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 !

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.

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.

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.

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.
