And all I could say to make her happy about her two little ones, I said ; and as I sat trying to watch her with my poor, old dim eyes, that had grown hot and dry from much crying, she passed away from me; and I, who had hoped to have had her hand to make my pil low smooth in the time when I was on my last sick bed, was left behind with her two poor bairns. Hard ! ah, it was hard—hard when my Sam died—my husband, you know, lie was a stevedore, and got crushed between a ship and the dock wharf— killed, sir, fighting in the battle oflifo for our daily bread ; and lie left me with little Mary, nine years old then ; but we fought our way ou with our needles; for my eves were good then, though beginning to grow weak with shedding widow’s tears. And we liv ed, sir, lived on, which "i-'Le-o hard times for the. poor is something. It was hard to see through, that there was sunshine and brightness out of doors, and to know that it was to' be enjoyed, but not by us, who had our work—always hard work—to get just common things and daily bread, and pay the bit of rent. But the years flew on ; and even while it seemed only yesterday that poor Sam was taken to the hospital, and me sent for to close his eye3, Mary would come back from the workshop with a tall, stout young fellow to sec h.ei;£u the door. Wflat could I say, when she was a woman grown, and looked so happy and proud of him ; not shamed, you know, but seeming to glory in hint; id for it. and I couldn’t complain, and tell her she was forgetting her poor old moth er when it was only her natural love for a good, straight-forward, honest young fellow. Didn’t it bring back my own old times, wheulife was young for me, and everything looked fresh, and green, and shining, wbcu Sam came courting to see me, and my heart used to beat when I heard the sound of his footsteps ? “ No; I could say nothing, only have many a good cry when Mary was as leep, and I lying awake to think of how sad a life had been mine. “ But I would not make this a trouble, I said, and I made him wel come, and in all good time, when they’d saved a little money, they were to be mairicd. r I me, a poor widow, to scrape ou as I Could with the little ones. “ I hadn’t been very well, and I was dull and heavy, thinking a deal about what had happened thirteen or fourteen yearn before, and seeming to see again the cold looking, white hos pital wards where I was fetched to; and do ail I would I could not help going through all my troubles over and over again, till I got so low and cried so, that I quite upset Mary, and she bad hard work to keep from crying, too. “ At last, seeing how miserable I made her, I cheered up, and sh6 got theYtcaYsody for H«wy when he came home, and set in his chair, and got the baby off to sleep, so that if ho was tired the little thing should not worry him, and things wereall looking bright, and pleasant, and homelike, for the poor fellow who didn’t come.” “ Half an hour past his time—an hour—two hours—and then Mary be gan to show how uneasy she was; but at last we heard steps, and she ran to the door,, opened it and then darted back to me in the little kitchen, her eyes staring, her face white and all drawn, and as she cried out once, ‘ O, mother !’ jn so pitiful a way, she dropp ed on the floor. | “ But-it war only a passing fit i f giddiness from the shock, for she was up again directly, and helping me to drage away the table; then they brought home poor Harry on a shut ter—four of his mates, and we fetched a mattress, and laid him on it down stairs. Poor fellow, he looked like death itsolf, with his pale facegeneilla so ruddy aud bright, and his eyes sunk en, and the hair upon his poor clammy forehead all wet. “It was that old story—crushed whilo shunting—another poor fellow stricken down . while fighting for his bread. > 9 J' He would not let them take him to the hospital, he told us, quite calm ly, for fear poor Mary should not gt- tliere in time to see him ; and when we tried to cheer him up, saying, * Not bad as that,’ and talking, as yiiu know* how people will talk to sick folk, lie only smiled faintly, and asked Mary Why, that would be sixpence a week and another good customer safe. Twen ty or thirty such customers would be' a little fortune to us. I say us, because of poor Many’s little ones."

And then be fore the agony came on, he asked Mary to lift his head upon her shoul der, and begged her to forgive him for not doing more to provide for her and her little ones, when, poor lad, he had never spent a shilling from his home; and went on talking in that quiet, sad way, till I could not bear it, for it was plain he knew what was coming. “ Notone thought did he have for himself, only, after a bit, he asked Mary quietly to join his hands togeth er, for he could not move them, aud to kneel down by his side; and he did it all in a quiet, strange, broken-hearted way that 'was pitiful to see. e§r “• Aud then came the most terrible agony, snch as is dreadful to look upon ; but though he was racked, ho never uttered a word of complaint, but bore it all till about day-break, when he seemed easy, and Mary leaned over him to wipe the great drops of sweat from his face. “ He had been lying with his eyes closed for a little while, and then he would rend the destroyer of his do mestic happiness. His wife placed herself in front of the closet door, and entreated him not to open it. This only added fuel to the flame ofjealous- ly that was raging like a volcano with in “ the pent up Utica” of his breast.

