An Incident that Married People
should Read.


Chicago Tribune.l
Not very long ago / was riding
on the cars and an incident oc-
Cured that seemed to me so beau
tiful that / want to tell it for the
encouragement of womankind.
There were two old men sitting be-
hind me, strangers to each other,
but like little children, comparing
ages and their lives. They were
seventy and seventy-fve years, both
farmers, and both had recently lost
their wives-one SO recently that
his heart was full of his sorrow, and
his eyes overhowed as he talked.
They were uncultured men, and of
course used no fine language. Said
one: "She never spoke an unkind
word to me in all the fifty years |
lived with her. | have been visit
ing my children, and going from
place to place, but | am lonely all
the time, and l missed her SO
much" The other old man said
his wife was sick for many months;
"but," says he, "my success in life
is as much hers as mine. She was
faithful, true wife, always busy,
always doing her part, and now she
is gone. l am so restless all the
time, and can stay nowhere long.
l hope shall soon go to her, for
life is so dreary and lonely" And
so they talked, comforting and
sympathizing with each other.
What a testimony to the lives OF
those two women, farmers wives,
who had lived quiet, humble lives,
performed their daily duties,
brought up their children, and left
this monument in the hearts OF
their husbands.

Chinese Farms,

The whole surface of the plain wa &
covered with the autumn crop still
standing. The economic husBandry OF
China lays hold OF every bit OF ground,
and not single rood was lying fa4l0ws
In the spring this vast extent OF cotton
covered ground, now snowy expanse

wi n bright sulphuf-yellow blossom, had
been one huge tield ot-Wavipg corn. Dur
ing the rainy mohtns, such is the fertil.
ity OF the rich alluyial soil, 1t had pro-
duced its third erop-namely, rice.
There was an air Of quiet, OF peace and
plenty, peryading the wnole district. \
Its denizens seemed neither to heed
nor to r. qulre the products OF other
lands. = Fiilages there Were none to be
seen. The Inhabitants dwelt in single
homesteads, or in snug Gotta ges, collect
ed in little groups, like tiny hamlets, OF

lied the landscape. Llumps Of trees

The farms bore the aspect OF beins

prosperous-looklng homestead it widen
ed into a smooth esplanade. On the one
hand u broad trench divided the roadway
from the fields; ON tue oJner ran q nea

and was entered by wile folding doors.
Within it the members OF the family
who were not in tue fields could be seen
at meals, or at indoor work. Some few
perhaps were weaving long strps Of
coarse cotton cloth on the esplanade in
u ont. At window was an aged dame
whirling spinning-wheel, or turning
the rollers OF the simple machine that
frees the white tufts Of cotton from the
seeds. A sharp, twanging sound issued
from the chanber at tue side.
Byinquiry we learned that it was caused
by young lads "teazing" the cotton into
thin flakes with quaint implement like
fiddle bow. The Stranger was receis ed
with civillty, or rather with the absence
OF incivllity which seems the sum total
Of poliLeness among the Chinese. A
hideous chorus, see up by the yelp-
ing ours which, infested every home-
stead in the neighborhood; u sharp re-
proof from the farmer or his lads, which
produced silence, or low and scarcely
audible growls; a ready response, in
pantomime, to a question in the same
form as TO tue way, and then a reiapse
into silence and busy labor, as though
no one OF foreign race was within q
leagae-such was the strangers only
greeting.
