He tried to speak, and stretched out his hand with an imploring gesture, then, staggering back to the wall, leaned against it for support, Shocked and displeased--for, judging by his appearance, Dr. Willoughby at once | concluded that his son in-law was under | the influence of liquor--he spoke sternly. |' Louis," said he, ' why do you come here to-night?" | "You have taken away my wife," he | cried. 'Give me back my wife." "Your wife came to me of her own free | | will," said Dr. Willoughby. *' She sought | the protection of her father's roof, because | he who promised to cherish and protect | her, proved false to his trust. She says she has no longer a husband or a home." He paid no attention to the words. He did not seem even to hear them. His eyes went wandering all over the room, and he repeated in pitiful tones:-- *' You have taken away my wife. Give me back my wife." ~2 "1 have not taken away your wife," said the Doctor, impatiently. "She can return to you when she pleases, and that will be as soon as you prove yourself worthy to receive her. For shame, Louis Thayer! How dare you present yourself before me in such a disgraceful condition! | Don't deny it, sir! Don't add falsehood { and perjury to your sins. Oh! | you have fallen low indeed!" To these re- | proaches the wretched man made no other answer than to repeat the words he had twice spoken, " Give me back my wife." " You have forfeited all right to call her wife," said Dr. Willoughby. 'It would serve you justly if she never returned tb you; fut she loves you, Louis, notwith- standing all the grief and anxiety you have caused her in the past, and the mortifica- tion and disgrace you will bring upon her | in the future, if this continues. She loves you, Even now she was talking hopefully about you. She will return to you at the first proof you give her that you have en- tered gon a new life. You have every- | thing to gain if you do this. You have everything to lose if you continue the mad course upon which you have entered. -- | But there," said Dr. Willoughby, *' why do I waste my words upon him? He does not even hear what I say." It was quite true. Perhaps Louis Thay: | er had borne all that day his nature could endure. His arms dropped. He nolong- | er looked eagerly about the room, but, | with glazed eyes and with an air of wealy | indifference, stood leaning/against the wall. | When Dr. Willoughby ceased speaking, he moved slowly toward the door, --slow- ly aimlessly, as if no further object in life remained to him, and he saw no reason for taking another step, but would gladly lie down and die. He turned as he reached the door, to say in his sweetest tone: -- "Good-night, father. Bay good-night to Fanny and the children, and God bless vu all? y A moment after, Mrs. Willoughby bustied in, , " Doctor," she said, *' would you mind stepping over to the drug-store! We are out of 'soothing syrup," and Louie's gums worry him so, Fanny cannot get him gniet. Danis down to Brigas's, of course; and I { don't like to send Katie out in such a deep snow. By the way, whom have you had here! 1 heard'you talking very loud." Then Dr. Willoughby related the inter- view. "Tt looks dark for Fanny, my dear, and for all of us," he said. * He was so intexicated that he was obliged to lean against the wall for support; did not know what he was saying, but rereated the same thing over and over; and when I talked to him, appeared to be half asleep. Poor Fanny! I am glad she was upstairs. I would not have had her see him for any- thing." Mra. Willoughby looked disturbed and anxious. +" How could he drive out here in such a storm!" shie said; "and think of his oing back in - the condition you describe. setor, I am afraid you did wrong to let | him go." "He can return as well as he came," | said Dr. Willoughby. "The horse he | always drives knows every step of the way, | and will take him back in half an hour.-- | There is no occasion for anxiety, dear.-- | He could not stay here, of course, for to- morrow is Sunday, and it would undo all Fanny is trying to accomplish if I had | made him welcome and allowed him to see | her.

