Marshal Tom Allison told hid friends ul'a

Friday afternoon. Vance reviewed his
whole life to his lifelong friend, lie said
he had been thinking of resigning in
order to thus best seive the interests of
the slate, but on the other hand thought
perhaps God was going to spare his life
long enough to allow him to get in the
breach and lead the people through ouc
mole political crisis. He cared not which
it was to be so the Vest for the stale was
done. Ho said his hands were clean. He
felt bad beciiuji he had never laid up any
money nor tiied to, for he had nulhitig
to leave his children. They would have
to work for a bare living as he had. V et
he cared not for money for its own sake.
He said when he thought of the people's
great love for him, extending over a life
time, he forgot all little auiinositics and
unjust criticism and impugning of hi.

said Mr. Allison, and to some, to ', who

of indignation here is iudescribable fur
its intensity. "Come baek and see me
tomorrow, Turn," said the senator at last,
aud Tom went, but the tired spirit had
uuk iuto uueonseiousuess and had bidden
its lust farewell.

and she got a button and sewed it on.

"Oh!" said tho man, fixing his eyes
on the picture of his dear wife, "her
gentle words almost broke my heart. I
oould have gone duwn on my knees to
ask her forgiveness. Slioiuadca differ
ent man of me, and tho world has been
a different place since she died."
There was a silence as he finished
speaking, interrupted by a general clear
iog of the throats, and a confused
snuffling as if we all had bad colds, and
the little woman s snapping eyes looked
It was a worn-out, fragile little body,
restless and fever burned, and so tiled,
ton, wailing, patiently waiting, for the
long, lonely day to come to a close, A
stray sunbeam came glimmering through
the lattice at the window aud lingered
eanssingly on the curly brown head
tossing from side to side Iu a vain search
fur a cool spot on (he hard pillow. The
great blue eyes ripened wearily, search
ingly, and a voice murmured:
"Oh! John, why dnu't you come, why
don'l you entile'.' I am so thirsty, and
tired, too, ami the day seems so long
without yon, Johu so long."
Then her fever dulled ear caught the
sound ol coming footsteps out
side, aud she half sprang up as a great
handsome, manly fellow entered the door
and caught her in his arms.
"I knew you would eoine, dohn," she
whispered when the tangled brown curls
had been pillowed on his breast and he
was awkwardly stroking them with his
big, brown baud. "I am so tired, and
thirsty, too," she went on, "and the day
has been so long without you, John; but
I knew you would come."
"It looks so hard to leave you here,
little wife," he ventured, "but it can't be
helped, Mully, it can't be helped; fur
hive tried so bard to make things right
again, but work seems so hard to get,
and fate seems against us, anyway."
Then he kissed the little eager face
uplifted lo his and gently pi iced the wee
I'urm back in its old place on the hard
bed.
"By the way, Molly, you had auoth.r
letter from your mother to day." As I e
said tins a clouded, pain! ill expression
unconsciously crept into his face as he
quickened his weary pace over the bare
floor. The brown head half arose from
the pillow and an eager, anxious ring was
in the weak voice which pleaded, "Ob!
John, what do they say now? Do they
say lor us to to eotne honic? Are
they augry with us yet, John?''
' No, little wile, it is tho same old story.
They are still begging you to forsake me,
to forget me, and go Lack to them. Hut
say as long ;.s you keep that scoundrel of
a husband around you that you may risk
the conseipieuees. Are you guiug to du
it, Molly? Aie you going back to thctu?"
he ipiestiuned, as he ceased his pace and
flashed his tender dark eyes lull upon
the pale, pinched I'aeo on the bed before
him. She did nut speak, but put out one
little white, wasted hand tu him, and in
the fathomless blue eyes which looked
up at him ihroULdi their si'.ky lashes' he
read his answer.
Another weary night had conic to a
close at last, and again the suu peeped up
and crept in at the little window. Again
John kissed his little wife and went out
to his day's work. A big smile stole
over his dark fa.v as he touched some
thing in his breast eoat pocket and liiur
mired: "Oh! little one, what a nice
surprise 1 have here lor you; what a
change it will bring over you, little wife,"
he continued. "How light your heart
will beat then, Molly; and the red will
come tuck to those pretty checks of
yours, too, and tho dimples will Iu just
as bright as they were when I litst met
you on the little creek bridge down at
your old hum-.' two years ago."
Then he walked hurriedly along I ill in
front of a large publishing house, here he
paused a moment lo brace himself, then
ran lightly up the steps. "L-jok over
this," he said wheu he stood before the
b ird faced editor, "and I shall call again."
Then he drew from his pocket the prec
ious manuscript and before the editor
could reply had placed it on (he desk
before him and was gone. Johu's heart
was lighter than u sual that evening when
he ran up the rickety old steps of his own
home, and there was something, too, of
the boyish ring in the strong voice which
called Molly as he listened with strained
ears for the tender little vuiee which al
ways wclcnucd him home. Hut no, she
was asleep! The sunshine had crept
away from its old place and out at the
little window, leaving the shadows lio
gcring on the damp curls which had
blown baek just a little fioui the white
faco. John went up to her and play
fully laid a handful of gold coins iu her
hand and as he did so he whispered: "I
have kept it from you, little wife, till now
till now. You did nut know that 1
was an author, but when you wake up
you will sec." ltut when he touched her he
drew away with a start, for the frozen
brow wilh Us tnnge ot sunny hair was
only a mockery to earth's frail beauty
aod the cold bits of gold which lay seat
tered about her were no colder than the
empty white hands which had refused to
take llicui.

I predicate my hopeful prophecy
the conditiou of the larmers of tin-State
'o thirds of ihe people and seven tenths
of our capital are directly interested iu
the tillage of the soil; not only so, but
everything depends upon the farmer.
All kinds ol husine s, therefore, must
improve ll he is prosperous. .Now
notwithstanding the farmer may nut agree
with my conclusions, I am satined that
he is in letter cull litinu than he has been
at any time since tho close uf the war.
He is nearer out of debt; he has given
fewer mortgages: he has bought a s mailer
quantity of fertilisers and his corn crib
anil meat house are fuller of "hog and
hominy" than for many years past. In
