DARKEST BEFORE DAWN. Locust Cottage was deserted. The auction was over, and the buyers had de• parted, bearing with them to their several houses the pretty furniture, the orna ments, the graceful little nicknacks that had once made this home so much pleas anter than others. Every room was dismantled, every wall was bare, save one. In a small parlor at the southern end of the house nothing had been touched. A neat carpet of crimson and green "three ply" covered the floor, and the windows were shaded by damask curtains of the same color, looped up in graceful folds, and held back from the clean panes by clasping hands of gold. In the jet black grate a fire was laid neatly, just ready for lighting ; and the shaded lamp, its companion for the cozy evening hours, stood on a round table, with a crimson cover, drawn up before the hearth. On either side of this table stood a temptinglooking easy chair, with footstool to match. The recess of one window ac commodated a pretty sewing-table and low chair, and a cottage piano, with a carved music-stand beside it, filled the remaining side of the wall. On the other side of the room, exactly opposite the piano, was a tall bookcase with glass doors, mounted on a kind of secretary, and well furnished with stand ard volumes, whose bright bindings were a pleasant sight to see. A few good pictures, and one or two pretty statuettes and busts completed the decoration of this room which, in its beau tiful order of arrangement, bore traces of a woman's hand. • The woman herself, however, was only present by prosy. That is to say, her picture over the mantel-piece represented her, and had done so for some six months past, during which time her voice and smile had ceased to make music for her husband in their once happy home. Dead No ; alive and well, and likely to remain so for many years! But gone ? Yes; gone from her own lawful shelter and refuge, in a moment's anger, and longing to return, and ready to return, but for her foolish pride, every hour and moment of every day and night that had seen them parted. Pride was Ada llarrison's besetting sin, and stubbornness, which he called firmness, was the great fault of her hus band's character. Between the two, as they were both young and fiery, and hasty, they had man aged to make shipwreck of the happiness of their lives. The young wife was at her father's house, some twenty miles away. The young husband had made, with one scrape of his pen, a clean sweep of all that be longed to their married existmee, with the exception of the furniture of this one small room. With the sum thus realized, he inten ded to start on the morrow for California —for Austraa—or any place in fact wnere streng.tn ane courage anct reek-led impulse might work together to win a for tune—for whom ? lle was asking himself this question somewhat bitterly on this evening of the auction. The money which hadbeen paid to him for his "household gods," was ly ing on the table in a glittering heap, and he was separating it into two equal parts, pushing it to and fro, with an absent ex pression, as he gazed up at the portrait of his faithless bride. Dashing his hand across his eyes, Rich ard Harrison went and opened it, starting back the next moment, and looking as if he wished himself a thousand miles away. For there, bat in hand, stood a noble looking old man of sixty—Ada's father, with Ada's own straight features, and large blue eyes, and waving, silky hair ! Involuntarily, the young man looked out into the hall over his father-in-law's shoulder, .as if expecting to see another and a slighter form lingering in the twi light on the threshhold of its deserted home. But the hall was empty, and Mr. Ma ulers came in and shut the door behind him, and held out his hand in friendly greeting, as if he had not noticed that yearning, questioning look. "I only heard of this two days ago, Richard," said he, in a hearty, kindly voice, "just after the sale was announced. I nlll sorry for it, very, very sorry. Why didn't you apply to me, my boy, if you were pressed for money ? You know, or at least you ought to know, that for your own sake, setting everything else aside, I would help you out of any difficulty exact ly as I would help a son of my own." The kindness, the familiar voice, the warm pressure of the hand, and the friendly, concerned expression on the old man's handsome face, i.ere all too much for Richard in this hour of loneliness and despair. He muttered something, he scarcely knew what, and turned away. "Is everything sold ?" asked Mr. Ma mers, when he was more composed. "Everything, sir." "And who is to take these things ?" inquired the old gentleman, glancing round the room. "I—l kept them," stammered Richard, turning red. "For yourself ?" "Yes. Perhaps I ought to send them to your daughter—to Ada, I mean. But they are all that I have left of what was once one of the happiest homes on earth, and I do not feel as if I could part with them." "Hum ! Ha! And shall you live here, Richard ?" "No," said the young man, looking sur prised. "Did not your informant tell you that I was going away ?" "That is imprudent—is it not, my boy?" "How so, sir ?" "You have a good business here." "The business is sold too, sir." "Indeed ! May I ask what you intend to do now, Richard ?" "I am going to California first. If Ido not like there, I may sail for Australia, and my stay there will depend entirely upon my success." "Going into business there, Richard ?" "Yes, sir." "The same kind ?" 