THE AUOPTGI) IAtXiHTr.R.
BY LUCT A. HAHDAIX.
Tho cliill November ovctiing would liftve
been mctRmorpliosiMl Into the brigltttst of
Slay nioontides could it Irave stolen ought
of the sunny radiance that glowed in little
?lrs. Dnrlings face, as she sat by the crack
ing coal fire, in the large, velvet ey choir
she had ndheared to, spite of the chnngiftg
lki-liions of twenty-two yenrs, trith her tiny
feet onnn embroidered foot-stool, nnd nn
open letter in her Inp. The parrot, swing
ing idly to nnd fro in his glittering cnge,
blinked inquisitively nt Mrs, Darling, as if
he could not imagine why her pouch-bloomed
checks wore a brighter flush than usuid,
find the poodle dog, on his saliu cushion
before the lire, sleepily watching tho smiles
that danced unconsciously around her pretty
mouth, ns if ho could not Hud any reason
able grounds to account for them. Yes,
Mrs. Darling was happy, very happy in her
own thoughts so happy that she wns nl
taoit annoyed when Miss Pendleton was an
nounced, mid a prim, little old maid, quiv
ering with ribbons, and stiff, with black
silk draperies, walked- in tho cheerful
room.
"So,'" remarked Miss Pendleton, when
the ordinary subject of chit-chttl were ex
hausted, "your son has gone west, I under
stand r
"Yes,"' said Mrs. Darling; "Harry lias
always wanted to explore those regions, aud
as he intended to pass near the largo or
phans' asylum, I commissioned him to pick
me out some uice little girl to adopt."
"A little girl 1 bless me ! Do you know
w.'int a responsibility it wiil Mrs. Darl
ing .1" croaked" Mis Pendleton, shaking the
ribbons o.iiinoui.ly.
"Yes, " said .Mr. Darling, with something
of an Hj.'ologttic tone; "but you cannot
iintiginc luw I always longed for a dear
little daughter. Harry was well enough ui
.'ong as he could sit up on my lap, and have
his Ji;nr curled nroitnd my lingeri cve.y
mor,MHg; but lie is six feet two now, and
somehow 1 cannot moke up my mind to till
the vacant p'uee v ith Inp-dogs or parrots.
I want a st'-haircd, loving daughter to sit
beside nie it'll thou Jvng winter days to
teach, and fonjic and hf.ve ail to myself."
"You will bn'lit shockingly expensive
better have crivcit Iht) money to tho mis-
sionaries." taid Miss rendition, scornfully
eluvatiiis her nose at M.'S. -Darling s jouiau
tie fancies.
"We are rich ond can nfTu.nl to do lmth,"
said tho old lady, meekly. ''But
dear Miss Pendleton, to what Carry says.
Only think of it, ho is to be hwiut? to-night
in an hour." t
And she adjusted her spectacles ;n J open
ed the letter.
"Let me sec oh ! here it is," ond th W
she rend;
"I have hoeu to the nsyhun, as you desir
ed, denncet mother, and after a voyage of
inspection through about three hundred pug
nosed little creatures, succfed'-'d in finding
one whom I think will suitjou. She lias
curly black hair, beautiful eyes, and a com
plcxieui that makes uie think of your pink
liai.Miniine. You caticot help liking her dis
position sotnewhat rcservi-d at lirst ; but.
ni'teT you become well acquainted with her,
she is tlie uioct loving little creature
in (he
. 'i
world. I have been obliged to delay my
return for several weeks longer than J had
at liit anticiiiited, in order to make suita
ble arrangements for bringing her home
wi:h me. Uut wo thail be v. ith you on
Thursday evening without fail. I had al
most forgotten to tell vou thai her name is
Violet."
"There," said tho oid lady, triumphantly,
biking on her guld spectacles, "what do you
think of that J"
' Pcauty is only skin deep," said Miss Pen
dleton, oracularly.
."I know that, 'but I can't help being glad
she is urettv. I do like to see inttv tliiiins
aioutul, no matter whether they are" flowers ;
or pictures, or human creatures. I know I
shall love this littlo Violet. Let ma see,
Harry don't say how old she is, but I think
some six or seven years of age. Of course, I
will teach her kfitihig and all tlttit s:rt of
thing. I wonder if she cau lead. Good
gracious ! aix o'clock already. Petty, Hetty
we will have tea in hero to uight ;'it ij so
much more sociable. Now, don't go Miss
retielleton, lor tho nucieiit maiden
making a preparatory flutter among lie;
wns j
stiff
ribbons; "stay and take tea with me, and
sec my little adopted child."
Miss Pendleton, whose daily bread wns
picked up w herever she had u chance to cut
it from other people's tallies, was nothing
loth, and Mrs. Dnriing bustled round to pre
pare the evening meal "just as Harry likeel
it." And very tempting it looked to the
half-starved spinster w heitthc tout ensemble
was complete the hissing tea urn of solid
silver, the dainlly'eut slices of pink ham,
the baskets of cake, studded with fcitron
and raisins, and ridged with pearly icing, to
say nothing of cut-glass clinics where golden
pouches lay piled in a sen of saccharine juice
und crimson plums suggested huge preserv
ing kettles und skilful housewifery.
At hist, when the preparations had reach
ed a stage of perfection, nnd Mrs. Darling
hud consulted her watch for about tho twen
tieth time, there was a ring at the door bell
und a rattle of trunks iu the hall. Mrs. Darl
ing started up.
"It is Harry it is Harry! Now I ehr.ll
see my darling little new child !"
bhe sprang for ward ns tho door opened,
nnd the tall llguro of her son oppearc-el all
luullled in traveling apparel.
"My Harry! my boy !" she cxclnimeil, as
he gaily caught her iu his arms, showeriug
Halt a dozen kisses on her yet unwrinkled
brow. "Welcome homo ogaiu ! But where
is tho little girl '("
bhe giued around, evidently expcctiirg to
see some small apparition iu a blue-cheeked
anrou, but what was her astonishment when
Hurry, with a mischievous twinkle in his
dark eyes, led forward a beautiful young
creature of about sixteen, w hose theeka, half
veiled by tho long silky curls thut hung
over them, were in acarniino glow of pretty
confusion,
"Here she is. mother i the a potent linl
daughter I could ponibly pick up for you 1
Allow me to present rny wife 1"
Who rould resist the appealing glance of
thoae ioft lustrous eyes t Not Mr. Darling,
certainly, who inatinctivuly clasped the
aleuder ligyreto her motherly breast, though
her bratn was in a whirl of uilnuled perplex-
iy, eieiiuii aim asiuiiisiiiuciil.
"How do you like her, motbtrl"
"Like her 1 t am charnnd with her. But,
Harry"
"Ws'lP
"I thought j on found ht-r lo the orphan'
asylum"
'Ho did," interposed Violet, quite timid
ly. "Dearest momma, until this moment I
was nn orphan ; now I have learned wlint it
is to find n mother 1"
Mrs. Darling gave Violet Such a hn n
must have convinced her of the sincerity of
her ncwly-dawuiug rendcrness, while Harry
continued

