It's a cosset broUght up on bream, I tell her, and see ing she's notional to keep her ciompany,it ain't a wonder she sets such store by what she's raised. That's just how the case stands, Lisher r ' The Man addressed as "Lieber," was leaning on a pair of bars that led into Miss Keturah's pasture, doing just what the - geridd hook commands nanot to do,viz: "Coveting his neighbor's possessions." "I jocks," said he, with hill gaze fixed on a pretty, frolicsome ' young animal, clean of limb and straight of back, with soft, bright eyes, like a girl's,"l wish I could contrive to got hold of hat Alder neyyearling :.there ain't another like her in'the country,MulTd be frilling to fork. down anything Ketury might ask." "You'd better not get your heart set on it," said his brother Jabez, in the tone of deliberate emphasis, common to him, "I do believe Ketury wonld almost as soon give you herself, as part with that year lin." Just then the graceful creature in the lot, with her white feet buried in rich feed, and a whisp of: gran dangling from her mouth, gave a little caper, and a frisk of the tail, as much as to say, "You'd better believe." Jabez, the _elder brother, moved out from theshade of the butternut tree, where the two men halted to look over thevail fence. "I musthe gettin g home," raid he, "or my old woman Frill scold about my keeping the table standing. You ain't got any wife, Usher, to fret if you don't come to time on meals." Jabez, a sturdy, bronzed farmer, went trudging his way homeward with his coat over his arm, and his checked shirt-sleeves, and the red flannel back to his vest show ing. Lisher, however, lingered in the road. He was,a-different build from his brother,- not sosquare and thick set, but taller, with cheeks hollowing in a little about the mouth, a bushy beard and kind grey eye.. He lingered behind, half mus ing on the words Jubez bad so carelessly spoken. '"t believe Ketury would almost as lieves give you herself." He knew'his brother meant nothing, but the words were sweet to him. It seemed as though he had needed:the assurance of their truth for a long time. I There, down the road, which wound a little, and clasped a thicket of trees in the crook of its arm, was the old red farm. house where Keturah lived. It was a homely place,and no effort bad been made to fix it up; but its air of snugness sug gested comfort and good cheer. The sheds and ont-honses straggled to the barn, or else the barn straggled to the sheds.— There was plenty-of shado.from the cher ry 'and apple trees, where robins and thrushes nestled. The old eaves were swallow haunted, and there was a roomy. old-fashioned garden, and a patch of green sward, sprinkled with white clover, where Keturali stretched her drying line, and let her clothes flitter out Monday morning earlier than any of her neighbors. It was a tidy old place, and had conic down to her from her father's estate, with a'fevi oat-lying fields, well fenced and tilled ; a bit of timber hind, a good spring of water and several other- blessings belonging to this sublunary sphere. Keturah knew how to prize her hide pendence. ,Theta; were a few plain rules she never transgressed; to deal fairly, to always live within her means, and to make the most of blessings, seemed pretty plain duties. She was not supposed to be friend ly to matritnohy, and she did enjoy being her own mistress, with an nnlimited scope for the exercise of that which is knownin New EnglaUd as : faculty- - She was is :woman of middle height, with bright, frank, blue eyes, a face fresh yet in color, and dark hair, combed smoothly behind her ears, and twisted in a smallish knot at the back of her head. None of these; thin-yarnaas Miss Keturuh said, for Der.: She was a world too,sensi ble to wear a false wad on her cranium.— She had been'tout jnst at nightfall to at tend herrickens, and to , see that they were all in the , coops , under the feathers of the chi ling hens. iAn invalid crea ture, a pretty ball of down, with a sprain ed ankle, she brought and put in a warm basket on the mantel. There was a shrew ish wind blowing entside, although it Was May, with blessoins from the apple trees whirling Own to thoass. Asmall wood fire snapped and cracked on .Miss Ke ttirah's hearth, and the lilacs were in bloom, and 'ho door yard gay with jon quils and da y-d•iwn dillies. The dog and cat, sleek an . well fed as dog and cat need be, were lyin ou the hearth in their own appointed places, and there Miss Ketarah sat, with a little round stand beside her, in the circle Or light from the genial fire, wiling away at a pair of unmentionables, for little Billy! Shaw. Mrs. Shaw, his mother, was 'poor, always in hot water, With a dre.silfu want of ..tralonlatiou and good judgmeht in her upper stoiy..lt was either a feast o a famine in the Shaw es tablishment all the time. The juvenile Shows had to go without. their crust but tered six days 'lithe week;.but if on the seventh - their in ether happened to earn "a dollar, jtist asakely as not it was all spent in butter, atiefeten up at one meal. Ile turah despised such shiftlessness, but he? hands never , stopped doing good for the Shaws. i 1 • , . Now, as she at the& in her cheerful and contented loneliness, with the. big clock ticking in the corner, there came a knock at the door. "CO* ini 3°11'44 Shale,"eallej out Zotnrah, - without, turning robndi--- !There's the Rig 4 potatoes •Lp_ronused -year reother in the cellar-way.. - You , can help; yoirsalf. - .1 shall churn to-morrow, and your wither tray said over-for a pail m of butteitilk."

