Elijah Crojy, my husband, wa owner iiu J caj tain of a coasting-vessel, doing a vootl trade; end we occupied an old fashioned and somewhat dreary house at Stepney. Elijah liked the place more than I did, and it was on his account that Ve stayed there bo long. I thought it could make very IfitU difference to him where ire lived, -for he was at home only two or three weeks out of every ten. I wa3 often alone two months at a time; and lonely enough it was sometimes. " Get some one whom you like to stay wllh you, my dear," the captain said, when I told him one day how unpleasant I felt to be alone so much. 11 Get any one yon please, and before long I hope 1 shall lo able to 6tay at home with you myself." 44 I took his advice, and after some in quiry I found a woman who I thought would suit me. Her name was Emily Saml3, and she was a pleasant-faced woman of about foity. She told ma tliat sh liad been left a widow, with no means, and had since earned her living by needle-work; and although X had in tended that the woman who .came, every morning to do my. housework should still come, I found Emily so handy so willing that I soon discontinued t . mm i services at tne otner. aixe was so amiable and so vivacious, that I was satisfied that I had done the best that I could do in the matter. 1 I hope so," he said, doubtfully. 44 And don't you think so ?" I asked. . "Well, no," he replied. 4i Now, I'd like to know why, Elijah. w 7Ir7 t I can t say that I do; I presume it is only a notion; but I have in some way conceived a kind of distrust of her face. I can't explain it, and you had better lkid not be prejudiced by it." 44 You may be very sure I shall not," I , rejoined, 44 if it has no more foundation than this.'.'. And this was all that was said between us on the subject. I was too well ac quainted with the captain's sudden whims to attach much importauca to this one. The captain remained at - home this time barely t wo weeks. On the inorn ipg that he left to take Ids vessel for another trip, just after he had taken up his hat to go, he called mq into the chamber and shut the door. 44 Here is something, Fanny," he said, 44 that I want you to keep safely for me till I come back." And he-took a paper package from his breast-pocket as he spoke. 44 There aro ten j fifty-pound notes in it live hundred pounds in all. I will lock it up here in this bureau drawer, and give you the key.'.' And he did so. 44 No one would think of c coming here for money." 44 Do you think you had 1 better leave it here, Elijah f " I asked. 44 Why not put it in the bank ?" j ,4Iraeant to, but I shall not have time. The money was only paid me last .night. But no matter, the money Will be safe where it is, and there will be no danger about it; or if you don't think so, 3'ou may deposit it yourself." My uneasineas increased a3 the day wore on ; and about three o'clock the same afternoon, I took the money and went to the bank, determined to deposit it. Ihe bank was closed; all the banks were closed, for it was Saturday tooK the package liome again, re placed it in the bureau-drawer, locked it, placed the key in my pocket, andre , solved that I would not worry any more about it. Emily called me to tea in a httle while, and though not hungry, I rent into the dining-room and sat with her while she drank her tea and laughed and chatted in her vivacious way. The evenings were rather lang, and Emily and I sat together in the dining room after the table was cleared, she reading aloud, and I listening, as was our custom. . When the clock struck ten she laid down her book; and I took my lamp, and bidding her good night, went tip to my room. My chamber occupied the, whole front of the second story, and Emily had a back room upon the same floor. A bell wireranfrom my room to hers, so that I cordd summon her at pleasure." I placed the lamp upon the bureau, shaded it, and retured and locked the door. Then I drew my easy chair to, the middlo'of the room, put on my slippers, and sat jJown for a few "minuUa before retiring. And immediately I became vexed at myself to find that I was look ing at the drawer that held the money, and that I was feeling in my pocket to see that the key was safe. The shade that I placed over the lamp confined its rays within a small circle, beyond , which j the bed, the furniture, the carpet, and j the wall paper were obscure. , In " ther j corner, to the right of the door, was an ; antique, high-backed chair, a favorite ; piece of furniture. As I turned my own : chair from' the bureau, my