"Of all thins, this is the word !
If I ever, in all my life; expected to
hear such news! Deacon, what do

Good Mrs. Clements pnslitd her
steel bowed spectacles off her bright
eyes, and dropped- the letter in her
lap, ae, she turned around to her hus

She sat in the bright little parlor,
close beside the lace-curtained win
dow, waiting for the loved husband's
return; and then, when she heard
the click of the latch-key in the hall,
flew for the welciming kiss.
"Haven't you the letter this time;
George? I've felt so sure of it all
day. Indeed, rye quite decided what
diesses to take with me."
He smiled as he shook kis head.
. A cloud - suddenly came over her
pretty face.
" Oh, George, isn't it too bad ?
And I do lx,lieve—oh, I do believe
they won't write because they are
sorry you married me."
He put his arm around her neck.
" And supposhe , such should be
the e.ase, do you think it would make
any difference to me ?"
" Oh, no, no ! only it would grieve '
me so if I knew I had alienated your
"own parents-from you." _ . ... _
" - And a one-sided alienation it
would be, too! They have never
seen you ; how could they dislike
.you? Anil 'when' they know von they
can't help loving you." - _
" Oh, George!" t'
lAnd the exclamation was caused
by the kiss accompanying the loving
flattery. .
-' "That's true - as preaching. By the

the firm sent me oft' on a traveling

" You wouldn't stay here - all alone,

" - What need lwe care for •money ?
I'd rather haVe you."
A ruischinvons smile played on the
young man's lips; he was more mat
ter of fact than this romantic, tender
little wife of his.
" I think the - accession to our
ba
lance at the banker's. would be very
consoling for the absence. Bat never

laughed gleefully overthe enVelopet.

Ho dried her tears, and then they
tallied it. over.

" We will invite them down when
I come home. By the way, Marion,
I will stop at the farm on my way
home, and bring them back."
" George, dear, I \ haie been' think-,

Dihrion was eating her egg, while
she ~spoke across the cozy little tete-a

" Spoken like my true little Mari
on; and when I come back, I'll bring
you a present. What shall it be?" ,
" Your mother and father from the
farm. -ILshall be that hope that will
bear me company While you're gone."
A fortnight after that, Marion
Clements ate her breaklastralone, the
traces of a tear or so on her pink
cheeks; then she daßheil them away,
with r merry, joyous little laugh.
" This will never do ! and now that
George has gone for sik weeks, to
prepare for his return. And I pray
heaven it may, be such a coming
home as shall delight his very soul."
" I'm sure I don't know what to

you'll try me for only a week, I'm
sure you'll keep me. till the season's
over."
Clements looked out of the
window tit the,gray clouds that were'
piling gloomily Alp; and then the
wind gave a great wailing shriek
around the corners of the house.
" You can't cook, ken you'? or
shake np feather beds— good big
ones, forty pounders?'
A gleeful little laugh come up from
Mary's lips. -
"Indeed I can I may 'not cook to
suit you, but I can learn."
'Mrs. Clements walked out to the
huge open fireplace in the kitchen,
where the Deacon was shelling corn.'
" What (rye say, Deacon? Keep
her, or not? I kind o' like her looks,
and the dear knows it 'ud be a good

"Take: her, Of course, Banner.

So Mrs. Cements came slowly
back and sat down again. •
"Yuri can't git away to-night- any

Then followed directions to the
west garret, and when she had gone
Mrs. Clemente turned to the Deacon.
"I never seen a girl before I'd
trust up my stairs alone. Buisrelich
as her don't steal; I kin tell you that,
if nothing elSe.",
Directly she came down in her
neat purple print dress and big white
apron; her hair brushed of her face
into a net; a narrow linen collar, fas

thick ribbon.
It seemed as if she had lived at the
farm house all her life, so handily
she flitted , in and out the big pantry,
into the buttery and then down into
the cellar.
Then after the meal she gathered
the dishes in, a neat silent way, that

'mead, my how; au , l I like' her turn,

And the deacon knew his wife had
taken a shine to Mary Smith. -
Ono by one the days wore ou,
" hog killing " was over and done;
long strings of sausages hung in fan
tastic rings, arranged by Mary's deft
fingers, sweet hams and shoulders
were piked away .in true house-wifely
order; and 'now Mary an&Mrs. Clem

room, darning, patching and' mend

"I don't know whatever I'm going
to do without von, Mary. I dread
to see you pack up your clothes."
A blush of pleasure ~.spread over
the girl's face.
"I nu so glad you have been: suit

