His face was a mirror upon .which she could read all' his thoughts and feelings.:, He wanted to succeed— he wanted to conquer the enemy, and he wanted help. He knew his' weak ness,,and he feared that In the hour of his sore distress, his wife's kindness would fail him. She read it all—all this and much more as plainly as could be spoken. At that moment she could not, had she tried, haVe spoken harshly. When be came to her so humbly and beseechingly for help, she could not cast him off, and it cost her no efforts to put her arm around his neck and say to him. "John, fear not for me.

Things were reversed since his long illness, she took the driver's seat and the reins. As for Do6bin, the faithful old family horse, he was a slow going horse at the best, such a horse as old ladies like to driVe, and the Deacon's wife was verging on to sixty. "Mother's hair was really beginning to turn now,"- Jane, the eldest daughter said. (Jane had gray hair herself) and so it was ; but " mother," blessed good woman, didn'o- care. She had lived a spotless life, and the peace of her soul had given to her face a sweetness of ex pression that was better than beauty. " Deacon, are you warm enough ?" Mrs. Gray always called her husband deacon, but now there was a peculiar intonation of tenderxisss in her voice, never very musical. " 0 yes, I'm comfortable. Dear r Alear, how sweet the clover smells. $ I didn't know as the scent would evercome to• me again—Martha, when lay there in the in the south chamber choking for breath." 1 " Never mind, deacon, e won't talk ofr the past now. See ncle 'Biah's rabdder, don't it look spl ndid ? And the corn er there, why, t's growed a sight se a esterday. La! do see Dr. Baird's le trees, don't they look beau tiful ?" I " Everything looks beautifdl, Mar tha," said the deacon, a light ,breaking over his rugged somewhat hard face. " So it does," and the .good' woman's eyes were lifted to the'sky, across which the softest, whitest clouds were floating, with a motion so airy that they i seemed i like spirits of the upper ether" taking forms of grace and beauty: . .: " Don't care about stopping an where, do you, father? asked the deacon's wife, as the old horse jogged along. • `! Well, yes, guess we might 'as well get' ut at old Joe's in the lane. " Old Stie's," exclaimed Mrs. Gray, aghast, ",aren't you afeared ht'll worry you, now you're so weak, deacon?" ' `! Well, no, I guess not, Martha, he's a poor critter, and—and you know I feel different now about such things.— Forty years of healthgoes nigh to hard enin' a man's—heart ; Martha," and he pighed as he spoke. - . So Dobbin was reined in at the head of the lane, and Mrs. Gray, making herself a crutch for the deacon, went towards the homely little house, over whose door, poor and lowly though it was, the honeysuckle wandered, full of sweets. "If I everdiii ! Here's deacon Gray, a comin' !" cried Joe's maiden sister, smoothing her hair. • " I don't want to see him," cried Joe, moving uneasily on his bed. " Good morning, and how are you all?" 1 It was Martha's cheerful voice, and Joe could not choose but turn, and when once his faded eyes caught sight of the deacon's altered face, they stayed there fastened by the new expression of pal lor—of tenderness that rested on those weather-beaten features. • " Joe, I didn't know as we to of should ever meet again," said the deacon, hold ing out his hand. " I've thought of' you every day since I was on my, sick bed. How hard it'must -be for you to stay there month after mouth*:" Joe's lips trembled a little. These words rooming .from_ a man who had more than once reproached hini with shiftlessness and shamming, touched his heart. fi-r 3 " Well, yes, it's' sort o'.h " he-an swered, "but I spore I'll ilftV to bear it. There's them that's -- vu, off, r • I guess." -. " What can I do for you, Joe?" asked le,deacon, his voice still soft with that strange teudei ness. "Is there anything you'd like? Is this bed soft enough ? Perhaps you could. use my pick chair; it-wheels about and you might go to the door, or even outsidein it. You're wel come to it, Joe, only say the word. And anything in the - way of jellies, or deli cate things that you'd fancy to eat,• and books or , papers lif you'd, want 'tem.— Don't make a stranger of me, Joe, send to me as you would to a brother." " But you know I ain't a brother, I ain't one o' your "kind, deacOn, " Never mind." said DeficOn Gray, as sedulously avoitling an argument now, as before he had plunged into one, " never mind what your opinions are Hjust IletW ; the Lord ,sees, and may be e'll Bring you , around to my way o' thinking yet.• What I am after now, is to make ; the body comfortable:- .

There ware tears in her eyes, but Ole bustled about, looking thlS:way and that, tucking the big shawl over the deacon's knees, and pressing him, snugly , back, as if she feared a gust Of strong spring wind might blow him aivay.. 0 t but in her heart it seemed as if she had never felt such a wealth of tenderness: One thing this good but severe , man had, lacked, was now, al most by a miraele, it seemed; wrought into being, and Vad taken its lodgment in his heart.

