THE DEACON'S TITHE. |$Y AUA cAKi.irrox. They bad a new minister Rt .Seabrook. Old raison Thornleigh, who had kept the dock for forty years, had ''one to his long home; and in hi* stead had come au "hones! plain-spoken young divine, with an earnest, fearless eloquence ol his own. And now the worn door-stone of tho little gray church ou the hill wa once more trodden by feet which hud long been strangers to it. Tho minister boarded, having no family, at I>caeon Lan abc c's. "lie's the least bit uncertain on homo points," said the deacon, ieauing mi his hoe-handle and talking across thc fence lo his neighbor (.?ray, who leane..' on his hoc handle to listcti, -"a bit uncertain. Hut I like him -I do, no mistake; and I believe thc Lord's going to bless tts through him !" "Amen!1' was Neighbor Gray's hearty j response. . i They hoed a half dozen bills "i emu in i silence, their hoes keeping time to tho merry song of u bird in thc orchard. Then .Mr. (?ray paused tu wipe tho per- i spiratioti from his lai c. '?This hot weather's liable to make sickness," .^a'ni he. "1 suppose you've heard that on? of the Widow Sperry's boys is down with fever?" "Sim! now you dont't -ay W !"' ex claimed the deacon coinmiseraliugly. ".Make il hurd for ber. won't it ?" "Yes, particularly whin Hbo's so lately lost lier cow. I've been saying tli?t we'd j all (.ugh*, to take hold and make it | up to her. If i'd more than out- cow on | my place I wouldn't -tami to talk long, ; now, I tell you ; but I lost my two best ! om s jast spring. It" 1 hadn't --" It might have laen uiiiutenfionul, that 1 sudden facing uboul us Mr. Gray threw his glance toward thc hill pasture where ? his neighbor's herd of cows) was quietly | feeding. Ali events, the deacon could j scarcely help noticing the action. And he understood its purport. An uneasy ?lutdi mounted lo his face as ho struck vigorously into thc next bili. "Slio ought lo have kept her cow nut of the road. My cattle never get into the mill-pond and drown. If they should, i would,.'; expect anybody to make 'ctn up to me. She'd no moro call, had the widow, lo let lier cow run, than I'd have to turn my whole drove out." "It's a pretty hard case, nevertheless," said Mr. Gray. And thcu the fragmentary conversa tion, tossed piece-meals back and forth across the fence as thc neighbors went uteadly un with their work, drifted into different channels. There had been un interested listener to thc colloquy narrated above. On the shady side of tho wall which separated Deacon Larrnbco'a orchard and cornfield sat. hook in baud, the Rev. .Mr. Weston, lie arose, as the chat which floated to his hearing began to bc of corpi ami liaying, and walked nlowly away along tho orchard path with a thoughtful smile upon his face. That night when the deacon took the shining milk-pails ?rom tho dresser and proceeded to thc farm yard, the young clergyman followed him. He stood leaning against the bars, watching the ?'cllow stars come out in tho sky, and ooking abroad over the deacon's posses sion's, shadowy, now, but substantial enough by daylight. "You aro a prosperous mau, deacon." A smile of supreme satisfaction over spread thc deacon's countenance as ho stood for a moment palting the sleek neck of a favorite cow. "Well, yes," said ho; "but I've made myself. A pig and a pitchfork, sir, was all I had to begin with." "How docs your neighbor Gray get along?" "Gray! well, truth to tell, hull never bc forehanded if ho lives to the age of Methuselah, lie's a hard-working man enough, but why 'tis I cant tell you ; there's ucver a poor creaturo that comes into our town that do-icn't head direct for Jehu Gray's. Must be instinct teaches 'cm ; for be gives, to ' ra all, de serving or not. Hu'd take t!'.o coat off his back ?ft was heeded. He's a good neighbor-a good neighbor ; but he'll never gel any Hiing to speak of, ahead." "Rut lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, wdiere neither moth nor rust dolli corrupt, mid where thieves do not brenk through nor steal," quoted tho minister. "Yes; but, if I mind nie right, tho good Look says .something too about pro viding first for one's own household, -eh ?" Mr. Weston smiled. "I believe ibero is passage to that effect," s d he. "And," went on the deacon, a littlo triumphantly, "if-Neighbor Gray would give a certain portion-" "A tithe?" interpolated the minister. "And not go beyond that," continued