6he had never closed it since it came,
but continued to pour over its sha
kv characters in the vague hope of
gleaming a ray of light to illumine
the murky record. At her uncle's
request, she tried hard to wallow

shy-mannered girl, of great personal
beaaty and equal modesty ; nut ucr j

character was unselfish devotion.
She loved the dear old pair who had
received her brother and herself in
their early orphanage, and who had
given every energy and thought to
the education and moral training of
the otherwise friendless children.
Without ever having been outside of
Greenville since she came there a
little girl ten years before Lily
knew quite well that her aunt and
uncle were singularly innocent and
unworldly people, and though she
could not help but fall into many
of their primitive ways and il
logical views, she was quite sure
that neither of them was fitted to
start out in winter and travel to the
great city where her poor dear broth
er was in trouble, bhe had quite
resolved from the first that she
would go to him herself, and when
her voice trembled and the chunking
eensation oppressed her most as she
read on, it was then thcconilict be
tween her native timidity and cour
ageous sense of duty occurred.
The note wan dated a day or two
before Christmas and written in
pencil so uaaiy mat u was uimcuu ,

Lionel s ; in lact, there was no way
to account for its abrupt aud ua-
i'en character except the true one.
The dreadful snares and tempta
tions of that frightful city, against
which the cider pair, who had never
passed a night in its joluted air, who
had so faithful! warned him had
seized him in their illusive grasp.
He had succumbed ; he had strayed
aud fallen from grace; some evil be
ing had robbed him, and now con
trite and helpless, he called home
ward for relief. His scrawling epis
tle ran thus :
'My Deau Uncle and Ai nt: I
don't want Lily to be alarmed (it
was she that opened the note), so I
include her. I hare had a misfor
tune I trusted myself in thesa
fclippery ways. I was a fool not to
listen to counsel but I thought I
knew it all; the result is. I became
lost, grew confused and feiL Do not
alarm yourself dear aunt and uncle ;
I might have been much worse.
As it is, in the confusion, I lost my
pocketbook. The people amoug
whom, on coming to myself I prov
ed to be, are not of the elms for me
to remain dependent on for a single
Jay. I'lease 6cnJ or come. I in
close address, Regret to alarm you,
U'ith love,
Lionel."
In a different hand was a com
plicated direction, which Lily care
fully detached aud put it in her
pocketbook.
That was the first step taken the
rst loilowed quickly:
uncle and aunt. I am going to
the city. My mind is made up so
please don t say, So. i ou, dear un
cle, are suffering with one of your
worst attacks of rheumatism, and
aunt's head is threatened wita her
regular January neuralgia. Martha
is needed to look after you nh,
and Simon can't leave the bam,
oor old man. As for me, I was
nine rears old when I was there
last, but I remember the streets
peifectly. I could even go to this
place" she pointed to the direction
in the pocketbook "alter a little
studying of the localities."
She spoke so confident, looked so
brave, and withal so hopeful that
the good couple could only accept
her strength of purpose as providen
tial, and "sent" for the trying occa
sion. It wa over. On Christmas day
she sat in the centre of the middle
ear safest place in case of accidents.
The cold air had frozen the tears
on her checks ; she looked through
the blurred window at the dark out
line of the old family carriage which
Simon was driving up the lane
homeward, and sent the venerable
occupants a silent kiss pressed
against the unsympathetic glasss.
The train was a full one; at every
station new people came in, and at
the second place from Greenville, a
gentleman of excellent appearance
and pleasing manners came in and
found no vacant place except the
one beside Lily.
He wore a handsome sable collar
round liis overcoat; in Lily's start
led eye it seemed like a partial mask
to his face, and when pointing to the
seat, he bowed his request to be al
lowed to share it, she assented with
a start and immediately p aced her
hand protectingly over her coat- j
jHjeket where her money was. Shc !
had merely turned her face once to-
wara me newcomer: that onee.
however, was quite sufficient to '
fchow her a pure, oval outline, eyes '
poll as velvet and lovely brown in
color, a straight nose and a mobile,

Apparently the stranger was sus
ceptable to female loveliness; he
threw off his fur wrapping, adjusted
his coatcollar and gave a becoming
touch to his hat He was young
and good-looking, and 6ceroed de
cidedly drawn toward the face that
had been quickly averted from hi
view.
Lily looked steadily out of tho
window and tried to think of her

Suddenly without a note of prep

tunnel. The transition from day
tonight was so swift that Lily al
most screamed, and, do what she
would to recover from the shock,
her heart . kept beating so that she
could Ecarely breathe.
Here was a situation totally tin
looked for. Neither her aunt nor
her uncle had rrcnarcd her mind

