Mr Wife Lucie. To begin ith ..ho w.ss v-;ry pretty. I don't know where to show yon another just like her. She was ttr-ight and round in figure, w"t a fair face, goUVn hair and soft ultite hands. She had brown eyes, rej,,ii.'.r ft-atar-.M and mobfle red" lips. On a rainy day certain fine tresses of Iter shining hair would escape frojn the remainder and curl boat her temples in little gold tendril rings Her voice was qniet and melodious, and she wore violet dresses. This is as veil as I can describe her. 'And I aiu afraid this is about all I knew of her when ire were married. We met firt out West. I was alone in strange country. She, also, -was alone, Sh was a mus:c t?acher, living in a bonrdit'g hour. She was gentle and and. I made her acquaintance. I loved )pr. I promised to make her happy and we were married. My W siern tour being ended, we came back East and settled at a romantic little place called Daphne DelL We bad bten rcarritd juht a year -when my story co.naiinc s. I was rouug, ju&t starting in life, and very much engrossed in my business. Neither was I a particularly demonstrative man, and, as Lucie was very quiet and composed in mien, I think we hardly appeared like newly-married people. I had oil confidence in nty wife. It was her neatness, frugality and good judgment that won me, as well as 'her beauty. All home affairs the employment of a servant, and bills I left entirely to her management. It was a great rest to leave my counting-room and return homeward, for I was sure to find everything right. If Lucie had any annoyances site never confessed them to me, and I never took home mv business trouble. As I' said, we had been married a year, when one evening I came home as usual. It had been a fine day, but as I left the ears a great drop of rain

-r- splashed on my nose. I had ten minutes wnlk before me, and commenced the task rather briskly. ; Daphne Dell was within half as hour's ride of tha city. I had thought it better ngy health to live out of town, and 1 'Ji-4Rrn 'to me, at least, it was infinitely pleasaai-jr. Lucie, too, hsd seemed to like the place. She came and examined it before I made the purchase said that it was pretty and would do very well. The rain came down- smartly as I reached my garden gate. As I entered . the sitting-room, I found Lucie hurriedly puttiog away souvj papers. "The rain is blowing up from the west. Yon had better shut the parlor windows, Lucie," I said, as I went to s. the cloaet to hang up my coat and get my dressinggown. 1'es, W2L" she said, absently, rum- , maging in a drawer. The storm" struck 1 sharply against the pane. She went and shut the parlor windows and then came back to the drawer. When she looked the drawer through she looked over the table, and finally went to the escretoire. "What are yon hunting for, Lucie?" said I. "Never mind," she 'said carelessly; J guess it -will come. Supper "is ready, Will." We went out to tho dining room. She poured my tea, and chatted of her garden and the incidents of the day. Khe ' had planted mignonette under the win dow tha : its fragrance might come in to her while she was sewing, she said. The Misss Granger had called, and the man had been to graft the pear trees. Pleasant ordinary chat that suggested nothing of the mystery to come. The rain continued all night, but the morning was clear. I felt myself a

very htippy man as I stepped from my door into tho balmy spring air. The tulips were in blossom, and the crocuses

niicd the whole garden with their fragrance. I walked leisurely alomr

the path, unlatched the gate and went

i. out-. A few step distant, under the orchard wall, lay a sheet of paper. It looked like something that should not have been there, and I went and picked

n up. It was a single square sheet of unruled paper, and the handwriting upon it was my wife's. As I looked at it a word here and there caught my eyo. With r euted attention, I commenced a careful examination of the sheet. : With some difficulty I read as follows : w "My riEAHEST Iebct: Your entreaties and mv n; n heart will not longer allow me tn remain fi ent My beloved, I ameo miserable! The e clandestine letters of yours which I receive an my only comfort in the wo: Id. I feed on them live on them.

