"1 think I had the pl asure of. meeting you at Sir George Barrfe," said the latter, sn and the two gentlemen .oke a lrle apart, while Marsden took up'and examed some old Dresden on the mantel piece. " What a pretty place," said Mrs. Ruth. yen, looking out on the lawn. "But the view is a little limited, is it not, Mr. Mars- den ? You must feel rather • triste,' my dear Miss L'Estrange, shut up here after the freedom of life abroad ?" "Life is much freer here, I aesure you. I can go in and out as I like; and I find so much to do, the day is not long enough." " When you are a little older and ambi-• tion begins to wake," said Mrs. Ruthven, r with a caressing smile," " you will sigh for a wider sphere -and, no doubt, find it." "Ah I' exclaimed Nora, her heart over- flowing with a vague, delicious, unaccount- able sense of pleasure, "1 believe lam in- capable of ambition. Why should I trouble about anything beyond nty present state? I have an I want, all I cani poesibly wish for ; if I need a little chango, I can travel awhile -but always with! the delicious sense of having a home ready fee me. I look upon myself as a very lucky glrl." •Mrs. Ruthven laughed lightly, with a tinge of mockery. "1 have at least seen one contented individual," e e said, throwing a languishing glance to _M rsden, who came to her side. r - " I am glad to have ben able to introduce you to a happy valley, which the princees, its possessor, does net, pine to leave," he said. . "I should like to have a look at your gardens, Nora," remarked Lord Dorring- ton. "By all means. Will you come, Mrs. Ruthven?" •she asked. "And we shall have tea when we come Mrs. Ruthven Ruthven hesitated. She felt tired ; but she saw Marsden was going, and she did not like to stay behind. • It bored ber to be obliged to drag round the pleasure grounds and srnall kitchen garden -to listen to Lord Dorrington' e disquisition on espali- ers and wall fruit ---and queries as to how the farm was managed. Then the cooks and hens and ducks were visited -even a neatly kept pig, and a couple of sweet, pa- tient looking oows'whose heads Nora rub- bed as though she had; never been away from her coentry home, ii Lord Dorrington qui1e enjoyed poking about -and• even Mars en seemed unac- countablyinterested in the rubbishy details of the paltry little place., .So Mrs. Ruthven determined to occupy herself with Mark Winton. , "1 ram afraid you 'do not .remember me, Mr. Winton," she said, with a gentle Emile, showing her pearly teeth'. ".Oh, yes !" raising hie bat ; "I perfectly remember having had the pleasure of meet- . . injeyou at Simla -when I was staying with Colonel Deere and his wife." s "Ah, -yes -to be sure," with a -alight change of color. "1 forgot that I had seen t you there, It was of the winter at Delhi, , Y when my poor husband's regiment was quartered there, I spoke., But now you have mentioned the Daores-e-what has be- oome of them ?" " Mrs. Deere is dead," said Winton, shortly ; " and Deere is married again." " Ah !" she returned, with a sigh, " the dead are soon forgotten." • ) "And the living, often, not much con- sidered," added Winton, dryly. "What a bright raidant creature that Mies L'Estrange looks !" saidthe fair wid- ow, sweetly, after a moment's remise. "Is she really so aontented with her, secluded home as she seems ?" "1 see no reason to doubt it." . "Then, depend upon it, her heart is filled and satiefied, in some way, or by eoine one," and she glanced at, Marsden, Who was stroking& little black kitten that Nora had picked tip. _ , Win -ton's eyes followed hers, but he made no reply, and then the young proprietress suggested going in to' tea, as she was sure Mrs. Ruthven looked tired. • I A tempting tea -table was 'spread with toast and hot cakes, and the cenvereation grew lively, and even noisy, as the prospects of ,the bail were discussed. At last the evening begen to darken, and Lady Dor- rington proposed their returning.1 "You look pale and weary," aid Mars- den, in a - low voice' to Mrs. Ruthven; "stay here, and I willvend the pony car riage over for you." 11 • t, ot o. 0 al of 50 tn of te re• of n- 50 n. ed oe ed in.

Fear, drug- gist, Seaforth„ Striking illustration of the Effect of Underdraining, Speaking of the importance of neder- draining at the Fermens Institute meeting at Warkworth, Henry Glendinuing *aid: "Ono day, in early spring, when the tem- perature of the atmosphere was 08 degrees in the shade and 85 degrees in the sun, I put a. thermometer three inches in the soil, directly above a drain on my farm. I found the temperature there 71 degrees, or three degrees above the temperature in the shade above ground. I put the instrument on the ground, where the darlentse of the soil indicated excessive moisture, and it registered 68 degrees. I put it in four rods from the drain and it registered 67' degrees. I put it in the soil a considerable distance off, beside a fence running along- side a awamp, and found the ternpereture there was 61 degrees. I tes'ed the water running alongeide a swamp. and found the temperature there was 61 degrees, I tested the water running from the drain I have referred to, and found the temperature of that water to be 50 degrees. Thue the well drained land was throe degrees warmer than that partially, drained, and ten degrees warmer than that which, was very wet. Only a few plants will groW in a temperature below 45 to 48 &Trees, and wbeat will not grow until the temperature - is up to about 54 degrees. You see by the test I have referred to how important ate effect draining has in bringing the tempera- ture of the land, at an early period in spring, up to the growing point. It seems si gular, but it is ;nevertheless , true. that sin ell -drained land not only warnis earlier in ring, but it holds moisture better during # a period of drouth."
