THE WIFE'S VERSION. What is the matter with him? Why fs he dis- satisfied with me? I do not understand. And yet I have done everything t6 make him happy.... Ido not say that instead of a poet I should not have preferred to marry a notary, a lawyer, something more stald and sedate and less Vague and unsettied as a profession; but ter all, such as he ts, I liked him. 1 found him Ue excited, but kind all the same, and well ht up: then he had some little fortune, and I thought that whenonce married his poetry Would not keep him from seeking a good place Which would make us quite comfortable, At that time he, too, found me to his taste. hen he came tosee me at my aunt’s In the country, he could not flnd words to admire the order and nheatness of our little home, kept like a convent. “It is amtising,” he used to say. He used to lawgh and call ‘ne by all sorts of names taken from his poems and from novels that he.haa read. That shocked me a little, I must admit; I should have wished to see him more serious. But it was not untli we were married and set- tied at Paris that i felt the difference between our two natures. 1, who had dreamed of a nicely-kept, bright and clean little home, saw our apartment sud- denly encumbered with useless, old-fashioned furniture, eaten up with dust and age, with faded tapestries, so old.....It was the same with everything else. Imagine, he made me put away in the attica very pretty Empire clock, pe tome by my aunt, and some beautituliy ed pictures, given to me by old school friends. He found all that hideous. £ still do not know why. For his study, his working- room was a heap of old pictures biackeaed with stooke. of statuettes at which I was ashamed to look, of broken down antiquities, good for noth- ing, chandeliers covered with verdigtis, vases that would not hold water, odd cups and sau- cers. By the side of my fine rose-wood piano, he bad placed a little, ugly, scaly one, with half the keys lost, and so wora that you could hardiy hear it. I began to to myself: “Ah! it seems to me that an artist 13 a bit of a madman. --..He likes only what s useless, he despises what ts good for anythiag.

"Not even a card or a bonbon on New Year's day. Nothing....Some of these gentlemen were married, snd brought thelr wives with them. You should have seen the taste of those ladies, They had superb toilets every h day, such as J shall never wear, thank Heaven! And so badly made, without order or method. Hair puffed out, train- ing skirts, and talents, which they Showed otf impudently. There was some of them that sang like actresses and played the plano like professors; allof them chattered about every- thing, just Uke men. Is It reasonable? I put the question to you. Ought serious women, when onee they are married, to think of any- tbing else but domestic matters? That is what I'ried to make my husband understand when e was pailed to see me give up my mu3ic. Musle is well enough for young girls who have nothing better to do. But, to tell you the truth, Ishould think myself ridiculous if I sat down before the plano every day. Oh! I know {t well enough.

He was bored from morning unul night. At our little soirecs, where 1 used, nevertheless, to have a card tabie, a tea table, everything, in fact, ne used to appear with a face and a mood! When we were alone it was just the same. And yet I was full Of attention. I used to say to him: “Read me a little of your work.” He used to recite to me verses and tirades. I did not understand anything in them, but I seemed to be intereste.t, apd here and there I made a little remari which, however, always had the effect of irri. tating him.

