II PIIGIT--A YEAR'S efl-VNOVS A year brings with it many changes—its flight is marked by joy and sorrow—and still time flies on, ploughing the wrinkles deeper on our brows—teaching us that earthly pleasures aro evanescent and fleet ing—learning us that heavenly joys are imperishable and everlasting. The sun light of pleasure Mantes the pathway of some, but alas ! how many go plodding along life's thorny path, grouping amid the °bon darkness of despair. Oh, youth ! Season of innocence and love ! Oh, man hood ! full of toil, care and woe ! Oh, life ! thou dark, uncertain mystery! What is life, and all its joys, without the hope of that better existence beyond the ,gravel-' The winter has' come and gone again, and spring once more gladdens the earth with her annual tribute of sunshine and of flowers Lady Cliflbrd's health has failed rapidly since wo saw her last, and she is unable to leave the house, even to take a short ride. Nature is exhausted by both mental and physical suffering, and her physician has said, "Lady Clifford, I have done all that man can do to save you, but in vain. I can do no more. You had better• settle your worldly airaint without delay, and prepare to die." "Prepare to die!" How these words rung in her ears after the physician had departed, sinking heavily, on her guilty soul, muffling the life blood in her heart, causing her to tremble and shrink with horror, as though the grim King of Terror had already laid his icy grasp on her heart strings. Then year after year of her misspent life glided in rapid snecession before her mental gaze, and one dark, damning crime darken ed like an, inky veil' the hope of iIiTL; and salvation. Thus she lay in agony of spirit, tempest 'tossed, ,on the waters of despair—no light—no guici6-Liio hope. _ _ _ "Oh God ! Oh God!" she cried in anguish, have mercy on a . guilty, guilty wretch! Spare me a little longer, that I may make some small atonement for my many sins! Oh! if I had strength sufficient I would aid those who have been so fouty wronged, I would give unto Arthur Melville his father's name and his lhther's wealth, for neither ho nor his mother over wronged me, knowingly- 7 (lnd she is Ludy Clifford." Alow mooking laugh,liendish in its tone, echoed through the chatuber. The dying woman turned• feebly on her couch and beheld Sir Mortimer standing near her. lie had entered noiselessly, and listened to her IA ords.. "You would rob mc, would you—me, your brother? Thank God, you have not made your will, and I AM heir to all your wealth., -I...gnes, listen: you remember when Sir Guy and myself were both boys, we quarrelled, and lie struck me bleeding and senseless to the earth. I swore I'd have revenge, and I have had it. yroma diin-ifour we never exchanged a word, but passed each other by as strangers. you married him, and then I hated you, for, you broke my father's heart. He detested the very name of a Clifford, and he never came to see you after ,you had left your, ,childhood 's happy home, a bride—and when you wrote to him, imploring his forgiveness, I opened that letter and destroyed it; he never saw it." . . _ Worn out and exhausted wi h Jong suffer ing, Lady Clifford laid and listened, with-, out speaking, to her brother's words. 'They p:oreed her heart like daggers, but ho heeded not her anguish, for unfeeling villain that be was, he longed to crush her. He proceeded : "Had you taken my ads-ice, Agnes, you would never have known, or felt all this misery; but yon have reaped the reward of your own folly and indiscretion." "Had I not have taken your advice I would now be innocent of a great crime. You made me a murderess ; and—Oh God ! would to heaven I had never listened to your hellish advice. I shudder when I think I must stand face to face, with hint, before my Maker! Oh ! Mortimer, part of this fearful guilt rests on your own soul, for you advised cue to have him murdered !" She buried her white face in the pillow, shuddering convulsively, while he, the tempter, stood with folded arms, grinning sardonically. "I did, Agnes ; and when I saw him in his coffin then I was avenged, ha! ha! ha! you know not all I have planned and plotted for! Sutherland manor, my inheri tance has slipped through my fingerS, and it;l t had not gained that for which I aimed, I would now be a beggar. Lady Clifford— your death restores again my lost estate auto me." Lady Cliffbrd 'started up to a - sitting posture, her hair hanging in tangled and disheveled masses on either side et' her pale thee. 1 ler dark eyes theilied as she ex tended taw thin enmeiated hand towards him, and her colorless lips quivered as these words escaped them : Villain ! Hypocrite ! Devil ! you have played a desperate game, and won, but your triumpla will be short! God in his own time will punish you." The effort exhausted all her strength. She fell heavily back on the pillow, sense less. For a moment he gazed. at her—a stony, pitiless gaze, then turning on his heel he left the chamber. " Poor fool," he muttered as he descend ed the stairs,'' another outburst like that \rill finish her; but she won't trouble me long, any way. - Now I'll go down to the library and make sure the will is safe. I shall soon be in possession of three thousand pounds, and then the fair lady Blanche erkeloy shall bo my bride. I thought at one time she loved her cousin Charles Berkeley, but sho hates him nine, I do be lieve, and I am certain of success in my wooing." He met one of the maid servants, ant after bidding her go immediately to Lady Clifford's chamber, he entered the library. He locked the door, for he did not wish to be disturbed, and then he took from a secret drawer Lady Clifford's His hands trembled with nervous excite ment as he unfolded the important docu ment and perused the contents. It was drawn up correctly, signed by Lady Clifford, and two witnesses of Us own choosing. The lawyer who had boon employed was a particular friend of Sir -Mo•timors, and the witnesses wore servants who lad been bribed to keep close tonged, for Lady Clif ford was dAirious when she signed her name, rendVed by a subtle drug that had been administered to her by her treacher ous physician, who was well rewarded for the important service he rendered. The validity of the will couldmot be disputed One thing alone troubled Sir Mortimer, and I,ilis,tra,Atlia_stulden lisappearance of the church .cegister on time very day when ,Lady Clifford had yisiled the Sexton at Hampton to , examine it. Who had taken it? Where was it? For what purpose had it been taken, and at that particular time ? Some person must have known when Lady Clifford started for Hampton, and also her object in going there, and determined to frustrate her plan. He was deeper puzzled and perplexed the more he thought the matter over, and final ly lie dismissed the subject from his mind altogether. No person, save the coachman, knew anything about her ladyships visit to Hampton, and he could not tell why she went there, lie had questioned both the coachman and the servants, separately, with no result, and thus the matter rested,. and time rolled on, At times, he feared that accident might reveal to Arthur Melville the secret of his birth, and then lie might come to claiut his fathers wealth, his name—and prove his right. to the inheribmee. Oh, how 1w Imped, aye, and he dared to pray I hat this might never be, far t hen t bought,) Le cotild be wind? A beggar. But he feared nothing, now. A year had gone by since Lady Clillbrd's death, and nothing had occurred to trouble him, and now he feels more at ease, more secure in the posession of his fraudulently acquired wealth, that justly belonged to the poor, toiling author, wife was working hard to support himself and his widowed mother— lbr Fame, that is so dear to every gifted child of genius.