eyes rested on tins object; ana l saw by tne same ; glance that a human figure was sitting in it ! v I could not at first make out whether it was a man or woman; I only became conscious, as I sat in bewildering, dumb terror, that I was confronted by a stranger there in that semi-darkness by some one who had 'hidden in the room for some object. There I was .locked, up in axoom alouawith a ruffian waiting, trembling, and expecting to hear him speak, or to becenie the objec of some violence. For although, as I have said, I could not distinguish whether it was man or woman, I did net doubt that it was the former,, and one o the most . feyper&te of his kind. And presently, as my eyes fell to the floor, I saw a great pair ef boots thrust out upon the carp-t within the radius of the light, I" do jJ know how long we sat there in the semiAlarkness of the roem, facing each rifcher, but motionless and silent; ft mighf have been three minutes or thirty The thought of alarming Emily suddenly occurred to me, and I reached outaior the bell-cord. It should have beeft within easy reach of the spot where pat, but my hjjud failed to find it. A low chuckle came from the "occupant of the old chair. . mat was a clever tnougnt of you imim. -'7came forth: in a deep, rough . i - j m i ,fana-in a tone oi easy insolence. inougnt, marm; out bless your simple soul, do you think I was a-going to leave that 'ere cord there for you to make a noise with ? Not by no means. it 8 wen to be carciiti when you re in this kind of business, marm; and so when you left me alone here before dark T tllATt V-0 Tl rr linl-ai 4TtA -mrrrf OA i1 crawled out and took a survey of the I , J jjlace. 44 What do you want V I asked. lie chuckled again, and replied : 4 Now that's good; you're a business woman, marm; you come right to the point with out any nonsense. I'm going to tell you what I want. Be quiet, marm," he said. 44 1 don't mean to hurt you if I can help it. Keep still and I won't. Let's have a look at each other." He removed the shade and looked at inn for full half a minute, as I sat in the glare of the lamp. He was a large, brawny fellow, full six feet high,, and dressed in an old suit of fustian clothe3. His face was entirely concealed by a erape mask; not a feature of it could I see from his neck to the crown of his head. He leaned one arm upon the bureau, and regarded mo attentively. 44 You don't know me," he remarked, in an ordinary ! tone. - 'No, of course not; it is best for you that you shouldn't. I thought at first there avixs something iammar in your lace; out J. lancy was mistaken. Wellj to business, marm." And he assumed a sharp tone, and look ed carefully at the bureau. 44 I've got a pistol here, missus " and he slapped his pocket; 44 but you're . too sensible a wo'man, I take it to make me use it on you. I want, that money. There's five i hundred pound of it in tiiis drawer; you have the key give it to me 1" I handed it to him without a word. 44 I'll leave you now in a minute, missus," he said, rapidly inserting the key, turning it and opening the. drawer, 44 .with many thanks for your goo.d be havior. Is this it ?" - He took out the package, and held it up. . " 44 That is the money," I said. 44 She might deceive me, after all," I heard him mutter; and thrusting his forefinger into the end of the envelope, he ripped it open, and pulled the end of the notes out into sight. 44 Yes, here it is. Now" - ' He had thrust the package into his pocket, and was about to close the drawer, when his eye was caught by something within it. He started, thrnst his hand into the " drawer, and, taking out an object that I was well acquainted with, ba bent over and scrutinized it, holding it closer to the lamp. How I did wish that I could see the, expression of his face at that inoment ! , He held in his hand an ivory miniature of my husband's face, a faithful picture made by an artist years before, at my request. 44 Whose face is this ?" the robber de manded, in a voice that trembled with eagerness. 44 My husband's," I replied. 44 Your husband's ? Yes, yes but his name V 44 Elijah Croly." 44 Captain Croly?" he demanded, in the same tone. ' 44 Yes." 4 4 The same who commanded the bark Calvert, that used to run out of Liver pool?" - I nodded my head. I knew that the vessel named was the last one that my husband had sailed u the ocean before he bought his own coaster; in fact, it was the same in which I came to Eng lanjJ. v 44 And this is Captain's Croly 's money ? this is his house ? -you are his wife ?" he asked, rapidlv. eriviner me no time to answer his questions. 