But what girl, leaning on the strong arm of the man her heart had chosen, would have doue otherwise ? Will‘s smile of contented approval, his glad rejoicing, his few whispered words of assurance that his love would do all possiâ€" ble in the way of atonement,was my shield of strength, which bore me up through all the last trying days, even to the moment when the old minister, who had held me in his arms at the baptismmal fout, with trembling fearful tones, had made me Will‘s wife, and, my wedding dress exchanged for that of travel, those whom I loved. erowded about me for the last good by. It was this thought rather than any dread of the futuore, brought the hot rush of tears, which still blinded my eyes as I at lust hid them on Will, to soon find the sunbow of promiss from his loving, tender words of comfort, dissipating their every trace. Young and untried! How almost prophetical ofn:isery had been my mother‘s words ! _ How often they returued to me in the montbs that followed ! Should I ever see the good old home again ? Will was away from me from early mornâ€" ing until nightfall, and I, who had been so strong, so brawe, so ready to be his help. mate, spent the hours in idle, regretful tesrs. It seemed as though my life had been cut offâ€"as though the clouds which bounded our horigon shut us from an out» side woild. The stillness would grow so oppressive to me that I would often wandâ€" er cffalong into the woods and shriek aloud, It was movrely a clearing to which Will came. â€" The few seattered neighbors we had lent willing help, and it was under one of their hospitable roofs we found shelter unâ€" til our own was geady. For a time, Y tried to hide this from my husband; but the eye of love is keen, and his sunny smile grew clouded, and a strange, anxious look rested now and again on his handsome face as his glance would follow me. But not until Wo were settled We Lad been married about a year,when wa for the first time took formal possession of our household goods, and I could not but be touched at the many eviâ€" dences of Will‘s thoughtful careâ€"themany little comforts he had manuged to secure for me at any cost. On that first night, my selfiish repinings buunted me like accusing ghosts, and I deâ€" termined to let the future atone for the past. Would that my resolves had been carried out! in our own humble home did my petulsncee find words, But Will‘s patience was almost godlike, Often and often, when returning from a long day‘s work, he wonuld find a cheerles: bearth and unprepared board; a wife sitting with folded hands, or thrown upon a gouch with eyes which testified to recent tears, I had willingly consented to turn my face wostward when Will told me I musf either go with him as his wife to share the hardslips of the first years of his toil, or wait behind until he dould win a home for me. ® His kiss of welcome never failed, and soon the logs wou‘d crackle on the hearth, the steam singing from the kettle, while with tender, anxious solicitude he would arrange everything for my comfort.

There had been little time for words during the night, and my husband‘s lips were now so white, so rigidly set tegether; that it seeméd as though no sotind could force its way through. One instant he pressed me in his arme with convnulsive passion, then he laid baby Eva in my embrace, and turned back into his lonely and deserted home. At last my home was in sight. I bade the driver stop, and, with my baby in my arms, descended and walked to the door. Would Will hear my step, and come to meet me. If I told him all my sorrow and regret, wonld ho still find a weloome for ms even though T had forfeited it foreyer ?

I saw Mr. Brown glance curiously at my dry eyes and face, whith betrayed no emoâ€" tion. I felt none. It was as though I had been turned to stone. All ‘day we rode, stopping for the night at a wayside hut. As I lay in the darkness with my child pressed close to my heart, she stirred in her sleep. When I arose a litt‘e comfort had crept into m7 heart, whish found voice when I told my astonished companion next mornâ€" ing that he must pursue his journey alone, and that I must return. of our homeward journey, F The veil had fallen from my eyes now. My selfishnessâ€"my perjured vowsâ€"arrayâ€" ed themselves like speptres, against whose dark background showed the golden love and patient tendéerness of my husband, tPapa! papa! her baby voice lisped,and at the call my heart gave a great leap and woke to life. What had I done? Oh, to undo the pastâ€"to cast myself at his feet and sue for forgiveness! What were homeâ€"and all home meantâ€"without him ? But only the echo of my own voice came back to me, as I fell on my knees and prayâ€" ed to God to help me regain the love I had cast away from me. ‘I did not like Will‘s looks when we left him, Mrs. Morton,‘ heâ€"said, gravely.‘ *Will! Will!‘ I criel aloud in the darkâ€" ness. *I think if you will excuse an old man‘s franknese, it might have been better if you had thus resolved earlier,‘ His words filled me with a great dread which grew and grew on every mile ‘What do you mean ?‘ I gasped out, as a dim consciousness ot all his words purportâ€" ed flashed through my mind. After I had put little Eva into her nest, and the tea things had been cleared away, Will said very quietly : ‘Seth Brown starts for the East toâ€"morâ€" row, Mary, and I have put you and little Eva under his charge. He will take good care of you on the journey, and, as the snow is melting fast, I think there will bs no delays upon the road,‘ The noxt morning I found the breakfust all ready, but Will gone. Somehow the food choked mo. I could not eat, Never had the long hours of the day dragged so slowly, though I would not let the icy waters melt which flowed around my heart. Baby and I had been long in bed when he returned, and threw himself dressed as he was upon the couch that stood in front of the fire. Will‘s Iaso grow very white, as he from his seat, reached for his hat, and ount into the night.

