Fanner Smith lias lost his wheat, his sheds ati'i inatninotli liarn; Hi little hoy, with one small mutch, burnt up the whole concern. I toll you, wife, he'll feel it sore ; a man on money lient Can't .stand up undtr tuch a load, when not in.Mirod a cent. I don't know a.s I pity hiAi ; I call it a great sin To hoard the harvest of throe years in spa cious haru and hi n ; I can't feel pity for a nuni that douhle lock? Ms door, And stops his cars to all the cries that come up from the poor.- I like to see economy, I like to see men save, And lay up something for theit kin when they are, in their pravo ; lint you and I know very well, from what we both have seen, Then is a line which, when 'tis crossed,- n man yets to !) mean. When wheat was sixteen shillings ti prim that paid us well Smith Hitid. "I'll wait for twenty, I vow, be fore. I'll sell ;" Then, when it reached that figure, he said to tin' one noon, "I guess I'll hold it longer ; 'twill le throe dollars soon." lie held it, and he ran. in debt for things to wear and eat ; "When merchants dunned him he would say, "Wait till 1 sell my wheat ;" Soon the old tune u.ol liddled out, and men bewail to sue, And he beaii to borrow to pay accounts long due. When .Smith goes off to buy a thing, he Spins around t lie town, And tries with a'.l his miuht and main the price to banter down ; When lie has anything to sell Mis priceless in his eyes. And he must have the highest price the lowest when ho buys. "Live and let live" itr jjoldn words; this other motto, too "Do unto others as you'd wish that they w otiM do 1o y. .it ;" If Smith b;vl done as they command, he would not have, to-day. The ashes of three harvests to load and draw away. Wife ! if you take a- In-rry and dry it in the sun, 'Tvtill shrivel tin till it takes two to make the size of one ; So many a man, in grasping gain, so shrivels up his soul, That it will never expand again while life's years o'er him roll. God bless the farmers of our land ' they are not all like him Who walks around that smouhloiing pile now in the twilight dim ; Living on God's Lroa.1 acres, their souls ex pand and grow Their ears are ever open to tales of want and w o. God bless the men, whoe'er they be, in coun try or in town, 1 Who do not think it life's great work to crowd their neighbor s down ; This world would 1h the lM-tter, this life would pleasure give, If every man who toils to live would let his brother live. Jimaixs axj Tim uuon One Humiay niyht Iligyins canto into nty ollico ami sat ilown without a word. For soino minutes lio stit still, wtitchiug; mo intently as if ho was trying to make out by the sound of my pen what I was writing. ''Stpiire," said lie at length, "Jul I ever tell you about my scrape with tho widow Horry i here on the river?" "Never dil," said I, laying down my lcn ; "let's hear it.'' "They're curious creatures, widows is,"' said he in a meditative tone, "and the more you study about 'em the more you don't know anything about "cm. What was this thing l'vo read about in Egypt, or some other country, that nobody coidd unriddle ?" "The Sphynx, probably," I replied. "Well," lie continued, "that was a widow as sure as you ever had a granny. Every thing else on tho earth has been found out but them, and they're as much a mystery to-day tui the lengtli of the North Pole. "You may read the history of the world from Genesis to Revelations, and you'll find that widows has been at the bottom or top of five quarters of the devilment that's been eut up. Was yuti ever in love with one?" "IiOts of them," said I. "You're a great gander that's what you are," said he. "A man that loves one and gets over it won't never get bit by another, if he's got as much sense as a ground hg ; but I'm a little grain too smart to let another of them get all the I tramps on me. "Tho widow 1 lorry that I was speaking of, is a little of the handsomest woman, I reckon, that ever looked a man into fits, and I ought to be a judge, for I've seen lots of pretty women in my day. She was about twenty-live years old when I went up there to work, just in the bloom of her beauty, and ss full of deviltry as a three year old mule colt. There was a ball over at Jenkins', and of course I went, for I aiway go where there is any fun going on, and generally net the fool lfore I get away, of conrxe. "Tho widow waa there, dressed a fine a Solomon's lilies, and flying around M frisky as a young lamb in a rye patch. I got introduced to her and asked her to dance with me, and when she Hashed her eyes at me and said "Yes," I jumped up like I had set down on a hot griddle. You may talk about sensations, but when sho took hold of my baud and sorter nqueezed it, I felt a sensation as big as a load of wrsxl, and it kept running up and down my back like a squirrel with a hawk after him. I'm very fond of dancing, but I'll be hanged if I know whether I enjoyed it that night or not, for every time s-h txk curious behind my ears and up and down my back again, and then I wouldn't know whether I was on earth or in a balloon, or on a comet, or anything about it. It was undoubtedly a case of love at first sight, and a powerful bad case at that. For a Vndor I got through the frolic witliout making myself conspicuous or cutting up any extras, as I'm in the habit of doing when I go into public. I'd set my pegs to go home with tho widow after the bull, but just rs I was fixing my mouth to ask hcr, up steps a big, long, leather faced doctor, named Mabry, and walked her right oft" before my eyea. That riled me a lit tie, but I kept my tongua still, inwardly swearing to break his bones the very first opportuni ty that presented itself. I saw there was no use saying anything, so I went home and went to bed, and all the rest of the night I was dreaming alxmt raiubows, an gels, butterflies, fiddles, widows and doc tors, mixed up worse than a Dutchman's dinner.