" Arc you sure that you love me, I
Joan?"
41 Am I sure?" I look up into the ear- ! s

you know that I love you better than all j s
Ai the words my face drops and hides v
itself against ray teve's broad breast, j ft
which is henceforth to be my shield and ; \ \
buckier from all adversities.
Heath sighs a sigh, hall of content-'
ment, half of sadness, then pushing i n
back the curls from my forehead, he . jj
kisses me, saying: " Well, good-by, my j b
darling, I shall be back before a week, i
Take good care of your precious self-" | r,
After he has left me" I lean my arms :
on the window-sill, and watch his tall.! w
erect figure as far as I can see. Then I
give myself up to thoughts of the won-1 ft
derful fairy future which this very j|
morning first opened before me?when : a.
Heath Fortescue asked me to be his 11;
wife.
Can it be that I. little Joan Endicott. ; jj
am the one to bo loved, before all others,! ?
bysuchaman? !
I turn and look into the mirror. I see ; jj
a round face, more brown than fair, I vv
great eray eyes, and a lot of thick, curly j
' red-brown hair. 1 j,
Never before have T so longed to be , p
beautiful; not merely pretty, but lovely, ! t
with all the charms a fair woman can j I
possess.
Heath Fortescue. as I have said be-1 c,
fore, .2 a friend of papa's. I met him ' u
two years ago, for the first time, and, j y
though papa doesn't know it, he has I
been the means of all that, lias happened; j ^
tor how can any one hear. day in and j jj
day out, praise3 of another?of his ; g
noble, generous nature, of his kindly j sj
good heart?without looking forward i *v
with great interest to meetinsthe happy i h
possessor of all these virtues. So he j ^
came. He was ever so many years j ?
older than I. His dark hair had here :
and there a silvered thread, and round I
his mouth, when he was silent, were ,
little lines, as if sometime he had known j jj
sorrow. ' 8t
I think that even then, though I was j w
only sixteen, I felt intuitively that his | u
was a face that I could never forget. ! a
_ The time has flown swiltly. I have
iived in a dream lor the last few months, j
for I have felt that I was loved; and ' "
now, this morning, papa took me in his j J11
arms and. with tears in his dear old ; jjj
eyes, told me that Heath had asked him
for permission to address me. and that!
there was no one in the world to whom j r*
he would rather qive up his little Joan '
than to him. Now it is all over. I
shall not sep Heath fdr a week. He has i
been called away on business; but it J a
will not he lon^ before I again feel the 111
clasp of his loving arms. ^
, The week has passed, and Heath is | 1
with me again. He has in his hand a; P:
tiny case, and, as he opens it, I utter an 1
exclamation of delight. There, in its '
azure velvet nest, sparkles a pure soli- i 81
taire, like a drop of radiant sun-touched '
dew. j'1
Soon I wonder why Heath does not! 1
speak, and looking up, I see how his \ y.
brow is clouded, and with whnt a ! "
strange, sad expression he is regarding :i'
uu*. r
" What is it. Heath ?" I ask, anxiously. '*
"Joati, darling." his voice is lo1* ami *
troubled: ".perhaps I should have told
you before; but?" 111
"Told me what. Heath?" ! _
"Joan, will you listen while I tell I
you. now that I have mustered up cour
age. my sad and painful story?" _ j m
It must be something very sad. for hi n<
voice is strained, and I can see that, nf
whatever it is, it is going to give him j
vome pain as he tells it. I put my hand >
n his without hesitation. I do not in-1111
terrupt him a? he speaks. j K
"I should have told you tip's lonir ' C1
ujro, but it was an old wound, and I sp
dreaded to open it afresh. Your father : ?
, knew, and I thought perhaps lie would
tell you; but I see he has not. < ^
' Joan when I was a young man I 1
committed a rash and irrevo cable deed j
Carried away by a boy's mad passion for g:
a pretty face, I married a girl beneath ui
me in station and inferior in education.! tt
Her rame was Delia; she was beautiful, ! g:
and she made me think she loved me. tl
Then came the first trouble of my life; ! to
a fiery trouble it was, too. I found that ai
my lovely-faced bride had the terrible is
habit of opium eatinsr. Hpmnnmto ho/t i?
concealed it from me, so tlmt she should .
make a rich match. After a time reverses
came to my father, and then to II
me, and we soon were no longer w
wen>bv. Then ray wife disclosed her ' In
true character. She abandoned herself is
to her love tor the soul-destroy in? dm ?, j rr
What my life was then I cannot describe i h
?it was terrible! In the hope ofre-i
trieving my business, 1 left home for a d
while, and returned to find my name p
disgraced, my honor stained. My wife o
had pone from her home, leaving a note , t<
saving that she had never loved me, had h
only married me for my money, and .
now bad left me for one richer than I." , ii
His voice breaks. ' h
"Little one.it is dreadful to me to ft
tell you in your fresh, sweet innocence o
of such degradation!" t!
I did not speak, but press the baud I /
still hold tightly, and he goes on: if
" Two years ago I received a letter ! r
from her cousin, saying that she was jn
dead, and. much to my surprise, accus-! t
ing me of having caused her to break y
her plighted troth to him, and then of d
having driven her to desperation by my ! u
neglect. I learned then for the first i
time that she must have been engaged to p
another even whenshe marred me, and t
I was not the only sufferer through ' I
Delia's falseness." # : t

