If VeacETine will relieve pain, cleanse, parify, and core sach diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health, after trying ‘different physicians, mahy remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this medicine. performing such Frent cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating finid, It can truiy be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great sonrce of disease originates in the blood: and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovale, has any just claim upon public attention. ! T P N s .

. HER OATEH. The lith of Oectober, 1810, was & wild night, a night of cloud-wrack and pale,intermittent moonlight. The high westerly wind seemed like a dem [ let loose over sea and land. In cities houses were unroffed and chimneys tops fell with the sound of thundery On seas, full of hurry and eonfusion; ships staggered blindly, with far more chance of going down than of making port. Through forests the wind roags ed and raved in its fierce on-rushings One’ could hear great tres boughs snapped short from the trees and hu ed;about in great fury. L At seven c¢’clock in the evening & post-carriage, with smoking posts horses and shouting post-boys, drew: up before the principal inn at Deall The carriage was occupied by twe persons, a man and-a woman, who, having heard that they could obtaim a good: night’'s accommodation, dis~ mounted. At

Seen by the bright light of the inn parlor, the two travelers showed a strange contrast. The woman; or gitl rather—for she could not have been more than twenty—presented a striking type of village beauty. She was tall and straight, with a firm, shapely figure. She had brown hair, thiek and curling. There was a wistful look in the dark, deep eyes, whose abundant lashes fell on rounded, warmly-tinted cheeks. The lips, ripe and red, might have excused any man for longing to kiss them. e ‘

Her companion, who was at least 10 years older, was evidently in a very different position in life. He must have had good blood in his veins; at least you would have guessed it from ‘the long slender fingers terminating in the exquisite filbert-shaped'nails. He was tall and slightly-fashioned. The face would have been called a handsome one, but it was too pale and too delicate in outline to suggest the idea of complete manly beauty. : | - “Well, Mary, my darling,” he said, holding the girl in his arms, “how do you think you shall like being Mrs. Oldworth, and a painter’s wife?— Would you rather have stayed only a farmer’s daughter ?” : e “I suppose I could have remained 80 had I wished; orl could have been a farmer’s wife. There were plenty of lads who wanted me. There was Bob Turner, son of one of the richest farmers in Kent, and Tom Miller, who fought Joe Martin because I walked home from church one Sunday evening with Joe, when I had promised to walk with . Tom.”

“And you prefer me to Bob,Joe and Tom ?”’ he asked. ; .

* “Yes, or why should I have married yvou ?” He drew her head down upon his shoulder, smoothing lovingly her soft brown -hair. They had the room fo themselves; and so wrapped up were they in each other that they failed to notice a face from outside, which, pressed close against the blindless window, was watching them with bright, strained, sinister eyes. But, when the girl, chan;ing her position, did catch sight of the face, the blood suddenly forsook her .cheeks and lips, and uttering a short, sharp cry, she hid her face again on her husband’s shoulder. i

“Oh, my God, it cannot be!”»she-ex-claimed.~, “We are watched, Arthur, Don’tiydasee?” .. . L

But the face had vanished, and 86 Oldworth replied quietly: “My darling; I see nothing. It was only a nervous fancy;” adding, as she was shivering in his arms: “Thelong, windy drive has been too much for you; you have taken a chill.” : “Yes, Arthur, I think I have. Let us go.” : Oldworth was about to ring the bell, when the door opened and closed, and a man came up where they were standing -a man about the middle height, but powerfully built. His face, beaten by the wind and tanned by sun, was one which, having seen, you would not easily forget. The eyes, which looked straight out at you, from under the heavy, over-hanging brows, had in them a strange and indescribable fascination. . He was a man, you could tell, who meant to have his own way—a sort of mastiff, dangerous when aroused. . *T have come to offer my congratulations,” he said, addressing himself to Oldworth’s wife, and holding out his hand, which she did not appear to see. “I have heard all about it from the post-boys—all ‘about the grand wedding down at Farmer Grant’s this morning. It islucky my meeting you here. - I was on my ‘way to give you important news, which 1 have brought from over the séa with me. It’s nota night when a man travels further than heneeds. But I can’t say that you seem glad to see an old acquaintance.” el e

~ “My friend,” put in Oldworth, “this lady is my wife. She has had a long and fatiguing- drive, and is to-night quite unfit for conversation; but, tomorrow, before resuming our journey, she will, I am sure, be happy to exchange the warmest of wishes with you.” - : S Oldworth had spoken in a tone of sweet patronage, but the other man never looked in his direction, only saying to Mary, “That’s your choice, is it? Why, he looks as if a breath of wind would blow him away. But you must hear my news alohe. Get rid of him, will you—or must I? - “One word,” exclaimed Oldworth, the color rising in his faee, though he strove to control his voice. “You come from a journey, the night is stormy, and this is your excuse for having drank too freely; but, if you cannot behave yourself, it will be my duty to have you removed.” o . “Look here,” returned the other, fixing now for the first time his eyes upon Oldworth’s face. “My name’s Mark Shaw. lam first mate of the | ship Annie, brought to Dover harbor last night. lam no more drunk than ‘you are, #nd when you say I am you - know that,irou are t/ell.ing,a,n,e. You call yourself a fine gentieman; well, in the matter of words, you beat me; but you wouldn’t like to have a go-in with me. No! she wouldn’t like it. You wouldn’t care to go sprawling at her feet; the floors here are dusty. ‘Keep a civil tongue i,n% our head, and T have no wish to interfere with you.” “His large, strong hands were clenched, 0 iy huog doma e o | sooner you ge, you know,” he went on, “the better it will be for all three S ooy dont g e w}vﬁ";‘w“fniff:g:% *mg{ ¢ 4T @ g Ay gFo L SRR R i 451

