THE CHERRY TREE.
To Spring the good God spake, and said
"Wo, for the worm a table spread ;"
And sonn the cherry tree Is seen,
Covered with leaflets fresh and green.
Within his shell the worm awakes,
And quick his winter house forsakes,
Stretches himself, and yawns and tries,
To open wide his sleepy eyes.
And thereupon, without a pause,
Upon the Dearest leaf he gnaws,
And says, ' 'Tis hnrd to 't away,
So tender are the leaves to-day."
And yet ngain the good God said,
"Now for the bees a table spread."
At once the cherry tree is light
With myriad blossoms pure and white.
A little bee the banquet spies
At early morn, and thither flies,
Thinking "I now my thirst can slake,
And here my fragraot coffee take."
Out of these enns so clean and nice :
Then puts bis tongue in, in a trice,
And sips and says, "II ow very sweet I
Plenty of sugar here I weet."
To Summer next, the good God said,
"Go, for the birds table spread,"
And now the cherry tree doth glow
With ruddy fruit u tempting show.
A sparrow lights upon the bough
And says, "11 eat my fill here now ;
'Twill make me vigorous of wing
And give rue strength uf voice to sing."
Then to the Autumn, God did say,
1 hey ve had enough : clear all away.
And chillii.tr winds the branches tost,
And full the sharp and bitter frost.
The leaves were changed to cold and red.
Then fluttered downward, withered, dead,
Till spoilt of nil its folinge fair.
The cherry tree stood lone and bare.
To Winter then, the good God said,
"O'er what is left a covering spread."
Softly and fust the snow flakes full,
And quietly settles over all.

"Adhesive plaster, Miss- Wilson 1 Were
you asking me for adhesive plaster?" asked
Clara stanhope, glancing carelessly at a
young girl who was making loud lamentations
over an almost imperceptible cut in one of
bcr pretty white fingers.
"Yes; hiive you any in your work-box,
Miss Stanhope?"
'No, my work-box is not a medicine chest;
but here is I.ieuteouut Grey ; he would do
very well, lie possesses ull the qualities of
the best adhesive plaster; it is almost im
possible to get rid of him." A nd the spoiled
beauty eodud her rude speech with a clear
and ringing luugh.
Miss Wilson looked amazed, and the poor
lieutenant of marines, after trying in vain to
join in Miss Stunhope'g merriment, walked
away.
"That is the seventh gentleman yoa have
offended mortally within the lust four weeks"
said Mrs Lee.
"Hut Mr. Urey is so dreadfully tiresome,
Mrs. Lee, he wore out my patience long ago.
Since I came, be hits done nothing but keep
up a perpetuul smiling and bowing at every
thing I said. Wherever I turned, I saw him,
aud ua nutter whom I spoke to, he answered.
I could not endure it a moment longer; and
besides, I confess, it is a great pleasure to mo
to say a cutting thing to conceited people."
"You should remember, though, what
Sheridan says, somewhere : "Let your wit be
as keeu as your sword, but as polished too."
"That latter epithet would hardly apply to
all your severe remarks."
"Ah, Mrs. Lee! who expects polish in a
Western girl? That would be "gilding
reliuud gold." Aud Clara Sluuhope laughed
proudly.
"People of a family like ours," said Mrs.
Stanhope, coming to her daughter's assist
ance, "are above the conventionalities that
ordinary persous hedge themselves about
with. We are related to many of the noble
families of England ; among others, to the
Duke of Ilutlund; my mother was a Manners;
aud od my husbaud's side, the Duke of Nor
thumberland is a relative of ours ; and 1 have
lately discovered that llobert ltruce was au
ancestor of mine in a direct liue. Our pro
genitors were people of consequence when
they first came to this country ; and there
never has been a time wheo tbey do not ruuk
amoug the first families."
"Then I sunnose we must rmv vnn infinitn
respect," said Mrs. Lee, "as being among
those persons, rare m America, who have not
only oue, but two grandfathers. "Honor to
whom honor is due." isut still, 1 think if
Miss btuuhnpe would only cousider the feel
ings of these Kentlemeu "
"Gentlemen !" interrupted Mrs. Stanhope
with ber usuul impetuosity. "Do you cull
these persons about bere gentlemen j Accor
dinir to my utiderstaodiug of that much per
verted word, there is but one geutlemau in
the bouse.
"And who may he be?" asked Mrs. Lee,
who, being a widow, did not feel herself
culled upon to resent this sweeping denun
ciation.
"1 do not know bis name, but he is that
tall, elegant-looking man who sits just oppo
site me at the table "
"What, the one that comes in and goes out
without addressing a word to any oue who
is so exquisileiy particular in bis dress and in
whatever be deigns to eat or drink makeg
a great parade about his wine and all the lit
tie etceteras, and gives the waiters more
trouble than any other ten persons r
"1 bave not observed all that," said Clara ;
"but I must say be is my ceau-ilea of a
high-bred gentleman."
"And 1 must say, my dear, that I think
you will find out before long, that yoa have
made a great mistake."
"Do you know anything about him ?"
"Only that he gave bis name as Manners,
when be tooK a room cere."
"Munneis?" exclaimed Mrs. Stanhope.
Perhaps be is a relation of the Duke of
Kullaud. 1 win as a Dim to-oay.
' Hut, mamma, you do not know him," said
Clara.
"I will introduce myself to him," said Mrs.
Stniibope. "People of a family like ours cao