0 ..1 O. CD al "I suppose so, sir." Mr. Mamers walked up and down the room a few times, with his hands clasped behind his back. HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1875. "But you can scarcely carry this furni ture with you for so great a distance." he began. "It will be carefully packed and left here in charge of a friend, who has kindly offered me a room in his house for that purpose," replied the young man—"all but the portrait. I shall take that with me, wherever I go. If I should die abroad, it will be sent back to you." "Die !" They both glanced up at the laughing, sparkling face of the bright little blonde, who seemed to smile gayly down upon them. "Ada has lost something of that happy expression since you two parted," said the old man, gently. "But if you should die while in a foreign land, my boy, no one would ever see a smile on that sweet face again." "Do you really think she would care, sir ?" asked Richard, huskily. "See. I have been dividing the money that this sale has brought. With the sum that I have received for the business, it will make a little nest-egg for her and for me. Give it to her, if you please, when you go home to-morrow, and tell—tell her—" He paused. The old man did not touch the money, but kept his eyes fixed upon his son•in-law's face. "Tell her," continued Richard, with an effort, "that I will send her more money from abroad, as soon as I light upon a vein of luck. There ware many little luxuries in:thQ way of dress, equippage, and amusements, that she longed for, while she was here. I could not always give them to her, then, for I was just be ginnin,c' business, and my little capital seem ed to be needed in a thousand ways. But if I once succeed out yonder, she shall nev er have cause to complain again. I care nothing for the money, except to throw it at her feet." 'She would give all the gold of Califor nia for her old place in your heart, my boy," said Mr. Mamers, wiping his eyes. "Nothing can comfort her, now that she knows you no longer love her." ? Who told her that? I do love her; and shall love her till I die :" ex claimed his son-in-law, warmly. "Yet, in all these six months of separa tion you have never cared to see her, al though she lives but a day's journey away. You have never even written to her, or to me." "Dear sir—father, if I may call you so, for this last time," said the young man, taking him by the hand—"on the day of our parting, almost the last words Ada said to me were, that she never wish ed tto see my face or hear my voice again." "And have you never said anything to her or to others, when you were angry, that you would g . ive the world to recall when anger was at an end?" Richard hung his head. "Yes. Often — and often. There were things that I said to 'her that day that have sounded in my ears ever since.— Bat it is now too late to atone for them." "Perhaps not, my son." _ "I think so. These thingsonce packed, riaii at once lot Luc tuna Ur gulu. IL, 15 possible she may forgive me when I am so her away." "At all events, you can send Ada a mes sage by me," suggested Mr. Maulers. "True. Tell her then how much I re gret these cruel speeches of mine on that last day. Tell her that I lied when I said I did not love her. Tell her that my life ever since she went out yonder door, has been made up of nothing but penitence and regret. At last I could endure it no longer. I would have gone to her—l would have told her this myself—l would have asked her pardon on my knee 3," said Richard, excitedly, "only I thought she would spurn me away. And yet you say that she loves me still ! If I had known in time this home would never have gone. I kept this room to the last, half hoping all the time that Ada might come back.— But it is too late now—far too late ! I am a ruined man ! I am a beggar ! Thank God she is safe in your home and under your care, where she will want for noth• ing. Poor Ada! When we were first married—yes, and for many months after we came to this house, I was just as hap py with her as the clays were long. Poor, poor girl ! It would have been better, perhaps, if she had never met me, since it must all end like this." He laid his head down upon his folded arms beneath his wife's picture. The door of the parlor opened a second time, and a lovely lady glided noiselessly across the floor, bearing a sleeping infant in her arms. One glance from her face to that of the portrait would have been sufficient to re veal the secret of .her identity to any stranger. The child upon her breast had the dark hair and level brows of his father, and eyes like his, that were now closed in a quiet slumber. Motioning his daughter into the window recess, where the damask curtains temporarily concealed her, Mr. Mainers laid his hand on Richard's shoul der, saying, kindly : "My dear boy, if you would go to Ada now, you would find her more willing to receive you than she ever was before.— These sixmonths of pain and separation have taught her how much she loves you. Come, do not be so downcast. Go with me to my home if you do not care to go on living here ; get other goods and chattels about you, in the place of those that have been 'Asociated with your quarrels and unhap piness ; take back your business, and with me to assist you, and Ada to love and cherish you, be a man again, and do a man's work here in the place where you were born, and among the friends who have always known you. Let California swallow up the waifs who have no home or friends; yours are both here, and do not wish to spare you." "If I had a fortune to give Ada, if I had this home once more which I have so dismantled in my trouble, I would accept your offer," said Richard, dejectedly.