Upon the terrace of the principal hotel Whitecliff, two ladies sat in conversation, un- heeding, because unaware of, a listner behind the closed blind of a window near them. Not an intentional listner, for he was deeply absorbed in the contents of a newly arrived letter, when the sound of his own name al- tracted his atiention. (ne of the pretty ma- trons were speaking : ‘I can’t imagine how such a sparkling brilliant woman as Mrs, Lancaster ever came to marry that ward Lancaster.’ * Solemn most profound scholars, Edith gentleman, too, and very wealthy. ‘ Wealthy!" repeated the first speaker. ‘I | suppose that accounts forit. See him for his money, of course. ‘And spends it most loyally.

The perfe ‘lear live complexion and crimson cheeks, the I I face st oval of gliape, the regular features and large, dark eyes, were ali in eriental style; while the masses of hair needed no artificial ad- | hapely head purple biack ion to wreathe the th navy braids.

From this scholarly seclusisn at the age of forty-five, he was wakened by a call of friend- ship, being summoned by an o}d schoolmate who besought him to become guardian of a very modest fortune he was about to leave to his only child. Obeying this summons, Ed- ward Lancaster found his friend already dead, and the orphan turning to him for cons solation. He took ber home, gave her to Mrs. Keene, his housekeeper, as he would have dope with a baby, forcare and comfort, and cetired again to study. Between his eyes and the pages of his book came ever the face of the orphan girl. He found himself sitting idly before his papers, listening fer the sound of a musical voice in the passage or garden. He neglected his studies, to count the hours between meals, when he met his ward athistabie. Never be- fore had a woman's face or voice awakened evena passing emotion in his heart, and in- terest once aroused, love crept in and took root, deep, strong, life-long. ‘There was no possibility of driving away this love, once it was admitted. Edward Lancaster knew that Edith must be won if he was ever to know happiness in this life again. if he lost herhe would live, bury himself in his books once more, but never again could the same peace he had known, be found. When he took the child—she was about sevyenteen—he loved her, she nestled in his arms, lifted her sweet face to his and pro- mised to be his wife. He never doubted her love, strange as it seemed, anu they were mar- ried within six months after Edith’s arrival to her new home. Onceshe was his own, Edward Lancaster made his wife a perfect favorite of fortune. He left his dearly beloved library to escort her to gay watering places in summer,to balls and parties in winter. He never counted the the cost of any indulgence she craved. Her dress was of the costliest description; her jeweis were the envy of her circle of friends; and she had but tonamea wishand it was granted. She was of the sunniest temperas ment ; child-like in her gratitude, and flitting from pleasure to pieasure asa jiird flies from fruits to flowers. His money Lite had been very sweet to -dward Lans caster, in the three years following his mars riage, though many wondered, seeing the grave, elderly, nan, how he caine to marry his child wife. But pacing his room in the Whitecliffs ho- tel, Edward Lancaster questioned his happi- ness as he never before questioned it. The letter he hei fast in his clenched hand, the conversation behind the porch combined to probe his heart tothe core, and the question hidden there rose to the surface. Did Edith love him ? }so devoted, so smoothed the | some of them for you”’ 1 | seen a time whena hundred a year seemed iL a ; ing 100 | some wrong | to speak.

She read it all. The light of merriment in her face soft- to catch ened to a sweet, earnest gravity, and some of the rich color faded from her cheeks. Her voice was very tender as she said, ‘I’m so You will miss your sorry for you, Edward. library, your books. Perhaps we can save ‘But you, Edith!’ he said, umazed. ‘[?

