rein his cschindtory colt, “ I found her anything
but that, I tell you. ' I never knew the lady
when the lived in town, but a more taciturn
body I never saw than I found her.”
“ Indeed!” I remarked, “ then there must
have been a change, truly.”
“ I met Somers in the depot,” continued Bur
ner, “and he was very glad to see m?, inqui
ring after his old friends, and you with the rest.
Through all his joy, however, I saw that there
was.a vein of sadness; and when I alluded to
his family he appeared embarrassed, and dis
posed to change the subject. I had no object in
wew In visiting Eamshead, other than change of
scene, and did not intend to remain there buti a
day or. two; but meeting Somers led me to think
that it would not be a bad thing to tarry there
awhile, seeing that there was a beautiful pond
of water in the vicinity, os I had seen from the
oarers I came along, and a deep wood, denoting
game. 'Somers used to be great on those things

but-insteadof manifesting any interest in the

“ Burner, I hasn’t taken a pole in hand, hc|r

and I never shall again.”
I looked at him with astonishment, but I
Jmew that he was sincere. . I fancied that!saw
a tear in his intelligent eye, my heart drew
stronger towards him than ever. I then quite
jesplyed to stay, and prdercd the porter of the

He hesitated a few moments, and then said
with considerable emotion:
“Well, Burner, old frienship is stirring up
within me, and I shall do at its prompting that

Yon remember how happy I was." There was not
a “ an m the world who had more friends, true
friends, than I had. My home was a happy one
r-my wife was pleasant, my children handsome
and intelligent. You never saw my wife, friend
Burner?”
My name, in the connection, sounded like an
imprecation upon his wife, and the Buraer a
wrathful expletive—“ burn her” Somers con.
tinned;—
“ When we moved up here things went on in
pretty much the same pleasant way, until there
came to the village a lady whom I had formerly
kown, and about whom and myself there had
been a little gossip in old days. Our acquaint
ance was renewed, and I visited her several
times; made no concealment of my intimacy
with her, and invited my wife to accompany me,
but she declined. She wished to make no new
acquaintances, she said. There was a frequent
visitor at my house—a relative of my wife’s
who poisoned her ears with suspicions that it
was not right between May Brennon and myself.
e repeated the old gossip, with additions, and
spoke of my visits to Miss Brennon, and hinted
at criminality, as that nasty-minded class always
will, who, having small virtues of their own and
depraved fancies, conjure up impure conceits re
garding their neighbors imputing lasciviousness
and wrong where the strictest purity might not
occasion to blush. I’was returning home
one spmmer evening, on foot, having spent the
day in business at a town a few miles from this,
when, by a strange chance, a short distance from
towb, I inet Miss Brennon. It was pure accident
that fought us together, and she turned back
prs Tp', .

the weather was warm, and stopped a moment
on the fustic bridge yonder, to look down into
the Stream, and eay a few pleasant words about
old times. I saw some One pass us as we stood
there, but was indifferent as to whom it might
be, and bidding my companion good-bye I went
home,as happy as a lord, in anticipation of see
ing the ones there that I loved so well. I met
with a cold reception. My bane was sitting
with my wife in counsel, and I read judgment on
the face that had too many times lately turned
unkindnesson me.
“ S° you’re come, Mr. Bjrpocrite, hare you?”
was the first salutation.
“ Certainly, my dear* I have com*” I replied

She as though she were confused. I

I saw by her organism that she was notnatural

had -vowed perpetual silence at the unkind words
of her husband, and that it only needed a sin
gle word to break the spell that rested upon her.
X continued my engineering, making all mao
-ner of domestic Inquiries regarding the children,
of whom she appeared very fond, but could not
elicit a word from her. I next alluded to her
husband and our old acquaintance, and in the
course of my remarks made some reflections in
way upon the slight blemish in one of
his eyes—-the only fault in his really handsome
foce. I saw a feeling like chagrin flit across
her brow, and a moment after, when I praised |
him, a pleased expression effaced the cloud.
“Aha!” said I to myself, “here are pride
and affection, At any rate; these springs have
not dried up and I think that language may yc
be unsealed/’
A day passed, but nothing transpired save
manoeuvres, I-have never tried so hard to make
myself attractive as on this occasion, and felt
that I had succeeded when on tne second mor
ning she greeted me with a smile, and extended
her hand to tne as I came from my chamber.
I chatted and tattled on about the town and its
splendors, told of now improvements, changing
fashions, crinoline and lovely bonnets, all of
which was listened to with evident interest—
Still she wouldn’t speak, confound it! I trem
bled for my spurs. Something must be done.
“ Mrs. Somers,” paid I very suddenly, “ will
yon allow me to look at the palm of your hand ?”
She extended her hand very readily, and I
gaped upon it as though I were a wizard enga
ged in some trick of necromancy, involving the
fate of the household. Looking in her face, I
relinquished her hand and sighed deeply. She
appeared surprised, and seemed as if expecting
me to say something.
“You may rireli be surprised at my conduct,”
I said,'“ but your surprise would be overwhel,

