Hia eyes, as he said this' wandered to tho end of the table where Kate eat, aud they never been known to sacrifice hor own convenience tor the welfare of any living person. 1 But the evil spirits that always strive to make humanity their prey have f nil peases- lingered so long and eo lovingly., upon her 8]0U of lh(, [,aron>a y0unge3t child to-night, that; he did not observe the flash of anger -*augl as she wanders away from her father's tha- that gleamed out of Grace -Lilbtirne'a blue eyes.nor did he see the savage svay in which she bit her lip with mortification. , An attentive servant looking after his vvanta soon reoalled him to the desirability '\" of doing justice to the Christmas cheer, aud ,hc found very little time to notice jealously how attentive Sir Algernon Colebrook svas \" io the fair hostess. 1 Even a Christmas dinner must have an end, though the viands be as plentiful an-i the delicacies as numerous as ou tliia occasion,and soon after the dessert bad made its appearance thn ladies retired to tho spacious lirnwiug-i oom, where the gentlemen soouojoined them. ,\" ( \"We aio going to dance in the great hall, Kate'explained to Lord Ro1.aud,Ayre,whcn for the fust timo that evening he managed to secure a seat hy her aide ; \" it makes a splendid ballroom when tho tables Mid rugs are cieurod away.\" \"Yes, bo 1 should think. . You have not forgotten your promise to give me the first . dance?\" ' \"Oh,no!\" and she blushed with conscious gratification as,\" detpile her Bister's remarks, she felt sure that Lord Rolnnd loved \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdher. i , , \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Coffee was brought in,and there was conversation and music, broken into at length by the host- suggesting that they should go 'to the eei-vents' hall to see the Christmas tree'that had been provided for the servants and tenants, or more particularly for tho children of the latter. Lord Roland gave Kate' his arm as the ; large party, made'its wuy to the servants' hall. - . ' \"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd* guests through this most ancient part of tha castie.a plot,as diabolical in its wickedness as\"it is cruel in its conception, frames itself in her mind, and she prepares for its execution. < , , - ,. While the rich feastud, tlie poor, wore , never forgotten at Silverton Castle, and if the baron and his daughters made merry, - his humblest retainers found a warm welcome iu the kitchen. On the present occasion the huge Christ- man tree was all alight with colored lamps, while gifts had been provided for the servants and their guests, and three rustio musicians with their pipes and fiddles .were ready to play for the 'impationt dancers. \" We will look in later ou,\" said Lord Lilburno, with a kindly nod, and then ho and his friends trooped'back to the hall, svhieh by this time, had undergone a great transformation. ( ' ,,. ' ' Holly and mistletoe had been previously arranged among the old suits of armor, and mir.gioduwith the trophies of tho chase; but now, since' dinner, brilliant flowers had beon placed about tho rhall iu gren-t profusion, gis-ing color to the scene' as woll as fragrance to the air. ' ,, A band had b\"oen engaged tor tho occasion, and soon tlio noble host led oil the ball with the moat distinguished lady present, while Lord Roland and Kate immediately followed. , Grace, svho was likewise dancing, switched her Eister jealously, and she saw how, nfter a time, Lord Roland led Kate into a recess half-screened,-from the rest of the hall by flowers, and phe scarcely needed to listen to them to learn what the ardcut lover was saying. To her secret satisfaction, howover, the lovers were interrupted before half-a-dozen words could pass between then), for Sir Algernon Colebrook, who had engaged Kate for the second dance, now enme up to chiini her hancl. \\\\]hon her sister had taken the arm of the baronet, Grace joined Lord Rolaud,and began to talk with him. <-, But he did not ask her tn dance, and he paid very little heed to what she said, for his eyes were following Kate and her partner through the mazes of-the tlance. * \"Kate and Sir Algernon seem very weli matched, don't they'\"observed Grace, following the direction of his gaze. \"They danue veiy jvell together, is what you mean,\" he replied cur CHAPTER 11. LOVE ASD TREACHERY. Lord Roland has been growing desperate during the last half hour. lie has net danced since Kate left him, nnd he has not spoken to anybody since he hr.s managed to get away from Grace ; but he has watched Kate anxiously, and more than once he has gone some little distance along or across the room to spesk' to her, but has failed to reach her side before she has been carried off lor another dance. Sir Algernon