Cephas assured him that he should never be gnilty of fooling any girl—much less oae so worthy as Miss Nancy Blynn. " I'm glad lo hear it I" exolaimed the Judge. "Of course I never believed you could do such a thing. But we sboald be careful of appearances, Cephas. (Just another little handful of straw; that will do.) People have already got up the absurd story that you are going to marry Nancy." Tip's ears tingled. {There was a brief si¬ lence, broken only by the rustling of the straw. Then Cephas eaid. "Why absurd, father?" "Absurd—because—why, of course, it isn't true, is it ?" "I must confess, father," replied Cephas, " the idea has occurred to me that Nancy- would make me—a good wife." It is impossible lo say which was the most astonished by this candid avowal, the Judge or Master William Tansley. The latter had never once imagined that Cephas' intentions her there was no possible chanca left for him, smote his heart with qualms of despair.

Now if there was a persou in tbe world whom Tip Tbe Judga tubbed away again at Pericles' flanks and shoulders with wisps of straw. "No doubt, Cepltas, you think so—and sartin I haT«n't auythiug agin' Nancy—she's a good girl euough, fur's I kuow., But jost reflect ou't—^you're of age, aud in one sence you can do as you please, but you ain't to old to hear reason. You know you might marry 'most any girl you choose." " So I thought, and I choose Nancy,' reared and hated, it was «that Cepbe," and swer«d Cephas, preparing to lead out Pericles. tbis for many reasons, the chief of which was tbat the Judge's son did, upou occasions, flirt with Miss Nancy Blynn, wbo, sharing the popular prejudice in fsvor offineclothes • and ricbes, preferred, apparantly, a single passiug glance from Cephas to all Tip's gifts and .attentions. Tip dropped dowu behind tli.e wall. " Tip Tansley!" again called tbe bated voice. But tbe proprietor of tbat euphonious name not uhooiing to auswer it remained qniet, one band still supporting his hat, the otber bis pocket, while young Boxtou, lo whom glimpses of the aforesaid Imt, appear¬ ing over the edge of the wall, bad previously been visible, stepped quickly and noiselessly to the spot. Tip crouched with bis nncon- scious eye§ in the grass; Cephas watched him | good-hunioredly, leaning over tbe wall. i "If it isn't Tip, wbat is it?" -¦i.nd Cephas | struck oue side of tbe distended jacket witb : his cane. Au ear of corn dropped out. He ; struck tbe other side out dropped i-notber ear.—A couple cf smart blows across tbe back succeeded, followed by more corn, and at the same time Tip, getting up, and endeav¬ oring to protect his pocket, let go hia hat» I wish tbe hoss'd fling bim, and break his neck I" whispered tbe devil iu Tip's heart- "Don't be hasty ; wait a minute, Cephas," said tbe Judge. "You know wliat I mean— you conld marry rich. Take a practical view : oftbemattBr.

Corae,'if you've any pride about you, you'll puU the saddle off the colt and stay at home." Altbougb the Judge's speech, as we perceive, was not quite ir^fs from proviuci&lisms, bis arguments were i:oue tbe less powerful ou that account. Ue said a good deal more in the same strain, holding out threats of unfor- givness aud disinheritance on tbe oue hand, aud praise and promises on the other,; Cephas which fell off, spilling its contents in tbe j standing with the bridle in his baud, aud I poor Tip's anxious hearl heating like a pen. " Did you call ?" gasped tbe panic-stricken Tip. Tbe rivals stood with the wall between them—as ludicrous a contrast, I dare assert, asever two lovers of oue woman presented. Tip, abashed and afraid, brushed tbe hair out of his eyes, and made an unsuccessful attempt to look the handsome aud smiling Cephas in the face. "Do you pretend yon did uot hear, witb all these ears V said the Judge's son. "I—I was huntiu' for a shoe-atriug," mur¬ mured Tip, casting dismayed glances along tbe grouud. " I lost ono bere som'ers." •'Tip," said Cephas, puttinghiscane under Master Tansley'd chin to assist him in bold¬ ing up his head, " look me in the eye, and tell me—what is the difference, twist yon and that corn ?" " I don't know—what ?" Aud liberating bis chin, Tip dropped his bead again, and began kicking iu the grass in search of the imaginary shoe-string. "That is iying on the grouud, aud you are i lying—on your feet," said Cephas. Tip replied that he was going to the woods for bean-poles, and that be took the coru to feed the catlle iu tbe " back pastur," cause they booked." " I wish you were as innocent of hooking as the catlle are!" said the incredulous Cephas,—"Go and put tbe saddle on Per- ^icles." Tip proceeded in a straight line to the sta¬ ble, his pockets dropping corn by the way, while Cephas laugbing quietly, walked up and down uuder the trees. "Hoss's ready," muttered Tip, from the bam door. Instead of leadiug Pericles out, he left bim in the stall, and climbed up into the hay loft to hide, and brood over bis misfortune until his rival was gone. It was not alone the af¬ fair of tbe stolen coruHhat troubled Tip; hut from the fact tbat Pericles was ordered, he suspected that Cephas likewise purposed pay¬ ing a visit to Nancy Blynu. Resolved to wait aud watch bis departure he lay under tbo dusty roof, cbewiug tbe bitter cud of envy, and now and theu a steam of new-mown Timothy, lill Cephas entered tbe stalls be¬ neath, aud said, " Be still!" in bis clear, reso¬ nant tones, to Pericles. Ptjricles uttered a qnick, low whinny of re¬ cognition, and ceased pawing tbe floor. " Aro you there, Cephas ?" preaently said auother voice. It was tbat of tlie Judge, who had followed his sou iuto tbe barn. Tip lay with his elbows on tbe hay, and listened. '* Going to ride, ar^ yon? Wbo saddled the horse?" " Tip," replied Cepbas. dulum between the hope that his rival would be convinced apd tbe fear that he would not. " The question is simply this, father," said Cephas, growing impatient; " Which to choose, love or mouey ? And I assure you I'd much rather please you thau displease you." " That's tbe way to talk, Cepbas! Tbat sounds like.'" exclaimed the Judge. " But if I choose money," Cepbas hastened to say, "money it shall be. I ought to make a good thing out ofit. What will you give to make it an object ?" "Give ?—Give you all I've got, of course. What's mine is yours—or will he, some day." "Some day isn't tbe thing. I prefer one good bird in the hand to any number of fine songsters iu tbe bush. Give me five thou¬ sand dollars, and it's a bargain." " Pooh! pooh I" said the Judge. " Very well; theu stand aside and let me and Pericles pass." " Dou't be unreasonable, Cepbas ! Let the colt stand. What do you want of five thou sand dollars ?" " Never mind ; if you don't see fit to give it, I'll go and see Nancy." "No, no, you shan't! Let go the bridle. I'd rather give ten thousand." "Very well; give me ten, then!" " I mean, don't go to being wild aud head¬ strong now ! I'll give you a thousand dol¬ lars, if nothiug else will satisfy you." "I'll divide the difference with you," said Cephas. " You shall give me three thousand and that, you must confess, is very Httle-" "It'a a bargain !" exclaimed tbe Judge.— And Tip was thrilled with joy. "I'm sorry I didn't stick to five thonsand!" said Cephas. " But I wish to ask, can I, for instance, marry Melissa More ? Next to Nancy, sbe is the prettiest girl in town." " But she has no position ; there is tbe same objection to her there is to Nancy. The bargain is, you are not to marry any poor girl ; and I mean to have it in writing. So pull offthe saddle and come into the house." "Ifl had been shrewd I migbt just as well have got five thousand," said Cepbas. Tip Tansley, more excited than he had ever been in bis life, waited until the two had left the barn ; then, creeping over the hay, bitting his head in the dark against tbe low rafters, he slid down from bis hiding- place, carefully descended tbe stairs, gathered np wbat he could flnd ofthe scattered ears of tucket, and set out to run through the orch¬ ard and across the fields to the widow BIynn's cottage. Tbe eveuing was starry, and «-tbe glittering edges of tbe few dark clouds tbat lay low in the east predicted tbe rising moon. Halting ouly to climb fences, or to pick up uow and theu tho corn that persisted in drop- " He didn't balf curry him. Wait a minute, j P'ng from his pockets, or to scrutinise some dark object that he thought looked " poker- ish" iu tho dark; prudently shunning the dismal w<)Ods on oue side, and the pasture wbere the " hooking" cattle were, on the other, Tip kept on, aud arrived all palpitating and perspiring, at the widow's house, jnst as the big, red moou was comiug up amidst tbe clouds over the hill. He had left a good deal of bis coru and all his courage behiud him iu his fliiiht; for Tip, ardently as be loved tbe beaatiful Nancy, could lay no claim to her on tha poetical grouud that "Only the brave deserve the fair." With uncertain knuckles Tip rapped on tho hnmble door, having first looked through the kitchen window, and seen the widow Pm ashamed to let a horse go out looking so.*' Aud tbe Judge begau to polish oQ' Pericles with wisps of straw. "Darned ef I care !" muttered Tip. "Cephas," said the Judge, "I don't want to make you vaiu, bnt I must say you ride tbe handsomest colt in the county. I'm proud o f Pericles. Does his shoo piuch him lately ?" "Notsince'twas sot. He looks will enough, father- Your eyes are better tbau mine," said Cephas, "if you can see any dust on his ¦ coat," " I luf to rub a coU. It does 'em so mucb good," rejoined the Judge. " Cepbas, if you're going by 'Squire Stedman's, I'd like to have you call and get that mortgage." " I don't think I shall ride that way, father. I'll go for it in the moruiug, however." " Never mind, anless you happen tbat way. Just hand me a wisp of tbat straw, Cepbas." Cephas baude.l his father the straw. The Judge rubbed away some seconds longer, then said, carelessly. "Ifyou are going up the mountain, I wish you would stop and tell Colby I'll take those lambs, and send for 'em next week." " I'm not sure that I ahall go as far as Col¬ by's," replied Cephas. "People say "—tbe Judge's voice changed slightly—" you don't .often get farther than the widow BIynn's when you travel that road. How is it ?" " "Ask the widow," said Cephas. " Ask her daughter, more like," rejoined the Jndge. "Cephas, I've kind o' felt as thongh I ought to have a little talk with you abont that matter. I hope you ain't fooling the girl, Cephas." And the Judge, having broached the sub¬ ject to which all his mbblng had been Intro- aittiug there, sewing by the light of a tallow candle. " Good evening, WUUam," said Mrs. Blynn, opening the door, with her spectacles ou her forehead, and her work gathered up in her lap under hor bent figure. "Coma in; take a chair." "Guess I can't stop," replied Tip, sidling intothe room T? ith his bat on, "How's all the folks ? Nancy to hum ?" " Nancy's up stairs; I'll apeak to her.— Nancy," called the widow at the chamber- door, " Tip is here! Better take a chair whUe yoa stop," she added, smiling upon the visitor, who always ou arriving "guessed he couldn't stop," aud usually ended by re¬ maining until he.was sent away. " Wal, may as well; jest as cheap sJttin' as standin*," said Tip, depositing tbe burden of bia personality—weight, 146 lbs.,—upon one of the creaky, aplint-bottomed chairs. "Pooty warm night, kind o'," raising hia arm to wip his face with his sleeve, npon which aa ear of that discontented tucket took occasion to tumble upon tbe floor. " Hello I what'a that I By gracious iPtain't green cornjl Got any fire ? Guess we'll-have a roast." And Tip, taking off his hat began to empty hia stuffod pockets into it. "Law mef" said the widow, squinting overberwork, "I thought your pockets stuck out amaxitt'! I ha'n't had the first taste of green com this year. It's real kind o' thonghtful in you. Tip; but the flre ia all oui, and we" can't think of roastin'on't to¬ night, as I see." "Mebby Nancy will," chuckled Tip.— " Ain't she oomin' down f Any time to-night) Nancy I" cried Tip, raising bis voice, to be heard by hia beloved in her retreat, " You do'no what I brought ye !" Now, sad as the truth may sound to tbe reader sympathising with Tip, Nancy cared little what be had bronght, and experienced no very ardent desire to comedown and meet him. She sat at her window, looking at tbe stars, and thinking of somebody who ahe had hoped would visit her that night; but that somebody was not Tip; although the flrst sound of hia footsteps had set her heart flat¬ tering with expectation, his near approach, breathing fast and lojid bad given her a chill of disappoiutment^—almost of disgust; and sh** uow much preferred her own thonghts, and the moourlse through tbe trees in the direction of Judge Buxton's house, to all the green com, aud all the green'lovera, in New Eugland. Her mother, however, who com¬ miserated Tip, and believed as mnch in being civil to neighbors as ahe did in keeping the Sabbath, called ag..in, aud gave her no peace until she had left tho window,;the moonrise, and her romantic dreams, anddeacendediuto tho prosaic atmosphere of tbe kitchen, and of Tip and bis corn. Tip'^ mouth, which bad been watering in anticipation of the roasted tucket, watered more than ever at sight of Nancy's exquisite eyes aud lips. Her plain, neat cUico gowni enfolding a wonderful little rouudod embodi¬ ment of grace and beauty, seemed to bim au alire fit for any qvieeu or fairy that overlived. But it was the same old tragic story over again—although Tip loved Nancy, Nancy loved not Tip. Well for him had bis mouth watered only for corn! However he might flatter bimself, ber regard for him was on the cool side of sisterly—simply the toleration of a kiudly heart for one who was not to blame for being less bright tban otber people. She took her sewing, and sat by the table^ Oh, so beautiful! Tip thoaght; and enveloped in a charmed atmospbere which seemed to touch and transfigure every object except himself. Tbe humble apartment, the spHut- bottomed chairs, the stockings drying on the polo, eveu tho widow's cap aud gown, aud the old black snuffers ou the table—all, save poor, homely Tip, stole a ray of grace from tbe balo of her loveliness. Nancy discouraged the proposition of roast- iug corn, and otherwise deeply grieved her visitor by intently working and thinking, in¬ stead of takiugpart iu the conversation. At length a bright idea occurred to him. " Got a slate and pencil ?" Tbe widow furnished the required articles, Ue theu found a book, which happened to be a Testament, and using the cover as a rule marked out the' plan of a game. "Fox aud geese, Nancy; ye play?" And having picked off a sufficient nnmber of ker¬ nels from one of the ears of corn, aud placed them upon tbe slate for geese, beselectesl the largest he could find for a fox, stuck it upon a pin, and proceeded to roast it in the candle. " Which'U ye bave, Nancy ?"—pushing the slale toward her; "take your choice, and give mo the geese ; then beat me if you can! Come, won't ye play?" "Ob dear, Tip, what a tease you are!" aaid Nancy. " I dou't want to play. I muat work. Get mother to play with you. Tip." " She don't wanter!" exclaimed Tip, " Come, Nancy ; then I'll tell yo suthin' I heard jist 'fore I come away—sutbiu' 'bout you !" Aud Tip, assuming a careless air, proceeded to pile up tbe ears of coru, log-bouse fashion, upon tbe table, while Nancy was finishing her seam. "About me?" sbe echoed. , " You'd ha'thought so !" said Tip, slyly glancing over the corn as he spoke to watch the effect on Nancy. " Cephe aud the old man bad the all-flredst row—tell you.'" He hitched around iu his chair, and resting bia elbows ou his knees, looked up, shrewd and grinning, into her face. ."William Tansley, wb.at do you mean?" " As if you couldn't guess ! Cephe waa comin' to see you to-night—but I guess he won't," chuckled Tip. " Say! yo ready for fox and geese ?" "How do you know that?" demanded Nancy. " 'Cause I heard ! The old man stopped bim, and Cephe was goin' to ride over him; but the old man was too much for bim ; he jerked him offthe boss, aud tbere they bad it, lickety-s witch, rnugh-aud-tumcle, till Cephe give in, and told tfae old man, ratber'n bave any worda he'd promi-ie never to come and see you again if he'd give him three thousaud dollars; and tbe old man said 'twas a bargain !" " Is that true, Tip ?" cried the widow, dropping her work and raising her hands, " True as I Uve and breathe, and draw tbe breath of life, aud bave a livin' bein'!" Tip solemnly aflirmed, "Just as I alwaya told you, Nancy I" ex¬ claimed the widow. "I knew bow it would be. I felt sartin Cepbas couldn't be depend¬ ed upon. His father never'd hear a word to it, I always said. Now don't feol bad, Nancy ; dou't mind it. It'll be all for the best, I hopo. Now don't, Nancy ; don't, I bog aud beseech." She saw plainly hy the convulsive move¬ ment of tbo girl's bosom aud the quivering ofher lip that some passionate demonstration was threatened. Tip meanwhile had ad¬ vanced still nearer, contorting bis neck and looking up witb leering malice into ber face until his nose almost touched her cheek. " What do ye think now of Cephe Boxtou ?" be asked, tanntiugly ; " hey ?" A stinging blow upon tbe ear rewarded bis impertinence, aud he recoiled with such sud¬ den impetuosity that hia chair went over and threw bim sprawling upon tbe floor. " Gosh all hemlock !" he muttered, scram- bliog to his feet, rabbing first bia elbow* then bia ear. " What's that fur, I'd like to know—knockin' a feller down ?" "What do I think of Cephas Boxton ?'» cried Nancy. " I think the same I did be¬ fore—why shouldn't I ? Your slander is no slander. Now sit down and behave your¬ self, and don't pnt your face too near mine, if you don't want your ears boxed 1" "Why Nancy, how could you?" groaned the widow. Nanoy made no reply, but resumed her work very much as if nothing had bap. pened. " Hart yon mncb, William ?" " Not mnch; only it made my elbow sing like all Jerewsalem! Never mind; she'U find ont ! Where's my hat ?" " You ain't goiug, be ye ?" said Mrs. Blynn with.au air of solicitude.

The next day was Sunday, and Nancy went to church, uot with an undivi¬ ded heart, bat with human love, and hope, aud grief mingling strangely with her pray- era. She knew Cephas would be here, aud felt that a glance of his eye would tell her all. Bat—for tbe first time in many montha it happened—they sat in theaame house of worship, she with her mother in their hnmble corner, he in the Judge's conspicuoas pew, and no word or look paaaed between them,— She went home, still to wait; tortured with the wasting anguish known only to those who love aud doubt. Day after day of leaden lonelineaa, night after nigbt of watching aod despair, succeeded, and still no Cephas. Tip "i^n's face. also had disc'onttuued hia visits. Mrs. Blynn saw a slow certain chauge oome over her child; ber joyous laugh raug no more; neith¬ er were her tears ofteu seeu or sighs beard; but she seemed disciplining herself to bear with patienca and serenity the desolateuesB of ht;r lot. One evening it was stormy, aud Nancy and her mother woro together iu the plain, tidy kitchen, both sewing aud both stient; gusts aud rain lashing the windows, aud the cat purring in a chair. Nancy's heart was more quiet thau nsaal; for, albeit expectatiou was not quite extinct, no visiter surely could be looked for on suoh a nigbt. But is it not true that the apirit loves surprise ; and that, wbeu least expected, grace arrives? This truth appliea alike to the seeming trifles of life and to matters of tbe greatest moment; aud it was made manifest to Nancy tbat nigbt; first when, amidst the sounds of the atorm, sho heard footsteps aud a knock at tbe door. She need not have started and changed color 30 tuijioltuously, however, for the visiter was only Tip. " Good evenin'," said youug Master Tans¬ ley, stapiug, pulling off his dripping hat and shaking it. " I'd no idea it rained so ! I was goin' by, and thought I'd stop iu. Ye mad, Nancy?" aud he peered at th' young gir^ from beueath hia wet bair with a bashful grin. Nancy's heart was too much softened to cberish any resentment, aud with suffused eyea she begged Tip to forgive the blow. " Wal! I do' no' wbat I'd doue to bo knock" ed dowfi fur," began Tip, with a pouting and aggrieved air; "though I s'pose I deu, tow.— But I guess wbat I told ye turned out abou t so, after all; didn't it, hey ?" At Nauey's look of distress Mrs. Bbnn made sigus for Tip to forbear. But he had come too far through the darkness and raiu with an exciting piece of news to be thns easily silenced. " I han't bronght ye no coru this time, for I didn't kuow as you'd roast it if I did. Say, Nancy I Cephe and the old mau had it again to-day ; aud the Judge forked over the tbree thonsand dollars; I seen him! Ha was ouly waitin' to raise it. It's real mean iu Cephe, I s'pose' you think—mebby 'tis ;¦ but, by gra clous I three thousand doUars U a tarual slue of mouey !" Hugely satisfied with the effect tbis an¬ nouncement produced, Tip sprawled upon a chair and chewed a stick, like one resolved to make himself comfortable fo. the evening. " Saxafrax—ye want soma ?" he said break¬ ing off with bis teeth, a liberal piece of the stick. "Say,-Nancy! ye needn't look so mad. Cepbe has sold out, I ,tell ye; aud wben I offer ye saxafrax, ye may as well take some." Not without eflbit Nancy held her peace ; and Tip, extendiug the fragment of the sassa¬ fras-root which his teeth had split off, was complacently urgiug.her to accept U—" 'Twas real good"—when the souud of hoofs was heard ; a halt at tha gate; a horaemau dia- mouutiug, leadiug bis animal to tbe shod ; a voice saying, " Be still, Pericles !" and foot¬ steps approaching tbo door. "Nancy! Nanoy!" articulated Mrs. Blynn, scarcely less agitated than her daughter," he haa come." "It's Cephe!" whispered Tip, hoarsely. "If be ahould ketch me here ! I—I guess"I'll go ! Confound that Cephe, anyhow !" " Hap, rap ! two light, decisive strokes of a riding whip on tbe kitchen door. Mrs. Blynn glanced arond to see it every¬ thing was tidy; aud Tip, dropping his sassa¬ fras, whirled about and wheeled about Uke Jim Crow, iu the exciteineutotthe moment, "Mother—go I" uttered Nancy, palo with emotion, hurriedly pointing to the door; " I cau't." She made her escape by the stairway ; ob¬ serving whicb, tbe bewildered Tip, who had indulged a frantic thought of leaping from tbe wiudow to avoid meeting his dread rival, changed his miud aud rushed after her. Un¬ advised of his intention, aud thinking only of shutting herself from tbe sight of Cephas Nancy closed the kitchen door rather severe¬ ly upon Tip's fingers ; but his fear rendered him insensible lo pain, aud he followed her, serambling up on to tbo dark stair case just as Mrs. Btynn admitted Cephas. Nancy did not immediately perceive what had occurred, but presently, amid the sound of the rain ou the roof aud of the wind abont the gables, she heard the unmistakable per¬ turbed breathing of her luckless lovor. " Nancy," whispered Tip, "wtiere bo ye ?— I've 'most broke my bead agin tbis blasted beam !" "What are you here for?" demanded Nancy. " 'Cause I didn't want him to see me. H e won't atop bnt a minute ; tben I'll go down. 1 did give mj head the all-firedeat tunk!" said Tip. Mrs. Blynn opened the door to inform Nan¬ cy of the arrival of a visitor, and the light frora below, partially illuminating the fugi¬ tive's retreat, showed Tip in a aitting posture on one of the upper stairs, diligently rubbing that portion of his cranium which bad come in collision with the beam ? " Say, Nancy, dou't go !" whispered Tip ; " don't leave me here in the dark !" For the widow had closed the door, and Tip was aua- piciong of bugbears. Nancy had too many tumultuous thoughts of her owu to give mnch heed to his distress; and baving hastily arranged her hair and dress by the sense of touch, ahe glided by him, bidding him keep quiet, and descended the stairs to the door, which she opened and •loaed again, leaving him to the wretched heaven away to withdraw it, " if we love each ceraed.

She held bim firm, and'looked into his faco, and Iuto hia deep, truthful eyes — "It is true! Forgive me! forgive me!" What mora was said or doue I am nnahle to ' relate; for about thia time there came from another part of the honse a dull, reverberat¬ ing aouud, succeeded by a rapid seriea of con¬ cussions, as of some ponderous body descend¬ ing iu a swift and irregular mauner from the top to tbe bottom of the stairs. It was Master WUliam Taosley, who groping about in the dark with intent to fiud a stove-pipe hole at which to listen, had lost his latitude ahd bis baiauce, aud tumbled from landing to landtug, in obedience to the dangerous laws of gravitation. Mrs. Blynn flew to opeu the door; fouud him helplessly kicking on bis back, witb his head in the rag-bag; drew him forth by one arm; ascertained that he had met with no injuries wbich a Uttle salve would not beal; patched bim up almost as good as uew; gave him her sympathy and a lantern to go home with, and kindly bade bim good nigbt. So ended Tip Tausley's unfortunate love afiair; aud I am pleased to relate that his broken heart recovered from its hurts almoat as speedily as hia broken be.ad. A moutb later the village clergyman was called to administer the vows of wedlock to a pair of happy lovers in tha widow BIynn's cottage; and the next morning there went abroad the report of a marriage which sur¬ prised tbe good people of the paiish geuerally aud Judge Boxtou more particularly. In the afternoon of that day Cephas rode home to pay hia respects to the old gentle¬ man, aud ask him if he would Uke au intro¬ duction to the bride. "Cephas!" cried the Judge, filled with wrath, smiting his son's \rritteu agreement with bis angry hand, "look here! your promise ! Have you forgotten ?" " Read it, please-," said Cephas, " In consideration ..." began the Judge, running hia troubled eye over the paper, "I do hereby pledge myaelf, never, at any time, Or in any place, to marry any poor girl." " You will find," said Cephas, " that I bave acted according to the sirict terma of onr agreement. And I have tho honor to iuform you, Sir, that I have married a person who, with other attractions, possesses the hand' aome trifle of three thouaand dollara." The Judge fumed, mada nse of an oath or two, and talked loudly of diainheritance and cutting off with a shilling. " I should be very sorry to have you do auch a thing," rejoined Cepbas, respectfully ; " but, after all, it isn't as tbougb I had not received a neat Uttle fortune by the way of my wife." A retort ao happy, that the Judge ended with a hearty acknowledgment of hia son's Buperior wit, and an invitation to come bome aud lodge bis lovely incnmberance beneath the parental roof. Thereupon Cephas took a roll of notes from his pocket, "AU jesting aside," said he, " I must first sqnare a little matter of business with which my wife has commissioned me. Sbb is more scrupulous than theson of my father, and ahe refused to receive tbe money until I bad promised to return it to you as eoon as we were married. And here it is!" "Fie, fie!" cried the Jndge. "Keep the money. She's a noble girl afler all—too good for a rogue like you!" " I know it!" said Cephas, humbly, with mauy tears iu his eyea ; for recollections of a somewhat wild and wayward youth, ming¬ ling with the conscious poasesslou of ao much love and happiness, melted his heart with nnspeakable contrition and gratitude. depends upon the clearness with which the learner perceives the traths of that science, their relations to each other and to kindred sciences; he ace It is desirable that the teach¬ er present every truth in its proper place, and in clear, concise, unmistakable lauguage. In most branches of study, esiSeoIally in the mathematics, both pure and mixed, there are inherent difficulties, which no text book and no teacher oau remove, which uo scholar can overcome except by close, long-couti ned, patient thought; and for tbis very reason it is often best that a pupil be merely started in a giveu line of thought and tben left, with an occassional suggestion, to follow out tbat course to its legitimate results. He is the best teacher who most clearly, briefly, and logically presents everything whicb it is de sirabla to present, and thus puts the learner iu the best mental state-to apply himaelf with pleasure and profit. Especially is tbis true in the more eiementary branches. The scholar, wbo is thoroughly grounded in the principles of arithmetic, wbo has tbere ac¬ quired habits of accuracy and discrimination, is seldom troubled witb algebra, geometry, etc. It is not alone that one's intellectual char¬ acter, and improvement is affected by want of defiuiteness.

Human uature is auch, tbat it will notice an error in another, whilat it is unconsciona- ly committing the same itself. I once spoke to a firat rate teacher of a defect in part of his execntion. He listened patiently and respectfully, but I could see that he thonght me to he in error not himself. On the next day be was with me. At night he said, " I aee it now; I would not beUeve It at firat tbat Ihadblunderedso badly."

Iu most oases great good arises from the visits of school to achool—and a day thus spent is well spent. Before we close this paper we must refer to the hospitality received from Directors and friends. To pass it by in silence would be ungrateful. In a recent English jonrnal Dr. Vaughn charges tbe Germau race witb a waut of generous-outflowing hospitality, and cites In proof, that when the delegatea of Germany were in England, attending th- Christian Alliance, the people of London and elsewhere, kept open hou?e for their enter¬ tainment and carried them around free of expense to see England's beauties.

The first one who is sharp enough to spy out a new Utter of pigs, no matter how great the numher, puts his private mark upon them and then lets them run ; they are then con¬ sidered hia property. In a year and a half they become splendid porkers, withoat auy troable or expense to the owner, who gathe:^ them up in tho fall, whioh netted him $570 and upwards, and that without any outlay ou his part. Those districts marked with au asterisk were uot notified of my coming and heuce the Directors aud friends of education had no opportmity of attending any of the visita¬ tions. It was impossible for me always to send word in advauce, and my iiui& was loo precious to wait for au advertisement to cir¬ culate. As I passed along the fact of my comiug was spread as widely as possible and some were brought out. Iu forming any comparison allowance should be made for thia cause. Iu cases where due uoticu was sent and secretaries ueglected to publish it, I have put no mark. In Lampeter West aud Para¬ dise I made arrangements for a visit, but 0 w ing to sickneas had to disappoint them. A numberof Directors aud patrons were preseut according to anuouucement. Afterward we made a pop visit and had not the pleasure of meeting mauy of the citizens. The table may also n<fed the following ex¬ planation. The attendances are computed in this manuer: At each school house the num - ber of Directors, patrous and teachers was noted and these uumbers added constituted the aggregate of presences during the risita- lion. As a genera! matter, we were liighly gratified with our reception by tlxe'Directors and their honest efi'orts to make our visit profitable. Duriug our e^caminations last summer in mid-harvest, we could not hut admire the spirit whioh seemed lo actuate most of onr boards. In spite of the claims of suffering crops, we had, in two cases out of three, a fall Board—some of the e::cep- tions were fouud in boroughs, where the ouly excuse seemed to be that it was too hot,— aud a few others iu Districts in which school matters have not yet risen to sufficieut im¬ portance to command the attention even of Directors. Wheu we compare our own experieuce with those of othet Couuty Superintendents, we know we feel proud of Lancasier county.— The importance of having Directors and pa¬ trons preseut at the time of visitation can hardly he over stated. It becomes then the great event of the term, and it is clothed with a certain circumstance that impresses the minds of the young so deeply, that years will uot wipe out. In the hands of the Teacher who is wise, it is a healthful stimn- lent always at hand. We well remember the proudest day of our life, was on an occasion similar to this. No motive is more powerfal—and may we not add none is more noble than a desire to win the approving smiles of father and motlier.— We have witnessed scenes of thi.^ kind that made the unbidden tear start. To see a father's face kindling with a flush of houest pride—-a mother pale with fear and anxiety, aud a child conscious of power, laboring to exhibit the results of hard toil aud win a parents blessiug, is enough to chalteuge the admiration of the moat stoical. Would that parents were more alive to the importauce of encouraging their childreu iu the wearisome duties of school routine. Then we shoald not hare so many dull, listless and lifeless pupils to clog and injure our schools as we uow have, and the next generation would not be afilicted with so many uuthinking, unrea¬ soning men aud womeu, who live by others opinions—mere machines themselves. In¬ stead of 1800 or 2000 presences we ought to have at least 10,000 in a county like this. May we aak the readers of this to see how large an increase may be secured during the next year. One item in the above table deserves a few apecial remarks—we refer to the 378 visits made by Teachers. - Most of these were made by the permission of Directors and at their expense. In some cases they were even urged lo go, wheu there was seeming reluc¬ tance from fear of patrons. The benefits arising from thrse Teachers visits, vary very mnch, and may be said to depend altogether upon the disposition of the visitor. We know of a case iu point; a young teacher of uo experience and bnt little tact, was employ¬ ed by one of our boards. After a month's trial it was feared she would fail, aud as a possible remedy, one of their number waa appointed to take her arouud to several of the best' schools iu the districts, that good methods, &c., might be seen aud imitated.— Tbe duty was honestly and tenderly dis¬ charged.

BLACKi(F.RaY Wine.—There is uo wine equal to the blackberry wlue wheu properly made, either in flavor or for medicinal purposes, and all persons who can conveniently do, so, should manufacture enough for their owu use every year, as it ia invaluable iu sickness as a tonic, and nothing is a better remedy for bowel diseases. We therefore g ve the receipt for making it, and having tried it oar¬ selves, we speak advisedly on the subject:— " Measure your berries aud bruise them; to evory gallon adding one quart of boiling wa¬ ter. Let the mixture stand twenty-four hours stirring occasionally; then strain off the liquor into a cask, to every gallon adding two poands of sugar; cork tight, and let it stand j till the followiug October, aud yoa will have wine ready for use, withont further straining or boiling, that will make Ups smack as they never smacked under similar influence before." Blackberry Jam.—Gather the fruit iu dry weather; allow half a pound of good browu sugar to every pound of fruit; boil the whole together gently for au hour of till the black¬ berries are soft, stirring and'mashing theiu well. Preserve it like auy other jam, and it will ha fouud very useful in families, partic¬ ularly for children; regulating their bowels, aud enabling you to dispense with cathartics. It may be spread on bread, or on puddings, instead of butter. Even when the blackber¬ ries are bought it is cheaper than butter.

Should we have 1 dry spell from the middle of August to the first of October, as is frequently experienced, wheu the ordinary pasture is parched, an acre or two of coru sowed broadcast^ come in most opportunely and gratifying. Nu farmer, who values the product of his dairy cows, will ever neglect to provide, iu this way, for their sustenance, duriug the most trying portion of the year. "House OP IIe.\ FKATnF>Rs."—At Pekin, in China, there ia a phalanstery called the " House of Hen Feathers," where the poor are lodged for one-fifth of a farthing per night. It is simply a vast hall thickly strewb with feathers. Men, women aud childreu all lie together iu'the beauty of communism; an immense coverlet is then let down over the party, with holes through which the sleepers put their headsi so as not to b'e suf¬ focated. At daylight the phalansterian can¬ opy is hoisted up, after a signal from the tam tam, to invite holeholders to draw back their heads or swing. A M.A.I) Horse.—Recently in Keokuk, Iowa, a horse that hud hitherto been very gentle, refnsed to euter the stable. After running her about until he was perfectly exhausted, the owner concluded to leave her in the yard.— About midnight the neighborhood was alarm¬ ed by a most awful bellowing, and coming to the yard where the mare was confined, found that she had attacked a calf in the yard, aud had literally stamped it into the grouud. She had also bitten onf« or two cows, takiug as much as apound of flesh out ofone. The men uow succeeded in driving her iuto the stable, wheu she commenced tearing the flesh from her own foieleg, and stripped it completely offto the pastern joint, when tbe owner, having procured a guu, pnt an eud to the creature's misery. WiSDOSi.—An exchange tells the atory of a preacher who observed that it was a strikiug proof ofthe wisdom and benevolence of Provi¬ dence, that death was placed at the eud of life—thus giving time to make the necessary preparation for that event. This calls to mind the profound remark of a philosopher wbo admired the arrangement of placing Suuflay at the end of the week instead of the middle, which wonld make a broken week of it i UOLLAU cll Hba»-e of «iock of rim Luaeu^'Kr O.f Cj.. tur ibelaul „ix moQthK.bas this day I-r^^u diirUred.pay¬ able 00 deiuaod at thtt TraaFiin^r'n utticn.

Kbadino to Popils.—It is an excellent practice to select, ticcastonally, a passage or paragraph, full of instruction on some practi¬ cal subject, to be read by the teacher to the pupils of a school, or, it may be, to au older class, according to ita nature and applicatiou. Iu a achool where there may be a class of lads lookiug forward to business, the follow- selection may be read with advantage, to be followed by judicious remarks from the teacher, drawing a parallel between the per¬ formance of datiea in the school-room and in the employment of the merchant. B'ew boys will fail of receiving a stimulus from councils so tersely preseuted as these. The lad who cannot be made to perceive aud feel that the spirit, manuer, aud tact whiuh bnsiness will demand of him hereafter must begin to be exhibited in the school room, may be set down as an unpromising candidate for success in the great school of life. The passage is taken from that most valaable publication, HunVs Merchant's Magazine. Cou-NBEL TO MERcnA.vTa' Clerkb.—Make yourself indispensable to your employers; that is the golden path to success. Be so industrious, so prompt, so careful, that ifyou are abseut one half hour oat of the usuaj time you will be missed, and he iu whose employ you are shall say—" I did not dream George waa so useful." Make yoar employer your friend, by performing with minateness On their way home it waa suggest-' ^rhatever task he sets before you ; aud above ed that she shoald try soma of theaa things all, be not too nioe to lend a hand al dtrty "Grave Nox.'jexse."—An old gentleman in Englaud is having a walled grave constructed for himself in tbe parish churchyard, heing afraid that if the work is left to his friends to carry out after his decease, his wishes as to the mode of his interment will not be atten¬ ded to. Vanilla.—The vanilla, so much prized for Us delicious flavor, is the product of a viue which grows to the top of the loftiest trees. Its leaves somewhat resemble those of the grape. The Uowers are red aud yellow, aud wheu they fall off, are succeeded by the pods, whicb grow in clusters, like our ordinary beans ; green at first, they change to yellow aud finally to a dark brown. To be preserved they are gathered when yellow, and put iu heaps for a fow days to ferment- They are afterward plaoed in the sun to dry, fiatteued hy the hand, and carefully rubbetl with cocoa- nut oil, aud theu packed in' dry plantain leaveij, so as to coufine their powerful aro¬ matic odor. The vanilla be^ is the article used tu sceut snuff, flavor ice creams, jellies, &c. The plant grows in Central America aud other hot countries. Gloves.—^The custom of blessing gloves at the coronation of the kings of t'race, which still exists, is a remnant of the Eastern prac¬ tice of investure by a glove. A remarkable instance of this ceremony is recorded. The unfortunate Emperor Cooradin was deprived of his crown and life by the usurper Manfred. ¦When he ascended the scaffold, the injured prince, lamenting his hard fate, asserted hia right to the crown, and as a toten of inves¬ ture threw his glove among the crowd, en¬ treating it might be sent to some of his rela¬ tions who would avenge his death. It was taken up by a knight, and brought to Peter, King of Arragon, who, iu virtue of this glove, was afterward crowned at Palmero. Death from Uangiso.—-It is generally sup¬ posed that tbe neck oflhe executed is broken, but this is a mistake. A Boston physician says that he has examined the bodies of about eighty peraons executed, aud iu all but one instance there was no dislocation. The effect of execution is to atop instautly the &ow of blood- It is atopped in evwry part ofthe sys¬ tem, though the valves of the heart continue to throb for a long time.

Cephas assured him that he should never be gnilty of fooling any girl—much less oae so worthy as Miss Nancy Blynn.
" I'm glad lo hear it I" exolaimed the Judge. "Of course I never believed you could do such a thing. But we sboald be careful of appearances, Cephas. (Just another little handful of straw; that will do.) People have already got up the absurd story that you are going to marry Nancy."
Tip's ears tingled. {There was a brief si¬ lence, broken only by the rustling of the straw. Then Cephas eaid.
"Why absurd, father?"
"Absurd—because—why, of course, it isn't true, is it ?"
"I must confess, father," replied Cephas, " the idea has occurred to me that Nancy- would make me—a good wife."
It is impossible lo say which was the most astonished by this candid avowal, the Judge or Master William Tansley. The latter had never once imagined that Cephas' intentions
