Lina Edwards looked np as slic spoko, to smile bravely into the face bendiug anxiously over her. ? "Tired, Lina 7" lie said, lifrthg the little figure as he spoke, and taking bis wife like a child on bis knec. "What bavo you b>'cn dojta" to tire you ?" "Only the day's work. Don't Worry. John,'' for a shade passed over the kind ly face. "I don't wovry ; but I can't see what makes you con plain so often pt beinj: tired I ?ni sure the housework aiu't so much Oiher women do it." There was just a little fretfuluens in John's touc, though he did not mean to be uukind. 'T know they do Mrs. Harper has fi ur children, and takes care of thorn in addition to housework, besides doing piles of sewing Perhaps John, it is because 1 have not bad cxperieueo in country work, and don't manege well I will learn better alter awhile Now tell uie what you did in town." "I did quite well. Sold the whole crop of wheat at a good price, aud put another instalment iu the bank for the Stanley farm." "Your heart is set on that farm., John." ''Indeed it is '. Let me once own that clear of debt, aud 1 shall bo a happy man. It is the best laud iu the coun try,-and tho house is twice us large as ibis !" Lina thought of larger floors to .icrub more rooms to ch'au. and additional work of all kinds, aud swallowed a little sigh that nearly escaped her. "Jibn," j?bc Faid, rather timidly, "don't you tliink, if you spent part el* the money on tl> s bouse, wo might be very happy here F" "Spend money ou this house !" cried tho nttuuished John. "Why, wbat ou earth ?ils this bouse'(" "1 mean in things for it. Now the parlor looks stiff, aud is always shut up I was thinking if we had a pretty carpet und some curtains id' white muslin or lace, aud a set of nice furniture, ami? aud a piuuo. O Juhu, if I could have a piano '." John Reynolds looked at his wife as if bbe bad proposed to hint to buy up the crown jewels of Russia. "A piano! Do yuu know what a piano Costs ?" "No. Autit Louise had one, you know, ever since I etn remember. But I thipk if we bad a pretty parlor to rest in the evening. I could play for you, and hing. You never heard me play or sing, John." "1 have beard you sing. but. not late ly," said John, rather gloomily. "Ob ! thut was just humming round the house ) 1 menu real singing. I have lots of music in my trunk." Rut you are ouly a fanner's wife now, Lina. I thought you understood when we were married that you were uot to h;.ve eity finery and pleasures." "So 1 did, John. 1 doN'i want fine ry. 1 dou't want any pleasuro but yt.ur love, John. Dou't scowl up your face so. 1 *iin silly to think of these things at all. There, kiss me and forget it. I am nicely rested DOW, aud I'll get ^our tea iu ten minutes." John put her down with a very tender kiss, and fell into a reverie. Lina Rivers had been a district school tcaoJier in Scottstield just four mouths, when John Reynolds offered her bis Ii und and heart. She was au orphan I coin infancy, but her father's sistcr?feud adopted and educated her iu a life of luxury, aud died without altering a will made years bet?re, leaving her entire fur tuna iou elmrity uspluiu. Lina, left alone, thunkluliy accepted tho position ol country sehool teacher procured for her by soiuo friends, and was thinking life a h.rd burden when John came to brighten it. one gave her whole gentle little heart iuto hi* keeping ivt once, ap preciating at their lull value bis Ii01169t, true heart, bis fruuk nature, his Sterling good qualities, and looking with the must profouLKl admiration upon his tail, strong frame aud handsome luce. ll waa a perfect love-match, for John fairly worshipped the dainty, refined little beauty Ivo had married ; an-.I hav ing married her, be took hci to his home, and in all ignorance proceeded to kill her. There was no blaiuo to be laid upon him. Living iu tho old farm house, where he had pjient bis entire lifo, tbe one ambition of bis heart wns to own land, stock, earns, and a Model farm, lie bad seen his mother cook, churn, feed poultry and drudge all her life,'and the women ho knew did the sutue, and if Lina mado odd mistakes site put a willing heart into her work, and soon conquered its difficulties. Surely, be thought, it wns au easier life to be rois ttess of bis borne, with the Stanley furm in prospect, than to toll over stupid children in a district school. He bad luvende en velvet carpets and lace cur tains, grand pianos, dainty silks, and other surroundings thut had beeu Linn's from baby-hood. He had never beard the wonderful