KISSED BY MISTAKE. ‘ Will you be at home tonight, Hetty ?’ and the speaker, a tall, muscular. well-looking young far- mer. reddened to the very roots of his hair, as though he had committed some very wicked act. instead of asking a simple question. He was bashful, extremely so was Josiah Howliy; at least in the pre- sence of young ladies; most of all, in the presence of the girl he loved. NO young farmer in all the country possessed a better kept farm, or talked with more confidence among his compcers of stock and crops, and on kindred subjects. But the glimpse flash of lightning. On such occa- 'Vllll his hands and eyes; and always felt like screwing himselfinto a mouse hole. .How he ever contrived to ap- proach Hctty on the subject of his preference for her, probably remains himself as it is to others. But that young lady had quite an amount of tact and cleverness stowed head, albeit it was set on the dimp- lcd, incchi‘ienced shoulders of Josiah was worth, in a worldly way, much more than any Of her other suitors; good-looking, and intelligent enough to satisfy any but an over-fasti Iious person; unex- ceptionable, in short, barring his ex- cessivc bashfulness, which was a fruitful source of merriment among the young people in their little cir- cle. And so, when Josiah, in his akaard blundering wav, began to exhibit his preference for her in va- rious little ways, such as waiting oh her to and from Singing school, constituting himself her escort when she rode on horseback to the solitary church in the woods, and singling her out at quilting parties. ‘Hetty took it all in the pleasantest manner possible. The girls laughed, and the young men cracked sly jokes at the expense of her timid suitor; but Hctty stood up for him very inde- pendently; encouraged him out of his shyness; never noticed any un- ‘The Bottle,’ showing the commencement, awful progress, and destructive consequences of drum-drinking.

That was just a week ago. Ilet- rolled uponyghe iietlrtli,itln(l puss Was ty had said ‘ch,’ and agreed to ‘ bring father and mother around on the subject.’ Josiah had not been to the house since, probably feeling very much like a dog venturing upon the premises of the person whose sheep-fold he had just plundered. As yet neither had the courage to speak to the ‘reigning powers’ on the subject; and Holly, feeling as if she wished to-put the ordeal off as long as possibleâ€"at any rate, to have one more confidential talk with him on the subject, said: ‘ Mother is going to Aunt Ruth’s to spend the evening, and wants me to go; but I guess I won’t. l’ve been working‘on father’s shirts all day, besides doing the dairy work, and I’m tired as can be. $01 guess they’ll have to go without me. Don’t come until 8 o’clock. I shall be through putting these things to rights then, and will let you in. Of course Josiah was not too ob- tuse to understand that, and forgot his bashfulness so far as to petition for a good-bye kiss, which was per- emtorily refused of course. ‘ No,”1 shan’t. Do take yourself off. Think I didn‘t see you fidget- ing around Sarah Jones at Deacon Ladget’s yesterday evening? I’ve not forgotten that, sir.’ ‘ How, Hetty 1’ But the appeal was broken off by a tantalizing little laugh; and as he sprang forwaru to take a pleasing revenge of his tormentress, she slip- ped away and ran up the path to the house, where he saw her Wave her hand as she disappeared within the kitchen porch; and then he turned from the gate and took the road homeward. The tea things were then carried out, the table set back against the wall, the crumbs brushed from the clean homcoinade carpet, and Hetty’s work-stand .drawn up in front of the blazing fire. A bountifully piled waiter of great red apples and a plate of cracked walnuts were on, in close proximity to Hctty’s work- basket. On one side of the fire sat Mrs. Thomas, fat and fair. and at peace with all the world, rocking and knit- ting, and refreshing herself at sun- dry intervals with a bite of a half eaten apple that lay on the corner of the table, and touching every now and then in a carressing manner with her. foot a sleek, lazy-looking cat that purred and winked on the rug before her. Hetty sat on the other side, sewing, and busy thinking how she should tell her mother that she expected a visitor. She would have iven the world to be able to say in an offvlianded manner that she ex- pected.Mr. Hnwley to drop in about eight. But she recollected with a twinge of'conscienCe how hard site had tried to get the Old lady to ac- company her husband to Aunt Ruth’s, in spite of her forewarnings of a spell oflneuralgtu ; how "she had also pleaded headache as an excuse for not going hersele And she knew her mother was quite sharp enough to draw her own inferences from these facts, and from her being dress- ed with unusual care to spend an evening at home. ‘I shall not dare to tell her now.

