The broad, low brow,

here was now a higher beauty than
Eosanna's pink-and-wbite loveliness
had ever been, and the treasures cf
ber mind and heart might wtll have
won an older and wiper man to love
her long before Elihu came home.
And now she drew a long breath,
aod set herself to recall all the inci
dents of that sudden and ftanling
return.
Tea was over the milk was strain
ed and they were all sitting on the
front ninzza. under the shade of the
maples and locusts, while ber father
read bits from th? weekly paper
aloud. Her step-mother was kuit

hat, aud ber brother Ben was whit
tling out a toy boat from a bit of
wood, while she Sara, sat beside him
and. held bis tools as be needed them,
and lost I erself in a reverie about
our bero in the sonth.
A carriage drove up the village
r..d and baited at their gate. The
driver descended to bis seat and beck
oned to ber father, who hurried down
to the gate to meet him. After talk
ing for some tirae together, a small
trunk was lifted down and left beside
the gate. Then the carriage-door
was opened and a tall figure descend
ed, and, directly after, Ben, who bad
followed bis father in a fit f boyish
curiosity, galloped back with distend
ed eves, whispering loudly:
"Mother girls! Cousin Elibu has
come! And be has lost every cent of
bis property down south! I heard
the driver tell father so! And they
have sent hiiu off up here, alone, be
cause they thought he was going to

leaning on father and the driver, and
he can't but just walk. Isn't it a
blamed shame of these southeners?"
"Merry 1" exclaimed Ben's step
tnother, rising, as they all rose, when
the tall, slender figure approached.
Sara looked up with her heart in
her eyes, to greet cur bero no less
a hero to ber for the pitiful history of
loss and ruin she bad just beard
He was a tall, upright, elegant
looking man, ith a fair complexion,
largo, melancholy blue eyes, a long
straight nose, drooping eyebrows,
fine lips, and a firmly rounded chin,
that somewhat counteracted the list
less sadness of the face. His hair
was turning gray, and the heavy,
golden brown .moustache bad sonic
one or two threads of silver, but
with that exception be wore no look
cf age.
Elibn was well but plainly dressed
in a traveling suit of gray. He re
moved bis bat as be drew near the
ladies, with a courteous grace ; but
lie locked in vain for the warm wel
come from the second Mrs. Holmes
and ber daughter Grace that be
would have received from his own
cousin bad she been alive.
Mrs. Holmes bowed to bim coldly
though civilly; and Grace, angry
with Lim and with herself for the
sudden collapsing of sundry ambi
tious hopes whisb she bad never con
fided to anyone except her mother,
swept bim ber latest dancing-school
courtesy, and affected nt to see the
hand he held out.
Klihn colored slightly, and turned
to Sara, whose large dark eyes were
fixed with a lok of tender pity upon
bis refined and melancholy face.
"You have a face that I ought to
know," he said to ber gently. "Yon
are my consin's child, dear Sara! 1
hoped she would be here to meet me
when I came home at last."
Sara'a heart was already fu!!, and
this reference to ber dead mother
caused her teara to overflow.
"Hear Cousin Elihu," said she,
taking his hand in both ber?, "my
mother remembered and loved you to
the last day of her life. She "would
bave ueea giaa indeed to see you
here once more ; I am glad. too. All
my life long I have looked forward
to your coming."
"But ycu did not expect to see me
return 60 poor," said Elihu, sighing.
"Poor or rich, it matters little," re
plied Sara fervently. "You are here
at home once more, and that is
enough to make us all rejoice.''
"Aye," eaid Elibu, looking from
her beaming countenance to the cold
faces of the rest "I should have
been glad to bring gold enough to
make me welcome. But what has

show' the ruined man any attention,
and onlv koked at him wistfully now
and then, as if wondering when be

Elihu's plate, knife and fork were
placed upon the table at every meal.
it is true, lie larea as tue ie.-i ui,
and his room and bed were the best
in the house.
l'.ut this was Sara's doing. To her
and to Ben, he owed each moment of
happiness which he enjoyed in the
! old house. The sister and her young
brother were al ways glad to be witu
him, but the other inmates of the
house looked over nod around bim,
and even when he ate of their bread
aud drank of '.heir cup, seemed as if
they knew him not. Sara's proud
spirit blazed up for his sake at a thou
sand petty insults and affronts each
dav. She wondered privately to her
self, and alond to Ben, bow cousin
Elihu, with the memory of his past
..-nitk ami frnndeur fresh in bis
mind, could endure it ! Nor was she
surprised when, one pleasant evening
just four weeks after bis arrival,
Elihu told her be must go.
"I cannot blame you, so shameful
ly have you been treated," she said,
while her heart sank down in her
breast, like a stone sinking into tne
depths of the tiny lake on whose
banks Ibey sat. "But where will you
go, Cousin Elihu? What will you
do ? You were iil when you came
here, and thanks to their.unkindness,
vou are not vet well and strong
enough to care for yourself. O, it
is a shame a shame!" she broke out
again. "And if you bad come rich
aa ther expected, every one of them
would have been at your feet."
Cousin Elibu smiled the smile that
always brightened ber melancholy
ffi till in her eves it was the no-
blest, handsomest face on earth.
"Never mind them, Sara," said be;
"r nil nnd r.en have been so rood to

He paused and looked at her.
"Sura, when I am gone, will you
miss mc ?"
The tears rose to ber eyes.
"O, bow ean you ask? You know,
Elihu, that when you gol shall think

She hid ber face in her band and
sobbed aloud.

