Wilson and Dr. Mary March of Cleveland consolidated their respective practices by marriage. There was an agreement between them that, as far as practicable, nil the male patients should be attended by the husband and the females bv tin; wife. In pursuance of this plan, Mrs. Wilson sent Mr. Wilson with a note introduc ing him to an ailing merchant, and assuring the patient that, though she could not longer doc.o • him. she would never cease loving lum. Wilson sur reptitiously read this, and at once ter minated the professional as well as the marital partnership. Nine months of hard and ingenious labor by Johnny Sansome, a convict in the prison at Folsom. Cal., enabled him to escape. l>y thrusting a wire down between the granite blocks in the floor of his cell, he discovered a cavity underneath, which was an abandoned sewer. With a chisel which he smuggled in fiom the work shop, and a heavy piece of wood, he broke one of the stones. This re quired a month, because he could only strike a blow when a door was closed, or some other noise was made to hide it, and he frequently set up all night without being able to strike more than once or twice. In the daytime he was in the shop. After icnioving the half squar e of granite, lie dug slowly down through three feet of stone and ce ment. fir>t boring :i hole, ana after ward letting the chips fall through it. At the end of three months he got in to the sewer, and found it plugged with stone and cement ten feet thick |at its former outlet. The remaining (six months were spent in digging through this obstruction. He wo. ke i at nigh, :nl naked, leaving his clothes so arranged in bed that the omard supposed he was in thorn. Foul or as in the sewer nearly suffocated him. losi of sleep ma le him ill, and 1 his weight fell o!f twenty five pounds. ! Hut he got out at last. Within three hours an offi-.-er recognized him, and he was again a prisoner. FOR THE PEOPLE. VAAce\e\ Wv^e . LOVE AND aUINCE SEEDS. “ I’m clean discouraged !” asserted Farmer Ford, corning into the house one cold fall day ami sitting down hard in a chair in the kitchen. Ilis wife, paring pumpkinsatatable did not ask why. “ I expected we should do well this year, but everything lias gone wrong. It isn't the year for fruit, yet I thought there would be a few apples, which would have brought a good price in the scarcity; but there isn't a barrel of apples 'inTfic whole orchard. The p'O tatoes arc poor, the corn blighted and the rains spoiled the wheat. I didn't get half the hay I expected on account ol the early drought- The horse is never going to get. well of that lame ness ; the brindle ox died and my best cow is sick. The pigs are fat, but pork has gone down to nothing. My whole flock of seventy hens are molting, and hain’t laid an egg for a month. I’ve got to buy grain for my stock, and corn is eighty-tivo cents a bushel. To crown all, the frost took twenty-five bushels ofrunripe grapes from me. If that isft'tenough to discourage a man, when foreclosure of the mortgage upon his farm is close at hand, I don’t know what is!” MU* Mrs. Ford wiped her eyes. “ Cheer up, father ! Jennie’s coming home.” But oven the mention of his only daughter could not dispel the good mam’s dejection and sense of trial. He rose up, covered his partially bald head with his old hat, and marched out of the liouse. Then good Mrs. Ford wiped away a tear. Her iittle financial ventures, too, bad been unsuccessful. The price for butter was unusually low : tbe turkeys had gorged themselves on musty wheat and been found stretched lifeless under their perch. She had spent all her spare time all summer braiding two rugs for the doctor’s wife, and the doc tor had moved away and left them on her hands. There were no apples to dry, and the pumpkins were rotting dreadful! v. Such are the trials of farmer’s wives quite frequently ; but to have a mort gage foreclose upon the old place where she had lived ever since she was mar ried—the clear old place where her children had been born, and where she expected to spend her lasteartldy days —this was too much, and Mrs. Ford’s apron went up and a groat many tears fell among its tidy folds. Suddenly there was the roll of a yel low old stage coach's heavy wheels at the door, the hanging down of a trunk, and a graceful girl's form in the door way. “Mother! —you dear, darling old mother ! Why, what are 3'ou crying for ?” And Jennie Ford’s blue eyesopened wide upon the now smilyigaml delight ed wrinkled face. “I’m not crying. Jennie, dear. Why, how you