A Scotch stile with rough pointed handles, -rjik the horns of the altar. Perched upon the fsid etile, her head thrown back against one ft tbe handles, her white soft dress swathing Jlr in clinging folds, a fair picture was Maidie. The sky glowed salmon and gold, the river rn down below, trees rustled, cattle left browsing and drew near, scanning Maidie with carious eyes. Bat Maidie noted nothing of all this, lor truly she had much to think about, and she bad eome out to that particular place fully determined to think it all out at as great a length as she pleased. A happy afternoon's dreaming had seemed to her a very desirable thing from the moment when the object of those dreams had gone oil with the shooter, jrad now she was enjoying it thoroughly. Maidie, Jinny and Cecil Dundas livid and bad lived nearly as long as they could remem ber with their uncle, the admiral. Uncle Andrew loved them all, but Maidie VH the apple of his eye. Storgheid was Uncle Andrew's house; the ushing storg the river at Maidie's feet. Maidie was an exquisite being; tall, slight And fair, with tender dark gray eyes and skin ct which the delicate bloom gave one the idea that even a touch would wound her, and indi cation of feelings and susceptibilities almost (00 highly strung for this work-day world. Jtot seldom, indeed, would she bewail the loss of some pleasure from which she had absented bertelf through a sort of morbid dread of hav ing her feelings trodden on, and would then ally agree with her sister Ouincver (shortened to Jinny in babyhood) when she encouraging Iv remarked. "But, do you know, Maidie, ymi really are quite too ridiculous old shrinkest !" Bwcet Maidie 1 All alone with nature she COuId dream at her caso nnd smile, and wonder over this new and delightful incident in her life that Keil Campbell should have fallen in Jeve with ner Instead of any other of the thou sand other girls ho had met. "I wonder if ho won't find this place very dttllf Odd he should like to go with all these uninteresting men, though, of course, he had to. How handsome he looked last night among all these old fogies! And how he took it OUt of Ouueral Townoj at billiards I That pleased me. Conceited old tiling I What a splendid head Neil has! Oh," looking nt her watcn, "I've stayed out too longl They will bo back and Jinny will bo homo 1 1 wonder how be will like Jinny?" For Jinny had been away when the con quering hero arrived, and had moreover never seen the said hero, Muidie's little romance baring taken placo at n little houso further north, where sho and Captain Neil Campbell had been on a visit, Mid whero, the weather being mild and much comp niooship unavoid able, and Maidio being charming and Neil impressionable, and, what with one thins; and nothet, the usual results followed and they were engaged, and lasi night Neil had ariived t Storgheid to mako acquaintance with his betrothed'r people. Tho sun ifropped suddenly behind the low hills, the gudo wife from the farm on tho other tide of tin' river began to call home her ducks, (nd Maidio, Ktthuring up her sweeping folds with a deft hand, walked through thu grass long tho rivor path. Past tbe first hedgo she saw two forms ad vancing to moit her one in a shooting suit of rough gray, tho other in white garments, like her own, swinging a large hut in her hand. Neil and Jinny! And a gray mist swept up from the river and the day grow suddenly dim. CIIAlTKIl 11. Maidie awoke tho next morning with a feel ing of oousiderable depression upon her a feeling tint did not v. oar oil', but deepened as tbe days ran by. Neil had baid: "By Jove, your sister's the most beautiful woman going!" "And Jinny had allowed'' that tlicro was something very sympathetic about Neil, uhuii Maidie hid delicately sounded them as to leir opinion about caoh other. And their tastes fitted so well ! Maidie, sitting in tho old window seat ill tho grat hall, it might have been a fortim-lu after Neil's coming could hear thein trying melodies together. Perhaps it was as well Maidio was in the hall and not in the inusio room, for Neil, lean ing against tho p ano, with his dark eyes lixul on Jinny's profile, was milting fur too much expreMion into tho violin s stnngs, ami Jinny seemed rather confuted and self-conscious. "I'm tired of iliiyum," said sho, lifting her radiant eyes to Neil e form under her rippling russet hair. Neil had been