THE PRESCRIPTION.
, "I wish yon would tell James wlien
lie comes to turn the cows Into the
lower lot. And if Turpin calls, tell
him I have concluded to take those
sheep I want tha merinos'. And
while I am getting ready, please take
mynemorandom book ana note down
fonr harness strap, 6ve 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 morning." " Mrs. Btreeter 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 t$e tired c yea JaiJ.of
care and hinted strongly of an unsat
isfied heart .
Atfd this thin-cnecked, pink-eyed
J woman, had; been called a beauty only
sevens-pars before. I And wben she
gave her hand to Newton Strecter she
could say what few girls can : "I mar
ried my first-love."
Judge Streeter, the father, was sup
nosed to be wealthy. But soon after
his son's marriage a financial crisis
came, and the thousands dwindled in
to hundreds.
It was a false pride, perhaps, but
the young man shrank from a position
under those whd had once looked opto
him, and his thoughts turned wistfully
toward the Western prairies.
He expected objections from : his
young and accomplished wife. But
she saw with his eyes, and was not on
ly willing, but eager to gq and help
him make a home that should bo all
their own. The purchas'ins of a prai
rie team, some farming implements,
and the expense of building a small
house, exhausted his capital and the
young couple commenced their mar
ried life as many others bad done, who
had not been blessed with their advan
tages. The small dwelling contained
hut three sleeping apartments, and
this fact, added to their uncertain in
come, induced Mrs. Streeter to take
upon herself the entire care of the
household. ' - ..'
Two children bad come in the seven
years to uestRs in- her bosom. But one,
ay fairy child of three summers, had
slid away from them, and was now
sleeping beneath the flowers of the
prairie ( and the tired wire had sighed
as she looked -en the cold, folded
bauds.
"S!ie will never toil as I have done ;
but oh, I wanted her so much," the
lonely mother sobbed 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, why should he wear out
fasT
But of her? Naturally frail, she had
been like a willow bending beneath a
burden voluntarily takeu up. With
the exception of an efficient girl for a
few Weeks when little Mary died, she
haderfitJSjied all the labor required
in the house since she became its mis
ress. ;' "
Newton Streeter took tle memoran
dum, glanced.; hastily at the neatly
written items and then, stepped . into
the' light buggy a'nd drove away.
But no longer might she linger, for
the sponge was waiting yi the kitchen
to be kneade'd, and the baby's naps
were like angel's visits. Aud before
the task was well over hia bugle note
sounded to arinsj and tljp fretful child
was taken op and caressed ana sooth
ed to quietness.
bhe was conscious or a strange dizzi
ness. V hftsMhe arose Ireiu a stooping
position her Laid 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 ber thoughts drifted
away to the dear old home of child
hood, and she asked . herself, for the
first time, if she had done wisely to
hjave it for this life of toil and care ?
It was a dangerous 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 hia wife helpless upon the
bed, with cjieeks flushed with - fever,
and the wailing child distracting her
with demands for 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. s close observer, and a deep
thinker, took the bWband aside u
asked :
"Do you know what brought this
fever on your wife, Mr. Streeter ? You
have worked her nearly to death.
"You are speaking of my wife, not
my horso."
"Granted; and I say sgaiu you are
working ber 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 eves that you may see even as
I see." "
And then he placed the cold, hard
facts hefore him, from the time she
became a bride, beautiful, accomplish
ed, to the village, up to the date of
present illness, in which domestic cares
only had haunted in her feverish
dreams, lu concluding he added :
"I truly believe, is she takes up her
old burdens at onc, that before- the
year has passed the grave or. insane
asylum will receive her."
The strong man shuddered. 1
"As heaven is my witness, sir. I have
only permitted, not exacted, this sacri
fice bhe voluntarily took her place
by my side and has uncomplainingly
kept step with mo." ...!.
"Ko,8he 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 homo."
"i'es, I begin to comprehend, and
it can be found away. And (olltnng
his hand), I will , take care, Doctor,
that you do not get - a chance to ad
minister such a dose to me?"
. air. htreeter went back to the room
wnere ma wue 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. He sat down be
side her and said softly :
"lou don t know how glad X 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 farm to rent this summer, and
you take the boy, and go back to tho
old grarfite hills?" '
"Oh, could you? May I go?" and
the voice quivered with excitement ;
then wistfully, "but the expense, 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 weut
to the city for the day you were taken
ill?"
"To deposit some money for more
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 of 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 ingood time,
and she arrived safely at Irome, where
she was petted and caressed to her
heart's content. ' , ' "
"You are all trvinir to spoil me.'
she would expostulate ; "I shall never
be fit for a farmer s wife any more.
And thus among loving tnends,
riding, walking, and when at home,
reading music, and writing long letters
to ber husband, the summer wore
swiftly away.
And now he had written that he was
coming, acd she was counting to
days that must elapse ere she
could look upon bis lace aud be clasp
ed to his heart. She was eager to go
now. Her holiday was over. Health
had returned, and not au iustant did
she shrink from the old life. ' . i ,'
And when the husband came and
saw the wonder one summer had
wrought, he again told himself that
the good doctor was right.
A few days were given to the old
friends, and then they turned their
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 into 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 his
eye told her he was enjoying her sur
prise, and slowly she began t realise
the whole situation. Yes, now she un
derstood his strange reluctance to
mention what he was doing, and his
willingness to have her remain, even
after she had expressed her anxiety to
return.
"Come. I have more to ow yu"
and he showed her into a large com
modious .room furnished for her own
sleeping apartment, even to her baby's
crib.
"This is for you. And cow lay aside
your dusty garments and prepare for
tea. It miiHt have been ready an hour
ago. I will go and see."
When he returned ho found his lit
tle-wife sitting in her little rocker and
weeping silently.
"Have I wounded where I wished to
heal ?" he asked reproachfully.
"Forgive me,"he said smiling; "I
am a goose, but a tired winged one,
you know. And. I am so happy to be
at home in such a home that I have
no words in which to tell my happi
ness." He stooped to kiss the offered lips.
Aud thus the new life began. And
what a different life it was busy, not
burdened. Time for the wants of the
mit,d as well as the body. Good help
in the kitehen all the time, and choice
reading for any liesure hour.
The farm was an unfailing source of
income, fully defraying, all expenses
each year and showing a balance in
favor. . ( .
, ''Been improving, I see," said. Dr.
Meeker, as he reined his light carriage
to the neat lence. . V
"Yes, Doctor. Come in ; I want U
show you the improvements. ' Here
Mary, the Doctor wants to see you."
'. And as she came to greet him, rosy
with health and happiness, he nodded
his head at her husband. "Yes, that
will do, and then glancing at the
open piano, "I am going to stay iust
long enough to hear one tune played.
Will you favor me?" And with the
old gallantry, fitted so awkwardly to
hia brusque manners, bo 4ud her to the
instrument, aud stood hat in hand
while she played. "There, thank you,
I have cut-off my own supplies. No
more fees for me here, I see. Just my
luck. I never did know enough to
make my bread and butter. Goodbye,
Mr. Streeter." And again nodding to
the husband, he trotted out to bis ve
hide and went on his way, his cheery
voice humming to his horse, perhaps
the tune he bad just heard.
TRANSFIXION OF BLOOD.
Max Adeler has been watching some
interesting experiments in a great de
partment ot 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, imdosnair, concluded to
4 .1- -Vli. 1
iry me expenrnijfiiransiusion oi dioou
of which he had heard bo much lately.
As no human being was willing to shed
his blood for Simpson, the doctor bled
Simpson's goat, and opening a vein in
Simpson s urm he ejected about two
Quarts of blood in the patient's system
Simpson immediately began to revive
but singular to relate, no sooner had
bis strength returned than be jumped
out of bed. und twitching his head af
ter the fashion of a goat, he made a
savage attempt to butt the doctor
That medical man, after having Simp
son's head plunged against his stomach
three or four times, took refuge in the
closet, whereupon Simpson hanged his
head 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
directsd 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
frain carpet. When they called the
ired mau in and tied bun down on
the bed. an effort was made to inter
view him, but the only answer he could
give to such questions as to how he felt
and when he wanted his medicine, was
a "ba-a precisely like that of a goat
and then he would strain himself in an
effort to butt a hole in the bead board
The condition of the patient was so
alarming, and Mrs. Simpson was so in
dignant that Dr. Hopkins determined
to uudo the evil U possible, bo behrst
bled Simpson treely, and then by hea
vily bribing Simpson's Irishman be
procured fresh blood-from him and in
jected Simpson the second time. Simp.
son is now as well as ever, excepting
that he shocks his old ltepublicau
friends by displaying an irresistable
tendency to vote the Democratio tick'
et. and makes his mother-in-law mad
by speaking a strong brogue. But
has given up buttiog, and has never
indulged in it but once since, and that
was on buuday. when one ot the re
maining corpuscles of goat's blood get
ting mto his brain just as be was going
into church, he butted the sexton halt
way up the aisle, and only recovered
himself sufficiently to apologise just as
the enraged official was about to iloor
him with a hymn book.

