George Wavlaud locked straight ! from Lls bair into Maggie Carroll's brown eyes as . aitl ri F- Gootl kre. Mg he spoke and saw the sudden glow of : fi"10- love in them, as thev met for a sec- i Almost before Maggie could recov ond his ardent gaz'e, and tLen LiJ!or from her surprise at his wild, ab under their blue veiled, siiken fringe.'. I : uVl wa.r Le ' oflr. tis footsteps lid:; I fhall prize it highly, George, and the more from the' fact that you wear one-half while I wear the oth er." "But will you wear it always, un der all circumstances." "Alwayp, under all circumstances," she repeated merrily. He neatly severed the narrow, thin cross, and fastened one cectioa to his watchchain, aad the other to the piece of narrow velvet Maggie had bought and that he tied tor her around her white throat. "1 lite it lienor tnan a nn George," she said, bv!v; "because . - - , "e everv tine knows who is enirazeu just locking at their left hand." "As if I wouldn't like every soul in .Ueadowsnle to know 1 Lad won i Meadowside to know I had won von mv 4.I1V brown-f-vtil dnrlino.

"Despite even Cora Adrians' fool-j It was not until she Lad retired to isb jealously; while I feel Xed Mor-! her own room, and stood before her rison, whom I did cut out unmerci-' dressing bureau to arrange her hair fullv, didn't I V I for the night, that she missed it. A little t-bawdow- passed over Maggie's face, and instinctively she clun? to her lover s arm. "Oh George! Iam actualiv afraid of Xed. latclv. Onlv last nijrht he said I'd be sorry yet that I refused him He's so moros and sulltn since since " She blushed a little, and George magnanimously helped her through. "Since I asked and was not refused by those sweet lips. Xever mind Xed, Mairgie. Xaturally he feels jealous. 1 would, myself, under reversed circumstances. Hut all this has nothing to do with our promise to wear tbe little gold cross while we are separated for these three months, that are so close at hand. But! Maggie, my little girl, if ever the time should come mind, I have no Ilea that it will but if it should come, that you want to be released from me, all you've to do is to send jour half of the cross to me. It w ill be the mute token of misery." Utit Maggie smiled up in his face cheerfully. ' If all the misery you ever antici pate conies by means of this little messenger," and she laid her hand lightly on the glittering trinket, "rest assured you'll have little of it Hut, Sir, Knight, suppose yon weary of my colors: What then?" He folded her tightly in his arms and kissed her. "As if I could ever change ?' So the two, in that blissful, pain ful parting, that seemed ages to them, renewed their vows. The old story, yet ever new. The cheerful rays of the astral lamp on the round, crimson-covered table, beamed over Maggie Carroll's white fingers, and flashed like a spark of liquid silver on her tiny thimble and polished needle, as her hands flew gracefully over her work. She bad cleared away the tea dishes, and her parents had gene to a friend's. Little Bessie lay sleep ing cn the lounge, with the light shaded from her eyes, and Maggie with a garment she was making for one of her bridle outfits, bad settled happily cosily down to ber evening's work, thinking with every stitch she set of George Wayland, by this time away out in Omaha, where he would gain a good many hundred dollars in putting the machinery in a new mill money that would start them nice ly at housekeeping. Maggie's pleasant reverie was dissi pated by an impatient rap on tbe sit ting room door, followed, before sbe could unfasten ber work from her thrown aud go to tbe door, it was knee, open by Xed Morrison. "Don't get up, Maggie, I can find a chair for myself. I've been here often enough to make myself at borne, Lean't I ? for all I don't appear to be particularly wanted." set T A I1LISHED, 1 8 ii PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL S. 1874. Maggie's electa flamed at the iost uated want of hopitalitj, but che very pleasantly arose and plaeed a chair near the tire. . ' Oh, no, X'cd, vou only imagine : we don't want to see you. Sit down. Ain't vou cold ? Mother and Father are gone " ; "I don't care where they are gone. I eanie to see rou, and none but you." He drew his chair away from the Ere, and near the table where Mag- ' gic sat ! "Well, Xed, here I am for you to j see." Sbe was determined not to allow her annoyances to escape her, so she assumed from the Erst a friendly, cheery tone. And it molified Xed as I she intended it should. ''I was a little rough on the old folks Maggie but the troth is, since ! since you and that Wayland fel- low have been such friends, I see i precious little of you anyway.' j .Maggie could have bitten her tongue to have prevented the blush j she felt surging over her face. "I would naturally see more of my i betrothed husband than merely a friend. XeJ, please hand me the scis- sors." j She did not lift Ler eyes, but slipped ; her thread silently, and went on sew : ing while Xed toyed with the scis jsors moodily. Finally, almost ab ruptly, he spuke. "I'll get out and leave you in : jeace, Maggie, if you'll give me one of your curls to remember you by." Maggie smiled indulgently, secret ; Iv thankful at such a cheap release. "Vou may have any curl you want ; Xed, and welcome. Only, you must not take it as a pledge of bani-sliment, Xed." And now Mag Igie laid down her sewing, and j looked into his moody half-scorned ! face ' I wish for your sake it had been as you desire. But as it is not Us I am so content, let it all be for , gotten. Which curl will you have ? ! She leaned her head toward him i coquetishly ; and he, awkwardly, cut one off close to her neck : so close j the cold steel made her start I The moment he had severed it. he ! threw down the scissors, thrust