It was not the first love of my life, bat it was the deepest and strongest, the purest and truest that bad ever en tered my heart. How could I know that she was so tender-hearted, so over-sensitive that the least breath of coldness would weep over her like a gale from Arctic seas, parching, killing the very life within her heart? We men so seldom understand a woman's nature. We judge them all by our own standards; we make no allowance for the differ ence in natures; we are like giants trampling upon a dainty flower-bed; leaving devastation in our paths. I thought I understood her, my poor little Augustine; but now, looking back upon that time, I marvel at my own blind stupidity. "Triple fool In my blind f oily 1 purblind and Impotent worm! Thlakl&f to move the world, who could not myself stand firm! " I did not dream of the depths which lay below the surface in tbat tender, loving heart. I looked upon her with a sort of pity, because she was so gen tle and tender, so loving and timid, and little did I dream of the capacity for suffering which lay hidden within her innocent breast. This is not an exciting story; it is ?a plain; unvarnished tale;" but I will tell it, with a hope that some other man may read it, some man with the overbearing arrogance of the average male creature, and will pause and re flect upon his own course.' To such I would say, "Beware! The day may come when you, too, mav stand alone and desolate. When your head may be bowed in bitter anguish mad, un availing grief! Beware how you deal with a woman's heart a woman's af fection; a good, pure, noble woman. For God gives many gifts to mankind. but none so priceless as a good woman's true love." But I had all this to learn, as most lessons in life are learnea, by stern, bitter experience. Augustine had promised to be my wife, and I was happy happier than I have ever been since, fori had not grown so cold and arrogant then as in later davs. I think there is a devil a familiar demon, in every man's breast. In mine, the evil spirit was chiefly pride foolish, self-conceited pride. It passes my understanding (now, looking back upon the past) of what has any mortal the right to be proud and vain-glorious? Oh! how she loved me, poor little thing! She would sit upon a low stool at my feet and look up into my face with her grave, sad eyes, with 'such deathless love such longing tenderness within their depths, that it touched me be yond expression, and at the same time, doubtless, fed the flame of my mad self-esteem. A woman makes a grave mistake who allows a man to sound the depths of the love within her heart to let him read its pure white pages like an open book. Too soon he learns his power and few men arc generous enough to res st the temptation to wield that power like a rod of iron. It has been said that "our pleasant vices ofttimes become whips of scor pions to scourge us to death;' so sometimes a woman's love, when lav ished upon a man, self-confident, worldly selfish, as most men are, be comes in rash, cruel hands, an instru ment of torture, which torments her into her grave. And men are so prone to consider a woman's love deathless. Not their own oh. no! that is ex pected to pine away and die in time; but her's must be perennial, ever blooming, immortal. And yet I have seen a woman's love die die a slow, lingering death; fade, and perish, and decay. And for dead love there is no resurrection "There's no ne earth li'e for the dead. No gathering up the tears once shed." And so it is with woman's love; though, then. I was loth to believe it "It will live forever," I had always believed, and yet I was fated to learn that "Not dew, nor sunshine nor summer rain, Can call lost lore back to life a;ain " The day came when Augustine stood at my side before God's altar, and took upon her the solemn vows which she kept conscientiously, truly. I, like many men, kept them in the let ter but not the spirit. She was mine at last, mine "to have and to hold till death do us part " The honeymoon was like most other honeymoons and then life merged into the commonplace. It grew irk some to me the long da-s awav at my office desk to return to our little home, and s. agnation. My active spirit chafed within me, and longed for change excitement Home life palled upon me. I grew horribTy tired of it all. Yet, my home was a pretty one, and its presiding angel kept it like a small palace of neatness and beauty. I must have been a brute not to have appreciated the wondrous blessings which were mine; but I longed in secret for the old liberty and freedom the congenial spirits the club and the race-course. Had Augustine onlv asserted her self, and been more firm with mc, I