With this my iri-u 1, by who.»i- influ
ence i v.'isiu. 1 iin the u.'iidemy ot
ilurlhoro ns i[ii. 1, turned to I .tv.,
me.
“Wait. 4.uHiif i» 'V ■ ■ I ;

“(Jh-i.j. of them ?" lie: a Id., i, with a s!;;
iHiigh. “Draw your 0..11 inbreuccs.

for five years for n.-thing. ”
'■Tlmua you ! th .uk you !"
With this i gave my friend my hand,
and thus we parted. An hour later 1
was seated at my desk, in the pleasantest
school-room, looking about me with no
small degree of interest for- the two pu
pils of whom my friend had spoken, and
wondering in the meantime if his kindly,
well-meant caution would not bring me
at once face to face with the very danger
which he had wished ina to avoid.
Binding at my own conceit, and fail
ing to find ftitTiiTtli rtiivßcbve faces before
me one' that war particularly stamped
with pride or one tliat was marked with
mischief I turned to my books.
Something like 11 quick whisper broke
through the stillness of the room us I did ]
so. 1 glanced up. Every countenance
boro unmistakeable signs of demureuenii.
Smiling again at my thoughts, I turned
a second time to my books, and this ;
time a big apple started from one or the
back seats and came roiling down the
aisle. The incident was slight; but ta
ken in connection with my reflection
and my friend’s p rting words, it annoy
ed me. I picked up tire apple, laid it on
the desk, and glanced in tiie direction
from whence it came.
Goodness ! What a pair of blue -eyes
were raised to mine at that moment! i
Lyes saucy, taring and almost wicked, I
which wavered and brightened like two
beautiful stars. This was Lizzie Dane,
I was quite Mire of that; the red mouth
was dimpled about by smiles, and tin
white chin quiver. >( with suppressed
merriment.
“A good beginning,’’ I thought ; “h
augurs well for the future.’’
.just then the sclioot-rootn door vas
darkened, and, harking up, I saw (hiar
lotte Anleu. My IV. caution was
well. How like a beautiful pfetur; stie
was u.s she stood'there ; her tine head,
covered with pretty braids, perfectly
poised her figure, straight, round nttu
; erfeot. brought out by the strong, ciem
ligf'.*. The very fail of the soft, white
robe, in well 11s of her slender, gaitered
foot, just visible beneath the folds of her
sweeping skirl, was artistic. She stood,
as if hesitating whether or not it was
i« st for her to enter the school-room, and
her maun.-r was calm, quiet and cow.
riiss Lizzie Dane telegraphed to her
with her sparkling eyes to enter. This
failing to have the desired effect, she
doubled up her white, chubby hands and
hehl them to hi-r mouth, trumpet fashion.
.1 suppressed' the smile that was rising to
my lips ami turned to Miss Arden, say
iug :
“Have you selected a seat ?"
“No, sir. I hiiv'e not,” she answered,
without moving forward a single-step.
“You may do so lion, if you please,"
I said.
Hhe glanced up and down the long
rows ot seutH several times, and then
turned to a side desk but a short distance
from my table.
“Tins one, sir," she said, raising her
eyes for a single moment to my face
and thou turning th.-m, indifferently,
away.
1 bowed in approval of her choice,
though, tit the same time, it did not
please me. J did not care to have her
m> near, criticising everything I did, and
i fed sure siie would.
At the quarter-hour of intermission
Miss Arden ami Mi-s Dane passed the
tune in puc.ng.nrm in arm back anil forth
pan the blank space of lloor before my ‘
Uestt. I could ha\e wished, and and...
wish, that they had cko-vu any other
promenade, but not knowing how to he j |
myself, unless I sent them out of doors !
to play, like Iwo einebva in pinafores, I j
ruined the ltd of mv desk between their j
faces and mi.or, niul pretended to bo cu- i
gaged iu setting iny books and papers to j
rights.
t 'hihhvii in pinafores ! I smiled grim.'}
to inys.it us lae .indue o.ts th night en
tered my head. Children they both wvre,
I said to myself, unceremoniously thrust
ing my head above the temporary screen
to confirm nr, opinion by a good look at
tli'iii -a proceeding which made Miss
Lizzie tons her curly head iu a discon
certed attempt at carelessness, and
bro i.;lit a dash of cxq'usiu- ce.' ir to the
out; velvet cheek of her eurnpuiiiou’e luce i
yiesiVwdJit' MV-sart to .».e.

