THE THREE ROMES! O
OR, .THE. MAGIC OF NEAjTNESS.
It had been an unconrtmonly warm and st/f
-try day,'and as the coo! air of evening swept
onward,,and fanned the brow of‘the healed
laborers, they one and all thanked heaven
thaltho 101 l of the day was over. . But to
nony among the homeward bound did ihe eve
ning breeze seem more refreshing then to
three whose baskets of tools denoted them
Carpenters, At the entrance pf.-the village
where they lived, Jones, Yates and Fields,
separated, each to seelrhs own dwelling.
There was not a cleaner or neater abode in
Bell Air than that awaiting the reception of
Jones. Not a speck of dust dimmed the brill
iancy of the windows ; every arjicle of furni
ture was polished till it shone fike a mirror;
fresh flowers breathed forth their fragrance
from the chimney piece; a spotless cloth cov
reed the little supper table, and Mrs. Jones
and the children were as neat as it was pos
sible lo be.
Far different was the scene that! awaited
Yates ; his house was in disorder, his children
untidy, and bis wJfo absent. The last named
evil was, however, soon Remedied, for one of
the children, despatched in quest of his moth
er, soon returned with her. . ,
<• You here alrpady, Bill ?” she exclaimed*
rushing in breathlessly, in a dim and dirty
gown. “ I had no idea it was so late. Light
the (ire, that’s a good boy, and we’ll have
supper.’’
“I am so tired, Mary, that I had rather do
without supper,” said Yates, throwing himself
upon a seat.”
“ Are? Well, then, I’ll make it,” and as
she hurried lo light the Are, more than one
piece of crockery was broken, having been
put in an improper place..
“Where have you been?” inquired her
husband,
“ Just next door, to see poor Mrs. Brown’s
sick baby.” '
“ Mother has been gone ever since two,"
chimed in a youngster.
“ You abominable story teller, take that,”
and here the mother boxed his ears.
Off went the child in a crying fit, and off
went Mrs Yales to prepare the supper—the
children became cross and sleepy, aud when
tea was at last ready, she had to go up stairs
and put (hem lo bed ; then returning, swall
owed her own meal hastily, and putting aside
the dirty plates, declared that now she’must
go and wash.
“ Wash !” exclaimed her husband in aston
ishment. “ I thought you washed yester
day ”
“ Well, so I meant, but Mrs. Brow.n came in
and prevented me. And now I must wash,
for neither I nor the children have a clean
thing to put on.”
“ So it seems,” said Yates sarcastically.
“ So it seems ! indeed," she cried ongrily
enough. I suppose you expect me lo bo as
clean and neat as if 1 kept twenty servants.”
“ No, Mary," said her husband'gravely,
“ I form no such extravagant notions; all J
ask is, that the hours I am working to earn
our bread, may be spent by you in a manner
more profitable than gossiping, and so let mo
find a quiet and orderly house on my return,
and a companion such as yjou used to be in
the earlier days of our wedded life.”
But the affectionate tones of the last words
exercised no sqftening influence upon the
roused spirit of the indignant wife, and a
quarrel ensued which ended in Yates taking
his hat, and finding at the public house the
comfort he could not find in his own.
Meanwhile Jones passed through his trim
little garden, entered his pretty collage home,
and silling down his basket seated himself by
(ho window.
“ Oh, Jones, you didn't, wipe your feel
when you came in." was his wife’s salutation
as she entered the room. '
“ Well, my dear, and if I did hot, there
could b&no mud on them,” said he.
“ No, but I’ll be bound there’s plenty of
dust on them,” and here. Lord bless me, if
your dirty basket isn’t set right down on the
clean wax cloth. What’s the use of my be
ing a slave, if that is the way you act.”
“ But Nell, I’m so- tired,”
“ Tired, forsooth ; and don’t you think that
1 gel tired, working about all day, as I do?”
