'It's Lesley Lord-that is,' Pe ter Farman, the foreman, said, as. besaw the look of inquiry on Mr. Clifford's face. 'As pretty a girl as ever stepped in shoes, but spoiled and humored until she thinks she can do as she likes. Mr.-Clifford looked through the open door-he was the new book keeper, just entering upon his - uties that morning. So that i, Miss Lord-the .young lady with the round white arms and shining teeth, and the hair piled in a gold-colored mass otn top of her head ? 'Well, Furman, she is rather good-looking-eer ainly not as handsome as one would be led to think from your * description.' Several hours later, when Mr, Clifford was thinking it was near ly time for supper, a merry little clatter f .boot-heels sounde on htb foor, coming toward his-office, and he looked up wosee Miss Les - ey Lord standing at .the dome shaped opening in front ot him. Mr. Clifford,' she .said, with a Sgraceful little arch. of her eye ~brow-'at least, I suppose it is --Mr. Clifford, the new book -keeper ?' '1 am at your service,' he re sponded, looking straigh3tforward Sat the BlusheEi dimpled cheeks and little white teeth. I would like to ha.ve an ad vance on Saturday night's pay, if you please.' The-'if you please' was very much at variance with the im. ~periousniess of her domand. Y ou would like an advance ?' he reiterated gravely, somewhat sur -prised. Leeley gave a provoked little toss of her head, and tapped ber fingers on the plate-glass sb-ef~ - That is what I said, I believe. - Am I to understand it is the custom of this office to advance mnoney to the employes upon all occasions ?' 'I don't know anything about what the employes do; I know J always receive an advance when I ask it.' Mr. Clhfford closed his day-booki .-- quietly. - I think the rulea of the office -.orbid such a precedent, Misi Lord. Frank,' to the office boy - -tusily directing the mail, -jusi *light up ; will you ?' * Lesley stood perfectly aston ished at the polite yet cavaliei treatment she had received. Th< idea l This new man putting ol Ssuch airs to her-the ack now ledged belle and beauty of thb Sgirls who set type in the ileral< Scomposing-room, Clifford began counting the money in the cash box, while Lesley, in 1 u possion, stood staring at him. -You don't intend to let. me have i; ? -4he said, presently, in a low, indignant voice that was irresis Libly charming for all that. 'Certainly not-you nor any;1 one.' And Lesley sent him one look, perfectly savage with anger. An hour later, in the midst of a driving rain-storm, Mr. Clifford stepped out of the tram-car in a pretty, lonely suburb of the city, to which be was an entire stranger and after looking about him for several minutes, sans umbrella or overshoes, lie began dimly to re- 1 alize that he did no.t know which of the half-dozen houses within sight was the one where his new landlady, Mrs. Rawson, lived. 'A charming position to Oid J one,3elf in,' he thought, as the rain soaked through his clothes, and be discovered that the mod was disagreeably uncertain to 1 wade through, especially in the darkness. 'i'll make a bee line for the nearest ligbL,' he decided, and forthwith set out for a little cot- i tage, not so appallingly far off, where he arrived in due time, and shivering with the cold dampness of his clothes, he was cheered by the prompt opening of the door by! a placid faced, elderly lady, I who answered him in the cheer. i iest, most unconventional fash ion. iMrs. Rawson's? Why, you won't think of going away up there in such a storm as this. Come in, and see if I can't make you comfortable for a while. I've got a boy. just about your age somewhere in the West.-and if he should be out in the storm-' Her mother-love was sweet and strong on her gentle, womanly face, and he stepped in, gladly, yet reluctantly. 'I am so muddy and dripping I am John Clifford, bookkeeper at the Herald, ma'ain, and a stranger in the city.' His hoste8s insiseLd on bis go ing in and in loss than no time he was feeling decidedly comOortable beside the open fire,. in borrowed slippers and rapidly drying clothes. 'The new bookkeeper of the erald office, I think you said? My niece works there-and she's been talking about the 'new' man' for a week or so-I believe all the girls were an1i us to see you, Mr. Clifford.'