Daisy was the first to des- cend. Lord Ledo and Mz0. Wyverne soon joined her. Philip's first question was : "Where is Rita ?" "She will be down soon, without doubt," said Mrs. Wyverne. "I have not heard how she fs." "She promised to see me before I went away," said Lord Lisle. -- mune go at eleven -et is nearly ten now. We are all late this morn - . No Rita came, and Mrs. Wyverne sent one of the footmen to SU311.111011 Therese. The maid came in, bowing pro- foundly to Lord Lisle. "How is Miss Lisle this morning?" asked Mrs, Wyverne. "My lady has not rung yet," re -- plied the maid. "She wished me last night not to disturb her until she rang." "I will go," said Daisy. "I will remind her that Lord Lisle goes at eleven. Do not wait breakfast for sne ; I shall stay with Rita.- DalsY was absent ten ininutes or more. She returned looking pale and startled. "Rita has gone out," she said, slowly. Lord Lisle looked relieved. "She is all right, then, I snppose,' he said, "and has gone for a plea- sant early walk." "It eeems strange," said Mrs. Wy- verne. "Why did she not ring for Therese 9" At that moment she, caught sight of the maid's scared look as she stood at the door. A. sudden pre- sentiment of some great trouble ee,,,seized her. "What is it, Daisy ?" she asked, starting from her seat. Daisy got up and threw oue area around her. "Do not be frightened," she said. "Therese is alarmed. Rita has gone out ; but the strangest thing is her bed has not been slept in, and the things laid ready for her to put on have never been teuched." Therese came in. "I do not understand it, madame" she said to Ws. Wyverne. "My lady has not even taken off her jewels or her dinner dress -I cannot end them." Mrs. Wenverne turned to Lord Lisle, "Philip, my dear," she said, "what is it ? See what it means." "It means nothing," said Lord Lisle gently. "Rita has in all pro- bability gone out. She is some- where in the gardens or in the grounds -perhaps even somewhere in the house. Daisy and I will look for her. Therese, stay with. Mrs,. Wy- verne. Not one word of this non- sense, before •the servants, raind !" "Tell her how she has frightened me," said the elder lady, in a trem- bling voice. "Bring Iher here quiets, They went to the drawfieg-room- the library -the state room -they e searched -the whole house, but there was no sign of Rita. Daisy grew frighte-ed. "It is all nonsense V" said Lord Lisle. "She is out in the grounds." He called two of the footmen, and told them "Miss Lisle was in the grounds. Would they go and tell her the breakfast bell had rung'?" The men went on their errand. Lord Lisle stood by the library win- dow. Neither Daisy nor he spoke one word. The men were absent nearly half an hour. Neither one or the 'other had heen able to discover Miss Lisle, Then, for the first time, Lord Lisle felt alarnied. "Go and 1411 Mrs. Weverne, Daisy," he said. "Ask her to coine up into Rita's room." They all stood there, helpless and uncertain what to do. Nothieg seemed out of place. There was no disarray of jewels or dress ; the pretty white morning 'wrapper, With its • crimson ribbons, lay -untouched upon the chair. ke4 "She Ifee not sTept here," said Mrs. Wyverne ; "that is certain, Philip, Whet has become of my child .9" "We will soon know," he replied. The great bell in the hall ettaS rung, the men servants all assembl- ed, gild in less than ten minutes they wore dispereeel over the grounds Searching for one they would never find in life again. Lord Lisle followed the men into the park, Ine Wee bewildered. They turned .to him for direction, and he knew not witlt to say. The Sun shoee so brightly, the flowere bloOm. ed, the birds. sung -everything Was bright and gay. What elutdove aoreoVe el' Wrong could fall that beateiful morning ? There Was not a aloud on the errillieg ettnuner sky-, tot a sign in the dome perfumed breeze, "Where shall We go fey lord ?" itsked one of the Peeve "Perhaps the young lady eas met with an Acci- dent while walk -nig in the perk. Shall we go there first 9" But even as he stood giving his directions, he saw three of the ser- vants running from the stile that led into the woods, white and" breathless, calling loudly for help. He went to meet them. Jennings, the footman who usually waited on Miss Lisle, came first. "My lord," he said, "I am ,afraid there is something wroeg in the woods. Something is lyiug there we dare not touch. Will you come ?" They went all together, leaving tbe bright, warm sunshine, and going into the cool, deep shade of the woods. The birds were singieg in the hearts of the tell tree. Some- thing --a eoulused mass of shining stik-lay in the long, thick grass. The wind played with •a mass of blas3k, rippling hair. They drew near in hushed breath. One round, white arm, clasped by a •diamond bracelet, lay still and cold on the eilIcen robes. Lord Lisle knew what lay there when he saw that. . The men drew,back as he went to the quiet figure. He parted the mess of fern leaves and raised the face, beautiful and still in death. There was "a loud cry of grief and horror ; but he knelt in silence, lift- ing the prostrate figure and raising the head. As he did so he caught sight of the fatal pistol. "Oh, dreadful deed 1" he cried. "She has been murclered-shot ! Who can have done this ?" A deep sob broke from his Bps as he tenderly covered the white face. He did not think how she came by her death. Be Only felt the bright, beautiful girl, who loved him so dearly -who was soon to be his wife -lay before hira dead. In silence they carried her up_ the broad marble staircase deeorated for the wedding, into the room she had that morning left. In silence and tears they laid her upon the bed where so lately her wearied head had lain. They left some to watch in the darkened room, and then Lord Lisle • went down to seek those who waited for him so anxiously. Mrs. Wyverne started up at his en- trance, "Philip," she cried, "have you found her ?" "Yes," said Lord Lisle, sorrow- fully ; "we have found bee" "Where, and how ?" she asked. But when he set down by her side and tried to tell her, his courage and strength gave way. Lord Lisle buried his face in his hands, and were aloud. He told them at last, holding their hands in his, and begging the.un for heaven's sake, to bear it well. Daisy's scream of horror rang in his ears for days afterward. Mrs. Wy- verne looked as though she would die from the shock. "Who can have done it ?" cried Daisy, beside herself with grief. "My sister had no enemy ; sbe never did anyone wrong or harm." "She had a. secret in lier life," e said Lord Lisle-"sozne secret that has cost her dear. Paul, the head gardener, who has jest returned from Thornton, tells nae he saw Miss Lisle, cross the park this morning with a tall, dark- man. Ile paid no pantibuear attention to him, be- lieving him to 13e a visitor. Itely upon it, that; man is her murderer. Who was he, Daisy, and what had he to do with your sister who, was to hex° been my wife ?" They went up to the room where weeping attendaaits watched their dead lady. We leave them there - grief is sacred, and their sorrow is no light 0110. Lord Lisle took no rest ; the whole eountry side were roused to search for the perpetrator of the dark deed; the news ran Jike wildfire, and creat- ed a sensation that was never equalled. "The beautiful Miss Lisle, who was to have been married next week, had been found dead, shot through the heart." , Lord Lisle telegraphed to London for the first detectives in the city to be sent down at ()rec. They can -ie ; the neighboring gentry all joined in the search ; a reward of two thousaed pounds was offered by Lord Lisle ; government offered two hundred more ; but all seemed vain. There was no clew, no trace, no sign os the assassin. A few days passed in mourning and gloom that no words can des- cribe. An inquest :was