Ono day. having thrown aside all state ceremonial, they determined to sco tho sights of the beautlthl city on tlio Solno, for tlielr own delectation, and for that purposo they determined to go incog., so as not to bo recognized by tlio people. However, in their stroll through Paris, they went; astray, and mectiug a genteel ly looking person, who happened to bo an Irishman, they politely asked him if lie would kindly direct them to tlio Palais Royal »uv :ow lor tins lnarKci. .

A cistern or tank, of from two to four hogsheads, should be constructed in the vicinity of tlio sink or laundry of every farm-house, and a system of conductors so arranged as to lcnd’tho suds and slops in to it as they are made. This liquid matter is a powerful fertili zer, containing the food of plants in a state of solution, and consequently in a eofidi- tion to be readily taken up and absorbed by vegetables as soon ns applied. Irrigating gardens with soapsuds, after the' liquid has become stale, is a powerful uieaus of promoting vegetahio growth, es pecially in dry weather. Some have con sidered tlio value of suds to be equal to that of the same weight of manure; this, however, is probably au exaggerated esti mate, yet we want no additional corrobo ration to satisfy us of its intrinsic worth as a vegetable stimulant. Great care should be observed that the decaying matter and sudsdo.not taint the air about tho dwelling, ns in the process of fermentation and decomposition sulphu retted hydrogen gas is thrown oil’.. This is an active poison. When inhaled, it acts directly upon’the blood, thickening it and turning it black. A single gallon of it, mixed with 1,200 of air, will render it poi sonous to* birds, nnd one gallon in 100 will kill a dog. Many of our peoplo are not sufficiently careful, abdut allowing filch “sinks of iniquity” to exist about their dwellings.—New England Farmer, It is a good sign to sod a man do an act of charity—a bad sign to heat him boast of it.

He used this language : I’ If.I have to subject myself to any ty- rany, I prefer tho tyranny of one limn with some humanity iu him, and occupy ing a responsible position, to that of an irresponsible body llko the Senate,” Tho truth that' Andrew Johnson has been thundering into tho cars of tho peo ple, is, at last, Being confessed by tho Im- peacheB themselves. tho Continent than lit England, nnd was luado a knight of tho Mnsonlo Ordor of Charles tlio Thirteenth.

Till, no,’ said Jennie; ‘it has bco.i very pleasant here, nnd I have enjoyed''rustica ting iflnnenseiy. In fact I prefer tlie coun try to tho city. ’ ‘When do yon go bank to the city?' ‘In two weeks,’ with a little sign. ‘So soon?' exclaimed Jack. ‘Well, the best of friends must part, whether it he for a season or forever. ’ Jennie Lee looked up suddenly; hut Jack wns looking away across the Holds, nnd sho could read nothing in Ills face. •I dislike very much to leave this old farm house. I'liavu been so contented and happy in this quiet retreat, that I really dread going back to tho noise and bustlo of the city.’ ‘Why not stay,’said Jack Ainsly, still looking at tho far oil' hills. ‘Hut no, 'tis bettor that you should go. The subjects nre impatient for tho appearanco of their queen.’ Jennie Lee made no reply, hut sat mak ing a bonnet of sweetbrier. ‘Mr. Ainsly,’ she said after along pause; ‘you do not think I will forget my acquain tances kern?’ ‘The pcopleln the country nro wcllcnougli to visit, nnd the young men’s hearts are ensily ensnared by a rosy check and the practised wiles, of a stranger. ’ . ‘I never forget a friend, aud since I hay been here I havo como to regard you as such; therefore l will remember you.’ Was sho only drawing him on. Jack was undecided whether to make the avowal his heart prompted or keep the secret ill Ids own breast. Filially removing his gaze from tho distant hills, ho ilxed Ids eyes upon her face, and said slowly nnd earn estly: . . - , ‘Jennie Leo, I,have known you only a few months; bittern that timo I nave learn ed to lovo you/as I never thought I could lovo a woman. You say you disllko to go hack to the city. F ask you to stay.— There is a vacant scat at the table and at the hearth, nml an unfilled plnco In my heart.

The days slipped liy and Jennie Leo returned to her home. Letters came regularly for a time; then at long intervals, and finally ceased altogether. Xot long after he rend Jcunio Lee’s marriage in tlie paper. ‘Tho sweetbrier wns omhlenmtie,’ ho said, bitterly; ‘beautiful hut dangerous,’ In a drawert In Jack Ainsly’s private desk is a withered boquet of sweetbrier, His friends often wonfler why lie ridicules the lovo of woman. Sometimes ho sits on tho little porch at tho old farm house—he goes there every summer—and wonders if Jennie Leo over thinks of .that pleasant summer, years ago. Ho is not tlio Jack now that came courting in those days,— Ilis laugh 1ms lost its' merry ring, and there Is no more of tlio old Hash and spirit about him.
