Exhaustlveness of Brain work.

The following beautiful passage is by
the Rev. J. T, Corning. twill be ap-
preciated BY all the brain workers ;
While I sit at my study tab lie With my
pen in hand, the finger moving W th tar
dy pace at the beckon of the brain,
hear right below my window, in the ad-
jaoent field, the monotonous ring of q la
borer's hoe upon the corn hills. While
he goes, whistles hour by hour till the
clock strikes twelve. and then with raw
euous appetite irs to his beautiful bu'
simple meal, only to resume his task
again and pursue it to the setting Of the
sun.
AS stood at the window watching his
toll, aud turned again to nv pen and pa
per. [ asked myself how it happened
that the man with bis hoe will labor is
eight or ten hours day 81 ith less fatigue
than the man with his pen will toll three
Or four. Hugh NJ iller was great work
er with his shovel and pick-would have
made good hand in slate quarry, in
guarding railroad, or digging canal.
But one night, as you know, he shot him
self in q Fl of nervous fever. What was
the difference between the great geolog ists
and the man with the hoe whisting un-
der my window Simply this, the form
err was worker of the brain, and the
latter worker of the muscle. Let this
man with the hoe lay down his husbandry
for little while to study one of the
stalks Of corn or the emistay ofone oil
those hills of soil, and very likely he
would soon learn what it is to loee ones
appetite. and hear the clock strike near
ly all the night hours in feyerish wake
fulness. And ehus we get a great organ
ic law of our being, to-wit: that brain
work subtracts vitality from the founta in
of, while muscle work only draughts up
on, the ramifying streams of life. 1t isl
by scientific observers that a
man wi use up as much vital force 10
his brains two hours as he will

An Enoeh Arden Case in Missouri.
A Second Husband Gives up has Wife
and three Children

The assertion that truth is stranger
than fiction is certainly illustrated in the
following sketch, and we are indebted to
J. G. Ryan, the agreeable first clerk OF
the steamer st. Luke. for the principal
itenys:
During the first year of the war, .
NJ. Waldrup left his pleasant home IL
Central Missouri and shouldered his
musket to fight for what he considered
right, and to spill his blood, if necessary.
in defence of the Confederate cause. At
home he left yonng wife and one child,
and from that time till last Sunday they
never heard from him.
Nj. Waldrup passed through the
struggle safely, and was paroled ID st
Louis in 1865, So soon as he Ccould earn
money enough he started to find his wife
and child. He visited his. ola home, and
called on his neighbors.-But his search
was unsuccessful. The only informal ton
he received was that his wife had taken
the child and gone to live with some re-
latives in Galloway county.
Visiting Galloway county, he obtained
work on a farm, and settled down to pom
der over the whereabouts Of his wife and
child, and to earn money enough to con-
tinue the search.
In the meantime Mrs. Waldrup had
heard that her husband was deld, and
had gone ia live with some rela ton near
Cedar City, opposite Jefferson City,
Missouri. Here she became acquainted
with well7to-do blacksmith, whose
name we have not learned. In due time
they were married, last week were living
in their comfortable home at Cedar.City,
and Mrs. Waldrup had blessed the black
smith with three fine children, the finest
five years old.
Last Saturday Mr., Walsrup rode
leisurely into Cedar City, aud hating at
the blacksmith shop requested that wor-
thy to shoe his horse. While conyersing
on the heat of the weather, crops &C., the
blacksmith learned Waldrup's story, end
having heard his wife tell about her
loe. husband, surmised, the truth, and in
bis blunt honesty invited Mr.. Waldfup
to 90 over to the house with him. Tae
recognition was mutual, and the wife
tainted in her first husbands arms. At
ter the first agitation Mr. Waldrup weat
back to the shop, and the men tulled the
matter over ssnsibly and cody, and
agreed to allow the woman to decide as to
which man she would cling.
After bordering tbamatter over in her
own mind the doubly mated lady deci-
ded to 90 with her first husband on con-
dition that her second allow her to have
the children. BY some process Of reason
ing, inexplicable to us, he decided to
give up wife and children. and Mr.. and
Mrs. Waldrup decided 70 come to ST.
Louis.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1871-08-17

Yesterday the St. Luke stopped at the
landing and Mr.. w. came on board and
engaged passage for himself and three
children, and the blacksmith assisted his
wife on board, and then brought on the
children. Then came an affecting scene
that brought tears to the eyes Of captain,
clerks and passengers. The deserted
husband took first one child and then
the other in his arms, and kissed them
passionately. while the tears 70 He'd down
his cheeks. Then be babe goodbye to
his wife. who seemed deeply affected, and
lastly to Mr.. Waldrup. The two men
gazed in each Others faces, shook hands
long and earnestly, and the blacksmith,
by strong effort of will, released the
hand of Mr.. Waldrup and quickly walk
ed ashore, never turning his face toward
the boat.-St. Louis Dispatch.

