SB is onier THE MESSAGE. It was midnight, and two women awaited different messengers under one roof. To the elder the slow-paced hour? were bringing death, to the younger a bridegroom. The faded mistress of the rich parvenu's home bad laid down to die, facing the doom of all with the cold stoicism of the neglected and the unloved. Ready to take her place, impatient to clutch at the gauds the other de spised, and to parade a triumph which should have been her dishon or was the rival. She was a young woman, ot course. Subtler feminine charms than bright eyes, rosy lips always parting in a smile, a slender figure, and auda cious, girlish ways, were burdly like lv to fascinate a man of John Hart-en's character a man who had ris en from the meanest ranks of life, spent his years in money-getting, and shunned rather than sought good company in the true sense of the word. To be put out of counte nance by no one bad been a leading maxim of the money-maker 's career; whilst therefore surrounding him self with all the glitter of opulerce, he remained the blunt, plain spoken homely John Harden of early days. He was just sixty ; and the girl bus ied with such affection of demure ness on some foolish boarding school beadwork could hardly be tweotv. The pair sat opposite to each other by the fire only inter changing a word from time to time, betraying nothing of their secret thoughts to chance eavesdroppers at the door. Yet, despite such guard ed speech, a quick observer must have seen at a glance how it stood with both ; the girl's flushed cheek and sparkling eye, the man's look of suppressed satisfaction told their own story. The dread messenger, whose name is Death, as he passed through the hushed house, made way for a joyous successor whom under various guises men call Love. The hand of the costly timepiece on the'mantel shelf pointed to 12 and the mere sign seemed to chill the air. Mr. Harden rose to make up the fire, as he did so letting one hand fall on his companion's. ''It is growing late and cold. Better go to bed, Constance," he said, in a voice of tender concern. The girl allowing herself for a mo ment to be carried away by the im-1 pulse, leaned forward ; htr Dngnt brown curia just touched his scant gray locks : her softly-rounded cheek just came in contact with his own, lined and corrugate- wun care. "Should I leave you alone at such a time?" she whispered. He said nothing, but, kneeling before the fire, making it up after methodical fashion contrived at the same time to transfer from bis waistcoat pock et to her not unwilling fingers a min ute box of crimson leather lined with velvet Within gleamed a wed ding ring, and as Constance Emery gazed upon it furtively, her lover's lace showed exultation equal to her own. To this shallow girl the first glimpse of her wedding-ring meant everything that life itself could mean. She was nothing, possessed nothing ; the ring would give her all she set store by, and render her exactly what she wished to become. It would throw the responsibility of her own existence upon another's shoulders ; relieve her from the odi ous burden of bread-winning ; "afford ease, luxury social power and the kind of swav over an ordinary na ture that by such women is made to do duty for affection. The ring, in short, was to open wide the porta 1b of a career after her own heart with out it unattainable as a crown. To the man also the ring symbolized the aspect of life most agreeable to him. In one respect money making had not rendered bim callous. To his mind a certain feminine type ev er remained irresistible, Of ideal loveliness, of spiritual or intellectual beauty, it was not at all likely that he should have tbf remotest concep tion: but be owned the sway of frolicsome girlhood the easy assur ance of vounc. handsome, reckless woman. To surface charms of look or manner he was ever ready to do homage. But the ring had other and graver meaning for him. His first marriage bad been childless. The enormous wealth amassed so laboriously lacked an heir. Might not a young wife make him the proud father of blooming children ? I be tiny box consigned to its bid ing place, Mr. Harden fetched from the lobby close by a carriage-cloak Mned with rare fur. and bestowed it carefully about the girl's shoulders. He next went to the sideboard, and, half filling a glass with wine, "Do not let yourself get chill or faint then." he Eaid softly, standing over her, lass in band. She just sipped the wiue and put back the gloss, smiling gratelullv. He returned to the sideboard, swal lowed the remainder of the wine, then sat down in his old place by the fire. Just then the door was tapped lightly, and an elderly .home ly woman-servant made her appear ance. If yon please, sir," she said, with out looking at the girl, "mistress is herself again and asks lor you. Such a summons, unwelcome al though it may be, was imperative. With a lingering look at the vision of life, youth and jollity left behind. Mr. Harden tollowed bis bushed conductress to the chamber of death. II It was a strikingly luxurious room, punp wun rich arras or crim son' silk1, and carpets to match, in which the feet sank noiselessly'. On each Bide of the Venetian looking glass were handsome French candel abras supported by little Loves in tinted porcelain. On the dres$;pz table glittered silyer tpppe scent bottW and a woman s small' watch set with 'diamonds. The $re had been allowed to'burn low, and only one small lamp jit up the silent room and its solitary