CHAPTER III. ^n^shutting the door behind him, his eyes caught Eliza's. With one terrible look he seemed to say, "If you lovo Arthur Aioston better than you do me, I will kill him." Eliza got up and walked to the doov, to' s^e if she could catch a glimpse of the retreating form of the mao she had coins |o regard as her evil genius, in stead of sn affianced husband. ?Oh 1 that A AKsm fr?? " -u: pered to herself, ,:the danger which threatens Ulm. Bo might flee snd es cape Mr. Henry's wrath." So saying our fair heroine closed the <door and went to her room. As ahe fell upon the bed the prayer, "jMay Heaven protect him !" escaped her lips, The poor oroaturo sobbed here for hours. Once a .servant name to her door and inquired the cause of her griof. ^'Nothing," Elisa replied. "Has father come yet t" she asked. Iteceiviog a negative response, ahe t\?Mb$&lf her face in the pillow. Father! What did she want with this mah at that time? He didn't oars bow much her heart buffered. A laugh, or shrug of tho shoulders with a bitter "humph," was all she could elicit, if she had gone .4? hum. Nsny, many tines* had ehe pleaded with him iu v;?in. Long before eh? nw Arthur Aiuston she had declared to her hard hearted and inexorable father that if he forced her into a marriage with Henry, ahe would die of sorrow. "You only think bo," would be his invariable reply. But notwithstanding her recollection of all these, she thought that if she could meet him at tbat moment, and show him her face and hair all bathed in tears that bad been wrung from her by his cruelty, that he would relent. He never came home, however, until I late, and Elisa declining supper, had fal lou into a dreamy slumber. ! Ever end anon, during her sloep, her limbs would contract, as if moved by some awful dream, and she would say, "Do Arthur flyl" To these exclamation* in her sleep, ber father's attention was oallod. He stood by the door sod listeued for a few moments when his ean were greeted with these words, from his al most hcart broken daughter : "If he kills him, the sin will rest upon my father's head." A loug aud heavy drawn sigh fol lowed this sentence. The old gentleman disoovcrcd that she was asleep, and said nothing to her. But "If be kills him, the sin will rest upon my father's head" still rung in his cars, and he immediately sum moned a scrvaut to ascertain who had been there that evening. The intelligence he gained was that u young geutlcmnu, a stranger, had visi tedatho house first, and that Mr. Henry came directly alter he left. ' WJiat kind of a looking man wee the stranger ? " queried old Mr. Buyer. "1 don't know exactly sir," answered the servant. UI didn't look at him closely." "Did Eliza meet him in the parlor ?" "Yes, sir." "How long did they remain there?" "About an hour, sir." "What time afterwards did Mr. Hen ry come ?" "Not long, sir." "Did you see him *nd Eliza togeth er." ; ??Ycs, sir?" "Did you hear them say anything about the stranger ?" "I believe I did, air. I think MrJ Henry left tke parlor very much put out about his eall on Miss Eliza. He left the parlor in a'hurry, and said he would do something, I forget now, with that gen tleman before he would visit Miss Eliza again" "What?" demanded the old gentle man, in surprise. "Has Mr. Henry and Eliza had another quarrel ?" "I don't know, sir. I only tell you what I heard," replied the cautious ser vant. Eliza's father here leaned his head for ward on bis hands, and seemed to be ab I porbed tor a moment or two in deep j J He appeared to be mentally debating some important question. Directly, rising up, he said to the ser vant : "Go and tell Eliza that I want her in my room in fifteen minutes. Tell her no excuse fill do, aa I have important matten to speak with her about." Tbe aervaot 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 dsudy again ? I'll see Henry to-morrow and have this thing brought to a eloae. It gives me too muoh trouble. The girl is always harassing me to death about not loving him. So upon the whole, it were wise to have the affair settled at once. - Hen ry'a waya are against him, ami I don't be lieve Eliza will love him any better un ; til after they an married, if then. 1 1 will prepare her miod for it to-night." Tbn? the ?ther of tho ?ir and lovilyJ Elisa srgued with huarelf. He knew Siita did not lore the man Ii? had selected for her, bat that ems a matter of small consequence to him. Ha ?ras rich. m a* .