haVP suffered! J f,
"Joan!" the name is full of painful
yarniuir; "you would not let the past c
'darken our future." i t
"So.' Heath,' I answer: "I will try , *
and rnako up to you for all your bitter | 4
?when I am your wife." e
My voire falters as I 6ay the last
words; they seem to bring me so close
t i him. Then he clasp/* me to his j
ij.':irt, and his nobie brow clcars of tho ; s
shadow which rested so gloomily upon i I
1L?the shadow of memory. I 1
The next day I go on an errand for t
papa My paflh lies through the woods 1
that adjoin the Fortescuo ' state. Heath i
lias just bought it back again. The ]
house is still closed, lor he saya it will
be opened first for its mistress. Think
sf me, little Joan Endicott, as mistress
3f that great, grand old place! ^
As I pass the gate I glance in curi- t
jusly. Some one, a woman, is walking ?
jnc'er the shade of the elm trees which .
?dge the carriage path. What an ill- ,
ooking face I think, as, on seeing n:e t
muse and look in, she comes hastily j
:oward me. She is tall and thin, and ?
ler face is pale, with great earning j
?yes and dark hair. ,
"Who owns this place, mi ?" she ,
lays, abruptly, opening the tr. an<? j
ominetome. Is
" Mr. KorLi'icue," I answer, drawing ]
jack, rather dismayed by her excited .
n annex*. ,
"Mr. Fortscue? I thought he w:xs ,
lead, nnd that before he died the place ]
,vas sold."
"Mr. Heath Fortescue?the son?has
xmght it back again."
I move to go, but the great black eyes
rlcam, and she lays a thia hand on my
irm. detaining me. s
"Uan you teii trie wucre 1 can nnu '
rleath Forteseue?"
Just then I hear the clatter hoofs,
md looking up, see my lover riding toward
me.
'* Ilere he is if you wish him. madam,'"
[ say. politely, relieved thai she will
lot have to question me more, for, to
ell the truth, I am in doubts as to her
lanity, her facets so strnng"ly agitated.
"I did not think to meet you, little
>ne, so early," says Heath, reining up
jos'de me.
The woman shrinks haek a moment,
hen springing forward, she stands di
ectly before him. I see Heath's face
hange, lirst a wan crimson color, then i
i uray*pallor like a mask settles over J
lis features. j
"Delia!" !
He reels in his saddle. Then leaning j
i>n 1/-./-.1-0 Kni!nof>>iinfrlv imnlor- I

