THE PRESCRIPTION.
"I wish vow would tell James when
lie comes to turn the cows into the
lower lot. And if Ttirpin culls, tell
him I have concluded to take those
sheep I want the merinos'. And
while I am getting ready, please take
my Tnemorandum book and note down
fnnr harness straps, 6 ve pounds of nails,
and a gimlet, half a jockey strap, and
and yes, I believe that is all. I
forgot them when I made out the items
this mornine." Mrs. Streeter rose
wearily, laid her sleeping babe care
fully in its crib, and proceeded to re
cord the articles named. She was
young not over twenty-five but the
complexion was sadly faded, and faint
lines were already marking the white
forehead, while the tired eyes. Jala of
care and hinted strongly of an unsat
isfied heart. .
And this thin-checked, pink-eyed
woman, had; been called a beauty only
seven -years before t And when she
gave her hand to Newton Streeter she
could say what few girls cap : "I mar
ried my first love."
Judge btreeter, the father, was sup
posed to be wealthy. But soon after
his sou's marriage a financial crisis
came, and toe thousands dwindled in
to hundreds.
It was a false pride, perhaps, but
the young man shrank from a position
under those who had once looked up to
him, ami his thoughts turned wistfully
toward the Western prairies.
He expected objections from ' his
young and accomplished wile. Jut
sho saw with his eyes, acd was not on
ly willing, but eager to go anu help
him make a home that should bo all
their own. The purchasing of a prai
rio team, some farming implements,
and the expense of building a small
house, exhausted his capital and the
young couple commenced their mar
ried me as many others nud done, wno
had not been blessed with their advan
tages. The small dwelling contained
but three sleeping apartments, and
this fact, added to their uncertain in
come, iuduced Mrs. Streeter to take
upon herself the entire care of the
household.
Two children had corao in the seven
years to nestle in her bosom. But one,
a fairy child of three summers, had
slid away from them, aud was now
sleeping beneath the flowers of the
prairie; and the tired wife had sighed
as she looked on the cold, folded
hands.
"She will never toil as I have done ;
but oh, I wanted her so much,", the
lonely mother Bobbed forth.
Mr. Streeter was considered a weal
thy farmer. His acres had broadened
and his stock increased. Physically
and mentally strong, and with a gentle,
loving wife ever studying his tastes
and wishes, whv should he wear out
fast r
But of her? Naturully frail, she had
beeu like a willow betiding beneath a
burden voluntarily taktu up. With
the exception of an efficient girl for a
few weeks when little Mary died, she
had performed all the labor required
in the house since she became its mis
tress. Newton Streeter took the memoran
dum, glanced, hastily at the neatly
written items and then stepped into
the light buggy aud drove away.
But no longer might she linger, for
the sponge was waiting in the kitchen
to be kneaded, and the baby's naps
were like angel's visits. And before
the task was well over his bugle note
sounded to arm) and the fretful child
was taken up and caressed and sooth
ed to quietness.
bhe was conscious of a strange dizzi
ness. Y heo she arose trem a stooping
position her head was aching misera
bly, and her eyes seemed burning.
What was coming over her? She must
be ill. Oh, no; she had no time for
that,! And then her thoughts drifted
away to the dear old home of child
hood, and she asked herself, for the
first time, if she had done wiseiy to
bave it for tbig life of toil and care?
It was a dangerons question for a
wife mother, and she clasped her
child more closely to suppress in her
heart the disloyal answer.
When Mr. btreeter returned, exault-
ant over the dollars he had deposited
in the bank, he found no supper pre
pared, and bis wile helpless upon the
bed, with cheeks flushed with fever,
and the wailiDg child distracting her
with demanf tor care.
. A physician and nurse were soon
summoned from the city ,and the weary
wife enjoyed the luxury, of being ill.
But convalescence soon followed;
and before leaving his patient, the old
dootor, a close observer, and a deep
thinker, took the husband aside aud
asked :
"Do you know what brought this
fever ou your wife, Mr. Streeter ? You
have worked her nearly to death."