*?', He thought after the manner of P?v truchio, of one "wedded wealthily, then it mast be happily." In hia selfish calculations, and longings after the things of this world, it seems that Eliza's father had forgotten that the goods of this earth could not supply the place of Ioto. He imagined, cr tried to tusks Myself believe rather, that if he married his daughter to a man as rich as herself, that they must uecessarily be happy. But how mistaken. Elisa Boyer would hsre preferred Arthur Ainston with the poverty of Irus, ? r an Irish mine, (one of which it is said yields just ore enough to awesr by> or K*td a bad guinea,) to Clsdius Henry with the wealth of Croesus. She lored the former for the wealth of his heart, for his noblenoss of soul, linked with msny other prepossessing qualities. Although sho had not had the advan tage of a long aud intimate acquain tance with him, yet sh? was satisfied that he possessed all the qualities with which her heart had invested him. But as Eliza is about ready to obey her father*s command, and an thia chap, tor is getting unusually long, we will briug it to u clofc, and record What J transpires at the. interview iu chapter fourth. vHAPTEU IV. As Elisa.entered her father's room ahe buds him good evening, with s kts*, as was her wont. Tho old gentleman pulled off his spec tacles and laid thorn asido with a paper which be had boon reading, and told his daughter to sit down. "Elisa," ho said, after the lapse of a lew momenta, "I s nt for you to ask an explanation of words I heard you utter a while ago when asleep, and of the purport I of the call of the stranger who visited yon this evening in the parlor. I want you to tell ire ail, without the slightest eva sion." "Father/' responded Elisa, "there was no use f< r yoa to say 'without evasion,' for yoa f I tell you, I shall apeak the tratl n know I have never in my life tcic" ?la a story." "I know that Elisa; but your mind appears to be very much troubled about something, snd I desired to impress upon yoa the importance of unburdening sll of your thoughts to me. Who was the gentleman that called on you thia even ing?" "Mr Arthur Ainston and Mr. Henry," replied Elisa. "What was tho object of tho former's visit T " continued to interrogate the old gentleman, watching with all his eyes for tbe effect his questions wouid UAie tfjiO?t iiiS Q?Ug?tOr. "Don't you remember father that I told yoa this moraing that I got acquain ted with a Mr. Ainston last night at the City Hsll ? " "I believe I do; but did that give him a lieense to visit yon 1" "No air. But bo imagined that ho had insulted me and as he was going swsy to night, he wr >to me a note beg ging just a few minutes interview with me, to ssk my pardon." "Howdid be insult you? " "Ho did not do so father, but from the manner in which I treated him, for attempting to compliment me, I suppose he thought he hsd done wo.** "Why then did yoa permit him to visit you? " "Because he importuned me so seri ously." "Weil, to make thia interview short Elian, I was* to tetB you that I know all that transpired between you, and besides, \ koow of the manner iu which you treated Ciau^T?li IfJ^sifcrt. Boycr always called Henry.] directly after; and I waut- you to tell me what you meant by such conduct." Eliza in this time had bogen crying, and tho only reply her iathcr got for some time consisted of sobs. She was unedSfiftcd in the art of the deceptions, praOHjbd in this world, aad she thought tha^Jrafa her father told her ho knew all, it was really so. She intended to tell him tho next morning, and now. because she had gone to sleep and did not remain up to inform bins of what had transpired, that night, sho feared that Jha might believe she thought of dissembling with him. Sho had never deceived her father, and the Gist impklse of the thought that sho had inadvertently given him cause to believe that she was disposed to do so, grieved her iS&att deeply. nence hor teBre "1 havu't time fo witness a tableau/' said her lather, "and I Want you to-dry up your tears aud answer my questions." tfho stopped crying sufficiently long to murmur, "Fflgfcef 't wouldn't deceive you." 