OHAPTEB L A lovely evening in early autumn, un­ der the thick trees which shade a quiet street in the suburbs of one of our East­ ern cities, two persons were walking slowly, conversing in low tones. An ill- matched couple they were. One a school girl of sixteen, with dimpled, tosy cheeks, and clear, innocent brown eyes; the other, a nmn who might have been handsome but for the marks of and she sprang to her feet; a benevolent- looking old gentleman stopped the car and assisted her to alight. She thanked him with a graceful little bow aijd smile, then walkejj slowly down a side street, scanning every house closely. Though near the center of the city, the street seemed quiet and retired. It was lined on both sides by grand and gloomy- looking brown stone fronts. Before one of these Belle paused, then with beating heart ascended the marble steps and rang the bell; the door was opened by a girl who looked at her curiously as she tim­ idly inquired if Mis. Hunt was within-- this was the name of the aged aunt, for whom Alplionse had directed her to a.sk. I The girl hesitated for a moment and then j with a peculiar soiile on her unpleasant I countenance threw open the door of a j magnificent reception-room and invited | Belle to enter. She did so, and, after j seeing her seated, the girl left the room, j closing the door after her. The room was rather dark, but gradually, as Belle's | eyes became used to the dim light, she j was assured that Alplionse had not ex- i aggeruted when he described his mugnifi- 1 cent surroundings.

There is a ring of mocking insincerity in the very tones of his voice which i , contrasts piayfully with the air of child* ish trust and admiration with which his companion regards him. " No, my angel, the time has not yet come in which we are at libe :ty to de- dare our love openly. For myself, I do not fear, but your stern father, taking into consideration the way in which we met, might separate us forever." " Ties, indeed !" replied the angel,with true school girl slang, "he'd justiave! he is down on handlierchief flirtations; and there is John Riley; do you know, Alphonse, I more than half believe he suspects something?" There was a start of geuuine emotion of some kind from the ardent lover, and the carefully modulated voice muttered •ometliing which commenced with d--, but which was modified to " darling."

I know I blushed furiously. He is always meddling. I hate him. - Belle's heart smote her even as she ut­ tered these kind words against the good old bachelor cousin who had petted and apoiled her all her life, and had never scolded her but once. A fortnight pre­ vious to this evening he had been boni­ fied at seeing Belle on heT way home Tfrom school in company with two other romantic young ladies, flirting her hand­ kerchief at some flashily-dressed young - laen on the street, in a way that gave Evidence of long experience.

He Jiolds her dimpled hand tenderly as she turns to leave him: "To-morrow at four o'clock, then, dearest, you will come?" "Yes, Alphonse, but"--an uneasy look •clouding the fair face--"are you sure it is quite right?" "Right, my love! What wrong can there be in cheering the loneliness of my invalided aunt by a visit from one whom she has long wanted to know? You will *se no one else, and I will conduct you TO your friend's house before your ab­ sence is noticed." "Dear Alphonse!" sighed the senti­ mental miss, "how hard it is that yon dare not speak to my father now!" , > ; "Cruel!" ex clamed the adorer, a spasm passing over his face, which to an ex­ perienced observer, closely resembles a . suppressed grin. Perhaps the thought * "flitted through his mind that it might be decidedly harder for him if he did. »•. "But time, sweet one, will remove all i ^obstacles." Footsteps were heard approaching, and they trade each other good-night hastily. ' I The man paused to whisper: "Remember, to-morrow at four." VBelle walked home lost in a delightful earn. She saw herself the bride of Mr. r, . A.

She had ample leisure to ob­ serve all this, then as no one came, she began to grow indignant. "Why was not Alphonse here to receive her? Why did they keep her waiting so long?" Suddenly a voice so near that it made her start, exclaimed; "Hello, sis!" She looked around with a startled cry; she had thought herself alone; but near by, partly hidden by the window-draping, sat a man. who was gazing at her with an impudent stare. He was adorned by a red necktie and a profusion of flashy jewelry; he sat astride a chair with his arms folded over the back, and a look , . in the bold black eyes which made Belle's i ^15L^e1 cheeks blaze with indignation. She did I "Walt not deign to reply. Her silence seemed to amuse-him. He caressed his mustache with a smile of intense enjoyment, then inquired affably: "You came to call on me, I suppose?* This was probably an impudent serv­ ant; would Alphonse never come? She replied coldly: "I wish to see Mr. Sartoris." "Any relation to the Grant family?" "I wish to see Mr. Alphonse Sarto­ rial" "Ah!" with a gesture of mock surprise; "I thought you were inquiring for Al­ gernon!" he arose, and blinking his 3hair to her side, peered inio her face insultingly; "but as Algy is not in at present, and the other gentkm:m is en­ tirely unknown to me--won't I?--" Belle sprang to her feet, the blood surging over cheek aud brow; a dim foreboding of, she knew not what, filling her with one idea--she must get away from this house, out of the presence of this terrible man; as she reached the door it was opened from without, but the glad exclamation, "Alphonse!" was ohecked by the appearance of the woman who entered. Richly, but flashily dressed, crime was stamped on every feature of her repulsive, red face; its ap­ pearance was not at all improved by a large scar which ran zig zag across the forehead. She closed the door and kept her liand upon the latch as she looked keenly at the shrinking figure of the girl.

