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 lilef ‘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; only the laboring m:n ca” Ate it in all its sweetM fail to sleep at night because .‘ley will persist in slee •in the daytime. Itis,,' impossi ble to heal lifu’ o lc e more sleep on the system th n the pro portion r- exercise requires, as to force t tomach to digest more food ii the body require Rather than court industrious -c- Uyities, many persons resort to medicine, and every new drr w ch is heralded as a promoter of sleep becomes at once im mensely popular, even though it. is known to possess dangerous qualities. • " ••<> ' ■■■ ■ n Sheep.