' But you see God knew whatl. needed.' Stop Dobbin, Martha there's poor StePhen's little lame boy wonder if something cannot be done for him?" So Dobbin was stopped, and the , child gladdened with a kind word - and a handful of coppers that set his face to shining with delight and surprise, bring ing tears to the good wife's eyes, for children had rather avoided the dea con, isterling man though he was. I'll see if that boy can't be helped," the deacon went on: "I've heardthat, if his father could only 'afford 4, there is a place where hr might be. cured. He is a fine little fellow, and , it's a shame to see him go stumping through life!" • "Shan'tWe turn round, now, deacon ?" said hie •wife. "I think I'd like.togo toTom•Blake's; . he's another cripple, and more likely_to be worse than better." • . "But deacon, you hadn't heard, I suppose. The truth 1.9,r poor Torn has been taken to the poor 2 houße." "Marthy, is that Bo?" cried the dea con, the old sternness coming back to his face. "It is so. He grew so bad that they couldn't find any one willing to be bur dened with him, so they just put him there:" "I've heard him Say many's the time, he'd rather die than go there. Poor Tom !", "Yes, it was vvy'hard." "We'll drive tt'*re Marthy2 l There was another refolding of the shawl, after' the,good woman had turned Dobbin's dull head in Ithe di rection of the poor-house. The arm' went in, leaning on the - arm' of his Wife, and was led directly to tbe room of the old man, Tom Blake. Tom looked askance at the' deacon, front whom he had taken many's long sermon—for Tom was as near an infidel as thtit other godless' man, poor Joe— then,.at the sight- of fps pale, mild countenance, the old map faltered, he put up his thin hand, tnrned aside his face and burst into team "TOtn, I'm sorry to see you here," said the deacon, placing -his withered hand on the old man's shoulder. "I'd rather you'd seen me .in my grave. Deacon Gray," sobbed the old man. "But I won't die here"—a look of "'defiance crossed his features—' , lt shan't be said that Tom Blake died a pauper. No sir. I'll crawl on my hands and knees at the last gasp, and I'll find strength to do it, too, out of this pauper place." • Tom, you shan't stay here," said the deacon, resolutely. The old man looked up. His face was pitiful to see, all dabbled with tears. "No Toni, I know how you feel.— . When I Was choking in that awful sick rkess, I would have given worlds, if I had them, for one breath." "Yes, and I'm choking-in here; every - mouthful I eat chokes me." • "You shall come out, Torn ;• be pa tient and bear it as well as you can, you shall come out. If nobody else'll take you, /'// take you myself." "O; God bless you, Deacon Gray ! God bless•you for a true Christian, " cried the grateful old man, tears of joy falling from his dim eyes. "I used to say hard thiggs about yon;7' Deacon Gray, because you tried to make me a better man, but the seed you sowed is `there; deacon, and if it takes root and ripens, it will be bedause I see your faith and your works go together. You've made a hew man of me. God bless you; `Deacon Gray. Old Dobbin took a quicker step on his way home, oats in prospect. As for mother Gray, the way she kept patting. and tucking that old shawl, looking up every now mid then into the Deacon's gray eycs with a love that made her old face quite angelic, was a treat to see.— And for, the deacon, he thought to him self that he had always held religion as one would an ear of corn, ignorant of its use ; but now, Christ bad taught, him how to drip off the husks; and taste of the sweetness, and any one looking at him might know he . had had a feast.— Watchman. 1.- [l.or The Agitator.] Fioneer Histoiy of Sullivan Township THIRD 4'APER After a time, as the country became t more settled, a posteffice was estab lished on the " State road." Hen Rue was4pointed postmaster. He filled the- un office with credit to fas f, and sati4action to all for a number of , ears. He le still living, to enjoy the oo veni— ences and improvements time hasirfade. The first flour mill was built by Noah Ruinsey and his sons. When' he first came into Sullivan, as he had no house built, or faim selected beforehand, he stopped at the first plabe that 'pleased his, or his wife's fancy. He took the boards of his wagon box, and made with them a temporary shelter for him self and family. During the night there arose a terrific thunder shower. This completely exting, '.l. - . their fire that they had made for prttection against wild beasts.{ i • The thunder and lig g thing, added to the suite that was in. itself enough to frightefi and dismay the most coura geous. But they 'were not easily dis couraged, although sickness and want visited their humble home many times. He built the first house in Mainsburg, and was for ti,couple of years the only settler there` His wife, one afternoon, about four o'clock, went to his brother's, who lived a mile and a. half off, to procure some mills for their little child. She stayed somewhat longer Wan she intendbd, so much so, that it was becoming quite dark, when she Started.home. She had proceeded but a few rods, when, turn ing her head, she saw on one side of her just out of the bushes, what appeared to her to be' two large " balls of fire." k luila It frightened her a d sha ran ; but still they kept pace wi hex.' Finally be coming 'considerably ed, she com menced singing hymnsnd psalms.— These she continued all the way, but with no apparent result? as shifsaw the " balls of fire" all of the time. At last she came to the conclusion that it must be a witch. At that period of tune the people were very much ex cited on the subject of witchcraft; and she being an unbelieverin anything su pernatuta4, thought that she should cer tainly lie •'obliged, after this, to, change her opinion. When she ~hat; nearly reached home she had a bridge to cross. Were the trees were chopped away, and the moonli,ght fell on the water, illumi nating every thing with its silvery light. She crossed WI a bridge, and hearing soinetliing, , SteP:on the boards, looked around, and saw a huge' panther, who had evidently followedilier the whole distance jionie: She, 7 ,rnstistaking his glistening 'eyes — , for " ballS of fire." The panther on seeing her looking at him, jumped from the bridge and with an unearthly scream.fied into the woods. Mr. and Mrs. Rumsey are both dead, leaving a 'large family; to revere their memory and perpetuate their name. I BwrromAnTE.
