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.

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 I of and iselle, whom he hud tight how pure she would iLtrue to him, and how he until his life knew oue to be quite / ' r Jny eyes long libs. ThJ/fshou 1 cfdi>al she chose.— I Single L* which he would not ,f chiaP The old people might J and at her board so that f • and beards h*>u’d be Yisonis. And in holiday attire the widow 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.

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.
