She gives no pcaco from morn 'till night,
She is to happiness a blight :
Ller tongue's the string that wounds tho
nenrt,
Its venom poins with keenest smart ;
Her cavils vilo all love congeal,
A nd sour tho sauce of ev'ry meal ;
She drives all pleasures from her hearth,
And gives no comfort on the earth.
She lives a lifo of wrath and ire,
Men flee from her as from a fire,
Or meet her but to wngo a war
Of strife and words and vexing tore.
Torments on earth her tnunts inspire,
ller hateful sphere few need desire.
She lives her lime I do allow,
But dies at last no one cares how.

RETRIBUTION.

it was a terrible misfortune. Independent
of the melancholy loss of the child, indepen
dent of ihe non recovery of his body, it was a
docp misfortune in n pecuniary point of view.
With her son's death nearly nil iho fortune
of Mrs. Yorko passed from her, and her in
come in future would be reduced to extreme
ly narrow limits, ller twn pension, as the
widow of Colonel fcherriugton, hod left her
at her second marriage ; and her daughter's
pension had ceased at tho ago of eighteen,
because she was Dot then in India. Some
thing like a hundred and fifty pouuds a year
she would have, a'l told just enough, as she
groaned, to starve upon, ller grief was in
deed pitiable. She persisted in attributing
all tho blame of the child's death to the
dnughter, she treated her with tiukitidness,
could not endure the sight of her, and when
she did sec her it was to burst into sobs uud
reproaches.
"I should not bear it," observed Mr. Yorko
one day, to Elizabeth.
"Js it just?'' returned Klizubcth, in a pas
sionate tone to appeal. "When 1 saw him
to the door of the college, how could I itnn.
pine that it was only to blind me that he
would disobediently run to the canal the mo
ment I was out of sight ? Is it just of mum
ma?'' "Xo very unjust. I say I 6h3uld emanci
pate myself."
"I cannot live this life. It makes mo so
wretched that I sometimes begin to doubt
whether I am not really guilty. 1 will go out
as governess, rather than bear it."
"Why not say as housemaid ?" sarcastical
ly returned Mr. Y'orke : "as fit as tho other
for Colonel Sherrington's daughter. Let mo
emancipate you, Elizabeth."
Sho cast at him a rapid glance. Tho hour
was coma that she expected sometimes
doubted if she had not dreaded.
! "You cannot be ignorant of my feelings,"
ho resumed, "or why have stayed here in
1 this pluce, which 1 hato. Yon must know
that I love you passionately far more pas
sionately than ho did. Elizabeth."
"Who?" she exclaimed, with a rush con
scious color.
"Janson. As if you did not know."
" Why do you bring up danson !" she said
"What is Janson to tue t"
"Elizabeth, you will be my wife ? Do not
refuse," ho impetuously otided. "I have
sworn that if you are uot mine you shall nev
er be another's.
"Mr. Yorko 1"
"I cannot live without you. I love you too
passionately for my own peace. Elizabeth
jo i must ba mine."
What was she to answer? She did not
know. A conflict was at work within her.
She likpd Mr. Yorke, what she knew of him,
which was but little ; but she lored Edward
Janson. 13ut ho was poor nnd Mr. Yorke
was rich.
"Give mo till to-morrow, and yon shall
have an answer," sho said to him. This has
come upon me suddenly."
"Very well. Iteincmber, Elizabeth, that
during the suspense I shall neither eat nor
sleep ; shall huve ueither peace nor rest, llo
my wife, and your duys bhull be u dream of
love."
"A dream of love 1" she bitterly repeated
as be left her. "i'or him, perhaps ; uot for
me."
She remained in her room till eveuing,
communing with herself, and then sho sought
M rs. Yorke, saying she wished to consult her.
"I am uot worth consulting now," was the
querulous auswer. "My spirits are gone, my
heart is broken."
"Mr. Yorke wants nfe to marry him."
"Mr. Y'orke 1" returned her mother, some
what aroused. "Has ho asked you ?''
"Yes to-day."
"Then you are more lucky than you de
serve." "I do not know whether to accept or reject
hi oi."
"Reject him!" fiercely interposed Mrs.
Yorke; 'you are out or your souses. With
his liue fortune, his position, his amiability "
"Is he amiable?" asked Elizabeth. "Jle
puzzles me at times."
"What puzzles you ?"
