mder thin process. For many years the in
tnxludifin of these goods was slow, owing
to popular pi ejuilice against "plated" goods,
but gnitli'ally tho public lcarnel that tho
Jamt JtteJ Gold Watch Case was not a
eii) jul J-u ashed or electro-plated article,
but v.us made of genuine gold plain of
ttanilard quality and thickness. Conscientious
a'lhcruK-e to tho determination to make
the bil watch ease ever put on tho market,
and tho adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the Jama lioss' Gold

His jerenmid was clieeki tl by the
appearance of his wife, who camu out

Farmer Brewster was a young in.iii
in ppite of liis griimbling. "Only twen-ty-tlnee,
tall, straight, healthy, with
bhiu eyes, rosy cheeks, fair curly hair
and handsome faco when it was not
daikciicd, us now, by 11 scowl of dis

largo and handsome farm, clear of
mortgage antl debt, which supplied all
the wants of his household most lib
erally and gave him a nico littlo sum
of money to deposit in the bank each
year.
There vas no reason why he hhoiild
bo mean, and yet miscilj habits were
gradually growing upon him far faster
tlnn hu knew.
Nor was there need of grumbling
over the household arrangements, tsiueu
the wifu of his choice was a farmer's
daughter, who know well how to work,
ami who had taken delight in setting
1
lor homo 111 iaultless order when lust
she camo as a brido to the pleasant
UrewHter il.u:o.
The smie order retailed still, from
garn t lo cellar of the old square homo,
but .Mrs. lirowster went ttiroiiih her
tasks mechanic illy now, or with ner-
011s haste and hurry that mado thorn
almost unendurable sometimes.
The constant drop of water will wear
away a stone ; and tho constant fault
finding in which her hmbfuul saw lit
to indulge had nearly worn the patience,
the hopij and the endurance out of tho
young wife's heart.
iho comtort and happiness ot that
tomo hung upon a thread, which fray
ed more and more-, hour by hour, till
er the pain of unmet lied blame.
iet tieorie Hrewster saw nothiiiL'of
this until the morniii'' of which I
wiite.
''There is the lunch, and It is exactly
live miniile.s past ten," said Mrs. Brews-
scttin": the basket down with some
mphasis at his feet. "I was delayed
that much with the butter. It had to
bo seen to beforo the sun not loo
igh."
"Jly mother always churntd betore
reakfast." observed George, rising
slowlv to his feet.
His wife said iiothinj;, but the color
osc hotly in her cheeks till tho lost
bloom of her girlhood co jiuud to have
come hack again, and she raised her
eyes to his with a look that started
him.
Very handsome eves thev were
dark, Hoft and velvety, with a world of
lovo and tenderness in their depth.
let now they met his o.vn coldly
and sternly, with such
an expression
that ho I'xi'l.iimpd :
Gnml rrr.iiMt.ns. T.oitv ! Yon look- ns
f you hated me.
"I am afraid I do." was Iho astound-
ins reply.
And with a swiit glaucoat the clock,
Letty hurried down into the cellar with
a knife nnd pan to mako her prepara
tions lor dinner ior six hungry hay
makers. "Afraid she hates mo ! My wife!
Sho thai was Lettv Glover I" muttered
ho to himself in las bowildermont.
"Why what 011 earth! She must bo
going crazy or something or other."
"J.etty 1' ho called at the cellar door.
"It is ten minutes pat ten," sho an-
swered from tho depth of her cellar.
"If I don't sec about tho dinner it
won't bo on tho tablo at twelve to the
minute, as your mother used to have
it. I can't come."
'Well, if this don't boat all," said lie
to tho malteso and white cat, who as
cended from tho cellar and rubbed-
herself against his legs.
A shout irom tho hay held roused
him to the recollection of tho day's bus-
HCrS.
Ho went out and dispensed thoticas
urcs of his basket among tlio hungry
men, who praised Letty's cooking with
every motithiul they swallowed.
It s enough to make an old bach
elor like me sit down and cry to cat
such raspberry shortcakes as that," said
Solomon Wyse, wiping tlio crumbs of
the feast from his lins before ho drank
hard cider from tho jug. "Tell von
what it is, George, you drew a prize
when you went courting."
"bo ho did. And Heros hor good
licalth," chimed in another mower, as
ho took up the jug,
lieorgo assented vaguely.
They wero talking of his wife-
-his
wife who was afraid she hated him
Never had two hours between luiioli
and dinner passed so slowly
As hu rodo round and round tlio field
witli a sharp rattlo of tho mowing m-
machine lie guided in his care, his mind
was continually busy with Letty's looks,
