Miaa ^Vulter left the aohool- room, with her aisictint, a aieklylooking Hirl of 15 or 16, named Miry Brown. Ea- gioa lodged at a farm-hous near, occupying a parlor and bedroom, and waa partially waitad on by the people of the houiaa. Aa s3on as they got in, Mary Brown, â- rfhoae weik health caused her to feel a coasUnt thirst, began t) set out the teacapa and make the tea. " Mary," obterred W â- Â»Â» Winter, when the meal waa over, " you lad better go up to your brother'e for the c Jioo, and to-morrow set about making his shirt* you know he was sc' 1 iiog you yesterday at their not be- ing begun. Start at once or you will have It dusk. I will wash np the tea things. " Mary Brown put on her thini^ and ds- piittd. But not l)ng had she been gone when the parlor door opened and a tall, floe young mm, about six-and-twenty, walked in. Ha waa dressed in a ureen velveteen abootin;;-jacket, leather breeches, and gait ers, and a green kerchief was t»iated looae- ly roand bn neck. Altogether, there was a careless, untidy look about him, and it oAiW have pu2zied a »{rangar to tell whether he waa a gentleman or a m»n of a lower order. The face wonli have been haodsome (»nd, I'ndead, waa) but for the willful, devil-may-care exprtsalun that pre- vadei it. His oimplexicn was fair, his eyes were blue, and his livht hair cnrl:)d in Lis neck. This gentleman was Mr. George Brown, universally kjjown ia the village by the coicnomen of " Brassy," He had ac- qaireflthe appellation when a boy j partly because be was gilted with a double share of thit endowment familial ly called " braas," and partly because in his boyhood be dis- played a curious propensity of ctllecting %y gether odds b ti oi brazen metal. Onoe, when a young child, be had stblen a small brass kttt;e, exposed outside a shop for aale, luffged it home, and put it in his bed. Hia mother on going to her own room at night, looked St Oeorgie, and there he waa slaep- ing, with the brass kettle hugged to hiro. Uehad been "Brassy Browo" since, and would Le 1 1 the end f his liCa. Mr. Brassy Brown did not enjoy a irst- rate reputation. He bad iober-tad a little land from his father, on which wss a small house, where he lived, caU-d "The Rill," anl, though Le certiinly could not subiiat up-n iti preceeds a'one â€" he had no ether viiibli) meaca of support â€" be lived we:i,sud never seemed to lack money.

It may be i|Uestione(l, however, if Uifs Winter would have made the proposal to the girl had she foreseen that they bhonld bi iaundated with visi's from her brother. When he carae in Miss Wmt.T pot down the book she was reading, poured out some hot wat.T into a basin, uni began Ui wash up the tea thinga, " Where's I'oU " becan Mr. Brassy. â- She's puue to the Hill for the calico. The dsy was drawine toward its close, and the youn^ charity childrca, assembled in the newly pi^parid nchool-room of the small villa,e oi Littl' f.rd, glancing impati- ently through the wiuduws at the ahadoMS cast by the declining sun; for none knew better by those shadows than they that five o'clock was near. " First clasi, come up anJ spell," cUled out the governess from behind her table by the window. "There ain't no lime, Mis%" replied one of the girls, with the ea«y familiarity apt to subsiSt between scholar and teacheCk.in ruatic tchools. " It's a'raost sleek on the atroke o' hve." The governess, a fair, pleasant-looking young woman, dressed in mouruiog, and far too Utly-likt in appearance for the paid mistrei-s of a tharity-school, glanced around the hour-glass, and saw that it wanted fall tea minutes to the hour. " There is time for a short lesson, chil- dren," sh" said. " i'ut aside your work and oome up." The tirst class laid thc-.r S3wing on the bench, and were ran{iag themselves roond the governess's table, when a youog lady, in a hat aud riiling-habit, followed by agioom, galloped past tie wiodows, and remed in.

Tho mistress of it, iJame Fox, was old so Ljrd Little- told anil the clergyman supcranuated her, and looked out for another and while they were looking. Mis-. Winter, the daughter of Farmer Winter who was jnst dead, went up tj Littlcfonl Hall and asked for the situa- tion. The whole village liked Kegina Winter; although she bad received an eiiucation, and. tor live ye-irs of her life, enjoyed a ' home (with her dead mother's London re!a- tivex) far above what Littlcfurd thought suitable for a working fanner's daughter.

Her spirits rose at seeing that smile, and she arrived at the conviction that he wai forgetting his preference for her. It pleased her much. Seltiog these persecutions aside, and a few slips of langu- age he was wont to indulga in, she did not dislike Brassy, and had never thought to ill of him as some in the pariah were dispoaed to do.

