ONE NAN'S POISON AN,
' OTHER MAN'S FOOD.
Nearly alt the poets and members
•of'the literary profession have been
zitddicted to tobacco in one form or
another. Milton dearly loved his
• pipe : Addison, Congreve, Philip',
Erio'r a,nd Steele smoker} prodigious
1y. Sir WalterScatt smokedand
*co did Campbell. Beattie, C unp-
1 ll's biographer, says : "Tobacco
pipes,
pipes, utingled with the literary
wares which filled every corner of
the hartl'.s sanctum." it has also
'been :-aid of him :
"Utnlpboll with leegthy p!p' in'liand,
Seemed like a god in. clover."
Moore, Byron, Hood and Carlyle
wore equally addicted to the "weed."
Lord Tennyson is said to be pir-
. titularly attache ( to a long church--
warden,
hurchwarden, a basketful of which is
placed by the sido'of his writing
tabfft, while on the other side is a
second basket. As soon as a pipe
tie finished, the poet throws it into
:the second basket and charges n
fresh one, which is treated in
lireeisely the same way when finish -
'ed with.
The philosopher ,Hobbes smoked
to excess and lived to be 92 ; while
.- Sir Isaac Newton, who was never
without his pipe, lived to green old
age and never lost but one tooth.
Samuel Parr Was invariably to be
discovered "half hidden by fuliginr
tins smoke a yard or so behind the
Cowl of a large churchwarden."
He smoked everywhere, even in the
company of ladies. Twentypipes
ref au evening was his limit, and he
never wrote well without tobacco.
As ho lived to the ripe old' age of 118
gears, it is pretty good proof that
immoderate use of tobacco is not
fatal.. -All the Year Round.
'PITTING POTATOES.
Where potatoes are to be kept
through the winter, and are not
wanted for market or use till spring,
a well -constructed pit out of doors
is the beat way to keep them.
Cellars aro always too warm, and
even a temperature of 500 starts
the eyes whether the cellar be light
or dark. In a dark cellar the
potatoes in a bin will be found
grown together if not examined
frequently. In out-of•door pits,
aimless the winter is extremely
warm scarcely an eye will have
started -.up to the tithe the pit is
ready to be opened. Such potatoes
Lor seed are worth double what the
?Sartre potatoes would be kept so
warm, that each eye has sprouted
and must have its original growth
broken off. It stands to reason
that this first growth has greater
vigor than will any one that starts
afterward. The pit should only be
aghtly' coveied and good ventitrt•.
tion be given up to thh time of
severe freezing. Just before that
ghat on another coat of straw over
die whole heap and covet with four
ear $ye inches depth of soil. If
weather below zero is threatened in
,giLluter draw a few loads of manure
'iFlla tete horse stables and giye the
list another covering. When thus
trebly covered there is little danger
that even zero weather will reach
dawn to freeze the potatoes. -