"You are speaking of my wife, not
my horso."
"Granted ; and I say agaiu you are
working her to death."
"Really, Doctor, such language is
unpardonable."
"And yet you will pardon it. And
furthermore, by your great love for
the self-sacrificing woman we have
just left, I shall perform an operation
on your eyes that you may see even as
I see."
And then he placed the cold, hard
facts before him, from the time she
became a bride, beautiful, accomplish
ed, to the village, up to the date of
present illness, io which domestic cares
only had haunted in her feverish
dreams. Iu concluding he added:
"I truly believe, if she takes up her
old burdens at one, that beforo the
jear has pawed the grave or insane
asylum will receive her."
The strong man shuddered.
"As heaven is my witness, sir, I have
only permitted, not exacted, this sacri
fice. She voluntarily took her jilace
by my side and has uncomplainingly
kept step with mo."
"Ko.she has not kept step, to follow
your own figure. Unable to keep up
with your long rapid strides, she has
fallen, faint and foot sore; by the way.
I tell you she must have rest for both
mind and body or I will not answer
for the result. And it would be bet
ter found away from home."
"I'es, I begin to comprehend, a,nd
it can be found away. And (ofltring
his hand), I will take care, Doctor,
that you do not get a chance to ad
minister such a dose to me?"
. Mr. Streeter went hack to the room
where his wife was sitting propped up
by pillows, and a gush of unutterable
tenderness swelled in his heart as he
glanced at her pale face and -almost
transparent hands. Ho sat down be
side her and said softly :
"You don't know how glad I am
that you are better."
"Thank you. Yes, I am almost
well now--shall soon be able to be in
the kitchen. I am sure I must be sad-.
ly needed there by this time."
"No you are not needed there. By
the way, would you like to have me
put the faim to rent this summer, and
you take the boy, and go back to tho
old graifite hills?"
"Oh, could you? May I go?" and
the voice quivered with excitement
.then wistfully, "but the expeuse, New
ton. It would put us back so much.'
. "Yes, theie it is; the old Doctor
was right," he thought. And then
aloud : "Do you know what I went
to the city for the day you were taken
tli 7
"Io deposit some money Tor moro
land, I think you said," she replied
wearily.
"Yes, but I do not need that land. I
have far more land than I can culti-
vite now. And you shall have that
money or, at least, all you want of it
and go home and stay all summer,
and try to get some ot your bloom
back. 1 shall write to-day that you
are coming.
Mrs. btreeter could hardly believe
it was not one of her feverish dreams.
But it all came about in rood time.
and she arrived safely at frome, where
she was petted and caressed to her
heart's content. "
"You are all Irvine to snoil me.'
she would expostulate ; "I shall never
be nt for a larmer s wife any more.
And thus among loving iriends,
riding, walking, and when at home,
reading music, and writing long letters
to her husband, the summer woro
swiftly away.
And now he had written that he was
coming, acd she was counting the
days that must elapse ere she
could look upon his face aud be clasp
ed to his heart, bhe was eager to go
now. Her holiday was over. Health
had returned, and not an instant did
she shrink from the old life. .
And when the husband came and
saw the wonder one summer had
wrought, he again told himsolf that
the Kood doctor was right.
A few days were given to the old
friends, aud then they turned thei
faces toward their Western home.
It was evening when they arrived
and the wife looked with bewilder'
ment on the change. A handsome
front had been added to the old dwell
ing ; and before she had time to ques
tion she was ushered ioto a parlor
newly furnished and already lighted
An elegant piano stood in a recess
evidently constructed for its reception
She turned toward her husband to
assure herself that he, too, had not
changed into something or somebody
else. But the merry twinkle in bis
eye told her he was enjoying her sur
prise, and slowly she began t realize
the whole situation, ies, now she un
derstood his strange reluctance to
mention what he was doing, and his
willingness to have her remain, even
after sue had expressed her anxiety to
return.
"Come, I lave more to show you,'
and he showed her into a large com
modious room furnished lor her ow
sleeping apartment, even to her baby
crib.
