But they are gone who shtred their joy with me! No eye now answers to affection's smile ! Still, glorious Hummer, do I weloome thee. And greet thy protenoo, though I weep the while.

It was a warm afternoon in July, and the Dexter girls, -diary, Josie, Funny and Sue, were out upon tbe broad piazza to catch the faint breeze that lazily stirred tbe leaves of the lofty elm that stretched its protecting arms over the old farmhouse. "How stupid we all are 1" vawned Funnv. throwing down her book and desisting l'lom the atteaipt to capture a fly thut persisted in alightiug on ber nose. "How I do wish it would thunder, or something would happen to wake us up." "U, goody I there a Cousin Kate coming across the lots. Now for some fun 1" And dropping her work, away scampered Josie down to the gardcu gate to meet her. Kate Wilde, or wild Kate, as everybody called ber and it must be confessed that she bad well earned the title came along, wiuging ber bat in ber hand, aa wus her usual custom, her light elastic step showing that she was troubled with neither corns nor their concomitauts, tight shoes. She was a medium-sized girl, with a clear, bright com plexion, brown eyes, and hair about the aaine color, and which, do her best, never would stay "done up," like the other girls', but, defying tbe restraint of comb and r et. persisted iu resolving itself into spiral curls around the neck aud temples; a style of coiffure not at all unbecoming to the bright, piquant face of its owucr. "Jow, girls," she said, depositing: herself upon the steps of the piazzu, and brushing buck the moist hair from her temples, "don't all of you begin to exclaim how terribly hot it is ; for one can see that by just looking a! you. I declare, if you dou't look us wil ted as so many cabbage leaves 1 As for me, it is just such weather as I like; it fairly maKes me grow. And she looked as thoucb it did. as she sut there with ber glow ing cheeks and spark- "B Eyct luu e'y picture oi ueuuu, luu anu frolic. "I've come to invite you to go a straw ber rying with me as soon as it gets a little cooler. I know a place where they are aa thick as they can hang, and as red "aud ripe aa cherries." "Where J" inquired a chorus of voices. "Down in Pebbly-brook meadow, not a quarter of a milo from here. You kuow where it is, Josie ; we went a-berrying there laBt summer." "Yes ; but you know Deacon Barnes own ed it then. 'Squire Graves is so cross ! He told Hob and the Harding boys that if he ever cuught them iu bis gross again he'd set his dog on them." "Humph 1 Perhaps he'll set his dog on me i" with a toss of her head. "I should really like to see him do it 1 Hut pshaw 1 he won't meddle with us girls. Not but that he's ugly enough to do most anything, but he'd be ashamed to. Say, girls, will you go? I shall, for one; fori dou't mean that all those delicious berries ahull go to waste for the waut of soma one to pick them." After a little more coaxiug and persuad ing, Kute carried the day, as she geiierully did, aud it was uually agreed tliul she wus to meet them tliere immediately alter tea. . At the appoiuted time Kate mude her ap peal an ce, basket iu baud, liift bare-headed, to the ustonialimeut of -the g'rls, who we it. waiting tor ber on the porch. "Where's your but V was the iainiO'bat inquiry. "i lie lost isawoi it, it was going over tlie ilam, was the cool reply. "A puff ot wiud took it off my head as I was crossing the bridge, But I wasn't going clear home ugain ; 1 thought that I could borrow some thing, or else tie a handkerchief over my heat!." : . "I know w-hat I'll do I" she exclaimed tri umphantly, us she spied a pile of hats that Josie hud been braiding; "I'll wear one of these ; it will be just the thing." "So will H Bo will IJ" was tbe merry response. .. . And following Kate's example, they ar- rajed themselves iu the coarse straw but. very generally worn by men and boys, during the warm weather, iu their out-door labor. Thus equipped., with many a laugh ut the transformation thus effected, especially in connection with their jackets, profusely ornametted with buttons, they set out upon iuuu capcuiuou in uigu glee. 