So now. John, what would voa Id it do you any wou a little more husband.' 0! of course not I wish be'ditry, and Mrs. Harloy laughed at the idea. Then tou don.t think enon?h of yourself already ? and nothing would make tou rain I suppose?' . Madge colored, and all the more when she perceived that William Matson had came in quietly, and was now standing behind Janet's chair. This, of course put an end to the conversation. Madge retired to her own home to think of Janet's words, and to confess secretly that they were wise. Hours passed before John Harler returned home. He was a man of good abilities, and well to do ir the world; and having married Madge because he trulv loved her, be bad expected to have a happy home. But partly because he was reserved and sensitive, and partly becau.e Madge feared to make him vain, tbey had erown cold toward each other, so cold that Join legaa to think tbe ale house a more comfortable place than his own fireside. That night tbe rain fell in torrents, the winds howled, and it was not until tbe midnight hour had ar rived that Harley left tbe public house and hastened toward his cot tage. He was wet tbroogn wben oe at length crossed the threshold; he was, as he gruffly muttered, 'used to that;' but be was not 'oscd' to the tone and look with which bis wife drew near to welcome him, nor to find warm clothes by a crackling fire, and clippers on the hearth ; nor to hear no reproach for late hours, and neglect, and dirty footmarks, as he sat in his arm chair. Some change had come to Madge he was very sure. She wore a dress he had bought her years ago, with a neat linen collar round her neck, and had a cap, trimmed with white ribbons on bvr head. 4 You're smart, Madge,' he exclaim ed at last, wben be had stared at her or some little time in silence: ' ho- has been here worth dressing for to night?' No one until you came,' said Madge, half laughing. 'I ? Nonsence ; vou don t dress for me!, cried John. You won't bcleive it, perhaps bu I did. I have been talking to Mrs. Matson this eventne. and she ling to a made a posture, movement as if t draw a weapon but those Etandin by restrained his movements in tbat direction Mr. Phillips standing his gronnd qoietly but making no effort beyond his first blow. Jle then left the apartment hemmed and - she hawed, and she aigbed aad f-be "chawed'' till her heart and jaws were broben ; then she walked by h:s store, while he stood at tbe door awaiting some lov ing token. She raised up her eyea with a mock ; surprise, and tried to as did the other parties shortly there-j enact tbe acorncr; but, to tell tbe after. i . j truth, she irrinned at the vouth who lsiAa-Y f ri n arrioif riAWfin WT 117 VUJCU LVI UVI . is; pipe, aoe. f foot. ..JUi -,r:.

