Then thero was snob a look of utter misery nml des pair gloaming from tils eyes that Ills companion said— “We must trust in God, Smith.” Tlio words wore unhoeded, nnd his companion passed on, while Smith on- tored the bouse. A tall, dark woman, was flitting about getting supper. She looked up, he entered, saying— “You nro Into to-night.” “Yes,” ho said gloomily. And going to tho cradle ho took up tho six-weeks’-old baby, nnd sorrow fully pressed It to Ills heart. “I do wish you would put that child down, nnd get ready for supper I” ex claimed tho wife, niter enduring his gloominess for some time in silence. lie slowly obeyed, nnd then seated himself nt tho table with a deep sigh. “Wlmt in tlio world is tho matter with you to-night?” she exclaimed as she sat down opposite him. His voice trembled, ns ho replied— “I supposo you might ns well know first ns Inst. I have been discharged. 1 ’ “There 1” cxcluimcd his wife, quick- ly pushing back her chair. “Just wlmt I might have expected. I’d like to know wlmt we aro going to do now I Winter coming on and all. I declare, Smith, yon will torture mo to death!” “I am very Borry, Lydia, but I can’t help it.” "Sorry ! No you are not sorry nt all. You would ns soon sen your wife nnd child starve as not. It’s nothing ii) the world but poor managing.” “Lydia, you aro cruel. Instead of helping mo to enduro my great trou ble, which Is bearing mo down to tho very earth, you make it toil times harder for mo to bear. I was not tho only ono discharged. There was Jim Hawley, and ever so many others— Business is dull.” “Business dull!” she mimicked ffftor him. “Always an oxeuso for a worth- loss man. To think that you should bo discharged now, just ns rent is due, nnd whet? we nro needing coal; nnd look nt my shoes, won’t you? My feet arc almost out on tho ground, I ish I had never seen you 1” And n dark look accompanied tho last words.* The poor husband now covered bis face witli bis bands, nnd groaned aloud. Tilts seemed to encoarngo his ife to go on, for she uttered words more and more bitter, until, at last, al most In n state of frenzy, tho wretched man rushed from tlio house to the nearest public house, nnd there sought to bury thoughts of the past and fu turo in tlio bottom of a ruin cup. In the meantime, James Hawley, his companion in labor, entered his home witli-n very sad aonntenunec. But be fore he hail stepped over the threshold loving pair of arms wero thrown around his neck, and a pair of sweet lips pressed to his, lie returned the salutation sadly and then asked after the baby. “She is sleeping sweetly in her cradle, She has been a perfect little darling to-ilny. Supper is wniting, so innko haste. Hero is warm water nml tow els. A l'o you not later than usual to night?” “Yes, Mary, nnd I bring bad new for you.” “Bad newel” she exelniined, turn ing pale, as for the first time, she no ticed that something was wrong. “Yc3; I was discharged to-night, and don’t know ns I can get anything llioro to*do until spring. Business is so dull.” “Is that nil ?” exclaimed his wife, with a sign of relief. “I thought was something terrible, tho way you looked.” “And is it not terrible enough ? Wlmt will becomo of us this winter, if I am out of employment?” -“The same God who feeds the spar- row and clothes tho lily of tho field will not let us sufi'er, dear James.” “God bless you, Mnry 1 There sweet comfort in your words.” “And now let us have supper," said bis wife, cheerfully. “See, I have your, favorite dish—short cake and toast, .Don’t let your troubles impair your appetite; nud then, after ten, wo will talk it nil over. God doeth everything for the best I And ns our day is, shall our strength bo I” In the evening it was determined that tlio quarter’s rent should bo paid immediately, a now supply of coal ob plate Bnt tlio steaming tea-pot. As "nines took it all in a glance, ho groat- ’ wondered at tho frugal yet comfort able way of living, llow his wife had been able to mnko tlio small amount money last so long wns a mystery him. James wns Blok nt heart,’ bnt refused to tell Ids dutiful wife tlio cause of Ids depression. Tlio truth must bo made known nt Inst, and groat toars coursed their wny down tlio strong man’s oheok, ns ho had not a dollar In Ids pocket to sccuro them a room elsewhere. “Is that it ?” said Ids wife, in soft, rippling