II kept in the light, and where warm, whether
picked or on the tree. evaporation will go on,
and decay be accelerated. Keep, therefore in
dark, cool place, neither too damp nor too dry,
and be sure that the air is not charged with any
foreign Odor, as the pear readily absorbs such
odor. 1t is this imPurity Of the air that 80 often
makes the difference in the same sort. A per-
fectly pure air, with darkness and GOODNESS to
slowly ripen and develop quality without eyap-
Grating it, is what is wanted, especially in the
more delicate kinds. 1t will paw richly to give
th is attention.
AS to the time OF picking, there are signs to
direct US. The change in the color is one, but
is only to be trusted in experienced hands. The
most common sign, and safe one, is the readI-
ness Of the fruit TO part from It's twig, which il
will do by lifting the pear.--''F g." ia CouRtry

Wentworth with Martha Hilton, a sort of Sec

Martha Hilton was a poor girl, whose bare

Others the Rev. Arthur Brown) to dine with
him at Little Hsrbor on his birthday. After
the dinner, which was a very elaborate one
was at an end, and the guests were discussing
their tobacco pipes, Martha Hilton glided into
ibe room, and stood blushing in front of the
chimney place. She WAS exquisitely dressed,
as you may conceive, and wore her hair three
stories high. The guests stared at each other
and particularly al her, and WONDERED. Then
the governor, rising from his seat
"Played slightly with his ruffles, then looked

Martha Hilton by the hand. The Rev. Arthur
