I desire you to further iimler stand that I will hear no more complaints. See that my wishes ai-- olieyed." With these curt and insulting words the old tyrant turned awuyaud resumed his conversation with his son, who stood leaning on the mantle quietly smoking a cigar. Tears tilled the eyes of poor Kate as she listeneil to the cruel wimls of her heartless guardian, but she only said : "Things have sadly changed since my dear father died!" and passed from the room.

She stopiied. she could say no more, she was frightened at what she hail already said. tlh, darling if you could only feel the i joy you giveuiy heart by those few words; the rapture which tills my soul; you would then understand the delicious depth of the love I The girl seemed strangely quiet but there was a tone of fierce passion in her voice aa she replied in a strange undemon-strative sort of way: "Phillip; but the other day I loved my soul beyond all things this world contains A'uie Phillip I love you better than my own soul my life was dear to me; but you Phillip, are far more precious to me than life without you. Do 1 love you, Phillip!" The man by her side was startled by the awful solemnity of the iassion he had awakened in the breast of the woman at his side. He shivered as he listened to the even voice which told of a love that was almost more than human! The cold tones of Barliara (ilendon but covered a burning passion that consumed every other sentiment of heart and soul with her it was oil or iiothiny it was idolatry! Her inqietuons heart made the man her an idol nothing more or less! He spoke: "Yes. Barbara, I know yon love me. but not molt; deeply than I love you. Soon, darling, we shall lie all in all to each other, in the meantime we must arrange our meetings, and in a little time, ihu ling, we will leave this place for my own home, where we shall reign alone! It was. surprising that the keen mind of Barbara did not weigh the maudlin love-wo- n Is of this man; they weighed like feathers to gold in comparison to the pro-found utterances coined in her own heart but they were love-word- s, and the voice that spoke them was as sweet music to her passionate soul. Suddenly the liell struck nine Barbara started Heavens, Phillip, 1 must return no one knows that 1 am out, nor do I w ish the mountain scenery for which the prc i is famous. The reception of this letter filled tha foul of Miss Kate with emotions of keen delight; and she determined to accept tha) alluring invitation of her young friend, the more joyously, as it would relieve, fo a time, the unbearable) monotony of th retired life she was then le,vl::ig. : It is not too much to ray that at this time Kate's existence at Windcn.ere, asher iieautifnl home was called, wan irksome almost lieyond endurance. She won completely under the fundi' Itnrr. of the woman Mai kham. who actedl in the double capacity of housekeejier for Mr. Dillon, and maid to herself; though her duties in the latter respect, were pure-ly a sinecure, as Kate had long ago de-clined any personal assistanca from her, preferring indeed, to do her own work, and keep in order her own wardrohe.with-ou- t the prying aid of the woman she so much detested. From the first. Kate had known that Mrs. Markham was merely a spy in the interest of her uncle Peter, though, for some time, she could hardly comprehend the reason of this course of action on hia part, and it was only by accident that she came into possession of the facts in th case, when she chanced to overhear a con-versation her uncle and Walter, and learned for the first time, to her hor-ror and consternation, of the plot to in-veigle her into a marriage with hep riousin! i From that moment her life at Winde-me- re had become a constant terror. She feared to move about the house fearing to encounter her cousin, feared to ramble in the grounds which had once lieen to her a source of exquisite pleasure. to ride in the dread of young Dillon ol.'rr-in- g to drive her out, feared to walk down the pleasant sunny roads to the village, a walk in which she took great delight, and which always ended in a visit to the little circulating library kept by little Miss Pinkleton, the pretty old maid, who was full of pleasant gossip, and at whose table, many a time Miss Kate had eaten her cake and drank her tea, to the vast de-light of the little woman who loved tha handsome Kate as if she were, her own child. Poor Miss Pinkleton had a romance in her life; and many of the old neighbors used to say that when she was young, many, many years ago, she was the pret-tiest girl in the country for miles around. They used to tell of handsome John Stan-ley who courted little Miss Pinkleton and indeed was engaged to lie married to her a brave manly fellow as tall again as the pretty girl he loved with blue eyes and yellow hair, which, little Miss Pinkle-ton used to say when she did s)ieak of her romance "would be called golden' if it were on a young lady's head;" but John had gone to sea, as mate of the bark "A-lbatross," and John had never been heard of since; and ttrtt. said the patient little circulating library woman "was nigh on thirty years ago!" But these little te were over for poor Kate now. and she pined at home, ' fervently praying that her cousin would soon take his departure ; and she was greatly astonished one morning to learn from Mrs. Markham. that Walter Diljon had taken up his residence altogether at the mansion, aiA thereafter Kate was al-most entirely confined to her room. This kind of life began to tell on the fair girl the roses fled from her cheeks,, and her step grew gradually listless she lived among her piano and her books, she was an excellent musician and a painter of more than ordinary talent in either department Madam Devenent used to say ' that she could make a fine living if the riches of her father took unto themselves - , , . wings and flew away. But was this seclusion tho only cause of Kate Dillon's pallid cheeks, or listless weary steps? Was there not something more potent at work to create the strange languor and lassitude that was gradually taking jxissession of hert Indeed there was. Something totally unsuspected by the environed girl, but thoroughly understood by twojof the inmates of Windemere. Mrs. Markham knew the cause of the gradual change in the physical appear- - atice of the poor girl, and she was patient-ly expecting another change, and one more terrible still. What was it!

