Then what doea he do but commence tadancin' up an' down, au' a-singin'i "Saneyei mad, an' I am glad, An' 1 know whet '11 please her— A bottle o' wino ter make her shine, An' Charley Winn to squeeze her." At this Janey turned:real agly. "See if I can't make you change your tune," she cries. And without a moment's thought, I am sure, she flung the piece o' lookinhglass square at Elick's head. It struck him on the ferehead, an' he began to bleed and howl simultaneous. We ran dewieconsiderahly skeered ; but the out didn't turn out to be much, an' wuz soon salved and botindup. Elick's feelin's, however, wuz all agog. Many a black look be cast at Jamey. "Pil be even with you yet," says he, "an' yoti mark my worde." Bat Janey onty humped up her shoulders at him, an' went along to the wheat field. Reapin" is hungry work, an' our liar- vestera could pat away four meals a day quite comfortable. So along ,about eleven o'clook I fixed up a lunch of cold biscuit an' park an' hoe cake, an' a, jug of cool buttermilk, an' 1 went ter the field with it. Fur though' I wuz a boarder, I wuz never above doin' any little chores to help the work along. got to the field jest se the reaper wuz corain' up. Janet, waz sittin' up high under the awnitt' drivin', an' Charley Winn stood beside her, a-tyin' up the bundles very sate Eben wee ,stackin' up in a distant part o' the field, an' his pa had stopped to rest under a big walnut -tree which wuz a sort o' landmark to., people in those parts, it bein' the twilest tree on the Nine -mile, an' wuz ginerally known as "Burridge's walnut" Here they geth- ered to eat their lunch. 7 I "Phew! but it's a hot day I" says Jed, takina long pall at the butter- milk, an' passin' the jug to Charley. Winn. “The wheat . field is a mighty platy sight," says ; for it yam, with the yellow sun shinint on the yellow waves o' grain' an' the path that the reaper had ` made lookin' as sniooth an' clean an' bare as the dry line through the Red Sea. "I don't knew about party," says led, "bat it's as fine a stand. of wheat as I eher had. Not a spare of cheat in it. An' this one good year the Hessian fly an' the otoinehebug has let 118 alone." “Ther' ain't a farmer M the country as can compare with you, Mr. Ber- ridge," says Charley Winn. .."1, only hope to have half as good. luck when I Ain tryin! it single -hand." "Sho ! you'll have Janey ter help you. She's as good a farmer as I an. I al- lays said Janey ought ter 'a tin the boy an' Eben the girl in our family. Eben has a picayanish, meachin' sort o' way with him as is nateral to women. His mother hal it," went on the old man, qtate thoughtful, an' chewin' a wheat straw. "13 ut Janey is another sort, active an' strong, an' muscles like steel." "Oh, I love, ter work out -doors," cries_ janey. can do almost any- thing that a man can. I don't know what 1 should do if I had to stay shut up in the house." "I believe you could. throw me in a remelt" says Charley. "What a Mee - Ede, ter be sure !" an' he give her arm a squeeze. Jamey tossed her head, an' cohered up, an' laughed—a big saucy laugh. Gra- IAMB t if any one had told me that I would never again hear that laugh, never see her standint strong an' vigor- ous as a young oak, an' red as a poppy bloom, in the golden grain, with her sweetheart by her side I Well, well 1 a body may jest a well glee up soon as late a-tryire ter understand the ways of Providence! They set off -again, Jamey still a-driv- in't an' I -started fur home. teal reach- ed the bats, I turned and, looked back. The reaper viz:1z cretin' against the wind. Janey's bonnet wuz off, an' her Mack hair wnz blowin' over her face. Suddenly I saw a little eunbeam, dan- cin' about the head of old Peter the right-hand 'terse. He shook his head, annoyed like, but the little patch of light went bobbin', bobbin', here in' there, glanoin" in eyes., ears, an' nose, quick as a humminhbird, an' finally flaehin' fall in the eyes of Nelly Grey, the little mare, that wezta-clrivin' with old Pete.' The skittish thieg gave an awful jump. The next minnit both frightened animals had started off on a run, an' Janey, poor Janey; was thrown forward in front of the sickle bar! Greet Heaven 1 what a time it seemed before the horses could be overtook an' halted ! How I got to the spot never could tell, When I did, the wuz -Ebenezer holdin' to the pantin' teem- bliti' horses, that wnz theerh eyes as if in a mortal fright. An' Ctarley an' Jed, was tryin' to lift somethin' from the knives, red with blood, an' the pointed guarda clogged with mangled llesle. They got her out an' laid her down on the ground. Charley went over to the house, an' came back with a door that he had wrenched off, an' we managed to get her on this, knowin' only by a faint moanin' that the breath wnz still in the poor torn body. Eben an' Jed crept acrost the field with this burden, while Charley jellifi- ed on Nelly Grey au' rid like niad fur the doctor. I walked a little behind, Nell& stun- ned an' dazed ; an' as I passed under "Berridge's walnut," I heard a voice "Aunt Pude !" I looked up. A pair of wild eyes peered at me through the branches. "Aunt Fordo I" called