A WIFE’S CONFESSION.

I did not marry for love. Very few people do, so in this respect I am neither better nor worse than my neighbors. No, I certainly did not marry for love; I believe I married Mr. Cartwright simply because he asked me. r This was how it happened. „ He was the Rector o 1 Doveton, and we lived at the Manor House, which was about ten minutes' walk from the church and rectory. We had daily service at Doveton, and I nearly always attended it, and it came to pass that Mr. Cartwright invariably walked home with me. It was a matter of custom now, and I thought nothing of it; it pleased him, and on the whole it was rather pleasant to me. I must confess, however, 1 was rather surprised when, one morning as we got to tne avenuo which led up to the Manor House, Mr. Cartwright asked mo to be his wife. I have never been able to find out why I said yes, but I did; perhaps I thought it a pity to throw away so much love; perhaps it was because he was so terribly in earnest that I dared not refuse him; perhaps I feared his pale face, and his low, pleading voice would over haunt me if I rejected his love; or, perhaps, it was because he only asked me to marry him—ho did not ask me if I loved him, for I think ho guessed 1 did not; perhaps it was all these reasons put together, but any how I said yes, and in due time wo were married. I ought to have been very happy, for he wa3 a most devoted husband, but I was not, and though I did not .notice it then, 1 know now that for the first six months after our marriage ho was not happy either. It was all my fault—l cither would j not or could not love him; I accepted all his devotion lo me as a matter of ! course, but I made no offort to return I it; and I am sure he had found out that he had made a mistake in marrying a woman who did not love him. One morning, about six months after our marriago, he told mo at breakfast that ho intended leaving me alone for a few weeks, to stay with his mother, who was not very well. He watched the effect of this announcement on me, but though I was really displeased, I boncealea my annoyance and asked 1 carelessly when he would start. Ho replied, the next day if I had no objection, and so it was settled. He was more affectionate than usual that tlay, and I was colder than ever; I only oneo alluded to his journey, and that was to ask if I might have my sister Maud to stay whilo he was gone. The next morning I was anxious to avoid a formal parting, so I drove to the station with him. As the train moved off, 1 remembered this was our first parting since our marriage, and I wished I had not been so cold. When I got homo the house looked so dreary and empty and there was no one to meet mo; presently one of the servants came for the shawls, and with her Nero, Mr. Cartwright’s retriever, which, when ho saw I was alone, sot up a howl for his master. I patted him and tried to comfort him,, feeling rebuked by his grief, as he followed me, winning, into the ’ house. Every room seemed empty, and each spoke of the absent master. At last I wandered into his study, whore he spent his mornings and liked me to sit and work; and now I remembered how often I had oxcuscd myself, saying I preferred the drawing-room, ana this reflection did not add to my happiness. Thero was a photograph of mo standing on his writing-table, and another on the chimney-piece; on tho walls hung two or three of my drawings, which lie had begged of me when we wore ongaged; indeed, tho room was full of little remembrances of me; 1 opened a book 1 had given him, and in it was his name in my handwriting, and underneath, in his own, "From my darling wife.” I laid it down with a sigh, as 1 thought how carefully he treasured ovorvtning 1 had ever given him and how little care I took of all his gifts tome. Everything 1 attempted, everything I looked at, reminded me of his goodness to mo and of my coldness ana ingratitude to him. At last I went to bed, where, alter working, myself Into a fever of anxiety lest he should not have reached tho end of his journey in safety, I at length cried myself to sleep. The next morning I wont down to breakfast with a heavy heart, for I knew I could not hear from him till the next day; it seemed so strange to breakfast alone, and Nero appeared to think so, too, for he was most unhappy, sniffing round his master’s chair in the most melancholy manner. My plate, for the first time since my marriage, was empty, as I sat down to breakfast, for my husband, who was an ejirly riser, always had a little bouquet me witn every morning; frequently I forgot all about it and Toft it to be put into water by the servant; this morning I would have treasured it most carefully if he had gathered it. After breftkfast 1 determined to rouse myself and go and visit some of the poor people In the village, so 1 tilled

