The apprehensions whiob she might have in¬ dulged In exposing two yonng and gifted per¬ sons to tbe danger of ^TOplDiiaitr had been entirely disarmed! by Norman's vehement protestationa againat Uiis Fenton's admission into tbe family; and she dreaded -now that it was too late to avert the evil. HowBver eager she bad been to advance Livingston's anit, pbe waa not willing that her own son ahOQld oontroot a mis-allfsnoe. - Lina's olam- orona eiplamations of disalppointment at Edith's decision covered in a degree the restraint of the party, and before they were half finished it was time for tUem to depart. Mrs. Courtnaye oommenced as soon as they were seated in the oarriage lo aoond ber son npon the- oatnre of his feelings towards Edith ; before he oonld reply, Marian, happy now from a sense of great relief, gave her mother a laughing reminder of Norman's horror of the " shoemaker's daughter," and I was quite snre, she said, that her portrait as I a child, with all its sordid aooompanimenta, i was too firmly impressed on his imagination ! to be chased away oven by tbe brilliant Image which she now presented. Norman was silent; he was ashamed to hear his own Idle words reiterated, and to acknowledge that he was about to disavow tbem, when Lina abruptly exclaimed ;
" I believe Normau likes hor a great deal more than you think, though he does choose to be so quiet; and if he will take my advice he will spare himself tbe trouble of a pro¬ posal, for Edith would not bave bim if—"
" Lina I" interrupted her mother, in great indignation, "how very improper to jest on suoh a snbjeot I Your partiality for your friend carries you to strange lengths, when yott decide tbat she would reject the honor of your brother's regard. Yon will oblige me by beiug silent ou tbis subject for tbe future."
" Yoa see, mamma," aaid Norman, a little fretfully, " all tbis comes of indulging Lina in going ont to parties, when she ought to be at home in the nursery. She thinks she is old enough to pronounce upou tbe affairs of her elders."
Lina made a little mouth at this reileotiou, but discreetly drew her bead behind the shelter of her mother'.s shoulder so tbat it might not be seen. They left the last strag¬ gling houses uf the town as they talked, aud after a short drive entered Livingston's do¬ main.

Ab soon as LiTisgston had made np hii miud that it was esseotial to hia happiness to aecare Miss Fenton's hand, he resolved that his wooing shoald be on a scale so brilliant as to throw all other rivals into the shade. No doabta clouded the serenity of his hopes; no tormenting aUernatiotu oC confidence and fear overwhelmed him with aliyneas in the presence of the young lady. He made his approaches with snoh graceful conrtesy as to preclude the neoesaity of en¬ couragement, and to pnt it ont of her power, unless with, positive rudeness, to repulse him.
Misses Courtnaye and their set, Livingston always contrived that his carriages or horses shoald ba al Edith's disposal—eaclx tribute, as it was laid at her feet, bringing a deeper ! despair to Marian's heart, and filling Edith : with anuoyanoe and perplexity. Annoyance : because sh.6 was not in the least romantic.— < She had not fed her imagination Jf-nfn novels . until a lover was felt to be a n^essary ap¬ pendage, nor did she care for the added con- | sequence that an' offer' would give her as a i belle. And perplexity, because ahe had no * wish to draw Livingston on merely to reject j him; and she dreaded,at the same time, be- I
at the feet of tbe laiy of his choice. She was uo longer the " maiden of low degrdej" bat the favored being, honored by his regard, who wonld receive her consequence as well aa her happiness from himself, and reflect credit on his taste while she graced the high position in which he wonld place her. His eye sought eageily for her.form aa Mrs. Courtnaye's carriage stopped and its occu¬ pants alighted, and could scarcely credit the evidence of his sen.'ies when he saw that ahe was not among tliem.. His eager inquiries for Miss Fenton were met with an ambarraaaed apology from Mrs.   Courtnaye, and in a  mo-

Livingston "hoped that Miss Edith wonld re¬ gard this party aa a parting compliment  to
herself" with anoh marked emphasis and ao much meaning in hia eye that she felt it would be an affectation to hide from herself the conviotiou that Livingston   had   fixed upon this evening as the oooasion when, daz¬ zled by the array of his brilliant environ¬ ment!, she would be most apt to lend  a  fa¬ vorable ear t o his snit.    She determined to absent herself; bnt, to escape importunity, kept her resolution to henelf.    Marian, un¬ happy as she was, had too muoh dignity to enact the love-lorn damsel to curious eyes. She felt, besides, a feverish desire to be on the Bpot when Livingston shonld forever break the  singular but engrossing tie which had bound him to herself.   She prepared, there¬ fore, for the festival with all the  resolution ihe oonld summon.   Lina, wild with delight at having obtained permission to  appear at this entertainment—whioh,   as  a  conntry party, she had persuaded her mother was not niiEuitable for a school-giri—was bo ocoupied in communioating her transports and exact¬ ing the sympathy of the othera/that she did not notice that Edith spent the morning of the appointed day quietly in her usual ooon- pations.    Normau had held aloof from Bdith aince Lina's unfortunate attempt to induce ber to conceal her parentage.   He imagined that he rested under her displeasure on that account, and passed hia time in vain regrets over his own indecision.    He had let slip the opportunity of seeking  an interest  in her affeotions, while Livingston had qaietly step ped   over the obstacle which  had   at  first appeared insurmountable iu hia  eyes.    He did not trouble her now witb inquiries as to heriuteation of appearing at the approaching i fete.   He noticed that she was more thought¬ ful, but this, seemed only natural  when she ! must be aware that a  crisis  In her life was drawing year.
The family were asaemhled in the parlor, and the oarriage waa vi siting to convey them ' to Mrs. Livingston's, when Edith appeared to make known her intention of remaining at home. "Without giving them time to exclaim at her dreas, ahe walked straight up to Mra. Courtnaye and begged her to make the necessary apologies for her absence.
"^Please don'taskme why," said ahe, "but I had mnoh rather stay at home and alone, and I am sure you will not hesitate to leave me when I tell you so."
; As she turned,^ embarrassed, from Mrs. Courtnaye's somtiniiing looks ahe encounter¬ ed one from Normau not lesa hard to meet. The storm cloud, chased by barstiug sun- flhfno, would be s fair type of his countenance in whioh all that an eye conld express of joy and exulUtion was plainly visible. Nor was It he alone whose thoughts f ashed to a oon- viction of Edith's purpose. Marian shrank behind her mother to hide her crimsoning cheek; shecotxldnot teUwhat she felt, ei- oept that Livingston wonld still he £ree—if not her^fl at leaat not another's. Mrs. Court¬ naye was quite as muoh surprised, hut less graOfied than her children. She bad had a lUely: interest in ^vingston's wooing, and had beenmnoh pleased that Lina'a inttinaoy, whiob she feared she had shown a weakness in flneonxagicg, should hive reoelved a sanc¬ tion'from snoh a distinguished Bouroe. She had naUj learned to love Edith for her own sake; And liAd felt a triumph In her snocesB; but npiT^vW llie oonld not donbt Edith's r«aaon Sot roiuOoiiV «i lu)iiie, she felt angzj,
reiterate Edith's excuses, spoke for her.
"My dear mother, you will regret exceed¬ ingly to learn that we are not to bave the honor of Miaa Fenton's company thia evening. She is not very well, I believe, and ia to travel BO soon that it wonld have been improdent to risk the fatigue of a party. I'll assure you, Mrs. Courtnaye, my mother and I will find it hard to reconcile ourselves to her desertion, for there are few who could aupply Miss Fen¬ ton's place."
He spoke in a light tone, and so rapidly aa to 'drown his mother's inquiries, and before she could gain an insight into the real state of the case a.fresh arrival of guests claimed her attention, and Livingston led Mrs. Courtnaye to a seat,
" Pardon me," said he, "for improvising an eiouae for yonr lovely young friend; but my mother has oldfashlonednotiona of ceremony, and wonld have considered Miss Fenton's re¬ fusal, at this late hour, and without any ex¬ planation, aa a positive affront. I ahould be sorry to have her prejadices aroused against snoh a very charming person. For myself, I never quarrel with a woman for being capri¬ cious.    It is her privilege."
For half an hour longer Livingston moved among his gnesta, until he had caused his own version of tho oanao of Misa Fenton's ab- aence to be accepted by the most curioaa— until he saw the oompany dispersed over the beautiful grounds   or fully oiiuifpied in the dancing room, and then withdrew for reflec¬ tion.    He had been dreaming au intoxicating dream—sudden  had been his awakening— ' prompt must  ba hia  action.    Edith,  then, had divined hi.s intention.s, .and had adopted tbis method of avoiding his proposals.   What an  infatuation on her  part I    He could not but be grateful that she had spared him the pain of a rejection.    Painful as it would be to drive her image from his heart, it would be yet more painful, more intensely mortify¬ ing tbat  the coterie  over   whom   he   had reigned so  long the acknowledged leader— he, upon whom dignified matrons bad lavish¬ ed Che blandest oourtesies, the luost encourag¬ ing smiles; he at whose approach the brightest eyes had sparkled and the fairest cheeks had blushed—should know him henceforth as a j baffled and disappointed suitor!    He conld | bear any sacrifice of feeling—the "world's' dread laugh'' he could not bear.   One moment waa given to stifle conacience, and then he , resolved—by an immediate transfer of his in¬ tended offer to Marian—to prove to hia inter¬ ested and  observing friends that their sua-; picions, though just, had pointed to   the wrong lady; that his devotion to Edith had | been thrown ont only as a blind, while, in ' reality, he waa bringing to a consummation his long talked of engagement to Marian.— He rightly-judged that Misa Fenton, aa she bad been ao anxioaa to avoid an explanation of hfa intentiona, would be the last person to boaat of her oonqueat.   Marian he  wonld persuade that he had tttrned to her beauttfnl rival only for a time, and in order to stimulate her regard for  himself;   and  to Marian'a brother and mother he . would leave her to make what explanation she chose.   Without giving himself time to repent his decision, he sought the object of his thoughts.    She look¬ ed nnusnally well.   Edith's resolve to remain at home had relieved her heart of a weight whioh had pressed it down with iron force.— Her eyea were Ut with joy, and her look and ana>P6T in acoordanoe with the festal aoene. ghe^pUoed her .arm wUhin Llvingston'a aa he
iiiyited hex; to walL^rUhhim; his manner had never been 80 tender, eo demonstrative. He drew her willing "steps down a ihaded walk, where-A.t^Uis covered ^Ith jessamine .formed a Bot«j|a.ifft>Bi.carioB« eyes, and here ^as she patiMd 'to* inhale the fragrano»or the flowers—in hurried tones, to represent the fervor of devotion wliioh he professed, he offered himself to her aooeptaace—be presiad for a reply. "He had fixed npon this even¬ ing as the one upon wliioh bfs fate was to be decided. Might not long years, of Intimacy plead his cause, and wonld she not decide aX' bnoef" Marian was bewUdei^ by surprise ; ahe trembled violently^ and leaned against the trellis with a cheek whltar.^n the flow- era that clustered round her. -At last the deaire of her heart waia &tt&ihed--^LivIng8ton was hersf Had she hot heard It from his own lips?—not alone her frfend now, bnt her more —her fond, devoted lover. All his tempori¬ zing oourae towards her, all his vain talk of friandslup, all his caprioloos neglect, were foi:gottenin^tbeoverwbelingJoyofbis avow¬ al. At length she faltered forth: "I thought-^!thought you loved Edith?" "Yes," aaid he, with.a ouHonaBmlle, "and others thought so too; bnt you, Marian, yon ought to have divined* that I had resorted to a common rnae; that I'was tryinR to discover whiather under jour oalm exterior there ex¬ isted a feeling -itrong enough to be fanned Into jealousy. Long ago I cheated myself into the belief that your friendsmp was enough to fill thedesire of my heart. It was for yon, dearest Marian; to convince me that nothing ]e."ja than yonr love oonld satiafy the , fervor of my hopes. But apeak to me," he continued, taking her hand; "do not keep me iu this Intolerable suspense."
She spoke only a few words, but they were enough; and now beginning to tire of hia own hypocrisy, he soaght to draw her back into tbe company. He played out his part sncoessfuUy during the remainder of the evening, and attracted uuiveraal observation by the parti'oalarity of his attentions to Marian. He had again a few moments before they parted to'- speak to her unheard by others.
" You will communicate our engagement, at onoe, I hope,"^sBld he, "to your family and to—Alisa Fenton. I am eager to proclaim my sncoess—jay happiness, to the world. I leave it to you to diaabuse Norman of the idea that I was an aspirant for tbe honor of Miss Fen- ton'a regard. Indeed, I desired that he should misapprehend me, for I talked some nonsense to him about ray admiration for her, that I might enjoy hia ohagrin. I have carried my experiment too far if ahe should have been deceived too; but she will forget me in watch¬ ing the development of Norman's passion.— If I am not mistaken he ia fatboma deep al¬ ready.'' She conld hardly have expected to carry off two lovers after ao short a cam¬ paign,"
Marian watted until tbe next evening, and when Edith retired to her room for the night, she followed her and blnshingly revealed her secrt^t. She wai beloved by Livingatuu, be had declared himaelf, and th^y were engaged. Edith was startled ont of her politeness.
"Engaged!" she exclaimed. "Oh! Marian, he is not worthy—he haa deceived you !" Marian was deeply offended. "Tbis is scarcely a anitable retnrn," aha said, "for the confidence which I have re¬ posed iu you next after my own family. You ahonld remember tbat I did not come to oon- Bult you, but to communicate what waa al¬ ready arranged. To ait in judgment upon Mr. Livingston with such iinaparing severity Is an insult to me."
*0h, Marian, forgive me," said Edith, "Let U3 not part in aogur ? Your announcement was so unexpected. I had thought—" She hesitated.
^ Yes," said Marian, "ic is as Mr. Livings¬ ton feared. You have been under a misap¬ prehension aa to the natnra of his attention to yourself, but you need not—because yonr eyes are opened to the fallacy of your expec- tationa—be so craellr unjust to him. A lit- j tie longer experience in the world will con¬ vince yon that men extend a hundred civili¬ ties to women that indicate nothing more than mere admiration, and ara aa often the result of a desire to amuse themselves as anything else."
Which is very little to their credit," said Edith; "but, believe me, I did not build any hopes upon Mr. Livingston's attention to me. X entreat you to forget what I said. I wish you all the happineas that yon deserve.— And now kiss me, will you not, as we part to morrow?"
Marian'a didpleaaare pnt the finishing touch to a series of aunoyancea which Edith had felt on thia the last day of her stay. It had been arranged that she was to travel un¬ der the protection of some friends of her father, who were about returning to the West after a summer at the seaside. This morn¬ ing Norman had announced hia intention of accompanying her a part of the way on ber journey, and though she could not without rudeneas decline snch a common aot of polite¬ ness, conld plainly see that Mrs. Courtnaye disliked the arrangement.
" I am ao sorry,", said she to Norman, "that you should take so mnoh trouble on my ac¬ oonnt. I shall be with old friends, who will take excellent care of me."
"And being with old frienda, yoa can dis¬ pense with the new," aaid he, with a smile ; "but you mnat permit me, notwithstanding, to go with you. Do yon know that—I am' ashamed to confess it—I have never aeen the Ohio river? I ahould like to aee how far your descriptions ofyour mighty rivers have been colored by yonr own enthusiasm."
"I know exactly what you will do," aaid Edith. "You will immediately institute a comparison with the Rhine. I shall hear nothing bnt a lamentation over the want of vine-clad hills aud mystic ruina. I am glad that you will aee the Ohio at one ofthe most buaniiful points; though the French settlera called it la belle riviere, par excellence, wben It flowed through an almost untrodden wil¬ derness. It seems to me, now, most attrac¬ tive at thoae points where the large towns give variety to the samenesB of ita oourae.— One tirea of its perpetual green shores."
It waa a bright morning when Norman stood with Edith on the deck of the boat which was to convey her far away from him. He had watched in vain for an opportunity to ask the momentous question upon which all hia preaent interests rested. Edith either did not wish to be alone with him, or there had been more provoking interraptions or ever-liatening ears to their oonversation.— The delay only increased hia feverish desire to hear from Edith*s own lipa her decision.— Ho drew her now to one side on the pretext of pointing out some object on the shore, and then abruptly, but in words which hia emo¬ tion kindled into fervor, declared his love.— He spoke too impetuously to listen to the words which she tried to interpose, and when at length he paused in anxious hope it was to meet only an unequivocal rejection—not the less bitter that it waa kindly worded, nor more consolatory that waa accompanied by the assurance that ahe wonld have spared bim the naelesa avowal if she could.
•'I havo been too presumptuous," aaid Norman, "I oonfesa. I have rushed npon my fate without one encouraging word or look on your part; but I would not recall my words eveii now. Anythiug.is preferable to letting yoa go from me withoat making an effort to obtain a place in your heart."
"Not preaumptuona, certainty," said Edith; "but I know yon are urging me to oonsent to what you would inevitably regret after the flrat glow of feeUng had passed away. Can I forget how short a time has passed since yon Boomed my low estate, and the father whom I love and honor above all the world?"
" Who told yoa—who dared repeat ^?'»

"No, for you smother the prejndloea of years upon the impulse of a ^.Utary feeling. If the feeling shonld fade or okuige, the pie- jndioes would revive with double force, and tbe reaction wonld be bitter."
" You have never loved,'* said No.rma,h, "or yon conld not-talk so oalmly of change; vI'OT® —that is, trueldve—Ib IndeatruotlbleMOi?r have "placed an inordinate value npon good birth, but I oonld bave forgotten it. in the bappinesa ofyour affection.

"No," aaid she, decidedly; "dearly as I love Lina, and deeply as I feel the kindneaa of your family, I oonld never be persuaded to enter a oonneotion where my father wonld be looked down upon,and I perhaps only tolera¬ ted. If you wonld gratify your pride, seek a wife a little higher in the social scale. And now farewelll"
The absolute necessity of finding.means to banish bis regret drove Norman to a course wbich all his mother's ambitioua projects had failed to accomplish fbr him. Home had lost ita brightest cbarm.now tbat Edith waa gone. Every room whioh had been adorned by. her graceful presenoe recalled her image and en¬ hanced tho bitterneaa of his disappointment, Lina's gay laugh jarred upon his ear; his mother's curiosity upon hia return, and ber lUconceald aatisfaction in bearing of hia re- pnlsSj irritated him almost beyond endurance, and his distrust lh the ainoerity of Living¬ ston's affection for Marian changed the inter¬ est with which he wonld otherwise have look¬ ed forward to the marriage of a beloved sister into an abaolute disapprobation of her choice. Hm left the uncongenial scene, and went to take charge of bia-property in the country,— He sought diatraction in fltting up his estab- lishiiient lu a style auitable to bia wealth and refined tastea; and after providing for his home comforts, strove to interest himself in tbe improvement of his farm, and looked for¬ ward to the excitement of his mnltipUed en gagemt-nts aa a country gentleman as an ef¬ fectual rfimedy for the pain of hia nnsucoesa- fnl  love.
Living.stou, meantime, pressed for a apeedy termination of hia engagement. He had a reatleas de.'fire to fix bia; decision beyond aj doabt.' He hoped, too, that Edith would hearl of his marriage in her distant home, and would be 30 punished for her infatuation in missing an oiiportunity which conld never be her'a again.
Tho marriage waa celebrated with all the eclat which usually attends the nupliala of the rich and pro.'^peroos, and Mariau sighed amid the splendor of her new home for the love which she vainly tried to parauade her¬ self ahe had secured. Tliongbtful and con-. siderate for her comfort aa ber husband was, ahe could hot reproach him for nnkiudnesa; .but the easy indilt'ereuco with which he. parried any show of t(^udorue33 on her part, hia ill-concealed weariness when they were alone, and the eagernes.-i with which he pro¬ moted her going out into tbtj. world, con¬ vinced her too flurely that bis vows had been. false that his heart was as effectually closed againat ber as if he had married another.— Her love for him had all tho intenaity of a single laea,  aweit   upon  tlirongti  years' or-
wearyiug delay.

A Beak Story.-The River Falla (Wiscon- ain) Journal tells a bear atory after the simili¬ tude  of "Old Put," of glorious  memory.— About thirty miles,from River  Falls, at the head ofCady's Creek, ia a long rooky bluff, rising neariy oue hundred and fifty feet above the bed of the stream.    This bluff ia  full  of oaverna, leading in and branching ¦ off In all directions.    Most of them are  large  enough for a man to crawl in.   They  have  always been a noted resort  for bears,   and  several have been driven in during the present winter. When once in they have been oonsidured lost, but a few weeks  ago  a party consisting   of ThomaaStevens, D. W. Hammond, E.Burnett, C. G.Snowies, CiJarles D'Armond and John Dickey, determined to enter  the cave,, and, if possible, capture a bruin in hia stronghold. Armed and equipped they entered  the cave, but their progress waa slow and laborlons.— In no place was the cavit   large  enough  for them to stand nprlght, while a great portion of.the way they were obliged to lie down and crawl over rocks and mud, pushing their light before them. .^After entering about one hun¬ dred and  fifty feet,  a  bear waa  started  by Burnett, who was foremost, brnin  retreating and the  party   following.    Presently   they came to a fork in the cavern, oue wing  lead¬ ing to tbe right and the other to  tbe  left.— Stevens took the left enterauce, and bad gone but a short distance when h<i discovered the bear.    He notified his oompaniooa and   then fired, wounding the bear, and a comrade who had crawled as close as possible after him re¬ peated the dose.   The bear growled fiercely, but  hia  wonnds  were  mortal, and  a  little more lead aoon quieted him.    A  rope   waa attached to the varmint and he   was, with great di^oulty, drawn from the cave.    He waa a monster, dressing over four hundred pounds.     The' only thing that saved   the huntera from death, and the expedition from the  reproach  of  foolhardineaa,. is  the  fact that the bear hod been made  somewhat tor¬ pid by the cold of winter.
Since theiabovo adventure three other beara have been taken by another party from dena in the aame bluff, but the hnntera deacribe the operation aa anything bnt pleasant or aafe.
than the wear of them. To obviate. effeotn- ally, this evil, it is necessary only to cleanae them thoioaghly when they ar® to be laid aside for the season, .• and apply tq tbem. a ooat of rosiu, one part; beef's Callow, or oU,, one part, with a little Umpblaok ; the whole being solved and fused over a slow fire and pat on with a common paint brush, while warm. AH iron Implements, snch as plows, harrows, cultivators, as well as wheels and all other tools, composed either wholly or In 'part of Iron,'should be frayed with this o' some similar ungnent, and carefully honsed. Treatgd in this manner a very considerable savingwill be effected, and at slight expense. Some prefer the use of paints, formed by the admixture of Ilnaeed oil and'white lead, lamp- blaok, venirian red, or Spanish, brown ; but although thia has a somewhat neater and more tasty appearance, on the whole, it is no ifiore durable and much more expensive than the fltst named article.
