"Io, Fanny, have some fire made," said Mr. Tavlor to Lis wife; "lam almost perished."" "Fire!" she repeated. 'Yes, fire," said he. "I am Bare it's cold nongh. My teeth are fairly chattering." 1 It's rather chilly," she replied, "but the grates are cleaned and the summer blowers up; I can't hare a fire made." "Oh, nonsense!" urged her husband. "What if the grates are cleaned? Do ring, and order a lire." . Hut the young wife never stirred as she answered, ''It's out ot the question, Charles. The chimneys are closed up." "Pshaw!" said he, impatiently. "What on f arth did you have the chimneys closed for? Tom can take the filling out, though, I suppose," he continued, as be moved toward the JbelL "No, indeed, he can't," interposed his wife, quickly. "What are yo thinking of? He'll raise such a dttst! And, besides, I can't have a fire made, indeed. The paint is still fresh, and the whitewash scarcely dry; and when thing-) are once cleaned fires make such a dirt." "Then I do wish you would not have things cleaned till the necessity for fires is over," said her hrfsband, somewhat vexed. "Kat tou are always In such a hurry with your housecleaning," he continued, pettishly. "1 do detest the sight of a pail of water. I am sure the house was clean enough before." 'Clean!" exclaimed hi wife. "I don't know what you call clean! I am sure I was ashamed to receive a visitor, it looked so smoky and dirty. Cut you men seem to have no perception of dirt," she continued, almost contemptuously. "And it's not so cold, either." "Then what are you wrapped in that great shawl for?" answered her husband. Oh, it is rather chilly, certainly. A ' heavy rain like this makes it cold, of course. We are liabie to such storms in midsummer," she replied. "It's an absurdity to close up the grates at th:s season," muttered her husband. "At this 6eason, Chariest Why, it's not cold. Only look at the peach blossoms," she continued, pointing to the tree in the garden in proof of her assertion. "Well, I wish I were a peach blossom," he rt plied, "if they are insensible to the weather. Since I can't have a fire, however, I'll put on my overcoat." "Do," she replied. And he left the room, and returned presently, buttoned up to the chin, as if prepared to brave the elements on a pedestrian excursion. He thrust his hauds in his Dockets and walked up and down the room; while his wife, drawn up almost into a knot, seated in a large chair and wrapped in a heavy shawl, seemed qnite aa chilly as himself. "Now this is too ridiculous, Fanny. You may have been ashamed to receive h visitor be lore things were cleaned, but I declare I should be a great deal more so to be caught just now. How yon look in this great blanket! And I can t say I think this futian coat particularly becoming or suitable for boutc wear," he said, stopping and looking at himself in the glass. "No one will come in such weather," she replied, perfectly satisfied as to there being n char.ca of their being caught. But to iree'y had she spoken when there was a d t ided ring at the bell, which betokened something more than an errand boy or postman, and a shuffling was heard in the hall as of aa umbrella, etc., and presently in wad ushered a visitor. "Ah, Harrington!" exclaimed Mr. Taylor, receiving his guest with great cordiality, "wjien did you arrive?" "Only ttiis morning," replied the other, "and wishing to see you particularly, I thought I should find you at home such a stormy afternoon a3 this. Singular weather tor May," he continued. "It's more like November." "It is, indeed," replied Mr. Taylor, somew!iat embarrassed, and looking ruefully t .ward the empty grate. "Fanny, dear, I think you might manage that fire place so that we could nave a fire." Rut Fanny looked annoyed, and hesitatingly said, "I am afraid it will only make it smoke." Wheredpon Mr. Harrington protested with chattering teeth that he was not at all cold, and begged that no fire might be kindled on his account. There was no concealing the fict, however, for the whole party looked blue; and after a somewhat short and decidedly uncomfortable visit, Mr. Harrington took his departure. "He did cot stay long at any rate," said FanDy. -No, indeed," replied her husband, pettishly, "do you suppose he'd stay and shiver here when he could get away? Poor devil! I do b-lieve he'd have got an ague fit in fifteen minutes more. I declare, Fanny, I was mortified." "What on earth brought him here?" said Fsnny. angry with .the man for coming and being uncomfortable. "People have no right to visit in such weather! And what a quantity of dirt he has tracked in!" she continued, with infinite vexation, "mr beautiful new matting will be quite spoiled. He might at least have wiped bis feet at the door! Dear me, and the hall, too! How hii