held at the Hall, but no evidence could be pro - misted which threw any light upon the mese mysterious murder of modern times. The pistol found near the spot bore neither mark nor name; stills the detectives hoped toi obtain some clew from it. All England rang with the news, People who had seen Miss Lisle in all the splendor oi her beauty could hardly credit the fact. Never was anything se ead ; young, lovely, wealthy, about to be Married to a man she loved, Popular indignation was aroused as it had seldom been before, The day tame when all that was mortal of the erring, unhappy girl was hidden from the sight of eaen. With all her grand betel:ter, her glar- ing feults, Margaret Rivers paseed itevey, and her place keeW her no more. There neeer was a sight to equal that funeral procession ; the guests invited for the wedding came to do more honer to it, The bells that should have rueg out With a merry peel fer her merriage tolled Ter her death, Those Who saw it Will never forget it. They will never forget the aged lade wheee tears and sight sister whose sweet face was perhaps the saddest of ell ; or the pale, sore row -stricken Mourner who was tie seen te have been the huelefted of Margaret Rivera. They laid her to rest in tile old family vault in the pretty green eltercheyard of Thornton. The suu shines ever lier grave, flowers bloom near it, end birds sing rolerid She, with all her faults and sins, her sorrows and fears, Will zeest Well until* all earthly rest be ended in this world. It Was the evening of the dry of the funeral. Tee gueetts had all de - Parted ; the confusiou was all over, aed a somber quiet had tenon upon Lisle Court. Mrs. Wyverne sat in her own room; Daisy wet with her, Although the day was warm, a flre burned le the grate '• the chill of sorrow had taken Ttossession of the poor lady. Daisy, in her deep Mourning -0419a, sat by ber side, trying to eOrget her own sorrows in soothing that oe others. Lord Lisle was alone in the lib- rary, wearied and exhausted by the horror and misery he had passed through, unable to read, to write, or to do anything save think of the scenes he would have given worlds to forget. It was not yet dark ; but he had drawn the blinds, unable to 6ndure the sight of the summer sun. The butler came in to say that a man requested to see his lordelere on very important business. "I cannot see Min to -night, Mar- tin," said Lord Lisle, wearily. "I am tired and ill." , "So I told him, my lord," was tee reply ; "but he implored Inc so earnestly to ask your lordshiee for an interview I could not refuse. His manner lee so strange, my lord, I cannot help thinking he has some- thing of vital importance to corn- naunicaten' "What kind of a man is he ?" asked Lord Lisle. • "Tail and dark, my lord, with a strange, wild face --fierce and leamd- 501110." As the man. said the words there suddenly flashed- across Lord Lisle the remembrance of the man witem Ile had seen speaking to Rita on the cliff at Sunbay. Dated it be the same, and had he Genie -to tell the secret that belonged to her ? "Show him up," said Lord Lisle ; "and, Martin, see that scene of the men are at hand to answer the bell." It was the game -Lord Lisle knew him at a glance -the same inau who had rushed past nim that day on the cliff. The butler withdrew and clos.,ed the door behind him. Then Lord Lisle, looking in the man's face, found it white, worn, and wild, as though rest, sleep, and peace were strangers to him. He came near the table, and Philip saw that his hands trembled a.nd his lips quivered. "Sit down," said Lord Lisle, kindly ; "you look ill." The man taok no heed to his words. “My % lord," he said, "suddenly, ray name is Ralph Ashton. The girl who has been buried to -day, who was to have been your wife next week, was my promised wife three years ago -bound to ine'ty every tie -bound to me by love so passronate by an path so solemn, nothing could break it.

