' I had been for three year? the teacher of the village school, and was learning to bo very happy iu my love of children, and in my sweet thoughts of the future. Suddculy, in the midst of my tranquil country life, came a letter from Cousin May-a tiny note on pale-tinted, per fumed paper written in tho faintest little scrawl-aaying if it would not trouble us, and we wouldn't make company of her, she would like co much to como to Glen burn and spend a few of those broiling -summer days. Of course I replied that we would be delighted to ace her, and only wished that she might like country* lifo so weU that sae would be willing to stay a lon/ time. Sooner than we expected, the lumber ing stagecoach rattled down the lane, and stopped nt tho garden gate. A broad brimmed bat emerged from tho door, a pair of exquisitely small feet descended the steps, aad as I came forward, the sweeetest silvery voice in all tho world, tedd: "Is this Cousin Alice Glenn ?" and be fore I could got a look at thc face beneath '?Mim li-* '-l:- n.<Mju?t tn MMJ II til, UCI DOIUI Ulm tfCIX - - - mine in a right cousinly kiss. Believed of her trappings, half-rcclin lng on the lounge in our small sitting room, I thought my cousin May the sweetest picture that my eyes hau ever seen. Now, when I look back, I smile at the recollection of my infatuation. But I loved her for her beauty, and I wondered that every one else did not share my pas sion. Just as she was rehearsing to mo the details of her last flirtation with a "real French count, at Washington last win ter," a shadow suddenly failing across the floor startled us. May screamed with JrfrbtbuUealdz " "O, it is only John. .-How dojoudo? I didn't expect yon borne BO soon. ' Thia is Mr. Gordon, May-Miss Dutton, John." T t She greeted him with all tho ease and grace of he conventional breeding. John never appel ved to better advantage, fan ning himself with his straw hat, ai?d an swering hor lively sallies with a dry, pun gent wit that ho indulged in bot rarely, but then, it waa so rich and humorous that I could only ait and laugh at them. He took my band in a parting clasp, as usual, when he left me at the little gate, ana May put out ber small, white band, too. He took it in hia hard, hroWn one. looked down, with tho*- jtrango half amito in his eyes, upon that llttlo dim plod hand, closed his fingers over it, then turned away. John Gordon h. J been my school-mato in childhood; hui his father was rich, and had given him superior advantages for education and travel, and daring his college lifo, I had felt that there was an impossible social gulf between us-I, poor Alice Glenn, with nothing but my pure conscience and hopeful, prayerful wot an'a heart and willing nando-he, the accomplished gentleman and scholar, with bis proud and ambitious hopes. I shall never forget tho day. one holy Sabbath afternoon, that we walked home from church together, down the little bridge across the Monawk stream. John had a happy look about his mouth, as ho drew my arm through hia, in a tender way, ana said : "Lean on me, Alice." * I laughingly complied, and looked up in to hie eyes. He looked down upon me with that BOU!->i?orhtncr gogo Mint ? could not misunderstand, and as my eyes drooped. ' he Inid his hand caressingly on mino, anet said, gravely : r> "Alice , Glenn, I lovo you, and I ?rough? you boro to tell you so. Ara you willing?" ' A deep thrill bf happiness went through my heart, and I think he saw tho gladness in my eyes, for ho kissed me, and smiled, but pleaded: "Answer me, Alice." ! answered him frankly. "I could love you, John, but-" "But what, darling?" he said, kissing me again. "Sui. I as? sfrahi you tfotitd not alway* love me. John. I don't sea why you love me. I have neither beauty, wealth nor accomplishment, and you might marry all these." He drew me to him In a close embrace, and his voice waa tremulous with emotion, as ho replied.: "My own Alice, you wrong me by juch words. Beauty and richea and accom Slishmcnts ?xe .but dross in the world of omestio lpve. I love you for your kind and womanly heart and because I think you ew tt*e;me the best wefljh ?on earth -a pure arid constant love. Never give such thoughts a place in your heart again. I have loved you a longtime. I shall always lovo you. You will not doubt mo a?s&?JLlffie? my Cloyed ?" And in the quiet calm of t?d? new and holy bappissss, I thought I c"uld never doubt Joan Gordon. A year hid passed since then. In the morning he came for us early, and we walked down to the rustle wharf whore bia little boat lay rocking in the str?am. The wind was fair, and wo wore soon enjoying tho delicious luxury of a sail on a fragrant July morning. ? ?. "Tate tho bela % m?nate, Ailee, while I hoist the jib." "O, let me, let me I" cried May, spring ing forward, eagerly. But John cf.aght both her hands, and said, play&Uy: "Who do you think would trust the holm of the.* ship In the hands of such "Hriffi^|),|Allco,'-Ei;mJoiin. -'JLook ouU??y !' Ho 'just caught lier in his arms, as the sall swung heavily around, or she might have found her grave In the garden of lilies;, but John caught her in his arms, and held her there; ' talking foolish non sense to her. "I believe I shall have to tie you fast to tho'meei, to keep you from running your head into all posslblo danger. Why can't you behave pooraelf, liko good cousin Alice?" Yea, ha held'her.? ?here'til| th* yfarm crimson flushed her very brow, then ho smiled the strange smile again, and came and sat by me, and teased me tor being so sober. . , ' 1 Ti. _~:--t_ll -^J.

