“A Map cf Busy Life—lts Fluctuations and its Vast Concerns.”
ELLIJAY, GA, THURSDAY, JI.NE 29, 1882.
Braye Woman.
Her husband died and left a small
And iil-st'K-ked farm, which was her all.
Hard was her lot, aa liard could be;
A widow, with her children three.
Instead of silting down to weep,
she lilWl hc-r land and sheared her sheep;
'■ v itli her own hand she held the plow ;
She chopped the wood and milked the cow.
Fences she built, ditches she dug.
And vanquished the potatO'bug;
Tceii in her little sitting-room
Her busy Augers fed the loom.
Once, when a large bear, bent on theft,
Entered her barn, ills skull she cleft
In twain, with one tremendous blow
From her sharp axe,and laid him iow.
Her bravery filled all the land,
And many suitors sought her hand,
Rut married she refused to be,
Frefuring to live always free.
PATTY’S LETTERS.
“We don’t keep boarders,”
said Mrs. Farquhar, looking in
owlish fashion through her spec
tacle glasses at Mr. Stuart Wal
ler. “We’ve got pienty to spare
without the trouble of ’em.
You’ll find the tavern about
mree-quarlers of a mile below.
You must have come right past
its doors.”
“So 1 did,” said Mr. Waller,
who possessed 1 lie insinuating,
cnivalric manner that made
every lady whom he addressed
feel herself lor the time being
the only feminine creature in all
the universe ; “but no amount of
money would hire me to make
my home in a place like that,
j Here il is like a glimpse of par
adise,” looking around admiring
ly at the shady lawns, the cle
malis- bordered porch, and the
rose hedges all sprinkled over
with buds. “I am sure, mad
nine, you will reconsider your
decision, and lake me for a few
days, and I will promise lo be no
inor“ trouble around the house
than a kitten.”
Mrs. Farquhar was but human,
and 1 lie upshot of the affair was
ihat Mr. Waller’s trunk arrived
'lie next day.
“Oh, mother.” said Patty Far
qiiliar, knitting her pretty eye
brows, “why did you let him in ?
And we so peaceful and com
fortable here!”
“Child, why shouln’t I?” said
the widow, “lie’s to. pay ten
dollars a week board, and 1 have
no use lor the little three-cor
nered room over tlie parlor”
•■1 don’t know,” said Patty,
slowly. “But it seems lo me I
feel exactly as Eve must have
felt when she saw the serpent
writhing his way into Paradise.”
“Nonsense!” exclaimed Mrs.
Farquahar, almost angrily.
But Patty only laughed, and
ran away under the shadow of
the pink buds to meet her lover,
Morris Newton.
“Little one,” said Morris, mi
prisoning both her soft white
hands in his, “I have got bad
newsfor you.”
“Bad news, Morris F'
“Pve got to go to Omaha next
week to see about those silver
mines that one of my clients has
an interest in.”
„“Oh dear,” said Patty, pursiug
lip her strawberry of a mouth.
, “I shall be gone six months.”
“Worse and worse,” said Pat
ty.
“But if you say so, Patty,”
drawing her to his side, “we
can be married first and matte
a wedding trip of it.”
“The idea 1” flashed back Pat
ty, drawing herself out of his
embrace. “And without a sin
gle dress made !”
“We can buy the dresses after
ward.”
“That’s all a man knows about
it.”
“Ybu’re sure its impossible t
with a disappointed nir.
“Oh. quite,” asserted the lit
tle brnncite.
“Then,” said Mr. Newton, with
a sigh, “you must wriie very
often, and be gelling your fol-de
rols ready to be married as soon
as I come home.”
“Yes,” said Patty, gravely;
“that’s more reasonable.”
And she went into the house ;
utterly ignorant that at the same!
time Sir. Stuart Waller was lay-!
mg a wager wth a boon com-j
panioii at ihe Easleworth Anns’
that ’ lie could cut out that con- i
ceited lawyer in less than four
weeks.”
For Mr. Waller was piqued bv
Patty’s cool indifference, and,
unfortunately, his were the “idle
hands” for winch Satan is sai l to
have plenty of mischief to do.
