She Was All Business.

There is in Washington young type
writer whose good looks and charming
manners Justify the sentiments which her
employer feels toward her. He is i'll the
habit of debating his correspondence while
her expert fingers transtix the words as he
utters them. The other morning he con
cuded to end the uncertainty which had
come into existence by asking her
to marry him. She was engaged
on some copying when he approached
her and poured out his sentiments.
and Notwithstanding the warmth Of
his pleadings, kept right ahead with the
clickety, click click of the instrument. In
fact, she paid so little attention to him that
he became discouraged and left the room,
intending to speak to her when her mind
was free from her duties. He went to his
lunch, and on his return sat down to sign
lot of letters that lay on his desk. There
was IL large pile, aud he went through 1t
mechanically until he struck sheet near
the bottom. Jumping to HIS feet he simply
exclaimed: We'll I'll be blowed" The

SaWduSt.

There is evidently great need for a new
inYention for the cheap and easy utiliza-
tiOn of sawdust, and if inventive people
would study the subject doubtless some
thing practical might be realized In Can
ada the depositing Of sawdust in the rivers
il forbidden by law Recently there was
a conviction and filming Of a prominent
mill owner, at Peterboro, for deposi ting
sawdust and mill refuse in the 0tonabee
River, in contrayention TO the regulations
of the department. Mr.. Irvine, the de
fendant in the ease. was fined $50 and
costs or twenty days Imprisonment. In
rendering Judgment, the magistrate said
that the evidence showed that large quau-
titles of sawdust escaped from the defend
ants mill into the 0tonabee River, which
river contained valuable fish and was nav
gable for steamers. 1t was well known,
be said that the mill refuse from the Pet
erbOro mills for The past forty years had
been freely emptied into the river, and
that for twenty miles below the town the
banks of the river were lined with accu-
mutations of sawdust, and that at the de-
trenehment into Rice Lake the mouth was
almost entirely closed. II is understood
that the government has instructed its in
speotors to rigidly enforce the sawdust
regulations.

Another hand ia reckoning US,
Another call is given,
And glows once more with angel step
The path which reaches heaven.
Cur young and gentle friend, whose smile
Made bright the sammer hours,
Amid the bright and sunny day
Has left Us With the flowers
No paline of the check of bloom
Forewarnel Us Of decay;
80 shadow from the silent land
Fell round our darlings way.
The light Of her young life went down,
As sinks behind the hill
The glory Of setting star
Clear. suddenly and still.
As pure and sweet, her fair brow seemed
Eternal as the sky,
And like the brooks low song, her voice
A sound which could not die
And half we deemed she needed not
The changing Of her sphere
To give 10 heaven shihihG one
Who walked an angel here.
The blessings OF her quiet life
Fell on US like The dew.
And good thoughts when her footsteps
pressed,
Like fairy blossoms grew
Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds
Were in her very look;
We read her face as one who reads
\ true and holy book.
We miss her in her home tonight,
And by the hearth fires light;
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet good night"
There seems "A shadow On the day,
Her smile no longer cheers,
A dmming of the stars at night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers will,
One thought has reconciled;
That He whose love exceedeth ours,
Hath taken home his child.
Fold her, Father, in thine arms.
And let her always be
\ messenger of love between
Our human heart and Thee.

An Unexpected Bill.

\ few days since we'll dressed couple,
in the prime of lie, stopped at a hotel in
the city, and, sending for sending for JUS
tice of the Peace, informed that function
airy that they wished to be married. The
Justice said, "All right" and inquired
their names After being told, it struck
him that he had performed the same ser
vice for the lady some years since. Upon
inquiring if such was not the case, the lady
said she had been married previously.
Have you bill from your former hus-
band?" asked Mr.. Justice. "Yes, she re-
piled, II have a bill. This being satisfac-
tory, the ceremOney was performed and
the couple were declared ''man and wife"
As they were about departing, the Justice,
who had never seen bill OF divorce, and
having strong desire to behold the docu-
ment, thought this an excellent oppor-
tunity to satisfy his curiosity; therefore he
said to the lady, Have you the bill with
you}" "0h! yes" she replied. Have
you any objections to allowing me to see

calling to little boy some three OF four
years of age, she said, Here, Bill, come

THE STORAGE OF ROOT CROPS.

The difficulty OF conveniently storing
large crops Of roots has assisted in deter
ring farmers from growing roots extensive
ly for winter The methods Of storing
roots at present differ but little from those
in use for many years in the past. As the
farmer cannot anticipate the mildness or
severity of the winter he IL liable TO make
mistake in storing, as both heat and cold
must be guarded against, as the temPera-
ture cannot well be regulated. One ad-
vantage of silage is the ease with which II
can be stored and kept during winter, as
compared with roots, but the use OF silage
and roots have their appropriate places in
the list of foods. They in no manner con
flict, but ON the contrary add to the variety
of food, and better promote the thrift of
stock at season OF the year when green
food cannot easily be obtained.
When beets, carrots, parsnips, potatoes
or turnips are stored in bins the farmer can
use them with convenience, but the cellar
OF barn that permits Of the keeping beets
or carrots may not be well adapted for po-
tatoes as the former can endure more or
less freezing, but any sudden change OF
temperature, which permits of higher de-
gree is sometimes injurious. To avoid this
it has been found of advantage, in some
portions of the West, to pack the roots IN
layers, in bins, using sand, or clean dry
dirt for filling the spaces between the
roots This prevents sudden changes in
the bin; and permits the use of the crop as
required by removing the earth as the roots
are taken out, but even this method de-
pends ON the dryness of the cellar or barn.
To store roots in the ground for winter by
covering with earth is to seal them up by
the frost at time when they may be re-
quired, yet farmers store roots in that man
ner. and successfully. This should be no
reason. however, for refraining from the
use of some plan by which roots can be
taken from the general store for use with
ont danger Of loss from frost of those that
| remain.

To increase the number To four with capacity

In addition to the building Of the mill a,
least two large tenement houses will be
