"And so this is the way that Edgar Morton repays his benefactor and the father of his affianced bride ! Yet no ! it cannot be. I will stake my life on that young man's innocence. As I spoke, there came a gentle tap at the door, followed almost immediately by the entrance'of a lady, deeply veiled, who at once threw aside her veil, disclosing the face of my deceased friend's daughter, Cecile Randolph. "Excuse me, Mr. Furguson, for• enter ing uninvited; but urgent business im pels me." "Be seated, Miss Randolph," I said, rising and handing her a chair. "0, Mr. Furguson !" she sobbed forth, burying her face in her bands, "That I should ever be obliged to come on such an errand as this ?" Reporters /Or Coort. I endeavored to quiet her, and partially succeeded, when I drewfrom her what few particulars she knew regarding her fath er's death. "He retired last night, at his usual hour, apparently in good spirits, and no sound was heard during the night to cause alarm. In the morning as he tidied to appear at breakfast, a servant was dis patched to summon him. Knocking at the door, and receiving .no answer, he finally opened it. and advanced into the room. What a sight did he then behold ! My poor father lay upon his bed, with his throat cut from ear td ear ! Death must have coma to hint suddenly—so suddenly as to prevent any outcry—and . the un known assassin had no trouble in making his escape." "But," I said, "I can't see why any one should suspect Edgar of the murder." "This is the moat mysterious part of the sad affair. When Edgar was told of the murder, he turned very pale,' reeled, and would have fallen to the pound had not support been given hint. Some of the ig norant beholders of this scene thought his actions denoted guilt, and an officer was summoned, who at once insisted on searching his room. A razor, on which were several spots of blood, was found concealed under the carpet, together with an old suit of clothes belonging to Edgar, which were bespattered with blood. This was considered sufficient evidence to war rant his arrest, and he now lies iu jail, charged with the awful crime of murder. Oh, Mr. Ferguson ! if you can do any thing to save him, and at the same time bring the guilty perpetrator of this deed to justice, I will amply reward you."

I asked. ...$54154 23 "Oh, sir," she replied, it was not done for robbery, as everythingin the room was as fiither left it the night before.

"Now, then, who of all your acquain tances could do such a thing?" ••I cannot possibly say.

"Only this : Some time ago, Conrad, whom we have always regarded as one of the family proposed for my hand, and I told him it was not mine to give. sus pected as much,' he muttered ; and then, whilst his face grew dark, and his features assumed an appearance perfectly fearful, he continued, "but you shall never become the wife of Edgar Morton while I have life to prevent it." He then wheeled about, and abruptly left my presence. I was considerably alarmed, and thought of speaking to father about it; but during the forenoon he returned and begged my forgiveness for the words he had used, and made such professions of sorrow in re gard to them that I freely forgave him, wild have since thought no more of the matter."

His plan included Morton's ex ecution as the murderer, the possession of your hand and the estate, so there was no motive for small robbery—at least, this is my reading of the case. Now, then, I want to see the body of your father and the room in which the deed was done." "Well, sir," she said, rising and pre paring to accompany me, "you will find everything as it was when first discovered; the officers concluded not to disturb any thing until after the inquest, which takes place to-morrow forenoon !"

