The effect: was s imost magical, for, to my grateful m?riee.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1877.

MY HUSBANI’S SECOND WIFE. gdy husband came tenderly to my side. , : “ : "~ %Are you going out this evening, love ?” i e I looked down complacently at my dress of pink cx‘apezi dew-dropped over with crystal, and the trails of azaleas that caught up its folds here and there. A diamond bracelet “encircled one round, white arm and a little cross blazed fitfully at my throat. I had never looked better, and J felt a sort of girlish pride as my eye met the fair reflection in my polished mirror. “Come, come, Gerald, make haste! Wl)'y. dear, you baven’t begun to dress yet!” ; : o - Where were my wifely instinects, that I did not see the haggard look on his features—the fevered light in his eyes? : ; “I cannot. go to:night, Madeline; I am not well enough.” “You are never ‘well enough’ to oblige me, Gerald. I am tired of being put off with excuses.” He made no answer, but dropped his head in his hands upon the table before him. !

“Oh, come, Gerald,”l urged petulantly, “it is so awkward for me to go alone always.” i Lly He shook his head listlessly.. “I thought perhaps that you would be willing to remain at home with me, Madeline.” “Men are so selfish!” I said plaintively; “and -I am so well dressed. Claudie took half an hour for my hair. I dare say you'll be a great deal quieter here without me—that is,if you are determined not to go.” { No answer again. : o “Well, if you choose to.be sullen, I can’t help it,” I said lightly, as I turned and went out of the rocm, adjusting my boquet-holder, the tube-rose and heliotropes seeming to detail incense at every motion. Was I heartless and cruel? Had I ceased to love my husband ? From the bottom of my heart I believed that I loved him as truly and tenderly as ever wife did; but I had been sospoiled and petted all my life, that the better instincts were, so to speak, entombed alive. 3

" I went to the party and had my fill of adulation and homage, us usual. The hours seemed to glide away, shod with roses and winged with musicand perfume; and it was not until, wearied with dancing, I sought a momentary refuge in the hall-lighted tea-room, that I heard words wakening me, as it were, from a dream, ' e “Gerald Glen!” S

I could not be well mistaken in the name—it was 'scarcely commonj:lace enough for that. They were talking—two or. three business-like looking gentlemen—in the hall without, and I could catch, now and then, a fugitive word or phrase. ; - “Fine, enterprising, young fellow!” —“Great pity!"—"Totally ruined, so Bess & McMorker say!”’—*“Reckless extravagance of his wife.” And these vague fragments I heard; and some oune said, *And what is he going to do now ?” “What can he de? Poor rellow! 1 am truly sorry; but he should have calculated his income and his expenses more accurately.” - “Or his wife should. Oh, these women! they are at the bottom of all a man’s troubles.” I rose hurriedly up, with my heart beating tumultuously beneath my pink azaleas, and went back to the lighted saloon. Albany Moore was waiting to claim my hand for the next quadrille. | £ “Are you ill, Mrs. Glen? . How pale you look.” - ; . “I[—l am not very well. I wish you would have my carriage called for me, Mi. Moore.” For now I felt that. home was the proper place for me. ) Hurried by some unaccovntable impulse, I sprang. out the moment the carriage wheel touched the curbstone, and rushed up to my husband’s room. The door was locked; butl could see a light shining faintly under the threshold. ~ I knocked wildly and persistently. : | “Gerald! dear Gerald! for heaven’s sake, let mein!” ; miu Bl

Something fell on the marble hearthstone within, making a metalic elink, and my husband opened the door a little way. I had never seen him'look so pale'before, or so rigid, yet so determined. . : “Who are you?” he demanded wildly. “Why can not you leave me alone in peace?” . “It is I,- Gerald—your Madeline—your own little wife.” And I caught from his hand the pistol ‘he was striving to conceal in his breast—its mate lay on the marble hearth, under the mantle—and flung it out of the window. ‘ “I?)aar Gerald, would you have left me?”| , ] “I, would have escaped!” he cried, still half delirious, to all appearance. “Debt—disgrace-—misery—and her reproaches! I should have escaped all of them!” - :

His head fell like that of a weary child on my shoulder. I drew him gently to a sofa, and soothed him with a thousand murmured words, a thousand mute caresses! For had it not been all my fault® i And through all the long weeks that followed, I nursed him with unwavering care and devotion. I had but one thought--one desire—to redeem myself in his estimation; to proye to him that I was something more and highs er than the mere butterfly of fushion I had hithérto showed myself, = Well, the March winds had how ed themselves away into their mountain fastness, the brilliant April rain-drops were dried on bough. and spray; and now. the apple-blossoms were tossing their fragrant billows of pinky bloom in.the blue air of latter Maly. : Where were we now? . ;

