Ouo evening, about two yours 110, I
weut to spi ii'l a coujilij of hours with
my Ueitr old friend and neighbor, Mini:,
tie Lorgercl. Awaro of her cxtruinu
fondness for ilowers, I took with mo a
bunch of yellow roses, her especial fa
vorites. On this evening, as on many
another, 1 found her with an old gen
tleman who had about a year before
come into that neighborhood to take
possession of an adjoining jrojerty,
left him by a distant relative on condi
tion he would change his name to that
of Descoudrais. I was quite- jealous of
the intimacy thut soon had sprung up
between him and my dear old friend.
On the evening in question they were
busy over a game of 'irie-trac." I en
tered softly, so as not to disturb them,
and waited until the game was over to
present my roses. Mine, do Lot-gcrel's
face was brightened with genuine de
light, but, to my astonishment, M.
Descoudrais became most strangely ab
stracted and thoughtful.
"Would you believe it, my friend,"
ho said, at length, "those Ilowers have
evoked, as if by enchantment, a whole
epoch of my youth, lor a few mo
ments 1 was again 2 ) years of age, and
in lovo with a woman, who, if living,
must now bo fully Co years old. 1 will
toll you the whole story, one that in
fluenced my whole after-life even now,
when old ago has left mo barely ener
gy enough to play at tric-trac, tho re
membrance of my youthful lovo fills
mo with emotion."
(Jver forty years ago, just alter I
had left college, my father, without
consulting me, sought to obtain a post
for mo in a certain regiment quartered
in tho littlo town of X -, for which
piaoo I received orders to depart at
once. This was distressing news for
more than ono reason; I had no special
lovo for tho army, though that objec
tion was no great one, aw at that lime
of my life, tho nioro sight of a gay uni
form or tho sound of martial music
Bulliced to lire my ambition into becom
ing a Ciesar or ua Achilles. Hut, worst
of all, 1 was in love, und dated not tell
my father, whoso answer, 1 knew,
would have been an order hastening
my departure. Fortunately I had an
uuelo and what an uncle! At that
time ho was as old as I am.uow, though
still retaining all tho vigor and fresh
ness of youth. Ho was tho confidant
of our follies, loves, debts and aspira
tions, 1 went to him:
' Uncle, I am most unhappy."
"1 bet twenty louis you are not!"
"Ah, uncle, do not lost besides you
would lose your bet.'
"If 1 lose, I pay. l'erhaps that might
help to console you."
"No; money has nothing to do with
my wretchedness. Father has just ac
cepted a lieutenancy for mo in the
regiment."
"A misfortune, indeed! Tno uniform
is most becoming, and all the olUoers
are gentlemen."
"But, undo, 1 don't wish to bo a sol
dier." "Not a soldier! Aro you a coward,
by chanco?"
"I do not yot know, uncle; neverthe
less), I know you aro tho only man that
might daro doubt my courage. "
"Well, Cid, my boy, what is your ob
jection to tho army?
"I wish to marry."
"Nonsense!"
"Nonsense or no nonsense, I am in
lovo."
"And you call that a misfortune! I
would I wcro in lovo niysolf. Who is
ahoP"
"Oh, uncle! an angol!"
"Of courso I knew that before; thoy
always aro angels. What I ask is to
what namo your angel answers whon
they call her?"
"NaomL"
"Humph! Naomi might bo enough
for you; but I would liko to know to
what family this angel belongs?''
"Sho is a Miss Amelot."
"Indeod! Then sho is truly an angel.
A tall, graceful brunette, with dark
eyes, soft as velvet. I approvo your
choice."
"And if you but knew her"
"I do know her. Does she lovo you?"
"I do not know."
"What! not know! You aro un
worthy of me. At her house every
evening and yet not know if sho loves
you!"
"Sho does not even know of my
love."
"I'shaw! little you know about it.
Sho knew you loved her at least fifteen
minutes before you knew it yourself."