Aorg-gella. Saved by a Zak A very little thing will sometimes save a man's life. as the following story will show. While reading the evening paper, I noticed something which interested me at once, "What's this ?" I said, as my eyes lighted on a startling, paragraph : "MYSTERIOUS MCIRDER.—J. Randolph, one of our old and wealthy citizens, was ' this morning found in his room, having been murdered during the night. Edgar Merton, a clerk in his employ, and who, report says, was soon to be married to his daughter, has been arrested for the mur der, and circumstances are said to be strongly against him." Now, although I am usually among the first to hear of criminal news, from the nature of my business, this was the first intimation I had received that such a mur der had been committed, having been out of town during the day. As I had been on the best of terms with Mr. Randolph and his whole fhmily, it occurred to me at once that my advice would be sought. set out, and, after a brisk walk of ten min utes, reached the palatial residence of my companion. I was at once shown to the room of the murdered man, and then be gan making such an examination as only a detective kows how to make. Circum stances of the most trivial character, which would be overlooked by an ignorant per son, are often seized upon by a skillful detective, and sometimes constitute most damning evidence of' guilt. In this case, however, everything had been done in the most skillful manner, and I could not succeed iu making any discoveries. I was about to leave the room in des pair, when, glancing toward the bed, I noticed what appeared to he a light scratch on the neck of the murdered man, jugt, above the gaping would which had so cruelly let nut his life's blood. On exam ination, I found it to be nothing more than a hair, which had in some manner become loosened from the head of the assassin, and had settled on the neck of the vic tim, where it now lay, a silent yet truth fat witness, pointing out the guilty wretch to the eye of justice. The hair was of a deep red color, which was totally unlike that of any of the household. it was, in deed, the same color and shade as that of Conrad Smithley. I placed it carefully in my pocket-book, and saying nothing to no one of my dis covery, started for the residence of Smith ley, intent on doing a little acting. I found kin, as his attendant said, ill in bed, and on no account must he be disturb ed. "Only a ruse," I thought, "to divert suspicien." Stating to the woman that I wantedto see him but for a few moments on the most urgent business, she finally reluctaitly consented to my entrance. I found(him lying on a bed . apparently in greatpain. In my youth I bad studied medicine, aid was consequently well in formal on such :natters, and I saw at -once, with a quick glance, that he was only feign.ng sickness. He started up some what angrily as I entered. but I silenced him vith a motion of my hand. "Cbnrad Smithley, this is a desperate gamcyou are playing, but. it will avail you nothing." • "Vhat do you mean:" he exclaimed springing to his feet, his sickness all gone. Imean that the game is up, and the murderer of . John Randolph is diSCOV ered:' As I had anticipated, he sank into a chair, and burying his face in his hands, sobbed out, "Lost ! lost !" "Do you confess the murder then ?" Recovering himself a little, he ' gasped, "What proofs have you ?" "Enough to hang you, and nothing but a confession can procure you a lighter punishment." I then rapidly detailed to him the circumstances which led to the conviction that be was John Randolph's murderer—his threats, his motives, and finally the unmistakable evidence be had left of his presence at the murdered man's bedside. The last link in the chain com pletely overwhelmed him. He was not an experienced criminal, and he saw no hope for escape. "I confess," he said, "now that conceal ment is no longer of use." I took him at once into custody, and soon had the satisfaction of seeing him change places with Edgar Morton, who was overjoyed at his release. Conrad Smithley was tried for murder, and knowing that any defense would be useless after his confession to me, pleaded guilty and threw himself upon the mercy of the Court, which sentenced him to im prisonment for lift. About a year after, I received an en velope containing an invitation to the wedding of Cecil; Randolph and Edgar Morton, who lived long and happily to gether, and she never ceased thanking me that Edgar was saved by a hair.

The Athens Poet says: "One thing we have noticed feow the time we entered upon our apprenticeship, forty-eight years ago the 10th day of this month, that Prov idence generally smiles benignantly and prosperously upon the. man who keeps himself square on the printer's hooks. You take the subscription list of any country paper where the advance system is not re ligiously adhered to, call out the names of those who pay promptly, then visit their habitations, and in nine cases of ten you will find them in the enjoyment or all the ordinary comforts of life—pleasant and contented households—the husband kind and industrious, the wife happy and affec tionate, children sprightly and well-be haved at home and abroad, sleek cattle grazing in the green pastures, and good stock feeding in the stalls, thrify fruit and shade trees around, flowersblooming in the garden and about the yard, and an air of neatness, comfort and substance without and within. Now take the other class of patrons—those who never pay at all, or have to be dingdonged out of itat the end of the third year; what is still worse, the newspaper sponge, who is not able to pay for a paper, but ever ready to borrow from his neighbor—ten to one you will find a majority of these always afflicted with "short crops," always "hard run," always "out of kelter, axes, plows and hoes eter nally dull ; horses that look like genius of &mine, cattle nearly related to l'haroah's lean king, and too poor to blow without leaning up against the rickety fimce, gates off the hinges, doors half hung,-windows guiltless of glass, not a fruit or shade tree in sight, rank Jamestown weeds blooming around the door sills, and instead of luxu riant meadows and perennial pastures, sas safras and brier bushes growingin the fence corners and broken planes and hill-sides furrowed with gullies, and bunches of tall sedge waving mournfully in the wind all over the farm, and, worse than ail, a mo rose and unhappy husband, a discontented and ill-natured wife, and disobedient, in tractable children."

