THE UNFAITHFUL GUARDIAN.
CHAPTER TX.

IN year, whose recordswere better left
to perish, silently.
The early summer frightened once again
over the old house, and, as of yore, Nellie
Lennox sat on the yine-wreathed terrace,
and watched the sun go down behind its
temple aisles of blue and gold. She was
changed-almost sixteen homegrown wo-
manly and tall, with sort of anxious
shadow dimming the tranquil beauty of
her face. She was looking down the long
avenue dreamily and still, and saw Robert
Morris riding toward the house.
"Nellie, dear Nellie, l have not seen
you in such an age; oh, how you are
grown, Nellie you look pale too"
"You almost frightened me, Robert,
that is ALL"
But you are glad to see me-say that
you are gladP"
"Always, Robert, alwaysp'
"And Mrs. Dexter, she is wells Have
you seen your guardian lately?"
"Not for several weeks. am expecting
him and---p i4l0ie<}'p4a
She broke off with little shiver, growing
red and pale,
"You certainly are not well, Nellie
They leave you here too much alone, you
ought to have more society" Y 4
"Oh, / don't mind like the quiet, 1
am used to it you know"
"But you were not used to wear that
dreary sort of look--I don't like it-some-
thing is the matter, Nellie"
"When tell you no, Robert But come
into the house, Mrs. Dexter win be delight
ed to see you back"
"Not just yet, Nellie-come down to the
arbor with me first-don't you remember
the last time we sat there, when read you
William Sears poemsP"
She started, drew little back, looking
at him with an eager inquiring expression.
Don't you remember%' M
ooh, yes, yes--it is so long ago." '@-
"Then you have missed me--thanks for
that" T
He took her hand and led her gently down
the steps toward the arbor, where they
had sat that pleasant summer evening,
which seemed to Nellie SO far back in the
past.
Nellie was not looking at her companion,
or she might have seen that he had put
off the usual gaiety which made his face SO
buoyant and light-hearted, seemed serious,
almost sad.
i like so much to find myself here once
more" he said, looking around, "aftei
all, this seems to me the only happy
valley"
"iNellie smiled, growing glad again as
she looked in his face and met the glance
of those clear, honest eyes.
Now you look like yourself; ISnoW

"What do you mean, RobertP 1t is you

"And did that make you serious p''
"No, no But remember that we had
left all that far behind-you are almosi

be children again, there never will be any
happiness like that" i. wv
"But there will, Nellie, If you choose tC

A womanly consciousness came over her

"None, none My guardian thought

There was sudden noise Of wheels, and
Nellie sprang up looking toward the house
which was visible, though the arbor itself
was hidden from view.

She felt his arms tighten about her waist,
the touch of his lips warm upon her cheek,
and he was gone. i Iai ttH
The next thing she heard was her own
name several times pronounced, it was her
guardians voice. She tried to move for
ward, but before she could leave the arbor,
Mr.. James enteredi it, pale and convulsed
with some strong emotion.

CHAPTER X.


We must now go back to other charac-
ters in our story, and events which trans
pired few weeks previous to those related
in the last chapter. sa .-a. Ire I'd
Catharine Lennox had returned to Paris
at the close of that year which we left
without record. & She had been for many
months in the north Of Europe-she felt
a sense of relief in the companionship of
nature and the awful solitude of those
mountain passes. How the days dragged
on perhaps she herself could hardly have
told. For season she was ill, watched
and tended by her faithful Janet, the COM
panion of her wanderings At length her
very misery forced her into action, aud
once more she took up her pen. oa
Whittier Sears had gone she knew not
there had been no communication between
them since that parting in the valley of
Chamouni-but she felt that he was yet
alive, maddened perhaps and desperate be-
meath the long night through which she
still looked up to heaven, though no star
broke the impenetrable darkness which en-
veloped her. tfrtl3 3a
He was living still, that she knew. Was
he with NellieP No, that she felt to be
impossible, then she remembered all that
the child herself might be enduring-her
little sister, whom she had prayed to and
blessed as an angel in heaven Even her
she could not seek-there was barrier
between them impossible as that which
separated her from Sears. There was no
help, no hope, nothing only endure, to
bear on unto the end and trust in the mercy
Of God. 'nao"
Tho days passed in her northern dwell
ling she was not waiting or expecting any
thing, but she felt. that the end was not
yet, she was to meet Sears once more how
or when she knew not, but she was to look
upon his face again this side eternity.
The year ended, and she returned to
Paris, not for herself, but to make some
settlements for her faithful Janet, in case
that her own death should occur unex-
pectedly.
One evening she felt unusually depressed
and strange sort of anxiety came over
her, for which she was unable TO account.
She could almost have believed that some
thing was about to happen; formerly those
presentiments had never failed to be the
premonition Of some i'll tidings, but what
could occur now-eyen death to herself or
the one afar could have nothing of terror
in IT, aH
AS she sat there the door opened, and a
visitor entered. Janet was out, and Cath
arine had not even given orders to deny
callers, believing that her arrival in Paris
was unknown to her acquaintances, She
looked up, not even surprised or moving
from her seat--nothing startled her now.
She recognized the intruder--it was
Duval. e
fare you surprised TO see me, Mrs.
Grant?" he said, advancing toward her
"No,' aud she motioned him to seat
81 believe almost was expecting you"
81 meant you TO be 80, for you are
troubled to-nighti You do not know the
cause P''

