THE STO8E-C' UTTER'S STORY. He was whistling over his work,, careless^ from long custom, of the solemn significance of the letters he was catting in the white -marble. The June sun was nearly at the end of the day’s journey, sinking slowly to rest upon the bosom of the Drpad Atlantic, whose waves washed the shores of the little seaport to wo of Monkton. A stranger, handsomely dressed in gray, with large, lustrous brown eyes, came to the fence that was around the yard wheire the stone cuttei worked, and read the lettering almost completed, upon the tomb-stone: GOLDBJr, V, 186a. completed, for a mos face, and breath, and Is not ten years a long time to be cutting letters on a tombstone, friend?” “Eh, sir*” The stom,--cutter looked, shaded his eyes with his brown hand, as he turned his face to the setting sun. “This is 1876,” was the giave reply, “and Hiram Gotdby must hate been ten years under the waves.” “ Well, Eir, that’s the question —is he there?”' “Is he there? Your stone tells us he is, and has been there for ten years. “Yes, sir, so it does—so it does. And yet she has: ordered it. She came over a week or ;;o back with a worried look upon her sweet face that I have never seen anyth ing but patient in ten long years, and she said to me—‘you may cut a stone; Davy,’she says, ‘and put it up in the church-yard, and I don’t want to si re it. I’ll pay you whatever you choose to ask, Davy,’ she ssiys; ‘ but he’s not dead, and don’t; want a tombstone.’ ‘Lor, mum,’ says I, ‘he’d a turned up all these years if he was not dead.’ But she shook her pretty head, the prettiest I ever seen, sir, and said she: My heart never told me that he was dead, Davy, and Til never believe it till my heart tells me so.’ ” “His sweetheart?” questioned the stranger. “His wife, sir—his loving, faithful wife, that s had poverty, andloneliness, and misery, her full share, and might ha’ betterBd herself.” *■ “How was that?” “Mr. Miles, sir, the richest shipowner heieabouts; he waited patiently for seven long years, tiying to win her. Then he said that she was free even iif Hiram came back.” “Enoch Arvlen,” mutteied the stranger.

“ What did yon say, sir?” “Nothin?, nothin?. Wha1; answer did the widow make, Air. Miles?” “‘If Hiram’s dead,’ said she, ‘Tm his faithful widow while I live. If Hiram’s living, I’m Ms faithful wife.’ MftrW Tc« «m from Olio oiOj, on, out have heal'd the story of onr Pearl?” “ Whal story is that?” “Well, sir, it’s been toldmimytimes, more paiticularlv in the last year,, bat you’re welcome 'to what I blow of lit. There, that 6 is done, and Til leave the Script ure text till morning. If yon’ll come to the gateway and take a seat on some of the stones, 1’U tell yon, that is, if yon eare to hear it” “I do care,” was the grave reply; “I want; very mnoh to hear the story.” “ May lie you’re some kin to the Pearl of Monk ton—that’s what they call Mrs. Goldby hereabouts. It’s a matter of thirty-three years back, sir, that there was a wreck off Monk ton rocks, that yon can nee from here, sir, now tide’s low. Cruel rocks they are, and many a wreck they’ve seen, the more the pity. Yon see them, sir?” “I see them.” “Well, Mr, this one wreck, thirtythree years ago, there was nothing washed ashore bat a bit of a girl-baby three or four years old, with a skin like a lily-leaf, and great black eyes. Hiram Cioldby found her on the rocks. He was % boy of twelve years, strong and tall, and he carried the cMld in Ms arms to his mother. Yon nay see the cortege, sir, the second wMte oneon the side of the hill.” “I sec it.” “Well, Hiram took the baby there, and Mrs. Goldby wan Hie name as a mother to her—a good woman—God bless her sonl—the widow Goldby.” •• Is site dead, then?” “Ays, sir, six years qrone. The baby I was telling yon of, sir, talked a foreign lingo, and was dressed in rich clothes, that most have cost a power of money. But never would Hiram or the widow sell them, putting them up eatefullr in ease the obEd wan ever looked for. She wo# that pretty, sir,