“Site’s pretty alter a fashion,”
said he to himself, “and I mean
to make her dead in love with
me before I’m through.”
Mr.Sluart Waller was a man
of the world. Patty Farquahar
was as young in experience as in
years. They wete an ill-mated
pair, and it was hardly three
weeks before tlie tongue of gos
sip began to busy itself with .he
widow’s dar: eyed daughter.
Mis. Farquhar came into Put
ty ; s room one afternoon, and
found her crying as if her heart
would break, and with an open
letter in her lap.
“Heart alive, child! what’s the
matter?” cried the old lady.
“Nothing, nothing, nothing!”
cried Pa' ty, hurriedly wiping
her eyes. “Only I have got a
letter tr>n .Morris, and it makes
me feel so glad and sorry.”
“Folks didn’t cry over love let
ters when I was a girl,” said Mrs.
Farquahar.
But the letter was more to
Patty than her mother suspected.
Every trusting word, every ca
ressing adjective was an enven
omed arrow in her heart.
Patty knew that almost un
consciously she had been led in
to what seemed to her an inno
cent flirtation with Stuart Wal
ler. She Lad walked with him
m tiie twilight, and she had
written him two letters, when Le
was temporarily absent in New
York—careless, girlish letters,
which, although she had no
thought of harm at the time, she
would now give wo Ids to recall.
“I’ll ask him to return them to
me,” said Pally to herself, “and
then I’ll turn over anew leaf. I
will go to Aunt ’s while he
remains here, and begin my
wedding clothes in good earnest.”
But when Patty Farquahar pre
ferred the innocent request, Mr-
Waller laughed in her lace
“My dear Patty,” said he, “do
you lake me lor a fool ?”
“My name is Miss Farquahar,”
said the girl, with flashing eyes.
“Excuse me ; but when you
say ’Dear Stuart —’ ”
“I never said such a thing!” in
terrupted Patty, with burning
cheeks and eyes aflame.
“In the letter.”
“I said ‘Dear Mr. Waller’ ”
panted Patty.
“Excuse me once more. Your
memory plays you false.”
“Will you return me the let
ters?”
“Miss Farquahar.” with a !o
bow, “they are a great deal 100
precious to nn .”
“You reins ’
“1 never retuse anything lo a
lady ; but —”
Patty did not stay to hear the
conclusion, but flashed out into
the afternoon sunshine, with a
large lump er throat and a
curious sc > as if all her
blood wr .1 io fire.
“What ale I have been,” she
thought, pacing up and down the
tiny graveled w 'tv like a chained
pantheress, an ting her scarlet
lip. “Oh, what an idiotic, unreas
onable fool! And what will be
come of nie if Morris Newton secs
those scrawls? But surely,surely,
in tiie wildest moment of infatu
ation, I never addressed him as
‘Dear Stuart V Be that as it may.
however, 1 must and will get
those letters back.”
Fired with indignation, Patty
Farquahar resolved herself into a
private detective, searched Mr.
Waller’s room and even got a
lalse key to his trunk and went
through *he contents, but all in
vain. And she had the satisfac
tion of perceiving by Mr. Waller’s
amused and patronizing manner
(hat he knew all about it.
“I*ll have them yet,’’said Patty.
Miss Farquahar was standing
wiili claped hands before the
wide opened door of the old
fashioned oven, built on the side
of the kitchen chimney and ex
tending a sort of hump-back ex
crescence out into the lilac bush
es of the back garden when Mr.
Waller came in itli a string ol
speckled trout depending from
his linger.
“La Peiiac, sa!” said he light
ly. “Pardo., me. Patty, but why
are you so grave f ’
"My thimble,” said she, “it has
rolled down into the oven —my
iltle gold thimble.’’
“And yon can’t reach it ?”
“If. is impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible when a
lady’s behest spurs one on,” said
Mr. Waller, gallantly. “Stand
aside one second, Penserosa ”
And he sprang valiantly into
the yawning depths of the old
brick oven.
