A Story for Husbands.
Andrew Lee came home from
his shop, whore lie hud worked
hard all day, tired and out of spir
its ; came home to his wife, who
was also tired and out of spirits.
'A smiling wife and a cheerful
home—a paradise it would bo,’
said Andrew to himself, as he
turned his eyes from the clouded
face of Mrs. Lee, and sat down
with knitted lirowa and moody
aspect. Not a word was spoken
by cither. Mr*. Lee was getting
supper, and she moved about with
a weary step.
'Come,’ she said at last, with a
side glance at her husband.
Andrew rose and went to the
table. He was tempted to speak
au angry word, but controlled
himself and kept silent. He
could find no fault with the chop,
nor the home-made bread, nor
the fragrant fen. They would
have cheered his inward-man, if
there had been a gleam of sun
shine oil the face of his wife. He
noticed that she did not eat.
'Arc you not well, Marv?’
These words were oil his lips,
but he did not utter them; for the
face of his wife looked so rcpel-
lant, that he feared an irritating
reply.
And so, in moody alienee, the
twain sat together until Andrew
bad finished his supper.
As he pushed his chair hack,
his wife arose and commenced
clearing off the table.
' This is purgatory’,’ said Lee to
himself, as ho commenced walk
ing the floor of their little break
fast-room, with his hands thrast
into his trowser’s pockets, and
his chin almost touching his breast.
After removing and taking the
things into the kitchen, Mrs. Lee
spread a green cover or tbe table,
and placing a fresh-trimmed lamp
thereon, went out and shut the
door after her, leaving her hus
band alone with his unpleasant
feelings. He took a long, deep
breath ; as he did so, he paused
in his walk, stood still for some
moments, and then drawing a pa
per from his pocket, sat down by
the table, opened it and corn-
men c c d reading. Singularly
enough, the words upon which
Iris eyes rested were, 'Praise your
7\ife.’ The}’ rather tended to in-
ereaso the disturbance of nvnd
from which he was suffering.
' I should like to' find some oc
casion for praising mine.’ How
quickly Ids thoughts e:;pfesscd
that iii-nfttnred sentiment! But
his eyes were on the paper before
him, and he fea'd on :
* Praise your wife, man; for
pity’s sake, give her a little cn-
conragemebt. It won’t hurt her.’
Andrew Lee raised his eyes
from the paper and muttered,
'Oh, yes, that’s all very well—
praise is cheap enough. But
praise her for what? For being
sullen and making her home the
most disagreeable place ip the
world?* His eyes fell again to
the paper:
' Sho 1ms made your home com
fortable, your hearth bright and
shining, your food agreeable ; for
pity’s sake, tell her that you thank
her, if nothing more. She don’t
expect it. It will make her eyes
wider than they have been for ten
years; but it will do her good for
all that, and you too.’
It seemed to Andrew as if this
sentence was written expressly
for him, and jnst for the occasion.
It was a complete answer to this
question, 'Praise her for wlmt?’
and lie felt it also as a rebuke.—
He read no further, for thoughts
came too busy, and in a new di
rection. Memory was convincing
him of injustice to his wife! She
had always mado her home as
comfortable for him as she could
make it—aud, had he offered the
light return of praise or commen
dation ? Had ho ever told her of
the satisfaction he had known or
the comfort he had experienced ?
He was not able to recall the time
or occasion. As he thought thus,
Mrs. Lee came in from the kitcli
cn, and taking her work-basket
from tho closet, placed it or fhc
table, and sat down without speak
ing, to sew. Mr. Lee glanced al
most stealthily at the work lu her
hands, and saw that it was the
bosom of a shirt which sho was
stitching neatly. He kucw that
it was for him she was at work.
"Praise your wife!” These
words were before the eyes of his
mind, and he could not look away
from them. But, he was not
ready for this yet. He still felt
moody and unforgiving. The ex
pression of his wife’s faco he in
terpreted to mean ill-nature, for
which, he had no patience. His
eyes fell upon the newspaper that
was lying spread out lveforc him,
and he read the sentence :
* A kind, cheerful word, spoken
in a gloomy house, is the little
rift in the cloud that lets the sun
shine through.’