tones. And tripping up stairs she soon returned with two ten dollar bills in her hand. “Whore did you got them ?” ho ex claimed eagerly turning them over and over in Ids hnnd, as if to ascertain wliotlior they wore really genuiuo or- not. “I earned them,” said Ids wife, gnl- , “I knit nfghnns, shawls, children's sneques, hoods nml socks; nt first on- ly for tlioso whom I providentially heard wished articles of that kind; uftcrwnrds I wns employed to furnish trimming establishment with my work." “And kept it all a secret from me?” “Yes; I thought you Would bo wor- lying for fear that I was doing too much. I love to knit dearly, and con- sidcr it more of a pleasant pastimo than lnbor.” “God be praised for giving mo such wife I” said her husband, earnestly. And, pressing bis wife and child close- to his bosom, said— “Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, nml lie prniseth her; for many daughters have done virtuously,, but thou cxoellcth them all." Twenty years have passed, mid Jns. Ilhwlcy is a rich mini. But Joseph Smith is a confirmed drunknrd, while his wife lias long since passed from the earth, a victim of mysery nnd want. Why will not nil wives assist their lui9bamls to bear tbeir trials with will ing hands and lien its? If they would do this, how many families would be saved from ruin, nnd how sweet would be the reward, not only on earth, but in beaveu. The Deacon Puzzled. Deacon Johnson is a great temper ance man, and sets n good exnmple to total nbstinanco ns fur as he is seen. Not long ago ho employed a enrpon ter to ninkc some alterations in his parlor. In repairing the corner near the fire-place it was found necessary to remove the walnsebttlng, when; lol a discovery was made that astonished everybody. A bruce of deenhtors, a tumbler, nnd a pitcher, were cosily re posing there ns if they had stood there from the' beginning. Tlio deaeon wns summoned, and ns lie beheld the blushing bottles lie ex claimed : “Well, I declare, that is curious, sure enough, It must be that old Bains left them when he went outs’of this ’ere house thirty years ago.” “Perhaps lie did,” returned tlio car penter; but, deacon, the ico in that pitcher must have been friz mighty hard to stop till this time." Story of a Picture, A painter onco wanted a pioturo of innocence, nnd drew the likeness of a child at prayer. The little suppliennt was kneeling beside his mother; the palms of liis uplifted hands were rover, ently pressed together; his rosy checks spoke of health, and his mild blue eye was upturned with the expression of devotion and peace. Tlio portrait of young Rupert was much prized by the painter, who hung it up on his study wall and called it “Innocence.” Years passed away, and tlio artist became an old man. Still tlio picture hung there. He had often thought of paint ing a counterpart—tho picture of “Guilt,” but had not found an oppor tunity. At last he effected his purpose l>y paying a visit to a neighboring goal, Oil tho damp floor of his cell lay n wretched culprit named Bandall, heav ily ironed. Wasted was his body and hollow Ida eye; vieo wns visible in his face. The painter succeeded nilmir bly, and tho portrait of young Rupert and Ilandnll were hung side by side, for Innocciico and Guilt. But who was Rupert, nnd who was Randall ? their clothes, nnd then whipped them j with Ids lingers, and cleave trees with li\ tlio morning for losing it I” “Does ho do nnytfiing cl.ni?” _ “Yes; tlio' other day I dined with him, nnd I noticed tlio poor little ser vant-girl whistled gnlly all tho way up stairs with tho dessert, and when 1 asked my generous friend wlmt nindo her whistle so happily, ho snkl: “Why, I keep her whistling sb she can’t eat tlio raisins out of tho cnkc.” Flour-Making. A revolution is llkoly .to tnko plnoo soon Id tho process of flour-making It lias been started in Englnnd. The grain Is crushed by numerous Uttlo trip hammers, attached to tho proper maohinory to produce tlio results de sired. Tho now maohinory 1b very cheap, and does its work in a scientific manner. The flour produced is said to be far superior to that obtained by grinding. A pounding mill, costing $1,000 will produce ns much flour ev ery day ns an old-fashioned mill cost ing $5,000. Tho now mill is very simple. Wbcn a hammer is out of order it can bo replaced at a trifling cost. • Blodgett.

