< The (iftlricn Wedding1. Wake np, wife'?the black cloak of Night begins to fade, Ami far in the cast the Morning his kitchen fire lias made; Anil he is beating red-hoi his stove of irongray, And stars are winking and blinking before the light o' da V. Mind you what I was Uo:n, just niry years agone?? Bmsliin' my Sunday raiment, an' put tin' my best looks on; Clotliiu'myself in courage, =o none r.iy fright could see; An my coward heart within, the while, was pounding to grt five. Ton mile wood an' bramble, an* three mile field an* dew, In the cold smile of morning I walked to marry von: No horse had I lut my wuIkm?no filot but a siav: Bnt my boyish heari it fancied it heard you from a fur. So through the woo.Is I hurried, .in' through the grass an' dew, An*little I thought o' tiring, the whole of my journey through; Things ne'er before nor after do so a man rejoice, As on the day be marries the woman of his choiee. And then our country wedding?brimful o grief an* glee, With every one a-pettin' an' jokin' you an' me; The good cheer went and came, wife, a* it sometimes lias done When clouds have chased each other across the summer sun. There was your good old father, dressed up in wed din' shape, With all the homespun finery that he could rake an' scrape; And your dea:-hearted mother, the sunlight ot whose smile Shone through the showers of tear-drops that stormed her lace the v.hile; Also your sisters an' brothers, who hardly seemed to know How they could scare up courage to let their sister go; An' cousins an' school-house comrades, dressed * up in meet in' trim, With one ot' them a-sulkia' because it wasn't inin; An' there wa?i the good old parson, his neck all dressed i:i white, A bunch o' texts in his left eye, a hynm-book in his r . ':t: An' the pan.-n's virgin daughter, plain an<l severely pure, Who hoped we should be happy, but wasn't exactly sure. And there was the victuals, seasoned with kind regards an' love, Aud holly wreaths with breastpins of rubies, up above; An'there was rav heart a-wonderin'as how such V-_ things coul 1 be, An' there was the world before r.s, an' thero was you and me. Wake up, wife! that gold bird, the sun, has come in sight Anil on a tree-top perches to take his daily flight. lie is not old and Iceblc, an' he will sail awav, As he has done so ol'tcu since tiftv years to-day. You know there's company coming?our daughters an' our sons; There's John, end James, and Lucy, an' all their little ones; And Jennie, she will be here, who in her grave doth lie Provided company ever can come from out the sky); And Sam?I am not ccrtain as he will come, or not; They say he is a black sheep?the wildest of the lot. r Before a son's dishonor, a lather's loves stands dumb; But still, somehow or other, I hope that bam will comc; The tree binds clown its branches to its children from above? The son i-> lord of the father, and rules him with his love; ? And he will e'er bo longed for, though far they be apart, For the drop of Mood he carries, that came from the father's heart. Wake you, wife ! the loud sun has roused the sweet daylight, And she has dressed herself hp in red and yellow and whjfeif' She has dr^rreu herself for us, wife?for our jpgSuin' d-.y once more? soul to-day is younger than ever it was y s? ?Will Cork-ton, in Harper's Wukltj. ' The Handsome Artist, ! Grrcme McDonald was a young High- . lander come to Florence to study the i old masters. He was an athletic, whole- 3 some, handsome fellow. He painted in . the palace or wiped his forehead 011 a ! warm day with equally small care, to all J appearance, and he had brought his , ? . . mother and two sisters to Italy, and v supported them by a most heroic econ- ?. omy and industry. Indeed, the more I ] fenaw MpDnnnld the more I became 1 convinced that there was another man | . built over him. Perhaps you have been in Florence, | j dear reader, and know by what royal L liberality artis.'s are permitted to bring j ( , their easels into the splendid apart- , ment? of the palace and copy from the , priceless pictures on the walls. At the j time I have my eye upon (some few V - years ago), McDonald was making a 1 beginning of a copy of " Titian's Bella," I ( and near him stood the easel of a female j * artist who was copying from the glorious picture of " Judith and Holofernes," in j . r. the same apartment. Mademoiselle! Folie (so she was called by the elderly i lady who always accompanied her) was | a small and very graeefnlly^formed : creature, with the plainest face in which attraction could possibly reside. I MCiJouaui was ner nearest neignoor, and they frequently looked over each other's pictures; but, as they were both foreigners in Florence (>he of Polish j birth, as he understood), their conver- ! sation was in French or Italian, neither > of which languages were fluently familiar to Graeatu, and it was limited