The Rev. Paul Blossom was dig- ging up the bed for late peas, under the pink clouds of the apple boughs, with his straw hat tilted on the top of his head, his linen coat fluttering in the wind and his brow beaded with perspiration. One little Blossom was following at his heels with a toy rake, smoothing down the lumps of fragrant earth; a second was building houses with clam shells, in the angle of the garden wall, while two others were engaged in the wholesale manufacture of mud pies, at the kitchen doorsteps—all four dirty, happy and demoralized. 99 know me? asked Mr. Blossom looked hard at Mar- | tha. He was a little near-sighted, a little absent-minded, and yet surely this sweet voiced, cherry-cheeked woman was none of the sisters of his flock! “No,” said Mr. Blossom; &] cant s—say—that—1I uo.” Miss Minkley smiled and colored a little. «Try and think back,” said she, sto the days of the Wesleyan Sem- inary, on Rose River, where we re- cited Roman history in the same class, and old Doctor Dodge heard us in rhetoric and English literature — old Doctor Dodge, who wore green spectacles and talked through his nose!” , Mr. Blossom dropped his spade. «J's Matty Minkley,” said he. “But, dear me, how you've changed!” «1 haven't grown any younger, I suppose,” said Martha, biting her lip. «But that’s a complaint that is com- mon to us all, Mr. Blossom.” “Yes, I know—I know!” admitted Paul, turning red to the roots of his hair, as he realized what an awkward mistake he had made. “Time doesn’t spare any of us.” And then, feeling that he had not bettered matters, he made haste to ask: “And how came you in Toppleton Village?” “My cousin's husband, Hiram Dodd, keeps the hotel,” said Martha. “I've come to see about a situation as housekeeper for a gentleman that Mrs. Dodd knows; for I am not above earning my own living, Mr. Blos- som.” She spoke with a little fullness in her throat, for she had somehow cherished Paul Blossom’s memory kindly since those boy and girl days, and now he never even asked her to “Come in!” “He might have introduced me to his wife, at least,” said Miss Minkley to herself, as she walked swiftly and lightly along the green path under the spreading maple trees. “That wouldn't have been too much for old acquaintance’s sake. But if he chooses to forget old times, I can only follow his lead. I wouldn't have thought it of him, though.” And the waving billows otf the dis- tant orchard swam in the disks ‘of two big tears, which momentarily ob- secured Miss Minkley's bright, black eyes. And Mr. Blossom mechanically dug the pea bed up, planted the “wrinkled marrowfats,” and went into the house, where his sister, a middle-aged _spinster, of a careworn aspect and a very uncertain temper, was engaged jn single combat with the children. «1 declare, Paul!” she croaked, catching sight of her brother, “them children are enough to try the pa- tience of Job. All washed clean this morning, and mended and darned— and now look at em!

But he offers me a very good home.” “Is it possible, Martha,” said the good clergyman, “that you can allow yourself to be swayed by considera- tions like this?” «One must do the best one can for oneself,” said Miss Minkley. ? “Well, well,” sighed Mr. Blossom, «it would be downright sinful to doubt that all is ordered for the best. It is the will of heaven. I always liked you, Martha, and I believe your life with me would have been both useful and pleasant. At least, no effort of mine should have been lack- ing to make it so.” Tarn not young,” admitted murely. “But first come first served, you know.” in : «1 should like occasionally to call and see you,” said the clergyman. “You will still be in my parish, you know.” : . : «Oh, certainly,” said Martha. “1 hope we shall always be the best of friends.” 7 And Mr. Blossom almost fancied that, for a.quarter of a second, the tender grasp of his hand was in some measure returned. . He walked dejectedly out. “I am too late, Mrs. Dodd,” he said, meeting the cheéry landlady, who was coming in with a pair of newly- brightened brass candlesticks. “Dear, dear, sir!” said Mrs. Dodd. “She has already promised herself to Mr. Telwright. Though how, to be sure, she could ever have made week—you ought to marry again.” his acquaintance—" “Yes,” said Mr. Blossom, with a sigh, “I suppose I ought.” And by some curious link of ideas he thought of Martha Minkley, stand- ing out there among the apple blooms, with the delicate pink color on her cheeks, and the old roguish sparkle in her black eyes. “Certainly you ought,” said Miss Blossom, thinking of Hester Hender- son, the village dressmaker, who had money in the bank, which ought fairly to compensate for her Gorgon-like severity of countenance. “Some one of mature age and ripened judg- ment—" “Of course! Rev. Paul. “Who will befit her position as a clergyman’s wife, and keep your house for you in a model manner, as it should be kept,” went on Miss Blos- som, “and govern your children with discretion and kindness.” “Yes, to be sure,” said Mr. Blossom. «I believe I know the very person to realize all these ideals.” “So do I,” said Miss Blossom, orac- ularly. “And not a hundred miles away, either!” “In this very village,” said Paul. «®mxactly,” nodded his delighted sis- ter. r “It is certainly my duty,” said Mr. Blossom. “And somehow, upon this day of all days, I feel moved to fulfill i.” And he put on his best suit, and went straightway to the Eagle Hotel, kept by Hiram Dodd and wife, Elvira. “Is Miss Minkley to be seen?” he asked, politely, of Mrs. Dodd, who came out from the kitchen with car- mine cheeks, and wiping her hands upon a snowy roller towel. “Oh, yes, I guess so!” said Mrs. Dodd, smiling and courtesying to the clergyman. “Squire Telwrigint has just been to see her; but I'm pretty sure that he has gone now. Mat— Matty, where are you? Oh, she’s in the blue parlor! Please to walk in, Mr. Blossom.” And the clergyman walked sol- emnly into the pretty blue-carpeted room, with its much-waxed mahogany chairs, gaudy rug, and stifily starched muslin curtains, where Martha Mink- ley sat knitting. “Miss Minkley,” said he, entering without unnecessary prelude on the subject which was at present absorb- ing his mind, “we have known each other from childhood.” “Yes,” said Martha. «and I believe you to be a devout Christian, a conscientious woman and a good housekeeper.” “I hope I am,” said Miss Martha, rather fluttered by this unusual ad- dress. “In my house,” said Mr. Blossom, abruptly, “I need all three. And I believe Providence has put it into my head and heart to appeal to you at this critical opportunity.” Miss Minkley neither blushed, giggled, nor burst into tears. She rocked back and forth, went compos- edly on with the red worsted sock that she was knitting, and lifted her black eyebrows just the least little trifle. of course!”. said the nus. has any use for abroad.

