Mrs. Grimsby writes that she will •pend the season in the White Mountains.* 44 Ah !" Nathan ejaculated, in his far away manner, handling his knite aud fork clumsily, as if they were weapon* ot defence, and gazing with a very tin-Na than-like expression away from the com fortable tea table, with its delicate bine rimmed xerv ice, and the placid, good na tared lady behind the monstrous tea urn, who sat with a curious air or puzzled ex pectation. "Are you not well, Nathan i Is that ell ju Lave to say T 9 Down fell war implement No. 1, the knife, at which a little color mounted to the brown, handsome face, and then a grave, sweet smile that made one forget in an instant the awkwardness ol his every movement. " Good gracious, Aunt Rural, what wenld you have me say ? that Mrs. Grimsby should have asked our consents about the vjgit to the White Mountains. She generally spends the season some* wbete. It's just as weii White Moun tains as Cape May. It's all right, I sup pose." • " Nathan, I hope you don't mean to be funny," said Aunt Royal, piteously. "l'ou know I am not in the least appreciative. Mrs. Grimsby's design on the White Moun- ] tains ha* nothing to do with the subject about which I wish to speak. Helen,! after a loag winter with those children, must feel the need of rest and relaxation Sbc must be terribly tired ot the city and her hard, unvarying life of dependence. 1 wish it were possible to ask her down for a month or two." Not knowing i*t bow this might be received, Aunt Royal hastily made an other cup of tea, mistaking the salt spoon for the sugar tonsa, u her eflort* to look composed, eyeing the broad shouldered | Nathan opposite. 44 I suppose yon have written to Mrs. Kayne, saying, that the doors of Carlings- j ford are ever o;<n to her. Always, so long as it would be pleasant for her to remain here."' Nathan's smile was gone, and a feverish ight gleamed down low in the depths of hL grey eves. He stooped, replaced the knife that nad fallen, with a slight tremor scarcely noticeable. Aunt Reya! Lett aba cup qt .tern she hid • third cup newly drawn, and came around the table to lar her band on the dark, straieht bair, and to tell Nathan bow goed of bita to grant bcr this. " Helen has not been oat of town but once. I think, since ber husband's death ; what a treat it wMi be—CarJinestord is at it* beat, now, too. i shall write and ask her to come at once; I could not, certain- IT, before naming it to you.

"*y,r sieved W t§ m out satisfactorily in the end, more to her sur prise than aasfmWs of her acquaintance. Carlingsford Willows, one of the roo-t beautiful bum houses in the Hudson river country, had* "been Jeit solely to Nathan Carlingsford, when a lad of sixteen, ten years before rhfo summer evening, when we find him taking tea with bis house keeper, four mother, friend and adviser. Mm. If ortb, a distant relative of his father's second wife, who had not survived him a year. Aunt Royal had grown to look on the cheery old bouse, with its Knicker bocker gabies and ponderous stone flag gings. as her borne dining the life time of the last Mm. Carlingsford. After ber decease, the place, without a mistress, fell into rains, and young Nmtbsn, woefully feeling the need of a woman about the houc to keep bim from sharing the com mon fate when he returned from his studies, humanely offered ber the position, and it was gratefully accepted. She had remained all those years, making a weak pretcncj of going back to Vermont every year, though the good Nathan had never fhilcd to cflectually discourage this protect. Aunt Royal went away with bcr bed room candle, and sat for a lony while over a letter to her n ; ece. Helen Kayne, anx ious that it might be amebed in "just the %ords that would bring ber down to tbe pleasant old bouse for a few weeks. "Such a dear girl as Helen, earning the bread she eats by a life of drudgery and serfdom to three over-fed, lusty tyrants. I dare say those Grimsby children have worn her to a mere shadow." The delicate affair was at length des patched, the letter closing with a few affectionate remarks, lay enveloped and ftaled with the great pretentious seal of the Royals, which had remained In the good lady's possession an untold number •f years. Aunt Royal extinguished the candle, in which very many foolish moths had scorched themselves, and crossing the worn crimson carpet, checked with great bars of light from a summer moon climb ing above the laurel tree that grew against her window, she gazed down on a still figure below with brawny arms folded, and finely poised head thrown back, a good natured lion at rest. " Nathan is a good fellow. I think he once