ALICE HYLAND. I!Y AXNA SntkLIXL In the witle, pleasant drawing-room of Alice Ilyland's home, two people bad been xeated for nearly half an hour in a silence so profound that the room nvght have been though unoccupied by any one listening outside. Alice Hyland Iter- self, a fair, sweet woman of 23 or 24, was busy with some crimson wool-work, over which, as it lay in a rich, warm mass in her lap, her email white hands moved slowly, and as if the work was making but little progress. Very often her eyes were lifted and fastener! on the face of her companion, a Ull, fine-looking man of thirt)', who was taking visiting cards one after another from a basket and drawing faces or 'figures npnn there, and very evidently absorbed with her thoughts. By some intuition many persons pos ses", but which cannot De denned by irortlf, keen observer would have thought, " She loves him, and her love is not returnrxl." Yet Dr. Fred Whiteman would have described himself as a distant connection of Alice Hy land's, and her warm friend, and the lady herself woaM have claimed no closer tie. Tbe silence had long been oppressive to Aiice, but she did not break it. Dr. Whiteman spoke at last., his eyes fixed npod a profile npoa the last card from the basket, to which he was adding elab orate whiskers. " Have I not heard you speak of Ella Blake, AllieT "Very likely. "She was my dearest friend tor years." " Vnd is not now 7" A vivid blush rushed into Alice's cheek. "Will yoa tell me why yoa ajk? It is not my fault that I have not seen Ella for nearly five years." "Did yoa quarrel?" 14 She was very unkind to me. There ! yoa will inbgiidge that speech if I do not tell you the whole story." " And that is juat what I want yoa to do." When Mr. Blake died, and Eila was left without any money, after having supposed herself a rich man's daughter, I w rote to her imploring her to come here, to let me be her sister, to share in all I potssesB'.'d. I could not go to her, for it was when Uncle Mark was dying, and he did not want me out of his sight Eila wrote me a very uckind letter. That is, it was a beautif j!, noble letter, full of indent n lence, and refusing to accept any pecuniary assistance. But, Fred, how could she write it to me, who owed her father everything?" "Yoa? Pardon me, but yoa know, dear friends as we have bean since yonr Cncle Mark came home, I have ki.own exceedingly little of your previous lire." " Yoa do not know, then, that Mr. Blake took me, after my p&rents died, into his own borne. My fathei was Mrs, Blake's second cousin, so you see how very faint was my claim upon him. But he never made any difference between Ella and myself. Every advantage she enjoyed I shared. We had the same al lowance, the same parents. Miss Blake, who kept house for her brother, was like a mother to me nntil she died. When Uncle Mark came home from California a rich man, and sought me out, there was as maeh grief in the parting of Ella and myself as if we had been true sis ters. But when I understood that I had been supported by charity for years, I was glad to accept Uncle Mark's offer of a home. He was my father's brother, a bacnelor, and in bad health. It seemed a duty to share bis borne, nurse and pet him, and relieve Mr. Burke of the bur den he had never let me see was a heavy one. Uncle Mark bought this place be caose he disliked city life, and Ella came for summer visits until her father died. But, Tred, she should have let me pay something of my debt to her father, who was like a father to me for seventeen years." " She is proud and sensitive ; but, Al ice, yoa can pay yoor debt now. Two weeks ago I was called in by the landla dy of a 'retched tenement house to a sick girl. To my pain and surprise, I recognized a lady who had been a teach er in a school where I was the medical attendant I had noticed her then ; her rare beauty, her gentle manner, and her care of tbe sick children. When I miss ed her I was told that a trouble in her throat prevented her teaching, and that she was working in a paper-box factory. I knew nothing more nntil a fortnight ago, when I found her fever-stricken, al most dying." " Why did you not tell me before V " I only knew her as Miss Blake, and I did not associate her with yoa nntil yesterday, when I saw her full name ID OCTOBER 23. 