Heart Wealth and World Wealth. MEND = The windows of Mr. Glenn's handsome stone front house were all closed; heavy black crape was bier to the bell handle, to inform the passers-by that death had entered that dwelling, and claimed one of the occupants as a victim. In a handsome rose-wood coffin, with heavy silver mountings, reposed the corpse of the proud and stately Mr. Wenn, and in the room overhead sat his widow and only child. Mr. Glenn bad always been called a wealthy man ; he had always lived in ex travagant style, and his wife and daughter dressed in the latest style—rode in a hand some carriage, and gave frequent and de- pant parties. Marion Glenn was a handsome girl, and admirers, not a few, flocked around her; but flattery had failed to spoil her, she had strong, good ease, cud out'of her many admirers, she had selected one whom she thought more worthy of re spect and love than the rest; and on him she bestowed her sweetest smiles. _Many young men envied George Clare—for the smiles and favor of such a girl as Marion Glenn, were not to be had every day. In this, the hour of Marion's bereave ment. George Clare was very kind, very attentive; and his tender sympathies and delicate attentions were very soothing to the heart of the fatherless girl. She be lieved that he truly loved her, and that pure love for herself prompted all these little kindnesses. The day of the funeral came—the dead was laid to rest in the narrow couch pre pared for hint—the soul went back to its faker, and all that remained of the once proud wan, was the memory of those who knew and loved him. The executors of the estate, after a care ful examination into his affairs, were com pelled to inform the widow that but little remained for her—an income of but a few hundred dollars. What was to be done? Marion Glenn did not sink under the blow, as Many would have dune ; oh, no, she was not given tu such weakness,—she sat down to think—to decide upon the best course of action. The elegant house they had so long enjoyed, must be given up; the rich and costly furniture sold; the servants dismissed. There was work to do. and Marion Glenn could not vivo way to grief or disappointment. At length, everything was arranged; the red flag of the auctioneer hum: from the parlor window, and the d o wnhill o f the Glenn's was the universal topic ofeon ver-ation, in fashionable circles. Ten o'clock came, and crowds of peo ple flocked to the house to purchase,—to see, and to be seen. Many who had pm*;- ed evenings of pleasure in those handsome parlors, now came to make unkin .1 re marks, and while the auctioneer was busy below, Marion Glenn sat in a room above. In her baud she held an Open letter. and a look of intense agony had settled over her features. The letter was front George Glare. It ran thus : Miss Gt.kNx regret to hear that your father has left his affairs in such a shocking state of confusion. I heartily sympathize with you and your soother; but under the circumstances it will be impossible for me to 11111111 the engagement I tun under to you. Wishing you success in whatever volt may undertake, I am, Truly Yours, xo ROE CLARE. This was the hardest blow of all ; Marion could look calmly on and see nirtune and position swept away—but he, whom she had invested with every noble, manly trait of character. to turn coldly front her in her misfortune. was cruel indeed ; and for a time she sank beneath the unexpect ed and overpowering blew. The sale was coueluded—cverythidz was settled—and an income of nearly one thousand dollars per year was all that re mained. Mrs. Glenn decided to make her home with a sister, who lived some miles in the country, and Marion decided to accept a situation as governess with a friend, who in her misfortune did not desert her. [For the "spy."] SPRING. I= [For tie `• Spy.-] Mrs, froward was a truly noble woman ; her home was on the banks of the Hudson —a beautiful mansion—and she had sur rounded herself with every comfort and elegancy of life. She was a widow, and the mother of two lovely children. For years had she known Marion Glenn ; and now, when friends deserted the once proud and wealthy girl, she came forward with true delicacy, offering, sympathy and a home. Marion was happy with Mrs, ['ward ; she lowed the children, and the quiet hie she !ed suited her fin. better than the life of fashionable excitement she had known. With one mighty effort she eitst the image of George Clare from her heart, and learned to wonder how she ever loved so vain and false a man. Airs. Howard had a brother—a man of strange impulses, a confirmed bachelor; for years be had been traveling in Europe. and now he was coming to visit her. When Marion heard of this proposed visit, she received the news with quite an ill-grace; for she thought that the pleasant, social intercourse she bad learned to prize so highly, would be interrupted; but how mistaken she was. Gerald May came. lie was a large, powerfully built ruan—his face half cover ed with beard ; his skin browned by ex posure to