"So nse fretticir auoct it now

"That's true enough but very hard ; Qne pleasant sommer eveniDg' he
to prictice, I imagine. IIow :(i strtlied do n by the rirer, an J un

all this money? Largo eura I be

TPTl ipd Coster as composedly as if
the sums were but the same number
of cents, or belonged to some one
else.
"And he lost it?"
"Yes, that's juBt it ppeculatiny,'
interrupted Sidney, as his friend
glanced inquirinely at him. .
"And you, Sidney, what will you
)
"Why go to work, of course!
What else is there to do ?"
"Work! Sidney Coster at work!
He the daintiest and most wealthy
aristocrat of us all, at work ! V by
the idea is preposterous and absurd."
The sneeiing laugh which follow
ed these words nettled his listener,
and roused all the manhood within
him.
"And why shouldn't I work or
you cither, for that matter ? God
intended that all his creatures should
earn their bread, and because we
have always lived and grown in the
sun of pleasure, and eaten the bread
of idleness, is it any reason why we
always should ? Out upon such ideas,
I say ! and away with this false
pride, that will permit a gentleman
to swindle, lie, gamble and steal, and
not lower himself ; but abases him to
the dust if he dares to honestiy cara
bis hvinc. It a all wronar. I will not
be bound by ill"'
He showed by his earnest look
that be meant it, every word. Harts
ton was aghast at sucn leveling ideas,
and said :
"Just as yoa please, of course,
Coster. Yon are roar own master.
But, of course, if you choose to put
yourself down in the dirt, yoa wont
expect your friends to come down to
the same level. I for one would
never think of associating with a
man who worked for a living."
Sidney Coster's lip curled in con
tempt cf each a character. II irtston
continued:
"Why don't you go ahead, old fel
low, and marry some rich girl? Y'oa
are a good-looking fellow and might
very easily do it '
"What an honorable thing that
would be, wouldn't it? I would
ramer starve man tnus aegraae my-
p'-U and deoeive m woman !"
"As you please. Good-day!" And
one "friend 7 was gone
Coster looked after him a moment,
and iu spite of his brave words befell
bitter against the fate that had made
him a poor man. It was a pleasant
lire, this tbat he had been leading,
aad it was bard to rive it up.
The next thing to do was to search
for employment lie possessed noth
ing in the world but his clothes and
a small amount of jewelry relics of
his former butterfly existence and a
heart full of courage. He did not
know how to wok, bad never at
tempted even the slightest details of
business, but he set resolutely about
the task before him.
He walked the city for days and
day, but all in vain. " No one want
ed him. There were plenty of situ
ations, but when his qualifications
were asked he was forced to tell the
miserable truth and confess that he
knew just nothing. IIow bitterly
lie regretted now, in his hour of
need, that he had not spent the
nours wnicu Le bad wasted in ac
quiring bis accomplishments, in
learning something that would help
him in his ctrait. Kegrets were age
less, and be went steadily forward
upon the bard path of duty.
At last be lost all hopes of find
ing employment la the city, and
turned bis face toward the spreading
Celd3, and shady groves, and content
ed, peace homes of God's own land,
the country, ne did not know what
be should do there ; he bad not a
friend in the wide world, he thought,
who cared whether he lived or died.
Where bis un;le the unhappy cause
of bis misfortune had gone he did
not know. He only knew be was
alone, tired, and heart sick, and dis
couraged, turning with a longing
heart from the hot and dusty city
streets, to the fresh, green meadows
of the country.
He went. For two days be tramp
ed siowiy along, sick in mind and in
body. He bad tried again and again
xo una employment as be came
along, but still the Earns helplessness
ot ignorance was his bane barrier
He was sick, very sick, and knew not
where be might lay bis weary bead.
At last be fell, and new no more.
After the long blank and darkness
be had a dreamy sense of a pleasant
shaded room ; or open vine covered
windows, filled with fresh pure
flowers; of a kind hearty, rugged
face that came and looked at him,
and then spoke cheerily to another
kind and motherly face that
hovered over him oftener, and
smoothed his pillows, and brushed
back bis clustering hair, matted with
bis restless ferer tossings ; of another
face an angel he dreamed it was
younger, and so fresh and sweet that
the very sight of it seemed to put
him far on his road to health again.
This face did not come as oftea as
the others. It would steal softly iu
for a moment with the other faces ;
and even then, if he happened to be
" wonia am out again in a
frightened manner, tnd as th dor
passed on and he grew better, it did
not come at- all ; and then be grew
impatient to get well and find m here
it had gone. -
At last the pleasant morning came
that he was well enough to walk out
nd eit oa the pleasant porch ; and
then, unasked by them, for they were
too kind to intrude upon his secrets,
lie told them all his story, -end thev

