MY FLIRTATION. 1 bad plenty of Immiiix when I young, and liked that vory well. How- •yer, I had heart enough at bottom, and wbeti Stephen Lash ley naked mo to marry him, in tho end I conncntod, though I kept him in miMiieiiHn along at flint. Neither Steve nor I were rich. My fathor had Nuflicient income to keep the family in a good stylo of living; but ho nitvotl nothing, and I could ex|>ert noth ing from him when I married. Move Imdjunt begun to pructice medicine, and wan struggling an young doctorn muit. There wan a pretty bouso jusl outside tho towu that Hteve and I had our eye on for a long time, and I had promiHcd to become hin wife an noon an he could (rail It hla own. flydlntof Much nlniggling and econ omy an I never could have guessed, lie hail put by enough for tho Amt payment, and wan plodding patiently on toward the second and lust. I can nee now what a nciflnh creature I wan, whnt it wretch, indeed, to plonno mynelf with tho flattoricN of othera while SUivo wan working no faithfully for me. Thatnounda aa though I wasn’t going to marry StoVo for love, but I wan. Our town wan nomethlng of a fiutli- IoiihIiIo runort lor nummor boarders; ami mauyof the pooplo wore in tho habit of inking boardern then. Father had nl- wayn objected to our doing ho; but thin nummor of which I apeak lie foil in with a stranger, iih he wnn returning from a long rido in tho country, who having shared hinphielon with him during Ike homeward drive, succeeded In no in gratiating hlmticli with my lather that he allowed him to hoard with ua. The ntranger wnn very much in my linn—distinguished looking, possessing an eloquent pair of eyes, nearly the ooior of my own. and having a propen sity to Maying "prltty things" that wan Just deUoloun to a girl of my turn. It wan nuoh fun to draw him out, and then laugh at him; to protend pleasuro then nlivuesn; to invite and repulse in the name breath. It was a genuine flirtation, ns much no to him aa to mu. Hteve came often to nee me, hut ho did aot nee mo alono, and ho nvvor stayed late. Hteve’s sinter Marian and l were inti mate, and spent much time together, l’oor Hteve enjoyed iuv visits to Marian much botUr than ho did seeing mo any where ulne, and I likod it too, hh much hooause of scelug him as Marian. It wan then a miserable piece of hoartlennnesn for me to permit Mr. Fordyco, tiro "ntranger,” to RQcompnny me thitlrer, thus parading, as it were, my oonquent, and the accomplish incut muni at trad hum of Steve's new rival, in tho most din- agreeable mauner poasihlo. Hlove wan good-natured, and kept thin disappointment to himself, but,lie did not like Mr. Fordyco, and he wanquito alone In that. Kverydody liked Mr. Fordyco but Hteve, Ho wan an immensely popu- lar man in our nmull oommuuity, enter ing an he did with such genuine real into all our interests, and hearing himself genially towards ail. When Panen Hammond, who lived nearest to us, lost a valuable horse from his ntabid, and camo over to our house to wo about pursuing the thief, Mr. Fordyco. though lie had just got homo from a jauut with some * friends which kept him almost of the night, inninted on bring one of the pursuing party, and, indeed, quite led it. It wan tho* same when Air. l.iudevaut's alien was lirokcu- o|ien and robbed. Mr. Fordyco went* over aud over tho ground, and gave shrewder guesses an to how the robbery ha«l been managed tlinn anyone else. When other tholts of a similar nature, and alno of lesser degree, continued to rex and nuzzle ua from ftimo to lime, it was Mr. Fordyco who insisted on severe measures, prevailed on the authorities to ofl'er large rewards Tor the apprehen sion of the eflhnders, and made iw-gwlf so active in tho matter a* to win the gratitude of the whole town. He often joined our social gatherings and lie came the life of them. I was quite envied in having his escort mi frequently, and the rumor was very soon circulnted that we were engaged. Hteve and I had some words on the sub ject several times; and because it was s.» unusual for him to insist in such n matter, l resented it when ho did; ami the more I nus|iected myself to t*o wrong, the more I resolved l would notoqru it. 1 detooled Hteve’s dislike of Mr For- dyoe, aud taxed him with it. Hteve said nothing, but he onlyVbook his head and looked gravely at me when I praised him. He never sAid worse about Mr. Fordyco than that he did not believe in him. Steve objected to my intimaev with him on rather general grounds, anil I answered in such an i!ltcm|>cred man ner that Steve, not being ioc. and flint, ntruch fire and retorted angrily for the fimt time in all our acquaintance. The iemit was n serious coolness. Hteve a i hi log iml for hts part the next day, but I listened cooly and retained my anger. 