"Anil now we'll have a cozy, cnmforttiblc evening togetiicr," said my wife. "And but wuut'a tliat, Irving ?" My wil'o Blurted nervously ns it sharp peal nt tho bell interrupted a brief interval uf domestic ijuiet. "Only the surgery bell, my clear. Some body wanting me, I suppose." I went down stairs secretly wondering to myself if, .after all, there wns such a very wide difference between a galley clave and a country doctor. The surgery door stood wide open, but nobody wns there, aud through the blinding darkness without I could discern the dark outline of a close carriage, and a man stand ing at the horse's head. "Who's there ? what's wonting V I asked, coming to the threshold und instinc tively buttoning up the overcoat I had hur riedly thrown on. "loll re wantei!, iloctor," Ftiul too man, t-peuking indistinctly behind the tuulUing that surrounded his fuce. 'Yes, but what for ? Who wants nic ?" "I urn not at liberty to tell.'' I had already entered the carriage, but tli is suspicious answer inspired mo with dis trust. I made a Btcp to descend, but it was too late. The vehicle wus already iu mo tion. "It is quite unnecessary to alarm your solf, doctor," said a quiet, measured voice nt my side. "Uelieve me, you arc quite safe; aud I trust you will not feel any unea siness wheu I tell you that you must be blindfolded." And at the fame instant a folded bandage was ileltly (.lipped over my eyes. "Hold 1" 1 ejaculated. "It strikes mc that this is rather supcifiuous. The night is as dark as Erebus, and you have no lamp." "Possibly." returned the dry voice: "luit it is best to run no risks." Aud then ensued a silence of some ten or fifteen minutes, while tho carriage rolled swiftly along, aud the low mesurcd breath ing of my unknown companion kept time to my own uucomlortuuio thoughts At leugth my companion spoke nguin in the same solt, modulated tones. "Doctor, one more little precaution is lie cessary you promise never to disclose to a humnn soul u word ot this night s visit." 1 hesitated. "I cannot bind myself by nny such cove naut. Tho relation between liiiysieiuu aud putieut arc, of course, couGdcutiul, but 1 no carnatro paused abruptly Ueic, aud the door swung open. At tho same instant something cold touched my temples. It was the muzzle of a pistol. I recoiled in horror. ; "You surely would not murder uie J" "I promise 1" I gasped, recoiling once more from tho chilling touch of tho cold steel at my temples. "Very well. Come?" I wus lea up a narrow walk, through a doorway, into a room, where the bandage was removed suddenly from my eyes, The spot was tery familiar to mo a ru inous cottage, long since abandoned to de- I !.-. . - f .1 .. .. I. llow tho carriage had ever reached at a loss to know. Upon a pile of straw, hurriedly thrown into a corner of the moul dering floor, lay a prostrate figure, moaning at every breath, ilia Inco was concealed by handkerchief, and the blood was slowly dripping from a gunshot wound just abovo tlio uuklc a wound wuicit Had oeeu tluui sily dressed by some uuskillful hand.' Moreover tuoro was a dark red stain on the straw vhero bis bead lay, and his light huir was matted with coagulated drops. I wo or three men stood around, with rude masks of black cloth drawn over their faces, in which threo blitg wero cut for the eyes aud mouth. and a female figure knelt by tho ht&p of straw, veiled closely, Tho men silently made way lor mo as i advanced into the apartment, und bold their lanterns so that tlio lund light suouiu laii full upon my strange patient, as silently I atnnnnA .nil A Vfllll 1 DmI luith tllG WOUllda "Well t" asked mv e&riiaco couiiiauion.

