i CHAPTER VX—fCoirrnruiD.I
It was October before the family
bade a formal removal to town. One
of the brothers, sometimes both, spent
two of three days a week there In Sep
tember;' and, since the uncertain sun
shine am} cold rains of autumn ion
kilned the ladies, for the most part, to
the house, they were ready to second
the proposition to seek their winter
quarters. Edward Withers was regu
larly installed as one of his brother's
household, and under his auspices city
life also put on a new face for Con
stance. He had a box at the opera, and
Hlnathan was foremost to suggest that
Constance should, accompany him
thither.
."That is, when you ,are not engaged
to escort single ladies,” added the se
nior. with a dry smile.
“Which will not happen often ,‘f I
ean have my sister’s company Instead,”
replied the other, cordially. “But can
not we make up a family party Of four
for to-morrow night? I can promise
you a treat”
“Musical treats, when they are op
eratic, are thrown away upon me,” was
the answer. “But I am anxious that
Constance shall keep up her practic
ing, and, to this end, desire her to have
every opportunity of improving her
ta8te.and style. You and she can give
home concerts of the latest gems in
this line for Harriet's benefit and
mine.”
Harriet applauded the idea to the
echo, and was careful that he should
not regret the young people’s absence
on the. evenings they spent ubroad,
playing chess with him for a couple of
hours, and then reading aloud mone
tary Or political articles selected by
hlteseif until he dropped into a doze.
They were left thus to themselves more
aqd more as the season advanced. In
vitations to parties, concerts and din
ners rained in upon Mrs. and the1
Messrs. Withers, and to most of these
.Constance went, attended by Edward
oidy. Mr. Withers had never been so
cial fifcm inclination, and he was- only
too glad to delegate his duties in this
llne to his wife,-now that the protec
tion of his brother rendered his attend
ance, unnecessary.
, Constance did not confess in words
to nefaelf how greatly her pleasure was
augmented hy the exchange of escorts.
It vyts natural that a man of her hus
band's age and disposition should pre
fer his own fireside to dancing and
«nMU‘ talk, and a wearisome feint*.of,
.hearkening to harmonies that were un
intelligible and without sweetness to
hljriti.jShe enjoyed gay scenes with an
4as% conscience that she did not see
bin grave visage at every turn of the
nr«tz br promenade and was not haunt
ed by the'thought of her selfishness in
having dragged him from his beloved
fettrasettt How much this feeling of
rejis^'wall intensified by the circum
stance that
that her willing cavalier was the
most delightful, talker, one of the best
dancers, and assuredly the most grace
fnlly attentive to his fair Charge in the
cordon of beaux who frequented the
fashionable resorts Just named, did
wet enter into her complacent calcula
tions. She was on excellent terms with
herself and all about her at,this June
dure,. The acquaintances who had"
carped at her reserve and want of ani
mation In the few assemblies at which
j'oipo had appeared as a bride candidly
'avowed that nothing could he more

January "Constance should be thank
ful to us all her days for opposing her
absurd transendentallsm about conge
niality and mutual attraction and the
like puerile nonsense. What a wreck
she would have made of her happiness
had she been left to pursue the course
dictated by her own caprices! I hope,
Margaret, that we shall not have to
combat the like errors In our daugh
ters when they grow up."
Constance bad a fund of strong
common sense In spite of her crudely
extravagant theories upon certain sub
jects," rejoined Mrs. Romalne. "Thanks
to It, and, as you Justly observe, to
our counsels, she has married better
than any other young woman I know.
Yes, I can ask no more enviable lot for
our girls than one like hers.”
According to these Irrefragable au
thorities, then, our heroine had steered
clear of the rock upon which so Inany
of her age and sex have split; kept out
of the current that would have strand
ed her, high and forlorn, upon the bar
ren headlands of celibacy; had, virtu
ously eschewing "crude" Instinct, and
heart promptings, and natural laws (fit
only, In Mrs. Romalne’s creed, for the
guidance of beastB, and birds, and
other Irrational things), rendered Just
and graceful obedience to the equitable
principle prescribed and practiced l«y

These burning and shining beacons
cease not, night nor day, to *arn off
the Impetuous young from the rigors
and desolation of Scylla, and cast such
illusive glare upon Charybdla as makes
its seething rapids seem a Pacific of
delicious calm.
CHAPTER VTT
PON as smooth a
current were Con
stance Withers’
conscience and pru
dence rocked to
sleep during the
early months of
that winter. Win
ter! Never had
summer been so re
plete with light
ana warmtn. There
la a divine delight in the alow sweep
of the outer circles of the maelstrom;
the half consciousness of the awaken
ing heart; like that of the babe who.
aroused from slumber by his mother’s
voice, smiles recognition of the dear
music before his eyes are unsealed by
Jfeer kisses, or his head is nestled upon
her bosom.
That to every human heart such
awakening comes, sooner or later, I
hold and believe for certain. Deserts
of salt and bitterness there are In the
spiritual as well as in the material
world; but there was a time when the
Creator, whose name is Love, pro
nounced them "very good," when as
yet the flood, and the rain of Are and
brimstone had not made havoc of all
their pleasant things, nor the soft soil
been hardened Into flint and grave] by
dearth and heat. And, to that garden
of the Lord's planting there came a day
—when or of. what duration He knows,
and penhattee Hie alone-r-wheh the
south - wind- blew softly, and Ail the
spioee thereof flowed out—spikenard
and safTron, calamus and cinnamon,
with Jill trees of, frakihc*nseH myrrh
and aloes,, Itmay, .have been-but for
one glad hour—one moment of bewil
dering bliss, that the heart thus visited
was transformed into a fountain of
gardens, a well of living waters and
streams from Lebanon. The next may
have witnessed the rush of tbe deluge
or the bursting of the pitchy cloud;
and behold! In place of Eden, a lair
of wild beasts, a house full of doleful
creatures, meet for the dwelling of! owls
and the dance of satyrs. 1
Other visions than these images of
woe and terror abode with Constance;
formless fancies, fair as vague; spe
cious reveries In which *he lived
through coming years as she'was do
ing now, surrounded by the lame out
ward comforts; her steps guarded by
the same friend, whose mere presence
meant contentment; with whom the
interchange of thought and fooling left
nothing to bo deetred from human sym
pathy. It was a severe ’shock * that
showed her the precipice upon the
flowery verge of which she lay dream
ing.
The brothers "were, one morning, dis
cussing at breakfast the merits of * pair
Of horses .that hfd been offered for
sale to the elder., For a wonder Bid
ward displayed more caution in accept
ing the. Jockey’s declaration of their
fitness for family use than did' his
staid relatives. Mr. Withers wah very
obstinate in his adherence to What ever
principle or prejudice he believed i that
he had seen cause to adopt, and his
eye had been captivated by the showy
team; his credulous hearing gained by
the adroit tongue of the dealer. All
that Edward’s dissuasion could irffect
was acquiescence in his proposal that
they should try the horses before the
sleigh that afternoon, before deciding
upon the purchase.
Harriet clapped her hands vivacious
ly. “And then you’ll drive by and give
as a turn behind the beauties. I am
sure they must be heavenly from what
Cousin Elnathan says. I am wild to
see them!”
“There is a look In the eye of one
that bespeaks the spirit of another j
region,” said Edward, apart to Con
stance.
"Don’t ride after them!” she en
treated, quickly. “Your brother will
yield if you tell him plainly how un
safe you consider them.”'
“Not unsafe for him and myself,
perhaps; but hardly the creatures to be
entrusted with your life and limb,” he
rejolnod. “Rest assured that I shall
A-::. - ■ ... •' J
make a thorough test of them before
consenting to the venture. I shall drive
them myself, and speak out frankly
the result of the trial. In whatever
else we may differ, Elnathan and I are
a unit In our care for your welfare.
So, If we show ourselves and the heav
enly span of quadrupeds at the door
today, you need not fear to accept our
invitation.’*
The gentle and affectionate reassur
ance contrasted pleasantly with Mr.
Withers’s authoritative mandate.
"Constance! you will hold yourself In
readiness to drive out with us this af
ternoon. We shall call for you at three
o'clock. I wish you and Harriet to be
entirely prepared for the ride when
we come. Young horses do not like to
stand in the cold.’’
