THE PLEASANT RESULT.
BV LIZZIR LINWOOD.
Years ago I bad a hitler Eliza a tall,
gnu-etui girl, whom death has siuce claimed ;
To my girlish fancy she was a fit object for
adoration, and deuily did I love to sit. und
study tho languages of her pale face, though
cohld never tell which was the most beau
tiful the pleasant smile upon her lips or
the vuriud expression of her dark blue eye.
I f on ly know 1 loved her; and felt she was
something move than human. But with all
her stuteliness there v. us, at times, a quiet
drollery dbuut her which provoked mirth iu
spite of sad thoughts and sickening fours.
We hud another sister Mary a prudish
little thing between uaiuoge; whose differ
ence from cither harmonized well iu the
lr'0.
It was a boliday for lis when wo could get
a nice joke upon our sober sister, and witnees
her consternation, and helplessness to retort.
We bad been looking for some time for a
visit from our brother, who was doing busi
ness in a distant city, but were suddenly
surprised one ul'ternoon by the arrival of h is
most intimate friend Frank Harlow, whom
we bad never seen, but of whom we bud
beard much. He bud been west on business,
and knowing our placu of residence; auU
having been assured by my brother of a
wurm welcome, be bud determined to stiip
and rest a lew days from the fatigue of his
journey, nnd form the acquaintance of tliu
sisters, of whom he hud such descriptions.
We only needed to bear his mime before
we were ready to bid him welcome, and to
extend to him the cordialities of the house,
lor was he not our brother's friend? Jle
looked weary and travel-worn, und sister
Eliza, whose sympathies were ever warm for
the physically weak, begged of him after
pai taking of some refreshments, to rest fur
un hour, uud herself conducted him tu the
old purlor chamber, wtieru many a traveller
aud honored guest had rested their wearied
bodies and their aching eyes soothed by the
pleasant shade of gieeu the well-trained
vines cast in at the windows, and tliruv
around the homely though comfortable room.
bister Mary bud gone to visit a sick
friend, and it was dark before we saw ber
coming up the lune thut led to the house.
Mr. Harlow hud not come down yet, uud 1
eluiieed at sister Elizu I saw plaiuly that
some sport was to be bud if possible, without
sacrificing truth.
We beard the front door open, two or three
measured steps und then, witb one wild
cry of delight, our usually sedate sister rushed
iuto the parlor, exclaiming :
" Where is be? Where is bet Has Warren
come?"
" Warren ! What should make you think
be had com V replied Eliza, with the most
vexing indifference.
" Why, whose traveling trunk is this out
here in the bull and who does this cloak
belong to?"
" Oli , they belong to a young man who is
going to sjpeml a few days witb us," answered
Eliza aguin, witb tho most provoking -calmness,
lid ' is resting a little while iu the
parlor chamber be will be "
Sister Mary did not wait to bear ibe
sentence finished, but hastily throwing ofl'her
bonuet and shawl, was in the bull und bud
ascended the stuirs before we bad time to
think whether it was best to cull ber back or
uot.
It was warm weather, and our guest bud
left bis door partly open, and with a luigo
palm leaf fan in bis baud, bad thrown himself
upon a lounge, and was indulging iu a most
refreshing nap, The fun bud fallen, so that
il covered the greater part of bis face, leaving
only bis forehead aud hair, which closely
resembled my brother's, exposed.
eiiater Mary carefully approached and
looked in, but getting a glimpse of the short,
browu curls, she waived all hesitation, and
witb out-strelcbed arms rushed across the
room, and bending over the sleepei, and
pushing aside tho fan gave him a niest hearty
and sisterly kiss 1
The young man waked suddenly, and was
greatly amazod at finding himself iu the warm
embract of a yonng girl. But-our siter !