She's only go- ing to be housekeeper for him, at twenty dollars a month, and two ser- vants kept.

Martha! Matty! Come out here this minute! You haven’t understood a word that the Rev. Mr. Blossom has said to you. He has asked you to marry him!” The knitting fell from Miss Mink- ley’s hands; she turned very pale, and began to tremble. Was it then, true—the crushed-out, forgotten dream of her whole life? The reach- ing instinct of her hungering heart? Did some one really love her at last— even her? «31 didn’t comprehend!” said she. “I supposed that he wanted me to be his housekeeper. I believed that his wife was living.” «She’s been dead these four years,” interjected Mrs. Dodd. “And if ever there was a saint upon earth, Martha Minkley, and a man as any woman might be proud to marry, it is Mr. Paul Blossom.” Martha held out her hands. “Paul,” said she, forgetting all the years that had elapsed since they were boy and girl together at the Wesleyan Seminary, “do you care for me? Do you love me, Paul?” “I do,” he answered, solemnly. «Then I will be your wife,” said Martha, with a little sob. In this world nothing is altogether satisfactory. The Rev. Paul Blossom was happy; sO was Martha Minkley; so were the children, and, in a lesser degree, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Dodd. But Miss Jemima Blossom was not at all pleased, after having selected Miss Hester Henderson as her brother’s second wife. Neither was Miss Hen- derson herself, who had already set- tled on the color of her wedding hat. And Squire Telwright was compelled to advertise for a suitable housekeep- er, after all.

The poultry takes advantage of the feed to be found in the orchard and thrives in the midst of the shade. No artificial shade is equal to a good fruit bush.—Farmer’s Home Journal. FREE FROM WEEDS. Keep the sides of the garden free from weeds and tall grass. In these many of the insect pests spend a part of their existence. Then if they are kept down, there js not so much danger of the crops being assaulted by the pests.—Farmer’s Home Jour- Cie — BORDEAUX FOR BLIGHT. Blight and the beetles that attack melons or cucumbers can be subdued by spraying the under side of the leaves with, Bordeaux mixture every ten days, care being taken to remove all diseased leaves. Growers often ‘plant squash or pumpkins as a catch crop, as the beetles are said to prefer them to the melons or cucumbers. PERENNIAL SUNFLOWERS. The perennial sunflowers need but little recommendation, with their abundance of bright, golden yellow blossoms and clean foliage. To in- sure success, however, it is necessary that the ground to receive the plants is properly prepared beforehand. Thoroughly well trench. and loosen the soil, getting the best on the top; dig in good stable manure, as the roots of perennials strike deeply. Spring is the best time for dividing or planting, but avoid doing so when the ground is wet or sodden. Good results are often obtained by making large holes and then filling with a light, open compost containing a fair proportion of leaf mold and sharp sand. Given suitable conditions, most perennials will soon repay the original small outlay and extra trou- ble in planting correctly.—Indianap- olis News. FERTILIZING THE GARDEN. There is no better way to fertilize the garden than to haul fresh manure from the stable and spread over the surface during the winter. Contrary to the common belief, there is never a time when manure is so rich in plant food as the day it is made, and the sooner after that it can be got to the place where it is to be used, the more value it will add to the soil. It is almost impossible to put too much manure on a, garden. If put a foot thick on the surface it will leach so much more plant food into the soil, and by plowing time, the following spring, will be settled down until it can be plowed under to furnish humus for the betterment of the physical conditions of the soil. Wood ashes make an excellent fer- tilizer for the garden, but it should be saved and applied on top of the soil after it is plowed in the spring, as potash is one of the plant foods that may be washed too deeply into the soil to be reached by the roots of the garden plants, many of which are shallow rooted.—Epitomist. BEAUTIFUL GARDEN HEDGES. Hedges that are not boundary markers can be made of many beau- tiful flowering shrubs, some of which are seldom used for such a purpose. For example, says the Gardeners’ Magazine, nothing can exceed the loveliness of “syringa” hedges includ- ing a rosery, Or beds of roses and liliums, set either in grass or gravel. There are several excellent varieties of the “syringa,” or mock orange, Philadelphus rosaeflorus being one with immense semi-double flowers; P. Gordonianus, coming into beauty rather late and being especially prod- jgal of bloom, and P. parviflorus, claiming attention as an extra rapid and tall grower. Then the exquisite Philadelphus purpureo maculatus might be represented, whose large white blooms “have a mauve-rose blotch on each petal. Hedges of mixed varieties of one shrub are usually more successful than those in which different species of shrubs are combined, yet the latter have plenty of charm and should be planted in situations where uni- formity of height is not required. One might contain Philadelphus rosaeflorus, Escallonia macrantha, Viburnum Opulus, Cistus landanif- erus, laurustinus, Ribes sanguineum and Symphoricarpus radicans, the snowberry tree. All could be pruned into some sort of regularity, and this hedge in a small garden would cer- tainly serve to introduce beautiful subjects for which room could not be otherwise found.—Indianapolis News.
