"The oil AVakeham boose is U-t," eaid Mr. I-uray, "it twelve hundred dollars for a boarding -house. Nj repairs." -Tbat'e pl news," said iheridi man. "Every Louse in the Windham Block Las gone offiat n':ne hundred like Lot calee," added Loray, complacently, "Very attractive Louse, those, I only w ish I Lad a dozen more like 'em. The place oa second vjcare neeia repairs ; you'll be obUjred to have a plamber and carpenter right off." "See to it, then," said Mandeville, be ginning to g'ance at the pile of unopened letters on his desk a little icpatiently. "And there's the Morand Mansion," added Mr. Luray, -op on the Ilarlem Eiver " -What:" cried Mandeville, sharply. "Isn't that let yet ?" "It's my opinion, sir," said Mr. Ixray, slowly, "there's something radically w rong about that there bout. Nobody wants it. It's been ia the market three successive years and it won't go off, no Low we can Cx it." "But," Mande.il'.e exclaimed, "what do yoa mean ? Is it Lannted V "Not to niy knoaledge, sir." eaid the apent ; "uuiess the tt-nants Lave cho-en to set op a fehorf fjr their special ediij 5ition." "The tenants are distant relations of niy own," said Mr. Mandeville, a little La'ighti'y. "I have not met them for Eiiiuy years, but I Lave reason to believe they are ladies." "Perhaps so, sir," said Mr. Loray, dry ly. "Eat it Las occurred to my mind, now and aaio, as things will occur, yoa knuw, sir, that perhaps I Lad better go up there and see fjoat ii" 'Sut a bad ideal," ai'id Mandeville. Til go myself." And he went The Morand Mansion w as a creat an tique Louse of nioss-covered gray-stone on the banks of the Harlen river, with borders of yellow iaSod.Li ontiining its path like ribbons of g-jld, and the earliest crixuses Lluasoniicg around its door steps, while hoary old pear-trees drooped their bouirhs in the garden, and a superb white-pine tree spread its umbrella of Llack green shadow over the raved cocrt in front. Mr. Mandeville rang at the dr-be!I, (:Iaf:i'iDg as Le did no at the "To Let," whi-h Lad become detarLed from its board, "arH lay wedged inatang'e of gooseberry bu lies. A black-eyed Land some young elf came to the door, with a mass of gyfy black Lair curling down ber back, and a fa-led calico frock, which wag nevertheless w hole and neat. "Is this Louse to let?" Mr. Mandeville p .'itely a&ked. "Ye e s," unwiiiingiyadmittetl Miss Natalie Vane, commonly known as "Nat ty," w ith a glance at the battered board which lay face downward among the gooseberries. "At least the agent told us so and a crofs Id growler Le was." "Could I look at it?" said Mr. Mande- vil!, insinuatingly. "It ain't convt-n ient," arswered Ml Natty, planting herself within the door in such a manner that Le could not pos sibly obtain an entrance without her per mission. "But the sign says "to be seen between the hours of twelve and four,'" argued Mr. Mandeville, consulting Lis chrono meter. "And it is iiow half-past one." "I can't Lelp what the sign says," said -vatty, belli-erently. "It isn't convenient Mamma is an invalid, and she can't have all creation tramping over the floors above her Lea 1." "But I am not 'all creation,'" said Mr. Mandeville. "And I w ill endeavor not to, tramp' er.v more than I can Lelp." "It isn't worth while for you to come in," said Natty, solemnly regarding him. "You wont like the house, anyhow." "And why not?" Le questioned. "It's moldy," said Natty, sinking her voice to a confidential whisper, "and damp. And the ceiling in the blue-room Las fallen, and the paper in the dining room is ail mildew. And the neighbors say there's a ghost Lut I never saw it" "AL1" said Mr. Mandeville. "I thought we should come to it at last A ghost, eh V "Yes," nodded Natty. "Down cellar where the bodies of some Revolutionary foldier were buried long before any one ever thought of building a Louse here. They walk thereat ni.'ht and clank their swords. At least German Cretenen, w ho lived with os once, used to say so. 1 never neard any noise bot the rats. But all the same, it isn't comfortable to Lave people saying that there's a ghost in the h jo." "No; certainly not," acquiesced Mr. Mandeville. ' Besides," added Natty, "the house be longs to a crab." "A what?" cried Mandevilie. "A crab," said Natty. "The landlord, you know. He's a cousin of mamma's nobody knom s bow many times remov ed. But I know Le must be horribly sel fish and miserly. And I rather like the idea of keeping possession of the old Morand Mansion, in spite of Lim. I dare say Le's dancing around the floor of hio money vaults now with rage about it But we Lad as much right to our half of the old property as Le Lad, no matter what the law said. And we are beggars almost, and Le is a rich man." "Law," said Mr. Mandeville, drylv, "but not equity. That's it, eh ?" "We've got possession of the old Loose ; that's all I know," said the young out law. "And we mean to keep it" "Bot perhaps," said Mandeville, "he may not be as bad as you think." "Oh, I'm quite sore of it," said Natty, decisively. "I suppose," said Mandeville, looking keenly at her, "that yon are Natalie?" She started. "How did you know?" "Because," he answered solemnly, "I am the crab!" "What." "I em William MandewlV," Bailing rui.Lly. "open the door, Nattr, and let me in. I want to see your mother Iont be frightened child. I am not an gry with too." Natalie