1t was a picturesque little villa, not far out of London, furnished very like a maguified baby-house. Gerald sat in a cushioned easy chair in the garden, just where he could glance through the open window at me working busily with my needle. o “What an industrious fairy it is!” he said, smiling sadly. : “Well, you see I like it! It's a great deal better than those sonetas on the piano!” : - “Who would ever have thought that you would make so notable a little house-keeper ?” : I laughed gleefully; I had a child’s delight in being praised. “Madeline, are you not going to Miss Julia Delancey’s croquet party *” he asked." L r

“No, Gerald; whatido I care for croquet parties? lam- going to finish your shirts, and you’ll read aloud to me ?” : e LE

“Madeline, I want you to answer me one question.” ' o ; “What is it ?" | , “What have yoﬂune with yourdiamonds?” ' s / “I sold them long ago; they paid several heavy bills, besides settling half a year’s rent here.” S - “But, Madeline, you were.so prond of your diamonds.” : "~ “I was once; now they would bethe

bitterest rep;::ch‘ my éyes could meet. Oh, Gerald, I been less vain, and thoughtless, and extravagant—" - I checked myself, and a robin, singing in the perfumed depths of apple blossoms, took the dropped current of sound. e : “That's right, little red-breast.” said my husband, half jokingly, “talk her .down!.she has forgotten that our past is dead and gone, and that we have turned over a new page in the Book of Existencel: Madeline, do you know how I feel sometimes, when I look at you ?” : N : “No!” o i “Well, I feel like a widower who has married again!” P “Like a widower who has married again, Gerald ?” . ’ “Yes; I can remember my first wife —a brilliant, thoughtless child, without any idea beyond the gratification of present whims—a spoiled play‘thing! Well, that little Madeline has vanished away.into the past somewhere; she has gone away to return no more; and in her stead 1 behold my second wife—a thoughtful, tender woman, whose watchful love surrounds me like an atmesphere, whose character grows more noble, and develops itself into new depth and beauty every day!” : . I waskneeling at his side, now, with my cheek upon his arm, and my eyes looking into his. “And 'which do you love best—the first or second wife ?” e “I think the trials and vicissitudes through which we have passed are welcome, indeed, since they have bro’t me, as their harvest fruits, the priceless treasure of my second wife.” This was what Gerald answered me —the sweetest words that ever fell upon my ear. ! !

How to Keep Boyson the Farm. The April number of Scribner contains a paper by the well known agrieultural author, Colonel George B. Waring, of Newport, on the interesting subject of “Farm Villages.” The writer has been active in urging the adoption of improvements in Ameri: can farming for many years, and has had good oppertunities for studying the needs.of American agriculture. Familiarity with the life and work of' European farmers, where it is usual for those who cultivate the soil to live in villages, suggested to him the idea that the condition of our own agricultural populatiorf could be much ameliorated by a similar concentration into communities where the material and moral benefits of better social relativns, could be secured. pa

The paper considers the way in ‘which the land may be divided so as to secure the end in view with the least inconvenience to the men who have to till the' fields, and with the least drawback to the business of the farmer. Two cases are considered: 1. When it is a question of the settlement of new lands. 2. Where farm houses are already: scattered over the country, each on its own farm. In both cases it is attempted to show how the details of the plan may be regulated so as to cause the least annoyance. and loss of time to the men, to compass the greatest convenience to the women, and to provide the best advantages for the younger members of the community. These two schemes are illustrated by’ sufficient’ diagrams, which indicate the way in which the farming land and the village tract should be divided. ; |

Suggestions are also given as to the laying out of the village green, the care of roads, paths, grass grounds, and other open spaces, so far as such suggestions are appropriate in this counection. 5 : ! The way in which the proposed change would effect the work of the farmer, his wife, his hired men, and his team, is fully demonstrated —while it is admitted that in immediate money malting there may be some slight disadvantage—that on the whole and in the long run the general prosperity of our agriculture would be advanced by the change. Considerable space is given to the comparative effect of the life of the isolated farm house and of the more sociable life cf the village on the character of the farmer and his family, and, therefore, on the future farming people of the country, The following quotations indicate the line of argument: - A ia