Lee struggled with himself a
while longer. His own ill-hatucc
had to Be conquered first; his
moody, accusing spirit had to be
subdued. He thought of many
things to say, and yet, he feared
to say them, lest his wife should
meet bis address with a rebuff.—
At last, leaning toward her, and
taking hold upon the shirt-bosom
at which she was at work, he said
in a voice that was carefully modu
lated with kinduess:
* You are doing the w’ork beau
tifully, Mary.’
Mrs. Lee made no reply. But
her husband did not tail to notice
that she lost, almost instantly,
that rigid erectness with which
she had been sitting, and tbat the
motion of her needle had ceased
' My shirts arc better made and
whiter than those of any other
man’s in the shop,’ said Lee, eu-
cotiraged to go on.
' Are they ?’
Mrs. Lee’s voice was low, and
had in it a slight huskiness. She
did not turn her face, but hot-
husband saw that she leaned a lit
tle towards him. He had broken
the ice of reserve, and all was
now easy. His hand was among
the clouds, and a feeble ray was
already struggling through the
rift it had made.
'Yes, Mary,’ he answered soft
ly, ' and I’ve hoard it more than
once, what a good wife Andrew
Lee must have.*
Mrs. Lee turned her face to
ward her husband. There was
something, light in it and light in
her eye. But there was some
thing in the expression of the con
versation that a little puzzled him.
'Do you think so?’ she asked
quite soberly.
'What a queer question,* ejacu
lated Andrew Lee, starting up
and going round to the side of the
table 7vliere his wife was sitting.
' What a question, Mary !’ he re
peated, as lie stood before her.
' Do you ?’ was all she said.
'Yes, darling,’ was his warm-
spoken answer, and he stooped
dowu and kissed her. ' IIow
strange that you should ask me
such a qijpstion.’
' If you would only tell me so.
now and then, Andrew, it would
do me good.’
Mrs. Lee arose, and leaning her
face against the manly breast of
her husband, stood and wept.
What a strong light broke in on
the mind of Andrew Lee ! He
bad never given bis wife even the
small reward of praise, for the
loving interest she had manifested
daily, until doubt of his love had
entered her soul, and made the
light around her thick darkness.
No svonder that her face grew
clouded, or that what he consid
ered moodiness and ill-nature took
possession of her spirit.
'You arc good and true, Man’,
my own dear wife. I am proud
of you, and my first desire is for
your happiness. Oh, if I could
always ace your face in sunshine,
my home wpnld be the dearest
place on earth.’
'How precious to me are your
words of love and praise, An
drew,’ said Mrs. Lee, smiling up
through her tears into his face.—
' With them in my ears, my heart
can never lie in shadow.’
How easy had been the work
for Andrew Lee 1 lie had swept
his hand across the cloudy hori
zon, and now the bright sunshine
was streaming down and flooding
that hume with joy and beauty.
A Child’s Preference.
An English teacher, enjoining
upon the members of a training
class their duty of giving to chil
dren bright and happy thoughts
of religion, used-this illustration
of the danger of tho opposite
course:
He said a little girl was once
asking her older sister about
Heaven.
'Do they play in Heaven?* she
inquired.
' No; they do not play there.’
' What do they do.’
'They sing, and arc good. 5
' Arc there no toys there ?’
'No, not any.’
'No dolls, nor balls, nor Noah’s
arks?’
'Oh, no.’
'Then,* said the little one,'I
shall take my dolly and go to
hell.’
The speaker said he liked Lu
ther’s idea of Heaven, and refered
to his letter to his son, in which
he told of the boys and girls who
play about the golden streets, and
have ponies and horses to ride
upon.
A Quick Quarter.
Wc commend the following to
the youth of our section: ' A
boy worked hard all day for a
quarter of a dollar. With the
quarter he bought apples, and
took them to totvn and sold them
on the street for a dollar. With
the dollar, he bought a sheep.—
This sheep brought’him a lamb,
aud her fleece brought him anoth
er dollar. '] he next Spring, he
had two sheep. The three fleeces
ho sold for three dollars, and
bought three more sheep. Ho
now had six, with a fair prospect.
He worked where ho found op
portunity, for hay, corn, oats aud
pasturage for his sheep. He took
the choicest care of them, and
soon had a flock. The wool en
abled him to buy a pasture for
them, aud by the time he was
twenty-one, he had a fair start in
life, and all from tho quarter ho
earned in one day.’
