Miss Martha, aad tLis fact otteu stung htr frj keenly.

Her htar w .s still glossy aud abundant, ber"e)es fctdl bright; but the plump nPHHfnd bloom of early girlhood bad fled forever. Occasionally she wondered if Tom would always low" her, and tortured herself with imagining it a sacriuoe for bim to marry ber. Would not a young g il suit bim better? 8 tie started like u guilty thing when Hannah's tap at the dour or call from tbe ball below in. terrupted these meditatioas. 8 Ue was provuked with herself that she thought ko much of departei pettiness and the ditleKinoe between her age aud Tom's. Yet she could not drive away her harassing doubts, nor wonld she try to set them at rest by spoaking to Tom. Bbe watsby and sensitive and so was he, and thr were both very proud. Eva-tfotcroRs found her new home a ery quiet but not unhappy one. Sho wai gentle and timid, and did not care for the sooiety of ghli of her own age. She liked nothing better than to lie in an easy-chair all day with a book or some embroidery in htr white pretty hands, which Mins Martha was never weary of admiring. The dead mother had indulged her oblld, and never taught her to make herself useful. There was no need for her to be active in tbe cot tage. At tbe outset Miss Martha had told her that she would be required to do nothing but study, Dannah being fully competent to do tbe 'entire work of the small establishment. "You mustedncateyoureclf to teach," Mrs. Marsh said, one morning, as she entered tbe cottage in ber abrupt way, and found Eva embroidering a cushion. "Yon can't live on Mies Martha all your life. Next fall we will try to get you into the district tchool at Dodd's Comer." Era shuddered and grewalittlo pale, while the work fell from her hand. 'I have brard that the children at Dodd's Corner were very rongh with tbe last master," she said, in her low, soft voice. "A woman might have more influence with 'em than a man," said Mrs. Marsh. "Anyhow, it won't hurt you to try it a spell. Miss Martha," as that lady camo in from the kitchen, where nhe bad been making "quaker" for olJ Mrs. Green's cold, "you mut get the doctor to give Kva some strengthening medioine. Yellow dock tea would put new life into her." Dr. Edgecourt called that afternoon for a moment, on his way to make a profebfiional visit and Mi' 8 Martha told bim what Mrs. Marsh had aid.

"We will crowd you ia some where." I do not care to co." she faid : end Tom thought ber manner rather crll and depressing. lie did not urge tho matter, for he was ens It wounded, and never asked ber a recond time to grant bim a favor, lie was not a demonstra tive lover, perhaps because Miss Martha never encouraged caresses. she did no. think it modest or womanly to do o, yet she often caught herself wishing t hit lorn would be more adecuonate. They bad been engage 1 for three Tears, but bad seen comparatively little of each other, owing to Tom a studies and poor patients of which there were many and they bad never grown fa miliar, as is the case with most lovers. Mies Mirtba watched the conplo drive awav. Tom bent to arruntre the buffalo more closely about bis companion, and said sometb n whioh made them both lartjih, and Ms Martha turned quickly from tbe window with a pain at ber h art. The giili-b face framed ia the fleecy wool of the black hood was so very lovely I Would be mark the differ ence, and recret bue took u,i her work and began to turn down a hem ; but she could not drive away the haunting thoughts which tormented ber. " Three years P she murmnred. " It is a lour; engagement ; and 1 have heard it said tii it ru'ii are uot patient waiters, I wonder if bo Las ever wished to be free again ?" The ride proved of ranch benefit to Eva, who wun brighter and gayer for days after. Heuing this, Tom took bor with hira frequently, never thinking that be was cau-ing his betrothed pain by so doing. lie came oftener than ever ti tho cottage, pliiyiug chei-s and oribbace with l.va at the center-tai)I li the evening, while Mia Martha sat with ber sewing, and wished she were Eva's age. "Do you think 1 will stand any chance of gutting the school at Dodd's Corner next fall, Dr. EJgecourt?" asked Eva one evening. " You surely don't think of applying for Hr'criedToui. " by, the cbildreu are little heathens. They throw ink bottles and spit balls at tbe teacher, and swear like trooper. Sio, no, we must not let vou go there. " I must work for myself," the girl said. " I cannot consent to remain do pendent on any ouo.