The | wind chilled him to the bone. He looked for sleigh-tracks by the hitching-post near his gate. The surface of the snow was | unbroken. "It is impossible that it has filled in," thought the or, "' so soon. | He must have put this horse under shelter at the hotel." | The snow stop falling about ten | o'clock. The clou away, and the stars came out, but the wind changed and | blew a gale all night. The oldest inhabi- | tants had never known, in the winter | season, so high a wind. Trees'were blown | down, old buildings capsized, and great | damage done in the region. The great trees near Dr. Willoughby's house tossed their bare branches, and creaked and groaned dismally all night, and the pines { trembled, and bent toward each other, | murmuring hoarsely, as though whisper- | ing some horrid secret. | In the city the tumult was frightful. -- i Chimneys fell, roofs were lifted, or . their | tin sheeting torn partly off, and left to swing clattering in the breeze. The bell- | tower of the Wilmot Street Church ter- minated in a long slender spire, and the whole structure had more than once been | pronounced unsafe by those competent 10 | judge. To-night it rocked fearfully; and | everyjnow and then, heard plainly above the | roar of the tempest, and the clatter, and | din, and tumult all around, fhe great bell | tolled a mournful peal, ; | ""I shouldn't wonder if the crazy con- | cern came down with a crash," said a member of the rival church, as he turned {himself in his bed. "I told them when | that steeple was building, they were car- rying it nearer heaven than any of them | would ever get. Well, they need a down- fall over there of some sort." *' Mother," said a child wakened by the | tamult,--*' mother I hear the church-bell | toll. Is there a funeral! Take me into | your bed, mother, for I am afraid." | At daybreak the wind lulled, and the | Sabbath morning dawned clear and still. { The sexton of the Wilmot Street Church | came early with his boy, to clear away the | Snow, " Father," ' the lad called out from the | porch, 'see how it's drifted in here be- | fore the middle door. Tt looks just like a | grave." "" Set to work, boy, set to work," he | answered, gruffly. " There's no time for fooling, and all this snow to clear away. -- | I haven't seen such a bed these ten years." | A moment after, the boy uttered a shrill ery. *' Father! father! it is a grave." The sexton threw down his shovel, and | hurried up the steps. Wrapped in a soft, white mantle, spotless in its purity, but oh, how deathly cold! they found the body of a man. He was lying upon his face, and 'his hands were upon the | threshold of the door of the house." The | sexton got down upon his knees, and care- fully scraped away the snow from the prostrate form. Then he gently lifted the | head, and looked into the dead man's | face. . | "Great God!" said the sexton, | the minister!" | CHAPTER XXVIIL | How pleasant Dr. Willoughby's break- {fast-room looked that Sabbath morning! | The sun shone in at the east windows | upon the beautifully-spread table, and upon the family group gathered around. | Dr. Willoughby gave devout thanks that | his dear ones had been sheltered and pro- | tected from the dangers of the past night and brought to see the light of this beau- | tiful Sabbath morning. - Then, with the | dignity and grace that characterized his simplest act, he dispensed the good things before him, dod to the bahy across the | table, or answercd the grave gnestions of | bis little names:.ke | *"It was a fowrful night," said Grace | Willoughby. "1 could not sleep, the | wind blew 80 and I thought of the sailors, | and of the many poor people in the city who were not comfortably sheltered. suppose 1 was very nervous. I kept victuring to -miyself some poor wretch, 'a os or an outcast, struggling through the storm, that bitter wind chilling hin | through and through, until, faint and ex- hausted, he sank down to die. I don't know how many times [- pictured that all out. Oh, father, what a terrible death it must be!" "1 slept quietly," said Frances Thayer. ** Louie Kept me awake till eleven o'clock, then I dropped asleep; and though I knew the wind was high, --for I partially woke several times,--it was pleasant to find myself snug and warm in my bed.-- The consci of thedi fort without made the security within the sweeter." "A man to spake wid his riverence," said Katie at the door; and the visitor fol- lowing her through the hall, entered the ii heey He was a rough-looking person, a stranger to all, d in a sh overcoat, with a whip in his hand, and his hair and whiskers were white with the morning frost. You are wanted right off, Dr. Wlliough- by," he said. '"They've found your son- in-law dead, froze to death on his own church-steps." Shriek after shriek echoed through the room, and her mother and sister, hasten- ing to her side, found Frances Thayer with clenched hands, a face as a death, and wide, staring eyes, from which no tears were falling. | Every word th spoke to her was followed by a f burst of agony. Before starting on his dreadful errand, her father came, and, bending over her very tenderly, spoke her name. At the sound of his voice she gave an awful scream, pushed him from her with all her strength, then, shuddering, hid her face. Over the road Louis Thayer had twice trodden, oh, so wearily! the night before the wretched man had walked the distance back and forth--they brought him to his father's door. The wife, sternly denied to him then, bent over him now with bit- ter wailing, and piteous appeals that came too late. His heart was breaking then for the words of affection she lavished upon him now. Those vain words and vainer tears fell all unheeded upon the senseless ear, upon the marble face. How instant- ly last night would he have® accorded the forgiveness for which she pleaded so fruit- lessly to-day! Until see looked upon that dead face, no tears fell from her eyes; then they burst forth in a flood. *'Let her go to him," Dr. Willoughby had said, "It's | the terrible sight. "' Let her look u| him; it must needs do her good; for, what- ever he was in life, in death his face is] ' as the face of an angel." Yes, to that sinning and sore-stricken | man, deserted by his dearest earthly friend, lost and despairing, struggling through the cruel storm, and fighting back his earthly faintness, that at last he may sink down and die an outcast's death " between the porch and the altar,"--to him was given a dying experience that left a smile of rapture upon his face. Did One come | to him that night *" whose footsteps leave | no print across the snow?" When the devil left him, did angels come and minister to him? when the mother feared she conld not bear | 3, present success, and t promise of fu- ture usefulifess, should have been followed 'his grave by a mourning multitude,and srne to rest with words of Christian hope anid consolation, was laid away in sileno and in gloom. 'A group of sorrowing friends " beheld the sepulchre,and how the body was laid." His aged father was there,--thank God, his mother wasdead !--and the poorold man, bent with years and infirmity, standin over the ve, remembered how he h toiled and struggled for many years to en- able this only son to prepare for the work of the ministry, and marvelled at the strange providence that had permitted a life so bright with promise and to become thus over clouded and go out sud- denly in darkness and his honour. And Allan Richmond, mourning over his friend with a great and bitter mourn- ing, took up David's lamentation: -- " The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places; how are the mighty fallen! " Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon, lest the Philistines rejoice, lest the uncircumcised triumph. 'I am' distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant hast thou been unto me; thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women!" " How are the mighty fallen!" There was found lying beside his un- finished sermon a folded paper. = Tt was his resignation to the to of the Wilmot Street Church. yn NY the Saturday night he died; and before the story of sin, and anguish, and deep repent- ance it contained | was to have beén - claimed to his astonished people, their pastor had gone to plead guilty before a higher tribunal. ¥ Those who best knew this man, whose downward path it has been a sad task for the writer to trace, bear unqualified testi- mony to the loveliness of his private char- acter,--to his intelligence gifts and graces, to his keen moral perceptions, and to a something about him, which can only be described as magnetism, by which he-se- cured and held the sympathy and atten- tion of those whom he addressed. That he would have achieved a brilliant popu- larity in his sacred office, and have become a bright and shining light in the church of God, living a long and useful life, or wear- ing himself out early in his Master's work, --in either case leaving behind him precious memori¢s, and the lasting fruit of his-labours, --that he would have done all this we cannot doubt, but for the dead- ly enemy before whose power'he fell. Then he died a miserable "death, and, if he found mercy at all, was saved as if by fire; that good men spake his dishonour- ed name below their breath, and bad men use it as an occasion to scoff and blas- pheme, let us thank a social custom that some Christian men uphold, some minis- ters defend from their Bible, and quote the example of the Saviour in its coun- tenance and defence.

