The long, dimly-lighted car was full; every seat was occupied ; band boxes and carpet-bags were held in their owner's hips, and there was not a single chance for the new comer to Ice accommodated.

"Three cheers for the hero of Mexico !" rent the air. Banners trailed out on the fresh night breeze; flambeaux flashed, drums beat, and a long line of carriages filed slowly up the street. Vile James inquired the occasion of all this tumult, and learned that it WKS a pub lic welcome extended by the citizens of Boston to Gen. John Satherton, a gentle man and a veteran officer, who laid singu distingui,hed himself in the then late 'Afexivan "Ile cattle in this train," said a bystander.

Winchester and her cousin stopped at the American House, and early the next niorning, before the lady had finished dress ing, a servant brought up :t note bearing her address. Isabel tore it open, and there fell out two cards of invitation to a ball to 1,0 held at the Revere thatevening in honor of Gen. Sutherton. One bore the name of Fitz James, the other was directed to her self. She had no acquaintances in Boston, consequently the invitation most have been sent at the instance of the General mself. .Iftiz James was surprised and humiliated at this mark of distinction, for he could not realize that the invitation had been ex tended to him solely to save his cousin's ibehng4. But, not tviticdanding this, he wished to accept it, ii only to have au oppor tunity of excusing his yesterday's impolite ness to the gloat mau. The journey to Nahant was deferred for one day, and early that evening the cousins were at the Revere, where the brilliant co, terie had already assembled. Gen. Sntherton, reclining in an arm-chair at the he: id of the great drawing-room, re ceived hi l 4 friends as they passed by, one giving plitee to another; but when Isabel \VW; presented, he detained her hand to say : "Ple.r.e On this ottoman at my Side ; I hit V it relative here to whom I wish to present Yon." It was not long before a singularly hand ‘mite young man came up to the General, smiling a friendly welcome, and the veter an, turning to Isabel, said: iss Winchester, allow me to present to you iny son, Alfred Suthertou, who Is very grateful for the kindness which you last evening bestowed upon his father." 'fhe young man bowed, and his father continued : In this enlightened century, it is a notorious fact, that the aged meet with slights and incivilities, to say nothing of positive unkindness, which would have pat the barbarous nations of old to shame.

James Eustace, a young exquisite, who was escorting his cousin Isabel Win chester, to Nabant, drew down his mouth until the ends of his copper-collared mous tache rested upon the tips of his %veil starch ed dicky, and remarked to the lady by his side: "iteally, Mr. Smith is insulting us ! Why cannot he and a place for that wretched speci Mel! in the second class ear?" A. flush perhaps of pride—perhaps of anger—mounted to the white forehead of Miss Winchester. She put her hand as thong!' to check the speaker, and said in a subdued voice: "Fite. James, will you give. that gentle man your Heat?" "My dear Isabel!

Fitz Jamey never thought of disputing the will of his imperious cousin, so he stood up to let her go out. lint instead of taking the seat which her escort had occu pied, the lady walked straight on, until she reached the side of the neglected old gentle- Marl. The touch of her hand on his shoul der drew his attention towards her. "Sir, will you have the goodness to take the seat which I have vacated ?

The old man's nice brightened, and Ile east a grateful look into the (lark eyes of the handsome lady. "But, madame, you must be weary: I cannot accept it." She made en impatient gesture.

So saving, the old gentleman sank into the vo.cant seat, with a well sad...tied ex pression of countenance: but Fitz .laune. expressed his mthountled contempt for his neighbor, by drawing his ample raglan elo-ely around him, and shrinking 'nearer to the side of the ear. The stranger looked at him with quiet scorn. "You need not trouble yourself to slip through the window," said he in it voice of irony. Fitz James was thoroughly disgusted.

The other time was on the long piazza of a seaside hotel, also in New England, She wa s a married lady, a mother, and a writer of charming verse and prose. It had been her singular good fortune to be reared on that rockbound coast in such a way that her growth was never checked by excessive school, nor her freedom of movement ham pered by irrational dress, or by false ideas of propriety. Her father being a landlord, a fisherman, a light-house keeper, and a man of sense and information, she had plenty of boats, rocks, fishing-tackle, and suggestive conversation; and so grew up absolutely free from every one of the per nicious restraints of a defective civilization. At the same time her mind was duly nour ished with honest knowledge, and kept to tally free from all the contracting, supersti tious, 1 never spoke to her.

