_ “My father, who was : a shoemaker in the
village whore my lord’s principal country res
idence .was, was a very violent rural politi
cian, and, a tierce upholder of what he called
the ‘People’s . Rights.’., I used to hear him.
.harangue his, neighbors,, hour, after hour, on
evenings, when his work was done, and they
.mot in the kitchen—which served our family,
for a ‘pprlor, kitchen and hall’—over a pipo
and a tankard;,,for, with all his violence of a
party spirit,>my father was no pot-house fre
quenter. 'lie waq. like .many Englishmen'! of
nis class whom I have since observed: a fierce
decider of the vices of the aristocracy—their,
pride, arrogance, and extravagance—and yet,'
in his heart of .hearts, a secret admirer of a
lord. . It must have been owing to the latter
fooling thatj when my lady expressed a gra
cious intention of taking me into her house
hold, my father did not offer the violent oppo-,
silion which might have boon expected from
one of his radical, opinions. Some resistance,
oil’his part certainly occurred; but the shal
lowest observer might have seen it was assum
ed more for the sake of consistency .than for.
tiny dislike to, my living with ‘real nobility,’
However; 1. bad imbibed, enough of his
prejudices to sot myself up as a talker against,
my superiors—a proceeding'for which I was
often scolded, and riot. unfrequently threaten
ed with dismissal. .Oiiitho occasion of my la
dy’s loss, my irritable and chafed spirit von-,
ted its bitterness against the whole noble or
der to which my lord’s family belonged. If is
a wonder to me, now, that 1 was riot rit once
sent , away for. .impertinence and .sauoiness;
but Mrs. Merry, the housekeeper, was some
what inclined that way herself, so I suppose
alio had a fellow-feeling. 1 ‘
“ I took a particular spite against Lady.
Mosshill on the first occasion my.lady had us
all into the .drawing-room; and Lady Mosshill
was proserit. . She wore,.the whole time of my
lady’s .lecture, and exhortation to confess the
truth, a eoldj sneering smile, that might have
better sat on the features of a fiend than of a
living woman.
1‘ I was the more, irritable,' because,,having
to keep clean my. lady’s suite of rooms, arid,
those appropriated to Lady Mosshill, which
woro ncar Lady ’s, I felt I was more pe
culiarly liable to, be suspected than the'ser
vants who wove move remotely employed. - .

I was promoted to her situation—-a rare thing,
for upper servants in a groat house must per

hard to learn mine thoroughly; and, moreo
ver,-knew, the ways of the house, which a
stranger might be slow in acquiring. So my
pertness was reprimanded, and my services re
tained.
“And the commotion died away again; and
six months passed away in peace and quiet

berry’s house, wont to Paris for the winter.
“ We saw nothing of her ladyship; who had
been loud in her remarks about the missing
jewels, till the ensuing spring, when she . ar
rived on another visit, intended to bo a length

“She remained about a month; and, at
length, to the great joy of the servants, who
hated her; gave notice that she would.depart
next day. -On this one she kept her own room
all tho morning, superintended the packing"
by Madlle. Theresa; and finally, with her own
hands, packed a small valise with a few ne
cessaries, for. she was to spend a day on' her
way home with gome peer, whose name I for
get now. All this Theresa told us when she
came to take up hot water for Lady’MosshiiTs
toilette. . , V
“ T wish sho would loaVehof room/ said I,

is going to my Lord Yarden’s to dinner, and
you shall go to her room den.’
“ I grumbled a good deal; but I had to wait
Lady Mosahill’s pleasure, for all that; it.was

So he got’on' rit tho. lower end, and began

But just as he; got started,-tho, raft started

down, both traveling at tho same rate. When
ho gpt to'the end of tho sticks, he found they