* The kindly lady bustled about to get the supper ready in the little kitchen, and at the latest stage of the proceedings she toot the lamp out with her, while sh~e broiled the ham. 'You won't mind sitting in the fire-light a minute or two, I know. We're poor folks, and have to economize in oil.' And a second af:er the lamp bad gone, and the savory odor of the broiling ham floated into his hangry sense, a side door opened, and somebody came in, bringing a cool raiuy feeling with her-for it was a girl, in waterproof and rub bers. 'I camne so near staying at Jen ny Ball's for supper, auntie-I would have stayed only I was afraid you'd be worried about me. We did have so much to talk about,' and a saucy little laugh ippled through the dusk as she plumped herself down on the floor to take off her rubbers. 'The new bookkeeper came, auntie just the handsomest fellow, with -oh-heavenly eyes and a lovely mustache, but he is too mean and hateful for anything-to me,, auntie, you wouldn't believe it, would you ? Well we girls 'll punish him!i We've -miade a con spiracy between us, nd I'm to make him fall in love with me-I can, I know-and then I am to reject him haughtily, and let Auntie, have you been in the cel lar all this.time I've been talking ?t And as Mrs. Cummings ap peared at the head of the cellar stairs Lesley Lord picked up the lamp and carried it badk into the -little dining-roam, while Mr SClifford arose from his eaisy-chair as the lamplight and Lesley's amazed looks fell upon him sim nltaneonly. He langhed as be extended bi! band, while Leslie, bewildered eyond measure, stood stock-still n the middle of the room, lamp in and, her cheeks fluhing pain ully. 'Pray forgive me. I certainly lid not mean to be so hateful, I tssure you, Miss Lord. Won't Fou allow me to relieve you of ,be lamp ? and then-please begin it once tbe part of the programme rou are to fill in the conspiracy Lgainst me. I can promise you t will be the most agreeable tio ne. '1 - didn't - know you were ere.' Lesley starrmered hys eiically, and then she did the est possible thing under the cir mumstances-laughed bearti ly. 'l dare say I shall never hear he last of it,' she laid. 'Well, ar. Clifford, I can stand it if you 'If you will let toe I will stay he remainder of the evening and ry,' he returned, gravely. Well, be stayed, and Lesley was ost bewitcbing, and after be had one home she went to bed and ,ried herself to sleep for very shame at her stupid idiotic blun ler. - 'He will despise me, I know he vill,"she sobbed to berself, 'and ie is just splendid.' But instead of despising her Mr. ,Ifford asked her to marry him iix months afterward. 'I will say 'Yes,' just because I ike to be contrary,' she laughed. I said I'd reject you haughtily, d instead I'll accept you-' She hesitated with a little glance t his handsome face. 'Because I will not take 'No' for tn answer?' he suggested, draw ng her face to his breast. 'Because I do love you,' was her ,eply, low and sweet. And that was the delightful and of Lesley's little conspiracy. FoR TUR HERALD. CIENTIFIC DIISCELLANY. Frequent impurities are found by microscopic investigations to xist in the diamond. Organic matter, carbon and bubbles of gas are common impurities. Quartz, chlorite, pyrite and hematite have recently been discovered in dia monds, and small crystals of topaz have also been seen. Paul Marcoy has described a leaf of the giant water lily (Victo ria regia) found in Lake Nuna, Peru, as measuring 24 feet 91 inches in circumference and weighing between 13 and 14 pounds. One of the flowers was 4 feet 2 inches in circumforence, aid weighed 31 pounds. The outer petals were 9 inches long. Some valuable relics discovered t Ninevah, in the form of floe ivory carvings, showed signs of crumbling on arrival in England. Concluding that loss of albumen w~ as the cause of the decay, Prof. Owen boiled the articles. The experiment proved entirely sue. cesful, and the ivory was re stored to its original firmness and solidity. Remakable wind pressures are experienced in India. On Octo er 5th, 1864, two passenger trains, one of eight vehicles and the other of twelve, were upset on the Bastern Bengal