They lived in a cottage about half a mile beyond tbe Rdl, following the high road. That same afterncoi. on coming iu from school, Regina told Mary she though, as it waa to fine, she should go and see Nomy. "Do yon feel well ctough to accompany me 7°' she asked.

The aystem is thoroughly well organi»ed and very efficiently worked. The eye of the police is everywhere, It examines cloeely all the carcaaees slaugbterpl at the abattoirs, and, through iU inspectors, who must affix the officisl stamp before it is so!d, guarantees the ciroaUti^m of sound, pure meat. A body of s«om tasters, ajaio, are visiting perpetually all establishmeuts for the sale of liquors and they have full powers to seizj and condemn all wine, brandy, or beer which they find to be adnl- teratpd. Other cffi.-ials known as "inspec- tcurs amhuhuU,"'are constantly employed in watching the retailers of all kinds of food. It is diffijult to deceive their keen and prac- ticed aenaes, and woo to the traders who are foucd tr.pping. These inspectors have other and more ioquiaitorial functions it ia also part of their duty to descend into the kitohco* of all ^tauranU and eating: houses, whera they strictly 6crutini»s tbe pots and pans, not only insibtiug upon cleanliness, but forbi Iding the use ot uten sils which might prove iijaricus to heilth. Mot impcrtint of all, the prefecture of p lice shares with the prefecture of the Se ne the charge and control of the great Holies Con- trales. Upon tho police falls the. govern- ment and ditc'pline of the perfOHnel and tbe general administration of the markets. The /acltvr*, or broker salesman, to whom all goods are consigned by the producers for aale, are nominated by tbe prefect, to whom they give security and are otherwise amen- dable, although their integrity is so prover- bial that cases of miscouduot arc unknown.

A tew days since 1 had a talk with thit friend about milk and butter, during which she showe4 m; l)er accoQOt vith this pow, the only oue she has. A family of twelve (in- cluding servants) with occasional visitors, have to be supplied with milk but she has generally managed to save oue milking each day for bnttsr. She began keeping an account on tbe 23th of February, wLeu tho churning yielded five pouuds. Oa the 25th of August (tbe clay before I saw the account book) the cham- ing gave four pounds and a half. The whole amount ot batter mada daring the interval of six month* was one hunclrea and niuety-one pjunds. This, it seems to me, is a great show from a small cow when you take ioto ennaideration the prolonged drought, and that a large family was sup- plied with mJk at tha same time. If Ul tbe milk had beeu sayed for butter the re- sult would bave exceeded four hundred pounds for tbe six mouths and the lady thiaks she does better than this when there is plenty of good grass, ghe is very canfal to Icnow that the qjw is well cared for and gently treated. I find from the date* that there were two chumings a we^k, those in the first week in March yielding eleven pounds, aod the next week, Line aad ono half pounds. In the first week of June the yield was ten and a half pounds, aod in the two following weeks it amounted to nine and ten pounds respec- t;vely. The last twochurniogs (Au„'ast 25) or one week, gave eight aod a half pouuds. The reader cin gtt tne weekly average from the fiiforea before given, but he mutt keep in mind that only one milking a day waa saTtd for butter, and that hay had t be used for feed duiiag a part of the drought. I have more than ooce eaten tbe butter, aod can ask for nothing more delieioaa. I in- quired, " Do you ever use artificial colour- ing for your butter?" The reply waa de- cidedly eimtst and charactenst c. "No? I don't want any frauds about my butter." This oase is given to show what can be dote with a good cow good f.oi, kind treat- ment, and a goodly ahare of the "know how ;•' aad ttua " know bow" might be learned by many who hare all tbe leqnire- ments for keeping a nioa little Aldeniey.

When we are anno} ed or diaappointed or injured by aome attempt ostensibly to benefit us that has really hurt os, it is simply exasperating to learn that it waa oonscieotiously made in our behalf, but that circumstances were avene. If the attempt bad ^e^ at our wiah. or with oqr a*tent r tuaowledge, we should be obliged to pardon ite consequences. But made iodepeudent of ar, aod in dvfiuanoe of our anteoedeuts, opinions, and principles, it is not strange that we chafe and soold and long for some friendly foe to conspire againat onr comfort and onr peace jnat to see if hia machinationa wi.l not trouble ua lea* than the efforts of onr inimical friend*. The world and tlie cauto of humanity and pro,;re'«* have probably ittffered as muoh â€" perhapi mure^trom people with good in- tentions as from people with ill intentions.

