?In ^shutting tha door behind him, his
?eyes caught Eliza's.
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.

So saying our fair heroine closed the

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

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."

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.

"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

Way of onr ancesters, but what was
handed dWn farm father to son, and al
ways was noted for raising brawny-armed

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.

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. Thd beautiful woman, the sweet