The BiBir.—Let the utmost neatness be observed in the management of the bam.— No inore hay or other fodder ahonld be thrown Into the floor at once than ie requisite to sup¬ ply one feed. By throwing a large quantity from the mows or scaffoldings, there is an unavoidable loss from the drying of the fibre, whiob renderaitlesspalatab^ato the animals' as well as less nutritions. Sweeping the fioora, daily, promotes oleanUnesa,'Snd conduces to the health and conseqnently the comfort of animals. The " tie-upa" and "stalks," aa well as the mangers, cribs, &c., ahonld be daily cleaned out and frequently waahed.— An occasional whitewashing shonld be given to the oeilinga and partitions; its sanatory effects are well known, and of & nature too indisputably obvlona to admit of doubt.— Vermin rarely infest bams or animals in this way. The floors of all tie-ups should always be of stones—largeflags—whioh can be tbor- onghly cleansed by the diffnalon of water, and which do not become impregnated with the ammoniaoal matter contained in the nrine t and the fetid animal matters ot the exore- . ment.
Bbddikq fob AstMALs.—The best bedding for domestio animals, with the exception of foreat leaves, Is common sawdust. This, spread under animals will uot only absorb tbe nrine, bnt make au excellent manure— one that will decompose readily, and contrib ute powerfully to the productive powers of aay soil. A Little gypsum and pulverised charcoal sprinkled over the bedding, will be of important service ; it will enable one to economise effeolnally, tbe volatile . portions of the voidlngs, both liquid and solid, and prevent any unpleasant smell pervading the barn. Snlphurio aold ia also possessed of muoh value for thia purpose. All these are cheap—so cheap that the pecuniary coat will aearcHly be comprehended iu the estimate.
Door Yards.—Never allow refuse lumber, old carts, wheels andotherminedand worth- lesf articles encumber the yarda and courts around your dwelling. Nothing indicates, more certainly, the prevalance of vulgar ideaa, de{;rading associations and slovenly habita, than thia ; for no person accustomed to the practice of neatness, and of that commenda¬ ble precision which requires " a plaoe for everything, and everything In tbis place," will, for a moment tolerate such a thing.— Tbe utmost neatness shonld pervade such places.
Woon SHBoe.—In immediate contact with the dwelling house, aud, if practicable, in close connection with tbst portion of it set apart for the performance of houaehold work; .thexa ahonld.Im a .nood Kouse—large and airy—and so oonstmeted ««> to auDBoirrTj --««- purposes of a perfect magazine for fuel, both green and dry. Here should at all times be found an ample supply of that article which is said to make cheerful the heart of the housewife, and to be more effectual in diffn- fling the sunshine of happiness through a household, than mortgages, bonds, or even gold itself. i
CaasBi-ta Fb.\ce Posts a.vd SrAxxa.—-Never , set a fence post or stake without flrst decor¬ ticating or chopping carefully the bark from the tops, and charring them. This is no merely theoretical doctrine, no purely vision¬ ary whim ofthe imagination, bnt apart of that invaluable wisdom which reauIU only from experience. Reiterated trials bave de¬ monstrated the shrewd and undeniable phil osopbyof both theae usages, although blind prejudice haa contended against them with t he-inveteracy usually characterising its ef¬ forts; If thoae who are aceptical in regard to ita utility, will but reduce" it to the teat of fair, impartial experiment, they will speedily be convinced of the utility of tha practice.
-Hoo Yards.—Keep your hog yarda conatant- | ly and literally replenished with materials | for manure ?—muck, chip manure, saw-dust, | spent tan, refuse hay, straw, rubbish from ' tbe fields, and spnrioua vegetation from the garden and the wood lot, rushes, peat, earth* elay, raga, cobs, rotten wood, and, iudeed> every substance that When rotted or reduced to Its primary elements orprinoiplea, is capa¬ ble of supplying pabulum or paaturage to plants. When the mass is sufficiently bro¬ ken down in ita physical texture, cleanse out the yards, and oommenoe aooumnlating more. In thia way a large quantity of moat excel¬ lent compoat may be made, and many articles ordinarily overlooked'in onr imperfect econo¬ my, and contemplated aa wortbleas.oonverted to an important and valuable use.

