" Fifteen hundred dollars. That

iron a nioment on its stand, and
looking across the wide, pleasant
kitchen, where her sister was bend

"It might' just as well be fifteen
thousand," replied Sue, not stopping
fluting. "Father said last- night,
that he had tried the last place he .
could think about. I suppose the
old place has got to go.
. Kate lifted her iron and went to'
work; but the great tears, lykinded
her so, that she left the flat restia_

Her sister shook her' head. "It
would be like all our oilier plans—
they fall through just as - we think
they are nicely fixed."
" If old Mr. Green was a bachtllOr
now, : l would try and captivate him,
if he is old enough to be my grand
father,and deaf as an adder." Trouble
was banished for a moment from
Katie's heart as a vision of the old
gentleinau rose up before her, and
she laughed so heartily that her
mother came to the door,lber pale
face lighting a little at the sight of
Katie's merry one.
"'What is the matter, girls?"
Plan the sixtieth," cried Kate,
getting up from the floor, where she
had diopped , a moment before. "Sue
hastheen wishing Alr. Green was un
married, so that. she might captivate
him and save the place."
The mother smiled faintly. "

" The old* -wretch: I wish I could

flashed. •
"Yon would have said something
you would have been sorry for. It
won't do to snub such people. I
think welnust give up all hope of

were talking about the West last

Prolonged oh's from both the girls
stopped Mrs. Vaughn there, had
each pretty head before her shook
emphatically at the thought. " I
know what you mean," said Sue, " a
new - farm, and bard woik. It will
never do." •
Katie sat down in the door that
opened in the orchard, and her
mother took her place at the ironing
board. There was a silence then.;
each heart was busy with its own bit
ter thoughts. Mrs. Vaughn was
thinking of the long years she had
spent under this homestead roof
since she came there a bride. Each
room was dear by its many associa
tions, of both joy and sorrow. How
very hard it 'seemed to be torn away
from it. The girls thoughts were
about the same. The dear old hoine;
what would life
_hold for them when
they could no longer come to its shel
ter ? zA,),
; Katie sat looking tit the old trees,
that were literally weighed down
with their garlands of blossoms. Her
father had said the day before that
there would be a great many apples
this year; and a pang had gone thro'
the hearts of those who heard, as
they thought that other hands than
theirs would gather the luSeioits
fruit. Then she thought of the past.
Why, it seemed but a little while
since she and Lillie Harding, girls of
fifteen, climed those very trues. But
it was five years ago, when Lillie
spent the summer in the country for
her health. She was a fashionable
young lady in New York now. 'Judge
Harding, Lillie'e father, was
.very ,
wealthy., She remembered their ele=
gant home, for she returned' Lillie's
visit in winter. Judge -Harding -walt

turned suddenly, her !ace raidiant
with a sudden, happy thought. .

" What a question, Bit," said Sue,
frapatiently. " Yon know we would
do almost anything. Bat who,l

