Ood keop yo every here! rUBiKorr axd iiis wire TLe Princess Opbelia lVrikoffwas wUt is familiarly termed a lively party, bot one whose emilea were on ly won through greet allurement and royal aspirants. She was an Italian by birtb, ond when about twenty rears of age had fallen ia love with Prince Patrakoff, a Russian, and married bim. That PatrakoiT adored v,;a . ire. r8 well known, and a band- r.air wnnld hare been difficult o v i v to find. A short time after their marriage the Priucees Ophelia expressed the wish to go to Paris, aDd a few weeks subsequently they found themselves installed in a cbarruinsr hotel in the Faubourg Saint H onore. The Prin opks had expressed the wish to buy the Palace of the Corps Legielatiff; but, serious objections being urged, dip had Wn induced to accept the hotel in question. Thcw had been some months in the gay capital, when one evening, w hile drinking their coffee after din ner, the Prince, on consulting his watch, accidently and unknown to himself, let fall a piece of paper. The Princess, who watched her beloved Russian unceasingly, instantly per ceived the scrap of paper and became possessed with a feeling of suddenly inspired jealousy. "I am obliged to leave you this evening, my darling," said PalrakotT: "as an affair of much importance compel my presence at the Club." "Most you really go ? " responded bis listener. "Would I tio so otherwise, my dearest Ophelia ? " With these words and a parting caress, the Prince took his departure. Hardly had he closed the door, when Madame Patrakoff seized the paper. It was a dainty little perfumed note, containing only these words : "M v Dabmxo l-i.n Rune : 1 will expect y.m i rail l.r mi- tins eveiinitf at the theater. A'UlU, wi-ll-bcluveJ wreu'0, aiM rem.-uilicr your I CBKAk'KL The epistle was sufficiently brief ; bat the Princess read and re-read the the words, then crushing the paper in her small hand, she paused for thought. Suddenly a new light gleamed ia her handsome eyes, and a smile cf malicious pleasure curled ber lips, and, rising, she rang the bell 6harpiy. Giovanne, the valet de chambre of the Prioce, responded. "(iiov," eaid the lady, ia a mild, pontic voice, " at which theater does Mademoiselle Fernande play ? " Giovanne was astounded by the question, and endeavored to prepare an evasive answer. Observing his expression of face, and comprehend in? his intention, Madame Patrakoff frowned, and the servant deemed it more prudent to reply truthfully. "Very well," resumed his mistress. "Sow, order the carriage instantly, and bid Lucia hold herself ia readi ness, as she will accompany me, as well as yourself.' While speaking, Madame Patrakoff opened her ward robe and took from it several Jewel cases and placed them ia her pocket. Ten minutes after her conversation with Giovanne, Madame Patrakoff entered her carriage. "Drive to the stage entrance of the Ambique Theater," said the Princess pecuy but rceolutely; ana env iast," she added. The stage entrance was by no means the principal entrance of the theater in question. It openeu upon a narrow; dark, and extremely mud' dy street. A narrow door led to the stage. On seeing this door the Prin cess bit ber lips with vexation; then, smiling like a woman who has resolv ed upon a course of action, she raised ber skirts in both hands and catered the dirty, uninviting street, followed by Giovanne end Lucia. "Where are ycu going? " inquired a rough voice. "I say, where are you going? " Oa hearing the soucd, Madame Patrakoff turned and perceived a grim-visaged woman, with ferret like eyes, who held the post of cierjc, and could not resist smiling. "Giov," she said, "speak to the good woman, and reassure her mind." "My friend," said the valet, "what does it matter if you are cared for? " The woman was about to reply, bat Giovanne, having Grst searched in his pocket, gavo br an affection ate shake of the hand end instantly calmed her fear. As to the Princess, she hurried oa. The further Mad ame Patrikoff peaotratcd into the in terior the .stronger becarue the emell of the slage, and the murmur of founds reached her. At length the last door was reached, and be found herself face to face, ia fact almost ia the arms of a maa dressed all in chocolate color, covered with feathers, a riog ia his nose, and streaming wiih perspiration. The Princes sttered a little cry, and then, seising her glass, she surveyed tbe individual. ' Your servant," said the savage. "My good man," replied tha Prin cess, without lowering he giass, "I would like to speak to your manager.', "There is no harm ia that," re sponded her listener, as he gavo vent to a wild yell. "Wbore'caa I End Lira?" "He in before you." "Are you the