Harry, admiringly contemplating the shi ink
ing little beauty, whoso face wns yet hidden
on his mother's shoulders. "I concluded
that such a wife as Violet would be the most
acceptable daughter I could briiijr yni, nnd
I waited two or tlirco weeks to induce her
to become of the same lufud, nnd hero we
are, Mri ond Mrs. Darling, Wasn't I right P
''Perfectly right," said Mrs. Darling, ca
ressing the soft curls of her new daughter-in-law.
"Welcome to our home and hearts,
dear Violet."
Jttrt at this moment tho old bidy recol
lected the presence of Miss Pendle ton, w ho
had sat very stiff nnd upright in the corner.
She was now formally presented to th' bride,
and in n few tiiiuutei .Jetty brought in tho
tea things.
"1 nm perftcfly ?at!sfled with that loving,
Creature, whispered Mrs. Dai lintr, ns, nt the
end of the evening, she insisted Miss Pendle
ton to put rm her bonnet. "All ir.y divums
of a darling adopted child nie realized in
Harry's wile. What do ta think abort it,
Miss Pendleton ?"
"I th'nk it is it curious way of adopting
a girl," said the rpinster, drily. "Hut. alier
all, when I look at her face. "l doa't bhiuis
Harry."
As Miss Pendleton wns uncompromising
ly opposed to matrimony as a general thing,
perhaps this was the most fluttering tribute
she could have yielded t Mrs. Dasling's new
daughter.

