That apparitions do not always wan der without sufficient cause, is proved by tho well attested fact which wo give be low : hast Tuesday fortnight, as Mrs. , a lady of rather literary taste and studi ous habit, silt reading in llio drawing room; the clock on the mantle struck twelve; as the last stroke revet berated through the apartments, tho door was thing w ide open !

This brought up such members of the family ns had not retired to rest; restoratives were administered, and when Mrs. had regained her suspended faculties, and being a woman of strong mind nnd highly cultivated in'ellect, she felt dis posed to consider tho whole distress she laid undergone us the result of certain associations between the inelancholly tale she had been perusing nnd her late loss, operating on a partly deranged ner vous system. Bite, however, considered it advisable .that Iter maid servant should repost! iu her chamber, lost any return of what kIio considered a nervous affec tion should distress herself und alarm tho family. Last Tuesday night, feeling stronger nnd in hotter spirits than sho had been for several months passed, Mrs. dispens’d with tho presence of her attendant, retiring ttlono to her chumber, went to bed a little beforo ten o’clock. Exactly as the clock struck twelve Bho was awakened from her sleep, and distinctly behold tlio appari tion hbe had before soon, advancing from tho table, on which stood her night lamp, till it stood opposite to und drew aside tho curtains of her bod. (She describes her very blood retreating with icy dull ness to her heart from every vein. The countenance of her beloved in life wore not its benevolent Aspect; the eyes once beaming with affection, wore now filled with stern regard on the trembling, hall dissolved being, who, with tho courage of desperation, thus adjured him,— “Charles I dear Charles I why are you come again ?” “Jessie,” slowly und solemnly aspira ted the shndowy form, waving in his blind n omul! roll of writing paper, “Jos- Bio, pay my newspaper accounts nnd let merest in peace I’* THE TOOMBS OF BYRON AND NAPOLEON.

AVERY HARD CAFE. 1 had been soirto months in America, poet promised fmuh joy and a happiness to the newly married couple. About] •von o’clock tlio company dispersed, aving the gentle “sir” hud his fair lady [to the blissful enjoyment of retirement. About three o’clock the slumberers were aroused by the barking of dogs, and tho sound of horses feet were distinctly heard in tho distance. On approaching nearer tho house, it was discovered that two brothers and a relative had come on some mission. They demanded tho im mediate delivornneo of tho young man and liisbrido: tho landlord expostula ted ; with oatiis and imprecations they threatened denth to tho bridegroom, ami eternal separation from his wife.— “Well, ll rutin) llliillllin ill .\1lldlvil, ,,,. , landing in New Orleans, 1, Jhov gnve the young man ten tnioutoatc determine whether he would open the door or not; nnd, if within that time ho failed to open tho door, Ins life paid tho penalty.

Should not n defijrmod woman, jvho appears graceful ip her husband's eyes; a lame one, whoso defect a man would u t wish remedied, or an elderly one, who still seems young to tho fond gaze of love, bo reckoned tho happiest of tlio lo- male sexV Can human pasjjon go bu- y«und ibis? It is ti woman’s great glo ry to pftBsess such nn influence over a lover, that he nhould'ndnro her for that which the world generally looks upon ns a blemish. To forget that the Inmo can not walk straight, may proceed from tho fascination of the moment; but to lovo her becauso she limps, is like deifying her for her defect. Perhaps tlio follow ing benutitudo mny be justly inscribed in the gospel of women—“Ulessod nro the imperfect for the kingdom uf love is tlioir heritage.” And righdy considered, llio perfection of bounty is rather a misfortune than :>tliorwiuo, for a woman. Its trnnelent bloom enters too much into the substance of the passion she inspires, and she is loved much fur it in tlio snino way as a rich heiress iH loved for hermonoy. Hut that lovo which is excited by a female disinherited of these fleeting graces which the children of Adam run after, is tho real nnd true lovo, mysterious nnd unknown to tho world, an ardent inter change of soul und sentiment, w hose day of disenchantment never comes.— Such a creature possesses graces inde pendent of, and uncontrolled by tho cn- prieecs of society. Tho flower of her beauty is always in season; nnd tho ex quisite pleasure of making Iter imporfoo- tiona fcrgQitcii m ioo intense not to in spire her with nn unconquerable desire of pleasing. Tlio most memorable lovo stories in histoiv recount tlio devoted at tachments inspired by* women whom the vulgar herd thought plain. Cluopotra, Jcitnno of Naples, Diana of Poitiers, Mndomnisello de la Nalleiro. Madame do Mnintonon, and, in short, tnfa greater part oi those females who ImVo been made famous bv tho pnsaiou they inspir ed in kjngB and heroes, were all disfig ured by Homo pcriomil blemish or infirm ity ; while the majority of those whoso benuty has boon extolled us faultless nnd consummate, found only disappointments iu their love, or wituoaaed its mulnuohol* ly entustropho. This iqipnreui iuoousia- toncy must have a cause ; nnd, perhaps, man lives more on sentiment than actual onjoymont; perhaps tlio many physical cfiurma of tho ull-porfoot Imvo their lim it,’while the essentially morul attractions of an ordinary woman nro infinite. Had Henry tho Eighth’s wives’ been ugly, thfty might have dofiod thonxo, nnd hnvo ovurcomo tho inconstancy of tlioir royril in aster. place.

