WHO TOLD?

“The Prince of Widen is going to be at Fort Erie to-morrow afternoon.” The person speaking was Pansy Corbyn; the person spoken to was Abby Gilfillan, Pan’s room-mate. At Pan’s Announcement, she looked up eagerly and said with enthusiasm: “Is her” “ I told you once,” said Pan. “Oh! I wish I could see him!” exclaimed Abby, without heeding Pan’s fun, “Is he coming over here?” “No, he isn’t coming. Isn’t it mean?” “I think it’s strange he isn’t. He might find something in Buffalo worth seeing; but I can’t understand what he wants to stop At Fort Erie for, unless it is to see the spot where his folks were whipped. Didn’t we whip the British there?” Pan colored as she owned that she didn’t know, and declared that she never could remember history. “Well,” said Abby, “it’s interesting to be studying ancient Greece when we are ignorant of historical ground which we can see from the seats where we recite. Oh! I wonder if the Prince could see a flag if we should fly one from our window. Oh! dear! dear! Ido want to see him. I do wish we could, Pan.” “Well, why can’t we?” “ Why can’t we?” Abby repeated, “ because we are such gumps as to be at boarding-school.” “I’ll teU you, Abby,” said Pan, making her tone low and confidential, “if you’ll go, I’ll manage it. I’ll ask permission to go to Black Rock to see Aunt Porter; mother told Mrs. ‘C.’ (this was the Principal’s wife) to let me go whenever she could. And, when I’ve got permission. I’ll ask her to let you go with me. But, instead of going to Aunt Porter’s, we’ll go across the river to see the Prince.” “I’m afraid we’ll be found out. There’ll be somebody there who knows us.”

“Nobody in Buffalo knows us except the school-girls and teachers. We’ll protect ourselves with veils and parasols. At any rate, lam willing to run some risk for the sake of seeing the Prince.” “ So am I,” said Abby, stoutly. “ I’m just crazy to see him. I know he must be perfectly lovely. Oh! I wonder if he’ll be dressed in royal purple and ermine, and scarlet and gold. Do you think, he’ll have plumes in his capP I wonder if we’ll see the crown ■jewels! Oh! I guess he’ll have on a crown.” The next afternoon, Pan set out with Abby osi te hsiblyTorher A tintToner* s. ' In realitv, after buying some bouquets for the Prince, they took a street-car for the ferry. Hiding behind their parasols and with veils drawn dotyn, they joined the crowd there waiting for the boat. They skulked around large men and behind women’s spreading hoops, straining their eyes back of the barege veils to assure themselves that there were no familiar faces about • them. The ferry-boat was crowded with people eager for a sight of royalty; but as far as the runaways could determine, all were strangers to them. “Abby, my sweet duck, I believe tve are safe,” Pan said in a low tone, as they stood at one end of the boat, watching the bright Niagara. “ Yes,” said Abby, venturing to push her veil to one side, “and we’re having such a nice time. Think of those poor, cooped-up girls we’ve left behind us. I wish we had brought Angelica along.” “I don’t wish so,” said Pan. ?*A secret isn’t safe with three.” - “ That is very true,” said a voice beside them. How it startled those guilty girls!, They involuntarily snatched at their veils, and just aS involuntary whirled •their faces toward the speaker. “ Perhaps yotpmmember,” continued the voice,-?*.Gilbert Stuart’s illustration of this.” The girlk stared at the man with the voice, who wag standing near them—a smallish, red-haired, bqtnot unhandsome person. He continued: ““’I know a secret,’ said Stuart, * that’s one,’ and he chalked dpwn the figure 1; ‘my friend knows it,’ he chalked another 1 beside the first: * I tell it to you,’ and h'e wrote a third figure 1 beside the other two; ‘ now, how many know my secret? Ill—one hundred and eleven, instead of three.’ ” 1 believe you never saw two girls more uneasy than were Pan and Abby during this narration. Pan squeezed and pinched Abby’s 'hand, and Abby squeezed and pinched back. Each undersood this to mean that they must get away from this red-haired impertinence just as soon as possible. So before the anecdote was fairly told, they were moving away from the speaker. They did not see him again till the boat had reached the Canada side. In getting ashore, they found themselves aside him. He -v<£unteered some information about the order of reception exercises, but the frightened girls fell back in the human stream without a word, 'o him. “Impudent thing!” said Pan. “If he speaks to me again, I shall scream murder till t bring the Prince to my rescue.” But the truants soon forgot themselves in the interest of the vivid scene. There were flags and festoons, bowers ■stfiT wreathed* arches; • fluwer-wrought words of welcome and loyalty. The girls, thrilling with an undefinable kind of devotion toward they knew not what, ran forward with the eager