reddened indignantly. "Frightened .m she repeated. "I never was frightened in my life. 4,. at jou. And don't yon think you really are a crab, Mr. Wiliuun Mandet ille r "It is very," said Le, with great calm ne "that I may Lave appeared like a shellfish of that nature. But I assure yoa it Las been quite onintentionaL I have trusted too much to my agent He to d me yon were desirous to leave the house r "Then," said Natalie, energetically, "he told a wicked, wicked story. Why should we leave it? We Lad nowhere else to go." He turned around and held oat Lis Land. "There Ls!en a misunderstanding all around." said Le. "Natty, shall we be friends ?' "With ail my heart I don't ttlieve you can pc&ibly be a crab, after all. and I've been doing yoo icjoitke all these years. And I'm sorry for it so there"" So Natty took Lim into the shabby little boudoir, hang with Tel vet iFr n imitation of Venetian tapestry and all streaked with blue mold, where ber mr.ther sat cowering over a fire of drift wood, which Natty Lad gathered for her aiong the river shore. For they were so poor, so very poor, this mother and her daughter, that even the nreby which they warmed themselves was a n. alter of grave consideration and contrivance. Mrs. Vane was pale and pretty as she sat there in the old silk which was one tissue of mends and darns, bat she rose with the air of a genuine lady to shake Lands with her distant cousin. "Mrs. Vane," eaid tLe young lawyer, with a soiile, after be bad explained to ber the Etracge manner in wLich be and Natty had become friends, after such a strange passage of verbal arms, "Natalie Las shown me myself in quite a new light It is a peculiar sensation to see ourselves as other see us- Will yoa allow me in seme measure to right myself in your estimation and ray own?" They Lad a long council of ways and means there, by the LiaziEg re of drift wood, that evening an J then they went all over the house, even down to the cellar where the ghost was supposed to do Lis rattling at the dead of night And Mr. Mandevilie, still with Lis eyes fixed on Natalie's bright gypsy face, decided that the property needed repairing thor oughly, and invited the widow and her daughter to visit Lim in New York while the renovation took place. My sister will be there to chaperon us," he said, "and I will endravor to show my little cousin Natty some of the things best worth seeing in our great metropolis." "Oh," cried Natty, with her great eyes gliitering like pools of jet, "how nice that w'ul be! Oh, Cousin Mandevill, I do like you so moch V "Will she dare to say that one year from to-day V Le asked himself, w ith a curious sensation at Lis beait For she was so young and pre tiy so Lke a rare ripe peach with the.bloom still on its cheeks. Upon the next years first of April, Mr. Luray came to his chief w ith an anxious fjce. "That old Morand Mansion, air," said Le "I understand it is in perfect order, now, painted and frescoed throughout, with the ground laid out by a landscape gardener. Am I to put it on the list of "To Lets?-" "No," said Mandeville, brusquely, "I propose to occupy it myself as a summer residence." "Yon, sir" "I am to be married next w eek," said Mr. Mandeville, "to Miss Natalie Vane. And we shall live there for the present" That was William Mandeville's love idvl. X-r Yuri L-AiJ'i. Grooming the Farm Horse. There is a more important horse than the trotter or thorocghbrednd that is the farm horse. After a bard day's work or long journey in the heat and dust a washing, if properly done, is very restful and quieting to the horse's tired limbs. Have the water warm and a little soapy. Bub the limbs briskly, anil dry with a cloth and brush lightly. If the weather is at all cool, dry flannel may be profita bly wound about them. It the bood vessels need relieving, use warm wet bandages. These are also useful in cases of sprain, blows or overexertion, but they must not remain cn too long. One-tenth of the care bestowed.opon a great sporting horse would make a farm horse feel too proud of himself. But there is little risk of such a horse ever feeling too prou 1 from any such reason. A Scotch hired plow man grooms Lis team with a degree of loving interest and pri.le to which the average American firmer is almost a stranger, though the Clydesdale team be longs to another man and the man who works is only a hirtlicg, while the Amer ican generally owns the team and, as a rule, the farm as well. Why should not the more valuable beast, because the more useful, have a little of the warmth of interest bestowed upon Lim that is ongrudgicgly bestowed upon a 2.121 trottar? The farmer who looks on Lis farm, Lis stock and Lis other belongings merely as a means to make money, which Le is re luctantly forced to stick to, will never find either piotit or pleasure in Lis work. But the man who feels a pride in Lis , beasts and Las a kindly feeling toward them, is sure to turn the commonest drudgery into a source of pleasure, and make good deal more money into the bargain. See that the etable is Weil ven tilated, and not so dark that w hen the horse is taken oat into the daylight its eyes are hurt by the glare. Next to see ing that it is well and regularly fed an J watered, grooming is one of the best means of making a horse keep well and work well. J't'J ami J'arm. No Base Ball Came for Him.

