WILLAMETTE FABMER:' PORTLAKD, OREGON, DECEMBER 30, 1881.
(timnf Heraur
What Was It ?
1 was engaged to Angelina Melville, and I
thought myeclf the luckiest man living. An
gelina was so handsome that no stranger ever
rhw linr without: nYnrpjininff admiratiou. and
one did not weary with the face after years of
familiarity with it. Sho .was well-hred, ac-
comnlished and a .Teat heiress. I had reason
to believe sho was very fond of me. No man
could bo more entirely content than I was as
I leaned back in the first-class carnage which
took mo from Glasgow into tho country, totho
Valo of Cruix. where I was to preach a few
Sabbaths.
The pulpit was vacant, and I was going to
try my w ings. With my pecuniary prospects
I scarcely thought I should care to accept a
call to tho Valo of Cruix, but I had no objec
tion to filling its pulpit for a few weeks, es
pecially as Angelina had gone to tho West
coast, and Glasgow was warm'nnd stufTy and
stupid.
Casual remembrances of elegant parsonages
built in Queen Anne's style; of a study where
the footfalls weio softened by Persian rugs,
aud tlio doom .lrapd in portieres of velvet ;
chairs and a desk carved richly as some old
confessional flitted through my mind; and 1
thought alno of a table, spread with silver and
raro china, with a lady at its head whore
Bcmbltd a ((uceu. And I breathed a luxmious
sigh as I awakened from my day dream to a
knowledge that the words "Valo of Cruix"
Wv.ro being shouted on tho platform, and that
fio train was coming to a standstill.
I he i zed my travelling bag from the rack
overhead and huiricd out of tho carriage. The
porters had pulled four or five trunks on the
platform. Tho old wagons stood in the road,
oiio driven by an old woman in a sun-bonnet,
. tho other by a icd-haircd boy, with bare feet;
and a queer, knock kneed horse, attached to a
queerer old gig, was standing at a little dis
tance. A young man, in a light Summer suit,
and a city family, bent on rural happiness,
wero my companions on tho platform.
The former put his trunk in the firstwaon,
kissod tho old woman in tho sun-bonnet, took
tho reins and drove away. Ho was evidently
tho son of tho family, coino homo to spend his
vacation. Tim rest of tho trunks and city
family mother, father, little boy, nursemaid
and baby were put in tho wagon and driven
by tho boy.
hen the train moved away 1 was left
alono on tho platform alono but for the sta
tion master, who sat upon a bench smoking a
elay pipo.
In a moment more, tho official, without
looking at me, made tho remark : "Deacon
Stevenson has come for the now minister.
He's nver in tho hotel and will be back in a
minute."
"Thank jou," said I.
Tho station-master took no notice of me,
but, having climbed upon a stool and made
some changes In a time register on tho wall
of tho station, locked tho door and put tho
key in his pocket and sauntered away down
tho railroad.
I took his place upon the bench and waited.
In a few minutes a prim little old gentleman
appeared upon tho top of tho hill, carrying in
ono hand a tin can, in the other a tin pail,
and under either arm a brown paper parcel.
I knew at a glance that it was Stevenson,
"Are you Mr. Mactaggcrt V ho inquired
mildly, ns ho appoached. "I want to know !
I hadn't any expectation of being kept so
long, but, you see, it saves tho women folks
troubto to fetch things when I drivo down.
Ktopiu, won't) ou, I'll just hang this can of
parnline ilu on behind. Some disliko tho smell
may Ih you do. Tho sugar-loaf, tea aud
cofleo can go under tho seat ns well as not.
How's your health, sir, and how do you liko
Valo of Cruix?"
I ansHcied that my health was good,
but that 1 bad not, as yet, seen much of Valo
of Crui.
