I was sitting in my stUjdy, reading Moliere, when she entered the room -perfectly unannounced at that.

She smiled at me, and held out her hand. I took it mechanically. What did this mean ? She pouted, ah ! those cherry lips ! She stamped her little No. 1 impa tiently on the floor. " You don't seem, very glad to see me,'1 she said pettishly ?I murmured that I -was delighted -entranced. So I was-such vis ions were not of every day occur rence to me.

Then *h# walk ed np .and down the room. " How do you like my dress ?" she asked, revolving beforif me as if on a pivot. I murmured something about an g?l?c superbness ! " I did intend," she said, half c7ouoing4y; * to get a dress of gray satteens, with the underskirt cut as usual, and trimmed with deep plating -the spaces to be filled with bias folds above the platings, in.a band of velvet silk-the side gores rounded Up Jciur injcli^? ilpnger, Riid.'looked up in a panier.

She stood by my side in the street and looked ten times more bewitch ing than ever. We walked alone streets, and how male friends stared and wondered and envied me. We found Mr. Floyd just stepping intohi8 carriage, in front of his house. He was big, pompous and vulgar. I tapped him on the shoulder : " Your neice, Mr. Floyd," I said, and commencer! to explain, when he cut me short. "Nothing of the kind-not my neice-an adventuress, no doubt. You're a su/indler, I suppose. Drive on." I inwardly vowed to assassinate that man some dark night. My com panion grasped her pongee fiercely. " Oh, I could beat him," she said savagely.