'Squire Craves, the owner of Pebbly-brook meadow and the fertile lands adjoining it, uau oeen a resiueni ol. ureenville but a few months, during which time btr had-kept himself very ket-ludud, turning a eold shoul der to the rather, officious but , well-meant overt ur of ,his uaiyubpr "lo be sociable." as they culled it. There was little known iu regard to hi antecedents, w ith tbe excep tion that be wa man . ot considerable means and unblemished character. On pass ing through tbe place be bad been attracted by tbe beautiful situation of a small (arm that was for sale." Me bought it; and tear ing down the-old 'form-bouse, built a com modioua and pleasant uooUa, .where he lived in solitary state. Ot, cuie.jbut bis housekeeper , und oua ruaA servant, rarely going into publio, exaept to .church, -r i.; He was not generally likod i tbe men folks laughed at nla suiateur farming, and their wives were not a little indignant at bis want (.appreciation, of tbe hospitality fur which iheJ wer note'1- At tot tbe young lad it of j Orceoville tkej wcro unatimouSy of tbe opinion "that lie was-very handsome,"' with the lntitiiin ol' Kate Wilde, wlici declared Unit lie was "a Imrrilile looking creature, M lth - his tierce whiskers' und ' ttarinir black ef.'V . 'tiqtiiro ; Gfdves was hy no means misan thropical in his natural disposition ; on the contrary, lie had heart more thaa usually (vniputhctic and generous in its impulses. His seclusion and the chilling reserve of his manner were owing to a recent family afflic tion, which, though it attached neither dis grace nor blame to him, had cast a temporary gloom over his feelings and made him shrink from society. He had settled himself down to the dull routine of his present life with the fixed determination of never leaving it; but Miis for the vanity of human resolutions, especially those which repress the natural craving of the heart for love and sympathy, he was already growing weary of it.- And, as neur the close ol day the warm July day Boove-iiiennonud ne sat upon tne veranda j in 1'erry county, lnd., recently : A man siiiokiny, an unusuiilly lonely f.'elin came j mimed Frnneia J. Smith, who formerly resi over him, and the silence around him seemed ! (led in Floyd county, and for a short time almost oppressive. . i in New Albany, ia the murderer and suicide. W hat a bewitchinply pretty countenance I that girl bus!" he soliloquized. "Kate Wilde, I believe they cull her. I think I never heard such a sweet laugh." ' ' 'bqnire Graves had seen Kate at church every Sunday since his arrival, and hail been irresistibly attracted towards her; and that very morning, as he chunced to go by her father's house, he had canirlit a irlimnse of her bright eyes and rosy cheeks in the car den into which he had been tempted to look by the merry tone und gleeful laugh which proceeded from it. Then as he dreamily watched the smoke circling above bis head, he tell to wonder ing how such a face and figure would look opposite him every morning at tbe breakfast-table, and what a general transforma tion they would effect in his lonely home. From w hich blissful dreams he aroused him self With a half sigh at the celibacy to which he had inwardly pledged himself. "Them pesky boys are in the medder again, 'squire," said his mun. Joe. thrusting bis head through the door. "That 'ere gress will be so tied up that it can't be mowed nohow you can fix it." 1 he boys of the neighborhood had been very annoying of late in their depredations upon bis orchard and garden, iu which be took no little pride, and the announcement of this fresh "raid" quite exhausted his re maining stock nt patience. "iney ore i he exclaimed, "l ve tried what virtue there is in words, now I'll try the effect of something more potent. Go and unchain Bruno I" With the huue mastiff at his heels, which. fierce as it was, was perfectly under his mas ter's control, 'Squire Graves reached the brow of a bill which gave him a view of the fair raiders. Iu it stoopiug posture, little could be discerned of them above the tall grass save their heads, whose strange gear certainly gave them a very masculine ap pearance. In spite of his indignation, desirous of frightening rather than hurting them, 'Squire Graves held buck the eager dog un til be had, by a loud hulloo, warned them of his design. As soon us tbe girls saw the fierce animal. with open mouth, bearing down upon them, they let fair their pails and baskets aud made for the nearest enclosure, over which they tumbled in a manner distinguished lees by grace than expedition ; giving vent, in tbe meantime, to a scries of piercing screams,uch us can proceed only from female. lungs, and those in a state ot unusual health and vigor. All got safely over with the exception ol Kate, who, being the last to go, hit her foot against a stone, and was momentarily stun ned by tu tall it occasioned. As 'Squire Graves caught a glimpse of the flying foe, his ungry feeling changed to as tonishment und dismay, and he quickly hastened to the spot to prevent any farther mischief. "Back, Bruno I back, you brute I" be ex claimed, as Kate rose to ber feet and turned ber flushed face towards him. Good