There such a thing as being alone in a crowd, yon know, Leslie," I added, Eadly, "and dangerously ill; and as ehe had consequently to hasten off at once, any chance that might have existed of my getting smitten with her was thns nipped in the bud. But the worst feature in the case was that Ehe did not comeback: Days passed away and merged into weeks, but still ehe said nothing about returning. And, meanwhile, the state of my affairs was becoming more desperate each day; so desperate, indeed, that I was at last obliged to speak seriously to my cousin, and beg of her to try and discover at once whether the heiress would honor me with her hand or not. To my no small relief, however, the young lady wrote by return of post to accept my proposal, and furthermore signified her willingucss to be married the following month! lint she added that ehe did not like lovemaking; and as her aunt still required her care, she would not return until the "day before the wedding, which ehe wished Should take place at the Wynnes. Now, I will not deny that this strange mode of procedure astonished mo "so much that my fears about the loose screw returned in full force; and had my position been less critical, I do believe I should have been inclined to draw back, even at the eleventh As it was, tone, and tripped np stairs, and eoon returned and placed two ten-dollar bills in bis band.

"Where did yoa get them?" he asked eagerly, turning them over on hie hands as though to ascertain whether they wero really genuine or not. "I earned replied his wife, gayly. "I knit afgbane, shawls, children's hoods, eacquca and socks at first for those whom I providentially heard wished articles of the kind, and afterwards was employed to furnish a trimming establishment with my work." "And kept it a secret from me?" "Yes, because I thought you would be worried for fear I was doing too much. I love to knit dearly, and consider it more of pleasant pastime than labor." "God be praised for giving me such a exclaimed her husband, earnestly; and, pressing his wife and child closely to his bosom, said: "Her children arise np and call her bleeeed; her husband also, and ho praiseth her; for many daughters have done virtuously, bnt thou exccl- Twenty years have passed, and James Uawley is a rich man. But Joseph Smith is a confirmed drunkard, while his wife has long einco paeecd from earth, a victim of misery and want.

Why will not wives assist their husbands to bear their trials with helping hands and hearts? If they would hut do so, how many families would be paved from ruin, and how sweet would bo their reward, not only npon earth," but in Heaven. that earth appeared suddenly transformed into a fairer place, and no element seemed wanting to render our happiness perfectl Never was there a more prosaic or less romantic fellow than I had been previously; but every man has his day that day which comes no more than once to any of us and this was mine, wherein I was enabled to enjoy life and its pleasures with such a keen and superadded zeet that it appeared as though I had all at once acquired a new eeneety means of which the others were quickened and intensified. But then, in addition to our new-fonnd treasure, there was much in our 'position and surroundings to make ns feel uncommonly jolly at this juncture also. For as I always maintain that love in a large handsome house is a far "pleasanter sort of thing than love in a cottage, so am I likewise of opinion that happiness is doubly happiness when experienced beneathxloudlees skies, and in euch rich and glowing scenes as those amid which we then found ourselves. We had ample means; we were comparatively young; life extended in a long vista far and fair before ns, we had pitched our tent in a most lovely spot; and above all, we were enjoying such a perfect climate that I have really seen days thero when, so to epeak, abstraction seemed to become sensuous, and thoughts so palpable and tangible, as it were, that I almost fancied I could see into the very heart of things, and hear the voice of Nature as she chanted her low, soft hymn.

And when the beauty of surrounding objects, from being seen with euch marvelous clearness and distinctness, affected me so powerfully, and all around, above and beneath was pervaded by euch a subtle charm, I felt as if I had only existed before, and was now living for the first time and in the fullest acceptation of that word. But such a state of things did not last, of course. Long before my cure was perfected I one day received a letter from England whith contained euch disastrous tidings that for some time I conld hardly realize the extent of the misfortune which had befallen ns. It was from my man of business, who informed me that we not only had been living too fast, but that the Australian firm in which most of my wife's money was invested having failed, we were consequently rcdnd from afllncnce to comparative poverty! This was a sad blow to me, I must confess; bnt, indeed, it was chiefly on Leslie's account that I felt it to be eo. I could not bear to think that ehe should be deprived of the comforts aud luxuries to which ehe was accustomed; and what added poignancy to my distress of mind was, that.

I had at least been partly instrumental in bringing about her ruin. But when she looked np smiling into my face, and assured me both with tongue and eyes that eo long as we were left together nothing could eeem an evil to her, I took comfort; antl, though I still suffered horribly from the thought that this calamity might have been averted had I been at the trouble of investigating into the etate of affairs for her eake, I hid my trouble far away out of eight, and, with every appearance of cheerfulness, set about making planB for the future, and regarding tho very different life we should have to leai! wEen we returned home. I need hardly add that this crash obliged ns at once to hasten back to England. And it also goes without saying, that when we got there I took care to chaff my couein about having inveigled me into marrying for a fortune which, like fairy money, had crumbled into nothingness in my grasp. She eaid it was very strange, and admitted that it was most provoking but I knew it was all "khiemct." I had married for droes and lost it; bnt I found in its stead the pure gold of affection, and in the unspeakable happiness which it brought me I was enabled to took upon my loss ns a gain, and to bless, the fate which had given me my little wife, even 1 hough she was not an heiress.