You will be ha»py in a poor home cooking and working for me?’ Edtth lifted her shining dark eyes to the noble face bending over her, and drew down her husband’s head till her his. ‘I love you—I love you!’ ‘ Love wil! make all labor light if it is for you.” There was contention in the gay circle of Edith’s friends when, the next day, she was missed from among them. Speculations were wild regarding the sudden disappear- ance of the biilliant star of society,and many were the pitying words lavished upon her when Edward Lancaster's losses were known. But the little wife neither knew of the pity nor asked for sympathy. Her%husband ac- cepted a professorship in a college, and fur- nished for her the home Edith craved. The beauty that had made Edith a star in the most brilliant circle of society, lost no- thing in her husband's eyes when it was the houselight after his days of college and work. In her quiet dresses, without glittering gems, Edith was lovely as she had ever been in her costly ball or dinner toilettes; and the little hands that could rest idly in luxury, glitter with valuable rings, and flash over the piano keys, were busy from dawn to sunset in the housework that women find ever waiting for them. Edward Lancaster was never very poor, and Edith never knew again the wants and cares of her girlhood; hut the wealth he had lost was not restored and never regret- ted. By its loss he had learned his wife's heart; deprived of thal, he found the trea- sure of happy, domestic life, and in his new duties he found the pleasure of making the knowledge he loved useful to others. The professor had been two years in his new home, when one evening, coming from the college, he found Edith sewing busily up- on a cloak for a year old boy crowing in his cradle. She held up her work for inspection. ‘My yachting dress, Edward.’ ‘ Lremember it,’ Edward answered grave~ me, love me lips touched she whispered. ‘Do you? I never wore it but once—the last day we were at Whitecliff.’ ‘ The day,’ her husband answered, ‘ when, after an hour of doubting agony, I found my wife had married me with the true love, for better for worse.’ | boiling water ove! | for three or f . mnr ment ij great improvement. / onions | being heated.

Eanry Risinc on A Fixe Morninc.—-Leigh Hunt truly observes, that life never perhaps fells with a return of fresh and young feeling upon it, as in early rising on a fine morning, whether in country or in town. The health- iness of it, the quiet, the consciousness of having done a young action, not to add a wise one, and the sense of power it gives you ever the coming day, produce a mixture of lightness and self-possession in one’s feel- ings, which a sick man must not despair of because he does not feel it the first morning.

