Viien Lina entered the room she rose and bowed In a reserved manner. 'May I k the nature of your vbit here?" osked Li Da. 4,A servant of yours arrived at the house of a Mrs. Harris to day, where I was visiting, andheaiiuk: her rafc cf wanting a nurse for your hiuband, I thought I would apply for the situation, ls I am in need of such." "Can you :ive references!" "As n-acy as yon want." "Have yes been used to c urging gentlemen?'' "I would ratber nurse himI mean a gentleman than a lady." "And what do you charg per week?" "Whatever yoa think is right." "Will tea Cellars catisfy you?;' "Indeed, yau are very kind, for that is more than I expected." "Your razee, please?" "Madam Peei Is my name." "Then, madam, would yoa care to enter upon your tk at once, as f have company, andmuatof course entertain him?" "I will do so willingly, ts I will be much happier than sitting idle." "After removing her basnet and veil aha followed Lina up the 6tairaand into her bedroom. Hz. Woodruf was fitting In an invalid s iLt:r in front cf tte grate, as It was a very co' d day. Lina introduced him to Ma am l:eek. then kis ed him affectionately on the forHtjead and l-ft the room, promising to return soon with Vrthur. Is there anvthin I can do for yon, tir?,: asked Madam Heek. '.Nothing now. Ali I want 13 ret, and yen look as if you needed theaamd." 'l am not tired in tb.8 least, so do net heeitat? to n ZZ2 to do anytin.-" "Hot ditljoi happen to arrive here ao scon?' "1 -ai tt th9 hou?e of Mrs. Harris when jcurrvant arrived.'' "Ai d did you see my Mcta, my darling chiM?" ' Ye1, wanted to como home." ! vrcutd to Gcd she tad; yet it is best a itla" She loves jen very much, and ia very unhappy ftway ircm you." "If I could prevent it I would not allow her to reniainaay from me another hour." "Ua7e jcu been ill lorp, sir?" "It fete ma a lens while to me, but it is only since I rttr.rned from my niece's wed dins. iou3t.ll..- c'ovrn, r.o-.v, I am very weak," he .akl, in a fettle voice. "Lean on my ehculder, I am strong," ursed lie fair nurse. He did lean on her pbonlder, and It was all the little woman in bisck conld do to bear up under the weight. 8he smoothed his pillows, &ve him some wino and then bade him try to sl&ep. But thj entrance cf Lina Rd Arthur put an end to that for avhiie. Mr. Wocdruf and Arthur were glad to meet 8,rain. When Arthur inquired after his heaitn Lina turned away from the bed ard went to the window. Madam Keek retired thi, and ehe also noticed the deathly pallor o! her f&ca. What could it mean? 1 erfcap 9 sha thought her husband was going to die. If fo, they must tend for a physician in mediately. And when Arthur epoke or this to Mr. Woodruf. the fatd: "Can t ta possible, eir, that you have had no medical advice?" My wife did not think it necessary, nor did I." "Thtn.sir, I will teU von that from all rprfaTance8 your case need immediate attention, and unless von are willing to cill in a phys cir.n, I must resign my poitioa as nurt?." "Ho' amiLar your voice somds, Madam. I will Et-t alift?? you to leave me; but do ts vou think bei!, ßraden, t-Ier--ph tj N3v York for one in the morning.'' "I will do si yet to ni:;ht, if you think it tfceisary," sid Arthur. "A few hoars later can make r.3 dit!"(?r- - nce; I esidej you muit bt tired af:er voar ride. 1 ''Not the least bif ; and if you will allow n.'e, I will remain with yoa tooiight." "It ia not rec?s&ary, Arthur, as I will be with him, and Madaia Keek will be within 1 e?r e '," interrupted Lina. "I car; siv, Lina, Madam Ileek would lite to have ret, this first night," said Mr. Woodinf. "No, co, sir; I cr.me h?re tonnrsa'you back to ho.!th. I am strong and mean to do my tiu:y." Ti e bell rarg tnd Lfna and Arthur went down to tf a alone, Mad tin Kjk refusing to JetTQ her charge. Lina was once more hj-py, bavlr.? her lover with her.

