It was a dreary kitchen tha walls were srooky, the dishes stood on the table in the middle of the floor, the cooking stove was open, with ket tles and pans on it, and eold ashes on its hearth, its sooty plates awry, a pot of dish water standing on top of the stovo, and the broom and poker and tongs lay iust where the little riders hud left them when they were called to pre) pare for school. Johnny had gone off crying, and his whine could even then be heard coming up the hollow, in the direction of the school house. The milk had not been strain ed, and the flies were buzzing about it as they sat on the edges of the two brimming pails, sipping and rubbing their hands together In a satisfied way. The baby was teething and croks, and tho one pair of hands that could have brought order out of this disorder were trying to soothe it. is it any wonder mat tears were in the mother's eye, as she cuddled her baby to her bosom, and walked across the floor trying to still its cries T "O, dear, what a lifet what a life!" said she; "I try to be patient and make the best of it, but it does seem hard 1" Just as the babe was growing ?uiet, and as his little blue hands had alien listlessly upon his bosom, a shadow fell across the doorway, and the husband entered, saying, "Jane, can you tell me what the children aid with the hatchet yesterday! "It was out on the rock, behind Johnny's wagon last night," said she, speaking low, and gently laying the baby down in a bed that had not been made up yet. "Seems to mo you re a good while gettin' your chores done ; you haven't the knack of gettin' along like Mrs. Lo vend ike her work is done up long ago, an' she's busy in the garden. Tell you, she's a nice garden; don't look much like ourn; you doi. t put the time on our'n that she does on her'n." "Oh, John, said the little woman, slipping back her sleeves and tying on a big apron, aad trying to keep her face turned away to bide the gather ing tears, "with four little children and baby sick, and three cows to milk, and calves to feed, and hands to cook for, and all the other work lo do, I on ly wonder that I get half my chores done in a whole day." "Well, I'm sure 1 don't see how it is, said he ; "my mother had ten liv ing children, and she -managed to get along first-rate, and do all our own weaving, besides taking in weaving for the neighbors.. You hare more room than she had, and you don't have to carry water forty rods, like she had here it is right at the foot of the bill ; and you never nave to cut your own fire-wood, unless it is in the midst of harvest, and I think you shouldn't complain. If there is .any thing J hate to hear, it is a growling, whining wife. Now I have to be out o' doors all the time, no matter how hot the sun shines, or how cold the wind blows; while you are in the shade and comfortable if you only knew it Ah, you have au easy time of it, you women, if you only knew it; so, cheer np. I married you for a help mate; don t you knawr loo girls will be hie enough in three or four years to help you, and then you can take times easier, and maybe by that time the bottom farm will be paid for, and we'll be able to ride in a carriage like the LsTetdikes. Ho w long sine you .brought in this water T" said .he, as he took a drink from the tin dipper, and finding it not fresh he squirted it out coolly on the floor among some pans that had slipped down off a shelf. As he took the hatchet and started out to the hay wagon to fix the hay nesmtr en ft, he said, "Jane. If you can as well as not. sposin' you have some o' them new beans that grow in that fur Jot for dinner T" "Well. I'll try," said she hopelessly, as she supped nsr shoes on so sne mfoht step softly and with more com fort. All we working women know i i . T J " j 1 wnai a MIS it is lo oruig a uisuruereu kitchen into neatness, especially when little children have been about. First she strained the milk, saving one quart, with which to mix the bread, tor the yeast was set the night before, and had been bubbling two hours; she mixed it and set it in the warm sun shine, and then started a fire and made feed of skim milk and meal for the noisy, frolicsome calves that ran in the dooryard. Then she swept and pick ed up playthings after the children, hune up their coats and aprons, and set their old shoes away, and moved their sleds and wagons from about the doors. While the dish water was heating she hurried ud stairs and made the beds: then washed the dishes, and went down cellar and skimmed the milk. There was cream enough for a churning ; the