She stated that Miss Mountjoy, the heiress, whs to be at the Hall, and that it I wus on the ground in time I might have a fair show to get hold of her for tune. Grant Morrall, who had been my rival always, was coming down later, and 1 had no doubt but that he would try himself to win the money if only to spite me. When T arrived at the Knelford station I was disappointed to hear that my sister had not sent down any carriage to meet me. The sta tion master informed me, that there was a young lady who wanted to go up to the Hall, and that we might go together in the stage. At once the thought flashed over me that thin must be Miss Mouutjoy, and I was delightod at the prospect of showing her my disinterested cour tesy. to She was a homely girl, but with rather a pleasant expression in her eyes, and I quite took a fancy to her. the by the y if on All the journey I busied myself making her comfortable ; rollet! up my elegant new overcoat to mako her a footstool, and sat in the draught of the door so as to protect her, and tried in numerous wuys to be attentive, chuckling at the thought of how I would forestall Morrall ! When we arrived at the hall I busied myself in seeing about her trunk, and was pleased to see how unostentatious was the little box studded with liras» nails that served as casket for lier numerous Parisian toilets, so different from the Sarato gas that most ladies owned. Almost in the same instant there was a rush of the hospitable Knel ford party, hostess, guests and all, out to welcome us, and I was borne in, momentarily losing sight of my Dulcinea, as I entered. "Here's your room, Egerton, all ready," cried Leonie, "but we didn't expect you Until to-morrow. The moved forward the cushioucd arm chair as she spoke in front of the meery wood fire that glanced and flickered on the marble hearth, making the room look so indescrib ably cosey, with its warm-colored hangings and warm crimson carpet. "Come, make haste with your dressing," she went on, buBily. "Don't be all the evening." "I'll be ready presently," I said. The cold water in my head was be ginning to make itself visible—I sneezed two or three times. "Dear, dear," cried Leonie, "wlmt a cold you've got." "It's nothing," I said, and I sneezed again. "Well, be as quick as you eau. I want to introduce you to Miss Mountjoy." "Hang you ! I'm already acquaint ed with Miss Mouutjoy." "Already ? Oh, you sly wretch ; where have you seen her ?" "Travelled with her ! I got this cold in my head taking off my over coat for her to rest her feet upon !" "Travelled with her? Where? When ?" "In the stage from Delford's Cor ner to-day." "But she came day before yestcr a day. "Day before yesterday ! I echoed my astonishment checking the lit of sneezing which just trembled in my nostrils. "Then who was it came in the stage with me, in the black al paca dress ?" "That girl ! Why that was the new cook." "The new cook ! Confusion it all ! and I paid her fare, and gavu her my seat, and made love to her, thinking all the while she was Miss Mountjoy !" Leonie hurst into an hysteric lit of laughter. "Oh, Egerton ! you with all your fastidious ideas, not to know a ser vant woman from Miss Mountjoy ! \yhy Ida is tall and palo, with a face like a Greek statue, and this girl is—oil, goodness gracious !" Some people would have flown into a passion, some would have groaned in threatrical despair, only sneezed, and sneezed, and i .et ter sneezed, as tho oanny Scots say. "Send me up some mustard water and a bowl of hot catnip tea—and I'll go U> hed 1" I said curtly. "And not see Ida at all ? A elZe I And Grant Morral has been here two days !" "Grant Morrall be hanged !" So 1 turned Leonie out of my room before she could utter any fur ther remonstrances. I kept my room one week with that hideous influenza, cheered only by aching bones and throbbing tom pies. Mary Jennings, the "new cook," sent up several dainty dishes, "and hoped the gentleman who was so kind to her was better,*' but I deigned neither to taste her knick knacks nor answer her message, and when ut length I emerged from my room, looking very much the worse for wear, Miss Ida Mountjoy was receiving the congratulations of all the guests at Knclford. She had promised to become Mrs. Grant Morrall !" Of course the pretty country place had no more attractions for me ; but when I casually spoke of my inten tion to bike an early departure, Grant Morrall looked very wise and "hoped that Mrs. Wharton's dis charging her new cook so suddenly had nothing to do with my going." I looked daggers at him, but con And Miss descended no reply. Mountjoy's soft little laugh added to my discomfiture. A Railway Catechism, How many miles of railway in the United States ?

