Joe S. is the fortunate possessor of a mother iu-luw, and, what be probably thought more of, among his horses was one known as Quaker. Now Quaker Was a g<.od roader, aud could aod would jerk a wa>jon with two iu it iu 2:51 on the road, aud the border he was pulled in and tbe more he was yelled at, tbe faster he meant to ho. In fuct, when a competing horse ranged alongside and a strung pull was taken, accompanied by yells, be thought be must do his level best on trottiug, and you bet be did it. Not many years ago, when the county fair was held where Master Joe then lived, be had old Quaker hitched up to a 130 pounds three quarter seated wag on, and, as he Was getting in, mother in law wished to go with him. He in form d her that he was going to the town clerk's office at the l?W r cud of the Tillage (about a tuilej, and if she was in a hurry to return she would have to drive back alone, and then cramped the wagon for her admittance ; and with head dftllpiug and sloucbiug gait old Quaker walked aloog, taking the ill assorted pair to the town clerk 's office. Now, be it known, Joe dearly loves fun, aud will have it as ottep as possible, whi'e mother-in-law ? a rigid, old fiigbitted, sky-blue Baptist, undoubted ly very good, but unfortunately possesied with the idea that to laugh is to sin. It so happened that every team at that time was going to tho fair grounds, or else was walking; ho Quaker had no ehaoce to "score up," but. just us they arrived at the office ui the town clerk, S. saw Jack Barucs cotniug on his way to tbe fair. Now Jack's mare has tbe reputation of being 4 or 5 seconds faster than old Quaker. To turn Quaker around, jump out, and advise mother-in law to drive slow going home, was but a minute's work j aud then holding up bis hand to attract Jack's attention, he told him he would pay chiekeu fixings and otcetctM if he would range alongside Quaker at speed, yell, and spirt the old horse up the street to the Fair Ground's entrance. A nod, and Jack touches Lady Culter with his whip, sings out git ! and lays for Quaker, who, hearing the stepper coming, grabs at his bit. Mothcr-tu-law takes hold of reins in Iroot of the buttons; puts feet against brace iron iu frout, and as the lady ranges alongside, Jack yelling lively, mother in law takes ber strong pull, screaming whoa ! to stop her "auiniilo " 13ut he didn't stop?not much?he didu't. Tho pull was just enough to steady him good ; whoa ho evidently considered to be meant for a sell to the other horse, und si|uutted to go his level best, und just did it. Now you bet ! Barnes was actually getting left behind, and warming up to bis Work he commenced in right good earnest to sing out, -'Hi Varr ! Go er long ! What aro you about ! Git, won't yer ?" and they d'd git?nice?"both on 'em." The people they passed seeing their spjed aud the old lady's hat on tho back of her neck, her shawl streaming out bohind, and the courage with which sho hung on to the lines, clapped their hands and encouragingly sung out, "Good, old gal!"?"Gay old bird !"?"2:40 !"?? "Bully for old Quaker!" Aud as they passed tho two hotels the fast boys on the piazzas gave them three cheers with a vim?in fact, with several extra vims. Jce's mother in law took the first evening train for her Green Mountain home. His parting words were, "he should not dsre allow ber to drive Qua ker sgain, as be had cautioned her to drive slow, and she had goue end beat one of tbe fastost horses in town.'' Joo said next day, with a quiet twin kle iu his eye, that his wife did not give him e "curtain lecture" that night, and when parties put up their little bets on it, he proved by Jaox Bernes that they went out to Pittsburgh for their ohickeo fixings and etceteras, end didn't get beck until 6 o'clock next morning, A Western Incident. A target shoot was a grand thing among the rough pioneers; there were some visi tors from beyond the mountains, and each rifleman was particularly anxious to display his own accomplishment before ihe Grangers. Mike Fink was among them?tie prince of marksmen. But on this occasion he waa unusually quiet and reticent. After exhibiting their skill by "cut ting the center," to the satisfaction of the visitors, it came Fink's turn to per form the grand final feat of the occa* aion. This consisted in setting a tia cup on the head of cue of the party, and placing him at the distance of fifty pscca, shoot ing the cup off the head of the person supporting it. Mike as usual seledted Joe Stevens as cup bearer. All koew his skill and no ono would hesitate to have performed the service, They did not know, however, that bnt a short time before this Mike had fallen oat with Joe, and had patieutly waited the time for hit rovengo. Joe accepted tho honor with alacrity, especially gratifi-id at Mike's comraeudatory remarks, as he re quested him to perform the service. Fink expressed himself confident that he could ? plug the foremost side of the cup, pro vided Joe would hold it up, for he allus held it kind o' stidy like." The distance wjs measured?tho cup bearer took his station; tho shining hel met was placed upon his head. Mike took bis ''peg," pricked his flint, primed hisgrelock, poised his rifle, took aim and fired, The ball crushed through the brain of his former friend and comrade, and Joe Stevens fell prone to the earth and expired without a groat. Mike's vengeance was satiated. But Joe had a brother there that uay~ ^.^^ He, as well as the oth?r p-trsoa'rp'^. sent, knew that "Mike Fink bad playnd foul." Scarcely lias the light smoke wreath from Mike's fatal rifle vanished into thin air, whsn Dick Steven**, the brother of the murtlercd Joe, brought his unerring rifle to bear upon the mur derer, and in an instant a bill was crash ing through the skull of Miko Fin'-: and he fell dead in hi* place at the p^g from whence be la-i seut the messenger or death to a fellow being only a few seaou 1 before. A deep and wide pit wa? dug and in to it the rude baokswoodsmen lowered the lifeless forms of murdered and mur derer and there?through long ages for gotten?the two silently moulder to dust. [Ikioicr Obedience to D'ctt.? Many can stiil recollect when tidings came of the silent heroism with which more than five hundred soldier.*, in the wreck of the Birkcnhoad, met death in the spirit of obedience to duty ; and that, too, when there waa none of the excite ment of battle aul of victory to cheer them on. The soldiers stood in their ? ranks on the deck of the sinking ship while the women and children were quietly put iuto ouo of the boats. '"Every one did as ho was directed," tsuys Captain Wright, one of tho few who escaped to tell the tale; "and there was not a murmur or a cry among them till the vessel made her fin il plungo. All the officers received their orders, anl bad tkem carried out, as if the mcu were embarking instead of going to th.' bottom. There was only this difference, I never saw auy embarkation con ducted with so little noise and confusion. When the vessel was just going dowu, the commander''?not of the soldiera, Liu of the ship?"culled out, 'All those who can swim jump, overboard, aud make for tho boats.' The officer begged the men uot to do as the commander said, as the boat with the women must be swamped. Not mere cliau thrco made iho attempt. And so tbty sank among tho waves, carrying tho habits of duty, which they had learut as foldicrs, into that last act of sclf-aacrificc."? A?> Ed ward btrackey in Good Word?.

"The crops are not only bad in every cense ef the teem, but the expense of securing them it everywhere excessive.', In those quar ters where tho wheat has not yet been cut it is deteriorated by e second growth, and when it has been put up in sheaves the wet weather hss made whole field quite unsuitable for human food. Bar ley and oata have also suffered in tho same way, and in a word, the destruction of the cereal crops in Scotland end the North of Bngland is nearly complete.

In that island the disease a few weeks ago was very prevalent, bat for some undiscovered cause its ravages havo been arrested, and toe crop tbeew will be at least tolerably good- Through out England and Scotland in those localities where potatoes have for many years been extensively grown the abort coming is now said to range between thirty and eighty per cent.
