A SPECIAL PBOYIDEXCE.

Hie theory of a

»|etkialprovidence

So. with a good position, good health correct tiabits, the confidence and good will of my fellow-men, and the love of tlte sweetest and dearest of girls, I ongh to have been happy—and 1 was.

wa« only oue obstacle to the perfect consummation of my happiness, and that was the fact that I was poor, and must of necessity wait a year before I coulc auk Nell to share ray lot with me. Bui Nell understood this and wax content wait.

In fact, it didn't occur to either of u* that we had any alternative but to wait so we were philosophical over the matter—and happy. One evening, as 1 .-a' in my room cutting the pages of amaga zine 1,-Wiiu going to take to Nellie, I heard a quick nip at my door, and opening it 1 admitted my old friend Hob Bowen. Boh an energetic, dashing, enterprising young fellow, with a good reputation ir every way, and remarkably clear-headed on bunineKK matters so when he remarked in hi* brusque, off-hand way, "Tom, I've got a good thing for 3 011." why, 1 pricket up my ears at once, prepared to aecep' the fact that he really had. "Now, Torn," said he, drawing his chaii up close to'me, "I'll be brief, for we havf no time to lose. A friend of mine luu the option of buying a farm, on which valuable vein of coal has been discovered for the pitiful sum of $5,000. Hiaoption runs out to-night at 12 o'clock. He ha? a purchaser ready to take this land of! bin hands to-morrow morning at 8o'clock for the snug little sum of $:K),000. Yov see the party thinka he already owns thf land. Now my friend as leen delayed in getting bin money. lie won't get it iftitil to:morrow morning—too late to dc him any good. So you see he has got have $T»,000 to-night. "Hut what tliis to me," naid I. "1 haven't any little f.'i.OOO to help birr with." "Of course not,'' said Bob "but here, my boy, my friend jffers to divide with me what he makes in this transaction if 1 will help him out, for he hates like thf deuce to IMJ beaten at the eleventh hour. Now, 1 want to help him. and if you will help me in a way that you can I'll divide with you, and before breakfast to-morrow morning you will have the smug sum ol $6 ,2r0. which may have the effect- of hurrying forward a certain happy day— ehV" and he nudged me playfully in the ribs, "Wry well said I, "conceding that would U* a very agreeable little sum to poHie«H, I am as much in the dark as eve) us to the help I can render—w "But, Torn," interrupted Bob, "let me impress one fact upon your mind. The money is wanted only until to-morrow morning at o'clock precinely. That is jus' as certain to occur as the sun is to rise. 1

1 wiw theinan who is to pay the money «uw the money. Now,Tom,you know lam your friend, and wouldn't do anything that is not ierfecMy straight ami honor able. Tom, you can have the |6,2o(' without doing anyone any harm or per petrating any wrong." "You mean," said I, coldly, for I was beginning to get at the drift of his scheme, that 1 could steal this money from the bank," "Nonsense, Tom," interrupted Bob "you insult me by supposing that I could hint at such a suggestion. Listen to my plan now. You know very well, Tom, that if you should say to the board of directors to-morrow morning/ my friend here wants to lorrow $5,000, and I will endorse his note for him," they wouldn't hesitate a moment in letting me have. it. Now, 1 want to borrow $5,000, and I cnn'i wait until the bank opens to-morrow morning.« I want it and must have it to-night. You can sign a note with me ft* the amount we will go to the bank and get, the money, leaving the note in the place of it. In the morning before the bank opens the note will be taken up, nothing done that has not been straight, business like, and honorable but you will be richer by $6,250. Now, if you can find any moral flaw in this simple little matter of business you have sharpei perceptive powers Hum I have.

Bob's reason began to look plausible. It was quit© true, as he said, that the board of directors would willingly loan him #5.000, but, after all, this business was a little irregular, and he didn't feel quite right about it. "Time is jasKing, said Bob, glancing at his watch, "and if you can't favor me in this little matter of business, I must try elsewhere, 1 am goiug to have the money to-night sure, and if you won't help me there are others that will. Why, Tom." said he, earnestly, how can you hesitate one moment? You have my positive assurance that everything is all right, I only ask you to do to-night what you wouldn't hesitate a moment in doing to-morrow. Then think of your duty to yourself—to Nell—* "Say no more said 1 "you shall have «he money.

