His nrniws lly past the lines which btatesmen and diplo matists have thrown to murk the hounda ries of nations, und tranelix hearts, vhoie sole means of communiculiou is the "lan guage of tho eyes," into eternal unison. One of these Austro-Venetian marriages which made conbiderahle noise both in Ven ice ard V'cn'in, vas between General Ga blcntz a grim veteran of some fifty years of age, nnd bignoru Moiisini, Ihc sole daughter of tho Bignor Morisiui, one of the w ealthiest of the merchant princes of Venice. The General wlio was not supposed to bo a marrying man, was one day in the autumn of hist year, taking a leisurely stroll through the Giardino l'ublico, or Public Promenade. Tho General was accompanied by n young subaltren, for whom he had evinced a great liking. ' 1 Ail at once tho .utte'r-tioc of the veferan was attracted by a remarkably stately and graceful lady walking in advance of them. "Jlcin Gott!" said the General, iu a loud harsh tonu of voice, "hut that is a beautiful figure of a woman." The abrupt loudness of the roice in which this was spoken caused the object of tha General's eulogy to turn suddenly round, when a wave ot wind blew aside her veil, and revealed a fueo of the most perfect sym metry, lighted up with a pair of t-yes "large dark' eyes, which ''flash npon you a volley of rays, w hich seem' to say a thousand things at once," and which certainly dis charged upon a well aeaaoued veteran a tire hlcl muVKl.Sn.ct; mt'K(l. hint more than the tiro of puisketry or artillery to w hich he had been exposed in the- whole ourse of his military' lite. . There and then old Gablcntz owned him self completely vanquished. The; next step was to prevail upon his enslaver or her guardian to accept the homage of tha heart 4 and km ad dlio toller rioroty.r-. .1 Now,' at the timej tliu General wan per fect stranger to "the lady. He had never cast hiii eyes op Iter before that instant.

" Intense was the astonishment of all pres ent, but no one1 except the bridegroom him self, and the gentleman who ' had acted the part of friendly spy for him, understood the cause of the General's extraordinary and unseemly behavior." - : ' - i."-t ' 1 The ; latter gcbtleman, however, though greatly marvelling at the affair, readily sym pathized with the infuriated bridegroom; for there, before the altar, arrayed in bridal costume, stood not tha fresh and radiant beauty of the Giardino Publico, but a dry ami faded we might almost say a withered nod Scraggy faced, though tall and stately in her person lady, old enough to be, at lea9t, the mother of the young and beautiful creature whose fascinations bad vanquished the poor old General. ' When the Olllciiiting priest had recovered the composure disturbed by the bridgroom's outburst ot fury, he demanded to know tho cause of such conduct. ' "::! "Causer echoed the General ; "cause enough 1 ' That is not tho lady I bargained fori"- ' -V ' ; '.' ' - ' "But that lady is my daughter I" said the Venetian, stepping forward and confronting the warrior with a miom as fierce and stem as his own. "That lady is my daughter; though we arelhe subjeets'of a foreign rule, I, at least am not so cowurdly a slave, as to put up quietly with the gross insult you now oiler me 1" A general altercation ensued ; but the end of it wus that tho Genera' was compelled to marry ' the mature and unblushing, middle aged bride whom he had led to the altar. The - Austrian Commander-in-Chief in Venice, on being apea!i'd to, 1 and on the affair being explained 'to him, insisted that the honor of thu Austrian army, and even of the Emperor, were involved in the affair. "For," reasoned the Commander-in-Chief, "you know you procured my influ ence, which is that of tlie Emperor, to pre vail on the Signor Morisini to give you Ihc hand of his daughter; and inasmuch as the lady is his daughter, and his only daughter when you iiiiule your suit, you must be sen sible to the fact that it would never do to break your word. The poor crest fallen general WB9 compell ed to take the middle aged lady "for better and for : worse." It is possiMe, however, that he limy have Consoled himself with the reflection that the unplesant looking pill which ho had prornUcd to swallow ininlit be rendered palatable by a gildiug of some of his father in law's gold. , The source of thu mistake was easily cleared tip. Old Morisini had a son, settled as n mcr chant in Genoa. This &on, who w as mar rieel, had a daughter bearing the same name1 as her aunt Juliano Morisini. This (laughter the beauty of tho Giar dino Publico was on a visit to her grand father, at Venice, when, in the manner rela ted, she was seen bv General Gnblciitg, and who, I Ufa use her name was Morisini and she lived in the same house, verv illogically jumped to the conclusion tliat she must the old enelian, Morn-inia daughter. In hia impu'.icticu to have the fair one for his wile, lie hud dispensed with a long court ship and endecci, with any interview with tlie lady, satisfied with her father's consent, and fearing probably that his own age, and rou;;h and rugged address and countenance, might not make a tender impression on the soft nnd dazzling creature whom be desired to make his wife.