Show A BARTERED ilFE. her virtues and tascinations, had deliberately bartered her charms End perjured herself in order to secure an eligible settlement And, to do her justice, she is superior to the practice of the arts that make Harriet acceptable to my brother and odious to everybody else, he meditated. She offers no profession of devotion to the man she has married, while she accords to him the respectful duty of a wife, Elnathan seems satisfied. Perhaps he craves nothing warmer. Pray heaven he may tever guiss of how much fate has defrauded him in withholding from him the free, glad affections of a true woman! If there were any changes in his behavior to Constance after this, it was to be discerned in a gentler address, in unobtrusive regard for her wishes, expressed or surmised, and a prolongation of his stay in a house that held so few attractions for her. That this arrangement was highly satisfactory to his brother was not without effect In shaping his conduct. That Harriet piled him with solicitations to remain before his decision was announced, and was loudly voluble in her protestations of delight when the question was settled, had not a straws weight with him. She annoyed him less than formerly, however, either, as he explained It to himself, because he had learned charity from Constances defense of the lonely spinsters policy, or because she kept herself more in the background than was her wont She seemed amiably disposed toward Constance, too, and he strove to credit her with kind Intentions with regard to one whom mest people in her situation would have hated as a usurper. She abetted what ever project of outdoor excursion or domestic recreation was proposed by him for Constance's diversion, offering herself as the wifes substitute in the sober phaeton drive on breezy afternoons, that Constance and Edward might act' as outriders, and never failed to call the husbands notice to her graceful horsemanship and the brighter bloom planted in her cheeks by the exercise. Mr. Withers never tired of chess, and the indefatigable apparently shared his zeal on this point The board was produced nightly as the days became shorter and the evenings cooler, and music, reading or conversation upon art and literature was carried on for hours by the remaining two of the quartette without interruption from the automata bent over the checkered surface. For Harriet could be taciturn when need was a very lay figure in dumbness as in starch.

Every nodule on the root of a plant is an immense factory. It may be smaller than a pea, yet in it are multitudes of the little workers. They existed from the bee ginning of the development of on the earth; but man has only recently discovered them. Before he understood that they were the friends of man, he regarded these factories as symptoms of plant diseases, and various remedies were invented for the cure of the said diseases. But later, such efforts were found to be misapplied, and it was recognized that these same tubercles were part of the machinery of Mother Nature, by which she kept the soil soluble supplied with the forms of nitrogen, which alone can be taken up by the roots of plants. In the woods and on the prairies there are numerous forms of legumjnosae, which help to keep up the balance required. There are the wild peas, the beggar weeds, the- vetches and their relatives'. On all of their roots are the little nitrogen factories crowded with workers. Man is able to assist these laborers and make it possible for them to increase their product. This is a manufacture in which there is not danger of over production. Sub-Eart- t. iegum-inosa- - bald-heade- Lawyers Valued at $50. high-heade- d X er prfs-one- r.