dollars for a week's work?"
" Just let me go to New York to

you to return with it. You remem

a I bawd Mr. Brown ssy be was
going to-morrow to buy goods," said
" There, mother, you cannot say
no. Think how baffled the Greens
must be. I must go;" and she dart
ed up stairs to make preparations,
flinging her magnificent voice out in
to a song that seemed composed for
the ocossion.7 There was another
plan in Katie's head, that she did
not think necessary to unfold just
then. She knew that her voice wag
sweat and powerful. A cousin who
had taken lessons of a fine muter
had imparted to her all that she had
learned, so that it was by no means
uncultured. A few more lessoni
would Make her independent, and
summer boarders could accomplish
this. It - was a very hopeful girl
that found her way into New York
the next day. She was determined
to succeed.
Judge Harding sat inlis inner of
fice talking with a friend. This friend,
Allan Thurston, bad just returned,
browned and bearded, from a foreign
tour, and was making his first call,
on returning to his native city, on
the Judge, who, although older than
himself, wasilp his firmest - friend.
Years before,when Allan Thurston, a
poor .boy ; was trying to work his way
up, fie attracted the - Judge's atten
tion, and he befriended the lad in a
manner the latter never forgot. He
studied in his office until admitted
to the bar s and when at last he was
ready to practice, Dame Fortune
suddenly smiled upon him, and sent
him a fortune from over the sea, or
rather sent him over the sea to get
it. This was several years before,
and it was his first return after' his
travels. They were discussing this
same fortune this morning,and Allen
was saying that, although ho la&
enough to support himself in idle
ness, as he breathed'once more his
native air, the old' spirit of.-industrY
came back. In the fall he should
commence„-to practice, if the Judge
would take him into partnership.
Before tho Judge 'could reply, he
was summoned into the outer office,
and telling Allan to wait, he passed
out leaving the door a little ajar.
Eatie Vaughn rose trembling - from
her chair as he approached, for she
saw that he did not recognize her;
and for the first time she realized
the nature Of - her errand. She al
most wished she had not come.- But
when she mentioned her name, he
greeted her so cordially that she
soon became„quite like herself, and
in reply to his kind - inqiiiri - es about
the ones at home, she told her story.
Not in the fine speech which she had
planned on her way down that morn
ing—ghat was all forgotten. But I
doubt not that the simple, earnest
way in which she told it, was more
touching thttin the prepared klpeeeli
would have qui. There NS as I) wild
appeal for his sympathy; she tried
to treat it as a matter of business,
and except for the chokin ,, sob that
would come when she spoke of her
father and mother, she succeeded
admirably. There was a heart ache
in her voice then, that brought the
moisture to the eyes of the Judge,
and also. the unseen listener, who
could not help but hear every word
she said. Then, in answer to a few
more questions, she told their plans
for the summer, and her own little
plan, that she had hitherto kept to
herself. " Wait here-s moment and I
will see m hat,l can do for.you," said
he, rising and goatg into the inner
office, closing the door.
" You heard what that little girl
has been telling me."
" Every word."
"I am glad you did. I know it is
the truth, and I know, also, that I
cannot raise the money for her to
day. Thurston, you brought money
home with you to invest ; le(,- me
have that amount to give her, and I
assure you that it will bo paid. There
is more vim and energy in that girl
than all the other Vanglins pat to
gether."
" Can you ask me if I will,. After
hearing her? Take her home to
dinner with you, and I will leave the
money there. She 'need not know
but that it. is your. As for the
summer boarders, I wonder if they
will take me as one?"
4 'l was just thinking that it would
be a good place for my wife and Lil
lie. Then there are the Edgertons—
I,think we could get them quite a
party."
So, Katie dined with the Hardings
that day, and found Lillie, as she ex
pected, a fashionable young lady,
rather disposed to patronize her. She
Was willing to spend the summer in
the country, when she found that
Allan Thurston was going, and pri
vately tried to' Make Katie under
stand that he was her particular
friend. Katie, who sat holding the
money that had just been given her,
cared but little about it. She felt a
little selfish just then. - What were
lovers to her? The dear old home
was saved. It was dusk the next
evening when she reached home, and
-looking through the windows as she
stepped on the porch, she saw the
family assembled in the sitting room;
and with them, Mr. and Mrs. Green.
She heard her father say, in his slow,
troubled way, I thought there was
a week longer, neighbor Green, but
it may be that I was mistaken."
" Time's up to-night," snapped
Mrs. Green, not giving her husband
a chance to reply. "If you 've got,
the Money, all right; if not, we will
take measures to-morrow to have the
place sold.- It won't bring us much
more than you owe us, and we're go
in to bid it in ourselves. I want to
get all moved and settled before
Sarah-Jane comes to visit."
She looked around, as if erappoting
some one to speak. Katie kit for
the precious paekage, and, drawing
it forth, stepped forward into the
light, and laid it upon the table be
fore them; and requesting old Mr.
Green to count the notes . she held
out her hand for the mortgago,which
Mrs. Green reluctantly gavo up,glar
ing at her as she did so as if she
walla llke to annihila,te her on the
spot. "Kate Vaughn, I must say I
think you haie taken a great deal
upon yourself. Where did you get
that money ? " •
"Mrs. Green; I think you have
taken full as much upon yourself. It
r 1 F f 3,

