Behind Squire Hilton's house was a patoh of cleared s.nd well kept wood land, know to all' the neighborhood as 'The Grove.' Whenever the Sunday EOhool deBired a picnio the squire was waited upon, and as a master of course consented to its being used. At other times any one had the privilege of walking there, and thechildren came in the spring to gather wild flowers, or In the autumn to gather nuts. There fore the boy who eat upon the rough wooden benoh fitted between two trees with his bead upon hishands wad not trespassing. He was a tall, gaunt boy, with his sixteenth birthday close before him. HIb clothes were threadbare, but he had a decent look. He was past the age at whioh boys generally indulge in tears, but he was crying. Indeed, he bad come to that place fer the ex press purpose of indulging his feelings unobserved. His hope of solitude proved & vain one, however. En grossed fn his grief, he had not heard the sound of footsteps, when, looking up, htt paw standing before him a girl of fifteen, Squire Hilton's only daughter, born when his days were on the very verge of winter herself the perfect embodiment of spring. She was a happy creature who had never knew care, who never thought it possible that she could wish forany thing she might not have. Knowing herself rich and beautiful, but with out pride or vanity, lovioher father and mother intensely, and with good will for a world in whioh she as yet knew not that.there was any harm. A girl who, in virtue of aristocratlo position 'In that New England village was so much under 3s pi on age as any French girl ever was'. Yet with this advantagthereBhehad noideashe was anything not to be known by her, or any one ahe might notknow. There fore, knowing no reason why she should not address any one, and know ing the ,boy by name, Bhe stood look ing at him a moment, and then eaid, softly, 'Why, Edward Burr! what Ib the matter? Oh, I know ; I heard of it your father is dead. I am very sor ry.' It's not yerv manly to cry, Miss Hilton,' eaid the boy, standing up and composing his features as well as he oould ; 'but I could not help it: he was all I had, and it was so sudden. I didn't mean any one should see me, though.' Boys and men must have feelings ns well as girls and women,' said Phe uiIeHiltofi. 'Iehould break my heart if dear papa should die ; and you hav en't any mother, have you ?' 'I have nobody, said the boy, and I hate the place. I couldn't work here now, since I've seen my father cut dpwn by that horrible machine. I am going to the oity, to New York, Miss Hilton ; I'm going to walk there. Do you know how long it will take ?' 'How long I' cried Phemie ; ,why, you could never walk there ; it takes days by the cars and boat ; and -why do you go t New York V 'I must,' said the boy. I can make my fortune there ; father always said so.' 'Yes my fathersaysNew York Is the place to make money,' said Phemie ; 'but you must have some money to be gin with. Have you any?' Twenty-five cents,' said the boy. 'Then you'd starve to death where you have no friends,' said the young girl, with an air of great wisdom and experience. 'But papjTknows every thing. Come home with me and ask his advice ; he'll tell you what to do. If any body can tell you what to do, it is my papa.1 'But I haven'tany business to both er him about myself," eaid the boy. I don't think he'll like it. He'll think me forward. 'I'll tell him I made you come. You needn't be afraid of papa ; he's as kind aB kind can be. Come now.' Much aainsthls will, Edward Burr fpllowed Miss Hilton through the woods and across the lawn that enclr oled the squire's mansion. More figainst bis will ho entered the broad ball and study door. 'Jf the squire kicks me out I deserve Jt,' he said. ' And with his hat In his hand he stood gazing in great confus ion at the white-headed old gentleman who, to his simple mind, represented the wealth andarlstocratjooftheland. A king could not have awed his hum blest subject more, though Edward knew nothing of kings and would have declared, if questioned, that ev ery man -was equal. The squire looked up ; his wife laid down the embroidery at whioh she was at work. The unwilling visitor feared that he was expected to say something, and had no idea what wordB to utter whioh would fitly con vey his comprehension of the improp riety of hia Intrusion on a strange household. But Phemie saved him further anxiety. Papa,' eaid she, 'this is poor Mr. Burr's son, and he is going to New York to seek his fortune, without any money but twenty-five cents ; and I made blm oometo you and get advice. I didn't think he could manage. What do you think ?' After I have talked with the young man, I'll know better, said the squire. The end of the talk was that