Colebrook seemod to bo as mucn on tlie watch to attach himself to tho fair heiress as he was himself, and Lord Roland felt that he had no time to lose in securing tho prize that so many wero evidently anxious to make their own. Fortune favored him at, last. Kite, with her last partner, paused near tlie door just as tho music ceased, \"Will you oblige me by asking Miss Wiihi'icr to talie some refreshment,''\" said Kate to her partner, while she indicated a very grim old maid sitting alone on , an ottomsu. , The young man obeyed, though he did not like the task assigned him., and Lord Roland seized the opportunity to offer Kate his arm as he said : , , \" Let us find a cooler'room than this : you must be quite tired'of dancing.\" \"Oh, no, I am not. tired,\" she replied lightly, \" though we will look for a cooler piaee if you liko ; but how the wind is hosvling, and I really believe it is beginning to snow.\" - , \" It is,\" ho replied, pressing her arm to his side as he felt she gave a little, shiver ; \"but,the snow is falling slowly; and.I dare say it will last a,long time1; fortunately you have not to go out to-night.\" \" Kor you eitlier,\" she replied, with a smile. \" 1 heard papa say that you would remain with us over to-morrow.\" \"He made no reply but made the way to a timail drawing-room winch the siacera used more than any one in the house. It vv as ' deserted now, though a bright fire burned in the grate, and Lord Roland led the timid girl into the apartment, then paused, and looking earnestly into her deep dark eyes, exclaimed passionately : \" Kate, I love you. ' Look at me, dearest ; tell me, will you be my wife?\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd> .She did look at him. The Jove written on his face- was too earnest, too overpowering to be mistaken, or to admit of any coquetry en her pai t ; aud she now answered as simply 'as any village nmi'den would have done. ,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"Vis, Roland.\" ' , ;* There svas a bough of mistletoe hanging above them, but they .did not need this as an excuse for the long ki=s of love in svhicli their lips first met,~and Roland had led Kate close to the fire-place and they were both watching ihe logs burning brightly upon the hearth,and he svas telling her how dearly, aud truly he loved her while his arm clasped her graceful form,. and her head rested trustfully upon his shoulder, wlien ihe dcor of tho room was soflly and noiselessly opened. So absorbed were'they in their own happiness that they did not observe it, neither did thoy see the child-like countenance of Grace, with a mu'rdoious light in her blue eyea, iooking at them. , ' She went away, however, without making her presence known. But as she left the room in which her sister and Lord Roland were talking of their love, her heart seemed to take firo, and her brainbecati.e active lor evil us that of a fiend. All the pent-Up malignity In her nature now averted ilieif, ami she wits ready to commit any crime so that -.he-might gratify her hatred and win for herself some of the great advantages now possessed by her rival. i Love mi?pl\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdceo, and -atfeclion slighted, are pome limes pleaded as excuses for needs ot passionate re--\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnge ; but, though, the plot* is a bid one, I luce Lilburne could not shield hcrse'i , behind even that flimsy pretext. It is true *.r.a*.=he coveted the admiration aud devotion of Lord Rolaiid Ay re: but ( ih.ij wy rather because \"it was given io 'Kite ed him from the castle, Kate might perhaps yield to the appeal aud go out to,meet him and then under cover of the dark night the rest would be easy. But would Kate keep the appointment, or would she not be more likely to haDd the uote to her father aud ask him to deal with the impudent writer ? Here was the difficulty. Giace knew that she would herself be an easy dupe for such a plot, but Kate was so uncomfortably straigntforward, and had a high appreciation of what was due to her own honor and dignity, that she might regard the most impassioned appeal as un insult, and resent itaceordiugly. - And'then, again, Prank would not dare aik Kate to meet him, and she would know this, and for this reason, if for no other, would not go to the rendezvous. ~ \" \" Next to Kate I detest him,\" Grace muttered vindictively ; \" but there has been no love lost between ua all our lives ; he was the terror of my childhood, and yet for all that I played him someclever tricks; and often got him punished when he would otherwise havo escaped. Ah, that reminds me ; in this very tower is the secret well that he threatened co throw me into ; it will answer my present purpose if I can get Kate to its edge. That will bo a grand revenge indeed upon both of them.