Bob and I hurried to the bank, and after going through the form of drawing up and signing the necessary note, went to the vault to get the money. A queer, namotass feeling crept over me as I approached the door and seised the handle to work the combination. I gave the handle* the usual preliminary turns and then started to work the combination. To my grvat ruryrbe—to my horror I may «ay—I found that the combination was completely obliterated from my mind. I couldn't remember a turn nor a ligura I was as utterly helphsss as if I had never seen a ixwnbtnation lock ta my Ufa. I shut my eye* and rubbed my forehead. It was no use. The 00mbinatkm wouldn't come. It was something that never had occurred bcorfe, the combination being so ready in my mind

If you don't want to let me have the money, why say so, but don't resort to a subterfuge like that.' -It's no subterfuge at all," I answered, indignantly "you shall have the money if I can unlock the vault, but I declare to you positively that I know no more how to work this combination than you do.n

We sat down and tried to converse on other matters, but I couldn't help cud geling my brain to try to make it yield up that combination. But it was of no use my mind was a blank so far as those numbers were concerned.

There's no help for it, Bob," said I at length. "If 1113-life depended on it! couldn't open that vault at this time. Deuce take the luck anyhow. Six thousand two hundred and fifty dollars just within my grasp, and now to lose it, all on account of this confounded menta freak "Tom," interrupted Bob, who had been doing some serious thinking, "it may br all right. 1 confess 1 am a little super stitious ami what yon call a strange men tal freak may be something else—I don'» know what, but something seems to say, "Stop right here,* and 1 am going to Tom, I'll let the opportunity slide, and trust to time for further explanations.'

And we left the bank with the monev in the vault undisturbed. I went to bed still trying without success to recall that combination. 'I finally dropped off tc sleep, but awoke as the town elock struck 12. Just as the last stroke, died away quick as a flash the combination ap peared clearly in my mind again. "The time is up, "I said to mvself.

Was Bob right in his theory The next morning about 9 o'clock' wlic should rudi in Jhe bank but Bob. nisfacr lighted up with some unusual excite m^nt. Beckoning me into a private room he opened the interview by exclaiming "Tom. it was a special providence. "What on earth do you nuan, Bob?' said I. "Just this: By }Tour forgetting tlif combination we were prevented from being duped to the tune of $5,000. My friend was an innocent tool in the hand? of the most adroit set of sharpers it wai ever my fortune to en on liter. It war the most cleverly concocted scheme thf mind of mortal man ever conceived and plausible enough to deceive better and sharper men than either you or I. So say, Tom, you are under the care of a special providence, and you must be singled out for some great work in life.

Bob's theory began to make some impression ou my mind, but something happened afterward that clinched my belief. I called on Nell that 11 ight, for— would you believe ft—I hadtft seen fcbe dear girl for forty-eight hours, and it seemed as many years—when, after we had given testimony to the stability of our joint and separate affections, which didn't take more than forty minutes Nell remarked in the most artless man ner: "Tom, I had such a fanny thiug come into my head last night tlult I must tel' you of it. It was about 8.SO, and I couldn't for the life of me keep mv mind from running on the vault in your bank, and don't you think I even got to imagining 1 could work the combination Why, the figures came into iitv mind indistinctly that I jotted them down on a piece of paper, and here they are. Oi course they don't amount to anything, but I thought I would show them tc you."

I glanced at the figures she had jotted down, and almost gasped as I recognized the exact combination.

Jake Tannebaum. of Mobile, the well known theatrical manager was in tlie city a few hours yesterday, says the At lanta Constitution. He is just back from New York, where he spent the sununei booking for the Southern circuit, and of course has a fund of good stories at the expense of the people with whom he came in contact.

One of these is on Je&sel, the husband and manager of Agnes Herndon, who will be here next week. Jessel went to Tannebaum for Southern dates, urging as an inducement that he had a war play with, a Southern woman as the star.

~But wliat is your play?" asked Tan* nebautn. "What is the temper of it?"* "Oh, that's ail right—that'sail right." was tlve manager-husband's r«spo»we,f "I make the confederates the heroes."

He protested that his company was not big enough: but they wouldn't let a thing like that stand in their way— lie must kill off all the "sup®*.

tm Life and Health.

Farmers are the longest-lived of all the laboring classes, aud, if they lived up to their privileges, their longevity would be greatly increased. Tliere is no place like a farm for the children. Here the boys and girls have plenty of chance to play out of doore, to dig in the dirt, and bask in the sun, and to live close to nature during all the period of body-build-ing. In this way the foundations of good health are laid. Then, too, the farmer's work keeps him most of the time out of doors, and under favorable hygienic conditions. There is a variety in his employment which tends to harmonious physical development. He lias not,like the shoemaker or the blacksmith, to exercise one set or a few sets of muscles constantly, while the others shrink up from disuse^ Farm, life too. calls for constant exercise of the mind. The farmer who puts the most brain into his work is the most successful. Then the leisure of certain seasons of the year, and especially of the long winter evenings, furnishes a good opportunity for reading, study, intelligent conversation, and other means of mental culture. Farming tends to cultivate independence of character. The farmer is his 1 own master more largely than mast other classes of men. He has not to cater to the whims of the public, and it is susceptible of demonstration that these things favor health and longevity.

