Two Ways.
AJTEB THE WHIPFEfO.
Pouting and sobbing and bitter thorght;
Foicefol regret that can come to naught;
Smarting reproach and doubt of 'ts mother
(God! that thote two should offend one another!)
;
Fears taking ho 1 that may keep it in check
Till tossed by seme sudden release to its wreck.
Alack, who the b.tter successsion can know
That follows the wrong followed fast by a blow ?
' AFTEB THE KISS.
Vanishing anger and softened dismay ;
A half-naughty little one, yearning to pray:
Unconsciously yearning and sobbing the rest,
Pressed in its grief to a grieved mother's breast
Neither angel nor sinner all good to withstand,
Only God's little child with the world close at
hand,
O mothers! weak petting may oft be amiss,
But never came harm from a sorrowful kiss.
DIYEBGENT PATHS,
The sun lacked an hour of noon, and
was beginning to pour down, scorching
!->? nnnn tlio r>ieoo r?f nnrn-lftTid in the
bottom. The laborers stopped at the end
of a bout to wipe the perspiration from
their heat d brows. It seemed a long
way across the lot, and the dry sand, unshadowed
as yet by the young corn, looked
tar less inviting than the closely cropped
turf under the siady elnj9 in the pasture
lot near by. The little spring, which
bubbled from beneath the gnarled roots
and lost itself a few paces further on in a
tangled growth of cat-tails and wild grasses,
seemed to beckon the tired men to forget
their toil and rest beside it.
Old Hiram rubhed his shining bald pate
with the remains of a red silk handkerchief,
and, settling his paltn-leaf upon his
head, aimed a savage -blow at a thrifty
young burdock, standing so close to a
stalk of corn that it had escaped the tooth j
of the cultivator.
"Now, lads," said he to the three or
four younger inen who stood each at the
end of a new row : 44 les' git back here
agin afore the old horn blows, an' so hev
time ter rense out our mouths afore dinner."
441 declare. Hi," said John Marvin, 441
believe I'll take a rinse now, for I'm powerful
dry. Joe, just keep inv row along
won't you." asked he, carelessly, of the
voung man next him, who had already
loosened the earth around two or three
hills of his own allotment. The other
nodded, and proceeded to bring the idlers
task along side his own by a few swift
strokes of his hoe.
"Marvin leisurely climbed the fence an<1
strolled down the declivity, chopping off
the heads of such mullein stalks as were
within reach, and picking an a stone to
fling at a golden-winged woodpecker that
was foraging on the half-decayed trunk of
a blasted tree growing near his path.
He was just ont of earshot when Hiram
remarked: "John'sagood natu red chap,
but he's mighty lazv. How manv rows
hev we fetched np for 'ira sin' we begun
on to this twenty acres."
44 This makes ray third one to-day,"
said Joe, langhing, " but I guess I'm the
only one that he's asked this morning.
John don't like to work very well, that's
a fact."
44 Ef 1 had to pay the hands ou this
farm, I should a'most benotioned to dock
'im when Sat'dav night, come 'round; "
put in another of the tuen, as he unearthed
a Canada thistle.
li Pshaw, Tom," answered Joe, with a
srnile, 44 John's a philosopher and looks
upon work as one of the necessary evils
existing in this lower world, ne calculates
on dodging it, so far as possible."
14 Ef that's w'at you call a feelosifer.
Joe,"said old Iliram, <4theym animals as
* * ? * _ i?_lJ
is not o mncn count in a corn-nem.
You've ben to sohnle, w'ich is a better
chance nor workin'men, as old as I be,
hed w'en they war boys; an' sohez John,
though I guess be never wuz overly fond
ay a book."
Half-way across the tield the laggard
overtook his fellows.
441 say, boys, if it's as hot as this tomorrow,
I believe that I've got to go to
tor*n to see about some Summer clothes.''
Tom winked at Joe, who looked grave
but. said nothing.
That night, after the milking was done.
John, with a cigar in his mouth, strolled
out into the orchard, where Joe was seuted
under a tree, 'aying the fading twilight
under contribution for raysenough to enable
him to extract the pith from a coarsely-printed
article in an agricultural jour
ual, transferring now and then a thought
to a note-book, which lay upon his knee.
44 T say, Joe." said the former as he came
up, let's go into the village to-morrow. I
want to see about some clothes, and can't
stop to wait for a rainy day, and you can
make some errand in as well as not, so
let's go and have a good time. Let's lay
off a half a day anyway."
Joe closed his note-hook, and deliberately
folded his paper, replying as he did
so, " Can't afford to loose the time, my
bov, don't need any clothes, and, beside,
the work on the farm is already two or
three days behind the point where I should
want it to be if I were carrying it on mv
self."