REAL ANGEL'S FOOD.--The whites of 11 eggs, one tumbler of powdered sugar, one tumbler of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder; flavor to taste, with bit­ ter almond or orange; a pinch of salt; sift the flour five times, the fifth time sifting in the baking powder; sift the su­ gar three times; beat the eggs to a stiff froth; in mixing beat as little as possi­ ble; bake 20 minutes in a moderate oven. FISH SOUP.--Fish soups can be made of a delicate taste, but there is no space He and Barry were i to enter much upon them. Take a half 1 pound of beef or lean ham, chop it fine, jidd flavoring, simmer for half an hour, add to it one pound of fresh fish and a little vegetable, including half a finely- ' hands, chopped onion or parsley; simmer an- i horses other half hour; have either steamed rice prepared or toast cut in very small squares; pour the soup through a sieve, either on rice or toast or two eggs beaten up, and this soup will invigorate you. FISH PIE.--The idea should be dis­ carded that "fish is only aii adjunct to meat. Fit^h can very well stand alone " Father says lie is." " And he said he was fat." " Dr. Barnes is old, and he's fat." "But his head's bare." "Nibble isn't bald, and he isn't gray, either." "He's brown." Mrs. Dunway had told the exact truth about Hannibal, or Nibble, as the chil dren called hinu seven years for Prue, it would only have ! md make a meal. Fish pies, covered made twenty-five, aud everybody knows with suet-crust, make a good meal. The guardian angel that she did, a wail comes up from all parts of our fair land--hear it, you who would deny mothers the right of making laws to protect their spotless ones; "think of the thousands of ill- fated ones who do not." In Iceland. The main difficulty in Icelandic travel­ ing is to find ground firm enough to bear a horse and his rider, and the safest track is often along the sea-beach, where that is available, or even in the bed of a stream. Water is everywhere, and the traveler constantly crosses fords, either in the river whose course he is follow­ ing, or through torrents rushing down from the field on either side. The pass over which we had to ride is about 1,500 feet high, and in the month of June the "divide" was still blocked with snow. This snow was hard enough to bear a man or a pony, but in niany places it would give way beneath them, when fish requires, however, a little bacon put to it, or a little finely chopped-up beef or sausage-meat, say a quarter of a pound, onions finely chopped, and parsley, with ! the flavoring of pepper and salt and a j sjKJonful of catsup. Well-arranged fish- : pies are very relishing. Suet crust is ! lighter than lard crust, but the suet must ! be chopped very fine and the crust be | made with warm water.

Another pecularity are you?" "Walt" laughed brutally. But Belle, her heart beating with terror, said gently: "Madame, I fear I am mistaken; does not Mr. Alphonse Sartoris live here?" The woman and man exchanged sig­ nificant glances, then they laughed. • 'Another one of Larkey's fancy names," said the woman. "All right, * my girl, you'll stay." "Where am I? Who gasped Belle. "One question at a time, young lady," answered "Walt," blandy. "I have the honor to introduce you to Madame Corallie Hunt, principal of this unrivaled institution for girls. Special attention paid to 'morals and manners.' We are just out of circulars, but perhaps you have heard of this place before?" Madame Corallie!--heard of her!--she had, but as she had heard of imaginary horrors too terrible to be named, some­ thing too dark and awful to ever come in contact with her fresh young life, like a flash of light a complete understanding of the plot to entrap her came to Belle. Alone, unprotected, not even her parents dreaming of her peril. Alone in this den of merciless beasts! With a piercing scream she sprang toward the door, but was pushed violently back by the madame. "None of that, my girl; you're bound to stay here, and might as well make the best of it; you may give me some of that extra jewelry while *e are on this sub­ ject, too." . . A faint hope sprang up in the poor child's heart. She began tearing off her small supply of jewelry with feverish haste. "Oh", you may have them all," she cried eagerly, taking off the pretty rings, earrings, and pin; even the dainty little watch, the pride of her heart, was being a 11 quickly placed in the woman's out- fa colored stretched hand. "You may have them all, and my father will give you more; only let me go! oh, let me go!' The last words rose to a wail as the woman turned deliberately to leave the room. Commanding the man angrily to "take care of her, and stop that infernal noise," Madame Corallie left the room and locked the door after her. Belle turned to the man who had watched the whole scene with calm en­ joyment. "Oh, sir! please show me a way out of this dreadful place! have pity! for my mother's sake, she implored with a suf­ focating sob, "let me go."

Humors of the Law. Good from Maine. The following, from a friend in Banger, is quite too good to be lost: A year or two ago a case was on trial here before Judge , in which a certain horse-doctor was a witness. The doctor was on the stand, and answered the questions addressed to him in a very low and indistinct voice. I He was repeatedly asked to speak louder, but continued his mumbling tones, to the great annoyance of his questioner. The Judge interrupted, and, addressing the lawyer, said, " Mr. ----, you must really excuse the doctor ; his long ex- began must have been thinking, for he half closed one eye as he was walking out, night or whether it was the Fourth of July or the* attention pounded on the inside of liis cage till his arms ached.