An Impulse she did not stay to de
fine drew Constance to the window as
the two gentlemen descended the front
steps side by Bide. Mr. Withers was a
trifle the taller of the two, but his
figure was angular and unbending;
Edward’s svpple and elegant, while
scarcely a trace Of family likeness ex
isted between the swarthy vlsage'cf'the
elder, with Its deep-set eyes, long' up
per lip, and high, narrow forehead^
and the lively glance, clear complexion,
and spirited mouth that made Edward’s
physiognomy a goodly sight to more
eyes than those that met the parting
smile he cast up at the parlor window
when he gained the pavement, where
as Mr. Withers stalked solemnly on, '
apparently forgetful already that , he
had a home and wife, now’that his face
was set office-ward.
"Shadow and sunshine!" reflected the
gazer. “And they are not more un
like In countenance than in disposi
tions, alms and conduct—as dissimilar
as two upright men can be.”
Harriet’s shallow treble sounded at
her elbow like a repetition of the last
thought. “No one would ever take
them to be relatives,” she said. “Yet
each Is excellent in his way. Don’t
you think so?”
“Yes," answered Constance, moving
away. < | § *•, ^ u y 09 *4 fc § ft #n,
uuij uieir ways are so ainerent:
persisted the cousin. “I like Elnathsn
best, of course, but Edward is the more
popular man of the two, I believe—isn't
he?”
“I really do not know!” Constance
left the room uttering the falsehood,
Harriet had a trick of making her
intensely uncomfortable whenever the
talk between them turned upon tlie
brothers.
“I hate comparisons!” she said to her
self, when she reached her room. “And
it is forward and indelicate in her to
institute them in my hearing.”
Convinced tbat the sudden heat
warming her heart and cheeks was ex
cited by Harriet's impertinence, she
made it her business to stop thinking
of the conversation and its origin so
soon as she could dismiss it and turn
her attention to pleasanter things. It
was more innocent and agreeable work;
for Instance, to write out Edward’s part
of a new duet upon a fair sheet of
paper which he could hold in his hand
as he stood by her at the piano, the
printed copy being so blurred as to try
his eyes. He was very slightly near
sighted, although a casual acquaintance
would not have suspected it. She
copied music legibly and rapidly, and
lately had hit upon this happy device
of making him some poor return for
the manifold services he had rendered
her. "All that I can do leaves me de
plorably in his debt,” she reasoned. "I
never knew what was the fullness ».nd
disinterestedness of a brother's love un
til I met him. But all brothers are not
so considerate or devoted as is he. 1
should understand that.”

H» Wm Indeed Absent-Minded.
Judge Hawley of the United States
circuit court related recently from the
bench a good story at the expense of
a distinguished lawyer and United
States senator, whose name was not
mentioned. This prominent member
of the bar was very absent-minded at
timeB. One morning he was on his
way to court in a great hurry, and
happening to overtake a friend, re
marked: “I dressed in such haste this
morning that I forgot my watch.” A
little further on he said: "I wonder
if I have time to go back and' get It,”
and as he Bpoke he pulled out his watch
from his pocket. “No, I have not time,”
he concluded, after consulting the dial,
and he walked on. Nearing the court
house he hired a messenger to go for
the watch, paying him a dollar for the
service. The messenger returned with
the information that the timepiece
could not be found, -whereupon the
lawyer exclaimed, looking up from his
books and papers: “That Is very
strange!" Then he took a ajrift glance
at bis watch and said: “It makes no
difference, anyhow. I can do without
it. The judge is late and there is plen
ty of time.” And he paid the messen
ger another dollar.