my basket with some little delicacies for the sick and set out j!* Wherever I went it was the same story, all held forth on ray husband's gooanesa and kindness, for all had been helped by him in some way or other, and all loved and respected him. As I listened with burning cheeks I felt ns if I was tho only person on earth who had treated him with cruel ingratitude, and I was tho very person whom he moat loved and cherished. At lost I went home, tired and sick at iieart; but'there was no one to notieo I was pale and worn-out, no one to got me wino or soup to revive mo, no ono to make me lie down and rest, as he would have done had lie been there. Oh, how I missed him! What a fool I had been! Was thero evor woman loved and cared for as I had beenP Was there ever friend so ungratefulP Oh! why had I ever let him leave meP I was sure he would never come baok. Why had he gone awayP And conscience answered, “ You drove him; he gave you all ho had to give, and in return you gave him nothing but cold looks- and unkind words; and so he left you to seek love and sympathy from his mother.” This thought almost maddened me. In fancy I saw her sitting in my place by his side, loving and caressing him, as I had the best right to love and caress him. I pictured her receiving tenderly the little loving acts I had received so coldly, and now I was seized with a jealous anger against her. 1 mentally accused her of estranging my hushaha from me, and of trying to win his love from me, as though his heart was not large onough for both of us. When Maud arrived in the afternoon, I treated her to a long tirado of abuse against mothers-in-law in general, and my own in particular, ana I vented all the anger I really felt against rnyselfon the innocent Mrs. Cartwright. “ Why, Nelly,” said Maud, “ I thought you liked Mrs. Cartwright so much, and thought her so nice, that you oven wanted her to live with you, only your husband, very properly, as mamma says, objected.” “SoI did,” I answered; “but I did not know then she would ever entice my husband away from me in this way, or, of course, I should never have liked her.”

“ Really, Noll, you are very hard on the poor woman; for, as I understand, Mr. Cartwright went to her of his own freo will, because she was not well, and he thought his company would do her good,” said Maud. “ Nonsense; I am sure he would never have left me alone, unless she had put him up to it,” 1 replied, rather crossly. “ The truth is, Nelly, you are so much in love with your husband that you are jealous even of his mother; and you are making yourself miserable about nothing. Why, Mr. Cartwright will be back in a fortnight, and I dare say yon will get a letter from him every day; so cheer up, and let us go for a drive,” said Maud. 4. I agreed to this plan, and giving Maud the reins, 1 lay back and thought of her words. Was she right after all? Was I jealous? Was 1 really, as Maud said, in love with, my husband P Had I only found it out uow I was deprived of his company? Was this the reason that I could do nothing but inwardly reproach myself for my conduct to him? And the longer 1 thought, the more convinced 1 became that Maud was right, that I was jealous and that I was in love, as she called it. This knowledge did not make mb happier, for I no sooner knew I loved him than I longed to tell him so, and make up, as far as I could, for all my former cruelty, for I could call my conduct by no„'milder word. I passed a sleepless bight, and ns I lay awake I composed various letters of confession, which I resolved to send the following dav; but when morning came, my pride stepped in, and 1 began to feel it wrnild be impossible to write, and 1 settled I must wait till my husband came home ami then tell him how his absence had altered me. 1 got up early and walked out to meet the postman, so anxious was I to get a letter from him; it was the first I had evor received from him since our marriage, and no girl was ever so anxious for or so pleased with her first loveletter as I was over this.

