Mns. Crownino. " It will be strange," said Emily Abbott, on lhe afiernoon of her aixteenih birihday, " if Walter brings me no gift to-day. Papa has surprised me with thia beauiiful rose-wood lurniture for my sleeping room, and mamma too purchased those elegant roses from Valen- tina's—all my friends have remembered me, as these books and dresses and boqueta wilt teatify —all but Walter; and I'd ralher have ever so peutet a ww a httle a souvenir from him than all these heaps jjjjrribic death! of nice things, except the gifts of my parenis." p„;r.. „v,..jj_ At thia moment a servant brought in a small package which had been left at the door " for Miss Emily." "This must be from Walter at last." ex claimed the young lady, as ehe haaiily untied the envelope. '* Ah! how magnificent!" she cried, as her gaze fell upon a Geneva watch of the moet ex-, quiaite workmanship, and witb a chain of pearls j strung with gold attached. The expression of| her glowing countenance changed fls she read the note which accompanied thiscostfy present, "It is not Walter's present," she sighed. And two-thirda her pleasure in its beauty was gone, tor it came from a designing old bachelor who lived across the street—who fell in love anew with every youthful lorm and smthng face —who quite persecuted th'ia really lovely young girl—and whom the petted child disliked exceed' ingly. Laying the liny watch disdainfully upon the lable, she strayed to the window and looked thoughtfully oul, not at the palace of the pre¬ sumptuous old bachelor wuh ita marble steps and plate glass windowa—her brilliant hazel eyes followed the gay tide-of people sweeping by in sleigha to the swift tune oi tinkling bells. Yet sho scarcely saw them, so preoccupied was her raind with wondering why her couain Wal¬ ter, of all others, should not even send her a note of congratulation upon this eventful day ; of which they were both speaking the preceding evening, when he had said, with an earnest look which made her blush wilh diffident delight, " You will no longer be a child, but a woman, Emily." As she remained by the window, for the twentieth time since morning, the servant who waited upon the door bcll appeared within the apartment with tbe same brief—'Mor Misa Emily." He held something in his arms wrap¬ ped up in a Sllk handkerchief. The young girt; approached wilh great curiosity to ascertain thc contents of lhe bundle, which announced itself without ceremony, by an impatient sharp little bark, to be a lap dog. " Oh you darling creature '. you dear Htlle fel¬ low!" exclaimed the young lady, as she took offhis wrappings and stood him down upon the carpet. It waa one of the rarest and most diminutive of his race. All lovers of his kind would affirm that he was a "perfect beauty." He wore a gold collar heavy and as rich as a lady's bracelet, upon which was inscribed FLUSH, The Faithful Bog of Emily. A biliet was atiached to his ribbon in Wal¬ ter's beloved hand-writing praying his cousin to accept his humble gift, which he hoped would be to her so constant a companion and so faith¬ ful a friend that she would perceive in it some¬ thing of the tastes and desires of the givBr.— The note farther stated that " Fluah " had been named after Miss Barrett's immortalized pet; thathe wasjust from Paris; and that there was not another so fine alap dog inthe whole city_ "I am ready to believe that!" aaid his mis¬ tress, aa ahe stooped to raise him to her arms- His brown silken ears, his gentle eyes, his liny proportions were to her subjects of wonder and delight. The warm caresses she bestowed upon him may have borrowed soma tenderness from tnoughts of the giver oi the pretty creature. He seemed lo confer more pleasure than all the beautiful presents which lay upon the table. In playfulness she detached tbe elegant chain from the old bachelor's walch and fastening it to "Flush's" neck, led him captive into the presence of her moiher, by whom he waa very much admired. " Now am I the happiest of girls •" repeated Emily, softly to herself, as wearied with waltz¬ ing ten times around the parlors with Flush in her arms, she deposited him upon the sofa and turned to the large mirror to put £in place her down-falling curls. If youth, health, love, wealth and heauty could I make the child of aixteen £0 happy, itwas no wonder. No face waa ever reflected in that gilded mirror ao singularly beautitul as here— i fair alike from its freshness, innocence, glowing complexion and perfect tealures. The " winds of heaven" hadnever visited it too roughly. The tondness of parental affection had surrounded the only daughter with such exceas of tender indulgence thai had not the sweetness of her inind and temper been almost meffable they woutd have made of her a capricious mistress, instead of the dutilul child she was. " The happiest ot girls !" As she repeated this, looping at the same lime an ebon curl back from her roseate cheek, ber glance fell upon lhe reflection of her pet upon the sola. She lurned quickly around and gazed into the dog'a inhuman eyes. Those eyes were like small ballaol £re, lurid, fixed and threateniog, glaring upon her with ao Btrange an expression that she shuddered and felt a cold thrill striking to her heart. They seemed to express the very intensity of malice and to soy that she should never be happy again. She re¬ treated two or three steps nearer to the door un- consciouily, impelled by a wish to escape from (he lerriiying influence ol those eyes ; and yet not thinking of a certain danger which ahe might be incurring, and grieved that her new fivoritc should display so aurly a disposiiion she held out her hund, saying coaxingly—" Flush !" Immediately ibe dog sprang towards her wiih almost the bound ot a cat, and with so fierce a yeip lhat she, too, sprung and placed ibe haU door between herteU and her furious little eaemy. "1 declare I will never love you, you cross litile rascal!" said Emily, teare ol vexation on her cheeks aa she recoveied Irom her fright, and gently unclosing iho door peeped in and saw Fluah lying ai his ease on the rug, hie old good- natured expression reiurned, and oeeming dis¬ posed to dpOri with the chain that waa danulmg around his feel in glittering links of pearls and gold. I His sudden ht of ferocity made her very cau-1 tious in her advanced ; so ihai ii was some mm¬ utes beiore she gamed confidence to approach the rug and kneel down upon it and pat his nil- ken head, and reprove him in her musical tones ior his naughiinesa. ** You will be sent back to your maaier, or kept upon a diet of skimmed milk if ever you behave lu auch a manner again. You have made me laugh and cry, and given me flttcb a' Iright that I shall dream ubout it. Vou looked i raucb more like an evil apini than liko " the ' lailhful dog of Emily," a that collar ao flatter-' ingly saya. Now, sit, what have you lo aay for youtseu I" Flush rubbed hui nose afiectionately againsi her haud, looking up inlo her face with eyes aa meek as ihough ihey were incapable of any more fierce lighl. He seemed silently begging her pardon tor his fit of ill temper, and she so soon forgave him thai when ihe tea-bell rang, she had decided to give him his aupper then and for¬ ever after upun a plate of rare old porcelain which had hitherto been her own peculiar prop¬ erty. That evening Walter Abbott come in and found her with Flush nestled on her shoulder, playing, with her shining cuflsand biting the freah flowers which adorned them. Walter al. though b£ariii£ tbe lumei family name, was but a very distant :JtoIaU?e of Emily; but he had ship, which wa« not diaapproved by the parenie of either, took reiuge under the title of '* com. in." Pleased that the beautiful girl thought bo ^ 1 well of hia gift, ho waa yet a littlejealonflof' the almost exclusive attontion which.ehe bestow¬ ed upon it. She related to him-wliata savage disposition the tiny animal had already'ahdwn; her cousin laughed ather reireating before a puny dog, and attributcd'his ill tumor to the fact of his being amid strangers,-adding: '' But it will not be long until he ia as devoted as the rest of your friends. Sae! how lovingly he is crouched upon yoor Bhonlder.*' Her father. Dr. Abbott, who had a groat aver¬ sion to the whole canine race, looked over hia spectacles with no friendly eyes upon the hand- some pet; he could not bear roaee it inhb daughter's arms or npon her neck. If ebe would allow it to remain where it belonged, upon tho carpet, he would not care; but to see Emily careasiDg that senseless thing, when there waa BO many more reasonable creatures who prized her caressea" obove all gold, was exceedingly out of tasle. When abe came as usual and perched upon his knea, he caused her to leave poor Flush upon an ottoman—he should not prize her tenderness very highly, he said, ifhe waa 10 see so much lavished npon a lap-dog.— "Oh, but father, he's^ucA a darling; just feel of his dainty ears and remark how very, very pret¬ ty he is—how delicate, how nice, and wilh wbat an intelligent look V "Yes! yes!" said the Doctor; impatiently, "H wasjusi such a beauty that ran mad in Alias Spencer's lap, and caused that poor girl a most hini aware of evil news. When he came to know what that news really was, the depth of lhe passion he cherished for hta cousin became apparent in the violence ofhia grief. looped her shining hair—she looked all ethereal lightness, brightness,and loveliness. . She received her guests with so animated a countenance that all felt disposed to enjoy tbem 'Fool! fool thatl waa to cnrae her with [aelvea who entered the rooms. Mr.'and Mrs. Emily shuddered. She thought of the fiery eyes that had startled her a few houra previous¬ ly and the same cold thrill airuck back to her heart. She knew that her father had good rea¬ aon to dislike dogs since his attendance upon the death-bed of a young lady who had suffered all the inconceivable horrors of Hydrophobia.— The stern man who could attend to all the often terrible dutiea of his profesaion without a quiver of his well-controlled nerves, had come from lhat acene of distress and madness, with an in¬ vincible aversion to the race of animals who eo frequently infiict upon man the pangs of their fearful malady. Sho was almoat tempted io re¬ nounce her dog; but another glance at him aa ho lay like a ball of glossy silken floss at her feet, overcame the resolution and made her more in love with him than ever. From lhat time forward Flush was Emily's constant companion. He slept upon her bed at night and laid at her feet or in her lap by day.