\" She laughed a low, wicked laugh, nnd the wild wind, as though in sympathy, shrieked among the branches of the leafless trees that partially. surrounded tho mansion. But Grace heeded not the sound; she had ziven up her whole miud to work evil, and the means by which to accomplish her foul purpose were near at hand. . ,\" I must and will get her here thiB very night,\" sbe muttered, \"but how is it to be done? Ah, I have it. I'll propose a game of hide and seek, and it shall go hard with trie if I don't make Kate hide iu a place .where Lord Roland will never find her. We'll have a modern edition of'The Mistletoe Bouiib.'\", '\" , ' Then she began to sing in a mocking tone: \"And younf-Lovel cried : * - ' - 'Oh where dest thou htdo!' - ' I am lonesome without Uteo, '\" My own dear bride.'\" ' She finished the song, the singing of which seemed, to give her much satisfaction,, though she had not a single listener, and when all her arrangements were made, she went back to the great hall ; but it was some time afterward beforo the happy lovers rejoined the guests.' '' \" \"I wish you would try to\"\"piit a little spirit into tho people, Kate,\" said Lord Lilburne to his eldest daughter, as she and Lord Roland re-entered the hall; \"everything seems to flag, aud the musicians are half asleep.\" ' .. , \"Poor fellows,they are tired and hungry,' too, 1 have no doubt.\" here interposed Grace with more consideration than she had ever shown before. Let them go into the kitchen, papa,, and join in the fun the servants are having\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwe can amuso ourselves. ' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"But how ?\" asked Lord Lilburno dubi- ouoly. \"We'll have some Christmas games. We will get up some chtirade, or have forfeits,,, or play a game at hide-and-seek. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd That would be the best fun, wouldn't il, ?\" she added, appealing to Lord-Roland She had left the floor of the turret- chamber open, though she had carefully closed the door\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbub now, when the murderous work ' was done, she dare not bring a light, neither dared she leave the place uncovered, and she felt cautiously about for the spring,, and at some p-jril to herself, since she was working in the dark, she managed to find it, and the floor slowly moved back into ita place with a grating noise, closing with a sharp snap. -Terrified lest she should be defeated, and confident that, the search had- already begun,Grace almost flew to the room above, and there stood, pale and well-nigh spellbound, with horror at the foul deed which she had so deliberately planned and so completely accomplished. But she knew she must not give' way to her fears in the presence of other people, .or she would soon betray herself, for an awful time of anxiety and dread svas still before her. It wiib with an intense feeling of relief that she heard the door open anil saw a man's form in the doorway,for the passages, as I have saitl, were all dimly* lighted, though small out-of-the-svay rooms, like t'tifiso in which the turret chambers were, were left iu darkness. '' \"Oh ! I am glad you have found me,\" she said,coming forward ; ''I seom to, have been hero such a long time,and f am so cold.\" ' \"It was very, foolish to hide in such a part of the castle as this.'Vtiii Lord Roland, severely. Where is Kate V \"1 don t.kuow where Kate ia,\" was the petulant retort ; \"I suppose she was wiser than 1 and hid where she could be more easily found ; but I shall go back to the others. 1 dare say Kate has already been found.\" , \" ' i \"Probably she has,\" returned tho anxious lover. , \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' Then he walked back to the great hall by the &ide of Grace, but as they pissed uudor a light he exclaimed in surprise, as he looked at his companion : _ [ ' ,\" What have you dono to your dress? The front of it is almost black., Grace uttered'a little cry of alarm ;,then recovering herself, she said : ,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"How cttroless of mel I forgot the walls would bo thick with dust, and I pulled myself up to the window to see if it was snowing. Excuse m\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd a few minutes, 1 dare aay my maid can wipe it'off.\" So saying she hurriedly left him, but, no maid could wipe off the mark'from her white satin any more than tho stain of the crime she had committed could be wiped from her false heart. She covered over the spots on hor dress with some flowers and lace, which she hastily pinued in their places ; then she washed her hands, and wont back to'join her father's guests.