However he eat down on the edge of a- chair, carefully.depositing his hat under it, took out his red silk hand ,4 kerchief, and mopped his face titterer. There was a preliminary clearing of the throat, and then Lisher said, with that circumlocution of speech habitual to the born Yankee: "I don't epose lieturah, you've got any grass seed you'd be willing to part with for a fair pnce "Going to put down more of your land to grass?" inquired Retard), with a slight accent of disapproval. "I was squinting that way l" .returned Lisher, hesitatingly, almost wishing he could babk out of the sonfpe, and go to grass himself, brit be gave a hitch to his chair that brought him a little nearer St torah, oti the other side of the 'stand. "Instead of seeding down any more, if I had your farm, I should put a few bar rels of limo on the triangular lot, and sow with clover." "That's what I mean to do," responded Lieber, giving his chair another 'Mob, ut terly forgetful of St. Paul's 'command, "Suffer not women to teach." "Your pas ture looks uncommon well 'this spring," he added. "Yes, the feed is good," said Keturah, i sewing away calmly n the candle light. The chair hitched a little nearer. "Ke turah,tbat'a a mighty fine Alderney yearl ing of yours." The tone was soft, persua sive, and melting. Keturah just raised her eyebrows;:— "L'mph 1" she knew what Lish was driv ing at now. The chair hitched a little nearer, the tone grew more coaxing, and oily. "Be tory, would'ult you, conld'nt you bo per suaded to sell me that critter ?." The small unmentionables dropped from Betiimh's hand; the audhuity dm) ro quest filled her .with anvement; "How can von ask such a question, tither Bates ? . You know I would'nt part with her for any money." Lisher had heard that "where there's a will there's a way," and another wise say ing: "Faint heart never won fair lady." He determined upon the strike. "Then Ketriaili;\ said he, suddenly, "you mutt marry me, Tor I am determined to get a lien on that critter, some way or other." If his unheard of temerity had stopped here, Seawall might have thrown the small unmentionables at him, but he did not wait 'for such" a dlsaster—he got up, made one stride over to where the, bewildered spinster Sat, and gave her'a rousing kiss un' the cheek. It is utterly impossible to predict what would have happened, if an nninistakable "snicker" had not soundeiithrOugh the room. The door hadnp'ened during the loving scene, above described, and admitted Johnny Shaw, just in time to witness the denoue msnt. Ile had come for "them potatoes." "Them potatoes" saved Lishir's bacon, althungh I suspect Kettirali had always a sneaking kindness for Usher. At any rate, some months afterward she gave him the yearling and herself along with it; and he-being•a good man, who knew the use of the door mat, was regular to, bis meals, and was appreciative of a good wife, whose price is above rubies, I can safely say that Keturales last state has not been worse than her first; and as to the yearl ing, it has grown to be a fanons'cow, the best milker in the country and lives in per petualclover. Buffing a Store by Steam. On the Upper Sacramento River a novel business has, for a number of years, been conducted by Captain-Geerge -W. Case, which partakes somewhat of the romantic 1 style of the - homer-traders of early times,, withlhisdifference—that a well appoint ed steamer supplies the place of the prim- I itive canoe, and the customers, instead of bearing the redskins of the forest, are well-to-do families settled upon and own ing ranches along the banks of the Sacra mento River. Captain Case commenced trading between Sacramento and a point a few miles above Colusa about eight years ago, by taking a small'harge load of goods as high up the river as he wished to go, paying a steamer to tow him Up, and then dropping down with the current from house to house to do his trading, supply ing the settlers with whatever goods they wanted, and taking in exchange all kinds of produce, especially butter. and eggs, hides and petrees—anything that could' be converted into more goods for another trip.. Some four years ago - Captain Case built a small- steamer at a post of $6,000 and fitted her tip for the trade Which- he