I did not want a Parisienne, be- cause the Parisiennes frightened me. I did’ not want a rich wife who would have brought with her a whole train of exigences. I f ‘also the family, that terrible entwining of v T, eR £ ig affections which imy and sufiea man. My wife was just the ideal of my dreams. I used to to myself:—“She will owe everything to me. lat joy to form that artless mind to fine things, to initiate that pure soul into my enthusiasms, hoy to give life to that statue!” alata st sharp at softness of youthful vis- es, that rose-tinted down, and the shade of hair. Add to that a little provincial accent which was my delight. and which I listened to with my eyes closed asa souvenir of happy childhood, the echo of a tranquil life in afar distant unknowncorner. And to think that now that accent has become unbearable to me!.... But at that time I had faith. I loved, I was happy, and disposed to be still more hap- py. Full of ardor for work, I had, as soon as I was married, in a new poem, and in the evening I used to read to her the verses that I had made during the day. 1 wished to make her enter completely into my existence. The first few times she safd to me: “It is pretty ..-.” and I was grateful to her for that childigh approbation, hoping that in time she would comprehend better what made my life. Unhappy woman! how I must have wearied her! After having read her my verses, I used to explain them to her, seeking in her fine, astonished eyes the expected brightness, think- ing to see it there always. I used to oblige her to give me her opinion, and I used to glide over the silly observations and retain only the good things with which chance inspired her. 1 should so much have desired to make her my true wife, the wife of an artist! But no! She aid not understand. It was in vain that I read to her the great poets, the strongest and the most tender; the Voter rhymes of love poems fell before her with the tiresomeness and cold- ness of @ storm of rain. Once, I remember, we were reading the Nvit @oetovre ; she interrupt. ed me to ask for Lees | more serious. I then tried to explain to her that there 1s nothing more serious In the world than try, which Is the very essence of life and floats above it like vibrating light in which words and thoughts are selected and transfigured. On! the disdaintul smile of her pretty mouth and the condescendence of her look..You would have said that she had been lstening to a child oma madman. What strength and eloquence I have wasted upon her, all to no pu ! It was all in vain. Iwas Led womb butting against what she called sense, reason, that eternal excuse of dry hearts and narrow minds. And it was not only poetry that bored her. Before our mar- riage I had believed her to be a musician. She seemed to comprehend the pieces that she jae all underlined by her professor. She ad hardly been married when she closed her piano and gave up music. Do you know any- thing more sad than this abandonment by the woman of everything that pleased in the girl? After baving given the cue and finished herrole the Ingenue quits her costume. All that was only In view of marriage, a mere surface of little talents, pretty smiles and passing ele- gance. In her case the change was instanta- neous. I had at first hoped that the taste witch I was unable to give her, the Intelligence of art and of beauty, would come to her in spite of herself in that admirable Paris where the eyes and the intellect grow tine without our know- ing it. But what can youdo with a woman Who does not know how toopen a book or to look at a pleture, who is bored by everything and who does not want to see anything? I un- derstood at length that I should have to resign Tuyself tohaving nothing butan active and economical housekeeper—oh! very economical. Woman according to Proudhon, and that fs all. I should have accepted my fate; so many artists are in my position! But that modest role was not sufficient for her. Little by little,slyly,stlently, she had managed to drive away all my friends. In her presence We did not stand upon ceremony. We talked as we had always talked; and of our artistic ex- aggerations, of those wild axioms, of those par- adoxes in which the tdea ts travestied in order the better to smile, she understood neither the fantasy nor the irony.- All that only irritated and confused her. Seated in a corner of the salon, she listened without saying anything, promising herseift to eliminate, one by one. those who shocked her so much. In spite of an apparent welcome, people already began to feel that little current of cold air which warns you that the door ts half-opened and that it will be soon time to go away. When my friends were gone she oy rin them by her own. I saw myself invaded by stupid people, who were strangers to art, tire- some, and with a profound contempt for poetry, becatise “It does not pay.” Purposely they used to cite before me the names of the popular seribblers, manufacturers of plays and novels by the dozen: *So-and-so makes a lot of money.” Making money is everything for these mon- sters, and I had the pain of seeing my wife think with them. In these sinister surround- ings all her Frovinclal habits, her mean and poe ‘Views still shrank up into an incredible avarice, Fifteen thousand