Quite a few of the farmers in this section cut oats Sunday, as they are so behind with their work. They thought they would take advantage of the weather and work on the Lord’s day. There are some fields of corn in this section that look fine, .while others look spotted and small at that. Oats is very light also and don’t promise near an average yield. But the pickles look fine and if the weather man will give us the right kind of weather we will have lots of pickles to gather.

HIS MOTHER.

Mrs. Arden sits in her luxuriant boudoir gazing Intently on her son’s picture, which rests on ji table,. wishing she could hear the sound of his voice echoing through the house again. She had cast him off because he had contracted a misalliance, refusing to hold any Intercourse with him. In vain be pleaded. She remained immovable. It is now two years since bis marriage, and, though she has often longed for his presence, she has never acknowleged it until now. Perhaps she might have remained estranged had it not been owing to the sermon which the minister preached Sunday on “Mother Love,” relating several touching incidents of sacrifice which mothers have made for their sous. What had she done? Disowned hedßon becaufiT he married a poor girl. What need of her being so bitter? If Jack loved the girl, why was she so obstinate? She resolved to search for him and bring him home. Two months have passed. Mrs. Arden has left no stone unturned to find her son, but to no avail. She fears she will be unsuccessful. Perhaps years may elapse before any account of him may be obtained. She is pacing the room nervously when Mr. Rymer, her lawyer, is announced. One glance is sufficient She steps forward, exclaiming, “You have good news?” “Yes,” replied Mr. Rymer; “I have seen your son, but did not make my presence known. He lives in G. and is employed by Wright & Carter as bookkeeper. I obtained my Information from Mr. Wright, confiding the story to him, knowing you will want him to come home with you. He is glad for Mr. Arden’s sake, but sorry to lose such an earnest worker. I also called on Mrs. Arden, but as a book agent, and I admire his taste. While their home is not luxurious, everything is cozy, and I am sure she is an excellent wife.” “Oh, Ikm so glad! Mr. Rymer, if I start immediately I could reach the house before Jack, tell his wife who I am and surprise him when he comes to supper, could I not?” “Yes; there is a train at noon. That is an excellent plan. You Will call tonight. Jack will be pleased to see you, and”— “I should like to see him. Yes, I shall call. Goodby!” Evening of the same day. Mrs. Arden has been at her son’s home two hours, long enough for her to agree with Mr. Rymer by admiring his selection of a wife. Alice, Jack’s wife, is unlike the Ardens, being small and fair, while they are tall and dark. Mrs. Arden and Alice have become the best of friends. They are awaiting Jack's arrival. When they hear bis footsteps, Mrs. Arden will step into the next room and await an opportunity for her appearance. “How the time drags!" exclaims Alice as she kneels beside Mrs. Arden, clasping her hand. “Dear mother, I am so happy! I long for Jack to come, knowing he but wished to be reunited to you to complete his happiness. Every moment seems an hour.” “What a cross woman I have been! But,” smiling fondly into the upturned face, “I did not know I had such a lovely little daughter.” “I guess you thought I wahted Jack’s money, but you know now, don’t you?” Her answer Is to take the, slender form in her arms and kiss her. Presently Jack’s footsteps are heard. Mrs. Arden steps into the next room. The door opens, and Jack exclaims: “Why, Alice, you look radiant! What is It, little girl? Good news?” “Jack, do I ever look unhappy?” “No, but you look extremely happy tonight.” “I guess happiness is In the air,” replies Alice, with a roguish smile. “Perhaps you may inhale some of it But be seated. Supper will be cold.” “Have you made a mistake, Alice?” asks Jack as he sees an extra plate laid. “For whom is the third plate?” A hand is laid on his shoulder. A voice which causes him to start says, “For me.” In less time than it takes to tell it Jack has exclaimed “Mother!” and clasps her so tightly she fears she will never be free, kissing her again and again. When mother and son have recovered their composure, Mrs. Arden tells him how her conscience rebuked het after hearing the sermon, and when she sat looking at his picture and long Ing for the sound of his voice she determined to find him and bring him home. Mr, Rymer enters at this point, and great is Alice’s, or, as he calls her, “young Mrs. Arden’s," dismay to find that “the persistent book agent" and the lawyer are one. Jack is delighted to see bis old friend. After greetings have been exchanged between smiles and tears Jack turnt to the group, saying, “Well, you all formed a conspiracy against me, but if all plots ended as happily as mine this would be a good world.” Within a week they have gone to live with “mother,” dispensing with their flat Jack’s mother is happier than she has been for years. “Young Mrs. Ar den" has a stanch admirer in Mr. Rymer, who thinks she Is charming. He and Jack are fast friends. Alice wonders why Jack should tell her bis mother was stem. For her part she thinks there Is qo one—excepting Jack, of course—so nice as his mother.—Boston Post

As One Sees.

“You don’t see Very clearly, do you, Mr. Ego?’’ said the sarcastic lady to the egotistic person. “Oh, yes,” he hastened to reply; "my sight is perfect the oculist told me only yesterday.” “Indeed!” smiled the sarcastic lady. “In some manner, don’t you know, I had thought you saw only with one I.” -New Yftrk Press. .