umbrella baa dripped all over it," and then ringing the bell, she ordered the woman to bring flannel and pail, and wipe out all traces of the offending stranger, which operation she superintended herself, fretting tbe while, and feeling the whole as a great hardship. It was happily through at last, however; and as Mr. Taylor sat opposite to his wife at the tea-table, somewhat thawed by his second cnp. he said, "Fanny, I must ask Harrington to dinner." "Must you?" she replied, with a sort of depreciating assent that implied that if the n(cessity were not very urgent, she would rather dispense with tne pleasure. "Yes," he answered; "have you any objections?" No." she replied, reluctantly. "Only I must take down the silver, and it's all so nicely put away in whitening and leather. "Why can't Ton take it down?" inquired her husband. "Ilecause be can't." she replied. "I never let anv one iro to my pantries but myself. Xo if you must have him, I must do it my self." Mr. Taylor seemed annoyed at the idea of giving her what was apparently so much trouble, and yet more annoyed at not treating his friend with hospitality, and he said, "I do not see why you can not let one ot the servants do it." " because I can't, Charles," she pursued, with a true woman's answer. "If you must Lave him, that's enough." And bo tbe subject dropped, though the, husband hud a sort of uncomfortable feeling that be was doing something selfish in being

still on "hospitable thoughts intent," in spite of his wife's evident reluctance to it; while she on her part felt aa if there was a world of trouble before her, and thought of all her lanipe with her fresh wicks, etc. In fact Fanny took things hard. Krerything in housekeeping was a labor to her. She trusted nobody, she was satisfied with nothing. Servants were her "natural enemies," flies her torments, moth her corroding evil, and all the minor ills of life, miseries. - She had been married about two years and wanted to be, and thought she was, a very good housekeeper and eo she was, if having everything as bright and nice as labor and care could make it is good housekeeping; but if the terra is meant to go a little further and include comfort, and as much of happiness as depends on domestic details,' she woefully missed it. When her husband came home of an evening wearied with the toils and cares of the day, and would gladly bare refrehed himself with a little female gotsip and lively chitchat, she generally greeted him with a arave. anxious face, and a long story of some petty domestic annoyance, the history of some housmaid who would make up the third story before the second, or use tbe brooms and pails of either indiscriminately; and the man servant, who, spite of all she could do or say, had certain ways of his own ot arranging his pantries, that were a source of bitter complaint "Well, dismiss them," said Mr. Taylor, impatiently. "Where's the use?" she answered complainingly; "they are all as bad, one as another. I spent a week in going about making inquiries before I engaged Tom, and he had first rate recommendations and yet you see what a torment be is. He is so obstinate;" and then followed such a list of Tom's moral delinquencies, that the only wonder was that Mrs. Taylor was able to keep him for a day. If Tom's story could have been heard, it would probably have been quite as earnest, and perhaps as reasonable; in which Mrs. Taylor would have figured as tbe most pertinacious and exacting of housekeepers, "interfering," as Tom thought, "with what did not concern her, for if he did his work well, he bad a right to do it in the way he liked best" So no doubt a silent struggle was going on, on Tom's part, as well as his mistress's for human nature is not all on one side nor perfection to be bought for any stipulated sum, let it -be what it will, per month. "Where is Mr. Harrington?'' she asked the next day, -when her husband returned to dinner. "He was engaged to-day," he replied, "and I asked him for to morrow." "Oh, how provoking!" she replied; "I thought vou meant tohnngjiim to day." "I did," ho said. "But if the man would not come, I could not make him, you know. But what difference does it make?" "A great deal," she answered, evidently much annoyed. "I have had the dinner tible set up stairs to-day, and wanted to get through with it" "Well, and I wish you would have it so every day. Fanny," said her husband. "You know I hate the basement, particularly as you never will let me bring a stranger down there." "Now, Charles," she said, imploringly, "how can you ask it? During the winter 1 am very willing, but in summer, with the flies, it is out of the question." "Then, when we have strangers, let them dine down there," persisted her husband. "Oh! that will never do." she replied:

"the room is nice enough for us when we are alone; but as Jo admitting company there, it is impossible." "It is very hard." he replied, with some vexation, "that I am not able to ask a friend to dinner when I wish it" ."I am sure, Charles,'.' she said, tbe tears starting to her eyes as she spoke, "I never object to your having your friends when you wish it You are very unjust" "If you don't object, Fanny, in bo many words," he answered, pettishly, "there's al ways such fuss made about it thatitamounts to the same thing." "Fuss!" the repeated, much hurt. I don't know what you mean by fuss. 1 only want to know when you expect company; and that, I am sure, is reasonable enough." "Rut I tell you I don't always know when myself," he replied, impatiently. "Well, you need not be angry at my asking," she persisted. "I am not angry, ' he replied, in a voice that rather contradicted his words. Tears were now falling fast from his wife's pretty eyes; and, half sorry, half angry, he said: "Now, what is the matter, Fanny?" You are very unjust and very unreasonable." she replied, weeping. "Very unjust and very unreasonable, Fanny!" he repeated, in his turn both offended and hurt. I really don't know what 1 have done or said to merit such reproaches as these." "It is very hard," she continued, sobbing, "to be called fussy and unkind, because I try to keep things in something like decent order." "I did not call you either fussy or unkind," he replied. "Something very like it," she persisted, "you said " "1 said." interrupted he. "that you made a fuss with having dinner upstairs, and all that, when we nave company; and that is all I said," he continued, decidedly, and with some temper; "for you do make a fuss. But I never said you were unkind,for that you ever are." Fanny, in the midst of her tears, saw that her husband was in earnest, and felt that she bad better not push the matter any further, or he might be provoked to assert his will even more decisively, so still bent upon having her own way, she dried her eyes, and only said. "If Mr. Harrington dines here to-morrow voa had better ask Mr. Morgan to meet him." "I will," he replied, glad to turn the conversation. "Come, dinner is on the table." And they sat down, both rather sorry for the discussion, and resolved to be agreeable and good humored for the rest of the day. But when people's tempers have been ruffled, and their spirits exhausted, it is not very easy always to recover their usual tone immediately; and Fanny, spite of her efforts, could not be gay, while she still heard the word "fussy" ringing in her ears; and Mr. Taylor did not forget at once that he had been called "unreasonable and unjust." So after several vain endeavors at conversation, she fell into a languid silence, and he threw himself upon the sofa, in hopes of a nap until the evening paper came in. No further allusion was made to Mr. Harrington or the basement room. Fortunately a friend or two came in during the evening, and it passed oil tolerably cheertul, though Fanny still went to bed with a weight at her heart, the exact cause of which she could hardly have told, while the long breath she drew at intervals sounded so like a sigh that her husband felt each as a gentle reproach to himself. Thus, with youth, health, meaas sufficient and not a serious care upon earth, our young housekeeper often contrived to feel as sad and make ber husband look as gloomy as if some real misfortune were hanging over them. 'The Hazards are going to break up housekeeping," said some female gossip one day while dining with the Taylors. "Indeedl'said Fanny. "What is that?" "They are tired out," replied her friend. "I am not surprised at it," said Mr. Tay lor, "mere s no com tor t in it" -"Not in keeping house as Mrs. Hazard does," replied the lady. "I never saw a house in such a condition." "Ah!'' exclaimed Fanny, to whose taste this bit of gossip was peculiarly suited. "How was it?" "Oh, she attended to nothing," replied her friend. "Everybody did iust aa thev deased. The servants cleaned when they liked, or left it alone. Mr. Hazard brought in com nan v at all times, and if they had a good dinner so much the better; and if thev had not they did cot seem to think it mat