cause a gentleman will-allow no brawl 'to take place before a lady, and I see ‘nothing less than this would satisfy you. At the end of ten minutes | ishall return.” Saha * Oldworth glanced at his wateh, and deft the room. The door closed after “him, and the two were together. Mark folded his arms, and fixed his eyes on the-girl’s face. Under that keen and _pitiless scrutiny she writhed and win‘ced as in some great physical pain. The wind shrieked round theinn; the awood fire on the hearth crackled and iBputtered, the red flames leaped up ittully; a cart lumbered near on the ‘dark road, and drew up ponderously "at the inn door. a . At length Mary Oldworth broke the Bilence: : - . ‘ © “Do you wish tokill me by just Jooking at me?” = .“F wish I could,” he rejoined. “I Bhould like to see you dying inch by inch under iy eyes, without touching you. ~ You are the right sort ofegirl, aren’t you? for a man to have loved, ‘before, indeed, he was a man—nothg but a-small-boy, who went miles after the least thing you wished for,. and who only left you when he was a man to get money enough to build a home for you. You’re the right sort of girl to have frusted and believed in —to have prayed for night and day. .Why, in some of our great storms I have.done what I never did till then. I have prayed, ‘God save me, for if T go down and don’t come back any more, how will that girl I know of far off in Kent bear it? If she knew that’ Mark would never come again to take her in his arms and kiss her any more, why, it would just break her heart or send her mad. And all the time you were making love to this fine gentle- | man—this creature that looks more: like a sick girl than a man! Why, if I were to strike the thing friendly like on the shoulder it would go down under my hand like a nine-pin, and howl for pain! Did you hear any rumor of the ship being lost?” ' “No,” said she. v : .“You hadn’t that excuse, then! Do you love him?” & «] fancied I did.”

. “Have you any excuse?’’ L - “No, only mother and father were failing, and he said he would do everything for them, and make me a lady, and take me to places I wanted to see so much. And every one said it wo'd be such a fine thing for me; and they made me proud; and that was how it happened.” : *Are you ashamed of yourself?” he questioned.

“Yes.” “Do you despise yourself ?” ; “Yes” S : “Do you hate yourself as you degerve to be hated? i “Yes, God knows I do.” \

“Well,” he replied, “the strange thing 18 that I, who ought to hate you, ought to scorn and spurn you, love you as madly as ever. Polly! Polly! I can’t bear it! For God’s sake come to me, my darling!” ; For a moment she stood irresolute; then, with a low .cry, she flung her arms round his neck, and dropped against his heart. Ie strained her close to him, kissing her with long, passionate kisses, calling her wit ha hundred endearing names, seeming to forget everything save the fact that she was in his arms’ again after their cruel separation. At length, with a sudden revulsion of-feeling, he thrust her from him almost roughly, saying in a voice that jarred with suppressed passion, “Have you forgotten your oath—the oath you swors to mie that last night, under the moonlight, when (vive stood together in your father’s garen?” ; ’

She cowered against the wall,shrinking from his eyes, as a child from. the hand which has stricken it. “I forget nothing,” she moaned. “Say that oath over then,” he exglaiqu, holding her hands in his, as in a vise.

“Spare me this,” she cried. “What have you done that I should spare you?” he retorted almost brutally. “Come, I have a fancy to hear that oath, and hear it I will.

The white, panic stricken moon seemed to be flyig through the sky, followed by great masses of clouds. As these three came to the shore you could hardly tell which was the louder, the wind’s voice or the sea’s. The spirits of the -ocean and the storm’ seemed to be holding some wild revel. The huge, black, foam-crested waves came with the sound of thunder against theland, and the hissing spray, blown up! like smoke, dashed in the faces of the two mf,u and the woman. When they were fairly on the beach Mark turned to Oldworth, and'said in a voice that was quite audible through the sound of wind and waves:

“Look here, now; I'll be frank and above-board with yofu. - I loved this. girl a long time a.g’l;l we were playmates together; and it’s rough on me that she shouldlove you better. Come, now, don’t be greedy; let us have five minutes to ourselves to say good-bye in, and then, Oldworth, I will never again cross your path or hers. ThisT swear.” £ . : - :

