Arthur came of an old, well-defined
Hud respectable biock, witb juit enough
of aristocratic pride inherited from his
progenitons to give him refinement and
-ell-reliance. At an early tige ho was
left tin orphan, and received the most of

When he wus une-and-twenty he ?vas ad

Vandcrlain, and very soon look a position ,

Thus was life opened for Arthur Gravely
with bright ad? happy promisee, tiatl ti
Oue enemy, and one enemy alone, at
this time ?food in Arthur's path. His
wife did not see it then. She loved him
?o ^?u^^^^ty ^ro^f^^y^3cou*^
A^Tcw of Arthur's friends feared dan
ger, aud one of them more bold than the
real, spoke to him warningly, but kindly ;
ibut. he turned away, from the warning
with a sneer of derision.
From early youth Arthur Gravely bad
found the wino cup among the symbol*
of like'a social phone. He hud used it
upon his sideboard and upon his table ;
and ho-hpd partaken.freely abroad. (Ur
thc carly ye?rs it was wine ana only vvTrnf
of. tho beat, aud the purestw Later,
stronger liquors wen: required to Seep up
thc tone. At the tige of eight-and-tweu
ty, there lind come an undue flush upon
Arthur's cheek, and there were blotches
in the eye which ought not to have been
there. Ho now took brandy before

Ata length Mr. Vandcrluin called Ar
thur into iris orivato closet, and told bim
that.ho waa going to suspend buninen*.
"I have monoy enough.raid Mr.Van

trip at will."
A cloud came upon thc banker's face
and he shook bia head.
"It is too late," he said. "At some
tibie I may tell you mor?."
Shortly after this, in process pf closing
hi? bunine**, Mr. Vandcrlain sent Arthur
to a distant city to make some important
settlement. Arrived at his destination,
the young man called upon the corres
pondent of the hank, and having made
the preliminary arrangement*, ho found
himself with a'few days upon his hunda
which bo might enjoy. On the very
evening of his arrival/ho'hud .mHod "in
with John Hatton and William Robt-rt?.,
two friends and classmates of earlier
years. Ho was startled when he saw
them. They were evidently going down

They regarded him curiously and asked

"You forget, old toy," asid ..Hat&on,
''that you are in fdie same boat..?If vye took

And they did it. They joined hands,
and wromMred' one' another th'at they

*A new1 surprise was-it? atore for Arthdr

''ays before planting. If the place, will

depth of eight-or ten inches. .Lay off i he
rows with .tba plow, or hoe ns the case
may bc, turee loci apart. I do not advise
I planting tho cutting J us deeply as ia gen
erally recommended. Six inches below
the surfuce is deep enough. Put the cut
tings about 14 inched apart with the out
side down, either u??n the naked earth,
or on alight sprinkling nf ashes; then.
cover them with half an inch of earth,'
and fill the trench with a mixture of
ashen/ lime and well rolled stable manure,
and draw oil'two or three inches of earth.
Aller this, either pf tho two following
?laps may be adopted : Cover the w hole
Lud a? .HM ten inches willi pine or any
other at raw,'and the work is done; or
Wait thc conting up,of thc potato plants
'and plow or hoe.well between the row*,

Irish potato is a great absorber of potash,
