In twenty-third street, Hew York, j when the frost of last winter began to j enhance the price of fuel, lived a poor widow, whose name we do not feel at liberty to mention. She w:i3 very, poor, and for weeks she had been eo feeble as to be unable to work. She nad seen bettor days—days of pride and comfort.—but from one degree to another of misfortune had she snnk, until absolute want had invaded her disnml home. When she first came to the great city, she had been blessed with a son who had given her shelter and protection. Her son went into the army, and died iu the trenches be fore York town. A year afterwards the son's wife died, leaving to the care of the bereaved woman, a grandchild three years old. What with Ihe pension money to the soldier’s child, and the proceeds of her own labor, the widow managed, for a while, to live in comparative comfort; hut sickness came, and the end of a year of new misfortune found her still iu ill health, and homeless and starv ing. _ Night had come dark and drear.— On the morrow she must go forth into the streets. She had seated herself by the window, when a low knock at the door aroused her from her reverie. Ihe child answered the summons, and a policeman followed the little one into the room. “Don’t be alarmed,” said the officer kindly, as he noticed that the poor wo man was frightened, ‘What is your name Y She told him. ‘We are right, this is the place.’ These words were spoken to some ono on the landing, and directly after wards a young man of gentlemanly appearance came in. “This is the woman ?” the officer ad ded, pointing with his hand. The stranger advanced, and for a time was perceptibly affected by the signs of poverty and distress; but his handsome face brightened as he spoke. Ho asked the woman for the name of her husband; for his occupation; and the date of liis death; and a lew other plain questions; and when she had an swered them, he said to her, “My father was once in your hus band’s employment as bookkeeper, and while in this position he appropriated to his own use two hundred and fifty dollars belonging to his employer. I need not stop in this place to tell you a long story. Suffice it for me to say, the bookkeeper went to a Western city, where he married and entered into business. He prospered beyond his expectations. As the years passed on, and his children grew up around him, he had bitter recolections of that early sin, and earnestly desired to make res titution; but his old employer was dead, and he knew not where to find any of thcr family. Last spring my father lay upon his death bed, and to me he told the story of his crime; and he solemnly charged me if ever I found the wife, or a child, or near relative of the wronged man, that I should return the sum with ample interest. This very month—not two weeks ego — while transacting some business with the pension agent in this city, I heard of you. I have searched without ceas ing ever since, and, thank heaven, I have found you. I shall think of my dead father with more of comfort now that I am able to make this restitution. The original sum was two hundred and fifty dollars, and it was taken thir ty-five years ago. At compound inter est the amount would now be over two thousand dollars. I shall make it twenty-five hundred, trusting that we may so invest it as to give you peace and comfort.” On the morrow the woman and the child left the poor abode* but not for a home in the streets. 'I he new found friend did not leave them until he had seen them comfortable and happy in a homefar away from the great American Babel; and when he finally turned his steps towards his own home in the West, it would be hard to tell which had been blest most in the work of restitution. Clct Miar2’lcd Early, Boys. In nine cases out of ten, the young man who takes to himself a wife as soon as he becomes of age, lays a per manent foundation for future useful ness and prosperity, besides giving bond and security to society for his future good behavior as a citizen. He acquires good habits, is of some benefit to those around him, and is generally more respected and beloved by the whole community. But never marry for money, nor repudiate the love of a pure-minded, loving, virtuous girl, simply because she lias not got the stamps. Never say to her: “I’d offer thee this hand of mine, If thou but hads’t the dimes; But purses short and slim as thine Won’t do for these hard times. I leave thee in thy wretchedness, As one too poor to mate; For love, you know, can only bless, When based on real estate. - ’ The young man who marries prop erty hardly ever fails to regret liis choice. If, on the contrary, he mar ries a helpmeet instead of a help-eat the-meat, each can do something to make home happy in future, the hus band can earn and the wife can save, each zealously promoting the interest of the other, and both eager to see which can accomplish the most. The young man who does not surround himself with domestic enjoyment at the earliest practical moment, is be yond all question throwing away the best years of his life. In early mar riages are found the greatest enjoy ments of which life can boast. He who lias a young, loviDg, affectionate wife to welcome him at the termina tion of his day’s labors, may well have cause to rejoice. He has something to live for—something to boast of, and if his is not a happy state of existence, the fault is entir 1/ his own. It