I slug to you about a man whoa memery
long should last;
HI name was Hiram aforsthangood, ha
lived la Nottoofaat;
mat tho' to save his native land h sever
drew a sword.
He was what all hit tenants called a mighty
fine landlord.
Whene'er a tenant chanced to break a pane
or two of glass,
lie never used to storm and rave or mur
mur out "Alas!"
But he would go and buy soma more, in
. sunshine or in rain.
Or If It was at aero, and have them set
. again. ;
No matter If In room or hall the paper
ahould get torn.
He would not, as -some landlords do, com
plain from night till morn:
And If the paint got scarred and soiled, the
Drat thing be would do
Was aend and have the painter come and
paint the house anew.
No matter If a faucet froceorlf got clogged
a drain.
It made no difference to him; be never
- - would complain.
And If a tenant abort of wood should burn
- the cellar stairs,
He always thought It sweet delight to
make such small repairs.
And If a tenant should neglect to close a
swinging blind,
And It should be thrown from Its place by
the tierce winter wind.
And tumbling to the walk below some
passer-by should kill,
He would not say one unkind word, but go
and pay the bill.
And ere the morning light broke forth he
from his bed would rise.
And not with thunder In his tone nor anger
In his eyes.
But with a rosy shade of Joy upon his man
ly face.
Would to the tenant go and give a full deed
of the place.

KT UBBIN RIDGE lay sweltering in
N the hot Juos sun. The fields of
sickly corn gasped and wilted; the
patches of parched wheat and oats rat
lied mournfully as the hot winds swept
over tbem. .Nubbin Ridge at bestiuade
poor return for the labor put upon her
barren sides; and when nature refused
to be lavish In dispensing her moisture
the harvest was distressingly meager.
Mrs, Louise Long sat in the doorway
of her cabin and looked out along the
Ridge. Everywhere the rows of yellow
stunted corn or patches of dead grain
met her eye and filled her heart with
dismay. It seemed to her that their
own llttTefarm'was tho worst burned
up of alL' She turned to where her
husband crept along the rows of cotton
As she followed bis slow movements
back and forth across the field a kind
of resentment runt Into her bosom
toward him.
, "1 , don't koow whatever possessed
him to settle or the old clayey Ridge,"
she complained, giving way to her
feelings. ""It seems to roe some men
are born shlfless, an' they jest rotate
to sbif'less land the valley wouldV
V come any dearer. Little he oan ever
promise hisself or family; but it's jpsi
Itldge or starve. An' there's that ng
gervatin' old hen an' ber chickens in
the garden scratchin up the lust bean.
1 don't know what'H become of us, an' "
having once got started she was sure
to drift on to her two pet causes of ir
ritation, over which she periodically
worried herself into the bed "an'

his bands on fer tobacco, an' tbe chil

an' dissipated; that's jest what I cnll
it. It's downright sin, nebcin' a church
member, to throw his money nwny
chewin' of the filthy weed there's
tbem pigs rootin' up the potatoes. It.
jest seems everything is ngin us. The
next thing It'll be a cyclone blowing
our bouse away, or an epidemic kill in'
off the children; an' it might ben provi
dence, fer if things get much worse
they'd be better off Oh, myl it seems

