Byington, —ho was so well known throughout the State for keeping a good Hotel. feblß,ißß9 MARSHALL HOUSE, A. R. LCCE, Propri'elef, THE AYAY TO KEEP HIM. “Out again to night f” said Mm. llaye fretfully, an her husband rose from the tea table and donned hie great coat. “Yea; I have an engagement with Moore; ahall be in early; have a light iu the library, good-by.” And with a cureless and William Hayea left the room. “Always the way,” murmured Liz zie Hayes, sinking back upon a sofa. “Out every night I don’t believe he cares one bit about me now, and yet we have been married only two years. I No man can have a more orderly house, and I never go anywhere. 1 1 am not a bit extravagant, and y»t 11 don’t believe be loves ine any more.—- O dear ! why is it ? I wasn’t rich he didn’t marry me for my mooey, and he must have loved me then. Why does he treat me with so much neglect And with her mind filled with auch frightful queries, Lizzie Hayea fell asleep on the sofa. Let me paint her picture as she lay there. She was a blonde, with a email graceful figure; and a very pretty face. The hair, which ahowed by its rich waves it 6 natural tendency to curl, was brushed smoothly back and gathered into a rich knot at the back. “It was such a bother to eurl it,” aha said ; her choeka were pale, and the whole face wore a discontented ex pression. Her dress was a neat ohinta wrapper, but she wore neither collar nor cuffs. “What’a the use of dress ing just for William Lizz'e alapt soundly for two hours, aud then awoke suddenly She sat up, glanced at the clock, and sighed drearily at the prospects of the long interval still to be spent before bed time. The library was just over the room in which she sat, and down the fur nace flue, through the register, a voice came to the young wife’s ears; it was her husband's. “Well, Moore, what’s a man to do f I was disappointed, and I must have pleasure somewhere. Who would have Yaneied that Lizzie Jarvis, so pretty, uprightly and Living, could change to the fretful dowdy she is now ! Who wants to stay at home to bear bis wife whining all the evening about her servants and her headache and all sorts of bothers ? Shea got the knack of that drawling whine so pat—*p' n my life, I don’t believe she can S| oak pleasantly.” Lizzie sat ns if stunned. Was this true ? She looked in the glass. If not exactly dowdy, her ooetumo »•«« cor teirly not suitable for an evening, with only Wiliiain to admire. She rose ami soltly went to her room with bit ter, sorrowiul thoughts, and a firm r* s oiution to win back her husband’s heart, and then, his love regained, to keep it. The rioxt morning William came into the breakfast room, with bis usual careless manner, but a bright smile came on his lips as ne saw Lizzie. A pretty chintz with neat collar and cuffs of snowy linen, w ith a wealth of soft, full curls, had really metamorphosed her; while the biush her husband’s ad miring glance called up to her cheek did not detract from bar beauty. At first William thought there must be a guest; but glancing around, he found they were alone. “Come, William, your coffee will he soon cold,” said Lizzie in a cbeerlul, pleasant voice. “ft must cool till you sweeten my breakfast with u kiss,” said her hua baud, crossing the room to her side, and Lizzie’s heart bounded, as she recognized the old lover’s tone and_ manners. Not one fret Jul speech, not one com plaint fell upon William’s ear through the meal. The newspaper, the usual solace at that hour, lay untouched, as Lizzie chatted gayly on every pleasant subject she could think of, warming by his grateful interest and cordial manner. 