THE H VIE ON EXPOS ITORN
A CUTTING TONGUE.
Shirless ?"
Etihu Beaton repeated the word after
his wife in a surprised and injured tone.
He was leaning against the door -post -of
their little browu cottage -at the end of
the lane a mile out on the "city road,"
from tI4 village of Fairmount. His
heart had been full of contentment a mo-
ment before, as he mentally summed up
the mercies of the nearly ended year,and
of wondering admiration as well, as he
watched the crimson glory of he sunset
above Mount Fair.
"I'm glad we built here, where we
can see the sun set and rise over the
dear old mountain," he had innocently
remerked over his shoulder to his wife,
who wes "flying around" in the kitchen
prepering a supper with a most appetiz-
ing smell. "It beats all how • 'pretty
that sky looks to -night, Hover"
Mrs. Beaton had been washing that
'morning. That "goes without saying,"
because she was a New England woman
--a-a "capable " woman, andbecause it
was Monday. Equally, of course (in her
household), there had been what she
called a "boiled pot" prepared after
breakfast and set well back on the
great stove, as a good, hearty, sensible
kind of a dinner, that would trouble no
one to look after it, but would "cook
itself!'
Breakfast, the prospeutive dinner, and
then Balla being well out of her way,
Mrs. feIesper turned the .sleeves of her
gray print dress up over her well round-
ed entre, put on a large bib•apron and a
pair of tubbers, and bent over the wash-
tub in such an energetic fashion, that;
at ten o'clock, every cloth was in its
place on the line, at eleven the floors _
Were mopped, and the house in apple-
pie order, at twelve, to a rninute,Eliha's
favorite dinner smoked upon the boerd,
and his wife, in her clean afternoon
dress, with shining hair, and with a
pink ribbon in her collar, waited to
; catch the first glimpse of him, coming
from the village, whither she had die-
_ patehed him to purchase groceries for
the ensuing month.
_ She waited in vain till half past one
o'cloek, and then ate her own dinner,
so full of wrath against the absent one,
that' she scarcely noticed how_ cold the
.vegettleles had grown.
The afternoon wore on. Just as she
put on the kettle for tea Elihu drove up
the hill, and after attending to the com-0
fort of his horse, entered the kitchen
with his pockets and hands full of pack-
ages, and his mind full of the wondrous
story of the old friend who had detained
him so long.
"You used.to know Jim Hunter as
well as I did, when he was a boy,
Hespy," he remarked, unheeding her
Mack looks. °
"And you know how the neighbors
all said he'd never come to any good,
when he ran away froui his step -father's
house and went to sea. He did come to
good, though! He left his ship and
went to the mines, and now he owns a
haridsocue rancho out in Texas, and has
more money than I can count in a day.
I should have asked him out to see you,
only he was in a hurry ta catch the
night train for New York, so I waited
to see hide off. A good fellow, Jim
Efe deserves his luck, every bit of
Mrs. Hepsey assaulted the fire, rat-
tled out the table, flung on the cloth,
and put down each piece of crockery
needed with an emphasis, but kept her
lips tightly closed the while.,
Elihu stole a sidelong glance that
took in her heightened color and the
" map" df her black eyes, and discreet-
ly moved himself to the doorstep, where,
in contemplating the beaoties of the
sunset, he soon grew composed and
happy again, actually forgetting his
irate spouse, after his first remark
about ti e sunset, until that disagreeable
word fell from her lips, sharp and dis-
tinct as the crack of a whip. -
" Sir -nese 1 Who is shif 'less,
Hepsey ?" he asked, after a lengthened
pause.
" Who? Why, you of course !"
snapped hisswife, who had just torn her
new apron on the oven -door, and scald-
ed her hand in the steam of the tea -ket-
tle, and who, naturally: was disposed to
blame her husband for both accidents.
" What elee are you?"
Elibu's mild blue eyes roved over the
field that he had sowed, reaped and
mowed that year, and ever since his
beloved father's death.
"Well, I don't know," he said slowly.
"I do my work and keep my farm
up as well as the rest of my neighbors
" And go to the store and sit there all
day long, to gossip with your Jim Hun-
ters while I am waiting here for forty
things, and obliged to get your dinner
twice over for you in one day," rejoined
Hepsey, setting the warmed up "boiled
dish" on the table with a bang that
thoroughly testified to the strength of
the yellow "nappy" that held it. "And
standing there, now, mooning about
the sunset, when any fool might know
that water is wanted from the well
before tea."
"I'll bring the water, Hepsey."
,
It was the 'soft answer," although it
did not "tern away the wrath," so far
as vrerds were concerned. But the tone
in which it was spoken betrayed rising
• temper on Mr. Beaton'e part.
Re took the pail, turned the east
corner of the house, and Hepsey saw
him no more.
As he walked along, with his eyes
upon the ground, a strange process was
going on in Elihu Beaton's mind. Dur-
ing the ten years of their married life
he had endured Hepsey's continual
"nagging" as a matter of course, with no
attempt at rebellion.
But, on this evening his heart was
softened—full of old memories, old
dreams, and hopes of plans, long since
laid aside and ;well-nigh forgotten' till
the four hours' conversation withthe
friend of those early claSre had recalled
them, and with them the spirit of en-
thusiastic, adventurous daring that had
lent them their beauty an their life.
Never had this one discord of his
otherwise prosperous and happy life so
jarred upon him as now.
" If I was to go away, as Hunter's
brother has gone, and come back rich,
she would have a higher opinion of me,"
he thought, glancing back once more at
the sunset light upon his home.
He set the tin pail down softly by the
well -room door, and strode away across
the fields toward the distant town.
Half an hour later his wife went forth,
impatiently, to call him in to eat. An
hour later she was wildly calling his
name, as she, with her hastily seimmbned
neighbors, sought him up and down the
farm. But search and seek as she
might, with the late repentance horn of
love and tears, it was all in vain. He
was gone 2 No one in Fairmount knew
less or more than that of Elahu Beaton
from that autumn afternoon.
Two years passed slowly by. The
good people of Fairraount resembled
every other "people" in one respect,
and rarely paid any great or long -sus-
tained attention to the troubles of their
neighbors, to long as their own affairs
remained in, a healthfully prosperous
state.
Consequently the place which Elihn
Beaton had filled in the small commun-
ity was soon filled up. Everyone grew
used to thinking of him as they thought
of the dead. No one expected that the
mystery of his fate would ever be un-
raveled—in this world at least.
No one except his ' ife, His wife,
who was already design ted in the minds
of many, if not in their ectual thoughts,
as "The Widow Hereto
;.,
Elihu's disappearance was not to her
the profound mystery that it was to all
others: They had lived much; to -them-
selves; being on a by -,road, at some diet-
ance from the village, and on the rare
;occasions when they had visitors, or
"extra hands," Mrs. Beaton had treated
her husband with all due respect.
She knew, and she only, how' often
she had tried, the patient, kindly man to
the last verge of endurance by her acrid
tongue. °vier and over again, even in
those days, she had risen, of a bright,
sunny morning, res'olving not to give
way, that day, to her temper. And
when the fire would not draw, or the
kettle would boil over, the biscuit weuld
burn in the ovenoor her pet cat would
get under her feet as he 'was hurrying
from the table to the.stove, up the
angry words would bubble, and Elihu,
being the only hurnan creature at tend,
would pay the penalty of the "general
depravity of inanimate things," till he
would fairly rush out of the house, some-
times uttering a mild protest that: "It
did beat ail why a woman should want
to act ;so," a protest which would render
his wife ten times more angry than be-
fore, until the time came for her wrath
to die naturally away.
Yes, she would lay her hand upon her
heart, and say that she had often tried,
honestly, in the old days, to wear a
pleasant face and speak in a pleasant
tone, yet how signally she had failed.
Ande at the last, she had fairly driven
hirnirom the home he .loved so well.
Driven him, by that one stinging word,
that false word, which she ought to
have known that he could not, and
would not bear.
" Shif 'less ! I must have been quite
beside myself to say it," she thought, as
she stood in the open kitchen door. one
December evening, looking • toward the
sunset on the distant hill. "There
never was a better worker than Elihu in
Fairmount. I'm sure this farm shows
the difference since he left it, and no
one does by me as they agree when they
take the land. Well, I've only myself
to blame for it all ! Oh, how sorry I
am! 0 Elihu, Elihu! where in the
wide world are you? Oh, if you could
i
m
only come home and forgive e, how
happy I hould be !"
A sob hoked her,
and she raised her
apron to her eyes. Looking across those
snow covered meadow lands toward the
hills, she had seen Deacon George's gray
horse and green sleigh turn in at the
gate of the George homestead, had seen
the end (Icor of the great red house fly
open, letting. out the comfortable glow
and light of an open fire upon the kit-
chen hearth, had seen the deacon's wife,
fair and rosy in her healthful middle
age, while the "bound boy" led the fat,
gray horse away to a good supper in its
warm stable.
,
Her own kitchen was now rosy with
the light of the flames from two well -
seasoned logs upon the hearth, • and the
tea -table was spread with good things
for her lonely tea, yet she could not
turn from the spectacle of her neighbor's
household comfort, although she gazed
upon it through her tears.
Suddenly the gray cat and the black
cat, who had been basking aide by side
in the heat -upon the hearth, rushed to
th
e door with the same peculiar cry of
welcome which, as kittens, they had
been wont to greet their master's com-
ing two years ago. ;
A step coming around the east corner
of the house as if from the well -room,
sounded on the snow. A voice with an
odd tremble and quaver in it, said:
"I've brought the water for tea,
Hepsey."
',coking round with a pale, . scared
'face, a's if she expected to find a ghost
behind her. Mrs, Beaton saw „her hus-
band, ruddy, brown and bearded, with
a bright new tin pail filled with water,
In his hand.
"Seer no more about it, Hepsey,
dear !" exclaimed Elihu, when his wife
threw' her arms around his neck with a
sobbing prayer to be forgiven. "I was
quite as much in the wrong as you were,
that time, at least, for I went away
proud and angry, and not caring how
much you might suffer when you could
not find the least trace of me about the
farm. How did I go, do you ask?
Walked over to Stainton, across lets,
and then by train to New York, and OD
to California, like a fool 88 -was ! I
grew homesick enough long before I got
there, but my pride wouldn't let me
come back till I had made my fortune at
the mines where Hunter's brother work-
ed. And I've done it, Ilepsey—at
least it will be a fortune in a place like
Fairmount, and there's nothing in rea-
son that you may set your heart on, in
future, that I cannot afford to give
you."
"0, Elihu, don't be so good !" sobbed
his wife. "1 don't deserve it, when I
drove you away from home."
"Not a word of that, I insist, my
dear," said Elihu, as he drew her into
the house and closed the door. "We
were two fools, and we know it now;
and we shall be wise enough in the
future, I'm sure, to make ourselves as
happy together as God intended us to be
when He gave us so many blessings.
Now dry your eyes, Hepseee, and let me
have a real homelike, cornfortable sup-
per with you once more. Bless me!
How bright and cozy, and pleasant it
does look, to be sure! And here are
these poor little things_ actually remem-
bering me—glad to see me 'Mat look
at them, Hepsey—how they lick my
hand !" said the farmer bending down,
with att unsteady laugh ov7 the two
cats as they stood on their hind feet to
caress him.
And Mrs. Hepsey, glancing at the
group, saw plainly two large sparkling
tears fall from her husband'e eyes as he
bent above his pets, and looked'into the
joyous, welcoming fire.—Margaret
Blount in Ballou'a Magazine.
Some Common Insects.
From a very interesting paper on
above subject in the Country Gentlem
lyre iake the following:
he insect world is so large and var
that few persons have more than a va
idea of what animals are included in
It is very common to hear 'anim
spokeh of as insects, which are in
way related to them; thus the co
polyps, by which the immense co
islands are built up, are often spoken
as insects, though they belong to an
tirely different branch of the anim
kingdom. A few of the general oh
acterietios of inflects will be namedom
as will enable any one to tell of a giv
animal whether it is an insect or not.
As to the general structure of t
body, the characteristic feature is th
it consists of three distinct parts. I
deed, it is from this fact that the inse
are so named, the word freely translat
meaning cut into rthe body being e
into these three parts. The first; part
always easily distinguishedas the head
the second part, which bears the legs (
which there are always three pairs) a
the wings (of which there are usual
two pairs) Is called the thorax ; t
third, or hinder part, ie the abdome
In general, the easiest way to tel an in-
sect from any other kind of animal is
notice whether there are three pairs
legs attached to the middle segment
the body. By this method the larvae
insects can also be easily distinguishe
from worms. In the larvae, or wor
stage of development, insects have qui
a number of pairs of legs, but the thr
pairs of true legs are always much larg
than the others and are hear the hea
end of the body.
It is not possible to distinguish lime
by their wings, for not all insects • hav
them, the working ants and the sprin
tails beidg common examples. It is a
interesting point that the spring-tails,b
means of the organ which gives them
their name, are able to make high leap
into the air, thus enjoying, to some ex
tent, the advantage of air flight possess
ed by the winged insects. . It is as
nature sought, by a special contrivance
to make good the loss which they under
go by not having wings.
In the winged insects there may b
one or two pairs present. The house
fly and the mosquito are examples of in
sects basing only one pair of wins. I
the latter animal, however, a secon
pair, in a rudimentary form, is present
forming balan :ere by which it is able t
poise in the air. When two pairs o
wings are present the anterior pair i
usually much thicker than the other and
forms a cover for the latter ; this is wel
seen in the beetles and grasshoppers.
The wings of insects are to be regard
ed merely as out-foldings of thie 8kin to
forra organ for locomotion in the air
Running through the wings are branch
ing hollow tubes commonly called
"veins." These tubes are connected
with others like them that ramify the
whole body of the insect, and perform
the functions of lungs, for they are filled
with air from outside the body, and in
this way an 'exchange of gases takes
place between the blood of the insect
and the air in the tubes. Along the
sides of the body of an insect are the
openings of the air tubes; they are call-
ed spiracles and serve to let air in and
out. The paesage of the air in and out
is effected by muscular contractions. If
one holds a beetle, as a June beetle, in
the hand, these contractions can be
seen. • No doubt insects regulate their
flight, whether upward or downward,
by the quentity of air admitted into
their body.
The eyes of insects are situated on the
head segment of the body and, as is
well-known, are usually compound.
The compound eyes, by presenting- sur-
faces or facets in many directions,enable
the insect to see both forward and side -
wards without moving the ()Ye as a
whole, which indeed is impossible, the
eye having no motor muscles. Beside
compound eyes many insects have sim-
ple eyes, called ocelli. The grasehop.
per, for example, has a simple eye be-
tween the two large compound dyes.
Many insects have ears. It is to be sup-
posed that all insects able tp make
noises are also able to hear. In the
grasshopper the ears are not situated in
the head, as one would be likely to sup-
pose, but in the anterior part of the
third segment or abdomen. There are
two, one on each aide, each consisting of
a membrane, comparable to the tym-
panum of the Murrell ear, connected on
the inner side With an auditory nerve.
Insects produce sounds by rubbing their
wings together or against their legs, or
simply by rapidly spinning them in the
air. -
Most insects are provided with a pair
of antenna or feeling organs attiChed to
the head. Ants are said to convey in-
telligence, as of alarm by touching one
another with their feelers. It is thus
seen that the higher insects have organs
of touch, sight and hearing. We know
also they have organs analogous to those
of taste and smell in the higher animals,
since they readily discriminate between
different kinds of food.
