only q bold venture on my part.
IL am not crying" returns my sister,
in q choking voice. eff Trevor loves
me so little that he can leave me forev-
er because / committed an act of folly,
he isn't worth crying about. Perhaps
if he had known how my conscience had
pricked me all day, and how 1 had re-
solved never to go out with those hor-
rid people again, he wouldn't have been
SO hard on me-"
cit is too late now,"I say, watching
Trevor's shadow. "After all, dear, he
was too exacting, you'll find some one
more kind and considerate, and learn
to forget him.
"Never!" replies my sister, indignant
ly. "If you had ever been in love, you
would know that such a thing is impos-
sible. You have no feeling, Adeline."
"Darling!" this expression does not
come from me, but from Trevor, who,
leaping through the window, clasps
SusetSa in his arms. l am about to re-
tire from the room, when Trevor, still
holding my sister in his embrace, takes
my hand and lifts it to his lips.
"Addie," he says, 81 shall never for
get the service you have done me-"
"Was it a plot between you?" asks
Susetta, struggling to free herself.
Trevor stoutly denies this, and so do
|, and Susetta appears satisfied. But
in her own mind [ fancy she still has
her doubts. | know one thing, she is
always very grateful to me for what I
did that night. If she new all, per-
haps she would be more grateful still.

The Future of the Trotting Horse.

The Chicago Horseman publishes a
carefully written paper prepared by
Gen. j. S. B~rlsbine, United States
army, reviewing the trotti ling perform
ance of American horses during the
past forty years. The paper gives in
teresting "reminiscences of Lady SUI
folk, Flora Temple, Dexter, Goldsmith
Maid, Rarus, st. Julien, Maud S. and
Jay.Eye-See, and criticises their rec
ords. Gen. Br1sbin thinks neither
Maud S. nor Jay-Eye-See will reduce
their records this year. but believes new
horses will appear on the turf and that
tho record will be reduced three or
four seconds possibly from 2.O0a to LOG.
The, general thinks the increased speed
of American trotting horses is'due man
ly to better breeding. better training
better driving, improvements in bits
and improved tracks aud sulkies. He
says our tretters will ultimately attain q
speed of a mile in two minutes, and
that We will probably reachi it within the
next ten years.

The New Postage Law.

The Post Office Department has re.
ceived inquiries from all quarters as to
the new legislation in the Post Office
Appropriation bill. 1t is not possible,
on account of the changes made in con.
ference, to ascertain what the changes
as to postage were until the bill had
been officially printed. A certified copy
of the bill, furnishes by the State De.
partment, has just been received from
the Government Printer. The follow.
ing are the important changes which
will take effect, beginning with July /,
1885:
1. The weight of all single rat.
letters is increased from one-hali
ounce each or fraction thereof
to one ounce each or fraction thereof.
The same increase of weight lie
allowed for drop-letters, whether mail.
ed at stations where there is a free de-
livery or where carrier service is not
established.
2. All newspapers sent from the Of
fee of publication, including sample
copies, or when sent from a news agen-
cy to actual subscribers thereto, or to
other news agents, shall be entitled to
transmission at one cent per pound or
fraction thereof, the postage to be pre-
paid. This is a reduction of one-halt
from existing rates.
3. Any article in q or
other publication may be marked for
observation, except by written or print
ed words, without increase of postage.
4. That a special stamp of the value
of 10 cents may be issued, which when
attached to a letter in addition to the
lawful postage thereon, shall entitle the
letter to immediate delivery at any
place containing 1000 population or
over, according to the Federal census
within the carrier limit of any free
delivery office, or within mile of the
post office, or any other post office COM
ing within the provisions of this law,
which may in like manner, be designat-
ed as a special delivery office; that
such specially-stamped letters shall be
delivered between 7 o'clock a. nj. and
midnight; that a book shall be provided
in which the person to whom the letter
is addressed shall acknowledge it's re-
ceipt; that messengers for this special
delivery are to be paid so per cent. of
the face value OF all the stamps received
and recorded in a month, provided that
the aggregate compensation paid to any
n person for such service shall not
exceed $50 per month; and provided,
further, that the regulations for the de.
livery of these specially-stamped letters
shall in no way interfere with the
prompt delivery of letters as provided
by existing law and regulations.
These are all the provisions of the
new law which make changes in rela-
ton to postage. The Government has
doubled the weight which may be car
ried for 2 cents, has reduced the post,
age one-half on newspapers sent from
publication Offices, and has provided
that q letter, for 10 cents additional, ma,
be Immediately delivered by specia
messenger at any time between7 o'clocl
in the morning and midnight. Tht
friends of this special-stamp feature
expect that it will materially add to tn,
revenue.