occupant worn, white paired woppan,' wbps? life was pearipg ils close. It was easy to see that like her husband, lire. Harden bad not been born to such luxury as this; her physiognomy as well as bis own in dicated a homely origin. Her thin set ESTABLISHED 1837. tSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. hands still showed evidence of labor ious toil. The heavy silk curtains of warm red and downy quilt cover ed with satin, were in strangest con trast with the look of the mistress. Twenty years of opulence had never familiarized her with it. To the last she looked, as indeed she felt, a stranger in her own home. "Go away, Anna," she said fcently to the faithful peasant-woman who had grown old in her service. "Leave us alone." The husband realized at a glance what had happened. She had re membered something, been remind ed of something she wanted to say to him at the last, and, as will often happen in the case of the dying, a brief return of consciousness was ac companied by a momentary recov ery of physical strength lasLbright evanascent flicker of the flame of life. The servant withdrew, and Mrs. Harden now beckoned the shrinking conscience-stricken man to her bed side. There had hitherto been no leave taking between him and the faithful partner of well nigh forty years, from the beginning of her illness, greatly to his relief, she had avoid ed anything approaching to close, confidential talk any allusion to the past or the future as they more immediately concerned themselves. He had taken care that everything money could do was done for her. A London physician had been sum moned in consultation ; fall the con cern that decorum exacted under the circumstances had been testified by him ; he was constantly in the sick room. But the solemn confi dence, the final understanding, the supreme valediction that might be looked for from two human beings who had passed almost a life-time together, had never been uttered. Now it became clear to him that they were not to be separated thus. The opportunity for a last word had come, and she clutched at it with almost frenzied eagerness. The ex pression on her face be could not misread. She was determined to say what she had to say. She felt confident that death would afford her this grace consent to hold herself aloof a little while. "John" she began, gathering fire and force with every word, all the pent up indignation of years poured forth at the last, "I have had some thing to say to you for years past Now I must speak, or not at all." "You ought not to agitate your self Bessie," he said, nervously; it will do you harm. "Harm I she reiterated witn a gesture of contempt "You speak of harm to a dying woman ! But do not interrupt me; my time is short John I am nl rtraid to die. I have never been what is called a religious woman. I was never so tender hearted to the poor and afflicted as I see now that I ought to have been. But l have done my duty. As a wife, as a woman, I have acted up rightly. When the same moment comes to you, when the door stands open before you, as it does to me, between life and death and you know you must go the dark way, can you suv even so much for yourself?'' She leaned forward, not looking exactly at bim he could have borne that belter but peering as if into lu turity ; seeing.so he seemed to think, what lay behind the grave and was veiled from his own and from all mortal eaze. The meanness, the homeliness to the woman, vanished indeed then. Scmethiog more than personal feeling the indignation born of si lently endured wrong flashed from her dying eyes, and white, almost spectral features. It was not the injured wife, the outraged woman so much that spoke now to John Har- dan's guilty soul as the voice of con science itself, of awful justice, -of awarding doom. 'I have been a hypocrite to yon all these years. I have never once opened my lips to you on the sub ject of your conduct to me," she went on in a supernaturally strong, clear voice. "But do you suppope I was blind or a fool ? These long winter evenings I dragged out as best I could alone, did 1 not know how they were spent by you t J was not going to Haunt myself be fore the world 89 an insulted wife to court the neighbors' pity for the slights put upon me by my husband. No: I sat alone amid all the show so hateful to me, with unspoken curses in my heart What right had you to treat roe thus ? Was I the only one of us two to grow old and wrinkled ? If our marriage was not blest with children, the misfortune was mine'aa well as yours. These things rest with the Almighty." For a moment, a moment only, her voice swayed to real feeling, as she continued : "There was a time when life was a hard struggle to us and you be haved kindly to me, I would have laid down my life to make you hap py. And I was ever a true wife to you, John you can not deny that. Do you remember when wekeptonr little shop, how I used to sit up till past midnight ironing your shirts and mending your clothes? And.the first time you were summoned to sit on a lury, I was so proud to have you go. I never told yon that I sold my father's watch the very watch he left me to buy your black coat and turn you out like a gentle man. And now Yet one tremor more aa she sot out the rest of the sentence '' An4 now.'haUVou treated tns lib' the consideration doe to a wife tia you' eared for me at all, I should be the first to' say to too on my dy ing bed : "Do not fret, my dear ; marry some rood woman ; try to bs happy for my salts.'