CIIAI"I . .E•R 11 X DEI:KELEY /TALL, AND ITS IN3f.tTES Sir itichard Berkeley has grown older, more gentle, and more "lam iliar with the poets" since we saw him last. Life is slow ly dying oat within hire—his former good humor has deserted him--a settled melan choly amounting at times to moroseness has taken possession of him, and he is only time image of '•good natured old Dick," who didn't core if he broke his neck at "the next fox hunt." Ever siuoo May refused to return home with him he has daily• been sinking how ever, both in health and spirits, and now as He sits there in his old tirm chair, with his gouty toot supported by cushions, and his chin resting in the palm of his left hand, his gaze fixed on the half-empty glass that stands on the table before him, ono cannot help pitying him ; he looks so thoroughly wretched. Pomp, the old negro that he brought home with him from A meriea, (after Made= line's death,) is his constant companion now, for the Lady Blanche seldom annoys Itiin with her kesence. The sable attendant, is sitting on the car pet, earressiug a handsome grey hound, nut ever and :moat ho turns front his canine companion to gaze sorrowfully at his was ter, :wondering why he remains so long x-ilent. The gaze-is expressive of anxious solicitile - and intense syMpathetic feeling.

This is a‘s strange; strange world, Pomp ; and I sometimes wish was out 'of it, for I have no one left to love me now." long drawn sigh came strangling up from iMild the buried memories of the past, and' Sir' Richards head sank slowly down until his forehead rested on his hand again "Yes, ye has, Ma'sr Bich'ud !

"!Paithful fellow ! and when old Dick Berkeley dies you shall not be left depen dent on the charity of those who did not love your master. Damn my buttons! I care nothing about my brother Henry's hatred, nor the animosity of his spendthrift son, Charles ! I care nothing about my own child, Lady Blanche, for she is a devil in woman's form ; but it almost breaks my heart when I think of my little gipsey, May Wallace, her whom I loved so well. Why did she go to my brother Henry's? Why did she leave no and seek a home among those who hate me? Why did she not stay with the 01.; rally's when she would not come back to tne old man who loved her as a father loves a child who is the pride, the joy, the sunlight of his exist ence ? The world is full of ingratitude, and the serpent you warm in your bosom will 1111 . 11 and sting you to the heart." "And what is friendship but a name, A charm that lulls to sleep ; A shade that folloWs wealth or now, And leaves the wretch to weep." "Still familiar with the poets—they never leave me in my sorrow." The negro sat gazing .at his master in wondering silence. He understood the depth and power of the old man's sorrow, but Sir Richard's words were a mystery to him—a sealed book as'itWere, in which he could not read—a blank to his untutored mind—and he dared not break the spell, but looked steadily at the bowed figure be fore him, in mute awe. There was something "awful" about his master whenever he alluded to the Poets, and his quotations were as unintelligible to Pomp as the handwriting on the wall was to Belshazzar.

