Ia Ibeso C 'gitatioas the morning
passed, aad noon found Dencon Fbu1
oix at a little hotel in Coesier. Im
patiently of delay, after a baaty din
ner be aet oat almost immediate! v for
the Wayne homeaiead. Arrived ar.
the gate, be spied Mita Olive at the
window, aud alighted with a youth
ful Hgility not altogether prudent in
a man who had twinges of sciatica,
and yet atrange inconsistency of
human nature! be dallied at the
bitching post, and afterward, with
bis band on the very k locker, he
pauaed to ficaa the distant borir o,
as though be bad come maioly for a
view of tbe mountain. Mina Olive
opened the door, her cheek flushed
like late October peaches. Sbe would
not have been a woman had fcbe not
divined the Deacon's lender mission,
proclaimed by every detail of bis im
maculate toilet, by the grasp of his
band, by his nervous, expectant air.
And moreover, Miss Olive was an
attractive woman, not unversed in
lovers' ways.
"Happy to see you, Mr. Pha-aix.
Walk in," paid she, Hurriedly, usher
ing bim into tbe eilting-room, where
ber aged father dozed ia bis arm
chair.
"Who id it, Olive?" said the o'.d
gentleman, waking with a bewildered
etare.
"Mr. rhu-nix, father. You re
member Mr. rba-o.it, I'm eure.
"I don't know as I do," said he
querulously, fumbling with the guest's
ontstretcned hand.
"Wbat'a be come f -r, Olive ?"
Tbe deacon looked as if be was
suddenly feeling tbe hot water; Miss
Olive was positively feverish, but sbe
deftly evaded tbe troublesome ques
tion ov diverting cer lather b atten
tion. His peppermint tea was ready
would be not drink it ? As sbe
kovered about the invalid, straighten
ing his foot stool, arranging bis pil
lows, steadying tbe cup while be
drank, Mr. rbu-aix regarded he ad
miringly, llow young she seemed
ptill! ot a grey thread in ber got
dea hair; scarcely a wrinkle ia ber
face. This was because . of ber ex
collent disposition. He waited till
tbe had soothed the old man int
slumber, thea ia a direct, manly war
introduced the subject hat lav next
to his heart
Miss Olive interrupted him bv
an eloquent glance toward her dear
father.
"He is very childit-h and depend
ent He cannot do without me."
"Let mo help you care for bim,
Olive; my house is large, and my
aucans are ample.'.
"I couldn't, Mr. Pho-aix it is like
you to propose such a thing; but
I couldn't have bim a burden upon
yon."
"Why bless your soul, Olive, do
yon suppose I should consider a friend
of your u a burden ?"
"Von don't know how trying poor
tatner wonia ue to anybody but bis
own aangnter, ana I think he i like
ly to live to a great age, aa grand
father aia."
"For that very rea3on, then "
"Besides, it would make me wretch
od to take btm from the eld home
stead "
"lint, Olive "
"So you see I'm engaged, Mr Pfcuv
uix," said Miss Olive, playfullr, while
she whif-ked away a tear. "I'm en
gaged. ou must marry some ladv
who isn't. And I hope you'll be as
bappy as yoo deserve to be," sbe ad
ded, witb a little tremor, springii
op to adjust the curtain.
In vain be tried ta bend her to bis
wishes ; she remained outwardly as
urm as tne oeann-stone at ber feet
till at length be arrived at the un
welcome conviction that she had no
liking for bim, or sbe would have
listened to bis pleadings. She had
interposed tbe old gen'leman merely
m son oicusnioo to boiten tne blow
ct ber rejection.
If be took a smiling leave, it waa
because pride tugged at bis facial

