Tho Cultivator says that,in New T.np;- land at least, tliij j^ivalcst dihieuliy in amateur farming is to provide proiii- ablo omployment at all times for fitrin help. llito requires not only a bir^o decree of executive ability but some pruetical experience, so as to plan intel ligently from knowledge of what u fair day's work ou^ht to be. Much is said about rotation of crops, but the larger Jart of tbo .benefit from this ror.ation uauHt come from arran^inu crops tluit, will provido a sueeeasion of woi-k through the entire season. Men ran he "lircd bv tho montn at considerably yyer wutfos than lhe.y must demand poy are employed only by this d;iy, what gain will r.his be to-a farmer Jose erop rotation only provides work ,tbo Fthort timo wbih' wa^i*s are the i?

What they must seeuro is some icthod pf titiiup;'labor that will return It duiintr the same season, or in time to bay.I^rit, This can only be done by " im'cious oronpinp;. Thoso, who lack rporicnee in farming to not know how diversify their *'rnns so ilh to employ icir hired help at all seasons, If t hey IfLVo largo capital they can keep men irkiiiR at permanent, improvements Inch willperhaps pay the interest on no money invested. 'Phis for the capi talist, is well euott^li, but it; does not lCOt the need of those who have to pay [hired help and buy supplies for the family eatdi year out of tho product of their harvests Kor such a diversity of Cropsthat will provide work at all times In as nearly an equal amount as possible l.lSJV.hlU.is .remured. Tho mulri plication of farm machinery, Which enables the farmer to socure his ;rain crops with much less ladp than jofore, has tended to increase tnis dif- [culty. So fuw days work are now re- urea in harvest that this is on most irms where grain is grown not a spoe.i- ?T hurryiiif; time, nor are the wa&es abor so hie;b in money as they were ^idmdnys when harvesting extended iup;li several weeks and required the, ntf' severe labor. This has had much io Jflo witli reducing tho nuiuber and etli- jiQiicy of farm lielp, Th" farmer who hai'vestod his p;rain crop witl; a eradle Avas obliged to hire lielp hy the month '.And Rent rally through the workint; sea- iion. When the complete, harvester \vas perfected bo discarded most of tho tolp 'by, tho moiil.li, and relied on hiring a few men by the day to seeuro "lii pcrain crops. Hut the rnoHt niUcient wor!:-'!^ men could not afford to hold tUem.il Ives idle for the most of the year for tbo Hake of a, few days work in bar- Vest. Now that grain crops arc pjener- ally in tbo East made subordinate.,ffhero should be more birinp; of help by tho [month. This will rwpiire a p^ood deal [of 'calculation in planning crops so that tbo work shall not interfere. All tho (hood crops require work at the. same timo. With fruits it is different. Their harvest time,beginning.with the straw- loorry, extends through the growing 'season and even beyond. Both before ' and after harvest there is always some thing to bo done to tho crop. In places "whore a \u,y%q variety of fruit has been rown'for several yenrs the locality boon fills up with families dependent on daily labor, who are quite as ready to live in tho country as in the city,if they know that they can secure- continuous employment through tbo year. Heli- aoo farm help is badly wanted in many hoighborhoouH. If farmers will begin to plan so as to give it continuous om- jdoymunt at living wages through tho iar, there will bono trouble in socur- . it. On most farms, even in New .fig!aiid,work may bo rnade in winter by thinning out tho wood-growth and Bonding it to -market.

