chapter irr.
“Do you intend, Doctor Ht. Clair, to
kooj. Hint, miserable little beggar iu this
lIOHSO ?”
“My promise to her dead mother com
pels mo to provide ior hi r, until some of
her relatives shall claim her, but why
not, my dear wife? The girl is well
behaved and modest. I wish my Rosalie
had as gentle, lady-like maimers.”
“Why not? Ido not want such trash
in my house. She is dreadful society for
my child, besides you will have heron
your bauds for years, for she will never
bo claimed by any relative. For my
part [ Would put her iu the Tuof House.”
The Doctor rose from the breakfast
table, and, nr. lie wui about .to Sc.- -e the
’■ «n>, i ked :
“I have not determined what course |
1 will pursue with the girl, aud as it would
1 I”- most inhuman to east the child .Hit in
• He street iu her stab- of desolate sorrow,
1 intend she .shall remain here. J have
written t. Edward asking Ids advice. As
soon as .1 hear from h hi I will form some
plan for Mums future protection.”
Mrs. St. Clair, for the first time in her
life, felt pleasure that lid ward had been
consult! and. She though!, that., with his
patrician pride, he would be aa much
I opposed to (lie beggar as she was. Ho
| Mona remained iu the stone mansion,
| uud, as weeks passed away, three hearts
ooked anxiously for the arrival of the
letter that would decide her destiny. At
: last it arrived, and its contents so aston
ished the household, they could scarcely
believe that Howard had written it.
“My dear Brother” he wrote, “I was
not surprised to learn that you had pick
ed up a beggar, as I know your fondness
] for such thi.-igs. I admire the kind
promptings of your generous nature.
As my means .'.re greater than yours. I
; think I had better take charge of the
c.aild, so consider me her guardian.
Place her at some respectable school
until she is grown, and then let her
know she must support herself by teach,
ing. Spare no expense for her comfort
and education. Love to all.
Eijward.”
The Doctor felt much relieved for he
knew full well, were she to live at his
house her life would not be happy-
Rosalie was too selfish to live pleasantly
with any girl, aud his wife had determin
ed to make it as unlike home as possible
to the orphan.
The Doctor called upon Madam Dur
ant, the Principal of the largest Board
ing School in New Orleans, and entered
Mona as her pupil. Tlie poor unhappy
girl was cjuite unconscious of the excite
ment she hail caused in the house. Bhe
scarcely ever left her room, and her
meals were brought to her by the house- I
keeper Mam Henry. Tlie old Degress j
became much interested in Mona, and in I
time, loved her with all of a darkey’s
affectionate nature.
One pleasant evening Mona sat at her
little attic window pensive and heart-sick.
She heeded not the beauty of the grounds,
the scent of the fragrant flowers, nor the
soft splash of the waiter as it, fell from the j
fountain into the marble basin. Her |
thoughts lmd flown from tliat princely !
home to an obscure spot in the city
cemetry, her mother’s grave. Mona’s j
heart ached as sadly then as it did on
the night she was left motherless, hold,
ing out her arms as though she would
clasp the dead one to her bosom. She
cried bitterly “mother, come back ! Oh,
come back!” Alas ! bow often cojpea
wafted that fruitless cry to the eclioless |
shore ! “mother, come back.”
The doo*r gently opeued, and the house, i
keeper entered bearing in her hand a i

small waiter containing Mona’s supper.
She glanced at the motionless form by
the window, and tried to attract the girl’s
attention but iu vain. So putting down
the waiter, Mam Henry walked hi Mona’s
side, and laid her hand on the bowed
bead, saying : -
“Missy, come an 1 eat a littte bit of
supper mammy has fixed for you, and
honey, don’t look so sad, trust in the
Lord. He knows what is best. Come,
eat a little, Miss, and Mammy will tel'
you all die news.”
With a sigh the girl drew a chair to
the table while the old woman buttered
her toast, all time talking incessantly.
“Well, Honey, you know the missus—
Master Robert’s wife is mighty strange
in her notions, and to your
being 'hen', -so Master Hubert wrote to
my young master in E ipi#) and Mister
Edward sent word lie wirfiTd take can
of yon, and you are gomg to a boarding
school to-morrow.”
“Oh, mummy !” said Mona, “I feel so
like a burden upon every body. Tbo
Doctor was so kind, I did not mind his
givingme anything, but an utterstranger!
1 cannot accept such kindness from an
other, whom I do not know.”
“Miss Mona,” said the- housekeeper,
"Master Edward is the flower of the flock.
I will go and get his piotnre, and you will
see wlmt a kind face he has.” She soon
returned with a miniature, and placed it
in Mona’s hand. As soon as she saw the
face she recognized it, aaid felt that the
stranger, who had found'her sleeping on
the stone stepa, and Edward St. Clair,
wore one and the same person.
“Ob, Mammy I” cried Mona, “I would
rather have Mr. ’-.'d war j, tor my guardian
than any one else.”
“Notexcepting the Doctor, little Miss?”
“No, not excepting the dear good
Doctor,” replied Mona.
Early the next morning Mona left for
her school, where we will leave her for
tin- space of a few years among congen
ial companions aud kind friends.
Spring time has come, sweet spring
time, with its balmy luv-exes, its buds
and (lowers. The air is su pure, hesun
shine so mvTow, the leaver on the tree’s
. bine in their exquisite green, as the
lender light comes slanting-through them,
and the greun carpet, of earth is covered
with “buttercups and blue forg:J-me
uots.”
Truly a great poet has sa l, “Who can
paint- Wore beautifully than nature.”
Four changing years have passed
since our herrimt 1 I* . iindnte of--
licit large, hand •ms; building, with long
piazzas, broad stone steps, ton rounded
a i'.lj exquisite grounds. Wti A; we last
saw her she was slight and small, but
•ow she is no longer smnll. The frail
girl has become a grao.ef.il, lovely wotnau.
B -bold her, -s she stands on the steps,
surrounded by eager talking school girls.
Surely that refined, queenly beauty is not
the beggar who, four years ago, sold
oranges in the streets. Her face and
head are as grand as any picture painted
by a master band. The sunshine us it
lingers on the masses of. glittering, rip
ling luiir, almost seemed to forma halo
of light around the exquisitely pale and
perfectly chisscli-d face. A merry smile
trembled around the- crimson month, and
the great glowing, purple eyes, full of
thought, humor and life, can melt your
heart at times with their loving tender
ness. She is of m-'uimn height, with
line sloping shoulders and a yielding
waist.
“Queen Mona,” said a pretty girl, with
laughing, black eyes, and long curls,
“can you realize that to-night we arc to
leave these scholastic walls, Madam Peg
and Dad Prim !”
“Thoughtless us ever, Maud,” and Mona
placed her arms aroxnd the slender form
of her friend and said ;
“How can you speak so disrespectfully
of our kind Preceptress and the dear ol t ]
Professor ?”
“Hush, lady mine,” cried Aland, “do
not commence your preaching. Without
meaning any disrespect to my teachers I
am wild with joy uC the idea of return
ing home.”
“How can you help it-, Maud, when
life has so much iu store for you, wealth,
beauty and love. You are indeed blessed.”
Ah she said this a gad smile parted
Mona's lips.
“But life will have joys for you, Mona
Do not look so blue, I would not like it
much myself being night and day in the
; same, bouse with Rosa St. Clair, but,
; Mona, with your great beauty, you will
! some day win both wealth aud love.
Perhaps Edward St. Clair himself.”
Maud ceased abruptly, taken rather
aback by the quick flash she saw in the 1
eyes of her friend. She sprang into the l
bouse, laughing merrily.
“Do not heed Sister, Mona,” saida:
fair, lady-like looking girl. Maud is so !
wild, but I firmly believe, at heart she !
loves you dearly, and, deal-Mona, I wanted
to ask you after you become domesticat- ;
ed at Dr. St. Clair’s house, not to neg- j
iect your school friends. We, I assure I
you, will not neglect you. Mona, you
have not- a truer friend than Clara Mort-.
land.”
As the day passed, one by one, th e
school girls left for their homes, aud
about dark Mona sat with a beating heart
waiting for the carriage to call for her
trunk.
For four years she had never been inside
of the Doctor’s house. Mrs. St. Clair
she had not seen. Miss Annahadcalledto
see her several times. Once she met
Rosa on the street walking with a young
gentleman. Mona heard him remark,
“Who is that lovely girl you bowed to ?”
“Only a beggar papa picked np, and
I is having educated.”
-“A beggar, she looks more like a
queen.”
! A carriage for Miss Egbert, and Mona
I went down the front steps aud shook
i bands with Cato, the driver who stood
smiling and bowing before her.