— "But if she was discontented before, when I was a hundred times better off than I am now, what will she be when she knows me to be a beggar, without even a com fortable roof to cover her head ? No, sir ; let me go and seek for gold, as I have planned. If Ada cares for me—nay, even if she does not positively hate me—l shall have all the encouragement I need to labor. One year, or at the most two, and then, if God spares my life, I will return to her, and try to give her a home far hap pier than the ono that I have lost for her to-day." "Richard," said his father-in-law, "the home is yours—now—at this moment. The auction has been nothing but a blind, for your friends, seeing you so determined on dismantling the place, as you say, sent ti dings to me, and bought the things np to day only to restore them to you to-morrow. Your business will be your own once more on the condition that you take the new purchaser as your partner—a change that I recommend heartily, as he is an honest and energetic young man, with a large amount of capital unemployed. For the rest, since all my arguments have failed to pursuade you, listen to this one, and tell me what answer you will give." lie stepped back and lifted the curtain from the window. Richard, looking up, saw only Ada, and fell at her feet with a cry from the depths of his heart, fur for giveness, and for love once more. But she, kneeling down beside him, drew away the kerchief from her bosom with a heavenly smile, and showed him the infant nestling there. ' , We can never quarrel again, love," she said, placing her arm around his neck, and drawing his cheek down beside the child's, so that her lips might touch them both in one fond kiss. "My wife—my child !" said Richard, in an awe-struck tone ; "and I thought myself deserted and alone in the world. I had even thoughts of suicide floating through my mind, in my despair. Oh, Ada, for give we, and pray to God for me, that I may be a husband and a father, such as your sweet love deserves. My wife—my child !" he repeated again, and bending his face down upon her shoulder, he burst into tears. Before twenty-four hours had passed by, their pretty cottage smiled the old welcome to friend and neighbor once mon. A happier home than Locust Cottage you will scarcely fitml in the world; for, warned by the sufferings of the past, its inmates set a guard upon their hearts and lips, never forgetting how near they came to shipwrecking their peace forever, in that darkest hour that heralds the second dawn of faith and love ! fpr the Crops in the Northwest. Summary of Reports of Wheat, Corn, Oats and Barley—Ravages of Grass hoppers and Other Pests. The Western Rural has collected a large amount of information about the crops in the Northwest, which it publishes in this week's edition. The following is a sum mary : Wit Pat.—The reports clearly indicate that the acreage of wheat this year in the Western States is much less than last year. Thus, in Illinois, hut three reports cat° an increased acreage, while twice as many show but one-half as much, or even less. In Wisconsin no reports show an increase, but two an equal acreage, while some show not more than one-half. In lowa nearly the same condition is shown. In Michigan the acreage was not materially reduced. In some of the newer states increased acreage is reported. As to condition, the reports are not unfavora hie, a majority of all indicating at least average condition Michigan makes a poor showing, Illinois stands well, Wis consin and lowa very large, _but the gen clic! verag„c tif nut - uaa. - Corn.—Undoubtedly the acreage planted in the West was larger than in any former year. In Illinois no report slums less acre age than last year, and an increase of twenty or twenty-five per cent. In lowa the same is true, with several reports of an increase of fifty per cent. Wisconsin is not a great corn State, but shows an in crease of at least twenty-five per cent. in acreage. Michigan and Missouri also show a considerable increase. The reports of condition are not so good as is desired. but it is probable that many of the unfa vorable reports indicate lateness of the crop rather than bad condition. Otherwise, bearing in mind the comparative quanti• ties given in the different States, our re• ports show a prospect, at the middle of June, of about four•fifths an average crop. Ones.—The average in oats is consider ably increased over tat of last year, and the general prospect is of at least a full average crop. gives several re ports of less than an average condition. Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa, etc., in nearly all cases showing good prospects. Barley.—lllinois shows a reduced acre age; lowa, Wisconsin and• Nebraska an increase. The prospect for the crop as a whole is below average. Insects.—ln very few cases is an increase of injury from insects, compared with last year, reported. Of course this does not in clude the grasshopper districts, but there arc many more cases in which grasshoppers have done less injury, than where they have done more, than last year. Chinch and potato bugs are very plentiful in many places, but as a whole, not so numerous as last year. It is cause for rejoicing that, although there are few regions in which some crop does not make a poor showing, in a number of localities most crops look up promising. The general crop prospect, especially in Illinois, Michigan, lowa, Kansas, Mis souri and Nebraska, is of an aggregate full average yield of the great farm staples. A Palace of Silence. Away up on the bill that overlooks Naples stands the Carthusian monastery of San Martino. The monks who inhabited the glorious palace—for it is nothing less —were men of noble birth and vast for tune. The church is now one of the most magnificent in Italy. Agate, jasper, lapislazuli, amethyst, Egyptian granite and fbssil wood, together with marble of every tint, are so blended in mosaics that line the whole edifice, and the carvings are so rich