Cjntbin Susan S'lmpEion, Qge eighteen, nith the piTtty talent of p!?.asing men, was the aoknowledged bcllcofibeliitle Marrow-Squaeh VuUey.
This Ut'le talent of pleasing men ia aon^e- times given by uftture 113 a compensalion for the lack of every other nccompUshmetit, or the means of procuring nny; but tbis waa not the case with Cyntbin, who hod good Ynnkeo BBDse, .inii a vein of sprightlinessio her com¬ position, which bitter, na I tuke it, rfquires aeveral other talenta for ita support. ottn.Tffi>e it soon degeneratca into silliness—whence it 6Durs into vulg.n- ill-nature in the country girl —in the lady of society iuto anrcums.
Cynthiawaa pretty, in the freabneaa of her a-TO. Araerionn beauty comen forth like u flower, and is cut dowii- Thc lovoliiioss of girlhood rarely ripens iu tbe nnitron. And Cynthia was nfrnid to risk her lovline-s.'?, no doubt; for whilst ahe encouraged the atten tiona of mfiny "beaux" who, iu the languHge of her eocit'ty, '• wenl to aee hei" evening after evening, nt the the :iuug farni-hcuae of herfather, whenever any of theso swaina took the opportunity lo preaa upou her notice the nature of bia casr-, aud urge the iieci-ssily of ita epuedy eure,.i-Uc' cut the matter short with bim.
Truth mu^t ha snid, tiiat amongst ali ber admirers there waa not onu wbo wu.*! a priori— thati.^, beforo a reciprocation of hia love took place-n very desirablc^ mrtcb for her.
The richest wa."! Seth Taggart, who paid hia last visit to her one aflernomi, in a hiaod new suit of gbtsay, fine, black broad cloth. Pretty Oyntbi.'i was alone, and prepared by previouB experience to discern symptoms ofan approach¬ ing ii.SHauU upon tho Malak()fi\>f heratlVctions. She pureed h«r pretty little moulh, nnd sewed, with nimble-glancing fingers, on the sleeve of one of the old squire's shirts, of unbleached cotton ; and thought to herself what a. fool Seth Taggart was, and wondered how he would get out of tbe tlx in which be found himaelf, and how he could dare toabiok she had given him encouragement—and looked— very bewitching. Poor Seth sat on the verge of his chair, and gazed through the window, which wos open, into the woods, but his was a mind like that of Wordsworth's Peter, ¦' A primroae, on tfae riycr'a brim. A yullow primrose was to bim, And nothinp more."
Ile did not find any inspiration iu the woods, so he began to look into the ashea.
** Mias Cynthia," said he, at length. " did you over see a   crow ?"
"Ves, Mr. Seth," said site. l')lding her gua- HBt, anii looking down at it demurely aa a mouse.
" IJIni^'ti—aiii'i  it V- said Ketb. '•Very.'"
Then cain« a pause. " Darn it—I wiah she'd help me out," said Seth in his own thought. " The little minx knows what I want to say, and she mijht help me to say it."
What man has not thoucht this before uow, at courting time—and wished to borrow fem¬ inine tact, and the larger experience of women, to help him out of thc slough of despond he is beginniug to sink iuto ? Wbat mau would not give the world to know how tho last mnn, who offered bimstrif to her, got through with it ?
'Ever  see  an owl'."   said Seth, at  length, falling back upon his own resourcea, ¦Often, Mr. Seth.' lisped pretty Cynthia. ' U's got big eyes—ain't it, now V 'Very big eyes,' suid she. Seih grew  angry.    Angry   with himself, no doubt; but anger, Uko Phcebus Apollo at sun- ¦et, glows brighteat in reflectinn.    He thought it a ' mean shame,* she wouldn't  ' help him out,' while she sat there, looking ' good ecoogh to cat,' and laughing at him, as even his blunt perception told biro, whilst  her attention wqb apparently bestowed npon tbe  shirt-sleeve.— He wished it were his shirt she waa stitching EO assiduously.    He stirred up tbe ashes on the | hearth, and almost made up hia mind that ' he warn*t going to give her another chance at him:' hut Cynthia dropped her cotton-ball, and Seth, not riaing from his chair, stretched  out his long, lank arm, and picked it up.    Ho touched ! her hand, aa she took it back, and an electric ' shock thrilled throngh his veins, and made him feel * all over—over so,' oa he aome timo after¬ wards expressed the aensation to me.
* Mias Cynthy, may be you are fond of ma¬ ple candy?'
' Very,' said ehe.
' Well, now,' snid Setb, rising, ' the next time 1 come, I'll try and bring yon a great gob,'
But aa be redo home, behind hia old farm mare, he aaid to himself, * I reckon I ain't go¬ ing back to court a gal who aees a feller in a &x, and never helps him.^ And sure enough, he never did return. Miaa Cynthia lost her richest lover, and many folks, even to tbia day believe she wished him back again. It is the way of women to want the thiug that can't be hnd. 'At least, so men say (if not in practice, in theory,) and Cynthia's mouth wat'ered, I dare say, for many a week after, for that gob of maple candy.
The Mobal. L'ct every man, ob! pretty girl, pay court to you in his own way, and not in your way, and help him out at that, being sure, however, tbat you are in harmony with his mode of procedure. Never distSrb ice¬ cream when it is going to freese;' nor Uft tho pot as it begins to boil; nor make a false step and get out of time, when yonr. partner ia me- ¦. dilating a revers in the detiz temps, or the polka* ^lany a declaration of affection has been fright¬ ened off by somo wrong note sung in the treble of the duet, which put it out of harmony.
Cynthia, though so pretty a girl, and so ex¬ perienced in the art of saying ' no,' to an offer of marriage, had yet a good deal to learn in ber own ciufi; aii'i iudeed, no cspcienc** ever primes a wcman for the decisive uiouient — Each case must be met on principle, and not ou precedent It is our busines? to diticover,' in this story of ' Snip-Snap,' how far pretty Cynthia profited by the experience' abe prided herself upon in the rejection of her lovers.

It was a mellow autumn morning, and a rna- aet glow had tinged the woods at the back of 'Squire Simpson's home-stead.   It was Seth Taggarfs  wedding-day.   He was to marry, that evening, Susie Chase—a smiling little rose¬ bud of a wife, to whom he found plenty of things to say, aa aweet to Suaie's ears as to' her lipa hia maple candy-   Cynthia, as one of her best friends, was to be bridesmaid ; and as she wished to shine that night, in all her bravery, and wanted some new rlbbona for her head-dress, this want tempted .her. abroad, a little after noon, when the hnrveet-fielda were quiet andtho yoked oxen stood relieved from labor, leisurely chewing the aweet morsel re¬ aerved for that soft, sunny hour of rest, oa men of busineaa uae to do tho thought of the last letter written by the hand they love, till the burden of the day is laid aside, putting it apart (with all its" woman's non-senae, and balf un¬ reasonable fancies,) pure from the contact of the pile of yellow letters lying on their desk— offerings npon the ahrine of Jupiter Mammon. Our prelty Cjrnthia tripped along her path, ecattering a cloud of graaahdppers and crickets, as she stopped; and in her silly lU^e'pride of bcUehood her heart held,'though sl(0 wonld not have confessed the thonght, that her-relati.y.b value to her crowd of beanz Waa in the same proportion as that of one woman_tj) many graaaboppers.
At a turn in the path, she came suddanljon one of theae admirers—Frank Handy. Frank's facefinshed. Hohad been thinMsg of her when aho aarprised him—tlujaking of her sXi. that day and throngh a aleeplewoight; andia
' 1 shall like it, iu some respects, better than my prehent life,' said Handy. ' This farmor'a life, when tbere are no higher interest.s to nc couipauy it, dues nof draw out the best ener¬ gies of a mau His nature, Hke his thoughts, goes round aud round io the routine, like a squirrel in its cage, and makea no progress.'
' Thi;' mau thinks higher things than I think,' was Cynthia's thought as he said this, nnd, for ft momeul. she felt humbled iuhis presence; but she rallied her pretensions, remembered her bellehood and her conquests, and tho light in which sbe always had been looked upon by all her lovers, and was almost disposed to re¬ venge upon Frank Handy the passing feeling of inferiority. Frank stood in silence, twining the hop wreath for her head. He did not speak. Ilia thoughts were busied with the words that he wou'd say to her when he broke silence. He wna satisfied to have her waiting at hia eide—waiting for thc hop-wreath, with its pale green bella, that ho was twining leis- urvly; nnd Cynthia grew impatient as she found be did not speak to hcr. She addreased him eeveral questions, which he answered with an air of preoccupation. She wandered from his aide a few yards among tbe rocks, turning over with her foot some pebbles covered with gray and orange moss, and disturbing all the swarm of busy insect liTo, whieh made itshoine there. The influences of (be day stole into her heart, and made her answers more soft and natural.
At last Handy broke silence, calling hcr to him, as f.he stood watching the stir which the point of her foot hnd produced in an ant¬ hill.
*Mis3 Cynthia.'
* la it finished V ahe said quickly. ' Not the garland—hut the struggle in my
breast is finished. I have been questioning with myself whether I should sjiy to you what I am aboutto say.'
Cynthia gathered a leaf, and began slowly to tear apart ita delicate veina and fibres.
' Miss Cynthia, ia it pleasant to yon to have a man say he loves you V
* I don't koow, Mr. Handy. I suppose so.— That is, I think it ia very embarrassing some¬ times.'
* Why embarrassing, Mias Cynthia V He was taking her on n new  tack.    It waa
different from anything sho had ever before experieuced. She did not Uke this way of hav¬ ing his offer. ¦
'It ia embarrassing when I know thnt my only answer can be No,' she said, looking him in the face a moment, and then cisting ber eyes upon the lime leaf she waa dissecting.
* It would he more embarrasaiog, I tbink, if you were notso sure,' he a»id, 'and ifyou took the matter into consideration.*
* It never wanta any consideration with me, ?he answered.
* What! did yott never place before your I mind the subject of marriage V Have you \ been aatisfied witb tho vain triumphs of n belle '; And did you never look beyond, to ece what the happy duties of a wife, nnd the sweet ties of home might be ?
Cynthia laughed, but the laugh was affected and constrained. 'What nonaence, Mr. Ilan- dy!-      ¦
'It is not nonsense,' he replied ; ' 6uch thoughta are fit for maiden meditation—they aro womanly—and womanlj/, above everything else, I should wish my wife to be.'
* I hope ahe may be all you wish her. Mr. Handy. We will go now, if you plense, if you hi>ve finished my garland.*
' It ia not ready for you yet,* said Handy, passing it over oue arm while he took her hand ' Cynthia, belovod ! you must listen to me. She drew her hand away, but he took it again, and reaumed. ' You must let me feel its pulses beat against my hand, while I tell you the secret of my Ufe—of my Ufe, -for I have always loved you. I loved you when you were a blooming little girl,'_and we both went io school to Ezekiaa Reed, dear Cynthia. I have loved you againat hope—at times againat my better reason. I have hesitated to tell you this, ^because encumbranceB on my farm made my position leas than that which I thought ought to be offered to you. I have watched you witb your other admirers; and, in some momenta, have not thonght that any other had yonr preference, so that other men have taken their chance before me. Thia offer of a pro¬ fessorship, which adds a thousand doUars to my income, makes It possible for me to address you. Cynthia! there are depths of tenderness which no human eye has ever fathomed, in mmy a strong man'a heart—depths whioh perhapa, are never, by the shallower nature of your sex, entirely reciprocated or understood. It Is not alone my heart, it is mj very natnre —heart and eoul, mind and strength—that I offer to you. Thc lovo of you, like things ¦ which plants absorb and assimilate into their | ' own growth, his become part of me. This is tried and tme affection, Cynthia. It has wait¬ ed patiently untU the moment came whea it might be offered to your acceptance. Cynthia, if you wUl lay this little band in mine' (and he let jt fall, bnt stretched out his hand to-, ward her), * I wiU strengthen you, and elevate you, and guide you. You shall be a woman of higher rank" (aa Qod ranks women), foryour ^union'with a man's stronger, steadier, and more 'airigle-minded nature; and, Cynthia, your in¬ fluence for good on me will be incalculable.— Who can estimate wh^t a man owea to the af¬ fection of a woman ?, AU that I have in me that ia good wiU be dqublod by your influence. You moat draw forth—perhapa create—the ,gentlenoflBv dolioaoied, and the tentlornoss that oqinplete the manly qharaoter.'
He paused, and Cynthia atood with her hand hidden in thafolcla of her mantle.
*No,' sheewd alowly j *I am aorry, Mr.
Handy, but I.cannot be what you wish to you. •
Thero woa an etpbarraaaed rilenoe between
them for a few momenta, and then Cynthia,
bhe thought, he might woo her with more re- apect to her pretenaions. And he should wbo her. ir he lovtd her as he aaid he did, she knew her power was great.' He should bring hia homage uut coldly to tbe womanhood with¬ in her, but to^herself—to Cynthia Susan Simp¬ son, in t^pite ofthe fuU display ofall "her faults, and oven in opposition to his better rea¬ son. She was not to be defrauded of her tri-- umph, and it would be a great one, iudeed, if she forced him, by her faults themaelves,* to surrender at discretion.
'E)iey reached the steps over the stone fence which led on to the highway. In their path lay a disabled grasshopper.'  Prank set hia foot
00 it and crushed it firmly. 'Misa Cynthia,' aaid he, ' few women have the courage to treat rejected suitors thus.    It ia the true hunJani-
He helped her over the steps, and paused. He took the hop-wreath carefully from his arm, and gave it into her handa. She took it with an indifferent air, and, as ahe took it, cruahed some of the green blossoms. Sho would have treated liim with more courtesy (had Frank but known it), if ahe bad been entirely indif¬ ferent to hia admiration. ¦ '¦ * Miss Cynthia,* aaid he, now in a grave and measured tone, which, in spite of herself, im¬ pressed her with a'eonse of the powerlesBoeas of hor little arts when bronght into confict with his t-ylf possession and sincerity, ' I know very well how you havo dealt by many men, and I am uot diiipoaed to fall into the ranks, 'and take my chance among your many auitora. Il ia true, that the wound that you infiict on me, will leave its soar for Ufe; but I cannot make' mysolf reapect an offering even to you. And if you bave tbo feeling of true nobleness, which I have alwaysfancied I disceruedinyon, you would respect me, esteem me, love me less, for such a sacrifice. I shall never ^ffer myself again to you. Cynthiaatarted. Slight and rapid aa her movement was, he saw it> and repeated, * I shall never offer myself ngain to you. .\nd I leave thia . place to-morrow, nevA" to return to it, till I have subdued this lovc for you. To-night I shaU be at the *red- ding I am groomsman to Seth Taggart, and ahall stand np with you. I am going home to oonsider folly what haa passed, to convince'my- self (if I can) calmy, whether my love for you has been an error in my Ufe, for which my judgmentia responsible, or only its misfortune; |_ wheiber the Cynthia *I have loved is really capable, as I have dreamed, of scattering the olouds that dim her beauty, and ahining forth in her sweet queeriUneaa upon the lonely dark ness of (he man who can teaoh her what it is to love.

Nor ahnll I aay Snip ! more than once. In thia uncertainty I leave tbe matter to your eonaideration.'
' What impertinence !' thought Cynthia. ' I never heard of sueh a thing !' And she began to cry, standing alone upon the highway, hold¬ ing.her hop-wreath in her hand.
' I don't know what 1 had better.do. I wish behad taken somo other wny of speak¬ ing to mo. Oh I why should ho.be ao very unkind ? ; I don't care-. It is his loss a great deal more than mine, if he. is really in love with mo.'
Tbe evil spirit waa c6mlng back, and it whispered. " He wiU oertainly Snip I but you had better not say SnBfp 1 too' readily."
She walked oti thinking,'. imagining a tri¬ umph, when suddenly the thonght.came to her, that .she yrfxs confessing tg herself she wanted to say Snap !—and why.? ..It was not- possible that the tables of herpride were turn¬ ed upon her; that she was in Frank Handy's power, to refuse or. to take ; that ehe loved him! "I doh't'care forhim.at aU," waa the suggestion of'the bad rtrigi*! ''I only want to teach him for the future to behave. Ho ia a presuming, exacting, self-conceited fellow.'*
" Have you ever, in the course of your ex¬ perience,", eaid the good angel, " seen any other man like Frank? Has not the conversa¬ tion of this very day raised him to a height in your esteem .... which ia . . . . which muat be - . . . almost ....

"I don't believe fae   lovea   me," said her
as sW sat at the: ^es.table, priming hersei': with pride against the weakness before which ehe felt her courage giving way.