«It may seem a .strangs doctrine to be-advanced by a somewhat enthusiastic farmer, but it is a doctrine that has been slowly accepted after many years’ observation—a conviction that bas taken possession of an unwilling mind—the young man that takes his young wife to an isolated farm house dooms her and himself and. their children to an unwholesome, unsatisfactory and vacant existence—an existence marked by the absence of those more satisfying and more cultivating influences which thebest development of character -and intelligence demand. It is a common experience of farmers’ wives to pass weex after week without exchanging a word or look with a single person outside of their own family circles. - .“The young couple starts bravely, and with a determination to struggle against the habit of isolation which marks their class; but this habit has: grown trom the necessity of the situation; and the necessities of their own ‘situation bring them sooner or later within its bonds. During the first few years they adhere Lo their resolutiop and go to church regularly, to the lecture and to the social gagherings of their friends; but home duties iucrease with time, and the eagerness fur society grows dull with ueglect, and those who have started out with the firmest determination to avoid the rock on which their fathers have split, give up the struggle at last and settle ‘down to a humdrum, uninteresting and uninterested performance of daily tasks. ~ “In saying all this—and 1 speak from experience, for I have led the dismal life myself —it i 8 hardly necessary to disclaim the least want of ap- | preciation of the sterling qualities which have been developed in the American farm household, * * * «ff American agriculture has an ungatisfied need, it is surely the need for more intelligence and more enterprising interest on the p;rt of its working men and women. From one end of the land to the other, its crying defect —recognized by all—is that the best blocd—or, in other words, .its best brains and its best energy—is leaving it to seek other fields of labor. The influences which lead these best of the farmers’ sons to otheroccupations 18 notso much the desire to make mon :Z. or to fiud a less laborious occupaon, a 8 it is the desire to lead a more satisfactory life—a life where that ‘part of us has been developed by the bettsr education and better givilizaiion for which in this ceutury we have worked so hard. and so well, may find reaponsive companionship and encouraging intercourse with others. " “The social beneﬂx aud the facili- | ties fur frequeat, neighborly, and informal intercourse are obvious. To 'say nothing of the companionship and intimacies among the young people, their fathers and mothers would be

kept from growing old and glum by. the constant friction of their kind; and in so far as a more satisfactory social relation with one’s fellow men gives cheerfulness and the richness of a wilder human interest, in that proportion would the village life have a wholesome, mellowing effect that.is not to be found in the remote farm house, nor even in the sort!of neighborhood we sometimes find in the country, where several farm houses are within a quarter of a mile of each other. ' The habit of ‘running in’ for a moment’s chat with a neighbor is a good one, and it gets but a scant development among American farmers.” The better development of the church and especially of the school, is discussed at some length, and the paper closes thus: : {"«T should hope, further, as an outgrowth from the community of living, for a modest village library and reading room. Indeed, if I could have my ‘'own way, I should not confine the attraction and entertainment of the village to strictly moral appliances. It would probably be wiser to recognize: the fact that young men find an attraction in amusements which our sterner ancestors regarded as dangerous, and I would not eschew billiards, nor even by ‘rigorous enactment.’ the, milder vice of social tobacco. Better have- a little harmless wickedness near home and under the eye of parents than encounter the risk that boys, after a certain age, would seek a pretext for more uncontrolled indulgences in the neighboring tewns. -

“One might go off through the long range of incidental arguments—such as lighted streets, well-kept sidewalks, winter snow plows, and good drainage, and a wholesome+pride in a tidy, -cozy village, until even the most close fisted of all our-class would confess that the extra cost would bring full value in return, and until he would recognize the fact that the attractions of such a home as the village would make possible, would be likely to insure his being suicceeded in his wholesome_trade by the brightest and best of his sons—a result that would surely be worth more than it all would cost.’ Yo ~ “But my purpose has been only to suggest a scheme which seems to me entirely, though remotely, practicable, -and in which I hope for the-sympathy -and help of the country bound farmers’ wives and daughters—ascheme which promises. what seems the easiest, if nof the only, relief for 'the dullness and desolation of living which make - American farming loathsome" to so “nany who ought to glory in its pursuit, but who now are only bound toit by commanding necessity.” :

A Bad Case of Shrinkage. One day last week a Detroit mechanic was going down Michigan avenue and became favorably impressed with a [pair of pants hanging in front. of a cheap clothing store. The price/was low, the goods seemed all right, and he made up his mind to purchase. - ona ; “I gif you de word of .Andrew Shackson dot dose pants are shust like iron,” said the dealer, “I warrant dem efery dime.” : After three or four days wear the purchaser found the bottom of the pants crawling towards his knees. It was abad case of shrinkage, and he got mad and went back to the store and said: [ “You swindled me on these pants! See how they have shrunk!” "The dealer looked him all over, felt of his head, pulled on the pants, and finally said:/ “I shall give you one thousand dollars a month if you will travel with me.” . ; : “How—what ?”

