John's raillery, however, loosened her tongue at last, and very minute- lv she detailed her grievances. "Let her go," said John, who knew Mrs. Ruggles to be a fashion- able woman, the mother of nine children whose ages varied from one to fifteen; “let her go-she'll be glad to come back," and the se- quel proved he was right, for just as it was beginning to grow light, on the second day of her absence, some one rapped at his window, and a-h-alt-crying voice wlispeel "Let me in, John; lie been out to sarvice enough." It took but a short time for her to-understand the doctor, and to say that she disliked him would but feebly express the feeling of aver- sion with which she regarded him. Not a word, however, would Mat- ty admit, of past or present unkind- ness-neither was it necessary that she should, for Janet saw it all-- saw how "old maxim" as she called him,, had worried her life away, and while cherishing for him a sen- timent of hatred, she strove to corn- fort, her-- young mistress, whwew weaker and weaker every day, 11n- til at last the husband himself,, aroused to a sense of her danger,l strove by little acts of kindness un- l usual in him to make amends for; years of wrong. Experience is a, thorough teacher, and he shrunk from the bitter memories which spring from the grave of a neglect- ed wife, and he would rather that 'Mates/sts, Wherg shtt.rdied, should not turn away from him, shuddering at his touch, and asking him to take his hand from off her brow, just as one broiii-haired woman had done. This feeling of his was appreciated by Janet, who in proportion as he became tender toward Matty, was respectful to him, until at last there came to be a tolerably good under- standing between them, and she was suffered, in most matters, to have her oin way. With John she was a special fav- orite, and through his iy_tryyeil tality open hostilities were prevent- ed between herself and his mother, l until the latter missed another cup of jelly from its new hiding-place. Then, indeed, the indignant Afri- can announced her intention of go- ing at once to "Miss 1luggles's," who had offered her "twelve shil- lings a week, and a heap of lei- sure." w M'a"r. _ 'rie,tlrttr?rl3R'e'v""' 'rss- 'i't','IT? ”6ng th’lar‘iifidi‘ogififg‘iflw Effii"iiiain the doctor acknowledged an in- creased degree of comfort in his household, though not willing at first to attribute it to its proper source. He did not like Janet; her idiras'were too extravagant for him, and on several different occasions he .hinted quite strongly that she was not wanted there; but Janet was perfectly invincible to hints, and when, at one time, he embodi- ed them inslanguage that could not be misunderstood, telling her, "ltwas a maxim of his, that if a person had a home of their own they had better stay there;" she promptly replied, that if 'twas a maxim Vof hers to stay where she pleased, particularly as she was a woman of property," and so, as she pleased to stay there, she stayed!

"Maybe he'll love me some now ma is dead," he thought, and with that yearning. for paternal sympa- thy natural to the motherless, he crept out of bed, and groping his way with his noiseless crutches to his father's door, he knocked soft- ly for admittance. _ "Who's there?" demanded Dr. Kennedy, every nerve thrilling to the answer. It was morning thcn,---early morning, and a long, dreary day had intervened, until at last it was midnight, and silence reigned throughout the house. Maude, Nellie, Janet and John, had wept themselves sick, while in little Louis’s bosom there was a sense of desolation which kept him wakeful, even after Maude had cried herself to sleep. Many a time that day had he stol'en into the parlor, and climbing into a chair, as best he could, had laid his baby cheek against the cold, white face, and smoothing with his dimpled hand, the shining hair, had whispered, "Poor, sick mother, won't you speak to Louis any more 'l" "Bless you, my husband, "bl’és's you for that," were Matty’s dying words, for she never spoke again. "Oh, husband," she said, "you will care for him when I am gone. You will love my poor, crippled boy! Promise me this, and death wilrnbt be hard to meet. Promise me, won't you I” and the voice was very, very faint. He could not refuse, and bending lcw, he said, “Matty, I will, I wills" ' Tw, g: _.-' -u; To Nellie and to Maude she had spoken blessed words of comfort, commending to the latter as to a second mother the little Louis, who, trembling with fear, had hid- ded beneath the bedclothes, so that he could not see the white look up- on her face.

She had died within his arms; but so long as the light of reason shone in her blue eyes,----) long had they rested on the rosebud within the wipdow,--the rosebud brought from Harry's grave.

Still he endured it for nearly three years, but at the end of that time Four years and a half have pass- ed away since the dark November night when Matty Kennedy died, and in her home all things are not as they were then. Janet, the pre- siding genius of the household, is gone-married a second time, and by this means escaped, as she verily believes, the embarrassment of re- fusing ourig‘ht to be Mrs. Dr. Ken- nedv, No. 3! Not that Dr. Ken- nedy ever' entertained the slightest idea of making her his wife, but knowing how highly he valued mon- ey. and being herself "a woman of property," Janet came at last to tarry that he had serious thoughts of offering himself to her. He, on the Vennirary, was only intent upon the best means of removing her And now, leaving him for a while to himself, we will pass on to a period when Maude herself shall become in reality the heroine of our story., Underneath the willows, and by the side of Katy, was Matty laid to rest, and then the desolate old house seemed doubly desolate -- Maude mourning truly for her mo- ther, while the impulsive Nellie, too, wept bitterly, for one whom she had really loved. To the doctor, however, a now feeling had been born, and in the society of his son he found a balm for his sorrow, be- coming ere long, to all outward ap- pearance, the same exacting, over- bearing man he had been before. The blows are hard and oft repeat- ed which break the solid rock, and there will come a time when that sc,lfish nature shall be subdued and broken down; but 'tis not yet---- not yet. Thoughts of Maude Glendower and mementos of Harry Remington meeting together at Matty's coffin! Alas," that such should be our life! Then, as his eye fell upon the rosebud which Janet had laid upon her bosom, he said, "'Twas kind in Mrs. Blodgett to place it there, for Matty was fond of flowers;" but, he did not dream how closely was that rosebud connected with a grave made many years before. Surely the father cannot be blamed, if when he looked again tarpon the face of the dead,%rfan-c cied that it, wore a happier look. as if the whispered words of Louis had, reached her unconscious ear. Very beautiful looked Matty in her coffin-for thirtryears had but slightly marred her youthful face-- and the doctor, as he gazed upon her, thought within himself, "she was almost. as fair as Maude Glen- clower."

