RENTS. TLc question of rent is a very se rious one in New York. Vpon the avenues a first-class bouse is worth or ruber was worth $12,000 a year, nnd running from that all the way down to $5,000. The 'Trench flat" Fvstcm is coming into vogue for fami- 1 es wLodeeire to live inomcthmg like elegance but cannot afford a whole house. A flat has in it about eight rooms, tbat is to say it is on one floor, tLrougu from front to rear, fated op into rooms. The purler, sitting-room and bed-rooms are elegant but tbe kitcLen and ccllcrage are not only roomv, but commodious. These ajt puruuents rsnt from $5,000 per year, down to $1,000. TLe poorer people get smaller flats higher up from 500 down to $200, though at the latter figure they go up a long way, and in a very mean nart of the city. You will see from'these figures that rent is a very important item in living in tbe city that it is the cancer that eats out income at a fearful rate. Take what a man baa to pay for a bouse to live in, a ud a store to do business in. and there is mighty little left. Now-a-days if I- 'ets out even be in d'jiog esceciilngly well. POLITICAL.

As tbe population of tbe country is now about forty xnuuons, and each colored citizen is entitled to forty acres and a mule, this would make tbe annual consumption of sleeve buttons by tbe army and navy about six bundred million buttons a ytar. 1 cannot say to a cent hovv uuch tbey cost, but tbey arc or no use under tbe sun.

CHAPTER "So moct for brioging poor rela tions into the bouse !

"Well, suppose he has ; she is a good girl, is she not ?" quickly responded the mercbant . , .- j " Idjn'tknow but that se'sgoodj enough ; but she ia a papper!" - i Not exactly a panper Mrs. Mas- j on. " . ; "Didnt we'take ber into tbe faiai-j ly to keep ber from starving?" ' " I did Dot so understand it. You needed a yoong woman to assist yon in sewing, and employed her at half the usual wages." " Yes, and isn't Ehe a panper for all that?" "Gently, Mrs. Mason; you forget that she "is my bister's daughter," said the merchant a little steruly. " Wbat if she ii? She is a penny- less girl for all that A pretty match for our eon." And why not for our son? Iam not a millionaire. If the times don't come easier than they have been, I shall fail before tbe year is out." So much the more reason why Cha-les ehould look ont for himself." " If he loves my Diece, I sincerely hone he will marry her. for I believe she is one of tbe best ?irls in tbe world ; certainly she is vasily supe rior to the sillr, affected, mincing, novel-reading misses of fashionable society. I commend his taste and bis judgment." " Well, Mr. Mason, I am surpris ed!" " Not the least occasion to be sur prised." " Let me tell you, Mr. Mason, that I Dever will consent to see Charles throw himself away on a pauper. If you haven't tbe spirit to prevent so disgraceful a match, I shall send the girl away." " Don't you do it madame," said Mr. Mason, in a firm, decided tone. I ghall do it !" replied tbe lady, waxing warm at tbe obstinacy of her husband, who in trivial matters, wns in the habit of letting her have her own way. "Better not," the sentleman. quietly responded " The minx put on eui-h air3 and smirked so, that I really believe she meant to catch him-" "What, Grace? Impossible! She is a little gentle, quiet thing, and I'm sure the idea of a flirtation never en tered her simple head." " Humph !'' sneered tbe lady. "I know better. And now that he is re ally making love to her, the provok ing jade seems to look upon it as a matter of course; thinks it is jurt a3 much a proper thing that she should be tie wife ot oar Charles, as though she bad been bora a princess !"