She did not seem more than thirty, but I afterwards knew that she was nt least ten years older. Hut, in spite of her present anguish, Low grandly beauti ful she was 1 Largo dark eyes hair liko coiled gold, catching some strango gleams from tho shifting lanterns and a broad, smooth brow it was a face you bco but once in a whole lifetime. And yet in the midst of her distress, sho never spoke. "At least you can do something for him, doctor?" said my interlocutor, impatiently. "Don't let us waste time here." As I proceeded in my ministrations, the moaning grow fainter, the convulsive move ments becamo scarcely perceptible. A fuint gleam of hope lighted up the face of tho wo man who knelt with clasped hands opposite; she looked appcaliugly nt me. "Ho is better he is surely better?" "Ho will be better soon," I answered, moved to pity in spite of myself. "lie can not live half nn-hour longer." Tho horror of thnt sepulchral silenco that fell upon us as my accents died away shall I ever forget it ?" And fivo minutes after wards tho breathing spasmodic mid painful to hear, died into eternal stillness. The young womau lifted the corner of tho handkerchief, nnd gazed into the ghastly face. It was that of a young man of about twenty two, and who had evidently been marvelously good-looking. "Oh, heavens, he ia doad 1" Her clear agonized voice was ringing in my cars ns they led mo back into the dark ness of the night. I felt a bank note press ed into my baud ns I entered the carriage once more. "Doctor, you have done your best ; it is not your fault that your efforts hnvu not been more successful. Uemcmber you are pledged to secrecy." The next moment I was whirling swiftly through tho November midnight with the strange, unquiet feeling of one waking sud denly from a startling dream alas 1 it was a stnrtl'tng reality. The carriage stopped' nt a cross-road near the village. "Please to alight here, sir," said tho driver. "You are not far from home." I obeyed, aud stood listening in the mid dle of the road, while tho noise of the car riago wheels died away, losing its distinct ness iu the shriek of tho restless winds. And the clock of the village church tolled out the hour of one. Late os it was, however, my surgery wns still open and lighted up , the servaut from lladdcnleigli Hall had just ridden to the door. "If you please, doctor, you aro wanted immediately at tho Hall. The Colonel said you wero to ride my horse, if yours was not already saddled, and I can walk, so there will bo no tune lost. ' I mecluinicully mounted the noble animal that stood waiting for mc, and rode off, rather glad of an opportunity to revolve in mind the singular adventure that had be fallen mc during the evening. Haddcnleigh stood a little bock from the road on a magnificent knoll crowned with century-old chestnuts nnd beeches ; and 1 reached the broad stone steps in about half-uu-hour, by dint of rapid strides. As 1 entered tlio vestibule, Uolonel Glad den, who had beeu pacing up nnd down the nun in a pcncct ugony vi mipaiiciiee, euiiie to meet me. "Is that you. Dr. Sb-llcr ? I thought you would never come. We're iu n pretty stuto of confusion here 1 Durglars in tho house my wile a set of diamonds gone nobody kuow.4 what else but old Hopkius left his sign manual upon one of tho fellows.

It's Hopkins, tho but ler j lie got an ugly blow on tho left nrm and afterwards my wife went herself for Dr. JIaynard no cllcipie, Meller, but ho lives nearer than you but ho wns out. She has ouly ju.st returned. I couldn't very well leave Hopkius and Mrs. lltulden, is sucu a kind, L'ood soul, she insisted ou going her self to fetch Mayuard " "But, my dear sir " "Ah, true I Come alcug to Hopkins' room." Hopkins, the butler wns as valuable as Ins master, and ten times ns circumstantial; nud by tho time I had set his broken forearm 1 was pretty well in possession of all tho par ticulars of the uttempted burglary at Had dculeigh. And. thinkin!: of mv mduh'cnt patient, whoso life hud ebbed out upon the pile of straw, I felt a strungo guiltiness as 1 listened to Col. Hadden's eager conjectures as to the whereabouts of the desperadoes who liucl fled. "And now, doctor, we 11 tako a glass of wiue," said tno tiospitnuio oui gcniieman, uahering mc luto Ins library. It was brilliantly lighted, and warm witii the crimson glow ol a genial lirr, before which, in a siucuhirlv cracclul attitude, sat a lady, wrapped iu the gorgeous folds of an Indian shawl. My wife, doctor. Isabel, my love this is Dr. Meller." Wo stood before ono anther in silence. I could not speak, for I knew I was looking into tho startled, nconized eyes ot tlio wo man who knelt scarcely an hour bko by tno dviuir couch in the desolate cottnire Col. lladdcn'B now wnc, or wuoso oeauiy i uau heard so much. Tho Colonel talked on, but I beard not a word that ho said. I could not but marvel at tho wonderful self-possession of tbo wo man, who smiled and looked grave and said, "Yes" and No" lu tuc ngut places. "To be sure." tho Colonel was Baying, as 1 awoko to a sort of consciousness of bis voice, "tho loss of Isabel's diamonds is something serious, but of courso we bhall rucover them again. Only, my love it was rather careless of you to leave them on tho table." "It was careless," replied Mrs. Haddcn calmly. "Doctor, von aro not coingl Colo. nel you have forgotten that curious old dook you wero wantiujj to show Dr. Meller t" - . ....... . as tno aoor closed ucuiua tno uouesi oki gentleman, Mrs. lladden glided up to me und placed ner cold nana on miuo it was liko tbo touch or an icicle. "Doctor, you have my secret you suroly will not betray It!" "I am pledged to silence, inauam," i re I tumfld coldlv! "but this deceit" I "It is not my fault.

