It was 3 hit August evening. Ah. how week end feeble are words! Who could point the golden flush of summer beauty thet ley over the mesdows end corn-fields â€"zhe hedge-rows filled with wild flowers, Stephen Thorns and his wife were not rich. In spite of Lady Earle’s bounty, it was hard {or them at times to make both ends meet. Crops, even in that fair and fertile county, would fail, cattle would die, rain would fall when it should not, and the sun refuse to shine. But this year every- thing had gone on well; the hay stood In great ricks in the farm-yard, the olden corn waved in the fields ripe and re y for the sickle, the cows and sheep fed tranuilly in the meadows, and all things had prospered with Stephen Thorns. One thing only weighed upon his heartâ€"his wife would have it that Dora’s letters grew more and more sad; she declared her child was unhappy, and he could not persuade her to the contrary. The prettiest and most compact little farm in the village was the one where Stephen Thorne and his wife dwelt. It was called the Elms; a long avenue of elms leading tothe little house and skirting the broad green meadows. It was at a short distance from the village. so quiet. so tranquil. that, living there. one seemed out of the world. Far down the olit} ran the zigzag path that led to the village; there was no sign of the sea on the other side of the white rocks. There the green fields and pretty hop- gardens stretched out far and wide, and the Farthinglow woods formed a belt around them. In the midst of a green. fertile valley stood the village of Knutsford. It had no regular street: a pretty church, clad with gray ivy, stood on a small hill; there were a few cotta es, a few farm houses. a few little v1 las, one grand mansion, three or four shops, and quiet homesteadswith thatched roofs and eaves of straw. The white cliffs of Knutsford, like “ grand giants,” ran along the shore; there was a broad stretch of yellow sand. hidden when the tide was in. shining and firm when it ebbed. The top of the cliff was like a carpet of thick green grass and springing heather. Far as ay. in the blue distance. one could see on a bright sunny day, the outline of the French coast. The waves rolled in. and broke upon the yellow sends; the sea-birds flew by with busy wing, white sails gleamed in the sunshine. Occasion- ally a large steamer passed: but usually there was no sound save the rich. ever- ehanging music of nature, the rush of wind and waves. thegrand, solemn anthem that the sea never tires of singing. The world is full of beautv,every country has its shareâ€"Switzerland its snow-clad mountains. Germany its dark woods and broad streams, France its sunny plains. Italy its “thousand charms of nature and of art ; ” but for quiet tranquil loveliness, for calm fair beauty. looking always fresh from the Mighty Hand that created it, there is nothiugJike English scenery. The sun shining so brightly on the waters of the Arno lingered almost lovingly on a fair, quiet English landscape. Far down in the fertile and beautiful county of Kent, where the broad Channel washes the shore. stands the pretty, almost unknown village of Knutsford. Without the stimulus of anger Dora would have shrunk in terror from the thought of a long journey aloneâ€"she who had never been without an escort of a kind and attentive husband. But no prospect daunted her nowâ€"the wide seas, the dangers of rail and road had no terrors for her. She was flying in hot haste and anger from one who had said before her rival that he never wished to see her face 885i.“- The gaunt, silent Italian servant who had lived with Dora since the first day she reached Florence came to her in wonder and alarm, barely recognizing her pretty, gentle mistress in the pale, determined woman who looked like one brought to bay. To her Dora s; oke of the letter; it was to be given to her husband as soon as he returned. Not one word did she utter in reply to the woman’s questions. She hurried with the keen desperation of despair. lest Ronald should return and find her still there. Soon after noon, and while Ronald lingered With some friends upon the steps of the Hotel d'Italie, his wife reached the busy railway station at Florence. She had money enough to take her home, but none to spare. She knew no rest; every moment seemed like an age to her. until the train was in motion, and fair, sunny Florence left far behind. “I have not waited for you to send me away. Your eyes shall not be pained again by resting on the face where you read dishonor. I saw months ago that you were tired of me. I am going to my father's house, and my children I shall take with meâ€"you care no more for them than for me. They are mineâ€"not yours. I leave you with all you love in the world. I take all I love with me. If you prayed for long years, I would never return to you nor sleek mos again" She folded the note, and addressed it to her husband. She left no kiss warm from her lips upon it. As she passed forever from the little ville. she never turned for one last look at its vine-clad walls. When everything was ready, the wondering children dressed, and the little maid waiting, Doro. sat down at her husband’s desk and wrote the following lines. No tears fell upon them; her hand did not tremble; the words were clear and firmly written. In the white-faced, angry woman. roused to thehigheet pitch of passion, there was no trace of pretty. blushing Dore. Rapidly were the boxes packed. corded. and addressed.