There are some things that hap
pen iu eveaybody's life of which the

got out of her neighbor's pocket.

pickpocket of whom she would
never think without heartfelt shame
had left her to lier rumination.
They were not very agrcea)le

At a little distance from the st i-

reading it lettered sides. When
she consulted the conductor, hc
learned she was being carried out
of her way, and with a shouted line
or two of directions ringing about
her she descended and took another
with a varied but unsatisfactory rc-
smt. She wished she had not lm
bibed a prejudice against hacks and
their drivers as being the accessories
of mysterious disappearance she
had read of in those awful city ca
pcrs : but tired and distracted as
she w.is after to hours' aimless
car-changing and mistaking of
points of the compass, she still
could not trust herself with night

Timber Lots.
Not every man who owns a timber
lot manages it to the best possible
advant age. It seems easy enough,
at first -.nought, to take care of this
kind of land. Most peoplo who
have id no experience with it
would lcel sure that it required less
than half the skill which is needed
to carry "n an ordinary farm. liut
experien is a great teacher and fre
quently i akes unexpected and as
tonishing revelations. Most men
who assuuio the care of wooded
lands find sooner or later that, in or-d-r
to turn everything at a time and
in a manner wh'ch will be the most
profitable, they need all the ability
and skill they possess. It is not
very hard to cut off everything that
has grown, r.nd put it into the mar
ket ; but it is a diflicu'.t matter to
cut at just the right time what
should be removed and leave what
should remain. There are two op
posite directions, in one of which
there is a strong libility to err.
Many owners of timber lots cut
wood and timber clean wherever
they go, and without waiting until
the" trees reach anything like matur
ity. This course involves a great
waste. All clean cutting must in
volve loss, if the land is to be kept
for growing wood or timber ; for it
involves the removal of a great
many young trees, which are worth
nothing of any consequence for
wood, but which, having got well
started, are in a condition to rapidly j
increase in value. If the old trees
were taken out and the sprouts and
young trees allowed to grow, a per- j
pctual wood lot could be easily
maintained, liut, if everything is
cut clean, it will take many years
for the growth of anything large
enough for wood, and still longer
for timler trees to grow. Somt peo
ple, who do not cut everything, are
yearly cutting trees which, tnougn
arire enough to be of some value,
are yet growing rapidly and can on
ly be cut at a great sacrifice; lr
when a tree has reached a trunk di
ameter of six or eight inches it has
attained a stage at which it makes a
much more rapid growth than ever
before. Five years added to the age
of 6uch a tree insures a large addi
tion to its size and value. At this
stage trees seem to grow as much in
one year as they do in five of their
early life. To cut trees then is like
keeping a lot of pullets until they
begin to lay, and then, just at the
point at which they begin to do
something toward paying the ex
penses of their keeping, billing and
selling them for poultry. Everyone
can see that this would" be a foolish
ojeratiou, because up to this point
considerable expense has been in
curred and no income received. To
kill the pullets then makes sure of
cutting off all receipts from eggs,
and the small sum obtained for the
meat is far less than would be re
ceived for this purpose if they were
kept until they were larger and fat
ter. There is another extreme to which
some owners of wood lands go,
which involves about as much loss
as the course which has just Wn
described. These men let their tim
ber stand too long, and it becomes
iniurcd bv the effects of age and its
inevitable tendency to decay. The
j-riter has in his mind what was
once a spei)did grove. It was own
ed bv an old ceiitleman. who had
grown up on the farm containing
the grove and whose more than
fourscore years dated back to the
early life of the tress. In his later
years he spoke somewhat sadly of
this grove. He knew that the trees
were as valuable as they ever would
be, and that self-interest dictated
their removal ; but his affections
clung to the old trees, and he deter
mined that they should stand until
lie was gone. After his death some
wagon manufacturers bought the
timber and took it from the land.
Many a farmer in that community
felt a sense of personal loss when
those splendid old oaks were remov
ed ; yet it was found that the trees
had stood far too long for their high
est value to be obtained. Many of
Uiem had decayed at the stump and
bore the ma'iks of injuries inflicted
by age. Another piece of wood
lard, containing a large number of
heavy and splendid trees, comes to
mind. A few years ago these trees
would have been valuable for ship
building and for many other pur
poses ; but the owner declined to
gejl them, and they now remain on
his lot uionumpnts to his unwise de
lay. Probably they would not now
sell for more than half what they
would have brought fifteen years
ago, and the interest on a large sum
of money which might have been
obtaingd'fpr them has been lost.
Here there was no excuse as in the
other instance, as this is merely a
common though valuable wood lot
And there are many owners of tim
ber lands in which there are many
trees which have passed their prime
and are now rapidly on the decline.
The loss involved in allowing these
trees to stand is very great. They
should be removed at once, and the
young trees which are growing up
around them should thus ho given a
chance to obtain sunshine and plant
rood which they need for rapid de
velopment
A good method in the manage
ment of timber-lots, is to cut out
crooked and defective trees, even
though they are small. In their
growth these poor specimens use
materials which if secured bv better
trees, would prove valuable. The
survival of the fittest should not
be left to slow operations of nature,
but should be secured by the prompt
action ot the owner or the land
Except for special purposes, where
sueh a course seems neeef sarv, trees
should not be cut until they are ful
ly developed, or have reached that
size wh'ch i3 best adapted to the
purpose for whicli they are designed
Iiut when they have Wome well
matured they should be removed
They will never be any better, and
will, it allowed to remain, soon de-
prcwat ii value. Besides, if they
are promptly taken away, (he young
trees which remain will grow more
rapdly and be enabled to keep up a
regular succession hi good spieimens