"Damn my buttons! The girl has sonic feeling in her I do believe, but she should have shown it , years ago. Conic along ! Pomp!" They walked on slowly until they reached a giant oak, and then Sir Richard sat down to ease his gouty-limb.

Dr.. Duffield. The Rev. George Duffield, D. D., was born in the village of Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, July 4, 1791, and was, at the time of death, which occurred in Detroit Friday, June 26, in his 74th year. His father, bearing the same name, was, a merchant and for nine years Con troller General of the State of Pennsylva nia, under Gov. ;McKean. His grand father, having also the same name was the well known Chaplain of the old Continental Congress, which honor he held in common with Bishop White. At the early age of 16 Dr. Duffield graduated at the University of Pennsylvania, then under the Provost ship of A. McDowell, L. L. D. and front the institution he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity. On the 20111 of April, 1815, Dr. Duffield was licensed to preach by the Presbyterians of Philadelphia, and im mediately afterward entered upon' the active duties of his profession, in which he continued until the day of his death. In 1816 he was married in this city to Miss Isabella Grabant Bethune, daughter of the well known tnerchaut, and sister of the Rev. Geo. W. Bethune, D. D. He had 11 sons of whom only five still survive. In 1857 he was called to the Broadway Taber- uncle as the successor of the Rev. Chas. G. Finney: In 1838 ho was called to the First Presbyterian Congregation of Detroit, a position he at once accepted, and continued as sole pastor until April 27, 1805, when the Rev. N. S. McCorkle was installed as Associate Pastor. Dr. Duffield maintained his vigor remarkably, preaching at least once every Sunday ,except when temporar ily disabled, until the day of his death. Roil - miffing faithrtfilyut Ids post during the cholera season of isb,' and then surerely prostrated by that dreadful malady, his health was so completely broken down by a chronic disease that threatened his life that at the earnest request of his people he accepted a leave ofabsence and went abroad lbr one year, and returned happily restored to health. In his own denomination, Dr. Duffield's ability and learning made hint one of its most eminent men. He stood in the same company with Dr. Lyman Beecher, Dr. Albert Barnes, Dr. Boman, Dr. S. 11.

The Rebel Dead The question whether the Rebel dead shall or shall not be buried in some portion of the Antietam Cenic4ery, is eliciting a good deal of 'comment and stirring up much feeling throughout the country. It is difileult to draw the line where a just hatred of treason ends, and a narrow, vin dictive hatred of traitors begins. 1t is truth, that to honor these dead rebel soldiers would be an insult to those who fell by their hands; it, would tend to confuse all moral dist illetionti in regard to the cause in which they fell, in an indiscriminating and senti mental pity. It would not be well that. the growing generation should say, "Be hold! what use is it to be patriotic and true, and to die for one's country? Those who did so received no greater honor than those who fought to distroy it. We will not be fools enough to do so." nutters to the Rebel dead would be a deathblow to the patriotism of the next generation. But, when this is said all is said. Bad as would he the influence of honoring the itebel deed, it would be jiist as lied to per petuate a vindictive hatred of their dead bodies. They were wrong, but they were honest in the wrong. The rank and lila of the Rebel army were actuated by noble though nastaken mutives,and died bravely fur what they believed to be a just cause. It is the part of a magnanimous nation not to insult the dead body of a fallen foe. We cannot forgive their treason, but we can forget the animosities engendered by iL. Wo should not strive to perpetuate the bit ter feelings between the North and South. The erring sisters are returning ono by one repentant. Is this a time to insult their misguided children? Wo should say, let the Rebel dead be decently, but unostenta tiously, buried in some part of the C 01 1 ,50- crated cemetery—not as Rebels, but as men. Vrettklo of Students. The students at Dickinson College, Cur lisle, oil Monday night, at the conclusion of their term, held a mock funeral and buried a book near the gas works with im posing ceremonies. The book was enclosed in a coffin, a torch light procession formed, headed by life and drum, which took its march for the place of burial, the band playing. "Yankee Doodle," and the hell of the college tollingmeanu bile. Coining to a halt, the coffin was' deposited in its rest ing place, a German song sang,, addresses 'delivered and other ceremonies gone through with. The occasion was both sol emn and mirthful, and is a feature which is distinct and only known to college stu dents who thus celebrate the closing scenes of their term. LIEUT. D. F.

