" Wasn't it pleasant to have our little lady beck at table, again ?' - "Very," said Staniford. "I couldn't help thinking how droll it was that a person whom we all con- sidered a sort of incumbrance and super- leity at first ehould really turn out an object of prime importance to us all. Isn't it emerging ?" "Very droll." " Why, we were quite toot without her, at breakfast. I couldn't have im- agined het taking such a hold upon us all,in so eh ert a time. But she's a pretty creature, and as• good as she's Fatty- 17 " remember agreeing with you on those points before." Staniford feigned to suppress fatigue. Dunham observed him. I know you don't take as much interest in her as—as the rest of us do, and I wish you did. You don't know what a lovely nature she 18." "No; and I.'m sure you'd like her." "Is it important that I should like her ? Don't let your enthusiasm for the sex carry you [beyond bounds, prran.:. Not important, but very pleasant. And I think acquaintance with such a girl would give you some new ideas 6f women." "Oh, my old ones are good enough. Look here, Dunham," ,said Staniford, sharply, " What are you after ?" " What makes you think - I'm after snything ?" "Because you're not a humbug, and because I am. My depraved spirit in- stantly recognized the dawning duplic- ity of yours. But you'd better be honest. Yon can't make the other thing work. What do you want ?" "I want your advice. I want your help, Staniford." "I thought so ! Coming and forgiv- ing me in that—apostolic manner." "Well. What do you want my help for? What have you been doing ? ' Staniford paused, and suddenly added: "Have you been making lave to Lur- ella ?" He said this in his ironical manner,but his smile Wa8 rather ghastly. "For shame, Staniford !" cried Dun- ham. But he reddened violently. "Then it isn't with Miss Hibbard that you want my help. I'm glad of that. It would have been awkward. I'm e little afraid. of Miss Hibbard. It Isn't every one has your courage, my dear fello w." "I haven't been making love to her," ,said Dunham, " but—I " "Bat you what" demanded Staniforcl sharply again. There had been less tension of voice in his joking about Miss Hibbard. "Staniford," said his friend, "1 don't know whether you noticed her, at din- ner, when she looked across to our own side rt "What did she do ?" " DiC1 you notice that she—well, that she blushed. a little i" Staniford waited a while before he answered, after a gulp, "Yes, I noticed that." Well, I don't knew how to put it exactly, but I'm afraid that 1 have un- wittingly wronged this young girl." "Wronged her? What the devil do you mean, Dunham ?" cried Staniford, with bitter impatience. I'm afraid—I'm afraid— Why, it's simply this: that in trying to &rause her, and make the time pass agreeably, and relieve her mind, and all that, don't you know, I've given her the impreesion that I'm—well—interested in her, and that she may have allowed herself—in- sensibly, you know—to look upon me in that light, and that she may have be- gun to think—that she may have be- come "— "Interested in you ?" interruptdd Staniford rudely. " WeIl—ah—well, that ie—ah—well —yes !" cried Dunham, bracing himself to sustain a shout of ridicule. But Staniferel did not laugh, and Dunham had courage to go on. "Of course, it sounde rather conceited to say so, but the circumstances are so peculiar that I think we ought to recognize even any possibilities of that sort ?" '0h, yes," said Staniford; gravely. "Most women, I believe,are so innocent ,es to think a man in love when he be- haves like a lover. And this one," he added ruefully, "seems more than com- monly ignorant of our ways,—of our in- fernal shilly-shallying, purposeless no - mindedness. She couldn't imagine a aran—a gentleman—devoting himself to her by the hour, and trying by every art to show hie interest and pleasure in her society, without imagining that he wished her to like him,—love him; there's no half -way about it. She couldn't suppose him the shallow, dawd- iingooulless senseless ape he really was."' Staniford was quite in a heat by this time, and Dunham listened in open astonishment. "Von are hard upon me," he said. "Of course, I have been to blame ; I know that, I acknowledge it. But my motive, as you know well enough, was never to amuse myself with her, but to contribute in any way I could to her en- joyment and happiness, I "— You !" cried Staniford. " What are you talking about ?" "What