Mr. Joseph Hfclinnboii, of Uritlgo port ia probably tlio wcnHliii'&t innti in Connecticut. Mr. KIclmrdson bcciiis to lmyo possessed tho hnppy faculty of turning overtblng bo touched into money, and what In tho way of trans portation failed him he lias mado good by accumulation through patient wait, ing. Ilia rcsldcneo in North Ihldgo port is at tho corner of n largo farm which for fertility has no equal in tho country. Forty years ago ho sent to Knglniid for nn elm sapling. It reach ed him in March, and in tho following month lie planted it with caro near his dwelling. It grew and dorclopcd to a mighty tree. During tho thlrty thrco years it was crowing Mr. Ilicbardsoti often called tho attention of his friends to tho fact that in his nativo land, among tho educated classes, it was tho custom for men, by way of showing special regard for their personal Iricnd, to present them with elm timber for their coffins, and that this tree had boon planted and fostered with that end in view in his case. Ho often talked about tho tree, nud would nover allow tho pruning axo to be applied. Mr. Richardson s great wealth has brought him into association with tho best peoplo in tho country, and only nmong thoso who failed to bo honored with his intimato acquaintance a ho looked upon and pronounced penurious. Somo six or seven years ago "Mr. Kichardson took a final viow of his olm mid resolved to put in form tho resolu tion ho had adopted respecting the treo inoro man a generation preceding. 1 ho treo was felled, tho beat part of tho trunk taken to a mill and sawed into planks. From theso sufficient matenal was selected for three coffins. To make his own coffin ho engaged tho services of a Air. Judd, of Bridge port, wno was instructed to practice economy. This artisan dovetailed tho ends of tho planks, theroby rendering mo employment ot iron screws tin necessary. When tho coffin was dc. livored Mr. Richardson pronounced it pcrtect in overy part and had it Hacked away in his garret to await tho owner's nnai can lor its use. In reply to friend s question ho said : "No, there will be no engraved pjato. It costs too much, and is not essential. I havo had my old brand iron and will use that. But the peculiar f caturo of this tim ber matter follows. Long ago Mr. Kichardson mado tho acquaintance of llov. Dix, D. D., rector of Trinity Church, New Yoik, and thero grew up Dciween tnem a warm friendship. Mr. Richardson addressed to his friend tho followine nolo : Dear. Brother : I send you material enough to make a coffin. Pleaso ac cept. Yours, J. Richardson, Dr. Dix acknowledged tho receipt of tho gift and expressed thanks. lie at once proceeded to have a coffin made, uui, instead ot IoIIowwe Mr. Richard son's BPRKestion of suDnlvintr dovetails for economy 'o sake, he had it made up in raoaern style, brass fastened at the corners, adorned and Btrcncthened. When tho giver was apprised of Dr. Dix'a expensive ideas ho protested, and felt suro the pomps and vanities of this world were destined to tako precedence over the plain and substantial matter ot tact, itemaining planks from th treo wero presented by Mr. Richard son to his only brother in New York, who likewise was thankful, but could not bring himself to appreciate tho economy measures in coffin construct ion followed by the giver.

THE POET'S DEATH SOHU. Tho recent death of Paul Hamilton II ay no, tho noblest poet that tho boiiUi has produced, lends peculiar interest to his lofty strain of final triumph which appeared in tho May number ot Jiar per Mngazwc, Mr. iiayno early dovoled himself to literature, and his uamo is associated with nearly nil tho best magazines, especially the Southern oucb, several of which, though short lived, roso to eminence) under his edi torship. When tho war deprived him of his fortuno he still continued Into to his standard. His picturoFqtiu little homo near Augusta, furnished with what ancestral coods ho managed to savo in tho destruction of Charleston, has been tho scene of his labors tor 20 years. Having experienced nil tho phases of prosperity and adversity, his lingering decline "with consumption mado him a calm and fearless student ol tho coming change. Tho result is beautifully shown in this ponm, which, though written two years ago, by a strango coincidence was published just beforo tho writer was permitted to ver ify its truth. Wo repeat it for thoso who may not havo seen it in Jfarjcr's Magazine. FACE TO FACE. 11Y J'AVI. It. HAYNK.

