Vivien dwelt in a pretty cottage by the aeaiid. Ber husband, detained in Paris by his business, could only manage to rome down once week and remain from Saturday to Monday. At the age of 17 Alice had been mnrried to Mr. Vivien, a gentleman 85 years of age. whose devotion to her was a blending of love with fatherly tenderwho would -have repulsed Roger do Beaumont liadjhe begun by making love to her. But the young man was too shrewd to proceed in this way. He understood the young woman's ingenious heart, and he endeavored to gain her confidence by alow degrees. He was the ideal of her most secret thoughts; in a month's time he hail gained her love, even before she herself was aware of It. Roger, himself, was beginning to take an interest in the game he was playing. He even felt a growing passion for that adorable and artleas young woman, and, one evening, while wltu her at the piur. head, where they had gone lo enjoy the breeze, he exclaimed in a voice full of "I lore you!" She tried to make him hush, to show that she was offended; but- he, whose ardor and boldness seemed hightened by the charm and poetry of the delight"J mib uiwm auu puviry ui wo uengui.

Aa he looked at her ahe seemed ready to faint; ahinlng tear drops were wplllnr in her eyes, and her little head quivered like a captive bird. "Let me go," said she In a voice scarcely audible. He eacorted her to the gato and, bow. ing low, be said: "I shall expect an an. •war; it will be a aeotence of death or a command to Hve." An avowal would perhaps have eacaped from Alice's lips hid not the nolae'of footstep* and the sound or voices fallen on her ear. Dreading to be seen, and already as timorous as a guilty perton, the young woman withdrew and hastily entered "I love bim, too! .1 lore him!"murmurrd she; and, remembering how anxiously the young man had wished for an avowal of her love, feeling her heart overflowing, she hastily wrote, with a feverish hand: fov^oSorrow** I°D' *** She smiled while thinking of the gladness that would flil Roger's heart when he read'her letter, and, how notwithstanding the lateness of too hour, she hastened out to drop Bin the letter-box.

With her eyes fixed on the clock, she could only repeat to herself; "The postman Is coming with my letter!" "1 am hungry!" said Mr. Vivien; "suppose we go down to breakfast. I have been traveling since midnight!" \ And both went down together. Aft lack would have it, the postman was behind time that morning. To Alice, the voice of her husband sounded J as .it would have done In a distant I dream, as she pictured to herself the ; scene that waa going to take placeShe looked at him eating so hcartUy, j his eyes beaming with tenderness and confidence, and she thought bow soon I all tlial quiet happiness would vanish, and all through her fault. At last she heard the postman's footstep, and, soon after, the servent laid : the mail on the table. Mr. Vivien looked mechanically at | the envelopes; there were three letters;. , Alice, overcome with terror, felt the f buzzing through her ears as ahe closed her eyes, almost ready lo faint away. r "Who writes to you in this place?" asked her husband, handingher a small, j scented envelope addressed In a strange handwriting. "I dont know" stammered she. dont

"Well, why don't you read that let- ' ter?" insisted Mr. Vivien. * Then, with, a movement of despair, •ha abruptly handed htm the letter, sayr log: "Read it youreelf!" and she awaited, expecting to ace everything fall to pieces about her. She heard the noise of tearing paper, . and then, after a few seconds of mortal agony, her husband aa!d: c "The letter la signed Roger de Beaurnont. no Is the secretary of a benevolent commltle, and requests your aid in raising funds for the orphans." A few tlaya later Mr. Vivien took Alice back to Paris. The young woman 'j had not seen anything of Roger, and ' she was terribly worried by the thought " that her letter had remained in the ^ The remembrance of that letter be- ' At time* ahe would have a crazy notion of throwing herself at her husband's ' feet and acknowledging her moment of folly, but ahe was terrified attbe though t 8 that It might destroy their quiet happiness. Another fear also oppressed her and chocked down the avowel that her overburdened heart wisbed to make. "Will my husband really believe that I- man obtained only those few lines of a love from mc?" She would occasionally sec Roger at e the play, at the races or on the promen- . ade; in loqklng at her be would always e would tremble from shame and angush. i Ten years went by in this way. At ii last they met by chance one evrnlng at . a grand ball. Roger came forward to f engage Alice for a dance. It waa only by a superhuman effort that ahe did not e faint, but, on reflecting that ahe would t perhaps never again have an opportunity of speaking to the man who held e her honor, nay even her life, In his r bands, she accepted his Invitation, r "fill," laid she in a low voice, "for , heaven's sako have pity on me this time.

When dug . they are carefully boarded over, the made light add snug, with the ground sloping away on all sides, so aa allow the surface water to flow from ] tho opening. There la no weU water that Is pure. Something depends on the character of the soil. If sandy, and i the water will quickly disappear from the surface after a rain, the well will drain the soil for a long distance around and the consequence will be that a i portion of the soluble filth cf the soil will find lta way Into the well, although the water may appear sparkling and bright. It 1* contended that the j water: but this depends upon whether J the toll, by long continued abrorptha. , be not already so thoroughly saturated J with Impurities as to refuse to take up • more. But that the roll does not re- ' all the Impurities, even from new ground where a well has been demon- ] etrated by aaturaling the surface earth at a distance from tlie well with kero- i aene oO, which gradually found its way _ to the well (having been washed down i by the ralnaj and imparted lta odor to ' Ui • waters. If the roll be of heavy { clay the danger will be lessened, but on a all porous soils the liability of pollution J of the water is great- No mature heaps, J privies, alakr or other receptacle for « filth or refnne of any kind should be J, within thirty or forty feet of *• .nil, J laud the farther off the better.

C Wells should bo thoroughly cleaned at d least once a year, and especially in the n fail. For a distance of ten feet around it the well tbe surface should be ccmculed, d and the pump Itself thould be cleaned occassonally. Toads, files, bugs, worms ■- and even gnats will in the wain, while n onlya few drops of a -solution from a i- filthy drain or sink, trading Its way Into the well, wi'l carry bacteria enough to, 0 rapidly multiply and contaminate all of the water. Roots of trees and vines e also serve as drains into the well, as 5 they loosen the soil, and for thai reason 1 they should never he planted near the r source of drinking water. _ i Fashion has brought about many • changes in horse breeding among Araerr lean farmers/and no race has set the • new style more forcibly 'or to larger pur. j c pose than the American trotting horse. - The American trotter is a horse capable of every service; there is, In almost Ut- , • eral truth, no limit to the speed in which | I lie can trot one mile, and his capscity of endurance, whereof such contests arc most exacting proof, is accepted aa n 1 fact in the minds of alt observant raen, ' while his patient temper, and good size, 1 combined with the extraordinary muat cularity with which true systems of c breeding have endowed htm. render him an exceedingly valuable animal for any . work of labor and routine. s 1 The farmer .who i» looking forward to , ful th making selection of' lib breedlug animals, and. herein.