Policemen In Paris now carry clubs,
beautifully decorated. They are pure
white, with yellow handles. Around the
middle is painted a double blue ribbon,
with the city arms at the point where
the ends of the ribbon cross. The white
color will be more easily noticed than
any other by coachmen, the sticks
being held like conductor’s batons by
the policemen in the middle of the

HE deductions of
M. Comon, one of
the foremost
French agricultur
ists, prove that the
dry matter con
tent of potatoes Is
notably Increased
by the use of phos
phatic and potaasic
fertilisers, but les
sened If nitrogen
fertilisers predominate. This fact has
been often suspected and the labors of
M. Comon and his coadjutors now
leave no doubt in this respect. 1L
Comon says: In the culture of the po
tato the question of fertilizers is su
preme. . The plant is not fastidious in
this respect, but if hot fertilized it
will yield little., A large and first
class yield o^n, .. be expected only
through plenteops.and suitable fertilis
ing. That the yeild depends in
great part on fertilizing Is not dis
puted by any sane person, but it Is less
generally known that the kind of fertll
izer exerts an influence ontfae quality
of the product. This Is a faet that,
seems to be undoubted. The exclusive
use of dressings in which nitrogen pre
ponderates is prejudicial to the elab
oration of dry.matter; the simultaneous
use of these same nitrogenous fertili
zers, with phosphatic and potassic fer
tilizers is, on the contrary, favorable'
to the securing of tubers of a high con- j
tent. While this statement may have
only a secondary importance for the
majority of our potato growers, who
cultivate this plant merely for their
Own consumption or for that of the In
habitants of the towns, it is far other
wise with those who grow the potato
for industrial purposes and have in
view the production of the starchy
matter. The importance of the obser
vation of this truth in practice can be
easily reckoned. Allowing that an acre
planted in potatoes gives an average of
10,000 kilos (32,000 pounds) of tubers,
the gain of 3 per cent of dry matter,
for example, obtained by the applica
tion of phosphatlo .fertilizer to potassic
in the stead of nitrogenous organic fer
tiliser, would result in an increase
equivalent to nearly 20 per cent in the
yield. • ' •

The discussion in these columns re
cently concerning pruning has doubt
less interested many of our readers,
says National Stockman. Much may be
said on both sides of the question. That
pruning was practiced in the most an
cient times, as attested by the oldest
writings extant, can hardly be claimed
as conclusive evidence of its useful
ness; but that it has continued in vari
ous forms until the present time and
is still in use among intelligent horti
culturists is not without weight. Pass
ing through the country one often sees
fruit trees with great limbs four or five
inches in diameter cut off, and stubs
three to six Inches long left sticking out
—enough to turn any lover of trees
against pruning of all kinds. This,
however, may be said to be the abuse
of pruning. That trees endure such
•cutting and live is evidence of great
vitality. The Osage orange as used in
hedge-making is a striking example of
this. Its strong hold on life enables it
to withstand'the two prunlngs in each'
year which are necessary to a perfect
hedge. Though never killed by this
crpcmiioa naan pruperiy periormea It
is repressed and kept in bounds; crip
pled, It may bo said, and prevented
from taking Its natural war and In
time mounting upward flftr or sixty
feet The usefulness of pruning Is
clearlr seen here. But pruning may be
done for different ends from this: To
direct growth; to thin the crop of fruit
and prevent injury by overbearing, aB
in the shortening in of the peach, etc.
The grafter prunes; the budder must
prune; the grape grower trims his
-vines annually in order to obtain the
best results. In the case of the grape
It. is pruning and training combined.
So with apple, peach and other fruit
trees grown on -a trellis or espalier, as
is done to a considerable extent In Eng
land and on the continent of Europe.
In this connection we recall the recom
mendation some time ago of our occa
sional correspondent Hon. Cassius M.
Clay of Kentucky, to omit pruning as
a preventive of grape-rot; just what w.e
had been doing witfh our Duchess, not,
removing a single cane, spring or sum
mer, but without checking' the malady
in the least. An examination of the
principal authorities on horticulture
and pomology, Downing, Thomas,
Warder, Barry, Nicholson, etc., will
show that they are all favorable to
pruning. But it is moderate, careful
pruning, at the right time and with a
correct understanding of the end to be
attained. What is justly reprehensible
is the indiscriminate cutting and slash
ing, of which the professional as well
as the unprofessional pruner is too often
guilty.
Home Grown Celery.
We know many farmers who have
learned to like celery, and who buy
considerable amounts every fall and
winter, but without a thought of grow
ing it themselves. They keep from
planting celery under the impression
that its cultivation, and especially the
blanching of the leaves, is a difficult
operation. Celery used to be grown
much more expensively than now. The
deep trenching that was ouce thought
| necessary is now considered injurious,
as sudden showers in summer will fill
the trenches with water, and half bury
the young plants in mud before they
have fairly begun growing. It is
much better t'o plant on level surface,
! and blanch the stalks by excluding
">’ ■' ’ ' v • 1- • - ■ ■ • ■
light with boards get against the row*
of celery on each aide. The soil needs
to be as rich as It Is possible to make
H. and with plenty of water so that
the growth shall never cease. If there
la any stoppage of growth, the celery
will be tough, stringy, and lacking In
the natty flavor of celery grown from
start to finish as quickly as possible.
Coarse stable manure must not be used
for celery. No matter how much water
the celery has, the manure will at
some time heat and cause the celery to
atop growing. That will make the
celery tough, no matter how well
frown it .is otherwise. The best ma
nure for celery la nitrate of soda,
which will furnish nitrogen In avail
able form without heating.