absorbed in tlio-iglit-va,-iio and sweet, and hud been translating thosu meditations into music. This suddeu luiigu of JijinVs gave him a shock, though ho did not" show any signs of tliscointltiiro, but merely stroked hit dark mustache rellectiwly, quiet ly observing) "Oh, lie ! Why add to tho mass of false .bodd alioidy going in this wicked world! Are you ever tired of playing? Did you ever try to work? You didn't give that last phrase rightly i let me show yo;" and stooping over iirr, ho played a few notes. Was it lor the chance ot touching Jinny's stroking linger? Tho touch as almo-t too much furTiiin, ami Jinny's llu.h became crimson. He could al most fuel the hot glow of her cheek; the brown head a id the golden were perilously close. Jinny sprang up. "Oh, don't go I said Neil. "I was on the brink of composing the most lovely sonata in fifty thousand parts 1" "Uilnr leimihy, isn't it?" said Jinny, "The sitiijeot demanded it," said Nell, his eyes adding, "You were the subject," Jinny dropped hers. "Are you going with us to-night?" asked she. "Certainly, Lady Towney talked to me tike a nwtlicr aumt it; sho seemed quite anx ious to prevent mo (hiding Dverdalu dull,' 1 don't feel it so iu the least; rather too exciting Im fan 11.1 v-nn lltlil it llllll Vila .111. nut" t "Sometimes," rvspouded Jinny, "'J billiards for a disti action, shall m !" 'Try "l'ool," said Neil, "and I will let )ou take all my lives with pleasure." , So the day wauud, aud presently Maidie, Coming down sttiis attirfd in cream satin, tritb a m'S of palest roses on tier bosom, caught sight of Neil ami Jiiiiiv standing to gether waiting iu the hall till the party as semldtd, aud N'eil took a flower Irom Jinny's bouquet aud did not put it in his coat, al though it disappeared into some inner nvw. "A uli.maii, said he. "AgiHut Hit;? queried Jiuuy, raislui her e. .enrows, Maidiu vcat ntler than over that niilir. but Jiuiyl lua white hcodivss, thu only touch , of color a huge cardinal tan. with her radiant violet eyes, her russet golden hair rippling all over her charming little head, her white shoulders and superb arms "'id over all that indefinable air of a wood nymph! "How lovely your sitcr looks to-night!" said Maidie's old admirer, Frank Murrav, in tho pauae of a waltz. "I suppose that's the fellow she's engaged to," continued he, for he had only come over for the dance and had not heard the story correctly. "He seems awful smitten, and no wonder. Lucky man ! "Luckv man ! Lii-uc-kv man I siehed the orchestra, and then begin swaying around in the most absurd fashion. "I think I'll sit down," gasped Maidie. "I feci giddy." 'Fearfully hot !" sympathized Frank. "Ventilatian conspicuous by its absence. Come into the conservatory; its better there." So Maidie went with him, a mist before her eyes, a buzzing in her ears and tho band play ing soltly in waltz time, "Lucky man! Lu-uc-kv man I ' Out of the mist a picture took form -Jinny sitting against dark shining leaves, the soft glow from a Japanese lantern lighting her cleamintr eyes and falling like sunset over her shadowy dress. Close by, Neil lounging with long, little limbs against a pillar; while like an angry cloud, hovered between them Jinny's cardinal fan, of which Neil had possessed him self and was making it do hfor both. CIIAITKI lit. Restless with turning, weary with thinking, unable to stay the iteration. "Lucky man! Lu-uu-ky maul" in her ears, Maidie's feverish night merged into morning. "It's absurd 1 After all, why do I worry myself? He danced a good deal with her; but that's nothing, coming from the same house and my sister. Jinny, l know, is irresisiioie to most people. I should be jealous if it were any one except Neil; but I feel sure of him !' "Didshe?ft "And Jinny, she always flirts with every one; but she means nothing by it. Nothing? Yet Oh, I cannot bear it I If if but only yesterday Neil was talking to Uncle Andrew about our tedding. Oh, I wish I could sleep if only for a couple of hours. I shall look a fright!" A "fright" she did not look, but pale and fragile ai a wood flower after a storm. At tho late breaKiast me next aay, "Maidie's wearied," said Aunt Margaret. "You mado her danco too much. Neil I" Good soul, she had not been to the ball l Thero was a moment's silence. Muidie's heart thumpid. Jinny blushed. Neil looked up from his plate, a ruther conscious expres sion in his