He did not utter-one syl!able;he waited courteously for her to siieak. Oh, pity her! she was not bad and wicked at heart, only fickle and unsta ble as the wind, and she loved him! There was but an instant's pause; then she drew off her cross and aid it in his hand. "Take your gift Vane," she said. "Io you remeuilier the promise you made when you gave it to me?

NO LONGER OBLIGED TO DIE, TO FIND OUT "WHAT'S KILLTXG US." One of the leading scientific publica tions states that many people are now using the microscope to discover the real cause of disease in the system, and to detect adulterations of food and medicines. This wonderful instrument has saved many a lire. A microscopical test shows, for instance, the presence of albumen, or the life of the blood, m certain arrangements of the kidneys, but medicine does not tell us how far advanced the derangement is, or whether It shall prove fatal. The microscope, however, gives ns this knowledge: Brlght's disease, which so many dread, was not fully known until the microscope revealed its char acteristics. It gieatlyaids the physi cian, skilled in its use. in determining bow far disease has advanced, and gives a ruiler Idea or the true struc ture of the kidney. A noted German scholar recently discovered that by the aid ot the mi croscope, the physician can tell if there is a tumor forming m we system, auu ir certain appearances are seen in the fluids pas?ed it is proof positive that the tumor is to be a malignant one. If any derangement of the kidneys is detected by the microscope, the phy sician looks for the development of almost any disease the system is heir to, and any indication of Bright's dis ease, whxh has do symptoms of its own and cannot be fully recognized except by the microscope, he looks upon with alarm. This d.sease lias existed for more than 2,000 years. It is only until re cently that the microscope has revealed to us its universal prevalence and fatal character. I'ersous who formerly died of what was called general debility, nervous breaKdown, dropsy, paralysis, heart disease, rheumatism, apoplexy, etc., are now known to have really died or kidney disease, because, had there beeu uo disorder of the kidneys, the chances are that the effects from which they died would never have existed. As the world becomes better ac quainted witk the importance of the kidneys m the human economy by the aid of the microscope, there is greater alarm spread through the communities concerning It. and this accounts for the erroneous belief that it is on the in crease. As yet neither homeopathist nor allo pathist is prepared with a cure for de ranged kidneys, but the world has long since recognized, and many medi cal gentlemen also recognize and pre scribe Warner's safe cure for these derangements, and admit that it is the only sicific for the common and ad vanced forms of kidney disorders. Formerly the true cause of death wa3 discovered only after death. To day the microscope shows us, in the water we pass, the dangerous condition of any organ in the body, thus enabling us to treat it promptly aud escape pre mature death. As the microscope in the bands of lavmen has revealed many diseases that the medical men were not aware of, so that preparation, like many other discoveries In medicine and science, was found out by laymen, out side U.e medical code; consequently it conies very hard for medical men to indorse and prescribe it. Neverthe less, Warner's safe cure continues to grow iu popularity and the evidences of its effectiveness are seen on every band. 6onle persona claim that Uio proprio tors should give the medical profession the formula of this remedy, it it is suck a "God-send to humanity," aud let the physicians and public judge whether or not it be so recognized. A e, however, do not blame them for not publishing the formula, even to get the recognition of the medical profes sion. The standing of the men who manufacture this great remedy is equal to that of the majority of physi cians, and the reason that some doctors give for not adopting and prescribing it viz: tbey do not Know what its in gredients are is absurd. Mr. Warner's statement thai many of the ingredients are expensiv e, and that the desire of the unscrupulous dealer or prescriber to realize a large profit from its manufacture by using cheap or injurious substances for those ingredients would jeopardize Its quality aud reputation; and that Warner's safe cannot be made in small quantities on account of the expensive apparatus necessary in compounding theie ingre dientsseems to us to be a reascuable and sufficient one. The universal testimony of our friends and neighbors, and the indisputable evidence that it, and it alone, has com plete mastery over all diseases of the kidneys, is sufficient explanation of its extraordinary reputation, and conclu sive proof that it is, perhaps, the most beneficent discovery known to scientific medicine since the microscope revealed to us the all-important nature of the organs it is designed to reach and benefit. The Etruscans, from a very remote epoch, possessed the arch and the vault. ine East used the arch long before it wasknowniu the West. There are chambers around the pyramids aud tempies at lnebes mat are rooted by stoue and brick arches of a semi-circular form.

