THE WtTOF THE 1IA1JI.
I heard an old farmer talk one day,
.Telling his listeners how
In the new wide eonntry far away
The rainfall follows the plow.
As fat as they break it up, you see,
And turn the heart to the sun.
As they open thp furrows deep and free,
And the tillage Is betjun.
The earth crows mellow, and more and more
It holds and sends .o the hky
A. tnoiittire il never h.id before,
When its face was t.ard and dry.
And so. wherever the plowshares run
l'h cloud runs oveihead.
And thp oil thnt wurks and It ts In the snh
Willi water is always fed. I
I I wonder if that old farmer knew
The half of h's simple word,
Or Kiies-.ed the message that, heavpn'y true,
Within it was hidden and heard ?
It fell on my ear by chance that day.
Cut the uladness linueis now.
To think it is always G'iri's dear way
That the rainfall follows the plow.

BY PF.NSIE.
At 10 years of aoe llebecca Sluart was an :
orphan, her parents dying left their only 1
child penniless and dependent upon the !
charity of the Rood people of Strowbridje. I
She was not a pretty child, but wore an ex- j
pression of great intelligence, and few pa;:s-
ed her by unnoticed. At Ihi village school j
I she made cormyendable progress in . Iter i
! studies, besides bore the palm of popularity
Mrp. Rood desired a little girKo do chores
'
; and etrands, so she gave Rebecca a home.
The Rot.ds were the wealthiest family in !
' Strowbridge village. Besides the large dry i
goods store, Mr. Rood owned half a dozen j
tenement houses which brought him good !
' re-its. At first it seemed strange, but after
a while Rebecca became reconciled to her i
1 new home, and was happy.
i Sometimes, however, -alien alone at night
i she could not htdp thinking; of her parents,
: now in the cold ground, and of her home
' which, though humble, was mor, to her than ;
! any other ever would be ; and then hei heart '
: felt as though it would break, and she in
; dulged in copious tears. Her depressed j
! spirits became thereby, relieved, and sbp !
. arose tbe. next morning feeling much better, j
j Lottie Rood, Mrs. Rood's eldest daughter, J
was a beautiful child, besidpo " ut; una ;
; w. .i.uiaiij nice, as candy, or fruit, i
she would always share with the poor or- j
! Than- Rebecca was sent to school. At I
; Strowbridge there was butoneschool which '
I a" cni.uren oi me village attended. Mrs.
Rood discouraged the growing; intimacy be
tween hr daughter and Rebecca, but child
ren do not care for diffeience of caste, so
they played much together at school.
Ma, mayn't I go with Rebecca this even
ing to bring home the cows? Lottie asked.
No, Lottie. I wish you to practice yo-jr
music, lesson. You must give up going with
Rebecca for the cows ; do you know there
are poisonous snakes in the old meadows
replied Mrs. Rood.
Then they will bite Rebecca, but we have
never seen at.v of them. O. it is so nice to
walk out in the meadows, and I want to pick
some flowrs. Mamma, I will gctupeaily
to-morrow morninij and practice if you will
only let me go this time,' and Lottie put ber
arms around ber mother's neck.
ell, you must give up teasing me as you
do,
ou may go. out rememrw-r it io
last time.'
- . ' . I . JO I.1JI3
If you have ever been in the meadow in
th late Spring, you know how delightful it
is, Iresh. joyous nature all around you.
K-ion a targe oouquet of wild flowers

Lottie had given Rebecca two nice nrsni.
that day. one of which she ate. but th e other

cotot Granny Rawley, Rebecca entered. Of
an eccentric old ladies, peihapa the greatest
was Granny Rawley.

A fine slip o' a lass, Miss replied Gran

added by way of compliment, casting s.de
wise glances at Lottie, and showing ber
snags of teeth. .
, O, these clothes are not very fine, Gran

I've had a sore foot, so Sam bad to fetes

Ooing up to her. Granny whispered : 'Re

I don't much care for tbe children of them
upper-tens. Come when ye're alone, an' I
can chat wi' y. an' ye can scratch a bit o' a
letter to my girl, Caroline.
'All right. Grannr.' laughed Tau.n
slipping ber remaining orange quietly Into
ber band, 'I'll come when I can.'
The girls continued their homeward walk
at a very alow pace, stopping occasionally to
pick some violets, or watch the little grev
squirrel spring nimbly from branch in
branch. Their conversation was carried on
In patchwork style a word or two here and
there. Upon reaching the spring thev rest
ed on the grass.
Presently Lottie discovered a human form
crouching be'-ind a tree. S!,e quietly told
Rebecca, ad '.inn: ' 1 1)-;i. v -. it 5s the , old