On Tuesday morning tho neighbors going to Busor’s liouso found it shut up, and brcnklng in, (Wind Mrs. Buser and her youngest child lying on tho bed bathed In blood, their throats cut from oar to car. On tlio floor licsldc tho bed lay the lifeless body of Buff, bis throat also cut.— From letters left by both tbo mnn and woman, it is evident that they agreed upon this tragic method of escapo from tho clutches of tlio law. A Dali of their Own. Prominent colored persons of Wash ington nro making extensive arrange ments for an inauguration ball on the llth of Mnrob.

An exchange says: “We unhappy age. He lias a most beauti ful bret, drawn by a pair of snow-white mares.

It is said that Blodgott has at least three hundred thousand dollars on deposit in tho various banks in this State. Signs nf Dentil The Academy of Sciences of Paris, 111 1870 offered a prize of twenty thous and francs for some simple and posi tive signs of death, which any non-pro fessional person could understand nnd apply. Tlio most practical and satis factory ono given (says tlio British Medical Prest and Circular) is men tioned in a Into number of Vircliow’s Archio. It depends upon the fact that no matter how profound tlio syncope or how death-like tlio person nmy ap pear, if the circulation continues, how ever feebly, tlio person is' not dead—'• All that is necessary, therefore, is to tie a string firmly around the finger of tlio supposed corpse; if tlio blood cir culates in tho least, tlio whole finger, from tlio string to tho tip, will swell nnd generally turn a bluish rod. TliiB test is exceedingly simple and conclm sivc. A New Trial for Slakes, It is stated that the counsel of Stokes lias ascertained that tlio woman has been found who picked up the pistol alleged to bdlong to Fisk, upon tlio landing of the ludifis’entrnneo, nt the hotel. Her presence at tlio hotel is ver. ifled by tho registry, and lior absenoo from preceding trials will he satlsfncto- lily explained. Other importiint evi dence is said to be established, and it is now believod a new trial for Stoke9 will be secured, The Rino It Took a Jury to Agree. A case was tried in 1’iiiladelphin ro oently, in which tlio jury were out twelvo.dnys. It "'as a criminal case, tho defendunt being a prominent mem ber of tho oity government. Dui'in;: tlio whole of this time, tlio jury stom ten for oonviction nml two for acquittal, but tbo two suecombcd after an impris. onmeut of two weeks. Thera wns doubt as to tbo guilt of the prisoner, nnd So tho ten concluded to stay till there was an agreement. We think that such an examplo us this might followed by other juries without detri ment to the piijflic. nnd sides of tho face. Thu cerebel lum and Adam’s apple nro very prom inent.

Sudilcn anil Easy Death. Tlio death of A. W. Fcnno, of Booth’s Theatre, was a singularly easy passage from this world to tbo world beyond. .Like an actor changing bis parts he changed, from mortality to immortality in a moment. Sitting in his oliatr in an attitude so easy ns .to show ho wns not expeoting death, be expired without knowing that ho wns dying. At noon bo was in full lifo, and at night “bunted down” to life’s certain end. The Canso cf Hard Times. are fast becoming a nation of scliemors to live without genuine work. Onr boys nro not loaruing trades ; our far- morel sons nro crowding Into cities, looking for clerkships and post olllccs: hardly one American girl in each one hundred will do house-work for wages, however urgeut lior need ; so JVO nro sending to Europe for workingmen, and buying of her artisans niillinus worth of products that wo ought to make for ourselves.

Not Henpecked, A mnn nt Salem, Mass., recently remark He A Riddle. There -wore fifteen travelers who. stopped at a publlo house, niid called for dinner.' it was served up and plac ed upon a three-cornered table, five sit ting on cncli side. They invited the landlord to dine with them. After they, had finished their meal they pro posed to count, commencing at some one, and count five, and whoever coun ted five was to leave the table, or in other words, every fifth man step put. They further agreed that the Inst mnn left was to pay this bill. They so coun ted ns to have it fall upon tho landlord. Now what sent did tlio man occupy wko started the count ? Arizunn. Most of the agricultural land of the territory of Arizona is capable of pro ducing two crops a year, nml every kind of a crop.

By tlio falling of tbo span of a tem porary trestle bridgo over tbo James Rivor, between Richmond nnd Man chester, Va., n few days ago, fifteen workmen were precipitated iuto tho river, six of whom wore cither killed or drowned. tile whole surface of tiiis section, tlio new State could easily bo nindo the great manufacturing center of the Un ion. There appears to be some pro priety in tlio inountniiicers gathering themselves together iu one community, • blit it is doubtful if they can proouro tlio assent of their respective States to u dismemberment. Row to Wash Woolen Clothing. From tlio “Applied Science” column of the New York Tribune which, by tlio way, is a now and very valuablo feature just introduced jn that paper, wo extract the following: Articles of woolen clothing, washed in ordinary soap and water, not only shrink, but acquire a peculiar fatty odor, duo to the decomposition of tlio soap by tlio lnotio and neetio acids pres ent in tho perspiration, nnd consequent precipitation of tho greater part of tho soap in the fibre of tho wool. Ac. cording to Prof. Artus, both of these effects oan bo prevented by steeping tlio articlbs forsevornl hours in a warm, . moderately concentrated solution of wnshingsoda, then after tho addition of somo warm water, and a few drops of ammonia, washing them out, and rinsing them in lukewarm water. Killed Vi'ldic at Prayer. A beautiful and beloved young lady of Montgomery, Ain., tho daughter, of Dootor S. E. Norton, was killed a few nights since by tlio explosion of a ker- . osene lamp. Tho disaster occurred while Miss Norton was on her knees in prayer. The South Before tlio War. One thing may be said of tho emi nent men ot all parties, who, in happier days, represented tlio [South in the coun cils of the nation—no suspicion rested on their personal integrity.
