N cbo’.a*. A LOST CHANCE. mem* It was mid-sammer, and Lilian Fct’iruson had never seen a Ldrer scone than the billows of bluo hills that lay stretched out below her, with here and there the U.ish of a half-hidden lake, or the ribbon-like glitter of n tiny river. She stood loaning against tho rustio E ost that Tornied tho support of the ooking ( Hi •<; of tho small rural sta tion, while her modest little trunk and traveling bags were piled up at the rear. . “Don’t fret, miss,” said the station- charming master, porter, and booking clerk com- “ bined, who was bustling in and out “Tho omnibus will be here soon.” “Oli, I am in no hurry for the bus!” said Lilian, pleasantly. “I could stand and look at this beautiful landscape all day.” "Ain’t that strange now?” reflect ively uttered tho official. “We never think about it at all.” “Is the omnibus often ns late as this? ’ said Lilian, glancing at her neat little silver watch. “Not generally,” said the station- master; “but to-day they’re waiting at the Rectory for the deaf-and-dumb gentleman.” “For whom?” said Lilian, in amaze ment. “For tiie deaf-and-dumb gentleman, miss,” explained the station-master. “A cousin of our minister’s. He’s been down hero for treatment; but dear me, there ain’t no treatment can ever do him any good. As deaf as a stone, miss, and never spoke an intelligent word since ho was born. But they do say he’s a very learned man, in spite Of ail his drawbacks.” “I’m afraid ho won’t bo a very lively traveling companion,” said Lilian, smiling. “No, I suppose not,” said the sta tion-master, in a matter-of-fact sort of way. Just at that moment a wagonette drove up; the driver handed out a va lise, and assisted a young lady to alight. “Has tbe omnibus gone?” she cried, flinging aside her veil, and revealing & very pretty brunette face, shaded bv jetty fringes of hair and flushed with excitement. “You’re just in time, miss,” said Mr. Jones, peering down tho*winding road, which Ills experienced oyo could trace, when no one clse’s was of any avail. “It’s a-comin’ now!” But Lilian Ferguson, who had been gazing at the new comer earnestly, now came forward with an eager smile and an outstretched hand. “Surely I am not mistaken.” said she, “and this is Ellen Morton?” “Lilian Ferguson!” Oh, vou darl ing, I am so glad tp see you!’'cried the stranger. “But where on earth did you come from?” And thus met the two lovely girls who had parted just a year ago at Madame de Tournairo’s fashionable ^oarding-school in Scarborough, and who had not seen each other since. Just at this moment, however, there was no time for explanations. The ponderous omnibus rolled np, with creak of leathern curtains, tramp of horses, and a general confusion of arrival, to tho broad wooden stops of the station. The sun was already down. In the twilight, Ellon and Lilian could only discover that tho vehicle contained but one other occupant, a man, who leaned back in tho far corner, with the top of his faco partially hidden by a large, wide-brimmed hat, and its lower part wrapped in tho folds of a Persian silk pocket-handkerchief. He inclined his head courteously as they entered, and moved a handsome traveling case which lay on the middle seat, as if to make room for them. “Is there another passenger?” said Miss Morton, with a little, nervons start ‘Tt's only a deaf-and-dumb gentle man,” Lilian explained, her eyes full of soft pity. “Tho station-master told me about him-” “What a nuisance!” cried Ellen. “I had hoped wo shpnld have tbe drive to don’t” observed Miss Morton. “Why, my dear, here is your career all chalked ont for you. Sentimental widower, with lots of money—pretty governess- mutual fascination—growing devotion —finale, a wedding! Hey! presto, yonr fortune is made!” “Ellen, how can you talk so?” cried Lilian, flushing and indignant “I am not on a husband-bunting expedi tion; I am simply trying to earn my own living.” “The more goose yon, to neglect such an opportunity as this,” said Ellen, laughing. “If yon don’t try for the widower, I shall Grove Rookery is only half a mile from Chessington Hall, after all; and a rich husband would eel ve tbe problem -of my life, at once.” “This is too ridiculous, Ellen!” said Lilian. “I conld not respect myself if I were to plot and plan like this. I know it is unjust but you hare made me dislike Mr. Chessington already.” “The more tho better,” said Miss Morton. “They say he is very hand some; and one could ft*silv send the children away to bo&rdfcq^chool I can assure you. I’ll haVe no old-maid aunts and interfering unetes about the premises.” “Ellen, let us talk some' else,” said Lilian, restfintely. me all that has happened to yon since