SUNBUKY, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY,
comprehended lier situation, ohd rooi.'fced that
tho person before hor was an entire sttai-'Per.
Elizu nnd my sell bad followed her, a)''
were standing o little without the doo
enjoying, to the superlative degree, tho litlli'
scene being enarted within. Recovering her
sell-po6session at lust, our poor victim turned
to escunu, but stopped ihnrt nciiin at slirlit
of ber tormentors ; nnd sinking into a chair,
covered ner contused lace with uer hands and
burnt into teurs. .
Jhls was too much for Eliza's kiud heart.
nnd she hastily stepped forward, begging
pardon, und gravely explainining matters to
our astonished guest, while Mary, seeing the
passage cleari made good her retreat.
We followed t but no coaxing or persuasion
could induce our sedate nnd victimized sifter
to be seen in the parlor thut evening : as for
the two days ihut followed, (die kept her
room closely ; only venturing out when she
knew Harlow was not in his room. We
begged ber pardon ngain and again, nnd
although she cherished nn hnrdiifess itgainst
us, we couIJ not prevail upon her to allow
us to give her a formul Introduction to the
young man.
ouch extreme delicacy at last created a
most ardent desire in our guest to see tho
possessor: and laughingly declared that he
would tire her out, until she was forced ti
seek air and exercise.
She, wenried at lust of such elope confine
men i, und taking a book one morninir when
she thought we were all engaged, she strolled
into the orchard. We bad a nice seat tinder
a large apple tree ; and throwing berselfopon
it, aud forgetting fur a while her mortification,
she gave herself up to pleasant thoughts and
me perusal ol tier book.
Him must have remained there lnnrer than
she. had designed, for it was not until sister
iwizu Had gone into the kitchen to get din
ner, that Mr. Harlow yuwniiigly declared
that he must walk around n little, to see if
he could not pick np a relish for the good
things we heaped upon him at our noontide
meal.
1 was no sooner alono than I hastened to
my sister's room to try for tho fortieth timu
Iu dissuade bj-r from ber foolish course. I
found her door open und the room vacated.
and with merry hopes I hurried to the kitchen
Sith the news, and to discuss with sister
Eliza tho probabilities of un unexpected
meeting somewhere upou tbe premises.
"You go, Harriet," said Eliza, with a
meaning s idle, and see tlmt she does herself
no barm, while 1 stav and helo Susan to net
the dinner upon the table."
1 Old not nevd not to be told tho second
timu. I threw oil my sun bonnet. 1 directed
my steps toward the garden, but a feeliusr
of guilt intruded itself, and 1 instinctively
looked buck for elicouragement. '
A sympathetic feeling must, at the same
moment, liavo taken possession of Bister
Eliza, lor she had come to the door at the
Same moment to look alter mo, and rceing
my hesitation, reached out a plate she bad in
ler iiund, saying, witu auutber droll expres
sion of countenance :
"Get a little lettuce, wont yon?"
I went buck and took the plutu. and thus
foi tilled against appearance of unwarrantable
curiosity, l niude my way into the garden.
I he orchard was lust bevond. with no fence
between, and the bed uf lettuce was at the
urlhcr end ol the garden.
1 walked briskly along, intent nnon mv
busiuess, but took the liberty before 1 stopped
among the green leaves to take a careful
survey beyond, and was rewarded by a fair
view ol sister Mary seated under the apple
tree, reading apparently, with utter helpless
ne6S as to whether anybody was near, while
Mr. Harlow hat in baud stood at a little
distance regarding her attentively, seemingly
uuueieruiiiieii n ueiuer lo proceed or retreat.
1 sul down to pick my lettuce, keeping
utch of tbe two, but before 1 bad half
finished, the yonng man began to move cau
tiously along towards my sister, and up
prouchud su closely before she looked up
that I was half inclined to believe that she
knew more of who was near her tbau she
cured to have any one think.
Child that 1 was. my face burned, and I
trembled so that I was scarcely able to rise

1 hurried buck to the house and made my
report, much to the amusement of those who
listened, while sister Eliza added, with a
comical effort to look distressed :
" And now und now. Harriet, we may as
well give him up. Oh! what if we should be
old muids 1 Ob! ob ! Hut Mary went.
It was not until we bud rang our little
dinner bell the second time that our guest
made bis appearance, leuding tbe conquered
girl, und looking us well sutistied as though
he bad gained a kingdom.
We were already seated at the table, for
our scrupulously punctual father would never
allow us to keep dinner wuiting for any one ;
but with his usuul urbanity and kind desire
to make a stranger feel at home, ho begged
of Mr. Harlow to be seated, assuring him
that the girls bad prepared a most excellent
dinner, and it would not do to let the dishes
spoil by standing. He inquired particularly
after Sister Mary's health much to ber
embarrassment and amusement for be did
not understand bow matters stood ; inno
cently supposing, as wo had equivocally
intunuted, that It was a slight indisposition
thut had caused her absence from the table
for the two days previous.
Our staid mother, who wasbettr Informed
about the matter, but who did cot allow her
self to stoop from ber dignity to interest her
self in our loolishuess, cast a sly glance over
her glasses, and let ber lips work into a
smile, sufliuieni to betray ber relationship to
the droll creature who had been tbe moving
euuse of our merriment while the viuudu at
length claimed the attentiou of all, aud a
general sociability followed.
Thut afternoon und evening, as may be
supposed, my elder sister and me bud to
entertain ourselves us best we could, for Mr.
Harlow was all intent upon continuing tbe
acquaintance ba bad commenced iu tbe
morning, aud in drawing from beneath their
prudish covering my sister Mary's excellent
and interesting traits of character.
Matters progressed rapidly, aud when, after
a few days more, our guest iu formed us that
bis visit must close, we were neither surprised
or iuclined to turn iuto ridicule bis serious
proposul to visit us again.
He bud taken leave of our parents, and
bad come into tbe parlor to bid tie "young
ladies" adieu again.
Sister Mary was sitting by the table
turning ovr lb leaves of au album, but we
saw by tbe moisture of ber eye and the
slight quiveriug of her lip, thut she was
indulging in thought quite too uncommon to
ber, and witb sobered face and serious
thongbu, w gave tbe parting band to ear
brother's friend and withdrew, leaving the
ore nione, . .