and her words, ami his eyes often turn
ed toward the cream
colored farm
house, behind whose spruce green
blinds his wite was busy preparing dm
tier
"I used to think how happy I should
bo it 1 over persuaded her to como
here," ho thought. "It is two years
why, I declare it is two years this veiy
day that wo were married 1 1 wonder
if sho remembers it. But it isn't verv
likely, when sho says sho is afraid she
hates 1110.
Did sho remember ? Ah, in that re
membrance lay tho sting.
All that morning while sho got
breaklast at hvo o clock, and washed
tho dishes, swept tho rooms, mado tho
bods, churned butler and prepared a
luiiuu ior six uiei), tier iieari- tiuiieti
baoh lo tlio oilier morning twenty-Four
mounts ago, when the iirigiii-eyed
country maiden rose nt four o'clock to
oampleto hor pieparatlons for her wed
ding day.
How good, how kind, how liatpl
Bomu her Georgo was the.i, How h's
eyes followed her 1 how his love bless"d
her.
Wns it all her fault that tho bloom
and beauty of lite had departed in
those Biiori years 1
Looking baok sho could sea 110 day
in which sho had not at least tried to
do hor duty,
And looking in tho glass window she
saw how the light and glow of youth
had passed from her f me, whllo ao
eomplisliint; the task uncheered by the
approval of him sho loved
"Oenrixe has kept his color find his
good looks beciiise his work lies out of
doors," sho mined, "hut I have worked
in this old kitchen until I look old
enough lo hu his mother. His nnther"
slw p lined With a bitter laugh "I
almost wish I was his mother, thon ho
would b? suited with what-1 did."
Noon came. Tho twelve o'clock
whislio sounded sharp and clear from
the lactory in tlio village a mile away ;
and beforo tho whiitlo ceased a little
figure stepp-jJ out on tlio side porch
of tho Brewster house nnd blew a horn.
"There's n woman lor you,'' said Sol
omon Wyse, admiringly. "Dinner to
the minute and won't it be a good
0110 r
The dinner was, indeed, a success,
every dainty of the season and farm
was there, skillfully cooked and neatly
served on a table in the cool dining
room a table covered with snowy
cloth fresh from its fold, and glass and
china.
In tho centre of tho table stood a
great china howl full of red roses that
perfumed tho room. Her cheeks wore
red, her eyes bIioho dark and bright,
her words and smiles woro ready for
every one save George.
As she sal grave and Bilent at tho
foot of the table, he looked at her won
deringly. Sho woro a dress of silver gray al
paca that had been her traveling dress
when they were married.
A large white apron, with n bib,
shielded tlm glories of tho costume.
But why did she put it on ? Surely
sho could not think of "going visiting"
that afternoon, with MX haymakers to
get tea for a'ld tho milk of eight cows
to attend to afterward.
But ho finally wont out without aik-
lntr it. Tho wile who was afraid sho
lated him, seoniid almoit liko a stran
ger, although sho looked so much on
this occasion liko the girl ho had mar
ried two years ago.
ivs Lieorijo uoared (ho woodsheed,
where the men wero lunnccliijjr away
tho rest of the nooning, lie heard his
own name uttered by Solomon Wyse
in tones of angsr.
involuntarily he stayed his stops.
"Yes, I know Goorco from a baby
up, and I always said lio'd make a like
ly man. But I vow it is a shams to
see how ho treats that prcttv littlo
creature 1 Such a lunch this morning
and such a dinner this noon, in such a
nico cool room, with tho red roses and
all the rest of it : and she is itist .13
pretty as a picture, with her red cheeks
and bright eyes, and wavy hair, and
dressed as neat as a pink, too. And
ho sitting there as glum as a cross
old man of ninety. I was ashamed of
lim."
"Ivo heard ho does uolhiiic but find
fault witli her all tho day lon," said a
second voice. "My wife says if I threw
my mother into her teeth, as (Jeorgo
does his in Letty's, who'd run away
from 1110 beforo sho was a day older.'1
nd servo you rtaht eliimod in a
third. I tell you what my wife says :
She says it is confounded mean at,d
small of George not to keep a woman
hero to help his wite. And when 1
!w the dinner: tO'day, the pretty little
Ull,,S Kot l0' H" -Hone, 1 thought
au mo u 1 mum t nan a
mind to stop hero this afternoon and
help her wash up that creat pile of

"I am foolish to look nt him again.
I have never been more than a house

thought, tumbling Mindly 011 toward

"Garry him I" repeated Lotty.-
Solomon stepped tisido. Sho saw

"Oh, Mr. Wyse, is he dead 1" sho
asked, turning oven paler than Goorgo.

