With one terrible look he seemed to any, '?Jfyou lovo Arthur Ainaton better thau you do me, I will kill him." Eliza got up and walked to the door, to Hfjc if bIio could catch a glimpse of the retreating form of the man the had come to ?igard as her evil genius, in stead of an afftanoed husband. nDUt d,.. iwk... kuJtijM -V._l.j_ pored to herself, ' the danger which threatens him.

As ehe foil upon the bed the prayer, "JMay Heaven protect him !" escaped hor ,,|>>, bSH *?* The poor creature sobbed here for hour*. Oooe a servant same to her door sad inquired the cause of bar grief. ?'Nothing," Eliza replied. "Hawfsthst come yet t" she asked. ?Receiysqg a uegntire response, she Agate buried bar face in the pillow. Falker! What, did sbo want with (hit mati at triat time T He didn't care bow much her heart suffered. A laugh, or shrug of the shoulders with a bitter "humph," use all aha could elicit, if the IMaoy, many tunes had she pleaded with hlut Ml rain. Loog before eh? eaw Arthur Ainston sho had declared tc her hard hearted and inexorabte father that if he forced her into a marriage with Henry, aha would die of sorrow. -You only think ao," would be hit invariable reply. But notwithstanding he? recollection of all these, she thought that if she could meet huj at tbat moment, and show him her face and hair ell bathed in tears that had been wrung from her bj his cruelty, that he would relent. He never came home, however, until late, and Elisa declining supper, had fal len inio a dreamy slumber. Ever and anon, during her sleep, her limbs would contract, at if moved by some awful dream, and she would say, "Do Arthur fly lH To these exclamations in her sleep, her father's attention was called. He stood by the door and listened for a few momenta when his ears were greeted with these words, from his al most heart-broken daughter: "If he kills him, the sin will rest upon my father's bead." A loug aad heavy drawn sigh fol lowed this sentence. The old gentleman discovered that she was asleep, and said nothing to her. But "If be kills him, tbe sin will rest upon my father's heed" still rung in his cars, and he immediately sum moned a servant to ascertain who had been there that evening. Tho intelligence ho gained was that n young geutlcmau, a stranger, had visi ted^tho house first, and that Mr. Henry came directly alt?*r he left. '?WJbat kind of a looking man wee tho stranger ? " queried old Mr. Buyer. 'T doii't know exactly sir," answered the servant. <*l didn't look at him closely." ''Did Elisa meet him in the parlor ?" "Yee, fir." "How loug did they remain there ?" '?About an hour, nr." "What time afterwards did Mr. Hen ry come ?" "Not long, sir." "Did yeu see him and Ehxa togeth er." ; ??Yct, sir?" "Did you hear them say anything about the stranger ?" "I bolicvc I did, sir. I think Nif Henry left the parlor very much put out about his call on Miss Elisa. He left the parlor in a "hurry, and said he would do something, I forgot now, with that gen tleraan before be would visit Mise Elisa again.*" "What?" demanded the old gentle man, in surprise. "Has Mr. Henry and Elisa bad another quarrel ?" "I don't know, sir. I only tell you what I beard," replied the cautious ser vant. Eliza's father here leaned his bead for ward on bis hands, and seemed to be ab sorbed lor a moment or two In deep I He appeared to be mentally debatiog some important question. Directly, rising np, be said to the ser vant : "Go and Uli Elite that I want he* in my room in fifteen minutes. Tell her no excuse fill do, as I have important matters to speek with her about." The servant bowed in obeisance and retired. "I wonder," said the old gentleman to himself, "if that girl hasn't fallen in love with some ball-room dandy again f I'll tee Henry to-morrow end have this thing brought to a close. It gives me too much trouble. Tbe girl it always harassing me to death about not loving him. So upon the whole, it were wise to have tbe affair settled at on op. ' Hen- i ry's ways era against him, and I don't be lieve Klin will love him any eettef un til after they ate married, if thee. 1 will prepare her miod for itto-night." Tan* (be *^a?'