"Midi don't like," says Mrs. Grand -
court presently, "is the fact that they aro
not mother and daughter, or any relation at
all to ,each other. Mr. Barker exprepeiy
says that. It sounds as if the young -young
person, had a companion, who—
"Yon mean you. think the young person
is an actress," says \1r. 'Grandeourt, indo-
lently. "Well, the same thought has sug-
gested itself to me. But actresses are not
necessarily demoralizing, and- -"
"Yes, 1 know. And that Dower House
has beets• such a long time on hand," sup-
plements his mother with a sigh. Money
of late -has not been plentiful with the
Grandcourt:, and the old name, the old
property, so dear to the - gentle, fragile
woman sittiui at the head of her sort's
tante, seem likely to sink deeper and deeper
into the tide of debt and depression, until
finally the flood shall rise and sweep over
thein and down them altogether. Tho grand
old name! The name her dead husband had
given her! If Gerald would only' marry
some one with rank and nnon.;y too. Such
chw.ncos had beeniven him, blit Gerald
would take none of them.
"True, thou wisest of women!" says the
young man, rising with a slight smile that
has something of sadness in it, and gather-
ing up his letters. "The Dower House
m ust be let, and we are not in 0 position to
be too squeamish about the tenants of it.
Let your young person have it by all menus
for the three months she desires it. The
season is over; her engagement is at an end
no doubt ; she could recruit herself -,iii the
soft country air befero commencing a fresh
campaign. The dnenna will accompany
her. The glare of the footlights will know
her no more until November. This is Au-
gust, isn't it?"
"Oh, my dear Gerald, what a picture you
conjure up!" says poor Mss.. (,randcourt.
"An actress, and here, almost within one's
gates."
"Sonsense, mother !" stooping over ler
and kissing her. "Whet,'3 1[ecubat to ane,
or I to Hecuba? We needn't know her.
She can have my house --my other house,"
laughing, "toy garden and my trout stream,
but she shan't have me!“
011, ignorant young luau! * * *
The trout are shy to -day, or all too know-
ing, or have been at an alderman's feast in
troutland, because no pretty speckled (,•na-
ture comes to the call of the dainty fly that
Grandcourt has cast to them many and
many a time since early dawn. It is now
10 o'clock, and he, breakfastlese, hot, ill-
tempered, but filled with a determination
to do or die, turns a curve of the river and
finds himself ---
Face to face with rt quite young -girl, who
looks back at him out of two starry eyes
that reflect astonishment, but no bashful-
ness. She has been fishing, too, evidently,
and not so unsuccessfully as he. She is, in-
deed, just dropping a handsome trout of
half a pouutl or so into her basket as Grand -
court appears upon the scene. She stands
erect as he approaches her with his rod in
his hand and his empty basket slung across
his shoalder.
A little slow color creeps into her cheeks
as she gazes at him. Such a sweet gaze,
and such a sweet face to give it! Is this
slight, lovely girl his tenant -the actress?
This part of the river does belong to
me, doesn't it?" says she in a clear tone that
yet is suggestive of doubt, "I em not tres-
passing, am I?"
"No. I fear it is I who ata doing that,"
says he, "and I must apologize. I am,"
raising his hat, "speaking to Miss Bland?"
"Yes," says she, after a very perceptible
hesitation and with a quick blush.
"Halt -changes her name when she leaves
town," thinks Grandcourt to himself.
"Fights shy of the stage when off the
boards, poses as the orthodox English
maiden here." Yet he knows ho lies to
himself as he thinks this. Anything more
unlike posin than the attitude of this
frank, unembarrassed girl, who is standing
before ]riot, could not be imagined.
"And you?" says she. ''Ain I speaking
to my landlord?" she smiles as she asks
this.
"To that fortunate person," returns he,
smiling, too. She is so pretty that he for-
gets a good many things, and lets himself
slide into quite a friendly air with her; can
it be possible she has been here for three
weeks? Three weeks in near proximity to
him, and never until now to meet her.
• "You have been from home?'' says she
suddenly, in a gentle, interrogative man-
ner; breaking in upon his soliloquy.
"No," says he rashly.
"Oh ! I thought you had been, because -
because I had not seen you fishing any-
where on tliis river until to -day."
He can see, however, that the second "be-
cause" is not the real one. Good heavens !
had she supposed he would call? Had she
perhaps hoped through him to get introduc-
tions to the county. She ought to be made
to understand at once that, though he has
been willing to let her have his house for
the autumn, it does not at all follow that he
is prepared to acknowledge her as an equal
in any way. But how to make her under-
stand ? instead of the dignified speech he
feels he should now deliver, he is conscious
only of the hot crimson mounting to his
brow and of a miserable knowledge that he
does't in the least know what le is going to,
say next.
Ho is so distinctly embarrassed that she
gazes at him with sortie surprise. And he,
watching her, grows positive that 'she has
grasped his secret meaning. What a prig
she must think him ! Yet to call without
his mother would be an impertinence, and
to ask his mother to call upon an actress of
unknown antecedents would be a greater
impertinence still. Will she be angry?
Take it in bad part ? To his•nstouislunent,
as the truth dawns upon her, her lips
widen, a great gleam shoots into her eyes.
After one long struggle with herself she
bnrst out ]angling ! Laughing ! A sense
of injury, of offense, a quick flash to
Mr. Grandcourt's face. He frog ns slightly.
Jove when lie frowned shook the heavens!
But Miss Bland is so far unimpressed by
(]r,andcourt's frown that her laugh grows
into a L•ulyliko brat most rlecidi d little shont.
"Oh ! ] m so sorry," says she presently,
wiping her eyes. 'But a thought struck
me at that moment. An al: n rd thnn;ht,
and it led me nstray. Thoughts will do
that sometimes, won't they? Yes r' with

