A FARMER'S WIFE. . A Story Which All Girl* Should Read. We know a refined, intelligent woman, says as Eastern paper, living •mong the green hills of Vermout, . whose life is tvpical of hundreds in vicinitv, and ficores scattered IJIixouglioiit the Far West. She arises « at 5 o'clock in the morning, chops * "*S|rood, draws water, makes fires, pre- y»re« the meals for fiv«? stalwart "hired men," besides doing the family wash­ ing, ironing, fcrnbbing, churning, pre- '^erviag, pickling, mending, and knit- s fticg. She beheads the chickens, feeds m ^ fhe hens and calves, and is occasionally «a!le<l upon tp accelerate the departure Of pigs to that bourne from whence no jjig ever returns. Her work is never dene. She fries doughnuts at 10 o'clock ftt night, and begins life on pie the next attorning. Her dissipations are prayer- j f&eeting, funrrals, and hucklel»errying, Varied by winter kettledrum; where the *iests sew carpet-rags, refreshed with Sider, forfeits and kisses. Her litera­ ture is limited to Bunyan's "Pil- '* arim's Progress," "Josiah Allen's Wife," and Ztour's Herald. Her mosic ID a fountain filled with blood, dismal sounds from the tomb, and invitations |o anxious-seats. Her pictures to a p prodigal eon, a perpetual Sam- a furious Gain, an amiable Qeorge aahington, Napoleon oa his death­ bed at St. Helena, a weeping willow and widow in a graveyjfed of hair, and a few glistening tintypes of freshly en­ gaged eonples, who with hands clasped, hair oiled, and imitation watch-chains spread out to "show," stare rigidly in­ to a future the counterpart of her own. Her brio-a-brac consists of waxwork, daguerreotypes, plaster dogs with green noses, yellow baskets, and crushed strawberry tails, and a shell-box con­ taining re ward-of-merit cards, the pa­ thetic remembrances of her vanished ehildish years--the only visible recog­ nition of her goodness that the poor lit­ tle woman ever had. Her dress is cal­ ico all the year round--for week days, and black alpaca for Sundays. Her windows are covered with green paper shades, and the parlor floor with the envy and awe of the neighborhood, a tapestry carpet overflowing with red and pink atrocities in yellow horns of plenty. She is a woman after the Rev. Mor­ gan Dix's own heart She stays at home. The glorious pictures of ma­ jestic mountains, the flashing cascades, the leafy woods, the Bplendor of blue 6kies, the soft white clouds, aud sweet- smelling daisy-fields are not few her, except in tantalizing glimpses which only increase the thirst of her thirsting soul. She has no power to receive the sense of power and peace that comes from those stately mountains; no time to revel in the exquisite beauty of those water falls; no time to lie on the grass and watch,the softly-sailing clouds, or trace the truthful symbols and discover the wondrous revelations that Nature gives to those who love and understand her. Yet this woman's husband has made a little fortune of $30,000 from lumber, which is considered something colossal in those region where wants are few and pleasures circumscribed. She has been brought up to believe that he was created a superior be nor. So has he. He is coarse, red-haired, freekled, pious, penurious, and asthmatic. He has had a change of heart and one change of "meetiu' clothes," in which he looks more hideous than he does in his over­ alls. His chief satisfaction is to chew tobacco, talk in clasvmeeting, and to get a bargain. He never owes a penny and never gives one. He can pray, and he thinks he can sing. It takes him thirty njinutes every night and fifteen minutes every morning to tell the Lord of several mistakes in the universe, and to ask a few mild favors. One is to wreak "etarnal" vengeance on the wick­ ed by plunging them into everlasting fire; and another is a request for "pow er to wrastle with the stranger sojarn- ing within his gates,"4tnd notwithstand­ ing her promptly-paid board bills, to bring her to a tense of her own vile nature and hardened heart; created bad in tbe first place, only to be purified and saved by the acceptance of this man's peculiar theological beliefs. Af ter singing, exhorting, and wheezing, he takes to snoring with an equal spirit and energy that makes him audi ble all through the night and the sin­ ner within his gates to lco'v for a new boarding-place next morning. It does not occur to him to use his money to m vke his wife and their lives happier; or that he cm afford to bring a couple of strong servants into the house to per­ form the menial work of himself and his hired man. He means well. This superior being does not knew any bet­ ter. The circumstances of his narrow life and the inheritance of a narrow na­ ture are accountable for his blind ignorance. One day his wife returned from the village, after selling 90 cents' worth of eggs, produced by her own hens. She timidly asked if she could keep the pro­ ceeds. He generously handed her fifteen cents and pocketed the rest, with the grumble, "Wimmin folks is allers spendin'." He did not .realize the meanness of the act, but when he saw it a line from Tennyson seemed to spring suddenly into the air and en- wreathe him in living words that 6aid "half his little soul is dirt." But he does not know that, and never will--in this life. He cannot read the pitiful story stamped upon his wife's care-worn face, with its habitual expression of un­ conscious self-abnegation and ' meek resipnition. They never have any pleasant walks, talks, jokes, read any books, or have friendly companionship together. He never gives her ice-cream, anniversary presents, unexpected praise, flowers, or kisses. When she dies she my have a flower in her coffin, which will look strangely out of place, as none ever came into her