fancied Helen, at least admired her bright face and companionable ways. To be sure there has been a great change in her. nonr dear, but she would make an admirable mistress for Carlingsford—no one better. I wish I might bring this about; it's quite time Nathan thought about taking a wife." The next morning, to Aunt Royal's titter surprise snd utter consternation Nathan Carlingsford appeared at the breakfast table in a gray traveling suit, with a linen Raglan thrown over bis arm, and to her burst of inquiry declared that be had suddenly conceived the idea of tak ing a jaunt for a month or six weeks. She might have the Willows to herself, or to soy company pits shorn to ivjte few* FREP. KURTZ, Editor and Proprietor. VOL. V. She wax at all time* to hare jut what companions she desired, and lor as long a time a* abe or her picst hkei. Aunt H Aral's prim cap IHU bad not in the knowledge ol any one ever seemed so awry and out of order ; the soil gray hair, uuifornily as smooth as silk, was actually falling down tu wispy little curia about tbe sweet motherly face, and Aunt Royal presented a disagreeable contrast to iter usually placid self. " Nathan, you mean that you are not going to stay at home to welcome the company you have invited down to I'trl ingsiord. The faking aud fowling com rades you spoke of, you can't mean for them to arrive and bud tbe place without a ho,t, Nathan ?" Nathan smiled a little, and began a vig orous onslaught on the tea aud mufti ire, but with an air t not relishing the repast. "The Ashing and fowling eau wait, Aunt Royal, for a month at least. 1 surrender Cariingsfurd to yon until 1 return. Hare you not often vowed it would be a good thing to get rid of a great, loutish fellow who tramps in and out at unreasonable hour*, keeping the bouse in % sad state ol tumble and urn-leanness, with no end ol whims and fancies to reconcile ? You don't mean to say ynu have not said all this, and more, Mrs. North 7" 44 As if it were not your own house Nathan, to turn completely round, if you chose;" said ths good iaiiv with an ag grieved tone, and the very nearest approach to dissatisfaction that was possible to her. She saw her well intentloned designs upon the master of Carlingsford Willow* disappear in a whirl of vapor, not unlike the steam from the noiale of the diminu tive hot water kettle, which, during the progress ot the important tea making, occupied a stand at her elbow. '• 1 believe Nathan Carlingsford mean* to go on uutil the eud of the chapter, eat ng bread like a visitor in his own house, without one care as to w bat is to become of him during all the years to come, and treating with downright injustice acme good woman who ought to be mistress here." Thia was when the wrong-beaded young man had quite gone —not a vestige of him remaining, save a room dismantled of a few familiar things to see which was to see Nathan, and a perfect ocean of paper, scraps of old letters and a vast number ot articles almost without name or charac ter, which had resulted trom a strange mode of clearing drawers and packing portmanteaus (peculiar to men like Carl ingsford) with all things on top that should be at the bottom, and such confusion and ntter desolation behind as no woman,with a well regulated, orderly housekeeping turn of mind couid be calm under. Mrs. North was a model ot propriety and neatness, from the snowy lace cap to ! the hem of the gray stuff dress on which j no speck or spot had ever been seen. Nathan in bis mannish disregard of the j eternal ti tints ol things, had. during a long ' and intimate acquaintance, been a great trial to her. Sbc had persistently followed up her early teachings with scarcely the good effect she bad hoped and expected, and at last bad submerged all other desires j about Nathan in the grand scheme of mar j rying htm off to some orderly little woman, who, beginning with neat and fresh prin j eiples, and a young energy, might in time accomplish something tn the redemption of this castaway. The cleaning of dehris from Nathan's deserted chamber, and the restoring of it ito its wonted wholesome aspect, with the , stir and bustle consequent u|n preparing apartment* for her neice Helen, who w expected daily, brought back the eTeu temper and calm spirits for which Aunt Royal North was so well noted far and , wide. We will not dwell on her surprise and j chagrin after the receipt of the letter from niece Helen, begging to decline her kind mritation. "Not for anything, dear Aant North, wonld I spend any time at Carlingsford as a visitor, althongh if yon were very ill I ' think 1 should do what I could. lam deeply sensible of your good motive in