"His words. 1 don't understand them.
And the expression of his countenance."
"JIad you not better set up for a phrenolo
gistor whatever they call the charlatans
who prettud to read faces ?" sarcastically re
torted Mrs. Yorke.
"Mamma, listen. If I do accept him it will
be because I am unhappy here."
"Tray, why should there ba on 'if io the
matter at all? Why should you hesitate, or
thiuk of rejecting him ?"
"Because I do not lore bim," answered
Elizabeth, in a low tone. "I like Mr. Yorke,
but it requires more than liking to marry a
man or ought to."
"Oh, if you are going to run on about ro
mance aud sentimeut, do not understand it,"
returned Mrs. Yorke. "I never did mora
than 'liks' my two husbands, yet I was happy
with them. My love was wasted on somebo
dy else when I wag almost a child."
"Was it ?" cried Elizabeth, eagerly.
"It was i aud was over and Uoua with be
fore I married, and I did not make the less
good wife. It is so with ninety-nioe women
out or every hundred, and their wedded lives
are all the happier for their early romance be
ing over. Romance and reality do not work
well' together, Elizabeth. You ar inexperi
enced, child."
She was beginning to thiak io.
' I give yon my advice, Elizabeth, nnd 1
give it for your happiness j marry Mr. Y'orke
and bo thankful ; reject him, and pass your
after life in repining, in self reproach at your
own ft lly."
Mr. Yorke received the answer lie wish
ed for. They wero to be married in
England, in autumn, but the preparations
were at once commenced. They both wished
Mrs. Yorke to go home immediately, but sho
would not ; perhaps some vague hope of re
covering, even yet, the child's body, chained
her to tho place. Tho last week in August
was fixed for their departure, and August at
length came in.
The fishing-boats began to retnrn from Ice
land, laden with their spoil ; by twos, by
threes, by little fleets of them, by ono. At
length all were in save two, the Belle lleleno
and the Rushing Water. These two delayed
much, and a report got abont, nobody knew
how, for it was certainly without fouudution,
that the Rushing Water was wrecked. Miss
Sherrington, in spite of herstlf nnd her be
trothal, heard the evil fear with a sickeuing
heart, and looked out for it in secret more
yearningly than any one.
Or than any, save one ; for, if her anxiety
was jr. at, what was it compared with that of '
poor Mrs. Janson ? Onedny.it was on a Fri- :
d.iy, Thereso had pone to the fish-market to i
purchase the usnal fust day's dinner, when in ;
the midst of her squolly burgnining with the :
fish vender, news flow about tho market that '
one of tho two missing boats was signalled 1
it was thought to be the Rushing Water. ,
Dashing the disputed Gsh back on tho wo J
man's board, awuy went Thorese to her mis- !
tress, and without nrcnmlocution announced
that the Uushiog Wuler wus making the bur- ,
bor. j
Mrs. Janson went down to tho po:t. The
boat was in, and being moored to the side ;
I. a Bello Helens. She asked tho crew news j
of the Hushing Wnler, but they had uots-ien
her on tho passage home. Yet tin- Hushing ;
Water hud been ono of the first boats to leave j
Iceland.
Disheartening news '. As Mrs. Sunson went .
back again, with a heavy step, sho encounter
ed Miss Sherrington.
'Young lady, go homo nnd pray," she snnl,
in her abrupt, stern manner; "pray tliut jou
may uot have caused his death us well as his
misery. Stay upon yonr knees until lluuvon
shall be pleased to hear you, as I am going
to do. There is little hope now."
"I heard the Rushing Water had come in
this morning," faltered Miss Sherrington.
' So did 1, but it proves to be the llelelie ;
and the Hushing Water left Iceland days be
fore her."
Sho passed on with her palo severe face,
and Elizabeth Sherrington continued on her
way.
Tho days went on. five or six of thorn.
Mrs. lorUe and Miss Sherrington were sit
ting in the twilight, the latter expecting Mr.
Yorke, whom she was trying, with all her
might and main, to like better, as a dutiful
bride elect should, when one of tho servants
came in, and said a gentleman wub asking to
sece her.
"Me! To see mo 1" dematided Elizabeth.
"A gentleman-sailor, miss. I think it is
Mr. Janson. He says will yon allow bim a
minutes conversation 1"
"Ob, mamma!" she uttered. "Mr. Jan
son 1 Theu the Rushing Water most be sale
in."
