    MISS KETUIUll'S YEAiUINtt.
" I doivt believe Ketury would sell
that critter for its weight in gold. It's
a cosset brought up on cream, I tell her,
and seeing she's notional with nothing
but hens and ducks and live stock to
keep her company, it ain't a wonder she
sets such store by what she's raised.
That's just how the casu stands, 'Li
sherl" The man addressed as " Lisher " was
leaning on a pair of bars that led into
Miss Keturah's pasture, doing just what
the good book commands us not to do,
viz : " Coveting his neighbor's posses
sions." " I jocks," said he, with his gaze fixed
on a pretty, frolicsome young animal,
clean of limb and straight of back, with
soft, bright eyes, like a girl's, ' I wish I
could contrive to get hold of that Al
derney yearling j there ain't another
like her in the county, and I'd be will
ing to fork down almost anything Ketu
ry might ask."
" You'd better not get your heart set
on it," said his brother Jaboz, in the tone
of deliberate emphasis common to him,
' I do believe Ketury would almost as
soon give you herself as part with that
yearling."
Just then the graceful creature in the
lot, with her white feet buried in rich
feed, and a wisp of grass dangling from
her month, 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 the shade of the butternut tree,
where the two men halted to look over
tho roil fence. "I must be getting
home,'' said he, " or my old woman will
scold about my keeping the supper
standin'. You hain't got any wife, 'Li
Bher, 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 showing. 'Lisha, however, lingered
in the road. Ho was a different build
from his brother, not so square and thick
set, but taller, with cheeks hollowing in
a little about the mouth, a bushy beard,
and kind gray eyes. He lingered be
hind, half musing on the words Jabez
had so carelessly spoken. " I 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 need
ed the assurance of their truth for along
time.
There, down the road, which wound a
little, and clasped a thicket ot trees in
the crook of its arm, was the old red
farm-house where Keturah lived. It
was a homely place, and no effort had
been made to fix it up ; but its air of
snugness suggested comtort and good
cheer. The sheds and out-houses Strug
eled to the barn, or else the barn strag
gled to the sheds. There was plenty of
shade from cherry and apple-trees, where
robins and thrushes nested. The old
caves were swallow-haunted, and there
was a roomy, old-fashioned garden, and
a patch of green sward, sprinkled with
white clover, where Keturah stretched
her drying-line, and let her clothes nut'
ter out Monday morning earlier than
any of her neighbors. It was a tidy old
place, and had come down to her from
her father's estate, with a few outlying
fields, well fenced and tilled ; a bit of
timber land, a good spring of water, and
several other blessings belonging to this
sublunary sphere.
Keturah knew how to prize her inde-
pendence. There 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 pret-
ty plain duties. She was not supposed
to be very friendly to matrimony, and
Bhe did enjoy being lier own mistress,
with an unlimited scope for the exercise
of that which is known in New England
as faculty.
Bhe was a woman of middle height,
with bright, frank, blue eyes, a face
fresh yet in color, and dark hair, combed
smooth behind her ears, and twisted in
a smallish knot at the back of her head,
None of those chin-yarns, as Miss Ketu
rah said, for her. She was a world too
sensible to wear a false wad on her cra
nium. She had been out just at night
fall to attend to her chickens, and to see
that they were all in the coops, under
the feathers of the clucking hens. A lit
tle invalid creature, a pretty ball of
down, with a sprained ankle, she brought
and put in a warm basket on the man
tel. There was a shrewish wind blow-
ing outside, although it was May, with
blossoms from the apple-trees whirling
down to the grass. A small wood-tire
snapped and crackled on Miss Keturah's
hearth, and the lilacs were in bloom,
and the door-yard gay with jonquils and
datty-down-dilJies. The dog and cat,
sleek and well fed. as doe and cat need