One evening new glass ‘ Jeata. a* + y THE MATTZR OF THE WoNDER About a mile south of the village, on the west side of the sectionâ€"line road, there lives a wellâ€"toâ€"do former, named George Manser, with his wife and seven children. He is an Englishman, but came to this country forty years ago, when fourteen years of age, and lived for a time in Whitâ€" church, east of Toronto. He married there gnd immediately moved to this place, livâ€" ing with his brother a few weeks until his own house was finished. This was twenâ€" tyâ€"five years ago, and they have lived in the same house ever since. It is a good sized building, of squared rock elm logs, and is well plastered inside and out : but some of the logs are partially decaryed, and the house has sank a little in consequence. Nevertheless it is in a good state of preserâ€" fefouy »nd ces eemery, ':,‘;“a’f“ in the The mystery concerns this lmuse‘: 'rl[fllx?h'l must give the story of it as it was told me this morning by Mrs. Manser. Her husâ€" band, she said, was away getting lumber and stuff to build a new house and would not be home till late in the evening. HAVE WE BEEN HiR® Loxc, sir? Oh, yes, sir, it‘s twentyâ€"five years gone last June we were manied, and wo came hore right off, The house wasn‘t quite fin ished then, but it was a few weeks after, and we‘ve lived i it ever since. We nevâ€" er did no evil to anybody, and every on as knows us will tell you the same, George was Treasurer of the township two years, but he‘s out now. He tried to do what was right, and I guesshe did foo. â€" If T just find out the real reason that was the cause of this trouble, 1 would give a good deal. I says to George, people are making a talk and saying a great doal about it. Why, sir some on ‘em say it‘s witcheraft or someâ€" thing of that sort, an@ they even say it‘s me as is the cause of the trouble, but it‘s nothing of the sort. I don‘t believe there‘s any such thing as witches. 1 says to Geo., "get up around the house and see what‘s the matter with the windows breaking and the water coming‘; and he says, ‘Well, what can I see ? There‘s nothing.‘ And there isn‘t, either. wHAT ABOUT TRE waTEr, pm yor say ? Well, it don‘t come in throngh the roof, that‘s one thing I know ; at least not much of it. The roof was fixed last fall, and it hmsn‘t leaked much since. The water ‘ecmes in through the wall perhaps a day and perhaps three or four days after a rain, and it was so bad we l;ad to move all the beds out of the house." You sée that little hole there in the plaster ? Well, the other day there came a big pore out of that hole, and it hadn‘t rained any for about a week. All the beds were moved out to the barn except a bed for me and my husband and some of the little ones that we fixed up in the woodshed, as I‘ve got to be handy to get the meals. I‘m afraid of nothing as long as the old cabin don‘t fall down n us, and I guess there‘s not much fear about that; but I was getting tired drying up the bedclothes one day after another, The chilgren and the hired men find it comforâ€" table enough out in the barn, so there‘s no use complainin‘. We‘ll be better fixed, I hope, whon we get the new kitchen up. Where the water comes from is mora‘n I can tell, but I guess it‘s from the house se tling. â€" It didn‘t trouble us till a few weeks (From the Globe Correspondent.) CrossutL, Sept. 9. This is a quiet hatolet up among the hills of Wellesley township, sisteen miles out from Berlin. Just now it is enjoying the sensation ofa nine days‘ wonder, about which everybody, young and old,is talking, but the seeret of which the wisest among thein caunot unfold. The ‘smart‘ village 4 sehoolmaster, and the ‘longâ€"headed‘ village minister are alike puzzled over it, and both are constrained to say that there are things in heaven and in earth not dreamt of even in their philosophy. ‘The girls talk over it and the boys, and the otd men,and the woâ€" lmen; it comes up as regular as the daily imetl times, and it is always as fresh as hunger. ‘They‘ll talk about it during the | long winter, and perhaps for many winters: }nnd summers to come ; for thereis nothing: more remarkable in country life than the ‘ way people will go ou talking a subject :o| death, and talking over it long after your city folks would have it dead, buried and ' forgotten. Why if is so I don‘t know, but | I guess it must be because they haven‘t a | daily newspaper to give their intellects a | fresh start in life every morning at the [ breakfast table. I know something about it, too, for 1 was born in the woods. But l FREAKS OF NaTURE IX fTHE HomE or WaATERLOO COUNTY FaorcR. Whole No. 134. The Crosshill Mystery.