railway, all the cars being overturned. Sev eral cars were started from sidings by the force of the wind. On September 21, 1878, a long train was traveling on the same rail. way at a speed of about eight miles an hour,,and was brought to a standstill by a heavy storm and forced back about a mile with full steam and brakes against it. It was found difficult to proceed after detaching half of tbe train. Instances ot this kind are said to be frequent on Indian railways. Thi great red spot on the planet Jupiter still attracts a large share of attention from astronomical observers. This spot is of an elliptical form with tapering ends, and covers a vast area, being 29,. 000 miles long and 8,300 broad. The mysterious appearance was irs obsered more than three years ago, since which time it8 PI Lorm seems not to have materially stered, although the ordinary Jark bands crossing Jupiter's disc ire in a state of constant change. the 3penulations as to Lbe nature of lab( the red spot have been numerous:a but not very satisfactory. The pro Jark lines across the planet are try believed to be due to atmospheri- an movements, and the suggestion and .hat tbo red spot is a portion of t he body of the planet which has n some. unknown way become eae ieible through the atmospheric par hun )nvelope seens as plausible as any hi. )ffered. M. Gayon has been studying pur he phylloxera of the French whi vineyards with the object of dis- bori ,overing, if possible, some para- face itic organism which might be whi propagated and made to destroys kini he phylloxera. He has found such thrq )rganisms, and has striven to cul- Nal vate them, but with doubtful re mts. He is parsaing the inves. igation further. The ravages of of t the phylloxera have become a cre ource of great loss to the vine, and growers of France, and any re- p earches promising ultimate re- ert lief froin the *pest are eagerly en- t ,ouraged. the It is shown by M. Paul Bert's plai investigations that green light the binders the growth of plants, ten which soon wither and die as if in the darkness. M. Regnard finds that wet the plants specially require red ads light, and soon cease to thrive if rial the red rays are removed from in t sunlight. soil The probability that nearly soli every large town or city will soon ori be supplied with large quantities weg of electricity for lighting purposes 9 has given rise to considerable in- cho terest in the plan of making use are of the same supply for producing but power for light household work. to Several small motors have been rac devised to meet the .expected de- ear mand. The first of these little fesf machines was constructed about crej three years ago by M. Marcel inq Deprez, and was found to work du< effectively. A second apparatus San of this kind has for some time s%v been used by M. Trouve, an elec- clai tro-magnet being used in place gi1 of the permanent steel magnet of rar Deprez. This motor drives a plu sewing machine very readily, al- th though it is of very small size. do< Trouve's little electric canoe at pla the Paris electrical exhibition was bai propelled by some of these en- per gines, and N. Tissandier has sug- itie gested their use for balloon steer- an< ing. The last and best motor is wh that of Mr. Griscom, the American an< electrician. One of these power- ly ful little machines four and a halfpo inches long, and weighing little are~ more than two pounds, will run a ria sewing machine very rapidly er3 with a small expenditure of elec- fin, tric energy. The lack of labor pal -saving conveniences in the all bousehold has often been deplored, eau but the introduction of electricity ly seems to offer a source of power an, which may serve in many ways to ani lighten the toil of the weary kn housewife. th< Electrical exhibitions are likely ph to become epidemic. Close upon bo the Paris exhibition came a prop- wE osition to hold one at the Crystal or Palace, London ; and a like pro- co: jet is now on foot at St. Peters-. burg. Americans are singularly mi backward in organizing such an of enterprise. nu pa THE FRONT GATE.-It was night. rc The sable goddess stretched her to leaden sceptre over the silent, slum- ~ bering world, and they were still pr swinging on the front gate.

