'But no matter; lam 111, out of spirit*, out of humor, and will not go ; so put ' u thlnK fcway and bring me the 'Dream of w^pow.' No? that'* too melancholy : the magazine? no that'# too political, pro ving as Lord Henry ? that odious Lord i"ziln m the bookselling people would publish a pew something, lor lately tuw bxiks, with one or two exceptions, have had nothing new in them. 1 suppose you have not trot any books, Lucy Y" "Oh, no, my lady, none that you would lead, I am sure," replied the discontented damsel, displacing rather than arranging the assemblage she had laid out with no little pride on the satin couch in Lady .Lmily's dressing-room. "How do you know whether I would read them or not? What are they V" de manded her young mistress. Luoy stopped and holding u^, Lor pretty angers, that seemed formed c xpressly lor the dresses of a lady's toilet, counted, <he Bible. "Gregory's Legacy," two volumes of "Clarissa llarlowe " "The Vicar of Wakeflold," "Tho Housekeepers Assistant, "Shakespeare s Plays, " a dream book and a few songs. "That's all I can remombor, my lady." "A pretty mixture, to be suro," said the young ludy ; "only, Lucy, it astonishes me that a girl ol your sense should have such a silly thing as a dream book in your collection, It is not only silly but wicked to be superstitious, and you must uot iflve way lo such follies. " "No, my lady." "It Is so absurd to place any faith In dreams,': , "YeB, my lady." "Now don't ydu think so, Lucy ? " ''Oh, I suppose your ladyship knows." "But what do you think, Luoy 1 " V ' vhy, indeed, my lady, I think, If I may take the liberty to say so, tbat they are divine inspirations ? that is sometimes.

"IMl fctoh.lt directly, my lady," said the sapient waiting women, muttering to in the ante room, Ridiculous Indeed I She had a dream ast night, and wants to find out its mean ing, notwithstanding all she said about superstition. I never knew a young lady yet that wasn't curious about prophesies, toWtejliDg and the like. - Uut never uiind, it is possible Up t I can read her dreams as well as the book," M* Emily was as like *n? ladies, who, to use the popular phrase, "shed lustre uponthe reconi drawing-room," as it was possible tor any young lady to be.

Among our moderns nothing Is so much the mode as a spirit of luqulrf. Our young ladles must investigate everything, from the anatomical formation of a midge s wing tathe last discovery ofsclenco. Heif knowle<lge Isthe only study deemed im prudent bv obsperous, and it happened u> lLh'rfy.?,ne PW^mlly was mis AIm 1 ?l?? l?*dr never written versee, even In an album, nor studied any portion or branch of mathematics, ho as to IHlSl V" llkt her 4j>?r|eee, learned In name If not In reality. If orar udy SStliT lU40?#114 ??!?nmicingR ^n^tlon, she called in the aid of her Inoomparablo French milliner, and consigned her pretty of no.l?* oelebrated Mlllnot.e. She did not veek to daasle by her Wit, or Instruct by her wisdom. She twice suspected of wish ingthat she had been born In a humbler sphere of life, and talked, poor girl, of dls Inherited affection. Her fkther, a clever and accomplished Statesman, kindly overlooked theso little mental aberrations, and at the same time resolved, that while she thought, he would act, and thus maintain his authority. It Is not to be supposed that Emily oould have been so outrs in her sontlme. ts , if she had been brought up like the present young ladles of rank and talent, who oom taeftoe by semiring a knowledge of th? world under the caro of * pretty intrigu ante, denominated nursery-maid. No such thing. She was educated in the country by the widowed and aged parent of her deceased mother, a stately and dignified gentlewoman, as okl-fashloued at if she ad lived in the day* of Queen Anne, and full of what are now termed 1 'strange no tlons." She would persist, for instance, in using the night for sleeping and the day for oc cupation ; called even parish paupers fel low-creatures, and could never be^er suaded to admit a divorce in her housed no matter whether she were rich or powerfVil. Strange to say, she remembered to keep the Sabbath day holy, aud discharged an agent from her employ,, a man of consid erable talent, because he won the affec tions and then refused to marry a young girl, the daughter of a poor clergyman. This antediluvian lady had educated her fair charge pretty much with the saipe ideas, aud as this was the young lady's first session In London, she still retained many ancient peculiarities. 1 had almost forgotten to state that a residence in a baronial castle 1b somewhat apt to make a young lady romantic, if not superstitious. Lady Emily had lived, and loved also, when there vr<u no visible eye to watch over her wanderings at her grand mother's castle; aud whom had she loved? Some gentle shepherd, or pastoral squire with hound and horn, boisterous as the north wind, yet InBlpid as the south? No such thing. Among the visitors, and they were not numerous, who assembled occa sionally at Hallydon? such was the desig nation of the castle? the younger son of a certain house that had long been noble, but was now poor, was a decided favorite with young and old ? one of those Illus trious branches of trees rooted with the Norman Conquestu, and still flourishing though not among the wealthy of the land. Young Havereld was more distinguished at college for a bold and enterprising spirit thau for that persevering attention which leads to academic distinction'; but his honorable and frank demeanor, his manly bearing, so much beyond his years, and so different lrom the maudlin unintellec tual deportment of modem youths en sured him the good will of hiB Instruc tors, and the respect of his associates. The timid naturally love the brave ; the more they feol their own weakness, the more closely they cling to the free and fearless. This is a principle in nature ; how forcibly, then^ it. must operate in na ture's citadel-* a woman's heart 1 Lady Emily saw much of Edward Havereld to admire, and still more to love. "You go," he said, as they walked together the evening before her departure from Hallydon Castle? "you go to a world that will, to all appearance, worship a being so fair, so rich, as the Lady Emily." .'?Why do you talk of my riches, and why do you call me Lady Emily Y" in terrupted the sweet girl, looking timidly into his faoe as she olung to hiB arm with the confiding affection of seventeen. "My Smnd mother, I am sure, knows how early ? ? " \ ?'? "Your grandmother knows what, dear est?" inquired the proud lover, as his eyes rested fondly on the trembling girl; "what does your grandmother know Y "How dearly you love me, Edward," bIic replied, woman's ready wit coming to her assistance ; "and she has never pre vented our lielng together. I remember long ngo, when we used to play In this avenue? " '?And when I UBed to call you my little wife," said her lover, "and you called me by aH dear a name." "Ele, fie Edward," said Emily, "Ob, Emily," he continued, "those bappy days are past; your father will never sanction the addresses of a younger brother, and when I do meet you In Lon don you will be surrounded by a bevy of Sir Foplings and Sir Fools, aud you will be just ns pleased, I dare say, with their attentions as others 6f your inconstant Hft* " To this ill-tempered sarcasm, poor Emily made no reply ; but Edward's heart smote him when a silent tear, bo sadly, mutely eloquent, sparkled for a moment on her cheek, aud then disappeared ? one of the many, but generally unrecorded tokens of woman's sufferings and of woman's love. "Forgive me, darling,", said Edward; my vory Inability to distinguish myself makes me dread the effort* - of successful rivals ? tbla universal peace is a tad thing for us well-born but most beggarly cava Hers,, We cab not wlii^ our way to glory and to riches." "l'tichbs again, Edward? you are growu quite mertienurv." ' For your salce, dearest," h? replied. "You dp not lino# mo thtp, Edwurd. I would not barter an lota of your noble qualities for the .mines of Goloonda." "But your father would, ** *aid the young "l am not so certain about that," said Emily, " and I believe you do bitn injus tice. I am itt^e my father Is generous, *>r my mother could never have loved him. 'I "Women do uot always marry where they love," replied Edward. 'rThat la the second unjust observation that you have uttered during the last Ave minutes," retorted the lady. "I think you cannot feel ,thls reparation, Edward, or you would not he so bitter ." "Rather, Lady Emily, you do not feel it," returned Edward) "for 1 heard you laugh ing quite merrily after dinner, when you were in the muaic*rooftn listening to some folly of Vour cousin's." "The lip may laugh when the heart is heavy, Mr. Havereld ; but my cousin does not talk foolishly. " "Perhape you think htm wise ? wiser than 1 am, Lady Emily." "He I* not ao irritable, and would not so willingly wound my foellngs." This reply was sufficient to rouse the more than half Jealous lover, and a stormy scene ensued, which ended In a more stormy separation. As the old Lady of Hallydon Castle kissed the hot and fevered brow of her beloved and beautlfal grandchild, and noxt morning, the morning of her depar turo from the scenes of her happiest years, ?he earnestly and fervently bletteed fier. "May the blight and the peetltance of fashionable vice and folly pees harmlessly over you, my sweet child," fthe said . "and never forgot, morning and evening, to seek your Maker In prayer and thanks giving.; and remember the Babhath day lo keep It holy, for the day I* the lord's, ahd Its hours are only given to be used in Ills service. And, Emily, do not turn away from the remombrance or the affec tions of your early days. But why those tears, my child? and where la Edward? He Is a worthy young man, aud you otrght not to be wayward, whon parting for a short time even, and sOold a friend." '?1 have parted forever with Edward, grandmamma," murmured Emily. "A maiden's ever, dearest, In such cases It not everlasting," said the old lady. "There, God's bleaalng and mine rest with you. Write often, for your letters will cheer the lonely old woman in the dreary evenings of winter, an they have often done in that dreary Maaon, when your eye and smile were the brightness, and your voice and step the mQklc of her castle, which, like herself, la ytatllng to decay." And Emily did write ofterfs^ and at first, her letter* told of regrets of two quiet she had left; aud Umm oame aooounta of operas end flagged lions w grand mot Ed was no Present) sacrificing lit! cat coot lady's ea<, as she wish he "woo ance at her rather1 Emily, M "dreamt a it quits f" When lady's ana most _ her Itum appearand "1 dop5? but soon the spirit weariness and YexM " ; and though fier that she frequently ?ereld In society, yet there of his name. i that the earl intended . jhter to wealthy or po rtions, smote upon the old she wrote requesting, that most particularly to see him, *"~Jt delay, make his appear i Castle.

Pocktof the LaCrosse tfun, rocently delivered an addros? before the Wisconsin State Dairyman's Asso ciation. The following Is a?* extract from the witty dooument : Fellow Oreain&itoniMfi,: Itt calling . upon mo, oathlwbecasioh, to enlighten you upon a subject that Is deaf to lH?' hearts of all Amofioans, you have got the right man iiifthe right place. It makos mo proud , to come to my old home and unfold truths that hard been folded since 1 cadi retnemtor. ft nay be said by scoflfori*ftnd it has been said to-day, In my prtftpnoe, that 1 didn't know enough to eV?n milk a cow. I deny the allegation^ show JAe the alll gator. If any; J got a cow here borrow a qlotT ?on whether Or, If there handy, I will ~*rnnn*, l will ,1 ? ft cow or ohetse mine _ itiate that |h The manufacture of cheese and butt* I has been among the earliest industries Away back In ?ne history of the worWy we find Adam and Eve oonveying tliei j milk fVom the garden of Eaen, Ur one-horse wagon to the cool sprii cheese factory, to be weighed in balance. Whatever may be said Adam and Eve to their discredit in marketing of the products of orchard, it has never been chi_, that they stopped at the pump and. water in their milk cans. Doubt, yon all remember how Cain killed brotHr Abel because Abel would i.