heavens! it was, tbe diviuity that bad occupied his thoughts so much of late. "I earnestly trust thut you have sustained no injury, Miss Wilde i"' lie said, removing his hut respectfully as he spoke. "Not iu the least, sir; though it is not owing to any consideration ou your part !" "Very gentlemanly conduct, I must say I" she added, looking with an icdignaut air, brat at ber soiled dress, and then at the crest-fallen mau before her. "I 1 iieg your pardon," bo stammered ; "but the fact is, your dress so deceived mi (hat I I really took you to be boys !'' ; "2'vok u to be boyij" repeated . Kate, iu aslonishmenl. Tne n, aa her eye fell upon the hat at her feet, her anger evaporated in a clear ringing luiigh. which did more than anything else could have done to restore our hero to his usual case and self possession. In the meantime, the rest of the girls h .d sought the shelter of a grove io uu adjoin iug field. Missing Kate, two of the boldest of them volunteed to go uud ascertain her fate. As they came within sight of the field of their disaster, they were astonished to see 'Squirt). Graves politely assisting Kate over the fence ; which act of gallantry she eceived with much, apparent complacency and good humor. . . . -j--. - When Kate reached tbe grove, she found ber companions bemoaning their several mishaps., One had lost a ed, another a shoe ; dresses had been draggled through tbe mud, and torn iu . various places, aud their apparel, as a whole, was iu a rather dilapidated condition. They were of the unanimous ypiniou ihat 'Squire Gaves . was a "brute," an "ogre," a "perfect savage." Kate listened to these auathemas in si lence, though witb eyes brimming with mirth. Af last,' unable longer to contain berself, she hurst forth : ' .... "Sciuiie Graves isn't to blame. ' What do you think, girls t be thought we were boys!" Here Kate sat down upon the grass, and laughed until the -tears rolktd clow ber cheeks, in which she was joined by the rest. ' 'Ho'sent bumble apologies to 'yon'!!, continued Kate, us goon her mirth permitted her to speak, "and said, 'that he should be happy to have us 'iek strawberries 'in bis meadow wbeneVef we felt disposed to do so. What do you think of that!" "" '-. "Ttiok f said Josie, with a significant look; "I think that the 'perfect savage' has been tamed very suddenly: ' What kind of a charm did you nee, eh, kwte I" - At this, Kate blushed, and for -once, was at a loss for an auawer.i o sha banged the subjeot, by proposing bus they ail should start for borne. ... ,:i.i.f:.-.i.i ..!,ii....!!!

MISCELLANEOUS. An At rot-lots .Murder and Suicide. The- New Albany (Ind.) Ledger gives the following particulars of a double murder, seldom eu unlet! in atrocity, which occurred His wife, Mitry, and his little son, Roger, were the victims of his fiecdiah malice aud blood-thirstiness. The murdered wife first met Smith in thia county in the latter part ol the year 1804. A short courtship follow- j ed, when they were married in 1S00, and i immediately removed to Perry County, near j Derby, where Smith owned n farm. For a 'short time thev lived nleasnntlv ennueh to- gether; but after the birth of the boy Roger, wuich occurred In December, 1863, Smith frequently beat and abused his wife in the most shocking manner. He also treated the child witb revolting cruelty, at one time bold- j ing it over a blaring Are until it was nearly roasted. ' I he devilish spirit that actuated Smith to the preparation of these barbari ties was jealousy. He frequently denied the paternity of the child, and accused his wife of improper intimacy with a man who resided in the neighborhood.' Finally, un able longer to bear the persecutions heaped upon her by her brutal husband, Mrs. Smith left him and went to New York. She af terward returned at her husband's request, and upon hia promise to do better ; but she wus cruelly thrust from tbe bouse, and du ring the remainder of her life was a wander er through the neighborhood, without any other home than what was given her through tbe charities of the people. On Wednesday lust Smith met bis wife at tbe bouse of a neighbor, whither she bad gono to seek as sistance. She bad concluded to seek aid from the township Trustee, and Smith told her he would accompany ber to thut officer's residence, to which she assented. It was just before noon, when they started. Smith took her oy a circuitous out-ot-the-way route through the woods, and kept her und the child with him until near 10 o'clock at night, when he reached a durk and secluded ra vine. Here he budo the poor, wretched, heart-broken wife sit down at the root of a tree. 1 he woman obeyed, and -the fiendish husband