comely now?"
She swept back her long lmlr from h
face, but without displacing the lock
that curled like a snake around her
throat; and then as I looked at her, she
broke into a low, wailing cry :
“ I had the fairest face in Salem—old
Chilllugworth’s daughter? ‘ The grass

ron used to tell me it wan but a vain

‘“No testa, my little Mayflower,"
Roger Vine said soltly, as he* held mo

my last sight of them so marred. It is
only for a little space, sweetheart. 1

“ 4 Why—why will you go, R- ger .” 1
cried, as 1 dung round him; and 1 asked
!t ouly to hear over again what I knew
before quite well; Gov. Wiiuhi>p, whose
blood relation he was, had sent him hen*,
The mi turner crept on, and the hot days
shortened their fierce fires, and the Au
gust liaw was in the sky; tho golden rod
shook out Its plumes nil along the dry,
dusty rood, and tho ragged white thistle
down blew here and there. I watched
for the first change along the dark bir
ders of the woods—for the red leaves, and
for Roger; hut one morning I woke up
and saw the white frost glittering on
some blackened, drooping vines around
my window, and u broad splash of scar
let, like blood, dashed across the maple
trees, and no lover came riding down the
road, or straying through tho Bnlcm wood
to find me.
. never more! 1 had the lost
kiss on my Ups forever, for none touched
them after Roger Vane. Tho leaves
turned crimson, nnd golden, and rupsat-
brown, and withered and dropped from
the Imre trees; the dark November days
glowed over tho lnndj nnd my lover never
came. No word had I from him no
ilgrt; I knew not if he were among the
living or the dead, until Gideon Giles,
coming homo in the early winter from* a
week’s journey to Boston, told me, as he
sat in the elbow-chair by our hearth, that
he had seen guy young Roger Vane.
"Ho I knew that Roger Vane was liv
ing, ami hud forgotten me. 1 could have
borne his death, I could not bear his
scorn. The bitterness of hell crept into
my houI, and taught me hatred of nil
mankind. I shrunk away from the Might
of human facca, and in gloom and soli
tude iito my own heart away with brood
ing upon its despair. (> my vain beauty!
O eruel dower that brought my full!
Two soft months of early summer,
against the long, dreary winter’s cold—
tint warmth of kisses in green, glancing
wood, anti the icy walls of Halotll jail—
tho crowd on Witch’- Hill, the strung-
JUlg' rope, Die darkness of the death-
struggle, and tho trackless abysses of
eternity — there things my fair face
brought me—me, olu Chillingworth’s
proud daughter?*
" I Imd no ft nr of God or man," mur
mured on the voice again; “and my
mouth was full of hitler words, and I
dolled both in my heart and on my lips."
“ Tho land was still astir with cries of
witchcraft, and Parson Mntlicr was nt
his bloody work, in the name of God.
On the long, low hills fayond Halem
stood llm gihfals, where old .Mrs. Nurse
had suffered, nnd Uoodwifo Corey, ami
tho old and frail, and the strong, young
limbs had swung against the sky for pit
iless mobs to 11 be at. There were cruel
tongues in Halem that whispered against

old, in that wretched April—whom
Roger Vane Imd loved I There were
those who swore to hitter threats that l

prayers and eries that had another name

I stole out III the foreut to meet my foul,

heard me call him to my side as ho stray
'd through the trees near me. And u
•hiltl whom I had pushed from my wav
an1 walked down Halora street, had fal
len in, and cried, in its atrnnge fils, that
father ('hillingworth tormented him ;
and my old father's honor and his gray
hair could not stive me, nor my youth,
and my poor, fading beauty. * They
bagged me from his house and cast me
Into Halem jail; they locked the heavy
door, anil drew the creaking failis last.
I left nit' crouched under the grated
window to stare up, in my blind anguish

Thou came the crowded court-room,
tiny after tiny ; the solemn, unflinching
face of tho gray old judge; the hot, stil
ling air, aud tho suiishTno through the
glaring row of windows, and tho jeering,
cruel women, nnd merciless men, the
writhing children, who in their lying tits
played like devils’ babes with my life,
ami tiling it away; the screams and
curses lifted up ngaint me ; the slow, cold
viocca ol tho w ise old men who were
giving me to death for an old wile’s tale;
and the dark walls of the jail—the damp,

went, nnd asked no mercy at their
hands.
“There was one faro in the crowd
that had a pitying look for me, though
it with only a young lad’i—young Mar
tin Brown’s—whom I had counted a
child only a year ago, but who Imd
grown of late to look with a man’s eyes
at me. I saw the hot rage and the hit

crowd in the court room, and listened
and could not speak to mo; aud one
night—a wild, rainy night—he stole
under the window of tho jail, where i

‘I have seen him.*

He seemed to hang his head lower
and lower, as if he feared to meet my
eyes.

“‘And ho snid--whnt did be say?

“Tlmt was all that I heard. The

As regards plants, unless the basket fa

This is what the Journal of Chemistry
has to say on this point:
"There shn'uld seem no gin si reason

People often look nt trees growing on
rocky hill-side.* and argue therefrom that
trees can grow without manure. They
know that potatoes and other vegetables
must have manure or they will not
tnrive, but they regard trees a* a differ
ent order of vegetation, romething that
can thrive where nothing else would.

The rocka themselves often con

In level land trees must fa manured.
Iu many ca-es, it is as necessary to the

If the trees are on ground where vegeta

and the roots of the fruit trees light with
those of the vegetables for some of it, and
get it too. But there are many orchards,
where no crops are grown but the trees,
