" When '(" The innocent, surprised, inquiring face renunciation wbb, indeed, difficult for John Burrows. He touched a dim ple in her cheek, and then a curl of her hair, as he might have touched flowers on a grave, perhaps. Bh.e shook back the silky ripples im patiently. "When, John"' He looked at her lor a moment with out a smile, pretty as she was. " Nelly, sit down here a moment." They eat down on the pretty crimson couch "before the fire. Seeing trouble in hit face, she put her hand in his, and he smoothed out the little rose-leaf member upon his broad palm, more than ever confident, as he looked at it, that he was right. " Nelly, you know I love you" " Yes," with a blush, for he had never said it before. " And I am very sorry." " Why V after a pause of bewilder ment. "Because you are a delicate little flower, needing care and nursing to keep your bloom bright ; and I am going to a hard, rough life, among privations, fe ver and malaria, which will try even my powerful constitution, and where you must not go." " You are going to the Far West '" " Yes. My mother must have a home in her old age. She is strong now, but time it telling on her. You know all that she has been to me '(" "Yes; she has been a good mother. But you shall take me too, John." She won her way into his arms against his will. " You will take me, too f " " No, Did I not tell you that you made it so hard for me to say good-bye to you." "John, what could I do without you r He took the little, caressing hand down from his face. " Don't make me so weak, Nelly. Do you think that it is nothing to me to leave my little violet the only woman I ever loved for a hard, cold life, and unceasing toil ' 1 cannot marry for ten years, Nelly." "And then I shall be thirty years old." " Yet, married and with little child ren ; seeing at last that your old lover, John Burrows, was rigfat." He rote to his feet. " John I" in terror. " Yes, I am going, Nelly. Little one you look to muoh a woman now, with your steadfast eyes hear me; I did not foresee that you would love me that I should love you. You were a little Bchool-gtrl when I saved you from drowning last summer, and your satchel of books floated away down the river and was lost I came here to see Grego ry, not you. I could not help loving you ; but did not think until to-night that you cared so much for me, Nelly. But, child, you will surely forget me in time." "Never!" He went on : " Nelly, I shall hunger for yon day and night, more and more, as the time goes on, and I get older, lonelier, more weary. But I shall never hope to see you again. Now, give me your hand. She gave him both. He raised them to his hps, but before she could speak again, he was gone. Shivering violently, she went so the fire, and stood there, trying to warm her self. She understood it all now his strangely elaborate arrangements for a trip to New York. He had known that he was not coming back when she had begged him to bring her his photograph front the great metropolis, but was go ing on on into the dim distance. That was why he had not promised. It was getting late she was eo cold the had better go to bed. She would not go into the parlor to bid her father, end aunt and Gregory, good-night ; so she crept silently up to her own room. There the very weight of grief upon her lulled her to sleep. . But when she woke, her grief sprang upon her like tome hidden monster who had lain in wait for her all night Her misery terrified her. Why should she not die V Why should she ever rise from that bed? But when they called her, she sprang up hastily, dressed and went down, and they were too busy talking to notice that the did bot know what she was do ing. But by-and-by, when her brother reached for more cone, and observed, " John Burrows and his mother went to New York in tho Hist train this morn ing," she tried to rise unconcernedly from the table, and fell in a dead faint upon the carpet among them. Whon Nelly came to, she wab undress ed and in bed, and Aunt Mary was darning stockings at the foot. " Oh, lot me get up, Aunt Mary ; I don't want to lie here. " Now, Nelly, be reasonable. You're ill!" ' Oh, Aunt Mary, I'm not." "Nolly, if you will lie still to-day, I'll lot you have that old box of curiosities in my room to look over. Will you ?" " I don't know." Aunt Mary went for them. Nelly shut her eyes, and let the wave in all its bitterness eurgo over her once ; then Miss Golding came back, bringing a box of old mahogany, black and glossy with time. " There 1" setting it on the bed. With a wintry little smile of thanks, Nelly lifted the cover. The old mahog any box contained strange things. Pic tures on wood and ivory, illuminated manuscripts, webs of strange lace, an tique ornaments, ancient embroideries, great packages of old letters, sealed flasks of unfamiliar perfume, ancient brooches of red gold, finger-rings of clumsily set gems tied together with faded ribbons, a knot of hair fastened with a gold heart, the silver hilt of