— Yet ahe never forgot lhat strange and sudden Aorror lhat had startled her soui for one brief moment, upon meeting those lurid eyes the first day of bis coming. When she had said to her¬ self so confidently—" now am I the happiest of girls," that malignant gaze had said, almost as plainly—"you shall never be happy again."— He had no more such outbreaks of spite; it was principally in her dreams that the memory of that liltle scene recurred—visions made hateful by the glare of fiery eye-balls came to be com¬ mon viaitors of her sleep. Thia may have been merely n habit, or the result of eating delicate suppers too late in the evening, or the want o^ taking sufficient exercise. If the latter reason, then Emily may have ex¬ pected soon to be rid of her troublesome night¬ mares when summer came, and her famiiy re¬ moved from thc close city to their beautiful home in tha counlry. Here she almoat ran wild with the freedom of her playful life. Her gam¬ bols exceeded in merriment thoso of the indo¬ lent and aristocratic lap dog. He followed her from room to room, to the garden, the grove, the grape arbor, the river, the lawn, but it was with rather a listless and disconcerted air. Some¬ timea he threw aside his petit dignity and en¬ joyed it as highly as his mistress, when she wreathed him round and round with violets, and almost buried him in huge roses. Walter was studying law in town but the dis¬ tance was only a few miles, and he spenl his Sabbaths and holidays wiih his uncle, so that the summer was one of gayety and youthful en¬ joyment lothe loyely Emily. CHAPTER II. Il was a sultry day in August. So very warm and oppressive was the weather that Emily had hard work to amuse herself. Music, books, and drawing, were all as a task ! she lounged upon the sofa in tbe coolest part of the house; bUt even lounging was heavy business. Finally she resorted to her favoriie seat under an elm, which spread its green arms far and wide, woo¬ ing whatever breeze stole acrops the lawn.— Here, with a dreaming sort of a volume which could be read without much effort, she was wearing away the golden, but burning afternoon, when her attention was suddenly attracted by the distressed cry of her pet, who had bounded away from her a few moments before towards tbe road which skirted the lawn. Looking up she beheld poor Flush in the power of a large dog, who was learing him to pieces unmerciful¬ ly. Emily echoed his cry of distress as she flew to the rescue ot her tiny friend. Before she reached the spot the larger brute had trotted off, leaving his victim bleediug and torn upon thc ground. He turned his eyes imploringly upon his mis¬ tress, who with lears and lamentations bore him into the house and had hia wounda carefully dressed. For many days he lay upon his little bed unable to frohc with his gleeful owner, who cherished him with tender care. At length he grew quite well again, and was ablo to run wilhout limping, a gay attendant of the-charm¬ ing girl wJio was made only to be petted, and to have beautiful pels. Tbe mischievous dog who attacked him was supposed to be a certain surly dog of a neighboring farmer, who made it his especial business to fall upon and mjure every member of his race whom he chanced to en¬ counter, unless they were his superiors in strength and ferocity. After an inierval ofa few weeks, Fluah be¬ gan to droop ; he lost his appetite, grew thin, his silken coat lost sorae of its glossiness—he waa evidently ill. In vain Emily concerned her¬ self about him ; he would not eat, even out of her delicate hand ; he would not play qr follow her fleet footsteps aa was his wont; but would lie sluggishly in her lap for hours. The young girl besought her faiher,to prescribe ior him, bul ho always said "tush !" and added that the only medicine he needed was a bullet, or a dose of poison. A bullet ! a doae of poison ! Emi¬ ly would almost aa soon have ihought of apply¬ ing such remediea to a sick infant, so' precious to her was her devoted and pretty favorite, who seemed indeed now to be the " faithful dog of Emily." About three weeks after this failure of his heallh, Emily one day heard Flush tearing about ihrough her boudoir in a manner that ex cited her wonder. Entering, she saw him dash¬ ing against the window and falling back upon her pots of choice flowers, crushing them ina woful manner. He did not perceive her -for a moment; when ho did, he ran towards her, foaming at the mouth, his eyes a dull, lurid red, his tail sweeping the floor* She spoke to him but he did not recognize her voice ; ahe held oul her white hand and he sprang upon i flicttng a deep wound upon the palm. '* Flush!" she shook him ofi", exclaiming with a horror-stricken face— " The dog is mad !—is mad !" He fled from the room, but it waa too late ; too late, indeed ! for there upon her delicate palm was the bleeding imprint ofhis poisonous fanga. Flush dashed by her as she ran into the parlor and darling down the lawn disap¬ peared up.ihe road. Terror and tmguish filled thc house. " Oh 1 where is your father (" cries Mrs. Abbott, wringing her handa and gazing in a dis- tracted manner upon that beautiful and beloved child now threatened with so frightful a doom. "Where IS your lather? he might do some- woMd"*"^^^" ^^^ 'consequences of this dreadful Alas ! he isin ifae city," repUed EmUy, more calmthan her mother, bm leaning color- less againsi the wall, overcome by the audden calamity which had befallen her. A servant was despatched for him in the greaiest haste. It was of course aeveral houra before Dr. Abbott arrived, and in the meantime noihing had beei done for the child, except to bathe the WOOD'S with cold salt and waur. The distreaa of the father was wordloBs and inexpressible. None could tell from the stern composure ol his pale brow the sickness thai was at his heart. AU his study and experience aa a physician tended to confirm him in the beliafl that the malady which threatened his daughter was incurable; that altboaghjudiciotis treatment often deferred the evil day, yet its sometime coming wai mevitable. That evening, the day being SatanUy, Wal¬ ter ^ame oai to ^end the time~ natil Mbsdiajr ppraiDg. Th» Nd;fwe0 wbiob ost biia ludp-, such a gift!" he cried in the bitterness of self- reproach. He could not endure that any one' sbould witoess his emotion, but rushing out in¬ to the cool night-air, he paced up and down with hasty steps. In halfan faour he returned to where his affianced was reclining, pale and nervous upon the sofa. " Oh ! Emily," he said, in a choking voice, "dear Emily, if it had only been me ." " You shall not talk in that manner, unlesa you wish to add to my troubles. We can bear anything, Walter, if we have faith and patience, And I do not think thia will prove so very bad. Papa, you know, is so very skillfull, that I can place myself in his hands witbout much fear of the result.' The sweetness wilh which lhe young girl satd this ; the courageous attempt she made to smile, and the love which lighted up her exqui¬ site features, threw Waller into new agony.— He bowed his head on his hands, while his frame shook visibly. Her liilher, who had heard the last sentence, groaned aloud, and her mother's tears became mingled with sobs. " You are all determined lo double my afilic- tions, instead of setting me an example of forti¬ tude. I cannot endure it—indeed I cannoi—to Bee you all so unhappy ;" and rising from the lounge, Emily went to ttie piano, and sang in a clear but somewhat tremulous voice, " He doeth alt ihings well." She had never looked moro lovely than she did then. A rich crimson took for a few mo¬ ments the place of paleness on her round and velvet cheek—it was impossible to believe (hat the rich tide which linged her radiant complex¬ ion waa becoming imbued with the seeda ofa fearful madness. Hope almost inspired the hearts ofher parents while listening to her sweet voice dwelling up¬ on those beautiful words. A creature so youth¬ ful, ao beautiful and so adored could not be snatched from life and happiness in such a cruel manner. Yet oihers as young, as beautiful, as adored, had been taken away. The hour carae for retiring to rest, and ihen poor Emily felt that her happiness was gone. She couldnot go to ber couch, as she hitberto done, and lay her fearless head upon a pillow blessed with sweet steep and sweeter dreams. Phantoms of horror now inhabited her chamber, and the companion she moal dreaded would there be alone with her—thai companion was heraelf. She feared her own ihoughta and dreaded her dreams, she shrank trom the consciousness of what she was; already her pulse and brain seemed to he dis¬ eased—she fled from the idea that every heart¬ throb brought her nearer lo insanity, convul- sions and death. A cot bed was prepared in her parents' apartment,audplaced so near to them, that by reaching out her hand she could touch her mother's dear face and galher comfort from her nearness. Within two days the family started for a wa¬ ter-cure eatablishment. The wound in Emily's hand was not painful any longer, and seemed about to heal. Dr. Abbott was resolved that all lhat science and skill could do should be done. He commenced immediately reading everything that had ever been written upon hydrophobia, in his own country or the world. He lound some French journals treating of the subject, which gave him some hope that, did the mad¬ ness manifest itself, he should be able to subdue His great object waa to keep her from all exciiement, lo secure her mind from agitation and her pulse from fever. In the establishmeni to which they went there was an abundance of good society—cheerful, intelligenl and refined. With this sociely Emily was encouraged to mingle. Walks, rides, music, pleasant conver¬ sation were used to while away her hours and direct her thoughts. Every day she took two vapor baths. Every one regarded the lovely young invalid with interest. To none, except the presiding phyaician, waa confided the secret of her illness. Most people supposed her to be consumptive, for her step had began lo grow languid and her cheek thin. Daily, at the hour; in which ahe encountered her distressing acci¬ dent, a slight fever colored her face and burned in her large, dark eye ; she would be restless, nervous, unhappy, and it required all the ort and affection of her friends to prevent her fal¬ ling into melancholy reveries. Walter, who had tried in vain to pursue his studies and be satisfied with written accounts of her health, becoming to anxious too mind ony other consid¬ erations, had followed the family, and wos a con¬ stant, indefatigable shadow who hovered about her path. Strangers regarded his evident pas¬ sion with respect and sympaihy, when they look¬ ed upon the object ofii and beheld her so beau¬ tiful yet so lading. Weeks rolled by and no symptoms of