It must not be forgotten that every plant, however small or feeble, takes something from the richness of the surrounding earth. In order, therefore, to keep up the fertility of the garden without incurring annual .expense for fertilizers, it is well to have an out-of-the-way corner where withered plants, refuse vegetables, the litter from poultry-houses, bones, ashes, sawdust, soot, mowing of grass, dead leaves and all such things, may be throWlit This compost-heap should be under shelter; and if care be taken to store up all refuse materials there, the result will be a good quantity of vegtable manure—the best fertilizer for slower garden and orchard—in the follow ing spring. Before it is used,.hnve some fresh lime, slaked with brine till it falls to powder, sprinkled over the compost, which should be turned over two or three Limes, and it is then ready for use, mixed with double its quantity of earth. Tiri WILEAT HAI:VP-ST.—Our crop re ports continuo to be of a character more satisfactory than havo been noted at this period for several years. Throughout the South, the condition of their great staple, cotton, is favorably spoken of, While the growing corn, in unusual breadth exhibits an unequalled luxuriance and thrift. Wheat, by far the most important of all the grains, has been already harvested, and not only in those regions, bat also in the Border States, as the ripening of the crop comes Northward, the harvest is reported as of the greatest abundance and completed under the most favorable conditions. From every part of the :Middle Slates, as well as front the remoter West, we have such (Littering accounts of the character of the crop now rapidly maturing, as to justify the opinion that the wheat harvest of 1865 will be unparalleled for seven years, in yield and quality. It is, in the regions spoken of, fairly out of danger, except such us may threaten it in the stack, and four weeks more will see the bulk of the crop, south of the parallel of the Lake Erie shore, safely is the garners of the husbandman. If the spring wheat of the Northwest shall do as well, the year will be marked as one of un precedented plenty, and, re-inaugurating an era of Cheap tread for the Millions, will revivify the prosperity of the Nation. lianr-.STEAL'.--Fried beef-steak is an in digestible abomination that never should be tolerated on any respectable table. Take two or more sirloin steaks; pound and wash them. Place the grid-iron over the fire, and when hot, put on tho steaks, and cover them with a tin; they require to be done quickly. In turning, do not stick a fork lu them, as that will cause the juice to escape. When done, place them on a heated dish ; season with salt and pepper, and baste well with fresh butter; then send to the table hot. If you will have fried steak, the following Is the least objectionable mode of preparing , it: yrepare, your as for broiling, put a clean pan on the tire, and heat nearly red hut; put in the steak and instantly cover close, (of course, when the steak is first put in it will adhere to the pan, but it will soon come off,) cool three or four minutes, take off the cover and turn the steak, anti in three minutes more it is done. Salt and peper to taste, and send to the table in a covered dish. If you wish gravy,-pour cup of hot coffee over the steak. tinanso IfAr.—The murky skies of Eng landf says an exchange, place great ob stacles in the way of making good hay. A new system has lately been proposed by Mr. Alexander Forsyth, which consists in testing the grass into ropes, and winding these ropes around a wooden coreibr man drel, so that when the latter is removed - the ropes form hollow cylinders. At first' sight,. it would seem that this process must be very expensive one; but it is claimed that these hollow cylinders of hay occupy so little room that they may be dried under cover, and when so covered they retain the properties of fresh grass in such perfection that the improvement more than compen sates for the increased cost. The hay is said to be beautifully green and highly fragrant. WHEN ro LlARV.ll . sl%—Graill is not usual ly cut early enough. The pratice is to let the field become thoroughly dolden before going in wills the siekle. And yet it has been demonstrated that, wheat cut when just out of the milk, and securely shocked, will yield a plumper berry, that will weigh heavier and sell hotter, than if it had stood in the field till dead ripe. Besides this, it, will be harvested more easily, give more time for reseeding, and afford straw much more valuable, as it will come out fresh, greed and fragrant. The pratice of the early cutting of grain has become general at the East. Western farmers seem yet to be afraid of a good thing. SMALL FIWIT . WIN'Es.—To make good wino from blackberries, strawberries, rasp berries, currants or gooseberries, is a simple process. Mash the fruit fine in a gallon of boiling water to each gallon of fruit, add four pounds of sugar, and, after standing twenty-four hours, strain and put into a cask and deposit in the cellar. If, after fermentation, it should be racked off and corked up in bottles, all the better ; but it will do to rack it into another cask, in which it will keep very well though on tap for the year. The cost of this wino, in cluding a fair price fur the berries, will be about thirty-live cents per gallon. Ir shrubbery or fruit trees transplanted this season look sickly or backward in growing, prune them sharply. It is tho only way to sane them, their setting out and other things being dull• attended to. 11. C.
