To the city Farmer Chitty, Plain but.gritty, Came one day, And he wandered, And he pondered, On-his way. Thus while gazing At amazing Sights, and praising All he saw: He was taken By mistaken Mr. Shaw.. Who to right it, And requite it, Him invited To a smile ; And the farmer To the former - Grew a warmer Friend the while. Soon elated, And Inflated, Chitty waited For the deal : When some aces Showed their faces Two hard cases Made him squeal. In the city Stood the gjtty :Farmer Cbitty Uursing all, Not a penny Of the many Had he any More to call. Home returning Through theburning Sand: and learning Pow to tvamip How to iramp, Spouse she took And she shook him, Grit forsook him, And she wouldn't be lieve a blamed word he said in explanation. -Texas $iftings. tltdt 1 t. .Ii ts Mr, Martin had Just come in to tea. It was one of those sultry summer evenings when the leaves hang stirlessly on the trees, -and the dull electric fires blaze along the east, foreboders.of storm. It had been very hot all the day, the farm-hands had lagged at their work on the lowland meadow, and all the world's wheels seemed to re volve as if they were weighted. Mr. Miartin was very tired, and, Withal, a little cross. Perhaps Mrs. Martin was ired, too. She, poor soul, had been tip since four o'clock in the mngpnipg. She had ygghed, takeit wae gf fo#P c9w'g rnik, prepared three meals t'or the hungry farm hands, been up it. the quarry woods to search t'or a family of adventurous young turkey-chicks, soothed the.sorrows of a teething baby, and mended up the suit of clothes which Metsey' Blim, the tailoress, had declared not worth a needleful 6'*thread!I be cause Thomas her husband, had said that 'willful waste was wofol want,' and that there -was a deal'of wear in the suit yet, f ouilgtherk was a stitch taken Aere and there. ut her cheek was pinkad her aklng when Thomas eame seviuess in her heart 'n n her back, for little hdcome from boards Esther, sse f all, the daril the-family circle from which Mrs. Martin came-the pet for whom they all had scraped' and pinched so that she, at least, might have a Boston education.' And Esther sat in 1be window seat, grown into.a blooiihing young woman, with bronze-bown hair ly ing in fluffy masse ov'er her fair forehead, porcelain-blue eyes, and a dress all trimmed with ribbon hows. 'Look, Thomas!l' e Ied Mrs. Mar. tin, excitedly: .*1Vs' Essle!l come home two day before e pected her! l'~ 'Yes, I see,' said as~~1 the. cold t"~ethe ways dmee.Tsther asm like sonA'- .ts and wa water.

We must economize in little things as well as large ones, if we don't want to end our days in the poor-house.' And Mrs. Martin sorrowfully obeyed, while Esther watched her brother-in-law with large, grave eyes, betokening inward surprise. At the end of a week, Mr. Mar tin addressed his sister-in-law with serious purposes. 'Well Esther,' said he, 'you've been here a week now.' 'A week is a good long visit,' re marked Mr. Martin. 'It's long enough for some things' said Essie. 'Mrs. Martin thinks she would like to have you stay,' went on Mr. Martin, after a puzzled glance at the blue, shining eyes. 'And al though, of course, every one adds to the expense in a family like this, I've no objections to giving you a home, provided you are willing to earn it by hard work. And-' 'Stop caried Essie, jumping up, 'I haven't asked you for a home yet. And I don't mean to. And you are only making me the offer because Doctor Dorlan says Ruth will break down unless she has a strong maid-servant to help her with the house-wovk. But there is no money that would hire me to make myself such a drudge as poor Ruth is.' Hoity-toity!' said Mr. Martin, 'Young woman, you don't consider who yoti are talking to.' 'Yes, I do,' said Essie, with em phasis. 'To 4 PIuebear4, to a stock, a stone, a man who is grind ing his wife's life out on the piti less wheel of money-making. No, I wouldn't live as Ruth does, not if you would put me in a palace !' Mr. Martin grew green and saff ron by turns. 'Humph !' said he. 'Fine ideas you got- at this fashionable board ing school of yours, Well, if you 4n't like my oher, ou're not ob. liged to accept it. Be a fine lady, if'you please, and.see where it will land you.' By way of answer, Essie marched out of the room with all the dignity of a royal princess. She only stopped in the kitchen long enough to kiss Ruth, who was in the midst of a baking.s 'Poor darling,' said she, 'Itow I wish I could carry you off with me. For stay, I won't !' 'Life is hard work, Essie,' said Mrs. Martin, 'beginning to cry, in spite of heself; 'and it's a woman's duty to help her husband.' : 'And I mean to help mae-when I have one,' said Essie, blushing brightly, 'But not by wearing my. self out.' Mr. Martin shook his head. ,If Stephen Smith is foolish enough to marry that saucy gipsy, she'll. lead him a pretty life,' said he. 'I wonder if -she expects to sit on a satin sofa all.her days with a rose in her hand, and her hair frizzled, in that preposterous fash ion, all over, her eyes ?' But I warn 'em, they need never come .tg me for help!i Esther has treated meo wi$h $g9' mnch insolence for me eyer to receive her again, 'I am sure she di i not mean any thing,' said Mrs. Martin, apologet "ell, then, her words belied her meaning,' remarked Thomas Mar tin, grimly compressing his lips. But Stepheu*Smith was apparent ly undawated -by the possibilities of ruin predicted by Farmer Martin, for he married Esther and went to the city to live, within three months. 'I gaye 'em just a year to comne beek hereigd:eat hwnble pie !'said Martin, vindicvely - Tlb oms; nt talk so!' said ise wiff. 'Oue would tnkyo would' be glads tohave some evil befall thend' 'Ad so Ishould,' said vicouesly grinding his gther. 'hat girl needs a lot hnmbling, and I hope she'l/ it.'

L. RED CLOVER SEED-per lb' doing well in Boston. And, after all, Esther's my own sister.' Mr. Martin's features contracted into a hideous grimace. Of all the bitter cups which circumstances had held to his lips of late this was the bitterest. Buj it had to be swallowed, There was no help for it. 'I didn't suppose Smith's folks lived as genteel as this,' said he to himself as a neat maid led him across an octagonal vestibule, floor ed with black and red marble, and fragrant with flowers, under the golden fringe of an antique por tiere, into a large, tastefully-fur nished room, where the singing birds, the open piano, the low satin sofa all betokened no lack of money. Yes-Mr. Smith was at .efuge He had not yet gone to the sloors. and presently he came in, wavig u welcomes to the man who had math ried Essie's sister. . 'Lend yon a thousand dollars said he. 'Of course we can lend you a thousand dollars. What is money fol if not to help each other with. Oh, yes. We've a snug lit tle sum laid up in the bank, aud we live very comfortably. My ness ? Yes, it's tolerable, bu never got us all these things glancing at the soft arabesques of, the carpet, the graceful folds of the crimson silk curtains, and the ease; filled with proof engravings. 'That is my wife's doing, s ?' said Mr. Martin, staring around him. 'Yes,' said Smith, with a certain, quiet satisfaction. 'Essie is an ar tist, you know-a designer. She invents patterns for the paper han gers and upholsterers. They are glad to pay her ffty dollars a week.' "Fifty dollars is, I mean-than poor Ituth made by all her poultry for a year. "Well, I never in all his life he had never respected Essie as he respected her now." 'She has money laid up,' said Stephen Smith, 'And if she's the girl I think she is,'she won't grudge it to help her sister's hus band in a pinch. Gall and bitterness-gall and bitterness ! But, thought poor Mar tin with. a sign,.how was Stephen to know all that was come and gone ? Essie's light step, on the passage way, sounded at this instant; and she came in, dressed in a pictures que brown linen blouse; her hair still shading her forehead. like a fringe of floss silk, after the old, graceful fashion. 'Yes,' she said brightly, when her brother-in-law's errand was stated to her; 'Of course you shalhliave it. I owe you as much as that, I think' Thomas, were it only to ease from your memory that last scene of our parting. How defiant and insolent it was, to-be-sure!l' and she laugh ed the sweetest of mellow laughter. 'But I insist upon it tiill, that my theory was correct; a woman can work, without becoming a drudge.' 'Perhaps she can;' alowly and unwillingly admitted Thomas Mar tin-'perhaps she can-! But it didn't use to be so, in my mother's days And he sighed to think of poor Ruth, broken down in the meridian of her days, by the and necessities that drive the wife of an Amerncan farmer to her doom, Was it-his own fault ? Perhaps it was. Essie's thousand loan was straw which saved him from fiY, L tive drowning.

The laws of the state are respected, and even that part of the national staitnte which does not prescribe restraint on the eccentrici ties of perspi liberty, nor make suggestions concerning the occupa tion a man shall follow, is regarded by the natives as, not "all right," but as something "that'll sorter do," - tives of these sections regard nphasis ' as the common right of in hi the law which forbids a re- enactment intended in saw ,eople, consequently, nas S.
