THE IOVE OP AGATHA KOIMES.
CHA1»TER I. " Curse bim ! No. I told him I*d aee yoa in your coffiu first. What, let you marry tho son of my greateat euemy, the aon of a treach¬ eroua fatlier, aud a light-o'-love, jilting moth¬ er?

And Agatha Holmes heard all this without a word, but her face was of a deathly white ; aud her sharp nails almoat brought the hlood in ber clenched hands, as she stood hy the window ami looked out.
The furious old mau walked up and down the room ouce or twice more, tht^u takiug np the poker be punched at tbe fire, theu threw it dowu with a craah ; aud finding hia daugh- I ter atill did not apeak, he went up to her and seiziug her by the shoulder, shouted,
" Wby dou't you spe.^k, yon obstinate fool ? Laying plans for a rebellion, are you ? Mark my words, ifyou marry that sneaking, pov- erty-atricken conntry doctor, I disowu you, and curse you. Curae you, mind yoa I Do yon hear now V and with a '• ba! hal" that showed how eshausted be waa with his pas¬ sion, the old man sat down in his chair.
Slill the girl did not answer, but she turn¬ ed around and threw an appealiug glanoe at ber mother, who sat pale, terror-stricken, and weeping over ber knitting at the other side of the room. At the frightful threat of Mr. Holmes, the poor woman had ri-en in¬ stinctively in her chair, aud said, *' Oh ! Wil¬ liam," tben suuk hack again, well knowing how little she could do to calm such turhuleut passion.
The newapaper, which the old man had taken from the table, shook and rattled in hia trembling hands as he folded and unfold¬ ed it, and bis ahaggy brows knit over bis blood-shot eyes, aa be endeavored in vain to fix hia attention on it. At last he threw tbe paper on the tahle, and hrought hia large hand dowu beavily upou it, exclaimiug,
" Aud I tell you, too, if you ever willingly see that man again, I'll disown you. I'll curse you with, my dyihg breath," he almost shrieked, aa be again wouud himaelf up to liia former pitch of passion.
At thia Agatha Holmes took a^tep forward leaned her hand on the table to sapport her trembling form, and spoke so slowly, distinct¬ ly and firmly, tbat her father listened inspite of himaelf.    She said,
"Yott will not ourae me, for without your permiaaion I'll never marry Richard Lee ; but you may disown me if you please, for I will aee him once more before we part forever," and theu she left tbe room.
airs. Holmes arose to follow her, bat was checked before she laid her hand on the knob of the door by her busband exclaiming, " Stay here, will you ? I'll have none of your whimpering over her to weaken my authority," and the poor, cowed woman took her seat again, tha hot tears falling over her knitting work,
Agatha went to ber room, threw heraelf on the floor, and laid her aching head on the side of the bed. She did not weep, trouble seemed to have made her dumb. She felt too well tbat her obstinate, implacable father would carry ont his threat ; she could not marry with a curse upon her, so sbe, wbo bad tasted so few of the joys of life, saw this sweet love pass away from her lip3, untouched. How ber heart rebelled! From childhood she bad growu up, deprived, by her father'a savage whims, of mauy of childhood's plea¬ sures ; overlooked by him, qr ouly noticed to be thwarted, caressed by her delicate, timid mother by stealth ; and now, just as tbe world waa growing fair and beautiful, just as tbe mystic veil had beeu lifted, and a iloud of light let iu on her cold beart, to re¬ turn to the old, dreary hopeleaauess 1 And to gratify a father's revenge, only for tbis !
Years before he had loved with all the in¬ tensity aud ferocity of his ferocious nature the mother of Ricliard Lee, bad been eugaged to her, but had so frightened her with bis ' wild passions, tbat alie had brokeu her troth with bim. Theu George Lee, his most inti¬ mate associate, bad wooed tlie girl that be bad long loved, aud married her. He was only a village doctor, witb a amall income, and year hy year tbe little that be could save somehow slipped out of hia hands, aud Wil¬ liam Holmes held his uote.=i, aud was a bard creditor; and jnst as bis sou was looking for¬ ward to the time whon be could asaist his father, George Lee escaped from William Holmea, and all other creditors, aud went to settle tbat last accouut with the most inexo¬ rable of them all, death.
In the meauwhile, William Holtnea' purse had fattened in proportion as Dr. Lee's grew tbin. He was a good lawyer and a keeu bu siness man, and when, after buildiug bimself a comfortable house, he began to look arouud like a great bloated epidar, to see whom he might inveigle into it, he married little Annie Harris. Everybody envied the new mistresa of the new house, and of Mr. Holmea' purse. In the aecond year of their marriage Agatha was bom, aud she grew up a sturdy Uttle thing, mode bard by the storma of her father's passion, and the dew and sunlight of her mother's love.
Bat, poor girl I she forgot tbat there was any warmth in the mother's breast, abe only fell that thia brighter, more dazzUug light waa I to be withdrawu.
. All that cold autumu day Agatha kept her j room, but the next morning sbe appeared at her usual place at tbe head of the breakfast '. table, mnoh to her father's aatisfaction, who disliked his coffee from any otber handa thau | hers. As Mr. Holmes was setting himself to ' his paper with bis feet on the fender, she said: "I have written a note to Dr. Lee, sir, re¬ questing him to call here thia moraing. If you objeot to his coming to this hoose, Imuat meet him somewhere else, for I musise© him ibis onoe.   Yoa oau lead It, air."

Only let us bave faith iu each other, darliug, aud all will go well."
Agatha Holmes thongbt sbe had uo bope, that ahe had quite made np her miud she should never marry Dr. Lee; bnt still the knowledge ofhis love made her very bSppy, and hopo ia never dead at tweuty. Her father watched ber curiously but silently.
" I dou't se'e that ahe'a any more quiet tban common, love is uo deep matter with a wo¬ man," he thought, and he hectored hia wife and snarled at his daaghter as usual.
Agatha visited but liltle in the village.— Mr. Holmes hated to be bored with compauy, aud sneered at sewiug circles, Dorcaa meet¬ ings, aud the like ; aud Dr. Lee'a not very lucrative, hut far spread pi-actice, claimed so mucb of hia time lhat they aeldom met.
In the monotonoaa discbarge of her domes¬ tic dntiea, with nothing to lighten up her life, except a furtive smile from her lover now and then, the next three years paased. At last came a great aorrow. Her mother, who had been starving for years for kind words and gentle household afiections, qniet¬ ly laid down tbe great harden ofher life, and shut up iu tbe grave the little remaining happiuess ofher daughter.
Poor Agatha felt as if she had never knowu trouble till then, as if this aorrow waa a judgement for past repiuings, tbat in her own sellish regrets her mother's love had beeu forgotteu. |
The firat shock over, the same old routine of domestic duties was gone through with; hut now she misaed the habit of caring for the invalid, aud the kind word and smile, and deprecating look of her mother'a eye, as if asking her forgiveueas for not preventing her unhappiness. Agatha had only more bitter memories now thau hefore her mother's death ; except thia everything was uuchan- ged, the house could have been no more qniet thau it w.13, and her life no moro une¬ ventful, so, with a cbill at the heart, she saw the gray shadowa of her life cloae around her.
William Holmes, when he thought of the matter at all, congratulated himself on his having prevented his daughter from marry¬ ing Dr. Lee. He had not only tasted some of the sweets of revenge, but had secured for himself a housekeeper, who administered most unfailingly to his comforts. His favorite dish waa always doue to a turu; his toast was as brown as an oak leaf in tho antumn ; bia cofiee might have delighted au Arab ; and his tea have been approvingly nodded over by a Chiuese mandarin. And beaidea thia, as he looked up from bis book, or his writing, or hia newapaper of an evening, always on tbe opposite side of the table, he saw a fair grave face bending over a piece of aewing or knitting, tbe fingers moving steadily, almost uuconacioualy, uever aighing, uever seeming to feel more than an.automaton. Yes, it suited him, and as his shaggy brow fell again overthebook, or writing, or paper, he felt the comfort of such a daughter in his iumost soul.
Once, for a little while his serenity was diaturbed. A brother lawyer, of nearly his own age, began to visit Agatha. He wss a rich man, aud a widower with soveral child¬ ren. At tho possibility of losing her, Mr. Holmea occasionally felt that his daughter's life was not as bappy as it might be, aud that, to escape the irksomenesa of hia home, she would prefer the liberty of one of her own ; but she quietly dismissed her suitor, saying sbe sbould never marry, aud be agaiu settled ! himself In hia former  comfortahle serenity
CHAPTER II.
At laat it was known in the village that a young orphan cousin of Mrs. Lee's was going to maka tbe widow's house her home. Tbe girl waa reputed to he beautifal, aud au in¬ valid. Tbe rumor reached even to the qniet parlorof Agatha Holmes. She, who had thought that no joy or aorrow could quicken a pulae again, so dreary and hopeless did she tbiuk ahe had become, became suddenly con- acioua of a jealous pang, and was now, for tbe first time, really aware how much sbe had boped tnrough tbeae long years. A restless longiug to know something of Miss Kirtley .seized her, and as she came out of church ahe lingered slowly amoug the gossips lo catch atray informatiou of oue whom ahe looked npon as her rival; and if sbe seemed harder to please than hitherto, and tossed over tbe gooda longer in the village stores, it waa wbeu ahe would hear a couple of chat¬ ting girls diacuaa the beaaty aud many ac- compliabmenta of Dr. Lee's cousin.
At lengih it was knowu everywhere, aud be aure tbat Agatha waa not tbe laat to hear this piece of gossip, that Emma Kirtley had arrived. If auy one had'oared to notice—but no one felt sofficient interest to notice her at all—we aay if any bne had cared to notice her in church on the first Sunday after the Miss Kirtley's arrival in the villago, they would have aeen the*usually quiet, self-absorbed, Mias Holmea glancing furtively all the time of the gathering of tbe congregation, in the direction of Mra. Lee'a pew, a qnick, restless uplifting of the eyelida, and an unsual com¬ pression about the always compressed mouth. But no one accompanied Mrs. Lee except her son. And now Agatha's attention was turned to him. It waa a satisfaction to her that he glanced at her with his usual quiet, meaning smile, tbat for a little while yet ahe would not have to give him up in her heart. i    She waa now wakened up from her long
her. She thought abe bad really renounced him ; hat now .she discovered that, tbrough all difficultiea, abe had hopwd oue day to be hia wifo ; that, in her heart, sbe had consid¬ ered thf* betrothal a tacit oue.
So the summer time wore on. Agatha bat¬ tling with herself, getting, one by one, thorna for her martyr'a orown; pierced by them, now and tben, aa her lover gave her oue of those understanding amilea, or a liugeriug preaanre of the haud, as they casually met, only to make ber more wretched, when ahe shut her¬ aelf up alone, and aaid, " He must love her in j timo. I can never marry him, and, if I could, ! I ought never link aucb a worn-out spirit witb his."
" So, as we said before, the summer time I wore away, aud the antumn oame in with all i ita gorgeous but saddeuiug beauty. I
Agatha had had one or two more suitors, | middle-aged, weU-to-do meu, lured by her father'a wealth to seek the grave, notable girl; but sbe had said to heraelf, " I will atay always with my father; I made tbo aacrifice ibr bim, aud it shall be complete." .
Now, bowever, came one witb whom it waa | different. He was a man of thirty—not so i very mucb older tbau herself now—oue whom j she had known from a hoy, and known well too, as a youug man studying iu her father's ofiioe. She had alwaya liked him, aud sbe | knew that he was one whom she oonld always | respect and rely upon. Wbeu Mr. Merriok'a ofi'er was made, Agatha asked time to consid¬ er it. Why ahould not a happy home be hers ? Anything would be hetter thau tbe lifo sbe waa now leadiug. So ahe took ber bounet aud shawl, oue afternoon, and atrolled over the river, for abe conld come lo no deter¬ miuatiou at home. But iu the deptha of the woods it was no eaaier to decide. Sbe began to feel a restless impatience of the dull pain of her preseut lot, aa if any change would be for tba better; and then she thoaght of the loug yeara of her mother'a uuhappy, unloving married life. Aud ao the afteraoon waued away, the red and yellow leaves falling silent¬ ly around her; a rabbit now and then hop¬ ping close up to her, aud eyeiug her with its bright, black eyea, totally fearless of the mute figure at the foot of tbe tree. Tbe auu was trying to sink rapidly, and the whole sky was ablaze with crimson and orange. Agatha was still as undecided as ever. At last she beard the plash of oara, and the sound of gay voices, on the river below her. Sho roae and walked a short distance, and saw a small boat mov¬ iug slowly aloug through the golden colora of the river; a sweet face upturned to the bright evening sky, aud singing an evening hymn, and Richard Lee carefully enveloping the alendor form in a happy shawl. Aud the lone¬ ly figure on the bank ahove watched lill she saw the boat and jta happy freight glide into dark shadows of tbe wooded hill, and then she aat down and wept.
When ahe looked up again, the orange and gold had faded to a pale amber, aud lights were beginuiug to shiue out on tbe oppoaite hill.   She must go home now, and sbe must make her decision; for Mr. Merrick was to reci;i7e bis answer in the moruing.   Still sbe only drew her shawl more closely around ber, and watched the lights as they were reflected in the water on the other aide ofthe river, or crept up the hill aide.   Tbe aad girl pictured to herself the mauy bappy honseholda before her.   The huabaud'a return, the comfortable chair, tbe glowing fire, tbe bright light and cheerful table ; she saw tbe wife aud mother moving about with happy, quiet couteut; lit¬ tle children, with tbeir sweet faces waiting for the good night kiss; or white-robed figurea kneeling witb clasped hands, and reverent eyes, and asking, witb ull a child's loviug faith, "Please, God, bless dear papa and mam¬ ma 1"   She aaw more  than this.    She saw how thoaa two, tbe happy heads of the fami¬ ly, had goue, aide by aide and hand in band) with firm, loving  hearts along the road of years; tbrougb pleasant places often, aye, very pleasant places; but then again Ibrough | dark shadows, and over dark sorrows ; aud she knew   that faitb in God, and  mutual love, had sanctified all.   There she saw the light from  their own  library windows, far acroas the river,  far up the hill; and she thought of the sorrowing, unloved life of ber dead mother; of the abadow that was alwaya over her brightest houra ; of tbe  cares and tronblea that she bad lo bear, unaympalbised with ; of her lonely, desolate aorrow over a ^iitle coffin.   And abe thought, too, that with¬ out this, that eveu with mutual respect, aud kindness, and sympathy, perhaps the ghoet of a love might tako ita place uubidden by her side, sitting by her at the fireside, clasp¬ ing a hand that waa giveu to her hushand, looking at ber wilh tender, reproachful eyes, wben ber glance was on another; between ber wedded husband and herself, alwaya and alwaya.    So Agatha decided;   and tbe next moming Mr. Merrick, too, waa told that "she sbonld never marry."
Aud now sbe set her aelf resolutely to look ber future in lhe face. She aaw her line of duty plainly marked out. To admin¬ ister, as ahe had alwaya done, to her father'a comforts ; to live less in her own thoughta, aud her own aorowa ; to help aa far aa she cotild, thoae who were in "sorrow aud trib¬ ulation ;" to give cheerful worda alwaya, sympathy ' alwaya ; and ao look forward, tbrongh the gray light that was now around ber, to the brightness and peaoe ofhersetting son.
It was aoou kuown in tbe village that Emma Kirtley was very ill, dying 'perhaps.— That evening, on the water, sho had taken cold. It was goaaiped of, too by the nurse who bad been called in to assist Mrs. Lee. Now the poor girl had called on her cousin iu her delirium, begging bim not to leave her wheu sbe loved him so ; of bis soothing worda and gentle miniatratioua; and all that Agatha heard.
At last it was known that the present danger was over, but that the frail invalid recovered loo slowly to give much hope of her ever getting aotually well.
Agatha Holmes' tweuty-fiftb birth-day had arrived.   It was the lost day of the year and, aa she sat in her room, watching the snow falling steadily and noiaeleasly, wonder-
poor girl I trying to collect her facultiea.
" Agatha, Agatha," he commenced, "(tbia ia like it used to be. I did not dare hope, wbeu I came in, after what your father haa aaid, that old timea could be revived ; but it all seems so natnral now that I know he will couaent to our marrying. I'm rich, now, Aga¬ tha—that ia, rich for a village doctor, you ¦know—and he must let you be my wife."
" Don't, Riohard 1 don't torture mo so !" was the reply. " I kuow my father better than you do. It was only when you paid the last note he held ofyour father'a, that I beard him mutter to himself, aa he took it out and looked at it. Aye, aye; work on, Richard Lee, hard as you will, daughter of mine shall never be daaghter of Bessie Morrison's Yon see it is imposaible; but atill, I'm ao glad to eee you again, for I want to tell you that you must not consider youraelf hound to me. I look upou the engagement as broken'; you know I said ao, yeara ago."
Agatha waa now rapidly recovering her Bttlf-poasession. Her tbonghts, for the past few montbs, all tended to this direction. Dr. Lee looked at her with an obstinate smile, which, poor thiug! made her heart warm in spite of herself, and which uearly melted away all her determination.
She weut ou, " I waut you to understand, indeed I do, lhat what I say is so. My father will never let me marry you, aud you muat not waate yonr life iu vaiu hope, and go on uucheered by a wife's sympathy to the end." Al lhe pictare which ahe had called up, Agatha felt chilled herself; then she resumed, camly, almoat coldly,
" Indeed I very serioualy thougbt of mar¬ rying some one else last fall."
Agatha Holmes could not help feeling glad at the aad, disappointed look which overspred her lover's faoe. She paused for a momeut, then aaid,
" What I tell you is true. I think married life the happiest life in the world, where love ia; and I believe that love often comea, if WB have respeot firat, and mutual sympathies. After this, Biehard, we can be friends, but never anything more."
" Do yoa mean to say, Agatha, that you are eugaged to some one else 7" asked Dr. Lee, walking gloomily up aud down the room.
'' No, I'm not engaged.    I only apoke of it lo ahow you how completely annulled I con¬ sider your pledge to me.   Now I have some¬ thing which I want to say to you : I heard, last fall, daring Miss Kirtley'a illness, thai abe was attached to you.    If yoa can love ber sufficieutly, I believe, from what I have heard of ber, that she wiil make you a good wife.   Dou't let any hope of ever marrying me,  Richard, come betwefiu yoa and your happiuess  with your cousin.   You kuow 11 can never be your wife; my father will never \ cooseut, ao now good-bye," and, giving him , ber hand, she was gone before hehad collect¬ ed himself auffioioutly to answer her.
Before the elm treea were green again, Richard Lee had moved away to the West | with his mother, and wilh Emma Kirtley as bis wife.
In two years from this time WilHam Holmes was ou hia death-bed ; and he aeemed to he djing as he had lived,astern, iufiexible mau, askiug sympathy from no one. All Agatha's attentioua be received in aullen ai¬ lence. The poor girl wondered if be was go¬ ing to die *' and make uo sigu," if eveu death itself could uot melt that hard heart. At last, ono moruing, just aa the gray dawu was breaking, Agatha, as ahe lifted the night- lamp from tbe chimney-place, held it so the iight fell fall on her face. Her father follow¬ ed the light in the indolent, half-unconacioua way that becomes a part of sickueaa, and, at last, they rested ou hia daughter's face. Ho lay for a long while perfectly quiet. Agatha had extinguished tbe light, and was standing by the open window, wearily watching the slow approach of moming, and listemng to tho birds aing.
"Agatha!"   There was aomething in the toue of tho voice uot usual to Mr. Holmes, and Agatha quickly moved to the bedside.— " Agatha,  you'll be very lonely when I'm | gone, won't you ?" be said.
It waa the firat allnaion he had ever made ' to his death. For oue little momeut sbe thought, "uot more louely than I've heeu all my life;" but she replied, as cheerfully as she could " I sbould misa you very much; but you know that I care very little for geu¬ eral aociety, aud besides, I hope you will soon be well."
"No, I shall never be well." and after tbat his eyes followed wherever ahe went arouud the room. Perhops it was the night's watch¬ ing, or perhaps it was tbe sickly gray of the morning light; or it might be tbe sickly light of all her former years gathering more deeply around ber now, that gave her face that ghastly look tbat ao attracted her father's at¬ tentiou.
"I most wisb now that you'd been married, Agatha, I sbould like to have had my property go to my own flesh and blood.    I suppose you'd heen happier too, wouldn't you ?" His daughter felt tortured, hut replied, "That depends upou circuuHtauces." Again there waa a long pause, wheu Mr. Holmea suddenly said,
" I wisb uow tbat I'd let you marry Dr. Lee ; somehow people see things difl"erently ou a sick-bed, Agatha ; but I hope you've not been very unhappy about it," aud he eyed hia daughter closely, as if wiahing to have this hope confirmed.
" One'a happineas don't always consist in being married, you know father; bul oh I Pm ao glad that you care for me," and with au outburst of tears, Agatha leaued her head on her father's pillow.
Perbaps aa the dying man feebly stroked the thin, pale faoe beside him, he thought of the many waated livea and aching hearts he had oaused, of the love he had quenched, of the happy fireaide hoars he had deprived himself of.   Who knows?
Before the next dawu, a white sheet waa stretched over a rigid fignre on the large bed, aud Agatha, witb her head ou the window- sill, was watching with baming eyo-halla for the rising sun.
fluahiug up the old gray oolor of her areas, as if it kusw it was a comfort to her.
Agatha mechanically took her knitting from the table. Sue was accustomed to ait at thia hour withouta light, and her kniitiDg waa her conatant companion. It waa not any of" the dialaateful faucy work ao common uow-a- daya, only a homely blue atockiug. This sho liked, Th ¦ bright needles clicked ou rouud after round, and her sleniler fiugers worked busily, but it left ber eyes and her braiu idle, or for other employmeut. .4nd sometimea, in tbe glowinir co.ils, abe built up a bappy bome for othera in the far West; and aometimes abe aaw hie children arouud, making ber oid age brighter thau ber yonth bad been. And so it waa to-Dight, Her old memoriea would como back! How sbe hungered for one little crumb of the love which sbe knew was so laviahly throwu about in other happy homes I She lived on, a solitary, unloving, unloved life.— Both her nature aud ber educatiou made it impossible forher to go out iu the world after h^r father'a deatb to seek for new companion- shipa. Her frieuds wero the poor people of the village, for whom she knit intermiQable blue Blockings, aud made up fiannel aud broths. She knit on, aud on, the firelight dancing arouud ber, aud playing coquetish antica iu the distaut cornera of the room: aud out-of doors, snow and sleet wore holdiug their fantastic revela, decking tbe evergreens; bailding up feathery wbite bulwarka ; and making a soft ermine bed for tbe old year to die upon.
Five years to-day, and sbe had hid Rich¬ ard Lee good-bye. Since then many ailver threada have been woven in the browu of her hair. She'saw thom today, aud though she sighed, she was half glad she waa growing old so faat. Bat oh I such a lonely, uncared- for old women as she would be 1 Her few poor pensioners, aud ber cats, and her flow¬ ers—theae were to be tbe objects ofher iuter¬ est for tbe reat of her life. And the melan" cboly wind moaned in sympatby as ahe laid her head on her arm, on the table, and shed tears that gave her no relief. The hand that held the half finiahed blue stocking dropped by her side, and the fire-light flashed on the bright steel needlea ; the little kitten darted from under the table for the big hall of blue yarn that rolled ou the floor, and finding it¬ aelf unchecked by its mistross, and Ka juve¬ nile indiscretions winked at by its mother, it

A LEARNED COLT.
Dr. Sutherland of De Kalb, New York, is t^ believer in the intellectuality of the horse. He believes that constant kinduess in the training of them would result in the attainment on the part of the horae to " au elevated position in the scale of intelligence, uot only distinguish¬ ing themselves among their kiud, hut actually outstripping many of their owners, as far as their nobler attributes are concerned." With this high appreciation of the capacity of the borae, the Doctor recently purchased a fine eolt for the purpose of tryiug the power of kiudnesa iu the endeavor to develop bis miud, A correspoudent of the St. Lawreuce Republi¬ can givea the result as follows:
" During my wanderinga a short lime aince, I chanced to atop at Hermon. Hearing of Dr. Sutherland's leamed colt I had the curiopity to go aud see him, and fouud him a prodigy iu learning, besides being qnite a curiosity. Tbe Doctor calls him the " White Pilgrim." His color ia a light nankeen, white mane and tail, aud wbite eyes. He ia a aplendid little borse. The Doctor tells me tbat he bas owned him only aix months—rode or drove him al¬ moat every day (aa his ridiug is considerable,) but atill duriug tbal brief time he broke bim to tbe saddle and harness aud taught the va¬ rious feata I aaw him perform, snob aa stand¬ ing upon hia hin.l feet, jumping the whip, kneeling dowu, lying down, aittitng up and walking on three lega.
He will unbuckle a common saddle-girth, and take ofi hia own aaddle ; he will step up to hia owu maater, make a very low bow, abake bauda, take his coat, oap and mittens off and lay them away, and wheu told, bring them all back lo him again. Witb cards he will tell hia age, tbe days in the week, montha in the year, &c. Wilh the alphabet he will spell auy simple word pat to him. Spread out a num¬ ber of playiug cards and lie will fetch the one called for. Ho will play a good gamo at old sledge, and beat you as often as you cau him, and toll your fortune, if requested. He will wallz around hia yard wiih quite as much eaae and grace as some of oar couutry gentlemeu, aud pass arouud a hat fnracontribuliou at the close of a performance. He ia a rare apecimen of horse flesh, aud his equal, I think, for beau¬ ty, activity aud intelligence could not be found considering the labor performed hy him and the short time he had been uuder discipline: aud the Doctor certainly de.'^erves the credit of beiug a great Horse Man."

Jast uow the wild pigeons roost iu innumer¬ able nnmbers in the Chenango Swamp, Craw¬ ford county, Pa., ahont teu milea long hy two or three wide, growu up with tamerackor laroh trees and alder busbea. The editor of the Ashtabula (O.J Sentinel haa been among the pigeons.   He pays:

GHAPTER in.
It was the last dayof December, aud Agatha Holmea' thirtieth birth-day. Heavy, lenden clouda had been gathering all day, aud at night-fall the snow-atorm set iu. At first it came down in large, soft llak«B, slowly and noiaelesaly, like the tread of angel'a feet; but aa the twilight deepened tlie fury of the stonn iucreased. Soou tho whole country was en¬ veloped in a white shroad, and the fine snow feU so fast and thick, that as Agatha looked from her sitting-room wiudow, she could soaroely discern the lights in the houses down in the village.
« Even their cheerfulness is shut out from me," she thought sadly, as she walked away. A glorious hickory-fire waa flashing and crack¬ ing in the open fire-plaoe, and Agatha drew her Uttle tahle and chair np hy it for compan¬ ionship.   Without, the anow and the sleet
Agatha's, he auswered her questious ahout hid journey about the storm, about his mother. " Agatha," he said, at last, " haven't you '¦ forgiven me ? I thought ^ou would after my letter, for I awear to you.bad I not seen Emma dying before my eyes I would never have married her. I couldnot make her few last years miserable; bnt she knew I had loved you, for my mother told her, aud ou- her death-bed, Agatha, she apoke of you, and aaid that perhaps now your father was dead, you would he a mother to hor little child." All Agatha could say was, " I'd nothing to forgive. I never received a letter from you/' and she looked at him va¬ cantly, as if unable to comprehend it at all.
The servant came in presently with lighta. She was one who had lived in the family for many years, aud knew Agatha since girlhood. She was a discreet woman, and did not euter the room witliout due announcement, aud then scarcely looked at the two by the firs- side, only at the kitten on the other side of the room merrily entangling the ball of yarn. Agatha saw the New Year in that morning, hut not alone; and as the sturdy, black clock in the corner tolled the " small wee hour" of one, Dr. Lee arose to go, saying,
" Remember, Agatha, no delays. Life is too short for us now to be long separated. I shall go tho day after to-morrow for my mother and little Emma, and then such a happy family as wo shall be. But won't the people talk though 1" aud Dr. Lee gave one of his happy laughs, aud—probably gavo Agatha aomething else.
Two o'clock atrack. Puss aud kitten were asleep, the fire had long burned down before Agatha Ihonght of moving from the seat whore Dr. Lee had left her; then she slowly went to her ohamber like some one iu a hap¬ py dream. As she put her light ou her toilet tahle, she caught a glimpse of her face in the glass. Such a change! she scarcely knew heraelf; she looked almost like the Agatha of ten yeara hefore, and not like the pale- faced woman, wilh sad eyes aud hard lines about the mouth, and hair beginniug to whiten, that had last lookod in that glass.— Then she began to brush tho hair too see If the silver threads oonld not be hidden—for his sake—aud as she did thia she blushed at her vanity, and laughed a langh so happy tliat it atartled her. The Uttle chamber had not heard such a laugh for year.^. With what a thankfal heart she knelt by her bed¬ side that New Year morning, sayiug no words probably, only giving np a full heart to her heavenly Father, asking a blessing on the New Year and the new dutiea that she was to assume, and then ahe lay down and went to sleep aa happy as a child!
In leas than a month from that time, Agatha Holmes became the wife of.Dr. Lee. Poor Emma had been dead for a year or more, ao village gossips could make no ohjoction, though Agatha was not as beaatiful as the first wife had been; butit waa wonderful, they aaid, how-young and pretty sho had grown ; maybe because ahe had left off those sober- colored dresses ; but we kuow thatit was be¬ canse of the light refiectod from a loviug and loved aud satisfied heart.