1 flirted with Mr. Fordyco more des perately than ever after’that, but the afiair had rvallv lost al! its relish for me. I went recklessly on my foolish eourae, till Mr. Fordyce in mj wauy wordi asked u»e to marry Liw 1 do cot know whnt it wan about the man that all at once struck mo as insincere. I know that ho did not moan what he said ; and yet ho wore a vory love-like air, and ho would have clasped and kissed mo if I had not shrunk swiftly away. I answered biro, howover, as though ho had spoken sincerely, and told him, what I do not often acknowledge, 1 was en gaged to Htovo Iaahioy. No man likes to hear “No" from a woman’s lips when even his petition is an idle one. For tho first time I saw Mr. Fordyce’s face dis torted with a sneer of mingled angor and dislike, and I knew that my poor Htevo’a strange feeling toward Mr. Fordyce wan reciprocated l»y that gentleman with equal intensity. One night there wan a party at Htevo’s father’s. It was Martin's birthday. Mr. Fordyco took me over about 8 o'clock* II was a gay party. NVo had dancing, which we lo not always have, and the music and supper were good, I danced with Hteve several times, and, being in good spirits, found it rattier difficult to maintain the distance I had lately adop ted towards him. His eyes, U**, hail such a soft, tender light in them, and his Him such brightness. “Como into the garden a minute, Hell," he whispered to moat tho clone of a dance; “I have something to nay to you;"—and fo*- tlie life of mo I could not nay no. When we were in tho bright moonlit garden he stopped where a clump of lilac hunlicn hid tin from the house, and drew from Inn Ikihoiii a roll of noten. “I shall finish paying for our bouse, to-morrow, dear,” he said in a voice that exclusive iiappiuenn mado tremulous. “1 drew tho money from the bank to-day -twenty-five hundred.dollars. Ah, how 1 havo worked for thin hour!” I should have been harder than a mill stone if I had not forgotten all my fool ish anger at that moment, if I had not meitou rather from my coldness; for 1 was aa glad as he was, and 1 dropped my head on his shoulder there in the moon light, and cried happy, happy, remorse less tears. "Hteve,“ I said, “you ahall let me keep tho money till morning. I shall think I have dreamed if you don't." Hteve laughed, hut let me have my way. Ah, what a foolish whim it was! Few women would have dared to take charge of ouch a sum of money ; and fewor men would have permitted them. Hut Hteve knew It was as safe, to all common calculation, with mo as with himself. Am we turned toward tho house for a single instant I thought I saw the shadow of a man across our path ; Imt, looking back, I saw nothing hut the lilac hushcH tossing in the summer air. “What’s tho matter?"said Hteve, noticing my backward ga/.e. " i inought I saw tho figure of a man rowing the path," I replied. “Nonsense!" wild he; and wo were indoors. Well, Hteve and I wefe the happiest pair there that night: and Mr. Fordyco saw, and could not quito keep Ills eyes from saying that he haled us both for it, or I fancied so. Tho party broke up at twelve o’clock ; that was late lor tin, and Mr.Fordyco, having brought mo there, took me homo. On tho way lie Laid mo of another rob- bery that had token place tho night Ire- lore at one of tho hotels A^fcrson lmd been robbed of live hundred dollars, which he had just received at the bank. Perhaps it was that story that made me, tired as I was, lies low some thought on a hiding place tor Sieve's money. L pondorod vory ntriously as I took dowir my hair aud arranged for tho night; thou with a laugh at my own ingenuity I tucked the roll of notes in my luxurant tresses, and drew a net over to hold ail in place. 1 was asleep almost tho instant my head touched the pillow. I ought to have slept soundly and dreamed happy dronms, hut I did not. Home counter influence soeined to ruffle my Hlumborsnnd I awoke. Homo one was in my room. I knew it as well ns though I could see, and tho » was too dark for that. There was no sound either, but for all that I knew is not alone. I tried to scream, to raise my voice. 1 was frozen with tor- tor. I never thought once of tho money, t robbers, or anything that I know of. was only frightened so that I could not move hand or loot, or make a noise. 