Jhtt I didn't love i.i in. I was beveti years his senior; when, instead of letting the worm of cc-iH ca.iiR-nt tirey on his d.intiisii cheek, he ventured to tea his iove lor my inaturu self. 1 remorselessly sci.cd an English i.rayer-liook, ami iiointed aternly to ttie clause, "A man may not marry his grandmother." That was three years ago Uii-.l I added, encouragingly, "besides, John, you i.rt? a child and don't know, yo,ir own i iind." 'if ii niati of 19 doesa't know his mind'' remonstrated my lover, "I would like to ki:o-.v who t-ltould. liat I will wait for you s-'veti years, if you say bo fourteen as Jacoh l for lluchael." 'You fi rgi't," I replied, laughing at his way of metiuing matters, "that a woman d-es not, like wine, improve with age. IJut, sei'.ously, John, this is absurd; you ate a n'wi boy, and I like you but my f-.eiiiig.s tovw.rd you are more those of a mother than a wife." The 1 oy's eyes Hashed indignantly ; and before 1 could divine his intention he had lifted me from the sjxt where I stood, and cairi d me infaiit-f i-hion, to the sofa, at tha other end -f the room. I could aim t had it iu my heart to shake you !"' he muttered, as he set me down with emphasis. This was iaih r like the courtship of YVi.iiam of Normandy, and matters prom ied to be ipiite exciting. "iKm't (in that again," said I w ith dig nity, when I recovered my breath. "W'iil you marry mef asked John Boinexvli.it threateningly. "Not just at present,'' I replied. '"The groat handsome fellow," I thought as he patrol tho iloor listlessly, "why couldn't he fall in love with some girl of 13, insdeud of setting his affection, on an old maid like mol I don't want the boy on my hands, and won t have him." "As to your being Ci,"' persucd John, in answer t my thong, its, "you say it- down in the family li;iic, a. id I stip;iosj it must be so; but no c ti : wt'itld believe it; and 1 don't care if you're -10. You look like a girl of 1G, atid you are the only woman 1 shall ever love." )!l, .loi.ll. Jilhll I lit ietlst live mi'!"T!s of men have paid the fc.ime thing before in every known language. Nevertheless, whin vou fairlv break down ar.d cry, I relent for I am uisgtacefuily soft-hearted and weakly promise then ami there that I will either keep my own name or hike vottis." For love is a xerv d"g in lm manger, and John looked radiant at this eonee-sion. It vvtts a comfort- to know that if he could not gather the low er hiniseif, no one else would. A sort of family shipwr -ck had wafted John t my threshold. Our own house hold was sadly broken t;-', and I found myself comparatively j;ti..ig in years, with a half-invalid father, u large house, and very little money. "What more natur al than to take boarders? And among the first were Mr. (.'ran ford and hts son, and M'ster, who had just been wrecked themselves by the death of the wife and mother in a foreign land one of those sudden, unexpected death?, that leave the survivors in a dazed condition, because it is so dillicult to imagine the gay world ling who has been called hence in another state of being. Mr. Cranford was one of my admira tions from tho first. Tall, pale, with dark hair and eyes, he reminded me of Dante, only that he was handsomer; and he had such ii g.-neral air of knowing everything worth knowing (without the least pedant ry, however,) that 1 was quite afraid of him, lie was evidently wrapped up in John, and patient with his sister which was asking quite enough of Christian charity uniter the tho sun, for Mrs. Shell grove was an unmitigated nuisance. Such a talker! babbling of her own and her brother's alFairs with equal indiscretion, and treating the latter as though he were an incapalne infant. They stayed with us for three ycars,and during that time I was fairly persecuted aliout John. Mrs. bhellgrove wrote me a letter on the subject, in which she inform ed me that the w hole family were ready to receive ma with open arms a prospect that I did not find at all alluring. '1 hey seemed to have their hearts set upon me as a person peculiarly hticd to train John iu the way he should go. Everything, I w tu toId,deicuikd on nis getting the right kind of a wile. A special interview with Mr. Cranford, at his particular request, touched me con siderably. "1 hope," said he "that you will not refuse ray boy, Miss Edna, lie has set his heart so fully upon you, and you areeverything liter. I vvt some one to 1 icci s.t-i. . v louely times, and 1 sun sure t.i.u you woitia just lill the vtifunt niciie." I drew my hand away from Lis caress and almost fi it like hiuijg Jim t