That it is that is burning. Tho Hilmes arc already above, the roof. The stnokc is bursting- from the windows. There are human beings in ihn tipper story; The staircase's tii e "tit. id! by fiie.

Once more be climbed lip th'ei ladder, actuated by' the tear that a singlehuman being may perish should he not make the exertion. When he reached the window the smoke is pouring from it in volumes. He does not hesitate, but gropes : his way along the passage, nearly suffocated by I be dense smoke whicl rushes along the corridors its through the. funnel of a b'tist furnace. This par ticular hallway is deserted, or if there is left any sleeper, the smoke has al ready carried him into that deeper sleep froin which there is no awaken ing. The hot fllimes begin to take the place of black smoke, nud Charley 'I iotnan is forced to the window at which he has entered. lie is on the sill. Ho .looks for the bidder on which be bail ascended. Horror of horrors! It is gone! His compan ions have forgotten hi hi and removed the ladder to another window. Below is the vast sra of human hues lit up by the gbirc ol the flames.

Ten thous and fancies flash at once through his quickened mind. The boy at his mothers knee?the young man? ?among his school companions?the man among the hard realities of life. Tlu re is in the picture a young face, fair, soft, and set off by a wealth of brown hair. There is a father, a sister. Tl ere tire scenes of wild recklessuc-s There are hundreds of acts that?oh, if they had never been committed ! From below come the confused shouts of the multitude. Whilo he stands irresolute, the heat at his back grows stronger; and over Ids head the (lames mount up higher into the heavens. There is but one- hope. Ten pace* away is the ladder. He mustjump for it. There is small chance that he will reach the rungs, but if. is the only one. There is a moment's prayer?per haps the first for long, long years. A glance at the fearful gulf beneath, a glance at the brilliant heavens. His friends see him spring into the air, und they 1>tar, even above the pull'of the engines, the dull thud . us his hands'strike the rungs of the ladder. I Ih n a body hills through the air. The crowd turn away in horror, and it comes crashing oil to the bricks, Changing in one awful instant that slnriwart ' form into a shapeless mass ol b'roki n bones and bleeding lies hi It is lifted up slowly,'careftllly, and carried hack into the room where the scene opened, and from which only a short hulf hour before Charley Tie man had gone forth full of life and health. The Life of an Actress. fhose who are of the opinion that the path of tin actor or actress is strewn with EUSf?; v:i.'.L wVn'm otherwise when the truth is made public. Miss Neilsoii, who may for various icasous be supposed enabled to enjoy its foci lilies in the greatest plehtitude, und avoid its troubles with more th n usual tact, gi/es the following us her experience. She is, speaking to a San Francisco re parier: 'My daily life.is bare ami simple enough, though it may seem smooth and pleasant to one who looks iit it froth tin; footlights. An artist lives :i lifo of drudgery and slavery. >he lias im rest and. scarcely Linie to cat or sleep. This is my daily routine: Iii the morning I rise be tween S nod I) o'clock. I first attend to my business letters,and I study for an hour. Then I walk to rehearsal, which lasts from two to lour hours. This is particularly trying It the play is new to the company, then I have to tell t' ctn all about the "busi ness'; and if it is not now, my 'busi ness' is different from that of the star that preceded me, and much that I hey do has to be changed for my convenience. It is very hard upo u members of the company sometimes, but it cannot be helped. The rehear sal over, I coiiie home and receive , ea'lers for an hour, after which I. dine and take a short nap, when I have to get ready for the evening performance. This is the mere work, but there is tin care and annoyance besides. When I am ?b put to p'ay a new character, for a fortnight before the opening night I get so nervous that I can neither cat nor sleep. I generally walk to and from I he theatre for the benefit of the air and exercise. The evening performance once commenced, if I am acting a part whose emotions carry me away, I enter fully into the spirit of it, anil think no more of my self until the curtain falls for the last time." Eoumuuia is nominally a Turkish province. It is a fertile country, inhabited by Greek Christians, and governed by amemberofthehouse which has for its head the Emperor ol Germany, It consists of Moldavia and Wallnchia?two provinces so called that contain nearly five mil lions of people.

Southern (.'u/tivafor. Corn. "When, how ofton and , in what way d<> you work corn ?" The first working of corn is usually gt von immediate!y after the cotton is planted.'' The earlier the better, ns it is up and has three or four blades. It should in its fust working be plow ed very close and deep. I use a long scooter plow and the hoes should lol !6\y close after the plows, thinning to one stalk and dressing off the hill, removing every particle of grass and leaving the hill soft and clean, throw ing n little dirt around the stalk. Twenty or twenty five days after that plough again, very thoroughly and close, using a plow that will lap the dirt around the stalk, covering up all little grass about the cor.?! The hues should , if possible, follow the plows again, cleaning such hills as may not be thoroughly cleaned by the plow-, thineing out all surplus stalks, pull ing off suckers, etc. A,very slight hoeing will do at this time if the plows have done their duty, and in old and light land, the plows may so do they woik as not to make it abso lutely necessary to'hoe it at all. In 'abont'twenty or-t wenty-five days from the first working, commence the lay ing by. If the ground has been well plowed previously and no very heavy ra its have intervened, this last plow ing may be done very well with a sweep, but generally a shoved plow is best.