and graceful that the interiors of s,..ne of the chapels seem like Eden bowers transfixed by a miracle and frozen into stone. And in this spot lived a broth erhood who came from the first circles of society and buried themselves in this gorgeous tomb, for it was little else. The monks took a vow of perpetual silence, lived apart, ate apart, and met only for the unsociable hours of pray, r, when each was wrapped in his own meditation, and no one uttered a syllable. Each of the little cells where they slept had a small window or closed, communicating with one o!' the corridors, and in this closet was placed toe' frugal meal which was then taken into the cell and eaten in solitude. Every quarter of an hour a bell struck, to remind the listeners that they were so much nearer to their death. In the garden the rail ings are ornamented with marble skulls, and the only sounds that used to disturb this splendid solitude were the tread of handaled feet, the rustle of long, white robes, or the clang of the bells that tolled off their solemn lives in brief moments, that yet might have seemed long to them. These monks, like most others in Italy, have been driven from their retreat, and all their treasures confiscated by Victor Emanuel. Mr. Coffin's Spelling Match. THE OLD LADY PETS HIM DOWN WITH ONP OF lIF.R -ATRI !NO Ell- FECTS. The other evening old Mr. and Mrs. Coffin, who live on Brush street, sat in their cosy back parlor, he reading the pa per and she knitting., and the family cat stretched out under the stove. and sighed and felt sorry for cats not so well fixed.— It was a happy, contented honscheld, and there was love in his heart as Mr. Coffin put down his newspaper and remarked : "I see that the whole country is becom ing excited about spelling schools." "Well, it's good to know how to spell," replied the wife. "I didn't have the chance some girls had, hut I pride myself that I can spell almost any word that comes along." "I'll see about that," he laughed ; - come now. spell 'buggy.' " • umph ! that's nothing —b-u-g-g-y, buggy," she replied. •'Missed the - first time—ha! ha!" be roared, Napping his leg. "Not much—that was right. - "It was, ? Well, I'd like to see auy• body get two g's in buggy. I would." "But it's spelled with two g's and any schoolboy will tell you so. " she per sisted.

"Don't talk that way to me ?" he warn ed. •'And don't shake your fist at me :" 'he warned. "Who's a shaking his fist ?" "You were "That's a lie—an infernal lie "Don't call me a liar you old bazaar !

"Git down on yer knees and be : .; my pardon. you old wild cat !" he replied. They surged and swayed and struggled. and the peaceful cat was struck by the overturning table and had her back bro ken, while the clock fell down and the pictures danced around. The w)rnan finally, shut her husband's supply of air off and flopped him, and she bumped his his head up and down on the floor, and scattering his gray hairs she shonted: "You want to get up anntl , r spelling school with me, don't you ?" He was seen limping around the yard yesterday, a stocking pinned around his throat, and she had court plaster on her nose, and one finger tied up.

Considering that so many women of the middle classes are obliged to pass a great portion of their time in the kitchen, why not make it an attractive apartment. rather than stow away in the basement, or in some dark corner of the house, as now too fre quently done ? Most houses display pleas ant sitting rooms; but if we judge of the conveniences and general pleasantness of the kitchen by the rooms in the front of the house, we find in many instance.. we utter ly fail in our conjectures. To make a lit tle show in company-rooms, how many ae• tual kitchen comforts are denied in many households ! In the first place, every kitchen should be prettily grained and pa pered. A little pain - ,and paper work makes such a transformation. why not have them iu the kitchen and deny ourselves luxury in the front part of the house, if we can't have both ? A coat or two of whitewash is desireble twice a year, for looks and cleanliness. A large stove or range is indispensible, even in a small fam ily. in order to do the cooking properly. As it has been proved by physicians that the health of a family is sensibly influenced by the quality of fool it consumes, this question of cookery jo by no means an un important one. What cook can place a perfect dinner on the table if she has not all the conveniences necessary to produce so desirable a result" It is suroly better to commence our housefurnishing at the kitchen, and work towards the front as w? arc able.

Surely the health of the household. and the comfort of the house-mother. should be placed above all other conaidera. tinns. Asked God to Help Her. The Danville (Va.) Advocate says : • A n interesting daughter of Professor 0.. of this city, last summer, in eating a water mellon. got one of the seeds lodged in her windpipe. The effort was made to dis lodge it., but proved ineffectual, and it was thought that the child would have to be taken to one of the large cities to have an operation performed by a skillful surgeon. To this she was decidedly opposed, and pleaded with her mamma to tell her if there was no other way of relief. Finally, in order to quiet her childish fears, her Christian mother told her 'to ask God to help her.' The little one went into an adjoining room, and shortly thereafter came running to her mamma with the seed in her hand and her beautiful and intelligent face lighted up with joy. In response to the eager inquiry of the moth er, the little one said she had asked God to help her, and while she was praying she was taken with a severe cough, in which she threw up the seed."