OoMPi.tMa.NT to Printkb8. John G. Rives,
of Virginia, in a recent published letter on
the subject of public printing, baa a word of I
suggestion to writers lor the press, and a I
compliment to tbe compositor, whoso duty is
not utifrequently is to muke sense out of
very senseless chirography. None but a
writer for the press can comprehend how
much truth there is in the veteran printer's
remarks. Many members ot Congress and
even not a few greater men must have been
surprised at the respectable figure they cut
in print, without thinking of the toilsome
labor und tbe exercise of ibo better talent
than their own which had been expended by
the journeyman printer iu putting into good
shape thu message or report of a speech
furnished them. Mr. Rives says: "I have
seen the manuscript writing of most of the
country during the past twenty years, and 1
think I may say that not twenty of them
could stand the test of tbe scrutiny of one
half the ionrneyinen printers employed in my
oltice. 1 lie luct will he vouched by every
editor in the Union. To a poor 'journeyman'
printer many a 'great man' owes his reputa
tion for scholarship j nnd were the bumble
compositors to resolve, by concert, to set up
manuscripts in their bands even fur one
little week precisely as it is Written by the
uuthors, there would bo more reputations
slaughtered than their 'devils could shake a
stick nt' iu twenty-four hours. Statesmen
would become small by degrees, and beauti
fully less.' Many nn uss would have tbe
lion's hide tore from his limbs. Men, whom
the world cull writers, would wake up morn
ings und find themselves famous as mere
pretenders humbugs aud cheats !"
Full Particulars A good storv is told of
an old lady who bad received a letter from
her son, a sailor ou a merchantman, which ran
thus :
"Have been driven into the Day of Fnndy
by a pa m posse right in the teeth. It blow
ed guns, and carried away the bowsprit ; a
heavy sea washed overboard tbe binniule and
companion; tho captain lost bis quud'unt. and
couldn't take observation for lifleeu days ; at
last wo arrived at Halifax
Tbe old women who could not read herself,
got a neighbor to repeat it to ber three or
lour times, until she thought she had it by
heart, tihe then sallied out to toll the story :
Oh, my poor son 1"
"Why. what's tho matter, mother T I Lope
no mischief."
"O, thank God, he's safe 1 But be ha been
driven into the Buy of Firmament by a bam.

guns, and tkey carried away tbe pulpit a
heavy sea washed overboard the pinnicle of
tho tabernacle the captain lost bis conjura
tion, aud couldn't get any salvation for tifteeu
days at last they arrived at lluUilujah."
"La, bless us 1 what a wouder they wasn't
beat to atoms. Well, I wouldn't be a sailor."
A countryman at Buridey, being asked bow
be knew a man, of whom be bad been com
plaining, was drunk, indignantly replied t
"What could be be else wbea be asked for a
hoe-bora to put bis but on witb."

Tub Emperor Nicholas' Hxdciiambkb.
The N'ord bas published tbe fullowing details
or a visit made oy its correspondent to the
bed. room of tbe Emperot Nicholas, at the
St. Petersburg!! ; "Tbe persun wbo acted as
my guide did nut say whither ho was toking
me. llo conducted me into an arched room,
of very moderate dimensions, aud lighted by
a single window, looking into a court. This
room was both a study und a bed-room, lie
fore the window was placed u desk, on which
was a pocket book hail open, a tew sheets ot
paper und some pens, a crumpled up hund-
kercluel, a small statuette ol the Prince of
ulesiu Ibe dress of a sailor, a water-color
drawing, representing -children. A straw
bottomed chair was placed nt the desk which
was much worse for wear, and bore many
murks uf being cut with a peii-knil'e. Neur
this desk wus an old sofa, covered with green
leather, with well worn cushions. Opposite
ou a console ornamented with a mirror, was
a dressing case, in leather, tho simpliciiy of
wuicli snowed thut its owner did not indulge
in ar.y.reliiiement of the toilet. On the chimney-piece
wii3 a small time-piece in black
marble, on which stood a bust ul the Gount
da liunckeiidorfT. There was no looking
glass on the chimney. Half concealed by the
lime-piece wus sUtuelto in bronze of Napo
leon 1., similar to tbat in tbe Place Vendouie
Some pictures ornamented the walls repre
senting military scenes, painted by Horace
Vernet, or German artists. A bust of Mar
shall Radetzky stood on the console ; a por
trait of tbe Grand Duke Micbuel, brother of
Paul, wus bung hulf concealed in the corner
of the wall ; iu one corner of the room stood
a common soldier's aoinskct, aud on a Binull
table wus the helmet of a general without a
plume, und bearing marks of long service.
Near the sofa, and parallel with the desk
was an iron cuuip bed. On this bed, which
my guide told me to press with my hand to
see bow linrd it felt, wus a muttress covered
with leather, und a pillow stuK'ed with hay.
There was folded upon tbe bed an old grey
uniform cloak ; and ut the foot of it, on a well
worn carpet, was a pair of morocco leather
slippers. 1 contemplated with surprise this
uuslere retreat, in a remote corner of one of
tbe most magnificent palaces of Europe.
When I bad seen ull my guide said : "This
is the study and bed-room of tho Emperor
Nicholas. At tbat dusk be sat for nearly 3d
years, and mi thut bed be drew bis last breath
That old cloak, which he always wore, when
in this room, belonged to bis brother Alexan

ed moruing and night, every day of his reign.
These slippers, which be wore to the last day
of his life, were given bim by tbe Empress on
the day of bis marriage. With that musket

"WOMAN. '
Proud man may climb ambition's height,
And seek to win the meed of fame ;
Yes, he may feel bis heart, bent light
When glory beums nrouiid his name ;
But not for those does woman seek,
Far humbler ber ambition's shown j
At home she reigns a sovereign meek
A woman lives for love alone.
Still in her dailv dutv moves.
With thoughtful brow and steadfast blind j
She proves ber faith in him alio loves,
, Hy gentle smiles and accents kiud ;
The praise of dear voice nlone
Is ull she claims withhold it not,
Oh. ye to whom her heart hatb flown,
For 'tis tbe sun tbat lights ber lot.
If cold neglect or anger strange
Should prove ber portion, yet tbe ray
Of her pure love will never change,
mo- hope, and health, and bliss decay j
By patient smiles nnd kinder tone
The truant gently she recalls,
Or if perchance reproach Is shown
'Ti iu the tear that silent falls.
Woman hath faults and weakness too,
Hut stroucor man. oh ! blame them not :
Believe me, her affection true
1 liro' changeful lile shull cheer thy lot.
Home-ties home love, let none disdain :
More dear than wealth or fame could prove,
They o'er the heart triumphant reign,
Ana all are blest in woman s love.

SHEEP.
For the protection of our sheep in winter
as well as fur their health, they should be
provided with a shed lacing the south, with
un enclosed yard attached to it. The floor
of the shed should be covered a few inches iu
depth with mould and leiiveS from the woods,
covered with straw, the straw should be re
moved every two weeks, in order that the
sheep may be kept dry. clean nnd comforta
ble. Tbe yard should be covered with mould
und leaves from the woods, which, should bo
accusioually added to, iu order thut your stock
of manure may be thereby increased Under
the shed there should bo at all times kept a
trough supplied with salt ; they should re
ceive water three times a duy. and have piui
boughs supplied them every, lew days to
browse upon. If suuie pulverised chuicoul,
as well as the suit, were kept in the trough,
it would prove conducive to their health, by
correcting any acidity of tbe stomachs of tbe
sheep. According to tbe size of tbe sheep
they should receive trotn a to ii lbs. ot nay,
or its equivolent, per day. Occasionally they
should receive grain or root feeds, as alterna
tion of food is promotive ol health. Am.