the dreadeddisease appeared. Yet the young girl con. tinued to fade, and her father resolvedio change the manner of their life and experiment upon travelling. All piacea of beauty and interest were visited tbat lay wjihin the range of North¬ ern travel; they only returned to their house in the city -r/hen the cold weather made it unpleas¬ ant to be any longer away from horae. Emily was but the shadow of her former rose¬ ate self. Yet as there seemed nothing to dread except this mysterious decline, hope began fee¬ bly to light up the sad countenances of her parents. Knowing herself to bo the object of such painful solicitude, the young girl endeavored lo conceal her real dejection in fitful starts of.gay- ety, so wild, so unnatural, as to be more alarm"- ing than the deepest melancholy. There was someihing mocking in thc sound of her sweet laugh, and unreal in the kindling light of her dark eye, which struck despair to those affec¬ tionate hearta beating faat with love and appre¬ hension. Walter's spirits, and even health, were affec¬ ted by the intensity of his solicitude. His stu¬ dies became a eenseleas task, and the house of his uncle was haunted by him. He hovered, shadow like, around his affianced; sighed at her immoderate mirth, and stJllmore deeply at her fits of abstraction. cuAPTEa m. "And travellers now, Tritbin tbat valley, Through tho rcd-titten windowy. see Voflt forms, tbat move fantnatically To a discordant malody ; ¦ While, like ft rapid, ghastly river, Through the palo door A hideoug throng rush out forever. And laugh—but amile no more." Edqar A. Poe, Again it was Emily's birlh-day. Gifts in greater profusion than ever showered in upon her table. Friends sent the kindest little mis¬ sives, expressing sorrow for her failing health, and hoping that another year would find her re¬ stored to bloom and happiness. She read these with a bitter smile—bitterer than had ever be. fore curled that exquisite lip. When Walter's present came—this timo it wasa miniature of his own handaome face, sel wilh a double circle of tiny diamonds, in a locket—two nr three great tears rolled down her colorless cheeks, and fett upon hor gift. She brushed them gent¬ ly away, and putting the locket in her boaom, busied herself with arranging vaaes of exotics for tho parlors. Her parents had concluded to \ beguile tbeir own presentments and their daugh¬ ter's by making the day pass as joyously as possible; and a beautiful fete was to be the crowning event of ihe day, and to give brillian¬ cy to its close. Dancing, tableauz-vivants and an elegant supper were to be the principal events of tbe evening. Emily was still arranging the boquets wben that hour of the twenty-four occurred in which Flush had made his appearance the preceding year. Again the door-bell rang. She began to ishiver all over, turned deathly wfaile and sank down upon a chair. Her mother, who was in lhe apariment, observed her and ran to her in alarm. " What is thc mailer, my child !" At thia moment the door unclosed, and Emi¬ ly uttered a loud shriek. A servant had brought in a cluster of japonicas from the old bachelor across the way. Was ihat all—the color rusfa¬ ed back into the girl's ckeek, she ceased to tremble, but burst into hysteritJal tears, and laughter. It was soraetimo beioro sfae-bould compose herself so as to beg faer mother's par' don for her foolishness. As aoon as it was night out of doors the false day of the mansion began. Lighu shone and sparkled ihrough the suites of lavishly adorned Bparimenia. After Emily waa dressed she ap- peared to recover her former cheerfulness and beauty. A robo of white tulle floated in cloud- like gracefnhieaa arouud her slender figure—a rich, roseate tint hovered upon her cheeke and lipa—« .daaaling amile. dimpled and' fliabeci Abbott looked on wiih.unfeigned;pleasure, de- Inding themselves wilh the vain thought that their idol was very happy. Dancing went on among tfae young people with easy and polished joyousness. He had not intended to allow his daughter to join iti this amusement, but she wished to do so and he yielded to hor persua¬ sion. She glided through the stately cotillions so much like a winged spirit that it seemed no efiort, and as his only fear was that sfae. would. heat her blood or excite heraeli too much, he thought it might be as well lo let faer dance. After supper, thelarge room in which the ta¬ ble was sei, was cleared out and prepared for the exhibition of the "tableaux vivants." Sev¬ eral ol theso were very fine. The beautiful girla and accomplished yoimg men looked often to be the very persona ihey were representing. Walter and Emily were to appear logether in the old and yet ever new Romeo and Juliet.— The curtain was down, and Everybody waa laughing and chatting during the few moments of waiting, when suddenly it was torn aside, and Emily appeared before the spectatora—not as Juliet in her coflin, but with both hands out¬ stretched, her thin tulle dtees torn down the ekin, her eyea dilated with a wild and dreary terror. Was this play, or was thia reality ?— Oh, God ! this was not play. " Save ! save me !" ahe screamed in s sharp, loud tono. "Fattier! mother! Flush has re- umed to make rae mad at last! Do you seel- here—where he has torn rae !" She pointed to her dress—her eyes rolled around her until ihey met her father's. Oh, ray father .' save rae from him !" she cried, and, with a bound sho^reached his side and felt senseless into his arms. Her faour has come at last—go horae ! all of you, go horae.' You know not what you behold! My daughter ia aiAD !" Aghast and pale, lhe revellers shrank before tho look of agony in the'; Doctor's face. Flying to the dressing rooms, they hurried on their wraps, and departed, witfaout bidding good night to her who had received them with ao gay a face a few short hours before. They bore Emily to her chamber, where they tried Jong to resiore her to conBcioueness,— Moming broke before, by the use of hot water, friction and rauny expedients, they recalled her from her fearful trance to astill more fearful alate of excitement. She started up from faer bed. '• Will you not take Mm awey 7" ahe cried. ** Give me drink!" Dr. Abbott offered her a glass of water. A strong trembling shook her from head to fool.— She pushed it away, and turning her burning eyea to his, held up her finger. • "Hark! he is trying lo gel in! Keep him out! for heaven's sake keep hJm out! He is determfted to raake me mad. Bul, perhaps, he is not mad! and n'ever was—and has como to assure me that I am safe ! That is it—that is il ! Ha! ha! ha!—ha! ha! ha! to save rae, raoiher!" and ahe fell into convulsive laughing and weeping. ,^'Hark!" she said again, " Flush is at the door—lel him in." In the awfiil silence which followed her hysterical cry, someihing was in¬ deed heard at ihe chamber door, scratching— whining. The Iriends looked at each other.— Were lhey all becoming affected by this horri¬ ble insanity 1 Dr. Abbott went to the door and opened it a litlie, when, beiore he could thrust faim back, a dog, a lap-dog, small, preity, wilh a golden collar about his neck, leaped into tho room and upon the bed. " There ! I lold you! Flush—dear Flush !— I am saved ! Ha—ha—ba !" With several successive bursts of low, wild laughter, tho strength of the young girl gave way, and she sank again into syncope. The doubt tasted bul tt, moment—the blesaed truth burst upon the minds of those present, that this was none other than Flush, and there¬ fore he hod never been mad—and—like n chain of lightning flashed the train of thought which ended in the conviction of their darling's safety i as identical with that of Fluoh. ' It seems that the huge animal who had at-! lacked the tiny favoriie was the same as at first supposed, the surly dog of a nflighbor. With this his after sickness had nothing to do, but was one of thoae various diaterapera to which his race are subject, and which hod driven hira nearly to distraction upon the morning in wfaich he effected his unraannerly eacape irom the household, leaving such untold misery behind him. As he dashed recklessly up the road to¬ wards the city, he at leasl grew tired, snd lay dozing by the path, when a carriage passed by. whose occupaniB fell fashionably in love with the little fellow. They saw by his collar that he was property which had strayed away, and, laking him with ihom into the city, theyadver- lised him. No one claimed him. Months pass¬ ed on, and lhey began to feel as if he belonged tothem, when the young ladyof tfae family was invited lo Miss Abbott's birth-day fete. Flush, unperceived, crept into the carriage, and finding himself upon premises which were once familiar, he ventured out frora under tfae cushions and tracked his way into the hall, frora thence into Emily's boudoir, where he stood peeping out, when she hastened in to get something for Juli¬ et's toilet. AU nervous persons oi poweriul imagination, who have had tfae one weakened .and the other strengthened by months of such foar and agony as Emily had lived, can conceive ihat the aud¬ den sight ot her loat dog would completely un¬ settle what little nerve she had left. That whicfa her parents had mistaken for the first stages of hydrophobia was only strong hysterics —dangerous aomewhat frora tbe enfeebled con¬ dition of her physical powers. But, ofa ! what a relief from the tong anguiah of apprehension. She lay ill for sorae tirae, but finally recovered enlirely from the shock she had sustained, through the judicious care of her father.

Atkins' Self-Raking Reaper.—This ma¬ chine wos in successful operation on lhe farm of, B. B. Kirtland, Greenbush, on Wedneaday and Thursday of last woek, and elicited the appro¬ bation of every one who saw it. It is impossi¬ ble to convey in words any idea of the mechani¬ cal construction of the raking attachment. The cutting apparatus does not differ materially frora that of other reapers, but at regular intervals an arm, to which a rako is attached, extend, itself to the farther pan of the apron, slowly draws itself lhe length of the apron pressing the grain against a plate, where it holds it till it swings around a quorter of a circlo, clear of the ma¬ chine, and coolly deposits its neal sheaf on the ground, when it immediately returns to repeat the process. The machine is not of heavier draught, apparently, than other Tnacbinea-and it does its cutting fully equal to any reaper we hava seen work. While it has no superior as a practical thing, it is a curiosity worlh quite a pil¬ grimage to see. It comes the nearest to being insttnct wiih life, and manifealing signs of intel¬ ligence of any piece of mechanisra, not except¬ ing the steam engine.