One saw it in the big diamond on his shirt front, the rings on his fingers, the long gold chain which hung from his neck over his dark velvet vest, in the marks of dissipation which, though they could be hardly minted out, still seemed apparent in all aUiut him. Suddenly he paused in hia walk "I tell you what, it is father, something must be done, and that soon to get on this mar-riage. From what you tell me, we have no means of our own, and I may as well be plain with y I mut have five thous-and dollars, there is no need to argue tluit point," for his father seemed aliout to in-terrupt him. "if I don't get it immediate-ly then I must do the next best thing, and you know what that is. Come! I'll go a little farther and be plainer still! Thim marriaffs must take plaeA,and ilaii milft-- in three months. It is for your interest as well as mine. If she were to fall in love she might marry at any time. Where would you he then eh? Thrown over en-tirely! Whereas, should we succeed in this matter, you as well as myself, are fixed for life, and this mansion, or palace rather for I have seen worse ones in Eu-rope these grounds and this multitude of beauties, and near a million liesides, are our own all ourown!" The young man's eyes sparkled, his face flushed, and he gazed down uiKin the old man with a look of triumph his whole being aglow with enthusiasm. His father was no less excited than himself, and he rubbed his bony hands together, and gave forth a prolonged His cold, good sense however, soon came to the surface. 'That's all very well my son, all very well, but we must have a little patience. Let me work on that girl's will. I'll bring it down! I'll bring it down!" and the bony hands were again twisted and rubbed together ? and in the meantime you must be with her as much aa possible. Mark-ham is keeping an eye upon her, so I have no fear of lovers coming in to ujiset our plans. How easily all this might have been arranged if you had only guarded your name and reputation. She might have loved you, and you might have mar-ried out of iiand without resort to trails or plans." "Yes, there you go again, still harping on reputation drop that right there and let us work with the material we have, and if you do your part I havn't any doubt of final success. In the meantime I must have money." "You say you want money ?" "Yes, I must have five thousand dollars them to good night! , T will accompany you, Barlmra!" j 'No, indeed! 1 would much rather lie alone good night, dear dear Phillip," and Barbara broke away from her lover and moved rapidly in the direction of her boarding-hous- e. Phillip Blake looked after her retreat-ing form for a moment, whistled lowly to himself; ceased his whistling, and ejacu-lated "What a furnace of Love!" and moved on into the lights of the town. ClIArTER III. A RSTROGRADB MOVBMKXT IN WHICH WB I.KABlf 80MKTHING OK Ot'B HKR01NK. We go back a few months anterior to the events already recorded, and to a lovely and enterprising town a few miles from the city of Boston, and about fifty miles distant from the community of spin-dles where the Corporation Boarding-hous- e of the buxoin Mrs. Moriarty is lo-cated. We had determined in tha original plan of this story, to conceal the names of cer-tain toraltt, as many of our incidents have foundation in real life, and as a few of our characters are moving and "living facts ;" but the lieautiful suburb of Brookline, just outside the city, is too enchanting a place for literary disguise, and it is there the present exigencies of our story calls us. Snuggled among the trees, and far back from the wide and shady lanes leading from the highway, is a stone mansion of great architectural beauty, a magnificent lawn of velvet green, divided at the far-ther end by a splendid gravel driveway, rolls smoothly down to a low stone wall which runs along the front of the grounds for more than two hundred yards. Beau-tiful elms line the walks, and in the rear of the mansion is a spacious and lieautiful conservatory, the grounds about which are laid out with rare taste and excellence the fragrance of almost every species of flowers, verbenas, heliotropes, pansies, geraniums, and blushing carnations nod a welcome to the morning winds, and give a simple beauty to the place, impossible al-most for our prosaic pen to describe. Further back is a beautiful sheet of wa-- j ter with a boat-hous- e on either bank.while a couple of gaily-painte- d boats float light-ly at their moorings. Opulence and ex-quisite taste is indicated on every hand. The very stables on the grounds, beauti-ful enough for a private residence, speaks of great wealth and lavish exjienditure. In this luxurious home resided Mr. Pe-ter Dillon, together with his son Walter, and his neice, Kate Dillon, a young lady of great beauty and mistress of all the ac-complishments taught at the famous sem-inary of Madam Devenant, many of whose pupils were among the leading belles and most accomplished ladies of the land; for Madam had been a teacher of the eoriid fine arts at Hazeldeanfor nearly aquarter , of a century it is enough then to say "Well, if you must, I suppose you must but, it's hard Walter." "Pshaw! What is there hard about it it dosn't come from your pock " "'Sh lie careful of your tongue, Wal- -, ter isn'Uhere someone at the door look and seef" Walter Dillon opened the dnnr and found himself face to face with Mrs. Markham, she looked slightly disturbed, but she i was a very ready female, she only made a low bow, and handed a letter to Walter j saving, "for Mr. Dillon," and departed. The young man took the letter without ' the slightest suspicion that Mrs. Mark-- ! ham had been standing at the door for ; some time during the foregoing conver-sation. j In the meantime Mr. Dillon had opened his check-boo- k and filled out a draft for the amount his son had requested; this he gave to the young man saying: "that must last you some time Walter, for these continual pulls will soon complicate uf-- ! fairs!" Walter took the check ; carefully folded It and put it away in his pocket book. Kr.d left his honorable sire to the perusal of his letter. Chaptkr IV. KORB OF WIXDKMKHB. TUB CONSPIRATORS IS COUNCIL. AND THB plOTTISUg OF THB HorSBKBEPER. Several days after the events related in the last chapter transpired, Kate Dillon received a long letter from a young com-panion who hail graduated with her from the seminary of Madam Devenant, con-taining an invitation to her home among the .green hills of New Hampshire, and promising all sorts of pleasures in the way of parties, pic-nic- s and drives amid that Kate Dillon graduated at her Acade- -' my, to appreciate to the full, her accumu- - J lated graces and accomplishments. The elder Dillon was aliout Bixty years of age, and the legal appointed guardian of his neice Kate; and had taken up hia residence at Windemere aliout four years prior to the opening of our story; about which time the father of Miss Kate, a very excellent man, and charitable withal, died leaving his daughter whom he loved with the fondest affection, underthe guar-dianship of his brother Peter, a man who at the time of assuming his rolo of guar-dian, was engaged in 6ome kind of broker-age business. It was not known in the community whether or not he was a man of means but one thing was soon found out. and that was that he was a mean and selfish man evinced in the fact that upon the accession to the control of Simon Dil-lon's estate, he cut off all the charities in which the latter delighted in assisting (dis-charged all the old servants, many of whom had lieen on the place for years, and even sent away Kate's maid, Made-line, who had grown up in her service. He supplied the place of the latter with a peraon of his own selection, and with whom he seemed to be thoroughly ac-quainted. J She was about forty years of age, ur out oliseqnious, and constantly wate'led over the outgoings and incomings of her beautiful Mistress; and, in fact, kept t ver her such stringent guard, that Kate finally applied Jto her guardian for the woman's discharge. She was frightened at the answer she received. Dillon was sitting with his son, Walter, in the library, when she entered to make her complaints and pressed her requost. ili nn iiiK dreen Corn for aiuu-rlm- . Tho business of furnishing green coi n for cunning purposes is a growing one. and where land is not too dear it is proliiuble. Kven a low rate per dozen of ears amounts to n high price for corn after it is shelled and driod. Besides, in most localities, part of the crop may bo sold to city or village purchasers for home use, al a good deal better price than dinners can pay, tho latter acting as tho balance which furnishes a market when it would otherwise be glutted. Most kinds of sweet corn, especially those with small ears, average much more than one ear to a stalk, and sometimes nearly two ears on tho average of tho piece. THE FARM VXD HOME.

While the price for n dot n of i g js seldom falls below bit cents, yet the price of po.k ofle:i declines to five cents per poutd.