Deacon Lai rabee, "he'd be helter off lu one respect and ?io worse off in the other, to iny thinking. I dont believe in-iu indiscriminate giving." "Nor do I," was tho quiet rejoinder. Then there was silence while Deacon Larrabeo tilled another pail with snowy loam. "How many cows have you, deacon ?" "Ten," answered the deacon, with a pardonable pride showing itself in voice and feature ; "and it's tho finest herd in our county. They're grade Jersey." "Yes," returned Mr. Weston, a little absently. Then, after a slight pause, "Deacon Larrabec, I overheard the con versation between you and your neighbor Gray this morning relating to Mrs. Sper ry* and her misfortunes, l'oor lady ! she dors need substantial sympathy. Can not you alford to lend a tithe of your cows to tho Lord?" . "Which means that 1 give one of them to thu widow," uttered tho deacon, with a wry face. "No, sir ; I'm afraid I can't. She wanted lo buy one the other day, bul Ttold her I'd none to spare. It was all owing to carelessness that ulm lost Imr cow, and t dont believe in upholding im providence. Get to going on that way, and wo'd all be on the town farm before wo know it." Mr. Weston wore a thoughtful counte nance, yet a gleam of something liko amusement lighted up his eyes. "Will you sell tuc ono of your cows?" he asked. "I-I have rio need of money uow," replied the deacon hesitatingly. The minister continued : ''1 heard you say this morning that you would bo glad to give a good mau extra wages to help you through your haying, but that you wero afraid ?I would bo difficult to pro cure tho needful assistance at any price. Will you tako me and let mo pay for tho cow in that way?" A twinklo, both genial and quizzical, dawned ip the deacon's gray oyes. For a moment ho studied the young minister attentively. Ho wo3 not at all what his neighbor would have denominated freo-handed, yet ho had just apprecia tion of the quality of beneficence in oth er people. Neither was he a hard man at heart. It was onlv that the prosperity which had attended his every undertak ing caused him to look upon tho lack of it i n a neighbor's affairs as an entirely unnecessary evil,-ono which prudenco and forethought might overcome. Now ho shook his petitioner's hand heartly. "It's a bargain," said he. "Wheo will you take tho cow off my hands?" "To-night., if you will lend mo your assistance," was tho ready response. "Bettor toke one of those Z haven't milked," said the deacon, with a smilo, "and Hfive mo tho trouble" Accordingly, a little time lalor, the minister,accompanied by tho,deacon, lcd his recent acquisition down tho farm house lane, ana away along tho thorough fare of tho sleeping little hamlet to the tiny cottage tvhero dwelt Mrs. Sperry aaa her brood. Th. oro they fastened tho animal to A conveniez, post, rapped softly, and departed, with thc peaceful consciousness which attends upon a i I worthy deed resting upon one of them, at least, aa a mantle. Nest morning when the deacon, hoc on shoulder, was leaving hi? door-yard ! for Iiis corn-field, he encountered Mr*. I Sperry, lier ?yes were red, a> with long ! watching or weeping, and her thin lips j 1 trembled with the emotion which ?bc j i vainly endeavored to com <-;tl j She put out her bauds to him. "Lb a? : con l.arrabee.' faiJ th? "I have to thank ; you, dud to J--tk j?.ur forgiveue??. ph, i 1 have bad sui h hard thoughts ofyoU ! j how cruelly b^d only Cod knows-aud : ? my own heart. Why. I almost come to ; pray that HOUie dreadful mi-fortune j I in ?ghi overtake you !-and all because I you would not ?ell me the COW you meant i ! io give me." "I - really--1," began the deacon. The situation ivas a most embarrassing one, .?nd rendered doubly PO by the knowledge that beside tl.e open window ! pf thc room appropriated to his library, ! the minister wau sitting, no doubt enjoy ing tho conversation iii tho lullc-t mi ure. "Really, Mrs. Sperry I " "Now,"don't try to deny it," juughed the widow, a little nervously, "I know j the: cow, Deacon I .arrul.ee ; ami .." silo laughed uguiu-?'J am bowed down With j contrition, to think of wy unjust feeling toward? you. Hut 1 shall always pray thal you may prosper, hereafter, deacon ; I lor I um sure you will baca a g???l ac j count of your stewardship for the mas ter." The deacou mopped hi* scarlet face iu sore perplexity. How could he cou fe s i thal the gift was none ol iii? !

