He’s Mr. Cutt’s eat-iu’ and drinkin ; sleepin’, sometimes.” “ Well, my good woman,” said the gentleman, “ I think he will be Mr. Cults for my business, too. I wish to see him.” “ What do you want of him?” asked the shrew, thrusting her head still fur- ther out of‘ the window. “ To do something for me. But I must see him myself,” was the reply. “ Is it raal business, for pay, or only a favor that you want; I' can let your boss have a peek of oats, or I can direct you to the shortest road to the Four Corners, or I canâ€"I canâ€"why I can do anything for you- that he could; and a good deal more. I take the money and write the receipts; and pay the men, and I take off the producel I am as good a judge of stock as he is, and can’t be beat on horse flesh.” “But,” said the gentlemen, drawing down his face solemnly, “ you can’t take his place~ now. Find him out for me at once.” The shrew was bullied. “ Look-aâ€"here, mister, maybe you don’t know the cirâ€" cumstances of the case. This here farm is mine, and it. was my father’s afore me; and Cutts he halo’t no more claim to it than that hen down there has. And be- sides I'm seven years older than he is, a foot higher and weigh twenty pounds more 1 What’s your business on my place, if I may make so bold ?” “ To see and talk with your husband,” replied the gentleman, getting out of his chaise and hitching his horse to a post,as if he. meant to stay till he did see him. “Be you a doctor? ’Cause there ain’t a living thing the matter with Cutts. He’s the wellest man in town, and so be I,” said this “woman of the times.” “ No, my good woman, I’m not; a doc- tor. Do you think your husband will be in soon? Send that: boy to find him ?” said the stranger. The boy looked up in his mother’s faceâ€"but he knew his own interest too well to start without orders. “ Then you're a minister, I suppose, by your black clothes. I may as Well tell you and save you time, that we don’t go to meeting and don’t want«to.- It ain’t no use for you to leave no tracts for nothingâ€"for I’ve got a big dairy and ain’t; no time to idle away readin’, and I keep him about so early and late, that when he’s done work he’s glad to go to bed and rest.” ' , drud “ I’m no minister, madam; I Wish I , was for your sake,” said the gentleman. . “ Send for your husband; I cannot wait much longer. I must see him at once.” The boyi started to his feet. again, ahd looked in his mother’s eye, but it gave no marching orders. _ “ Look here, mister,” now appearing at. the door, and looking defiantly at. him ; “ you’re a schoolmaster, huntin’ up ‘5- trict school, and you think he’s a com- mittoemau ;'but he ain’t. this year.” “ No, I’mitlong'a schoolmastcrflcii’mr," said the visitor; “though I would not have to look far for pupils in need of teaching, if I were.” “ Ma’am Cutts,” as the neighbors called her, dropped her hands to her side and heaved a groan. She had found a man she couldn’t manage. “ See here, now mister,” she said, “ I can read a body right through, and I knew what you was the blessed minute I clapped my eyes on you. I can tell by your everlasti-u’ arguin’ that. you are lawyer. We hain’t got no quarrels; don’t want no deeds drawed or wills made, so if you’re huntin’ a job of my hus‘ band, you may as well onhitch your horse and drivc ori. We know enough to make a little money, and I know enough to hold on to it.” “ My good woman, you entirely mis- understand my errand. I can tell no one but; himself what it. is, and must tell him in confidence alone. If he chooses he may break it to you the best way he can.” “Oh, my goodness sake alivel Bro- ther Lif’s blowed up in the Mississippi boat, I bet. Oh, la me the poor fellow ! He left a little something, didn’t he ?” “I never heard of him, and nobody is ‘blowcd up,’ that I know of,” replied the gentleman. “Iâ€"uow I know! You’re the man what. wants to go to Congress, ha, and have come here huntin’ after votes. He shall not vote for you! I hate politi- cians, especially them that. goes ngiu women, and thinks they were made to e and nothio’ else!

