?ibe -Strait WmU. EMUND OSGOOD; - i? , oa, THFF0BC2 OF CIBCTJMSTANCES. -:o:?'? It was a chill evening in December? a misty rain was descending, which con? gealed and encased in crystal everything exposed to the out-door atmosphere, and rendered a precarious footing upon the side-walks for the pedestrian. Upon this evening, an individual was silently and cautiously wending his way through- one of the flourishing villages of Connecticut. His-appearanee was tall and muscular? but he was so closely muffled in his cloak as to effectually conceal his features, for which the inclemency of tho weather af? forded ample apology. Ho crossed the public square, and threaded a street lead? ing southwardly from the village church until he arrived at a neat cottage, situated near the margin of tho river. Here ho paused, and casting around an inquiring glance, he approached tho door, and taking a station beneath a window, he tapped thereon?it was immediately open? ed, and a sweet and musical voice in? quired? "Who is there?" "Osgood," ho replied. "Is it you, indeed, Edmund? "Why /have you ventured here ? Know you not that they have set a price upon your head?" "I.know it well, dearest Maria; but I eould not leave my native land forever until I heard from those sweet lips that you believed me innocent of the heavy crime which thoy allege against me." "O, Edmund, could you doubt that I Believe you innocent ? But you havo in? curred a fearful risk in coining here/' ^Speak not of it, dearest?life were not worth preserving, with the heart-rending Jresumption that my own Maria, too, be ieved mo. guilty. But, alas! must ,1 leave; you, my own, my beautiful! must I resign to another the treasure for which alone I prized existence!" "Edmund, 0, Edmund, you know not the pain your-words inflict! Can you doubt my fidelity ? I have promised to Be thine alone, and that promise I will not recall, though all the world despise me for my fidehty'to the outlaw." "Can it be ? Is there yet hope for the outcast from society ? I go, dearest?I leave my native land without regret?and when I find a home whero we may dwell in security wilt thou hasten to my cm brace ?" "Doubt me not, Edmund?I promise. Now depart, for I tremble for your safety. But hark ! I hear voices!" On the instant^ five or 6ix men sprang into the enclosure, with loud cries of "Here is the assassin !" "Seize the mur? derer!" and the maiden sank back upon the floor with an agonizing cry, "Alas ! he is betrayed! his fidelity to mo has wrought his ruin !" Edmund Osgood was a young man of promising talent, and an only child of "wealthy and respectable parents. He had just completed a course of cellegiate studies, and entered upon a professional course with an eminent physician in 1ST-. Not a blight had ever been dis? cernible upon his character, nor a cloud had yet obscured the horizon of his hopes. He had formed an' acquaintance -with a loyely and accomplished young lady in the village where he was studying his profession, and to her he was engaged, when an unfortunate occurrence dashed the cup of bliss unexpectedly and hope? lessly from his lips. Ho had sauntered forth, on a lovely afternoon, to spend a few hours of self-communion away from the hurry and bustle of business, and the doll routine of studies. In passing through an unfrequented path, in an ex? tensive piece of woodland, he came sud? denly upon a man prostrate and in the agonies of death; a pistol, recently dis? charged,, lay by his side, the ball from which had in all probability pierced his heart.. A pocket-book also lay near it? ?mrxooKiTT.up tuaseeruiin 11 it comuiucd any. papers, whereby ho might discover the name of the deceased?he had just opened it, and found it well filled with bank notes and other papers, when a party of sportsmen, who had been out fbr the purpose of shooting wild gamo, emerged from the thick wood and came suddenly upon him. Being thus surprised, with the pocket-book of the murdered man in his hand, and a pistol recently dis? charged by his side, he was accused of the murder?and, notwithstanding his pro? testations of innocenco, he was hurried before a magistrate, and of course com? mitted. Tho night succeeding his exami? nation, however, by some secret agency he was released from confinement and fled. Kewards were offered for his ap? prehension, and the emissaries of the law wero dispatched in pursuit. The fugitive eluded their grasp, however, until im? pelled by an irresistible desire to converse once moro with tho object of his affec? tions, he bent his steps thitherward?and this, as we have seen, led to his detection. With a well-directed blow he laid the foremost of his pursuers at length upon the ground, and made good his retreat. A cry was raisod, which called out the villagers in such numbers that tho fugi? tive found it impossible to escape, and he resigned himself into their hands, and was again placed in confinement. The day of trial arrived?a day of ago? nizing interest to tho maiden, who fully behoved- every statement of her lover in regard' to the dreadful occurrence; but circumstances were so decidedly against him, that there could not bo the remotest hope of his acquittal. Tho evidence for the State, given clearly and concisely, and tho prisoner had nothing to offer in de? fence but the simplo statement which ho .had from the first