You will tremble when death stands near you, beckoning as he now beckons me, and tremble in vain " White as the dying woman the husband leaned forward with a word of exculpation, an entreaty for par don on his trembling lips. But it was too late. The force of ebbing life bad already spent itself. Mrs. Harden ftll back unconscious on the pillow, and as he caught her in his arms, he saw that the end had come. The faithful Anna, bearing his cry for help hastened to the bed side to find her mistress dead. Ill So enticing the warmth of that luxurious fur-lined cloakosoft and easy the arm chair in which her patron had settled her that Con stance Emery felt ready to drowse. But her brain was too busy with the future to indulge in sleep. She must, would keep awake, in order to think out the future as it opened to her enlarging gaze. Perhaps the girl was not deserving of wholesale condemnation after all. Vulgarity may be indeed a piece of ill fortune as much as a wry nose or misshap ed foot ; only to the rarely endowed ones is it possible to burst the chains of custom, bringing up and heredity. In the midst of foolishly-bewildering dreams of silks and trinkets, carriages and lackeys, boudoirs and fashionable receptions, she was aroused by the abruptest intrusion. Risin to her feet, for she knew well who the intruder must be, for she was fain to clasp bis band, to whis per an endearing word, to greet him fondly as she bad done surrepti ously many times before. But, at a glance toward her patron, her heart stood still. Clever she was not, feminine tact she possessed in a moderate degree ; yet she realized in a moment, without knowing the cause, the nature of the transforma tion that had come over him. She stood aghast, not venturing to step forward, lacking courage even so much as to utter his name. He came close up to the table by which she stood, holding in his hand a small strip of paper barred with pink. "Constance," he said, in that brief, hard unanswerable voice she knew so well, though now used for the first time to ber. "Constance, I can not marry you. I shall never marry again. Here is compensation for a broken promise." He turned up the lamp in order that she might see what he had giv en her. There it was plain enough nothing could be plainer a check for 5,000. The astonished girl was dumb, and be hardly knew whether as yet she fully understood the meaning of his words. Something else he had to say. however, unmistakable, clear and to the purpose also. "It will be better for you not to stay here any longer. I have order ed coffee to be ready by six o'clock, and the brougham at half-past in time to catch the early express. William will drive you to the sta tion and give you a first class ticket Mind and be ready." I Still not a word from the scarlet cheeked, mortified, trembling girl. Had any one half an hour before as sured Constance Emery that she should thus stand silent and abash ed in the presence of this man, she would have laughed the prognosti cation toscorn. But with that quick unerring in stinct of the dull the instinct born of fear and self-preservation she now recognized the fact for herself. There was nothing she could say to soften him, even were she mistress of herself; blandishment, exhorta tions, tears. woild prove ineffective as children's dams to keep out the tide. Something had happened she vaguely guessed tha truth to shut him from her.to harden him toward her forever. Whilst she stood thus shrinking, irresolute, unable to get out a sylla ble, yet feeling that she ought to say something on ber own behaf,anothi er significant act told her clearly enough, wero proofs still wanting, of wb-t was ip Mr. Harden'1 mind. The rich fur lined cloak in which he had so tenderly enveloped her just an hour ago lay on the ground. She now saw bim pick it up, and with a gesture not to be mistaken, lay it, carefully folded, on his wife's favor ite chair at the extreme end of the room. That cloak she was not to touch again. Then he left her in a moment more to return. Constance Emery looked up, and once more ber heart stood still. He had re pented of this cool abruptD?, this uudeserved colduesa, and was come to whisper a tender word in her ear, to console ber for what he had per haps been forced into by s death scene. He csme back to the table, leaving the door ajar. "Take good care of that piece of paper," was all he said, as he point ed to the check. Again the door closed ,and this time he was indeed gone. She heard him go to his closet on the same floor and look himself in ; that was a sign also she had learned to understand. Nothing remained but to do as she was bid.