music the little white hands, all rough und scarred now", could draw from the ivory keys of au organ or piauo, or the clear, puro voice iu song. It wns an unknown world to John, where his wife's memory lingered as she. scoured tins, strained milk and cooked huge dishes lor the farm hands, lie would have thought it wicked Waste, if not positive i^^nitv, to dr.r.v from the hank bis baroRjHjled savings to iu veit them in beautifying bis plain, com fortable home. And Lina lashod her consciousness sharply, telling herself she was ungrate ful, repining and wicked. Was uot her Job's tendor, true and loving ? Where among her city friends was there a heart like his ? Und she not kuowu he was only a farmer ? And so the dear loving little Woman toiled and slaved, undertook tasks lar beyond her strength, worked early and late, until just one year after his wed ding day John Reynolds, coming home to his lea, found lying upon the kitchen Boor a little souseless figure, with a Face like death, and bands that sent a chill to bis very heart. The doctor, hi stily summoned, looked grave and advised perfect quiet and rest. A girl was hired, ami John tcder ly nursed the iuvalid, but though she gtuw better she grow pale and weak. "Take her away awhile," said the ib-ctor; "try change of a'r. She is overworked." "I'ut" said honest, puzzled John, she does nothing but the housework for ua two. She has no child, and our sewing is not much.'' Tho doctor looked into his troubled face. ''You are a good man, John lloyuolds, und a strong ouc," ho said. Will you let me tell you a low plain troths ?" "Yes. About Liua ?" ''About Lina. You remember, do tott not, the tiny antelope you admired so much in the menagerie we had here lust summer ?" "Certainly," said John, looking more putczldd then ever. ' Suppose you had bought that little creature ami yoked it with one of your oxen to a cart to do tho -*ame work ?" "I'd been a fool," said John ; ' that little thing couldn't work. It was jttst made pretty to look at and to play." "That's it, John. Now I don't think God ever made any woman to look pretty and play, but lie made some for the rough work of this world, und some for tho dainty places, sot -0 to draw men's souls to beaten by gentle loveli ness. Your wife is one ol the latter. H you were a poor man I would have held mv tiiiifrii.? bt*l VOti j??-f* :? ???'?]! ?????? 1 ] your wile a servant ; let her have books, music, pretty things around her. Lot her rest from toil, and you may keep her Tly you side. I'ut her back in her old place, and you may order her tomb stone, for she will si/u) need it. Dou't put, your antelope beside your oxen, John. ' "I will not ! Thank yott ! I under stand. I'. loving, patient heart." "That's right ! 'fake her now for a little pleasure trip, ami ^?-.t back her roses." Liua clapped her hands when John asked her if she would like to span I a week iu New York, and really scorned to draw iu new life from the very idea. It was delicious to see John's wide open eyes as be entered lire pat h r ol the great city hotel, and was shown into tho bed room, whose beauties were quite as bewildering. "The best room, be bad told she hitid I dy, and Linn could trot repress a cry of delight at the vista of a COSy ?iiiing room with it piano standing iuvitingly open. "Oh, John !" sho said, won't you go in there and shut tho door for live minutes, please ?" John obeyed, of course John, she thought gratefully, rafustRl her nothing now. "How lucky I brought some of my old dresses!" Lina thought, "I hate not worn them Bince I was a school marm. Fancy Mrs. Reynolds scrubbirJg the floor in this dress I" 1 John rubbed his eyes and pinched himsolf as a little figure toiled into the sitting-room, made him a sweeping courtesy, and went to the piano. Was that the little woman who had worn print and sun-lionets so long ? The fair hair was fashionably dressed, and bands of blue velvet looped the golden curls. A dress of blue silk, with softest lace trimmings and ornaments of pearls, had certainly made a lady of Lina. The piano was yielding its most bewitching tones to the skilled little fingors, and John's bewilderment was complete, -vhen a voice of exquisite sweetness, though not powerful, began to siug. Only one song, f?ll of trills and quavers, and then Lina rushed from the piano into John's arms. "John, my darling," she said, "hold mo fast. Don't let me slip from you!" "O Lina," ho groaned. "I was not fit to marry such a daiuty bird! Dut I loved you, dear little one." "And I love you. John, rough