" I bope ao." " You don't want he should leave it all in your family, then?" sneered tbe lady. " No, I hope be will do justly." " I wish I could get her out of the way before he comes." " Don't attempt it, Mrs. Mason," said tbe merchant, with very decided etnpbasis. " If she were only out of the way, Henrietta would come in for the whole," added the lady as she hur ried out of tbe room to make arrange' mcnts tor tne reception oi uncle Jo seph. CHATTER II. Uncle Joseph was a Calcutta mer chant, ia hicb capacity be had ac cumulated an immense fortune. Be ing a bachelor, the probable disposi tion of bis property became a ques tion of considerable interest araons bis relations. The family of Mr. Masou, the mer chant introduced ia tbe last chapter, included but two children, a sun and dangbtcr. Grace was the only daughter of a sister, recently deceased, who had been for many years a widow. It was supposed that Uncle Joseph wonld make one of his nieces his heiress. This was the old fellow 'i whim, and no one conld gainsay the whim of a bachelor. From some in dication of preference which he had bestowed npon Henrietta in her child hood, it was generally believed tbat she would prove to be tbo fortunate one. Henrietta had been educated to be a lady. Her delicate fingers were never soiled by rude collision with pots and kettles, and she bad been taught to believe that it was delicate sensibility to be afraid of a spider or a ball-frog. Sbe played the piano witb passable skill and lingered away half ber time at full length on tbe sofa, pouring over tbe contents of novel. Sach was the prospective heiress of Uncle Joseph's large fortune. Her father was far from approving tbe education sbe bad received, and bad used all tbe influence he possessed. short of quarreling, to have there de fecia remedied. Uncle Joseph came and was wel corned as became tbe dignity of one wbo bad a fortune to bestow Henrietta thouirht he was a "dear love" of a man, and sbe wondered tbat tbe ladies ever let him remain bachelor. Grace, by the contrivance c-f Mrs. Mason, was not present whea her uncle arrived ; but Mr. Mason, un derstanding the trick, sought her ia person, and introduced her to the man of money. The poor girl was too modest and retiring to force herself upon tbe no tice of Uncle Joseph, who was too deeply absorbed by tbe unremitting attentions of Henrietta to perceive ber situation, or discover tbe menial capacity in which ehe acted. At tea. Uncle. Joseph complained of being ill, and said that he had sot J been well since be landed oa tne pre vious day. ' .r1-- ; i -t " ' - Mrs. Maeoa and her daughter were all eynrpalby. The tiling bachelor was conducted id his apartment, and herb teas and jags of hot water were put in requisition. . Henrietta volun teered to sit all night by his bedside and minister to his wants ; bat tbe sick man did not deem it necessary. During all this confusion Grace a r-a was not to oe seen, aoe was not permitted to assist in the preparations for the sick man's comfort ; every thing must be done by Henrietta's own band. Notwithstanding tbe kind atten tions lavibbed upon Uncle Joseph, there was do improvement in his con dition ; but on the contrary be rap idly grew worse, and at midnight the physician was sent for. Henrietta had not left tbe bedside for a mo jicnt She was the most devoted creature in the world, and tbe bache lor could not but contrast ber devo tion with tbe utter neglect of Grace, who bad not once entered his room, even to enquire bow he did. Henri etta's prospects were decidedly bril liant The physician came, and after feel ing tbe pulse of tbe sufferer, inquired where he resided when at home. Uncle Joseph replied tbat be bad no borne bad just come from Cal cutta. " I see," said the physician. "Was there any sickness on board tbe ship?" " There was. I came by the over land route to Liverpool, thence by a New York liner. There was a steer age fall of emigrants on board, among whom tbe fever raged fearfully." "Just so," returned the physician, "and you have got the ship fever." " The ship fever 1" exclaimed Hen rietta, rushing ont of the room. The sick man turned and witness ed her abrupt departure. Witb a sigb, such as only can be wrong from a bachelor conscious of his loneliness, be drew tbe bed-clothes closely about him, and apparently abandoned him self to tbe fate which tbe dreadful disease seemed to foreshadow. Tbe phyciao made up bis pre scriptiou and retired. No one was left with Uncle Joseph but bis broth er. , , " I am deserted, brother," said the sick man. " No brother, I am here." " But there is no hand of woman here ; well, it is a dreadful disease," and the sufferer sighed again. Mr. Mason went down to the sit ting room, wbitber bis wile ana daughter bad fled. How is this wife? Is Joseph to be abandoned now tbat be most needs attention ?" asked he of Mrs. Mason. " You don't think we are going to stay in the room with the ship fever?" replied Mrs. Mason. Xou may as well be in tbe room as ia be bouse." " We must leave tbe bouse imme diately. Why did be not go to tbe the hospital ? It was not very con siderate of bim to bring tbe ship fever into the family, lie might have known tbat he tad iu" Heaven forgive your heartless- cess! But is my brother to die witb no one to care for him ?" exclaimed Mr. Mason, indignantly. " l ou must hire a nurse." "And you will desert him ?" " We can't stay wbere tbe ship ever is." No, papa, it would be suicidal," added Henrietta. "Hisforiuoa would do ait no rood if we caught the fe ver." 'G. tben I but there is still one in tbt household has a heart," replied Mr. .Ma.'on. as be left tbe room to etk tbe apartment of Grace. Grace was ready in a moment to attend ber uncle to the sick room, a here, recardless of tbe danger of contagion, sbe laved tbe burning brow of tbe sufferer, and did all that an angle band could do to render bim comfortable. Early in the morning Mrs. Mason and ber daughter departed for the residence of a friend ia the country CHAPTER III. For several weeks Grace, with sucb assistance as Mr. Mason and U banes could give, nursed tbe inva lid witb the most untiring devotion All her time was spent by bis bed side. She was all gentleness and sympathy, bearing patiently with bis petnlance and ill-humor, and never betraying tbe slightest appear ance of an if er when be scolded and even swore at her. Tbe fever turned and he began to mend, de was now out of danger aud rapidly advancing to complete restoration. Tbe physician commended the skill ana oevoiion oi dis nurse, assunug bim tbat be owed bis life to ber. But the devotioa of the poor girl cost ber dearly ; for scarcely had Un cle Joseph recovered, before sbe was taken down wub the fever, and for weeks languished on tbe very verge et tbe grave. let mere was no temale baud to lave ber brow save that of a hired nurse, manes Jdason loved ber a- he did his own existence, and day aud night be watched over ber wub constancy and devotion worthy the loving beartoi tbe gentler sex. Uncle Joseph, too, was an anxious watcher round ber bed. Though be was a bachelor and bad spent tbe greater part of bis life in India, away from tbe gentle influences of female society, be showed an aptness in tbe sick room tbat would ba;e done boa or to a Benedict. To the intense relief of ber devo ted friends, Grace recovered. The disease was banished from the bouce, and Mrs. Mason end Hennetta ven tured to return. " I trust you have had a pleasant visit, madame," said L ode Joseph coldly. " Pleasant ! nay, far from it You do us injustice: we were perfectly miserable on account of your danger ous illness." " Humph !" said Uncle Joseph with a sneer. Tbe love between Charles and Grace, strengthened bv tbe scenes ol suffering tbrongh which they had passed, was now an unalterable sent iment Lncle Joseph had not wit nessed their mutual devotioa to bim ia bis i! loess, without suspecting tbe existence of some strong bond of unioa between them. And the young man's untiring attention to ber ia her own sickness had confirmed the opin ion. .... . : Seeking a favorable opportunity, be conversed with Charles open the subject, wbo readily admitted his af fection. - Tbe bachelor recommended an immediate marriage. The step was Dot, of coarse, un grateful to tbe feelings of the lover. And tbe desire to redeem Grace from the life of drudgery to which she was reduced by tbe beartleasness of his mother, seemed to demand their im mediate union. . : , . v ; ? .