drop of cold water to cool my tongue.
Anybody's that lived on Nubbin Ridge
In June an' can't sympathize with the
rich man that lifted up his eyes ain't got
k spark of Christian charity. Relieve
to my soul I'll melt;" and she mopped
her fuce with the tinder side of ber
apron, as she shifted her position to
take advantage of the breeze that float
ed lazily along tbe Ridge, and vigor
ously plied her turkey-wing fan.
"I could put up with it all an' never
n word, if Ilenry'd show auy disposi
tion to give tip bis extravagant and
filthy habits. (Join on ten years since
tve moved to the Ridge, and if he'd put
half the price he's spent fer tobacco in
s well we'd 'a' bud witter fer the Ridge.
Lord o' mercy, yondcr's that bull of
liickson's brenkin' in the corn. I have
enough to worry the soul out of Job."
She chased the bull from the fence to
the strip of woods and came blowing
back, peering under ber bnml through
1he glistening beat toward her husband
In the field.
"Yes, u-restiu' an' no iloubl
l-chewln' of his quid. He was born
ibif'less au' tired."
The sun sank down through a cloud
less sky behind Nubbin Ridge, and the
great yellow glow that lingered In the
west gave no promise of rain.
Shndows had gathered thick in thr
vulley below Henry Long's little f.imt
when he stopped his jaded mule at the
end of the rows and began to take oil
the harness. He groaned ns he threw
his stiffened limbs across the mule and
urged him across the clods toward hi
cabin. He could see It In faint, ouMlne
against the grove of trees, ,
'"Lu's worried herself, Into a fever
g'ln," he thought, as hi observant eye
noticed that no smoke eurled from the
chimney, and missed toe gleam of tbe
Idtehen Are through the chinks. A
tlgh escaped him, something hard came
roub)ed.' Be gsvs the mule a dig in
the ribs, then regretted It mm the over.
orked beast groaned. As he turned
urn in the little woods pasture to "rus
tle" a scant supper in the brush he
rove him a few gentle pats in lieu of
tome more substantial expression of
rood wilL Tbe donkey burst into a
tired bray, whose mournful cadeuce
truck dire foreboding Into Long's al
ready troubled bosouu
The cows were writing at the bars,
tod the children cot having returned
from the Yields where they bad gone to
"chop" cotton, be thought to steal in
fter the milk vessels and not disturb
his wife. Hut that individual's ear was
lert. and. ns she caught the sound of
his footfall, the groans and muttered
suffering to which he gnve vent was
larraing.
Long stopped, listened, hesitated,
then stepped Into the doorway.
"Ln, 1 am afraid you have Hud an
other bnd evening;" and there was ten
derness in his voice. "Is there some
thing I can do for you before I go to
the cows?"
"Oh, me, I'll burn up! It rcems I'd
give my soul for a cool drink. This
dry IJidge will rn;i me distracted. I
nm scorched with fever, but the
thought of that nasty pool water turns
my stomach. 1 don't see why you
nitiatted on tbe old Itidge, anyhow.
I'd give the whole thing cabin and all
Tor n well of good water. If you'll
lake nu where I can get all the water I
ran drink. I'll take in wuhin an' board
you un' the children; un you can go on
spendin' all you make fer tobacco. Oh,
I know I'll burn up whatou top side of
earth can be keepin' th?m kids? Tears
like they know when I'm taken worse
an stay jest to worry me. Henry, do
hurry and get the work done."
"Now, Lu, donH yon let it fret you,"
suid long, conciliatiingly as if he felt
guilty, and must say something to ap
pease n just wrath; "we'll do the best
we can. You'll soon feci better, now
that it Is growing cool. I'll have one
of the boys go down to Stuart's after
some wader when tiiey come. Yes, an'
If you nre able, we'll go over to preach
ing Sunday, an' spcud the afternoon
with Sullivan; he lias tbe best water In
the valley, you remember."
He did not wait for the chafing reply,
but hastened out In the nlghtto the cow
pen. ' '
The following Sunday was a bright
day, and the Longs drove over to tbe
vn Hey church. It had been noised
abroud that at the conclusion of the
sermon there would be a prayer offered
for rain, and the houne could not ac
commodate the large crowd that, had
gathered. A few came to scoff, some
out of curiosity, a large number anx
iously hoping that the preacher's pray
er would be answered-. Tbe subject of
the discourse was faith, and tbe preach
er's) forcible arguments and apt illustra
tions mode a deep impression on tbe
congregation. When they kne1ed to
pray muny a fervent petition rose from
hopeful hearts.
The day at Sullivan's was a pleasant
one. Long's dread that his wife might
drift on to pool water and tobacco and
spoil the vUit for him abated as the
afternoon wore away, and there took its
place a feeling that some wonderful
change had come over her. In his
heart lie aicecrely wished that it might
lie lasting, but long experience taught
him to take little comfort in the hope.
He could attribute the spell to nothing
but the sermon of tbe morning. This
hypothesis was natural, for it had
wrought wonderfully upon himself. He
hud taken tobacco but once during the
evening, and then when walking
through the fields with Sullivan. There
was a stron.' resolve forming in his
bosom, lie bad made up his mind to
give up tobacco. He was going to ask
the Lord to help him; if be only would.
In the cool of the evening tbe Longs
drove up the clayey road that wound
along the side of the Ridge toward their
home. A bank of clouds that lay low
in the west turned to blood and gold as
they reached the summit of the hill. A
hopeful sign. They rode in silence.
V.uvh seevmcd to feel that something had
come over the other, and the result
was a pnsjrlng reticence. Neither cared
that the other should know what was
passing in their minds, yet they each
had instinctively guessed it. Louise
Long had determined to quit her nag
ging and fretting, and her husband felt
it. It would be u hard' trial and he
Would have spared her the sacrifice

picion of bis intentions and watched
bim narrowly as they drove along to
see if be took his accustomed quid. It
gave her a remorseful little twinge as
she thought of her browbeating, sharp
words and ingratitude. She wns forced
to mlinit to herwclt that he was a kind,
self-sacrificing husband and, although
not a good manager, had done the best
be could. She now repented ber harsh
ness ut bis show of reformation.
It was dark when the wagon rattled
t:p to the little cabin. An occasional
Hash of lightning illuminated the clouds
on the horizou.

