She married him 1.0 square the : . count, and then for $60 seemed .a divorce and .turned him out. It was the child, Bessieâ€"the little girl of his boyhoodâ€"who spoke with all her old simpleâ€"heartedness of manner, but the face which looked up at the young man was not the face of a child, for there was written on it all a, woman’s first tenderness and love, and the dark eyes were full of tears, and the parted lips quivered even after she ceased to 8 peak, and sat looking at him as fearlessly andas little nbashed as she had looked at him when she asked to be his wife. And how could he answer that question so innocently put? “You do like me a. little, don’t you, Everard ?” How, but to stoop and kiss the quivering lips which kissed him back again unhesitatingly, but when he sought to wind his arms around her, and hold her closely to him, she motioned him away and said: “No, Everard, you might kiss me cage, and 1might kiss you back, as we would d5 if either of us were dying, and it wasi our farewell to each other, as this is. I can never kiss you again. never, ' nor you me, nor say anything like what we heve been saying. Remember that, Everard. The might-have been is past and when we meet” as we sometimes may. it will be on the old ‘ footing, as guardian endward or brother and} .sister, if you like that better. And now listen,l while I finish telling you what my wishesj one with regard to the future.

She’s metty, with them eyes and long winkers, an’ she s kind of tetterin’ an’ coitg : but can’t cheat dis Chile. ’Tain’t the real stuff like your mother was.

But don‘t you worry‘ I’ll atan’ by you Course you can t live with her. Ill make you a fire an’ fetch vou some supper, an’ you 11 feel better in de mornin’ ,â€"see if you don’t. ” “Yes, Everard. I understand, or I think I do, and it would be foolish in me to pretend not to knowâ€"to believeâ€"I mean,” and the bright color began to mount to Rossie’s cheeks as she went on : “I mean, that I be- lieve that you do care for me someâ€"that it I were dead you would remember me longer shan anyone else. I guess you like me e flittle, don’t you, Everard ?" But Everard asked to be left alone, that he might think it out and decide what to do. He could not go tobed, and so he set the entire night before the fire in the room where his mother died. and where his father had denounced him so angrily, and where Rosa- mond had come to him and asked to be his wife. How vividly that last scene came up before him, and he could almost see the little girl standing there againjust as she stood that day, which seemed to him years and years ago. And ,but for that fatal misstep that little girl, grown up to sweet womanhood now, might have been his. Turn which way he would, there was no help, no hope ; and thefuture loomed up before him, dark and cheerless, with always this burden upon him, this bar to the happiness which might have been his had he only waited for it. Surely it his sin was great, his punishment was greater, and when at the last the gray morning looked in at the windows of his room. it found him white, and haggard, and worn, with no definite plan as to his course, except the firm resolve that whatever his life might be, it would be passed apart from Josephine. Rossie finished the sentence with a long- drswn breath, which sounded like a. sob, for this going away from all she loved best was as hard for her as for Everard, who felt sud- denly as if every my of sunlight had been stricken from his life. With Rossie gone the world would be dark indeed and for a. few moments he used all his powel‘i of eloquence to dissuade her from the pplan, but she was quite resolved. and he understood it at last, and answered her : For a nioment Rosamond was sil‘ then she said, in her usyal fraqk way “Then. if you will not live with her under any circumstances, this is my next best plan. Forrest House is her natural home, and she must stay here, whatever you may do.” “Here, Rossie ! Here with you ! Are you crazy f” Everard exclaimed, and Rosamond replied : “I am going away. I have thought it all over, and talked with Mrs. Markham. She has a friend in St. Louis who is wanting a governess for her three children, and she is going to write today and propose me, and if the lady consents. I-â€"~I am going away." “Perhaps you are right ; merwhen you aregone l” "Never, Rossie l” he exclaimed, vehement- ly. “never can I make her really my wife, feeling as I do. It would be a sin, and a. mockery, and I shall not do it. You say I loved her once; perhaps I did. though it seems to me now like a, child‘s fancy for some forbidden dainty, which, if obtained, oloys on the stomach and sickens one ever after. No, Bessie, you talk in vain when you ask me to live with Josephine as my wife, or even live with her at