would be infinitely bettir for tlm world if young men would many' the moment that they art capable oi' supporting a wife. The excuse too frequently U ’ged bv young men is that they cannot ass »rd it, the young ladies are so very expens ive it is ns much as they can do to support themselves without having to settle heavy dry goods bills. The whole of this is humbug from begin ning so end. Young ladies dress in order to appear more attractive in the eyes ofthe young men of their acquain tance, and the moment they become wives they generally conform to the position their husbands may occupy in life. The truth of the matter is, that the money invested by our young men in whisky, cigars, nice little oys ter suppers and similar follies, would cancel nearly, if not nil, the dressmak ers’ and milliners’ bills in town. A good wife is the greatest and best treas ure a man ever had, end there are j plenty of them to be had iu this city ’ for the asking. f Journal & Messenger. | Anecdote of JUlsSaop Blascorn. Sir. Bascom traveled two years in the mountainous regions of Kentucky. The country was rough, and the peo ple generally poor. But the romantic wildness of the country was congenial with his feelings, and ho enjoyed the rude hospitality of the sincere-hearted foresters. He used to tell, with much apparent pleasure, of a dinner he en joyed with particular satisfaction. He was preaching on one occasion ia a cabin, which was once church and dwelling. The people were listening with seriousness and deep attention to the truths of the gospel, when, in the very midst of his sermon, his host, who sat near the door, suddenly rose from bis seat, snatched the gun from two wooden brackets, upon which it lay against the joist, went hastily out, fir ed it off, and returning put the gun back in its place, and quietly seated himself to bear the remainder of the sermon. The whole affair had hardly consumed as much time as it requires to read this recount of it, and in a very few moments all was going on its smoothly as if no interruption had oc curred. After service was i nded, Bas com inquired of the man the meaning of liis strange conduct. “Sir,” said he, “we are entirely out of meat, and I was perplexed to know what we should give you for your din ner, and it was preventing me from en joying the sermon, when the Good One sent a flock of wild turkeys this way; I happened to see them, took my gun and killed two at a shot; my mind felt earsy, and I enjoyed tlve remainder ot the sermon with perfect satisfaction.'’ The Quaker Landlord.— A goodsto "•j is tAdof a Quaker landlord at At lantic City. An urchin of live or six years was seen by him drumming nois ily upon a handsome walnut balus trade. The Friend remonstrated with him without effect, and then quietly took him up bodily and carried him into the back yard. In a moment the boy’s angry mother made her appear ance and opened upon the landlord with a torrent of invective, concluding with, “I’ll leave this house instantly.” The quaker immediately touched a bell and said to the daik-skinned waiter who responded to the call, “Leonidas, go up (oL2 and bring down this friend’s baggage when she tells thee she is ready for thee. If she wants thee to get a carriage for her, or ha3 any com mands until she is gone, thee will see them attended to.” The lady sudden ly began to cool down, apologised, and asked to be allowed to retain her room, but only received the reply, “My house shall never make auy one a liar. My bookkeeper will settle with thee. Fare thee well.” Soon afterwards her bag gage was taken down stairs by the stout negro to the music of her son’s voice, caused by her imparting to him, unexpected caloric with a strip of shingle. Can Such Things Be?— A correspon dent of the Atlanta Constitution, writ ins: from Greensboro, North Carolina, O 7 says: “At this point, I learned from sever al reliable and pious citizens, of one of the strangest occurrences that has ev er happened in that or any other State. A cow, belonging to a Methodist min ister, living six miles from Greet boro, gave birth to a negro baby. The head uud face, and all the upper part of the animal, are unmistakably those of a negro child, and the lower part that of a calf. The gentleman who iuformed me of it is a highly responsible citizen, and he was so deeply disgusted that lie declined to talk about it. I hope the disciples of Ariel did not draw any conclusion from it. I assure you I al most regret that I ever heard it, and I have hastened to write you about it.” It is stated, on English author ity, that over thirteen him Ired thou sand Hindoos and three hundred thou sand Egyptians have perished within the last live years from starvation, con sequent upon llie forced cultivation of cotton instead of bread. If t>u3 be true, such competition will hardly prove successful against the South. A man locked his wife into an up per room, and not being satisfied with ; this punishment but wishing to aggra vate her still further, sent his son up with a bone. The youth innoeoutly brought it, and said,* “Mother, father sent this up, and says there is a bone for you to pick.” The gentle mother replied: “Take it back and tell him I say he is not your father, and there’s a bone for him to pick.” Negro Mechanics. —A Washington dispatch says: The various trades uni ons here are adopting new constitutions, which prohibit negro mechanics from having membership.