Slst, tT.V raKwtutvr 'Tvain wUUeaw Pvsatdeal ttrvut IVI-I I've felt what that is." She hesitated a second, and then said, timidly: "If you think you'd be lonely with no one but Johnson, and would like me to go, 1 will do eo." It was the old knew it quite well. She was as 'willing' to practice self-denial in great things as in Email; but 1 was determined to be firm on this occasion, and resist the sweet temp tation of letting her come with me sgainst her will.

bo I answered promptly and decidedly: "Not for the world." And before I had time to explain my reasons, as I had intended doing, she had quitted the room, and I was once more left alone with my ead thoughts. Well, the day came round only too quickly on which I was to bid adieu to my home and all that was dearest to me on earth; and when I saw the carriage drive tip in which I was to go to Southampton I was too ill to travel by rail I felt almost broken-hearted; for a terrible presentiment had seized me that I waeabont to look upon my 'wife for the last was alone in the library when I went to bid her good-bye, and I remarked that she looked paler than usual, and as if she had been weeping; I therefore ventured to draw her toward me, and as I bent over her I said earnestly: "Leslie, my wife, I may never see you again; have some pity, and do not turn away this time." She did not turn away; and for the first time in my life I pressed my lips to hers. But directly afterwards, being afraid to trtiEt myself to say more lest I should break down altogether, I left the room, and in a few minutes more I was driving down the avenue, weak and ill in body, and with such in my heart that I did not care what became of me. It was a singularly sweet day; the Eky was blue and smiling, all nature seemed to rejoice, and the scenes through which I passed were beautiful exceedingly. But what did it matter to me? For me the world was fair in vain.

I could not divest myself of the idea that my end was approaching, and, in the bitterness of my eoul, I asked myself why I was not Buffered to die in peace at home instead of being sent forth to perish alone and deserted in a foreign land? Meanwhile on I went, until, after a very tedious journey, I at length arrived at Southampton. When I got there I was obliged to go to a hotel, as the vessel was not to start for eome hours; bnt directly I entered the room which had been engaged for me I started back, thinking I had made eome mistake, for I saw that it was already occupied by a lady, who was standing in the window. She turned round, however, as soon as she heard me coming in, and, in doing so, disclosed to my almost unbelieving gaze the features of my wife! "I could not let yon go alone!" ehe said, as she advanced to meet me; "so yon must let me go with you. I waited to the last, thinking you might retract and ask me; but as you did not do so, I came down by rail, and arrived half an honr ago; and now my place is taken, and my maid is here, and everything is ready, and and it's too kite to demur now, for I'm determined to go, even though yon may not like it." "iiie it!" I exclaimed, fervently; "oh, Leslie!" but then, fearing if I eaidtoo much I might frighten her back into her former coldness, I cheeked myself abruptly and proceeded to tell her that I really could not accept such a eacrifice at her hands; that I knew she was coming against her will, and that that thought would make me miserable, But ehe combated all my arguments, and overruled all my objections, and in the end ehe had her way. When I sailed I did not go forth alone; my wife was with mc.

That evening I was too much overcome by the combined effects of fatigue and excitement to leave my berth; but the next morning as I lay on the deck, with Leslie seated close beside me, and felt the vessel bounding over the glad, bright waters, the sensations I experienced were pleasant beyond description. The ozone in the air was so ezhilarating that I felt better with every breath I drew; and besides that, there was ench a glory of sunshine abroad that it fell on the blue waves with a sort of dazzling sheen lighting np both sea and sky with an intensity of radiance that I never saw equaled, and rendering the elastic atmosphere eo sparkling and brilliant that the mere fact of existence under such circumstances was a pleasure in itself. Then, too, there was the charm of being alone with her: at home Ehe always seemed in a crowd, but now we two were isolated, eo to speak, from the rest of the world, sailing over the wide ocean together, away and away, and ehe was so constantly by my eide that I could gaze all day long into that sweet face, which had for many months past become the one face in all the world for me. Hence at this period, if I was not altogether happy, I at lea.st enjoyed tranquility and peace. But I did not get well.

On the contrary, I grew gradually so much weaker that at last I was unable to walk without help, and I could eee that others beside myself were of the opinion that my race was nearly run. Thus time went on, until we had nearly reached our destination; but the very night before our expected arrival I was suddenly awoke from my sleep by hearing a terrible commotion on deck, and a few moments afterward Leslie rushed into my cabin exclaiming breathlessly, "Oh, (it, -was the first time she had ever called me eo.) "the ship has sprung aleak and is sinking fast, and they are all making for the boats! For God's eake get up as fast as you can, or we shall be too late!" Alas! ehe might as well have asked a blind man to see as me to hasten. I tried to do so, of course, but it waa all in vain. My servant was not to be seen anywhere, and there was no one at hand to help me, same ouipeiil being the order of the night, and having only the very email assistance which poor Leslie could render me, so many precious moments were wasted that by the time I had succeeded in crawling up on deck all the boats had put off except one, which they said was too fall to admit of their raking any more in her. However, as Leslie was a woman, and a very light weight, I knew they would not refuse her, if.Ehe persisted and consented to go alone; eo I implored her to go ajid leave me to my fate, and try and save herself; bat instead of complying she turned to me with a look in her white face which I shall never forget to my dying day, and seid: "Ko, nothing could induce me.

