Amelia Fitzgerald 11 the danf-Mir of a north country manufacturer, w ho li ft her many thousands ot pound in hard cash, with part of which Ahhotscraithio has lately been pur chased. It is a handsome Btonc house, in the Centre of a lair Low land estate, honnic with moor and forest. Iliihes apart, she is a lovable little woman enoughs jet Lttciin I'ltergald docs not love her, and for no moio valid rea son than that she is not somcl ody ilse. Then why have married her ? 1 he question is only too pregnant, tho answer too olmous. When a mutual friend, a inatch-tnahing woman, had first broached thosulij ct t ln.n, )o mrwered at once: "Can you ask mo? If the joung lady is fool enough to marry me, hue 1 am, and let's Waste no rr.oro words about it." Amelia Huggins was not bug fiom the school room, and fill of sweet schoolrooniish view of love. Tho younger son of an t.ir!, fio feet eleven, handsome, and apparently charmed with her; what moie could she want? Now, Lucius was no abandoned wretch; ho was simply a young man wIimso six or eight yean of life had dispossessed him of abcut double tho number of tliousiiids, which hud ever belonged to him Oh, a cry vulgar miracle as times go and ho had ltter'y that is, for tho past year or two saddled himself with a despci.ita passion for lkrtha Vcrulam, and which, alas, she full V returned. As neither of these ill starred loveis had any money, or even a reason l lo expectation Of being left some, Limns felt no sort of scruple in ollcring his heart to the willing Amelia. Ah, ami ho would do his duty Ilk" a man, ho would. No moie (luting now. Of course, If they met much, it would bo awkward doiioed dangerous (with nnotlier "liy Jovol") i "And sii wis. ritvgrrni'i insists on i.atiy Verulam and her daughter Ii nig invited, mused her husband. "'I he Verul.ims of all Seoplo in tho world I For lVrcy tool As if lirdio Verulam (as sho was culled, her real name being Hertha,) would many I'uejl" I'erey is Amelia's brother, older tlinii hIio is by four or live ears. Itii.li, of course. Unj oins senior left lu ttioutauds etjually divided. But the son had not acrjuirod any ot that gen tleness and good breidmg, which st emed to have coiuu tn the sistei its if by inngic. "Yet he is hisbrother-iii law, must be made the best of, and is even now coming on the 10th to meet Ijidy Constiiiiti i tho fastidious and her delightfully line daughter! If only they would send an excuse: nut no. uncum Stances would never go ami risk tin ir chcr ished old reputation fur spitefuliiessj. flow they must snulo now that is, il they cvtr do smile." All this time Amelia was perfectly happy and screno; for when Lucius was with her lie was moro than ecu mix prtlt mint, ninl thin had she not gamed licrown way in tho nutter of invitinir theso Y villains? And they were coming, too. "Were going to poy othtr msiU in the neighborhood, and should he so delighted," Lady Cons'antu's Doto had said. Lady Coiist.mtia was Itiuliu's stepmother, and the cirl was ill pendent on her for food, shelter and clothing utterly dtpendiut; ami her father's chattering, good-natured, shallow -patetl widow was calculating, though Kindly, and had, tin reover, but a limited income. To marry Lucius, llirdia knew, wns utteily impossih'e- knew it fiom thu inument the first lovodlutter acttattd her heart; so site re signed him gave him with her own fno will to Amelia, Sho had a mot bid longing to wit pees the tueeiss of hit' work and had accom panied her mother to Abbotscraithm, delud ing herself into thu ldta that she would liuicc forth cudme tho void in hei life with less bit ter pangs if she wile but allotted to see Lin ins rich, happy and contented. So, w hiii 1-nly Coustuutia told htr Unit she ))d received an mutation fiom Mis. l'itgti kid, and ill her blindness and her lino of living at othtr people's expense snpgrstiil that they should accept it, Hit die had otlerid no opposi tion. When a woman allows herself to line a married man, she may tell her conscience that every taint itont mo witu panitatus Iter guilt; but sho must be morally blind, indeed, if she imagines that all the ijiislititsof all tho angels centered in tho wrong ono would ever ho weighed with her in the uidiilc.eiico of her urn lawful passion. Theie was something artless an evident dcairo to like and to bu liked about the wo man in posses' ion, which went sti night to Dirdie's heart and disarmed her of au ill feeling against Lucius' wife that is to Bay no more. 