4 story Of western Hanging.

Several years ago. when the West was
comparatively new country, an lndlyid-
nal.presented him self at the door OF a
log grocery in the settlement of which
we write and asked if there was Judge IN
the place. Upon being informed that
the storekeeper himself was judge, the
stranger proceeded: /.
"Well, Judge, you see the facts OF
the case is th is. / was travlin' along
with pardner down here piece, as he
showd me a silver dollar which he had.
Well, wanted the money, and when he
WASH t look ing I popped him under the
ear with my pistol. Then | took his sill
YER and tobacker and cum along alone !;
but got to thinking the matter over,
and don't think I did just the right
thing to ny pardner. My consh uns has
been troublin' me, and | think [ 'orght
to be hung. Now, Judge, if it wouldn t
be too much trouble, I'd like to have
you try me and have me hung. If you
doubt the facts in the case, there Is the
dollar took from my pardner, and you |
find his remains down the road piece
under log. I'll feel obliged to you if
You will have me hung.
The Judge told the stranger to make
himself comfortable over at the hotel.
until he could send some men down the
road aud investigate the matter, and if
they found the body he would call jury
and try the stranger as he was desired.
The dead map being found, the Judge
summoned jury, and sent word to the
stranger al the hotel, that if he would
step over to The store, they would give
him trial.
The stranger appeared Immediately.
shook hands with the Judge anu jury and
invited the court to take drink, and APP
peared grateful aud satiied with the pro-
ceedings
The trial proceeded socially, and the
tender-hearted jury brought in verdict
Of guilty of manslaughter in the first de-
gree. A look Of anxiety, which the
stranger had worn up to this time had fla
ded from his face as he stood up to re-
ceive h lis sentence. You have been found
gu lily, said the Judge. Of the crime of
manslaughter, for which you are undoubt-
eddy penlent. Here the stranger again
began to get anxi ous and uneasy.
And if, proceeded the Judge, It meets
with your appreciation, we will try and
hang you next Sunday morning, at II
A. II. In the mean time try and make
yourselves comfortable at the hotel as
possible.
The stranger looked q little sad, and
the Judge asked him if he wasn't salts
fed. II there was anything he could do
for him
Judge, hate to be particu lar. and f ps-
sy' said the stranger, but having the
ager aud fever, the chilis come on at 10

OF course, said the Judge, We always

THE EYES THAT WERE SO
BRIGHT.

Those eyes that were so bright, love,
Have now DINNER shine
But what they've lost in light, love,
Was what they gave to mine.
And still those orbs reflect, love,
The beams of former hours
That ripened all my joys, my love,
And tinted all my flowers.
These locks we're brown to see, love,
That now are turned to gray
But the years were spent With me, love,
That stole their hue away.
Thy locks no longer share, love,
The golden blow of noon,
But I've seen the world look fair, my love
When silvered by the moon.
That brow was fair to see, love,
That looks SO shaded now;
But for me it bare the care, love,
That spoilt a bonny brow.
And thought no longer there, love.
The gloss it had of yore,
Still memory looks and dotes, my love,
Where hope admired before.

Trouble in Churning.

a lady correspondent of The Prairie
Farmer says:
Il have found that Che cause of the
cream beating to froth sometimes, in
churping, is carbonic acid gas. which is
heavier than atmospheric air, collecting
in cellars or where milk is kept. Il,
somehow, By uniting with the cream in
small portion, causes it to froth and be
hard to churn, and Tie butter to be very
poor when done, aud when there is much
of it in the cream, it viii not churn
butter at all. The remedy / have found
that will entirely prevent it, is quick,
lime used freely where the milk is kept

in the cellar. After the gas is onc6 re-
moved. it can be prevented by q ysssal OF
lime being kept in The cellar and re-
newed when necessary. spd you will