then told ber that he intended to kill both ber and the child. The night was durk and it was raining, and escape was vain. What pen can portray the horror and agony of the mother there in that dark forest, alone with such a desperado as me naced her. Tbero was horror in that scene beyond all powers of description. Smith then proceeded deliberately to his work of murder. He seized a heavy stone and witb a single blow crushed in tbe skull of the mother. Not yet satisfied, he seized other atones and hurled them against her head, until the vital spark had fled. With the same instruments of death be beat out the brains of the child. When both were dead, he took the strings from tbe murdered wife's shoes, tied her feet together, thee crossed ber bands over her bosom and tied them io that position. He next took the child and placed it alongside tbe dead body of the mother, and with the mother's shawl cover ed up the victims of his murderous passion, and departed to bis brother's residence, a few mile's distant. At the brother's bouse Smith wrote a letter, in which he pretends to detail the circumstances of his married life aud of tbe murder, told what be bad doue and what was in the letter, and then, taking his brother's ride, be stepped out in to the yard, placed the muzzle of tbe gun over bis heart, set off the trigger with a stick, and . fell . to tbe ground dead, shot through the heart.

The committee to select a site for a Masonic Hall were authorized to purchase the - block bounded by C'uthliert, Fillcrt, Juniper and Broad streets, Philauelphia, for $155,000, to take possession in July next. The growth of Masonry is said to have been accelerated with threefold rapidity by the. war. In 185fi there were lb3 lodges, 11,105 members, 104U members of the Grand Lodge, and a Grand Lodge debt of $151,000 while the charity funds were but $38,125. In 1801 there were 173 lodges, 18.651 members, 1500 members of the Grand Lodge, and a Grand Lodge debt of $73,200, while the charity funds were $75,870. In I8S5 there were 100 lodges. 20.250 merrbera, 2105 mem tiers of the Grand Lodge, and a Grand Lodge debt of only $11,000, and charity funds amounting to $08,470. During the Masonic year of 1800 twenty new lodge warrants were issuod, and nineteen new lodges couslituted.

Butler, the well known Methodist missionary who established tha mission of that church in India, In 1806, recently re turned to this country. He makes tbe fol lowing statement of a remarkable case: in 1850 a British soldier, wbile bearing a dis patch from one magistrate to another in tbe kingdom of Oude, passed an unfrequented ravine, where be saw a pack of wolves, and witb them a human being, evidently one of their company. Immediately turning back be reported the circumstance to the magis trate for whom be was traveling. The lat ter forthwith mustered a number of Coolies and went to the place. The pack of wolves lied a short distance and sought rcfugo in a sort of cave or den. Beginning to dig, the party soon discovered the feet of the wild man, and, drawing hire forth, succeeded in binding aud carrying him to the town. r. Butler has seen him often since, aud says he is evidently a man, and at the time of bis capture apparently about twentv-four years of age. ' j 1 lie captured creature at first violent!? 1 resisted the attempt to put clothing upon mm, out alter a wniie ceased to tear the garments. He is now kept by a gentleman in the city of Thsje Vumpore, some eight hundred miles west of Calcutta. When first taken he was unwilling to eat any thing hut raw meat, and has never been able to speak or make any approximation to a knowledge of the alphabet. If any . one looks earnestly or sharply at him, he ex presses bis annoyance by - a half-uttered grunt, immediately turning away and set tling upon his haunches in a corner of the room, or lies down. He eats his food off the ground, and although a human being, is in bnbits a wolf, with the instincts of that beast. This is certainly an anomalous fact in history, although it is said that foar simi lar cases are known to have occurred in India, presenting the. same general facts. Wolves abound in India, where the in habitants live wholly in the cities and villages ; and at tbe approach of night all persons employed in the open country retire to these clusters of bouses, or buts, and these roving and ferocious animals find free tango. It frequently happens that a wolf steals into a bouse and carries off a child. So frequently is tbis the case, that io the schedules furnished for recording the mor tality in eacn place, one column is beaded, "Carried of by wolves." Keep Dakk, Old Feli.kr. Gen.