You can’t see my husband! We are going to the polls on the way to the mill and I’ll promise you that he votes right.” men and women “ I’m no candidate, and I don’t know what; you are talking about. Ah! there comes the man I want.” The stranger went toward Mr. Cutts, W110 had just. leaped a pair of bars which led from the potato patch into the lane. Mrs. Cutts flew into the house for her sunâ€"bonnet, tofollow them ; but, by the time she got; to the bars, her mysterious visitor and Cutts were driving rapidly down the road. The strong-minded woman shouted after her husband, “ You’d better come back, I tell you 1” but the wind was the wrong way, and carried her words into the potato patch. “Sir,” said the gentleman to honest Cults, “I have a very simple question to ask you, but I shall have to ask you in confidence. I will give you five dol- lars if you will promise not to repeat my words until to-morrow.” “Well, sir,” replied Cutts, “I should not like to answer any questions that would make trouble among my neigh- bors. I have my hands .full, I can tell you, to keep out of scrapes now; but I’ve done it, and hain’t an enemy in the world, as \I know.” “But, sir, you needn’t reply to my question unless you are perfectly willing” said the stranger. “ Ask your question said,” said Cults, “ and I will not repeat it.” “Well, Mr: Cults, I am laying fence on the Brisley place, that I have just bought, and I was directed to inquire of you where I could buy cedar posts. A fellow in the store said, ‘ Cutts can tell you, if his wife will let him; but she won’t. She’ll insist on telling you her- self, and perhaps offer to drive you wherever you go to order them.’ ” "‘ I told them I would see you and ask you only; and the fellows bet: on it. They are to give you ten dollars, and two or three widows in town a cord of 'wood each, if Isucceed in asking you this question alone, and making sure your wife does not know my business until after breakfast tomorrow morning.” Cults knew his wife’s “ standing” too well to feel very sensitive, and taking the bill from the stranger, he smiled and said: §visitiug a young lady. WHOLE N01'667. ' “I’ll go with you to look out cedar posts and keep dark, for the joke's sake; but I don’t know as she'll let me stay in: i L the houSe to-night; I don’t oWn it re- plied the good-natured Cutts. “Suppose you go to the place and see to setting the posts. I will send a boy to tell her you had to go 011' suddenly on a little business, and will be back in the morning,” said the stranger. u I’ll do that,” replied Cults, i» rér‘I never quarrel with her, but let her have her oWn way. I don’t want to worry myself about trifles." “Good man,” said the stranger, “there are no trifles in this life. The smallest: act is important, and that easy good nature of yours will ruin your fami- ly. Baflle that spirit to-day, and next Sunday take your boys and go to the house of God, Whatever she says, and be a real manâ€"at the head of your own house and family.” “ It’s rather late to begin,” said Cutts, shaking his head in a way that: would have warned others from the trap in which his feet were fast. “ You see the purse is hers,” he added, “ and that has been a crueller fetter than her will to me. But I will try to begin anew, for her good and the children’s.” The boy was sent. with the message, but the boy wasn’t; sharp enough. Mad- am Cutts discovered the whereabouts of her lord, tackled up and went after him. All the way'homc, and far into the night, she used her eloquence, both in pleadings and threateuiugs, to find out the ’mysterious errand of that. hateful town nabob that had come into the coun- try to separate happy families. But. Cutts yielded himself up to a “,dumb spirit” for the night, and no measure. could induce him to talk on any subject, lest she should pry the mighty secret out of him. About midnight she wore herself out and went to sleep; but at break of day she began. He then ventured to say, “ As soon as breakfast is over I’ll break the news to you.” “ You’ll never eat a morsel iu'my house, I ’ cah’fl‘l‘l W, cries'Xan tippe,‘ “ till ydcu‘fll'ave told me what the man wanted of you 1” “ Then you’ll wait. a good while to hear it,” said Cutts, “for I have vowed I’d never tell it till I had first eaten my breakfast,” and with these words he went out. Madam Cutts endured the fortune as long as possible, and then got breakfast. She called to the door to no one in par- ticular, “Come.” But Cutts didn’t come. After a while she went out to the barn and found him seated on the upturned half bushel mea- sure calmly pooling and eating a raw turnip. ' “ It does seem as if this here man had possessed you 1 Your breakfast is coolin’ * do come in,” flex-e was a pointed gained. Cutts went in as requested, and ate his breakfast. When that was over, ina’am settled herself back in her chair: with her face full of eager expectations, and said : “ Now begin. What did that ’ere man want: '1’” “ He wanted some cedar posts,” replied Cutts calmly, without looking up; “and that was all.” If an arrow had struck Madam Cutts, she could not have manifested more surâ€" prise and shame. “ I am the laughiugstock of this town,” added Cutps, “and from this hour I turn over a new leaf. I’m hehooforth head of my family,and unless this house is made mine I shall finish off a room in the barnâ€"which is mineâ€"and you’ll be welcome to share it; with me. If not, I’ll live there with the boys, and you will find me a. civil neighbor.” Ma’am Cutts’ power was broken.