"Xo, you haun't," said tho old gciit'umnn,
"Well, jou'll drive thiomjh it now;" and ho
shook tho leiiu and tho old hoisu began to
stumhlu along; mid on wo drove past certain
rows of hiick houses very much liko each
other, and with tho sauio flowers in the front
gardens, until, having passed tho church, we
came to one happily set about by old oak
trees, Inrfoio the g.ito of which wo drove up.
A gill stood at tho gato a fair gill in blue
Jiiuslin dn-Ms and whiU apron,
"Take the sugar, Mary, before it gets up.
set," said tho diacon. "This is Mr. Mnctag
gart that's to preach for us. Mr. Mactaggart,
this is my daughter Mary."
Vo bowed, and she vanished with tlio
parcels.
"Whit a lovely little creature- " said I to
myself, "Nothing liko Angelina, but so
pretty I" And I found myself thinking of her
as I washed my hands aud blushed my hair
ill tho bluo-walled bedroom on tao second
floor with white fringed counterpanes and
curtains, and two black silhouettes over tho
mantel piece, on either side of the china vases
of roses.
There werov only four of us at table, the
deacon, his w ife, a stout lady, w ho never said
more than sho could help, and Mary, She
had speat the last Winter at (iUsgow, aud wo
talked about all sho had seen, SI'o was sell,
possessed without lieing forward, and oh, so
pretty I Now, Augcliua was splendid and
queenly, so this was mild praise that sho could
not liavo objected to, only I said it ery
often. I prrachad it on the next Sunday, It
was settled that I should eiid the Summer
there. I wrote this to Angelina i
"Since you cannot bo with mo it does not
matter where I am this stupid place as well
as any other. Address to tho caro of Deacon
Stevenson. I shall remain with him while I
preach hero."
It was a pleasant Summer; despite the dull
ness of tho place, llovv good the quaint old
deacon was when one really knew him 1 How
motherly was Mrs. Stevenson I As for Mary,
she grew sweeter every day I 1 have wondered
what Angelina ould have said could she
have seen me helping her pick blackberries,
to find the runaway cow, to carry home the
milk pail, driving her over to the country
grocery, and returning with a freight of gro
ceries Angelina, who knew nothing of do
mestic details, and whoso monogramtd and
perfumed letters were often brought over
from tho office in company with the parafine
can. I wrote my sermons at one end of the
round table, while Mary sat at tho other sew
ing, lletwecn us was a lamp with a green
shade. Now and then a big bug would fly into
the room and go humming about our heads,
or a moth would try to singe its wingi over
tho chimney, and I would drivo it out. Tho
old people would go to bed after awhile, and
then Mary and I would find ourselves huugry,
and sho would go into tho kitchen to find
"something good." I always held tho light
for her; and when something good was found
we ato it in tho back porch, sitting side by
side on the step like two children.
Sho was so like a child, that little Mary,
that it seemed no harm to ask her to kiss me
good night, or to hold her hand in mine, as it
rested on my arm in our long walk home from
chinch on Sunday evenings.
The Summer passed; October came; An
gelina returned to the city and wrote to me.
It was while wo wero eating peaches and
cream in the back porch that evening that I
said to Mary, "I will tell you a secret, if you
will keep it for a while. Mary."
"Oh, of course I will, Mr. Maetagircrt."
"I am going to be married this Autumn
Mary," I said. "These pretty letters you
always thought came from my sister ore from
the lady who is to marry me. She is very beau
tiful, very rich, very stylish, but very kind.
You must come and see us, Mary, when we
aro married. I shall tell Angelina how good
ynu havo becen to mo what a sweet little
sister I lound out here in the Vale of Cruix.
Why, Mary"
For, as I spoke, I felt the little hand I held
grow cold and heavy in mine. I saw her sink
backward. The big china bowl of peaches and
cream slipped with a crash to the ground and
shattered to pieces,
I caught tho poor child in my arms. In a
moment sho came to herself and said she had
overtired herself, she thought. They had been
baking all day, and it was warm. And now
sho bado mo good night. But I did not see her
next day, nor tho next. She kept her room,
anil was not well enough to bid me good by.