There was also a plant with nine blossoms at lVof. Twining’s in Elm street, and another with several blossoms, in State street, to be seen. — New Haven Courier. Old Jethro Tull deserves honor from this generation for his theory that thorough mechanical cultivation will alone maintain the soil fertile, for al though it has been long exploded, yet it was very good doctrine to promul gate in the dawning of scientific agri culture. It led to underdraining, deep plowing, and a frequent stirring of the soil when crops are growing; it prepared the way for the farmer who w as to use manure. Recently, Mrs. Denny, a resident of Princeton, Kv., purchased a lot of duck eggs, carried them home, aid, for convenient use, placed them in her bureau drawer, where they remained undisturbed for some days, when at tention was called to the bureau bv an unusual noise therein. Upon pulling out the drawer, to her utter astonish ment, she found three young ducks hatched out and scratching around for freedom. In connection with the destruction of the cureulio, all peaches commmenc ing to rot should be picked from the tree and destroyed—not thrown on the ground.

It is easy for horticultural writers to undervalue and scout the efficiency of all this insect fighting, as ma ny do, but is a more grateful duty to report its complete success where tver it has been rigidly carried on. Mr. Samuel Johnson, the Superin tendent of the farm at the State Agri cultural College, informs the editor of the Maine Farmer, that he found an application of soapsuds to grass lands gave more than double the increase of growth than was produced by any other fertilizer whatever. Every par ticle of soap suds is saved, and applied j at intervals upon grass ground.— What a source is here for the saving of fertilizing matter which now so generally goes to waste. One great reason why manure nev er acts vigorously on light sand is, that the extreme porosity which character izes it, causes the dung to keep dry, and consequently to remain inert. A lump of dry manure is no better iu the soil than a chip or a stone, and will produce just the same effect upon the crop. The clay gives cohesiveness to ! particles, unites them by a sort of £m j tinous attachment and conjuration, and while ; t favors the absorption and i retention of moijuve, ensures the fer i mentation and ultimate decomposition jof the dung. In a few years ths soil J will assume n firnj dark appearance, resembling anould, and the va- lion* grrrses will find in it a bed ca pable of affording expansion to their roots, and supply a moisture aud .so luble food commensurable wil h their wants.

Saltpetei: South in fok Seed Wheat. —Captain James \V Thillips, a highly successful wheat-grower near Pedlar A tills, iu Amherst, Virginia, informs me that he has found, by repeated ex periments through a long course of years on the same and in different fields, and on several varieties of wheat, that soaking his: seed wheat over night in a solution uiude of two jiounds of saltpetre to eight gallons of water is a sine preventative of rust. On takjng his seed out of tire brine he rolls it in i'reshly-sduked lime if he has it, if not, in dry ashes, and sows it ihut morning, plowing and harrowing it in that day. lie attributes the efficacy of the pre paration entirely to the saltpetre, which, he says, also increases the crop and hastens its maturity a week or ten days.—An Old Farmer.
