THE MINER'S STORT. "By the grace of God, I am what I am." I was born in London, and I re member nothing but poverty—stalk ing crime and absolute want. The houses where I lived were iu various s'ages ot filth and decay. Whether the old blear eyed man who kicked ami commanded me was my father I never knew. Whether the woman who sometimes fed and often beat me ! was my mother. I cinnot say. All I know is, that I had a miserable drag about life of it, going round after cold victuals, knocking smaller boys down to get the contents of their broken bas kets, and hunting for old rags in the | gutter. I suppose I was rtflier a good look- j ing boy; they call mr* goixl looking j now for an old man. I know I was ( smart, comparing myself with ehil- j dren as I see them. Of course I was like the rest of my class, I could Sght a little, -.wear a lit- j tie and steal a little, and eat a good | deal, that is, when I got the chance, j which was soldom. I was ignorant— i I didn't know one letter from another, ' and didn't want to. What Gil I care ; about education—l, who never saw a , book from one year-' end to another? ' And love, gratitude, hope, I could of ; course understand neither. Nobody j loved me, therefore I loved nobody.— j Nobody had ever made nie grateful— ! had ever held out hope to me. Borne strange imp llse was given rue , one day. I waked up, sprang from j my bundle of straw, and involuntary j the words came from my lips, "I am going to do something today." \V hat that something was, I. had not the re- s niotest idea, but I put on my apolo j gies for clothes, and sallied out in my j vagabond way whistling, raring for j nobody. It was about noon, and I had not | yet ta-ted a mouthful of food. I was hungry, and skulked about grocery j shops, hoping I could get an opportun- j ity to take something that would stay my appetite, till I felt in the humor ! fir begging. Passing round the cor- j ner of a public street, I saw a genteel- j looking man, standing at his horse's | head, gazing about him somewhat per- I plexed. "Boy," he cried, "won't you j take care of my-hor-e for half an _ hour?" "Yes sir," said I. I think it was the first time that I ever put on the "sir." "There's a man!" he exclaimed. I've got considerable fruit here and you must guard it well. "Here's a couple of peaches for you; just stand here quietly—nobody'li disturb you." He went away, <>-'* * -Good c * while till I was tired. Then, thinks I, "I'll get a hatful cf fruit and run." But for the first time .1 felt an in stinct of shame at the suggestion. "He trusted me—he saw I was a , mean looking fellow, too ; but he trus- j ted me and I won't abuse his kind ness." Something like this reasoning ran j in my head, and I squatted down on the curb stone feeling the importance j of an honorable trust as I had hever feit , such a thing before. Presently some ; of my fellows came along and hailed j me. I told them to go on. They peered about the cart, and saw the sun- j ny faces of the peaches. "We'll have ; some of them," they said. "No you won't" says I, "I'm put j in charge here, and I won't see the first thing stole." With that they began a rumpus. They reached over the cart. I struck them, and used such efforts that they all came pell-mell upon me, and we fought till the blood came; but j I vanquished them. Just then out came the proprietor. "What's the matter ?" says he. "Oh, nothing; only I had to fight for your stuff here," says I. "Youdid, eh? You've got a black eye for it." "No matter," says I. "I mean them boys shouldn't steal a peach, and they didn't neither." "Well, youv'egood pluck—here's a crown for you." My eyes stood out. "A whole crown," says I. "Yes; do what you please with it, but I'd advise you to buy a pair of shoes." "Thank you, says I, with a beating heart. It pays to be good don't it ?" j He smiled a curious smile, askeu me I several questions, and ended by taking me home with him. Home! I thought I was in heaven, allieit I have seldom heard of such a a place. My heart beat heavily every ti trie I dared put my foot upon those rich carpets. Hie mirrors were some thing new to me. The next day there came a man to see me. I was washed dean and had on a good suit of clothes. Says he "Youngster, I am going to i where you live, and probably shall make a bargain with your people. I want a boy, just such a bold clever boy as you are, and if you behave yourself, I promise you that you shall have as pleasant a home as you de sire." Well, that