TUB WAY OK TUB UA1X.
I hcanl an oltl fanner talk one day,
Telling his listeners how
In the wide new country far away
The rainfall follows the Jilow,
As f;wt as they break it up, you m.'c
And tnrn the heart to the sun,
As they ojen the furrows det and free.
And the tilliiun is liepun.
' Tlie earth grows mellow, and more atvl
more
It holds and sends to the sky
A m,i.-ture it never had before.
When its face was hard and dry.
And so, wherever the plowshares run
The clouds run overhead,
And the soil that works and let.s in th e sun
With water is always fed."
I wonder if that old farmer knew
The half of his simple word.
Or guessed the message that, heavenly
Within it was hidden and heard?
STne.
It fell on my ear by chance that day,
It lit the gladness lingers now.
To think it is always God's dear way
That the rainfall follows the plow.

At this moment there was a knock
at the door. A telegram was in nded
to me.
"Mrs. Northcote is dangerously
ill, and wishes tosee her ten-daughter
before .he dies."
Startled, dismayed, but beyond all
measure vexed at receiving such an
untimely messaee, I Jopjed the
paper upon the floor. "I'-ring me a
railroad guide quick!"" I said to
Justine.

found by the railway guide that if
I changed my dress with speed
there was time to catch the last
train that night, from Paris. I!y
noon next day I should reach D: sh-
shire. in which county Crowsnest is
situated.
"Justine,'' I cried, excitedly,
"bring me my traveling dress. Vou

fume of the flowers permeated my
?nsee. Who had sent them? Curi
osity prevailed. I would wait till
the morrow, go to the ball and solve
the mystery. Sir Charles and Lady
C were waiting for me when I
descended the stairs. I did not say
anything about the telegram ; we
entered the carriage :ind were driven
to the embassy.
The ball was brilliant in the ex

I start. The speaker was Mr. Weston,

"I was thinking of the. sender f

"I hope you were thinking kindly

"Indeed I was."
"Thank you. Will you always so

My surprise was too reat to frame
an immediate reply. Beside, hi

frequently than with any one else,
and found a new and strange attrac

SOMEKSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 1S84.
ing night we were drivingr thrDUgh
the moonless darkness of country
roads to CrowsnesL A tately house
keeper met us in the hall,
"Miss Northcote, you came too
late," she said, and there was mor
austerity than sadness iu her tone.
"My dear mistresg died three hours
ago". If you had left Paris last niffht
you wauld have been in time. My
iady had a communication she de
sired to make to you."
"What was it?"' I asked in much
distress.
"That no one will ever know in
this world," was the answer. And
I felt from that moment as though
Mrs. Stevens was my enemy.
Sir Charles C remained at
Crowsncst until after the funeral.
Then, in vain, he urged me to return
to Paris. I was bent on remaining
a few weeks long r in the quaint old
fashioned house, which now to all
intents and purposes was mine.
With the exception of one bed room
in it, a description of Crowsnest is
not necessary to the developement
'of -my tale, but to describe that is
'imperative. This room had taken

of Indian carpet covered the centre
of t be cedar floor on which stood th
bed -of the same wood, and richly
carved raised on a dias. There
were two windows ; that nearest the
bed, a bay with diamond panes, the
haiif:in ', similar to those of the bed,
of old fashioned rich brocade with
failed pink satin linings. On the
side of the bay window nearest the
bed was fixed a modern gas-bracket,
which struck me as astrsnge anom
aly and the only incongruity amid
the antique surroundings. It was in
this c hamber that my step-mother
died, but utterly devoid of all "uper
stitius weak riei: I decided to occu-
'rv it myself. N sooner had mv

