He leised my arm, tod with a ineeriog lip Looked o'er my happy D«at With sinkiDg heart I felt his bony grip Clatch tight and hold me fast. " Yon look," he said, " so happy and lo bright That I hare come to see Why other troubles miss yon in their flight, And what yon'll do with me." " And have yon come to itan with me t" I cried, Hoping respite to win. " Yes, I have (ome to stay. Yoar world is wide; I'm crowded where I've been." I woald not look him in the face, but tamed To take him home with me To all my other troubles, who bad spumed His hateful ccmpany. tio he was "crowded," snd with me would roam I laughed with sullen glee At arm's-length took him up the s^epa ot home Tnder my own roof tree. And there I clutched his scrawny neck ai d thin, Tu thiuat him in the rO' m Where, lot-ketl and b:irred, I kept njy trou- bles, in Stvlusioo's friendly gloom. • Grimly he looked at me with eysfcthat bum- " Y'ju know ooctiing of me Tht key on other trouMes may be turned, But Iâ€" »m Poverty."

He ia not a fit man for yoo to wed." She checks me. " I have given my word to my erandfather â€" I gave it to my graodmother. " But he is a gambler," I cry "not one who should be your husband. Judith, think while there is time â€" delay now." "I have thought," she mutters sorrow- fully. " It is useless to remonstrate with me. The Squire w..uld not die in peaoe if bis wish were thwarted." After musing, I say â€" " Who wiU marry you Not Will ♦" "Ob, no"â€" with a shud'lerâ€" "not Will, but .Mr. Carratbers I shall be married in my grandfather's room." It is terrible.

Do I dream or not? I fancy Judtb sobs and moans, fancy she murmurs my brother's name again and again as she t'jsses in agony.

Judith's voice is as clcir anil sweet as the most tuneful bell. I know that nothing but death cui sever the two now made one. It is all over. Mr. Carruthers murmurs congratulations, and subsides iiitt ijuietude. The sijuire's face is Hushed ten minutes since it was deathly white. .Tudith draws near, hut be puts her back.

'With pomp and state he was baried; bnt none moamed him as did Jv- dith. His will has caused surprise. The ba'k of bis property is left to Silaa Thorn- ton. Judith's name is not mentioned. We recollect Lady Kapine's will, and de- bate whether the similarity between hers and the Squire's is acc'dentaL Very extra- ordiniry faith must they both have had in Mr. Thornton if they arranged to leave all their paaaeasion4 to their granddaughter's hasbaod onder the impressioD that to do so wss wiser than to leave th m to .ludith her- self. I know they h..ve desired to do that which is best for their grandchild bat I fear they have made a fatal mistake in pls«- ing unlimited faith in Mr. Thornton.- It is not right to anticipate evil, bat my forebod- ings are very melancholy. When the master of Napine and Ellerslie shows the cloven hoof, what will be his wife's position Letty and the baby are at the Yicarage. I have confided some of my cares to her. She thinks I am over-anxious about Judith, and is inclintd to believe that time will shape thines smoothly. She does nut know about Will: does not reslise that, wherevei flowers are planted, there may always be a worm at their root. Mrs. Austay wants us to spend the even- ing with her indeed, we have promised to do so but when Will comes to bid us be ready, I entreat to be allowed to remain be- hind, and tell him that Letty snd he miut make my excuses. I will stay with baby. I have my way, after many useless expostula- tions then I help Letty to don her pretti- est garment, pin a dower in Will's button- hole, and watch th m down the path with satisfaction. It is a gusty tummer night the leaves are beginning to fall, and are swept hither and thither thoroughly. Autumn's sad mu- sic is in the breeze. I glanoe at the grey sky dolefully. I have a gloomy, miserable sen ation that ill is looming perchance, be- cause I have no genuine sorrows, I try to create some. I am not given to low spirits, but to-night I am dismal enough to please the most saturnine. Luckily, before 1 quite succeed in scaring myself, Ray knocks. " Nurse wishes to go into the village, Miss D.borah. I am willing to mind baby, if you will allow her. " Yes, she can go, but let me have baby." Kay is reluctant but I want my little niece. I am assuridly going to have a bad cold; I shiver repeatedly, and my throat is sore. I put on some coals, and draw close to the blaze. Baby falls asleep, I undress her carefully, place her in the cradle, and tuck her up snugly. Do I fall asleep myself It is ({Uite possible. I am conscious of a com- fortable warmth, of a delightful drowsy feel- ing, and naught else. When 1 open my eyes, a singular notion possesses me, an idea is on me of which I cannot get rid â€" I have been kissed I smile and look about me the duskiness prevailing is not to be lightened by the sparse flame in the grate. I peer into the corners. Biby cries, and 1 move hurriedly as I do so a slight black figure approaches from the far I end of the room. My frightened exclamation is quickly subdued.