- "Well, 'Squire, to make a short story of it, I made up my mind to have the widow, or 3c i 11 myself, or somebody else. "So I made it convenient to le on hand where she was, upon all occasions. I could not eat, nor step, nor work, and if the thing had held on, I wouldn't had K?tie enough to skin a rabbit. But I was deter mined it shouldn't last long, for I'd been fooled so often by women that I thought I wouldn't give her time to think of anything but me. She appeared to take to me right sharply and tho d.ctor seemed inclined to mix in with me, but I didn't consider him no more than a brush fence, for I was so far gne I thought she could see nobody on" earth but me. Well, "Squiro, things went o;i so for aliout a month, and one Sunday I screwed up my spunk and put the question to her. She sorter laughed and sorter looked one-sided, and finally told me sho couldn't give me an answer just then, but if I'd call at her house the next Thurs day evening, she'd give me a final answer. Thinks I you nio mine just as sure as there's a tiddler h-clow. Whenever a wo man takes time to study she'll say yes. 'Squire, don't the poet say something about tho calculation of men arid rats going crocked "Alice and men, Bums says." I replied. "Well, mice and rats is all one, :i.:d so is fools sometimes, as I have found :;t in ray travels. I w as fo shuro she wjhI 1 ii:'veme I went oil' and spent all my money for iir.e clothes, thinking I would have then: ready for tho wedding and I did? Confjund that widow, I say ! Confound all tl.v wid ows ! In time Thursday evening came, though it was a fong time about it, and over I went feeling as big as Josh Ila ynor did when he was elected Ooronor. I got there about dark, and found a right smart Crowd collected, which wa-s not mi the bills, but I felt as big and as good .. the rest of em. Sol marched in like a blind mule into a potato patch, and took a seat by the the. I didn't see anything of the widow, but I kept hv.iking for her to come in or send for me, and passed away the litne by c ussin' the crowd to myself, think ing they had no business there, and I would not get to talk to my woman a bit. Presently the door opened ami in walked Polly and that long-legged Doctor, and a whole team of boys and girls fixed up sav agely, 1 tell you. I looked around for a tiddler, thought they wero goin' to have a ball, but wondered what they kept so st ul for, and was about propositi' a reel, wheu up gets a little preacher, and before you could swallow a live oyster, he had Polly and the Doctor married faster than a Mex ican greaser could tie a bull's horns. I was so completely llummuied that I set there with my mouth wide oixm like I was goin' to swaller t lie whole crowd, and my eyes looked like billiard balls until the cer emony was over, when I jumped up and liellowed "I forbid the concern from being consti tuted." "You arc a little too late, my friend," said the preacher, and they all commenced laughing like they etoeu something funny. "I'll bo squirzled if I don't bo soon enough for somebody yet," nays I, "for I was mad, 'Squire, and no mistake in the ticket. I do believe I eould have had a fair chance at him. It was too bad, after I had fixed up to marry her myself, for her to walk right out before my eyes and marry that great baboon." "It was bad, that is a fact," said I. 'Bad I" cried he, "it wn meaner than eating fried coon. I first thought I'd go straight home, but then I concluded that wouldn't Fpite nobody, so I determined to stay and see if I couldn't get satisfaction out of somebody. You know I'm the deuce to get myi-elf or somebody else into a scrape when I take a r.frtion. I'd taken one that night that went all over me like a third day chilL so I commenced a studyin' out some plan. I recollected hearing tho doctor say that where he come from (but the liord only knows where that was) the bride and groom always washed their faces together before they went to bed, as a charm against infidelity, or imbecility, or some other long word. While I was st udy in' about that, I spied the doctor's saddlo bags sitting in the corner, so I waited till they went to supper, and then I got the bags and looked to see what I could dis cover. Nearly the first thing I saw was a piece of lunur csu'tic. I hpped it into my pocket, for I had my plan as pooh as I Bflrw it. Well, I watched around till I saw one of the girls go to the pail w ith tho pitches so I went cut and asked her what she was going to do with it ; she said she ! was going to carry it into the room for tho doctor and Poily to wash their faces In. I kept talking to her while sho was rilling the pitcher, and when she turned herbead I