Thea the manager himsel!‘ came out, with his wife, a burcrma lady who bad played Helen Macgregor with a good deal of spirit, but who seemed, from the stoical forbearance with which she received the outpourings of her husâ€" band‘s wrath at his illâ€"luck, to be a disappointingly mild and meek perâ€" won in private life.

L Babiole did not talk much, but when, in the course of the evening, I fell to describing Larkhal and the country around it, in deference to poor Mrs. Ellmer‘s thirsty wish to know more of the rollicking luxury of my bachelor home, the girl‘seyes seemed to grow â€" larger with in~ tense interest; and, after a quick glance at my face, which had, I saw, an unspeakable horror for her. she fixed her eyes on the fire, and remained as quiet as a statnue, while I enlarged on the good qualâ€" ities of my monkey, my birds, my dog. and the view from my study window of the. Muick just visible now between the bare branches of the birchâ€"trees.

Custom had long since mado me callous to instinctive aversion, but this most unexpected burst of inâ€" telligent sympathy made my heart leap up. I maid nothing, and beâ€" gan to play with the tableâ€"cioth. "But you can live there." "Circumstances â€" have made me solitary every where." Mrs. Elimer, in the helief that the pause was an awkward one, rushed into the breech, and disturbed my aweet feeling rather uncouthly. "I am sure, Mr. Maude, no one thinks the worse of you for the accident, whatever it was, that disâ€" figured you. For my part, l always prefer plain men to handsome ones. They are more intelligent and dou‘t think so much \® themselves." Babiole gave her mother an alarmâ€" ¢d, pleading look, which happily absorbed my attention, and nfeutralâ€" ized the effect of this speech. I could have borne worse things than poor Mrs. Ellmer‘s rather tactless and inâ€" sipid conversation for the sake of watching her daughter‘s mobile little face, and I am afraid they must have wished me away long before I could maks up my mind . to go. Baboile came to the outer door with me, and I seized the opportunity to ask her whai they were going to do. "* Mrs. Ellmer doesa‘t look strong enough to act again at present,"‘ I suggested. The girl‘s face clouded. "No. And even if she were, you seeâ€"â€"" She stopped. & 3 "Ol course. Her place would _ be filled up ?" 45 s "Yes," _ very â€" sorrowfully. Then she looked up again, her face grown suddenly bright and hopeful, as with a flasty of sunshine. "But you needu‘t be afraid for us.

The sudden reserve which showâ€" ed itself in her ingenious manner toâ€" wards the last words was so very suggeslive that the strue explanaâ€" tion of this phenomenoun flashed upâ€" on my mind. "Then somebody else puts in a claim ?" I suggested. i ‘The girl laughed a little, her full and sensitive red lips opening widely over ivoryâ€"white, even teeth, and she nodded _ appreciation â€" of my quick perception. " Somebody else wants such a lot of things that somebody else‘s wife and daughier can do without," sho said, with a comical littUle look or resignation. Ana, encouraged by my syimpathetic _ silence, she went on : "And he has so much _ talent, Mr. Mawumde. If he would only go on paintâ€" ing as poor mamma goes on acting, he could make us all richâ€"if he liked. And instead of thatâ€"" " Babiole !" cried her mother‘s voige, rather tartiy. " Yes, mamma." Then she added, low â€" and quickly, with a frightened glance back in the dusk, towards the door of their room: ‘ it‘s high treaâ€" son to say even so much as this, but it is hard to know how sho tries, and yet not to speak of it to anyâ€" one. 1 don‘t mean to blame my father, Mr. Maude, but you know whatl men areâ€"" It seemed to occur to her that this was an indiscreet remark, but 1 gaid "Yes, yes," with entire concurâ€" rence; for ladeed who should know what men were better thano 1? After that she seemed as anxious to get rid of me as civility allowed, but I had something to say. I gabbled it out fast and nervousâ€" ly, in a lbusky whisper, lest mamâ€" ma‘s sharp ear should catch my proâ€" posal, ana she should nip it in the bud. "Look here, Miss Babiole; if you like the hills, and you don‘t mind the cold, and your mother wants & rest and a chanuge, listen.

It‘s not badly furnishâ€" ed," I hurried on mendaciously, "and there‘s an old woman to do the houseworkâ€"â€"" But here Bablole, who had been drinking in my words with parted lips and starlight eyes like a child at its first pantoimime, dazzled, beâ€" wildored, delighted, drew herself up straight and boscame suddenly prim. "In that case, Mr. Mande," said she, with demure pride that resented the suspicion of charity, "if the old woman, can take care of the house she doesn‘t want two other people to take care of her." "But I tgil you she‘s dead !" I burst out angrily, annoyed at my blunderâ€" ing. "There was an old woman to look after the place, bit she was sevent yâ€"four, and she died the week before last, of old ageâ€"nothing inâ€" fections. Now, look here, you tell your mother about it, and _ see if you cannot persuade her to oblige â€" me. â€"I am â€" sure the change would do her good ; for it‘s very healthy thore. Why, you know the Queen lives within eight miles of my house, and you may be sure Her Majesty wouldn‘t be allowed to live anywhere where the air waen‘t good. Now, will you promise to try ? She said, "Yes," and 1 knew from the low, earnest whisper in which ahe breathed out the word, that she nmeant it with all her soul.