is none of your businese 'okra got
that money." Then, as the door
closed upon the baffled fir, . the
broke- down for the first tam that
day,:and clung to her mother, cry
ing: "Mother, mother, our home a
saw-" • •
The next few. weeks 'were bray
ones at the Vaughn house. There
was much to be one before the ar
rival of their city guests.' -When
they took an inventory of their ' stock
of furniture on hand, things did not
look very encouraging. "Things
look shabby' the best way you can
fix it," said Sue, despondingly. But
Mrs. Vaughn reminded them that
their boarders would not expect to
Slid elegance in, a firm house, and if
everything Was bright, clean and
cheerful, it would be all they reason
ably expected. The middle of June
brought • them all—Mrs. Edgerton
and her daughter Nina, Mrs. Hard
ing and Lillie, Allan Thurston and
his friend Charley Hayden. •
The story of that summer cannot
be written. It meant' work for some
of the household, while the others
enjoyed only the pleasure. Katie
found time while the rest were out
roving, to practice, and went into the
city. :twice a week to take lessons.
Her progress astonished her waster,
who promised her a situation' in n
choir in the fall, with a large salary.
So, although obliged to work very
hard through all the hot, weary sum
mer days, she felt very happy.' Al!
lan Thurston had come back from
Europe with the image of -Lillie
Harding in his heart. Ho had fan
cied her girlish beauty before ke left,
but on his return he c'Jmpated her
with this earnest, loving girl he had
learned to love, and found how faint
that image was. It was soon oblit
erated, and in Its stead was the pic
ture of Katie's Grown eyes, with their
earnest, tthful gaze. No one sus
pected th iA not even-Katie, although
he sought het' sooty a great _deal.
And Lillie was so sure of the ;prize
that it never entered her head that
it was slipping from her grasp.
The summer
.was over, but they

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON TER
RFTORY.
Pont Tows . l l.itl6,. W. T., Aprit 3,•1b73:
DEAR Bserriiiic ‘,..Since 'my last, I
have been absent from Port Town
send-some time, ou a trip or cruise
into the iuteribr, which I had long
been desirous of making. According
ly, on March 17, three of us left4this
place for the purpose of seeing Ska
git river and the surrounding coun
try. Tifis is' a large river to the
northward,' having its source in the
foO-hills of Mount Bakef. Each take
our blankets, sea bread and bacon,
go aboard of a plunger, and soon
cross Admiralty Inlet six miles—
and landing - on Whidby Island. This
is a beautiful island, and quite exten
sive ; in fact it is the gaTden of the
Territory. Here we crois the island
to Penn's Cove,' and await the steam
er" Libby." Here-w 5 get our. sup
per, and just at dark a faint light in
the distance indicates her approach,
and'in a few minutes she lies along
the wharf. Wa ari) ) soon on - I=o,
the whistle sounds, and onward we
move, reaching Utsalada at 11 o'clock
at night. From• this point our course
lies up the'Swinomish Slough, a nar
row passage which kill admit the
steamer only at high tide; therefore,
we make feat until Morning. At 3
o'clock A. P., we are again on our
way, passing high, rocky islands,
bold bluffs, and low 'mud flats, in
serpentine course up the Slough, till
we reach Locona. Here we take leave
of the boat, and from the Indian
Reservation procure an Indian and
his squaw to take us up the river
with a canoe, for $1.50. Their ser-
I vices are secured, and we are soon at
the month of Skagit river, and slowly
ascending the stream, keeping close
to the banks, other.rise the swift cur
rent would wry ns back again. Af
ter four or five miles ride, we send
our Indian back, take the trail and
continue our journey on foot until
we get weary again, hire an Indian,
and thus continue until we reach the
outpost of civilization, the house of a
Mr. Eembal; here we put up. In the
morning, we take our blankets, bread
and bacon, hire a guide and proceed
into the forest to' some lake, six or
eight miles distant, no ono knew
where—railroad surveys having been
made thereabout
,one year ago. All
day long,we toil in our trail, climbing
through the brush, over logs, through
the dense forest, whose 'enormous
trees measure six to ten feet in diam
eter, and attain an altitude of two or
three hundred feet, and in many
places covered with massive trunks
and branches, and whose thick foli
age excluding the rays. of the sun tor
centuries, presents one of the most
sombre aspects I ever 'saw; for here
indeed solitude. reigns anpreme,
" where still stands the forest prime
val." But before night came this
body began to show evidence of fail
ure, by a rapid development of lame
ness in one limb, and just as old
" Sol " was creeping down behind
the Western coast, we reached a
stream and then on a high bluff, in a
solitary forest, we kindled our camp
fire, and while the/rest were collecting
wood I werit - down thestream a few
rods to catch some trout for supper ;
btit &eh imprinta-of the foot
of the man, and knowing that
the Skagit Indians were the. worst
on the Efotmd, I 'concluded I would
not fish any more, and returned with
a little uneasiness of mind, thinking
perhaps old "Spotted Tail" or some
of his tribe, might be around before
morning for head-dresses. After eat
ing of sea bread and bacon, I wrap
my blankets about me, place my pis
tOrbY. My head, ready to draw a
bead on the first "big Ingin " that'
made his appearance, not caring to
lose the outer covering of my erani A
um at present; and there for the first
time in my life, in that lone forest, I
stretch out this mortal tenement up
on the ground, for the purpose of
sleep.
'The night wore away, and the
morning found me in a miserable
condition, so lame that I could
scarcely walk. The rest of the party
went on, but I remained alone:
About noon they returned. The guide