“Glad to see you, Miss. Master could
not leave a very sick patient, and Miss
Anna sprained her foot so badly that she
j could not call fo>- you. She wjJL receive,
j you at the house.”
Mona seated herself hi thh carriage,
and in a few minutes reached the. Doctor’s
house. To her surprise she was met at
the door by Miss Anna leaning on a
1 cane.
Miss Anna kissed our heroine affection
ately, aud told her that more than one
j person welcomed her presence in the 1
house. She led Mona by the hand iuto j
the sitting-room, where Mrs. Bt. Clair ■
was busily engaged i>-. sewing, and Rosa, j
lie reclined on a sofa reading a novel.
“Mona Egbert has arrived, Jane,” said ■
Miss Anna.
Mrs. St-. Clair looked up into the fair j
fare with surprise. She was not aware i
that the girl had grown so lovely, and j
extending her hand she told Mona, with j
cold politeness that she was welcome. J
Rosalie gave a careless nod and continu- ;
ed reading.
[ Miss Anna led Mona to tlie room she j
was to occupy, and told her that, she had
I selected the furniture, and arranged it
! with her own bands. Mona was so over- !
come by this thoughtful kindness that, j
J with moist eyes, she caught Miss Anna’s j
j hand and pressed it to her bosom, ex
; claiming :
“Thank God ! someone cares a little
| for the motherless girl. Dear Lady 1 I;
will never forget your kindness.”
; “X do not want you to forget it, Mona,”
said Miss Anna, “for I wish you to
: regard me as your friend. Iu the mean 1
time try and be happy. Your duties '
| h ill not, bo very arduous. My brother
; has decided that two music scholars will

chat, iff*HiCUnathri?. Mona, yon look very
faint. Arc you' sick ?”
Mona did indeed look deathly pale, '
aiid her hands tore from her neck a small
chain as though it, oppressed her.
“A passing pang,” her quivering lips
murmured. “I assure you it is nothing
; else. lam subject to these attacks. It, !
j will soon pass away.”
“Why, my child, I fear you are suffer
ing. Your face is fearfully drawn, aud !
| your lips are of an ashen hue.”
“A glass of water and a little fresh air j
; will fully restore me,” replied Mona.
“Thank you,” she said, as Miss Anna
j opened a window. “lam much better.
J Will you be kind enough to repeat what
you were t< llhig me when my sudden -
i attack iuterrputed you ?”
“Certainly my dear,” replied Miss
Anna. “Your future pupil, M ss Norland,
although a young lady in society, has
| decided to take music lessons. Mr. De
lano is a very rich man and a generous
j one. You will be handsomely remuner
ated for your services. Helen Norland
jis reputed to possess an overbearing
disposition, but l trust yon may find it
' otherwise. You are to begin your
; !c. sous to-morrow. My brother tried to
| obtain a short x-espite for you, but Miss
Norland would not grant a single day.”
After Miss St. Clair left the room the
pent-up emotion in Mona’s bosom burst !
forth, and she vvopt bitterly.
“Mother !” she said, “be with your i
child in this coming trial. Oh, God ! j
nerve my heart that I may avenge the !
dead, and complete her unfinished task.” j
By and by whan her anguish had spent I
its force, she walked to the mirror and
gazed long and silently into it.
“Dear mother, ho said that neither
you nor yonr child would adorn the
society he moved in. Ah! I will humble \
bis proud heart yet.”
The next morning Mona dressed her
self in a simple muslin, and immediately j
after breakfast started for the homes of j
her two pupils. Bho went first to the i
house of Mr. Hasting, and soon found ;
herself passing through a beautiful
garden in front of a neat cottage. A
young girl seated among the flowers j
raised her head on hearing Mona’s foot- ;
steps, and ran towards her eagerly say
ing :
“.l know you are my music teacher, i
Miss Egbert. lam giad you have come j
so Roon, for mother will have time to
hear you play before she goes out shop
ping.” As they entered thedrawingroom,
a delicate looking lady pressed Mona's !
hand, and by her affable manners made j
her feel perfectly easy and happy. Mona
had never seen a more lovely room, i
Flowers were arranged with the most !
artistic taste in every nook and corner of i
the apartment, and singing birds in
beautiful cages, filled the air with melo
dy, and what greatly added to Mona’s
pleasure was the good nature of her
pupil, and the politeness of her hostess.
no. is.
i The hour devoted to music passed
| most quickly away, and it was almost
with a sigh Mona left that, delightful
I home, for a house she felt would be any
; thing but pleasant to her.
