From Daßoa's Pictorial
Just Over the Bay.
1=33
A great many men get over the bay, in their
li ves . The voyage more common than peo
ple generally are inchned to iumgine. Some,
know, are moved with a more vaulting am
bition, and think it hardly worth their pains
Unless they can send their ships round to San
Francisco, or by the other road round to Cal
cutta ; but these are few indeed, in comparison
with that vast multitude, a countless host al
most, who are in the habit of statedly weighing
anchor for a short trip —just over the bay.''
But let me not anticipate our story. -Before
we come to that part of it which particularly re
lates to harbor navigation, there is a little pre
liminary to be attended to, in reference to the
character—or habits, of our mutual friend
Frosty.
Mr. Andrew Frosty chanced to reside in one
of a long, straight, smooth row of houses, no
one of which bore any special mark on its
front by which it could he distinguished from
another. Such a block of buildings it would
Ipe a very hard matter to liud anywhere else in
w o rld s o even : so like ; all with granite
steps ; all with projecting stoops, or porches ;
every one as like every one as it could possibly
be. -
Tack on another item. 31r. Frosty was as
jealous a man ofhis wife as any husband need
be. Ile was ley ribly jealous—and that is quite
enough for the happiness—or comfort of any
•'\ow we think it an awful thing for
a man to be jealous of his wife at all : if he ha
reason for it, it most certainly is ; and if with
out cause, then it is vastly inure so. When
either man or wile falls into such a wretched
habit as that, they may as ).vell draw their
cotton caps over their eyes, and say good-night
to the, world. Living is no sort of an object to
them.
But whether Mr. Frosty had any reason to
be jealous of his 'wife, is what we arc not going
to settle. And yet we never tbfought he could
bavi, for a kinder, gentler, sweeter, more ami
able and devoted 'wile than she made hi:u, it
would be difficult to put your finger upon any
where in the house or the street. But Mrs.
Frosty was young ; and had a great deal of
beauty. too ; and was remarkably attractive in
her manner. It would not be at all six ange
if these 'were reasons sullieient to excite Mr.
Frosty against her, though, if they were, he
ought to have been heartily ashamed of Intl
:kit, and gone and got a plainer wile to begin
with.

Let me in.' "
The consequence was. on this particular oc
casion, at lyiast, that he slipped himself quietly
in through Mr. Prostg's front door. hung up
his hat and coat in the hall, and started for the
dining-room. As all the libuses in the hlock
%%vie so much alike on the ont. - -rii T tem inter- I
nal arrangements %vete pretty much after the
same fashion likewise. So that the hall of Mr. i
Frosty seemed exactly like Ills Own hall and
the dining-room door opened just where his'
own did.
The instant he-opened the door, however, he
began to awaken to his error. The table was
spread in the middle of the floor, and the pret
ty Mrs. Frosty sat near the grate, just glanc
ing over the evening paper.
"Ah !" eichtitned he, bowing and scraping
confusedly ; beg_ pardon! Really,. Mrs.
Frosty, I beg pardon !"
Ina . monitmt the astonished lady was on her
feet, her face flushed with the natural excite
ment of so unlooked for a visit. She knew nut
what to.say.
"This is a ludicrous mistake, r declare. Mrs.
Frosty," said the colonel. "Here I am, invad
ime and taking possession of your house, when
I thought c I was safe and snug in my own !
Ira —ha--ha ! All this comes of these houses
wearing such similar faces. But it's the first
mistake of the kind I ever made, and 1 :rust
you'll excuse it !"
Mrs. Frosty comprehended it instantly, and
began a good laugh over his innocent adventure.
"It I snou Id ever happen to get caught so my
self ."! said she; and the thought of the conse
quences made her put her white hand before her
fat - fe, that she might have her laugh 'out unseen.
"We're always grateful for a call - from you,
Colonel Sawyer," added Mrs. Frosty. ••Now
you are here, and supper will soon he on the
table, why wont you stop and sit down with
us ? My husband will be iii soon. lam ex
pening hint every minute."
The colonel began to thank her for her po
lite invitation, and to excuse liiinsell by reason
of urgent engagements for the evening, amd
even while he was thus occupied, the outer
door opened, and in came tire veritable pro
prietor, Mr. Frosty himself.
"Time!" exclaimed his wife, my husband is
coming now ! You'll not be detained any
longer than you would at home. Come, I
think you'd better stop with us."
Along came Mr. Frosty through the hall,
looking (Noss and sour enough. Iris face would
have turned sweet milk in a twinkling. The
instant he caught the sound of a wale voice in
the dining-room, his old suspicions began to
flame up again. And as. soon as ht could
creep alung•as far as the door, in his stealthy
way, and look in through the crevice and see
who was there, his rage burst all_ hounds, and
made him a momentary madman. Mr. Saw
yer and his wife were in the zoom abnie! That
was enough !
"Now what does this mean, sir !" shouted
the enraged husband, dashing up bellwe the
thunder-struck colodel. "Thus is just what
I've been expecting for a long time ! I Arum.
there was some deviltry like this afoot!—
What are you here for. sir What are you
doing in my diouse S Tell me. sir !—or [much
yourself our, quicker th in you came in !"
The colonel had got over his astonishment
enough to commence a calm explanation, when
Mrs. Frosty, bursting into tears, threw her
self before her angry husband, and implored
him to be silent ; fur it was only a trilling
mistake, an I f 1 o ,one,
Sawyer would immedi
ately explain it all. But the em aged man
would hear to nothing. "Leave the room "
he ordered his wife. "I'll hear nOthing from
you ! I've had disgrace enough brought on
me already ! Leave the room''' And morti
fied and in tears,,she passed out to brood over
her misery and mortiticalion alone.
Colonel Sawyer essayed to begin ; though
it was exceedingly hard work, and he could
accomplish nothing but with almost superhu
man effort. ••I mistook the house, sir ; that is
all," said he. "My intentions were perfectly
honorable, and out of this house, sir, shall
not call them in question without being held
personally tesponsible. 1 ant quite ready to
leave the place," assure you." And lie began
to tlo se.'
-All that is very well to say," replied the
jealous husband. should advise you for the
::tuture,'however, to be a litife careful before

