And Agues Brexuau I threw her arms about the old mac's neck, and kissed him, and then she left the room. gilt's curious how these young folks act,' the miser uttered to himself, alter he had watched his child depart. 'There's been twenty of the .sparks alter that girl tweutyof "urn hovering around her like man-eaters after a dead body. Don't I Itnow what tbey want! It's jiy money! But Agues has never loved one of them till this Adams came along. The jack ! And now fhe wauts to get mar ried right away. Nonsense !' ;Thoold man bowed bis head ;as he vfpokc, aud he saw a drop, upon the back of his hand, it was a bright drop, and the Vays of the setting bun were playiug in it. J 'She cried wheu she kissed me,' he utfhi-pcred, wipius the tear trom his hard baud. 'I don t sec what makes her so 'tender-hearted. She never took it from ne; but she may have taken it from' The old man stopped, and a clcud came over bis wrinkled brow, for there was a pang in :his heart. He remembered-' the uncomplaining being who bad once been is companion the mother of his child, lie remembered she became hid wife, e .ven wheu lhe bloom of maubood had passed from "him, how she loved him,aud .nursed him and cared for him. Aud he rembered how she bad died, with a smile and .a blessing upon her lips though the gold of her husband brought her no com forts. " Noah Bremen bowed his frosted head more low, and in his heatt he wished that be could forget all but the lew fleeting joys of his wife. But he could not forget that it bad been whispered how bis wife might have lived longer, ifsbe bad bad proper clothing and proper medical attcu- te'ution. T Jiut it would have cost so much I 1 saved money 1' Ah the reflection would not remove the pang. The other memory was upper-' M Noah Bremen bad passed the allotted age of man, being over three score-and ten, and all bis life had been devoted to accumulating money. He bad denied himself every comfort and bis heart bad been almost as bard as the gold be had Jaorded. But as bis hair grew more white and sparse, aud the years sapje more lieariW .upon bim be thought and reflec ted more. The sweet smile of bis dead wife was doing its mUtioo now;, and the pure love of hi gentle child was a con tinual remembrance to him that there Were better hearts than bis own. At length the miser arose, and passed out from the room. He would have left the hut, but as be reached the nttle entry way be beard a voice from the garret.--It was his child' He crept up the rick ctty stairs, and looked thro' a crack in tie door. He saw Agnes upon her knees. Tears were rolling down her cheeks anjl her bauds were clasped toward Heaven. And she prayed. '0, God ! be good to my father, and make his heart warm and peaceful ! Make uic to love him with all tenderness, and enable use to do well and truly the duty I pledged to my sainted mother. . 1 promised her 1 would love and care for The old mun crept down the stairs and out of doors, aud for a whole hour bei walked auion tbe trees.

Agnes pure, good, beautiful Agnes wept long and bitterly iu her little gar- ret, and wheu she bad become calm, and her cheeks were dry she came down and got supper. But she was not the smiling, happy being that had flitted about the scanty, board heretofore. 1 A few days after this, Noah Bremen approached his cot. one morniun, he heard voices from within lie peeped through a vent iu the coarse paper curtain, and saw Walter Adams with his child. Hert'I head was upon Walter's shoulder, and bis arm was about her. Walter was an orphan, and had been Agnes school mate, and her fervent lover through all the years of opening youth. lie was an honorable, virtuous man, and loved the gentle girl because he was of all her suitors, the only one whose char acter and habits promised joy and peace for the future. 'I caunot leave my poor old father, Walter,' the old man heard his daughter. ?ay, 'I must live to love and care for him. Of all the earth I am the only one left to love him. it i hard ! my heart may break ! But tbe pledge of love I gave to my dying mother must be kept.' 'And so the great jo3'-dream of my youth must be chauged to sad reality !' exclaimed Walter, sorrow ingly.

'Ave penniless !' replied Walter, 'for then he would bo far more wealthy than he i now. appreciate Tbeu he would know how to tbe priceless blessings of his sweet Agnes s love, and then the crust might be broken, aud his heart grow hu- man again. Aud more than all, Walter coutmucd, winding his arm closely about the lair lorm oi his companion, anu epcau- ing more deeply, 'then I could prove my love to him. Then I could take you to my home aud I could take your father, to my home and we would both love bim and care for bim while we lived !' Noah Dremeu stopped to bear no more, and as he walked away, he muttored to himself. 'The rascal ! He'd do great things. Me penuiless ! and he prayed for it! Tbe youug villain !' When the old man gained his accus tomed walk among the groat sycamores, he wiped something from his eye. He acted as though a mote had been blown iu there. Two weeks passed on and Agnes grew pale and thin. She did not sing as she used to, nor could she smile as had been her wont. Still she murmured not, nor did her kindness to her father grow less. Oh, God ! help me to love my father !' i j t ..... 1. r ...r. frr.wft rti tr lllfv M One night Noah came home from the r.ir.v and in his hand be brought a small trunk He barred the door, and drew the tattered curtains close.

'Well, well take her love her be good to her make her happy, dou't nev er' When the old man saw tho joyous tears leap from his child's eyes, he turned away and walked quickly from the house but he was not so quick but that he heard tbe blessings that followed hun.

Value of land in Kansas. The Kansas correspondent of the Bos ton Journal writes: Thus far, during the present season, the dull limes have prevented people from ruhing as wildly into speculation as they did last year. A few days since a lot iu' Leavenworth, whieh was bought for 2, 000 last year, was sold at forced sale for 5 ' o 1 000. 'Ibis deterioration is unusual: but tl reat jea 0r propw,y has deprcci atcd from 23 to 50 ner cent. Thn nr an excellent time per eeut. l ne pres ent is an excellent time to iuvest monev iu Kunsas a much better time for buy ing than selling. It is generally believed that tho bard times will be oer before another Spriug, and that next season will be a "flush" ouc. In that case we may look for a repetition of the scenes of last year, though property is not likely to riso with such an unhealthy rapidity as it did then. In many of the towns, during fn'o" Spring of last year, lotJ went up 100 per cent, iu five or six weeks. The land ad jacent to some of them rose in five months" from 815 to SI 00 and S150 per acre!

Headley is publishing in a New York weekly religious paper, "The Diary of a Chaplain in the army of tho llcvolution." From the last chapter we extract the following: "Sept. 18( 1770. I was told an inci dent to day, that illustrates more painful ly tbe unuatural war now raging between the Colonics and mother country, than a nything I have before heard. At the battle of Bunker Hill, as the British were advaucing through Charlestown, to tho attack, a soildier entered a house where the husband lay eick. His wife was young and beautiful, aud hearing the soldier in the next room went out to meefc him. He immediately addressed insult ing proposals to her. Being angrily re pulsed, he attempted violence, when her screams aroused her tick husband from his bed. , Nerved with the sudden ex citement he leaned up, and seeing his . wife struggling in the arms of a British ( soldier, rati him through the body. Tho , man fell back on the floor, and as his eye met that of his destroyer, he shrieked out j "my brother!" The recognition was mu ' tual and, with the exclamation, "I have killed my brother," the over excited in I valid husband fell dead on the corpse.