i decrease iu the supply of oil along the vallev
of oil Creek, has caused capitalists nnd
lirodiicers to turn llieir litti-ntioo lo tl.fl oil
territory about Franklin, which hud boiniu
a great measure abaudoucd in consequence
of the unprecedented yield of the great
flowing wells opened from time to time
upon the Oil Creek territory. A number of
gentlemen doing business at Franklin, have
associated with them somo New York and
Philadelphia capitalists, end have formed a
co-pnUiicrohip known us the "Pennsylvania
Petroleum Company," for tho purpose of
producing oil. they have pu;c;.:isKi a j
laru tract of land on tho river, a eh.;, I i
distance above Franklin", and have ord'-rcd ;
engines for tho purpose of sinking eielo or i
ten new wells. They havo already tubed I
uu nlel well, Ured some lime since, which j
commenced to flow with such fotco
as In j
start the seed bag and let down the tuluug.
It threw quite a quantity ot clear oil. en
tirely free froni water, iuto tho tank, .and
over on the ground, nnd gave very promis
ing judications that it would, when properly
tubed, make a largo flowing well. They
aro retubitig it auel have on the ground a
lino largo engine. Tho lands purchased
wero secured ut a high price, it being the
belief of tho couipiniy that wells equal to
tho best on Oil Creek, and much more
durable, can be obtuiued by boring to u
sutlicieut depth. Tho result of this enter
prise will bo awaited with great iiittro.t.

tho follow-
ing:
A new well has been struck up on Wild
cat, adjoining tho Wash. M'Clintoek Farm.
It was not tubed at our latest information,
but from appearances it is thought it will
flow from iiOO to S00 barrels per tiuy. A
well flow ing 150 barrels per day, is reported
as having been struck on Cherry P.un,
Jiuchauan Farm. We have received no
continuation of this, however. We have
also to report a new well on the Tin r Farm.
It is culled the Pennsylvania Oil .Well, and
Battler & Co. urn iutireated in it. It flows
a stream the full size f the conductor over
the top of the derrick. It has not yet been
tuutd.

"I perform tho opcratiou entirely under

und ceitair. as ftratting tho appie or pear. I
remove tho earth nrounel the stock ; it the
stock u likely to split free, saw it off some
i four to six inches under tho surface of the
j ground ; sidit it open, stick in or.e or two
I grafts, cut in wedge form with a sharp knife

keep the grafts iu place ; cover up with fine
soile and iiuiicti wen witu suori nay or any
loose rubbiah to keep tl.u soil moUt, and

Should th stock not spiit freely nt the pro

ling pluuts 1 then cut off the roots all arouni!
the piant, throw away the stock; and turn
up and graft the roots, if no thicker than a
pipe s-H-m, to uny thickness above that. In
this way 1 sometimes havo three or a half a
doen plants growing iu a bunch, a few
inches iipart. sjometimes I cut off a binuch,
graft, tie tightly and lay it under ground
the same as roots. I never use cement, as I
believe it to bo rather all injury thau a bene
lit; as any cement thut could bo Upplied
uouid not cheek the bleeding ; nnd n, to
outward moisture, the more the better. Pven
cuttings are sometimes struck in puro w titer
alone. All this., favorable, I would prefer
tho lust of February U early in March, to
give the grafts tho LeueSt of tho whole feu

is often wrongly done. When tho horso
becomes heated by hard labor and long
trutfelinjf, the blanket is thrown on' his back
rt once, the vapor steams up from his hot
sides, becomes eoneienscel and wets the
blanket, anel as the horse continues to cool

A bettor way is to allow tho nnlmal to stand
