Winnie Stuart, deep in reverie iu a wide arm chair before the parlor tire, was aroused by a voice calling "Winnie! Winnie!

A lovely girl she was this Winnie Maart i-Ieiider and graceful as a marsh willow, w ith brown hair rip plini in shining waves all over her head, and eyes which always seemed to have a shadow of pain in their purple depths. Ellie looked at her its amazement "Is that all you have to say to such a splendid piece of news as that?"' she ejaculated. "I do be lieve vou have been disapjwinted in love, Winnie Stuart ! I cannot ac count for your indifference und-r anv other hypothesis." The sudden crimson flamed up over Winnie's face, but site laughed merrilv. "Nonsense, Elfie! What a chat terbox vou are.

Left alone, Winnie sat gazing earnestly into the fire. Elfie's care-; less remark had awakened bitter memories of the past She detach ed a small locket from around her neck, and opening it, gazed earnest ly r-t its content. Oil either side was a tiny picture ; a handsome. J manly face, with a dark, clustering liair and deep, earnest eyes the other herselu Two years before l'hilip Leslie had presented this to her on the day of their leirothal. It was the old storv a few short weeks ol unclouded happiness, then a misunderstanding had arisen, and they parted in anger. It was two long years, and in all that time she had neither seen nor heard from him. Had she forgotten? The dreary pain at her heart answered her better than any words could have done. The sound of merry voices arous ed her from her reverie, and she had barely time to replace the locket when Elfie followed by the others entered. It was a merry party which Char lie Howard and his sister Gussie had gathered around them at Iiidge wood Farm. There was Elfie Ilussell, and her handsom brother Hal, who was de voted to his cousin Gussie ; Winnie Stuart and Maggie Hunter, a merry, dark-eyed girl of eighteen ; and Will Devcreux, who was very much in love with Elfie, and very nearly at his wits ends, because she would give him no satisfaction. "New Year's morning dawned bright and frost-. Charlie was out before the first streak of day appear ed, and a few stars were yet ivisible when he brought the prancing horses around to the door. All was bustle and confusion in the house. Hal was making num erous pilgrimages from thence to the sleigh, loaded with robes, wraps, etc. At last they were ready to start. The sun was growing red in the east, and the smoke was rising slow ly in the still frosty air, from the farmhouses as they rushed past "Isn't thi3 glorious!"' exclaimed Elfie, her cheeks glowing, an d her eyes sparkling like stars. "See the sunrise! It's just splendid. I wish we were going as far again." "So do I," remarked Will, who sat byherside, lookinginto hereyes. Her cheeks took an added tinge, but she flashed him a defiant glance. The sun was near it3 meridian when they drew up before the resi dence of the Greys, a large fine look ing house, surrounded by ever greens. "Such a surprise!" exclaimed Mr3. Grey, as she came forward to meet them. "I did not expect to see ou to-day : I am sorry Victor isn't here," she continued, seating them in her pleasant parlor around the fire, "He has gone down to Chester on business, and won't be back for several days." The afternoon sped r.uidly and it w as late before they disersed for the night Shortly after the nine o'clock breakfast next morning, Eifie came into the parlor, her bright face wear ing a shadow. ' Isn't it a shame girls? It has clouded up, and looks so gray and dark it fairly makes me have the blues." She yawned sleepily, but a mis chievous light shone in her eyes as Will Devereux and Charlie saunter ed in. "Are there any nice young fellows around here, Nettie?" she ask ed suddenly. Mrs. Grey waited a moment be fore she answered. "No yes, there is too! One, a bachelor, who lives 6ix miles from here. You passed his house when j-ou were coining down." "Yes," said Charlie who was stretched out on a sofa near by. "I have the honor of his acquaintance." "Is he old?" asked Elfie. "Oh, superanuated !" answered Mrs. Grey, laughing. "Mr. Speaker, ladies and gentle men!" interrupted Hal, putting his head in at the door, it has be-nin P'. I to snow, and iVs my humble opin ion we d better be going." "My dear boy," responded Char lie, grvcly, the sagge6tion does hon or to your judgement We must start immediately." And half an hour saw tliem on their way. For some distant after leaving Mr. Grey's their road wound through cleared fields, then entered a dark comical expression passed over hi iyrar of grace eighteen hundred and face, '-Here's a doctor's bill to pay. .Vcnty-two, and therefore leap now." . ivcar.

"Very,'" replied Winnie, looking at ihe place as tliey approached. 'Oh, girls ?" exclaimed Klfie Hud denly. "Do hold on a minute, Charlie I have an idea.