was good. I hardly dar ed to speak or breathe, for fear of breaking the illusion. I never was so happy as I was that day. They gave rue light tasks to do, I wished they were uiore important. From that day I was treated as one of the household. The man was a widower, and had no children; consequently, I b.caine to him as a.son, He educated me hand* sotnely, and when 1 was twenty one he died, and left me three thousand pounds. Weil, i considered myself a rich man. I gloated over my wealth ; it became au idol to me. How to in crease it was my first desire. I consul ted competent men, and under their counsel I put my money out oa in terest, bought stocks and mortgages. I grew vrealthier; ray business '"ray benefactor had stocked me a fancy shop) prospered, and I was in a lair way, I thought, to marry Lucy M gn _ ! ning. Sweet Lucy Manning! the most art- i less, winning maiden in all the world ! to me. I loved her deeply, dearly, She was bine-eyed, auburn-haired, her disposition was that of an angel, and I had plighted ray vows to her. One night I was invited to the house of a prosperous merchant, and 'here I met a siren in the person of hi 9 niece, a liiack eyed girl, whose charms and whose fortunes were equally splendid, j She was an heiress in her own right, ; \va> beautiful and accomplished. Heavens, what a voice was hers— j pure, clear, sweet, ravishing! I was i charmed, and she was pleased with j me. Alas, I met her too often ! In her prt-ence I forgot my gentle Lucy ; she magnetized, thrawled me. It was triumph to feel that so beauti ful, gifted, and wealthy a woman lov ed me—me, who had been brought up in the jiurleous of a city, who had known misery and corruption all the first yea's of my life. Gradually I broke off my intimacy j with Lucy. I received no token from . her, she was too proud. But that cheek grew pale, that eye languid, i and though I seldom met her, I knew i in my heart that she was suffering, and I branded myself a villain. At last she knew with certainty that I was to marry Miss Beliair. She sent me a letter, a touching letter, not one word- f upbraiding nor one of regret. Oli, what a noble soul I wounded ! But she could calmly wish rne joy, j though the effort made her heart bleed. I knew it did. I tried however to forget her. I could not. Even at my magnificent | wedding, when my bride stood before j me, rudiant in rich fabrics and glitter- ! ing diamonds, the white face of poor ; Lucy glided in between, and made my heart throb guiltily. Oh, how rich I grew! Year after year I added to ! my goid. My miserly disposition be gan to manifest itself soon after inv marriage. I carried my gold first to banks, and then to my own private safes. I put constraint on my wife, for very generou ly she had made over j her whole fortune to me, and began to • grumble at the expenses. I made our j living so frugal that she remonstrated, j and finally run up large bills where ; and when she pleased. Against this I protested, and we bad open quarrels more than once. My clothes grew shabby, I could not afford to buy new ones, although the interest of my investments was more than I could possibly spend for ration f grew finally dissatisfied with ev- | erything but my money. I neglected my wife, and grew careless of her soci ety. Several gentlemen came to my i house, among them a would-be author and celebrity. He came, I thought too I often for my good .name, and I order- , ed my wife to discontinue his com- , pauy. She refused and I locked her in j her room. How she managed to set i hersejf free I never knew; but in the , evening, when I returned, she was j gone from the house. That caused me some uneasiness; not much, for I was j soon absorbed in taking account of my j gains. It was, perhaps, nine in the evening, I had just managed to take up a paper for a moment to read out its business 1 details, when the door opened, and in i came my wife, dressed bewitchingly, j as if just from an evening concert, fol fiwed by that moustached celebrity.