How Little flurry l'uzzletl lal Father. Now children, if you will stop this hurlyburly and be quiet a few minutes, I will tell you how little Harry puzzled his father. After dinner, one night, papa was standing by the lire, leaning, his elbow on ~, rnantle shelf, and his head on his hand, !coking very grave—thinking, I suppose, abou'_ some grand way to make motley, or about our now President, or something. else that big men think about--when Harry ran up to Min and pulling his coat, said: "Papa, papa, can you cut an apple into four quar ters without cutting the skin?" Papa was so busy with his own thoughts that he did not abut what Ilarry was say ing at first, but liarry pulled his coat :so hard, and his little tongue wits so noisy, that at last he turned his eyes slowly to Harry's thee, all glowing with the thought that he kitew something his papa did not, when Harry said again: " Can you cut an apple into four quarters without cutting the skin ?" 11151 you little motthey, nor esti you.. , "Yea, I - esti, paps, uud I will eul an apple iryuli will pare it afterward." "Very well," said papa, and harry ilaneisd out of the row it. Before long,, how ever, he canto hounding hack, his eyes shining, and his checks the color of the round, rod apple which lie handed to his papa, saying: " Now, papa, pare it careful ly, and see if it is not cut into four quarters." So his papa took his fruit-knife from his pocket, and began to pare the apple, with it queer look in his eyes, which seemed to say: "This is some child's nonsense I suppose, but I will do it to please my little boy." So, while Harry stood first upon one foot and then upon the other, eager for the mo ment of his grand triumph, the knife went round and round the apple, taking off the skin in one beautiful long, circli n g strip, which papa was just going to throw over Harry's shoulders, when, lo ! the apple fell apart in four quarters in his hand. .Nte, there wasa puzzled look in his eyes, you may be sure, its lie gored tit it , while) Harry rolled over on the floor, and kicked up his heels, and shouted with delight at the suc cess of his trick. Now would you like to know how harry cut the apple? Well, I don't want to tell every body, because if every body knew how, there would be no fun in it, you see, but I'll just tell the boys and girls who read the Columbia Select a fair apple, and take a needle threaded with strong silk, not very coarse; commence as close as possible to the stem, and run the needle a little way under the skin ; then draw the thread through care fully, leaving out a few incites at the end ; then put the needle in again at the if :tee where it canto out, and push it along a little further, and draw it out the same way, and thus go quite round the apple, being care ful to break the skin as little as possible. Then take both end.; or the thread and draw them very gently but firmly, and the thread will cut quite through the apple and come out. Then go round the apple again in the same manner, so as to cut it into quarters. If any little bits of skin poke up in a way, just rub them down with yoUr finger.

The disposition to pry into the privacy Of domestic life is, unfortunately, very coal ition, and is always dishonorable. The ap petite for such knowledge k to be:regarded as morbid, a al the it:diligence of it dis graceful. A family have a sacred right to privacy. fa guarding the delicate relations of the household, secrecy beeotties a virtue. Even if by chance the private affairs of a house hold are laid open to a stranger, honor will require him to torn from them, and if IL knowledge of them were tOreed upon bin:, ;they should be looked in a sacred silence. A double obligation of silence and se crecy rest upon one who is a guest in a The turpitude of a betrayal of family history by a visitor, is far :treater than theft would be. To pocket half a dozen silver spoons would do far less dam age, produce far less suffering, and be less immoral, than taleLeariug. It is a thing so scandalous thatit should degrade a per son, and put him out of society. To betray the secrets of the household is not only an odious immorality, but it is a sin and a shame to be on good terms with those who are known to commit such outrages. They are miscreants. They put themselves out of the pale of decent society. They should be treated as moral outlaws. These hungry-eyed wretches who sit in the unsuspicious circle of parents and children, treasuring their words, spying their weakness, misinterpreting the inno cent liberties of the household, and then run from house to house with their shame• less news are worse than poisoners of wells or burners of houses. They poison the faith of man in man. If one opens his mouth to tell you such things, with all your might, smite him in the face! There are two actions which justify you In instantly knocking, a man down; the one is the 31Ct pointing a gun at you ia, sport, and the other the attempt to tell you a secret which it is disgraceful for him to get, and for you to hear. Make no terms ith such people. Tale bearers have no rights. They are com mon enenik”t of good men. Runt, harry and hound them out of society ! They are the worst of pests save one, ;111(i that is the listener to the tale bearer. There could be no tattling if there were no one to hear. It takes an ear and a tongue to make a scandal. Greedy listening is as dishonorable as nimble tattling. The ear is the open market where the tongue sells its illgotteu wares. Some there are that will not repeat again what they hear, but they are willing to listen to it ! They will not trade in contraband goods, but they will buy enough of the smuggler for family use! These respectable listeners are the patrons of tattlers. It is the ready market that keeps tale-bearing brisk. It is a shame to listen to ill of your neighbor. Christian benevolence demands that you do not love ill news. A cleat' heart and IL true honor re joice in kindly things.