' Cynthy, I reckon you'd best go and dress \ plea that ahe must keep heraelf disengaged for ' you,* aaid her -mother, as she was ¦ clearing! her dutiea asa bridesmaid, and, indeed, her nway the table after tea; 'you leave the thiuga, | head ached ao ahe feared the riiotion Agonlz- arid III waah ;up' and put, away. ¦ It will take | ed by herself consciousness, and with too little you eome time to fil yourself, and yon ought! spirit left to make head against'the reports to be there early, if you are going (o stand np '. that were going about, ahe could not but per- .with Sue.' ¦ ' ceive that Frank aeemed not to remember her.

'Foolish fellows!' they were 'fooUsh fel¬ lows.' But Frank Handy was not one of them.. Frank had never followed in her train suffi¬ ciently to be accouriied one of her auitora. It was this very'foolish' flock, whose ranks ho scorned to enter. All that her father said, seemed to justify her nascent feeling. She kissed the old man's ruddy cheek, and felt aa if the callow love, that fluttered at her heart, had almost been made welcome by hia appro¬ bation.
*What time shall I come for you, Cynthia?' said he, ns &he.alighted at Susy's door.
• Oh! not till lale, father,' she said, hurried¬ ly. 'Stay—not at all. -Some of ihe young men wUl walk home with me ; or, if they don't, I'll come with Tommy Chase. He's only elev¬ en, but he's tall of his ago.'
And now Cynthia found herself in the bride's
the bridesmaid.
*Iknow. Let me sew it up foryou,' said Cynthia.
Her pride had left her. She felt bumbled to the dust. It would be a relief to do some¬ thing for this women—better than heraelf— whora Frank preferred to her.
• Lot me do it,' she said earnestly.
* Mr. Handy, I shall depend upon your es¬ cort.'
Frank Ilaniiy bowed, nnd thu girla went to¬ gether into a bedroom.
Escort?—was it hia escort to the city ? He had told her he should go there. Cynthia sew¬ ed up the hole in the bluo dresa, very sadly and quietly.
Tho animation faded from the young author¬ ess's face, as she looked down on Cynthia's quivering lip, and saw a big tear fall upon her

eases the mining ingreSienta wilt be found to be analogous to those e'ontained in the Nitrb-' genized Superphosphate of Lime.   The Lifting Sub-aoa Plow should-theu ba passed through Bttch fields.'at the distance of four feet apart ¦ between the outs.   This" plow, when properly used, will not turn overthe sod, but wiU Uft the aurfaco aoif from the faoe of the sub soU, permitting it to find its place again behind the plow, with all therootaloosened, nnd thewhole field raised ari inoh from  ita former position. Itwill also colilun cuts through to the surface, for the admission of atmosphere, moisture, eto. This freeing of the old and new roots without any material disturbarico, by the mole-like ao¬ tion o'' thia plow, wUI permit old and useless roots to decay, while those of a more vigorous kind will feed upon the pabulum given up by the deeayiug portions.   This process has now been fully tested, and in al! casea fonnd to be efficient.   We have many letters from those wbo have tried it, and invariably the increase in orop ia mnoh greater than the cost of tha phosphates and the expense attendant upon tUb running of the Ufting plow.    If the direotion of these cuts ba snch as would be seleoted'fur under-draina, they will act as sucb, for a por¬ tion of the season at least, and thus  free the land from excess of inactivo  moisture.   Ttiis, of courae, will only be the case in aoUs the sur¬ face of which is not level, and from tho lower portions of which tho delivery of wateris easy. . Clayey soils should not be plowed whUewet. Muoh harm has been dune by such practice.— Sandy soUs, partiot)larly those short of such a proportion of clay as render them  aufficiently tenacious, are improved and rendered more ad¬ hesive by beiug plowed when sUghtly damp j but with  those of a more  clayey character, each furcvw ia compressed, with a force equal to that required for propeUing the plow, leav¬ ing the turned portions brick-like, and disin¬ clined to yield to smaller, tools than the plow, auch 08 the cultivator, the harrow, the roller, etc.
In the selection of seeds great care should be used ; and those of a light kind, such as the ,oarrot, parsnip, etc., should be freah. In the early cultivation ot root crops, toola for the dis¬ turbance of the immediate surface should bs frequently nsed, so that weeds cannot become of such size os to require hand work. When thia ia thoroughly doae in the early part of their growth, much labor will bo saved, while the amouut of crop will be materially augmented. When guano or phosphates are used, they should be applied in small quantities at each disturbance of tho soil, rather than in large quantities before the sowing of the seed. Qras^ and grain crops requiring, top dressing, should have it appUed in early March, before the spring rains, so as to insure its division in the soil, and thus prevent loss by evaporation of.the.more volatile portions. In many cases we have known the application of one hundred pounds of Nitrogenized Super-phosphate per acre, to increase the hay crop one ton per acre; and grain so top-dressed in tho early spring, alwaya paya a large protit beyond the cost of tho fertilizer.