It was a long letter, full of loving messages and terms of endearment, all of which cut me to the heart, for they sounded like so many reproaches; in reality, I think there was a tone of gentle reproach throughout the letter. Ho gave me an account of his journey and of his mother’s health, begged me to write to him a few lines ovory day, but he said not a word about returning. 1 spent tho morning in answering it, much to Maud’s amusement, w.ho, of course, thought I was pouring out volumes of love and complaints of my temporary widowhood; after tearing up about a dozen sheets of paper, 1 at last sent a short note, cool and with no allusions to my misery. The more I tried, the more impossible I found it to write any expression of love or penitence; though I was hungering to do so. For a whole week I went on in this way, suffering more acutely every day, and every day receiving long, loving letters from Mr. Cartwright, and writing short,, cold answers. I lost my appetite, I could not sleep at night, and the torture I was enduring made me look so ill that Maud became frightened,-And declared that she would writo and summon my husband home, and him 1 was pining away for him. I forbade her doing this so sternly that sho dared not disobey me, for 1 was determined that he should never hear from any lips but mine that at last his heart’s desire was attained, for I loved him. —— At last, when he had been away ten days, I could bear it no longer, for I felt I should have brain fever if I went on in this way, so I determined to go on to Melton, whore Mrs. Cartwrignt lived, and see my husband. I came to this decision one night, and went into Maud’s room early in the morning; to tell her my intention. 1 expected she would laugh at me, but I think she guessed something was wrong, for she seemed glad to hear it and helped me to pack a few things and set off in time to catch the morning train* '*lt was a three hours’ journey. They seemed three years to me, for Uie nearer I got to my husband tho more impatient I was to see him. At last we got to Melton, a largish town. Of course, as I whs not expected, these was no one to meet mo, so I took a fly to Mrs. Cartwright’s house, where I arrived ajiout three o’clock. I learned afterward that Andrew was with his mbther iri the drawing-room whep 1 drove up, but thinking 1 was only a-visitor, no escaped into another room, so I found my mother-in-law alone. -■»» By her aide was some of my husband’s socks which sfle was darning, seeks which I had handed over to the geryftnfc tp ipepd, and wipoji \ n<pjr

longed to snatch away from his mother. His dosk stood open, a letter to me which he was writing lying on it. The servant announced me as Mrs. Andrews, my voice faltering as 1 gave my name, so that Mrs. Cartwright bold up her hands in astonishment when s"ho saw who it was. “My dear! Nelly! Has anything happened? How ill you look! What is it?” she exclaimed. “I want my husband,” I gasped, sinking on to a chair, for I thought I should have fallen! Without another word Mrs. Cartwright left tho room; I feel sure now she guessed all about it, and I can never thank her enough for forbearing to worry mo with questions as to what 1 had come for. She came back in a few momonts with a glass of wine, which she made me drink off, saying she would send him to me at once if I took it. I complied, and she went for him; in another minute I heard his stop outside tho door, and then he came in. “ Nelly, my love—my darling! what is itP” he cried as I rusnod into nis outstretched arms, and hid tty face on his breast, sobbing bitterly. For some moments I could not epeak; at last I recovered myself enough to sob out: “Oh, Andrew, my love! my dear love! can yon ever forgive meP I came to ask yon, and to tell you I can’t live without you.” I would have said more, but his kisses stopped my mouth, and when at length he let me go there wore other tears upon my checks beside my own. That was the happiest hour of my life, in spite of my tears; and, before my motner-in-law rejoined us, which she discreetly avoided doing till dinnortime, I had poured out all 1 had to tell into mv husband’s ears; and 1 had learned from him that ho had left mo to try what effect his absence would have on me; for he had felt for some time that my pride was the great barrier he had to overcome to win my love, He had judged right. Ho was too generous to tell me how much he had suffered from my indifference, but I know it must have grieved him terribly. He is a different man now, ho looks so happy, and I know he would not change places with anyone on earth. We went back to the rectory next day, but we could not persuade Mrs. Cartwright to come with us; she said we were best alone, and I think she was right.— Cassell's Magazine.

How Chaffing Was Met.