'Tins is the first time 1 luvo eer met any really great friends of my husband," said Amelia, pouting out thn tea, "and Jim don't know 1 lime been looking forwaul to your coming," I jtil V Ooiistauti.i lUclaitd herself dihghtcd to be there. She was something of n rattle, was her la dyship, and not over-particular about being listened to. This llirdiu had Ioiil' since ascer tained. At that moment she was dreamily contemplating Amelia. "How a man might love that sweet little woman if she had only got the first chance of Jilinl" was the mental ejaculation, A week passed, and llinlie suggested to La dy Coustsutia that it wai time they took their leave and went to the house of some other friends; but Lady Gmttantia was comfortable and contented lit luxurious AbboUcraitlue, ud sho would not bo hustled, lliidie must endure her tuituio a little lunger. Blie liait tone out mono one lovely Septem "Impos ible!" repeated he; "impossible that you can ever care for tin !" And 1'eicy, whoo be tef in himself was im mense, looked at her in absolute astonish moot. Untie r happier auspice liirdie would have 'an.JiMi: as it was, sho turned from liitnwith a sort A di'gttst, merely raj iup very quietly: "I'lenso leave mo; 1 would rather be alono " A hot flush roso into I'erey's faco as she spoke. Tins son of the ptople imogined that Ihrdic, being tho dan h'er of a great house, was lloiitmg hfin, and lie ris Iveel to be re- v engeu. 1'oor Ihrdic 1 Of tl t fecial chasm that lay bctwctti them she n vcr thought; only of how ulttrly incapable a man like I'erey was to supplant Lucius in her axlii'iitr heart JJittirly angry with liiiiitelf for evoking it, and with lludio for (liering what he wan pleased to call an insult, he left tho erbor without another word, walking rapidly along the path toward the house. Vhea he i uhott' naif w.y boiiio sound attracted his at tention, and he looked mound. Lucius, stroll ing bark, gun in hand and alone, had reached the arbi r ami stopped: niiothci tccond and ho passed inside and out oi view. "So so, my lady I '1'leaso leae me; I would rather be alone.' Of curc, ou would. Hut jou will not carry on jour little games at Ahbotscraitnio if I can prevent it." In less than five minutes Amelia, forewarn- d by I'erey, was creeping along through the brushwood to tho back of tho arbor, to learn, if possible, herself unheal d. something. of whit was going on between her husband and Ihrdic Vcrulam. "I would never have come if I bad known; but, h, Lucius, I thought I could havo beino it U by did you let li r invite us ?" "My darling, 1 did my utmost to prevent it; but she was very positive, nnd I web you bade mo marrv her. and I well. ou see. I did not think you would care so very much." "Oh, Lucius, I should have made no eneri fico for you if I had not really eated, but I thought I was braver. Il only Lady 0 mtau t a would ho persuaded to take mo home " "My poor, poor, sweet love. llirdicl" was all the m n could murniiir. Jliero was no consolation to oiler now. You must not kiss mo.

In tho arbor, for a long space, the soft, buzWiig, lay stiminersountla w.re disturbed by Hit die's sobs; while outside, with nothing uciwccn iiiciu out I lie tiiiu, wooden partitions sat Amelia, on the ground among the under wood, her lit ad on l.er knees, which were sttr roun led by hi r clasped bands.

