ot which reposed a lovely tnrquois ring,
having on it Helen’s initials in tiny tlia-

Edward was no hypocrite, hut he was an*

these ladies the news of bis engagement;
and Hattie had little inducement for confi

Mrs. Langley belivec Edward to be really
attached to Helen, and so he had been, and
tvas still to a certain e::tent; she made no
ettort to keep him, feelingsurethuthe would
return of hts own accord, and she was quite
as well phased to have him away from the

she felt convinced Ids only danger front that
quarter was in constant association. Hattie
was a dangerous girl to have in the same
house with a young man of Edward’s dispo-

business goes on; but it is. perhaps, done a
little more openly. The rinks frequented
by the shop girls and their “young men”
are wretched places; the air is timid; the
odor ot bad tobacco and of worse whiskey
am, gtn tills the place. The music is of the
barrel-organ variety; the girls—many of
whom are very pretty—are dressed in the
most execrable taste; the men are loud,
vulgar, protane and ostentatiously wicked
m their own little way. Of course, the
rinks did not create these people; thev ex-
.tstad hetorehami’ and the links have only
afforded a means of bringing them together
and as much interested in their childish
games as themselves. A most efttoienl
nursery governess Mrs. Langley found nor,
as she gave the children their reading ami
spelling lessons daily, aud played with them
at addition and subtraction in a way to
make the horrors of arithmetic quite fas
cinating. She slept in their room at night,
dressed them in tlie mornings, and romped
with them all day as well as kept a gc.itle
survtiUanctt over them at the table, where
she always sat with the family, except on
grand company intensions, when she disait-
peared with them into a small temporary
salon a mnn,/cr, where the three dined to
gether, ^enjoying these meals mo-t of any.
As Nelly Langley told her cousin Ed
ward, with a laugh, she was not even called
upon to play the part of elder sister except
when she was in the humor. It was a per
fect comfort to have a girl like Hattie.
She took all respousibi ity about the chil
dren off one's mind,

to Iter mamma s bringing up, and left noth
ing undone to captivate the heir of the
family; besides which, she greatly admired
tier cousin, and was as deeply in love with
him as any society young lady permits her
self to be before uinrringo or a positive eu t
gagement warrants an extravagant amount
of feelings.
The cousins smiled at each other as their
■yes met, after a minute’s survey of tlie
three children playing block-houses. Nellv
put out her hand as if inspiring to assist a’l
the game; and then, catching sglit of her
slender forefinger, she uttered an exclama
tion :
•*Oh, my ring!—my lovely ring, cousin
Edward, that you gave tnej”*
“Have you lost it?” the gentleman in
quired, languidly.
“ I hope not this time. It has been mis
laid so often and tnmed up again. But I
-hall lose it some time, I know. I’m un
fortunate about it. You see, on account of
the pcaris, I takejt off every time l wash
my hands, ami then I forget to pnt it on
again

It isn’t lost, Nelly. Bend Miss
Thorpe to sec if yon have left it on your
dressing table.”
Miss Thorpe didn’t wait to be sent, but
ran away at once to look for tho missim;

