Mr. Seaver decidedly disapproved of the engagement. In fact, he reâ€" fused to regard them â€" as lovers, saying that Florence was far too young, and had seen too little of the world, to bind herself by any promise, and he should not give his consent to such an arrangement until she had had at least one seasâ€" on in society, and was more compeâ€" tent to judge for herself.

Upon learning the young man‘s story, that his father, after a serâ€" les of misfortunes, which culminated in the loss of most of his fortune, had died, thus biighting â€" his prosâ€" pects, and leaving him almost penâ€" rless, Mr. Seaver, whose sympathies were deeply enlisted, interested himâ€" well in im# behalf, and he succeedâ€" ed in securing him a position as clerk in a bank of which bhe was one of the dizrectors. More than this, be invited him to his own home, where he lutroduced him to his family, and to his beauâ€" tiful ward, with whom the young man proceeded at once to fall deeply in love. He appeared to be vyery intelligent, and wellâ€"read, was courteous and afâ€" He instructed the boy to show his visitor into his office, and presently a handsome, finelyâ€"formed young man of some twentyâ€"three years presented himsel{ before him. At first che lnw,;ver was favorably impressed with him. iT "p ucS c en oneat A few months later, and about gix previous to the opening of our story, Mr. Robert Seaver, of New, York, was surprised one day to reâ€" ceive the card of Walter C. Leighâ€" ton, with a few lines penciled upon it, requesting an interview with him. These misfortunes culminated in his own death, resulting from a shock of apoplexy, upon dlaeoverlng that a large cargo of uninsured wool had been destroyed by fire, and the man knew that this heavry loss would just about wreck his business, for he Lad depended upon the sale of this wool to meet some heary obligaâ€" tions that would shortly become due. What served to make these circumâ€" «stances all the more sad was the fact that his son, in whom all his bopes were centred, lay low with a virulent fever at that time, the physicians having positively assertâ€" ed that his case was hopelessâ€"that he could not possibly rally.

At a quarter to five, Florence and ker maid, who were sitting in absoâ€" lute #ilence and darkness, heard him ascend the stairs and enter his own apartment. Mr, Seaver had a couple of letters to write, and went to the library for that purpose. _ _ , 1 o It was bharely eight o‘clock when Mrs. Seaver and Florence bade Mr. Reaver goodâ€"night, and repaired to their rooms. P P 4 The remainder of the day passed awiltly, in packing and making ready for the morrow‘s departure, and, when the dioner hour arrived, everyâ€" body professed to be so weary it was arranged that they should retire very early, to get needed rest for their contemplated voyage. Tae girl was already in the pay of young Leighton, and readily lent hersell to the plot, cheering her fair mistress, and painting the future in such bright colors for her that, ere long, Florence began to look forward to her approaching nuptials with more of serenity, if not with posiâ€" tive joy. mt C fRie _ Poor Florence went straight to her own room, where she confided to her maid what she had promised to do. "Now, I shall have everything fixed just to my mind," he mutiered, showâ€" ing his white teeth in an evil smile. "Let them take her abroad, and give hber a taste of the world, for a few monthé, then I will appear upon the scene to claim my bride, and the handsome fortune I have won. Ha, ha, my snrewd OUld lawyer, future events w.ll prove wso has played the most sagacious game ; then, when I explode my bomb, I‘ll go in for a high old itime on the other side of the pond, with my pretty little wife." He enuckled, with secret triuamph, as he vaulted lightly over the hedge, back of the summerâ€"house, and walkâ€" ed briskly along the highway â€" to catch the train for town. Tiey parted, as related, in the summerâ€"n0ouseâ€"where he hbad _ apâ€" pointed a secret moeeting, for he was determined they should be subjecited to no interruptionâ€"ske returning to the house in a hallâ€"dazed frame of mind ; se to go to arrange for the ceremony that would make him the unwortry husband of a beautifal and innocent girl, andâ€"the master of a hal[lâ€"miliion of money. f mor a jong time asle nad withstoud all his entreatios, but at last, as we hirve seen, his passionate appeals proved irrescistible ; they had swept all barriers away, and won her reâ€" luctant consent.

"Now, take meâ€"â€"" she bagan, wlen suddenly the words froze on her lips, and a low, shuddering moan burst from her. When he called for the ring, the groom seemed to hesitate for an inâ€" start ; but, after fumbling in a pocket of his vest for a moment, produced it, and two minutes later, the couple were pronounced husâ€" band an wife. ‘The clergyman was evidently in a burry aleo, his patience having been sorely tried, by the long waiting, and he hastened through the sers vice with what speed he could with= out making it seem a farce. Fiorence glanced anxiously up at ber lover, as she came to him ; but in the gloom, and muffled as he was, she could not see him distinctly, and she was too agitated to address him, while she was eager to return bome as soon as possible. He hurried his companion down the aisic, for he was anxious to get the matter over; then, going to Florence, he conducted her to his side, the maid following. "Thank Heaven, Leighton, you have come: How did you get here ?" "On horseback; didn‘t you â€" hear me ?" was thae brief respounse. "No; this deuced storm deadens any sound. Ugh, just hear it !" said the other, as a vivid flash was followed by a deafening crash of thunder, which shook the building to its foundations. "But come," he added ; "the girl has been wuiting here for rearly half an hour, and is nearly frightened to death.

"Where in thunder can Leighton bo ?" at length muttered his friend, ?and peering forth into the darkâ€" Bese with anxious eyes. Here he fell into conversation with the driver, who was also a friend of Leighton‘s, and during which they discussed their escapade, and comâ€" mented freely upon the shrewdness of the adventurer in managing to wheedle a pretty girl into the seeâ€" ret marriage for the sake of getâ€" ting control of her {ortune. Florence and her maid sat down in one of the pews to await the arâ€" rival of the belated groom, while her escort went out to the porch to watch for him.

To the visitor who peers nervously over the mouth of this great opening, 60 feet long and 40 feet broad, and sees faint lights flashing below or hears conâ€" fused murmurs of underground activity, this pit seems to resemble an entrance to Plutonian regions rather than the comâ€" monplace creation of engineers, planned to furnish an entrance to the new tunâ€" nel.

It is a very rich and healthful feed, particularly for fattening cattle and sheep. Its high protein contents makes it valuable for feeding in moderate quantities to dairy cows, along with corn silage. Cottonseed Mealâ€"Cottonseed meal is a byâ€"product in making cottonseed oil. It is richest of all the concentrates, but varies greatly in quality. It is not suitâ€" able for pigs or calves. Good cottonseed meal, which is a bright lemonâ€"yellow in color and has a fresh, pleasant taste, may be profitably fed in reasonable quantity, if combined with other feeds. Not more than three or four pounds: daily should be fed to dairy cows. Yours: very truly, _ o J Feeding in Crates â€" The â€" Best Rations. Peasâ€"Peas are very rich in protein, and are among the best feeds for growâ€" ing animals, dairy cows and pigs. ~ Pea meal is too concentrated to be fed alone. There are no byâ€"products in general use. broken kernels are present, and there is not too nuch mill sweepings. Oat shorts or oat food varies greatly in composiâ€" tion, although the better grades show a feeding value similar to that of oatmeal. Barleyâ€"Barley is a first class feed for gigs and dairy cows. The byâ€"products, rewers‘ grains and malt sprouts, are largely fed in some sections. Brewers‘ grains are simply barley from which the dextrin and sugar have been extracted. The wet grains are not desirable for genâ€" eral use, but the dried grains are easily kept and are rich in protein and fat.rankâ€" ing with bran and oil meal as a feed for dairy cows. Malt sprouts are a cheap and excellent feed for cows, but they are not greatly relished, and only two or three pounds a day can be fed. Oots.â€"The feeding value of oats is well known. Oat hulls, oat dust, and oat feed or shorts are the chief byâ€"products of this grain. Oat hulls are of little value for feed, but ae often mixed with corn meal, etc., and the _ mixture sold as ground oats. Oat dust consists chiefly of the minute hairs removed from the kerâ€" nel in the preparation of oatmeal. & It has a fair feeding value, especially if se ie Tc & . F _ _Corn.â€"Corn is the best of all the cerâ€" eals for fattening stock. It is used very largely in the manufacture of starch, glucose, beer, spirits, etc., and conseâ€" quently has a long list of byâ€"products. In the processes of manufacture the starch is removed, and the remainder of the grain is sold under the name of gluten feed, which is wel suited for dairy cows and fatening stock. Gluten meal is glutâ€" en feed without the hulls and germs of the corn, and is very rich in protein and fat. It is a capital feed for dairy cows, but on acount of its concentrated nature, should be mixed with bran or oats. Corn germ is very rich in protein and oil; after the oil is pressed out the residue is known as corn oil meal or corn oil cake, also a valuable feed. Corn bran is rela tively low in feeding value. There are numerous other "corn feeds" on the marâ€" ket, but they vary greatly in composition and value, and should be bought only unâ€" der a guaranteed analysis. ‘ E MiC Minind io C mmntimnten (Ttrih is c d c c h s1 CCHU‘y ‘ and other highly concentrated feeds.y but { for the same reason it is not suited for feeding in large quantities to hardâ€"workâ€" ; ed horses or â€"yourg pigs.

The poorer grades of shorts often contain the sweepings and dirt of the mill, and are not satisfactory for feeding. Middlings are especially useful _ for feeding pigs, along with skim milk or corn. _ The lowest grade of flour, frequently known as "red dog," usually contains the germs of the wheat, and on account of its high protein and fat contents is a valuable feed for cows, hardâ€"worked horses and growing pigs.