1 You will be borne to dinner ?” she said, as he went out. “Oau’t, to-day, Lizzie; I have busi ness out of town ; but I’ll be home ear ly to tea. Have s metbing substan tial, for 1 don’t expect to dme. Good by,’’ and the smiling look, warm kiss, and lively whistle were a marked con tract to his lounging careless gait the previous eveniug. o] „ m iu me rignt path,” said Liz zie in a low whisper. “Oh ! wbat a fool I have been for two years! A fretful dowdy! William you shall never say that again ” Lizzie loved her husband with areal wifely devotion, and her lips would quiver as she thought of his conSdeoce to his friend more ; but like a brave little woman, she stifled back the bit ter feelings, and tripped off to perfect her plans The grand piano, silent for months, wan open*! and die Imen coveis taken from the fjrniture, LizZio thinking— “He shan’t find any parlor more at tractive than his own, lam deter mined. Tea-time came, and William came with it. A little &g»re, in » tasty bright silk dress, smooth curls, and oh? such a lovely blush and smile, sto >d ready to welcome Willhtm as he came in ; aud tea-time pass )d as the morn iflg meal had done. After tea, there was no movement as usual, toward the hat-ruck. William stood up be side the table, lingering, chatting, till Lizzie also rose. B>he led him to light warm parlors iff their pretty glow of tastelui arrangement aud drew him down beside her on the sofa. He foil as if be was courting again, aa be watched her fingers busy with some little Deedls work and listened to the cheerful voice he had loved so dearly Itwo years before. “What are you making Lizzie?” “A pair ol slippers. Don’t you re member how much you admired the pair I worked for you, oh 1 ever so long ago?” j **l remember black velvet with How era on them. I uaed to put my leet on tha fenders and dream of blue eyes | and bright curia, and wished time would move faster, to the day when I eould bring my bonnie wee wife borne to make music at my house. Lizzie’s face saddened for a moment as she thought of the Inst two years, and how little music ahe had made lor hia loving heart, gradually weaning it irom its allegiance. Then she Said: “I wonder ifyou love music as much as you did then ?*' “Os course 1 do. I often drop in at Mrs. Smith’s for nothing else than to bear the music.” “I can play and sing better thaD Mias Bmitb,” said Lizzie, half pouting. “But you always say you are out of practice, when I ask you.” “I had the piano tuned this morning. Now open it and we will see how it sounds.” William obeyed joyfully, and tossing aside her sewing, Lizzie took the piano stool. She baa a very sweet voice, not powei ful, but most musical, and was a fair performer on the piauo. “Ballads, Lizzie!” “Oh I yes, I know you dislike opera music in a parlor.” One song after soother, with a noc turne or lively instrumental piece occa sionally between them, filled up anoth er hoar p’essantly. The little mantle clook struck eleven. “Eleven 1 I thought it was about ntne- I ought to apologize, Lizzie, as 1 used to do, for staying so long; and I aan truly say as I did then that time has pasted so pleasantly I can scarcity believe it is so lste.” The pisno'wse closed, L’zzie's woik put in the basket, and William was ready to go up stairs; but glancing back be saw his little wife near the fiie place her hands clasped, her head bent, and large tears falling from her eyes. Ho was h: Mo her in an insian’. “Lizzie, darling are you ill ? What is the matter ?” “O William, I have been snoh a bad wife! I heard you tell Mr, Moore last evening how I had disappointed yon; but I will try to make your home pleas ed, indeed I will, if you will forgive and ioveme.” “Love you ?” O Lizzie ! you can guess how dearly I love you!” Aa the little wilt 1-y Jn»n that night she thought ; “I have won him back again ! Butler than that, I have learned the way to keep Liiu !” The Right Klud of Religion. Let men be taught to know there isss much religion in the good, robust, rejoie iog, enthusiastic singing of God’s praise, as in the sedate and doleful style that is usually styled the most devotional; let them know that the earnest prayer need not be a drawing jeremiad ; let them feel that good gospel-preaching no ay be in a sprightly delivery of pleasant truths, more than in a whimsical recitation of inanities; lot them believe that Christi anity is a live thing, that it is in sympa thy with the active, rejoicing spirit of our humanity, and it will be the better commended to their acceptance. Seriousness ought always to eharao • terize the Christian. But seriousness docs not consist in sullenness, moroso dcss, or even in the sobriety that drives away Bmilcs and the taste for rational pleasures. He is most serious who brings an earnest, healthy, rejoicing na ture to the perform»noe of his duty.— M n are m st beautifully serious when truthful smiles are playing on their lips, and when their whole eountcnancte are lighted’up with a benignant joy. It ought, therefore, to be the eff irt of professing Christians to pass thiougb the world so happily as to light it up and fill it with joy. They ought to sing in the midst of judgments, and to sing loudly and cheerfully and constant ly amid this marvellous benefits. We pass to a kingdom out of sadness and sorrow, where there will be no sorrow nor sighing. Passing to that place, let us cultivate the spirit that is to distin guish us when we arrive there, and show that we do really begin onr heaven on the earth Cast a Link fob Yourself. —A young man stooff listless watching some anglers on a bridge. He wa* poor and and( jested. At last, approaching a basket filled with wholesale looking fish he sighed: “If now I had those I would be hap py. 1 cowld soli them at a fair prieo and bay me food aDd lodgings.” “I will give yon just as maDy and just as good fish,’’ said the owner who ohane ed to overbear his words, “if you will do me a tris ng favor.” “And what is that, askod the other eagerly. “Orly to tend this line till l ooffTe back I wish to go on a short orrand. The proposal was gladly accepted.— The old man was gone so loDg that the young man began to bo impatient Meanwhile, tbs hungry fish snapped ! greedily at the baited hook and the young uuao lost all bmdepression io the excitement of pulling them ift and, when the owner of the life returned, he had caught a large numbo". Counting out from them as many as were in the bas ket, and presenting them to the young man the old fisherman said ' ‘•I fulfill my promise from the fish you have caught, to teach you, when ever yoti see others earning what you need, to waste no time in fruitless wish ing, but to cast a lino for y ourself ” VOL. IV. —NO. Clover as Manure. —ln an article published iu the Report of the Agricul tural Department, a correspondent says the cheapest, most easily attainable of all manures for a corn crop, is a dense mass of red clover, eitbor in its green or ripened and dried state, plowed down three or four inches only; jnst deep enough to prevent wastage, and yet near enough to the surface of the ground to be acted on by the sun’s heat aud tboairl In its decay, clover thus affords certain active and constant nourishment to the young aud expanding roots of the acorn. Both soru aud wheat growned over m clover lay are very generally free from disease and insects, and better in yield and quality than crops grown on or with animal manures. But to seouro this we must manure the clover while yet youog, with liberal supplies of plaster, lime, or fire well-rotted manure spread broad cast over the growing plants. Turnips for Pig*. A correspondent of the Country Gen tleman planted a few acres of turnips which were large enough to begin to feed the first week in July, when they were fed to pigs and no other feed given until the last week in September. No lot of pigs eonld have done better grow ing and keeping in good condition all the while. He does not advocate oooking white turnips for pigs under any cir cumstances. They arc only fit for them raw in warm weatber. Steamed Swedes are good mixed with plenty of meal, but potatoes are so much better than half the meal mixed with them would feed as fast. The Fire that Nick Built. We find in an exohango the follow— ing capital imitation of the style of “The House that Jack Built,” and we wish it might become aa groat a houshold fa vorite : Intemperance—This is the fire that Old Nick built. Modebate Drinking—This is the fuel that feeds the fire that Old Niok built. Rom Selling —This is the axe that cuts the woud, that feeds the fire that Old Nick built. Love or Money —This is the stone that grinds the axe, that chops the wood, that feeds the tire that CJld Nick built. Public OplDion-“-Tbis is thd sledgd with its face of 6ted, that batters the stone, that grinds the axe, that oats tbo wood, that feeds the fire Old Nick built- A Temperance Meeting —This is one of the blows we quietly deal, to fash ion the sledge with its face of steel, that batters the stone, that grinds the axe, that outs the wood, that feeds the fire Old Nick built.
