Not that sbe was ugly or ill-tempered? ^ oh, no! She was as pretty as a picture, and sbe was as sweet as a May morn- c ing; but when one lives on Esplanade P street, in a house with a bizh wallarouud * it, with a maiden aunt for a duenna, and " a papa wbo scowls at the bare mention ol "marriage," one runs a poor chance ? of meeting one's fate. u Mimi was just eighteen, and though she was brought up iik? a recluse, she n began to think it was high time she had ^ Ck JW>Cl . One evening, as she sat in the com- 5" panj- of her father and Aunt Diane, she remarked suddenly, in a plaintive voice: ? " Lucy Marshall was married last Tues- n day." 5< " And very silly, at her age!" retorted . Aunt Diane. " A mere chit?she ought al to be at school." Mirui had her own opinion upon the subjei-t, but she prudently kept it to herself; merely remarking: "Millie Dupont is married too, and she is six months younger than I am." " And what then?" asked papa, looking up from his newspaper. * "Oh! nothing!" Mimi replied, sigh- y< ing profoundly. "Harriet says she was married at St. Louis, wi'h six bridesmaids. and a veil, and a train three - 'i yards long." "Harriet is an idle, gossiping ser- ... vant," interrupted her aunt, 'who has no business filling your head with such T nonsense." * " And does mv little cirl envv these " yount: ladies?" Mr. Legrand inquired, " We-eli," returned Mimi, ia a noncommittal tone, "itmust be verynice. 3t All my friends are marrying, ana?and ?I am getting to be quite an old maid!" '' Marriage is not the chief end of life," , said Miss Diane, severely. "Tliere are "( noolcr, higher things to which a woman may devote kerselt." ei "Oh, bother!"?and Mimi slirugged st lier saucy shoulders. "Mimi," said her fu^b^r, seriously, " you must give up tUe?e foolish thoughts. You might tindjii atunhappiness in a lover." " But, raca." urged Mimi, " I am sure ,n you married." P' " And bitterly repented it,'- her k( father might have replied, looking back . upon liis unhappy wedded life; but he ouly frowned ana said: " Let us have no j0 more of this folly, Mimi." 08 Thus snubbed, she did not dare to say . more; but the pouted and thought to 9* herself: " I might as well be a fright, for no one pver sees me. Unless I can slip away, I never can go out walking without Aunt Diane, ana even then she Cl makes me bundle up my head in a veil so until, no doubt, *every one thinks I've . bad smallpox.

It's a shame?that's what 10 it is!" Hut the darkest cloud has a silver 01 lining. On.-al trnoon, when papa was away at hi b siness, and Aunt Diane " had "just stepped out to see a friend." Mimi meditated upon what use she could make of her liberty. She sat down to lu the piano, and began "I love my love;" w then jumped up with a yawn. The only thing she could find in the 10 shape of h romance was 44 Telemachus;" se but she soon dung it into a corner, and lr went out on the balcony. !t wa3 a lovely April day, and as she bent over the flower-boxes, there came 10 a loud ring at the bell. Hanging over .. she railing, regardless of appearances, he descried a handsome youth stand- . ng on the steps. " "A man !" she exclaimed, inwardly, "Oh, joy!" ?.' A few minutes later. Harriet came up- P1 stairs and said: "Miss Mimi. dere's a 1D /enelman in de parlor, cailin' hisselfMr. . Wolfe, an' he wants to see Miss Dianv." Je " Aunt Diane is ne t at home," an- ? swered Mimi. 'J 441 done tole him dat a'ready, an' he st say? any cb thefam'ly'li do jesasgood." "I will see him," said Mimi, with dignity. ;< ? ,ar " De law, miss! wi 1 you?'' cried Harrict, awestruck b>\su n bravery; adding (,T discreetly, "But wl.at'll Miss Diany say?" 44 Whatever she chooses." said the little rebel, with a parting glance at the mirror. Meanwhile. George Wolfe was gazing ' j around the old-fashiontd room, witli ils ^ tarnished gilding .md spingle-legged chairs, and decided t lat its inhabitants ^ must be a dre*riful set of old fossils, when the door opened, and the sweetest i "! little creature in the world camo in. | ?'

" sj > As soon as Aunt Diane came home, ilimitold her about Mr. Wolfe, and gave ler the package of papers. 44 You went down to see him!" ejacuated the spinster, 41 alone?without a hnperon! What well-behaved girl ever lid .such a thine? What an unpreceiented boldness!

What?what will your ather say?" 41 Her dyed hairs, I guess she mean3," bought Mimi, adding aloud, 44 Why, ie'll say you ought to have been at home o rcceive the papers?that's what he'll ay." Miss Diane reflected that this artful emark was true, and not caring to be eprimanded by her brother, she rntigianimously said: 44 For once, I will conent to spare you, Mimi, but never let it lap pen again/' "Oh, aear, no!" said Mimi, with a 'irtuous air; and that evening she rattled as artlessly as ever to her unuspecting papa. Several times afier this, as Mimi was leering through the shutters, she saw Jeorge Wolfe, and each time the Jaudaious youth kissed his hand to her. Having little else to think about, he pas continually in her mind, and the earnings of her guardians defeated heir object, by making her realize that tolen waters are sweet. While this was going on, an old aunt j f Miss I)inne, from whom she had exectations, was taken very ill, and Miss | )iane dew to her succor, leaving Mimi o the care of her father, who, fearing ( ;0 danger, took no precautions. One afternoon. Mimi, taking advaut- 1 ge of her new-found liberty, went out o carry some soup to a poor invalid in j it. Anthony's alley, and this being done. 1 mgered in the square. By a strange ' oincidence George Wolfe suddenly ap- j eared from behind a eucalyptus tree ! nd Mimi turned as rosy as an April ! awn, at the sight of him. " I had begun to despair of ever seeine j ou again," he said, " and almost made p my mind to brave the dragon." 1 "Aunt Diane is away on a visit, 1 ow," she replied, demurely. < "That accounts for your being out ol : oors," he said.

FAKfl, GARDES AND HOUSEHOLD. *_ Dccd Plowing. A correspondent of the Cultivator writes: Deep plowing is not in the favor it was a few years ago, and in some localities and soils it is absolutely injurious. Those who practice deep plowing do not commend it as the grand panacea for all the evils of poor soil and imperfect culture, as was common only .> f,.w rnnva nfrn Rpfftrd is and should be had to circumstances. Nobody now wouia think ol deep plowing on a light sand with little vegetable matter on the surface. To turn this under ten, eight, or even six inches, is to almost irreparably ruin the field. I know strong heavy soils with clay subsoil where one deep plowing has required years of good culture and hundreds of loads of immure to get it into good condition for cropping. It is reasonable to suppose that this would be so. If we had manure enough to fertilize an acre to the depth of four inches, it will be less than half enough to fertilise eight inches deep, for the under strata is always poorer nnr?Qv iTnlocc ?r*mn nrp tilibix lilJV tUfjy*-*. wuu, MUtWW ?v?4?w V vious deep plowing lias reversed the natural order of things. And if it has, nature does its utmost to restore the true order. It is not only that natural manuring is always on the surface, but in dry weather and on dry zoils fertility generally tends toward light and air. If the soil is always or mostly saturated with water, fertility may " leach " out. But usually the tendency is the other way. Capi llary attraction brings water with all it holds in solution, to the surface ol the soil. .Salt tut Manure. Various experiments, says the Journal of Borticiil lire, have been made by M. Pelligot and others, to test the value of salt as a manure. The following summine up seems to have been arrived at: Salt should never be applied other than in a pulverous state, and never employed on impervious, cold and humid soils. The best manner to use it is to combine it with other manures, a doceof 200weight to the acre being sufficient. When selected to destroy insects, it should be applied before sunrise. In the case of cereals, salt strengthens the stems and causes the ears to till better, and the dissolution and assimilation of the phosphate? and silicates. It icts vigorously on potatoes, and can be detected in their ashes to the extent of o^ehalf per cent. Asparagus is a veritable glutton in the presence of salt. A dose of 300weight per acre acts without fail on beets, injuring its value for sugar purposes, but enhancing it for the feeding of cattle. Colza has a marked prediInr on It. fia ft.?nnT}Lirlls; ?Uld lit Holland, where the culture of peas is so sxtensive, salt is something like a necessity. Mixed with hay in the proportion of four ounccs lo a hundred-weight, the fodder is more appetizing; but the best way to feed it to animals is to allow them to enjoy it in the form of rock salt. Seasoning Many people have the idea that i linely-flavored dish must cost a ?reat deal; that is a mistake; if you have untainted meat, or sound vegetables, or even Indian meal, to be;in with, you can make it delicious with proper seasoning. One reason why Ficnoh cooking is much nicer than any ?ther is that it is seasoned with a great variety of herbs and spices; these' cost " re little? if you would buv a few jents' worth at a time you would soon lav? a good assortment. The best kinds ire sage, thyme, sweetmarjoram, tarragon, mint, sweet