And, lastly, bat check, when sbe grew calm enough to think about it, altogether altered the aspects of things. She had no idea of Mr. Harden 's real wealth, but the sum ha bad just given ber in lieu of a wedding ring seemed to her simple eyes enormous. Whatever happen ed, she was a great personage now. erald It was characteristic of the girl, as she deposited the check at the hot torn of her trunk and suddenly made her preparations for departure, that she never lor a single moment re gretted the affection of this man or what had passed muster for his af fection. She only thought of his rough flatteries, bis unfigurative compliments, his homely admira tion. Aut all of these, and much mone surely awaited her in the tri umphant future. Why should she shed a tear for one who could part from her then without a handclasp, a tmile, a fond look ? She almost felt that in time she should learn to hate him. True enough, punctual to the mo ment, William waited in the porch with the brougham A moment later and a woman's trunk was placed on the top ; a slen der, girlish figure, wearing a small crimson hat with white feather, and tight-fitting crimson mantle border ed with fur stepped in ; the door was shut; and, as if divining his master's wishes the old man-servant drove the carriage swiftly toward the lodge gate. IV. What the rich man did with his inner life from that time none knew. Outwardly it was clear for all to see a model of austereness, recti tude and rigid adherence to duty. Mr. Harden made no affectation of piety of conversion, as the phrase goes. He did not take to reading bis Bible, or excessive church-going. The exactions of conscience and custom in this latter respect had ever been fulfilled by him. But in his lonely, remorse stricken widow hood, be took to good company. Alike in dress and manner, he affec ted tbe air of a gentleman. As if to challenge the world, moreover, to say a syllable against his character, he generally bad to reside with him some needy clergyman or young man preparing for holy orders, with whom he took his meals and spent his evenings over chess and back gammon. He gave clerical dinner parties, too, delighting to assemble round bis luxurious board all tbe clergy of the neighborhood well pleased also, in turn, to accept invi tations to their houses, and be initia ted into what is called good society generally. The world of course wel comed the millionaire into their ranks. He might have married half a dozen times to his social and moral advancement had he pleased. From tbe first however, it was evi dent to all that whatever John Har den might do for the church and society, be would never marry again. Clerical ladies might get money out of bim ; no woman would ever persuade him to pur chase a wedding ring. These dis tractions relieved the tedium of soli tude, and if he did not look cheer ful, at least he invariably wore ao expression of satisfaction. He might well look satisfied? He was satis fied himself in other words, as he thought, balancing bis moral affairs, and putting himself on the right side of the banking book. Nor was the widower forsaken in moments of sickness or when in firmities overtook him. The devo ted Anna, whose heart had once turned wholly against him, whose very feminine instincts had revolted against the Blights put upon her in distress, now testified even affection ate solicitude for the changed, re pentant man. And if there was one person in the world to whom he ever opened bis lips on the subject of the past it was to his wife's faith ful servant and only friend. lat ot his Race. A good story is told about a purse proud old nobleman who was trav eling through the rural districts of Sweden. Over in that country tbe people do not have quite so much respect for the titled aristocracy j in some other localities on the coni tinent One day ths nobleman came rol ling up ta a country tavern, and &a be slopped his carriage, he cit ed out in an imperious tone : "Horses, landlord ; horses here at once." "I am very much pained to in form you, my lord, that you will have to wait sometime over an hour before fresh horses can be brought in," replied the landlord. "How !"' violently exclairad the nobleman, "this to me? My man, demand horses at once." Then, observing tha reh and sleek-looking ho.;4 which were be ing led nn U another carnage, he said "For whom are those horses?" "They were ordered for this gen tleman," answered the landlord, pointing to a tall slim individual a few paces distant "I say, my man," called out the nobleman to tbe slim gentleman. "will you let me have those horses if I pay you liberal bonus there for?" "Not much," answered tbe slim gentleman, "I intend to use them myself." "This to me !" exclaimed the no bleman. "That's what I said, p' the slim man. "Perhaf j ya are not aware who I am ?' wared the now thoroughly agitated and irate nobleman. "I am, sir.

