This is a result that has substantially been proved a thousand times. Now, I will compute tho Joss to n fanner on 10 cows, which aro kft through tho winter on tho unprotected system ; and barns afford but slight wannth to stock over tho open air, being boarded up ver tically, with cracks between tho boards from a half inch to an inch wide, and nil such barns como under tho losing system of wintering stock. It would be fail* to es timate hay to be worth *15 a ton, ns au agerago value throughout the country. Ten cows not well protected, will require 60 pounds a day more than when kept in a warm stable, for at least four months, or 112 days, worth 87 j cts. daily, or duiing 112 days, *42. Probably tho loss on each animal no matter bow fed, would bo nt least $5, consequently farmers who study tlicir own int^rt sts build warm barns, tut so as to be well ventilated in mild weather and thus save enough in fodder in n few years to pay the cost of them. But much cln bo done with old buildings to make them warm ; battens can bo nailed over the cracks, tho roofs can bo repaired, doors made to shut close, nnd thus tho comfort of domestic animals can be enhanced, to say nothing of the saving in fodder.

Mabel Westbrook found Angelo S-iImmwaiting for hor in tho great hall of tip "Mastodon," with his wan face turned to ward the stairs d >wa which he knew a!nmust descend to him. When lip saw her approaching, he rose and bowed with great politeness, almost with grave revorouco.‘ I am glad you Have come,’ he said; ‘I.thought yon would not, perhaps.'‘ Is there any reason why I should be afraid to meet you, Angelo ? ‘ There may,bo a reason why yon shouldnot care to meet mo now.' ho said ; ‘but I will explain as soon us I can. It is not worth while misunderstanding each othfrany longer, is it ?’ •A complete understanding may tend /to the peace of mind of both of us,’ Mabel replied. ‘I have thought sj more onco.’ ‘ Impossible.’‘ I hope it will, Angelo—I pray it sai 1 Mabel, earnestlyHo looked away from hor. Tho ------ wire ia his eyas, and his lips were quiver ing like a Child's, for ho was very weak.Was ho to bo treated its a child tod ? Ma' el | thought in soino respects that it might bo | tho wiser policy. Sho put her hand uponhis arm, aud said. j ‘ Take mo. Angelo, whero wo can speak <straightforwardly and fearlessly to ono (another.’ • Very well.'Tiny went out of tho hotel, togitlior, and toward the Spa, until Angelo stopped and shuddered. ]‘ Not in thoss hateful gardens,’ ho said. ‘ Shall we cross the bridge and got ou the .cliff yonder, or shall wo dcscoad to tho ! valley ?’ (‘ Thera are loss people down there, per- . hans,’ she said, moodily; Tiny descended to l.io valley, ftnd wont silently f >r a while along tho winding path' ,there. Tho IJams'uolo Valley lias never been a favorite resort of tho Scarborough visitors, and there were onlj n few nurso-luvids and children strolling through the lower grounds. When they wore seated on ‘a rustic garden seat, shut in almost by the i trees, Angelo startled his companion witha strange and stildon laugh. ' ‘ They who pass here will take us for lovers, Mabel.' ho exclaimed. ‘What a hid- 'eons uiistako! Aud yet,' ho added, very 1 sadly now. ‘wo were lovers only yesterday 1 —before he came.’• Before who camo ?' ‘ You know,’ he answered. ‘It is un worthy of you to aff. cl iguorauce ; it is ua-fair to me.’ ‘ Are y >n speaking of Mr. Halfday ?’ ask ed Mabel, after this reproof.‘Yes; of tin mm whom I shall never f irgivc, who t ikes his place as my deadlyfoe.’ ‘ Yon will not think so when I have told yon all,’ s.iid Mabel.‘ I am his bitterest enemy,' said Angelo, with a violent excitement exhibiting itself. ‘I warn him to beware of mj.' •‘ Whvt Las ho done ?’‘ ToldS’on that ho loved yon,' answered Angelo, boldly, ‘put liis arm round you—my God ! kissed you. I saw and heard every thing; I watch nd as a man cruelly deceived by woman to whom ha hue givenhis wholo heart has a right to watch. And to .think that you— Oh, Mabel, Mabel,whv did you act like this to mo ?’ Hi put his hands before his face and cried bitterly. It was a childish grief, but it was terrible for M ibol to witness, and be^yond her power to subdue. Listening to his deep heavy sobs, it was difficult for herto believe that she ■wan wholly blameless. Had she had time to consider, had not Brian's loro been so suddenly confessed,sbs might have a«kad for Angola's aohfl- denca and trust before instead of afterward. But it was too late, and hero was the result, •Ang*lo,' she said, very kindly ftnd earnestly,"do not say I havecrnally deceived you, or I ahull never know a happy moment again.’‘You have never cared for me,' he re plied. ‘You hava suffered yourself to be en gaged to me; since that engsgemaat, youbav.i allowed that man to lore yon,’ ‘ Angelo,’ said Mabel, laying her handon his and drawing it away from hi* face, will you do me justice, and listen patiently to air I have t> say?’‘ Ye»,‘ be replied. ’»W O't t' ’ A . ‘ When you wxra lying lyqry.- ill someweeks ago, When’ytod hid boftn rash and desperate, and your friend* were despairing of your life, they came to me for my assistance,' Mabel began. ‘They said—let u* both think now iRlr wrong and foolish it Win of thsm*-that a few words of mine,|'ie uttorftteft of a prdtalso which I mightAonsiderJbuyftelf jmdfiwd in breaking when you were well and strong again, would give you the best chance of health.