Mrs. Y'orke mado somo indictinct reply.
Her thoughts were buried in other things.
What, to her, was the safety of the Hushing
Water?
Elizabeth passed through the onte-roora
and entered the ono where he had been showu
He was in his sailor's attire, his gluzed hat in
his hand, looking, or Elizabeth thonght so,
handsomer thau ever.
"Then you ore in safety !" sho exclaimed,
grasping his baud in her agitated thankful-
uess, perhaps for his mother's suko, but for-
getful, at the moment, of Mr. Yorke nnd the
whole world. "We huve been couutiug you
as among the lost."
"Our homeward voyage has been bad, per
ilous, unlucky altogether, save that we have
ultimately arrived. Miss Sherrington, 1 hear
that you have been mourning Henry as
dead."
"Yes, yes. Oh, yes !"
"He is safe. He has been with os."
She did not scream ; she suppressed it.
Then she thought that she must be dreaming
or that sho was.
"He got into somo trouble, fell into the
water, and was ufruid to go homo," proceeded
Mr. Janson. "That mischievous imp, i'uul,
encountered him in his wet plight, brought
bim on board, coiled him up under some sails
and rope, and four and-twenty hours ultpr wo
left port Master Harry camo out. 1 wished
the captain to put buck, but he laughed at
nie : so he had to go with us, and I have ta
ken care of bim. Paul says Harry bribed
Liin with a five franc piece, three for himself,
and two to give to a messenger to take word
to his mother where be had gone ; but iiuce
I landed, an hour ago, 1 have heard that you
and Mrs. Yorke thought him dead, therefore
no message could huve been brought you. I
thought it well to ask to see you, that the
news may be broken to Mrs. Yorke."
"Obi how Bhall wo ever thank you?'' she
ottered, attributing all the good to Mr. Jan
son, in her confused feelings of joy. "Where
is. Harry ?"
"Waiting just inside the cafe at the next
door until 1 tend for bim, and beiug made a
lion of."
Miss Sherrington went into the drawing
room, which was almost dark then, and knelt
down beside her mother's chair.
"Mamma! mammal I have some joyful
news for you ! You will not faint if 1 tell it?"
"What news will ever be joyful to me
again, Elizabeth? What is the matter with
you, that you kueel in that strange manner ?
How you tremblu 1"
"Mamma suppose I hare news to tell
you about Harry ? That he is fjuud ?"
"Is it? is it?" excitedly uttered Mrs.
Yorke.
ltl She was thinking of the dead Harry
not the living one.
"Not 'it,' mamma, llo. Could you bear
for me to tell yon that ho is in life safe
well ?"
"Elizabeth, what do you mean ?" faintly
uttered Mrs. Yorke.
"Ho is, ho is. Dearest mamma, he has
been out with Mr. Janson in tho Hushing
Water."
She did not continue. For the door Lad
opened and a happy lad stood peeping in, in
a nondescript attire, composed partly of Lis
own things, partly of Paul's. Ho was
browned with the sea air, taller than before,
and his fair curls were wild and entangled.
With a cry he Hew Into his mother' arms,
aud the sobbed upon his neck aud kissed his
pretty face and hi untidy hair, and strained
bim to her a if aha could never lot aim go
again.
"Mn. Yorke, will you forgive my saying
that I think you wiil find him a more dutiful
oy than ba used to be ?" (aid Mr. Jansou,
vbo bad followed bim iu. "He has bad to
roojh it, and be nv knows the value; tf a
happy homo nnd a mother's lovo. I have
taken upon myself to discipline him, too ; I
have kept him from tho gnilorp, so fur as wbr
practicable, and rend him lessons on his
faults, and I believe you will find him changed
for the better."
"Oh yes, indeed, mamma," sobbed the lad,
"1 know now how naughty I wa?, and I will
try and never gricvo you and Elizabeth
again."
"Mr. Janson," cried tho mother, rifing and
speaking in impassioned tones, ' how can I
reward you for the joy that you have brought
me this night? If you asked me for my lifo
in repnymcut, I almost thiuk it should be
yours."
Sho left the room as she spoke, ansion- to
be alone, and Harry followed her. Miss
Sherrington was lost in thought.
"Philip Anson was lipid to it. to this day,
that Hntry was saved," sho exclaimed. "Ho
persisted in doclaring that ho saw him "Tier
Harry -crumbled out of the water."
