At the age of thirty, Allan Moore married, taking for his wife ppetty Mary Graham. He had been waiting until he might commence the new life fairly and independently; and when he said "independently, he meant that he would not be dependent upon lodging-house keepers for a home. He did not hope to be independent of toil and fatigue; but he had planned that he and Mary would work togeth? er, and, perhaps, in the coming years, find a competence upon which to enjoy healthful re? pose. Allan was a lawyer, with a fair prac? tice; and he had promised himself that when Mary had become his wife she would help him in his labors?not that she would delve for him into the mysteries of law, or do the drudgery of copying; but he looked for sympathy ana love?for a love that should make Iiis labors light, and for a sympathy upon which he could zest his confidence. It is said that "love is blind;" but true love is not so blind as is often represented. The good qualities which have awakened the heart to love are not wanting; and even the imper? fections were seen and noted in the outset. The good seed was in the soil, and so were the tares. The trouble is, that love is apt to be over-hope? ful. It is not blird, but it looks through a sunny glass; and the future, thus viewed, pre? sents only a pleasant prospect. Love is not so blind that it cannot see faults; but it is so kind and forbearing that it overlooks them ; and thus it often happens that the tares are suffered to thrive, and finally to outgrow the better seed. Allah Moore had known that Mary had her faults; bat he had also known that her heart was good and true, and in his great love he fbuv.? the assurance of peace and joy. Bat a season of disappointment was to come. They had been married three years, and a cloud, was upon ;he household. And whose was.the fault? Allan examined himself very elosely, but he could not discover that he had done wrong. And yet Mary was neither happy herself, nor did she try to make him happy. His business had increased until he had as much upon his hands as he could possibly at? tend to; he labore i early and late; he toiled without ceasing; tut the sympathy which he had expected at home was not his. The result was that he often wore a cloud upon his brow. Expecting coldness when he entered his home, he came with compressed lips; and fearing he should find no sympathy he did not seek it. Allan Moore wondered whether he had been mistaken in his estimate of Mary; had he given her credit for good that she did not pos? sess ? Certainly there was little of the good now to bless htm; bat evil continually. In short, his home was very far from being a hap Ey one, and open luptare was frequent. Mary ad become fretful and fault-finding, and, in? stead of sympathising with her husband in his engrossing and of>times perplexing business, she would not permit him to mention his busi? ness in the house. Mary was growing to have sharp features, and the old look of heauty was disappearing. But upon Allan the change was working with deeper effect. He was growing thin andpale, and there were shoots of pain and mysterious throbbings at the heart; and the pain was growing deeper. Why was it ? Was the good all gone, or had the tares only come up and outgrown the good ?tares that migh t have Been rooted out Ton? ago, if the hand of prudence and skill haa been applied ? Had the heart been locked up, and all its good hidden from the fructifying light? If so, why could not some kind power unlock the closed heart, and set the blessings free? The good genius was at hand. Dr. Ralph Grahim, Mary's uncle, had seen the gathering cloud, and had marked the pro? gress of the deepening gloom. He had known both the husband and the wife from their in? fancy, and he had loved them both ; and when he saw them thus unhappy, he wondered if he eould not help them. He knew that the great? er fault was Mary's; and he knew, too, that she yet had a preponderance of good in her heart. He knew that she had in that heart the keenest of sympathies, the noblest of impulses, and. the fouut of a true and enduring love. Ho knew, because in the other years he had seen -them; and he knew that the good of the hu? man heart cannot wholly die. It may be choked np; it may wither and shrink; and it may be crushed down beneath the superincum? bent weight of evil; but while the human heart hath pulsation of life it may be probed to the fountain of good, and in its darkest sight it shall yield Hashes of generous im? pulse. Dr. Graham?or "Uncle Ralph," as Mary called him?had been the family physician when she was a babe, and he was a man of sense as well as of experience and skill. Late? ly, be had been csllea to prescribe for Allan, who was troubled more and more with an un? comfortable throbbing of the heart. I cannot tell what Uncle Ralph really thought He may have thought just as an? other experienced physician