The Country, July, 1853: Dear Sir :—Did you never feel the difference beiween a rainy day in the city and one in the couniry t For my part I know nothmg mora perceptible. I always have one set of sensa¬ tions for a rainy day on tfae farm, and another set for a rainy day in town. Doubtless, this is ow¬ ing partly to education, and partly to the con- tiasi in the respective appearance of things. Ii's worth one's while to noiice how we regard cer¬ tain ihinga, even il wo can't exactly explain tfae reason. For instance, I experience regulariy a curious mental pfaenomena on Sunday. Proba¬ bly many oifaera do the same. Sunday seeras to me a day literally.cut off frora tho other six days ofthe week, and haloed with a certain, peculiar, sacred atraosphere. It feels like a kind of distinct Preaence—aa if the hand of God was apread over a definite portion of time, or raiher over a portion of the earth, inaking it holy. Tfais sensation I'v felt, on each return¬ ing Sunday, since I've known how to dis i inga iah the day. Something analogous to tfais, tfaough, ofcourse, different, I experience on rainy days; but this experience differs, as I've intimated, as I am in the city or on the farm. The city pro- senis, usually, about the same phase—ita in¬ tense and changeless individuality. It may rain or shine, bul it is the city still. On the other hand, the country has hs phases of peculiar change—of glory and of gloora. Il's stern, fierce Wintera—it's vernal buds and breezes- its Summer luxuriance—its gorgeous and trium¬ phal Autumn. Ono day il may be tfae incarna¬ tion of joy and beauty, the next it may wail and weep in the gloora ol clouda and the noise of storms. It may rain in the city, yet things go on about the same- Thero is the same everlasting clatter of omnibuses-the same openitg and closingof shops—tfae same anxious, nervous hsste in the tower streets—the aarae show oflife and labor about the wharves—the same gay parlors up¬ town. To be sure, the sidewalks are not quile 90 gaudy with animated and moving show-cases ¦not quite so many splendid Mrs. Potiphars roll by—the great blocks of brick and atone look more dreary—the facea ofthe shop-keepers are not quite so radiant—the poorand destitute look more weary and forlorn—still ships come and go —banks transact their silent business—men play their games of trade, and count their gains— theatres parade their shows—and knaves perpe¬ trate thoir ohaniR—ond all along thc shores, and in tho city's 'heorl, tho young iind o'ld ply their trades; ond;raighty machinea aro built, or, being built, assist in the creation of others raore be¬ nificent and gigantic than themaelves. How differenl a rainy day on the farm,—work entirely suspended, or, at least, turned into another channel—the easy and indifferent movement of the working-men—the new aspect of nature—a difierent flow of feeling setting in upon the heart and a new train of thought gliding quietly througfa the raind. There are, you know, a varieiyof rainy days. There are days when it just drizzles—wfaen the weather like a sluttish house-maid, keeps up a continual alop, without accomplishing anything. There are days when showers alternate with sunshine—a kind of beautiful coquetry of tears smiles and rainbows. There are days when it threatens a second deluge continuallv and ends in a sputter, with a glorious sunset after it.— There ore days when a thunder-storm, in the abandon oi its wealth, makes the corn-fields great mortar-beds, and transforms the meadows into reeking swamps. Then there are days when the skies keep up such an incessant and relentless pouring, as if they wanied to finish their wet-work for the aeason nil at a time.' With each of these days, the experience onthe form differs. Tho boys and men like some of them, and some are more dreaded than dog-days, On one of these drizzling days, for instance, somo farmers will have their hands mending rail fences or patching up atone-walls all day. Oih- ers..feoI bound to getup the sheep, as sure as j there comes up a shower, and they seera to en¬ joy the discorafori of the men, as they befoul therasetves by sorting and handling the wel and dirty flock. Sorae farraers arecruel enough, on tbese watery days, to set their laborers at weed¬ ing turnips—or still raore merciless, send them into the dripping fields to pull cockle, or to cut burdock and Canada thistles. How the de¬ lightful visions of fishing are dispelled, when orders like these come as a doom to the patient fellows, who had flattered their lancies with the expecied pleasures of the next rainy day. How many disappointments of thia kind are suffered. How many wade tfarougfa fields of wet grain, when lhey wish to be wading in a trout stream. How many pull up noxious weeds with, aching fingers, instead of pulling up the silvery-glan¬ cing pickerel. Those who are acquainted witfa the country, know very wellof the corn shelled, the flax dressed.the beans threshed,the bar- posts raorliaed, the barn-yards scraped, on tfaese sullen, misty, rainy days—some, too, know it to their sorrow. But there is another side to ihe picture, foy some of these daya are the raost agreeable in the^year- It is not aZioays martyrdom when it rains. Fhere is often a great deal of quiet link, ering in the ahop, ol jusl enough iniereat to keep theone engaged—^histling. There nre long, amiable talks in the barn. There are pleasani gatherings at the blacksmith's and at the store' whore old stories are reproduced with renewed applause, and tho weather generously discussed. There are glorious naps on the hay-mow, and profound calculations in chalk made on the barn-door. Fish-lines are twisted, and nets are knit. A great many knives are swapped, and a great many ball-clubs mado. Soraeiiraes a colt is broke, and soraotimes a cock-fight is got up. Then there are long hours of pleasant reading in the house. A new acrap-book is made, and the neglected correspondenco renew¬ ed. Towards night, perhapa aome of tfae fami¬ ly corae home with such a splendid string oj fish, ae to take the boys the rest of the day to dreas them. In occupations like these the rainy days wear away on the farm. I amuse myself eometimes, on rainy daya, in looking round on the occupations of ihe different membersof the family hero at home.- Wfaat conclusions I arrive at are my own, but I'll teli you tfao premises from which I draw them.— Here ia ono young fellow, busy beiween two piles of Harper and Putnam, wfaicfa he enjoys alternately. Ono is profoundly immersed in maihematical calculus, and when tired of that, goea patiently at his perspective drawing. One is rigging up his fishing tackle, preparatory to some distant excursion, and when througfa, dips inlo ** dream life," and then into Comua.— Anoifaer is cfauckiiug comfortably, for the fif¬ ieenih iime, over JDon Quixote. Another, ina quiet corner, is immersed in the sparkling pa- ges of Maculay, while the old gentleman is di- viduag his time between the Timea andlhe Eve¬ ning Poat. There is no loud noise in the houae. The BiillnoBs seems a sort of Sabbath repose.- Tfae old willow droops down its arms so solemn¬ ly ; tho vines haogabout the window with sucfa ft tbooghtiiil fbtd*; thsioandfl bU Mim k muf¬ fled, even when any one moye.e about.,: Nobody laughe loud nobody talks loud. It seems like an agreement—this prevaiiing sobriety. It's pe¬ culiar, but not offensive. -1 always liked it, and do atill. Glorious rainy days of boyhood! I shall never forget my pleaaure at. their coming* What books I devoured then. What quantities of foolscap I scribbled. What gorgeous dreams I built up In the cloud-land of cloudy days. Glorious rainy days! I look back upon tfaem as upon " spots where angel feet have stepped.'.' Wiihin thoir drapery of gloom, were embowered tfae sweet kernels of early joy. They aeem to me noto hke illumined places, cosy and sacred, far away somewhere in the darkness. Whai loving presences filled them, and made them royal. How, the chivalry, of Scott trooped tfarough their quiet vistas. How tho~ witchery of Cooper arched them with glorious'skies, and peopled them wilh the fresh and glowing life of the West. How ihey echoed with tfae Inugfa- terof Cervantes, and mourned with tho maniac grief of Lear. Glorious rainy days! that led rae into so many places whore shines a light more subtle than the sun, and that introduced me loso many of the nobleandihe good,ifaat forever dwell in tfae white tonls of the heart. —, ¦ ¦¦ - ^>.^^(» — The Stump-Tail Cow.—A good many years ago a man stole a cow from Morristown, N. J., and drove her to Philadelpfaia, for sale. Sfae was a comraon cow enougfa, except thatahe had lost her tail but about six inches. The thief, fearing that by the shortness of her tail fae might be traced, had procured in sorae way, probably frora a slaughter-house, another cow's tall, which be fastened so ingeniously to the short tail, lhat it would not be known that it had not regularly grown there. As soon aa the Jerseyman missed his cow, he set offto Philadelpfaia, thinking she would pro¬ bably be cairied there for sale, and it happened thai when fae came to the ferry, he got into the small boat that was carrying over his cow and the fellow wfao stole her. As it was quite natural that he should have his thoughts very mucfa upon cows, he soon began to look av this one witb great aiteniion. She was, indeed, very much like his cow, fae thougfat, Hor marks agreed wonderfully, and she had pxactly the same expression ot face, but then, thc expression of her lail was so very different. It mual be aupposed that the new owner of tho cow felt ratfaer uncomfortable during tfae examination, fer he soon aaw this was the person wfaose prop¬ erty he had stolen, and he was very uneasy lest fae should take hold ofher tail, which he looked at so continually. Uponthe wfaole he ihoughi it best to divert his attention in some way, jf possible, and iherefore steps up to him and says :— " Neighbor, that's a fine cow of mine, won't you buy her ? You seem to know what a good cowis." *' Oh, dear me," aaya the other, " I've just had a cow stolen from me." *' Well," says the thief, *' I'm sorry to hear lhat they've got to stealing cattle, but I'll sell off, and you could not belter replace your loss than by buying this cow ; I'd warrant she's as good as yours!" '• Why," says the Jerseyman, '* she was ex¬ actly like tfais one, only thnl she hod no tail, to speak of, and if this one had not such a long tail, I'd awear it waa my cow." Everybody now began to look at the cow's tail, but the thief stood nearerto it than anybody, i and taking hold of it so as just to cover tbe; splicing witfa his left hand, and with a jack- knife in his right, pointing to the tall, he sa id : " So, if this cow's tail were only this long you'd swear ahe was youra?" " That I would _!" aaid the other, wtio began lo be very much confuaed at the perfeel resem¬ blance to his cow, except in thia one particular, wfaen the thief, with a sudden cut of hia knife, took offihe tail just aboui an inch above the splicing, and, throwing it overboard, bloody as it was, turned to tha other and said : *' Now, swear its your cow!" The bewilderment of the poor man was now complete, but as he had seen the tail cut off, and saw the blood trickling from it, he could, ofcourse, lay no claim to lhe animal, from the shortness oftho tail; indeed, here was proof poaitivfl than this waa not his cow, so the ihief going over with him sold -i.. ._«? wiinoui any .further fear of detection. _^_.El^t Teachers Wanted.

HYDROPHOBIA.
BY METTA VICTORIA FULLER.
CBi.PTEE 1. Like a lady's ringlets brown, Flows thy silken ears adown,
Either aide demurely, Of thy silrer suited breast, I
Shining out from all the rest i
Of thy body purely. I
Leap ! thy broad tail waves a light; Loap • thy slender feet are bnght. .
Connopicd in fringes, |
Leap ! those tasselled ears of thine Flicker strangply. fair and fine,
Down thoir golden ioches.