...Gold gnea a ready pres wrt at anv
gale except the gate uf Heaven. " *
Small Farms. ' ■ qr
Small farms and how to make
them pay, have been extensively
discussed in our agricultural jotfr-
nals, and now have more believers
in, than followers of the systepi.
The old adage, that ii is 'ba&l to
learn an old dog new tricks,*'Is
certainly applicable to the oM
fanners and their old system of
farming; and how readily'do for
eigners fall in with the practicd of
large planting as sootr as; they
come over to this country.-and
find so much land can be bought
for so little money, though they
are all - the time saying- their fa
thers in the ' old country* raised a
large, family. on eight acre's^* Let
our young men, just^tarting out
in a farm life, try wnatlthey can
do on eight acres of land, and
they will be astonished at th9 re
sult. For instance, one acre
planted in onious, well manured
and well cultivated, has often
made six hundred bushels per
acre; but say that one acre makes
only one hundred and fifty bush
els, we have, at one dollar per
bushel, which can always be ob
tained for them, $150. Why, iu
corn, it will usually take three
hundred bushels to bring a like
amount, and, with the present
system of fanning, thirty acres of
land to do it. Take Irish pota
toes next—one acre—the yield
from which would not lie large at
one hundred and fifty bushels.—
They have sold this year, readily,
for $1.15 per bushel—say, how
ever, they sell at 75 cents, and
7vc have $112. Then put one
acre in Sweet potatoes—one hun
dred bushels from which would
be a small yield, and at 50 cents
per bushel, it would make $50.—
Next, put an acre in tomatoes—
from which, two hundred dollars
worth can he raised without diffi
culty. Two acres more in corn,
well manured, and wc may rea
sonably expect 60 bushels per
acre; and 120 bushels, at 50
cents, would lie $60. Two acres
in cotton, well manured and well
cultivated, will make a thousand
pounds of lint cotton; which at
13 cents, the ruling priee, would
be $130—making, on the eight
acres, over $700 at a very low es
timate, and with the labor of one
man, and only the fourth of the
time of one horse.
Notv, wc ask, is it not better
to farm in this way, tliau to plant
so many broad acres, only to be
liarrassed and annoyed, keeping
them clear of wccdA*ftnd grass
with the present unreliable labor*
we have, and then at the end of
the year be brought in debt by
the heavy expenses incurred iu
running so large a farm? Un
doubtedly, it is In any other
business of life, it seems that men
learn sense by experience—if not
by their own, at least by that ot
others; but, iu the farming inte
rest, 7vc see men go ou and think
no way is right, unless their fa
thers did the same before them.

Advantages of Small Farms.
A correspondent writes to the
Department of Agriculture from
Yan Buren, Iowa, that he is run
ning a small farm of forty acres,
with twenty under cultivation in
fruit, vegetables and small grain.
Mv income varies from $1,500
to $2,000 a year,” he appears
proud to acknowledge. The
more industry anil intellect one
puts into an acre of soil the more
money lie is likely to take out of
it. His judgment should tell him
what will pay best in the markets
within his reach, with a small
farm close in hand, small taxes,
and small outgo for labor, feed
and working stock. There is
both art and good sense in keep
ing down expenses on the farm
and in other bra ches of business.
Success in tillage and husband
ry depends on the capacity of tho
human brain, rather than the size
of one's plantation. One family,
by skill, industry and economy,
becomes rich by cultivating twen
ty acres only, while another fami
ly grows poor by the bad man
agement of 2,000 wider tho plow.
It is not the pursuit, but the man,
that is a failure. The farmer of
ten grasps more acres than he can
handle to best advantage, and all
arc more or less slighted at cer
tain times and seasons to the in
jury of his cash ineome. Labor
is mis-directed, or neglected till
out of season, when vitality in
seeds and cultivated plants does no
good. On a small farm every
blotv may be struck at the proper
.moment*
Every person has but a limited
quantity of force, pliysicial and
mental; and it is the most com
mon of all mistakes to dilute 1 and
spread this force over too large a
surface. It is not the diffusion of
muscular strength, but its concen
tration that bores artesiau wells,
and draws a living water from the
strata of rocks hundeds of feet in
thickness to the surface tor the
use of on uneducated man. Dif
fused labor on a large form is like
the scattered rays of light in the ** arri8 >
interstellar spaces before the tele
scope collects them together, and
thereby extends human vision and
knowledge to millions of suns and
worlds before unknown..
