which saving the maladies incident had er known a day's wear either from ness or sorrow he seemed indeed thn favorite of fortune in person wealth and manners Generous and manly with many noble nnd good ties his detestation of every proaching to cowardice or effeminacy in his own sex was little short of ha the gentler part of the tion woman pleased him better when the extreme delicacy of her sex was dis- carded and none of those pretty yet misplaced which beau- ty is apt to assume were put in tice to attract admirers A young man moving in the circle Beverley did move was not likely to be long in finding a wife Julia St Pierre the only ter of a French refugee drew her first breath in England whither her parents had flown with what wealth they could collect at the breaking ont of the lion Educated as an English woman for she had known no other young lovely and accomplished Julia attracted the eyes and fixed the roving heart of Walter in those circles where they met and though he was very opposite in character for hers the mild lustre of tho early morn and his the radiance of the risen he became a lover wooed and won and they were united There was a hectic streak on the face of the fair bride that to all eyes save those of a delighted husband seemed the herald of an grave That disease the of our climate deadly as that of tho eastern since with like it sweeps away all who como within its influence consumption had already sown its in bosun spring up ere long and desolate the 1 pans over the early period of their married life liko an April it hnd its nnd hut no cloud of any rested upon it Walter of ful wife and t instruct IRT the of her sex under his tuition though natural ly timid became an expert house woman and the husband was never more in his element to use a nautical phrase than when attending ia tho double of esquire and tutor at the bridle rein of his graceful Julia rolled on and olive branches prang table but alas they Jid not bring increase of happiness the wife's duties were now to become sub- servient to those of the mother Nature anded it and Julia WHS obliged to of those pleasures in- nocent ia themselves which became otherwise when they drew away her at- from her little sacrifices on her part were made out a sigh for a mother can know no like fuat ef which she it tha at home But with a man it H different he dors not feel the tie of those dear ones to bind him so closely Walter was not naturally fond of ren and the scenes of domestic life were too tame for his ardent ment he loved to mount the wave er than glide down the calm smooth stream and his spirit became stagnant when it was not excited by constant This was iha hour of his I rial j now was be put to the test of the oath to love and cherish which in had sworn to her who had consented to share liis at the altar of his God The health of Heverley ly gave way under the many anxieties from which a mother let her situation in life be ever so exalted cannot be ex- empt How little in after lifts do any of us apprehend that unceasing fatigue that unvarying mess which pates the steps of time and furrows the cheeks of gentle woman with wrinkles not of When Julia became no longer able with pleasure to herself to accompany her husband to those scenes of gaiety or to endure late hours of the fashionable society in which she had hitherto been his partner Walter bore the bereavement in sullen silence or if when increasing disease forced a complaint from the lips of his fering wife a word of recognition that he had heard her did break from him it was such as blistered rather than soothed tho wound it fell upon Soon however tho gloomy calm like the beforo flic tempest forth in anger and ridicule and all ble wishes that ha had not a woman to fill his house with doctors and exhaust liis for were common salutations on the lips of Julia was only he would say to her friends only vous and wanted Dnd under this impression the poor sinking invalid was often forced into gaiety under the pretended search after that health which for her only obtained in tho quiet shades of retirement or the holy calm of domestic peace Often when the pitied Julia returned from such scenes and was conscious that the tide of health would never again flow through ner wasting veins would she gaze with ful eyes on the little flock bounding to meet her and mentally a prayer for their protection when her maternal arms could no be their often too whilo resting on her harp whose tuneful chorda her fingers had ceased to make obedient to hero touch would she weep over her youngest born the blue eyed cherub who like the sonification of dove flew to tie and repose in her wounded bosom Gently as tho fading light of tho melting rainbow tint after tint did her beauty pass almost She had long ceased to breathe a mur for it was sure to call up a cloud on the brow or an unmanly sneer on the lip of the heartless who now that his wife's accomplishments and beauty could no longer administer to his vanity showed himself the selfish being his passion made him Despite his better reason ho would not bo con- that the hectic flush and bright blue eyes of Julia could betoken aught but beauty and to conciliate that ward temper that fevered check anc wildly illumined eye often were clothed in when the was ing at her aching heart now you look something like yourself said the

