"They do beat all!" sighed Mrs. Peck, as she wiped her face earnestly with a spotted cotton hanikerehidpf,and set her spectacles aloft on the top of her cap border. aI summered an' wi tered one on 'em nigh on to fifty year, and the' was thiugs he done 't 1 don'tse into up to this day. Besides I had .so s,and darters' husbands as well, and t ey're all of a piece; tarred with the same_ stick, as Lies used to say." - "Well," spoke up Miss Patty Bri kley, vivacious maiden lady, stoppi g to thread her needle, with both elbo s on the Tint frame, and her threand needle stabbing at each other early half a yard away from her str1 inbag eyes. “I hahit never had no sic• ex- perience, thanks be to praise ! P used . to sae if I had a married anybod I'd have killed em, or ran away fro 'ern, and I dono but I should." "They had something to be th nkfal for then,as well as thee,Patty,"dre ly re- marked. Aunt Marcia Blinn, the only lady of the "friends" persuasion'a she called it, of whom Oakley boasted "Well' they're queer anyhow,' . re- sumed the Widow Peck. "There s no 'countin for en;tthey'll up an do things you wouldn't no more expe t of 'ern than anything; and as for bein' protectors to women -folks and all that, which folks tells about in books my land 1 Lies Peck would ha' died more 'n forty times ef I laad't ha' had dry things for to pt onto him wheit he mine in soakin' wet out of the oncfk, or after a pourin' rain. As 'twas he died - ta' rheunaatiz "t he took along o' saw -logs down to the mill he a spring freshet, and never coming home to din- ner, but working all day in them damp clothes. I give him hot pokeberry rum, an' hemlock sweat, and two bull bottles of Gumption's -Ginger Bitters, be ides a rubbin of him ,powerful with am- phire, before I sent for the doctor; but - it struck to his stomic, and he we t off like a snuff. Bat that ain't here nor there; as I was sayina for rugh Ionto fifty years I'd put his flannel a irts into the front left hand c rner of the bottom drawer in mohoghly bureau ia the bedroom, every Sunday mornin' regular, whe was cleanin' up for meetina he'd ter out, 'Lunacy, where's them ft shirts re Mine? Now, that's so 1" eluded the disconsolate widow, wi the and he hol- nel on- ing her eyes, and adding in P• stage aside,— "But I'd give 'considerable to hear him holler that again 1" "And they hadn't =got no memory," put in Miss Patty, -who had at last coaxed needle and thread to an cable understandine, and was quilting away with zeal and discretion, as e-ery good quitter knows how. "I never see the tinae when they wouldn't fo get things. I've tailored round quite a number of years, and I've -lied an eye on 'em, as you may say. There Was Silas Back, I used to tailor for his folks consider'ble ; the' was him and three boys and the hired man. Well, ',a get oat o' linen thread, say, and you ean't no more make overhauls with se in' cotton than you can with spider -vi bs, tin' Mis' Buck she'd say, 'Silas,' ays she, 'Miss Patty's all out 'o en thread. When ye go down to:the s ore after them' rake -tails, I wish y u'd fetch up a hank o' bleck and a hank o' brown. Now don't ye forgit it.' An Silas he'd laugh, he was jest as clever as a basket o' chips, and heal say—, fetch it mother ;'—bat he wouldn't! an' I'd set an' set a waitin' foriaand put on my bannit aa' walk a mile dewn to the Corners for to fetch it myeelf ; then he'd say, 'Cousin Patty'—yon see we called cousins, because his father's second wife was sister to my Aunt Sophrorty's husband, -- 'Cousin Patty, hain't you got them , overhauls done yet ?' and I'd sorter bluster up an' — say, 'Cousin Silas, I ain't no more able to make brioks without straw 'n the Is'elites was for Pharo,' and you dicItat fetch me no thread yesterday!' and then he'd haw, haw right out; he was real clever, but land ! so shifilts. That's just a case in pint, so to ape k. you know; just one at a time, but ou can tell by a little what a great deal means, and, as Ms' Peck says, the 're all alike." “Thee doesn't think women folks re all, perfect, does the. Patty ?" que ed Aunt Marcia in her calm voice. "Weil, I dello as they be; I demo as I said they be, but you can gen'lly 1e11 where most of 'em '11 fetch up, and you'r kinder fit andprepared for what they will do, and. specially for w1iat