He was once more esleep when L.ca entered the room. Bidding Madam Keek lie down in the next room, the donned a thick wrapper and lay down beside her hnsbard. When he awoke and called for water, it was Lina's willing hands that gave It td him. "Tälä aure'y can not be fresh water, aa it b9 a very peculiar tasts." ''Jeci jest brought it np. It ii yoar im--siir. aticn, yet, ii you wisb, I will xlaj lor race.' "I would cot thir i cf troablinj; you so much, df&r wife. I am little aCratd, Liua, iit I wiil Dot be with yoa long." "Do not talk so, Clive, yoa make me nervca." "A'sYezlLdcss I do, aal I should Uks 33

much to have Mete with me the short time ttat 1 am here." You know that is impossible." "Why ihould it be, Lina? 8he ii my own child; I love her very much. 8urely yoi might try to get along with her a little while for my take." Clive, yoa can take your cho'ce betwesn us; either eho er I mast leve yoa." "It ia Lard to do without her, but perhapi abe- is better o3 where he ia." IV'Or men, he now sees the greit mistake he made in marrying Lina Mason. Ills I otue is a cesoiate one, made more &o by the abrenceof the child in whom his whole life happir-fBS was centered; wretrhed, b?cuas his wife is net the gentle, loving wonun hs thought her. Yet ha thinks she lo7es him, and for that reason, and oa account of thediegract that would fcllew her deprtare from her torre, h conclnded to die, if necassi-y, witout eeirg Meta. Next morning Mr. Woodruf wa much worse; he was not ail to leave Ins bed, but lay in an almoit uacor,drns cenditicn. Madam Keek watched over him with more care than nurses usually do, never leaving his bedside except to go to her metis, leaving Lina and Arthur witn him until the returned. About noon Dr. Thcrntm arrived, a noted physician of New York, for whom Arthnr had telegraphed that morning, lie examined Mr, Wocdrut's pule and seented greatly alarmed at his condition. Going into tha neat room and calling Madam Keek, he to d her that which he feared. Oh, air. do yoa think he will die?'' she exclaim d. T do t ot my be will, hut the case dees not I00V verv favorable now." What is the matter with him?" "That is where I am puzzled myself, unless he has been using opiates too freely." "That could not be, Doctor, he baa never " "Then yoa have known him sometime?'' interrupted Dr. Thornton. "Yes, or rather his daughter; and she talked a great deal of her Jattier." "Where is she, that sha is not with him now?" "She and her step-mother could not egrre, consequently ehe is compelled to remain away from home. Bat coins. Doctor, do all ;n your iper to save him, and I will aid von.'' 'Yti arg a brive nurse. I wish wo had mm like you in this world." They it tnrred to the 6'ckbamber, where they feu 1 Lina trying ta revive her husband will some wine; but as thay entered she left th ) ro"m, taking the glass ontainit with her. Why did sue d thi-? Waisha afraid that eonie one rnizht tA3ta it? Ev?n if they did what difference cosll that make? After leaving sime medicine Dr. Thornton went away, promising to return early the next morning. That night Arthur aud Madam Keek sat up with the sick man, who seemed to Le sinking rapidly. Lina, resting in the next room, listened t3 every word that was uttered, jtuloua of the little woman in black. Those whesa thoughts and heirti are black are alwavs undei the hnure3?ion thai every one else are like themee! ts. 8he wouM not have thought that ot Madam Keek coold she have read her aching heart atd seen the unshed tean in her eyes, hid den from the licht by tboss hideous glisses Kven though Madam Keek taid sli9 wa (trong Le was not, as sh was very nerval end strong, healthy people scarcely kuo.v what nerves are. Arthur Braden's eyes often rested upon Ler with a stfady, searching gize. Aud he ir s:ted upon her lying down to rest, but ihe would not, saying &ho only lived to d her duty, anil that now wa? to nurse aad caie fcr Mr. Woodruf. Sae did never la.iving him for ono moruent, bathing hi feverish tenses and haada eud mcistening his parched lips, Arthur noticed how gently she move abcut, not making the least noiss?, and ho n sbA turned and smoothed the hot pillows. All throcgh the long niht Mr. Woodruf wi" i rconscion?, aud morhiog foaad him nj tetter. "Mgdam Keek, I muit insist upon yoa Hing down for on hour at Irast. At the end of that time I will call yen," sa'd Arthur. "If I am lired I am