Long awoke the next morning with a
brolibing paiu in bis head; his limbs
moved heavily and a feelingof lassitude

it his pocket for his tobacco. As his

then quit. His strength of purpose was

the place, and hurriedly dressed.
The day began still aud sultry, clouds
Ktill lingering in the south and west.
Tbe children were hoeing afield and
Long was plowing in the cotton. His
wifewas missing from her usual place
of espial in the doorway. After tbe
breakfast dishes had been cleared away
she picked up the hoe and began to
work Industriously in tho garden.
"It'll be of little use," she thought,
ns the hoe thumped on the hard ground
and rattled among tbe rocks; "but it
strengthens folks in their resolution, to
keep busy."
"Why. what's this?" she snld. pick
ing up something in the onions. "Well,
if It uin't Henry's tobacco." Her sus
picions were confirmed. She involun
tarily glanced toward the field; she was
just in time to see her hushnnd disap
pear In the brush down the side of a
ravine that ran nerossthe farm. "The
second time he's stopped this morning.
Ronirtthlng must be ailing him." She
stood leaning agninst the hoe. gazing
Intently nt the spot where he had van
ished. Five, ten, fifteen minutes passed,
nnd her husband bnd not returned to
the mule tbnt stood patiently in the
sun doggedly fighting the flies.
Her curiosity, not altogether un
mixed with fear, was nroused. She
dropped the hoe and. still holding the
tobneco, started under cover of the
patch of corn for the rnvine. She en
tered It nnd crept along the dry bod
townrd the spot where Long had disap
peared. Sho had made only a few yards
when she. stopped and liitcned. She
could hear a mumbling just ahead. She
was almost sure It was Henry's voire.
What could be the trouble? He must
be hurt, ami she could scarcely restrain
an Impulse to rutth to his side. What
she did was to crawl cautiously soma
yards further. Only a bush or two sep
arated her from her husband, and she
could hear him distinctly.
"Lord help me." he wn saying, "give
me more faith. I nm so weak; I've tried
so hard to quit. 0 Lord, give me
strength for Lu's snke. It worries her
sc to see me throwing my money away,
an' It takes from her an' the children.
O Lord help me help me!"
A deep rumbling rolled along the
west: hurrying clouds passed under the
sun. A silence fell for a time on tihe
ridge; then a breeze came sweeping up
tbe ravine that smelled of rain. Long
paused only a morn en t to listen to the
prophetic sonnds.' and feeling thnt It
was n propltlons time for a more com
prehensive prayer, he resumed: "Yes,
Ixrd. help, and If it be Thy will send us
rain. We so badly need rnln. Lord,
for Lu's sake and the children, send us
rain, ' O Lord, help me, help me give
up tne filthy stuff! And, Lord, if It Is
Thy will give us a bountiful crrrp; we
need another mule, we need some plows,
we need so many things; an', O Lord,
we so much need a well. Lu's health
Is poor, an she can't drink poor water.
0 Lord, give us a big crop, nn' for Lu's
sake give us n well."
Ijoiiisn fell on her face and cried out:
"O Lord, have mercy on me, a selfish
old sinner, nelp me. O Lord, to keep
from worrying, an' help me be submis
sive." She rose nnd pushed herwny through
the brush. Long heard his wife ap
prooching, ond, still on bis knees,
turned nnd fa"ed ber with an expres
sion of blnnk amazement.
"(let up from there, henry. I've
been n-hearin' you. an' I'm a selfish old
sinner, a-begrudgin' you the little sat
isfaction ye have from yourqtiid." She
stepped nearer to him nnd extended the
piece of tobacco. "Here's er tobacco;
1 found it in tbe onion bed where you
throwed it; if it's any comfort to you
takelt an' chew it, nu' I'll never open
my mouth in a word of complaint ag'in
ain't ye goin' to take it?"
Long had) risen to his feet and stood
staring at his wife nnd the proffered to
bacco. A tear rolled slowly down his
cheek, nnd he raised his hand and
brushed it away.
"Lu. you're too good; it's me that's
the selfish old brute." be began, husk
ily. "God being my helper. I'll never
put a chew in my mouth again until
you have a home in the valley and a
well of lasting water."
He took the dirty piece of tobacco
and hurled it far down the ravine. I5e-
fore it had reached the ground large
drops of rain began to fall on the
parched ground and splash on the dry
leaves.
"Oh, Henry, forgive me!" cried bi
wife, throwing her arms about his neck.
A terrific clap of thunder burst from
the clouds overhead, and following it
came a downpour of rain.
The tears rolling dowu Long's cheek
mingled with the falling drops as he
drew his wife into the protection of the
denser brush. N. Y. Independent.
