BY llELES FOREST 0BAVB9. It was a gloomy room, in a crowded ten ement houae, low, narrow and unwholesome; anda pale facei child was its only inmate. She w.a.s a confirmed invalid—you might trace that, in her hollow cheeks and the strange unnatural luster of hyr large blue eyes—the flame of life w.is burning low ou the altar of her childish being ; yet here ?he was alone The old-arm chair in which she reclined, with one or two pillows, and a rude pine bos, was the only support of hertinybltte-veinedfeet^ There was ho carpet on the moldering floor, and in more than one place door and window had yielded to ihe remorseless hand of decay, and presented a most dilapidated aspect.— Yet all the scanty furniture was arranged as neatly as possible, aud there was even some faint attempts at taste, as, in a bit of gaily- colored chintz spread over the child's foot¬ stool, aud a solitary flower placed in the window seat, where the.'?unl>eams coald touch its emerald leaves. That ilower; it had been poor Katy's com¬ panion long. Its royal beauty and luxuri¬ ance seemed strangely out of place in the sqwalid, low-ceiled room; yet it grew and flourished as if in the velvet sod of Bende- meer's stream. And little Katy lay back in her comfortless chair, and looked at tbe splendid rose which quivered like a ruby drop among the leaves, and watched the sun¬ light writing its go den message on the crim¬ son folds of the blossom with a vague feeling of wonder. It was so strange that the radiant sun^ whose glory lay on marble pillars and stately dwellings far away, shoald come to peep into her lonely, lonely room- "Is that yon, Jamie ?" said she softly, as tbe door opened, and a boy of twelve came in. " Yes. Do you feel any better, Katy ? Ara you tired of being left alone ?" And the boy looked tenderly into her blue eyes aud parted the auburn hair from her forehead, with a loving touch. *'Not veiy, bnt there is such a weary ach¬ ing around my heart, and sometimes it seems all on fire. Howcoolyourhand feel¦;, Jamie?" "Never mind, Katy, I've been sawing wood, and earned a whole quarter, and am going to lay Jt out in apples and oranges, to sell down town. I'll make a mint of money, and then won't we have a good supper when . mother comes home from work? I should'nt wonder if we had a bit of cake and a bunch of grapes over aud above the medicine the dispensary doctor ordered for you." Katy smiled aud shook her head, as if de¬ precating this piece of extravagance. "Yes, we will, Katy," resumed ber brother; "tain't often we taste anything bnt dry bread and cheese, and I haven't forgotten that it's your birthday, sis—your ten years old to¬ day. Besides you need something to. put a shade of color into these cheeks; the doctor said you mnst bave something to tempt your appetite." He bent down to kiss tbe marble forehead as he spoke. "How lovely that rose is, to he sure ? It's almost as good as company to yon, Katy, isn't it ? Are you willing I sbould leave yon alone for a little while, dear?" " Yes, Jamie, I don't mind it mnch," she answered, with a deep, weary sigh, "bnt be back .IS soon as possible, please." And her wistful, hollow eyes watched him from tbe room with that earnest, startling look that we only fmd beneath the very sha(iow of Deatti. Down at the piers all was confusion and uproar—busy passeugers hurrying from new¬ ly-arrived boats—turbid waters dashing and rolling against mossy posts—swaying crowds, and loud, dissonant voices, created a small bedlam around the docks, aud little Jamie wandered around with his board of fruit feeling very lonely and bewildered. He had piled up the golden oranges with their sun- Biest side upward ; behad polished the red cheeked apples until they shone like mirrors, yet nobody stopped to buy. " Carriage, sir ?" " Take you to tbe Astor House ?" " Up Broadway in a twinkling ma'am !" " 'Ere's your 'Erald, Tribune and Times. Latest steamer from Europe! Have a paper, sir ?" Poor Jamie! amid all this tumult, what' chance has ba of being notit-ed ? He had picked ont the very aame bunch of grapes that he intended for Katy, in Taylor's window, as he came by—a plump, apoplectic bunch dangling from a crimson thread, where the sunshine lay full ou the purple bloom, and ametbystic shadows lurked among ita faU- ness of fruitage. Just at present tbe tempt¬ ing morsel seemed very far off to Jamie's imaginations. Determined not to gire way witbout a vigorous effort, however, Jamie stepped bold¬ ly forward to the first person he saw and held up his wares with a modest "Buy an orange, air ?" Now, as ill-fortune would have it, this possible customer was a fat, ill-tempered pursy old man, whose color had juat been inflamed to fever heat by the inadvert«nt de¬ scent of a heary nailed boot heel on hli favorite com. At all times he considered orange boys a nuisance, but jost now Iub afford it; one luxury iu a day ought to be enough !'* There was a vast difference be¬ tween tbe man and child in their capacities for enjoyment, but both were happy that night. tbe back door of the office, (I lived next door,) and also heard voices at the frout door.

He asked what charge they pleased Kate's delicate appetite to a charm, aud the story of the dollar was listened to with interest. " I wish I could see the kind gentleman," said the child, earnestly; "I would give bim my beautiful rose, if he liked flowers." She looked strangely beautiful that night, her head renting on her brother's shoulder, while Jamie fed her with the juicy berries, one by one, as a bird might feed its young. " Why, bow bright tbe color in your cheek is," cried Jamie ; " I believe you have been stealing the red shadows from your favorite rose. Mother, I am sure Katy will get well." The next morning, while yet tbe golden spear of sunrise was in rest among the purple hills, Katy died. • " * • ' The moss of twenty years had gathered upon Katy's head'Stone-the violets of twenty years had blossomed over her grave, and it was a glorious autumn day, whose light streamed along the busy thoroughfare, and shone ou the magnificent marble erection de¬ voted to the extensive operations of tbe cele¬ brated Bank of K— ^ A splendid carriage, cushioned with velvet, and glittering brightly in the sunshine, was drawn up opposite the d(}or, waiting to take the great banker to his palatial home. Tbe spirited horse, foaming and prancing, could hardly be curbed, and the driver looked wonderingly towards thff door, and marveled why his usually punctual master did not come. Mr. Arnet stood in a little office opening from the main bank, where the long rows of clerks were banding over their desks. He had been looking over a little pocket-book, which he alwaya carried about hira, for some note or bill; and, as he turned its pages, a bit of folded paper dropped out. The banker opened it, and although twenty years had deadened the firat edge ofhis sor¬ row, the tears rushed to his eyes as they fell ou the contents. A pencilsketch, mde and unfinished, of a meekbrowned child—a lock of soft brown hair, aud that perfumed dust of crimson rose—these weredearer to the banker than his vaults of yellow gold. As he looked .it them, a tremulons voice witbout arrested his ear. " I would 1 'e glad if you would buy, gentle¬ men, for my need is very great. I have a sickly daughter at home, who roust be fed." "Be off about your business," was the sharp rejoinder. " I won't let you in. Don't you see you are not wanted here?" The voice aeemed to strike a responsive chord in the rich mau's heart; surely he had heard its mild tones before. He partially opened the door, and called out sternly: " Mr. Waters, show the gentleman in, if you please." The abashed clerk obeyed not without surprise, and tbe bowed old man, with his heavy basket of strawberries, came humbly into the private room of the great banker. " Will you take a chair ?" politely inquired Mr. Araet, moving forward a luxurious fauteuil. The old man took off his hat apologetically. " Sir, I fear that I intrude on your valu¬ able time. If you would buy some of my frnit—necessity, you know, is strong, and my poverty is extreme. I was not always in such a position." Mr. Arnet watchfid the proud turn of that gray head with a singular smile ; then sitting down to bia desk he wrote off a check and handed it across the table. " One tbonsand dollars !" faltered the old man, as he read, turning read and white in a breath. He held it toward the banker. "Sir, I hoped you were too much of a gen¬ tleman to make sport of age and distress Is there anything to jest about iu my want ?" "Not at all, air. You spoke of a aio'kly daughter, I havo a cottage vacant, just out¬ side the city, with a foantain, gronuJa and observatory. If you aud your daughter will occupy it, rent free, I shall be very glad to bave you take care of it for me." The old mau stood white aud breathless as if in a dream. In an instant his hand was taken in the clasp of the great banker. " My friend, my benefactor, you have for¬ gotten me, but my youthfulmemory isstrong. er than yours. Is it possible that yon have no remembrance of me ?" Tbe old man shook his head. " Yet it is folly to expect it when I am 30 changed. Listen, sir," he resumed with a bright, earnest smile; " have yoa any recol¬ lection of a forlorn boy, on a crowded pier, whose little all was scattered by a mde blow? Have you forgotten his distress ? Have you forgotten that a kind stranger stopped to comfort him, not only by money, bat by cheering words ?" " Is it possible ?" stammered the old mau. " Yes, it is possible; lam that forlorn boy. Your money, which that night supplied my dying sister with luxaries and pleasures, pro¬ ved the stepping stone to my princely wealth. Sir, I was a ragged, friendless boy, but my heart treasured np yonr kind words aa price- leas jewels; and now the time haa oome when I may, in eome measure, repay them with interest." The old man moved hia pale lipa as though he would speak; the banker resumed in- stantly : had against him, 'Come down, and we'll d—n soon show you,' waa the reply. "The next heard was the door being bro_ ken open, and tbe voice of Mr. W. in expos¬ tulation with them. The entreaties of his wife, begging for them to spare her husband, mingled with their oaths and obscene expres¬ sions, rendered the scene perfectly heart-sick¬ ening. I lay almost powerless with the pain of my wounds and conflicting emotions, un¬ til suddenly I was tbori'Ughly aroused by bearing them beneath my window, and at the back door. I told my wife not to make a noise, or even cry ; she did not cry, but ber last words were, ' For God's sake, George, fly! Go, go, if you can ;I—I—cannot see you mur¬ dered ! Oh, go! and I will do the best lean to detain them.' " I had time to put on a pair of pantaloons and one stocking, wheu without any cere¬ mony the door was burst open, and a posse of midnight assassins entered below. I mo¬ tioned to my wife to extinguish the light, which she did. They immediately made a rush for the stairs, expecting no doubt that I was preparing for a fight, bnt I could net have killed a mouse then. I stopped and kissed my infant boy, (perhaps for the last time on earth,) then barely had time to leap from the window, and in doing so I cat ray foot very badly. It seemed the Fates wero against me. But suddenly the thought struck my miud, that if I could possibly make my escape, I might probably bo the means of sa¬ ving Wilson—thinking they dare not execute their bloody purpose on one alone, as the other would be too formidable a witness against them. For I thought of my wife and child—yes, I might yet live to rescue tbem from the blighting influence of their teach¬ ings—from a life of poverty, ignorance, and wretchedness. Thus, with renewed energy, I pursued my way through the corn fields and thickets, barefooted aud bareheaded, and nearly nude; bat at last I found a friend who relieved me, all that lay in bis power, by giving me a pair of moccasins aud an old hat. Thanks, my friend; may yoa never want relief. "I was hotly pursued several days, The next morning after I started for California, I had the satisfaction of seeing seven of my pursuers mounted and armed to tbe teeth, pass me within twenty yards, while I was se¬ creted behind a sage-bush, I could not refrain from a smile, even then, in my critical posi¬ tion, to see their knives and pistols hung to their belts, while I had not even a pen-buife. " I have not yet heard from Salt Lake, and do not kuow the fate of Wilson. I entertain but little fears for the safety ot my wife and child. Tbe Mormons seldom molester harm a womau, except to coerce her into measures that are sometimes very disagreeable. I re¬ ly entirely on the well-known fortitude and •firmness of my wife, and do not think I shall be disappointed." Potato Rot—Its Remept.—It ia not so muoh my object in this oommunication to pretend to give a,remedy for the potato rot as to offer some observations upon its probable oausea and aome suggeationa for the manage¬ ment and cultivation of that invaluable plant, by acting upon which I have uniformly sno- oeeded in raising good crops. Now, whatever may be the exciting or im¬ mediate oanae of tbis disease, I think that tbe remote cauae is to bo found in tbe abuse to wbich the potato baa, for a long serious of years, beeu subjected. I meanby this that, in mauy iustances, the plant has been culti vated iu a manner contrary to ita original nature; and that, in conaequenoe, it haa be¬ come partially, if not permanently, diseased. Planting in a soil in every respect uuanita- ble; planting aeed diseased or imperfectly selected; negligent, or, what is worse, a wrong mode of cultivation; expoaing the po- tatoea after being dug to early froats, chilling rains or the hot raya of the sun; putting tbem away in bad condition in damp cellars or iu improperly constructed receptacles in tbe ground—are some of the abuses to which the potato has been subjected, and aome of the caused of its present deterioration. If these conclusions are correct, instead of seeking a specific for the rot, it would be a wiser and more practical course to endeavor, by proper care and cultivation, to restore th'a plant to its original soundness. And that the anggostions wbich follow, if faithfully practiced, will contribute to this result, if not entirelyaccomplish.it, my own experience demonstrates. During the past season one- eighth, at least, of the potatoes raised in this neighborhood were so much affected with the rot as to be unfit for use, while mine were almost perfectly sound. Of a crop of over a hundred bushels I had not, perhaps, more than a bushel of unsound potatoes,— As tho result of my experience in raising this crop during several years, in which I have be^ almost invariably successful in securing sound potatoes and obtaining a fair yield, I make the foUowing suggestions : 1st. Select if possible a new dry and sandy soil. If it is necessary to use a fertilizer, a compost made of ashes or lime and stable manure, in which the ashes or lime prepon¬ derates, is preferable to any other. 3. Having secured a proper soil, the ground shonld be deeply and thoroughly plowed in tbe fall, or early in the spring, and again im¬ mediately before planting. Whatever other precautions are overlooked in preparing the ground, that of deep plowing shonld uot be neglected. 3. Iu selecting the seed, the greateat care should be observed to exclude all that is in the least diseased. Care should also he taken to procure thoae varieties which experience has proven to be least liable to rot. In this section of country the kinds most in favor are the pink eyes, Irish grays aud a species of long red potato, for which I know no par¬ ticular name—the latter being less esteemed for table use, but less liable to rot tban either of the former. 4. In cultivating potatoes they sboald be kept free from weeds and plowed twice a least; the firat time when the vines are from three to six inches high, and the last about the time the first blossoms appear. 5. Potatoes shonld be dag as soon as they are fully matured. The practice of suffering them to remain in the gronnd a mouth or two after they are ripe, is, I am convinced, avery bad one. If uo suitable place has already been prepared for them, they may be placed in heaps and covered with straw or hay, suf¬ ficient to keepthemdryandprotectthemfrom the light and heat of tbe sun, as both are in¬ jurious aud should be carefully excluded. (J. The best place to keep potatoes through the winter is a dry, dark cellar, having a wooden floor. If tbe cellar is damp, a layer pfchaff (that of wheat beiug tlie best) shdnld be placed under them and around tbe walls. They should be frequently examined, if pos¬ sible, through the winter aud the decayed ones should be carefully removed. Potatoes may be kept perfectly sound until harvest by keeping tbem iu a dark and tolerable dry place and by keepiug the sprouts broken off. If the foregoing suggestions are faithfully observed I bave uo donbt that the ravages of the rot will be greatly retarded. Unfortu¬ nately for the potato, it has received less at¬ tention, with a view to its improvement, than almost any other kind of agricaltaral pro¬ duct. Let the same plans be taken with the potato as are bestowed upon some other kiuds of farming produce and the result will Jbe that this almost indispensable article of food will uot only become more abuudaut, bat greatly improved in quality. Dead Animals.—If it should be your mis¬ fortune to have a horse, a oow, an ox or other animal to die on your haoda, after skinning them, haul tbem into your barnyard, cut up tbo carcaa."* into aa small pieces as you can conveniently, and form it into compoat, thua: apread a thick covering of plaster, or charcoal, over the body, plaoe four inches in depth nnder tbe parUt of the animal, then cover thom over with six timea tbe weight of the animal, with peat, marsh mud, river mud or muck, mould from the woods, or auy other earthly VHgetable matter. Let thia remain six monlhs when the flesh will have been separated from the bnues, and the earth¬ ly compoat will be fit for use, then mix with it ten bushels of ashes, and yoa will have manure enongh to fully fertilise an acre of land to go through a rotation of crops. All auch composts when being made, sboald, as each layer of earth is put on to the depth of six inches, have fine charcoal, or fine plaster strewn over it. The bonea should be dissolved with dilute Bulphnrio acid, and mixed with ten bushels of ashes, which will be found equal to the manuring of another bctq of land. And now let ns ask if thia dispoaition of a dead horse, cow or oxen, into twenty bushels of wheat, thirty buahela of barley, twenty bushels of rye, or forty bushels of oata, ia not better than to fill tbe air with the intolerablo stench of the animal while undergoing decom¬ position iu the ordinary way in which dead animals are disposed of.

How To Impkove Americak HosBAsns:—¦ " The American husband cultivates too little those ornamental .qualities which are dearer to women thau house, dresa, furniture, or costly apparel. He .is deficient in imagina¬ tion, and therefor" lacks that element of romance, without which it ia difficult to re¬ tain, however it may have been acquired, a lasting hold upou the affections of woman. " Every woman would like to regard her husband as a hero; and when, after several years, intimate association, she wakes np to the fact that her male companion ia merely a common-place ready.-reckoner, utterly defi¬ cient in aympatby with all her finer feelings and her .noblest hopes and aspirations, she feels as one suddenly wakened from a dream; aud she must thenceforth sink down into a hopeless houseliold drudge, or open other sources of sympathy. She has been imposed ou—she fesls it; aud if, meanwhile, the gros¬ ser nature of the husband haa driven him to look for otber channels of enjoyment, yoa can readily see that un^ss the wife is for¬ tunate in providing for herself and for her more aspiring aud hopeful nature the meana of recovering her disappointed affections, there must be a new recruit added^to the army who take rank as sharers in the unex¬ plained mystery of unhappy marriages. A thorough yearly or monthly reading of ' The Arabian Nights' would restore many a hus¬ band to tbe heart of his despairing 'wife— provided that he bad the iieart aud tbe ima- \ giuation to enjoy them." j How TO KEEP PbUIT AND PLOWEBS FRESH.— Fruit and flowers may be preserved from de¬ cay and fa >ing by immersing them in a so¬ lution of gum-arabic in water two or three times, waiting a sufficient time between eacb immersion to allow the gum to dry. This process covers the surface of tbe fruit or flowers with a thin coating of gum, wbich ta entirely impervious to the air, and thus pre- venta the decay of the fruit, or the withering of the flower. A friend has roses thus pre¬ served which have all the fragrance of fresh- ly-plackedones, though they have been sep¬ arated from the parent stem since last year. To insure success in experiments of this kind it ahould be borne in mind that tbo whole surface must be completely covered ; for if the air only gains entranco at a pin-hole, the labor will all be lost. In preserving speci¬ mens of fruit, particular care should he taken to cover the stem, end and all, with the gum. A good way is to wind a thread of silk about the atom, and then sink it slowly in the solution, which shoald not be so strong as to leave a particle of the gum undissolved. The gum is so perfectnly transparent, that yoa can with difficulty detect its presence, except by tbe touch. Hare wo have another simple method of fixing the fleeting beauty of nature, and surrounding our- elves ever with those objects which most elevate tbe mind, refine tho taste, and purify the heart, WiiAT IS IT?—A westeru pettifogger once broke forth in the following indiguantstraiu: *' Sir, we're enough for ye, the hull of ye.— Me and my client can't never be intimidated .no^tyxanizedover, markthat?

At length a loop gave way, the lady turned a aumeraet, while his pigship made rapid tracks in -jearch of the hole through which he had entered the forbidden enclosure." Electricity.—A lady riding in the cara found herself seatpd by tbe side of a matron who waa exceedP^ly deaf. "Ma'am," said she, in a high tone, "did you ever try elictricity ?" " What did y ou say, Miaa ?" " I asked if you ever tried electricity for your deafness ?" '• 0, yes. indeed I did.

Maiinfactunr.. april 15 ly-'JO FEBLl^-GS, WuES A Ladv FiuEsp Gets Mar- niED.—We never have been seen expressed the sensation of left-behind-ativeness, whieh is experienced by bachelors at belles' being carried off by othera, till the publication, the other day, ofaletterof the celebrated Thomas Paine. In writing to ona of his fair acquain¬ tances who had become a bride, he aays:— " When I see my female friends drop off by matrimony, I am aenaible of somethiug that affects me like a loss. In spite of all the ap¬ pearances of joy; I cannot help mixiug the compliment of regret with that of congratula¬ tion. It appears as if I had outlived or lost a friend. It seems to me as if the original waa no more, and that which she is changed to forsakes the circle aud forgets the scene of former society. Felicities and cares superior to those she formerly cared for present lo her a neur landscape oflife, that excludes the little friendships ofthe past. It is not every lady's miud that is sufficiently capacious to prevent those greater objects from crowding out the leas, or that can spare a thought to former friendship, after she has given her hand and heart to the man tbat loves her." And the same pithy letter concludes with the following exquisitely wise and truthful, though more serious, reflections :— "That no condition we cau enjoy is an ex¬ emption from care—that some shade will mingle itself with the bright st sunshine of life—that even our affections may become the instruments of our sorrow—that the sweet felicities of Home depend on good tem¬ per as well as on good sense—and that there i3 always something to forgive even in the nearest and dearest of onr friends—are truths^ which, though too obvious to be told, ought never to be forgotton; and I know yon will not esteem my friendship the less for im¬ pressing them npon you. Though I appear a sort of wanderer, the married state has not a aincerer friend than I am. It is the harbor of human life, aud it is, with respect to the things of this world, what the next worid is to this. It is a Aome.—and that one word con¬ veys more than any other word cau expresa For a few years, one may glide along the tide of youthful, single Hfe, and be wonderfully delighted; bat it is a tide that flows but once, and, what is worse, it ebbs faster than it flows, and leaves many a hapless voyager aground. I am one that has experiened the fete I am desoribing. • • • • ! " Tours, TaoJtAs Pajne. Potatoes.—Mr. Editor,—I notice in the last Telegraph, a request that some of your correspondents would give their experience in raising potatoes. If mine can be of any use, here it ia. I usually put in about two, acrea. Seed. I use about ten bushels of seed to the acre; I think it best to change aeed every three years; iu selecting seed I take them as they grew, large and small, the large ones I cut in ten or a dozen pieces, being careful to have oue or two eyes ou each piece; the small ones I cut iu half. The Ground. I commonly put potatoes where corn grew the season hefore; I cut the cudgels off iu the winter close to the ground. The Manure. If I take out of the barn¬ yard, I have thrown in a heap as it comes from the stables, in order to let it heat before hauling out, which I do early, and have it spread evenly over the ground. I put on a good coat of manure for potatoes. The Signs. I am aware there is a nnmber of farmers ruled by the " signs," for plant¬ ing this crop. My sign ia, when I ara ready, and the ground is iu good order. Planting. When Icommence, Iplow round the outside, dropping the seed in every other furrow, about a foot apart,until I have it wide euoogh for the headlands. I then start a couple of lands, having four rows going on at the same time ; by this way I economise time, as the droppers need never wait. The same way in g itheriut; the crop. Cultivating. After planting, I harrow the ground well; when they are np an inch or two, I give them another good harrowing ; and as soon as they are large enough to go ters. Itis much better to'wait one or two years, when the article, if proved to be as represented, can be obtained at oue-half or one-fourth the price originally demanded, than at ouce to rusli into a purchase and get bit. We shall, fnr our part, take all care that the readers of the Telegraph shall be kept duly posted-up in matters of this kind ; iiud then if they choose to become a prey, to theae vampires, they will do so with their eyes opeu.—Germantoum Telegratph, — 4>«»t ." TuE Medicixe ok Lauouteu :—" It is record¬ ed of Dr. '.iriflin, (says a writer inthe 'Atlan¬ tic,*) that, when President of the Andover Theological Seminary, he convened the stu¬ dents at his roum one evening, and told them he had observed that they were all growing thin and dyspeptical from a neglect of the exercise of Christian laughter, and he insist¬ ed upon it that they should go" through a company-drill in it then and there. The doc¬ tor was an immense man—over six feet in height, with great amplitude of chest, and most piagisterial manners. ' Here,' said he to the first, * you must practice; now hoar me !' and bursting out into a sonorous laugh, he fairly oblig'ed his pupils, oue by one, to join, till the whole were almost convulsed.— *That will do for once,' aaid the doctor, ' and now mind you keep in practice!'" We lately heard a vulgar politician boast upon the stump that he and Daniel Webster once staid over night at the same public house. It must have beeu a house of "entertainment for man and beast.'' Why can a person uook eggs sooner in Eng¬ land than in America ? Because in England all that he has to do is to steal them, and they immediately become poached. Teacher—"William, can you tell me why the sun rises iu the east ?" Pupil, (looking demure)---" Don't know, sir, 'cept it be that east makes everything rise." Ab old Scotch preacher said of a young opponent that he had a great deal of the youug man, not a little of the old mau, veiy little of the new man. Why does a lady with immensely wealthy lovers around her hear more music than any body else? Because she hear.^ several luil- lion-atres at once.

Having ascertained^the weight | ^^S^^ ^^ ^^^^8 opposed to every body el.«e. of what I did live upon, I found that be¬ tweeu ten and seventy years of age I had eaten aud drunk 44 one-horse wagon-loads of meat and drink more thau would have preserved me in life and health. The value of this mass of nourishment is considered to be worth £7,000 sterling. It occurred to me that I must, ly voracity, have starved to death more than one hundred. This is a frightful calculation, but irresistibly trne— and I think, dear Murray, your wagons would need additional .horses." Be Gestlk.—Be ever gentle to the children Godhas given yon ; watch overthemconstant- ly ; reprove them earnestly, but not in anger- In the forcible language of the Scripture " be not bitter against them."

Aud labor will be the medicine for more than,half the minor ills of life. A man without any proper aim in life, without moral ini;piration, too rich to be industrious, and a prey to the thousand frets of unoccu¬ pied leisure, sometimes sets himself to pray against his troubles. Now a man might as well pray to he protected against the sands of Sahara, as a lazy man to pray against petty troubles. Therefore it happens, sometimes, that bankruptcy brings a roan what hia wealth failed to give—happiness; for he has real trouble, and trouble ia a medicine for troable.

BREAB TTPON~THE WATERS.
BY llELES FOREST 0BAVB9.
It was a gloomy room, in a crowded ten ement houae, low, narrow and unwholesome; anda pale facei child was its only inmate. She w.a.s a confirmed invalid—you might trace that, in her hollow cheeks and the strange unnatural luster of hyr large blue eyes—the flame of life w.is burning low ou the altar of her childish being ; yet here ?he was alone The old-arm chair in which she reclined, with one or two pillows, and a rude pine bos, was the only support of hertinybltte-veinedfeet^ There was ho carpet on the moldering floor, and in more than one place door and window had yielded to ihe remorseless hand of decay, and presented a most dilapidated aspect.— Yet all the scanty furniture was arranged as neatly as possible, aud there was even some faint attempts at taste, as, in a bit of gaily- colored chintz spread over the child's foot¬ stool, aud a solitary flower placed in the window seat, where the.'?unl>eams coald touch its emerald leaves.
That ilower; it had been poor Katy's com¬ panion long. Its royal beauty and luxuri¬ ance seemed strangely out of place in the sqwalid, low-ceiled room; yet it grew and flourished as if in the velvet sod of Bende- meer's stream. And little Katy lay back in her comfortless chair, and looked at tbe splendid rose which quivered like a ruby drop among the leaves, and watched the sun¬ light writing its go den message on the crim¬ son folds of the blossom with a vague feeling of wonder.
It was so strange that the radiant sun^ whose glory lay on marble pillars and stately dwellings far away, shoald come to peep into her lonely, lonely room-
"Is that yon, Jamie ?" said she softly, as tbe door opened, and a boy of twelve came in. " Yes. Do you feel any better, Katy ? Ara you tired of being left alone ?" And the boy looked tenderly into her blue eyes aud parted the auburn hair from her forehead, with a loving touch.
*'Not veiy, bnt there is such a weary ach¬ ing around my heart, and sometimes it seems all on fire. Howcoolyourhand feel¦;, Jamie?" "Never mind, Katy, I've been sawing wood, and earned a whole quarter, and am going to lay Jt out in apples and oranges, to sell down town. I'll make a mint of money, and then won't we have a good supper when . mother comes home from work? I should'nt wonder if we had a bit of cake and a bunch of grapes over aud above the medicine the dispensary doctor ordered for you."
Katy smiled aud shook her head, as if de¬ precating this piece of extravagance.
"Yes, we will, Katy," resumed ber brother; "tain't often we taste anything bnt dry bread and cheese, and I haven't forgotten that it's your birthday, sis—your ten years old to¬ day. Besides you need something to. put a shade of color into these cheeks; the doctor said you mnst bave something to tempt your appetite."
He bent down to kiss tbe marble forehead as he spoke.
"How lovely that rose is, to he sure ? It's almost as good as company to yon, Katy, isn't it ? Are you willing I sbould leave yon alone for a little while, dear?"
" Yes, Jamie, I don't mind it mnch," she answered, with a deep, weary sigh, "bnt be back .IS soon as possible, please."
And her wistful, hollow eyes watched him from tbe room with that earnest, startling look that we only fmd beneath the very sha(iow of Deatti.
Down at the piers all was confusion and uproar—busy passeugers hurrying from new¬ ly-arrived boats—turbid waters dashing and rolling against mossy posts—swaying crowds, and loud, dissonant voices, created a small bedlam around the docks, aud little Jamie wandered around with his board of fruit feeling very lonely and bewildered. He had piled up the golden oranges with their sun- Biest side upward ; behad polished the red cheeked apples until they shone like mirrors, yet nobody stopped to buy.
" Carriage, sir ?" " Take you to tbe Astor House ?" " Up Broadway in a twinkling ma'am !" " 'Ere's your 'Erald, Tribune and Times. Latest steamer from Europe! Have a paper, sir ?"
Poor Jamie! amid all this tumult, what' chance has ba of being notit-ed ? He had picked ont the very aame bunch of grapes that he intended for Katy, in Taylor's window, as he came by—a plump, apoplectic bunch dangling from a crimson thread, where the sunshine lay full ou the purple bloom, and ametbystic shadows lurked among ita faU- ness of fruitage. Just at present tbe tempt¬ ing morsel seemed very far off to Jamie's imaginations.
Determined not to gire way witbout a vigorous effort, however, Jamie stepped bold¬ ly forward to the first person he saw and held up his wares with a modest "Buy an orange, air ?"
Now, as ill-fortune would have it, this possible customer was a fat, ill-tempered pursy old man, whose color had juat been inflamed to fever heat by the inadvert«nt de¬ scent of a heary nailed boot heel on hli favorite com. At all times he considered orange boys a nuisance, but jost now Iub

pleased Kate's delicate appetite to a charm, aud the story of the dollar was listened to with interest.
" I wish I could see the kind gentleman," said the child, earnestly; "I would give bim my beautiful rose, if he liked flowers." She looked strangely beautiful that night, her head renting on her brother's shoulder, while Jamie fed her with the juicy berries, one by one, as a bird might feed its young.
" Why, bow bright tbe color in your cheek is," cried Jamie ; " I believe you have been stealing the red shadows from your favorite rose. Mother, I am sure Katy will get well." The next morning, while yet tbe golden spear of sunrise was in rest among the purple hills, Katy died. • " * • ' The moss of twenty years had gathered upon Katy's head'Stone-the violets of twenty years had blossomed over her grave, and it was a glorious autumn day, whose light streamed along the busy thoroughfare, and shone ou the magnificent marble erection de¬ voted to the extensive operations of tbe cele¬ brated Bank of K— ^
A splendid carriage, cushioned with velvet, and glittering brightly in the sunshine, was drawn up opposite the d(}or, waiting to take the great banker to his palatial home.
Tbe spirited horse, foaming and prancing, could hardly be curbed, and the driver looked wonderingly towards thff door, and marveled why his usually punctual master did not come.
Mr. Arnet stood in a little office opening from the main bank, where the long rows of clerks were banding over their desks. He had been looking over a little pocket-book, which he alwaya carried about hira, for some note or bill; and, as he turned its pages, a bit of folded paper dropped out.
The banker opened it, and although twenty years had deadened the firat edge ofhis sor¬ row, the tears rushed to his eyes as they fell ou the contents. A pencilsketch, mde and unfinished, of a meekbrowned child—a lock of soft brown hair, aud that perfumed dust of crimson rose—these weredearer to the banker than his vaults of yellow gold.
As he looked .it them, a tremulons voice witbout arrested his ear.
" I would 1 'e glad if you would buy, gentle¬ men, for my need is very great. I have a sickly daughter at home, who roust be fed." "Be off about your business," was the sharp rejoinder. " I won't let you in. Don't you see you are not wanted here?"
The voice aeemed to strike a responsive chord in the rich mau's heart; surely he had heard its mild tones before. He partially opened the door, and called out sternly:
" Mr. Waters, show the gentleman in, if you please."
The abashed clerk obeyed not without surprise, and tbe bowed old man, with his heavy basket of strawberries, came humbly into the private room of the great banker.
" Will you take a chair ?" politely inquired Mr. Araet, moving forward a luxurious fauteuil.
The old man took off his hat apologetically. " Sir, I fear that I intrude on your valu¬ able time. If you would buy some of my frnit—necessity, you know, is strong, and my poverty is extreme. I was not always in such a position."
Mr. Arnet watchfid the proud turn of that gray head with a singular smile ; then sitting down to bia desk he wrote off a check and handed it across the table.
" One tbonsand dollars !" faltered the old man, as he read, turning read and white in a breath. He held it toward the banker.
"Sir, I hoped you were too much of a gen¬ tleman to make sport of age and distress Is there anything to jest about iu my want ?"
"Not at all, air. You spoke of a aio'kly daughter, I havo a cottage vacant, just out¬ side the city, with a foantain, gronuJa and observatory. If you aud your daughter will occupy it, rent free, I shall be very glad to bave you take care of it for me."
The old mau stood white aud breathless as if in a dream. In an instant his hand was taken in the clasp of the great banker.
" My friend, my benefactor, you have for¬ gotten me, but my youthfulmemory isstrong. er than yours. Is it possible that yon have no remembrance of me ?" Tbe old man shook his head. " Yet it is folly to expect it when I am 30 changed. Listen, sir," he resumed with a bright, earnest smile; " have yoa any recol¬ lection of a forlorn boy, on a crowded pier, whose little all was scattered by a mde blow? Have you forgotten his distress ? Have you forgotten that a kind stranger stopped to comfort him, not only by money, bat by cheering words ?" " Is it possible ?" stammered the old mau. " Yes, it is possible; lam that forlorn boy. Your money, which that night supplied my dying sister with luxaries and pleasures, pro¬ ved the stepping stone to my princely wealth. Sir, I was a ragged, friendless boy, but my heart treasured np yonr kind words aa price- leas jewels; and now the time haa oome when I may, in eome measure, repay them with interest."
The old man moved hia pale lipa as though he would speak; the banker resumed in- stantly :
had against him, 'Come down, and we'll d—n soon show you,' waa the reply.