churn was scalded, and then left with a pail of cold wa ter standing in it, so as to be fresh and ready. By this time the baby woke and cried, and the tired little mother was compelled to sit down and take him in her sheltering arms. In half an hour or so he was ready to sit down on the floor on a quilt.and she left him long enough to carry three or lour pails ot skimmed milk to the pigs two pailsful at a time, and she went on the run. She always fed the pigs; when she asked her husband unce to carry the milk to the pen, on his way out to his work, he said, "That belongs to a woman's work ; a man whose name is put up for commission er shouldn't be asked to slop the pigs that's a little too steep." It was no trifling job to feed those pigs; the pen had been made out of some old bouse logs, and the opening through which the pails bad to be lift ed before they could be emptied was so high that it just came even with her neck, was only wide enough to admit the pail with the pail lying down. Twice when she was dressed up clean had the unsteadily poised pail tipped back and poured the contents upon her, from her neck down to hei little feet, as by a water spout. Withal the little mother was quite patient, and almost every day could her untrained voice be heard, even down te the lower field and the school house, singing : "A Charge to Keep I have ;" or "God Moves ip a Myster ious Way." But before another year a change came. The strong, hard man. her husband, was stricken down with ty phoid fever, and for long weary weeks he ley balancing between life and death. His recovery was very slow, and his confinement irksome ; nopns on walls could have been gloomier than were the home walli that held him a prisoner. Cay after day the patter of his wife's patient little feet fell upon his ear; he could near them on stairs and down, now here, now there, her voice always Kind ana ten der, her band ever ready to minister to her dear ones, her words full of con solation, and love, and cheer. John Jones was not wholly unira Eressible slowly the scales fell from is eyes, the light came, and he was as one born into a nigner ani oetter life. He drew bis bony hands across bis eyes; often the sobs made him catch his breath suspiciously, and be marvelled much that he had walked beside this little woman for fourteen years and not known that he was mated with an "angel unaware." His voice grew softer, tenderer; his great talony hands touched her forehead and hair lovinelr, as would a woman s touched her as though be was afraid she would fade away a white mist. Weeks afterwards, when he was able to ride out, the old whimsical buggy that had done good service in the days of his church-going parents, was made comfortable by a soft woolen blanket and an armful of sweet smelling oat straw. John didn't tell where he was going, but he looked wise, and his mouth had a pericy iook aoout ine corner that seemed to say : "Just let me alone, I know what 1 m about I It was evening when he came home. He was still as wise as when he went away, ins cup oi tea was waning, and his toast and the tender little pul let fried nice and brown, lie seemed really happy jolly. He trotted the baby on his foot that night, and he called his wife "Jenny," as in the days when he won her, and he let Johnny' play horse with his boots, and there was such a contented, rich-man ex pression in his face that his wife couldn't help wondering what had made such a change in him. The next morning the crazy old rig was called out again, and the soft blanket spread in it, and John Jones took the lines in his emaciated hands and drove off in the same direc tion as he did the day before. When he returned, he was accompa nied by a broad shouldered, good look in" German girl, whom he introduced tohis wife as "our girl." She looked with amazement upon "our girl," and then stared at John. He soon explained things (to her sat isfaction. "The upshot o' the matter is, Jane, that I've abused you long enough ; the Lord belpin' me, I'll never see you make a drudge o' yourself ag'in. It's a burnio' shame for any great lout like me to expect a frail little body like you to be a man an' dog, an' wife, an' mother, an' nigger, an' me savin' an' a hoard iu' up tuouey an' means to leave to the Lord knows who. I beg ygur pardon, Jane; and now you'll tell this girl, Barbara Groetz, how you want things done, an' let her take your place an' work in your slid, an' you'll live hereafter like a human man's wife ort to." liv this time his speech was made, the poor weak fellow was