wo saw each other last” Ellen laughed ont a merry, tinging laugh. “Well, if yon must know,” said the, “I’ve been trying my best to get a nice husband, but without any suc cess.” “Is matrimony, then, the end and aim of all tho world?” said Lilian, with queenly disdain. “As far as I am concerned—yes,” much as think of her conversation in the omnibus that night, without hot indignation at herself. “What a fool I was!” she cried. ( Mr. Chessington, however, much at he liked and admired Lilian Ferguson, never asked her to marry him. “When 1 was widowed onco it was forever,” ho said. And Lilian never coveted tho priie of his heart; perhaps because she was engaged to a rising young olorgyman. “If only I had Lily’s opportunities!” said Miss Morton. “But I wrecked my chances when I spoke out my mind so freely before the deaf-and-dumb gentle man!” a- MffMas AHAJ~?rj iilm - ■ JVWTJrWrTWi H-WTw -j xjrj i i w. In the pages of a novel tho girl who has a morning call always comes trip ping into tbe parlor, dressed in a sort, fleecy gown of wiiito, or a rose-colored cashmere with a girdle of. bright rib- a neat house dress' of some _ fabric. __J3hp puts away her soft "brown hair from her un troubled face,' and her eyes have the rested brightness of immortal youth, and much more of the same sort ad in finitum.

Pardon mo, Ellon,” said Lilian, “but it seems to me that you have de generated frightfully since those dear old days at Madame de Tuurnaire’s. Miss Morton yawned. “How tedious nil this is!” said she. “Miss Ferguson turned lectnrer, oh? How 1 wish that poor fellow in the corner wasn’t deaf and dumb! I’d flirt with him, just to aggravate you, Lily!” Lilian made uo answer. She leaned her head out of the window, and watched the purple dntk creep up tho amusing with a book when a caller is announced If it is a young gentleman, and she does not expect him, she sends word; she will bo “down immediately.” | en she tears a bandage from her queenly brow, which looks as if it had been cemented together, and pioks out tho bandoline bangs. Then hurried toilet ablntions, a white Mother Hub bard with a pink satin bow and should-1 er knot, takes tho place of tho waist 1 and skirt which were “good enough) for home.” Tho old slip-sliod slippers arc replaced by pinl»hoso and opera; ties. There is a hasty skirmish with! tho powder pulf, a christening dash of' cologne, and with an embroidered, mouchoir in her hand tho young lady I descends to tho parlor and finds her, younger brother on intimate terms with tho caller, who is no other than her es cort of the previous evening when she was arrayed in purple and line lace. ■ Ho docs not realize that she is en mas- ! quorade just now as much . as she wns y ! then; that he is tho hero of a scene in real life, and that if he had mot her in FARM TOPIC& Spontaneous Combustion the of Burning; Barae—How to Save Corn Fodder.

It is noticeable, says the Scysntifk American, that a larger number of burnings of bams are mentioned by tbe periodical press in the summer that at any other time. Some of the Arts are undoubtedly caused by llghmlng, the the mrenred iHry motafr-Tafor-fhnn making a favprable oondootor for the electric fluid. Bat there are ham fires which cannot bo attributed to lightning, to lighting of matches, to ligut from lanterns, nor to the invasions of earo- less-tramps. It mag be that the spon taneous combustion of Mv is as possi- Mfl as the-spontaneous tring of cotton (Wl the waste. All flbrous material wMh moist, and compressed, and defended from the cooling inflaenoes of the oat- ward air, is subjected to a heating simi lar to that of fermentation) and in some instances the degree of heat is snifiolent to canso actual, visible combustion. In the case of recently “cured” hay this danger is as great as, in similar cir cumstances. other materials may be. Frequently the grass is ent in the early morning, while wet with dew; it u turned twice, and gathered and paeked in the “mow” or “bay” before night fall, with perhaps a sparse sprinkling of h a compr salt SucE pressed mass of moist, ipr fibrous matter will heat How far the heat will go towards generating oom- bustion may be Inferred from a foolish trick which the writer witnessed sever al years ago large meadow of bar had been ent, r lo hill sides, counting the stars as one by tho hall as she appears in tho bosom of ourselves. But now, dear,” as she § settled herself in tho most comfortable corner, “tell mo what this unexpected encounter mean. ” «' “It means,” said Lilian, with a shy smile, **that I am going to be nursery overness at Chessington Hall, that is, f I give satisfaction. I was engaged by a letter a week ago.” “What a very singnlar coincidence,” said Miss Morton, snaking her cherry- colored bonnet-strings. “And I am going to be oompanion to old Mrs. Grove, of Grove Rookery, tho very next place to Chessington Hall How I do envy you, Lilian.” “Envy me, Ellen F” i. - “Yea Haven’t yon he ap’d about itP* said the brnnetto. ‘Thai Chessington children, your futnre charge, are moth erless, don’t yon know? They are under tho care of an annt, so Mra Grove told me; and there is a hand some widower and an interesting young bachelor at Chessington HaU.” Lilian Oolored hotly. m “Neither of whom! expect % •—* ” one they shone out Anything was better than Ellen’s shallow chatter! Grove Rookery was soon reached, and Miss Morton bado her old school mate an effusivQ»fare<kell “I see that tho old lady has sent tho carriage to meet me,” said she. ‘Good- by, Lily! You must bo sure to intro duce mo to tho charming widower whoa I come over. Au rqvoir, darling —aurevoir!" Tho deaf-and-dumb gentleman left the omnibus very soon. Miss Fergu son watched with some interest but no carriage of anv description seemed to be waiting for him. He disappeared into tho woods like a shadow, and vanished from her sight “I suppose, poor follow, that ho lives near here,” thought she. “How dread ful it must be, thus to be cut off from all companionship with one’s fellow beings!” But even while these reflections passed through her mind, tho omnibus stopped again, before a glittering facade of lights, half-veiled in swaying summer foliage—Chessington Hall! “Here you arc, miss,” said tho driver. Through the summer evening dusk, Lilian could see tho marble-railed ter race and tho broad carriage drive, while two child fijjhres danced up and down, and uttered joyful exclamations of welcome—little Blanche and Alice Chessington! “Are you the new governess?”.said they. “Are you Miss Ferguson? Wel come—welcome! Wo are so glad that you have come!” And in an instant their arms were twined around Lilian’s neck. At the end of a month Lilian Fergu son felt completely and thoroughly at home with her now pupils. They had ranged the woods, and vis ited ail the grottoes and cascades; they had surrounded her with an atmos phere of the sweetest affection. Mrs. Hartleigh, their annt, was equally kind; and Alfred Hartleigh, the interesting young ancle, had already taken her into his eonfidenaxas.lathe beautiful bride ho was going to brin^ home soon. , ^ But it certainly was very strange that she never had seen Adrian Chess ington himself, the father of her lovely little pupils. Until one pleasant morning, when, just as she had come ont to receive Miss Morton, who had driven over in the Grove Rookery carriage to call a tall, haadsome gentleman entered the room, with Mra Hartleigh on his arm. “The deaf-and-dumb gentleman!” Lilian involuntarily exclaimed. “Poor fellow, so it is!” said Miss Morton, who advanced airily, shaking ont tho light mnslin flounces of her dresa “How ho does haunt ns. to bo surel” “Ladies,” said the deaf-and-dnmb entlem&n, “you are mistaken. I can ear and speak, to-day, as well as anybody. I should have spoken to vou a.xoonth ago in the omnious, if it had not boon for tho unfortunate cir cumstance of my having just been to the dentist and had my lower jaw broken in tho extraction of a double tooth. I perceived that you were mis taking me for my unfortunate friend Mr. Denton, a deaf-mute, who lives near here; bat ho had been detained until tho next day, and with my band aged face it was impossible Ion: me to speak and explain matters.”,, f Ellen Morton’s face glowed scarlet She literally knew not what to say. Bat Lilian Ferguson stood - calm and unmoved. “Then,” she said smiling, “all our sympathy was thrown away upon you.’’ He inclined hla head. “Exactly,’* he said. “1 found the next day that it was necessary to pat myself under the care of a surgeon, so that I have been a sort of exile for a few weeks.

Ho’ couid scarcely, with this vision before him, be brought to understand that her young ladyhood is so completely a mat-' ter of personal adornment. ’ It would be almost a safe thing to as-> sert that out of fifteen young ladies of' leisure onlv five conld be seen at a morning call without tbe required wait', of half an hour. In many famlliee’ where the daughter is a social belle them ktws much preliminary hurrying and senrrying to get her into presenta ble shape for an unexpected call as if. it wore an emergency of fire. And this is not duo to any poverty of wearing' apparel The young lady can have anything she desires to wear—has, in deed, quantities of beautiful clothing—' but what is tho use of making an elab-' orate toilet if there isn’t anybody to soe< it?

