THE FLOOD.

Not Noah's, but one equally as disas-
trous as far as it went, as they know in
Minnesota.
Lucy Fanchen, standing in her broth
er-in-law's doorway, looking out over
the snow at the figure OF q man who had
Just turned and waved his big hat to
her, had no idea it was coming. Her
black eyes we're bright and her dark
face warm with rich color.
"Lucy," called her sister from the
little bedroom, "Who was the man at
the door?"
"Charlie Rosecoe," said Lucy, def
antly. What is it to you, Colomb"
"What is it to me! I'll teach You,
miss; when Peter comes you shall go
home and marry Joe Aim, as you have
been told. You're not Yankee girl, if
you have been to their school, and you
shall do as you are told. I'll ask old
Gautiere to go for father Cheyalier when
he comes into the house."
81 don't care" said Lucy, etill more
defantly "you may get dozen priests
if you like, I'll not marry Joe Aim, if
he has thousand cattle. Charlie is
better with nothing"
$50 foolish you talki What do you
know? You are to listen to what is told
you, and you are not to talk alone with
men at my door +; it is not decent. You
should go back toI France, miss, and
learn manners, and not to talk of your
priests SO disrespectfully. Fix the fire
and come and take the baby, and let
not Charlie Roscoe come here once
more"
Lucy filed the stove with corn. The
railroads had brought but little wood
yet, and that was so dear they still used
corn, as they had done during the
blockade When she had done that she
took the baby and sat by the window,
rocking it and looking cut on the snow
where Charlie had passed out Of sight
Old Gautiere had come in from the
barn, VIII erehe had been to take care of
the cattle and horses. and Colomb was
telling him through the open bedroom
door Of Lucy's rebellion. The old man
muttered and Colomb scolded, but
Lucy only looked more rebellious and
defiant than ever, and gave them q sharp
answer now and then, tossing Ler black
braids about with every seorpful move.
ment Of her coquettish head. The old
man muttered and mumbled about the
black night and that some one had told
him the river was rising above there, but
Lucy paid no attention to his words,
and after once more renewing the fire
lay down on the lounge near the door
of her sisters room, ready to answer
any call during tho night.
Sometime in the night, she did not
know how long she had been asleep, she
was awakened by q terrible crashing
and grinding about the house. She
could not tell what it meant /; she had
never, heard anything like it. Colomb
was screaming, and old Gautiere stood
on the stairs, half-dressed and wholly
teror-stricken, mutteringN about the
river. VIZ,

A Hymn for Farmers.

The following hymn, written for the occasion
by Mr.. John G. Whittier, was sung to TIN
tune of Aud Lang Syne," at the banquet o
the American Horticultural society, in Boston
Oh, Painter Of the fruits and flowers,
We own Thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands of ours
May share the work of Thine.
Apart from Thee, we plant in vain
The root and SOW the seed;
fhy early and Thy later rain,
Thy sun and dew we need.
Our toll is sweet with thankfulness,
Our burden is our boon;
The curse of earth's gray morningis
The blessing of it's noon.
Why search the wide world everywhere
For Eden's unknown ground?
That garden Of the primal pair
May never more be found.
But blest by Thee, our patient toll
May right the ancient wrong,
And give to every cline and soil
The beauty lost so long.
And still with rcverent hands we Gull
Thy gifts, each year renewed;
The good is alEays beautiful,
The beautiful is good
Our homestead flowers and fruited trees
May Eden's orchard shame;
We taste the tempting sweets of these,
Like Eve, without her blame.
And north and south and east and west,
The pride Of every zone,
The fairest, rarest, and the best
May all be made our own.
Its earliest shripes the young world sought
In hill-groyes and in bowers;
The fittest offerings thitEer brought
We're Thine own fruits and flowers.

A Husbands Love.

