Christian Leader. TOM. Mrs. Hanker and her daughter sat in the little parlor behind the shop taking tea. It. was a frosty winter night, and the brown teapot was kept on the back of the stove that it might not chill. So was the pan of sausages, which tasted ail. the more crisp and savory in conse quence. The door between the store and room stood open that anyjjhance customer might be seen at ence by the tea-drinkers, but the bell had not jingled since they took their seats. " Trade is dreadful,Emma Jane," said Mrs. Hacker, dipping (her bread into the sausnge pan and transferring it to hfr. plate by means of the long cooking fork- "Trade is dreadful! I should jast give up if it got a little worse; but, dear me, Ij never had any luck in any thing.' There's, Mr. 2fmneverputting pb:te glass whole . panes into his wiadows, and beginning to talk of suits ; and my things hang on my hands though I'm sure I make better selec tions than he knows how to. Another cup Emma Jane what a comfort tea is, to be sure." , " Tfcen give me a cup, won't you, Mrs. TTacker?" said a voice behind, them. '"I want comfort, I'm sure. Here's grandma gone out and forgot to leave the key, and nothing for me to do but to sit on the stairs and cool my heels." "iThomas! la I how you scared me coming in so sudden'." screamed Emma Jane. Sit down, do," said Mrs. Hacker. Take your seat here, Tom, and have your supper with us. Your grandma stopped to tell me she wouldn't be back until late, and the, key is in the money drawer." About all there is there, too," said Emma Jane, with a pout; and I want a new winter bonnet." "Look here, Mrs. Hacker," said the voung man, slowly turning himself toward the old lady. Look here, ma'am; here's some one ready and will ing to buy that winter bonnet, and all the other bonnets Emma J ane will ever want. We've been'engaged a year now, and at last I've got to be foreman in the fa5torv. Why should we put it off any nncrar? Tpll Kmraa.Tane that it's all nonsense. She won't isten to me." Well, I don't think long engage ments are best." said Mrs. Hacker. "What I should say to Emma Jane would be, 'Have him row.'" . " Oh , well ! I suppose I shalL be both ered until I do say yes," replied Emma Jane ; and then tjhe anxious lover, plead ing his cause earnestly, the wedding day was actually set for Christmas - eve, which was at that time about a month off. !'"''.. This conversation, as well as the even ing meal, being over Mrs. Hacker dis creetly retired to the shop and left the lovers alone. However, she did not stay away long. In a few moments she came running in with her glasses on her nose, and an . open letter in her hand, t "Read this, one : of you," she said. "I've read it, but I can't believe I un derstand it. It seems as though I must be crazy. Here, you read it Thomas : I have more confidence in you." Then she put the letter into Thomas Hunt's hand and ,. sat down at the table." -; ; "I found it on the floor," said she. "The postman must have thrown it in at the slit. I don't know whether it's a hoax or not, but its got a regular stamp w V 11 TVTtt iroriAiia ' flow CtYlGGT I on, an lAJ.lt ALA. J fc. MV1VM) ww feel." Meanwhile Thomas Hunt solemnly placed the sheet of. paper before him, read it through, and turned back to the first line. : 1 "It isn't -a hoax," said he. Mt's a regular lawyer's letter, and what it tells you is that your old uncle, Samuel Hacker, of London, England, is dead, and you are his heiress to j the tune o $100,000. It's down in pounds, but that's the sum in our money." j f Pinch me! Emma Jane,'' cried Mrs. Hacker. " I mean it, dear ; and if don't wake up, I'll think it's true." Oh, pshaw, ma! It's -true enough," cried Emma Jane. ' How splendid When are we to have the money? Oh, isn't it just lovely?" j . But Thomas gave a little sigh. ( "Mrs. Hacker," he said, fmaybe you think a mechanic not rich enough or fine en6ugh for your daughter, now you are as well off as that. If so, say so out and out, and I'll bear it as well as I can." Why, Thomas, if I was a queen, I'd think you a good son-in-lawy' said Mrs. Hacker. VAnd you, Emma?" said Thomas. V I shall wait until I get my diamonds onjbefore I take airs," said his lady love. Nevertheless the fortune made change in the programme. It was neces sary for Mrs. Hacker to go to England, and Emma Jane must go with her, she said ; and, on the whole, it seemed best to postpone the wedding fori awhile. f It wouldn't be respectful to Uncle Simon to marry immediately," said the mother. So Thomas hid the unhappiness of ! : ! ' ! . seeing his lady-love leave the shores of her native land, and went back to his shop with a very heavy heart. However, he worked hard, and many letters comforted him; and at last his Emma Jane returned gorgeous in the last London fashions; and there was all the bustle of buying a new home, fur- msmng