"The next heard was the door being bro_ ken open, and tbe voice of Mr. W. in expos¬ tulation with them. The entreaties of his wife, begging for them to spare her husband, mingled with their oaths and obscene expres¬ sions, rendered the scene perfectly heart-sick¬ ening. I lay almost powerless with the pain of my wounds and conflicting emotions, un¬ til suddenly I was tbori'Ughly aroused by bearing them beneath my window, and at the back door. I told my wife not to make a noise, or even cry ; she did not cry, but ber last words were, ' For God's sake, George, fly! Go, go, if you can ;I—I—cannot see you mur¬ dered ! Oh, go! and I will do the best lean to detain them.'
" I had time to put on a pair of pantaloons and one stocking, wheu without any cere¬ mony the door was burst open, and a posse of midnight assassins entered below. I mo¬ tioned to my wife to extinguish the light, which she did. They immediately made a rush for the stairs, expecting no doubt that I was preparing for a fight, bnt I could net have killed a mouse then. I stopped and kissed my infant boy, (perhaps for the last time on earth,) then barely had time to leap from the window, and in doing so I cat ray foot very badly. It seemed the Fates wero against me. But suddenly the thought struck my miud, that if I could possibly make my escape, I might probably bo the means of sa¬ ving Wilson—thinking they dare not execute their bloody purpose on one alone, as the other would be too formidable a witness against them. For I thought of my wife and child—yes, I might yet live to rescue tbem from the blighting influence of their teach¬ ings—from a life of poverty, ignorance, and wretchedness. Thus, with renewed energy, I pursued my way through the corn fields and thickets, barefooted aud bareheaded, and nearly nude; bat at last I found a friend who relieved me, all that lay in bis power, by giving me a pair of moccasins aud an old hat. Thanks, my friend; may yoa never want relief.
"I was hotly pursued several days, The next morning after I started for California, I had the satisfaction of seeing seven of my pursuers mounted and armed to tbe teeth, pass me within twenty yards, while I was se¬ creted behind a sage-bush, I could not refrain from a smile, even then, in my critical posi¬ tion, to see their knives and pistols hung to their belts, while I had not even a pen-buife. " I have not yet heard from Salt Lake, and do not kuow the fate of Wilson. I entertain but little fears for the safety ot my wife and child. Tbe Mormons seldom molester harm a womau, except to coerce her into measures that are sometimes very disagreeable. I re¬ ly entirely on the well-known fortitude and •firmness of my wife, and do not think I shall be disappointed."
Potato Rot—Its Remept.—It ia not so muoh my object in this oommunication to pretend to give a,remedy for the potato rot as to offer some observations upon its probable oausea and aome suggeationa for the manage¬ ment and cultivation of that invaluable plant, by acting upon which I have uniformly sno- oeeded in raising good crops.
Now, whatever may be the exciting or im¬ mediate oanae of tbis disease, I think that tbe remote cauae is to bo found in tbe abuse to wbich the potato baa, for a long serious of years, beeu subjected. I meanby this that, in mauy iustances, the plant has been culti vated iu a manner contrary to ita original nature; and that, in conaequenoe, it haa be¬ come partially, if not permanently, diseased.
Planting in a soil in every respect uuanita- ble; planting aeed diseased or imperfectly selected; negligent, or, what is worse, a wrong mode of cultivation; expoaing the po- tatoea after being dug to early froats, chilling rains or the hot raya of the sun; putting tbem away in bad condition in damp cellars or iu improperly constructed receptacles in tbe ground—are some of the abuses to which the potato has been subjected, and aome of the caused of its present deterioration.
If these conclusions are correct, instead of seeking a specific for the rot, it would be a wiser and more practical course to endeavor, by proper care and cultivation, to restore th'a plant to its original soundness. And that the anggostions wbich follow, if faithfully practiced, will contribute to this result, if not entirelyaccomplish.it, my own experience demonstrates. During the past season one- eighth, at least, of the potatoes raised in this neighborhood were so much affected with the rot as to be unfit for use, while mine were almost perfectly sound. Of a crop of over a hundred bushels I had not, perhaps, more than a bushel of unsound potatoes,— As tho result of my experience in raising this crop during several years, in which I have be^ almost invariably successful in securing sound potatoes and obtaining a fair yield, I make the foUowing suggestions :
1st. Select if possible a new dry and sandy soil. If it is necessary to use a fertilizer, a compost made of ashes or lime and stable manure, in which the ashes or lime prepon¬ derates, is preferable to any other.
3. Having secured a proper soil, the ground shonld be deeply and thoroughly plowed in tbe fall, or early in the spring, and again im¬ mediately before planting. Whatever other precautions are overlooked in preparing the ground, that of deep plowing shonld uot be neglected.
3. Iu selecting the seed, the greateat care should be observed to exclude all that is in the least diseased. Care should also he taken to procure thoae varieties which experience has proven to be least liable to rot. In this section of country the kinds most in favor are the pink eyes, Irish grays aud a species of long red potato, for which I know no par¬ ticular name—the latter being less esteemed for table use, but less liable to rot tban either of the former.
4. In cultivating potatoes they sboald be kept free from weeds and plowed twice a least; the firat time when the vines are from three to six inches high, and the last about the time the first blossoms appear.
5. Potatoes shonld be dag as soon as they are fully matured. The practice of suffering them to remain in the gronnd a mouth or two after they are ripe, is, I am convinced, avery bad one. If uo suitable place has already been prepared for them, they may be placed in heaps and covered with straw or hay, suf¬ ficient to keepthemdryandprotectthemfrom the light and heat of tbe sun, as both are in¬ jurious aud should be carefully excluded.
(J. The best place to keep potatoes through the winter is a dry, dark cellar, having a wooden floor. If tbe cellar is damp, a layer pfchaff (that of wheat beiug tlie best) shdnld be placed under them and around tbe walls. They should be frequently examined, if pos¬ sible, through the winter aud the decayed ones should be carefully removed. Potatoes may be kept perfectly sound until harvest by keeping tbem iu a dark and tolerable dry place and by keepiug the sprouts broken off.