Dear Advertiser,-After my ratur with my family from Arkansas, I wrol you on the 19th November- last, an ax count of my trip, which I suppose di not reach you. Since then I have been highly favore of the Lord in my work in Miami. Ou Church has been revived and much er couraged, in a series of meetings whic continued for three weeks, twice eau day. At its close we baptized nine tee: happy converts, which added tb th number, seventeen, which had bee baptized during the summer, mak thirty-six since I became pastor of th Church. ' ' " The Lord laid his hand upon me h your State about a year ago, and put m down in this place ; and my life has beei attended with, remarkabla displaya o his mercy from that time, to thia. O these, I have not time now, nor yoi space for an enumeration? Since November 19th, we have ha< winter indeed, at least in this part o Missouri. Our Thermometer has Btoot as low as twenty-two degrees below zero During the last four weeks our weathei has been generally somewhat milder yet freezing cold, and the fall of sub* twenty-two inches, twelve inches o which fell in one day, Jan. ?). In places it is drifted in beds to a deptt of six feet; and now the clouds and al aspects of the weather indicate more snow. The t*. oldest inhabitant" remem? bera only two snows in our State as deep as this now is ; one about seventeen, and the other about thirty-five years ago. About a'month ago our River became gorged with thin floating ice. Within forty hours from' that time, men were walking across the River on the ice, and within about three days men were dri ving two-horse teams across, and droves of hogs were crossing ; and the Miami pastor, to enjoy the novelty of crossing River on ice, felt impelled to lead his wife and babe across and back. They did not need to be led however; ice un der their feet seemed so much like a rock that they began at once to move with perfect sang-froid. Now, the ice is safe for any common team, and much hauling is done on it. ^Walking or riding over_U1you. would imagino thafrHCB RlVCrTs a HO ice ; but no, you might see squads of men in various directions cutting ice, kt us turn aside and see. Some men are scraping and piling up snow ; some are running cross-cut saws, ono end down in the River, and some with ice-hooks arc pulling the great blocks from the water as they arc flonted down by the rapid current to the end of a long gap which has been made by taking out the ice. These blocks aro about two and a half feet long and sixteen inches square. We ask, is it possible that this ice is only sixteen inches in thickness, and one of the men replies "Yes, hore in the current, near the edge it Ls not moro than two feet thick." Where men are thus cutting, tho water of the River is within half an inch of the top of the ice. The men stand, and even the wagons pass near its edge. We express surprise that such loads do not break otf the ice, and our attention is called to six loads of ice gotten up and laid near the edge, and we are told that if we were to, pile six loads more there, it would not crack the solid sheet of ice on the water. What a trip the waters of that old Riv er are making now, from Montana to St. Louis-further than from me to you, under that great sheet of ice ! An old Confederate would call this "going into winter-quarters," a thing which many of us.as soldiers desired long, but did not live to see. I and Mrs. H. and Lula are quite well. Very truly yours, V E. W. HORNE. MIAMI, Mo., Jan. 17, 1873. Bear Advertiser,-A friend in your County writes to me under date Dec. 31, saying, " Wo hear of your burnlug corn for fuel out West. This staggers us very much in our poor plnoy-woods." Jn conversation with a friend this, morning, I mentioned this, and he pre sented me with the following, which he says he clipped from tho "Kansas City Time? : Cora for Fuel. [? rom Council Bluffe (Iowa) Nonpariol, Dec. 5.] Wc are glad to seo that many of our citizens are taking advantage of tlie low price of born to lay in heavy Supplies af it for fuel. We have oxpori in en ted wi th it the last week, and fina that it is an ad mirable substitute for (both wood and coal, and that at present ?trices there is both economy and comfort in its use. A toa of <?rjB. 33' buahelSj^at 17 cents per bushel, is $5 00. We consider this equal to a cord of hard wood, as supplied and mei-8tired in -our market, at $7 ,* tho cutting of this-'cord; VH fof tot* $8?0. Thus makinga saving of nearly $3 acord. For k: tchou fuel it Ls superior to wood, except hickory, and cheaper than that. It makes a very hot fire with a great deal of blaze. We judge that three tons of corn are equal to the heat of one ton of hard cos.l, while In economy of its use it. ia equal to one and a half tons' of coal. In small families and small houses there . is ni ways great waste of hard coal, while there is none In the use of corn. Besides this, there is the public benefit of retain ing in the country all the money we send to Po un sylvan ia for coal, and feed our farmers by consuming their products. Corn i? being delivered in 'Miami how at 20 cts per bushel, and men tell me that if we could have some good weather for hauling,, we could have'.' lt delivered at the price named above-17 cts. per bushel. In.respect to fuel, .wc. possess two dc cided strongholds in advance of our neisrhbor at Council Bluffa, and these we consider perfectly impregnable. First, we are living on a bed of coal of excel lent quality, and therefore never fend money W.r^rmsylvardafo^fn??} B?cptod, The River bottom adjacent to our town ls literally foil of large timber, and it of best quality for fuel-oak, ash?, hickory, artfwftinut; ;, .' ' . > , ' Some improvident man, caught ina spell of bad weather, without fuel, may j go to his corn-crib tor something dry and j convenient, ibr. a few days, but with this exoeption yon waly be eil re we will not burn corn for fuel in Miami. ' , M j ! I am not ai all stagger od, however, but .tm fully, prepared to loam, and to teach others, that a maa living in, a vast prai rie, rich enough to produce three tons of corn per acre, whole pinn tn tion^gf which do not produce one cord of wood, where he must send across three states fdr coal, may burn corn foriuel, and may at the same time think he is not a great sinner in so doing. ,. 'j* Three tona per acre, shuck and cob in cluded, as corn is brought from the land, would present but a moderate estimate for zieh prairie ; and wooi^ cost, deliv ered at my wood-pile, about $7. per ton. Now to a man living onour poor piney woods," mentioned by, ?ry. friend-our mutual friend-it would appear sinful to bum corn, but would not he like to have U poured down on his heaps of compost at the rate of. cost mentioned above? ' After 'all, which would be worst, fo de compose corn In this way^pr by fire ? j .^y"e|l, " circumstances alter cases." Talking of what g(?j^.feather might' bring about, remmds'mepf whatl wrote j you tn my^ last about ouij^pry ,eoldwin-' ter, and tho Missouri River flowing un der a sheet of ice longer^than from me to' you. Let- m fl be i n Uttla ? anora definite, t ! From Fort Benton, la Montana, to St. Louie la 8112 miles. Add to this 40 miles j above to the head of navigation, and about. SOO miles below to Cairo, , .and you, have ; the length of ice on the .navigable part of the stream* without consideringthe hun dreds, of miles from tho;head of naviga tion to the head of the etream. Now add 861, distance from St Louis to New Or leans, to 8112, and 40 above, and you find that our stream ls navigable. for a dis tance of four thousand four hundred, miles. These distances aro taken from a steam-boat schedule. * | ? . Very truly, yours, Ev;W. HORNE. Brevities and Levities. The editor of the.-.

