remain in the country for the present, in
order that may be easily accessible to all
whose duty it may be to see me.

character, I find it impossible to meet
charges which have taken no shape, except
the vague and varied one put before the
pubic by newspaper rumors and abusive
gsssip. Reiterating my emphatic and sol
emn denial of all the scandalous allegations
against me, ] hold myself ready to meet any
definite charges made by responsible parties
in conformity with title II, canon 8, section
2, subsection l of the Digest.
The above course of action, am author
lied to say, meets with the approval of those
brethren of the Episcopate with whom l
have had the opportunity of consulting. l
began this note by announcing the with
drawal Of my resignation. conclude it
by saying that this is done to give opportu-
nifty for the vindlcation of my character
So soon as this end shall be attained my
resignation will be renewed, because of my
increasing physical infrmities. Most faith
fully and affectionately yours,
SAMUEL A. McCosKRY,
Bishop of Michigan.

Cupid Among the Red Men.

A romantic encounter took place the
other day between two Indian women
and tall chief, on board the Soulanges,
at Fredericton. The two, it appears,
had been travelling with the setting sun
towards the great Salt Lake, and had
brought bottle with them to keep their
spirits revived. One of the women was
rather inclined to be handsome, and Joel
seemed to glory in conversing with her.
But she had promised ere three moons to
bestow her hand upon more youthful
brave. Joel, however, began TO make
love to her, and even hinted young Gabe
was mere squaw. This was too much
for Swan Neck. Naturally irritable of
temper, and now excited with fire.water,
she rushed upon the unfortunate Joel,
and with the grip of tigress dragged
him to the floor. The other woman, who
had all along been taking an occasional
dram out of the bottle, now broke the
calumet, and siezing billet of wood
began to cudgel the unfortunate Joel.
She had, it appears, for many years cher
ished the fond hope that he would bring
her to his wigwam and make her the
trainer of his pappooses. But her love
had been treated with scorn, and now
every welt that she gave him with that
billet Of wood paid for many hours
watching in the still hours Of night, with
nothing but the pale moon streaming
down to comfort her AS she tried to catch
his figure returning from the hunt. Well,
from what we can learn, but for the in
tervention of some of the crew. Joel
would never again hunt moose.-HaI9ar

The Hearts Of the LOwly.

One day, three or tour weeks ago, a
gamin, who seemed 10 have no friends in
the world, was run over 10y vehicle on
Gratot avenue and fatally injured. AZ

asked if he could go in. lie had been
invited to many times before, but had al

emaciated, opened his eyes in wonder at
sight of the boy, and before he realized
who it was, the stranger bent close to his
face and sobbed
BILLY, can you forgive feller! We
WAS allus fighting, and was allus too
much for ye, but am sorry. Fore ye

The young lad, then almost in the
shadow of death, reached up his thin,
white arms, clasped them around the 9th.

Stable Floors,

The best stable that l know of has
cement floor, sloping to the rear, with
grooves to conduct liquids to gutter
and "bell" trap. Upon this is floor
of three.inch strips, cut so as to lie level
from front to rear, and laid half an inch
apart. This is very nice, easy for the
horses either to lie or stand upon--easily
cleaned and kept clean, but dry, dry, div,
which l would be afraid of, even if the
cost were not barrier. This packing of
the feet is a nuisance; trotting horse men
and gentlemen,who keep coachman and
two or three grooms to wait upon them
and two pairs of horses, may indulge in
the luxury of fancy floors, and packed
feet, bandaged legs and all the artifcial-
ties of II well-regulated stable for their
horses, but cannot. l incline, however,
strongly to the old cobble-stone pave.
ment again. The front, where the horses
fore feet stand, should be "of the earth,
earthly" the pavement beginning just
back of the stamping place. The stones
should be Of nearly uniform size, round
ed and fat, and set edgeways-.there be-
ing slight depression through the centre
to carry off liquids-and the floor should,
of course, terminate in gutter behind.
l think that pail of water and birch
broom used every two or three days, will
keep such floor sweet and clean in all
seasons.-American AgrtcMturist.

GROWING WHEAT--Wheat growing,
says Il recent writer, has nearly ruined
one section of Wisconsin. 1t has de-
stroyed the fertility Of one of the best
soils that ever the sun shown on. 1t has
introduced vast army Of insects which
now stand ready to destroy other crops
Worse than all, it has struck the farmer
himself with mental blight. Like IN
temperance, it steals away his brains,
making him totally oblivious Of bis own
folly. The culture of grass and corn, and
raising Of beef, pork, butter and cheese, IS
the remedy of our impoverished farms
and farmers. Dairymen are getting rch,
grain-raisers are getting poorer every
year. The profits that come from grass
culture are not excessive, but they are
sure, and besides, the farmer is not sell
ing out his farm by the bushel.

