A LOST CHANCE.
mem*
It was mid-sammer, and Lilian
Fct’iruson had never seen a Ldrer scone
than the billows of bluo hills that lay
stretched out below her, with here and
there the U.ish of a half-hidden lake, or
the ribbon-like glitter of n tiny river.
She stood loaning against tho rustio
E ost that Tornied tho support of the
ooking ( Hi •<; of tho small rural sta
tion, while her modest little trunk and
traveling bags were piled up at the
rear.
. “Don’t fret, miss,” said the station- charming
master, porter, and booking clerk com- “
bined, who was bustling in and out
“Tho omnibus will be here soon.”
“Oli, I am in no hurry for the bus!”
said Lilian, pleasantly. “I could stand
and look at this beautiful landscape all
day.”
"Ain’t that strange now?” reflect
ively uttered tho official. “We never
think about it at all.”
“Is the omnibus often ns late as
this? ’ said Lilian, glancing at her neat
little silver watch.
“Not generally,” said the station-
master; “but to-day they’re waiting at
the Rectory for the deaf-and-dumb
gentleman.”
“For whom?” said Lilian, in amaze
ment.
“For tiie deaf-and-dumb gentleman,
miss,” explained the station-master.
“A cousin of our minister’s. He’s been
down hero for treatment; but dear me,
there ain’t no treatment can ever do
him any good. As deaf as a stone,
miss, and never spoke an intelligent
word since ho was born. But they do
say he’s a very learned man, in spite
Of ail his drawbacks.”
“I’m afraid ho won’t bo a very lively
traveling companion,” said Lilian,
smiling.
“No, I suppose not,” said the sta
tion-master, in a matter-of-fact sort of
way.
Just at that moment a wagonette
drove up; the driver handed out a va
lise, and assisted a young lady to
alight.
“Has tbe omnibus gone?” she cried,
flinging aside her veil, and revealing &
very pretty brunette face, shaded bv
jetty fringes of hair and flushed with
excitement.
“You’re just in time, miss,” said Mr.
Jones, peering down tho*winding road,
which Ills experienced oyo could trace,
when no one clse’s was of any avail.
“It’s a-comin’ now!”
But Lilian Ferguson, who had been
gazing at the new comer earnestly,
now came forward with an eager smile
and an outstretched hand.
“Surely I am not mistaken.” said
she, “and this is Ellen Morton?”
“Lilian Ferguson!” Oh, vou darl
ing, I am so glad tp see you!’'cried the
stranger. “But where on earth did
you come from?”
And thus met the two lovely girls
who had parted just a year ago at
Madame de Tournairo’s fashionable
^oarding-school in Scarborough, and
who had not seen each other since.
Just at this moment, however, there
was no time for explanations. The
ponderous omnibus rolled np, with
creak of leathern curtains, tramp of
horses, and a general confusion of
arrival, to tho broad wooden stops of
the station.
The sun was already down. In the
twilight, Ellon and Lilian could only
discover that tho vehicle contained but
one other occupant, a man, who leaned
back in tho far corner, with the top of
his faco partially hidden by a large,
wide-brimmed hat, and its lower part
wrapped in tho folds of a Persian silk
pocket-handkerchief.
He inclined his head courteously as
they entered, and moved a handsome
traveling case which lay on the middle
seat, as if to make room for them.
“Is there another passenger?” said
Miss Morton, with a little, nervons
start
‘Tt's only a deaf-and-dumb gentle
man,” Lilian explained, her eyes full
of soft pity. “Tho station-master told
me about him-”
“What a nuisance!” cried Ellen. “I
had hoped wo shpnld have tbe drive to
don’t” observed Miss Morton. “Why,
my dear, here is your career all chalked
ont for you. Sentimental widower,
with lots of money—pretty governess-
mutual fascination—growing devotion
—finale, a wedding! Hey! presto,
yonr fortune is made!”
“Ellen, how can you talk so?” cried
Lilian, flushing and indignant “I
am not on a husband-bunting expedi
tion; I am simply trying to earn my
own living.”
“The more goose yon, to neglect
such an opportunity as this,” said
Ellen, laughing. “If yon don’t try for
the widower, I shall Grove Rookery
is only half a mile from Chessington
Hall, after all; and a rich husband
would eel ve tbe problem -of my life, at
once.”
“This is too ridiculous, Ellen!” said
Lilian. “I conld not respect myself if
I were to plot and plan like this. I
know it is unjust but you hare made
me dislike Mr. Chessington already.”
“The more tho better,” said Miss
Morton. “They say he is very hand
some; and one could ft*silv send the
children away to bo&rdfcq^chool I
can assure you. I’ll haVe no old-maid
aunts and interfering unetes about the
premises.”
“Ellen, let us talk some'
else,” said Lilian, restfintely.
me all that has happened to yon since
wo saw each other last”
Ellen laughed ont a merry, tinging
laugh.
“Well, if yon must know,” said the,
“I’ve been trying my best to get a
nice husband, but without any suc
cess.”
“Is matrimony, then, the end and
aim of all tho world?” said Lilian, with
queenly disdain.
“As far as I am concerned—yes,”
much as think of her conversation in
the omnibus that night, without hot
indignation at herself.
“What a fool I was!” she cried.
( Mr. Chessington, however, much at
he liked and admired Lilian Ferguson,
never asked her to marry him.
“When 1 was widowed onco it was
forever,” ho said.
And Lilian never coveted tho priie
of his heart; perhaps because she was
engaged to a rising young olorgyman.
“If only I had Lily’s opportunities!”
said Miss Morton. “But I wrecked my
chances when I spoke out my mind so
freely before the deaf-and-dumb gentle
man!”