Marks." lie was very pear saying '"yours.;'
In his own mind he has na doeht that the
trout-leviug Mrs. Marks Is the inilther bf
this lovely girl. "I didn't ask her for wait
fur me. She will have forgotten her break -
feet by the tiine I get.hack to the court."
"Four miles from this, "istitt it?') sympa-
thetically.
"Quite that, even by the shortest routes"
"And hungry all -the 'way?" Her tone
has grown quite plaintive now. '
"Starving!" says he, laughing.
"Don't do it," says she earnestly. "Come
home with me. Mrs: Marks will give you
something to eat. 1 shall feel as if we had
been horribly inhospitable if you go away
from our very hall door starving."
She looks up at him with so oppen, so
sweet, so generous w glance that Grand -
court goes down before it. He hesitates,
and consequentlyis lost. She nicks up her
basket and. Gerald follows her to het hoose.
If he had been speculating on the trout LIS
the piece de resistance he is mightily mis-
taken. Little delicacies, trivial but costly,
are dotted all over the breakfast table.
There is no mistake about the cook! The
Gr,utdeourts of late years have not been
accustomed to the subdued but muletibtedly
reckless expenditure that marks every fea-
ture of the Dower House at present, and
Gerald, noting each sign of wealth, from the
soft carpet into which the foot sinks ;with
noiseless tread, trr the game pin, which is a
dream for any got -wince, and froth that to

some surprise.
But with all these is Mrs. Marks! A dear

woman, but not-er.-you know -not quite

000gt it.
Miss Bland, however, he has seen very
•often; and not always with t'e:r1 in hand.
There have been days when he met her
wandering fttr afield, searching for tlower.-a,
or else sitting in shady places engrossed in
a book. At first he haul given himself up
somewhat unconsciously to the delight of
seeing her; then, ars the truth slowly dawn-
ed upon him that he loved her, a passionate
revulsion of feeling had set in, and he swore
'to himself that whatever it might cost him
lie would not break his mother's heart or
lower the good old name by marrying a girl
NOLO--Who was she?
He kept away from her for the six longest
days that he had ever known, and now his
resolution fails him, and as he hurries to-
ward her across the grass to where, in the
little nook of the sweet meadow he can see
her sitting, bending over a volume, his
heart heats with so wild, so fierce an exulta-
tion that he knows the end has conte and
tliat he is hers alone, soul and body, for
now and for always -actress though she
be.
As she looks up at hien it strikes him she
is very pate, and that there are deep purple
shallows beneath her eyes. Her soft mouth
has taken a mournful droop, but as her gaze
meets his, and as she reads in his face some
strange change --a light that was not itt it,
surely, when last they parted -her whole ex-
pression alters; the pallor gives way to a
brilliant flush, and a happy laugh parts her
lips.
"You have come," cries she, joyously. "I
thought you had tired of the country and
none to Norway or some of those other
horrid places that men fancy nowadays."
"I have not tired of the country, says he
in a low tone. "And you ?"
"I am a worshipper of the green fields
and lanes," said she, gently. "I never
change. Do not hope for alteration in ole
on that score."
"Does that mean that I may look for it
somewhere else?" says he. regarding her
keenly. There is :-good deal of sorrow in
his gaze. He has given up the struggle,
but it still seems bitter to hint to put this
girl in the place his mother has held.
"For alteration ?"
He pauses, and his eyes wander from hers,
as though he has lost ]himself somewhat in
his own thoughts ; some words break frau
him a quotation :
Love is not love
Which alters w•heu it alteration fluids.
"That is true," says ho quickly, as ff in
answer to those last troublesome thoughts
of his ; and then -"well -and so you like
the country ?"
"Like is a poor word -I love it."
"It ,rust be a change for you ?" says he.
"The one great chonge. Town, though
in a sense amusing, has few charms' for me.
I find it fatiguing. 7'he lights, the sound,
the ceaseless rush-" she hooks at hint and
laughs. "1 suppose I ant ungrateful," says
she. They tell me I was very well received,
but in reality I was glad when the season
was over and I could fly away to hide my-
self here." She leans forward -"That is a
secret, remember."
"I know. I shall tell no one of your
present abode. And so you were a grew`
success?"
"They said so," indifferently. "But I
didn't care about it."
"Yet you will go back to it again ?''
"Well, Tun bound to do that. Though in
my heart I wish I weren't," says she softly,
looking up at hint with lovely clear gray
eyes. "But when one has promised --made
a ,regular engagement -it Is difficult to get
out of it, isn't it ?"
"I don't see that," quickly, "'Managers
have been squared before now.'
"Managers !" She turns upon him a
glance full of the strongest amazement.
Good heavens! what an actress the girl is,
both on and off the stage!
"Oli! Did you think I had not guessed 9"
says he, with a 1011011 of passion. "From
the very first I seemed to know it -and
afterward -But I wish you had been open
with me. Yon might have toll ale. It
would have been better than to let me find
it out for myself."
"And so you have found out that I -I -
am an actress??" says she. There is so much
agitation n in her tone that he feels re terri-
ble pity for her. With her sece"ot disclos-
ed at last -laid bate -what must her feel-
ings be?
"Don't take it like that," says lie. "It
can matte 110 difference now. f love you as
I never have loved, as I never shall love an-
other woman. You," he pauses and then
goes on deliherateliy, "brill marry me?"
"Oh! stay, stay, says she, pushing him