—- and that dainty, that everybody called her Pearl, though aha was not like onr girls, taut afraid, always deadly afraid of the sea. I have seen her clench her mite of a hand and strike at it, for she had a bit of a temper in her, though nothing to harm. “When Hiram made his first voyage, for they were all sea-faring * men hereabout!!, and there was nothing for a lad to do but ship, the Pearl Vas just a little washed-out lily, a-fre®te until he came home again- And it wCdo whenever he went, for theyJ^K sweetheart!; from the first tin^Tte nestled her baby face on his brefst, when he picked her up from the wreck. She was sixteen when they were married, as near as we could guess; Hiram was a man of twenty-four. She prayed him stay at home* then, and he stayed a year, but he fretted for the sea, and he went again, thinking, I s'pose, that his wife would get used to it, as all wives herea,bouts must do. But she never did—never. It was just pitiable to see her go about, white as a corpse, when Hiram went away, never looking at the sea without the shudder like a death chill. All through the war it was just awful, for Hiram enlisted on board a man-o’-war, and Pearl was just a shadow when he came home the last time,” “Afterthe war?” “ Yes, sir; but he made no money of any account, and so he went again, after staying home a long spell. Well, he never came back. 'Twasu't no manner of use a telling Pearl he was lost; she'd just shake her pretty head and say: ‘He'll come back.’ Not a mite of mourning would she wear, even after his own mother gave him up and put on black; for, sir, it stands to reason he’s dead years ago.” “ It looks so.” “Of course it does; nobody else doubts it but her.. Old Mrs. Goldby’s last words were—‘ Pm ■ going to meet Hiram,' and they say the dying know. But even then they didn't make Pearl think so. She wore mourning for her who had been the only mother she knowed of, but no weeds. Weeds was for widows, she said, and she wasn’t a widow.” “But the stone?” “Well, sir, I’m coming to that. A year ago, sir, a fine gentleman from Framce came here hunting for a child lost on this coast. He’d heard of Pearl by happen-chances, if there is such, and came here. When he saw the clothes, he just fainted like a woman.” “ She was related, then?” The stranger’s voice was husky, but the sea air was growing chill. “Her father, sir.” “ He took her away?"

He tned to. He told her of a splendid home he had in New York, for he’d followed his wife and child, sir, to •» city they had never reached. He was rich and lonely. He begged his child to go, but she would not. * Hiram Will come here for me,’ she said, * and he will find me where he left me.’ ” “ On what has she lived?” ** Sawing, sir, mostly. The cottage was old Mrs. Goldby’s, and bless you, Pearl did not eat much more than a bird, and her dresses cost next to nothing. But there’s no denying she was very poor—very, and yet the grand house and big fortune never tempted her. So her father came en and on to see her, until April. And he died, sir, and left our Pearl all his fortune and the grand house in New York. But she’ll not go,'sir; she’ll die here, waiting for Hiram, who’ll never come.” The stranger lifted his face that had been half hidden in his hand and said: ‘There was a shipwreck in the Pacific Ocean, Davy, years and years ago, and one man only was saved—saved, Davy, by savages, who made him a slave, the worst of slaves. But one day this sailor saved the life of the chiefs daughter, who was in the coils of a huge snake, and the chief released him. More than that, he gave him choice spices and woods, and sent him aboard the first passing ship. So the sailor landed in a great city, sold his presents and put the gold in safe keeping. Then he traveled until he reached the seaport town where he was bora, and coming 'there at sunset, heard the story of his fife from the lips of a man cutting his tombstone.” Not a word spoke Davy. Standing erecf, he Seized an immense sledge hammer, and jrith powerful blows from strong, uplifted arms, dashed the marble into fragments. Then, panting with exertion, he held out his brawny hand to the stranger—a stranger no longer. • “ I’ve done no better work in my life than I’ve done in the last five minutes, Hiram. Go home, man, and makft Pearl’s heart glad. She don’t need it, Hiram—she don't need it. You asked me about the stone. The neighbors drove her to ordering it, twitting her that now she was rich she grudged the stone to her husband's memory. So she told me to cut it, but says, ‘Don’t put dead upon it, Davy—put lost at sea; for Hiram’s lost, but he 11 be found and come, back to iBe.’ She never looked at it, Hiram, never. And there’s not an hour, nor hasn’t been for ten years, that she hasn’t been looking for you to come back. Go to her, man, and the Lord’s blessing be upon both of you.” So grasping the hard, brown hand, Hiram Goldby took the path to the little white cottage in which he had been born forty-five years before. The sun had set and the darkness was gathering, hut a little gleam of light streamed from the window of his cottage. He drew near softly and stood on the seat of the porch, looking ever the halAmrtain into the neat but poor sitting-r^om. “It was not the grand house, Pearl’s heritage in New York, but Pearl h&rself was there. A slender woman, with a pale, sweet face, and black .hair smoothly banded and gathered into rich braids at the back of her shapely head. Her dress was a plain dark one, with white ruffles, cuffs aud an apron. She had been sewing, but her work was put aside, and presently she came to the open window and drew aside the curtain. She did not see the tall figure draWn closely against the wall in the narrow porch,, but her dark eves looked mournfully toward the sea, glimmering in the half light. *