tnnkeL It was a lovely ring, and manv a
time little Hattie had looked on it with al
most covetous glances, Jongint; for such a
ring to wear on iter own pretty finger. She
returned from Iter quest in a few minutes,
lookingdisappointed and sayuigsheconldn’t
find it anwliere.
“Yon couldn’t have half looked,” the
young lady declared, impa ioiitly, “iie-
cause I know I left it on the dressing-table.
I remembi r quite well now, and so must
you, Ilattic It was just before dinner and
you were there, because yon dressed my
hatr. Go again, Hattie, and look on the
window sill; it’s just possible I might have
laid it there.”
Ilattie went and was gone a long time,
but she came back looking more disaii-
pointed than before. She had looked on
the dressing table, on the bureau, behind
the bureau, on the floor, on the window-
sill—everywhere; but not a vestige of the
turquois could she find
“Hoiv provoking! Was the window
open, did yon notice?’’
“Yes, Miss Helen, the window was open.”
'“Then, it may have fallen out. Come
vvtth me, Edward, and we will lookand
the oair went out together, while Hattie
and the l>oys resumed their employment.
................ stole
over his cheek. Tlie silence became a trifle
awkward, and to break it, he said:
“That’s worse nonsense than the other.
You wouldn’t steal me, either, would vou?”
“ 1 wouldn’t steal anything, Mr. Edward,
“ I’m not worth stealing,” Edward inter
rupted.
“You arc worth anything” cried little
Hat tit*, with unnecessary ferver.
“But Still, you wouldn’t steal me?” said
Edward, laughing.
_ “ I couldn’t, you know;” and the large,
innocent eyes were raised appcalinglv
“ I’m '>'<( so sure of that,” thought Ed
ward, unconsciously pres-ing tho soft little
hand lie still held betwein his own. He
bent over her in a gentle and projecting
wav and whispered:
“ Y ott are a dear little thing, and I’m
sure you could do nothing in tho world but
what is good and sweet like yourself.” And
then, wl>at with the moonlight, which
madu tho girl more child-like than ever,
and the wet eyelashes and prettv, quiver
ing mouth that trembled like a baby’s, and
two faces being so close together, Edward
Kissed little Hattie, and bade her not cry
any more, and he would sec her put right
in every way.
Hattie wasn’t angry. He was just like a
nice, big brother ; but she thrilled and
trembled under his kiss, and she dreamed
all night of a fair young prince with a beau
tiful turquois ring, aud he could find no
fi iSer that it fitted till he tried it on Iter’s
—just like Cinderella and the little glass
slipper. Edward was as good as his word,
and spoke to H -len very seriously altout
the accusation she had made against Miss
Thorpe; but that didn't mend matters, for
Helen really believed that Hattie had stolen
the ring, and tvas indignant with her cousin
foi asserting thu contrary. A lover’s quar
rel was the resnlt; and Edward kept tlie
new ring in his pocket, and delayed the
important question he intended *to put
when presenting it.
Miss Langley had a scene with mamma,
and insisted that the little chit of a gov
erness, with her deceit and hypocrisy,
should be turned out of doors; but mamma
chose time to think about that—she knew
she had a treasure, and site wasn’t going to
throw* it away for the'sake of a mere suspi
cion, jpossibly unfounded. B.-aides, she had
conscientious scruples about discharging
Miss Thorpe without a character, aud pe£
haps ruining her prospects in life,
Mrs. Langiey maintained this virtuous
resolution for several days; but what would

Tlie color on Mrs. Langley’s eheek deepen

were alone she remarked to Miss Langley
' that such were a lady’s thanks for trying to

THE LONDON RiNKS.
Markets for the Exhibition and Sale
of Women.
[Correspondent oftlio New York World.]
London, April 10.—I have been paying
a’ round of visits to the London skating
rinks, and I am much wiser and much sadder
than I was before entering upon these explo
rations The devil most be very busy nowa-
tiavs, unless, indeed, he finds that men and
women are so zealous in doing his work that
he can rest and take his ease. Let me
make a clean hreost of it at onoe. The rinks,
from tne Prince's down to the plebeian
places where any one can enter by the pay
ment of a six-pence or a shilling, seem to be
open markets for the exhibition and sale of
women. An old-fashioned man who has
not kept pace with the march of aflairs dur
ing the last few years would be astounded if
be saw what now [goes on in these resorts.
They are little better—in fact, some of them
took their daughters to balls and parties to
show them off and to win husbands for them.
But then the mothers did the matoh-making;
the girls obeyed orders; certain rules ot pro
priety were observed; a man approaches a
young lady only under the wing of some
one entitled to present him and able to vouch
for him. Now—at the skating riuks at
j east ~ a H this ia changed. At a ball a young
Jadjr does not walk out upon the floor and
begin to danoe a jig alone, but at a skating

that one of tltese 'stoniatse will hold from
t\v enty to forty fungi, and each of them
produce at least otto hundred spores or re
productive particles, which will be enough
to infest 3' whole plant. Some varieties oi
• heat, owing to tln-ir more delicate struc
ture, are more liable to rust than others.
In Englaud, ^ fanners affirm that wheal
sown in the neighborhood of the harherr.
bush seldom escape this blight, as it is sup
posed that the spores arc generated and
preserved on these bushes.
We have been asked, wliat effect would
nitrate of soda have upon rusted wheat?
As a remedy, it could certainly have none;
as a preventive, and we suppose this is the
object of its recommendation by the com
missioner, it would act just like all other
good nitrogenous ferti izers for wheat, b
giving a coarser stalk, or more rapid and
vigorous growth, and thus*nable the wheat
to kt*ep ahead of tho disease. As it is very
soluble, it is the best of its class, but costs
too high to pay well on wheat. Certainly
it would not pay well on rusted wheat, as
it would do but little good until a rain
came to leach it into the soil. By that
time, it would bo too late, as the rust onlv
requires a fotv days to destroy a crop.

Beks on a Small Scale.—There are
many householders whose means w 11 not
enable them to buy a cow, or provide keep
ing for her were they in possession of one.
But they may be equal to the pat chose of

the swarms resulting therefrom. Bees,
like other stock, require pasturage; but,

to their owners. A single colony of bees,
in good condition in the spring, may bo
counted upon' to double or tripple their
numbers in a single season, securing ample
stores for winter consumption, while sup
plying a gratifying surplus each autumn for
householders. This accumulation will prove
most acceptable in families, especially

blessed with elongated and plethoric purses.