the squire Bald to Edward Burr, I think you're a boy with a will and where there's a will there's a way. I'll give you a start. Take this note to $Ir. B,No. Street, and he will give you employment. I'll give yov a tick et to New York and fit you out bo that you won't starve for a week, after that go ahead ; you've got it all In your own hands, after asking God to bless 7 on.' Oh. nana, vou are so kiiiu k bbiu Phemie, as she watched ibh boy outof sight.' . . ' :" , 2fow who Knows wnai, may uumo that ? The bread was cast upon the waters withou t a thought that it might return after many days. Ten years had elapsed, and Phemie Hilton sat in a snaouy m- -r v.v A n wnnderiner where snoi could Qnd bread the uezt day. The old squire had been dead two 3eara, and before he died he had been tempt ed Ihto a speculation that bad ruined him, and his wife and daughter had come to the city to earn their bread. There the mother's health had bro ken down and Phemie was forced to leave her posi.tion jnaschool to nurse her. Private pupils had fallen off and the last dollar was spent. And now Phemie turned the paper she had bor rowed In her band, and among the long columns of advertisements baw one for necktie makers. Perhaps I could get work at that to do at home,' she said. I wiil try. lam able to do anything with my needle.' An hour after, the poor youngs lady found herself climbing the stairs of a large building iu the business portion of New York, in search of the estab lishment to which the advertisement dirficted her. 'We don't give work out,' was the reply to her question, 'and we want experienced bands.' She was turning away with the lit tle hope in her breast chilled, when a gentleman who had been standing at some distanceadvauced and addressed her. 'I must be mistaken,' he said. 'This Is not Miss Hilton, of ?' 'It is,' she said looking in vain for a familiar feature in the bearded face be fore her. 'But you baye the advan tage of me.' 'Naturally. You are not likely to re member Edward Burr, whom your father helped so kindly years ago. But for your encouragement, howev er, and his liberal aid, my life would not have been what it is now. I can never, never forget either of you.' 'You have prospered then ? I am glad. 'And this is your place? Per haps, then, you will not refuse to give me work to do at home, now that we are so poor.' And then came the sto ry. Once more Phemie saw the tears stand in Edward's eyes as she told it, and the promise that work should be given was accompanied by a request to call. Edward was a gentleman at heart, and Phemie neverguessed that other necktie makers would have opened their eyes in amazement at the enormous price she received for un skilful performance. And over her work the girl often sat smillintr now : and the mother grew well again ; and one brown beard ed face was often seen In their parlor. and it was alwaj's welcome ; and ere many mouths went by, that hap pened which every Intelligent young lady reader has expected from the first. Phemie married Edward Burr, and in their elegant home the good old squire's widow spent her last days in happiness and comfort. Harrowing and Sal imr Wheat. For the purpose of getting a better seeding of clover, I waited last spring until the ground was settled, and then harrowed afield previous to sow lug the seed. The Jot was then roll ed, and two bushels of plaster sowed to the acre. As a result of this man agement a better stand of clover was obtained than was grown in several years past by sowing very early, as la commonly practiced. The wheat on this field was thin and poor but harrowing the ground seemed to give it a start, and a yield of twenty one bushels per acre was harvested. The practice of stirring the ground around the growing winter wheat plants, as soon as the ground Is dry enough in the spring, looked so much like a common-sense plan, that an other field of very strong and promis ing wheat was harrowed lengthwise of the drill marks and then rolled. Many small weeds were destroyed in this way, and the only fault I could find with this crop was that the straw was badly lodged. When the wheat was about a foot high, three bushels of salt per acre was sown on one-half of this ground, hopiug to stiffen the straw and keep it from falling, but it was too late in the season, and it did but little good. The yield on this field ( nine acres) was 270 bushels. It Is my opinion that the Clawson wheat (which was the kind sown on thiB lot) will produce more grain, when t Is beaten down by storms, than any other variety I have oversown. In this vicinity we can usually raise winter wheat without the use of salt, but it is poor policy to sow spring wheat (on land that is well adapted for the cultivation