 Her words are cold, her eyes arc downcast. She is deeply annoyed with herself for having carried the lily into his presence here. The very fact of having noticed it and spoken to her about 1t has shown her how much im- portance he has attached to her doing so. What will he think of her. He win doubtless picture her to himself sitting weeping and breeding over flower given to her by a man who loves her not, and to whom she has given her love unsolicited.
 Her marked coldness so expresses him that he steps back, and does not venture to address her again. It oc- CUTS to him that she is reserved because of Arthur's presence.
 Presently, Lady Fitz Almont, marsh aling her forces anew, carries them all away to their rooms, soundly rating tho sobbing Lady Gertrude for hex want of self-control.

The bee is on the blossom sheen,
 The bird is on the spray, May turns to view the happy scena And spring has fled away! The sun is high within the skies,
 The forest leaves are grown, Man seeks the shady paradise,
 And summer bright has flowni In heaps the crimson leaflets lie
 Within the wooded wales, Man turns so view the autumn sky, The sky of autumn failsl With storms the dreary lands assailed, And long the cold winds roar; Man schemes of happiness have failed, And autumn is no more Things of this world uncertain are; Of death full certain wel Like winter, death e'er comes before The glorious spring to be!

WISE WORDS.

You laugh at some people; others
at you.
A woman is spoilt after she becomes
jealous.
The apple you mustn't have always
looks the sweetest.
Words hurt more than blows and heal
more than balsams.
Discomfort is the want of self-reliauce;
it is infirmity of will.
Truth sometimes walks slowly. False
hood takes long strides.
People who have nothing to give are
the only cheerful givers.
A lie is one degree worse than the sin
which it tries to conceal.
People do not grow in grace by look
ing at the faults of others.
Love and seasickness can't be we'll de-
scribed. They must be felt.
When trying to outwi: others take cars
that you don't outwit yourself.
We lose the peace of years when we
hunt after the rapture Of moments.
Men philosophize with you in your
distress, but it is the women who con-
sole.
That mans end is easy and happy
whom death finds with weak body and
strong soul.
The best acquaintance man has is the
stranger who knows neither good nor
bad Of him.
The longer a man has been dead the
less positive his friends are that he is
with the angels.
How much the men admire woman
who does not expect man to be better
than men can be.
Many men pride themselves on being
self-made. In some cases the workmen
did not know their business.
When man is near his ninetieth year,
like o'erripe fruit he is liable to fall from
the tree Of life at any moment.
There are too many people in the
church who won't march unless they can
be at the head of the procession.
When an honest man insures the house
in which he lives, his insurance is lot
terry in which he hopes to draw blank.

Cranberry Culture.

The cultivation of cranberries has be-
come one of the most important indus
tries of Cape Cod, Mass, and number
Of those who are engaged in it have
become wealthy through their enterprise
in toe reclamation of formerly worthless
lands and their appropriation to this use.
The original cost of the land used for
this cultivation is about twenty-five
dollars an acre, aud the expense of con-
structing bog is ordinarily not more
than three hundred dollars. A yield of
one hundred barrels of berries to the acre
is not uncommon, and these sell at an
average price of seven dollars aud fifty
cents barrel, while in some years the
price rises to sixteen dollars and over.
AS the cost per barrel for picking is not
much over one dollar and fifty cents and
the commission for marketing not over
eighty cents, it is apparent that the pro-
Queer secures handsome profit.
The gathering of the crop generally
begins about the second week in Septem-
Der. The bog is lined off into rows with
Irvine, and the pickers, men, women and
children of all ages, gather the berries
from the vines, working along the boys
on their knees. Most of the berries are
picked by hand, but machine is some
times used which scoops the berries from
the vines. An average picker with the
hands can gather one hundred and eighty
quarts day, for which he receives three
dollars Frank Lesgies Weekly.

Cocoa Cultivation.

Until within few years the cocoa ex-
ported from Brazil was obtained exclu-
sively from wild trees in the forests, but
recently its cultivation has been systemati.
cally begun. The farming of this pro-
duct is-very simple, involving no more
work than IS necessary to keep down the
weeds. During the first years banana
plants are grown between the rows to
shade the y~ung plants. The trees will
produce on an average after the third
year 200 fruits, with from thirty to fifty
nuts each, and a plantation of $4,000
trees would yield $4,000 pounds of
nuts. A plantation of cocoa trees is an
inheritance for the children Of a family,
as it produces from fifty to eighty years.
The mandloca, or ''manioc," grows every
where in Brazil. From it is made the
tapioca of commerce, and mandioca meal
is the chief farinaceous food of the lower
classes. It affords an excellent starch
for laundry purposes. So prolific is it
that farm of twelve acres will produce
so, 900 pounds of tapioca. The meal is
beautifully white, and in til. interior of
the country it Is the invariable accom-
paniment of black beans and pork On the
