A Runaway Husbands Return.

HUNTINGDoN, PA About twenty
five years ago DIr. II. NJ. Gilbert
married Miss Elizabeth Martin. an
at rlctive woman OF 20, and settled in
the village of Pine Grove, Centre
county. Their life together was not
the happiest, and in about a year
Gilbert abandoned his wife without
making any provision for her mainte-
nance and went west. Soon afterwnri
q daughter was born to her. She never
heard of him afterward, and as year
after year rolled by she began to be-
lieve him dead. Sho let Pine Grove,
and, coming to Huntingdon, creditably
supported herself and daughter by
serving i'll private families. She son
gained high reputation u careful
and thorough housekeeper. Her
daughter grew up and was comfortably
married to a citizen Of his town.
Among the oldest and most respect,
ed residents here three years ago was
Bachelor Christian Colestock. the
last remaining stem Of n once large
und Influential family. Helived in IL
substantial dwelling at Fifth and
Washington streets, and possessed CON
siderable property AS the fcobIe-
ness Of age increased upon him he
came to feel the need of some one to
relieve him Of the care Of his houses
hold affairs and accordingly tho de-
serving widow Gilbert was secured.
Soon after this, Mr. Colestock, al
though then IS years Of age, made a
proposal Of marriage TO his faithful
housekecper. She hesitated at first,
fearing that her husband might still be
alive, but finally accepted On
December 1882, tins somewhat iueon-
gruous couple were married. The
gossips wondcringly asked one anoth-
e., "What if Gilbert should come
baek?" But he did not come back,
although he was alive, and is said TO
have known Of hs. wifc's second mar
riage.
Old Mr. Cole.tock died on Decem-
ber "a, 1884, little over two years
after his marriage, and tlius the OBJ
stacle in the way Of Gilbert's returh
was removed. This week he mude
his appearance in town, sought out
his wife Of long ago. aud, after bewail-
ing his Will wandeiings. renewed his
attachment to her. Mrs Colestcck
is sole heir u the CoIestock property.
IL law She bears no relation to Mr..
Gilbert as the seven years limitation
hiss long since expired. As soon as
her estate is settled il ia their intention
to link their fortunes together again.

by Officer Corbett and taken to the
lock-up. where he will be held for
trial in the City Court this morning

day evening, that it was meat that he
was hankering after, and bound TO
have, and he knew of no better place
to get it than at the market house.
and to the market house he went, and
commenced prospecting. His keen
eyes were not long in discovering a
convenient piece, and under the inn
preston that everything was all right,
and tho road clear he proceeded to
appropriate according to the family
code. Joe was either TOO soon or
too late, it dosen't make any differ

Blind Toms Possession.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 10. In
the United States Circuit Court this
morning, the case of Blind Tom, which
was brought into court Yesterday on a
writ of habcas corpus sued out by his
mother, came up. The counsel for
the mother and others claimed that
this court had jurisdiction of the case,
and that the Fauquier county court
had not, and never could haYe acqur-
ed jurisdiction. The judge decided
that Gen. Bethune became a resident
Of Virginia in 1870, and that Tom
being then in Mr. Bethune.s possess
ion under contract, he also became a
resident, and hat the court Of Fauquier
had jurisdiction.

Church Rules for Ladies.


Dress hard all morning-such is fate;
Then enter church some minutes late.
All eyes will then be turned on you,
And will observe your bonnet new.
Let an your thought be Gzcd on high,
And rc-arrange your cardinal tle.
Think how religions prone to bless,
And criticisc yourneighbor's dress.
Let your heart be filled with praise.
And notice Mrs Migle's lace.
Put from your mind al thought of sin,
And rcadjust your diamond pin.
Think OF how religion proves,
And then smoothe out your button gloves
Pray for Influence divine
That lady's basque, mark the design.
Let tender peace possess your mind,
And criticise that hat behind.
Catch well the preccpts as they fall,
And smoothe the wrinkles on your shawl
Think o. the sinners awful tate,
And notice if your bonnet's straight.
Reflect on certaiA graccs dear,
And tx your curls behing your ear.
Let your heart warm with silent prayer,
And view that horiid green silk there.
Il, feet upon the wicked ways
See if your gold charms out Of place.
Think Of the place the good will find,
And wonder who are sitting behind,
Think of the burden Christians bear.
And notice those strange ladies there.
The last words hear with contrite heart
And fix your pull-back before you start

What Beeoher believes in Farming.


About forty two years ago, the Rev.
Henry Ward Bevcher was editor or the
Indiana Farmer and Gardner, a
monthly magazine published in Indi-
annpolis. His first work was to es
tablish creed. Following is d copy
of it
ave believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
I'VE believe that soil loves to eat,
as well as Its owner, and ought, there
fore to be manured.
eve believe in large crops which
leave the land better han they found
it-making both the farmer and he
farm rich at once.
1--WE believe in going to the bottom
Of things, and. therefore, IN deep
ploughiug, and enough Of it. All the
better with subsoil plow.
1--WE be ieve that every farm should
own a good farmer.
1--WE believe that the best fertilizer
of any soil is a spirit of industry, en-
terprise and inteIligen ce-without this
lime and gypsum, bones and green
manure, mari and guano, will be OF
little use.
"We believe in good fences, good
barns, good farmhouse, good stock,
good orchards and children enough to
gather the fruit"

Corn.

Corn is a plant that is exceedingly
amenab.e to culture. A farmer may
very easily improve his seed corn by a
little care in selection and some in Gull
ti%vation. The great loss in growing
corn is in the production of barren
stalks, male plants, which yield no
fruit. The ear is the fruit and is pro-
duced only by perfect plants which are
bi-sexual or male and female both, or,
as may be more correctly said, stami-
nate and pistillate. A stalk with a
tassel only and no ear is barren and
fruitless. Such stalks by impregnat-
ing the perfect plants propagate their
W kind, and so tend to reduce tina
yield of the crop. This is to be pre-
vented by growing or breeding seed
from perfect plants only and by re-
moving every stalk which has no ear
from the neighborhood of the seed
plants. By persistence in this mode Of
breeding corn has been improved from
yield Of forty bushels up to eighty OF
even $50 bushels per acre. A seed plo:
should be cultivated on every farm for
this purpose.-N Y. Times.