be, were lying on the hearth in their
own appointed places, and there sat
Miss Keturah, with a little round stand
beside her, in the circle of light from the
genial fire, sewing away on a pair of un
mentionables for little Billy Sbaw. Mrs.
Shaw, bis mother, was poor, always in
hot water, with a dreadful want of cal
culation and good judgment in her up
per story. It was either a fdast or f
famine in the Shaw establishment all
the while. The juvenile Shaws had to
go without their crust buttered six days
in the week : but if on the seventh their
mother happened to earn a dollar, just
as likely as not it was all spent in but
ter, and eaten up at one meal. Keturah
despised such shiftlessness, but her hands
never stopped doing for tho bhaws.
Now, as she sat there, in tur cheerful
and contented loneliness; with the big
clock ticking in the corner, there came a
Knock at the door.
" Come in, Johnny Shaw," called out
iteturah, without turning: round
" There's the bag of potatoes I promised
your mother in the cellar-way. You
can help yourself. I shall churn to
morrow, and your mother may send over
lor a pail of buttermilk.
" Ahem !"
Keturah turned around suddenly, and
there stood J-iisha Hates holding bis bat.
and looking into it as if he expected to
discover the profoundest wisdom in its
dopths.
Sakes alive I" exclaimed Miss Ketu
rah, "you gav6 me such a start.
thought, to be sure.it was Johnny Shaw,
Take a chair, 'Lisher, and draw up to the
fire. Gold, ain't it, for this time of the
years'"
"Good for blue noses," said Lisher,
but he felt, as he expressed it afterward
" Btreaked," much as a man feels when
he is about to break tho ice, and plunge
' into a cold bath. Howover, he sat down
on the edge of a chair, carefully deposit-
ed his hat under it, took out his red silk
handkerchief and mopped his face all
over. .
There was a little preliminary clear
ing of the throat, and then 'Lisher said
with that circumlocution of speech ha
bitual to the born Yankee :
" I don't s'poeo, Keturah, you've got
any crass seed you'd be willing to part
with for a fair price r"
" Going to put down more of your
land to grass ?" inquired Keturah, with
slight accent ot disapproval.
"1 was sauinting that way," returned
Lisher, hesitatingly, almost wishing he
could back out of the scrape, and go to
grass himself, but he gave a hitch to his
ohair that brought mm a little nearer
Keturah on the other side of the stand.
" Instead of seeding down any more,
if I had your farm, 1 should put a few
barrels of lime on the triangle lot, and
sow in with clover."
" That's what I mean to do," respond
ed 'Lisher, giving his chair another
hitch, utterly forgetful of St. ram s com
mand, "I suffer not a woman to toach."
Your pasture looks uncommon well
this spring," he added.
" Yes, the feed is good," said Keturah,
sewing away calmly in the candlo light.
Tho chair bitched a nttio nearer.
Keturah, that's a mighty fine Alderney
yearling of yours." The tone was soft,
persuasive, and melting.
Keturah just raised ber eyebrows.
Umph I" she knew what 'Lish was dri
ving at now.
The chair hitched a little nearer, the
tone grew more coaxing and oily. " Ke
turah, wouldn't you, couldn't you be
persuaded to sell me that critter 't"
The small unmentionables aroppoa
from Keturah's hand ; the audacity of
the request tilled her with amazement.
" How can you ask such a question,
Lisher Bates '( You know I wouldnt
part with that heifer for any money."
'Lisher had heard that " where there's
a will there's a way," and another wise
saw : " faint heart never won fair lady."
He determined upon a strike. " Then,
Keturah," said he, suddenly, you must
marry me, for I'm determed to get a lien
on that there critter, some way or oth
er." If 'Lasher's unheard of temerity had
stopped here, Keturah would probably
have thrown the small unmentionable at
him, but ho did not wait for such a dis
aster he got up, made one stride over
to where the bewildered spinster sat,
and gave her a rousing kiss on her
cheek. It is utterly impossible to pre
dict what would bavo bappeucd it an
unmistakable " snicker had not sound
ed through tho room. The door had
opened during the love scene above de