pieted."
This conversation took nlace in the draw
Select Cnlc.
tog room of o of the largest and most
fashionable boarding bouses of New York,
where people prided themselves on their ex
clasiveness, and fancied that they added
greatly to their own importance by refusing
to recognize those who sat eacn day Deside
them, if the; did not chance to be members
of their own circle. Mrs. Stanhope was a
lady or some wealth, frotn one of the western
cities, who had come wilh ber daughter to
New York, that she might see a little more
of the world than she could at home.
Clara Stanhope was a remarkably Cue
looking girl, with a spirited, dRshing, and
even daring look and manner, always cool
and unembarrassed even when she was saving
the most astonishing things ; and with a
laugh whose clear and silvery melody, some
what loud though it was, often beguiled those
who were suffering from her merciless sarcasm
into joining her merriment.
Mrs. Stanhope, panoplied by her reliance
on ber "family," graciously condescended to
take llie Initiative in making me acquaintance
of her l it-d-vw at table.
"Might she ask," she said, wilh a bow as
stately as that of any Castilian dame, "if he
were of the Bame lumily as the Duke of Rut
land." With an equally stately bow, and a calm
indifference of nuint r, that showed him to
be a true-born aristocrat, Mr. Manners re
plied in the affirmative.
"Then I must claim yon as a relative,"
Mrs. Stanhope continued, with an air as
though she were conferring an immense
favor; 'for we are also members of that
illustrious house."
Mr. Manners merely bowed ; the fuvor was
received, as uurequested gifts often are, as
though the acceptance was somewhat of an
infliction. Hut this indifference only height
ened the admiration of Mrs. Stanhope and
her daughter. If he had courted them,
they might have treated him with their usnal
haughtiness ; but keeping them as he did in
the position they first assumed, as applicants
for his notice, they showed him, underneath
tbeir customary arrogance, a constant def
erence and attention.
"I am happy to have found relatives in
this part of the world, where I thought I hud
none," said the gentleman, as he arose from
the table, wilh a languid air, as though he
felt it incumbent on him to Bay something,
but thought it quite a bore.
" bat a coxcomb ! ' said one gentleman to
another.
'This port of the world he mustbe an Eng
lishman an English gentleman, of course,
perhaps a nobleman, who has dropped bis
title while travelling in tins couutry, said
Mrs. Stanhope to her daughter.
As days passed by, Mr. Manners relaxed
somewhat from his cold abstraction ofmanner,
and condescended to converse. It was evi
dent that Clara S'anhope felt more pleased
by his attentions, few aiA slight as they were,
than she cured to confess. The casual re
marks be dropped influenced ber strangely.
Her lough, that bad once been the music of
the house, ringing through the drawing-room,
the halls, and dining-room with its outburst
of exuberant pride and joyousness, grew still
and hushed, and replaced by a tranquil smile.
The change began on the very day that Mr.
Manners had made the re-mark, thai "no
woman with a loud laugh could ever claim to
be considered a lady."
The gentleman evidently was not aware
that his words contained any person allusion.
Several other snyings of his had great effect
on the unrestrained manners of Clara Stan
hope. She was fast becoming subdued a'nd
quiet, and even gentle. Hut this transforma
tion could not take place witnoul being com
mented on, and the cause of it closely scru
tinized. Thanks to her severe speeches, she
had not a friend in the house, but many
watchful and criticising observers.
"I believe (hat Miss Stanhope is in love
with that Mr. Manners," said Mr. Grey.
"Do you know who be is I ' asked one gen
tle in an.
All answered in the negative, and then
commenced a general discussion and conjec
turing. It was lale in the evening; the
ludies had all retired ; the gentlemen still
lingered, wasting more than an hour in Iruit
less sunnisincs. The only fact that was
clearly established was that there was some
mystery connected witn Mr. 31 aimers.
When ladies gossip, there is a vague un
certainty in their utterances. There are
inuendoes, hints, wise looks, compressing of
the lips, and shakings or the bead; but all
these amount to but little ; the world needs
something definite to rest on, and so it shut
its eyes resolutely agiinst toe cloud ol smoke,
aud if the fire is well bidden takes no heed or
it.
But when the sterner portion of the race
put their wise heuds together, and they are
not so slow to do it as tney would like us to
believe, something comes of it. From that
eveuing's discussion there syrung up in the
minds of two or tbree or the geoliemeo, all
of them the victims of Miss Stauhope's
beauty and her raillery, a determination to
penetrate the veil with which Mr. Manners
bad enveloped himself.
An old lady from the country, who lived in
the bouse, had expressed a wish to know
"what that gentleman did for a living ; for
her part she never felt easy about folks till
she knew what their busiuess was." The
lofty scorn with which Mrs. Stanhope repell
ed the idea of its being necessary fur a gen
tleman to do anything Tor a living, quite
subdued the old lady.
"I only meant," suid she "that I have al
ways noticed that those who did not follow
any business, but lived, nobody knows bow,
were disrespeclable, generally speaking."
"Mr. Manner J is an English gentleman,"
said Mrs. Stanhope.
"Oh I" said the old lady ; and Mrs. Stan
Lope looked upon the matter as settled,
though it would have been hard for her to
tell how sho made it out
The point which the gentlemen were bent
on discovering was the same as that about
which the old lady had expressed such curi
osity. One of the investigators was a law
yer, a keeu, shrewd man, one whom nature
and practice had both combined to make a
"detective" of the first order. lo two or
three days, Mr. Ilillurd, for that was bis
name, said to Mr. Grey :
"I have discovered one thing. Mr. Man
ners hag some regular occupation. His very
air betrays that, as you meet him io the
street ; and no gentleman of leisure would
come in and go out as regular as he does "
"While 1 wag reading the paper, this
morning, I was struck by a remarkable coin
cidence," said Mr. Ilillurd. about a week
afterwards, to the same gentleman.
Mr. Grey opened his eyes wide ; for, though
be bad by no means Mr. Ilillard's capability
of seeing through a millstone, even when it
had no bole in it, he appreciated all the more
highly bis friend's powers.
"1 observed," coutiuued Mr. Ilillard. "that
Mr. Manners' engagements you know ba is
engaged tbree or lour evenings in the week