In selecting plants to be put out in early spring, give preference to those raiaed in the I fall and kept in cold frames during winter.— .They are far superior to hot-bed plants, ua they ^ are not checked by the tranaplanting; and un¬ usual frosts, such as sometimes occur after the commencement of spring, will not injure them. Thus cabbages, lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, etc., may be ready for miirket when rhiaed from cold frame plants, one month earlier than .from .hot-bed.plaQts,.J3JidJhe.high pilcea ob¬ tained for early vegetablea fully warranta the extra cost.

'Cynthia, you go and tell the gentlemen j tbey may come in." i
Cynthia shrank back.    But ns bridesmaid it was her office, and the others pushed her to | the door. "^
.'She didn't want to see Setb Taggart, I reckon,' said one of the girls in a half whi&per. 'Dou'tyou see how pale she has grown.*
Cynthia falsified this speech by looking scar- let before the girl addressed could turn her head; and she opened the door of the room, where tho bridegroom and his men were caged, with an air in which assumed indifference was strongly marked, and said, 'Gentlemen, we are ready,' with a toss that sent the hop-bells dancirtg in her head.
SetlS; long and lean, and shiny, in his wed¬ ding auit, as a snake in a new akin, took little Susie on bis awkward arm; Frank Handy, quite collected and self-possessed, offered his to the bridesmaid, and they followed the bride and bridegroom into the best parior. Cynthia and Frank were parted, when they took their plaoes for the ceremony. It was only a mo¬ ment that she leaned upon his arm; but that moment gave her a new sensation. It was a pride, such as no woman need be ashamed of, in resting upon manly strength. Iiis arm did not tremble, though aU her nerves seemed twittering like wires stretched, and suddenly let loose. He seemed so strong, so,calm, so self-collected, and so dignified, that she began to feel her own nnworthiness, and to mistrust her power.
She cast her eyea down during the service, tried to bring her rebel nerves under control— she heard nothing, and saw no one. The min¬ ister had blessed them both, and kissed tbe bride. Everybody came round the pair with ^lutatioua.    Thc   kissing was rather indis-

"Ah !'' said the good angel, ** what better lovo can a man give, than that which sees your faults and strengthous you against tham ? True, he faas set his ideal of womanhood so high, that you do not come up toit; but he sees in you oapabilitiea you have never at¬ tained."
'* Oh! I shaU ba a worse woman, and an unhappy woman, if I do not love Frank Handy, and if Frank Handy does not love me,'' aaid her heart, now turning to its better instincts,
as she threw herself ^hpon her little,  white
dimity-covered lied, in berown'chambsr, and,
shutting-out the light'from her'eyes, thought
what life would be if Frank never ftaid^ Snip !

gathering courage with her rising pride, coB- tinned:

•' Cynthy, you and Frank bring in the cake- You seem to forget all you have to do," said one ofthe young girls of tho -party. '
"Frank! Here'! Your bridesmaid's waiting, and I deolare, I don't believe you have taken the privilege of the kiss yon are entitled to." . Frank was called away from the^ aide of a lady in blue, a stranger, from the city, wbo had been brought by aome of. the gnests. She had no.otheraccLuaintaiicea, and Frank soemed to be attentive to her.
" I heg yaur pardon, Miss Cynthia," said he,- turning from the lady/and taking no notice of the latter part of" the a'peeoh that was ad¬ dressed to him, "let ns all do what is expected of u9." * '
They went together into the pantry, and were
And then, perhaps, some day, when they both grow old, Frank Jlandy might; perhaps, aee that ho had judged her hastily, and not be glad, aa he wafl now, that she had rejected him. At leastj every improvemeut in ber would be due to his influence, though unseen ; and so, even in her lonely Ufe, be would not be altogether dissociated from her. She tat in the dark, with her hands- clasped tightly over her burn¬ ing forehead.
She heard voices in the passages. The party was breaking up. People were beginning to go. Oh ! why had sbe staid alone so long! Perhaps dnring that hour Frank might have changed his mind. She had deprived herself of tho opportuuity.