thought?that the palpitation was simply the result of indiges? tion, and that the dull pain came from pneu mogastric sympathy; and, further, that the eause of the whole lay in nervous derange? ment, consequent upon mental care and labor. But, be that as it may, he resolved that he would make use of Allan's heart in unlocking the heart of the wife. "Uncle Ralph, what do you really think of Allan?? ' J "Mary, do yon want me to tell you the truth ?" He spoke very solemnly, and with a grave look. "The truth, uncle?" she repeated, with a startled expression. "You do not think there is anything serious?" "What can be more serious thau a disease of the heart?" "But Allan has no such thing." "My dear girl, you must not deceive your? self. You may not keep Allan long with you. Excessive labor, ambition to achieve great re? sults, and a want of healthful recreation, have strained his heart more than it will bear. I tell you plainly, Allan is dying." "Dying!" "Yes?surelv. It is bot a question of time. We may save him to prolonged and useful life, if we can remove the cause of his disease.? Have you not observed how pale and thin he has grown? and have you not marked how often the pain comes to his heart? Alas ! poor Allan! I dare not tell him how near he is to the brink! I spoke with him once?a few days ago?upon the subject. I told him there was danger." "You told him? And how did it affect him?" "He only smiled, and shook his head." "Smiled?" "Yes; but with tears in his eyes, lie said if he could only leave his wife and child well and comfortably provided for, he should be willing to go. That was when he had a great pain in his heart." Mary arose and went and placed her hand upon the doctor's shoulder. "Uncle Ealph!?do you?do you?tell me truly?" "I only tell you what I fear, my child. I tell what is possible?nay/what is inevitable, sooner or later, if Allen continues to be so overworked. But do not tell him what I have told you; it might break him down at once. He must not fail and die now, in the noontide of life, if mortal power can save him. But, my little girl, you must be prepared; the blow may fall at any time. These heart troubles are most treacherous. It is for you to make his pillow smooth, and give him comfort for the few short days that-" "Oh, Uncle?Uncle, do not say so! Oh, my soul! Allan must not die! Better, a thousand times, that I should go and leave him to use his bright and useful life I" Dr. Graham drew his weeping niece to his bosom, and gently whispered: "Stay with him, Mary, and give him strength, and hope, aud courage. ,. While I give him such medicine as I have to give, be it yours to draw him away from labor when you can, and make the bur? den light. Let us do this, and leave the rest with God." After her uncle had gone, Mary moved about the house, like one awakened from a troubled dream, gathering up the threads of the past, and weaving them into the woof of the present. How the old love blazed up, and how dear to her were the memories of the brighter times. Her husband dying ? Ob, it could not be?it should not be 1 And yet?and yet?what could she do if the die were fatally cast ? Ah I she could bless him while he lived. Yes, she could do that. That evening, when Allan Moore returned to his home, his wife met him in the hall, and put her hands up to his shoulders, and then kissed him. "You are late, Allan. Dinner has been wait? ing for you." But you have not waited, Mary ?" "Yes, Allan. I could not eat alone this even? ing." "You could not?" He spoke like one in a dream. "No. I wanted the light of the other times, Allan?the light which only your presence can give.". And she helped him to remove his overcoat; and when he had pulled off his boots and put on his slippers, which she had ready for him, she led the way to the dining-room. ? His old favorite dishes; the silver, bright and clean; the china, drinking the gas light into its translucent substance; the napkins, white like snow; and the food as she knew he preferred it; and, above all, her own face wear? ing a smile of the old sweetness, presiding over the scene. Was he dreaming, or was it real ? Almost afraid-to speak, lest a breath might dispel the happy illusion, he drank in the joy of the oc? casion. When the meal was concluded, Allan rose from the table. "Now, now, Allan. Where are you going ?" "To my own room, Mary. I have papers to copy." "Cannot others do your copying ?" "These are papers which I dare not trust to other eyes." "But you will trust me, Allan ?" "Trust?you!" He was in the dream again. "Yes. If you will explain to me the work, and leave them with me to-morrow, I will copy them for you. You know I write well." "Oh, Allan!?my husband!?my own true love!"?she had now moved up and laid her hand upon his shoulder?"you are working too hard. If you will let me help you, I will help you now; and, by-and-by, you shall r<at. We will go away among the green fields, and the brooks, aud the hills." "Mary 1 My darling! What music is this ?" He took her to his bosom, with his arms twined closely around her. "Allan, I have been unmindful of your good, and I have been very miserable; but I will be so no more, if you will let me help you; if you will give me back your love and your trust; if j you will lean upon me when you are weak, and rest upon my bosom when you are in pain; if| you will forgive me for all the wrong and the error, I will bless heaven, and take courage, and we will be happy always while we live I" Oh, blessed, happy hour; blessings and hap? piness reaching out into all the coming years! The heart had been unlocked, aud its flood of j true love, gushing out into a current, broad and strong, had washed away the stains of evil, and purified the temper; and, upon the sacred altar of their home, tbe vestal fires burned brightly. A year had passed when Mary said, as she stood and looked up into her husbands face: "Allan, how strong and well you have grown ! You don't know how proud aud happy it makes me." He caught her to his bosom, and held her there. "My blessed wife! how could I help being strong and well beneath the influence of a love like yours. I owe you much, darling?very much. I cannot tell you how happy I am I" Aud Mary knew that the fountain of good? ness in her heart could never be closed up again while sense and memory were hers. Touching Letter.?The schoolboy who writes the following letter exhibits a degree of J affectionate solicitude lest his parents should j be worried about his health which is very charming: "Dear Ma. i wright to tell you i am very retched and my chill olains is worser again. I have not made any progress and I don't think I shall. I am sorry to be off so much expense but I do not think schule is of) any good. One of the fellows has taken the crown bout of my new hat for a target. I said you would not like it. He has also borrowed iny watch to make a water wheel with the works but it won't act. Me and him tried to put the works back but we ihink there is some wheels missing as it won't fit. I hopo Matil da's cold is Detter. I'm glad she is not at j schule. I think I have got consumption. The boys at this place are uot gentlemen but I sup fose you did not know that when you sent mc. will try not to get bad habits. The trowsers have wore out on the knees. I think the tay lor must have cheated you. The buttons have also come off and they are tore in the back. I don't think the food is good, but i should not mind if i was stronger, the piece i send vou is off the beef we had sunday out on other days it is more striuggy. There a.re black becdles in the kitchen and sometimes they cook them in the dinner which can't be wholsome when you are not strong. 1 of the boys has tamed one not a cooked a raw one and it will dance when ,-ou whistle 'down in a coal mine,' which make him think of his happy home. Dear Ma I hope you and my dear papa and sisters, are enjoying of yourselves and do not mind me being so oncomfortablc because I do not think i shall last long. I am Yours Affectionate. Johnny. "P. S.?Please send me some money as i owe eight pence. If you cannot spare it i think i can borrow of a boy who is going to leave at J the half quarter and then he won't ask for it [ back praps you would not like me to be under obligashun as his parents is trades people and i think you deal at their shop, he lent me some last half quarter and i think he told them at the shop. I did not mention it as i dessay they have put it into your bill." ? A Kentucky paper says: "The famous Dr. Mary Walker, Esq., spent her youthful days in manufacturing compouud catharticpills in Brcckinridge County. ? An Irish editor says he can see no earthly reason why women should not be allowed to become medical men. ? A California sheep-raiser owns 90,000 sheep, which bring him a yearly income of I $100,000. Do not Neglect the Turnip Patch. Few farmers do neglect to make a turnip patch of some kind, but they too often neglect to properly prepare the soil, negl%ct to give it sufficient manure, and neglect the proper after cultivation, and they lose money by neg? lect. Bad farming does not pay, even in the turnip patch. From six hundred to eight hundred?under the most favorable condition, one thousand?bushels of turnips can be grown on an acre of land. Why should we be content with one hundred ? We can, it is true, make the one hundred with less attention. We have but to cow-pen our inolost-re till it shall be trodden as hard as the public road, scratch it with a '?scooter," and sow the seed broadcast. That's not much trouble, and we don't get "much turnips !" A little more labor, plenty of manure, and six hundred bushels of turnips to the acre (to put it low) will pay a great deal better. For a good turnip crop, the soil must have a deep and thorough preparation. Cow-penning laud for turnips is good on loose, sandy soils, but it is not to be recommended for those which are heavy and stiff. In any case, make the soil deep and mellow. Plough and subsoil your patch ; where the lot has not been cow penned, spread your stable manure broadcast, and don't be afraid of getting on too much; turn in the manure at once by cross-ploughing, running deeply, as before. If this be .done (as it should be) several weeks before plan ting time, plough once more when ready to plant, apply a top dressing of guano or super-phos Shate, at the rate of from three to four hun red pounds to the acre, and harrow in both directions till the ground is thoroughly pulver? ized, and the fertilizer well mixed with the soil. Throw up lo w beds if the soil be liable to hold too much moisture, otherwise plant on the level, making the rows, in either case, about two feet apart, and sow from two to two and a half pounds of seed to the acre. Pass a roller over the ground after sewing. Thin out to about a foot apart, and keep the soil light and free from grass and weeds by frequent cul? tivation. This plan will make a heavy crop with any kind of a season. It may not, however, be the best plan ever devised. Adopt a better one if you can find it; but do not, we beg, neglect the turnip patch, and do not cheat yourself with the idea that you can make a good crop without manure and labor, and no stinted measure of either. The Ruta Baga is the best keeper, and more profitable for the-main crop, we think, than any rough leaved variety: but it is slower growth, and other kinds should be planted in addition, to come into use earlier. The Amer? ican Red Top, the White Globe, the Norfolk, and the Yellow Aberdeen are good varieties. The Ruta Bagas should be sown from the middle of July to the middle of August, (or a little later in the low country.) The others may be sown from August 15th to October 1st. It is best, if practicable, to sow just before a rain. Fresh Fields for the Heroic. Heroism consists essentially in having the coolness, courage and unselfishness to attempt and do w?at very few would venture. The object should be good; moreover, be laudable. A burglar runs great risks, but we do not dub him a hero. Now we venture to suggest a few quite accessible situations in which, as the notices say, " enterprising persons of both sexes" can distinguish themselves, and benefit the community in greater or less degree, ac? cording to circumstances. The list of open? ings can be extended indefinitely. 1. Let all youthful smokers conquer the growing habit; all. snuffers reserve their, noses for their original tuics; .and all the masticators of the weed spare their mouths and the public highways. It is unnecessary to discuss here the propriety or otherwise of those indulgen? ces. It is enough that the victory over them demands coolness and courage, to which many are not equal. 2. Let all young: men who have begun to enjoy a "friendly glass" forego it at once, even though it be presented by the fairest hands, on the gayest holiday, or urged with varied ban? tering and entreaty at the most brilliant table. 3. Let all ladies whose taste and judgment revolt against absurd fashions ignore them. Why should free Americans be ruled by the caprices of a few modistes, or ordered how to dress by a magazine writer whom they would not invite to lunch, if known ? Spartan sump? tuary laws were in favor of economy; but so? ciety would not endure them. Yet it submits in grumbling discontent to irresponsible ty ranny, obedience td which is ruinously costly. Why should Mrs. Snyth be required by fashion to drag silk, at five dollars a yard, through the mud, while poor Mr. Smith is at his wits'-ends about the grocer's bills ? 4. Let the young ladies dare to go home at rational evening hours. Their color, health, spirits, lives, in some instances, will be saved by such courage. We do not sympathize with the cynic who approves of this absurd inver? sion of night and day on the ground that the silly women who practice it are thus killed off, to the gain of society. Many who are capable of good things suffer in the multitude. Here is a tine occasion for feminine courage to res? cue endangered lives. Where are the darlings who will display it ? 5. Let the young men wear the old gloves, hat and coat till they can honestly afford the new.' It requires uncommon courage ; but it will have good results. Men schooled to such deeds of heroism wilL refuse to indorse bad bills, will not vote for scamps, nor kneel in the mud to scoundrels who give lavishly what they have gained lawlessly, nor take with pride the hand of a villain, however exalted. 6. Let men refuse their names to all papers, the contents of which they cannot personally vouch for, including testimonials. Any man actually out of prison can get a testimonial, and you may see a dozen names testifying to the excellence of one whom each of the dozen signers will own to bo worthless. How are they caught ? By being taken in detail, aud each told what all the rest are going to do. No one likes to refuse. Here is a splendid field for heroic deeds. Be the one.?Dr. John Hall. Believed He'd Go.?A* gentleman in St. | Louis sent word to Voorhees that "all his old friends were getting into the Greeley boat; ! that he was too good a fellow to leave behind, and he had better come along too, before they shoved off." Voorhees received the message, and sent this back. He was pretty much in the condition, he wrote, of the boy at camp meeting, where nearly all the people had gone forward to the anxious benches, and he was left blooming alone. At last the minister saw him and came up. "My young brother," said the preacher, "why do you sit here alone ? Why not come to glory?" "All them gals goin' to glory?" asked the boy. "Straight as a shingle," said the preacher. "No switchin' off nor nuthin' ?" "Through by daylight," answered the minis? ter. "Well, parson," said the boy, "if all them gals is a-goin' to glory, I don't see as it's much use o' me a;whittlin' here by myself; guess I j might jest as well go'long too." j ? The end of time?the letter E. ? There is one thing that can always be found?and that's a fault. ? Why are elections like tents ? Because the canvass ends at the polls. ? Dr. Franklin says that "every little frag? ment of the day should be saved." ? The savages are unjustly styled ignorant, for any healthy Indian is a well red man. ?'Dob* thinks he could sing, "Way Down on the Old Tar River," if he could get the pitch, 1 A New Way of Keeping Cool. It seems strange that Yankee ingenuity has devised no efficient means for producing an ar~ tificial coolness in houses during the Summer. Why can't some method be invented for lower? ing as well as for raising the temperature? A correspondent of the Nation evidently has faith that this can be done, and even makes a plausi? ble suggestion as to the right way to do it. He thinks that the air of our houses can be cooled down to about fifty or sixty degrees in this manner: I mean to lead a considerable number of small air pipes several times through a very large box or bin, which is to be packed full of some light substance?rnoss, for instance? through which air could easily find its way. Water from above will be suffered to drip all over the top of this moss and will trickle through it to the bottom of the bin. Through the moss, from the bottom upward, I shall force a current of air, and thus produce rapid evapo? ration. And this will cool the air pipes, and they will cool the air which passes through them. To force a current through these pipes, and to force another one through the moss, I shall use a very large, but light, pair of bel? lows, which will be worked by a sort of clock arrangement, in which the immediate motive power will be a heavy weight. I calculate that a horse will, with ten or fifteen minute's heavy pull (once a week or once a day{ according to the heat of the weather,) wind this clock affair. It shall have a pendulum, and be started or stopped at pleasure, and by altering the length of the pendulum, will run fast or slow, accord? ing to the heat. The cold air which the air pipes furnish will be led through wooden pipes to the various rooms of the house, always near the ceiling, and be turned on or off like the hot air of ordinary furnaces. My doors and windows will be kept closed in the hottest weather as carefully as in the coldest. I shall have no flies nor mosquitoes nor dust. My blinds will be open and my room light. The air will be as dry as that outside, and the tem? perature of it will be between sixty and seven? ty degress, according to my belief as to what degree may be the healthiest. I have not care? fully estimated the expense of this machine, but I am sure it will not cost much, and am equally sure that the extra work it will enable me to do in the hottest weather will soon repay me for the outlay. We don't see why the "clock arrangement" could not be made to wind up by a man as well as horse power. Give more time for the opera? tion and the same result can be accomplished with less power. We commend the suggestion, at all events, to such of our readers as nave a genius for mechanical contrivances. If the idea is a good one somebody will work it out and become a great benefactor to his race. Will the Jews Tote for Horace Greeley? To the Editor of the Tribune?Sir : Does it not seem odd, in view of the approaching political canvass, that the Jewish press, with probably one exception, should preserve such an omi? nous silence on an issue which so nearly con? cerns us all ? If the controversy involved po? litical questions merely, there might be just cause to keep aloof from-the contest. But in view of the persecutions to which the Jews are