-? let b in do the churning. We can pic^ turn Cain and Abel driving muley I cows up to the house from tho part iu the southeast corner of the garden, and Adam standing at the bars with'** tin pail and a three-legged stool, smofc] ing a meerschaum pipe and. winging, 1 "Hold tho fort for I am coming through! the rye," while Eve sat on the verau*! dah altering over her last years polM naise, and winking at the devil who" stood behind tho milk house slngingtf uIwant to be au angel." After he' got through milking he came up and' saw Eve blushing, aud he mM "Madame, cheese it, ' and she eliose it- *aiK36 But to come down to tho present i day, we find that oheeso has become ( one of the most important branches oft manufacture. It is next in lmport?j ance to the sliver interest. And fellow l cheese-mongers, you are doing yoorf | selves great injustice that you do not* petition Congress to pass a bill to jrfey monetize cheese. There is taorecheim raised in this country than tlierevfl silver, and it is more valuable. . Su iK>seyou had not eaten a mouthftal 30 days, and you should have on the table oefore you. ten un stamped out of silver bullion on^ ? plate aud nine dollars stamped out cheese bullion on' another plate.: W1 would you take first? Though face value of the nine oheese dolL?? would be ten per cent. below the face< value of the ten silver dollars, you i would take the cheese. You could use] It to better advantage in your basing Hehoe, 4 ?ay, cheese Is more v*lu#t than silver, aud it should be mad*> gal tender for all debts, public and pi vatej except pew-rent. I may be. .1 adyance of other eminent financleiu^ who lm vi) studied the currency ques tion, but 1 want to see the time come, ? ] and I trust the^day is not flar distant when 412} grains of oheese Will equal to a dollar In codfish,, and wl the merry jingle of siloes Of che, shall be heard in every pocket* Tfl every cheese ifcetory can make its oi coin, money will be plenty, evei * ' will oe happy, and there any more war.

The /?tfhufacture of cheese is a busi jMstfihaf a poor man can engage In as well as a rich man. 1 say it without fear of succossftxl contradiction, and Bay itftoldly, that a poor man with, say 200 cows, if be thoroughly under stands his ^>usiu*!ss, can market more cheese than a rich man who owns 300 oxen. '"'.This is susceptible of demon ;Stration. If my boy showed a desire to become a statesman, I would say to him, "young man, get m&rrled, buy a muley cow, go to Sheboygan county, and . ^ tart a cheese factory. " Speaking Of cows, did itjever occur to you, gen tleman, what a saving it would be to yqu if you should adopt muley cows instead of hofhed cattle? It takes at , least three-tons of ay and a large quantity 0r grouuJ feed annually to keof> .a pair of horns fat, and what earthly use aro theyV Statistics show that there are annually killed 45.000 Grangers by cattle with horns. You , f>ass laws to muzzle dogs, because one ; n ten thousand goes mad, and more people are killed by eattle horns than by dogs. What the oountry liioeds is more muley cows.

Why1 should cheese be mad ? round? I am in'cliiled to the belie ' that the making of oheese round is 1 superstition.

It transcends any *)ther single agricul tural Industry. TThls State is credited with 1, GOO, 000 cows, and If we estimate the income per head at only $40 ? which lr below the aveiage of the last fire years? it gives an aggregate of $00,000,000 annually. This represents about one-seventh of the dai?y interest of the United States. We shall there fore be pardoned for frequent refer ence to this great industry. Dairy ? -luots are now depressed below any t reached since 1801. But this is the fate of almost every other ag ttural product with, perhaps, the ption of the best beef animals on ? All mechanical industries are Afi& the bottom prices. &iall all *e industries, therefore, btmlband irned or largely reduced? Certainly liot. Daily products stand at the head ?f household necessities. No house Keeping, worthy of the name, can be carried on without them. This is the time for the application of skill. Skill Wft win. When a certain class of *ucts bring a high price, and are _ rly sought as soon as they reach market, the producers are apt to be Stoelces of quality since remunerative '"'"a are Bo easily made. , But when tnarket becomes heavy and prices 'below reimineratlve rates, the pro nrs having the requisite courage determination to succeed, study to Improve the quality of tlie artl and thus give an exceptional value ' and an extended market.