not conscious of it." "But you must remember you ara working against the laws of nature. We can not spare yon now. but we will be compelled to if you jt-rsist in not taking some rest." "When I know that ba is better I will do as you ssk, but not before. God will giv3 me strength to bear up." It was Christmas morning. The snow w deep on the ground, and the wind blew i t in great drifts in every direction. Ezer thing was quiet st Woodruf Hall, for the master lay at death's door. At Arthur's request, Lina had consented to let him wnta tj Meta. "I will tell her all about his condition, end if the has the least particle of love cr re pect fcr him she wdl come home imme i lately, ' Arthur said, as he and Lina wer Mut? alone at the bre akftiit table. "You may write, bnt I dcubl if she will tor r, or en at swe r your letter." Arthur wrote to Meta. but the letter wai not destined to reach the one to whom it was written, for it never left Woodruf Hall. It was destroyed; by whom it ia nnnece3;ary to say, as my readers ein easily gues.?. Day after day passed by, and Mr. Woodruf lingered .between life and death; but his döUühter did not coma to him. and Arthur believed that Lina wfvs riht in saying she wm htartlcsa. Dr. Thcrntoa oil net leave the beda'de of the &icfc ruan, but watched tyery r-ew symptom, y?t wrs as much puzs'ed Hi he had been the tir?t day that he sw him. At lft-t he can.; to the conclusion tbat he Ked Letter consult a brother phyairiar. Accordingly, without saying aayth:rg to L na, be dispatched for one. and the mxt morcing'Dr. Ben:', arrived, and after exan.inir g the ra-e. tdjouined to the next room with Dr. Thornton. "It is a Vf ry strange cae, one that woqM tSule Uhuman knowledge; unless ths juau had ben roi.ned," said I)r. Bja. "I blieve thtt is exacily thacaje.&nd anlep eornethiue i? dor.p for him to counteract the eüects of it Le wiil not last but fjr a few hours." "Do he and his wife liva happily together?" That I do not know, as he has beea uacca scions most of the time sinro I came. I dare tay Madam Keek could enlighten you on this subject" "Call her, by all means. Madam Keek, do you know whether Mr. Woodruf and his wjfe live happy together or not?" Doctor Boaz asked, aa the lady in black entered the re cm. 'As far as I know, yes. May 1 aik why you want to know this?" I suppose I may aa wtll tf 11 yu; in fact, I den't know bat that it is necessary. Iti? our opinion that Mr. Woodruf has besa p iscced." "Oh, sir! will he die?" ehe exclilmed. "I bepe not. I was going to say that the tolson must have been administered by an fxr'rierred hand, 3 it has beea given in mi i-i I do.efS so C3 to avoid the saapicio-i conn e'ed witn a doce large enough to cause immediate dtath." "You nitao. Doctor, that small des were p'vm hin 10 ato caue a 'ng. linjeriag i!ines before death?" eaid Madam Reek. "Exactly so. But who could have ctimitted tuch a crime? Wha ia the guilty part?4' "Conld she baye done It?" she muttered to hertii.'. Gentlemen, If you save him fxoa tas d?atli wfn:h ssems

to h wa't nz fcr h!m. I will find the psrptrators of this foul crime and torn them over t j -stne." "MaJaoi Keek, yoa sneak as though yon ktew wbo did it," Dr. Thornton sal J. "I do know I mean I think I have a clue to the would be-mutderer. Gentlemen, have as little to ray to me as polbls. bat giv fjecial orders to me before Mrs. Woodruf to attend to all the medic. ne." "Iw.Hduas you sy, Madsm. Let uj now return to him." xid Dr. Buz. "Before you eo, tell ma that you caa and will eave him." "J ran only ay that we will do all In oar power to savw h.m Ycu te a to tase m")re than the usual amount cf intereat in your charge." 1 do not deny tha Djcter. and tome day I rrav tell yoa the reason why." Ail three rttarned to the tick chamber, were Artlmr asd Lina were conver-jin in a low tone. Msdara Kek nticd t!rs, so dici botn physicians, and crave each otaer a knswing look. Why did they do tba ? Was It not right that ii:ey ehould talk ia h !cw tone in a a ck room, when the patient was asleep? Had not our ohysicians cjtuf to the conclusion that Mr. Woodruf hJ bt-cn poisoned, they would not have noticed this; but they were now going to search ia turret for the one who had administered it. Conseauently, everything and every person must be watched. Both doctors remained oyer night, and only one Dr. Baz returned to New York the next cay. COMIMTD TO-MORROW.