are you talking about ?" de- manded Dunham in his turn. Stanifordrecollected himself. "J wee apeaking of abstract flirtation. I was firing into the air." In my case, I don't choose to call it flirtation," returned Dunham. My pur- /*se, I am bound to ray, was thoroughly unselfish and kindly." "My dear fellow," said Staniford, With a bitter smile, "there can be no uneelfishness and no kindliness between lie and young girls, unless we mean business,—leve-making. You may be sure that they feel it so,•if they don't understand it so." "1 don't agree with you. I don't believe it. My own experience is that the sweetest and most generous friend- ships my exist between us, without a thought of anything else. And as to making love I must beg you to remem- ber that my love, has been made once for all,, 1 never dreamt of showing Miss Blood any thing bat polite attention." "Then what are you troubled about ?" am troubled' —Dunham stopped helplesely, and Staniford laughed in a shallenging, disagreeable way, so that the former perforce resumed troubled about—about her possible mist interpretation," (To be continued.) Over the Line. This evening I heard of a story, Something quite novel and new, Containing at least one good lesson, And, better than all, it's true; So if you'll give me a monient's time I'll try to tell it to you in rhyme. 'Tis said that a. znan, not long ago, Stood on a quiet side street, With his head bowed low before him, Shuffling the bricks at his feet; And this the cause of hie knotted brow, 'Which way shall I take? I must decide. now.', A glance at his face would have shown you The battle raging within, And told the important question was, Which side shall the victory win? Standing there, his hand o'er his eyes, An object of pity and much surprise. "1 will either go ,to the theater, And have a good time to -night, Or else with the circle of prayer I'll meet, And see that my soul is nght ; I can't take both—that's what bothers me Churoh or theater, which shall it be ?" Then with a sudden impulse he cried, "1 have it 1 I'll draw a line ; - On little things great destinies turn, Perhaps Otis may decide mine; At all events, .1 can only try; Some settle things quickly—why not 1?" Then curiously peeping upward - From among the shadows dark, He stooped and with chalk upon the ground Drew boldly a long white mark; Drew it eery strong and straight, indeed, Like one who had firmly resolved to succeed. "The side of the line on which I etand To the theater belong ; The other side is the church of God, And is paved with prayer and songs, And whether 111 take the wrong or right, This line shall decide for me tonight. If I stay this side of the chalk print It will lead me to the play ; If on the opposite side I step I shall join with those who pray, So it comes down to a point very fine— Shall 1 stay, or go across the line? "The path 1 conclude to take to -night—" He said it o'er and o'er— Tho path I conclude to take to -night I'll walk in forever more. My mind must decide all clear and straight, Before the clock in the tower strikes eight." For more than an hour he stood there, Stood like one sorely perplexed, Striving to weigh in the balance The wealth of this world and the next; Which in the scales would fall, which rise, Earth's glory, or that beyond the skies? I think that God's beautiful angels Must have seen him standing there, And wafted their blessed influence Straight down from the realms of air; For, like one urged on by power divine, Boldly' the man stepped over the line. Over the line! 'Twits a little act, But how much it meant God knows, For it saved a soul from eternal death, And covered s thousand woes. It filled a heart with gladness and joy, And gave pure gold in exchange for alloy. It took but a moment to cross it, He might have done it before; But, once beyond that white chalk znark, He was there forever more : And into his eyes soft lights will shine Whene'er he speaks of crossing the line. * * * This is the story I heard to -night, And to me it meant so much; Many there are near the border line, So near that their feet must touch ; Weighing the worth of the soul with drose, Weighing earth's joys with that of the cross. Many there are who are faltering here, And struggling with doubts and pride, Knowing the path that's best, but afraid To crow to the other side; Oh, strongly I urge you, dear friend of mine, Leave everything else—step over the line !