all. The same roof cannot shelter us both. Support her I shall, but live with her, never! and I am prepared for all the people will say against me. If I have your respect and sympathy, I can defy the world, though the future looks very dreary to me.” Hi; voice trembled as 115 spoké, and he leaned back in his chair as if he, too, were faint and sick, while Rossire‘ contiqugd: “Everard, she is your wife. You cannot undo that, except in one way, and that you must not take, for it is Wicked and wrong. You loved her once. You say you were quite as much to blame for the marriage as she, and you know you have been wrong in keeping it aeecret so long. She has just cause for complaint. and I want you to try to love her again. You must support; her, and it will be so much better. and gave so much talk and gossip if you live in the same house with herâ€"in this house, your rightful home.” sosmuonp’s DECISION. Rosamond had sent word to Everard that she would see him after breakfast, and he went to her at once. finding her sitting up just as she was the previous night, but much paler, and more worn-looking, as if she had not slept for months. But the smile with which she greeted him was as sweet and cor- dial as ever, and in the eyes which she fixed so steadily upon him he saw neither hatred nor disgust, but an expression of unutterable sorrow and pity for him, and for herself, toe, as well. Rossie was not one to conceal her feelings. She was too much a child, too frank and ingenuous for that, and there was a. great and bitter pain in her heart, which she could not hide. Everard had never said in words that he loved her, but she had ac- ceptedit as a fact, and when her dream was so rudely dispelled she could no more con- ceal her disappointment than she could hide the ravages of sickness so visible upon her face.

The new peat which has appeared to eat up the crops of the Long Island farmers was first discovexed on "Deer Range” farm at Islip. “Deer Range” is situated on the Great Soutph Bay and comprises over one thou‘sand acres. Adjoining it are the farms of George L. Loril- lard, William H. Vande1bilt and William Nicoll. So £111 only the farm of Mr. Nicol] has 'been attacked besides the “Deer Rangefi.’ which is the propelty of Mr. J. Neale Plumb, Where the enemy was filst discovered. The discovery was made on Wednesday of last week, and then the 111mv was already on thei much. In conversation with the reporter Mr. Plumb said the discovery was purely ao‘ Description «I the \Vorm and III Habits: (N. Y. Herald.) The army worm has made its appearance on the south side of Long Island to the great loss of some and the consternation of all of the farmers in that section. Already its ravages have been very severe, and unless its progress can he stayed it will leave a track of desolation clear across the island. Where the pest came from is a mystery which no- body who has so far investigated the subject is prepared to solve, It was observed some time ago, however, that peculiar flies, remark- able for their numbers. had put in an appear- ance on the uplands near the coast. and it is thought by the farmers that the army now on the march is the product of this swarm. As this is the first time the army worm has ap- peared in this section great interest is no; turally felt in its ravages, and it is neces- sary that prompt measures looking to its ex- tirpation should be adopted immediately. In view of all this a reporter yesterday visited the scene of destruction on Long Island. and gathered all the information it was possible to obtain in regard to the habits of the worm and the remedies to be employed in dealing with it. The black cap was then drawn down over his face and the Rev. Robert Cameron offered up prayer for his soul. Everything was now ready and Mr. Cameron then commenced the Lord's Prayer, which was repeated by the few present, and just when that portion of the prayer was reached, “ Thy kingdom Come." the Deputy Sheriff pressed the lever. the drop fell and all that was heard was the dull, heavy thud. As the rope stiffened the large bellm the city helfry was telling, proclaim- ing that the inurderér's soul was launched- into eternity. There was a dreadful silence, ‘ broken only by the moaning of the breezes. iThe bright blue sky seem to shadow for an iinstant as if in sympathy with the dreadful drama being enacted within the prison walls. The drop fell about five minutes past 8 o‘clock, The body swung for a few moments and than a shivering of the frame took place, the knees were raised till they almost came even with his breast, then relaxed and straightened out at full length. The body trembled for a considerable time, 'the mouth opened wide and gradually closed again. The body hung. suspended for 27 minutes, when Drs. Griffini