DIVORCED, “ He’ll go to the dogs now.” “Of course he will.” “Ry all means. Only see how ho acted when his wife lived with him! Now that she has left him, and all restraint is removed, he’ll go the rest of the downward way in no time.” “ I’ll give him just one year to be buried.” “ Pshaw! Half that time will finish him.” “ Well, I pity him, too, but I pity her more. He brought the misery on both.’’ Such was the talk of a half a dozen villagers, who stood in front of one i of the principal stores one summer evening, while the subject of their remarks went staggering along on the opposite side. It was evident that he was trying to walk straight, but such endeavors •always seem to make a drunken man walk more crooked. However, it proved he was not lost to all sense of shame, and still retained an aversion to being ridiculed and despised. But Harry Rogers had carried on at a fearful rate for a year or two past. He had just one vice—drink; but that was enough. He had mar ried a worthy fanner’s daughter, Nettie Ray, only a few years pre vious, but such had been his conduct for more than a year past that she had been obliged to cut him loose to pursue his profligate course alone, and a legal separation had just been effected. Harry’s home was on a little farm, a mile from town. He owned it, but then it was heavily mortgaged, and in another year foreclosure was cer tain. It was not likely his creditors would spare him when he made no effort to meet his obligations. A week passed after that summer evening on which all had agreed in predicting his early ruin—two weeks— a month or two. What mystery is here ? To the utter bewilderment of the prophesying sages, Harry discon tinued visiting the taverns, and was rarely seen in the village. When he did come to the store he speedily transacted his business and then went home—sober. Wonders never cease when they get a start. He was next reported as actually at work on his farm. Had but one man bold this in the village he would have been marked as lack ing veracity; but as several ladies vouched for the fact, it was worthy of credence. The little farm began to look healthier as the summer wore on. The fences straightened up, the weeds disappeared ; the animals look ed fatter and happier, and the little cottage looked neater. Time wore on, and the great change was more remarkable every day. Harry’s charitable creditors called and told him he might have his own time to pay oft' the mortgage. The fall came; and the farm yield ed abundance of crops, and Harry found himself beginning to drift with the tide of prosperity. And Nettie had begun to live her young girlhood over again, as it were under her father’s roof; hut somehow it was not like the happy, joyous girlhood of memory. It was sober and quiet now, and she fell into the train of musing; and every now and then there passed through her mind a certain thought—she was neither maid nor wife. She avoided the-vicinity of her late home, nor had she seen Harry since the separation ; hnt she had heard of him occasionally—knew that he was a changed man. Still this knowledge brought but a melancholy satisfac tion. The reform had come too late. There was a wide gulf between them now. But one evening in the golden Oc tober Nettie felt obliged to pass Harry’s farm. It lay between her futher’s house and the village. On the evening in question, however, she had been detained in the village until it was nearly dark, and she deter mined to hazard the nearest road home. It would be fully dark when she would pass his house, and the chances were that he would not see her. She wouldn’t him see her for the world. When she arrived opposite the house she perceived a light in the sitting room. Her first impulse was to hurry by; but some powerful im pulse prompted her to stop. She did so, and stood timidly at the further side of the road, gozingly longingly at the house that had once been the home to her—first of happiness, then of misery. By-and-by she felt an ir resistible longing to look at the in terior once more. He was evidently within, and there was no danger that he wo fill see her. So she walked hurriedly across the road, opened the gate and softly stepped into the lawn. Another minute and she was at the window, looking in. What singular behavior. But she could not help it. The little room was as neat as when she herself had watched over it. A cheerful fire was burning in t he grate, although the night was not cold, and a lighted lamp stood oil * le table. It was there that Harry was sitting. How her heart bounded as she caught sight of him. He held in his hand a book from liis scanty library. She recognized it at once ; but he was not reading now. Was he asleep, or was he buried in a sad reverie? Nettie thought the latter was the ease, and'her heart was touched. “ I wish I had borne with him,” she said. But a moment later her heart was touohed, when she saw a tear roll down his cheek and drop upon the book. The lonely man was not asleep—he was crying. She could not help it. Ail the woman in her heart was aroused, and she was at the door in a moment. No ceremony—she burst into the sitting room, and was at his side. “ Oh, Harry !” Her voice quivered with emotion. “ Why, Nettie I’’ he exclaimed, try ing to hide his tears —men are ash amed of them—“ is it you ?” “ Yes, Harry, I was passing—! looked in—l saw you sitting here so lonely, and couldn’t help coming in. I thought of the time we were happy here, and—— Then her womauly tears could be be repressed no longer. There was no use trying to hide them. Besides; her voice broke down, and she could say no more just then. He rose and took both her hands from her face, and held them in his own. “ I thought you had blotted me from your memory.” “No, no, Harry,” she sobbed, “I could not do that. I could not help leaving you; but I left you loving you more than ever. Oh, I have been unhappy,” “ M ettio, you have heard that I—.” “ Yes, I have heard that you have changed—that you do not drink any more—that again you are manly and industrious as you used to be; but how lonely you must be here!” and the tears gushed forth anew as her heart felt what her lips spoke. “ Yes, I am lonely, Nellie—more than you may think; hut I have de served this punishment for the way I acted. I had no discouragements— I had nothing to make me do so. It was only a passion for drink that seemed impossible for me to overs come. You were all a wife could be. When you left me 1 thought I should become worse than ever. Only a day or two after you left me 1 was in town drunk, and I heard some village people—they thought I could not hear them across the street —passing all sorts of remarks about me, saying I was a doomed man, and that des truction was near. Although intoxi cated, it startled me, and for the first time I felt the full force of our sepa ration, and realized that destruction stared me in the face, v I had a bob tie of whisky in my pocket at the time; when tfht of town I smashed it, and washed my face m a stream by the roadside, and resolved never to touch liquor again. It was hard to keep my resolve for the first week or two, but I stood it, and soon my taste for drink disap peared. I care nothing for it now, and would not touch it if it ran in streams. Now, Nettie, if you love me as ever, and God knows I love you the same —let us get married over again, and the bitter experience of the last few years will only enhance our happiness. Nettie, dear, what do you say ?” She could not answer; she was cry ing- as if her heart would break, and her head was pillowed upon bis breast. It was more eloquent “ yes ” than the tongue could speak. Tlfc moon was rising as he walked home with Nettie to her father’s. So Harry Kogers and Nettie Ray were married again, and there is, no divorce that can part them now. t®” The mortuary statistics of New York city show that within the last twenty years over 6,000 persons have been drowned in its adjacent waters.