A pretentious house in a general up town street, and a stylish lady very fash ionably dressed, were the home and the mother of Fred Vincent. A showily dressed maid answered the summons of the mistress. "Are the children in from school yet, Martha ?" "No ma'am—yes, I should say, for that's Master Charlie's ring now." "Well keep them down stairs until din ner ; I want to finish this book in quiet." Before Martha could get down stairs the bounding steps of the romping, rosy checked children, two boys and a girl, were heard on the stairs, and despite Mar tha's remonstrances, they trooped into their mother's presence. "3lamatu, is dinner ready ?" I'm nearly starved !" and hats, bank, straps and sakes were thrown hither and thither on bed and chair. "Mercy ! children, you make me so nervous ; go down and play in the yard until dinner, but where's Fred ?" "Oh, kept in again, of course," said Will. "That boy would worry a saint," said Mrs. Vincent. "He's continually getting into difficulties, and he can never be made to see his faults either." "T'wasn't his fault," spoke up little Charlie, who was Fred's 'champion when others blamed him. "Walter Brent was taken ill iu school—so ill he could hardly walk, and Fred helped him home. Wilen he came back he was too late for recitation in astronomy, and he was kept in for an hour, as punishment. He won't beg off, as we do, when we're called up, and he never cries either ; but he feels badly, I know for he turned pale and fairly trem bled but never said a word." "Yes he's too stubborn to offer au ex cuse. That boy will worry my life out yet. He's so uncommunicative; so reserv ed—never comes and tells me his troubles, like other children. Ah, well, there must always be one black sheep in every flock, they say." As these thoughtless words fell from the mother's lips, Fred, who had just come in, was passing the door. No one but a sensitive boy knew what a pang they gave him. It was not the first time that he heard the remark and had gone to his room. his heart sadly aching ; and when, with burning brow, he made his appearance at the table, his reticence was pronounced sulkiness, and he was often re-, primanded for imaginary faults. "Yes ' • I am the black sheep, surely. Oh why do not my parents love me as they do Charlie, and Will, and Sue? They never take half the pains to please that I do, yet they are always petted and excused if they do not want to do a thing ; but no one cares fur me—no one loves me—l'm so miserable, so unhappy !" Thus year after year passed away, and the misguided parents continued to utter their complaints about Fred's bad dispo sition--4till call him the black sheep, and predicted that his career in life would be discreditable. He grew discouraged and reckless, as his rebuffs and slights at home continued, until he grew up to manhood. With such training he lost self-respect and became a morose, ungracious, cynical misanthrope. His less gifted brothers were popular, and all successful in business, while people held aloof from Fred. He was never un derstoml until too late to remedy the mis take. Heart-broken and dispirited, he sought to bury in oblivion the knowledge of his wrongs by deep draughts of the intoxicat ing bowl. He died unpitied andunmourn ed--a poor, miserable drunkard. As the last flicker of life was dying out, he roused from his stupor, and quite un strung his mother's nerves by exclaiming : "Well, mother; the black sheep will soon be out of the way. God forgive you for the cruel words, but they have been my ruin : Had you encouraged me, given me your sympathy, or let words of kindness cheer my pathway as you did my brothers, I would not have been dying of intemper ance. I had no love for the stimulating draught, but it - brought oblivion of my wrongs, and I drank it—drank it to drown my despairing thoughts." Need we depict the agony and remorse of those parents as they consigned to the grave the remains of their lost son ! Fathers! mothers take warning : Watch carefully and tenderly the tem peraments and dispositions of your children. Encourage them to confide to your willing ears all their trials or perplexities. Make no disparaging remarks to grieve or chill a sensitive nature. Wisdom and discretion, tempered with love are necessary to the proper training of your children, but, above all, have a care that partiality be banished from the hearth stone. The well being and salvation of the precious charge committed by Provi dence to your care, depends on your dis charge of these duties. Will He Succeed? In nine cases out of ten no man's life will be a success if be does not bear bur dens of childhood. If the fondness or the vanity in Etther or mother have kept him from hard labor; if another always helped him out of the end of the row; if, instead of taking his turn at pitching off, lie mow ed away all the time—in shOrt, if what was light always fell to him and what was heavy about the same work to some one else ; if he has been permitted to shirk till shirking has become a habit—unless a mir acle is wrought, his life will be a failure, and the blame will not be half so much his as that of weak, foolish parents. On the other part, if a boy has been brought up to do his part, never allowed to shirk auy legitimate responsibility, or to dodge work, whether or not it made his heart ache or his hands black until bearing heavy burdens becomes a matter of pride, the parents, as they bid him good-by, may dismiss their fears. His life will not be a bbsiness failure. The elements of success are his, and at sometime and in some way the world will recognise his capacity. Take another point. Money is the object of the world's pursuit. It givesbread and clothing and homes and comfort. The world has not judged wholly unwisely when it has made the position a man oc cupies to hinge comparatively more or less on his ability to earn money, and on the amount of his possessions. If he is miser ably poor, it argues some defect in his ex penditures, or a lack of fitnessto cope with men in the battle for gold. When a country boy leaves home it is generally to enter upon some business, the end of which is to acquire property; and he will succeed just in proportion as he has been made to earn and save in his childhood. if all the money he has had comes of planting a little patch in the spring, and selling its produce, after weary months of watching and toil, in the fhll—or from killing woodchucks at six cents a head— or from trapping muskrats and selling their skins for a shilling—setting snares in the fall for game, and walking miles in the morning before the old folks were tip —husking corn for a neighbor, on moon light evenings, at two cents a bushel— working out an occasional day that hard work at home has made possible—he is good to make his pile in the world. On the contrary, if a boy never earned a dollar—if his parents and friends always kept him in spending money—pennies to buy candies and fish-hooks, and to satisfy his imaginative way—and he had grown to manhood in the expectancy that the world will generally treat him with simi lar consideration, he will always be a make shift. And the fault is not so much his as that of those about him who never made the boy depend on himself—did not make him wait nix months to get money to re place a lost jack-knife. Every one has to ride it at one time or another. If the roughing comes in boy hood, it does good: if later, when habits are formed, it is equally tough, but, being educational, is generally useless. And the question whether a young man will succeed in making money or depends not upon his willingness to do "his part," and upon his having earned money, and so gained a knowledge of its worth. Not a little of his valuable experience the country boy gets on the old ihrm, under the tutelage of parents shrewd enough to see the end from the beginning, and to make the labor and grief of children contribute to the suc cess of subsequent life.