If you must die I will die with you. You are my husband in life or in death I will never leave yon strange union, of two hearts eo long divided! Etrange destiny, only to lift the veil from those hearts when life was over and the eurging sea yawning to engulf theml These were the thoughts which passed through my mind as ehe spoke, for there was that in her voice and manner which even in those dread moments filled me with wild, unutterable rapture. And when I put my arm round her and drew her closer to me I had sunk exhausted on my sofa, which etill remained on deck, and Ehe was kneeling beside me, and looked into her face, dim as the light read such a revelation there that for an instant I fcit as if heaven had been suddotily opened to me, and I gasped rather than said: "Oh, Leslie, my love, my dearest! is it oh, is it true? have you at last learnt to care for me?" "Care for you!" ehe repeated; "that is not the word. I I but I need noTmindtelJjpg yon all pow. My husband, I tote vo.u--have loiS loved you with my whole hfart; but because I knew you did tot care for me I was too proud to let yoa see "Oh, my darling! I cried in deepair, "why did you not tell me this before? and how could you be eo blind as not to eee that it is love for you, or rather the fear of never being able to win yours, which has been killing mc! And now it Is all too late too late!" I folded her to my heart as I spoke; and so absorbed in each other had wc become that for eome time we did not perceive that we were quite aleinc on the deserted wreck, round which an ominous silence reigned, for the laft boat had departed, and the feg was so thick that it was out of sight as well as hearing.

Indeed, It was owing to the densencss of the fog, and the fact that the helmsman could not nee where he was going, that by a strange coincidence, almwt sim ultaneously with the accident, the veeeel ran npon a sort of nnndbauk, where the bow stuck fast and remained immovable, while the rest filled and eauk. To the bow wo climbed, and though thero was very little of it out of the water, there waa yet sufficient for us to cling to, and thus enable us to keep our heads and shoulders above it. But it was both a painful and awiul position, for every nerve was strained, and we expected that each moment would be onr last; nevertheless wo were obliged to remain in it dnring all the long hours of that never-to-be-forgotten night a night apparently so interminable that age of time eccnicd to have passed over ns ere It ended. However, when the morning dawned a joyful surprise awaited ns. By some miscalculation a mott fortunate one for ns we had been much nearer land when the accident oacurrcd than was thought; eo near, indeed, that the people on shore conld distinctly see the submerged wreck with their glasses; and as they did so as eoon as it was daylight, and immediately sent over a boat for ns, it thus came to pass that after ali our pains aud perils we got safe to land at last.

Once we got there all was well; and before long the danger through which we had passed, and tho night of terror we had spent, seemed only like a frightful dream, from which we awoke to a delicious sense of peace and repose. I soon began to feel better too. The secret sorrow which had been eating my heart away having been removed, my bodily health Improved rapidly, and in time I became qultemyself again. Meanwhile my wife's delight at my recovery was literally boundless; and as she had also the discovery of my love to rejoice over, the joy-bells rang out such constant and merry peals in both onr hearts at this period that for some time I do believe neither of ns had a wish un-gratified. Ohl what pleasant days we spent together then, and what a bright world we lived in! What long walks we had, too, when I became equal to so much exertion; and what endless talks about the birth and growth of tfiat feeling which bad sprung np eo mysteriously in the breast of each, unknown to the other, and which now Bach, gweet iafittSfiCfi ef our Jiv One between five and sis years ago, 1 was ecgf.gcd in that very unpalatable occupation called chewing the and of bitter fancy, and had iust come to the conclusion that, if I had uot reached the nadir of human misery, I must at least have get pretty near it, when a circum.

stance occurred quite suddenly and unexpected ly, which not only at once infused a certain amount of sweetness into my nnpleasant rumi nations', bnt hf.d the efiect of tininng and altering the whole course of my after-life aa well. During the three months which immediately preceded the time of which I write, almost every conceivable species of misfortune had befallen me. loses en the turf had been eon- siderr.ble; my beautiful yacht had been wreck-, oil; my favorite mare had jrouc dead lame; the girl to whom 1 was engaged had jilted me, and eloped with that personage popularly known as Another; and, worse than all, I had list maele the -startling discovery that I was terribly involved, so decoly ditipcd in tltim called debt, that I conld see no chance, either proximate or remote, cf ever beins able to cxti icate myself from my difficulties. Under these circumstances it will occasion no surprise if I add that I was wont at this period to look at life somewhat darkly; bat on the evening in quosticn 1 Kit so peculiarly wretched that I had jast begun to think that if I could hit upon an easy, speedy way of making my exit from the stage of existence I objected to shooting my-eclf, because it made so much noise, and to prus-sic acid, because it was so painful I should be a fool if I not avail myself of the discovery, when the door opened, and my cousin, Mrs. Wynne, entered the room, and thus addressed me: Do yon tnow, Chirioj, thinking rof yon ttri your aBVJrs deprived me several hours of u.y natural rest last and considerably impaired my appetite fer breakfast this morning; but to-day, thank jroodness.

I sec" my way to helping you out of your diiEcul ties, and come down to impart the suggestion to you; you must marry an heiress!" Thanks!" I replied; "the snccestion is trood, tut, I fear, purely chimerical. Unless I were to evolve an heiiess out of my inner consciousness, as tne Germai.8 say, I rcully tio not eee where one is to como from." Not so far t. Charley," returned my cousin. 'Leslie Foster has come to town: and I saw her tc-tlay, and from what transpired Curing that in tervicw I know that you can have her for the atkinjr." I exclaimed, and true to the habits and instincts of my class, notwithstanding the eoldt vista opened before me, IshAnk with a feeling nearly akin to repugnance' from the idea of liiiktmr myseif to a woman who could suffer he-rseif to be won nnsonjrht. 'It is not to be done, Alice, not even for the money," I went on; and fvi if it were, I am sure that cither yon are mfeti.ken or there must be screw loose somewhere! VruBi in both surmises, Charley.

I Inow what I have you to be the case; and for the rest. Leslie, though not iuiEclsome, is one of the best arid.tae-est girls possible. But you know her. do jcu That is to say, I have matjher in society, but I am bound to add I never noticed her, and no more did sue pie, I'll swear." There you err aeain. She admires yon particularly, and thinks yon so handsome; not as yon.

ns you might be, perhaps, aud rather too apt to look as though everything bored yoa, bnt all the same, a very nice-looking fellow, and she knows from me that you are a very good one." Well, it's the strangest thing I ever heard of," I was bciunin, but my cousin interrupted me by saying; '-Not so strange at all, if you knew the wh le 6tory. The fact is. she, like yourseif. was woing to be married, bnt at the hour the match was broken off, and I do b.lieve it is a i'esling of which makes her anxious fo marry now. But as she is all I have represented her to be, and yon will have fa I control over her fortune if yon take her, I do not see what there is to prevent its being a very bappy menage, alter ail; for yon know you were not touched iu the other quarter, and have therefore a free and occupied heart to offer her." -Yes," I replied, that is quite true; but But at the soujd of that disagreeble little conjunction my cousin lost patience, and as she rose to leave the room she said, "Well, Charley, if yoa choose to be a fool I can't help you.

However, Leslie is coming here to-morrow to spend some weeks with me, so yoa can make np your mind between this and then; and as she is not to arrive nr. til evening, yon will have plenty cf time to think the matter over." Of course I did think the matter over; and as fin inevitable logical sequence, I also of course came anally to the conclusion that, though I had no vocation for marriage in the abstract, and an es pecial distaste for it in this particular instance, as beggars cannot be choosers, it would be utter maikess for a poor devil iu myposition to throw away such a chance, and that it was therefore my bounden duty to go iu for the heiress, and win her if I This was the decision I came to; and-in the solitude of my own room, as I a tolerably cool bund on most occasions, I fancied that I should be able not only to meet her, bat also to carry out my intentions with a caiin. utibiiTshing front. Eat when the next evening eiiae, bringing her with it, and I actually foimd myself in her presence, I felt my heart beating vigorously against my waistcoat as I rtood stink of her charms and f.u-1 trying to realize that the woman w.is before me with whom, as it appeared. I was destined to spend the rest of my natural life.

Luckily, however, I was on the whole favorably impressed. She had that indispensable requisite in a nice woman, a very soft, sweet voice; besides which her tongue was an organ which most excellent music; and when upon dtmer being announced she rose like Venus the foam of a sea of white muslin I was obliged to admit, that though not exactly pretty, phe was certaiuly very pleasant to look at, as Weil as to listen to. The tituner, during which she sat opposite me a grsce before meat psssed off very well; partly because we were a parti, carree, a circnia-s ance whieh generally makes everything pretty tqrtare, bat more particularly because the conversation was general, and all contributed their quota to it. But when we returned to the I had a different story to tell; for thortly we got there, Mr. Wynne having fallen asleep behind his newspaper, and his wife having pointedly left the room, my position became such an awkward one that I began to feel juite put out and embarrassed; and in my abortive efforts to appear the reverse, I felt pf.infu:!y coLKioiis tLat I was both looking and actirg like Kow before I go fcrher, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I was not a fool by any means.

On the contrary, my advice was eon-Haiit'y and earc-rly sought for so my money, too. unfortunately and at ectiool and in college 1 was considered a regular sap. However, thocgh I might be quite at home in tracing Csstr through the mazes of an extinct topograph 5 though the unknown quantities of algebra were by uo mc-ii. unknown to no though I 'cJ 1 get Old Mother Hubbard" to rather.

Cannot yoa think of something fresher and leea mctccrolo-jtiea: to tell me?" Are yoa fond of gardening?"

Please say something witty or funny; or if yoa haven't anything of your own, you can tell me some nice little historiettc or clever anecdote. I'm eo fond of good stories of til kinds." I saw she was chaffing me to the top of her bent; and I was juet about to tell her so; but before I had time to carry out my intention, our host, having burst the chain of slumber by which he had been bouad, suddenly roused up and netitioned for some music, adding, that he koped ehe would give him a great deal, as it was long time since he had heard her sing. Cf course the was obiieea to eompiy wuumure fiuest: and once he cot her to the piano, not lieing in league with his wife, he kept ucr there asking for song after song, until it was time to retire. So the evening ended sweetly, if not harmoniously, after all; and while listening to the music which was really exquisite of its kind, my temporary irritation passed away, and 1 almost forgot that, instead of being amusing, I xnnst have appeared to her a very heavy dragoon indeed.