It w.i- decidedly warm, for the
fires had just been taken out ; il
was decidedly dark, but no soon
er had he entered, than Patty, a
brilliant inspiration lighting her
heart and face alike, swung the
massive iron door to, and fasten
ed it with a steady bolt.
“tlello!’’ said Mr. Waller;
“what are you doing, Patty ? ’
“Pm shutting Ihe door,” Patty
breathlessly responded
“But 1 can’t find your thimble
in this Egyptian darkness.”
“1 don’t want my thimble.”
“Patty—Miss Farquahar—what
do you mean ?”
‘I mean to have those letters
back,’ announced Patty.
‘Do you want to roast me alive
in this black hole of Calcutta?'
*1 don't care much whether vou
roast or not,’ replied Patty,
i shall shout for help.’
•-■shout away,’ said Patty, with a
laugh. ‘Dorcus is hanging out
clothes by the river, and mother
has gone lo the village. Do shorn!’
‘Patty,’ imploringly said Wal
ler.
‘Well ?’
‘Am I to be a prisoner here for

‘Until you give me those let
ters.’
‘I can’t,’ said Waller. ‘I haven’t
got them with me.’
‘But you can tell me where
they are, I suppose.’ rejoined
Patty.
T oven was and dark—a
sens;, tion ak' suffocation
stole over Stunt WF'er.
‘Let me o.< aid he, grindiug
his tee , will give them
to yo.:.’
‘T*i! ..o,’ retorted Patty
, . have them before you
i 2 out or nut at all.’
n possible 1’
‘Nothing is impossible when a
lady's behest spur, oue on,’ mim
icked malicious Patty. Mr. Wal
ler uttered au excl -maliou which
was certainly not a prayer.
‘1 can’t stand this broiliug hole!'
shouted he. ‘ln the little summer
house under the loose board of
tbe table. Quick, or i shall be
stilled to ?ath!’
Patty flew off as if her tiny feel
were garnished with wings. In
the summer house, under me
VOL YU. NO- ?0,
loose board of the table, lay the
two letters, as Waller had said,
wrapped in oiled silk, and tied
with a yellow cigar ribbon.
Catching them up, she tore them
Jiurridly open.
*1 knew it wasn’t ‘Dear,’ ’ she
exclaimed mockingly, auil Ihen
tearing them into a shower of in
finitesmal pieces, she flung them
to the summer wind.
Half a. minute later, Mr.Waller,
crumpled as to linen, frowsy as to
hair,and streaming with pi opera
tion, crept out of his sultry cell.
Patty curtisied low lo greet his
egress.
‘Walk out,’ said she, ‘coward
anu liar.’
Mr. Waller made no reply.
Y\ hat could he have said ?
He left Farquahar cottage that
evening. He said he had reemV'
fcd a telegram. Perhaps he had,
but Pally had her doubts on that
subject. At all events he disap*
oeared, and Patty Farquahar
breathed free again.
Morris Newton came back in
October, and Patty married him.
But she never told any one, even
her husband,ol the episode of the
old brick oven and the two let
ters. — Home Library.
Experienced pork raisers in the
West have determined on the
following ratio as the relative
value of corn and pork : When
corn is 30 cents per bushel, pork
can be sold at $3 per 100 pounds
net; when corn is 40 cents, pork
must bring $4 ; and so on at tbe
ate of an advance of 10 cents in
the price of corn. If pork sells at
a price below this ratio,it it made
at a loss—if above, the ex cess. is
clear gain.
If earlcy eggs are desired, the
pullets and young hens should
be Ted in the mornings with some
cracked com steeped in boiling
water until it ts only moderately
warm. In Ihe afternoons some
corn warmed in the oven may be
given. Between these meals
some mixed feed ol potato peel
ings, house scraps, and wheat
screenings boiled together, and
seasoned with red pet)per, will be
useful. A cabbage may be hung
in the yard for them top ck at.
Provide a clean, warm, but well
ventilated house, aud nests of
i clean straw.
Sleeplkssness.—The best ano
dyne is a liberal amount of mus
cular activity out of doors every
day. Persons who sit around the
fire and lounge on the sofa, or
read or sew a great part of the
day, need not expect sound sleep;