it, anu taking possession ox it l ii. j -s r t and very little time for the lovers to be together. X "You see," said Mr3. Hacker to Thomag Hunt, " you see Emma Jane is alljstirred up. She'll settle down after awhile; but young people will be young people, you know." j At home Thomas got less comfort. i Emma Jane feels her money ; she shows it," said Grandmother Hunt. he servants stare too much. Sarah J ane isn't much to d epend on. You'll find that out, Thomas." i And poor Thomas did find it out. "jYou see, Tom," said Emma, one . day, twirling the cheap ring he had given her softly about on her finger "You see, Tom, somehow I'd rather i not be married for a long while. I don't want you to be angry with me; but I never was a rich girl before and it's so nice. I get so much attention. I don't want to settle down as an old married woman yet." . 'j I'll wait, Emma," replied Tom. "Ah, but but you see it might be no use," said Emma. " Perhaps I never may want to marry ; and if you don't mind taking back the ring, why we can befriends all the same." j j j. .f Can we?" said Tom, in a strange tone. " Well, I shall never be your enemy." H And he put the ring into his vest pocket ; but he did not trouble the servant to open the door of the big house again. 1 " What ails Tom, Emma Jane," asked Mrs. Hacker. "Why don't he come here any moreP" ij" ! " It's just as well he shouldn't," an swered the girl; "ana if you could only drop the Jane, ma ; I hate it so." "You didn't use to hate you poor grandma's name,"(said Mrs. Hacker; "ljut money has spoiled you, Emma Jane, if ever it spoiled a woman." j 1 Don't be cross, ma," coaxed Emma " Tom is very well, but he is common ; and you know how elegant young Mr. Vreeland is, and and he pays me a great deal of attention, ma." 4Ah, that's it," sighed old Mrs. Hacker. " He's cut Thomas Hunt out. You've jilted the poor boy." ; And now Vreeland came often to see Emma Jane, was her escort everywhere, drbve her out, walked with her, sang sentimental songs with his eyes fixed on her face, and all that might be done to show " what his intentions were." And a (year from the day on which Mrs. Hacker took possession of her new house, shje was not surprised by hearing that Mr. Vreeland desired to see her alone. J Yes, I'll go to see him, my dear," said Mrs. Hacker, putting on her best cajp at the glass ; " but I can't help think ing of poor Tom." Mr. Vreeland sat in the parlor in ex actly the proper attitude, jwearing the proper dress, and properlv; excited no more. He informed the old lady that he had lost his heart to her daughter, and that as he believed he had found favor in that young lady's eyes, desired to have permission to set the wedding-day. And Mrs. Hacker listened calmly, and answered thus: M j f Mr. Vreeland, I think you are what they call a good match for Emma Jane, and I've nothing against you. It shall be as she chooses. Only it's but fair to tell you this. You must take her for herself, for in a week's time we shall leave this house, and I shall go back to my little shop. I've been 'speculating, and, well, you know how thing3 go sometimes." j "Yes, I know," replied young Vree land. He turned as pale as death as he spoke, and I sat looking down at the carpet. - ' . l After awhile he said: "Accept my condolences," and and bowed himself out of the door. arose front An hour afterrwad Emma Jane, to whom her mother, had told the same story of speculation and loss, received a note, which the Vreelands' black ser vant had brought to the door. It ran thus: " My Dakmng Emma: You know I adore and must adore you forever; but my nabits are extravagant. My iatner, like your mother, has entered into dis astrous speculations, and I will not bind you to a marriage which could result in notmng out misery. x ours ever, iiv deep despair. Reginald Veeeland." Ah, it was all like a dream to Emma. They went back to the old house, and the shop was opened again. The j dirty boxes were brushed, the counter J oiled, the pins and buttons, and striped blue elastic, and boxes of cheap thimbles, and the card-board mottoes stamped for working insilk, graced the glass case once more, j The same limited number of cus tomers dropped in, and Emma served behind the counter, and washed dishes in the back room. She was very, yery wretched, and life looked dark indeed to her. . . :' j--;-' : ' .. j Old Mrs. Hunt and Thomas still lived . w ! - on tne upper noor. xne old grand mother told Mrs. Hacker that Tom was beginning to like Fannie Earle, the hair-dresser's pretty daughter! Sometimes Tom would pass the win dow, but he never looked toward it. Emma used to sit behind the counter thinking of him. What a lover she had had, and she had cast him away I for a ortune-hunter. Her verdict was that she deserved punishment, and she was very sad and very meek. j. She expected nothing now but