1 The next afternoon we went ont to ride, and lor many succeeding days we did the same thing. nt my cousin always accompanied us, and never papain absented herself in the evening either, 'which waa A much better arrangement, seeing that we bad not ft word to cay to each other which the whole world might not hear, and her iresence rev en ted the awkwardness of a tettrO- UU. This state at thing lasted for ten days, but At the ex fclratlon cf that time Htta Foster rot a ttlnrram one morning, to aay that an aunt of Uuuu tduja tbfi jru TCU Htstll aitAciied, an officer and a gentleman for this cjie Bttjhj woman because I kncw thgj tcr crjght f7ts wtri fixed cpoa xn Kxifiluiisic-rty, at thon-'h tee however, I was obliged to let matters take their course. But when the day drew near on which to sign the death-warrant of my freedom, my spirits were by no means exuberant, and I was filled with that sort of pity for myself which all men feel except, of course, those Who are desperately in love at thcthonght of bidding adieu to their bachelor days forever, and making that terrible promise to forsake all others, and keep only unto one as long as they shall live. All I cau say of my marriage is that it duly came off on the day appointed, and that immediately after the ceremony we started for Foster Hall, where I found Leslie's invalid aunt installed, and was informed that Ehe was not only to spend the honeymoon with ns just fancy a honeymoon with a third party but was to live with us altogether.

This was Etartling, and not particularly agreeable; but what struck me as more strange thnn anything else waa the change which had taken place in my bride. The mocking light had left her eyes, she no longer chaffed me, and the gayety and brightness of her manner had given place to a sort of grave earnestness for which I was quite at a loss to account. I fancied, too, several times during the day, that she was anxious to speak to me on some important subject, but could not pluek np courage to do so; and that my surmise was correct events abundantly proved, for about an hour after we reached our destination, I sitting alone in the drawing-room, gazing out on the fair domain, now all my own, when ehe entered the room very softly, and coming np quite close to where I was seated, she said, "I have been wishing to speak to you all day, and now I must do so. I know, of course, that you married me merely to extricate yonrself from your embarrassments; but as you broke no troth, and did not deceive me, and as yon knew I was not an objectionable person in any way, I think yon were perfectly justifiable in doing so. I had my own reasons for marrying yon, too; but, as yon are aware, affection had nothing to do with my motives any more than it had with yours.

However, we will let that pass; what I want to say to you now is that my fortune, being for the most part at your disposal, I hope you will at once pay all your debts with it, and make yonrself as happy as possible in every respect. But under the circumstances, though we can be the best of friends, we must both go our separate ways in life. I have my own pursuits, you have yours; and we can follow them without inter fering with each other in any way, and that is what I wish should be the case." She held down her head as she ceased speaking, and I did not answer at first, because for some moments I did not exactly know what she meant. But when her meaning did dawn npon me, it was in the very coldest of tones that I replied. "Of course it shall be just as yon please!" And before I had time to add another word, she had quitted the room.

Well, time passed on, and I am bound to Eay the chariot wheels did not drive heavily either. Once my debts were all paid, I felt as light as a bird; and having always believed that if wealth does not bring happiness, it at least brings an exceedingly good imitation of it, I had no reason to change my opinion then, when I found myself the possessor oi a charming house town, ditto the country, with as many horses as I liked to keep, and, above ail, the power of having my friends with me whenever and wherever I wished. Meanwhile my little wife remained just the same as she had been at the commencement of our married life, and was ever kind, but ever co'd. She seemed anxious to please me in all things, and not only consulted my wishes, but on every possible occasion apparently tried hard to anticipate them. We never had even a word of dissension either; for whenever our tastes and opinions differed on any subject, she invariably insisted on yielding in my favor, and obliged me to have my owu way.

Bnt further than this we never got. I never saw her eye brighten at my approach-, or heard her voice take a tender tone when she addressed me; there was no caress in her manner toward rue, and she seemed perfectly indifferent as to whether I was with her or not. Like two parallel lines we moved along, ever together, but ever apart always near, but never approximating; and, beyond knowing that Ehe had the swactest and most amiable disposition in the world, I knew no more of the inner life of thought and feeling of my own wife than if she had been a thousand miles away from me. "Strangers yet" we indeed were, even after having been a year together; but how completely so the relation of a little incident, whieh occurred at this period, will best show. I had occasion to go up to town on business, for a week, one time, and on the day of my departure, after having shaken hands with the old lady and Mrs.

Wynne, who was then staying with ns, I was just taking my wife's hand also, when Alice' called out: "Oh, Charley, I am really ashamed of yon; to- think of bidding your wife good-bye for a whole week in that cold fashion! Give her a parting kiss, sir, or I ehail never think well of you again as long as I live." I must confess that I felt myself growing most uncomfortably red when my cousin said this; but I at once bent my head to act upon her suggestion, and would have given the kiss, had not my wife divined my intention and coldly turned her cheek to me. Now I am Euro that, had Ehe known what it would cost me, she would not have given me this rebuff, for ehe was kindness itself; but as it was, so deeply W33 I hurt and wounded by it, that I swear I never felt a keener or sharper pang, even when the liussians amcsed themselves by peppering me in the Crimea. "Dans 1'amour il atonjotirs. Ten qui baiee et l'nn. qui tend jonla," Eays a French writer, and he is quite right; no two people are ever equally fond of each other there must always be an excess of affection on one Eide or the other.