At the rifle-grounds, Wimbledon, Eng., tho most aristocratic range for amateur shooting is that known as the running-deer range. Not long since, one of two or three young fellows, who wore in the habit of putting on airs when aft outsider shot at their favorite range, and “ chaffing” him, wore quietly punished. As one of them was shooting, a very respectable-looking, middle-aged man, evidently dressed in his best, came down to the range and watched the shooting with great interest; at length, as the shooter was doing very badly, he said, quietly, “ Aim more forrud, sir.” \ - “Halloo,” says the performer,can you shoot? Do you know anything about it?” The man civilly said he thought he did. “ Well, then,” says the other, “ I will stand you a gun and these five tickets, so that you may try your hand.” Then, rushing off to the other end of the butt, he says to his friend, “Such a lark, Harris! I’ve got an old fellow who thinks he can shoot, and stood him tickets and a gun. Come and see the old fogy—looks like a butcher. Dare say he lias won half a pig at Christmas at Hendon.” So down both of them came to see tho man perform, and took pains to tell all their lady friends of the fuu. The man took his place, and the deer was started. Ho tired rapidly, before the deer had got half-way a ;ross, and hit it in the head. Says Harris, “What a fluke! I tell you what, old chap, I’ll give you ten shillings every time you make a bull’s-eye, if you’ll give mo half a crown when you hit the haunch.” The man said he did not mind doing it, and a bystander, wh<s had noticed the shot, and had seen that ho aimed at the head, quietly pointed out the part to be hit to score a bull’s-eye. Tho long and short of it was that out of his lour shots two were bull’seyes, and tho other two close up. The man rose and pocketed his £l, and civilly thanked the two young men, who looked thoroughly sold, ana were awfully put out at being so taken in, and so publicly, too. Just as the man was leaving the range, a heartv-looking old gentleman called out, “Why, you here, James?” Tho man said “ Yes, my Lord; knew you had come down here, and wanted to see you about tho game, and then thought I’d like a look at this here.” And then ho told his master the story, to the old gentleman’s great amusement, who then went on to the range and told the olliccr there, to his great amusement also, and the two young men, to their great disgust; that the supposed “ butcher,” out for a holiday, was his lioad keeper, and one of tho best shots at deer in the Kingdom. The two follows’ faces wore a sight, ami tiiey have been uncommonly shy of chaffing or baiting any stranger at the range ever since— London Society.

—Water is one of the principal essentials for the calla lily, as it demands a largo amount. Another aid $0 ,its growth is a weekly sponging of its large leaves, which are great dust collectors.

As a flash producer, one pound of eggs is equal to one pound of beef. A hen may be calculated to consume one bushel of corn yoarly, and to lay twelve dozen or eighteen pounds of eggs. This is equivalent to saying that threo and one-tenth pounds of corn will produce, when fed to a hen, one pound of eggs. A pound of pork on the contrary requires about five and one-tenth pounds of corn for its production. When eggs are twentyfour cents a dozen and pork ten cents a pound, we have a bushel of corn fed, producings2.Bß worth of eggs and $1.05 of pork.

Milkmen have learned that it is important to give cows a variety of food. Hence their purchases of bran, meal, roots and oil-cake. It may not pay farmers to take so much pains, but they can promote tho thrift of their herds and their own profits by changing the animal’s food as often as possible.—Cor. Vountrt/ Gentleman.

Phases of Hired Help.

Vice seen toe oft, familiar with ite face. We first endure, then pity, then embrace. Nor is this true of vice alone, but also of many of the petty evils, annoyances, inconveniences aud misfortunes of daily life, and especially of incompetent, distasteful or incompatible hired help. ’ ; As soon as tho new hand is engaged, we at once set about instructing him in the duties he will have to perform Sooner or later, the length of time depending on his aptitude and industry, lie becomes familiar with the routine of his work. So long as the newcomer continues a “new broom” he may impress us with the belief that he is just the man we wanted—the right man in the right place. Butit sometimes happens that so soon as the notion enters into his mind that his situation is secure, that his services are so highly valued as to be substantially indispensable, just so soon does his conduct often change for the worse, and this though his treatment may be as considerate as formerly and his remuneration equally good. He becomes less respectful, less assiduous and thoughtful; though no addition may be made to bis former duties, and though he may still have the same facilities for properly performing them, yet ho first neglects one thing, and then another. Although he may have abundance of time, yet he often shirks and slights his work whenever he can do so without the risk of immediate detection, and—a natural result of such conduct—he becomes untrustworthy. Although all this may seem apparent to his employer, yet remembering the valuable services of which his help may have shown himself capable, and dreading tho tedious ordeal of breaking in another to supply I# place, he may often feel disposed to permit his unsatisfactory hand to retain his position, in the hope that he may see- the evil of his ways and reform. Frequently, however, this hopo is disappointed; the man’s conduct becomes unbearable, and be is finally discharged, perhaps after years of service. Again, we have known instances in which utterly worthless men have boon retained for years on the farm, because their plausible ingenuity gave a false appearance of value to their services. Perhaps they wore possessed of considerable mechanical skill, and by deftly mending broken implements or handily executing odd bits of carpentry or painting, cunningly caused these occasional trivial jobs to stand instead of that hard, every-day labor on the farm, which, however profitable in its remote results, makes but little immediate show.

