Most of our leading minds, in the various departments of activity, origi nate in the rural districts. The cities and large towns furnish very few in proportion to the population. The fact has been explained hv the ptxrer air, simpler habits, and hardier life, which characterize the country. But we are inclined ;to think that our sehool sys tem is an equally important factor in the case, In the rural districts it-is mpossible to attend at a very early age, partly because the schools are not adapted to them, and partly because inconveniences of distance, bad roads and inclement weather. Moreover, there are generally only two terms, a shorter in summer and a loflger in winter, the latter being largely attended even by young men and ' young ladies, many of whom become themselves teachers. There is, take the year through, time enough for all sorts of rural sports and -diversions. Play, work and study are duly interchanged. It is well-nigh impossible to push the brain at the expense of the muscles. r # The result is that nerve-force is ex- tahiishing a new. executive department: bf' pdhded inlaying solid foundations for •buy of her or any one belonging to hef.

The mistress Boothed her and hastened on the work. And early in ihe after noon the pantry-shelves were loaded with the most delicious-looking pump kin pies, a great fat turxey, prepared tor the «pit, a massive bowl of ruby cranberry jelly, ft huge chieken-pie, waiting the oven;- a cake crowned with the most delicate frosting—in fact, everything in as much forwardness as could be, and a hungry soul Would have rejoiced even in expectation of the feast. Then the house was made tidy, swept and dusted, fresh asparagus sprays hung in the corners, vases filled With bright-colored chrysanthemums, amt the mistress, giving over the rest of her “help,” announced her deter mination to run in and see the Domine’i wife a bit. •> But she saw the Domine as well, and they had a long and earnest consulta tion. The trouble which old Martha was i* was discussed at length, and then they drifted into other matters, until at last, warned by the lateness of the hour Mrs. Grey thrust her needles into the ball,of yam,-rolled up the half finished stocking, put it in her spacious pocket, and said sue must go home and get tea. ■ “iYou won’t forget what I said, and be sure to come,” she said at parting, With a Btrange combination of smiles upon lips ante tears glistening in eyes. “ Never fear,” answered the Domine rfarnily, “and T-will pray for a bless- oi!l In b- vatO -i j .» ‘fiOhl it would ngake, the. day ope'of such fervent and holy Thanksgiving, ■ 'Domine.” i ' “ Yes, a soul saved; a lost sheep gathered again within the fold would be as a benediction.

Strange, what could -be the mat ter with Martha.” ' An hdur later Job Grey came in from his work and found a loaded table wait ing, lamps .lighted, and a hickory Are blazing and crackling cheerily upon the fitting room hearth. Bless me,.Susan, you are beginning Thanksgiving early,” he said. “I thought you’d bo tired and hungry,‘Job, and we might 1 as well be (Comfprtghle.” . - ; s . “So 1 an? .

And tneh nice ones'! I don’t believe you ever made better in all your life, and I know no women can beat you, Susan.” Pleased with the praise, Mrs. Grey told of her visit to the parsonage; that Um minister Baid he would try and find out what was the matter with Martha, and comfort her; and that she also lallrui shout their proposal to adopt a girl. “And what did the Domine say?” mentioned her husband. “Ohi he approved the plan, and wondered why we had not thought of it .before.” “ Thinking was easy enough; the right kind of agirl is the trouble.” ‘‘The Domine believes he knows one that will suit us—the child of a widow— and he would drive over and see about it.” . “ That accounts for his being on the road so late. I saw him going alone as I came in, and feared some one must he dying. When will he let ns know!” “To-morrow.” • , “I wonder who it can be? Oh! I gnesslkuow. It’s that Smith child, and * smart youngster. Well, whatever the Domine does is always about right, but we needn’t have anything to do with the girl unless she suits us.” .. “ Of course not. It is not every one I would be willing to lake into my house much less my heart.” “ Early to bed and early rise was with them the custom ot a lifetime, and as thi next day would be an uncom monly busy o'n$ they acted upon it, and the house soon became Golet,- Save as now and then could be heard the wdlklfi* and groaning of old Martha. The husband slumbered heavily, but the good wife scarcely closed her eyes. The anxiety for the morrow, the dis turbance caused by the old servant, tiie responsibility attached to the adoption and bringing up of a child, and the conversation had with the minister com bined drove away slumber, and before the day she was astir. But Martha had arisen even earlier. As her mistress entered the kitcheft she found her bending over the fire, shiver ing, bonneted, shawled, and her dabbled dress telling she had been abroad. “ Land sakes!” she exclaimed; “where have you been, Martha, and you sick ?” The woman looked at her sharply, even fiercely, but made no direct reply, thougn her mistress caught a muttered threat about doing something eve* if killed for it, and, looking upon hey a* one bordering upon insanity, refrained from further questioning, and was care ful not to cross her. But as the morning progressed Martha appeared her former self, though more reticent. She tool her usual interest in what was going o», at tending to the household duties, and never gave a sign of the cause of her recent trouble, save it might have been in a casual word dropped about her not being “ wanted Very long.” That was the ray of light that solved the mystery of her action* fort Job Grey and bis wife. - She must have learned their purpose, and presumed she would be discharged- “ Poor old thing,” said the husband; “go and comfort)her, Sirean; tell her she shall never want a home as long as I have s roof dver my head. She has beta too good (and faithful a servant.’ Mrs. Grey difl a» her hushend te- - i‘ Marv, my daughter, God, forgive rested. The woman stared at her de- me,” and opening his arms his long and sternly ‘oendemned child was clasped within qne of bis arms and lay sobbing upon liis breast, her daughter within the other, and the wife and mother hanging uponoil. Fot alittle time heavy sobbing could alone be heard; then silence settled upon all. They fell that any ordinary speech would b« a sacrilege, and it was as a mill stone lifted from every heart when the minister -kneeled and Baid, in a trem bling vpice: “Let us pray.” It was a simple, loving petition he of fered , and acted as oil poured upon troubled waters; it accomplished what nothing else could have done, and when finished joy lighted every fice as sun shine breaking through black clouds, and the angels of Peace and Love hovered with white wings and songs of rejoicing around the hearth-stone of Job Grey. There was the widest forgiveness for all, even pobr, old Martha, and around no hoard was gathered a more happy, laving family, and from no home went up as glad a hallalujah and triumphant song of Thanksgiving.