1889 upon some papers its her rooms. Then I remembered how often yoa had spoken ofE la Blake." And now ? What shall I do?" " It will be a risk to move Ler ; and yet she is dying ia that stifling room where she is. with no attention but what the landlady can give her. I thought if she could come hero " "If! She must come here. It is only six miles to drive. Will yoa order the carriage, Fred ? and I will get wrap., pil lows, wine anything you think needful. It is not too late?" " No. We can go in and bick before dark. How can I thank yoa ?,' Something in tbe tone made the girl's heart contract with a severe spasm of jealous pain. The next instant she 8 lid : "It is I who thank yoa, Fred." And all through the long drive to the city she tried to keep steadily before her Ella Blake's claim npon her gratitude. She had inherited from her uncle a large fortune, and through him she hail lie come the friend ofE'r. Whiteman, a dis tant cocain, who had been with her un cle in California. From the first hour when he had tak en her hand in his warm, friendly clasp, and given cordial assent to her uncle's hope that they would be good friends', be had filled a pla"e in her heart never befew opened. It was not long before she knew that it was her uncle's dearest wish to see her Dr. Whiteman's wife and she let her love go from her, not realiz ing that ia return she had received only warm friendship. For a year after Mark Hy land's death, his niece and heiress traveled with friends in Europe, returning to settle down in her lovely country borne, with Mrs. Gorham, a meek widow lady, to "play propriety." And in that year Dr. Whiteman hnd increased his city practice, so that it was only in occasional visits he saw Alice Hyland. Her heart had starved for him in their long separation, and she grieved silently and secretly over his many en gagements that kept him from her. But she knew he was proud to his heart's core, and she was sure he was waiting to make bis own fortune before he wooed an heiress. Not once had a thought of jealousy distressed her. Not once Lad she anticipated a rival. But she knew in that long drive that the love for which she had waited so trustingly, never doubting it would be spoken in good time, had gone from her. Her friend and she said the name over and over in her heart, ait if to fasten it there forever her friend talked soltly, tenderly, of the sick girl, his voice often trembling as be spoke of the rink of mov ing her in her weak Ftate, and then more hopefully of the good it must do her to have pure air, proper food, and loving care. " For I know," he said, " how yoa will nurse Ler, Al!ie.J" No one narses her now, though the landlady does the best ehe can. But yoa will give her new life. I know how tenderly you can care for one yoa love, for I do not f jrgt-t yonr de votion to yoar ancle. It will lie strange if we can sot make Miss Blake well be tween as, Allie." " Very solemnly, more so than she in tended, Aiice said : " God grant we may !" "And in her heart she said : "I will pay my debt to Ella Blake if my own heart breaks." For many days after the invalid be came Alice's guest it seemed as if a cof fin and a grave would lie all that could be given her. But Mrs. Gorham sud denly proved herself a nurse above all praise, and Alice, though young, had some experience. With Dr. Whiteman to direct them, the two ladies shared tbe nursing, while Elm lay fever-bound, de lirious, and aluiont exhausted. But youth was strong, and the crisis once passed, the fever broken, the mind weak but clear, Ella began to recover. All her pride lay prostrate before her gratitude as she stw how earnestly Alice longed to help her, and realized how near death 6he had been. And Alice, as convalescence "came fought bravely to add her greatest sacri fice to the care and comfort already giv en. As mistress of t be boose, and nurse, she could easily have mad? tbe meetings bet keen Eila and the doctor brief ami unsatisfactory. Mrs. Gorham could .have been " on duty " at every interview, and they could have been made strictly pro fessional. But Alice H lan 1 was rot of the nature to half concede any claim on her, and having once resoU'ed to help the wooing cf the man che loved, she was the kindest of friends to both Fred and Eila. Invitations to dine, whenever be couM escape from his practice, were urged npon Dr. Whiteman, and Alice de veloped .t devotion to music quite new to her. Under cover of her stormy "show pieces," her brilliant bravura, Fred and Ella talked, while Mrs. Gorham nodded over her knitting, and only put in a word occasionally, of caution about wea riness or chill. Autumn was fast approaching winter, when one morning Ella came into Al ice's room, very pale, and yet with a res olute look in her eyet, as if nerving her self for some great trial. "Alice, dear," she said, coming to her friend's side, and drawing her down upon a sofa by a loving embrace, " I have a letter to-day from Mrs. L?eman, the lady whose children I nursed throngh scarlet fever at the seminary. Their mother was in Havana for her health then.. Now she writes me that she is going to Europe, still in search of health, and she wishes me to go with her as governess to Julia and Mary. She makes a most liberal offer of salary, and I know she will give me a pleasant position as frie nd. It may do my own health good, too." " But yoa are quite well again?" cried Alice. "Yes, excepting my throat. That some times