- " Wait till next fall comes before yon begin to worry," Tom sid. " It ia only March now, aud something better may turn up lor us all in uie next in mouths " Eva, as was her custom, left tbe room as soon ai tbe game of chess was over, Tom always had a few minutes alone with his betrothed before leaving the cottuRe. "1 am so tired of boarding," he sail when, after some ncimportaut oonver salion, be roito to go. " I wish I bad homo," and he cilied. Now was Mii Miriha's cbaooe to say something te dirand cheeiful; but tbe words refused to form themselves on her Jipj, bhe was very shy, aud lately she aud Tom bad seemed to be drifting very far apart. Tom looked at ber a moment as if ex peotingher to spetk; but as she did not do so, be turned almost angrily from her, a dark red flush of wounded pride dyeing his frank, fair fiice. He wished be bad not uttered that long'ng lor a home, Oh, I fornrot to toll you," be said. as he reached the hall door, " that my brother Arnold is ooming to Itoseville to-morrow. He has some affection of the head and wants to put himself un der my care for a month or two. He will leave his Jaw business entirely in his partner's bands. Poor Arnold I He has other than physical troubles I There's an old saying that women are at tbe bottom of all mischief, and men are such fools sometimes I Good-night, Martha;" and the hall door closed loudly. For some minutes Miss Martha stood where he had left her, one hand bear ing rather heavily on tbe small hall table. Could he only have known what stress be laid upon bis careless words 1 She mechanically repeated ovor and over tbe last sentence he had uttered, and remembered the bitterness of his tone. Then sho walked slowly into the small parlor again, and dropped on ber knees by an easy-chair, burying ber face in the soft cushions. I am no longer young." she said, in a hoarse voice. " lie sees his mistake, now that Eva is here to point out a comparison. And yet bow can I give him up I liow can 1 offer him bisfiee- dom? Conld 1 live ou without the hope that I held so clo?e to my heart for three years ? But I must decide. Not now. I will wait, just alittle while, to be sure he bas ceased to love me." Eva noticed that MisB Martha was very pale and distrcit tbe following day, and was not looking ber best wbeu Arnold Edgecourt came with Tom to call. She bad never reen this brother before, but be was so like Tom in every way that she liked him at once. He was, however, more a man of the world than Tom, and while Tom's face wore a look of frank good nature, Arnold's was clouded by an expression of melancholy and discontent. This Miss Martha as cribed to those secret troubles of which Tom bad spoken, and she wondered if some woman had jil ed the handsome lawyer. Several weeks passed by, and Miss Martha was no loueer her former bright, cheerful eelf. She did not know what it was to be without that stwup pain at heart, and the estrangement between herself and Tom seemed to crow greater every day. He withdrew more and more into himself, and the made no effort to restore the pleasant re.atious between them. Hue watched him closely, end saw that be teemeJ annoyed aud distressed at Arnold's de cided attentions to Eva. Once she beard bim remonstrate with bis brother, but Eva s name was the only word she caught distinctly. She thought Tom jealous, and atraid tbit tbe girl's heart wonld be won from himself. " It mut-t come," Miss Martha would murmur to herself. i must otter bim his freedom. Why cannot I be brave and do it at once ? He loves Eva, but he is not froa to win her, and Arnold's attentions pain nud trouble him. But how can 1 give him up ? I will wait just a little longer." Thus from day to day she put off the evil hour in which she was to eee ber dearest hopes crumble to deal ashes. She shuddered when she thought of spending the rest of her life without Tom's love. One evening the two young men came by invitation to the cottage to supper. Miss Martha sent them into the garden to smoke, while she, with Eva's assist ance, was busy la ins the table with tbe best damask and china. Presently, ehe went into the parlor to get from the eld cabinet whicti stood between tbe wiudows some silver spoons which bad belonged to her grandmother. The shutters were closed, but the windows wore open, and the low murmur ol voices came to her ears. She knew the brothers were j ast outside on the rustic. bench, and she was about to close the cabinet and speak to them when she heard Tom s voice uttering words which seemed to fall on her heart like drops of molten lead. "It is a great mistake for a man to eugage himself to a woman older than himself. He is sure to repent soon or lute. I was a fool, and now that I love Eva with all my heart, as I have con fessed to you, I wish the other was in Gniuea. And what am I to do? My honor binds me to her ooufound it all I" Mies Martha did not wait to bear Arnold's auswtr. She walked slowly and f altering ly from the room, and wen upstairs to tbe spare chamber, where bbe locked herself in. The young men wondered why sup per was so late, but just as their pa tienoe was entirely exhausted, Evaoame to call them, aad then, went in to nnd Miss Martha already seated at the head of the small table laid for four. She made no excuse for delay, aud the sup per was so excellent that the young men forgot all about tueir vexation. The evening passed very quietly, Miss Martha eviJently making au t -flort to be entertaining; and seeing this, Tom and Arnold left, very early, the latter, as Mim Martha uo'iced, having hardly spoken to Eva since supper. She thought this wan out of respect for his brother's fei lings, whioh had so lately been re vealed to bim. Th i next day Tom was surprised ia bis omce by tbe appearance of old 11 an nah, who quietly laid a letter on bi dek and went out again. The young doctor's face grew verv white as he read what Miss Martha had written. Without explanation or ex ouse, bbe