And it sterns as awkward to me to sea a Westorcor siuat down cn his heel and milk with one nnd in a en p as it was in the caso of the natives cf India, who always carry burdens ou their hr ads; who, when a railioai contractor farnibbed them wheelbarrows, to find tieui CErrjirrj: dirt in tbern on tbeir heal3. For a man who has the practice and a oo "grip," to milk ten cow3 per hour is bat a reaorab!e task. TLis seeai3 to be some obstacle irr the w ay of dairying in the Sonthern Ftates the negroe3 and other natives can't be utilized as milker, aud the jea'ousy of the cotton pickers ia really excited at his Yankee innovation. Keally, tbe greatest nuisance connected with miikixs Li bting peitervcl in ßy-tUas,

since the mi'ir r can not et a gool pxinp for the cow nor improve his own temr. I have, daring my long and eventful career, had gnat suctefs in my determination to fkd srme "rtmidy for" every diuiculty," i:nt?l the question ot Üi-s and cows' tails csme up for a solution. Here my insanity atd fceneralship are, in part, failures. To feold the tail of te cow I ara milking between the psil and my knee 13 an eaiy matter, except in one case, where the dogs left cnetful jr.st the rieht length to batter rny sensitive no:e and switch tbe tearj out of my H'eferselefs ejes. Here my "remedies" are all at fault. Äho, when milking in ths Stahle, the cow behind me seems to have a determination to demonstrate that her tail is the t 1 aiest thing to a perpetual motion, and the fact that ehe works my nervous sensibilities up to the highest pitch of torture oaiy ftexus to add to hfr enjoyment. If any .nppnchtive rearer can send in a successful antidote for th.es1 exasperating a: 'icrions hi m all have a monument of lasting gratitude erfcttd to his memory.

?Iafcing a Straw iftitk, JAocrk&u Agriculture:, J Barley, oats and pea straw is so frequently so much brocen up by the rrachiue tuat it pucks closely and cecupie far les? sp.tca than rye and wheat straw. Of wheat and rye etraw it will require about 1,000 cubic fc-ct cf stack rcom to hold a ton, and a yield of twentyfive bushels per acre may give you a ton of straw. Occasionally a heavy crop of wheat will give ICO pounds of straw to each bushel cl wheat. Wttn wheat, rye, fcarley and oat straw are stacked together ia taythin i ike equal proportions we shall not be fir wrong in estimating, on the average, Kalt a ton of straw to each acre. Furthermore, in su:a a taie KG cubic fe. t cf space will be suhljient 1 er ton. In otter wortfs, a stck eieren and a hoffest in diameter wilt hold about an p.cre to each four feet in hei;ht. Cv.r thirteen fett in ditu-eter wül hold a-; a? re to er.ch three feet in height; one sixtee 1 ft in i'.ian eter will hoid an acre to ea;n two feet in. hcph'; o: e twenty fet in diameter wiil held about an acrf t-o eau'o one ar-.d a 'L?lf feet in heigh r. an 1 one t enty thrive feet in dian:fct?r . will hold sn ncre (a kslt a ton of strav to esch foot in heuht. A stack thirty-three feet in diameter v. ill hold cr.o ton of straw to each foot in height: one foriy feet will hold one nnd a half tns to ca-:h foot ia he;pht. Whnn you have decided ho jv largs a stack to plü.e a fork in the cen;er. Tie a string to it. and if ihe otack is to h? forty ft in diameter, tie a knot in the strirg twenty ft et from the fork, aud ho'd it in jtur left hand. Spread cut th straw on the lottcra of the slack a little farther t ian it ought to b?, ar.d then piss around the stack ard rush in the straw with tha feet, ntitil the cirrurcfcreuce is twenty feet Iron the center. It is little work, and is far better tbtn trustir to the eye. In tiilK'iru' the stack tne main p:ir.t is to Wep the mi'Td'.c full and welt troidea down. The chat! and the tir.'.w that is broken up into Email lengths is more compact thin the long straw, and bhcaM ba kept in the mid die of the stark, i'.ece the long straw ot. the r-utide of the stak. and a'ro bind ' with lorg straw.