troubles me. I must begin to get ready soon, Allie. Mrs. Leemaa sails i n two weeks and I must go to the city for winter shopping. My wardrobe cannot be very extensive, but I mttat get some few additions." "Bat, Ella, yoa talk as if yoa had ac cepted this offer." f "I shall accept it. I know, Allie, how welcome I am here, how good yoa will always be to" me, bat I cannot be happy unless I am independeut Don't think I do not value your love and generosity, but I must go. I wiil write to Mrs. Lee man" "To-morrow," interrupted Alice. "Juat promise me to wait till to-morrow. One day cannof make any great difference." "To-morrow, then," Ella said, wonder ing a little that Alice did not urge her refusal of Mrs. Leeman'a offer, and a lit tle grieved that she did not. "But I mat see about my things to day," and she went to he. own room. Alone, Hlice, not stirring from her seat, with no dramatic jesture, her hands only locked tightly together, made her last struggle. She knew that Dr. White man had not spoken to Ella as a lover, and wondered somewhat that it was so ; but supposed he was waiting until a lar ger practice made his prospects better for a home. Now, if Ella went away, across the ocean for an indefinite time, would the heart she had once thought all ber orn turn to her for comfort and love? It woutu be easy to keep Ella from any private interview; ea.y to prevent any explanation. There was no actual treach ery, since she had been told nothing, anil only by her own love gneswed Fred's se cret. It was a bittertemptalion, but gratitude and honor con piered. She wrote to Dr. Whiteman, and told him of Mrs. Lee man's letter. "If yoa wish to see Eila before she an swers," she wrote, "come to dinner to day, fjrslis will write to-morrow. I have begged her to wait until then to decide." A servant was sent to tbe city to wait at Dr. Whiteman's olEce and deliver the letter. Alice would not play with her conscience by leaving it to a mail deliv ery, that might be delayed. The answer reached her in the afternoon. "Bet of F menus : I will be with you at six this evening. I see you know my secret, and from my heart thank yoa for your sympathy and interest." So, nnd?r cover of the noisert of marches on the grand piano, with Mrs. Gorham sent up stairs to seek for a care fully hidden ball of wool, Ella heard the "old, old story" in Fred Whiteman's ten dered wooing, and put ber hand in hU, content to let him rule her life. Very sweet and tender were the few wort's Alice spoke after Fred called her to their corner by tbe fire-place, and there was no sign of suffering on her face as she heard Ella's w hisper of love in their confidential talk after Fred was gone. Her wedding gift was a check Ella was almost inclined to refuse, it was so large ; but Fred judged wisely when he advised her to accept it. It was from Alice Hy land's home that Fred took his bride, and in that home there is ever a warm welcome for both. Time which cures all ills, is tenderly closing the wound in Alice's heart, and it may be that some other wooer will fill it ; but she is well content that she has paid ber debt. Disease in Farm Animals. We shoald endeavor to prevent the ap pearance of disease, rather than cure it after it has come. Sanitation, not medi cation, is what will reduce disease among farm animals to the minimum. Disease is by far the more common among swine than among other farm animals in this country. Annually above ten per cent, of our swine die of disease. Yet there are men who have raised swine exten sively for fifteen to twenty years with as little disease among them as among tbe best kept horses or cattle. These men have reared pure bred swine, and some of them are in the region where corn is largely fed. It cannot, therefore, be 6aid that so much disease among swine is due to inbreeding, or wholy to the large feed ing of corn. There is no reason why swine should be more sui ject to disease than any other farm aniuiaL. Tbe fact that they are, is because they are treated differently. Their quarters are allowed to betxiino uio.e fiituy ; tuey arj given drink that other animals wunld not be expected to use ; their feed is thrown in the mud and their own manure; and their shelters are of the' poorest descrip tion and devoid of all means of ventila tion. The men who have raised swine with little disease, have given theirswine pure drink, a variety of clean, wholesome food, comfortable, well-ventilated shelters and clean, dry quarters. It must cot, however, be inferre i that there is among other farm animals no more disease than there should be. If more care were taken to provide sheep, cuttle and horses with only healthful food, drink, shelter and surroundings, it ie siife to say that there would be much less disease among them. The investiga tions of Europeon veterikiariea,and of Dn. Law, Grant and others in this country, have Bhown that bovine tuberculosis is most prevalent among cws kept in damp foul, nnventilated stables, or upon wet land where the air and food are contami nated. In other words, sanitation and hygiene are opposed to bovine tubercu losis. Nor is this disease aa exception. Sanitary measures are the best preven tives of every disease afflicting our farm animals. The preponderance of evidence is that swine-plague, bovine tuberculosis, foot rot, glanders, etc., are produced by a mi crobe, although the germ theory of dis ease U disputed by some. However, it has been established without doubt that those eonditi are an w holesome to higher animal life are most favorable to the microbes which, are suppueed to pro-luce these diseases. Thus, these mi crobes flourish in water contaminated with decaying organic matter, or ia damp decomposing litter; and while tltey are not introduced into the system through pure drink or fxxl, they are introduced through foul, dirty drink and food o fieri er than by any other medium. The measures recommended for the prevention of disease would also be desir able were no disease to be feared.' It is firmly established that animals in low bxiily condition are more subject to dis ease than vigoroiM, thrifty animals That which makes the farm animal thrifty and vigorous, and therefore less liable to dis ease, also makes it profitable. The more w Iiolesome the food, drink and surround ings of the animal, the stronger its appe tite and the more thorough its digestion. It eats well, the exee above the food of support is at the maximum, and as this measures the gain, the profit is large. As digestion is vigorous, the amount of food which escapes assimilation is reduced to the minimum. Where "poor condition" ia not allowed to exist, disease ia scarcely known, and at th same time the animal makes the largest ret am for tbe food eon tamed.

American Agrieuiti.riO. How to Cet Sleep. BT A LOSO SirFEEKR FROM IXVSIA. With the return f the cil.l eights of winter I improved more and more. All medicines and all remedies were tliscon tinued and I obtained four and five hoars of dreamless sleep, which I have con tinned to do with- rare interval ever since. Lrttterly, indeed, ranch to my as tonishment, I have achieved six and sev en hoars at a stretch ; bat these instan ces are so phenomenal as to cause a feel ing of bewilderment at my capacity for sleep. My first precept to the sleepless, therefore, is, " See that ' your liver is in order." And now let me refer to one of what I may call the secondary causes of sleep lessness that is causes apart from bodily health and disturbance of mind. One of these is of so simple a character that I could almost hesitate to name it, but from the fact that the abandonment of it in my case had a most miraculous ef fect in promoting sleep. When I was in the midst of my most acute sufferings I invariably kept my watch and a candle and matches close to tbe side of my bed. The consequence of this was that the mo ment I turned in bed or recovered con sciousness to ever so small an exb-nt my thoughts immediately flew to the match es and I felt so acute an anxiety to know how long I had been asleep that in a mo ment I was wide awake aod struck a match to looi at my watch. After lieing thus thoroughly aroused, sleep did not return for sometimes an hour, sometime two, sometimes not at all. One Right it occurred to me, as it ought to have done at first, that if the facilities for str'king a light and consulting my watch were not at hand, I might possibly only turn on my pillow and go to sleep again. From the time I first banished the matches, I have scarcely ever had a really Lad night. The habit of routing up was broken, and habit is a wonderful factor in connection with sleep. The second precept I would lay down for the sleepless, theref-x, is, " Never have a box of matches near the bed." Next, I am convinced from an experi ence of many years that to the sufferer from chronic sleeplessness1, alcohol, even in moderate quantities, is injurious. Many sufferers from insomnia hare said to Die : " I feel so exhausted from want of sleep I am obliged to take a atnall quantity of stimulants to keep me going." I have suffered from sleeplessnes as acutely as auy one, but I do not believe in alcohol. Anything that tends to increase the cir culation and inflame the blood vttesels is fatal, more especially at night. My next, and one of my most emphatic precepts, therefore, is, " Be very careful to avoid alcohol." I will now refer to another system I have adopted in my battle with insomnia and which I still find occasionally indis pensable. I refer to reading in bed. 3Ir. Henry Kingley, who appears to have suffered much from insomnia, recom mends this, and goes so far as to say that one must do it iu dtSance of the risk of setting the curtains on fire. In my own case there is no risk of