“ You are indeed, a very industrious wife,
Nell,” —yet even as he spoke, ha sighed, for
his home, though It was very pleasant to look
at, was also very uncomfortable,
Mrs, Jones was a conscientious and an in
dustrious woman, and she esteemed it her du
ly to work hard for her husband and children.
But she preceived not how her spirit of house
worship interfered with her duties as a wife
and mother. The latter demanded her house
should be a home, the former that it should
be an idol, and she bowed down unresistingly
to the image she had herself set up, without
once suspecting that the magic word home,
was in bar keeping but an empty, sound.-
Her husband, when his hours of labor were
over, felt as if he had fairly earned a happy
evening; but he was ever offending against
her rules of propriety, and therefore took
himself lo the public house, where he was an
object of consideration which he never was
at home. And thus, though Mrs. Jones was
considered a belter wife than Mrs. Yates, they
both, by different means, accomplished one
end—driving from their homos domesticated
. husbands.
Fields, too, had gained his home—a neat
little collage li)<e those of his fellow workmen.
Within, all was clean and neat as the gambols
of the children would permit, and hia wife,
who advanced to meet him, was as neat a‘ par
son as the eye could wish to rest upon.
“ Well Carrie,'” cried Fieldq, gaily, “ here
J am, lired-and hungry, wanting my supper,’
do you mean to give me any ?”
Why, if you behave yourself, I will !”
she replied, in (he same tone: and as it i»afl
ready, you ..pight as well have it now; I
should think you needed it after so hot a day”
At length the comfortable though frugal
meal was ended, and the children pul to bed,
in. and then the little wife came gaily' down
• stairs. Fifilds was weary and fiad, placed his
's v/ 4eet upon the chair, no frown Car.

while CarrieJ’jelds pursued the even tenor of
her way, contented,- neat, pbeerful and good
tempered, her borne a heaven of peace and
happiness, to Which her husband ever returned
with pleasure; and herself most happy. in
making him so.
One day. Carrie was busily engaged in wee
ding her little garden, when Mrs, Yales pass
ed by; and seeing her, padsed to “ chat a
bit."
“ You have not seen the new clock Fields
bought me on My birth day,” said Carrie.
“ No I’ve not, but I’ll come in now,” and
Mrs. Yates entered.
“ Upon my word, it’s a pretty
wish I could afford such a one," said Mrs.
Yates. “ And how nice you have everything
around yoy. -1 wish I could bo as comfort
able.”
“And why should you not?” said Carrie,
your husband has the same wages as mine.”
“ Ah, your husband does not spend so
much time at the public house.”
No, he never enters it."
1 “And yet, when we were first married,
everybody said mine was the best match, be
cause Yates was the steadiest man. 1 cannot
think how you manage to keep him so much,
at home with you.”
H ‘ By making it neat, clean and comfortable,
by letting him find his supper waiting for him
and his wife and children ready to welcome
him and keep him company.”
Mrs, Yates stood for a moment silent and
self convicted. She said little to Mrs. Fields,
but bidding her soon good day, sped home,
resolving as she went that if her husband’s
reformation depended on hers, it should be set
about without delay.
That evening at the usual hour the three
men returned to Bell Air; Fields jesting on
‘the way,for'jiis heart was light, the others dull
and dreary, for they were exhausted by their
day’s work, and had no bright home thoughts
tochter them. At length Yales parted with
his companions, and sauntered slowly home
wards, knowing that however late he might
be, he was always too soon. At last he
.reached his home, but stood still in astonish
ment at the scene before' him, almost doubt
tng whether he had not entered the wrong
loor. The room was swept and dusted, and
everything put in its place; the supper was
ready, and children neat.
But the next moment his wife entered, and
then he knew his home again, for her dress
was a mailer that, amid all her reformation,
she had quite overlooked. But those she bad
effected sufficed for the time, and, pleased
with the Unwonted comfort, her husband re.
m&jAed at Homo,
A proud happy woman, that night, was
Mrs. Yales; she looked upon the victory as
already gained, and great was her disappoint
ment when Yales went to the house,
fhe next morning she took her way*to Mrs.