44 Yes, yes I see it all. Great heavens ! to think what I was just about to do!", . He dropped into the nearest chair, ap parently Jaint with emotion; but while I sat in deep surprise at the unexpected' turn that this affair had taken, he said : 44 You have no reason to fear now; I will not rob you; I will nor harm you. Only don't make a noise. Please open the door, and you will find Jane your woman, I mean waiting in the pas sage." " . - I obeyed. I did not know what else to do. I unlocked and opened the door; and there, to my astonishment, stood Emily Sands arrayed in her bonnet and shawl, with a bundle in her hand wait ing, I have no doubt, for a signal from within, bhe started rt n seeing me; but the man immediately called to her by the name of Jane telling her to come in. -j , ; ' She passed by me as she dfd so;and I whispered, 44 Oh, Emily, how could you betray me?" - She manifested no shame or sorrow, though I know she must have heard the whispered words; her. face was hard and unwomanly, and its expression was sul- len. And I could- not doubt that she had phiyed the ; spy upon my husband and myself, and had betrayed us to this- man. 44 I've a very few words to say to you, ma'am," said the man; and all the bold ness and insolence had gone put of his voice, leaving it gentle and sorrowful. 4 Just a few words to ask you to forgive us for what we meant to do, and to tell you what has happened to change? my mind so suddenly, and why wa can't rob you, as we .meant to ao. - He took the package from his pocket with the words, and tossed it into my lap. - 1 44 T at money belongs to the man that I love and honor more than any other on earth. I'm a .hard customer, ma'am; we live by dark ways and doings, Jane and I: and I wouldn't have believed when she let me in here to-day and hid me, that 1 could, leave tne house without that money; but if'I'd known whom it belonged to, I'd sooner have held out my right hand to be cut off than come here as I have, and for what I came. I used to be a sailor, and I was with Cap tain Croly in the Calveit. He was the very kindest and best master that ever handled a speaking trumpet, and there wasn't a man aboard the bark but loved him. une night on uatteras all nanus were sent aloft to reef in a heavy gale; and when they came down again I was 4 Where is he ?' the captain asked; but none of them knew, hadn't noticed me since we all Thev sprang into the shrouds together. 4 Overboard, I'm afraid,' said the mate; and the men all seemed fearful that I was lost. The captain hailed me through his speaking- trumpet; and there came back a faint, despairing cry, only just heard above the nping of the storm. Captain Croly never ordered any one else up; he cast off his coat, and threw down his trumpet, and went aloft before any one could get ahead of him. He found me hanging with one elbow over the foreyard, and just about ready to fall from weakness and pain: for my other arm was twisted out of joint at the elbow by a turn of the ropes. He caught me, and held me there till help came up from below, and then they carried me down. It wasl' Captain Croly that saved me from a grave in the sea; and I would have robbed him to night ! Forgive us, madam, if you can. We will leave you in peace. Come, Jane!" ' 44 Well,''' said Elijah, in his joking way, when he came home next after this eventful night, 44 you've not been mur dered for that money, I see. Where's .Emily? Has she run off with it ?" I handed him the package, merely re- marking thnt the woman had -unex- pectedly left me, for reasons which were best known to herself.. This was all the conversation that I had with him upon the subject; he never knew what ' I have now been telling. Perhaps I did wrong; but I was always reluctant to tell him all about it, and he died before I could make up my mind. But I never had any other secret from Elijah; and I be lieve I never had an adventure that made such an impression upon me as this did. J Steadiiiess of nerve is illustrated by the case of the man who can sit and hold skeins of eilk for his wife for a couple of 1 hours at a time without moving his legs. I AMPLEST AXI TEAKS. Maintaining Fertility in Orchards "si " -JIoiv it is Done. The question,' 4 4 How can the fertility of Jarge orchards be most economically d?" jWas discussed at a late meefir df the Western New York Hor- tinilturM"i Society;; Oliver, Chapin, of EasfIfTomfleid, plows xeach year; four inched; deepkvithout - cropping.