ston sitting silently beside the eld
tree that grew upon the water's edge.
She started to her feet and would
have run away, bat te gently de
tained her with his arm.
"Why do you always void me,
Hattie'?' he aiked, trying to look
into her averted face.
She made no reply, and only turn
ed farther away from him. .
"Do you then dislike me so much,
Hattie ?". Le aeked reproachfully.
The look she -flashed upon him
was direct denial of the charge,
and yet sbo would not speak.
"I love you so dearly and so ten
derly that mj whole life mast bo a
sadene if you do not love rue in re
turn. You do not wish my life to be
that, do you Hattie?" '
The answer came so slow ana
faint that he had to bend his ftce
close down to hear the soft little
whisper.
"o; not that!"
He bent 60 low that his face al
most touched hers, and then he saw
it was rosy red, with now and then
a tear sparkled upon it like a dia
mond. He thought she was pained
and in distress. "I am so sorry,
Hattie. I did not mean to give you
pain."
She stopped him with a little fin
ger pressed upon his lips ; tnd n6w
she looked up, grown bolder in her
joy.
"Can you not see that I am only
happy? that I am crying for that
very happiness?" and she smiled
lovingly through her tear?.
"You love mo. thea, darllag?" he
asked as he drew her closer to him,
and bent dowa ' to look witLia her
eyes. "Yes, yes ! I bare loved yoa
so much ever since "
- i.ver since when:" he aked, as
she paused in aweet confusion, and
her oM tbyness returned. ". ';
"Ever since the day you fell out
there ia the road and we brought yon
in." ... . .. . f :
They said no more just then ; what
need? the silence is full of words' to
lovers, and they are more 'Content
with this. .!." . -
"Will I let rou have her ? ! Of
course I will 1 and glad of the chance
to give bcr to so good a . husband !"
said Farmer Iloy?toa when 'Sidney
asked him for his prize ; and the good
wife spoke likewise.
Ana so the days rolled rapidly
along toward the one appointed for
the wedding. And on that very
morning a letter came from the ab
sent uncle. It was as follows : -
Dear Sidney: ' -
"The speculations
that we thought bad ruined you
have turned out splendid. I have
in my possession over one hundred
and seventy five thousand dollars,
all yours. Come and take posession
at ence."
Then followed his uncie's address
and signature.
Not until after they were married
did he show the letter to his bride.
She rejoiced at his good fortune for
his sake and said ; "You were poor,
Sidney, when I married you; o you
see I loved you for yourself alone."
His rich friends would have come
back to him, but they found no wel
come. He had tried them, and they
were found wanting.

When planting, don't dig a bole
like a bowl cistera,; but dig it just as
deep as the soil Is," and do 'deeper ;
make the bottom ae-tbird larger
round than the top, and loosen up the
very bottom. Then, as the tree is
planted,' throw H first an inch of
real good, fresh, risb, soil; set the
tree, holding it with ooe hand while
on your knees you spread its roots
carefully with the other; let the as
sistant drop the dirt in upon the roots
as be would if he bad a sieve, and,
as it is dropped in, do yoa who hold
the tree upon your bended knees,
work ever root carefully out straight
on a level line with the point or
junction of it with the 'main stems,
use the fingers outspread ia mingling
the fine dirt with the root3, and be
careful that not an air space is left at
the bottom, and alio . that tb earth
upon the lower roots , is packed the
hardest or tightest of any. .
As yoa reach the upper roots only
see that each root is sorely surround
ed with earth, and then fet the last
four inches of earth . be sprinkled on
with a spade or shovel, without
pressure of foot or anything ele;
don't even flat it with the shove!,
and be sure to keep your own and
Paddy's feet off, for eery, pressure

The green paper used to wrap
lozenges, sold in shops, railroad cars,
and on street corners, ha3 long been
suspected to contain arsenic, and
with the view ot ascertaining tee
facts by analysis recently purchased
a roll of lozenges covered with this
paper. A qualitative examination of
this paper afforded all the characteris
tic reactions of arsenic and copper.
The wrapper contained twenty square
inches of paper. Of this sixteen were
taken for qualitative analysis. The
result of the examination showed that
this portion contained 2.41 gains, or
2.94 grains in the whole of the wrap
per a quantity sufficient to destroy
life in an adult person. Children in
all parts of the country are allowed to
purchase the lozenges covered with
this poisonous paper, and the roils
often put into the bands of infants as
a plaything. As everything goes in
to the mouth of young children, it is
easy to see that no more dangerous
substance can paS3 into a family than
these packajr.es of confectionary. It
is o.uite probable that instances of
poisoning have occurred from this
cause which have been of a serious or
fatal character. There should be
laws prohibiting the use of poisonous
paper for any purpose.
Perrbfron and Struu IIorc.
Withia the past few years quite a
large number of stallions of these
breeds1 have been brought to this
country. The preference of most of
our breeders is given to tfcem decid
edly over the Clydesdales, and they
are used with grand success upon
mares of all breeds and sizes. Even
the little Indian Pony mares will
bear to great Percheron stallions foals
which as yearlings are as big, or big
ger, than themselves, aud it is abun
dantly proved that size is not an es
sential qualification in mares to pro
duce large colts by these horses,
contrary as this is to the views which
prevailed a few years ago, namely,
that the best system of breeding was
to put, roomy mares to well-knit and
compact stallions smaller than them
selves. The demand in all of our large
cities now for heavy, quick-stepping,
draught horses, a pair of which will
step off with five tons over ?. good
pavement, ia so great that our farmers
must be wide awake to meet it.
Such teams will bringe $?00 to $1
200. They ought not to be put to
hard labor before they are five or six
years old; but from the time they
are three until they are old will do
all the farm work and not feel it.
As this style of horse increases in
the country, the desirability of keep
ing the mares for breediag will lead
to our using heavier teams for farm
work, which will be greatly to our
advantage.
Keeping Winter Apple
A member f the Michigan
logical ' Society stated, at
Pomo
a late
Adrian meeting, that he was very
successful ia keeping winter apples,
and had secured sound, fresh fruit in
May, by the following treatment:
He picks the fruit in October, and
places it ia heaps in the rcbard and
covers them with hay. ..These heaps
remain untouched till December, the
slight moisture of the earth and the
few inches of hay. preventing any iu
jury to the apples, even during sharp
freezes. They are then assorted and
packed in barrels, which, after head
ing up, are placed ia a cold cellar,
which is kept at a temperature of
about thirty-two degrees, and if it
should happen to bo a few degrees
lower for a short time, the protection
of the barrels will prevent any injury.
They come out sound in the spring.

one is liable to lc placed in circum
