my wife
"Oh, Florence how strange and
yet how glad | am y exclaimed the lit
tie creature, bounding out of her chair,
and giving me loving embrace.
1t was not till years after, when Mrs.
Leigh and Aunt Gussy were dead, and
Ada, then Mrs. Carvasso, was spend
ing an autumn with George and me at
the Larches, that she heard the story of
our first acquaintance, and how the IL
brary at Fair Grove did not witness
Georges first proposal.
My ride to Mostyn was much hap
pier than my ride to Fair Grove had
been. My long-lost lover was restored
to me my heart was at rest and the
only care on my mind was Aunt Gus
sy's rheumatism, which | knew was
periodical and would have its way.
Take care of yourself, for my sake,
Florry," were GEORGES last words; as
the train moved from the station.
Three months from that day Il was Mrs.
Tranceford, and settled at the Larches,
Georges place in Sussex, with Aunt
Gussy in her element, experimenting
the household arrangements, and max
ing pickles and preserves, and when
she died, some years afterward, / very
much missed Eer tall, straight figure
and her mittened hands. George and
l agreed that she had been staunch,
kind friend to us, and we were thank
ful that so true heart had blended
with the story of our lives.

About Terra-Ootta.

The popular knowledge of terra-cot-
ia in America may be said to consist in
greater or less familiarity with such
small objects as the statucttes made in
Italy and in Spain illustrative of the
types and costumes of the people, and
in some general information concern
ing the relics of various ages in the
museum and churches of Europe but
the capabilities of terra Gotta as ma
terial for practical and artistic uses are
little appreciated.
1t is our purpose to show not so
much what has been done in terra
Gotta as what still remains to be done,
and how we can learn the best exam
pies to avail ourselves of the advanta
ges the material offers, especially in
certain classes of art work. The man
ufacture of terra-cotta has been carried
on in some form from the earliest civ
ilization of which we have any record
in fact, much of our knowledge of an
cient history has been derived from
terra-cotta tablets, whose impervious
surfaces have retained the original in
scriptions Tor thousands of years, under
conditions that have caused stone to
crumble away and have corroded metal
until all trace of its having been fash
ioned by human hands has disappear
ed.
Terra-cotta would literally include
everything made of cooked earth,"
from brick to china and porcelain but
what is now understood by the term is
something neither so rough and coarse
| as brick nor so fine as porcelain. 1t is
not an imitation of stone nor substi-
tute for it, but material possessing
distinct advantages and capabilities
subject to the limitations imposed by
the consistency and the processes of
manufacture, which processes have now
| become so exact as to enable us to de-
fine clearly the advantages and disad-
vantages of terra Gotta as compared
with other materials in any particular
undertaking. AS an understanding of
the nature of any material is the first
requisite for it's proper treatment in
design, we shall briefly describe the
various stages OF manufacture, from
the selection of the clay to its final
crystallization in a work of art
The clay selected for terra-cotta is
that composed of silica,e of alumina
and small percentage of IRON, as in
bricks, producing a red color when fir
ed The clay is stacked in sheds until
it is dry it is then ground to fine pow
der, and mixed with powdered old ter
ra-cotta or with ground flint, granite
sand, or other vitriiable substances.
The mixture is then ground with GER
tain small proportion Of water, to OBJ
tain perfectly homogeneous, ductile
modelling clay free from the smallest
air cavities The proportion of water
determines the shrinkage can be relied
upon as one-twelfth.
All objects, whether mere cubes oil
statues, must be hollow, and as nearly
as possible of the same thickness
throughout, as solid object invariably
becomes distorted IN burning, owing tc
the interior being more slowly bakec
than the exposed portions. The dark
er the color required, the harder thu
firing must be, often reaching a whit
heat, or more than ll0O0 f.

that night | locked my door and sat
down to think. How strange this
meeting was How strange that Wal
ter Leigh, Ada's only brother, should
have found such friend in George
But George was not strange to me. He
might have stood still since | last saw
him, for he was not changed at all to
any but the. Of course the tender
speeches were dead forever, the loving
glances had ceased with my folly of
the long ago, when l told him / did
not love him, and thought l meant it,
All, me |! l buried my face in my hands
that night, and wept bitter tears at my
heartless folly, at my ignorant rejec-
ton of priceless treasure-a true
mans heart and then | thanked God
on my knees that | was wiser now, and
that, if had lost husband, | had
gained knowledge of myself, aud true
wisdom-humility and l slept calmly
and peacefully that night, feeling sure
in my heart that, whatever man thought
of me, God had forgiven all my fol
lies.

Preparing for the Garden.

The success of a garden depends
much on its early preparation and
planting in spring. Crops which do
not need putting in till warm weather
arrives, are greatly benefited by the
thorough preparation and pulverizing
and enrichiug the soil 1t is well,
therefore, to apply in winter all the
manure which may be wanted. Pul-
verized 10y frost, and leached into the
soil by rains and melting SHOWS, it will
be worth more than if spread in Jumps
after spring opens and is imper-
fectly intermixed. All new gardens for
vegetables should be arranged for horse
cultivation, by extending the plants in
drills across it from end to end This
will greatly reduce the labor of keep
ing il clean, and the few minutes re-
quired to cultivate it once a week will
be trifling compared with long and
laborious hand labor, The crops will
grow vigorously by keeping the sol
constantly mellow and clean by the
frequent passing of the narrew on,
horse harrow or cultivator, Gardens
which are already laid ont may be modi
fed by Encouragement, so that much
if not most, may be subjected to hors'
cultivation, and the amount of han,
hoeing materially lessened There ar,
many crops which are commonly plant
ed in beds, aud kept clean, if at all
with hand labor, which may be arrang
ed in drills for the purpose,

Endless Labor.

There are to be noticed especially in
publications devoted mainly to the cul-
Uivation of the soil, many impracticable
recommendations which, if carried out,
would doubtless produce heavy yields,
but the labor in effecting them would
be so great as to absorb every idea of
profit For instance, this has Just
struck our eye and is one of many
which we are constantly encountering:
"Plants should be hoed as soon as they
make their appearance through the
soil, aud the soil should be continued
to be stirred aud the weeds destroyed
until they are able to take care of them
selves What nonsense this is Who
could expect to realize any profit fl ON
crop that would require such atten-
ton and labor? There is reason in
all things, and in nothing more than in
the raising of crops upon the farm.
The best farmers will bestow an amount
of cultivation upon their crops that
they will necessarily need to give such
yields as will afford the most profit, all
things considered. When they 90 be-
yond this--and their experience will
give them all the information they
need-they will be throwing away an
amount of time and labor which it
will be impossible for them to cover by
this unnecessary extravaganza.

Small Farms.

There are many farmers who have
so much land they cannot make a liv-
ing on it. When they have learned
that it is not economy to own more
land than they can till in the most
profitable manner, so that it will pay
for the money expended in keeping it
frece from taxes, weeds and other in
cumbrances, they will have solved the
problem of ease in farmers life. The
happiest and thr,ftiest farmers we have
ever known lived on farms of only ten
to one hundred acres--some on farms
of only ten acres, every foot OF which
was made to count. On the other hand,
the farmer who has so many broad
acres that he cannot walk over them
daily where rods of feEce corners are
never cultivated or made of any use,
lives life of anxiety and worry, His
taxes are heavy and his crops light.
He cannot give reasonably thorough
cultivation TO so much land Now, if
the farmer who owns one hundred
acres of land will sell half of it and ex
pend the money received for it in cult
waiting the other fifty, getting blooded
stock and poultry, fertilizers, etc, lie
can make each acre produce as much
as two acres are doing now. His taxes