dropped the causto into it. It was then about bed-time and I got my hat and put out, but I couldn't help laughing all the way heme, whenever I'd think about the ncit morning. "Well, 'Squire, they do say that when they vrakeU up next morning they both had the hardest kind of fits, each one thinking thoy had been sleeping with a nigger. Oh t it was rich ! Tie a cussin" and tearing np things, and she ascreamin' and faiutin' and comin' to and goin' on again, and me not there to see it. They made such an nneartldy racket that the folks broke into the room to ee what was the matter, and there they was with their faces and hands all as black as the inside of an old stove pipe. I'd give half my in terest in t'other world just to have fcen the wholo row. As soon as they found out that they were really tho s-ime folks that married the night before, they called for warm water and Soap, but just hero the doctor happened to think about tho pitch er, and tHk it to ihe door to see what was the matter. There was a little piece of caustic that had not dissolved, and as son he saw it he says : "It's no use washing, Polly ; all the roap in New York can't wash the black oft"." "That was the truth, 'Squire ; soap and watei had no more etVect than it would on a native Ikuti African, mid all the chance was to wait and let it wear off. I low long it took them to get white again I never found out : but one thing I know," he concluded, getting np to go out, "the next time 1 saw the doctor I had the liardent light and come tho Highest gettting whaled that I ever did in all my life." An Intei.iagknt Pio.-The Jcerzon iu)i, published at West Chester, this Stare, says : Mr. J. Atwood Pyle, residing in West I'allowf.ehl tow'nship, Chester county, is the. ou?r of a pig of tho feminine gen der, that outrivals the generality of .her species in jx.int of genuine pig intelligence. To the shaking of apples iu 7Ir. Pjle's orchard hhe appears to give her undivided attention. In the evenings, she with the other memljcrs of the pen are fastened up, and Mr. Pyle informs us that upon opening the pen in the morning, sho starts uxn a run for tho orchard, followed by tho other pigs, and after eating all tho apples to be found upon the ground, she proceeds to shaking tho tree herself, while the rest look on, and at every shake, all rush to the spot and partake of the fruit which she causes to fall. Her method of shaking the apples is confined to the lower limbs, whivh she takes in her mouth, and with the same vim displayed by a terrier when in posses sion of a rat, sho makes tho tree tremble from the top to its roots, and always with fruitful results. Where the limb is not so near the ground as to allow of her taking hold easily, sho brings her agility into use, and it is not an unfrcquent occurrence to see her jumping two and a half feet to catch the limbs, bring them down and give them a violent shaking. The other pigs evidently hold her in high appreciation and esteem, for wherever she gees, they invariably follow, well knowing that a feast is sure to be the ultimate result. Al though her .demonstrations upou the deli cious fruit are not wholly rellished by her owner, still he admits that Lis objections often yield in order to -ee her go her rounds, catering for the tastes of her ad miring followers. A Flash ok Lightning Cacsks a Mak riage. A little episode has recently come to light which, to say the least, is novel ,iu its results. Briefly stated, the f;u;t are as follows : A festival was held at Shoafs Hall a short time since, and two gentlemen, liv ing just outside of the city limits, escorted three ladies of their neighWuhood to the ball. All rtxle in one vehicle, and after the festival w as over started to ret ni 11. ( hio of the male party was a widower, yi hile one of the female crowd was a gay and festive widow. On the return home these two oc cupied the back seat of the buggy. It was as dark as Erebus, and a Morm was brew ing. The two on the back seat grew quite loving, and, taking advantage of the night, began to make love to each other. Thoso on the front seat heard occasional smacks, and though they did their best to ascertain the cause failed because of the darkness. At length, the thunder began to roil, and the heavens became illuminated with lightning, and the frtorra was imminent. The driver urged his team to their utmost stiecd, forgetting the back seat and its oc cupants entirely. At length, seeing that the storm was not likely to burst upon them as soon as expected, the driver put one eye upou the horse and the other upon his friend, the widower. All at once there came a vivid flash of lightning, and casting his eyes over his shoulder lie saw the widow's head pillow ed on her companion's breast, whil both his arms enchctvd her neck in a close em brace. To make it still mre binding, the female oceupants of the front peat saw the. predicament of their neighbors, and, as is usually the case, were greatly shocked ', thereat. To prevent scandal, the afore 1 mentioned male has secured a license, am! I to-morrow a duly authorized person will I make the two one flesh. What- the light i ning has joined together let no man put asunder. Qriha Li?atcht Au.gust SUA riXG A MILLIOXA I UK. j leges of this estamishmen a!:d it is not. t.