upon herself she had borne ly ami without a murmur but if ever the most timid animal will turn and de- fend her young when attacked how much more will woman in defence of her So it was with the wife of Boverley feeling the l the iti shrine had been outraged outraged by him too who nil others should have respected and upheld them And for the first time words of bitter and re- proaching import escaped her lips 5 re- monstrance only produced the opposite effect intended on an obdurate and Walter Beverley the husband and father of those he had wronged quitted his home to spend elsewhere a gayer evening than he might now anticipate within its wall Late was the hour when he returned the twofold influence of wine and passion those demons ready to join com- together nnd make common cause against erring man and ried with the orgies of thu club whither ho had flown to stifle in noise arid riot the ef small voice that will be heard within us it was not till the beams of the sun shone into their chamber that awoke to consciousness and to look on the inanimate form beside his pillow Beverley was dead Exhausted by the vexation of the evening and she had softly kissed her children as they slept and retired somo hours before her husband's return alone in the silence and deep hush of midnight that awful power who bids the weary be at had visited her sorrows and her pure spirit had flown to Him who gave it Some moments elapsed ere the Walter could arouse his bewildered senses to comprehend the fatal Ho bent his ear to no gentle breathing answered to hid hopes and told him that life yet an inmate of that fragilo tenement touched the pale cheek over which the long hung like a jetty fringe with a tear moist His hand recoiled from the icy thrill which that touch sent through liis veins is no mistaking the touch of To summon the servants and medical aid was now but the work of a moment but in vnin the vital spark was quenched forever In all the stupor of grief too too nWp

as the lunar rainbow thy outline of the brighter arch of day hut gleams colder and paler beneath the chilly mid- At that awful moment what would the husband and the father have given to recall but tho last twelve hours of his existence to have caused the di- al of time to go hack as it did of yon I Haw did every unkind word that he had uttered every look of which he had been guilty set themselves in battle array him and rise from tho cells of his heart like spectres of terror to upbraid him The wolf that fod on tha stream of the thief the tooth of the viper or three fanged sting of scorpion are ing contrasted with tho agonies of an accusing conscience Yet the lesson did not lose its effect on the heart of Beverley a revolution which years could not have accomplished wan now the work of one little hour Prostrate beside his desolated couch with his children gathered around him the tint prayer that Beverley had uttered sinco ho had knelt in boyhood by his mother's knee broke from his humiliated soul for forgiveness for the past and direction for the future and there too on thai solemn shrine with the weeping es of love before him did he vow to con- his future life to their Welfare to be henceforth a father in lion ns in name The Spirit of her he had injured bent down and hallowed the prayer and tho recording angel who over the sinner registered the oath in heaven tioo He at his

have the land measured in this way 1 the Indians but white brother make too big walk Some of commissioners ing warm said tho bargain was a fair one and insisted that the Indians ought to abide by it and if not should be com- pel led to it exclaimed Fenn how can you compel them without Don't you ste this louku to murder T Then turning with a benignant smile to the Indians he said Weil brothers if you have given us too much land for the goods first agreed on how much more will satisfy you V This proposal gratified them and they mentioned the quantity of cloth and number of fish hooks with which they would be satisfied These were cheerfully given and the Indians shak ing hands with Penu wont away ing After they were gone the Governor looking round on his friends exclaimed O how sweet and

SELECTING SEED CORN one is acquainted with the fact that plants of any variety from obtained in a higher latitude or is in the the thing a greater elevation will come to maturity and ripen their seeds earlier than when tho process is reversed and the are obtained from a lower latitude or more position In no plant is this conspicuous than in corn J the present ed opportunities of the truth of the Where corn has betn brought from the to the and planted il has been uniformly litter in tassel lag and silking than that grown at the same elevation and where corn has been brought from tha north or the south for any distance the same results may be observed in tha first case the corn coming forward and in the last case being later than that grown from seed produced in the same neighborhood Admitting Mr statement of the growth of China tree corn and the time of its be- ing fit tor boiling to ba correct that corn distributed over the north from Long Island and some of it planted at much greater most striking the impolicy of sniveling seed worn from a more ern region than we have yet seen On tho line of the Eric canal two degrees further north by latitude nnd ona mom by elevation fuel in elevation ing considered equal to a degree corn which was fit to boil by the tenth of July on Long Island had scarcely silked by the tenth of August and would show few roosting or boiling cars by the first of September Another wo fuui in the Cultivator Judge Buel We received last spring twelve ears of Dutton corn from Mr Osborn of wego residence differing from ours iu and about degrees We planted with eight rows across our field the residue being planted with corn of our own raising Thu two weeks earlier than that from rained at Albany thus showing six or seven Jays for n degree of latitude in of the the northern seed giving the earliest corn in a ratio inverse to the ness of the season Such fuels should not be lost upon the farmer as have nn important bearing on runny of agriculture and may materially the goodness or security of his crop Where thero is any probability crop Iming ed by frosts when on accounts it ia to have it come to rity cariy send from a more elevated or more region should uni- be In choosing seed com tin's is especially important nnd tho instances adduced am conclusive and should not be overlooked or ten Well illud cars those that two or