One of the greatest hiedrances to the fermees success is his failure to keep accurete accounts of his farm trensactions, Most farmer* keep uo account at ell of what they get or whet they spend. They bay when they have to and pay for it when they can, and cannot toll for their livewhether they are making or losing nenteer. As a. result of this lax method the iarizer often spends more thee be ought, buys at the wrong time, spends money for thhigs that he could do witeout, and then Iia e to use every possible means, and often even borrow to meet necessary expenses, But the farmer will Say that he is not a, book-keeper and that he does not know bow to go at it to keep accounts. He aoee not need, to be a book-keeper. Anyone who knows the ordinary operations of arithmetic can Reep all the ac- counts necessary on the farm, the simpler the better. 'First, at tite beginning of each year, say April 1, for that is the be- ginning of the farm year, every Sarre- er should make a list of the proba- ble year's expenses. This list should include so much for help, for black- smith's bills, for new Machinery, if any will be needed, for seed, for household expenses, etc. These esti- mates should be carefully made ana a little too large rather than too small. A farmer whe has had any experience at all and „makes his es= theates with care, will end that he willcome below them, and the tend- ency will be to try to do se, when if there were no accounts he WOULD NOT THINK Ole IT. Then every venture on the fares should be kept account of. For in- stance, against the field of rye there should be charged so much for in- terest on the value of the fiel& so meny days' work for man and team, so many loads of manure at a fair vabee, so many bushels of seed; and to balance, you should enter the ac- count Of the rye and straw sold. So with every field crop. In this way and only in this way can the farmer tell what he is making out of his crop and what his fields will pro- duce best. He may find after trials that he always loses money on corn and oats in a certain field, hue makes when he sows it to rye or leaves it in grass. The lessen should be so 'plain not to sow it in corn or oats. 4 The same kind of accounts should bee kept with the stock. The hay given to the cows should. be estimate ed, the feed meastured, and with the value of the labor expended on them should be charged against theme Then credit them with the butter and milk sold cued used by the family, and the value of the skimmilk used. If you have reason to think that any one cow is not paying her way, keep a, separate account of her for a, few weeks, and if you find that she is unprofitable, get rid of her at once and put in her place a cow that - will give you a profit. Beep a like account with the hogs, sheep and poultry, not forgetting to credit them with what is used in your own family. But my farmer reader has already beguei to say: "If I did all -that, I would not have time to do any farm- ing." Not so; it is not as much work as it seems. lf kept regularly the accounts will take but a few minutes each day. Nor die you need an elaborate set of books; four 10 - cent account books will be ALL THAT YOU' WILL NEED. A PUSHING lavnR.

The sheep and hogs will take another, and tbe cattle 'and poultry one each. With the last, a. good way will be to put the credit account in the front of the book and the debtor account in the back; and go until you meet end the, lee:kris full. You do not need to make daily entries as to the amount' of feed given. Estimate the amenint of hay in a portion of the barn, which can be easily done by taking measure- ments, charge it against the cattle, and feed only them from it uneil it is gono; likewise weigh a ton or half ton of feed and charge it against theta. So do with the feed of Other stock and with the poultry. When once you have started the system of accounts you will be sur- prised to see how little work it is, and you will also be surprised to see how much more profit you will have at the end of the year than when you kept, no accounts, you will find yourself planning how to make the things which are least profitable more profit- able; getting rid of unprofitable stock, guarding against spending money unnecessarily and spending what you do spend to the hest ad - Vantage.

IMIDD ON SWINB, Por a number of years the Wiscon- sin experieneut station has been make ing tests to determine the exact ef- fect of different classes of feeds '0On the hogs intended for Marlcet. Sume realizing the work of three- carefully conducted experiments, Prof. Car- lyle finds that feeds which are given to growing pigs exercise a marked influeece upon the proportion of fat to lean meat in the Carcass. They Play aleo materially effect the de - Vel:. sp,auent of intereal organs OA the breaking strenth of bones and ten- doA ration of peas and shorts gives a large proportion of lean meat, firmer flesh, stronger bone and more blood than a ration of corn and rye. The full ration of peas also gave more marked results in each of these than. did a ration of peas and shorts when compared to coru and rye. The ration of corn and rye fed to grow- ing pigs tends to retard the develop- ment of internal organs and to in- crease the proportion of fat meat. The thigh bones of pigs fed upon peas were on the average 26.9 per cent, stronger than those of pigs of the same age and breeding given corn. With breeds noted for fineness of bone, sach as some strains of the Poland-Chbea, this ts a very import- ant item. At prices which ordinexi- ly prevail. in the market, corn is a cheaper feed them peas. However, in raising breeding stock it may be ad- visable to feed a high-priced ratioa if it will thereby build up an animal of stronger vitality. All the experi- ments in the three Uses noted go to prove that hogs are more profitable when fed a balanced ration, are snore healthy and' more vigorous. Of course the ration will be determined largely by the price of feed, but for young aneraals this should not be given as rauch weight as it is later when they are Peng prepared for market. SICILL IN 111TINCIRG. Milling is an operation which re- quires skill, as it has, aul important effect on the amount and quality of milk given.