Yeaterday n had boon her lovor, full of protoatatiouo. of affection, and ready, aa aho bolicvod, Ut Hy with her anywhere. To-day ho had flown by himself, and without leaving a word of explanation behind him. But, as tbo wholo of the circumstance!) came to light, when Lady Franc in was drugged away from iho hotel in euuiody, o*i the charge of iho count'o mnrdor, Mine, de . Vigny thought ahe had aolvcd the tiddlu. She had no belief in Fenalla'u account of the dofcnso of her honor. She nneored at the tdoa with an incrt'duloua amiln. liut uhe did think that L<ml Fraucia had found hia wife and Count du Muigor together and had killed hia rival before her oyea, or perhupa injured him ao much with hia inuacular Kngiish fiuta that he had died from the effects. And thn the wifo, preparing to atand her trial for muniilaugliiur Hoouer . than confe: a her infidelity, hud takn tho crime, or the acci dent, or whatever you may like, to call it, on her own shouldoi a, hut for no lovo of tho abaont husband, who wo-'", probably re fuse over to aee her again. So far Minn, de Vigny's intelligence, which had not ripened in an entirely moral atmosphere, hud led hor pretty near tho truth, But her conclusion wm like a broken watch, us el can becuiiHo tho maiuapring wah miaaing. For ahe did not atop there. Hho completed tho story for hornolf. Lord Francis had flown, nut for hia wife's aako nor Ins own but in order not to drag her (whom ho loved) into tho miaerablo tangle of his married lifo. Ho would remain away until everything wau concluded, and tluui ho would seek her out again, and they wou'd be happy. Such a torrihlo scandal would surely be followed by a divoroe,aftor which he would bo freu to put her in tho placo left vaeunt by his wifu't Infidelity. But the trial ot Lady Francis Onalow took place, aa han botn ndatcd, and yet no in- lelligouco caino of her miaaing husband. When alio bud left Harrogato, and tho child had been taken away, Mine, de Vigny becuinn tired of being left behind. Sho returned to London, and wont down to Haolomore, thinking Lord Francis might ho lying norda in lus country home. But all alio found thoro u'an a large board stating that Tlio Orango was to ho lot, furnished, and that applications to ho addressed to Mr. Abra ham Howott, of Chancery Lane. / Quick na thought idle rcaolvod (if pofliiildeito tako it. Hho had no lovo for the countrV nor for a secluded Hfo, but to aottlo in >iifl very home muflt be, sho argued, tho beatWay hy which to como in contact with L6rd\Fran cis Onalow. Evim if ho did not comeVhere ho muat, sooner or lator, learn the name of his tenant, and he drawn into tbo cirolV of her love again. Sho found no difficulty in tho mattor. Hor roforencos were the boat of all and Mr. Howctt had boon instructed to lot The Grango aa aoon aa ponuiblo. Her foreign accent norm;whit fiuzztod him, and ho had mentioned hor to us client (an Onalow told Lord Castloton) aimply aa a foreighor. .....-i( Perhaps idie had tried to incronne' h'ia myatiffoationa by apenking an incohuroutly and writing aa i'legiblyaH alio could. Any way, alio aticured Tho.Grango, and took poa- Boatdon of it. , How much she reveled at firat In the thought that she wnu living in tho house which Lord Francis called IiIb own,' using the same furniture, and walking in tho aamo garden that ho had been used to walk in. Bofore long she hoped that ho would bo thoro, too, ' Watching tho moon riao aboye tho summits of th fine old treoa, She. anurchod tho Iioubo for some memento of blm a coat-off glove, a faded flower, But the bouau- m'-dd's broom had been to buay, and the Grange was inviolate from attic to base ment. Only in a llttlo drawor in bin look- gla stand alio had found a few of Ida viniting cards, evidently forgotten or over looked, . v "Lord Frannia OiihIow, Tim (JrunRo, Chiddingford," and on tho other uidn, "Thn Coiinthtaini, Pall Mall." How HWeitt tho worda looked! The on rapt umd wntnan rained thain tu-h**r-lipu an she thought, that <imc day uho might own a oiu'rexponding piui.port. to Kocioty.