Our horse-breeders are interesting themselves bo much now-a-days in the horses of Furope, that we give some of the oldest, original races, from which the rest have largely sprung, and some typical modern breeds improved, and by careful breeding brought to their present excellence. Prominent among these, and probably that one approaching most nearly the original horse, un changed by contact with men, ia tbe Tarpan, or ud horse ot .enuai Asia. Closely allied, are the Kiangs, the wild horses of the northern slopes and steppes of the Himalayas. These are the horses upon ;which the mounted hordes of Parthia swept over the ricb plains of Persia and Medea in ancient times, and which greatly improved the breeds of horses then used by the Persians, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and the Caucasus. Their inuence has extended in process of time to what is now Turkey, Greece, South ern Europe, and the Danubian prin cipalities ; thence, no doubt, to Ger many and Central turope, and per haps, by tbe Roman conquests, even farther. The Arabians are a dis tinct race, greatly modified by man, yet maintained to the present day little changed from the earliest his toric times. They have been reared from these early times, with regard to the strictest rules of breeding, and with unbroken pedigrees. I heir in fluence upon modern horses has been immense, and their blood is still sought, to give quality and bot tom, where close breeding or other cause develops weakness of consti tution, or any falling off from typic al excellence. We have the breed, of races of Morocco and Barbary, in Africa, and of tbe Russian Steppes, and Moldavia, as examples of tbe effects of mingling Arabian blood with that of the native races of these countries, modified largely, as inti mated in the case of European horses, by the blood of the wild horses of Asia, particularly by that introduced by the Parthians. The English thoroughbred is es sentially of pure Oriental blood, al though doubtless somewhat modi fied by unknown admixtures of that of tbe original British horse, before the days of stud-books, and the most careful breeding, which has prevail ed during the past two hundred years. He is much larger than the Arab, and is preferred by modern breeders as a source of the highest qualities of the horse speed, bot tom, style, action and constitution. He has given the finest characteris tics to all the breeds of England arid America, excepting only the native breeds of ponies, and of the heavy draft horses of England and Scot land, which last affiliate closely with the heavy horses of Flanders and Denmark. Examples of this im provement are seen in the superb Cleveland Bays, used chiefly as car riage horses, and in the excellent Suffolk Punch, an admirable horse- of-all-work, while the English hunt er, which is not a breed, but a high bred grade, is doubtless the best saddle horse and heavy weight car ter for rough work to be found in the world in fact, a typical war- eorse for the uses of modern (warfare. The French horses have been greatly improved since tbe times of the crusades, by the the introduction of Arabian, and in some cases Barbary and Spanish (Andalusian) blood. Promineut among these are the Percheron, which show the Arabian blood prominently ; the Melleraud. which was modified by ntive Brit ish blood prior to the crusades, and by Arab blood since ; the Crotentin, which shows the influence of the Danish horse; tbe Limosine, ia which the Arab, through its congen er, the Barb, has been the improving influence. Than we have the horse of Boulogne, alfiliating with those of Rurgundy and Flanders, which as now bred, are taking a prominent rank among draft horses. The horses of Germany owe their excellence, and among them are many of good quality, to crosses with tbe Arabian and with the English thorough bred, or both but largely to a mag nificent Arab stallion, given by the Empress Catharine 2d, of PaUj.a, to the Austrian General Kuimitx. and by him to Count UnJenau, who ith bim established a breed which. like the Qriorfs of Russia, have been exceedingly useful in improving tbe Stock of otner breeding studs. His name was Turkham Atti.

