Some of the morero reeelvo have barraoks but to the great ase orit but two alternatives present _ J tboutielvee—tp n stack in' the opeu air or. to threat* from h hyo In the days ;of rah em t e the*. y medley, or ovenof self -rake machines, deck, ing grain was net considered such It great undertekiag; but it runt be oonfe ted that among the present generation there are few who ogre to be good stackers, and, if pos. Bible, fewer who can. This make. it very diffiou.lt to stank grain, and: expensive, at the beet, etaokere getting at least twioe aa much per day as other harvest hands. But It is not this alone which inclines many to threshing from the shook, Labor fa saved. Not only is the lobar of the .tackers avoid- ed, but all the labor ot pitching the bi ndlee from the wagon te the ataok, Even more ; for one man, lritobing from the wagon, can keep the threehing machine supplied, while it requires two, er poeeibly three, pitohing from the riok, Labor 'saved ie se mach money gained at any time ; but at this par. denier eeasen it is an enema' amount gain ed. Time is preeleuo. Harvest has just, ended. All hands are "worked dawn." Yet the early ,potatoes must be harvested; the weeds cleaned out of the cern, trnok patches, and fence corners once mere ; the ground for fall wheat plowed-olearly the earlier the better; the manure for this ground drawn from the yards and stables, and yet other work to be done, and mem- !ugly bunched late a period not half long enough for its ecoompliehment. A sav- iug of a few days' labor at this time is ine porraat. Bat the arguments are not all in favor e. threshing from the shock, as I have found by pad experience. With eur steam thresh - ere grain can be threshed very rapidly ; bat it rt quires a Large force of men to handle it. You must have help frem your neighbors, and in return you must help them at await, ing or threshing, The result is that you de not get at your plowing er manure hauling any earlier than, if as early, as if yen had etaoked the grain. It le true that the threshing hi done, but at this time the ob- ject le to get at work in its Beason rather than to do work before it le neceseary to do it. Threshing can be done later, when the wheat is sown and the potatoes are harvest- ed; and while the days are shorter then, they are enough ooeler to oempensate for this in amount of work done. Yet another thing : All cermet be the first to thresh ; some must wait, and while they are waiting their grain may be sadly damaged in the shook. Such damage is exceedingly pro- bable. We have frequently severe wind- storms, accompanied by drenching rain, that will spatter any shook that can be built and then wet the bandits through. I know that the first year I tried threshing from the shock I was ono of the last te get to threah, as en aeceunt of a miennderetand- ing I failed to engage a machine until two weeks after I had intended to de so, Wet weather set in and continued. This greatly delayed eur tbreshiog, The result was that my grain steed in the shook for six weeks. Many shooks were blown dewn two er three times. I expected my grain would be rain- ed. I was agreeably surprised to find that very little was damaged when I finally get it threshed, but setting up the shooks had required more labor than stacking the grain would have done, while the risk I had run and which Dame se nearly resulting in seri- ous lose bas made me disposed to ataok my grain, unless it came my turn to thresh early in she season. It may be argued that grain spoils In the stack, and I must confess that I have had more grain damaged in the stack than in the sbook, Twice when I have hired the best stackers to be had, paying them $5 per day, they built such defective stake that In two of them the grain was damaged to the very bottom, the rain having traversed the stack from top to foundation. But while it is true that I have had more grain damag- ed in the etaok than in the shook, this is because, perhaps, that stacking has been my rule rather and threshing from the shook the exceptions, though they have not been few. Small grains pass through a sweat, and undoubtedly It le better that this should oc- cur in the stack than in the bin. If it (lo- eurB in a stack properly built the grain °omen out plump and bright and dry, and will not spoil In the bin by reason of any- thing.exiating in the grain ltaolf, But if the sweating rakes place in the bin, as it must when the grain Is threshed frem the check, shoveling the grain about is often necessary to prevent its molding, and though this be not necessary, the grain is not eo bright as if it had cared out among the chaff and straw. Millers muoh prefer grain that bas eweated in the stack, and Some, e.t least, will pay for it 1 or 2 cants more than for grain that has sweated in the bin, It' is apparent that the arguments for and against threshing from the shook are about Equally divided, My experience and ob- servation Lead me to stack, unless I can be among the very first te thresh. In my neighborhood nearly every one threahes from the shook. In a neighborhood where the majority stacked their grain, the man who threshed from the field oenld get his grain out of shock in geed season, provided hee a aud8 et sufficient helpt from his neigh- bors bor; but if they atomic their grain they will not want to help him thresh until they have finished stacking. Stacking has been the general rale, and it is well that such is the case ; threshing direct from the field should be the exception, though if yen rightly manage rrrattere_yeu can nearly,. every -year, get to thresh as soon as the grain has oured sufficiently, and thus save considerable labor without lnourring,unusual risk of the grain opening in then:hook, ,t•��,t ea '�caa� - B al to Him.

