T Sw • Harrington thought, as
tenderly stooping
tuwaiis%' /tu. stiil more softly, ‘Migno
notie.’ \ e iS:
He wd'nld not h»ake spoken so to one who
would quite have understood him. Bitifcshe,
who had no love not to be gathered at the
humble school ot Sheep<iaie, had never
heard that mignonette means ‘little dariing.’
It was no new thing for Will to speak softly
when he spoke to her, either. So she look
ed up, not surprised or startled, Pei hups
her ear had cangut his footstep, and she
said. ‘Yes, Mr. Harrington, I love migno
nette. Grandma always says it is foolish
of me to put it in my hair. But I cannot
help it. I’ve had the iiabit, always; that
and roses I pine for, somehow, in their sea
son, Do you think it. foolish ?’
‘No, said' Will. ’Foolish, indeed ! the
prettiest custom in the world. Girls should
always wear flowers in their hair.’
‘l’m glad some one else is silly beside,
me,* said Miselle, with a laugh.
She was not perfectly sure of her gram
mar—no one was at Sheepdale; but* she
was not vulgar, and just then Will was in
clined to forget everything but that she was
pretty. He was himself a fashionable-gen
tleman. Until the summer he bad never
fancied that his heart could be won by any
girl who had not style and family, and a
thorough acquaintance with *ll the require
ments of good society. But here, in this
long summer time of rest and quiet, he
had fallen in love with a plain country girl,
humble even amidst simple people in her
position—for she was poor, and the gi’an
child of two old people who could leave her
nothing. This was the end o his resolve
to escape for once fiom the routine of the
fashionable watering-places, and ruralize at
a farm house.
To think of it seriously gave him much
the same feeling that a bather experiencees
on his first plunge into cold water. Jast at
that moment, howovei, fie did no* end»*avoi
to think; he acted on impulse. No other
living thing was in the garden save them
selves and a great golden bee, hovering and
humming above the flowers.
And Miselle’s face was so beautiful, and
her hair so velvet black, and her eyes like
velvet also, only set with diamonds, and the
fragrance of the mignonete, and the country
music that filled the air, chirrup of insect,
and song of bird, and faintly tinkling sheep
bell, all santified the scone. Impediments
which seemed serious when pondeiing ovei
i» he solitude of his own room, were myths
to him in that hour. They were not w ° nb
a thought.
And so Will Harrington drew Miselle to
wards him, and looked down into her eyes
and said, ‘Miselle, be my mignonette, and
lot mo wear you in my # heart forever.

GIFTS qthey parted, he put an ‘engagement
iief finger, and promised to come
lor> er 'at the end of autumn.
Th‘*y were to correspond, of course, and
that was a pleasant thing to Miselle. And
he left her with moist eyes, aud carried a
little bunch of mignonette next If is heart.
The holidays were ended, and ‘people
were all back in town again,’ as the phrase
goes;and Will Harrington found everything
as of yore. There was an old flirtation,
too, wihcb could not well be ended while the
lady was so willing that it should turn into
something more, between Miss Beaumont,
the heiress, and himself. Aud at first, Will
did not mention Miselle to his friends, be
cause there was time enough; aud at last,
because it was an awkward business, being
put off so long. And Miselle wrote too many
letters, ami put them into coarse envelopes,
aud was not careful of her grammar. And
she spoke lar too much of grandpa
rents who were Will’s abomination. And
amidst balls and suppers and dinner par
ties, Miss Beaumont re-asserted her suprem
acy; until reproaches for neglected answers
came from Miselle and vexed her lover.
Still he smoothed this over, and would
perhaps have gone down to Sheepdale to
keep his troth had not Miselle written him
in the fulness of her reconciliation, a loving
letter, in which she spoke of the trials of
her grandparents and of her joy in looking
forward to the time when she should have a
home to which to welcome them. Those
old people, hard aud coarse and ignorant,
whom he abhorred so—wlioin he intended
to cut completely when he married Miseliel
Will never answered that letter. He burnt
it with a savage oath, and that night pro
posed to M ss Beaumont.
*ln a mouth they were married, and there
was a wedding at St. George’s; and dia
monds and lace, and presents of gold and
silver, and a tour, to end all with, and the
two were one.
Before his honeymoon was over, Will
discovered that he had never loved his wife,
and that he adoied Miselle.
A woman might carry a secret to her
grave with her. A mao could not hide it
a week. The bride, who had been a belle,
and was not to bear insult calmly, eiscover
ed it An the briefest, space of time. She had
intended to be a true and tender wife, but
she now took revenge in kind; to make
her husband jealous was the task of her
wretched life, flirted as she had never done
in her girlish days. And as there is no dan
ger of going too far wilh one who cannot
be angling fora husband, a married woman
can flirt when she pleases.
Will cared nothing for his wife, but he
was proud, and grew angry. He watched
her wild, jealous eyes; and the unhappy
match ended in a quarrel, fierce and wild,
in terrible recusations on both sides, and in
a seperation.
And the world made worse of the affair
than it really was—and Will knew that he
was the subjected much cruel talk, and
shrank a w{ ty from vis gaze more asharped
of that which this darling heiress-wife of
his had brought upon him, than he ever
could havo been of Miselle’s poor
or of anything she could Rave brougb upon
him.
He lived alone, and his wife led a gay
life, apart from him, and was not too well
spoken of; aud in bis solitude the poor man

