Mrs. Mallandaine stands in the varan da receiving her guests. She is a tall, grave-eyed woman, tempered but not Bonred by her twenty years of colonial life; self-possessed and ready-witted she i, tnfc never sharp or quick in speech or judgment. She is supremely indiffer ent to all the luxuries she has learned to do without, although now she has them in plenty; with an ever-deepening sense of the inaignificanoe' Of outward things, and . the transitorines9 of all merely earthly conditions, which makes her seem to be constantly looking above every question, and' deciding it from a higher standpoint than ethers. ' Standing to welcome her guests, she looks, this summer day, a very comely gentlewoman, Jn her . soft, pearly cash mere shawl and lace cap; and Molly, looking as her mother must have looked in her girlhood, flashes hither and thither with cups of coffee and piles of dainty cakes, and a jest and a smile for all. - The rustle of freshly-starched skirts, the waving of ribbons and feathers, the babple of voices, varied by an occasional roar from an aggrieved baby, become confusing; and I am glad when the word is given for the serious business of the day to commence, end the - company move off in the direction of the orchard. 'Now, Mr. Campion, I expect you to look after my baby for me,' said little Mrs. Aubrey,- fastening on my arm, with a merry smile in her dark eyes which no poverty has been able to quench. Who, to look at her, slim, graceful, becoming ly dressed, would guess at the drudgery of her daily life, or the shifts she has recourse to to find bread and batter for the six little ones at home ? But Mrs. Mallandaine knows the secrets of that household, as of many others, and her eyes notice how thin the little woman has become, and how the lines are deep ening round eye and mouth. 'I've got a snug corner for baby on the sofa,' she says, taking the little bun- die into her kind arms. 'Hugh shall pick for you to- day, while you come and nave a quiet, chat with ,me in the cool drawing-reom. I want to consult you about the girls' autumn dresses, and to ehow you some beautiful serge I have j ust had sent me from home. There is far more than we shall use, and I thought we might cut ont some little frocks for your twins, if you like the color. Come and look at it, my dear. while baby b quiet. from my percli amoatg the reoognizp, once more, how Molly -has given her heart, without reserve, to this man. And Meredy th ? Ho loves-her, too, unless I am much mistaken; and yet to me, watching him with the jeal ous eyes of a young and very ardent rival, there is .something strange, in his bearing toward Molly. Sometimes, for weeks, he will not attempt to see her; then he will spend a whole dav at her side, as if unable to tear himself away. x am certain be tried to avoid her just now, and yet now sjie has spoken to him and given him one of her wistfnl looks, he stands looking down into her eyes, and talking in that low melancholy voice of his, as if he wanted to absorb her whole attention.' By-and-by they stroll off to another tree with one of Mrs. Aubrey's unfilled baskets, and I feel as it the beauty of the day had suddenly clouded over, and the pretty idyllic scene beneath me had formed into veriest prose. Grumbling and castle-building by turns, I fill the basket to the brim, and then betake my- sen co a rustio seat close by to have a smoke. To enjoy my well-earned pipe more thoroughly, I lie down full length, the overhanging boughs of a fuchsia hide me from the public eye, and I drop off presently into a consolatory nap. When I wake again, all the gay com pany seem to have melted away; only Jack and little Daisy Harper are tug ging at a kit which they have overfilled, and which will not go through the gate. Close by me I" hear Molly speaking : Hugh must have gone in, I suppose; I can't see him anywhere. Isn't he a dear, good fellow, Mr. Meredyth Y - , 'Molly says .Meredyth, in - a voice which he is evidently struggling to keep calm and ue excited, I wonder if you would understand if I told you some thing something which is a cruel weight on me day and night, and yet 1 never thought much about it until lately. Sometimes I think I must tell you, and then, at other times, I think I would die first. It is then I stay away from Baarcroft for so long; and yet I always come back with the same insane long ing to speak.' 'Molly,' cries Jack, running . back, 'mother has sent me to look for you. It is time to see about supper, she says, and she cau't find Sib anywhere.' Coming, Jack, answers Molly, in a voice that will tremble a little; and Mere dith's chance is gone for the present. . 