"We have met before," says Lady Olivia,
giving the young man, who seems rather
unequal to conversation at this moment, a
warm rooeption. He is, indeed, overcome
by the manner of jlio young lady. Had'she
planned this revenge, and is she really not
-nut what he had thought her, but`
His soul sinks within (iiia.
"And my niece Lady Amanda has been
telling me," goes on Lady Olivia, blandly,
"that you have been so good to her. Have
helped so effectually to destroy the monoto-
ny sof the country; I feel I ought to be grate-
ful fur that, but I am not."
"Lady Amanda," says Grandcourt, feel-
ing stunned.
'Lady Amanda Beaudesert. Has she
not even confided in you, the naughty girl?
She wanted Inc to go into exile with leer,
but I declined. She took her old nurse,
\Irs. Marks -"her Munipsey,' as she calls
leer -with her, and has been vegetating on
your property for quite seven weeks."
Grandcourt turns passionate eyes on the
girl, who stands motionless, her 0111 eyes
fixed immovably upon the carpet.
"1 call' it disgraceful !" goes on Lady
Olivia, laughing.
"It has been a little comedy," says he to
Lady Olivia; "I am glad to have witnessed
it. I will not longer disturb your meeting
with your niece, Good -by." He gives his
hand to Lady Olivia, who is very cordial,
and pausing before "Amanda, the false,"
makes her a slight bow. For a moment
their eyes meet. Int his the girl reads some-
thing that speaks of an eternal farewell.
He has passed on, the hateful door has
closed behind hire. If she lets hits go 1109y
she will never see hint again. This cruel
certainty lends wings to her thought and
her actions.
"Auntie ! a moment," says she, sharply.
"I had a message for Mr. Grandcourt. I
mast deliver it. Stay here, I shall be back

window, and running rapidly across the
short grass, conics up with 0randcourt just
as he reaches the entrance gate.
She is painting from her quick run, her
hair is flying wild, her eyes are alight,
never.bel'ore perhaps has she looked so
lovely.
"What did you mean by going awa „like
that?" cries she, motioninghint to fYolloty
her into a side path. "Have you forgot-

"That will do," says he violently. "Have
you not played with me enough? Have 1
not played the fool to perfection. There is
but one thing loft to rue, Lady Amanda, to
beg your pardon and rid you of my pre-
sence.
"Oh, no, don't go. Don't, don't, don't.
I was wrong, I know, but -Gerald(" It is
the first time she has called him by hik
Christian name, and Mr. Grandcourt's heart
begins to beat with:a fierceness that is al-
most painful.

all that has passed between us do you think
I should have the impertinence to -to , -
There! have some pity; let me go without
further indignity."
"If yon go." cries she, standing back from
him and looking fairly into his eyes, "you
will break my heart!"
"Amanda!"
"Yes. I don't care what you think. You
said you were willing to marry tine when
you thought I was only -only -an actress;
are you less willing to marry me now, when
you Itnow me to be what I am? 011, you
should not have stolen my heart all these
weeks if you only meant to throw me over
at last."
"Oh, darling, darling---"
"Well, what is the good of your calling
me that if you won't make ft lends with me?
Gerald, (lo, do love me es you loved me this

