"Shut up, Nancy tell ye ! don,

Aud Nancy closed her lips, and
the agent went his way, anl Titus
Closely went forth to pillow las
ground with tho great old wooden
blow which his father aud grand
father had used before him.
And timo passed on. The news
paper agency was established at the
village postof,icc; hut Titus did not
patronizc il. lie had said that he
wouldn't! But in one thing he was
consistent; he would not allow his
wife or children 10 borrow papers
of his neighbor Dccpwatcr IL ne
knew it.
Ono evening Titus Closely and
his wife took tea, by invitation,
with ncighbor Dcepwa,er.
If declare, Nancy" said Titus,
on their way home, prudence
clearwater heats all creation for
cooking, don't she? I'd no idea she
was such hand ut it. j wonder
where she got the fresh strawbcr'

"Shc preserved them herself

"O,-Git cout! Them wasn't pre-.

tus."
"Eh! Can you do it?"

Her papcr?"
Yes, she found the receipt in The
newspaper. And that's where sh,

Titus changed the subject of con
vel'sation.
Autumn came, and The Agricul
raj Fair was held in an adjoining
town. Titus went over with YOKE
of what he considered very fine OK
rn; but he found when the cxhi6i
ton camo off that he was far bchinc
the times. New breeds Of which
he had known nothing, had beer
introduced, and his own animals
were not deemed worthy of notice
"Whew!' whislled Titus, as he
sat in his kitchen with u crumplcC
report of the awarding committed
in his hand. A friend had given
him u printed document. "Johl
Deepwater has got the prize foi
sheep. By hockey! I'll bet | cIiT
more wool than he does next sea
son."
because you've got more sheep,
suggested Nancy. But wait anC
see. The new breed is II very valu
BILE one"
"Bah! Think what it cost him
fifty dollars for pair on em!"
And" added Nancy, 'ho solo
two of lis spring lambs to Mr.
Thompson for eighty dollars"
'Git eout!"
"Prudoncc told nc so. JOIN
Dccpwater saw so many fattcrins
accounts of those sheep in his pa
por that no knew it would be SAFE
to invest"
Titus referred again to the Re
port. .o,,
Hello! I'm blest if Polly Dow
ncr hasn't got the first premium fol
cheese"
"She found out how to make then
in her paper. ! tell yc, Titus, i'll
u good thing to have a good news
paper. l wish you'd"
tBah Don't talk TO me| anc
Titus threw down the Report, anc
retired from the kitchen in disgust
The winter passed and the spring
work was done; and the time fol-
sheep shearing came. Titus Closely
sheared one hundred and fifty sheep
and obtained therefrom not quite
six hundred pounds of wool. being
less than an average of four pounds