With good land, or land well manured, and good seed, upon day lands, fine winter cab bage can be made in almost any por tion of the South. I have never suc ceeded upon sandy lands, as tho hot sun of July and August, upon such lands, seems to kill the plants. Sowing the Seed.-—About the middle of May I so w thc seed upon a bed iu some place that is likely to keep moist; FIto Thonsantl Fowls. Mr. Evans gives, in a recent issue of the IForW, the l»est advice as to feeding poultry that I have ever seen. Permit one who has had 5,000 fowls in his pens to add one or two sugges tions. Barley is the best of all grains as food all the time in cold weather ; fresh fish ami meat arc letter than fitt scraps. Mr. Evans gives warm fix*! morning and evening. This Is exactly right, and thc food must l»e eaten from a clean place, where it cannot by any chance become mixed with excrement. Whole food—barley—may be fed from thc same feeding box during the day at will. Give them red pepper in winter. Red pepper and lettuce are easily produced in thc summer. Letthclot- tuce grow up largo and strong, for three dozen fowls will eat an enormous quantity, grow, lay, and have wonder ful health. The cheapest and best feeding arrangement is made of a floor, upright ends, a rim ou thc top to nail laths, floor, und rim.

Sow in row* about eight | » h »t * h e> r bills may nearly meet inches apart, so you may rush the plants. > Do not use aoy manure iu preparing your bed, as the plants will grow too large, or bo more likly to die by the heat. If the plants should commence drying, shade them with a few bushes, raised three or four feet above them. If there is a branch near upon which you can make a plant-bed, it is much better, as thc greatest diffi culty in raising winter cabbage is to get the plants to live before they are transplanted, and if you have a plant- bed on or near a branch, they arc more likely to withstand thc summer heat. Preparing the land.—Having bro ken your land well and suh-soiled the same, or spaded it up, check it oil two feet each way, and with a spade dig a hole twelve or fourteen inches deep, fill nearly up with manure, and cover suriug the consumption ot food with out fighting. The bottom will be wide enough for a box of any length not over two feet high. Good roosts ; fresh air and not too great range. In sum mer tree roosts within the yard—eetla , fur iustance. In the winter, in thc house, imitation trees, thc anus o limbs made rough. a. k which are accompanied with a very it up with the earth taken out of the All wise look, a sigh and a whisper, this, too, is intolerable. A sad mistake common in a dying chamber, is to suppose that the dying person has lost perception and sensibil ity, because unable to speak. So far from this being the case, it is believed that the perceptions are more keen and delicate than when in health. Always let it be remembered, in a dying room, that the departing friend may hear all, when the persons preseut will little sus pect it. How important that every thing in a dying room should be made what it ought to be, for the salvation and quiet of one who is being broken away from all dear on earth, and ap proaching all that is serious in eternity. The sacredness and stillness of the scene should be -disturbed with great care and caution. One word more in regard to a sick room. A very great*mistake is mado in the length of prayers, and loud and excited speaking in prayer in the sick room. This is an error too common, and often the occasion of great suffer ing to the sick and dying.—Reformed The city charter of Memphis permits couple of bunches every morning, sir?

Have your land prepared and ready by the 4th of July. Setting out Plants.—Your land be ing ready, any time from the 4th of July to the 20tb, if you have a “ season," ret out your plants, which by this time will be ten or twelve inches high; if you have checked your land, set the plants upon your hills, or checks, if you have used thc other method, set the plants two feet apart upon your bed, which should not be high. Be very particular to set the plants as far down as the bud, pulling off some leaves to accomplish it; and here lies a great secret in raising thc cabbage, namely, setting them deep. Cultivating.—As soon as the plants have commenced growing, work them either with plow or. hoc once a week, pulling or putting dirt to the plants each time. By the lst r of October they will commence to bead ; continue to work them until the first frost, or un til they commence to head (fell.
