the entire field was plowed and planted

Happy Influence OF a sre.t spcctnc.

For the preservation or recovery of health
and strength, the diet should be wholesome
and nutritious. When it happens that the
alimentary processes are disturbed by i'm
proper or half masticated food, the best
remedy for the evil results of abusing the
digestive organs is Hostetter's Stomach Bit

remedy for dyspepsia, and for the bilious
and evacuative Irregularities which result
from it. The liver and bowels, in common
with the stomach, experience its benefcent
influences. The refuse of the system is carr
ried off through its natural outlet, a healthy
flow and secretion of the bile is promoted,
and powerful impetus is given to assimila-

they are inactive, and by its tonic and reg

THE SHADOW OF FATE.
By JUDGE JARVIS.

A rider was threading his way over
road which lay along the hills at the base of
the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the region
known as the Piedmont of Virginia, about
the sources of the Rappahannoek river
The man himself might be described in the
same language, as far as it would apply. Be-
yond this his age wss.about twenty-three, his
hair brown and full in lock, his eye of gray
ish blue.
His way quickly brought the traveller. to a
stream now running over its banks. Slipping
easily from his saddle, he frightened the
girths, slackened the crupper, and, gently
patting his animal, addressed few affection
ate words to him. Remounting, he fixed
himself firmly in the saddle, gathered his
bride in manner TO impart to his compan-
ion his own energy and determination, and
moved into the creek.

CHAPTER II.

We were merry party round the
luncheon table at the lodge, for Richard
Polwhele was accustomed to keep
Christmas right royalty, and, besides
his own family, nephews and nieces of
every degree and friends from far and
near were gathered around his hospita-
Dle board. Luncheon being ended, a
discussion aIose as to how we should
employ the interval before the impor-
tant hour OF dinner, the dinner, which
was to be the browning glory of the
Christmas festival. Some one sug-
gested skating, and the idea was at
once hailed with reclamation. Poll
worthy pool, a piece of water almost
within stones throw of the lodge, was
frozen over, and afforded a capital skating
ground. Every available pair Of skates
was speedily in requisition. There was a
general rush for great-coats. seal-skin
jackets, mufs, furs, warm gloves and
WOODEN comforters. Uncle Dick was led
captive by a couple OF pretty nieces, one
of whom took possession of each arm !;
and, locking like a miniature Arctic ex-
petition, we sailed forth to the pool.
The fun was at its height when Sir
Philip Trefusis and his daughter were
seen approaching. No one noticed them
till they were fairly on the ice, and then
we saw with alarm that thew were close
to a spot where the ice had been broken
on the previous day for the convenience
of certain ducks and geese who were the
regular inhabitants of the pool, and which,
though now again frozen over, would
certainly not bear the weight of a human
being. Uncle Philip was the first to per-
c I'VE their danger.

importance urge me to lose no time, and

events, without, however, throwing any

After few more remarks were passed,
the squire babe his son Eddie conduct the
gentleman to his room and see him well pro-
vided for the night.
After the traveller had left, the vagrant
still fingered. Shifting his hat restlessly
but mechanically, he seemed to resume
conversation which hal probably been in
terrupted by the stranger exit from the
stable.