'T know you Wouldn't ray daughter," snid the old ?cuueuiun softly, somewhat re gretful of the Sarah manner in wbieh he had spoken to' Eliza. Sho yceuicd t-j take confidence from his Io.it words, and raised her head from her handkerchief:and Said, "What is it you want mo t?i-toll yon ?r?t fath.rr '! " '?What Aim??on said to you," was tho reply. ? Uc cotamciuccU by asking me to forgive him for what ho did last night, ami when I .it^ hi -! ?hat he had uol oflor.c'ed tic, he said that he was going home to hirht, nnd that. h3 would take advai tage of the opportunity, and tell me that ho loved me." Fu' to curtail onr story, we will hurry I along by saying that Eliza related to her lather almost verbatim what transpired at both c f the interviews. She ?vid not deviate whatever from what happened; told her father precise ly what Arthur said to her; what she said to L im ; and then oi the interview betwecu herself and Henry later in the evening. Oltl Mr, Beyer rat perfectly still all the while. Different shades colored hb face at times ; but otlierwbe he was as still and firm us a stutue. After Eliza got through, she looked more wistfully at lie> father than over be fore, aud said ; "Now lather, I have told you all ; have not evaded a single thing,?aud tell mc. have I acted in a manner which you do not approve V ?'You have," was spokeu on firm and decided tones. "How father?" was the unxious girls inquiry. "You know, Eliza, as well ss I do," tho oid gentleman spoke in a manner t that showed he was still bent on carrying out his former determination, "that you are betrothed to Mr. Henry; that he has been waiting for you to grow old enough to learu his worth, and how to appreciate bim as your hnsband, for three years; that he has made hoavy outlays in fixing up hb place to make you happy ; that 1 have pledged him my word to have, you marry him and no one else; that he ia rich ; that bis estates are adjoining miue; tbat you and Jes sie are my only daughters; and as I am getting old I want you married to some one who will take care of you, and upon whom I ean bestow my riches with an assurance that it will be taken care of, nnd used for tbe purpose of making those I love happy. For these reasons, I long ago, aye, even before your mother died, determined to make you tho wife of Mr. Henry, and 1 am surprised at your persistency in re fusing a willing acquiescence ia the plan. Mr. Heary loves you ; and if you do not love him now11 aw satisfied jou will af ter awhile. Any how yoa are my oh 3d, and I am not disposed to see yoa throw yourself sway. A parent knows what is best for his children, and often must do things to secure their happiness which may seem to them rather like a sacrifice. Now I don't want any words from you to-night. I wsnt you to promise me that you will forget this nondescript youth, Ainston, and I will see Mr. Hen ry snd explain your conduct to him ; snd when he calls to-morrow, you make the proper explanation yourself: for he must be your husband." "But father I do not love him," mur mured Elisa. "Go to your room now, and remember to obser?? what I hare told you, as you regard my wishes," exclaimed Mr. Boyer in rather harsh tones. "I regard your wishes father, and in obedience to them I hare tried to lore Mr. Henry and I cannot. Will you make me marry him any how f If I thought so, I would welcome desth to-night, not that I am tired of you, but to escape a IWing one with a man whom I ennjnover respect, much less lore.". Elisa uttered these words as earnestly as she could. She knew that it would be her hist say that night, and .-he want ed to make good use of it. "Go to your room, Eliza/' comman ded Mr. Boyer. Tho poor heart-broken creator* bade him good night, amd betoook herself, with a heart henry with sorrow, to her chamber. [CONTI NT ki> is OUR 3 EXT issue.] "tlastrt I Kno about Fhanrist* What I k no about pharmin iz bussed little. Mi bussum friend, Horace Gree ley, baa rit a book with the abuv name, snd nlthv t haven't had time to perooso it, yet I don't hesitate to pronounce it bully. I'harmin (now dase) is pretty much all theory, and therefore, its as untshiug that a man kun live in New York aud bo a good chancery lawyer, and kno all about pharmin. A pharm (now daze) of one hundred akors will produce more buck-.neat and pumpkins, run on theory, than it Would sis years ago, run on manure and hard knoks. There is nothing like bock laming, and tbe time will eventually come when a man wont bar too bar only one of "9oah Billings' Farmers' Almanaz," to run a pharm, or a kamp meeting with. Eton now it ain't unkommon tew se three of four hired men, on s pharm, with three or four spans of oxen, al! standing still, while the boss goes into the library, snd reads himself for the day's plowing. If I was running a pharm, (sow dase) I suppose I would rather hav 30 bush ols ov some new breed ov patofocs rased on theojy, then tew hav 84 bushel* got in the meau, beknighted aud underhand way ov our late lamented grand parents. IMutrmin, after all, is a good deal like the tavern bizsiness, enny boky thinks tboy kan keen a hotel (now d&ze.) and (now daze) ami they ban, but this is the way that poor hotels cum tew be so plen ty, and this is likewise what makes pharmin such easy and profitable bizsi now. Just tako the theory out of pharmin, and there ain't nothin left, but hard work, and fired little krope. When I see so mutch pholks rushing into theory pharmin, ss there is (now dame,) and so raonny or them rushing out agin, i think ov that remarkable pieoc or Skriptur, which remarks, "racn ny are oallad, but few are chosen." I oust took a pharm on shares miself, and run her on some theories, and tbe thing figured up this way, i dnn all the work, phurnished all the seed and ma nure, had the ague 9 months ont ov 12, for mi share or tbe profits, and the other pbellow paid the taxes on the phnrm for bis sears. By mutual kousent i quit the pharm at tbe end ov tbe year, j What I know about phu/nwu ain't I worth brisgging about, snd i feel it my duty to statu? for tha benefit ov my i kreentem, that H they ever eapeht me to pay five cents ou a dollar, they mueu't start nie ia the theerettkal pharmin em ploy. If a man really hi anxious tew make moony on a pharm, tfe letw theory he lays ie the better, end he meet do pretty ' much all the work hisself, and support his family on what ha kan sell, snd go rsgged enuff oil the time to hunt bees. I kno of meony farmers who are so afBicted with superstition that they wont plant a single bean only in the last quar ter ut the moon, and I kno others so pregnant with science that they wont set a gate poet until they hare had the ground analirod bi sum professor of ana tomy tew see if the earth has got the right kind of ingredience for post boles. This ht whst i call running science in to the ground. Tbe fact or it ia that theories of all kinds work well except in praktiss; they are too often designed tc do the work of praktiss. They ain't no theory in breaking a male only to go et kim with a club in your hand and sum blood in your eye, and break him, just aa you would split a What i kno about pharmin ain't wnth much enny how, but i undertook to brake n kMlfeing heifer once. I iwm? e treatise on the subjekt and phollowed the direekshuns eluss, and I got knokt ecdwase in about 5 niinu?. I thon set down aed thought tbe thing over. I made up my miud that the phellow who wrote the treatise was more in the treatise bizziness than be was in the kicking heifer trade. I cam to the kooklnshua thst what he knn about milking kicking heifers he bad lease hi lean in over a barnyard fence and writing the thing, up. I got up from my reflekskuns strength ened, and went for that heifer. I will draw a rail over tho language I used, and the things I did, but I went in to win, and won! rriMt b?ifiw ***** bekenn a cow. This ?s one way to break a kicking heifer, alter a man has study od aril the books in the krettsbun on the subject, and tried them oa, he will run back onto mi plan, and make up his mind, ss i did, tbat a kicking heifer is worth more for bcif than she is fur theoretic milk. I have worked on a pharm just long euuff tu kno that the there ia no prayers so good for poor land as manure, and no theory kan beat 12 hours each da (sun dase excepted) of honest labor applied to the aile. I am an old-phashioned phellow, and hartly hate most an things, because I hav been beat by them so offen. I never knd a pharm that was worked pretty much by theory but what wax for sail or tew let in e few years, and I never knu a pharm that Wae worked bi manure and nrdsWe, on the good old ignorant way of our ancestors, but what was handed down frtrai father to son, and el Ways Was noted for raising bra wuy-armed boys and buKom Isssev and fust rate po tatoes. What I kno about pharmin is nothing but eaperience, and experience now daze aiu't wuth a kuss. I had rather hav a good look-in theory tew ketch nates with, than the cxpe | rienee even of McthusIeV.

That man is a maniac, a deliberate J suicide, who drinks tea, coffee, or ardent spirits of any bind to induce hire to per form a work in hand, and when he feols too weak to go through with it without such aid.
