I Shall lose her, it is true; but if she is happy, I must not think of that." 10 "She 1 be happy," said Sir Clinton; "YOU may rest quite assured of that. I shall make her happiness my study." Again Mrs. Erne looked tip at bina with a puzzled expression of face, "Yon !mow we are very poor, sir." she said. "I need not tell you that Daisy has no money; bet, if you will pardon me, she has no clothee fitted for one who is to be your wife.

She hardly knew how it was all to be spent. "Even if I buy her silks and satins," sbe thought, "it will not take all that money." But she took the delighted, happy, ovely Daisy with her. 'With faltering steps they entered the first shop in Woodburn—a shop 'where before they had never dared to tread. Fifty pounds! Sueely money nerer gave such happiness before. For the first time, Daisy's pretty feet were cevered with well -fitting, shoes, her de- l:lite hands with dainty gloves. The stylish dress made such a change in her that Sir Clinton hardly knew her.

Yee; all for you, Mr. Clifton, Now it is quite different. If it would Dot be very ultdignifieds I should Hite to dance from her to the garden gate; but I must not do that" "Why not, Daisy?" "If I am to be married, I must learn to be sneive and edate; ail ladies are so, I suppose." Sir Clinton laughed. He could re- member some married ladies not at ail famed for their gravity or sedateness. "You must not try to change your self in one respect," he said. "You are cl arming as you an --a perfect field daisy. You would be spoiled as a gar- den flower." 'Is that u compliment?" she asked, dnbiously. "Yes; I have not paid you nany cora pliments in my life, Daisy—have I?" "You have pith) roe the grentest of ail in asking me to be your wife," elle said, gently; and Sir Clinton, altheetele he did not lore her, felt pleased, ght "Waiy, Daisy," he cried, startled into edrairation, "you will turn out u perfect tenuty on my hands." "I wish I could," sae said; "I should Ike to be so beautiful that every time you looked at me you would lore in ver again." "Daisy," cried her mother, in a hor- rified voice, "how freely you speak! Mr. Clifton will think you have been strangely brought up." "Mr. Clifton admires her frankness," said Sir Clinton. And Mrs. Erne, thinking she might be ne too many, went away. "Do you really think I look nicer" aid Daisy, shyly. "Are you really lensed with me?" "How could I be anything else?" she sked. "I am so grateful to you, Mr. Clifton. You are almost too good to me. See, we you, everything in the world—my eat life, my happiness, my love; and tow, all these beautiful things; I wish knew how to thank you." He WILD quick at reading women's, aces, and he knew by the wistful ex- ression of Daisy's, that she almost ex- ecteci him to caress ben She had rawn neer to hire, and her little hand ad stolen into his.

"Ie he did not," was the logien! an- swer, 'why would he do all this'?" "I have never seen tiey one—any one in love," stammered Daisy. "Was me father like him?" "No; your father used to call me all kiede of pet names, and he would here walked fifty miles, so he said, to W-3 ray band; but all people differ. Your Mr. Clifton Shows his love in aetiotte more than hi words. You are a for- tunate girl." There was little trouble over the marriage—money can do so much, Sir Clinton procured a special license, and ramie ell sterangements himself. Yet, even while busied over them, even with Daisy's happy voice- singing in his ears, with her happy, bright tace before his eyes, with all this know- ledge of the intensity of hapoiness hi love bad brought her, there were Clues when hts. beart misgave him, and lie did not see how he was to eedure There were times when be would cheer- fully have sacrithed all his fortune, eli mast his life, to Daisy, to have freal Idinself from bite promise; there were times wheu, in his desperation, lie thought it would be easier to die than to call any other woman, save Lady :Slay, his wife—when he woula heve gone away and never rettirned. One thought alone retrained wae or Daisy's brolien heart. No other woela suffer for lane he thought, what be had suffered for Lady Mae'. Daisy was satisfied; she did not lumw what was passing in his mind. If she saw him grave, sad, Or abstracted, seid to berself that he was thinking of his dead friend. She never disturbeal hint then by one word. She was so quit end gentle, so anxious about him, so ettelions of his every look and word, that lie must have been more than Ina nom not to have been toncbett by it.

He dreamed that all this quar- rel and parting, all his trouble, sorrow end madness, his long illness, had been a fancy. that they had never really happened, and that Lady May stood by him with a loring smile an her beautiful face, telling him the church hells were ringing, for it was their wedding -day. Ile clasped her in his arms, coming her face with kisses, telling her he loved her with a love stronger than death, and she in his dream, clasped her white arms round his neck, saying, "So I love you, my love!" and then the very ecstasy of his happiness woke him. It was all a dream—only a dream. Ile buried his face in his hands, and cried aloud. In dreams the fair face of his lost love haunted him, her voice whispered sweet words to him; then he would wake, despaieing, almost mad. • It is a terible thing when a man giros the whole of his heart and the strength of his manhood to one deep, intense pas- sion. He loved one woman with his whole heart and soul, yet he was an the point of marrying another. It was well for Daisy that she did not know much about love or lovers, or surely she would have fo.urad out what was wanting; as it was, he was kind to her, and she was content. The wedding -day came—it wits never forgotten; a sverno brilliant day in June, When the sky was so deeply, dark- ly blue, and the sun so bright, that the world seemed all gold and blue. Such a • quiet wedding -day! Daisy woke with tho first sunbeam, happy and light of heart as the .• birds that song beneath the window, beautiful as the blooming flowers. Her wedding -day!