old .John ! Let mo eing again. I am very happy to day, my dear husbaud." Rut no wonderful trill filled the room now. Iu a clear, pure .voice, full of expressions, Lina sang. "T kuuw that my Redeemer liveth." Every word fell like hot-Hears on poor JoIiii'b heart, until as the last chord trembled upon the air, Lina turned to him, stretching out her anus : "Take me in your anus, John!" lie took her tenderly to tho room she had quitted so gaily, nnd replaced her finery by a white wrapper, whose lace trimmings looked like fair-work to his umiucutitomed eye. ?Arc you tired, loycj*^. he naked, with a spasm of terror at bis heart, as he looked at the white wasted face. "Yes, tired, but happy, JohnV" and j with a little sigh of entire content, Lin t ne.-lied down against the warm heart, whose every throb she knew was all her own. I Mrs. Reynolds was to experience her shaie of astonishment during her holi day, nnd it commenced by the apparition ; of John the next day in a new suit of handsome clothes, that Well became his manly figure. There was no foppery, but ho looked a gentleman, though he made more than one grimace before he got, as he said, "well shaken into his stoic clothes." i "Rut .John." she cried,"the Stanley farm ?" J "Is sold, dear. You were rijjlit ; we will make our home ko lovely, the Stan Icy farm will uever cost me a sigh. I have hired two new hands, so as to have I a little more leisure." Can I describe that week 1 What I was new to John was old familiar ground to Lina. Central Park wa.s not :o n exhausted, and the little guide ; grow stronger and rosier every day, in John's thoughtful care, that provided plenty ot pleasant excitement, but guarded against fatigue. It was curly iu the afternoon of a sunny day, when n train drow up at the Seo'Udi. Id station, aud John handed his v. ...-.!.': h-g ?if~ into a "?"t. little one horse carriage waiting for them. I "A new pnrcbaso, dear." he explained. "Wo are to have a drive every after noon. Dr. Grey son prescribed it." The house stands where it bail always stood, but ?ouiobow it has gr.uln.illy been undergoing transformation as if fair bauds werft upon it. The dull little .silting-room has boon papered, carpeted, curtained,transformed into a cosy dining-room. The still par lor is a bower of beauty, with a fine piano, the daintiest of furniture, soft muslin curtains, und u carpet covered with bouquets of esquisito flowers; tho bed rooms are carpotod brightly, u:id rejoice iu cottage sets, and iw tho kitch en the most good uutured, of stout Ger man girls, awaited Lina's astonished gaze on her return from tho city, nnd fairly shed tears when she addressed her iu her own lunguago. 'fire neighbors stared an 1 wondered. Comments upon John's folly ami im providence fell front many lips, and old men, shaking their hcatls, prophesied ruiu for the Reynolds farm. Rut John was us much astonished as any of them, when, after a few pars, he I >un I the farm yiehliug him a ljrgcr income than ever before. "I do bclieVo, Lina," he said one day to a matronly littlo wouian, who was dressing a crowing baby, "that your dower gardco last year was worth a thousand dollars to rild." "John !" ?'You see it was to get you tho infor mation about the flowers that wo first begaa to tako agricultural papers; there I found so many useful hiuts, that I began to think that I knew nothing about farming. One book after another crept into the house, and the time I thought would be wasted, taken from farm work was spent in reading. Now, look at the labor-saving machines I have bought. My orchard is going to be the best in tho country, too." "Aud my podltry yard, John ! It was the papers and magazines that first gave me the idea of a model poultry yard. What fuu we bad getting it started." "Yes, indeed. That New Y'ork trip was the best investment I ever made, Liua. I saw so many things there that I recognized as old friends when I met them again in print?the threshing machiue, the rotary barrow, the im proved plows." "jUC beats mo, John," said his uncle one bright day, "where you find so much money for tomfoolery, newfangled and nousense and fallals for Lina, and yet give so much in charity. I thought you wero crazy to buy that Stanley farm." "I was once, but I have something better now than the Stanley farm. I uut? learned bow to manage my uutc lopo." "What?" But to this day John4 has* never ex plained that riddle to bis puzzled re lations. -i nimm bmii Telt/ Your Mother.?I wonder how ninny girls telltheir mother every thing]!?