basil, parsley, bay eaves, cloves, mace, celery seed and inipns. If you will plant the seed of iny of these seven first mentioned in ittle boxes on your window-sill, or in i sunny spot in the yard, you can genirally raise all you need. Gather and Iry them as follows: Parsley and taragon should be dried in June and Fuly, just before flowering; mint in Tune and July; thyme, marjoram and avory in July and August; basil and age in August and September. All lerbs should be gathered in the sunhine, and dried by artificial heat; their lavor is best preserved by keeping hem in air-tight tin.cans, or in tightlyorked glass bottles. That Dear Little Boy. " I hope nothing will happen to that >ov," the cross passenger remarked .lixiously, as we v/ere speeding northvard from London. The boy in Question was about seven ears old. He was entertaining the laRsengere by running ug and down the .isle, shouting like a Comanche Indian, le would run to the rear door, kick the tanels and shout "Ho!" Then he vould run to the forward door, kick it .nd yell "Hay!" When this perform,i\ce began to grow maddening with the Qonotony, the boy would lend it a little rwieiy iu miv ouiuu tassenger's face, while :it the same time le would strike at him and shriek, " I'll ;iil you!" It was very interesting, and ve all loved the infant. Now and then lis mother would say, "Sammy, Sammy, dear, you mustn't strike the gentleman; perhaps the gentleman loesn't like it." And then the gentlenan would lie like a Trojan, aud say, 'Oh, yes, he didn't mind it; he liked ittle boys." And so we were all worried and nervous, for fear the child niglit get hurt. We fairly grew with mxiety. He slopped at my seat, matched the lap tablet out of my hands md roared, " Gimme that pencil!" and vhen his mother said, " Why, Sammy, f am afraid you disturb the gentleman," Sammy yelled, "I'll kill him!" I was 10 anxious about him that I watched lim all the way down the aisle to see if ie wouldn't fall and break his neck. 5o we all sat down and watched him vith concern written all over our faces. The boy snatched un apple away from he fat passenger, kicked the cross jasseneer s valise, made faces at the sad jassenger, and hit one man on the voodbox twice with a stick. Once, md only once, he made an offer to slap he woman who talks bass, but she rlared down on him with a croak that nade his hair stand on end, and he ivoided her during the rest of the trip. \t last, just as he was rushing up to lie forward door to kick it, the impetu ius brakemau banged it open to anlounce a station. He cracked that boy ;n the head with the brazen knob, and he boy acted very much as he would iave acted had he been shot with a latapult, and it took all the ice-water a the oooler to cool off his head, and he hrw wss effectually auieted down. And it was realty pleasant to see the vearied look of anxious concern pass oil he passengers' faces alter the brakelian dropped the boy. The cross passenger's grim face relaxed like a May norning, the fat passenger winked at he man on the woodbox. who was still "ubbing his knuckles with an air of :ender" interest, the sad passenger mmmed a merry little air, ana the -vottutn who talks bass gave a cheerful loak that was interpreted to meau aughter Four passengers, whose' names I could not le?rn, gave the istonished brakeman fifty cents apiece. The boy with his head swathed up in tvet handkerchiefs remained comparatively quiet.?Burlington Hawnxye. How a Drunken Man's Life was Saved.

And So Fall of BaU ea to Slve Dark nt Shade tu the Celling?Other Curlosl- M ties. lo' A recent letter dated Evansville, Ind., says: Wyandotte cave is in Crawford g* county, Indiana, near the Ohio river, jq. It is not accessible by rail, but must be th, reached by packet from Louisville or at Evansville, and from there by carriage, en The carriage ride is five miles, over as >,)a bad a road as can be found this side of mi the Sierras. The country is very hilly, gr heavily wooded and sparsely settled. BU Wyandotte is smaller than the Mam- tel moth cave, and much larger than either P.r of the Virginia caverns. In its general gL character it resembles tho Mammoth, j* and like the latter is vastly inferior to mi tiie Virginia caves in beauty. It is unguarded, and visitors have been accus- sic f moH fn TtfcmHor thrroifrh if: iiviatftmAaA *\n uvy i;uivu6u ?u umu^vhmvu, committing every kind of vandalism, re Patent medicine advertisements have been painted u on the walls, ceilings have been blackened with smoke, and the best of the stalactites have been an broken. fi??r It is said to be twenty-three and one- ^ half miles long, but this estimate is un- Cj] trustworthy. The writer 'carefully th paced, in the presence of one of the pro- tir prietors, a section embracing four of the kii supposed iwenty-fobr and one-half pr mi.es, and found it to measure 2,600 th yards. Ttiis ratio ot reduction applied ' to the whole estimate makes the entire m distance about nine miles, and this is ?9 probably about the actual length ot the * cave. The overestimating