then shall the Kingdom of Satan
be likened to a gra"in of tobacco
seed ; which, though exceedingly
small, being cast into tho ground
grew ; and became a great plant and
spread its leaves rank and broad, so
that hugo and vile worms formed a
habitation thereon. And it came to
pass in the course of time that the
sons of men looked upon it, and
thought it beautiful to look upon ;
and much to be desired to make
lads look big and manly. So they
put forth their hand and did chew
thereof. And some it made sick.
And it farther came to pass that
those who chewed it became weak
and unmanly, and said : We are
enslaved, and can't cease from chew
ing it And tho mouths of all en
slaved became foul ; and they were
seized with a violent spitting ; and
they did spit even in ladies' parlors,
and in the house of God. And the
people of God were greatly plagued
thereby. And in the course of time
it came also to pass that others
snuffed it into the noses of them ;
and they were taken suddenly with
fits, and they did sneeze with a great
and mighty sneeze, insomuch that
their eyes filled with tears, and they
did look exceedingly silly. And yet
others cunningly wrought the leaves
thereot into rolls, and did set lire to
one end thereof, and did suck vehe
mently at the other end thereof, and
did look very grave and calf like ;
and the smoke ascended up.
And the cultivation thereot be

waxed rich by the commerce there
of. And it came to pass that the
people of God defiled themselves
therewith ; even the poor who could
not buy 6boes, nor bread, nor books
for the little ones, spent their mon
ey for it. And the Lord was dis
pleased therewith, and said :
"Wherefore this waste ? and why
do these little ones lack bread and
shoes and books ? Turn now your
fields into corn and wheat and put
this evil thing far from you ; and
defile not yourselves any more."
But with one accord they all ex
claimed : "We cannot cease from
chewing, snuffing, and puffing we
arc slaves !"
How to Make Hens liajr.
Having occasion recently to visit
a friend in Northern New Hamp
shire, who has the reputation of
making money through the keeping
of hens, I found his method of oper
ations somewhat as follows :
The hen-house was in the base
ment of a workshop building, with
windows facing the south. The size
of tho room whero the hens were
kept was about fourteen by twenty,
The fowls were of the Brown leg
horn variety, and numbered about
sixty birds. Although the room
seemed small, considering the num
ber of fowls, yet, by means of good
ventilation, it answered it purpose
well. As we entered the room, the
oder of onions attracted my atten
tion. "Do you give onions to your hens?"
I asked.
Vcs. Onions make good green
food for hens during the winter. As
I had a quantity on hand, unfit for
market, 1 am feeding them out in
this way to goqd advarjttge."
. "How do you feed your Lens dur
ing the month ?"
In the morning I give them a
dough made of bran and boiled po
tatoes. At intervals of two or three
days I put cayenne pepper with
this mixture. At noon I feed such
scraps as are left at my table. In
the evening I give my fowls about
two quarts of whole corn, believing
that this grain remains longer in
the craw man any other, l wice a
week I feed them meat I buy
cheap mutton, ehopping up bone.
and all before feeding. Evury day
I furnish a supply of pure warm wa
ter, also keeping before them at all
times a pan of ground pygter-
6iien.
"Do your hens pay you a good
profit T
"Most certainly. The net profit
from my hensi more than pay our
grocer's bills. There Is no guesa
work about this statement, as I keep
an exact account, showing the debts
and credits in full detail. A corres
pondent in the American Cultivator,
Keep Sheep.
At least a few sheep should be
kept on every farm. No kind a
stock is more profitable. In start
ing a flock, a few superior animals
should be chosen instead of double
the number of inferior ones. The
increased value of a flock range
from good sheep, will greatly ex
ceed the increased oost of a few good
ones to start with, over what inferi
or ones would have cost. Start with
good sheep and keep them good or
make them better by generous keep
ing. If one intends to half starve
his sheep he might as well begin
with half starved ones, as they would
be more likely to "hold their own"
fyan those used to better keeping.
Sheep keeping, b,owever,i notprolit
able when the starving process is
adopted, and wo would not recom
mend it to farmers who practice any
such methods. When good sheep
are purchased to start with and are
well kept, sheep keeping is profita
ble, beneficial to the farm, and is to
be commended.