betore ho knew it Deacon Fbaaix
bad pledged himself to escort tie

When, after gallantly depositing
bis promising bride at ber own door,
and bo vvas alone witb his thoughts.
be felt a little surprised at bis own
precipitancy; but be told bimselt
over aod over again what a fortunate
man be was, how bappy be ought to
be.
Contrary to his usual custom, be
had acted from impulse, and tbe re
sult was highly satisfactory. "High
ly Fatisfactury," he repeated to him
self as be nassed the entrance of the
cross road which led to Miss Olive's
Somehow his reflections were less
cheerful after that. Perhaps the
chilly rain storm just eettiug in de
pressed bim, or perhaps it wa9 the
empty hearse that he met face to face
for tbe best of us have onr super-
stitions.
Certain it is, that as be alighted
from his buggy that evening with
weariness of limb aod limpness of lin
en, his countenance led Mrs. Dubbs
to fear tbe meeting had not been pro
fitable.
Next morning, thanks to the un
gracious weather, be was aronsed by
sciatic tortures. To an elderly gen
tleman, newly betrothed to a bloom
ing lady greatly bis junior, such an
awakening was peculiarly trying. He
thought ruefully of tbe early visit be
bad promised Mrs. Vance. Should
these pains increase, he must defer it
indefinitely, or limp into ber presence
oa crutches an alternative too sug
gestive of advancing age Flattered
as he was by tbe widow's acceptance,
be could not deny that it placed bim
in a position ia some respects irksome.
it admonished mm tnat be bad no
further right to inGrmities; that hence.
forth it was his bounden duty to be
as yonng as he could. The reflection
wearied him : the clutching pain
wearied bim Mrs. Dubbs afterwards
said she had never seen bim so near
ont of sorts as on that evening when
she took in bis mail.
Among the letters waa ono that
canght his eye at once :
"Dea a Feiexd" (it ran). - My
poor tired utner is at rest, lie was
seized with paralysis the morning af
ter you left ns, and passed away pa'n-
lesny in a few hours. How little I
anticipated this event when we talk
ed together. My bands were full
thea ; now tbey are empty. My work
here is done, it too still believe I
could make happy tbe kind friend
who has always been our benefactor,
1 should bo glad to see you.
Yours, sincerely,
Olive Watxe."
Mr. Pho-air read this missive, re
read it, shut it into tbe Book of Job
safe from prying Mrs. Dubbs, and
drnmmed uneasily on tbe Bible
What a predicament! Must he thrust
back npou Olive this gift for which
be so latelv sued ? Must be tbns
humble ber ? He writhed at tbe
thought Most be thus bnmble him
self? Better than all, most be relin
quish this tried friend tor a lifetime ?
Having reached life's autumn, must
be reject its mature and appropriate
fruits for the rhubarb and greens of
springtime? Alas! yes; he must
fulfill bis engagement, for was he not
tn "honorable man ?" be would write
at once to Olire a candid statement
of the case.
Bat w hile be idled at bia desk on
the morrow Mr. Torrey came to ask
the loan of a horse till bis should be
in running order, and the deacon
laid down his pen with a ugh of ra
lief.
Feeling that be oueht to tell bis
brother-in-law of bis contemplated
marriage, he led tbe conversation
back to tbe Conference and Mrs
Vance.
Rc.tV..rftv I mrt the widow
J f

remarked Mr. Torrey, casually. "You
remember bim tbe brother next to
Charles? He bag just come home
from California, with bia pockets
full."
"Ab?"
"Yes. Shouldn't wonder i' be took
the widow. Somo say they're en
gaged already."
Ol course the deacon knew better
than that; nevertheless, he delayed
bis tender confession. And be did
not write the letter. Time enough
for that after be had paid Mrs. Vance
ibe promised visit. Tbe latter lady
had certainly the first claim upon bis
attentions.
Uufortuaa elv sereral days of tor
menting pat. ensurd, duricg wbieb
tbe deacon's atience waa put to a

able lo seek the iject f bis hty

"So bappv to see yoo, Deacon

"Get Ibe best auJ. nsrer keep a

can affjrd to keep a c w that will
not make from 200 to 220 pounds i f
butter or its equivalent in cheese eve
ry year. Ijastiy, maKe the yery pest
article and get tbe top ol tne market.
This is dairy economy according to
my experience."
Tbe above paragraph furnishes a
good text for some timely bints aod
suggestions. "Get the best" is not
only applicable vo cows, but to other
domestic animals and various tbings
appertaining to the farm, including
seeds, plants, shrubs, Irait trecj, tools.
implements, fences, building, Vc.
The farmer should always aim to
procure and produce the best of every
thing ia bis line. He should "breed
from the best" in all cases, whether
cattle, horses, sheep, swine or poul
try j for though tbe expense of the
service of a superior s;re may be a
trifle more than that of a common
one, the resultant profit wiil be far
greater. It costs little, if any, more
to raise a blooded or improved colt
or calf to a given age than it does to
rear an ordinary one, whereas the
former will usually sell for twice or
thrice tbe amount tbe latter will
bring. And w hy more farmers do
not reaiiZ9 tbis tact is pas, my C m.
prehension. Whatever the caue of
this neglect of an important branch
of farm production and profit, we
trust every reader of the Ob.icrier
interested will examine into the mat
ter, cipher our the deference in favor
of breeding from the best, and be
governed accordingly during the ea
suing season-
And the same axim, "Get the
best" should also be regarded io sc.
leering 6eeds, plants and trees for tbe
farm, (tardea and orchard. It is as
tonishing how great a proportion of
cultivators neglect a matter so essen
tial, upon proper attention to which
the quality, quantity, and consequent
profit of a crop, frequently depend.
A change of seed, and especially
when a superior variety cia be s
easily obtained, is often of great
benefit not only ia increasing the
yield, but producing a far more mar
ketable article. In the selection of
plants, shrub!1, and ornamental tree?,
tbe aim sbonld likewise be to pro
cure the best obtainable from trust
worthy sources. Tbe extra cost
will be more than repaid not only in
dollars and cents, but enchanced
pleasurs and satisfaction derived
from producing what is of superior
quality the best for either market
or borne consumption.
As a rule, it is good economy and
evidence of wisdom to secure the
most approved and improvrd tools,
implements and machines for use in
the various operations of cultivating,
seeding, harvesting, &c. Poor tools
make slovenly workmen and bad
work, and often cause dolays and
damage, in this way "costing more
than tbey come to," or than the ex
pense of first class articles. No farm
er can afford to lose time amid tbe
busy work of spring or summer by
tbe giving out or breaking of impor
tant implements and machines ; hence
be should guard against such contin
gencies by procuring the most ser
viceable articles and keeping them
in good order, ready for use when
ever wanted. The fences, gates,
sheds, and other farm structures,
ougbt always to be good, if not the
best, and built with a view to dura
bility and permanence. In brief,
and finally, it is always tne safest,
and generally true economy, for tbe
farmer to have the best of every
thing; to breed from tbe best stock,
grow the best crops from tbe purest
seed of the best varieties, procure
tbe best implements, and provide the
best fences and other appurtenances.