eyes. "You mean Air. rrancis Murray, saiu no. "Maidie quite cut me. I saw them, but when I went to look for her she was gone; they were both gone!" "We wero in tho conservatory," Maidie said, and having Baid it she could not resist glancing from Neil to Jinny, who returned the glauco uneasilv. Neil looked at Maidie and noticed how wan sh was; it did not strike him to connect her dejected appearance with liimseit. Accustomed to improve the sinning nour in anv wav that took his fancy, he did not ap preciate dancer and forgot the riskiness of playing with fire. No doubt, if ho had thought on tho subject at all, he would havo considered himself quite exemplary in the character of an engaged mau and would cheer fully have fought anybody who presumed to differ from hu opinion. Perhaps some light wave of compunction did pass over his inner consciousness; but Jinny happening to rise at that moment, he was constrained to watch her graceful movement, and if they wero dim warnings they were routed on tho spot. "What shall e do to night?" asked he, as they strolled into tho old hull. "Well, 1 dou't mind confessing, I'm awful ly dono up," said Jinny. "I haven't a toe' left; I shall take a delightful nap aftor lunch." Here Cecil, htr brother, appeared. "I have a message to thee, 0 Captain !" ex claimed ho. "Yos; what may your message bo ?" asked Neil. "Undo Andrew sent me in to tell you that tho water servos, and that we're coing to have a 'leistering' t i-niglit," said Cecil. 'Then we'll all assist," said Jinny; "it's the first this season." "The first? Thon we may all wish wishes," cried Maidio, who was recovering her spirits and inclining to deride her nightmare ot the last twelvo hours. "liide at haine, mado! Bido at hamc!" said Cecil, who was n boy of domineering dis position. 'Ho and Jinny had pitched battles, on an avcrago, fivo times a day. "There's no room in the trows" (trows bung two Hit bot tom boats fastened together,) "lor such kittle cattle." "Then you'll havo to stay out," retorted Jinny. "I'ut!" said Cecil," "girls always faint pok ing their noses where they're not wanted. ' Sing, "lUli, to yen ! Pooh-pooh, to you!" chanted Jinny, making for tho broad stair case. Cecil Hew after her. Sing, "Uah, to you 1 II i, ha, to you I" came down tho stairs, followed by the bang ing of a door; aud Cecil, balked of his victim, I e turned panting. The old houso was very still in the quiet of the long afternoon, as Maidie camo down from he- nap refreshed nud comforted. As she crossed the lull, th-i pale October sunshiuo streamed in and lighted on ouo .of the family portrait hanging above the deep tlioplaue. Shu stood a moment regarding it, resting one foot on the 1 iw stono that ran round the hearth. A subdued click came from the billiaul room, and immediately after from tlto music room close, at hand, stole the low wail of a violin beginning tho exquisite duet in tho garden scene of "Faust." Low, tender and sweet, Maidie listened en tranced, as it rote iu cadences even mora pas sionate, until silence! was that a sob? Maidie walked in at the oien door, her light step unheard on tho thick carpet, hei form hidden by a mass of tall plants that served as a screen, and saw Jinny held fast in Neil's arms, her lips departed, a scarlet Hush on lu r lovely cheek. Their gleaming eyes looked deep iut each other's depths; the next instant Neil g-ive Jinny one long, tierce kiss that seemed to ab sorb her very soul. "O Neil I 0 Neil !" panted Jinny, "what, what, will Maidie s?" "Darling, darling!" sighed Neil, "I peter thought 1 should lovo any nue as I do oil I" Listing her hair. "Maidie will forgive us; she would not make us all unhappy, I don't think she cae much for thiugs. it will be all right in time," Maidie stood dazed; then crept out to fly across the hall, up the stairs into the room, bolted tho door, and weep, wocp, weep! "Oh, God iu heav.nl God in heaven!" sobbed she, "I dou't care much! Don't caro much!" The afternoon wore on. Maidie lay ou her bed weeping, weeping. Her maid kuocked. Would she have some tea? No, she would not. She would not go down to diuner. Later Jinny knocked at the door and called) "VYearoKoiiigout to the 'leistering,' Dp come if )0U can, Maidie." Mio answered notuiiigi nut pros 'in ly wuen thev wero ustherinc on the river's hank. mong tho tuggm iiiguisuiiera, snouting ami . - . ,.f . , i i . wav us their