HOW HE SHOT A IIORSR-TIIIEI' 1IANDI-UI. 01' 1'll.I.S. WITH A "I was living in a littlo Missouri town," said tho man of medicine, "struggling along ns best I could against adverse fato and tho disgusting healthiness of tho community. Ilorse thioving was a very common thing iu that part of tho country, and somo of the residents of tho" county in which I lived had formed an anti-horsa-thiof association. When a horse was stolon it becamo tho duty of overy member ot tho association to thorougly arm himself, mount his steed, and start in pursuit of tho thief. Ono day ono of the members of tho association lost a string of three valuable horses. "Within" less than half an hour after tho loss had been discovered a band of thirty members of the association wero in hot pursuit of tho thiof. At 7.30 o'clock in tho evening we ran across him in a thick clump of bushes, tho horses staked about him. Wo closed iu, and iu less timo than it takes to tell it, tho horeo thiof was under arrest. A "court" was orgauized without a moment's delay, and a tiial lasting uot longer than ten minutes followed. Tho fellow was found guilty and sentenced to die. I felt eorry for tho scamp tried to iutercodo in his bohalf : ho was a young fellw with whom I had been acquainted for some time, nud ...1 T wnom i Know to comii trcm respected ... !.. Til!

"Say your prayers, bov." said ono of tho men to the young fellow, who had been tied to a treo. "Tho poor cuss didn't know how to pray and asked mo to he In him. 1 didn t know anything but the Lord's jjiuyur win ineu mat. it went so well, and seemed to relievo tho noor i-ll . . w enow bo union, mat i repeated it several tunes.

It was growing dark and tho men wero bo coming Impatient, so that 1 detoi mined to hurry matters to a crisis. I had n double-barreled muzzlo loading shot gun, mid under protenso that tho loads wero not fresh I lired them oft". I re loaded them, not with shot, but with somo very small pills which I happen ed to havo with me. I was moitv well watolied and trembled inwardlv lest I might bo detected. Hut I wasn't. I measured off a coodlv dlstnnco on tho ground and lired.taking a low aim. Tho horso thief fell over apparently dead.