"What 1 do know, at all events, is
that I will die if slie bo not mine!"
Oh, no! Softly, my boy. There aro
many reasons why sho should not be
vours. Your father is far ricln r than
H ura anil ixcitiil.l n nnap itn u..i.i 4 I. t
would never consent to the
match."
"In that case, uncle,
I know what I
will do " .
"Nonsense! Do nothing silly. Lis
ten to me. You cau not marry at 20."
"Whj not?"
"Because I do not wish it, and with
out me this marriage can never take
plaoe."
Oh, dear ancle, I beg "
"If the girl lores you, and is willing
to wait three year "
"Three years!"
"Peace, or I shall say 'oar. II
wlllingr then, to wait throe years, you
will Join your regiment"
Oh, uncle!"
"But not this ono. I will havo you
exchangod into ono quartered within a
fow niilos, and you may como homo for
three months every year until tho term
of probation Is over. '
"Well, if it must bo But how shall
I know if .sho loves meP''
"Why. ask her, of courso."
"Oh, I should never dare."
"Well, then, oboy your father, and
pack oil' at once."
"Ah, uncle, you do not know Naomi.
A hundred times havo 1 tried to declaro
my passion; I havo even composed
speeches, and learned them by heart;
but at tho moment of speaking my
courago wanes, and each word chokes
me. Her expression is so sweet, but
yet so gravo. Tho man worthy of her
is not born. Writing was useless.
When my elVusions were penned and
ready to bo sent, their utter foolishness
struck mo so forcibly that I was at
pains to tear my notes into small
pieces."
"Nevertheless, you must niako up
your mind to spoak at onco. Your
father has not told you all; ho sends!

a good match no protestations thi3
is as nothing, if you are really in lovo
with Naomi. Lovo is folly but it is
a kind of folly I should regret never
having been guilty of. Old peoplo may
call it nonsenso, but perchance, tho
non3enso is theirs. If the girl loves you
you must sacrilico all for her 'tis stu
pid, maybe, but right. Wo must first
ascertain if sho loves you, and now is
tho time, for they seek to marry hor.
Ah, ha! that makes you shudder and
grow pale! You long to have your ri
val at sword's point, as wo used to say
in my young i:tvs. Well, courage; fare

but one is always expected to make the
declaration. If she loves you sho
must for you are handsome, young ami
clever. If she is willing to wait, write
mo so in a letter which I may keep;
then I will prevent this other all'air,
get your exchange, and in three years
marry you to Naomi in spito of your
father in spite of tho devil himself."
"I have an idea."
"Well?"
"1 will write to her."
"Very well."
"After leaving my dear uncle, I sot
about writing that note. Tho writing
was no ditlieult matter, for I had done
it a hundred times before; tho puzzle
was how to givo it to her. However,
Ihoro was no time for indecision, so I
soon made tin my mind, and, having
purchased a bunch of yellow roses, I
slipped my declaration in among tho
flowers. I still recall tho words of that
noto. After declaring my passion, I
besought Naomi to lovo mo a littlo in
return, and to wait threo yours lor
ma. If sho consented, I asked her, as
a sign, to wear ono of my roses that
evening. Then would I daro to speak
of my of our future plans."
"Ah! you hid that note in tho bou
quet?" breathlessly interrupted Mine.
Lorgerel.
"Yes, madame."
"And then?"
"Well, Naomi wire no flower that
evening, i was desperate, and in my
misery sought to take my life. My
good uncle look mo to Clermont, stayed
there two months, and did all in his
power to distract my thoughts from
Naomi, declaring sho could never real
ly havo cared for me."
" "But, uncle," I used to object, "she
always seemed so pleased to see me,
and reproached mo so gently when I
camo later than usual."
"Women seek tho lovo of all men,
but caro for very few."
At length I succeeded in banishing
Naomi's imago from my heart. I mar
ried the Colonel's daughtor, who,
eight years Inter, left mo a childless
widower. My dear undo has been long
dead, and I am now alono In the world.