Tea for Sick Horsefl.
Linseed tea it not only a valuable medicine
for sick horses, but it is exceedingly uselul in
cases or inflammation or the membranes pe
culiar to the organs or respirutiou and diges
tion ; it sbilds and lubricates the same, trun
auilises the irritable stute of the parts, and
? - ir .. 1 : i
lavors neaiiuy action. iiuvu presenoeu
linseed tea in large quantities, during the post
month, for horses laboring under the prevail
ing influenza they seemed to derive much
benefit from it, aud generally drank it with
avidity. Aside from the benefit derived from
the action of mucilage nnd oil; which the aeed
contains, its nutritive elements are of some
account, especially when given to unimuU la
boring under soreness in tlie organs oi uegiu
titiou, which incapacitates them from swul
luwimr more solid food. In tbo event of an
animal becoming postrated by inability to
masticate or swollow more loud, nasoeu tea
mav be resorted to, and iu cases of irritable
cough, the addition of a little boney niukes it
still more uselul. Iu the latter luim. ll muy
be given to animals laboring under acute .or.
chronic diseases of the urinary apparatus,
more especially of tbe kidneys.
To prepare liuseed tea ; put a coup!e -or
handbills or the seed iuto a bucket, and pour
a gallon and a bull' of boiling but water upon
it. Cover it up a short time ; add a couple
or quarts of aold waterMwbeu it will be fit for
Use. '.
, Fall Plowiko. When the object aimed
at iu autumn plowing, is to render clay soil
more friable, und when there is no sod or
sward to be rotted, it muy be carried on as
long as the grouud is free from frost. Tbe
less the land is exposed to drying winds,
rains c, after plowing, the greater will be
the ef'ect or the winter's frosts in making It
mellow, 'i'j obtaiu tbe utmost benefit, tbe
land should be thrown up iu narrow ridges,
or in such si way as to allow of its greatest
exposure to tbe air, aud its ready crumbling.

Western Annoyanies.'
Judge J., wbo bas receutlv returned from
a tour iu tho west, relates an anecdote illns.
truting the horrors to which travelers in tbat
region ore exposed. In his nassno-n to nn.
was relating soma of bis sufferings from
mosquitoes.
" Husband," said the "adv. to tbo gentle
man owning that title, " you bad better tell
the gentleman about tbo man we met 'in
owa,' "
The hint was sufficient, nnd tho " husband"
proceeded to any tbat, in their travels farther
west, they made an acquaintance of a stal
wart rollicking,' western hoosier, one of the
genius who could " whip his weight in wild
cats ;" but who possessed a fund of
quiet humor. On one occu3ion, they had
stopped at a hotel iu tbe interior, not of the
most inviting appearance. They were shown
to their rooms, the hoosier at one end, and
the lady and gentleman at the other, of a
long hull. About midnight tbe drowsy
couple were startled by a report of firearms,
proceeding irom me end oi tue nan occupied
by their traveling companion. Both started
up in tbe bed ond began to spee.ulute upon
tbo probable cause of this untimely alarm,
when they beard a rushing ot feet, aud a
confusion or voices in the hull. On going to
the door, the gentleman found the whole
liouschould, headed by the lanulord, rushing
in tho direction or tbe report. His curiosity
led him to join this midnight procession, and
he arrired.with thu rest, id front of the
hoosier's door. The landlord tried tbe latch,
but found it fast, whereupon, iu a loud voice;
be demanded iustant admisuion.
" What do you want ?" roared a voice
within.
" Want to come in !" replied the landlord.
" Cuu't do it," was the tesponse from
within. " It's my room, aud I'm in bed
can't come in."
" Let me in 1" shouted' the landlord, in a
louder tone, at tbe sumo time shaking the
door violently, " or I'll break tbe door down 1"
' Hold on r rejoiced the voice within, "1 11
open th door."
Tbo door was soon open, whsn, in rushed
the whole party, expecting to see the floor
covered with blood. What was their sur
prise to find everything in its proper place
and the hoosier calm and unconcerned. A
revolver wns carelessly lying upon the bed;
"Who tired tbat pistol!" demanded tbe
landlord.
' I did !" was the reply.
" Why ?" asked the landlord.
The iioosier stepped to tbo bed, ond
throwing open the covering, said, "Look
here. Do yon see that?"
'l'he ut tent iou of the party was at once
directed to tbe point indicated, and there
over the whole surface of tbe sheet, bedbugs
were scampering in every direction, like a
fluck of sheep frightened by a dog. The
landlord wus chargrilled aud puzzled, and
looked to his lodger for explanation.
" These," beg&u tho lousier straightening
himself up to his full height and gesticulating
witb bis right lnind in grandiloquent style,
"These are my frieuds ! I have settled .an
oj mist ice with ihehi, uud we ure pu friendly
teiuis. but on the window sill there, just
outside, you will find two infernal big fellers
that 1 couldn't do anything with, und so I
just pnt a bullet thrcujih 'em. But it's all.
right now, it's all understood between me
and my friends here, and we shall get along
well enough now." .
It is needless to add. that the landlord re
tired to his own bed visibly crest fallen,
while tbe spectators enjoyed a beurty laugb.