But I think the remark might be supplemented by saying that no two married people ever continued very long equally Indifferent to each other cither the feeling being certain, in one of the parties, eventually to change into love or hatred. As a case in point: for some time I used to think that our indifference was perfectly well matched: afT while, when Jlje gloss ot noveTty wore off, the feeling of delight with which I-tntercd on my fair possessions, I need (o wonder, though by no means of an introspective habit, or given to it watfatl wag not hat pier'why" 'ex perienced such a fceiing of dissatisfaction at everything, and why I felt as though I were hungry and thirtty, nay, starving in the midst of plenty, and when I had apprreutly all that heart could desire. But as time wore on, and I fonnd myself trembling at the sound of a certain light footfall, and bluHhirrg like a ecbool-boy by chance my hand came In contact with a certain small white one, tay in assisting its owner in or out of the carriage, 1 at Jas-t awoke to the startling and painful conviction that I wag deep, ly, irrevocably, paetUmalely in Jove with my own wife. I have nsed -the words "startling and painful" because I had never previonhly experienced a stronger affection for anything feminine than that with which my favorite marc had inspired me, and because 1 was so bitterly con scious or my wife Indifference. Indeed, as I was thus fully persuaded of her coldness, and too proud to beg for her love, this state of things might have gone on forever, had not an event at length occurred which not only Interrupted the even tenor of our way, but at once changed the whole aspdet of affairs; and it happened in this wise: One day, while ont riding, I was thrown from horee, and eo eevercly Lnrt that my recov ery was very slow indeed; so slow, that, as I had not been in good health previously.thc doctors began to fetr the worst, and at last informed mo that if I wished my days to be long in the land, I must go to a milder climate before the winter set in.

I shall never forget my sensations when these tidings were communicated to me. Like llezckiah of old, I turned my face to the wall, and mourned sore; for I knew, cf course, there was no chance of my wife accompanying me, and the thought of leaving her was worse than death to me. Ypn see I was under no misconception regarding my feelings then; by that time I was only too fully aware that for me the world was but divided into two parts; where she was, and that dreary waste where sho was not. For some time after the fiat had gone forth for me I lay on the couch in the sanctum, as it were, stunned and speechless from grief; but I was -at last aroused from the painful reverie into which I had fallen by hearing someone enter the room, and on turning round and looking np, I saw my wife bending over me. Good heavens, Leslie!" I exclaimed, involun tarily, "ou nerci uo you know for a moment I fanclea must nave been dreaming?" one looueu iu uvurcuiugiy for a few sec onds, and then sam soitiy: "I am so sorry to near yon are not getting Dctter, and tne aoexor eays yon must go abroad!" "Yes; it appears I have only the alternative of going away for a time or forever." "And whom should you like to go with you?" she asked.

There is in Marylond very little old or permanent pasture ground. Whatever grass is grown is intended primarily for the hay market or for improvement of the land, as by clover. These are allowed to continue so long as they are thought to answer their several purposes, and the ground is broken again to go through a stated round of grain, tobacco, potatoes, and then seeded down as before.

Many of our people finding that they have on their hands more land than they have means to cultivate, and which they cannot advantageously dispose of, might find it profitable to throw a portion of it into permanent pasture to be grazed by sheep or by larger cattle, according to its quality. But there is a common opinion that our lands are not well adapted to pasturage; tifflt, they are not good grass lands, and if by chance We have the opportunity of witnessing what they ean do, the "natural grasses" make so poor a show as compared with such as are sown on highly cultivated land, that we are not encouraged to make a fair trial of their capabilities. But it should be known that the very best. of the grasses found in the old pastures of England, of Western New York or elsewhere are iiative here in Maryland on all the better claES of lands everywhere, perhaps, except on the barrenest sands, and that their feeding capacity is not at all to be jlidged by appearances. We take first what we know as "blue-grass." It is eo true a native that there is hardly a fence-corner in the State where it may not be fonnd.

All our cultivation tends to its extirpation, but there is no getting rid of it. When we stop our work it comes quietly jp again, and eo it will forever. We have but to let it alone, aud we have in time a bhie-graes pasture not such as onr neighbors of Loudoun and Fauquier counties an ox of a thousand pounds may tread in rainy weather and not soil his hoof perhaps, but of the very same blue-grass. In what degree ours may be made to approach theirs we cannot tell until we have done as they have let them stand nn-plowed for fifty years or more. Our own would vary, too, in feeding capacity with the character and richness of the soil, but all would thicken and improve from year to year.

Wherever this blne-graes has been utilized, as in the Virginia counties named, its value for pasture is too well known to need a word of commendation. For the benefit of others we quote what is said of it by tbe best authorities elsewhere. At one of the meetings of the New York State Agricultural Society, held at Utica, the question proposed for discussion was, "Ought pastures lor the dairy to be kept permanently in grass, or to be renewed by plowing and reseeding." The discussion was opened by Mr. X. A.Willard, of Little Falls, a gentleman whois well known to have devoted much attention to this and other matters connected with the management of dairies and dairy stock.