crowd, eager as the most devoted of the Queen's subjects, toward the point where loyal shouts of welcome, and blasts from brazen throats, and the booming of cannon, told the arrival of the heir-apparent to the most powerful of earth's Kingdoms. Thsy could hardly refrain from cheering as they came in sight of the staging and canopy where the Prince was to be presented to his people. And when they saw the beaming young man himself, bowing to the enthusiastic multitude, they were half wild with enthusiasm. “Isn’t he lovely?” cried Abby, stretching up her head to be rid of a towering, obstructing bonnet in‘front of her, “ Perfectly splendid,” answered Pan, also stretching her neck up, and from side to side, dodging a bushy, uncovered head.

•• I never saw anything so sweet,” said Abby. “Or so grand,” said Pan. “He’s perfectly sublime.’’ Thon she added petulantly, “ I wish Canadians wern’t so big; I haven’t seen an inch of the Prince, except the top of his head.” “I haven’t either, said Abby. “I wish I could be a giant for an hour.” “Then you’d be found out” “Here’s an empty carriage; let’s climb into it” said Abby. “Oh! let’s!” said Pan. “Then we can have a splendid view.” It was a handsome, open carriage, and they climbed in, wondering that it had not been appropriated by some one else as an observatory. In their excitement their Veils were thrown aside, and their parasols tilted back over their shoulders. -Scarcely were they seated when Abby gave Pan a startling nudge, uttering a low, alarmful exclamation. “ There are Mrs. C. and all the girls!” she said. They got on their veils in frantic haste, and threw up their parasols as screens. Then they tried to abandon themselves to enjoy the remainder of the performance. What they did do was to fidget and worry, and to peep under their parasols in the direction of Mrs. C.’s party, and to issue bulletins to each other as to the maneuvers of the same. But at length they noticed some signal movements in the Prince’s party. They were stretching up, straining their eyes and ears, when the coachman of the appropriated carriage, turning to them, said: “You’ll have to get out now; the Prince wants his carriage.” Think of it; those girls who wanted to keep themselves hid, had perched themselves in the Prince’s carriage—in the most conspicuous position but one on the grounds! They got Very quickly to their feet, with exclamations of surprise, confusion and apology. Abby jumped out at the right, Pan came out with a flying leap at the left, landing almost in the arms of the red-haired young man who had told them about Gilbert Stuart. “ I wonder the coachman allowed us to sit there,” Abby said, as they went on, trying to lose themselves in the crowd. Pan explained that it was ex-Presi-dent Fillmore’s carriage, taken over from Buffalo for the occasion. “ The coachman, I suppose, is used to republicanimpudence.” = They hastened toward the river, anxious to get the first boat, and arguing that it would take some time for Mrs. 0. to collect her girls and get them into marching line, and so she would miss the first boat. “Only think,” said Abby, “if we hadn’t run away, we should have com® along like honest folks with Mrs. C. and * the girls,’ instead of skulking along this way. ’ ’ “Iwish we hadn’t tried to cheat,” Pan said, as they crowde&into the little cabin. Once established there, they would be unable to get out, so great was the jam. They were securely packed to one side of the cabin, and had raised their veils for a taste of fresh air, when the keen-eyed Abby whispered cautiously: “Don’t turn your head; draw down your veil; steady! They are all on board, over to your left hand. Facebound this way. We must keep our backs to them. Mrs. C. is looking straight at you.” There they were forced to stand in that herring pack, heated to the verge of suffocation beneath their thick veils, afraid to turn their beads, afraid to have their voices heard, afraid to make any kind of movement, lest some peculiarity of manner might betray them. Then, shortly after the start, some of " the girls’’ by some slight rearrangement of the crowd, were brought nearer the truants, actually touching. To nudge each other, to press each other’s toes, were the only interchange of sympathy that Abby and Pan dared to make, even when Rach Keeler said to Angelica: “I should think those two girls would smother under those thick veils. Wonder why they wear them?” This remark aroused people's attention, and everybody in the neighborhood began to stir and twist about, as well as the close pack .would allow, and to stare at the veiled figures, and to ask who they were and what the matter was, and why they wore veils, etc., etc. Ohl how the faces under those brown veils did burn! Then, after another while, Rach Keeler set her foot on Pan’s skirt, for this school-girl wore her walking-dress longer at that time than when she was five years older. For the rest of the ride, on the boat, she was pinned to the floor.