Brother Weston, I don't believe the :iext lithe will come so hard." Au Episode of Hi" limit Hallie of (Jct I j sb urg, Midway between the contending lines was a .solitary tree (bul iu peaceful times hud given abade to the harvest bauds at their nooning. Karly in the morning -unit Coufcdcruto sharpshooters bad crawled out to this tree and were able to reckon their game al every shot, So destructive in fact, did their lire become that tho wildest imprecations were shouted at them by the federals and threats were made, that ii taken they would get no quarter. All at oucc there came a lull in the tiring from that part of the lino. ?A confederate was y ecu to rise up (rom the bas" of the tree and lo advance to ward tho Federals with his hand raised. Shots were hied at him, bul there was cu riosity ut his approach, aud tho word was, "Wait till we see what he wants to do." Some thought he bad u mimi to desert, und encouraged him with shout.-* of "Come over, Johnny ! We won't lire." Hut, if the Confederate spoke, what he said could not be heard in tho diu of the cannonading and musketry, then grow ing heavy und continuous as the dav wore on. Forward Still became, and nil eves were strained to see what it could bu that he meant to do. There eau lie no lnice on the battlefield till the battle is lo?t or won. Tho mau who raises I he white flag there, or giveH any signal of thal kind, has no right to look for its recognition on the nthei side. He may only trust tn their shrewdness to under stand an emergency, lt might be mendy a trick to deceive. Suddenly tho Con federate dropped upon the grass, and lor an instant was loni to sight. It was thought he hud beeu hit. Hut only for an instant, for a thrill of enthusiasm passed through the Fed?rala, murmurs of admi ration were heard, and then a cheer us hearty as if given in a charge, burst lorth from their throats, and the cheer repeated increase in volume, proved that unselfish actions are possible, and lhere are noble heurts to appreciate and res pond. The I Innfederato sharpshooter, who had been doing his best to destroy his antag onist, had observed in front nf him a wounded Federal, lying helplessly on thu ground between the two lines, and begging in bis agonizing ihirst for a drink, and at the almost certain risk of losing his own lifo, had gone forward :.o civo comfort lo the distressed enemy, ibis it was thal cairned thc Federal cheer and for a lew minutes slopped the work of deal h in that neighborhood. When the sharpshooter hud performed his act of mercy be hastened buck to the tree, and with the warning cry, "Down, Yanks, we're going to lire !" the little, uupremed iated truce was ended and wa? soon for gotw u in the graud event that followed almo-<t immediately aller. Tho next day-tho Fourth ol July-a heap ol' Confederates was found under that tree. Whether the hero of thc day before was ono of the ghastly dead will probably never be known. Faults of Southern Agriculture. In an editorial published in thc ?SJvni HW/,/;/ Titnr.s of September Kl, headed "Agricultural Diitro-s in the South," you make some pertinent remarks in regard to the cause of ihe destitution in tim South, yet you do not mention tho real cause. I was cdu.-aled at tho North, ara thc ison of a furnier, cud my life since tho war has boen spent in educating farmers' sons ; have watched closely the system of agriculture here, and am confident that the distress that will be ?ure to come tho next winter will bo thc result of the farmers' insane idea that they must plant all colton or tobacco aud little or no corn or wheat. Tho owners of the laud aro often obliged to force their renters to plant food crops or none would be plan ted. The cotton and to'jaceo crops aro the money crops, .vhieh tho renters can mortgage to obtain credit at tho country stores. They cannot do this if they raise food crops. The merchant, on tho prom ise ol the crop, sells the poor man any thing and everything that ia called for at exorbitant prices, and when the rents and tho merchant are paid there ?a nothing left to purchase food with. Again, you say the "small farmers of Iowa, Illinois and Indiana have money iu bank." In this you touch upon a vi tal question to tho interest of the South. Tho larmer herc has no banks that he dare trust with money. Now that wo have a Postmaster-general who isa work ing man and not a mere figure-head, why cannot thc influential papers at thc North urge upon him and upon Congress tho necessity of establishing Postoflico banks in which the poe.er classes can deposit their little surp .us and know that it will be safo? It wo. ld bc the means of saving Dillions of dollars to the labor ing class in tho South every year which is now spent in a manner that is of no ben efit to themselves or others. Great as is thc threatened faruino, a circus a few days since came through Brownvillo aud carried away upward of $^,0?fTt?f the poor man's earnings. Establish the poMoffico system of banks and the circus would not get one-half what it docs now, and when a year of scarcity Uko this comes there wonld bo monoy to purcbaso food with. I know from experience that it is next to impossible for thc poor herc to keep their money unless they bavc some *af'- place ol deposit. Urge 'he establishment of postonice or government -avlng-, hanks, 10 which the earnings ot the poor will be perfectly safe, and you will do much toward making tin- South prosperous. Pit I.VC I PA I.

Wyatt Aiken, whose views on farm matters iu the South are Usually con-idered -mund, hw latelv been writing about sheep raiaiug, ami says some things that may be profitable lo those who think that a fortune can be uiadc iu a few years by s liberal iuvest meut iu native sheep, turning them loose iu ibo woods hiring a shepherd aud vis iting thc ranche once or twice a year to receive the profits. Mr. Aiken says: "If the larmer has no secure place for his lotion or corn when harvested, it will surely 'walk oft',' uud he will find his sup lily short xooner than hu expected. So with ids animais. If horses arc not regularly fed au.l watered they will grow poorer every day. if his cows aro allowed all wiuter to bland in the public road at the fence corners, they will shiver aw ay into starvation by ?pring ; and if they have to live with yokes around their necks or their horns tied tu the fore feet, as may .i' seen nowadays on all our public thor oughfares, they will not be remarkable as milkers. And just so il is with sheep, li they Hie to be bought and turned upon thc larm ja-t to have il said that there is a Hock ot sheep ou the farm, but never lo bc called together except at .shearing timo, or when u leg of mutton is needed, il will bc poor economy to in vest in a flock of sheep, even at -fl a head. But if it be economy to shelter the tools, to curry the horse, to feed the coa', and to bc generally careful of every thing on lim tann, then il will prove equally economical to give especial at tention to the dock of sheep. Than sheep nothing pays so well for the amount in vested, when taken care of; nothing pays ?io badly a.s an investment in sheep if left to take care of themselves." Cl'It Kt! NT TOllt'S.