Fright in Ijic Catacombs ol Paris.
The catacombs of Paris extend beneath a
considerable part of the Faubourg St. Ger
main, and especially the Rues St. Jacques,
do la Harpo, do Tournon, do' .Vaugirard, the
Theatre del’ Odebn, the church of St. Sulplcc,
the Pantheon, Ynlde-Grnco; the Observatoiro,
etc.; and they go beyond the fortifications to
Monrogue. In them, as is known, are deposit
ed the hones which wore collected from differ
ent burial places of Paris, bn the suppression,
in the time of tho Revolution, iff cemeteries
within the walls'; and these ghastly objects
are piled, up in such a way as to form galler
ies or streets, which extend for miles. It is
recorded that at different times numerous per
sons have lost their way in these dreadful re
gions, 1 and have died of hunger and terror.
.Prom a French paper wo learn that four
men have recently almost by miracle,
from this terrible death. M. 'Katory, one of
tho keepers ,of the cafacombs, having occasion
to change a look of tho door ,of one the galler
ies, went, on the previous afternoon to the
spot, accompanied by a locksmith named Cha
bral, that man’s apprentice, of tho name Mor
on, and M. Ouanno, an architect’s pupil. In
' credible to relate, they took ,only one candle
and did not evenplacoitih alantern,and mrire
extraordinary still, did not carry with them
any, matches. No sooner bad they . reached,
the door where tho job was to bo done, than a sud
den puff of air blew out tho light. Under
the guidance of Katory; they attempted to
find thpir way back; but notwithstanding his
minute knowledge of the road,:they wept as
tray, and spent hour after hour in going up
one gallery and down another.; In total dark
ness, they could not find any clue to' direct
thorn to an outlet, and tho further they walk
ed, the more desperate thoir situation appear
ed to become. At length, after-several.hours
Spent in pacing up and down, tlioy wore com
pletely exhausted by fatigue and terror. Then
Katory had a happy idea; “■ lot us shout for
help,’’ ho said ; “ perhaps we may be heard
they did shout, but for hours more their cries
remained unheard .amid the din of the noise
above. Nor was tho night more, favorable,
as few persons pass through that part of tho
city at bight. At length, towards toil o’clock
iu the morning, a journeyman printer named
Phillippart, employed on a journal, was re
turning to his residence, 10 Rue Dummy Trb
uin, near the Luxembourg, and, when near
his door, it seemed to him, that.ho heard cries
of distress from under thb earth,' At first ho
fancied ho was laboring under-'an illusion,-
but, on listening, ho distinctly heard human’
voices, from below an iron slab which covers
.an orifice opening into the catacombs. He
summoned some - police officers, and they,
hearing tho same: cries; cauaed tho slab to bo
removed. “ Who are you down, tboro,; and
what are you doing ?”. asked one of the officers;
arid the answer was given,' “ Wo arc four men

