JournaD, whose Oeat includes Rusty
Row. a favorIte resort for idle negroes,
had occasion to arrest a notorious va
grant, whose main occupation was
ignting and draining the beer kegs
left IN front of bar rooms.
This man, as usual, resisted arrest
and attacked the ch3er fercely. The
officer ga that extreme measures
we're necessary, and, dra wing his club,
aimed a bios at the Negroes head. The
result was az alarming as it was unex-

absolutely illegible, he lent the fol-
lowing reply:
"My Dear Mr.. Morse:-It was very

the other day. Perhaps 1 should have
found it ~pleasanter if l had been able
to decipher it. / don't think l mas

which l guessed at. There is a singu-
lar and perpetual charm in a letter Of
yours never grows old; it never
loses its novelty. One can say to ones

A WELL WRITTEN LETTER ON THE J-Y
OF FARM LIFE.

A WELL WRITTEN LETTER On THE J-Ys
OF FARM LIFE.
Dear Aunt Jennie:-B9ing very
much interested in reading the letters
of the ''Chatterers, I will write for ad
miEtance.
lam a farmers wife. We live on a
farm and make our own support, and
I think this is much better than living
in town with a small income, and hav,
ing to buy everything to live on.
A farmer has more advantages, has
more time for pleasure and o time
to spend with his wife and children
than any other leboring man.
He does not have to work from hour
to hour like most all other laborers do.
And if he feels sick or tired he can go
home and rest, not fearing that he will
get out of employment.
And his wife Gt she is "only a far
mer's wife'O, it is 80 nice to have her
pouIty and eggs and pigs, and nice
fresh milk and butter and fruits and
vegetables of all kinds all the time.
On, I think it is such an advantage to
have nice fruit all the year. We can
use it fresh from the trees through the
summer and can enough for winter
use at a very little expense.
I think a farmers wife and daugh-
ters ought to be more highly honored
than any other women on earth. Gen
erally an industrious farmers wife

ISABELLA ASKS FOR ADVICE

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I come to tell
you that I am not married and don't
suppose I will be soon. don't want
people to get to thinking that l am
married if they do, of course / will
not get the chance TO marry then!
Aunt Jennie, what must l dol Papa
says he keeps his shot gun loaded. l
guess every body don't know it, for
some of the young men don't TO
be afraid. WHAT bothers me is:
Whether I ought to tell them about il
and tell them to stay away or let them
alone and risk the chance of getting
che gun unloaded. l think it would be
too bad to tell a young man to stay
away when l really don't want him TO
do that. It might be worse though If
Papa should gee in the notion to use
MS gun. Will some one tell me what
to 0o2
Now Aunt Jennie, the real reason I
nave not written Is that my invalid
mother has been confined 10 her room
seven weeks, anu / have no sister ex
cepG eeven years old to help me
Keep house. You can imagine how
much time I have to write by the time
l get every thing done by myself.
Jennie Acton, you have a great deal
to be thankful for if you al get every
thing done that you plan for the day.
nnUnR nlnn kn do nuukhS~D cTn0o
mother has been sick. l just have to
do what aver comes first. 1t scenes
that I don't have time for any thing.
Someone recently told me that / en-
joyed life about as we'll as those who
mad mor time for pleasure. l try to
make the best of life as it comes and
think the clouds that 80 often over
shadow US are to show us how bright
che sun shines.
Madge's letters are very interesting
but l wonder If she thinks the farmers
wives are the only women who are
neglected. I think there are other men
who are equally as careless as the far
mer in one way or another. In some
cases it ia just as che says, while in
others you can find a farmer who is
the most careful and attentive Of hus
bands. I think mothers are to blame
co some extent for sue affairs. Let
mothers teach their sons how to re
spect a mother and sister. Then when
they marry they will make careful
husbands.
Long may Aunt Jennie live to carry
on her good work The roses she il
scattering now she will reap for her q
reward ID the sweet by and bye."-
Isabella. ~