Th?- building df "? fend?, eluding the splitting and^hauliri the rails, is a tax upon 'the' cs j and labor of the' farmer, equal,'1 eatimated',' to'atrleast one-third of market value of our ?verage co: landa. The mon?y and work 1 expended would, if applied to cultivation of the land, increase, a very large, per cent?ge, both area cultivated and ' the product thereof. 2d. Vast 'bodies"of arable Ja that are' now untilled' for want fencing timber,, and' for which, that account, there is no .sale,"'wo then find ready purchasers among agricultural laborera? and be yield plentiful harvests,-thus cheapen many of the necessaries Of lire, i adding' to the wealth Of the State. 3d. To require the farmer to fe out hie neighbor's etock, instead requiring the owner of the atock fence it in, is a palpable act of inj tice, and a monstrous instancaspf : ly in a State whose wealth is agrie tural, and depends almost entir on tillage, ana not on pasturage. Why should I be required to bu a fence around my farm, at a hes cost, in order to keep my nejghbc cow out of my growing crop, wi I derive no' benefit from that cow ? Why should his propertv, consi ing ot a few roving animals', be m< sacred in the eye of the law th the few acres, fi om which, by indi trioua toil, I derive my daily brea . 18 it not just and fair,'thai eve man should be. required 'to exerci j^sxmaUejCare for hie own p;:opert and not aubject ma neigntfor-ccns; cost to prevent that property becoi ing the means of injury to any otb 'clasa of property ? 4th. The fences themselves occu] a considerable portion of the clean land, thus reducing the cultiv?t! area. 5th. In proportion as the demar for fencing timber exhausts the suj ply of trees in any locality, the pri< of wood for fuel increases, which a consideration of great moment in country where there is no develoj ment of strata of coal. 6th. Science and experience unit to pro verbat, in regions where th forests are being exhausted, the fa] of rain is proportionally lessenec and the lands .. re parched by lon] drought, that not only destroy vege talion, bnt, from the failure of watei prove fatal to stock of all kinds tha are permitted to run at large. I havi read that this is notably the case ii the prairie belt of Texas and New Mexico ; and I have been reliably in formed that it is strikingly exhibitec in those sections of Virginia where in the late war, the trees were de stroyed for fuel and other purposes; along the lines of military encamp ments. . . ' -- 7th. Cattle and other fctook- tan be fenced in more cheaply and se curely than th?y can be fenced ont. 8ti. The system of fencing '.n stock, whiie it lessens the original expense of establishing a farm, will tend to increase the yield per acre, by pre serving a large quantity of the nat ural manures, for application td the tilled soil. ? ?. . 9th. Enclosed pastures will tend to incite among our agriculturists the cultivation of improved grasses, and also to an improvement in the breed of stock;.in both'of which particu lars South Carolinais far behind most of her sister States. 10th. Our farmers may .be better enabled to rest their lands, by culti vating several tracta in rotation, without the necessity of fencing each, thusrecuperatingsoils that are thr?at ened witn total exhaustion by con tinuous cultivation, unaided by prop er fertilizers'. 11th. The fence law repels "the agricultural immigrants of the North am States, whose cultivated indus try and thrifty modea of farming are BO much needed in thia State, where there are three acres of arable land lying fallow for every acre there is that is tilled. That most valuable class of laborers shrink from coming into a country or State, in which, be fore they can safely runa furrow in Et fifty acre field, they must expend, in some cases, ,more money ana la bor to build a ; fence, than J ar?. re quired to build a houee wherein .to live. ? / - 12th.

The third objection, would be ob ated by driving the cattle to wati or taking the water to the stock ; by having a well and a trough in t pasture ground. ? The sum of tire" "whole nrgume against ?ftr pres?nt-disastrd?s fen system is, that all farmers are "coi pelled to: build and keep up' fenc which they do not need, because son jattle'-owners'' desire to' graze the stock on land which they do m jwn. . .I-.J(III?.