of winter wheat and corn), except the grouud is liber ally sajted to hold moisture in the time of drouth, when the berry of the crop is filling, which is the hottest part of the summer. After several years' trial with salt for the destruction of worms, I think we mav brine death to the door of these pests, and at the same time in crease the products of our grain and grass crops by sowing salt. Country Gentleman. Drinking Blood. Mention was made recently of a gen tleman In a very feeble state of health who had been for Bpps time at the Butcher's Abattoir In Brighton, for medical treatment, simply drinking a half tumblerful of warm blood twice a day. This cour.se, the gentleman, Mr. C. H. Stickney, who Is willing that his name should appear, has followed until a week ago, having been there ten weeks, and during that time has gained ten pounds iu weight, and to use his own words, 'My appetite Is good, I sleep well and feel like n new man, and I am soon to commence business again in Boston.' He also 9ays that there are a dozen others there, drinking the blood, all of whom are gaining under this treat ment. One gentleman from Boston, a consumptive, so feeble that it was with difficulty he could get to his ab attoir, is now able to handle an axe skillfully. A lady from the city who has been sick six years, stricken with paralysis, is Improving wonderfully by this 'blood cure.' A gratifying fea ture of this oure is, it 1b without mon- d wlthout prloe a-nd Mr Sl, k. l ney speaks in praise of the gentlemen In charge ot the establishment, and says strangers visiting the place will find courteous treatment. Exchange. No garden should be without a col lection of herbs for uses for food and .medicine. Bhue, wormwood, tansy, fennel, dill, sage eummer and winter savory, lavender, thyme, spearmint, peppermint, hoarhound, catmint, pw.eet marjoram, sweet basil, carra- way, anise, cives, coriander, etc. A separate plot of ground should always he kept for the above named and oth er plants of a similar nature. The soil should be made good by taking away the poor ground and replacing it with fresh loam. No manure should be used, but the ground should be kept looue and clean of weeds. A gentleman who recently traveled through Kern county, California, re ports that the carcasses of cattle were lying in great numbers where they had died of starvation, and that many others were too feeble to get up and eat or drink. Flocks of ghesp were sub sisting on grease brush, apparently in the last stages of hunger. The own ers of some herds have abandoned their flocks to their fate. The President's mail is something aurprising. Usually the letters for the Executive Mansion are jcarried from the Post Office by a messenger on horseback, an orderly who waits at the President's door to do his errands, but since the 4th of March, it has been necessary to send it. down In a wagon specialiy detailed from the Post Office Department for the pur pose. Talk about civilization! The De troit Tribune says : They have a bank in Deadwood. The paying tell er wears a red shirt and sits with his boots upon the counter, and the presi dent, when he isn't cutting coupons with a bowie-knife, amuses himself at draw-poker with a direotor or two In the back room, using the bank's funds in the pool. A village congregation In Vermont was disturbed the other Sunday, dur ing the momentary stillness follow ing the opening prayer, by a voice from the adjoining dwelling exclaim ing, 'Mary, where's the nails?' Soon the answer cume, 'In the cofiee-pot, you fool !' During the siege of Paris 363 carrier pigeops were sent out in balloons, of whioh but 73 returned. But that small number brought to the beleaguered city 115,000 public and private dis pa to lies. Years ago might have been seen in California a street sign which came very near being an excellent pali drome. It reads : 'S. Qiljigs Yreka Bakery.' Now try it backwards. Now, when President Hayes says he will not go to Long Branch, the Democratic papers eay it is because he is so stingy. It is awful hard to suit some people. Toledo Blade. A member of the Morgan County, 111., Horticultural Society, has oalled attention to the fact that Hcorice may be cultivated with profit in that sec tion.

One ounce of copperas to eight gal lons of water, Is a good wash for trees and an effectual prevention against tree blight. Talk about devotion ! A troploal Georgian maid said she would rather be a black bombazine band en her ad ored one's hat than live without him. Now turn your carpets the other side up. Not that it makes any par ticular difference, but the women folks have got to have a little fun. According to Wade Hampton thous ands of negroes in South Carolina are tax-paying citizens.