gener- j ally to expressions of courtesy or brief j criticisms of each other's labor's. As I said before, it was a " proof impression" of a celestial summer's morning, and the thermometer stood at heavenly idleness. McDonald stood ' with his maul-stfbk across his knees, I drinking from Titian's picture. An . artist, who had lounged in from the , next rooni nau liung mmseit uy tne cr^ok o^j^uin over a high peg, on his ? comrac^^Kel, and every now and ^ thon he volunteered an observation which he expected no particular answer. "When I remember how little beauty I have seen in t lie world," said Ingarde (this artist), " I am inclined to be'ip**c with Saturninns, that there is no resurrection of bodies, and that only the spirits of the good return into the body n-w-. of . tie Godhead?for what is ugliness [ to do in heaven V" McDonald only paid: " Hm?hm!" "How will this little plain woman look in the streets of the New Jersusalem, for example! Yet she expects, as we J all do, to be recognizable by her friends in heaven, and of course, so have the " same irredeemably plain face. Does she understand English, by the way? for she might not be altogether pleased with my theory V" " I have spoken to her very often," paid McDonald, "and I think English is Hebrew to her?but my theory of beauty crosses at least one corner of your argument, my friend! I believe that the original type of every human being could be made beautiful without in any essential particular destroying the visible identity." " And you think that little woman's face could be made beautiful ? " " 1 know it." " Try it, then. Here is your copy of Titian's 'Bella,' all finished but the face. Make an apothesis portrait of your neighbor, and while it harmonizes with the body of Titian's beauty, still leave it recognizable as the portrait, and I'll give in to your theories?believing in all other miracles, if you like, at the I same time!" Ing'irde laughed as he went back to I his own picture, and McDonald, after sitting a fevr minutes lost in reverie, turned his easel so as to get a painter's view of his female neighbor. He thought she colored slightly as he fixed his eyes . upon her; but if so, she apparently became very soon unconscious of his gaze, and he was soon absorbed himself in . ' the ta*k to which his friend had so mockingly challenged him. [Excuse me, dear reader, while with two epistles I build a bridge over which you can cross a chasm of a month in my . story, j "To Grejie McDonald: Sir:?I am ink [ ???????i?wn?M? trusted with a delicate commission which I kkow not how to broach to yoi except by simple proposal. Will voi forgive my abrupt brevity, if I inforn you, without further preface, that th Countess Xyschriem, a Polish huly o nigii limn and ample lonune, noes yoi the honor to propose for your hand. 1 yon are disengaged and your affection are not irrevocably given to another, can conceive no sufficient obstacle ti your acceptance of the brilliant connec lion. The countess is twenty-two, an< not beautiful, it must in fairness b said; but she has high qualities both o head and heart, and is worthy any man' respect and affection. "An answer is requested in the cours of to-morrow, addressed to 'The Conn Hanswald, minister of his majesty, tin king of Prussia.' I have the honor etc., etc. Hanswald." McDonald's answer was as follows: "To His Excellency, Hanswald, Etc. Err.: You will pardon me that 1 ltavi taken two days to consider the extra ordinary proposition made me in you letter. The subject, since it is to be en tcrtained a moment, requires, perhaps still farther reflection?-but my repb shall be definite and as prompt as I cai bring myself to be in a matter so impor tanr. " My first impulse was to return you: letter, declining the honor you wouh fir* m.o nml < l?r?v? L in cr tlm lililv for tlx c> mpliment of her choice. My first re flection was the relief and happiness which an independence would bring tc a mother and two sisters dependent now on the precarious profits of my pencil And I lirst consented to pouder the matter with this view, and I now consent to marry (frankly) for this advantage. But still I have a condition tc propose. "In the studies I have had the opportunity to make of the happiness oi imaginative men in matrimony, I have observed that their two worlds of fact and fancy were seldom under the control of one mistress. It must be a very nrfmnnlinnn* n'fimnn nf TV 11 n with the sweet domestic qualities needed for common life, possesses at the sauie time the elevaion and spirituality requisite for the ideal of the poet and painter. And I am not certain in anv ease whether tho romance of some secret passion, fed and pursued in the imagination only, be not the inseparable necessity of a poetical nature. For the imagination is incapable of being chained, and it is at once disenchanted and set roaming by the very position and certainty which arc the charms of matrimony. Whether exclusive devotion of all the faculties of mind and body be the fidelity exacted in marriage is a question every woman should consider before making a husband of an imaginative man. As I have not seen the countess I can generalize on the subject without offense; and she is the best judge whether she can chain my fancy as we ll as my affections, or yield to an imaginative mistress the devotion of so predominant a quality of my nature. 