"No." "What has become of your hired man ?" "My husband fired Lim whisky." "And yoor hired girl ?" "She fired herself kerosene." Confirmed bachelors are confirmed cowards. Sentiment is only a feather in the hat of action. The Country Schools. Tbe country school is a unit of great value in the national problem. "How shall we iacprove it?" In answer to this question may I sa1 : 1. Is cot tbe intensity of American business Lfe too much carried into the primary schools, drawing too heavily npon the nervous force of American child hood? 2. Wiil not better and mere lasting results be attained by "making Laste" more "slowly?" 3. May not fc-wcr boors in tLe school room, supplemented by out ioorand in dustrial teaching, Le better for the cLild physically as well as mentally, and as a preparation for active life? 4. Can not the eount-y child, while at tending the district school, become so well acquainted w ith, and made so to de light in, the pursuits of agriculture and horticulture, be led so gently and pleas antly into such an intimate acquaintance with, and of love of nature, as often to determine the trend of laterlife in the di rection of rural pursuits, or of scientific inquiry? 5. Will not all this uplift rural life to a Irlgher plane? Well, how ? Perhaps I cannot tell yon The plan w ill certainly require different teachers, to some extent, or at least teachers better informed in some direct ions. Possibly almost any bright girl of 17 tolerably well instructed in the osual common school studies, may satisfacto rily teach the rudiments of arithmetic, geography and grammar ; but to take a school of DO or 40 children of various grades of mental capacity, and train them into accurate observers, close thinkers and good .reasoners with reference to the common things of their lives and their sr-rroundings is quite a different matter, and needs more thoughtful and Letter-read teachers than many found in country schools. In no school ia needed teachers of a better g.ade of intellect than in the primary, and perhaps in no sjhool can better use be made of a broad scientific and literary culture. It would seem as if a part of the time usually devoted to arithmetic, grammar and fxf graphy, useful as these branches are, might be better employed. Why should a bright child require half a dozen years to master these branch es sutSciently for all usual practical uses? Suppose we take one of the branches at a time, and concentrate study upon it ?hnuld not one hour daily, under a com petent teat her, give an intelligent boy or girl of 12 or 14. as good a knowledge of either of these branches as is usually had in all the years spent in ti.e common school? If not, why not? Let there be no more than four in sum mer, and no more than three hours of in-door school work, and but one hoor at a time. Allow one of these main studies hour' swork ; then reading and reading to understand ; writing and as soon as pos sible writing to express ideas; drawing and spelling ; and sfier this oral lectures by the teacher on any topic, scientific, literary or historical, that maybe thought advisable. After that let all go out-of doors. Make each school an experiment station of agriculture and horticulture. Iet the teacher conduct expeditions to neighboring farms, to the fields and the woods. Let the children learn how crops are grown and why so grown ; what obstacles meet the farmer, the fruit-grower, and the gardener, and how they may be surmounted. Teach them of the soil, the plant Let each child conduct expe riments of his own. Make a part of the school grounds a garden. Ami writing I of Utopia? Would not the outcome of all this be a greater love or, and an intel ligent interest in rural life, that would produce a class of w ide-awake agricultu ralists, of thorough scientists, and of rev erent seekers after Christ? But it ia bard to get out of deeply-worn rota. Let us have no high pressure svstem of conducting our country schools. Let as remember that children Lave bodies that physical as well as mental strength is necessary to build up a strong nation. It us remember that brains crowded with undigested and indigestible facts of no special value in ordinary circumstan ces, may not be as useful organs as those trained to observe accurately, think clear ly and bring knowledge bo bear prompt ly on the necessities of actual life.

You know so much about everything, don't yoa?" "V, Willie, I know a great deal," re turned Mr. Eronson, complacently. "And it is a great ple.csuie to me, my son, to be able to impart to you the information that I have acquired." Willie looked as if he didn't exactly know what acquired and impart and in formation meant, but he took it for planted that his father understood what he was saying, and fur a minute he was silent. Tnen he asked, catching sight of the cattle grazing in the next field, "Pa p.l, w hat is cows?" "Cows," returned Mr. Eronson, after a moment of thought, "cows er are ani mals with horns that give milk and eat grass." "Do cows like grass better thati the do apple pie and custard?" asked Willie "Very much better," said Mr. Bron son. " Why do they, Tapa?" asked the boy. "Oh, because they were born that way." " Why do cows give milk, papa. Why can't they sell it ?" "No; Cows don't know anything about money, yoo know ; and even if they did, they wouldn't know where to keep it" Couldn't they keep it in their boms?" "Oh, my, no!" " What good are cows' horns anyhow? Do they make that funny 'moo' sound with their horns?" " What an idea! No, indeed. They do that w ith their throats." "Why don't they doit with their horns ?" "They can't" "Can't anybody blow horns?" "Oh, yes. Tin horns and er brass horn, but not cows' horns." "lapa, why don't cows have tin horns?" "Ob nonsense! Oh er because they are cows, I suppose."
