I already, in my heart, regretted the coquetry which had made me refuse Consin Sam,but was too proud-to admit itto anybody but myself. To turn the conversation, and to endeavor to inspire Flora as myselt with courage, I went to the piano. Bat before I could strike a note my attention was attracted by a grating sound that seemed to come from under the floor. I glanced at Flora. She wns trembling from head to «Qh, Rose!" she whispered, "gome one is getting into the cellar, We shall be murdered," and she wrung her bands helplessly. We both listened. But I heard nothing but the beating of my heart. I was not naturally a coward, and my resolution was taken at once. "Flora," T whispered, "you bang away on the piano, so that if there is anyone below stairs he will not suspect that we have heard him. I will go and listen at the cellar door.' I went through the dark entry, to all appearance bravely enough but expecting every momeut fo be knocked on the head. At last 1 reached the kitchen. Putting one ear to the trap door that led to the celler, I listened. But I heard only Flora playing on the piano, the gate banging and slamming, and the old oak creaking in the gale and knock- ing with its branches against the house. « What cowards we are, after all,' I snid to myself, boldly raising the trap door and peering down into the cellar. 1 could sve nothing, but the air smelt of rain, «One of the windows must be open," I said. = "I hear the rain dashing in. That explains the queer noise." 1 desconded the stairs, intending to shut the window. Gradually my eyes became more and more accus- to the darkness. When I reached the bottom of the steps I turned around to look for the window.-- Great heavens | it was nel there. My heart stopped beating. I clung to: the cellar steps. AsIlooked the window reappeared, now plainly wide open: I stood staring at the pateh of faint, light for a full minute then, laughing'silently at my fears, and. pursunding myself that the shatters had blown to, and now had blown open again, 1 advanced in- tending to' fasten the shutters securely. 1 had not gone more than half the way across the cellar, fol- lowing the wall, when the window wns obscured again, and a gruff} ' Here, lend a fellow a same moment 1 ov ot ar tion | gtep the trap. door fel : nm and [knew that I was shat in "hope- light a match. - not faint. waist, sly smile.

To ate tempt to raise the trap door from below was impossible for me,I knew. My only hope of escape was through the window, and towards it Tfled as swiftly and noiselessly as possible. I remembered that an empty vin- egar barrel stood almost directly under it. On this I sprang, and, ¢latehing the sill 'above, was about to draw myself up, when the nearest burglar discovering me, darted at me with an oath. He was, luckily, just one instant too late. a flash I was on the sill and out of the window and run round the house to the front entrance. the corner of the house I saw a man approach from. the opposite direc- tion, and at this moment Flora came to the door with a light, when we discovered that the mah was cousin Sam. I did not have hysterics. Bat forgetting except my happiness and sense of relief in cousin Sam's presenee, I flung my self into his arms, dear Sam!" and I know not what elso beside. " My story, you see, is told. a minute or two cousin Sam started for the cellar, but the burglars had taken the alarm and flown. he explained his presence. returning from the fair, and seeing lights in the house and knowing that robbers were about, he stopped to ask if we were afraid.

Mark Twain has written of Mr. Beecher's tarm on the Hudson River as follows :-- Mr. Beecher's farm consists of thirty-six acres, and is carried on on scientific principles. He never puts in a plant or a crop without consulting his book. He plows and reaps und digs and sows according to the best authorities, and the authorities cost more than the farm- ing implements do. As soon as the library is complete the farm will be a profitable investment. But book farming has ita drawbacks. Upon one occasion, when it seemed moral- ly certain that the hay ought to be cut, the hay-book could not be found ard before it was found it was teo late, and the hay was all spoiled: Mr. Beecher raises sofne of the best crops of wheat in the country, but the unfavorable difference between the cost of producing it and its market value after itis produced has interfered considerable with its success as a commoreial enterprise. His special weakness is hogs how- ever. He considers hogs tho best game a farm produces, He buyes the original pig for $1.50, and feeds him $40 worth of corn aud then sells him for about $9. This is the only crop he evor makes any money oo. He loses on thecorn but he makes $7.50 on the bog. He does not mind this, because he never ex- pects to make anything on corn. And, any way it turns out, he bas the excitement of raising the hog, whether he gets the worth of him or not. His strawberries womid be a comfortable success if the robins would eat tarnips but they won'tand hence the difficulty. One ot Mr. Beecher's most harass- ing] difficulties in hia farming ope. tions comes of the close r bl of the different sorts of seeds and plants to each other. Two years ago his fursightedness warned = him that there was going to be a scarcity reason so many farmers failed ; Concontration was the ides. So them all under one experienced contract night and day for 'weeks, nnder thé personal supervis- ion of Mr. 'Becher 'himself: but 2 of water-melons, and therefor he put in a crop of twenty-seven acres of that fruit. But when they came ap they turned out to.be pumpkins, 1 and a dead loss was the consequence, Sometimes a portion of his crops go} into the ground the most prumising |. sweet potatoes, and come up the infernalist carrots--thoagh I never sel heard him express it just in that way. When he bought his farm he found one egg in"every nest on tho place. He said that 'was just the soattered their forces too lt gathered host S5E¥ Becher and pt hen.

Jacobs Oil. - We know " several persons In ourown circle Who were suffering with that dreadful disease; rheum- atism, who tried everything. and = spent hundreds of dollars for. medicine which proved of no benefit. We advised them to try St. Jacobs Oil. Some of them laughed at us for faith io the "patient stuff," they chose to call it. However we induced them: togiv ita trial, and it accomplished its work with such a magic-like rapidity that the same people are now its strongest advo- cates, and will not be without it in their houses on any account, Mr. Joel D, Harvey, U. 8. Collector of Internal Revenue, of this city, has spent over two thousand dollars 'on medicine for his wife, who was suffering dreadfully from rheumatism, and without deriving say benefit whatever; yet two bottles of Bt. Jacobs Oil accomplished what the most skillfal medical men failed in doing. We could give the names of hundreds who have been cured by this wonderful remedy, did space permit us.' The latest man who ha® been made happy through the use of this valuable liniment is Mr, James A, Conlan, 1ibearian of the Union Catholic Library ef this city. The following is Mr, Conlan's indersement :* Union Carroric Lisrary Association Cmeaad, Sept. 16, 1880. 1 wish to add my testimoby as to the merits of 8t. Jacobs Oil as a cure for rheum- atism. One bottle has cured me of this troublesome disea: e, which gave me a great deal of bother for a long time; but thanks to the remedy, 1 am cured. This statement is unsolicited. by any one in its interest. w Very respectfully, Jaxzs A. Coxray, Librarine 'Where Ignorance is Bliss 'tis Folly to be Wise. re Dr. Bliss, if not a success in probing for bullets, was highly successful in despatch- ing bulletins ; but the grandest bulletin of success is that which heralds the wonderful cures performed by Burdock Blood Bitters, that matchless tonic and blood purifier which acts at once upon the bowels, the skin, the liver and the kidneys, while it invigo. rates and strengthens the whole system. Hien PRICE FOR SHEEP IN BRITAIN.~In England mutton must seonbe an enormous price; unheard of prices are asked and given for sheep in agricultural districts, 60c. to 70s. aplece. The reason assigned for this is the great scarcity of sheep. last year large num= bers died of foot-rot, large flocks disappeared, and owners of sheep had to give up kéeping them. This was one of the greatest losses farmers sustaimed in the years 1880 and 18§L.-- Now the new flock-owners who still possess sheep are lucky, but naturally unwilling to part with them before lambing seagon; hence the enormous price asked.--Ex.