scribed, and admitted Johnny Shaw,
just in time to witness the denouement,
He had come lor " them potatoes.
"Them potatoes"-saved 'Lisher's ba
con, although I suspect Keturah had al
ways bad a sneaking kindness lor .La
sher. At any rate, some months after
ward she gave him the yearling and her
self along with it ; and he being a good
man, who knew the use ot a door mat,
was regular to his meals, and was appre
ciative of an excellent wife, whose price
is above rubies, I can safely say that Ke
turah's last state has not been worse
than her first; and as to the yearling, it
has grown to be a iauious cow, the best
milker in the county, and lives in per
petual clover. The litxolution.
Tlio Duke's Mittens.
In the winter of 181", says the author
of " lleminiscences ot iutty lears, the
wife of an industrious blacksmith in Ks-
sex resolved to knit a pair of mittens for
the Duke ot V ellington, as she had to
ask his Graca a favor, to which the gift
was to be introductory.
The mittens were received at Apsley
House, and the Duke wore them the
same day at the Horse-Guards, showing
them, with a smile, to his military col
leagues there, and desiring that the
honest dame's request might be imme
diately attended to. She stated that her
husband had been one of his Grace's sol
diers, and that he had had the misfor
tune of losing his Waterloo medal, which
he had always worn on the anniversary
of his marriage. She stated that this
anniversary was again approaching, and
that she would ever ieel deeply gratetu
if the Duke would allow another medal
to be issued, as the loss had seriously af
fected her husband s spirits, bhe would
only further trespass on his Grace so far
as to solicit that the medal should be
sent to her privately, as she wrote with
out her husband's knowledge, and wished
to give her partner an agreeable sur
prise on the arrival of the wedding-day,
This was speedily approaching. The
Duke had ordered that her request
should be attended to, but the poor wife
had received no medal, bhe accordingly
ventured to address a second letter to
the Duke ; this was soon known at the
Horse-Guards. His Grace arrived there
one morning in a towering passion,
dashed the letter down on the table, and
demanded to know why his orders had
been neglected. The matter had been
overlooked. An instant reference was
made to a gentleman in Essex, who in
quired if the claim was a correct one
this proving to be the case, the medal
was dispatched without delay, but
whether in time for the nuptiul day is
uncertain.
Oyster Culture in Enn.pc.
A valuable contribution to the science
of animal culture, if we may use the
term, is tound in the report of a com
mission appointed in Ireland to inquire
into the methods ot oyster culture in
the United Kingdom and France, with
a view to the introduction of improved
methods of cultivation. This appears
to be by far the most complete and
practical account of the subject that has
yet been published, including, as it does,
the investigations prosecuted under pub
lie and private auspices in the different
countries of Europe. After a discussion
of the oyster fisheries of England, and
giving a description of the different
methods and places of culture, it ro
marks, in conclusion, that while not con
curring in the opinion put forward by
some as to the extraordinary profit:
to be realized from oyster cultivation,
the commissioners believe that, if "judi
ciously undertaken and prudently and
perseveriugiy carried out, it is prohtable,
and that there is much to encourage au
enterprise of the kind. It also states that
Ireland possesses external advantages
tor the culture, on account of the feed
ing process being attended with so lit
tle risk, and. thiuks that ten times the
amount of oysters now actually gather
ed in Ireland could find a ready sale.
A summary of the principal laws re
lating to oyster culture in different
countries of Europe, with tables of tern
peratures and other information, con
cludes the report, which is well illustrat
ed with drawings of the oyster in its dif
ferent stages of growth, and plans of
the localities wnere tue business ot oys
ter raising is prosecuted.

