Tall and exquisitely unaided, she i iou od ueither to the claas of blonde nor brunette, yet united in her murmadk the chief charms of both.

Mrs. Whart n followed her lady up the broa st.Ireafe, on which a strip of TeWet c:rpet tl adened the sonnd ol foot-stepa into a large and bautitully-decorated apartm r.t, where the skill of the modern npholstiier lud turned the ancient walls into a casket cl botiuty and freshness.

Tii struck nine, ten and eltv as, - as sat there, sometimes smoking and s uit-'irnts whistling softly to himself. W'.en, tiiJHlly he rose, and moved steadily through the'ipiiet trees, it was nearly midnight ! Across the dwy grass - past the old ivymantled tree, an owl hooted dismally as he pussed dov.n a narrow path. Sir Roy Fairfax wlk- 1. nntil he found himself of a sudden. ( ! t' the back entrance of a Kinail lawtsa 1 cottage, on the yery verge of the pli -.Mire-grounds. All was qniir dark and silent, or seemed so from without , imt when Sir Roy tapped softly at th door, it opened, revolving suddenly and noiselessly its Linge3, and revealed a bricrhtly-liLtt 1 roai. with three men, sittinff or standing carelcslv around- one .f them the very Colonel Monntjoy with j whom Sir R y 1.-. 1 avowed his purpose of j dining VM evening.

"Well, irhaps yon may be right about that," said the old gentleman, impatiently, "but when a man is waiting, every minute seem tike an hour." Sir Roy glanced roncd the room, nodded o bis other commie, a tall, rather slender man, and spoke a word or two to the gamekeeper, a grizly-heaJed Scotchman of fifty or thereabouts". "Yon Mai Ike L'ams will lie well tonight. Morriot. f "Couldn't be better.

The three gentlemen followed, and for a tew minutes ISM silence was unbroken. Suddenly Morrison stopp.-d breathing, rather tihaa whispering int Sir Roy's ear, ashepoii.ttd in the dim, uncertain starlight, at a smail open space, quite surrounded with dwarled trees and underbrush. "There, Sir Roy. there's the trp ou the edge o' them htzcls, and it ain't empty neither. He can't be long cemi a' arter his game, you may take your oath f The old man's hand trembled with eagernesshis face turned upward in the starlight, was flush! with the excitement of the moment. "Hush ! Oa your life, don't speak a word, man,' murmured Sir Roy, motioning to the other two to a ivanee r farther, We have only to wait now." The seconds crrew into minut - minutes seemed to lengthen themselves out, as the fonr men stood there so mo aonless thst you could not have discovered their shadowed figures froui ti e trunks of the beeches and eheetnut trees. Their v-ry breathing was hushed one night have heard the muffled beatings of their hearts ! 4 'Now, gasped Mc rieon, the gamekeeper, "now he's ccniin. Sir Roy." A second or two it could sc&rcely have been more and a dark figure, slouching heavily ah ng in the obscurity, en ?rged from th undergrowth beyond, and crossing the open s. i ce, kndt don to examine the snare wnich had 1 1 .skillfully concealed with fallen 1 ranches. He dropped the prey into a coarse bag or pouch which hnng over his shoulder, ad was just rising to his feet once more, when he found himself face to lac i with the cold, sneering gaze of Sir Roy F. irfax! Involunt rily the man raised his rifle, the barrel glitered strangely in the mystic light, Sir R?y snatched it from him, and flung it intc the coppice beyond ; and in the strugK'K- the gun went off with the sharp, piercing sound that had so startled Ltrfy Fairfax in her white and gold boudoir! The poacher prang at Sir Roy's throat, with a sharp, low strangled cry, like that

of a wild animal: the momentary struggle was sharp and fierce ! Colonel Mountioy sprang forward to aid his friend, but Morison, the gamekeeper, held him back. "You don't know my master, sir," he whispered hoarsely. "Sir Roy Fairfax never accepts help from any man ! There - I knew it he's' got the follow down !" Morison was right tha poacher, strong fellow though he was, was powerless in Sir Roy's Herculean grasp ! While Morison yet spoke, h lay struggling on the grass, wn h the baronet's foot on bis cheat. "Now, then, Owen Owensonl" said Sir Riy. calmly, "what have you to ay for yourself?-' ' N" ithing," the man made answer, ul!ou!y, still, however, struggling.

