Uncle Joshua Grey owned a fine farm in the neighborhood of the Hudson Highlands. lie was rich enough to retire ; but he couldn’t hear to give the farm up, declaring that seed time and harvest had beâ€" come actual necessities of life to hint. and he must‘go on sewing and ' reaping until the sickt-l of the Grcat- Reaper should lay him out of sight- of the harvest moon forever. lie Worked with his men like one of themselves; told them many stories when thcyv tank thcii' ‘nnoning’ and was, the first to pass round the bottle at afternoon lunch.

Uncle Joshua liked his joke, and liked to have his own way. His wife had been dead many years, and he had never signed away his liberty as he termed it, by marrying the second time. His lioaSehold comprised one Widowed :ister, older than himself, his own daughter Fanny, as sweet a girl as ever was born to a farmer, and one servant. Uncle Joshua almost idolized Faun v. He sent her to school, and had her instructed in all the higher branches of studv, including whatever ae- complislnnents she chose to acquire. Besides the asparagus bushes and peacock feathers which always occupied Uncle Joshua’s parlor in summer time, there were a number of things worked in worsted, such as yellow lambs standing on blue grass, and cottage scenes with a setting sun illuminating a green sky, of which Uncle Joshu was justly proud, for Fanny ‘ did’ them, and he had roundly paid to have her learn. ‘ Uncle Joshua would not let Fanny sit down at the same table with his ‘ hande well enough for him to do so, he said, but that was no reason why Fanny should. Ilc didii’t think a dozen dirty men, rocking with perspiration and COVered with dust, was a sight likely to add to a young girl’s appetite: so Fanny ate her meals alone, save when she t r i ~ . . f _ Joshua filled With two long whilfs at? his pipe. married, Uncle Joshua ?’ *days, will be just such a stolid old man!’ ‘But you will dispensi: with all that while he is here, I hope.

Now, Fanny had a cousin, :1 tall, handsome, merry-hearted chap, who‘ had charge of the neighboring farm. Many were lliU'SlClgll rides they had together, in the long cold winters, and many the chat at the bars When Fanny, just for the sake of the walk, used to go down to the three cornered lot to bring home the cows. One time when cousin Na- than had taken Fanny to a dance, some ten miles from home, and she had been so sought after all the evening that st‘e had only been his partner once, he discovered that his‘lieart had passed out of his pos- sessir'm altogether, and on going home he charged Fanny with hav- ingl'thc knowledge of his where- abouts. Anyhow, he said, she was the last one who had it. Fanny but Nathan didn’t see it, his eyes‘ were so full of future desolation and loneliness. ‘Uncle Joshua, let me see Fanny, just to bid her good bye.’ Nathan had been blind when Uncle Joshua held out his hand. Uncle Joshua was deal'now, when Nathan , made his request. He passed into the house and closed the door be- hind him, shutting Nathan out with an air of utter unconsciousness, and! led Fanny back into the house just, as she was coming through the halll to join him. * ‘Faun ',’ said Uncle J0shua,draw-‘ ing a letter from his pocket, ‘yotr have heard me often speak of Simoui Jacobs, haven’t yeti .’ Well, here isl a letter from him stating that his‘ son's health is not very excellent, and he is anxious to find for him some quiet country home where he chickens not yet ready to be hatched. Fanny had scarcely reached the hay mow, when she heard Uncle Joshua enter the stable below, and commence to dcscant upon the fine guest ‘I would just like to get a peep at that young man, thought Funny. and stealing to the edge of the mow, she ventured to look down into the stable below. Alas for Funny!â€" The board on which she stood tip- ped with her weight, and, in a cloud of hay and dust, down she went, alighting squarely on the back of that ‘ off ox.