CHAPTER XXV.

| (Contiimed. )

Arthur dared not turn bis eyes toward |Hetty while Mrs. Irwine was speaking of ,her, He feigned notto hear, and to be joccupied with something on the opposite iside. But he saw her pl«inly enough with- ‘looking; saw her in heightened beauty, ‘because he heard her beauty praised—for ‘other men’s opinion, you know, was like a native climate to Arthur's feelings; it was |the air on which they thrived the best and grew strong. Yes! She was enough to turn ‘any man’s head; any man in his place would | have done and felt the same, Andto give her up after all, as he has determined to do, | would be an act that he should always look | back upon with pride.

‘ No, mother,’ said Mr. Irwine, replying to her last words, ‘I can’t agree with you | there. ‘he common people are not quite so stupid as youimagine. The commonest ,man, who has his ounce of senee and feel- |ing, is conscious of the difference between a \lovely, delicate woman anda coarse one. | Even a dog feels a difference in their pre- ‘sence. The man may be no better able |than the doz to explain the influence the imore refined beauty has on him, but he | feels it.’ | ‘Bless me, Dauphin, what does an old | bachelor like you know about it?’ | *QOh, that is one of the matters in which |old bachelors are wiser than married men, because they have time for more general contemplation. Your fiae critic of women must never shackle his judgment by calling one wowan his own; but, as an example of what I was saying, that pretty Methodist preacher I mentioned just now told me that she had preached to the roughest miners, and had never been treated with anything but the utmost respect and kindness by them. The reason is—though she doesn’t know it—that there’s so much tenderness, refinement and purity about her. Such a womaa as that brings with her ‘airi from heaven’ that the coarsest fellow is not in- sensible ‘o.’

‘ Here's a delicate bit of womanhood, or girlhood, coming to receive a prize, 1 sup- pose,’ said Gawaine. ‘She must be one of the racers in the sacks, who had set off befere we came.’

The ‘ bit of womanhood’ was our cld acquaintance, Bessy Cranage, otherwise Chad's Bess, whose large red cheeks and blowsy person had undergone an exaggera- tion of color, which, if she had happened o bea heavenly body, would have made her sublime. Bessy, I am sorry to say, had taken to her earrings again since Dinah’s departure, and was otherwise decked out in such small finery as she could muster. Anyone who could have looked into poor Bessy’s heart, would have seen a striking resemblance between her little hopes and anxieties and Hetty’s. The advantage, perhaps, would have been on Bessy’s side in the matter of feeling. But then, yeu see, they were so very different outside ? You would have been inclined to box Bessy’s ears, and you wonld have longed to kiss Hetty.

Bessy had been tempted to run the arduous race, partly from hoidenish gaiety, partly because of the prize. Some one had said there were to be cloaks and other nice clothes for prizes, and she approached the marquee, fanning herself with her handkerchief, but with exultation sparkling in her round eyes.

‘Here is the prize for the first sack- race,’ said Miss Lydia, taking a large parcel from the table where the prizes were laid, and giving it to Mrs. Irwine before Bessy came up; ‘an excellent grogram gown and a piece of flannel.’

‘You didn’t think the winner was to be so young, I suppose, aunt?’ said Arthur, ‘Couldn’t you find something else for this girl, and save that grim-leoking gown for one of the older women ?’

‘I have bought nothing but what is use- ful and substantial,’ said Miss Lydia, ad- justing her own lace; ‘I should not think of encouraging a love of finery in young women of that class. I havea scarlet cloak, but that is for the old woman who wins.’

This speech of Miss Lydia’s produced rather a mocking expression in Mrs. Irwine’s face as she looked at Arthur, while Besey came up and dropped a series of courtesies.

‘This is Bessy Cranage, mother,’ said Mr. Irwine kindly. ‘Clad Cranage’s daughter. You remember Clad Cranage, the black- smith }’

‘Yes, to be sure,’ said Mrs. Irwine. ‘Well, Bessy, here is your prize—excellent warm things for winter. I’m sure you have had hard work to win them this warm day.’

Bessy’s lip fell as she saw the ugly, heavy gown, which felt so hot and disagree- able, too, on this July day, and was such a great ugly thing to carry. She dropped her courtesics again, without looking up, and with a growing tremulousness about the corners of her mouth, and then turned away.

disappointed. I wish it had been some- thing more to her taste.’

‘She’s a bold-looking young person,’ observed Mis Lydia ‘Not at all one should like t» encourage.’