married life. Twice she made feeble attempts to bring some cheerfulness into their home. She worked her husband a pair of slippers for Christmas and placed a bunch of snow-drops on the table at Easter. He gruffly told her to "take 'em away, and not inkeridge the scarlet woman by bringin' sich pop­ ish notions into the house." The country fences, barns, taverns, reeks, and landscape were once ablaze with flaming posters announcing the coming of a traveling circus and menagerie. She gazed on those pictured wonders; on the monkey parodies, pathetic camels, repulsive serpents, leaping tigers, flying figures, complacent fat woman, bushy-haired frauds, dissatisfied Aminos, pompous dwarfs, sunshiny giants, the sacred cow of Burmah, and the Behemoth of Scripture. Her very soul ached with an intense longing to behold these Ori­ ental animals from far-away tropical countries, from "Africa's burning sand," of which she had read in the Bible and in "Little Henry and His Bearer." Was it possible that those huge, ungainly elephants could stand on their heads, planks, and barrels, play tunes on hand- organs, aud do other undreamed-of things, perfectly unnatural and un­ pleasant to on elephant? Was it true that horses waltzed and dogs hung each other? That a woman could be shot from a cannon, nnd a tatooed man walk sliiveriugly about clad only in his cash­ mere skin, and gauzy beings fly through hoops of fire over the backs of horses that had to make up their minds to stand it? It was wonderful, a fairy tale, a myth, perhaps. Every thing M as reversed, the toes of the riders, the clowns in the ring, the ideas and trunks of the elephants. Seeing was l>elieviug, and she wanted, oh, how she waited to go! It would be Hie one great pleasure, the one great ej>och of her dreary life. Only those who have Iwen forced to re­ main in the unvarying routine of hard work, care, and unending monotony, can appreciate the happiness it would lie, could (his down-trodden little Yan­ kee' woman go to the circus. She read on the brilliant posters that "people, press, and pulpit commended thi§ great moral show, unparalleled in grandure and magnificence, and that nothing was said, seen, or done that could oifend the most moral and fastidious person." To be sure the Zion'ss Herald had not advertised it, and she had not yet heard it indor-ed by their own minister from his pulpit. But one minister dif- feretn from another minister is opinions. and, even if one attended the circus, surely she could. She had no moneys and was afraid to ask for any, or td broach the subject to her husband, fear­ ing his opposition. She remained awr.kn at night, wondering if she was a wicked, designing woman for not mentioning her desire, and where she could obtain means to accomplish it. This was the first time she ever plotted. The first time she ever dared to strike out for herself. It showed hoW kean was the yearniug for a little brightness to come into her cold and cheerless" life. She knew it was useless to ask for airv of the egg. bntter, cheese, or milk money that she had earned. She arose two, hours earlier the next morning, did much of the housework, and while her husband was drinking molasses and water in the hav-field she slipped away on a pretext and winged feet; and, un­ der the burning August sun, with hands trembling and heart beating with hope and excitement, she picked five quarts of berries that were sold at the hotel in S . The next day with thb coveted money held tightly in her ungloved hand, she hurriedly climbed into the wagon of a neighbor who had called by request to carry her with his wife and children to the circus, and joyful at the unusual holiday. How her heart beat, how her limbs shook! Once off an ! ont of view of the havfield, she would breathe freer. One taste of pleasure, aud it was hers forever, no matter what happened afterward. They turned the corner and a man appeared on the dusty road. It was her husband, sent there by one of those malicious chances that sometimes "thwart the wills of meii'" and of women. He stopped them. Ex­ planations followed. "It is my money. I didn't take it from the house; I earned it yesterday," she faltered, holding up her toil-worn, thorn- scratched hands. It wa? her only ap peal, and it fell mute upon her quiver­ ing lips as he sternly ordered her "get down." She ought not to have got down, and we are sorry to say that she did. But she is meek and good, and she "obeyed," with her eyes and lieart full of tears. He walked unrelentingly by her side to the house. He took her hardly won bits of silver. He said they should go into the contribution-bos next Sunday to atone for the heinous sin she had committed in wishing to en­ ter unholy places. He entered the closed sanctuary of his parlor. He removed the tobacco quid from his mouth and placed it upon the mantle. Then he prayed. Kneeling in the center of the floor, on the biggest, yellowest, most unfaded "horn of plenty" that be­ sprinkled the carpet, he asked the Lord, in nasal tones, to chasten the worldly spirit of his wife, to withhold her from the snares of temptation, baited by the devil, and to keep her from the flesh-pots of Egypt and Ver mont. She never eomplnins. She suf­ fers vngnely, not fully comprehending the servile position she holds in liev husband's house. Wo are glad slu' does not. In her case it would make no difference if "she did understand it This is only one woman left out of thousands, under varying conditions and circumstances, to be sure, but true just the same. Yet there are unthink ing men and woman who say that "ju« tice Bfld equality are not good for women; they have all the privileges that are necessary." The First Casting. Cast iron was not in commercial use before