they won't do. Sometimes they'll at- a.pp'int all your calciulations, but ten you can fall back on Scripter, and se 't they was made to be the weaker se t; though if taint really lawful to say o, I own I always did have a poor opin on of Adam as ever was; to be a tellint how Wwas Eve made him eat apple, when he done it' the first ti aakint, but 'twits jest like a man. T keep a <loin' of it to this day; its 'f ever an' always 'the woman temp “The remembers — doesn't thee that Scripture says 'the woman be deceived waa not in the transgressio It hath always seemed to me kindly Timothy 80 to speak of her as to the blame on the Eneme." “That ain't neither here nor there," answered. the , logical and undaunted Patty. "I ain't trying to make light 'ii Eve's disobeyina but I do say Adam was real mean to get behind her; he was able to say he wouldn't, I guess, jest as well as she was, but he didn't ma raoreal she did. I was a readire soraewhere's t'other day, about an old Freneh feller, a judge or somethina judge of a pilice court I expect by the tell, and whensomever they fetched a man before hirn that had been took pp for a misdeed, DO matter what 'twas, iie always asked 'Who is she Y', lettin on as though_ a wenuen wee to the bottom of every wrong-doind Clear Adam. And that's what I fault nen for." “Well, they be queer." Mits. Pek again took up the fruitful theme. "Say what wail that you was a telliea' about Thomas an' them letters Vother night ?" ma I" said Sarah 13eers depre- catingly, but with a laugh that lit her pale face and sad eyes; for Sarah was a typical New England woman, careful and troubled about everything; a coward physically, a hero mentally: afraid of her own sliadow, but doing the bravest things with heart sinking and her joints trembling all the time, because duty or affection called her to Fatah service. She married Tom Beers, a bright, stout young fellow, full of fun he I.ey r- ed ng in ay find reckless daring and devoted Web, but entirely ignorant of h daily anxieties and terrors: for she w reticent as she was timid,if she thong she conld save any one— mtich mo any one she loved—by such reticence. "Oh tell on 't Sary ; 't ain't no har We all know Tom sets 'by ye -like h life. He wouldn't do nothin' to plag ye, if he knowed it, no more'n he'd c his head off • but the letter busine Was so exactly like men -folks." 1 A chorns of voices echoed the rape there were only about ten people at t quilting—it ,was the regular Sewi Circle meeting of Oakley — so Sar consented. j "Well; 't ain't much to tell, but naa wants me to. You know Tom horse is real young and kind of skittis and if there is one thing above anoth I'm afeard of, its a horse." "Bless your soul and body," put her mother, never see the thing y was'n afeard of, Baru, horse or not. "Oh, I know it ma, but I'm awful afeard of a skittish horse; Tem, don't really sense it, and he says Jenn ain't ugly, she's just full of play; and suppose she is; she's knowing as a do and I give her a bite of something eve time he fetches her 'round, and sh knows me real well, butethe will juna and lash oat and shy sometimes, an it makes me just as weak as water, s 't I don't never drive,her ef I can hel "Yen don't mean to say you ever d drivea creatatr when you feel that kin te way towards it ?" quiered Miss Patt ,sharply. "Why, I hev to sometimes. ye know there's oftentimes a day Tom can leave the hayin' or barvestin' or planti or something, and there has to b -things fetched from the store, and n way to get 'em except I go for 'ere, s Tom he jest tackles up and I go for 'em he don't really mistrust that I'm scare ed, and I don't never tell him that I be what's the use ?" "Well," said Miss Patty, with a sni no type can express, and Sarah wen on: "So week before last, Aunt Simon writ and said she was comin' out to ate a day or two before she went back South and she was going to fetch Joe, that' her oldest, along with her; she wante for to have up meet her at the station but she said she shouldn't come if i rained: she's got dreadful weak lungs but she'd telegraph if she wahat comin' Well, Wednesday morning, the da she set to come, it did rain sure enough and seeing there was the donation part to get up, I sided my work away earl and walked over to the Centre,for I knew I should find all the folks I'd got to se at home. I'd just got ready to start fe home alonanoon time, and I bethough myself to step into the post -office, for knew there'd be_the mail for the cream ery, so I got a double handful of letter and papers, and set my face toward home, when who should come up ba Tom he the buggy. "Get in!' says he, 'I'm agoin' to the station." "What for?" says L hWhy," says he, "they hadn't sent no telegraph, so they're coming. - "But it rains,' says I, 'and Aun Simone said she shouldn't come if it rained. 