"This is for you. And now lay asiJo
your dusty gnrmonts and prepare for
? . T. .r. 1 1. " I
tun. ii must unve uecn reatiy an nour
ago. l will go and see.
When he returned he found his lit
tle-wife sitting in her little rocker and
ceping silently.
"Have I wounded where I wished to
heal ?" he asked reproachfully.
"Forgive mo,"ho said smiling; "I
am a goose, but a tired winged one,
on know. And 1 am so happy to be
t home in such a home that I have
no words in which to tell my happi-
f
ness."
He stooped to kiss the offered lips.
And thus the new life began. Aud
what a different life it was busy, not
burdened. Timo for the wants of tho
minl as well as the body. Good help
n the kiteben all the time, and choice
reading for any liesuro hour.
1 lie farm was an unfailing source of
ncome, lully defraying all expenses
each year aud showing a balance in
iavor.
"Been improving, I see," said Dr.
Meeker, as he reined his light carnage
to mo neat lence. t, .
Yes, Doctor. Come in : I want lu
show you the improvements. ' Here
Mary, the Doctor wants to see you."
. And as Bhe came to greet h:m, rosy
with health and happiness, he nodded
us head at her husband. "Ies, that
will do," and then glancing at tbo
open piano, "1 am going to stay just
long enough to hear one tune played.
Will you favor me?" And with the
old gallantry, fitted so awkwardly to
his brnsque manners, ho led her to the
instrument, aud Btood hat in hand
while she played, "lhere, thank you,
have cut' oil my own supplies. No
more fees for me here, I see. Just tny
uck. I never did know enough to
make my bread and butter. Goodbyo,
Mr. Streeter." And again nodding to
the husband, he trotted out to bis ve
hide and went on his way, bis cheery
voice humming to his horse, perhaps
the tune he bad just heard.
THANWFlION OF 111.0(11).
Max Adeler has becu watching some
interesting experiments in a great do
partmcnt of hidden medical science,
and gives a lively description of the
results :
A recent medical experiment has ex
cited a considerable amount of interest
in our village. My neighbor Simpson
was nearly dead with consumption.
Dr. Hopkins, intdespair, concluded to
try the experinAJit, transfusion of blood
ol which be bad heard so much lately
As no human being was willing to shed
bis blood lor btmpson, the doctor bled
bimpson s goat, and opening a vein in
Simpson's erm he ejected about two
Quarts of blood in the patient's system
Simpson immediately began to revive;
but singular to relate, no sooner had
his strength returned than be jumped
out ot bed. uud twitching his bead af
ter the fashion of a gont, lie made a
savage attempt to butt the doctor,
That medical man, after having Simp
son's head plunged against hia stomach
three or lour times, toon reiuge in me
closet, whereupon Simpson banged his
lead against the panel of the door a
couple of times, and probably would
have broken it to splinters bad not his
mother-in-law entered at that moment
and diverted his attention. One well
directed blow from Simpson's head
floored her, and then while she scream
ed for help Simpson frolicked around
over the floor, making assiduous efforts
to nibble the green flowers: in the in
grain carpet When they called the
hired mau in and tied him down on
the bed, an effort was made to inter
view him, but the only answer he could
give to Buch questions at to how he felt
and when he wanted hia medicine, was
ba-a precisely like that of a goat
and then lie would strain himself in an
effort to butt a hole in the bead board
i he condition ot the patient was so
alarming, and Mrs. Simpson was so in
dignant that Dr. Hopkins determined
to undo the evil it possible, bo be first
bled bunpsou freely, and then by liea
vily bribing Simpson's Irishman he
procured fresh blood -trotn him and in
jected Simpson the second time. Simp
son is now as well aa ever, excepting
that he Bhocks his old Ilepublicau
friends by displaying an irresistabi
tendency to vote the Democratio tick
et. and makes his mother-iu-lavv mad
by speaking a strong brogue. But h
has given up butting, and has never
indulged in it but once since, and that
was ou Suuday, when one of the re
maining corpuscles of goat's blood get
ting into his brain just as he was going
into church, he butted the sexton half
way up the aisle, and ouly recovered
himself sufficiently to apologise just as
the enraged official was about to floor
him with a hymn book.

