of their rasping eyacuants is to destroy the

are unscrupulousy recommen ended to the weak

the cant of charlatanism. Every intelligent

letter from Ben, briefly announcing his arri-
VAL the following evening.
IL was wonderful what a revolution those few
lines worked in the farm house. The migrate
fGl guest passed like a dead man GU: of mind.
Margie's 6lithe spirits and soft color returned
immediately, she fitted from kitchen TO store
room, singing aud helpiag her mother, on house
wifely cares intent, just as she did before these
last miserable weeks had blighted her with their
wreiched disappoiutments The supper table
was set with exquisite care the best china, the
whiiest napkins, and every luxury Mrs. Hodges
fertile brain could invent-while Margie, bright
blushing and lovely, waited at the gate in the
deepening twilight, listening for the tramp of
the horses, her heart beating wildly lest some
thing should disappoint at last Every nerve
seemed TO culver and tremble as the quick clat-
ter of boots approached swiftly, until agitation,
Joy and anxiety were suddenly dispelled by a
pair Of strong arms being thrown around and
holding her all trembling 10 broad breast,
while a strangely familiar voice Whispered, "My
darling, do you love me yot?'
Margie lifted her head, confused doubt seiz-
Jag her, MS she hears that voice, Ben-Mr Ke-
lerman-oh, which is i, she asked half cry ing
as she endeavored 20 break from his embrace,
but be only held her closer.
Both, my pet, answered the black bearded
man stroking her hair and kissing the fair white
forehead, they told me you had forgotten me,
aud was determined to see for myself, and il
you had, little sweetheart, would have gone a.
way forever, you would have broken my heart.
Thank God, find you true az STEEL
Ofcourse there was great JOY in the farm house
that night although it was some time before the
farmer took in the affair as it stood, and, then
his satisfaction knew no bounds-he could oulv
rub his brawny hands and smile perpetually-
Ben proved that he had unusually good luck in
California, so they were married without delay,
and Margie, laughing and blooming as ever,
quite forgave him, her three weeks of doubt and
trial

AN Ice. HOUSE FOR FIVE DOLLARS

AN Ice. HOUSE FOR FIVE DOLLARS
A neighbor of mine, says q correspondent,
has an Enclosure abou, six feet square in
tho clear. and six ethiga. The walls are
formed Of old refuse timbers thrown caro-
lessly together, with no regard to form or
comeliness The roof is IN ede Of hemlock
boards. The entire cost of this building
did not exceed five dollars; and practically
considered, it a success: not ambitious Of
containing thirty-fve loads Of ice, but sim.
ply five loads. Ten years this little, un-
pretentious house has been used for ice, and
never yet dishonored draf, upon its crys-
tai deposit. About six inches of sawduss
was spread upon the ground floor, and in
packing space Of about nine inches was
left between the ice and the walls of the
building for sawdust, and about nine inches
OF sawdust wac spread upon the top of the
ice, and the thing was fixed. The three
main principles observed here will always
insure supply Of ice, viz good ven,ila,
ton, good drainage and plenty Of sawdust.
With these rules adhered TO a corner Of any
old pou.shed will prove quite efficient in
preserving ice.

CONCERNING PoULTRy.-Poultry breed
ing has now come TO be regarded as impor-
tant branch Of farming Industry as raising
ofswiue and sheep. La one sense it is
of moro Importance, in that it is not every
farmer who can keep sheep or swine with
advantage, but every one who owns OF rents
plot Of land, if only the size OF city lot,
can keep few head of poultry with both
pleasure and profit. When taken into con-
sidcration tho vast number of eggs annual,
ly consumed in the United States--tho
city of New York alone using during tho
year 1872 upwards Of $40, 900, 900, cost
ing at wholesale about 5000, 000-and
when we note the immense number of tons
of poultry sold in all the large cities of tho
Union, we caunot call the poultry interest
one of minor Importance. Yet it is but u
few years since that the namo of poultry
breeder seemed to convey an idea of insg-
niicance. Now, however, the proprietors
of large stock farms have their hocks Of
pure-bred fowls, which get their share of
attention and study as we'll as the horned
cattle and horses aud tho net income
from we'll managed poultry yard is no
small addition 10 the farm receipts.
