darkness tea light more than ever,
Gornean kept in secret places dur-
ing the day, and only ventured out,
with other human vulture's, at. night.
The wretched ruan feared the dark-
ness too, although he sought it, and
what- between the darkness that be
feared yet courted, and the light that
he feared and fled from, and the
light within that he feared but Could
not fly from, he became one of the
most miserable of all outcasts in
London.
As for his deep -laid plans, they
were ail scattered to the winds. In
the preoulaption of ignorance be had
fancied that he knew his own. power,
and so in one sense he did, but he
was not aware of his own want of
power. He knew, indeed, that he
had the brute courage to dare and
do anything desperate and dastardly,
but he did not know that he lacked
the moral courage to bear the con-
sequences of his deeds. The insure
an.ce policies, therefore, lay unclaira-
ece—even uncared for 1
Another change for the worse ef-
fected by time was the death of Loo
Auberly. Gradually and gently her
end approached. Death was so slow
in corning that it was long expected,
yet it was so eery slow that when
it came at last it took her friends by
surprise. James Auberly continued
stiff and stately to the last. He re-
fused to believe teat his child was
dying, and spared no expense to pro-
vide everythieg that money could
procure to restore her health. He
alto refused to be reconciled to his'
son Fred who had succeeded in bis
loved profession beyond' his expecta-
tions, and who had sought, again
and again, to propitiate his father.
At last Fred resolved to go abroad
and study the works of the ancient
masters. He corresponded regulaily
with Loci for some time, but his let-
ters suddenly ceased to make their
appearance, and nothing was heard
of him for many months.
During the long and weary illness
Loo had three friends whose edeits
were to her soul like gleams of sun-
shine on a cloudy day --Miss Tippet,
Burma Ward, and a poor artificial -
flower maker named Ziza Cattley.
T.hose three, so different yet so
like, were almost equally agreeable
to the poor invalid. Miss Tippet
was "so funny but so good," and
lettema's sprightly nature seemed to
charm away her pain for a lime,
while grave, gentle, earnest Ziza
made her happy during her visits,
and left a sensation of happiness af-
ter she went away. All tbree were
equally untiring in tallting with her
about the 'told, old story"—the, love
of Jesus Christ.
Yes, it comes to this at last, if not
at firste with all of us. Even the
professed infidel, laugh as he may in
the spring tide of life, usually listens
to that 'told, old story" when We's
tide is very low, if not with faith at
least with serietteness, and with .
hope that it may be true. May be
true ! Why, if tbe infidel would
only give one tithe of the tiette and
trouble and serious inquirer to the
investigation of that same old story
and its credentials that he gives so
freely to the study of the subtleties
of his art and profession., he would

stiffness, of dames Auberly gage way,
-and the stern man leaning his head
upon. the cofan, as he sat ebone au
the darkened room, wept as if he had
been 'a little child.
There was yet another change
beetled about by that great over -
turner Time. But as the ehange to
which we refer affects those who have
yet to take a prominent part in our
tale, we will suffer them ..to speak
for themselves.
One afternoon, lang after the occur-
renee of those changes to which re-
ference hae just - been made, Mrs.
• Wielders, wade seated quietly at her
own fireeide (although there was no
i fire there, the month being June),
!was interrupted in her not unusual
:though innoceut occupation of darn-
ing eockseby 'the- abrupe, eotrance of
her son Frank, who flung his cap on
the tektite2 kissed his mother on the
forehead, and then flung himself on
the sofa, which piece Of furniture be-
'ing old and decrepit, groaned under
'Ills weight. •
"Mother," be ex.clahnecl with ani-
mation, "I've got strange news to
tell you. Is Willie- at home ?"'
"No, but I expect him every min-
ute. Ile premised to come home
earlier to -day,, and ,wonet be long,
for he is a boy of his word."
Mrs. Welders persisted in calling bee
strapping -sons "boys," despite the
evidence to the contrary on their
cheeks and chins.
"Here he comes 1" creed Frank, as
a rapid Step was heard.
Next moment the door Verse open
and Wilie, performing much the same
ceremony that Frank had done, and
in a wonderfully similar way, said
he had come home ' with something
strange to tell, though not alto-
gether strange either, as his mother,
he said, knew soniething about it
already.
Mrs. Willders smiled and glanced at
Frank. •
"Which is to begin firs't ?" she
asked.
"What:- do you know about it too?
cried .Willie, turning to his brother.
"Know about what ?" said Frank.
"You have not told me what•it is;
;how can I answer you ?"
I "About Mr. Auhelly," said.eVillie,
IFrank said that he knew notbitg
new or peculiar about him, except
I that he was—no, he wouldn't stet*
I anything had of him, for must be a
Imiserable mane at that time.
"But out with your news, Willie,"
he added, "mine will keep; and - -as
yours is, according to yourself, part-
ly known already to my mother, it's
as well to fluish off .one subject ' be-
fore we begin another. -
"Oh, then, you have news too,
have you?" said Winie.
Frank nodded.
"Strange coincidence !" exclaimed
"Did you ever hear of a coincidence.
that was not strange., lad? Go on
with your news, else I'll begin before
you."
Thus admonished, Willie began.
"Oh, mother, you're a nice deceiv-

