BY TMK AUTHOR OF "THE tlKIR 10 ASHLEY. ciiaptfk u. HANDS KT HEARTS. it was a terrible misfortune. Independent of the melancholy loss of the child, indepen dent of ihe non recovery of his body, it was a docp misfortune in n pecuniary point of view. With her son's death nearly nil iho fortune of Mrs. Yorko passed from her, and her in come in future would be reduced to extreme ly narrow limits, ller twn pension, as the widow of Colonel fcherriugton, hod left her at her second marriage ; and her daughter's pension had ceased at tho ago of eighteen, because she was Dot then in India. Some thing like a hundred and fifty pouuds a year she would have, a'l told just enough, as she groaned, to starve upon, ller grief was in deed pitiable. She persisted in attributing all tho blame of the child's death to the dnughter, she treated her with tiukitidness, could not endure the sight of her, and when she did sec her it was to burst into sobs uud reproaches. "I should not bear it," observed Mr. Yorko one day, to Elizabeth. "Js it just?'' returned Klizubcth, in a pas sionate tone to appeal. "When 1 saw him to the door of the college, how could I itnn. pine that it was only to blind me that he would disobediently run to the canal the mo ment I was out of sight ? Is it just of mum ma?'' "Xo very unjust. I say I 6h3uld emanci pate myself." "I cannot live this life. It makes mo so wretched that I sometimes begin to doubt whether I am not really guilty. 1 will go out as governess, rather than bear it." "Why not say as housemaid ?" sarcastical ly returned Mr. Y'orke : "as fit as tho other for Colonel Sherrington's daughter. Let mo emancipate you, Elizabeth." Sho cast at him a rapid glance. Tho hour was coma that she expected sometimes doubted if she had not dreaded. ! "You cannot be ignorant of my feelings," ho resumed, "or why have stayed here in 1 this pluce, which 1 hato. Yon must know that I love you passionately far more pas sionately than ho did. Elizabeth." "Who?" she exclaimed, with a rush con scious color. "Janson. As if you did not know." " Why do you bring up danson !" she said "What is Janson to tue t" "Elizabeth, you will be my wife ? Do not refuse," ho impetuously otided. "I have sworn that if you are uot mine you shall nev er be another's. "Mr. Yorko 1" "I cannot live without you. I love you too passionately for my own peace. Elizabeth jo i must ba mine." What was she to answer? She did not know. A conflict was at work within her. She likpd Mr. Yorke, what she knew of him, which was but little ; but she lored Edward Janson. 13ut ho was poor nnd Mr. Yorke was rich. "Give mo till to-morrow, and yon shall have an answer," sho said to him. This has come upon me suddenly." "Very well. Iteincmber, Elizabeth, that during the suspense I shall neither eat nor sleep ; shall huve ueither peace nor rest, llo my wife, and your duys bhull be u dream of love." "A dream of love 1" she bitterly repeated as be left her. "i'or him, perhaps ; uot for me." She remained in her room till eveuing, communing with herself, and then sho sought M rs. Yorke, saying she wished to consult her. "I am uot worth consulting now," was the querulous auswer. "My spirits are gone, my heart is broken." "Mr. Yorke wants nfe to marry him." "Mr. Y'orke 1" returned her mother, some what aroused. "Has ho asked you ?'' "Yes to-day." "Then you are more lucky than you de serve." "I do not know whether to accept or reject hi oi." "Reject him!" fiercely interposed Mrs. Yorke; 'you are out or your souses. With his liue fortune, his position, his amiability " "Is he amiable?" asked Elizabeth. "Jle puzzles me at times." "What puzzles you ?" "His words. 1 don't understand them. And the expression of his countenance." "JIad you not better set up for a phrenolo gistor whatever they call the charlatans who prettud to read faces ?" sarcastically re torted Mrs. Yorke. "Mamma, listen. If I do accept him it will be because I am unhappy here." "Tray, why should there ba on 'if io the matter at all? Why should you hesitate, or thiuk of rejecting him ?" "Because I do not lore bim," answered Elizabeth, in a low tone. "I like Mr. Yorke, but it requires more than liking to marry a man or ought to." "Oh, if you are going to run on about ro mance aud sentimeut, do not understand it," returned Mrs. Yorke. "I