and Harris pronounced life extinct and ordered it to be lowered, which was done by Leo Mayo and an assistant, who carried it in- to the next corridor. The physicians took charge of the body and made the usual ex. amination, in all of which nothing worthy of note was adduced. The body was then placed in a coffin. A plain inscription read I “ Benjamin Carrier, aged 27 years, died June 11th, 1880.” After the execution the Sherifl led the way into the corridor, where the fol- lowing declaration was subscribed : That judgment of death was this day executed on Benjamin Carrier. in the common jail. of the county of Brant, in the city of Brantford, in our presence, John Smith. Sheriff ; U. E. Smith, Governor of jail l Henry Lernmon, J. P,; R, Cameron, pastor for Carrier; A, G. Smith, Mohawk Chief ; Wm. Widqe, Cayuga Chief ;‘ Richard Hill. Tuscarora Chief. “ I wish to tell all those who are to witness my going out of time into eternity that I have repented of all my sins, that is, Whenever I have been guilty of breaking the command- ments of God, and I trust that they have all been pardoned through the mercy of the Re- deemer, and I could only wish that all my friends and relations would put their trust in God now, who is ever merciful, so that when- ever they are called upon to go out of time into eternity they may meet me in that good land where, through the mercy of the Re- deemer, I have been encouraged to hope of gaining an entrance. I have now only to say that I wish all those present here to know that‘I have entrusted all the worldly goods I possessed to the cure of my mother for the benefit of my children. She, of course, will give each of ,them their portion when they grow up. This is all I Wish to say." Execution of Carrier at Brantâ€" ford. annrronn, Ont, June 11.â€"-To-day, Fri day morning, Benj. Carrier paid the penalty of the crime of which he was convicted. The terrible drama enacted within the walls of the County gaol‘ is one that will ever live in the memory of the few who witnessed it. The crime, the terrible and insanely executed crime, came forcibly to mind as the guilty and almost dying man stepped on to the death trap without a tremor agitating his frame. He slept well, but ate no breakfast. During yesterday afternoon Carrier was vis- ited by his mother and sister, who seemed to feel deeply the awful position of the son and brother. Last evening they visited him for the last time, but throughout the interview he evinced no emotion. and when the time came for them to depart he bid them a last fare. well. He was also visited yester- day afternoon by Mr. Bellamy, who prayed with him. He retired last night about 10 o’clock, and was soon fast asleep, in which condition he remained until 4 o’clock this morning, when he was awak- ened by the turnkey, Mr.Ketchie. He jumped up when called and seemed in good spirits, not appearing to realize his awful position. About six o’clock his breakfast was brought into his cell, but he refused to partake, and then it was for the first time that he seemed to realize his doom. Mr. Bellamy was the first person besides the oflioers of the jail who visited him this morning. He prayed with him, and hi:l impression of the doomed man was that he would not make a confession to him, for the reason that he wished to shield his relatives from disgrace. Shortly after Bellamy left his cell he was visited by his spiritual advisers, Rev. Robert Cameron and the Rev. G. O. Needham. the Indian missionary, who remained with him until it was time {or the Deputy Sheriff to enter his cell and pinion him, "which he did in a few minutes. The doomed man stood up boldly, not evincing a tremor of the muscles. This far all being in readiness,that fatal procession. preceded by the Sheriff, marched through the corridor 0 where 3the gallows was in readiness. The instrument of death was about fifteen or twenty feet from the ceiling to the floor and the drop five feet nine inches from the trap. The rope was about 8 of an inch in thickness and was of English manufacture. Carrier took his po- sition on the death trap and the Deputy- Sheriff neatly strapped his legs together. The noose was then adjusted and everything was in readiness, except covering theyoung man’s head with the white cap. These operations consumed but a few minutes, during which no signs of emotion, except an occasional tremor of the limbs or a nervous twitching of the facial muscles, were noticeable. “Have you anything to say?" asked the Slierifi.‘ “ Yes,” said the doomed man, “ I would like to say something, but can- not do so without an interpreter.” Chief A. G. Smith then stepped up close to him and repeated after him the following dying confession: THE MONTH) MAN’S SPEECH HOW THE WORM WAS DISCOVERED. THE A “MY \VOBNI. WE SEQFFMB.

