This lessom cemained w d with Lim svihe cad of his life ; aves in CHAPTER I.â€"(CONTINUED.) "That chill makes as much normse as a dozen ordi riry children," he said angrily. "And she is always hanging about the stairs, and getting under one‘s feet! Why don‘t you shut her up somewhere ?" Bridget, a wellâ€"grown and rather stutely young woman, lifted her hazel eyes to his face with a frank look of reproach. Not one word did sho speak as she lrow Daisy into her arms and stilled her sobs. But Richard had taken in the full meaning of that steadfast look, and he went into the librayy, feeling seerctly ashamed <f himself. Preseutly the door of his sanctum opened sharply,and lus querulous voice was heard, calling his wife. "Margaret," he said, as she ebeyed his summons, "you have been moddling with my papers. Now don‘t say that you have not touched them !" "But indeed I have not, Richard," she answered patiently. "Then Bridget has been here, fidgeting and dusting, as usual," said her husband, not sorry to have an excuse for complainâ€" ing of lis eldest daughter. "MHow often have I requested that my table should be left undisturbed | I{ is very hard that I am not obeyed in my own hoyse," He sank wearily into an armâ€"chair, and she stood beside him in her trouble and perâ€" ploaity,. Sho knew perfcctly well that Bridget had not laid a finger on that studyâ€" table. Sho could havo written her name in the dust that had acceumulated under those heaps of papers, but no one had darâ€" ed to enter the room with broom or houseâ€" cloth. Yet she refrained from defending Bridget. The wasted, pecvish man was wbriously too ill to be contracicted ; let him say what he pleased, she would love him, and bear with him to the end, "Richard," she said, in hey tendgy vorce, "have you lost anything, dear ? Will you let me search for it 2" Stepping Stones. "I can find it to morrow," he answered feebly. "I don‘t mean to worry myself about it this evening ; it is growing dark. I shall be sure to find it toâ€"morrow." Then he closed his eyos as if to sleep,and Margaret stole away, and loft him alone in the gathering twiight. CHAPTER II.â€"BACKWARD GLANCES. It had always been Margaret Hurae‘s ambition to marry a man of genius. A great deal has been said and written about the rarity ot realised desires ; and yet men and women do often attain the very things on which their hearts are sot. Margaret, an orphan, earning her own bread, chorishâ€" ed her ambitious dream, and that dream came true. If not actually a genius, Richard Westyn was really a highly gifted man. â€"HMe had begun life as the son of a small tradesman, and, like the ugly duckling, had been peckâ€" ed and put upon in the family nest. Beâ€" cause he wanted to rise, it seemed that everybody‘s special efforts were spent in keeping him down, Then it was that James Lawford became his friend,and gave him help at the very time when it was most needed, James, too, was s small shopkeeper, and had a wife and children in those days. Richard learnt a great many igood things in the Lumble rooin behind his shop ; things that stayed with him, and ennobled Lim in after years,. In the frst place he learnt to I see how a brainâ€"worn d mbter, Mis‘ed by the pride of youth, Comes here with the‘sombre twilight, To wrestle for Light aud Tyuth., I hear, like a sighing presence, The ery of a spirit torm ; 1 hour, thank God !

So here, in this homoly shudow, I come from the friendless streat ; I know, es I know not elsewhere, What company here I‘ll meet, Here watch till the golden sickle Shall gather me safe and nigh; For hinds that fre searred, but sinless, Shall garner moe by and by.