this, but am compelled to decline. I tbmk , f shall remain in my present employ, and perhaps accompany Mrs. Grimsby io care for the children," etc. "Not for any thing* spend an • time at CarliDgsford as a visitor." Aunt Royal sat down in her rano-cit rocker witb a very blank face, and held off the mysterious and offensive epistle as one would some refreshing entomological speci men, and re-read the line* quoted, from a : **te distance, with positively a faint angry flush io ber cheek. " And why not ? indeed, very many young women would lie happy at the In re mention of such a chance to catch a hus band, to speak nothing of such a one as i Nathan Carlingsford could he in spite of his ill-at ease manner. I really would not 1 have believed such perversity of Helen Kayne—care for "the children, indeed !" Tbwa-tcd in ber amiable plans and ma chinations at every turn, Aunt Royal gave way to the distemper cau-ed by so many disappointments, and went straightway to bed m a cool west cnamber, with its white dimity trimmings and great pink rases full of double red rose* and feathery as paragus sprays; bad her head bound up, and her little handmaiden Hannah to sit a r ar off, quite at the foot of the white cur tains, and just within ranee of her eye, and waft up and down—with the lazy undulation of a great willow bough—a great, gorgeously lined ftp. 44 To think that I can have no influence with either of them, alter all these year*," Aunt Royal muttered, watching with a dreamy sense of comfort the approach and wavering retreat of the peacock feathers. "Ma'am?" innocent Hannah queried, leaning forward on her brown, dimpled elbow, opening her pay eyes in conster nation at this new evidence that ber mis tress wandered in her mind. Hannah Hurst, never care for any body'* welfare, and don't ever lay up any plans and hopes so long as you live." The peacock feathers went quite out of sight and lay on the cool, checkered mat ting, and Hannah's gray eye* blinked at Aunt Royal's sudden energy. "Do you bear, child; no hopes, no plans —live on, and let things come about as they will." " Yes, ma'am,' said Hannah, beginning again to set the air in motion with the green and purplish gold fan. Aunt Royal's sense oi her wrong* and her surroundings grew fainter and fainter, and understanding her release from these symptoms, Hannah went softly out of the room, closing it ifft with a delicious sigh of gladness that she was neither a rose or an asparagus spray, to stav day and night within four white walls, with only a drowsy blue bottle buzzing against the highest pane in the window, and Aunt Royal lying very still behind the spotless bed drapery. Freedom was what Hannah longed for, and getting clear of the white garden gate, with ita yellow honeysuckle drooping over, she rushed on over clover pinks and purple heartsease, down through a meadow green as velvet, quite at the further side of which a narrow stream ran gurgling over its pebbles, and in which was reflected the blue patch of pare sky, nodding plumes of white alder flowers; and Hannah's brown, gypsyish face and ronnded arms, clasped about a wealth of monstrous red and gold flag lilies and wild sweet pea. And now for this incorrigible Nathan. Ignoring a certain horror to be had of sncb flauntings up and down, at the very time when he considered the whole world had far better stay at home and keep quiet, Nathan determined for once to spena his summer as other men did, in eating, drink ing and idling over sultry beaches, knock iC ftboat toalfe and m rooks witfe bis THE CENTRE REPORTER boot heela, and u ishing himself, we di I not doubt, fifty times a dav, in the wide, cool avenues ol t'arlinpfoni Willows. Nathan had sNu a great dislike to noise and dress, sud the contusion at tend in t a fashionable resett. Ill* awkward move ments and reticent manners be knew he would Hud it ban! to counterbalance, even with so much money, and prepared to see tbe poor result in his lasor, by the side of other men. lie was not one to desire the tine opinion ol luauv ; the only one in all the world he cared to think well of him quite hated him he knew lor some unknown reason, and it was nothing now that other women disregarded httn. Walking on alone, over the hard, yellow beach, the third day after brearilvsl at the seaside, he caught on the end ofhissleuder walking-stick a blue veil belonging to s >tne one below on the rocks, and strolling ou la-can to look for a possible owner. He found, lookiug about everywhere for the luissiug article, a slender little Hgure in gray, with straying locks of damp, dark hair, and cheeks like dripping water lilies —as stainless and pure. Nathan knew that Hgure and the sweet, childishly beautiful lace too well. What should he do I (io away unobserved if he could I So, it was too late ; she raised two wistlul brown eyes, aud Hushed pain fully. " 1 beg your |>ardou —this is yours, I believe," and the veil was awkwardly pre sented. Taken in silence, a great pause ensuing, till a big wave had rolled up in white ( fringes aud subsided, and the brown eve* ! looked up earnestly in the disturbed nice i of the man whose heart just then beat hard against his bosom with the recollection of I old pangs. Nathan Carlingsford. seven years before that, had yielded up his good and geuerous heart wholly to this woman, who stood before bim for the first time since their parting, loved her with the only love ol Lis lite, beheld in her all the virtues and grace* he deemed any good woman should possess, and laucied bis passion not wholly without return. All these things his love, his hopes and apprehension—be had confided to his bosom friend, John Kayne, who sympstbized with his position aud volunteered his services as embassador, a* Nathan felt himself unequal to asking any woman to marry him. He felt his very war of putting it wuuki go against him, and aca>rdingly, as Kayne advised, he wrote with trembling band all that he could have urged, and sent it by hislriend. The letter hid not been notice lor answer ed, and, hurt beyond expression, Nathan had gone away front home for a year or two, and on returning found that hi* love Helen North had become the wife ot John Kayne, who bad been drowned within the year. He longed to take her in his arms, leading that theie could be no other woman in all the world for him. He bad never crossed her since, and heard through Aunt Royal, in a casual way, that Mrs. Kayne was living in New York as a nursery gover ness. •'Helen—Mrs. Kayne , this is a meeting ! I had not expected. 1 thought you were—'" Going headlong to a grand committal, j Nathan stopped, aud colored painfully. 4, 1 came down a week ago with Mrs. ; Grimsby.

What would have been your answer to me 1" " I should have said 4 yea,! and accepted your love as the one thing which seemed good in my sight." 44 My own love! My darling I" Nathan Carlingsford took her in his arms, bis long lost Helen, with frequent thanks, and felt that out of the store house of the gods he had received the most priceless treasure they had to offer him. Aunt Royal remains at the Willows, sometimes threatening the voung peopfe to leave them to themselves, out of ill-will that they should at last fall in love and marry without aid from her. Sometimes as Hannah sits with her pea cock feathers stirring the dull air and white bed curtains, leaning on her dimpled elbow as of old. Aunt Royal remembered ber caution to her little hiiidmsid and endeavors to reconcile the past snd pres ent. "Things do come sround, Hannah, in their own way, only let tbem be." As VxDrTircL Sox.—A curions case which recently came before the Thames police court is thus described by the Poll Mall Girzette : " A mother prosecuted her son, William Mnson, aged fourteen, for attempting to commit suicide by throw ing himself from a window. Mrs. Mason said her son came home one night, after being out all day, and asked her for money and food. She declined to give him any money, as he was a had boy, but promised that he should have some food if he went to a situation she had pro cured for him. He rushed on to the window-sill, and was about to jump off, when she caught hold of liim and drag ged him back. He" then tried to clioke himself, but she pulled his hands from his throat, which was quite red and swollen. He tried to iump ont of the window again, but she kept a tight hold of hirn, and, calling a police constables gave him in charge. lie had thrown himself down stairs once before and in jured himself seriously. She had done all in her power to correct him. but without avail. On one occasion she heat him until he was black and blue. Mr. Paget sent the prisoner to prison for a week, and said he would see what that would do." CITT ADVERTISING. —That portioh of the Corporation advertising of New York city, which lias, during the past few years, enriched the proprietors of the Transcript with the annual sum of about 8250,000 of public money, has been assigned to the Register, at an estimate of 9,500 tor the year. It will cost $35,000 to do the com position alone, and how the paper, which is a Hotel advertising record can make money out of it is a mystery. If the con tract is carried out faithfully it will make a saving. All the New York journals bid for the advertising but the Register won the rose.