Delia?that was his wife's name! Can \c
t be that it is his wife?that she is not :
lead, but living? I move as in a dream. J
ill sense of anything lost save the mor- '
al agony in his face. I reach home,
tnd in my room I watch the road. I ,
ee him go by leading his horse, while |,
>eside him walks that tall, dark figure. *
?he is talking eagerly?he is silent. He
ioes not look up to our house. They c
iave passed. I feel strangelv giddy? j
:an I be going to faint? I no notteli
>apa. for there may be some mistake. r
Evening comes, and Heath is down- a
tairs. I hear his step. As I go into '
he library, I see by both their faces j
hat my fear was true. Heath is lean- r
na: his head on his hand. Dear papa
akes me in his arms. ! e
" Be strong, Joan, for Heath's sake." t
Then he leaves me, and I go to Heath's q
ide. We talk long, but quietly. I feel h
ifted out of myself at the sight of his t
uffering, and seeing me* so composed, a
eems to calm Heath as nothing else s
rould have done. He rises to go, and b
Imost involuntarily holds out his arms, ti
lien they fall to his side. a
"Joan! Joan! it is hard!" j b
" Yes, Heath; but friendship still re- ' e
lains to us. Do not think ot me?" i v
ere I break down. "Oh! Heath, God i S'
less yoH and care for you!"
He lifts my hand to his lips with a ! F
?verent gravity. i is
"Joan, you are an angel! I will do J ?
rliatis right!" | c
But my strength was short-lived, for j ?
s.soon as he has gone I fall prone upon "
le floor and fight with a hard struggle { P
gainst the longing to shriek aloud in '
iv anguish.
Papa docs not come to me until I
ave gained composure. No one sees | J
ly weakness. j*
Oh. it only that cousin had not be- j
eved a mere report?if he had only ! _
waited to be sure! I
1 have seen him. He has lately come j g(
aek to his native place, and papa i g)
ointed him out to me. A morose-look- I sj
ig man.- He quite frightened me when g)
met the gaze of his sullen eyes.
A year passes, and the days go by as ! ft
rer, save that each one seems more j If
lonotonously weary than the other. I tl
ew chances have taken place. But I 1 tx
in now think of my dear friend as fet- j tl
Ted no loneer by that wicked, wasted o
fe. Yes, Heath's wife is dead. She d
pent her last days under the care of a j y
tilled physician ia a quiet retreat pro- y
ided forherby herinjured husband, lie j tl
riefly wrote to papa when it happened. I si
'o message to rue, for which I am glad, v,
>r though now there is no obstacle be- ft
veen us, I can never be his wife. : gi
It seems to me that it is only right! li
rnt I should feel so, as if I must sacri- ! pi

ce my wuoie iuiuru tu iu> mu.-v ?
olen hours of happiness which i tl
ronged another woman, though all ' r<
consciously. Papa says that I am I
lorbid, hut I do not think so. ^
Almost another year has gone, ami |
eatli has come back. He is in his {
ouse, the great mansion which was to i Jj
five been opened first- but I do not al- j ?
iw myself to think of the past. I could i ?
Dt k? ep my resolve if I did, for I have j
en him. and my foolish heart still |
aps and quivers ii5 ??f old in his pres- i
ICjj. |
He would not fcr?ow it though, for I j ^
mcold and still, llis manner to me is I ^
nich tlfc same. Any one would think.' ^
e were scarcely good friends to spe us. ! ii
can tell that he thinks that what h?s ! f,
assed hits killed my love for him. :
It is better so. j B(
It is iust dusk?not late, for the days j C)
re short, and throwing a light wrap jr
round my shoulders, I saunter slowly | s]
own the garden path to the gate. I
ear voices in the road, and turn to go. jr
ut something stops me. A hand i
ko ioe clutches at my heart, yet I stay n
ad listen. j
"I toll you. Martha, it's ?>o tue your n
illowing me this wny. I've sworn to ' u
illiiim. and I will! A shrt through a
)o window, where he alwiys sits rend- : g

