And the rosebud whispered, She's sweet, For in kisses her lips I meet, And my fragrance the deeper grows From the rose on her lips that glows.' And the sky said, ' I know she is true, For I gaze in her eyes so blue, When she lifts them to me in prayer, And all heaven is mirrored there.' - . i . And my heart my heart said to me, 'All that wind, sky and rosebud see, Fairness, fragrance and truth are thine,' For I lore her and she is mine, i GEORGE CLEMENTS' WIFE; : 'Of all things this is the worst f If ever in my life I expected to hear such news! Why, our George b.aa gone and got married'! . D'ye bear?'' v L K Good Aim. C t omenta pu&hed ber stol bowed spectacles off her bright eyes, and dropped her letter in her lap, as she turned round to her husband, the stout, clever old farmer, who was con- tentedly stroking an old white cat Deacon, d'ye hear? ' This time when she.. asked the ques tion thero was a touch of sadness in her voice. - ' i " ' ' Yes; what if he is married? I'm sure it's natural enough. It kinder o' inns in the family, 'pears to me.' i ! But Mrs. Clements would take no no tice of the little pleasantry, i " Well, if you like it I can tell you I don't. He needn't think he's coming here with his fine city-bred lady, all airs and graces, and flounces and ruffles. There's plenty ;of good girls hereabout that wanted him. Right in the middle of the work, too! To talk of bringing a lady here hog-killin' time! I do declare I think George is a fool.' . A graceful, dainty little lady, in a gar net poplin and ruffled apron, with a small, proudly-poised head,oovered with short, dusky curls, having a pair of dark blue eyes, so wistful and tender, a tiny rosebud of a mouth, and a dimple in each pink cheek. ' i That was Mrs. Marion Clements. Was it any wonder that George had fallen in love with her? j She sat in the bright little parlor, close beside the lace-curtained window, watching for the loved husband's return! and then, when she heard the click of the latch-key in the hall flew, for the welcome kiss. Looking up, she ask oft Haven't you the letter this time, George? I've felt sure of it all day.- Indeed, J've quite decided what dresses to take with 'me.' ; I He smiled and shook .his head. A cloud passed over her pretty face. T ! Oh, George! isn't it too bad? And I do believe they won't write because they are sorry you married me.' ; He put his arms around her neck, j, 1 And supposing such to be the case, do you hink it would make any differ ence with me?' ' ! Ob, no, no! only it would grieve me so if I knew I had alienated your own parents from you.' ! 'And a one-sided alienation it would be too! i They have never seen you. And when they know you they can't help loving you. Oh, Georgel' The exclamation was caused by the kiss accompanying his own flattery. I That's true as preaching. JBy-the-by, my dear, what would you say if the firm sent me off on a traveling tour of six weeks?' A little dismayed cry answered him. You won't stay here alone, eh? But, Marion,' it would: be fire hundred dol lars clear gain to us.' - I What need we care for money! I'd rather have you '' - ! ! A mischievous smile played over the young man's lips; he was more matter-of-fact than this romantic, tender little wife of his. ,, f" I think the Addition to our balance at the banker's would be very consoling for, the .absence.' : But nevpr, xnind,little pet Lai's go down to dinner, jl hope we'll get a letter from home soon.'

'Spoken like my true little Marion. and when I come back I'll bring you a present. What shall it be, dearest? Xour father and mother from the farm. It shall be that hope that will bear me company when you are gone.' A fortnight after that, Marion Clem ents ate her breakfast alone, the traces of a tear or so on her pink cheeks; then she dashed them away . with a merry, joyous little laugh. This will never do; and now, that ueorge nas gone for six weeks, to pre- pare for his return. And I Drav Heaven it shall be such a coming as shall delight his soul.' ' I'm sure I don't know what to say. The land knows I need help bad enough; but it pears to me such a slender little midget as you can't earn your salt. What did you say your name was?' .P'Matw HmitVi. Ami indfAd if wnn JLUO tfXAA UiO DCOOUU O V T Cli Mrs. Clements looked out of the win - dow at the great clouds that were piling gloomily up; and then the wind gave a great wailing shriek around the corners of the house. " :. You can cook, ken yon? or shake up feather beds good big ones, forty pounders f ' A gleeful little laugh came from Ma ry's lips. Indeed I can. I may not cook to suit you, but I can learn.' Mrs. Clements walked out to the huge Open fireplace in the kitchen where the deacon was shelling corn. What d'ye say, deacon; keep her or not? I kind o like her looks, and the dear knows it 'ud be a good lift while we're killin', if she couldn't do more than set the table or make mush for the bread.' " : : 'Take her, of course, Hannah. You are hard driv', I know. Let her stop a week or so, anyhow.' - So Mrs. Clements' came' slowly back and sat down agaiui. You can t get away to-night, anyhow there's a snowstorm been brewin' these three days, and it's on as now, sure enough. See them 'ere flakes fine and thick. : You may as well take your things up-stairB to the west garret, and then come down and help me get supper.' Then followed the directions to the west,' garret, and when ' she was gone Mrs. Clements turned to the deacon, and said,- - I never saw a girl before I d trust up stairs alone. But , such ) as her don t steal; I can tell you that, if nothing else. ' Directly she came down in a purpie print dress and white apron; her. hair brushed up from her face into a net; a narrow linen collar, fastened with a sail or's loop of narrow ribbon. It seemed as' if she h ad - life. - too. so handily ho flitted in and out of the pantry ,and then down the cellar. Then after the meal she gathered the dishes in a neat, quiet way, that was perfect bliss to? old Mrs. Clements' ears. - - ? She's determmed to earn her bread, anyhow, and I like her turn, too And the deacon nan 'la-en a Bnine, tno. Ona bv one tne days swore on; tne hog-killing was oyer and done; long strings of sausages hung m fantastic rings, arranged by Mary's deft fingers; sweet hams and snouiaers were puea avftv in true housewifely manner, and now Mary and Mrs. Clements were ' sit ting in the sunny ainmg-room, uaxnmg, patching and mending. !f " if- 1 don t know wnai x m going to uo without you, Mary.

