a Hrare Uou,on.

An interesting story l. told of a young
wife who went West with her husband, and
there encountered all sorts Of "hard luck.
Crops failed, cattle died, the young "a rner
sickened During all this time the Young
wife never grew discouraged, hut did all
In her power to keep her husband from
getting "the blues" But one morning the
hoy, who did the chores, came in and said
he could not find the COW on the farm.
SO our heroine set out with the boy in
search Of the lost animal, and finally
found her where she had fallen, over be.
tween two large logs-dead. The young
woman was at last discouraged, and for a
time would not go back with the bad news
10 her husband, but finally overcame her
own feelings, went merrily to the house
and, upon entering, said well, Robin,
our luck has changed GLOW is that ~
he anSiously inquired "Why," said she,
"the old COW is dead yon can kin her,
sell the hide, add We will have money"
And It proved to be true, for their luck
did change from that day. They sold ont
their interest in the farm and bought an
other one, began over, and TO day are
well-to-do people. Does not this teach
lesson to repining wives, and show what
power their is in a hopeful spirit
