I had s him but few times, but in those times we had got to be quite g friends, and friends were the scarce , anytbiugin'mylife. He had been ai or some week* from the city. He ' longed to the best society, and wa an old and aristocratic family, those reasons, Aunt Dumont and cousin Lucia were very glad to h him call upon them and make h self at home in their parlor. T; were anxious to gat a rich husba They always* kept me in the ba ground when they conveniently coi consequently I was not surpris when. Mr. "Wayne ask?d if I wai home, to hear Aunt Dumont say, her smooth, oily tones. " I believe she went out a sb time ago, didn't she Lucia?" To which Lucia dutifully respont she thought I did. And which. I proved to the con! ry to the facts of the case by open th? parlor door and making my pearance among them. " Good morning, Miss Crawfor s id Mr. Wayne, smiling ami com toward me wi rh outstretched ha "I was-just inquiring;for you as 3 came in. I am glad to*see you." " Thank you." I sat down, desj ? Lucia's black looks, and comment to talk to Mr. Wayne about this a that and the^ other. I faucy I kt him pretty well engaged through t remainder of his call. I toed i best,'at least, and. I think I did 1 fail. I knew I was getting mys ready for a good scolding from Ai Dumont, and I could* see that Lui was angry with me, but feared show.it before Mr. Wayne. T?e n ment he was gone, I might expeci good lecture on my conduct. I sn pose I was wrong, but I did Uike c 'lightin provoking them, and I kire that to monopolize Mr. Wayne's .1 tention would be thc surest Way the world td bring about the desiri end. The door had hardly Mosed upi him when the storm began. ' Lue rhrew.the first bombshell. .

" I thought ho looked sp when came in, but I didn't know but might be mistaken/' I answered, ? coolly .as you ??loase:. " Lucia elevated her nos? io a great' altitude than usual, and relapsed in contemptuous silence. " I really think you might har some regard for us," began Aunt D; mont. " Aa; members of the best s ciery. wc have certain dignity maintain. ?Mr. Wayne, "Maintain Mr. Wayne-that's poetry," said in a tone intended to be very swee " I never knew that you made poetr before, Aunt Duraon:." ^ Aunt'Dumont was ' speechless f( some time at my audacity. The ide " that a woman of hei dignity shou? stoop to makittg rhymes. " Bertha, I must say that I am ai tdnish?d at- you. Jf you have no r< gard for our station in society, jo might have a little personal regar for me." . . " I don't s?e what I have deftre t interfere with your dignity and. sta tien in society," I answered.' . " It was all right for you to in trude yourself Upon Mr. Wayne, tc day* I suppose,'! sneered Lucia. ** Mi; Wayne asked for me," Baid,?b3ushing hotly. " So he did," answered Amit Du mont. " Of .course, knowing tha you were ar relative of the family, h was ebliesd'to do that." "You mean, I suppose," I said bifterly, "thal he asked after mi merely out of politeness, and' that hi d:d not come to see me ; and be eau st I, Bertha Crawford," a poor relative came in and talked to^ him a few minutes, I compromised your sta *d ing in society and your dignity ? It that it?". The shot told. Aunt Dumont said ao more, and Lucia fell to reading her novel. When my father died, he left his .property, small, it is true, but still enough to live on quite comfortably, in Aunt Dumont's care. She was to keep me, and give me au'education. gj?| education ehe had gi wa ttt, ot it was just as cheap to keep m< boarding school as at home, aud th I was out"of the way. . But after education was considered " finish? I was given to understand thai property was used up. This I ki was false, because my exppnses w faw aid simple, and what had h l^ft me at my father's death was m than sufficient to Rupport me. I was used UP. it had been used some other nuroocp than my beni The lifp I led was far from bein pleasant one. You can readily 'Wstsnd that., from what little sight I have given you into it. ( Mr. W?iynp called again in a 1 days. I was in my room when came in, and did not?go down, he asked for me, they probably t bi rn" I was out.