Mary Owenson rrshed forward with a low, taewy ety, and M literally at Sir h y'- feet, threw her arms around his knees, while th. little babe, cast recklessly from her arms, crept over the carpet, catching at its gay rose and cooing a it went! "You oan't mean it," wailed poor Mary; "it i-n't him you're pnnishin' alone it's nie and the little one ! You wouldn't see n,? sta Sir Ro:. ! I'll not let go your feet, Sir Roy. : y n premise.

Apparently t'e force of her entreaties exhausted her, and she lay quiet quiet and motionless on the floor, as the servant gently lifted he and carried her away. Bnlworth himself came back after the little child, who cat OOOCBfl on the carpet as if the whoie scene had been a farce gotten up for its especial benefit. Toor little mite,'" said Bnlworth, as hi deposited his tiny bundle in the housekeeper room, "it do" seem hard!

Mary Owenson, drink a drop 'o wine as Mrs. Locksley'a holdin' to your hps it'll do yon good!" But Mary pushed the glass away v hand tha the housekeeper could feci waa as cold as Sine. "Hot iu this hou8e,"she said, in a attaagi b altered voice, "it would choke me. Give me the child, and let me go!" "Yon'd better rest a while, first," plero! d Mr. Lecksley, kindly, it's a kind o' a f;:::it you've been in.'' "No, ' said Mary Owenson, shuddering, "I can waif well cnot.'gb oDly let me get out of the shaüow of this house 1" And no entreaties on the part of the kindhearted servants could dissuade her fi m her purpose. She passed elowlv drmn through the shrubberies, carrying her infant iu her arms, with her chin drooping on her breast, and not a vestige of color in htr race. Sir Roy Fairfax watched her from his library window, with a curious smile ui t: hie perfectly sculptured lips. "One or twb such lessons as this will have a better effect upon these troublesome poachers," he thought, "than all the cni ty threat in tho world. It was time. T. needed it."

"What was the mat tar?" "It was only Owenson's wife; naturally she is a little annoyed at the idea of her lora and master being immured in the Tarriek jail for six months," answered Sir Roy, lightly. "Rut you are not in earnest ,' Roy,'' exclaimed Lady Fairfax, with h.r browii tvea ido opeD. Sir Roy'a brow slightly contracted. "Whv shonld I not be in runeotV The man baa bacurrid the penalty of the law; there is no reason that Le should be allowed to tecupe it." "But it is Owen Owenson!" ' Very well; I don't see what difference that makes." "Boy," pleaded Lady Fairfax, "you will interest yourseli in the man's behalf yon will never allow hsm to be imprisoned for so Ion;; a time." "Marian," said her busband, "you are a I ttie enthusiast, but you mustn't let old Els peth's smooth tongue convince vou that blaek is white and white ia black. tfobodv can infringe the law of the land without suffering f.r it. "But his wife, Rov, and the poor little child!" "Thev'U do well enough said Sir Rov, in differently. "General laws must bear hard on particular cases, of course! Why, Marian, mv darling, you aro crying! ' Lady Fairfax rose, with her fair check ' flushed, and her soft eyes glistening ;u. ! luminous with tears. "Roy," she cried, "lay aside for an instant the merciless executioner, the rigorous magistrate, and be a man, feeling for his fellowmen! For my sake, Roy, let this poor fellow go nnharmed. "My little wite is unreasonable now," said Sir Roy, in a voice whose velvet smoothness concealed his iron purpose, as a gleaning surface of water hides the cruel point of a rock b. noath. "You are no judge of tho exigencies of a "as like this. I would do much for your sake. Marian, but I cannot step aside from the rlain path of duty." "But it is not duty, Roy, it cannot be ! Duty ia not vindicative it is" not uufeerng '." "What can a little petted bird like you know about these mooted points! laughed Sir Roy, patting his wife's cheek. "Here is your ponycarriage now and you are not ready.