About the second week of May prepare the ground to have plants set out in hills. Soil that is sandy should be plowed seven inches deep, but a soil that is altearyloatm, live inches deep, us potatoes growshm t and chunky by shallow plowing. After the ground is plowed, harrow it over thorough ly. :liar!: out the ground five inches deep, apply to the bill half a shovelful of horse stable Mann re, that has been well rotted and has loin at teat six months in a rout- post. Hoe up the earth on top of the ma nure plaeed in inns fourteen inches high; once hoeing around will form a hill suf ficiently large. After the hills are made, they are ready for plants. Set one sprout in a hill, which is performed by running the right hand down in the middle of the bill into the manure, and with the other hand putting in the sprouts as the right hand is dra wn out, being careful to have all fibers or roots set in the manure and earth, and press in the earth around plants. NVater thoroughly, and immediately cover the sur face of hills slightly with dry earth, to pre vent the ground frotn becoming sodden around the plants, especially on soil that is at heavy loam. That will do for garden culture on a small scale. For field culture spread the manure along the furrow made in working out the ground one way, and then turn two fur rows together over the manure. Set the plants eighteen inches apart in the row. In cultivating do as much as possible with the plow, or shovel plow, and dais]; with the hoe. Texas Cattle. The °say estin Bulletin of the 26th ultimo reports it conversation with Professor Gam - gee,.who Las recently been investigating the cause of what is known as the Texan cattle fever. Ile has gone to the fountain head rather than dip into the stream near Its mouth. As the result of his investigations Professor Gamgee makes the following statements of special interest to stock raisers and dealers. 1. That all Texas cattle have larger spleens than Northern cattle, and in all dis eased cattle the spleen is greatly enlarged. 2. That some Texas cattle have died ofthe diseBse 3. That the meat from these diseased cat tle is not unwholesome, however unpleasant the idea of dining upon it may be. •4. ']'hut one diseased steer or cow will not impart the infection to another. Calves suckling diseased cows have escaped. 3. Mere is no known instance in which cattle passing on cars have communicated the disease to the cattle of the country. 6. Cattle acperateci by a single fence front Texas tattle are not affected. 7...tfter a period of ten weeks or three months in the North. Texas cattle lose the power of affecting others. S. Corn-fed cattle are harnales.g From these,:says the Bulletin, he adduces the theory that there -is some quality in Taws grass which Imparts to the exerein the power of engendering disease, as Is the case in that human ailment, the cholera. Fowls in Orchards. The public has yet to learn the full ad vantage of keeping poultry. Few seem to appreciate what they may do among trees in an orchard. Let any one try them in an orchard of a quarter of an acre, where they may be kept by the picket fence four or five feet high, putting in, say one hundred and twenty-five fowls, and observe the re sult. It will avoid the annoyances in the garden. of which so many complain, while they will work among the trees, doing just what is needed and destroying everything that can injure the fruit trees, in the shape of bugs, worms or other insects, and lay a large number of eggs. which are a cash arti cle, to say nothing of the chickens, which pay well tbr raising at the present time. I have tried it, and know it is so. I have about one hundred fowls, which have work ed admirably among my trees, keeping the ground in good condition, keeping oil the insects and promoting the growth of the orchard. Tam satisfied that we have yet to learn the full benefits which may be de rived from the proper managetnentof and it is quite possible that the method I have suggested may offer the best way of getting out apple orchards into bearing con dition. Preparation of Whitewash. Whitewash in one Of the most valuable articles in the world, when properly ap plied, and now is Just the time in which it is in the greatest demand. We would ad vise housekeepers to cut out the following, for reference: Take a clean, water-tight cask, and put into it half a bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring water over it boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity to cover it about five inches deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly slackened. When the lime has been slakened, dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc and one of common salt. These will cause the wash to harden and prevent its cracking, which gives an unseemly appearance to_the work. A boa urinal cream color may be given to the wash by adding three pounds of yellow ochre ; or a good pearl or lead color by the addition of a lump of ivory black. For fawn color acid four pounds or umber; one pound of Indian red, and one pound of corn won lanai pblitek. IVhen applied to the out side of houses and to fences, it is rendered more durable by adding about a pint of sweet milk to a gallon of wash. Starting a Cypress Vine. A correspondent furnishes the following notes of his method of hastening the growth of this beautiful climber, which as a gen eral thing, is rather slow in getting under u • ay. lie says : '• The seed should not be planted until the weather is really warm, in May or even the first or second week in June. When the right time tins come, put them in some quite warm water, warmer than you can bear your band in, but riot boiling. Let them soak until their outer covering is broken in a good many places, showing the white in side. In the meantime, the ground should be well prepared•-made fine and light by pnlverizing the large lumps of dirt and throwing out the stones. Now pour boil ing water over the bed.