She returns my caresses with loving ardour but, when the feverish red has faded from her cheeks, I am pained at her pallor, at her patient, suffering air. Some change haa passed over her since I last saw her what can it be Beneath her eyes are black lines, lines never wrought save by mental anguish and her lifts are dry and parched.

" Who is there?" I call, perturbed. " It is I," Judith answers. I unfasten the door, and she enters timid- ly. I am strack by the ghastly pallor of her face; her lips are white and bloodless, and her eyes are heavy, aa though she were Tinder the inflaence of a narcotic. Sle is the first to speak. " 1 did not thirk yoa woald be in bed," she says. " Sometimes you stay up late, writing. It is eleven o'clo-.k." " Mrs. Santon was tired, and I was no disinclined for a beauty sleep," I explain " but I am wide awake now. I am glad you have looked in on me. I will slip on my dressing-gown, and we will have a chat. I have scarcely seen yon all day." She does not respond. I toad) her acci- dentally, and am startled. She is stony cold this warm night. "Judith, what IS it?" She stsres at sae blankly horror chills me. It is possible, she is losing her tenaes? I twine my arms about her. " I am so weary," she sighs, her feataraa (jniveriog.

When I enter the drawing-room, Mr. Thorn- ton, Mis. .s nton, and the lawyer are with Will and Judith. The Squire is dozing. Will promises to call early in the morning. Judith's hand is in his.

Biffter tdn- oation must not be ao exoeption to thia rale. In the geceral mobilintion of everything else this most not, of all things, raawiaiat- mofaile. Tiise waa when the diatinotion between • liberal and a professioBal education wss pretty clear. That si rt of iotellectual train- ing which aimed simply at the full and har- mooioos development of the laoaltiea of the student was never confoonded with that which is specially deaigntd to fit a man for earning his bread. Icdeed, it was thought that the farther the " pot-boQing," or as the Germanscall it, the "bread-and-butter" idea waa kept from the mind of the student engaged in the pursuit of a liberal education, and the more tboronghly he was trained to love study for its own rake, and for the sake of the consciousness of freedom and strength which it imp:rted, the better. Then it waa no objection to Latin or Greek that, in all probability, the person learning them wonld make very little direct use of them after he left College; or ta\^logio, metaphysics, and the higher matheWtics, that he was not likely to adopt a profession which Woi Id call these branches of knowledge di- rectly intorequisition. Tben.if the precocious and impatient youngster objected to the les- sons which he was required to learn, tbathedid notseethe use of thnm, it was deemedasuflS- cient answer that what he knew not then he would know in after years. And it must be admitted that, in this way, some excellent scholars were made, and â€" which is still more importsnt â€" some excellent characters were formed. But, it appears, a more excellent theory haa been discjvered, and all this is to be changed, or to give place to something better, Latin and Greek if they are not to be altogether discarded are at least to be relegated to the region of the options. Metaphysics is to give place to the physical sciences. In a word, what have heretofore been gronfed under the general head of liberal studies, if they are to be retained at all, are to have a subordinate position as- signed to them, and education is to be made, in the more materialistic and matter-of-fact sense of the terms, "practical and useful." In the process of effecting this change, an entirely new method of instruction is to be ca'led into requisition. The " object- lesson " is to perform a conspicuous part. Not only are the academy and the Porch to be used as heretofore, but the "grove" and even places less congenial to the feelings of the student are to be brought into promin- ence as places of instruction. The raitor of the Popular Seiena Monthly who is a leader in this reform, or rather, perhaps, this agi- tation for reform, suggests s me measures which probably will appear to many to seem rather radical and even startling innovations We may mention a few of these. As a first instalment of what he would like to see introduced into our in-titutions of learning, he thinks great good both im- med'ate and prospective would result if, for example, the college buildings of the Michi- g.-'n Lniversity, at Ann Arbor, werctreatedas anobject-lcssoB and if sfterthis was master- ed, the water-supply and se wage system of the town were treated in the same way. After perfecting th mselves in these preliminary lessons, he would have the students to sys- trmatically extend their studies to the scboolbouses, the poorhoase, and the gaol, with a view to understandinar the scientific principles involved .u their hygienic, snd sanitary conditions and arrangements. Of course he wou'd not have the ra to end there, but, as we may take for granted, extend theic investiiiations to everything else, ei- ther immediately or remot«ly connecteti •• If a a food loka on ma, hat I data aay t ismiliaaoakaf thiaawhoaia aaioyiag th TaeatioB are ia the aaata flz.

