BEN FISHER.

Ben Fisher had finished his harvesting,
And stood by his garden gate,
one foot on the rail. and one on the ground,
AS he called to his good wife Kate.
Ihere were stains of toll on his wanIus red,
. The dust of the field on his hat;
But twinkle of pleasure was in his eye,
AS he looked at his stock so fat.
Here, give me the babe, dear Kate, you are
And fear you have too much care;
9u must rest and pick UP a little, l think,
Before we can go TO the fair. .
I'd hate to be taking fat cattle. you know,

And care-WrinRIes seaming n % her 10 Bows. Wto"'
/" Can't gor. Why not? Can't afford the e4-
know, Kate, our crops aren't the best;
And together we'll now take rest. %
The frost blighted the fruit, but .Brindle' is
+ And Jimmy and Fan are a show
Your butter and cheese can't be beat in the
So up to the fair we will goy
You've ne'er seen city. and Cleveland is dne
Never seen the blue, billowy lake;
Meier rode in rail-car, nor been in a throng-
So, Kate, this journey Wen take;
And gather new feelings, new thoughts, and
If we hud those that suit as we roam,
And garner up strength in head, heart, and
For the loves and the duties at home
7 sometimes have thought as plodded alotg
For months, Ger the same weary round.
That another who had such real hard time,
In Ohio could nowhere be found,
But when I've been called from my home for
q while
And seen how the world gets along,
I've come back to toll with Il light, cheerful
heart,
And-'There's no place like home for my
song
Il wonder that mothers don't wholly despair,
Who ne'er from their cares get away,
But walk the same rOad-whee of duty for years
Scarce stopping to rest, night or day.
No wonder they grow disconnected, som etimcS,
Their feelings get raspy and cold; .
For toll never ending. and labor Gnchcered,
Make women anG men sometimes -scoid.'
Kate looked up with smile and said, ''Ben,
will go; .-.
There may be stock fatter than ours,
Horses swifter OF foot, cows finer by far.
Better butter and cheese, fruit and flowers;
But there's one thing that can't be surpassed
In the whole Yankee matte on to-day -..a..

That's my gltde man P'-and Kate ran away.

A MEoHANIOAL CARA member of the
editorial staff of the Cleveland Leader has
invented shest-iron cat. with cylindtical
attachment, and steel claws and teeth. 1t
is worked by clock>woIk. A bellows inside
swcIls up the tail at will. to a beigerent sizs.
and by tremolo attachment. causes, at the
same time, the patent cat to emit all noises
of which the living Cat is capable. When
you want fun you wind up your cat and
place him on the roof. Every cat within a
half mile hears him. sirds on his armor, and
salies forth. frequently fifty or one hun
drsd attack him at once. No sooner does
the patent cat feel the weight Of an assaiant
than his teeth and claws work with light
ming rapility. AGversaries within six feet
of him are torn to shreds. T esh batalions
come on to meet similar fate, aud in an
hour several bushels of hair. toe-nais and
fiddls7s trings alone remain.

ABUSE OF Mothers IN LAw.-The Rich-
moud Enquirer has the following sensible
Suggestions in reference to this suljrct:
1T is the fashion just now, both on the
stage and through the press, to deDounce.
abuse. or make game of the whole race OF
mothers-in-Iaw. We think the Ike has been
car ried too far and that it is about time a
defender of this very ili-used class of very
useful and necessary ladies should announce
himself and take up their cause. The moth
er>iU-law of the stage is not always nor often
that lady in real life. The land is full Of
good mothers iu~law, and they greatly out
number the bad. whether they be the mater
nal parent of wife or husband. 1t is very
wrong to treat all as cross-grained old hags,
meddesome busy bodies, domestic tyrants,
or miscbicvous Gisturbers of the family peace,
because few bad examples have been found.
Let each in his circle Of acquaintance think
over the list of mothers>in-law who make
themselves useful in their day and genera
tiou through their constant. self sacr .fcing
efforts to make home happy. and compare
them with those who seem only to have been
oroato'l roT PNp i,.--s- Of annoy anca and dis
cord, and he will be surprised to find how
many good and noble mothers in>law there
are in the land. We thiuk it is about time
this unfeeling war upon most worthy and
a most necessary class of ladies should cease.
If there be skeletons in that form in some
homes, still many family has its angel in
the shape of a mether-iI-law." ~

First, let me relieve you of one thing.
Your innocence in Virginia has been

was hung the other day for killing wo-
man, confessed Just before his death that
he had murdered your uncle, and your ar.
irving when you did had prevented him
from getting the gold, but made him es-
cape from the house. He knew your
uncle kept large amount of money, aud

cured your knife, and with it committed
the fatal deed T. .- r--z "a .--.a -r
Frank listened to Mr., Dewes almost
breaihless, and when lie had concluded.