had found so profitable and to enable him to keep np with his increasing business. The floating store was supplied with nn assorted cargo of goodsworth freta 65,000 to $6,000, and with the assistance of a pilot and an engineer, round trips have been - made about once in two weeks ever since. The settlers along the river and this fl9ting store a great convenience and one of them informs us they get goods from the steamer just as cheaply-as they mild from merchants in town. The .Captain -and-. his steamer are anxiously looked for every week up or down, when he makes his regular calls, does his trad ing and gossipping, and posts his friends on the , news of the outside world.. .The call made, business .transacted, nod ashore"-given out, they haul in. the bow line or steam nuchor,'es thet - case may be, and steam nn to the next.. mnohe. -The. enterprise of Captain' Case has been well rewarded, as it'deserves to be, for he owns a comfortable property - in Sacramen to, be sides his steam store,a - fine stock of 'goods 'and being in the enjoyment- of an :,unin terrupted and ..iriereasing , ..trade.,,M Democrat. - - • • . -A storekeeper at , :Qamm Mich, haying a pup that habitually.. upset the paint cansfla the rear end of the store, rubbed the dog'a nose in the spilled paint as tt reminder that he must not do. -so agam, Last - week the animal'again spill ed the paint, and, observing that histnas ter was engaged in waiting on a customer, the docile pap rubbed his own nose in the mixture end ranlowling out the back • How Beecher Beinti'Prectehlom. Beecher thus tells how. - he began to preach: "I' wasitiaked - to cross the river from Cincinnati and; preach in Coving ton ;. an d I Went over and Vegan' to preach therm I did not know but I was going to stay,there: And I was perfectly - willing to stay, But I was soon called by a worn an to Lairrenceburg. She: was the fac tor= of the whole church, And I went there and spoke tots Well-nigh empty build ing. ..I was settled over a town with two distilleries and twenty devils iu it. I was poor. There was noi patritriony coming to me, as you know: The moment I was out of the seminary I was without my fathera support, and obliged to take care of my self. I had a salary, but it was a salary of only 8400. And I took half of that to go to New England to get married with.— And as the parish paid half of it, and the other half .waii to come from the Mission= ary Society, I found myself very short of funds. I had just eighteen cents in my pocket whin I came back. I was taken up by a good Methodist brother for about a week ; and then I got two rooms. They were up stairs. One was the kitchen,tel lar and sitting room • the other was the library, bedroom and parlor. So that we had six rooms, calling each three. The cellar was made by putting things under the bed, and other rooms were added by sundry devices. You who go into flush houses, furnished byyour grandpapas and. gmndmamas, do not know anything about , the joys of housekeeping. Persons ought to begin at the bottom to know what these joys are. And I began down there. I had no idea that I could preach. I never expected that I could accomplish much; I merely went to work with the feeling, "I will do as well as I can, and I will stick to it if the Lord pleases, and tight His battle the best way I know how." And I was thankful as I could be. No body ever sent me a sparerib that I did not thank God for the kindness which was shown me. I recollect when Judge gave me his cast-pff.clothing, I felt that I was sumptuously clothed. I wore old coats and second-hand shirts for two or three years; and sometimes, as I was physically a well-developed man, and the Judge was thin and his legs were slim, they were rather a tight fit. Enamelling the Faee and the Result A lady in Lewisville paid seventy-five dollars, we are told, for having her face enamelled for the ball given at the Galt House to the Grand Duke Alexis. The enamel was warranted to last three days, and so it did. The lady was taken ill up on her return home from the ball, het: face became greatly swollen, the most acute pain succeeded, and it was only. by the employment of medical skill that her life was saved. This statement we have from an undoubted