and you sit there with a face as
meek and sweet and smiling as if
you had never deceived. anybody in
all your life, not to speak of your

As Mrs. Winders still 's -railed and
went an with her knitting serenely,
without vouchsafing a reply, eVillie
continued with an off -hand air—
"Well then, I only as well tell you
that I have else had an intereiew

Mrs. Wellclers was indeed sutprised.
Her serenity of aspect fled in an in-
stant. . .
"Oh, Willie, how, genies it that

mean to tell you, I promised I never
would, I must have let it out in-
advertently, or when rwas asleep."

etThere is :very little 'to 'tell, lad.
I got a very urgent meseage the day
before yesterday to go to see an old
lady who was very ill. I 6e -tabled
leave for anhour and went at once,
not knowing who it was till I got
there., when 1 found it was Mrs.
'beamam She loolrecl very ill, and
do assure you I felt quite unmanned
when I loolced into her little • old
face. 'Young man,' she said, in a
lbw voice, 'you saved my life; I am
dying,and have sent for you to
thank You. God bless you.' She
put out her thin hand and tried to
shake mine, bat it was eoct feeble;
she could only press her fingers on
it. That was all that 'Passed, and I
returned to the station feeling quite
in lbw spirits, I do assire you. Well,
next day a lithle man in black called,
and said be wished to have a few
words with me. So 1 wene, out, ond
Xis introduced himself as the old
lady's lawyer, told me that she was
gone, and that she had, almost with
her last breath made him promise to
go, the moment she was dead, and
see ehe firemau who had saved her
life, and tell him that she lacul left
her fortune to him. He congratulate
ed me; said thee there were no near
relations to feel aggrieved or to dis-
pute nay rights..and that, as soon
as the proper fegal seeps had been
taken—the debts and legacies paid,
etc.—he would have the pleasure of
handing over the balance, which
would probably amount to twenty
tb.ousand pounds. '
"It's like a dream," said Willie.
"So it is," replied Frank, "but it's
well that it is not a deertme for if I
had been the penniless man that Mr.
Aaberly thinks rne, I would have
been obliged in honor to give np
-Emma Ward."
"Give ) her up 1" exclaimed Willie
in amazement, "Why ?"
"Why 1 because I could not think
of standing in the way of her good
fortune."
"Oh, Frank.! oh Blouse" said
-Willie sadly, "has money told on you
so fearfully alreedy ? Do you think
that she would give you up for the
sake of A-libel-13es dross?"
"I believe not., lad; lbut—but—well
a:melte nfiad, we won't be troubled
with the question now, But, moth-
er, you don't seem to think much of
nay good fortune."
• "I do think much of it, Frank; it
has been sent to you by the ,Lord,
and therefore 'is to be received with
thanksgiving. But sudden good for-
tune of this kind is very dangerous.
It makes nae anxious as well as
g-1 act ."
At that moment there came a loud
knocking at the door which,startled
Mrs. Willdera and caused Willie
leap up and rush to open it.
Frank rose and put on his cap with
the quiet promptitude of a man ace
costomed to alarms,
"That's a fire, mother; the kind
of knock is quite familiar to mallow.
Don't be alarmed; we hear that kind
of thing abotet two or three times a
day at the station; they knew I was
here, and have sent a messenger."
"A fire et cried Willie, runniOg into
the room in great excitement.
"Tut, led," said Frank, with a
smile.„ as he nodded to his another
and left the room, "you'd •never do
for a fireman, you're 'too excitable.
Where's the messenger ?—ah, here, you
are. Well, where is it ?"
"Toolcy Street," exclaimed a man,
whose condition showed that he had
run all the way. ,
Frank started, and looked very
grave, as he said hurriedly, to his
brother—
"Good-night, lade I won't likely be
alale to gat out to -morrow to talk
over this matter of the fortune. Fires
are usually bad in that neighborhood
Look ,well after mother, Good-
night."
In another, merneret he was gone.
And well might Frank look grave,
for when a fireman is called to a fire