Then, again, in farming sometimes, but still oftenertn mercantile life, there occur striking instances were utterly unprincipled men, by studying the weak points in their employer’s character, and cunningly employing obseSuiousncss, subterfuge, misrepresentaon, or sullenness; as occasion may require, havo obtained absolute control over him and his business, and sometimes indeed over the entire family. In this they are often aided by gradually filling all vacancies about the place with creatures of their own type, and their own Selection: by alternately treating their employer with bland submission and premeditated sulkiness; and by losing no opportunity of impressing upon him the vast extent of theii own abilities and the absolute necessity of their aid to the success of his business. Although, at the outlet, the employer may only temporarily “ endure’’ these diplomatic tricksters, yet habit may soon lead him to “pity,” and finally to “embrace” them rather than suffer them to quit the business which, owing to their arts, niight then be more justly q«AM theirs than his, Although few" 1

men have ever stepped out of the most exalted positions iu this world, and still fewer out of merely subordinate places in it, who could not be replaoed, yet he lias been educated to believe their services indispensable, and, though groaning under their whims anti edicts, is foroed to retain them in control of his business. We believe that so soon as an employer is satistiod of the incompetency, untrustworthiness or incompatibility of those who work for him, the sooner a separation takes place the better for, both sides, and that the upright emwho, while wishing to retain n manliness and independence, treats his help courteously and fairly in every respect, will in all cases strictly adhere to such a course. —Rural New Yorker .

feeding Horses New Hay and Oats.

Tiie question whether horses are injured by being fed on now hay andfresh oats has been mado a subject of investigation by a French Military Commission, who have been experimenting upon cavalry regiments. The results or the experiments prove that the health of the horses was not essentially injured by new hay if they rcoeived the ordinary regulation ration along with other fodder. Sorho animald were at iirst rather less active and more quiet, they sweated more freely, and the excrements were somewhat softened; but in a short time this ceased. In general. the horses ate tho new hay more willingly than the old. They retained the same strength and corpulence as before. Tho hair kept bright, the health perfook Of 150 horses from four to thirteen years old, with which the experiments were instituted, thirtyseven gained in fatness, and eighteen in strength and endurance. Only eighteen lost flesh, and eight lost strength, while seventy-nine remained unchanged. A second series of experiments upon 150 horses gave the same results. On the other hand, another series of experiments was less successful, wnero seventy-four horses, from four to thirteen years old, wore fed exclusively with new hp.y, the quantity being increased until it equalled the regulation rations of old hay, straw and oats together.. On this feed there was no real sickness, but a general weakness, frequent sweats, loss of appetite, digestion disturbed, diarrhoea, relaxation of the muscles, weariness, etc. Tho decision of the Commission was that new hay can replace old hay in the regular rations without injury, and perhaps with advantage, but that to feed them exclusively on new hay is injurious to the horses. Experiments were mado upon 1,800 horses by feeding them on * new oats, anil were attended with favorable results, inasmuch as the animals nearly all increased in bulk and strength, from which the Commission concluded that new oats can be substituted for old ones with advantage, and hence it is useless to wait two months after the harvest before permitting the use of new oats. These experiments refute most positively tho prejudice that still prevails in many places against feeding new hay and oats to horses,—Qnthe ether hand, it cannot be denied that horses to which new hay is given are frequently exposed to colic. The danger is only present, then, when the horses receive no definite rations, but have put before them as much as they can eat. In this case they not only eat much more new hay, but they also eat much more eagerly and greedily, which can be so much more injurious, as experience proves that those very horses which are most inclined to the colic eat most greedily. —lndustrie Blatter.