torches, Maidie stood wmpptd I in a heavy plaid, with her hat pulled down over her brows, shielding herself from the tlickcriiie light. "That's right!" exclaimed her uncle. "Glad vou're better my pet I Now, then, in with you; push off no, bandy;" and into the trows they got and drifted out into the stream. Neil and the admiral wero standing, spear in hand, waiting for tho moment when the unlucky fish, attracted by the torches, should rise to meet their.fate. Maidie and Jinny were crouched near, un heeded in the general excitement. They had not long to wait. "Hand ye'r licht lower, Jamie monl" The river was running strong, and soon in the circle of yellow light round the trows the doomed fish were swarminir, and the cruel game began, the men striking in every direc tion. Maidie rose and stood by her uncle. "dandy, ye blethering idiot, stjnd out of Miss Maidie s way I Now, darling ! Hullo, there's a fine fellow! Heuch! Have at him!" he lunged forward, the boat swayed. Maidie was gone) "God! Where's Maidie?" shouted he. Jinn screamed and hid her eyes in the shawl. "Maidie! Maidie!" shrieked Neil, and, tearing off his rough jacket, he plunged in. A few brief minutes of confusion, shouting, hopping. "Ho canna find her !" said one of the rough men, looking beyond the circle light, shading his eyes with his hand. "I doot the lassie's a'ready's far'a the island. "Was it chance, or was it design ? Who can say now?" Maidie was gone. The following day when they found her body, the pale still lips opened not. either to accuse or to justify. FACTS ABOUT ENSILAGE. CONTINUED. Capt. G. Morton writes from Essex, Ver mont: Seeing your notice for the Ensilage Uongress, l will send you by to-morrow s ex press a small box of ensilage from my tw& silos, a stone one laid np dry, pointed both outside and in with lime mortar; cement floor and inside walls capacity of 180 tons, costing one hundred dollars. Inis was all the cost. The other a wooden one I built myself in one week out of common boards, same as we would build an ice house, two thicknesses with saw dust, taking a part of hay mow, no basement, banked up on the inside to top of barn sills. and cemented floor, the whole thing costing 830, not including my week's labor. Cipacity, 1U0 tons. Ensilage as well kept, you will see, as in the stone silo. All the cattle have been fed since the first of October on nothing but ensilage, and tne wnoie nerd are, l will guar antee, the finest looking grades there are in the county. I have now 32 head, besides I sold four to butcher the other day. The fod der was grown on eight acres of laud not I highly manured, two acres not producing more man ten ions, leaving tne uu tons irom tho fix acres, and the saino land 'wouldn't have cut mere than six tons of hay. This place, the old homestead 100 acres, never bo- toro kept more than seven cow?, a sheep or two, and lattened a couple ot nogs. 1 now have four fine hog3, and three shotcs, a large horse, 50 or 60 hens, turkeys, and everything lives, on ensilage; tho pigs and hogs have cooked ensilage, mixed half and half with bran and meal, and they are fat and have been since they were small. It has certainly saved one-half in raising them. Seventeen calves, large ones, look splendid, balance to make up tho 32 head, cows and hei.ers, two giviu? milk still, and coming in this spring. This wooden silo has preserved its ensilage just as well as if I had paid out $1,000, and any poor man can build it himself. A number of tho leading farmers who use all the modern modes of feeding, hate been here to look at the cattle that have been fed three and a halt months on ensilage alone, and everyone has said "they are the finest herd we have seen in auy stibles this winter," but still thero are men who will come 60 miles with their minds made up before they get here, to not like it. 411 1 say to such fellows is: "Those are the cows. Look at their eouutenames. You can not argue against facts. Those cattlo know what is best lor them a great deal better than, you or all the scientists do." C. W. Garrett writes trom Enfield, Halifax county, N. C. : 1 havu built two wooden tilos under one roof, each 20 ftet long, 12 wide and 10 deep, and mostly above ground, to-wit: 1 dug in the ground two feet deep, 43 feet long, U wide. At the ends and sides of this hoi) 1 placed good heart white oak sills 12 inch s square, into these I fastened st ids, 2 inches thick and 6 wide, 15 feet lung, 3 feet apart, every alternate stud outside tho bottom sills, the other inside. To t. esc studs outside and inside I made separate walls with 1 inch plank, edges jointed and titling liko a fl or; between these two walls was a space of 12 niches all round; this space I fillet with dirt rammed iu such manner us to exclude the pos sibility of the air asking through to the eu silage. 