and hearing ua mlkitiu'. tried to hide, feaiiuj

' Rebecca, I just believe she has been i.enr
us all the way hearing every word we suiri.
Papa says she is queer. I am sure that o'd
limp sun bonnet she wears, and blue flannel
jacket and purple dress give her an odd ap
pearance." '
(irauny Raw ley was a wonder tc many.
Some supposed her well off ; others, poor.
She had a husband, but no one knew why
he left her or orrtnything of his whereabouts.
She lived alone, and was frequently een at
night dragging home wood. Almost the
only person she seemed to have any attach
ment for was. Rebecca Stuart, whom she
flattered and coaxi d until the girl felt she
must not neglect her usual visits to (iranny
Rawley.
Rebecca, though but a child, felt a warm
sympathy for her isolated and cheerie.-s life ;
her own heait bad its sorrow, and it went
out In an ovetiluw of kint'.lintss toward the
distressed.
As time wore on the two youug girls grew
foiioer of each other, though the barrier
which wealth places before poverty ftpemod
growing higher ench succeeding day. Lottie
had a music teacher and practiced upon an
elegant piano-forte, she had also a master
in drawing: and painting, besides was not
permitted to do the least work that her hands
might be fair aud well shaped.
Poor Rebecca used to creep under the
window and listen to Lottie taking I'ff mu
sic lessons How she wished she. too, niljjtit
learn to play eveu a little. She was exceed
ingly fond of Lottie's painting and drawing,
and a few times Lottie took her out tinder I
tbe great oak tree, and gave her instruction
in stetchitig a picture. Rebecca lu a short I
time was the fortunate possessor of quite a !
collection of crude attempts of her own. !
Mrs. Rood did not consider that she treat
ed Rebecca unkindly. She required li:r to
work, at odd times for her board and cl.- i
thing, besides she permitted her to attend
the village school, but took no care to in- i
struct her in those precopti which are essen- j
tial to the formation of true character ; nor j
did she ever try to win tlie child's love, or
to stiiooth the rough places in her young life,
and the poor orphan felt shutout from the ;
warm mother sympathy ; so she naturally ,
turned to one poor and forlorn to poot j
Granny Rowley for comfort. Grar.r.y Raw
ley praised her drawirgs, and to'i her to
conti-ue. that some day she might become a
great artist. Quite elated by the praise
and allunngs of success, He op tea redoubled
her zeal.
One evening Rebecca went as usual for

ing t;ome alone. After waiting iu vain ror
her return, the neighborhood turned out
and diligently searched the hills and hollows.
1 Perhaps she has been taken il! and !s at
Granny Rawlej's,' some one said.
A party started immediately to Granny
Raw ley's cot, but it was dark. No answer !
to their repeated knocking, so without more J
ado tin y opened the door ar.d entered, .'he j
house was deseited. What could it mean ? j
Had there been foul play? The closest i
search could not discover tha least elue to 1
their whereabouts. Dars lengthened into ;
weeks, and weeks into mouths, but the rnys- .
tery remained unsolved.
IioUie grieved deeply over the loss of her !
poor little friend. j
Well, to tell yon how -Isubr." 'I guess
m.iKfrfiif as well it should be thus. Lottie
was so attached to Rebecca, and any ureat
intimacy between them would be quite im
proper a few years hence owinc to the dlf-
feience In their
statiou. I hone nothing
dreadful has happened to her.'
' Poor child ! I do not believe she willingly
strayed off.' said the lady.
'If not we shall bear from her the first
opportunity she gets of sending us a line.'
Did she take her clothes with her ?'
No, nothing. Even her cherished draw
ings remain undisturbed in her box. It In
the strangest thing. I am sure if she felt
dissatisfied ani wished her dismissal, she
should have had it had she mentioned It to
me,' said Mrs. Rood.
Poor child I Igr.orant of the world's wick
edness, and trusting all who appeared kind
to her; susceptible of Influence; untaught
in her moral duty towards herseir and others,
she grew up roach as plants do. Mrs. Rood
meant well toward Rebecca, but like many
others, she was too much occunle.l with hor
j worldly vanity to perform her obligation to
trie chiia tn her care.
Granny Rawley bound Rebecca tosectecy,
and then told her she was nothing but a
slave for the ptoud Roods, who would com
pel her to work for them always and pay
her nothing ; that she was too pretty for the
kitchen ; that her tal ent W&0 Rlirr that- aha
couia De the finest lady in tbe laud. She in
sisted that Mrs. Rood did not love her, and
urged her to leave her home and she would
take her to a beautiful city where herdaugh
ter Caroline lived, and please the girl's
fancy mentioning the different pleasures
they would together enjoy. She did not
commit herself suddenly, but by degrees ex
tended her powers over the child. The mys
terious Granny Rawley was a very wicked
woman, but she was so artfnl that Rebecca
was deceived as to her true character; nor
did she perceive herself drawn into a snare.
She was very much troubled, but was afraid
to speak of her fears, though she believed
she ought to tell Mrs. Rood and ask ber if it
was true.
Mrs. Rood had never encouraged Rebecca
to coiifide in ber but in this case it was dif
ferent. Finally she concluded that the first
time see had a chance to speak to Mrs. Rood
privately she would tell ber what Granny
Rawley said.
As Rebecca passed her cot with the cows.
Granny was at the door waiting for ber, and
in tne road stood a carriage.
Ah ! cnit, don't often get a ride in so fine
a turnout as that there. Te cows will eo
long wi' out ye. Git in and take a hit n' a
ride, and I'll take ye home'.
Rebecca felt deiighted at the thoughts of
a ride seated among the sort, pretty cushions.
It was hardly In child nature to refuse, so,
trusting to the cow's going borne, she ac
cepted the invitation.
They bad a delightful ride, the horses
were spirited and carried them along rapidly.
How all the trees seemed to be going too ! A
few rods brought thera to a road which
branched from the highway aud lead through
the country ; a road lonely and unfrequent
ed which was used only by a few farmers.
' We'll take a bit o' turn down tbe lane,
an' ye'll see l,ow mannerly them horses wi i