steadfastly adhered to. Tho judge was about to deliver his charge i 'to'the jury, when a message was present edih.court, requesting an adjournment, as-somo developments wero being made, which might put a different feature upon the affair. In the alms-house lay a misorablo bo ing, about to depart to that homo from whence no traveler returns. Finding himself upon tho threshold of an eternal world, he had sent for a clergyman and magistrate, to whom he made tho follow? ing statement: "My name is Murdock, and a worthy joan is about to suffer for a crime- which I have committed. I was once worthy and respectable?drink and the gaming table have produced tho wreck which you see. Having exhausted tho last farthing for liquor, and being without means to satisfy the intolerable cravings within mc, my sufferings became unendurable, and I resolved to put an end to my, sufferings at once. For this purpose I procured a pistol, and strayed to an obscure place ; but when I arrived at tho place where I had resolved to add self-murder to my sins, an unaccountable terror seized me, and I paused. While in this state of in? decision, a stranger appeared,- walking leisurely along the shaded lane; suddenly the thought occurred to mo that by ta? king this man's life I might replenish un? exhausted funds. Without a second thought I concealed myself, and, as he approached within pistol shot, I fired and ho fell. I approached the dying man, and drew from his pocket a well-filled pocket book ; but at that instant I glanced upon his face, and oh! horror' of horrors, he hold there the features of a long absent brother. I dropped the pocket-book and fled; but tho memory ofthat murdered brother?tho anguish depicted in those features when, in his dying moments, he gazed npon me, revealing that in that awful moment he had recognized in his murderer his brother, have ever haunted me, and, added to a constitution weaken ened by previous excesses, have now re? duced me to tho brink of an eternity of despair. I am the murderer. Edmund Osgood is innocent!" This statement procured an acquittal for Osgood; and we have only to add that a few months witnessed his nuptials with the object of his affections, where we leave them in the enjoyment of the bliss of the honey-moon, for humanity is so subject to changes and vicissitudes, that we presume not to trace their history farther. -4> Tue Wife.?Only let a woman be sure that sho is precious to her husband?not useful, not valuable, not convenient sim? ply, but lovely and beloved ; let her be the recipient of his polite and hearty at? tention, lot her feel that her care and love aro noticed, appreciated and returned, let her opinion be asked, her approval sought, and her judgment respected in matters of which she is cognizant; in short, let her only be lovod, honored and cherished, In fulfillment of the marriage vow, and she will be to her husband, her children and society a wellspring of pleasure. Sho will boar pain, and toil and anxiety, for her husband's love is to her a tower and for? tress. Shielded and sheltered therein, adversity will have lost its sting. She may suffer, but sympathy will dull the edge of sorrow. A house with love in it?and by love I mean lovo expressed in words, and looks, and deeds, for I have not one spark of faith in love that never crops out?is to a house without lovo, as a person to a machine; one is life, the other is a mechanism?the unloved wo? man may have bread just as light, a house just as. tidy as tho other, but the latter has a spring of beauty about her, a joyous ness, an aggressive, penetrating, and per? vading brightness to which the former is a stranger. The deep happiness in her heart shines out in her face. She gleams over it. It is airy and graceful, and warm and welcoming with her presence; she is full of devices and plots, and sweet surprise for husband and family. She has never done with the romance and poetry of life. She herself is a lyric poem setting herself to all pure and gracious melodies. Hum? ble household ways and duties save for her a golden significance. The prize makes her calling high, and the end sanc? tifies tho means. "Love is heaven, and heaven is love." .Remarkable Discovery.?A few days ago, while some workmen wero excava? ting a cellar in Polk township, Monroe County, Indiana, tho workmen struck what at first appeared to be a solid ledge of rock, and sitting down to rest, one of their number began idly to pick at an ap? parent fissure, when a block of stone, nearly two foot square, disappeared with a dull thump. The men wont eagerly to work, and removing tho bottom of the pit, disclosed a chamber with a six-foot ceiling, and eighteen by twenty-two feet within the walls, which are of solid, neat? ly seamed stone work. Ranged in rows, on rudely constructed platforms, were ! twelve skeletons, each with a tomahawk and arrow heads at their sides, car-rings and bracelets of solid silver fying where they dropped, and piles of what appeared to have been furs, in tho centre of the platform, each pile crumbling to dust as soon as exposed to the light. A number of tools, mado of copper, and hardened equal to the best cast steel, were also un? earthed, and fresh discoveries aro being constantly made. -* Are the Blacks Dyino Out??The Houston (Texas) Telegraph coramcting on the returns from the registration