- 1 ; ! .The yoong man's intentions were soon noised through the family. Mra. Mason renewed tbe opposition she had before made, and even went so far as to threated that, if she could not break up tbe match, sbe would embitter tbe lives of the parties. Uncle Joe remonstrated. ; "May I ask, madame, wbat objec tion you can possibly have to tbe marriage ?" said be, with considera ble sternness in his manner. "What objection I why tbe girl is a beggar; I have employed ber in my family to keep ber out of tbe almshouse, which, I think is objec tion enough," replied Mrs. Mason, disliking the interference of Uncle Joseph. "Your son, I think, is not weal thy, so that he need demand a rich wi'fe." . " He need Dot marry a beggar, though." " Sbe is worthy a prince, beggar tht.ugb the is." " O, very likely," sneered the lady. " I owe my life to ber, and I can never cease to be gratefal to ber. When others forsook me, the was con stant," replied Uncle Joseph, point edly. ' "She knew you were rich," said Mrs. Mason, sarcastically. "So did you and your amiable daughter. You were like aDgels round my pillow till the doctor said 'ship fever,' when you fled like sheep." The lady looked black as a thunder cloud. "I trust you will withdraw your objections to this marriage, Mrs. Ma son. You perceive hat Charles is resolute, and will have bis own way about it," continued Uncle Joseph, in a more pliable tone. " His own way ! All this for bad advising! I cannot prevent it, per haps ; bnt I will never consent to it. Nw! a son of mine shall never have my consent to marry a beggar girl" "Madame, she is no longer a beg gar. She is the heiress of all my fortune," said Uncle Joseph with sudden energy. Mrs. Mason's brow contracted. "And Henrietta?" said she. "Never touches a penny ! She de serted me when I most needed a friend," replied tbe bachelor, vehe mently. "If I had ten thousand for tunes they would be but a poor return for all tbat Grace bas done for me. I make over fifty thousand dollars to the newly-married couple as soon as the knot is tied ; tbe residue st my decease.' Tbe m irriage took place soon after. Tbe ceremony took place at the bouse of Mr. Mason, iu spite of the opposition of his wife; for when the merchant said it bbould be so, be Dad tbe firmness to carry bis point. Tbe newly-married couple took up their residence iu a beautiful house. purchased for them by Uncle Joseph, wbo consented to make bis borne wub tbem. Henrietta is now five-aud-thiny years or age, aud. an "old maia. Mrs. Mason still couunues to be a termagant, though her busbaud main tains bis iotegntj with firmness and decision. Sbe bus never forgiven Uncle Joseph for making Grace the heiress, aud probably never will But the worthy bucbelor neaer ceases to rejoice over tbe disposition he has made of bis property, and probably he never will.

They're tbe awfalest people to borrow things that I ever saw. Coffee, and sugar, aod butter. and flour 1 don't mind so mncb, al though when a woman borrows high priced sugar aad Java coffee, and sends back sand and chickory, a man naturally feels bilious and mad. But thei've borrowed pretty near every thing ia tbe bouse. First its one thing, and tben its another, from morning till night, right straight along. Now there is tbe poker. A poker's a piece of machinery tbat you'd think anybody might go around and buy, or if they couldn't afford it they might use a fence paling to shake up tbe fire. But Mrs. Thompson seems to tanker after our poker. Sbe borrows it fifteen cr twenty times a day, and last Saturday she sent for it thirty-four times, bbe pays a boy two dollars a week to run over and borrow tbat poker; and she's used it so much tbat it's all bent up like a corkscrew. "Now take chairs, for instance. She asks us to lend ber our chairs three times a day at every meal; and sbe borrows tbe rocking chair when ever sbe wants to put the baby to sleep. A couple a times sbe sent over for a sofa, and when tbe boy came back with it be said Mrs. Thompson was as mad as thunder, and kept growling around tbe house all day because there was no castor on it. Last Monday she borrowed our wash-boiler, and we bad to jut off onr wash till Tuesday. She did her preserving in it, and tbe conse quence was all onr clothes were full of preserved peaches. I've got an undershit on now that I'm mighty doubtful if I'll ever get off, its stuck to me so tight Every now and then sbe bas company, and tben sbe bor rows our hired girl and all tbe parlor furniture; and once, because I wouldn't carry tbe piano over for ber, and take down the cbaudalier, she told our girl tbat there were rumors about town tbat I was a reformed pi rate. . "Perfectly