WHEN WHEAT SHOULD BE Cur
The Germantown Telegraph says, there
has been some diversity Of opinion as to
best time to cut wheat, judging from the
common practice Of farmers. Il is gen
orally cut when dead ripe, or at least when
the grain has become hard. This is no
doubt an error, and one Of more impor-
lance than many suppose. 1t should be
remembered that wheat is composed of
gluten. starch and bran. Gluten is the
nourishing quality Of grain, makes the
-four stick together in the hands Of the
baker, and gives weight to the grain--and
there is the greatest quantity Of gluten in
the grain just when the straw is yellow
two or three joints from the ground, the
head turns downward, and you can mash
a grain between your thumb and finger
without producing any milk. It may
therefore be set down as an undisputed
truth that every day the wheat stands af-
ter this stage Of its ripeness the gluten de-
creases in quality and the bran increases
in thickness. We give facts in time that
the farmers can take advantage Of the
present season.

There ara iNo classes Of cullufists who
have very positive ideas Of grape-culture.
One has certain rule laid down BY some
excellent authority on ggape-cultuse which
must Be followed to tho very letter, and
which calls for much pinching, pruning
and thinning exactly 70; thc other thinks
nature knows what Is best, and believes i
wisest 10 let the grippe grow as il viii.
Our experience IS between these two,
Grapes d. want some systematic care and
culture, but what the details OF this should
be win depend more on circumstances than
rules, and common sense to know how to
adapt these circumstances TO the wants Of
tie vino viii do more for the grape grower
than the best written treatise by tho high
est authority would do.
Surprising for instance that the vino has
had some trimming in the winter, and that
il is desirable to keep it within certain
limited space, we have to see that all the
branches have fair share Of the light and
air necessary to perfect themselves. A
vine on a stake in vineyard or garden
culture win therefore require different
training and pruning from one on trellis
or on the side Of house. But il requires
the consideration Of no particular plan to
understand that to have good healthy To-
liage, and consequently strong, vigorous
canes, each leaf must have full room to
develop ITSELF So if there be a heavy
mass Of foliage that viii crowd one another
and keep each shoot or leaf from growing
as ii should do, they should be thinned
out till only just enough be left to cover
up the occupied space.
What is true of leaves and branches is
true Of the fruit In state Of nature the
plants object is to perfect seed. But We
DO not care about seed, we need pulp, or
at least the delicious flesh which surrounds
the seeds. By lessening the amount Of
seeds we increase the succulence Of the
berries left. Thinning Of the punches
then becomes one Of the most beneficial
practices in vine-culture. As general
rule it is safe to cut off one third Of all the
punches formed. In regard to the shoots
themselves 1t is a good rule to leave nc
more grow than we want to remain but
superfuoas ones should be taken out be-
fore they have made much growth. It is
great shock to the plant to have them
pulled out after they have made consid
cradle length Of wood and much foliage
Again, some shoots viii grow much more
vigorously than others, and the object Of
the good cultivation Is to have them al

timent that is confined to no one locality

parts of this State and from various sec

anating from prominent men ofall parties.
They weary with the confusion, uncertainty
and misgoyernment which so universally
prevail, and express their desire for peace

management and protection Of the good

unsel6sh instincts which controlled in the
