In the mean time John Martvn
waited IN Texas, watching every mail
from the earliest that could have
brought a reply to his letter. not dar-
ing to leave lest the detained epistle
might be lost, if sent after him. In
his strange bewilderment at the un-
expected turn in fortunes wheel. the
rush of hope that came with Mabers
image to his heart, the anxiety to
write at once, to communicate his
news, and try his fate; he had never
noticed the unfortunate date of his
important letter. The foolish chal-
lenge of New Years Eve had been
crowded from his memory by the hur-
rying change of events, and. therefore
the explanation of her silence did not
occur to him. No, she did not love
him he had been foolish, blind. vain.
10 belleve that all her gentle winning
ways meant more than friendship.
Summer heat was warning him from
Texas, and, arranging his affairs, he
lett his uncleS grave; and the miser-
able hut, and started for a tour of the
States, previous to an intended trip
to Europe. He would travel and for
get this boyish love and folly.

1t was Christmas Eve, and Mrs.
Greenway was to give large party.
to which all the upper crust of New
Y ork society were invited. Mrs.
Greenway was to introduce her niece.
and when an old friend requested per
mission to bring his sons college
chum, a young millionaire, on f1ving
visit to New Y ork, and about to start
for Europe, Mrs. Greenway gracions-
ly gave the requested permission
SO they met. Mabel was listlesss-
ly looking over the room full of
strange faces, trying to feel the inter
est her aunt expected IN her guests,
when John Martyr entered the room
Who is that, Aunt Helen? How
came he here?" she asked in an eager
whisper.
Where, nv dear? Oh that must
be the gentleman Mr.. Lee was telling
me about. Quite a romantic story"
and then she told Mabel what she had
believed to be a cruel Jest.
One part of the letter true. Was
the rest so? The quick blood flashed
through her veins with suffocating
speed her breath came IN short gasps,
but with nervous self-control she
stood quiet. They came forward to
greet the hostess. and as John turned
from Mrs. Greenwav to acknowledge
the introduction to her niece, his eyes
fell upon Mabel.
She did not pause to think whether
it was forward or not. With both
hands extended, quivering with emo
ton, she said -
''Oh, John, was it an April joke p
And then the date of his letter
flashed upon his memory. With quick
tact he drew her hand through his
arm, and led her toward the door
&" Where can we be alone?" he
whispered, for she trembled violently,
while the color was fading from her
face with alarming rapidity.

John Martyr sailed for Europe, Mabel
was by his side, fair, sunny bride,

crush the happiness of two lives, will
do to recall for an old woman's warn
ing when silver threads creep in

IHE LEAD PRoDUCrS OF WIscoy-
sIN.-A letter from an experienced
miner of Grant county, has let II,
have little light on the productions
OF lead IN W isconsin. On two sec.
tions of land in Grant county. the
total amount of mineral raised out oe
the ground. since it was first opened.
has been l40 10000 lbs which, at
S55 thousand (the present priee)
would be S7,700,00 Probablv.there
are three or four localities in Grant.
La tayette and Iowa counties, that
can show equal produc tiveness.
The writer Of the letter finds that
up to 1857, there has been shipped
from Galena $50, ,522 500 lbs. of lead.
lie thinks that much has been shipped
at other places, Of which no account
has been kept, and with what has
been shipped since that time, he thinks
that at least one thousand million
pounds OF lead have been produced
from the upper Mississippi mines
At the present price Of lead, 10c per
pound, this would amount to SI00,.
100000 Three-fourths of this amount
was obtained In Wisconsin.
ct the writer whose, figures we
quote, says the surface of the ground
only has been scratched com parativelv
speaking. He thinks there is lead
enough in Wisconsin to supply all
the markets of the world for hundreds
OF years. The deposits have only
been traced to the water, and the
vast outlay of capital required to
pump them dry below that, has pre-
vented any deep mining. He is con-
hdent that the mines are of untold
richness beneath the depths that have
yet been penetrated; and there is
no reason to doubt it. The geolo-
gists all agree that the probabilities
are in favor Of much richer deposits
than any that have yet been reached.

HEALTH IN SPRING.-The following
suggestions as TO the means of pre-
serving good health IN Spring, are
given bv the y. f. Farmer
Spring may have its peculiar disea-
ses, but we'll regulated diet, air and
exercise will be of incalculable more
service in guarding against maladies
and keeping the body healthy then
drawing away your hearts blood on
swallowing nauseous nostrums.
Engage in some employment that
will be useful TO the world. This
will keep the mind occupied and in
calm state.
Eat at regular times, plentifully, of
plain, nutritious food, and take moth
ing between meals, except water when
thirsty. Especially, eat nothing after
an early tea time. If. after these, the
bow els seem inactive, regulate them by
small doses of aperient IN medicine-but
very sparingly. Fasting, by omitting
meal for several days, might be
better.
Do not take too much exercise be
fore breakfast, but rather take the
breakfast earlier.

SPRING..
By EMA4 LAZAR Us.

The cold white snow has faded fast,
And stilled now is the wintry blast;
Where ersr it lay, that cold, dull snow,
The pale pink primrose new doth blow,
The first of her frail sisterfood.
The rivuets icy chains are burst
1t flows in joy and peace at first,
Then babbiing, sports in merry giee
And singing aloud at being free.
And whispering ~ the sproutiDg grass,
Come, weave carpet where l pass"
The violets, tinted like the sky
Seem freshly fallen from high,
And bloom n every SHADY nook.
Fair Spring through those blue eyes doth look
Upo', the gladsome, happy earth,
To which she bringeth joy and mirth.
Midst purple clover Craze the herds,
Mid fresh, green branches sing the birds,
And the heart, too, groweth gay,
Throws of old sorrows day ty day,
And praise God with gladness rife,
For Spring and flowers and earth life .