'Well,' says he, obey orders and break owners; she said she'd telegraph if they weent coming; and how do you know but it didn't rain there." "So I got in and put the mail down onto the seat, and he driv like John, for we heerd the train whistle; and says I 'Oh Tom, don't drive down the hill to the station, I'm so afraid Jenny will be soared., "He laughed a little. bet sh wouldn't be half so scared as you,' say he; but I'll leave you to the foot of th hill, and if they come I'll holler dow to yen, and I'll get in and go up to rt station and put 'em into the hack that waits there, for there can't four get into this buggy; and you drive along into that station, and then I'll put yea into the haek With Aunt Simons'an take Joe along 'o me in the buggy So sayin' he jumped out, . for we wa there; and run up just in time to ca- tc the train. I didn't have a thought that they'd be there, but they -was, and h called out, 'They're here, • drive along' I knew 'twas the quickest way to take the road alongside the track, but the 'Tuck train was due, and Jen is skittish, bat I thought I'd ought to, so I drove along; there wasn't no train, but right in the tread, where I couldn't turn her back, I see two louse horses—and if there is la thing that puts lightnin' into Jenny, its loose horses. I tell you the shivers qrun down my back, but I knew the on y chalice was to go so fast she wouldn t think about side shows; so I jist lad the whip onto her, and she sprung o and went by them horses quicker! Well, tile back was going over t e bridge but I catched up with it, an Joe he got out with Thomas and took t e buggy, and I got, in with Aunt. -Tore had got to go up street to get a can fo the creamery. I called out to him a we went off, "'Look mit for your mail on the seat, and we drove along. But we hadn't gone a half a mile, before Tom he came tearing along and stopped the hack. " ' Where did you pit the mail,' Bays' e 'Why, on the seat of the buggy,' says L" "'No you didn't l' says he; 'there was nothing there but papers.'" "'1 guess I gave you the lettere, then. I sort of thought I did,' says I." have'nt got 'em anyway,' says he. 'Look in all your pockets,. Sally, they ain't in mine.' Sol looked and looked, but I hadn't a letter. I knew I hadn't, but I looked to suit him. Then I thought a,bout how I drove by the side road, and I told him I guessed they'd jolted out of the buggy when I driv so fest." "'Dear me I' says he. must have those letters to -da. I've got to ; I'll go back over the side road and see if I can see or hear anything about 'era.' 1So he turned round.- I tell you I felt lreal bad ;but I couldn't think anyway in the world what I did with them letters, and I see he was worried to death. After we got to the house and Aunt Simon was fixin' herself upstairs, he drove up with Joe." " 'Sary,' says he, 'do look over your pockets again for them letters ; I expect there was a $300check in one of 'ern, and we can't afford to lose it.' I was just ready to cry, I can tell you, but I over -looked the pockets again; they wa'nt there, and he said there wasn't any sign or hearin' of them on the road, I felt as though I should give up, when he turned and went out of the door, but THE HURON EAPt)SITOR. • just as he Swung the gate to he :iollered. out, I 1 ?

"Wa'nt that real man ?" Mrs: Peck asked of the audience whh a .,:ine of fin si seorn. "Did thee wish thee'd, never Seen thy heshand ?" asked Aunt Marcia of Salty. The anxious face flushed and the sad eyes sparkled. 1 _ i r ' "Aiant Marcia, I shouldn't know how toli4 without Tom itne way in this mort I 'world." And the clear voice br4e-down as if the theught of such a contingeney was too museh. Aunt Marcia smiled. i i . "I expect there is faults in all human creatures. .