He began to grow fitful in His ’ literary work;and spent & good deal of tinss ! in lounging, ind dreaming over his pive. ( He no longer peformed his tasks in the ald I steady, persistent way which ensures sucâ€" cess. At last the truth came out, at1 was whispered from one to another, yet tot unâ€" til his wife had done her utmost to keep it 4 within her own doors. But when the wife discovered that her husband was thinking of starting a now journal, she began to tremble. â€" She knew that his powers were on the wane, and his judgment was uo longer to be relied upon, The love that had gloried in his gi‘ts was quick to perceive their decliue. that he welcomed Richard eagerly, and at once aecepted his reasons for resigning the editorship and leaving London. And so the old intimacy was renewed,and seemâ€" ed to be a happy thing for all the Westyn family. The Westyus scttled in Campwick, not valy because it was Margaret‘s birthplace, but because Richard had a longing to be near his early friend, James Lawford. Mr. Lawford was an old man, who had lost all that made life desirable. 1t was no wonder She could not help being aware that the poison which had consumed his bodily vigour had begun to prey upon his mind. More than one noble work has proceeded from the pen of age ; but in that premature old age which Richard had brought upon himself, there was none of the ripeness that ought to come with grey hairs. The God of nature is longâ€"suffering ; but He works no miracle to save body and brain from the effecte of brandyâ€"drinking, . He does not, in this world, restore those intelleetual ezergies which aleohol has burned away. So Richard fell, and cou!d blame nobody but himself for it, And when lus health began visibly to decline, Mrs, Westyn pre vailed on him to quit London. The new journal was apiually atarted, and Mr. Lawford, keeping all his old faith in the projector, lent him two thousand pounds to aid him in earrying out the scheme. It proved an utter failure. Aud ther, for two years, that debt of two thousand pounds lay liko a leaden weight upon Margaret‘s heart. CHAPTER III.â€""THE FATHERLESS CHILDREN, AND wipow." While Richard was left to doze in the twilight, Margaret went into the dining» room to ensure quietness there. ‘The man bad more than one fight with his awful temptation ; but he never used the right wenpons. And so it came to pass that evil won the day, and set its foot upon the corpse of Richard Wostyn‘s nobler self, and exulted in the conquest. His wife fought for him as well as she eould, poor woman ; but all in vain. She put the brandy out of his sight, and hid it in a secret place ; and he stole her keys, and found it again, Whon she refused ta have it in the house,he bribed the servants to obtain it ; or he would even creep out in the dark to get it for himself. Olive and Philip had returned from school, and had begun to recount the adâ€" ventures of the day in tones that Bridget was endeavouring to subduc. But this was no casy matter, secing that both speakers had a great deal to to!!, and wanted to tell it at the same moment. The acquaintance was followed up, and then came a specdy proposal of marringe. There was a brie? courtship, a quiet wedâ€" ding, and several years of almost unbroken happiness. Margaret had a fair share of eurth‘s yery best things ; onlyit was hard for her to understand why all the bitterness of her lifeâ€"draught lay at the bottom of the cup. By degrees, she became conscions that a great change was creeping over her husâ€" "How dare you call names, and it was nothing about making faces ! She does do that, I know,but this is quite another matâ€" ter. You see, Bridget, Mademoiselle had said we were to translate"â€"â€" "Why shouldn‘t I speak first ?" demandâ€" ed Philip. "Who wants to herar about Milly Burton‘s impudence to Mademoiselle? It‘s the same thing over and over.. Milly s a little turnedâ€"up nosed thing, and alâ€" ways makes faces at our fellows ; but is rather jolly; I think,. And Mademoiselle is a sneaking"â€"â€"â€" 4 It was mainly through James Lawford‘s exertions that Richard obtained the post of elerk in the house of s London publishing firm ; and from that position he rapidly rose. He had just been appointed editor of a popular journal, when he first became acâ€" quainted with Margaret Hume. "Just let me tell Bridget how old Nath served Wilson this morning 1 You know, Bridget, old Nash always makes us"â€"â€" Here the clamour wased exceedingly loud, and Edua toock the sisterly liberty of putting her hand over the grammarâ€"school boy‘s mouthâ€"a proceeding which provoked little Daisy to an outburst of shrill mirth. "Ob, my children !*" said Margaret, comâ€" ing in with her soft step ; "why must I elways be reminding you that your poor father‘s nerves cannot stand this uproar ?" At the mention of "fath@¥‘s nerves" there was rather a gloomy silence. Just then Mrs. Westyn was called out by Deborah, who wanted to consult ler ap some doâ€" mestic matter ; but the din was not reâ€" newed when her presence was withdrawa. Tea was ou the table, and they quistly took their seats, Bridget presiding, "The grand old name of gentloman," and bequeathed it to his children,. "I deo‘t Giick fafhics‘s Leaifh Lat i "He would be none the worse for it," Philip was beginning to say,when Margaret eame back. He said no more before his mother ; to do him justice, he contented Luimsel{ with letting off his growlings on his sisters, and they always stood up valiantly in their father‘s defence. He was nover known to complain to anybody else, being far too proud & boy to seek sympathy from his schoolâ€"fellows. He understood the sacredness of home, and his murmurings never wont beyond its doors. **Nonsense ; you will bo thankful enough some day, Boys never know what famous men they may become, and how ashamed you might have been of that dreadfully conâ€" spicuoys anchor in after years, Just im: agine a bishop, for instance, with a tattooâ€" ed hand !" But that evezing‘s grumbling was deâ€" stined to haunt poor Philip for many a day