Slock Journal savs: Fill an ordinary

follow the above in half an hour with a

ordinary garden sage; next day give
the horse a teed ot rougn rice, and tne
dead botts will come oft' with the rice.
My theory is that the milk and mo
lasses being sweeter than blood, the
botts turn loose to eat it. The sage tea
will kill them, and it is tho only thing I
ever heard of that will do it without in

no good.
Leached Ashes as a Manure. An
agricultural journal of Germany calls
renewed attention to the great value, as
a manure, of soap-boilers' leached ashts,
which, as is well known, ore prepared
by mixing wood ashes with fresh burnt
lime and boiling or leaching the two to
gether for the purpose ot obtaining a
caustic lye. Although the soluble salts
ore removed from these ashes, the insol
uble parts remain, namely, the carbon
ates, sulphates and phosphates, princi
pally lime salts, accompanied generally
by a little caustic lime. Experience has
shown that there is no substance equal
to leached ashes ot this kind tor manure,
not excepting even the richest guanos ;
the vegetation ot the cereals becoming
broader than common by its use, and
the stalks more tubular, while the leaves
grow of a dark bluish green. The value
of this application is seen more particu
larly on meadows, whore, curiously
enough, nearly all the ordinary grass
disappears in consequence, and instead
ot it a thick vegetation ot red Clover is
met with, which will be renewed year
by year for a long time, without addi
tional supply.
Thouhle ix CnunxixG. A lady cor
respondent of the 1 rairte Farmer, notic
ing an inquiry from some one tor
remedy for cream frothing instead of
churning, writes that she has found out
that this is caused by carbonic acid
gas, which is heavier than atmospheric
air, collecting m cellars or where- milk
is kept. It, somehow, by uniting with
the cream m a small portion, causes it
to troth and to be hard to churn, and
the butter be very poor when done, and
when there is much ot it in the cream,
it will not churn butter at all. She
adds : " The remedy I have found that
will entirely prevent it, is quicklime,
freely used, where the milk is kept,
either in lime water, or the lime strewed
in the collar. After the gas is once re
moved it can be prevented by a vessel
of lime being kept in the cellar and re
moved when necessary ; and you will
have no trouble in churning winter or
summer."

visible, the stem is topped down to the
cluster, so that the flowers terminate the

the branch to which they belong is ulso

done successively. By this moans the

to prevent their fulling over, sticks or

The Children's Laud.
One of the first things that strikes the
attention of au American in Germany,
when he begins to get a little insight
into tue lite of the people, (Siys Jjr.
Hurst, iu The MetwdiH,) is the equality
and sympathy existing between parents
and children. Iu no country do parents
take more pains, aud likely not so much
to enter the very hearts and lives of
their children than here. They very
cunjr un.no kaoui tKipaiiiLou wiiu tunr
plans, talk with them as to older people,
never go on an excursion or jouruey
without them, and search everywhere
for whatever will minister to their
amusement and instruction. In uo home
would I sooner expect to find a father
I turning himself into a horse, an elu-
pliant, or a barrel on bis parlor floor,
for his children to ride him, roll him
over, or do with him what they please,
than in a uerniau one ami tne clergy
man s as soon as any other. There are

children, and providing everything pos
sible for the amusement of all, to make
their homes the most attractive spot on
earth to the little folks. The child that
asks a question is not met with a blunt
answer, but with such a reply as pleas-
ant aud instructive at the parent know
how to give as naturally promotes
other inquiries and gives stimulus to the
mind.
Ono of the causes of the equality be
tween the old and young here lies in tho
fact that the child, at any rate the eldest
boy, is expected to follow his father's
business, and must early share his plans.
Thn same houBe. the same employment.
and I should not wonder if sometimes
the same generation of customers, are
identified with tho same family and
name, to the defiance of changes of gov-
ernments, from century to century. If
Luther and Melancthon Bhould arise
from tho stone floor of the old Castlo
church in Wittenburg, and be under
the necessity of going shopping together,
it would not be unlikely that they could
buy books, stationery, clothing, and.
groceries, and get every want supplied,
at about tho same Blinps that they pat
ronized throe hundred years ago.
But there is a tar deeper cause the
Germans love children, and tho morn
they havo the greater their joy. Ho
soon as another is added to tho number,
the father is expected to communicato
by letter tho fact to all his near and re
mote relatives and friends, and in duo
time he has every reason to expect con
gratulatory letters from them in return.
The fact is stated in the papers, and
then more letters come. The little
stranger is fairly smothered with pres
ents. When the baptism comes, which
is expected to take placo with a few
weeks after birth, a great feast is given,
and friends coino from far and near.

Attempts are making abroad to intro
duce the artificial growth of the finer
and more valuable sponges. V hen the
sponge is first gathered ot tho bottom of
thoTsea, it is covered with a black gelati
nous substance, resembling vcgctablo
granulations, among which microscopic
white and ovitorm bodies may ue ois-
tinguished. These are the larnu des
tined to perpetuate tho i-peeies. When
arrived at maturity they ure washed out
by the sea-water which incessantly Hows
through the sponge; they then swim
along by the aid of their vibrating hairs
until they reacn a suitable rock, to which
they attach themselves, and there com
mence a new life. This emigration of
the larvsu from the parent sponge occurs
about the end of June oud beginning ot
Jul v. The sponge prelerred fjr this
purpose are those found on the coasts of
Syria, where they are collected before
the peifection of the larvic, transported
to the localities desired, and arranged in
stone troughs und sunk.