the i curl 5n Lis pocket in a wad, and arose , ringing loud on the frozen ground, His eves were brighter than usual, and his face fairly worked with exul tation as he drew the tangled black curl from his pocket ; and with it a band of black velvet, to which a tiny, plain gold cross attached. Littlv did my lady know I cut the velvet with the curl, and only beg ged the hair that I might secure the cross. r.ittlO did tbe Inn era tiiisae them know I overheard their sugar candy romance about tbe token of the cross. But if George Wayland don't get this back before I'm a week old er, it'll bo strange. Trust either of j rn explanation , tney re too iTilO'iiov Vtrnn.I ? ... ... .... : t '"o-v i And Maggie went on with Ler e . l 'sewing for another hour in bli SalUl i unconsciousness 01 me loss 01 ner ! treasure, Aiterward sue and iessic and then she missed it, at the first j glance in the glass. I Jt was down stairs, ol course, on ' the floor, where it had fallen when she and Bessie had their game of fun ; or O ! suppose se had lost it on the street on the way to the Post office! It was very probable, very, and when she had crept softly down stairs, lamp in hand, and thoroughly searched the sitting-room in vain, she knew it w as really lost on the street What would George say of ber care lessness ? How could the velvet have become untied, and with a little Ct of crying over her loss, Maggie went to bed and dreamed of w ading ankle deep through gold crosses. Gorge Wayland, on his way home from a hard day's work, stopped in the post-office in the far off Western city for the long delayed letter' from Maggie Carroll. It had been a fort night now, since he bad received the last, and a worried sort of feeling took possession of him at the delay. Was Maggie ill? awav from home or George bated himself for the ugly thought that more than once flitted unbidden across bis mind Morrison's heir-ship to a long dispu ted estate, that Maggie rould have changed her mind . Yes . it was barely possible, and that was all. George decided ; and when the mail was at last opened, and tbe rush at tbe boxes were lessened somewhat, and George actually saw there was one for him, be felt it was very im possible. But be shook ith surprise and sick fear to see Xed Morrison's band writiug. What was tbe news in the sealed envelope? He tore it rudely open, and wrap pod in a tissue paper, dropped iu his trembling bands Maggie's gold cross ! Not a word ; only this mute sign the very token he had suggested ! How contemptuous the blank piece of paper seemed to him, and how unutterably mocking did his name, in Xed Morrison's handwriting ap pear. So, not only possible that Maggie could throw him over, but actually undeniably tbe fact, that sbe bad done so. And Jhe away out West, with but one friend bis companion in labor. Maggie's cousin Jim and stinting to save money for Maggie, and worked day and night for her sake. O ! was it any wonder he gnashed his teeth in a rage of grief? He crushed his letter into his pocket and drew bis cap down over bis eyes, and strode on, dumb from the blow, nev er seeing, never bearing Jim Carroll, who hrd got a letter from home, and, having read it, was waiting to deliv er the message? to George." "What can ail that man ?" thought Jim, with wonder, and he' started 7. after, and stepped on some little, nara object as be put his foot down. lie stooped and picked np the little gol den cross. "George has lost it off his watch chain, I suppose." He put it in his pocket and went on, intending to overtake Wayland acd give bim his lost trinket " But, by dint of fast walking, maybe, George was out of sight And on the morrow one of the hands gave him a pencil note from Wayland : "I've a little business to attend to further down for a week or so. Keep things going on. Back as soon as 1 can. , . G. W." Then, when Jim started off on his day's work, it suddenly occurred to bim that, as George would be away probably more than a week, he would send his cross home for a week for safe-keeping. He knocked around so among tbe machinery, that it might get broken or lost, and he knew George prized it highly. So the fates w illed it that he had no time to write a note he thrust into an en velope lying on George's desk, al ready directed to Maggie, and sent it on an ill-omened message, all uncon scious of the mischief he was brew ing by the act. The long Winter passed away somehow or other, but Maggie Car roll hardly knew. It was enough for her she had been very wretched and unutterably miserable since a day, months past, when, without a word of warning sbe had received from George Wayland the cross he had solemnly swore to always wear for ber sake. Xed Morrison, too, bad seemed m delighted when be learned how such pitiful feats do leak out that it was all over with Maggie and George, and full of pomposity and self-impor tance over his inheritance, bad tor mented Maggie half crazy to accept bim. And now when even his dull head had been made to know it was im possible, and be bad transfered his at tentions and affections to Amv Har row, he was to be married and George Wayland and Jim Carroll were cominz no me on the same night .now it was sundown, and in an hour they would meet, for George wa3 obliged to see Maggie s father on business at the earliest moment And so she dressed in the self-same snit she had worn that night George had tied the velvet around ber neck, a cart, ciaret-siis dress, and in a painful memory of that dear past, fastened the cross in its old place. George Wayland should see sbe bad kept her word if he bad not She would let bim know that though carelessness lost her hers, still she would be true to him no matter how false be was to ber. And so when her father called ber down from her room, she went with slow listless