Ah! it mr husband was but like yours, Janet' 'He is like mine in manv of his wavs,' said Janet, with a smile, and if jou will allow me to speak plainly! be would be etui more like bimiiroa . w . took more pains to make bim com fortable.', ... ,Wbat do yoo mean?' cried Madge; 'our house is as clean as yours; I mend my husband's cloibes, and cook his dinner as carefullv asanv woman like for your supper ? 'John,' who was wont to steal to the shelf at night and content himseif with anything be could find, thought Madges offer too excellent to be refus ed, so very soon a large bowl of chocolate was steaming on tbe table. Then his wife sat down, for a wonder, by his side, and talked a little, and listened, aud looked pleased, when at last, as if be could not help it, be said, "Dear old Madge !' That was enough ; her elbow some- Low found its way to the arm of bis great chair, and she was quietly look inz at the fire. After a while John Mr. Bienvenue sought the assistance of two friends, a challenge was passed and accepted. Saturday April 4. nam ed as the date, shut guns and ball as the weapons, forty paces as the dis tance, and Bay St. Louis as the place. - Tbe parties, with their friends, as sembled at eight o'clock A. M. yes terday at tbe depot of the New Orleans Mobile and Texas Railroad, at the foot of Canal street, in time t take the train which was destined to ry them to tbe arena of blood. Y hen tbe party arrived at tbe sta tion tbe seconds proceeded to select and measure tbe ground. They located the spot for tbe conflict at about one hundred yards distance from and on the soutii side of the railroad. The ground was measured, pegs driven and a toss for choice of posi tion and the word was bad, which was won by the second of Mr. Phil lips. This delay occupied about half an hour. During the time the rest of tbe company had broken into groups, and was lounging around as casual spectators The principals appeared to be unexceptionable cob!, calm and collected. Neither evinced the slightest symptom of nervousness or gave any indication (of personal apprehension, although there was no levity of manner but on tbe contrary rather a seriousness of manner in keeping with the terribie tragedy bo near at hand. The weapons, double barrelled shot-guns, were duly load ed with ball by the seconds, and the principals placed in position. Mr DuBertrand then briefly stated the terms of the cartel, which stipulated tbat the combatants should tand with their weapons held tn such a manner that the muzzels sdould be pointed to the ground; that the word snould be:" gentlemen are vou read v'? that silence should be interpreted into consent, wben the words, "fire one, two, three" would be given tbat they could raise tfceir weapons and fire" after the word "fire"' and before the word "three." Mr. Da Bertrand then gave the manner which the word was to be - given, which was done in as rapid a manner a T as the circumstances in ine case would permit, evidcntlv with the hope of the gentleman, if possible, to prevent bloodshed. But, alas, this effort proved futile, as the sequel proved. Real work now began; the question was asked: "Gentlemen are yon ready ". They met alas! what came to pai3 was toft and aweet and precious; they wooed, tbey cooed, he talked, she chewed, O, how tbey loved, good gracious ! They bad to part ; be rose to start ; her grief can not be painted ; these are tbe facts, she swallowed her wax, then screamed, then choked, then fainted. Her pa appeared ; her beau, quite fU'arelL rushed oat lotft 9om u-ntprr , - - n . . - - - , hur-'tbe watch-dog spied his tender hide. and bit him where he "onghter," The tale is sad, the sequel stern so thinks the youth thus bitten. He sings no more, as oft of yore he gave that girl the mitten. - She pined apace, her pretty face looked t-render and dejectd ; hr father kind, but somewhat blind, be neld tier and reflected. His income tax he spent for wax she smiled and called bim clever. She went to work, forgot that clerk, and chawed in bliss forever !-J. Bateman Smith. Boye Hern.. portation U so coatly that they cannot-afford to market their produc tions, and that jrraia is burned for i fuel because it can be nut to no other . i . -. , use, mat 11 seems almost like investi gating a historical fiction to look into the farts. Bat here are some facts. Lct us see how Iowa stands. She produces annually from one biadred and twenty-five million to one hun dred and fifty million bushels cf corn. the C rop Jijorier professes to have reports up to the l.th of March from forty-three out of about one hundred counties of that State. Front these returns we leara that the average price of corn throughout the State was 50.7 cents ; oa the day of these reports corn sold in Chicago for 1 to 63 cents, and in New York at 86 to 00 cents. It would therefore appear that at tbat time it did not cost two bushels of corn to send one bushel to market, as has been complained, bat tbat it cost only four-fifths of one bushel. And the aggregate cost of transportation, of handling and stdr- icg, including aiso tne eommiaaion and profits of all intermediate agents between the farraers and the whole sale dealers ia New York, was but about one and one-half rents a ton for each mile between the farm and tbe market ' "Similar facts appear in the report from Kansas.

Phillips, an attorney-at-law in New Orleans, shot and instantly killed Mr. Aristides Bienvenu, also of this city in a duel. About two weeks ago there was in progress of trial before Judge Collum of the fifth District Court the ease of Madam Olympe the Canal street mo'lifte vs. Aristides Bienrena wherein plaintiff claimed a sum of uoney for millinery and dress-making account contracted bv Mrs. Bienvenu. Mr. A B. 'Pbiilips was plaintiff's counsel. At the trial w ere present Mr. and Airs. Bienvenu, and upon its the latter proceeded to the s office, where Mr. Phillips, di- not j rectly following, he was straightway fire, and almost 'simuTtane.insiy, but perceptibly afterward, Mr. Bienvenu s gun was discharged.' and he fell dead shot through the brain. Tbe word two was not given, as both parties had discharged their weapons, and one lav a bleeding, lifeless corpse, the other standing at his pot nntil permitted to retire. Both Doctors Scott aad naard hurried to the fallen victim of the bloody code, but all their skill was of no avail, as could readily be seen. The ball entered the riirbt cheek of the dead man, crushing the jawbone ranging downward into the spinal column. Death must have Wen in stantaneous. The unfortunate man bled with "unusual profusion. His brother, who was present, appeared to be greatly affected and burst into tears. The seconds of Mr. Thillips asked and obtained permission to re tire their friend from the " field, and alter the usual civilities and expres sions of regret at the fatal termina tion ef the affair, accompanied him to neighboring residence, where be remained until the return train for the city should arrive. At 1:40 P.

The trouble with laws of this kind was that the great body of the citiiens faile to sustain them by their influence and votes. Policemen and Police Magistrates were nnable to do everything. As U liquor itseif, he did not consider it at a,l times and un der all circumstances injurious. A healthy man had no need of it, and was better off witheut it, but all men were not healthy. . Then there were peo ple engaged ia the. temperance refor mation who were pusing it too far, who were repelling more by their bigotry and intolerance thaa they conquered by their arguments and prayers. People vko iasisted that under no possible circumstances, or combination of circumstances, a thim bleful of brandy was of use to the dis ordered ' system might mean well, but they were on the wrong track. Tbe idea, on which the great tem perance reformation began thirty years ago, that all liquor was of itseif poison, had been undetermined by science. But there were those who went even further than this, aad pro nounced stimulants to be bad. A man who endeavored to carry out their precepts would be ia danger of starvation. The fact was that stimu lants ia certain eases and ia moder ate quantities where unquestionably, of benefit to the physical health. It was all very well u talk about the reaction and say that that was inva riably equal to the exaltation, but it was untrue.

This season I determin ed to get closer to the root of the matter an J test their valne fa"y. I had a plot of ground on which I had beea unsuccessful for several years in raising good Early Pose Potatoes. Tbe soil was in the best condition al ways. Tbe tops did well. This spring I had the groundscored about six inches deep, placed tbe cut pota toes in the bottom, and filled op with coal ashes. Tbe plants grew finely, n withstanding tbe dry weather. The tops, did not fall over even a fie a tbe weather changed, and I secured a crop of the very best potatoes fr the table I ever raised. The second experiment was with onion seed and coal ashes. I put out five good-sized bedsin seed. Ia fuur the seed was covered with soil ; the fifth I covered with sifted coal ashes. The resuh surprised everr persoa that knew of the expereiment and watched its progress. A third experiment was started on eed which promised otter failure to those who looked on. The end has not yet beea reached, but I am more than satisfied with the result thus far, and fully satisfied tbat my experi ment will briny me st least $100 more thaa if left untried.

This is a move in the right direction. And we hope tbat all the other States may speedily follow the good example set by Massachusetts. It is annoying to the breeder of blooded and fine fowls to find when he offers for sale eggs nearly twice as large as his neigh bors th at they tiring no more per doz en than do the smaller ones. Also the consumer is eften vexed to find that he must pay the same price to-day for a dozen of eggs weigh ing but a ponnd tbat he yesterday paid for a dozen weighing a pound and a half. Beside.t, an egg firm a well f I a Us .heavier and richer thaa an egg from a common fowl that is only hoif fed, so weight com pared to size is a combination of rich ness. Thus, eggs of which eight wilt weigh a pound ara better and richer than those of comparatively the same size of which tea are requir ed for a pound. Of course, with eggs at three or four ?enls a dozen and the writer of this has seen hundred. of dozens sold at these figures it is not much matter as to the size; but w hen the prices range from twentv- nve to sixty cents per dozen it is we'l worth looking after. It Is high time that this old style of selling and buying poultry and eggs by the piece should be discontinued. It is a relic of the past and reminds as of the time when dressed hogs sold for $1 each without regard to size or condition and were a dull sale at that Insist upva it then yon who raise poultry for tbe inaiket; insist upon it then you who have to bay eggs for consumption: insist upon it, all ye rich and poor high and low, that eggs be sold fur so much a pound.
