,the eldest of
these, the : daughter, that our tale has to

The opening of the:year 1827 found this
little flintily in the enl i ovinent of unalloyed
prosperity and happine - se.. All, Or even
more, than Mrs. Lee's ambition 'for her
daughter, also,:seemed_about to be grati

torof the parish, the elder son of a poor
but aristocratic family, who had conseht
ed, not without some demur and unwil ;
linguess, to' his contracting an idliance
with an humble farmer's daughter. . The
marriage was to take place in -the arly.
May. But, scarcely had the first few weeks
of the spring glided away, ere all this
peace and satisfaction .were „changed to
anxiety and griefhy...a sudden and- plainly
approaching dispensation. Without any
apprrent cause, Jars. Lee's health suddenly
failed, betokening a rapid decline.

legitimate claim to the moue and position
she bore;
that "only .by . adoption And
love," as Mrs. Lee said, was she the daugh

she had hitherto called mother. It was a
short and painful history. 011, how unut
terably painful to the noble and high-spir

anguish the wisdom and kindness of this

Calmly, almost apathetically, in herdeep

.fervent emotion.
The long hours o(that.night were spoilt
in devising the means of breaking her pain

!coitunit it ¶o paper, and as soon m the
tittAily were.stirring,• she rose front 'her
Sleepless couch, and gathering writing ma
tertals, seated herself at het- little .table.
After beginning and casting aside severaLi
sheets, she wrote briefly .its follows :
" A: painful discovery renders it My du:

• She dispatched this at once by her broth

the housemaicrin preparing the morning
meal •
A few honrs . biought the young rector
in person, and with a trembling heart she.
entered the humble parlor to meet him.—
In his countenance she , read at once he
vvilderment, anxiety and distress, but there
was no change in. his -usual affectionate
greeting. Side by side they sat down on
the sofa, and an earnest conversation fol
lowed.
In answer to his iminiries, she narrated'
to him fully all that Mrs - .-Lee Made
known to her ; - and.then - She listened with
glad surprise to his warm refusal to be
front their engagement. But should
she take advantage of his generosity And
again her heart saddened:
But his perstutiion conquered. Let the
secret still remain buried in Mr. Lee's bo
som. It would be both idle and painful
to suffer it now to he made public. Their
marriage should tale place as soon as her
year of monrn.in bad expired. So they
parted; mutually relieved. NVith a light

• 'lt was upon her second and last evening
at the opera that the painful discovery

was brought about.
In a bo'x nearly opposite to that occu

early attracted her observation by his in

I dried somewhat, and much of it appears
tolerably sound,- but yet the colt contains

is stored in cifibs, or in latticed corwhouses,
there is danger of itbecominr , mouldy,
and Sometinthsthe corn is verf much in
jured by having the cob frozen.; This was'
the ease with tens of thousands ofbushels of
corn in the W I estern States,'id the autumn :
of 1857„ , .The, corn was harvested and
cribbed as usual, and near the. close of
November 'of that year, a few days-of ex

thought when harvested, that it was well

Such corn Willhot Makegood sheet bread,
nor do well for seed.. The raising of the

moving • it - about, -arrested all farther
mouldiness. I This is a matter worth at-.

Most farmers are now aware °rite
portant fact, that warmth and shelter for
lam stock, ma certain extent, is equiV-
r
about to an extra amount of fOod, or, in
other wads; cattle, &c., kept in, good;
warm, Well-ventilated hoveli,
sheds, require a mtiehies amount Or i
hod to keep'up or increase their growth,
than the same stock would if exposed to
the out-ibiot cold_ and storm of our north- I
ern and - westent winters for months to-:+
gether, as is too often . the improvident '
and cruel practice Of farmers in some see-.
tions of our" county. Where large nunt
hers of horses and cattle are kept in the
Lstable or hovel; there maybe some danger
of having the hovels too close and warn'
for the health of the stock; bittifapritper
•ystem of ventilation is attended to, gey
erned some What by the temperature ;of
the weather—whether very cold or mod
erate, .or quite warm—little fear 'need
there be of having the, hovels too warm.
In very cold weather but little fresh 'is
needed, in addition to that -which will
force its way into the hovel through the..
"cracks and crevices;" in milder weather
:more air should. be admitted ; in :warm •
weather the doors and windows should be
kept open. •To manage these natters
aright, reqaire,s attention and judgment on
the part of those having charge ,of tbe
thrm during winter; Farmers differ.sonie
what in their management of sheep and
young cattle. Some prefer keeping their
sheep mostly in the • barn, where they
have.suitable feeding racks • others give
their flock the choice .of sleeping, in
barn or out-doors. For the best health
of the sheep, whether they lodge out-doors
or under cover,"they should be well litter
ed with straw, refuse hay, *Or dry leaves.
Some farmers, of late years, "tie tir"
their cattle, old and young, 'giving them
the range of the barn-yard .for an-hourdr
two each day through the winter, if not
I - too - cold or stormy., It iS thought by sticli
hfitrmerS that their cattle do better aitd:re
• quire leis hay than if alloWed theirliher
ty to range far and near. Others 'think
that their young cattle do better to have
their liberty in the . yard; 60intler sheds,_
or the barn cellar, and fed 'from suitable
boxes or racks. Thesesare matters about
which farmers, will decide tor themselVes.
In the meantline l ' we will suggest that
from this tQ the first of December; 4‘tVilibe
a good time to make all needful arrange

front her parents, and started for the first
town across the Pennsylvania line be
married, where the 'ceremony could; be

girl-,--a tall, gaunt, sharp featured fernale
of sonic thirty-seven.summers. The pair
crossed the line, were marrir.d and .re--
turned - to Wellsville to paSs theolight.
People at :the hotel where the wedding,
party -stopped ; observed that they con-,
ducted themselves in rather a singalar .
manner. --The• husband would take his
sister-in-law, the tall female aforesaid,-into
one corner of the parlor and talk earnest
ly toiler; gesticulating wildly the, nifile.
Then the tall female would "put her fbot
down" and talk in
_an angry and, excited
manner. Then "the husband would lake
his fair, young bride, into a corner, but he
no sooner. commenced talking to her,
than the gaunt, sister would rush hi he
tween them and angrily join 'in the eini,-
versation.. The people at the hotel as
certained what this meant by about nine
o'clock that evening. There. was an imp
roar in the room assigned to .the nettly
married couple. Female shrieks and mas
culine " swear" startled the people at the
hotel, and 'they rushed to the !!'pot. The
gafinv fernale was pressing and - kicking
against' the door of. the room; and ;the
newly-married man, mostly'-undressed,
was barring her out with all his tnight.
Occasionally she would kick the floor- far
enough open to disclose theist:xlwartljus
band in Ids gentleman Greek ,tilave!ap

It appeaied that the tall female insiSka
upon occupying the. same room with the
newly-wedded pair, and, that her sister