have altered, child ! An inch taller, and—well, it's mother that saj’s it —so pretty ! You hardly look like my Jennie, with those blue ribbons and that fringe of little curls over your fore head.” “Aunt Elinor wanted my hair hanged, mother.” What., child ?” “ Hanged, mother, dear. But never mind m3’ hair. You have been and I want to know what the matter is.” Jennie, divested of her wraps, with he’r pretty shoulders buried in shirred blue silk and lace, was an apparition lovely indeed to appear, tender and blooming, in the old farmhouse kitchen. A wealthy aunt, peculiar and com paratively unknown, had come to Wheatlands the previous spring, and pleased by the sweet faced girl of six teen she had never before seen, borne her away for a summer to a fashionable seaside resort. Another month had been spent at her handsome city residence ; but finally Jennie had come home. “ I suppose I was down hearted. Jen nie. Father —father's dreadful down about the way tilings arc* going. The stock and the crops—well, as he says, everything seems to have gone wrong this 3’ear ; and—and the mortgage fore closes the first of January,” added Mrs. Ford, her face bending over her again busy hands. She looked up at last in the silence that followed, and met Jennie's blue eyes, grave enough. “But you needn't fret, child. You are young, and I dare say r old Wheat lands is a dull enough place to you.” ” It's home, mother, and I love my home. There is someone coining next week—a—a gentleman—who has been very polite and kind to me. lie is rich and elegant, hut I am not ashamed of Wheatlands,” concluded Jennie, deci sively, nodding her pretty head, with its line of golden fringe. Mrs. Ford understood. “So my girl has got a sweetheart,” she said. A bright, eloquent, blushing look from Jennie, but no words; for the kitchen door opened, and, with a glad cry. Jennie sprang into her father’s arms. It was pleasant to see the old man's grim face break into smiles. “So you’ve come home at last, Child.” “ I’d have come long ago, dear father, but Aunt Elinor wouldn’t let me.” As Jennie sat down by the great open fireplace, her father looked her over from bead to foot. No one noticed the look of his face as he turned awn}\ Jennie herself was very thoughtful, and sat gazing meditatively into the open blaze, while her mother made the tea and toasted bread on a gw at pronged fork. Mrs. Ford was one of the few fond of old fashions, and clung to the old time way of doing things. She had never been persuaded to have a cook ing-stove, a modern bedstead, or a clot lies-wringer. All the fireplaces at Wheatlands were open, the bedsteads were high posted, piled with beds filled with fifty pounds of live goose-feathers, sheets as while as snow and smelling of lavender, and patchwork quilts of the most elaborate designs. Every carpet and rug in the house Mrs. Ford had made with her own hands. She had in use china and crockery which had been her mother's and grandmother’s. Nothing equaled in her estimation their habits and ways, and she had been suffered to perpetuate them, though Jennie often ** wished her mother would have a cooking stove ;” and her husband, on a summer's night, often escaped from the smothering embraces of his feaf her bed and spent the night on the chintz covered lounge in the kitchen. When Jennie had kissed her mother and father good night that evening, and silently carried to her pillow the problem of the mortgage’s foreclosure, the father and mother sat silent before the red embers of the hearth. The old man’s elbows were upon his knees and his face in his hands. lie uttered a groan. “As if it wasn’t enough to have things going the way thcj' are,” he ex claimed, “ without having Jennie come home with her hair in bangs!” “ Why, father—” “What sense is there in frizzling and frowseling her hair over her fore head like that? It's the foolishest tiling in the world ! I knew Elinor would spoil her—l knew it from the first!” “ 1 think it looks very pretty, father : but-” “To think a daughter of mine should ever bang her hair !” groaned the poor, gloomy man, as lie rose, set his chair back against the wall, and betook him self disconsolately to bed. “1 wonder if I’d belter speak to Jennie .about her hair ?" mused Mrs. Ford. “It seems a pity. Those little curls; just like tendrils on the grape vines, make her forehead and eyes look so pretty. I guess I won’t, just yet. It does seem as though trouble was making father dreadful cross grained.” No complaint was made to Jennie of her bangs. She came down