A house roo;n niado I'.iufortable and fully equipped for one locn hens costs no more than a shelter for a single horse or cov.'. Py com-paring the cost of feeding and cure, it is easy lo decide which is the most rt munerntive. At the present time there is more profit in eggs than in raising poultry for market, and yet u pound of poultry llesh t un lie raised as cheaply us tho arne amount of any other kind of meat, whllti it averages double the price of beef or pork to the producer. Crops tlint drain our land of its valuable propivties sometimes fail to give sutis-facto- ry returns. Now a flock of poultry, besides giving u direct, profit, ado piate to place tho in-dustry i onhocteil with theia above others of its elos. furnishes a fertilizer which is almost invulimblo in restoring our lands to their original fertility. Fowls are the best economizers on tho farm, since they pick up every stray i remb and ninny kernels of scat-tered grain, 1'i:ii unavoidably fall to tho ground and would otherwise be lost. They devour myriads of insect, pest, and. while thus protecting our crops from tle.:;-uct'on- they utilize the destroyer. The products of the poultry yard are among the luxuries which are within the farmer's reach, not, however, with-out some effort mid expense. What-ever is really worth having costs an elTort to secure. Too much has often been exported from hens, consider-ing the cure given to them. Many a poor biddy has been compelled to face the cold winds of Winter nights, roosting on fences or in the treo tops, while others hnve only the shelter of an open shed, und are obliged to sub-sist must of tho year on such scatter-ing bits of food as they can find for themselves. M;uiy a man. becauso he is obliged to feed his hens through the winter only enough to prevent starva-tion, coraph.his that the fowls are s'.i'i;dy because they do not lay who i c iocs are high. Now, if UiCi;o g;'..iie bins h::d been properly housed, n.vl fiive.i a little extra care and feed, t'ney wuld become, n paying invoslnient of n unoless expense.

It is just tis easy to havo her.s laying at any season of the year as to have cows give milk. There is no luck or chance n'mitt it. It is natural for hens to flrodueo eggs, and under favorable circumstances they will lay freely. It is reasonable to s.ippo.so that all who keep lion1: i.'r.i.t them lo lay well. How to fet tlw most egn with the least trouble and expense Is the question pressing for unswcr. Puoham.Y the newspaper writers in Italy, England, Germany and France who so lightly referred to the imper-fections'' of the I'nited Slates constitu-tion and the necessity" for its amend-ment wore hardly conscious of Iheir sublime Impertinence, but there is rea-son to believe that they will presently perceive their folly.

The pick-ings and stealings ought to make half a dozen Goulds and Vanderbills. Two men of Palmersville, Tenii., re-cently cut down a tree. On the trunk, about eight feet from the stump, was a gnarl which covered a little hollow. On cutting into the hollow, which had been completely overgrown, they found inside a frog which was lifeless but well preserved. By counting tho grains it was estimated that the tree was at least thirty years old. The frog had been preserved for years in "his air tight home. I.'ve Stuck Hint i':irm Nnici Thero is no wiiv of cleaning dirn milk. j Every part of the farm should pro--: d'.iee something of value, Sheep and hogs kept on a wooden j floor will often havo deformed hoofs, Sawdust is a good material to use for bedding during the spring und summer. In many cases millet makes a good crop to cut and feed out during the summer. Tho width of the fence run is an important item in considering the cost of fencing. Cleanliness of tho skin is one im-portant item in maintaining health with the horses. On old farms at least sheep can lie kept to an advantage in keeping weeds down in the pastures. Salt is food to make plant' food in tho soil available, but too much of it will destroy nil vegetation. Care should bo taken to make the work teams comfortable at night, so that they may enjoy their nights' rest. To a considerable extent, at least middle fences on the farm should be built, so that if necessary, they can bo readily moved. By letting the calf run with the cow you may havo the satisfaction of rais-ing a good calf, even if it does not provo profitable. Properly built, an all wire fence is moro durable than any other that can bo put up, and considering this, will in a majority of eases, be found the most economical. The offspring resembles the parent more frequently than it does the other ancestors, hence it is important to have the pcrs,oaal qualities of the animals j used for brooding of a good quality. Thk cruel persecution which tho czar of KusHia is waging against the Jews is disappointing to those who had begun to hope that this autocrat was going to become an enlightened ruler. Instead of this, he is placing himself with such blind despots as Louis the 14th, who in bigoted zeal for a creed inflicted an irreparable blow on the strength of his kingdom. We suspect however that the czar hm not even the poor excuse of the fanatic, but is Influenced solely by a mistaken view of state policy. During the past yenr there havt ' . been, in round numbers, 33,000 people t''- - ' ' wounded and 4,000 killed by the rail-roads in the United Suites. The rail-road managers say that, compared with the number of people transported, it is a very small percentage. True, but there have been as many killed and wounded as would have resulted from a summer campaign with an army of 10,000 on one side, in which ns many as ten pitched battles have been fought That would be very consid-erable of a sensation from a newsman's (standpoint.

