But when bIio left tho wood, dazzled by tliat great af ternoon sun of June, she had said "Yes." .01.1 Schwandliofer was ono of the wealthiest farmers iu tho canton. II? had onca been straight and strong as tho tower of hia farm. Only tho weight of his seventy years liad been ablo to bend him, but ho hail been humbled by their power; he could not walk without the elpofa cane and hi) hands trembled; it will clone remained solid, and direct ed everything in tho house, llin wife was his worthy companion. She had boon twenty, ho forty year3 of ago whn they were married. IIo had cared well for her, had brought her u; from a child and loved her aa u woman. Now, it was she that was really tho man. and lie tho cliil. 1. It had taken the o! I farmer a very Ipng time to under stand that the will of his wiTo had lx o!U3 strong by comparison with l;is own; that she lial learned both to think and to act as lie did! l'eoplo said ihst they owned a good dal of money. Some even said tluit money owned them. Ln viou'i people, of couk such U3 cxLt in ail parts of tlio world. Tho old couple had never dono liann to a:iy one; but t!icy ha! no heart; none of (hat heart which doe3 co rauc!i gool in t!ie world, and to much evil likewise.

So old Schwandliofer used to tar. ISjt cne d3j tlio village ina-isirato aaid tolnm: "nori is 21; and wUj aoch a franio a bo has, titer 'U sa be wanting to make a cuirasuer out of liim.

And tWa was tho state of affairs on that day when Ilori camo bitck from tho woolts. Ho opened tho door, and entered tho house with a proud gait; ho felt that ho had become a man. lie wanted to speak to tho old man at once; and ho did not feel afraid to do it. ' Tho old couplo aro Beatod in their best room their council chamber tho apart ment from which all orders aro isaued. IIo is reclining in cn easy chair with a ctiihion behind Ids head; she sits upon tho etovo tench. Kho i3 a singidar woman. When h 6pca!u, she remains silent end wait3 until ho has finished be fore giving her own opinion. It often liappens their opinions aro as opposite na a "yes" i3 to a "no"; in such cases she always makes tho first small advance; then ho makes a little advance upon liis side; tiioy nro not yet wholly iu accord; they consider and reconsider on every side, and continuo to discuss it until they arrive at List at tliat unanimity of opinion which good 6pouso3 should nlways enter tain. If they caanot come to any agree; ment by bedtiuio, they retire; an I nest day everything is arranged nr tho most desirablo way. For thirty years they have lived thus! Flori enters tho roorw Until that Jay although ho liad nlways been allowed to bo present at tho family councils, ho had no voico in them; he r.at always muto near the great clock. IIo does not sit thero to-day, but sits at tho table, and leans upon it with folded arms. The old man looks at him, shakes liis head n little, and asks him a few unim portant questions; Flori observes: "It must lie so arranged." Tho old man turns his head, half closes lik eyes; as.if he felt slyepyi mid answers; What is that you say, flori?" "I say tliat if tho farm i3 put ia my name, I can't live all alone." "What do you mean?" "I mean I want to get married." "Indeed!" exclaims tho mother in an icy tone. "I know a frjrl,.' continues tho young man; "I don't want to waste any time over tho matter; I will bo married in lif tccn days from now," Tho old man drams upon the table with clifTcned fingers. At last he asks: "Jlay we be permitted to kaow who you are going to marry?" "Brona Brona Stegbrunn." "Indeed!" cxclaimi tho old man in his turn. And then, as hp says nothing more, tho youth proceeds to explain the various' 'reasons why ho wants to get married; and ho finds so many tliat. ho does not need to give the true and only real reason. Tlio mother shakes her head, aa if to drive away a fly; tho father is absolutely petrliied. He only opens liis mouth to say to hia son. just as tho latter is on the point of leaving the room: "Wait a littlo while; wo cannot a.-eo." Then ho rises, lexis upon tho table, and proceeds to speak: "My dear Flori, you liavo licen wast ing your word3 on air try to recall them. A3 for in?. I have heard nothing: I do not want to hear anytlling of that sort from you! If you 'want to marry, you know to whom it is your lirfit duly to' adilresa. -yourself.

"I'll write it for you, if you wuut," said Flori. - I i-Vcry well, writoit! Writo that I withdraw my petition, and proposo to re main the master of my own house! Write that I tun pleased to have my son become a good f oldier. Writo it why don't you write?" "It makes no difference," oliservod tho officer; "without your signatures tho council can't do anything "in regurd to tho. petition." "Very well, then; you can go." "Glad to find you so much improved, Farmer Schwaudhofer," said tho official, as ho left tho room. - Flori was pale n death: tho veins in his -temples throbbed; ho clenched and lifted his hands as if to strike. But ho let them fail again almost instantly, anil said: "I havo no need of you! Jlay God grant t!l:t" yoinievcr- feel tho-iiced of me!"
