months he left this village and en-
gagged in business elsewhere. The lady
mourned, but tried to satisfy herself
that she had acted correctly. Two
years made her more liberal than she
had been, and she began 10 study on
the subject. The more she read the
more she distrusted her former
decision, and she finally became
quite as liberal as the lover she
had discarded. Whether the
logic of the books she read, or the
promptings of the old love had most
to do with this change, it would be
hard to tell. The lover, too, had I'M
dergone a change. The fact that his
creed had cost him his sweetheart
annoyed him, and, struggle as he
would, he could not Danish her from
his memory. Last winter revival of
religion took place in the city in which
he was engaged in business. At the
solicitation of friend he was induced
to attend. AS in the other case, it
would 0e hard to tell whether the
change was brought about by the argu-
ments of the preacher, by the excite
ment which prevailed, or by the men,
DRY of his old love. Suffice it to saw,
that he united with the church, and in
short time became a Jealous men,
Der. He thought over the action of
his former sweetheart in discarding HIM
for his infidelity, and wrote her brief
note asking the privilege of once more
calling on her. She responded in the
affirmative. The gentleman came,
and when she timidly apologized for
her previous dismissal of him, he, to
her surprise, defended her conduct,
said she had been in the right, and in
her place he would to-day do the same.
Her heart sank at these words. She
confessed the great change in her SEN
timents, from being a firm believer
in the Bible, she had discarded it, and
with it Ter belief in any revealed re-
ligion. 1t was now the gentleman's
turn TO be Mortified. He pleaded with
her, urged everything he could think
of to induce her to change her mind.
She could not, and told him so. He
felt that he must not be unequally
yoked with an unbeliever," and, TAX
ing counsel of his religion, gave her

the husbandman is always rewarded.
Either one or the other of two things
upon the farm is true-that the labor.
care and manure expended upon a crop
to bring it to high degree of perfec-
ton will pay, or that no less outlay of
either will pay. If the use of one load
OF manure where there ought to be two,
and of one days work where there
ought to be two, will pay a profit, the
second load and the second day will
pay greater profit up to q certain
limit: If it rays man to put out his
own labor on piece of land, and that
labor is not all the crop requires to per-
iect.it, it will pay him still better to
hlre another man to help him. The
second mans labor in such a case al
ways pays better than the first's. If
the result will not pay for both, it does
not pay for either, and the first man
ought to 60 at something else. And it
is just the same of manure as of tillage,
and just the same in the care and feed
ing of live stock. An insufficient ex-
penditure in either of these directions
is wasteful, losing expenditure, wheth-
er it be of labor or of capital.
The greatest cause of this kind of
bad farming is the possession of too
much land in proportion to capital. A
farmer cannot bring himself to reduce
his land under tillage in proportion to
his ability to supply manure and pay
Tor labor, because he fears that he
cannot get living from so little
land" And here, rs we began by say
ing, is the fundamental mistake. We
do not get our living from the land; we
get it from the labor and capital laid
out on the land. This concentration
of effort upon small areas of soil is
something little understood in Ameri-
ca. If it were. we should to-day see
fewer mortgaged farms, and fewer sad
faced men and women toiling hopeless
~ upon them. From this point of
view, we cannot but think it would be
better if we had no legalized credit sys-
tenn in America. Then the young
farmer could buy no more land than
he could pay cash for, and would have
to make the money from that before
he could buy more. What a lesson this
would be in economy and agriculture!
What q revelation it would be of posi-
bilities hitherto un5elieved in! What
an opening it would be to many a
young man who has in him the max
ing of good farmer, but who, buying
more land than he can pay for, has ali
life and ambition and capacity for
progress crushed out of him by the
burden of an usurious debt. From a
freeman with u freeman's spirit he is
made slave, and acquires the stolid
thriftlessness of slavery.-Rural New

The Nurse.