& t*i, M W*Aj9 Elisa argued with hinjaalf. \ He knew Elba did not love the roan ho had selected for her, bat that wee ft matter mt anaall consequence to him. He was rich. He thought after the wanner of Pe truohio, of one "wedded wealthily, then it mutt be happily.'' In bit selfish calculations, end longings alter tbe things of this world, it seems that Eliza's father had forgotten that the goods of this earth could not supply tbe place of lore. He imagined, cr tried to uialte himself believe rather, that if he married bis daughter to ft man as rieh aa herself, tbat they must neeeesarily be hs )j. But how mistaken. Elisa Boyer would have preferred Arthur Ainston with tin poverty of Iras, r en Irish mine, (one of which it ia said yields just ore enough to swear by, or gild ft bad guinea,) to Cladies Henry with ike wealth of Croesus. She loved tbe former for the wealth of hb heart, for bb nobleness of soul, linked with many other prepossessing qualities. Although she had not had the advan tage of a long and intimate acquain tance with him, yet she was satisfied that he possessed all the qualities with which her heart had invested him. But aa Elba is about ready to obey her father's command, and as this chap ter b getting unusually loug, we will briug it to a close, and record What transpires at the interview in chapter fourth. t.UAFTJBU IV. Aa EHca catered her father's room ... ? she bade him good evening, with e kbs, es was her wont. Tho old gentleman pulled off hb spec tacles and laid them aside r?ith a paper which he bad boon reading, and told his daughter to sit down. ''Elisa," he said, after the lapse of a tew moments, "I s nt for you to ask an explanation of words I heard you utter a while ago when asloep, and of the purport, j of the call of the atrangcr who visited yon this evening in the parlor. 1 want you to tell me all, without the slightest eva sion." "Father," responded Elba, "there was no use ft r yon to ssy 'without evasion,' tor you ' I tell you, t shall speak the trctl u know I have never in my life to It1 oua story." "I know that Elba; but yeur mind appears to be very much troubled shout something, end I desired to impress upon yon the importance of unburdening all of your thoughts to me. Who was the gentleman that celled on you this even ing?" "Mr Arthur Ainstou end Mr. Henry," replied Elisa. "What was the object of tho former's visit f " continued to interrogate the old gentleman, watching with all hb eyes for the effect bis questions would have upon hb daughter. "Don't yon remember father that I told yon this morning that I got acquain ted with a Mr. Ainston last night at the City Hall?" "I believe I do; but did that give him a Uses** to vbit yon ? " "No sir. But ho imagined that he had insulted me and as he was going awsy to night, ho wr ?te me a note beg ging just a few minutes interview with me, to ask my pardon." "How did he insult you?" "He did not do so father, but from tbe manner in which I treated him, for attempting to compliment me, I suppose he thought he bad done so." "Why then did you permit him to vbit you? " "Because be importuned me so seri ously."' "Well, to make this interview short Elten, I want te* tetl you that I know all that transpired between you, aad besides, \ krjow of the manner in which Boyer always W tf?l?tj3 dtrsutfy ?fter; an j T wepkj. ion to tell me what you meant by such conduct." Eliza in this time bad begun crying, and ihn only ropljf her father got for some time consisted of sobs. She was unedqj$fted in the Bit of the deceptions, practiced in this world, and she thought thaV.VrKoQ hor father told her ho knew nil, it was really so. She intended to toll him tho next morning, nnd uow because she had gone to sleep and did .pot remain up to inform him of what had transpired, that night, she feared thatlM might believe she thought of disse^Dliag with him. She had nevo$ dscoived ber father, and the Mist impulse of tho thought thst bIio had inadvertantly given him cause to believe, that sfia^tras disposed to do so, grieved her Start deeply. Ilence hor tcKis "1 havu't time'to rritness a tableau," said her father, "and tyrant yon to-dry up your tears atttMpwarar a*v question*/' Sho stopped Jrying sufficiently long to murmur, "EajfcerT I wouldn't jattrtiu 4T know you wouldn't ray daughter," snid tho old ^cutjecian softly,somewhatre gretful of the harsh manner in wbieh ho had spoken to Eliza. Sho sccuied to take confidence from his loot words, and ruined ber hand from her handkerchief aud said, "What is it you want um to toll you firat fath rr '! ' '?What AiiiaVcn suiil Jo you," w.ib tho reply. . ? i-M '?He commoted by a?king ana to forgive him fJnj^j|jJka did l**t eight, and wher* l }\v i ?l;r.the had not offene cd me, he said that he traa going home to b? Jrhf, aud that Im would take advat tage of the opportunity, and