Bnt it was Lucie's fine, delicate chirography, and I felt as if a thunderbolt had broken t.round me. After a raomen';' blank bewilderment and strange, bewildering pain, I put the sheet in my rocket and quietly continued my way. Such a flood of emotion was stirred v.-ithiu that I summoned a superficial cohr ness from an instinct of solf-preservatiin. I was conscious of one predominant feeling as I we it to the city hatred against my wife for her duplicity. I must have looked wretchedly when I reached the oflictr, bnt my partner was too much excited to notice it "Krtowles," he exclaimed, "there was a terrible fire in Philadelpltia last night, and our branch house is burned to tho ground. Here is a dispatch from Weiss. He wanis you to come on immediately." In two hours I was oil My way io

Pbiladelphht.

There was mu-n to do to restore our interests, and I lant myself to the work with all my energies. It was the best thi-,g that could havo happened to me. It gave ia no time to think of Lucie. I wrote her once, telling her very briefly that I should not bo at home for a month. It wis six weeks before I aain arrived- at Daphne DelL The maid was washing the hall. "How do you do, Dorcas? How is Mrs. Knowles?" "Very comfortable. I think she is sleeping now, sir." Somewhat bettildered by this reply, I went into tho sitting-room. No sign of Lucie or of her work. I mounted to the chamber and quietly opened the door. The room was darkened. Lucie was sitting tip in the white bed nursing the infant. Sweetly and calmly she extended her hand to me. I went to hei I put my arms about her I kissed her. I could not help it, for I felt that the child upon her bosom was my own. The nurse cams in, took the infant from her, and bfde her lie down to rest. She was very weak. I cannot ex

press my contending feelings as I

watched her frajie face upon the pillow. Slowly she g&vned strength. It was midsummer- before she was about the house again. The little oue had been prematurely born, but it throve, and the mother's health was finally restored. I was rejoiced at this. I should have been perfectly happy but for the letter. The memory of it was like an ugly devil that moct'd me. One day as Lucy sat tending her child in a low chair by the window I laid the sheet before her. I had fixed my eyes upon bar face, and saw a slow surprise dawn uaon it. "Where did you find this, Will? I

lost it months ago."

Under the orchard wall. W liat does it mean, Lucie?'' "Well," with a slight blush, "you have found me out. It's a leaf from a story I was writing." "And Percy" "Was the hero. The sheet must have blown out of the window that rainy night last spring. Ton see, dear, I don't like to tell you, because I thought you wouldn't fiincy having a literary' wife, but I had been accustomed to writing stories, sometimes, and when I knew baby wan coming I thought I would earn the money myself for the embroidered ilanncl and cambric dresses. I knew you needed every cent in your business. I had to rewrite this letter for m-- romance," she continued, "and I didriT! get it quite the same," examiniag the sheet. I looked at her sweet face for a moment, and then fell down on my knees beside her. T confessed all. Slow amazement dawned in her countenance. At length her soft eyes filled wjjh tears. She drew my face down to her bosom where the httlti baby was slumbering. "Another lorer?" she murmured. "Why, Will, no jody but you ever loved me' in all my lile!" Then, again, I knew that she was once more my Lucie !

To Remove Paint. One evening there was a tea-party at the residence of a deacon, and after supper the gentlemen went to the smoking-room, and smoked and told stories while the ladie visited and exchanged pieces of silk neckties and ribbons for making silk quilts. The men got to talking about the ohanges that occur in people's lives in few years, and each had some illustration in his own experience. The young minister-had been a quiet listener, and smoked his oigar in a dreamy sort of a way, and when they had all had .in inning telling stories, the doctor said to the minister : "Elder, you must have noticed, as much as any1ody, tho changes that time brings. Can't you tell us something fnnny in your experience?" "I was just thinking," said tho older, as he threw his cigar stub, in the cuspidors, and took a fresh one and lit it, "of something: that happened to mo last winter in Chicago, and I will tell it to you to illustrate how added years bring intelligence to the most of us, though it cannot bring I orgetfnlness, and to illustrate also how a man may be reasonably smart in knowledge of the world, and not knowunough to keep his mouth shut at the proper time. About twenty-five years a?o, when I was 8 years of age, my people lived in a little town, and I was allowed to run loose about the neighborhood. Yon wouldn't believe it to look at me now, but I was a terror. That is, I was full of fun, 0, so fall. I was up to all sorts of mischief, and my good father and mother feared that I would never amount to much, and I -ness they few it now, but that is neither here nor there. Among my playmates was a little girl of my own age, a bright little thing with blue eyes and brown hair, and a dimple in