‘ Had a witch upon a broomstlck f: not shame ; but Uncle Joshua took hei the graceful little figure presiding TOBACCO. at the table was the same which had come down upon him with From a book entitled “The use such a perfect rush, as” he termed it, ,and abuse of Tobacco,” by John from the barn. Unfortunately for iLizars, late Professor of Surgery to Fanny, she had a face which once the Royal College of Surgeons, and seen is never forgotten; and late Senior Operating Surgeon to the though she had combed her hair difâ€" i Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, we fereutly and changed her dress, and extract the following l l points of that ‘ ofl'ox ’ to his young, then before him, our Jacobs could have been more astonishedâ€"â€" Fanny could cry with vexation and decked her hair with daisies, Mr. Jacobs made up his mind that it was the same head which he had seen dccltcd in dust and hay seed a little while before, 'Never mind,’ thought Fanny, I’ll disguise myself in a dress to- morrow. I’ll finish that blue silk which father brought me fro ii New York and then he’ll be sure I’m not that dusty little wretch he saw out in the barn.’ With a heightened color, she talked to Mr. Jacobs, and the evening slipped away so delightfully, that the young man retired with the firm conviction that country air was already domg him much good. The next forenoon when the house was quiet,and Fanny imagined that Mr. Jacobs was out in the fields with her father, she took out her blue silk dress, and commenced sewing upon it. Hard as she tried to keep up her indignation for Na- than’s quiet desertion, her heart would swell and soften in spite of herself, and the blue silk dress would have been ruined, if salt water could have spotted it. Finally she threw aside her morning wrapper, and tried on the new waist to see how it would fit, for Fanny was her own dress-maker. Uncle Joshua’s house had no superfluous furniture, and the only mirror it contained hung in the parlor down stairsâ€"â€" Fanny thought she would run down while no one was about, and see how her dress looked very sweetly with her bare neck and arms swelling out from the unfinished waist, and her white skirt, contrath- ing with the rich blue silk. She walked into the curtaincd parlor,‘ turned herself around and around before the glass, and well pleased with the figure she saw reflected there, she made a smiling bow to it,‘ stepped back a few paces 'and curt- sicd, held out her hand in a most bewitching manner, and said, ‘how do you do 7.’ then she, suddenly drew herself up and stood as transfixedâ€"â€" stared wildly at the glass. then cov- ered her face with her hands and darted from the room. \Vhat had she seen there? 'It was another face beside her own, with eyes full of a kind of amused pity, and mouth struggling to keep from breaking into a smile! Fanny knew it was Mr. Jacobs’ ace; that he was sit- ting at the opposite side ofthe room â€"-the darkness of which had pre- vented her from discovering him when she first enteredâ€"that he saw all her rid‘culous gestures and her strange attire! (To be concluded in. our next.) EMPI.OY.\IICICI'T.â€"â€"Il is dangerous for a man of superior ability to find himself thrown upon the world without some regular employment. The restlessness inherent in genius, being left thus undirected by any permanent influence, frames to itself occupations out of accident. Moral .lntcgi'ity sometimes fall a prey to ltlie want of fixed pursuit, and the man who receives his direction in Sailors and navvics smoke more than any other class. The sailorl uses from eight ounces to sixteen ounces of tobacco per week; the navvy, eight or tenounccs, but part of this is chewed. Bad taste in the mouth, with sometimes an angry, irritable point on the tongue, lips, or fauces, which prevents him from smoking for a few days, are the only bad results I have observed.â€" It does not appear to affect the sys- tem of either of these classes. The miner uses above eight ounces per week. Often breathing an impure air, the tone of his system is low- ered, and then tobacco exorts its baueful influence on him. He is subject to dyspeptic, billious, and nervous attacks, while those who do not smoke are invariably the health- lest. Now, let the sailor or navvy take sedentary employment, and in a short time tobacco-smoking be- gins to make him shake, his mouth feels clammy, and he has a bad taste in it; he looses to a great extent his fine gustatory sense ; his appetite becomes capric- ious ; he feels languid and indolent ; his memory becomes confused, he has cardiarlc disturbance. A strong constitution may resist it a” few years, but ultimately gives way.â€" It is generally supposed that those who labor in the open air are ex- empted from its bad effect. Yhis is only the case in certain conditions ; they must be well fed. On the la- borer with Iow wages, it exerts its baueful influenceâ€"first from its ef- fects; secondly, from squatideriug a large portion of that which should go to nourish him, whereby he is still further debilitated. I may mention a curious fact,tnot generally known, but which re- quires only to be tried,â€"viz. that no smoker can think steadily and continuously on any subject while smoking. He cannot follow outa train of ideasâ€"to do so he must lay aside his pipe. On the question of smoking, Pro- fessor Lizars quotes from a brother professor these words : “I know of no vice which does so much harm as smoking. It is a snare anda delusion. It soothes the nervous system at the time, but to render it more irritable and more feeble ultimately. It is like opium in that respect ; and if you want to know all the Wretchcdness which. this drug can produce, you should read 'Confessious of an Opium Eater.’ I can always distingursh by his complexion a man who smokes much ; and the appearance ' which the faces present is an un- erring guide to the habits of. such a man. believe that cases of gen. oral paralysis are more frequent in England than they used to be, audI suspect that smoking tobacco is one, of the causes of that increase. ONE FRIEND.- How pleasant a thing it is to have a friend to whom we can unbosom our feelings when the world is harsh to us, and dark- ness has settled on the face of na- active life from the fortuitous im- pulse of circti'iistai’icc, will be apt to receive his principles likewise from chance. Genius under such guidâ€" ance, attains no noble ends, but rc- scmblcs rather a large spring con- veyed in a fallen acqut-duct, where the waters continually escape through the frequent crevices, and wastes themselves inefl'ectually on their passage. The law of nature is here, as elsewhere, binding, and no powerful results over ensue from the trlval exercise of high end-ownients. The finest mind, when thus destitute of a fixed purpose, passes away without leaving permanent traces of its existence, losing its energy, by turning aside from its course. it beâ€" comes as harmless and inefficient as the lightning, which, of itself irre- sistible, may yet be rendered pchr- less by a slight conductor. ....a A newâ€"inarried lady, who, as in duty bound, was very fond of her husband, not-' ture. The outgushings of love and tenderness revive and cheer usâ€" drive away sadness from the bosom, and brighten the haven again. He who has one friend cannot be wholly cast down, can never be dri- ven to despair.

SWEARING.â€"A man that swears is like a man‘tliat fires a gun in the street with- out seeing where the charge is going to strike. When a person uses profain lang- uage he does not know what or whom it is going to injure. It is a habit which comes upon a man gradually, but grows rapidly. It demoralises a mans conscience, Wounds his honour, injures his own soul, and hurts the feelings of others.

Don’t dry your hay too macho-Hay may be dried till it is as worthless as straw. As a good coffee-maker would say, “ don’t burn your-coffee, but brown it ;” so we say, don’t dry your hay, but cure it. Our good old mothers, who relied upon herb tea, instead of“ ’pothccary me- dicine,” gaiiiered their herbs when in the blossoms, and cured them in the shade. This is the philosophy of making good hay. Cut iii the blossom, and cure in the shade. The sugar of the plant, when it is” in bloom, is in the stalk readyto form the seeds. Iftlie plant is cut earlier,- the sugar is not there ; if later, the sugar has become converted .to woodv matter. Hay should be well wilted in the sun, but c'ured in the cock. ietter to be a little too green than too dry. if, on putting it into' the barn, there is danger of ‘ heating in the mow,’ put on some salt.â€"~.-4 Cattle will like it none the less.

FARMERS’ KITCHEN GARDEN. THE .â€" It is to be regretted that among farmers generally so little attention is paid to gardening. The farmer’s garden is too often left to the care of women and children, and if any work is required to be done in it by stronger hands than theirs it is too often put off from time to time, with the exclamation, ‘Oh, we are all so busy now, we can’t be both- ered with the garden.’ Or if the labor is given at the request ofsome dearly loved wife or sister, it is perhaps grudgingly bestowed, and some inexperienced man or stable boy sent to perform the uuenvicd task, So great, in our opinion, is the value of a garden, well stocked with vegetables of every kind, that if too busy to attend to it ourselves, we should not hesitate to employ an experienced hand, even at considerâ€" able expense, to put into proper orâ€" ‘der every spring, after which the care of the garden and cultivation of the plants in it. would become a source of pleasure as well as profit. If there are some ‘big boys ’ in the family, it is good policy to consign the care of the garden entirely to one of them, and as an incentive to attend well to it, purchase for him a stock of garden tools, seeds, and one or two good practical works on her- ticulture, and allow him to sell the surplus vegetables not required for family use to whom he may What is the more value of money, in com- parison to having health and enjoy- ing the comforts of a civilized life, toward which nothing conduces more than having the table plenti- fully supplied with wholesome vege» tables, both summer and winter.- The farmer’s kitchen garden is too often an obscure patch somewhere out of sight at the back of the house, where all the slops are thrownâ€"the clothes hung out to dry on lliC few currant bushes growing thereâ€"the fowls allowed to scratch for a living in summer, and the begs to root in autumn and winter. What wonder. then, if it becomes the nursery ground for weeds, and is an eyesore to the place? Better plough it up at once, and seed down to grass, than allow it to remain thus. Others, again, with every disposition to do justice to their garden, yet turn it into an orchard, by filling it with hay, out of it ; and with the addition of a shower, render it almost worth- less. Grass cur d with the least exposure to the drying winds and searching sunshine, is more nutritioss than if longer exposed, however good the weather may be. Ifover- cured, it contains more woody fibre, and less nutritive matter. The true art of hayâ€"making, then, consists in cutting the grass when the starch and sugar are most fully developed, and before they are converted into seed and woody fibre ; and curing it up to the point when it will an- swer to put in the barn without heat-v ‘ing and no morc.~â€" 0. Farmer. A ’ READY Renameâ€"We have recently asccytained that the saliva in drying forms a thin and delicate varnish, that may be used to great advantage for burns, as well as for those inconvenient infiamations or swelling in the corner of the eye, known as styes. The varnish is of course purer some time after eating, and more concentrated before than after eating. Ifa small burn, which does not destroy the skin, is immedi- ately moistened from the mouth and blown upon at intervals, the evapor- ation by the current of air will cool the surface, and more quickly form a varnish by repetitious, and a two- fold beuefit thus results. A stye in the 0) e, if taken at the first com- mencement, may be soon cured in the same way, being careful to ap- ply it some time after eating or drinking. Varnish has long been known as an excellent cure ,for burns if applied immediately, and this is a verp ready and good one.â€" Country Gentlemanâ€" M \Vheu a young girl leaves her paternal home to become a wife, it is to enter upon- and assume the responsibility of a new set of duties, and her first obedience should be to her husband. The love of father, and especially of mother, may linger in her fond gating heart; and until the ,novelty of her situation as a wife has some- what worn away she may have yearnings for the fireside and loving face that beamed upon her from infancy to maturity. All such feelings are natural, but; they should not be indulged in too freely, as they tend to engender a dangerous, morbid feeling. Love for parents is the most spiritual portion of our emotional nature, and in a properly balanced mind will coâ€"exist with love for a husband. The latter affection, howeicr, as regards the new life thrown on her young heart, claims the first rank. Every married woman should love her husband, her parents, and her brothers andsisters, aad the combined feelings, the whole in one, of womanly love in marriage, were intended to work harmoniously, and they generally do so, the interuptions and dislocations of the system being chiefly caused by external influences. “ A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS?â€" It is a common request; but how many pennies it would take to buy some thoughts! IIow many blissful dreams would be (lisv solved could they be purchased and made known; how many hearts that now throb peacefully would be aching; how many sni'iiisliliiy faces would be clowded with gloom! And yet there two sides to this, as well as to most questions. How much more the the offered “penny” is the kind thought! \Vithhold not that! It were feet to the crpplcd wings to the leadenâ€"hcart- ed-iuanna to the laiiiisliiiig in this world’s wilderness. There are a thousand ways in which a skilful physician can give a drop of balm. A cheery look, or smile, even towards a stranger, will sometimes turn the whole current of his miserable thoughts, beguile him out of his downeast looks and morbid reflections. Don’t wait for an iii- troduction to a drowaiag man. Throw him a rope, and pull him out; never mind what his name is~-briag him ashore. T m E Maven.