Mns. Crownino. " It will be strange," said Emily Abbott, on lhe afiernoon of her aixteenih birihday, " if Walter brings me no gift to-day. Papa has surprised me with thia beauiiful rose-wood lurniture for my sleeping room, and mamma too purchased those elegant roses from Valen- tina's—all my friends have remembered me, as these books and dresses and boqueta wilt teatify —all but Walter; and I'd ralher have ever so peutet a ww a httle a souvenir from him than all these heaps jjjjrribic death! of nice things, except the gifts of my parenis." p„;r.. „v,..jj_
At thia moment a servant brought in a small package which had been left at the door " for Miss Emily."
"This must be from Walter at last." ex claimed the young lady, as ehe haaiily untied the envelope.
'* Ah! how magnificent!" she cried, as her gaze fell upon a Geneva watch of the moet ex-, quiaite workmanship, and witb a chain of pearls j strung with gold attached. The expression of| her glowing countenance changed fls she read the note which accompanied thiscostfy present, "It is not Walter's present," she sighed.
And two-thirda her pleasure in its beauty was gone, tor it came from a designing old bachelor who lived across the street—who fell in love anew with every youthful lorm and smthng face —who quite persecuted th'ia really lovely young girl—and whom the petted child disliked exceed' ingly.
Laying the liny watch disdainfully upon the lable, she strayed to the window and looked thoughtfully oul, not at the palace of the pre¬ sumptuous old bachelor wuh ita marble steps and plate glass windowa—her brilliant hazel eyes followed the gay tide-of people sweeping by in sleigha to the swift tune oi tinkling bells. Yet sho scarcely saw them, so preoccupied was her raind with wondering why her couain Wal¬ ter, of all others, should not even send her a note of congratulation upon this eventful day ; of which they were both speaking the preceding evening, when he had said, with an earnest look which made her blush wilh diffident delight, " You will no longer be a child, but a woman, Emily." As she remained by the window, for the twentieth time since morning, the servant who waited upon the door bcll appeared within the apartment with tbe same brief—'Mor Misa Emily." He held something in his arms wrap¬ ped up in a Sllk handkerchief. The young girt; approached wilh great curiosity to ascertain thc contents of lhe bundle, which announced itself without ceremony, by an impatient sharp little bark, to be a lap dog.
" Oh you darling creature '. you dear Htlle fel¬ low!" exclaimed the young lady, as she took offhis wrappings and stood him down upon the carpet.
It waa one of the rarest and most diminutive of his race. All lovers of his kind would affirm that he was a "perfect beauty." He wore a gold collar heavy and as rich as a lady's bracelet, upon which was inscribed
FLUSH,
The Faithful Bog of Emily. A biliet was atiached to his ribbon in Wal¬ ter's beloved hand-writing praying his cousin to
accept his humble gift, which he hoped would
be to her so constant a companion and so faith¬ ful a friend that she would perceive in it some¬ thing of the tastes and desires of the givBr.—
The note farther stated that " Fluah " had been
named after Miss Barrett's immortalized pet;
thathe wasjust from Paris; and that there was
not another so fine alap dog inthe whole city_ "I am ready to believe that!" aaid his mis¬ tress, aa ahe stooped to raise him to her arms- His brown silken ears, his gentle eyes, his
liny proportions were to her subjects of wonder
and delight. The warm caresses she bestowed
upon him may have borrowed soma tenderness
from tnoughts of the giver oi the pretty creature.
He seemed lo confer more pleasure than all the
beautiful presents which lay upon the table. In
playfulness she detached tbe elegant chain from
the old bachelor's walch and fastening it to
"Flush's" neck, led him captive into the
presence of her moiher, by whom he waa very
much admired. " Now am I the happiest of girls •" repeated
Emily, softly to herself, as wearied with waltz¬ ing ten times around the parlors with Flush in
her arms, she deposited him upon the sofa and
turned to the large mirror to put £in place her
down-falling curls. If youth, health, love, wealth and heauty could I
make the child of aixteen £0 happy, itwas no
wonder. No face waa ever reflected in that
gilded mirror ao singularly beautitul as here— i
fair alike from its freshness, innocence, glowing
complexion and perfect tealures. The " winds
of heaven" hadnever visited it too roughly. The
tondness of parental affection had surrounded
the only daughter with such exceas of tender
indulgence thai had not the sweetness of her
inind and temper been almost meffable they
woutd have made of her a capricious mistress,
instead of the dutilul child she was. " The
happiest ot girls !" As she repeated this, looping at the same
lime an ebon curl back from her roseate cheek,
ber glance fell upon lhe reflection of her pet
upon the sola. She lurned quickly around and
gazed into the dog'a inhuman eyes. Those
eyes were like small ballaol £re, lurid, fixed and
threateniog, glaring upon her with ao Btrange an
expression that she shuddered and felt a cold
thrill striking to her heart. They seemed to
express the very intensity of malice and to soy
that she should never be happy again. She re¬ treated two or three steps nearer to the door un-
consciouily, impelled by a wish to escape from
(he lerriiying influence ol those eyes ; and yet not thinking of a certain danger which ahe might be incurring, and grieved that her new fivoritc should display so aurly a disposiiion she held out her hund, saying coaxingly—" Flush !" Immediately ibe dog sprang towards her wiih almost the bound ot a cat, and with so fierce a yeip lhat she, too, sprung and placed ibe haU door between herteU and her furious little eaemy.
"1 declare I will never love you, you cross litile rascal!" said Emily, teare ol vexation on her cheeks aa she recoveied Irom her fright, and gently unclosing iho door peeped in and saw Fluah lying ai his ease on the rug, hie old good- natured expression reiurned, and oeeming dis¬ posed to dpOri with the chain that waa danulmg around his feel in glittering links of pearls and gold. I
His sudden ht of ferocity made her very cau-1 tious in her advanced ; so ihai ii was some mm¬ utes beiore she gamed confidence to approach the rug and kneel down upon it and pat his nil- ken head, and reprove him in her musical tones ior his naughiinesa.
** You will be sent back to your maaier, or kept upon a diet of skimmed milk if ever you behave lu auch a manner again. You have made me laugh and cry, and given me flttcb a' Iright that I shall dream ubout it. Vou looked i raucb more like an evil apini than liko " the ' lailhful dog of Emily," a that collar ao flatter-' ingly saya. Now, sit, what have you lo aay for youtseu I"
Flush rubbed hui nose afiectionately againsi her haud, looking up inlo her face with eyes aa meek as ihough ihey were incapable of any more fierce lighl. He seemed silently begging her pardon tor his fit of ill temper, and she so soon forgave him thai when ihe tea-bell rang, she had decided to give him his aupper then and for¬ ever after upun a plate of rare old porcelain which had hitherto been her own peculiar prop¬ erty.
That evening Walter Abbott come in and found her with Flush nestled on her shoulder, playing, with her shining cuflsand biting the freah flowers which adorned them. Walter al. though b£ariii£ tbe lumei family name, was but a very distant :JtoIaU?e of Emily; but he had
ship, which wa« not diaapproved by the parenie of either, took reiuge under the title of '* com. in." Pleased that the beautiful girl thought bo ^ 1 well of hia gift, ho waa yet a littlejealonflof' the almost exclusive attontion which.ehe bestow¬ ed upon it. She related to him-wliata savage disposition the tiny animal had already'ahdwn; her cousin laughed ather reireating before a puny dog, and attributcd'his ill tumor to the fact of his being amid strangers,-adding:
'' But it will not be long until he ia as devoted as the rest of your friends. Sae! how lovingly he is crouched upon yoor Bhonlder.*'
Her father. Dr. Abbott, who had a groat aver¬ sion to the whole canine race, looked over hia spectacles with no friendly eyes upon the hand- some pet; he could not bear roaee it inhb daughter's arms or npon her neck. If ebe would allow it to remain where it belonged, upon tho carpet, he would not care; but to see Emily careasiDg that senseless thing, when there waa BO many more reasonable creatures who prized her caressea" obove all gold, was exceedingly out of tasle. When abe came as usual and perched upon his knea, he caused her to leave poor Flush upon an ottoman—he should not prize her tenderness very highly, he said, ifhe waa 10 see so much lavished npon a lap-dog.— "Oh, but father, he's^ucA a darling; just feel of his dainty ears and remark how very, very pret¬ ty he is—how delicate, how nice, and wilh wbat an intelligent look V
"Yes! yes!" said the Doctor; impatiently, "H wasjusi such a beauty that ran mad in Alias Spencer's lap, and caused that poor girl a most
hini aware of evil news. When he came to know what that news really was, the depth of lhe passion he cherished for hta cousin became apparent in the violence ofhia grief.
looped her shining hair—she looked all ethereal lightness, brightness,and loveliness. .
She received her guests with so animated a countenance that all felt disposed to enjoy tbem
'Fool! fool thatl waa to cnrae her with [aelvea who entered the rooms. Mr.'and Mrs.
Emily shuddered. She thought of the fiery eyes that had startled her a few houra previous¬ ly and the same cold thrill airuck back to her heart. She knew that her father had good rea¬ aon to dislike dogs since his attendance upon the death-bed of a young lady who had suffered all the inconceivable horrors of Hydrophobia.— The stern man who could attend to all the often terrible dutiea of his profesaion without a quiver of his well-controlled nerves, had come from lhat acene of distress and madness, with an in¬ vincible aversion to the race of animals who eo frequently infiict upon man the pangs of their fearful malady. Sho was almoat tempted io re¬ nounce her dog; but another glance at him aa ho lay like a ball of glossy silken floss at her feet, overcame the resolution and made her more in love with him than ever.
From lhat time forward Flush was Emily's constant companion. He slept upon her bed at night and laid at her feet or in her lap by day.— Yet ahe never forgot lhat strange and sudden Aorror lhat had startled her soui for one brief moment, upon meeting those lurid eyes the first day of bis coming. When she had said to her¬ self so confidently—" now am I the happiest of girls," that malignant gaze had said, almost as plainly—"you shall never be happy again."— He had no more such outbreaks of spite; it was principally in her dreams that the memory of that liltle scene recurred—visions made hateful by the glare of fiery eye-balls came to be com¬ mon viaitors of her sleep. Thia may have been merely n habit, or the result of eating delicate suppers too late in the evening, or the want o^ taking sufficient exercise.