a sword, and, lastly, a tiny octagon por trait of an old man done in chalks upon a kind of vellum, and inclosed in a frame of tarnished brass. " Who is this that is so ugly, Aunt Mary'" " That, they say, is my great-greatgrandfather, Nelly." " What is it painted on this queer stuff!'" I "Well, it's a kind of leather, I believe. They used to write on in very ancient times." " He's uncommonly ugly, is-n't he '(" said Nelly, wearily. As she spoke, the little case fell apart in her hands. A yellow, folded paper was revealed. She opened it, and saw that it was written upon. " Why, bless my soul, what have you there V" exclaimed Miss Golding, rising up in a strange alarm. She snatched it from Nelly's hand. " It can't be the will 1" she cried. Nelly looked on in dumb surprise. Aunt Mary read a few words, then rush ed away in wild agitation to the library where her brother was sitting. Nelly could hear them talking, the two ; then her brother came ; then the old house keeper was called from the dining-room, and so much confused conversation she never heard before. By-and-by they all waited upon her in a body. " Nelly," said her father, sitting down on the foot of the bed, " You are an heiress." " This is Grandfather Golding's will," exclaimed Aunt Mary, flourishing the bit of paper. " It seems that he was very eccentric," Gregory condescended to explain. " He was very rich, and had some hard sons, and Borne grandsons who promised to be harder, and he fell out with the whole set, who were waiting for him to die. He declared that no money ot his should encourage the young people's excesses ; a little poverty would nelp the family, and the fourth generation would appre ciate his money, and probably make good use of it. When he died, no will could be found ; and though there was a famous struggle for the property, it went into the hands of trustees through the oath of the lawyer who had drawn up the will ; and there it has been, des cending from one person to another.and accumulating in value, until you and I, Nelly, are as rich as Crcc3us." " How, Gregory '(" "Ain't we the fourth generation V Father was an only child, we are his only children ; all the back folks are dead, and it slides down to us on greased wires. Hurrah for Grandfather Golding !" " Is this true, father '(" " Yes, my dear. The property is chiefly in Leeds, England. The housekeeper who came over last summer, you know, happens to know about it It's in safe hands, and our claim is indisputable." What did Nelly do P The little goose ! Instead of flying off in thoughts of a car riage, and dresses of cloth of gold, and a trip to Europe, she buried her face in the pillows, and murmured under her breath, " Oh ! John. Oh, dear, dear John !" And it was no castle in the air. Three months proved that she was the mistress of gold untold, almost. And then a lit tle note went to Kansas, saying : " Deab John : I am waiting for you with a fortune. Will you come for me now ? Nelly." And he came instantly ; and though some might have sneered at his readi ness, the heart of his little wife was al ways at peace. She knew that John Burrows loved her truly. Grandfather Golding's money built up a commodious Western town paved streets, raised rows of shops, erected dwelling-houses, founded banks, libraries and churches ; and Nelly finally lived out West But she had opportunities of seeing pioneer life ; and she said, " John was right ; I should have died in a year, had I lived here in poverty." A Diamond Lost and Found. A few years since a gentleman engaged in the lumber business in Maine, having an appreciative eye for a fine diamond, and being convinced that a real gem would, if properly bought be a safe in vestment, accordingly commissioned a jeweller to purchase for him. a stone about a thousand dollars in value, which was mounted as a spiral-backed stud. As months rolled on the owner was offered by connoisseurs constant ad vances on his purchase, which tempta tion only made him value his gem the more, and he said to himself, " If it ia worth that to them, it is to me, and I will keep it till forced by necessity to tell it." In April of last year, while working on his boom of logs on one of the streams of the Kennebec, having on a shirt, tho stud-hole worn large by ser vice, he taw his sparkling brilliant fall from his bosom, strike the log, and glide quietly into the current below. Determination to regain it overpower ed the regret of his mind. He kept his loss where his stud should have been io his bosom. Sounding the depth of tne water ce louna n to oe aDout seven feet ; he then decided to wait till the summer drought should bring the Btream to its lowest ebb, and taking accurate measurement of the place, by the bear ing of the rocks and trees on the shore, allfiwinrr AiD-Tlfonn (nrriaa fnr ti nd.tim of direction bj tho curront he loft his treasure to compete with the aace and shiner in fagcinfl.r,ino Mia rival tnnrm.ifl and returned to his Massachusetts home.