the sun—but he was particular ly interesting in conversation, and there was no end to the stories he had to tell of scenes in other lands. Time passed on, and Gerald May and Marion were thrown into each other's society ; and one evening Marion said to Mrs. Howard, with a modest blush mant ling her cheeks and brow : " My dead• friend, your brother has asked rue to become his wife, and I have consented." Mrs. II otra ra smiled pleasantly. saying : "I am content. I wished it so from the first; and I hope you will be happy " And Marion was happy ; for in the love of Gerald May she found what many women seek. but few find. Gerald was a man who appreciated heart-wealth above world•wealth. They were married; and Mrs. Glenn made her home with them ; and the days passed by freighted with only joy for Marion. She had walked beneath the clouds, and now lived in the sunshine of love and happiness. .iikiJ-I,tillaullo. .i_s - ' Solomon's Temple. Tttare i a et,a m in g tradition nonneeted with the site on which the temple of Solomon was erected. It is said to have been occupied in common by two brothers, one of whom had a ihmily, the other had none. On this spot was sown a field of wheat. On the evoniug succeeding the harvest, the wheat having been gathered in separate shoeki., the elder brother said to his wife: •• 31y younger brother is unable to bevu• the heat and burden of the day. I will arise, take et my shocks. and place them with his, without his acknowledge." The younger brother being actuated by the saute benevolent motive, said within himself: " My elder brother has a family, I have none; I will contribute to their support; I will arise, take my shocks and place them with his, without his knowledEe.- .Indge of their mutual astonishment when. on the following morning, they found their respective shocks undiminish ed. This course of events transpired for s everal nights, when each resolved in his own mind to stand guard and solve the mystery. They did so, which. on the following night, they met each other half way between their respective shocks. with their arms full. Upon ground hallowed by such an as sociation as this was the temple of Solomon erected—so spacious and magnificent, the wonder and admiration of the world ! Alas ! iu these days, how many would sooner :steal their brother's whole shocks than add to them a single sheaf. How now; Sheep. The March report of the Commissioner o f A f!r ieulture dwells upon the ravages committed by dugs among the sheep in the 15liitcd states. 111 18156, five hundred thousand sheep were killed by dogs, and the value wag 82,000,000.. The number injured was three hundred thousand, and the loss is estimated at $600,000. The Commissioner says : "The cost of keeping dogs, most of them utterly worthless, when calculated fur the whole country, assumes startling proportions. The esti mate made in the report of 18d3, of ten dollars per annul: , or less than one cent per weal, cannot be considered extrava gant, •iu view of the price paid for board• ing dogs, the east of keeping large unto hers of them in cities, and their exclusive consumption of weal.' As to their num bers. it is belcived by many that they will average one to each family. or seven mil lions in the United States. In cities and towns that aver:me would not be reached, while many a pack of hounds and assem blage of curs of low degree might be fbunu in the ownership of single families. Possibly seven millions might be too large. Ohio, with a half a million families, is supposed to have half a million dogs, al though a little more than one-third of that number are found on the assessor's books. It may be assumed, in view of all the data obtained, as a low estimate, that there are five millions of dogs in the Unit ed States, and that their subsistance in volve au expenditure of fifty millions of dollars." Talks About Irealth—How Mach shall we Eat? Sir James Clarke thought that one of the most fretful sources of consumption was excessive eating. Ile says: "By a too stimulating diet the stomach becomes dis ordered, the secretion impaired, the circu lation unbalanced, the skin dry and harsh, and often, as a consequence, tuberculous disease results." An eminent American autlior affirms that, "Where all the arts of cookery are brought into requisition to tempt the ap petite, it not unfrequently produces con sumption." And again : "Superabun dant and exciting fbod produces a morbid condition of the body and derangement of its functions, rapidly wasting its vitali ty. Children overfed are never healthy. Their excessive fullness and redness of face, though often exhibited by thud par cots with pride, indicate au unhealthy condition. If' there is the least consump tive taint. such feeding hastens it into ac tivity." Again he says : "It is a false notion that the scrofulous and tubercu lous require high feeding. This often develops the very evil it is designed Co remedy." Dr. Hunt declares : "Our own nation is proverbial for gormandizing, which is abrading beginning to deteriorate