Eliok, "is she dead ?" "Coine down onten that tree, Elick Farley I" says I, very aolemn. - Down he slid, the most miserable, Godforsakened little wretch. He had cried white streaks down his cheeks, an' he wun a-shakin' _All over. In his hand lie h.eld a bit of broken looking - glees. "What does this mean T" says I. "I did. it," he says, very pitiful. "I waited to tease her because I wuz mad, an' wanted to pay her off a little. I knew she nevencould gness that 1 wnz hid up in the tree catchin' the sun- beam with the same piece of -glass that she struck. me with. But I didn't mean to hurt her. I never dreamed co' her bein' thrown on them—them' knives." "Mick Farley," says I, takin' him 1 hard by the hand, “cOme here ;" and I followed the men that wuz a-carryin' poor jitney. "Look !" says I, "look I" and along the path 'AIM a line o' drippen' blood. "Pray," says I, burstin' inter teata—"pray to the good God that that stain shall not reatdorever on your soul" The ohildI gave a wild cry that seeme ed es if it had fairly burst from his heart; then teen& away from me, he ran like a dart across the peraxer, in the direction of Peppertown. - rfir.--JANEV8 COMFORTERS. Fur many a draggin' week poor Janey lay betwixt life ancledeath. The child vita out an' bruised over every part of her body. Two of her ribswnzbroke, an' one limb had been impaled on the guards of the sickle, an' wnz nearly sawed in two. That she should so much as survive the shock an' horrid wounds seemed a miracle; but the doctor brought her reund at last, though he told her enite frank she would never be able ter walk again. "Never ter walk again 1" said janey, flingin' he arme over her head, with a long, long groan — "never ter walk again! Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord !" - The aunts wnz all a-settin' round very solemn, an' they sithed, au' rocked themselves back an' forth like trees, in a wind. "It's the Lord's will,' says sister Charity Hackleton • "an' mebbe it's sent es a punishmet for your sins." "That's all nonsense," says Janey, very dogged like. "What stns have I committed, I want ter know? I've worked hard, an' done my beat; an' be- yond a sharp *word now an' then, I've nothin' on my conscience. I don't de- serve this." "We all deserve damnation," says Charity, severe as a Hard-shell preach- er. "Let this turn your soul to, God, an' it Will prove a blessin' in disguise." "Sho 1" says Mis' Amos Burridge; "thee ain't no use tryin' ter bolster the poor ahild up with such talk es that. It's a terrible misfortin—terrible. It's jest es if she had jumped from twenty years to eighty—from bein' a strong young girl to a helplese old woman' needin' es ranch care es a baby, an' sufferin' perhaps fur a drink o' water even; because a family do git so wore out waitin' on a invaleed." 'In my family," says I, "ther' would 'a bin no thought o' trouble. We wuzn't the kind ter count our steps fur the afflicted. Consequently when my bus - band's mother wiz down with the rheumatism fur years an' years, her room wuz about the cheerfalest in the house—fur everybody wuz •a-runnin' to her with some lovin' service—an' the Visitation o' the Sick read quite fre- quent to enliven us." "Never mind all that," says Little Mary Jane, with a wave of her lietie fat hand. "Let us be practical. The thing is ter find somethin' fur Jitney ter do. I callate she don't mean ter lie round all her days a burden on folks, so I've bin a-studyin' ate' a-studyin' what. she could do. Now I take it she couldn't do nothin' better than ter buy a kittin' machine. She could pervide mittens an' socks fur the whole coma try, far everybody would buy of her on account of her affliction; an' thusly she could have ackerpation an' a stiddy income." "Knittin' machines cost a sight o' money," says Amos Berridge's wife, very dry. “Who's goin' ter pay far it ?" "She might sell her geepe_ fur,a start." "An' her relations might all throw in an' -help," says I. At this there wnz a sort o' silence. Never a Berridge by name or birth wnz ever-willin' to put his hand in his pocket. "Well," says Nancy Jones as via; "some has to be burdens, an' some to bear 'm. I'm one o' the last, an' I dentstknow but what Pra the worse off o' the two of us. Twins the first year o' my marriage, an' a baby ten months after 1 I am fairly dragged out • with nureint an' I suppose I shell hey a baby in my arms es long es I am able to move." "That's somethin' Janey will never be troubled with, anyhow," says Mis' Amos, with a laugh, as if she wnz say somethin' of a soothin' an' agreeable lister'. So far from that bein' the case, however, it seemed as if that speech wuz the last straw. I had 'noticed far some time a sort of convulsive move- ment under the bed -clothes, as if Jamey's breast wnz aeheavin' with si- lent Bobs, an' now thee came a storm o' tears an' cries, as if natue had bore until a flood came fur relief. I jest riz up then, an' says : "Clear out from here, you onfeelin' set o' hu- man critters If I didn't have no more deceny than you've got, I'd go an' hold my head under Big Muddy CrIeek.y" They wuz skeered at the state they see they'd throwed Jamey