And ftill upon thv face I look, And think 'twill audie oeain ; And still the thought I will not brook, That I inuit look in vain ! Dut when I speak, thou dost not ?ay What thou ne'er left'st unsaid, A pd now I feel, as well I moy, Sweet Mary! thou art dca* If thou would'et blay even as thou urt, All cold and all serene, I still might press thy filent heart, And where thv smiles have been !

I . .> not think, where'er thou art, ihou hast forgotten ino; And 1, perhapa,'iuay soothe Ibis heart, lu thinking too of theo ; Yet there was round thee sui li o dawn i Of light ne'er seen before j As fancy never could have dmwn. Ana never can restore! ONE AUNT TOO MANY. J don't know anything about my re bilious. I' have hosts of them in till places I have ever lived or visited ; I nm one of eighteen children, my father wan ono of twenty-two, and my mother had twelve sisters ! As I um closely occupied by business, ami hnvo a very imperfcctly-dovelopcu social nature, it is not very strange that I know only : onie dozen or two of my near est kith and kin. Indeed, I have two bruthen) whom I have never seen, and three sisters whom 1 hardly know by sight ! Perhaps I nm more acquainted with my grandmother, on my mother's ?ide, than with half of my other relatives, for I orten visited thc old lady, when I was a school-boy, and have met her occasionally since, which ia more than I can say of many of thc others. So much for my family. It was on n dark, dreary, dull, damp, dirty, dismul day in November, that I left my ofllce to go home to dinner, at about 4 o'clock, nod walked up Broad way, speculating on tho possibility of collecting sumo money from a slippery debtor. As I meditated thus, I naturally al lowed my eyes to rest uppn tho pave ment nt a abort distance ahead, and thought hut Pule about what I snw with tho external orgaus of vision. As I neared Canal street, however, something which carno within , thc range of my sight attracted i a ?ttto 'more nttoutfon than I had ' bestowed upbh tho flag stones. Tho object-or rather, Abjects-which awoke trie from my * financial reverlo, wero two small brown gaitera, long, nar row, close-fitting. : high-hcolod, and daintily handled-if one may use thc ex pression-by their wcaror. Abovo their tops wore plainly visiblo a pair ?f nl?ra nnd olcgn?tly-?urncd ankles, encased in bmo?th-Stting white stockings, making altogether about as nice a "runniug-gear" as over carried a pretty woman up Broad way. Mentally blessing the wet weather which had led to tho exhibition of such charms, I allowed myself to take an ob servation ou tho figuro that surmounted tho ankles and gaiters, and to make va rious conjectures as to what sort of a face oho might havo-for her back WCB towards mo. The figure was a little, light, airy one, with a ?lim waist-all in black-with a little crape bonnet, like a lose, just stuck on the 'back of the head, allowing a glimpso of the soft brown hail*, too pro tuse and wavy to be confined in such a ti uv heed-dress. Alight raantlo.of black lace, falling holuw ibo w??s^ gav? a flowing outline to this jaunty little figure, but was not opaque enough to conceal tho slender form, in ita biacV velvot basque, with tnt) two cunning little buttons behind and the two cunning little pockets at the sides. - But-thunder 1 If I go on at this rate you will think I am a man-milliner, erat least a dry-goods dork--which I swear I am not. ?'i followed on behind the girl in black Tor a block or two, admiring tho pert, piquant swing of h or draperies and tho briBk "rap-tap, tap-tap,*' of the little gaiter heels, and now and thou endeavor ing to poss ncr. so that I could seo the face, which, I felt sure, mus*, ?f 4 v^^m sily, be in kcupir.g with the form. The density, of tho crowd, however, pro von ted mo from catching up with her until I got to Broome street, when a shower came on, and I found my umbrella exceedingly convenient. The young lady stopped under an awn ing, and I saw, her cost an imploring glauco at thc sky, j which waa covered with a smooth, unbroken, lead-color, in dicative of a long rain. The omnibuses were all full to overflowing, and not a carriage waa to bo soon.1, Asl approached I had a good chanco to see tho face I had speculated^about. It was a regular oval dace, with a straight, nose, small iroutb, and expressive brown oyes. Not a beau tiful face-far from a ''divine" or "glo rious" faco-not even, aa Aldrich haa it: ll* .l.i. .?ul ?uu 1UU. .<.-.l..