One day he called, and Rosa cai up to inform me that he was aski for one. She had be?n dusting! piano, and heard him. They h told him that I was unwell. I resolved . to turn the tables them, and went down. "Good mormqg, Mr. Wayne." ?aid in my blandest manner, not pi tending to .notice the angry looks Aunt Dumont or the frowning face Lucia. " I was sorry to hear that yi were not weil," he said, in his st and pleasant voice. "I was never better in my life," said. " I don't see how you gob tl impression that I was .sick." He evidently mistrusted how ma tere stood, and was wisely silent. I couldi/t help stealing sly glanc at Lucia occasionally, for he hard >poke to lier after I came in. Id not try t-> keep him away from he He devoted himself to me bf bis ov free will. I wondered why. Cou 'it be possible that he cared for me My heart gave a great throb at tl thought. It would be very sweet beloved by some kind, true heai Since father died, love had pass? me by. By-and-byj he took his departur and I knew by Aunt Dumont's bris ling plumes that she wis on the wa path. " I am shocked at your b'ddne. and effrontery," she began. M Wayne hn? the same as declared h .intel, .on ij parrying your consi and you intrude yourself upon hit and force him to pay his attentioi .wholly to you, knowing that he mu neglect Luciarin doing so." <: Perhaps she wants him herself, said Lucia, scornfully. I shouldn wonder." "Is that the reason why you fore yourself upon his notice?" demande Aun* Dumont." ,: Are yon reall ?lying to win him away from his al legiance to Lucia ?" " 1 am not trying to win him froi his allegiance to Lucia." I answerer with curling lips. " I have neve forced myself upon his attention. 1 he sees fit to talk with me irs becaus he wanks to. 1 have never tried t catch him for a husband,"' and I look <"i at Luci-..

" How long has Mr. Wayne beei here ?" asked Aunt l?uinont, coining directly into the parlor. .'Two or three'hours," I answered " He asked foi us, of course." " .He did not," I answered.

" Bertha 'Crawford, I am ashamed of you," said Aunt Dumont. " I am positively certain, from what I have seen, that you are laying plans to win Mr. Wayne away from Lucia. ' You are acting a base, ungrateful part. You do not care how- much you wound Lucia's feelings, provided you carjy your- point.

Clover is'a great institution, t value of which is not a6 folly undi stood as lt should be. The-field f its development is the prairies of t West, where the fertility of the si is annually depreciating, for want raanurial matter, to supply the dra that is made upon it. When there is little stock in pr portion to the-number of acres cult vated; and that little is not stable in the Winter, a large amount manure cannot Be saved to enrich tl broad .fields of corn and wheat. Wh shall be done ? Two-thirds of tl fertility, so far as wheat ia concerne is lost already. Soils that a fe years since yielded thirty-three bus! els now yield eleven. The remec is forthcoming'just when it is wanta a''d experience is teaching how use it. It is wonderful how natu: keeps her treasures stored up uni the necessities of man compel him seek for them. Coal has been bu ric in the bosom of the earth until ma wants to convert water into stean and iron ore into rails and ships, an now he finds it cropping out all ov< the earth. The fertility accumulated in tl: virgin soil.has sufficed for one goner; tion, and now the little brown clove seed has been given to furirsh m? chinery by which the elements < fertility may be absorbed from tL atmosph?re, and pumped out of th earth to supply the .nts of anothc generation. On most lands four c five pounds of clover seeds and tw or three hundred, pounds of plaste to an acre, will, in a little more tha a year, if fhe soil is tolerably gooc be converted into two tons of th very beet hay.

We should like to see all the roots from an acre . of thrifty clover washed and shook out, dried and thrown into a heap. Would there be two .tons of them-as< much as there is of the plants above ground ? If so, these four or five pounds of oeed would have drawn from the air and the ground four tons of solid matter, ready to be rot ted down into riant food for the crops that are to follow. Not only has this amount of manu rial matter been prep?red, but the soil has been bored and loosened in all directions so that the air could penetrate it, and warm it,, and aet upon the mineral matter it contains^ j This soil is then in a very different j conda ion (rea what it, was ?;U the s .'._ . ?_j clover seed was sown.

