Then carefully Cutting the envelOpe—for, tearing a letter open was not ono of Miss Barclay's habits—she perused the contents, which, after some preliminaries, ran as follows And' now, Hester, I want yon to' do me a favor. I hope it will not inconvenience yqu ; hut I am very anxious to have my laughter Abby leave home for awhile, and I should be so pleaied to have her to come to you. She is deep"' in a love affair with a man I hate. His name is Francis Chol: moudly. I'd rather have her marry an y other decent man on earth. Ido not,,,knart why I hate him so, except that he isa puppy. He's not so pOoithat he could not take gooc care of a wife, and he is rather handsome in his nasty foppish way.

' -Aid then the letfer wandered away again into matters that do not concern' this story, and ended iu the sisaturd—Elizabeth Marsh. " Poor Lizzie ! she always ha 1 such strong whims," said Miss - Barclay, going on with tne folds of the purple robe of thin blonde. figure traced upon her baCkground. "One .of them was to marry Caleb Marsh. I don't believe) that' has turned out quite as well as it might.. However, I'at fond of Lizzie, and I shouldn't mind baring • Abby 'here. I'll write write a once and ask her. And—by the way-flt incite , Brother Richard's boy to come down and ,bring a friend with hint. Every one is glad, of a week'S . country visit in summer. They'll both fall in love with the girl in thislohesomo place; and there's no such cure for one love'affair as another." Miss Earclay was a lady of prompt and decisive . action.

"Brother Isaac n . .al myself will be all the better for having the young po — ple about us," said Miss Barclay ; but cook, an old servant, who prided herself ou being "free spoken," was of opinion that "peace and quietness would be broke tip by all sorts of racket, and that she'd, no.',doubt they'd, be obliged to buy 'butter." • • , However, as cook afterwards remarked, she was well aware that was, not- her look out. And. on 'Saturday the stage paused at the door, and from its top ehtinlici-eil down two youths ; one big and rough-headed,' the other small and sleek, but both armed •with portmanteaus, gun-cases and ftshinglods exactly resembling each other.

But by this time the your lady was get ting out. She was a • pretty girl, with a 'splendid head of black hair, which, when Miss Barclay had seen hei-last, she, bad worn in two long braids - down her back. Now she was won. dertully grown—no longer alittle girl, but young lady, with a coiffure of puffs 'and crimps that was a mystery. to prim Miss Barclay. A coquettish hat was set very much on one side of her head, and instead of the sullen scowl Hiss Barclay had 'expect ed she greeted the lady with the most beaming smiles . "Dear Cousin Barclay," she ex c laimed, "how good of you tq ask me to this lovely f)lace I . I adore thel country, and I am so pleased to see you again. How sweet you look I I must kiss you. I just feel that I Pm going to be Perfectly happy all the time I'm here." J 7 "Is she acting or does t; tshe • mean it ?" asked the - spinster -to herself. " It's a com fort to,find her so pleasan4 anyhow." But she -answered , heartily' andi merrily, and sending Sarah to show bar young cousin the . way to her room, - that she might refresh herself after-her journey, turned her atten tions to the youths, with whom she had as yet only shaken ; hands: "I am so gbia, you came at once, Fred," sbe said, "and so pleased that yon brought Mr.—" • " Mr. Oakley," said Fred, "My college chum—Frank Oakley.