her cheek If I was a terror she was a terroress. Si5e could climb a fence quicker" than I oould, and outrun me and wasn't afraid of anything, and we wore tho best f rionds you ever saw. Her namo was Susan. One day we were playing in tho back yard, barefooted, and something induced us to go into her father's barn; In looking around for something td nnvuse us, I found a couple of pots of paint that hor father had been using about tho house. Ono pot was red and the other green. We took the brushes and painted the stall in the barn red; and one wheel tif hor father's wagon green, and finally she suggested tbut we paint our feet; So I painted ono df her feet green and tho other red, ant? she painted mine, and then I rolled up my pants and she painted clear rip to my lcncos, and then she got jealous becnuso T had more style than she did, and so I painted her togs also, Imt I striped them, tho stripes of alternate

green ana red running around liue a barhs-polc. Being a girl, wo argued j that it was right that slie should be , more gaudy than me. Y'ell, I have j seen beautiful paintings since, and have j done a little, with the brush since arriv- j ing at man's estate, but I have never j seen anything that gave mo the satis- i faetion, as a work of art, that the work of that afternoon in the s'udio of the ; barn did. I have seen marble soulpt- : nre of the human form divine, in the ! galleries -of the old and now world sinco, but I have never seen any- j tiling that could hold a candle to the landscape that I painted on I

Husan. She was so tickled that she had to go right in the house and show the chromo to her mother, and it was not more than a minute before a solitary horseman, about 8 years old, with one leg green and the other red, might have been seen goring over a pioket fence just ahead of Susan's mother's mop. I got home alive, and presented a picture to my mother that she had never seen in hor wildest, dreams. Paint everywhere. And she warmed me, and Susan's mother across the street warmed her, and us two young artists mingled our cries across the dusty street. I need not dwell on tho weeks of agony wo endured in having that paint removed. There was some sort of dryer in the paint that made it dry and shine, and it seemed to penetrate clear to the bone. At least it did on me, and I suppose Susan was made of the same kind of clay. Any way, all the time we lived in that town after that, Susan wore stockings, and I judged she was having the same trouble I was, being washed every night in benzine, until I almost wished there was no such tlung as being an artist. I had almost forgotten the circumstance, in a busy life, until last winter I was down to Chicago to a missionary condition. There were delegates from all over the country, and many of us took our wives. Ono evening, after the business of tho convention

was over, ?here was a reception at the residence of one of the directors of our society, and I was introduced to the wife of a brother minister. There was

something about hor eyes that seemed

sort of familiar, and finally she told me who she was, and, as sure as I am smoking this 5-cent cigar, it was Susan. Well, we talked about old timen and , old friends for a long time, and of tho good work her husband was doing out : West, but for the life of me I could not ' keep my mind off of the paint. Hero . ehe was a grown woman, the glorious byes she had in youth were even moro beautiful, and her smile was enough to oreak up a prayer-meeting, but I could , snly see her as she looked when I pot j through painting her. Becoming familiar, I finally said: 'By tho way, Susan, ; I would like to ask yon one question,' ' and she said, ' Certainly,' and I allowed my eye to twir.kle a little, and I asked: j " 'Susan, tell me, did you ever get that paint off your ! "'Sir!' said she, her whole frame , showing the greatest indignation, oud j just then a bald-headed preacher came ; up, and she turned to me and said, J ' This is my husband. Husband, this is an old friend of my youth, one who j knew me when we went barefooted i together.' " 'All, indeed, glad to meet you,' said ' the brother. 4 My wife has often told j mo about how you and she used to han- j die the paint brush aud transform ' nature into high art, and, oh, she is j gone.' I looked around for Susan, and ( she had taken tho arm of another min- '

