MY MOTHER-IVLAW.
I married one evenitiK in autumn,
A rosy-rlieeked, rolieking girl ; -Her
eyes were as bright as midsummer.
Her teetli were like pebbles of pearl.
The presents were early presented.
As handsome as ever I saw ;
Hut donors quite frequently whisercd :
" Httware of your mother-in-law."
I rented a one-story cottage,
Just out of the noise of the town.
And happy as orioles mated.
We settled contentedly down.
And somehow it presently happened
That bundles ami dainties I saw
Pass into the door of our kitchen.
Sweet gifts from my mother-in-law.
Sometimes when my labor was heavy,
And wat;es eiceedingly low,
1 sank on my pillow discouraged,
liewailing my trials and woe;
Hut trouble was suddenly lifted,
And icy ill-humor would thaw.
When round rolling dollars would jingle
From the hand of my mother-in-law,
Hut once on a cold winter nio'niii):,
When snow mantled valley ami hill,
The wife I had cherished so fondly,
Lay silent and speechless and still,
And I with two wee little children,
Was left in the world all alone.
To long for a smile that. hail vanished.
To weep for a face that had gone.
1 thought of the sorrows about me,
1 thought of the varied past.
And wondered what hand in the future
Would fondle my darlings at last;
And lo. like an angel from Heaven,
Through torrents of tear-drops I saw,
A form bending down to my babies,
The form tt niv mother-in-law.
THE tilllL'.s CHOICE.
Judge Wallman, one of the
best
known iustices occupying the U
S.
circuit bench, after listening te a
party of lawyers the other day,
lighted his pipe, leaned back in an
easy chair and said :
"GentWmen, your stories of court
ship and marriage are quite interest
ing and romantic, but 1 believe that
it is reserved for me to tell you of a
love affair which. I am inclined to
think, will teach you that the com
mon place marriages f everv dav

spirited conversations, tuite a
iiiinilier of years ago, just alter the
w;ir. T va apptiiiited jutlye ol a
southftm circuit. I attended ve ry
strictly to the discharge of my duty,
and although very fond of ladies'
aociety, yet in my rounds I met
verv few representatives of the fir
pex'who in the leant iniprest-ed me.
One day, during an overflow, I
crossed the river about 25 miles
away from my repular oeat, and the
etream waso (swollen that by the
tiuiC I had landed the pun had pone
down and darknesi had spread it
self over the face of the earth, and,
s;o far as I could discern, the bosom
of tl e water. I did not find a road
when I landed, and made inquiry of
the ferryman, who, in effect, dtclar
ed that he had never made geogra
phy a study and that I must take
care of mys elf. Of course I intended
to abide by the extremity of such
advice, and after thanking my "water-side
character" for information
which, to say the least, was self-apparent,
I turned, I knew not where,
and began a uolitary journey through
the woods'. I had not gone far when
I came upon a large log huse, sur
rounded by a well-kept fence and
almost covered by a thick growth of
wild vines. I was pssailed at the
gate by an army oi dog. Their fit-
ry brnught out an obi man whn j
drove them away and in a voice of,
touching kindness asked me what I
wanted. I explained my misfort
unes attend mt upon high water;
that I was a federal judge endeavor- j
ing to reach the appointment. He
very cordially invited me inta the !
house." j
"A iedcre ur a constable is wel
come at my house at sich a time as
this." he said, throwing more wood
on the fire. "I've been cotched out
nivself and I know whatitis. Soyou
are a jrdge?''
"Yes, I am a judge, holding the
office under the United States Gov
ernment." "That means you ain't a State
jedge?"
'1 es.
"Wall, it don't make anv differ
ence, I wouldn't help a State jedge
no quicker than I would vou. iMyra,-;
see it there is anything to eat in the
Imtise.''
I looked up and the girl to whom
he Bpokeatood nar me. She in veil
away immediaeely after being ad
dressed, but not so soon that I failed
t note the; extreme beauty of her
face. I saw her wealth of bright,
firelight-reflecting hair, her glorious
deptli of eye, her ruddy iall-of-the-year
cheek and raspberry mouth.
She seemed to pay no attention to
me but obeyd witho it hesitation.
Presently she re-appeared and an
nounced that there was somtthii g
to eat in the house and that it was
spread on the table.
"Come.1' he said, and conducted
me to the dining room. Although I
was very hungry, yet I think that
mv appetite could have been satis
fied by allowing my eyes to feast on
the beautiful girl who attended the
repast. The spare ribs and back
bone and mashed potatoes were ex
cellent, I admit, but that magnifi
cent face which bent above it all,
far exceeded any banquet that I had
ever seen.
"Myra," said the old mm, after
we had gone in and taken position
before the fire, "hand around the
pipes."
The pipes' were brought in and
filled with natural leaf tobacco. We
puffed and puffed and talked and
puffed. I tld my experience and
the old man told his. I had betn a
cii-tain under Uncle Sam. Jefferson
bavin had made him a colonel. The
old man had no family except My- j
ra, his daughter. He seemed as de-,
voted to her, and quite ae much de- (
pendent upon her as Mr. Y'ickliff
was upon Agnes. I- had been BOj
much interested in the convention,!
and etsneciallv with the occasional!
glances cast at Myra, that I did not
think to ask the old man hia name
until just about the time we were
readv toco to bed.
MMy name is Jassmire," he said ; '

SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. APRIL lu 1SS4.
I bade him a cardial good night,
i . i i . . . t
and with one more glance at the
beautiful girl, I followed the negro
boy, who appeared with a lighted
candle.
I scarcely remember any of the
converMtimi of the next morning. I
know th.it I paw a beautiful face.
j that I Hat down when an elfin littie
hand drew out a chair, that I heard
the music of a sweet voice, and when
I left I looked into a pair ot ey,
direct in earnestness. I don't know
how I told the old man good bye. I
don't know that I thanked him frr
hi kindues.x, even after he refused
b accept pay. I don't know how I
mounted my horse, whether I climb
ed on like all awkward judges do, or
whether I wan lifted into the air by
admiration for the girl and at down
on the saddle. The truth i?, I don't

ii i Know, i iouihi mvseii ruling
ilong the road, deep in the contern
plation of a divinely drawn picture
which the very sunlight itself fram
ed and hung before me.
The routine of court duty was
very dull after this, and I longed for
the time when I could wander back
to the old log house, which to me
held such enchantment. Previously
I had lamented the fact that I had
remained a bachelor, but now I was
glad, because I had found an ideal.
I don't know how many sentimental
decisions I made during that Fes.
sion ofcurt, but I don't think that
it would sheil the light of very
much credit on my judicial career if
the condition of the country should
arise and demand a statement.
After awhile I went back t the
old log house. I found the old mar.
just the same. He welcomed me as
if he had never seen me before, but
with rapture I noticed that the girl
spoke as though she hail seen me
before, and that she was glad to see
me a'.iin. This time I was determ
ined not to leave so soon, and, the
truth is, I lingered several days. I
walked by the river with the beauti
ful creature, and helped her gather
the kindling at night. I roamed
with htr morning, night and noon
tide, and together wechased the rab
bit and squim-l and even the fox,
with all his slyness, diiiu t
ilways
escape our prowess ana fkiii .ot
Mining all the neighbors was there
such a "girling,"' and I, for myself,
i i -ii
hat! never seen one to compare with
her beauty, her grace and her voice.
When I spokeofmy leaving, the old
man objected, and even the girl
slightly demurred, but I told them
that buiness of pressinp importance
was claiming attention from the
North to the South. IJut the beau
tiful girl with rosy lips pouting, de
clared in a way that would have
paralyzed Paul, that I was so rest
less and wanted to leave them be
cause, as she thought, I had found
them all dull. I made a great effort
to go without showing the slightest
emotion on my part, you know, and
when the old man seemed so very
anxious that I should remain, I de
cided that I'd better go ami return
within a few davs. I didn't care to
overdo it, you understand. Well, I
went awav, not because I really had
I I.I Tl-l .
anv business, out oecause 1 eiia no.
care to injure my chances, for by
this time, you may know, I was
dead in love with Myra.
1 couldn't remain away but a
short time. When I returned tney
were all glad to see me. Myra, ii
seemed to me, wanted to kis me,
and I would have kissed her but I
didn't have a good chance. She was
more lovely than ever, ami when at
night we walked out under the stars
I felt that she loved me. I dreamed
of her. lit r flowing acquaintance
with books pleased me. for I knew
she studied for my sake. The old
man, too, seemed changed toward
me. He spoke w hen we were alone
of family affairs, and told me how
glad he was that I had come to visit
him. I saw that he knew that I was
in lore with his daughter, and with
thankfulness I noted that he en
couraged my suit. One night, after
Myra had gone to her rmom, and
while the old man and I sat by tiie
fire, the old fellow removed his gaze
from the glowing coals and, looking
at me, said :
"Myra is the best girl in the
worl"."
"Y'-.u needn't tell ir.e that,"' said I,
"for I know it."'
"Her husbau' will be a happy
man."
"A glorious man," I assented.
"I hope that you'll not regret the
flay when you came here."

