scopic rami6cations interweave it with
every part, from the skin to the bones
and marrow, and the very nerves are
channeled and grooved through it, or
imbedded in it, defended by it, and
conduct sensation and intelligence

blood vessels contain it, so that, from
the crown Of the head to the sole of
the foot, the prick of a needle or the
touch of lancet will develop it.

But we can't tell the half OF the
trials of that afternoon. No supper
was ready when the Colonel re-
turned. They waited an hour-it was
dark.
"Did you ever see such buscuit. +"
exclaimed the old lady as quick as they
were out of hearing.
"They certainly were not the best" :"
answered Miss Sexton.
"And such cake"
"Ohl that was hurried; accidents
will happen"
The sausages hadn't one mite of
sage in them"
"Well. you know Miss Jane said
that was forgotten"
"Oh, so to fiddlestick!" exclaimed
the impatient lady, 81 don't make no
excuses for them sort of things"

"Ha, ha, ha," shouted the good ma

"Mercy on us, Colonel, we shall ali
have our necks broke"
"You have been telling that for
twenty five years; never broke your
neck yet, mamma-nor your spirit"
"Now, shut up, Mr.. Harper"
"Well, | WILL" answered the Col
onel, with another guffaw.
Walter met his parents at the gate,
helped out the schoolma' m and Leo
nora. and lifted his dear old mother
out with care. Miss Sexton expected
to hear real onslaught made upon
poor Jane, but the mother of Walter
knew better; she had lived with his
father too long, and knew from ex-
perience that when she wanted him to
go, the surest way was to say-stay.
"What kept you SO latc," asked
Walter.
"Why, we had our tea rather late"
NOT word about its taking three to
get supper. In five minutes the black
silk dress was hanging in the bedroom,
and the calico wrapper whisking
around the tea table, and in just TWEEN
ty minutes nice warm supper was
smoking on the table.
"Can you beat that, Miss Sexton"
asked Mrs. Harper.
"Guess | can do as well," she an
swered, while Leonora declared it was
Just one hour after she smelled sau-
sages before supper was ready.
"Oh, never mind" exclaimed Mrs.
Harper, "they did the best they could
some folks, you know. will try life
time, and then they will always be be-
hind time"
Thus, little by little, the whole sto-
ry leaked out, Mrs. Harper looking
grave every time, and making some
sly insinuation towards the abilities of
Miss Sexton.
But we won't carry out the whole
plan of operations. 1t is all our read
ers need to know that Walter never
went home with Jane, and that Mrs.
Walter Harper before Christmas called
upon the Misses Peters, and found all
in a fix.

the root or grain crops. In the front yard
of the old homestead there stood an old ap-
pie tree in a deep rich loan. 1t was
kept in grass and bore a large crop of early
apples in alternate years, yielding nothing
in the interval. By way of experimenting,
the green sward was broken up, and the
whole yard mnurcd and planted as a gar
den. To the great disappointment Of all
theskeptics in the region, the oldtree changed
its habits, and bore very full crops two
years IN succession. The yard was seeded
down and it relapsed, but continued to bear
in the years which would have been barren
in the old order.
When young orchard is put out upon q
piece Of recently cleared woodland, where
there is abundance Of vegetable matter in
the soil, it bears with much more uniformity
every year than an old orchard under com

much more productive than those in the
older States for the same reason. The trees

tion, will yield more profit than ten acres
neglected in the ordinary way. The only
secret in having apples abundant every year
is in keeping the trees clean, and in
feeding them. He who has plenty of muck,
peat, lime or ashes, and stable manure, need
not 60 off his own premises to find plant
! food fnr his orchard. The breaking IN Of
the turf in an old orchard, and the apPlica
tion Of compost of these materials will
work wonders. Nothing but root crops
should ever be attempted in an orchard.