Tho Russian poasant enters tho bonds of matrimony for no other reason on earth but that of securing a hard working slave. Hut a few wiso say ings of his own will lllustrnto his views of married llfo moro forcibly than any mero description : "A liard-workinir wife is liko n cood mllkintr cow i ono supplies with milk, tho other with linen. "A disobedient wifo is like a wild horso i tho moro lashes sho nets tho lamer sho becomes." "To lovo n wifo is to strike her upon overy sultablo occasion.'' And to strike n wifo upon every sultablo occasion, almost on 'ho day after marrying hor, Is indeed no noyeity nmong poasnnlry. 1 reincm bnr a case whero a peasant nearly choked his wifo to death iu his despo- rnto anger bccaiiBO sho allowed herself, after a year's hard saving, to buy some calico for a Sunday dress. I know nn old couple, parents of n number of grown-up children, who at certain sea sons iu tho year, ns regularly as clock work, aro intoxicated. iSverythint: that is found in tho houso is taken to tho tavern and exchanged for vodka, mid thus by tho timo tliey begin to re alise their horrid position a good por tion of linen, grain, flower nud eggs is gone. Tho husband's anger then knows no limits, and tho poor fceblo wife, probably tho ieast to blame, suffers from her lord all insults imaginable I know a quiet and peaceful young pons ant, who, after being sonstantly ridi culed by his comrades for being too lenient with his wife, for allowing her to hnvo too much to say, slapped her face upon ono solemn occasion in tho presence of his friends merely for tbo s.iko of denying this degrading accusa tion and establishing his reputation ns her master. Such is tho lot of a peas ant woman. Sho is perfectly awaro of tho ill-treatment awaiting her iu her futuro home, yet sho is satisfied and re signed to her fate. Oftentimes, howover, it happens that a peasant marrios not ouly with out having tho faintest idea of tho girl's character, but almost without having had achanco to exchango a few words with her. This is generally douo at the timo when, for somo reason or other, there is no possibility of marrying any of tlio girls of his own village, and when marry ho must. On a fiuo morning tho bridegroom, dress ed up in bis wooden cvita, with tho brightest red colored belt, high sheep skin hat and nowest of boots, may bo seen starting out in company with a fow elderly and experienced peasants engaged for this purposo by tho bride groom's parents, in search of a good girl. No houso containing a girl is passed by. Upon entering tho house tho wifo huuting party say a fow words of cus tomary salutation such as "health bo to you, good people,'' and immediately, without beating around tho bush, ap proach tho subject. This buuness-liko transaction, it is worth wbito mention ing, is often carried on in the absence of the girl directly concerned in tho matter. Tho bridegroom upon such occasions is supposed to havo hut littio or nothing to Bay. Tho conversation is canicd on between tho parents of tho girl and thoso entrusted with this important mission. If tho girl's par ents, for some reason or other, do not intend to let their child bo married at present, tho guests are politely told so. ami alter inquiring it there aro any suitaoio gins it tnat unmediato ncigti bortiood they leavo tho house. As general thing, however, tho party ox periences no difficulty in attaining tho uujeci iiesireu. .ttiier tno parents nave decided tlio girl is summoned at once, ana uero irequwiiiy ensues a scene worthy of an artist's brush. Sho takes her placo by thostovoand without lift ing tier eyes, biting her nails aud-nssum ing tho most innocent face, frequently keeps tho party waiting ror a long wniio ueloro '.ho laconic "yes ' (da) is extorted from her. Thero is hardly need of adding that when onco tho parents' decision is mado no prayers or tears on tno gut's part can alter it. A ropo and strap bring tho most btubborn tciiado to terms. Board Oovers on Hay Stacks. Under tho censure and criticism o another farmer, writes Mr. J. N. Mun coy in Farmer's Jievleio, who claimed ho had tested boards for keeping hay dry and found them to bo an absolute failure, I concluded to give Sir Hoard n trial, Accordingly m 1885 I pur chased $30 worth of lumber, which proved to bo just about enough for three stacks containing approximately 15 tons each. This hay had been stacked by ono man and pitched on tho stack with a horso fork. At tho timo of stacking, two teams nnd threo wag ons wero ousy, ami tno stacker could only keep tho stack square under tho hay derrick, not having lime to build for beauty. Each stack was built about 22 feet high. Tho wido boards wero put on, ouo at a time, and com mon, smooth, fence wire made to hold them together by putting staples abovo and below tho lapd. If tlio boards aro 12 feet long, a fenco wiro should bo used at the ends and in tho'middle. 1 supposed at tho timo that thev fitted tho stack so closely that thero would be no uso of hanging weights to the lower uoarus to prevent the wind from blow. ing them off, but in this I was disap pointed. Tho wind blew off two see tionR of boards. When ready to uso tno nay, wo tako tho boards apart from ono section, cutting tho stacks whero the two sections joined. Tho luinbe cost SIC per thousand, and I will von- turo tho assertion that it paid 30 per cum. on mo investment. 1 know it saved moro than a ton of hay in oach stack, and that is $1 anyway. January 3, 1879, for tho purposo of determining tno accuracy ot tho rulo iur measuring nay to una Its weight, 1 weighed a Black having 14,500 pounds of hay. On tho very top thero was 1,470 pounds damaged hay. Two thirdi of this was verv noor. Ono.holf of this damaged hay" was eaten when fed. Tho next load" from tho top hay had 1,200 pounds, which I called fair, being slightly damanred. Tl 10 remain. dcr was good to tho bottom,070 pounds. These figures will givo bohio notion of tho amount that might bo damaged on larger stacks. A poorer quality of lumber than that I used will answer unlois you contomplato using tho saino ior n uaru at somu future time. 15o suro to hang weiirhts on Iho lower boards Oct a man that can build a squaro stack and do not put a very high top on.