1 can only promise her the constancy of a husband. This inevitable license is allowed? my ideal world and its devotions, that is to say, left entirely to myself?I am ready to accept the honor of the countess' hand. "Your excellency may command my time and presence. With high consideration, etc. Gn.iime McDonald." Rather agitated than surprised seemed Mile. i'olle when, the next day, as she arranged her brushes upon the shelf of her easel, her handsome neighbor commenced in the most fluent Italian he could command to invite her to his wedding. Very much surprised was McDonald when she interrupted him in English and begged him to use his native tongue, as madam, her attendant, would not then understand him. He went on delightedly in his own honest language, and explained to her his imaginative admirarion, though he felt compunctious, somewhat, that so unreal a sentiment should bring the visible blood to her cheek. She thanked him? drew the cloth from the tipper part of her own picture and showed him an admirable portrait ot his handsome features, substituted for the mascuine head of Judith, in the original frloiu which she copied?and promised to be at his wedding, and to listen sharply for her murmured name in his vow at the alter. He chanced to wear at the niomnt a rinp of rod carnelian, and he agreed with her tliat she should stand where he could see her, ami at the moment of his putting the marriage ring upon his bride's liuger that she should put on this, and forever after wear it as a token of having received his spiritual vows of devotion. 1 lie day came and the splendid equipage of the countess dashed into the square of the Santa Maria, with a veiled bride and a cold bridegroom, and deposited them at the steps of the church, riiey were followed by other coroaeted equipages, and gavly dressed peop'e dismounted from each?the mother ind sisters of the bridegroom, gavlv Iressed, among them, but looking pale with incertitude and dread. The veiled bride was small, but she moved gracefully up the aisle, and met tier future hushand at the altar with a Low courtesy, and made a sign to the priest to proceed with the ceremony. McDonald was colorless but firm, and indeed showed but little interest, except by an anxious look now and then imong the crowd of spectators at the sides of the a'tar. lie pronounced his vows with a steady voice, but when the ring was to be put on he looked around for an instant, and then suddenly, and to the groat scandal of all present, clasped hisbride with a passionate ejaculation to his bosom. The carnelian ring was on her linger?and the Countess Nvsehriem and Mademoiselle Folic? his bride and his fancy queen?were one! This curious event happened in Florence some years since?as all people then there will remember?and it was prophesied of the countess that she would have but a short lease of her handsome and gay husband. But time does not say so. A more constant husband than McDonald to his plain and titled wife, and one more continuously in love, does not travel and buy pic lures and pairomze ariisuj ? uwugu ie?, except yourself, clear reader, know the philosophy of it! Florida and Its Fruits. Florida, says a writer in the Hartford Ti7nes, is destined to be, par excellence, the fruit and vegetable garden of the Union. The oranges produced here are far superior in flavor and delicacy to those from Cuba or the Mediterranean, and obtain higher prices from dealers, They are superseding all others in the market, and the demand is only limited by the present inadequate supply, Many are engaging in the cultivator of this fruit, and the labor rcquirec and capital invested assure of meeting a prompt and yrottfaLle reward. Then art gloves that will return to their own ers this season an income of SI,000 pel acre. Such property, of course, com mands a large price. One grower in tin State disposed of his crop at the hand some figure of 640,000. This represent: the annual inteiest of SI,000,000, in vested in four per cent, national secur ities. Ten years ago this bonanza was a piece of wild woodland. An advantage of the orange tree is that it at tains an indefinite ngo, and that its pro ductiveuess constantly increases. Tin present,'riekl of this delicious and pop ular fruit is not sufficient to supply tw< of the juicy globes to each of the cit i izens of the United States.