the en ergies of the American people." Dr. Muzzey says : -Much feeding is likely to be followed by disease." Lola Montez declares that "the ordina ry fare of a fashionable lady is sufficient to destroy the brightest and smoothest skin." I could quote from a great number of well-known physicians in the same vein. How shall we determine the neecss..ry quantity of food ? Dr. Phillips and Dr. Paris recommeud that "the dyspeptic should carefully at tend to the first feeling of satiety." A score of eminent physiologists have advised weighing the food. Professor Hitchcock advises that we should eat only of one dish, or, as be ex plains it afterward, "one course." The celebrated Dr. Johnson offers the following on this point: "Whenever a meal is folloWed by an inaptitude for men tal or corporeal exertion, we have trans gressed the rules of health, and are laying the foundation of disease." The famous Dr. Cheyne says: "If any man has eaten or drank so much as ren ders him unfit for the duties and studies of his profession, he has overeaten." Many expedients have been resorted to to assist in securing moderation; but, when the food is good and the social at mosphere pleasant, nine people in ten go too far. - - I have a rule which has proved valua ble. I have recommended it to many others, to whom it has likewise proved of great value. It is this: Before you take the first mouthful, place upon your plate all you are to eat. and cat but twice a day. This. for the most obvious reasons, is greatly superior to any of the rules I have named, and. I may add, to all that have been given. This rule accomplishes all that the practice of weighing does, with out the embarrassment and annoyance which weighing involves. It is better than the rule of Dr. Johnson and others, viz.. watching while you are eating fi,r the first indication of satiety ; for it is simply impassible fur a dyspetic. with his morbid appetite, to watch or halt when be does discover that the food fails to give the in tense gratification of the first moment. This is indeed the great difficulty—to use calm judgment and moral firmness in the midst of the absorbing pleasures of a deli cious meal. I tun free to confess that I have rarely done it myself, and think I may without harsh judgment say I do not know of half a dozen persons who can. Besides, with this rule, you always avoid the dessert, and the condiments. which ; in the shape of extra salt. mustard, pepper, etc., are almost• sure to find their way to your plate during the meal. What an immense gain it would prove to us all if the dessert could be abolished.

Curious Will. The Nashville (Tenn.) G'a.:cite has the following : `• We have heard of a rather queer will which was lately admitted to probate in one of the counties bordering Cu the upper Comberland. A wealthy old citizen had two suns, one of whom was in the Federal army, and the other in the rebel ranks. During the early part of the war the old gentleman was taken suddenly ill, and wishing to divide his property equally between his two sons,be queathed to Henry (the Federal soldier) all his slave property. embracing about fifty ncgrocs, and to Thomas (the boy in gray) his entire landed estate. Ile died, and thus the will stands. Both brothers lived to re turn from the war, and the gallant soldier of the lost cause, being perfectly satisfied that slavery was no more,generously divid ed the lands with his brother, and Loth are living happily together."

Quite a romantic affair came to light in Jersey City, Monday evening. Ida D. Albert, aged 17 years, a rather pretty robust, not unsophisicated female, whose bead had iDocome filled with romantic ideas, concluded to leave home and ven ture the perils of the sea under the guise of male attire. Accordingly. on Monday. a week ago, she helped herself to $lOO of her parents' money, and left her home near Minneapolis, 111., for New York. Arriving at Annapolis, she purchased suit of clothes, and after having leer hair cropped short, donned the new attire. She then took the ears for New York, arriving in the owl train on Sunday morning. At the foot of Cortlandt street she called a hackman and directed him to take her to a hotel. The hackman accordingly convey ed her to the Hulbert Street House kept by Thomas J. Prendeville. A lady in the hotel detected the sex of the young woman. Prendeville succeeded in dissuad ing her from her purpose, and she accepted their,advice to return home. She accordingly assumed female attire, and was taken to the Erie hallway depot in Jersey City. fur the purpose of taking the express train home. After being seated in the car, Detective Nugent had his attention called to the girl by a person who suspected something wrong. The girl having considerable money in her possession, and the officer fearing that there were designs against her, took her to the police station for safety, from whence she will be forwarded to her home. The girl is satisfied with her adventure, and expresses a desire to return to her home.—N. r. Express.