frances of income! It seemed to me that with that one ht live without care for the morrow. No; 1 her always complaining, talking of economy, of reforms, of —— us Investments. The more she over- whelm Mme with those stupid details, I felt the taste and desire for work lea\ me. Some- Umes she would come to table and turn over disdainfully the verses that Thad begun. “Is that all?” she would say,counting the hours that had been lost over those inst; want Uttle lines. Ah! if T had listened to her that noble Utle of poet which I have spent so many years to win would now be in the mire of preductions @ outrance. And when I think that it was to this same woman at first] poured forth all my heart, all my dreams. When I think that this disdain which she shows for me, because Ido not make money, dates from the first moments of marriage, truly J am ashamed for myself and for he Ido not make money! That explains every- thing, the reproachfuiness of her look, her ad- mirauion for productive commonplaces, even these measures which she took recently in or- ba to obtain some place in a ministerial ureau. Ah! Ireststed. There is nothing left me but that, an inert will, proof against all assaults and all persuasion. “She may talk for hours and freeze me with her coldest smile, my thought escapes her and always will Sieg her, And there we are! Married, condemned to five to- gether, separated by whole leagues, and we are too Weary, too discouraged to make one step, the one towards the other. And here we are for life. It is horrible. eee THE OLD W4Y, How it is Adhered to in Germany. ‘These people are blessed in their experimental ignorance of carpets and cast-iron stoves; Dut why bave they an enmity to corn-brooms? why are there no wooden in the German kitchen? why sueh a striking lack of cupboards and china Closets? why must you smother between two feather beds at night? and why, in the interest of its Drewerles, should Germany. form an alliance with the great powers of Eerope to exclude a glass of water trom its railroad cars? 80 you — yo on questioning until you lapse into a state of chronic interro- gation, and the only answer which would sult your temper, If not your judgment, would be that a German has a distrust of anything in the shape of a convenience, You are never more {mpressed with this thought than when there fs an alarm Of fire. Of course there is no fire-alarm telegraph. Alarms must be sent to the police or to the fire watch In different ofthe city. Fires, however, like everything clse in the country, never seems {o be in a hurry to burn, andan American would Say that the tire companies were In no hurry to ut them out. The engine is a very primitive af- ir, mounted on a hand-car and drawn to the tire by a few men with as much sivity and almost astmuch deliberation as if they were Ory a funeral. Arriving al the fire, the engine ts lifted irom the car, placed on the ground, and worked by hand.

We both concluded, in ho spirit of exaggeration, that two or three garden engines could be obtained from some of our agricultural warehouses which would do guite as much execution as the engines we saw. To a New York or Boston fireman the whole exhibition would have been a cold-water com- edy. Butif you luugh at the fire department you lapse into Instant gravity when a Ger- man very properly retorts. “Our tire depari- ment May not be as good as yours, but stil (with a significent shrug of the shoulders) we do not have apy Boston or Chicago fires.” “And it ts true; there ts iter precaution taken against fires than with us, the building laws are Siripgent; houses are built of brick, have im- mensely thick walls, and seem to be practically fireproof. Fires very seldom spread. By uaing the pound of prevention the Germans are abie to get along With the ounce of cure. With the German fire department in Boston the city would soon become an ash heap, but with German prevention and the Ai would be invuln erable. ‘TRE OMNIVOROUS NATURE Of the ostrich has well illustrated an B Srit is now sate to es3—favored with vanni.

Then put in a little spinach greening, and lastly a small pat of fresh butter, or stir in half a gill of cream. Serve over small dice of bread fried in butter. PRIME Burrer.—A method in practice among the butter makers of England for rendering the butter firm and solid during the hot weather 1s as follows: Carbonate of soda and alum are used for this purpose, made into powder. For 20 pounds of butter one teaspoonful of carbon- ate of soda and one teaspoonful of powdered alum are mingled together at the time of churning and put into the cream. ‘The effect of this powder is to make the butter come firm and solid, and to give a clean, sweet flavor. it does not enter into the butter, but fts action is upon the cream, and it passes off with the but- termilk. The ingredients of the powder should not be mingled together until required to be used or at the time the cream 13 in the churn ready for churning. NIGHT THE TIME FOR TRANSPLANTING.