to go on foot about two miles to
reach liembars. The last mile I got
a ride on an ox sled. I then remain
ed about home some time, being too
lame to get out. Sunday I went
down the river in a canoe to church.
The current was rapid, and the 'dis
tance of 'two miles was soon passed.
We shortly arrived at the church, a

woods. "We enter' and take a seat.

TILE STODY OF lIVE LIFE AGAIN TOLD
The story of Marian Evans life has
been variously told. Perhaps this is
the most authentic version of what -
has never been authoritatively told
by the actors in it. Mr. Lewes, the' '
clover and distinguished biographei
of Goethe, and a well known anti*
of philosophical works, had . . been
unfortunate in his marriage . - rela
tions ; so, too, had Mrs. Lewes ; .they
were an ill sorted pair,and she shook
off the bond which galled her, and.
became unfaithful to her marriage .
vow. But Mr. Lewes himself
_was
equally • guilty of infidelity - f te his
wife, and the law ,of England dbes
this et al-justice to man and woman,
viz absolves neither from a mar
riage bon on account of the in
fidelity of the Olher • unless the one
who asks freedom can claim to have
been. faithful to his or her own vow.
The Marriage tie between this dis
loyal husband and Wife was• broken
in fact but not in iaw. They had
long lived separate lives when. Mr.
Lewes met and learned to love Miss
Evans.
Miss Evans was a woman of 'sin
gularly unattractive . person. - No
photograph of her,is• to' _be found
anywhere, iftid Eik - eiirinks from con
tact with strangers, for she is pain
fully ceiiaacions of her own lack of
personal charm.' It was her mind
and heart which 3von I,Lewes
love, and the nobility and • purity
of this most purb spirit lifted that
love into reverence he had never
before felt for woman.
.His love was
returned, and the question of 'their
future was discussed by these loving
friendly lovers.' They asked the
advice and counsel of the wisest and
best of their
_friends, in this 'emer
gency,. and at least, • after much
thought and discussion, it was de
cided-4 themselves and their . corm
selqrs that this belting an exceptional
cage, it must be dealt with in an ex
ceptitnial manner. A legal marriage
between them - Was impossible, but
since the affection which united
was no ;youthful .passion, but .the
stable bond of love founded on mu
tual congeniality and respect, ' they
would be justified in uniting their
Wes outside the law, if they:were
strong enough to bear the social con
sequences which - must naturally fol
low from the infraction of the law:
This they resolved to do, and from
that time they have lived happily,,
contentedly (and lk.pefully together.
All of their best friends approve
their potirse, and no truer wife to her
hnsbanCand
. no more tender mother
to his children, for she has none of
her own,lis to be found in
.ull Eug
land, than this brave and true wo
man.
Of course, in a society so rigid as
is that of England in the outward
obiervance of the moralities--though
it is whispered - that, under a decor
ous regard to the conventionalities,
plenty of indecorous acts are _coin-
mined and winked at—such a conrse
as that of Mr. and . Mrs. Lewis puts
them outside of the general seat'
recognition. Mrs. Lewes never visits
the house of other people ; she re
ceives only her special, friends at her
own: Since she has achieved fame,
she might be received by many
ladies who, before this, would
have refused her entrance to their
homes, but she neither desires nor
will accept their proffered recogni
tion. She did not overstep the con
ventional laws of society without
due consideration; she knew the price
she must pay fora happy' home and
a satisfied heart and she is- content
to pay it, nor does she find it too
high. It was a perilous experiment,
and one that no woman, unless she
be as strong, as helve and as pure,
and as sure of holding her lover as
Miss Evans, would do well to repeat.
" DON'T trouble yourself to stretch,
your Moab any wider," said a dentist to a man
who wu . eitending his jaws frightfully. " in
tend to Auld outaide of it t(rdpaw your tooth."

