OF the commonplace, sordid, hard
worked life that Cic'ly lived in her new
home, is it worth while to write? or
how she was up with the hooking
birds and blue-jays, and set her cheap
home in order, cooking Lum's break
fast and standing in wifely submission
till he had eaten his fill and departed,
and then more lonesome than prisoner
in his cell, SappiDg at her own bit Of
bacon and bowl of black bitter coffee,
or patiently taking her place beside
him in the scrawny patch to hoe,
with the hot sun beating down on
her pretty head, to work till the heart
tainted within her, and she longed, but
dared not, to fly Off to the dewy, sweet,
silent woods to walk down the wonder
ment Of disappointment that crowded
her heart and made her full, beautiful
throat ache with misery. Cic'ly had
never heard of Tennyson, and the
nearest approaches she had made to
poetry were the doleful hymns the men
sang at meeting; but if she had, |
think she would have sometimes whis-
pered to herself:
Thou art mated to q clown,
And the coarsenesS OF his nature shall have
weight TO drag thee down."
Like many men of his kind Lum was
absolutely incapable Of humane feel
ings. He could no more understand or
sympathize with suffering or tender
sentiments of JOY in others than you or
can realize an aerial railway to the
moon. Every beast on the place trem-
bled at sight Of him, so viciously vim
dictive was his moody wrath, and when
his wife heard him coming crunching
heavily over the pine chips that Uttered
the yard, she FASTENED the dogs to their
coverts. His wife had become his chat
tel, his slave, less regarded than his
timid hounds. Nothing in this world
seemed so impossible as that Lum
Cherry had ever kissed her--ever given
her a single caress. She must have
dreamed it, and the thought Of those
sweet, early days of her wifehood sent
the red blood up to her brows and made
her feel ashamed and shy, and as if il
thought she had offended womanly mo
desty. Oftentimes she drew from 9
hiding-place in the chimney the little
shell trinket-box that contained heI
marriage lines.

Mr.. Clayborne shipped a car of extra

Irwin will preach a preparatory SER
mon ON next Saturday, at half past
two. and will conc uct the communion
services at eleven o'clock on Sunday.
We suggest to the deacons, would it
not be well to see what we can do in
raising salary to secure the services
of regular preacher. A considerable
number of the congregation seem to be
anxious to secure a minister. ..........
Don't jump at conclusion; we mean
not to judge too hasty from circum-
stancial evidence.-Because man is
found with bloody hands, don't say he
is a murderer.-Becausea fellow goes
with lady few times is no evidence
that he will marry her or even wants
to marry.-Because we have no minis
ter here is no reason why we never
will have one.-Because we had lots
of mud this winter is no sign we al
ways do.-Because a young man is
awkward is not good reason for say
ing he is not gentleman. or if he is
polite, that he is true gentleman
Because there is ergot on the corn
stalks is not proof that the cattle eat
it and it poisons them, or because there
is a great deal of the corn rotten, that
the cattle are poisoned by eating it.
We know that in gathering corn. there
is necessarily great deal left in the
field, and also that if cattle are not
nsed to eating corn and are turned into
the corn field to eat all thev want,
that they will very often kill them
selves. Oh! SEE.

Ex-Vice-President Schuyler Colfax,
died suddenly at Mankato, Minn.,
at 1875 Tuesday morning,
the 18th inst. He had arrived on the
Milwaukee road from the east at 10 o.
clock and walked to the Omaha depot,
distance of three quarters of mile.

below zero. After arriving at the de-
pot, he lived only five minutes. 1t is
supposed that the extreme cold and
subsequent over exertion caused a
stoppage of the flow of blood to the
