'My daughter,' said Mr. Grafton,. as suming a uildcr tone, though you may have heard reports unfavorable to Mr. Steven?, believe me they are without foun dation. Ho is one of the wealthiest men in the city.' 'He may be all that you think he in,' said Maria, 'but I cannot marry him.' 'You ay go to your chamber,' said the father, 'I am determined that Henry Stevens shall be my eon-in-law, and you must marry him or quit my bouse-r-I will neither own nor support an ungrateful and disobedient daughter. To-morrow I shall expect an answer. Maria knew too well the character of her father to make any reply. She knew that her refusal of Stevens would bring down his wrath on her head, and had written to both of her sisters stating the circumstances, and requesting, in case her father should drive her from the house, tho privilege of remaing a short time with them. Their husbands haung married them more on account of their father's wealth than for any affection they had felt for them, feared that if they gave Maria a home, their father would disin herit them. Sach is the effect which wealth has on the affections. Maria retired to her chamber, and after giving veut to: a flood of tears, de liberated what course to puisue. One thing was certain, she was determined not to marry Stevens. The next thing was how could she obtain a living ? Af ter thinking over the matter some time she said to herself: 'Well, I have a good constitution and can labor; but bow would it appear for the daughter of the rich Mr. Grafton to go about the city seeking employment.' At last she concluded that rather than remain in the eity, she would go to some village, and, if possible obtain employ sent. At this moment she" recollect bay ing beard one of the housemaids speak of being employed in a factory, and she descended to the kitchen.

I liked it very much, Miss Maria, and should have remained there, had my health been good.' Was the work harder than your work here !' enquired Maria. No ma'am, I don't think it was, but it was more confining. Will you tell me where it is?' enquir ed Maria. The girl gave the required informations and the name of the overseer of the room where she had worked, and the name of tho lady with whom she bad boarded, adding, 'ahe is the kindest woman I ever saw.' The mind of Maria was now made up. Sbo decided upon entering a factory. Another difficulty now presented itself Would her father allow her to take ber clothing and what money she had; she determined that if he should still adhere to his resolution, to ask him the question. In the morning she met ber f. breakfast table. At length ather at the her father enquirea: 'Well, Maria, have you concluded to marry Mr. Stevens !' Maria hesitated a moment, but said firmly, 'I have not.' You heard . my determination last night' said he; 'I now repeat it you Must marry Stevens, or quit my bouse.' 'I cannot marry him, father,' said she; 'sooner would I quit not only this house, but the world 7' 'Then go 1' aid he, angrily raising from thc chair. Shall 1 take my clothes !' asked Maria.

When tho brave girl recovered, she told her story, and was warmly con gratulated on ber courago and presence of mind. All admired tho horse,, wbieh was of striking beauty. A small leather valise was .attached to its saddle; Father Koffkirch would not suffer it to be open ed except in the presence of the burgo master. On tbo morrow,whtch was Sunday, the inn-keeper, his wife, their guests, all set out to the neighboring town, whero they intended after service to. acquaint the burgomaster with tho last evening's ad venture. Krettel, loft sole guardian of -the house, was advised not to admit any one until her master's return.

On refut-ing their request to open the door, the two .men threatened to scale the wall. The poor girl trembled with fear; her courage was nigh deserting her; for she knew they could easily accomplish their project by means of the iron bars fixed to the wiudows of the lower story. In this perplexity Krettel looked around her, and her eyes fell on a musket which hun from the wall, a relio of her master's younger days. Sbo seized it arid point ed the muzzle out of the window, and cried out that she would fire on the first man who attempted to ascend. The two robbers, for such they were, could no longer bo doubted struck dumb at the fire-arms when expecting no resistance, they had brought no woapous, and confounded by such intrepidity,, went away uttering the most fearful menaces, and vowinjr to return in creator force.

Of eourso they are profitable fo the farmers, and crriMill 1 n rt A o -r. A i. t - uuuages, WHO i,.,i 1 1 mi - . , , i breed them. 1 bis is a good month to set . . . . o kwjou . tlio hens, and hatch them out. For this purpose, a warm henhouse, and coops in sunny places, are required. Let the cs bt DO e kept m a proper temperature, till the hen is" ready to set on them. Thirteen is the proper number for a clutch of chick ens. When hatched, if milk curds can be had, this is their best food. If not, soaked bread for the first few days, and' after that, Indial meal well cooked, like mush for your own table. Raw meal wet up in the usual way, is harah and scour ing for their delicate stomachs. When a few weeks old, chopped cabbage, shives, and other tender vegetables, are to ne ad ded, and sour milk is the very best drink5 they can have. We should by all means, entrust the early chickens to woman's care. She seems to possess the necessary instincts worth all the boys and men in the coun try. "We have known a Scotch, Dutch or Irish washerwoman's cotfage, surrounded by a close wall, alive with early ehickenf when the gentleman's and farmer's prem ises would scarce sudd v a fowl for tho. t..i bio before September, Don't keep the 'big' breeds for 'Sprint ickenn' either. A close, compact, carl v eh natural fowl is the thing for this nurnose. In most large tows a plump, fat chich. the size of a quail, will sell for as much in May or June, as a full grown one will in October; and if they only know you have them, tho tavern-keepers and peddlers will be after them every day in the week. io the habit these latter people have:of coufiuing them in close, filthy coops .for days together, we enter our protest. It poisons and defiles the taste of the flesh- ft makes them poor. Exercise, good air and plenty of good food they should have, till they are wanted for the table; aud ev ery one who keeps them on hand for im mediate use, should be well provided with yards, and roosting accommodation: To make chickens cdibly perfect they should come on the table plump, juicy, and full of their own natural gra vy. 'Plump a? a partridge,' is the term which should be truthfully applied to tho early chicken; and if they be not so, Iralf their excel- ence is lost, while, if in perfection of'fiesh they are a positive luxury.
