TWO WOMEN. A grandma MtS in h<»r grpat armchair; Hulniy Mwcct la the soft spring air. Through the latticoJ. lilac-shadowcrt pans She looks to the orchard beyond the lane; And she catches the gleam of a woman's dress As it flutters about In the wind's caress. “ That child is glad as the day Is long— Her lover is coming, her life’s a song!" ITp from the orchard's flowery bloom Floats fragrance faint to the darkening room Where grandma dreams, till a tender grace And a softer light steal into her fine. For once again she is young and fair. And twining roses In her hair Once again, blithe as the lark atiove, She is only a girl, and a girl in love! The years drop from her their weary pain; She is clasped in her lover's arms again!

“Don’t shoot, sir,” he said, fori took care to let the handle of Edward John's pistol protrude from my dress-ing-gown. “1 am poor, but honest; 1 only came in here for the warmth and
to have a snooze.”
“How did you get in?” 1 inquired,
sternly.
“I just prized up the wash’us’ winder,” was his plaintive reply, “and
laid down ’ere.”
“ Then you put out your boots in the back hall to be cleaned in the morning.

At this he grinned a dreadful grin. It seemed to say: “As you have the whip-hand of me, you may be as humorous as you please; but if it was not for that pistol, my tine friend, you would

All was right apparently in the drawing-room, all right certainly in the study (where I had myself been sitt'imr). and till right—no, not quite all right in our little back hall or vestibule, where, upon the round table, the very largest and thickest pair of navvy’s boots I ever saw were standing between my wife’s neat little umbrella and a pair of her gardening gloves. Even in that aw ul moment 1 remember the sense of contrast and incongruity struck me almost as forcibly as the presence of the boots themselves, and they astonished and alarmed me as much as the sight of the famous tootpnnts did Robinson Crusoe, and for precisely the same reason.

The vague observation “any fine day,” or the more evasive phrase “some tine day,” used ! in complimentary invitations, are then } very dangerous lor us to employ, for we are taken at our word, just as though we meant it.

instinct was on this occasion mine. I pictured tomvself (and as it turned out. correctly) a monster more than six feet high, broad in the shoulders, heavy in the jowl, with lejrs like stone bahts trades, and hands, but too often clenched, of the size of pumpkins. The vestibule led into the pantry, where no doubt this giant, with his one idea, or half a one, would conclude the chief tmrl of our plate to be, whereas it was lying—unless he had already taken it; a terrible thought that flashed through my m nd, followed by a cluster of others, like a comet with its tail- under
our bed.
Of course l could have gone to the pantry at once, but 1 felt averse to be precipitate; perhaps (upon finding nothing to steal) this poor wretch
remorse for wha* he had
done and go away. It would be a wicked thing to deprive him of the opportunity of repentance. Moreover, it struck me that he might not be a theif after all, but only a cousin (cons denbly “removed”) of one of the ma d servants. It would have been very wrong of her to let him into the house at such an hour, but it was just possible that she had done so. anil that he was at that moment supping in the kitchen upon certain cold grouse which I knew were in the larder. Such a state of things. I repeat, would have been reprehensible, but i mostsincerL hoped that it had occured. A clandestine attachment, however misplaced, is better than burglarv with possible violence.
he looked
wicked, I felt grateful to him for going so peaceably, and was moved to com-
passion.
“Were von really in want, that you came here?” I said. “Are you hun-
gry?”
“Not now,” he answered, with a
leer.
Of course he was intimating that he had supped at my expense, and at the time I thought it frank of him to acknowledge it. If 1 had known then, as 1 learnt afterward, that he had eaten a grouse and a half, and the whole contents of a large jar of Devonshire cream which we had just received as a present, I should have thought Imere impudence. 1 did think it rather impudent when he said, as he stood at the front door, which I had opened for his
exit:
“Won’t you give me half-a-crown, sir, to put me in an honest way of business?” But, nevertheless, thinking it better to part good friends, I gave him what he asked for. He spit upon the coin “ or luck.” as he wasgooil enough to explain, and also, perhaps, as a siiostitute for thanks, since he omitted to give me any, and slouched down the gravel sweep and out of the gate. It was three o’clock; the mist had began to clear, and the moon and stars
were shining,
gan to
that operation accomplished by my burglar; for the second time saw him walk off, though on this occasion a captive to his mourned companion. 1 did not wish, as the judges say when they put on the black cap, to add poignancy to the feelings of this unhappy man (he was on ticket-of-leave, and presently got five years’ penal ser-
vitude), but I could not help saving: “1 think you ought to have been
content with your supper and halfcrown, and not come here again, at all
events, in search of plunder.” This argument had no sort of weight
with him, gratitude was unknown to that savage breast. Like many more i civilized individuals, he attributed his |
misfortunes to his own virtue.
“No, sir, it ain’t that,” he answered, j scornfully. “I’m the wictim of Perse-1
verance.”—Belgravia. Eating Too Mach.
Ten poisons die prematurely of too much food where one dies of too much I drink. Thousands eat themselves into ! fever, bowel diseases, dyspepaialthroat affections, and other maladies. Some years ago, the residents of a German city were one morning wild with excitement. Everybody was poisoned. The doctors were flying in every direction. Water was the only thing the, had swallowed in common. The reservoir was examined. In one corner a paper of poison was found. The stomach is the reservoir which supplies the whole body. A fever, an in animation or some other malady appears. There you will find the source
of the disease.
I am acquainted with the table hah-, its ot a large number of persons. They have all eaten too much food. Nearly all, too much in quantity, but all have eaten food too highly concentrated. Yesterday I saw a dyspeptic friend eating pears at a fruit stand. He said with a smile “I go a tew Bartletts half a dozen times a day.” Certain dietetic reformers seem to thing if they eat coarse bread and ripe fruits, a peek is all right. Fine flour bread, pies and
cakes are great evils.