The suggestion is certainly a good one and we believe the men com posing our army would welcom#afid relish It* The esse with which It can t>e transported and the fact that it does note asily spoil aro strong points in favor of its adoption. The army, now com posed of 26,000 men, woUla roqulre of cheese as a ration alK>ut r>0,000 pounds per week, or at at the rate of 2,540,000 pounds annually. Ho says one of ouc< exohanges. The amount of cheese cow sumed In each year would add con siderably to the demand for good chafes , and at the same time cultivate ajpore extensive taste for the article, wh?h at the *>resent time isused only to a Umlted extent In this country.

A SIMIM.K lNSTUl'UEN T TO COLLECT DISTANT SdUNIW AN1> I Alt U Y Til KM WITHOUT LOSS OF TOLUMK. Cue of the defects of Edison's tc!e phoue, with it* complexities of electric, lottery, disks, - and mouth aud ear tubes, is iu its Inability to receive other sounds thuu tlioso uttered directly into the mouth-plot*. or emit those carried with suiliciont force to be luard agaiu at a greater distance than an iuch or two from the ear tube. This delect was partly remedied when Mr. Edison Invented his microphone, an instru ment which magnifies sound. The whole is very complicated, however, and fails to reproduce sounds in their original strength of volume, or to re ceive sounds which are not especially directed against the disk of the receiv ing instrument. it is not a little strango that the only important improvement upon the telephone, by which sounds uttered at large in a room can be gathered up. transmitted, and as loudly diffused again, should have been perfected m a country village by men who make no pretensions whatever as scientists. The professor takes the longest way around, and Ute school-boy finds the shortest way home. Mr. Israel D. Jewett. of Saint Omer, Decatur county, (nd., lias perfected an instrument which', without the aid of electricity, carbons, or any complex machinery, is working satisfactorily over a line three^iuarters of a mile in length. When the roporter entered the "curi osity shop" of the Messrs. Jewett, ho found a group of neighbors gathered in the store listening to a conversation betweeu the elder Jewett in the store and his wife at their residouce ou the hill, quarter of a mile away. Mr. Jewett was leaning against the edge of tho counter, thfeo?or four l'ect in front of a little iustruaient attached to the case of post-office > boxes, and which seemod to be nothing more than a Bquare wooden box, the front end open, and the rear connected with a tlue wire running through the window. He spoke in an easy and natural tone, apparently directing his words to some other object than the instrument. The replies came baQL with such distinct ness that they were understood equally as well in the farthest corner 01 the store as at the mouth of the instru ment. Mr. Jewett then asked "Mrs. Jewett to sing, and the words of the pretty hymn, "Chrer There," tilled the room. The only difference apparent t>etween the tone lufc^avd and the original was to have been uttered in^ BkL'g through an ' "" re ;ht rear ^y a Mrs. Jewett then^ KySian air on an organ, standing back of the agopliono eight or ten feet, ^hd every note was heard by all in th? drug store with equal distinctness.