The land is plowed with out croppings, except buckwheat, which is turned under twice a year, the last. time very late in the fall. . Trees are kept smooth, and the larva of the cod- liner moth hides in the stems 'of ' buck wheat and is destroyed by late plowing. Bandages .are also around the trunks to catch the moth. Apples grow very fair and free from worms. Soil mostly sandy to sandy loam. " T President Barry remarked that' large orchards must have manure just the same a3 small .ones. Green crop3 are not sufficient. A farmer who plants 100 acres in orchard without knowing where to eret manure i3 as unwise as one who should buy 1,000 sheep with nothing to feed them.V . Farmers must grow or feed more stock. This is the natural mode of getting nianure, . and he believes ' the bes.t. He had known nurserymen to buy and feed sheep and cattle in winter solely for the manure. They thus re- ceived pay for feed and labor, and made the manure extra. ' Farmers can do likewise. He practices drawing fresh stable manure every third or fourth year, and applies as top-dressing in fall and early winter. . Using the. manure fresh, it goes much further, and a vry light application is sufficient. Pears should be manured with something lierhtly every autumn. Coal ashes are good for a top-dressing; wood ashe3 and lime are excellent. , The. great object is to keep the surface light. In applying stable manure to pear trees always use it sparingly in fall or early winter, and never plow under. In contact with the roots stable manure : may cause blight. Used as a top-dressing, there is .no dr.ngcr. Dr. Sylvester planted an apple orch ard 33 years ago. Sold la3t year 1,000 barrels from less than 10 acres. Don't believe in large quantities of stable ma nure. Applies mixture of much and gas-lime or muck and stable manure lightly as top-dressing every year. Does not wish to make a very vigorous growth of wood. We cannot afford to grow ap ple wood or pear wood, even at $100 a cord, He is content if he gets three inches growth of wood a year. That gives enough fruit, and the trees remain healthy. Changes his manure prescrip- tion each year. This year it is six parts muck to one of stable manure. ' Has 50 acres of muck on hi3 farm an inex haustible store of f ertility. W. B. Smith maintained that orchards on naturally good soil do not need much manure. Knows one which has produced well without manure 30 years. F. W. Lay made a hog yard of his orchard, and it incaeased in productiveness. Major H. T. Brooks, 20 years ago, planted an orchard on new land. It is still bearing finely.. Ten years since he fenced off one acre as a hog-yard, and trees where the hog droppings fell are twice the eiz 3 of the others. Lobby i it y as a Science. : Sam Ward, known in Washincrton as the- 44 Lobby King," testified before the Pacific Mail investigation committee that he received 590" dbwn and was to re ceive $5,000 more if the subsidy was se cured. In his remarks about the Wash ington lobby, Sam said : I could enter tain you with histories of well-concerted" plans which all disappeared just at the crack of one member s whip; perhaps matter of caprice. erhaps a matter of c - . . .. ascidentr-you cannot tell which; we who are of the regular- army juiqw wnen we are whipped but gentlemen ".of little ex perience come' down here and peer aAd peg on till the end of the session, and never understand -why they hail better go home- to introduce a bill properly, to have it referred to the proper committee to see that some member in' that com mittee understands its merits; to attend to it; to watch it; to have a counseHo go and advocate it before the committee ; to see that members' of the committee do not oversleep . themselves pn the morn ing of important meetings; to watch the coming in of r the bill in Congress, : day after day,week after week; to have your men on hand a dozen times, and to - have them as often disappointed; to have one of those storms which spring up in the Adriatic of Congress 'until your mien are worried and worn and tired,' and until they say to themselves that they will not go up to" the Capitol to-day, and then to have the bird suddenly brought to naught. These are some of the experi ences of the lobby. Another point the question of j enter tainmentsis spoken of. ; There is noth ing in the world so excellent as enter tainments of a refined order. Talleyrand says that diplomacy, is assisted by good dinners, but at good dinners people do not talk 44 shop," but they give people who have ;a taste that way the right, per haps to ask a gentleman a civil question and to get a civil answerto" get informa tion : which his clients want and that can properly bo given, , Sometimes a rail road man wants information; sometimea a patentee wants his patent renewed that is a pretty hard fight. - Then a broker. wants to know,; what the Treas ury isoing toTdo 'about; a certain meas ure. Sometimes a banker is anxious about the financial movements in Con gress, or a merchant about the tariff. All these things we do constantly, and we do not make any cliarge for that, j '. We keep up a certain circle of friends, and once in a while an opportunity comes of getting something that is of real service; and for which compensation is due and proper: but the entertainments are proj)ortioned to the business of the session; when the business is good so are the entertainments, and when the business i3 not good the entertainments are meager. j - At the Charity nall. Among the dresses worn at the great charity bail, in New'York, we bote ,the following : Mrs. General Hancpck black velvet dress, with very delicate lace overdress, ornamented with whito mixed crimson and tea-roses. Mrs. A. Stew art, rich lavender silk, trimmed with point lace in sashes; scarlet flowers in her hair; ornaments, emeralds arid dia monds.

A Paris-made dress of lemon coloretji silk trimmed with white tulle, and garlanded with green leaves ; pearl ornament?. An elegrant dress of 1 pale blue and cha- mois twilled silk; a chatelaine pocket; embroidered witn gold and pear- s, and lovely beautiful pearl .ornaments.
