Everywhere upon her road our he roine met images of fright and desola tion. It was in the Iwginning of August; not a breath of wind freshened the heated air, not a drop of water had fallen in two months. The heat was intense and overwhelming ; the horse that drew the cart seemed exhausted. Clara arrived at last at un inn a short distance from the quarter of St. Giles. This inn was well located, isolated, having no communication with the neighboring buildings, and conse quently as healthy as one could desire at this time. Clara btopped here to allow the horse to rest and also to make inquiries. She tremblingly asked the landlord for news of her father. Alas! her worse fears were too well founded. Mr. Falkland hod been at tacked by tho pestilence : his unwor thy daughter-in-law had abandoned him, toed profiting by the feebleness which chained him to his conch she got possession of the money, silver plate, valuable furniture, and of all the linen in tho house, had piled them up on several wagons under pretext that, like so many others, the family were preparing to leave London, und had departed. Only an honest servant who had been a short time iq the ser vice of Mr. Falkland remained near him ; the others had fled from the house tho moment they had seen the mark of the plague. « Tho wicked daughter-in-law had made the neighbors believe that she was going to consult a physician as to whether it was possible to move her father. Thus she had found no obsta cle to the pillage of the house ; on the contrary, they had aided her in carrying out everything. At this terrible news what was the grief or Clara, and how she congratu lated herself on having obeyed the voice of her conscience and come in time to take care of her father so un worthily deserted and betrayed! She bought from the inn-keeper all the liueu that he could spare ; a com plete suit for herself, several pairs of sheets and blankets. But a mortal dread seized her when the man, see ing her put up these things in packa ges said, “ Miss, what will you do with those ? Do you think you will be per mitted to see your father ? They will not allow it ; all communication with tho unfortnuates attacked by the plague is forbidden. Numerous watchmen arc vigilant in preventing this by rigorous but ueces-1 sary measure.’’ In spite of this opinion, Clara, though harrassed with fear, placed all her packages upon the cart. Then she mounted it with the aid of the good inn-keeper, who offered up the most fervent prayers in her behalf. When bhe arrived at the parish of St. Giles, she did not recognize the quarter with which she had been fa miliar two short years before. All the houses were closed ; upon the greater number of the doors was painted a red cross with the inscription : “ Lord, have pity on us. ’ The streets were de serted, and the grass grew upon the pavements. Occasionally, countenan-! ees bearing the impress of death ap peared at the windows, and their pale lips murmured only the words: “Pray for us.’’ Men, bearing in their hands red wands to show that it was dan gerous to approach them, slowly walk ed the streets crying in dismal tones —“Bring out your dead.” In their; path followed the carts, upon which j they hurriedly piled the unfortunate j victims of the pestilence and hastened 1 their bodies to the grave with uo re-1 ligious ceremony to bear a sad couso- j lation to those who regretod their losa j Clara trembled with affright when she saw the first of these funeral j carts. “ Alas!’’ thought she, “ whut cer-! taiuty have I that this cart so full of 1 dead does not contain,” —She dared ! not utter the object of her dread. Such au idea was heartrending, and j slio besought her driver to redouble his speed. He willingly consented;! glad to hasten his arrival that he might depart the more quickly from the gloomy place. Tho church clock of St. Giles struck the hour of nine when Clara reached the street in which wus situated the mansion of her father. This house opening towards the street formed the corner us n small alley. Clara, not wishing to draw observation, directed her driver to stop in this alley, and she alighted trembling at the door of the house. She saw upon it the mournful sigu of the red cross; near it was btutioued a watchman charged with tho duty of preventing any one from going out or coming iu. Clara knew not how she should pre vail upon tho man to violate this or der which he was bouud to execute under the severest penalties. She re solved, however, to address him; she would learn, at least, whether her father still lived, and who could tell whether she might not inspire some pity in the breast of the man for a daughter who was flying to the succor ! of her father. She dareU not oil or j him money, for she thought he might j boon 4 of the