an involuntary moan, he thought OF Sharp,
that man whom he had pronounced a wolf
in sleeps clotning. And finally he remem-
bered how, the morning Of July /, he had
received that little note which blighted all
his hopes and drove him from Alice's side
Just when he arrived at this point a voice
which he recognized as that of Miss Talka-
tive was heard below.
Bursting through his door he rushed
downstairs, but stopped ere he entered the
parlor, for a voice which he had good cause
to remember reached him.
"Shall we 60 to him?n Alice was saying
81 thought Iheard him in the hall said
Miss Talkative's voice. and the owner inn
mediately opened the door, and Alice saw
her former lover with pale face and
naughty attitude.
"0h, Mr.. Jamisonm she cried 'What do
you mean by this?" and she thrust before
him his note.
"What do mean?n herepeated ~ mean

ones affections trified with without one

What is the meaning of this?" and she
thrust before him crumpled note

to leave, and you will probably never see
me again am q married man, and shall
return to my wife, GEORGE JAMsoN."

sort of way.

said George. ''The day left, July /, re-
ceived a note from you telling me you had
been playing with my love and that you
were going to marry Mr.. Sharp
II never wrote it. How lucky did not
marry himl" exclaimed Alice, and in mo-
ment more the two lovers were in each
others arms.
"But about the letter. said Alice.
where did that come from?"
ut is enough for me that it effected our
reconciliation, care not who sent it y an
swered George.
Miss Talkative had stood by, happy
spectator, but now her practical sense
showed itself, and she said:
"You have both been deceived, undoubt-
edly by that man Sharp Why should not
Mr. Jamison take his place in the ceremony
this afternoon?n
This led to more explanations, and
George almost tainted when he realized
that Sharp had been so nearly successful.
But he did take Sharp's place In the cere-
mony, and that gentleman has never been
seen by either George or Alice from that
day to this.
Miss Talkative kept her secret of the
anonymous letter, but never ceases to con.
gratulate herself on her lucky curiosity
And every time the Fourth of July comes
around Mr.. and Mrs Jamison have a cele-
bration at home T. c. GRAHAM.

The Necessity of Keeping the Tubers Free
From Weeds and Grass.
Potatoes will not do we'll on very poor
land. They want rich light soil. Il
the soil is not so by nature it must be
made so by cultivation. With potatoes.
as with other crops, the weeds and
grass must be kept out to get the best
results. Some fail in securing satisfac-
tory results by completing their work
too soon. They will have them cleaned
out and hiiled up nicely and then leave
them to work in their corn before the
tops get large enough to receive the
final hoeing. and in consequence they
are injured by the grass and weeds.

moisture and the potato is failure.
Cultivate the potato as long as it will
do, and not disturb the young tubers.
Usually the tops fall down by this time.

two eyes, commencing at tho root end
and cut downwards. prefer large pos

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.


There is not enough religion in the
world to admit Of the annihilation Of
religions.
In 1888 there were $1,000, 600
Protestants in the world, there are now
1874, 600. OOO
The growth and popularity Of re-
ligious clubs whose main object is the
promotion Of social intercourse is one
Of the interesting signs Of the times.
"A paper prepared by the Maryland
State Progressive Teachers Association
shows that nearly $4,000 colored chill
lren in that State are deprived Of public
educational facilities.
The American Seamen's Friend
Society received the past year $27, 8Ss
and disbursed $S4, 971. Its missionaries
have labored in many lands. and It's
Libraries have been accessible to over
$50, 900 men.
When Dr. Wells Williams went to
Canton, in 1888, there was only one
Chinese convert, and the penalty for
teaching foreigners the Chinese lam
guage was death. Now there are SS,
900 converts.
The growth OF the Christian En-
deavor work in Colorado is wonderful.
In Denver, Colorado Springs and Pu-
eblo, during the past three years the
societies have doubled and redoubled.
while the smaller towns throughout
the State have their full quota Of soc,e-
ties.
The American Baptist missionary
union met in Boston recently The re-
port from the European work brought
out the startling statement thati in Italy

ton can not read. The union in Its
seventy-fve years work has expended
$8, $40 403 for mission work.
The religious condition Of the
French people to-day is thus described
by the Rev. A. F. Beard: "You can put
the Bible in every house in Paris and
no one has the power to stop you You
can preach the gospel on the corner
opposite the prison and there will be
no danger Thirty years ago the po-
liceman would have arrested you. Now
he protects you.
The higher education of women is
advancing everywhere. The Cherokee
nation lately dedicated their new fe-
male seminary at Tahlequah with great
reioicings. The building is three stor-
les high, contains more than one hun
dred rooms a chapel and school halls
and recitation rooms, is stsam-heated
and supplied with water-works of its
own, and will have cost. when finished,
5000, 1000 This money comes from the
lease of their lands to the cattle com,
panies.
The annual report of the Freed.
mems Aid and Southern Educational
Society shows that since the society
was organized in 1866 it has expended
in the work of Christian education in
the Southern States $2.091, 903 &C. To
this should be added the endowment
fund OF 5000, 600. The total annual in
come Of the society has increased from
$63, 402 in 1S77-7S to $40, 41S, in 1887
IS. The collections from conferences
have increased about one hundred and
forty-five per cent. Donations outside
the conference collections have in
creased about three-fold.

July-ior you the songs are sung
BY birds the leafy trees among;
With merry carolings they wake
The meadows at the mornings break,
Ana through the day the lisplng breeze
Is woven with their tree-top glees.
For you the prattling, pebbly brooks
Are full OF tales like stOry-books.
For you fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossom-urns
Which tempt the bees TO hasten home
With honey for their honey comb.
The river, hke looking-glass,
Reflects the fieecy clouds that pass,
Until it makes us almost doubt

A Yalre for I1InctrIcIt1.

A device which may be of considerable
value is described by N. Neyreneuf in the
Journal de Physique as an electric valve, by
means Of which the current can be sent ir
one direction but not in the other. With q
voltameter constructed of two aluminium
electrodes, dilute acid as electrolyte, and an
alternating current, he found that pure by.
drogon was evolved at both electrodes, but
on making up an arrangement with one
electrode Of aluminium and one Of mercury,
using distilled water as electrolyta, the cur
rent was found TO pass in one direction only.