Mrs. Staubope thinks j well, bis engage,

Mr. Grey wag opening his eyeg wider every
minute "and also, at the time when Mr.
Manners went on a little trip to Philadelphia
te see the city, be taidthe band must have
gone and returned in the same tram."
Hera Mr. Grey shut his eyes a reaction
consequent npon .their having been go loog
strained to Ibelr almost limits of expansion.
"Grey, suppose we go to hear the Ethiopi
an isana lo-uigntj They are aaid to be very

Hillard. -
Mr. Grey consented and they wera soon
seated in a corner of the concert room, where
they could see without being themselves seen
Whpn the troop, seven men, wilh their faces
dressed a la Afric-America, appeared, they
scrutinised them closely. Three of them
were in height and figure very much like Mr.
Manners, but so well disguised were they
that it was impossible for even Mr. Ilillard
to decide which one of the three, or whether
any one bore any resemblance to the gentle
man in whom they were bo much interested.
Mr. Grey, after having fixed npon each mem
ber of the troob in succession to the individ
ual in question, at last gave np in despair.

Amid outbursts of onnlause. the sineers turn

-L,ook, Grey, look at the man with the
tambourine. There be is the gentleman
himself!"
Few people think of disguising their backs:
perhaps it would not be so eesv to do it : and
so Mr. Manners was discovered. The secret
he bud so carefully kept was bis no longer.
No one who has not tried it can tell bow
hard it is to keep a secret in this age of the
world.
If Mr. Manners was especially satisfied
with anything that belonged to himself, it
was with his walk and bearing; erect, stiff
and somewhat pompous. That ebtrayed him.
" 1 liere goes the only gentleman Miss Stan
hope has seen in the whole city of New York
which she culls an immense city of plebeians."
faction.
"She must see him in Lis glory," said Mr.
Milliard.
But Mrs. ami Mrs. Stanhope rejected with
scorn the idea of mingling with the crowd of
undistinguished commoners, to listen to such
low and base-born melodies.
"1 would not go nor ollow my dnughter to
attend such a place. Not a fit place for la
dies, Mr. Manners says," said Mrs. Stanhope.
Fortune favored Mr. Milliard's purposes.
The very evening after making this assertion,
Mrs. .Montgomery ranshaw, the star and cy
nosure of the fashionable world, stopped iu
her carriage on her way to hear the Ethiopi
an Band. She had been persuaded, sho
said, into making up a purty for that purpose
and wished to know if Mrs. end Miss Stun
hope would join them.
It was the kind of amusement particularly
agreeaoie io tne young lady, who enjoyed a
regular frolic fur more than any staid and
proper recreation. She openly expressed a
desire to accompany Mrs. Fimshaw; her mo
ther hesitated, glanced round the room; then
remembered that Manners had left a littlo
while before, pleading au engagement for the
evening ; Mrs. ranshaw was almost a stran
ger to her; she was very anxious to turn
their slight acqnaintntiee into an intimacy
and therefore she ended by consent inr.
Ol course, Mrs. ranslmw, with her party
occupied the most conspicuous places in the
concert room. After the first half hour had
nearly passed, during a short pause in the
singing, Miss Stanhope heard herself addres
sed. 1 urniug her head, she round that Mil
liard and Mr. Grey were sitting behind her.
A few remarks passed criticism on the
singing, the audience, and the crowd ; aud
Mr. Milliard said
"I wish, Miss Stanhope, you wonld observe
the man with the tambourine. Notice him
as be goes off the stage. He reminds me ve
ry much or Mr. Manners."
"Compare M r. Manners to an Ethiopian
srrenader !" said Miss Stanhope with her
scoriiTuI smile.
However, her attention once turned in that
way, found so much interest and perplexity,
that she could notice nothing else. When he
turned from the audience, the conviction
