I tell on what, old fellow, I'm the maser of ray own house: I come when please, and go when I pleaac, )aisy never ventures on a word of _ i. * eprvw'ii. 4 Then you ought to be asham<1 of yonrBelf, larking round at the tubs as you do, dissipated bacbeor fashion/' 1 Ashamed ! What oft' 1 Why, I suppose you owe some luties to your wife!1 4 Where's the harm t My wife loeen't care.' 'Probably yon think so, been use lie is quiet and submissive; but f she were to object?' 4 Object 1 I"d like to hear her ry it." 4 Now, look here, Ainscourt; our wife may be a model wife, mt yon certainly are not a model ?-t J n . ?

(Then Why don't you treat her ia if you did 1' it - i n k 1 Oh ! come Portoross, that qncsion just shows what fr,regular old tachelor yoti are. It won't do to nake too inuob of your wife, oness yon want to spoil her.' Mr. Portcroea snook his head. 4 That sounds selfish. 1 don't like he ring of the metal.' And he went away, leaving Mr. linecourt to finish hie game of >illtards at his leisure. 1 What a regular old fnss budjet Portcroee is,' laughed the later. ' Always poking his nose ino somebody else's business, ["here's one comfoit?1 never pay my attention to wliat lie says.' Meanwhile Mrs. Ainsconrt was letting alone in her drawing room icr two little white hands tightly ocked in one another, and her fair lead slightly drooping?a delicate ittle app'e-bhesom of a woman, vitb bine wistful eyes and curly laxen Hair, looking more like a grownnp child than a wife of ;wentyone an minors. 4 O dear!' sighed Daisy. 4 It is >o dull here. I wish Herbert would some home, lie never spends any time with me nowadays, and I practice all bis favorite songs, and read the newspapers, so I can talk kbort the things he is interested n, and try so hard to be entertainng. It's very strange.' ^ And then her oval faro brightmod into sodden brilliance, and iparkle* stole into her eyes; for ne wife's quick car had delected ler husband's footstep on the itairs. The next moment he came n. 4 Well, pet, how are you ?" with i playful pinch of h e r cheek. There arc some bonbons for you. LLLE iter, unir ti3mpt fENvTLLEr^WTyCABOLIN ? ?? ?

And with one careless kiss press ed on the quivering damask rose of a mouth that was lilted np to hini, he was gone. Daisy Ainseourt neither went to her mother-in-law, nor sent for one of her girl-friends. She spent the evening all alone, pondering on the shadow which was fast overgrowing her life. ( What shall I do f" thought the little timid, shrinking wife. 4 Oh, what Kail I dot' Bat, child as she was, Daisy had a strong, resolute, woman's heart within her, nor was she long in coming to a decision. * Da 18V.' said her husband to l*?r ! the next <lay,(you haven't any oh I iectlons to inj attending the Orion !

And oh, Herbert, isn't it nice !' Mr. Ainscourt a aid nothing more ; but Mrs. Frenchurch found liirn a very stupid eompatiion for the remainder of the evening. lie was late at dinner the next day, but, late as he was, he lound himself more punctual than his wife, and the solitary meal was half over before Mrs. Daisy tripped in, her cashmere shawl trailing over her shoulders, and her dimpled cheeks all pink with the fresh wind. 4 Am I behind timet Really, I am so sorry I But we have been driving in the park and?4 4 We!

Let ws give you a few more oysters." Ainecourt looked sharply at his wife. Was she really in earnest, or was there a mocking under-enrreut of satire in her tone t But he could not deckle, so artless was Iter countenance. 4 I'll talk to her about it sometime/ was his interna! decision. * Daisy / he said carelessly, when dinner was over, 4 I've asked old ? -? auhto J ?V VV1UV Mill epcnu the day with you to morrow 1' 4 Oh, have you I I'm sorry, for I am engaged out to-morrow.' 4 You!

