He paused, expe^tpg as a matterof conrae an instant disclaimer from his friend bat, to, his surprise, Glynn hesitated, reddened and, without answering, looked across the, hed|;e of roses down towards the river. In reality, he was in obedience to the telegram in bis pocket, stifling an ardent derire to tell his friend the trath and cease to mas- qnerade in false colours. "Why," exclaimed Garret, watdiing him, and scarcely knowing whether to be offend- ed or not, "you surely don't mean " He stopped suddenly, bewildered. "No, no, Garret, of course; no matter who gets the estate, the Crofts manage it but you know, until the will is read " He stammered and checked himself abmptiy on the very verge of a downright lie, "Oh the will is all right, man 1 Yon may make yonrself easy un tiiat head my father has it safe and sound.

By Jove, what a catch 1 And a beauty you may be sure the Verschoyles are a good-looking family, and I have heard that her mother was something wonderiuL" said Garret cheerfully. Glynn fumed inwardly at this light and careless praise of the lady whom he so loved and honoured, and again he was on the point of confiding in his friend, when again the telegram stopped him. "Yes, ' Garret went on, unconscious of his friend's irritation, "and I've an idea that your uncles quarreled about the same beauty through her the younger in some way thrust the elder out of the property on her account." "Garret," interrupted Glynn suddenly, I wish you would not talk about these thinss now I cannot explain why, but I am really taking an unfair advantage of you if I allow you Well, I suppose your father has settled about the funeral " "Yes," said the other slowly, tiying not to feel offended at this sudden reserve on tke part of his friend, from whom he had never kept a secret since they were children to- gether^"Saturday I believe." "Saturday Well, that will do. I can go to Liverpool and back before then. Corlie in â€" I want my great-coat. I'll go up to Dublin to-nifrht and cross by the morning boat." Garret stopped, stared at his friend for a moment, wheeled round in front of him. and tapped him with an admonishing finger on the breast. "May I ask yod one question," he said, with mock solemnity' "without taking an unfair advantage of myself â€" yes myself and his blue eyes twinkled. "Well, ask it then," said Glynn, with some impatience, for he was not in the mood for chaff. "Do you know on what terms this is left to you?

She obeyed him she wanted no second bidding; it was such an exquisite relief to her to give voice to the desperation in her heart that she felt happy â€" with a wild and stormy happinessâ€" as she spoke. "Go on 1 Oh, do you not know already every word I have to say, every pang I have endured since I read that letter and fell down in an agony compared to which the bitterness of death can be as nothing Have you not felt it also and will you not feel it more and more sharply every day when yourjiassion tor me has gone and you are haunted by the ever-present thought of what you paid for.me I suppose I ought not to say all this â€" ^I ought to accept my fate in silence.

Oh, what am I to do now?" and she pressed her head between her hands and wept convulsively. He looked at her, the red light of the set- ting sun falling upon her trembling form, upon her flushed, tear-stained, degraded "ace and, if her tears had been drops of molten lead falling upon him, they could not have pained him more. Still maintaining a resolute self-control, he said â€" "Yes, for once speak exactly as you feel. Hyacinth. Heaven only knows how we are to live our lives together but, my wife, I trustâ€" I hope that these feelings will leave you, that your young heart will turn to its true happiness, that you will be ashamed and sorry for every word you are speakmg now!"

Lodke notieed a mother who o^||« pracurad these animals for her children, but rewarded or punished them as they treated tiiem well or uL That mother waa iib£?dBly ii^rise, bnt a kind and a tiioughtfnl woman, for this was no other than entering her children early into a daily exercise of fauiaanity and improving their voy diversion to a virtue. I cannot credit a woman with any very great amount of sense or humanily who hands over to a young child a helpUas littie animal and looks on without a word of in- stmction or reproof while the child by turns peta and abusea it. I have not a doubt that if a child of superior size asked for her own littie one as a pet, and, gaining pos- session of it, first carreaaed and then abused it, this same mother would fly to its rescue as would the dog mother or cat to rescue its young if it dared to bnt I expect more of the human mother, and that is some exhibi- tion of reasoning hnmanity tq, distinguish her from the brute. In my own neighbor- hood, as in every one's, Uve sdme of the thoughtiees and indifferent mothersâ€" one I notice as more indifferent than the others she has four or five children, and the victim of their inhumanity is an unfortunate cat, who, in spite of their treatment, is actually fond of them. The mother looks on and sees their sport without a word of remark, and cannot help but notice that the cat's legs are dislbcated and the creature itself thin, tottering and feeble from constant maiding and torment. These children, being allow- ed the full exercise of cruelty to this pet, have bet;un to exercise it to small chil- dren, and this excites the indignation of the several mothers who are uie in- different woman's neighbors. Stoning small infants who happen to be toddling by is a new amuiaementfor this interestin|{ nm- ily of children who have never been re- proved for cruelty. But j ustice comes soon- er or later to pmish ill-doers, and the eld- est of these boys, trying his hand on ston- ing something larger than a cat or a baby, suddenly meets more than his match in the big victim he has selected for his subject the large boy swoops down on him, boxes his ears, and administers other swift ven- geance by taking him by his collar and shaking him thoroughly. Thereupon, the indifferent mother, or, rather, the selfish mother, who feels for her own ofbpring, but feels nothing for another's, brute or hu- man, files into a passion of reproach and anger â€" Aer boy is touched, Aer boy is in- jured. For one, I rejoiced that he should suffer for a moment some of the pains he en- joyed inflicting on others. Here, perhaps, £ was wrong, and yet right. The fault was the mother's, and many future sufferings that will come to her son's lot will be her fault likewise. If mothers would watch carefully and prevent the small beginnings of cruelties to animals and to each other on the part of their children, by reasoning with them and explaining and advising, there would be fewer criminals in the world, for small cruelties harden the heart and pave the way to greater ones. It is not the ten- der-heurted, the kind and the gentle who will fill our jails, but the cruel, the hard and the masterful spirits, who failed of ad- monition and instruction in their infancy and chUdhood. L' ssons of kindness, gentle- ness and humanity are never lost on the young mind, which is ever ready to receive them neither are lessons of evil, which are received quite as readily. hlBd 1 ttoaofi tt, aadaak* a om* of I to go o«ir fha tob sod kiMB the flam; fimn â€" ~r*^ I^ wei lonBa In 'an ovaa to bakvirakb a littia waAsr in the bottom, aai let it cook slowly from six to eight hoars.