were not for the sweet faces of young
girls with their piquant sayings and
melting smiles.
After you have reached twenty. it
would be we'll to consider the matri-
monial problem with some seriousness.
Then if you have learned to think and
deliberate you will probably make q
suitable selection, and marriage with a
worthy man is not only a woman's priv
ilege, but unless married too Young.
her best and highest development,
mental and physical, can be attained in
this state. Men and women were made
for each other, and o very old
but nevertheless true truism is
that happy marriage is the
very Garden of Eden. An unhappy
marriage is the reverse and the greatest
of all calamities that can befall a pure,
atfectionate, and noble woman. Faith
in God, and a strong resolve to do every
duty, can alone keep such a one from
absolute despair. Miss Braddon says:
"A goo' woman who does not love her
husband makes the best wife" If this
IS true it is because she is controlled by
duty instead of the changing caprices of
affection. "Trouble in til, flesh" will
come to every married couple. Why
not accept it? The most wretchei
married people I have ever known
We're Always quite willing and
eve anxious to see their children set
tied for life in marriage, knowing that
they would find shelter and protection
thereby, if not in the affection, Mt least
by the la%, which compels the husband
to support his wife, q support perhaps
meager enough and %grudgingly be-
slowed. Look around on all your
friends, married or single, and ask
yourselves the question, which is the
preferable lot. If you are strong
enough to fight alone the battle of life,
to earn your own bread and butter, YOU
are just in the condition to gain the re-
spect. at least, of q husband, and, hav-
ing a hearty, genuine respect, admira-
ton and love are not far distant, The
truth IS, dear girls, too many enter
this holy condition, hoping to find it is
only ease, adulation, and pleasure.
Such persons will find the reverse
Of what they seek. Read Jenny
sons Princess" Had not he the true
conception Of happiness in this condi-
ton?
A man must be bad, indeed, that can
treat with disrespect q woman who re-
spects herself. As q rule a good woman
will make a good home-we know of ex-
ceptions to this, however. But if YOU
Lave made up your minds to follow the
bent of your own wills and pave q way
for yourselves, You may do we'll; but to
those who intend to enter the married
state, should a good opportunity come to
them, I have only to say, see to it that
you individually understand what is re.
quired of you as a wife. Be willing to
make concessions at any time if in the
wrong, and, above all things, don't find
fault with your husband before others.

Deep P~loughing.

The Kansas Farmer contains the fol-
lowing: when we pulverize the
soil deep the warm air, which is
full of moisture, penetrates down
and all through it, and the ground
being cooler than the air, condenses the
water into drops which answer in place
of rain; so the deeper and the more we
%pulverize it the more moisture it will
collect from the air. Not only that,
but as warm air is rich in food for plants
it serves in place of manure, too.
Thirty years ago there was a terrible
drought in the east. Prof. Mapes a large
market gardner, had had his ground un-
derdrained and SUBSIDIZED, and his crops
where he could, were cultivated with a
subsoil pillow. A committee went to
see his place after nile weeks of drought
and it found everything as 1ourishing
as if there had been plenty of rain. His
corn (it was the Sd of September) was
estimated at ninety bushels to the acre.
while on land cultivated in the usual
way, near by, it was all burnt up.
While l do not think deep blowing is
everything, still I think deep and
thorough pulverizing of u land will
lessen the effects of q drought"

Good and Bad Roads.

Professor Sanborn, of the Missouri
Agricultural College, points out the close
relationship between miserably crooked,
hilly and soft roads and the losses in
farming, inclusive of the cruel wear and
tear and premature decay of teams,
breaking of vehicles necessity of drag
ging slowly small jags into market, the
value of which is largely absorbed by
the expense of delivery. Contrast these
discouraging conditions with those prev
alent in much of Europe over whose
solid thoroughfares immense loads are
more easily carried, and it will readily
be seen that the economic Importance
of good roads can hardly be placed too
high:
From the above tests the traffic
that will warrant o $4,000 outlay per
mile of unimproved roads may be APP
proximately estimated. If by prop
erly grading our hills and graveling
our roadbeds we "a double the freight
carried per team, we could, on the
basis of fifteen miles per day for a load
ed term costing 50 per day, save the in
terest of this cost at 6 per cent. in the
passage of 600 loaded teams one way"
But the commercial view is not the
only one, nor, indeed, the most import
ant. Good roads are as necessary to
comfortable living rs good houses, or
good suits of clothes, or o thousand 9TH
err things which our civilization demands,
and which cannot be measured by
money. AS a medium of social fellow
ship and culture Macaulay did not
overestiDlate their value when he said:
every improvement OF the means of
locomotion benefits man intellectually,
materially, and not only facilitates the
interchange ofthe various productions Of
Nature and Art, but tends to remove ma
tional and provincial antipathies. Of
all inventions, the alphabet and printing
press alone excepted, those inventions
which bridge distance have done most
for the civilization of our species"
But while it stands as a fact III history
that the character Of country roads is one
of the most certain indications of the CIV
ilization of any people, there are persons
who will be more influenced by an appeal
to the pocket, and therefore we conclude
with another excerpt from Professor
Sanborn's pen bearing directly upon that
phase of the important question:
"Itmay be safely said that the culture,
power and wealth of our farmers may
be more rapidly advanced in the future
by good country roads than by an extern
sion of our railroad system; that the val
ue OF II farms, the economy of their
management and the character of our
social farm life a1enow more dependent
upon the character of our roads than up
on any single factor. and that q strong
organized public movement should be
made for their permanent improvement.
[ invite especial attention to the great
expenditure Of force required on poor
roads for the accomplishment OF a mod
crate amount of work; to the danger of
overlooking on them while the appear
ance of the load indicates an easy demand
on the horse ito the value of broad wheels
for farm work, and 10 the commercial
Importance of better roads"