director of tfe thea ter? " inquired the Princess, sur prised. "I am. madarue, w hat can I do for you ? " "I wish to speak to you in private," said Madame Patrakoff. Her listener bowed and led the wcy to the manager's priva'.e room. Ilia companion seated Lerse'f, and then resnmed her conversation. "My dear sir, I twlieve you are p'aving a fairy spectacle ? " "We are," responded the manager, "and this ia the cightx-eighih perform ance, oad, as far as "I know " "Yes, but as to that I do not care. What I wish is simply to take part ia tbe spectacle." "What?" exclaimed th manager. "You want aa engagement? But know " "I do not speak of an engagement I simply ear I wish to figure ia the piece. It ia a mere caprice that 1 bare chanced to take, and I wish to go oa to-night" "It is absolutely impossible, ciad ame," eaid the manager, rising. Te seated," replied Madame Pat rakoff. "I eupposed there would be diffi culties to encounter, and came pre pared for objections. I am willing to pay tbe costs of carrying out my whim. How much do you charge, monsieur four, five, six thousand fn.a Toll mn the Ezuro and be quick, because it is cow late. X.y femme de chambre ia in tbe carriage, waitiug to dresa me." "Good heavens, madame !" ex claimed her listener. What you Bk is impossible.' "Let us sav eight thousand francs. " Wh it ia the hour ? " inquired the director, looking at the clock upon the chimney. "There is time ; it is now only half past eight o'clock, and Lncia is a very fairy. You w ill place at my disposal this little room. Have two more lamps brought, and send me one or more of yonr dresses.'" Yon understand, I suppose, ma dame, that vour costume must corre spond with that of the other fairies? " said the manager much perplexed. "Certainly. Po you for a moment imagine that I propose to array my self in the garb of a National Guard to appear in the spectacle of Le Roy des Caraibes.' I will, of course, conform to the demands of the occa sion. What have you in the way of costumes ? " "If you desire to do so, ycu can appear in the procession of water nvmphs in the last act." ""Very well." "It is a very light costume ; ia fact, auite liirht." "Oh! never mind.. I accept the nymph. Please let my femme d chamhre summoned." "You must have a pair of tights,' said the manager, rinsncg a bell vio lently. A little old man, of odd op pearanee, answered the call, and look ed curiously at tbe laay. "Achille," inquired the manager, "have you a pair of tights in the wardrobe that would fit madame ? " Tbe old man lowered bis glasses in order to study the question. "Surely you are jesting," saia tne Princess. "Po you suppose for a in stant that I am going to wear what has been worn by one of your girls ? " "But you know, madame, that a nymph must wear tights." ""Very well, go and purchase a pair. My carriage waits without and my valet, Gior, will accomqany you." The little old costumer pulled down his sleeves, and, in another instant was off like a flash. Some moments after, Madame Pat rakoff was se&ted before the glass, at tended by her maid and two hair dressers. " The Italian no longer ap peared melancholy, but seemed deep ly interested ia all that was taking place. "Look!" she suddenly exclaimed ; "vou have put too much black under mv eves. I look cxactlv as if I had used my inkstand for aa eyeglass." "Madame is mistaken," responded one of the women. "There is no more than is necessary to produce the proper effect before tbe footlights." The manager at this instant enter ed the room with two costumers.who carried clouds of gauze and and flow ers. About ten o'clock the little old man returned. He was dripping with perspiration, and carried a nun die. On seeing him the Princess ut tered an exclamation of joy. "Let everv one leave tbe room but Lucia," said Madame Patrakoff, breaking the string that tied the bun dle, and, for a brief space, silence reigned in tbe little apartment. "I think they do verv well," ob served the Princess, surveying her silk-incased limbs with an air of sat islaction. "What do you sav. Lu cia?" she added, holding her leg out before tha mirror to jadgo better the effect. "Beautiful, indeed, madame," re plied the femme de chambre. "I think the maillots are a trifle tight ; but I guess it is all right." "They should be very tight, madame." "Certainly. Xow for the oher leg. How red my arms look ! Tell me truly, Lucia, is there not too much black under my eyes?" "Oh! no, madame," rospoafied Lu cia, "you look perfectly lovely." Ten o'clock struck before tbe other was incased as the first. The diffi culty cith maillots is that, like gloves, they vary ia size, and a band that is intended for cumber seven gloves cannot be forced