docks, he knows 'thatbe is about to

POISONS ON THE FARM,
Accidents ore common, in dealing
with or getting rid of poisonous
drugs; and in clisposieg of allY
poison no longer required, or abolat
whose indentity any doubts are ea-
tertabled, care should be taken that
they are effectually destroyed, or
they may turn, up again in uuexPeee
ted fashion, and become agents for
mischief. The writer remembers a
case in which a stick of phosphorus
was thrown out of the back door
and forgotten for scene time. Later
on several hens• wore found dead,
and these were boiled up with tho
wa,sh for the pigs. Next, two fine
sows were found to be ill. Nothing
could be made of their symptoms;
some hap -hazard treatments for
their relief failed, and both died.
A post-mortem examination wee de-
termined on, and as soon as the
first one Was opened the cause of
the death was at once apparent --it
smelled like a match factory. This
led to an examination of the con-
tents of the 'washtub, 'the remains ot
the poisoned hens were raked out,
an,d finally the piece of phosphorus
was found among the bushes late
which, it bad been thrown.
Every bottle tin or package ought
to be distinctly labeled with -the
name of the drug it contains,and
if peisonous, with the word "Pois-
on," preferably with tb,e regulation
label with red letters on a black- or
white ground. Labels will become
defaced by, the action of time and
dirty handling, and damp will cause
them to drop off, so that when nec-
essary they should be renewed. "A
few "blank slips" and "poison" la-
bels can be obtained from the chem-
ist from which the farmer obtains
his supply of drugs, or, if not, any
slip of white paper plainly written
on with the name of the drug-, anti
pasted or gummed on the pacicage,
is better than nothing.
Ali medicines should be kept in
a• special cupboard, in a dry place,
and under lock and key, and the
key should not leave the custody of
som.e responsible person, preferably
the owner or somebody who under-
stands at least something about the
nature of drugs. This is a useful
plan, not only as a measure of pre-
caution against the misuse of, or
accidents with, poisons, but because
nearly all medicinal agents deterior-
ate itt. quality by keeping la paper
packets, or in a damp place, and
neatly are entirely spoiled, and be-
come practically inert, by exposure
to a stron,g light, to the air, or in a
damp place. •
'YARDING POULTRY. e
While it is desirable to keep
young chickens in free range as long
they are healthier and grow better
as possible, owing to the fact that
from the exercise tbey take, as well
as from the greater variety of food,
in bugs and' insects, thus obtained.
yet there comes a time in their
growth when it will be found more
advantageous to place them .in
yards.
When 'the mating instinct begins
to manifest itself the sexes should
be separated and the females placed
in one yard and the males in an-
other. They will then be found to
grow much more rapidly until the
time collies to make a final disposi-
tion of them either for the market,
the table, or the selectionof stock
to be kept for the ensuing. year.
If they are thus confined in yards
for a few days until they become
accustomed to their surroundings,
they can be given free range alter-
nately, one yard one day and the
other the next, and they will then
return to their own yard and house.
If the plan is followed it wili be
found to avoid the trouble caused
by -the chickens selecting roosting
places, such as those .in trees, un-
der sheds and on wagons. 11 left
to themselves they become attached
to these places and will return to
them in all kinds of weather, thus
making themselves liable to disease,
through exposere,as well as causing
inconvenience in some 'places by the
litter they leave.
After having become attached to
these roosts it is hard to get them
to stay in a house, and a good deal
of trouble to their owner is the re-
sult.
If a little care is taken of their
management in this regard in the
beginning, it usually saves a, good
deal of trouble in the end, unless'
the method is followed of letting the
chiekens • shift almost entirely for
themselves, in which case they deter-
iorate into veritable .jungle fowls,
with more tendency to disease than
to the laying of -eggs.