requ .sted that their engage meat might be atau end: and said tba1 as it would be better that they should hot meet for a while at leant, she was going to au aunt's in another town, to stay several months. Eva would re main at the cottape with old Hannah. lor some time Tom sat gazing at the letter, as if turned to stone. Then he touched a lighted match to it, and watched it burn awsy to ashes. " 1 hat is over," be satd aloud. "I have boon expecting it. I have seen it in her face, and yet I bad not the cour age to ask her about it." It was a sultry Jaly day, the railroad ourney dusty and fatiguing, and Miss Martha was very glad to step one of the cars at Roseville. She walked slowly up the dusty rond leading to her cot tage. It was nearly three months since she had left borne, and during that time she had neither written nor received a single letter. She bad not given Eva her address, and no one knew where she had gone. She had wuh'ed to cut her self loose from the past, hoping to for get it, but she had not forgotten, and her heart had not lost its dull pain. Recollections of Tom stun? her as she saw the familiar streets and stores. Per haps he and Eva were married. "Yon don t mean to say thats yon, Miss Martha," cried a familiar voice, and Mits Martha paused beneath the shade of a spreading elm as Mrs. Marsh came hurrying toward her. Well, you've oome too late. Love laughs at look- smiths, you know. It's all ever Eva's gone off with him, and they're married by this time, I haven't a doubt. Miss Martha staggered back and put her band over her eyes. The shook it was to her to hear of Tom's marriage showed her, to her mortification, that all hope had not been crashed from her heart, as bhe had thought. I I exi ected it, she stammered. 'Well, it's more than any one else did. He went off soon after you left, aud no one thought to see him again. Hut back be came again yesterday and eloped with Eva late last evening. Ob, t was wicked; it was scandalous; aud the whole story is all over town. I wonder now if yoa know about Miss Somerbj?" "No," said Miss Martha, white to the lips. "Well, it peems as if be was engaged to thisMus Somerby, a rich old maid. She is mad enough at being jilted. Somebody telegraphed to ber father, and he was here this morning to ascer tain the facts of the case." What! Tom engaged?'' oried Martha, in amazement. Who said anything about Tom? You must be wandering in your mind. It is Arnold Eigejourt 1 am talking about." Without another word, without tbe slightest excuse, Miss Martha broke awav f iom tbe band of the friendly ros sip, and almost ran down the street When nearly at ber own gate she rushed blindly against somebody, and looking up with a humed exouse, saw Tom. "Martha," he gasped.f orgetting for the moment in his excitement the gulf be tween them. "You have heard it all; I see it in your face. Come right n; you look really ill. I did not know yoa cared so muoh for Eva. But the scan dal will die out, and I know Arnold will be good to her. He tent me a telegram saying they were married at Brierly early this morning. He was to marry Miss Somerby next month, but be never loved her; be was tempted by her enormous wealth. By this time they had reached the cottage and gone into the little dark ened parlor, where the shutters had been carefully closed by old Hannah to keep out dust and flies. Tom," taid Miss Martha, laying ber band on his sleeve; "can you ever for give me ? I see everything very plainly now. It whs not you 1 heard say a man was a fool to engage himself to a woman old r than himself. Your voice and Arnold's are so much alike, and I did not kuow of bis engagement." Then she told bim all she bad heard when ehe had gone to the old cabin for the ppoons the evening of the supper. "Martha," paid Tom, in bis n anly way, " 1 never loved any woman but you. I did not know you were oiler than I, for you never spoke of your ago, and it would have made no difference to me anyhow. I thought of Eva only a a child, and knowing of bis engage ment, of whioh be bad forbidden me to speak, it distressed me to see his atten tions to ber, for I saw tbnt fho was learning to love bim. That evening in the garden I gave him a long lecture, and pointed out to him the hurm be was doing the girl. He promised to see her no more; but though he went home u few days later, he corresponded with her and ended by eloping with her yester day evening. I did not imagine for an instant that you thought me in love with Lva, Wo both laboiel under a mis lake, Martha. 1 noticed your growing coldness, and thought v-ju were booom ing weary of your engagement to a poor village doctor. You did not seem to care for lovemaking or caresses, anil I could not, of course, wish to foroe my ullection upon you." " I was wrong, Tom, for I do love you dearly," and then, as be took ber in his arms and pressed her to bis heart, kiss ing repeatedly the stfft cheek ou which ihere was now no lack of color, tLe added softly, "and our engagement need not be of longer duration, Tom. You hesitated to marry me whiti I had so little and you nothing ; but vou will uot hesitate now that 1 am rich Yes" as he glanced at ber black atess "my aunt is dead, and she left me forty thou sand dollars. I have suffered enough f jr my mistake, and what is miue ia youis, dear Tom.'' And Tom's tender kiss gave cheerful assent to all she said. Arctic Explora Ion. Arctio exploration is not a new thing. It begina with Sebastian Cabot, who discovered Newfoundland and landed at Labrador. Henry Hudaou found and gave his name to the great bay Which is one of the most striking features of British America There a mutinous crew put him in an open boat with a few faithful adherents and left him to his fate. Vitus BehriDg, the Danish explorer, who found that Kamschatka did not connect with Japan, succeeded one hundred years ago in pushing his ship through the straits that bears his name ; but his vessel was wrecked, and he died on a desolate island. Captain Cook reached these straits thirtv-three years afterward, but was forced bick by the ice to die on the Sandwich Islands. Boss and Parry made a few discoveries, but at aterrible expense of suffering and ri6k of life. Tbe story of Sir John Franklin is a familiar household tale how he set out in the Erebus and the Terror with 138 picked men, and all perished; and eight expeditions wtre sent out to find and relieve him at great cost, but no returns. The Qrinnell ex pedition, sent out by Henry Orinnell and George Peabody in 1853, under tbe heroic Eaue, was more fortunate than its predecessors, and brought back tbe ac counts of the Open Polar sea which have stimulated the ambition and curi osity of hundreds of navigators since. But, though Kane lived to return, he died of the effects of the exposure. Sir Hugh Willonghby and his crew starved to death, and Barentz, the Dutch ex plorer, perished in the same way. These are only a small fraction of the human sacrifice to that Arctio idol whose icy altars are covered with tbe debris of wrecked ships and the bhached bones of brave and devoted men, sent up into the jaws of destruction to disover noth ing. Moisture and Peach Raising. Observations in this and foreign coun tries show that peach trees attain their largest size, live the greatest number of years, are freest from disease, aud pro duce tbe largest amount of fruit when planted on laud lying qai'e neir a body of water. The most favorable position for a peaoh orchard is lyin east of the water, as the prevailing winds favor the spread of moisture. What is known as the Dataware peninsula, whioh com prises the State of Delaware and the eastern portion of Maryland and Yir ginia, constitutes the finest peach-grow ing region in this country. It has water on two sides of it, and though the ground is often dry the air very seldom is. The trees planted there attain healthy growth, live many years and are generally productive, l'eacii growing has been popular on this peninsula for a period of over 200 years. Most of the islands on the Atlantic cost that have good soil produce fine reaches. Michi gan is a great peach-growing isiaie, not withstanding its high, lititude. It is neaily surrounded by watsr and con tains a vory large number of lakes, riv ers and small streams. Good p ache3 are raised on both shores of the lower great lakes. The banks of the Ohio river are very favorable for peach-raising. Paaehes can be raised in moit parts of the country that lie south of the forty-teoond degree ncrtb latitude, while the soil contains most of its origi nal fertility, but tbe trees will not generally remaia healthy or be produc tive after the soil becomes impover ished, if the climate is quite dry. The peach contains a Jar. 'ft proportion of mohture than any of the large fruits Chicagn Timet. Gardens ou the Boofe. A suggestion made by us long ago has been adopted in the plan for the elegant co-operative apartment house which is to be erected this season at the northwest corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-second street by eight asso ciates, among them being Mr. Fletcher Harper and other well known gentle men. A summer garden is to be erected on the roof, which is to bo tiled and provided with a fountain to sprinkle the tiles and keep them cool in the wureH weather. The building is to be of ih first class, as may be inferred from its cost, SH5O.O0O. Its dimensions arc to be seventy-six by ninety-five ft;et,and it will be nine stories high. The extent of its roof will be suiliaient for a lavga cardon. and its elevation will mako it delightful as au observatory, wbilo the growth of leavos and Dowers will maRe it a charming resort at all times for the occunants of the Btruoture. I here is no reason why the roofs of New York should remain barrou and the people whom they shelter be without the com fort of a spot where tney can an any time look upon the growth and bloom of plants aud fljwera. 2ftw York .Vail and Express. .

A Lapland Snowstorm. In one of bis journeys in a sleigh drawn by a reindeer. Paul dm Ghaillu was overtaken by a .Laplana snowstorm. His route carried him across a rougn. mountainous country, where the wind blew with the force of a hurricane and the mercury approached zero. He says: "The fine snow flew so thickly that at times the atmosphere became almost dark. I oould not even see my own animal. The fine snow dust was getting through the open spaces of the mask into my eyes.