Two neighbors were telling me last year of a peculiar red potato they had, that beat anything I ever heard of in the potato line. One said when he dug his he took a double extra rooter-scooter and the biggest mule he could find, and ran it, the rooter scooter, first on the larboard side and then on the other starboard side going down on the other side, but going back was larboard side itself, of the potato ridge, and then turned and plunged it, the rooter scooter, centrally in the potato ridge, and they were so numerous and large that they threw it, the rooter-scooter, clean np than above, every three feet, and the man and the mule and the rooter-scooter at a distance looked like some lone mariner and his boat as they rode on the high crested waves, of sunk into the troilghs to rise and go down and mount againj and plunge from billow to billow on the storing-ruffled sea. The other said he had them in hid house,- hang ing up, a bunch of them from oilel vinb hill, having eight potatoes at large as a man's thigh and any num ber of common sized,and didn’t know how many of smaller size. I learned after that the rooter-scooter man had four acres, and made about one hun dred Slid fifty biishels on the four acres, It was never convenient for me to go to see the other man’s bunch, but I take it fdt* gfanted they were both constitutionally, if not conscientiously, in earnest. PRICE OF A HORSE. The price of a horse at a half cent for the first tiail in his shoes of thirty two nails, doubling every succeeding nail, would be $7,460,618.24, if I didn’t make a mistake. If you think I made a mistake-, just try it; OAT RAISING. Last year I bought eight bushels of oats called “none such,” and had besides six bushels. I sowed the four teen bushels on about twelve aores, and gathered two-thirds of a two horse wagon load. They proved ex actly as represented. Last fall I thought I would go it on the Scotch plan partly. I bought three bushels of “rust proof ” at one dollar and a half per bushel, from a house that had good oats at sixty-ftve cents. I sowed them on fin acre and lflOO square yards, on which I put fifty bushels of cotton soed. They were about as’ thickly sowed as I had usually sowed wheft I sowed from a bushel to a btlshel and a peck. I found there was a heap of difference between merchantable oat weight meatsureJjMid old Brother Haril’s half bushel, which he “ wouldn’t strike and go to for nobody.” Old Unale B:, wh6 was quite rich, had a daughter named Ffinny, and a niece named Betsey, and a nice young man went to see Fanny and Beltfey. The old man put up Betsey, who was poor, to catch the young man, Betsy asked him why not let Fanny catch him ? Oh,” said ho, “ there’s a heap of difference betwixt you and Fanny.” It is said “ God made the country and man made the town.” What say you, Brother Hare ? To get back to tbe oats, I did in tend to put a hundred pounds of Peru, but they are all stonj dead and a proof against all rust. But lam not discouraged; I believe we can raise oals if we will sow them in Sep tember, from foursto nine bushels, merchant measure, pnt on fifty bush els of cotton seed, a hundred pounds Peruvian guano—all on an acre—if we will remove all the stumps, ard for five years previously, apply about a hundred dollars worth of guano per aore; until the soil has become as thoroughly soaked with it. * the altar and trench and sacrifice were,’ when Elijah slew Baal’s jirophets. HOW ABOUT IT? I have seen some few men who never failed in anything they under took. They did it in the very best possible way. They had the most complete and unfailing method of doing everything, and yet, grown old and still poor. It seems to me, if I had succeeded in one of three of my efforts, I should have been im mensely wealthy, But it is a sore i reflection that I have never had sense enough to make even one in six sue* eeed, though I have, in time, made a little progress. Can any one explain' the constitutional phenomena, in such cases made and provided? I would set down my failures to downright bad luck and be content, if I were not inclined to respect the law of cause and effeot.