ister, and gone to tho refreshment room,

and before L could see her again she had gone home, and I never saw her 1 after. But for several nights my dreams ! were filled with visions of band-painted i articles, barns, indignant mothers with brooms, benzine and sweet oil, and a pair of the loveliest eyes that ever wero seen. But here is my wife with her ! things on. What, time to go home? Well, good night, but for goodness j sake, gentlemen, don't say that I told . you about that paint business." Peek's i Sun. New Cure for Balking Horses. It is thought that a new cure has j boon discovered for balking and crib- I bing horses by tho application of eloe- j tricity. A gentleman of Baltimore, i -who lias a horso subject to balking, i placed an electric battery, with an induction coil, in his buggy, and ran the wires to tho horse's bit and crupper, , and as soon as tho horse came to a ! standstill the current was turned on, ! and, after the horse was relieved of his shook, it is said, ho proceeded without j showing any disposition to balk. Tho samp application was successfully made to a horse who indulged in cribbing, whereof ho was soon cured ' through the unpleasantness of tho i electric shock. Those who havo balking or cribbing horses may give the j foregoing a trial. The Baggage-Check Racket. A new trick of thieves to got posses- : sion of a traveler's baggage is to borrow j a baggage check of a man in a passen- ' gor car for the purpose of opening the : catch of a seat so tint tho seat can be ! turned over. The unsuspecting travel- ' er lends tho check, and the borrower fools around the seat with it, and hands i back another ono in its place, and the ! owner of tho cheek never knows that ho has l een fooled until he gets to his dos- : tination and goes after his trunk, when . he finds the other man has got it. Then . he goes out on the platform to got a : breath of fresh air and swear half a string at himself. When a man wants to borrow a baggago check in a car give ; him a soft answer. Tell Mm to go to Cheyenne. Peck's Hun. If you think it is right to differ from : the times, and make a stand for any valuable point of morals, do it, howev- ' or rustic, however antiquated, however pedantic, it may appear; do it, not for ' insolence, but seriously, as a man who wore a soul of his own in his bosom, ' and did not wait until it was breathed ; into him by the breath of fashion. 1

FARM NOTES. The practice of running hay through tt hoy-cutter and reducing it to as short pieces as possible, and then mixing with corn and sending to an ordinary grisliinill to bo ground into provender for poultry has been followed for several years by certain breeders with good l'csult3.f,7i fVflto Journal. It has boon discovered that potash for potatoes does liltlo good unless applied early and thoroughly mixed with the soil. This mny indicate either that tho potato plant needs the potash in its enrlicr stages of growth or that the alkali serves other pnrpoxes in developing plant food in the soii, which requires n longer time. It is probable thnt emtio potash is rarely or never

used as plant food. As it absorbs ni- j trogpn aud becomes a nitrate of potash I .its virtues become available for plant nutrition. ' The Jmeru nn Fa rmer advises every j farmer to keep a rod measure a light, stiff polo just sixteen and a half feet-!

xiiE i((fi'rniiir gives we ituuiniug recipe for ridding sheep of tick : For i 100 sheep tako twenty -live pounds of : common coarse tobacco and put it into j as many gallons of boiling hot water, ,

just taken from the inv. !-tir it occasionally until cold, when tho contents should be strained. Add to the strained liquid six pounds of soft soap, dissolved in three to four gallon-i of hot water.

Then add to tho wholo compound so I . . , , . ... ri , ii. 1

mucn com water as win iuuko me quantity l00 gallons, which should bo contained in one or two largo tubs, into which the sheep are dipped and wrung out, meanwhile taking cure to hold tho head of the sheep above the fluid to prevent the animal swallowing any of it. The process is, of course, best done after shearing, but it should be remembered that the ticks which are not killed are apt to invest the lambs, whereforo it may be necessary to also clip those. There is no profit in keeping a hog until it is 18 months old, and, although such an animal may possibly reach tho weight of 400 pounds, the heavy weight will not compensate for the food consumed. A pig farrowed in April and slaughtered about Christmas will more

than return his crat, for it must In' taken into com-i h-ration that during , that period ho will be but a pig, and tho earlier feedings small in qnnntity. He j should weigh 250 pounds when killed,! especially if a grade Kssex or Berk- !