“How tedious nil this is!” said she.
“Miss Ferguson turned lectnrer, oh?
How 1 wish that poor fellow in the
corner wasn’t deaf and dumb! I’d flirt
with him, just to aggravate you, Lily!”
Lilian made uo answer. She leaned

THE BURNING OF BARNS.
It is noticeable, says the Scysntifk

burnings of bams are mentioned by tbe
periodical press in the summer that at

undoubtedly caused by llghmlng, the

making a favprable oondootor for the
electric fluid. Bat there are ham fires
which cannot bo attributed to lightning,
to lighting of matches, to ligut from
lanterns, nor to the invasions of earo-
less-tramps. It mag be that the spon
taneous combustion of Mv is as possi-
Mfl as the-spontaneous tring of cotton (Wl the
waste. All flbrous material wMh
moist, and compressed, and defended
from the cooling inflaenoes of the oat-
ward air, is subjected to a heating simi
lar to that of fermentation) and in some
instances the degree of heat is snifiolent
to canso actual, visible combustion. In
the case of recently “cured” hay this
danger is as great as, in similar cir
cumstances. other materials may be.
Frequently the grass is ent in the early

§
settled herself in tho most comfortable
corner, “tell mo what this unexpected

“It means,” said Lilian, with a shy
smile, **that I am going to be nursery
overness at Chessington Hall, that is,
f I give satisfaction. I was engaged
by a letter a week ago.”
“What a very singnlar coincidence,”
said Miss Morton, snaking her cherry-
colored bonnet-strings. “And I am
going to be oompanion to old Mrs.
Grove, of Grove Rookery, tho very next

“Envy me, Ellen F” i. -

young bachelor at Chessington HaU.”
Lilian Oolored hotly. m
“Neither of whom! expect % •—* ”

better than Ellen’s shallow chatter!
Grove Rookery was soon reached,
and Miss Morton bado her old school

“I see that tho old lady has sent tho
carriage to meet me,” said she. ‘Good-
by, Lily! You must bo sure to intro
duce mo to tho charming widower
whoa I come over. Au rqvoir, darling
—aurevoir!"
Tho deaf-and-dumb gentleman left
the omnibus very soon. Miss Fergu
son watched with some interest but no
carriage of anv description seemed to
be waiting for him.
He disappeared into tho woods like
a shadow, and vanished from her
sight
“I suppose, poor follow, that ho lives
near here,” thought she. “How dread
ful it must be, thus to be cut off from
all companionship with one’s fellow
beings!”
But even while these reflections
passed through her mind, tho omnibus
stopped again, before a glittering
facade of lights, half-veiled in swaying
summer foliage—Chessington Hall!
“Here you arc, miss,” said tho
driver.
Through the summer evening dusk,
Lilian could see tho marble-railed ter
race and tho broad carriage drive,
while two child fijjhres danced up and
down, and uttered joyful exclamations
of welcome—little Blanche and Alice
Chessington!
“Are you the new governess?”.said
they. “Are you Miss Ferguson? Wel
come—welcome! Wo are so glad that
you have come!”
And in an instant their arms were
twined around Lilian’s neck.
At the end of a month Lilian Fergu
son felt completely and thoroughly at
home with her now pupils.
They had ranged the woods, and vis
ited ail the grottoes and cascades; they
had surrounded her with an atmos
phere of the sweetest affection.
Mrs. Hartleigh, their annt, was
equally kind; and Alfred Hartleigh, the
interesting young ancle, had already
taken her into his eonfidenaxas.lathe
beautiful bride ho was going to brin^
home soon. , ^
But it certainly was very strange
that she never had seen Adrian Chess
ington himself, the father of her lovely
little pupils.
Until one pleasant morning, when,
just as she had come ont to receive
Miss Morton, who had driven over in
the Grove Rookery carriage to call a
tall, haadsome gentleman entered the
room, with Mra Hartleigh on his arm.
“The deaf-and-dumb gentleman!”
Lilian involuntarily exclaimed.
“Poor fellow, so it is!” said Miss
Morton, who advanced airily, shaking
ont tho light mnslin flounces of her
dresa “How ho does haunt ns. to bo
surel”
“Ladies,” said the deaf-and-dnmb
entlem&n, “you are mistaken. I can
ear and speak, to-day, as well as
anybody. I should have spoken to