One of the Knickerbocker girls whom I met and liked is to be a bride in Oc tober. She is a philosophic little thing. I noticed th«k her to-be hnsband was being slowly, gently, but none the loss surely, let down from the heights of Shadowy sentiment toths solidities of human actuality. Do yon follow me? Let mo illustrate my meaning. She waltzed one night with tho infatuated fellow; and on seating her at my side, ho whispered raptnronsly: “I really think you have wings on yonr heels, you danof*! so lightly.” “Not a wing,” she replied. “The fact is that I bad No. 2 shoes oaNo. 3 feet, and I felt as though I were stumping around on my ankles. But just now my pet corn stings through the numbness.” “Ah!” sighed the persistently romantic chap, “tnen tho wings extended invisibly from your shoulders, dear girl” “Well, it’s safe to bet,” the heavenly seraph responded, “that if any wings are attached to mo they are somewhere outside of my corset, for there isn’t room for a half a breath inside.” Tbe Videos Character of tho Tallow Candle. The air of a room lighted by gas is heated twenty times as much as if it were lighted to an equal extent by in candescent electric lamps. When aro- lamps are used, the comparison is still more in favor of electricity. Yon will be surprised to know that onr old friend, the tallow candle, and even the wax candle, is far worse than gas in the proportion of air vitiated and the heat f reduced; and yon will be disposed to elieve it But the fact is, that so long as candles were used, light was so ex pensive that we were obliged to be con tent with little of it; in fact, we lived in a state of semi-darkness, and in this way we evaded the trouble. It is only since the general introduetion of mb and petroleum that we have found «M» fim cured, and cooked, previous to remov al A shower threatening, the cocks were covered with caps of canvas and left for the night. While engaged in getting the hay in the next day, one of the workmen dropped an oaligkted match from his pocket into a cook of hay, and in a few minutes it was ablasn It afterwards was ascertained that he had spoken of the warmth of the hay as ho lifted it on his fork, when a oom panion remarked that it might hi hot enough to light a match, on which he put a match into the rick, and before they had passed on five minatee the riok was on fire. Everybody conversant with farm life where hay is a permanent and impor tant crop, knows that for weeks after getting In the hey the bam is when opened in the morning.

The care for tbe possible danger of possible spontane ous bam bnrning would teem to be the thorough caring—drying—of the hay before Tt is housed.

The complaint that stock will not corn fodder well or over one-third one-fourth of it, arises from our od, or lack of msthod, in seonring it Moat of our com is allowed to stand ss it grew, sad to have its nutrition wash ed out of it, and then it is fed where it rew to cattle roving through the ’he bleached stuff is little liked ■a** little eaten. A few out it and pat 4 in to large shocks but not until after the corn is dead ripe. It should be eat Swhile the stalks are yet qnite green* tho corn being in the latter stages si Ahe dough state, or before the kernel is too hard to crash easily in the fingers, and before it is dry throughout. If should bo put into shocks made from four hills square in place of the old six teen hills square, and bound around the top by rye straw, twine or a corn stalk. It is well to bend the sols down, binding the tops nnder, thus taming the rain. In the coarse of two four weeks, depending' upon the to weather, tbe small shocks may easil be busked out and the corn cribbed. The band will not have to be removed nor the shock taken down in basking. After husking tbs hills of corn aroond which the shock is made, as fast as the skock is wanted, may be cut, and the fodder of the shock may be qnicUy and easily, by one man, passed to the wag on for stacking, tim band aronnd the shock always remaining on. Thus treated it will be tender, more palata ble and more nutritious, and, when fed with clover, cotton-seed meal, or mid dlings, will be nearly all eaten. It will also be handled from the start at Isas exoense than by tho system of sixteen hills square shocks. CATTLE nr MEADOW’S. Old meadows from which crops have been gathered will soon have consider able aftergrowth under the influsnoe of favorable rains. While grass on pastors fields is shortened there is s strong temptation to graze meadows. If no injury would follow of conns advant age ihight be had by pastaring them, but injury doss follow. The best way to increase the yield of meadows that do not come up to the standard fir la permit the aftergrowth to remain ss a winter protection to the mote of the grasses. It is true, growth may be so heavy as to defeat the pnrpoee tm view.