All this, most incredulous and romantic young ladies, they will do: although .'hey gaze at your fresh young faces admiringly aud send 1 or give you charming verses or boquet. No matter "what other girl* may do." don't you do it. School?girls flirtatious may end disastrously, as many a foolish and wretched young girl could tell you. Your yearning for somo ouc to love is a great need of woman's heart. Hut there is a time for everything. I) in't let the bloomaud freshness of your heart be brushed off iu silly flirtation. Render yourself trucly intelligent. Aud, above all, tell your mother everything. ''Fun" in your dictionary would bo indiscre tion in hers. It would do no barm to look and see. Never be ashamed t> tell 1 her, who should be your best friend and confide^*,, all yo t think and feel.

At tbis juticture tho coroner desired to show to tbe jury the course taken by the bull, arid for this purpose produced the coreet worn by Mrs. Buckbari at the time of tbe tragedy. "You ace," said he?and hero ho drew ttic corset around his waist, with the laces in front?"the ball must have gone in here from be hind. No that can't be, either, for the doctor says the ball went in front. Con found it. I've got it on wrong. *Ah 1 this way." Hero the coroner put the corset on up side down. "Now you see," pointing to the hole in the garment, which rested directly over the hip, "the ball must have gone in here. No, that can't be, either, for?" Here Mr. Mather, tho handsomest man on the jury, broke in : "Dr. Still man,*' said he, "you've got that corset on wrong." Hero Dr.; Stillman blushed like a puppy. "Well," said he, "I've been married twice, and I ought to know how to rig a corset.'" "Yes," said Mr. Mather, "but you don't. You had it right in the first place. The strings go in front, and the ladies clasp them together iu the back. Dou't you know? I think I ought to; I have beeu mar ried. If you doubt it, look here, (^point ing to the fullness in tho top.) How do you suppose that's gcir*g to be filled up unless yon put it on; as I suggest?" "That," said Dr. Stillmen, "why that goes over tho hips." "No, it don't," said Mr. Mather, "that fulliicse goes somewhere clso?this way," aud bore Mr. Mather indicated where he thought the fullness ought to go At this a pale faced yotfug man With a voice like a robbin, aud a uoto book under his arm, said ho thought ladies always clasped their corsets on the side. The pale-faced young man said this very innocently, ns if ho wished to couvey the impression that be know not'ting whatever of tho matter. The jury laughed the pale faced young man to scorn, und one of them intimated that he thought tho young m:.u was not half so grecu about womans' dress as he tried to appear. Tbe young man was a re porter, and it is therefore probable that his knowledge was fully us limited as was apparent from his suggestion, the juryman to the contrary notwithstand ing. Here another juryman discovered that Dr. Stillman bad the corset on bottom side up. "Doctor," said he, "put it on the other way." Then the doctor pnt it on in reverse order, with the lace in front. This brought the bullet holes directly over the tails of his coat. "I don't think,'' said Mr. Mather, "that tin; bullet went in there, Doctor." "No. 1 dou't think it did," was the reply. Confound it. it'? mighty iunuy ?six married men in this room, and not one that knows how to put ou u woman's corset. "I Takks it Am.dk Same.?An honest, thrifty well-to do German iu a Connecticut city, applied to a wealthy landlord, who rents a great many houses.