this, for the sim ple reason that I never have bed cur tains, which to my mind are a delusion and a snare. Whenever, in the absence of matches, I find myself wide awake af ter three or four, or, it may be, five hours' sleep, and feel that there is little or no chance of my going to sleep again, I invariably read in bed for an hour. If I. lid not do this a state of restlessness would set in a feveri-m craving for sleep, which womd lie the meats of ef fectually banishing it for the rest of the night. The best thing, therefore, to be done is to light a candle, eat a List-nit, and take a book. Bear in mind that the book miMt not be of a too exciting char acter, but just sufficiently interesting to get the thoughts into a quiet, peaceful train. One very frequent cause cf sleepless neps is too great an ab;indanc of bed clothing. A sheet, two blaiike's. and a counterpane are generally sulTicient in winter, except in very severe weather, and a sheet and blanket without counter pane in summer. In former years I was ie:kle8 enough to sleep ",n strange beds without first examining the a noun t of clothing. In the small hours of morning I would awake hot and restless, and find to my consternation three or lo ir blank ets atd a counterpane over m, even in mild weather. To a bad sleeper, this is fatal. He should accustom himself to as little bed-clothing as pomible, and of as tight a character. I'all M,ill P,,itt. Keeping Engagements. A boy should not make an engagement units it is a proper one; bur, having made it, he should keep it. If an hour has 'oeen nam.-.l, he should be there on time, or if not l.e should have some valid reason to offer for his failure to do so. He may have the liberty to waste his own time, but he has no right to waste the time of another. The sacredn with which SirWilliara Napier regarded an engHgeiuent, even of a seemingly trivial character, is shown by an incident. One day he met a little girl who was sobbing violently over a bowl which she had broken. "You can mend it can't you?" she ap pealingly said to him. The bowl was past mending, and, on patting his hand into his pocket, he found that he had left his parse at home. "Meet me here at this hour tomorrow, my dear," he saiiL "111 give jou a six pence with which to buy yourself another bowl." When he reached home he found on his desk an invitation to dine with some distinguished gentlemen at Bath tbe next day. He had to forego the gre it pleasure because of the engagemfnt which he hal made with the little girl, and so he notified the host th.it a previ ous appointment would prevent him from accepting the invitaiioa. His in tegrity would not allow him to break an engagement that involved but a sixpence which be might have paid at some other time. President . Lincoln had been trained from boyhood to honr every promise that he made, After ha waa married, and had a family of bis own, be was vis ited by a gentleman of tome distinction, who, unfortunately made j romirra u.ce feely than he kepi there. Ia order to induce one of Mr. Lincoln", boys to sit on his lap, the gentlfrtisn of fered to give him a charm which he wor on his watch-chain. The boy cUmSered apon his lap, and finally the gentleman roje to go. "Are yoa not going to keep yonr prom ise with my boy V Mr. Lincoln asked. "What promise?" inquired the other. "Yoa said yoa wftuid give him that charm," reminded Mr. Lincoln. "Ob, I couldn't." langhe-i tbe visitor. "It is not only valuable, but .1 -prize it highly as an heirloom." "Give it to him," Mr. Lincoln sternly said. "I would not want him to know that I entertained one who had do re gard for his word.'1 The gentleman colored, and then nndid the charm and handed it to the boy. We do not know whether th gentleman re ceived the charm again, afterward, but he certainly was taught a lesson. Foul.' Companion. The Family Horse. Of all the luxuries which domestic life, afford", nothing can compare with the pleasure, comfort and profit derived frum the ownership of one of those gentle in telligent servants of man known as the "family horse, safe for women and chil dren to drive." Many people ho live in stntll towns are more cat off from country sights and delight than some of the very poor in crowded cities, for these latter have some times their outings through the summer, furnished by different benevolent and humane societies, but although the worxU may be only a mile away from her vil lage home, a tired mother, even if she? can spare the time, rarely has the st rengt h and energy to walk the distance, no mat ter how her he trt longs to be there with the birds ami the Lees, and all sweet scents and sounds. To such a woman the family horse, sleek of limb and well groomed, or angular and ungraceful ss the case may be, is as much a Loon as the beniaon of friend. The restful, heal ing influences of a drive in the open country, with the