The largest fa)l of top coal and rook
ever known in this valley, occurred

Evan and his son Thomas. Hun
dreds of men are at work digging for

"I war axed by a white man de
odder day," remarked the old man
as he whined off the end of his !
nose, "how much poultry dis club
would serd out to de poor fer deir
Christinas dinner. When I told j
him we shouldn't Fi nd as much as j
one wing ob a lean pullet ho abused j
me as selfish an' hard hearted, an' i
eached me a lonu sermon on
charity. Now let me say a few re-'

world as de sun or moon. Dev has i
alius been an' alius will be. 1 neb- i

didn't hab lots of chances to do so.
It am no mo de bizness ob de sun

does fur a family who am libin' on

Christmas turkey on de table ? Ten
times out o' 'leven it will be sold to
de nearest grocery or s'loon.

You can't find me ten cases of suf-

Women on the Ileoea.
Some years ago the einminent
lawyer llenry W. Paine, of Mas
sachusetts tried a case for a lady
client, but did not receive a decision
in his favor, although justice and
equity would have warranted it.
As he and his client were leaving
the Court-room, the lady, who is
well known as an exponent of wo
man's rights, said to him:
"That was rank injustice."
"Certainly, madam," Mr. Paine
replied.
"Mr. Paine," the lady continued,
"when we women get ii chance to
sit on that bench, such injustice
will not be possible."
With one of his rich, rare smiles
the great lawyer said :
"Madam I never expect to see a
greater set of old women than are at
present on the Massachusetts Su
premo Court benc-h, f
How He tiot Out.
When a young businessman of
Detroit, recently married, returned
home the other day at his uaual
dinner hour, his young wife sun
prised him bv saying: "Well, you
got out. did you?" "Gt out T re
plied the husband. "Out of what?"
"Why, out of the station. Weren't
vou in the Central station?" was
the wife's response. "What kind of
a stiff are vou giving me. anv way ?"
demanded the husband. Imagine
h;s indignation when his innocent
wife of a few months drew from her
bosom the following note and hand
ed it to him :
"Central Station Dear Tilly: I
am in trouble from trying to prevent
the arrest or a friend. Send me ten
dollars per bearer."
Your own Bob.
The ten dollars and the young
man who got it have not since been
heard from.
Bombarding a Hotel.
Sax Francisco, January A
special from Lompec, Santa Barba
ra county, states that some parties,
at present not known, tried to blow
up the Lompoc Hotel, Monday
night, by throwing four bombshells
through the widows. Only one ex
ploded. It bursted the doors, win
dows and partitions, causing great
oonfusiun. Two were tossed In the
sleeping room of Mr. and Mrs.
Butehard, but did not explode.
One in the billiard room also failed
to explode. Had they all exploded,
the building would haye been com-
detelv destroyed and several lives
ost The size of the bombshells was
two feet two inches in circumfer
ence, and weighed nearly sU p,vands
each.
A Foolihh Mistake.
Don't make the mistake of con
founding a remedy of acknowledged
merit with the numerous quack
medicines that are now so common.
We speak from experience when we
say that Parker's Ginger Tonic is a
sterling health restorative and will
do all that is claimed for it. We
have used it ourselves with the hap
piest results for Rheumatism and
when worn out bv overwork. See
adv. Time.
Salt
n Sowing.
Some French as well as some
German authorities recommend the
use of salt at the rate of one hun
dred and fifty pounds per acre for
clover and other leguminous plants :
lor wheat and llax. two hundred
and fifty pounds; and for barley
and potatoes, three hundred pounds
to fc sown broad cast in the
spring season, belore the herbage
has attained any considerable
growth.
Two Organs.
Regulate first the stomach, second
the liver; especially the first, so as
to perforin their functions perfectly
and you will remove at least nine
teen, twentieths of all the ills that
mankind is heir to, in thi3 or any
other climate. Hop Bitter is the on
ly thing that will give perfectly
healthy natural action to these two
organs. Maine Farmrr,

A lover, who was slighted by the
females, very modestly asked a
young lady, "if shc would let him
spend an evening with her?" "No,"
she angrily replied, ''that's what I
won't." "Why," replied he, "you
needn't be so fussy ; I didn t mean
this evening, but some stormy one,
when I can't go anywhere else."