No sooner was the cere- jn n ; emonv concluded then the high master f(1 f of ceremonies, stepping forward, re s quested all the Belgians in waiting on ft I the princess?the stewards, chamber- ve rw 1:1 ins mid liiilioe?tn fnllmr liim. mid led s . them away; their duties were at an end, fri I ; for Princess Stephanie was now an Aus- 30 e | trian. Next instant the master of eerf . emonies appeared at the head of a new s cortege of ladies and gentlemen in wait- yy j ing accredited to the crown princess ju 0 this time Austrian sand Hungarians. This jII part of the ceremony was, perhaps, the 0 most impressive of all, and the crown ( princess was deeply moved. ^(, lit The Simplicity of Ditnh lilusirnird. jjj , Simple costumes, as well as rich and it e gorgeous ones, being the order of the th ,- day, one can dress in the style or man- In r ner most becoming to them, spending gr - hundreds of dollars or as many cents, th , according to their purse or inclination, cli i" Apropos of 1 his simplicity that is so 1 much admired, and which often costs - more than an elaborate toilet, is the following: A number of ladies at a l.?rge r party were wondering why all young 1 ladies did not dress in the plain, simple 0() ; style of a young belle present, whose - toilet thev greatly admired. The dress i j was of white surah, covered with tiny t1" > rallies of tlic same goods. The over- . 1 ; dress was of nun's veiling, with frills 111 . and cascades of cream-white lace, and sai > caught up with clusters of white suow- f drops covered with crystals. Upon her 1S head was a wreath of snowdrops glitter- P i ing with white jets. She wore no jewels, !? but carried in her hand a large antique 1! fan of white feathers spangled with 1? : crystals. After the party was over the ( E i wearer of the dress, who had enjoyed the compliments poured in upon her ^ for the exquisite simplicity of her dress, j,* ] told her doting old uncle, who had been 1( most profuse in his exclamations over ; her simple style of dress, that this com- u ; pound of veiling, surah and lace had mn I cost her over $200. All the uncle did SjS was to hand the young lady his new ? f I spring hat with a bow of acknowledg- ai" i ment, that women were to him incom- P10 prehensible, and that he would never .,e. again praise the simplicity of a $200 1 dress.

It is said they first derived be the idea from the Arabs, who at certain tin hours of the day and night are called to roi prayers by the long wailing cry of the en muezzins from the minarets of the mosques. When I first heard this music | in Stuttgart, coming as it appeared to me 1 , from the heavens. 1 was puzzled to know ful i its object and the sources whence it on came. I gazed above and around me, th l.vif T f.iiltwl tr> /Info/'t if? Knil 1VO Tlii> ! Ll | beautiful melody, .softon^J-bT distance, | tri was floating in ttte'air. It was like the j ' invisible luavenly choir that enraptured tin , St. Cecelia. A few days afterward, ap I happening to be in the same neighbor- no r hood and at the same hour of the day, 1 [ was more fortunate in my discoveries, br [ I again heard the music from above, its pa r pealing notes coming to me from some I go far distance like the strains of a church j lei } organ. Near me was the Stiffs Kirclie, i do [ an old church built in l.'ios, which has ! on i I attached to it an immense octagon tower wi rising up to a height of nearly two ' ca . j hundred feet. Encircling tliis tower 1 mi . near the top is a balcony on wliicli I at ' do last espied the authors of the strange J sti music. Several men with brass instru- rn _: ments were perched on that giddy height st< , playing saered music. When t hey had be _ | finished one piece they moved to another to 3 position on the balcony and played a . j dill'erent tune. Four selections in all js were played, one toward each point of 0f ' j the compass. On making inquiries j,v i afterward, I found that this playing from the church tower had been in practice J for more than a hundred years. A Ger- 0f r . man lady "once upon a time" belong- j-n a ling to one of the noble families be- w. queatlied a sum of money, the income jn ' i of which was ever after to be devoted to {?

Chorals are also played r from another of the church towers in ^ e Stuttgart by a brass band, and also from | . f j church towers in Ludwigslmrg, Kossen- : j 1 ' stein, Frederichshafen near Stuttgart, 1 i and in others of the very old German s ! cities and towns.?Letter to SprinafieUt 1 i Jirjiublicun. ?? js Henry Ward iVecher says he doesn't I hi e i know anything about evolution, and I hi r j doesn't care whether he descended from la i- I a inonneY or not, provided he has de- lb I scended far enough. i fo TILE FARM AND HOUS?llUlii>. Ennllneci Mr. G. W. Whitney, of Williston, ade a report at the pairymen's meetg of a series of experiments in high eding of dairy cows, showing that ith good average cows the feedings of ton of mixed eornmeal and bran per ar gave a handsome prolit in his liry. The butter yielding increased run 150 pounds under hay only to !f>, 408, 480 and 3(34 pounds in the ur cows experimented with, besides eat enrichment of the l^anure. Mr. hitney is a thoroughly pi., jtieal man, whom our dairymen have great conlenee, and the results of his tests will ve a strong impetus to high feeding this state. "Ensilage aud meal" are lieved to be the woids to conjure pro s with. These, in connection withconmous dairyingsnmmer aiul winter will, is hoped, enable onr dairymen to hold eir own against Western competition, directly also these methods tend to cat improvement in corn culture, in e use of tillage machinery, to tlio exusion of old-fashioned handwork. Swnmp IHuck. The American Agriculturist says an re of swamp muck of good quality, ree feet deep, is actually worth ?25,(). No doubt such a statement is surising. So was :he statement of Driwes, of England, that a ton of bran 1 to cows returnedjnore than it cost manure. The best muck, free from id, eontr.ins two per cent, or forty unds of nitrogen in a ton. Nitrogen worth in the market twenty-five cents r pound, so that a ton of swamp muck worth ?30 for the nitrogen in it. All it is needed is to work up the nncK, as to make the nitrogi-u available. l acre of swamp muck three feet deep ntains 2,500 tons, and would require ;ht months to draw out, at ten loads a v. Few persons realize the value of > fertilizing element of common waste tters which lie under their feet, and ; innumerable tons of matter that y be available for fertilizing pnrpoi, or that many of the idle and nested materials represent a vast ount of wealth. But it must be reinhered that all swamp muck cannon classed as of good quality?somo of s next door to worthless. The Poultry Ynr?l.

