1j Own "‘Pauline, with her infant grandâ€" child in her arms, went back to New Orleans, where she nursed her sacred charge for more than a year ; but she was very, very poor, and t length she resolved that she ould seek her own mother in the North, and give the little one into her keeping. Surely, she thought, Reachel would not refuse to accept the sweet child of her own blood s) far removed in birth from the event of the old bitter days. With this purpose, Pauline set herself to raising money for the journey, and when she had done that, she set forth. She reached Boston in auâ€" tumn, and in time she found where her mother lived ; but her courage had failed her. People told her that Rachel St. Clair was cold and stern, and she daved not go to her. And yet. she resolved that she would give the child into Reckel‘s care. She bore her grandchild to Rachel‘s door, through snow and storm, and awaited the result. The child was taken in, and Rachel‘s eart yearned toward it; and the Eild‘ in turn, clung by natural inâ€" inet to her. And thus, â€"without towing it, Rachel St. Clair pressâ€" ed to her bosom her own greatâ€" grandchildâ€"the grandchild of her a little while, but not for long. Marie, when she knew she must die, gave her infant into Pauline‘s hands, saying to her : ‘Be a mother to my child when I am gone, and make her life bright and pleasant if you can.‘ And so she died. him on his trips. They had been married ten years when a daughâ€" ter was born to them, and while the mother lay sick at Natchez, Ralph‘s boat was blown up, and he was killed. â€" Pauline, when she learned of the disaster, went to Natchez, where she found Marie dying. The presence of her moâ€" ther revived the stricken one for Marie grew up to womanhood, beautiful and good, but poor. At the age of eighteen she married Ralph Vinay, who was a clerk of a river steamboat, and went with named ‘Marnc.‘ Shortly after *he birth of Marie, Paul joined Genâ€" eral Jackson‘s army at New Or leans, and there laid down his life. A sickness fell upon Pauline, and for more than a year she hovered between life and death. But her strength came back to her, and she returned to New Orleans to implore her mother‘s mercy and forgiveâ€" ness; but upon her arrival she laaraed _ thatâ€"her mother had gone away to the farâ€"North. â€" Pauline could not follow. She found friends who assisted her in their poor W‘:‘ry,J and for a time she supported herself and her child by teaching music. ‘‘Madame,"‘ said the administraâ€" tor, <E hold in my hand a copy or the last will and testament of Victor Et. Clair. You have seen it, I think?!" "I have, sit." ‘‘And understand its provisions ?‘ ‘‘Perfectly." ‘‘At present, a grandson of Theâ€" resa, sister of Victor, appears as the only heir. Can you dispute his Â¥ claim?" Dr. Arkwright drew up a chair, and the woman sat down, and afâ€" ter a brief pause, in a voice clear and harmonious, she spoke as folâ€" lows : _"*In time, to Paul and Pauline was born &, daughter, whom they "Gentlenten, I will tell you a simple story. â€" Rachel St. Clair, when her. husband died, was left with a child called Pauline. When Rachel had reached the age of thirâ€" tyâ€"four, Pauline was on her way home from Cuba, where she had been at school. Rachel St. Clair was still beautiful, and aâ€"French offic r, named Paul Cambray, had fallen in love with her, and offerâ€" ed her his hand, which she had acâ€" cepted. Thus were matters when Pauline arrived in New Orleans. Men saw her, and were dazzled. Paul Cambray saw her, and at length his love turned from the, mother to the daughter, and he and Pauline went away together and were married. Rackel would not forgive them. She was willing to take back her daughter, but she would never see the false lover again; and she never did. Father and son turned pale, and shook from head to foot. Surely, there was something ominous in this. ‘"I am here, Caspat. I was sumâ€" moned, as were you, and I could not disobey."‘ Endora heard Caspar‘s exclamaâ€" tion, . and regarding him quite calmly, she said : ig it, Rachel St. Clan her bosom her own hildâ€"the grandchild auline. e had planner t N ai E% %C E@Q’fl â€" * C 61%, L# &’ 9 iline had pl-;}_g&ed"fil’at, in he would reveal the truth ; APTER OR, SAVED BXY_THE LOVE OF A wWOMAN.

"No," said.â€"Paulineâ€"â€" <L know that it was my mother‘s will that Christine should be the saole posâ€" "Ah !‘‘ said the judge, "we ougnt not to have suffered them to "[>â€" part. I will have them arrested this very night! And now,"‘" he adâ€" ded, turning to the administrator, "I think we shall have no difficulty, at the next session of our court, in settling the Brookside estate." ‘‘You are aware, gentlemen," said Lefevre after the twain had gone, ‘"‘that those two are father and son? The younger is truly Caspar Compton. What crimes they havy» committed in pushing this wâ€"rk you can judge as well as I _ ‘Thatl Caspar destroyed Rachel‘s will 1 am assured. Touching the death oi Halford, and the disappeara ice of the two witnesses, I have strong misgivings, especially since. we know of the forcible abduction of this young lady." And Caspar and his father hastâ€" ily left the roomâ€"and left Th house. And then. Lefevre produced â€"a voluminous packet of papers, each bearing the official seal of authentiâ€" city, and proceeded, in detail, to establish the truth of the stateâ€" ments Pauline had made. ~â€"â€"Andâ€" then, Albert Lefevre, the whiteâ€"haired lawyer of New Orâ€" leans, arose and told how he had had charge of Rachel St. Clair‘s southern property for over twenty years, and how his father, Hubert Lefevre, had been Rachel‘s originâ€" al\ attorney, as well as the attorâ€" ney of her husband, and had, full seventy years before, drawn up the will, an attested copy of which now lay upon the table before him. The judge waved his hand, and Alexander Compton sank back into his seat; and, for the time, both he and Caspar seemed dazed and overwhelmed by the utter wreck and ruin of their crimeâ€"reared hopes. f > "I will tell you,"‘ answered the woman, in clear, ringing tones. "This,‘""‘ placing her hand upon the maiden‘s head, ‘"is Uhristine, child of Marie. Marie was my child ; and Iâ€"Iâ€"am Pauline, child of Victor and Rachel St.. Clairâ€"all born in lawful wedlock !‘ Alexander Compton, when he saw that his son Caspar was as one paralyzed, started to his feet, and st1uggled for utterance. He doubtâ€" ed the woman‘s story. _ Who and what was she who thus appeared to dispute his claim Even the judge felt his heart warm and pulsate to a more tunceful measure, as he beheld the marvelâ€" ous beauty of this girl. And thus speaking she turned to the door and ovened it, and directâ€" ly afterward led Christine into the room. â€" The maiden shrank .and shivered when she met the gaze of Caspar; but when she saw how frightened and terrorâ€"stricken and abject, how pale and ghastly, he looked, and how kindly other eyes beamed upon her, she took courâ€" ago. v ‘Where is she now?" Caspar deâ€" manded, with another gasp. He spoke as at a venture, as a man casts the die upon the turn of which his life depends. ‘‘Since I am her keeper,"‘ replied the teller of the story, "I will proâ€" duce her." but when she knew that Rachel had taken the little one to her heart and home, and adopted it as her own, and given to is her own name, she hesitated. She feared there might be a shock if she now told the truth. Anrd she hesitatedâ€"hesitatâ€" ed too long. She was sick when Rachel was sick, and knew not when Rachel died, or she might have revealed herself at the last moment. And yet che holds in her heart the blessed assurance that her mother forgave her. She knows it, for she has heard it from Uhrisâ€" tine‘s own lips." G can re How the State is Going to Deal With Unemployment. In a room in Whitehall some forâ€" ty clerks are at this present moâ€" ment engaged in working out the details of a scheme which will, when completed, bring about the biggest industrial revolution that England has ever known, says Pearâ€" son‘s Weekly. BRIGHT DAiYSs FOR wWORrkErs SCM _â€"how awlul, in its mysterl ous stillness! Here was restâ€"here cblivionâ€"here a cooling stream for all earthly fever. He looked into the inky, sullen depth a long, long time, and then a deep, smothered groan escaped him; down upon his knees he sank, and pressed his brow upon the cold iron of the anâ€" chor. And thus he prayed. He arose, and looked up at the stars. (Fo be continued.) The clock of the neighboring church struck one. He heard 16, and he wondered what it meant. His watch was in his pocket, and not yet run down. He stood beâ€" neath a gasâ€"get, and looked at it. IG was one o‘clockâ€"an hour past midnight! For a time he leaned against a lampâ€"post with both his hands pressed upon his fevered brow, and then he started up, clasped his hands upon his bosom, and groaned : ‘"This is the end !‘‘ The words burst from him as though ground out by a great agâ€" ony ; and when they had been spoâ€" ken. he dropped his hands by his si‘e, and walked rapidly away until he had got clear of that street, afâ€" ter which his pace was slackenâ€" ened. Still he moved â€"steadily on, and his course was toward the water.. . At length he reached a wharf, drear and deserted. Upon one hand lay a few small vessels, but upon the other a pier extendâ€" e1 out into the sea, to which no‘ vessel was moored. To the far end of this pier he went, and gazed‘ idown into the dark flood. How solemnâ€"how awinl. in its mystan Paul was more than beside himâ€" self with liquor and was despoiled of his last dollar by the three sharpâ€" ers. On realizing the fact that he was beggared, Paul hurried from the place. Ruin, utter and black, was upon him, and only shame and degradation were before_ him. Love, honor, hopeâ€"all, all gone ! The evening that covered with its shadows the flight of Alexander iand Caspar Compton, and which closed the day of Pauline‘s strange developments and triumph, was the selfâ€"same evening upon which the three seemingly illâ€"mated companâ€" icns rode in the" streetâ€"car"; the sume evening on which Paul Wayâ€" brook and Dick Hammat went up into the gamingâ€"chamber where the bartender in his Lnen blouse gave them brandy, and where they meb Major John Harvey, of the Topoâ€" {graphical Engineers; and where, also, the slouchy and ragged tramp staggered in and was suffered to remain. And on that same evening, two females, witkh two policemen in company, were searching up and down the highways and the byâ€"ways of the eity for one who was lost ; and at a late hour, far far into the night, they came out from an upâ€" per chamber, where a man in a linâ€" en blouse ternded bar, and where ‘cards were scattered upon a table, and upon the floor, and as they gained the street, the younger feâ€" male ericd out, in wailing agony : ‘Ob, Paul! Paul! ‘Cod help me now |‘ And we may here remark that the two Comptons were not found at all.. They were treked to New York, and. then to Buffalo, and thence to St. Louis, and thence over the plains towards the Osage country, where trace of them was lost. On this evening, two officers with & warrant made search for Alexâ€" ander Compton and Caspar Compâ€" ton, the latter more commonly known in Boston as Caspar Hugo. But the two men were not to be found. They were not at their chambers, though they. had been there and taken away their Jlight valuables. & ""Then let us set forth at once. Ob. Paul! Paut! I can help him now |"‘ ‘‘Yes, darling. I should love the lad for the name he bears. I will help you ; and I think I know where we may Took for him.‘‘ "Oh, my motherâ€"for you will be my mother nowâ€" the brighter days cannot begin until I find Paul! He is suffering, and in danger. Will you not help me?‘‘ Later in the evening, after conâ€" gratulations had become stale, and legal documents had been examinâ€" ed and proved, and many explanaâ€" tions had been made, and many stories told, Christine: drew her grandmother aside, and said to her : eyes, ‘"‘we must put you in posâ€" session as the direct and legitimate heir. If you choose to transfer the estate to your grandchild, you have the right." . "Then, my darling!"‘ cried P iuâ€" line, clasping Christine to her bosâ€" om, "all, all is yours; and, as I promised you, ths brighter days have begun !"‘ Afforestation, _ reclamation _ of waste lands, and other similar proâ€" ductive works are to be undertakâ€" en by the State in order to proâ€" vide work for the workless. The expense will be heavy at first, but it will be more than met in the long run by the abolition of the workhouses and all the costly sysâ€" tem of poor law administration as at present established. The net ~The exact details of the scheme are not yet settled, but when they are made known to the British worker he will open his eyes with wonder. Instead of working a month here, a fortnight there, and then perhaps a week in yet a third place, with intervals of enforced idleness in between, the willing and competent worker will find that he is able to command, through the medium of the exchanges, regular employment throughout the greater part of the year. This is no fairy tale, no dream impossible of accomplishment. _ On the contrary, the thing is now beâ€" ing done to a modified extent in connection with the work of the few score Labor Exchanges already in existence in London and elseâ€" where. These will enable the Governâ€" ment to find out the amount of avoidable unemployment existing ir the country, and to take steps accordingly. One of the principal of these steps will be the decasualiâ€" sation of labar. The task of accomplishing this is a colossal one, but it is being resoâ€" lutly grappled with. The first step will be the establishment over the whole of_ England of Labor Exâ€" changes. Every one of the fifteen millions of wage earners in the country will be affected by ib. For it aiums at nothing less than roping them all into a sort of gigantic Benefit Club, established by the State and subâ€" sidized by the State, which will inâ€" sure them against unemployment primarily, and secondarily, it is hoped, against sickness also.

Dry earth is also a good absorbent, and the drier it is the better it is, as water alone, while holding a certain amount of ammonia in solution, parts with it to the surrounding atâ€" mosphere. Lime and ashes liberate ammonia, the ashes or any material containing potash, more than the lime. Therefore, they should nevâ€" er be mixed with nitrogenous maâ€" nure until the latter is mixed with earth or some other absorbent of nitrogen. While most farmers salt the‘r stock with some degree of regularâ€" ity, there are too many who defer this till they have nothing else to do. Very many do not realize the great importance of a constant supâ€" plzy of salt {for live stock. In some experiments that were made in France it was fourd that a lot of, steers which were given free access to salt at all times made a much larger gain on the same amount of, food than did a similar lot which were not given salt at all, and anâ€" other lot which was salted once a week did but little better thar those which were not given any.