All she remembered was the wrethlul husband who wished never to see her moreâ€"who. in presence of another. had bitterly regretted having made her his wife. She could not weep-the burning brain and jealous, angry heart would have been better for that, but the dark eyes were hri ht sud lull of strange. sngrylight. The litt e ones. looking upon her, wept for fear.

Occasionally. yes, very often, a woman is more than a match for a man. A farmer living in the outskirts of a New England city was in a hurry to get his farm work along, and went out into the field with his boys and hired man, entirely overlooking the fact that the last stick of wood in the woodpile had been burned to get the break- fast. Raging hungry the force came in at noon. The good wife had the table set with all the taste of which shewas mistress. and it really looked inviting, but there was no dinner upon it. “ Sarah. where’s the din- ner ? " inquired the farmer, somewhat anxiously. “I don't know whether it is done or not. There was no wood for a fire, so I hung it in the warmest place I could find. It’s on the ladder on the south side of the house.” The whole force was detailed at chopping wood that afternoon. An Byemonc'e Journey from n [Man’- Eye lo the End of a Little Finger. Minnnerowx, N. Y.. June 10.â€"Five or six years ago Rufus Miller, a well-known farmer of Mechanicsville. near this city. just before retiring placed in his eye what is known as an eyestone. The next morn- ing. as the stone did not drop from his eye, he supposed that it had dropped out while he was asleep. He searched every- where about his bedohamber. but could not find it. Several weeks ago he discovered a hard lump on the end of the little finger of his right hand. His friends told him that it was a wart and advised him to let it alone. About a week ago it became painful and he began picking it. ‘He soon saw that there was a hard substance under the skin and by continu- ous picking he produced his long-lost eye- stone. Mr. Miller examined the stone so carefully that there can be no mistake. He recollects that some months ago he experi- enced an aching in his right wrist and it is supposed that the stone was then moving toward the end of the finger. It is a mys- tery how this little bit of carbonate of lime made that journey through Miller‘s system without being absorbed. A marriage has other uses than those of perpetuating the race. In this great city there are thousands of refind, high-strung, intelligent, appreciative, but lone, desolate souls. for whom it would be an earthly paradise to rest ever so little in the shade of a really peaceful household. But such peace must be genuine. It must not be any patched~up affairâ€"any show of respect or affection between husband and wife before the guest‘s face and a snarl behind his back. It's just this lack of harmony between husband and wife that makes so many households as dreary as a tomb to visit. It’s a bad sign when the wife’s friends are hustled out of the husband’s presence into another room. It's a bad sign when the husband's visitors are not the wife visitors, and vice versa. It‘s a bad sign if matters which interest the wife do not interest the husband, and vice versa. It’s a bad sign when the lord of the manor looks down- from his lofty elevation and speaks with a sneer, more or less subdued, of the “ trivialties of fashion," and deems it beneath him to assist his wife in choos- ing a dress pattern. Married partnership must mean partnership in everything, or there’s a social desert for one party or the other to travel over pretty often.