" I riu not spare him I" And when Sir Roy spoke in that tone, his wife knt w that he was past all melting or moving ! It was a few weeks after this that Mrs. Wharton came in to brash out her lady's abundant brown hair, and dress it for the late dinner at the Hall. "Have you heard what has happened, my lady?'' she asked, with the privileged familiarity of an old servant. "No," said Lady Fairfax, languidly, as she turned the pages ol her book. "Is it anything particular?" "Well, my lady," answered Wharton, delighted to be able to impart a piece of freshly gleaned news, "Margery, the scullery maid, has just come np from Owenson's cottage, and she says they're in a dreadful way there!" "What is the matter? "asked Lady Fairfax, mor.ng her head so suddenly that the halfCited braid was jerked out of Wharton's ds. "Oh, mv lady!" cried the maid, "I beg your pardon- I hope I didn't hurt you." "No, bo -it was nething; tell me what von were going to sajs" "Yes, my lady well, you see they've been havin' the typhoid fever in Varrick, and some way it got into the jail and Owen Owenson, the poacher, my lady, you knew he was one of the rirst as took it, and he's dead!" "Dead I ie he? Poor Mary!" ned Lady Fairfax with genuine commiseration.

"Yes. my lady, it was awful sudden like, and they say she's well-mich crazed. But old Elspeth, she don't say a word sue just sits and looks straight afore her, our Maty says it's fearsome to see her, and she, as you may sav. nigh npon a htm.1 i years old! ' Lady Fairfax starteo ;ir. "I must go and see them, Wharton." The maid elevated both her hands in the air. Oh, my lady, not to-i ir tit -and the frost in the air, and the park as dark as Egypt, Sir Roy would bo very much vexed, my lady." Lady Fairfax passed out of the dressingroom into th drawing-rooms, where the air i tilled with summer warmth and the perfume of newly-cut roues and holitrope, which filled tho vases on mantel and bracket, while the waxed lights shone softly along the walls. A low. clear fire burned iu th grate, and Lady Fairfax etoodwh instant, gazing into its red embers. "I wish ltoy would come," she murmured, "Griffiths," to the old butler, who at that moment made his appearance to light the corridor, "is ihe drawing-room clock ripht?" "My 1 .dy. it is eight o'clock will it olease your ladyship to hav: dinner served? I think iiy master mtiet have been unexpectedly detauit d. "I will wait for Sir Roy." . Li.lv Fairfax's tone aas so decisive, that Or.iliihs left the remonstrance he was prepared to hazard entirely unspoken, and retired with an obsequious "A you please, my lady !" Left' to herself, Lady" Fairfax took up a book and began to read, but her thoughts wandered away from the printed pages, and she found it iuiposeiblo to govern her attention. Half in hour afterward Wharton camoin with a httlo tray, containing few choice mnn-elt", 'hieb lie bad carefully cullfed oat with -pi Ctal I ye to hT mistress' tastes. ' i told you I would await Sir Roy's coming, Wharton,' said Lady Fairfax, somewhat sharply. . .-. i .v lady and to be sure he can't be loaw in coining now: but it isn't well for yon to bf so Ions without tiling. Try a bit of the broiled bird' wing, my lady, "and a drop of a np, and then you cau have your dinner with Sir Roy afterwards, just th. same." Lady Fairfax could n. t help smiling as sh took the wineglass from Sirs. Wharton's hand, and sipped a little of the crimson ÜUld. 'Y n al! treat me like a child, Wharton," she .- iid, "that must be coaxed and humored int, obedience." "No, my lay, certainly not," said Whartou deferentially, "but any ons will tell yon that a long fast ins't noways good for the stomach, and it Sir Roy should be detained away ail night " "He will not be," said his wife, positively. "No. try lady -to bo euro not, but thn there's no telling nothing about hours when it's hnrint that'o in Ike question, and Hir B v ',1 he all tho better pleased when be lu rf y. u'r eaten a morsel, my ladv." And Lady Fairfax, accr.stonie'd to be domiaeerf.l over in a mild way by Wharton, ate and drank, with a decile obedience to orders. The clock struck nine, as Wharton was replacing the dishee of painted china on the iray. preparatory to removing them aud. breaking sinhu nly and sharply on the silvery chime of the little bell, another sound made Lady Fairfax utart to her feet, with a white face", and clasp d hands the report of a gnu "Wharton, ' fhe cried, "what is that? what can have happened ? ' "Dear me. my lady," answered Whart n, philosophically,""Ii's nothing ou earth but tliem wearying poachers again. I don't know wha' Mori-" n is about, not to keep a sharper eye on Vtnl'' Lady Fairfax went to the window and hshsSn her eyes over the moonlit slopes of the lawn. "P's notiso lookin', ray lady," said Wharton, "they're down in the woods, and you t-au't -e. "a thin. SirRorwid be dreadfully put out when he kuows the old business s