Speaking with reference to his observations in Orange county especially, he said: "In the old pastures there are several species of grasses that grow up spontaneously, aud afford sweet and nutritions feed, and from which the best qualities of milk and butter are produced. These grasses form a rich, thick turf, leaving no intervening spaces. The grasses are similar to those found in the old pastures of Herkimer, Lewis and Oneida. They embrace tho June or blue-grass, (Kentucky.) Poa prateiuis; the fowl-meadow grass. Pea scrotina; meadow fescue, Festuca pratensis: red-top, AgrostU Vulgaris, and the wire-grass, (Maryland blue-grass,) Pea com' pressa.

Timothy, orchard grass, red clover and other forage plants are also grown iu pastures and meadows. The June grass is regarded as very valuable, throwing out a dense mass of leaves highly reiished by cattle, aud from which a superior quality of butter is made. It is found growing throughout the butter-district of the county. The wire-grass is deemed one of the most nutritious of grasses, is very hardy, eatrerly sought after by cattle, and is one of the best grasses for fattening. Cows feeding upon it yield milk of the richest quality, and from which the nicest butter is made.

It flourishes well npon gravelly knolls aud in shadv places, and its stem ib green after the seed has ripened. It is found growing in all parts of the county." Mr. Sanford Howard, a well-known agricultural writer, and for many years secretary to the Michigan State board ot agriculture, in allusion to Mr. Willard's opinion as here expressed, Bays: 'The I'oa compt-essa, sometimes called flat-stemmed blue grass, frequently wire grass, is not so common, though it will grow better on dry soils than the Foa jrraUnsis. It is even superior in nutritive properties to the latter, and is generally placed at the head of all grasses in this respect.

The opinion of the Orange county dairymen that it is one of the best grasses for fattening and for producing the finest-flavored butter, is supported by the testimony of every one acquainted with the species." Such is the character of our "blue grass," one of the first native grasses to show itself when we would make a permanent pasture. That it or any other grass will makegood pasturage on very poor land is not pretended, but that when we wish to have pasture of first-rate quality we need not be at a loss for one of tho very best of pasture grasses. Along with it comes another, a fit companion and ally, the white clover. It should be great encouragement to know that these, which come in naturally on our lands are, just what are natural to the lands most famous for pasture and most prized bytheir owners. Speaking still of these fine dtiiry lands of New York, Mr.

Howard continues: "The permanence of the sward in pastures depends much on the species of grass introduced, and hence it is important to obtain the best euch as are both hardy and nutritious. It is riot always easy to obtain seed of the desired species. Fortunately the blue grass, which in reference to all it's properties is the most valuable, comes in almost universally on good grass lands. Tho white clover is nearly as common, and though too much of it in a sward renders the feed more succulent than is desired, a mixture of it with blue grass or with wire grass makes excellent pasture for all kinds of stock. "The June grass or green grass, called in Kentucky aud elsewhere "bluo grass," is as natural to our soils as the others, but requires a higher degree of fertility to make it flourish.

It grows especially after tho application of lime. Tho grasses which are generally sown for meadows or for hay, as timothy and red-top, are not tho beet for pastnrcs. Timothy is not a very lasting grass, and either for meadows or pasture's will not maintain its vigor for many yearst Ivd-top is more euuuiing, but not very HOW TO WAKE l-UHMANBN? PASTtJKE. Reeing that much of Our farmiug land may be With adVantitgS turned to permanent pasture, and that we have at baud the very best grasses for the purpose, it should bo considered what is the treatment by which we may best accomplish the end In view. We are very far from advising that such portions of land as are unfit for profitable cult ivation bo thrown out as grazing ground that stoek may glean from It a meagre support.

This Is too simple and too common a mode of treatment, and tho wretched uhow of washes, gullies and gutters that started lu tho corn rows 1h thu iintiirul result apparent in many sections. No land should bo Inld to grass, natural or artificial, without being prepared for it by such careful plowing as will secure It against serious washing. Old corn rows may bo considered one of the beet dovlces to bring about the contrary effect. Again, no land shonldbo laid to grass that is Incapable of covering Usui! jirouiptly with growth of some kind. Kvtai lu land of good quality tho native grasses take Some time to maku good turr, and mitll this Is accomplished tho soil Is too much exposed to washing.

It is always belter, therefore, to now down with other grasses, clover, at least, which, occupying the ground for a few years, am! unod for either pan-tnro or meadow, give tho native grasses tlino to establish themselves. Tho sown grasses require a cortaln degree of fertility, and this is very duslrabluto makoa good covering of native grasses, aud to protect tho ground at once with a good sod and profitable growth. Ab they puss away tho others tnko their placo, and will stay under tho closest feeding. Clover will havo enriched tho gronud, and any nniount of top-ilressliig wlllto taken with profit. Yet whilo tho value of the patiirage will bo proportioned to tho richness of tho noil, these native's will grow and nourish where there Is bnt moderate fertility.

The must economical tiso of manures or fertilizers of uuy description, it may be safely assumed, is their moderate application broadcast to a well-set grass field. It is not necessary, therefore, perhaps not desirable, to wait for a higher degree of enrichment thnn will answer tho purpose of filling tho soil with grass roots. The natjvo grasses mako llttlo show in com- Carlson with such ns wo sow for hay, but it must considered thuttlie nutritive qualities of the beet of them ore much greater, and they keep up a continual successive growth through the season that Is very much needed in pasturing a largo stock lor the dairy and other purposes.

