me at the door. The sight of me had a
strange effect. She began to remember
days before her sorrow She put her
hand to heart, and with great crv fell
at Jansen's feet. Afterwarn she was sane
and begged OF him to let her go away at
once-forever. She thought he must
loathe her. He held her huttering little
hand to his lips while a big tear fell on
their wedding ring.
"You've had a great black wrong, lass;
when have righted that you may go, if
you wish. Until then am your broth
er-nothing higher nor better. [ am

He came away with me, and in the
shop began to whet up hu ge knife.
"The poor little wretch be gone now. y
Jansen referred to that other mans
child. He smiled in an ugly way at the
broad, keen blade of the knife, and
passed his fingers down it caressingly.
"Long ago." he said, speaking with a
bitter taste in his mouth, "Adelaide had
spells of sleep-she could not wake.
She slept in little place in the turret of
her fathers house. He was the curate

Jansen began at the knife again.
"Some one scaled that wall. must
find that man. Then [ will restore
her good name-and [ will leave this

''I will help you" [ said, simply.
He grasped my hand and shut up the
shop and put a huge chair across the
door. He was going out indefinitely. |
went toward the stone-breaker's yard.
His shaft was still, and a thin bit of
steam arose from damp stone on which
the hot sun steamed.
A boy near by rigging line to catch
tad-poles said that Beccord, the mason,
had gone to stop the coping in the third
story of Tyler's mill, where the rocks
had started it. 1t was adangerous steep
place, and Beccord was the only fellow
who could climb and carry mortar. He
had been sailor once in French waters.
I had well-nigh forgotten my own affairs
in this time, but my game was safely
housed at little resort out of Blooms
bury.
At 6 o'clock all the bells in the place
rang sharply, and housewives put on
fresh aprons. met Jansen at the end
of the street leading to the MILL
His looks frightened me. He told me
briefly that he had followed Beccord,
who, looking down from his narrow
parapet, saw terrible knife waiting
him. Whether with intent or from
fright his foot slipped, and with fear
full cry the mason went down into the
brawling race below. 1 dropped into
the cottage after supper. I found JAN
sen and his wife sitting hand in hand in
the porch.
"She be my wife now," he said proud
ly. She won't leave me, but [ know l
am not fit for her. l am a blacksmith {"
She got up and left kiss on his fore
head. "And do you think, my friend
Ugel, that am SO base or ungrateful as
to leave you? Beside, [ have nothing
else. You forgot that your goodness has
made me love you"
Then he held her in his arms until
the pinks were wet with dew. Jane was
scandalized.

AN old preacher used to say that read
ing the Bible was like eating fish. When
he came to hard place he left it and
called it bone. The older he grew the
fewer the bones he found, until when he
came to be an old man, the book that he
used to find as full of bones as herring
was like a hallibut, with only one big
bone in it of Gods incomprehensibility,
and that was in such plain sight that 40
one could stumble over it, and grandly
served its purpose as strong frame
work to keep the sweet, white, nutritious
meat in it's place.

CULINARY GEMS,
INDIAN MUFFINS.

One quart scalded milk and poured
on Indian meal, one pint -four, four
eggs, and little salt.
MILK LEMONADE.
LOAF sugar, one and a half pounds.
dissolved In quart of boiling water,
with half pint of lemon juice, and one
and half pints of milk. This makes a
capital summer beverage.
sARDINE TOAST. II
Place them with some of the oil out of
the box between two plates in hot oven;
when thoroughly hot through place on
toast cut in long slices the length of the
sardine; shake a little cayenne and salt
mixed over them, with gentle squeeze
of lemon. f3#H.
RICH SODA CAKE.
One pound of pulverized loaf sugar,
mixed with three quarters of pound
of sweet butter, the beaten whites of
fourteen eggs and two teaspoonfuls of
cream of tartar sifted with a pound of
flour, and lastly, teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in a teacupful of sweet milk
and strained; bake Immediately.
CHEESE CAKES.
Turn a quart of milk with a spoon
full OF vinegar over the fire; drain the
whey from the curd; rub the latter in a
cloth; add ten eggs, well beaten, with
three-quarters of a pound of butter, and
the same of sugar; flavor with lemon,
nutmeg and rosewater. Lay some puff
paste in your patty-pans, fill them with
the mixture, and bake in moderated
oven.
FARMERS FRUIT CAKE.
Soak three cupfuls of dried apples
over night in warm water; chop slightly
in the morning, and then simmer two
hours in two cupfuls of molasses. Add
two eggs, one cupful of sugar, one cup
full of sweet milk, three-quarters Of a
cupful of butter, one and a-half tea-
spoonfrlls of soda, flour enough to make
rather stiff batter, say one quart; spice
to suit the taste; bake in quick oven.
PRETTY DISH
Apple meringue was the browning
dish of the day. A half dozen medium
sized sour apples were peeled, halved and
cored with sharp edged little spoon or
vegetable SCOOP. They were put into
the oven to bake Oh shallow pan, and
while baking Miss Corson beat the
whites of four eggs, with one heaping
tablespoonful of powdered sugar to each
egg, to stiff froth; when the apples
were done this was dropped over them,
and the whole put back into the oven
for moment till the meringue was of
the faintest possible brown, and the de-
lightful dish was ready.
TO MAKE A SANDWICH.
A savory improvement on the stereo-
typed sandwich when well prepared may
be called delicious. Take some cold
boiled ham, cut up in small pieces, and
pound it well, adding some butter and
grated nutmeg to taste, and little
cream or condensed milk. Fill mould
with the mixture, and set it for half an
hour into moderate oven, then place
the mould for few minutes in hot
water, and turn over the mixture on a
dish. Cover the surface all over with the
beaten whites of some eggs; cut some
bread in very thin slices Invested of the
crust, spread the slices with the mixture
and sprinkle it with capers or picked
nasturtium seeds, then roll the sand
wiches and Gle them with brightribbons.

iionein's Shoes.
[From Temple Bar. ]

The proverbs of people are often
illustrated by, or take their rise in,
stories of a humorous character, and
Arab proverbs are no exception to the
rule Here is an instance: There was q
certain shoemaker named Honein, and
shoes at his shop. The usual bargaining
began, the cobbler asking double the
proper price and the Bedouin offering
half. The son of the. desert, however.
was impatient, and before the proper
mean had been arrived at gave up the

Washington, March 2s.-Gen. Adam
Bredeau has positively declined the po-
sitlon OF charge de affairs at Denmark.
The president will withdraw the nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Mahone's speech was far less sem
sational than his first effort. The DEM

parently SO agreed. at 2:30 Ia was
warmed up and thoroughly defended MIR.
Riddlebergcr, and asserted that MIR.
Johnston was elected because he had no
record, and could again be elected on
the same ground. Interest tagged about
three o'clock. His speech has evidently
strengthened the determination of the
democrats to fight. They consider it an
attack on the entire democratic party,
and especially on the south. They say
they will never allow the election Of Rid
dlcbcrger. feeling very bitter, and even
il Rildlcbcrger should be withdrawn ii
is doubtful ii the democrats would
cease hlibustcring. Messrs. Voor
hees, Brown and others, will answer
Mr.. Malone. Mr.. Voorhees, has been
collecting Mr.. Mahone's history, and viii
make severe speech. The republicans
will fight all summer.

New York, March 25-Brailstreet's says:
The extreme severity of the winter and
the consequent latencss of spring open
ing in the west and northwest have ne
cessarily aroused an eager desire to learn
definitely the agricultural trade and
transportation situation in the regions

the business public, we have obtained
dispatches from correspondents at Clcve-
land Cincinnati, Dayton, Detroit, Grand