into camber six, and the stitches will yield to pressure if tbe kid resist Thu3 it was wSi. the tights in question. Tbey were in-1 tended for smaller proportions than were displayed by the Prince. Pat rakoff. The costumers were sum moned; they pulled and jerked. Lu cia bit her lip in ill-concealed merri ment. There are some natures that rise superior to difficulties. Of such a type wa3 la belle Princess. "Ladks," sho at length exclaimed with wondertul decision, "we will make one more effort."' "Be careful, madame, for f bey will split," urged Lucia. "Nevertheless we must try," mur mured the PriceeES, onxicusly. She was pale beneath Her rouge, and her small hands trembled vio lently. With one mighty and des perate effort, Madame Patrakoff tri umphed, and so great was her satis faction that, bad she not feared to be sacrilegious, she would have fervent ly thanked heaven for the result. The rest of the toilet was completed in a few instants. The diamonds and gar lands had just been arranged, when a voice was heard to call, "All on to teirin." The Princess ta&l cc? Ia3t lingering look at the mirror, aatl ttea told Lucia to open tho door and in form Giov, who remained without, that ewe was ready. She knew that she looked Lsautiful. Xevcr, per haps, had she append so truly love ly; but she experienced a keling of decided embarrassment, and found great diJSculty in walking. She seemed as though held ia a vise ; but the Princess was not a woman to be daunted by a sensation of tlccomfort, and she instantly took ber place among the nymphs, followed by her vs.! el, Giov, and in response to the cali of tbe orchestra all entered upon the sceae. The audieace vts at first unpre pared to see a nymph appcor attended by ber valet, and oesitatcd aa instant whether to approve or hiss ; bui fb was so perfectly beautiful, and gazed so fearless at all. that a tempest of applause was accorded, and while surprised and perplexed for the love'y nymph was instantly recog nized to be a lady the audience, nevertheless, eD4;oyed the novel sight. Patrakoff, who occupied tbe stage box, was one of the rtry Crat to ob serve the remarkable beauty the j new attraction, and, raising his 1 glasees, he uttered an exclamation of astonishment. Ia tbe nymph he ree- ognued tbe 1 :ocess Patrakoff, big ' wife, and he ul- not long remain ia a state of doubt for the nymph halted just before the box and gave him a glaace that was not ociy rocogaitjoa, but spoke volumes. The Prince waited for no more. but rushed from the edge and huniod to the door leading to tbe stage, and as be appeared behind tbo scenes the Priaeccs was joEt leaving tbo stage. "Forgive me, Ophelia," be wnis pered, "forgive me and come." "Am I more beautiful than your Fernande ? Speak, speak instantly, or I wi'J go and seat myself on the prompter s box." "Yes, yes," cxciaimea i airamu, wildly ; "you are a thousand times more beautiful." "Am 1, truly?" "Yoa are, indeed, my queen, my darling. I love you beyond all things on earth. Only come, come." "Yoa are hurried ?" "Yes, for I have so much to tell you." "H I go at once, win yoa promise to obey me ?" "In everything." Fifteen days after this singular and somewhat adventurous undertaking, a dark gondola of carved wood, adorned with crimson curtains, was Eecn oa the bay of Xaples. The sun was setting, and the golden and purple rays enriched the fleecy clouds that float oa and on into the dim dis tance. A man and woman were seated in tbe interior of the gondola, and as the bark floated oa silently a small jeweled baud caressed the rippling waves, and a pair of lustrous eyes were raised to the bright gleries shed by the dying day. "Patrakoff," said a sweet voice, "I think since your deception that I am more in love with yoa than ever." "Surely you are jesting, my sweet Ophelia." "No : but remember, yea have promised to be faithful for the future." "Yes, mv darling," replied the Prince. "What man would refuse "But vou have promised to keep it." "Yes, I have promised." "For onco powder and paint won more than nature." ' True; I never knew how beauti ful you were." "Until others told you," respond ed the Princess applauding. By ntl By." Somewhere down the stream of Time on which we are floating, is a beautiful island called the "By and By." It may be just before us, be yond the next turn of the river, or "we way not find it until the stream disembogues into the htrcam of eter nity. Bat we all look for it from in fancy to old age, and dream that all evil will be banished when we arrive ot that beautiful idland By and By. All day we float down the turbu lent stream ; the blue color of heaven burns above us: tho mysteries cf God and immortality stream upon