blubbering like a whale. Poor little surprised wife! She flew to his neck and laid ber head on his bosom, and cried like a baby as she said : "John Jones 1 you darling. "No, not a bit of a darlin'; just an old bear, a regular old heathen, to sacrifice the best little woman under the sun, inch by inch, the way that's been goin'- on for years an' years," snuffled he, as he fumbled over ber face in an aimless, loving way. Then "our girl," Barbara, went into Jane Jones' harness, and it fitted her to a fraction. - "How we've turned over a new leaf, go and dress up, Jenny, bless you ?" said the new convert. So, with the memory of laog syne warming her heart, Jane unearthed her wedding dress in the afternoon. and put it on, with a pretty old-fash ioned collar, and brushed out her nut brown hair that once upon a time curled beautifully- Perhaps she felt foolish and girlish, and out of her sphere, but she looked sweet enough to make up for all discrepancies. bhe sat sewing, putting a new band nn Ruby's new shirt, when the chil dren came home from school. Her back was toward the door. - Tom came to a dead halt as he stepped on the sill, and then ran round the lean-to to find his mother. No mother there, but the smiling, pinky-faced German girl, who was paring potatoes to bake lor supper. Tom bawled out : "Is mother dead ? O, I want my mother I" and circled around the house and peeped in shyly with wet eyes. Was that lady in a soft gray merino dress, wearing an embroidered collar and gold ear drops, his mother? That pretty woman I Surely it was, for Net' tie was teeiiug ot ber lace, and was sparkling ever and saying; "Is this you, mother T Why, where have you been T "Oh, ma!" said Tom, Lolding her around the neck as though she might nit away the next .minute; "why, where did you go, and when did you come back ? Pooi little ones how proud they were of the household drudge in her new and beautiful transformation! But this is not all. Before the first cold blast of Winter came, steps were taken to lighten the labors of the feminine portion of the farmer's house hold. An addition was built to the house, new siding was put ou and painted white. JNew windows were added, and green blinds and spouting, and a big cistern close to the kitchen door, and a wide, long, roomy porch. Closets were put in all the rooms ; the old verrainy bedsteads split up and used for kindlings; new chairs were bought, including a new rocking and sewing chair lor mother; a new sew ing machine, that was a love of triend; the door yard was paled in, and the calves and colts kept where they belonged ; and evergreen trees, and flowering shrubbery, and rose bushes, made beautiful the new yard An easy chain pump took the place of the old moss-covered bucket that held as much as a churn. It was pack ed off to the barn to put clover seed in, and the heavy windlass was borne away forever from the little arms that bail tugged at its ponderous weight with a sick weariness many and many a year. I he big wen rope mane nice swing under the oaks lor lorn Belle and chubby Harry. Now that the no longer enslaved mother has leisure to mingle with ber growing children as teacher, and com panion, and triend, they grow more lovable and intelligent, and they cling to ber like vines. They see so much in her to admire and emulate. And John Jones! That spell of fe ver was the Aaron rod that smote the rock of nis soul and opened it for the out-gushing of love, and sympathy and charms, and graces of the human heart; and to-day, growing broader and ruddier, and riper, and better, there lives no happier farmer than dear old renovated John Jones. Thus far there has been very littl extravagant dressing at the watering places, lherejs an evideut disposi tion on the part ot ladies to dress plainly and quietly. Fewer diamond are worn by gentee people, and there is very little of the "loud" style so conspicuous at the fashionable sum mer resorts a few years ago. This very timely suggestion is made by the Detroit Free Press: "Amid the busy scenes of Summer life let us not forget that Hannibal Hamlin, of Me., is the man who forced us to lick a two cent stamp on to the newspaper which went for one before." . The Niagara back men are under no restraint or restriction this year, and cheat and swindle as much as they ever did, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. In a nest of robins found on a farm at North Dartmouth, Mass., are three white birds and one cream-colored. Tbe old birds are of the common hue. Several horses were made deaf by lightning