'Clearly he was on the point of pro posing,' l say, crossly, to myself, as I yawn and stretch my arms, 'and I'm 'Hugh, says Molly, coming up, ae you going to pick for Mrs. Aubrey 7- So will I; I like picking for her, for I know how the little ones enjoy the jam and jelly she makes so well. Jack, run and help Miss Crawley with that heavy tub, and mind,' you find her the finest peaches; that's a good boy !' . Molly and I pass through the gate with Mrs. Aubrey's great basket swing ing between us. and look round for a tree where shall we begin ? .'This will do, I think," says Molly, coming to a stand-still under a giant whose spreading branches are weighted with downy fruit; 'but while you begin I must go round and see if every one is suited.' I begin as ordered, but soon leave off to look down on the scene. At last Molly flits back to my tree. 'Hugh I only three peaches 1 What have you been doing up there all this time?' 'Dreaming, Molly; you can't think what a quaint picture the orchard makes from this branch. Bat I'll pick in earnest, now you are' here to wake me up. Halloal here's Meredyth 1' Molly will not look up, but I catch the sudden flush which tinges even her round white throat at his name. Mere dyth looks out of spirits and care-worn, I fancy; be pauses at the gate to take a prolonged survey, hesitates, and has al- very thankful Jack interrupted, for I've no wish to hear him go through his declaration. , Bather' an odd way of be ginning, though,' I decide, and then I jump the fence, and by a short cnt through the shrubbery arrive at the veranda five minutes before they appear in Sight. ' ' -f'':"- Where is Molly?' screams Sibyl, who is the first to catch sight of me as I mingle with the crowd of 'pickers' grouped round the veranda and the open drawing-room windows. 'There she is,' I answer, catching the wave of her white gown against the vivid scarlet blossoms of the rata which grows at the bend of the drive. 'Ah, yes, here she is,' echoes Mrs. Aubrey, as Molly, Geof Meredyth and Jack appear more fully in view. 'Now let us Who on earth is that?' - The exclamation, and the altered tone of Mrs Aubrey's voice, make all within ear-shot turn and look in the same di rection, and there is a momentary lull in the Babel of talk. 'Jack is a little in advance of his sister, and is deeply in terested, apparently, in -cutting a whis tle with his posket-knif e; but a few paces behind Meredyth is a woman whom none of U3 have obseived before. Her ap pearance is so strikingly unlike that of any of Mrs. Mallandaine's guests, and her evident concentration of interest and intention on the pair before her is so strange as to asconnt for Mra. Aubrey's exclamation of extreme surprise. She is a tall, powerful woman, of per haps five and forty, stout and broad shouldered; her fac9 is coarsely hand some; black eyes; strongly marked eye brows; a quantity of black hair untidily massed beneath her smart bonnet; her skin, originally, perhaps, a clear red and white, is now high colored and coarse. Her walk is slightly unsteady, but she is sober enough to have a purpose and to stick to it; and that purpose evidently is to follow Meredyth, csn whom her eyes are fixed with an expression of ma licious hatred. Xittle Mrs. Aubrev looks and then flashes a glance of intelligence at me. Some drunken tramp,' she said, care lessly, 'who has strayed off the road. She must not be allowed to startle aiony. Hugh, you and I will go and turn her out quietly.' Mrs. Aubrey deposits the baby on the veranda as she speaks, but we are too late, for as we step on to the gravel of the drive, Molly, by some evil chance, turns her head, stops, and then Mere dvth turns his too, with a half uttered word on bis lips, and with a smile which is meant for Molly; but it does not reach her; it freezes into a ghastly look of hor ror as he sees the woman behind him. Mv God ! have pity ' he mutters in a curious, naii-cnoKea voice, as ne re treats a few steps, his iac9 growing gray to the very lips. What is it ?' atks Molly, looking, be wildered, from one to the other. No need to trouble ycu, my pretty young lady,' says the stranger, in a high-pitched, unrefined voice; 'my busi ness is with the gentleman, and I needn't keep him five minutes not nve mm ntes.' she repeats, shifting her hard black eyes from one face to another of the group. Mrs. Aubrey links her arm in Molly's and tries to draw her toward the house. Oome, darling,' she says brightly, 'we will leave Mr. iviereayiu io bbswuh this person wants, while we go and settle about the riding party for next But Molly has caught a vague alarm from Meredyth's set face, and does not listen. 'What does this woman want?' nhm, sava. coiner close to hifl side and moet made up his mind to go over to old looking wistfully up in his face. 'Bena I seem to have known this for a-?e. and the sentence peema to repeat itself vgain and again in the dead silence which fol lows. 'His wife that all ! his wife !' Molly starts and utters a little moan, as if some one had suddenly struck her; Meredyth turns away his head and says not a word. Some of the people stroll ing about the garden are comic g toward us, attracted : by the sense that some thing unexpected is happening. 