In the pacing race there were only two
starters, F. B. Heseton's b. IN. Gypsy
Queen and Harry Murch, Waterville b. G.
Ned. These horses were very evenly
matched and gave an exciting race, which
belonged to no one until finished. The
first heat was won by Ned and the last
three by Gipsey Queen, time, 24S, 2.4S,
2.46, and 2 81 respectively.
An unfortunate accident occurred in the
Sd heat of the 2 81 class, by reason of
which Mr.. Nelson's sulkey was demolished
through no fault of his own. Leading
members OF the society join In the opinion
that Mr.. Nelson's course was entirely hon.

sequently arose. "Accidents are liable to

A wild cry left her lips. Dead OF

and senseless on the ground.
Without look of pity, Vernon
glanced down on the marble face, and
the pallid lips now fecked with blood,
then turned and left her there till others
found her.
They carried her home, but the doc

when he struck the water, and the
wound was scarcely even dangerous.
Then she turned to Hester.
"Hester, I led that gypsy woman tc

Vernon"
Her breath came short and labored,
and gray shadow fell over her face.
"Guy-Guy-l-1- All, God

The next instant she was pleading
before the throne.
One year later Hester and Guy were
married, and they never speak Cleta'a

willingly remembered, save by Hester,
whose gentle heart cannot think but
with pity of the beautiful, Sustained

Vernon Singleton never came near

he passed from their lives forever; then

With golden hair,
To me all little heads
A halo wear;
And for one sanity face I knew
All babes are fair.

Which looked with yearning gaze
Ny sad soul through,
All eyes now fill mine own with tears
Whate' er their hue.

Which once did call
My name in plaintive tones,
No voices fall
Upon my ears in vain appeal
From children small

TO clasp each baby hand stretched on
In fear Of foe.

How to.Cure Hams /,
New Hampshire Farmer.

New Hampshire Farmer.
The process Of sugar curing hams is
as follows: The hams are trimmed and
rubbed with salt and left to drain on
bench for day and night. They are
then wiped dry and packed in a clean
barrel, and each one is rubbed. with salt
as it is put down. They are packed as
closely as possible. A pickle is made
as follows: For each hundreds pounds
of meat. seven pounds of SALT. two and
one-half pounds of brown sugar, and
two ounces of saltpeter are dissolved
in hot water, and the liquid is boiled
for short time, being skinned ii nee
essary. It., is then. cooled. and when
cold is strained into the barrel
through doubled cloth ON to the
meat. The meat should be, kept three
inches under the pickle. It is best to
head up the barrel and pour the pickle
through a hole in tn lead, and then
cork it tight. Otherwise loose head
should be put on the meat and weighted
down., and cover put on the top of the
barrel After two months the hams
may be taken out, we'll wiped and
rubbed with ground black pepper and
then smoked. A very neat and conven-
lent way to favor meat with smoke is
to smoke the barrel and then pack the
meat in it in such pickle as you choose
This saves much trouble and the raeat
is as good for home use but it lacks the
color which takes IN market. Make a
fire on the ground and pile on some
meadow hay or straw and turn the bar
rel over the FIRE which it will smother
and the smoke will be dense and pene-
trating. Repeat this three times day
for few days and wipe out the barrel
with cloth and 1t is ready for use.

when I gave it to Mrs. last night to

thing. Two weeks time just wasted. :"
'''How so? returned the other. 'You

This concoction is then carefully

Sometimes champaign is substituted for

this punch is served will hold as much

She was mistress of her uncle's
wealth and wife of the man she adored.
She knew her husband did not love

he would learn to love her. She must

Yes, she had triumphed; but did the
memory of the man she had sent before

Hester bore her pain in silence. If
gentle, she was far from weak, and
though her face grew paler; her eye
more dreamy, none dreamed of the
weary days and wakeful nights that
were hers. She had loved Guy with all