continuing my soliloquy, and drawiug in j
my head again like a turtle, “j. iu sure |

| “ He’s splendid, Lot, isn't he
Miss Dane’s voice broke my wonder
ings. 1 was modest 111 those days and
blushed easily. My wife told me yes
terday, referring to that morning, Unit
the tip of my ear, just visable at the
edge of my desk lid, grew red as a coal,
aud that her friend threw a lozenge a! it
and missed it by the sixteenth of uu
inch. I wasn't aware of the circumstance
before.
“Kay, Lot, don't you think he’s splen
did V" came that loud w iiisper itgaiu.
“If I do, I don't intend to teit him of
it,” she retorted.
Evidently, however much averse she
would have been to informing me on
such a point, she was nothing loth for
me to judge of her musical powers, for
she burst forth into a merry song and
warbled like a bird—in fact, like twenty
birds. Whether my ear looked like a
coal or not, it drunk in that gay melody,
aud, when it ceased, longed for more.
“What eyes he bus !”
“Rather too deep-set for beauty.”
“Deep-set, indeed ! They are protru- 1
ding as a cow s, and as big.”
“Mere difference of opinion, my love, j
Don’t let ns quarrel.”
“No. Then, how much character there j
is in his nose.”
“Decidedly.”
I had a large nose, reader.
“Room or more—”
I started her there by droppiug a book.
I was acnally getting angry. Hut she
recovered from her fright almost imme
diately, and went on, in a still loader
tone :
“H > v do you think he will answer?”
“An over V ’
Miss Arden spoke inquiringly, in a

Whether lime would be useful upon
Boil or not, must generally be ascertain
ed by trial.
We believe, with very rare exceptions,
no mistake will be undo in applying it in
proper quantities, and therefore tiie test
can be made without fear or evil conse
quences. Where land is naturally sour,
time i> the specific in every case. On
heavy day soils its action is excellent.
It renders them triable and more easily
worked. On lands containing undecom
pascil organic matter, au application of
nine is ai ways in order, for reasons beforo
staled. Reclaimed swamps uud lowlands
are examples of land containing much
undecomposed matte), and where lime is
particularly valuable. Dry, sandy soils
are be .efited, because it. renders them
more compact, ami better able to retain
moisture. It not only decomposes dead
matter, but it ki'is and transforms into a
valuable fertilizer, the living insects in
which most soils abound. Xu short, lime
is almost as universally a useful agent as
even the time-honored barnyard manure
Used
Xu r gard to its application there is na’
difficulty. It must he well burned, re
duced to as tine a state as possible, sown
on the ploughed Soil, and burrowed iu.
i.he reduction to Cue state is accom
plished by slacking it with water, and
Lids should not be done until the giotind
is ready to receive it. Air-slacked lime
is not near so line, and, besuies when it
is exposed to the air, chtis for a icii|Th
oi time it is rendered far Jess active by
the c.u'bauic acid wuicin Lt adsorbs from
the atmosphere. ; .
The amount to be applied is a
variable quantity. Asa rule, heeiy
applications are to be avoided.
It is better to put on a little and put it
on often, than t*i give overdoses at long
intervals. Light soils require a less
quantity than heavy, coiti, or sour soils.
Twenty-five bushels per acre for the
former, running up to fifty, Hudouehim--
dred bushels for the latter, are sufficient’
in almost any ease.- -Ohio Favtit' r.
