"I beg your pardon, sir," says he, while unlocking the door ; " I hope you are not angry with Master Harry. For Master Harry is a fine boy, sir, aijd will do you credit and honor." And Boots signifies to me, that if the fine boy's father had contradicted him in the daring state of mind in which he then was, he thinks he should have " letched him a crack," and taken the consequences.But, Mr. Walmers only says, "No, CC?bbs. No, my good fellow. Thank you !" And, the door being opened, goes in. Boots goes in too, holding the light, and he sees Mr. Walmers go up to the bedside, bend gently down, find kiss the little sleeping face. Then, he stands looking at it for a minute, looking wonderfully like it (they do say he ran away with Mrs.Walmers); and he gently shakes the little shoulder. ri S. STARK. V.

The way in which the women in that house—without exception—every one of 'em—married and single—took to that boy when they heard the story. Boots considers surprising. It was as much as he could do to keep 'em from dashing into the room and kissing him. They cttmbed up alt sorts or places, at the risk of their lives, to look at him through a pane of glass. They were seven deep at the key-hole. They were out of their minds about him and his bold spirit. In the evening, Boots went into the room, to see how the runaway couple was getting on. The gentleman was on the window-seat, supporting the lady in his arms. She had tears upon her face, and was lying, very tired and half asleep, with her head upon his shoulder.

I make the inquiry because if I find that any of my people really has anythiug to complain of, I wish to make it right if I can." "No, sir," says Cobbs, " thanking you, sir, I find myself as well sitiwated here as I could hope to be any wberes. The truth is, sir, that I'm a going to seek my fortin."

He couldn't momently name what was the curiousest thing he had seen—unless it was a Unicorn—and he had seen him, once, at a Fair.

Howsomever, he went on a lying like a Trojan, about the pony. He told 'em that it did so unfortunately happen that the pony was half crippled, you see, and that he couldn't be taken out in that state for fear it should strike to his inside. But, that he'd be finished clipped in the course of the day, and that tomorrow morning at eight o'clock the pheaton would be ready. Boot's view of the whole case, looking back upon it in my room, is, that Mrs. Harry Walmer, Junior, was beginning to give in. She hadn't had her hair curled when she went to bed, and she didn't seem quite up to brushing it herself, and it's getting in her eyes put her out. But, nothing put out Master Harry.

The elderly lady and Mrs. Harry Walmers Junior that never was to be, (she married a Captain loDg afterwards, and died in India), went off next day. Iu conclusion, Boots put it to me whether I hold with him in two opinions ; firstly, that there are not many couples on their wajrto be married, who are half as innocent of guile as those two children ; secondly, that it would be a jolly good thing for a great many couples on their way to get married; if they could only be stopped in time and brought back separately.

He was a gentleman of spirit, and good-looking, and held his head up when he walked, and had what you might call Fire about him. He wrote poetry, and he rode and he ran, and he danced, and he acted; and he done it all equally beautiful. He was uncommonly proud of Master Harry as he was his only child ; but he didn't spoil him, neither. He was a gentleman that had a will of his own and an eye of his own, and that would Le minded. Consequently, though he made quite a companion of tho fine bnightboy, and was delighted to see him so fond of reading his fairy books, and was never tired of hearing him say my name is JNorval; or hearing him sing his songs about Young May Moons in beaming love, and When he as adores thee has left but the name, and that: still he kept the command over the child, and the child was a child, and it's to be wished more of 'em was !

A5D 271 SOUTH MAIN STREET, Contagious Diseases Spbead by Flies. —A curious and perhaps important discovery is stated to have been made recently by M. Kletzinsky, a Viennese Professor. Noticing that persons sick with the small pox were often visited by flies, he placed near an open window of an hospital a saucer filled with glycerine. Soon the flies gathered and were caught like birds with glue. In their endeavors to free themselves, all the foreign matter which had adhered to them was left in th6 glycerine, which was at one submitted to observation with the microscope. It was found that the glycerine, which was chemically pure when offered to the flies, was full of strange eells, 'very similar to those seen on persons attacked by small-pox, but never on flies —a discovery which proves eonclusively that these insects are not only filthy, but can be a very dangerous means oj spreading contagious diseases.

The Foolish Sheep.—A sheep making a long journey found the heat of his fleece very uncomfortable, and, seeing a flock of other sheep in a fold, evidently waiting for some one, leaped over and joined them,in the Lope of being shorn. Perceiving the shepherd approaching, and the other sheep huddling into a remote corner of the fold, he shouldered his way forward, and. going up to the shepherd, said: "Did you ever see such a lot of fools? It's lucky I came along to set them an example of docility. Seeing me operated upon, they'll be glad to offer themselves." "Perhaps so," replied the shepherd, laying hold of the animal's horns, " but I never kill more than one sheep at a time. Mutton won't keep in hot weather.