- . MISCELLANEOUS. FARMER'S TAX. The following is very important to farm ers, and the decisions have recently been given by the Pommissioncr of Internal rev enue at Washington : . 1st. Farmers will not be required to mako returns of produce consumed in their own immediate families. .' 2d. The farmer's profits from sales of live stock arc to be found from deducting from the gross receipts for animals sold, thu pur chase money paid for the same. If animals have been lost during the year by death or robbery, the purchase money paid for such animal's may be deducted from the gross io' come of the farm. . . ... . , : 3d. No deductions cao be made by the farmer lor the value of servicea rendered by his minor childreu, whether he actually pays for such services or not. If adult children work for him and receive compensation lor their labor, they are to be regarded as other hired laborers iu determining hia income. ,4th. Money paid for labor, except such as is used or employed iu domestic service, or in tho production of articles consumed in the family of the producer, may be deduct ed. ; . ; . " .' .. ' ' 6th, No deduotion can be allowed in any case for the cost of unproductive labor. II 1 house servants are employed a portion of the time is productive labor, such as the making of butter and cheese lor sale, a pro portionate amount of the wages paid them may be deducted. ', ' . "'" ' (Mb. Expenses for ditching and cleaning new land are plainly expenses for permanent improvement and not deducted, ' . 7th;.

The following should receive a careful perusal from every reader: ' ' When a mandraws a breath of air Into bis lungs, the numerous little Cavities of the lungs are filled with air, which is a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen. A portion of the oxygen passes, by the mysterious action of tha endosmosis, through the. membrane of the lungs, into tho blood, which lias been distributed on the opposite side of the mem brane to receive it. The blood, having ab sorbed through the oxygen, carries it through the arteries, all over the system into the minute capilliary blood vessels, and here it is brought into immediate contact with the food, which, after digestion, bad been pour ed into the blood. . A portion of the carbon of the food combines with the Absorbed ox ygen, forming catbonic acid and generating pracisely the same amount of heat that the same quantity of carbon would generate if turned in the state of coal in a furnace.'.' It is this heat which keeps up tho temperature of the system, and it is the fundamental con dition for all those vital actions which con stitute life. Life depends upon the perpe tual tilling of the lungs with oxygen : hence if the windpipe is closed by a rope around the neck, or if the mouth and nostrils are immersed in water, death quickly ensues, The air that is breathed out of tlie lungs is mostly nitrogen aud carbonic acid, with but little of that oxygen w hich is the life giving clement. If a person is sitting in the room where the air is confined and still, when a volume of air comes from his lungs it fills the space about his mouth and nos trils, and the next breath that he draws in is mostly the air which has just previously passed through his lungs. As he continues to breathe the same air over and over, it be comes more and more deprived of its oxy gen, and more and more surcharged with carbonic arid ; consequently his vital func tions become less vigorous. . On the other hand, if a man is walking in the street while he is breathing, when he throws out a quantity of air from bis lungs, his head is carried along away from it belore he draws another breath, nr.d he thus gets a fresh supply of air with its full richness of oxygen at every oreatu.' llenco tlie vigor imparted to the system by exercise in the open air, und hence the importance of per fect ventilation ta those confined in houses. Besides, combining with carbon in the blood, oxygen also combines with iron, changing it from the brown protoxide to the red peroxides the rough of the silversmiths. It may be that the more perfect oxidizing of the iron in the blood is one reason for the rosy cheek of those who live out of doors. What Wjiitisob Keuihe Stanm.

