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

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

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. . , '

Bho found me,' ut Inst,' ?nd came ten
derly to my side, asked if I was sick, lay*
inc that same fair hand on my brow.
"'Hero is a letter for May," said Acm)
Sarah, and May retired to her room.
John came in and spoke to mo.
"Are you sick, Alice ?"
"No, no ! I am only tired-don't
frighten Aunt Sarah. 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.
"Now tell me what troubles you, Alice,
Haven't I a right to know?" ? J \
"Do you really think you have a right
to know all my thoughts, John?"
"J thought you had given me the priv.
Llego of always sharing your joys and
sorrows. Alice"; but if you regret it, dari?
ing, toll me so frankly, now, befreit is
too late."
"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.!

black as an Egyptian night over my life;

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;

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>&." The nut has three
coverings; the outside one ia a thlojr,

Of tile locust or grasshopper. The $25,

expenses of five learned entomologist*, or
men of culture in the matter of bugs.
Not having noticed any subsequent action
in the Senate or House in the matter, it
is probable that, in the excitement of
canvassing thc Electoral vote, an unin
tended alight hus been put upon the
grasshopper. -
The duty of the Commission, when or
6suited on a $26,000 cash basis, is in
mded to be to examine into tho history
and habits of the insect. They are not
to bo confined to tho nomadic or grega
rious caprices of thc Kansas and Ne
braska hopper merely, but aro expected
to make a careful study of the tastes and
temperament of the isolated insect as oc
casionally found solemnly viewing the
romantic scenery of New England. Thia
ls calculated to equalize the investigation,
so tar as the $25,000 appropriation ts con
cerned. Thc Commission are-to havo

Professor Packard has been for sumo
time past engaged in thc Western Terri
tories, where the lively "titilo insect moat
does congregate, in collecting a moss of
information concerning its migratory and
dietary habits, and thinks ho has suffi
cient data to begin thc construction of a
mnr,~r*. grasshopper mop of tho United
States-indicating in colors its distribu
tion and migration. He has consulted
Professor Abbe, of the Weather Signal
Bureau. Tboy havo_jointly como to
these conclusions: 1. 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. Ir

Iirovidcd at a small expense with a Crass
topper Bureau and a Grasshopper "Prob

they may bo of mutual assistance, thu:
