Anacreon, in one of his e.Tqtiisit odes, gives th carrier-dove more . gentle luissiou than carrying bulletins ol war ; and if we arc to believe the poets and romancers of tl.c Middle Ages, it was the most trusted mp.aenger between parted lovers. Wealthy Homans car ried pigeons iu baskets to the Amphi theatre, for the purpose of sending home the names of guest3 whom they invited at that place of amusement, or to order a change in the dinner.

The printer was not long iu getting work at his trade ; but as there were two to be, supported, the ten pounds rapitUy melted aw ay, and Franklin saw no prospect even of his being able to get back to Philadelphia, at all still less of appearing there us a master printer. I n these circtistanct s he should have written to Miss, Head a plain state- ried life was the death of their first child a most beautiful and intelligent boy, four years of age. So engaging his parents, that Franklin declared, thirty-six years after, he could never think of him even without a sigh.

On a fine Sunday morning in Oeto. ber, 12:j Dcborali Head, a bouutiful and lilou;iug las of t ighteen, stood at the d or of her father's house in Market Street Philadelphia. The city w as forty-three years of age, and it contained a population of seven thousand. .Many trees of the original forest still stood upon its site; the bouses were built at some dis tance apart, with gardens between them, as vet the .streets were unpaved. It is a largo tranquil (Quaker village, surrounded by the primeval wilder ness, with groups of Indians frequent ly to be seen in the streets, anil such game as wolves, bears, wild turkey and deer to be shot within four miles of the town. As the voiuij a,y stood at the (JooroT liv'r home it w as :il.out church time in the morning tie saw in a crowd of church-going people a strange figuro that both amus ed and surprised her. It was a stont lad of seventeen, not ill-looking, but dressed in the very extreme of f-hali-biness. He wore the workingclothes of an ordinary apprentice, ami the.-e by exposure to the rain and wear and tear of travel, bad ltccome dirty and dilapidated. Tho pot-let mf Lid coat Wcro attiflcd out with shirts and stock iug, am) under each arm bo bad a large roll while- eating a third. She gazed ut him as long as she could see him wondering ami laughing at his ridiculous appearance. If she had any thoughts upon the subject, she proba ably set him dow n as a runaway ap prentice, for such indeed bo waj, one P.ciijamin Franklin, who had made his way from Kostou by sloop, by barge aud on foot, to pscapu the tyr any of bis brother, to w hom he had lieen apprenticed. A few days passed. Miss Keed learned from her father that a young man was coming to board with them, a printer who worked in one of the two printing houses of the town What was her surprise when, the young man arrived, niculy tjrpsed w ith clean linen, and very neat in. bis person, to recognize the forlorn and shabby youth who bad caught her eye on that Sunday morning. His chest bad arrived bv sea, and thus he was able to present himself at bis new alsido in a becoming costume. The young man proved highly agreeable to the family. He was full of intelli gence, amiability, ami good humor one of these young fellows who make friends wherever they go, because they are themselves ohligrint? ami friendly. A year glided capidly by, during w hich time the father of tbe young lady died, and was buried in Christ Church buryingground, Philadelphia, where his gravestone may be still seen and read, his wife a vigorous aud prudent woman, carried on the house as usual, so that it still furnished a home for the young printer. His for tunes had brightened duringthuycar. TboOovernorof the province, who had accident!' become, acquainted with Lis talents, proposed to set him up in business as a printer, and was going to send him to London to buy types, a printing press, am! whatever is nec essary for the business of a printer. With this prospect before him, the young man w as emboldened to speak, to Mrs. Head on a momentous subject. He had fallen in love with her beauti ful daughter. Ho told ber this migh ty tecreti and of his intended voyage to London, and lht Governor's troject to establish him In business, 'iuallyhe asked ber daughter's band in marriage. Mrs. Head was far from disapprov ing the match, but, like a prudent mother as rhe was, she called the yoong man's attention to the fact that ueither be nor her daughter were yet nineteen, and that it would be most unwise for them to marry just as be was going on a long voyage, and about to engage in a new business which might not provo profitable. How much better to wait till bo was safe home again, and the business was well established. There wa8 no Stroiiij rramiiu mimnreii fur iTwotmo- sent her a hiro-i' hinUirii Loi im I the report, that Deborah Head, who) "I fell in love with it," he told "at;eYPer-v a,,vanta?c w,11, l w'al,h ,lfl bad l: ved unhappy with him, returned i first sight, for I thought that it look-! ff"wl c,mhl procure. to her mother aud resumed her maid-led like a fat jollv dame, clean and ti-j , n ?ear awa ? ,th.e - - I . .

The moth er however, insisted that it was she who was most in fault, because she had urged on the uuhappy marriage, even against her daughter's in,tliiia-. tion. She still consulted; Franklin about her affairs, ant) they were all excellent friends. -nd so passed three or four years, during which Franklin through his own industry and good conduct, be came a master printer and proprietor of a newspajwr, with the prositect of founding an extensive business. Needing capital, he tried to increase his store by marriage, ami wh.cn, the scheme failed, be turned bri. thoughts fin his fir-it love, poor Deborah Head. Her runaway potter was probably tlead, but he might not be ; and she seemed forever cut off from marriage by the fact that her second husband would lie responsible for the debts of her first. Such w as the law of the period. Franklin, pitying her forlorn condi tion, always reproaching himself as the cause of her woe, and not less fond of ber than before, at last pro posed that they should risV a mar riage. Nor was the match so une-i qualas it seemed, for, bachelor as he was, be bad a son a few months old on his hands, which was set off against the chances of lingers return ing. In 1730, seven years after Miss Read had saw Franklin walking up Market street eating his roll they were married. Rogers as it turned out, was really dead ; nor did any of his creditors apply to r ranklin for payment. The child was taken h.om.91 and reared as though it Lad been burn to thpiftiu wedlock. He was well edu cated ami afterwards beanie govener of Xew Jersey. The niarrige was eminetly succssful iu every respect. One of Franklin.s maxims in Poor Ricbard.s Almanac was this: "A man must ask his wife to thrive." Xotl.ing more true. In viyn. shall a young man, without much capita!, toil and deny himiolf, If ho has a wife who squanders his gains, and takes no in terest in his career. Mrs. Fraklin was one or the most industrious, careful and friendly of women. Besides at tending her husbands little shop she bought rags, pamphlets, folded news papers, tenderly nurtured his child, and kept her husband from being ex travagant. He was by no means of an economical disnsition. Ho was gem-rot to tt fault, and I am sure wa much indebted to his wife for the rapidity with which he made his for. tune. In tho early yeara of their rufrried life he could sometimes boast and lie ditl boast of it that he was clothed from head to foot with gar ments that bis wife bad woven and then made. It seems, however, that she was not averse to a reasonable degree of comfort and display. Franklin nar rates that for a long time after their marriage he had nothing for break fast but bread and milk, and that he used to eat it out of a two pfinny earthen Ikiw! with a pewter spoon. "lint, ho continued, "mark how luxury will enter families, and make progress in spite of principles. Beiug called one morning to breakfast, I found it in a china bowl with a spoon of silver. They had been bought for1 years, during which time no tidings had arrived from him, the first hus band returned as suddenly ns ho hail departed. He had changed bis ship, adopted another name and spent the whole of that period on the ore in, with only trausient visits on shore, whilctakingand discbargeing cargoes having been oaroful never to come nearer home than Xew Orleais.

Governor Franklin, entreated her to take refnge in his own house nt Burlington, and ail friends urged her to go. For nine days; she says, people kept persuading her to leave her house. At length she let her daugh ter go to Burlington ; but for herself she w ould not budge. " I am sure," said she-, "that my husband has dwo nothing to hurt anybody, hor have I given offence to any person at all, nor will I )c made uneasy by anybody. I will not stir, nor show tho least uneasiness.

He raved like a madman and cousin below with guns, And amunition, ami mounting artl up stairs herself, pejiared to defend her abode. Tho storm blew over, ami ved"y soon the truth respecting her husband's conduct was known. For forty-four years Benjamin Franklin and Deborrh Read were united in marriage. She lived to see her husband the mosthonored of Americans on Imth con tinents, and she lived also to see her daughter suitably married to a mer chant of Philadelphia, Richard Bache, Her last years were greatly cheered by her lieantiful grandchildren Slo ba) tho happiness of escaping small, ill-furnished apartment, which mv sister and myself shared with my mother. She used to carry out every Saturday evening the work which had occupied her during the week, ami bring back employment for the following one. Saving this weari some visit to her employers, ant! her regular attendance at church, she never left the house. She often spoke of mv father.and of his anticipated re turn, but at length she ceased to men tion him, though I observed she used to weep more frequently than ever. 1 then thou-rht she went because we an ugly sort or sparrow, sired by squalor, and tumbling down to sleep anywhere where a convenient ash barrel may present itself. The sup position is prespostcrous. There is no doubt of that for who except a hunchback could sleep in an ash barrel, or an intoxicated person, whose joints would bend in any way, to suit emergencies. But here is the fxma fidf settlement at the foot of Courtist, where for some years they have oquatted like so many toads.

"You are not mv father !"' exclaim- when informed of his wile's second marrige and subsequent death, vow ing vengence upon his successor, and terrifying his daughters by tho most awful threats in case thev refused to acknowledge his claims. He hail re turned wealthy, and one of the mean reptils of the law, who are always to be found crawling about the halls of justice, advised him to bring a suit against the second husband, assuring him that bo could recover damages. The absurdity of institninga claim for a wife- whom death had released from the jurisdiction of earthly laws, was so manifest, that it was at length agreed by all parties to leave the matter to as a man s w aist, and one wonders where all the men and women it they may be so called can be housed therein, when due attention has been paid to the social require ments of all the goats, dogs, hens, cats, and pigs, which have evidently as much scne of proprietorship of the interior of the houses as they have of the exterior. If the street were a little higher, the settlement might be said, like Claude Melnotte's villa, to be in a deep .vale, shut out from the rude world ; but really the street is only high enough to permit of youngsters rolling off of it into muddy bottom without sinking so deep in the mire as to be lost forever.

Indeed, she hat! been for ten yeara.lon.ging and pining for his re turn : but the pressing business of the colonics still detained him, and she died at last when he was makjag preparations for bis homeward voy age. Her body was borne to the grave by some of Franklin's oldest friends, men who had known them when forty-four years before, they had begun housekeeping, and ate their breakfast of bread and milk, There were scarcely any women at that period who were what wo now call educated, and tho letters of Mrs. Franklin show that she was not gift ed in tho uso of tbe pen. Hut she was a faithful and affec tionato wife, a friend and helpmeet to her husband, who was enabled to do the public service because ho had at home a wifo competent and willing to take charge of his affairs in his absence. Iu my experience the In-st results can lie obtained, hy applying the mnn r on, tic surftico of tho meadow as soon as possible after the grass has been cut. If it is cloudy or rainy weather at the time, or soon after wards, so much the liettcr, as the liq uid from the manure will then be carried into the soil, to bo taken up by the roots of tbe grass at the time when they need the stimulus the most, as they receive a severe shock by be ing laid bare to the action of the sun's rays at a season of the year when the weather is usually the driest. I have noticed that if grusa is not cut close to tb,e ground, it will start much sooner. I am inclined to think that the reason for this is that there is not so much root left exposed. If the manure is applied at the time stated, in a short time it will be covered by a heavy aftermath, furnishing a protection from the heat of autumn, as well as from the frosts of fall and j spring. Country Gentleman. I It was on a bright and beautiful afternoon in spring, when we met to hear this singular case. The sunlight streamed through the dusty window s of the court-room, and shed a halo around the long gray locks and broad forehead of the defendant while the plaintiff's harsh features were throw n into still Isdder relief by the same brain which softened the placid coun tenance of bis adversary. The plaintiff's lawyer made a most eloquent appeal for his client, and had we not been informed about the mat ter, our hearts would have Wen melt ed by the touching description of tbe return of the desolate husband, and the agony with which lu; now beheld his household goods removed to con secrate a strauger's hearth. The celebrated Aron Burr was counsel for tbe defendant, and we an ticipated from bim a splendid display of eloquence. Contrary to our expec tations, however, he made no attempt to confute bis opponents oratory. He merely opened a book of statues, and pointing with his thin finger to one of the pages, desired the referees to read it while he retired a moment for the principal tritnean. We had scarcely finished this sec tion, which fully decided the matter in our minds, when Burr re-entered with a tall and elegant female leaning on his arm. She was attired in a simple white dress, with a wreath" of ivy encircling her large straw bonnet and a lace veil completely concealing her countenance. Burr whispered a few words, apparently encouraging her to advance, and then gracefully raising her veil, discovered to us a face of proud, surpassing beauty. I recollect as well as if it had happened yesterday, how simultaneous the mur mur of applause burst from the lips of all present Turning to the plain tiff, Mr. Burr asked, in a cold, quiet way : "Do you knew this lady ?" "I do." . "Will you swear to that ?" "I will. To the best of my knowl edge and belief she is my daughter." "Can you swear to the identity ?" "I can." layer of ashes plainly due to vol canic action mingled with a schistose conglomerate of old bats, coffee pots tin pans, and cans which once con tained preserved vegetables to what portion of the literary period can these be due. the eveene, miocane, or THri ia t inon ndin pnocene : i nen mere are oones- affection and shares mv!which ,na bave belonged to horses or even mastouon ana taiirs, swept down from the city in ancieut times glaziers (for tbey are not unmingled with glass), or brought down by aqueous action, or some Carthusian catastrophe.