She reached Mr. Delano’s elegant
| mansion, and almost a.-, soon as she
! touched the bell, a pompous looking
: butler opened the door, and ushered her
| into a spacious and elegantly furnished
drawingroom. After a little time' she

j ladies entered, a handsome, dark browed
| woman and a thin, petulant looking girl.
| “I am Miss Delano, and this young
lady, Miss Norland, is your pupil,” said
| the dark browed lady. Mona gently

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN,
A vast number of people overlook the
importance of a vegetable garden. Pro
i parly managed it is a source oi more
I e 'onoray and valuo than two or three
| times its siza devoted to any other pro
d iction We will endeavor to make good
| this assertion.
' The locality and soil are the first con- ;
i sideratious. The soil should he of good !
quality and dry, and exempt fr m joint
and nut grass. Infested v.-jth these, the
value of the products will but little ex- j
ceed tlie cost of labor and seed. If pos
sible, the ground should have a quite j
inclination to the east or southeast, or as
the next best to the south or southwest,
so as to get the rays of the morning sun, j
or the evening, besides its raya*through- :
out the day. The inclination should be
merely sufficient to carry oil' the water I
after excessive rains without taking the
soil with it. Garden spots should be !
day. Excessive moisture is injurious to 1
nearly all vegetables.
But after all the selection of the place
will be indicated by the situation of the j
dwelling and convenience of access.
By all means all fruit or other trees j
should lie kept from the beds, and avo'il, |
if possible, a situation where contiguous
groves or trees will shade the gronnd
from the morning and evening sun-rays. ;
Indeed, the snu, from its rising tosottiug '
uid throughont the whole day, should :
give its unobstructed light and warmth
to every part, of the garden.
I‘ or most vegetables the ground can- |
not be made too rich. Well decomposed
barnvnrd ands able inannro are the best ;
forprdgetables, lint, if there should-ho a ■
de.ieieney of that, Pemifun or any other
pure and good guano and ground bom-e
may be advantageously added. Two tons j
of manure to two and a half will answer
for one eighth of an acre. Os coarse j
this has reference to the barnyard man- i
ure. If guanos are added one hundred :
to one hundred and fifty pounds will
answer for a plot of that size. Propor
tionate quantities of both kinds of fn-til
izers should be used on larger space;;, i
The main dependence should be the j
product of the barnyard and stables. If ,
the gardener cannot procure from 10 to
18 tons for an acre, lot him put half the j
; quantity on half an acre, and it will yield
him more than a whole cere with only
the same quantity. We now suggesting !
the proper management of a real, rich,
: luxuriant, and highly productive garden, j
The most suitable time for the appli- i
I cat h u of the manure is late in the fall. 1
| Apply broadcast and plough in. Never
use a turning plow in a garden. The ■
| best is the subsoil, but, if the gardener ;
| has not such a plow let him use other
; long, narrow and sharp pointed plows. '
j The ground must be loosened well to !
the depth of at least fifteen inches ; j
j eighteen would be better. One good I
j plowing will do to mix the manure with !
j the soil. Os course there will be addi- j
tioual plowing in laying off the, rows for I
depositing the seed. Ridge to the rows l
and level with scraper or hoe. Most seed '
should be planted shallow, and never j
upon a ridge. A little experience will ■
show how to proceed, If Ihe manuring j
cannot be done in November let it he 1
done in December, January or February. !
Such heavy manuring in March and j
especially in April will be injurious, !
particularly, in eases of long dry weath- !
or. The object is to have the manure
and soil so intimately amalgamated that
the nitrogenous and the other gaseous 1
properties of the fertilizers will he thoro- j
uglily incorporated in the soil. The I
ground may he said then to be ripe and j
ready for the seed.