of voters in the South-west, says : Tho result will put an end to the opin? ion goncrally prevalent throughout the country, that the negro population has been largely reduced through the war. In 1SG0, the blacks of Louisiana were 350, 373; which, estimating that thero is one voter to every five of population, would yield a crop of 70,074 voters. Tho re? turns of the registration just completed 6how tho negro voters now to be 82,907, or about 13,?U0 moro than thero would have been in 1SG0, had negroes then been entitled to vote. So far, therefore, from tho blacks of Louisiana having diminished during the eventful period of war, they mnst have increased by something like 100,000. It will bo recollected that it wag in this State that a heavy decrease of blacks w as expected to be shown. Even General Banks, at tho close of tho war, in an offi? cial communication to tho Government, stated that it had fallen off at least one fourth. The same thing is shown by the regis? tration returns in Alabama, whero the I negros appear to have considerably swelled their numbers since 18G0. ? The Shelby ville Union speaking of confiscation, says that "nobody but an ar? rant fool will ever buy real estate at a confiscation sale; and nobody but a rogue will accept a gift of confiscated proper? ty." j an Hour a Day.?Thero was a lad who, at fourteen, was apprenticed' to-a1 soap boiler. One ol his resolutions was to read an hour a day, or that rate, and he had an old silver'watch loft him by his uncle, which ho timed his reading by. lie stayed seven years with his master, and said when he was twenty-one he knew as much as the young squiro did. Now, let us see how much time he had to read in, in seven years, at the rate of an hour each day. It would be 2,555 hours, which at the rate of eight reading hours per day, would be equal to 310 days; equal to forty-five weeks; equal to twelve months; nearly one year's read? ing. That timo spent in treasuring up useful knowledge would pile up a very large store. I am sure it is^worth trying for. Try what you can. Begin now. In after years you will, lood back upon the task as the most pleasant and profitable you ever performed. Squibs from the Louisville Democrat. ??Sheridan pretends to take his removal very coolly, but every one knows he was very much "put out."

Kentucky is a good ship with an indif? ferent Helm. Thirty "Women Starving.?Thirty wo? men in Montgomery, Ala., with children, numbering ninety-six in the aggregate, published a card in the papers ofthat city, in which they declare-that they are suffer? ing for the absolute necessaries of life, and can get no work with which to support themselves and their helpless children. They state that they have been receiving assiatance from the United States Govern and from Dr. Kose, but these sourcese have been closed. They appeal lor hell), and say: "We know not what to do to avoid starvation. The Wallings of our children for bread are horrible to hear. " Unless we obtain some assistance, we must starve." This, cer? tainly, a piteous appeal; it has the pathos of hunger. It is to be hoped the citizens of Montgomery will not disregard a cry of distress so full of agony?literall the wail of the widowand the orphan* These women are the widows ot Confederate soldiers who perished in the battle or died from diseases ofthe camp. They were the victims of the mad ambition of their lead? ers, and their starving wives now cry out for help in the very city where the "South? ern Confederacy" was organized and set in motion. When the fallen husbands of these thirty widows left their homes for the war, it" was far from their thoughts that their families would be fed by the bounty of the United States Government in the* place where the flag ofthe rebellion was so proudly reared. But in its mercy and benevolence, has saved not only these, but tens of thousands in similar circum? stances from starvation and death. Save a Mother's Tear.?Not long ago, two friends were sitting together engaged in letter-writing. One was a young man from India. Tho other,-a female friend, part of whose family resides in tho far off land. Tho former was writing to his mother in India. When his letter was finished, his friend offered to inclose it in hers, to save postage. "If sent separately it will reach her sooner than if sent through a friend, and perhaps it may save her a tear." His friend was touched with his tender regard for his mother's feeling, and felt with him that it was worth pay? ing the postage to save his mother a tear! Would that every boy and girl, every* young man and every young woman, were equally saving of a mother's tear. Letter from Charles Sumner.?It is given out that Charles Sumner has ad? dressed a letter to an important person ago in Washington, earnestly warning the Radical against Grant. Tho letter charges duplicity and conservatism upon the General, and hurl8 several Latin and Greek denunciations at his head for his abetting the displacement of Stanton by accepting the Secretaryship. Grant is said to bo exceedingly annoyed at the in? sinuations of Sumner and Greeley, and inconsequence ofthe Tribune's impudent assaults upon him, cherishes an antipathy towards all newspaper men, which has proved fatal to tho enterprise of the cor? respondents who have within a few days had occasion to visit him. ?

