ONLY A FARMER'S WIFE.
Two women snt logethor nt sunset in
tho porch door of b white cottage thai
stood under its "ancestral tree" and
among ita tj?-i? I? ol wheat and corn, like
a > vision of a qui t resting place
ior .?onifc weary, suffering human soul.
And one of these two women hud
eyes to see. cars to hear, and a heart to
iVcl and appreciate it all. Sh ? was i
tall and stately lady, app ir ntly j.) n
thirty years of ago?not uxuetiy hand
some, but with a grace of air m l nan
ner peculiarly her own. Tho Oareful
toilet, the nameless air of elegance and
luxury, tlie pale uheek, tho soft white
hands betrayed the city d.ttne. Win!
the weary "dunce in her large beautiful
dark blue eyes, which oven thu quiet ol
that sumel hour eouhJ not dr ve away,
showed that time had not dealt gently
with her and her heart's idol, but had
; thrown them, scattered and ruineJ, at
her feet.
Her companion, was some five ve u
her junior, und many times prettier?.1
little round'faced, apple uhcoked woman
?with dark blue eyes and dark brown
hair, nnd a rounded figure that was s t
off to the best advantage l?y the after
noon dress of tinted muslin that site
wore.
At present the pretty face was almost
spoiled by a querulous, discontented ex
pression. She wns contrasting her own
hnnd, plump and small, but. certainly
rather brown, wi h the slondor white
fin.crs of l:cr city friend, all g'.itterin ?
with rings "Just look at the t'-vo . '
she exclnimol. ''That conies of making
bu' rr nnd choc e, and swecpintr, and

truth that said th .t woman's work was

Oh. dear, dear! Tn think th it you

nothing in the wot Id compared with you
I am siek of being only a farmer's wife.'
Maigaret Von IJowth looked down at
her grumbling little friend with a 8 id

"Jenny, it scorns to me. ns wc sit here
in this quiot plaOJ and I ink out over it I
these pleasant fields that are your own
it seems to me that you are aituou wuk

"I dare say you would never like it.
Margaret. You wouid uover wish t >
change places with inc."
"Perhaps not. Would you net like
to chango with me ?"
"Yos."
?And he Mrs. Von llowth, instead ol
Mrs. 11 irnm 1'arVe ?"
Jennie lu s-.taf. ?1 She learl) lot d

is ; tliat i? all "
? And that is n gr?>at d ul. J nny, if
your wish cuuld he granted', do yon w
what your life would be?" said Mrs
Von Uf.wth, coldly.
"Wl at yours in I suppose Whit any
lady's is in your position."
"Hut what is that life. Do you
know?"
"How should 1 ? '
"It Is a weary one, Jenny, with more
genuine hard work in it than all y iur
makiug of butter and cheese."
"Oh ! Margaret."
"And, Oh ! Jenny, believe mc, my
dear, there aro bo people ou earth who
work harder than the fashionables who
only have their own amusements to pro
vide for. A long life of mere amuse
ments is a dog's life, Jenny, at the beat."
?I chould' Hkc to he convinced of it
by actual experience," said Jenny, d mbt

"So 1 said and thought once. I ha e
been so oonvinocd And it is all vanity
and vexation of spirit, my dear."
"Hut how ?" pers'sted Jenny."
"How? In- ten thousand wa)s ll