She bad called to him once as ho broke awayfrorrt her, but he had marched onward without any heed to her appoal. She had wished to soften his heart toward herlover, and she had faith in her own powers to do it, until ho had passed away withthose strange darkling looks. It wai'sa unlike poor Angelo to boar malice, or to fool oppressed by a sense of wr ing, thatshe trusted to the natural amiability of his character aven yet, althaugh tlnre were doubts besetting her not easily disp?ll»d.Angelo had changed of late days; be bad been irritable or dispirited since his recov ery from delirium, and only her presencehad had power to soothe him. II > w would he act after this shock s ic wondered—woul I he let hor be his friend still, just as ifnothing had happened! or they had never talked of being engaged to each other ? it ho would accept the position calmly, allmight yot be well, but the doubts gathered strength ia Mabel’s mind as she went up the pith in the cliff toward tho higherground. She was not happy, ^though Brian Halfday hadl told her that h> loved her; she was sure that she was growingmore unhappy every hour of her life, The consciousness of having made two people miserable that afternoon weighedupon the spirits of a girl naturally sensitive; and that it hod all been done for tha bast wu scarcely the satisfaction which she hadtrusted it might be. She had almost quar relled with Isabel Disney, who hod been kind to her; she had crushed out tha hop« sof Angelo Salmon; and lifo would have been dull to her indeed if the thoughts oftha future with Brian had not been there to kqep her strong. Still she was dull; and when th® dinner hour at the hotel came,and Brian was not present as he hod prom ised, a sense of deeper depression stole uponher, and the first assnrance to her own mind that all was not well, and that a great Iron- ■ ble was to date from that day, came aa ifby inspiration. Looking back at that mel ancholy feast, aha believed it waa an inspir ation, and that a voice M warning waswhisparad in her ears aa she took her place with the guests and marvelled m to the absence of one who should have hastened to her side now. She had believed that he would, and that before the nighf was outthe Salmon's and Mr*. Disney would have been pleased to eongratulate her on her engagement ; bnt now she w m sure that something new aud strange had arisen to account for Brian Halfday’s absence. It waa not a pleasant thought to cross her, bal It grejr in strength with wonderful rapidity. Scmet’ung last happened to Brian she w m certain, although she tried vainly to smile at her own fears, and kepther great gray eyea directed toward the en trance doors through which ho would coms, presently if all were well. Painful and ever- ’ to-be remembered dinner this—the rows ofgueets laughing and talking on either side of her, and aha m ocanfou of apnroaehing trouble as though the decree had been than-dared in her eon, ' 1I« will never rcinra.

I am sorry,' saidMr. Salmon, ‘because these assemblies have amumd and distracted him considerably ; don't you think so J" ‘ No—yes—I don’t know,' said Mabel, wearily.' I hope nothing is the matter—especially between you and Angtld ?' asked GregorySalmon anxiously; ‘ you—you must not think of undeceiving him yet awhile, Miss Westbrook. I—I would rather you married him than that—I would, indeed.' ‘Please don’t talk to me now,' Mabel saidat last. • I am tired and unwell.' ‘ You are certainly very white,’ answered Gregory; ‘ But is there not something totell ms about Angelo?’ ' Yes; after dinner.' ‘ I tin very sorry if— My dear younglady, I am sura you are going io faint. Let me advise you to Ret out of this hot room.'• Not yot,’ answered Mabel I would much rather remain. I want to wait here. Don't notice me or talk to me, please. Ishall bo better in a minute.' ' I hope Mr. Halfday has not been inter fering iu this matter,’ said Gregory Salmon,snappishly, and not at all disposed to leave Mabel to herself now that his curiosity had -been aroused. ‘ Why should you think that ?' uked MateL quickly.‘ Re is a man' that interferes iu moat things—and, by-the-way, I don’t see him at dinner to-night.'‘ No,’ said Mabel, with a heavy sigh ; ‘ he is mttjiere.’ ‘ But there's Angelo standing al tho door;autl, great Heaven 1 how ill he looks too I’ ‘ Oh I good gracious, my poor boy I’ exclaimed Mrs. Salmon at tho same moment. Mabel looked toward the door where An gelo was standing now. Ho was in evening dress; he had changed his morning attire, after his usual custom, and was lean ing against the pillar watching her attentively. As their oyes met he started and moved away into the central hall beyond, but not before the haggardnens and horrorOf his face had struck her as forcibly, os hisparents. Hera was. the result of the one mistake, and he was dunging and aging os if by a spell. Was it>tamarkable that she should think of Brian* again, and couple Angelo’s looks with him, for a mysteriousreason impossible to lathom ? Once more tho warning sank to her dullheart, as if tha vice had whispered to her again that Bri^E(Halfday was not coming back. She was not naturally superstitiousbut it seemed a attango truth to come to her that night—and like an awful prophecy on tho next, wheuuo sign of his return wasmade to her from thcjaikness io which he had disappeared. ‘vs | TO BE COXTlNbtaP.I CIRCULARS TVTOTE and Letter Circulars printed X A from <w New Scripts are raallr warki <rf art.Call ud m the gpoclmone.

There were several good stories says HieOmaha B’e, told at the cendaotor’a ban quet last evening, but one that created themost laughter was that which woe rslated by Conductor McElroy from Pennsylvania. Ho said that a conductor on an E tsiernrood was approached by a soedy-lojking individual who wanted to got a tree ride, os ho didn’t hare any money.“ Alright,” said tho conductor,'! go for ward into the smoking car and I’ll fix you all righ t.”Sion afterward tho conductor aopoired in the smoking car to collect fare from the paty©ngors. Ho took up fare from every-,body except tho dead-beat and another man who happened co bo tin Superintendent of the road.