'Who is that woman V they are asking one an other, while we can hear Sibyl's fhrill treble asking, 'Why are Mrs. Aubrey and Molly standing about on the lawn, instead of coming to help mother with the supper t Do tell , them, somebody.' Meredyth!' I cry, hastily, shaking his arm to rouse his attenton, 'do you hear what this miserable creature is say ing about you? Contradict her, and Bend her off about her business.' . .- u cannot contradict ner no answers slowly, as if the words were wrung out of him against hia will;- she has spoken the truth. Yes,' he continues, raising his voice and addressing the people who are hurrying to the spot, 'that is my wife, friends. Look well at her, and listen to my story. Years ago, when I was a lad at Oxford, I was entrapped by her father and her brother and induced to marry her. I have no one to thank but myself for the misery of my life, although she is twelve years my senior. I was a foolish, weak, conceited boy, and walked readily into the trap laid for me. l believed her to be a good and pure woman, and I married her. When I found cut what she was I left her, and sailed within a week from England, but I mai'e over my whole small fortune to her on condition that I never saw her again. Oat here I have tried to begin a new and happier life; I have worked hard and lived peaceably among you let any man .say differently if be can; I have tried to redeem the one fatal error of my life, with but one wish, one prayer that I might never behold that cursed face again. Who believes that a man is bound, by one rash word, to such a woman as that t B afore Heaven I repudiate her 1' He flung up his arms, aa he said these words, with an inde scribable eesture of despair, and turn ing his back on us, walked rapidly toward the bush. He had spoken with such concentration of passion that we were all breathless and spell-bound, and for a long minute no one stirred. Then Molly turned to me and caught at my hand. 'Hugh I C3me with me, quick, to the Gum-tree Walk oh, Hugh, help me 1' There was no with standing ; her entreating eyes; the Gum tree Walk was a short-cut to the point for which Meredyth had made, and we should overtake him before he turned into the main road. Had I been older I might have questioned the prudence of Buch a step on my cousin's part; but I was ninoteen, and awfully sorry, I must confers, for Goo trey Meredyth; so I clasped Molly's cold fingers in mine, and while every one gathered round the loudly-discoursing stranger, we slipped into the shade of the gum-tree3 and ran swiftly to the lower end, where a road crossed ours. Meredyth was coming quickly along, with his head bent down, and till he reached the turn he did not see us; then, when he looked up and saw Molly his whole aspect changed. I suppose the reaction from seeing himself arraigned before a censuring crowd to reading his misery in the tender sorrow of Molly's eyes broke him down quite, for he turned aside and covered his face with his hands. Molly stepped up to him and took hiB hand between hers. 'Geoffrey, she said, earnestly, while the big tears rolled down her face 'dear Geoffrey, I wanted to tell you how I pity and how I love you. I am not afraid to tell you and Hugh hears me I lova you with my whole heart.' Her voics quivered, but the lovely, tender eyes still looked bravely up to his. I may never see you again, Geoffrey, but that will make no difference; and when you feel that you cm hope no longer, you must still take heart, remembering that one woman loves and prays for J0Jh Ah, Molly, I could bear no longer to listen to your clear tones, passing such a cruel sentence on your youth; I left the dark avenue, and went out along the creek until you called me back, and I found Meredyth gone. Molly looked in my face with a poor attempt at a smile, which made my heart ache, as she took my arm and we turned toward home. It was God's mercy that mado me think of the Gum-tree Walk,' she said, softly; for think of it, Hugh he was going to kill himself when we met him. Now he has promised, and I know he will keep his word.' I did not ask her what he had prom ised; the whole thing seemed to me too miserable to be talked about; I crmld only listen with fresh pain to Molly's quivering voice. 