“You are shust growing right up at the rate of two inches a day, and I takes you aroundt the country on exhibition. Dose pants;are shust as long as efer, but you haf grown out off dem.” ! ' : “I den’t believe it!” shouted the man, “I am forty years old, and quit growing long ago!” : ~ ¢“I gif you de word of Andrew Shackson dot you was growing.”, - “I don’t care whoese word you give! I say these have shrunk nearly a foot!” . / “Has de tops of duse pants shrunk down any ?” softly asked the dealer. “Why, no.” : “Shouldn’t de vaist-bands of dose bants shrink down shust so quick as dose bottoms should shrink up? I it’s in de cloth, one part should shrink like de odder, eh? When I sold you dot elegant pair of pants for tree dollar I don’t suppose you vas growing 8o fast or I shall haf put zum straps py de bottoms.” _ o “Well, I don’t like this way of doing business,” said the purchaser. :

“Shust like me. If I sells such elegant pants as dose to a man, and he grows out of dem, it damages my trade. You have damaged me five hoonard dollar, but I haf low rent, pays cash for mein goots, and can make you dis fifty cent tie for five cents.” : , - The man walked out to the curbstone, and turned around, shook his fi:t and said: . )

“You are a liar and a cheat, and I dare you out here!” S “Such dings sink deep into my heart,” sighed the dealer, as he took down his pipe. “I dinka Esells out dis peesness and bheddles some vasses aroundt. Den when I sells to somepoty it makes no difference how much dey grow.” }

Dyspepsial Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all human ailments, Its symptoms are almost infinite in their variety, and the forlorn and despondent victims of the disease often fancy themselves the prev, in turn, of every known malady.

, DISGUSTED. An Indiana Republican Who is Diszusted with lits Newspaper and His President, - (7o the Editor of the Inter-Ocean.) WOLCOTTVILLE, Ind., April 16.—1 n sending for the Inter-Ocean, I expected a real live paper, but it has dwindled down until it don’t pay to take it out, of the office. It would do very well] in place of the Church Advocate, but for a political newspaper it is nothing. 1 have been trying to find out, whether you indorse Hayes’ southern policy or condemn it, but I have failed to ascertain how you stand. Do you think! Hayes would have his rebel .general | take the postoffice away from you if you would condemn that which was wrong? Can you with any degree of consistency ‘uphold Hayes’ action in the case of Chamberlain, of South Carolina? Why do you not adv%c'dte right? If Mr. Hayes is President, Chamberlain is Goveinor, aid should be sustained. If Hayes is a‘’raid that he cannot do that, why doues he not step down and out and let Mr. Tilden, have the chair? I believe he would: be more friendly to the republican party than you or Mr. Eayes. Why cannot you publish some speeches like Wendell Phillips’ as well as those sermons on orthodox religion, that nobody cares to read, and if they did they take papers-for that purpose. - I sent you a letter some time ago, asking a few questions, but have failed to get a reply. 1 will repeat them: 1. What party does Phil Sheridan belong to? . 2. Did he in his report to Grant s:y of ex-Gov. Wells that he was a political trickster and a dishonest man, and. has na triend which is an honest man ? - 1f you come out and toe the mark I shall renew my sabscripiion; but if you do not, I will have Lo take some other paper. In the paper of Saturday, the 14th inst., you make'a terrible onslaught on Wade Hampton, but forget that Mr. Hayes helped to make him what he is by lettiug him do as he is doing, 1f Hayes would have had him arrested for disturbing the peace, and would have had his mob dispersed, it would have been quiet and peace would reign; but as it is now, what will bécome of the republican party. in the South? Can they ever consistently be asked to support a republi_can President again when he turns a deaf ear to their cries for help? If ithose that lost their lives to make Hayes President’ could speak, what would they say of the party to-day? They would say that Hayes was a poor coward. Would he be President if the leaders of the party were made up of that conciliatury stuff that ke talks 80 much Of? o o Four da’y&' before he was inaugurat< ed hesaid it would be terrible for the negroes in the Soutb if that commisgion was to let Mr.Tilden be President. I-would ask in God’s name what meaner action could he have done for them than Mr, Hayes does? 1 should think it time you would give Hampton a rest, and speak of the man that invited him todinner and went riding with him. A man that is it te ride out with the President certainly should net be condemned by a religious paper like the Inter-Ocean, “ Perhaps the editor might get some ‘gmall buy to tend the postoffice 8 while until he counld express an opinica. You have edited a good paper until Hayes deserted us, and now you should take a decided stand for what you thiuk is 2 igh:, 8o as to let your readers know the truth of the complications. If you are going to continue this way pl¢ase send me some Sunday school paper in place of the InterOcean. Youmﬁrespecgn‘l,lyﬁ e