He had determined to work a fortnight before giving up tho gom as lost, and to have all the river bottom go through his hondy kitchen .strainer.

Speaking of Philadelphia law voir, thn distributing clerk iu charge of the for eign letters which come through the Chicago postoffice was evidently cut out for one; if not bis experience has been such at to amply fit him for the profes sion of deciphering unintelligible signs and hieroglyphics. Many of the super scriptions which come through his hands are among tne most mysterious of ciph ers unintelligible from the writer's not knowing what he wanted to write.rather than illegible through carelessness in writing. When a countryman of Gus- tavus Vasa, for instance, still hibernat ing upon his native hills, sends a letter to his brother in this country, and, writ ing from memory, and a memory not much trained in letters at that, super scribes it " Seederabst lenco la.," he has succeeded in mystifying the average hu man mind considerably regarding the intended destination of his missive. Not at all the postoflice clerk, however, who at once sees that " Cedar Rapids, Linn county, Iowa," is meant. So, too, when from the Bremen bag a greasy packet flutters out, addressed to "Hafte Lao Co Ill,"it is not difficult to discern, after the letters of the legend have been evolved from the chaos in which a still1 fist and a villainous pen have left them, that the packet is intended for some one in "Half Day, Lake county, Illinois," and thither it therefore goes. But when the only address to be made out from another and that by no means sure, so vague are the forms of the letters is " Chollyhut ville Co 111," then it is that brains tell in the distributing business. Brains fin ally result in a solution of the palimp sest, and " Joliet, Will county, Illinois," is the interpretation thereof. In like manner "Verseaux incauque Co Ameri ka," a superscription which could have emanated from nowhere else but France is decided to mean " Warsaw, Han cock county," and it is found that Illi nois has such a town, in such a county ; so the letter is forwarded thither, and has doubtless gladdened or saddened the heart of its object before now. Lakeside Monthly. Romantic Marriages In New Hampshire. Of the preliminaries of a marriage about to be celebrated in Exeter, N. II., a correspondent of the Boston Traveller gossips thus : " Some months tgo a gentleman re- Biding in Illinois, wrote to an official in the youngest city or New England, stat ing that he was desirous of procuring a good wife ; that he had heard so much of the excellence of the daughters of the Bay State, he was fully persuaded they would make the best of wives, and he requested the names of a few Haverhill ladies. The oihcial, satisfied of the good standing of his correspondent, promptly forwarded to him the names of a few la dies, to each of whom the would-be Benedict despatched a letter, requesting an answer, with a view to farther cor respondence if mutually agreeable. One of the answers he received was from a native and resident of this town, who at that time was in Haverhill, teaching the young idea how to shoot. Hers was a well-worded, straightforward epistle,and the recipient was at once impressed with the intelligence and good sense mani fested by the writer. A correspondence ensued, which as it progressed served to strengthen the favorable opinion each had formed of the other ; photographs were exchanged, and, to make a long story short an engagement of marriage was entered into, and the gentleman is expected here Bhortly, when he will re turn to his Western home with his sin gularly won bride. The lady is well educated, of spotless reputation, and pos sesses the necessary qualifications to make happy the home of her husband, who is a gentleman of integrity, culture and wealth, and well provided with the goods of this world. He is largely en gaged in mercantile pursuits. But this is not a solitary instance of an Exetor lady contracting marriage under such romantic circumstances. A few years ago one of our factory opera tives was recommended to a gentleman residing in San Francisco as a person likely to make him a good wife, by a mutual friend. He wrote to her, a cor respondence was opened, cartes de visite were exchanged, and in a short time they were betrothed. Being unable conveniently to leave his business to come on here, the gentleman sent his fiancee a check for $500, with which she procured a bridal outfit and started alone for San Francisco, to marry the man she had never yet seen. Their nup tials were celebrated soon atter her am val, and the union has proved a most fe licitous one." An exchange tells us that " the great est beer-drinker at the Heidelberg Uni versity last year wai a young man from Kentucky." Kentuckians do nothing by halves. That young man set out to drink beer, and he drinks it, and of course drinks more than anybody else, It would be the same with him in every other laudable undertaking, it, for in stance, he were to make .statesmanship instead of lager beer his speciality, a yoke of oxen couldn't hold him away irom the White House.