" I ehall say bo more; you may take your own way, all of you. I sliall never interfere with you again, for good or bad, so good-bye to you l" and Aunt Paulett hobblHl off on her ebony crutch like the offended old fairy god mother. The family looked at one another with blank faces as the door clapped smaitly after her. Aunt Paulett was a woman of her word, and if he said the would go back to her husband's people, go she would nndoub edly, and then, what would be come of thorn all ? From that day twenty year? ago when 6he, a childless widow, entered her fcisterV scarablin out-at-elbowa household, to yesterday evening, she had ruled them all with a rod of iron, by the might of a strong will and a long purse.

There was an appalled silence, broken only by the sound of the old lady's crutcu tapping off into the distanca. Mr. Hilton retired behind his news paper with the air of' a man who had much to say on the subject presently. Mrs. Hilton sniffed feebly onber sofa. The smallest Hilton but one sat under the table sucking his thumb, aud vaguely conscious of evil to come,' prepared for a wail. Ia a distant win dow Dora wept and wept impervious to , all her Cornelius's vigorous whispers of consolaiion. , Pierce had withdrawn discreetly when the storm broae, through the window into the garden, where he was seen walking up and down in dismayel meditation ; atd Jack, surreptitiously shaking his fist at the unconscious back of his would be brother in-law, followed nerce. Meanwhile, up the staircase and down the corridor went Aunt Ara belli briskly enough desoite her lame ness and her eighty years. She had two mue rooms m a remote coiner of the house sacred from the intrusion of the most audacious of Hiltons. She en tered the first of them, where a pale, maek young femi.i3 sat dewing. .

" Tes, my lady," and while Parker hurried off to rummage out her mis tress' long-forgotten traveling equip ments Lady Paulett, in her neat old fashioned hand, indited two short notes, addressed the on to Mrs. George Paulett, Eastholm Ball, Wilmington, Yorkshire;" the other to "R. J. Black ett, Esq., Lincoln's Inn, London." She had finished before Parker reap peared, and after sitting thinking for a few moments, drew from her desk a folded paper. It was headed " Memo randa for my will, 1869," and contained sundry notes, over which she pondered. " There are the letters, Parker. Let them go at once but first bring me my dressing-case aud jewel-case. They shall havo what I have bequeathed to taemnow, before 1 go. ill make no difference, and then I've done with them all forever ungratefnl eetl ' Parker placed a gorgeous inlaid dressing-case and a massive brass-bound coffer before her mistress and departed. Lady Paulett drew the latter to her with some difficulty. " It is time an old woman like me should be rid of some , of these burdens," she Baid, smiling grimly as she turned the key and disclosed case upon case of mo -rocco and velvet snugly stowed away, She turned them out and laid them all open before her a brave 6how in the bright fire and candle light.

" I had ju3t begun to.think that after all I might be going to have some hap piness in this world when he was taken from me. Sir Josiah never seemed to care for anj thing but his business after that.

She began with nervous impatience to open and close some of the cases al most at random. ,r I would have put them away forever, long, long ago, and been a faithful nurse to my husband, if he would have let me, all through those last, long, weary years of his life; but he never loved me well enough to wish for me he cared more for his old i onsekeeper.

From a governing .aspect the Biloch is infinitely to be preferred to the Afghan. Though physically inferior in bulk and weight of body, he is the Afghan's equal in courage and hit superior in endurance and intelligence. One especially good trait in his charac ter is that he never sulks or bears malice long, whereas the Afghan does botlu Here are illustrations in point. I never remember having an Afghan whipped in jail without the fellow showing by his sullen looks and scowl ing face that he tore the Strieker, if cot myself, a grudge for it Bat here, in the Derah Unazi Khan jau the punish ment over, the Biloch is as frank and ?leasant as he was before. One man, remember, who was a bad charac ter, would not work. He was warned that he would be whipped. He merely laughed, and said: "That won't make any difference, sahib." He was shown a man being whipped; he only looked grave. Finally, he was whipped himself. He was taken out ot his cell, tripped naked, tied wrists and ankles to the tri angle, and given twenty or thirty I forget the exact number strokes with a ratao. Daring the operation he bit at the wood, bit almost through his tongue, but never either groaned or winced. The punishment over, be threw himself on tho ground en his face, when tho usual skin of cold water was dashed over him, and then the commiserating water-carrier stood upon the beaten parts to deaden the pain. Still be would not work. I saw him a day or two after in his cell, looking happy a&d un concerned, though he still must have been very sore, and for days would not be able to sit down. He was pleased to see me. He seemed to have an idea that not being in jail for any specific and proved offense, it was not right to give him hard labor, and so put him on the level of a convicted felon. I re monstrated with him tor his obstinacy, to no effect. One day I observed his splendid curls chining with oil or ghee. I asked how he had got it. He had saved it from his food, was the answer. I cut his ghee; still no effect.