Mr. Dalmolin's San Co'ombano was only brought out on rare occasions. The visitors had ex- cellent taste. A dozen would come at a time, and the girls brought out wine, cakes, canned fruits and meats, and cigars. All would sleep in the house. On July 10th there were fourteen. They sang, drank wine, played on the piano, and broke down the hammocks. Every Saturday and Sun- day the orgies were repeated. One of the guests was a nurse discharged for theft four months ago. Her delight was to sport Mr. Dalmolin's daughter's handsome dresses. Some did not relish the fine wines, and brought beer, whiskey, gin, Ac., miking fearful havoc in the dining-room.

To ihvestigste, with sufficient thoroughness to be of any value to the student in after life, all the sources from which the commisaiiat of a single city is supplied, opens a pr'-tty wide field, furnishing material for several ob- ject-lessons. Then, while man continues to be a clothes-wearing animal, and especially while he continues to be so largely depend ent up n clothes, both for his respectability and comfort, there does not seem to be any good reason why the " science of clothes " should not receive its full share of atten- tion. It may be an evidence of weakness on our part, but we confess, the vastness of the curriculum ruggested by Prof. Youmans, iu the article referred to, rather appalls us.

In fact, if the work is to be done tbornughly, it ap- pears to stretch out, popularly speaking, al- most to infinity. Besides, when one thinks of it, to say nothing of the grotesque situa- tions which it suggests, the carrying out of this coniprehcnsiive course of instmct'on would, as it appears to us, be attended with considerable inconvenience. Think of Dr. McCaul, with his noble staff of co-labourera, for example, leading a few- hundred students in a subterranean explora- tion of the city of Toronto, in order to in- duct them into the scientific mysteries in- volved in the sewage system of our good city, â€" or taking them down for a month to Oovemor, Ureen'a Casth to form a scientific and practical acquaintance with its dietetic hygienic, sanitary, and disciplinary arrange- ments, and then to have every other institu- tion existing among us subjected to the same process. We hope our educational authori- ties will mske haste sltwly in adopting so radical a programme. When Paris starts a fashion, the milliners of all civilized countries are n»dy to import it all over Europe and .America. But on as English we do not think French inventions sit with much grace. We are t6o different from the French to adopt with any success the style which best suits them. The Eng- lish character and mind, being, as compared with the French, simple, vague, and slow imaginative, rather than fanciful constant and stable in feeling, rather than quickly sympathetic proud, rather than vain and, though proud, decidedly more modest and leFS self-confident than the French, we invent when we do exert ourselves, and push out our creative faculties on entirely, different lines, so to speak, .from those on which the French iuvent but too often our modesty, vagnencss, simplicity, and slow- ness acting together, ensnare us into an un- due admiration of a French quality or achievement, for the very reason tnat we do not pocsees the one and cannot readily ac- complish the other. French vanity, on the contrary, as a rule admires Fiench qualities and French achievements because they are French. We are apt to surrender our national taste, r.ot because tho taste we adopt is superior, but because the weak side ot our simplicity is deluded into believ- ing theoretically in the taste which thinks so much of itself. That we are not dis- criminating in the manner in which we fol- low French fashions is shown by the fact that we do not copy what is really admir- able in their work, and that we exaggerate almost to distortion the most fsntastic in- ventions in French dress. Many a Paris milliner will keep an outre form of the fashions for her English and American cus- tomers, and we in England often imitate the frills and furbelows of French trimmings, but we do not make a point of imitatibg the neatness snd perfection of the work, nor are we clever in fitting the wearing of the gai ment appropriately to the occasion, so that often we see an idea which starts from the Paris milliner in the form of an elaborate and artful piece of needle- work swept shout dirty London streets in a slovenly, untidy form. Probably rnr power of perfecting the details ot dress wiU always fail as long as we imitate another nation's inventions, for the same reason that in higher kinds of art it is so rare to find a copyist of any work of art capable of rendering even the most technical qualities of finish with real skill of elaboration, the interest felt by the inventor nimself being the only power suffi- ciently strong to inspire the patience and ability necessary for perfect completeness in the details. But we believe that, were we to sharpen our inventive qualities and over- come the vagueness which results in an in- discriminate following of fashions which ia no way fit into our national characteristics, weaving into such inventions a bet er side of our modesty and simplicity than we have shown in doing more than justice to an- other's nation's taste, we might achieve the inventions of costumes at once beautiful and Euglish in character. â€" "*« Spectator.