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Keeping Fowls Is it Profitable ? The profitableness of keeping fowls de pends upon many conditions : If fowls are furnished with a plenty of range, with half the amount of feed necessary to keep them, and the balance to be provided by themselves, they will do better than under any other circum stances in which they may be placed, for tho simple reason that this consti tutes tho best possible natural conditions in which to carry out and develope all the funotiona of their peculiar nature. When confined in an unnatural, and of oourso what is to them, an arbitrary modo or keeping:, on entirely different course of treatment must be pursued in order to moke them remunerative or profitable to the owner ; and this is not all the fowls thus kept should be dis posed of at the expiration of one year at the furthest limit of time in which to keep them, as the fowls being in this un natural restraint will hardly pay for one-half of their keeping, if on effort is mado to make them productive in laying eggs after the first year ; besides this is not the only difficulty that will have to bo encountered, for tho restricted or cir cumscribe 1 limits in which the' fowls are Bituated is a fruitful source of a variety of diseases, in which occurs tho los of many of them. t When more fowls are purchased to supply those disposed of, much care should be taken to get such as have not been bred in and in, and from those, also, where the mother of the chickens provided generally for them, and then of course a good and profitable lot of fowls as a desideratum yielding exceed ingly well for the amount of outlay of money and is a sure source of profit Ueo. e. WILCOX. Enolisu Agricultural 'Experi ments. A recent number of the Agri cultural Gazette (London) contains' an interesting account of the celebrated ex periments at Eothamsted, which have been carried on for many years (some of them Bince 1843), by Mr. J. B. Lawes. These experiments have been conducted by Mr. Lawes in person, and entirely at his own cost, and they have developed many results of the greatest value not only to English agriculture, but to that of the whole world ; they constitute also a most important contribution to the cause of science. Indeed, Rothainsted, under the absolute control of a single individual, and supported from his pri vate fortune, vies with the most care fully managed and most extensive ex perimental stations conducted at gov ernment expense on the continent. Some idea of the extent of these experi ments may be formed from the fact that the tabulated reports of the results of twenty years' experiments in growing ; wheat on twenty-two different plots (comprising in all fourteen acres), each with different manuring occupy over forty closely printed (octavo) pages of the Journal of tlie Royal Agricultural So ciety. And these fourteen acres aro only a fourth part of the land devoted to the experiments, which included every im- portant crop of English agriculture. It is not easy to deduce correct con clusions from such experiments, for there are many varying circumstances whose influence on growth, and on the operation of manure we as yet know too little iully to understand ; but some things seems to be bo far determined as to be of practical use to farmors, and as we come to know more the value of tbe whole series will be gradually developed. They must always remain a most fruit ful subject for scientific investigation, and a fruitful source of practical know ledge. To refer more in detail to tbe experi ments : Eighteen half-acre plots of grass have been manured each with the same manure for sixteen years. The unma nured land has averaged over twenty five hundred pounds of hay per acre ; superphosphate of lime did very little good unless used with ammonia ; and ammonia Baits and nitrate of soda did much the best. Ammonia, however, was bad for clover, and gave an undue prominence to the coarser grasses. Ammonia salts produced an average ot 6,720 pounds of hay per acre. It has been deduced from the grass-field experi ments (probably correctly), that nitrate of soda is a valuable agent in