I rodo homo to my blue-eyed littlo Elea nor, leelmg ns I entered the snug sitting room us if I wero returning to tho homely, hnppy atmosphero of every day life. But I never forgot tho terrible excitement, tho fearful suspense of thut November night. I lie desperadoes who uod attempted to rillu lladdcnleigli Hall wero never detected or taken all track of them seemed to havo utterly vanished out of the earth. And were it not lor the bank note which liberally recompensed my service, nnd tho everlasting witness borne by Mrs. Hadden's lovely face, I should almost hnvo been tempted to fancy that nil the events of that marvelous November niuht were the frag ments of a dream. This was my adventure the first nnd last that over crossed the pnthwny of my life. MISCELLANEOUS. 'I'll in-low Weed v. .Mr. Uucolu. AS ISTEllKSTISO EXPLANATION AND A BITTER ltF.HUKU. . Thurlow Weed writes in the New York Cvmincniul AJrcrtier as follows, under the head of "Outrageous Mendacity," which will be read with great interest in connection with certain developments concerning Mrs. Lincoln's wardrobe : Wc have never approached a question with half the sorrow that this one awakens. To vindicate, shield and protect "Heaven's best gut to tm.n. Is n gruteltu duty, while to cveu reprove, and much more to assail a woman, is paiutul, and-it without a per fect justification, unmanly. It tlic American people have failed to meet tho pecuuiury expectations of Mr. Lin coln's widow, it is because that personage lulled, during his life and since his death, to inspire either with respect or confidence. They should not, therefore, be subjected to tlio reproach, or rest under the imputation of iugratitudc. Had Mrs. Lincoln, while in power, borne herself becomingly, the sug gestion of a Lincoln fund, by voluntary con tributions, would havo been promptly re sponded to. The national heart was warm. It gushed out in liberal endowments for Oraut nud Furragut. It would ns cheerfully have met tho nppeal iu favor of Mrs. Lin coln if it had not iutuitively closed nud chilled. In her conversations Mrs. Lincoln is rep resented ns bitterly denouncing Secretary Sewnrd, for which, of course, there is no wnrrant or excuse, for he wrongs no man, and much less is he capable uf injustice, wrong, or even unkindncss, to women. But we happen to know tho lato Caleb S. Smith, then Secretary of the Interior, be ing our informant a fact which incensed Mis. Liucoln against Mr. Keward. The Pre sident gave the Prince Napoleon a dinner, for which Mrs. Liucoln sent to the Secretary of the Interior for payment a bill of some $'J00. This demand, though wholly illegal, coming from the President's wife.cmbarrass ed the Secretary, who called upon tho Secre tary of State for advicc,whcro he learned that ulr.Seward had also diucd the Prince.having thi) same- number of guests, nnd giving them duplicate oi tno dinner at tho Wbito House. In fact, Mr. Seward ordered both dinners from the restaurant, and, by his own bill, knew tho cost of ench. For what Mr. Sewnrd paid $:j00, Mrs. Lincoln demanded 'J0U. But whether three or nine hundred. the claim was alike illccal and could not bo paid. For this, however, Mrs. Lincoln quar reled with the Secretaries Smith nnd Sew ard. This amount, however, was subse quently covered npin the gardener's account uut occasioned scaiuiai, winch respect lor Mr. Lincoln measurably suppressed. Though Mr. Lincoln left au estate which enabled his family to live as comfortably ns tney ever lived, congress and tlio pcoplo would have promptly nnd cheerfully provi ded munificcutly for them if. Mrs. Lincoln herself, with every advantage that high po sition gave her, had made friends or inspired respect. And tnis last cxiiution proves now nstinctively right tho popular estimate of her character was. The fact for which Mrs. Lincoln seeks largo publicity, namely, that sho received presents valued at $21,000, is a pregnant und suggestive one suggestive, at least, of offices und contracts, uuless tho more chari table construction is reached throurrli the assumption that they wero expressions of regard and iricndship. lint is not known that the wife of nny (it her President, however estimable, was so loaded with shawls, laces, furs, diamonds, etc. Slrs.I.incolu s propensity to sell tilings was manifested early, and bcforo any necessity was foreseen. If our information is reliable, eleven of Mr. Lincoln's