'There is no use in reasoning any more ; my mind id made up 1 I will uot marry a farmer! All your argu ments are of uo account.' 'I am sorry, Jeunie, you are so determined.' 'Alulhet, do you want your child to go through lite as you have done toil from morning till uight, and sometimes half of the night besides Bick or well, no odd9 dolve, work, all the timo?' 'All farmers' families are not sit uated just as ours has beou ; you know your father ' Yes. I know all about it, he loves his cattle and horses Tar more than he does his children, aud he is teu times more careful of his old mare thau he is of his wife the mother of liia children. Jennie! JfMinie "Wells! You ought not to speak so.' But, mother dear, it is the truth ; you can not deny it! Haven't I eyes? AVe girls can see the case as plain as day. Old Doll has nlco colts, and she must not be worked. Bless me! it might hurt the colt to drive the' old mare to tho village, she must be fed high and live at her ease; but his wife; no danger of hurting her babies or her either! No wonder tho baby is sick and fretful, when poor mother is overheated, overworked from morning till night, uot one hour to rest all day; and just as Boon as we girls arc large enough to help you, we havo.to run for the turkeys, drive the cows, feed tho pigs, and leave you to toil on alone. It is a burning shame!' Jeunie, your father does not look at it as you do.' It is high time he did ; aud I am going to give him a chauce, before I leavo home, too.' 'Leave home, child ! "Where are you going?' 'Somewhere. Yep, I shall he eighteen next mouth, and I am goinr to see if there is a place whero one can have an hour's rest, to enjoy reading.' My child, how can I. spare yon what will baby do?' It I am away, Etta will take my place, instead of working out-of-doors as much as she does now it will bo better for her. A man has no business to make a girl work as she has to. Don't you think it would ho easier for her if I was away ?' 'Oh dear, my child, I can not see how it will be. I do not think your father will like it. Does George know how you feel ?' And the poor woman sighed heavily. Yes, mother, I told him last night ; he thinks his wife would havo an easier time than you have had ; but a farmer's wife is a slave; her work is never done. Mother, if George Hartwell was any thing but a farmer, I thiuk I could love him enough to marry him; but as it is, I would rather remain an old maid to the end of my life.' You do not object to him only his occupation ?' That is all ; I really thiuk he is very pleasant.' Just then Mr. Wells's voice rang out from the top of the load of hay which was being drawn into the baru. 'Jennie, its time to get the cows. You girls will have to do the chorrp, for we must get iu three more loads of hay to-night.' Jennie knew what that meant; sho and her sister Etta had the cows to drive from the pasture, more than half a mile off; twelve cows to tie up and milk ; eight hogs to feed ; milk to strain; find the lurkeyp, count and feed thorn; chickeus to feed and shut up in their coops ; two horses to water, feed and bed down, and a supper to get for four moii ; and it was now about 8 o'clock! She laid her work down and with compressed lips, joined her sister, who sat on the door-step fanning herself with her hat; her pleasant face was sunburnt, covered with perspiration and dirt, aud the tears were trickling down her cheeks. 'What is it, Etta darling? Don't cry; I will bring you a ba3in of water and tho towel, and you rest. I will get the cowa alone. Poor little sister!' 'I am tired almost to death, Jen nie! It is not going to rain I They aro going to gaiu time to go to the bear-hunt to-morrow. I uever can milk tho cows to-night, I'm so tired.' 'Sit and rest; you feel better now, you have bathed.' 'Some; the Hartwella, have more hay out than wo have, and their milking is done, aud the girls did not have to do it either; the girls did not rake after the cart over there ; they have a good time.' 'Etta had better take caro and rest on the settee, Jennie, while you are gone for the cows,' said the mother softly from the sitting-room, -as Jen nie started from the door. Yes, Etta, go in ! He can not see you in the house when he goes back bo he won't set you to work.' Mtpl The poor, tired girl went in doors, aud Jennie walked with a brik Btep towards the pasture. Mr. Wells was a well-to-do farm er. He inherited from his father a sung farm, well stocked, and in good cultivation. He was a fine looking man, and was considered tho best match iu town ; so when he married the minister's oldest daughter every one thought she ffni a fortunate girl -such a nice home, so smart a husband, and so well off too! So thought the youug bride for a while but that was before she kuew what was before her. Though she never complained, she did not think so now, neither had she been of that opinion but a lew months atter her marriage. She was a perfect slave, both soul and body, held iu bondage by Ezra Wells. He would have been astonished if an one had told him he was a tyrant in hH family; that his children did not love him ; that his wife was afraid of him. But yet this was the truth. Property was all he cared for; to have the best crops, the fattest cat tle, the best horr-e-, aud make tho most butter and cheese, of any man in town, was his highest ambition, and every person and thing had to be subservient to this end. Ilia four eldest children were girls; the two oldest were vory pretty girls the next, two died in infancy; then camp a boy, a delicate child always, with a spinal wpaknes thai disabled him from labor. Two other boy-b:ibie-followed, ho frail that they passed from earth with their first breath, and the weary mother would have followed them but for the strong mother-love she bore to her living children. When Jennie was 1(! an other little girl made its advent, aiuM now was just nble to walk when another son came into the house hold. Mrs. Wells was very delicate in health, and, as .Tessio said, sho was not half as well treated as the high-blooded mare that fed at leisure iu the meadow pasture, with her beautiful colt capering around her side; that was worth money! A younger sister of Mrs. Wells, who had marrifid a mechanic, had fre quently paid her short visits and saw with deep regret the hard lot that had fallen to her sister. She even remonstrated with her brother-in-law when lie told her he was going to purchase another farm, as f,he saw it would increase the bur dens of her poor bisier, who was already loaded down with labor and care; and he did consent to let his invalid foii go to live with her, bo he could be benefitted by the sea air and bathing, not thinking, his wife wished him to go for fear his father would work him too hard and des troy what little vitality he possessed. It was to pay for this farm that Wells was in debt. His familj were pinched in dress and comfort, every luxury was denied them, and it was as Jennie Baid, delve and drudge from morning till night. After tho girls were old enough to work they wero kept from school, and had not 'their aunt kindly Bent them books, aud their mother been capable ot instructing them, the would have been deplorably ignor ant. If they went to church, they had to walk, for the horses were too valuable to stand hitched; they might get frightened and break loose, and it would never do for girls to drive tho mare, it would ruin the colt, or he would get cast, or hung, or something else would happen ; so they seldom enjoyed the privilege of Sunday-school or sanc tuary. Mr. Hartwell, their nearest neighbor, used to say that 'if Mrs. Wells were not an angel, the chil dren would trrow up perfect heath ens,' and he always managed to find something pleasant in his papers and magazines for Mrs. Wells and the girls to read ; or if he purchased a now book it found its way to Mrs. Wella, and his only pon, George, was generally the messenger who carried it over. Botli Mr. and Mrs. Hartwell were acquainted with her before her marriage, and the mem ory of her fit her, who Numbered in the peaceful churchyard, was very precious to them, and l hey tried by every means in their pownr to light en the heavy load that was placed upon her. George Hartwell did not quite despair of changing Jrnnir-'s opinion with regard to marrying a farmer, and held frequent conf.ullntinna with his mother upon tho siibje.:l. One morning ho quite astonished his father by pugt'tting llutt ho should like to take his Fister.q and go to Connecticut to visit somu cousins, provided he could get some one to help mother while they were gone; he had been thinking of it for gome time. The girls were delighted with the. plan, and thought, perhaps, Jen nie Wells would coino and atop with them, and assist while they were gone. So, after bieakfast, Mr. Hartwell went over to see if it could WHOLE NO. 58:3. be arranged. Mra. Wells thought she could spare her if her sister could be allowed to take her place; and to, atter a good many contrarj arguments. from their father, it was decided that for threo dollars a week Jennie might go and stay with tho Hartwells, while the young peo ple went on their pleasure excursion These five weeks wero the most delightful dayti of Jennie's whole life. She saw that all tanners' girl, or wives, were not slaves, and that tho buushiue that never illuminated her own home beamed brightly in tho kitchen and parlor of her new station. llow I wish our home was a, pleasant!' she exclaimed to Mrs. Hartwell. as she was watering the bright flowers that had been hut care each day; 'I do love flowers so much, but father will uot allow us to havo ono in any place ; and you have pvcrylhuur so eas and conven ient about the work ! You have no idea of the difference; my mother would so like to have thinga arrang ed as jou have them, but father' '1 know all about it, Jennie! We all love our homo, aud try to make it pleasant ; and I am glad you have had a chauce to seu that fanners' daughters can be as happy as un girls; can have justas many pleasant thiiiirH, and just as good times, an any class ot people in the world. There are exceptions, of course, but for myself, Jennie, I would rather be a fanner's wile than the wife of either a merchant or professiotvil man, or be an old maid.' A bright blush mantled over Jen nie's lace as she bent it over a beau tiful monthly rose; 'George lias told you,' and tho tears started in her eyes. Yes, dear, and I did not wonder you fell so. either. The love of money has clouded your young life, and I thought if jou could .see, day after day, how happy we nre, and how pleasant our home is, you would feel diflereutly ; so we planned the visit for the young folks for your especial pleasure; I could think of no other way to get you here for a tew weeks, and I think you aro not sorry to have had a change.' 'Oh, I have been so happy ! Every thing is so dillerenl from what it is at home. I shall never forget these n'.ea-niit weeks ; such glorious rides with you; and going to church on the Sabbath; and so many pleasant things!' 'My dear, I hope you will enjoy n great many more of our pleasures with us, now that you have learned there is so much brightness in a farm house.' Mrs. Hartwell left Jennie oarinjr for tho flowers iu the window, and went into the kitchen. The next day the young people returned from their journey, but were so tired, ami had so much to tell of the good limes they had enjoyed, that they could uot possibly lot Jennie go that week, and she was quite happy to remain till they ontild spare her. When she went to Dorchester, on her visit, it was for a bridal trip, and George Hartwell rode beside her, having Inlly perpuaded her that a farm house can be as delightful a home as any on earth ; but sho is very pos itive that he would never have per suaded her, had uot his mother given her actual demonstration of the avA. Country Cenllcviun. Tnlilnyr n IsislIKo. An ill-nal ured .fellow quarreled with his sweetheart on the day they were to be married. Alter the cere mony had begun he was asked : 'Do you take this wourin to be your wedded wife," etc. He replied: 'No!' 'What'd your reason?' asked the minister. 'I've taken a dinlike to her and that's enough,' was the surly reply. The parlies retired the bride in tears and, after much persuasion, the groom was induced to have tin marriage proceed. It was now the lady's turn, and when the minister asked the all-important question : 'No !' paid she, resolutely, 'I've taken a dislike to him.' The groom, admiring her spunk, made the matter up with her as soon as posqible, and a third time they presented themselves before the minister, who begun the ceremony by asking the usual questions, which were satisfactorily answered this time. But to the astonishment of the party, his reverence continued: 'Well, I'm glad to hoar that yon are willing to take each other for husband and wife, for it'n a good thing to be of forgiving tempers. You can now go and get married where you will. I'll not lie the knot, for I'vo taken a dHiko to both of you !' Why shouldn't all babies be given the right to choose their names? Girl babies have the privilege after a time; but give a boy a name, aud it hangs to him till death. It ATI'S OF ADVKRTIS1SG. pncv. 1 -'w lio Sm Cm lyr leol'inu i2.Wj 1 JA $ I ?

The trouble is, nono of our young women are willing to become poor men's wives, professedly, even though they may be so iu reality. The girls who marry upon $1,000 a year look forward to a life spent in second-ralo boarding houses, from which she will squeeze out a certain cheap domesticity and some expen sive luxuries. Tho children which heaven may scud are not thought of nor provided tor. It is a question whether the young wife can make herself a dress, or prepare herself a wholesome meal of victuals. Sho marries lor freedom, to havo a good lime, to spend money which she neither earns nor helps to earn for heiven knows what -but certainly not to make a comfortable, if hum ble, home for her husband. In this respect we consider that the British ;irl has an immense advantage over the American. From the high est to tho lowest circles of society in Britain girls aro trained to make good and useful wives, inasmuch as lading preside over the department of their household, aud see that everything is kept clean, and the food is well cooked, so also iu tho lower classes mothers leach their daughters to do the. same for theiu Mflves, without suffering any loss of dignity iu the doing ol it. Many of our American gills will be surprised to learn that the Princess Louiso lYeqtieiiily makes her pa-trv aud makes it uell, loo. On one occasion some apricot tails of her making being praised by a guest, the royal lady wrote out the receipt, with tho words underlined, "If you desiro to have an apricot tart properly cook ed, always make it with an upper eriifil !" The slory has point, and the point is that one can never kuow how to ilo a thing too well. Oue of the greatest hindrances against get ti ig n good wife arisos from tho falso basis upon which society is constructed. The idea that equality is the peculiar birthright of all Americans is crroueous. Where every person thinks he or she is as good as the next there is always the opposite proof of incompetency. A persou is neither better nor worso than another except in the degree of worth which is honestly sought to bo attained. But the disposition of young women of the pruauiit day (and the flame may be said largely of young men, though perhaps not to the Hau e extent) is to think they are as good as anyone else, without taking the trouble to be ho. From this erio.'ipous belief arises main of the evils from which society sutlers. Lincoln Journal: The "hind log" unearthed at West Point, is claimed by scientists to bo (he hind leg of a bird an extinct variety of crane The bone is a foot in diameter. The leg bone of a modern crane of five feel iu height is half an inch thick. If the prehistoric crane was built in the samo proportion, ol which there seems to he no dnuh', he must have been '20 feet high. Such a bird, if he lived in these limes, could staud on O street, roach ovor the govern ment building and quench hid thirst away down iu the artesian well. Tho prehistoric man, gun and dog must of course have been constructed iu proportion. It would have been a magnificent sight In h ive aevn a man 1"0 feet high with a gun of twelve inch bore, and a dog about the nizo of a two-story brick block on legs, stalking along iu gum boots iu search of this noblp game. It would have been thrilling to see that bird dog come to a point, that gun come to a level, a shock like an earthquake follow, and that noble fowl splash around, scattering mud and water iu every direction over a radius of two or three miles. And the happy thought comes, rpvealed by the in spiration of a science that knows no limit, that this gigantic bird may have been only a common jack-snipo of that magnificent period and the man and gun and dog must have been so much more huge that we cannot attempt a description. We anxiously await returns from the next meeting of the Academy of Science. A year or so ago a little boy wag drowned by the falling of a side walk in Omaha, while returning from a sowing machine office with needles. When the body was found the needles were tightly claspod in his hand. A neighboring family, while disctlsiing the accident at the supper table, wore astounded by tho remark of their live-vear-ohl girl, CI wonder, mi, if hp won't give those needles to God to Bew his panta with?'