In order to hint the nutrients to the amount that the pig can most profitably use, trough- ages may be introduced into the It was found profitable to have pigs on pasture. By having access to grass, the pigs made better use of the foods given them than if these were given them in a small, dry lot. Sudden changes in rations are warned against. As it takes time for a pig to become accustomed' to a change, so that he will eat, dr. gest and assimilate the new ration as well as the old one, the more gradually such changes are made the better. , It has been found that exercise is essential to best results. "For maximum and most economical production, it seems absolutely necessary for the young and grow- ing pig to have, an abundance of exercise. Its chief value seems to be in the influence it exerts upon the respiratory and digestive func- tions. If pigs are changed from lots where they have had consid- erable exercise to lots where they do not have so much, their feed must be correspondingly reduced. Hence, they will also make smaller and usually more expensive gains. ht the Agricultural Experiment Station at Urbana, Illinois, an in, vestigation was started five years ago, the purpose of which was to develop a new feeding standard for swine. The work is not com- pleted yet, but circulars are issu- ed from year to year showing the progress to date, and emphasizing such conclusions as have been es- tablished. Thirteen experiments in all have been conducted, involv- ing the use. of 618 pigs. Circular No. 133, published last month, has reached us, and we note a few of the more important conclusions: The best feeders of stock seem to have a knack of knowing just what to feed, and how much. What to, others may appear to be intui- trire, knowledge, will, on examina- tibn, usually be found to be the re- sult of keen observation and pains- taking, coupled with long experi- ence. On coming into a stable, and looking at an animal, such a man will at a glance take note of a dozen things that the uninitiated would scarcely see, even if they were pointed out to him-such things as the condition of the droppings, the look of the hair, the brightness or dullness of the eye, the pose of the body, the curl of the tail, etc., from which he can unerringly interpret the thrift, or lack of it, in the animal viewed. It is men of this class, however-men who have learned a great V deal without help-that are most ready to welcome fresh information on the feeding question, Such as can be found in published analysis of foods, and in the reports of ex- periments conducted at the differ- ent. experiment stations. tt<y+o+<yf<y+4r+t:r+(>+tCy+Cr+oto "Wretch."' fairly screamed the insulted Janet. "So you confess my property is at the bottom of it, but I'll fix it. r'll put an end to ie," and in a state of great excite- ment she rushed from the room. (To be continued.) Here, overcome with her burst of indignation, she began to cry, while the doctor, wholly'misunder- standing her, attempted to smooth the matter somewhat by saying: "I had no intention of distressing you, Mrs. Blodgett, but " thought I might as well free my mind. Were you a poor woman, I should feel differently, but having you have money-------" “I know you’ve been thinking," interrupted the widow, “but it won't do an atom of good, for my mind was made up long ago, and I shan't do it, and if you’ve any kind of feelings for Matty/which you hain't, nor never had, you wouldn't think of such a thing, and I know, as well as I want to know, that it's my property, and nothin' else, which has put such an idee in- to your head I” 'Wes, yes," she answered, and he continued: "Mrs. Blodgett, I hardly know what to say, but Lve, been thinking for some time past---" day: “Mrs. Bloclgett,, ah-ahem," here he stopped, while Mrs. Blod- gett, thinking; her time had come, drew out Joel's picture, which lat- terly she carried in her pocket, so as to be ready for any emergency. "Mrs. Llodgett, are you paying attention tr" asked the doctor, ob- serving how intently she was re- garding the picture of the de- ceased. he determined that she should go away, and as he dreaded a scene, he did not tell her plainly What he meant, but hinted, and with each hint the widow groaned afresh over her lamented Joel. At last, emboldened by some fresh extravagance, he said to her one FEEDING THE PIG.

Unless pigs are running at pas- ture, three feeds per day are found to be more profitable than but two. ---The Farmer's Advocate. It has been noted that the amount of water that a pig re- quired, in proportion to weight, lessens steadily until the close of the fattening period. A pig, also, in his youth, needs a greater per- centage of nitrogenous food than he requires in the later months of his life. If he has been started right. corn alone will do to put on the finish. There is no standard for the amount of mineral nutrients re- quired by the pig;, and since the amount of mineral matter in the soil, the water and food supplied, varies so greatly, it is necessary, in order to get best results, to give the pig free access to a number of mineral substances, so that he can supply himself according to his ap- petite-a pretty safe guide. Salt, charcoal, air-slaked lime, bone meal (the two latter particularly in corn countries), wood ashes, clean soil, and soft-coal Cinders, should be placed where the pig can get them at will.