The Lamb Creep.
Th« Iamb creep baa not been in gen
eral use among sheep owners of the
United States, writes G. W. F. in Na
tional Stockman. To a large army of
sheep owners it is an unknown device.
Many would not adopt its use, if they
did know. A few would not employ it
if they knew it would make money for
them. The lamb creep is a lot or an
apartment so constructed that the
lambs can creep through and have a
quiet meal to themselves undisturbed
by older and larger sheep. Some sheep
owners construct it in such a way as to
adjust the creep holes by having roll
ers above and at the sides of the creep,
and the wool will not be rubbed off. I
do hot do anything of the kind. I made
a series of hurdles with a creep hole at
end of the hurdle nine Inches wide
and about thirty inches high. An adult
sheep that can get through this hole
needs more feed or something else.
Feed la employed in the barn in a self
feeder, but when the creeps are re
moved to the pasture they are supplied
twice daily with the ration. Lambs
that have access to lamb creeps will
mature earlier, grow larger and become
better sheep than those without this
advantage. In the use of hurdles for
sheep I never allow anyone to nail them
up. Wool twine is brought into play
for fastening hurdles. They can be
held to place by twine, and a good knife
or a pair of shears which is almost al
ways at hand will cut the twine when
they are to be taken away, and new
twine will make them fast again. Try
the creep one season if you have not
done so, and see If you, do not like it
Winter Eggi.
With warm houses and plenty of
such feed as I name you will get eggs
in winter when they will bring a high
price, writes W. G. Brown in exchange.
There is more in the care of poultry
than the breed, and the better the care
the greater the profit I had never fed
lettuce to poultry until last year, but
after feeding it to several hundred
young chicks and chickens for two
seasons I pronounce it the most satis
factory and the cheapest of all foods for
poultry. Of course, it does not take
the place of grain, but if your fowls are
fed all the lettuce they will eat they
will need lees grain and grow faster
than without it. I was surprised this
year to find that I could cut over a
pound of lettuce to a foot of drill, and
as it can be grown in drills 16 inches
apart it will be seen that more than
one hundred and fifty pounds can be
grown on a square rod. A single plant
ing will furnish feed for a month, and
by making several plantings the sea
son can be made much longer. The
eggs and poultry used in the family will
go far toward paying for the keep of
my fowls, for we use both eggs and
chlekens freely all the year around,
and my books show that the eggs sold
from my hens since January 1st have
brought me $63, and I am sure that this
Is all net profit, for in addition to what
we have used we have 100 fine young
fowls, more than half of them pullets,
and some of them large enough to lay.
Raising Large Trees.—In the vl
clnity of Philadelphia they have a
fashion of lifting large trees
where the grade has been raised that
does not seem to be In practice else
where. Two ropes are attachd to the
top of the tree so that each can be
drawn in different directions. A
’trench is dug around the base of the
tree—the circle being as wide as may
seem judicious. When dug to the depth
desired, the earth is forked away from
the ball on one aide and a block set
under the roots as a sort of fulcrum.
The rope on that side is drawn over the
block, and the result is the lifting up
of the mass of rooots on the opposite
aide. A little earth is then placed
under these elevated roots, and the op
posite rope drawn to that side. This
lifts the roots over the block, and more
earth is placed there. The tree, by the
aid of the opposite ropes, is then drawn
backwards and forwards, more earth
being placed at each turn. In £ very
short time the tree may be elevated as
many feet as may be desired, standing,
on Vie summit of a firm mound of
earth. Trees 25 to 60 feet high, with
trunks 12 to 18 inches in thickness,
have been lifted in this way with very
little check to future growth.—Mee

More Diversity Needed.—The seem
ing certainty that the great staple
southern crops will no longer warrant
the farmers and planters of the south
ern states in buying away from home
all their current supplies and produc
ing at home only these great southern
staple crops, must lead every thinking
person identified with southern agri
culture to the imperative necessity
that now confronts, us of protecting
ourselves by producing at home all ol
the agricultural products that we have
been in the habit of buying from the
other states. This is said in no selfish
spirit, but as a matter of absolute ne
cessity, and without which reform
geheral bankruptcy will surely reach
most of the farmers and planters of
the south.—Southern Farmer.