ANCIENT MOSEY.-
'Before the invasion of Julius Cm
*, the natives of England had tin
and iron plates and rims, which were
used as money. On the authority of
Seneca; a curious -account is given
when leather, appropriately stamped
to give - it a certain legal character, was
the only current money.. At a com

of Europe, Frederick IL;' - who died
in 1250, at the siege of klilauractual

In the coarse of 1250, King John,.
for the ransom of his royal person,
proinised to - pay Edward the Third
of England, three millions of gold
crowns. In order to fulfill the obli

fying necessity of paying gie expens

a i l little 'bright point of silver, In that

I have hem issiibg;reiiorts of factory
men . . for • a considerable - . and
have heard it asserted- frequently that
as much butter dab he obtained.from.
a stated quantify pf,,,,nailk - set deep..
as shallow, link : I - did not-accept their
evidence as conclusive. ;In the early
part of last winter; set - , inches
one week, - and 5 the next . and mi,de•
"a pound, of butter from
. 17 to 18
pounds of milk with the shallow set-
ting;and from 19 to 20 pounds, of mvk
front the - .deep setting.-- -I did not,'
however, consider - these trials -a
conclusivetest, so daring the winter
just ended I took a, siggle_milking of
124 pounds, but it all can to
gether and mixed tliormighly - ; set 62
- pounds 21 inches deep, and '62
pounds 5 inches deep, skimmed after
30 hours, churned each lot .seperate,•
and the result was, I .got. 3 pounds -
and 5-ounces from the•2l,- inches set
ting, and . 2 pounds and louncefrOm
the -5 inches setting, 'which would
- make one pound-in favor of shallow,
setting each day while. -I
_had ' that
amount of -milk. The- milk was kept
at the same . altitude, setting side by
_side, so that each had the same usage
from the timelt . was drawn from the

cow until the utter was weighed,.
This experiment I =eider as near.:
a fair test as any I could make, and
it satisfied me that-there is,an advatk

PLVNT ACTION UPON 00IL.—In re.
gard to the mineral potash,'whiCh so
many fehlswthic soils contain, it is
n ell kn. - 1:n that very few plants will
grow and' take it up well. ' They are
amongst the pogrest 'of- soils: Yet
stable manure added to them tells
better on the crops than the same
muount.of vegetahle matter would.
on s,oil when it had not this n tiro.
potash element in it. The heat
-Vegetablesseem to act on ...the pre
paration of the elehaent . for
~pU4er"
plant fond as living matter would.
There arc, however, Many plants
which can make admirable use of,the
eleMents in- these rocks, and thus
prepare them for 'other- crops. On
these barren feldspar toils 'the cora
-mon mullet' grows to'atO enormous
size. Even on the refuse of rock
-from an old quarry we have seen it
with leaves two and a half -feet long
and eight inches wide, with flower
stems three inches thick and four to
five feet in height. In 'such skis as
this there could be xto better plant for
green manuring ;- on this, indeed,
clover would not do at aIL It is thus
seen that the whole subject of the
best plant for this purpose is open'
to:.an interesting investigation.
MI. ItRIAGE.—Two persons who have,
chosen each other out of all the
species, with the design to be each
other's mutual comfort and enter
tainment, have in that action bound
themselves to be good-humored,. af

joyful, with respect to each other's
frailties and imperfections, to tie