~ Oldworth turned to his wife. “Do you wish it ?” he asked, ~She murmured faintly, “Yes, it will be better, I suppose.” So he held her with his arms for a minute while he kissed her lips lovingly; then he let her go and walked aside, turning his back to the sea. The moon was hurrying through the heavens, and all around Oldworth the night shook and clamored. Af times he seemed to hear footsteps coming and going near him, and at times-he seemed to hear a sound of singing through the storm, but these were only sick fancies. He waiced 5 minutes; he waited 10; then he turned and went nearer the sea, but his eyes could nofdiscover that for which they were looking. : - “Mary!” ‘he called at the top of his yoice. *Mary, my darling, where are you ?”’ : G ]

- But there came no answer to his call. ‘Wind and sea laughed him to derision, and overhead the moon fled faster than ever between the great spaces cf hlack cloud.” Oldworth searched the beach in all direetions; then he wenf to its extremity, where two sailors: were lounging lazily together. : e : “Have you seen a man and a woman pass up this way ?” Oldworth inquired. y :

“We saw you and another man go down with a girl some minutes back,” replied one of the sailors. “They certainly have not come up this way. Now I think of it, they can’t have got round any other way, because the tide ig high up over the rocks.”

“Why you must be drupk, Bill, to talk like that,” interrupted the second gatlor, - : |

“Don’t you know the gentleman was married to her to-day ?” Then he turned to Oldworth: “Never mind him, sir, bound we’ll find them fast enough. What might the man’s name be ?” . . g * “How in Heaven’s nameshould that help you?” returned Oldworth desperately. “That man’s name was Mark Shaw, and he was a sailor.”. : . “Mark! Mark! Why, that’s our mate!” cried both men together. “Well, we’'ll do the best we can.” And they went down to the sea, and while Oldworth stood, feeling that the horror which he suspected could not really be,-and wandering what he should do next, the men returned bearing somethingswith them. ' : “It’s a woman’s hat, sir,” said the second sailor, the one who had reproved his companion for what he deemed his inconsiderate speech. “But don’t you take on, sir; more hats than one get blown away this weather.” i “Thank you. I know the hat,” returned Oldworth, with awful quiet in his voice. Then he turned away from them. A G G e e

“Take my arm, won’t you, sir ?” said the sailor who had last spoken, obserying that Oldworth seemed hardly able to control his steps. This sailor was known on the Annie as “Jim the pig-eon-hearted.”

“Thank you,” rejoined Oldworth, taking the man’s hand. *“I know you ‘mean well, and I shall not forget you. You're a sailor. Is there any boat, do you think, that could follow and find them ? [Can they be all the way down yet? D‘b‘wn at the very bottom of the gea? Why, I thought just now I heard her laugh. Don’t you think she might have run past us? I'shall find her again some day. Not to-night,per-haps, but some day.” He pressed his hand to his forehead as if trying to collect his thoughts; then a ecry, which those who! heard will never forget, breke from his lips and rang through the storm. High up it went, far away over the wind. The dead must have heard it. Then he fell senseless to the ground. The sailors, good-hearted men both, bore Old‘worth back on their shoulders to the inn. Medical ald was procured, but all that night he raved deliriously. Very early the next morning, in the first low light, the badies of a man and woman, clagped in one another’s arms, were washed ashore. The sailors identified the man’s body as that of their first mate, Mark Shaw, of the schooner Annie. William Grant, a farmer in Kent, swore to the woman'’s. body ds being that of his dadghter, who had been married only the day before. The two had decent burial, side by side, - Oldworth lived, but reason never returned to him. “Ie is a, ‘troublesome patient, and a dangerous one,” say his keepers, “whenever the ’wind-‘f"iﬂ%igly and westerly.” . .

More Wheat to the Acre. ~ (American Agriculturist.y -

That thaeten, fifteen, and even thirty bushel wheat crops are not thelargest that any good wheat-soil is capable of producing, is a fact patent to every intelligent farmer; yet thousands go on raising these comparatively unprofitable crops, even though the means are at hand for largely increasing them. It is really quifte within the possibilities of any farm suitable for raising wheat at all to grow an average crop of over thirty bushels per acre; and forty, fifty, and even sixty bushels may reasonably be expected under proper culture. Such crops are rather the rule than the exception on good English wheat farmsg, but are quite rare in this :country. The cost of fitting the soil, of seed, sowing, interest on the land, and the number and value of the stock and implements required are the same for a small as for a large crio;;; .and the costi-of harvesting is but little more in the latter case. So that the difference between a 10 and a 30 bushel crop isnearly all profit. But how shall this extra 20 bushels profit per acre be gained? DBy the use of suflicient manure to make the increase. The fact that-extra manuring makes an addition to the crop which is nearly all profit, is a fact seldom realized by farmers, but such is the case, ag most will admit after considering the above: statements. . The spreading of six cords of stable manure on* two acres of land may not produce a crop which will more than paythe expenses of its production; put-the same manure on one acre, and the chances are that just as much wheat will be harvested, and at little mq;'ev than half thie-cost. For the :§ener,aﬂ,ty of farmers it would be a safe rulé'to use what stable manure they have on half the area it is now