If the latter reason, then Emily may have ex¬ pected soon to be rid of her troublesome night¬ mares when summer came, and her famiiy re¬ moved from thc close city to their beautiful home in tha counlry. Here she almoat ran wild with the freedom of her playful life. Her gam¬ bols exceeded in merriment thoso of the indo¬ lent and aristocratic lap dog. He followed her from room to room, to the garden, the grove, the grape arbor, the river, the lawn, but it was with rather a listless and disconcerted air. Some¬ timea he threw aside his petit dignity and en¬ joyed it as highly as his mistress, when she wreathed him round and round with violets, and almost buried him in huge roses.
Walter was studying law in town but the dis¬ tance was only a few miles, and he spenl his Sabbaths and holidays wiih his uncle, so that the summer was one of gayety and youthful en¬ joyment lothe loyely Emily.
CHAPTER II.
Il was a sultry day in August. So very warm and oppressive was the weather that Emily had hard work to amuse herself. Music, books, and drawing, were all as a task ! she lounged upon the sofa in tbe coolest part of the house; bUt even lounging was heavy business. Finally she resorted to her favoriie seat under an elm, which spread its green arms far and wide, woo¬ ing whatever breeze stole acrops the lawn.— Here, with a dreaming sort of a volume which could be read without much effort, she was wearing away the golden, but burning afternoon, when her attention was suddenly attracted by the distressed cry of her pet, who had bounded away from her a few moments before towards tbe road which skirted the lawn. Looking up she beheld poor Flush in the power of a large dog, who was learing him to pieces unmerciful¬ ly. Emily echoed his cry of distress as she flew to the rescue ot her tiny friend. Before she reached the spot the larger brute had trotted off, leaving his victim bleediug and torn upon thc ground.
He turned his eyes imploringly upon his mis¬ tress, who with lears and lamentations bore him into the house and had hia wounda carefully dressed. For many days he lay upon his little bed unable to frohc with his gleeful owner, who cherished him with tender care. At length he grew quite well again, and was ablo to run wilhout limping, a gay attendant of the-charm¬ ing girl wJio was made only to be petted, and to have beautiful pels. Tbe mischievous dog who attacked him was supposed to be a certain surly dog of a neighboring farmer, who made it his especial business to fall upon and mjure every member of his race whom he chanced to en¬ counter, unless they were his superiors in strength and ferocity.
After an inierval ofa few weeks, Fluah be¬ gan to droop ; he lost his appetite, grew thin, his silken coat lost sorae of its glossiness—he waa evidently ill. In vain Emily concerned her¬ self about him ; he would not eat, even out of her delicate hand ; he would not play qr follow her fleet footsteps aa was his wont; but would lie sluggishly in her lap for hours. The young girl besought her faiher,to prescribe ior him, bul ho always said "tush !" and added that the only medicine he needed was a bullet, or a dose of poison. A bullet ! a doae of poison ! Emi¬ ly would almost aa soon have ihought of apply¬ ing such remediea to a sick infant, so' precious to her was her devoted and pretty favorite, who seemed indeed now to be the " faithful dog of Emily."
About three weeks after this failure of his heallh, Emily one day heard Flush tearing about ihrough her boudoir in a manner that ex cited her wonder. Entering, she saw him dash¬ ing against the window and falling back upon her pots of choice flowers, crushing them ina woful manner. He did not perceive her -for a moment; when ho did, he ran towards her, foaming at the mouth, his eyes a dull, lurid red, his tail sweeping the floor* She spoke to him but he did not recognize her voice ; ahe held oul her white hand and he sprang upon i flicttng a deep wound upon the palm.
'* Flush!" she shook him ofi", exclaiming with a horror-stricken face— " The dog is mad !—is mad !" He fled from the room, but it waa too late ; too late, indeed ! for there upon her delicate palm was the bleeding imprint ofhis poisonous fanga. Flush dashed by her as she ran into the parlor and darling down the lawn disap¬ peared up.ihe road. Terror and tmguish filled thc house. " Oh 1 where is your father (" cries Mrs. Abbott, wringing her handa and gazing in a dis- tracted manner upon that beautiful and beloved child now threatened with so frightful a doom. "Where IS your lather? he might do some- woMd"*"^^^" ^^^ 'consequences of this dreadful Alas ! he isin ifae city," repUed EmUy, more calmthan her mother, bm leaning color- less againsi the wall, overcome by the audden calamity which had befallen her.
A servant was despatched for him in the greaiest haste. It was of course aeveral houra before Dr. Abbott arrived, and in the meantime noihing had beei done for the child, except to bathe the WOOD'S with cold salt and waur.
The distreaa of the father was wordloBs and inexpressible. None could tell from the stern composure ol his pale brow the sickness thai was at his heart. AU his study and experience aa a physician tended to confirm him in the beliafl that the malady which threatened his daughter was incurable; that altboaghjudiciotis treatment often deferred the evil day, yet its sometime coming wai mevitable.
That evening, the day being SatanUy, Wal¬ ter ^ame oai to ^end the time~ natil Mbsdiajr ppraiDg. Th» Nd;fwe0 wbiob ost biia ludp-,
such a gift!" he cried in the bitterness of self- reproach. He could not endure that any one' sbould witoess his emotion, but rushing out in¬ to the cool night-air, he paced up and down with hasty steps. In halfan faour he returned to where his affianced was reclining, pale and nervous upon the sofa.
" Oh ! Emily," he said, in a choking voice, "dear Emily, if it had only been me ."
" You shall not talk in that manner, unlesa you wish to add to my troubles. We can bear anything, Walter, if we have faith and patience, And I do not think thia will prove so very bad. Papa, you know, is so very skillfull, that I can place myself in his hands witbout much fear of the result.'
The sweetness wilh which lhe young girl satd this ; the courageous attempt she made to smile, and the love which lighted up her exqui¬ site features, threw Waller into new agony.— He bowed his head on his hands, while his frame shook visibly. Her liilher, who had heard the last sentence, groaned aloud, and her mother's tears became mingled with sobs.
" You are all determined lo double my afilic- tions, instead of setting me an example of forti¬ tude. I cannot endure it—indeed I cannoi—to Bee you all so unhappy ;" and rising from the lounge, Emily went to ttie piano, and sang in a clear but somewhat tremulous voice, " He doeth alt ihings well."
She had never looked moro lovely than she did then. A rich crimson took for a few mo¬ ments the place of paleness on her round and velvet cheek—it was impossible to believe (hat the rich tide which linged her radiant complex¬ ion waa becoming imbued with the seeda ofa fearful madness.
Hope almost inspired the hearts ofher parents while listening to her sweet voice dwelling up¬ on those beautiful words. A creature so youth¬ ful, ao beautiful and so adored could not be snatched from life and happiness in such a cruel manner. Yet oihers as young, as beautiful, as adored, had been taken away. The hour carae for retiring to rest, and ihen poor Emily felt that her happiness was gone. She couldnot go to ber couch, as she hitberto done, and lay her fearless head upon a pillow blessed with sweet steep and sweeter dreams. Phantoms of horror now inhabited her chamber, and the companion she moal dreaded would there be alone with her—thai companion was heraelf. She feared her own ihoughta and dreaded her dreams, she shrank trom the consciousness of what she was; already her pulse and brain seemed to he dis¬ eased—she fled from the idea that every heart¬ throb brought her nearer lo insanity, convul- sions and death. A cot bed was prepared in her parents' apartment,audplaced so near to them, that by reaching out her hand she could touch her mother's dear face and galher comfort from her nearness.
Within two days the family started for a wa¬ ter-cure eatablishment. The wound in Emily's hand was not painful any longer, and seemed about to heal. Dr. Abbott was resolved that all lhat science and skill could do should be done. He commenced immediately reading everything that had ever been written upon hydrophobia, in his own country or the world. He lound some French journals treating of the subject, which gave him some hope that, did the mad¬ ness manifest itself, he should be able to subdue His great object waa to keep her from all exciiement, lo secure her mind from agitation and her pulse from fever. In the establishmeni to which they went there was an abundance of good society—cheerful, intelligenl and refined. With this sociely Emily was encouraged to mingle. Walks, rides, music, pleasant conver¬ sation were used to while away her hours and direct her thoughts. Every day she took two vapor baths. Every one regarded the lovely young invalid with interest. To none, except the presiding phyaician, waa confided the secret of her illness. Most people supposed her to be consumptive, for her step had began lo grow languid and her cheek thin. Daily, at the hour; in which ahe encountered her distressing acci¬ dent, a slight fever colored her face and burned in her large, dark eye ; she would be restless, nervous, unhappy, and it required all the ort and affection of her friends to prevent her fal¬ ling into melancholy reveries. Walter, who had tried in vain to pursue his studies and be satisfied with written accounts of her health, becoming to anxious too mind ony other consid¬ erations, had followed the family, and wos a con¬ stant, indefatigable shadow who hovered about her path. Strangers regarded his evident pas¬ sion with respect and sympaihy, when they look¬ ed upon the object ofii and beheld her so beau¬ tiful yet so lading.
Weeks rolled by and no symptoms of the dreadeddisease appeared. Yet the young girl con. tinued to fade, and her father resolvedio change the manner of their life and experiment upon travelling. All piacea of beauty and interest were visited tbat lay wjihin the range of North¬ ern travel; they only returned to their house in the city -r/hen the cold weather made it unpleas¬ ant to be any longer away from horae.
Emily was but the shadow of her former rose¬ ate self. Yet as there seemed nothing to dread except this mysterious decline, hope began fee¬ bly to light up the sad countenances of her parents.
