such beautiful face to be hid away in place
which is SO seldom visited"
Mr.: Durant glanced up with preoccupied
look. but as his eye rested on the picture, with
sudden darksning of his usually calm face,
and with lowering brow, he caught it from
Agnes and threw it across the room
Then seeing by his wife's pallor that he had
startled her, he Gained himself by supreme
effort, and said: 1T is through your igno-
rance OF my past Agnes, that You have given
me such wound. That picture represents nv
daughter Grace. Her very existence cost tho
life of her fair young mother, and when at last
forgave her tbatdeb1, and gave her the warm
est place in my benumbed heart, she deserted
me Tor stranger, and again I was desolate
me again, Agnes. I have to depend upon
your love and sympathy. Do not dissppoint
me-"
Agnes stood for an instant minute SURPRISE
longing but not daring to plead for forgiven ess
for the discarded child of whose existence she
had now heard for the first time.
1t seemed go cruel for her to be enjoying
the beautiful home of her noble hearted
husband, while his daughter was an exile from
But Agnes had tho raro gift of patience. So
she said nothing until she could see the way
clear not to injure the cause of the absent one
But from the time when her husband first
disclosed to her the carefully guarded secret
at his heart, she determined to eventually Of
feet reconciliation.
By inquiries she learned the whole bitter
truth. Grace Durant had fallen in love with
the son of Mr.. Durant's bitter enemy, and
hopeless of gaining her fathers consent to
their marriage, had yielded to the entreaties of
the young lover and had made clandestine
match with him. He had lived but a few
years, and then had left his darling to battle
with the world, and to try and wrest living
from it for herself and her boy baby
Surely Agnes had something to work upon.

THE CHARACTER OF THE MARtH
AND APRIL SUCCEEDING A VERY
COLD OR A VERY WARM
WINTER.


What sort OF weather in the months
of March and April are we likely to
have after an intensely cold winter or
very mild winter is question that
has great practical interest to the ag-
riculturist. As q matter OF course this
cannot be determined with exact and
mathematical accuracy, but does not
experience reveal something of value
in regard to the probabilities, upon
which we can to some extent rely
In the tables below l have given the
IL coldest winters in Missouri (not in
Guiding the last, which is the re,y cold
esO, with the character of the follow
ing March and April; also the II
warmest winters with the character of
the succeeding two months. The tenn
peratures of the winters are given,
which can be compared with the aver
age winter temperature placed above
the list, while the character of the sue
ceeding months is designated by the
terms. very cold, cold, cool, normal,
warm and very warm. DR.. Engel-
mans st. Louis record is used, since
we have no other sufficiently extensive,
to be made available for this investiga-
ton.
The average mean temperature OF

1873 degrees, SO that it will be readily

SOME QUEER GIRLS.

"They do have some queer girls
down in Boston, that's fact" observ-
ed a. traveller from New England.
"The last time was in Boston, at the
house of a friend, met a Young lady
there who struck me as a type of her
kind. We were to have chicken for
dinner, and my friends wife asked the
young lady to step into the kitchen to
see what a nice fat fowl she had.
Would you believe it? That Boston
girl inquired, is it dressed? p and on
being told that it was not she modestlv
refused to 60 into the kitchen. That
very night that girl, who is a medical
student, went to the dissecting-r room
and helped in the work. These Boston
girls break me all up"

An examination of the tables reveals
the fact that March was very cold, cold
or cool eight times, and very warm or
warm times, after the very cold
winters. 1t was therefore colder than the
average twice as often as it was warm
er than the average. In the next table
we find that March was warm or very
warm times and very cold only once,
the remaining three in the list being
normal, and therefore neither cold nor
warm.
When we turn to the character of
the Aprils, we..find that after the cold
est winters, there were Aprils that
were either cool, cold or very cold, and
4 that were warm or very warm, being
the same proportion afforded by
March; and after the warmest winters
there were that were warm or very
warm, and only that were cool, cold
or very cold, two in the list being nor
NAL.
In the cold winter list we observe
that only 5 of the cold Aprils cores
pond with a cold March, and in tho
warm winter list 6 of the warm
Aprils correspond with warm
March.
CONCLUSIONS.
l. After q very cold winter the
month of March is twice as likely TO
be cold as warm.
2. After cold winter the month of
April is twice as likely to be cold as
warm.
3. After warm winter the month
of March Is eight times as likely to be
warm IS cold.
4. After warm winter the month
of April is more than twice as likely
to be warm as cold.
5. After a cold winter and cold
March the chances are slightly strong
er that April will also be cold.
6. After warm winter and warm
March it is almost certain (the chances

A NATURAL MISTAKE.
From the Boston Journal. |

A correspondent sends to the Jour
nal the following account of mistake
made by little girl in this vicinity:
She always joins the family in reading
the scriptures during the family deto-
tions, taking her verse in turn. She
easily reads the shorter words, but
needs some help about the longer, but
is always eager to pronounce all the
words herself, and sometimes guesses.
Recently it came her turn to read the
verse; No man can serve two mas
ters, for either he will hate the one and
love the other, or else he will hold
to the one and despise the other. Ye
can not serve God and Mammon." She
made a slight variation at the end, and
finished the verse, eye can not serve
God aud women.