1t is easy enough to win Q husband.
Most any attractive little dumpling with
a bright eye and coaxing voice can
gather in noble husband but it is
pretty difficult to retain him. Noble
husbands are thicker than hair on q
dog, but the grand difficulty is to draw
'out their true nobility and secure il at
home.
If the wife only understands her bust,
ness she can introduce the soothing
racket in her new field OF operations and
walk away with the whole business.
Most men like to be loved and soothed.
There is something in the mans great,
rough, earnest nature that can be won
quicker and easier with gentleness and
pie than by the logic Of the broom
handle and o bilious course Of reason
ing with bread and milk diet.
We have seen o girl who understood
her business take q reformed road as6nt
by the nose, so to speak, and lead him
through life in such way that he
wouldn't know but he was boss Of the
ranch. So perfect was the delusion
that when she asked him to bring in q
scuttle OF coal, or get up in his night
shirt and kill burglar that he knew was
nothing but bobtail COW four blocks
away, he always went, and he felt as
though he counted it mark OF special
favor that o poor unworthy worm Of the
dust, like him, should be sought out
and delegated to go and chase lame
Cow across nine vacant lots with on old
barrel stave and clothed in nothing but
o little brief authority and knit under
shirt.
We cannot exactly describe this magic
power Of devoted wife over her hus-
band, and we do not intend to try it. It
is an unseen motive, q nameless lever
age that makes the husband get up in
the dead hour of the night and sell the
pancake batter near the parlor stove.
A man need not think that because he
gets up and looks for burglars in the
night and is otherwise obedient that it
is because he has no backbone.
It is simply becausehe is the husband
of woman of whom he ought to be
proud. Boomerang.

she asked where Mrs. Oleson's other
children were, and the poor woman
broke out sobbing and said they were
in the river. Sarah had slipped down
into the water when they tried to get
up in the tree, and Hans had dropped
off in the night when she had fallen
asleep just a minute.
Farther on Charlie pointed out o
house standing on higher land than the
others, where he told Lucy family
were upstairs, waiting to be taken off
if need be, but allowing others in more
danger to go first, and near by man
had lain in another house with both
hands and feet frozen so badly the doc
tors were going to amputate them. At
last they reached their destination, the
great elevator where the owner, who
had been rich the day before but was
now poor man, was doing all he could
to make the people comfortable. They
were soon among the other sufferers,
some worse off than themselves. and
the men who had brought them only
waited to take little food, then started
out again with others. Day after day
and week after week, the food con-
tinued. Skiffs and yawls were hastily
built and parties of rescuers were out
continually, One day they brought in
family who had lived days on raw
chickens, the fowls having been driven
to the house by fright; and another day
it was two old ladies who had lived
more than week in their barn. Little
children, only half-dressed and conse-
quently half-frozen, were brought from
all sorts OF strange perches and their
rescuers had many narrow escape ,
while trying to save them. Huge barri- /,
cades OF }e, sometimes thirty feet highs
must be crossed, and again swift, ope,me
currents and sometimes thin ice, Grse
which planhs We're laid to make it moras
secure, or the boats were dragged acro.y
to reach another open place. Day a.anns LAM
day they brought them in, taking siss,.nU,
persons from the roof of one larl,re
house and picking up others here an1co,
there, all half-frozen and half-starved ,
and wholly destitute. The owner Of
the elevator drew up by means Of pull
leys aFfew cattle that had been saved,
slaughtering them on one Of the upper
floors and feeding the people. They
had no lights, for the kerosene and even
the candles had given out everywhere
the boats could reach, but they bore
that quite patiently as long as they had
some sort Of food.
Peter returned with his neighbors,
but came in boat and their wood
went on down the river. Neither he
nor Oolomb said word more against
Charles love making, though they saw
it was progressing in the intervals he
had from his work in the boats, and
even old Gautiere could not forget that
Charlie saved his life, and if he mutter-
ed it was only to praise him.
And Lucy and Charlie think the food
was not altogether without it's advan-
tages. Springfield Republican.

Tuesday, performing surgical operation
which required consummate skill and judg-

ject of it, Mrs. Florence Wheelock, who
has so long suffered, will be now perma
nently healed. For eight years she has
sought relief of the best physicians of neal
and far, but unavailingly. What name tc
give to her malady is somewhat uncertain
suffice tito say that it was some species OF
abnormal growth, probably cancerous, on
the right side of the lower jaw. Prof. Hal
cut this portion away without removing
any portion of the bone itself. He did re
move part af the alyeolar process (often
confused with the .bone) and several teeth
Part of the growth was inside of the cheek
as well as the outside, which greatly com
plicated the difficulty of the operation.
