His next thought was of his gun. When
it was found that he did not return, his
neighbors would certainly search for him,
and by firing the gun he could attract their
attention. Vain hope! Search as he would,
he could find nothing of it. Even if he had
discovered it, it would have been useless,
for his powder-horn was gone as well.
Over and over he turned the showdown
deep he dug into it until his hands burned
like fire, and great drops of perspiration
rolled from his forehead-until his arms
grew stiff and sore, and he was forced to
give up the useless labor from sheer ex-
haustion. With his back against the frozen

As this magazine is not much known in this
vicinity, it is perhaps due to our readers to
state that, in our judgment, it stands high in
the front ranks of this sort of publications in
our country; having among its contributors
such celebrities as Bayard Taylor, Motley, E.
Z. Hale, and others, and is devoted to 'ltera-
ture, science, art and national interests" Yet
1t is not SO much u work for the million, as for
that smaller class who prefer solid and endur-
ing matter to that which is pleasing without
being useful. 1t Is of that kind whence the
good Vicar of Wakefield selected his wife,
choosing her, he says, as she chose the stuff
for her wedding robes, not for show, ''but for
such qualities as would wear WELL"
How TO MAKE A CRANBERRY PIE. There
are various ways. Some make them open, like
a custard or squash pie. This is good, bat not

slit each berry with a knife This will pre-
serve the freshness of the fruit, which is quite

and an equal quantity of white sugar, will

sweet pie should have more sugar; also more

CHAPTER III.


With dire starvation staring him in the
face, he bowed his head and wept like
child. Starvation-that is dreadful, even
10 thought Starvation-that has in it
more of horror than thousand other
deaths He could almost see it silently
approaching, and for time despair alone
had possession of him. Then his trust in
the Supreme Being returned, and he com
mitted himself, unto His holy keeping.
" Heavenly Father!" he murmured from
between his parched and blackened lips !:
" 1t is thy hand that hast sustained me so
far-hast saved me from all danger. Thou
givest food to the young ravens, and mark
est even the fall of the tiny sparrow. None
but thou canst hear or help me. Hear my
prayer Save me. 0 God! Save me !"
Something of sweet consolation came
with the utterance of the words, and he
laid down to sleep more TRANQUILITY than he
had done for many previous nights. Yet,
it was only to be awakened by new
fear. 1t needed no seer to tell him that
the fohn, or hot wind, was sweeping over
the glaciers and snow fields of the high
Alps and that the rain was falling in tor
rents and the enormous blocks of ice melt
ing, as by the touch Of fire. The cavern
he had dug by infinite labor, was almost
breast-deepiwith water, and it was rushing
in with all the swiftness of mountain tor

Farmers cannot manure more
cheaply or successfully than by
blowing down green clover. This
is especially true with farms located
so far away from cities or towns
as to make the manures obtained
from them expensive. A poor field
of grass will not pay the expense OF
converting it into hay, but may lay
the foundation for a good crop OF
wheat by ploughing it down. 1t is

DISCoURAGEMENT TO SHEEP
UUSBANDRY IN NERMONT.-Thc
Rutland Herald says that the farm
ers in that portion of Vermont,
engaged in sheep husbandry, are
kcenly disappointed at the long
continued and discouraging dcprcs
sion in the wool market. Thirty
eight cents per pound is about the
ruling average price for TIE first
quality Of domestic tleeces. In view
of these figures, many farmers refuse
to sell their wool and it is estimated
that full onc-half of the clip of last
summer remains unsold. In add.
ton to this, two previous clips, in
many cases, havc not been disposed
of. A large portion of the wool now
stored Oh farms would probably go
into the market if fifty cents could
be realized for it. This accumulation
of so important an agricultural pro
duct is causing much Inconvenience
TO those farmers who have been
accustomed to look for ready money
from their annual sales of wool,
The natural result is, that large
numbers Ct sheep are being sold of
at extremely low priccs,and farmers
are investing their means IN cattl,
and horses.

RAISE ONLY THE BEST Stock.
Some few years ago Samuel
Thorne of Duchess Co., n. Y, sold
to Jas. o. Sheldon of Geneva, 40
head of Short Horn Cattle for Si0,-
600. Now these cattle sold, have
nearly all been raised within ten
years. How much more did it cost
10 raise them than the same mum
Der of common cattle at the same
age, which at previous prices, would
hardly sell for more than 5000.
This herd, probably, did not eat so
much in bulk as common cattle,
because they were always kept III
high condition, the extra feed and
care which they have had is IA mere
trihe compared to the extra price
for which they have been sold. On
most large farms, this extra care and
iced could be given to cattle as well
as not. The want Of enterprise and
ambition to do things i'll the best
manner,( this is the most profitable
manner causcs most of the failures
of eminent success among farmers.
This sale teaches the importance OF
doing whatever you do, well and
thoroughly.
How many farmers are there who
keep from 70 to 100 head of scrul
cattle, which eat more than Mr.
Thornc's 40 head, and the whole
100 head will not sell for one >fourtl

We visited it Friday and was surprised to see
the magnificent granite that was there being

twenty-seven feet in length, three feet wide
and two feet thick, which equals in quality the
best granite brought from Vermont. 1t weighs
200 lbs. to the square foot and at the depth Of
ten feet is as white as the Hallowell granite.

THE BULLS AND THE BEARS OF THE PEACH
MARKET.-For the past week the bulls have
kept a stiff upper lip in the peach market, and
refused to turn bears, although the only Bruin
was having everything his own way with the
multitude, who were perfectly willing to take
the peaches as they came without picking the
choicest fruit. Maloney found he had made
nice little corner and determined to see the
battle through, even if, by some unlucky chance
the tide should turn in favor OF his enemies,
and defeat should be to him what it was to the
Harvards, "a dire reality from too many and
toocheap peaches. Consequently on Saturday
heappeared on the field, but behold! the trans
formation! The bulls had become bears, and
instead of one there were three wagons loaded
with fruit to be disposed of to the lowest bid
der. One cart load of fruit was given away by
Maloney, and Perkins came down to five cents
dozen. The result of the affair was that all
the fruit in the market was sold out or got rid
of in some way by night, and it is currently
believed that every man, woman and child in
the city had good square meal of fruit yes
terday. 1t is said that it isl an gill wind that