er went down to Sheepdale.
It was early summer. The day was like
the one on which be had told his love to
Miselle. A golden bee'or two (one might
'have been the very same,) fluttered around
the quite garden again. The seat where
she sat at work was there beneath*the vine;
and there too were the perfumed borders of
mignonette. The house was still, and ull
the windows were closed. It was often so
of a summer afternoon. The man to whom
this brought back those happy days so
nearly, sat down to wait, and think what
he should say to Miselle. Perhaps she did
not know he had been married. If so, why
tell her ? Let the world he had thought so
mush of keep bis unhappy secret. He would
stay here in sweet solitude with Miselle
She would be proud at first—either cold
or angry—but he would woo so humbly
that she should forgive him in the end. As
one condemned to death might pray For
mercy, he would beseech Miselle for pity
and pardon. And then—yes, then she
would let him draw her to his heart, aud
touch her brow with his lips, and call her
his Mignonette, his little darling, once again.
And he had come to this thought, when
the door opened, and he arose to greet
Miselle
But it was not Miselle —.only her old
grand mother—hard,and common of feature
as ever, but with a strong grief-stricken
face. She did not see him, but went straight
to the beds of mignonette, and began to
pluck great handfnlls with her homey
hands. Then Will spoke to her. She looked
up. ,
‘•JVn picking “them for Missile,” she said,
then gave a start. .“I didn’t know you at
first, Mr. Harrington,” she said. “I thought
’(.was the doctor. You’re aged. Yes these
is for Miselle. I used to be hard on her for
liking them I’m afraid. B.ut I wanted her
to be steady, If I’d kuowed— ’
Then came a sob. William Harrington
caught the old woman’s arm tight.
•‘What is it? What has happened? he
cried.
And she commenced, with dry sobs and
no tears, as old people sometimes show sor
row;
**l thought you knew Miselle was dead.
You See, she faded when your letters stop
ped coming. She wouldn’t tell me, I sup
posed you quarrelled. She got tired'of
things, and tat a deal by herself. Plenty
wanted her —She was pretty. But she died *
seem to care. Six months ago she was took
down. There was no hope then, and yester
day she died.. Says she, “Grannie it’s most
over' ; when Pm gone, put his letters in the
grave with me, and put mignonette in my
hair —mignonette says she, kind o’ dreamy
like; he liked it; And tell him, says she,—
fur I think he’ll Come—that I always loved
him. I wouldn’t say so now, says she, “but
I’ll be gone theu.” And so she died. Young
folks will fall out I never kuowed the right
on it. P’raps you’d like to see her.”
And William Harrington followed her,
and saw Miselle dead, with his letteis upon
her bosom and mignonette amidst her hair.
Him the world never saw again. Until the
old people died, ht saw that they wanted
nothing, and while he lived dwell near
Miselle * grave. Near it, also, his own has
grown green for many years; and ovei >o( .
creep soft beds of mignonette in the summer
time, luring the golden bees from the gar
dens wilh its fragrance. And bbeepdale
was a legend that in the moonlight two
white forms are sometimes seen there, and
they wear the semblance of Micelle and the
lover who broKe her heart.
A young man in New Haven, on Monday,
rushed into a drug store, and in great alarm
asked the clerk if oeuzine was poisonous.
‘No,’said the clerk; ‘why?’ ‘Because, said
the fellow, ‘father went to the closet to taka
dow the gin bottle, and by mistake took
several swallows before he knew it,
‘He is all right,’ replied the clerk; Mhe