Charlie is ac quainted with him, and we'll ap point him a committee ol the whole to go and introduce the subject and bring him out It's so suowy we can't think of going in. Iiun along Charlie, there's a dear fellow!" at which endearing epithet Charlie laughed, as he dropped the reins and sprang out "Let me propose first, said Mad gie, laughingly, holuing the buffalo robe in such a position that 6he could subside behind it at a mo ment's notice; "I don't want to be kept in suspense. There they come!" she added, iu a stage voice, as the door opened, and Charlie with a gentleman behind him, emer ged from the house, "What will we do if he takes the affair in earnest, and sues us for breach of promise?" "Oh, goodness !"' exslaimed Elfie, in a dismayed whisper, as the old bachelor stepped out beside Charlie, and she caught a full view of him. "He isn't old at all he's young and awful handsome. U ..at shall I do?" She looked as though she medita- iough sue meuita- ti-d a dive out Will undtr the buffalo robe, , confiscated that article, with the exultant remark that she "would have to lake the responsi bility." He was handsome, this tall, "su perannuated" bachelor of twenty seven, and there was a gleam of amusement in his eyes as he stet ped beside the eleig'h,' and gravely surveyed the dismayed faces before him. "Here he is, girls !" said Charlie. "Now don't keep in suspense. Miss. Elfie Russel, as director on this im portant question, it is only proper that yon should have the first hear ing. " Proceed !" There was a trem ble of merriment in Charlie's voice, while Will and Hal were quaking with suppressed laughter. "Poor Eifie? An entire change had come over the spirit of her dream, and she sat speechless. The stranger glanced in amuse ment from one to the other of the girlish faces. "Ladies," he said, in a rich musi cal voice that was lull of merriment, "your intention is to do me honor, bat I fear, from your hesitation, that you have not been in the habit of exerting your leap year privilege. Since you are at a Joss for words, permit me to speak." He stepped up to Winnie Stuart, who at the first sound of his voice had started and flushed painfull, and bending down looked into her eyes. "Winnie," he said, and his voice was full of unutterable tenderness, "time has not changed me. I love you to-day as when we parted two years ago. Shall we not let the past go ; and once more be all in all to each other as we were in those old days?' "Oh, Philip!" It was all she said, but Philip L"lic read aright the language of her eyes, and clasped her to Lis breast with a murmuring thanks giving. Ana, close in the shelter ot his arms, Winnie knew that at la&t the shadow had lifted and the sun shine appeaared. "Hurrah!"' shouted Charlie tak ing in the aspect of affairs at a glance. '"Here's romance in real life.and the happy sequel brought about by a leap-year frolic Here after I shall believe in mischief "Elfie," whispered Will, as, half an hour afterward, with Philip IjCB- lie added to the party, they were again speeding awav toward Ridg- wood, "you made an entire failure in 'poping the question splendidly,' and I suggest vou try it on me.

Dust for Tour Stock. As this is the time of the season when animals are looking their worst and in many cases suffering lrom vermin, please iniorm your readers that no remedy for parasites of all sorts is equal to perfectly dry road dust or freshly burned coal ashes. A quantity should always le kept on band, which should be liberally sprinkled over and on all kinds of stock, from horses to poul try, which last will always help themselves, if given a chance. Nothing is so refreshing to an a.i imal as a good dry dust bath. In summer horses wiil roll and wallow in it in the middle of dusty roads, and cattle will stand and throw it all over their backs with their feet, and feel much the better, looking sleek and shining when the dust is taken out of their hair. This can only be partially imitated in sum mer and spring, but the little we can do in this way for domestic animals that have not had access to the earth for many months, will do a great deal towards promoting their thrill and health. A peck of dry dust scattered over a dozen lull grown animals is worth all the coal oil, mercurial ointment and other similar nostrums that ever were bought The only possi ble objection to it is that it is so cheap, simple and easily obtained and used, that we can afford to de spise it Those who have lousy calves or colts can relieve them in a very few days without any cost at all, and with so little trouble that it i scarcely worth consideration.

Apply potash salts to the surface under the,tree and rake it in ; then mulch with old hay, leaves or straw. The German crude muriate of potash will be the least expensive. Use one or two ouuds, according to size of tree. Apply one pound in the late lall and same quantity in the spring. A grindstone should be secured to the shaft by nuts and washers, and the washers fixed so that they can not turn with the nuts as they are screwed up or unscrewed. In hang ing the stone, great care should be taken to hang it true sidewise, not only for convenience in using it, but because a r;onc that is not true idevie can i.i-vcr be kept true edgewise, A good way to plant some flower seeds which you wish to take partic ular good care of is to take a turnip, cut it in halves, scrape out the shell, then fill with earth and plant the seeds ; and when the time comes to put the winter plants out doors, dig a hole in the flower-bed large enough to set the turnip in it will rot in a short time and your plants will thrive by not having the lender roots disturbed. Gas lime contains some sulphides of lime, some sulphates and a little sulphate of ammonia, but not enough to give it much value as a fertilizer. If used in any large quant'ty it would destroy vegetation. The best use to which we ever saw it applied was upon the gravel walks to pre vent growth of grass and weeds, which it did most effectually, at the same time making a very firm, dry, and durable walk. Cultimtnr. iiruns in the hea.l ol sheep are believed to be caused by the Gadfly, which deposits eggs in the nostrils of the sheep during the summer and autumn ; although they cause much pain they are mt usually fatal.

