Oh, Bbo woars a sealskin »ack,

And her stunning suit is black
As the orow’s;

Charming, jolly, wise, and witty;
Has a retrousse—so pretty—

In her basket-phaotou,
When it blows,
With her striking glasses on.
Out sho goes;
And she's just as sweet as stately,
And she sits there so sedately,
Witli her cheeks and lips so greatly
Like a rose.

“ Is this Mr. Rushton’s?”
It wits a hanilsomo young man who
ashed this question.
Aud the girl who had opened iho
door for lain, in that pretty plneo where
the richest people were not very fash-
iormblc, was Mr. Rushton s only
dauglrter Fanny herself.
“Wlmt 11 pretty little soul!” ho
thought.
Then, ns she tinned her head, ho
wondered for n moment whether soine-
body had just slnpped her on the loft
cheek,, there was sueli ft singulftr mark
there, exactly like the scarlet print of a
palm and four lingers.
But that murk had been thoro all
Funny Rushton's life, and it was her one
grief, her perpetual torment.
She had grown morbid about it in
these early days of womanhood.
But there wero no cosmetics and no
arts of surgery that could remove it.
There the rod mark must bo ns long
■as she breathed, its hateful scarlet at-
l trading the 11 rat glance from every
i stranger.
“ Mr. Rushton at homo?” said Luke
j Robbins, with a bow .
“ Yes,” said Fanny.
Then she ushered Mr. Robbins into
I the parlor, and went away ; and in a
' few moments the mill owner sauntered
“And they could always live with ns,"
said papa; “ we need nover part from
our only one.”
'< Our eyes grow used to everything
j after a while.
Luko Robbins forgot that there was
I any mark on Fanny’s face, unless some*
i thing particularly called his attention to
j it.
: He loved her very much at times,
though there wero long hours in which
ho never remembered her existence.
Twice a week, at least, Luke thought
j enough of Fanny to buy her a bouquet,
or somo music, and to spond two hours
on a dusty railroad for the sake of see
ing her.
He felt her lovo for him in her very
i finger tips; ho saw it in her eyes; he
I heard it in her voice.
, Ho was a man who is happy in being
1 beloved.
Aud it was not old Mr. Rushton’s
j money that made him decide to offer
. himself to her, despite the red mark.
Yes, the next tiino he wont ho would
! ask Fanny to have him for bettor or
, worse.
And ho knew that she would say :
“ Yes.”
There aro evil moments in every one’s
life—moments that change one’s destiny
for the worst.
If only it had rained one morning ; if
only Fanny had fallen ill; if only sho
had not undertaken that trip to tho
city just when bIio did, this would bo a
difleront story.
Sho used ts bo shy of going into the
crowded streets alone, and even with
her mother wore a thick veil, and felt
uncomfortable when any ono lookod at
her.
Rut now she curod nothing for
strangers’ eyes.
Somehow her blemished face had
found favor in his.
She made her little purchases with a
light heart.
And then she saw Luke Robbins—
yes, really Luke himself, coming to
meet her.
“Looks as if somo ono had slapped
Lev in the face,” said a giggling girl’s
voice.
And ho turned his head.
He saw her, aud went to her at once.
“Oh, I am so glad to meet you,"
said Fanny. “ I suppose I ought to
start at once."
Sho had heard the speech that caused j FARM, GARDEN AND llOUSEUOLD.
his answer.
And as I10 looked after her ns sho en
tered the carriage two tears camo into
his oyos.
They trickled down upon his cheeks.
He wiped them away.
Suddenly ho felt that ho loved Fanny
Rushton from his .soul—that this cow
ardly sort of troublo that tho remarks
■and glances of strangers had caused him
would never mnko him ashamed of him
self again.
“ Fanny, my darling,” he bftid to him
self, “Fanny, my love, your faco is
dearer to mo for its blemish, aud you
shall know it boforo I Bleep. You
should, wero you a beggar. I’ll hido it
from the world’s colcHeyee on my bosom,
darling; and I’ll lovo you all tho more
for it."
Ho followed after her.
Ho walked up the garden path in tho
twilight.
He asked for Miss Funny.
“Sho hasn’t como in yot,” said tho
servant. “ They aro bo frightened about
her—master and missus—but I toll ’em
she’ll turn up all light.”
Luke’s heart stood still.
A presentiment of evil tilled his mind
In tho gathering darkness two anxious
meu went forth, hoping against hope.
“Sho stopped out on the platform
suddenly. Either sho was bewildered,
or sho did it on purpose. Wo were going
full speed. She had a blue dress and a
white hat, and thero’s a rod mark on her
face. They’ll know her by that.”
That was tho conductor’s story.
That was tho story that Luko and
Fanny’s mother heard nt last.
Did she stop out on purpose or was
sho “ bewildered ?’’
God only knows—no living being.
Luko tried to believe that what she
lmd heard him sav lmd nothing to do
with it.
But it was too late now to loll her
what he felt—too late to hido her sweet
faco on his heart.
Ho could only stoop over her, ns she
lay in her Collin, and press tho last kiss
Mulching.
Chip dirt, drift hay from tho edges of
tho mnrshes and all refuse matter that
can be eollectod about a farm, if not
used in tho compost heap, makes an ex
cellent mulch for orchards. Mulching,
says n writer, has all tho benoflts of
plowing, with none of its disadvan
tages, keeping the surface mollow with
no damago to its roots by the plow or
to tho trunk or branches by tho team.
It keeps down the grass and invites tho
earth worm to work and make the soil
fine and rich. It tends to retain the
moisture for a muoli longer time, and
romody in a great measure tho evil ef
fects of drought. The fruit which foils
upon it is not bruised. It is tho way
nature adopts to manure and enrich the
forest trees.—New England Farmer.
Training Yonug Animals.
A proverb says that “ just ns tlic'twig
is bent tho tree is inclined," and this
may be npplied to the training of colts.
They should bo nccustoraed only to tho
halter and bridle, they should bo kindly
and gently troatod, and not annoyed in
any way. Mnny horses have been
rendered vicious from having been
taught tricks or made to suffqr annoy
ance from boys in their onrly days.
Colts may bo taught to go or como at
tho word of command, lift their foilt and
endure tho mimic operation of shooing.

Jolm Knox was a wight of wondrous might,
And his words rang high and shrill,
For bold and stout was his spirit bright,
Ami strong was his stalwart will.
Kings sought in vain ids mind to chain,
And thnt giant brain to control,
llut naught on plain or stormy main
Could daunt that mighty soul.
John would sit aud sigh till morning cold
Its shining lamps put out,
For thoughts untold on his mind laid hold,
Aud brought but pain and doubt,
llut light at last on his soul was cast,
Away sank pain and sorrow,
His soul is gay in a fair to-day,
And looks for a bright to-morrow.

turned all to black and white soon, and
blotted out the red mark.
And he sat as close to her as he dared,
aud her sweet voice charmed him, and
he fell in love, as men do, for an hour.