Occasionally, nn individual says to ns, “Times nro so hard with me, 1 must stop iny paper,” or, as in some instances, “my wife thinks wo otn diupdtito with the pa- pet now, unti l, mint stop it.” Thus it is; stop tlio paper tho first tiling ns n useless oxpeuso, yvilljquk thinking of tlio actual waste of money for tho many things drank, etc , smoked or chewed, w ltiqli car, do tho system no good, or rather Ijtfnn. The newspaper can or should bo re garded ns a benefit to every liouseliolj. It imparts UHofnl information; ti furbish es BUbjootB for thought'nnd conversation; it mhis a oharm to Hooial intercoriree; it makes..ugreoablo muotbora of society.— To he without a mivv«p:qrcr otto migiit as Well bo out of the world ; lie becomes a perfect nobody; w lieu lie gucs into so ciety, hoars other folks talk about cur rent events, and discuss questions of lo cal or general inletest, ho cun tiiky no part iu these llibigs, ueunuso ho is not posted, not havl/ig read'tho papers.— And iu tho family circle wlmt an influ ence tho newspaper has! Tho children rend it, und gain knowledge; tlHorvOB to occupy tlioir leisure hours; to keup them from frivolous amusements, and gives iip attraction to home. (Surely, then, no wise parent would go without a newspaper in liin family—and a local newspaper, too. lie may think fm can get along without il, becauso ho is out in tho world and can linvo tH<i reading of it frtVm his neighbor’s slid]') hr store, or can learn what is going on from oth ers. Hill this Is rather a moan way.— Men ought to be independent. They ought to read for’lhfeinselveH. If, how ever they do not think they need Uie’pn- per themselves, they may rust assungl tliut their families do. Considurutio'na like these should hnvfl weight, and 1 should induce those who have hadjjUiuiigbts of stopping their powspnpors, not,to do so, nnu for those who huvu not taken a paper to subscribe at once for one.—JJtc, .

A FIVE FIELD SYSTEM. “Notwithstanding wlmt wo Imvo said of the profitnblu oxperionco of those who have practiced thu four field system with dlovor, wo should be tempted to guard nguinst risk ofultinmtfl failure by a ohnngo In ono point. Wo should niako tho four fields five, and sowing timothy seed with the clover, take n crop of tim othy buy, when wo now tnko wheat, and have this follow immoJiutoly niter the timothy. Tho your devoted to clover might, in this case, lie a year or pastur age, and thus allow a very considerable’ audition to the stock. This stock would advantageously f consumo the largo quan tity of straw and corn fodder otherwise entirely lost except for immure, nnd thus bring a largo extra item of profit. If to this stock tho corn be fed ns it should be, ibis manure would bo greatly in creased in Tulin-, nnd tlio fertility of the soil proportionality improved. The only objection thnt could bo made to this change would bo that the addition al year given to grass might,allow tho native grasses to multiply to the preju dice ol tho clovyr, nnd that so old a sod might bo unsuitable to tlio growth of who-t. There would bo very muturinl objections should they ho realized in pruetieo. The whole profit, of llio sys tern is based upon the sucross of tlio clo ver, and tliut must bofrtndo socuro nt any rate; amt tho wheat crop on tho clo ver fallow is the chief money crop, und deserves to bo especially regarded. , As to tho effect upop thu cjovyr, we think that a Well Sul sod of clover any timothy would dining two venn*, bo com pletely hold possession of tho ground ns lo exclude entirely nil intruders, aud that tho intcriuodiuto.workings (butwcon these nnd tho next sowing would bo suf ficient to put thu ground in a good state of preparation. As regards tlio wlioilt, nMuming, ns said above, that tho ulovor und timothy will uxe.ludo native grasses which might provo hurtful to it; and be ing well assured th/it tho sod of timothy which would prevail when wo break tho ground for wheat, 1s *very congenial to that oroy, wo apprehend nothing on this score. It is Bind, indeed, to uiuku n preparation for wheat, only inferior to clover, and, in this case, thu good effects of tho clover growing of tho previous year nro added to tlio good qualities or thy timothy sod. Huch u sod.it Inis peon assorted, is especially, udvnntnguous on llmds liable to heaving under the influ ence of frost. Wheat'is said to bo, un der no circumstances, so secure against ‘‘winter-killing.’’ No soil iu tho world is bo uncertain as tliut of tho prairie on account of winter-killing.