I shall bo better soon." I tried to turn away from him, but he silently and firmly lifted my head from tho pillow, and laid it against his shoul der. I wo? too ?reak and too weary to ?cois t.

"Did you ever regret, John, the hour in which you asked mu to bo your wife?" "Havo I ever given you reason to think that I repented it, Alice ?" It was vain to parley longer, so I rc? solved to tell hisi nil, and then free bim from the light bonds that bound us; but just then, May's step on the ?tair startled mc, and I tried to free myself from his oncircling arm. What would she tuink to see us thus ? But he refused to role-.HO me, and so I was forced to wonder at tho Btrango forco ho was playing, and I could only cover my face with my hands. May came and knelt by my side. "Aro you really sick. Cousin Alise? What can I do for you ?" She laid ono hand on John's arm. but he answered her coldly, drawing mc closer] to his side. '"Don't disturb her. Muy; she has a severe headache, and is not able to tull:. Let ber be quiet, please." May took the ni nt, and said she would help. Aunt Sarah get Bunper. As she tamed to leave thc room, John asked : "How would you like a little grcon snake for a necklace, May ?" She screamed a little cityfied scream of horror, and ran to the kitchen. John laughed and I nnturnlly inquired what it meant. "Well, if you will be a dear girl, and keep still"-laying my bend on his shoul der, and. smoothing back my hair-"1 will tell you all about it. This afternoon I was lonesomo like, and so I came up hero to seo you, and not hearing your voices, I thought I knew wbcro to find you. 80 I went up to your ivy-bower, and there, to bo sure, wai your namby pamby city cousin all alone, reading tho "Wandering Jew." "Well ; go on, John. You found May at the grotto, instead of Alice and wore very well pleased with the exchange-did not even mis? me."; j O Ci fi Q "How could I mist you, foa?cfi ing'company-so-lovely arfo* beautiful and accomplished ? ?, no, I never missed yon, Alice. Jt?ut I havo seen city belles rusticating before. I think I cnn with stand oven the witchery of such a witch as your cousin. But let me tell you all about it. I do think, Alice, that she would not scruple to steal somebody's lover." John kissed me. . , .. "So we laughed*, and talked nonsense, when suddenly thc little flirt screamed out. And what do yon suppose it was? Nothing in the world- but n little, green snake, coiled around lier nrm 1 I took it off and threw it into tho stream, but she was so white and helpless that I had to hold her up-Bho rather seemed to enjoy it, though, and leaned her head against my shoulder quite as if she had a right tc." "Of course that was exceedingly un- ' pleasant to yon-how disagreeable it muBt have been." John laughed. "I really bolievo my Alice is getting jealous. Couldn't sho givo us something tragic, now? There, there, child; of connie I didn't refuse to ?et her iean on mr, when Ahe was fc.?t?ig away with terror; and I supposo it wasn't so very disagreeable-does that provo I am not loyal to my darling? Not a bit. It was only perverse, masculine human nature. Perhaps I chided ber a little for being so childish ; afraid of a little tmakc. she wanted to know what yen would have dono. I told her that my Alice was a' woman of nerve, and not Ouo of thc faint-; ing sort ; but what is this-tears, dearest?j Now, Alice, de tell me what trouble? you.' I can't bear to seo you crying, and I not comfort you. You must tell me." And, sitting there in the little country; parlor, with ms clear, truthful eyes look-; ing into my face, I told him all. Tho jealous fears, thc invidious cempariyens between ?iuy'a beauty and my own plain ness-all tho pain and-, wretchedness.!

How Nutmegs Grow. An old whaler ttila, in the American Grew, all about nutmegs. This spice; so much used in the family, is indigenous to tho Moluccas, reaching ita greatc?t Krfection iu Amboyna. This island be-, iga to the Dutch, who do not permit the cultivation of tho nutmeg in other islands, under their control. The nutmeg tree is tweuty-Sve 0? thirty feet high when fully, grown, with foliage of a rien dark green, and very plentiful. It reaches caa .urity of full productiveness,, et?thq fifteenth; year from planting.] .Farana ihoblcafcom to the ripening of tho fruit takes about seven months, bul as the tree is a peren nial bearer there are always blossoms, green tait and ripe on the tree, The yield is moat plentiful in the last four months of the year. The average yield per annum of n healthy tree is fivo pounds of nutmegs acid one and enc fourth pounds of hice, i A plaut?iWof one thousand requires the labor of ?even coolies, fifty oxen, and two ploughs for cultivation -and'harvesting. The fruit is gathered by moana of a book at tached to s lana* onie. It Ia shanad like a pear about tho alee of a peach, and bia a delicate "bhw>&."

That there in an in timate connection between the prevailing winds and their migration-that theil rigging is not adapted to Hailing against thc wind, or .even clone-hauled ; and, 2, That their, periodical visits "coincided with unusual seasons, and that there arc cycles of years recurring, favorable oi ' unfavorable to insect life. 1 Therefore it will bc possible t predict : their arrival and preparer fer (.acm.
