"There is Archie on the lee rail." There came.a rushing sound as of the wings of a great .bird, and a swift 6choo'ner dashing the water from her sharp prow, came down the bay, heading out into "the lake. On the rail, holding by the fourmttlins, was a handsome young follow with curling-, broivn hair* bud deep-blue eyes^.who waved his hat and shouted a gopd-byeto Nellie, as the sc^opn^p passed; and the look of love in his face was reflanfo^ ifi tli-if nf hia wife. And Sarah Belton set;her teeth together with a clinking sound, while her hands opened and closed convulsively.. .'.Neither spoke for some moments, until the schooner was so far away that.they-could' no lonfer see the ,?gtjre of Walter Var.en. . . ,. UH ...... "Ah, cry away, you silly fool/' hissed Sarah. "YOU will never see him again, until they carry his body up the beach "to a grave on the hill yonder.'' 1 r "Sarah!" '*Bah : whv do von take the in jured tone with me, when you knew well that you robbed;me of the love of Walter Varden? I have never forgotten, and I shall never forgive, uutil I see him dead and cola on the sandy shore. "I nevfcr lenew that yon cared for him, 8arah,'? sobbed Nellie. "False!

Two weeks later and it was time for the coming of the Floating Feather, and every day for hours, Nelly stood upon the beach and .looked out upon the broad expanse of water for the _coming. of her husband ;'and Sarah Belton, up in the light house tower, looked down upon her and delighted in her grief. : 5 "Aye, watch and wait', watch and wait, you little simpleton.

Fattening Cattle. ?? One would hardly suppose it necessary to sajy that in fattening stock ^ warmth, is of great importance; t yet, particularly in fattening hogs, i we see this principle continually a neglected. Styes, pens, and stables J are built often in cola, exposed r places; and, though the locatiou 1 may sometimes be good enough, t the buildings are so roughly put c together that the cold winds whistle c through in every direction. The t food which cattle, eat a great s measure goes to supply'waste neat i The internal af-rangeroerits'of an t animal afe much the same as the a heating arrangements of a building, i and the foocl is so, much fuel that is a being consumed in this internal t stove. To havea'cold, open place \ for cattle, though they be well fed, e is much the same as to have a large i fire in one's t office of. a qold.day, 2 and then leave all the dpors and 'k windows open for the heat to es- c cape.4 "Warmth, howevfer, is not c the only,thing needful to 'make cat- ( tie fatten well. - Good health is an t essential eleme^^, No matter how 1 close Wem^y keep a., room,; unless < the stove draws \yeil there is. little < heat gfretf oot.'

How to Succeed. -n.The yopng man who thinks lie can carry his boyish prance into the serious business of life is not a man, and defrauds himself and his employer. "After work, play,!' That should satisfy the most sanguine. "Business before pleasure' is' the motto , of'the prudent man whctee guide is expefinfce, And it is sufficient for the novitiate' in active life." But it - - JA??!nn k]n mo +V10 rnnnff rtlilii 19 UCOJ'lWttUlc I>u ovv vuv j just starting in life so wedded to his former enjoyments as to place them , above present duties. Yet this is often the case. The young man who to steer his own bark launches forth on the seaT)f life, too often looks back on the pleasures he leaves behind, and forgetful of pres, ent duties, steers back to past enjoyments.