Street ot Natural Conditions of the Sheep. From what has been said of the influ- ence of its environment on the sheep it will be interesting to perceive at a glance the differeot elevations under which the various breeds have been reared, says The American Sheep Be eed- er. Necessarily, elevation of any dis- trict affects the climate of it as well aa the herbage, and these have had very Nandi to do with the evoletiou of our most popular and valimble breeds. It goes withoot saying that the special mountain sheep are pastoral, while the lowland breeds are strictly farm sheep. The feeding !sae had very much to do with the evolution of the modern breeds, and it is a fact that, as the elevation in- creases, tlae size of the animal decreases, lentil from the big Lincoln and the large sized Leicester, Romney -Marsh and Cotswold we come to the very small Welsh mountain sheep, the crearter of which varies from five to eight pounds only. At the same time it is to be said distinctly that the quality of the mut- ton of these mountain breeds is much more desirable as to tenderness of flesh and the high flavor of it than that of the lowland breeds. The position of the Soutbdown, as half way between the ex- tremes on either hand, seems to unite in its flesh the best qualities of both classes, the lowland and the mountain breeds. It feeds art the breezy chalk hills of central southern England, on which the pasture is the sweetest and most nutritious known in any country, and the air is the purest and most in- vigorating. The special conditions of the Welsh sheep tend to give its flesh a more prononneed flavor and a special tenderness, both of which give the mut- ton much of the flavor and, aroma of venison, Indeed, when the meat has been kept for two weeks, it acquires very much the character of the flesh of the deer and is often sold for it. But it feeds 031 precisely similar food to that of the deer on tho same mortutai4 pas- tures, and thus it may be said of the sheep as of the deer, that tip natural habit of either kind of animal gives the flavor and general quality to the flesh, It has something as well to do with the fleece, for as we move either way from the Merino at the middle of the eleva- tion we and the fleece becoming coarser as We go up or down the scale.

Netnews Horseshoes. One of the inost recent novelties, which will, we think, be welcomed as a boon to horsekeepers as well as the ani- mals under their charge, is a shoe which can be affixed to the hoof without nails. The new shoe takes the familiar form, bnt has two projections, one cn each side at the back. which engage rings at the ends of a band which passes over the front of the hoof and is fastened in the middle by a screw attachment to the center of the shoe. The entire ar- rangement is simple. and the innova- tion means that when a horse casts a shoe it would not be necessary any longer to seek the aid of a farrier, for the new shoe can easily be fitted in a few minutes by an inexperienced hand. In a recent trial of the nailless horse- shoe the new invention was put to a severe test, the horse on which the shoes were fitted being attached ge a heavily laden van and worked up and down steep gradients and on granite paved streets. Notwithstanding the rough work the shoes showed no signs of shifting and were not removed until worn out. The new shoe obviates all risk of pricking or laming by nails, and a slight rasping of the hoof is all that is required in attaching it to its bed.— Chambers' Journal. • • Timothy and Sheep.

The 'battle can readily be seen from the city and is a grand though terrible sight.

At about midnight tho wounded were brought to the city. Then there was a lull until Gen. McArthur struck camp and began his advance. .At about 0 o'clock the wound- ed of his division began to come in. At least 250 wounded men are now in the hospitals or on the war. There is a great cheer whenever the Filipinos are seen to give back. May Be a Success. At this hour (2 p.m. Saturday) there is every indication that the movement will be crowned with success. The ad- vance of the brigades of Generals Otis and Hale was supported by tho full bat- tery of the Utah Artillery and two guns of the Sixth San Francisco Battery. Del Monti was the first town captured. This was taken by Gen. Hale's men. Half a dozen other towns followed and fell in quick succession until the brigades of Generals Hale and Otis reached Bagbag, where a tarn to the loft was made, the intention being to flank the insurgents who were strongly entrenched at Polo. Gen. Hale's men were soon engaging the enemy on the extreme right. Gen. Wien. ton's brigade advanced directly upon Polo from Caloocan. Bis troops met with desperate resistance, but carried three lines of trenches which extended to the river, after brilliant fighting. Wheaton', Opposition. Wheaton was opposed by 4,000 of the enemy, who were mostly protected by • their trenehe,s. Nothing, however, could stop the Americans and they swept the Filipinos before them. The Oregon Vol- unteers and the 3rd .Artillery suffered the heavy losses. Major-General McArthur, who commanded the entire movement, showed his old-time fearlessness and ad - winced with the firing line, totally un- conscious of danger. His example inspired the Americans and :they fought With added vigor and fierceness. Our wound- ed are teeing brought into Manila from Caloocan by train.

GUERILLA WARFARE. ono.. smx. Getting a Taste of What the Unfortunate Spaniards Got in Cuba. Manila, March 27.—The fighting of Saturday and yesterday furnished a spechnon of the difficulties with which the Americans have to contend. The Filipinos never, except opposite Malabon, permitted their opponents to get within several hundred yards of them. They would fire a few volleys from their cover and then :scuttle back to another cover, repeating these tactics Mr miles. Many of the trenches had gullies and connect- ing paths through the cane and brush, enabling them to retreat unseen. The problem the Americans have to face is to drive or lure the insurgents to fight in force. The trenches seem thinly manned, except in the vicinity of Malabon. The Americans, lighting a hidden foe, suffer- ed greeter loss in proportion than the enemy. The loss of the Filipinos had formerly been estimeted from the number Qf bitches founcl scattered in the swamp and through the brush. A larger percent- age of the enemy's wounded died than of the Americans, many of them perishing from neglect, the Americans naturally attending their own men Arse The wounded, lifter treatment in the field hospitals, were brought to the Man- ila hospital by train.