Then a softer voice in expostulation. 1
cannot catch the words. ! tti
"I tell you he stole my J)elia from : tl
e. I swore then to be revenged. You h
K>dn't say she was false of her own ! sj
cord. I tell you this very night lie a|
iall know how cold lead feels." ! n,
In the dark two figures pass me?a a
mri and a woman. The man is in- u
xicated, I can tel! by his thick, ex- jr
ted utterance. No names were; y
>oken, but I know it is Heath he! n
ireatens. i tl
"Oh. Father in heaven!" 1 pray, as i . li
ing my arms up in the dark, starless
ty. " help me to save him!" i oi
Then I 20 swiftly back through the si
irden, throuch the orchard, and out j ci
pon a path which tak^s a short cut to ; D
le Fortesrue place. I am at the great j w
ite, and looking fearfully back down ; tl
;e road I see a man walkintr swiftiv ; Q
'ward me with a pistol in his hand, "f ' fi
n too late. He is up to me. His hand ; gi
on my arm I shriek aloud in my w
rror:
"Heath! Heath! Help!" ' w
A qirck step down the walk, and lai
'eath is by mv side. "Joan?you here! ty

e sees the ruffian whose rough grasp , N
on my arm. With a sudden move- ; 01
?or*f lio wrnofc mp nwir find r.r?n frnntu
im alone, unarmed as he is. j P!
An oath rings out from the vengeful aJ
runkard's sullen lips, as he raises the ; S1
istol. Heath sees, and with one turn
f his strong arm. the wonpon is thrown j1E
> the ground, and in a moment the man
imself follows, felled like an ox.
It is all done in an instant, and I am ,
x doors with the anxious, motherly ; ri
ouspkeeper chafing my cold hands, be- j ei
>ve I know scarcely that the danger is i H
ver. When ] am strong again. I tell | c<
hem both the words that I overheard. ; c<

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
Corn for Ilorsei.
Is it or is it not economy to feed
lorses com in the ear? We have prac,iced
it for a number of years, believing
,hat the petition which was not masti:ated,
and so passed out of the horses
without being digested, was not equal
,o the miller s toll. The toll is every
;enth, aud this with the waste and time
ipent in going to the mill will make it
:ully equal to every eighth. Another
;hing farmers do not think enough
ibout. Suppose every tenth is not
nasticate.-? and assimilated by the horse,
t is kept on the farm, whereas if it is
eft at the uill the farm is so much de
dieted of piant-ioon. we tnrow uie
tvhole ears into the manger, and let the
work-horses bite the kernels off as they
like. As soon as the horses get used to
;aling corn there is no danger of its prohiring
any colic or other derangement
)f the bowels, but care must be taken
lot to begin too strong at first. Three
>r four ears of flint corn are all a horse
should have to begin a diet of this food.
Hie Southern and Western corn is
iehter, and is not so apt to produce
lolie. In the South, corn is almost
ilways fed in tyie ear, and so it is in the
West, when fed at all. Corn is excellent
food for horses to work on. but not
?ood for last driving. They are more
juiet ana tractame on rum man m<.u
inv other grain, and will do more hard
Dulling and drudgery with less lees in
:on<lition. Oats make a horse sprightly
md active, and hence should be fed
iparingly to a colt. Oats have helped to
nakc a great many balky, spavined and
unaway horses. Corn makes them dull
ind slow, but strong. Corn is the best
'or colts whiie being broken. It may
je made lighter and not so heating by
laving wheat bran mixed with it.?