This vear the war upon them has been waged vicnronalv- and a bill was to be cresent- I ed to the State legislature for the aboli- nn nf fhft flommnnitv. which so exer- cised the members of the society that they feared conflict with the authorities, and have accordingly given up the prao tice so much complained of and adopted the following platform as setting forth their position: l 1 To give up the practice of complex marriage, not as renouncing belief in the principles and prospective finality of that institution, out m deference to tne public sentiment evidently arising against it To place themselves as a community, not on the platform of the Shakers on the one hand, nor on that of the world on the other, but on Paul's platform, V1a allAninn tnomavA AM ft is. i,nn,on aWioaa nrAffiTs celibacy as the hoUer and more perfect t I state. To continue to hold their business and property in common; to continue td five together and to ' eat at the same table; to retain the common department for infants and juveniles, and to mam- tain the practice of regular evening meetings for mutual criticism. Aside from this complex marriage the members of the Community are nekl m high esteem by their neighbors, being honest and wortny peopie. xney nave been1 remarkably successful in tneir farming operations, and have grown rich by their industry. There are one or two branch associations in Connecti cut, which will probably follow in the footsteps of the parent house. Much rejoicing is felt among the people in that vicinity at the sensible action ,of the Community in thus conforming to the laws of the land. Curiosities of Farm Life Mr. BarhetJ.

Murphy is one of the' best, 'if not; the best jockey on the American turf to-day, and he is no doubt fully: the equal of J y Umq M VUVaj Vf UV JM. UIW DUCSDVUOi SSffT.T led theHst ThTfed.!ttrnby riding in the Travers Stakes" race, and ; rii. ml. ai -.." 9 in the Xenner Stakes race, were the two finest exhibitions of skill in the saddle that have been seen in 'this country in many years. Marpby has a steady nana, a quick eye, a cool head, and a bold heart---four qualifications absolute ly necessary to the success of I every jockey. That he is very observant dur ing the progress of a race, and is (quick to perceive the weak points of an adver- sary and prompt! to take advantage of them, was signally illustrated in the run tor . the Travers stakes. Asked - soon after the race why he went up to Harold and Jericho at the half mile, only to fall away again, he replied: 'Well, I did not care for Jericho, but, while I thought opendtariit was the dangerous norsa, 1 wanted to go up to Harold to see how he felt; so I tapped Palsetto with the spur one time, went up to them, felt of Harold, found him sprawling over the course, ana saw ne was out 01 tne race, and I fell back to keep Teakesfrom thinking I WSS at aU dangerousl' He has en asked how he happened to 'get I , IT Er . c between Harold and the pole on the turn. 'I didn't intend to go up on the turn,' was his reply; 'but when we start ed toward the stretch Harold was tired and unsteady, and he leaned away from the pole and gave me room to go in. I thought: it better to run for the position than to have to run round himj , so I jumped at the chance and went Up be tween him and the rail. I steadied my horse here a moment to compel Harold to cover more ground on the turn, and beat him good, for. he was very ) tired, and just before we' got to the stretch I left him and went off after Spendthrift' No explanation could ' be better than that'. Murphy has already had thirl y i even mounts this year, and has; won twenty five, besides riding a dead heat, -and thiais.a much better average than y yn-iiu jooaey can e ow.

Y.. who died in December, 1877, was one. by William H. promissory note for Andrews., on a 8439 60. The note was written in ink on a piece of common writing paper and was signed with a pencil. J. T. Marean, the. counsel for the estate, examined the paper carefully and discovered that the lines on the surface of the paper were indistinct, as if rubber had been used on them, and that on the reverse of the paper there were raised lines ;suoh as would have been! formed if the; face of the paper, had been written on with a pencil. .

N. Y met with distress- ing accident yesterday. She was splitting wood with which to kindle a fire. She struck a stick with the axe, and partly opened it, when she attempted to pull it apart with' her hands. The !j axe fell out and the stick closed against her right hand. She raised the axe in the other hand to use as a wedge for the release of theimprisoned member, but by some -,;V,nn itia era fall lnfllrtfinff fttl TlfflV mishap the axe fell, inflicting an ugly wound upon the fleshy part of the hand and . severing one of her finger, leaving the hand still fast in the stick. With all possible speed she ran a long dis tance to,the nearest neighbor for relief.! The loss of blood, however, greatly ex-j' hausted her, and she now lies !danger-j onsly ill. Her hand is much bruisedj aside from the severe injuiies innicxea with the axe. Her mends fear she will die certain advance symptoms of look jaw having appeared. i; -' r ' , . , . j . 1 Preaching for Money.