Dox't Lixz Murron.--A very good and true story is told of the recent excell ent ormance of Handel's Messiah as Brodaway Baptist Church. A farmer took his wife to hear the grand music, so splendidly rendered on that occasion, and after listening with apparent enjoyment, the party became suddenly interested in one of the grand chouses:-- 'We all like sheep have gone astray." First a sharp voice exclaimed: We all like sheep--" Then all the singers at once asserted. We all like sheep--" Hang me if I do!" exclaimed old rust- icis, to his partner. "I like beef and bacon, but I can't bear sheep meat. There was an audible titter in that vi- cinity, but the splendid music attracted the attention from the pair and they quiet- ly slipped out. Ix the Wyoming legislature the other y, when a man insisted he was not out of order, his opponent jerked off his coat, shouting, " Mr. Speaker, if some reliable man will hold these duds, I'll teach him he is out of order;" and the point was carried.

"KEPATOMEATATERIN." This was the note sent by a Jurmer to the school teach- er in the potato digging season, to explain his boy's absence from school. 3 Tt was a quiet funeral.

My garden is full of toads, with a rather large poetic licenses. The more man- Wa and the better the cultivation, the re the onda rive This is probably : al eye to business, for insects thrive best in rich land. Bugsare scarce on a gravel bank. But where the ground has been seuehad, and the manure wd ed in unsparingly, ion is rank, there insect-life abounds. And the toad makes hjs domicile under the cabbage or the squash-vine,, and watches patiently for snails, worms, bugs, and millers. That smoth tongue that he darts out with such rapidity looks innocent enough, but it sticks like pitch to every living thing.. His wer of digestion is excellent. Harris 'ed one hundred black larvse, uar- ters of an inch long, to a single toad with- out destroying its uppitite. We cannot af- ford to loose such an agency as this' for the destruction of insects.

It is composed of two tablespoon- fuls of spirits of tu tine, well mixed with one quart of vlaster. The turpen- tine and plaster must be well rub to- gether when mixed. Dust the plants or vines with this two or three times a week, and the yellow striped ybug will do the vines no harm, and by putting a small amoun: around the plants and vines on the ground, so as not to touch the plants, it will keep the cut-worm away from the vine or plant." * Horse Tra1NiNG.-- The bram of a horse seems to entertain but one thought at a time; for this reason continued whipping is out of the question, and only confirms his stubborn resolve. But if you can by any means change the direction of his mind, give' him a new subject to think of, nine times out of ten you will have no further trouble in starting him. As simple a thing as a little pepper, aloes, or the like, thrown back on Ris tongue, will often succeed in turning attention to the taste in his mouth. o Irisabad practice tie a halter to your arms or iy or to put the. reins when out driving around your wast or neck. A man named Williams, in John- son County, Mo., recently lost his life by a thoughtless act of the kind. Wishin to water his horse, he put the lines aroun his neck and approached the pump. The horse took fright and ran away. Mr. Williams was jerked off his feet, dragged on the ground, and his head fas literally torn from his body. A cHariTABLE Detroit man sent a bundle of cast off clothing to the burnt out victims from the Wisconsin prairie fires; he received from one of the sufferers the following: " The committee man giv me, amongst other things, wat he called a pare of:pants, and 'twould make me pant some to wear 'em.