tell me that ho loved me." Fn to curtail onr atory, we will hurry along by saying that Eliza related to her lather almost verbatim what transpired at Loth c f the iutoi views. She '"id not deviate whatever from what happened ; told her father precise ly what Arthur said to her; what she suid to Lim j and than ot the interview betwecu herself and Henry later in the evening. Old Mr, Uojef tut perfectly still all the while. Different shades colored hts tact at times; but otherwise he was as still nod firm as a atatue. After Eliza got through, she looked more wistfully at b<?r father than ever be fore, aud said : "Now father, I. have told you all ; have not evaded a single thing,?and tell mo, have I acted in a man nor which you do nut approve ?'' "You have," was spoken od firm and decided tones. "How father?" was the anxious girl* inquiry. "You kuow, Eliza, as well as I do," tho old gentleman spoke in a manner that showed he was still bent on carrying out his former ueiei ... jus are betrothed to Mr. Henry; that he has been waiting for you to grow old enough to learn his Worth, and how to appreciate bim as your husband, for throe years; that he has made heavy outlays in fixing up his plsce to make [ you happy that I have pledged him my word to have you marry him and no one else; thaH be is rieb ; that his estates are adjoining mine; tbat yon and Jes sie are my only daughters; and as I am gettiug old I want yotf married to some one who will take eare of you, and upon whom I can bestow my rioheS with an assurance tbat it will be taken care of, aud used for the purpose of making these I lore happy. For these reasons, I long ago, aye, even before your mother died, determined to, sake you tho wife of Mr. Henry, and 1 am surprised at your persistency in re fusing a willing aeqniescenne in the plan?. Mr. Henry loves you j and if you do not krvo fcim now, I mm satisfied jou will af ter awhile. Any how yon are my child, and I am not disposed to see yon throw yourself away. A parent knows what ia best for hb children, and often must do things to seen re their happiness which may seem to them rather like a sacrifice. Now 1 don't want any words from yon to-night. I waqt yon to promise me that yon will forget this nondescript youth, Ainston, and I will see Mr. Hen ry and explain your conduct to him ; and when he calls to-morrow, you make the proper explanation yourself: for he mutt be your husband." "But father I do not love him," mur mured Eliza. "(Jo to your room now, and remember to observe what I have told you, as you regard my wishes," exclaimed Mr. Boycr in rather ha ran tones. "I regard your wbbes father, and in obedience to them I hare tried to lore Mr. Henry and I can out. Will yon make me marry him any how ? If I thought so, I would welcome death to-uight, not that I am tired of you, but to escape a living one with a man whom I cangnever respect, much less love.". Elba uttered these words as earnestly as she could. She knew that it would be her hist say that night, and she want ed to make good use of it. "Go to your room, Elba/' comman ded Mr. Boytr. The poor heart-broken ereatnre bade him good night, awxt bctoook herself, with a heart beary with sorrow, to her chamber. [CONTINTF.I) JX OUR 3 EXT ISSLX ] "tTkat I Kno about Pharm!?." What l Lno about phsrmin is kuased little. Mi buxrum friend, Horace Gree ley, baa rit a book with the abuv name, and altho i haven't had time to pcrooso it, yet I don't hesitate to prenounce it bully. Pharmin (now dase) b pretty much all theory, and therefore, its astonishing that a man kan live in New York aud bo a good chancery lawyer, and kno all about pharmin. A pharm (now dase) of one hundred akors will produce more buckwheat and pumpkins, run on theory, than it would six years ago, run on manure and hard knoks. There is nothing like bock laming, and tbe time* will eventually come when a man wont fcav tow bav only ono of "9oflh Billings' Farmers' Almanax," to run a pharm, or a kamp meeting with. Eton now it ain't nwkoramon tew sc three of foot hired men, ow a pharm, with three or four spans of oxen, all standing still, while the boss goes into the library, and reads bbaself for the day's plowing. If I was running a phainr, (now dase) I suppose I would rather hav 30 bush els ov some new breed ov patotoes rased on theojy, then tew hav 84 bushels got in the mean, bekuighted aud underhand way ov our late lamented grand parents. Pharmin, after all, b a good deal like the tavern bissiness, enny