But there is a reverse to this picture. At certain seasons of the year—notably i^ haying and harvest time—the farmer is apt to overwork himself. He rises early and goes to led late. More than this, far too many fanners suffer at all'seasons of the year from serious unsanitary conditions in and about their housed, and outbuildings, such as darkened parlors, damp and foul cellars, unventiiatcd rooms, lack of proper drainage and disposal of waste, leading oftentimes to a contaminated water supply. Thesf things diminish vitality, and result sin rheumatism, consumption and typhpid fever. Worst of all. the fanner's

wife

suffers' from constant overwork.

druc *iry, and mental stagnation. She has cise

rttle recreation, little outdoor exerlittle rest from the eternal treadmill |)1 .household cares. The result is, that many a fresh and rosy-cheeke 1 girl wlit jntarries a fanner soon grows thin and pale, and worn and weary, breaks dow 1 in health while still young, and too oftef dies prematurely. How can this be wmedied? First, by better farming in general: better houses, cellars and outbuijpings. better farms and farmyards, bett ?r stock and cattle, better convenient ?s, and more satisfaction in life. See tndlv. by better care of health: by real sing that health is the result of obedier se to natural law and disease of its vioJ ition by studying to kuow that law, to ach and to keep it: and by laboring to I take the most and the best of life.— [At erican Agriculturist.

ch*ir.

In old times, when grain was threshed with a flail, farmers took special pains to save the chaff. It is more nutritious, and when free from dust, more palatable than straw. A certain quantity of chaff wa#mixed with the grain that was Mio horses. When machines were mtrwrafeed for cutting. hay. or straw into short lengths they were called "chaffing machines," and the cut hay was called "chaffed hay or "hay chaff." In other words, we cut up our hay, straw and stalks to take the place of chaff. The American threshing machines knock out the grain, clean it and carry straw and chaff together in a "straw carrier'" to a straw stack. There is no provision for separating the chaff from the straw. But the more conservative English farmers could not so rapidly change their practice of feeding, and insisted 011 having machines that would keep the chaff separate. And they got wliat they wanted. We do not want such machines here, for the simple reason that not one farm in a thousand has any chaff house, or place intended for keeping chaff. Nevertheless, it is well to know that chaff Is valuable, so that whenever we have an opportunity of saviug it we may do so.

The tinnulnc Kerosene Ktnulnlon. Professor C, V. Riley, entomologist to the United Stales department of agriculture, complains that several journals have published as his an incorrect formula of the emulsion which a few years ago he proposed as the most generally useful insecticide. The con*ect formula is as follows: Gradually add to kerosene half as much milk, stirring thoroughly until the two are perfectly combined, and no drops of oil are to be seen, and complete emulsion is formed. For use, one part of this emu'sion or mixture is added to twelve jarts of water, and thoroughly stirred. This is the usual strength, but if a stronger preparation is req uired use less water. The emulsion is applied by means of a garden syringe or a garden engine. It is of more importance to diffuse such application evenly than to apapply a large quantity. More attention should be paid to the char? ter of the nozzle that distributes the liquid. Some of the "spraying" nozzles are most effective. ,«

JSavs Peter Henderson, the noted seedsman: As a matter of economy and permanency, all green-house walls should be buflt of lc**ust posts to which are nailed first rough planking, then against which is tacked roofing or other paper used for lining against that again are nailed the ordinary weather hoards as a finish. A wall built in this way will last for twenty-five years except, perhaps, to renew the lower board, and in our experience we consider it a greater protection against frost than an eight-inch brick wall. In any of the Northern or Eastern States, where the thermometer remains for any length of time below zero, an eight inch brick waif will not stand, if raised even four feet above the ground for green-house work. The moisture inside of the green-bouse, together with the high temperature, begets a warfare with the SOD weather outside so that in a year or two the eight-inch green-boose wall gets completely used up,and has to be re-built.

LOVE OR DUTY.

Paul Fernleigh would have proposed long before, because he was very much in love but there seemed to be absolutely no opportunity, for popping the question. Mrs. Jessup was always on her way to the meeting of -sionary society, or writing letter*} ^directors, or sewing on flannel shift&j&pr the South Sea Islanders. What opportunity had an impetuous youth to speaV of love ?VfT "Now Judith." he said one day rather impatiently, as he entered her boudoir and found her writing letters to various committees, "you must hear me if you have to adjourn a dozen missionary conventions. I

"will have my answer. You

must make up your mind to marry me. "Oh, Paul, I can't I haven't time."' "Then take it. Let the Islanders wai. for their garments. We have a more important question under dicussion. "But Paul, I must not," declared Mrs. Jessup. resolutely. My life is mapped out already, I have a glorious future before me. And I am quite convinced that no woman who can do good on an extended and comprehensive scale ought to nairow herself down into domestic life. And 1 particularly think so since the organization of this Oceanic Orphanage, in F.orida. of which I am to be president.