And the courage of the boy! Bless jour soul, he'd have thrown •ff his little hat, and tucked up his little sleeves, and gone in at a lion, he would, if they had happened to meet one, and she had been frightened of him. One day, he stops, along with her, where Boots was lioeiug weeds in the gravel, and fays—speaking up : "Cobbs," says he, "I like you." "Do you sir? I'm proud to hear it." "Yes, I do, Cobbs, Why do I like yoh, do you think, Cobbs ?" " Don't know, Master Harry, I am sure." "Because Norah likes you, Cobbs." "Indeed, sir? That is very gratifying." "Gratifying, Cobbs? It's better than millions of the brightest diamonds, to be liked by Norah.'' "Certainly, sir." "You're going awav, ain't you, Cobbs?" "Yes, sir." "'Would yon like another situation, Cobbs?" " Well I wouldn't object, if it was a good'un." "Then, Cobbs," says he, "you shall be our Head Gardener when we are married." And he tucks her, in her little sky-blue mantle, under his arm, and walks away. " It's Cobbs ! It's Cobbs !" cries Master Harry, andcomcs running to him and catching hold of his hand. Miss Norah comes running to him on t'other side and catching hold of his t'other hand, they both jump for joy. Pittston,Nov. 21.18G7. Amos E. Kapp, i Henry Frick, ! James H. Jenkins, ) Q •a Boots leaves me to judge what a Beast he felt himself to be, when that young pair told him, as they aH three jogged along together, that they had made up their minds to give him two thousand guineas a year as head gardener, on account of his being so true a friend to 'em. Boots could have wished at the moment that the earth would have opened and swallowed him up ; he felt so mean, with their beaming eyes a looking at him, and believing him. Well, sir, he turned the conversation as best he could, and tobk 'em down Love Lane to the water-meadows, and there Master Harry would have drowned himself in half a moment more, a gettiug out a water lily for her—but nothing daunted that boy. Well, sir, they was tired out. All being so new and strange to 'em, they was tired as tired could be. And they laid down on a bank of daisies, like the children in the wood, leastways meadows, and fell asleep. Boots don't know—perhaps I do—but never mind, it don't signify either way —why it made a man fit to make a fool of himself, to seo them two pretty babies a lying there in the clear still sunny day, not dreaming half so hard when they was asleep, as they done when they were awake.

Carolina Rick Fields.—The North Carolina rice fields, comprising the richest lands of the State, and capable of producing 500,000 to l,000,0(k) bushels of grain a year, are described as being all covcred with reeds and bushes, their ditches filled with mud, their dykes rotted away, and rice is no longer a staple product or any article of export. Thirty years ago the rice fields of fhe Cape Fear river produced a crop of 200,000 bushels, the most of which was shipped to Northern cities, where it was cleaned and prepared for market. Fifteen years later, just before the breaking out of the war, the yield of the same region had increased to 500,000 bushels, and at the same time there were several mills in Wilmington in which the rice was cleaned before it was , THE BEST OF FLOUR, FEED, &c., KEYSTONE MARBLE YARD. which can be produced.

Boots was of opinion that the birds believed they were birds, and kept up with 'em. Sometimes they would creep under the tulip tree, and would sit there with their arms round one another s necks, and their soft cheeks touching, a reading about the Prince, and the Dragon, and the good and bad enchanters, and the king's fair daughter. Sometimes he would hear them planning about having a bouse in the forest, keeping bees and a cow, and living entirely on milk and honey. Once he came upon tbem by the pond, and heard Master Harry say, "Adorable Norah, kiss me, and say you love me to destraction, or I'll jump in bead foremost."

It was as much as he could do to keep 'em from dashing into the room and kissing him. They cttmbed up alt sorts or places, at the risk of their lives, to look at him through a pane of glass. They were seven deep at the key-hole. They were out of their minds about him and his bold spirit. In the evening, Boots went into the room, to see how the runaway couple was getting on. The gentleman was on the window-seat, supporting the lady in his arms. She had tears upon her face, and was lying, very tired and half asleep, with her head upon his shoulder.

Howsomever, he went on a lying like a Trojan, about the pony. He told 'em that it did so unfortunately happen that the pony was half crippled, you see, and that he couldn't be taken out in that state for fear it should strike to his inside. But, that he'd be finished clipped in the course of the day, and that tomorrow morning at eight o'clock the pheaton would be ready. Boot's view of the whole case, looking back upon it in my room, is, that Mrs. Harry Walmer, Junior, was beginning to give in.