Orits Is a government of law, and its liberty is the noblest freedom of the earth because it is conserved by law. Such a government has no place and no use for the vicious idler, the brutal pauper or the fugitive criminal from Europe, and the time has come when the law must assert its mastery over the hundreds of thousands of law-les- s immigrants in our midst. In this ef-fort every honest American working-man- , whether native born or natural-ized should heartily join. American workingmen are the sovereigns of the republic; they are the custodians of the priceless liberty we enjoy, and they are most of all interested in resolutely maintaining the liberty of law. Written Work. The value of written work is n longer questioned, and if teachers ar erring in this direction y it is in having too little oral work. The cor. rection of written work puzzles teach, ers even more than the relative import- - ance of oral and written work. In tin olden time teachers were made to feel that they must not only personally in- - spect, but correct as well, all the mis-- ' takes of all the pr.pils in all the written work The real value of correctioni consists in giving the child a correct for au incorrect form and then clinch-ing the correct form, sinkiugit into the automatic It pays to make corrections with class. A variety of methods may bo employed for this purpose. (1) Pass . about among the pupils as they write, and note an error among tho pupils at they write, ami note an error here and give a correct form there. By the lime they have linislied writiug.a large num-ber of the mistakes will have been cor-rected. (2) Have the pupils read theit own work and the work of one another. As they read. the ear of both pupils and teacher will detect many errors. Child-ren need more practice in reading their own writing, as well as the writ-ing of their fellows. (3) Have several' of the pupils transfer their written work to the blackboard, and let tha class make corrections. (4) Teacher read several papers to the class, and make corrections. Do not attempt to correct all the enors of every lesson. Take one class of mistakes, "or those common to the class, and dwell upoa them until they are no longer made. Take the matter of punctuatiou and give it the undivided force of your cor-rections until the pupils punctuate cor-rectly. Treat capitalization, paragraph-ing, spelling, penmanship, and correct forms of expression in a similar way.

Crosby, in Na-tional Stockman. Some think it will produce abortion, or will ruin tho but-ter, or do various other things to the injury of the cows or their product. Oil meal is made from flaxseed which is ground und the oil pressed out, leaving as residue u hard cake; this is reground and is then the oil meal or linseed meal of commerce. In tho old process oil meal thero is still from G to 8 per cent of oil. but this quantity is I not largo enough to injui-- cows when they nre fed very liberally with it. In ' fact it is this oil that makes tho old process meal so desirable as a footling j stuff In comparison with tho new pro-cess meal, from which the oil hs nearly all extracted. One effect of feeding oil monl !s to keep tho animal's bowels in good condition, and this Is just what we must do in the case of cows about to calve. It is at the same time a food containing all tho elements needed by the cow to grow tho calf to perfection, and when delivery takes place there is lews danger of retention of theplacentu. garget or that most dreaded of all diseases, milk fever. I have fed my cows nil w inter with u liberal feed of oil meal twice u day. and tho last one of tho herd calved I have hnd no trouble whatever with cows at calving time or after, and I can confi-dently advise dairymen lo use oil meal (old process) ns a part of their ration. I notice an inquiry in the Stockman of March o. from M. S. .., of Benllsville, Pa . who want- - to know if oil meal will produce garget, lie says he feeds from a pint and a half to two pints a day to eHeii cow. 1 have fed from thi-i- to five quarts a day to my-eo- ws till winter, ind as said above have had r.o to contend witn, so M. S 7.. must look for some other i for his two cases of garget. While the volume of desirable im migration, including the Saxons. th Celts and (iauts, is decreasing, the Latins, Huns and Slavs are rapidly multiplying in this country and are 'pouring in from Europe in an uninter-rupted stream. These people with all of their dangerous race traditions of blood and violence, innuculnte the body soeial and the body politic in America with tho deadly virus which has contaminated the European govern-ments furnishing this class of immi-grants. The result is seen in' the Mafia; in anarchy and socialism, which de-nies the right of properly, and iu man- -' ' ifestations of lawlessness. The e evils are the logical outgrowth of a lenient policy which admits, without question, the refuse population of tha Old World, and extends. hospitality without dis-crimination to the outcasts of Europe.