Knowing herself to bo the object of such painful solicitude, the young girl endeavored lo conceal her real dejection in fitful starts of.gay- ety, so wild, so unnatural, as to be more alarm"- ing than the deepest melancholy. There was someihing mocking in thc sound of her sweet laugh, and unreal in the kindling light of her dark eye, which struck despair to those affec¬ tionate hearta beating faat with love and appre¬ hension.
Walter's spirits, and even health, were affec¬ ted by the intensity of his solicitude. His stu¬ dies became a eenseleas task, and the house of his uncle was haunted by him. He hovered, shadow like, around his affianced; sighed at her immoderate mirth, and stJllmore deeply at her fits of abstraction.
cuAPTEa m. "And travellers now, Tritbin tbat valley,
Through tho rcd-titten windowy. see Voflt forms, tbat move fantnatically
To a discordant malody ; ¦ While, like ft rapid, ghastly river,
Through the palo door A hideoug throng rush out forever. And laugh—but amile no more."
Edqar A. Poe, Again it was Emily's birlh-day. Gifts in greater profusion than ever showered in upon her table. Friends sent the kindest little mis¬ sives, expressing sorrow for her failing health, and hoping that another year would find her re¬ stored to bloom and happiness. She read these with a bitter smile—bitterer than had ever be. fore curled that exquisite lip. When Walter's present came—this timo it wasa miniature of his own handaome face, sel wilh a double circle of tiny diamonds, in a locket—two nr three great tears rolled down her colorless cheeks, and fett upon hor gift. She brushed them gent¬ ly away, and putting the locket in her boaom, busied herself with arranging vaaes of exotics for tho parlors. Her parents had concluded to \ beguile tbeir own presentments and their daugh¬ ter's by making the day pass as joyously as possible; and a beautiful fete was to be the crowning event of ihe day, and to give brillian¬ cy to its close. Dancing, tableauz-vivants and an elegant supper were to be the principal events of tbe evening.
Emily was still arranging the boquets wben that hour of the twenty-four occurred in which Flush had made his appearance the preceding year. Again the door-bell rang. She began to ishiver all over, turned deathly wfaile and sank down upon a chair. Her mother, who was in lhe apariment, observed her and ran to her in alarm. " What is thc mailer, my child !" At thia moment the door unclosed, and Emi¬ ly uttered a loud shriek. A servant had brought in a cluster of japonicas from the old bachelor across the way. Was ihat all—the color rusfa¬ ed back into the girl's ckeek, she ceased to tremble, but burst into hysteritJal tears, and laughter. It was soraetimo beioro sfae-bould compose herself so as to beg faer mother's par' don for her foolishness.
As aoon as it was night out of doors the false day of the mansion began. Lighu shone and sparkled ihrough the suites of lavishly adorned Bparimenia. After Emily waa dressed she ap- peared to recover her former cheerfulness and beauty. A robo of white tulle floated in cloud- like gracefnhieaa arouud her slender figure—a rich, roseate tint hovered upon her cheeke and lipa—« .daaaling amile. dimpled and' fliabeci
Abbott looked on wiih.unfeigned;pleasure, de- Inding themselves wilh the vain thought that their idol was very happy. Dancing went on among tfae young people with easy and polished joyousness. He had not intended to allow his daughter to join iti this amusement, but she wished to do so and he yielded to hor persua¬ sion. She glided through the stately cotillions so much like a winged spirit that it seemed no efiort, and as his only fear was that sfae. would. heat her blood or excite heraeli too much, he thought it might be as well lo let faer dance.
After supper, thelarge room in which the ta¬ ble was sei, was cleared out and prepared for the exhibition of the "tableaux vivants." Sev¬ eral ol theso were very fine. The beautiful girla and accomplished yoimg men looked often to be the very persona ihey were representing.
Walter and Emily were to appear logether in the old and yet ever new Romeo and Juliet.— The curtain was down, and Everybody waa laughing and chatting during the few moments of waiting, when suddenly it was torn aside, and Emily appeared before the spectatora—not as Juliet in her coflin, but with both hands out¬ stretched, her thin tulle dtees torn down the ekin, her eyea dilated with a wild and dreary terror. Was this play, or was thia reality ?— Oh, God ! this was not play.
" Save ! save me !" ahe screamed in s sharp, loud tono. "Fattier! mother! Flush has re- umed to make rae mad at last! Do you seel- here—where he has torn rae !"
She pointed to her dress—her eyes rolled around her until ihey met her father's.
Oh, ray father .' save rae from him !" she cried, and, with a bound sho^reached his side and felt senseless into his arms.
Her faour has come at last—go horae ! all of you, go horae.' You know not what you behold! My daughter ia aiAD !"
Aghast and pale, lhe revellers shrank before tho look of agony in the'; Doctor's face. Flying to the dressing rooms, they hurried on their wraps, and departed, witfaout bidding good night to her who had received them with ao gay a face a few short hours before.
They bore Emily to her chamber, where they tried Jong to resiore her to conBcioueness,— Moming broke before, by the use of hot water, friction and rauny expedients, they recalled her from her fearful trance to astill more fearful alate of excitement. She started up from faer bed.
'• Will you not take Mm awey 7" ahe cried. ** Give me drink!"
Dr. Abbott offered her a glass of water. A strong trembling shook her from head to fool.— She pushed it away, and turning her burning eyea to his, held up her finger. • "Hark! he is trying lo gel in! Keep him out! for heaven's sake keep hJm out! He is determfted to raake me mad. Bul, perhaps, he is not mad! and n'ever was—and has como to assure me that I am safe ! That is it—that is il ! Ha! ha! ha!—ha! ha! ha! to save rae, raoiher!" and ahe fell into convulsive laughing and weeping.
,^'Hark!" she said again, " Flush is at the door—lel him in." In the awfiil silence which followed her hysterical cry, someihing was in¬ deed heard at ihe chamber door, scratching— whining. The Iriends looked at each other.— Were lhey all becoming affected by this horri¬ ble insanity 1 Dr. Abbott went to the door and opened it a litlie, when, beiore he could thrust faim back, a dog, a lap-dog, small, preity, wilh a golden collar about his neck, leaped into tho room and upon the bed.
" There ! I lold you! Flush—dear Flush !— I am saved ! Ha—ha—ba !"
With several successive bursts of low, wild laughter, tho strength of the young girl gave way, and she sank again into syncope.
The doubt tasted bul tt, moment—the blesaed truth burst upon the minds of those present, that this was none other than Flush, and there¬ fore he hod never been mad—and—like n chain of lightning flashed the train of thought which ended in the conviction of their darling's safety i as identical with that of Fluoh. '
It seems that the huge animal who had at-! lacked the tiny favoriie was the same as at first supposed, the surly dog of a nflighbor. With this his after sickness had nothing to do, but was one of thoae various diaterapera to which his race are subject, and which hod driven hira nearly to distraction upon the morning in wfaich he effected his unraannerly eacape irom the household, leaving such untold misery behind him. As he dashed recklessly up the road to¬ wards the city, he at leasl grew tired, snd lay dozing by the path, when a carriage passed by. whose occupaniB fell fashionably in love with the little fellow. They saw by his collar that he was property which had strayed away, and, laking him with ihom into the city, theyadver- lised him. No one claimed him. Months pass¬ ed on, and lhey began to feel as if he belonged tothem, when the young ladyof tfae family was invited lo Miss Abbott's birth-day fete. Flush, unperceived, crept into the carriage, and finding himself upon premises which were once familiar, he ventured out frora under tfae cushions and tracked his way into the hall, frora thence into Emily's boudoir, where he stood peeping out, when she hastened in to get something for Juli¬ et's toilet.
AU nervous persons oi poweriul imagination, who have had tfae one weakened .and the other strengthened by months of such foar and agony as Emily had lived, can conceive ihat the aud¬ den sight ot her loat dog would completely un¬ settle what little nerve she had left. That whicfa her parents had mistaken for the first stages of hydrophobia was only strong hysterics —dangerous aomewhat frora tbe enfeebled con¬ dition of her physical powers. But, ofa ! what a relief from the tong anguiah of apprehension. She lay ill for sorae tirae, but finally recovered enlirely from the shock she had sustained, through the judicious care of her father. Poor Flush! he could nevermore be a pet with the Abbott family. They were grateful for his good sense in not going mad, but he exciied feelings and raemories loo terrible tobe endured. He was given lo the young lady who had found hira upon the road, and was to her a ** faithful" dog, though he never could be a " faithful dog to Emily."
Atkins' Self-Raking Reaper.—This ma¬ chine wos in successful operation on lhe farm of, B. B. Kirtland, Greenbush, on Wedneaday and Thursday of last woek, and elicited the appro¬ bation of every one who saw it. It is impossi¬ ble to convey in words any idea of the mechani¬ cal construction of the raking attachment. The cutting apparatus does not differ materially frora that of other reapers, but at regular intervals an arm, to which a rako is attached, extend, itself to the farther pan of the apron, slowly draws itself lhe length of the apron pressing the grain against a plate, where it holds it till it swings around a quorter of a circlo, clear of the ma¬ chine, and coolly deposits its neal sheaf on the ground, when it immediately returns to repeat the process. The machine is not of heavier draught, apparently, than other Tnacbinea-and it does its cutting fully equal to any reaper we hava seen work. While it has no superior as a practical thing, it is a curiosity worlh quite a pil¬ grimage to see. It comes the nearest to being insttnct wiih life, and manifealing signs of intel¬ ligence of any piece of mechanisra, not except¬ ing the steam engine.

A Eainy Day on the Farm.