I had been out fiahing, and â- â-  the aun hecaiB too hot, I rowed my boat to ahore under the shade of the trees, and sat thinking. I looked down into tha water, and aaw a little crab holding a dam shell under his mouth with^iia daw, and eating as fast as he coold, at the same time turning his queer, bulg- ing ejee in all directions to see that he would not be disturbed. But soon ano- ther crab came up, and tried to snatch awaj the clam shell. Then ensued the oonversatiou which I have already quoted. I dropped a piece of clam in- to the water, and the new-comer seized it. He scuttled away under a piece of sea-weed, and cried out in triumph â€" " Aha I greedy, you didn't get it, and it is much better than your old shell. Don't you wish you had it V " III change with you," said the other. " Just see this blue on the edge of my shell. Ain't it lovely V " Change I guess not Who cares for the blue? You can't eat the blue." " Of course you can't eat it, but it is pretty. However, there is no tise of talking to you about it you have no love for the beautiful," said the other, tauntingly. " You needn't put on so many airs. I'm bigger than you anyway," snarled the first " You won't be long, for I'm growing every day. " ".Children I children what is the matter)" asked the old mamma crab, who just appeared on the scene. " Mamma, he tried to get my din â€" ' " I didn't I only wantedâ€"" " He's a mean, honid old thing and I don'tâ€"" " Why, children," interrupted the old crab, " I am ashamed of you. What is the matter 1" " He tried to take away my dinner," said one. ' He said I wasn't growing big," said the other. " That did not stop your growth, did it 1" said mamma. " Nâ€" o," drawled the little one. " And now," she continued, " I want you to behave yourselves. Stop such silly quarrelling. You act so much like bciys and girls that I am ashamed of you." " Say, mamma, my clothes are get- ting too tight for me, and I've busted a seam in the back of my coat," said one of the youngsters, after a short pause. ' That is all right," answered mam- ma, assuringly " you are only g;oing to ' shed.' " " Am I going to be all soft and help- less, like papa was, and then be taken awax and not come back any more " " Oh, no, I hope not. You must find a quiet place, and bide until you can take care of yotu-self," bnswered mamma. \^ Accordingly the young crab wan- dered around, and found a nice quiet place under the shadow of a large log here he half buried himself in the mud, and commenced the operation of chang- ing his clothes. He swelled himself out until the upper shell separated from ti.e lower, then worked his claws slow- ly backward and forward, and expand- ed and contracted the muscles of his body little by little, he emerged from his shell, and finally, with one effort, he freed himsell entirely from his old clothes. He lay back, exhausted by his exertions. While the crab is soft it is perfectly helpless, and it can be handled without fear of bites. When it firet emerges from its shell it is cov- ered with a skin as soft and delicate as yours, but if left undisturbed it will soon harden. It taken out of the water and kept in damp sea- weed, the process of hardening can be delayed for three or four days, when it dies of starvation, as it can eat nothing while soft, and that is the way in which it is brought to the market But the little crab I saw was fortuuate enough not to be dis- turbed. He lay perfectly still, and in, about an hour, if you couli have put your finger on^^is back, you would have felt that ic had grown stiff and rough in between three or four hours the shell reaches the stage known as " paper shell." It is hard and coarse, like brown paper, and the crab begins to show signs of liveliness, and in about seven hours there is no perceptible difference between our recently recloth- ed crab and his hard brothers and sisters. ttiamhotD pi0oebozM,«UBaotieover- «^|Mtad, eommqamUT S**^ «•» â- htatld be ttkm to pecterre thsm.

This story of arranging bees in a room in a garret where they will not swarm, and where -the owner can go and cut out cards of honey for family use, at any time, is a very old one, and the immense swarm of. bees somewhere in the rocks, where bees pour forth in masses, and honey may be found by the ton. As regards keep- ing bees in an attic or upper room, or even upon a roof they may be so kept, if some practical hive is properly ai-- ranged in such a location. There are even some, advantages derived, where but few hives are kept. But all things taken into consideration, it is preferable to have the bees placed somewhere near the ground. »mm m LiberaliS'D in Seligion. the rales.

The Honey Crop.â€" The yield of honey from Basswood and other sources, in this section, has not equalled our ex- pectations. During the last days of Jime the supply of honey, from bass- wood, promisoi to be abundant, but it was very suddenly and unexpectedly cut short. Reports from all parts of the United States indicate a small crop. We judge it to be less than one-half of the tisual average many report an entire failure. In our own apiaries we secure over 15,000 pounds from 176 colonies. Thus far we have taken from three selected swarms as follows July 10th, No. 1, n\ lbs.. No. 2, 66J lbs.. No. 3, 83J lbs.; July 13th, No. 1, 41 lbs.. No. 2, 41 lbs.. No. 3, 55 lbs.; July 19th, No. 1, 12 Ibe., No. 2, 18 lbs., No. 3, 18 lbs. After the last date given we removed -the swarms, with others, to where Buckwheat, Crolden Rod. and Eupatorium are found in greater abund- ance than around the summer stands nearer home. Fall Pasturaor. â€" The subject of fall pasturage is ot considerable impor- tance, as, with a fair yield of honey at this season, breeding will be continued, and thtis one of the essentials for suc- cessful wintering is secured. It will therefore be found profitable to study the sources from which a yield may be expected. In many sections buckwheat is the chief dependence for late honey. In other looalitiee, like our own in the Mohawk Valley, Melilot or Sweet Clo- ver, is of great importanee. But mora generally, we think that the supply will be gntfaered ehiefly^ from OoldeB Rod and Bupatorium. Theae wild plants can be found upon rough, waste land, in nearly all parts of the country. Fall MAMAonacMT. ^â€" If soijJns boxes have not been moVed as direoted laat month, it should be attended to at once. If swarms have been mi|^ilied with extra combs for extraotiag, they â- iMNild be removed and packed safely away for uae another aeaaon. The â-¼ate* of tiMM ooafat, m w«U m thoM There is such a thing as liberalism in. re- ligion, it appears, as wtll as iu politico. Be- tween these two, howt ver, there is no neces- sary connection. A man may be liberal in politics, we know, and yit be itrictly con- servative in nsptct to b'lh the belief snd practice of religion. But whether liberalism lu religion, and conservatism in ahytbiog that belongs to modem society, can co-exist in the same mind, may well be doubted. There are various degiees in this, as well as in everything else, â€" but in its extremest form, it seems to aim at nothing eUe than a complete revolution of the institutions of so- ciety, and the principles on which they are founded. Even Mr. ingersoll, atiitist though he be, and though for a time be was recognized as the apoitle and high-priest of the new religion, has not been able to. go so far as the bulk of hii followers. He, appar- ently, has no quarrel with the State, and' though he would destroy the Cnurch if ho could, he would let civil government live. He is too much of a family man, too, to have the bond which binds it together relaxed. Thanks to the education which he receiveJ in his early puritan home, under tbe super- vision of his Christian parents, â€" whose memory, alas, he has often blasphemed â€" obscvuty, moi I putridity, and rottennees, are loathsome to him- ne therefore With- drew from the National Liberal Association, when it lifted up its voice in favour of the transmission of this sort of filthy garbage through the United States mails. A radi- calism, so profound and universal that even so extreme an iconaclast as Col. Bobert lu- gersoU could not away with, must be too thorough to leave room for conservatism ' of any sort. This wonderful Association, or Leaguej, as it u called, has been in congress or convent tion â€" we believe the former ia the phrase which it applies to its gathering â€" in the city of Chica"o recently, and its proceedines have furnished a singular commentary on its name and pretensions. To such extremes was its iconoclastic and revolutionary ten- dencies disclosed, that one of its moat pro- minent members, a man who had occiipied a prominent position in the League, and bad been a leading spirit in its movements, was led to express his extreme disgust by mov- ing a couple of resolutions which procured bis prompt and speedy expulsion. 