,1 GOOD DIALOGUE. -
[Tho scene of tho following interesting dia
logue is that of two farmers on opposite sides
of the fence. Mr. Smith, who has beside him
a basket, of very small; potatoes, is leaning
Oyfer,the fence looking wistfully over at Mr.
Jones, who.is'digging a splendid crop of big
potatoos, A picture of the scene was prepar
ed wifh tho original dialogue, and should ho
here, hut wo have not tho engraving ori hand.
The dialogue is pleasing and .instructive, and
should bo read by every one.]
“Tho'potatoes, thoy arb emall,.
Over there, over there." —Old Seng. ,
Mr. Smith— How is it, neighbor Jones, that
your potatoos are so largo and fine, while just
over the fence, on simitar soil, mine are as
small ns pullet’s eggs, rind precious few at
that?'
Mr. Jones —l manured this field with
brains.
Mr. Smith —’Pshaw I All tho Cincinnati
hog-killers couldn’t supply brains enough for
this ten aero field.
Mr. Jones— l used human brains, of which
tboro are plenty.
Mr. Smith— Nonsense. Now don’t make
fun of mo bebause I’m unlucky, and Provi
dence has sent you a good crop.
Mr. Jones —Providence helps those-who help
themselves. I used my own ■ brains on this
field.
Mr. Smith— So did I mine, and they areas
good.as anybody’s. .:■■■•
. Mr. Jones —-Ah! there’s the > trouble. ■ Yon
know it all yoursolf. I don’t, and so I get.all
the outside help I can. I’ve been collecting
other men’s brains for my land for twenty
years, and you see one result in this crop,
■: Mr, Smith— -Yes, I soo the result, but don’t
Understand it.
Mr. Jonas—-Well, when wo began hero 20
years ago,! thought fnyself a good, inrmoiv
'hut! believed others had good ideas, too, and
I made it my business to get at their thoughts;
some I found in agricultural books and pa
pers, others I picked up at the, county Fairs,
by asking how tho big things' wore raised,
rind often I’ve got a good hint from a neigh
bor.
. Mr,. Smiih-r ; l’ve always, been down on this
“ hook fanning,” but your crops stagger mb,
they’re real knock-down arguments, I’m
sick of the poor show I get for all my work,
and am desperate enough to try anything for
improvement.
Mr. Jones —l’ll give you my experience; -it
may aid you. About nineteen years ago, I
heard that some men- who had been brought
up on farms had clubbed together, and one of
them was going to publish a paper, vrhifch
should consist mainly of accounts of how dif
ferent fanndrs cultivated various crops, l and.
■such like matters. X sont for the paper and,
.have done so every year since, and now I have
, iuneteniv;lnrge
I have read, a little ai a time, an^ s ®rMvhdle
has not; cost the produce of a single aefe.
Why I am astonished when ! think ovdi' the
ton thousand thoughts,..and hints, and sug
gestions.l have thus gathered,' IV’lmt p blank
would bo left in. my head, if these thoughts
,wore taken’away.’ .V. ' ■ , n : ’
IMr,,1 Mr,, Smith— -But does the practise of -farm-.
I ei 'n on: other kinds of soil and with'a different
J climatq, suit your wants? '
’’ Mr. /o)?es—.ly.hyjno,. not .exactly, perhaps.
( But then, every .thought I. got from auotlior,
f starts a new thought in ■mg'own mind, and
thus I am constantly improving my own skill
and practice. You see, X get all tho brains X
can from other men’s heads, and. compost
them well in my.own head with a mixture of
common souse, and then make tho application
to my fields. In that , way I .have -manured
thl? crop of potatoes .with plenty of brains.
The editor called here last week on his west
ern tour among farmers, and seeing my good
crops, ho asked mo to writo but just how' I
have treated, this field 1 for years past, and I
| promised,to do it as soon as my orops are
•gathered.' Ho'will probably print it, as he
t constantly prints all such' practical matters, I
and perhaps a hundred thousand persona will
j rend.it; and though nobody else, may do just,
as, I do, many will ,got a now hint,,and ,im- 1

Mr, Smith— .l - would like to borrow your
paper.- :■
Mr. Jones, —Better take it yourself, forlthon (
you will,bp more likely to road it.. Ton..will i
find liiiVitlwls of plain .talks about 'various
kinds of-'crops; during a single year. ; Oha
Hint gave! five bushels of corn On. each ncro ’bf
a largo field in a;single year, ,
Mr. Smith —l can’t afford to tqko.lt this
year. ' :
Mr. Jones —Yob would think nothing of
spending two cents a woek for extra tobacco,'
or a cigar,, or candy,- and that’s all tho. paper
will IXow little n week it costs.to sup
ply yourself and family, with a large amount
of information through any good paper.
Mr, Smith—AVhat are the politics of that
paper? •
, Mr. Jones— lt doesn’t touch politics. It is
devoted to such subjects as Field and Garden
crops, Animals, oto., and lias, destdos, n, good
deal about Toman’s Work,. which wife says
is worth more than ten times the foiv pounds
of butter it costs to pay for the paper. , Then
there is also a department for thoyoun'g folks
containing -many things- which please the
children—not mere trashy stuff, such as is top
often printed far them,, hut inforumtion that
will have a good influence oh them. • I would

If I was a mechanic or merchant, and had J
only a little garden, I should fake the paper I
to toll mo how. to make tljo best use of the lit