"And now thot my task is done. 1 have
only to take my leave," observed Mr. Jan
son, holding out his bund. "This house ns
an interdicted placo to me before I left ; I
conclude that it is so still."
Miss Sherrington put her hand in his, and
burst into teors.
; Ho held it, nnd looked at her. "Elizabeth,
I what do those tears mean ? That you bate
: mo. as you did before?'1
! "1 never hated you. It was tho contrary.
1 I am very miserable."
"I went this voyage," ho whispered, "slri
! ving to hate, or rather, to forget you. I
! come from it, loving you more than ever.
Tho chiM's being on lunrd was again: t my
: project; how, when I constantly saw him,
I could 1 forget you ? My dearest, why should
wo separate ?"' ho added, straining her (o bis
; heart. "Let it be hot ween us as it once was.
Your mother has said she would give mo a
reward, even to her own l.l'o ; let me nsk "her
; to give me you "
i "Jt limy uot be," sho gasped, struggling
to release herself from him. "It "
"Not just jet can I marry," he interrupted,
, "Tor the only position 1 could ut present
j offer would not "
"Edward, pray hear me," sho said, in a
broken voice, as she drew away from him.
, "You know not what you ask. 1 utn proni-
ised to another."
. "To another !''
' "And in less than n month I shall be his
wiTo," she continued, too agitated to weigh
: her worJ?, "nnd I lovo you and not him. lo
you wonder that 1 am miserable? There;
now that you have the avowal, let us part
forever."
"Who is this?"
"Mr. Y'orke."
There wa3 n gloomy pause. "Must you
fulfill the contract ? Can you cot give him
up for me ?"
She shook her hertd. "I should only ham
per yon. 1 nm not lit to bo m poor man's
ife. No, 1 havo deliberately entered upon
1t, und matters have been advanced too far
to be broken oil' now. Forgive nie, Edward,
forgive mo all. We must forget each other !"
"Oh, Elizabeth, must this be the coding?"
"Yes," sho answered, the tears raining
from her eyes nnd her heart aching with
paiu. "I wish it had been dill'ereut, but cir
cumstances aro against us. Farewell, Ed
ward ; if ever we meet again, it must bo as
strangers. "Not so," sho hastily udded, as
he drew her fucu to his for a last embrace,
' it is uot right to him. Do you not hear me
say that in a little spuce 1 t hull be his wil'o ?"
"For the Inst time," he murmured, nnd she
made but it faint resistance. "Ho ought not
to grudge it to us. Now farewell, forever !"
Mr. Janson turned to leave tho room. He
saw not that somebody drew away from the
door, and stood bolt upright, in silence,
against tho wall of the duik nute-ruom, while
ho passed out somebody with a revengelul
i face, nnd teeth that glistened like a tiger's
Not that Mr. Yorko was of a dishonorublo
nature, or had dishonorably set himself to
listen. He had caught sotnewhut of the
scene ns ho was entering from the ante-room,
and surprise, doubt, und rage had chained
him there to the end. lie followed Mr. Jan
son from the house, nnd strode ubout tho old
streets of the town till morning ; now stand
ing under its high and ancient tower, as it
sent forth its sw et chimes on the open air,
now pacing under tho portico of thu church,
now slouching round the railings of the fa
mous staluo in the Place tho town's pride,
and now striding oH to the port, there to
suipriso the sentinels. But he buried his
wrongs within him very great wrongs in
deed they appeared to be, to his heated bruin
and told them not.
Little did Miss Sherrington think on tho
day of her wedding, wbeu sho gave her hand
without her heart, that the bridegroom
kneeling by her side knew just as well ns she
did that she hud no heart to give. At tho
best it was an inauspicious beginning of life,
and she felt it so ; she felt, too, that should
her futute existence bo one of retribution,
she bud ouly brought it on herself; as Mrs.
Janson hud almost predicted that night out
side the little chapel, when shn hud b-.-en
praying for the safety of the Rushing Water.

As a peasaut girl, named Meline Hubert,
daughter of a small fiirmer near Curbed, was
proceeding to Essonness, a few evenings back
a man armed with n thick stick, suddenly
presented himself and summoned her to give
up here money. Pretending to be greutly
alarmed, she hustily searched her pocket and
collecting some small pieces of coin held thftn
out to tho man, who without distrust, np
punched to take them ; but tho moment be
took tho money Meluine made a sudden
snatch at the stick, and wresting it from his
hand, dealt him so violent a blow with it
across the heael that sho felled bim to the
ground. She then gave him n sound thrash
ing ; and in spite of his resistance, forced him
to accompany her to the Commissary of Po
lice by whom ho was committed for trial.

WORK FOR JUNE.
The great corn crop is truly tho staff of life
of the country. Now, dur.i.g the present
month, it requires tho especial cine of the
cultivator. Let it bo thinned early, as soon
as it is out of danger from birds and worms.
Start the cultivators in at nn early day, to
clean out the rows in each direction, und go
over quickly with tho hoes to clear away tho
grass that may be starting about tho young
plants. It is desirable to have the corn laid
by hurvest ; it should never bo worked after
it shows any sign of tasseling. Every rrot
and rootlet is wanted then for tbe production
of grain, nnd to put in plow or cultivator to
cut them oil or tear them up is simply mur
derous. If you have allowed tho grass to
dispute possession with tho corn let them
"fight it out." Tho chances will bo in favor
of tho corn ; but if you lose that you make n
crop of grass, nnd that is about us much us
such cultivation deserves ; otherwise you
make neither corn uot grass, The great rule
in corn cultivation is to work eariy uud work
quickly ; that is, beforo the corn gets larg.,
and without too long intervals between the
workings. Corn that bus been thoroughly
and qnickly worked from the start need not
be touched after it rises ubove ibu hips of an
ordinary mail.
As to the mode oT woiking, the rule is to
woik deep before planting and shallow alter,
a mere stirring of tho surface is what is want
ed now. Pur this pnrposo tho ordinary corn
cultivator is sufficient. With the best man
agement, however, and especially upon to
bacco farms, tho crop will sometimes get "in
the grass," and to got it out tint plow is osoii.
lial. Every ono must judge for himself of
this emergency. Work with the mould-board
to the corn, throwing the earth well up, with
out breaking the corn. A good plowing in
June thoroughly subdues the grurs, ain If
done while the corn is small, and Well done,
it does not materially injure it.
HAY-MAKIN
Crops of clover ami orchard grass will be
ready for harvest early in tho month. The
lit time for cultivating clover is when about
one-half of the blossoms havo turned brown.
It is especially important, however with this
crop, to take time by the forelock, and if op.
porluuity and weather permit it is will to
begin earlier.
Tho succulency of clover makes it hard to
cure well, and Iron) bad curmg clover nuj
has got an ill-repute, which it by eo means
deserves. It is lieedless to say llial the boy
making requires the utmost euro uud dili
gence to bring it to a speedy conclusion.

Should ruin threaten, eveu that which is least
cured may be sufely put iuto small cocks luid
lightly up. Some persons prefer altogether
in such cocks. The leaves and finer portions
of the plants are better preserved, the stems
go through a gentle fermentation, and the
npcessarv haudlinir end exposure on an airy
day in taking it to the stack or bouse cures it
sufficiently. The principal objection to this
method it that it takes too long lime aud pre

Value of Buckwheat.
A luter issue of Hunt's Merchant's "r;v
ziue. in un article upon buckv, l.eat, thus
speaks of it concerning its properties ns ut
ediblo : "Considering the good qenlitii-s of
buckwheat, it is probably less n pucii.len
than nny other bread grain. Writers r n
agricultural products s"em to eschew it a-t
food for man. and regard it only as a mischie
vous adulteration of wheat Hour, or os a t in.
duct of poor soil for cattle. It is of a totally
different family of plants for tho cereals, and
will flourish on sandy hill-sides which tiro
barren for other grain. It is probably th
most easily cultivated, nnd the cht'a est
bread grain in the world. It is extensive!?
cultivated, in Belgium and some pints of
France, where it forms tho basis of fo-d f. r
tho inhabitants. Though its propprti nr.)
very different from wheat.it is, nevertheless,
quite as rich in all important compounds'
and in extremely cold weather, it is m,ro
substantial than wheat. It is, hov.ew.-, let
digestible, and opt to dis.igrce with weak
stomachs, or persons unaccustomed to it.
By analysis, buckwheat i fee md to wheat
in glutenbut deficient in starch. By tha
addition of ono-fourth quantity of oat, or In
dian meal to buckwheat tlour, the bread is
very much improved."