You pH. t rise and drc?s, and shop, and

"Horrors !"' cjnculutod Jenny.
"Halls that you must go to in spite of

' "Then don't wish him to be a city

Tako lly H?fr?The Origin of
TiwtFhrase.
Every one lias jfWd this phrase but
few know i\s origin. The following
account of it is goer enough to he true:
Many years ngfi a tiue looking old
gentleman froni^ljVVestcrn Virginia
entered n store lEJuashvillo Tennessee.
S.iid store was owucjl by a bluff, honest,
old trader, who k'.iow more uhout the
quality of tho counter than he did about
the fineness of the fabrics on it?never
theless, between thu two extremities of
that shelf cuntri vino to make both ends
meet the necessity > of . the ease. The
Virginian east hhj^ejes around the
? i. 1.1 ?....ii...?1 .
"Well, neighbor,* I sec you have got
hats."
"A slight sprinkle," was tho answer.
??NVhar yc from ?''
"Old Virginia," wia the response.
'?Right kui irt old State," replied the
T-'imhsm: an. "but getting rather loo old
to keep her liar on." /
"What do you mem ?" inquired the
Virginian.
"Well, just what 1 say, uncle; s'e
can't keej) her bar on; for instance,
now. 1 should thin? you hey been a
right healthy child offtlfl Old Dominion
but she lia? 'shed' y)u at last, and like
Samson of old that's flie way she is
losing all U.c best bar off her venerable
bead." X
'1 he olil Yirgiuian4lot'kt.'d around tl.o
store rather bothese* with the liberty
this Tcnncscseeuu waA taking with bis
mother State, and huafiy remarked :
?l eaaie hero tojtalk about hits,
stranger, and not bar."*"
"Well, jvtll, uncle,, don't get wrathy
now. I was only vcuturiug a political
opinion about populati;u in general, and
on (hit wo weti't quarrel, but bet?re we
look at the h its, as tbty aro intimately
connected with the jXuda, 'eposo we
t:ik\; n bitte otroiid i ?
The proposition was agreed to, the
liquor wits imbibed, and next followed
the I lltS.
Th ? merchant tossed down lour or
live wool bats of various sizes, and in
vited the old gentleman t> .select one
which would tit him. He looked at
t u in, (xaii.in d the sizes, said the}
would do. and requested the store-keepei
to hau 1 liitu a few more.
"Th it is all tho sizes I've got" said
he, "but hen a a few more, if you would 1
like theut better,"' and so saying he
to-scd dowu three more.
"J belli's all right,'' said the old
Virginia", turning them around, and
tho .-tout old store keeper, blowing with
exertion, descended from his perch,
where hu was straddling from shelf to
cmuter. As boou us he reached the
floor; the old Virginian remarked that
be ha 1 not got enough yet.
"Oh, you want 'em for your niggers?"
s.i the Store k ep< r. "\\ ell, why d;du !
3 .u say so when 1 was up ?" and again
pr >c*adcd to perch himself up like a
mercantile Colossus When he had
Id-wed himself into his former positiou
the old man quietly remark id :
? I wern't talking about niggers!"
Tho fact is. the old mau was enjoying ;
the extra trouble thai lie had put the !
Tcuncssccau to.
Well, wh it do y ?u with sj m iny hat si'
"1 want them for my sods," sail the
old man
The store keeper 1 egao to count thetn
on tho counter. "Fight, a prjtty big.
spread of boys already, I'll swear but
here goes; and added one. and tbeimtnth
er. and j>ut a fourth, and picked oIT
a fifth, and finally teeing the old man
immovablo he tossed down three more,
and was about to descend himself, when
the old man told him to hold on and
throw down a few 'O'"o'''
??Oh, come uncle," said ho, "you are
joking," but to please him, be threw
d iwn twenty.
?Tina's just ouc too many," said the
old man.
??W hat.?you don't mean to say you
have niactcou sons? Wbar in the name
[of Tennessee, i re they?"
"They are in Tennessee?Hght here in
the city?up at tho hotel," said the man
"Stranger," said the store keeper, "if
you kru show me nineteen boys of your
raisin, thur's the hata,"
"Held ou then," said thu old man,
and o'l he started. Iu about teu minutes
down the street bo came, leading a lino
of nineteen boys, marching single file,
each bearing a gun, uud iollowed by the
vcuorublo mother. They entered tho
merchant's store, aud ranged along the
counter, the storc-kucper rau his eyes
along tho line with astonishment.
"Aud you say these boyB uro all
yours 7" he inquired.
"Ask their mother?she Bays they
are," replied the old man.
"Do you say so, madam 7" he inquired.
"Yes, I do, aod 1 ought to kuow,"
was the reply
"Well, you might, I'll swear," said
tho store-keeper. I:01d friend," he ad
ded, "I ain't got a Word to say?just
take them hats, aud mine, too 1"
To those who are beut on matrimony,
but have not found a suitable partuor,
we offer urgent advice. Let them pa"k
up all their property and start immedi
ntely for the inountatnons distjict/ to tho
extreme cast of Huiignry. They will
find that at this scuson of the year a fair
is held of marriageable young mca and
women. From all quaters long trains
of ehuriots wind their way to tho plaiu
of KaliuoM. They are luden with house
hold furuiture, nnd followed by tho cat
tle of the family. In the midst of these
goods may be seon the young iady whom
her family has brought toseek a husband
at the fair She is dressed in her beat,
with brilliant Bilk scarf and scarlet petti
coat. These caravans take up their
position one after another on oaoside of
the lain, while on the other side n cav
alcade of youog men approach and de
ploys along the whole line. The tneu?
young WallachiatH, for the most part ?
arc dressed in their best g iat skins and
make what show of horsemanship they
can. After both parties have taken up
their respective quarters opposite each
other, the father steps forward and begin
to ncgot'ate marriage for their children.
The question asked on theso ?ccasious
arc, we fear, of a somewhat sordid char
acter. "How many bullocks?" "How
much money? ' "Your daughter's fur
niture looks rather old; that chest of
drawers does uot shut properly. I mun
find s^inethiue: better thuu that f?w iny
son. Such would doubtless be a or
reel report id the conversation held iu
this primitive if not poetical Arcadia,
previous to clinching to matrimonial bar
gains. The business is, however, carried
out wtth a promptitude equal to its frank
ness. As Soon as tho parents >re agreed,