" If you were carrying it on yourself!"
said the other, wi h acurl of his lip, very
nearly approaching a sneer; "what does
that have to do with laving off half a day?
You don't suppose a fellow is to take as
much pains for old Foster as lie would on
a farm of his own, do you ?"'
44 Why not, John, dosen't he take a
great interest in the men that he hires ?
Aren't we welcome to read his hooks and
? papers when work is done, and doesn't he
take as much pains to look afrer our wel
fare as though we were friends instead of
merely hired laborers?"
4i I should like to know what you mean
by merely hired laborers? I'm as good
as old Forter any day, and don't see any
reason whv I should slave mvself to death
on his far in, because he is sharp enough
to leave books and papers around where
we can pick them up, just as no leaves
salt where the cattle can lick it. He's a
keen old chap, and thinks that if the men
take an interest in keeping up things, as
he calls it, he will get more work out of
them ; hut he don't come it over me, 1 can
tell vou."
" Now, John. I arn really very sorry to
hear you talk in that way, fori think Mr.
Foster is trying to do ns all the good that
he can. Tie expects his work done, of
course, since he pays for it, but a good
man can always get a little more from him
than from anybody else in the township."
""Why, yon act as though he had hired
yon to blow for him. Expect to have
yonr wages raised, don't you?"
' I certainly shouldn't object if I didn't
receive now as mnch as I could have the
conscience to charge. I mean to be worth
more next year, though."
44 But see here, John ; " calling after
him, as he was moving away, 44 you won't
be anery if I speak plainly to you ?"
44 Why, no of coarse not."
- 14 Well, then, I'm afraid that it will make
trouble, if yon try to get off to-morrow,
for the boys think that you 4sojer' just a
little now and then. They're sure to complain
loud enough for Mr. Foster to hear
of it, one or another of them, if they real
charge him, I suppose."
44 Humph! you have guessed it very
nearly," he replied. 44 I cannot encourage
loose business habits in h man whose
only capital lies in his muscles, and I nev
er refuse a men leave to go when he asks
it. Each must judge for himself as to the
I number of holidays which he requires, for
II wish to satisfy those whom I employ."
In a few minutes, Mary closed her book
and was gliding through the halt-opened
door, when her father said: 44 Child,
there was a young man from the village
out here, yesterday, while you were down
at the lower farm, and he wanted to know
if I should object to receiving him as a
son-in-law."
The girl opened her eyes very wide.
44 So you are getting tired of me father?"
44 What put that into your silly pate ? '
44 Why, sir, you know you have brought
us up to consider your own occupation the
most healthful end among the most
worthy of earthly pursuits. Mow, of
course, if I were to go into the village for
I suppose I was wanted since you arc
speaking to me?where would be all my
girlish fancies of
A little farm well tilled, and a little wife well willed,'
and all that ?"
44 Nonsense, girl. I thought that young
Granger's name was Joe not Will?
This time the rich blood, mounting
swiftly to cheek and brow, left no doubt
as to the fate of the young man from the
village.
44 Is that all father?"
44 No. Just see bow much that saucy
fellow, the mere mention of whose name
brings up so much color, is entitled tocall
on me for. Expect he will be asking for
it one of these days."
44 Joe has your note tor five hundred,
sir, and he only takes up half his wage*
every month."
'Oh ho! so you can tell without looking,
can you, Miss Bookkeeper? Then it
has gone so far as that, has it? Pray,howmuch
do I owe you for butter and eggs?"
44 The egg money belongs to Kate father."
44 Yes, yes, so it does. You girls have
that fixed to suit yourselves. What were
the ?>roiits on your flock of sheep last
year?"
44 About two hundred dollars, sir, and
there was not quite a hundred dollars'
worth of butter sold. But I must go and
skim the milk, if you are through with
11
me.
"Don't be in a hurry, child; to-day is
your birthday, isn't it ?"
44 Yes sir."
44 IIovv old are you ?"
44 Why, father, you know that f atn
twenty, don't you ?"
44 Suppose I should, puss, if I stopped
to think about it; but it is easier tp ask
you than to reckon up. IIow much will
you eivefor the lower farm ?"
44 Why,I haven't enough to pay for the
stock that is on it, to say nothing of the
farm. I haveu't over eight hundred dollars
besides my flock of sheep."
44 Go to iny secretary, and bring me that
largo envelope that is in the little drawer
on the left side."
The girl did a9 she was bidden.
"Open it, child," lie said, as she again
stood betore him, "and see if you will
agree to the provisions of the document."