She wan advancing to close the door, when a white hgure glided out of the dark obscurity ot a ehsstat of weeping fire, and stood shivering m the square of moonlight on tne St.-no payment, uirectly in front of the doorway. Why, it's Mary Owenson!" cried Mre. Wharton, recognizing the pale, drawn face of the new-made widow. "And whatever brings you h.?re at this tiruo of night, Mary ? Come in you're as cold as lee, and yon tremble like a leaf. And bless me I" cried lirp. Wharton. recoiling with a ahud 1 r, "your hand? and your dress are smeared with blood !

"It wan God's justice and I waa onlv the tool in His bauds I" "For mercy- sake, what are yon talking about?" shrilly demanded Mrs. Wharton. "Do come in. and don't stand like a lunv though, to be sure " added Mrs. Wharton, half to herself, "I hadn't ought to be cross with her, and she half frautic, as one may sav, with her trouble." Mary Owenson made no opposith n to the gentle force with which Mrs. Wharton drew her in - but as she entered the lighted ht.ll, she looked down at her crimsoned fingers and bedabbled di -s with a shndder. "Blood!" she i l ittered vacantly, "blood! ItV ur it ihoald 1 1 bl od for blood!

Mn drew forward a chair for Mary OwenAn, and had tnrned to go for some wanning a:il stimulating dranght to the servant's hali, when the sonnd of hurried footsteps and many voices in the great vestibule beyond, attraeted her attention. Lady Fairfax had heard the nnacenstomed tumult and eoufuaion, alao, breaking in upon the qniet thread of her thought. She aat an instant ii-n:nr.rr. with ber heart beating somewhat faster than lU ordinary wont, anrt then roao to her feet, and was hurrying to the door, when it flew suddenly open, and Mrs. Wharton rushed in, wnh a faee as white as htr apron. Lady Fairfax stopped short, at tha sight of that death-pale face, "Wuarton," she cried, "what ha? happened ? Why do jrasj look so pale?" "Nothing, my lady nothing," gasped the maid, panting t. r breath, and striving to force the aemblance of au nnooncerned smile to her lips. "Onlv if you would please to go back" "What for?" Lady Fuirfax lookfd at Wharton with vague distrust, "hir Itoy is not at home, Wharton, and I must see what the matter is ! ' 8he was p-.ssing her maid, when Wharton stretched out both her bands with a cry of terror ! "Oh, my ladv my lady! don't go on there! For Heaven's sake", my 'v ly , stay wher. you are!'' she wailed. "Wharton," said Lady Fairfax, in a tone of calm dignity and coraravid, which the maid bad never before heard from her Hps. "Jo not dare to stop m ! I trill go. I reiä see for myself what all this mystery mean'. ' A little crow! was gathered in the hallthrough t' e wide-open portals of the great doorway tho keen winter wind r ashed in, masing the light flicker and flare strangely. Old Morison, tha h a 1 game-keeper,- waa the first person she recogniztd. "Go back, Lady Marian!" he cried. "It's no place for yon to come! Fooi!'' to Wharton, who followed her mistress, wlidly ringing ber hand.; "wby did you let her come here? Yon should have kept her by main forcel My bonnie lady," be added, in a voice tbat shook and trembled, "go back againl" He took both her hands to lead her to the threshho' ! she had just quitted, bnt Lady Fairfax broke from him, a white, ghastly tarror on her face, and ran towards the group, which silently parted ou either side, to udmit her slight, flnUering figure ! Parted, to dlsi lese a sight which well nigh froze the blood in her veins. Eor there, on a hastily constructed litter of boughs, woven together with willow twigs, in the centra of the hall floor, lay Sir Hoy Fairfax, quite dead, with great cwds of blood congealed round a wound on his breast, from which the clothing had been torn recklessly away, and a crimson cross drawn on bis brow, as if by a floger, dipped in the sanguineous stream!