wretches of whom she had heard „o much, and might mur der her l jc the sake of her gold. There was a dark lantern in tho cart. Clara sought it, and took it iu her hand. She was iu deep black, and wore upon her head a long whit© veil like that of a novice! She had ta ken this precaution that her father might not recoguize her immediately, fearing with reason that the sudden sight of her would awaken a danger ous emotion. She hoped also, that, seeing this costume, lie would take her for one -of these Sisters of Charity whose more than human kindness sig nalized itself in this dread season as iu so many others. The rhu'kaess, the unexpected oppo sition, the pallor of her cheeks, the white veil, the lantern that she bore in her hand, made the watchman trembL; he believed that he saw a visitant from another world, und made the sigu of the cross. Clara saw by this that ho was a Catholic, and con ceived a hope that he would be more disposed to render her a service when he knew that she was of tho same re ligion. tSiie stood then at the door of the paternal mansion, face to face with the man who looked at her with an amazed and frightened air ; only one word from this man would end thQ horrible suspense which tortued her, But this word, —she dreaded to call it forth —and her voice died away. “Do you wish anything? ’’ asked the watchman at length whose terror was dissipated, and who by the light of the lantern, read upon her counte nance the anxiety to which she wus a i P«y. i At last in a feeble voice she pre [ counted one word; “Mr. Falkland.” “ Yes,” said the watchman, “this is his dwelling.’’ “ Does he t till liv e ?” “I do not know. I believe so, I i hope so.’’ “ God be praised,” cried Clara, sob bing. The watchman seemed touched I with compassion, and his voice was softened when he added: “ But I must . not deceive you, there is not much hope. The servant who was with Lim must be dead, for I have neither seen nor heard him for several hours. The doctor who attended Mr. Falkland, and who has just fallen a prey to the pestilence, did not think Mr. Falkland could recover.” Despite all this sad news, Clara gathered up her strength to bear tL-e burden bravely. “I entreat you,” she cried, “allow me to enter. I have come nearly a hundred leagues to see my father. I come to care for him, to save him.” “His daughter?”cried tho watch man. “Ah! if I could permit you! But no, I cannot, I dare not. No, this is forbidden. It is impossible.’’ “ Take pity on me, replied Clara, j “do not refuse me, I beseech you ;! open this door, and do not hinder a daughter from seeing her father. Perhaps I can save him; I pray you in the name of this cross,’’ she added, showing the relic her auut had hung from her neck, “iu tho name of this sacred symbol of our common faith (for I see that you are a Catholic like myself;) in the name of your mother, if, happier thau I, you yet possess one.’’ “ Oh, yes,’’ said the watchman, the tears in his eyes, “ I have still a moth er, my dear mother ; and if she were in danger I would give my life to save j hers. No, I cannot refuse you.’’ And, being assured that at this time uo one was in the street, he added-—" Go in, j and may the blessing of heaven ac company you.” The door opened, not without diffi culty, something placed behind it seeming to oppose; and Clara was struck with horror when she saw on entering the body of the poor servant, who had perished in this place. She suppressed her emotion, and whilst the watchman called help to raise the body, the drivers of a funeral cart ap pearing iu the distance, she hustened towaids the chamber of her father. Arriving at the door*, she stopped a moment; no noise was heard. She opened it softly and entered. TO UK CONTINUED NEXT WEEK. BULLOCK. The carreer of Bullock is a fine in stance of extraordinary alternations of human vicissitudes. Bubbled to the surface amid the convulsions of political disorder and social turmoil, he rode for awhile on a despotic pre-eminence as a stranger executive of the proud State of Geor gia. The absolute supremacy of his power and his cool disdain of tram mels for three years constitute a pic ture of bold, evil rule not ofteu seen, and admirable iu its malicious aud ty rannical consistency. The man made and unmade Legislatures, toyed with tho State’s sacred sovereignty like a worthless bauble, swayed the judicia ry, and scattered the people’s money with the lavish liberality of a prince, and the reckless caprice of a muniliceut madman. He preserved his gorgeous deport ment amid it all, arrayed like a mon arch, imposing in presence, smiling and affable, the princely imperturpable and benignant patron of thieves and adventurers. His abdication came like a lightning stroke in the very zenith of his power. Never did he appear braver and more assured than in the very preliminaries of his hegira, aud ho accompanied his release of the State from bis foul grip with a characteristic ebulitiou of gran diloquence and hypocritical assumacy of virtue. He has braved it out well. Never mau so heroically appeared virtuous who lacked it, never Pharisee made a sublimer display of brazeu effrontery as a persecuted and incorruptible in nocent than this self-same superb Rad ical bawd. Down the metallic deity fell with a long descent and a dull thud. Gov ernors have played the game of justice over tho bigbcockolorum fugitive, and to-day sees him a miserable skulker from the offended law; and an outcast from home, friends, society and gov ernment.