I'rofe* or Wagner, in bis work ou the " Edu cation of Horses," savs : " 1 would caution all who train or use horses against exciting tbe ill-will of tbe animal. Many think they are doing finely, and are proud of their success in 1 bors* truiniug, by means of severe whip ping, or otherwise rousing snd atimuls ttng the passions, aud then from lteees j aity, crushing the will through which the resistance is prompted, ho mistake I can be greater than this.uud there is Both ! iug that so fully exhibits the sbility, judgment aud skill of the real horseman as the care and tact displayed in wiuniug instead of repelling, the action of the ; mind. Although it may bo necessary to use the whip sometimes, it should always . 1h applied judiciously, aud great care should lie taken not to rottse the pas sions or excite the will to obstinacy. " The legitimate aud proper use of the whip is calculated to operate on the sense of fear almost outirely. The af fectionate aud better nature of a horse must lx* appealed to in treining, as well as iu treiniug a ehihl; but if only the ptmioni are excited, the effect ia depruv ing and injurious. This is a vital princi ple, ami can he disregarded iu the una agent of sensitive and courageous horses only st the imminent risk of spoiling them. I have known many bum** of naturally gentle character to be e|K)Ucd by being whipped once, and one horse that was made vicious by being struck with a whip one* while standing in his stall. " I have referred to these instance* to show the danger of rough treatment, and the effect that may tie easily pro diuvd by ill-usage, eajieciallv with fine biaod horses and those of a ii iff Illy uer vous temperament. I!any other eases might bo cited, as eueh are by no means uncommon. Sensitive hums should uever lie left after they have been ex cited by the whip or other mean* until calmed down by rubbing or patting the head and neck, and giving apple*, sugar or something that the animal is fond of. Reuiemlier, the whip must lie used with great care, or it is liable to do mischief, aud may cause irreparable injury.'' How TUB LiTrL* OXES FABR. —lt does seem that in a large city like New York, a better method should be taken to have the children who daily stray from their homes returned. A child is lost, say at the extreme cud of the Twenty-ninth ward, and instead of taking him to I'olics Headquarters, where it is known they are eventually taken, the policeman who finds tn* child hit* to drag the jxnir little thing to the station house, where he must be content to stay until six o'clock r. M.. ami then be removed to headquar ters, where he i* kept forty-eight hours, and if net culled for iu that time handed over to the tender tnsmr* of the Com miasioners of Charities and Corrections. A few days ago kind hearted Officer O'Byrne picked up no leas than three of three little waifs, one of whom he had to walk and carry to the Twenty-ninth pre cint station house, a distance of quite two miles, and when the poor little f i low reached the house, he was so ex hausted that the good nniured doorman had to make him a pallet on two chairs, ami with the eiy of mother on his little quivering lips, he fell asleep. When th m children are removed to headquarter* they are kindly cared for by the matron, aud washed, fed and put to" sleep in little cote, and there ia no reason on earth why they should not lie token there in the first place; it would save much iucon venieuce to lioth officer* aud |>ureuta, and the children who are eo unfortunate as to be lost would fare tnuch better ; or if this cannot las done, why nt ereet a house expressly for the purpose of ac ct mum dating the jH>or little creature*, and make it publicly known that all of th< m found straying in the streets will be taken there.—A*.

