I loved Rex .Ashcroft—which is some. thing for a proud woman to confess—with a depth and recklessness • which shivered my heart as litchtning shivers the matter it touches; but I would quite as soon have put my hand into living coals, as to have touched his lips with mine. Indeed, it would have been better for me to have been burned with .fire,.tban-to-have , truth, and yet, Ihaveseen moments when I would have sold my soul for one look into his flashing, - desperate eyes. Rut I have seen others when, for the hate (such hate as is born of love) I bore him, I would have put half the world between us if l could. Do you know what it is to love and hate in the same breath ? You would have soon learned had Rex Ashcroft been your lover as he was mine. Such a man as he was to woo a woman'. Fire to-day and ice to-morrow ; tender as an angel now, distant and severe as he who never felt or needed mercy then; but always strong and daring as the wild north winds which scatter terror in their track. He was a skilful teacher, and, alas ! learned quickly and well the lessons he put before me. First I feared him as a sinning mortal fears the King of Terrors, then I loved him with the same .mad de votion he lavished upon me, and at the last, I ethic to love, and hate, add fear. by turns as he himself did, only mine was a woman's soul, and it was easier for me to love than either - hate•or fear. The days, which were alternately like triumph and torment to me, came and went as other days come and go; but they never seemed to me to be hours which belonged to my life at all. I be lieved then, and I believe now,, that I re ceived; by some curious slip of fortune's wheel, what the fates prepared for another. Everybody warned me against this man, and for that very reason I clung to him the more, saying to myself. What fools they are to think I do not know hint as well and better than they! And greater to think I can ever fall into his clutches !" as in truth they were. Tic never made me waver but once, and then only for an instant. We were standing beside the river under a Septem ber -day, and watching the swift waters as they swept by at our feet, when a horse man galloped past on the opposit::. bank, and at a curve in the river came face to face with a train of approaching cars, and was killed in an instant. What if•it had been the man beside we, was 11. 5' first quick -thought and it sprang to my lips as soon as it came to my heart. " it might bare been you, Rex," I said, with a sudden cry of pain. He turned swiftly. " It would have taken me to hell, Vane. You alone can save me front that at last." His eyes held mine like a band of steel, and 1, remembering only that I loved him and would gladly die to save him, had' the words upon my lips which would have sealed my fate, when he bent to kiss air. That moment broke the spell which was upon me. I drew back as if from poison. " Let us go home," I said. " And forget that you love me, and might save me ?" We ought - to have parted then and there, but we did not. I answered him quietly in some evasive way, and, turning to other ,subjects, we walked slowly home. "Time enJugh.yet for each take up the dreary way alone," I said, as I bade him adieu at.the door, and went into the solitude of my own room: The end Mlle summarily enough. • • A. friend of mine came from Cuba to visit us, and he and while riding out - the day after his arrival, passed Rex Ash croft. I knew what would follow when I caught the look in' his eyes as he lifted his hat to me, and therefore I was not surprised when that evening brought him to the• house, with a request to see me alone. • • . I went into the-parlor with my nerves ready: " You and J love each other, Ibelieve," , r ho.began, waiting only until I closed the ddor iI red nOtbiu,,,... " R e I, then, you love me as you _will never love the man who sat beside you, and smiled to-day, if you like that better." " I shall marry him nevertheless," I answered steadily. It did not start him. because he did not believe it'. " That has nothing to do with the ques tion just now. People have warned you against me. Why did you love me ?" "If I have loved you, I have hated you as well," I answered, still holding my own. A curious look came into his face. Did you think I was not aware of that? Just because you hate and love with a strength like my own, I want you!! ." But you will never have me," I quick ly answered. An incredulous smile crept ioto his lips. "As sure as the fire has heat, I shall." "'Never !" • " I 'have a soul alr6ady. Take that away if you can !" I shuddered voluntarily. Ife was quick to notice it. " You are not so strong after all, Pane," his voice growing tenderond kind. • "Yciu tremble in spite ofyourself." "Neither from weakness nor fear," -I answered, meeting his look unflinchingly. "The sooner you go the better." "And leave you to marry whom you will ?" " Yes." " I will give you a 'diamond necklace with my own hands, the day you are any man's wife save my own." He drew himself up proudly, though I could see the color dying out of his face, and came toward me. " Good by, Pane, I love you as God loves truth. and I will kiss you once." He bent over my face, but I wrenched myself from his grasp, and he strode from the room, and the house, without another word The next morning this note Was sent to me: I have something moreto say to you, Pane. Listen ! Three months ago I should have exulted in the thought that your lore for 111';`, would make you a haugh ty, bitter woman the rest of your life, That is what 1 hoped would be the end of our companionship then. I will tell you why. Once a woman, the very counter part of yourself in looks and actions, won my heart and threw it away as you would throw dust from your fingers. When I met you, the sting of, my sufferings was over, but the sweet hopes of ,revenge, which had hugged to my heart from the day when her sweet, beautiful lips, which •I had never touched, bade me begone. I saw that you were strong and proud, so I said : This woman shall suffer, even as I'suffered long-ago, for one of her accur sed sex,' and I won you only to kill you in the end. But I overrated my powers, for in winning, I was won myself. The slew agony I had hoped to make you en dure, if it comes to you, •remember also that it collies to me as well. I have , u. that you did_ not. ; mean. to ,Ire- roj , wen,Thater than you can dream, io adhering to this resolution, though: 1 am astonished -at your strength. Whatever I do, and wherever I go, T am wholly yoUrs, and— oh, my darling! it is true you are wholly mine." 11Ex AsIICROFT. The months and years slipped by: How they wore heavily into my soul I need not say, but Rex Ashcroft and I did not meet. Often, in passing through a crowded street, I have shivered and drop ped my veil, fearing that 1 should catch the glitter of eyes that I remembered only too well; but the dreaded and yet longed for moment was long in coming. It came at last in a way neither of us had once dreamed of its coming. I was called down one cold wintry day to see a little child who bad insisted upon seeing Miss Fane Rivers herself. tiny thee, looking out from a hood of scarlet and enveloped in costly fur, met me on the threshold of the parlor. Are you Miss nine Rivers ?" she asked iii, a clear, sweet voice. I answered in the affirmative, wonder ing much who the little stranger could be. My father said that I should tell you that Rex Ashcroft had sent for you." In three minutes [ was in the coach which bad come with the child, and we were hurrying to - her father's house. At the very last this man had sent for me to come and see him die, and to take his orphan child to my heart and home. What need we to write about our terrible parting ? God sends to us what seemetb good in His sight, and :than we dare emu plain ?. nine Ashcroft is my %well beloved chihL and without knowing her father's history, she reverences his memory, and with her little hands clasped and lifted upward, she daily prays that her heart may be made so pure and good that she may one day go up to leaven and he with her own papa again. What use to break her childish faith ? We cannot tell to whom God's mercy .;ties, and we need not try. Catiseqorthe Cholera on the Plata' A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga zette gives the following ,reasons for the prevalence of the cholera along the Kan sas Pacific Railway. The poor Indian has been charged by those Who arc iuter ested in getting up an Indian war with killing many of the victims who it since proves were swept off by the plague; and among the number was a Catholic whom the speculators reported over the tele graph, y killed by the Indians." "There are no accommodations for travelers in Harker or _Ellsworth City, srve those of offieers'quarters and private houses;; and it is safe to presume that this cholera is the effect of three causes —first, crowdedness; second, the aceumu latiim of nastiness from the late great floAs, Mid the third, had whiskey. Ev erythini in the shape of tent or shanty is filled, add kept full of travelers desirous of seeing the heathen wilds.' Along the whole route are ranches,' literally gin where they put a gain, twist to the worst liquors in the country, and kill you with four drams over the hilltops. All along the Smoky Bill river and its many tributaries are drifts, full of rotten animals, and this, the surgeons say, has affected the water, which, by the nature of things, the men have to drink and use in their cooking. Either one of these causes would give cholera to any man, and cause it to spread in any community. The papers in the State crush this as much as they can, but that men who pur pose visiting this country soon may avoid the death they would probably meet, I give this statement, which is quite true." Night Scene in a Boarding House. -.A lady, whose husband is in California, Calcutta, or Chicago, suddenly awakened .from her sleep the other morning, about 2 o'clock, and springing from her bed, screaming at the•top of her voice, "Murder! Help f Murder! Man in my room," &c., &c. Under the circumstances this was quite natural, in as much as •more than one mibtake of this kind 'bad happened in the house recently. Now, it .appeared that no less than three husbands were absent when they should have been there, and consequently there was- more or' less wonder, mixed up with a species of ap prehension on the part- of three• wives, each one wondering whether it. was -her husband who had thus forgotten - himself or the room. " Oh, come up quickly," shouted the terrified female, holding on to the outside door-knob. " I've got him-in." "If it's toy Josey," said another dis cohsolate, " I'll,learn him „better. Con.: found these night suppers, now.he's been at one of them, ithd -has mistaken the room, and here I've been alone all night." "Has he got. whiskers?" anxiously ask ed the wife, upon reaching the landing on the upper,floor. " Yes, mam; great big busby whiskers, laying right along side of my cheek when I awoke. Dear me, if my Alexander was here, he'd learn him better, I'll warrant you. ,, " Joseph ! Joseph! Josoy 1:' shouted the wife at the door. No answer came; not even a grunt, incident to inebriatiou. "play be he has jnmped ont of - the window," suggested the four or five females, all at ante, who made a splendid group of long 'white drapery. " Here—help I bring a' light—bring a light," shouted several of the females. Presently a light was brought, and several of the male boarders appeared, all armed to give the thief...or robber such treatment as lie had justly earned for himself. The door was opened, and in rushed the valiant squad, and sure enough the fellow was still in bed, with the top of his head just peeping above the sheet. " Come out of here, you scoundrel !" said one of the Men, at the same time grasping him by the hair. The tableau was strikingly interesting and graphic. The resolute boarder almost fell from the impetus he had given himself, for, instead of jerking out a man, it was nothing more than a " frizzed chignon," which the lovely occupant of the bed had foi gotteb 'to take off when .she - retired for the night. It had been detached in her sleep, and grazing her cheek, awakened her. The alarm, of course' was quite natural. The boarders bad a hearty laugh, and all retired to happy dreams. ,txicieut Collins Opened. The trustees of the old Stoue Burial Ground, in Cranston, Rhode • Island, on the Pontiac road, a few miles southwest of Elmwood, have recently removed the remains of three of their ancestors to that place—Job Stone, his first wife Hannah .X.AgtteS,--dit . t.hislt-secarid:i.... - istifelaiii , Foster.