From the Southern Cultivator.
lauproviug Laud with Peaa.
Sparta, G* , April 4th 1868.
You wish my experience in growing peas,
aud turning them under whilst green. The
benefits of growing green crops, are and bu
rying them in the soil for the benefit of fu*
tnre crops, are too well understood to be
questioned by any one; but. it has opened a
question rn agricultural economy that has
not been settled so satisfactorily. The Eng*
lish farmers formerly used a half ton of
ground bones per acre, to grow a single
crop, but they have found by dissolving two
hundred pounds of bones iu acid, at a cost
of fifty per cent on the price of the bones,
(making the whole cost equal to that of
three hundred lbs. of bones,} that it will
produce the same effect at an outlay of only
thirty per cent on that of the former mode
—the latter method giving them the means
of returning the same amount of manure to
the land the next as the former did,
by producing the same amount, of hay, tur
nips and other forage to feed slock
Now, admitting that it will pay to grow
peas and clover, to be turned under as fer**
tilijera, the following questions arise; At
what time should they be turned under,
insure the greatest benefit? Would it pay
better to feed them off the laud than to
cover them with a plow and what do they
lose by drying before turned under? Here
again, the question of soluble* and iusoluble
manures is involved 1 have always taken
the side of soluble manures as being the
most economical. Dry peaviues and clover
will soon become soluble.
I will give you my practice. It is oue
that will pay, although I will not say that
it is the best. First keep your land in good
heart; let the field that you intend to sow
peas on remain fallow, until you lay by
your com—say from the first to twentieth
of July. You will tlieu have a large growth
of green weeds to turn under. Start your
teams with good turn plqws, running off
the lands as nearly level as you can, and
go round and round until that laud or cut
is finished. Start the pea dropper after
eveiy third plow, aud the hand with the
manure after the pea dropper. Drop the
manure withiu four inches ui the peas. If
you find the peas will make from 7 to 15
bushels per acre, turn stock in upon them,
placing salt in places over the field, to cauae
the most of the manure to be dropped on
the field. Then invest all the profit arising
from feeding stock on the field, in bones
aud Peruvian guano for the next crop, and
you will find this'system will pay. I have
adopted it with both wheat and cotton, with
good success. If the peasfail tolruit, trun
them under whilst green.
Second I lan— Plant peas the first of April,
same as above; turn under before the stems
become very woody, and plant and manure
a second crop at the same time that you
are turning under the first crop of vines,
aud treat the second crop as you did the
first. The true policy is to secure the great
est amount of soluble vegetable mold you
can accumulate least cost.
Very truly yours.
* DAVID DICKSON.
N. B—l prefer peas planted aud cultiva
ted on a level, both for the land and crop,
and fora sowing small grain after the pea
crop.
A Dutch Judge.— A friend gives us an
amusing idea ot ‘a Dutch Judge’ in the fol
lowing sketch. He was about to sentence
a prisouer, and on looking around for trim
found him playing chequers with his cus
todian while the foreman of ;he jury was
fast asleep. Replenishing the ample judi
cial chair with his broadcast person, he thus
addressed the jury:
‘Misder voreman and t’oder jurymans:
Der brisoner, Hans Vleckter, is vinimed
his game mit der sheriff, and has peat him,
but I shall duke g&re lie don’t peat me.
Hans has peen dried for ti uider pefore you,
and you must pritig in der verdick, but it
must pe ‘cordin’ to der law. De man he
kill’t was n’t kilPt at all, as is was Proved
he is in der jail at Morrisdowu for sheop

‘Put dat ish no majlder. Der law says
ven dere ish a tou’t you give ‘era to der
Prisoner; put here, dere ish no tou t—so yuu
see der Prisoner ish guilty. Pesides, he is
a grot loafer,. I has kn .wVt him vifty year,

voremans, dal he petter pe hung npxt fotirt'
of July, as der militia ish goin* to drain in
auodcr gounty, apd dere would pe no vuu
goin’ on here.’
It should be added, to the credit of the
jury, that in spite of this ‘learned and im»
partial charge,’ they acquitted the‘Prison
er,’finding him ‘Not guilty, if be would
leave the State.’
