A Match not made in Heaven.
My mother was rletermlncil I slioukl
" mako a good match," nrxi on slioit
notice she married tne to n Mpxlcan,
Don Pedro Aiders, ono reputed (or lm
incase wealtli-a lion at tiaratojo,
where we first met.
He wore diamonds enough tor a
firinee'M rnnsom, and letters ot redlt
were unllinlteit.
My mother Informed mo her " mind
was made," the day we returned to
Now York. Six inouUis later I was
tho wife of Dmi Pedro Aldc20, and had
Accompanied lilm to his native land.
To my surprise, after spending a
fewidays I u each of several Mexican
cities, Including tho capital, Don Ped.
ro had conveyed me to a lonely hacien
da, situated on the broad, wild elopo
that it retches Inland toward the moun
tain regions.
IIo told mo this was a temporary res
Idencu until some, tcpalrs. could be
mado upon his ancestral palace, to fit
Itformy abode.
1 made no objections to this plan,
lonely aud monotonous as it was, for
(hn truth ten Ihn llttlfl lnvn I hnd (fit
for my husbind had ere this been lost1
lu the intense but mysterious tear witn
which lie Inaplred me.
No thought of disputing his will en
tered my mind, and life seemed but a
bheer dead monotony ot selt-eacrlQce
at the early age of an eighteenth birth
day. But as the week3 grew into months,
I began to question why wu did not re
move from tho mdo hacienda. I had
no books, do newspapers, no letters',
aud my only resort was the final quean
lion.
aVy only answer was a slow lifting
of the (ringed eyelids, and ono of the
lurid, baleful glances that always drove
me dumb with terror. Never again did
I allude to tho palace, nor did I over
behold It.
1 was much alono In the hacienda ;
few travelers ever visited us ; my only
society beinj; halt breed servants, a dir
ty, Iguorant.aiiualld set.sunk In tho low
est depth of social degratlon. My hus
band would mount his horse and ride
away over the plains, and often days
would elaise befoie his return, and
then sometimes lie wonld appear follow
ed by a numerous reutluo ot travelers,
as be Informed me, whom he would
feast at that distant portion ot the
atraggllng hacienda set apart as the
dwelling place for his retainers, where
the loul dUcordanco of tbelr revelry
would make tho night hideous to my
cars.
Oue day when iio was absent two
travelers stopped at the dooc of the
building, and aMted for toed. I saw
thorn an they nrrlved, and something
lamiliar in their air and gait attracted
my attention. The servants, whoseem
ed to knew them well, set food before
them, which presently I saw them eat
ing lu the open air within the court.
Aa I looked memory strengthened,
and I knew them fur a couple of vile
fellows who hud annoyed uie nl Sara
toga two years before, and with whom
1 had seen Don Pedro cnnverslng.They
loltereit about all day, as 1 learned, lor
my husband's return.
At uightta'l he came, and ho held a
long conversation with them, even be
tuie became to greet me.
As the moon rose they galloped out
ot the court mounted on two of my
husband's best horses, aud struck
btraigbt actoia tho plain.
1 saw my husband watching tile, as

strange vlsltorc.
All the next day he wandered about
tho place, moody and sullen, aud evi
dently brooding over bitter thoughts.
Some crisis lu my late, I felt, drew
nigh.
My suspicions long active, but
vaguii -now rested ou tho tact of his
fellowship with those piowliug villians
who had just lett us.
That mysterious fellowship was
enough to brand him with criuie,lliougti

;lt inldulght the tr.uip ot horses
and jlugliug ot bells was heard, and
amid the furious yelping ot dogs, a
party rode Into the court.
My husband arost, and went out to
meet his guests. X detected auiout: the

My husband returned and leigned

My brenktat was brought to my
room, aud when 1 round 1 would hnvu
gone forth, 1 found myself a prisoner.
The long, weary day passed at last
and the huulble night came ou.
My husband did not preseut himself,
but lis voice wus he.ua uitugliug with
tho revels,
Jidnight came and all was hushed,
1 could uut alecp, aud wrapped secure
ly t a durk shawl, I sat at uiy window

night,
I IiMl sat thus an hour when low
voice attracted my attention. Oue I
detected my hutband's voice; the otli.
er'n woman'?, unfamiliar tn my ear,
and hoaue, as If the speaker struggled
U repress 6omi profound emotion.
" Why did you oome?" I heard my
huiliand hav. "I fin hid ynu, and If
Helena should learn this, she would
provo troublesome, patient and subdu
ed as 6bo appears." '
"So you have crushed the white
bird's wings, havo you Pedro J" Tho
woman answered. "Ton well know
how to perform Mich feats."
Ha ha 1 Well said ; but you' will
go at r.oon will you not?"
"Oh, noi 1 must remain one day
more. I have come so (ar and waited
so long to see you."
" But Helena "
"Oh, I pity her I I must stay, but
I pity her."
" You need not, I tiro ot tho puny,
pale, spiritless creature. She'll die
como day disappear as many others
have done ; and then you shall como
back and reign sole mistress."
" What I stain that pearly skin, .with
her Ufa blood ?"
" Ila- ha i Who, I say, can stand m
my path, when I wish tnecn removed ?
liut hist I yonder Is her window speak

And they moved on, whl6 I, sick
with horror, crawled to my couch, to
lie and think shudderlngly what I had
heard.
" Hist hist 1"
There surely my name was, whlspsr
ed under tho window. I crept through
tho lattice A note was pushed through
tho jalousies, and a dark figure gilded
away. , . i
H turned at a distance, and tho rays
of tho moon fell upon au uplifted ' face.
Oh, horror 1 It was the faco bt it' Cu
ban lady, whom also I had seen at
baratogo, n reigning belle at Ilia tlmo I
met my husband. r
When tho first dawn of mornjug ap
peared, I read my note.
"I am a woman like yourself, It Is
said, and ooce I was innocent. Rut
now I am guilty and would risk much
to win back tho devil you call husband.
Be ready to morrow at midnight', and I
will aid your escape from this den ot
robbers and send you to your frionds."
How the hours dragged on in their
Interminable length. Presently at
midnight my door swung silently open.
I followed the dark figure to whero
our spirited animals were tied,, and In
the deep stillness of night wo sped, with
arrow-like' swiftness over tho plain.

Salt and Chinch Bugs.
A writer from Kansas to the Rural
says : " One man showed ino 'two
pieces of wheat, one of whloh was hard
ly worth cutting, while lieothfi,rt tight
along side of It, was as 'good as could
bo desired, ne said the only reason bo
could give for It was that previous! to
sowing tho latter ptoce ho.soaked tho
seed in strong; brine, to get oats, out. of
It, and as the bugs' commenced working
at the roots they had been kept oft 'by
the little salinu m&ttcr that adhered) to
the grain. (
Another roan said he had five acres
of Spring wheat that bugs,werq work
ing on very bidly, and thought ho
would risk a barrel of salt on it at
least ; lie sowed the salt broadcast' over
tho ground, and lu a tow days' time
not a bug could bu seen, and his wheat
como on and made a great deal' better
crop by tho application of Isalt than it
would have been, even though the .bugs
had kept away. Other "Ideas" ivero
put Into execution, but with' 'no good
result. "
I havo said that I noticed the ravages
of the bugs everywhere I went ibiit I
will except the salt district fit themo
ky Hill Valley, whero their presuuee
was hardly, If at all perceplablo.'Tak.
Ing all these things Into consideration,
It seems to toe to be a very ratlouat con.,
elusion that salt will either kill or drive
the chinch Dugs away frqm crops on
which it Is applied.