peaceful hu-h that seems to brood over everything animate and inanimate coming like a balm to ir ritated nerves, the exhilarating and tonic effects of the bracing air, the ever recur ring objects of interest that tend to draw the tired mind from its daily wearing routine, cannot be overestimate! in hap py, healthful results. Medical men recognize this fact, and every day are laying greater stress on the importance of out-door life for many forms of invalidism. A better way wou' l be to take the medicine before the inval idism begins, and thus avoid the cost of the doctor's prescriptions and fees, for a family horse will pay for itself ia a year or two by tbe saving of doctor's visits and drugs alone. Ooe of the mot pleasantly suggestive sights in a bustling tows is a carriage load of laughing children, froiuthe wee ones to the eldest, piled indisrrininatoly around the mother, who is taking them for a jaunt to the wooiis. The horse may be anything but fleet, but if it be sure footed, it fills all the requirements. Time is no object to these happy creatures as they jog along, sometimes attempting to imitate the songs of the birds that (lit by them, cawing like crow., ba-a-ing like the sheep they see in the fields,' h istliug to the dogs that bark as they pass a farm house in short, filled with delight with everything, and actually overflowing with the ecstacy of mere existence on one of these bright summer days, when "We may shut oar eyes, but we cannot help knowing That skies are clear and grass is grow ing." In fancy we friow them as they'tnra off from the dusty turnpike into a shady track that leads them closer to sylvan beauties. Back in this field is a pretty pond, on whose bosom yellow water lilies) lift themselves from their base of broad green leaves. Coarse as they are, they are rich in tone and color. The marshy land between resembles a blue copse, as its wealth of light blue flags sway on their long stems in the sun light. "We will come here next memorial day to gather them for the soldiers' graves," is resolve. 1 unanimously, as the children pick liberal handfuls to add to the bunch of pink field daisies they have already gathered from the corners of toe rail fence. The white starry blossoms of the black berry forto a fragrant border to the green path they are ridfng over, but what h thia sweet odor that fills the air at they lowly wind op a little hilt, on tlirtop f which wave feathery frn-U of delicate green? It is a wild gra in bloom. A jet black starling, with brilliant scarlet trimming on his own coat, flies away at their approach, and the children scream with delight at his beaut, almost forget ting to notice the delicioa perfume of the vine that cling to the wentlier browned rails and riots luxuriantly on the ground. A woodpecker is ha -iinerin busily oa a bough ne-ar by, and t'irns it red crest sidewi.e to glance at them at they go slowly by, but does not stop its work. Branching off U a road leading to th woods where early in the spnnn can Le found that rare tree a jiok dfgw.d. Its hiding place was found one day by accident, and the secret of its wherea bouts jealously guarded ever since. A concert from a bird choir is going on about them as they journey on. Orioles dazzle them with a Sash of yellow wine as they sing, meadow larks tnll rich ca denzvt, bobolinks twitter ram punt, while the little brovn chippies pipe a dit to the heavy alto of the bluej tya. Strip.! squirrels skip along the ground or ru-h. wildly np the trees, hurryimr to hi ie themselves from the human creatures who have invaded their haunts. There are no bd boys near to stone or chxse them, but they regard women and chil dren as enemies ami refuse to show them selves. Sweet briar gives out its pnnjent per fume, and the horse is nipl to let tin? little ones gather a sprig. Across, (he way rod after rod, on long, sniked stems, are canary -colored flowers tht brigbtii the roadway, and close to the boarder of the broad ditch are more of trie piirple (low ers ; water-ferns grow thickly there, and farther on a field open. to. vi hr we may gather fringed gentian In th fall. Occasionally a farin-hou-e It pa.-w. ia whose garden is deep red pteooie i ' for the season is backward,) while the snow balls and iose-weiglas form a side set ting to the little front porch. And so the merry party jog along sometimes all chitteringt once, some times too context with ail this loveliness to nttera word. Surely the sky wa nev er so blue, the son never shun? so bright ly, the air was never so biUmy an I pore, the world nerer so beautiful, and life so well worth living, as when we have been thus close to nature ! And yet there are women whose only idea of the uses ot a horse and vehicle is to be drawn from their house, arrayed in gorgeous apparel, making fashionable calls, or to be whirled up and down th dusty streets of a town or city.