She stnrted up and hurried out amongst the company. They were all getting their cloaks and sbawU on. Prank, in hia^groat coat, was standing impatiently at the bouse door.
' Please to tell her that my buggy has como up first,* he said to some one, as Cynthia pre¬ sented herself in the passage.
' I am ready,' said the lady in blue, present¬ ing herself
Frank raised his hat to the company took ber on bis arm.
'Shut up that door,'  said somebody; dou't let the night air into thc house.'
So the door closed with ajar that went to Cynthia's very heart. She tumed aside and tried to help aome of the girls to find their shawls nnd hoods. ' Every lassie had her lad¬ die,' Cynthia only had no one to take her home. Sbe asked Tommy Chase to walk home with her, and he said he would as soon as he bad hnd some more cake and some moro supper.
Cynthia went back into the empty'parlor, and sat down by an open window looking on the yard. She hid her face la her hands. AU Borts.'tif thonghts went singing through her braiu; bnt'the one that presented itself often- est was an h'umble resolution that she would try to be such a woman as Frank Handy wise¬ ly might have lojed.
There was a stir among the vines that draped the window-frame. She did not look up. It was the wind. She heard it sigh. She felt its warm breath near her cheek—warmer, surely, thau the night wind.' She lifted her head quickly. *
'Snip!' said Frank's voice at her side. It trembled; and he trembled'as he stood with a great hope and a great /ear contending in his breast.. His self-possession was all gone.— Tbe struggle had unnerved him

Sowing Clover hx Manure—Why and How-
We suppose a majority of farmers are by this time aware of the advantagea of turning under a good crop of clover, as a means of fer¬ tilizing the soil, and we nre sorry that thoseed is so scarce and high tho present season as to curtail the usual practice in any degree. Still, with the seed at 18 to 10 cents per pound, it will pay on the great mass of poorer soils, es¬ pecially thosc devoted to wheat or ryo culture. But tfaere are many who-contend that plowing in clover oannot improve the soil, because " it is simply putting back iuto the ground a crop grown from it;". while olhers, who nre convinc¬ ed by experience that tho practice is a good one, are atill at a loss to account for the results produced. Both of these classes may learn something from a-coiieidiimtiou of the method in which plants grow.
Ifwe take abox of earth eontaiuiug, say, 500 pounds, and weigh it carefully, und then sow an ounce of clover seed iu it, we can con¬ tinue to removo successive crops until we have taken ofi" more weight' of clover tban the en¬ tire weight of earth in the box at first; an^ this, too, witbout adding anything but the pur¬ est water. After we have removed this crop, we shall find the box of earth 'to weigh more than 500 pounds, (its original weight,) at least nearly as much more as the weightof the roota remaining ¦ in the contained soil. As we ex¬ plained in an article publisbed several montha since, tbe clover grown has beon derived from the air; and such is tbe caso with aU plants. Their principal good comes from tho atmosphere from whicb it has been extracted by tbe sur¬ face of tho leaves.
But experience teaches that tho growth of any plant is accelerated, especially in its early stages, by supplying the soil with a small per centage of organic manure—that is animal or vegetable matter. A single handful of animal excrements or decaying straw mingled with n square foot of ground, will often insure its fer¬ tility and oause it to produce a large hill of corn, for example, when without this addition not half of the yield would have been obtained. An application of these facts explains the benefit of plowing under clover. A soil may be so poor that clover itself wiU uot grow.— . When this ia tbe case, a amall amount of man¬ ure from the yard or a few hundred pounds per acre of gypsum (plaster of Paris) will gener¬ ally furnish the needed food or stimulus.— When wo can get the clover to grow, its great amonnt of leaf surface will rapidly abstraot the invisible elementa' fioating in or oombined with the air, and atore them in the stalks, leavea and roota. When theso are plowed under and mingled with the earth, it is directly equiva¬ lent to bringing, from a foreign source an amount of mauure equal to the clover orop il¬ self. We repeat,, the clover crop does not " oome from the soU," bnt is derived, from a foreign source, and is so mu^h added to the needed organic material.-required to produce wheat, rye, or others orofs moro diffioult to be growu tban clover. Wehave brought anum¬ ber of comparatively barren fields to a high atate of fertiUty, with no other applioation.j than a littlo plaster at first, and turning.under % few BUQcesaive oropa of clover when in their fullest growth—at Ihe timo of flowering.
We have in a few iuBtances been obliged to use yard manures, and,- In the absence of these,
A SHASaHAI FLTJQ-mrss.
Mr. Boyd is a very valuable citizen, but we regret to say, very easily irritated. This fact is known to a couple of butcher boya, by tho names of Donnelly and Smith, who reside in tbe immediate vicinity of Mr. Boyd. If there is any article in this world that Mr. B. is down on, it is a Shanghtii rooster. For tfais prejudicp, Mr. B. is indebted to a purchase which ho made during the 'hen fever.' Du¬ ring that excitemeut, Mr. B. bought a pair of 'imported chickens,' forwhicb he gave sixty- three dollars. He kept them a year, and^ suf¬ fered a loss of one hundred and twenty-five dollars—twenty five dollars in feed, and one hundred dollars for damages, paid to a Mr. Emery, becanse the • male bird' attacked his "little boy, Henry Sylvester, and tore his nose open. Since that day, Mr. B. has been down on Shanghais.'
This fact is well known to the butcher boys aforesaid. On Monday last, they felt like fon and oame to the conclnsion that tbey would turn Mr. Boyd's prejudices to account. They accordingly concocted the following advertise¬ ment, and inserted it in the Albany Knicker¬ bocker:
WANTED—A pair of .first quality Shanghai Roosters. -For fine blooded fowls $15 will be paid.. W, C. S. BOYD,.
Lidius Street, continued. An offer of this kind of course rather *took the crowd.* At such prloes, there waa not a 'bird fancier' io tho city who was not wiUing to supply Mr. Bojd with all the 'fine blood' he could possibly want. -The first operator that appeared was a dealer from the Bowery. 'Is Mr. Boyd in?'
* No, he's not; and if he was, what business is it to you?'
'I've brought them chickens.' 'What chickens?'
'Those he advertised for this morning. A pair of full blooded Shanghais.    Read that.'
Here the Bowery operator drew out the Knickerbocker, and requested the housemaid to run her eye over * that advertisement.' ' And Mr. Boyd is not in?* 'No, sir; and what's more, he won't be iu till evening. He's gone to Lanisburg, on a sleigh-ride.'
'But I cau leave the chickens, 1 suppute, provided I don't ask for tho money till ho re¬ turns ?'
* Of course. Place them in the cellar.' The Bowery dealer did as requested, and left the bouse, promising to call about tea- time. He had hardly got ftround the corner, before a young man wbo formerly tended shop for Joe Clark, made his appearance witb Mho killingest pair of chickens ever seen in Amer-
iky:-
, 'Is Mr. Boyd inr'
'No, he's not.' Weil,.here's tbem chiokens be advertised for.    Where aball I pot tbem  till  he comes baok V
Throw them into the cellar, bad luck to them.' -       I
Mr. Clark's 'young man' obeyed orders, and then followed tho Bowery boy around the cor¬ ner. Mr. Clark's 'young man' was followed by nineteen otber dealers, each with a pair of Shanghai roosters in his hand. They were aU placed in the cellnr. Mr. Boyd arrived home abont 5 o*clook, P. M. He went up sluirs, pnlled ofl" his coat, and theu repaired to ihe front basement.
«What's aU that row, Margery?'
*Tho blnck cock has kUt the yaller one, and is now crowing over it.'
•Crowing over it! what do you mean"''
.'Why, that we've had the devil's own time since you've been gone.' .'With what?*
'With them Shanghais.'
'What Shanghais?'
'Theni  you put up iu the Knickerbocker.'
'Ill Ihe KoickcrbnckerV What are you talking about*'
'The Shaugbni.4, sir. Nineteen pa'r. and some of 'em big enough to trot a coach."
'And who brougbt nineteen pair nf Sbang- hai.i here?'
'The men who owued them.'
' And for what purpose V
' Because you put tbem in the Knicker¬ bocker.'
'Nonsense—I've put no Shanghais in lhe Knickerbocker, and want none—throw them iuto the Street.'
'Not I. By ray troth, I'd ns soon take a grip of a kitchen donkey.'
Hero the twenty seveu full blooded roosters started a crow that inight have been hoard os far as Troy ahd back ogain.
'Will you throw those chicken.s iuto the street ?'