yarious reasons why I should not do
so, nor.e of which appeared to me of
any weight. At last she said :
"It was Mrs. Nartheote's wish that
that room should not be ued. She
died in it."
"And do you suppose I am so
foolish as to be afraid to sleep there
on that account ?" I asked.
"It is not my province to suppose
anything, Miss Northcote. My late
mistress entertained the fancy, and
if you had seen hT befsre she died
it is my belief she would have given
vou hsr reasons liereelf. As it is
"As it is, Mrs. Stevens," I answer
ed, seeing that she paused irresolute
ly, "I am now mistress here, and
have set my head on that particular
bed room. Have it prepared, please,
for I wish to occupy it at once."
"As you will," she said, indiffer
ently. Hut as she turneda away
caught a peculiar look on her face,
which perplexed as much a it an
noyed me. My belonging were
promptly removed inta the coveted
room, my maid. Justine, occupying
a small dretsinp room adjoining,
but to which there was v threugh
communication. The first night of
my taking possession of my new
quarters was close and oppressive,
and I remember waking to find the
scent of the cedar wood slightly
overpowering. About midnight I
rose; threading my way across the
tloor with difficulty, for the room
was almost in total darkness, I open
ed the nearest window. The next
night, before Justine left me, I de
sired her not to turn the gas quite
out. Three nights later 1 again woke
with a sense of languor and oppres
sion. I tlid not want to be at the
trouble of rising to open the window
but I looked up sleepily. The gas
beside the window gave out a dim
light; beyond it a faint moonbeam
slantintr across the room in which
lav the shadow of a pear tree that
grew outside close to the house. I
could trace the shadow of the branch
es ami the leaves, and watched them
as they lliokered, stirred by the night
wind. Keeping my eyes open in a
hal'" sleepy manner, as I have said,
ail at once I became conscious of
seeing something else beside the gas
light and the moonlight, something
that seemed to be between the two.
It was faint and indistinct, certainly,
but none the less it bore resemblance
to a female form. The head appear
ed resting on the hand, the hair with
u rmldv trieam on it floated back
ward ou the shoulders. The rest of !
the figure was lost in darkness. I
was sufficiently awake to know it
was no freak of fancy, and yet the
figure wits altogether so faintly de
fined and vague in detail that before
long I fell asleep and next morning
remembered it as a dreaai only.
The succeeding viight, however, I
again awoke and on opening my
eyes beheld the self-same figure.
But this time it was mere clearly
visible, especially the face, which,
turned toward me, I saw to be that
of a very beautiful woman. More
over, to my unspeakable horror and
dismay, I discovered in it a resemb
lance to my step-mother, whom I
had seen mice, and once only, as she
lav dead within her coffin. The
fight was the more distressing to me j
inasmuch as the face wore an ex-1
preseion of uiournful Badness com
bined with one of reproach. Had
the spirit of my father's wife return
ed to earth to upbraid me for not
obeying the summons to her dying
bed?
A strange commingled feeling
ot awe and incredulity possessed
me. Of awe, inspired by the appa
rent presence of a being from anoth
er world ; of incredulity, that such a
visitation could be possible. In vain

resumed. Before I had been two
months at Crowsnest all my Taunted
courage fled ; my entire nature un
derwent a change. Though I spoke
of what I had seen to no one, I was,
nevertheless, sensitively conscious
mat Mrs. Stevens remarked some
thing amiss with me. I
was even
morbidly feartul that she had sus
picion of the cause. I was convinc
ed of this one morning when she
said not by any means unkindly :
"Justine tells me you have not
been sleeping well, Miss Northcote.
Indeed, I am concerned to see how
ill you look. Do you not find the
cedar chamber comfortable?"
"Perfectly comfortable, delightful !
I would not change it for the world,"
I replied, evasively.
"Comfortable," and with that
haunting presence? Heaven forgive
me for the subterfuge! As for Jus
tine, she was continually urging me
to quit, what she termed, "ce vilain
pays," attributing my depression to
the climate, to the dull life I led, to
anything rather than to the true
cause. But at length her persistency,
added to beseeching letters from my
guardian, prevailed, and I returned
to Paris.
There I renewed my acquaintance
with Mr. Weston. It was impossi
ble to be blind to his feelings, his in
tentions. Every word and look told
me that he loved me, and the day
came when he asked me to be his
wife. To his eyidunt sui prise, and
to my own inexpressible sorrow, I
refused to marry him. Could I
join my life a haunted life to that
of the man 1 loved with all my
soul? True, I had had no visitation
from this beautiful, reproachful face
since 1 lett urowsnr.t ; nut mieiu it
not return at an v time, at anvhonr?
Oh, why had my father's wife cast
this blight upon my life? Why did
she haunt me? Was it such a hein
ous crime not to have gone in time
to see her die ?
Suddenly 1 became possessed
with a strange longing to re-visit
Crowsnest, loseeasain the weird ap
parition tht had exercised so sub
tle an influence on my life. With
the persistent waywardness of a
spoilt child I insisted on going to
Crowsnest. I insisted al.-o that no
one but Justine should accompany
me. My indulgent guardian yielded
to mv wishes, and I went. But not
once during my month's visit did I
see the haunting face. I believed
then that mv persecution was end
ed. On my return to Paris Mr. Weston
renewed his offer and I accepted
him. A few months of married hap
piness effectually dispersed the cloud
that overshadowed me.
My mind warped, weakened, as
it had been by giving way to morbid
fancies gained fne and vigor daily
by associating with my husbands,
which was eminently matter of fact
and practical. It was, therefore,
without the slightest foreboding of
evii that we set off for Dashshire to
spend the summer months at Crows
nest. Oeorge was much pleased
with the old house ; above all with
the cedar chamber, which I found
without uny order to that effect
had been prepared for us. it was
late at night when we arrived and
there was n time to alter the ar
rangement, beside, there seemed no
need, for I believe, as I have stated,
that I had outlived my fears.
Both George and I were tired by
our journey and on retiring to rest
we soon fell fast asleep. Toward
morning I awoke.
A stream of moonlight flooded
the chamber. As of old, the shadow
of the pear tree lay along the door
flickering in the night wind. I
watched it for awhile, then this
shadow being closely associated in
my mind with something else I
looked toward the bay window, and
could scarcely suppress a cry. There,
in the old place, between the gas- j
light and the moonlight, appeared I
the face !
"George," I whispered, trembling,
"wake. I feel so frightened."
"What is it. Nina? Have vou
seen a ghost ?'' he inquired, lightly.
"Hush! Look there."
Kaisin? himself unsn his elbow
he obeyed.
"Why, there is a woman in the
room !" he exclaimed, in the great
est consternation. Then, after paus
ing a few momeut, he continued
slowlv and deliberately, as though
reading by a bad light from a book
a uau ..got . ,m uoon
only an illusion but
"No! it is
what an illusion! I seem to see
most distinctly a beautiful woman
her head turned tnis way, supported
by her hand. Her hair a bright
auburn, hangs loose about her
shoulders.
It
but sorrowful."
"Stay! What are you about to
do?" I asked, as. rising, he made a
quick movement forward.
"To dispel the illusion, darling,"
So saying be shook the curtain
violently.
"May all ghostly visitations be as
! easily dispersed!" he continued,
laughing as the ngure quivered,
swayed, became distorted, then, in a
moment, vanished.
"I will reproduce it and yru shall
see."
He loosened the curtain and it
fell to the ground in the old folds
and creases, as it was before. There,
sure enough, she was again.
'"And is this what scared you cn
your first visit here? ' he inquired,
turning to rue puddenly as though a
new light broke on him
"Yes: I thought it was the s&irit
of my step-naother. I imagined the
likeness of course." Then between
laughter and tears I made a full
confession of all mv superstitious
folly.
Next morning we? closely inter
rogated Mrs. Stevens. She express