inter, so they filed out pretty naeek. I took the poor child, an' worked with her, an' made her drink some hot tea an' take a good strengthenin' dose of qaineen ; an' after a while she grew quiet, an' the big moans stopped omin' from the poor breast where a cti ld's head would never rest, an' she fend ter it sweet sleep. Afore I thought her nap wuz over, Eben's head wn4 poked in the door. Says he, “Charley Winn's here, au' would like ter see Janey." "Well, he can' ," says 1, very short, "fur she is Weep' "I am awake now,Annt Fonie," says a voice from th bed. "Au' Charley may come in as s on as you have tidied me up e bit." Pretty soon we heard. his step on the stair. Janey wiz trernblint but she shook hands with him quite calm when hecane in, an' s e says, "You go out, Aunt Fonie ; I wa nt to talk to Charley by himself." But, dear sak I I had no notion of effacin' myself, sol stepped outside o' the door, leavin it ajee, an' a-settin' myself where I *could look an' listen quite comfortable Janey lay there her big eyes fixed. on Charley's face. E e stood up, twirlin' his hat, first on one foot, then on the either, an' lookin powerful meechint bar a fact. "Charley," be 'n poor Jitney, "it's hard to come to t "I'd like to that little devil !" • cried Charley. "Oh no, don't Sy that. Poor child! you know he ran away to his pa: you remember Lex F ley? Lex wrote a letter ter my fath r, expressini a great deal o' concern. • e said it seemed as if Eliek's heart w# fairly broke. May- be he'll make a g'.d man yet." "If he gas te be the President, I don't see how that's ter make np ter me fur lesin' you." _ "A-losin' me ?" repeats Janey, ery slow. "But I ain't 4ead, Charley, nor like ter die, the docto says." That hat went ronnd in Char ey's fingers as if it wuz possessed. But you know, Janey," he stammer d "you know, a man he to marry a Wo- maanter de her shear o' the work. And you can't do anythin ." "True," says Ja ey, speakin" Ivery loud an' harsh, "I'm laid on the 4helt. An' of course a man ## allies a w, Man _ter have his meals • .ked regla , an' the harvestin"tended to, an' the lard tried out, an' the apple -butter Made, an' the geese plucked, an' the house cleaned, in' the weshin' done oniMon- day, an' the mendin' Saturday, aia' the odd jobs on Sunday." Exactly, says he, noddin' his head, an' never mistrustia'—the gawk le -that any woman with feelin's above a dumb beast's would 'a liked fur her beiaa to add a little tenderness tothathill of pertikelers. Janey ewallered a few times, an? then saidtquitenateral, "Of course, Charley, you will be marryin' some one else be- fore a great while?" "Oh yes," he says. "My beam is built, you know, in' I've already got my seed in that fiftteacre lot. I shell have to git me a wife by next harvestitirne, you know." "An' have:you made up your mind," saws: Janey, very polite, '.where go a-courtinhnext time!" Don' talk to me about a man havip' any gumption 1 Charley Winn seemed quite pleased that Janey wnz takin' la- trine in his marryin', an' says he„' ins sociable kind o' way, as if he had been titlkin' to his grandmother. "X have been thinkin" of Mahaly Thing." 1 "She's powerful untidy," Boyd Janey. "They say she washes her hands eat' makes up her bread in the same leewl, An' I know bier kitchen_ is the sloppiest on the Nine -Mile." , "What* you "think of Ratty Hol- man ?" "Oh, she _would de," says Janey, spea.kin' quite dry, "if you could keep two hired girls—one to do the work, an one to _wait en her. She's as lazy 13 a snail." "Well, t14's Eery Wait; she app ars to be of a brik, active natur'." "So much so that they say she an drink more hard rider than any girl on the perarer." Charley knit up his brows, an' loo ed as if the 2•1:113jecet wuz gettin' ery knotty. (To be Continued.)

The resthetic craze may not be so productive of practical results as some other ideas that suddenly take hold of the public mind, but, the sunflower be- ing the standard, as it were, of this new idea, may receive the attention it de- serves, and become not only a fashion- -able foible, but also h. profitable plant. The Mammoth Russian is one Of the most profitable varieties, and should be cultivated in rows about six feet apart with the plants four feet in the rows. The result will be a yield of seed at the rate of from 50 to 100 bushels per acre, and for poultry Makes the best feed of anything we have eVer tried. They should be fed about three times a week during the laying season, and will give the very best results in eggs. Dur- ing cold weather the oil in the seeds serves the same purpose as in the lamp, and furnishes fuel to keep up the animal heat. , For show birds and exhibition a short diet of sunflower seed gives the feathers an extra gime/ coat, and a clean, bright look to the oombe and gills. The ad- vantages of a small plot of sunflowers near the house in warding off malaria is worth all the trouble of cultivating them, as well as the ornament and ,development of the atethetio among the young. t y Consumption, That dread destroyer of the human race, is often the result of bad blood and low vitality, a scrofulous condition of the system.