Harper' Magazine for May.
Thoma3 Meehan, editor of the
Gardener's Monthly, answers tins
question by saying that "if any one
thinks plantB need water, be can try
by stopping up tho hole in the bot
tom of a flower pot, in which a plant
is growing. This will be one of the
best ways of learning that the es
sence of all good culture is to get rid
of the water in the soil &s soon as
possible. This is the great principle
that underlies tho piactice of under
draining land. We want moist air
in soil, not water, 'i irm potting ia-
vor a large amount of air spaces, ii
soil is moderately dry, the more we
'pound' it, the more we pulverize it,
and pulverization means dividing in
to minute particles. The more par
ticles the more spaces tne more
6paces, the more porous is the mass.
Every pore contains air, aau iu
is moist air, and it is on this moisture
that the plants draw. There is no
difference in the manner by which a
root draws moisture from the atmos
phere undir the ground, and that by
which the root oi an air piaui, u
moisture above the ground. If you
take the earth in which a Wealthy
plant is growing, and handle it you
will find no water in it; and you will
perhaps find it moist enough to damp
en a piece of paper. We do not know
that any amount of pressure would
squeeze water out ot some sous in
which plants grow healthy, though
possibly moist air might be so com
pressed as to make water. Indeed
the matter seems so clear to us, that
we supposed it would be necessary
only to state it to insure conviction.
And we wonder very much that writ
ers still continue to use the word
water, when they speak of the nec
essary conditions in the food ot
plants."

Why Wet ra " Drained.
Free access of atmospheric air to
every part of the soil is of the ut
most importance. The air assists the
various processes of decomposition
by which dead animal and vegetable
matter is made to yield products or
the highest ralue as elements of food
of plants. If the soil is full of water,
lt onri the mr cannot eel into tue
soil to perform this office. Hence,
draining bv drawing oU tbc water
beneath, gives the air ree admission
to the 6oii, ami pacu suui vi u.u,
by displacing the air already preseut,
and then falling through the soil run

the supply ot fresh air. In this way

Draining removes mis, ana neucc uc
plants send down tneir roots ueeper.
Consequently tne capaouuy oi ab
sorbing nourishment is greatly in
creased. It is these increased depths
of the roots in well drained soil,
which render the crops growing on
them less liable to suffer from drouth
than those on imperfectly drained
land.
Although rain, washing the surtace
and running off by open cnanneia,
may and does dissolve and wash a
considerable quantity of nutritive
matter, the wjter which sinks into
the land carries these nutritive sub
stances deeper down into the soil
and deposits them into the lower por
tions where the roots of .the plants
are to be found, and where these
roots can seize and absorb these sol
uble matters. Draining causes the
rain to pass through a considerable
thickness if soil before it runs off,
and hence it causes less loss of nutri
tive matter than is occasioned by rain

Klibu waited till her grief bad ex
hausted itself and then took ber
hand.
"What you say is all very true,
Sara. I am not lit to go out into the
world alone. Will you go with me?
You have a good home here, I know,
but if I have you to work for, I will
soon give you a better one. And by-and-bvc
Den can come to us. and we
will make a man of bim. Will you
be my wife, Sara ?"'
She looked at him with all the sol
emn fervor of a woman s love and
devotion shining in her eyes.
"If you will take nie, Elihu, and
let mc care for you, I shall le the
happiest creature on earth. From
the moment when I saw you come
in at the farni-cato. from the moment
when 1 knew thai your fortune was
gone, and that you were ill aud alone
in the world, I have prayed that you
might love n;e. I don't care where
our borne is or w bt it is, so that we
share it together. I can be happier
with ycu in a log but than I could be
with anyone else ia a palace ; for you
need n"e, Klibu, and I I have
thought and dreamed of vou, and, I
really believe, loved you from the
day when my mother lirs-t told me
about vou, when 1 was sitting at ber
knee."
So they were betrothed, and, after
a storm at the farm bouse, when ber
decision was first made known. Sara
followed the fortunes cf ber lover
to a distant city where they were
married.
Den went with ber as her protec
tor and "best man." Her father kiss
ed her and cried over her, as he bade
her farewell, and put a pocketbook
containing five hundred dollars into
ber hand for the wedding portion.
"Ican't go with you to give you
away, my dear, and" I can't let you
be married here," said the poor man.
"I shall never hear the last of it if
I do; and I'm getting old now, and
I want peace and quiet in my own
home. Dut God bless you.'Sara, and
your husband that is to be. Poor
Elihu! Your mother loved bim dear
ly, and I don't know a fault be has
in the world, except that be is poor."
So strengthened by ber father's ap
proval and blessing, Sara approached
the altar to consecrate her life to the
hero of ber dreams.