The Wheat Midge or Wheat I'ly. On tho 18th inst., Mr. C. J. Hiestand, an intelligent farmer of Mount Joy township, brought me somu earth . containing . the larvm of the "Wheat Fly." sometimes er roneously cnlled the "Red Weevil." Mr. H. obtained this earth from a low, flat portion of a wheat field gu hia neighbor's form ; a field in which wheat was also grown .last season. After a heavy sjiower of .rain, which overflowed this low part of tbe field, when tbe waters had subsided, he found tbe smooth earth covered with a yellowish deposit, but having no magnifying-glass witb him, and bis natural sight not being strong enough, he could not determine what tbe nature of tbis yellow subetanco was. Returning to the field tho day after the rain, Mr. II. was surprised to find that the yellow substance he saw the day before bad entirely disappeared ; but on closely ex amining tbe surface of the earth, he found it punctured with millions, ' perhaps at least witb unaccountable numbers of small boles, as though tho smooth clay had been thickly pricked with a pin. On digging down half ar. inch below the surface, he found any number of tho little yellow ob jects which be was in pursuit of, and which, on examination, prove to bo the larva? of Ceeidomyia tritiei the destructive wheat fly. With those in my possession I produc ed the same effect witnessed by Mr. Hiestand. On saturating the soil , with ' water, it brought all the larvre to the surface, but, after tbe water had subsided, they would all penetrate the soil and go below, leaving the surface like a finely celluluted sponge. This fnrt, developed - through the in strumentality of Mr. Hiestand or, rather, confirmed by his discovery settles a here tofore mooted question : That is, that the larvre of the wheat fly remains a larva; in the earth of the field where it was born, from the middle or end ot June in ono year, until tho 18th or 20th of May, at least, in the next year. Now what does this luct suggest to the intelligent farmer? Why, clearly this: That he ought to institute an examination o! his wheat fielda during the month of May say from tho 10th to tho end of the month and if he finds tbesa orange colored larvas in the soil-which he will by tbe aid of a common pocket magni fier, and digging from a half to an inch and a half below the surface in any consider able numbers, then let him turn it doicn with a deep tub-toil jihw. If there is only one acre of ground in Mount Joy township that is aa thickly permeated by the larvae of tbe wheat fly as the email quantity of soil brought to me by Mr. U., euough flies may breed from it to inoculate tbe whole town ship, if not half of the county. It would be a nice question to determine bow these insects can subsist in tbe larva state, and he subjected to all tbe various changes of heat and cold, wet and dry, for the period of nearly a whole year. This fact would seem to imply that there is aa other remedy than the ono which has been sug gested, because any application that would destroy tbe larva) would also destroy the wheat, and might also unfit tbe soil for a subsequent crop. If tho plowiug down seems to be necessary, from tbe presence of these larvre in the soil, a crop of corn or late potatoes may still be raised upon it. But many of these larva) do not reach the ground, but remain in the husks of tbe grain and carried to tbe stack and tbe grain mow. According to tbe experiments of Dr. Asa Fitch, they do not die in the grain husks, but, on tbe contrary, on tbe application of moisture tbey revive again. I bavo on va rious occasions rubbed infected wheat-heads until they were completely divested of their grains, aud found afterwards that tbe larger number of the larvao remained in tbe chaff. It has long been my opinion that tbe chaff may pass through a threshing machine and a winnowiug mill, and tho larva) or pupa be still in it, comparatively uninjured. . A portion of this chaff is fed to cattle, but a large portion reaches tho barn-yard, and is from theruse hauled to the fields. When knoien to be infected, it ought to bo burnt.