"It ain't the work 'altogether,
though, goodness knows; you're the
smartest gal I've seen this many a

o'you—nie and the Deacon."
`Mary's lips trembled at the kind
ness in the old lady's voice, but she
sewed rapidly on.
"It's. been uncommon lonesome
like since the boy left the farm; but
it's worse yet since he got married:
It seems like desertin' usaltogether."
" Have you got a son ? Yon never

"ti o; : George has gone . his Way,
and we :must go ours. Yes; he is

But,- despite her scorn, Mrs. Plem

Then when the table in the next
room had been sot by Mary's deft fin

and she had retired - to her

her heart.
" - There's no , use tallzin' George.

George came through the door,
glanced carelessly at. the corner
Where the women stood. Then, with
a nry, sprang with out-stretched arms
to meet the little figure,that flew into
them.
"m 4 Marion ! ; darling' little
wife what does this mean ?"
The .Deaosn and Mrs. Clements
stood in speechless amazement. Then
Marien,all blushes and tearful smiles,
went over to the old pair and took
their handS,
" I am George's wife. I was afraid
you never would love me; so I came

And a happier family, when they
had exhausted their powers of sur

a supper table.
THE HORSES OF NEW YORK.
The New York eorresyihndent o
he Troy Mites furnishes the -follow
iug horse notes :
The entire value of :horseflesh own
ed here, including animals of toil,
cannot be less than two millions. The
showy trumonts in the Central Park
keep,up a. spirited competition, and
the Park has done much to keep up
the present rage for fine horses.
Every family that is ambitious of dis
tinction must make a show in the
(lashing array of equipages, and our
fast young men can hardly -pass a
half-hones chat without introducing
the feats of their " poniet." Charles
Astor Bristpd has said that twenty
years ago thaere were but three real
ly fine teams in the city, but at pres
ent you can count them up Until
the list becomes wearisome. Since
1850, the price (if not the mairtel of
fine horses has increased four-fohl . ,
or as a merchant would say 400 per
cent. In 1858, " Flora - Temple" was
sold, and such was the popularity of
the famous mare that she brought
what-was then considered the enor
mous sum of $000; but that looks
small now. Just seeho* the - figures
advance. In 1862, " California Dam
sel " brought $1.1,000... In 1864, Bon
ner astonished the world by paying
$13,500 for the Alibi= horse. But
his subsequent prices were of a still
more astonishing character. I„u 1866,
liepaid $25,000 for "Young Poca
hontas," and the next year he was
glad to become the owner of " Dex
ter," even at the round price of $33,-
000. Mr. Bonner had then over
$120,000 invested in - six animals,
whose uncertain value may be shown
by the fact that the Auburn horse
died after an illness of a few days,
while "Flora Temple " disabled
by an accident. The prices just men
tioned have no relation to precise
value. When rich men comp ete for
anything, whether it be for a book, a
picture, or a horse, the value okino
nay is not reckoned. Possession is
their object, and this must be obtain
ed at whatever price may be requir
ed. It does not make any difference
to Bonner how much-he pays for a
horse., He simply gives a plebe of
paper bearing some figures, signed
with his name, with the addition of
a cancelled revenue stamp. This isl
a very easy way to get a horse, and
whether the fignrea are large or small
is not of-the lightest importance, so
long as the animal be secured. In
deed, tho owner of `Dexter" made
a mistake in not' asking a higher
price. Commodore Vanderbilt was
oiesirons of making the same pur
chase, and the figures might .have
_ been $50,000 instead of $33,000. Well,
it would not have required any more
ink after all. From $33,000 to $lOO,-
000 may seem a largo step, and yet
the latter price is demanded for the
rft/310118 " Hambletonian," whose colts
are now among the best. trotters in
the county.