Arthur silently resolved that he would make Beszy a present of money before the day was over, that she might buy some- thing more to her mind; but she, not aware of the consolation in store for her, turned out of the open space, where she was visible from the marquee, and throwing down the odious bundle under a tree, began to cry— very much tittered at the while by the small boys. In this situation she was des- cried by her discreet matronly counsiv, who lost no time in coming up, havi given the baby into her husband’s charge.

“Ye may take it all, for what I care,’ said Bess the maiden, with a pettish movement, beginning to wipe away her tears and recover herself.

The Whipping Post.

Senator Adams, of Philadelphia, has in- troduced a bill in the legislatute of Penn- sylvania to adopt the whipping postas the mode best adapted for the punishment of wife-beaters. This may seem barbarous, but wife beating is more barbarous, and should meet with sharp,heroic and decisive punish. ment. Justice, as now administered in such cases, is too slow and uncertain, and too inadequate to prevent such misdemeanors. To send such an offender to jail, is too de- prive his wife and children of is presence and labor for a time, to fine him his to de- prive them of a portion of their means of their means of subsistence, but to apply the cowhide would punish without depriv- ing them of either, and would be more likely to prevent a repetition of the crime. The logic of the whip would he more potent and more convincing to the iriate husband than any other mode of punishment. There are husbands—but we trus: not many—-who act as though their wives uad no rights they are bound to respect. The word of such a husband is the law of the household, to be enforced, not unfrequently, by kicks and blows, and usually supplemented with vile epithets and curses. Such a miscreant should have a summary trial and sentence in the township where the offence was committed, marched to the county-seat and suffer the penalty at the hands of the Sheriff, and then instead of being kept for weeks in jail at the ex- pense of the public, allowed to go home with a realizing sense that blows inflicted by him upon his forbearing and patient wife are sure to bring condign punishment upon himself,

Making Trees Bear Yearly.

From the American Garden :—In many parts of the country,apple trees yield a crop of fruit only every alternate year, the year represented by an odd number (1889) being barren, while that represented by an even number (1880) will be fruitful. Some trees will yield fruit every other year, while others near them on every side will annual- ly produce a bountiful crop.

Two seasons are required to producea crop of applies, that is, during one season the frait buds are developed, and during the next, fruit. All the vital energies of some trees are employed during one season to develop the fruit-buds; then the year following their entire vitality seems to be spent in developing the fruit, without suflicient force being left to form fruit-buds for the crop of the next season.

Now, in order to induce an apple tree to bear every season, climb into the top, or go up on ladders, just as one does when pluck- ing the ripe fruit, and with a pair of sharp shears clip off all the young fruit from about half the tree. Then fruit-buds will form on that side of the tree from which the young apples were cut off. One-half the top, then, will bear fruit one year, while the ether half will yield fruit the next season.

A Unique Rudder.

The fishing schooner Neskletia, of Locke port, Captain Thorburne, which arrived at Halifax a few days ago from the Grand Banks, had her rudder carried completely away during a heavy gale on the Banks. After the accident the crew set to work to see what could be done in the way of making a new rudder to work the vessel into port, and after some consideration it was decided to make one out of a hawser, which was accordingly done. A nine-inch hawser was taken and cut into suitable lengths and after a good deal of trouble, made into shape of a regular rudder,rudder post and all complete. The small fishing anchors were attached to it to keep it down and lines passed under her bottom and up through the hawse pipes and made fast so as to keep it close tothe vessel. The steer- ing with tackles end the vessel safely worked into port. She is now on the marine slip.

The Japanese Dentist.

The Japanese dentist does not frighten his patient with an array of steel instru-

ments. All of his operations in tooth draw-

ing are performed by the thumb and fore- finger of one hand. ‘The skill necessary to do this is only acquired after long practice, but once it is obtained the operator is able to extract a half dozen teeth in about thirty seconds without once removing his ifingers from the patients mouth. The dentist’s education commences with the | pulling out of pegs which have been press- ed into soft wood; it ends with the dragging of hard pegs which have been driven into an oak plank with a mallet. A writer in the Union Medical says that no human jaw can resist the delicate but powerful mani- pulations of the Japanese Dentist. Key West

Key West, Florida, which has a popula- ‘tion of 15,000, is one of the most peculiar cities in the world. It hasno chimneys, no ‘show windows, no brick blocks, no fine | buildings, no planing mills, no steam mills, ‘no machine shops, no farmers ¢riving in