enabling a crop to withstand drought, the as sumption being that when more is ap plied than is used by the crop, the sur plus is washed down into the soil, so that repeated annual doses enrich the ground to such a depth as to induce roots to go down far enough to find the necessary moisture. This deduction is apparently confirmed by the fact that last year (when the drought in England was most severe), the plot that had been manured with this salt produced at nearly the full rate, while the other ma nures had a comparatively slight effect Mr. Lawes describes the soil as a " some what heavy loam, with a subsoil of raw yellowish red clay, but resting in its turn upon chalk, which provides good natural drainage," In the barley ex- fieriments, the unmanured land averaged 10 years) 20 bushels per acre ; some of the manured land as high as fifty bush els. For this crop it seems to be proved that superphosphate is not of much ben efit ; that ammonia salts (quantity not stated) 1,000 pounds of rape cake, or 275 pounds nitrate of soda per acre, are each of great utility, the cheapest improve ment coming from the use of nitrate. In the wheat experiments, the unma nured land averaged 14J bushels per acre ; that manured with alkalies, ISA bushels ; that with superphosphate, 17$ bushels; and that with both of these manures ana with nitrate of toda or ammonia salts, 30 bushels. Neither the nitrate nor the ammonia did so well without the superphosphato or alkalies as when used with them. The experiments with oats are not materially different from those with wheat. Peas, beans and clover could not be made to grow for a series of years by any manures that were tried upon them ; but it was proved that the failure of clover was not due to any poisoning of the land, for on a very rich old gar den that nad been well manured for more than a century, clover still looks healthy after having occupied the land since 1854. This indicates that clover foils from starvation, not from excre- mentitious poisoning. For root crops superphosphate of lime has proved to be the best manure of all that were tried. That which seems to be the most val nable suggestion for the practioal farmer to experiment upon is that which refers to the use of nitrate of soda, especially as a manure for grass. If the same result will follow its use on other toils that have been produced at Bothampsted, there is reason to expect that it will not only add to our grass crop, but think it will, after some years, enrioh the soil to such a depth as to enablo our grasses better to withstand the droughts that are now so injurious to them. Anything that will cause roots to descend deep into the soil will do immense good by deepening the "surface" soil through the eventual decay of these roots. The riiilmlclplila Dog-Shelter. The- Women's Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, of which Mrs. Caroline E. White it President, have founded in Philadel phia a Dos lief nee. Previous to the formation of this home, a notorious dog catcher was employed by the authorities to capture all stray dogs and destroy them. Under this arrangement scenes of great cruelty took place in the streets almost daily, followed by the brutal slaughter of tbe captured animals with clubs. These demoralizing scenes are now at an end, the authorities having given the matter up entirely to Mrs. White and her coadjutors. A lot of ground was secured on the Lamb Tav ern road, near Hart's lane, and there the dogs' shelter has been erected. The lot is partly occupied by a small dwelling, and partly by a quadrangular enclosure bounded by a high board fence. The dog enclosure ia again divided into two parts, one for the dogs which are re claimed by their owners, and which are returned on payment of a fine of $2, and the other for the unreclaimed dogs, most of whom are mongrels. Around the sides of the enclosures are shelters for the dogs, and they have a large piece of ground to run over. They are well fed until reclaimed by the owners or des troyed. Under the rear part of the dwelling is a walled enclosure about twelve feet long, five feet wide and three feet deep. This is air-tight when the doors are closed. The bottom of it is level with the ground where the un claimed dogs are kept and has a door opening in that direction. The animals to be killed are put in this place, the doors closed, and from a room above carbonic acid gas, generated in a cask containing water, whiting and sulphuric acid, is forced down through a pipe among the dogs in the air-tight room. In about two minutes they are all dead. The officers of the Society catch the dogs ! i. 1. HT T 1, .