source. But the case of this lady is not so bad , 1 as that with another Louisville lady who became enamored of the odions fashion of enamelling the face. She visited another city, far to the eastward some five months ago, for the sole purpose of having her face' enamelled according to the latest Parisian mode. She had heard that a noted Parisian was engaged in the enamelling business at the city in question, and to him she went on her arrival. Fur the aum of 8500 he agreed to enamel her face so scientific ally that the enamel would remain un damaged for three years, hod a year or two longer if extra care was taken in wash ing the Tice according to his prescribed method. Tho devotee of fashion conclud -ed the bargain and paid three hundred dollars of the sum named, the balance to be paid in yearly instalments divided into three years. The lady received the enamel and returned to her home in this city.— Since her return she has disappeared from society , There was so much poison in the enamel that its effects.were almost total , paralysis .- of the facial -.nerves, and what was once a truly beautiful face is teeday a distorted, disfigured, and ukurous one.— The lady's beauty has disappeared , forever, and if her physicians succeed in saving her life they will have accomplished more than they had a right to hope for. Her eyes are terribly inflamed and disfigured, and the sight of them fast failing.—Lewis ville Ledger. Holmes on Women. . In the fourth installment of The Poet at the Breakfast Table, in the April num ber of the A tlantic, Dr. Holmes says a good mane witty and wise things about women, which might be read with pleasure and profit at the conventions over which_ Mrs. Julia Ward Howe delights to preside. For instance:— A woman, notwithstanding she is the best of listeners, knows her business, and it is wotnan's business to please. I don't say that it is not her business to vote, but I do say that tlto womsn who does not please, is a (also note in the harmonies of nature. -She may not have youth or beau ty, or even manners; but . she must have something in her TOICS or espression, or both, which it makes you'feel better dis posed toward your race tolook at or listen to. 'She knows thetas welt as we do; and her first question after you have been talk ingyour soul into ber consciousness is, I did pleaZie? A woman never forgets her sex She would rather talk with a man than an angel, aily day. And again:— " The less there is of sex about a woman, the more shit is to be dreaded. Bet take a real woman at her bestanoment--well dressed enough tribe pleased with herself, not so resplendent as to - bo a show and a sensation, with the varied outside influ ences that set vibrating the, hannonio notelet!' her nature stirring in the air about her--and what hast soeial Well) conipare with one of those vital interchanges of thought and feeling with her that make an hour memorable.. What cari'equal her tact, her delicacy, her subtlety of appro.; tension; her quickness to feel the Changes of temperature as the warm and cool cur rents of talk blew by turns? At one moment she is m icroscoincally intellectual, critical, scrupulous inludgment as an an alyst's balance, and tho nest as symphetie as the open rose that sweetens the wind front whatever quarter it finds its way to her bosom. It is in the hospitable soul of woman , that a Man fotgeb3heis a'etrun ger; and 'so becomes natural and truthful, at the same time that he is Mesmerized by an these • divine ditierencea whieb' inks her a-mystery and a bewilderment.- - Wild mu. Among the white scontkwereumubered some of the most noted of 'their class.