ALMOST every one is prone to believe
that, if occasion demanded it, she
would distinguish herself in the sick
room beyond a doubt; but in truth the
ideal nurse is formed of a rare con-
junction of happy conditions; she
should be one who, like Bonaparte,
could catch a nap on the wing; her
temperament should be compounded
of tranquility and firmness, that she
may not magnify trifing troubles, and
narass the patent by the addition of
her own anxieties. The unreasonable
ness, querulousness and exacrions of
an invalid are not calculated to compo-
sure of the mind or body on the part
of the nurse, consequently she must be
REINFORCED from her own resources.
Nothing so agitates sick person as to
be constantly appealed or referred to,
as if the attendant were not master of
the situation. The majority of those
who act in this capacity have under
taken the task not from any peculiar
fitness, but from the "stern necessity"
of earning a livelihood. Among these
we find the talkative woman who ap-
pears to think she is engaged to enter
tain one by a rehearsal Of her love af-
fairs, her family diseases, death-bed
scenes and scandal; there is the meek
soul who has the air of having always
been in the wrong, who inspires no one
with confidence in her abilities, brings
an atmosphere Of dependency with
her, and who, with the best will in the
world, never seems quite certain what
to DO next, and is generous enough to
share her responsibilities with the pa
tient. In contrast with such one, we
meet her opposite, who has not the
slightest doubt of herself, holds whis-
pered consultations with the doctor
till the hair of ones flesh stands up, is
always setting the room to rights, who
quarrels with the servants, reads the
casualties in the morning paper aloud,
has the nightmare, and, like Sairey
Camp, is every choice in her eating,
repudiating hashed mutton" and other
cheap viands, for which, owing prob
ably to familiarity, she entertains pro-
found contempt. Then there is the
nurse whose daily countenance is the
barometer of your condition, whose So
icitude overcomes her prudence, and
whose failings, though they lean to
virtues side, are irritating to sick
nerves. 1t is not seldom that the
nurse is almost of equal Importance
with the physician; indeed, good nurs-
ing has often done more toward effect
ing cure than drugs, and the greatest
medical skill in the world will avail
nothing where the attendant is inatten-
tive, absent-minded, and lacking in
judgment and discretion. The doctor
sees his patient at most only once or
twice in the twenty-four hours, and
must partly rely for his diagnosis and
treatment upon the report, more or
less exact, Of the person in charge, who
will assist or hinder the recovery in
proportion to her intelligence and her
competence for the oftice.-Harper' S
Bazaar.

Why He Was Insane.

OURlocal poet came into the sanctum
yesterday with wild look in his eye,
and asked our opinion concerning the
easiest method of committing suicide.
We questioned him, and he finally di-
vulged the cause of his sorrow.
:" sent poem to q literary paper"
said he. !" Here is one Of the verses"
and he handed us slip of paper which
read:
Twas all my life to sweetly gaze
Into those liquid eyes.
And oft turLed away my head
To heave internal signs.
Very pretty" said we. in consol-
ing manner. There nothing in that
to cause one to feel bad.''
"No-o-o," he blubbered, s. but this is
the way it was printed, ;" and he passed
over printed slip from some newspa-
per, which ran as follows:
Twas all my life to sweetIy gaze
Into those liquid eyes,
And oft [ turned away, and had
Heaves of internal size.
"That's what's killing me,'' said he,
in frenzy. "That's what's sucking
my life away like child at an orange.

ing crazy!' and the poor fellow only
stopped to ask for Q cigar ere he bolted
out the d0Or.-OI City Derrick.

Truth Is Mighty.

AS the little leaven hid IN the measure of
meal, made all leaven, SO truth gradually
Overcomes all doubt and disbelief. When DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, announced that his
Favorite Prescription would positively cure
the many diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women, some doubted, and continued to en-
ploy the harsh and caustic local treatment.
But the mighty truth gradually became &C.
kuOwledged. Thousands of ladies who had
uselessly undergone untold tortures at the
hands OF different physicians, employed the
Favorite Prescription and were speedily
cured. Many physicians now prescribe it in
their practice. So sanguine is DIR. Pierce of
It's power to cure, that he now sells it through
druggists under a positive guarantee.