— "Good evening, my dear," she said in the coldest way imaginable, and plac- i ed a chair fot Iter friend, "s'top!" 1 1 cried; my jealousy aroused; "that man sits not down in my house." "That man—a gentleman and my friend, shall sit here if I please!" said I my wife, firmly. My passion was excited then as it never was before, and I collared the scoundrel. He was n;y match ; but my wife put a dirk-knife that she drew from a cane into his hand, and he stabbed me. I Stinted, and I remem bered nothing more till I found my self on abed in my own chamber, watched over by tnv housekeeper. "Where are they?" I gasped. "Gone !" was all she said. It occurred to me then, like a flash oflightning, that somebody was npar ! me at the time I was wounded, that ! my keys were about my person, and | that I had been robbed, perhaps, of all ■ my available property. The thought threw me into an agony of fear. I ordered my clothes to be brought to me. The keys were there, i Taking one of them out, I told Mr-, i Hale, my housekeeper to go to my j safe, and bring me the papers that were ; there. She returned, her face whib? I with terror, to say there was nothing there, all the little doors were open. "Robbed! robbed!" I yelled with imprecations, and again my senses de serted rne. Brain fever endued, For weeks I lay deprived of rea-.on, literally tread ing the verge of the grave. One morn ing I was conscious only of a sinking, deadly feeling, as J feebly opened my eyes. Was if an angel I saw standing beside me, her soft eyes full of pity, looking down upon trie with the most commiserating gentleness. For a mo ment I thought 1 might be in heaven; but no, I reasoned with myself—My treasure was all of the earth, earthly. Again I opened my dim eyes. The vision seemed wavering now, but oh, did it not wear the beauty of sweet Lucy Manning? A quiet, unutterable peace took possession of my entire be ing. I forgot wealth, health, every thing. My past life seemed blotted oat, and I was again innocent, un t juebed by the griping hand of avar i -e, true, loving, and loved—and Lucy Manning was mv idol. But I recovered slowly and at I aid, a* my strength surely returned I litis sed her. As soon as she saw 1 could be left with safety, she had left me; and oh, what a blank—the dreadful blank ! I wondered around my rooms now so desolate, and saw many evi dences of my miserly habits. I know not why, but towards my wife my feelings seemed io have un dergonD a revulsion. I fear I hated her. She had nearly l*ggared me, had deceived and shattered myhealfk, destroyed hll my hopes Months passed before I was able to estimate the damage that had been done nie. Every means that could be put forth were u-ed for the di-CO very of my money, but all in vain. One night I sat by the fire, a cheer less, disappointed, and lonely man. I had been thinking thoughts that only burned my brain, but did not purify my heart. 'IfI had only married sweet Lucy,' I said, again and again, 'all this had not been so.' My housekeeper came in with a let ter—an unusual large package u was, and as it bore a foreign postmark, I o jiened it with a trembling hand ? What was that? A rustling, crumpled bank-note! Another and another came forth, until there laid upon my knees twenty bills of the largest de nomination. A few trembling lines accompanied them: "MY* HUSBAND: lam dying! My disease—there is no need in telling you. Forgive me, and accept the en closed as a faint effort toward restitu tion. Jt is not much over half of what we took from the safe. The rest is—l know not where. lam desert ed. Farewell, forever!" An icy ehill thrilled me. It seemed as if her spectral presence was near me. I shuddered as I rolled the bills together, and throw thom across the room. "Lie there, curse of my soul!" I cried. "Lie there till I have conquer ed myself! ay, if the victory is not won till you are rotten !" I shut the door and sealed it, and for six months I toiled like a penniless man, till I had partially redeemed myself By managing cautiously, I placed my business on a successful footing, and began life again, a new man. It took many a year to wear off my i old habits of parsimony, but every ef fort gave me a new and agreeable sur prise. Meantime Lucy Manning be came dearer to me than she had ever j been in the flush of youth. I entreat ed her forgiveness! humbled myself i to a eoufession, tested myself in all j ways, and convinced her at last that I j was as worthy now as once I was or.ly ; in seeming. On the day of my wedding, I open ed the door the sealed. The bank notes- lay where I had flung them. I took them up with the pride of a con queror, aud placing them in her hands, exclaimed, "They are now no longer my masters ; use them as you will." Now I am a man .'—redeemed from the thralldom of eovetousness. I have i three blooming children, Lucy is an angel of goodness, and I write myself as I did at the beginning, "By the grace of God, I am what I an.." LADIES' READING.