(l..l..ll but just a good, sensible, jolly little face,, quite refreshing to look nt, to think or, to writo about, or, perhaps, to kiss, once. Just as I passed, after exchanging the odd glance of recognition that so often flathes back and,forth between str?ngen; who ralher i?ko each other's faces, I no ticed that the : young lady's vail had - patted company with the little bonnet, and was lying on the pavement, danger ously near the gaiter heels on one side, and a puddlo on tho qther. j With that nativo gallantry that has al-1 ways distinguished mo-that ia. In fact s' family trait-I stepped back, picked up tho vail,. and presented ft with as choice a bow ; and smile as 1 could mus " ter. : SX. "r ' At tho samo moment the rain increased to a. fearful shower, and' I could do no: less than offer to hail an omnibus for tho Indy, although I knew perfectly well that there wouldn't bo'af aenrit neat in coe for some timo to come. "Thank you, sir/' said the nymph, 1*1. want a Madison-avenue and Forty-sec-' ond-street stage, but I'm afraid I cannot find room in one."

Miss Carlington was lounging in a fauteuil, dressed io her purple dressing gown with scarlet facings, reading a novel. Bbc looked languidly up as I entered. "Ah, good morning. You aro quite a at ranger." "Since Friday," I Haid, advancing and respectfully kissing her white, jeweled hand. "And here it is Tuesday; nearly four days since you have thought of me." "Pardon me- I have thought of you Incessantly." "Especially on Saturday aflornoon. Now, sir, I have a bono to pick with you. Who was that lady in black, to whom you wore so excessively attentive in the rain on Saturday? You aro right in blushing, sir ; you have displeased me." "I am very sorry." "Who was she?r' "I do not know-'hat is, I did not then -at least not till sho gave ruc her card." "You seem very much confused. I asked you who she was." "Her namo is Constance Farley." "Why didn't you say so ni once? I wish you to understand now nnd forever that I don't choose to have you pay attentions to any young lady but my self." "But, my dear Pauline, I-" "No excuso, sir ; I have told you this before." "But you aro unjust." "Am I?" "I think so." "Then you had better abandon me, and go to Miss Farley, or some other creature." "Really, you are loo severe. Who told you I was attentive to her?" "1 saw you, sir, with my own eyes and I think it is real mean of you." With this the spoiled beauty began tu pout, and directly to cry a little. I tried to pacify her all I could, bul she grow worso and worse. She upbraided mo with hoing false to her-with having tampered with her feelings, and worked herself up into such a state of indigna tion that I began to get a little vexed in turn. Tho upshot of thc matter was, that she: said I was a monster, and I said she was too unreasonable to bc heeded, flounced out of the room io a passion, nnd I cool ly took my hat and left, vowing inwardly that I would never return until she sent for mo. As 1 turned tho corner townrds Madi son Square, who should I meet but Con staucs Farley, smiling and pretty an ever -dressed with tho same neatness and taste. The contrast between tho proud, intol erant woman I had just left, and this cheerful, sunshiriing little being was so great that I stopped and entered into conversation with her. She charmed mo more and more, and I was m ado exceed ingly glad, when wo parted, by receiving an invitation to call upon her. It is, perhaps, needless to stato that I did call, and nad a very pleasant timo. Then I called again. "As ill-luck would have it, Constanco Farloy was an invoternto walker, and Sent a part of everyday in the open r-to which fact, doubtless, she owed ber appearance of roacato health and freshness. All very well for ber, to bo nnro, but unfortunate for me, becauso I kopt continually mooting ber on Broad way, and could not find It In my heart to resist frequent invitations to walk with ber. Ana whilo thus engaged I mot Pau line Iphigenie three times In ons week, ia cons?quence of which I received a package from her ono morning, contain ing mv photograph, a bracelet I bad given lier, and two or three letters I wrote her while sho was in the country. Ac companying this was a ncte, requesting me to return her letters and photograph, and announcing the unpleasant fact that she had "cast my image out from her heart forever I" After this, of course, I began to pay atte&i'jn to Constance Farley tn good earnest. I found that sho was the young est of a large family of Bistors, all mar ried, except herse'rV She had been splendidly educated, and was endowed with a fine mind by nature, so that she made-a most channing and spirituelle companion. For two months I continued my ad dreasee, until a favorable moment ar rived, when I popped tho question. I recollect it as well as if it were only yes terday. It was ono cold, wintor evening, and Constance's friends, with whom sho was staying, had all guno to the opera. I went to the house, expecting to take hef.*bat found her suffering from a cold, which prevente--! her from going out in such a. ?yuolrathsg atmosphere, ro we ?t?jcu ni iiO??rj ?u? D?? ?