subject in this later day in Roumania, and since we all know that both Grant and Wilson, who now ask the suffrages of the American people for the loftiest positions in fheir gift, are both enemies to the Jews, to remain silent is to proclaim ourselves impotent for good to those sufferers in foreign parts, who with outstretched arms cry aloud for help which we can by our suffrages in this contest in a measure tender them. For myself I deprecate the thought that any religious denomination should be obliged to become clannish at any political struggle, believing that all creeds and sects had better merge themselves into one common in? terest for, the common good; but history has yet to prove that we as a people have gained any civil or religious liberty by supporting those that hate us, or by upholding the hands of tho3o that would smite us. What Grant has done against us we all but too well know, he having issued that infamous order, banishing the Jews as a class from his District, because, forsooth, a few of them were petty traders. But his own father, the meanest and most ple bian trader of them all, he permitted, without let or hinderance, to make large contracts with cotton-trading firms in Cincinnati, to buy cot? ton within General Grant's lines, for which he was to get full share of the profits, for no bet? ter consideration than that his son, General Grant, would pass them free into his lines to purchase the said cotton, and having done so, give them safe conduct back again. It is not my wish in this connection to speak much of the master, but rather of the man Henry Wil? son, and therefore I beg herewith to submit a letter received from Dr. Wise, the eminent Jewish divine of the Plum-street Temple, at Cincinnati. The Rabbi says: "Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, is the man who in 1861, in the most dangerous time, stated in open Senate, speaking of the conduct of Benjamin: 'He is the son of that race which stoned the prophets and crucified the Redeemer of the world/ In the Israelite of 1861 the matter has been noticed." This cant would have found a more fitting place were it expressed in a low groggery in Water 8treet, by a fellow maddened with drink, rather than uttered by the Hon. Henry Wilson in the Senate of the United States. When in the British Parliament, the late Premier Dis? raeli was once taunted with being a Jew, he at once replied: "I am a Jew. When the gentle? man's ancestors were naked savages on these islands, mine were princes in the Temple. I feel every fibre of my frame thrill with the traditions of my people." Since this question resolves itself into wnat Senator Sumner aptly styles as between the small and the great G, as between a man who has devoted the better part of his life toward elevating the oppressed and down-trodden, and a man, the posture of whose greatness is as yet unknown, think you that as between these two men?the one so great and lofty, the other so narrow, shallow and mercenary?it is so difficult to discern on which side the masses of the intelligent Amer? ican Jews will stand when the time comes.

We request the Ladies, and all others want? ing a perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from personal examination, this superior and excel? lent Machine. It is no exaggeration to say that it will execute a greater variety of sewing, with fewer attachments and less labor, than any Machine in the world. It is a decided im? provement on the oldor Machines in market; and tho superior skill, workmanship and ma? terials employed in its construction are a guar? antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and enable the Company and its Agents to War bant every Machine they sell to give entire satisfaction. It is comparatively noiseless, and runs with such ease that the most delicate female can operate it all day without fatigue. A Philadel? phia weekly, speaking of this Machine, says: "In New England, the home of the Sewing Machine, the American Buttonhole Machine is without a rival?1. Because it will do every? thing that any Machine can do, Bewing from the finest to the coarsest material, hemming, felling, cording, braiding, binding, gathering and sewing on at the samo time, quilting, etc., better than any other Macino. 2. Because the tensions are more easily adjusted. 3. Because it can work a beautiful buttonhole, making as fine a pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will embroider over the edge, making a neat and beautiful border on any garment 5. Because it wiU work a beautiful eyelet hole. 6. Be? cause it can do overhand seaming, by which sheets, pillow-cases and the like aro sewed ovor and over. 7. Because you can quickly raise and l?wer the feed to adapt it to thick or thin cloth. 8. Because you have a short, deep bobbin, by which the thread is constantly drawn from the centre, the tension is conse? quently even. 9.