Some people think it necessary, but this is a, mistake. The hands should be kept cley. If they are not it is impossible to prevent drops of milk from constantly felling from them into the pail. The pail should be held close to the udder, so as to expose the milk to the air as little as possible. The feather the stream falls and the reeve it sprays the more dirt and bac- teria it collects. Contamination from the fore milk must be avoided by discarding the erst few streams drawn, or less than a gill in all. This entails little loss, as the first milk draevui is always poor in butter fat, and if it happens to be badly contaminated, as is frequently the case, much injury and trouble may be saved. .

Dr. IIorton's searatm, I believe, has led to the suggestion that an anti - scandal lea.gtie be formed. The vice of scandal with its attendant results of bitteraess and woe is not by any means confined to the old land. Our own Dominion furnishes a no con- siderable quota of this dangereute element. It would be well for any anti -scandal league to adopt as its rule of action. the one in -use by Miss Mitford, who, when any scandal was repeated to her, quietly* anewered, -Now, just put on my bonnet and we'll go and ask if that's true." Those who deal in wares of this kind would soon go out of business in the face of such efforts to ascertain the truth, SCApDAL REBUKED. Some yofing ladies at the house of Rev. B. Jacobs, of Carabridgeport, were ono day talking about one of their female friends. As he entered theh room a heard the epithets,- "odd, singular," etc., applied. Ha Asked and was told the name of the young lady in question, and then said, very gravely, "Yes, she is an odd young lady; she is a very odd young lady. I consider her extreme- ly singular." He then added, -eery irapressively, ”She has never been known to speak ill of an absent friend." The rebuke was a, salutary one. JENNIE I3ARLTROP. TWO CORONATIONS. That of Xing William IV King Edward VII. Severity -one years ago, April, 1831 Xing William IV. went down to dis- solve Parliament during the great tumult occasioned by the reform bill. In the robing -room of the House of Lords he said :- "Lord Hastings, I wear the crown; where is it ?" The crown was brought to tire ; but when. Lord Ilastings was going to put it on his head he said, "No- body shall put the crown on my head but myself." Ile put it one and then said to Lord Grey, "Now., my lord, the coronation is over.", As William had never been crowned, he should not have worn the crown: George Villiers, who was one e the spectators, said that as the king took his seat ppon the throne of the House, with the loose crown upon his head and tee tall, gaunt Ogle:* of Lord Grey close beside him, the sword of state 'in his hand, it looked as if the king had his exeeti- tioner by his side, and the whole might be an augury of the reign. In the following summer, when it was decided that a public corona- tion was essential, the king gave orders that it be "short and cheap." Informality and economy wih1 not characterize the coronation plans of the man next after William to be crowned King of England. Edward VIIintends that the day shall be a fete not only to the favored specta- tors In Westminster Abbey, but to every inhabitant of his realm. Ile will himself give a vast dinner to the poor of London, which example will be imitated throughout naany cities ; beacon -fired will be lighted c11 the hills, and illuminations, free concerts and spectacles will malee the day memorable. A further contrast appears between the attitude of the wives oi Wililam and of his great-nephew, Edward. Queen Adelaide told Charles Greville that she would bare eone el their crowns ; she did not like to wear "a, hired crown'? She had jewels en - ugh of her own, and would have them Maxie up to Suit herself. "You will have to pay for it," suid William, slyly, to the young clerk of the privy council. "ere," interrupted queen tide - !aide, "I shall pay for it Myself," In the crown of Queen Alexandra, on the contrary, will sparkle Eng- land's chief jewels, the magnificent Bohinoor diamond, which Alexandra will not scorn as "hired." Neither will she pay for the settieg of jewels in her eerenatioa crown oat of her private peeemeney. and MILES OP SALT ROCIC.