Field’s cottage, to communicate to her the
fears and hopes of the last two days.
“ You must not be diwn hearted,” said
Carrie; „only go on in the way'you have
begun, and before long your husband will set
at home as contentedly of an evening as my
husband does.”
“ Do you really think so ?” said she, wip
ing away the tears.
“To be sure I do,” said Carrie, gaily ;
“afid-now'l tell you what I’ll do—l’ll lend
you a book ; read a little of it to Mr. Yates
of an evening, and when it is ended you shall
have another.”'
“ Thank you,” said Mrs. Yates, full of
hope, as she departed. Carrie looked after
her a moment, and then calling her back, ex
claimed :
“ Whatever you do, Mrs. Yales, mind and
not forget to put on a clean dress before
evening.”
Mrs. Yates look both pieces of advice;
and pul on a clean gown and read the book,
and both answerd excellently ; Carrie had
proved a true prophet, and at the end of a
year or two both seemed reformed, and were
as happy and peaceful in their little cottage
as any couple in Bell Air.
Meanwhile months came and went, and
brought no spell upon their wings for Jones’
happiness. One evening there had been the
usual display of great anger for little sins*
when Jones, weary of the share that fell up
on himself, pushed back his chair, and rising,
was about to leave the house.
“And now,” observed Mrs. Jones, drily,
“ I suppose because you are not allowed to
make everything in a mess, you are going to
the public house to spend your money ?”
" No;” replied he, quietly, “ I am going
down to Yates’s.”
" To Yates’s I” repeated his wife contemp
tuously. “ You have good taste to choose
that dirty house !”
“ Mrs. Yales does not keep a dirty house ;
it is ns neat and clean as any one need to
see,” replied Jones; “ and what is more, she
lets her husband live in peace and quietness
and good temper.”
Peace and quietness and good temper! how
those words echoed in tho ears of Mrs. Jones,
long after her husband had left (he house.
Yet peace, quietness and good temper—'con
science whispered—were not to be found in
her dwelling. There was an error some
wberei—she had always been used to ascribe
it entirely to her husband; but could it be
possible that it existed as much, and perhaps
more, in- herself?
Mrs. Jones took counsel of none saVe her
own conscience, and in the end it guided her
aright; though painful indeed were the efforts
made to-, follow their .dictates, and much it
.cost her to sacrifice, even in part, the habits
which had grown upon her until they seemed
a part of herself. Bill time and good inten
tions on both aides brought back the peace
and Happiness which seemed tp have deserted
their dwelling, end at length the faces within
it grew tie bright as the tables that were rea
dy to, mirror them; for the neatest Cottage in
Bell Air became one Of itamost cheerful,and
best loved homes,r ‘ ;r:

Haying nndUarvcaUug, _
Haying ft|idrharvMting.afe the two. grand
evshtsin the Summer Campaign of. farmers,
in all the grazing and grain growing regions.
They are the principal items,of labor for the
ensuing sis weeks.or. two months, among the
great majority of our subscribers, East and
West, North and; South. In some sections,
both these important and laborious operations
are' at hand—though our readers in New
England, New York, the Western Stales,
and. Cahada, have yet time for ample prepa
ration, especially for wheat harvesting.—
Hence a few remarks on the subject will be
seasonable, and perhaps embody suggestions
worthy of attention.
~ It is of (ha first importance to be fully pre
pared, in season, lor both haying and har
vesting. ' Usually the greatest inconvenience
experienced by farmers consists in the lack
of sufficient and efficient help. An extra
number of laborers is necessary, and unless'
their services atexeogaged early, loss is often
sustained by not securing the grass and grain
in proper season. And those who wait until
the last moment, are necessarily obliged to
accept such laborers os are obtainable, how-'
ever inexperienced, and not unfrequently pay
exorbitant wages. , Farmers who require
special assistance should see that it is secured
without delay, and those who attend to the
matter now can engage the most capable
hands.