No water at all must be put inride the bottie, aave ^what may come from waahing the meat off clean. The «nence of chicken is extracted in the same maimer, and in some cases is as valuable a resource as the beef, for restoring exhausted strength.

Fbied Chickek. â€" .Get chickens about three months old, and be sure that they are fat, for nothing is more indifferent food than a pioor scrawny fowl, especially when served in this fashion. Cut them up. as for a fri- casse. in quarters, so that each person may have a p»tion of the flesh of the fowL Dredge the pieces very well with flour, and sprinkling them lightiy with salt, pnt them to dry in a good quantity of boiling lard. They sfibuld be only of a fair light brown when down, not black and burnt-looking. Fry small pieces of musK, and lay them on tiie bottom of the dish in which the chickens are to be served. Prepare also plenty of nicely picked curled parsley, with which to ganush the dub. For a gravy boil halt a pint of rich milk, and add to it a small bit of butter, with pepper, salt, and chopped parsley for seasoning. Stew it a little, and serve with the chicken, hot, in a gravy boat.

Have a stew-pan on the fire with a pint of hot water boiling in.it add a tea- sponful of salt, and stir in the meal, a little at a time, until it looks thick enough not to run. Do this as eaHy in the morning as you can, and spread it to cool in a large fiat dish. The cakes may be cut square or round; but if set aside for some hours they lighten and fry much better. In Virginia mush is invariably served with fried chick- en, and farther South.it is a favorite substi- tute for vegetables in scarce seasons. My Method For Making Bread- In cold weather the flour should be warm- ed. Dissolve one cake of compressed yeast in one cup of warm water use flour enough to make a stiff batter, pnt it in a quart bowl, and when it raises fiu it is ready to use. Five quarts of flour salted to suit the taste, two quarts of new milk scalded, and when nearly cool, mix with a spoon. Very 'early in the morning stir it down, and in about an hour after, mould it and put in the baking pans set it on the mantel of er the stove turning the pans aroimd occasionally. When the pans are full turn out and mould each separately, putting back in the pans, and when well raised, bake. In notdding ns' iust as littie flour as pos- sible to keep it i i stickingâ€" by working qoisk there will be littie necessity. Be very careful and not have the water too warm that the yeast is mixed with, also the milk should be cooled until lukewarm, and do not set the bread where it is too warmâ€" better be a little longer raising it. If half water is used instead of milk, I use a larg^ mixins spotm full of shortening. In very cold weather I mix my bread by 5 p.m. In hot weather I use the cup of warm wa- ter to mix the yeast but do not use the milk or water warm for mixing the flour and.mix aa late as eight or nine p.in. I do not cover uptight while raising, merely lay a cloth over. There is a great difference in flour, you notice. I mix mine with a spoon just as stiff as I can, with some brands it would take oKHre flour to make a stiff dough. My baking pans are made of Russia iron, 5^ in. wide, 8i in. 16ng and 3^ in. deep. My loaves when baked are at least 7 in. high and 7 in. wide on top. Witii a coal fire it takes about an hour to oake them with wood leas time. I have used my pans fifteen years and they are aa good as new. I turn my Inread quite often wh^ baking to have tiie loaves even. Always batter the top aftw taking out of the oven to make the cruse soft. I«t it stand a few minutes, then turn oat on- a board, never on a cloth, as warm bread will take the odors Irom doth. The next day my bread is placed in a stone pot and I never have any tionUe about its being too dry. A hard wood board ia better than sen.