Unconselonnly she moves toward him, her
charming face, troubled and sad with tears,
uplifted to his. Who could resist it? Not

TIIE REV. DP". PARSONS AND
SECRET SOCIETIES.
"The Relation of Church, Mem-
bers to Outside Organizations," was
discussed by Rev. Dr. Parsons at
the Toronto Presbyterian Council
last week. He considered 'it obli •
gatory upon church members to
caro for the sick and poor and the
failure of the church to do this does
not justify any member's withdrawal
therefrom. Tho speaker commend-
ed the philanthropy• of secret socie
ties, but though the secrecy was
inconsistent with deeds of benev-
olence.
IIs maintained_ that "independent
Christian action on the part of
voter's loyal to Christ alone can
restore and retain political virtue ;
and this fiction will be more power-
ful according as those who are faith-
ful to the vows uttered ill the•
church insist on separation from
baneful associations and secret alli-
ances."
He also deplored the existence of
organizations devoted to social cul-
ture and recreation. The votes and
obligations of secret societies should
not have precedence of church ob-
ligations.
:.iembership in the church, said
Dr. Parsons, carried an obligation
to caro for the poor, the sick, the
unfortunate and the afflicted, and
if these duties were neglecter( the
proper remedy was not to be found
in deserting the church and joining
others professing the faith of Christ.
Societies were of three classes :
Those having their objects under
seal of secrecy; those existing to
sustain government and protect so-
ciety; those which aim at social
culture and recreation. The church
undoubtedly lost by the attention
paid to these societies. While
many good and noble deeds had
been performed by sem0 of the
societies. Dr. Parsons could not see
the consistency of secrecy in con-
nection with such deeds of blessing.
Of the second class all that could
bo said was that independout action
of voters loyal to Christ alone can
restore and retain political virtue.
The third class of societies would
doubtless oxi't ns long as
man had a social nature, but it is a
fact that the tendencies of social
life, unless chocked by strong self•
control, always lead to excess.

"Say, mister, ye aiut got any

Elk county the other day.
"Don'tknow of auy of those
articles lying around."
"Wal, I'm trustee .up into the
Hemlock doestriet, and 1. wuz re-
solved at a meetin' tether night to
coma down and gi t hold of a teacher.
If yo sot yor eyes on a man that's
kinder weak and Wauts to teach
school you jest let mo know."
"Why is it that yon inquire for a
weak teacher 1"
"Wal, y'seo, the boys up in our
deestrict aro a right smart set of
fellers, and they generally have lots
of fain with a teacher. They put
hint in a snow -bank and kiver him
up, tide Lira on a rail, make him
stand on his head, and amuse their -
selves ginerally. Any time it gets
dull in school they jest up and goes
for the teacher, Nov, we hired a
feller that jest graduated from some
seminary, last year, and the boys
looked for'ard and calkerlated they
could have an enjoyable winter's
schorlin'. All thoy did was to look
for'ard. They lit into the feller
the first day, and Ire lit into diem.
They wus considerably mixed np
for about half an hour, and when
tboy quit five of the boys wus lay-
ing around on the floor and the rest
was hussliu' for water and bandages.
We trustees convened that night
and bounced that teache. 1Ve may
be mighty slow up our way, but as
to oddication wo are right there.
We believe in mixing a little
amusement with eddication• So,
what I'm hustlin' for. -now is a
teacher they can lick. If you run
across a feller that you think will
fit in such a place, jest send mo
word."
FALLING OFF A LOG.
"As easy as falling off a log," is an
old saying, When it was first uttered,
nobody known. Nothing is easier, un-
less it is the taking of a dose of Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. 'These act
like magio. No griping or drenching
follows, as is the ease with the old-fash-
ioned pills. The relief that follows re-
semable the action of nature in her hap-
piert snoods ; the impales given 'to the
(ferment liver is of the most salutary
kind, and is speedily manifested by the
disappearance of all bilious amptalne.
Sick headache, wind on the stnntach,
pain through the right side and shoulder -
blade, and yellowness of the skin and
eyeballs are speedily remedied by the
Pellets,
