would listen from her lips to the
story of her buried affections for
the sake of thei: past, she would
grant him this. And then, hope
less though it might be, he would
tell her of his love, and his long
soul-weariness.
Poor Edith, one ordeal was over,
but the morning light bade her
prepare for another. This time
she was not only to cordially well
come, but as cordially bid farewell
to Rowland Howard. Now he was
untrammelled by marriage vows
nut should they meet in the future.
Ellen Drew would be his WIFE
Although she had not met him,
yet for four years she had been
cognizant of his movements, had
heard again and again his name
linked with that of his cousin, and
of late, of preparations to celebrate
their nuptlals.
Excuse me, Miss Edith, but you
have changed very little in tho past
twelve years. True, the merry light
of your eye, is more gentle, and if
you will pardon me, still further,
one need not be told you too have
suffered. Edith, do not Thick me
presumptious, but before I leave
you for the sake of the past will
you tell me Of him you loved so
well? Did he prove false or is he
dead ?" She raised her eyes won
deringly. AS they met his she
flushed and trembled, and her
look melted into one of tender
ness. Involuntarily he grasped
her hand.
dear Edith, forgive me, even
as | forgive you y
She withdrew her hand, mur-
muring:
'..Mr. Howard, I do not under
stand you, | have never, never
wroDged You"
"Oh !! Edith, my lost darling, in
mercy tell me was it caprie, or
were you forced TO write me those
letters, and annul our engagement
OF twelve years ago ?"
Pushing back her sleeves, she
showed the gold band he had
clasped on her arm, and almost iu-
andlbIy said
"For twelve long, weary years
has this kept fresh the morning OF
May 10Th.
And you were true after ali?
Oh thank God my darling! my

The last Baltimore Gasetle gives

gentle reader, please charge it mp

startling crimes, and abroad there

Russians to move rapidly. If yon

SPREADING OFER roo MUCH
LAND.

Two distinct systems Of farming
are in vogue in this country; the one
IN the North, wherein the great aim
is to make the largest possible yield
TO the acre and the other in the
South. where the controlling object is
TO produce the largest crop possible
from each hand. This great differ
eEce was more manifest before the
war than now, but still many of our
farmers do not reflect enough upon
the Importance Of giving heed to the
suggestions of experience and intel
ligence upon this subject. Bearing
directly upon this point, the editor OF
New Jersey paper says the past
years experience has taught many a
farmer TO plant less breadth of land.
manure and cultivate more thorough
ly, and use more intelligent thought
in the planning of his work This
skimming over acres for the pleasure
of being called large grower, ard
with the oft exploded fallacy before
the ewes that if ten acres produce
10000 bushels or pounds, twenty will
produce twice as much, is fast losing
its charm. Thoroughness in farm
operations is what we want, and then
no chance will he given for skimming
over large surfaces with such losses,
disappointments and above all, rum
alton to the land, if continued on
year after year. Let US face about
and reason opposite to what we have
been doing, viz That If oneacre vii
produce one hundred bushels ol
pounds of crop, one-half an acre
should he made-with extra ma
nuring, cultivation and attention-t6
produce $50 or 200 bushels or pounds
Our thoughts should run in this di
rection, and we would, then stop the
wasteful and ruinous practice we have
been running into.
Farmers should not aim 10 spreaC
over large surface unless they car
do it profitably, ho7h1to the land ant
to themselves. Better cultivate :
small space well, than go over two o
three acres, fer the product of one i
DroDcrly managed.

When one lot of clothes is removed from
the solution, replace with another.

Washington Notes.

Fred Douglas, the well-known colored
orator, is to be the Marshal of the District.
Heretofore, besides his attachment to the
Supreme Court, this official has been the
introducer at the State receptions of the
President. But this social duty of the
Marshal, President Hayes has decided to
abolish during bis term. Whether Doug
las will think this latter significant iuten-
ton Of the President with reference to the
duties of his Office Is a violation Of the
civil rights act or only another one of
Hayes country notions is the talk at the
hotels.
The extra session Of the Senate will
probably close on Tuesday next. It is
again reported that as soon as the session
ends the troops will be Withdrawn from
Louisiana and South Carolina.
II is said that an extra session will not
be called, if at all, before the warm weather
is over. This would be bad arrange
ment for the health Of Congress. Warm
weather is not generally over till Septem.
Der, and the malaria Of Washington is
very deleterious to health about that time
Mr. John D. Defrees is to he public
printer in the place Of Mr.. Clapp.
1t is possible that the Democratic majori-
ty in the next house will not exceed three