dashed upon her that the tambourine player
was Mr. Manners, and no one else. One
glance at Mr. Milliard revealed to him that
the discovery was made. He saw a long
whispering conversation between the mother
and daughter. M rs. Stituhope evidently re
fused to believe the story.
"All your imagination, my dear," she said
at last.
But, before the evening was over, she too
was forced to perceive the truth of her daugh
ter's discovery. She could hardly command
herself sufficiently to sit through the remain
der of the concert. Her very dress seemed
to share her indignation, and shook and rus
tled iticessuntly.
It was no difficult matter for Mr. Manners
to discover when they met at breakfast the
next morning, that he had been recognized.
He was treated with cold disdain by both la
dies. Silent contempt wus M rs. Stanhope's
forte, and she impressed the propriety of the
same course of action on her daughter. Hut
Clara Stanhope belonged to the class of de
monstrative young ladies. The impulse to
speak was too strong to be resisted.
"1 was delighted with the concert last eve
ning, Mr. Manners," said she; "you acted
your part most inimitably. Yon bave not
mistaken your vocation, evidently."
"Thank you, Miss Stunhope ; your appre
ciation of my poor efforts gives me great
pleasure. But, allow me to request you, in
your approaching visit to England, to say
notbinc to our cousin." with a provoking em
phasis on the our, "the Duke of Rutland, of
my present employment. lie migui not
think it a suitable oue for a member of his
family."
A saucy reply was trembling on Miss
Stauhope's tongue, but, obedient to a glance
Irom tier mother, she closed ber rosy lips
over it. and finished her meal in silence.
"Manners, iudeed 1" said Mrs. Stanhope,
wheo they were again iu tbeir own room.
"Clara, his name is Hoggs; Mr. Milliard
found it out."

How to Manure Trees in Grass Land.
Very few persous manure trees growing i sod
or grassland, in a judicial or economical man
uer. The general practice is to dig Urn manure
io, within a diameter of six feet, having tbe
body of tbe centre. The tree takes its fcod
from the young rootlets, whose mouths ex
tend just as far on every side as the branches
of the tree; heoce this manure applied close to
the body of the treejis not where tbe roots can
take it up; and of course but little of its value
is absorbed by the tree. If yon doubt it, just
try the experment on two trees. Serve the
one above named, and the other, as follows,
viz. Mark a circle around the tree, having
for its outer line, the exact radius formed by
the overhanging branches ; dig on the ioner
side of this circle, a trench two feet wide, and
one foot deep ; mix well rotteo manure half
and half with the best tof soil, or the earth
dug out of the trench, and fill the trench with
it; then re-place the turf and wheel away the
refuse, or extra earth ; rake clean and smootk
you will have a good growth of tree ; your
fruit larger and more fair aud uo onslghly or

of the tree. Ohio Farmer,

Corn broadcast, for cutting and feeding to
cattle in August and September, when the
pastures are frequently so short from drought
as to afford scarcely a living means to tbe cat
tle, on which the farmer largely depends for
his annual profits. Two crops say half an
arsu at a time, at least should be sown, the
first not later than tbo last of this month or
tbe beginning of July ; and tho second at an
interval of two weeks. Tbe seed should be
put in thickly, and the ground should be well
prepared The Stowell or Evergreen corn ia
decidedly the best for this purpose, as produ
cing a larger amount aud a very superior
quality of fuliage, the stalks containing a large
per centage of saccharine matter. Tbe cost
of such a crop, iu the event of tbe shortness
of the regular pastures, is a mere drop io tbe
bucket to its absolute advantage iu such a
time of ueed.