We will nmv suppose that th» time has
come to deposite the seed in the ground,
and that you begin the last of December
or first of January to plant Irish potatoes,
sow peas, (the early kinds), lettuce, a
few beet, carrot, parsley, collards, and
spinach and spring turnip seeds, and to
set out onion sets, shallots, &c. Perhaps
some of these will be killed cy the frosts,
bu you will have others, •planted a week
or ten days later, coming on. With
what result? In a few weeks you will
have an ample supply of delicious veget
ables, with peas by the first, and fresh
new Irish potatoes, by the middle of
April. Some beans may be risked by
the Ist of March, and a few others plant

Now, unfortunately, thousands stop at
this £mnt —use the products of what they
have sown and planted, and when they
are exhausted, have only very meager
supplies. By a judicious succession of
sowings snd plantings, they can have
fresh vegetables of nearly every kind
known to the catalogues in June, July
and August, and in the fall, (beginning
to sow and plant the last of July and in
August), they can have in bountiful pro
fusion every vegetable they eujoyed in
the spring and early summer. Early
OiH'ii can be planted in every month from
March to the 20th of September. Cal>-
bage plants ean be set out in June, Irish
potatoes planted from January to the 10
of July, furnishing successive crops un
til frost Snapbeans do well from April
to the 15tli of September. English peas
can be sowed the middle of August, and
furnish bountiful supplies until frost.
Cabbage set out in Angnst, will be ready
for uae before frost, and will supply the
table throughout the winter, as the cold,
hi our climate, seldom injures them. By
fall sowings the table throughout the
winter, ean he supplied with turnips,
beets, carrots, parsnips, onious lettuce,
; celery, leeks, shallots, eolhirds aud
i cabbages. How almost universally fall
and winter gardening are neglected.
How few sow cabbage seed in November,
to head in February or March. The
bed could be easily protected with a few
boards. The plants set out in January,,
will he ready for usa in March and April.
Parsnips, onions, leeks and shallots
j sowed in October, will be ready for use
in February, March and April, aud need
no protection nt all. Bet them stand in
their places in the garden, and no cold
or wind will injure them,
We throw out these general hint* with
out having time or space to specify parti
cular methods of culture.
Tims it will be seen that, with industry
and care, our tables may be covered with
the choicest vegetables from the garden
throughout the entire year. It has been
often said that a garden is equal iu
value to a smoke-house, and we may
amend by saying that it is worth far
more than the smoke-houses of many
people who rely upon cotton to get meat
and on whose places the squeal of a pig
is never heard. ,■
With them the term “smoke-house'' is
■i misnomer. AVe can have more lu pa
for our .'lection, when the old . fashioned
smoke-houses are r-i-estabiished. \
better sign of improvement cofihl not be
given than to see the "fnoke-iSsßing from
the small augur h houses a’l over
the country, that were once justly entitl
ed to the prefix ‘ smoke.”
Wo have not called to our aid the
: advantage of cold framed; cold pits, hot
pits, hot-bed frames, &e. All the above
; can be done without their use, using
only an open hot-bed for enrlv cabbage,
and one or two other plants. Xheßo
vegetables save meat and bread, and, if
their daily use wore estimated in money
it would fully establish the correctness
j of the value placed upon a good garden

Pasha of Egypt is described as a person
of culture, speaking French with ease
I and English a little; fully educated in
; Polytechnic School in Paris, and wear
i ing the dress of Christian peop e. He is
! a shrewd and rich merchant, and not a
soldier by propensity; and his Income,
i and the luxury of his court exceed the
l ales of Haroun al Raschid’s splendor.
Me has an income of $110,000,000 per
1 annum, or more than half as much as the
; whole ’annual expense of the United
! States government, including the cost of
the pnblfc debt.
To keep our 00,000 office holders, our
I army, our navy, do the public building,
i etc-., requires $17,000,000 a month. The
j Pasha, who has no more subjects than
there are citizens of New York State,
I i>ss between $9,000,000 aud $10,000,000
a mouth, or above $300,000 a day. He
has twenty-seven paleces, all the corpor
ate property or that which with us
would he controlled by corporations—-in
the country, and no laws whateve vxeept
what he can think-rtf or will from day to
day He is temperate and prudent, and
yet lie is not happy, lie wants to be a
king, but the domination of Turkey sits
upon his dreams like the gobbler ou the
full hoy after a Christmas dinner.

The smallest post-office in the world is
kept iu a barrel, which swiugs from tlio
outermost rock of the mountains, over
hanging the Straits of Magellan, opposite
Terra del Fuego, Every passing ship
opens it to place letters iu or take them
out. Every ship undertakes to forward
all letters iu it, that it is possible for
them to transmit. How many homes
have been made bright by messages left
in the barrel post-office! It hangs there
by its iron chain, beaten aud battered by
the winds and storms, but no locked
and barred office on land is more secur-*.
It is not in the track or reach of mail
robbers.