One or two applications of butter milk will destroy lice on cattle, and is a safe remedy to drive off the vermin. In pruning very young pear trees, the object should be to encourage the' growth of wood in proper directions, rather than production of fruit at the expense of retarding lh** develop ment of the trees. A New Yorker says that cows should be salted every morning, and if in the stable, before foddering, but never aft er taking water. This is the practice of the be>t stock-keepers in Switzer land, and he thinks much preferable to Pilting them once or twice a week, or to keeping it constantly within their reach.

Trimming Shade Tree*.— Such farm ers as have shade trees in different parts of their farm can improve their appearance greatly, as well as add to their utility, by cutting the top branch off. This will cause the branches of the tree to spread horizontally, and render it much better adapted to the purpose for which it was intended. A Correspondent of the Western Rur al thinks that the ground is the best bed for hogs, as he thiuks it warm e nough, and a valuable disinfectant.— To prevent the hogs making distinct beds, he advises laying down flat stones, and then covering with four tr five inehes of earth. He pre suppeses a good house, built of brick or stone sides. Fowls eating each others' feathers. — This propensity only come to those that fue in confinement. Birds that are at liberty never fall into it. It a rises from a bad state of body ; this is caused by confinement and depriva tion of something they get when they are at liberty.

Beet Sugar. —The Fond du Lac (Wis.,) Commonwealth, gives a descrip tion of a beet-sugar factory which em ploys twenty-four hands, and has a capacity for making one thousand pounds of sugar daily. The owners planted eighty acres of beets the pres ent year, and the next propose to in crease their area to one huudred and sixty. The roots, and the success of the enterprise is deemed beyond ques tion. The successful management of a farm especially in this age of progress, re quires thought not less than hard work. Something more needs to be done than scatter the seed and reap the harvest. What to plant, in order to be t derably certain to obtaiu a good price .for the product; in what soil, as to quality and rotation of crops; and Ju-t when to cultivate, and with what imple ments, secure the best results— F.!': these things need to be considered. Tho comparative leisure of winter is the b ?st Utile to think of these questions. Now is the time to lay out the spring campaign, and to prepare the means for prosecuting it vigorously. The best food for horses affected with the heaves, is such as is nutri tious and succulent, and should be con densed into as small a compass as pos sible! Dry and ducty hay is injurious, and makes the animal wheeze distress ingly. Moistened ground feed, pota toes. carrots, and rutabagas, are the best fcod for animals having the dis ease, and if the water to drink would be given to the horse out of a cask with slaked lime at the bottom and stirred occasionally, it would material ly lessen the difficulty of breathing. Persons owning horses afflctied with the heaves, and neglectingto feed and and treat ihem properly, should be visited by Mr. Bergh or some other member of that humane society, and admonished that it is contrary to law to oppress poor dumb brutes. Many thousands of dollars are lost annually in cousequenee of planting poor seed. Acres of old and worthless carrot, beet, onion, and similar seeds are sown every year, which might be avoided if every one who is growing such crops would take the trouble ot testing a few of the seeds previous to sowing. The loss of preparing the ground aud sowing is usually far more than the cost of the seeds, gener ally when their worth iessness is dis covered the season is too far advanced to remedy the evil. It is a very easy matter to start a tew seeds in pots or boxes, and deter mine what proportion wilt grow, with out running the risk of losing a crop in addition to the cost of preparing the soil and sowing— Hearth ainf Home. To Rejuvenate Old Grapevine&. —The editor of tlie Praeticul Parmer says : Having on our premises, planted by former owners, probably twenty years ago, half a dozen old grapevines, with large weather-beaten trunks of stems, which made annually but little new wood, and yielded but very few poor grapes, two seasons ago we out off the branches, and laid the main stems down in trenches, covering with about a foot of earth. Vigorous and healthy shoots sprang up in great abundance, the weak ones of which were broken off, and leading ones, at a proper dis tance, trained to the arbor. The new gruwths are now clean, healthy and strong—sufficient entirely to cover the large mlior the present season; we now look for bushels of fruit from the n *w-bearing wood. We see old grape vines everywhere doing no good, and which could lie madeyoungand thrifty by this process.