"There is the man who watched over my infancy who was the sharer of my childish sports, and the guardian of my inexperienc ed youth, claims mv home; there is my father. As for yonder selfish wretch, I know him not. Tbe best years of his life have been spent in law less freedom from her social ties ; let bim seek elsewhere for the companions of bis decrepitude, nor dare insult the ashes of my moth er by claiming the duties of kindred from her deserted children."'

I need not' say that our decision was in favor of the defendant, and the plaintiff went forth followed by the contempt ot every honorable person who was present at the trial. Currier Plgruaa. Before the invention of the electric telegraph enabled man to outrival the boast of Shakspeare's Puck that he would "put a girdle round about the earth in forty minutes," the carrier pigeon afforded the most rapid means of conveying intelligence between places far remote from each other In ages the memory of which is dim ly preserved in vague legends and traditions these graceful couriers of the air were employed to carry mes sages of love anil war. It is surmised by some writers that the 'dovc" let loose from the Ark, w hich returned at even tide with an olive branch in its beak, was a carrier-pigeon ; but not to go back so far, we have authen tic instances of their employment by the ancient Egyptians. According to Wilkinson's work on the manners and customs of that people, on one occasions when an Egyptian king assumed the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt; a prince let fly four pigeons, and commanded them to announce to the South, north, west and east that Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris, has put on the splendid crown of the Upper and Lower country; that the king Hamises III. has put on the two crowns." Sever al instances of their use as messengers occur in classical history. At the memorable siege of Mutba. Hirtius and Brutus held constant communi cation by this means, whilo Anthony, through whose beleaguering host no couriers could make his way, beheld with rage and chagrin tbe passage fonier, used to all sorts of nncleanli- ness, fastens on the raiment of the bearded Dutchman as upon a familiar thing ; but the rows fight themselves out, and the police are seldom called upon to interfere. It is a clumsy sort of eommunism which is here dis played ; equal in rights are humanity and the beast. The boy chases the sturdy pig, and drives him away liter an army with banners ; but while that boy stands a boasting victor, behind him cometh the capering goat, and butteth him with serious glee, until he flees away howling into the wil derness. Upon the roof the cat sits calmly, as is her wont; below the swine roots in the mire, even at this eariy season, and the hens talk in their absurd way to each other as they look at the hog, and endeavor, in their feeble way, to discover why it is the tail of the' unclean beast doth wriggle and be slapped from side to side when there are no flies to be driven away. Every once in a while Brooklin says that it is going to clean out this place, and drive the squatters into the sea or up to the neighlxirhood of our own Central Park. It is said that it has some notion of doing so this year, but, for a-sthetic reasons, if not for sanitary ones, it is to be hoped that nothing will be done in the matter, for Sandy Bank is one of the few pic turesque places over the river. Kate Stanton, in her lecture on "The Lives of Great Men," asserts that tbe planets revolve around the sun by tbe influence of love, like a child revolves about its parent When the writer was a boy he used to re volve around his parents a good deal. Kate is no doubt correct, and he must have been incited thereto by love, but to unprejudiec observers it looked powerfully like a trunk strap. A bachelor editor who had a pretty un married sister, lately wrote to anoth er similarly circumstanced, "Fleas exchange." 4 1 i t i v 'A ,t S:
