Under the lime trees ofAhe principal .dllee are two long rows of gaily-dressed girls, packed close together. like the pipes of an organ.

The nicest article for washing windows is a deer-skin as no articles come off to adhere c . "7 - I — . le glass and make it lcx).ls t .a.. 1111 feathers. There is no need of anything larger than a hand basin for washing windows. The great splashing some people make in the exer cise of their art-is entirely useless, and is. moreover, deleterious. When the water is permitted to run in great quantities over the glass it dissolves the putty and soon loosens the panes from their setting, and also stains the glass. Two pieces of wash-leather and a bowl of suds are all that are necessary. Wipe the glass first with the wet cloth or _leather,_ tnd after it becomes dry with the clean cloth, and then it will look clear, and far mole so than if rinsed in a dozen pails of water. .21n English chemist recommends that all legal deeds or documents be written with quill pens, as the contact of steel invariably destroys more or less the durability of every ink. ---A—lov_o—you—Ruth----You—have- surely been able to discern it.

Ile had married, when 'lite ounn , a la.y of equal rank with himself, though she was by no means handsome ; but he loved her with most romantic fervor. The Countess' of I was a most superbly beautiful woman, and once, in,company with a number of friends, boasted that she could con quer Lord if she could only gain his at tention long enough. The boast was received with doubt by her niends. "lie is eminently a Christian man," said one: "A fig for his Christianity !" said the Count ess, contemptuously. "I tell you I'll make him 'sue me for a smile.' I wish I could gain - his at to for a quarter of an hour." Her wis was grafi e. ; t at very evening at a brilliant party, Lord N— and his lady appeared. Blazing with costly jewels, radi ant as a Peri, the unprincipled Countess rivet ed every eye; she was indeed fairer than a poet's dream. With the most delicate man cetivering, she gained the attention of-- Lord N—, and walked triumphantly thro' the blaze of beauty, casting significant glances 'on those she met who had heard her idle boast. But thougli as polite as the most accomplish edpian of the world, she could see that Lord N— was totally unmoved by her elegant style or her cbquetish airs and glances. Final ly, as 'he gave some little quotation, which he considered delicately complimented by the approval of his wife, the Countess ventured to sneer ; she was piqued because he had quoted his wife, that plain Lady • N—, before hd.,, the imperious, the acknowledged belle of the' whole empire. Lord N turned his dark eye full upon her. "My dear madam," said he, in an emphatic manner, ',•one approving word from my. wife is worth a thousand from any other woman, how ever brilliant and beautiful she may me."

You should be jealous." "I am not," he replied still more sternly ; "my wife andl have a motto, that 'true honor will never allow itself to be tempted.' and as for myself, with reference to Lady N—, I can say, in the divine language of Scripture, 'the heart of her husband doth - safely. trust in her.' " The coquette was silenced ; her animation gone ; and those who noted it knew the reason why.

Some years ago, Pelis sier, on parade, one morning, got angry with a sous (gear of a cavalry regiment, whose tame seemed to him quite defective. He abused the man most violently, and cut him across the face with his whip. The man seized one of his pistols and endeavored to fire at his com manding officer, but the pistol missed fire.— Pelissier, swearing a fearful oath, but other wise calm, said : "Fellow, I order you a three days' arrest for not having your arms in better order." f -- 'When a man comes home and tries to bolt the door with a sweet potato, pokes the fire with the spout of the coffee pot, attempts to wind up the clock with his bootjack, tries to cut kindling for his morning fire with an ivory paper knife, takes a cold potato in his hand to light him to bed, and prefers to sleep in his boots and hat, you may reasonably in fer that he has been making the acquaintance of some very friendly people. man famous for hunting up enigmas philosophises thus: '•What strange creatures girls are: offer one of them wages to work for you and ten chances to one if the old woman can spare any of her girls—but just propose matrimony and sec if they don't jump at the victuals and clothes."