THE I.I;ilTNII KOI MAN.
Tho experiences of the itinerant
lightning rod man are 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
safeguards, 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
ture of a little different nature, which
actually did strike terror to him. All
day long he had been busily engaged
in placing several ot his double pro
tection, anti-failure, self-conducting
rods on the barn of Jerry Starr, near
Landenberg, and finished his work on
ly as the darkness of evening settled
down among the hills. He had watch
ed, with apparent unconcern the ap
proach ot that black cloud which
deluged our city with water, feeling
secure 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 his 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 hiB 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 rudj, displacing them and
breaking the rod. in several pieces. As
usual, the charge was too great for the
rods, and, as they afforded no safe con.
duct for the electrio currenc to the
earth, it played all about on the barn
roof, winch was tin, and even melted
the heads from the nails which held
the covering in position. Our light
ning rod man looked on after he bad
recovered from the shock in grave con
templation for some time, when he de
parted, bur we have not heard of hie
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. "i'lease, mother,"
said Bill, "Jem wants half tho bed."
"Well," said she, "let him have it, and
you take the other." "Yes, mother,"
says Bill, "but he will have his half
out of the middle, and make me sleep
on both sides of him."
It was suggested in the St. Louis
Common Council that the liquor sa
loons should be closed on the Fourth of
July. "If there is a time," thundered
Alderman Corwin, "when the average
citizen is justified in indulging in the
spirit of '76 or of a later date, it is on
the fourth of July. And the voico
of the suggestor was heard no more.

A Southern newspaper announces iu

sentence of one thousand dollars' fine
and two years' imprisonment for' em
