Finally, I carried her oft suddenly, married her hurriedly, and jre.tumbled I nasziij o a.aat to cousiaer it slowly. , I remember I hwte her In. mr arate, w aa hour, or frrrojit the-dark -sJtaidea& kikes possesswa of him. fcmghin&and crying, and I plaving the mixed part ot the bravo and the con soler, bat afraid to get up and light the gas. for fear I should dissipate some part of the illBoe.

Oh. you fellows whoeoert a girl four or five years, have no Wen f the luxury, the eesteae enjoyment, of such a tie main! Long before you have mar-j tied your woman, you have growit ac-. customed to your x'vdh. proprietorship. 1 Everybody has tacitly aeknowleiiged it, j bv keeping cm$ F vour way. The edge j of possesoWMi has.been duMed -by slow familiarity. You La-ve talked over all the posaie details of the important event, fixiag even the color of the charr-lintBgs; and the bridtd ceremo ny is only an incident hi a series of cir cumstances that you have arranged with the dull formality of aa under taker.

This is your national-humor wooer. Give e-k the brute- that I was, if the thing is to he rehearsed. Let me leap oct of the purgatory of doubts into the paradise of possession.

Now you know who the baby of this storv kj. The manly brute who, so to speak, bttcst into amiziraonv in tlas. hargkir- ioas manner, andergees several verv otrious transformations. For the first six months he swells about with tbe air of a eonne5or. and sneaks of "my wife" as if she were a banner wrung; from the eaemy. His chief concern i to keep himself from finding oat how soft awl senti mental he is. His great blindness will not let him see that marrying knocked some of the brutality out of hira, and that now he is developing into a xe spoasibie haeam being. During she next six months he grows a little restless. He remembers the peculiar and sharp pleasure of capture, nod steady possession does not renew it. This is the last dare of the original bruta in him. Inhis reckless laoiaeiitsi of caniempcttloe, he wonders if after aH, the poiyjgamons Nations were not right, and. if. from a purely physiolog ical point of view, it would not" be bet ter if a man married every year. At the end of twelve months. T found by actual experience that the dark brown hair did not send the same electric shock through me when it swept over my forehead. The truth is. I didn't think she friz zled it so exquisiiely. But be that as it may. she noticed, with a woman's keen sense, all that was ' Tjossinfr in mv mind.

I was airaid of hurtiir her, with my old boisterous and lasty affection Then one day I made a fresh discov ery. It Hashed upon me suddenly that she mi-ht die. I hadn't thought of this before. What business had my property to die? I turned about and ran home as fast as I could, for I thoueht I'd stop the dvin nonsense, as I a husband should. V aen I got to my door and rang the bell, an old woman came to the door, opened it cautiously, put her finger to her lip, and beckoned to me mysf eri- oasiv.

Trien my premo nition was right. She was going to die. The old woman -stood with her back to the door. "Xou must stay here," she said. "I'll go up and see. Wait a moment." I think I was about to jump over her head, when she turned round, with an awful official severity, and said: -Do vou want to kill her?" ulor I answered, submissively.

There are two occasions in a house hold, when the head thereof feels his i utter insisuHfcance. On both of these occasions, a dread, foreign element stalks grimly into his sanctuary, feys its old bonnet on the hail stand, ha-s is reticule upon the hat-rack, looks at him icily, and takes sifent possession of the place. Protests are vain in the presence of that dire minister. Au thority is of no avaiL for it is the in sigaia of the invincible necessity under its wrinkled forehead; and calmly k nourishes tbe most potent of all au thority, that of a precedent. A man inst actively knows, whenf his methodical moneter assumes con- ttrol of his hoape, that one of two dread events is about to follow life or death. But if be is as it was jast oat of tbe animal kingdom, and hardly vet a f ull-Sedsred man, he will he very apt to i.raistake one event for the other. He oalv knows that he is in dreadf el suspense.