NO. 9. tam ui The Cow, As everybody has, or should have a cow, it may be not amiss for me to endeavor to ameliorate the condition of both the cow and her owner; in many cases it will make little difference which I address, the former for the latter, for farmers as a class are proverbial for being slow to learn, and loath to leave the well-worn ruts of fogyism ; plodding has become chronic with many, hence a remedy to be effective must be supernatural, or some sugar-coated humbug. To produce a good cow with any degree of certainty, the breeder will require in the first place to know whatcon stitutes the good cow, before he takes the first step in production, that is, a good cow for the special purpose for which he de signs a cow. If the purpose is to produce a cow that will yield milk of quantity.and quality which will make her profitable in that line, whether as a butter, cheese or milkman's cow, without particular regard to fitness of her, or her offspring for the shambles, great size and superior fattening qualities in the sire and dam are not essen tial; iu fact, these qualities, if they are of a well established breed, might materially distract from the value of the progeny for dairy purposes alone. I n many districts cows are kept exclusively to rear calves, that shall be when matured, large and of superior quality for beef; they nurse their young in many instances, until the calf gets so large and strong that there is danger of butting his dam over the fence, when the calf is weaned, and without re spect to sex, fed for growth and fat, unti: it is ready to slaughter. The cow mean while is in due time put to breed again, many of them not being milked, only suf ficient to prevent injury to the udder, and to properly dry up the flow of milk, for hastening which, scanty, parched pastures, an insufficiency of water, no shade and plenty of flies are effective auxiliaries. Great size, rapid growth, good handling and great fattening qualities are the chief essentials of a cow for this purpose. When the great object is butter, and that of the most superior color and favor; as well as quantity, gieat growth or size of the cow is not important, though early maturing is. To secure the greatest de gree of perfection in the cow for this pur pose she should have the following char acteristics :—The anatomical structure should be delicate and symmetrical, the horns and hoofs small : the limbs short and delicate; the neck thin, tapering, and clean under the throat, and not too short; the head small, broad between the eyes, which' should be full, bright, prominent, and mild in expression; the muzzle fine and tapering, and lips thin; the chest rather narrow; the brisket narrow, and not too deep; the dewlap narrow, and very thin and soft; the skin thin, soft and loose, with a rich yellow cuticle, no matter what the color of the hair may be—the color most desirable, a fawn; the hair long and sift, and partic ularly so on and about the udder; the body rather long; the back straight from should er to root of tail, and broad in the loins; the ribs long and well arched where they articulate with the spine, the side and lower portion of them nearer straight; the stomach and belly large and capacious; the thighs very thin; the veins large and [ prominent, especially those connecting with the udder, and extending forward and permeating the ligaments of the belly; [ the tail long, slim and very tapering, with a full brush; the ears small, this, erect and active ; the udder large and flacid, and projecting well forward, and when empty, very soft and pliable ; the teats all pointing, when full, forward and outward, of good length and quite tapering, with rather a dark color and firm, tough skin, as they are less liable to chap than when too white and delicate; the escutcheon 'first class' and 'order,' according td M. Zuenous' theory; the disposition quiet and passive, and an appetite that is only limit ed by the capacity of the stomach. This last mentioned organ is perhaps as much, if not more dependent on the intelligence [ of the breeder, or rearer of the cow, than any other; and the characteristics of the stomach and belly that I have elaimed to be essential, aro as important in the per -1 feet cow as any other of the long catalogue enumerated. It is impossible that a cow with a trunk like a hound or a race horse should be a great milker. The best cow ever known by the writer was familiarly known as "Old Deformity," on account of having such an immense belly. The - best and most effective means of securing this characteristic in the eow, it will be my purpose to explain, but for want of space I shall be obliged to make it the subject of another chapter.—J. Wilkenson, Baltimore, Md. Deep Plowing Some of our agricultural writers seem to have made deep culture their hobby, and as is usually the case with hobbies, have ridden it a little blind. It will not do to fix a certain depth for plowing all kinds of soil or for all crops. It will not de for the farmer who has a surfbce soil of only five inches, to plow twelve or even ten inches deep without he can afford to wait five or six, or even more years for his crop. Nor will it do, because some in favored loca tions can raise better corn with a four inch furrow than with an eight inch to say that the shallowest furrow it the beat. Each one must use his own judgment as to what is best for his own particular case, and not look to any general rules. . . On some of the tule lands in California the depth of the soil may be measured by feet instead of by inches, and on snob land we may practice deep plowing to the full est extent. On the other hand, we have land on which a system of deep plowing would be suicidal. If we can only devise some implement by which the soil to the depth of a foot can be thoroughly stirred without reversing the surface soil, we can then lay down general rules for deep cul ture, but not till then.

His table may be supplied with everything fresh in its season. His labor is less wearing than the toil of counting rooms and offices, and he has more leisure. —Nature and Science, Scrilmer's for Ort.