Culture of Sorghum During the high prices of syrup it has been a question whether it will pay to raise our own sweetening if it becomes cheaper. Although in many places last year the manufacture of domestic sweeten- Mg was almost a total failure, yet enough has been done heretofore to show what can be accomplished. The necessity of growing cane for the manufacture of our own sweet, to those accustomed to its use. is already established. A few words as to its cultivation. In the field where the corn is to be planted, select a place to plant the cane ; rich, well-drained, sandy, or porous subsoil will do. Land on which the water stands much of the time will not answer. Some people say that it is better to sprout the seed before planting, as it will come up more even and get the start of the weeds. Seed that has been grown in this latitude (42°) three or four years, should be renewed from the South or Southwest. as it here deteriorates in value yearly. Among the varieties of cane the most prominent are Regular Sorge—an old variety ; Liberian—new and popular—does not blow down; Ootn seeana—sotnetinies called Otabeitan— best for sugar; Nee-a-za-na, or White Imphee, two feet shorter than either of the above : stands up well. Altbougb many plant in drills, it is thought by others to be more economical to plant in hils, so the crop can be culti vated both ways, the object being to have the cane as stocky and large as possible. The pith contains the sweetening. The ground should at no time be worked very deep, and especially the last time through with the cultivator, as it would destroy the little fibrous roots. When the bulk of the seed becomes about ripe, or should there be a heavy frost, the cane should be stripped. For this purpose flatten a broom handle to a thin edge and with it fall the leaves to the ground ; af ter they become dry they may be raked iu piles for fodder. One man can strip an acre of standing corn in a day. In cutting up use the common corn knife. Grasp the bill about midway from top to bottom, cut it off close to the ground, and while you have it in your hand cut off about two feet of the top ends and lay them down butts one way to bind. The wilt ed leaves may be twisted into bands, putt ing a short band around the middle of the bundle, and another: around the batik evening them on the ground while bind ing. After being cut the canes should be kept out of the hot sun. If stored awhile in a dry. airy place in the shade, before making up, all the better. There is a right way and a wrong way doing work,and soul - I .:times many ways for doing a thing. all of which may be right; in this busi ness it is essential the operator should not be slovenly--should use his tack and skill to the best advantage. In regard to health of serge syrup rho Sorge jottritai says: The percentage of cane and fruit sugar contained in sor ghum syrup is much greater than that contained iu an equal volume of tropical molasses or sugar-house syrup, for the latter is always deprived of all the crystal izable sugar which can be obtained by both ordinary and extraordinary mean before it is put in the market for sale. Moreover, tropical molasses and sugar house syrup, while they do not contain any crystalized sugar that can by any means be withdrawn from them, do con tain most of the soluble filth and impuri ties which pertain to the original product of sugar and syrup. And not only this. but they also contain soluble matter re sulting from all the agents used in defecat ing and refining. This of itself, when we. remember that such an offensive substance as putrid blood and such poisonous agents as sulphate of zinc, diacetate of lead and nitrate of silver are sometimes used by sugar refiners, would make us look upon the residuum of these operations with suspicion. Reference is frequently made to the ut ter disregard fur cleanliness common in sugar-houses, and many revolting details are given in illustration of the fact. Per haps the filth which comes to us in our molasses and syrups in this way would not be particularly unhealthy, and a re ference to it here. may not be exactly in place. But the exemption which we en joy from being injuriously affected, re sults from the absence of a knowledge of these facts. If the eater of common trop ical molasses and sugar-house syrup could know at the time of eating all the ingre dients contained therein, all the dubious channels through which they bare pass ed, and the filthy contacts to which they have been exposed, we feel certain that a very sick sensation would be experienc ed. and a convulsive movement of the dor.;al and abdominal muscles would be induced, much like that which follows a diet of tartar emetic. GRAHAM OR COARSE WHEA.T BREAD. —Two-thirds unsifted wheat meal, one third fine dour, a little molasses, mix with warm water. One large cup of potato yeast will make two good sized loaves. Mix and rise over night, and your bread is ready to mould and put in your pans before breakfast. Do not lot it rise too lone the second time—much bread is spoiled by so doing. Pr is said insects will be less destruc tive in an orchard well cultivated, than in one that is left to grass.
