EC iSE ROA '0 gQ V,V IZt C , '?1 lie was something of a bear to answer so crustily, when Barbara Smith stood in the doorway, with the shadowy lashes drooping over her soft brown eyes, and the roses inciting into deep carmine on her rosy cheeks, until her muslin dress was pale in comparison. Such a pretty, big eyed, loving little Barbara as she was, in all the blooming freshnen of her eighteen summers, and the soft sigh that fluttered up from her lips as the one-horse carriage drove away, and was checked instantly. Barbara had no idea of becoming a victim to unrequited love, though she had rather fancied Mr. Verley during his brief sojourn at her father's house. E INS. CO. Mr. Verley drove away through the rustling green draperies of the summer lanes, whistling softly as he drove. " I shall be in very good time for the 12-30 train,'' he meditated to himself. " Punctuality is the soul of business, and I never was one of the behind-hand tribe, thank Providence. Besides, I think _it was becoming rather dangerous to remain at that place any longer. I'm thirty-nine to-morrow, and that's just twenty years too old for me to go making a fool of myself. Fancy me getting married! No you don't, Joseph Verley, my friend." As he settled himself comfortably in the crowded railroad-car, and opened a letter, the subject again recurred to his mind with curious persistence. " The letter of my poor brother's execu tor came just in time, or I should certainly have lounged away more time than would have been either sensible or profitable. Poor, dear Harold; I don't see what on earth possessed him to fall sick and die on his way home from Venice, and leave his daughter on my hands, too. Why couldn't he have left a son instead of a daughter! I never did understand a woman's ways, and, what's more, I don't want to. I sin to meet her at Speedville, and take her home with me, oh!" groaned Mr. N'erley, referring despariuglv.to his letter. " And what am I going to do with her when I get her there, I'd like to know! I suppose she:s a great tall creature, with ringlets and ribbons, and just as likely as not, an Italian lover chatting sentiment to her-41 creature that reads Byron, and keeps an album, and eats slate-pencils and chalk. Pll send her to a boarding-school—that's what do with my niece--and perhaps, when she has graduated there, the school master can suggest some means of getting rid of her. Of course she'll have half a dozen huge trunks, and a bonnet-box and a parrot-cage—that's the way women gen .erally travel, I believe. I am glad lam out of the way of Barbara's fascinations now. One woman is quite enough toketp me distracted with her freaks and her fan cies—two of them would drive me to suicide." Mr. Verlev looked out of the car window in a sort of calm desperation at the pros - that lay before him. LANCASTER, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1869. Wintry. PEOPLE WILL TALK. Ittiottliantotto.

Speedville station—twenty seVen miles liirther on. I wish it was twenty-seven hundred —that's what I wish." • . And with this vindictive sentiment in his mind, our hero tieda red silk handker hief over his head, and tried to lose him .. fin a series of brief troubled dreams, wherein the vision of a tall, nice young lady figured conspicuously. Are we here already?" he stammered, starting to his feet, as the conductor bawl ed out " Speedville station!" and seized umbrella, valise and traveling shawl, with the bustling bewilderment peculiar to peo ple suddenly aroused from sleep. Speedville was rather a large sized vil lage, situated at the junction of several railways—a bustling, thriving little place, with an imposing American Gothic struc ture as a depot. Into this building , Mr. Verley walked, looking right and left for the young lady whose guardianship he was to assume. "Of course," he reasoned mentally, "she'll be on the lookout for me; women are proverbially curious." But Harold Verley's daughter was not on the "lookout" for her unknown uncle. When the crowd incident to the evening train had subsided, and people had gone their several ways, the only remaining occupants of the depot were Mr. Verley, lame old man who sold peanuts and oran ges, and a decent looking colored woman, with a brilliant Madras turban on her head, who took care of the building. Neither of these could be his niece, so Mr. Verley, after a little perplexed hesita tion, addressed himself to the colored woman,. who was busily polishing the window with a piece of crumpled news paper. Ahem—l wail to meet my niece here to-day, and—l don't see her." "I our niece, sir?" what is her name?" " Verley." " Oh, yes, sir; she has been here these two hours, bless her dear heart; she's asleep now." " Asleep!" gasped Mr. Verley; but the stewardess only answered him by bustling into the inner apartment and bringing out what appeared to be a compact bundle, with a pink face at one end of it, and a mass of tong, trailing embroideries at the othe. Jo r sep.l. Verley recoiled i t is - mr as the angle of the wall would permit him to. "Why—it's a baby!" "To be sure it is, sir," said the woman, "and as fine a little girl as I ever saw; bless her sweet blue eyes." "But isn't there a nurse or some such person here who could take charge of her?" "There was a nurse brought heron, sir; a queer, foreign looking thing, with a yel low skin and hair as black as night, and big gold hoops in her ears; but she talked something about the next steamer I couldn't understand her lingo, sir—and went right back to New York on the two o'clock train." Joseph Verley stood aghast, staring at the rosy baby, as it lay crowing in the woman's arms, and wondering which of his lucky stars he should call on to aid him in this unlooked for emergency. A full grown young lady niece would have been bad enough—but a baby! "So this is my neice," he muttered. " And what the d—l am I going to do with her?" lie turned suddenly to the colored woman. "What time does the next train for Winfield leave?" " Iu an hour, sir." "Would you be kind enough to take care of the child until then? I suppose I must take it home with me; for I can't very well drown it, or throw it under the car-wheels." "Sir!" ejaculated the astonished stew ardess. But Mr. Verley turned on his heel and strode out of the depot, scarcely