' Col. Sawyer withdrew, resolved to hike no
further words with Such 'a creature. lle saw
'llTeS7was Lesule hunsulf with jealousy, and
he knew that language wuuld be wasted on
Perhaps it was a couple of months after this,
that a patty ut gmlGetuen lingered rather late
about the tap u► ut.t• friend Kegg, in his :,ntig
little back room, and forgot

how it is. It's all very well to say you've
lost the way into my house but I should for
the future advise you, before going into other
persons' houses, to just look and see if your
own number runs the len , th of the street!"
-ust t had be' . .
him, and' juq what sealed his lips. Frosty
was floored completely. But that was not the
best of it. The colonel insisted on going home
with him, and going ill: and he offered hisser,
vices in such a pleasant yet persistent way,
that hosty could not have shaken him off,
even if he was not himself rendered - siibmis - .
sive by reason of Ilk; own mortification. And
die colimel, therefore, went in and told Mrs.
Frosty about it : which so thoroughly pleased
that amiable lady, that, in view of previone,
61 . cm:it...Imes, she set up-a-resistless-hi-110v in-!
the face of her humbled lord, in . the mid st - of.
which his very polite escort took occasion to I
withdraw.
But Frosty was thoroughly cured, by the
of his jealousy ; fut which his gentle
si (ise aid not forget to be duly thankful.--
II and nth:lilted that it was quitepossi
ble (or a respectable man to mistake even the
number of Ins own door--especially in the ex
istence of two separate 'contingencies :—lirst,
when the how-es in the same row were all as
nearly alike to appearance as a pod full of
peas; and secondly, when a man is on his

Ile frank with the world. Frankness is the
child of honesty and courage. Say just what
you !bean 10 do on every occasion;and take it
for granted you mean to do what is right
Ira friend ask a-favor, you should grant. if it
he reasonable : if it is not, tell him plainly
why you cannot. - You will wrung him, and
wrung yourself by equivocation of any kind.
NON er do a wrong thing to make a friend or
to keep one : the man Who requires you t0,,,d0
so is dearly purchased at, a sacrifice. Deal
kindly and ,tirmlv with all men : you will find
it the best policy which wears best.—.l hove
all. do Hilt appeal' to others what rot; are not.
If you have any f3ult to find ‘rith ally, tell him,
not others, of what. you complain. There is
no more dangerous experiment than that of
undertaking to he one thing to a man's face,
and another thing to his back. We should
live. speak and act out of doors, as the saving
is, and say and do What we ate willing should
be known and read by'ruen. It is not only
best as a nia.tter of principle but as a matter
of policy.