"Beware of imitations," monkey eaid to the dude. as the Tha Belailoa of flaato to Health. An eminent physician cites a rase in which his sister, ajed fifty years, was afflicted with tubercular con sumption, her death, as the natural result of such a terrible dLs-S.e, be ing expected at any time, but being an ardent lover of plants and flow ers, she was daily accustomed to move among her plants, of which she possessed a large number, in her sleeping room as well as many oth er specimens in bedj outside. Her f.iends reproved her for sleeping in the same room with her plant. ; but the years came and went, and she was still found moving abont among her flowers in her eightieth year, surviving those who many years be fore predicted her immediate demise, as the result of her imprudence. Who will say but what the exhala tions from her numerous plants, in creasing the humidity of the atmos phere in which ehe lived, prolonged her life? The above ia but one of many cases, in which tuberculp.r con sumption has been arrested and sometimes wholly cured by tbe san itary effects produced by working among plants for a considerable time. We know of cases in which druggisU, ministers, students from school, were compelled to relinquish their chosen vocations on account failing health, and resorted to the nursery or hot-hous. In almost every instance restoration to vigor ous health was the result We con tend, therefore, that the old super stition that house plants are inju rious to health, is nothing but a myth. Soila ad Se?aaona Afreet Grapea. Quality of Perhaps no fruit varies more ia the quality of its flavor, as affected by location and the seasons, than the grape. The same variety which. is rich and luscious in one place, U poor and tasteless in another. The Concord is a fine grape in southern New Jersey, but inferior in the nor thern part of the State : it is Urea and rich when grown on the shalr banks of the lakes ot Western New York, but email and insipid on th clay soil at the foot of some of thesi lakes. On the best of soils, a mark ed difference is made in the charac ter of the grape by the season. A summer rich in sunshine, and fre from prolonged rains and periods of cloudy weather, with a late and beautiful fall, will produce grapes of a qualtiy that is never eeen in ordi nary seasons. Even the most com mon varieties attain a sweetness and a flavor which rank them with tha better kinds. In such a vesr, the Concord contains a double mouth ful one in the pulp, and one in tho skin. Tbe Catawba grows almost as dark as the Isabella, and the Di ana colors a perfect purple, and loses entirely the peculiar "catty" flavtr of other seasons. Some approach to this perfectioa may be made by artificial means. If a vine is trained against the south ern side of a porch, and over a tio. roof having reflected heat, the sizs and quality of the grape will sur pass that grown on the open trelli.4. Our native varieties, grown in a cold grapery, change their natural char acteristics. Tbe Iona loses its sharp and sprightly flavor, and becomes a mild, sweet grpe, much resembling its foreign sisters. These facts will account for the varying reports that are given, year by year, of aU varieties of grapes. While a few succeed over a wide ex tent of territory, there is not one which has not been condemned aa worthless, by some one, for some place. The same grape, also, fails or succeeds in the same locality, ii different seasons. This should teaci us to be careful about discarding a variety, without continued trials throughout successive seasons. The grape that fails at first, may be th very one to succeed in the futum Some of our choicest kinds will suc ceed under the best conditions, ami if we can aid in producing theso conditions, we add another elemen . to the enjoyment and rewards cf fruit culture. -In the Saddle.'1 If the reports of that red-hot anti Mahone Journal, the New York Sun, are correct the Democrat rf Virginia are again " in the saddle," inflaming sectional animosity an 1 appealing to the tebel spirit that dominated the "Obi Dominion" quarter of a century since.

But they join in a hypocritical bowl against the Republicans who demand that fair play be accorded to the colored voters of the Southern. Sutei.
