. HER OATEI. tg Theﬁ 11th of October, 1810, gvas;. a wild night, a night of cloud-wrack and pale,intermittent moonlight. Theh_’ westerly wind seemed like a demon, let Joose over sea and land. Incities houses were unroffed and chimney tops fell with the sound of thunder. On seas, full of hurry and confusion; ships staggered blindly, with far more chance of going down than of making port. Through forests the wind roared and raved in-its fierce on-rushings One /could hear great tree boughs snapped short from the trees and hurled about in great fury. Cd ' At seven o’clock in the evening a post-carriage, with smoking posthorses and shouting post-boys, drew up berore the principal inn at Deal. The carriage was occupied by two: persons, a man and a woman, who, having heard that they could obtain a good night's accommodation, dismounted. ! L ' Seen by the bright light of the inn parlor, the two travelers showed a Lok S mwi L z more than twenty-—presented a strking type of village beauty. She was tall and straight, with a firm, shapely figure. . She had brown hair, thick 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. : 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. IHe 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 ?” o “I suppose I could have remained 80 had I wished; or I 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 ohe Sunday evening with Joe, when I had promised to walk with Tom.” 1

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

“Yes, or why should I have married you ?” : ; : | He drew her head down upon his shoulder, smoothing lovingly her soft brown hair. They had the room to 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, changing 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 hiisband’s shoulder. - a 0

“Oh, my God; it cannot be!” she exclaimell. “We are watched, Arthur. Don’t you see?” . | But the face had vanished, and so Oldworth replied quietly: | > | “My darling, I see nothing. . 1t 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, whi¢h 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. e -“T have come to offer my congratulations,” ke said, addressing himself to. i 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 is lucky my meeting you here. I was on my way to give you important news, which 1 have brought from over the sea with me. It’s nota night when a man travels further than heneeds. Butl can’t say that youseem glad to see an old acquaintance.” Gl 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 ex- - change the warmest of wishes with | you.” o 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, ig it?, Why, he looks as if a breath of wind would blow him away. But you must hear my news alone. Get rid of him, will you—or must I? “One word,” exclaimed Oldworth, the color rising in his face, though he gtrove 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.”

“T.ook 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, and when you say 1 am you know that you are telling alie. You call yourself a fine gentleman; 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 arg dusty. Keep a civil tongue in your head, and 1 have no wish to interfere with you.” His large, strong hands were clenched, but they hung down heavily. *“The gooner you go, you know,” he went on, “the better it will be for all three of us,” : = : “Yes, do go, dear,” exclaimed Mary, with an assumption of gayety in her voice. “Whatever you do, don’t quarrel. Mark is rough and violenf, I know; but he may have news which I ought to hear. Of course I shall teH ro%ia?ifyigﬁinz-" 8 tbéﬁ; :fm f |“1 will leave you, th on, for ten D~ utes,” said Oldworth, addressing f?i%* . gelf to Mark. “Not, gmjnudmmnﬂf on account of your threats, but: be- |

At the end of ten minutes 1 Bl “"'f;&;fw SR : - & Dldworth glanced at his wateh, and AB6ehe room. The door closed after Aim, and the two were together. Mark oldedrhis arms, and fixed his eyes on SH6 girl’s face. Under that keen and Pitiless sCrutiny she writhed and win--2l as in. gowe great physical pain.

You're the right sort of girl to have trusted and believedin —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 I go down and don’t come back any more, how %ill 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 anfl kiss her any more, why, it would ju% break her heart or send her mad.” And all the time you were making love to this fine gentleman—this creatare that looks more like a sick girl than a man! Why, ifl were to s%rike 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. , , “You hadn’t that excuse, then! Do you love him ?” ¢ ! «I: fancied I did.” . : “Have you any excuse?’’ - “No, only mother and father were failing, and he said he would do everything for them, and make me a lady, and take mo to places I wanted to see gso 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. - e , “Yes.” - :

“Do you despise yourself ?” “Yies.” : “Do you hate yourself as you deserve to be hated ? ‘ “Yas, God knows I do.” ; -“Well,” he replied, “the strange thifig 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. lle 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 afber their cruel separation. At length, with a gudden revulsion of feeling, he thrust her from him almost roughly, saying in a voice that jarred with suppressed passion, “Have you: forgoiten your oath—the oath you swore to me that last night, under the moonlight, when we stood together. in your father’s garden ?” et

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 exclaimed, holding her hands in his, as in a vise. i