Would you believe it, my friends? I
often to this day think of Naomi, and
sho is still to mo, though now quito an
old lady, the Naomi of my story my
first lovo a tall, graceful girl, with
auburn hair, and, as my uncle used to
say, black, velvet eyes."
"You know not what became of her?"
"No, madamo."
"Then your namo is not 'Descou
drais'?" "No; that is tho namo of my uncle's
estate; in;no is d'Altheim."
"I knew it!"
"Why? how?"
"I will tell you what become of Na
omi sho loved you."
"But tho noto tho roses? '
"She never found your note. Your
sudden departure cost her many bitter
tears, and then sho married M. do Lor
gerel." "M. do L irgerel?"
"Whose widow I am."
" Then you you are Naomi Amelot?"
"Yes; just as you are, or rather, as
you are not, the Kdmond d'Altheim ol
my youth."
"To think we should meet one day as
strangers!"
"Yes, and then only to play at tric
trac" "The roses "
"Are here. 1 always kept them."
And Mnn. do Lorgerol, with hands
'.hat trembled slightly, drew from an
ibuny cabinet near by tlio withered
bunch of yellow roses.
"Unfasten them, .quick!" exclaimed
M. Descoudrais. She did so, and there
among the llower, now almost dust,
found the note, where it had lain con

THE WATF.lt SlTl'LY FOR FARMS.
The natural supply of water for prai
rie farms is generally not what is do
sired. There is generally quite too
much surface water during tho springy
and tho latter portions of the fall, and
a great'scarcity of water at thoso sea
sons of tho year when it is most want-
ed for stock purposes, ihoro aro

ly to contain too many
purities for domestic purposes as for
stock. Where tho surfaco of tho ground
is quito level there aro few streams
that furnish good water, (iood springs
aro also scarce Whero they do exist
they aro likely to bo on quito low
ground that tilfirds too littlo fall for
carrying off the water. Thoy aro ac
cordingly likely to becomo filled up, if
they are neglected, as thoy generally
are. Tho water saturates tho soil for
a considerable distance about them and
causes a luxuriant growth of undesira
ble vegetation. It is often easy to clean
out these springs and to convey the
water they afford by means of pipes to
troughs, which can bo located on dry
ground whero animals can drink with
out sinking into the mud. Tho basin
excavated about tho spring cau bo in
closedif it is a pasture so that cat
tle will not enter it and render the wa
ter muddy. The fall necessary for con
veying water through a pipe need bo
but slight, provided it is uniform. An
inclination of one foot in a hundred is
amply sufficient to sccuro a good flow
of water. If the pipes aro composed of
suitable material, and aro carefully
placod in position, an inclination of
six inches in a hundred feet is sufficient.
The pipes may bo of wood, lead, or
iron. Generally iron pipes, such as aro
employed for convoying gas, will bo
found to bo the cheapest. Tho lengths
aro fastened together with screw coup
lings that aro easily adjusted. If dc
sirablo a faucet can bo fastened at tho
end where the water is discharged. If
tho pipes aro quite small tho end at
which tho water enters should bo pro
tected by wiro gauze, that will keep out
grass and other substances that will
obstruct the flow of water.