Mulching Trees.
A correspondent of the Boston CuHi%tor
writes: Knowing that you are invested

Durcc of wonder, as it proved to be so
uccessful. Upon a dry and rocky liiilide,
in the town of|Shrewsbury, Mass.,
,ood an orchard. The trees were old

>r several years. The owner having a
irge quantity of swale hay drew it from

te whole ground occupied by the trees,
mitting every alternate row. This was
one in the month of July. The next j
Rar, proving to be the corn bearing I

iving With Part of His Skull Hone, j
On June 29, 1878, F. Marion Davis, a j
eater in the rolling mill of the Philaelphia
Iron and Steel company, was
:ruck by an iron clamp, weighing about
jurteen pounds, which was thrown,
rith terrible force, from the shaft of a
evolving fly-whe^l. The clamp was in
lie form of the letter 41U," made of
juare iron, and one of the exterior anles
of the iron at the curved part of the
lamp struck Mr. Davis in the forehead,
reaking loose and partly forcing
tirough the skin a crescent shapcil
agment of the frontal bone, measuring
iree inches in extreme length and
2ven-eighths of an inch in width in the j
enter or the widest part, thus produc

was summoned. On an examintion
of the wounds thev were prorunced

A Struggle With a Ball.
Stephens Rogers, a farmer on Coos

iraged Jersey bull one dmy last week, j
[e was driving the animal, which beaming
obstinate and refusing to pro- j
eed, his owner struck him with a smail |

erceness of a tiger. The taureau had a !
ingin his nose and wins running from !
; to the horns. By seizing hold of these
lie man prevented the bull from impalng
him on his horns. The brute rolled

hrough the body. Once lie succeeded
n getting him bo as to reach him with
lie point, of one horn, and made a terri>lc
lunge, but fovtunately a small book
n Rogers' pocket acted as a shield and
aved him from instant death. The

ind his clothing torn into shreds. Ever
ind anon the furious beast would lift the

The Ant and the Worm.
Seth Green, the New York Stat*

Atfecllon for Musical Iustrnmenl
It is curious how attached people
come to their pianofortes, or in fa<
any musical instrument they have !
had in possession. The thing very ?
becomes more than a mere insent
piece of matter; it is a companio
friend, and the longer it is had
stronger becomes the attachment. '
feeling may arise from the fact that
instrument was the gift ot n very <
friend, a father, or mother, or favc
brother, or sister; or it may - arise f
the associations that have grown
and clustered like flowers around it;
when time has separated our 1c
ones Jrom us by distance or death,
pianoforte, or 'the violin, or the fl
around which they were wont toga

and the present, the talisman that (
jures up forgotten scenes, recalls the

reverence, raise the dead. But bs
cause of the feeling what it may,
feeling itself is indisputable.

TEA "TASTERS. "
A Cnrion* 44 Profeaalon " In IVew Tork?
Skill 9lipl?7?d ' by Experienced
Taaterc.
There are, says Dr. Dana, probably
more than a hundred firms engaged in
tea-tasting in this city. In all thein
offices there are large tables with round
revolving tops. A circle of teacups is
placed along the edge of these. The
tea-taster sits down before the display
of crockery, and^tastes one cup after another,
moving the table top around.
In the center of the table is a pair of
scales with a silver half dime in one of
the balances. One or two large kettles
are kept constantly with boiling water
in them. When a sample of tea is to
be tasted, as much is weighed out as
will balance the half dime, This is
pub in a teacup and the boiline water
poured on. The tea-taster then stirs
up the leaves, lifts them on his spoon,
and inhales the aroma. At the same
time he generally takes a sip of the infusion,
holds it in his mouth for a short
time, and then spits it out. Enormous
brass cuspadores, holding two or three
gallons, receive the tea thus tasted and
the contents of tho cups that have been
examined. On some occasions, when a
large amount of tea of a certain kind is
to be bought, many samples of this are
brought in from different houses. The
buyers and sellers sit around the revolving
table with the samples made into
infusions in the cups before them.
These are tasted all around, the
"body." fineness, "toastiness," etc.,
are learnedly discussed, and the poorer
specimens discarded. Then those that
are left are tasted again, and the number
further reduced. So it goes on until
the article which unites the desired
quality and price is obtained.
The skill displayed at these "drawings"
is quite remarkable. A teataster
will detect not only the quality
of a tea as regards age, strength, flavor,
fineness, etc., but he can tell in which
of the numerous districts in China the
tea was grown. The facts regarding
the different samples are sometimes put
on the bottom of the cups, where they
cannot be seen. The cups are then
mixed up, and the infusions tasted again
and sorted out simply by their flavors.