I was quite light hearted at my success and had io tone down my manner to its usual grave and melancholy pitch before 1 knocked again at their door. Mrs. Ellmer opened the door herâ€" welf, thus disappointing me a little; Babiole‘s simpie confiqences, which I liked to think were the result not only of natural frankness, but of inâ€" stinctive trust in me, were pleasantâ€" er to listen to than her mother‘s more â€" artificial conversation. _ We were both very dignified, both cereâ€" moniously grateful to each _ other, and when we entered the sittingâ€" room and begnn to discuss prelimiâ€" naries in a somewhat pompous and longâ€"winded manner, Babiole sat. quiet asw a mouse, in a corner, as if afraid to disturb by a breath the bharâ€" monious settlement of a plan on which she had set her hea@rt. At last all was arranged. It was Monday ; Mrs#. Elimer and her daughâ€" ter were to hold themselves in readiâ€" ness _ to enter into possesâ€" sion _ by the following _ Friday or Saturday, when‘ I should return to Aberdeen to escort them to Larkâ€" hall Lodge.

Elimer reâ€" plied with mild and dignified protest. But,. in the passage, Babiole danced lightly along to the door like a kitâ€" ten, and holding up her finger as a sign to me to keep silence, she clapâ€" ped her hands noiselessly and nodded to me several times in â€" delicious!ly confiding freemasonry. 990090980004 9000900000 09404 4499 499999400494 09 9994640046 Wisest of English philosophors is he who has said that no man has lived the ideal life who has not done these things : © ; Bocome the father of a child.

Their conclusion, Arrived at after many exâ€" periments, is that fifteen pounds of copper sulphate dissolved <~in fifty galions of water to the acre, when the mustard plants are young, is the most effective, the sa{lest, as reâ€" gards the grain crops, and the most economical to use. The average cost of this application is about one dollar per acre. In Manitoba, where the greater portion of the plants caked wild mustard are really birdâ€"rape, which is more generally known as charlock, the best means of destroying this weed is by using (when the weeqd is young) forty gallons per acre of two per cent. solution of sulphate of copâ€" per ; but if the charlock be in flowâ€" er as much as sixty gallons of a four per cent. solution will be necessary. _ The asparagus beetle, which has been troublesome in the Niagara disâ€" trict, should be treated to spraying with either kerosene emulsion or whaleâ€"oll #soap.

Phe Canadian Thistle generally comes into bloom in July and August, maturing its seeds parâ€" ticularly in the latter month. Until the fields are cleared of this pest drop out of the rotation all crops that allow the thistle seeds to ripen | before these are cut. It is desirable to plough undear pasture land in June, or land from which a crop of hay has been removed early in July, and wi wiork the land thus ploughed upon the surface, so that all thistles will be kept under until {fall, or the time for sowing winter wheat. Operate a three year rotation of wheat, rye, bariey, or oats, with clover, followâ€" e by a hoed crop. In removing thisâ€" tles from permanent pastures on stifl clays two or three cuttings a year with the seythe or mower for a few years will suffice, but in open subsoils the spuwl will lanve to be reâ€" sorted to. The first cutting should be just before the thistles blossom. The sow thistle may be eradicated in the same manner. This weed blos« soms in July, maturing its seeds in July, August and September. It will grow in any kind of soil. Couch grass, or quack grass, grow in all kinds of crops from early spring until late autumn, maturing ita seeds in August. To get rid of it plough lightly after narvest, . then harrow with the ordinary harrow, and use the spring tooth cultivator to shake the roots of the grass free from che soil. When dry burn them. Repeat this process twice or thrice and couch grass will disappear. Not Surprised at the #Lady. * Yez: don‘t toll ms, Mrs. Brady is to be marri‘d again ?" "Yis; it‘s thrue.

Permit no Russian thistle to I go to seed, and in two years you will lbo rid of it. But be careful that mM seed sown be as pure and clean As possible, and exercise especial care in regard to flax seed and millet, or any of the smaller and lighter seede. Corn, potatoss, beets or any oultiâ€" vated crop, well taken care of, wil in «wo years rid the land of not only Russian thistles, but of nearly all other noxious weeds To destroy burdock, in grain or hay fields, the reaping or mowlnt will prevent the seeds maturiog a the usual season.

Onlty Thorough Summer Fallowing will destroy wiid lettuce. The only way to get rid of sour dock, yellow dock, curled dock, narrow dock, or curl»d rumex (all the same noxious weed) is to pull out root and everyâ€" thing. ; * Wild flax, sometimes known a«s faise flax, may be got rid of by alternating hoed crops in succesâ€" slion with spring grain crops, or rye followaed by a hoed crop, the rye not being allowed to ripen. When wild flax is found only in patches in meadows the infested parts may be cut and used for soiling purposes. When Lucerne can be substituted for meadow, the first custing would take place before the flax is rips. The wild parsaip only flowers the second year, so that if the flower be cut before the seed‘forms the wood can be at once got rid of. Pigeon weed generally geta in wheat and rye seeds and timothy, mammoth clover and alsike, It cag lr)]c treated about the same as wild A Xx.