ter of any cor sequence. I never saw people who took things so easy. If any contretempts happened, which of course they would with such housekeeping, she only laughed. And I really believe there was not a whole set of anything in the house that matched." "A charming way of living," said Mr. Taylor. "I wonder Hazard wants to break up." "Well, it was a pleasant, easy sort of a house too." continued their guest; "but Mr. Taylor," she added, smiling, "you can hardly expect us ladies to take the trouble to be good housekeepers if you admire such ah establishment as Mr. Hazard's, It is really putting a premium upon bad housekeeping, and you would not find muoh comfort in that, I assure you." "I should like to try it at any rate," he replied with a mixture'of truth and playfulness the t jarred terribly upon his little wife's feelings. "For I must own," he continued, "that I am heartily sick of such housekeeping ' Indeed," he added, with an expression of earnestness that startled Fanny, "I am seriously thinking of giving up this house when the lease expires and going to board ourselv.es." "Ob, Charles!" she exclaimed, too breathless to say more. "Why, Fannie," he replied, "it is more flr your sake than my own that I would make the change. Your housekeeping is a source of perpetual torment to you, I am sure." "There are occasionally some annoyances," be said. "Occasionally?" he continued. "Why, I am sare it has been nothing but one continual string of complaints ever since we have been married- Precious little comfort have we bal in housekeeping." Fanny was fairly frightened. Sbe turned pale, but tried to ?augb, as she said, "And so you want to keep house like Mrs. Hazard, and not hive a whole set of china, nor a dozn glasses that will match?" "Bather that," he replied resolutuely, "than slave yourself and torment me as you do with keeping everything so nice, if I must chose between happiness and order, I should certainly say happiness. Comfort seems out of the question in either case." "It's to be hoped they are not incompatible," said the lady, laughing; but seeing that the conversation touched Mrs. Taylor deeply, and that her voice faltered and she could with difficulty keep from tears, she changed tbe subject, and gave tbe history of some wedding, the lengthy details of which would at any other time have interested Fanny much. Bat now she could scarcely listen with even decent attention. What her husband had said bad sunk deeply in ber mind: "That be' had had no comfort since he had been married!" words that might well weigh heavily on any young wile's heart, and she pondered them in silence, and wept passionately over them when sbe was alone. "I will go to Mrs. Ashland." sbe said to herself; "her housekeeping seems to go by magic, and I will aik her how she manages," and so she went the next morning to Mrs. .Ashland, who was an -old friend she had

known from childhood, and to whom, not without tears, she laid open her whole heart and all her troubles. "My dear child." said her friend, smiling kindly, "you are a very young housekeeper that is all." "Well, dear Mrs. Ashland," said Fanny, "tell me what I must do. How am I to manage? I want to make my husband happy, but at the same time I should like to have something like order and comfort around me. Do tell me how you do." "In the first place, Fanny," said Mrs. Ashland, "if you take my advice you will never tell your husband of any of your petty domestic annoyances. He has his own business cares and troubles, and wants to be enlivened with cheerful conversation when he comes home; and, from your own account, it seems that you pour into his weary ears all your little complaint), which sound like something quite serious to his already fagged and jaded spirit, when, after all, they are out tbe merest trilles, which it would be better for your own happiness if you dismissed from your own mind; but to treasure them up to repeat to your husband is really an act of more than folly." "There is a good deal in that to be sure," replied the candid Fanny. "But when I feel so annoyed and provoked as I am half the time, I can not help letting him see it" "But, my dear, persisted her friend, "you must not feel so. With youth, health, means though last, not least a husband that you dearly love, what right have you to let trifles prey thus upon your happiness?" "But your housekeeping goes on so quietly," urged Fanny, "that it is very easy- for you to say so; but if you had such plagues as I have " "And, pray, what plagn.es have you," said Mrs. Ashland, smiling, "that I have not? Servants are of the same flesh and blood that you and I are, Fanny is not that all? You surely can not expect perfection out of human nature for ten or even twenty dollars a month." "Put they are so ienorant and obstinate," replied Fanny. "If they would only mind, I would not care for the rest" "Perfect obedience is the most difficult of human virtues, Fanny," returned Mrs. Ashland. "Don't you think if we had the reverse of the medal we might hear complaints equally bitter, and perhaps equally just, ogainst mistresses?" "Well," said Fanny, "perhaps so. But your house is always in perfect order yet you take everything easily. How do you doitr "By not exacting too much," replied her friend. "By keeping a general superintendence, but not