r..n ford. Life with him would ba one of ease and luxury ; but I decided that 1 had rather keep boarders. Not long after this the Cranfords con cluded to go to housekeeping, and Mrs. Shellgrove was in her glory. She always came to luncheon now in her bonnet, aud gave us minute details of all that had been done and talked of about the houso in the last twenty-four hours. "It is really 'magnificent," said she, lengthening out each sylable. "Brother has such perfect taste. And he is actu ally furnishing the library, Miss Edna, after your suggestion. You see, we look upon you quite as one of the family.'' "That is very good of you," 1 replied, shortly; "but 1 certainly have no expec tatiou of ever belonging to it." Mrs. bhellgrove laughed as though I had perpetrated an excellent joke. "Young ladies always deny these things, of course; but John teils adher ent story. I rattled the cups and stiuc -is angrily; and my thoughts lioat.-d otf l.ot to did. v., but to John's father, sitthtg ionciy i:i tli.r library fuinisiied aft .r my siiyg. stion. "N'asn t it, altor ah, my du.y to nia.ry tne family generally? The house was finished and moved into and John spent his evenings with me. I used to get dreadfully tired of him. lie was really too devoted to be at all interest ing, and I had reach.'d that state of feel ing which, if summarily ordered to take my choice between him and the gallows, I would have prepared mysdf for hanging with a sort of cheerful alacrity. I locked the door upon .;o.m on ttic ev ening in question, when 1 had iinaiiy :; t ten lid of him, with the. e f .-.'ti:i ;s hi ftiii tone; till I 1 ltw'ii.iled while itn.Lessing ou some iie.-i)ei ale muve that would btittg" lyatU-ts to a ( tis is. But tho boy had become nr.; 1 at lr,:-t. lie, too, had rehVchd iti the watches of the night; an 1 next day I received quite a dignified lett.-r from him, telling me that ln'ediifss railed him from the- citv i-r two or three weeks, and that po.-ihly on his re turn I might i.pinec'tU" his devotion bet ter. Ifett inexpressibly relieved. It ap peared t. me the most sensible move that John had made in the whole course ofo.tr acquaintance, nn I beg.m to bro.it.it! with more freedom. Time Hew, however, ami th thre; weeks lengthened to six without JohnV re turn. He Wrote to me, but his it tteis be came somewhat constrained: and 1 scarce ly knew what to make of him. If he would only give me up, I thought; but I feit sure'th it he would h id me to that weak promise of mine, that 1 should either become Edna Cruuford cr remain Edna Cnrrington. 'Mr. Cranfotd" was announced one ev ening, and I entered the parlor fully pre pared for an overdose of John, but found myself confronted by his father. lie looked very giave, and instantly I imagined all f.orts of tilings, and ro proaehed myself for my coldness. "John is welif" 1 gasped, finally. "(Juito well," was the reply, in such kind loues that I felt sure there was some thing wrong. XYhatitwas I cared not, but poured forth my feelings impetuously to my as tonished visitor. "lie must not come here again'." I cx claimed. "I do not wish to see him. Tell nim so, Mr. Cranford: tell him that 1 had rather remain Edna Carringtoii as he mad'.! in ? promise, than to becoma Edna Cranford." "And he made you promise this.-" was the reply. "The sedisii iVI.o.v ! But, Ed na, what am 1 to do without the littiegiil I have been expecting? I am very loiieiy so lonely that 1 do not see how 1 can give her up." I glanced at him, and the room seemed swimming round everything was dread fully unreal. I tried to sit down, and was carried tenderly to the sofa. "Shall it be Edna Cturington, or Edna Cranford.'" he whispered. "You need uot I reak your promise to John." "Edna Cranford," 1 replied, feeling that Iliad left lite world entirely, and was in another sphere of cxi-deace. If the thought cro.s-.-e I 1113' mind that Mr. CYuufoid iia 1 rattier chacri'uiiy sup pittnted his son, the pt o -coding w tis luoy pit-tilled during the vis t wnie.i I s 'on re ceived from t.iat you.ig gentleman. I tried to make it ts.aij l ) him that 1 did him ito wrong, as I hid never professed to love lit it), though not at ail sure that I woulda't receive the hh iking threatened on a previous occasion, and 1 endeavored to be as tender as pos-.il. e, for I fe.t re ally sorry for him. 'io my great siivptis John laughed. "Well, this is joilyl" he exclaimed. "And I'm not a villain, after all. What do you think of her, Ednaf lie prod tuvd nn iv.u-ytvp'iin a rich vel vet case a pretty, little, olue-eyed sim pleton, she looked about 17.

John knew that I wasn't a bit afraid of him; but 1 felt an elder sisterly sort ot interest in his happiness, and hid never liked him so well as at that moment. And this was the dreadful news that his fa'uier had come to break to me, when hia narra tive was nipped in t.ie bud by my revela tions, and ttie interview ended in a far more satisfactory manner than either of us had anticipated. So 1 kept my promise to John after all, and as Miss Uose kept hers, he is n r.v a steady 111:111 ied man, and a very agreea ble son-in-law. Look Ahead. Every farmer who has limber, should get a few logs to the mid for drag timber, wagon tongues, and the like, says toe People's ledger. Have thenv sowed and piled under cover, so that next season, when work is crowding and a piece of seasoned timber is needed, you will know just where the desired article can be found without being obliged to sjieud the wliole day in search of it. Each farmer sliould have a chest of common tools, such as are necessary for repair work on the farm. It is much easier, if we have the materials, to repair a b.ken harrow or other uten sil, than to travel four or live miies to a bhop for the purpose ot hiring done w hat we could do just as well ourselves. Any articles that are liable to break, had bet ter be atteuil.nl to at once, and not laid aside with "I gue.-s 1 can make that last this season, welt enough." It wiil be sure ' to break w hen you are in a hurry. There I is a worlil of wisdom iu the old maxim, "Procrastination is the thief of time," and to no one is the time so precious as to the 1 farmer at the busy ecusco. that 1 could desire in a d 1870. CORRESPONDENCE. Pleasant Kidge . Notes. Ed. IIei.ald: It may seem like pre sumption in us to take up the work of Big Feet, a task that he has perform ed with such wonderful" excellence. Perhaps Big Feet may think that xve are encroaching upon his territory. But to the gentleman with bulky pe dal extremities, xve would suggest the propriety of calmly awaiting a decla ration of war. Big Feet xvith a fertil ity of imagination that astonisnes per sons of more phlegmatic tempera ments has succeeded in making the comparatively trilling occurence at the Pleasant Itidge school house, to as sume immense proportions. Once, twice, yea thrice, he has come before the public with an item of news, that at the beginning was an exceedingly trivial matter. Verily Big Feet must be suffering seriously from a dearth of news. Would that his head was larger and his feet smaller, thus preserving a more elegant proportion. Nature nev er makes nondescripts, that is, hardly ever. What disturbs our serenity at the present is this. Will Big Feet rest his fevered brain for a season, or xvill he overtask his ponderous intellect and cause a rush of blood to his heels. We await coming ovents with excru ciating anxietv. Conrad Meisinger one of our sub stantial farmers ii.dulged in the luxu ry of a dance, many xve re present, and all were made- happy. Some unknown party set out a tire that caused much damage to some of our residents, the heaviest loser is Mr. Mur ray, he having lost about seventy five tons of hav. We would suggest the enforcement of the. law controlling the putting out of fire, and thus prevent the occurrence of fires that are so ex cessively destructive. John 11. Becker's smoke-house con flagrated a short time since, with his accustomed energy Mr B. had a new building erected upon the ruins of the old xvilhin twenty four hours. Our young friend G. W. Hull has been quite il!, hope he may soon re gain his accustomed vigor. George is one of our most tin if ty and enterpris ing young fiii meis. Geese so plentiful a short time ago have almost entirely disappeared. It is thoucrht bv some that Sol. Pitcher has killed till of them, as a slayer of geese the aforesaid Sol stands xrithout a rival. A little child belonging to Mrs. Kirk -patrick was seriously scalded a few- days ago, by falling into a pail tilled with hot water. Parents cannot be too cartful in guarding against these unfortunate occurrences. F. II. Hathaway and J. M. Craig continue to be students of the Platts mouth High School. The boys are do iug very effective work. A creater acreage of corn xvill be planted in our vicinity this year than last. Many farmers have already don cunsiderable- planting.