us with awful splendors and truths that have confounded the loftiest in tellectstruths that in all ages have roused uo the soul fiom its fouada- tion, baptizad it with reverence, kin dled it with love environ it with intensity, and all the thoughts of the island are banished from the mind. But when the solemn gray of twi light falls around our bark, ia fancy we see our magical shores, green with tho trees of beauty, flitting be fore us like stars over the broad shad ows of years, and our longings all re turn to wander on its fairy banks, and listen to the silver voices of its inhabitants. And as tbe rosy tints of day fade in the west, and tho watching stars open one after anoth er, their holy eyes, we go to rest ia the happy belief that the morning sunrise will gild ibis immortal islaod, full ia our vision this clime we have sought so long and vainly, and whith er have fjed all tbe summer of our youth, that we besought tvith tears to slay. A land of promise is (hat By and By. In it we all have possession, the anticipated enjoyment of which alone renders life toleroble. The past has proven a weary way ; the "resent full of danger, but ia tbe golden By and By there is recom pense for ali. There the broken heart shall bo healed and jte weary spirit End rest. Who aball sell his birthright in this land ? Though poverty, gloom and desolation environ ns here, we have wealth and loving friends ia that fair clime. j How eagerly we look for that ia-; land ! If it were laid dowo ca oy : churl, no matter how distant, bo ttiftt we knew that it would surely come, we should be satisfied ia tbe pros pect.

The evening had been passed ia social games and cccasional dances,' but all the fua was evidently regard ed as merely preliminary or intro ductory to something bettor ia store. Occasionally, I caught a phrase, which pointed to something which every body looked forward to, but was entirely ignorant cf its nature, and presumed it to be tableaux or theatricals. Finally, at about 10 o' clock, a general call for furs and wrappings arose, and in a few min utes the whole company bad passed into the garden. The moon had just risen, and its pale beams revealed the anshapely forms of snow covered trees and shrubs tbe tops only of the latter protruding over the thick bed of snow, with its glittering crust Ia the centre of the garden 1 soon dis covered the attraction which had caused us to forsake the warm and lighted rooms two kotoks of moder ate height loomed up before us, and a number of sleds were strewn about, ready for uae. A general pairing took place immediately, and in a few moments the sport was ia full blast The two platforms faced each other, and the tracks raa side by side, so that the parties could dash past each other amid laughing, screaming and shouting. I looked around for a vacant sled in order to try my hand at the game, but just aa I was climbing the steps to one of the platforms I was informed that no gentleman could be permitted to ride aione on such aa occasion, and 1 was quickly provided with a passea ger a young lady from the country endowed with considerable embon point Without possessing the least confidence in my skill as a steers mar. I was somewhat comforted by tbe thought that tbe well-rounded form of my passenger, made stiil rounder by aa. ample fox-skia robe, would not be liable to suffer aoy Ee- rious damage ia case of mishaps. With tbe utmost Lonchalance I ac iusted mv sled to the very edse of the dazzling, shining ana glittering incline..

At last we were both seated, and the sled adjusted, as I ituazined. with the utmost mathe matical precision, a to run a straight c urso to the end of tbe track. Full of confidence. I pave the start, and with aa impetus that almost took my breath away, we dashed ahead to land in the 'snow bank on one side, only half way dowa the incline. The force with which ihe sled struck the snow caused it to overturn, and my fine and I rolled down the snow bank to the level. My profuse apol ogies seemed to be altogether super fluous; the partner of my disaster was none the worse of it, ond only remarked that it was very naughty of me to play that trick the fir time Tha innocent little buudle of fur thought I had upset her on pur pose. Wilb Bomo mitigivinga on my part the experiment was repeated, with nearly tne same result, and by that time I dawned upon the other par ticipants in the fun that they had a "greenhoru" among them, and plans of mischief were concocted accord ingly. One of the gentlemen ap proached me and observed that 1 seemed to he bewildered by the crowd dashing down before roe and beside me, and that they would giye me a chance of descending aboofi, ahead of them all.