'The reso- lution)^ are as follows Reiolvtd, Tbst the National Liberal League, Auxiliary Leagues, and kindred or- ganizations are reeommended to consider the propriety and wisdom of allowing the National Congress of Liberal Leagues, to demand, of all the people and powers- tbat be, that said Congress shall be empowered to go at once at woik to remedy all the eWls and cure ail tbe ills of tbe world sc- c irdiug to their own very liberal and peculiar ideas respecting the same. Setolved, That the Fourth Congress of the the National Libeial League recommends to the consideration of the Auxiliary Leagues and kindred organizations,the prupnety and wisdom of turning over the management and control of this organization to a reli- gions sect of Spiritualists, and to a squa'd of avowed and practical Fr»"e- Lovers. After Mr. Spencer, the author of these resolutions had been got rid of, the Congress proceeded to pass resolutions of its own, which showed that the spirit which his mo- tions were intended to rebuke, really existed among its members, and tbat the snub was really deserved. It declared itself in favour of the more ample extensiou of the doc- trinee of free-love, and in condemnation of any interference of tbe Post office au- thorities or the Court with tbe free circida- tion of tbe vilest literature. The proceed- ings were farther enlivened by the exhibi- tion of a rca live martyr, in the person of a female who had been arrested for selling an indecent book. She wss hroosht on the platform and exhibited to the audience by a certain doctor, who called the admiring at- tention of the members of the Congress to her beautiful face, and appealed to them to say whether in the exquisite liniaments of that face, they couM discover any traee of obscenity. Of course tbe argument was ir- resistible. Who could help acquitting a woman with a bes-ntiful fsce, of tbe charge of imparity No wonder that on argument so conclusive was received with sounds of applanse. But the oddest part of its pro- ceedings, considering, that fundimentsi firinciple of this species of liberalism is ibcrty, in tbe raott absolute and unrestrict- ed sense, was the censure which was passed upon Mr. Ingersoll for not having declared himself in favour of the transmission of ' ob- scene matter through the mails. This ^b- eral League has proved that whether it equals tbe churches in sny other respect or not, it it quite ss intolerant ss any of them and that it is quite as ready to censure or expel a refractory member who dares to think for himself and to manfully express his convictions. x 1 â-  â-  â-  I w â-  Telegraph Blunders. A gentleman who had gone to the country to find a summer locition for his family telegraphed to his wife, ' ' Home to-nighi" The wires rendered this into "Come to- night," and so the wife posted into the coun- try at once, while her. husband was makir his way in a contrary direction. Not long since a message came to the principal of a businesa boose in the city from his travelling agent, who had reached Phila delpbiaâ€" " Am at Continental House. Seod •OOM hash by mail." The agent did not in- tend to reflect on the food at tbe betel, bnt wanted " cash" sent by mail. An affectionate ancle was informed by teteeraph "Mary is to be buried on Wed- nesday. Comesnre." Mary, who lived in Chicago, was his favonrits niece, and, as be had not heard of her illness, the sad intelligence gave him a severe stock. He dreseed himself in deep mourning, and made a hurried journey to tbe West to find a jovial party at Mary's we :din(;. The wires lisd arranged for Ler to be " Lnried " ins'ead of "married " Probably the worst blim'er ever made was one that occurred ia tbe case of a St Louis merchant, who, wbde in New York, received a telegram informing him tbat his wife waa ill. He sent a missenii to his faaiily dootor, asking the natars m the sick- ness and if there was any daaasr, and re- ceived promptly the answer ^o danger. Tear wife naa had a ehild.