"Dairying is confining." The cows,
al:est be 'Milked twice every day,
rain or .shine, warm or cold. To
few is it a pleasant task to milk
when the thermometer is hovering
around the zero mark, or up around
tee 90 degree mark; when the per-
spiration runs in rivulets down 0:tete
face, and the cow's body seems like
furnece, while her tail, is almost
eolith -wally flirted in his face in an
effort to dislodge a few more or
less troublesome flies. If one has
net sufficient liking for dairy cows,
and interest in her possibilities, to
put up with those things, 'keep out.'
They may be lessened by warm,
stables itt winter and cool, dark
ones in summer, but as yet 210 ma-
chine has taken the .place of luau's
hand as a seccessfel milkieg device.
Too often .dairying is not profi-
table because it is done on such a
small scale 'Cat it does not peer to
haVe the conveniences to do • it
right. The cowsare not properly
housed, their ration is riot well se-
lected because it is not worth while
to bur feed for only two or three
cows, the milk suffers becausa there
is not.enough to warrant the build-
ing of a suitable milk -room or
house, . The cream is not ripened
properlY, the churning is hurried,
because it don't pay to spend time
when the butter 'all sells for the
same price anyway.
BEEF CATTLE.
Professor Paneel urges that live
stock farming is the most printable.
Ile says:
• It has been demonstrated both
by experience and practice that, the
farmer who sells beef, pork and
mutton that he has produced from
the corn and grass 'faised and fed
on the" farm makes more money per
acre of his land and per dollar of
his capital than the one who grows
only wheat or corn or cotton and
sells it. It is not necessary to en-
tirely discontinue raising these
crops, but if we are to produce a
surplus to be sold in foreign mar-
kets it is best to export that sur-
plus in the, most condensed end mar-
ketable form •as meat and animal
products rather than in the orapnal
crude and bulky state. ' -
"In the long run the farmer will
make the most money who devotes
his fields to the growing for forage
crops to feed steick, making use of
• ell the raw products at home, there-
by saving not only much of the cost
of transportation, but maintaining
the fertility of the soil. By doing
so corn belt farmers will maintain
their -pre-eminently in agricultural'
lines. Experience of the past few
months has shown that the men who
stuck to feeding and were not temp-
ted by high prices to sell their cern
have made the most money,. Any-
thing that 'will enhance the produc-
tive capacity of our soils, for the
production of forage conditions will
help the farmer."
HELPING TITE LAelle DOG,
"I am glad your name ie Mary,"
Read Mr. Slowcoach to his sweet-
heart, whom he had been courting
for several years.
"Why so?" he asked,
"Because 1 was reading to -day,
and came across a line which said,
'Mary is the sweetest name that
woman ever bore.'
"That is poetically expressed. I've
heard my father say it to mother,
whose name is Mary. It is from
some poet, isn't it?"
"I believe so."
"But I've heard my father say
there was e-ven a sweeter name than
Mary."
"I think be must have been raise
talceti," said the lover, as he tender-
ly pressed his 'sweetheart's hand.
"No; I don't think he was MIS -
taken."
"What was the other name?
A beautiful blush suffused the
maiden's cheek, the silken lashes fell,
and veiled the lovely eyes, and, in
a torte as soft as the whisperinge of
an Aeolic& harp, she murmured—
"Wife!" •
• The cards are ant.
NEW USE FOR BAGPIPES.
A new use for the begpipes has
been fountl—by a Scotsman, too. A
Highlander who owns a sheep farm
in a Inountainous district of Califor-
nia is ie the habit, almost daily • of
playing his pipes all over the ground.
rrhe skilling has had the happy effect
of scaring eagles put of the locality,
in, which these birds of prey had foe-
merly done coreeicleroble damage by
carrying off Iambs and even grown
eheep. '