Mrs. Blatoh, the daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is making speeches in England in favor of home rule. She is an orator of un usual eloquence, and a very pretty woman. Sailor hats of white mull shirred on reeds of cards arqund the brim and crown are stylish. A bunch of some white flowers, daisies, or lilies of the valley, placed high up behind the crown, adds to the effect. Upper-ten young ladies in Lond on society have adopted photogra phy as their pet diversion. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe has learn to speak Frenoh' Italian and mod ern Greek since her marriage.

You seem perfectly wrapped up in it. I love to watch you on the stage when you gaze upward in that soulful way of yours as you come to some particularly emotional passage.

On a farm, as everywhere else, work should be properly divided, so that the weight of the burden should be borne by no one person. There m list be some deviation from the p'an after it is made, but the endeav or should be to leave no work for somebody. It seeme to be every wheae the case that some will per form no labor unless forced to do so, while others are always looking for work to do and performing the task for others. In this way important matters are neglected—some should be workers arc permitted to become shirks, some arc made drudges. The several tasks to be done should be daily assigned by father and mother with the most perfect justice, avoiding giving the disagreeable task invariably to the child that has no choice but obedience, and who cherises in his heart, "When I am a man I'll get out of this, I will go as fur from a farm as possible." On the other hand as carefully refusing to perform all disagreeable duties personally to save the child. It is equally necessary to be just in assigning work to hired help. It should be generally understood that the agreeable and the disagreeable tasks are each to be justly shared, and the moment that is done trouble is at an end. Each feels that it is fair that he should performs his share of those duties that he dislikes doing, and each knows that tasks agreeable to him are equally so to others, and gladly divides his pleas ures. If there is to be anything like an even division, let the shirks fare the worst. Always making certain that that it is not a natural taste for a certain kind of work that cannot be overcome, or an avoiding of labor, because of health and strength. Nowhere else is there greater need of the "pull all together" principle than on the farm. Success is assured only when the mutual interests and responsibility is felt, and each takes his share of the work, performing it cheerfully. Care of Work Horses. It is foolishly cruel to make a horse work in dust and hot sun for hours without water. In &ummer give water at least five times a day. If the horse is warm make him drink slowly. Give him all the water he wants before meals, none after ; he will want none if his food is moistened. Money is made by giving water of an agreeable tem perature, winter or summer. If the horse has been hard at work give no water until he has rested 15 minutes nor food for thirty minutes. Drive slowly the first hour after a meal. Allow the horse to roll on dry earth or sawdust once a day at least. The evening is the best time. Then at once groom him thoroughly out'ide the stable, grooming cleanses the hide as the hair.

Common salt is a necessity for all our domestic animals. It prevents as well remedies many disorders of the digestive organs ; and in young stock it prevents the 'accu mulation of worms in the intestinal canal. When not used to free ac cess to common salt at all times from colthood, horses are apt to partake too freely of the same, and the thirst thereby created causes them to drink so freely of water to produce diarrhoea. Salt the ani mal must have, and we have always advocated its continual presence where they could lia ve access to it at all times, instead of mixing it among their food, or giving it at certain or uncertain intervals, and perhaps in sufficient quantity. If common salt in grain or powered condition is partaken of too greed ily, lump salt, or so called rock salt, should be procured. A lump of rock-salt should be in every manger and box upon the farm. This the master must continually see too ; it is a screw- that is continually fly ing from the hired man's inclina tion or memory. Some don't like it ; some won't recollect. They will object if you scatter salt upon damp hay, should you he so unlucky as to have been caught by the rain ; al though they see their horses tively enjoy the apparently mouldy liny which had been so doctored ; and you would utterly fail if were to attempt to persuade them that, for a lick of salt the cattle will gallop by water on the burning wastes of Africa. as ]>081 you Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
