THE LESSON.
_i
"What Js tho matter littlo woman ?"
"Only tired, John."
Linn Edwards looked up as she spoke,
to smile bravely into the face bending
anxiously over her. ^
"Tired, Lina?" he said, lifljj** the
little figure as he spoke, and taking bis
wife like a child on his knee. "What
have you b>'cn doing to tire you ?"
?'Only the day's work. Don't Worry.
John,'' for a shade passed over the kind
ly face.
"I don't worry ; but I can't see what
makes y<>u con pluin so often oi being
tired I am sine the housework ain't
so much Other women do it."
There was just n little fretfuluess in
John's tone, though he did not mcau to
be uukind.
"I know they do Mrs. Harper has
four children, -;nd takes caro of them
in addition to housework, besides doing
piles of sewing Perhaps John, it is
because 1 have not bad experience in
country work, and don't manege well
I will learn better alter awhile. Now
tell me what you did in town."
"1 did quite well. Sold the whole
crop of wheat at a good price, aud put
another instultuent in the bank for the
Staulcy farm." .
"Your heart is set on that farm,
John."
"Indeed it is Let me once own that
clear of debt, and I shall be a happy
man. It is the best laud in the coun
try ,-and tho house is twice as largo as
this 1"
Lina thought of larger floors to scrub
more rooms to clean, and additional
work of all kinds, and swallowed a little
?igh that nearly escaped her.
"John," she Faid, rather timidly
"don't you think, if you spent part *f
the money on th s house, we might be
very happy here
"Spend money ou this house !" cried
tho attou.irdicd John. "Why, what ou
earth ails this house?"
"I tntan in things for it. N?W the
parlor looks stiff, and is always shut up
I was thinking if we had a pretty carpet
und some curtains id' white muslin or
lace, and a set of nice furniture, and?
aud a piauo. 0 Joku, if I could have
u piano "'
John Reynolds looked at bis wife as
if she had proposed to him to buy up
the crown jewels of Russia.
"A piuno! Do you know what a
piaus iaists?"
"No. Autit Louise had one, you
know, ever since I can remember. But
I thipk if we had a pretty parlor to rest
in the evening, I could play for you, and
fcing. Yuu never heard me play or sing,
John."
"1 have beard you sing, but not late
ly," said John, rather gloomily.
"Uh '. that was just humming roun 1
the house j I mean real singing. 1 have
lots of musio in my trunk."
But you are only a farmer's wife now,
Lina. I thought you understood when
wo were murried that you were uot to
have city finery and pleasures."
"So 1 did, John. I doN't want fine
ry. I dou't want any pleasure but your
love, John. Dou't scowl up your face
so. 1 urn silly to think of tbeso things
at all. There, kiss me and forget it. 1
am nicely rested uuw, and I'll get your
tea in ten minutes."
?fonn pur berdown with a very tender
kiss, and fell into a reverie.
Lit.a Rivers had been a district school
teauhcr in Soottsfield just four months,
when John Ifeyuolds offered her bis
hand aud heart. She was an orphan
lrom infancy, but her father's sister?bad
adopted and educated her in a life of
luxury, and died without altering a will
made years before, leaving her entire
fortune loa charity sspluiu. Liua, left
alone, thankfully accepted the position
ol country school teacher procured for
her by some friends, and was thinking
me a ii.nl burden when John came to
brighten it. She gave her winde gentle
little heart into his kecpitrg ivt. once, ap
preciating at their lull value bis honest,
true heart, bis frank nature, his sterling
good qualities, aud looking with the
tuost profound admiration up hi his tall,
strong frame aud handsome face.
It was a perfect lovo-umlch, for John
fairly worshipped tho dainty, voliuod
little beauty Ivo had married ; and hav
ing married her, ho took bei to his home,
and iu all ignorance preceded to kill
her.
There was no blaroo to be laid upon
him. Living in the old farm house,
where he had pyeot bis entire life, the
one ambition of his heart was to oWn
land, stock, barns, and a model farm.