The decorations were blue enameled brick, with figures and stars In warm yellow. This shows that m the time of Sargon the arch was well understood. There is au old say ing that the arch never sleeps and is constantly tending to destroy the buildiug, especially If a'dvl by earth quakes and the roots oi tires Still, the great advantage of covering large spaces with small stones or brick is so great that it was very extensively used by the Romans.

' KILLING BUSUE5 IN II ELU3. Au- fustis a favorable month, for killing bushes that interfere with the mower ar plougli. There Is generally more leisure to attend to the business than earlier or later in the season. They may be cut easily at this time, as the wood has not tecome thoroughly har dened. They will be less likely to sprout than if cut in the spring or very ate in the fall. "Willows are likely to send up sprouts if they are cut at any jeasonof the year. The best way to iestroy them, if they are tolerable arge, is to cut the bark Just below the iranch, and to strip it down to the rround, where It should be allowed to remain exposed to the sun until It becomes thoroughly dry. The bushes may then be cut close to the ground, khrfvn nver the roots and burned. sometimes the roots are so near the mrface that they can be readily grub oed out. At other times, however they penetrate the soil for so great a listance that it is very difficult to dig them out. The easiest as well as the most effectual way to destroy hazel bushes is to cut them off close to the surface of the ground and to devote land to the sheep pasturage. If no portion of the stems remain above ground they will throw up but few jprouU,and these may be easily cut jff with a scythe if they are not eaten iy sheep. A bush-scythe, as it is or-: iinarily employed. Is not a good im plement to use for cutting bushes. It ioes not cut them sufficiently close to :he ground. A short stump remains which throws up sprouts. A carpen ter's adze is an excellent implement tor cutting bushes. The handle should ifl ai lusted so as to shave the ground. It may be used to good advantage after he ground is trozen. Three Crops a Year. J. II.

On two acres of ground Mr. Alexander raised 1,400 watermelons. He was convenient to market for his corn and vegetables. At the first plow ing of the melons Tines ne uroppea Be tween every two hills two or tnree seeds of the Conch pea. When the melon crop was all cleared out he drop ped into the hills a couble of Conch peas. The vines of this pea are cured for hay in the south. Two wagons loads of hay were made. Some ot the melons weighed over fifty pounds. Af ter the pea vines were removed the land was seeded for the fourth time in Burt oats. The ground was a high, sandy loam, lying very level, If any nortk ern farmer can equal this, let him re port. How Potatoes Grow Most seeds grow by absorbing moisture, then swelling and putting forth a germ and roots to sustain it, . Hence tbey re quire some dampness in their seed bed. But the potato is not a seei. Its first nutriment is from the starch stored In the set and planted not essential to start ing potatees but it is even detrimental. If potatoes are covered with dry et th will If covered with that which 15 it Ji This is partly because dry earth v?Tn the same temperature of air is wanner. When a potato has been cut the sur face of the wound must dry over before the eyes will start. If plauted freshly cut in very wet ground potatoes often rot, especially if this is early while the soil is cold. But as soon as the germ Is above the surface, or even before, fine roots start from the base cf the eyes and catching hold of the fine soil soon do away with dependence on plant food stored in the set. If the soil is rich and in fine tilth the seed may 1 safely cut much smaller than where it is poor and cloddy. To get the soil In the finest possi ble condition Is referred to by a writer on farming subjects as more Important than any other matter connected with the growing of a crop. The soil Is the receptable from which all growing plants derive nourishment, and the deeper, finer and cleaner it is the bettet will the plant be able to make head way until maturity. A Western farmer who tried wheat bran as a manure for wheat, report? that the effect of an application ot oue ton of bran to the acre was equal to that obtained from the usual appli cation of a mixture of bone dust, guano, lime and wood-ashes, and the iifference in yield of the crops that eceived bran at compared with those lot so treated was very great. Sweet corn can be grown fit fot -able use several days earlier, by plan ing the seed in shallow boxes of earth, anq placing the boxes iu a warm place, tbout two weeks, before the time foi slanting outdoors, transplanting the corn to the open ground when planting .he other corn. The plants can be 'ransplanted as readily as cabbage lants. Save the small roots of horse-radish lor planting. They should be cut into nieces about three inches long, cutting ,he top end square across and the bot lom slanting in order to kuow which is :he top end, when planting.