It was a cold dismal evening in November that two laborers might have been seen wending their way along the streets of a large manufacturing town. Slowly they proceeded with dejected countenances, not exchanging a word until the one whom we shall call Smith halted before a neat little house and unlatched the gate. Then there was euch a look of utter misery and despair gleaming from his eyes, that his companion murmured, "We must trust in God, Smith." "Yes," he articulated gloomily, and going to the cradle took up the six weeks' old baby, and sorrowfully pressed it to his heart. 'I do wish you would put that child down and get ready for supper," exclaimed his wife, after enduring his gloominess for eome time. He slowly obeyed, and then eeated himself at the table with a sigh.

"What in tne world is the matter with you to-night?" ehe aEked, as fche sat down opposite him. His voice trembled as he replied, "I suppose you might as well know first as last. I have been discharged. "There!" exclaimed his wife quickly, pushing back her chair; "just what I might have expected! I'd like to know what we are going to do now. Winter coming on and all.

I declare, Smith, yon will torture me to death." "I am very eorry, Lydia, but I cannot help it." 'Sorry! No, you are cot Borry at all. You would just as lief see your wife and children starved as not. It's nothing in the world bat your poor managing." lydia, you are cruel. Instead of helping me to endure my great trouble, which is bearing me down to the very earth, you make it ten times harder for me to bear. I was not the only one discharged.

There was Jim Hawley and ever eo many others. Business is dull." Business is dull!" she mimicked after him. 'Always an excuse for a worthless man. To think that you should be discharged now, just as our rent is due; and then we are out of wood; and look at my shoes, won't you? my feet almost on the ground. I wish I had never married you," and a dark look accompanied the last worde- The poor husband now covered his face with his hands and groaned aloud.

This seemed to encourage his wife to go on; for ehe uttered words more and more bitter, until at last, driven almost to a Etate of frenzy, the wretched man rushed from the house to the tavern, and there sought to bury the thoughts of the past and future in the rum cap- In the meantime James Hawley, his companion in labor, entered his home with a very ead countenance. But before he had stepped over the threshold a loving pair of arms were thrown around his neck and a pair of sweet lips were pressing to his. He returned the salutation eadly, and then inquired for the baby. "Sije is sleeping sweetly in her cradle. She has been a perfect little darling all day.

Supper is waiting; so make haste. Here warm water and a towel. Are yon not later than usual, to-night?" "Yes, Mary; I bring, bad news to you." Ead news!" ehe exclaimed, turning pale as, for the first time, the that eomething was wrong. "Yea; I was discharged to-night, and I do not know as I can get anything to do before epiiug. Business is so dull." "Is that all?" aeked his wife with a eigli of "I iiiougti was eoinethiiig terrible, the wfty you looked." "And is it not torriblo enough? What will become of us this winter if I am out of employment?" "The same God who feeds tho eparrow and clothes the lilies in tho field will not let us suffer, dear James." "God bless yon, dear Mary.

Thero is sweet comfort in your words." "And now let us havo supper," exclaimed his wife, cheerfully. "See, 1 havo your favorite dish shortcake and toast. Do not let your troubles impair your appetite, and then, after tea, we will talk it over. God doeth everything for the best. And ae our day, bo ehull our strength be." In the evening it was determined that tho quarter's rent should bo paid immediately, anew supply of coal obtained, and tho remaining portion of the money placed in tho wlfo'e Lantld to be dealt out as sparingly as poeelblo.

Then Mary suggested that all her pretty parlor furniture should bo put away In tho garret, mid tbe front room let out. Further tbuu this they could lay no plans, and tho husband went out to pay the rent, the future looked so dark to tho young wife that sho could not altogether restrain her tears; but seeking strength from on high, her face wore thu same cheerful smile when her husband returned, and llttlo did ho know that during all that night long, whilo he and his bnby were soundly sleeping, his wile lay awake planning for tho future. Three mouths have pasecd without a day's work all that timo, and now another quarter's rent is duo. In vain tho laborer thrusts his hands into bis empty pockets, and in vain racks his brains for eome solution of tho problem how the rent is to bo paid. Tho lodger had paid his money monthly, but then that was not enough to meet tho sum, If bo had It, and of courso his wise had spent that as fast as sho had received It, and it was an everyday wonder to James how Mary managed so well.

With feelings of deep despair he entered tho houBc Tho tablo was spread with tho eaino favorite dish. Thero was tho ehortcako aud toast, with a golden lump of butter, a plate of honey, and a deep dish of roasted apples, to bo served with sugar and cream, whilo at his wife's plate sat the steaming teapot. As James took it in, all at one glance, he greatly wondered at tho frngal yet comfortablo way of living, llow hie wife had been able to make tho small amount of money last eo long was a mystery to him, and yet ho could not help wishing inwardly that sho had been more economical; then, perhaps, the rent might havo been paid, and he felt that it would be better to have subsisted on one cruet of bread rather than be turned out of doors homeless. He refused to eit at tbe pleading that be had no oppctite. And a great large tear arose in the strong man's eyes as he informed his wife that on the morrow they would bo turned from their home, to go he knew not where, as he had not a dollar in his pocket to secure them a room where, "la that exejaynca his wife, jnaaoft wearing ADDorei.