At first there was what seemed to bo an enormous hoop-skirs lying on a truck. Attached to the truck were cranks and levers, with fire men at hand to work them. In a few minutes the ocntrivanoa was elevated to height ot sixty or seventy feet from the body of the track, on which it then stood like the skeleton of a lighthouse. In the center, and running tho full beightb. was a tubular iron pole, which could be extended or contracted cn the telescope principle. This carried tho other parts up with it, as the cranks for raising it were turned.

It was curious to see the strange thing lean over from t, strait Kt thn ton noor oi a duiiuluk, and receive a man who crawled out and -t.an.i.l hv it. and then straighten itself up again. The action seemed use that of an Anormous serpent.

Peo ple of more moderate meana pride themselves on live geese foather beia and so on down to cheap hen and tarkey feather. whicU are but little better for retting the weary back and shoulders than "the soft siJe of a plank," or. what is its equivalent in the estimation of peoplo cf festher bed proclivities, tho modern mattress To country people tha feather bed is not merely a luxury bat a necessity; for though, iu city houses, warmed thxoagb out with furnace heat, they do not b aolotely need it. It is still impoamblo f.T any (except the most robust people), who sleep in cold rooms in winter, to keep comfortable? daring lb.se arctic months without the elastic feather bed that carls about the ahoulders and flu into thoae unwelcome hollows which that saucy vagrant, Time, delights to chi'cl when he has once obtained the mastery over youth and plumpness and rounded grace. And this some wl at lent thy preamble brings to us the main point ot this arti cle, which is to ur.ro upon farmers acd ponltry fancier generally the keeping ot dacks and geese, which shall cot onlv furnish a dainty roast for the family or the market, but will yield their worth yearly in feathers for your own uso or tor ssle. ueese leathers al ways, command a haudome snra (toy whore from sixty cenU t. a dollar kt pound) and duck feathcra arj little, it any. inferior.

The European method of keeping a young boy or gitl to look alter the flock in its wanderings might properly be adopted here. It need not be such an unintellectual pursuit here it is iu moit foreign ooauiriee, for books and the ability to read them are within the reach of all American chil dren: and more or lees study while look - . - . a ing after theao noisy broods might be accomplished.

First, the broke o ends of the levee are protected from farther denudation by braoins ot lacab.T aud covering of tarpaulin, and, when the nature of the ground will permit I', a row of aUkei is driven ouuide tie levee to prevent driflwood from wohing through and Ir.mlfting the work. Then, starting from poiats twrutv or thirty feet from the treak, so as to allow for accidents, four rows cf piles mode from the jols'e are driven firmly into the eoil These rows do not project directly ocrss the crevasse, but at an tngle f t forty-five degree from the inner side of the levee. Between tho first and second row, and betweeu tho third and fourth, the distance it about three feet, whiie from the see cud to the third row is aix feet. The piles themselves are driven thtoe feet apart, asd as last as driven are firmly braced together by boards spiked ... a a on latt&rauv ana aiaiouaiiy so aa io strengthen them as much as poia bl. hile loose boards laid npo tbe braces serve as platforms ou which the men stand while at work. In this manner they feel their way along until the outer ends of the two cribs are within ten feet of each other, when the line is driven straight acroaa and the two are connected together. All this time great care u taken to allow freo passage for the water be tween the atakea, aad to disturb the bottom as little oa poaaible; neverthe less, it often happen that the treach erous toil give way and a big section ot the crib goe tailing eff into the field. Io time, however, the cireum vallatiou it completed and holl firm, aad the proceaa ot filling ia begiaa. First.tbe ipace bet weea tbe nrttaadeec ood row of ttakts ia filled with arm fals of loose hay that it carefully mat ted together an 1 weightol down with tat of earth. Through this the water leaks as through a sieve, but the rush cf the current is atorpeJ- Next, the broader sace between the eex&4 and third row is packed solid with bags filled with earth, and rammed down till not a drop of water can ocze through. Fiaallv. looae earth it boveled and rammed upon the rear, until not only is tbe third compartment filled, but the bank elopes back fully ten feet beyond the inner row of pilee; atd not until thm is the work declared safe and tbe creratte cosqucred.