Her '~ head was resting on his strong, manly of shoulder, and the love-light wase 5hining in her lustrous eyes as bright la as the head-light of a locomotive.

And first, the farmer; what does he perform in the great ian hive? He has adopted as 'i profession a heaven oidained wit-the hatural business o the n an race. He takes the soil I ch God has made, and by Ia ons effort-'in the sweat of his te '-prepares it for the seed ch He made, 'each after its al L.' He toils day after day,! h mgh beat and cold, aiding ri ure in converting the elements he soil and atmosphere into ti and clothing for the millions n he earth.

On the other. id, the luxuries of life, the sau abundant comforts, the facil for high intellectual culture. the refinements of social life ' ich are so dependent on wealth leisure, are almost exclusive enjoyed by the non-producing -tion of the conimunity.

All ow the answer :-the banker, Smerchant, the lawyer, the ysician, the manufacturer, the d-holder-men who are either aithy in accummulated capital in the possession of large in ns from their business.

It is well to remark that nearly iof the non-producers live, in ws and cities. This circum-1 nce is snggestive of combina, on, sympathy, co-operation, on e part of non-producers, and raishes a key which will help in ie investigation of the question -esented.

We do not mean to intimate iat there is not a considerable imber of educated and well-in. rmed farmers ; but it is to be re .etted. that such a large propor on of educated sons of farmers -e entering the ranks of the pro ssions instead of devoting their inds and hands to the business their fathers, and to aiding in evating agriculture -to the posi on which its importance de iauds.

The state colleges of agricul ure, the departments and boards f agriculture, and the state ~ranges, by. themselves and brough the agency of local clubs, ~ranges, etc., have a wide field of tsetuness open before them.

We have entered upon a broad eld in the discussion of this,sub ect, but with no design of at empting to treat it as its im ortance demands. The questions nvolved are worthy of the atten ion of the best minds in the coun ry ; and these few erude thoughts re given with a view to impress ipon the minds of farmers the mportace and dignity which iaturally belong to their calling.

Help yourself and heaven will help Me learn osave en the chin of a INTENSELY UTTER. A few months ago the daughter of I a Rockland man, who has grown com- i forrably well off in the small grocery I line, was sent away to a 'female col- I lege,' and last week arrived home for i the holiday vacation. 'The old man was in attendance at the depot when I the train arrived, with the old horse I in the delivery-wagon to convey his i daughter and her trunk to the house. When the train had stopped, a be < witching array of dry goods and a I wide-brimmed hat, dashed from the i car, and flung itself into the elderly i party's arms. 'Why, you superlative pa!' she ex- i claimed, 'I'm so utterly glad to see you. The old man was somewhat un nerved by the greeting, but he recog nized the sealskin cloak in his grip as the identical piece of property he had paid for with the bay mare, and he sor& of squat it up in his arms, and planted a kiss where it would do the most good, with a report that sounded above the noise of the depot. In a brief space of time the trunk and its abundant baggage were loaded in. to the wagon, which iras soon bump. ing over the hubbles toward home. 'Pa, dear,' said the young missi surveying the team with a critical eye, 'do you consider this quite ex cessively beyond ?' 'Hey ?' returned the old man with a puzzled air; quite excessively be yond what? Beyond Warren ? I consider it somewhat about ten miles beyond Warren, countio' from the Bath way, if that's what you mean.' '0 no, pa, you don't understand me,' the daughter explained : 'I mean this horse and wagon. Do-you think that they are soulful ?-.do you think they could be studied apart in the light of a symphony, or even a simple poem, and appear as intensely otter to one on returning home as one could express ?' The old man twisted uneasily in his seat, and muttered something about he believed it used to be used for an express wagon before he bought it to deliver pork it:, but the conversation appeared to be traveling in such a lonesome direction. that be fetched the horse a resounding crack on the rotunda, and the severe jolting over the frozen ground prevented further remarks. -Oh, there is that lovely and con summate ma!' screamed the returned collegiate as they drove up at the door, and presently she was lost in the embrace of a motherly woman in spectacles. 'Well, Maria,' said the old man at the supper table, as he nippod a piece of butter off the lump with his own knife, 'and how d'you like your school -' 'Well,.there, pa, now you're sho I mean, Itonsider it far too beyond,' replied the daughter. 'It is too un quenhably ineffable. The girls are so sumptuously stunning-I mean grand-so exquisite-so intense And then the parties, the balls, the rides oh, the past weeks have been one sub lime harmony.' 'I s'pose so,-I s'pose SO:' nervously assented the'old man as he reached for his third cup, 'half full,'-'but how about your books-readin', writin', grammar, rule o' three-how about them ?' 'Pa, don't,' exclaimed the daughter, reproachfully ; 'the rule of three ! grammar ! It is French, and music and painting, and the divine in art that has made my school like the boss -I mean that have rendered it one unbroken flow of rhythmic blis-in comparably and exquisitely all but.' The grocery man and his wife look ed helplessly at each other across the table. After a lonesome pause the old lady said : 'How do you like the biscuits, Ma-, ria?' 'They are too utter for anything,' gushed the accomplished young idly, 'and this plum preserve is simply a poem in itself.' The old man abruptly rose from the table and went out of the room, rub bing his head in a dazed and benumb ed manner, and the mass convention was dissolved. That night he and his wife sat alone by the stove until a late hour, and at the breakfast table the next morning he rapped smartly on his plate with the handle of his knife and remarked.: 'Maria. me an' your mother have -been talkir' the thing over, an' we've come to the conclusion that this oardin'-school business is too utterly il but too much nonsense.
