had failed in business, and it had been told
to me that tho sad reverse killed him. I
had known that Mary was poor that sho
was dependent upon her daily labor for sun-
Portland the thought that I could offer
iier a coniloitnijle home, with the ndvnntnge
of moderate wealth, had given iuerensc to
my prospective happiness. Hut this unex

I was : little, heated with wine. I had
drank just enough to warm my blood and ,
give my brain tin extra impulse, and my j
words were not chosen as I should have
chosen them had the spirit of wine, been i
absent. As I walked toward mv homo I
sought to persuade myself that I had fortu
nately escaped the snare of a coquette, and
that I might be the better enabled thus to
reason, I stopped at the hotel, w here I found
a tew of my companions, and helped dispose
of half n dozen bottles of wine.
On the following morning I aweko with
I a headache, and when! called to mind the
events of the preceding evening I was nny-
thing but Imppv. I begun to realize how
much I had loved Mary Granville. There I
was an achin-r void in mv heart, and I fairly I
wept as I contemplated my loss. It was mv
firsl love, and its influence had penetrated
every lil re of my being. The beautiful girl
had become more dear to tne than I could
tell, and gtoiiiicd in bitter nnguish when I
thought that she was lost forever. 1 had
resolved that I would feel very angry nnd
indignant, but when the sweet face was call
ed up to mental Mew such feelings melted
awny, leaving me sad and desolate.
On the following Sabbath I iittcndel
church, where I saw Mary once more. She
played the organ, as she had done for the
paM year, and as her lingers swept over the
keys, I fancied that I could detect a t renin
lotisuess which I hud never noticed before.
Was it only imagination, or was it really a
plainliveness a sadness iu tho expression
of her music ?
Ti mc it seemed at times as though the
organ moaned and wept. It was like the
wailing of tho daughters of Zion by the
livers of Habylnn.
When the services were over and wc went
out from tho church I saw Mary's face. It
was pale and wan as though she had been
sick. What could it be : Was she suffer
ing as I had suffered ? The thoup-ht flashed
upon me that some one might have told her
i something to my disadvantage. I hud ene
mies in the villain enemies who hail -n-
vicil me hi cause I had inherited some wealth
! and I fancied enemies w ho envied me the
i love of Mary Granville.
I Another week passed nnd I became moro
sad and lonesome. My business was irk
, some to me, an.l my books and papers uf
j forded me no respite. Ill fact 1 could not
, read, fir mind was never upon tho page be
j foiu me. Another Sabbath nt church und
. I saw Mary again. She was paler than be
i fore, und her eyes looked as though sho had
j been weeping.
I During the succeeding week I received a
I visit from my old college chum, Jack Stan
I ton, who had just Opened a law office in
Herryvillt. After supper, ns wo sat in the
i cosy parlor smoking our cigars, I suggested
j that "i bottla of wine would uot be amiss.
' Jilt!; shook his head,
i "No, Charlie," he said, "we'll leave the
wine for those who need it."
' Voti iisictl to drink it. Jack.'
Vis, but it never did me any good."
! "And do j mi think it ever did you any
harm ?"
"As to that 1 will uot say ; it never shall
tlo hid harm. I know it bus harmed others
who were ns strong as I am. Hy the way,
Charlie; isn't Mary Grain die here?"
Yes," said I. '
"Do you know hir?" ' ' .
I turned away my face nnd pretended to
have heard something nt tho window.
"1 hiiusccn her," ! replied, when I had
composed myself. "She plays the organ in
the church."
"She und I were schoolmates," pursued
Stanton, "and speaking of wine brings her
to my mind. Do you know anything of her
early lifef"
"Nothing," I answered.;
"Poor .Mary ! I never think of her with
out feeling my resolution of total abstinence
grow stronger and stronger. When we were
school children together her father was the
wealthiest nisu in Hcrryvillc, and sho nnd
her brother were among tho happiest ol tho
happv.
"Mr. Granville was in tho habit of drink
ing w ine, and tho habit grew upon him un
til ho felt that he could not live without his
biandy.
"Ho w as of n social dispostion, und in
time it came to puss that he wus often gross
ly intoxicated, ut course, untier, sucu cir

Mr. Grauville did not reform, nnd ero many
years ho died a drunkard death, leaving
"his family in poverty and suffering.

than Mary, became dissipated, und at the
0 nt eighteen was killed In a street ugnt
in New York. Mrs.'Granville survived her