Fatal Peep
Some Germans of

little stnolse on that day, and the scientific
gentlemen began to get into danger without '
being aware of it. The guides, having had
quite enough of soft ashes and hard work in
the ascent, sat down on the tippet rim' of the
crater, not feeling inclined for more exertion.
So many People had gone to peep into the
chimney of the infernal regions day after day
without any accident, that these lazy guides
prekrred some sour wine, and a slice or so of
lellloll sprinkled over with salt—a very cont

had lie placed his foot upon an apparently'solid
pitticelion , than the whole crumbled beneath

and which seemed even more beautiful than
ti;erne's celetoated figure of the accusing spirit
and recording angel. --"Every man," says the
dervise, "has two angels, one on his right

does anything good, the ani , el on his right

Technical Observations.
A few days ago a couple of men got into
light. and as a consequence, it being naturally
the ease, a ring of excited individuals' got
afoun6 the patties, and each according to his
own feelings in the matter gave his advice.
"Peg it into him," said. the shoemaker,
"hammer his upper leather for hint, that's it!
tear him iny ; beat - his soul out of him."
"Cut it into him, old lel," said the butcher ;
"knock hint on the head. Say ! why don't
yer punch his ribs ? You're a regular emit . ,
you are ! knuckle him, now yer got him, and
male mince meat of him."
"lb ess host %veil," said the tailor ; "see how

"Tau his hide," said the curl is - t' ;"peel the

"That suits Inv exactly," said the lawyer,
“g e t his head in chancery, alit bleed him till
he pleads : then he's a ;wo o d case." Then ad
vancing to the other one, he said : do
ing you an injury, he's perfectly fee.rocious :
take the law on hint and look out for the
remainder."
"I. saw him strike you first," said the car
penter ; "nail IMn ; knock his uprights ()limn

The highest gratification which we found
was not in the noble horses, fat beeves, milch--
kine, pigs, poultry or vegetable's, but in the
expression of a sentiment fast increasing in the
rural population. A - great many people have
discarded the belief that labor is an evil, and
that there is no enjoyment in the occupation
that earns the bread we eat and the delightful -
homes we occupy. After looking at all, the
departments of the exhibition, we were so for
tunate to be introduced to several of, the wo
men- of - Hampshire county nndirrtheir expr
sion of attaehtnent to rural life, and of the hap
py influences of rural occupations upon them
selves and their children, we found a source of
0-ratification far exceeding that which any
other
. matter afforded. - They feel that in the
calm and rational pursuits of agriculture and
its kindred branches, horticulture and abori
culture, there is !ess excitement of the-passions,
less temptation to lure from the_ paths of vir
tue, awl a constantly ennobling influence that
lifts the soul through nature up to nature's
tiod. That 6od is daguerreetyped, as it were,
before us all ; that we see his wisdom and
love, in the bending grass, the tumbling leaf, -
the sparkling dew, and in a thousand wonder
ful operations constantly carried en by His
superintending care, and which are ever pres
ent to him who cultivates the soil. That there
are lessons of trust, of confidence, of submis
sion. to he found in the garden and field in
many different fortes ; that. wisdom may be
found in every flower
,that blooms, of iusect
that lives ; that there are
Such sentiments are gaining ground, and as
they are received, will the farm house become
embellished with books, with shade trees, with
climbing plants and flowers and contented
hearts and the home of the fanner become
the happiest of all our land.
We suppose every farmer has observed how
much more greedily cattle will eat corn husks
and stalks that are partially rotten and moul-_
dy than those thara -- re sound and bright. S.
W. Johnson, in a recent letter to the Country
Gentleman, gives the following account of the
mode of managing or curing hay on the Alps,
by which it seems they reduce their hay to a
similar state with the husks above named.
The hay, it seems, is cut here several times
during the summer, as I saw it being mowed
in many fields where its height was not more
than three or four inches. Owing to this fre
ipient culling, and the abundant rains that fall
in the highlands the grass is very tine and
Thick set and of an•intense color. On account
of the. variability of the weather, a peculiar
method of curing hay is practiced. One oh.
serves the helium ous little log barns, fifteen by
twenty feet square, and teti feet high, scattered
over the lower Alps. Into these shanties the
hay is thrown while half dry and thoroughly
trodden down. It shortly ferments, and the
hay becomes dark brown in color, and forms
quite a solid mass, which may be cut with a
spade. Prof. Frans, of the Munich University,
says in his "Principles of Agriculture," that
this so called "brown hay'' is as good as the
ordinary hay ; it is in fact preferred by cattle,
and appears to be more nourishing.—Maine
Farmer. ,
HOW MUCH SHOULD A Cow EAT. —Cows to
givemilli, require inure food than most farmers
imagine. S. W. Johnson writing from Munich
to the Country Gentleman, gives un interesting,
report of sonic experiments, which have been
inade in Bavaria, frota which tlio following i 1
an extract
t‘flur hit& have confirmed the view that
cows to give the greatest possible quantity of
milk must daily receive and consume one
thirtieth of their live weight in - hay, or an
equivalent therefore:- more food be given,
it goes to the formation of flesh and fat, without
occasioning a corresponding increase in the
yield of milk ; but if 011 the contrary, less food
be furnished the amount and value of the mills
will be greatly diminished."