Almost all the bars in England are presided over by women, and their names appear over the street doors as ‘ licensed to keep and retail ” alcoholic potations. An industrious lady of Garner, Minn., was seen day after day of last week standing upon the topmost round of a tall ladder with paint brush iu hand, slapping the white paint upon the walls of a two-story building just as naturally as could one of the lords of creation in breeches. A laborer in Milwaukee was recent ly plunged into the deepest affliction by tho death of his wife. On array ing her for tho grave he was greatly consoled, however, by discovering that suspicious looking lumps on her legs proved to be packages containing sev eral kuukred dollars in currency con cealed iu her stockings. No party, Church, or movement in the world can be strong, and great, and progressive, which is not also broad,- generous and magnanimous. The conquering promise must be the spirit, and not the letter; truth, aud not policy; breadth, aud not narrow uess.

O e winter there came to Trenton, New Jersey, two men named Smith aud Jones, both of whom had designs upon the Legislature. Jones had a bad wife, and was in love with anoth er pretty woman, who, by-the-by, was ! a widow, with sparkling black eyes. Smith had a good wife, plump as a robin, good as an angel, and the moth er of ten children. Smith did not want to get divorced, but sought to get a charter for a turnpike from Pig’s Run to Terrapin Hollow. So, with these different objects, they came to Trenton, and addressed the assembled wisdom there with the usual argu | ments : Ist. Oyster suppers, with a lich background of steak and venison. 2d. Liquors in abundance, from the tunning “ Jersey lightning” to the I bubbliug champagne. To speak iu plain prose, Jones gave a champagne supper, and Smith fol lowed with a champagne breakfast. Under the mollifying influence of these tempting repasts, the wise law makers passed botn the divorce and turnpike bills, and Jones and Smith — with a copy of each bill in parchment iu their pockets—went rejoicing to their homes. “ My love,” said Smith, when he was once more comfortably ensconed be fore his own domestic hearthstone, and speaking to his wife, who was minis tering to the necessities of the young est off spring, “ I am one cf the Direc tors of the Pig’s Run and Terrapin Hollow Turnpike, and will be Presi dent, my dear. It will quite set us up iu life. We will send our children to boarding school, and live in style off the tolls. Here’s the charter, ducky.” “ Let me see it, pet,” said the wife, who was the best of wives, with plumpness and good nature beaming all over her face. She nestled on Smith’s shoulder, and threw her arm lovingly about his neck, as she helped him examine the parehmeut. Suddenly Smith’s visage grew long. His wife’s looked blank. Smith was not generally profane, but now he rip ped out a fearful oath. “ Blast it, wife!” he shouted, furi ously, those scoundrels at Trenton have divorced us!” It was too true. The parchment he held was a bill of divorce, in which the names of Smith and his wife appeared in frightful big letters. Mrs. Smith wiped her eyes wi ll the corner of her apron, as she exclaimed : “ Oh, dear, here's a turnpike! Mr. Smith, with the whole ten of our chil li ien staring me in the face, I ain’t your wife.’’ Here the voice of the poor woman became choked with sobs, and her ut terances were too indistinct to be re corded. As for Smith, he cursed away at such a rate as would have convinc ed any spectator of the propriety of sending him a missionary. Although the night was dark, and the denizens of the village had retired to their beds, Smith bid his wife put on her boon ', and arm-in-arm they proceeded t > me house of the clergyman of their church. “ Goodness, bless me!” exclaimed the mild, good man, as he saw them enter, Smith looking like the last June shad, and Smith’s wife’s face all streaked with tears, “ what is the mat ter ?’’ “ The matter is, I want you to mar ry us right off,” replied Smith. “ Marry you !’’ exclaimed the aston ished clergyman, with expanded fin gers aud wondering eyes ; “ are you drunk or crazy ?” “ Neithei 7 . The fact is, Brother Goodwin, some scoundrels at Trenton have, unknown to us, dhorced me from my wife, and she is the mother of all my children.’’ “ Well, the minister, seeing the con dition of things married them over again, and would not take any fee. The fact is, he was anxious to be alone so that he could give vent to a sup pressed laugh that was shaking him all over. Smith and his wife went home and kissed every one of their ten children and the little Smiths never knew that their father and mother had been made strangers to each other by legis lative enactment. Meauwhile, and on the self-same night, Jones returned to his native town, and sought the fine pair of black eyes which he hoped shortly to call his own. The pretty widow sat on a sofa, a white handkerchief tied carelessly about her round, white throat, and her black hair in silky waves against her rosy cheek. “ Divorce is the word !’’ cried Jones, playfully patting the double chin. “ The fact is, Eliza, I am rid of that woman, and you aud I will be mar ried to-night. I know how to manage those fellows at Trenton. A cham pagne supper (or was it a breakfast ?) did our business with them. Put on your bonnet, and let us go to the preacher’s at once, dearest.’’ The widow (who was among wid ows as peaches are among apples) put ou her bonnet and took Jones’ arm, and— “ Just look how 7 handsome it is put on the parchment,” cried Jones, pull ing the document out before her, ‘‘ here’s the law which says that Jack Jones and Ann Caroline Jones are two ? Look at it!” Putting her plump, gloved hand on his shoulder, she did look at it. “Oh, dear!’’ she exclaimed, with her rosebud lips, and sank back, half fainting, on the sofa. “ Oh, blazes!” cried Jones, rumpling the parchment in his hand ; “ here’s lots of champage and happiness gone to ruin.’’ It w 7 as a hard case. Instead of be ing divorced, and at liberty to marry the widow, Jacob Jones was simply, by the Legislature of New Jersey, in corporated into a Turnpike Company with the liberty of constructing a turn pike from Burlington to Bristol. When you reflect that Burlington and Bristol are located about a mile apart ou opposite sides of the Delaware riv er you will perceive the extreme hope lessness of Jones’ case. “It is all the fault of that turnpike man who gave them the suppper—or, wus it the breakfast ?” cried Jones in his agony. “If they had only char tered me to lay a turnpike from Pig’s Run to Terrapin Hollow, I might have borne it, but the very idea of laying a turnpike across the. Delaware river, from Burlington to Bristol is au infer nal absurdity.” So it was. Aud ain’t you divorced?” said Eli za, a tear rolling down each cheek. “No!” thundered Jones, crushing his hat between his knees ; and what is worse, the Legislature have adjourn ed and gone home druuk, and won’t be back to Trenton until next year.’’ It was sad. The mistake had oc curred ou the last day of the session, when the Legislature aud transcribing clerks were laboring under the effects of a champagne breakfast. Smith’s name had been put where Jones’ ought to have beeD, and “ wisey-wersey,” as the Latin poet hath it. GIRLS-BY A BOY. Girls are the most unaccoontablest things in the world—except woman. Like the wicked flea, when you have them they ain’t there. I can cipher clean over to improper fractions, and the teacher says I do it first-rate; but I can’t cipher out a girl, proper or improper, and you can’t either. The only rule in arithmetic that hits their case is the double rule of two. They are full of old Nick as tueir skins can hold, and they would die if they couldn’t torment somebody. When they try to be mean they are as mean as a pustey, thougu they ain’t as mean as they let od, except sometimes, and then they are a great deal meaner. The only way to get along w 7 ith a girl w 7 heo she comes at you with her nonsense, is to give her tit for tat, and that will flummux her, and when you get a girl flummuxed she is as nice as anew pin. A girl can sow more wild oats in a day than a boy sows in a year, but girls get their wild oats sowed aftur a while, which boys never do, and then they settle down as calm and placid as a mud puddle. But I like girls first rate, and I guess the boys all do. I don’t care how many tricks they play on me —aud they don't care either. The hoitytoitiest girls :n the world can’t always boil over like a glass of soda. By and by they will get into the traces with somebody they like, and pull as steady as any old stage horse. That is the beauty of them. So let them wave, I say; they will pay for it some day, sewing on buttons and trying to make a decent man of the feller they have spliced on to, and