[ however, that in yonrhand I discern
’ a poorer that may be employed for- immense
good. There are lines in it that meet and di
*«g«» and come near ■ together i again without
meeting. There is a mystery I" f T looked at
the hand sgain, robbed my forehead as though
I were much perplexed, and went out abruptly.
I saw her face depicted in the glass as I passed
out, and it bore the expression of greatwonder.
“ How far is it to the top of Battlesnake Hill,
Somers!” I asked at dinner time, as we sat at
tabic. .... ■ ■■■- ■
“ About fifteen miles ; why 7” he replied.
**?? canBe g°*Pg here to-night. I must
be there at precisely midnight .lam going to
gather a charm from the old Battler’s care,
through which I-hope to obtain a treasure that
will compensate for all trouble and danger.”
‘ Yoa cannot go,’ said he anxiously, * the way
is onh of pieril. It is full of ravines and pitfalls,
and the serpents are very numerous.”
I saw that his wife shared 'in his uneasiness,
and her looks said “don’t go]” plainer than
words could speak. V
“So much the (better for my purpose,” said 1
“ were it not attended with danger, that which
* seek would be valueless.; I shall go; and
more than this, I shall walk.”
Somers and his wife changed looks, which I
interpreted to mean, “Well, isn’t he a queer
one ?” and after a few moments at table I left
the. honse telling Somers that I should be back
by ihe morning. ; I accordingly struck out
Btoutiy for Battlesnake Hill, accompanied by
his utter blessing and his • wife's inarticulate
bension ; but when I reached the first brook, I
made my cane into a jointed fishing rod, and in
dulged tin sundown in the finest sport The
trout never bit with more avidity; and having
caught a goodly string, I carried them to a
farm-house' not far away, and had them cooked
for my supper. Late in the evening I returned
to my friend Somer’s, and enjoyed a fiqe night's
rest Upon his haymow. At daylight I aroused
the family by knocking at the door, but I greet
ed them with a simple shake of the hand, ga
zing abstractedly at Mrs. Somers. She looked
troubled.
“ Somers,” said I “pJe„e leave me .mo
ment with your wife. It is a matter that you
know, but not at present Have
you not heard of my wonderful developements
as a seer?”
He said he had not, but, without explaining,
I pusheihim out and closed the door I knew
that he would, listen however.
Mrs. Somer's,” said I, “my mysterious
movements are fast growing to a climax, I
last night plucked a dragon’s tongue from the
month of the rattlesnake’s den; I laughed with
the -midnight echoes, and stood faqe tofacq with

about the room with the wildness of a madman.'
She dhi not seem to comprehend what she had
done for an
that she had spoken, and divined the meaning
of my cabalistic efforts, she came new fainting
.with her emotion. • - c -

pot speaking. She,, bad: vowed perpetual ■ si*
fence, and had kept her vow until brought to
utter one word, by stratagem, which had un
sealed her tongue again. The children were
delighted, and ran all around the neighborhood
telling every body that their mother cOuld fadirj
and every body rushed in to ascertain what it
meant. For a time it seemed as though anar
chy and confusion had become instated on Tim
Somer’s hearthstone, to makeup the silence that
had so long brooded there; but he bore it all

5 . Tomato Wm*.4-The following recipe for ma
king-an excellent article of tomato wine, is com
i® an agricultural paper by a gentle
inan *hq'tried it successfully last season:—
“ To a Dushel of sound, ripe tomatoes cut, add
fdPr gallons of water. Let the mixture stand
in an open tub three days, stirring two or three
times each day; then strain through a sieve—
To each gallon of the clear liquid add three
pounds of brown sugar, stir until the sugar is
thoroughly dissolved, after which it'is not to be
disturbed for three days, except to take off the
scum as it rises. Then strain the liquor through,
muslin or muslin bags, and put it in a cask filled
to the top of the bung hole. There must bo a
surplus of liquor to re-placo what fermentation
throws off, as the cask is to be kept full. As
soon as fermentation becomes feeble, (which is
usually at the end of a week from the time the
cask is filled,) dissolve half an ounce best isin
glass in a portion of the liquor, put it in the
cask and bung tightly. Half an ounce of isin
glass is sufficient for ten gallons. Place the cask
in the cellar, with the spigot in, so that the wine
can bo drawn off for bottling, without disturb
ing the,sediment. , The proper time for bottling
is the following. May. The trine is good when a
year old, but continues to improve ; for' toveral
years. Two and a half bushels of tomatoes trill

spite of his (in his opinion) unjust punishment,
he should preach at a given time, a sermon bn
“another rich man. The populace was greatly
excited, and a crowded house greeted his ap
pearance. With great solemnity he opened the

the Telocity of light. House and land, stock
and share, mortgage and bill—everything has
its aps and downs; but that which change last i
is the three' per cents. The commercial spirit
loves their modest faithful, constant character,
their equal mind, their moderation in prosperity
their firmness in adversity, their help in the
time of need, their., open,' honest countenance,
