The milk bad not been strained, and the flies were buzting on the edge of twe brimming pails, 6ipping and rubbing their heads together in a satisfied way. The baby was teething and croefi, and tbe one pair of hands that could have brought order out of disorder were trying to soothe it. Is it any wonder that tears aeie in the mother's eyes, as sbe cuddled her baby to her bosom, and walked across the floor, trying to still its cries ? "O, dear, what a life! wiiat a life ?" said sbe : "I try to be patient and make tbe best of it, but it does seem hard !" Just as tbe baby was growing qui et, and his hands bad fallen upon his bosom, a shadow fell across the door way and the husband entered say- "Seems to me you're a good while petting yonr chores done ; you bare not tbe knack of gelling along like Mrs. Leyondikeher work is done up long ago, and she's busy in tbe garden; does not look much like our'n, you don't put the time on it that she does on her'n." "Oh, John," said the little woman, slipping back her sleeves and trying on a big apron, and trying to keep her face turned away to hide the gathering tears, "with four little chil dren and baby eick, with three cows to milk and calves to feed and hands to cook for and all the other work to do, I only wonder that I get half my chores done in a whole day,' "Well, I'm sure I don't see how it is," said he, "my mother bad ten liv ing children, and she managed to get Along first-rate, and do all our weav ing, beside taking in weaving for tbe neighbors. Yon have more room than she had, and you don't have to carry water forty rods as sbe did here it is right at the foot of the hill ; and you never have to cut vour own wood, unless it is right in the midst of harvest, and I think you shouldn't complain. If there is anything I hate to bear it is a growling, whining wife. Now. I have to be out of doors all the time, no matter how hot the sun shines, or how cold the wind blows, while you are in the shade and com fortable if you only knew it Ah, you have an easy time of it, you wo men, if you only Enew it ; oon i you tnowr Tbe eirls will be big enough in three or fonr years to help you, and then tou can take times easier, and mavbe by that time tbe bottom farm will be Daid for. and we'l be able to ride in a carriage, like tbe Leyon dikes." "How long since you brought in this water 1" said he, as he took a drink from the tin dipper, and finding it not fresh, he squirted it out coolly upon the floor among some pans that had slipped down off a shelf. As he took the hatchet and started out to the har wagon to fix tbe hay rigging on it, he said : "Jane, if yon can, as well as not, e'posin yon have some of them new beans tbat grow in me iur lot xor am ner ?" "Well, I'll try," said ehe hopeless- First she strained the milk, saving one auart with which to mix the bread : she mixed it in the warm sun shine, and then started a fire and make feed of skim milk for tbe calves. Then she swept and picked up the playthings after tbe children, hung up their coats and aprons, and set their old shoes away, and moved their sleds and wairons from about tbe doors. While the dish water was heating ehe hurried op stairs and made tbe beds; then washed the dishes, went down in tbe cellar and skimmed the milk. There was cream eeough for churn ing; tbe churn was scalded and was then left with a pail of cold water standina: in it. so as to be ready. By this time the baby woke and cried, nd the tired another was compelled to sit down and take him in her ewel tering arms. In half an hour be was ready to sit down on the floor on a quilt, and she left him long enongh to carry throe cr four pails of skimmed milk to thej pigs two pailfolls at a time, and sbe; went on the run. She always fed the pigs; when sbe asked ber husband to carry the milk to tbe pen, on bis way out to bis work, he said : "Tbat belongs to a woman's work; a man whose name is np for commis sioner, ahoold not be asked to lop tbe pigi that's a little too steep." But before another year a change came. The strong hard man, ber hus band, was stricken down with ty phoid fever and for long weeks he lay balancing between life and death. Ilit recovery m very slow, and his confinement irksome ; no prison wails could be gloomier than were tbe home ' walla that held bim prisoner. Day after day the patter ' of his wife's patient feet fell upon his ear. He coold bear them np stairs and down, bow here, now there, ber voice alwaya kind and tender, ber band ev er ready to minister to ber dear ones, ber words full of consolation and love and cheer. John Jones was not wholly enim pressible; slot' v the scales fell from keep a Tirr rppE uir. his eyes, the light caraeraad be, was as one born into a higher and better life. t , lie drew hia