1 framed a sill, same size ;n the others in tue middle, and made a partition in same manner as tho outside Wvlls as stated. My Kilos are 10 feet deep, tins leaving a space be tween the walls and plates on top of the studs of ft feet, which is iic:cssiry for tilling and weighting them. When filled I cover this en silage with two tliicUiusacs of inch boards, breaking joints, upon these I put U inches of dirt, and upon this I put giecn pine pules any mzu convenient to handle, four tect deep, aud if more ull the better, as there is no danger of getting on too much weight. 1 have a door iu the outer end of each silo, protected with dirt from the air tho same as the walls, two feet Irom the bottom, 5 leet niuli, from which we take the eutilage, as the plank on top are 'aid lengthwise the silo. Alter taking out to the distance of about two feet, 1 put props under to support the weights 011 top, and other props at we penetrate i.ito tho silo when feeding, 1 put up about 40 tons of rj e ensi ago about the first of Juno last, aud com in. need feeding it to my Work auiniaU, mules and horses about the 20th of .'u je; found it in good condition, and luvo now ted three-quarters of it. My stock have kept in good con dition doing the usual work.iequir d ou a Southern farm, and would prefei this food to uood hay or fodder. They eat it just as read ily, though I prefer pea-vino ensilage to rye. The other silo contained about two thirds pea vii et, one-sixth com, oue-sixth pearl millet. 1 opene I the silo tilled ou the "t 1 ot Novemb.-r and found the eiisilago iu a perfect state of preservation, except thai it had undergone what might be undoubtedly termed a viujus fermentation. Whatcvt r the ch inge may have been I found my stock accepted it at once, and I have since been feedug not only my cxiws, but also my horses aud mules; and while almost constantly at work they are in as !ii, condition as I'Woald have them, though I havo given them only two-thirds rations of corn, or w hat w ould have becu given them had I been feeding on hay .or fodder, I have particula'ly noticed my driving horses. Thev stand drives of long distances without any ap earai'co of failure or looseness iu the bowi Is. , therefore, conclude t(tat as food for work animals, it is in every respect equal to bay or IiMdrr. litis 1 consider a very important point to us of the South, as all the writings I have teen on eiuilage speak of feeding it ouly to c ittle, sheep aud hog. The stock all like It U'tter, and will puh aside the corn aud millet aud get the peayiues, every particle of vv huh is eatui clean. 1 iu fur tin r satisfied hat cue-fourth more iu weight of pea vines can be put in a silo than corn cr millet, and as they necome very conjpact there is much less danger in the silo, therefore, conclude that the pea vine is the forage plant of the South. Daniel Stratton writes from Hudson, Mass.: I consider corn the best crop to ensilage, be cause more tons to the acre can be raised than any.othcr, and is easily raised and harvested. The'next is Hungarian grass, the third rowen, because difficult to diy. Rye will do very well for those who fill twice in the year. I feed oO pounds of ensilage a day, besides a liht fod dering of coarse hay and one of husks to each full grown animal. The milch cows teceiving one quart of cottonseed meal and two of shorts daily. My silo is 40 feet long, 16 in width. 