In ins, while the American army
was encamped at Tappan, on tbe
Hudson, General Lafayette bad com

Jonathan Xiles waa one of Lafay

the ffe. Ua waa a son of C .nnecticnt,
and be bad a maimed aud disabled
brother ho was a cunning artificer,
and who, among other quaint things,
had made the fife on which Jonathan
played.
It was so constructed that it could
be blown to the shrill and ear-piercing
notes that belong witb tbe drum,
or it could be so softly and sweetly
Ireathed upon aa to give forth notes
like the treutle dulcimer.
One evening Jonathan wandered
down to the water's edge, and seated
upon a reck, gazed upon the darkly
fljwing, fetar-gemmed flood.
His thoughts wire of bis home
end vf ibe loved ones there; and anon
came memories ct ibe ;ld aoLga tbat
bad been wnt to gladd?u tne fire'

UiiConsciuusly he drew bis flute
from his bosom and placed it to bis
lip. Io bia miud, at tbat tnomeu;,
a as a sweet song, adopted fro.n Mo
zart, which had been bia mother's fa
Vorite.
He knew not a hat be did. To bim
all ibiugs of the prasent were shutout,
and be was again at borne, siiuug at
Lis mother's feet ; aud the cbarin
wan uot brukeu until a rough blow
upon the bick recalled him to bin

"Mao, what are you doing? Tbe
general may be a eke. If be should

It was a seuiiuel; and even thi
guaid'aa of tbe night afterward
confessed that he bati listened, en
tranced, to it.e ravishing music for a
long lime before be thuugbtit bis duty
to ft' p it.
Oj the following morningan order
ly came t the p t where Jonathan
tad been eatiug bia breakfast, and in
fo! med bim thai tbe general wanted
to see him at beadqutrters.
Poor J nathaa turned pale and
trembled. He kiew ibai Lnfavede

As be arose to his feet, the seutiuel

Jonathan Ijiked at tbe man pity

'What I Mv mother's son tell a

I ever mean to carry, if I have my

He thea went to tbe geaeral's
quarters, a tent piiohed io a com

Lfyete was paciog to aud fro,sad
aud in tody, as though his thoughts
were unhappy.
"Comrade, who are you ?"
"Jonathan Niles, general "
"Last eveuSag 1 beard music down

"It was I, general; but I knew cot
what I did. 1 meant not to disobey

The general started at tbe sound of
tbat word, aod tbe shadow upon his
face grew Soft and ethereal.
"Of yocr mother ? And I thought
of mine. It was a theme of Mczirt's,
arid was my mother's favorite. If

instrument, and play for ras that
Strain here in coy tent. It will do
me good."
Ia the after yeirs evea to bis dy

Though be would never urge the
truth upon any man io consideration
of s j mean a thing as the beneGt that

and most blessed memory of all bis

II In tor? of '-larle Tom."
A new edition of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" is just ready. It is a repro
duction of tbe illustrated ediiion of
the holidays, rendered necessary by
the wearing cut of the orioiual plates.
Some notion of tbe durability of book
plates may be bad from tbe statement
that no fewer thau 350 000 copies of
"Uocle Tom" were printed from
these plates.
The new ediiion contains, among
other editions, letters addressed to the
aatbor by eminent people when the
bock first appeared. Charles Dickens
said he had read it "with ibe deepest
interest and symnatby," and added
that he admired "more than I can ex
press to you, both the generous feel
ing which inspired it, and the admir
able power with which it ia execut
ed." Lord Carlisle wrote that be return
ed his "deep and solemn thanks to
Almighty God who baa led acd ena
bled you to write Fuch a bjok." He
added that he bad loug felt slavery
to be by far the paramount "question
of the world and age we live in, in
cluding all that is most thrilling in
heroism and most toucbiog in dis
tress in thort, tbe real Epic of the
Universe."
"Uncle Tom" was first published
on March 20, 1S.12 twenty-seven
years ago. There are 35 English
editions of it in the British Museum,
and 8 abridgments. ' It baa been
translated into 20 languages. In
French there are 13 distinct versions;
in German 9 ; in Russian 5. Sixty
three distinct translations have been
made in ell. There are three dramas
in French and four abridgments in
German. Thirty-one reaiews of it