the next morning with the same fringe of little, soft curls above her pretty brows, but with a broad gingham apron tied over her neat print wrapper ; and she washed the breakfasrchina, made brown bread and pumpkin pies, made np the plump feather beds, and prepared dinner as deftly as if she were in total ignorance of the fashions. Mrs. Fort was satisfied that Jennie was not spoiled, if her father was r.ot. If Jennie had known of her father’s disapproval. It would have been hard for her to have abandoned those ob jectionable bangs, for someone else had I'cen especially pleased by Jen nie's adoption of the style. Mr. Chester Childreth was very ap preciative of nice effects in the toilets of ladies, and at last reports was still undecided whether ?he 10->*e tresses made the deep fringed blue eyes so lovely or the pretty eyes made the little curls socharming. The thought thrilled Jennie’s heart everp time she looked in the little mirror, and it would have been actual cruelty to have deprived her of her bangs. Mr. Chester Chil dreth seemed so far away—and though she loved her home it was very bare of romance and the refinements of the summer which she had found so con genial. Hasn't anything done well ?” ask ed Jennie, wiping the tea things with her mother, and referring again to the mortgage. “Nothing but the quinces, Jennie. They’ve borne wonderfully well this year. Nearly two bushels apiece, aid there's fifty trees. But there isn’t much sale fi-r quinces about bore. I I think I'd better put up enough to last for two years, and father will get what he can for the rest of them.” Just here Jennie dropped the snowy d.sh-towel, and had nearly dropped a china teacup ; but though her cheeks were very red she shut her lips tight, and would not speak a word until she was sure. She only remarked, after a little ; “I wouldn't be in any hurry about doing up the quinces, mother.” A few days later Mr. Chester Chil dreth arrived. When they had kissed each other (though Jennie had intended to be quite reserved), and read in each oth er’s eyes all the truth of how they loved eacli other, and the old folks had re tired and left them in full possession oftlie cozy, comfortable, old-fashioned sitting-room, Jennie told him her trouble, and about the quinces. Now Mr. Chester Childretli was a druggist, and replied, quickly : “ You are perfectly right, dear Jen nie. Quince seeds, a preparation of which is popular for dressing ladies’ hair, are now four dollars a pound, on account of their scarcity. I will glad ly give your father that price for them, and would if he had a hundred times as many more. Twenty-five pounds will net him one hundred dollars.” He declared afterward that he nev er in his life saw such a happy girl as Jennie was at that moment. “You see there’s only two hundred dollars needed to clear the debt off!” she cried. “ I’ve part of one hundred —fifty that—Aunt Elinor gave me for my dress the coming year. Of course I intended to give father that; but he has only twenty-five laid awajq and I have thought—What ifwe could make out one hundred, there was the other dreadful hundred—” “’Flie quince seeds secure that. Your fifty and your father’s twenty-five make seventy five. Then, if your moth er and yourself will make twenty-five dollars’ worth of quince preserves for market I will secure its sale with an acquaintance of mine, who is a dealer in fresh and preserved fruits,” conclu ded Air. Childreth, who, though he would gladl}' given Jennie’s father the comparatively small sum needed, would not for the world have offended the independence oftlie little girl he admired so much. Jennie could hardly wait until morn ing to rush to her father, throw her arms around his neck and tell him the whole story. Mr. Childreth stood by enjoying the scene and confirming the truth of her statements. lie told the honest far mer how many countries had been ran sacked to supply the demand'for quince seed, and assured the good man that it was not a fairy tale until he was forced to believe. Mrs. Fort wept for jov “ I think—l do think. Jennie, that father would have fretted himself into his grave before long if it hadn't been for—” “My bangs?” laughed Jennie, “Oh, I overheard him scolding about them that night—poor father ! But Chester likes them, and I really did not think I ought to give them up when they are so becoming to me !” A few weeks completed the plans for closing the mortgage, and Farmer Ford took courage. And it was then that the wedding took place, beneath the beloved old roof.