might have reformed and in time grown quiet and contented. But in her sweetness and self-abnegation, she lived only for my happiness, and would have emulated the poetess re cently deceased, wh exp-essed her own willingness to "make a door-mat of herself for the man she loved!" Of couise, man-like, I abused this unselfishness and devotion. I began to absent myself from home; my even ings were passed with txon compan ions who gladly welcomed me b tck to their midst; an evening at poker or a theater party; made up of masculines alone it is true but with a decided tendency to linger andexcaim: "We won't go home till morning." Augustine said nothing; she never complained. I wish now, with all my heart, that she had. A little judi cious home lecture, occasionally, seems requisite for every man's wcil being. But no matter how late I came, there was never a reproach, never a ha-ty or unkind word: only uniform gentleness and kindliness; though I could not shut my eyes to the traces of tears upon the sweet, pa tient' face, and the sad blue eves grew sadder daily, as time went slowly by. I did not know it did not dream that such a (iiing as possible but my wile's love fur ma was dying a lingering death, hf slow torture, but dying all the same. Had' any one suggested such a possibility to" me, I would have laughed it to scorn. The end came at last One night while out with a half-dozen old club mates, a difficulty arose, an alterca tion ensued, angrv words and a pis tol fired in the midst of the gr up it was never known by whose hand, or at whom aimed. But the bullet found a resting-place in my body it buried itself in my side, and I fell to the ground, bleeding and senseless. I opened my eres to find myself at home in my own bed, u hile, pale as a marble image, Augustine, my wife, bent over me Her blue eyes were full of sympathy and sorrow; the golden hair, worn like a coronet gave her the look of a saint with an aureola. I I put out my hand a great wave of ! pitying love surging over mv hard, 3 worldly heart . he took it in her "own. bat sai i no hing. She nursed continually through the long ill- that followed. ISizht and day she never left my side,' Only when tired nature gave way. aad she was compelled to rest her weary body for a Ivief space. Before I was f ally re- covered, I found that I had learned to love say wife ia the true way at last the pare, noble, unselfish wav. Now I was willing to give tap all for her dear sake; to submit to live bat for her, shutting out the cold world, and hand in hand to pass down life's hill together. She was very quiet, almost too si lent She accepted all my overtures and demonstrations of affection with a sad, sweet smile, but there was no more adoration lavished upon me no more sitting at mv feet, like a peni tent before a shrine. I remembered with what secret impatience I had re ceived her expressions of love and de votion in other days, and I longed oh, so earnestly for those days to re turn. But they never came back they never wilL Kindly, gently, humbly, she received my proofs of af fection, but there was no demonstra tion in return. It maddened me. I grew at last to worship mv wife as one does a tutelar divinity, but I might as well have lav ished my heart upon a marble Galatea, to whom no hope of life can ever come. At last weary with the struggle of the mad hope of ever calling forth a lesponse from this carven statue, I sought her one evening after my return to health, determined to know what it all meant I found her alone in our small library. Her head was resting upon her hand; she leaned against the open window, her eyes sadder than any mortal eyes 1 had ever seen before were fixed upon the sky out side. "Augustine," I said, gently, putting my arm about her, with a tender caress, "my wife, tell mc what has come between us? I love'you, dar ling you have all tbe love of my heart; I worship yon, adore you! I will never offend yon again; only love me love me love me!" I was on myknees before her now, clasping her bands, kissing the hem of her dress, weeping mad tears of wild est love. But I might as well have appealed to a stone. "Tell me what it is." I demanded, hoarsely. She clasoed her hands under my arm and gazed into my face. "I will," she said, slowly, "though it cuts to my heart like a knife to 'tell you; but, after all the truth is best, and I am your wife and you have a right to know. It is this: My love for you is dead murdered by your own hand! I cannot help it; I strove against it with all my strength; but my heart has starved to death, my love has perished and your coldness and c "AUGUSTINE," I SAID, GENTLY. neglect have murdered it I am youi wife and I shall do a wife's duty. If you wish me to remain in your house, I will do so, but mv heart is dead." "My punishment is just but who shall say that it is not bitter? My days go by in a long nightmare-like existence. I am utterly aloue and my life is loveless. And when I look upon her the cold, calm statue of the head of my table, and recall the ten der devotion, the worshiping eyes that used to follow my every move ment, there are times when I am tempted to take my own life to escape the mute reproach of her presence mv murdered love.' "Oh to the house with acorpscand she so fair' With her dim, unearthly golden hair And her sad serene blue eyes!" A SAD MISTAKE. It Uhl Not flatter, Hovaver, as no Our Knew or It. Mrs. Foster was from New England, and regarded life very seriously, never shrinking or turning back from tho path of duty which lay before her, but she never realized that French was at all necessary until she visited Paris. Then she had to rely on a phraso-book, which relieved her mind of all care, but greatly exer cised the mental powers of the na tives with whom she came in con tact Harper's Magazine relates that her nephew who was studying art in the French capital, secured for her an invitation to a reception given by a famous French artist Mrs. Foster went accompanied by her nephew (and the phrase-book). She thought she knew just where to open it and read her lines. She was intro duced in French to the artist He spoke in French, her nephew replied in French until the dear old lady got bewildered. But she felt that she must say something,' so she opened the inevitable book and read off the first sentence that met her eyo. giv ing it the true New Hamshire twang. Tho artist smiled sweotly, but as Mrs. Foster saw the translation in italics after the scntenco she nearly fainted. As her nephew lead her awcy, how ever, ho congratulated hor upon her introduction and her knowledge of the language. But Henry," cried his horrified aunt, "Did you hear what I said? I asked him how soon we could get something to eat; that's what I asked him in French." Her nephew smiled; he would havo liked to laugh. Oh!" he replied, "did you? Well, auntie, it doesn't matter, for he asked mo what in thunder you Buid, and I told him I didn't know." The Glories of Donnybronk. Donnybroqk is on the outskirts oi the city of Dublin, but Donnybrook fair ground is no longer the friendly fighting ground of former days. One of tbe tents made of wattles, with patchwork quilts or blankets or old petticoats spread over them, held rows of tables made of doors placed on mounds of clay. The benches, too, rested on the same uncertain foundation and when the young Irishmen grew unsteady the bench sent them all down to the floor. Out on the green there was fighting and sports and at night the fiddles played jigs for the jolly young people. It appears from the accounts given by the strangers who visited Donny brook almost a hundred years ago that there was good reason for the world wide meaning given to the mere ex pression "Donnybrook Fair." But its glories have departed and it is many a long day since the cheerful !?hillaly was wielded around Donny brook castle. j ITondorfal Thinness of Veneer.

When so Sow the Seed Kates aal Kates n Feedtar A Cfcrap Clatera TtM TJae ff Waae Hort!emltral Mlate aa Heeheld Help. Tomato Famta;. The growth of this highly esteemed vegetable has become more general throughout tho country than any other known to tho gardener or tho cook, and it is marie to enter into more dishes and to serve a greater variety of purposes than any one plant known to the dietary of the American world. It is no longer a garden plant in the sense that it is not t. joa farm product, for they are grown in fields of from five to twenty-five acres, and made to produce a series of crops from early summer until tho frost comes. Like the most of our vegetable products the cultivation of the tomato may be made profitable or not as the man running the business has the capac ity to produce the earliest, sustain a succession of good crops throughout the season, and see that he has a market for all that he can produce. It is always in season to open for consideration and discussion the problem as to how best we may un dertake the work for next year. To this end Colman's Rural World has the pleasure of submitting the fol lowing from a bulletin issued by Cornell University experimenting station. "In discussing the use of fertilizers for this crop it is advised to use such as are quick in their action in ordor that tho plant may bear an early crop. Well decomposed manure or soluble feitilizers are best adapted to this purpose. "In regard to the matter of the early or