Let your profits run on. These are very general statements. and therefore embrace many special rules of economy. The losses can be cut short in agreat many ways, and for the farmer the followingare important: Do all the work well. Save the manure and apply it properly. Adopt a good rotation of crop: Raise no weeds. but instead grow the st kinds of grain. fruits and animals. Keep an accurate account of all transactions. Make Beef while the Grass Grows. A large number of farmers and stockâ€" raisers appear to attach very little value to growing grass as a material for the pro- duction of bee! and mutton. They acknow- ledge, however. that it produces a large amount of milk, and milk that is very rich in cream. They, accordingly, keep their milch cows on the best pastures they have. yet they are quite likely to turn the cattle and sheep they intend to fatten for the winter marketinto astures that afford but a small omount of eed. They argue that grass will produce a large amount of milk‘ because that substance is chiefly com sed of water. But they hold that it wil pron duce little flesh and fat. In the production of these substances they think that the must have more substantial kinds of 100 . such as corn. small grain and hay. They accordingly defer paying much attention to isedinganimals intended for the butcher till the approach of cold weather. _ A greater mistake could not be made. May There is much to be said in favor of a field being devoted to a crop of roots, either mangels or the larger sorts of the sugar- beet. First, it is good for the field. In the thorough culture which a root crop demands. the soil is much improved, and the good efl'ect is felt on the other crops, all through the rotation. Secondly, it is an advantage in the distribution of labor. A field of roots will furnish employment at times when there will be little other rees- ing work, and in this way the farm ands can be hired by the season and kept busy all the time. In the third place, the crop itself is a very valuable one, and even with the present enthusiasm over ensilage it is not surpassed as a fodder crop by any other. We are not inclined to think less, but on the other hand more, of the root crop from the knowledge the agriculturists are gaining upon the value of palatable food } for live stock in winter. There is nobetterl green winter food than roots. “’herc to Plant Trees. But it is not the obiect of this article to discourage the planting of forest trees on all kinds of ground or under all circum- stances. On nearly every farm of considerable size there are tracts of land on which the owner is compelled to pay taxes, but from which he derives little or no revenue. The soil may be too broken, rocky, or dry for the purpose of producing ordinary cultivated crops. It is hard to plow, harrow or cultivate, and when all the work is performed under extreme difficul- ties the roduct is small. If sown to grass it can on y be used for pasture. Sometimes there is land on the banks of lades, streams or gullies that can be plowed or cultivated with advantage. Land constituted or situated like the above can be devoted to forest trees with a fair prospect of deriving a revenue from them in a near or distant future. Trees generally grow better on the banks of lakes, streamhr gullies than in most other places, as there is excellent drainage. while there is commonly a supply of water within reach of the roots at all seasons of the year. The roots are of value to the soil in preventing it from washing away. Best Varieties to Plant. A fair amount of forest trees on a farm improves its appearance and adds to its value. Some shade is desirable for beasts as well as men. In selecting trees to plant a forest or grove, it is generally best to give preference to such as are indigenousto the section of the country where they are set out. Their adaptability to the soil and climate has been shown, and it is generally easy to procure a supply of them at a small cost. For high, broken and rocky land there is nothing better than oak, walnut and hickor trees. They are stately, hardy and beauti ul in all stages of their growth. They are easily propagated from seed by , planting them in placeswhere the trees are desired. They require little cultivation and little pruning. They will ordinarily pay for the use of the land they occupy by the nuts they produce. The wild cherry and ash-leafed maple grow well in most parts of the west, and are useful as well as ornamental trees. The numerous varieties of ash, the elm and base wood, do the best on land that is quite rich and at the same time moderately moist. Care should be taken not to plant trees that are liable to be infested by insects. Feeding llorses by Clock “fork. A man in New Bedford has invented a machine to feed horses by clock work. It is so arranged that one or 100 horses may be fed at any hour of the day or night with- out the aid of any person. By placing the horses’ morning feed in the manger at night it will be opened at any hour desired, and that, too, while the owner is sound asleep or miles away, with his barn locked and the key in his pocket. The boxes are opened by clock work. The clock is so arranged that when the weight has run down to a certain point it releases a heavy beam, which dropping. its momentum, by means of acord or bell-wire, pulls a pin which releases the manger, and by its own weight and that of its contents, it turns over with the open side in front, so that the horse can get at its feed. When the manger drops by a cord or wire withdraw- ing a pin its weight releases the next one, and so an indefinite number of feed boxes may be made to follow each other, like a tumbling row of bricks. The horse’s morn- ing feed is put into the revolving manger and pinned up at any convenient time in the day, and his evening meal is at the same time put in a common box by its side, so that after being turned into the stall at nighthe requires no more attention till it is time to start him out in the morning.

The American Minister was informed of the aflair, and communi- cated with the Chinese Foreign Office, and a message was received from the Minister that steps would be taken to prevent further trouble. 0n the 24th the Governor of the city appeared with a company of soldiers and arrested the ringleaders and the mob dispersed.

There are few animals kept on the farm which, in their prime, pay as well as do sheep, and there are very few, if any others, upon whom old age has such a damaging effect. As the sheep is muoh shorter lived than any other of our domestic animals, it is not strange that many farm- ers attempt to keep them too long. We do not think it pays, except perhaps in special instances, to keep sheep after they are 6 or 7 years old.