'He is going to Christchurch to-night. and then on to Melbourne he will write to father fully from there. He doesn't know yet where he will go then; but I have asked him once a year on New Year's Eve to write to me always to say where he is, whether he is well, and and content. It was a good thing I came to the Gum-tree Walk, Hugh.' What ta va f-t An nn 9 T ait mrea- ently, as we emerge on the lawn. We must try and get through the evening as it nothing had happened, answers Molly, wearily; 'it will be best to make no difference, for every one's sake.' I have been looking out for you, dear Molly,' cries little Mrs. Aubrey, com ing up to us, to tell you that that per son has been packed off at last. My husband got out our buggy, and, whether she liked it or no, we bustled her in, and he has driven her to Ben ton's station. Benton's wife will keep her there for a day or two, and then Tom was to ask her to send the creature on to Port Lyttleton. I thought that was the best thing to do with her. Of course everybody's chattering about all this, but they'll soon forget it. Sibyl and I hurried them in -doors to prepare for supper, and fortunately my precious baby swallowed a peacn-stone, ana mat eyes and voice. She managed bravely, too, till the last bugy hod driven off in the clear moonlight, and she came to say good-iiight to me. I caught a glimpse of a broken heart as she leaned on my shoulder for a moment, and whispered: Hugh! Hugh I how canl bear the long years to come ?' . But sorrow has been merciful to Mol ly Millandaine as to all who bring a stout heart to meet it; all the ten years which have slipped by since that mo mentous evening have found "her tvin tempered and cheerful. It is only the night before the new year that she grows restless and troubled, Sibyl and I have noticed; and when we bring our chil dren to Bearcrof t to spend Christmas she never takes them to play In the Gam-tree Walk; she says the trees are gloomy, and she docs not like to see the little ones under them . A wasted youth, some would say; but Molly does not think to, as year by year her letter comes, bringing tidings of the life she rescued from despair. Is White Ice impart! Much of the prejudlos that exists against white ice is based on a want of froper discrimination betveen ice that s simply white and ioe that is dirty and discolored. Professor Tytdall lays it down as a principle that t hiteness al ways results from the intknate and ir regular mixture of air with a trans pa -rent solid. and illustrates it by referring to ground glass, table salt and other articles, which become wble when the masses of glass in the one hstance, ind of salt in the other, are severed and air admitted. Of course the slt is just aa free from impurities in the opaque form of flue white powder as in the transpa rent form cf saltpoter. It has simply ceased to be transparent, and it is by the operation of the same nttnral law of light that clear, hmpid wateroften makes white ice. The color of ito thus de pending on the expulsion of the air from the water during crystallization, it follows : First, that when the weather la intensely cold and the atmwphere fa vorable to abundant nocturnal radiation, the ioe formed on still water or alufgiah streams, containing more than the aver age amount or air, is apt to be whiter than uiual ; and second, that tie ice thus formed is not the less pure because it is white, as its color is due to the presence of atmospheric air, which was not ex pelled in the act of freezing This sir is the same that we breathe and that all pure water is known to eontiin. White ness in ice being thus rathtr an index of purity than otherwise, the only re maining question is whether white ice is as valuable as the transparent prod act in an economical point of view ? And on this point scientist are very emphatio in saying that it is preferable, at least for some purposes. Tyndall tells us that he found among the glaciers of the Alps ridges of this white ice, and that they invariably stood three or four feet above the general level of the blue ice. The difference in their hfrigbt, aa compared with the latter. La ascribed to their greater power of resistance to the sun's rays, which are the only melting Influ ence to which they are anbpetin those regions of eternal frost. In this infer ence he is supported by many practical experiments not cox fined to scientists, and showing that white ice exposed to the sun's rays will last longer than tranaparent, bulk for bulk and weight for weight, Thus it appears that its color does not detract from, but rather adda to its commercial value. " A SafxrtUtioa SolTf4. A strange story comes from Ht. Fran cis county, Arkansas. In the St. Frma Cis river bottoms there lives a man named George IL To ban. With him lire a wife and a thirteen year old son. The family has resided in a quiet way, so far as any one knows, until recently. One morn ing, jait after the yellow fever excite ment began to spread over the country. Mr. Tobau, upon opening the door, found a card lying on the doorstep. Oa the cinl'tM written the words, yellow fe ver. Very little attention was paid to the matter, tut when again and again, similar cards were found, Mr. Toban be came concerned, and not being - as clear of superstition aa might be, regarded the cards as ominous, and as a 'warning of an