Quite recently a party of minen, nombering eight or ten, inelad- ing Mr. Coyne, determined to diaoorer, if poaaibie the extent and reaoaroes of the oare, aod prorided thamaelree with ropea, candlea, and other neoeautiea. Tltey exptorad aeventeen room* in all, the cortidon and appraaohee to which extend for neariy » mile from the en- trance. They azperieoced great diffi- culty, aa their progreas waa frequently interrupted by abrupt breaks in the plane of the cave, at which breaks they rapidly used up their available supply of ropea. The cave has two entrances, which lead into an oval cavity, thence a corridor leads into a large room, and thenoe into a still laiger. In from the larger are to smaller cavities, and these comprises the extent of former explora- tions. In them have been found at various times in the past relics of In- dian occupation, including arrows and skeletons. In one place several Indian skeletons were found in a depression in the floor of the cave, evidently fash- ioned by human linds. The Utter room is described as being of maivell- ous beauty. It is iiT^ular in idiape, and Is full of all the various forms which the action of lime has the power to create. In one of these rooms is a group of almost perfect statuary. It consists of a large block of limestone in the shap of a man, woman, and child, tho man being in the centre, and also having the closest resemblanoe to humanity. The Lead is especially like that of a man, having the features al- most distinct, and surmounted by a hat. A short distance away from tbe group in the flinkering candle light, the illu- sion is said to be absolutely perfetit At this point tbe cave discloses the strange feature of being two storied, to to rea«h the lower rooms of which it is neoeasary to descend 'by means of ropes. Here the extent of the old explorations cease, and the adventurers had to be careful lest some new and strange fe»r ture of the cave caused them trouble. In one of a group of three lower rooms was found a huge stalagmite, whioh iKa instinctively called Pompey's Pil- lar. It is three feet in diameter at tbe base, and lesseoa gracefully in size to tbe i-oof of the cave, 30 feet high. This is probably 600 feet below the sur- face. From the rooms last mentioned a corridor leads to very beautiful rooms, which were given the names of differ- ent members of the exploring party. The one named for Mr. Coyne is tho largest in the cave. From what was named " Hale's Room " the party fol- lowed a steeply inclined tunnel, sev- enty-five or eighty feet long, which terminated in a large abyss sixty or seventy feet in diameter. After low- ering one of the party down the per- pendicualr aides from the mouth of the tunnel as far as tbe remaining ro^ie would permit (about seventy feet), and failing to find bottom, the explorers named it the " Bottomless Pit," »nd returned.

Adam is always represented on the ancient monuments as wearing a flowing beard, and the Jews have so fully sccepted the tradition that the more orthodox of the race cherish the appendage with pious jealousy. The Israelitish envoys " tarried at Jericho until their beanJb were grown " aad during the accute stage of Russian tyr- anny to Poland, no moro severe punish- ment could be decreed a Hebrew than shaving â€" and washing â€" him. A Chin- ese without his pigtail or an Indian brave divested of his lank locks could not be more an object of commisoration than a beardless Polish peddler. In all the days of their bondage and slav- ery in £gypt the children of Abraham clung to their beard. For a stranger to touch it wss an insult, for children and kinsmen to kiss it, the sign of su- preme affection. The fugitive who re- verently raised his hand to it might hope for succor, and to swear by the beaixi was to take an oath which not even the roost infamous of them would break. The Moslem, until he got cor- rupted by the fashions of the Giaours, had an equal reverence for the appen- of his chin and when Selim I. shaved, the Mollahs were too shocked to ap- preciate tbe wit of the Sultan's reason for the heinous transgresuon. He de- clared that he cut off his beard in order that his vizier should have nothing to lead him by," a reason not unlike that whioh induced Alexander the Great to ordain the shaving of his Macedon- ians, namely, to prevent their enemieb laying hold of them in close combat The beard has often been the cause of religious schisms. The Greek and Roman Cl.urch fought over it, and the Belgian reformers were so hot on the question that they would fain have ejected all save the shaven from their •^n^s- Pet*"" tbe Qreat, ^ith that tet- ter indifference to authority which dis. tioguishod the shipwright C»r, laid a tax on the beards of Popes and people alike, though the idea waa not possibly original with the Emperor, siuoe more than a century earlier Queen ElLtabeth, unable to carry out her father's edicts against them, ordained that every beard above a fortnight's growth should pay a yearly tax of three shillings and four- pence, ^here hare eyeft b^en b^ttle^ over beards, far history reeordf hov Tartars, Peniaui »Qd Cbinete bave shed blood over some disputed ques- tions anent shaving and olippiog.