Herbert Ainaoourt said no more, but he did not at all relish the change that had lately come over lite spirit of Daisy's dream. She did change, somehow. She went out driving, here, there, and everywhere. He never knew when he was certain of a quiet evening with her; she joined" not ouly the club, but innumerable societies for a thousand and one purposes, which took her away from home ftlmoet continually'. .Mr. A tasooert dialed against tlie bit, but it a:as useless. Daisy always had an excuse to plead. Presently her mother in law bore down upon her?an austere old lady in black satin and a ches nut-brown wig. * Daisy, you are making my son wretched.' * Am IT cried Dsisy. * Dear me, 1 hadn't an idea of it!

In local itieo where danger of hard freezes is over, the sooner it Is planted the better. Where ample provision for teed of all kinds has not been made, by sowing largely of oats and other grains, onr readers will Ea don ns tor nrging that a large readth of land be devoted to coi n. It inay not be a profitable crop compared with small grains, bnt experience has 6l?own that,. as a general rule, it is decidedly better policy for the farmer to raise than buy his provisions. To one living on a railroad or steamboat thoroughfare, with land specially adapted to ootton growing, and with a good seaeon, it may be cheaper to bay corn than to raise it; but bow few, comparatively, are thus situated, and who has the guarantee of good seasons ? The corn crop is made during the first half of snmmer?tho ootton crop is made during the latter half; it may happen, therefore, that a season be admirably suited for a corn crop and yet perfectly disastrous to a cotton crop. It does not follow, because the cottgn crops fails that corn wonld have tailed also, and we ninst urge again, as we have done before, that two chances are better than one. For corn, land should be nlonvh. ed very deep and thoroughly, to gnard against drought, the greatest of ita enemies in our climate. At a farther safeguard against the same, flat culture is all important, and to render this practicable, it should be planted in tbe4 water-furrow;'or where the land has not been bedded, in the bottom of a deep broad furrow made by a large shovel, drawn by two horses. This furrow should be so wide that a little 44 list " may be thrown on tbe seed without filling the large furrow. L'lanted in this manner, the corn makes its appearance b% low tbe general level of tho surface, and permits dirt to be thrown to it in the after workings, without ridging the land. Our best authorities say, that in the early stages of cultivation, the dirt should not be thrown to it too rapidly, allowing time lor the roots from the first joint to "develope well, before those from tho second joint shall have soil to firm in. (Jul ton seed is generally considered a standard manure for this crop. It is one in which the nit rogenoue element is in excess, as compared with other important ingredients, and in substituting any other manure in its place for corn, we should follow this indication. All the small grains and grasses (co n is a true grass,) delight in nitrogenous fertilizers. Some of our enterprising farmers might do a good work, by making a series ot experiments, testing the value of different fertilizers for corn, ns has been done fn the case of cotton. The practice ot putting man are in mass near the hill ot corn, we are compelled to believe a bad one?a part may be placed there to advantage, to give the young plant a strong, vigorous start?the balance should l>c applied broad cast, or perhaps put in the furrow on e?ch side of the corn, during the second working. In this con nection, wo refer to the experiments of Mr. West, in the Feb. No., present volume, from which he draws the Inference, that in the case of cotton, whenever the amount used pa?6& a certain limit, the excess pays better applied broadcast, than in the drill. We would again also snggest the planting of a portion of the crop with the seed of some early vane ty of com obtained from the North ?it may mature before the sum mer droughts. On this point see testimony of Mr. S. Z. M., in pros ent No. As soon as the corn crop is disposed of, sorghum may be planted. With the tnnny improve moots discovered of late in manufaetnring syrnp and sngar from this plant, we doubt not it would pay those living where the tropical cane docs not grow, to make this one of their regular crops. Mr. Cook gives us full directions lor 1 planting, cultivating, dec., in present No. !' During March, the bedding of [cotton land, and distribution of fertilizer* should be pushed rapidly forward, if not already done. It is desirable, after guano, &c., has been plncod in the ground and bedded on, to let the land remain undisturbed for some three or four weeks ^before planting The manure shonld be placed pret ty deep in the ground, that if may remain damp in dry weather.