Hay or grass alone will not sup port a horse under hard work, because there is not sufficient nutritive body in either. When a horse is not worksd hard its fowl should lie chiefly hay, harass* oats supply more nourishment and flesh making materials than any other kind food ; hay not so much. llow IT HAS BEEN. —Fires have been raging in the forests, and on the moun tains and plains all over tho country in consequence of the long continued drought of this spring. An examination of the table furnished by the self-recording rain guage at the Central Park Meteorological Observatory shows that the supply of rain is scarcely more tlian one half that of last year at a corresponding date. The difference in depth of snow was also great. In 1871 being 30.11 ins., and in 1872 9.87 ins.

The apparent explanation of this result is the reduction m the tone of the system from the mental afllictiou that follows the lo of the wife, aud doubtlm a critical cxami natiou into the diseases which carry of! w idowere in such large proportion would support this hypothesis. • The singular fatality among widower* might be advanced as an argument against the married state for men. for it la in. t at tended by any corresponding advantage, since the rate is the same both in the mar ried and unmarried; but this t< only a superficial view of the case, for it must net le forgotten that the vety increase in lbs death-rate among wide tret* shows bow much they have lost in losing their com panions, and that loss is an indirect but no less certain evidence that there was a gain, although it may appear to be obscure.

Ojwrnmiso A UAII.II>AI> TRAIN—The DeeMoinee ilowa) RegUttr says: A ain j gular case of railroad obstruction, and •me for which no rrmedv is provided for by the siutui.a, occurred a few even lugs since on the Valley road in Green* Coun ty. Conductor Livingston's train, when about three miles this side of Grand Junction, in i>aasing through some low country and near a jmnd, ran into an immense flock of swan, hrtndt. gre&e. and other wild fowl. The birds ware i just about to alight on the track a* the train drew near. Their number was so great that the sky waa completely til ltd with them, and those above pressing | down on the lower strata forced thorn to dight ou the car top*.. The engine, ten der, and can wr* covered with the | fowls, and some even clung to the bars ■f the cow catcher. One stately swan had a wing injured in the crush, aud found a resting place on the head light, from whence he was taken by th* engi neer. Tbo bird, however, managed to escape from custody near Ferry, and jumping from the tender where he had l>eeu tied, disappeared in the gnu*. The raid continued several uuuutea. quite a number of thenerial army being run over by the train, and some half a dosen be ing captured by passengers and employ era. As soon as the birds on top of tk* flock began to realize the situation they soared away, followed by the cut ire covey. Livingston myn it was the biggest crowd of dead-heads that ever tried to board his train. FotrxD Ihuo tx His BCT>.— ln these latter days, the above heading spjaan in tlie daily papers with btartling and impressive freoueucy. There seems hi be no |mrt of the country which is ex empt from ;he sudden visitation of death, in the remotest hamlets, as well us hi the most crowded cities, people who at evening retire to rest in seeming health, sre found dead in their lied in the morn ing. It is little cause for wonder that one whose lied is a heap of rags in tbe basement of a tenement house m the slums of New York, should be found dead in it. The wonder is that any one should ever lie found alive in a lair that so roeks with the atmosphere of death. But it is startling and incongruous that one whose couch is spread beneath the roof of a farm-house* among New Eng land hills, or on some breezy prairie oi the West, and who had gone to rest full of robust life, should be found -lead in his lied. But so it is. The end cometh in sn hour that no man kboweth, on the hill side and in the valley, a* well a* in the crowded mart, and in the alwidrs of virttire a* well as in the haunts of vice. Orators often thrill their hear ers by pictnriug the power of theOieisrs, who oouUl lay their iron hand upon a fugitive though he fled to the uttermost parts of the earth ; but Death has a long er and a surer hand than was vouchsafed to the Roman emperors, and n touch beneath which the last of the t'swars was himself long r-iuee found dead in hif lied.