now linen shirts were sold almost before the remains, which wero shrouded iu tho twelfth, had started for that "bourne from whence no traveler ro turns." Individually, wc are obliged to Mrs. Lin coin for an expression of bcr ill-will. It is pleasant to remember that quarter. And it is equally pleasant to remember that wo possessed the friendship and coufldeuco of Mr. Litcoln to tho last hour of his lifo with out paying court, as others did. to Mrs. Lincoln, and iu spito of her constant efforts to disturb our rclatious. This mortifying revelation will go abroad, and, as is natural, the press of Europe will mnko tho most of it. in denrccatiuir the in- gratuudo or our government ana want oi liberality in tho American people, inis consideration alone constrains us to dis charge tho unpleasant duty of showing that neither tho Government nor the pcoplo are justly obnoxious to tueso accusations. Who Starts tub Fashions? The New York WrrUl and Z'twui are disputing about the ladies' fashions. Tbo Timet proposes a "Congress of American women to decide what style of dress American women shall wear." The TiVrlisays: "Wo havo no sort of objection to such Congress ourselves : but it is certainly a de ligbtful fancy that its members would ever agree upon ouytning." Then, attain, the W'utid says : "The Ficucli fajhious, which all tho world toutiuuca to pattern alter, arc imw, uud fci a long tiuio have been, set by tho demi month the worse than doni-tnonde of tho Freuch capital. Thn short dresses, all tho latest nnd most extraordinary novelties of street nnd drawing-room costume, were originated by ono or a conclave of tho Pa risian lorcttnt." But all this, according to tho Time, "is pure nonsense. Tho 'French fashions1 havo no such origin, though it is very common for men who know nothing about tho sub ject to soy they have. It would bo as vfcll and as wise to say that the fashions and the novelties in male costume nro invented by blacklegs. Tho fact is that tho 'French fashions,' which tho Americans nnd nil tho world copy after, nro the inventions of pro fessional arthtc in Paris, and especially iu Bcrliu arlitU who, ns such, havo nothing whatever to do with the demi-monde, anil who do not even, as a rule, get their styles adopted thorough that quarter. By far tho greater part of tho novelties in ladies' dress really havo their origin in Berlin with tho skillful, ingenious nnd fertile artktes of tho Bazaar. Tho Parisian governors of Btylo take up somo of these, and by tho facilities which they possess, establish them through out the civilized world. Tho demi-monde doubtless adopt them ns well as tho luvut monde, but it is more to the patronage of tho latter thau tho former that their universal currency is due. Tlic l'ofcilion ol'dicn. 4rnnt. The speech of Congressman Washburnc at Galena, 111., iu which lie defines Grant's po litical status as in entire accord with the Republican party, deserves attention, inas much as Mr. Washburnc is an old personal, intimate friend with Gen. Grant. Mr. Wash burnc states that Gen. Grant was an old Whig. His father, bo well known in Galena, was always nn nctivc nnd influential member of the Whig party, nnd after it went out of existence, of the Republican party. Tho General was always a Whig, so far as be was a politician at all, and never belonged to or had any sympathy with tho Democratic party. Gen. Grant was openly and strongly for both Constitutional amendments, and hailed the reconstruction net of the Thirty-ninth Coucrcss ns a solution of our difficulties. uud be entered upon the disebnrgc of his duties under thnt net with zeal, vigilauco and fidelity. Sympathizing with Congress in its action, nnu appreciating the import ance of its being in session, he urged aud advised such action as would secure nn extra session, if necessary. When that session came he expressed the most serious fears of the effect of a long adjournment, and, with a far reaching sagacity, anticipating the pre cise state of things that has occurred, be U3cd all bis influence with Senators to have them adopt tho House provision of tho amended bill, requiring tlio assent of the Senntc to a rcmovul of tbo District Com manders. Favoring the reconstruction acts, no effort of bis has been wanting to sccuro their enforcement in letter and spirit, to the end that the Union might be speedily and fully restored. llarrislurg 2'ileyrapk.