never did mora than 'liks' my two husbands, yet I was happy with them. My love was wasted on somebo dy else when I wag almost a child." "Was it ?" cried Elizabeth, eagerly. "It was i aud was over and Uoua with be fore I married, and I did not make the less good wife. It is so with ninety-nioe women out or every hundred, and their wedded lives are all the happier for their early romance be ing over. Romance and reality do not work well' together, Elizabeth. You ar inexperi enced, child." She was beginning to thiak io. ' I give yon my advice, Elizabeth, nnd 1 give it for your happiness j marry Mr. Y'orke and bo thankful ; reject him, and pass your after life in repining, in self reproach at your own ft lly." Mr. Yorke received the answer lie wish ed for. They wero to be married in England, in autumn, but the preparations were at once commenced. They both wished Mrs. Yorke to go home immediately, but sho would not ; perhaps some vague hope of re covering, even yet, the child's body, chained her to tho place. Tho last week in August was fixed for their departure, and August at length came in. The fishing-boats began to retnrn from Ice land, laden with their spoil ; by twos, by threes, by little fleets of them, by ono. At length all were in save two, the Belle lleleno and the Rushing Water. These two delayed much, and a report got abont, nobody knew how, for it was certainly without fouudution, that the Rushing Water was wrecked. Miss Sherrington, in spite of herstlf nnd her be trothal, heard the evil fear with a sickeuing heart, and looked out for it in secret more yearningly than any one. Or than any, save one ; for, if her anxiety was jr. at, what was it compared with that of ' poor Mrs. Janson ? Onedny.it was on a Fri- : d.iy, Thereso had pone to the fish-market to i purchase the usnal fust day's dinner, when in ; the midst of her squolly burgnining with the : fish vender, news flow about tho market that ' one of tho two missing boats was signalled 1 it was thought to be the Rushing Water. , Dashing the disputed Gsh back on tho wo J man's board, awuy went Thorese to her mis- ! tress, and without nrcnmlocution announced that the Uushiog Wuler wus making the bur- , bor. j Mrs. Janson went down to tho po:t. The boat was in, and being moored to the side ; I. a Bello Helens. She asked tho crew news j of the Hushing Wnler, but they had uots-ien her on tho passage home. Yet tin- Hushing ; Water hud been ono of the first boats to leave j Iceland. Disheartening news '. As Mrs. Sunson went . back again, with a heavy step, sho encounter ed Miss Sherrington. 'Young lady, go homo nnd pray," she snnl, in her abrupt, stern manner; "pray tliut jou may uot have caused his death us well as his misery. Stay upon yonr knees until lluuvon shall be pleased to hear you, as I am going to do. There is little hope now." "I heard the Rushing Water had come in this morning," faltered Miss Sherrington. ' So did 1, but it proves to be the llelelie ; and the Hushing Water left Iceland days be fore her." Sho passed on with her palo severe face, and Elizabeth Sherrington continued on her way. Tho days went on. five or six of thorn. Mrs. lorUe and Miss Sherrington were sit ting in the twilight, the latter expecting Mr. Yorke, whom she was trying, with all her might and main, to like better, as a dutiful bride elect should, when one of tho servants came in, and said a gentleman wub asking to sece her. "Me! To see mo 1" dematided Elizabeth. "A gentleman-sailor, miss. I think it is Mr. Janson. He says will yon allow bim a minutes conversation 1" "Ob, mamma!" she uttered. "Mr. Jan son 1 Theu the Rushing Water most be sale in." Mrs. Y'orke mado somo indictinct reply. Her thoughts were buried in other things. What, to her, was the safety of the Hushing Water? Elizabeth passed through the onte-roora and entered the ono where he had been showu He was in his sailor's attire, his gluzed hat in his hand, looking, or Elizabeth thonght so, handsomer thau ever. "Then you ore in safety !" sho exclaimed, grasping his baud in her agitated thankful- uess, perhaps for his mother's suko, but for- getful, at the moment, of Mr. Yorke nnd the whole world. "We huve been couutiug you as among the lost." "Our homeward voyage has been bad, per ilous, unlucky altogether, save that we have ultimately