By avoiding the ear which Mrs. €k took, our truants, without further adventure, reached the academy in time for tea. At the table, the one subject of comment was the trip to Fort Erie, and the Prince. All regretted that Pansy and Abby had missed the treat. “Don’t you wish you had put oft your visit .to your aunttill-tomroresWP’ one of the girls asked. “ Yes,” said Pan, growing very red. Then she asked for a cup of tea to divert attention from hersem “How is your Aunt Porter?” Mrs. 0. asked. “ Tolerably well,” said Pan, faintly, her face fairly blazing. “ What if aunt should be dying this minute!” she thought. ’’* Didn’t she go to see the Prince’” Mrs. C. asked. —— Pan wished she could go through the floor. What should she say ? She gazed at her plane with the desperate decision of pretending that she had not heard the question. “Yqp,” Alice Hyde said, “Mrs. Ported went to see the Prince. I saw Jfeer |. ... L Pan jumped to take advantage of this light. She looked up, in a sprightly way, at Mrs. C. and said: “ Did you ask if Aunt Porter went to see the Prince? Oh, yes. she went.” ’ ll ‘ShrwaS in Mrs. JuafelVatrS‘c tßfriage,” continued Alice. “ Why, no.” interposed Rach Keeler. "That wasn’t Mrs. Porter with Mrs. Watt; that was Mrs, Kinne. She lookr

like Mrs. Porter; but it wasn’t Mrs. Porter; was it. Pan?” The entrapped, bewildered girl could think of nothing to do or to say, but to turn her hot face and guilty eyes to her neighbor, and nretend ignorance of the appeal, and talk, talk, in a voluble, rattling, irrelevant way. At the first pause, the neighbor asked in a tone to be heard by half the table: “ Why didn’t you go with your aunt to see the Prince ?” The distressed, hunted Pan lost all self-control, and snapped out an order to be let alone. - r • it “ I fear you tire not well/'* said Mrs. C,, surprised. (<*. ' *'' “ My head aches,” stammered Pan. Pansy’s troubles were not dismissed with the dismission of thelablo. She was plied with questions and questions until, half-frantic with her vain efforts to evade them, she had involved and compromised herself, and had got hall the girls in the house “ mad at her.” At last, she rushed up to her room, locked the door, and fell on the bed sobbing. “On! Abby, Abby, Abby!” shecried, “ this is horrible. I’ve told fifty lies about this mean, mean scrape, and Pll have to tell fifty more before I hear the last of it.” “ Yes,” said Abby, with much sympathy, but in deep despondency. “ 1 wouldn’t go through with what I’ve suffered in the last six hours to see all the Kings and Queens on the face of the earth in a row. The Prince wasn’t anything wonderful to see, anyhow. He looked like the young men we see on the street here every day.” “He isn’t half as good looking" as lots of them,” said Abby, with a toss of her head; resentful, but tearful. “No, he isn’t,”'Pansy said, sitting up on the side of the bed, her eyes and nose very red. “He’s homely; he looks soft; I wouldn’t give a pin to see such a flat-looking fellow. I can’t bear him. 1 wish he hadn’t come to Fort Erie; wish he hadn’t come to America; wish he had never set foot on the Western Hemisphere. What did he want to come traipsing across the Atlantic Ocean for? Why didn’t he stay at home and mind his own business instead of coming to that contemptible Fort Erie, and getting us into this horrible tangle? Til never forgive him.” That wretched, wretched night which Pan and Abby tossed and groaned and dreamed through, they will never forget in this world. Should they confess or not ? This was talked over, and cried over, and sobbed over, and prayed over, let us hope. And it was yet undecided when, the next morning, they were dressing and waiting for the prayer-bell. They felt so restless, that before this rang, they went down-stairs.