We must raise clover The Profits of Steep Masband in flip Soulh. . I have intended for sometime, g ing y op a sljort article on. my favi ite hobby, Merino TSheep, but cc eluded to waif. Until alter we h shorn our sheep, so that I could spe from the facts of the profits of t sheep business. From the close of lambing til last year, we had about th'ree hu dred 6h?ep, consisting of what 1 consider full blood, (as thev were c scended on both sides from she brought.-from the North.) high grad and all sorts,' down to a 'few iii blood. These sheep, were ?pastur on uncultivated fields just as th I were left to rest, without apy preps ation, ?ntil the corn fields were ope erl in the falls. They were winter on tu. nips, cotton seed and barb straws, with an occasional turn on tl fall oats and barley, when the lal was dry enough, which was not ve often, as the winter was usually rain The lambs were dropped in Decei ber and January, when they, wi 1 their duros, were allowed the run a clover field, part of each clear dry day. Our g^a'ss came in untie ally fate last spring, so that we lu to feed longer than usua?, but I a confident that our sheep have cost i not over one dollar a head for 'tl entire year from May to May, ineli sive of lambs, their feed is includt with their dams. In May we sheared two bund rc and seventy-three, (the flock- havir been reduced by sales, deafh ar mutton, to that number,) yieldir sixteen hundred and eighty-foi pfbnnds, (1684 lbs.,) over six pouni . each, and we have aboutone hnudre and t wenty-five lambs. These la ml are worth twice the cost of keepin the flock ; but say they pay expense we certainly have the wool and rm nure, clear, and the latter is quite a item, to us, worth, I think, one hut dred dollars. Although this is muc more than we make in any other wa; in proportion " to investment andi; bor. yet it is not no to the full capac i ty of a full blooded, flock. While common sheep will only give yo from one-and-a-half to three pound of coarse wool, t?.eir ht m bs by heav fleeced Merino rams, will about dor Wc the yield of their dams, and grad nally increase in weight ?ind value n they grade np to the Merino. IV sheared twelve rams, eight of whir ?vere smali yearlings, which average ten pounds, varying from eight t twelve and three quarters. I men ticjn these details, to show what Ira been done here, on what may be call erl old field pasture in summer, will tolerable fair care and feed in' win ter. Most of the labor*has been dam by my two little sons, under thirteei years old, and myself. During lamb ing time they need almost constan attention day and night. Nearly al that work I did myself; if I needer assistance, these boys render?d*it. I our other crops would'do as well, w< might count en some money nexi fall,, but from present prospects, haw ing had-no rain for two monjhs, ] f ar*the wool will have to help oui the cotton*. This is fine weather foi sheep-a dry year for fat sheep furnishing an? additional reason' in favor of diversifying our crops. I seeDiir ?mitual friend, Col. Aiken, gives in th,e May number o'f ^he Bu ral 'Carolinian, his plan for castrating la/nbs, and calls for criticisms j .to which I will respond, as the plan is liable to very grave objections, as he exposes his lambs twice to great dan ger, first, by waiting until the testi cles are well developed, which in creases the ?risk greatly, and then from the lateness of the season the flies are sure to blow them, unless some preventive is applied ?v?ry dny until they are well. But these diffi culties may ?be aveided by perform ing .the operation at the proper age, say from three to ten days old, the earlier the better, then there is very little risk, ahd,as they usually come in the winter, there are no flies to blow them. There is no ^particular skill necessary, the great matter is to be. expeditious. We avoid doing anything that will put blood on a sheep in the summer or warm weath er, for the blow-Ay has a peculiar fondness for the blood c*f sheep, and will attack them on every occasion. Should it become nee ssary, however, at any time during the warm season to perform this, or any other opera tion on a sheep, constant attention with turpentine will keep off the fly. .Many a sheeDi dies^fj-om maggots after being'" sitgbfly Bitten by a dog, that could be easily save$ with ?prop er atwntion aad ca** ! : il . (ul, I ? ? We usually-cut off the tails of our lambs as early as practicable, but don't like to perform both the opera tions at the same time, as it is too greata fax orf the vitality of the lamb, to do all at once. For cutting off the tails .1 use a small pair of hedge shears, the kind that only cuts from one side, the other side furnish ing a guage for the length of the part left, pressing the skin towards body before you close the shears, when the tail is severed at a single stroke. We have the cheapest sheep pas tures I ever saw", all things consider ed, and every farm should at llast have a small flock. Suppose every farmer would just grow wool enough to buy his guano, what an- immense saving "it would b'e to the country . These flocks would increase both in< numbers and esteem until there would be no use for any other fertilizer on the farm.

The Hon. Elizur Wright, who is iidjuitted to be thc greatest Insurance Mathematician and Actuary in America, congratulating The Brooklyn upon this new and distinctive feature, says, among other things, " I am. particularly pleased by. your departure in the right direction from the ordinary method of Computing the Surrender Values." "One ot? the great est drawbacks to the popularity of Life'Insurance, has been the disap pointment and dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at the smallness of thc surrender value paid," &c. "All this would have been prevented by a distinct statement on thc Ibl'icy,'rn'advance, of Ike sum to bc paid." This statement, it wiU be eeeji, The Brooklyn makes in dollars and cents, SQ that there (can be ne] mistake! . ...'.' \ i . . Read tfliat imitfrerii Papers Say of f?is f??t?re ?