footsteps, and wildly throbbing heart that wonld not be still, to meet the man she loved so dearly, the man who had ceased to regard her al most as soon as he was out of her presence. Sbe bad heard his voice so round and full, and so sweet to her hungrv ears, before the door that stood ajar. "Xed Morrison to be married to-night to little Amy Harrows! Why I thought " and that very moment Maggie walked quietly in, her face pale a3 death, ber blue eyes burning like stars. "George, I am clad to see you. How do vou do ?" She extended her hand and looked him frankly in the face. And why should she not ? Maggie had natu rally supposed that be would have been perfectly careless, utterly indif ferent, and here he was actually trembling like a man with an ague. Had he been conscious smitten at sight of her loyalty flaunted so open ly in the very face of bis treachery : 'Yes,' Maggie was deciding, "it was the cross that made " and then George's voice, this time low, intense, addressed ber: "Maggie, can you explain away this sickening mystery ? I nnd to my utter demoralization, that Xed is to be married, and not to you. And yet the cross came to me in bis hand writing. All over Maggie's face flamed tbe red surges. Her lost treasure found by Xed Morrison, and sent, oh, so maliciously ! to George Wayland. And then a giddy, blinding rush of happiness almost choked ber. "O, George! I lost it somehow, somewhere. I never knew. Do you think, really, I could have been so so " Her tears swelling thick and fast almost choked her. "But this cross, Maggie, that you have on ?" "It came in a blank letter one day, two or three weeks after I lost mine, and I supposed you wanted to get rid of me. You know what you said." Wayland looked thunderstricken. "I have mine at this moment I have been true as steel. See !" He threw back bis overcoat ; there was tbe tiny cross attached to his watcbain. "Oh George I" "Maggie, my ova darling !" It was utterlv incomprehensible to them, but they loved each other, and what did they care? That evening, when all the family, with the two guests, were sitting around the fire, Jim Carroll asked Maggie it she ever received tbe little cross he sent her, and then it was as plain as snnshine, although none of them ever knew of Xed Morrison's theft, nor in tbeir new blissful happi ness did they care.

It is a labyrinth or drain pipes, water pipes, gas pipes and underground railways. There are points in the soil of London where it would be extremely difficult to find room for another pipe. One companT .lone the gas Light nd Coke Company supplied two dis tricts with nearly 400 miles of pipes varying in diameter from three inches to four feet These are the main pipes merely, and from them every house and street lamp receives on an average six or eight feet of small piping. In addition to these, and tee underground telegraph wires, there are no less than 2,500 miles of drain pipes of various dimentions. Less familiar to us, but no less important are the lead and iron tubes leaden pipes with outer castings of iron along which written messages, pack ed in little felt and guttapercha causes are blown from station te station. The convenience of these messages is immense. A steam engine forces in a blast of air, and in about a minute it travels a distance of 90 yards. There are at tbe present thirteen stations underground railway; and as the people walk upon the streets of London, electricity is flashing rues, sages above their beads, and little missives are whizzing and darting just under their feet As many as 1,500 messages pass to and iro in a day. The drains age system of Lon dou presents a world of underground streets, some two or three thousand in extent All the drains empty into three great sewers running parallel with the Thames, which sewera con nect in the neighborhood of Victoria Park, and through Barking Creek discharge into the river. Men are constantly employed keeping these drains in repair. Londoners never pour a pail of water down a drain but at the depths of that mysterious aperture somebody is making way for it A stranger, properlv costum ed, cad ciplore these depths, which resemble vaulted galleries, in the sides of which are traps forming vari ous small channels. When the storm waters come, as they some times do during a thunder-plump the torrent is fearful; so much so that upon several occasions men have lost their lives. Batter 1st Frmsiro. If our dairvraen need a spur, an eye opener, lesson which speaks vol umes in three words, here is one at tbe head of this article. But ter is actually brought from Franco and sold by the Xew York dealers. And this is thns because there is an actual scarcity in the market of good butter put up in attractive shape for small customers. When we know that one dairyman gets $1 15 a pound for bis product, another $1, and another 5 cents tbe year round, at bis dairy door, it is easily seen that it will pay to bring butter across the ocean from France, if it is only good and shapely enough to suit the fastideous purchasers who will bare something nice whatever it may cost All this butter is made from choice cows, choicely fed on ciean, sweet food ; the milking is done in the cleanest manner. The milk is handled as carefu'iy as though it was nectar ; the cream is churned with utmost care by clock and ther mometer, tbe butter is worked with skill, and is made np -in shapely cakes, which do not require to be cut when brought to the table. Conn- pare, tnen, this cake bard golden yellow, sweet, fragrant and tempting to all tbe senses wuh an unsightly chunk, which is cot out of a greasy keg, and smells of old age and ran cidity, and is made from ill kepi cream from cows filthily lodged aod carelessly milked, and is churned anyhow, and the difference ia amply accounted for.