Excellent water may often be ob
tained from tho springy places on tho
sido al tho slight elevations on prairie
farms. Sometimes an aero or more of
laud in such a situation is permanent
ly moist, and tho ground in such a con
dition as respects moisture that it can
not bo put in cultivated crops. It pro
duces grass, but is very diflicult to cut
it with a machine, as tlio horses draw
ing it will bo likely to sink in tho moist
ground. It is difficult to curotho grass
when cut. If the land Is devotod to
pasturage it will bo of littlo value. Tho
quality of tho grass will bo poor. The
surface will bo uneven, as cattlo will
break tho soil in tramping over it,
Thero is a good supply of water some
where on tlio ground. Although tho
location of the spring is not visible,
careful investigation at the time of year
when the ground is driest will general
ly result iu discovering whero tho
water issues from the subsoil and ap
proaches tho surface. Tho place may
often bo located by tho uso of a strong
pointed stake. By taking out a fow
spadesful of earth hero and thero, it
can bo ascertained whero tho water
fills tho cavity quickest. A woll-defln-od,
boiling spring may ofteu bo found
with littlo trouble. When it is found
all that i3 necessary to do to obtain a
good supply of excellent water is to
make a suilablo excavation, to wall it
up with stouo liko a well or to placo
a hogshead in it. Tho water may bo
conveyed from tho spring thus improv
ed by means of a pipe as beforo sug
cestod. Sometimes thero is no well
lieliuod spring that is, no considerable
amount of water issues from tho sub
soil in any particular spot, although a
largo qnantity approaches tho surface
within the distance of a few rods.
Whon this is tho case tho judicious em
ployment of tilo will carry off tho wator
to a reservoir at which cattle can drink
or from which it can bo convoyed to a
pasturo some distance off. The re
claiming of tho laud and rendering it
tit for producing annual crops and
good grass and clover will moro than
pay tho cost of doing tho drainago and
utilizing the water drawn off for stock
purposes.
Tho cost of digging and stoning up
wells is not usually very great, biit tho
cost in labor of raising tho water is
considerable. It is very hard work to
raise water from a well for a largo
stock of cattle, oven if one has tho ad
vantage of a srood hand-pump. Wind
mills for raising water aro expensive to
buy, and in this part of tho country,
whero violout winds prevail, they aro
very liable to injury. Persons owning
farms that join would do well to com-.
bine in digging wells to supply water
for stock and in the purchase of wind
mills. Ono largo well and a good wind
mill may often servo for supplying wa
ter sufficient for tho stock kept ou four
farms. By having tho pastures on tho
portions of tho farms that form corners
near where tho well is situated the
stock kept in all of them may bo sup
plied with water during tho summer at
a comparatively small outlay for oach
farmer. Tho water may bo raised and
stored in an elevated tank, from which
it can bo conveyed to a drinking
trough in each of the four pastures. If
occasion requires it may bo conveyed a
long distanco in tubos placid above the
surfaco of the ground. Thero are many
advantages in Laving more than one
place in a pasture where animals can
drink. Especially is this the case when
the weather Is quite warm. Daring
the Tory hot days in July and August
cajtle will not unfrequently suffer from
thirst rather than travel a considera
ble distance to obtain water. Farmers
can combine to good advantage in
sinking artesian wells. The cost of
conveying the water from one farm to
another is much loss than that of sink
ing a well. Ono well, if properly sit
uated, may bo mado to supply several
farms with water. By a jud cious ar
rangement of pipes tho water may be
conveyed into tho house, stable, feed
ing yard, and pasture. Few persons
appreciate tho great convenience of
water obtained without tho trouble of
raising it from well or cistern.
WOMEN AS Ht LIT GROWERS.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tri
bune writes from Lacon, 111.:
Thero is many a town whero berries
and grapes aro scarce and nono seen
upon tho market. Thero Is, in every
such villago or city, ono person at least
who could do a great deal toward sup
plying this deficiency in fruit, and at
tho same timo helping themsolvcs fi
nancially. This letter is written for
tho special benefit of women, but men
aro not debarred from taking some of
tbo advico themselves.
Many a widow, with a large garden
spot or a few acres of land, has a hard
time to keep tho wolf at bay and pro
vide a support for herself and family.
Any woman can mako a successful
living by raising berries, and any wo
man' who docs raise them can had a
quick and profitable markot for tho
berries in her own town. Tho peoplo
would bo glad to patronizo such a de
serving person, and success would
surely crown tho efforts of tho grower.