The Nebraska Weather Service is a voluntary association f persons for the purpose of makivg systematic obser vations on the state of the w eather, and recording them for future comparison and study. Every one interested, who is willing to do the xvork required, may join the organization. The work wi.M require some time ana care, uui win well repay both. Each observer provides lnmseii wnn a rain gauge, of which two kinds are furnished; one of tin, painted, costing half a dollar, and one of galvanized iron, costing two dollars. l.ch kind will be furnished from the central of fice at wholesale cost price. Besides the rain eauge each observer will need a thermometer, which can be furnish ed from the central branch ofhee for from 50 cents to SI each, according to quality. These are all the apparatus ibsolutely necessary; but, persons who xvish to possess more elabo rate apparatus such as barometers. registering thermometors, anemome ters, etc., can ascertain prices by writ ing to the director at Lincoln. Blanks are furnished, together with full and minute instructions, by the director without charge. On these the ebser- vations xvill be recorded in duplicate. one to be riled for reference and one sent to the central office. The object of this enterprise is to ex tend our knowledge of the climate of our new State. Located as -we are rear the center of the continent, in the midst of vast prairies that rise in per ceptibly to the greai, lock)' wall that bounds them on the xvest, xve nmi our- elves under new and, to some extent, unstudied climata conditions. To stu dy these successfully xvill require Die combined efforts of many earnest men in till p nts of the state. Agricultural and horticultural ad vancement depends greatly on climatic conditions; and we may reasonably hope for ultimate pecuniary gain to the?e interests from the study of our climate. But xve do not urge this as a lcadinsr motive for engaging in this work. We rely more upon those xvho seek knowledge for its own stike. We hsire to enlist those xvho deem the profession of knoxvledge a recompense for the labor expended in obtaining it. I know there are nianv such iu this state, and xve xvouhl interest them till in this great work. Most ' persons know Si m.'tl.ing of the important work done bv the United States Signal Ser vice. While it has been of immense iienelit to science pure and simple, it has been equally useful in promoting our mateiial interests. Large amounts of properly and many lives are annu ally saved from the increased safety to our shipping, resulting from attention to the cautionary signals displayed at our ports in advance of severe storms. Nearly all heavy storms are announced several hours in advance at our hike md sea ports, and several years of careful count have shown that at least four-fifths of all these prognostications are verified. What the Signal Service is doing for the whole country, the Nebraska Vol unteer Service seeks to do 011 a more linited scale for this state. Our work being all done gratis and by those xvho take time from other employment to do it, cannot be carried on as elabo rately as the U. S. S. S., which is done under military discipline by the War Department. But xve expect to do something xvell from the start, and in crease our work xvith experience. 1 lie lnoiiirv is sometimes mtuiw whether more than one observer can be appointed at a place. The more the better, since they supplement each oth er, and one can supply omissions of others. Thus far a large part of our observ ers are located in the southeastern part of tho sttite. We ought to have one or more in every county in the State, and they are especially desirable in the extreme west and northwest. Each month, as soon as possible sif ter the reports are receiver, a condens ed summary will be piepared, and cop ies sent to each Observer. Also, cop ies xvill be sent to such newspapers as desire to publish it. When lb s enterprise was first under taken by Prof. Bailey, a hearty wel come was given it by the press of the State. We hope, now that it is revix ed, to deserve and retain the co-operation of the newspaper Fraternity. As the xv 1 iter did not take the manatre ment of the xvea her service t ill ahm : t the end of March, there lias been soiio delay in getting matters into shape, and the bulle: in for March has been deiayed. Iu the future I hope to get out the bulletin for one month early in the next. THE MONTHLY XVEATIIEi: IlCI.LETIN Fort MA IK II 187J. 1'emjierature.