A STRANGE STORY. '; "Assassination by silence" is the Wei! 'Gallicism. It was the, verdict of the medi leal men and of society in the case of a French woman recently'deceased ; and a coroner's jury . would probably have rendered the twee verdict if the , case had not been- kept fromithe coroner. Noble by birth she was, and very rich; but she was hopelessly plain, ugly, of feature and hurap.backed. Her husband, a duke, married her for her money, and bated her for her ugliness. A fortnight after her wedding her 'martyrdom began, but not as other conjugal martyrdoms have done. The duke lavished attentions on her —in public be was affectionate—before the servants ; it was " darling" and "beloved," and "my little cat"—when any one was present, but in- private changed, and only one old nurse was in the secret. He pre. tended to be jealous of-her, and so played ' the . Othello. He had the hinges of all the doors so carefully-oiled that they could ,be opened without a creak, the domestics were 'trained to move about noiselessly, snare* were set in- the vast gardens of their botai so that never the chirp of a Sparrow was heard. The poor woman was forced to live in the midst of silence, and when they went to gether into so. ciety he scowled so fearfully that little by little people ceased to make the effort. And then after they bad returned, and she had gone to bed, he 'would enter with list shoes. `on his feet, so as not to announce his coin.' ing, and would simulate a scene of jealousy. That is to say, he would pace up and down like one'in a fury who is about to Burst into reproaches ; words of anger would seem I on the point of issuing from his month; then he would stop by the bedside and raise . his hand in threat, but he never struck, he never • spoke, and, resuming his 'walk, would go through the same' scene over and over again until, overcome by fatigue and horror, the duchess swooned. Every night for ten years his victim watched for , menaces which he seemed about to proffer; but to whfch he never gave vent. - The dciptors were sum• moned at last, but the utmost they could say was that they were in the presence of some horrible mystery which could not be fathom. ed without killing the husband. And when the poor woman died and the old nurse told her.story, they rendered the verdict above recorded. Thiaie MUTILATED , COIN • A knelt, 41 - redge on. W6u Conan. gages &igniter Cala. "Silver coins of the denominations r of quarter4ollars and half-dollars are requi t ed to be made of a certain weight and fineness, and are lawful tender in payment of debts to the amount of $lO, and are to be received by the Treasury in exchange for lawful money in sums of $2O or any:. multiple thereof. In the case of gold coins 'the law is that when reduced in weight below the standard they are good tender at a propor tional value. We find no such provision made for silver coins. If such a coin has had an approcks' ble amount,of silver removed from it we cannot say that it remains a good coin for its original value, or even . for pro. portionate value. If, then, the i hole is plugged with base metal, or with any sub stance other than. Silver, this act is an act of counterfeiting: beciurse it is making some. thing n appear t 4 be rt• good coin for its ap. parent value, which was not so before. ;We are, therefore, of opinion that the ruling and conviction were proper in respe'd to .those coins which had been drilled and after -I,ard filled up. On the other hand, wo di) not consider it a 4:riminal act, whatever the intention may have been, to add base metal to good coin, and we see no ground for hold ing that a hole punched through a coin with a sharpinstrnment, crowding the silver into a dig:loly different shape, but leaving it all in the coin, has any effect to render it less valuable or less lawfql tender than before. The, statutes are less silent upon this exact question, but wo think it clear that "a silver coin duly ironed trim the mint remains of full value so long as it retains all (he ap pearance of a coin, and does, besides,- con tain all its original weight and fineness. This being ho, we i t regard the addition of something to it as a • act of coun terfeiting. Passing such a . coin works no injury to the person to whom it- is passed." MsDccAL SCIEKcs.

The Elgin district of lowa 'is admirably adapted%) dairying, and will speedily, come to the front as the leading dairy section of the State. Unsalted butter is now gathered at the farms by wagons, and the farmer re. eeives twenty cents per pound, fully double as much- as he received three or . four years ago; while the creamery , company here is now paying eighteen cents per inch for- the cretin, an inch of cream being the average product, of , twenty-flve pounds', of milk. lowa better sells readily in the Chicago and New Yorkmarkets, and 'the manufacturers =not supply all who are calling upon them for their butter, which has in a few 'years come to the front on account of the excellent quality of the make. The dissemination of dairy information has been of -incalculable benefit to the farmers of lowa and *hi nesota, especially in the sparsely settled districts. They have acted as the advance guards of the great army. Eventually the Northwest erill be the dairy ,section of the Union, because of the cheapness of land and feed, and the older States will of necessity be annpelled to turn their attention to some other pursuit. Already Wisconsin takes high rank as the producer of the beat cheese, while Elgin and lowa excel all others In the production of the best butter made any where: And , the railroad companies, notably the Illinois Central; the Chicago and North western, and the Chicago, irdwaukee and 84 Paul, which traverse thia dairy belt, are valuable adjuncts to the business, as bj their refrigerator cars , they make it possible for the 'manufacturers pf butter and cheese in these prairie States, 1;00 miles from.

' The maid 'and man met for the first time during a Plinio of archers, and it is averred that within' three hours after their presentation,. to each _other they, were engaged to be married. , Tho ranchero, an extremely handsome 'iionih, bought a pair of ponies for his sweetheart ,that afternoon, and, in order to secure 6 boat to suit him, purchased one outright, that the girl might enjoy a sail on the lake.