tho year 1700, when Abraham Darby, an intelligent mechanic, who had wrought some Dutch workmen to establish a brass foundry at Bristol conceived the idea that iron might be substituted for brass. This his work men did not succeed in effecting, being probably to much prejudiced in favor of the metal with which they were best acquainted. A Welsh shepherd l»oy named John Thomas had, some time previous to this, been received by Abra ham Darby into his workshop on rec­ ommendation of a distant relative While looking on during the experi ments of the Dutch workmen, he said to Abraham Darby that he thought he 6aw where they# had missed it. He beg ged to be allowed to try. So he and Abraham Darby remained in the work shop all night, struggling with the re fraetory metal and imperfect molds, The hours passed on, and daylight ap peared; but neither would leave his task, and, just as morning dawned, they succeeded in casting an iron pot com plete. The boy entered iuto an agree ment with Abraham Darby to serve him, and keep the secret He was en ticed by the offer of double wages to leave his master, but he continued faithful; and, from 1700 to 1828, the family of Thomas were confidential and much valued agents to the descendants of Abraham Darby. For more than one hundred years after the night in which Thomas and his master succeed ed in making an iron casting in a mold of fine sand Contained in frames and with air holes,' the same process was practiced, and kept secret at Colebrook Dale, with plugged key-holes and bar­ red tloors.--English Paper. The Original Compass. Ye lodestone on ye little chippe Doth serve to guide ye mighty shlppe By ever pointing to ye pole; Tims conscience serves to cuide th' soul. "Is it true that the original ship's compass was made of lodes tone?" was asked of a dealer in compasses and chronometers. "Yes. Magnetic iron ore on a bit of wood floating in a basin of water is said to have been the original compass. There are old sailors living now who can remember when the needle was at­ tached to a piece of wood floating in a bowl. The first attempt at improve­ ment was to attach the needle to a card on which the thirty-two points of the compass were marked. The card was balanced at its center on a hardened steel point or pivot, the cap that rested on the point beiBg made of agate, gar­ net or sapphire, to reduce friction. The pivot was ere«ted from the center of Hie bottom of a bowl that was suspended in what are called gimbals, an arrange­ ment of rings and pivots which kept the top of the bowl, and therefore the com­ pass card, always horizontal, whatever the ship's position. The great poiut at which the manufacturer hoped to ar­ rive was such an arrangement of the various parts of the compass as would leave the needle in its position undis­ turbed when the ship swung around. The most perfect construction of the pivot and its cap was found faulty in that the point eventually wore down a collar, so that the card moved with the ship. The Selfish Way of Loeking st 1 kings.

Horace Greeley's personal appear­ ance was always a subject of remark from his boyhood. Rollins C. Mallary, a member of Congress from Vermont, who was an able ehampion of the American system, used to narrate a visit of his to the print'ng office of a ountry newspaper at Poultney, Vt., his place of residence. His attention was attracted to a young compositor, who was rather awkwardly "sticking types," and who, though full grown, was evidently the youngest apprentice in the office. His legs ran a good deal more than "a feet" through his pantaloons, the sleeves of his coat scarcely reached l>elow his elbows, his hair was very white and flaxen, and he was, on the whole, in the aggregate, taken separately and together, the greenest looking specimen of humanity we ever looked at, and this is saying a good deal, for "we keep a looking glass." "That boy," said Mr. Mallary, "will mako a remarkable man; I can't hold an argument with him on Masonry or anything else connected with pol­ itics." As Mr. M. was considered one of the ablest men in Congress, his re­ mark caused us some surprise; and %re not only "made a note of it," but took another look at the "devil" (printer's me mean), and could not but trace in the expansive forehead "a mind formed in nature's finest mold and WTonght for immortality." It was years after­ ward that we became aware of the fact that that, boy was Horace Greeley.-- Ben: Per ley Poore's Reviiniseericeis. Rough OH the Insects.

Well, I know what will cure that, too--some chloral will put you to sleep." "I've got a better plan than that." "What is it?" "Give the chloral to the insects in your beds.

Before I had used five bat- ties i was well and at work, as hird as any £'• man could, for over three weeks; but I worked •. too hard for my strength, and, taking a hard cold, I was taken with the most acute and painful rheumatism all through my system that was ever known. I called the doctors again, and after several weeks they left me a cripple on crutches for life, as they said. I met a friend and told him my case, and : he said Hop Bitters had cured him and < would cure me. I poohed at him, but he ^ was 60 earnest I was induced to use them < again. In less than four weeks I threw away my crutches and went to work lightly, ' and kept on using the bitters for five weeks, until I became as well as any man living, % and have, been so for six years since. It also cured my wife, who had been so for years; and has kept her and my children well and hearty with from two to three bottles per year. There is no need to be sick at all if these bitters are used. J. J. BBBK, Ex-Supervisor. ' ^ 3 *7 I "That poor invalid wifel. "Bister! .' "' . "Mother! "Or Daughter*.