The earth, traveling in its orbit around the sun and onward With the entire solar system around some unknown and still greater center of atraction, is constant- ly traversing new regions of space,whieh it depletes of meteoric dust and meteor, ites, thus steadily—no matter how slowly—increasing in diameter, Now let this growth continue till the earth has just twice the attractive power which it now possesses, we should then have twice the number of meteorites and double the quantity of dust falling an- nually upon it as now. Fortunately for our heads; the earth has not yet attained very formidable di- mensions, but we may look upien it, as an established fact, that it constantly THE H URON EXPOSITOR. gain* in weight, and that in proportion to such whin its attractive power steadily increases. The attractive force of the sun is so enormous that a perpetual hail of mete- orites and a torrent of dust -particles must rush upon it from all directiomeand Come of the foremost observers are now of opinion that these falling bodies are the sole cause of the sun's heat. In the light of this theory our earth is a young and growing, not an old and flying, planet—a planet with a future; which ought to be cheerful news to all of us; although we shall not live to reap the benefit of it; and the sun, far from being on its last legs as an expiring luminary, is steadily gaining in heat and lighting capacity.—American Geologist. • Feeding Hens. A correspondent of the Detroit Free Press has attended the meeting of a ladies' society, and thus relates the knowledge gained there: It was tint after dinner. We had been discussing the way to salt butter, the society's new carpet and a few of our neighbors—those who were not present, you know. There was a lull in the conversation and someone asked Mrs. Harris if her hens were laying. Now, I was interested ; for sometime I intended to give up school teaching and devote my energies to the poultry business, so I dropped my work and leaned back in my chair to listen. My interest was so great I forgot my beloved crazy quilt in my lap, even though I was briar stiching with crimson around diamond of lemon colored satin on which my artist friend, Jessie, had painted a tiny window scene' but Mrs. Harrie' reply was drownedfor Mrs. Blake began at once: " Thal reminds me what a etupid Jim was yesterday. I told him to bring me a bag of oats and corn from the mill for the chickens, and woeld you believe he brought me rye and corn ! • Just think, rye !" Rye is good for fowls," said Mrs. Hope. "Good indeed !" and Mrs. Blake's voice continued to rise. "4a if I did not nearly kill my hens last spring feed- ing them rye, and not an egg did I get !" "-But you should have cooked it." "I—did. Kept a kettle of rye stewing on the stove half the time." "Rye is good for fowls," decided Mrs. Smith, "but should be iniied with other food, corn, bran and wheat." "Bran !" the defender of rye was ar- roused now; " never feed that !" "Why, Mrs. Hope," said mother, "1 feed bran—scalded, you know." "-I tried it," firmly declared Mrs. Hope, "and six as noble hens as ever walked were sacrificed," she was grow- ing dramatic, "found cold and dead ! Don't talk bran -to me." " What do you feed, Mrs. Harris ?" Mrs. Harris is a meek, quiet little woman, and I firmly believe she is afraid of a hen ; but she firmly ans- wered, "corn, oats, and we often give them green food. Lena thinks they lay !better." , "That is nonsente." Deacon Har- Iman'a wife had remained quiet until now. "1 tell you, ladies, what hens Want to make them lay is a warm hen- house." "Hope springs eternal in the human breast.' I was getting confused, but this seemed clear enough. "A warm hen house." Oh! I could build that— or hire a man to—hard! Mrs. Blake is growing sarcastic. "Guess they would lay on the ground if that was all you give 'em. I always, have eggs when I don't feed rye, and I stick to corn and oata ground together and give 'em plenty of sour milk." "Give them what ?" demanded Miss Ray, a vinegar -visaged maiden lady, "Sour milk." " Well, never do it again. It will kill 'em sure as death." "Not if ayou give them plenty of charcoal," said Mrs. Smith. "Do you suppose, Lorena Smith, I would say so if I did not know it? I have tried it and I guess that settles the matter !" "Hope, child," calls mother, " our horse is ready and we muat go." I gathered up the neglected -crazy work and put on my wraps, thinking over the useful information I have gained, and, as I have said before, I re- solved eto share my information with you all. Failed to Connect. A Hamilton man bent on speculation recently made a large purchase of wheat on margin With a Chicago commissien houge. The firm were to telegraph him the quotations, and a clerk was told to give him a cipher key, but forgot it. When he got home he found the tele- graph awaiting him— "Opened disgust." He was -surprieed, for the message seemed_ nonsense. A little later came enother— " Disgusted." Later still another— Disgusting." By this time he was getting mad, and wired back— "1 should say it was disgusting. What do you mean Before _ he had fairly got his answer on the wires there came another mes- sage— " Disheartened." So was the Hamilton man, so he wait- ed and did not answer. But when an- other message came in, "Dishonest," he sent back word— "1 don't dispute it. I think you are crazy, Sell all my wheat at once." The answer came back— ,Sold just in time. Now disgorge." To say .that the Hamilton man was mad would be putting it mildly. He took the train that night for Chicago to see what it meant, and when he found out, treated all around. Disgust meant 99`gc.; Disgusted, 99ic.; disgusting, 100c.; disheartened, 100c.; di. honest, 1001c.: and disgorge:99ic.—Hamilton (Can) Herald. Does It Pay Horace Mann once make a statement at a public meeting of a certain charity in Boston, that if only one boy was saved the outlay would be justified. After the meeting two gentlemen were walking together, arm in arm, when one said to the other, " Don't you think that Horace Mann's statement was rather an exaggeration? After a brief silence the other replied, "No, not if the boy saved was my boy." IMPORTANT NOTICES PARTNER WANTED. — Experienced, with some capital for established Dry Goods business in a g000 town.