A SHort FOR ALL WHOM IT MAY Concenn.— Owe no man anything. Keep out ofdebt. Avoid it as you would war, pestil» ence, and famine. Hate it with a perfect hatred. Abhor it with an entire and absol- ute abhorrence. Dig potatoes, break stones, peddle in tinware, do anything that is honest and useful, rather thanrunindebt. As you value, quiet, independence, keep out of debt As you value good digestion, a healthy ap- petite, a placid temper, a smooth pillow, pleasant dreams and happy wakings, keep outofdebt. Debt is the hardestof all task~ masters, the most cruel ef all oppressors. It is a millstone about the neck. It is an in- cubus on the heart. It spreadsa cloud ovei the whole firmament of man’s being. It eclipses the sun, :t blots out the stars, it dims the beautiful biue sky. It breaks up the harmony of nature, and turns to dissonance all the voices of its melody. It furrows the forehead with premature wrinkles; it plucks the eye of ils light; it drags all nobleness and kindness out of the port and bearing of a man. Jt takes the soul out of his laugh, and all staleliness and freedom from his walk Come not under its accursed dominion. SERMON Educaté the Girls.—The tenderness diss played towards our daughters in guarding them from all knowledge of the world, sup- plying their every want, and freeing thei from the necessity of exertion in self-support, is acruel kindness. In tbis country, where primogeniture is not recognized, where pro- perty is rarely entailed, where fortunes are so continually shifting hands, where the rich man of to-day may be the pooriman of tos morrow, and whiere the petted and indulged wife has before her the possibility of widow- hood and destitution, there is nothing so wrong, so unjust, so wicked, as training up women to be so dependent upon others, and of a consequence, so forlorniy helpless when their dependence fails them. Every girl, as well as every boy, should have some honest, self-supporting occupation. There may never be need of its practice on the part of the girl; but the accomplishment will be a valuable one, nevertheless, for it will give her courage to meet life, and whatever changes it may bring her ... . The long and short of the matter is that girls must be taught, as boys are taught, that it is disgracefui to look to another for that means of support which they are perfectly competent to acquire for themselves. An AnGuMENT ror Marnniace.—Powers, the sculptor, writing to a friend of what people call the folly of marrying without the means of supporting a family, expresses frankly his own fears when he found himself in this very position; but, he adds, with characteristic candor—“ To tell the truth, however, family and poverty have done more to support me than I have to support them. They hare compelled me to make exertions which | hardly thought myself capable of; and often, when on the eve of despairing, they have forced me, like a coward in a corner, to fight like a hero, not for myself, but for my wife and little ones. I have now as much work to do as I can execute, unless | find more assistance in the marble, and [ have a prospect of further commissions.” The teuth here expressed by the gifted sculp- tor is like a similar remark we heard not long since by a gentleman who tried matri- mony in the same way, and found afterwards tiat the loose change in his pocket, which he had before squandered in ‘ foolish nos tions young men’s whims, as he called them—was enough to support a prudent wife, who, by well regulated economy, has proved a fortune in herself, and had saveda snug sum of money for her once careless husband. ‘A wife to direct aman towards a proper ambition and to a general econ, omy,’ he said, was like timely succor at sea, to save him from destruction on a perilous voyage. . -. | while all the loss in her production is causs A patron of a certain newspaper once said | eq py a lack in quantity and quality of food oe ie it that wat haws movan | Coupled with a lack of comfort during the 2) toe yon ere ee | inclement seasons of the year. almost entirely helpless, during which time | she was treated by one of the ablest phy- siciaus residing in the County, and part of the time by two physicians for about a year, and still was not sensible ofany material benetit | orrelief. And after a lime she was recom- mended to a medicine at that time prepared by Mrs Gates, of Wilmot, which in an in- credibly short time acted like a charm upon her whole system, and she was entirely cured ofall her various difficulties and complainst, and remained, as she considered, a sound and healthy woman for about twenty-five years. Mrs. Robinson further states, that in the autumn of 1869, she was taken ill, and was under the doctor’s hands all winter, and in the spring ensuing she was taken wilh a most obstinant and distressiug cough, which the doctor was unable to cure. She was also afflicted with piles and othertroublesome com- plaints. atlength she resolved to apply to Dr. Caleb Gates for assistance and help, and soon found them all yielding to the power and influence of his justly celebrated medicines, and says sheis now completely cured of all thos: various difficulties, through the kind- ness of Dr, Gates, and the efficacy of his most exceilent medicine.