Indigestion occa­ sions a constant irritation and uneasiness, which may impel the horse to take hold with the teeth and stretch the nepk as a means of relief. From this grows the habit, of crib-biting and wind-sucking, which ceases when the cause is removed. As a remedy give the lioi\se in his feed, daily, for a few weeks, one duaclim of copperas and half an ounce of ground ginger, and feed him upon cut feed, with crushed or ground grain, and one ounce of salt breach feed.. AT Syracuse, NV Y., they have a milk association composed of fanners, for sup­ plying the city with pure milk. They ke 'p aa agent and secretary to attend to the business, keep their own teams, em­ ploy their own men to distribute the milk, and board their own help. This association receives the product of 1.600 cows; the amount of milk received is 3,808,000 quarts per year, an average of 2,38J quarts from each cow per year. These animals represent all breeds and crosses. To MAKE A HOUSE STAND TO BE MOUNTED.--The proper mode is to take hold of the bridle-check above the bit.

CHARCOAL FOB FOWLS.--There is one ) thing wliidh nature does not supply, and which civilization renders quite necessary to fowls. It is charcoal. Charcoal made of wood does not answer the purpose; it has no taste for food, is not attractive to fowls, and is seldom eaten. But if auy one will put an ear of ripe corn into the fire until the grains are well charred, and then shell off' the corn and throw it to the flock, he will see an eagerness de­ veloped and a healthy constitution I brought about, which will make a de­ cided improvement. All pale combs will become a bright red, that busy song which precedes laying will be heard, and the average yield of eggs greatly in­ creased.-- WeMcm Farmer. JAPANESE SQUASH.--A new squash has ntly been introduced into this coun- rom Japan. It is a very distinct varri|y in every particular, and has thus far proved a most valuable acquisition to onr list. It is of the turban class, and grows to a moderate, uniform size; stem very long and thin, woody and angular, set in a rather deep circular depression; surface deeply *bbed; skin warted in its early stages; color dull orange green; dark when fully ripe.

He was looking down the lane, and he saw that the front gate was open, and just at that moment there came up the road, very faint and sweet, the music of the cavalry bugle. " Nibble ! Nibble ! " exclaimed Barry, " where are you going ? " Hannibal did not answer a word, but walked on down the lane very fast in­ deed, and Barry lost hrId of the halter. As for Prue, she was not scared a parti­ cle, for she had ridden in that way many a time, and her confidence in herself and old Nibble was unbounded. " Cluck, cluck, cluck--get-ap." "Stop, Prue, stop! He's going faster." "Get-ap! Come, Barry. Oh, there's j mother at the window !" Mrs. Dunway was not frightened any ; more than Prue, for she said to lierselt: | " Too old, indeed !

That is the reason why Ireland missed the beneficial effects of the relief fund for several months, at a time when she needed it worst.--Den­ ver lYibunf* Eating Lemons. A good deal has been said through the {>apers lately about the healthfulness of emons. The latest advice as to how to use them so they will do the most good runs as follows: "Most people know the benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but few know how it is more than doubled by taking another at night, also. The way to get the better of a billious sys­ tem without blue pills or quinine, is to take the juice of one, two or three lem­ ons, as the appetite craves, in as much ice-water as makes it pleasant to drink, A Relic of a Celebrated Tragedy. At a store on Barronne street, just ad- i j0i"in£ (*rimewald Hall, is a lady's sole leather Saratoga trunk, of the largest size, which, although entirely inoffensive in itself, and perhaps as negative a com­ bination of sole leather, steel springs and linen lining as the average receptacle for feminine raiment, is nevertheless, by as­ sociation, not without its history. This trunk was made upon the order of a very handsome young woman, who called at the store and gave specific directions as to its interior arrangements. She appeared to be in affluent circum­ stances, and did not object to the price charged, which wps $100. The money was paid and the trunk sent home, its owner proving to be Miss Bessie Moore, a young woman of pronounced beauty, whose career and method of earning a livelyliood are not usually adopted by those of the gentler sex who consider themselves in the best society. It appears that Miss Bessie Moore found that the trunk was not entirely to her satisfaction, and sold it back to the store at a lil>eral discount. She sub.se- BANIEL F.

GOOD nature is more amiable than beauty and more agreeable than wit. Just then the bugle sounded again, from the head of the column, and Prue had to hold on hard, for Hannibal sud­ denly began to canter, and he answered the music with a loud, clear whinny of delight.

The body lay for two weeks undiscovered, and was identified by a gentleman of this city who happened to be in Jefferson at the time. Singularly enough, this gentleman sulv- se<}nently committed suicide. Abe Roths­ child was arrested in Cincinnati when in the act of attempting to commit suicide, and was sent back to Jefferson, Texas, for trial, where he now lies in jail, every influence being used to delay the trial. The trunk was sold to a gentleman who had it thoroughly repaired. Before this gentleman had paid for the trunk he also committed suicide.