In all cases we find the crop filled h this portion of the feather, and we ;e a number of times checked the uble by giving the fowls a supply of 3lv-cut rowen grass or hay.

A curing-rnom, should, how- 1 sv, be kejifc so dry that the cheese I 1 lose its water very rapidly; as in j s case, although a high flavor must j obtained, the casein will not be j roughly broken down, and "he cheese j 1 be hard and indigestible. The ;aking down of the casein appears to caused by some agent obtained in i rennet, which in many instances reables an organized ferment, that acts v slowly when the amount of water i ssent in the cheeso is less than the I ein, and stops its action entirely en the casein is in large excess. A xl illustration of the fact that cheeso j 1 not cure when deprived of a large | :t. of its water is furnished by the fortion of the rind, this being composed a thin layer of casein which has partly dried before the curing has mado ich progress. A rind will not form on heese kept in a moist atmosphere, r on the cut surface of a cured cheese, elieve that lack of water is the chief son why cheese made from skimmed lk is so difficult to cure. Analyses nv that, although the percentage of ter is usually high in such cheese, ) ratio of water to casein is much less m in cheese made from whole milk.' V letter to the Maine Farmer from rmont says that quite *a number of mers in all parts of that state have ilt silos and tilled them last fall, and, far as can be learned, they have met h perfect success. General Thomas iccts to get forty tons to the acre next ir, and his estimate of its feeding iue is that two tons will bo equal to o ton of average hay.

The Peruvian ladies do not work they consider labor disgraceful. Yet they nre generally occupied. They rise early, take a cup of tea, and go to mass. Their walking suits are neat and pretty ; in this respect they surpass us. The dress is black, and never touches the ground ; there is no fussing or fumbling with trains. A white skirt is sometimes seen a little below the dress, with a deep hem and two tucks, and always white and clean. Prunella gaiters are generally worn ; tho hands are bare; the manta is thrown over the head, falling gracefully down almost to tho bottom of the skirt, and gives them a charming appearance; for it may conceal many defects of a faco that is not handsome, and it sets off to advantage the charms of a beautiful face. A lady never goes out alone in Lima; two or three go together, and a black woman servant walks behind. Young girls are carefully escorted by their friends wherever they ?0, and are never permitted to seo persons of the opposite sex alone. All the matches are made by older people, and so effectually is this done that the ladies all marry, and none are divorced. The subject of dress claims most of their time and attention ; their ball dresses and opera and soiree suits are magnificent. Their boots especially are beautiful. No people have naturally as small feet as the Peruvian. The ladies are not very intelligent, and care little for music or books. They love to smoke. Although handsome when young," they scarcely turn twenty when they begin to fade. One thing always lasts with them, and that is their gait. Their movements are gliding and graceful, and the samo is true of the men. On the street they never jostle each other. Their manners are excessively courteous; but their conversation amounts to little, being chieflv cos."ip about domestic affairs. How to (Jain Health.

Moth Preventive. A correspondent of tho lAirniture (la zdtr. recommends the following reined; for exterminating moths in carpets am furniture: After some years of expe rienco with the troublesome pests, say! (he writer, I found a sure preventive o: moths in pitch paper, the same as roof ers use. The moth will live and grow on cayenne popper and tobacco, whih I never could see that tho use of these articles kept the moth miller out. The plan for the furniture dealer or house wife is to cut the paper in slips and place about the room, under and behiue; sofas, chairs, etc.; this should be done as early as the middle of April, and ii warm climates earlier. If tho doaloi wishes to make parlor suits moth proof, ho should place on the inside of back.1 of chairs and seats small strips of the pitch paper, and rest assured that the miller will not select those places tc deposit eggs. It is tho miller that if the foundation of all the mischief.