History of the Tomato. A good many years ago a scamp who had recently arrived from tho Bermuda Islands, was sent to York county Pa., jail for some offense committed against tho aws of the com mon wealth. He had with him. a few seeds which ho planted in the r'ch soil of the jail yard. Before the plants which sprang irom seed readied maturity he was discharged, and no one knew the name or nature of them They grew luxuriantly, bearing fruit of a large size and unusual appearance. As this strange fruit ripened, its color changed from green to a brilliant red, and became an object of won der and admiration to all the inmates of the jail. Mrs. Klinefelter, tho lady keeper, cau tioned all tho prisoners against eating any of the fruit, as sho was sure it was poisonous, and l esides that, sho had promised tho man w ho had planted the seed that sho would en dotvor to preserve specimens of it for him should ho return in time. Just when the fruit vvos fully matured the Bermuda pri oner revisited the jail and asked to see tho plant. This request granted, he next caucu i"r pepper, salt una vinegar, anil to tl o horror of tho good lady, commenced to cat of tho supposed poisonous fruit with a rel ish that astonished the beholders. Afler en jojingthe strange repast, he informed Mrs. K. that tho fruit or vegetable was tho tomato or love apple, and it would be found whole some and nutritious. Thu seed of the remaining tomatoes were carefully preserved and distributed among the friends nnd neighbors oi the lady, and thus this now popular esculent wasintrotlucfd into tho ancient itnd goodly borough of York. For many jears thereafter it was cultivated as an ornament rather than for table ue, but by decrees its merits becan to be moro fullv un derstood and appreciated, and there, as else where it gicw into general public favor. Tho Hop Mamet There is little to report of tho hop market in Ivew lork since our last. 'J ho demands and sales have been light, The country mar kets are very firm at 'Jo cents per pound for the best, farmers expect a rise, and ure not willing to sell even at !." cents. Thu weather is not favorable to tho hop ards, but we can not seo any senous injury as jet. E ports aic very light, the Knglifh market be ug very dull, Our resurrected friend, L'nimct Wells, in a circular, purple and blooming with rejuven ated life, lepnrts as follows : The New York market continues to rule very firm, and one cent higher has been real ized on all descriptions of hops except year lings, i'iteifio Ciast and foreign. The im provement may be directly attributed to an advance in prices in the interior, nearly every holder there of choice hops now demanding '25 cents, and which, in a tew instances, has been icaliml. Tho advauco tlieio no doubt is tho result of the bail outlook for thu com ing crop, though it would seem lather early in tho season to speculate on such reports, and quotes : New YorK crop, 1881, choice, 24fe20c; medium. 2123e; low to fair, lofeiiU; Lastein, 17(9'J3; Wisconsin, 17-i Yeirlings, ciop 18bU, 12(3,20; Olds, all giovvths, li(gll; I'acitiJ Coaat, now, 2J(ij2o; iUvanaus, ,io(n,,i,; iSohcuuans, .tafe-tn, Jiieuert' Uaiette. , Progs as Food. It way bo new to many of our readers that in Eastern cities frogs are considered excellent eating, and that the markets are kept sup plied for tho demands of hotels and eating houses. In the city of Boston alone, .hun dreds of dozens are sold daily. The catching of those animals give employment to many. Every well kept hotel is as well supplied with frogs as with chops and steaks. As a general thing only the legs are used, and they are said to ho delicate in flavor. They are caught alive if possible, and are kept in hogsheads of water, into w hicli bits of meat and vegetables aro thrown in order to fatten them. At inter. .vols they are taken out and allowed to exer cise within a given tpace, and again put in clean water till sufficiently fattened for mar ket. One dealer in Boston keeps a dozen men employed about the various ponds, shipping the animals in moss in boxes to the city. The French have always been called a frog-eating people; the Germans and Americans have gradually adopted the taste as well. At first thought it seems revolting, yet turtles and eels arc equally as disagreeable to look at, and are eaten by most people with a relish. There are but few tiogs in Oregon, so there is little chance that epicures will call for them here. Pout Intelligencer: Delegate Brents has re cently introduced in Congress a number of bills of much interest.