Eloping' Twioe with the Same Man. It Two years age Miss May Conway was ene of the most attractive girls in the little vil- lage of Texas, Baltimore county. She was not handsome, but bright and winseme, and the country beano were drawn to her like bees to a honeysuckle. She appeared to he modest and good, and sang in the village church choir. She alae taught a class in the Sunday school, and it was there she met her fate. Howard Pee, it is said, was a teacber in the same school. He wee an in- dustrious man, with ne bad hbalte, and until he became too fond of his fair fellow teacher he was a devoted hatband. He had been married some yearn, and his wife was an excellent lady. The conduct of Poe and Mise Conway soon became the talk of the village, and the discarded wife was terribly disttessed. Finally, one Sunday after lichee', the couple disappeared. They oame to Baltimore and put up at a hotel here. They then went to Waehingtan, but in a few weeks they repented ot their unholy love, and sought forgiveness of their relatives. He was received again by his wife, who forgave him and believed him thoroughly repentant, May was received into the bosom of her father's family as a prodigal daguhter. From that time until about a month ago the exemplary conduct of Poe and Miss Cenway silenced the tongue of the gossips. In all that time they were never seen in each other's company. Theybowed wh cnov er they met, but that was all. Recently, however, they were thrown foto eaok other's society at several plonios, whfoh Poe attend- ed without his wife. The result was a re- vival of the old affect -lone, which led to another elopement, and the couple are now living together near Yerk, Pe, Mre, Poe lives atone in Texas, supported byhhr own exertions and her husband's father.

A ship carpenter named Dwyer is em - played in the New England Shipbuilding Company's yard, Bath, He has worked there some time. A day or two ago a lum- ber -laden aohooner frem the South arrived at one of the wharfs ef the company. While the aohooner was unloading her cargo Mr. Dwyer was assigned to the duty of mark- ing the timber as it was landed on the wharf from the schooner. While attending to that work he heard bus name called by one of the sailors on board of the schooner. He naked what was wanted, and was in- formed that it wan meant for a sailor en beard. The ship carpenter a short time after turned his thoughts backward a number of years, and brought to mind the appearance of a brother whom he had not seen for twenty-five years. Could the man on the schooner, who was named Dwyer, be his brother 2 He sought the sailer, and in a brief space of time the men were shaking eaoh ether's hands in a vigorous manner. They were the long -separated brothers, both having sought different parts et the glebe when young. For a few years after they heard from ene another, but corres- pondence finally ceased, and each supposed the other dead. The fact of the meeting of the two brothers after such a long absence seen be- came noised about the shipyard, and p it was. talked about a great deal bythe workmen. It seems there is another manin the yard named Dwyer. He heard of the meeting. The two men were sought by him, and re- sulted in finding two brothers he had net seen for a lapse of twenty-five yearn, all three of the brothers having become separ- ated about the same time. What Boerne almost inoredible ie the fact thatetwo of the brothers have been employed in the same shipyard here for some time, and yet did not know eaoh ether tie brothers till after the sailor—the third brother—made his ap- pearanoe here.

At 7 o'olook we are twenty. eight miles offshore and,ehould bo quite out ot aught of land, but saw over our atom Southampton towers on the shore larger than when we wart close aboard of it Its , western windows glare like elootrio lamps in the fiery light of the setting ean, The plane seemertolive and move and have being, for while wo gaze at it the buildings eeem to rise into the air as if, having grown weary of etanding upon the lake shore' So long, they had suddenly become inspired with a resolution to climb the golden stairs, They move about, too, with a sidelong, tremulous' motion, like the shadowy ot borealis flashing. on a northern sky, and one pan almost fancy he hears the low strains of a distant mato shivering - through the heated air, All aorose the Intervening distance THERE IS A DAZZLING BLUR of unduletien that may be the invisible forms of thronging water sprites weaving the mazy web of their sunset dance. The little white column that does duty as a light- house off the 'solitary pier et the town stretches up into the heavens an if it were ambitious to beanie another Tower of Babel. But there le no babel to be seen or heard, Everything within range of tho vfafoa and hearing betokens peace. There le nowhere to eeen on the water or in the sky even a faintest indication ef wind, The surface of the lake has as little motion as have the woven waves of watered silk. All Bounds from the share have long ainae died away, and nothing beyond our'ship indicates that the silence of universal death has not fallen. over the world.

The heavens are clear all around with scat- tered white and fleecy 'clouds here and there that seem like half perfected designs in glasswork blown white en the great transparent ,hell -glass of the sky, and the only darkneso anywhere visible is the long, lazy hawsers of smoke that eluggiahly pay themeelves out of the stacks and carelessly. poll themselves down In oddly convoluted shapes along the horizon. The busy mi- rage, however, remains, and having noth- ing else to elongate, Beene to lift the water itself until, as you look oarelersly seaward in any direction, you cannot tell water from pkv. We seem, under ti's enchantment ofthis silent, unseen wizard of the lake, to be at the bottom of an immense liquid bawl trying to sail, or steam, up hill, and the impres- sion fixes itself half oredulonaly upon our minds that the huge wheel revolving under the ah3p'a stern Is a screw - driver, which is point of fact it le, that is going to screw eur ship bodily through the liquid wall and feroe it eat en the farther aide.
