Lindy is ex celleut in driving bargains about butter and eggs, and chickens, but 1 doubt if sh? is quite gentle, and soft-spoken enough to deal with a question like this, Poor little Dortliy 1 l wish 1 bad asked her myself, though perhaps after all it wouldn’t have made any difference.” Jonathan llruce had lived to the age of forty-livd without feeling the darts of Cupid, and whin he did fall in love it was a serious business, Dorot by Dale Itad come down to the old farmhouse to earn her own living. She was a delicate, lovely girl of nine teen, with dark gray eyes, black hair drooping low on her forehead, and with a fresh bloom like that of a peach. She had tirst come to Luwmoor to try and get the position of teacher in the district school. But the trustees hap petted to have their special favorite, and when the spectacled Miss Keene was ap pointed, poor little Dorothy found her self penniless in a strange place. “What can 1 do V” she asked pile ously. “Miss Bruce wants a servanf*” sug gested the landlord’s wife. “A pound a mouth and a good home. House-work ain’t so genteel as teaching, but it’s more liealthy.” And Dorothy caught at the straw which a kind I’rovidence seeiued to ex¬ tend to her, and took tlie position as ser¬ vant in the Bruce family, which she till¬ ed satisfactorily until Jonathan’s unex¬ pected offer of marriage drove her away like a scared bird. “Marry him 1 Income his wife !” thought Dorothy, with Hushed cheek and wildly beatiug heart. “Never! nev er ! n And yet, strange to say, she did not actually dislike honest Jonathan Bruce, It was only the natural recoil of the -»»''.i.i f..,-,*, ti~ untamed deer rroffii the huntsman’s touch.

She pushed the dark Hair out of her eyes and looked up at. him deliautly. “Yes, it is I,” she Said. “You are pale and thin,” ho uttered "lowly. “Yes,” said she, “I I have hard work to live. In truth and in fact I am almost starved." “Yet you would not marry me V” “No, I would not,” she flushed out. “Will you not many me now ?” “No.” lie looked hard at her. “J think you are making a mistake.” She was silent, still looking at him in tlie same scared, uncertain sort of way. ! “However,” lie added, “that’s neither here nor there. But Belinda misses you. j She will be glad to have you back at the old farmhouse again.” “After—” Dorothy checked herself Instinctively, “Yes, everything. Let bygones he by- j gones. Remember only that Belinda wants you, and that there is always a home for you there. And as for me, you needn’t trouble. 1 shall not be in any body’s way,” he added, a little bitterly, “1 am going up to some slate quarries that I own, and Belinda will be left alone.” “Yes,” she said, “I will go. all, I shall be putting myself under obh cation to nobody. I shall only be earn¬ ing my living.” So she went back, and Belinda receiv¬ ed her brusquely, but with a kindness that went to the poor girl’s heart. “Are the quarries very largeV” she asked, wistfully, when she had been at the old farmhouse about a month. “Never beard. ” “Were you never there ?” “Bless your heart, child, no 1” “Does Mr. Bruce often come home ?” “He’s at home now,” said the spinster. “At home ?” “Why, yes ; only he’s staying down at the tavern.

Atmlysia of & Cigar To the world iu general, a cigar is merely a tightly-rolled packet, having brittle, fragments of dry leaves within and a smooth, silky leaf for its outer . wrapper. When it is burned and the pleasantly-lluvored smoke inhaled, tlio habitual smoker claims for it u sooth hig luxury that quiets the irritable nervous organism, relieves weariness 3iid entices repose.

These are the Keneral divisions, which chemists have still further split up, and iu so doing '»ive found acetic, formic, butyric, valeric, anil propionic acids, prussic acid, crocsote, and carbonic acid, am monin, sulphurretted hydrogen, jiyri | dine, virdine, picoline, lutidine, collo dine, parvoline, corodine, and rubidene. These last are a series of oily bases be longing to the homologiics of aniline, first discovered iu coal tar. Applying chemical tests to the leaves, other chemists have found nicotine, tobacco camphor or iilcotlauiHO (about which not much is known), a hitter extractive* matter, gum, chlorophyll, malate of lime, sundry albuminoids, malic acid, woody filler, and various salts The feathery white ash, which in itscohesion. and whiteness is indicative of a good cigar, yields potash, soda, magnesia, lime, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, silica, and chorine. Tlie ingredients extractible from a poor and cheap cigar would bo fearful and wonderful to con template.