A lady correspondent of the Puui-
tnj JluUdin says:
"I do not know if other persons
who raise poultry and pet birds are
as much dependent aa I am on red
pepper; but I have found so much
benefit from its use in my poultry
yards and bird cages, that it may not
be amiss to call the attention oi oio
ers to its good properties. 1 do not
speak of the article that is sold in the
drug stores (and sometimes noi re
markably fresb) but of the capsicum
that crows in our gardens. I have
tried all the different varieties, and
find that the most pungent and effica
cious is the small kind usually known
bv the name of "bird a pepper.
The nlant in itself is a beautiful ob-

and in autumn its Origin little scarlet
berries look like coral beads peepm
from under the dark, green foliage.
Indeed, one plant in a pot forms a
verr tirettr ornament for a flower
stand. The feeds possess a etimula
tine and reviving property, and
find that two or tbree given to newly
hatched chickens, especially if tbey
are weaklv, have a mast happy effect.
If a hen looks feeble after moulting,
six of these berries or pods, given
daily in some corn meal and sweet
milk, improve ber wonderful!?. Last
summer two of my finest canaries
begau to droop. Every day I gave
them each one seed of the "brd
pepper," and in less than a week they
were quite well. The same remedy
is invaluable for mocking birds.

The Datt season I pinched off the
top end of my raspberry bgsbes when
they were about three feet high, for
tho purpose ol mating tuem grow
slowly, and to spare the troublo of
setting poles to tie tnem to. inose
canes pinched off threw out 6ide
branches, and the yield of fruit is
about double this season what the
bushes which were shortened last
season in comparison with those
which were left to grow naturally.
As tho currant worm has destroyed
nearly all our currant bushes, we can
easily suwply their place in our gar
den with otner 6ma iruits, sucn as

The following incident furnishes
rather an interesting illustration of
the intelligence or instinct of ani
mals. On the 4th of July, 1873, a
tame red bird, belonging to Mr. J.
George Stilz, of this city, escaped
from its cage, and, after lingering
about the place for a few days, dis
appeared. Nothing more was seen
of it for many months. On the 4th
of March, 1jS(4, just eight months
lator the dav beinar . bright and the
window? open, it flew into the house
and remained some ten or fifteen
minutes, flying out again before it
could be captured. Again it disap
peared, and nothing was seen of it
till last fall, when i's familiar noU
was beard again in the bushes near
the house, and the bird was seen for
several days, when it leu for parts
unknow n. Another visit is confident
ly expected from the bird this spring,
and thw question is, where does it go
to, aud how does it fnd the way back
to its old home? Indianapolis Jour

The good people of the town of
D were talking of moving their
meeting house to a more agreeabl
locality; among the advocates of the
movement none were more earnest
than old Dacon A., who, by the way,
has an uncootrolable babit of sleep
ing in church. No matter bow in
teresting the discourse, tb old dea
con was sure to drop off at sueb A
time. On the Sabbath preceding the
day appointed for moving the house,
the pastor preached an interesting
sermon on the "Rock of Ages."
Growing eloquent in his remarks, the
good minister finally added with
great emphasis:
"Wo caa move it?"
The deacon having been asleep as
usual, woke up just in time to catch
the query, thinking the pastor refer
red to the meeting house, rose up in
bis seat and exclaimed:
"I'll bring over my yoke of steers,
and they'll jerk it along tbo whole
distance, if you'll keep plenty of faord
wood rollers under it."
The deacon never slept in meeting
after that.
DIancbard's Iiutttr Manual recoiu
mends one ounce of salt to a pound
of butter as sufficient for keeping it;
but the butter paying class of cus
tomers, who are a little moro fastidi
ous about the quality, prefer about
one half as much; and this is found
sufficient, if the casein has been
properly removed. Dutter makers in
the vicinity of large towns should
seek out regular customers for their
produce, jn which cases it may be

pbia prints," which bare acquired a
worldwide reputation, are pauutj
balls, with a small figure upou the
top. They are usually enclosed in a
white linen naokin, and packed in a
cedar, zinc-lined chest, with apart
ments at each end for ice, to keep it
bard while being transported to mar
ket. For the great mass of butter
makers, the wooden tub, holding
from fifteea to one hundred pounds,
must ever be the most economical
of packages. In the vicinity of New
York city, bavy return paiis, of the
best white oak, with thick covers,
baring the owner's nama branded on
them, arc used and re-used year af
ter year. I a some part3 of the West,
miserably poor oaken tubs are em
ployed, which affect the butter very
injuriously. In other localities, asb
en tubs are favorites, w hile in North
ern Vermont the most approved tubs
are spruce. Spruce is unquestiona
bly the least liable of all timber to
affect the flavor ot butter injuriously;
while it is regularly believed that,
for long keeping and much exposure,
rood whijjeoak is preferable. Stone
jars and crocks are sometimes used,
but we do not recommend teem.
Much depends upon the purity of the

The following directions for making
concrete surface arc given by an ex-chance.
Dig away the earth to tho depth of
about five inches, then lay a bottom