1 d*n't knowjhut I stop| eii)lueathii\g. I can remember yet how cold I felt, though tho night was warm. Huddeniy, without the warning of a breath I was conscious that a hand nas creeping steadily ulamt my pillow. I did not think of money even then, i terror had stolen my senses, so now it brought some of thorn wick. I gave one scream and sprang from tho bed, or tried to. Two strong hands dropped mo; a firm hand bald mo, while tho othorhnnd vainly sought to loose my hair. The not, more obstinate than nets usually are, would not conic off probably because, in his hurry, my mysterious assailant was unconscious of Its pliant meshes. He pulled my hair in Ids awkward asternpts horribly. The pain wn* like a spur to me. As his arm lay across my arms, I bent my head swiftly, and fastened my tooth u|*on it with a vicious snap that only a woman in my situation would have been capable of. The unexpectedness of the attack dissolved my bonds. With an audible oath lie let me go, and l darted away with winged font, and met father in tho passage, « Ot course I fainted then and there; and by the time anybody got in to tho room my robber bait* made good his cacape. Alas, however, he should not have al lowed himselt to swear, above all, to n woman of such acute ears ns ! had. I had heard the voice, and I know it W- lotigcd to Mr. Fordyce. Father fairly turned pale when I told him ; but lie cautioned mo not to betray that I suspected any one present, and ho took Hteve’s money under hin special charge. W«|.illhuet'at breakfast. I should huvc’said that Mr. Fordyco had made his nnpeanuieoStbout't!n+u»me|time|aathe rest of the family whom my screams had aroused, and in tho mod natural manner. He came down to breakfast now, smiling, and just intern ted enough in my adven ture. Father went away into town after breakfast, and Mr. Fordyce sat in the garden and smoked. The officers who came to arrest him stole upon him from tho back way and secured him before he thought of resistance. It was a plain case. Thev found proofenough of robberies he had been at the bottom of all along, hid away in his trunks, and he owned them at last, with smiling nonchalance turning back his sleeve actually, when no one waalooking, and showing me the prints my l oth had made on his right arm. and kissing them with the old gallant cniprvssment. Of course Hteve made his pavment, and we were married at an e.n)y day.

FARM AND HOUHEHOLD. Kis«rlM»Ntilii remain*. Prof. Charles Dole, of Norwich uni versity, at Northfield, Vt, communi cates the following intereating experi ments in feeding cows, to tho Vermont Chronicle: I have three cows, which I am feeding for the double purpose of getting milk, and at the same time fattening the ani mals for beef. They are all farrow, one of them has been so for two years. They belong to the common breed, and have been what would be called good milkers. At the lime I commenced feeding they certainly did not give milk enough lo pay for the hay they ate. My object a experimenting was to find out. as near! as possible, tho most profitable feed. I began the experiment December 26th, and continued It for four weeks, with the following result: The feed the first week was eight list, of “shorts," one-half bushel of sugar beets, and ten [Kiumlsof hay per day to each cow. I fed tho short* night and morning, four pounds at a time. The beets were given at noon. They were fed all the hay they would eat up clean, three times a day. Thus, tho first week I fed the three cows two hundred and ten pounds of hay, one hundred and sixty-eight pounds of shorts, and ten and a half bushels of beets. The liny was of Ja very poor quality. I estimate th follows: One hundred and i pounds of shorts at twenty-fi tier ton. two dollars and ten cents; two hundred and ten pounds of liny at twelvo dollars per ton, one dollar and twenty-six cents; ten and a-hnlf bushels of l>eeta at fifteen cents |>er bushel, one dollar and fifty-seven cents. Total, four dollars and ninety-three cents. \Ve got three hun dred and seventy-niuo pounds of milk, making sixteen and one half |K)unds ol butter, taking twenty-three pounds of milk to make one pound of butter. The kutter was of the best quality, aud at thirty cents per pound would bring four dollars and ninety-five cents. There was in addition tho Hrini milk, and a steady gain of the cows in flesh. In the second weok the feed was tho same a# the first with this exception—in stead pf feeding eight (KMinds of shorts I gave them eight ixiund* of feed, com posed one-half each of corn meal and shorts. This week we got three hundred andf ninety-four pounds of milk and eigh teen and one-half i*oundsof butter, or one pound for a little over twenty-one f oundsof milk. The cost of the feed his week, calling corn us I did, two lol- Inrs per hundred, was five dollars and six tv-five cents. The butter was worth, ut