ten chances to one if they don’t get the worst of it. HOW A PRINTER GOT HIS PAY. A circus company in lowa owed an editor a bill for advertising and refus ed to pay it. Thereupon the editor called upon the sheriff - , who attached the Bengali tiger, and brought him around to the newspaper office in his cage. He was placed iu the compos ing room, and during the first two days he not only consumed fifteen dol lars’ worth of beef, but he scratched six dollars’ worth of trowsers from the leg of a local reporter who endeavored to stir him up with a broom-handle to make him roar. Ou the third day the tiger broke loose, and the entire force of printers descended the stair case with judicious suddenness. The editor was alarmed to find his exit through the composing room cut off, and that the latch upon the sanctum door was broken. So he climbed out of a window and sought safety upon the roof. The paper was not issued for a week, and even after the tiger was shot the editor had to slide down the water spout, because he was afraid to descend by tho route by which he came. MAIDENLY SYMP iY)MS OF CELIBACY. Wheu a woman begius to lx-ml love stories abed—that’s a symptom. When a woman gives a sigh on hearing of a wedding—that’s a symp tom. When a woman begins to say she’s refused many an offer—that’s a symp tom. When a woman begins to talk about rheumatism iu her knees and elbows— that’s a symptom. When a woman begins to say what a dreadful set of creatures men are, aud that she wouldn’t be bothered with one for the world—that’s a symp tom. Wheu a woman begins to have a lit tle dog trotting after her—that’s a symptom. Y/hen a woman begins to have a cat at her elbow at meal time, and gives it sweetened milk—that’s a symp tom. When a woman begius to be ashamed to take off her bonnet in a gentleman’s company, because she has no cap on—that’s a symptom. When a woman begins to say that a servant has no right to have a sweet heart—that’s a symptom. When a woman begius to go to bed with her stockings and a flannel night cap on—that’s a symptom. Wheu a woman begius to put her fingers before her mouth wheu talking to any one, for fear they should see she’s losing her teeth—that’s a symp tom. A despondent husband was telling his woes, and the dark prospects before him, to his better half the other day, when she, to encourage him, advised him to take heart aud never despair, “ For,” said she, “ I’ll never desert you if we are compelled to live on bread and water.” “ I’ll tell you what I’ll do then, my dear,” replied the hard-hearted sinner, “ if you’ll get the bread. I’ll furnish the water. Chapin says: I love to hear the rumbling of the steam power press, better than the rattle and roaring of artillery. It is silently attacking and vanquishing the Halakoffs of vice and Redans of evil; and its parallels and approaches cannot be resisted. I like the click of type in the composing stick, better than the click of the musket in the hands of the soldier. It bears a leaden messenger of deadlier power, of sublimer force, and of surer aim, which will hit its mark, though it is a thousand years! HOW TO CURE JUMPING CATTTLE. Captain J. C. McCord,of this county, has tested the following method to prevent cattle from jumping fences, on one of the worst jumping cows he ever saw, and found it completely successful: Take a pair of scissors and cut close the eyelashes on the upper lid of the eyes. Nothing more and uotning less than simply that The effect seems to be to make all obstacles appear, to the animel, to be much higher than they really are. This does uo injury and is more effectual than clogs or brakes. FARMER’S CLUBS. \Ve know of no agency next to the Agricultural newspapers, likely to prove more beneficial to the farmer than connection with a good live Farmer’s Club. There are many such in this country, and their number is daily increasing. They should be warmly incouraged, for they are schools for old and young, aud where, as is now so frequently the case, their proceedings are reported in the week ly papers, they become of great pub lic value. Every township should have such a club. The greatest curiosity in the world —a woman’s. Agricultural Department. FRUITS AND BERRIES 7s PROMOTERS OF HEALTH * Fruits and berries at this geascoi of the year are not only precious luxuries but great promoters of health. They act upou the liver, promoting that secretion naturally which many are in the habit of obtaining only by the , means of artificial medicines. They thus avert many a disease resulting from a torpid condition of the liver. Another way in which they act b neficially is iu the mechanical effect their little seeds produce in passing through the bowels, very much the same as an irritated eye-ball when any hard substance touches that