In the room where the morning worship was to be held, they found Mr. C., the principal, reading the morning paper, and Mrs. C. giving some last touches to the arrangement of the room before sounding the prayer-bell. Mrs. C., a large-hearted, motherly woman, kissed Pansy, asking how the headache was, while Mr. C. put out his hand to Abby. With a great, yearning throb toward her own trear mother, working for her off in a Pennsylvania village, saving for her, praving for her, Pan put her head on Mrs. C.’s shoulder, and told the story; while Abby, wishing she had a shoulder to hide her tears on, was explaining the situation to Mr. C. When the story had been fairly told, Mrs. C. said: “ I know, my dear girls, that you will feel doubly thankful for having made this confession, when I tell you that Mr. C. and I knew of this matter before you entered the room this morning. We read of it in the paper.” “ In the paper?” cried Pansy, while Abby sat with wonder-opened eyes. “ Yes,” said Mr. C., turning to the paper and reading from the report of the Prince’s reception at Fort Erie: “ Two of the young ladies from the Buffalo Academy, members of Mr. C.’s family of boarders, climbed into an unoccupied carriage for a better view of the proceedings. They were very much aurpriaed and embarrassed to learn, at the close of tne ceremonies, that they had inadvertently placed themselves in a very conspicuous position, as the carriage was the reception-coach used for the Prince of Wales.” Mr. C. finished the reSdingwitlrhiß hand on the bell which was to call the family to worship. While it was ringing, Pan went over End took a chair by Abby. “ Oh! Abby,” she said, in a low tone, “ whtttrff“we hadn’t confessed!’ ’ “ What if we hadn’t!” replied Abby. “It was that red-haired man who told. I know it was. He’s a reporter on the Courier; I remember, now, seeing him, one day, at a window in the Courier office.„ Any way, 1 think it was mean in him*'to tell; he might have known, by the way we acted, that we were runaways. He ought to have had alittle mercy on us.”. “If he hadn’t told, it would have been found out some other way,” said Abby. “Things always arefouud out.” Sarah W. Kellogg, in St. Nicholas for November.

Effect of Salt on Wheat.

In an interesting series of experiments recently made on the farm of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, the manorial value of salt was unmistakably indicated. An acre of wheat dressed with 300 pounds of common salt yielded thirty-nine bdshels of grain, with a proportionate amount of straw, while an adjoining acre, left unmanured, produced only twenty-nine bushels per acre, with the straw imperfectly developed. The entire cost of the crop is not stated, but this experifflßill shows thar the" additional ten bushels resulting from the salt were produced at a cost of thirty cents each. In another case a piece of ground intended for wheat was plowed the ceding fall, and again in May, when it was sowed with salt, and afterward plowed before seeding. -Onrthe*lst &hd 2d of September wheat was sowed at the rate of two bushels to the acre. The crop, when harvested, yielded according to the estimate of the owner, Mr. John Parke, not loss than forty bushels of grain to the acre, with a luxuriant growth or straw. From these and many similar cases the inference seems to be that salt is a specific for the wheat crop, imparting solidity to the grain and firmness to the straw. But it must not be concluded that equally good results will al waya follow the application of salt.— Montreal Qasette. __ Two Germans met in San Francisco recently. After affectionate greeting, the following dialogue ensued: "Fen you said you hes arrived?” “'Yesterday.” “ You came dot Horn around ?”, ■"» No.” 1 ! Oh! den you come dot land over?” “No.” “Deh you hes not arrived?” (“ Oh, yes! I hes arrived. I Come det Mexico through.” - • «*"— ...Mn. Dentlrt.