to die an old maid, living behind that little shoo oonntcl". and evei? baving witiy ad -miration: orattentlon again: - In this mood she sat beside her mothe - one winter evening. ne table was spread with the thick stone china ; ..the brown teapot and the pan of sausage hissed on. the stove. The door stood open between the shop and the parlor. All that had happened since might have been d dream, and.it might have been the same night, a year before, when the etter had come to them which had made such changes, and Emma had even poured out the second cup of tea for her mother, when the door into the hall creaked, and looking up, she saw Tom, big and brown as ever, with such a look in his eyes. But it could not be for her; she did not deserve it. And Emma dropped her head upon her hands and burst into tears. " 1 Then she felt Tom kneel down beside her and put his arm around her waist. " Look at me, Emma," he whispered. T .rrr of m a w tt A oav T nonnnf Vtao w it any more. I never can help loving you, and for all that's come and gone, I believe you do love me a little." Then Emma lound courage to put her hands upon his shoulders and whisper : " Oh, Tom, I believe I do." : '("' They were married in a very little while, and it was only after the wedding that old Mrs.. Hacker, with a very solemn face, informed them that she had a confession to make. "I haven't lost my money at all, my dears," she said. " I'm half afraid of it, for it seemed to bring unhappiness with it. . Yet still it is comfortable to be rich. And now you are married to an honest man, that chose you when you were poor, my dear, we might as well ( make the most of it, and all go over together Granny Hunt and all to the big house the servants are keeping for us, thinking we're off on a journey. I shall jnever blame myself, and I don't think any of you will blame me, either." ; Tom looked at Emma, but she! only threw her arms about his neck and hid her face in his bosom and said : I j "The money cannot make me happier than I am, Tom." j And even Grandmother Hunt clared : ' j ', ,;; j .; j" any de- "The house don't seem too fine: now, for there's love in it, and I to me truth in it, and my Tom is as 'happy as the day."

Preserving Timber In In speaking of the Gronnd, well-known methods of preserving posts and wood which are partly imbedded in the earth by charring and coating with tar, it is said; these methods are only effective when both are applied. Should the poles be only charred without the subsequent treatment with tar, the charcoal forma tion on the surface would only act as an absorber of the moisture, and, if any thing, only hasten the decay. By ap plying a coating of tarithout previ ously charring, thetar would only form a casing about the wood, nor would it penetrate tothe depth which the ab sorbing properties of the charcoal sur face would insure. Woodj that is ex posed to the action of water or let into the ground should first be charred,! and then, before it is entirely cooled, be treated with tar till the wood is thor oughly impregnated. The acetic acid and oils contained in the tar are evapo rated by the heat, and only the resin left behind, which penetrates the pores of the wood and forms an air-tight and waterproof envelope. It is important to impregnate Jthe poles a j little above the line of exposure, for here it is that the action of decay affects the wood first, and where the break always occurs when removed from the earth or strained n testing. Forests and the Atmoiphere. The Gardener's Chronicle says: From concurrent thermometric observations made in forests and away from them, at 1.40 and at fourteen meters above the ground level, Mr. Fautrat arrives at the following conclusions : In consequence of the differences of temperature which are observed underneath foliage and above the summits of trees, 'a current of air from below upward is established in forests ; and also i lateral currents around woods from the foliage toward the open space beyond. These currents cause a healthy breeze in hot weather. The ascending current carries off above the forests the vapors from the soil, puts tfete latter- in communication "rith tne eioy d.nd iUls the , oia.ce of & ligUtning gdjiciorf and' it is to this, no doubt, that forests owe their remarkable prop erty of keeping hails-torms at a distance. Fee dins Horses More horses are annually killed or in jured by over-feeding and by injudicious feeding than by starving or most other. causes. In horses we can detect as many different temperaments and dis positions as in ' man, though but few horse owners take this fact into consid eration in the management of their horses, particularly in that part of it relating to food and feeding Some horses aire naturally gluttons, and they must be v seen to carefully, or they will at times be apt to seriously injure them