Blackberries that are neither green nor red, abound, at four and five cents a quart. There is here plenty of everything that is good to eat, except chickens, which have died or are dying of cholera. It is peculiarly unfortunate that this disease should have appeared among "the chickens just at this time. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that proaehers can eat nothing " but chicken."

There are moro fine farm houses in Berks and Lancaster counties, than a traveler in Europe will see In six months. The peasantry of Europe live in small houses, and are very poor. Our Pennsylvania farmers live in substantial houses, and they are rich. My impression is that the cheapest and tho best place to live in the United States is in Southern Pennsylvania. Good boarding can bo had here for one third less than poor board can be had in Lurerne county. In the towns here there is a market three times a week to which the farmers bring their eggs and butter and fowls and vegetable, and families buy directly of the producers without the intervention of hucksters.

The young lady who sat next to Miss Bryson turned her back to her, and made no offer of her note book when she rose to sing ; she seemed to be avoided as one with the plague. Iler face burned red as crimson, and then grow pale as ashes. What had she done—wh-at could be the meaning of all this ? Mr. John Elmore had got himself into a fine pickle. The young ladies of his choir notified him that they would sing no more unless Miss Bryson was removed, and this disagreeable task ho was obliged to perform. He wrote her a note, stating th;i t circumstances unforseen by him when he invited her to become a member of the choir, compelled him to withdraw the invitation. It was a very rude proceeding, but would she pardon him ? Many girls would have railed after the shock, and defiantly met the inhospitable world; but not so with Ellen Bryson. Whenever she went into society she was treated with scorn and contempt; so at length she remained at home and grievod herself sick oyer it. Sho was one of those fragile blossoms that a rough wind or unkind frost will so easily destroy. Very few persons called at the white cottage; but lynx-eyed neighbors noticed that Squire Gregory was there with parcels and bundles, and that was enough for them.