He bad seen his mother cook, churo,
feed poultry and drudge all her life,'and
the women he knew did the same, and
if Lina made odd mistakes she put a
willing heart into her work, and soon
conquered its difficulties. Surely, he
thought, it was au easier life to be mis
tiess of his home, with the Stanley furtn
in prospect, than to toll over stupid
children in a district school. He had
ueY.c?^cen velvet carpets and lace cur
tains, grand pianos, dainty silks, and
other surrouudiugs thot had boeu Lina's
from baby-hood. Ho had never heard
the wonderful music the little white
hands, all rough and scarred now, could
draw, from the ivory keys of au organ
or piano, or the clear, pure voice in
song. It was an unknown world to
John, where bis wife's memory lingered
as she. scoured tins, strained milk aud
cooked lingo dishes for the farm hands,
lie would have thought it wicked waste,
if not positive /fokWJiity, to draw from
the hank bis hardt^hed savings to in
vest them in beautifying his plain, com
fortable home.
And Lina lashed her consciousness
sharply, telling herself she was ungrate
ful, repining and wicked. Was uot h^r
John tender, true and loving ? Where
among her city frieuds was there a
heart like his ? Had she not knowu he
was only a farmer ?
And so the dear loving little Woman
toiled and slaved, undertook tasks far
beyond her strength, worked early and
late, until just one year after his wed
ding day John Reynolds, coming home
to bis tea, found lying upon tho kitchen
"oor a little souseless figure, with a face
like death, and hands that sent a chill
to his very heart.
The doctor, hi stiiy summoned, looked
grave and advised perfect quiet and
rest. A girl was hired, and John teder
ly nursed the invalid, but though she
grew better the grow pale and weak.
"Take her away awhile," said the
doctor; "try change of n r. She is
overworked."
"Bui" said honest, puzzled John, she.
does nothing but the housework for us
two. She has no child, and our sewing
is not much. '
Tho doctor looked into his troubled
face. "You aro a good man, John
Reynolds, and a strong one," he said.
Will you let me tell you a fSw plain
truths ?"
"Yes. About Lina ?"
"About Lina. You remember, do
yoit not, the tiny, antelope you admired
so much in the menagerie we had here
last summer ?"
"Certainly," said John, looking more
puzzled then ever.
' Suppose you had bought that little
creature and yoked it with one of your
oxen to a cart to do tho ?nute work V
"I'd been a fool," said John ; "that
little thing couldn't work. It was just
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 ami play, but lie made some Ihr
the rough work of this world, und some
for the dainty places, some to draw
men's souls to heaven by gentle loveli
ness. Your wife is one of the latter. If
you were a poor man I would have held
mv tonciin hut von ?m ?? r?f*h - Give
your wile a servant; let her have books,
music, pretty things around her. Lot
her rest from toil, and you may keep
her oy you side. Put her baek in bet
old place, and you may order her tomb
stone, for she will soon need it. Dou't
put your antelope beside your oxen,
John/'
"I will not ! Thank you ! I under
stand. Poor, loving, patient heart."
"That's right ! 'l ake her now for a
little pleasure trip, and got back her
roses."
Lina clapped her hands when John
asked her if she would like to spond n
week in New York, and really seemed
to draw iu new life from the very idea.
It was delicious to see John's wide
open eyes as be entered the parlor of
tho great city hotel, and was shown into
the bed-room, whose beauties wero quite
as bewildering.
"The best room, bo had told the laud
I dy, and l?iua> could not repress a cry
of delight at the vista of a cosy sitting
room with a piauo sti udiiig invitingly
open.
"Oh, John !" sho said, won't you go
in thcro and shut tho door for five
minutes, plcaso V
John obey#d, of course. John, she
thought gratefully, refud?i her nothing
now.
"How hicky I bto?gHt soraq of my
old dresses !" Lina thought, "t have
not worn them since I was a school
marm. Fancy Mrs. Reynolds scrubbing
the floor in this dress V *
John rubbed his eyes and pinched
himsolf as a little figure trailed into tho
sitting-room, made him a sweeping
courtesy, and went to the piano.
Was that the little woman who had
worn print nnd bun-"bonots so long ? The
fair hair was fashionably dressed, and
bands of blue velvet looped the goldcp
curls. A dress of braa 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 fingers, and
John's bewilderment was complete,
?vhen a voico of exquisite sweetness,
though not powerful, began to sing.
Only ono aong, f?ll of trills and
quavers, aud thch Liua 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," h groaned. "I was not
fit to marry such a dainty bird ! But I
loved you, dear little one."
"Aud I love you. John, rough old
John I Let me sing again. I am very
happy to day, my dear husband."
Rut no wonderful trill filled the room
now. In a clear, pure .voice, full of
expressions, Lina saug.
"I kuuw that my Redeemer liveth."
Every word fell like hot Hoars on poor
John's heart, until as the last chord
trembled upon tbe air, Lina turned to
him, stretching out her anus:
"Take me in your arms, John !"
lie took her tenderly to tho room she
had quitted so gaily, and replaced her
finery by a white ' rapper, whose lace
trimmings looked like fair-work to his
unaccustomed eye.
"Are you ^ti rod, lovo/!'" he asked,
with a spasm of terror at bis heart, as
be looked at the white wasted face.
"Yes, tired, but happy, John ?" and
j with a little siijb of entire content, Lint
nettled down ugaiust the warm heart,
whose every throb she knew was all her ?
own.
Mrs. Reynolds was to erpcrioncc her
shale of astonishment during her holi
day, and it commenced by the apparition
of John tbe next day iu a new suit of
handsome clothes, that well became his
manly figure. There was no foppery,
but he looked a gentleman, though he
made more than one grimace before he
got, as he isaid, "well shaken iuto his
store clothes."
'?J'ut .lohn." she cried,"the Stanley
farm ?"
"la sold, dear. You were right ; wo
will make our borne ho lovely, the Stan
ley farm will ue\er co.-?t ate a sigh. 1
have hired two new bauds, so as to have
a little more leisure."
Can I describe that week- ? What
was new to Johu was old familiar
ground to Lina. Central 1'ark was not
Soon exhausted, and the little guide
grew stronger aud rosier every day, in
John's thoughtful ca.e, that provided
plenty of pleasant excitement, but
guarded against fatigue.
It was early in tlio afternoon of a
sunny day, when a train drow up at the
Sco'tt-fiild station, and John banded his
nvudctiijg wife into at nc?- little one
lu.rsc carriage waiting for them.
"A new po: chase, dear," he explained.
Wo are to have a drive every after*
uoon. Dr. Grey son proscribed it."
The house stands where it had always
stood, but Fomebow it has gradually
been undergoing transformation us if
fair hands were upon it.
Tbe dull little sitting-room has been
papered, eavpeted, curtained, transformed
into a cosy dining-room. The still par
lor is a bower of beauty, with a Quo
piano, the daintiest of furniture, soft
muslin curtains, aud a carpet covered
with bouquets of esquiViio flowers; tho
bed rooms are onrpotod brightly, ami
rejoico iu cottage sets, and \a the kitch
en the must good uuturod of stout Gor
man girls, awaited Lina's astonished
gaze OU hor return from the city, and
fairly shed tears when sho a(ldrossod her
in her own language
Tbe neighbors sturod an I wondered.
Comments upou J (din's folly and im
providence fell from many lips, and (>ld
men, shaking their heads, prophesied
ruiu for tho Reynolds farm.
Rut John was as muoh astonished as
any of them, when, after a few years,
he fou*d the farm yielding him a larger
ioooine than ever boioro.
"I do believo, Lina," ho said one day
to.a matronly little woman, who was
dressing a crowing baby, "that your
flower garden last year wne worth a
thousand dollars to old."
"John!"
"You 8<ee it was to get you tho infor
mation aboiit the flowers that wo first
begaa to take agricultural papers; thoro
I found so many useful hints, that I
begnn to think that I knew nothing
about farming. One book after another
crept into the house, and tho 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 bo the
best in the country, too.''
^'And my podltry yard, John ! It
was the papers and magazines that first
gav e me the idea of a model poultry
yard. What fuu we had getting it
started."