But the i_rupid developement of Dakota is bringing a rival into the field which may within few years surpass evén Minnesota, The valley of the Red River of the North is perhaps the most remarkalle wheatâ€"proâ€" ducing region in the United Ssates; the progress of the Northern Pacific railway is rapidly opening the fertite aeres of the Territory to ealtivition. It may be thas soon after Dakutsa murives at the dignity of veing a State it may enjoy the distmetion of being the grentest of the wlert States. Coming to the DOminion, the development of Manitoba is equally remarkuble, and there car be no donbt as to its wheat growâ€" ing enpabilities.

You can see just as much as I can what there is about it, ex« cep‘n the glass isn‘t breaking just uow, â€" nd the water isn‘t coming in. Mr. Boyd up here, the Presbyterian minister, n prettv longâ€"headed man he is, too, he thiuks it .« owing to stagnaut water in the logs making gas and breaking out the glass, and others think it‘s the house setiJin‘, and I guess that‘s it, but I‘m sure I dou‘t know. I don‘t believe thero‘s ANY WITCHCRAFT ABOUT IT anyway, ‘cause there‘s no witches about bere, and I don‘t believe in ‘em an: how, In that leauâ€"to thore (the kitchen) the gluss bas never broken, vor yet in the. upstairs part. â€" It didn‘t make a pin‘s difference,and that aint much, whether the windows were open or shut ; they broke all the same. It was always about noon or evening, when the sun was strongest; never at midnighs or parly n the morning, and that‘s what made me think it was the heat that caused it. I had a talk with the Campbell fumsily, who spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Manser as an jutelligent and indastrious man, â€" They have no theory wherewith to account for the strange freaks which aunoy their neighbor; but the old lady, who is from the land of brown heather, witches, elves and fairies, knowingly intimated that she "could an‘ if she would." 18 TEERE NUOHK Tauk amrovrrar? â€" Talk ! Well, I guess there is, and some there‘s no sense to.

Mrs. Manser, who is a bricht, tharp, acâ€" tive little woman, never rested a moment, but went on with her work from beginuing to end, as if her very life was at stuke. She is apparently one of a very few people who ¢an talk and work too. Buat the mysâ€" tery of the breraking glass is as much a mystery as ever. The heat and the settlâ€" ing of tha house won‘t solve it, and the enuse, whether natural or enpernatural, 1»â€" ma‘ns fo be discovered. The water, I have not much doubt, is driven into the crevices of the wall during heuvy rams, and slowly works its way inward through the partially decaved timber. Aimes it wes put in with putty, sometimes with tacks, and one time they made a groove in the sash and tried it that way. Baut it didn‘t make any difference; they‘d all barst and go. They tried the sash turnâ€" ed inside out, and then the glass‘d break and go clean meross the room, Joln E. Campbell, oar neighbor mcross the r; ad thereâ€"he died and was buried last Monuâ€" dayâ€"be was sitting in that room ‘one da y near the wall, and the glass burst in, al most striking where ho sat, ten feot 0if or more. before he came in there was plenty, of air.

In less than twenty minutes there wasn‘t a pane in cither sush. We thought at first it was the old sash was the cause of it, and we got two new ones made, but the glass in them broke every bit as bad as the oth» grs. It waswt that the sash was tight in the frame either, for it was 18ose,and would raise up and down easy enough only when it was awelled with very wet weather.