Why Should farming not b6 soieu .ific V Because the manufacturer labors n a scientific way ; his prolits are jreater and surer than those of the igrlculturlst who has neither machinery mr system ; but it is the unreasonable *.UHtom of many to sneer at all lunova ions, and to look at all methodic variations upon old usages as the fancl ul and unprotltable schemes of vision iries with more niou&y than common ?nse. It is the people who sneer that ire usually most deficient in the latter piallty, however ', and had they a little nore of It they might perceive that lareful book-keeping and the adoption >f improved methods and" implements ire as necessary in farming as in any >ther business. In a side hollow of that hill from vhlch Litchfield first became visible to is several very dlBtlnct echoes can be tbtalned, and this responsiveness of he u purple glens" gave a name to this arm. It is Echo Farm? a pretty aud loetlcally suggestive name, Indeed, vhlch conjures up visions of loveliness, md sets one to dreaming of intertwin ng vines knitting their pliant tendrils tod sweet-scented leaves through the lospitable porch and open lattice ; the iheckered orchard of tVuity abundance; he garrulous brook that never tires of ts own monody ; the reverberant hills hat appease life's turmoil with their iasY undulations ; lofty barns, mossy vitli age, and clattering mills down in he seclusion of grassy hollows. But, ilas I dear reader, model farming is i6t idyllic or Arcadian ; it is inflexibly ifojlitarlan ; it keeps allits buildings in i perfect state of repair ; It subordinates he picturesque ll^ever recognUes It; v. ~ away the vines that obw _ aud it looks ijpou everything with a pair of the most practical eyes set in a head that weighs, measures, audits and Analyze^ with chemical exactness. The proprietor of Echo Farm conducts it as a manufactory. A record is kept of the milk and butter produced by each cow for each day, each month, each year ; all tho feed is weighed, anu tho quantity entered upon books both that purchased and that produced, and a separate account is kept of tho yield of each field. Nothing is wasted, nothing done by guessing, and nothing passes unrecorded. The implements are of the latest or most approved model. Throe sets of ,l horse*1 hay forks are In use, by which hay is un loaded at the rate of a ton in four fork fuls and in four minutes, including, iu some instances, tho carriage of tho nay 150 feet. The other machines also em body some novel labor-saving princi ples. No manure or fertilizers are round necessary, except tho 1,500 loads made upon tho farm and a sort of muck, of which there are aevwral hfldn. The history of the farm is interest ing. A gentleman of education, intel ligence and wealth came to Litchfield some nine years ago in search of a sum mer home. He had the most super flcial knowledge of farming, and enter tained no intention of entering that business* But having purchased sixty six acres and oleared them, he pur chased additional tracts, which became the nucleus Of Echo Farm, whose area is now about ,400 acres; His interest Was enlisted in the raising of choice stock, and beginning with a herd of five, he has gradually increased tho number to 100, all the herd being pure Jerseys,, with authentic and valuable pedigrees. The rooky fields were cleared, laid out, and inclosed by mas sive stonewalls. Old and inadequate buildings on the consolidated land were demolished, and new ones of improved pattern erected. In 1878 a barn of 06 feet by 25 was bill If, an addition, 100 feet by 40, fa* "made the following year; and in 1 87ft another addition was made, o? 191 by 8ft feet. These three buildings form the thrfee sides of the barnVara. They ar? built ot pine upon massive granite foundations, about two feet wide, whtoh are laid in. cement. All the woodwork Is painted a Srift drab color, even the proprietor's resldenco and the telegraph poles that line tho roadway. A desire for simplicity and durability in preference to ornamenta tion or showlness is vifttble everywhere; there is no litter, and there are no gaps in the fences or walls, which are from eighteen inches to twenty-four in thick ness, over y crovico l>olng filled like a mosaic with a stone that exactly 8 ts it. Care, thrift and ingenuity have acted like three charms. When the fields were being cleared, suoh large quantities of Stones Were gathered that some perplexity arose as to where they should be put. Many hundreds of loads were used in the foundations of the buildings, in the fenoes, and in Oil ing ravines, but mofe remained, ahd these were deposited upon several ster ile hillocks of no value, where masses of swamp grass were laid Over them, and covered with a light dressing of soil. Grass seed was sown upon ths soil, and it took well, soon transform ing the barron heaps to verdant knolls, whose blade* are remarkably hardy. It was not so much for the sake of the land gainod that the stones were thus disposed of. but it was Yather to pre vent the formation of nurseries for weeds, shrube and brambles, which tho heaps would have quickly become. Two and a half acres are planted with beets, which are the only roots fed to the cattle, the crop averaging 1,000 bushels an acre, and more than 3)000 tons of hay are housed a year.? (W. H.