F. tells the Country Gentleman that some of our best farmers Intend to sow only four or five pecks of, wheat per acre. Their idea is to grade< the wheat, selecting all the large grains. This, they think, will give as good a seeding as two bushels sown in the usual way. Using some concentrated manure where the young plants can get it, will cause them to “ stool” and cover the whole ground. —ln speaking of the necessity of land drainage, Mr. Mechi says: “ The want of a hole in the great agricultural plantpot, during the last wet winter, has caused many an agricultural purse to be only half-filled. How strange it is that no farmer would have a plant-pot in his green-house or home without hole In the bottom, while the same individual often does not consider one to be necessary in the big plant-pot outside.” —Corn-stalks are no longer to be considered as a waste product, good for nothing but to be trodden under foot. They are worth fully the cost of putting in the crop, if saved well and cured. When cut at the right time, and well cured, $6 a ton is, by many, considered a reasonable estimate of their value for feed, when hay is worth $lO per ton. Careful experiments place well-cured corn-stalks as worth about three-fifths as much as hay.—American —One of our horses had tender feet forward and was very lame. Mr. Van Guysing, who happened to be at the shop while we were getting him shod, advised having shoes put on without calks. “Get the foot as near the ground as possible, so that a horse can step on to Nature’! calks, the frogs,” said he, “ and the horse will go all right” Old Jim has not been lame since this valuable advice was practically carried out Another horse had been lame a year; one.blacksmith after Another had tried his skill, but all in vain. At last a shrewd fellow suggested that the animal had been shod too much. “ These artists,” he said, “havecut her feet all away.” This was not literally true, but each one had pared and cut until the naturally large feet were reduced almost to the quick. By preventing any more cutting away of the feet this animal was cured.— Rural New Yorker.

Birds the Farmer’s Best Friends.

With the first cold blast and svmptoms of approaching winter the dwellers in every country home will miss their summer visitors, the birds. All through the spring and summer months they made the heuge-rows and grass cheerful with their lively songs, while they kept up a constant warfare on the myriads of insects which prey upon friiit and forest trees and grain fields. Those who are so fortunate as to have groves of trees which have attained "considerable size, have had the larger birds, such as the blackbird, the jay, oriole and thrushes as allies in protecting their crops from the myriads <sflnsect life whicn breed so prolific in the clear, dry atmosphere of Kansas. The most wise and beneficial law of the State, which makes it a misdemeanor to kill any upland, insectivorous bird, shotfid be the law Of every State in the Union. Then the thousands of boys and idle men who stroll out from the towns and cities and slay for the indulgence of wanton sport those best friends of the farmer, Would have their murderous work stopped by the stern mandate of the law". While birds of passage which swarm up from the borders of the tropics when spring returns to find breeding grounds m the cooler shady regions or a more temperate clime are protected from molestation by the laws of the .State they will not stop with us and build their nests unless we provide suitable homes for them during their sojourn. They require comfortable shade and safe places among the sheltering boughs ’Of tall trees. The wren, the blue bird, the martin, the robin and swallow select a place to rear their young near to ‘he habitation of man, and should be provided with boxes, shrubbery and such accommodations as they prefer, while the larger and shyer birds will not tarry with the prairie farmers unless invited bv tall trees and sheltering

S roves. The season is now near at and when the planting of trees should btS done, and one of the most important duties of the dwellers on the prairie is planting trees. The, timber will be of value m the future, and the trees, as soon as they are large enough to cast a shadow, begin to be useful—useful as a protection from sun and wind,Useful as a beautiiier of the monotonous landscape. And not less useful and important as a summer home for the feathered visitors, which will be sure to be drawn to them in their flight in search-of breeding grounds .