Poor littlo Mary I I felt very miserable.
However, Angelina met mo at Glasgow. She
was more beautiful than ever mora elegant in
contrast to my simple country friend and
very soon I lauuhcd at myself for tho thought
that had been in my heart. Of course, I said
it was tho baking that had overcomo Mary
it was not my nows. I had only been to her
as a friend as a brother. I had not made love
to her; above all, I had not flirted with her.
Hut I thought of Mary a great deal, and I
missed her cvcry.liour exactly oh yes, exact
lyas I might a sister.
I wroto to Mrs. Stevenson, and her answer
was very brief,
"I haven't much time to write," she said, in
her postscript. "Mary is sick, and besides
being driven I am anxious."
This letter was in my pocket on that day,
when Angelina and I went together to the
bazaar for tho benefit of the church of St.
Matthew.
After wo hail roamed about tho bazaar and
bought all sorts of knick-knacks, I escorted
Angelina to a scat, and there eat down to wait
whilo one of tho ladies, who, "on this occa
sion only," was doing good, onerous, hard
work, brought us a tray of lefroshmeuts.
As wo sat there sipping our collee, two wo
men sat down at tho nsxt tablo with their
backs to us,
"I am very tired; are you not Mrs. Hus
sell?" And tho other answered:
"Yes, I am tired. I don't think that it is
worth the while to coino all the way from
Vale of Cruix to Glasgow sight-seeing."
This was tho voico of Stevenson's nearest
neighbor, and 1 liked her and respected her,
yet dnl not feel quito sure how Angelina
would liko nn introduction, aud so refrained
fiom looking round aud making myself known.
I think we'd better havo tea," said the
voico. "It's more reficshing than colico. Oh,
Iiqw is Mary to day? Think of my never ask
ing beforol"
"Mary is poor," said Mrs. Kusscll. "Oh,
Mrs. Culleii, what a pity it is that flirting
young minister camo down to Valo of Cruix.
I don't know what Mis. Stevenson was about
to let him do as ho did. We all thought he
was courting Mary. Sho did, poor child. Sho
just loved him dearly. And tho day belorc he
went away ho told her he was engaged to
some girl in Glasgow, I'm afraid it has bro
ken her heart. Sho told me all about it. 'Oh,
Aunty liussel!,' bIio said, 'I know I ought to
bo ashamed, but I can't help it. He seemed
to like mo so. I hope I shall die of this fever,
for life it nothing to mo.' Ashamed I Why,
it's ho who ought to bo ashamed. Of all the
things, a minister to be a cold, cruel tlirt, and
that is what Hugh Mactaggert is."
I listened, but I could not move or speak.
I felt as though my heart was also breaking,
and oh, the time I sutleredl The women
drank their tea and left, and then Angelina
turned to mo w ith a cold sarcastic smile,
"I see by your face that that little story is
perfectly true, Mr. Mactaggert," she said.
"Angelina," I faltered, "I have done noth
ing that should give olleiico to you."
"Nothing but lovo another woman," she
answered, "Love her and let her see it,
meaning to marry me. Don't think I am hurt;
indeed, I am relieved I I should have kept my
word to you, but for this; but not so gladly as
1 once should. You aro a very good looking
man, but on the whole you don't suit me. I
met Mr. S. at Millport, and he does. Frank
ly, I have been thinking what a pity it was
that I must decline his offer. As for this
Mary, it it not? wouldn't she make a very
good minister's wife?"). "-.
' It came to my mind 'that she would that
she was the only wife for me; that Angelina
splendid as she was would never make me
happy.
But I only said, "Miss Melville, if you de-
sire to have your freedom, I have no choice."
"I desire it greatly," she answered.
"It is yours," I said, with a bow.
After that I think that we were both hap
pier than we had been for days, and shook
hands w hen we parted.