Hastily running her eyes over the paper,
she threw her arms around the old
ma 's neck, exclaiming, 44 Why, you dear,
good father, if you meant to give me the
farm, why did you put in the deed that I
was to pay you a dollar for it ?"
44 Because a gift, without a consideration
therefore, docs not constitute a legal i
transfer. But, Mary, has Joe e\er asked:
you to be bis wife ?"
44 He has said that he should, sir, if I '
were not the daughter of a man in so 1
much better circumstances than himself." ;
44 What uid you tell him ?"
"What could I say, sir? lie didn't!
ask me to say anything."
44 What would vonr answer have been
; if lie lm<l ?"
" That niv father began life with 1:0thi
in jr. and that his daughter has been taught j
! not to consider an industrious young man
I like himself as unworthy of a much better
i wife than I could make him."
' Tut. tut. I can't allow that. My Mary I
is worthy of any young man in the land.'' I
? ? ? ? * ? ? ? ? ? ,
'l'en years have passed since the above
conversation took place.
Farmer Foster is seated at twilight nil- !
dor the old porch, with a grandchild on
each knee. The last load of hay from the i
meadows on the hillside is passing, on its
i way to the barn. The old man seldom re-!
mains in the fields all day now, for he is !
needed at the bouse to mind the children,
be says; and Mary, but a tritle more
matronly in her appearance, quite agrees j
with him.
A bearded man, with a rake upon his '
shoulder, walked behind the wagon, stops j
to close the farm-yard gate. As the child-'
ren run to meet him, we notice that he j
extends but a single hand, for the posses- j
sion of which a playful scnfHe takes place, j
Joe's right arm struck liis last blow for !
I freedom at Five Forks, hut lie often qniet-1
lv remarks that it is surprising how* much j
work a man can do with one hand after '
i he is used to it.
Seating him>elt upon the lower step, he !
bids the little girl ask mamma if a poor J
cripple can have a bowl of bread and milk.
The tiny sprite laughs and runs into the
house.
Returning presently, eherepli-d, "Yotb !
tbir, if be won't carrjr off the thpoon."
Just then a bov, riding up to the gate,
calls out, " Mr. Granger, I brought upyour
mail from the village."
"Thank you. my lad," anawered our
/
ly get the idea into their heads, and yoo
know, kind a? he is, he won't stand any
nonsense."
44 Neither will I," answered the other,
hotly, " and if any sneak says that I shirk
my work, because I don't grub like a nigger
all the time, it won't make any difference
with my going to town when I choose
to."
Next morning, as the old farmer sat on
the porcu after breakfast, readiug his
newspaper, John came around the house
and asked leave to go to the village for
the alternoon.
Looking over the top of his spectacles,
the old inan said :?14 Well, John, we are
pretty well driven, you know ; last week's
rtiin has given the weeds such a start that
we shall have brisk work to prevent their
getting ahead of us; though, of course,
you understand that and wouldn't usk to
get off unless it were necessary. You can
go."
As John passed through the gate, Mr.
Foster turned to his daughter, who sat
near by, busy with the farm accounts, and
said; "Mary, just see how many days
and iialf-days that young man has laid off
Since ine spring worn cuuimeuucu.
Running her nimble fingers over the
pages, she said : 44 Why, father, you don't
iutend to charge them to him, do you."
"Certainly not, child, I only want to
know if old Iliram Foster isn't loosing
too much money by hiring a hand who
has so much business off the farm in the
busy season."
' lie has been away three whole days
and five half-days, since work in the 6Ug
ar-busb stopped. Shall I go back any
further than that?"
A No, that will uo. I guess that I shall
have to recommend John to turn his attention
to something not quite so confining
as farm labor, after his month is up."
' Thot mpoim Kir that vou will dis
mmmmmmmaMaaeammmmmmmmmmtmmmmmmm
old friend, "you needn't get off fromyoi
horse, I'll come for it."
Opening a nowspaper and glancing rapi<
ly over its columns, Joe said, " There
another strike on the railroad, and tt
militia have been called out. Bless mi
if the discharged brakemeu. haven't bee
stoning the troops until thev have pri
voked them into firing upon them. Let
see, here's a list of wounded: Patric
Morrow, James McCaffrey, Bernary Coyl
Mat Ferguson and John Marvin."
" What!'' said old farmer Foster, ''ca
that be the young fellow that used to wor
on the farm, Joe ?"
u I fear it is, sir. John was railroadin
the last that I knew anything about bin
He was conductor of a freight train for
while, but was so careless and unstead
that he bad to go back to a brake."
'' Poor fellow# I am sorry for bim," r
marked Mary. " He lias no home to e
to."