"Yes, indeed. That New York trip
was the best investment I ever made,
Lina. I saw so many things there that
I recognired as old friends when I met
them agaiu in print, -the threshing
machine, the rotary harrow, tho im
proved plows."
"Ip bcat9 me, 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 Stauley
larni."
"I was once, but I have something
better now than the Stanley farm. I
have, learned how to manage my ante
lope."
"What?"
But to this day John has never ex
plained that riddle to bis puzzled re
lations.

incredulous and romantic young ladies,

No matter "what other girls may do,"

How to Put on a Cdrset?
At this juncture tho coroner desired
to show to the jury the course taken by
tho ball, add for this purpose produced
the corset worn by Mrs. B?ckhaft at the
time of the tragedy. "You flee," said
he?and hero ho drew tho corset around
his waist, with tho laces in front?"the
ball must have gone in hcra from be
hind. No that can't be, either, for the
doctor says the ball went iu front. Con
found it. I've got it on wrong. *Ah I
this way." Hero tho 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 hero. No, that
can't be, either, for?"
Here Mr. Mather, tho handsomest
man on the jury, broko in : "Dr. Still
man," 9aid he, "you've got that corset
on wroug." Here Dr< Stillman blushed
liko 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 tho ladies clasp them
together iu tbe back< Dou't you know?
I think I ought to; 1 havo beeu mar
ried. If you doubt it, look herCj ^point
ing to the fullness iu the top.) How do
you suppose that's goirjg to be filled up
unless you put it on; as I suggest V'
"That," said Dr. Stillmen, "why that
goes over tho hips." "No, it don't,"
said Mr. Mather, "that fullness goes
eomowhore else?this" way," aud bore
Mr. Mather indicated where he thought
the fullness ought to go
At this a ?ale-faced yo?ng man With
a voice like a robbin, and a note book
under his arm, said he thought ladies
always clasped their corset* on the side.
The pale-faced young man said this very
innocently, as if ho wished to rouvey
tbe iuipreswiou that he knew noVting
whatever of tho iriatter. The jury
laughed the pale faced young man to
scorn, and ouo of them intimated that
be thought the young man was not half
so green about womans' dress as he tried
to appear. Tbe young man was a re
porter, nnd it is therefore probable that
his knowledge was fully as limited as
was apparent from his suggestion, the
juryman to the contrary notwithstand
ing.
Here anotVr juryman discovcredthat
Dr. Stillman bad the corset on bottom
side up. "Doctor," said ho, "put it on
the other way."
Then the doctor put it on in fctme
order, with the lace ?in front. This
brought the bullet boles directly over
the tails of his coat.
"J dou't think,'' said Mr. Mather,
"that tbe bullet went in there, Dootor."
"No, I don't think it did," was the
reply. Confound it, it's mighty lunny
?six married men in this room, and
not one that knows how to put ou a
woman's corset.

"I Taki.s it All dk Same.?An
honest, thrifty wcll-to-da German in a
Connecticut city1, applied to a wealthy
landlord, who rents a groat many houses.
"The house is to let, certainly," said
the owner, "and upon inquiry, I find
you to be responsible and a suitablo man
for n tenant; you shall have it/'
\ era goot, Mr. tt?-?, you matccs
just as many questions as you min i. 1
I takes the hoiiso when you gets ready."
Two days afterwards, the house own
er called upon tho Gorman. "Well,"
he said, "I've inquired protty generally
concerning your character aud means,
and as everybody tpcuks of you as an
honest, respectable man, of abundant
property, you? can have the house."
"Yell, den," said Hans, " I takes do
house. And I wants to tell you I've
asked ail about you among de peoples,
and dey say that you is do imianest land

A little boy who loved to wast his
evenings- in store* aud listen to the im
proving conversation of the elders while
helping himself to sugar, was told the
other night that bereifter he must slay
ut home. '-I wish I was a man," he
said. "And what would you do it you
wore a man?" ssked his mother. "I
would get married, Hud I'd go to the
stores every evening." A very obedieut
boy.
