word of what I said there, I believe a man
—or a woman either— ought to choose
in marriage just the other special herson
towards whom their own hearts inevitably
lead them. I believe it all—I believe it
without :reserve. Money or rank, or con-
nection or position, should be counted as
nothing. We should go simply where
nature leads es; and nature will never lead
us astray. For nature is merely another
name for the will of Heaven made clear
within us."
Ingenuous youth blushed itself crimson,
"I believe so too," the timid girl answered
in a very low voice and with a heaving
bosom.
He looked her through and through with
his large dark eyes. She shrank and flut-
tered before his searching glance. Should
he put out a velvet paw for his mom now,
or tdaould he play with it artistically a little
longer? Tookmuch precipitancy spoils the

with those words on his lips, and trample
poor Elsie's tender heart under foot ruth-

had not the strength of mind to follow prin-
ciple at that precise moment. He looked
long and. deep into Winifred's eyes.They
were pretty blue eyes though pale and
mawkish by the side of Elsie's. Then he
saki with a sudden downcast, haldawkvverd

because she was quite abashed by
this tune at her own temerity, and
partly because Hugh diassieger, micked
mac! was actually smiling a eovert
emde through the corners of his mouth at
youthful enthusiaran.
"Would you?" Hugh answered with an
mused smite. " You rate the autographs
a living veraifier immensely above their
arket value. Even Tennyson's may be
ought at a shop in the Strand, you know,
or a few shillings. I feel this is indeed
fame. I shall begin to grow conceited soon
at thie rate. And by the way, Elsie, I've
brought you a little bit of verse, too. Your
Laureate has not torgotten or =elected his
customary duty. I shall expect a butt of
sack in return tor these; or may I venture
to take it out instead in nectar ?" They
stood all three behind a group of syringe
bushes. Ite touched her lips with his own
lightly as he spoke. "Many happy returns
of tile day—as a cousin " he added,
laughing.— 'And now, what's your pro-
gramme for the day, Elsie?"
We want you to row up the river to
Snade, if it's not too hot, Hugh," his pretty
cousin responded,. all blushes. .
" TD1113, Regma, quid optes, Explorare

quoted merrily. " That's the beat of talking

your most epigrammatic: Latin quotation at

As a rule, my Latin quotations, which are
frequent and free, as Truthful James says,
besides 'being neat and appropriate, like
after-dinner speeches, fall quite flat

It is prediated thet the wheat area

the coming year, In Missouri Moue the de-
crease will be 1,0ia,11 k acres less than last

drouth which interfered with the fall sow.
ing, and partly to the low prices of wheat.

Complaint is rnade trODI ote or two states
that farmers* institutes are iosing.inpopular-

states that whenever the fanners get to-
gether, a band of lawyer:4 politicians and

scene. Any connection between these two
facts?
To make hay so as to retain all the good
qualities and nutriment of the grass or
clover or any other fodder crop, it must be
cut when it is in its stage of blossoming. It
then contains the moat of the valuable
nutritious elements and the least of the in-
digestible matter. And to preserve then
nutritious elements from loss, the grass
must be cured aa quickly as possible.
Said a farmer to his Sons: "Bort you
hear Me now I Don't one of you ever speck-
erlate, or go to wait, as Micawber did, for
something to turn up.' Yon might jest as
well go and. sit down on a stonein the middle
of the medder, with a pail 'tweeze your legs
and wait for the old brmdle cow to come and
back up to you and hist already for you to
milk her." And the old farmer wee just
right in his conclusions.
The gopher problem will soon be a live
question again, unlees there are unusually
heavy rains this spring; and the county com-
missioners ought to take seine measures
looking to their extermination. We hardly
think the offering of a bounty desirable, as
it is very expensive and often ineffectual.
The counties that have tried it seem best
satiefied with poison. The Stutsmau Com-
missioners have just contracted for 045
worth of strychnine for the purpose.

one of Nature's noblemen, whatever other

time on a sebject efintereat to both of re—
the canine tribe—and ween 1 was ttlling
him of a fine Irish setter that I owned, he
eudtletily mid in excellent English:
"You aro I thhalth an English womani"
We had been conversing hi German, a lan-
guage I lied always spoken, anal' prided

samo language:
"No not, Basilan, but Canadian. But
how did you know .7"
"Oh, juse as you can now hear, I am sure
that 1 atria German, although I have always
spoken English. My wife Is English, an
she tells me I weak well, but the 'tht o
your language betrays me."
Then we both laughed, and I thought to
myself, it is a ,good. thing he spoke of that
English wife of his, for my poor heart was
begioning to be much interested in this ex-
ceptionally handsome stranger. Who in
the world. could he be ? An office, 1 felt
rare. Probably an Austrian—but no ; his
accent was that of a northerner.
"Are you alone?" he then asked.
I told, hiin I was awaiting my friends, who
had gone further up, and just then we heard
their voice& above us.
" Well, then, I will wish you good afteg,
noon, and I hope you will forgive ney dor-
Anfweider Schen. I hope we may meet
again," and with a deep bow he watt ed away.
The next moment I was surrounded by
the others, all looking amewith big eyes
as I watched the tall man and his dog de-

will you please tell
us where you became so intimate with his
Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of
Germany?"
"Tho Crown Prince of Germany ?" I
repeated slowly; ." do you mean to say----"
Why of course. lh was all °lento me now,
the feeling that 1 had seen him before.
Was so familiar with his photographe, which
are exeellent likenesses, that I thought I.
knew him. The next morning we left Rive,
at daylight, and none of us saw the Prince
again. Years afterward I was in Berlin, and
in walking through the Thiergarten one day
I met the Crown Prince Frederick riding
with some officers. I knew him instantly,
and although he bad grown older he was
still a splendid -looking man, and looked
every inch the Prinoe. We all bowed, the
gentlemen of Our party standing bareheaded,
according to etiquette, as he passed; but
her vanity had a fall when I saw that my
moy had quite forgotten me.