It came in the boxes that brought our roots and seeds, and I am Waiting to see what it will produce in our climateâ€"What will spring from it without culture.” “ Tell the Herald’s readers,” Mr. Hinsdale said, as the train started, “to come to Garden City and see our best friend, the crow.” 'l‘he great farmuonce barren and under. valued Hempstead Plainsâ€"«smiled in the richest verdure of June ; flowers were in their bloom; the park surrounding the Gar- den City Hotel was glorious ; not a. blade of grass had perished in the dxought, nor had a. tree lost the slightest tinge of its living green. “Here, sir,” Mr. Hinsdale said as he intro- duced the Herald representative to Mr. C. L. Allen, the hm‘ticulturist of Garden City, “is a. gentleman who can give you a. homily upon the crow.“ Mr. W. R. Hinsdale, the manager of A. T. Stewart’s great farm of twenty square miles â€"known as Garden Cityâ€"said : “Worms? No, sir. We have nothing ef the kind. We keep crows here. They know us. and have become so tome that instead of cawing around overhead they alight and walk of er our thousand acres of oats, rye and wheat and earn.

In Hempstead the farmers are not so, seri- ously annoyed by the worm as in Inslip. A gentleman whose home is in Hempstead said : â€"“ We were troubled by these worms two years ago and again last year, and the open winter that preceded this season favored in: sects of all kinds. The worm is upon us 9. month earlier than last year, as is the potato beetle, and our crops are really endangered“ I‘his Worm of which you speak, sir, builds its nest in the wild cherry tree and‘ from that it attacks the up le tree, and after stripping that goes to t e oak as its second choice and to the rosebush third. It will take all the leaves from the tree in an incredibly short time, and after it has riddled a tree it will march at almost incredible speed for the wheat fields.” The worm which attacked Mr. Plumb’s farm came from the south and is marching north. Few of the Long Island farms have so great a water front as “Deer Range,” which seems to show, if the theory is true that this warm comes from the south and moves toward the north, that it must have come up out of the sea. Be this as it may the present progress is to the northward. The column began its march at the upland and then continued working along,7 the grass into the grainfields. The line of march was di- rectly across Deer Range through the centre of the farm, in a strip of about 30 acres in width. There was no strangling and nothing edible was left unconsumed. Fire and sword and the tread of a victorious army could not have proved so destructive. Sheridan in the Valley of Virginia scarcely left greater deso- lation behind him. The worms first struck a 40 acre field of rye, worth $1,000. and cleared it out in 60 hours. The heads of the cereal had begun to fill with grain. and these were sucked completely dry. A threshing ma- chine could not have more thoroughly stripped the ripe stalk of its succulent juices than did this worm ; and what was even more remarkable was that each worm was allotcd its own peculiar stalk. So complete was the discipline of the force that no one worm at- tempted to interfere with the vested rights of another ; but while this was the case not ablade was left untouched. Mr. Plumb 'es- timated the damage to his farm within the week at not less than $2,000. TO BE axramnnsrnn. So far only the {arms of Mr. Nicoll and Mr. Plumb have been attacked. and active mea- sures will be taken at once to stop the pro- gress of the enemy. Indeed, concerted mea- sures are now under consideration, and every efiort will be made to stamp out the foe. A council of war was held on Sunday with a view to stopping the ravages of the worm, but no general system could beadopted, because it might involve even greater damages than those which are threatened. Fire is the only effective remedy which it is possible to employ against the army worm, and owing to the parched condition of the grass the farmers are afraid to burn out the foe without proper safeguards. Because of this additional danger they are organizing a force to fight the worms, and within the next few days a pitched battle 1 will be fought with the enemy. The plan is to plough a deep furrow across the fields to be protected, on the part of the field toward which the worms are marching. The steep side of the furrow is made next