arrived. Miss Sherrington, 1 hear that you have been mourning Henry as dead." "Yes, yes. Oh, yes !" "He is safe. He has been with os." She did not scream ; she suppressed it. Then she thought that she must be dreaming or that sho was. "He got into somo trouble, fell into the water, and was ufruid to go homo," proceeded Mr. Janson. "That mischievous imp, i'uul, encountered him in his wet plight, brought bim on board, coiled him up under some sails and rope, and four and-twenty hours ultpr wo left port Master Harry camo out. 1 wished the captain to put buck, but he laughed at nie : so he had to go with us, and I have ta ken care of bim. Paul says Harry bribed Liin with a five franc piece, three for himself, and two to give to a messenger to take word to his mother where be had gone ; but iiuce I landed, an hour ago, 1 have heard that you and Mrs. Yorke thought him dead, therefore no message could huve been brought you. I thought it well to ask to see you, that the news may be broken to Mrs. Yorke." "Obi how Bhall wo ever thank you?'' she ottered, attributing all the good to Mr. Jan son, in her confused feelings of joy. "Where is. Harry ?" "Waiting just inside the cafe at the next door until 1 tend for bim, and beiug made a lion of." Miss Sherrington went into the drawing room, which was almost dark then, and knelt down beside her mother's chair. "Mamma! mammal I have some joyful news for you ! You will not faint if 1 tell it?" "What news will ever be joyful to me again, Elizabeth? What is the matter with you, that you kueel in that strange manner ? How you tremblu 1" "Mamma suppose I hare news to tell you about Harry ? That he is fjuud ?" "Is it? is it?" excitedly uttered Mrs. Yorke. ltl She was thinking of the dead Harry not the living one. "Not 'it,' mamma, llo. Could you bear for me to tell yon that ho is in life safe well ?" "Elizabeth, what do you mean ?" faintly uttered Mrs. Yorke. "Ho is, ho is. Dearest mamma, he has been out with Mr. Janson in tho Hushing Water." She did not continue. For the door Lad opened and a happy lad stood peeping in, in a nondescript attire, composed partly of Lis own things, partly of Paul's. Ho was browned with the sea air, taller than before, and his fair curls were wild and entangled. With a cry he Hew Into his mother' arms, aud the sobbed upon his neck aud kissed his pretty face and hi untidy hair, and strained bim to her a if aha could never lot aim go again. "Mn. Yorke, will you forgive my saying that I think you wiil find him a more dutiful oy than ba used to be ?" (aid Mr. Jansou, vbo bad followed bim iu. "He has bad to roojh it, and be nv knows the value; tf a happy homo nnd a mother's lovo. I have taken upon myself to discipline him, too ; I have kept him from tho gnilorp, so fur as wbr practicable, and rend him lessons on his faults, and I believe you will find him changed for the better." "Oh yes, indeed, mamma," sobbed the lad, "1 know now how naughty I wa?, and I will try and never gricvo you and Elizabeth again." "Mr. Janson," cried tho mother, rifing and speaking in impassioned tones, ' how can I reward you for the joy that you have brought me this night? If you asked me for my lifo in repnymcut, I almost thiuk it should be yours." Sho left the room as she spoke, ansion- to be alone, and Harry followed her. Miss Sherrington was lost in thought. "Philip Anson was lipid to it. to this day, that Hntry was saved," sho exclaimed. "Ho persisted in doclaring that ho saw him "Tier Harry -crumbled out of the water." "And now thot my task is done. 1 have only to take my leave," observed Mr. Jan son, holding out his bund. "This house ns an interdicted placo to me before I left ; I conclude that it is so still." Miss Sherrington put her hand in his, and burst into teors. ; Ho held it, nnd looked at her. "Elizabeth, I what do those tears mean ? That you bate : mo. as you did before?'1 ! "1 never hated you. It was tho contrary. 1 I am very miserable." "I went this voyage," ho whispered, "slri ! ving to hate, or rather, to forget you. I ! come from it, loving you more than ever. Tho chiM's being on lunrd was again: t my : project; how, when I constantly saw him, I could 1 forget you ? My dearest, why should wo separate ?"' ho added, straining her (o bis ; heart. "Let it be hot ween us as it once was.