Butteb-Makihg in Wiktse.—"Winter but¬ ter'* has no- very enviable reputation any-1 where, and compared witb that made in Jnne, I seems an entirely different article. Of course there are reasons for thia—let us enumerate some of them.
1: The character of the food Is changed from green and succulent herbage, to dry hay, or more generally cornstalks and fftraw. There is really very little butter in the latter.
2. The.season is changed from mild and warm, to cold, bleak, and uncomfortable.— There ia a couBtant demand for fuel to keep np tbe animal heat; this ia partly at the ex- penae of the butter product.
3. The management of the milk becomes difficult. If kept in a cellar, and a little above freezing, the milk becomes bitter before the oream rises; if allowed to freeze, the cream rises at once, but is injured in quality, and willprodoce very white batter; If kept in tbe kitcbeii pantry, where very warm during the day and oold at night, it does not rlae well, and is apt to be bitter and acid.    •
Other reasons mightbe mentioned, bnt tbey will readily suggest 'themselves to the reader. Let ua see what can be proposed to remedy the difficnltles.
1. Feed well—not dry food alone—but grain and roots, as a aubstitate for grass. Carrots, turnips, beets, cabbages, etc., are all naefnl in keeping up the quality of the milk. Let their fodder be cut, and some nutritions slops be provided, If roots are not to be had, and It is well to ont the fodder in any case.
2. The oomfort of cows should be carefully attended to. While they suffer from cold and filth, or foul air, they oannot yield as good milk as when in warm, clean stables, or In well Uttered and sheltered yards. Water shonld also be provided—it it the mon need¬ ed when dry forage is consumed—and it should be BO arranged tbat every animal could drink at wiU. A supply of salt is also necessary.
• 3. It is difficult to get a proper temperatni* for raising oream perfectly in winter. Some butt er-makers~ scald their milk when  flrst
(tlifce, and when It is at a proper temperature, 56°—feeling a little warm to the finger—the churning will be an easy half-hour's job, and the butter as yellow and hard as the season will admit of.
We have found that cows generally gave better milk, when fed on well oured corn fod¬ der, than on second-rate hay, and with "a mess" of roots, apples, or pumpkins, would yield milk of very fair unallty. Attention to aeonringa supply of proper[food for cows.and better care of them, would go far to redeem the name of winter butter from lis present character. J. H. B.

It was a favorite amnaement with Cleopat¬ ra, estimable lady, to try exptirimeu ta with poison upon pritiontjrs and slaves, and in tbe exoitement caused by their contortions, found just ttie food for her peouliar quality of mind' In honor of quests, it was her onstoin to cause entertainments of this description, and they all probably enjoyed it as we iu our day en¬ joy a five-act-oomedy.
A cat once caught a sparrow, and was about to devour it, bnt the sparrow aaid : ** No gen¬ tleman eats till he has flrst washed his face." The oat, strnok with this remark, set tho spar¬ row down, and began to wash his face with his paw, bat the sparrow flew away. This vexed Fuss extremely, and he said: " As long as I live I will eat first and wash my face afterwards." Which all cats do even to this day.
A handsome black horse attracted a large amount of attention in the streets of West Chester, last week, in consequence of his feet. Instead ot being a quadruped he was aflva-footed animal! From the lower joint of his near hind-leg, there were formed' two distinct feet—one somewhat smaller than the other, bnt both symmetrical. The ani¬ mal waa clean limbed, and apparently felt no indonvenience from the double foot. Ha was attached to a oarriage, and was regarded hy every Iwdy as a onriosity.—Media Jlmeri- can.
No gift to faul as that of singing. The principal question asked, upon insnring a man's life, should be, **Do yoa sing a good song?"