But hundreds if not thousands of our rea
ders cannot accomplish their haying and har
vesting in proper season, without the aid of
machinery. Mowing and reaping machines
must, to a great extent, take the place—or
supply the want —of laborers. Those who
require the aid of machinery should lose no
time in securing it early, so tbot there shall
be no failure when wanted. . There is noth
ing like being fully “op to time” in begin
ning to cut grass and grain, and every far
mer should make ample and timely prepara
tions to secure his more important and profita
ble crops at the most favorable period.—
Those who have the necessary machines and
implements, should see that they are in pro
per order, and those who need new ones
should lose no time in securing tthe best ob
tainable. We say the best, because a poor
implement or machine—a one horse afibip,
liable to “ fail to connect” when most wanted
—is generally a losing investment. Far
mers who count their acres of grass and grain
by twenties, fifties and hundreds, cannot only
afford to own and use the most improved la
bor-saving machinery, but Wll find it nearly
indispensable. In many instances, two, three
or more farmers can advantageously unite in
the'purchase and use of mowers,< reapers,
horse rakes, threshers, &c. i
As lo the precise lime of culling grass and
grain, ihere are various opinions, though il is
now generally conceded that both should be
cut before fully ripe. Meadow hay inlended
for winter feeding should never be allowed to
stand until nearly matured. Many of our
best farmers cyt their grass when in blossom,
or soon after that time. By culling during
the period of infloresence, and curing prdper
ly—using from one to two pecks of salt per
ton, according to the use to which the hay is
to be applied—excellent winter food for stock
will be secured.
The advantage of cutting- wheat early—
from one to two weeks before fully ripe—has
been argued and demonstrated, and is now so
generally conceded that we need not recapitu
late testimony in this connection. The re.
suits of carefully conducted experiments, con
clusively proving the great advantage bf cut
ting while the berry is soft, have been pub
lished throughout the land, and yet hundreds
of farmers annually allow their wheat to stand
till nearly “ dead ripe,” and then raise a tem
pest because help is so scarce, end their crops
about to be half wasted or ruined !—Rural
New Yorker.
How to Mend a Chain Pump. —The
chain with its plugs, you know, is an endless
one, going over a pully at the top, down out
side the pump into the water in the well ;
then over a pully under the water at the low
er end of the pump lube, thence up the tube.
Now if the chain/parls, it is difficult gelling
one end over the lower pully and' up thb
other side, unless you lake up the pump to
do it. Take a strong string of. sufficient
length to reach from thebottom of the lower
pully to the surface of the water in the well;
lie a cork to one end of it and tie the other
end to the chain. Then winding the string
around the cork put it into the tube, and let
the chain fallow it down. As soon as it
gets down under the pully, the cork will rise
to (he top of the water in the well, from
which it may be hooked up. Tl)e chain will
be hauled up with the siring, and the two
ends may then be fastened together in the
usual way.— Me, Farmer.
To Clean Fkatuehs. —Take for every
gallon of clear water, one pound of fresh
made quick lime, mix them well together,
and let it stand twenty-four hours, then pour
off the clear liquid. Put the feathers into' a
tub, and pour over them enough lime water
to thoroughly cover them. Stir them briskly
and rapidly for a few minutes, and leave them
to soak for three days. Then remove them
from the lime water, and thoroughly rinse in.
clean water, and spread to dry. They will
dry better where a draught of air can rfeach
thbm ; and should be spread very thinly, and
frequently moved, until they are quite dry.
This plan may be 'used, either for now fea
thers, or for such as have become heavy or
impure by age or use.
To Remove Masks Fbom Tables.—Hot
dishes sometimes leave whitish marks- on
varnished tables, when set as they should not
be, carelessly upon them. To remove it,
pour some lamp oil on the spot and rub it
hard with a soft cloth. Then pour on a lit
tle spirits, and rub it dry with another cloth,
and the white mark will disappear, leaving
the table as bright as before.