Concerning Happiness. Happiness may be defined as a posses sion eyer sought,•but seldom caught. So far from being properly classified as sub ordinate to life and liberty ; it includes both these conditions. Funny Fern di courses very philosophically in its rehttion. " I solemnly' aver that the moment any body tries to do or say a good thing, that moment he shall never be delivered of it, but shall Only experience throes of mortal Fain trying. If you build yourself a beau tiful house. and make it a marvel of taste and convenience, in one of its lovely cham bers shall your dead be laid; and you shall wander heart sick away from it, and with a strong heart accept its company. " This incessant striving to be happy I Never—never shall mortals be so, till they have learned to give it over. Happiness comes. It will not be. challenged. It glides-in only wheu'"yi:u. have closed-the door, and turned your back upon it and forgot it. It lays a soft hand upon your face, when you thought to be alone, and brings a joyful flush of surprise to your cheek, and a soft light to your weary eye. an ineffable peace to your soul._ " Old stagers know that the way to be happy is to give up all attempts to be so. lo other words, the cream M.' enjoyment in this life 'is always imprompty : The chance walk; the unexpected visit; the unpremeditated journey; the unsought ' conversation, or acquaintance." • I Now nand Then. The Norfolk Doi Book is rejoicing over the fact that the price of baker's bread bad just been reduced in that city from eight to six cents per loaf. It remarks: " The loaves furnished are nearly as large as the antebellum five cent loaf,,,and it is a matter of public congratulation that the staff of life has come down so near to old prices. Apropos of this grateful change, we are reminded of the war style in Rich mond; then we paid two .dollars a loaf, which was served through the key hole: The diminutive size was, in some, respects, an inconvenience, it is true, but it was so convenient to deliver. The baker came along early in the morning, and without disturbing the family, or.without loss of time consequent upon. arousing the sleep ing inmates, pitched-his.loaves through the key hole, and thus passed rapidly from house to house, serving his customers without trouble to any 'sue. This, however,' was ' the 'only recommendation •thnt the war style possessed." $2,00 Per Year, in Advance; $2,50 if not Paid in:Adyanee stterttd Tortrg. Sleeping in the Curs.

The memory need not be burdened with the recollection of particular kinds of poultices for inflammations, sores, cuts and punctured yrouuds, and by rusty nails, etc. For such sores, cuts and bruises the grand remedy is warmth and moisture ; in most cases, except in great inflammation, when a cool, moist poultice might be prop er, and . promote evaporation as well as warm poultices. That is best which keeps moist the longest and in its nature is mild and soothing, hence bread soaked in milk to a soft pup, is the very best poultice known.' The repulsive remedy of the en trails'of a live chicken, or scraped pota toes: turnips, or any other nauseous mix tures are of no specifiC virtue whatever.

St.vriso BurrEa.—lt is becoming a complaint, among butter dealers, that farm ers are not careful enough as to the kind and quality of salt they use in, preparing butter for market. Some put in too much, others hardly enough, while too many are careless as to the quality used. Ordinary barrel salt is reported to contain so much lime as to cause a soapy texture in the butter, while lacking the preservative power essential to good flavor and pro tracked keeping. The Ashton salt, im ported in bags of four bushels, combines all the essentials necessary to the preser vation of butter—the salt costing about one-fourth more than that commonly in use. It pays well to be particular in ev ery thing relating to butter manufacture-- a good article, cleanly made and properly put up. being certain to remunerate the maker for all trouble and expense.— Fa: in and Fire:4de. • DAGGERS OF SHEEPSHEARING Too EARLY.—The, Ohio Farmer in its report of the meeting of the Michigan Wool Growers' Association, gives the views of several wool growers on the effect of early shearing.

A'Norn ER.—two tablespoonfuls of milk' and a small piece of butter, just . give it a beat up; take the yolks and whites of two eggs well beaten together, add them to it, and continue to stir on the fire until it becomes quite firm ; it should be sent up quite hot on a round of _buttered toast.