to the crop to be protected, as in attempting to climb it the worms fall back into the furrow. Their persistence, however, is something mar- vellous. Their faces are set toward the north,_and toward the north they persist in going in spite of every obstacle. Those who have observed them say that when everything else fails they make a bridge by their multi- tude, and filling up the furrow with their bodies continue their destructive march. ,In consequence of this persistence when ‘they reach the furrow they are destroyed by fire. On meadow lands it is said a heavy iron roller can be used to crush them. DESCRIPTION or THE worm. The army worm, when fully grown, meas- ures from one and a quarter to two inches in length. As feeding is apparently the sole pur- pose of their grand march, those which are the best fed become the largest in size. In thickness they are of the diameter and ro- tundity of a full grown goose quill. Their color is a light or dark gray, with two lateral stripes, the upper with a. yellowish central line, the‘lower with a reddish one. The worm is supplied with sixteen legs, six of which are pectoral, eight abdominal and two anal, at the extremity of the body. The head is of a polished honey color, on the front of which , is the letter “ V” reversed. Although sup- plied with such a complete outfit of pedal ac- coutrements, they march with great delibera- tion, and at the slightest touch they roll over on their sides and form themselves into a wheel. In conversation with the reporter yes- terday, Mr, Plumb said that although the po- tato bugs disappear before them, the army Worm is not so destructive of potatoes as of cor-n and grass. cidenta]. Preparations had been made for a raid on the potato hugs, but these were in- visible, and in their stead was a worm which had never been seen by the oldest inhabitant. The worms Were found to be in great num- bers, and seemed to be moving in solid phalanx. This is their peculiarity, and it is to this fact that they owe their name. At the time of the discovery the march had only begun, but at first the true character of the pest was not suspected. In consequence its ravages on Mr. Plumb’s farm especially were greater than they would have been if prompt measures had been taken to destroy the worm. HOW TO DESTROY THEM.

Press. About one hundred persons witnessed a eu- rious spectacle at Lansiugburg, N. Y., recent- ly. It was nothing more nor less than a bird execution. An English sparrow had by some means incurred the displeasure of a pair of med-breasted robins, nested in a. tree near ERaweon Hall. A tight took place between the ispsrrow and whine on the rear of the roof of the Rawson Hall building. The sparrow fought pluckily until all at once one of the robins flew off while the other kept up the fighting. The robin messenger soon returned ‘with a piece of cord that was soon wound around;the sparrows neck and the and held in the bill of one of the executionors. This done the sparrow was forced off the'” edge of the roof and briskly attacked by the other robin. Thus situated the sparrow was comparatively helpless, and in a. short time suspended by the neck. dead. After holding their victim and picking him until assured that he was beyond resurrection, the victorious robins flew to their nest in the tree, singing mer- rily as though glorying over their vanquished foe.

When the light was turned up it was found that the blood was streaming from numerous cuts on her arm and shoulders. Although she didn’t consent to divulge who she was, she stated that she lived down about Fifteenth street, and had been at a picnic in the even- ing. About dusk several admirers came to her all at the same time and asked her com. pany. She was the idol of each of them, and while she was revolving in her mind which one she would take. one of them grabbed her by the arm and the rest also seized her, and each struggled hard to carry her away by force. The strongest prevailed. He threw her through the window of a. covered carriage which he had employed, and which was stand- ing near by, and jumped into the rig after her, when the driver put the whip to the team and drove away The wounds were produced by her transit through the pane. The Doctor dressed the cuts and sent her home. From the Cradle. BY FREDERICK LOCKE. They tell me I was born 0. long Three months ngo.‘ But whether they are right or wrong I hardly know.