Two mdiden ladies in Louisville were very much shocked the other day when they observed a young lady in a neighbor- ing yard dig a deep hole and bury an ob- ject carefully shrouded in white cloth.-- They at once notified the police of their suspicions of foul play, and the body was exhumed. It turned out to be that of a lamented cat, and the suspicious spinsters were hooted by the crowd. AN odd circumstance has just occurred in Milwaukee. While a funeral proces sion was following the remains' of a child to the grave the other day, the agonized parents suddenly conceived a strong de- sire to secure a photographic likeness of the corpse. Their wish was communicated to the other mourners, and the procession was thereupon stopped in front of th studio of a professor of the art, and while the dead was subjected to the action of the camera, the sorrowing friends sought. relaxation in a cooling glass of or. AN eccentric farmer who lives near Doylestown, Pa., for the last twenty years stacked all the hay he had raised on his farm, selling none of it, and using very little. The result is that he has fifty large stacks of hay on his premises, making an of t 400 tons. Of course they are in various states of preservation, some being quite rotten.

For all that was done, the hive might as well have been ten miles off as where it was, and the limb back on the tree 'with the swarm, not cut off. It is true that a few bees might have found the hive and Sitacied the Setionol theswars. But © letter says: * swarm came. at I o'clock," and '" after dinner, (y say 123 o'clock, "I cut the limb off." By this excessive long time, there was such a quiet in the swarm, that there was little chance of any bee discovering the hive even if within five inches of awarm, which was perfectly at rest on the limb, Again, the two hours gave ample time for the * bee-tree bees" to go and hunt up'a tree'in the woods. One could hard- ly have dune a worse thing than these ow change this a little, and see the ts. The limb is not cut off. The Sue fale, table-cloth and hive re-used. The swarm is up fiye feet above the table, hive and cloth. That is a rather high distance for a swarm to fall, though I have repeatedly ventured it without a cloth on the table. Bit we will do the hiving just right this time, and not be in the léast danger of losing the swarm. So we raise the table-cloth and 'put under it two thicknesses of a woolen spread or blanket--a bunch of cloth for the bees to fall on. Now take hold of the limb, and shake it gently but firmly, and the swarm falls the five or six or eight feet to the soft woolen pad; the shock startles every bee, queen and all, so that not a bee is in the swarm but knows that they have left their lighting place. What is the result? Part of the bees think they have fallen only, and these all rise in the air and light again on the limb, and must be i Shaken off. The greater stay with the queen on the table cloth; and of these, in running sbout to sce what has happen- ed, a few discover the hive and begin to buzz their wings with joy.

And in less than a half minute, sucha set of buzzing scamperers | are in haste to get into the hive as you | see no where else. And as a rule your trouble is over. A But suppose they crawl up the outside of the hive--What then! Why, havea stick four feet long and a quarter of an | inch thick in the blade, liko a wooden | knife, the blade two or three inches wide | and lower edge sharpened to. a little less than an eighth of an inch-thick. With this, gently cut fem off of the outside of | the hive, throw them back on the pad, | and let the bees run buzzing up to the hive again. : Again, suppose the Lees clog the en- trance under the hive, what then! Just take the stick and genily'but firmly them back--a foot away from the hive-- thus virtually saying,"You are to goin the hive, and to go in at once, my bees-- not a bit of delay and doubt about it." A swarm often comes out and has lighted in ten minutes, and I have them on the hiving cloth in five minutes more, and in ten minutes after that most are in, when'I gather up the ends of thecloth over the ends of the hive, disregarding a pint or q or two of bees ovtside of the hive; and in three minutes more they are on their per. manent stand and hiving cloth taken out --all done in twenty-five minutes. And depend on it, reader, if your hive' is clean and neat, the bees never leave it. Shade it fur four days the sun. Bat if yaa let thew stay on the limb, or ou$- ide of the hive, or do not get them off their lighting-place, they may not find hive, even at a few inches distance. Yon may put a hive over them, and cover them on their lighting-place with a clean hive, and the queen not know that a hive is near her, and so the swarm will go. off, 30, too, the practice of shaking a swarm ff into the hive, and turning it up with cham in it, has this eror in it. queen and bees may not know it is . hp ink it an acocident to their lighti and then may leave the ng just as Pein Sion the tree gnd not in the hive.