If the foregoing suggestions are faithfully observed I bave uo donbt that the ravages of the rot will be greatly retarded. Unfortu¬ nately for the potato, it has received less at¬ tention, with a view to its improvement, than almost any other kind of agricaltaral pro¬ duct. Let the same plans be taken with the potato as are bestowed upon some other kiuds of farming produce and the result will Jbe that this almost indispensable article of food will uot only become more abuudaut, bat greatly improved in quality.
Dead Animals.—If it should be your mis¬ fortune to have a horse, a oow, an ox or other animal to die on your haoda, after skinning them, haul tbem into your barnyard, cut up tbo carcaa."* into aa small pieces as you can conveniently, and form it into compoat, thua: apread a thick covering of plaster, or charcoal, over the body, plaoe four inches in depth nnder tbe parUt of the animal, then cover thom over with six timea tbe weight of the animal, with peat, marsh mud, river mud or muck, mould from the woods, or auy other earthly VHgetable matter. Let thia remain six monlhs when the flesh will have been separated from the bnues, and the earth¬ ly compoat will be fit for use, then mix with it ten bushels of ashes, and yoa will have manure enongh to fully fertilise an acre of land to go through a rotation of crops. All auch composts when being made, sboald, as each layer of earth is put on to the depth of six inches, have fine charcoal, or fine plaster strewn over it.
The bonea should be dissolved with dilute Bulphnrio acid, and mixed with ten bushels of ashes, which will be found equal to the manuring of another bctq of land.
And now let ns ask if thia dispoaition of a dead horse, cow or oxen, into twenty bushels of wheat, thirty buahela of barley, twenty bushels of rye, or forty bushels of oata, ia not better than to fill tbe air with the intolerablo stench of the animal while undergoing decom¬ position iu the ordinary way in which dead animals are disposed of.

How To Impkove Americak HosBAsns:—¦ " The American husband cultivates too little those ornamental .qualities which are dearer to women thau house, dresa, furniture, or costly apparel. He .is deficient in imagina¬ tion, and therefor" lacks that element of romance, without which it ia difficult to re¬ tain, however it may have been acquired, a lasting hold upou the affections of woman.
" Every woman would like to regard her husband as a hero; and when, after several years, intimate association, she wakes np to the fact that her male companion ia merely a common-place ready.-reckoner, utterly defi¬ cient in aympatby with all her finer feelings and her .noblest hopes and aspirations, she feels as one suddenly wakened from a dream; aud she must thenceforth sink down into a hopeless houseliold drudge, or open other sources of sympathy. She has been imposed ou—she fesls it; aud if, meanwhile, the gros¬ ser nature of the husband haa driven him to look for otber channels of enjoyment, yoa can readily see that un^ss the wife is for¬ tunate in providing for herself and for her more aspiring aud hopeful nature the meana of recovering her disappointed affections, there must be a new recruit added^to the army who take rank as sharers in the unex¬ plained mystery of unhappy marriages. A thorough yearly or monthly reading of ' The Arabian Nights' would restore many a hus¬ band to tbe heart of his despairing 'wife— provided that he bad the iieart aud tbe ima- \ giuation to enjoy them." j
How TO KEEP PbUIT AND PLOWEBS FRESH.—
Fruit and flowers may be preserved from de¬ cay and fa >ing by immersing them in a so¬ lution of gum-arabic in water two or three times, waiting a sufficient time between eacb immersion to allow the gum to dry. This process covers the surface of tbe fruit or flowers with a thin coating of gum, wbich ta entirely impervious to the air, and thus pre- venta the decay of the fruit, or the withering of the flower. A friend has roses thus pre¬ served which have all the fragrance of fresh- ly-plackedones, though they have been sep¬ arated from the parent stem since last year. To insure success in experiments of this kind it ahould be borne in mind that tbo whole surface must be completely covered ; for if the air only gains entranco at a pin-hole, the labor will all be lost. In preserving speci¬ mens of fruit, particular care should he taken to cover the stem, end and all, with the gum. A good way is to wind a thread of silk about the atom, and then sink it slowly in the solution, which shoald not be so strong as to leave a particle of the gum undissolved. The gum is so perfectnly transparent, that yoa can with difficulty detect its presence, except by tbe touch. Hare wo have another simple method of fixing the fleeting beauty of nature, and surrounding our- elves ever with those objects which most elevate tbe mind, refine tho taste, and purify the heart, WiiAT IS IT?—A westeru pettifogger once broke forth in the following indiguantstraiu: *' Sir, we're enough for ye, the hull of ye.— Me and my client can't never be intimidated .no^tyxanizedover, markthat? Aii^air, jnst as sure as this court decides against us, we'll file a writ of progander, sir, and we—. '* Here he was interrupted by the opposite eoansel, who wanted to know what he meant by a*writ of progander. "Why, sir, a writ of progander ia a—a—a—it's a—wal, I don't juat remember the exact word, bnt it's what'll knock thunder out of youroue-borse courts, anyhow."
By-uou-RApuYop A iiKiDB.—The Boston Post says:—" A young married lady in Vermont undertook Co expel a hog from the, garden, and soon drove bim into a corner—wheu pig¬ gy turned upon his pursuer, aud making a full tilt,struck her between her pedal extrem¬ ities, and would have passed safely through, had his uoseiiot caught in the folda of her hooped skirts. As it was, he took her safe¬ ly on his back, and then oommenced a reries of circuits about tbe garden that rivalled tbe best feats of a circus ring. At length a loop gave way, the lady turned a aumeraet, while his pigship made rapid tracks in -jearch of the hole through which he had entered the forbidden enclosure."
Electricity.—A lady riding in the cara found herself seatpd by tbe side of a matron who waa exceedP^ly deaf.
"Ma'am," said she, in a high tone, "did you ever try elictricity ?" " What did y ou say, Miaa ?" " I asked if you ever tried electricity for your deafness ?"
'• 0, yes. indeed I did. It's only last .•'um- mor I got struck by lightninc, but I don't Pee as it done me a mite of good."