had not boon for tho unfortunate cir
cumstance of my having just been

broken in tho extraction of a double

Mr. Denton, a deaf-mute, who lives
near here; bat ho had been detained
until tho next day, and with my band
aged face it was impossible Ion: me to
speak and explain matters.”,, f
Ellen Morton’s face glowed scarlet
She literally knew not what to say.
Bat Lilian Ferguson stood - calm and
unmoved.
“Then,” she said smiling, “all our
sympathy was thrown away upon
you.’’
He inclined hla head.
“Exactly,’* he said. “1 found the
next day that it was necessary to pat
myself under the care of a surgeon, so
that I have been a sort of exile for a
few weeks. Pardon my being so late

Tbe Videos Character of tho Tallow
Candle.
The air of a room lighted by gas is
heated twenty times as much as if it
were lighted to an equal extent by in
candescent electric lamps. When aro-
lamps are used, the comparison is still
more in favor of electricity. Yon will
be surprised to know that onr old
friend, the tallow candle, and even the
wax candle, is far worse than gas in the
proportion of air vitiated and the heat
f reduced; and yon will be disposed to
elieve it But the fact is, that so long
as candles were used, light was so ex
pensive that we were obliged to be con
tent with little of it; in fact, we lived
in a state of semi-darkness, and in this
way we evaded the trouble. It is only
since the general introduetion of mb

and before it is dry throughout. If
should bo put into shocks made from
four hills square in place of the old six
teen hills square, and bound around
the top by rye straw, twine or a
corn stalk. It is well to bend the
sols down, binding the tops nnder, thus
taming the rain. In the coarse of two
four weeks, depending' upon the
to
weather, tbe small shocks may easil
be busked out and the corn cribbed.
The band will not have to be removed
nor the shock taken down in basking.
After husking tbs hills of corn aroond
which the shock is made, as fast as the
skock is wanted, may be cut, and the
fodder of the shock may be qnicUy and
easily, by one man, passed to the wag
on for stacking, tim band aronnd the
shock always remaining on. Thus
treated it will be tender, more palata
ble and more nutritious, and, when fed
with clover, cotton-seed meal, or mid
dlings, will be nearly all eaten. It will
also be handled from the start at Isas
exoense than by tho system of sixteen
hills square shocks.
CATTLE nr MEADOW’S.
Old meadows from which crops have
been gathered will soon have consider
able aftergrowth under the influsnoe of
favorable rains. While grass on pastors
fields is shortened there is s strong
temptation to graze meadows. If no
injury would follow of conns advant
age ihight be had by pastaring them,
but injury doss follow. The best way
to increase the yield of meadows that
do not come up to the standard fir la
permit the aftergrowth to remain ss a
winter protection to the mote of the
grasses. It is true, growth may be so
heavy as to defeat the pnrpoee tm view.
In such ease the grass, falling closely
upon the roots In s thick mat; may
smother them in winter to sneh a de
gree as to reduce vitality and interfere
with foil production tho following sea
son. When this aftergrowth Is too
large moderate pasturing is beneficial,
bat close gnslng Is always injurious la
meadows, especially when the grass Is
in s large proportion timothy. As a
substitute fir grazing, when the after
growth is large mowing can ha