“ aty darling!” she whispered, “are yon dead, and has your spirit come to take mine where we shall part no more?’’ Only the wash of the waves below answered her. Sighing softly, she said: “Is my darling coming? I feel him so (Bear me, I could almost grasp him.” She_stretched out her arms over the low window sill, and a low voice answered hear: “Pearl! Pearl!” The arms that had so long grasped only empty air were tilled then, as Hiram stood under the low window. “Do not move love,” she whispered, pressing her soft lips to his; “I always wake when you move.” “But now,” he said, “you are already awake. See, Pearl, your trust was Heaven-given. It is myself, your fond, true husband, little one, who will never leave you again.” “It is true! You have comer* she cried at last, bursting into a torrent of happy tears. “ I. knew you were not dead. You could not be dead, and my heart not tell me.” It was long before they could think of 'anything but the happiness of a reunion after the nfany years of separation, but at last, drawing Pearl closer, Hiram whispered: "I walked from J——, love, and am enormously hungry.” And Pearl’s merry laugh chased the last shadows from her happy face, and she bustled about the room preparing supper. _ “Supper lor two!” she cried, gleefully. '/he grand house in New York is tenanted by its owners, and Hiram goes to

ae» no more; but In the summer time two happy people borne for a quiet month to the white cottage at Monkton, and hare always to listen to Davy’s tale of the evening when he was cutting Hiram Goldby“s tombstone, and ended by smashing It into atoms. “For,” is the invariable ending of the tale, “Pearl was right, and we welt) wrong, all of us; for Hiram Goldby was lost at sea, sure enough, but he was not dead, and he came to her faithful love as she always said he would.”—Ex change.__ Buckwheat. Uf all grains on the farm doubtless buckwheat is one of the most profitable, sinoe the labor employed in growing and harvesting a crop is not one-hall that bestowed in the growing and harvesting of oats, wheat, etc. In some sections of the countiy, particularly io Ohio, Pennsylvania and some of the New England States, this grain is an important product, for the reason that it flourishes comparatively well on poor soils and is usually a sore crop to plant. Its uses are various and the demand always good. Its use as one of our principal breadstuffs is well known, and “hot griddles” are a necessary appendage to every good breakfast, particularly during the winter and spring months. When mixed with other grains, especially corn and oats, it makes a most excellent kind of provender, and is greatly relished by swine. For winter feeding it is excellent, as it is of a heating nature, and for this reason should only be fed in moderate quantities. For poultry it is one of the best grains we have, and is only surpassed for egg production by refuse wheat. Buckwheat requires a light, warm soil, mellow and not over fertile, and, like beans, when planted on rioh soil the straw is more abundant than the grain, and therefore too rich soil is not favorable for a large yield. Properly speaking, > there are only two sorts cultivated—the black or brown and the silver hull. The first variety is mostly planted, and is excellent for all purposes for which the grain is used. The latter sort is claimed by some to be much superior to the former, while others who have tested it pronounce it inferior. The silver hull ripens a few days earlier and continues longer in bloom, while it is claimed by some growers that the yield per acre is nearly*double under the same conditions. 3%e grain is opa fine light color, varying slightly in shade, and'the corners are much less prominent than in an ordinary variety, while the husk is a trifle thinner. The flour is whiter, more like wheat, and is auite as

nutritious as the black variety. As a honey plant it is quite valuable, but gives a dark color to the comb and is heavy bodied, but the flavor is ordinarily good, though not equal to that made from white clover. The seed should be sown from the 1st to the 15th of July, at the rate of from three pecks to a bushel to the acre, and should be harrowed and bushed in. It is a rapid growing grain, matures in September and should be cut before it is ripe, to avoid shelling. Cut when the dew is off, and alter the straw is dry rake into little bundled, and stand on end, giving the top ai little twist so that the straw will han&Aegether and not fall over. The yield of good soil is from fifteen to twenty-five bushels to the acre, the former being about the average yield. The straw heretofore has been considered worthless save for bedding, but a late experiment made in steaming and adding a little meal has resulted in proving conclusively that when fed in small quantities it can be utilised as a very good mash for stock. There is doubtless very little nutriment in straw, but when sprinkled with die meal it becomes valuable and palatable. It is said to be of a loosening nature, heuee it may be fed with decided advantage during the winter. A*variety of food for stock is especially valuable, and by occasionally feeding the straw, in connection with hay and oat stsaw, will no doubt result in good farm stock. Almost every fanner has some pieos of ground adapted to this gram, and while not rich enough for corn and other grains, will produce a good cr*p of this sort of wheat. On new land the crop is most abundant, white the grain is plump and laree. We'ean confidently recommend the growing of buckwheat to all'who do not ordinarily rtrow this important product It will heh> to eke out the other sorts grown, andfthe result in feeding will be satisfactory— Farm and Friend. Heir to Beil and Stew. To do either properly the food *uast be immersed at the beginning in actually boiling water, and the water must be allowed to reach the boiling Soint again immediately and to boil for about five minutes- The action of the boiling water upon the surface of either meat or vegetables is to harden,it slightly, but enough to prevent the wcape of either juices or mineral sdRs. After the pot containing the food lias begun to boil the second time, itshould be removed to the side of the fire, and allowed .to -simmer until the food is done. This simmering, or stewing, extracts all the Nutritious qualities of either meat or ^vegetables; the pot should be kept closely covered, unless for a moment when , it is necessary to raise the cover in order to remove'the scum. The steam will condense apon the inside of the cover, and fall back into the pot in drops of moisture, if the boiling is slow. Do not think, that rapid boiling cooks faster tban the gentle process 1 recommend. After- the pot once boils you cannot make its contents cook any faster if you have fire enough under it to run a steam engine. So save vour fuel and add it to the fire little by little, to keep the pot boiling. Remember if you boil meat hard and fast it will be tough and tasteless and most of its goodness will go up the chimney, or out of the windowflprith the steam.—Golden Aide.

Dresses at a Queen’s Drawing-Seem, Many of the dresses, says London Truth, were magnificent, and die dise.y of Bowers was extraordinary. e Princess of Wales’ dress of gold brocade-dyer gold-colored satin was very striking. On seeing the names of two Indian ladies, the Queen expressed a wish'that they would appear in their native dress, and accordingly they attracted all eyes in white muslin thickly striped with gold, with - a profusion of gola jewelry and gold bands round the head. The Duchess of Westminster wore riolet and mauve trimmed with gold lace- The Duchess of Clereiand’s colored jet trimmings attracted muoh attention. The Duchess of Manchester appeared in dark brown, of a reddish shade, and her daughter, the Dtehess of Hamilton, in pink satin, trimmed with laoe—a brocade train, Lady Knightley's dress was one of the most; remarkable, as its train was thickly embroidered with rows of peacock’s feathers. Lady Loudoun (presented on her marriage by her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Norfolk) wore white brocaded satin, and the same color waa worn by another bride. Lady Leighton, presented by her mother; Mrs. Honldsworth, or Coltness. Lady Hastings was presented by Lady Suffietd. One lady appeared in a white satin dress with handrpuntecl violets, pansies and lilacs all over it. —A turkey was recently hatched out on Somona Mountain, Q«U., which had four legs, four wings, two neck, all perfect, and one head.