selves by feeding too fast, while much of the food they consume will pass throUeh them undigested, for the simple reason that it is swallowed before properly masticated. We it has been like ! to see what is termed a "good feeder" (one who does not mince or picK his food) ; but then we are not at all partial to a ravenous one- Sucn a norse as tne lat ter named will dive into his feed with mouth wide open, and invariably take more at a mouthful than he can either hold in his mouth or properly masti cate. There axe several ways to fix such fellows, one way being to mix some fine hay with his oats; while moistening the oats, or feeding cut food, prevents him pandering to his greedy propensity. A horse with, a delicate appetite is usually a tender. delicate animal, and not at all desirable. The trouble with most persons who keep horses, no matter whether on farm for farm work or for driving pur poses, is they feed too much hay ; and to this cause can be attributed the gen eral sluggishness often manifested by the horses until they have worked a couple of hours, while the wind is also much impaired. Night is the only time when hay should be fed, espec'ally to animals used for quick work. Even the snow-plow team should have but little hay at the morning and noon feeds ; but give them a generous supply at th evening meal, isy doing tnis your horse will keep in better spirits and con dition, free from any tendency to " pot belly," which horsemen so dislike to see. : ' Recipes, i ' j- j.

Most of our readers have heard of, and many may have seen, Banvard'a great ' ' Panorama of the Mississippi " It is said that the author of this im irense work 'conceived its idea and de termined on its execution when he was a;i mere boy, during a trip across the "Mississippi in a row-boat at sunset. The story of his after-life is a record of singular persistency and success in car rying out a boyish dream. When his father died, John Banvard was left a poor, friendless lad, and ob tai ned employment with a druggist. But, so fond was he of sketching the likenesses of those about him on the walls with chalk or coal, that his master told hitn he made better likenesses than pills ; so poor John lost his situation. . He then tried other plans, and met with many disappointments. Finally he obtained enough money to begin his great work. He bought a small skiff, and set off alone on his perilous ad venture. 7 i fiei traveled thousands of miles, cross ing the Mississippi backwards and for wards to secure they best points for making his sketches. All day long.he went on sketching, and, when the sun was about to set,' he either shot wild fowl on the river, or, hauling the little boat ashore, went into the woods, with Txis rifle, to shoot game. f Alter oooking and. "eating 'nia supper. lie turned, nis Tboa ; orreaf on the ground, .and crept under it, rolling himself up in a blanket to sleep for the night, safe from the falling dews and prowling ani mals, i - Sometimes for weeks together he never spoke to a human being. In this manner he went on sketching for more than 400 days before the necessary arawings were finished, and then he set to work in good earnest to paint the picture. 1 , He had only made sketches in his wanderings. After these were completed "there were colors and canvas to be bought, and a large wooden building to be erected, for he determined to paint them on one piece of canvas, and thus make a panorama. When it was finished it covered three miles of canvas, and represented a range 'of scenery 3,000 miles in extent ; and that all this magnificent - work was exe cuted by a poor, fatherless, moneyless lad ought to make us ashamed of giving up any undertaking worth pursuing, merelv because it would, cost us some -1.

'A knight of the olden time In full armor was probably as safe from the ef fects of a thunder-storm as if he had a Hghtning-rod continually beside him ; and one of the Roman Emperors devised a perfectly-secure retreat in a thunder storm in the form of a subterranean vault of iron. ' He was probably led to this by thinking of a mode of keeping out missiles, having no notion that a tain shell of soft copper would have been quite as effective as massive iron. But" those Emperors who, as Suetonius tells us, wore laurel crowns' or seal-skin robes, or descended into underground caves or cellars on the appearance of a thunder-storm, were not protected at all. Even in France, where special at tention is paid to the protection of build ings from lightning, dangerous accidents 'Have Occurred where all proper precau tions seemed to have been taken. But obi . more careful examination it was usually found that some One essential element was wanting. .The most com mon danger seems to lie in fancying that a lightning-rod is necessarily prop erly connected with the earth if it dips into a mass of water.