It is a one-storied building, t. e , a groand- lloor only, divided into seven plain, unadorned rooms; a kitchen, with appliances which a small farmer's wife ia England would coosidder very insufficient; a dining-room with a plaia deal table, large enough, how ever, to accommodate twenty-five; a little store-room; threo bedrooms for his children and any friends who may land upon the island; and his own bed-chamber and study combiaed a good-sized room with two windows, (one to the east, the other to tbe south,) a carpetless boarded floor like tbe deck of a ship, and white-1 washed walls. Its chief articles of furniture are a plain, roomy, iron bedstead, four common chairs, a sim ple writing-table, and old-fashioned chest of drawers, and a shower-bath.

As tbe cattle of tbe country in crease in number it is evident that the quantity of winter feed mast al so increase, and also as tbo quality of our live stock is improved bo must our winter provender increase ia quantity, as well as improve ia qual ity. Well-bred stock must be well fed to be profitable. If we have not a certainty that our hay crop will be amply sufficient lor our winter stock we should prepare to add to it at once. Those who have not grown Hungarian grass can have no idea bow much fodi'cr can be grown to the acre from this very valuable crop. No farmer should be without it or its kindred millet, of which it is a variety. For soiling it will, ia the thort season of its growth, yield two or even three heavy cuttings. For hay it should be cut just before the seeds begin to form ; if left later it will become dry and hard, and have lost mucii of its nutrition ia quality, but if cut green the hay is eaten greedily by farm stock. The pres ent month (June) ia tbe best time to bow it, tbougu it is sometimes sown aa late as the middle of July. The ground for it should bo well cul tivated ; and tbe richer the soil tbe heavier the crop. From two pecks to a bushel of seed is usually sown. Sow evenly, barrow it in well and roll ii. Rolling is the more Lecessary as it id sown in tbo drf season, la two months from tbe time it is sown yoa may have it saved as bay ia less time often. It may succeed aa early soiling crcp fall rye, or oats and peas, so that there may be two well paying crops ia tbe same sea son. Hungarian grass ms oe aui- fered to mature so that tbe seed may be saved, but by s.o doiog the fodder is so much deteriorated as to be more worthless than ordinary straw, and if tbe farmers' object be to have fodder for bis cattle, bis aim should be to have it ia good quality regard less of tbe feed. Hungarian grass, aud all the cultivated varieties ot millet, bears seed that, if saved for the purpose, would make a very nice flour, and tor this it is used ia some couatries ; but the objeet of the grower is tbe flour, not tbe foddor, and the nutrition that would bo bad in well saved hay has been taken from it by the maturing jd ripening of tbe seed. Though the crop seemed from its great balk impoverishing, tbe sou is not as much impoverished by it as might be supposed. Any crop, cer eal or other, does not, when cut be fore being matured, scourge the land as it would if permitted to ripen the seed. Farmers' Advocate. A Ortala Remedy for tbe t'nrralio. As soon as ibe plums are of ibe siz" of a bazol-nut, (or just before tbe curctiiio commences to attack) procure several gallons cf coal or gas tar : put about a quart into a loDg-baudled etew Dan. and with a matcb and shaving you will eooa have a blaze tbe better tb blaze tbe denser tbe smoke. Carrr und. r tbe trees bo as to completely frnoke every part of tbe tree top. Uepeat three or four times a week until the plum begin to ripen, or until all danger of dam age bv curculio ia over. Tbe smoke is very offensive to breathe, and tbe emell remains Ecvcral davs in tbe foliage, or until washed off by rains, when tbe smoking mini be repeated. Some mar atk,iiow long does it take to smoke a tree each time ? X o longer than to get tbe smoke into all parts of tbe tree. It usuallv lakes about half an bonr to smoke forty tree?. Now for tbe codling motb. A. O. Tattle, for several jears r resident of Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, and petbaps ite leading mrservman of the State (be is now testing over one hundred varieties of Russian ap plet"), tells me be has discovered a remedy, cr rather trap for iho moth, tbaj. ess proved to bp a complete sue cef$. Take ebaliow pans or saucers, and plato seme strong apple vinegar in them and bang among the brunch es of tbe trees. The snull i f tbe vinegar attracts tbe m'.b, and tbey are caught and drowned in tbe same. Mr. Tuttle told me he has captured over forty codling moths in one of these pans in a single tight, and so great was his succens that be notified Charles Downing, the leading au thority on fruit in this country, i saw a letter from'tha.l. gentleman ex pressing fcjj gratification at Mr. T's success, and jdrisjnj him to dissemi nata tie remedy tvroijgt jhc medium of tbe brew, a it would bit oi im mense beneGt to tbe fruit growers of the country.