— L-'lqer. CRIME IN NEW YORK. —The carnival of crime, it is hardly exaggeration to say, never rnn so high in New York ss it has dono for the last month. The police calendar is fairly filled with mnrdera and suicides, A jealous husband in Orchard street, whose wife hail deserted his lied und board, stabbed her fourteen times, with fiendish malignity, plunged liis knife into the side of her paramour, and finally killed himself in the aame way. A shooting affray in Christie street fortunately terminated without any fatality, while a man was beaten to death in Houston street by a gang of mnrdervrs. Letters by various unfortunates who have taken Talis green, jumped into the river, or otherwise wound up their careers tell the same story of destitution and desorliou.— N. T. Pnptr, The Bangor Commereial says that at a prayer meeting heid in a church not far from thnt city, recently, a gentleman placed his hat in theaise beside his seat, and was greatly surprised upon seeing it take s start and follow a lady down the aisle, being caught in her dress. He immediately got down on his hands and knees and went for the hat, but every time he put his hand out to got it the lady took a step forward and it was kept just out of his renah, and he did not get it till he had gone the full length of the aisle; by this time the audience were in s titter, and he took his stov pip* and went out in a hurry Locusts are so thick near Frankfort, Ky., that farmers drive the hogs under th J fruit trees, and shake the insects i)mu. for them to devour, The fishing Disaster.

While this fleet lay to. as a last effort to survive the wild north-eastern hurricane that roared and ruled around them, many tossing craft* cut down each other, and one lesrful instance is recorded wperein a vcaed, driven on an iceberg,by a .huge sua, bill back with a, mighty Ash upon a brtg, the Twin Sis ters, which lay beneath the berg. A large number of men were instantly crushed to death, and the Twin Sisters i asa literally burst in two. The readonly BfU-en out of ninety-eight, clung to the j broken spurs, and w ere by chance picked up by the crew of the Itetnevcr.

An Atwrnn CYxro*.—lf I could por wnede all the voting people of Eimita never to In at each nthei, nor be treated, I think on* half of tbe danger from our strong drink would bo gone. If f can not get you to fbgti the total abstinence pledge, binding until you aro twenty-five, 1 would be gl.Hl to hove you promise throe tilings: First never to drink on 4e sly, alons; second, never todrink social ly, treating or being treated; Uord, when you drink, do it openly, and in the pros ' euce of aouie man or w otpan whom vou rosjiect. Now, boys, if you wish to be generous and treat each other, why not select some other shop tie-side the liquor shop? Huppnee, as you go by tbo post office, y*m say, "Gome, bovs, come in and take aome stamps." These stamps will do yowr friends a real good, and will eovt yon no more than drinks all ronnd. Or go by the tailor's store and say: " Boys, come in and bavo a box of col lars." Walk up to tbe counter, free and generous, and say, "What stylo will you have I" Why not treat to collars as well as treat to drinks? or go by a con fectioner's and propose to treat to cboc olßte drops all round? or say, "I'll stand a jack-knife all around?" How does it hnppen that we have fallen into a habit, almost compulsory, of social drinking? Yon drink many a time when asked to, when really you do not wnnt to. When u man has treated you, you feci mean and indebted, And beep sort of account current in your mind, and treat him. And RO in the use of just that agent, which at the verv best is a dangerous one, you join hsntl in hand to help each oilier to ruin instead of hand in hand to help each other to temperance.— T.

Wheat, particularly Fall, is looking badly in many localities, and in some comities they are plowing up the wheat fields and planting thaui m corn.