late setting out of plants, the experiments for three successive years show that early setting is an import ant matter, and that the cold winds of May do not in jute the plants, and even a slight frost does not al ways soriously retard them. "In regard to the best time for seed and whether artificial heat is ncoded. the experiments show that tho earli est fruit is obtained from tho earliest sowing of seed. January 19; -but that by tho end of August the seed sown February 24 had bcrnc more fruit It is advised to sow some seed early, about February la to the first of March, and to sow again for the main crop about the middle of March. Frequent transplanting of the plants makes them more stocky and promotes early fruiting. Plants grow nin pots are better and earlier than those grown in the bed or in fiats. Plants grown from cuttings seem to bear earlier and heavier crops than those grown from seed, but the results are not uniformly alike in different years. "Seed saved from late fruit is, much more productive than seed from the first fruit Seed should be selected from plants that bear early, but not the earliest fruits from ordinary plants. Seed from ripe fruit give better and earlier fruit than .when taken from unripe fruit" Kale ami Notes on Feeding. Tho following rules are tho result of experiments by tho Missouri ex periment station: 1. Feeding animals as much as they can digest without injuring their health. -'. Feed a "balanced ration." i. o., ono in which tho composition is in proportion to their needs. 8. Food is required to maintain animal heat; save food by providing warm but ventilated shelter for your stock. 4. Stimulate the digestive capacity of your animal by a variety of food, salt, etc. Stock foods are composed of sub stances usually arranged into six groups. 1. Water. The amount varies with kind of food. It is of no economic importance. 2. Ash. This is tho residue left after burning away the combustible portions. It supplies the mineral ingredients to the animal body. A portion of the ash has a manurial value. 3. Trotein. This is the nitrogen ous portion of the food. It is used in the animal economy to form "mus cle" and all other nitrogenous por tions of the body; it also aids in the formation of fat. It is tho most val uable ingredient 4. Fat This substance produces animal heat, or is stored up in the body as fat for future use. One pound of fat will produce as much heat as two and one-half pounds of carbohydrates. 5. Carbohydrates. This group includes the starches, gums, sugars, etc. They produce fat and heat. G. Fibre. This substance has about tho same composition as the carbohydrates, but it 13 much less di gestible; it is of but little value. Ue or Lime. How docs lime act upon soils? we arc asked. Whero lime is employed upon tho soil, it is either as a mcro article of vegetable food, or, as a chemical agent, to change the condi tion of other ingredients of the soil. All gooa soils contain lime; of ninety four different cultivated soils in Rhode Island, analyzed by Professor C T. Jackson, eighty-nine contained lima Kuffin, in his essay on cal careous manures, says, after a largo induction of fact, "that all soils naturally poor, are certainly desti tute of calcareous earth." When there exists in the soil, already, enough lime for the wants of vege tation, the addit'on of more will pro duce no effect upon the crop. New lands, and old land not run, down, and naturally rich in lime, may re quire none. But lime is applied not alone as food directly offered to veg etation, but to act upon and change the soil itself. It neutralizes free acids which ex ist in the soiL This is done with quick-lime or air-slacked: the first combining directly with the acid the second by liberating its carbonic acid and then combining with the acid of tho soil, leaving the carbonic acid to be food for plants. Lime de composes vegetable fibre, and reduces tough ligneous substances, to a con sistency in which they can be ap propriated by plants. For this pur pose quick-lime should be used and may be applied at the rate .of from twenty to thirty bushels to the acre. Lime enters into combination with sand 01 silex. forming a substance different from either of them. Even strong clays will be found to contain much silex; and lime, by combining with it makes the soil friable or crumbling. Farmers Voice. The. V-la- of Puattrr. , There is a fashion of deprecating such small industries as the care of poultiy on farms as being below "the ambition of a farmer and rather to ba considered as contemptible than de serving. But, as a rulo, small things seem small to small minds, while the more intelligent look upon small things more in