—A gen- tleman anxious to ascertain the effect of trans- planting at in instead of by day, made an experiment with the following results: He transplanted ten cherry-trees while in bloom, commencing at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Those transplanted during the daylight shed their blossoms, producing little or no fruit, while those Gee eee tn the dark maintained their condition fully. He did the same with ten dwart trees, after the fruit was one-third grown. ‘Those transplanted beg) the day shed their fruit; those transplanted during the night per- tected the crop and showed no injury from hav- ing been removed. With each of these trees he removed some earth with the roots. The incl- dent is fully vouched for, and if a few similar experiments produce a like result it will be a strong argument to horticulturists, &., to do such work at night. Goop Stock.—Farmers are beginning to dls- cover that it costs more to keep poor than it loes good stock. Hogs that have to be kept un- Ul they are two years old before they are large enough for market, of course cost_about three Umes a8 much to raise as animals whici are ready for market at nine months. Sell off the Poor cows, ard if it costs more, as if will,to buy good ones, keep fewer of them. Ratse the heifer calves when they come of good stock. A calf Will cost almost nothing to raise until 1tis a year old. A handful of oatmeal daily and the Spare skim milk will be all that is needed until It can eat grass. Select some particular breed of chickens best adapted for your purpose and gradually get rid of all barnyard fowls. Ke- member, in making your selection, that it ts ne- cessary to keep them confined. Plymouth Rock3, Cochins or Brahmas will suit you better than white or brown Leghorns, as the latter, belag ‘small and light, need a very high fence. They are also very energetic scratchers and make sad havoc in a garden. ‘THE GRAPE VINE LUXURIATES In a loose, warm soil, naturally or artificially well drained. Limestone, sand, clay and tron’ are desirable elements. The production of grapes for the table and for wine are separate and distinct ob jects, requiring different kinds of soils. Rich, fat lands give a generous growth of wood and gocd-sized bunches of large watery fruit, while thin, preva or rocky soils yleld light crops of rich, highly favored grapes. Before planting a vineyard, the wine-grower should make up his mind as to the kind and quality of wine he de- sires to Make, and then select his site and choose bis vines accordingly. He can produce either large quantities of medium wines, or small quantities of choice wines, but lrg yields and fine qualities do not go together ana are essentially incompatible. ‘Poor soll, rich product, great wine in little quantity,” is the rule all over Europe. Wines of the Dest char- acter are made from vines that flourish among stones and rocks, Hermitage, for exampte, was first grown among granite rocks, broken smaller by art, with litle or no dressing of earth; and flint stones are sometimes carted into vineyards in the Medoe district, although nature has provided them with a very lideral supply.—American Grape Grower, EVERGREENS IN Door-YARDs.—A smail, hand- somely-grown Norway spruce or other ever- green, fresh from the nursery and only three or four feet high, is a beautiful little object, and the inexperienced planter of new grounis of harrow extent, is not aware that the sym- taetrical little bushes will ever be much larger. He intersperses them freely over his small agers and they have a fine appearance for a few years. But they spread wide and push up- ward unceasingly, and in a few more years his windows are darker by the dense growth, all distant views excluded; and small shrubs and herbaceous _— beneath them are shaded and destroyed. In a few years more, the tall ever- greens themselves crowd and distort one an- other, and their inner and lower branches be- come dead sticks projecting from the bare trunk, This result might, indeed, be prevented by frequently cuvting back the branches and fopping the leader, 50 as to impart a natural € form: but few will ever undertake this labor, and the trees will be neglected. An easy and simple remedy is to plant such trees as never grow large, such, for example, as the tree box, the dwarf mountain pine, Pine, several dwarf varieties of the Norway spruce and of the white pine, and the dwarf arbor vite. A few of these, ol ed from the nurseries, will give one’s home a beautiful ap. pearance, end will be very easily kept in sha) AN AGRICULTURAL CREED.—According to the Cancda Farmer, the agriculturists or Canada met in convention not long ago and adopted for themselves the following creed:—“We believe in Small farms and thorough cultivation; we be- lieve that the soll lives to eat, as well as the Owner, and ought, therefore, to be well manured; we believe in going to the bottom of and therefore deep plowing, and enough of it” all the better if It be a subsoll plow; we believe in large crops which leave the land better then they found it, making both the aud the farmer rich at onoe; we believe that every farm should own a good farmer; we believe that the fertilizer of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence; without these, ’ lime, _ g: ‘psum, and guano would be of little use; we beileve in good fences, larm-houses, orchai children enough to ‘gether the trate we believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it a clean cupboard, a dairy, and ae fot Eo & ie fal, Arlington H Ferry, T. ¥; Mich.