Marian sprang forward, and throwing herself on her knees beside th.' corpse, drew its cold head npon her bosom, crying out wildly: "My husband ! my husband'! Oh, who has done this cruel thing?" "There!" said old Morison, in a voice choked by emotion, "take her away! Tho Lord be praised, she has fainted!"

We Lave been to considerable oxpeuse in putting farmers on their , '. i ! against th: frauds that were bemK perpetrates in the sale c i Seed Oats, but not until recently did we reulixe tho magnitude of thcao aaiudlc. H. W. Marshall, of Cincinnati. Ohio, has issued a circular much ot thee .uleuteot wh.ch haa been opiud from ours, representing that he ia ourautn.oru.ed agent for the West, for the sale of the Rauisdeil Nor way Oats seed. We ar informed by reliable parties in t ineinnau. that he lue Beut out over lla' a ililii'm of these circulars, and is recei'ixc thouaauUs of orders. He is a swindler, has net er bad auy ol our seed, uor any communication with ua I. P. Uoycr A Co., Pi.bbshers of a country paper somewhere in Penn., lasueda circular iu awmilai man ncr, claiming to hate our secd. but when wo exposed Iho fraud tucy changeil '.heir tactics, and are nuw advertising Ui.it they import seed lrom Norway, i Ms dodice is so ridiculuub, iu view 1 1 the tact thai our seed j never came from Korway. and that we are IiLUiik orders from that country, that luteliigeul Himers are not likely to be decoived by it. Samples scut ue, which same from them, bao ben: prouounced New bninswick Oats by hundretia of fanners who examined tnem. i ither parties ate soling wbat thej lUiui to 1-e our seed, at prices varying from $1. jo to i'i per bushel, .i ' BB 'ia'-f, of SSSSaBj and some use our name. Some of these parties are honest, bat were themselves deceived ia tne purchase of seed last year, tint ot twenty samples sent us of Norway Oats, now being advertised, only two were gcuaine. We eauaot go througu the hol list, bat tho above facto axe safficienL We have only to reguest that those who bug of such parties aud are disappointed in their crops, will not condemn our seed, aa Borne did last year. Facto and figures have alroajv neon published, show ing by as rebable testimony as can be found in the land, that the Itainsdell Norway oats will produce from twice to thres times as much to the acre, axe heavier.and of better quality, stand np better, and are more baxdy than any other knowa oats. 1 Ley have beon awarded forty five tirst premiums, at the late State aud County lairs, in oompetiuon with ail the varieties now grown, which is a larfter n run ber than waa ever awarded to any agricultural improvement in a single year. Among the leading journals that have recommended them, may lie mentioned the American Agriculturist, New ork 1'nbune, Moore's Rural New urker, Independent, N. Y. Observer, Methodist, Christian Advocate. Western Rural, Prairie 1 armer. Advance, Ti ledo Blade, aud others. We can oaiy present a few specimen ex tracts showing the character of the letters rocoived. FROM FARMERS. "1 be yield is enormous. I he additional value of the straw more than pays cost of seed."