Give PLenry or I'aep To Cows.—It is pro- bably true that fifty per cent. of tue profit stock of this country is annually lost to their owners from want of the necessary quantity and the proper quality of food which should be given them. L. F. Allen gives experiments by Dr. Rhode Elden, of the Royal Academy of Agriculture, in Prus< sia, of the comparative yield of milk from ing, through seven years of each system. The average per cow for the whole seven years in pasturing was 1.583 quarts, while the average per cow for the seven years of stabling or soiling was 3,442 quarts. From this result it is seen that the cow is capable of producing 100 per cent. more than she) usually does, provided she is kept in the most comfortable manner, and fed with the greatest milk producing substances. She may produce but half of the above quanti. ties if not properly housed in the winter, and scantily fed during the whole year. In either case, the original cost or value of the cow is the same ; the care is about the same, Remepy For Lick IN PouLttRy:—-A corres- | pondent of the Prairie Farmer, says :—* The | to the head and neck of the chicken, and under the wings and breast of old fowls. done, is ail that is necessary.’’ Now, the lard-oil alone, or common clean lard will answer every purpose of the above mixture. {tis the lard or oil stopping the breath ly, and the sassafras has nothing to do with Some writers have :ecom« mended sulphur and lard for the same pur- poses but the lard alone will do'the work every time,‘and chickens are spared the risk of taking cold and being otherwise injuri- ously affected by the use of sulphur, A correspondent of the Country Gentle man also says :—If any person will try kero-~ sene in his poultryshouse he will have no further trouble with lice. This is the man- nerof using it? ‘Take a stick suitable for a handle, wind upon one end old rags to form a ball about three inches in diameter : wet the ball with kerosene, light it, and pro- ceed to wash the house with the flame, in the same manner as whitewashing. This is a remedy when all others fail, and should be used with great care.’ Another says: — ‘I have tried nearly everything that | heard of, and I find that hot water is the best thing | ever used. ‘Throw it in the nést and on the roost boiling hot, after that whitewash them. I have tried this remedy for the last five years with entire success. It may be well known and common, but I have never heard of it, nor have I seen it published.’’ Another reports:—After an experience of three or four years, I find that that putting one pint of kerosene, such as [ burn, in the whitewash, and alsotaking alarge paint brush and painting roosts, nests \c., with it (kerosene) three or four times a year, is perfectually effectual. 1 use a large brush because I can do it more quickly, and work it into every crack more readily. It makes the house smell strong- ly, but the chickens do not mind that. It is not much trouble, and is effectual. The same process is equally effective with bed- bugs. ’ Care of Colts. We import stallions at many thousand of dollars apiece, for the improvement of our stock, which is money almost spent in yain, and will continue to be so spent until we, as a class, winter our colts better. Colts should be housed through the cold, rainy days of the fall nnd when it is pleasant they should run out. In the winter they should have a liberal allowance of hay, They should also have a few oats and carrots, Oats are better than corn, for they make bone. SALE OF FREEHOLD PROPERTE.

When people see a man advertise they know he is a business man, and his advertizing pro- claims that he is not above busikgess, but anxious to doit. Customers, like sheep, are gregarious, and flock where they see others go. If nobody else were engaged in the same business, it would be important to tradesmen and dealers to adver- tize in the paper, because they are tempted to buy what they read of. But others are engaged in the same business, and even if they do ad- vertize, it becomes the more important for you todoso; if they do not advertize it becomes doubly important.—Anon.” MERCHANTS WILL FIND CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR FALL GOODS By Advertising in the EXAMINER.

THE ALDINE, THE ART JOURNAL OF A MERICA, [ssuEpD MonrTHLyY. Magnificent Conception, carried out,” wae wonderfully The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of our great artist, has aiways been recognized, and many aitempls have beea made to meet the want. The successive failures which $9 invariably followed each atlempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the in- difference of the people of America to the claims of high art. So soon asa proper ap- preciation of the want and an ability to meet it were shown, the public at once railied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artist and commercial triumph—THE ALDINDE. THE ALDINE, while issued with ail regu- larity, has none cf the temporary or limely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It isan elegant miscellany of pure, tight, and graceful literature ; anda collection of pic- tures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in biack and white. Although each sueceed- ing number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, and the real value and beauty of the ALDINE wili be most appreciated after it is bound up at the close of the year. While other pablications may claim superior cheap- compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE is a unique and original conception—alone and unapproached—ab- solutely without competition in price or character. The prossessor of a complete volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for len limes ils cost ; and then, there ts the chrome besides ! The national features of THE ALDIYE must Le taken in bo narrow sense. True are its cosmopolitan. While THE ALDINE is a Strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. its mission is to cullivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit, Thus, while placing before the pat- rons of THE ALDINE, as a leading charac- teristic, Lhe productions of the most noted American artists, alteation will always be given ty specimens from foreign masters giving subscribers all the pleasure and in- struction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic iifusration of American scen- ery, original with THE ALDINE is an im-~ portant feature, and its magnificent plates be are ofasize more appropriate to the satisfactory treatmemt of details than can afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated in- terest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artist too closly to a single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is a light and graceful accompaniement, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical dispositions as do not interfere with the popnlarinterest of the work.