" I'll just drive down to the village
and see how badly he is hurt," said tt
younger of the two men, rising. '' W
were boys together, and if John is i
trouble, I must do what I can for for him,
Late that nipLt, Joe returned, bringin
with him in c hired conveyance, his ol
schoolmate, stretched upon a bed. H
had found him upon the Hoor at the rai
way station, and refused to leave him t
the care of the town authorities.
The poor fellow never recovered L
former vigor, but docs light work abot
the farm, and lectures soundly all id)
young men whom he chances to meet.
" I have a right to preach," he sayi
"since I luinished a text ir. ray own pei

lr A Kentucky Wonder.
, A correspondent gives the following
;* account of a natural bridge up in -the
; mountains, which, in Rome of its proportions,
at least, exceeds in curious in
; terest the celebrated Virginian geological
n contortion of the same nature :
J" In Garter county, Kentucky, there is a
* great curiosity called the "Natural
Bridge," which well repays a visit to
those attracted by strange and sublime
scenery. It spans a stream called Little
" Carry, which falls into Little Sandy river.
k This bridge is 219 feet in the span, 196
feet high, 12 feet wide, and 5 feet thick
in the middle and 30 feet at the ends,
being arched underneath and level on
a the top. One hundred feet below it
$ there is a cascade with a fall of 75 feet,
and*two miles distant there is another '
~~ cascade with a fall of 200 feet, From
>? the bottom of the ravine a spruce pine
has grown up to the height of four feet
above the bridge, making its entire
:v neignt :suu ieer.
e The sides erf tho ravine are so ragged
" that, were it not for a natural stairway,
a person on the top of the bridge wishing
'jj to get under it would have to walk two
miles. It is interesting to compare the
dimensions of this bridge with those of
the celebrated Natural Bridge of Virginia,
0 which is 90 feet in span, 80 feet wide, 50
feet thick, and 220 feet high. The bridge
18 is not the only natural wonder of the
neighborhood. It its vicinity are two
e streams known as Big Sinkey and Little
Siukey, which emerge from the ground
'' good-sized streams, and after a course
of about two miles again disappear.
There is also an artesian well which formerly
threw up a jet about four fret
high, of the size of a common barrel ;
r but, having been obstructed by stones
and trunks of trees thrown irto it by
^ persons desirious of finding ont its
! depths, it now only plays to the height
of a foot above the level of the pool.
" > Some years ago, in the month of
August, tiie writer encountered an enor>r
raous rattlesnake crossing tho road near
u the bridge. In length he just reached
across the road, and in thickness he
r_ seemed to measure iu the middle of the
1 body about as much us an ordinary
' churn. I tied my horse, got some good
rocks and tried my best on him ; but my
volley only caused him to mako the
y woods ring with his rattles. So, not
liking the look of his eyes, I mounted
g mv horse and made a flank movement,
e leaving my hero in possession of the
- field. I told an old citizen what I had
seen. He said, "signs of that snake
have been found there for twenty years.
> I suppose he lived in one of the large
. caves around the bridge.
s Iron in the United States.?Thenurnv
ber of hands employed in the primary
s production of iron in the United States is
roughly estimated at 140,000; 58,000 of
^ whom work in the rolling mills, 52 000 in
f preparing ore and fuel, 25,000 in preparing
fuel for rolling mills, 12,500 in blast fur*
naces, and 2 500 at forges and bloomeries.
J Add the 800,000 engag-'d in manufacturing
s articles of iron, and we have a total of;
940,000. The approximate value of the
,, pig iron manufactured last year was S75,v
000,000. Adding to this the product of
the rolling mills and forges, the amount is J
s ?138,000,000. Adding, again, the value j
of articles manufactured of iron and the j
value of the iron manufacture of the coun-1
rT try for the year is ?900,000,000. Of rails j
9 we produced in 1853 but 87,000 tons, ana
I in 18G9 the amount had risen to 580,000.
Of steel rails we laid in the latter 3 ea?* j
II 50,000 tons, 15,000 of which were of domestic
manufacture, and it is further esti'
mated that the quantity of steel rails laid
this year will reach 150,000 tons.

The Well that Leaked.
When the General Manager <?f the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway was
pushing that great enterprise southward
at the rate of three miles a day, he came
across a veteran Missouri farmer, who,
for fifty years had lived on his frontier
plantation undisturbed, even by war*,
pestilence or famine, so far from disease
and telegraphs was he.
One night the advance men came
upon his farm-house, when the following
dialogue ensued :
" Then ye're gwine to build a railroad,
are ve ?"
"Yes."
" Whar am it comin' from, and whar
am it gwine to go."
"From Sediilia, in Missouri, down
through Missouri, Kausas, the Indian
Territory, and so on through Texas to
the city of Mexico."
"Are you's gwine to run it through
mv plantation ?"
'"Yes."
"Do you hear that old woman? We've
got to move !"
"Not necessarily. AJ1 we want is the
right of way."
"You can have that air ; but who'd
o' thought a railroad would ever hit us?"
" You've got a good farm here "
u Yes ?fair to middling."
" How many acres ?"
" About four thousand."
" Not many improvements ?"
" No?it takes so long to look after the
cattle that I can't improve much."
"Have you got a good well on the
premises ?''
" Yes?a crippin' good one ; only in
leaks a little."
" Leaks ? How's that ?"
"You see we dug down forty feet
when we came to rock, but no water.
Then I walled it up, and we haul the water

awoke and begged for me icy and help,
but the louder he begged the harder and
faster she applied the cane, until exhausted
with her labors. She then took her
clothes and left for the house of a neighbor
friend, where she remains, despite
the entreaties of her husband, who escaped
from his situation by the assistance
of the neighbors, to return.

readily elude his intelligent view. The

An Injured Wife's Revenge. ? In
Louisville, a woman who had been subjected
to a long course of abuse and outrage
from a drunken husband, took the
following method of revenge the other
day. lie had returned from one of his
usual debauches with more than usual
rum aboard, and throwing himself upon
the bed, fell into a deep drunken sleep.
While thus dead for the time being, a
brigh* idea struck the wife by which she
might revenge her wrongs and free herself
from bondage. Accordingly she proceeded
to pack her clothes, and having
done this, so as to have them ready for immediate
removal, she took a large needle,
ana, carefully threading it with a large
and strong thread, she approached the
bed where the husband was lying, and
wr pping him up in a strong quilt, sat
down and carefully and securelv sewed
him up in it, simply leaving his head
out. Having completed all the necessary
arrangements for the successful operation
of her plans, she seized the cane
which had so often been the instrument
of her torture, and began laying it on
the sleeping man with all the force shj

Keep the Hair Unblemished.?"I am like as
old hemlock?w.thered at the top," said a venerable 1
Indian Chief, pointing to his thin and bleaching 1
locks. Thousands of men end women in civ lizea '
society, much yonnger than the old Sagamore, are
! like him, "withered at the top," simply because they
1 have neglected to use the means of preee: ving and
beautifying the hair which science had placed at
their disposal. If Lyon's Kathaxros be faithfully
applied once or twice a day, to the fibers and the
scalp, it is Just as impossible that the hair sli uld
i decay, wither, tall out or become harsh and fuzzy, as
I that a meadow, duly refreshed with uightly dews and
| sunlit rains, should become arid and barren of green
blades. This matchless preparation not only keeps
the hair alive and the sk n of the head in a healthy
and clean condition, bnt actually multiplies the filaments
and imparts to them a lustre, flexibility and
j wavy beauty unattainable by any other mode of
treatment. It does not, like the metallic and sulpha- ^
roue hair dyes, dry up the natural moisture of the
scalp, but supplies nutriment to the roots of the hair cl,
and vigor to tho fibers.

Thia expression is often used, bat it is manifestly ab- PrJj
surd. Gloom and melancholy are not 6pontaneour. a '
They are unnataral mental condi''.ons and usually have as
ma
corresponding causes. If there is no apparent reason Di:
for despondency, it i-? a symptom of phyrical disease. In ^ '
nine case-* out. of tor the stomach, the liver and the bui
bowels are responsible for the cloud which rests upon the
an<
brain. In all such cases immedia'e and permanent relief are
may be obtained by the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bit- s'^
ters. If the digestive organs are weak an invigorant is tk
necessary ; if the liver is disordered sn alterative is r y
required ; if the bowels are constipated or irregular a "r
gentle aperient Is needed. In that famous vegetable ??
remedy these three medicinal properties are commingled
with several others of a scarcely leas important charao- jfi
ter, and hence it .p.-edily cures every species of hypo- 8r(
chondria arising from material causes, by removing the ^
causes themselves. GL
In the summer, when disorders of the stomach and J.
bowels, bilious complaints and all diseases which affect its
the ussimilating and secretive organs are especially prev- ''J
alent, the importance of having this invaluable tonic, La
alterative and corrective in every dwelling, and within ga
the reach of all who travel by land or water, cannot be ?
over-estimated. An it is a staple article throughout the
?nnnt,n it would be next to impossible totiud a settle- iti
ment, near or remote, unprovided with a stock of this w '
famous vegetable restorative. ?
