that told him as plain as language couie
have uttered it, that she deeply repen,ed o
her former conduct towards him.
1t is too late" the young man said tt
himself, with some bitterness of feeling, a.
he reflected upon what il was impossible
not to perceive. And even as. he said this
there arose extanuating arguments in hi:
mind that he in vain strove to expel,
Disturbed by such thoughts and feelings
DR.. Bedford wandered away from the gay
party, and remained alone for nearly an
hour. AS he returned, lie came eadenly
upon Ada, seated in pensive attitude, Just
above little dashing waterfall, down into
which she was looking. She was so entirely
lost in the scene, or more probably, in the
thoughts which it was impossible to drive
ut of her mind, that she did not observe
the yonng mans approach. Bedford paused
suddenly, and his first impulse was to re-.
treat. But not being able to get his con-
sent to do this, he. after little hesitation,
advanced, and when within a few PAGES,
reused her from her revery by few lightly
uttered words. Ada turned with start,
while deep crimson mantled her face
1t was sometime before she could command
herself sufficiently to reply with anything
like composure, and even her voice slightly
trembed.
Few words passed between them, as side
by side they slowly returned to where they
had left their companions, for both were
afraid to trust themselves to speak. Before
week elapsed Doctor Bedford, breaking
through pride and every other restraining
sentiment, visited Ada, and, before leaving
her, renewed his offer of marriage, which
was accepted amid gush of joyful tears.
Deeply had Ada suffered through her fol-
ly, and from her sufferings she had come
forth purer and a truer, and better wo-
man.
There are a few like Ada. But rarely
does the vain coquette escape with so hrief
a period of suffering. Usually with her it
is a life long season of sorrow and repent
ance. After rejecting, with heartlcss lev
ity, her worthy suitors, she yields her hand
at last to the most unworthy, and unblessed
by true affection, goes YEARLY on her way
through the world, glad when the hour
comes in Which she may lay down her bur-
dens, and find rest and peace in the quiet
grave.
1he Culture Of Strawberries The
New York Horticultural Society, at con-
versational meeting, arrived at the following
conclusions in regard to the best method
of cultivating Strawberries:
"The best soil for the strawberry was
stated to be gravclly loam. The land
should be drained, and to every acre ap-
piled twenty bushels of unleached ashes, ten
bushels of lime, and two or three pounds
of salt. The ground should be we'll broken
up; animal manures should be eschewed :;
leaf is the best, and this should be carefully
spaded in. About the first of July is the
best time to set ont the plants. In doing
this, pains should be taken to have them
firmly rooted. The rows should be eigh-
teen inches apart, and the plant foot apart.
Sometimes it will he we'll to allow greater
interval in which case the intersticcs can
be filed up from the growth of the run
ners. After setting out the plants, throw
on a covering oftan bark an inch or inch
and half in depth, then water them
plentifuliy, and tie n, ,oistu,e Will be retained
long time. After cold weather comes ON,
cover tie strawberry bed and the walks
with clean straw, throwing over little
brush, or something to keep the straw in its
place. In the spring, remove the straw,
and make use Of some fertilizing agent 10
give the plants vigor, as sulphate Of soda,
sulphate of ammonia, or nitre of potash
Keep the roots out, see that the plants are
bountifuIly watered and let nothing inter-
vene to disturb or retard their growth till
you gather the fruit. Tho beds should be
made over as often as every three years.
Garyet Root.-Gatget, in COWS, is dis.
ease Of the udder, arising from inaamma-
ton of the lymphatic glands, which may
be known by the bags becoming hard in
spots, and yielding bloody milk. A dose
Of garget root, of the size of mans thumb
given in potato, or cut up and mixed
with meal, is the best thing for this disease
When this is not at hand, dose or two o.
saltpeter will often remove the trouble
Meanwhile, the milk should be gently re
moved twice or three times per day.