the light of parts of a whole, to be considered in the ag gregate. There are farmers who make less money clear (from twenty acres of wheat than the wifo gains from her fowls'or from her well-carcd-for hives. Indeed, this may remind us of what the great poet, tho lover of rural things, said of this small business of keeping bees, "Labor in tenui, et gloria non tennis," which means that labor bestowed on a trifling matter may bring returns that are not trifling. Every little thing on a farm should count It is the aggregate of many littlo ears of grain tnat makes tho farmor's in come, and to pick a snowy ball of cot ton by tho nimblo fingors is a tri fling thing, but many balls and many fingers go to make up tho great ag gregate of 4,CKK,O0O.OOJ pounds of this staple, which, were it not gath ered, would desolate the whole civil ized world. .Truly, small things are not' to be despised, if it is 'but a sin gle bee or a helpless one day-old chick. Colman's Rural World. A Cltotp 'stern. A Pcnnsylvauia farmer tells how he built a cheap cistern. He struck a circle seven feet in diameter and dug down three foot, then another circle ono foot less in diameter and dug threo fcot farther and broko down the sides to a slope; then with, a fire foot circlo he went- another three feet and cut away again, mak ing the cistern in the form of a jug. The sidos and bottom were plastered with cement directly upon the clay, and the top was arched over with brick packed up with sand and ce ment, and a tile was put in to serve as an overflow pipe about eighteen inches from the top. As tho average diameter would be a littlo more than six feet, it would requi.o nearly seven barrels of water for each foot in depth below the overflow pipe, over fifty barrels when tho water was seven and one-half feet deop. His figures for the cost were: Two days' labor, $2; one-half day of mason, $1; two barrels of cement, $2.50; 400 brick, 2.40; total. 7.y0. It has been in uso ten years and is as good as cvor excopting near the top, whero ho allowed it to freeV.c. and the cement cracked and pulled off, which could havo been prevented by covering with straw or othor ma terial. National Stockman. Artichoke for Hogs. The largo amount of feed that can be grown on an aero of Jerusalem artichoke, arid tho fact that the hogs will harvest the crop if left without rings in their noios, lead farmers to plant them for the hogs. But they are not very nutritious and hogs need grain with this feed if they aro to keep thrifty. If they have enough grain to fatten them they will not root much. Tho artichoke is there fore disappointing to those who ex pect from it a mean of fattening park at low cost American Culti vator. Horticultural Hint. Medium-sized strawberries arc con sidered moro profitable than larger ones. It is said that dusting turnip plants with wood ashes will protect them against tho lly. When a good orchard can bo es tablished it is an easy way to raako a farm more valuable. Nothing is gained but much is lost in planting apple trees too close to gether. Give them thirty feet apart at least A moderate crop of good fruit every year is better and more profit able than a large crop of inferior fruit ovcry other year. A well-known horticulturist says that by cutting out the black knot he keeps his plum trees free from it, oxecpting where his field adjoins neighbors who do not cut it out. Fruit trees are more liable to bear every year if they are not allowed to overbear. While thinning fruit when too thick gives a better quality, it also gives a better chanco to the tree for next year's fruit The Rhode Island experiment sta tion advises planting only throe or four kinds of strawberries for ordi nary purposes. It considers the Bubach, Charles Downing. Gaudy and Havcrland the most desirable at the present time. A good way to sell good grapes for what they are worth, says the Grape Belt, is to put thorn up and brand them so that anyone may know at a glance that they are good grapes.

Tho wife is proud for a while, but Turkish women are not good mothers. They are too childlike themselves. When a girl is born to a sultan, they fire seven guns: when a boy twenty-one.

A ski consists of a piece of llexible wood seven or eight feet long, six inches wide, and about an inch thick, with the end turned up in front, as is the fashion in certain kinds of skates. With a ski on each foot, Norwegians of all ages, whether in town or country, skim over the snow-ciad hills and even compete with one another in regular races. Ski running is a splendid exer cise, well suited to a land where the snow lies long and the hills are plen tiful. See Colcheter Spading Boots adv. la other column.