in a stable in Lancaster, Pa., a few days ago. THE BOIKANCE OF A BRIDAL TOl'R. We'll call him Henry, as that is a popular name. He came down from Troy last week in company with an elderly woman and her daughter. The girl was the Dulcinea of the hero Hen ry, and their purpose was to get mar ried. The first two days they passed getting together wedding outfits; lots of nice underwear, walking suits, in door costumes, and a series of bonnets were bought and sent to the East-side hotel, where the trio stopped. Sun day was to be the bridal day, and Sat urday night Henry went off to invite some friends to see the fun. During the time they had been in the hotel a spruce young clerk had paid divers under-hand attentions to the Trojan damsel, and on this Saturday evening be found the bnd in the parlor and had a long conversation with her. What be said and how he said it will never be known. But when Henrv came back at nine o'clock the oblig ing clerk met him with the informa tion that Dulcinea and her mother had gone to the Gilmore garden con cert, and he was to go right up there and hud them. The obedient man jumped into a car and headed for Twenty-seventh street. Meantime every newly bought article was speedily packed into trunks by the bride elect during that absence. and the hotel clerk and the lady went off on the 11 o'clock boat for New Haven. The returning lover woke the echoes and roused the hotel, when he received at the desk a note, in which the faithless girl advised him to renew an engagement with some pre vious flame who resides on Mount Ida, in the classic city of Troy, "because," said she, "I never knew what love was till I met Mr. , and we have gone together." Xhere was tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth in that hotel, when the prospective mother-in-law was aroused and told the news. Dulcinea had been in and out dur ing thd" hot evening, but had gone to bed at ten, so she supposed. She had onsiderately brought mamma a se ductive brandy punch, in which a bunch of mint was not the only green thing after ma got her nose in. me two deserted creatures sat .and lamented together, and the buxom mother was the firBt to suggest com fort. "Cindy was a young, inexperi enced thing; girls were no good, any way." Henry began to see they were not. As a mother-in-law, Mrs. M had not been ac unpleasant prospect, and, like pity with vice, Henry soon got to the embrace, found it much more solid than the timid litt.e hugs he had had front Dulciuea, and the upshot of it was Sunday morning at twelve o'clock there was a wedding, but the bride was Mrs. , not Miss TATTI.IHU. To all the black catalogue of vices, which unhappily debase tbe character of the sons and daughters of Adam, tattling well nigh holds the pre-eminence. It is the meanest, the most de testable of all habits, and wben once conti acted, clings bb it were with the tenacity of a demon. In view of its depravity, and of tbe many and fear-. fill vices following in the train, the Lord commanded Moses to "speak unto all tbe congregations of Israel and say unto them : 'Thou sbalt not go up and down, as a tale bearer among the people,' " and in the sa cred psalm it is written, "Whoso priv ily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off." . . The rabid dog, let loose in a com munity to bite whatever man and beast be meets, is not as dangerous as the tattler. The dog kills only tbe individual bitten while the tattler's venom poisons madly and fatally, tbe whole community, lie goes to a neigh bor's and listening attentively, hears, perhaps, something said that may be used to tbe disparagement, possibly, the ruin of another, which he drinks down with tbe avidity with which the thirsty toper does the fiery fluid, and then goes forth with venomous tongue to disseminate suspicion, distrust and rankling hate, where before was the abode of neighborly love and confid ing trust. Thus the peace of society is marred, often disrupted ; confidence is distroy- -ed; frieuds made foes, discord and strife created, and all the diabolical schemes of the father of lies, used to destroy all that is lovely and of good report, furthered by the tattler, who I may well be compared to the viper in the table, that, warmea ana orougm to life by the care of a too kindhearted benefactor, turned and stung him to tbe heart. "If all tbe world were blind, what a melancholy sight it would be," said au Irishman to his congregation. In view of the cheapness of divorce, Indiana jurymen xonsider $750 as a fair tariff for breach of promise.