"Bring him 111 here," said Letty re

She led the way to tho bedroom on

tho maimed figure from the litter to

her for fear, yet not .1 word passed her
lips.
When tho doctor camo in ho found a
cipable nurse, dressed in a dark print
who listened intelligently to his direc

Letty bonding over tho bed absorbed
in tho invalid, had not heard him.
"What is it dear?"
"Tho doctor is right. You are a

It was all that Litty's sore heart

sho spent two of tho happiest months
of her life. Tne first act of Georgo
Brewster on his recovery was to secure

plenty of timo to get back her lost
color and plumpness. They are one

And Solomon Wyse has never seen oc
casion to administer tlio "talking to."
"Somehow or other," drawled Solo

And Letty and Goorgo thinks so
too.

A SKETCH "OF HIS LIFE.
Hon. John G. Carlisle, representing
tho Gth district of Kentucky 111 tho pre
sent Congress, is uow forty-eight years
of age, seven years of which ho has
served in Congress with increased dis
tinction each term. Soon after enter
ing upon his first term in 1S7C it was
coucedod by tlio older members of the
House that Mr. Carlisle was destined
to become a central figuro in national
politics, and timo has verified tlio wis
dom of their prophecy by his elevation
to the speakership of tlio body in which
he has so brilliantly figured.
Tho contest from which Mr. Carlisle,
lias just so successfully emerged is a
victory that brings him into formidable
prominence as an excellent probability
on tho Presidential ticket of 1881.
Within an hour after his selection by
tho caucus for tho speakership thero
were not a few emphatic in their opin
ions that the present honor was only a
step to the Presidency of tho Senate in
1885.
In other words it'11 claimed that Car
lisle will bo tho IJjmocratic nomuieo
for Vice-President next year in com
biiiation with somo northern men for
the Presidency, thus uniting tho
two great sections
and South. Tho

Your correspondent sought an inter
view with tho new Speaker and found
him willing to frankly express himself
on subjects for future legislation.
"Mr. Carlisle, do you consider your
selection for Speakership an endorse
ment by tlio Democratic party of your
reformatory views on the tariff.
"Most emphatically yes. I was the
only candidate for the honor represent
ing my party's policy ou tariff, Messrs.
Randall and Cox both holding views
inconsistent witli our position on the
purposes of a tariff.''
"Do you mean 'tariff for revenue
only' ?"
"That is tho constituent principle, to
be regulated, however, so as to protect
our homo industries without fos'.cring
monopolies For instatico, wo should
have a high tariff on manufactured
products coming in competition with
homo industries, with a low tariff on
raw materials not attainablo in our own
country.'
"Do you anticipate any attempt in
tho present Congress to revise tlio exist
ing laws on this subiect V
"Thero will probably be no effort of
the kind until a change in tho political
complexion 01 tho Senate occurs. 1
believe, however, that tho question will
bo approached sooner or later intelli

I talk about homo because I am rare
ly there and men liko to talk most
of what thev know least about. "Thero
is no place liko home.' Even those
who Hvo in boarding-houses lotichlngly
wnrblu that song. IIouis is more to a
womin than it is to a man. A man
who has no homo is a social tramp.
With a woman it is different s sho
wants a homo but docs not always
have a chance to get it. Woman feeds
upi.n affection. Sho is never happy
until she gets hor ideal man ; and then
she is cast down to find another wom

cept what ho spends at th store, club,
caucus, lodge or prayer inceiing is spent,
in his home. Man is great in his own

It is said that every home has a skel
eton ; but I don't behove it. It is only
a tiling af tho imagination. Some to
gard a poor relation as a skeleton
but that is wrong. No man
is poor for fun ; lie cant help it, and is
entitled to your sympathy. Homes aro
brighter and better than they used to
bo. Our wives make them so. When
a wifo buys hor husband a diamond
pin for Christmas, it bright
ens home ; nnd tho husband is mado
happy by receiving tlio bill ton days
beforo Christmas. Husbands, take
your wives into your confidence ; it
will help you to success.
What is home without a dog t Ii is
altogether too quiet, I took a dog

and rather than try it again I would

dogs. They will pay S 100 for a Gor

Lodges are useful ; but too many
of them do noi mako a homo happy. A