approach cf the terrible disease. Ev ery night he would read gloomy reports from Memphis, and every morning found the card, yellow fever Finally, he de termined to watch and satisfy himself, and on the doorstep remained aQ night. No one. appeared, tut when the dark ness was dispelled by the streaks cf day light, he taw a card lying on the step beside him. Catching it up and exam ining it, he saw the words yellow fever written in exactly the same hand that had marked the cards before. Then there was indeed anxiety in the family. The fever reports grew gloomier, and the family settled into the belief that Providence, by a handwriting on cards had advised flight. The husband did not know what to do, the wife was fright ened into a terror that trembled at every sound as though yellow fever walked with noiay footsteps, and the son was al most dumb and sometime deaf with fright. It was at last decided that vaca tion of the place would be necessary. Bat a change came, and the myaterv. like mist, cleared up. On the night be fore the proposed departure, the hus band, unable to sleep, sat on the bed side, almost terrified and weak with dread. Suddenly the door of the room opened, and bis son, in 'night attire, stood in the room. The father, in fluenced by a sudden feeling, did not speak. The boy advanced to the mantel-piece; took down a pencil, went to the little table," took out a card, leaned over, wrote something oa it, and then advancing to the door, slipped it under. The father watched bnatbleaaly, and when the boy started to leave the mom the man caught him. Xbe boy strag gled, gasred. and awoke. He did not know, nor could be understand, why he stood there graiped by his father. The wife sprang ont of bed. A few words explained all, and when the door was opened, there was the card bearing the words yellow fever.' The young man in his early youth had exhibited signs of somnambulism, and reading everyday the yellow fiver report to the family no donui lnnnencea mi tion. 15 HISTOBICBUILDISG. C ta that ArriTal of the Largwit Sea-Cow Ever was Canght. The largest Mexioin manatee ever ex hibited in this country, and cne of the largest ever seen by those familiar with the habits of this gigantic cetacean, ar river from Florida, where he was cap tured in the St.' Luoie riv;r some four months ago. From the tip of his nose to the end of hia tail, which is similar externally to the tail of a fish, the ani mal measures twelve feet, being fire feet longer than the averaze of the mature manatee in its native waters. The weight of this huge sea monster is about 3,000 pounds, and his breadth across the shoulders is three feet. A male, and the largest one ever captured, the Blyp man brothers who are the hsppy pro prietors of the find had no easy task before them to bring their captive home mm a r wry alter tney naa securea mm. xuej finally hit upon the expedient of bind ing him securely between two heavy oaken planks, in which situation they managed to prevent him from upsetting the boat. He was afterward transferred to a large tank. The manatee is so rare as to be an object of interest to those well-versed in natural history, and there are few comparative anat-miata, proba bly, who can describe its anatomical structure. Externally a cetacean, it is internally allied to the rodent, and has the powerful snout cf that order, tut it feeds on algss and fungi, and has the long intestine of all vegetable eaters. This specimen will be taken to the Roy al aquarium at Westminster for exhibi tion, and then to Franca. It is vilaed at $10,030. ITheat Culture la Ue Sooth. Toe Micon Tclrgraph announces that for the first time in the history of Georgia the local mills find wheat in u indent abundance to run them without drawing supplies of wheat from the North. There are undoubtedly parts of Central Georgia where wheat can be grown to perfection, for there the soil U a stuff clay-loam and ia nca in the ele ments that wheat requires. Bat even upon the sandy soils cf that State it ap pears that good wheat crops can be raised by the application of fertiliaera, and if care be taken in ihs tillage. It seems to be a remarkable thing that is such soils wheat ihould be grown, as the Te'ejroph state, aa far south in Georgia aa the Florida line. This ruo cesa baa been achieved by the use of the drill. Nor is it only in Georgia that the cultivation of wheat ia extending. Is Northwestern Scuta Cirolina the Gar mans have demonstrated that excellent crops of both wheat and rye can be raised by deep drilling and manuring with the waste of the barnyard com posted with muck and plno shatters. The seed is drilled in bunches, the drills being snficiently wide apart to admit of running a narrow cultivator be tween. After a while the wheat tillers and covers the whole ground. Three crop of rye for forage are cut there by the Germans in one aeaaon.