bony hands across his eyes ; often the 6igbt' made him catch his breath suspiciously, and he marveled much tbat be bad walked beside this little woman for fourteen years and not known that he was mated with an angel unawares. " His voice grew softer, tenderer; his great talony hands touched ber fore- ; ceau am- uci uu j -- a woman's touched her as tbougb ! i. fr;l ah wnnld fade ewer into white mist. Weeks afterward, when be was able to ri do on t, tbe old whimsical buggy that Bad done service in the dava of his cburcbgoiag parents was made comfortable by a soli wooien blanket and an armful of sweet-emel. ling oat straw. John didn't tell where hr was go ing, but he looked wise. It wac evening when be came home. His cop of tea was waiting, and tbe tender little pullet fried nice and brown. He seemed really unhappy. He trotted the baby on his foot , that night, and called bis wife 'Jenny,' as in the days when be won her, and he let Johnny play horse with his boot, and there" was such a contented ex pression on his face, tbat his wife could not help wondering. Tbe next morning tbe crazy oia rig was called out again, and the soft blanket spread in it, and John Jones took tbe lines in bis emaciated hands and drove off in the same direction as be did the day before. When he returned he was accom panied by a broad-shouldered, good looking German girl whom he intro duced to bis wife as 'our girl.' She looked with amazement upon 'our girl,' then stared at John. He soon explained things to ber satisfac tion. "The upshot of tbe matter is, Jane, that I've abused you long enough ; tbe Lord helping me 1 "II never see you make a drudge of yourself again.

And now Tou'll tell this eirl, Barbara Orootz, bow you want things done, and let her take your place and work in your 6tead, and you'll live hereaf ter'like a human man's wife ought to." By the time this speech was made, the poor, weak fellow was blubber ing like a baby. I'oor little surprised wife I tsbe flew to bim and laid her head on his bosom, and cried like a lby, as sbe said : "John Jones, you darling !" "No, not a bit of a darling ; just an old bear, a regular old heathen, to sacrifice the best little woman under the sun, inch by inch, the way tbat has been going on for years," snuf fled he, as he fumbled over ber face in an aimless, loving way. Then "our girl' Barbara went into Jane Jones' harness and it fitted her to a fraction. " "Now, we've turned over a new eaf, go and dress up, Jenny, bless you I" said the new convert bo Jane uneartned ner wedding dresB in tbe afternoon, and put it on, with a pretty old-fashioned collar, and brushed out her nut-brown hair that once upon a time curled beauti fully. Perhaps she felt foolish and girl ish and out of her sphere, bat looked sweet enough to make up for all dis crepancies. She sat sewing when tbe children came home from school, her back toward the door. Tom came to a dead halt as he stepped on the sill, and then ran around the lean-to to find his mother. No mother was there, but the smil ing pinky-faced German girl, who was paring potatoes for the evening meal. . Tom bawled out : "Is mother dead f O, I want my mother!" and cried around tbe house and peeped in shyly with wet eyes. Was that lady in a soft gray meri no dress, wearing an embroidered collar and nice gold ear-drops, his mother J Surely it was, for Nellie was 'ondling her face and sparkling all over and saying : "Is this you motber ? Why, where have yon been Tn "Ob, ma, said Tom, holding her aroind tbe neck as though she might get away tbe next minute: "W by, when did yon go, and when did you come back." Poor little ones how proud they were of the household drudge in her new and beautiful transformation, But this was. not all. Before the first cold blast of winter came, steps were taken to save and lighten tbe labors of the feminine portion of tbe farmer's housenold. An additionwas built to the house, new siding was put on and painted white. New windows were added, and green blinds and spouting, and a big cistern cloee to the kitcheu door, and a wide, long, roomv porch. Closets were put in all tbe rooms, the old bedsteads split op and used for kind ling: new chair were bought, inclu ning a new rocker, and sewing-cbair for motber; a new sewing machine that was a love of a friend ; the door-yard was paled in, and tbe calves and colia kepi where they be longed; and evergreen trees and flowering shrubbery, and rose bu h- es made beautiful tbe new yar. ,Xn easv chain-pump took tbe place o! the moss-covered bucket tbat feeld s much as a cbura. It was packed off to tbe barn to put clover seed in, and the heavy windlass was borne away forever from the arms that had tugged at its ponderous weight with sick wean ness for many and many a year.

COXEY ISLAND is a low, narrow strip of sand lying along Long Island lacing the ocean. It is six or seven miles long ana about half a mile wide and is separat "" .a a J or! from the main land onlr bv a sluggish, narrow stream that a good horse could jump across u tne Danxs were firm. The sea front is divided into four different localities or settle ments, almost, and la some cases, quite touching each other, and is known as "Manhattan ; Beach," "Brighton Beach." "West Brighton Beach" (formerlr "Cable's"), and the "West End" or "Mike Norton's." The latter is tbe oldest and ia kept bv ex-Senator "Mike" Norton, and is t ill the favorite resort for people of a certain class. Here tbe buildings are rouch and low, like most of their habitues, though the beach is very fine. A mile above comes nest Brighton Beacb, where hotels and summer gardens are thick, and the biff Centennial Observatory offers a nfrtr mile view of Old Ocean; the Aauarium exhibits its wonders of the deep ; tbe big three story Ocean Pier nflVra its manifold attractions, and German bands bombard your ears at everv turn. Two huge railroad de pots stand here, from whose wide doors the crowd pour steadily out ward from morn till dewy eve, and where, till midnight, every portal is choked with throngs wending their war homeward again. A marine, narrow guage railway now runs from Norton's Point to West Brighton, bringing crowds who prefer the sail down the bay to the all-rail route. Half a mile farther east stands tbe hotel Brighton on "Brighton Beacb." It is a huge building of handsome design, umsn- ed throughout in Fastlake, with pi azzas 50 to 7a feet broad running the whole length. Hundred of peo ple sit on these magniGcant piazzas at supper, wnue the Dana irom a oig sland directly in front discourses such music as you would pay a coup le of dollars in midwinter to hear at Steinway's or the Academy, while often ten or fifteen thousand people crowd tbe planked walks around.

Manhattan Beacb lies about half a mile "till further East, and here stands the hotel made famous by Mr. Amos Corbin s declaration that "no Jews are wanted." Like Brighton it is verv large, very elegant and ve rv lucrative. A room to be secured in eilher of these monstrous houses must be engaged weeks ahead.

Tbe season has been as unfavorable to bees as to the other workers dependent on tbe sea sons. The "little alanamen of spring bo werB" have suffered like the flow ers themselves, and hare often been driven to eat in one week the honey they bad laid up ia tbe preceding. The exhibition of honey is therefore extremly pot, but on the other hand, there is as excellent show of hivea and appliances for bee manipulation. The prize for the beat bive for the purposes ef observation has ' been awarded to Mr. J. A. Abbott, tbe well known bee-master of Southall, for a bive of very simple construction, formed by' patting loose frames in a box made ot plate-lasa. Very no ticeable in this observatory Is the hab it of the bees to cluster together for warmth on one comb, leaving others entirely deserted. For the best and most complete movable comb bive, with coveriug, ' stand, J and facilities for strong surplus boney,' the' first prize is taken by Mr. J. M. Hooker, of Sevenoaks, with the improved Al- enandra bive, a vast American hotel for bees. In tbe same class, Captain P. E.

Tbe combs are then emptied ot' their honey, replaced, and speedilyjrfiiled by the exemplary workers. Above the hive proper are often placed little boxes, "supers," to be filled with a convenient quantity of honey by the bees, who are at the right mv i nt drummed out or induc ed to go by admitting some vapor they detest The prize for "supers" was gained by Mr, Steele, of Foalia, Glasgow ' Some American "supers" shown are a novelty. They are lit tle squares of one piece of wood near ly cut through at three points, with enongb wood left to serve as a binge, and morticed together at the fourth angle.