fjlbWV UVW1 VI VVJI 1UMJ WV VUUbVU MVfore
these tea-drawings are finished. It
is hard to tell the amount that a teataster
takes during the day, for it varies
a great deal with the activity of business.
Few of the gentlemen whom I
asked could give any idea. Sometimes,
however, as many as 400 or 500 cups are
tasted in the day J It is quite the custom
to have to he tasting tea steadily
for the most of the day, or for hours at
the time. Probably an average of 200
cups a day throughout the year is a low
estimate. The poorer kinds of tea are
often not sipped at all, but the sense of
smell is depended on. Of the better
qualities of tea, some is swallowed,
and some spit out. Indeed, whenever
the tea is taken into the mouth a
little of it is swallowed. The tea gets
into the system, therefore, in three
ways; by inhalation, by absorption
through the oral mucous membrane,and
by the stomach. More tea is simply
taken into the mouth without swallowing
than is inhaled alone: but all the
tea is inhaled, even if it is tasted also.
It is only a small proportion, amounting
to not more than two or three cups
a day, that is swallowed. Asilverfivecent
piece weighs 1.48 grms. (gr. xviii).
Estimating that an average of 200 cups
of tea are tasted per day, about onehalf
of a pound would represent the
whole amount used.
Japan tea has of late years become
by far the most popular variety, and
more of it is imDorted than of all other
kinds together. Green tea, on the other
hand, is much less extensively U9ed than
formerly.?New York Medical Record.

A Spanish Ball Story.
A Cadiz letter says: Notice has bee
posted in all the publio places that on
certain day the bull called "El Moro
would be introduced into the arena, ani
that, when he should have been goade
to the utmost fury, a young girl woul
appear and reduce the animal to quie
subjection. The people of Cadiz ha
heard of "El Moro" as the most mag
nificent bull ever brought into the city
and it soon became known that the gir
thus advertised was a peasant girl c
Espara, who had petted tne bull, and fe
ana cared for it during the years of it
growth. On the appointed day thevas
amphitheater was filled with an anxiouf
eager crowd. The bulls had been kille<
and dragged away, and the flourish c
the trumpets announced the coming o
the hero of the day. With a deep,tei
rific roar, " El Moro " entered upon th
SUCIiC. nu WOO 11 uijr maguuiucuv?M wvi
vine monarch?black and glossy, wit]
eyes of fire, dilating nostrils and wicked
looking horns.
The picadores attacked him warilj
hurled their banderillos (small dart-lik
javelins, ornamented with ribbons, am
intended to goad and infuriate). Th
bull Iiad killed three horses oft-band
and had received eight banderillos in hi
neck and shoulders, when, upon a givei
signal, the picadores and matadores sud
denly withdrew, leaving the infuriate*
beast alone in his wild paroxysms o
wrath. .Presently a soft, musical ndte
like the piping of a lark, was heard, an<
directly afterward a girl not more thai
fifteen years of age, with the tastefu
garb of an Andalusian peasant, and witl
a pretty face, sprang lightly into th
arena, approaching the bull fearlessly, a
the same time calling his name, " Moro
Moro! Yavoy!" At the first sound o
| the sweet voice the animal ceased hi
fury, and turned toward the piao
i whence it came, and when he saw th
j girl he plainly manifested pleasure. Sb
: came to his head and put forth her hand
which he licked with his tongue. Thei
stie sang a low, sweet song, at the sami
time caressing the animal by patting hin
on the forehead, and while she sang, th
; .-uttering monarch kneeled at hep leet
) Then sne stooped and gently remove*
i the cruel banderillos, after which, witl
i her arms around " El Moro's" neck, shi
led him toward the gate of the torril.