was haunted, and that the commu

Ben Perley Poore tells this story :
Among other stories told by the
Chase men was one of the Secreta
ry's visits to a leading negro in
Florida, Uncle Solomon. Uncle
I Solomon had collected a good many
war relics and Indian curiosities,
which Mr. Chase inspected with in
terest, listening meanwhile to the
old darkey's anecdotes relative to
the war in Florida, and its effect
both on the planters and the negroes
as seen from his own peculiar stand
point, and that of a free colored man
cultivating some thirty or forty acres
of his own land. After an hour
thus pleasantly spent Mr. Chase
thanked his entertainer, and a? he
was about stepping into the anibu
lence which had conveyed him
thither, produced a new SI bill and
placed it in the astonished hands of
Uncle Solomon.
"What for dat?" asked Uncle
Sol, holding out the bill indignant
ly at arm's lngth. " ( illy, niassa,'
'twasn't for dat ole uncle toted you
to find dis dace. I s got all I want,
God be blessed fur it !" and the
karkey's feelings appeared to be re
ally hurt.
" Why, uncle, you mistake,'' said
the chief justice, kindly, stepping
back out of his ambulence and
pointing witli one linger to the vig
nette in the corner of the biil, "I
know you better, Uncle Sol. than to
offer you money ; and it is as a pic
ture to recollect me by, not as
money, thot I give you that bill !"
Fur a moment Uncle Sol was
stupefied, but observing Mr. Chase
still pointing with one hand at the
vignette, while removing his broad-
brimmed straw hat with the other,
some glimmer of truth began to
break slowly upon oid uncle's mind.
Once or twice his eyes rolled botwten
the lace of the Chief Justice and the
portrait in the corner of the crisp
paper he was holding, a light of new
intelligence every moment spreading
over his features and rapidly expand
ing into tlie hroad.st ami happiest
of grins. At length, thro.ving up
hi hands and bringing them down
on his knees a gesture many times
repeated oid Uncle Sol commenc
ed shouting aloud :
"Oil, golly, massa, if you ain't old
Greenbacks, hisselfl Golly, golly, if
you ain't Old Greenbacks! 1V so
glad to see you, massa so glad to
see you ! Oh, golly, massa, God be
blessed dis nigger has livtd to see
day !"
The dollar bill was not returned,
but enshrined in a neatly-carved
frame of red cedar, over the chimney-piece
ef Uncle Solomon's best
Mom, the most prized and most
adored relic of his old
museum.
The old man never wearied of rela
ting evf ry minutest incident of that
one bright, happy day, when his
farm was made glorious and his life
was ennobled through all future time
bv actual contact for an hour with
""Old Greenbacks 'hisself."
Thi True Ketuttiy of Manure-.
The true econom y of manure de
mands that the farmer adapt ma
nure to the crops. He may be ac
quainted with the composition of a
crop, and tlie composition as well of
the soil on which it is to be grown,
and yet be ignorant of the true econ
omy of manure. He must also be
acquainted with the special charac
ter of the crop. In a word, it is not
onlv the materials required to form
a crop, but tho pow er of the crop to ;
arsiiailate these materials, which
should infiuer.ee the farmer in the s
application of fertilizers. Farmers
are constantly advi.-ed ti manure
their land with all the constituents
required by the crop a proceeding
quite unnecessary in most cases.