The beautiful should never be out of thought. It is a right that the bread should he put upon the table in a comely shape as that it should be eaten." ? A fellow at the race course was stag? gering about the track with more liquor than he could carry. "Hallo, what's the the matter now ?" said a chap who had been run against. "Why, why?hie?why, the fact is a lot of my friends have been bet? ting liquor on the race to-day, and they, have got me to hold the stakes for them. Fafm Work For September. Cotton picking is the chief business on the farm this month. Gather it as fast it opens; as it is the bottom bolls that open first, they aro liable to be stained by tho smallest shower of rain; besides, if lett until a large quantity opens, it may be blown out and wasted. It is also bleached, losing tho cream j'cllow color, so much admired by cotton buyers. "We have thought that in this matter there was a discrepancy between the buyer and the manufacturer. Tho former wishing a cream colored article, while the latter bleaches his cloth" to get a pure white. As soon as a rainy day comes, and a quantity of cotton is on hand, commence to gin and bale; making uniform neat bales, using iron hoops. Remove tho bales from the gin house, thus lessening the danger from fire. A tightly com? pressed bale, bound with iron hoops, will not burn, while the loose cotton in the gin'house is vcr}' inflammable. Field Peas must be gathered as they ripen. Save all that can be made. As food for stock, they aro as valuable as corn?for young animals better. After gathering the ripe peas, tho vines may be cut and curod for hay?making, when properly cured, the most valuable for milking cows. If the Turnip seed sowed in August, has failed to makeagood stand, try again. The turnip crop is too valuable as a win? ter food tor cattle, to be lost. The more turnips grown, tho more grain saved. It is estimated that thirteen millions of dol? lars have been sent from the city of At? lanta alone, to the Northwest for grain, this year. If wc can keep this amount of money at home, it will greatly relieve our poor people. Cut off tho market for this grain, and somebody will suffer from high taxation. Thus we may gain an ally in the West. Do all to save the grain crops for bread, thereby keeping the cotton money at home. Under this head, it may not be improper to protest against the bad economy of sending wheat to distant Northern markets, instead of flour. Rye or Barley, for winter pasture, should be sown the last of this month. The soil cannot be made too rich and deep for these crops. Every farmer who loves good butter, should sow an acre for each milking cow. In ordinary winters, these crops afford a valuable pasturage. The spotted leaf Lucern (California Clover) must be sown the last of this month. Also, the Scarlet Clover, each of which is a valuable early spring forage plant. A desirable consideration in the former- is, if not grazed too close.it will keep tho ground seeded for years, admit? ting ot cultivation in other crops during summer. ? Have all tho farm tools gathered up, that are not in use, and placed under shelter. Rainy days, repair such as arc broken. This is the fever month. Much may bo done, by proper prudence, in avoiding an attack. One of the most important is attention to diet, and the place where we sleep.?Southern, Cultivator. Importance of Saving Good Seed Wheat. It is not possible for any one to compute the pecuniary advantage that would ac? crue to our nation, were all fanners of the country to make a proper selection of his seed wheat for only a few successive years. There is a broad and inviting field open on this subject, for every ambitious fanner to exercise his skill in improving the produc? tiveness of our wheat growing fields by producing new varieties of wheat, which will yield large heads and plump kernels of choice grain. The prolificacy of wheat may be improved to a wonderful extent by proper management; and if a prolific va? riety of wheat can be brought out, that will yield only a few bushels more per acre than the ordinary varieties, the advantage in the aggregate would be a consideration of no small magnitude. Dr. Voeleker, in a recent lecture before the Royal Institute, J London, stated that in a country of Nor? folk the average produce ot wheat was, in 1773, fifteen bushels per acre; in 179G, twenty-eight bushels per; acre in 1802, thi: ty-two to thirty-six bushels per acre the in? crease being due to drainage, tillage, and to the growth of improved varieties. On this subject, Hon. Isaac Newton, Commissioner of Agriculture, says: "A new variety of wheat introduced into a district has in some instances proved of very great value. It is said that the pro? duct of one quart of a variety brought from North Carolina in 1845 had in nine years benefitted tho farmers of Preble county, Ohio, alone, more than $100,000 by the gain over what would have accrued from the continued use of the old varieties." The prolificacy of our cereals, and wheat in particular, is a subject that has becu seriously neelccted for many years past, even by those who have a reputation tor being excellent fanners, ?ced wheat should be selected every successive season with a direct reference to the prolificacy of [ the variety. In many instances, thirty busheles of grain might just as well be I grown on one acre as fifteen, with the same cultivation and the same fertilization. When wheat is in the path of degeneracy the best soil in the country, the most fav orablu season, and the most thorough and intelligent cultivation will fail to produce a remunerative crop. Intelligent breeders of swine select their seed animals with an especial reference to the prolificacy of the dam that will rear twelve or fourteen pigs. In some instan? ces wc see this principle neglected or en tiriely ignored. And what is the conse? quence ? Why, instead of twelve or four? teen sleek, plump and thrifty pigs, the sow drops only two or three at a litter. On the same principle, wc often see short heads of wheat only half filled with small kernels of grain, when, if the seed had only been selected with a reference to its prolificacy, to yield would have been twice the amount realized.?New York Times. -* ? A man in Maine was recently asked to subscribe for a chandelier for the chureh. 'Now,' said he, 'what's the use of a chad delier?' After you get it, you can't get any one to play on it.' ? Somebody who writes more truth? fully than poetically, says: "An angel without money is not thought so much of now-a-days as a devil with a bale ot green? backs." The Harrow?Why is it Used? . The harrow is an ancient implement, and has been familiar to the husbandman for a thousand years. Shall we speak evil of this venerable and ancient servant of the farmer? Will it do to criticise closely and look sharply into its action after tho approval of so many genera? tions? Well, this is an irreverent age. Old opinions and old things aro cast aside without a twinge of conscience, and scarcely with a show of politeness: Eve? rything must stand the fest of ne\v*"scru tiny and new ideas. The object of harrowing is to level-, pulverize, or loosen the 60Tl', and some? times to cover grain. It answers the purpose of leveling the earth, but its most important object is to loosen and mellow the soil, Now the teeth of the harrow are cones, points down, and on entering the soil, the pressure is princi? pally downwards, with some lateral pres? sure?moving the earth in the line of the draft?pulverizing a thin surface and com? pacting that below. As the harrow moves forward the tendency is to press everything down, which is more clearly shown as its passage is repeated^?nd after passing over a mellow soil six times the surface becomes a compact crust. A stick in the shape of a harrow tooth is frequently used by the miller to pack flour in barrels, and so effectual is it, that with a little repetition the surface may be made almost impenetrable. A new road, thrown up from loose earth, can be ren? dered solid for the passage of wagons Oy? the use of the harrow sooner than any other implement. In order to mellow the earth it must bo lifted and not packed. The construction of the harrow is wrong in principle. It does just the opposite of what is intended. It is only on thoso soils which arc loose and light and need compacting that the harrow should be used, and here it performs its office admi? rably. To cut up and loosen a hoed sur? face it is quite useless. Tho improved cultivators, with teeth constructed to lift and pulverize the earth, should be used on heavy soils or those ea: sily packed. There is a cultivating har? row, with lifting teeth in the shape of small mold-boards, which cannot be too highly commended. It leaves tho soil in fine tilth, about three inches deep, and covers grain admirably7. It is not adap? ted to deep tillage, but for surface culture works well. The harrow draws tho grain into the ridge, covers unevenly, and thus renders it less able to stand drouth. The drill is the true implement to dis? tribute and cover grain, as it distributes evenly at the bottom of a small furrow, and covers to a uniform depth. The dews arc deposited at tho bottom of fur? rows, and thus in a dry time moisten and fertilize the root. Farmers should study closely into the action of all their imple? ments, and when one is found wanting, cast it aside and supply its place with a better one.?Moore's Rural Neic Yorker. ? A correspondent of the Vicksburg Herald gives an account of a* "mixed" meeting at Bolton. He says : The conclusion was a few impromptu remarks from Dr. Burt Watton, colored, who said : ''I tell you, you are all a set set of d-n fools, you havn't got much cotton to pick, no how, and you had bet? ter bo in the field picking out what little you have, than here trying to learn poli? tics." ? A modern philosopher, taking the motion of the earth on its axes at seven? teen miles a second, says that if you take off your hat in the street to bow to a friend, you go seventeen miles bareheaded without taking cold. ?