EARLY RIPENING OF THE TOMATO. BY
cutting back the ends of tho tomato vine
as soon as the fruit is sufficiently set to
insure plentiful crop, the ripcuing sea-
son can be pushed to good advantage.
Not only will the fruit ripeu sooner, but
it will be Of finer size and more perfect
development. If possible, the fruit should
be ripened on the vines; the flavor is SO
much richer when so ripened, that it is
worth while to take extra pains in order
to protect it so that it may ripen in its
natural state. A most eifectdal scare
crow to fight away poultry from theripen-
ing fruit can be made by sticking turkey
or hen feathers into crooked neck sum-
mer squash, so it will resemble hawk;
put stick through the body, tie strings
to either end, and fasten to long pole,
letting the "nondescript" swing back
and forth over the tomato bed. 1t will
prove etfectual, we know.

WHAT A KkUPP CANNON BALL DID,
Tie Shah of Persia one day expressed a
longing for a Krupp cannon in the pres
ence of the Russian Minister and the
Car Immediately sent one of the mon
sier cannon--a 800 pounder-to his ally.
The present was landed at Enzili, on the
Caspian Sea, but it took II months labor
by regiment of the Persian army to get
the cannon TO Teheran. Arrived there IA
day was appointed to fire it. The Court
and almost the entire population Of the
city assembled. Bang went the cannon,
away sCampered half the multitude, and
down tumbled the minaret Of one of the
city guies, near which it had been placed.
But there was another disaster In an
hours time messenger arrived from n
village five miles away, and reported
that its inhabitants were bewailing the
loss of their mosque. The ball from the
cannon had struck the building and
ruined it. The Shah was so dismaycd by
the effect that be never permitted the can

Lady Arabella Stuart.

Lady Arabella Stuart was cousin of
James the First of England. Being a
person of some political importance, her
hand was sought even by monarchs, but
James saw fit to keep her single. TAX
ing the matter in her own hands, how
ever, she married privately William Sey-
mour, the love of her childhood, and son
of Lord Beauchamp. This so exasperated
the king that tbeaady was imprisoned in
the house of Sir Thomas Parry, while
the gentleman was put in the Tower.
Devotedly fond of each other, the I'M
happy pair managed to keep up cores
pondence, which being discovered sub.
jocted the Lady Arabella to a change of
prison. In the mean while, however,
they had concerted plan of escape
Arabella persuaded female attendant
to allow her an opportunity to visit her
husband once more before she was re-
moved to her new prison. Touched by
her entreaties, the woman consented, and
even assisted in dressing her in the dis
guise of man. Accompanied by gen.
tleman she proceeded to neighboring
inn, where they took horses and contin-
ued on their journey. At the break Of
day they reached the vessel which was to
convey the husband and wife away from
their prosecutors.
Here terrible disappointment awaited
Arabella; her husband had not arrived !;
to remain was danger, to go without him
impossible. In vain she urged delay; she
knew that he would come; liberty, life
indeed was valueless to her without
him.
He did come, but it was too late-Ara-
bella had sailed. Almost frantic, the un-
happy man attempted to follow the ves-
sci in the far distance. He was destined
not to join the woman he loved so we'll !;
but the boatin in which he entered took him
to Flanders, and thus their paths were
divided.
When their escape was known couriers
were dispatched after the fugitives. Ara
bella had hoped, day by day, that the
husband, dearer TO her than life, would
have joined her. Restlessly and anxious
ly she paced the vessels deck, straining
her eager eyes to catch glimpse of his
sail. Still he came not; and again she
found herself prisoner and on her way
to England, having been overtaken in
Calais roads
Sick at heart and despairing, she en-
tered once more the dreary gates of a
prison. She dropped, and her body grew
as sick as her mind. The blow of that
heavy disappointment had been too much
for her, and she was crushed. She cared
not to live, and refused all medical ad-
vice, and, day by day, body and mind
grew weaker together, until only sad
wreck of Lady Arabella Seymour re-
mained. Four years of close and hope
less captivity terminated her wretched
life and set her spirit free 10 roam at lib
erty in the fields Of light,
Seymour was more fortunate; he was
pardoncd, returned 10 England, and was
married. But the memory Of his first
love clung to him, and when his daughter
was born he gave her the beloved name
Of Arabella Stuart.