Iu conclusion, Boots put it to me whether I hold with him in two opinions ; firstly, that there are not many couples on their wajrto be married, who are half as innocent of guile as those two children ; secondly, that it would be a jolly good thing for a great many couples on their way to get married; if they could only be stopped in time and brought back separately.

He wrote poetry, and he rode and he ran, and he danced, and he acted; and he done it all equally beautiful.

A5D 271 SOUTH MAIN STREET, Contagious Diseases Spbead by Flies. —A curious and perhaps important discovery is stated to have been made recently by M. Kletzinsky, a Viennese Professor. Noticing that persons sick with the small pox were often visited by flies, he placed near an open window of an hospital a saucer filled with glycerine. Soon the flies gathered and were caught like birds with glue. In their endeavors to free themselves, all the foreign matter which had adhered to them was left in th6 glycerine, which was at one submitted to observation with the microscope. It was found that the glycerine, which was chemically pure when offered to the flies, was full of strange eells, 'very similar to those seen on persons attacked by small-pox, but never on flies —a discovery which proves eonclusively that these insects are not only filthy, but can be a very dangerous means oj spreading contagious diseases.

The Foolish Sheep.—A sheep making a long journey found the heat of his fleece very uncomfortable, and, seeing a flock of other sheep in a fold, evidently waiting for some one, leaped over and joined them,in the Lope of being shorn. Perceiving the shepherd approaching, and the other sheep huddling into a remote corner of the fold, he shouldered his way forward, and. going up to the shepherd, said: "Did you ever see such a lot of fools? It's lucky I came along to set them an example of docility. Seeing me operated upon, they'll be glad to offer themselves." "Perhaps so," replied the shepherd, laying hold of the animal's horns, " but I never kill more than one sheep at a time. Mutton won't keep in hot weather.

One day, he stops, along with her, where Boots was lioeiug weeds in the gravel, and fays—speaking up : "Cobbs," says he, "I like you." "Do you sir? I'm proud to hear it." "Yes, I do, Cobbs, Why do I like yoh, do you think, Cobbs ?" " Don't know, Master Harry, I am sure." "Because Norah likes you, Cobbs." "Indeed, sir? That is very gratifying." "Gratifying, Cobbs?

Boots could have wished at the moment that the earth would have opened and swallowed him up ; he felt so mean, with their beaming eyes a looking at him, and believing him. Well, sir, he turned the conversation as best he could, and tobk 'em down Love Lane to the water-meadows, and there Master Harry would have drowned himself in half a moment more, a gettiug out a water lily for her—but nothing daunted that boy. Well, sir, they was tired out. All being so new and strange to 'em, they was tired as tired could be. And they laid down on a bank of daisies, like the children in the wood, leastways meadows, and fell asleep.

Carolina Rick Fields.—The North Carolina rice fields, comprising the richest lands of the State, and capable of producing 500,000 to l,000,0(k) bushels of grain a year, are described as being all covcred with reeds and bushes, their ditches filled with mud, their dykes rotted away, and rice is no longer a staple product or any article of export. Thirty years ago the rice fields of fhe Cape Fear river produced a crop of 200,000 bushels, the most of which was shipped to Northern cities, where it was cleaned and prepared for market. Fifteen years later, just before the breaking out of the war, the yield of the same region had increased to 500,000 bushels, and at the same time there were several mills in Wilmington in which the rice was cleaned before it was , THE BEST OF FLOUR, FEED, &c., KEYSTONE MARBLE YARD. which can be produced.

BBUNER, JR., Boots could assure me that it was better than a picture and equal to a play, to see tbem babies with tbeir long bright curling bair, tbeir sparkling ejes, and their beautiful light tread, a ramblitig about the garden, deep in love. Boots was of opinion that the birds believed they were birds, and kept up with 'em. Sometimes they would creep under the tulip tree, and would sit there with their arms round one another s necks, and their soft cheeks touching, a reading about the Prince, and the Dragon, and the good and bad enchanters, and the king's fair daughter. Sometimes he would hear them planning about having a bouse in the forest, keeping bees and a cow, and living entirely on milk and honey. Once he came upon tbem by the pond, and heard Master Harry say, "Adorable Norah, kiss me, and say you love me to destraction, or I'll jump in bead foremost." And Boots made no question be would have done, if she hadn't complied. On the whole, Boots said it had a tendency to make bim feel ns if he was in love himself—only he didn't exactly know who with.

A boiled fowl, and baked bread-andbutter pudding, brought Mrs. Walmers up a little ; but Boots, could have wished, he must privately own to be, to have seen her more sensible of the voice of love, and less abandoning of herself to currants. However, Master Harry he kept up, and his noble heart was as fond as ever. Mrs. Walmers turned very sleepy about dusk, and began to cry.
