VERY GREAT HAPPINESS.
Look Ont for the Fruit Buds.

Often. late in the season, q frosty
night and morning destroys the
germ OF fall coming fruit, with peach,
apricot, plum and cherry. The
fruit grower, therefore, should re-
member that old adage of Ian ounce
Of prevention is worth a pound Of
cure" and so remembering attend
to the coming crop of fruit with this
ounce of prevention. And how ? do
you ask" Why, simply by forming
an artificial cloud or atmosphere of
smoke, by building fires in various
parts of the orchard or grounds, the
combustible matter being mainly
composed Of old rubbish, wet straw,
weeds, or half rotten barn yard
manure, In which corn stalks form
a part upon this pile, any thick
poor oil spread viii add to the vol
ume Of smoke, and to keep II up a
long time, cover the whole with
slices of thin turf. Strict and care
full watch should be kept every eve
ming and night. II the sky is clear,
and the thermometer shows as low
as 40o then the fires should be
lighted nut il cloudy weather, with
some wind, often no loss or injury
will occur.

THAN THAT YOU DID,

~ WINGED. She had been speak
ing so fast that / could not get in a
word. ] vas sitting in what they
called humorously her fathers ca "
chair; she was opposite, on a low
seat, leaning forward, with her lit
tie hands clasped in her lap, her
pretty warm brunette complexion
heightened, her eyes sparkling, her
countenance expressing what she
was trying TO put in words.
Dorothy i said, you will
grieve me very much, if you
imagine for n moment that il
would be possible for me to doubt
your candor. j am sure YOU were
as much surprised as / was. To tell
you the truth, my dear little girl, /
never gave Charles credit for so
much good taste, and it had never
even entered my head to think of
his marrying at all
'-She looked, however, only par
tally relieved when she returned:
Il am glad you understand mel
hope you always will
"And is that all you have 10 say
to me, Dora?'
no; l want TO know what / am
10 do p
That must depend entirely on
your own feelings. i am quite as
anxious for your happiness as for
nv own children's. Do YOU love
Charley? She only replied by tears;
and / began to consider if she had
a secret fondness for him, and
thought / might object TO her want
of money, sol Went On: IF you do,
i consider him the luckiest fellow
in the world, for, though he
is my own boy, he is not worthy
Of you
4 win tell you ALL she said,
wiping her eyes.
I DO NOT LOVE HIM;
/ am sure / never should love him
well enough to marry him; but i do
not like to say 50 TO You; ii seems
so ungraoious,
Sin the depth of the meanness
hidden in my heart, j was delighted
that she had spoken thus of my
own son, but i smothered the feel
ing, and walked to the window to
look out.
al am afraid you think me un-
grateful she resumed
THAT would be utterly unreas-
enable. No one can command his
heart
You see that / do not think ]
could make Charles happy if / mar
NED him without loving him. and
IT could not be right, either-could

Certainly not

observed Jack; "and her father and

pointed
1No doubt. When Dalton was
dying, two years Later, Dorothy was
very heavy at his heart, TO
think of that bright, pretty, high
spirited creature, chilled, drilled,
kept under, as j have seen girls as
sweet, lively, and good as she is,
lacerates me- he said to me, one
day. And then / toldhim that, with
Gods help, she never should be; that
i had taken forethought about what
would be best; and that, if Mrs.
Dalton agreed, j would find the
money for them TO start a school for
little boys, which i considered the
least laborious undertaking for la
dies, and she not only need not be
separated from her daughters, but
would be materially helped by
them His look of perfect satisfac-
ton is among my dearest recollec-
tons"
You're a good fellow" remarked
Jack huskily.