It is related that a gentleman from Virginia, hearing, on Saturday last, that a 'friend of his from (Prange county, in the Old Dominion, was • " • I • --• • runaway matrimonial match—at once sought him out, and volunteered his services to assist in the important ceremonies ; an office which, to say the least. was indicative of solicitous kindness. It appeared, however,-on-i-nqui •', that it was not his friend who was to be mar- ried, - but [lie overseer of the ,gcntlemen-tempo rarity in the metropolis. But, as he had evinced so much interest in the contemplated hymenial proceedings, he was entrusted with the business of procuring a nanister.- Accord ingly, he hurried off for that purpose, and, making-inquiry on the way, - he was directed to a stately residence, and was met at the door, in res once to the bell ringin7 by a more than ordinarily well-dressed male servant. "Is the minister within ?" hurriedly asked the grooms man, (we suppose he was acting this important chltacter.) "Ile is," replied the servant.- -Then I must see him instantly," continued the interrogator. "Your name, sir" "Never mind that; I must see the minister without delay ; my business . is of ,such a character that I have no time to wait for ceremony." So the gentleman was invited into the parlor; when the minister entered, making a profound bow to his visitor. • "Are you a minister?" he in quired. "I am, sir." "Then I wish to engage your services. I want you to go with me to the American hotel ; you understand—a couple from Virginia are there in waiting, and your presence is required to make their happiness comp e." "You want me to he present-as a witness " "No, sir, I have called upon you - 44tiet e knot—to marry them—to pronounce them man and wife."

A Paragon of a Woman. The Indianapolis Ala tin 1 gives the following' account of a lady residing in Paris, Tennessee.

We are sorry that, we cannot' give lier name in full.. The matron in ques tion is a Mrs. D—, now eighty-seven years old. She had twenty•three living children, and prayed to the good Lord to give her one more, to make' the round and goodly 'number of two dozen. Besides these she has raised fourteen orphan children. She has educated thirty children—her own and a portion of the orphans, and for _many years sent nineteen children to sAmol in Paris, and their dinners with them. She says that none of those she has reared and educated have ever disgraced her or theniselve.s. The girls have all married well, and are rich.

Convinces me that ground' ploughed in the fall is as productive as when ploughed in the spring, for small grain, and in many places for corn. When corn is to he planted upon sod, my opinion is that it • tntid_be-turmad-over-in-the-fall.-late,-shordy-- before the ground closes up with frost., A few years 'since, I was working' by the month for a farmer in the Buckeye State, where the soil is composed of red clay and some por tions of gravel. Late in the end of November, I was set to breaking up a piece of -pasture ground, where the introduction of the plough was.never known to the soil. - After having turned over several acres, -a gale from the north-west came up in the 'night, , and the ground was so frozen the next morning : that ploughing could net be done. The remaining part of the piece had to lay over until' Spring. In the Spring I finished ploughing. At the usual 'time of planting, corn was planted, well: -tended during the season of tending. corn: Tit the fall when the crop was harvested, there was one-third more corn per acre where the ground was ploughed in the fall than where it was ploughed in the spring ; the soil was equal ly as good or better where it was ploUghed in the spring as Where it was ploughed in ,the fall. The next season corn was planted nail.: the yield was same as before. 'The next sea son it was sown with ,oats for the purpoie of seeding to grass. At harvest time, likemost men that work by the ,month, one morning I. wakintroduced- to a fine tinily cradle, for the purpose of laying them in the swath, and its I cradled across the fUrrow, I could tell the sues molt that I struck the grain where the ground p was ploughed in the spring. The result Was the same as with the -corn: During • ttiego three years' I tried the experiMent 'on old ground for oats. The result. was where the ground, was broken : late in - the fall; the-crop was by far the best. I sowed the, oats as soots as it was early enough in the spring. Whethr.r this would prove tine in all 'soils I cannot tell. ;lany, of your correspondents that have tilled the soil for years, can proba bly tell. L. S; SPENCER. LYNN, Warren co., lowa.
