Titis happened ah >ut a fortnight before Cliri*tmHR, amt at a time when Miss SorntcbeH’H duties al the Park were in a considerable decree suspended. Sin would not have been wanted there at all, under ordinary circumstances, for the yon ng Pipore, who bad a frank detestation of ail kind* of learning, claimed a holiday at this sorson, and had their claim allowed. But Mr*. Piper was ill, BO ill as to bo con­ fined to her own rooms; and in this junc­ ture sho found’ IsabeUa’s domestic talents of use to her. and, without any extra re­ muneration, contrived to occupy a good deal of Isabella's tiiuc.A little white ago, when sho was living in her fool's paradise, believing lieraelf fovod by Cyril Cnlvorbonso, Ibis encroach­ment upon her leisure would have been aggravating in the extreme to Bella Scrnlchdl. But just now it was rather a relief than otherwise, for it gavo Iter an ex- CURO for neglecting her cottagers. She went among them still now and then, and was sweet and sympathetic as of old—read­ ing St. John's Gospd to tho eonanroptiv* dressmaker, or carrying a little bunch of wintry flowers to the wheel weight's bed­ ridden daughter, a patient victim to spinal complaint—but sho was glad, »o far as it possible, to avoid meeting Crril. Tbero was too keen a shatae, too fierce an atjooy, iu the tboud't of her dehtriou ; for in thia fair-faced, Dresden shepherdess lit- tlo beauty tbero existed ft capacity f-r oas- sionate feeling unsuspected by her kiudrod ■ or friends. From love to vindictiveness I was only a stop in this intenso nature. She liatod Airs. Dulcimer for having entrapped her ; sho hated herself for baring fallen so easily into so- petty a ennro. Sho hnted Cyril for not loving her; sho bated him Ktill more for loving somebody elso ; and she bated Beatrix H ireflri.l roost of all for being the object of bis love. ‘ Has she not enough of tiro "nod tliingn of this lifo without taking him from me ?' she thought, savagely, forgetting that, HR Cyril had never belonged to her. Beatrix conld hardly bo found cnilty of rnbh«ry. ' He would have earod far me if he had never seen her." argued Bello. ‘ She is handsomer than I am—grand and noble- looking, white I ain small and moan? Vanity and seir-crieoni were alike crashed by Cyril's indifference. She bad been vain r.f her pink and white prottiness. hitherto.

H A L L , HARDWARE NEIfl AailEf<TIS£H£UT& FRUIT GARDEN. Whatever preliminary work remains should bo JUposud of, such us delnytd pruning cf grapes, currants, elo.; tho mak­ ing and repair of trellises and supports for grapti, raspberries, etc., nod other matters liitjled at last month. Planting should be Jono M early as the soil is in good working order, that the plants may get well established before hot weather. Manure is to be given librrally, and nothing is better than well decomposed stable manure. The whole soil of tlio garden should ta well enriched, if fine" fruit is expected. Ashes are useful here, and a dressing of lime, once in four or five years will often bo of great help. In men­ tioning varieties wo name 3 few of the most reliable’ referring to tho catalogue fur the others. Dwarf Trees.—See remarks on those lost m>mb. Set Ire m 6 to 10 feet apart, accord­ ing to tho t-bopo iu which they are io bo trained. The union ol iLrt stock aud Irce should be just below the aurfuCu, Blackberries sail Raspberries start vcrly, | oiad need early planking. Nurserymen fur­ nish a cano with them, but this is of uo use Eaveyis a handle. No fruit is to be ex­ pected the first year. The canes that grow, this year will bear fruit the next. The “ Kittatiny" is the best general blackberry. Tho "Brandy wiue" and "iSighUnd Hardy” are among the leading raspberries, and Miama or Mami2QUr Cluster,, tho best Elack-cap. Gooseberries.—Tho Downing is the best native. Currants.—Versaillee and White Grape are tho best red aud white. Black Naples for black. Both Gooseberries and currants mey bo trained IO a single stem like a small tree, but the presence of tho borers make it risky. Tho Letter form is an open Lush with 4 or 5 stems. Both are eensativo to hot weather, aud the ground should be mulched. Strawberries.—When cold weather i* over, part tho straw or hsy covering the plants lo expose them freely. Grapes.—Everyone who cultivate grapes largely, will bnvo " Fuller's Grapo Cullur- ist," or oilier work, as a guide. Tho neg­ lect of formers to grow grapes would bo as­ tonishing, did wo-not consider the great amount of mystery that Las boon thrown around the training, pruning aud culture generally by some writers. Thore is no reason why every furmcr's family should not bare all the grapes they can eat. There is scarcely a town or village lot so small but at Unfit oue vino may ba grown. A vine can Le carried anywhere, a)most, so tractable is it. If one has a vineyard, no will follow some regular method. But grapos can be bad if there is a fence, a shed, Iha side of a barn, or that of a house,, to train them upon. Fruit may bo Lad within a foot of tho ground, or 15 or 20 feet from it. We will talk about training anolber month. To Plank a Vine or Vines.—Small vines, which will soon become large, may be had by mail. A vino one, or at most two, years old is bolter than older. You do not Waut several feet of old cano or vine. You want a gaud root, with a piece of vino long enough to have about throe buds. AU the rest isusriess. Having a rooted plant like this, consider whore you aro to run your vino ; give it a good large Ude, aud if the suil is bad, pul in some good, fresh earth. Do not put the roots in a deep bole, bul spread evenly, and cover with B or 8 inches of earth. If but one can be set, be- ■era aud plant that one. If room fur more, and they may bo put every eight or teu feet, set more. Before planting tho vines, put a stake—a pole—C or 8 feet or luoro high, in the place, tu avoid injuring the roots by driving it. * ------------ When the buds start, Ibero will bo 3 or more; rub off all but ‘2 of tho strongest, >aud wbeu the shout from either of these i* lung enough lo tie to tho slake, tie up the strongest uf the two wilb a soft string, and break away the other. To start right, you must grow but one sho it the first year, and ko< p that tied up as it grows. What Vmijies to Plant.—It is probably safe to say that the " Concord " will suit Iba greatest number of localities.— •* Brighton ” aud " Cieveling ” are among Ibe earliest. ” Delaware " is 3 favorite for rich soils. •’ Barry " and “ Wilder ” are, with us, excellent. So much depends upon locality. Have a plenty of the Cou- ! cord, aud find out what other varieties have dune well in the vicinily. ubly Lumcr getting ruii! No,not uue of you.