"It would ba too lonesome, for a bach elor," "Are you always going to bc a bache lor?" I took hold of her hand. "Constance," Bald I, "that dopends on?

Houston, a well known farmer and stock-dealer, who re sides near H OUR toni, this county, claims to have '?cen a pupil of Peter Stuart Ney, ono of Nnpo!con's greatest Marshals. According to Nev's own words, related to Col. Houston when a mere lad, he escaped his death sentence by tho soldiers firing over his head. HuAfeigncd death, was taken in charge by hi? friends, dis guised, and shipped a? a sailor from llor dcuux, France, to Charleston, S. C. In a few years he removed to Kowan Coun ty. North Carolina, where he taught school for several veara, a portion of that time boarding with Col Houston's father. He fondly cherished thc hope that Na poleon's star would again rise in splendor, and when thc information of his death reached him ho acted like n madman, and only through persistent ellbrts of friends was prevented from committing suicide. He left a lengthy history writ ten in French, which was transmitted to tho New York Historical Society for translation, but through .sonic neglect was never carried out. Col. Houston re tains several mementoes of his illustrious preceptor, among them his Latin Gram mar, spectacle*, pocket-knife, and several verses of original poetry, etc.-Chicano Tiinc?. - An exchange says that Cen.

That the fourteen othors should havo been such specimens of longevity as to have brought tho aver ago up to 73 years is an ?vidence either that tho Presidency is not necessarily and inevitably a life-killing o.b:o, or elsa that the American Presidenta havo been constitutionally strong; and long-lived men.

Campbell, of Now Orleans, who was the Confederate Assist ant ?ecreiary o? War, has written, u idler regarding the treatment of Federal pris oners by tho Confederate authorities,. Tho letter was elicited by certain charges mada by a Colonel Chandler against General Winder, who for a time, was lu command of Andersouville. Judge Campbell says bis connection with tho officers of tho Confederate governmen ' enables bim to say with emphasis that there- was no inhumanity, cruelty or wanton maltreatment or neglect on thoir part. He says the condition of tho pris oners must havo been deplorable, na waa the condition of tho Confederates in tho camp and hospital, but argues that this waa due to the inexorable and iron poli cy of the United Slates, which precluded r?liof to those prisoners by a resort to the usual course of making an exchange of prisoners. The blockade prevented the introduction of medicines, stores and sup plies. Armies of invasion made a deso lation and a waste in the ?and. Tho de struction of railroads, mills and maga sines prevented tho accumulation and distribution of provisions. Tho posts at which prisoners were placed were thus separated from intercourse and supplies. Their conveniences, comforts .ina even necessaries must have been curtailed. Judge Campbell concludes his letter as follows: "Ncycrthelesa; lt fully appears that tho number of deaths among the prisoners captured by tho Northern ar mies was proportionately greater than WU?* ?UH.UV.

Those thrifty farmers who thought to < dace their sons in better society lima tiny j hemselves enjoyed in their youth ; who , bought to put tiieir sons more surely on ( .he read to wealth and respectability, by , aking them out of the farms and putting ; hem behind counters, or in lawyers' and J lectors' offices, have nov; the satisfaction , >f seeing the latter without patients nud | >riefs, and thc former without customers. , lad these young men been encouraged ( in tho farm. ?nd furnished with land, as | :ould have been done in mosteases, many , .1 them would to-day be prosperous far- j ners. The commonest observation teach- , ?s that the nation's wealth lies in its igriculturc. Neglect this, and all other J ndustries languish or perish. All thc >ther industries arc but multiplied facil ties for carrying on this. Among them di this is the only sure one, unuffectcd ' >y foreign wars, unchanged by political i 1 igitation. Prices may fluctuate, hanks ' nay .rea;., ami currens, mn, out VJUU - :au3cs the earth to vichi her fruits, and ? ie thnt labors will bc rewarded with ' iread. What cares thc farmer for low 1 prices, if his furm swarms with stock and 1 ids barns swelled out with graiu? Low ] prices cannot effect him ; ho can afford to ; wait for money he docs not owe, and very little money will answer his purpose 1 where food is abundant. So it is with the nation. Let food be everywhere abundant and cheap, and the currency may go on contracting, but the nation will bo in repose. Thc great matter which is troubling us now, is the alarming fact that tho non producing classes have grown too great and overwhelming for the producing class. Agriculture, therefore, should bo encouraged by every possible means, both by thc national and State governments. Let governments and parents make it as honorable to engage in agricultural pur suits as to become a lawyer, doctor, preacher, clerk, agent, drummer, tinker, and peddler. Lei Ihe young be taught the real merits of an intelligent agricul turist, and the great disproportion be tween the producing and non-producing classes will begin to diminish. The future safety of tho nation against famine and consequent mob-rule, demands this at our hands. The longer wc delay, thc greater will ho thc work to perform. Lot tho squandered millions by State and municipal gov( men ts bo diverted into tho encouragement of agriculture. It would accomplish wonders. SITTING-HENS.-lt is a great mistake to suppose that n hen must sit on her nest of eggs all tho time, except fifteen or twenty minutes each day, to hatch hor chicks. No ono accustomed to tho man agement of fowls would ever place a nest where it would be exposed to a strong wind from any point of tho cou pass, but the tu teing-h en should be put in some kind of an inclosure. a box cr barrel at least; then tho box ot coal-ashes (to which a handful of Stoddard's Carbolic Powder has boen added) would bo handy, so thut when she comes off she need not bo disturbed, but left entirely to her own instinct to determine when she shall go on again. Sitters will almost invariably ?tay away from their nests longer in hoi weather thou in cold, which shows that they know what they are about, and will bring out their chicks if left to regulate their own timo. We have known hens to bo off their nests four or five hours at a time, on a very hot day, without injury to the eggs.; on the contrary, we feel sure of the necessity of such prolonged absence, to give tho eggs i thorough airing. The shell being porous shows the necessity of air for incubation, and ventilation is needed where temperature runs up to 85? and upwards, or tue chicks wiii bo feeble and Hablo to disease. Experience is the best teacher, and we havo learned these thing8?by experiments in tho last thirty years.-Poultry World. CUTTHIB OUT.-Every person should know how to treat a fresh wound. Every ono is liable to bo placid in circum stances away from any surgical and ve terinary aid, where ho may save his own life, or a friend, or'a beast, simply by thc exercise of a little sense. In tho first place, close the lips of the wound with tho hands and hold them firmly together to check tho flow of tho blood until several stitches eau bo taken and a band age applied. Then bathu the wouud for a long timo in cool water. "Should it bc painful," n correspondent says, "take a panful cf burning coals and sprinkle upon them common brown sugar, and hold tho wouud in the smoko. In a minute or two tho pain will be allayed, and the recovery proceeds rapidly. In my coso a rusty nail had mado a bad wound in my foot. Thc pains and ?erv os 3 irritation wero severe. This was nil removed by holding it in the smoko fif teen minutes, and I was able to resume my reading with comfort. We havo of ten recommended it to others with like result. Last week ono of my men had a finger-nail torn out by a nair of ico tongs. It became very painful, ns wan to bo expected. Hold in sugar smoke twenty minutes, pain ceased and prom ised speedy cure. " A NEVADA PHENOMENON.-Tho Vir ginia (Nov.) Eiderpruc says that much excitement was recently created in that city by one of the strangest phenomena of .ho century. At first it had the appear ance of spark* of firo coming un through tho poofs of water beside tho street. These sparks seemed to' explode on reaching the surface, in many instances producing reports loud enough to be heard across the street, and being accom panied by a little cloud of smoke and emitting n. dru-.ldedly sulnhuroira RAI el I. After watching these' performances fer a long lime, and tracing them all along tho street, it began to bo noticed that they occurred only ou one side and that under the telegraph wires. This led to a closer examination, when tho following sup posed solution was arrived at : Thc sparks Becmcd to bo caused, by drops of water falling from tho wires, which exploded when Kt ri king the pools of water, with the effect above mentioned. This solu tion waa seemingly confirmed by tho fact that when the wire* became dry the phenomenon ceased. There still remains U> bo explained, however, why, under tho circumstances, such results should follow tho falling of the water drops from tho wires.

HOW TO INCBEASE THE FLOW OP MILK.-A lady correspondent, writing LIS from Arkansas, gives the following szcellcnt recipe to increase tho flow of milk in a cow, and we can heartily en 3 or? o it, for we have seen it tried, oho jays : "Tepid water slightly salted given twice a day will increaso the flow of milk ?mc-third ; if the cow will not drink it at Eirst trial scatter a handful of bran or meal over tho top of it. They soon be :ooio very fond of it, and will drink all you give them. I tried this plan th reo rears ago with perfect success. I had inly ono cow, ano she was tho common icrub stock of tho country, and uftcr she jegan te drink thc water, prepared os lboYC, sho furnished mo twice a day two ordinary water buckets full of milk, and jy feeding a little corn boiled with cot ton seed the milk yielded butter enough :o supply my table bountifully und leave nc a few pounds to sell every week. I rave her three gallons of water twice a lay."-Southern Industries. MIXED HUSBANDRY.-Thc farmer who keeps too much of his land in tillage ?nu-j the ncrcablo yield of his crops di minishing every year until finally the ...tl UMMMI mmnlnfnl? :_?al-> ind ho pulls up stakes, seeks some other location, and continues thc process of jxhaustion. Hy adopting a system of mixed husbandry and keeping a groatcr part of thc farm in well managed grass, a farmer eau have dairy products, beet, pork, mutton, and wool to depend on, in stead of waiting a whole year f<?r the proceeds of a crop of wheat, air* then finding out that thc yield is poor and the price low, w' :io debts and demands are gathering bulk by delay. A farmer who keeps thc greater portion of hid laud in ?;rass of thc best quality can winter a arge number of stock, make abundance of manure, iucrcasc thc fertility of his land and raise abundant crops of every kind. Having many sources of revenue, he is enabled to meet every demand and ?ave money beside. - A little bright-eyed thrcc-year-old was seated in his high chair at thc dinner table. Mamma had arranged thc little uneasy, while for tho moment his spright liness and fun had made him the observed of thc family. She had placed him snugly up to the table, pinned on his bib, and succeeded in getting the little mis chievous hands quiet and making him "hush," when father proceeded to ask thc blessing. While this was in progress, our little chubby made a discovery. It was that all the plates on the table, ex cept his own little plate, wero in one pile at "papa's place," and it seemed to him, were put there to get the benefit of tho solemn ceremony. So, scarcely waiting for the "Amen," he held out his own plato in both hands, saying,- "Please, papa, pray on my plate, too."