might shock her. Well, goodnight,"
and he grasped my hand warmly.
That night I could not sleep. I
knew that the old man understood
my great love for his daughter, and
with a thrill I saw that it met with
his approval.
Next morning I was determined to
ask him for her, so, after breakfast, I
when he invited me to take a walk
with him, I thought that he had di
vined my intention. Myra, 100,
seemed to know that something was
likly to pass between us, for she
shook her fist in a charming way at
me when we left the house. I looked
back and saw her peeping at me,
with such deep fixfd love in her
glances, that I thought I ought to go
back and kiss her, but I turned t
the old man and talked to him about
his hogs and sheep. I decided to
a.k him for the girl, and although I
knew he would willingly consent to
our marriage, yet it was a difficult
matter. "When I get to that tree,"
I mused, looking ahead, "I will ask
him." Juet as we came to the tree
he stopped and said :
"You've knowed uay darter for
some time."
"Yes, sir."
"Not such a long time, it's true,
but so long we almos' look oh you
as one of the family."
"I am proud of it."
"Thank you, sir. Well, new I'll
tell you. My darter is going to be
married next week, and I want you
to be with us."
"To whom ?" I gasped.
UT a ferryman down here. She'a

I said nothing as we returned, but
when I found the girl alone I said :
"Don't you know that I love you
devotedly'?"
"Of course I never knew it,
Judge."
"Hut I do, and want you to be my
wife."
"Judge, I can't. I am going to

don't want you to think I won't

Rxperiiiienis "With Bat.
"If you ever want to study a hi
bernating animal, by all means take
a bat," said the naturaiist, "as they
are most easily handled. I have
made some experiments, with very
interesting results. Last winter I
placed one in a vacuum receiver and
kept it there for half an hour, the
creature not waking up and showing
that suspension of the faculties was
almost absolute, and the most care
ful use of the stethoscope barely
showed life, even that sometimes
failing. The same bat, suspended
in a vacuum gl iss, was afterwards
surrounded by gas that if the ani
mal was in its normal condition,
would be immediately fatal, but so
sound was this remarkable sleep
that it had no effect upon it; even
pure air that had surrounded it for
i hours when carefully examined and
analyzed did not show ttiat it had
even been breathed by th animal.
An instrument has been invented,
however, that shows the respiration,
each delicate movement being mark
ed by an index."
"About how much oxygen does a
bat consume in this state?"
"Individuals differ greatly," was
the reply. "One which 1 examined
consumed ninety-two cubic inches
in twenty-four hours, while others
use much less."
"The numbers of bats that hiber
nate together," continued the speak
er, "is marvelous, and not many
miles from Philadelphia, a most re
markable instance was shown not a
long time since. A gentleman con
nected with the Diplomatic Corps at