The pulpit is a sacred place. It is
the audience chamber ot Jehovah, in
to which the preacher and man of
God enters to bear solemn messages,
and make supplications for the peo
ple, and offer prai.-e and thanksgiving.
There be stands, between tbe living
and tbe dead io sin.
There is no place on earth where
human feet stand so burdened with
fearful responsibilities to God aod to
man, as the pulpit of salvation. "Pot
off thy shoes from thy feet," said
God to Moses in the presence of the
burning busb, "for the place wbereoo !
tbou standest is holy ground." j
"Keep thy foot when thou goest to
the house of Gcd," said Solomon.
Invisible angels stand around every
pnlpit, and tbe Son of God ia there
looking on, and sees and hears. J.o
monarch of earth admits bia subject
to bis throne-room so heedlessly aa
many enter tbe pnlpit tbe throne
room of God. II any pastors and
preachers enter tha pulpit and rever
ently bend tbe knee ia silent prayer.
Others enter tbe pnlpit as if in baste,

THE BETTER 6IDE OF SEW TORK
While tbe tenement bouse tells tbe
story ot tbe Dives and Lazarus of the
nineteenth ceritory, let it not be sup
posed that only Dives inhabit yon
der brown-stone row. Neither should
you iufer from our gambling dans,
brutal walkioir matches, drinking
hides, and fl.uuucg "si-cial evil,"
tbat New Yoik is a nu deru S d-. or
Ttaok btttvtn, this ia but the heath, n
aide of w hat 1 called in an earlier
letter lh- "most Christian and in'st
heathen citv west of the Atlantic
Ocean."
Tlii rich centuriou, and Dorcas,
and Cornelius, all live jut across
Fifth Avenue from Dires, but all tbe
synagogue, tbey fcave built, all the
poor pe 'pin clad, and all the aim
bestowed by them have uiade less
uine io ibtt warld than the bliud
heggar, full f "ores, lying a'
Dives' gate ! Fair play, gentlemen

I don't know bow n.auv missiota

know n W niary are at w-r in tie
slums, and am.ng xe Araos of ibis
city. Before you read further.-jost
stop aur1 guett bow many there are.
I asked a bar! workiug Presbyterian

Tbis money supports, besides, 10

TEMI'EBANCE work
The 8,000 dtiuking bolea which the
genius of Chancellor Crosby has been
rapidly transforming into "hotels,"
are not baviag i; all their own way
either. Last Sunday's Herald con
tained advertisements of fceveu tern-
perauce meetings that day, and this
was but a fraction. Ibe City Alia
siona alone conduce 220 stated tern
perance meetings a year; Professor
Evans is speakTa? to crowded bouses
every night; Sawyer is working won
ders of reformation and filling tbe
Park Theatre to overflow i ir every
Sunday nigkt, and 13 lodges t,f U d
Templars aid 13 divisions of Soiio of
Temperanct are working more quiet
ly, but doing a precious work never
theless. SEVEN YEARS OF REVIVAL.
Ten years ago Jerry McAnley,
prize fighter, thief, ex-convict, was
picked up by a city missionary on
Water street and became a changed
man. He could not rest with at', the
wickedness about him, and after a
few years patient laboring a mission
was bailt tor him ia the worst part of
that awful street. Here fur seven
years Jerry has preached and exhort
ed, and his wife (taken from the gut
ter also) has presided at the organ,
while thieves, drankards aad aban
doned characters by the hundred have
been led to a new life. Tbe revival
has known no break all these years,
and though Jerry is now sick with
pneumonia, and has the seeds of
consumption actively at woik with
in him, the great work goes grandly
on.
Besides tbis, there is a plain, dingy
old Mariner's Church down near the
Brooklyn Bridge, where a constant
revival has been in progress over
three years. A grey haired old man,
with loving-kindtiess written all over
his sweet old face, simply tells the
"old, old story" to a crowd of weather-beaten
sailors, street roughs in
their shirt sleeves, acd Chinamen
not a few, and in these three years
over fifteen hundred of these men
have applied for church membership.
What wouldn'tsome of your churches
give for an outpouring so. great aa
tbat.