If the soil dries quickly water these layers twice a day, as they must be keptmoi-t. Py October they will be read- to be taken from the parent plant Cut them off within two inches from the tongue. Dig deeply with a trowel to take them up and transplant where they will remain. The following spring they should be pruned down to three or lour buds. some ol them will flower in the summer. Our best farmers are beginning to learn, and in fact, most of them have already learned, that the time spent in destroying weeds in the autumn is well spent, and that if they would save time in cultivating hoed crops they must keep the weeds lrom seed ing as much as possible in all parts of the farm ; a little carelessness in this respect will soon cover a farm with weed seeds. A single root of milk weed in a mowing held, if left unmolested, will spread over and take possession of a large field in a few years. Eggg ts. Meat. Would it not be wise to substi tute more eggs for meat in our daily diet? About one-third of the weight of an egg is solid nutriment This is more than can be said of meat There are no bones, no tough pieces that have to be laid aside. A good egg is made up of ten parts shell, sixty part3, and thirty parts yolk. The white of an egg contains sixty six per cent water, the yelk fifty two per cent Practically an ani mal food, and yet there is none of the disagreeable work of the butch er necessary to obtain it The veg etarians of England use egg freely, and many of these men are eighty and ninety years, and have been re markable free from illness. Eggs are best when cooked four minutes. This takes away the animal taste that is offensive to some, but does not harden the white or yelk so as to make them hard to 'digest An egg cooked very hard is difficult of digestion except by those of stout stomachs ; such eggs should be eat en with bread masticated very fine ly. An egg spread on toast is fit for a king, if kings deserve any better lood than anybody else, which is doubtlul Fried e?2S are less whole- i some than boiled ones. An egg drop ped into hot water is not only a clean and handsome, but a delicious morsel. Most people spoil the taste of their eggs by adding pepper and salt A little sweet butter is the best dressing. Kggs contain much phosphorous, which is sup posed to be useful to those who use their brains much. Poultry Gazette. mack. And. It is asserted that the common black ant is largely cultivated by the leading orchardists of northern Italy and southern Germany. They believe the insect to be the fruit grower's best friend. They estab lish ant hills in their orchards and leave the trees to the exclusive care of the tiny colonists, whose time is devoted to climbing the stems of ! iruu tress ana ciensing tneir barfc and leaves of all malefactors, natur al as well as embryotic. The spoils thus secured are brought to the ground, and consumed or Bafely stored away. They never meddle with Bound fruit, but invade only Kuch apples, pears and plums as have already been penetrated by the canker, which they remorse lessly pursue to its fastnesses within the very he irt of the fruit Now where are appleand pear trees so free from blight and destructive in sects as in the immediate neighbor hood of a large ant hill five or six years old. The favorite food of the ant appears to be the larvic and pupae ot those insects most destruct ive to the tender shoots and young leaves of fruit trees. A BcniOcIcnt Action.

Almost any sheep owner will tell you that after a year the sheep gets a pair of broad teeth yearly, and if you show that his own thrpe-year-olds have four pairs of broad teeth, he can only claim that they are ex ceptions, and protest that they do not exceed t hreo years of age. Now, these case i re no exceptions, for nil well-bred Khep have a full mouth of front teeth at three years old. Some old unimproved stocks may still be j and the custody ui her lour cniiu found in which the mouth is not fuli ren, the youngest being only eigh until near four yenra old, but, fortu-i teen months old.

As the lamb approaches a year old the broad, exposed part of the tooth in comes worn away, and the narrow fangs projecting above the gums stand apart from each other, leaving wide intervals. mis is even more marked alter i the first pair of permanent teeth have come un. over-lani'in'.r each othir fit t),or .x1,-pj nn,l from fl.U time onward the number of small milk teetli and of broad permanent!"1"1 .occupying nearly (pct'i pnn nan 1. hi!i,! .Hit itermtory, bounded by ease. Another distinguishing feature is the yellow or dark colorations of the fanzs of the milk teeth, while the exposeu portions of the permanent teeth arc white, clear and pearl;'. The successive pairs of permanent teeth make their appearance through the gums in advanced breeds at alnmt th following dates : The first pair at one year; the second pair at one year and a half; the third nair at two years and three months : the fourth nnd last nair at three years. It will be observed that between the appearance of the i first two n.iirs then; is :m interval (,fi six months, whilo after this each lair comes up nine months fter its predecessors. For backward grades and unimproved breeds the eruption is about six months later for each pair of teeth, but even with them the mouth is full at three years nnd six months. ICq'no vs. Ke!i;i,. An amusing scene took place a day or two since when a gentleman on his way to the barn to turn his horse loose fur a short time, picked up a pet cat and putting her in a fish basket hung her up on a clothes line pole about seven feet from the ground. When the horse was loos ed he walked over to the pole and i seeing the cat in the basket put his nose up to investigate, and the cat put out her paw aud gave the in truding nose a lively scratch. The horse immediately turned around, looked back over his shoulder as though to take aim and measure the distince, kicked, and cat, basket and all shot into the air like a rock et The horse" watched the success of his shot, then gave a low whin ny of delight and walked awn v to feed.