Lucille do Vigny was too boatitiful, *3 "flllH HAD FOUND A IT.W (iir HIM VIHITIKO CAUnH.'* nnd, fortunately, too notorious, to conooal heraelt Hiniceaafully. Sho had had many admirora hcnidea Lord li'iunuia (Jnslow, and boforVinho lind'bcen many weeks at Chid* dingfnrd they emutnoticed to run down from London to call upon her And alio wan pleased to ho'a them. Sho had -not been lined to tho company of her own thoughts. They proved ugly company to hor on occanionu hIic had not always tho courage to look hack and alio earnestly hopod to make for bersolf a fuluio an whioh the past ahoiild have no power to obtrude. So, ponding tho return of Lord Franoia uho was glad to welcome the, varioua friends who considered it worth their while to travel down to see her. Among them wan Colonel Uriah II. Clnttcrmick,- a Senator from the Uhitod States, who had niailo a largo fortune over railway iron, and waH trying to spend it in th old country. He had been an ardent admirer of Mine, de Vigny from the first day of their acquain tance, and would have proponed to her long before, had not Lord Francis Onalow'a cluiniH stood iu tho way. Hut now the colonel thought he hhw his opportunity. Tho first evuuing ho dinud with Lucille, and she took him after dinner in the garden, hiu heart overflowed, and he wan able to contain himself no longer, "Mm. dur Vin-yay," he commenced, "Loo-uill there in no man in tho United States that can boast of a biggor pile than your obedient servant. I am not n lord, ma'am; I- would disdain to he one. Neither am I, perhaps, an A poller, but, in point of dollars, Mm. dor Vin-yay,. you will not find my auporior, and they and I are at your service, to-dny, and for ever, if you will only aay the word." Mme. de Vicny looked at him with sur prise, mingled with a degreo nf contempt. She was a magnificent woman, towering several inches above the New York Senator with a finely-molded figure, largo dark eyoii, chiaeTod teaturei, ana a voluptuous mouth. Sho looked like a Juno regarding a human rat. -Colonel Cluttorbuck," she replied, "you astonish mo. Surely I liavo nuvcr encouraged you to addremt mo in nuch an extraordinary manner. I have not the slightest intention of marrying again, and I must beg you never to refer to the sub ject." "Very well, Mrn. der Vin-yay," replied tho discomfited wuitor, "say no more about it. I thought you might h.ive lilied tho pile, ma'am, if you didn't ttdmip_thp_nun; not it won't go hogging. Mrs, dor Vin-yny, you may hot your bottom dollar upon that." "I do not wih to bet anything. Colonel Clutter back," said Lucille grandly, "nor should I take money into consideration on a question of marriage. But I "am quite content with ">v lifo aa it is, and have no doaire to alur. it." "Ah! You're waiting for a title, Mrs, dor Vin-yay," replied tbo Senator, "that's where it ia. You'll never tell mo that a fine woman liko yourself means to remain* single tor tho rest o| your lifo. But you're gone on these Knglitili aristocrats, liko the gala in my country, mid nothing will sutiufy you hut to bo a duchcua or a counleio." "Colonel Clutterbuck, your romarka are positively offensive, and I must entreat you to turn your conversation to something elao. I thank you for your offui;, but I can never accopt it, Come indoors and lot mo give you n song. I had a parcel of new onen down from London last week." She drew her lace wrap about hor ua alio apoko, and turned to reenter the houae. Her hand- sumo faco looked proud and cold under the moonlight, but her heart win throbbing warmly against Lord Fraucia Oualow'.i cird, which hho carriod in hor bosom. She was not really faithful or affectionate, hue eh* had set her mind upon capturing and holding this man (aa a woman sometimes iota her mind upon a spaniel or a bonnot), and would not rest until she bad achieved her purpose. In liko man nor tho Ainorican Senator had sot his mind upon her, hut ho would not break his hoart over her refuual. Ho had thought she would mako a splendid picture at tho head of hia New.York table, and an enviable wife to present to bis friondn, but if ahe couldn't accept his pile of dollars, ho concluded that aomo other lady would. So thuy par tod on their uaual to rum, and Lucillo even nuked him to repeat bin viait on tho first opportunity. Tho next morning, whan her maid brought hor lottera into her room with hor coffee, sho was struck hy the appearance among them of a pale buff letter, stamped on tho top "On If. M. Service," and on tho hot. torn, "Dead Letter Oflico." "What is that. Rose ?" sho cried. "1 do not know, madamo, but it wno loft here with tlio other letters, ao I thought I had better bring it to you," Lucillo had by this time aoized tho enve lope and road tho superscription: "Frank Uotfgic, Ksq., Tho Grango, Ohid- dingford, HaaTemero." "How Btrange,1' aha laughed. "Who is Mr. Frank Doggie, and why do thoy send his letters buret "Slull 1 voUiru it to the postman, madnnie?" . "No! It would be uNaloaa. I will koop it a little whilo.