The Country, July, 1853:
Dear Sir :—Did you never feel the difference beiween a rainy day in the city and one in the couniry t For my part I know nothmg mora perceptible. I always have one set of sensa¬ tions for a rainy day on tfae farm, and another set for a rainy day in town. Doubtless, this is ow¬ ing partly to education, and partly to the con- tiasi in the respective appearance of things. Ii's worth one's while to noiice how we regard cer¬ tain ihinga, even il wo can't exactly explain tfae reason. For instance, I experience regulariy a curious mental pfaenomena on Sunday. Proba¬ bly many oifaera do the same. Sunday seeras to me a day literally.cut off frora tho other six days ofthe week, and haloed with a certain, peculiar, sacred atraosphere. It feels like a kind of distinct Preaence—aa if the hand of God was apread over a definite portion of time, or raiher over a portion of the earth, inaking it holy. Tfais sensation I'v felt, on each return¬ ing Sunday, since I've known how to dis i inga iah the day. Something analogous to tfais, tfaough, ofcourse, different, I experience on rainy days; but this experience differs, as I've intimated, as I am in the city or on the farm. The city pro- senis, usually, about the same phase—ita in¬ tense and changeless individuality. It may rain or shine, bul it is the city still. On the other hand, the country has hs phases of peculiar change—of glory and of gloora. Il's stern, fierce Wintera—it's vernal buds and breezes- its Summer luxuriance—its gorgeous and trium¬ phal Autumn. Ono day il may be tfae incarna¬ tion of joy and beauty, the next it may wail and weep in the gloora ol clouda and the noise of storms.
It may rain in the city, yet things go on about the same- Thero is the same everlasting clatter of omnibuses-the same openitg and closingof shops—tfae same anxious, nervous hsste in the tower streets—the aarae show oflife and labor about the wharves—the same gay parlors up¬ town. To be sure, the sidewalks are not quile 90 gaudy with animated and moving show-cases
¦not quite so many splendid Mrs. Potiphars roll by—the great blocks of brick and atone look more dreary—the facea ofthe shop-keepers are not quite so radiant—the poorand destitute look more weary and forlorn—still ships come and go —banks transact their silent business—men play their games of trade, and count their gains— theatres parade their shows—and knaves perpe¬ trate thoir ohaniR—ond all along thc shores, and in tho city's 'heorl, tho young iind o'ld ply their trades; ond;raighty machinea aro built, or, being built, assist in the creation of others raore be¬ nificent and gigantic than themaelves. How differenl a rainy day on the farm,—work entirely suspended, or, at least, turned into another channel—the easy and indifferent movement of the working-men—the new aspect of nature—a difierent flow of feeling setting in upon the heart and a new train of thought gliding quietly througfa the raind.
There are, you know, a varieiyof rainy days. There are days when it just drizzles—wfaen the weather like a sluttish house-maid, keeps up a continual alop, without accomplishing anything. There are days when showers alternate with sunshine—a kind of beautiful coquetry of tears smiles and rainbows. There are days when it threatens a second deluge continuallv and ends in a sputter, with a glorious sunset after it.— There ore days when a thunder-storm, in the abandon oi its wealth, makes the corn-fields great mortar-beds, and transforms the meadows into reeking swamps. Then there are days when the skies keep up such an incessant and relentless pouring, as if they wanied to finish their wet-work for the aeason nil at a time.' With each of these days, the experience onthe form differs. Tho boys and men like some of them, and some are more dreaded than dog-days, On one of these drizzling days, for instance, somo farmers will have their hands mending rail fences or patching up atone-walls all day. Oih- ers..feoI bound to getup the sheep, as sure as j there comes up a shower, and they seera to en¬ joy the discorafori of the men, as they befoul therasetves by sorting and handling the wel and dirty flock. Sorae farraers arecruel enough, on tbese watery days, to set their laborers at weed¬ ing turnips—or still raore merciless, send them into the dripping fields to pull cockle, or to cut burdock and Canada thistles. How the de¬ lightful visions of fishing are dispelled, when orders like these come as a doom to the patient fellows, who had flattered their lancies with the expecied pleasures of the next rainy day. How many disappointments of thia kind are suffered. How many wade tfarougfa fields of wet grain, when lhey wish to be wading in a trout stream. How many pull up noxious weeds with, aching fingers, instead of pulling up the silvery-glan¬ cing pickerel. Those who are acquainted witfa the country, know very wellof the corn shelled, the flax dressed.the beans threshed,the bar- posts raorliaed, the barn-yards scraped, on tfaese sullen, misty, rainy days—some, too, know it to their sorrow.
But there is another side to ihe picture, foy some of these daya are the raost agreeable in the^year- It is not aZioays martyrdom when it rains. Fhere is often a great deal of quiet link, ering in the ahop, ol jusl enough iniereat to keep theone engaged—^histling. There nre long, amiable talks in the barn. There are pleasani gatherings at the blacksmith's and at the store' whore old stories are reproduced with renewed applause, and tho weather generously discussed. There are glorious naps on the hay-mow, and profound calculations in chalk made on the barn-door. Fish-lines are twisted, and nets are knit. A great many knives are swapped, and a great many ball-clubs mado. Soraeiiraes a colt is broke, and soraotimes a cock-fight is got up. Then there are long hours of pleasant reading in the house. A new acrap-book is made, and the neglected correspondenco renew¬ ed. Towards night, perhapa aome of tfae fami¬ ly corae home with such a splendid string oj fish, ae to take the boys the rest of the day to dreas them. In occupations like these the rainy days wear away on the farm.
I amuse myself eometimes, on rainy daya, in looking round on the occupations of ihe different membersof the family hero at home.- Wfaat conclusions I arrive at are my own, but I'll teli you tfao premises from which I draw them.— Here ia ono young fellow, busy beiween two piles of Harper and Putnam, wfaicfa he enjoys alternately. Ono is profoundly immersed in maihematical calculus, and when tired of that, goea patiently at his perspective drawing. One is rigging up his fishing tackle, preparatory to some distant excursion, and when througfa, dips inlo ** dream life," and then into Comua.— Anoifaer is cfauckiiug comfortably, for the fif¬ ieenih iime, over JDon Quixote. Another, ina quiet corner, is immersed in the sparkling pa- ges of Maculay, while the old gentleman is di- viduag his time between the Timea andlhe Eve¬ ning Poat. There is no loud noise in the houae. The BiillnoBs seems a sort of Sabbath repose.- Tfae old willow droops down its arms so solemn¬ ly ; tho vines haogabout the window with sucfa ft tbooghtiiil fbtd*; thsioandfl bU Mim k muf¬
fled, even when any one moye.e about.,: Nobody laughe loud nobody talks loud. It seems like an agreement—this prevaiiing sobriety. It's pe¬ culiar, but not offensive. -1 always liked it, and do atill. Glorious rainy days of boyhood! I shall never forget my pleaaure at. their coming* What books I devoured then. What quantities of foolscap I scribbled. What gorgeous dreams I built up In the cloud-land of cloudy days. Glorious rainy days! I look back upon tfaem as upon " spots where angel feet have stepped.'.' Wiihin thoir drapery of gloom, were embowered tfae sweet kernels of early joy. They aeem to me noto hke illumined places, cosy and sacred, far away somewhere in the darkness. Whai loving presences filled them, and made them royal. How, the chivalry, of Scott trooped tfarough their quiet vistas. How tho~ witchery of Cooper arched them with glorious'skies, and peopled them wilh the fresh and glowing life of the West. How ihey echoed with tfae Inugfa- terof Cervantes, and mourned with tho maniac grief of Lear. Glorious rainy days! that led rae into so many places whore shines a light more subtle than the sun, and that introduced me loso many of the nobleandihe good,ifaat forever dwell in tfae white tonls of the heart. —, ¦ ¦¦ - ^>.^^(» —
The Stump-Tail Cow.—A good many years ago a man stole a cow from Morristown, N. J., and drove her to Philadelpfaia, for sale. Sfae was a comraon cow enougfa, except thatahe had lost her tail but about six inches. The thief, fearing that by the shortness of her tail fae might be traced, had procured in sorae way, probably frora a slaughter-house, another cow's tall, which be fastened so ingeniously to the short tail, lhat it would not be known that it had not regularly grown there.
As soon aa the Jerseyman missed his cow, he set offto Philadelpfaia, thinking she would pro¬ bably be cairied there for sale, and it happened thai when fae came to the ferry, he got into the small boat that was carrying over his cow and the fellow wfao stole her. As it was quite natural that he should have his thoughts very mucfa upon cows, he soon began to look av this one witb great aiteniion. She was, indeed, very much like his cow, fae thougfat, Hor marks agreed wonderfully, and she had pxactly the same expression ot face, but then, thc expression of her lail was so very different. It mual be aupposed that the new owner of tho cow felt ratfaer uncomfortable during tfae examination, fer he soon aaw this was the person wfaose prop¬ erty he had stolen, and he was very uneasy lest fae should take hold ofher tail, which he looked at so continually.
Uponthe wfaole he ihoughi it best to divert his attention in some way, jf possible, and iherefore steps up to him and says :—
" Neighbor, that's a fine cow of mine, won't you buy her ? You seem to know what a good cowis."
*' Oh, dear me," aaya the other, " I've just had a cow stolen from me."
*' Well," says the thief, *' I'm sorry to hear lhat they've got to stealing cattle, but I'll sell off, and you could not belter replace your loss than by buying this cow ; I'd warrant she's as good as yours!"
'• Why," says the Jerseyman, '* she was ex¬ actly like tfais one, only thnl she hod no tail, to speak of, and if this one had not such a long tail, I'd awear it waa my cow."
Everybody now began to look at the cow's tail, but the thief stood nearerto it than anybody, i and taking hold of it so as just to cover tbe; splicing witfa his left hand, and with a jack- knife in his right, pointing to the tall, he sa id :
" So, if this cow's tail were only this long you'd swear ahe was youra?"
" That I would _!" aaid the other, wtio began lo be very much confuaed at the perfeel resem¬ blance to his cow, except in thia one particular, wfaen the thief, with a sudden cut of hia knife, took offihe tail just aboui an inch above the splicing, and, throwing it overboard, bloody as it was, turned to tha other and said :
*' Now, swear its your cow!"
The bewilderment of the poor man was now complete, but as he had seen the tail cut off, and saw the blood trickling from it, he could, ofcourse, lay no claim to lhe animal, from the shortness oftho tail; indeed, here was proof poaitivfl than this waa not his cow, so the ihief going over with him sold -i.. ._«? wiinoui any .further fear of detection.