shire, and tho carcass will contain a fair admixture of lean aud fat. A'ery large hogs arc very often only lit for the lardtubs, and very often only for tho soapmaker. The quality of the meat influences the price, and the difference of only 1 cent a pound amounts to quite a sum in the whole. The profitable hog is the ono that is grown quickly, fatted without delay, and marketed liefore it begins to consume tho food laid up for winter. Eastern E.rchanue. The short-horn retains his position as the most numerous, most widely-distributed and popular breed of improved cattle. Other breeds havo grown in favor, and this again seemed to be losing favor. 35ut there aro more of the breed, and it has more friends than ever before. Its long-continued popularity wrought evil as well as good. No other improved breed has suffered so much from following "fashion," by breeders. The great demand has caust-d tho use of many animals for breeding purposes which should have gone to the shambles. Its highest type is the perfected beef animal, and it is by far the best exemplar of the possibility of combining in ono breed fair excellence in beef-making and milk-production ; while no other breed has yet proven itself so successful in improving other and inferior breeds when crossed on them. Of tho first rank in si.o aud early maturity, of quiet disposition, fattening readily, with care in selection and management, Above the average in milkgiving, the Short-horn moro nearly meets tho wants of the averago good farmer ou rich soil than does any other.

Me. Jasjks L. Ino u.thk, a Now Yorker, in a recent address, said that the plow of tho present, day is too slow. The horses ordinarily used aro too light, and heavy horses and oxen aro slow. A plow-point costs considerable money, and only one-twentieth can bo nsed ; the rest ist sold for scrap-iron. A good plow should cultivate a width of from twelve to twenty inches, carrying tho rider, and automatically passing obstacles. Weeds are now turned under put into silo for preservation instead of being left at tho surface to decay. Nature puts all fertilizing matter on the Mlrl'ace. We, with tho plow, turn all manures under aud cover them with sub-soil. An implement is needed whivli will line and pulverizo the surface without inverting it, leaving all nitinurial matters at tho surface, where tho elements can disintegrate, them aud prepare them for plant food. Instead of turning down the seeds of weeds to bo turned up rgain after several years, perhaps then to germinate and give trouble, tho proper way is to let them remain at tho surface, when they will germinate quickly, and Ihe young plants all bo destroyed at once. How to I'hE Puri.TUY Manure. Tho questions how to prepare and how to apply th:s home-made fertilizer havo frequently been asked and tnisweivd through your columns, but no ono has as yet hit upon the met hods I have adopted with successful results. I will detail iny practice briefly: 1 gather all tho manure 1 can from the poultry bouse, turkey roosts, etc., and store in barrels until spring. A week or two before planting-lime it is dnmprd on tho barn floor, with about 100 pounds of ground Nova Seuthv duster to tho barrel of mni'nre, thoroughly mixed and occasionally turned over. The plaster tends to soften tho hard lumps, and also dries the moist portions. Having a oiuvhorso troad-p:wer and an old rejected undershot threshing cylinder, I send the mass through, and if any coarse lumps pass I rake thorn out with a garden rake and pat through again. I then mix about the same bulk of dried mnck or other rich soil with it aud turn over several times before using. I uso it on corn at time of planting. Experiment having demonstrated that the

A Special Providence for Surgeons. Tho accidents, fortunate amd unfortunate, that have occurred within the practice of colebratod surgeons, about whose skill there can bo no two opinions, would fill a volume. Dupuytren plungo-.l a knife into a man's brain and relieved him of an abscess iu that situation, snatching him from the very jaws of death; yet ho killed a patient whose shoulder-joint he had set by lanoing an aneurism in mistake for a simple gathering: and for every such accident which has happened probably a hundred might bo found, were tho truth known, that have been prevented only by what we are accustomed profanely to term "sheer luck" or "chance." I was once elinioal pupil -of a great London surgeon one who even then was quoted universally as the greatest authority on the disease of which the case I am going to relate was an instance, and whoso pablio appointments had long testified to the general recognition of his talents. In one ward of the hos.pital he had a patient who, he told us, was suffering from an abscess in tho region of the hip ; carefully demonslratin.3 this to us, as he was wont to do, and explaining how such a disorder was to be diagnos..,d from other things with which a want of duo precaution might cause it to bo confounded.