Use clean old oats, and pack fresh eggs in a temperature of from thirty-six to forty degrees. The trouble with Western eggs, it was explained, is that they are not gathered and packed when fresh. * —Cucumber Catsup.—Grate three dozen large cucumbers and twelve white onions; put three handfuls oi salt over them.

Of eours% where soap is made it will all be thus used, but it is a question whether it is not much easier and more profitable to buy the soap and make the hens lay by feeding them the fat. Everything that is not wanted for cooking purposes, should be boiled up with the vegetables for the fowls. —Bun Loaf.—Take five pounds of flour and five teaspoonfuls of soda, mix well; add oqe pound raisins, one pound c-urrants. two ounces candied peel, two ounces citron, half-pound brown sugar, half-poun^ treacle, half-pound lard or butter, two teaspoonfuls allspice.

Bake slowly in deep tins, as it will rise considerably. —Prof. Kedzie, of the Agricultural Department of the Michigan University, recently said that a paint or wash made of skim milk, thoroughly skimmed, and water brine will render wood uninflammable, and he proved it by experiment. He said this paint, or whitewash, is durable, very cheap, impervious to water, of agreeable color and as it will prevent wood from taking fire, he urged its use, particularly on roofs, out-buildings, barns, etc. —A correspondent of the Rural Ne» Yorker says that a good washing fluid which will not injure the clothes may be made by dissolving one pound at potash in one gallon of water, add one ounce of ammonia, and one ounce salts, of-tartar. When you wash, add one teaeupful of this fluid to a boiler of clothes. Soap must be added, and the clothes soaped on the most soiled places. The clothes should be soaked over night. In the morning wring them out, and boil as stated above. —Tomato Salad.- Peel and slice the tomatoes, put into a salad dish and pour over them a dressing prepared as follows: Three yelks of hard-boiled eggs, pounded; one beaten raw egg, one teaspoonful of cayenne, one teaspoonful of white sugar, two tablespoonfuls of salad oil, one teaspoonful of made mustard, one-half teacupful vinegar. Mix yelks, mustard, pepper, salt, sugar and oil to a paste. Beat in the raw egg with your whisk, finally, the roil a little at a time. Stir a great lump of ice into the dressing, whirling rapidly for half a minute. Take it out and pour the mixture over the salad.

—Bow .PeW&tells the following story: L One night in ltDl a little girl about a P year old was left at the foundling hoar pital at Brest. She %as wdft dressedm and a note pinned to her skms stated that her name was Solange, add that she would eventually be claimed by her father. She grew up, Rfewaver, tfoclaimed, and extraordinarily loftely; but , her intellect appeared to be weak, and 1 she suffered from fits of nervousness. At twelve she was sent into the streets to sell flowers, until hwr^ health failed and she died,' According' to a custom in the district, she was buried in a wicker basket, and, it being winter and the soil hard, a very slight excavation was made and sand thrown slightly over. During the night she revived from the trance which bad been mistaken for death, and at length crept from the grave. In crossing the ground between the cemetery and the fortifications she was stopped by the sentinel’s “ Qui viveV' and, not answering, fired at, very slightly wounded, and brought into the guardhouse. Her beauty made an intense impression on a rich young officer named Kramer,who sent her to a school in Paris. For four years he was tossed about in the war, but on returning to Paris found Solange an accomplished girl, without a trace of the nervous debility which had afflicted her. They married and lived happily in Paris. At length Capt. Kramer learned that inquiries were being made at Brest as to what bad become of the girl left at the foundling hospital in 1801, and that these inquiries were made at the instance of the Swedish Ambassador, with whom Capt. Kramer communicated. The result was that a month later Madame Kramer received a formal acknowledgment from Marshal Bernadotte, afterward Charles XVI. of Sweden, that she was his daughter. They snbseqnenty settled in Stockholm, were ennobled, and their son became an attach* to the Swedish Legation in Paris.