If so, he had gone without his highlows. for there they stood on the vestibule table as large as life, and, trom the necessity of tre case, a size or two larger. Their build and hulk, indeed impressed me more than ever. Was it possible that only one burglar had come in those
boots?
I entered the kitchen not a mouse was stirring; on the other hand, there was a legion of black beetles, who scuttled away in all dir< ctions except one. They avoided the dresser—beneath which lay the gentleman I was looking for, curled up in a space much too small for him. but atleeting to bo asleep. Indeed, though previously I had not even heard him breathe, no sooner did th“ light from my candle fall upon him than he began to snore stentorionsly. I felt at on e that this

“More than an hour, of the question vou can
And beside, 1 really think he is repentanr, and means for the future to lead

" You do, do you?” said the patrol, in that sort of compassionate tone of voice in which the visitor of a lunatic asylum addresses an inmate warranted harmless. “Well, as 1 am here. I'll just go over the house and make sure there is no more of them. It is not impossible, you see. he may have lett a

“There was only one pair of boots,” ! said I confidently; “of that 1 am cer-

Nevertheless, as I felt it would be a satisfaction to mv wife, I acceded to his request. He tied his horse to the scraper, and came in with his lantern, and looked about him. There was nobody in the front ball, of course, 'or 1 had just come through it; In the draw-ing-room nobody, iu the vestibule nobody but ou the tabic where they had stood before stood a pair of gigantic

If the leaves be used in a dry state they read ly absorb the liqn ds ot the barn, which arc very rich in nitrogen: this with the elements wlrch leaves already contain in large quantities, makes what is termed a complete manure, namely, phosphate, potash, lime and nitrogen. If the leaves be applied to the land in the state they are when gathered from under the trees, the phosphate and ^ potash are not immediately available for plant tood, but it re- , quires considerable ti no to change by a natural process, so as to be soluble in i water, which tnoy must, before they become plant food; but when soaked in the liquids of the cattle, a change taxes place, in the form of decomposition, and thus the rich fertilizing materials of the leaves, which only retarded the growth of vegetation by | surface application, are cuanged to a form to readily enter tho roots of plants

ic, to rob the wood-land of the leaves which nature is storing up to enrich the soil in the course of time, it is good policy to gather leaves around the buildings, lawns, and under or by tho side of fences This should bo done as soon as the cold weather takes them from the trees: always doing it in dry weather, so the leaves wfll be dry, and care should be taken to store them where they will be kept drv during the winter: this is important, for wet loaves not only make poor bedding for cattle to lie on in cold weather, but they fail to absorb the liquids, and so are not changed into plant food, as they would, if dry. — Alusstii husclts Ploughman.