The child's plaintive story touched the la

Dr. Murry accompanied them to the dark, j

j ture. she entertained her with a brief ac
count of her life.
My situation wheji a child was deplora
ble. I was decoyed from my adopted home,
(for at 10 years of age I was lert a penniless
orphan,) by a most cruel, wicked woman,
who tried to estrange me from my best
friends by Inventing horrible falsehoods.
She enticed me to visit her, but it was done
only to destroy me. I was kidnaped and
taken to New York where I endurpd every
kind of cruelty and hardships. 1 was sent
to beg, to steal, to sweep streets, and pick
rags, and was severely beaten if I failed to
perform all required of roe. My associates
were children well schooled in deception and
wickedness. Many a time I have cried my
self sick, and have often been forced to beg
for food. All that inspired me with horror
and shame, as I knew it was wrong, and
gladly would I have sought my friends, but
knew not how to find them. At last I re
solved to leave my persecutors, and walked
a great distance away, sleeping tbe first
night in a woodshed ; the second on a porch,
for it was warm weather.
On the third day I was far into the sub
urbs, and being fatigued, I sat down under
a tree near a ptetty white frame house.
Thinking over my trouble. 1 began to cry.
How long I bad been there I do not koow
for 1 had fallen asleep. 1 was awakened by
some one standing over me. and looked up
into the kindest face 1 ever saw. O, it was
so soothing once more to receive a kind
word.
'Such was my experience the first time 1
saw your lace and heard your voice,' said
Mrs. Barton.
The lady smiled and continued : 'God
raised up a friend for me lo that good man
who took me to his home, and upon hearing
my story shed tears. Tie adopted me as his
own daughter, giving me the nam-, Mary

treated and placed at one of the best schools.

How Col. Ellicott Killed a Tnrkey and
Saved His Life.
A Colombia county Pa., letter says there
is in possession of the decendants of Colonel
Andrew Ellicott, of this eonnty, a wampum
belt of rare beauty and value, which is pr3
servea as a memento of the shrewdness and
skill of the great surveyor, by which he not
only became the possessor ot the belt, but
saved his life and the lives or many o'hers.
Directly after the purchase of Louisiana
from the French Governmect, Col. Eliicott
was sent by the United States Government
to survey the boundary line between the new
territory and Mexico, which then included
Texas. He was accompanied by a large
corps or- engineers and 100 Government
troops. They had penetrated Into the inte

that ir the interpreter's master would kill a

not a good rifle 6bot, but he was able to do
many e'ever things in shooting by means of
mechanical tricks. When tbe decision of
tbe chiefs was given they procured the wild
turkey and told Col. Ellicott to exhibit his
power. Confident of his success he drove a
stake in the ground a few feet beyond the
trunk of the tree with an axe. Tving the
turkey firmly to tbe state so it could not

oblique direction to one side of the tree and

sylvanians. Gov. Curtin came to Washing

prisoners. The Governor stood aghast at
the brutal reply which Stanton made to bis

Said the war minister: "Do you
