charity, until strong enough to work,
when he secured employment, and by
industry and economy acquired snug
little sum Of money. One day his
wife met him and threw herself into
his arms. He did not remember her,
but seemed delighted to meet one
who had known him and could tell
him Of his past life, went home with
her, but did not realize the relation
ship existing between them, and
asked If she was not his sister. He
was perfectly sane. but could not re-

Hard Work In Gardening.

Some branches of gardening are
light easy, and altogether pleasant,
but more OF the work in running a
market garden successfully is heavy
and often disagreeable. AS for hand
ling MANURE, the market gardener
applies three to five times as much
per acre as the farmer would deem
necessary, and much Of it is applied
in the hill by hand. Not so many
ways of dispensing with hand labor
have been found for the gardner as
for modern farmers. There are scores
of Jobs that the gardener must do
bending low to the ground and as
hard on the back as pulling beans.
They are the kind of slow, puttering
work, such as occur in the farmers
own garden, and which most often
put him out Of patience. We believe
more farmers ought to begin market
gardening; but would be very sorry
to mislead any one into doing so I'M

easy one. If it were, it's rewards

the manufacturer. If it could be

for quantity, and each farmer would