in this case is not exceptional. Few caves have ^ been surveyed, and measuring bv even he steps, when the way is through low to passages and over jagged rocks, is very ot laborious, while distance underground co is very deceptive. One of the caverns a# in Virginia, which is said to be two lic miles'in length, and is comparatively level and straight, measures just threefourths of a mile, and another, that con- , tains a route for visitors said to be five lh miles long, all lies within the diameter ar of half a mile. co At Wyandotte, as at Luray and the tw recently-discovered Newmarket caves, cb openings are to be seen that lead to chambers beyond the furthest_points thathavebeen visited, while in Weyer's P1 and one or two others of the smaller caverns, an end to progress is lound in 0l< heavy stalagmitic walls or accumula- flf tions of clay. The older part of Wyan- m, dotte has been known since the first set- 't? tlement of the country. In 1850 an ex- xi tensive a< dition was opened, and quite bu recently another large section has been wi explored. A few of the passages are rc exceedingly narrow and tortuous, and ra some ot'them are so low as<to make P" traveling painful, but most of the way is th tlirou^k hroad and lofty avenues. The story is told of a very corpulent man, who is a prominent politician, that in po going through one of the narrow places he became so tigntly wedged in that the . ca combined efforts of several lriends were be required to extricate him. or None of the funnel-shaped domes, by caused by surface drainage, tiiat are se common to Mammoth cave, are to be nn seen here, but there are several enor- ^ mous halls with vaulted tops, having a mound of rocks on the floor corresponding in outline to the curve of the ceiling. mi These have been formed by the gradual m disintegration of the rock above and its th deposit below. One of these is 1,000 0f feet in circumference and 245 feet in Joi height, and the hill in the center rises th 175 feet above the level of the original ha floor, nearly blocking up the approaches. b" One apartment is 250 feet long, 30 feet wide and 25 feet high; another, 100 c? feet in diameter; a third, 40 feet wide St and 120 feet long; another, 200 feet in diameter and 50 feet high; and still (mother. 250 feet Ions. 100 feet wide and 80 feci in height. One passage closely *i resembles a railway tunnel in size and wl form. The most notable of the formations are a stalagmite twenty-five fett in th diameter and thirty feet high, and a Pr semi-circular group of stalactites having lui the appearance ot a canopy.

Capital and Labor on the Big Farms oi Dakota. pi< We spent an evening in the comfort- " able home of one of thf superintendents, gtc and heard him explain the system of rai bookkeeping. Every man is engaged h0 by contract,, for a certain time, to do to certain work, for certain wages. He receives his money on presenting to the cashier a time check certifying the amount and nature of his labor." The average price paid to hands is $18 a month and board. In harvest they ce; get 80 25 a day. 1A record is kept P? by the foreman of the amount of th< wheat turned out by each thresher, th by the driver of each wagon of the A\ amount of wheat loaded by him, and by ov the receiver at the elevator of the an amount of wheat brought in by each th< team. All the farm machinery and the th provisions are bought at first hands for Ca wholesale price. Mules and horses are bought in St. Louis. Wheat is not wl stacked or stored, but shipped to market as rapidly as possible. Everything is rr regulated by an exact system, and this wi is what makes the furms a success. be Brains and energy in the man who QP controls them and in those whom he b.e chooses as his subordinate officers?this ri1 is the secret of the enormous profits le' which have beer. made on the Dalrym- th pie farms. The cost of raising the first nn crop is about Sll an acre; each'eubse- sequent crop coats $8. The average yield kr lor this year was about nineteen bush- th els to the acre. This could be sold at Fargo on October 1 for eighty cents a he bushel. A brief calculation will give you $4.20 per acre profit on the new <ji land, ana $7.yu lor an tiie rose; or, say, ?<= $130.00'.i gain on one crop. These figures "> I believe to De too small, ratherthan too w large. u But does this large farming pay for bt the country? It absorbs great tracts ^ of land, and keeps out smaller farm- ?c era. It employs tramps, who van- 1% ish when the harvest is over, instead of increasing the permanent population. h( It exhausts the laud. The cultivation co is very shallow. There is no rotation of crops. Everything is taken D from the ground; nothing is re- &r turned to it. Even the straw is burned. ?i The result of this is that the average ??! crop from any given acre grows smaller every year, and it is simply a question w of time under the present system how st; long it will take to exhaust the land. & ^ Harper's Magazine. ? p bt 1 br An Interesting Table, ri 1607.?Virginia settled by the Eng- Jlt lish.