Life ot a Canadian Peasant.
C. IL Fambam, writing to Jfirn
Maijnzine. has the following to say
on the above subject :
The habitants, or peasants, are
widely separated from the gentry ;
there seems to be no democratic,
average level of society. But all
classes are on the best of terms,
sharing as they do the national con
tentment and gayety. Their social
life in winter presents the most
characteristic fsatures. but this un
ambitious people find time for their
simple enjoyments at any season.
The home of the habitants is the
plainest and cheapest shelter deman
ded by coaifort. But his social life
presents more interesting features.
In this class also one is struck by
social happiness and the meagerness
of external interests; for example,

There are at Totnioka several small
temples, btit of only local interest,
and once a year, on the lth of Sep
tember, there is a grand matsuri, or
feast day,ct!kbrated, when "the doors
of the temple are opened and ser
vices performed by the priests. On
this feast day celebrated wrestlers
congregate here and contest the
championship. In front of the tem
ple an elevation of saints about two
feet high and twenty feet square, is
made, the sides protected by matting
to keep the sand in place. On this
the wrestlers try their skill for su
premacy in the art They nre entirely
without clothing, offering their bare
bodies alone to the grasp of their
opponents, with the exception of a
narrow band which bisects the lower
part of the body, and is also wound
about the loins a number of tiaies
and securely fastened. It is a sight
that would d light the fancy wres
tlers of the Western world to witaess
these chaps tug at each other for
the mastery. As they take their
places preparatory to the trial of
strength and skill they place them
selves in a partially squatting posi
tion, placing their limbs wide apart
and slap one limb and then the oth
er, at the same time raising the foot
and leg. and then bringing it (the
foot") down again with an energy
and force that portends a determi
nation that their feet shall noi. be
triuped from under them. They
then squat, facing each other, and
upon a signal spring upon each oth
er as they rise, catching such hold
as they are able. Such wrestling
never came under our observation
elsewhere. The style is peculiar
to Japan, and appears to be more a
demonstration of power th:;n skill

Keularity in Feeding
It is a fact which does not seem
t be eithar known or clearly uneler
stjoii by many of our breeders and
farmers that regularity. a3 to the

much to 1 in determining the
question of profit and losr, and that
irregularity as to the time uf feeding
and the number of daily feeds have
more to do with producing los3
than a variation in tne quantity of
the food. Take a pen of pig, for
instance, and feed them for a week

In the essay on "Women in the
Fourteenth Centurv" we read some
things which,
in view of the orals
:ion
r f the word "obey"' recently from
the marriage service of the Metnodist
church, may be read with interest.
Sneaking of a "Book fr Womer,"
i V one (boffrev de La Tour Landry,
in the earlv t.-riud referred to. Prof.
Wli'.-e'fcr says :
"Wifely obedience is pushed to
extreme in the book;. Three mer
chants laid a wager that each had
the most dutiful wife. The test
should be 'leaping, into a basin of
water. Then they went to their
homes, one after the other. The
firt wift refused to leap, and the
husha-id 'up with with his fist
and gave her two or three great
strokes' in the presence of the other
merchants. The second wife also
refused, and her lord beat her with
a staff. The third lady misunder
stoed an order to bring salt for a
command to leap upn the table
where they were ail feasting, and,
being better bread than the other
wives, obeyed the order as she un
derstood it, leaping upon the table
and brought it down with a crash.
The wag-r was declared won with
out appe:-.! to the basin exrjeriment.
And so ought evry good woman do
the commandments of her husband,
be it evil or well : for yet he bid her
things that she ought not to do, it is
hi shame."
A bantering acquaintance of
the
other sex remarked to a woman :
"I never heard of seyen devils
beirg cast out of a man."
"No," was the reply; "they've got
'em yet."
