Itis not that the face is either Handsome or intellectual, but there is a strange, weird something about it which the artist seems to have caught fresh from the living face, and transferred to the canvas, and which all hie after art had failed to paintout, The picture which gave rise to these ob- servations was that of a man certainly not past middle age, dressed in the fashion of the earlier period of the reign of George ill, The | | blinds, and the carriage rattled away. | did not like his position, and began t pect that all was not right.

He was a courteous, geniai, kindly man, full of those social qualities which make a man a favor- So much I have heard. In igh spirits and plea- sant anticipations, he went on the continent fora month’s holiday. he came back at the | end of it an allered man—his genial nature clouded with an eradicable gloom. He gave up all practice, all society; bought this place, and settled here , he received no visits, paid none; he lived in his library among his books, occasionally taking Jong solitary rambles about the country. His nature did not degenerate into harshness, buta strange melancholy possessed him; ils cause was unknown, so was its cure. He turned his back upon the world, and though he was no world scorner nothing would induce him to enter it again, He was a widower—and his only son—my father—was then a boy at Harrow. You may imagine this was nota lively place for a highespirited young fellow to come home to; they saw little of each other. In due time myffather married, and { was born. Years passed, and one wintry night, when I was’about eighteen years old, we received a telegram summoning us here, We came, and were shown into the room where you slept last night. The old man, with the stamp of death upon his face, was propped up on pillows where he had lain for hours, his eyes fixed on the door, watching forns. As we entere! the room his filmy eyes brightened; his eager, outstretched hands trembied as we touched them. With the damp death dew on his brow, his voice quaking, and his whole soul shuddering as he lived over again one terrible moment of his life, he told us the story which I had te of sociely. tbe vear 1776, full of ‘ommenplace enough: | the public executioner, not by mine.’ ‘ By yours, and yours only,’ said one ol his conductors gravely. ‘There is no time to waste is.

The omin | ous stillness, the grim aspects of the terrible men, struck a chill to bisheart.

He pointed to two swarthy figures (either soldiers or livericd servants family—my grandfather could not tell which) who had been standing motionless by the couch and answered: they are be you, and afterwards dispatch her ; not professional, and their work will clumsily done. If the operation be not per- formed upon your patient before the clock strikes you know your fate; if you are ob-~ durate, rerrember you throw away your own life without saving hers. She is doomed ; no power on earth can save her.’ It was in vain to expostulate with those fiends in human form. Ue felt they were as stern and inexorable as fate. It was as cruel as horrible and cowardly. Five men assembled to witness the professional murs der of a young and beautiful woman! What had she done? whom had she offended? Some secret machinery was at work; these men were mere instruments in the hands ef a higher power—they hail owned as much; they had no personal interest in the matter. They were there to carry ont justice, they said—secretly, ii Was true; but the woman had been lawfully condemned, and the sen- tence of the law must be privately executed. The woman’s eyes were fixed upon them during the whole of the conversation, and travelled from one face to the other in hopes less agony; not a word passed her ears, and only the one despairing, changeless ex- pressicn sat like a seal upon her face. She knew there was no escape for her—none. There was only the one question to be solvs ed: Was she to die by the unwilling hand of a pitying stranger, or be killed cruelly by professional murderers? What a world of terror must have been compassed in those few moments of her lite as she lay watching better put together in may own Words.

It was near midnight, when two strangers were shown into him, who re- quested his immediate attendance in a case of great urgency. He represented that he was there on a visit of pleasure, and not for professional purposes. They were perfectly awareef that fact, they said, still, they urged him so strongly that they at last overcame his scruples, and he consented to go with them. A carriage was at the door; he got | along the center of the ceiling. | and wailing there. Theciock began to chime the quarters; it was to strike.

The white hand went out him and closed over his in a soft, forgiving clasp; the agony died out of the sweet eyes as they rested one moment in his face; then with a very low sigh she closed them and turned away her head. In another moment her young life was slowly ebbing away. He remained by her side, holding her hand in his and swatching till all was over.

Green Peas.—Have the hands and the dishes clean ‘in shelling, so that the peas need not be washed before cooking. If the pods are very nice and sweet, they may be | cooked in the water before the peas are put in; but usua!ly this does not pay. Have the | peas a little more than even full of water, and cook them twenty minutes after they begin to boil. Asthe season advances, cook them longer. Besureto have them tender, but do not cook them after they are tender. If done too soon, let them stand hot without cooking. Serve warm full of juice, and if you wish for the full benefit of the sweet pea flavor, serve Without seasoning. Much of the happiness of life depends upoy our outward demeanor. We have all ex, perienced the charm of gentle and courteous conduct ; we have all been drawn irresistibly to those who are obliging, affable, and sym- pathetic in their demeanor. The friendly | grasp, the warm welcome, the cherry tone, the encowuraging word, and respectful man- ner, bear no small share in creat.ng the joy of life; while the austere tone, the stern rebuke, the sharp and acrid remark, the coid and indifferent manner, the curt and disre- spectful air, the supercilious and scornful hearing, are responsible for more of human distress, despair and woe, than their tran- sient nature might seem to warrant. Recipe for Preserving Meat.—As warm weather has come at last, the following by a writer in the New York Times will prove both seasonable and serviceable. There is no good reason why farmers and their fami- lies shouid eat so much salt pork, leaving all the fresh meat to the inhabitants of cities and villages, when the following method will keep it fresh for weeks even in the warmest weather. [have tried it for several vears. As soon as the animal heat is out of the meat, | cooking. Prepare a | large jar by scalding it well with hot salt | and water. Mix salt and pulverized salts | petre. Cover the bottom of the jar with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Put down a layer of meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper, the same asif it was going to the tab!e, and continue in this manner until the jar is full. Folda cloth or towel and wet it in strong salt and water, in which a little of the salt- petre is dissolved, Press the cloth closely over the meat and set itin acool place. Be sure and press the cloth in tightly as each layer is removed, and your meat wil] keep for months. Then drain off all the blood that oozes from it. It will be necessary to change the cloth occasionally, or take it off and wash it first in cold water, then scald in salt and water as at first. In this way farmers can have fresh meat all the year round. I have kept beef that was killed the 12th of February till the 2lstofJune.