Wintering Farm Momch. " Some farmer treat their horses In wintt much as they do their fattening cattle an sheep; ihey give them abundant food, an but little exercise, keep them in a wart and dimly lighted stable, and if they do hu grow fat, with their rattle and sheep, the deem it convincing proof that the prope course ha been pursued. Now horse ii good working condition, at least, houl( always bo seen on the premises of a goot farmer, but his gratiludo towards tbes faithful servants should not induco him, a' any time of the year, to stall feed them The butcher wants thick meat and plen,t3 of tallow in the cattle and sheep, but tin plowman looks for strong muscle, spirit and endurance in his team. The food and cart of the different animals should be consis tent with the ultimate purpose they arc to serve. Fat horses that, have been wintered mostly in the stable, without much exercise, are not fit for hard service at the opening of the working season In the spring, and a prolific source of disease is the bard work: they are frequently compelled to do when they are not in proper condition. The ordinary winter business of tho farm er does not call for much exercise of his team, and if he havo tcvcial, most of them may be entirely idle. In such cases it is an excellent plun to have a yard for their es pecial benefit, well littered and safe, ancl let them have access to it several hours each day. The horses should be unshod, and- if they are vicious they may be turned loose at different hours from tho others. The horses will show by their playful actions how much they enjoy this temporary relief from the stall. Another very important thing, often neglected by farmers, is the grooming of their teams. In the summer time tho horse, by rolling in the pasture, to a certain extent cleans himself ; beside tho rains have some effect. But in the stable-he relies on the caro of his muster, nnd tho keen enjoyment the curry-comb and brush evidently give him, should be ample reward for the labor. A well lighted stable, tho. roughly ventilated, yet free from current ef ir, should also be provided. In regard to the feed of horses, most farmers, we think, will agree to the propo sition that it is always good economy- to grind or mash all kinds of grain before feeding. It is well established that cut straw, cornstalks or other coarse fodder, fed with some grain, is cheaper than to winter horses wholly on hay. ! Without stopping to assign reasons we think they also come out in spring in better condition than when fed on hay alone. Good wheat or oat straw, fed with bran strengthened with corn meal, h been found excellent. When the weather is not too cold it is pre ferable to dampen the cut bay or straw and sprinkle the meal on it. . The wintering of horses should begin with the first approach of cold autumn nights. No work horse should now be left in the pasture except in the day' time. Exposure to a Urttlc autumn stormy night cause damage enough to the farmer's teams to nave pain tor years ot timely care. Rural Kcv Yorker, Making and Keeping Manure, However much may have been said on this subject, it does not seem to have had the desired effect, when we sec o many of those who are considered as our best farmers ne glecting to take any steps toward promoting this end ; who, instead of devising means for increasing its amount, even suffer a large part of that already obtained to be wasted. Now, I believe that most of those who per mit this are entirely ignorant of the great injury they are doing themselves, and there may be a few who, though they have had their attention called to it, yet fail to adopt any means for remedying so great an evil. I will endeavor to point out a few of the most prominent source of waste, and the means by which they may bp obviated, ' To begin with the most important of all manures, which is that obtained from our stables and cnw-housei. and which is usually thrown out into the barnyards to remain there without any protection from the wea ther, until after it ha been toaked by ritJ after rain, it is carried out into the fields to restore the waste occasioned by the removal of preceding crops. -- Now, if this water, after soaking through the manure, and extracting from it a largo amount of. its 'usefulness, was carefully saved by being caught in tanks, the loss would not be as much felt ; but even tbi is not done, and a barn ara generally built on the aide of a hill when possible, the water which falls into their yards runs otf almost immediately; and when not to situ ated, drains are usually cut from them to permit it to escape, and tbu a quality of the most fertile part of the manure i lost. Aow, this loss could easily be prevented. and with slight expense, by the erection of ashed under which the manure could be stowed, or what would be better still, if a covered pit could be prepared io whioh it might be deposited, aud any expense in curred ic this way would toon be repaid. Ammonia is also constantly escaping iroro the manure in the form of gas, and as it i a substance which contains a large' amount of nitrogen, which is especially beneficial to crops, it would be well if it were also saved. Ao, this can be accompluhed iy tue ap plication of aevesal substance to the manure. among the cheapest aad best of which i the sulphate of lime or plaster of Pari, and it does it io tins way : tue suipuuric acia id the sulphate of lime ha a greater affinity for the ammonia than it ba for the lima, and it therefore leaves the lime and attaobe itself to the ammonia, forming tue tuipuata oj ammonia, which 1 a fixed salt. , Hence, tha .frequent application to tha manure, partiou'arly that just carried from the stable, of a little of the plaster, . would greatly tend to prevent the escape of tbi - There it yet another point to which I would call attention, a&d that i tha ways by which we can increase eur stock of man ure; and though they are many I will only peak of two of .the most prominent t Tie Drat it by moan of tb com post heap, and the second, by the pig pea. , If you will only give your pig the material, tha quantity ot tufcoure they -will make will bo tmmenaa.