Generally, with superannuated horses, enough more has to be fed ia grain and meat to largely i .e - tbe nec essary expense. 1 wuntd always feed a team well ; but with strong horses, this extra feed will go into extra work, and thus diminish its cost To keep infirm horses at work Involves greater expense, as moch of their feed is needed to keep np thir vitality. A team of horses, , each weighing 1,200 pounds or over, and from fire to ten years old, can do an immense amount of work if well fed and in hands willing to put ' tbem through. The great satisfaction in using such a team comes from the fact that tbey will not probably be in jured by any work tbat they are like ly to be put to. . ' ' ' In keeping a team of work horses, I would seldom turn to pasture, and then only for a brief lime . after mid summer, and wben there was no presssng work to be done. Horses at hard work cannot be pastured profitably, and if tbey are strong and healtby, are better in the stable than anywhere el.se. , tn,r Able-bodied men can .work all through the summer, six ' days out of every seven, and take no lojury. There is no reason wby able-bodied horses in good health ' should 1 not, with proper care and feed, do the same, lne bite 1 1 grasa wntcn a plow horse geis at any time through spring work does him far more harm than good. When, burdock leaves appear a few mar be fed, which will bo relished by most horses ; but be yond this the diet " should be good clover bay, with corn and oatmeal or cut feed to gire strength ..and an oc casional feed of roots to sharpen the appetite and keep tbe bowels open. ltb good horses kept in tbe beat condition, it is possible to reduce the number employed in working a place. Four or are good strong horses will do tbe work of six or more poor ones, and do it much more satisfactorily to the owner or the man who works tbem. Very often it will be fonnd advantageous to hire some team work to supplement tbat kept on tbe farm rather than let work get behind band or keep more horses than are needed through tho greater part of tbe year. This is especially the case where, through bad management, tbe horses on tbe farm are unable to do a full day's work. Wben plowing or seed ing drag along late in the season from such a cause, tbe fact forebodes vast deal of needles? work and wor ry for tbe farmer, and an unprofitable season at tbe close.

The liOve tbat Uvea. The Scranton Republican tells this touching story: Among the crowd of persons who moved about the D. L it W. platform yesterday, waiting for tbe afternoon train from New York and Philadelphia, there appear ed a middle aged woman who fre quently gazed up the track with an anxious aud restless look tbat aeemed to say she was waiting for someone. Sbe walked about nervously and seemed impatient as tbe time drew nigh for tho train to arrive. Any one who studied ber countenance could not fail to 6ee that sbe was in mental misery. At last tbe locomotive dash ed round tbe curve, and the sad face of the woman brightened with a mo mentary ray of hope, she hastened forward to tbat poiut of the platform which the train would be likely to reach first, and as the cars swept by sbe peered into tbe windows, anx iously scanning the faces of the pas sengers. When tbe train baited and the living stream of humanity pour-! ed out from the different doors on the the platform, she mingled with the crowd as if in search for some dear friend, but those intent on business little knew the sorrow at the heart of the pure obscure woman who was tossed about in the bustle . of life. Wben the platform was cleared she withdrew with a sigh, but turned back again aa she quitted the door to take one more look at the train and see if the face she sought was not still there. A gentleman who lives a short distance from her home in the suburbs of Scranton, told onr re porter the . woman's sad history. During the civil war, ber only son, a young man upon whom she fairly doted, was killed in one of the hot test engagements, and the neW6 of his death so preyed upon tbe poor woman's mind as to disturb ber rea son. Ever since then sbe goes to the depot once or twice a week to meet tbe incoming trains in the bope tbat be will come to ber. At other times and on all other subjects she seems entirely sane, but she some times thinks that her son will come back, and to satisfy the hope that never dies, and in tbe depth of tbat love which never fades, the poor mother continues to go on her Bad mission with as much earnestness as though she were performing a sol emn religious duty.

The general Idea is tbat , hammocks are only for tbe wealthy, the "stylish," or professional time-killers. It is a great mistake. Every well-tc-do-farmer-ievery owner of a "cozy vil lage borne every member of a stay- at-home club who commands a spot big enough to swing one should bare a hammock. ; . . 'A good 'one mar be bought for $1.50 to $4, or as much higher as you choose , to co. It should be bung where there is a good afternoon shade, and, if intended ia part for children's use. so low that small children can get into it by the aid of a box or low stool, and over soft ground, so that tbe numerous tumbles that are proba ble will be harmless., If no other place ia available,., it . may be hung between tbe ? pillars -. of a abady ve randa, a place well enough for the older people who use it, but undesir able for children,' on account of the lactjilLa soft turf, as well as for the noiae which, accompanies its use by the youngsters. i,j . 1 Wben children only are to use tbe hammock the manner of banging ia not important, but if provided tor tbe use ci grown persona u should then be so suspended tbat tbe head witl always be considerably higher than tbeiaeVand moch of the comfort of one who uses it depends upon a prop er observance of the fact If yon have no more suitable place, suspend it from the , columns of a veranda. Tbe hook , which supports tbe bead end should be six and'a quarter feet from the floor, and that tor the foot end three and three quarters feet.and these proportions should be observed wherever it may be hung, to secure tbe most desirable curve for tbe ease of the occupant ... Another point to be observed : tbe bead end Bhould be fastened to the hook ' by a rope less than . a foot long just enough to properly attach it, while at the foot is a rope four and one half feet long. This gives the greatest freedom for swingiog the lower part of the body, while the head moves but little. This ia a point which cannot be observed in a hammock for children, who think more of it as swing than as a place for comfortable repose. When trees serve for enpports, ample provision should be made to prevent injury to tbe bark, by means of stout canvas or heavy bagging between the ropes to whicb it is suspended and the bark. If the hanging be so arranged that tbe hammock caa be taken ia daring long storms it will last much longer. : ' V; r How Coffee Came ta be Cued- It is somewhat singular to trace tbe nacner in whicb arose tbe use of tbe common beverage of coffee, ' without which few persons, in any half or ful ly civilized country ia tbe world, make breakfast. At the time Columbus discovered America it had never before been known or used. It grew only in Arabia and Upper Ethiopia.- The discovery of its use as a beverage is ascribed to tbe superior of a monas tery in Arabia, who, desirous ot pre venting tbe monks from sleeping at their nocturnal services, made them drink the infusion of coffee, upon tbe reports of shepherds who observed that their flocks were more lively af ter browsing on tbe fruit of the plant. Its reputation spread throqgh tbe ad jacent countries, and in two hundred years it. reached ran?. A single plant, brought there in ITU, became the parent stock of a'.I tbe French plantations in the West Indies. The Hatch introduced ft into Java and tbe East Indies. ...; j . The extent of the consumption now can hardly be realized. The United stattalone annually consume it at the cost, on its landing, of from $15,- 000,000 to $16,000,000. ? . ' To Hath Far Him. ' ' ; - . . f J ansnaanaaanm The other day a sharp looking youth walked up qa ickly to tbe counter of tbe postomce in a country town, and emptying a bag of coppers tbenon, asked the clerk, who was at tending to other customers, for a dol lar's worth of one cent stamps. "Oh, you be bothered !" was the answer , ' ' '"Z. . "That's not a legal tender ; it is all copper.!' ...... ... : "What is a legal .' tender, ''then'?" asked the boy. . - ,- . n .."Wby, one cent is a legal tender for a one-cent stamp." ' "Oh !" exclaimed the youth, is it ? Come on, then," passing a coin from the heapj "a one cent stamp, if yoa please." '' ... f ., . . , ; ' The clerk gave him one. . , , "Another, please." . A second one was given bim. Ano'- "Here, slop that,", tbe : clerk said. "Give me tbe money. It will be tbe shortest way to get rid of yoo." After counting tbe money, be gave the value thereof in . stamps to (he lad, who was beard to mutter: ."I thought I would tire bim out" A Woaaaa'a Darlag rear. The San Diego (Cal.) Herald of June 2G tells of the following feat performed there by a ; young lady named Misa Lawrence : 'Last Tuesday a band of wild cat tle were being driven through the street?, wben one of them singled out a child at play and started tor it. The raqaero, wbo( was drunk, tumbled from his horse' as he attempted to turn the furious animaL , At thia mo ment Miss Lawrence : came along, and.takiog in the situation at a glance, sprang into the vacant' saddle, ' ran down the wild steer, threw her shawl over its head just as it was about to gore the child, and, taking advantage oi tbe confusion of tbe beast, rode up to tbe child, and without leaving her saddle; reached to it and lifted it into her lap, and then carried it off in safety. ! -' ' ; ' '"; ; ' ' "This was hot Only a genuine act of heroism, but an exhibition of horse manship such as few persons if any in tnia region could equal,". 1 j Mr. Weston, the champion pedes trian and late winner of tbe Astlev belt as the champion long distance walker, in London, ia now delivering temperance lectures throughout Eng land.