scandalous! They think nothing of sending over after a cou ple of bedsteads or tbe ent'y carpet ; aod tbe other day Thompson Bays to me; "Butterwick, does yonr pump log pull up easy ?" and when I said I thought mebb it did, be said: " ell, I'd like to borrow it for a lew days till I can get one, for mine's all rotted away." Tbe only wonder to me is that be didn't try to borrow the well aloug witb it. "And tben, on Thursday, Mrs. Thomson sent tbat boy over to know if Mrs. Butterwick wouldn't lend her our front door. Sbe said theirs was away being painted and she was afraid tbe baby would catch cold. When I asked bim wbat he supposed we were going to do to keep comfort able without aay frontdoor, be said Mrs. Thompson said sbe reckoned we migbt tack up a bed quilt or some thing. And when I refused, tbe boy said Mrs. Thompson told bim, if I wouldn't send over the front door, to ask Mrs. Butterwick to lend her a pair of striped stockings and a horse bair bustle, and to borrow the coal scuttle till Monday. Wbat in the name of Moses she is going to do witb a bustle and a coal Seattle I can't conceive. "But they're tbe most extraordina ry people ! Last Fourth of July, was it r" Yea laat Fourth of July tb boy came over and told Mrs. Butter wick tbat Mrs. Thompson would be much obliged if she'd lend her the twins a few minutes. Said Mrs. Thompson wanted 'em to suck off a new bottle top, because it made ber baby sick to taste fresh India rub ber! Cheeky, wasn't it? But that's her way. She don't mind it any more! Why, I've known ber to take off our Johnny's pants when he's been playing over there with tbe chil dren, and send bim borne bare-legged to tell bis mother tbat she'd burrow ed tbem for a pattern. And on Thompson's birthday she said her bouse was so small for a party that if we'd lend her ours, we might come in late in the evening and dance witb the romps uy if we wouldn't let on tbat sbe didn't live there! Yes sir; I'm going to move. I'd rather live next door to a lunatic asylum and have the maniacs pouring red but shot over tbe fence every hour of the day. I would indeed." Seleetlaa Seeds. The impression tbat care is usefu' in the selection of seed for sowing is a very general one; and yet people bardly kuow wbat is tbey would se lect. Some like lo take early seed, aud otbera seed from certain poriious ot tbo aeed-vessel or stalk. S.me ex periments made recently at the Ger man expermieuial station at Leipsic, indicate that tbe size of tbe feed bas more to do wiib the idea of an excel leut seleciiou than auy other test. Peat, aod beans were taken from pack ages as generally sown, aud the lar gest and heaviest selected from tbe rest An equal u umber of the large aud small ones were then planted, as uearas good culture would admit together, aad then treated in every respect tbe same The result was that ia every instance the plant from the large seed was larger and health' er, and tbe product considerably more than from tbe plants raised from tbe smaller sizes. How far this rule will apply is an open question; still the results as giv en here were eo uniform through all tbe plants tested, tbat tbey would seem to establish the rule. We be lieve in some instances tbe product was nearly one-third more and if this is to be tbe case always we would employ our time to no better advantage than in riddling all seeds sown, so as to are only those that would not pass through a rather large mesh for the size of tbe seeds. It may be observed that those re marks do not apply to wbat we have recently said in regard to feed pota toes, because tbe potato which we cut up for planting is only a seed by courtesy. Tbe eye, thesingle eye, is the analogue of tbe seed we are here speaking of; and if that single eye is strong and good, the size of the po tato tbat bears it is of no consequence at all. These experiments with seeds are so easily repeated, and tbe results, if tbey come always the same, so valu able practically tbat it would be well to repeat tbem. The habit of trying experiments is at any rate a good one, and every ooe should cultivate tbe natural disposition which prompts all of os to make tbem. - It took Sir Isaac Newton less than three years to thoroughly digest tbe principles of gravitation, while an Indiana farmer has spent eleveu years trying to find out why a cow never kicks until the pall is two-thirds Kna Advertisements.