thirty cents per pound, five dollars and fifty-five cents. The third week was the name as the first, with the exception of feeding bran instead of shorts. Amount of nnlk this week three liundrod and eighty ikhiihIs. Moth butler and milk same an first week. Fourth week same as second, only taring bran instead of shorts. Milk tills week, four huudrvd and eighty pounds . butter, nineteen lbs. Cost of feed Minna as second week, five dollars and fifty-six cents; butter worth five dollars and seventy cents. I have not tried corn meal alone as grain feed, but from former experience am convinced that it in not as valuable lor,milk an either hruu alone or bran and corn meal mixed in equal parts I havo iio doubt from tho above re sults, and my o I nervations since, that no bolter feed can be given cows than corn jneal and bran mixed. Tho cows have not only more than paid their keeping in milk, but have steadily gained in flesh, and are now fair beef. Had I only fed common hay, such as I had, they would not have paid their keeping. Perhaps I should state that nil the feed was scalded and the cold water added, making a pailful at a time for each cow. The butter made was very nice, far hotter than it would havo l>een with only hay or fodder. 1 am satisfied that bran is fully equal to shorts in val ue, and to mix with corn it is better. With bran at twenty-five dollars per ton, and corn at forty dollars I would use as much corn as bran, aud feed them mixed. I have said little about the roots fed, my object being to determine tho l*est kind of'grain or feed to buy. Hut so well satisfied am I with the result of feeding roots that I would not on any account be without them. Every farmer would find it to his advantage to raise from seventy-five to one hundred bushels for every cow. Anierlenn iRUiiniHPv In llor*e-lti-mlln* The great trotting hori-ca of the coun try have not been foaled, in tho pnqior-* lion that ouo might reasonably ex|K*ct. They have come, rather, before tlie public from obscure sources. In many cases, as with "Dutchman" and “Flora’Temple” and “Urlptou," no one can tell up to this day anything of the sire or the dam. I lie fact that three such horses, ami scores of others of almost equal merit, havo no known parentage, reveals how rude and unsuccessful the breeding efforts or tho country havo been. Who can conceive of three winners of the Derby with no known pedigree? Hut here we have few, if any, impartial and intelli- cent students of the problem. The most intricate and delicate of all endeavors to propagate great excellencies by the har monious union of desitablo qualities, |H>sscvM<d in part by the sire and part by the dam, has been, for the most part, un dor taken by men too ignorant or preju diced to grasp comprehensively tlie rudi- mental principles of success. Hence it is that breeding in America has been an innocent kind of gambling, that is, a venture in which good luck, rather than an understanding of and attention to the business, was relied on for success. Hence it is that our fastest horses an* sent to us annually from the barn-yards of un known, and, so far as principles of breed- ing go. ignorant farmers. We find them - as "Dutchman" was found, in a tan dem-team, drawing bricks; or behind a drover’s wagon, ua “Flora Temple" was discovered—without name or fame. 1 hey com© unheralded by auv expects lion, the result of no pl’an, 'no knowl- dge, no wisely-invested capital. This seems an indisputable proportion, there fore, that one of the causes of financial failures which have attended attempts at breeding is to lx* found in the gross ig- norance ot the breeders themselves in the principles of propagation. A < h«\ap S tuolip-Houtp. A writer iu the Rural New Yorker suggests the following plan of a cheap smoke-house: Dig a narrow pit twelve to eighteen inches deep, throwing the earth all out on one side, from near the bottom of this pit dig a trench of the length of one or two joints ot stove pipe at such an angle as will bring the cm! away from the pit to the surface of the ground. Over the end of this pijie set a common flour bar rel or large cask, as may lx* needed, and having removed both heads, bank up around it with the loose earth, so that no smoke can escape at the bottom. Hftngin the hams, abouldm, etc. min* something like a broom handle to run through the strings. Putting a cover on top of the atickn will leave space enough for draught, to let the smoke pass freely. Build a smoke fire of corncobs, damp hard Wood sawdust, or fine chips, amt you will havo a cheap, safe, and efficient smoke-hotiao with very little trouble. ■loufholS RfitlpM.