A Bepresentsitive of the .Noneer' -Prue was *WAY introokmed to a couple of gen tlemen at' the Merchant's Hotel both of whom were interested in stock raising, the one in Montana, the Other , in Texas. The Texan was on his way. to Montana with a view to deciding for hiniselfthe advantages that the latter offered over Texas for stock raising. The Montana man is the junior member of a firm, which consiribl'of himself and brother, that are considered among the' heaviest stock men in the Territory. They werelhiost the piOneere in stock raising in the Territory of ,'Monhana, having coo. minced about sixteen years: ago. Previous to this - they were engaged in freighting froni St. Joseph, Mo., to Denver, CoL, mid after ward when the railroad was completed to that point, from Denver and, Salt Lake to Helena, Montana Tenitory,which was then coming into prominence mita mining camp. These long trips were nude with mules and cattle. Sixteen years ago the. last trip of the season was made rather later than usual, end, owing to delays' on the'rcwid, it became necessary to winter in Montana.. With great misgivings as to the result, the mules and cattle were turned loose to find 'what sub sistence they could for themselves_ through the winter months. Spring' arrived, when what was their surprise to find that the ra de turned up in Ina'gniticenti condition, with a sleek, well-fed look that showed they had had no trouble in providing for themselves. ' 'lt should be noticed- also that the mows were reported that year - to be deeper than . usual. This, in conitmetion with the fact that all the deer and elk they killed were found in remarkably good condition, led the . brothers to the conclusion that there was no' better country In the amid so well' adapted to purposes of 'stock 'raising. Returning' to Denver, therefore, they, sold their steers and mules and bought stock cattle, 'which they drove into Morita:Ur, and from that date until now they have been among the largest stock men in The Territory. From cattle they Went into sheep and dm-raising of horses, both of which latter are more profitable than cattle.' It was stated that sheep were every year becoming more numerous in the Terr itory. Sheep require,more care` and atten. tion than cattle and give correspondingly larger results. It is also a business that re quires less capital than it does to engado in the raising of cattle. ,The expense of herd ing and sharing, including herder's pay and board for one year, for a herd of 2,000 is about $2,000. The yield of wool will aver. age $1 50 per head, or a total of $3,000. The Mere* of lanibs can be calculated at twenty-five per cent of the original number of the herd, and, as at the end of the ,ymr they are of equal value to a full grown sheep, their value would be $l,OOO. The gain, therefore, is almost one' hundred per cent, with, ordinary attention. It is estims. ted that there are now about two hundred thousand sheep in the eastern part of Mon. Lana, and the number will increiso as new people are constantlY going into the, business. In response to an inquiry as to; the sheep freezingyt was stated ' that such a' thing was unknown. It is truo there have been losses, but in all cases death has -been caused by suffocation, on account of the mu having been too small, so that the sheep have crowded together; one oii top of the other. This causes them-to sweat, and then when they are "turned Out inn) the cold air in the winning they take cold and die.— Paid POneer-Prea. Among the strange scenes found in New York, says the Metropolitan scribe of the Troy Times, is the synagogue of the. prtho do: Jews, who wear their hats during ser vice. This is in obedience to the Mosaic prohibition " They shall not inake baldness on their belts?' The most 'remarkable in. stance of going bareheaded, however, .of which I have ever read is afforded by the famous Dr. Johnson, the lexicographer. It is stated that very late in life ho visited his native town, and while there was missed by his associates - . They subsequently learned that his absence was occasioned by his stand. lug bareheaded in the market place for ao hour to atone for an act of nnfilial conduct to his father fifty-years previous. : Thilmay be explained by the' fact that penance is al ways done with the uncovered head, and the lexicographer had a great deal of the ascetic in his nature. Hats enter :widely into the small talk of common life. A hat is a "cady " or a tile ;", to bet a new bat is a. popular style of wager, and the evressiou, I'll take your hat," indicates getting a joke in the speaker's favor. ." What a shocking bad hat " was once a frequent witticism of low comedy. The bat Ida common indicator of a man's feelings. Should he be ins state of excitement from stimulus, he id said to have' " a brick in his hat," while on the other hand s weed surrounding the . latter suggests that the bearer is supposed to be in a • sorrowful I frame. The hat is thus the signboard of that, ridicnlous custom falsely called " mourning." ; Hats are not worn in Japan. A society man indeed in that enlightened country would' not soil his head with such a covering. AU the protections he asks is afforded by an um trella. Hats were ones used in tile military service, and Napoleon would not look natural without his clumsy chapeau, but good sense Las now substituted the cap.