'Poor Mary, thus letl fatherless and moth
erless, without brother or sister, at the age
of fifteen was forced to earu the bread which
she ate and nobly lias she done it. If you
kuow her Charlie, you know one nf the no

night. I could no longer misunderstand
the motives which hadlactuated Mary in re
jecting my hand. Sho knew that I was in
tho habit of using wine, aud on that even
ing when last wo met she must havo dis
covered that I had drank enough to brin" a
false flush to my cheek.
"Oh 1 my God I" I ejaculated, as I snnk
into a chair, "I wonder not that she refused
to place her future lil'o in my keeping, sho
has suffered enough from the accursed cup.

"Hut." I asked myself, "why did sho not
tell me the whole truth?"
I found no tlilliculty in answering the
question. She had shrunk from wounding
my feelings. I knew how sensitive sho was,
and I knew that she was nfraid of offending
mo. Perhaps she thotiirht mc nrottd and
headstrong enough to resent such liberty on j
her tiart. and norlians she imuifinml I niielit 1
i o---
look upon her pari as tho offering of her
hand in considerati'in ol'oiy renouncing tho
wine-cup, nud that I might spurn her offer.
On Friday Jack Stanton left me, nnd on
Saturday evening I called nt Mary's board
ing house. Mary herself answered my sum
mons. She started when she saw me. nod
I f:tw her right hand move quickly toward
her heart
"Mary,' snid I speaking calmly, for I had
n mighty strength of will to support tne, "I
have not come to distress you. I have come
as a friend, anil I humbly "nsk that you will
give mc an audiincc for a few moments."
olio went into the parlor, and I billowed
her closing the door behind mc ; nnd when
we were niono sue set tlie lamp upon the
table and motioned me to a sent.
"No sitid I, "I will not sit down yet.
Give me your hand Mary."
Mechanically slit! put foith her hands and
I took them in my own. There was a won
dering look in her eyes, nnd n slight flush
had come to her pale cheeks.
"Mary," I continued speaking slowly aud
softly, and I knew that a moisture was gath
ering in my eves, "you must answer one
question. Answer it as you please, and
take mv solemn assurance that 1 ask it only
for your own good- Tell me, tlo you love
mc-; No, 110 do not tuko your hands uway
yet. Answer me if you can. Fear not O,
fear not; for 1 hud rather go into endless
night than tio you wrong. Tell me, Mary,

"I cannot speak falsely," she tremblingly
whispered. "For my own pence, perhaps I
love you too well."
"Listen to mo one. moment," I added,
drawing her nearer to me; "when I have
tohi vim what I have to tell von shall be the
judge."
She did not strive to free her hands, but
looked up eagerly into my face, and her eyes
beanie. 1 with a hopeful light.
"You know John Stanton;" I said.
"Yes," hc replied.
"Ho was my best friend when wo were nt !

less. He came to see mo and told 1110 the j
story of the trials ami sullerings of one of j

my Bunnell mot tier, 11 sun can iook upon uer

"And now, Mary, if, ut sonic future time
you should feel that you can trust your hap
piness in my keeping, you w ill give me some
token thereof, nnd 1 will come and ask you
ngain for your hand; nnd should it be my
blessed lot to receive it, I will devote every
energy in my being to make your lifo a joy
ous nnd n peaceful one."
I let go her hands, nnd bowed my head to
wipe awny n tear. I tinned towards the
door really intending to tiepait and give her
time for reflection, when she pronounced my
name. I looked back anil her hands were
stretched out towards me.
"Not now," I whispered. "I will not nsk
your answer yet. Watch me prove me.
Only give me to kuow that I have your love
and will."
I stopped speaking, for Mary's head hud
been pillowed upon my bosom, and she was
weeping like a child.
"'Now I now'."' she uttered, as I would
my arms about her. "Oh, Charles, I never
doubted your truth. I know you cannot
deceive me. God bless your nubia resolu
tion; and let me help you to keep it !"
I cannot tell how long I stopped that eve
ning. I can only tell that I was very hap
py, nnd that my prospect of tho coming
year was bright and glorious.
On the following day a Sabbath, calm
nnd pleasant the organ gave forth a new
strain. The daughters of Zion were no
longer in a strange land. They had taken
their hurps down from tho willows, and
within the chambers of tho new Temple
moro resplendent far than the old, they
sang the songs that aforetime made joyous
city of their God. All marked the gran dour
of "the music that sprang into tho life be
neath the touch of the fair organist on that
beautiful Sabbath morning, and all seemed
moved by tlie inspiration. To me it was
like the holy outpourings of a redeemed
soul, nnd with bowed heair- and folded
hands I gave myself up to the sublime in
fluence. A Mary turned from the instru
ment I cought her eye. Mine were dim
with moisture, but hers were bright gleam
ing with seraphic light.
F.ro many weeks had passed, another
hand pressed the keys of the organ for Mary
was not in the choir. She kuelt before the
altar by my side and over us both the
aged clergyman stretched his hands with
prayer aud blessing.
And wo went out from the church togeth

honor and cherish forever more.

following is the list:

would not permit the name of a "Lincoln
hireling," as the party organs call them, on

presented his namo before tho convention
for a minor office, but ho was rudely thrust
aside.
Cambria county. This stronghold of
Coppcrheadisin would not allow a soldier
ou the ticket.
C,u!"ii and Monroe. This citadel of De
mocracy cast the soldier aside.
Centre county. The leaders of the Demo
cratic party here have given the soldier the
cold shoulder none were nominated.
Clarion ami Jef'erxm. Tho soldier stood
no chance for any office iu this dark Copper
head region. .
Cliarjitlil county. Tho home of William
A. Wallace, the chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee, the residence of Higler, had
no office for tho soldier no, not one, but
has insulted every friend of the soldier by
the icnoiniuation ot I. .leiierson uoyer ior

Most grape growers delay pruning their
vines till spring. This we think a bad prac
ticc. If they wish to make cuttings ol tho
surplus canes, they are not near as good as
if taken off in :ho fall and carefully buried
or put awny till spring. The wood is fre
quently so much injured by the winter as
not to grow iu the spring.
Hut the wood left for producing fruit is
better lor being pruned in the fall. It is
much more easily protected, ns it can readi
ly be laid clown nnd covered slightly with
earth, nud if we havo a severe winter it is
safe. Indeed we think it would pay to pro
tect vines iu this way even in our mildest
winters.
It is not for the nrofecfion of l,n vi...
I alone, however, that we recommend full
I pruning. It is to strengthen tho buds and
; canes w hich are left. Many may think that
I it will have ho such effect. Hut if they will
j prune two vines iu the same manner one
j in tho fall ns soon as the leaves arc destroy
j ed by the frost, and the other the following
I spring they will find that fall pruned vines
will be mtich more vigorous and productive
I the ensuing summer. Tho viue is not dead
j in winter; its roots continue to absorb food.

in summer. The nutriment thus absorbed
is distributed throughout the vine. All the

buds remotest from the roots always receivo
the principal How of sup, they are most
benefitted. Now by nruiiinir in the fall, nil
j this is saved iu the buds And cauo we have
I left for bearing. It is upon this principlo
I that we always prune iu tho fall or winter
lor wood. Uy summer pruning wo check
wood growth, as all know.
Tho buds that nro left will become
strengthened by the sap they have received
during winter. They will push early nnd
vigorously in spring : and, it well cured for,
will delight the eyes of beholders with tho
largo clusters of luscious fruit that they pro

In order to secure soundness and preserva
tion, it is indispensably necessary that tho
fruit should . be gathered by hand. For
winter fruit the gathering i3 delayed as long
as possible, avoiding severe frosts, and the
most successful practice with our extensive
i orehnrdists is to place the good fruit direct-

ij in u tauciui manner m new, tag lit nour
barrels, ns soon as gathered from tiio tree.
Theso barrels should be gently shaken whilo
lilling, nnd tho head closely pressed it) ; they
are then placed in a cool, shady exposure,
under a shed open to tho air, or on the north
side of a building, protectiid by 11 covering
of boards on the top, where they remain l'or
a fortnight, or until the cold bee imes too
severe, when they nre carefully transferred
to a cool, dry cellar, in which air can bo
admitted occasionally in brisk weather.
A cellar for this purpose should be dlir
j in dry, gravelly or sandy soil, with, if possi-
oie, a slope to the north, or, at any rate,
with openings on the north side for "tho ad
mission of air very rarely in weather not
excessively cold, ilere the barrels should
be placed ou their sides, and the cellar
should bo kept as dark us possible. In such a
cellar one of the largest upple growers iu
