. A geologist once travelling jn a stage) coach
in England, happened to sit opposite to a' lady;
glances were exchanged and mutual , admiration
seemed to be the result. Eve language was soon
exchanged for verbal conversation ; after ja- few
interchanges about fossils and petrifications, they
began to talt about living subjects froniTtho
third person plural to the : first person singular.
Said the gentleman : : f l am still . unmarried
quoth the lady, "So am I j". said the former, "I
have sometimes thought of marrying;" the latter
responded, "So have I." - Thdn a pause ensued.
"Suppose," said5 the r gentleman, we i were to
marry one another I would love and cherish ;"
said the fair one, "would honor and obey.-'
In two days : they were married.' ' i K
It is ottan said suitors never take ' no foft an
answer. ' i he tollowmg story seems to verify
the statement : - '
An Irish gentleman made overtures to a rich
widow, who, conceiving a violent antipathy to
ward him, his suit was rejected.
persistent swain, no was no answer. To escape
his persecutions, the lady was compelled to flv to
England; but her lover soon discovered her at
Bath, and- became as assiduous as - ever.i i At
Cheltenham she was besieged in a like manner,
and; at length she sought refuge in I Brighton.
She had been but a few days on the Stcyne,
wnen sne oDserrea her obvious .tormentor pass
uer i winaow. uo nodded to! her with the
familiarity of an old acquaintance. I Resolved
upon a desperate remedy,. the lady sent her ser
vant that he would favor her with au! interview.
He came, and as soon as they were alone she

jThis she deemed conclusive : (but not so with
the lover; with admirable coolness be knelt be

kissed it also, exclaiming, '-by virtue of my oath,
madam, I was never certain of you uutu this

My Dear Girl ' I propose to talk to you ia
this letter on housekeeping, and tnatters in gen
eral. :ilow much easier land ji less idistateful
household daties might be made if they were
entered into more heartily I : I
.To see a joang girl washing dishes, dressing
Tegetablesl, sweeping and dusting1, with the ends
ot liflr hnger and disgust marked upon every
ieature, ooes not gire one an agreea Die impres
sion pi either her temper -or good sense, i do
not deny- that there is much in domestic work
that .s far; from agreeable, bat so - there is in
everi' dephrtment of labor. Therefore it be
comes the part of wisdom to study j dispatch,
iieatness, energy, and cheerfulness, also the very
pest nreinou oi periormiDg tnese uuiies. f i ej
AI1 labor is performed with much better grace
with Borne definite object in view ri If you do it
for love's sake, to lighten the load for a patient
moth sr, or! to save the expense of arT aditional
serva it to an already , oiver-bnrdened "father-
this i iight make you sin!g while iyou work- D'
you'y re 'hijrryiiig through the morning duties;
to gel' time tor study, music, drawing, recrea
tiou, or to earn ; somethiiig towards some long
cherhhed plan this will give alacrity; to your
step and courage, to your heart. ' f ":
If you will study system, order, punctuality
in your household arruugements,jyou, tnay save
much time, strength and worry. ' jAs far as pos
sible certain days should be allot tt-d to certain
duties, fiuch as cleaning paint and cupboards,
brighienind the silver and glass, sorting and
meuding the lines; &c. Au abundance of hol
ders,' both for ironing aud handling kettles and
cookirg utensils, will save time aud your hands.
A ; mitten pnade of stoat woolen cloth kept
hanging by the fire is invaluable, if you care to
keep vour hands comfortable. A' sensible girl
will not hesitate to put her hands to anything
that may be needed, yet jshe. is right to try to
preserve their , beauty aud neatness. A little
lndiari mealj rubbed upon the hands when wash
ing with the aid of a nail brush,' will dj much
towards keeping them nice.
Fanners' j daughters are expected to under
stand housekeeping, but sometimes a barren life
of toil beget! in them a disgust, which jleada to
extreme carelessness and indifference ia the
nicer ;)arts of home daties. ; i j :
Berarc of this I pray yoa: Study grace and
beauty in the folds of a cuftain, thts arraagement
of a tible, the position of a chair-i the' J amount
of ligHt and 'shade to give1 tho right efft ct to all.
Take the prettiest way of doing things, and you
will sown discover ia charm in toil and the effect
on your own! nature will be ennobling, i Do not
beruds:e fivb minutes to fir ini a dish with green
leaves upon ! the dinner table,- not forgetting to
twist a spray of flowers or ileaves amid tte dark
ir cold of vour hair ! Somebody's eve will

Crossing of Distlnjjt . Breeds, ofknimals.
We see it sugxestedl in one of our exchanses.
that a mixture of the " Berkshire and White
Chester hog would make a capital cross. V A dis
position, seems to be general whenever a farmer
procures a fine animal, whether of swine, poul
try, sheep, or neat cattle, to try the effects of a
cross. jThe stock is admitted to be good, but
like the man who was well, took physic and died,
the owner is not satisfied, biit wants better ; the
consequence is, he gets Worse. We believe the
prominent idea with many is this improvement
of distinct breeds by crossing; but,' in our opin
ion, it is'all wrong, and the effect will be to es
tablish a race of mongrels of uncertain type and
u ureliable proge ay. "4Vi..?v "t'-

Tha Value of Clover Land for a 7hcat Crop,
In the journal of the Royal Agricultural So--
cicty of England (oTlSCD-arc reports of experi
ments to test the peculiar influence or tho red
clover crop on the subsequent growth of wheat,'
upon which Professor Voclckcr remarks, that tho
heaviest crops of clover removed from tho soil ap
pears t a render it more capable of yielding a good
crop of .wheat that tho addition of even power--
tul Palme manures (super phosphate of lime,'
mixed alkalies,4 &,o. seems hardly to iniprovotho
subsequent wheaf, crop. 'It is a fact adds tho
Professor, 'that alter a heavy crop ol clover
carried off as hay, tho land, far from being' lesa
fertile than before, is peculiarly well adapted,
even without' tho addition of manure, to bear a
good crop of wheat the lollowingycar, provided
the seasou be favorable to its growth. .
Clover mown twice leaves the land in a better
condition, as regarding its wheat providing carvt-bilitie-
thati i when mown once only forhayaud,
the'second crop fed off the land by sheep. It
is supposed from tho results of experiments given
that the land whereon clover has been grown for
seed the preceding year yield a still better Crop
than when the crop is mown twice for hay, or
mown once and afterwards : fed off by sheep.
The results of the rrofepsor's investigations aro
thus summed up: First During tho growth'
of clover a largo amount, of Nitrogenous matter
accumulates in the soil. Second This accum
ulation, which is the greatest in tho surface soil,
ia Cne to decaying leaves - dropped during' tho
growth of clover, and to an abundance of root'
containing, when dry, from one and threo-quar--tars
of two per cent., pf nitrogen. Third Tho
clover, roots nre stronger and more numerous,
and more leaves fall to the ground whereon clo
ver has been grown for 6ced tha preceding '
year, than when the clover is mown twice for
liny," or when mown and afterwards fed off by .
sheep. In the latter cae tho development of
clover roots is checked, and the Consequent loss
of fertilization is not sufficiently counterbalanced
by the excrements of tho . sheep on tho land.
Another .deduct ion is thus jriven :' 'Clover not
only "provides' abundance of nitrogenous food,
but delivers this food in rotdily Available forth
(as nitrates) more gradually and continuously,
and consequently with more certainty of a god
result than such food cm ba applied to tho land
in a shape of uitrogenous spring top-dressings."
The Juggling of an Avaricious .Wife.
The New York Sun is responsible for tho fol
lowing story : Three weeks ago a well dressed
woman arrived in, this city via the Hudson Itiv- -cr
Jiailroad. There waa apparently nothing
wrong about her. She was modest in demeanor
and of a tacitnrn difpVsition. For two daya tho
stopped at the Metroplitan Hotel, and then went
to 150 Kust Twenty third street to board. On
Saturday last she went to Europe in the fdcanicr
City of Washington. She give her numo as
Mrs- Iloofling; snid that she had separated front
her husband, and that an equal division of pro
perty had been uiade . before the Reparation.
Her share hho said amounted to a trifio over
520,000 and she exhibited Government bonds
and bills to that amount in support of her asser
tion. When asked "why she defcircd to visit
Kuropc, she replied ; . j . - "
' 'I wish to live alone. I shall never marry
again. "'The interest of the money in my pscs- ,

, Tt now appears that Mrs. Ilocfling was tho
wife, of 31 r. Fredrick Hocfling of Quincy, 111.
Mr. Ifefliitg kept a jewelry shop on Hampahiro
street in t hat city for some years, and amassed i'
quite a fortune. Throngh the advico of some
Iriend, he resolved to Sell out his business, and ,
seek a better field for operations in California.
This was done. On closing up his accounts Mr. -I
lot fling cleared about 818,000. Having great
confidence in his wife he gave her $4,000 with,
which to come to this city and buy a stock of
jewelry to furnish the California store. Mr.
Hocfling was to use the remaining $14,000 in
purchasing a place of business in the far West.
At his- reqneat, bis- wife made him a belt' in
which to keep his money. The wife suggested
that for greater security i he money should bo
sewed up in the belt. Mr.- Hocfling banded
her the money. She walked into another room
forthread nnd ne?dte, and nn returning handed
him the belt.' The money lay in a lump within
it, apparently perfectly secure. ' . , . . ' :
' ira. ILxjlling in due tirno left Quiney fov
New .York, to lay in a stock its arranged; whilo
her huabind, with the $14,000 seenrft, ss ha
supposed,' in iU belt; departed Tor California,
There he arrived in safety, and - commenced are
r.ingeucnta for startbg business on a largo scale,
only awaiting tidings' from his wife, and Ihei
New York purchases to conclude 'operations.5
The anticipated tidings snd tho expected pur
ehascs never came. .Expectation became anxie
ty grew iub alarm. . ' .
The JooMe cash be had about him being ex-
hausted, he had h?conre to his belft ' Tho belt '
was opened, and instead of bank qotea bo found
only blank paper not a cent of the $14,000.
The wif had successfully tricked him, and ia
now in Europe. The husband, broken-hearted!
baa made nj effort to find her. ;
In 1 COO tb5 ladres were addicted to wearing
false hair, hut not in the shape of chignons. A
poet sought to convert them from the foolishness
uf their ways by addressing them in tho follow
ing vigorous stanza :
"Art. thou, a Christian, O then wby dost wear.
Upon the sacred head the filthy hair
Of some vile wretch, by foul disease that fell, ,
Whose sou,!, perhaps, ia burning now. in bell?'