16 in depth. I consider it much cheap er than a barn that would hold dry hay enough to feed the same number of cattle the same length of time. I am feeding 50 head of cattle comrosed of 20 milch cows 1 pair of oxen and heifers of dillercnt ages, and selling over $500 worth of hay in a year. I used to keep 8 cows, 1 pair of oxen and a horse. I now keep 3 horses. Success is sure to attend the new method. This is the second year 1 have tried ensilage. Mr. J. Horrigan writes from East Foxboro, Mass. : The most profitable crop to ensilage is Southsrn white corn. Plant in rows three f feet apart and the seed dropped three inches apart, I cut my ensilage three-eighths men long. I "have built a Bilo 60 feet long, 12 feet high, and 11 feet wide, of coarse gravel and cement; the cement cost me sw, wnicn was all the silo cost me, as I did the work by odd jobs on rainy days, c'c. I don't think any far mer has any need to be without one if ho nses good judgment in building, in tilling my silo, I built a platform 4 feet trom the ground and II feet from the bottom f the silo, and placed my cutter on this, which dropped the ensiNge when cut into the pit. I feed my ensilage by taking from the pit one day all I want to use for the next, and also mix the erain which I uso with it. I feed two bushels a day to eich cow. which is about seventy pounds, and I consider this better than thirty pounds of bay. I consider two and a half ton ot ensil age equal to one ton of thx best English hay. I put down 40 tons in 1880, and 100 tons in 1881, and would not desire anything better. I had no waste or loss to amount to anything. M cattle prefer it to the best hay. I am sat isfidd they look and feel better. I am now fattening a cow I thought was too old for milk. I givo her seventy pounds of ensilage a day, six quarts of coumeal and two quirts of cottonseed meal, and she gained in milk six quarts a day and is in condition for the butch er. I hive a farm of 210 acres and 40 head of cattle. I would rather part with one-half the farm than be without the silo. I raise milk for the Boston market. If convenient, I would like to receive the report of the congress. , Chas. T. Cromwell writes from Rye, West chester county, N. Y. : I have built a silo and filled it with ensilage this year, commencing it in March. My first layer, about 18 inches, was of oats; 2d, Canada peas; 3d, red clover; 4th, brewer's giains; 6th, ensilacre corn sowed broadcast; 6th, amber cane or sorghum; 7th, brewer's grains; 8th, ensilage corn planted in drills on the Canada pea field. Of all these, I found oats the most easily crown. the most productive and profitable, the amber cane the next. Our springs are more wet than the summers, and oats come to ensilage ma turity before drought or dry weather sets iu. The amber cane on good ground grow 12 to 14 feet hig i and makes excellent ensilage Mine, notwithstanding the drought, ruu up to 9 to 12 feet. I prefer from my limited experience, as most profitable oats, amber cane, led clover, aud corn in the order in which they are mentioned. My cows take not quite a cubic foot per day. I mix little shorts with it; cut enough out for next day shake it np, and let it stand 24 hours. I feed twice a da;; while packing the ensilage every 4 inches more or less; I sprinkle some salt to make it more palatable. My cows cry for it, and eat it ravenously. I have but one farrow cow, and she has increased her milk in ensilage 7 quarts trom 3 before. I judge from my experience, short though it be, that ensilage is more econ omic, by one-quaiter or one-third, '. e, more productive of milk and butter, anJ of better quality, than when fed on stalks, or hay, or meal, on even beets. Farmers Vtlves, It is an evident fact that farmers' wivei are afflicted with many diseases which are the re sult of overwork. They are constantly on one ceaseless routine of toil from daylight iu the morning till late at night. No chauge, no relaxation, no rest! Farmers should note this fact, and be forewarned before it is too late. It is astonishing what an airhmnt of labor the wives of fanners perform. Many of them get up and have breakfast ready be fore their liusoauds arc out ot bed. Then it is work, work, work until near midnight, their minds duiing the time being constantly occupied with their duties, and with thinking of how the food is to be supplied, when the washing and ironing is to ho done, when time can bo spared to scrub the flooi, how the children are to be clothed and kept tidy, and iununierable other things not necessary to mention, all of which couilnue to overwork and break down the strongest woman in the land. In no caso is it safe to be continuously thinkii upon any one thing, and in cases where the Main has been weakened by too reat a strain upon it, thereby producing in amity, epilepsy, vertigo, hysterics, female wtakntss, geiural debility, and a multitude ofothtr diseases, the remedy is Kest and a '' bottles of Dr. is.