How Birds arc Taught to Sing.
Each kind of birds sings its own pecu
liar notes, but all may be taught to sing
regular tunes. Tho mocking-bird and
thiuth learus tunes without training.
But by a regular education, other birds
may become line performers. A contribu
tor to the Nursery says:
Last summer I was at a friend's house
at Nahant. I rose early in the morniug.
and went down stairs to walk on the pi
uzza. While there I heard as I thought
some person whistling a tune in a very
sweet style. I looked arouud but could
sec no ono. Where could tho sound
come from I I looked up, aud saw a lit
tle bird in a cage. Tho cage was huug
in the midst of flowers aud twiuing
plants.
"Can it be," thought I, "that such a
little bird as that has been taught to sing
a regular tuuc so sweetly!"
I did not know what to make of it
When my friend came down stairs sho
told me that it was the little bird who
had whistled the sweet tune. Then my
friend cried out to the bird, "Come, Bul
ly Bully, sweat little bullfinch, giro us
just one more tuae." And thou this
little bird hopped about the cage look
ed at its mistress, aud whistled another
sweet tune. It was eo strange to hear a
bird whist In a regular tone
"Now, Bully," said my frend, "you
must give us 'Yankee Doodle, Come,
come, you shall have some nice fresh
seed if you will whistle'Yankee Doodle."
Aud the little thin^ did whistle it, much
to my surprise.
My friend then to!d rac that she had
brought tho bird from the little town of
Fulda iu Germany, where there aro lit
tle schools for teachiug these birds to
sing. When a bullfinch has learned to
sing two or three tunes, hois worth from
forty to sixty dollars, for he will bring
that price in Franco or England.
Great skill and patience are nenJ?^ *^

have the time to give to tho children
under their charge so much caro as the
bird teachers give to their bird pupils.
The birds arc put into classes of about
six each, and kept for a time in a dark
room. Here, when their food is given
to them, they arc made to hear music,
so that, when tboy have eaten their food
or when they want more foid, they will
sing and try to imitatj the tuno they
have just heard. This tune they proba
bly couuect with the act of feeding. As
soon as they bogiu to imitate a few notes
the light is let into tho room an 1 this
cheers them still more, and makes them
feel as if they would like to sing. Iu
some of these schools the birds aro al
lowod neither light nor food till they
begin to siug. These aro the schools
where the teachers are most strict.
After being thus taught in classes each
bullfinch is put under the care of a boy,
who pluys his organ from morning till
night, while the master or mUtrcis of
the bird school goes round to sec how
the pupils are getting on.
The bullfinches seem to know at oueo
when they aro scollel and when they
are praised by their master or mistress;
and they like to be petted when they
have doue well. The training goes on
for nine months, and then the birds have
got their education aud aro scut to Eng.
laud or France, aud sotuetimesto Ameri
ca, to be sold.
All animal'), all birds, and all reptiles
? even fishes?are susceptible of culture
and improvements. So areplauts, roots,
and fruits. Aud, above and beyond all
are human buiugs capable of almost il
limitable development, both of body and
mind
Olive Logun commenced ono of her
lectures at Newark recently with the re
mark :
"When I sco a pretty girl I want to
olasp her to ni) arms."
"So do we," shouted tho.boys iu the
gallery.
For a moment, Olive was uonplusscd,
but, recovering her sell possession, she
replied:
"Well, boys, I don't blame you."
Sartorial Indignation.?A live
well ou-other's-cx pease last Spring was
indebted to a German tailor. Last
Juuc tho tailor called for his pay.
"Well Mr. Schmidt, you must call

could ouly say :
"First, May; then, Yune; thor., You

Jenny Lind's Simplicity.
Says Hans Christian Anderson, of
Jenny kind, in his "Story of my Life" ;
"On one occasion only did I hear her
express her joy in her talent and her
self consciousness. It was daring her
last residence in Copenhagen. Almost
every evening she appeared either in tho
opera or at concert; every hoar was in
requisition. She heard of a society, tbo
object of which was to assist the unfor
tunate children, and to take them out ot
the hands of their parents, by whom
they were misused and compelled either
to beg or steal.
"Let me," said she, give a night'?
performance for these poor children; but
we will have double prices.
Such a performance was given, and
returned large proceeds. When she was
informed of this, and by that means-a
number of poor children would be bene
fited for several years, her countenance:
became, and the tears filled her eyes.
"Is it not beautiful,'said she,' that I
can sing so?' Through her I first be
came sensible of the holiness there is ia
art; through her I learned that one most
forget one's self in the service of the So?
preine."
When a negro jury in Mississippi
went out to deliberate one juror asked
another:
"Is dis a hanging case ?"
"To be sure, nigger," was the answer.
"Well," said the first juror "dis nig

we hang him. 110 go for hanging, and