Tho real, hard work of raising ber
ries is at the beginning. At the very
first opening of tho idea of such a busi
ness; at tho timo you arc wondering,
doubting, and guessing; at the initial
steps, there comes tho hardest work of
tho wholo business getting yourself
reconciled to yourself for the start and
overcoming discouragements. Tho suc
ceeding days, months, and years that
you aro engaged in this delightful and
fascinating occupation will be as noth
ing so far as hard and worrying anxie
ty is concerned as compared to tho
strain of making the first cll'ort.
All that is necessary is to raiso tho
berries, and just beforo they aro ready
for market go to tho local grocer and
say to him that you havo a quantity of
berries to put on tho market. Ho will
sell them for you, charging 10 or 15
per cent for his services if ho pays you
cash, but paying you full rotail price
if ho pays you in goods for the fruit.
Thus your market is sccurod, and all
you need do will bo to put your crop
into boxes and thoso into cratos hold
ing sixteen or twenty-four boxes. Those
boxes and cratc3 are very cheap. The
marketing of berries is simple and easy
and need give no caro to the woman
who raisos fruit.
It is not easy to think of a work
which uffords a moro independent, re
spectable, healthful, and pleasant oc
cupation than is found in tho cultiva
tion of small fruits. A woman of reas
onably industrious habits cau in a short
timo becomo independent through tho
cultivation of two or threo variotios of
fruit, even if sho does not add to that
work, as sho can easily, tho keeping of
'bees, of poultry, or of sonic other oc
cupation which may bo followed at
homo without interfering with tho care
of the fruit.
I have not named any special kinds
of fruit that I thought best to grow,
for that is a very difficult thing to do
without knowiug tho circumstances of
each case; but as an easy fruit to han
dle, and a prolitablo one, with tho
greatest average certainty of success, I
would name tho strawberry.
I hope that some women will give
this idea more than a passing thought
and act on this advice, for I know that
they could mako it win.
RYE AS A KOKAGE CKOl.
Winter pasturage can bo obtained in
no hotter way than by sowing rye in a
tield of growing corn between tho mid
dlo of August and tho first of Septem
ber. It may bo sown broadcast and
coverod with a light harrow or cultiva
tor, such as is often used for working
corn, or it may bo put in with a- ono
horso sood drilL It will bo several in
ches high and will completely oover
tho ground by the time tho corn is ripe
enough to harvest. If tho corn is husked
on tho stalks or tho ears are picked off
and husked in the barn, tho stalks with
their leaves will protect tho rye all
winter. Stock turned into tho field af
ter the corn is husked will find an
abundance of both green and dry food.
Tho ryo will furnish tho first and the
corn loaves tho last. If tho winter is
an opon ono cattlo can obtain a bito of
groon food till grass appears in tho
spring. Tho ryo will commenco grow
iug as soon as tho frost loaves tho soil,
and will all'ord tho first green food.
Early in tho spring tlio corn stalks
should bo cut closo to tho ground. Af
ter affording excellent pasturage in
early spring, the ryo and corn stalks
can bo turned under and tho ground
planted in corn again. This plan of
securing green food during the winter
is quito largly practiced in tho states
south of the Ohio river, with tho best
results, and it is deserving of trial in
many other sections of the country.
The cost of the seed is trifling and tho
labor attending the seeding very small.
Tno value of the rye that is turned un
der is considerable in keeping up tho
fertility of the soil. Animals arc cheap
ly kept aud they thrive well in a field
where thero is both green and dry food.
Their droppings aro deposited whero
they aro wanted so that tho labor of
handling manure is saved. Poultry
keepers will find a ryo field very bene
ficial in parts of tho country whero the
snow-fall is light.
We loarn from tho Colonics that a
monkey signalman manages tho rail
way traflic at Witenhage, South Africa
The human signalman lias had tho mis
fortune to lose both his legs, and has
trained a baboon to dischargo his duties.
Jacko pushes his master about on a
trolly, and under his direction works
tho lever to set tho signals, with a most
ludicrous imitation of humanity. Ho
puts down the lever, looks around to
too that tho correct signal is up, and
watches gravely the approaching train,
his master being at hand to correct
any mistake.