— The most prominent. roan Among them was "Wild Bill," whose highly varied ea , ' receives made the subject of an illustkated sketch , in 'ono of• the popular. monthly periodicals a few years ago. "Wild _Bill., was a strange character, just the one which a novelist might gloat over. lie was a Plainsman in every sense of the word; yet unlike any other of his chtiis.' In person he was about six feet one. inch in height, straight as the straightest of ,the wariors whose implacable The' he was ; broad , shoulders,* well-formed _chest arid limbs, and a face strikingly handsome; 'a sharp, clear blue eye, which stared. - you straight in the face when in conversation ;13 finely shaped nose,inclined to be aquilne turned month, with lips only partially concealed by a handsome. moustachK-- His hair and complexion - were those of the perfect blonde. .Tbe formey wart worn- in uncut ringlets, falling carelessly over his powerful shoulders. Add to this' figure a' costume blending.the immaculate neat ness of the dandy with the extravagant taste and style of -the frontiersman; and you have "Wild Billr then as now the I most famous scout on the Plains. Whether on fOotiii on . horseback, he was one of the most perfect types of physi cal manliood I ever saw. "Of his courage there could be no question ; it had been brought to the test on too many occasions to admit.of a doubt. His skill in the use of the rifle and the pistol was unerring; while his deportment was exactly the op posite of what might be expected from a man of, his surroundings. it was entirely free from all bluster or bravado:: He sel dom spoke of himself unless requested" to do so. His conversation, strange to say, never bordered either on the vulgar or blasphemous. His influence among- the frontiersmen_ unbounded, his word .was law • and are the personal quar rels anedisturbar.ces which he has check ed among his comrades by his simple an .nonneement that "thin has gone Tar enough,"•if need be; followed by the om inous warning that when persisted in or renewed the quarreler"must settle it with me." "Wild Bill" is anything lad a cinairel some man ; yet no one but himself can enumerate the many conflicts in which. he has been engaged, and whicll have almost invariably resulted in the death of his ad 'versary. I have a personal knowledge of at least half a dozen men whom he has at various times killedyone of these being at the time a member of my command.— Others have been severely wounded,yet he always escaped unhurt. On: the Plains every man openly carries his belt with its. invariable appendages, knife and revolver —often two of the latter. "Wild Bar' always carries two hand some ivory-handled revolvent of the large size : lie was never Seem without them.— Where this is the common custom, bra,wls or personal difficulties are seldom if ever settled by blows. The quarrel is not from a word to a blow, but from a word to the revolver, and he who can driw and fire first is the best mau. No civil lan. reaches him; none is applied for. In fact, there is no law recognized beyond the , frontier but that of "might makes ri,ght." Should death result from the quarrel, as it usually does, no coroner's jury is impanneled to learn the tame of the death, and the sur vivor is not arrested. Bat instead of these old-fashioned proceedings, a meeting of citizenstatesplace, the &writer' is req cd to be present, when the.circumstoneee of the homicide aro inquired into, and the, unfailing verdict of 'justifiable," "self-de fence,". etc., is pronounced, and the law stands vindicated. That justice is often deprived of a victim there ¬ a doubt. Yet in all of the many affifirs of this kind in which "Wild , Bill" has 'peiforateti a imrt, and which have come • to my knowledge, there is not a single instance in which the verdict of twelve fair-minded men would not be pronounced in his favor.--ifpr Galaxy.

It will be two hundred years in June since Peter the great - was born, and it is proposed to celebrate with due solemnity the memorable day—the eleventh' of, the month—which gave to Russia its greittPst Emperor. As usual in this highly culti vated age, the commemoration will assume a prominently educational Oharacter, the foundation of two six-class• elementary schools being contemplated, for the build ing of which, government has set ap t lri a sum 0t2,000 roubles, and for the main tenance of which an endowment of 7,000 roubles a year is appropriated. •A statistic al, topographical and historical, account of the city of St. Petersburg is likewise to. be published in honor of the - day. Czar 'Peter's marritime merits, too, are not forgotten. An imposing stone menu ment, to be erected at lAchten, is to com memorate his gallant saving of shipwreck marines at that place, and collections will be set on foot for the enlargement of the mercantile fleet in the Baltic.