interfering too much with my servant. If they do their work faithfully and well I let them do it in their own way. And, above all, Fanny, the little contretemps we must all meet with easily. We have real misfortunes and serious troubls enough to encounter through the journey of life, without creating them for ourselves in difcontented tempers and unhappy households. Tbe first object of good bousekeep ing is comfort, and comfort implies quiet and ease. But, above all, my dear child, don't let little things loom into great ones. One must put uo with much and pass over mnch to get through the world happily." Fanny took the advice, and has never reg re ted it The IneomloK Wheat Crop. llllinols Agricultural Statistics. The condition of winter wheat is generally good, and many of the principal fall wheat counties report the most flattering promise of the growing crop. The weather since seeding has been unusually warm, with frequent showers and very propitious for the most rapid growth. The growing grain has been but little injured by insects or other unfavorable conditions. Some localities report having been visited with the Hessian fly and chinch bugs, and a few correspondents express fear of jointing, on account of rank growth. The favorable resultsattending the growing ot winter wheat the past two years has created unusual interest in its cultivation. Many of the theories concerning tbe causes of failure for a series of years to grow a fair crop of winter wheat in certain lacalities have been exploded by tbe aboundant harvests realized the last two years on lands supposed to be exhausted of the plant food necessary for successful wheat culture. Ihe acreage of wheat, as reported by assessors, Is somewhat less than the estimates made by the statistician of the national bureau of agriculture, and published elsewhere in this report The assessors' returns show the acreage in wheat for the state, which includes spring and winter, as follows: 1873, 2,558,080 acres; 1874, 2,433,050 acres; 1875, 2.007,275 acres; 1876, 1,824,224 acres. This department estimates the crop for 1877 at 1,977,745 acres. The area of winter wheat for the coming crop, as ahown in accompanying table, is 2,032,843 teres; an increase of 303,547 acres, or 17 per cent, as compared with the 1877 area of 1,729,290 acres. Assuming that the acreage oX spring wheat will be no less than In 1377,

the total 'acreage of the next (1878) sprirg and winter wheat crop of the state will b at Itast 2,281,392 acres; as compared with 1.977,745 acres in 1877, an increase of 303,547 acres, a fraction over 15 per cent C05DIT10S OF TBK GR0WI5O CROP.

Among the many anecdotes apropos of the recent negotiations current in tue world of clubs, there is a story going which illustrates the old proverb about the disadvantage of 'combining inaccuracy of statement with shortness of memory. During the beisht of the ministerial crisis an eminent Russian diplomatist was going about everywhere assuring his English friends that the terms of peace put forward by his government were wonderfully moderate, and that there was only one point to which England could possibly take exception. As in duty bound, the depositary of this diplomatic confidence begged to be informed what the point i-n question was, and was made acquainted with its purport under the pledge of secrecy. These confessions were repeated to half a dozen confidants, who in due course of time met together and naturally begaa to beast that they were in possession, on the very best authority, of the terras of psace as well as of the solitary point about which difficulty might be anticipated. As of course each confidant believed himself to be the only person acquainted with the secret they soon commenced to dispute as to its precise terms, and it soon appeared that the diplomatist had, through a lapse of memory, given each one of his confidential friends a completely different version of the single condition which could not be absolutely relied upon to command the approval of England.

An exchange thus expresses It: "We want a religion that banishes small measures from tbe tradesman's counter, pebbles from cotton bags, sand from sugar, chicory from coffee, alum from bread and water from milk cans. The religion which is to save the world will not put all the big strawberries at the top and all the little ones at the bottom. It will not make one half a pair of shoes of good leather and the other half of shoddy, so that tbe first shall redound to the maker's credit and the second to his cash. It will not put Jeuvin's stamp on Jenkin's kid gloves; nor make Paris bonnets in the back room of a Boston milliner's shop; nor let a piece of velvet that professes to measure twelve yards come to an untimely end at eleven and threequarters.