He was an Oceanic Orphan, wasn't he?" said Paul disconsolately. Who was "This bald-headed man who was here last week." "OhIT said Mi's. Jessup. "Mr. Ponsonby Vane? He is the chief manager. We have accomodations for t»00 orphans 111 "Yes I know." unceremoniously interrupted Paul. "But that isn't the poiut. Do you love me, Judith, or don't you?" "I like you very well. Paul." "That won't do brusquely interposed Mr. Fernleigh. "I am not a man to put up with any woman's lukewarm liking. "Well, then, 1 might. perhaj»s, love you Paul, dear," confessed the widow, if my duty didn't call me elsewhere. I

"Certainly," said Mrs. Jessup. "Then good-by, Judith." Good-by," returned the widow, dipping her pen once more into thetiny alabaster standish.

Paul Fernleigh packed his trunk and started for Europe. "I'll cure myself of this love malady, or I'll know the reasou why.'' said he to "himself.

On the pu^ward-bound Reamer,4 however, whom should he stumble acrosSfjUt tlie lmht-heuded luaiv who luid taken p&ssage by the same line* "Hello!" said Paul 'Hows the Orphanage?"

The bald-headed man twisted and turned himself like an angleworm which had been accidently trodden on. "Oh," said the bald-headed man, "the Orphanage? Yes. Well, w—we've decided to give that up for the present. I'm going to Europe to read the best authorities on Co-operative Households now." "Come," thought our hero. "here's a chance for me. I'll go back aud see if Judith has any time to attend to me now.

He took he next steamer home. Aunt Patricia met hini on the thresh hold, dissolved in tears. "Oh, Mr. Fernleigh."* wailed she. "there's to be an auction sale liero^ today!" "What's to be sold?" demanded indignant Paul. "Everything! We are ruined!" sobbed Aunt Patricia. "That scoundr 1 of a Ponsonby Vane. ha« absconded to Europe with all the Orphanage Funds, and poor, dear Judith hasn't anything left in all the world."

Paul Fernleigh listened quietly* "Yes," said lie, "she has one thing left —my devoted love. Let me go to her at once."

Poor little Judith sat crying in the dismantled drawing room, where the damask curtains were piled in a corner and marked Lot 4," and the gilded reception chairs formed a minature "Leaning Tower of Pisa," on the marble top center table. "Am I in tlie way? she faltered, fancying that the footstep on the tlireshhold was that of the auctioneer.

No. Paul answ. red calmly, and tho next moment he had her in his arms. "Oh.Paul!" she gasped—"Oh Paul! I thought you, too, had left me!" "I will never leave you, lore," said Paul and he behaved as though lie meant it. •, &

They were quietly married the next day, and Paul Fernleigh, great-hearted man that he i*. has never once alluded to the "Oceanic Orphanage," except to remark, in an "aside," that it was the best friend he ever had.

And Judith makes the sweetest, meekest and least assuming of wives "I have had a lesson against confiding exclusively in my own judgment," *ha »ys.

A Broker'* Conscience.

The broker was in bed moaning with pain, says the St Paid Globe. Tlie lights were turned low. When the visitor entered tlte broker began: "My dear Jones, I liave had to-day another of the dreadful attacks I am subject to, and I am afraid this last one is going to do me up.' I sent for you to confess that I have taken advantage of you in a business transaction, and 1 want to make reparation before I die. The mining stock I sold you to-day is really worthless and it troubles me that It ok advantage of you. "Oh, nonsense, that is all rightsfe I didn't pay much for it and I can easily sell it to somebody else."

No. that will not do. I want to take it back and pay you your money kick. I can't rest until I have made this right" "Oh, well, if you feel that way, of course I will give you it back. "Very well, and while 1 am able to sign a check I will prepare one. and, in the meanwhile, you can brin^j the stock back."

The visitor went home, got the stock, and, returning it, received the check which the now utterly exhausted broker had filled out for him. He went home musing upon the vicissitudes of human life aud filled with profound sympathy for tlie sorrowing family of the rapidly sinking broker.

And the broker? The moment his customer was out of the house he leaped out of bed and gleefully danced around the room in a manner that would have aroused the envv of Carmenceta could she have seen it.