Tho following mode of putting up cab bages for winter and spring use is endorsed ns a good ono by thoso who have tried it : "Cabbages aro preserved very simply; they aro left out as lato ns they can bo pulled up by the roots, in this section, about tho end of November; they nre theu pulled up aud turned upsido down, the roots up and tho bends packed closo together, in beds six feet wide, with six feet alleys be tween, euro being taken to have tho ground levelled whero tho cabbages arc placed, ho that they pack nicely. They arc left in this way two or three weeks, or as long ns the ground cau be dug between tho alleys, the soil from which is thrown in on the bctl.i of cabbage, so that, when finished, they havo a covering of four or six inches of soil. This is not enough to cover tho root, how ever, which 'is left partly exposed, but this is iu no way injurious. Some prefer to cov er them up nt once by plowing a furrow, shoveling it out wide enough to rcceivo tlio heads of tho cabbages, and then turning the soil in on the heads, and bo continuing until bods of six or eight feet aro thus formed. This plan is rather nioro expeditious than the former, but it has the disadvantago of compelling them to be covered up at onco by soil, whilo tho other plan delays it two or three weeks later, and it is of tho utmost importance in preserving vegetables that tho operation (particularly tho final covering) bo delayed as late in the season as frost will permit. Generally more arc lost by begin ning too soon thnn delaying too late. Onions, wo find, are best preset ved in a burn or stable loft, iu layers from eight to ten inches deep, covered up with about a foot of hay or straw on the approach of Bcvero frosts.

During our visit to tho East wo were asked to look at some fattening hogs in the sty of Dr. Caleb Plaistridgc, of Lebanon, N. II. They were very fiuo ones, but not as good wo were told ns the doctor usually raises. His system is this : For twenty years past ho has planted one-fourth aero ot sweet corn, and killed three bogs. Tlio bogs bavo a good, large, airy sty, with feeding trough so arranged that they cannot intcrfcro with each other at feeding time, and frco access to a largo, dry yard, through which runs spring of clcur water. When his sweet corn is largo enough to roast, bo commences feeding it, stalk nnd nil, in tlio yard, giving them all the swill they will cat. This ha continues until they rcfuso to cat tbo stalks, alter which tbo balance ot the corn is fed in the car, and tho fattening process finished with coru meal. During tbo whole twenty years bo has failed but twico of killing hogs of over fivo hundred pouuds weight each, and be gives crodit for most of the weight to tho sweet corn. He says properly fed it adds nt least two hundred pouuds to each of his bogs. Until the frost kills it, they will cat tlio sweet corn, stalks and all. Pvntup Jadsonian. Autumn Plowing;. In all heavy clay soils, nnd benvy clay loams, autumn plowing is of great advan tage. Tho winter frost is a muchanicul pul verizer, aud disiutcgratcr of such soils, if wo will but put them in the proper condition to be acted upon. Potash is ono of the clo mouts of such soils, and what gives them one of tho chief values for the small grain. This mineral is found under two conditions ; one fixed, and tbo other free. Tho frco potash is slowly dissolved in water ; it thus unites with sand to burn the coating of thu straw. Chemists call this solution grass, it being composed of the elomeut of gross, silicate of potash. In tho other condition mentioned, it i:j fixed and fti that condition is insoluble in water, and, like tho humus, unfit for tho food of plants. To prepare the fixed potash in tbo soil, that is, to disintregroto it, wc must exposo it to air, moisturo and heat, hence wc must pulverize tho soil by tho winter frost, to admit of these conditions.! l'rairic Farmer.

Carrots and turnips arc not damaged by light freezing, and often grow through the mouth of November in this latitude, and the only risk in leaving them out is iu tho sudden setting in of winter. The earlier potatoes nro put in a dark cellar alter they get their growtu tno better. They should bo stored in small bins where they can be examined easily for the first in dications of rot. Tho tops of turnips, beets, and carrots, make excellent feed for cows, aud if tbo pastures fail they will bo found a welcome addition to their bill ot faro.