A fantastic thatf these unosoal and sKmineant circum p stances are onlv the wreiuniBanes ot others in the same ehara. That pres ently a dead hush will f alir over every thing; that he will taeet the doctor and shake hands with him solemnly, and that personage will go away hurriedly, and another more dread wiH come. Then there wiH be a ptmaent smell of varnish m the house, and a shtiffie of feet. The windows will be opened and the blinds pelted down and whati thee? Does not the very strenuoasBess of life breed this dread in the brain? Do others not aaeh through the mind that picture of a group, black and silent, over the grave, aad horrible low- Bering of all that one wves into the day. with the attendant miseries of desola tion aad unutterable solitude as those friends walking away homeward, talk- frag of tlir life affairs, that have not been disturbed by this blast that has withered your heart forever? For the first time in his life, and just as his soul has stretehed out and tiiken root, comes to the man this dread phan tom of the possible, and he Kits his fist to heaven, and his undiscipliBed nature rebels. I called this a new view of myself. It was. Por the first time, I saw clear ly how dear my wife was to me. P or the first time. I ueeame aware of my own capacity for suffering. I remember that the nerse appeared suddenly and softly in the room, like a wraith, and, with an. uaehanged ex pression of solemnity, jerked her head, and saki, "I could see her now." To me. it was as if she had said. "All is over, wretch; not even your presence i can hurt her." I believe I rushed headlong to know the worst. The air that I brestd seemed to have crape in it. The pas-1 S'iges were dark. I stumbled, and mast have made a great deal of noise. All at once I whs in a lighted room, white curtains, white walls, snowy counter panes, aad a white face, with a new 1 pensive beaaty oa , and a new joy in it. I fell down by the bed-side, and got mv arms around her. My voraeioas I love seemed to please her. I pressed her dear face close to mine, and, m spite of me, a drop rolled down from my eye oa her cheek. As it touched her. upoa she kissed me, and said, in a thin voice, but fHtt of the deep music of joy. Yoe-rfc love me, don't you!" I doat know what I said, bat I be lieve it was half apologetic about my not knowing, and making; a mistake. But now, that there was a buoy, of I coarse She interrupted me. "There alwa-vs ( was." said she. "Always was?" I repeated. "Yes; how there's two of 'em." I saw something very red, with a frizzly head. That was one. "Two? You don't so. Wfaereis the other?" "Here," said she, pairing me down with one arm, and kissing, me again oa the cheek. That squeeze pressed the last vestige L of the brute out of me. The greatest lesson of fife eomes to us through a woman. For even maternity ioaches-the bord ers of morality ; aad we firstlearn from her that the greatest duties onlv bear blessings when thesr are watered with sn&ering'.

One of the first things I discovered now was, that a babv is a bridge. tt -t,,! - .- ..n. it had been surrouadedbv'aa imnassaMe' ranr -rmr r.n,ii-r- nlf.! chasm, i had two sets of relations in the worle. and I believe they had come t and s?owled across at 'rae and mine. - C?w w- -- -'." . - .w urn re, 2Tow. to my amazement, I found that the little pink creature I had at tome, could stretch its tiny arms across, and that mothers-in-law and aunts could walk over on them. I forgot to say that it was a girL There was no evidence ef the fact to my senses, but I accepted the word of experts. When, a baby comes into such a household, it draws off about one-third of the mother's consideration. The first one to notice it is the father. Consequently, one of the immediate results of a babv is a sort of 'nhnmw jealousy, of which heis heirtily asham ed and. tries to hide,but which his wife unerringly detects, and, good-natrrredly, forgives. It's so natural, she says, f or one baby to be jealous of another. "StilL it is impossible to hate rr. I tried my best, for a long- time, to despise-rr. I endeavored to believe rr broke my rest. That rr exacted too much attention. That rr was a nuis ance. And I tried to dream at night of boardimrrr out in the country, where there were fine cows and wet nurses on the thousand hills, and no diphtheria. But, instead, I dreamed that somebody was pelting me with ripe, warm peach es, out of the sun, and woke up to find its fists in my face! I think rr reigued a year or so. Then rr began to change into she. I first noticed this in a strong tendency to nurse the brass-headed poker, and to puttheprayerbook to bed in the cradle, or my cigar box. Further evidence was f arnished by the discovery of a j growing couhoence between mother and daughter, upon matters of which I was profoundly ignorant. Being mys terious, I knew she must be a girl. Xow let rae run rapidly over the I events of the next fifteen years, foe I am chiefty anxious to show you how love, to put it pL-unlr. brines a man. first under subjection by means of self ishness, and how marriage stamps it all oat of him. He first wies a womaa. Then she and circumstances compter him. One of the early ami peculiar amusements of the married pair is to sot hex up ami trace out themselves in the picture. Father aad mother usually get mixed up in the most absurd manner, in tbe young veins. First a drop of brute, then a eorpescle of angeL Eyebrows him to a hair: tips of eais hers. "Torn her left toe in like you do, my dear, and then that lock on the right temple" The fun of it is, nobody else can see these things at aH. For the goodness of cofmabtality presents to her votaries a magic pair of pectacies, warranted to see ourselves j as no others see us. Well, I spent fifteen years ia assid uously winding myself about that girL She way mv pupa, rav companion, my alter an. She got so she could uiwter-i stand me before I spoke. la her were t the fenlstrone points of my character. alrsfsewdv- sharpened, -reSd by tbe mother's imlnesce. A man eau do a great deal of wind ing in fifteen years. He thiofcs bet fastens his jaws securely when, spider- akp, he enmeshes thi golden eoeoon. But one day it bcrste open, and something dies away. It takes ymxr whole fifteen, years with it like a week. There is no use guarding your sanc tuary night and day. Eternal vigilance is only the price of liberty. When, yoa have sentineled. locked, barricaded, valkd up the jewel, somebodT who never spent ten min utes in guardimr it, who has no knowl edee of its priceless value, who is ut terly unlike it in every repeet, wilt eome like a eoMjweror, sad saateh it from you. Then, when you rfee in yoar wrath, you will find that all the bands of fifteen years are on your own limbs. All you huve dose to keep yottr angel near your heart; is Ut give it wings. And its mother will look at you de murely, and tell you that aH the grand protesting soirit is What? Selfishness. And that woman cesses to he babies when they cease to be infants. In short, to be a man, you must let somebody eke have bis way. A man has to go all through these crises in order to learn the moral lesson of life. A woman carries the divine tablets in her system She knows at twelve, that she is set apart to bear and forbear. If she is a thoroughbred woman, she dees both to the end with a smile on nr fee, that does not leave her even when we have lakl her out, bat which jocks even the ehisei of death, with a beauty that belongs not to life so meb as to imreortalicy. One day a dapper fellow came to me and formally asked periaisssoa to rob me. The thief had the effrontery to look rae squarely in the faee. He had taken a hasty inventory of my riches, he said, and had found them worth carrying; off. Tow mark what a change it wrought in a man by sixteen or eighteen years of Hrarriedaess. ImUgnatioa was geeth- ins in mv soul. Bat I was now a nu-!