boky tbiuka tbey kan keep a hotel (now date,) and enny body thinks they kan pharm it (now date) and they kant but this b the ? t. ?W?t rvior hotels cum tew be so plen ty, and thb is likowbe what makes pharmin such ensy ssrd profitable bisti ooes Just tako the theory out of pharmin, and there ain't nothin left, but hard work, and fired little krope. When I see so match pholks rushing into theory pharmin, as there b (now desto,) and so menny ov them rushing out agin, i think ov that remarkable !. piece ov Skriptur, which remarka, "men ny are oalled, bat few are ohoson." I oust took a pharm on shares miself, and run hor on some theories, and the thing figured op this way, i dam all the werk, phurabhed all the teed and ma nure, bad tbe ague 9 months out ov 12, i for mi share ov tbe profits, end the other pbellow paid the taxes on the pharm for hb share. By mutual konaent i quit the pharm at the end ov the year. What I know about pharm-in ain't worth bragging about, and i feel it my duty to state, for tbe benefit ov my break ten, that H they ever e ape hi me to pay five ccuta on a dollar, they wasn't at*Wa*erWsjn* frotajma-al paarssr? ?an-1 If r ruan really i* anxious tew malte munny on a pharm, ttoles* inoory fee lay a to the bette??! and ho nrt.t do pretty mach all the work bitself, and awppa)rt hii family on wbot be ksn sell, and go ragged euufF oil the time to hunt boos. I kno of meany farmers who are so afflicted with superstition that they wont plant * aingle bean only in the last quar ter uv the moon, aod I kno others so pregnant with science that they wont set a gat* post until they hare hsd the ground analirod bi sum professor of ana tomy tew see if the earth bsz got the right kind of ingredienee for post holes. Th's is what i call running acieue* in to tho ground. Tho fact ov it is that theories of all kinda work well except in praktiss; they as* too often designed to do the work of praktiss. They ain't no theory in breaking a mule only to go at him with n club in your hand and asss Mood im your eye, and break bin, just as you would split a log. What i kno about pharm'n aiwYwnth ssnch enny bow, but i undertook to brake ? kkjkSiig heifer one*. I Mast a treaties on the subjekt and phollowcd the direckshuns eluss, and I got knokt endwoxe in about 5 minu?. I then act down and thought the thing over. I made up my mind that the phellow who wrote the treatise was more in the treatise bissinea* than be was in the kicking heifer trader. I cum to the konklnahun that what he knu shout milking kicking heifers he had lent* bi lean in over* barnyard fence and writing the tbinfr trp>. I got up from my reflekshuns strength ened, and went for that heiler. I will draw a veil over the language I used, and the thing* I did, but I went Inr to w*t?, snd woo 1 ., TfiWt, U?ifW ent*e? bekvTtu a cow. Thw a* oner way to break a kicking heifer, after a man has studyed aril the books in the kresnhno on the subject, and tried them on, he will run back onto mi plan, and make up his mind, as i did, that n kicking heifer is worth more for best" than ahe is for theoretic milk. I have worked on a pharm just long enuff tu kno that the there is no prayers so good for poor land as manure, aud no theory kan beat 12 hours each da (sun dsse excepted) of honest labor applied to the site. I am an old-phashioned phellow, and hartly hate most fiti tbingSy because I bar been beat by them so offen. I net** knu" * pharm that was worked pretty much by theory but what wax for sail or tew let in a few years, and I never knu n pharm that Was wWrhcd sit manure and terttakte, ott the good old ignorant Way of onr ancesters, but what was handed dWn farm father to son, and al ways was noted for raising brawny-armed boys and boson* Issue", and fast fat* po tatoes. What I kno about pbarmin is nothing trat experience, and experience now das* ain't wuth a kuss. I had rather hnv a good look-in theory tow ketch ffates with, than the expe rience even of Methusler. Experience is a good thing to fay down and die with, but yu kaut do no business with it (now dase:) it ain't hot ennff.

That man is a maniac, a deliberate suicide, who drinks tea, coffee, or ardent spirits of any hind to itfdoochim to per form a work in haud, and when he feels too weak to go through with it without such aid. This is the reason that a ma jority of great orator* and public favo rites die drunkards. The pulpit, the bench, the bar, the forum, have contrib uted their legions of viotiros to drunken habits.