delicate organ, and this water, by dissolving the hardened contents of constipated bowels, keeps them in a healthier state than any pill or purgative invented by the apothecary. There can be no doubt that in the summer and fall seasons people who live mainly on fruits and berries aud coarse bread, can almost insure exemption from sickness, while those who eat heartily of solid meats and vegetables two or three times a day are liable to all the diseases that Hash is heir to. With us the use of the apple as an article of food is far underrated. Besides containing a large amount of sugar, mucilage and other nutritive matter, apples contain vegetable acids, aromatic qualities &c.,which act power fully in the capacity of refrigerants, tonics and anticgptics, and when freely used at the season of mellow ripeness they prevent debility, in digestion, and avert, without doubt, many of the ills which flesh is heir j to. The operators of Cornwall, ! England, consider ripe apples nearly ►as nourishing as bread, and far more Iso thau potatoes. In the year 11801 —which was a year of much ; scarcity—apples, instead of being I converted into cider, were sold to the poor, and the laborers asserted that ; they could stand their work on baked 1 apples without meat; whereas a I potato diet required either meat or some other substantial nutriment. The French and Germans use apples extensively; so do the inhabitants of all the European nations. The laborers depend upon them as an article of food, and frequently make a dinner of sliced apples and bread. There is uo fruit cooked in as many different ways in our own country as apples, nor is there any fruit whose value as au article of nutriment is as great aud so little appreciated. NO FEMALE FARM LABORERS. Start a story about a brawny woman running a farm—building the fences, plowing tho fields, driving the reaper, picking up the stones and all that—as some fellow did concerning a female land owner, near Canandaigua Lake last year—and it goes the rounds of the whole American press, half the editors applauding the Amazon for her independence, industry and thrift. Hardly one stops to ask if it is womanly or proper, or civilized even. One would almost conclude that mankind would prefer to have the female portion of the population do all the hewing of wood and drawing of water. But it should be remembered that such performances on the part of the females are only croppings out ot' the barbarism that only a portion of the world has even yet emerged from. England has plenty of it left in the agricultural districts, and it is not unknown in the manufacturing counties. A late writer in the London Telegraph describes a trip into Staffordshire, where the women work at the blacksmith’s forge as long aud hard as the men. He says it is not uncommon to find a mother and three lusty daughters, fully of marriageable age, stripped to their stays, and, with a kerchief over their shoulders, wielding the hammers and tugging at the bellows, making twelve hundred nails for twelve pence, aud working from eight in the morning to ten at night. At Lye Waste, whole streets are made up of these smithies, in which these women and their children toil, year in and year out, beside their husbands and brothers. They have about as much refinement and intelligence as a “Digger” Indian. Let our women take to the plow and hoe, aud we should soon have districts iu which they will rival these muscular females of the Staffordshire smithies ! We are disgusted with all this talk about women farmers. Let our girls take all the prizes at our universities: drive all the men from the rostrum; run our banking and brokerage; keep our shops; become governors and presidents, vote and be happy according to their capabilities; but deliver us from female blacksmiths aud farm laborers. If man is not fitted for this work, we know not what his particular sphere can be.— Prairie Farmer. CURE FOR MEINGITIS. The Freeport (Illinois) Bulletin publishes the following letter from a gentleman in Michigan to a friend iu Freeport: I only write to tell you what will save every case of “ cerebro spinal meningitis.” It is the same epidemic that raged in this State iu the winters 1846 and 1848, which broke up our Legislature, and which carried to the grave every one it touched until the old-fashioned hemlock sweats were adopted, after which every case was saved. Our people sent about twenty five miles and procured hemlock boughs, and they sent for it from all parts of the State. There was a company here that was called the “ Hook and Ladder company,’’ that for weeks did nothing night and day but go from house to house giving hemlock sweats, and it saved every case. Thorough sweating might, but there is no mistake about hemlock sweats being a specific.