able at first to comprehend the fullness of the dis aster that had befallen him. The train was at the depot when he re turned; and the woman awaited him with the sleeping infant in her arms. "Asleep, chi" commented Mr. Verley, " Well that's lucky." "Where's the nurse, sir," inquired the woman. "Nurse! What nurse?" "Why, I supposed you went to get a nurse." "Never once thought of it!" ejaculated Joseph, madly smiting his forehead. " Here—give the thing to me quick, the train is moving." He had hardly time to spring on board as the locomotivegave an unearthly shriek, while the baby followed suit in both re spects. Ho staggered to a seat, holding the um brella and child in one hand; while in the other his valise swung backward and for ward. " There! there! bless its little heart!" he coaxed, imitating as nearly as possible the colored woman's formula. We won't cry—no we won't." But the baby evidently had an opinion of its own on the subject, and would cry in spite of the various blandishments practised by the bewildered uncle—such as shaking the umbrella handle, swinging his watch, and trotting both knees. Peo ple began to look around reproachfully; young men shrugged their shoulders, and young ladies smiled. "Hush! hush! there's a darling!" whis pered Mr. Verley. "What does it want to settle down into such a heap for? a body cannot tell its spine from its leg. There! there! it shall look out of the Will 1021 dow. If I could only remember a nursery rhyme or so. Bless my heart! what lungs it has! You little beast, will you keep still?" But still the baby w e pt, an d wa il e d, an d gnashed its gums, for of teeth it had but two. Mr. Verley began to look round in the car in searelkof some matronly (lame, of whom he could seek counsel, nut in vain. There were only three ladies in the car, and they were young, with round bats and dimpled cheeks. "They wont'tknow anything about it," groaned Mr. Verley, in anguish of spirit. '• Oh, why didn't, I have common sense enough to go and get a nurse. I suppose there is no danger of a baby bursting its lungs; but I should think, if there was such a contingency, this baby was in a fair way of meeting it. Well, roar away my young, friend; I can stand it as long as you can." Vain beast, and futile as vain, as Mr. Verley very soon discovered. The baby not only cried, but it screamed, it kicked, it doubled itself over in more ways than a contortionist's wildest &emus could imaw ine, and became apparently frantic with passion. The perspiration broke out in huge heeds on Joseph's brow; his face flushed, and still the cars thundered on. "What's to become of me?" he ponder ed, holding desperately on to the strug gling infant by the sash that encircled its little waist, and watching its purple face with a species of detestation. "I don't wonder that Harold died! I shall die in a week, if this thing goes on. And it seems so easy for Barbara Smith to take care of her little brothers and sisters. If Barbara was only here!" And Mr. Verley jerked the baby up into a sitting posture with a sudden jerk. "I'll do it," quoth Mr. Verley. "I'll take the hack express at four in the morn ing and go straight there. Ali, you may stop crying, you little hypocrite, but it won't do any good; I'm not to be caught twice in the same trap." Barbara Smith was watering her tube roses, in the bright morning sunshine, as Mr. Verley drove up to the gate, with the valise and baby in the carriage. "Dear me, Mr. Verley!" she ejaculated, blushing 'celestial rosy red.' "Why, what a sweet little babv:• Yes; very sweet," he responded, drily. `•lt is my niece that I was to meet at Speedville." 'Why. I thought she was a young lady." dia 1; hut it seems she's not. Bar bara, what do you suppose brought me back," he added, speaking very fast for fear the baby would cry. "I don't know," faltered Barbara, crim soning still more. "Perhaps you forgot somethin,,," fr. lE "Yes, did." "What was it," said Barbara, a little disappointed. "I forgot to ask you if you would marry me." "Dear me! was that all?" said the young lady, demurely. "Isn't tint enough?" any, Barbara, will you?" "I'll think of it," answered Barbara, evasively. "No; but tell Inc now. Quick! the baby's waking up." "Well, then—yes." Barbara had taken the little thing in her arms, and disappeared before it had time to utter its waking wail. A week afterwards Mr. Joseph Verley took the 12-30 return, with his wife and niece, the happiest of reclaimed old bache lors, and it was all the unconscious baby's work. A DOMESTIC FARCE —IN ONE SCENE. "Why is it, my son, that when you drop your bread and butter, it is always on the buttered side?" "I don't know. It hadn't orter, had it? The strongest side ought to be up, and this is the strongest butter I have I ever seen." "Hush up. It's some of your aunt's churning." "Did she churn it, the great lazy thing?" "What, your aunt?" "No, this here butter. To make the poor old woman churn it, when it is strong enough to churn itself." "Hush Zeb; I've eat a great deal worse in the most aristocratic houses." "Well, people of rank ought to eat it." "Why people of rank?" "'Cause it's rank butter." "You varmint, youl what makes you talk so smart?" "'Cause the butter has taken the skin off my tongue." "Zeb, don't lie! I can't throw away the butter." "I tell you what I would do with it; keeli it to draw blisters. You ought to see the flies keel over as soon as they touch it." THE yieldper acre and average price per bushel of crops raised in this State last year are contained in a table prepar ed by the Agricultural Department at Washington. From this it appears that the yield per acre was as follows:—Wheat, 12 bushels; rye, 13 bushels; barley, 21 bushels; oats, 27 bushels; corn, 35 bushels; buckwheat, 16 bushels; white potatoes, 88 bushels; sweet potatoes, 90 bushels, and hay,' 1A- tons. The average price per bushel on Ist January, 1869, was Wheat, $1.89; rye, $1.32; barley, $1.64; oats, 04 cents: corn $1.00; buckwheat, $1.09; white potatoes, 93 cents; sweet potatoes, $l.OO, and hay, $l6 per ton. The several crops of Pennsylvania therefore yield the following money value per acre: Wheat, $25.34; rye, $17.43; barley, $35.419; oats, $17.79: corn, $35; buckwheat, $17.99; white potatoes, $81.84; sweet potatoes, $149.40, and hay, $21.60.