She shook her hertd. "I should only ham per yon. 1 nm not lit to bo m poor man's ife. No, 1 havo deliberately entered upon 1t, und matters have been advanced too far to be broken oil' now. Forgive nie, Edward, forgive mo all. We must forget each other !" "Oh, Elizabeth, must this be the coding?" "Yes," sho answered, the tears raining from her eyes nnd her heart aching with paiu. "I wish it had been dill'ereut, but cir cumstances aro against us. Farewell, Ed ward ; if ever we meet again, it must bo as strangers. "Not so," sho hastily udded, as he drew her fucu to his for a last embrace, ' it is uot right to him. Do you not hear me say that in a little spuce 1 t hull be his wil'o ?" "For the Inst time," he murmured, nnd she made but it faint resistance. "Ho ought not to grudge it to us. Now farewell, forever !" Mr. Janson turned to leave tho room. He saw not that somebody drew away from the door, and stood bolt upright, in silence, against tho wall of the duik nute-ruom, while ho passed out somebody with a revengelul i face, nnd teeth that glistened like a tiger's Not that Mr. Yorko was of a dishonorublo nature, or had dishonorably set himself to listen.

But he buried his wrongs within him very great wrongs in deed they appeared to be, to his heated bruin and told them not. Little did Miss Sherrington think on tho day of her wedding, wbeu sho gave her hand without her heart, that the bridegroom kneeling by her side knew just as well ns she did that she hud no heart to give. At tho best it was an inauspicious beginning of life, and she felt it so ; she felt, too, that should her futute existence bo one of retribution, she bud ouly brought it on herself; as Mrs. Janson hud almost predicted that night out side the little chapel, when shn hud b-.-en praying for the safety of the Rushing Water.

Now, dur.i.g the present month, it requires tho especial cine of the cultivator. Let it bo thinned early, as soon as it is out of danger from birds and worms. Start the cultivators in at nn early day, to clean out the rows in each direction, und go over quickly with tho hoes to clear away tho grass that may be starting about tho young plants. It is desirable to have the corn laid by hurvest ; it should never bo worked after it shows any sign of tasseling. Every rrot and rootlet is wanted then for tbe production of grain, nnd to put in plow or cultivator to cut them oil or tear them up is simply mur derous. If you have allowed tho grass to dispute possession with tho corn let them "fight it out." Tho chances will bo in favor of tho corn ; but if you lose that you make n crop of grass, nnd that is about us much us such cultivation deserves ; otherwise you make neither corn uot grass, The great rule in corn cultivation is to work eariy uud work quickly ; that is, beforo the corn gets larg., and without too long intervals between the workings. Corn that bus been thoroughly and qnickly worked from the start need not be touched after it rises ubove ibu hips of an ordinary mail. As to the mode oT woiking, the rule is to woik deep before planting and shallow alter, a mere stirring of tho surface is what is want ed now. Pur this pnrposo tho ordinary corn cultivator is sufficient. With the best man agement, however, and especially upon to bacco farms, tho crop will sometimes get "in the grass," and to got it out tint plow is osoii. lial. Every ono must judge for himself of this emergency. Work with the mould-board to the corn, throwing the earth well up, with out breaking the corn. A good plowing in June thoroughly subdues the grurs, ain If done while the corn is small, and Well done, it does not materially injure it. HAY-MAKIN Crops of clover ami orchard grass will be ready for harvest early in tho month. The lit time for cultivating clover is when about one-half of the blossoms havo turned brown. It is especially important, however with this crop, to take time by the forelock, and if op. porluuity and weather permit it is will to begin earlier. Tho succulency of clover makes it hard to cure well, and Iron) bad curmg clover nuj has got an ill-repute, which it by eo means deserves. It is lieedless to say llial the boy making requires the utmost euro uud dili gence to bring it to a speedy conclusion. Cure in good swat lbs throw n lightly up, tbut the air may penetrate, and with as little ex posure as may ba to the seorchintr sun. Should ruin threaten, eveu that which is least cured may be sufely put iuto small cocks luid lightly up. Some persons prefer altogether in such cocks. The leaves and finer portions of the plants are better preserved, the stems go through a gentle fermentation, and the npcessarv haudlinir end exposure on an airy day in taking it to the stack or bouse cures it sufficiently. The principal objection to this method it that it takes too long lime aud pre vents that dospach in ccttiug important jobs off baud wbiili it very desirable.

It is of a totally different family of plants for tho cereals, and will flourish on sandy hill-sides which tiro barren for other grain.