" Miss Patty ceald not deny it. Eating for Vitarlein g. The importance of that matter is far too little appreciated or 'understood by the great majority of farmers. Many who carefully consider what kinds and quanttaies of food, of oats, corn, ground and cet feed, hay or grass, will enable thene'to get -the most good work out of their horses and oxen, the richest miik,or largest amount of it, fro their cows— also7 the best times of fee ing—sadly ne- glect to use similar thought and care respecting themselves . and their work- men. I The foreigner werking a New Jersey farm, in explaining how he got together money enough to buy it, said : "We eells every ting thaabringshle cash; what shon't sell, we feed to de hooses; what de bosses don't eat, we feeds to de cows; what de cows don .e eat we feeds to de sheep ; what de sheep don't eat, we feeds to de pigs ; and *hat dey don't eat, we eats ourselves." ',This is an ex- aggerated etatement, of course, but it illustr4tes a principle tee - often follow- ed—selling the good and eating the poor. i Strength comes only from suit- able nutritious food, well digested. A man, whether employer ' or employed, will have far more workbag power if he eats as much, and only aa much, as he can digest well, of lean nteat,; properly cookedj, good bread, oat -Meal, ordinary and cardcheese, and the like, than if consunaing salt fat pork, cooked almost to a crisp, with potatoes, to. 1 A labor- er, paid a dollar or mores day, will do double'real work if five te ten -cents ex- tra be spent in sapplying hint with food that will give him the fullest strength. Beans, if not charred or browned in cooking, peas, men or ripe, good bread and cabbage thoroughly cooked, supply the e1t4ents for musculae force. The plood is an active helper in the di- gestionof food, by eupplying the gastric solvents, and it carries nqurishment to the muscles and to.the brain. While a heavy m,eal is being vverked up, the blood is drawn away from the muscles and brain to the stomach. When at hard work or exercise with the mind or body, the blood is drawn from the stomach, and less nouriShment is ob- tained from food. It is a good rule to work slowly at first, after full meals, and increase the amousat of exercise gradually, as the blood lean be spared from the digestive organs. More will be accomplished by this Course in work- ing and thinking. The French people, who make a study of the subject, take very little food on rising, a roll and coffee, and perhaps a baked apple, and begin work at daylight. Towards noon they take another simple repast, and do a full day's work by four 'clock in the afternoon; then rest a little, take a full .hearty meal, and make a business of digesting it. During the rest of the evening and night this meal is digested, diffused all through the; system, and quietlyjmilds up and strengthens the muscle e so they are ready for vigorous work ale next day. Experienced horse- men understand that wit a heavy feed of oatseeta., at night, and a light break- fast, a Mese gets a rese ved stock of muscular strength laid in in advance, and will travel faster and farther • than one having a hearty morning feed to start on.—American Agriciaturist. , 134re Places in Lawns. - By ".Lawn "we mean' any piece of grass kept solely for ornamental pur- poses. It may be merely a frontyard, or on large places it may nclade many acres. These may fromi some cause show thin and poor plac s here and there. }These may be meilded by sever- al methods. If the bare places are large, tile surface may be worked over with a .aharp rake, to take out dead stems and roots, and tlien after fer- tilizingebe wenn with grass seed of a kind similar to the rest of the lawn. If the bare patches are small, the quick- est way to mend them is to lay turf. In England, a method is in use, not only for restoring bare plaees in estab- lished lawns, but also for starting new ones, c41ed " inoculatine. " The ground being well prepared, bits qf turf (sods), about three inches square!are inserted a food apart each way.' These will take root and spread, soonj covering the whole surface. In makiiig or mend- ing a lawn, recollect that the work is to Net for years and that a gibed supply of fertilizing material will be a good in: vestmeot—American Agr culturist for May. ,) As Signs of G-enerarDebffltj and mal -nutrition in children we have rickets, knock-knee, bow legs, chicken - breast, round -shoulders, pallid coin- pleaion, precociousness, peevish tern per, which are expressions of I feeble diges- tion and) assimilation, with blood im- poverislihnent.