That night I went np to the Vale of Cruix,
and I told Mary that my marriage was bro
ken off, and that she was tRe only woman I
had ever loved. She tried to summon up her
pride and refuse me, but failed in the attempt
and let me take her to my haart. To-day I
am pastor of the church at the Vale of Cruix.
Mary is my wife, and we are as plain and qui
et a pair as you could fancy. I even help my
wife pick currants for tea, and I have taken a
turn at the garden when help was scarce. But
I do not envy Mr. S.'s wife, nor pine for tho
luxurious possibilities that I lost with Angeli
na. Mary and my little home content me.
But one thing is on my conscience. I havo
never been able to ask myself the question,
"Did I flirt with Mary? If not, what was it?"
Chemistry for Farmer Boys.
How many of our young readers ever stop
to ask themselves when thej drink from the
"Ripplinu Brook" or "Crystal Fountain."
What is water ? Does one in a thousand ever
dream that it is composed of two inflammable
gases, oxygen and hydrogen ? How strange
that firemen should uso water to quench the
flames of tho burning building when cither of
the composing gases would add to the strength
of the flame immensely.
And what is more strange is the fact that
one of the products of flame is water; when a
lamp or candle burns, the red hot carbon
unites with a portion of oxygen and forms
carbonic acid gas, and a portion of the carbon,
not being oxidized, passes off as soot, while at
tho same time a portion of oxygen unites with
tho hydrogen, (for oil is a hydro-carbon) and
thus forms water. Hold a cupful of cold wa
ter some little distance over a lamp chimney,
and you will soon find dampness on the bot
tom of the cup, the cold having condensed the
steam into water.
There is no doubt that water may bo form
ed in the air by changes of heat and electricity
and also that the littlo tiny globes of water
that float in the air may be dissolved into
their gaseous elements by the same means.
Do wo ever feel thankful that the elements
aro in the hands of a master chemist; that so
much water is formed as is beneficial for his
children and no more. We might be flooded
with water, or burned into ashes any day if a
.Master a hand had not control of our destinies.
Wo road that tho windows of Heaven wero
opened, that is, the hydrogen was allowed to
descend and unite with the heavier gas, ox
ygen, and water was formed and covered the
face of the earth, but when the order was
given and the water evaporated, the elements
separated, probably eaclutaking its own place
as neioro.
Let us see what a beautiful and complete
irrigating scheme we see in tho works of Nav
turo; every day little globules of water leave
the rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, and from
tho land, and remain suspended in the atmos
phere till a change takes place in the tempera
ture of the air, which causes these tiny glob
ules to come closer and several run into each
other when they become too hoavy to remain
in such a light medium, and they fall to the
earth in the shape of rain, or those little drops
may become frozen and a number unite to
gether into flakes, and when the air becomes
warmer, w hich causes thoso beautiful crystals
to unito into clusters aud grow heavier, and so
fall to tho earth in the form of snow. But this
evaporation goes on from the solid ice and the
cold snow as w ell as from tho waters of the
seas. We may admire tho artificial fountain
to be seen in pleasure grounds here and there,
but how insignificant are such things when
compared with tho works of Natnre tho wa
ters rising constantly into the atmosphere and
as constantly falling to nourish tho growing
corn, and tho green meadow s, tho flowers and
tiees that man has never lieheld, all cared for;
all smiling at tho bountiful baud that "sends
rain on tho just and unjust."

mountains, poised up into tho cold at.nos-

Messrs. Hodge, Davis & Co.: Having used the reme
dr that you sent me last Spring for scab among mj
sheep, 1 nave delayed giving you results until the pres
ent time, as I desired to allow sufficient time to elapse
so as to be certain that the disease was thourougnlr
cui ed. I dipped my sheep twice after shearing, at in
tenals of 15 days, aud have examined the flock carefully
at least once a eek since the last dipping, but have
discovered no remains of the disease. I do not hesitate
to recommend j our preparation as a complete and cer
tain remedy for scab among sheep.

Put up in alr-t'ght cans, holding seven pounds each