had not been occupied for many
years. On the first night in the

were deluged with a swarm of bats,

OII Hens
The old hen seems to be attacked
from all quarters, and the objections
to her are based upon two reasons,
ttie first of which is that a hen will
not lay as many eggs after the first
year she begins laying, and the sec
ond is that disease is more liable
amonj old hens than pullets. The
first objection is not always a potent
one, and very often the hens lay
better during the third year than
the second. Much depends upon
the time of hatching the pullets.
The pullet hatched as late as May
will ke badly beaten her first season
of laying by the old hen, and if slwj
commences her second year it will
be with disadvantage of moulting with orders that he should be kind
when the weather is cold. Old hens j ly cared for. Returning after an ab

given forth that old hens are unprof
itable as layers, has been accepted
more on faith than observation.
Our experience teaches that some
old hens will lay more than pullets,
and that some pullets viill lay more
than old hens. The trouble with
old linns is that they are liable to
become too fat on Very high feed,
but if they are fed with judgment
they will equal the pullets withnut
doubt. So far as being more liable
to disease than pullets there are
also exceptions, and if the matter
can be given a lair test it will be
found that the chances are equal
As to which are better ior breed
ing, we venture to say that more
eggs will hatch that are laid by old
hens than by pullets, and this is a
great deal in favor of the old hens.
We think hens should be kept until
the spring in which they become
three years old, not that thoy are
then useless, but because the pullets

this plan ot dividing the hen into
three periods, instead of two, will no

also, has something to do with the
merits of pullets and old hens. A
Leghorn or Hamburg pullet will lay
more eggs in a year than an old hen

Canada farmer' Advocate.
Stock. Management.
The farmer should keep enough
stock to consume all the -hav, grain
and surplus produce that is raised
on the farm, as by so doing he will
generally get a better price for what
he raises, and it will be much easier
marketed. The farmer should guard
against overstocking, which is a
prominent fault with those farmers j
who estimate their profits by the
number of cows and hogs they have
without regard to the condition they
are in. Care should be exercised in
the selection of stock. Haying com
menced, it costs much to retrace
one's steps. The farmer who ex
pends his money for poor, degener
ate stock simply because they are
cheap can be called anything but
prudent, and has surely spent his
money almost, if not quite, uselessly.
First determine what breed of stock
uits you best, and after vou have
commenced, stick to your line of
breeding. Do not be influenced by
all that you may hear or read and
keep changing. Don't buy indiffer
ent stock because they have a good
pedigree, believing what some may
tell vou, viz : That thev have good
blood in them, but that thev have
had bad usage, and that bv
earing
for them rightly you may

that he might outrun her and reach

get beyond her reach with the
other one. She stopped; finding only
one of her cubs had been released
she rushed after him agaiu. He

Stumbling Horses.
The Pittsburg Stockman, in a re
cent isne, says: "Some g'Kid horses
are addicted to stumbling while
walking or moving in a slow trot.
A well-versed veterinarian states that
there are two causes that would tend
to produce this faulty action ; such
as would be noticed in a tired hor.-e ;
the other, a weakness of the exterior
muscles of the leg, brought about by
carrying too much weight on the
toe. To effect a cure, he adds,
lighten the weight of each front shoe
about four ounces ; have the toe of
the shoe made of steel instead of
'"
it w-.ll wear longer; have it
rounded off about the same as it
would be when one-third worn out,
in order to prevent tripping; allow
one week's rest ; have the legs show
ered for a few minutes at a time with
cold water through a hose, in order
to create a spray ; then rub dry,
briskly, from the chest down to the
foot. Give walking exercises daily
during this week for about an hour
twice a day. When you commence
driving again omit the slow jog,
either walk or send him along at a
sharp trot for a mile or two, then
walk away, but do not speed for at
least several weeks. By this means
the habit of stumbling from either of
the above causes will be pretty well
overcome.''