“Spare me this,” she cried. . “What have you done that I should gpare you?” he retorted almost brutally. “Come, I have a fancy to hear that oath, and hear it I will. I can prompt you with it.” And then, as one speaking in a trance, she spoke: “If ever during your absence I let any man touch my lips, or willingly listen to any words of loye, or become, in the least word, thought, or deed unfaithful, may Ibe slain, soul and body, so help me God!” = _ “That’s the oath you made and broke, then!” he exclaimaed, still holding her hands, stilllooking at her face with his keen, pitiless eyes. “Qh, Mark!” she cried, "I love you, and only you.: It is not too late yet. To-morrow: let us fly together.” . “No, we_can’t get out of it like that,” he rejoined. - “I don’t know that I've much congeience; or it may be that I have a good deal in my own way.—: Where two folks love each other they make their own laws, is what I think. what’s right to them is right, and what’s wrong is wrong; but this man, your husband, I'd toss him over, as in rough weather we’ve tossed overboard far more precious cargo to save the ship.

The spirite of the ocean and the storm seemed to be holding some wild revels 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 men and the woman. When they were fairly on the beach Mark turned to Oldworth,and saidin a voice that was quite audible through the sound of wind and waves: . - “TL.ook here, now; I'll be frank and above-board with you. I loved this girl a long time ago; we were playmates together: and it’s rough on me that she should love 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. Thisl swear.” ‘ i Oldworth turned to his wife. “PDo you wish it ?” he assl;ed. 3 She murmured faintly, “Yes, it will be better, I suppose.” : So he held her with his arms for a minute while he Kkissed her lips lovingly; then he let her go and walked agide, 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, b minutes; he waited 10; then he turned and went nearer the sea, but his eyes could not discover that for which they were looking. ; “Mary!” he called at the top of his yoice. “Mary, my darling, where are you ?” ; 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 cof hlack cloud. Oldworth searched the beach in all directions; then he went 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. - i /

“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 is high up over the rocks.” “Why you must be drunk, Bill, fo talk like that;” interrupted the second sailor. : i -“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 b'e ?!) b :

“How in Heaven’snameshould that help you ?” returned Oldworth desperately. “That man’s name was Mark Shaw, and he was a sailor.” o “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 something with them. ‘ “It's a woman’s hat, sir,” said the second sailor, the one who had reprov= od his companion for what he deemed his inconsjderate speech. “But don’t you take on, sir; more hats than one get blown;away this weather.” “Thank you. I know the hat,” returned Oldworth, with awful quiet in his voice. Then he turned away from them. ‘ : “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.” o ‘“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? Down at the very bottom of the sea? 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, perhaps, but some day.” i ‘He pressed his hand to his:forehead as if trying to collect his thoughts; then a cry, which those who heard ~will never forget, broke 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 Oldworth 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 bodies of a manand ‘woman, clasped in one another’s arms, were washed ashore.

- “Just on the Eve of Prosperity.” - (Plymouth -Heraldy =~ Who is just on the eve of prosperity ? The man who holds ‘a mortgage on some poor man’s property. Why?

More Wheat to the Acre. (American Agriculturiet.)

That the ten, fifteen, and even thirty bushel whéat crops are not the largest that any good wheat-goil is ¢apable 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 forlargely increasing them. It is really quite 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 gixty bushels may reasonably be expected under proper culture. Such erops are rather the rule than the exception on good English wheat farms, but are quite rare in this country. Lo The cost-of fitting fhe 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 crop; and the cost of harvesting is but little: more in the latter case. So that the difference between a 10 and a3O bushel crop is nearly all profit. But how shall this extra 20 bushels profit per acre be gained ? - By the use of sufficient manure to make the increase. The fact that extra manuring makes an addition to the crop which .ig nearly all profit, is ‘a fact seldom realized by farmers, but such is the case, as most will admit after considering the above statements. . The spreading of six cords of stable manure on two acres of land may notf produce a erop which will more than pay the 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. more than half the cost. For the generality of farmers it would be a safe rule to use what stable manure they have on half the area it is now applied to, - - DR e

The Stepping Stone to Wealih.

The acquisition of vital energy is the s_tépping' stone to health. When the system lacks vitality the yarlous organs flag in their duty, become chronically irregular, and disease is eventunally institnted. To prevent this unhappy state of things, the debilitated system should be built up py the use of that inimitable tonic, Hostetter’s ‘Stomach Bitters which invigorates the digestive organs, and insures the thorough conversion of food into blood of a nourishing qualily, from whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies of vigor, and the whole system experionces the beneficial effect. Appetite re‘turns, the system is refreshed by healthful slum‘ber, the nerves grow strong and calm, the des‘pondency begotten of chronic indigestion and an ‘uncertain state of health disappears, and that sallow appearance of the skin peculiar to habitualinvalids, and persons deficient in yital energy, is replaced by a more becoming tinge, 20 4w.