It is assumed that the young Emperor ot China will observe the traditions'of his race jn case lie is overcome by so direful a catastrophe as the capture of his capital, and hang himself among the tombs of his ancestors, and should that occur thero is no cue to succeed him. He has no children, and the most sacred of u,o traditions tnat concern tho royal family requires that the emperor ahull havo ancestor.- whom he may worship, and from whose spirit ho may reccivo inspiration and guidance in the administration of the government-., In China if an ambitious politician does not advance as rapidlyas he desires, he attributes his failure to the diasatisfaclionof hia ancestors with the situ selected for their burial, and removes their bones with great ceremony to another which he considers more favorable. If he docs not thou succeed he moves them elsewhere, and ke*>ps on doing so until he enjoys better luck or gives up in despair. ' The ignorance of the Emperor of, China:, concerning the disasters that havo overtaken his armies and his fleets is believed lo be a decided advantage to the Japanese, for no one daro tell him tho whole truth concerning'their continual und frequent defeats. Nobody, not even the prime minister, can approach the emperor except upon his knee3; nor can anyone talk to him except while lying prostrate, \"'with his'forehead pressed against the rugs upon the floor of the platform that surrounds the throne. ,Such a posture is not conducive to fluent communication, aud as it. is a part of the roligion of tho Chinese to consider tho emperor omnipotent anrl invincible.it requires more than \"human courage to inform him to the contrary. It is custom also for the emperor to hold those ,who approach him responsible-for the tidings they bring, and reward or punish them accordingly.

Even when farmers are similarly circumstancod their,tastes and judgments, svill differ widely aa to the kindaand breeds of stock that it is best to keep. It is certain that there would be nothing haphazard in introducing or keeping stook on the farm. Every item should be carefully considered. Reducing the coat of production muat be carefully 'considered \"and every advantage taken to do this so far as possible without lowering the quality. Some farmers can feed one class of stock more economically than others, aud while in a majority of cases it ia boat to keep a variety of stock, thoy should bo those thnt can,bo made most, profitable. One farmer may be so situated that he can raise and market beef much more economically than he can milk or butter. He of course wants a good beef enimal, rather than, one that converts her food into milk. One mini's farm may be best adapted to the growing of grain und ho will find it most profitable to make hogs his principal stock, only keeping -.tifneient cattle and sheep to consume the roughness to a good advantage. Another farm will grow grass at a leea coat and to a bettor advantage than anything else''and its owner must depend upon cattle a'nd sheep to consume und convert it into a good marketable 'product. Adaptability and markets, aa well as'the inclination und taste of the owner, Bhould nlways be considered in determining the kind- of stook to be kept; the particular need should be largely determined by the purpose, but in inunv eases the particular breed is rather a matter of choioe, as any 'good breed can be made profitable if given good treatment, ,r Tho farmer that is keeping a vluss of stock to which his farm in not adapted is working against 'odda. Everything must be done to the beat advantage so tho largest' profit can be realized. The margin of profit in farming now is too small to admit of working under such disadvantage.