afterwards, and fill him with bitter reâ€" morse, The hand of death was laid upon Richard Westyn as he sat alone in his library ; and before night set in his children all knew that the poor querulous yoice was hushed for ever in this world. It was a stroke of paralysis, the doctor told them, nor did the power of speech reâ€" turn before life fled. Ho died in the carly morning, ere the daylight had come back again, and had only a look of farewell to give his faithfal wife. "And if it had not been for father‘s interâ€" feronce you would have hbad a blue anchor, done in gunpowder, on the back of your left hand," said Bridget. "You had finished the tracing when he fortunately stopped you," Surely it is a merciful blindness which prevents us from seeing how well people are aequainted with our heartâ€"sorrows. When the first angnish was aver,the widow began to wonder if Campwick had ever suspected her husband‘s besetting sin ? Like a wise woman, she had mever asked outsiders to sympathize with her domestic grief, knowing too well that the world‘s compassion takes away more than it beâ€" stows, and that it is not worth while to purchase sympathy at the cost of selfâ€"resâ€" "‘The last time you were punished, it was for spinniing Olive‘s new halfâ€"crown on the edge of the waterâ€"butt, till it slipp:d in," returned Edua,. "I think you deseryâ€" ed to be cut off from pudding for thilt offence." "I was always sorry he did stop me," muttered Philip. It was a providenticl fullacy, for all Campwick knew his story from beginning to end ; and Bridget and Edna were painâ€" fully conscious that people would say he had deserved his fate, But no one said a word t> hurt Mrs, Weatyn‘s feelings ; and so, to her infinite comfort, she hugged her delusion still. pest. And therefore she soothe) hersolf with the hope that poor Richard‘s fuling was unknown. ‘If he goes away, it will be because ho is too ill to stay at home," replied Bridget, in a reproachful tone. "1 don‘t thiuk you ought to look upon his absence as a time of jubilation." Of all Richard Westyn‘s children, it was Edna who mourned hiry most, She had been his favorite, the one whose tasies and pursuits resemb‘e 1 his, and with whom he had been accustomed to read and talk. Even his peevishness bad often been reâ€" strained in her presence ; and now that he was gone she mourned for him with her whole heart. _ All the others seemed to unâ€" derstand that her sorrow was more akin to their mother‘s than theirs could ever be. "Not that exactly," said Philip, eslourâ€" ing. â€" "But you know his nerves are always in the way when we waut to have a bit of fun. . And ho does punish one, sometimes, tor such little things." _ _"Oh, do you think he will really go away ?" asked Philip, with sudden animaâ€" tion, "If he does, perhaps I might have one or two of our fellows here to tea some day, Bridget ?" Richard had always been a liftle stern and sharp with his firstâ€"born. She was what he chose to term a thororghly comâ€" monâ€"place girl, who had inherited none of his genius. As she turned out to be so poorly gifted, it was well that she was n daughter instead of a son. In her heart Bridget decidedly agreed with him. She dearly loved her needlework and her variâ€" ous little womanly duties fir too well to wish sha had been a boyâ€"as Edna someâ€" times did. Eut Bridgct was the one on whom the household always leaned. Hors was that precious gift ofhe|pfuiness, which is one of the best things that God ever beâ€" stows upon woman. Between Bridget and Edna, unlike as they were, there existed a strong bond of sympathy. Edua used sometimes to say that she was incomplete without Bridget â€"there were gaps in her character which Bridget filed up. And the elder girl was wont to declare that Edna made the poeâ€" try of her life. "If it were not for Edua," she said, "I should be nearly all prose. © She reminds me constantly that there are other quesâ€" tions in life to be auswered Lesides those nesessary cuts, "‘What shu"l we Rat. "asd ""Yes," said â€" Bridget, thoughtfuly. **Mother was saying this morning that he ought to have cliange of air and seene.

"And of course Mr. Lawford‘s death was a terrible waag mks ""She must not be taken away from her college," answered Bridget decidedly, "She ought to stay till she is seventeen; she is a girl who will develop more slowly than Edna has done. And there is her musical gift to be cultivated mother. You know it is her greatest talent," ‘‘We have beon planning something, Bridget and I," said Edna. "Mrs. Ereaâ€" leigh wants a daily governess for her girls, and we think that I might suit her." Margaret had not been prepared to find Edna so ready for action, Bhe had even been almost afraid to propose that her second daughtet should sipetintend Olive‘s studies at home. Richard had done his best to spoil the girl, and fill ber with inâ€" tellectual pride ; and poor Mrs. Westyn had never succeeded in gotting quite so close to hor as to Bridget. Her husbhand had barcly allowed her leisure enough dwiag the past two or three years to study her children‘s characters so thororghly as she desired. "Thank you, my dear," she said warmly. ‘‘You don‘t know how greatly you have cheered ms."

Box® Dust.â€"An intelligent English farmer, writing to the Mark Lane Express states his experience with bone dust and superphosphate inade from bones, He believes bone to be the * cream of the cream " as manure. On pasture land, in Cheshire, where he lived seven years, he found it indispensible,. ln Wiltshire he found it developed the Lest grasses and a superior herbage ; it produced the best roots, and on the wheat crop. in the shape of superphosplate, it secured a good stand. He used $2,500 worth of it, and believes it to be the best worth a farmer‘s attention of any outside manure. lHe found on clay lands impregnated with oxide of iron that until the land had been limod the bone had tities of 700 lus. per aore wa\wl 19 o pasture or youug grags lands it had ;,0 your no effect, but as soon as lime was applied bone was used with success.