THE M;ilTMNJ KOI .MAN.
- - -
Tho experiences of tho itinerant
lightning rod man nro as various as
is manner of bamboozling the own
ers of property. He meets with cold
rebuffs and provoking negative replies
to his importunities to throw over
uildings what he deems necessary
afeguqrds, until an ordinary man
would quit the business in disgust and
retire to perpetual banishment. But
not so he; such denials as that lately
administered by General Sherman de
light him, and he is never more pleased
than when engaging in these little ad
venturesome experiences. But up in
Chester county, on Saturday last, one
of these itinerants met with an adven-
ure of a little different nature, which
actually did strike terror to him. All
Jay long he had been busily engaged
n placing several ol his double pro
tection, anti-failure, self-conducting
rods on the barn of Jerry Starr, near
Liandenberg, and finished lus work on
ly as the darkness of evening settled
down among the hills. He had watch
ed, with apparent unconcern tho ap
proach ot that black cloud which
deluged our city with water, feeling
seaure against the elements in the pro
tection which his aforesaid lightning
rods afforded. Consequently. he linger
ed loug upon the roof, strutting about
like a peafowl in admiration of him
self and bis achievements, and it was
not until the promonitory droppings
from the cloud began to fall, that he
would consent to quit the roof.
JNo sooner, however, had ho stepped
from the ladder, for with all his lofty
ambition and flights of fancy he was
only mortal and in a mortal way as
cended the barn, than an electrio cur
rent shot athwart the heavens, and,
descending, struck the barbed points
of the tvd), displacing them and
breaking the rod.iu several pieces. As
usual, the charge was too great for the
rods, and, as they afforded no safe con
duct for the electrio currcne to the
earth, it played all about on tho barn
roof, which was tin, and even melted
the heads from the nails which held
the covering in position. Our light
ning rod man looked on alter he had
recovered from the shock in grave con
templation for some time, when he de
parted, but we have not heard of bis
return to replace the broken rods,

"What are you hollowing about,
Bill?" said a mother at the stair-foot,
one evening, after her two boys had
been put to bed. "Please, mother,"
said Bill, "Jem wants half the bed."
Well, said she, "let hira have it, and
you take tho other." "Yes, mother,"
says Bill, "hut he will have his half
out of the middle, and make mo sleep
on both sides of him.
It was suggested
in the
St. Louis
Common Council that tho liquor sa
loous should be closed on the I' ourth of
July. "If there is a time," thundered
Alderman Corwin, "when tho averago
citizen is justified in indulging in the
spirit of '70 or of a later date, it is on
the r ourth of July. Aud tbo voico
of the suggestor was heard no more
A California paper says that twenty
years ago a Seuator of that common
wealth remarked, "1 would not give
sis bits for all the agricultural land
in California." This year the State
will harvest wheat enough to load a
thousand ships, each of a thousand
tons burden, and have enough left for
home consumption.
At Tom Badgor's wedding, Jack
Lumly was called upon for a toast.
Jack could not remember that neat
little speech he kad been conning for
a week, but he. felt himself equal to
the occasion, and eaid : "Badger, your
health! May this day's entertainment
be olteu repeated !" Mrs. Badger faint
ed. A Brooklyn young woman, who
abandoned her old husband says : "He

and kissing him all the while it isn't

obliged to sit on his lap and cuddle
him every time I wanted a cent"
A Southern newspaper announces iu
a hopeful spirit tho arrival of "an ex
member of Congress from Mississippi
at tho Albany Penitentiary" "under
sentence of one thousand dollars' fiuo
and two years' imprisonment for em

"How's business now?" inquired one
Nushville merchant of another, yes
terday. "Dull, fearfully dull," was
the reply. "The lact u, nobody buys
anything now but provisions aud
whisky the bare necessities of life, as
it were."
