The Reward of Kindness.

Tho Chicago Intsr.0cean gives a TO.
mantle history Of young physician,
whose story Of good luck sounds marvel.
lous, but the paper says It is presented
just as he tells 1t himself:
In the month Of September, 1866, Mr..
Matchett, now resident OF Springfield,
H., was passing through Chicago, and
while waiting for the train al the Burling.
ton and Quincy Depot he saw a lady with
q child In her arms, also waiting for a
train. The lady was apparently q strang.
or In the land, and seemed TO have no
escort. While still In the depot the child,
a little girl, was seized with q sudden
and violent sickness, and the mother was
seriously alarmed. Mr.. Matchett gal.
lantly rushed 10 her assistance, took care
Of tue child, and happening to be we'll In.
formed In regard to infantile complaints,
he succeeded In restoring 1t to health be.
fore the train started. His timely act OF
assistance, coupled with the tender and
friendly manner in which It was rendered,
completely won the lady's heart, and she
was proluse in her expressions of graft
tude. But at this moment the train came,
and the young man, bidding her hasty
adieu, jumped into car and was of. The
lady, before departing on another train,
made inquiries concerning khim, and
found out oil about Mr. Matchett, and
where he lived. And then she Jumped
into car and was of.
Here endeth the first chapter Of the 70.
nance, Passing over the intervening
pages, which are perfect blank, we rush
ut once TO the denouement.
A few months ago the lady died in the
town of Aberdeen, Scotland, and in her
will she bequeathed 10 her benefactor the
handsome fortune OF 100000. 1t Is said
that the money is already deposited in
some Eastern bank awaiting It's claimant.
Such is, in substance, the strange story
related by the commercial gentleman.
Should 1t prove TO be founded on fact,
Dr., Matchett, wherever he Is, has reason
TO be grateful for encountering that
blessed lady. II he is married and is the
father of promising boy, he had better
send the lad at once to Mareschal College,
Aberdeen, 10 be educated. There new
romance might naturally grow out OF the
old one. The little girl would now be
about seven years old.

PLowING TWICE FOR WHEAr.-A cor.
respondent writes: ut any one will
break his ground deeply and thoroughly
two or three times during the spring and
summer, the extra amount OF wheat per
acre will pay for plowing and leave a
handsome profit besides. l have tested
this practice several times with the most
satisfactory results. In 1869 had field
of sixteen acres Of like fertility. I ex-
pected to plant half the field in corn, but
for some reason l did not In the half
that had been plowed for corn, after the
ground had been broken the weeds grew
more rapidly. Consequently broke ii
again the 20th Of June. On the first of
September following l plowed the entire
field and sowed in wheat. The result
was as follows: The half which had
only received a single plowing yielded
per acre thirteen bushels and eighteen
pounds; the half that received three
brcakings yielded per acre twenty.three
bushels and forty pounds, which made a
difference Of more than ten bushels per
acre. AT one dollar per bushel this
would pay for the extra plowing and
leave net profit Of six dollars per acre
besides.