To Irsuhb Health fob Childben.—
Give them plenty of milk; plenty of flannel;
plenty of air, and let them bavh plenty of
sleep ; and they will seldom; if ever, ail any
thing; That Is, milk is their best diet {‘they
must be warmly clothed ; most be much out Of
doors; and must be always allowed to sleep
on until they awaken of their own accord.

Among the approved Stoves of the age I am thoroughly convinced that the KING
OF STOVES is truly named-, and must take the lead of all Elevated Oven Stoves. The
principal advantage claimed in this, over all other stoves, (Elevated Ovens in particular,)
is in its diving or reverting flues, the exclusive right of which is guaranteed to the subscri
ber by Letters Patent from (he United Slate?. There being two currents of sir passing up
and down at, the same time on each side of the oven, perfectly enveloping the oven in a
current of hot air that cannot escape qhort of traversing a distance of about twenty feel, all
told, making - '
that can be desired. It has a perfect draft and flues easily cleaned out. There is n dam
per so constructed as to give a direct draft where -heat is not wanted for bakjpg or
warming. The amount of heat is immense for the quantity of fuel consumed. The Four
Boiler is properly a Village Stove, and works well with wood or coal. You can get a
meal for ten persons in thirty-five minutes, with seven pounds of dry maple .wood. Its ap
pearance is grand, and it is a very pleasant stove to do work with. It is vdry appropriate
for large sitting or dining rooms, and warms with less fire than any parlor stove. ' The
Six Boiler King works equally well, has more capacity, and is adapted to the wants of
large families rfSd public houses. This is, in truth, a FARMER’S STOVE.
What canN jou desire in a Stove that cannot satisfy ? If you want capacity for do
ing large business, you have it. If you want to warm cold houses or large rooms, it’can
pot be beat. Draft good, and will burn much or little wood os may be necessary. If
want to enjoy the greatest blessing that science has ever rendered accessible in the shape
of a Cook Stove, buy the King.,
The King of Stoves is, in fact, what the name indicates. It is the Chief'of Stoves.
It does possess (he long sought combination, the principle of the Low in the position of the
Elevated Oven. If you want a direct draft for boiling, you haveljit. It you want the re
vertable flue oven for baking or warming, turn the damper and you have have it in its
greatest perfection.
1 also intend keeping a large assortment of Low Oven Cook Stovqp, the most suitable
for this section. Also, ns fine an assortment of Parlor and Box or'Plate Stoves as has ever
been kept in Northern Pennsylvania. Ido say boldly, that 1 will not be undersold, and it
is certainly to my credit to deal in none but the most approved of stoves." I take pleasure
in showing my slock at all times, if 1 cannot sell.

r JPHIS Medicine hns proved, and will prove
an unconditional Pain Destroyer in ail ctfsca,
whether External or Internal. Hence it bos recei
ved the appropriate name of “ Deaih-to-pQin."\ It
. has, by being kept on hand by families who know
its value, been the means of saving money* and of
ten life, by its timely use in sudden attacks, and in
case of accidents. In all bruises and flesh wounds
this Dealh-to.pam is the best embrocation‘that can
be found. The soreness is immediately extracted
—swellings reduced—ond profuse bleeding stopped.
A single dose will case Hie most severe griping pains
in the bowels, and a few applications will ease the
severest rheumatic and nervous pams. Dyspepsia
and its train of diseases is driven from its strong
fhold. “Fever and Ague, 1 * in the language of a
western agent “can’t'stand before old Leddy and
live.” Indeed it is so with nearly in
the catalogue. A Mediciae for the Million!
The remedy is composed of a large number of
articles, all entirely vegetable, each a remedial agent
in* itself, jet so united as to form a most powerful
combination, pnd to take away one of these agents
would materially detract from Us merits. One ,
and Hie most ’powerful, of those articles,is a root
procured for this medicine only fromjthe island of
Tuumago, in the South Pacific, called
TAYU, OR LIFE ROOT!
It is used by tho natives in almost every disease,
and tho secret oi its virtues was impa rtedlo the
proprietor by a native.