"I have bought all the improved seed down to the Norway, aad it is the only one on which I have not been humbugged. Show me auy oats that ill beat it in yield or tiuaiity, and 1 will Bla0ly pay $lv' ior a bushel." W K. lluiBAR), L. I., N. Y. "My yield from IV acres was luO bushels. Common oats on same ground yielded ist bushels per acre. Norway's were heavier, and stood up while the others lodged badly. ' Y. C. s.w it-K, uhio. "I bought one buhel ol seed of N. P. Boyer A Co., which they advertised as Imported Norway Oats, before I saw your advertisement. 1 then sent tur one peck of yours, and gave each an equal chance. The peck of your seod produced as uiucu lacking It lis as the bushel ot theirs , and yours did not lodge, theirs did." 1. U 1 hjL, Pa, "Ihe Xorways yieie more than double what the Surprise do, and are eaceUent in quality, 'the .Surprise oats are all hull, and a very deceptive grain, and l would not pay half price for them to teed my horses." M. V. Vvibbos, Kentucky. "The Norway Oats I bought of you last year have been a porleot i ox) send to me, 1 have realized enough to Bay od a mortgage on my farm, which waa due, and I sd no means ef paying, and 1 have seed left for 25 acres, which 1 shall pu. in luis spring.

"The seed I had from you gives ftreat satisfaction. I also had some oats, represented to be Norway's, trom Boyer & Co., ot Pa, They are nothing more than a good quality of eomuiou black oats."

You have done a great thing tor the West in the introduction of ihese oats, .ud are deserving ol the giatelul thanks of every fai mer in the country. C. It. lIOWEa, Georgetown, Cot THE PROFITS. There Is a ver) general understanding among farmers aa to snpply and probable demand of this seed. No reaaouabio man, alio knows the tscts doubts for a moment but that they will come into general use, just as rspidly aa the seed can be had, displacing all others from our soil. If the entire product could be retained in this country, it would reauire two more crops to snpply the seed wanted. But it is rapidly becoming known in other countries. While we have not courted foreign orders, wishing to reserve that market for another year, the few samples sent t iere last ear have produced so well, that orders are da. I, reaching us from all parts of F.oropo. Fven Norway is looking to us for seed tbat bears her name, severa important orders having bean received from there. N arly iu teen per cent of the last crop will be exported, sad probably not less than S of the next will tind ready sales .-.broad With these facts before us. we I annot expect a veiy great redaction in price of seed next year. We have shown that at price of ordinary oata, they are a profitable crop At Cl per bushel, they will pay handsemely ; bnt at $3 or $4 it is sn easy matter for a farmer to pay off mortgages or build a now house from a few acres. Last season a 9-acre lot yielded $USS to a New York farmer, a larger sum than he had made in ten years f arising. A Wisconsin farmer did still better . and hundreds have made small fortunes. These facte ean be fully proven any day by undoubted testimony While these high prices last, it is a speculation, but it it taf and mure. We hope no farmer will boy this seed nnleas he fully believes he ie doing himself a greater favor than he is ua Many have thanked us for urging them to buy last year, and thousands will do bo next year. HOW TO CET SEED. Onr price is $7.50 per bushel; ! per half bnshel; 450 per peck. For t ne convenience of those wishing to experiment, wa will send i lbs by mail, post-paid, for 1. While our seed variesln weight from rto4rj tbsto the br.ahel, we will sell by the standard of 32 lbs to a bushel which is enough to seed 1 acre of good gn und.