• OONOEUING,SLEEP.
There aro thonsuids Ortituly 'peo
ple who die every year for want of
sleep. It may be that too much sleep
injures some.; but in an, excitable
people there is far more mischief for
want of sleep than from too much of
it... Sleeplessness becomes a disease.
It is the precursor. of insanity. When
it does not reach that sad result, it
is still full of peril; as well as of .stif
fering. Thousands of in'cu have been
indebted for bad bargains, for lack I
of courage, for ineffectiveness, to loss
of, sleep.
It is curious that all 'the popular
poetical, representations of Sleeping
and waking arc the reverse of the
truth. We speak of sleep as the im
age of death, and of ear waking
hours a the image . of life. , But the
activity is the result of some form of
decomposition in the bbdy. Every
thought, still more 'every motion,
every volition wastes some' part of
_the nerlions substance; precisely as
flame inroduced by wasting the _fu-'
el. It is the death of some part of
the physical substance that produces
the phenomena of intelligent and vol
untary life. =
-On the other hand; 'sleep is not like
death; for it is the period in which
the waste of the system ceases, or is
reduced to its ninumum. Sleep re= r
pairs the wastes which waking hours'
have made. It rebuilds the . system..
The night *the repair-shop of the
body. Even' part of the system is
silently oUrhauled, and all the :or
gans, tissues and substances are re
plenished. Waking consumes, - sleep,
replaces,' waking exhausts, sleep re
pairs; waking is death, sleep is life.
The man who sleeps little, repairs
little; if he sleeps poorly, he repairs
pciorly. If ha uses up in a day less
than he accumulates at night he will
gain in health and yigor. If he uses
up all that he gains:at - night he will
just hold his own. If he uses, more
by day than he gathers at night he
will lose. And if this last procsss be_
long-continued, he must succumb: A
man who mould be a good werker
must see to it that he is a good sleep
er Human life is like a mill; some
times the stream is so copious that
oi'.e needs care bat, little about his
supply. Nov, often, the stream that
turns the mill needs to be economiz
ed. A dam is built to hold a larger
supply. The mill runs the pond
pretty low through the 'Vey, but by
shutting- down the gate, the night re
fills the pond, and the wheels go
merrily around again the next ddy.
Once in. a while, when spring rains
are copious and 'freshets overflow,
the mill may run night and day; but
this •is rare. ,Ordinarilf the mill
should run by day and the pond fill
up by night.
A. man has es much force in him as
he has provided for by sleep. ..The
quality of action, especially mental
activity; depends upon the quality of
sleep. If day-time is. the loom in
which men weave their purposes,
night is the time when the threads
are laid in ami the tilling prepared.
Men need on an average eig ht
hours of sleep a day, or one-third of
their whole time. S. man of 1,3-mphatr
is temperament may require nine. A
nervous temperament' may require
but seven, or six,rand instances have
been known in which four hours have
been enough. The reason is plain.
A - lymphatic man is 'sluggish in all
his functions. He moves — slowly ;
thinks . slowly, eats slowly, digests
slowly, and sleeps slowly, that is, all.
Alio restorative acts of his system go
on slowly, in analogy with his tem
perament. Bata nervous Than 'acts
quickly id everything,' by day or by
night. When aniake he does more
in an hour than a sluggish than. 'in
two hours; and so in his sleep.... He
sleets faster, and his system nimbly
repairs in six hours what it would
take another one eight hours to per
'orm. _
Every man must sleep according
to hiS temperament. But eight hours
is the average. If one requires alit:-
tie more or a little less, he will find
it oat for himsea Whoever by work,
pleasure, 'sorrow, or by any other
cause is. regularly diminishing his
- sleep, is destroying his life. A man
may hold out for a time, but Nature
keeps close accounts, andno - man can
dodge her settlements. We have
seen impoverished railroads that
could not keep the track in order,
nor spare the engines to be thorough
15' repaired. Every year track and
equipment deteriorated. • By-and-by
comes a crash, and the road is in a
heap. Of confusion and destruction.
So it is with men. They cannot spafe
timed.° sleep enough. Thy slowly
run behind. Symptoms of general
waste appear. Premature wrinkles,
weak oyes; depressiOn of spirits, fail
ure of digestion, feebleness in the
morning and overwhelming mdan
choly—these and other signs show a
general dilapidation. If x now, laud ,
den calamity causes an extraordina
ry pressure they go down under it.
They have no resources, to draw up
on. They have been living up to the
verge of their vitality every day.
There is a'great deal of iuteniper=
once besides that of tobacco, opium
orbrandy. Mon are dissipated who
over-tax their systems all day 'and

are dissipated by physical stimulants,

no more a drunkard and a suicide,
than the lawyer, the minister or. the
