! In the year 1919, young man, who was
rich, and engaged in a lucrative busiHess in
Cincinnati, became enamored of beautiful
and amiable girl-the daughter, By the way,
of wealthy parents-~and, after krfef ccuris
ship, married her. He loved her dearly
She loved him dearly. A fortune Of hap
pineSs seemed in store for themi but evil
days came, and after brief bat violent
struggle with fortune, the yeung man be-
came bankrupt. He was left without dol.
lar, bat MT without hope. The gold
mines OF California were open to the sdVen-
turous aud to the industrious. He would
leave his beautiful wife und seek lis glitter
ing shores, where he would remain until his
fallen fortunes were retrieved. The resolu-
ton once taken was soon executed. He
came to Caliiornia--bui the cloud still hung
over blIn. He was active. enterprising and
perseVeTng; yEs while others around him
were gathering The golden harvest in album
dance, his every project failed. For eight
years he continued thus. He became sick,
weary and disheariened, but his pride would
not allow him TO write home for assistance,
lie was at last reduced to sell newspapers
upon the streets for living. A few weeks
dSo HS was at II OlSOme street wharf, upon
the arrival of the mail steamer, aud among
the passengers vino came ashore, he caught
glimpse of a richly dressed lady whom
he thought he knew. He followed her to a
hotel, got fair view and recognized her as
his wife, whom he had not seen for eight
years. He was poorly dressed, but his afFec-
ton conquered his pride, and he Immediate
ly made himself known to her. Tue rec
ognition was followed by beautiful exhibit
ton of unabated and unfal,ering love. The
iady's pareEts had died leaving her un heir
ess Of great wealth. She had not heard of
her husband for eight years, and fearing for
his safety, she resolved to visit this State
and make enquiries for herself. The lady
closed her conversation with her husband by
putting her arms about his neck, and saying,
Nov, dear George, we can 60 home and
be bappy as we used to be-" They did go
home on the steamer which left here last
Monday. This story is strictly true - Cal

we may actually state that almost one death
out OF every four occurring in England may

is terrible: 100 900 deaths q year.
| Next TO consumption, but long distance
from it, follow the three complaints of the

dysentery, which, together, produce annually
about twenty six thousasd deaths. After

OF life, otaer diseases are of little weight in

PRAYER.

There is much in all prayer that passes
our understanding. It is the meeting point
of the seen and unseen. 1t is the border
land between Earth and Heaven. 1t IS the
contract and communion of finite beings
with the Infinite What wonder an analy-
els of ours should fail to unwind all lis mys.
teries and explain oil its divine economy
II is enough thar wherever religious wisdom
has opened its lips to teach anything it has
taught this; enough thar the great body of
believing men since Christ, if we may not
SAY since the beginning. has proved it that
all Revelation, calmly. by prophetic, un-
anxious, assured authority, promises especial
: blessings to il; enough that Christ, by his
example and by his lessons, enioins it: II
two of you on earth shall agree as touching
anything that they shall ask it shall be done
for them. "For where two or three are
gathered together in my name. there am
in the midst of them. .''-Dr. Huntington.

A I4ADY'S OPINION OF a LADY:
MAN

MAN
Mrs. Stephens in. her excellent monthly
| magazine, thus :spitches-in" against a class
of men who are becoming too numerous. -
Hear what she says:
sour ow private opinion OF the Lady 3
Man is, that he is thoroughly contemplate
"A sort of specimen OF the hardly worth
thinking about, nut shell with the kernel
withered up-a handful of foam, drifting
over the wine of life, something not alto
gather unpleasant to the fancy, but of no
earthly use. A woman of sense would as
| soon put TO sea in q man-of-war made OF
shingles, or take up her residence in u
cardhouse, as dream of attaching herself 10
| a lady killer.
"Women worth the name are seldom
deceived into thinking our lady's man the
choicest specimen of his sex. Whatever
their ignorance be womanly intuition must
tell them IN at the. men who live for great
objects. and whose spirits are so firmly knit
t hat they are able to encounter the storms
of life-men whose depth and warmth OF
fe cling resem BILE the powerful current Of a
mighty river, and not the bubbles on its
surface, who If they loye. are never smit, Ell
by the mere beauty of foxm or features
that these men are far more worthy even
of occupying their thoughts in idle oments
than the fops and men about town with
whose attention they amuse themselves.
1t we were to tell him this, he would laugh,
he has no pride about him, although full OF
vanity; and it matters not to him what we
may bravely affirm or quietly insinuate.

impervious to 'ridicule us hod-carrier. and

when and Where Deep Flowing is Beneficial.
An English paper discusses this subject at
some length, and the points brought out wiH
interest and instruct American readers.--
We condeuse them in the paragraphs be-
lew:
Deep blowing is most effectual in autumH,
exposing the soil to the influence of frost,
rain, and air, during the winter, which zcs
upon the mineral ingredients OF the soil, rem
dering them available for succeeding crops;
puIverizing the soil, and thus facilita ting the
passage of the roots into the soil. As re-
CARDS the period or rotation, it should pre-.
eede FOOT crops, Cor, in this country. Indian
corn,J or may be the first blowing for fallowL
ing preparatory Ito the wheat crop. ss
Deep blowing is most beneficial to stiff
clays, and, as rule, We may plow deep
when the subssil is Of the same character
as the surface, If both is tenacious, or when
the subsoil is composed of good clay, only
requiring atmospheric influences to sweeten
it. Deep cultivation shon Id be avoided in
nearly all very light soils, and in blowing
for crops after large applications Of man1fes
thus 6arying it too deeply; or in turnrg un-
der clover orother green crops Deep Plow-
ing in autumn, on most clays, is equal to a
half dressing of manure. Clay from which
the air is excluded, exhibits dark blush
color. After draining II is not advisable to
bring to the surface more than two inches Of
clGy snbsoii at a time, otherwise more 10
brought up than the frost, &C., can fit for
the growing good crops s.-RGral NeiS York;

NY BOYHOOD.

All mel those joyous days are goneI
little dreamt, till they were flown,
How feeting were the hours.
For, lest he break the pleasing spell,
Time bears for youth a muff1edsb bell,
And hides his face in flowers.
All! well mind me of the days,
Still bright in memory's tattering rays,
When all was fair and new;
When knaves were only found in books,
And friends were known by friendly looks
And love rs always truef
While yet of sin scarcely dreamed,
And everything was what it seemed,
And all to bright for choicet

And Crusoe still could make ME weep,
And Santa Clause rel oiee!
When Heaven wns pictured to my thought,
In spite of all nay mother taught,
OF happiness serene)

One glorious round OF holidays,
Without school between.

MONEY.


The de-ire to be rich is not evil of itself. II
fs nonsense for a man to disclaim the de-
sire for wealth. and urge upon the world the
idea that il should be poor. Money is nei-
ther an evil or good of itself; it has not a
morei character. It is simply an agent;
and whether it be good or evil depends upon
the manner in which it is used. It is like a
sword. Whether sword be in the hands
of Benedict Arnold, bathed in his country's
blood, or in the hands of a Washington
welded for justice and liberty, it is sword
only, and has not character. Whether il
be an instrument for good or evil, depends
on the caracter of him who holds the hilt
and not on the sword. So it is with mon
ey. l, is an agent; it is gigantic motive
power that thunders around the world. i
the Devil stands engineer, it thunders on
freighted with untold mischief, scattering
oppression and cruelty and wrong. But i
IL be guided by the spirit of love and truth
Il is like the sun, shedding light and sum
mer on the world. 1t is an angel of mercy
and love, when it is guided by the love o
: Christ. Beechcr.
