lly past the lines which btatesmen and diplo
matists have thrown to murk the hounda
ries of nations, und tranelix hearts, vhoie
sole means of communiculiou is the "lan
guage of tho eyes," into eternal unison.
One of these Austro-Venetian marriages
which made conbiderahle noise both in Ven
ice ard V'cn'in, vas between General Ga
blcntz a grim veteran of some fifty years of
age, nnd bignoru Moiisini, Ihc sole daughter
of tho Bignor Morisiui, one of the w ealthiest
of the merchant princes of Venice.
The General wlio was not supposed to bo
a marrying man, was one day in the autumn
of hist year, taking a leisurely stroll through
the Giardino l'ublico, or Public Promenade.
Tho General was accompanied by n young
subaltren, for whom he had evinced a great
liking. ' 1
Ail at once tho .utte'r-tioc of the veferan
was attracted by a remarkably stately and
graceful lady walking in advance of them.
"Jlcin Gott!" said the General, iu a loud
harsh tonu of voice, "hut that is a beautiful
figure of a woman."
The abrupt loudness of the roice in which
this was spoken caused the object of tha
General's eulogy to turn suddenly round,
when a wave ot wind blew aside her veil,
and revealed a fueo of the most perfect sym
metry, lighted up with a pair of t-yes
"large dark' eyes, which ''flash npon you a
volley of rays, w hich seem' to say a thousand
things at once," and which certainly dis
charged upon a well aeaaoued veteran a tire
hlcl muVKl.Sn.ct; mt'K(l. hint more than
the tiro of puisketry or artillery to w hich
he had been exposed in the- whole ourse
of his military' lite. .
There and then old Gablcntz owned him
self completely vanquished. The; next step
was to prevail upon his enslaver or her
guardian to accept the homage of tha heart
4 and km ad dlio toller rioroty.r-. .1
Now,' at the timej tliu General wan per
fect stranger to "the lady. He had never
cast hiii eyes op Iter before that instant. He
did not know her, uauie, where ah .Uyed or
to whoin she beloaged, m. .,..:. i. 1 ' '
; Clearly, then, the first step towards the
accomplishment of his object was to make
biuise' cqiijutui wi.U Ui,ese.
Tie "iyeneral, .flierefofe, tequested his
young friend, s tue greutet favor U' could
confer up.a iiun, to dog the footsteps' of
of the' lady, and if possible, discover her
name and abode, with as much mou kin

" Intense was the astonishment of all pres

self, and the gentleman who ' had acted the
part of friendly spy for him, understood the
cause of the General's extraordinary and
unseemly behavior." - : ' - i."-t '
1 The ; latter gcbtleman, however, though
greatly marvelling at the affair, readily sym
pathized with the infuriated bridegroom;
for there, before the altar, arrayed in bridal
costume, stood not tha fresh and radiant
beauty of the Giardino Publico, but a dry
ami faded we might almost say a withered
nod Scraggy faced, though tall and stately
in her person lady, old enough to be, at
lea9t, the mother of the young and beautiful
creature whose fascinations bad vanquished
the poor old General.
' When the Olllciiiting priest had recovered
the composure disturbed by the bridgroom's
outburst ot fury, he demanded to know tho
cause of such conduct. ' "::!
"Causer echoed the General ; "cause

"But that lady is my daughter I" said the
Venetian, stepping forward and confronting
the warrior with a miom as fierce and stem

I, at least am not so cowurdly a slave, as to
put up quietly with the gross insult you
now oiler me 1"
A general altercation ensued ; but the end
of it wus that tho Genera' was compelled to
marry ' the mature and unblushing, middle
aged bride whom he had led to the altar.
The - Austrian Commander-in-Chief in
Venice, on being apea!i'd to, 1 and on the
affair being explained 'to him, insisted
that the honor of thu Austrian army, and
even of the Emperor, were involved in the
affair. "For," reasoned the Commander-in-Chief,
"you know you procured my influ
ence, which is that of tlie Emperor, to pre
vail on the Signor Morisini to give you Ihc
hand of his daughter; and inasmuch as the
lady is his daughter, and his only daughter
when you iiiiule your suit, you must be sen
sible to the fact that it would never do to
break your word.
The poor crest fallen general WB9 compell
ed to take the middle aged lady "for better
and for : worse." It is possiMe, however,
that he limy have Consoled himself with the
reflection that the unplesant looking pill
which ho had prornUcd to swallow ininlit
be rendered palatable by a gildiug of some
of his father in law's gold. ,
The source of thu mistake was easily
cleared tip.
Old Morisini had a son, settled as n mcr
chant in Genoa. This &on, who w as mar
rieel, had a daughter bearing the same name1
as her aunt Juliano Morisini.
This (laughter the beauty of tho Giar
dino Publico was on a visit to her grand
father, at Venice, when, in the manner rela
ted, she was seen bv General Gnblciitg, and
who, I Ufa use her name was Morisini and
she lived in the same house, verv illogically
jumped to the conclusion tliat she must
the old enelian, Morn-inia daughter. In
hia impu'.icticu to have the fair one for his
wile, lie hud dispensed with a long court
ship and endecci, with any interview with
tlie lady, satisfied with her father's consent,
and fearing probably that his own age, and
rou;;h and rugged address and countenance,
might not make a tender impression on the
soft nnd dazzling creature whom be desired
to make his wife.- .

FARMER'S TAX.
The following is very important to farm
ers, and the decisions have recently been
given by the Pommissioncr of Internal rev
enue at Washington :
. 1st. Farmers will not be required to mako
returns of produce consumed in their own
immediate families. .'
2d. The farmer's profits from sales of live
stock arc to be found from deducting from
the gross receipts for animals sold, thu pur
chase money paid for the same. If animals
have been lost during the year by death or
robbery, the purchase money paid for such
animal's may be deducted from the gross io'
come of the farm. . . ... . , :
3d. No deductions cao be made by the
farmer lor the value of servicea rendered by
his minor childreu, whether he actually pays
for such services or not. If adult children
work for him and receive compensation lor
their labor, they are to be regarded as other
hired laborers iu determining hia income.
,4th. Money paid for labor, except such as
is used or employed iu domestic service, or
in tho production of articles consumed in
the family of the producer, may be deduct
ed. ; . ; . " .' .. ' '
6th, No deduotion can be allowed in any
case for the cost of unproductive labor. II 1
house servants are employed a portion of
the time is productive labor, such as the
making of butter and cheese lor sale, a pro
portionate amount of the wages paid them
may be deducted. ', ' . "'" '
(Mb. Expenses for ditching and cleaning
new land are plainly expenses for permanent
improvement and not deducted, ' .
7th;. The whole! amount expended for fer
tilizers applied during the year to the farm
er's land maybe deducted, but bo deduc
tion i allowed for fertilizers produced on
tire farm. ' The cost of seed purchased for
sowiug and planting may be deducted.
Sill. If a person sells timber standing, the
profits are) to be obtained by esliuiuling the
value of the- land altar tha removal vf the
timber, and fruut the aom thus obtained de
ducting the estimsto valuo of) land on the
first day of January. 1152, or in I he day of

BiiBATiiiNQ Out of Doons aso is thb
Hooaa. The following should receive a
careful perusal from every reader: '
' When a mandraws a breath of air Into
bis lungs, the numerous little Cavities of the
lungs are filled with air, which is a mixture
of oxygen and nitrogen. A portion of the
oxygen passes, by the mysterious action of
tha endosmosis, through the. membrane of
the lungs, into tho blood, which lias been
distributed on the opposite side of the mem
brane to receive it. The blood, having ab
sorbed through the oxygen, carries it through
the arteries, all over the system into the
minute capilliary blood vessels, and here it
is brought into immediate contact with the
food, which, after digestion, bad been pour
ed into the blood. . A portion of the carbon
of the food combines with the Absorbed ox
ygen, forming catbonic acid and generating
pracisely the same amount of heat that the
same quantity of carbon would generate if
turned in the state of coal in a furnace.'.' It
is this heat which keeps up tho temperature
of the system, and it is the fundamental con
dition for all those vital actions which con
stitute life. Life depends upon the perpe
tual tilling of the lungs with oxygen : hence
if the windpipe is closed by a rope around
the neck, or if the mouth and nostrils are
immersed in water, death quickly ensues,
The air that is breathed out of tlie lungs
is mostly nitrogen aud carbonic acid, with
but little of that oxygen w hich is the life
giving clement. If a person is sitting in the
room where the air is confined and still,
when a volume of air comes from his lungs
it fills the space about his mouth and nos
trils, and the next breath that he draws in
is mostly the air which has just previously
passed through his lungs. As he continues
to breathe the same air over and over, it be
comes more and more deprived of its oxy
gen, and more and more surcharged with
carbonic arid ; consequently his vital func
tions become less vigorous.
. On the other hand, if a man is walking
in the street while he is breathing, when he
throws out a quantity of air from bis lungs,
his head is carried along away from it belore
he draws another breath, nr.d he thus gets a
fresh supply of air with its full richness of
oxygen at every oreatu.' llenco tlie vigor
imparted to the system by exercise in the
open air, und hence the importance of per
fect ventilation ta those confined in houses.
Besides, combining with carbon in the
blood, oxygen also combines with iron,
changing it from the brown protoxide to the
red peroxides the rough of the silversmiths.
It may be that the more perfect oxidizing
of the iron in the blood is one reason for the
rosy cheek of those who live out of doors.

illustrates our view st
. "In a brief interview with one of our
most liberal patrons a few days since, we in
quired his experience of the policy of adver
tising. We regard his answer as note
worthy, and commend it to the considera
tion of others. He said the same, kind of
business in which he is engaged had beeu
carried on at tho same stand for ten years by
one, and nearly ten years by another prede
cessor. That these men gave diligent at
tention to their business, and were sober
and frugal, but spent nothing for adver
tising. They were just barely able to eke
out a living. That be bought out the con
cern ten years ago, and begun debtoi for the

expended fifty dollars per annum io each of

Cheap Phjktino Paper is still the cry,
but so far we have the cry only for our
pains. The full price of mouths ago is still
kept up. All the new inventions of straw,

cheapening it, Neither has the removal of
the hree per cent, tax oo the sales. The
corn-husk invention has not yet been carried
fully into effect, but which, when it reaches
this point, may favorably affect the price.
We believe that more Ipdian corn will here

AGRICULTURAL, &0.
Wintering Farm Momch. "
Some farmer treat their horses In wintt
much as they do their fattening cattle an
sheep; ihey give them abundant food, an
but little exercise, keep them in a wart
and dimly lighted stable, and if they do hu
grow fat, with their rattle and sheep, the
deem it convincing proof that the prope
course ha been pursued. Now horse ii
good working condition, at least, houl(
always bo seen on the premises of a goot
farmer, but his gratiludo towards tbes
faithful servants should not induco him, a'
any time of the year, to stall feed them
The butcher wants thick meat and plen,t3
of tallow in the cattle and sheep, but tin
plowman looks for strong muscle, spirit and
endurance in his team. The food and cart
of the different animals should be consis
tent with the ultimate purpose they arc to
serve. Fat horses that, have been wintered
mostly in the stable, without much exercise,
are not fit for hard service at the opening
of the working season In the spring, and a
prolific source of disease is the bard work:
they are frequently compelled to do when
they are not in proper condition.
The ordinary winter business of tho farm
er does not call for much exercise of his
team, and if he havo tcvcial, most of them
may be entirely idle. In such cases it is an
excellent plun to have a yard for their es
pecial benefit, well littered and safe, ancl
let them have access to it several hours each
day. The horses should be unshod, and- if
they are vicious they may be turned loose
at different hours from tho others. The
horses will show by their playful actions
how much they enjoy this temporary relief
from the stall. Another very important
thing, often neglected by farmers, is the
grooming of their teams. In the summer
time tho horse, by rolling in the pasture, to
a certain extent cleans himself ; beside tho
rains have some effect. But in the stable-he
relies on the caro of his muster, nnd tho
keen enjoyment the curry-comb and brush
evidently give him, should be ample reward
for the labor. A well lighted stable, tho.
roughly ventilated, yet free from current ef
ir, should also be provided.
In regard to the feed of horses, most
farmers, we think, will agree to the propo
sition that it is always good economy- to
grind or mash all kinds of grain before
feeding. It is well established that cut
straw, cornstalks or other coarse fodder,
fed with some grain, is cheaper than to
winter horses wholly on hay. ! Without
stopping to assign reasons we think they
also come out in spring in better condition
than when fed on hay alone. Good wheat
or oat straw, fed with bran strengthened
with corn meal, h been found excellent.
When the weather is not too cold it is pre
ferable to dampen the cut bay or straw and
sprinkle the meal on it. .
The wintering of horses should begin
with the first approach of cold autumn
nights. No work horse should now be left
in the pasture except in the day' time.
Exposure to a Urttlc autumn stormy night
cause damage enough to the farmer's teams
to nave pain tor years ot timely care.
Rural Kcv Yorker,
Making and Keeping Manure,
However much may have been said on this
subject, it does not seem to have had the
desired effect, when we sec o many of those
who are considered as our best farmers ne
glecting to take any steps toward promoting
this end ; who, instead of devising means
for increasing its amount, even suffer a large
part of that already obtained to be wasted.
Now, I believe that most of those who per
mit this are entirely ignorant of the great
injury they are doing themselves, and there
may be a few who, though they have had
their attention called to it, yet fail to adopt
any means for remedying so great an evil.
I will endeavor to point out a few of the
most prominent source of waste, and the
means by which they may bp obviated,
' To begin with the most important of all
manures, which is that obtained from our
stables and cnw-housei. and which is usually
thrown out into the barnyards to remain
there without any protection from the wea
ther, until after it ha been toaked by ritJ
after rain, it is carried out into the fields to
restore the waste occasioned by the removal
of preceding crops. --
Now, if this water, after soaking through
the manure, and extracting from it a largo
amount of. its 'usefulness, was carefully
saved by being caught in tanks, the loss
would not be as much felt ; but even tbi is
not done, and a barn ara generally built
on the aide of a hill when possible, the
water which falls into their yards runs otf
almost immediately; and when not to situ
ated, drains are usually cut from them to
permit it to escape, and tbu a quality of
the most fertile part of the manure i lost.
Aow, this loss could easily be prevented.
and with slight expense, by the erection of
ashed under which the manure could be
stowed, or what would be better still, if a
covered pit could be prepared io whioh it
might be deposited, aud any expense in
curred ic this way would toon be repaid.
Ammonia is also constantly escaping iroro
the manure in the form of gas, and as it i
a substance which contains a large' amount
of nitrogen, which is especially beneficial to
crops, it would be well if it were also saved.
Ao, this can be accompluhed iy tue ap
plication of aevesal substance to the manure.
among the cheapest aad best of which i
the sulphate of lime or plaster of Pari, and
it does it io tins way : tue suipuuric acia id
the sulphate of lime ha a greater affinity for
the ammonia than it ba for the lima, and it
therefore leaves the lime and attaobe itself
to the ammonia, forming tue tuipuata oj
ammonia, which 1 a fixed salt. ,
Hence, tha .frequent application to tha
manure, partiou'arly that just carried from
the stable, of a little of the plaster, . would
greatly tend to prevent the escape of tbi
- There it yet another point to which I
would call attention, a&d that i tha ways
by which we can increase eur stock of man
ure; and though they are many I will only
peak of two of .the most prominent t Tie
Drat it by moan of tb com post heap, and
the second, by the pig pea. , If you will only
give your pig the material, tha quantity ot
tufcoure they -will make will bo tmmenaa.
Old straw and bay can I giveav t) them
with BdvntBiv"7viiT-v.til ber than tha
are dead leaves ; you may fill tha.' pen half