And just thpn came a double rap at the door; so loud, sudden and self-assured, that Hetty started up with a little shriek, and set her foot on puss’s tail, who, in turn, gave voice to her amazement and displea- sure. The combined noise aroused Mrs. Thomas, and starting into an erect position, she rubbed her eyes, settled her cap-border, and exclaimed: ‘ Bless my soul, Hetty, what was thatI Somebody at the door? Who can be coming here at thi; time Of the night.” ‘ It’s not late, mother, only a little past eight. I’ll go and see who it is,’ says Hetty, dcmurcly, taking the candle from the table. ‘ No.’ Here you wind up my ball and sweep the hearth, while I go to the door,’ says the old lady, whose feet were strugling in the pet- plexing meshes of the unraVelicd yarn. ‘ Drat that cat!’ And all this time Josiah was stand- ing with one foot out on the cold porch, with his hands in his over- coat pockets, wondering if Hetty had fallen asleep, and every now and thea giving the door a sharp rap by way of variety. In her hurry, Mrs. Thomas for- got to take the cand'e, and as she stepped out into the link: front entry, the sitting room door slammed after her. She had her hand on the hon- dle of the hull-door at the moment, and opening it, she suddenly found herself in the embrace of a stout pail‘ of arms; a whiskeer face in close proximity to her own; and be- fore she could think of the strange- ness of her situation, she had recei- ved a prolonged kissâ€"a hearty smack-full upon her matron lips. ‘Oh, murder! ’Taint Obediah, neither l’ She had by this time divested her- self of the impression that it was her usually sober spouse, who must have come home in an unusually ex- alted condition, thus to indulge in such unwonted expressions of affec- tton. ._ ‘Get out! get outl Isay.

Old Squire Thomas used to delight in rehearsing the story whenever all the parties interested happened to be present. He would shake his fat sides at Josiah’s dis- comfiture and his wife’s tart replies, and Hetty would join him, and both would laugh until the tears ran ovm their cheeks. ‘ Never mind, ’Siah,’ Mrs. Thomas would say. consolingly. ‘Let him laugh.’ He’d have been only too glad to have been in your place twenty years ago.

He is ‘great’ in ex- pressing the feelings of mothers who had seen their sons fall within their grasp. Andrew Ireland, a climber of remarkable activrty, who could go where cuts would shudder, had dropped olfa wall into M’Levy’s arms, laden with poultry which he had stolen on the other side. He was convicted and sentenced to im- prisonment, but escaped by climb- ing through a skylight. M’Levy could get no trace of him for months, but was satisfied that he was lurking In the Old Town. One day he encountered a funeral pro- cession. formed of ragged lrishmen. and told him that it was his work. Her. name was Ireland, and her speech Was Irish. She said that she was thered laughter, in spite of her Ire-'burying her son. Who had been pidation, now come to the rescue. killed by M’Levy’s persecution. ‘I never was so frightened in all He'offered consolation in the re- my life. The mean scamp! could it be? Hctty, have you any idea I’ But that dutiful daughter was, t0jcvil. all appearance, innocent as a sock- ing dove. Shc soothed the old lady by representing that it might have been one of the neighbors, who, having drunk too much, had mista- ken the house and housewife. She searched the entry for the missing Spectacles dropped in the scuffle; re- arranged the rumpled cap border; wound up the tangled yarn; stirred the fireâ€"all inn-"the most amicable Who' mark that there were no skylights to the graves, and Andrew would not climb out and do any more ‘Skylights! ay, but t'hcte is; and Andrew Ireland will climb out and get to heaven, while you, you varmint, will be breaking firewood in hell to roast their honors the judges who condemned my inno- cent darling.’ M’Levy dil not feel' altogether comfortable, for as he says, there is something in these wild lives,when wound up by death, that is really touching. However, he walked up to the Of’fice,andthere manner possible; and at length had got notice of the robbery of a sil- the satisfaction of seeing her mother versmith’s workshop. subsrde into her chair in her accus~I tomcd tranquility. Mrs. Thomas was fully awake now. She had a new Idea in her head, and instead of settling herself for another nap, she pursued the train of thought and her knitting with wonderful rapidity. At length stopping and looking keenly at Hetty:â€"-â€" ‘ ‘I suppose it’s a queer idea ofmine Hetty, but I’ve a notion that that man was Siah Hawlcy.’ My, but ifHetty’s face did not fire You might have lit a can- dle by it. These incipient symptoms did not escape the wary inquisitor.

Wonder who It was intended for; and wonder if you don’t know something about it, Hetty l’ _ ‘ Me, mother l' His investi- oation of the case led to no conclu- lsbion, except that the. robbery had probably been committed by two unknown chimneysweepers. Here- upon he became excessiwzly inter- ested in all persons of this class; and as features are difficult to dis- cern through a mask of soot,he was in the habit Of walking up to any sweep he met, and asking for a light to his pipe, so as to get a close in- lspection. A considerable time after the robbery, he happened to see two sweeps smoking loungingly, and contemplating, in the hand of one of them, some article which had a all- very look. The usual artifice gave M’Levy an Opportunity of scanning a face which seemed to shrink un- der his eye. The features were familiar; but still he was for a while at fault, and continued the conversation until he got the clue. ‘Andrew Ireland, When did you come out of the Canongate church-‘ yard 1’ All denial Was in vain.â€" The silver article which M’Levy had seen glancing in the sooty hand proved to be part of the stolen pro- perty. This remarkable exemplifi- cation of M’Levy’s kcenness of sight and his strength of memory brought the buried son of the widow Ireland to transportation. On another occasion, Jean was pursu- h b o nn n-. Whole NILâ€"154. ' Yes, you Hetty. You Was mighty L In eniugh and dark enough to inspire adventurers to flirt a little. with the coy damsel without danger of de- tection by curious friends. There are, as M’Levv says, numbersot these shy and’frolicksome fish who are fond of poking their nose into the meshes without any intention of entering the seine. The regular street-Walkers, such as Jean, are qutte up to these ‘ night-inoths,’hate them heartily, and sometimes make them pay gold coin for silver words. With one of these flutterers round the candle-light of impurity, our he- roine had forgathered; and as he squeezed one soft hand, the other visited his pocket. The youth cried out to a passing constable that he had been robbed of a £5 note. The constable immediately laid hold of Jean; and as there were no passer:- by to complicate the affair, the money would, of course, be got upon the instant. At least, so it might have been thought; but the youth and the constable searched Jean’s pockets,and turned the bull’s- eye on the pavement all around without result. She was then taken to the police-otfiec,and examined by a female searcher, but still no note was found. The Officer on duty was satisfied that there must have been some mistake. A day or two passed. No more was heard of the young man. The constable was again on his beat about the same hour. Up comes Jean,and says she has a secret to tell him. The dia- logue which follows is very well imagined by the author, who, of course, did not hear it, nor any trustworthy report of it. The sub- tancc ofit is, that Jean’s conscience is troubled,and she desires to return the note to the young man. She will not give it openly to the police- man, but if he will scaich the deep cuff of his coat, after she is gonc.hc may find it there. As she speaks. her nimble fingers are thrust into the cuff, and she runs off. The con- stable searches, and finds nothing. The fact was, that Jean had, during the conversat:on,abstracted from his cuffthe note which she had placed there at the instance of her seizure, and which he had unconsciously car- ried about with him for two days. ll’I’chy tells this story without warranting its truth; and he adds, that he should like to have been the policeman who wore the coat with the deep cuff. OATS GIVEN TO HORSES BEFORE on AFTER DRINKING It is well known, but not so geo nerally practised as it ought to be, that oats or other grain given to horses are more readily digested, and consequently more nutritious, when supplied in a bruised or re- duced state; and we have new improved a very convenient ma- chine for effecting this very desir- able purpose. The health and dur- ability of the Horse greatly depend . on the mode of feeding and treato ment during his hours of rest, as well as on the quality of his food, and the amount of labour which he is required to perform. The fol- lowing abridged observations of a practical Frean writer in the Journal cl’ ‘ .ngiculture Pratique, are deserving the attention of all who havc‘horses under their care : The same quantity of cats given to a horse produces different effects according to the time thev are ad- ministered. I have made the expe- riments on Invown horses, and how: always observed there is in the dung a quantity of cats not di- gested, when I purposer gave them' water immediately after a feed of cats. There is chIdcdly, then, a great advantage in giving horses water before grain is fed to them. There is another bid prac- tice, I observe, that of giving grain and hay on their return to the stable immediately after hard work.