The preparations for the event that was to have as stranded forever went on, with a sort- of presBatase chime of marriage bells. As for me, I felt myself to be a super Buous okl nuisance. My own daughter now bad moments moesests? Hours when my presence would have been an impertinence. He who had never contributed one thought to the erec- tion of this temple took sole possession I of it, and he proposed to pet hie sign aeross its fair portico. Well, the time came. One morning the thing- was done. A coach drove up. I stood in the hall and saw him plunder me. I took mv accumulated wealth! i down the front steps the test Sash of my jewel reached me. jest before he shimmed the carriage door.

There is a difference in breeds; some laying, better than others at any time of the year, and winte There is Kttle difficulty in. ob- others, asain. will give their eggs in tainin eggs in. summer, but the winter eggs must be worked forandthe fowls managed beforehand. Hens that have laid well during: the summer can not be depended upon for late fall or early winter, even if well fed, bur will gen- ierallv commence in January and keep it up throughout February and llarch, givins a good supply of eggs if not too old. But it is better not to allow such brds to c into the winter, iney are geseranv fat, after having: finished the annual moult, and should be killed for the table. After the second annual moult hens are apt to become egg bound, espeetaiiv if well fed and fat. The excess of fat that accumulates about thelower intestines and ovaries weakens these organs and renders them incapable of performing their offices. Hence the fowl suffsrs and beeomes profitless. When left too long ithe bird becomes fevensa and the flesh is unfit for food. The better way is to avoid thisjcrouble. since there is no cure, by not allowing- the birds to go into the second winter. Trouble of this kind seldom occurs with pullets or young hens. To obtain a supply of winter eggs, we must have the chicks out in March or ApriL Leghorns and some of the smaller breeds will do in growth. The Asiatics are generally good layers in winter, and need less artificial heat, as nature has not f ur- mashed them with any ornamental ap pendages which saner by exposure to frost. w For them it is not necessary to spend large sums in. warm build ings. What they can dispense with in this resoect they demand in feed. which mast be given regularly. The feed must be kept up aad varied with animal and vegetable met. me sp- ( ply of water mnst never faiL We must feed and feed a long time before the g-s will come. Any breed of hens wJl constate an enormous quantity o f eed before commencing to lay, but af tar having once began they will not require, or even take so much, grain. When laving their great craving is for vegetable and aatmul substances. crashed emm or oyster shells. Fowls that are regularly trained have certain portions of the day for their different feeds. ily birds require their shells at night, as well as their greens and their grain in the moHung. f and always fresh water. When one has the time and convenience, and enjoys the petting of fowls, making warm stews on vary eokl days is an admirable plan, and the birds refish them Hiarvdoucly. Take beef or pork scraps and pat mto aa otc. Kettle, baring them previously ehopped fine, aad fill it half full of water. While stewing throw in a. dozen chopped onions, two doaea cayenne peppers and tbe davs coffee and ten grounds. Thicken the mixture with corn meal. and serve it around among the hens hot. They relish it amazingly when on- taught to eat k, and will look for the ration dairv at the certain time. On eokl winter days give this feed be- twees. 2 and 3 o'clecs: in the afternoon, and the chicks get their crops warmed for the coming cold at night.

Where ae has the conven rcnee it is well to keen both kinds, in order to insure a supply of egg3. It is useless to expect many eggs from old fowls of any varietv.

A bear dis covers a hornets nest far out on, a limb too small to. bear bis weight or . high up oa the breast of a rock. If the former, he climbs the tree, breaks off the longest branch he can get, and holding it in his fore paw3 thrashes the nest until it drops to the ground. Sometimes he dances or stamps on the limb until the nest te shakes, off. If the nest is on a rock, the bear goes up to tbe top of the ledge above it. Then he gathers large stones and pieces of wood and rolls them dawn the side of the rock until one strikes the nest and sends it tumbling to the armed below. The hornets seem, to know what has caused their ruin, and not one of them, deserts the fallen nest, but all seem. to await the appearance of the bear. when they attack Mm at once.

Dr. (Tmraberhaa. who took the first prize for Blount's Com. offered by the Rural, raised at the rate of ISO bushels per acre on a plot of 33 feet square.

Since to ascertain that we may greatly increase the yield of our crops only as the cost of production is in creased is of no practical value to tbe farmer; we must ask. are there simpler, less expensive methods by which we may increase them?
