Never mind ; it's begun ; aud I Lere by solemnly record tbat the weather is Gae and the wind southerly, and if we don't have the January tbaw.it's because nothing could thaw in Mrs. Wbyte's presence. Le received me when I came aa if she were the Grand Duchess of MaDgel-Wurzel, and she looked at my little truck as if it were a servant's bandbox, and presented me to her Prince Mangel, otherwise her brothtr-in-Iavr, Air. GervaU Wbyte, as if the begged pardon for reuiodiog a Wbyte tbat euch worms crawled the earth. Rut eke found this worm 'op on end.' he was about preseotiog me to eome more of those about her, when I remarked, with mr head at its highest : 'Pray don't take the trouble I am not ac customed to promiscuous introduc tions. I will go to Alisa Julia at once.' I enjoyed seeing Mrs. Wbyte's eyes open then ; tLey let some light in her brain, l fancy. 'By George !' I heard the prince say, as we swept outof the room together, 'Greek meets Greek!" And tten the music went on, and we threaded two rug velvet floored balls before arriving at Miss Julia's door in the wiog. On our way we met the duchess' husband, Mr. Gyles Whi'e, a long and solemn man, as becomes him. He said he knew me from civ resemblance to Miss Julia. Well, well! As for Miss Julia, ehe is a sight. A misshapen little creature not op to my shoulder; she is very short, she is very stout, she has almost a tump; take any view and i; seems that ber head is set cn wrong side before.

'Miss Julia is very pecu liar' She eays she is dying of lone someces. tbat the hardly sees any. body from morning till eight, onless Mr. Gerraia comes in and reads the Bible to her. 'And I don't want to bar the Bible!' she cries. 'As if I were an old woman with one foot in tbe grave. I want a good roarin love story. Find me one, my dear.' Tbe grand duchess opens tbe door and says good morning ; Mr. Gyles W bvte does tbe same, and adds, gen tly, tbat be hopes his coqsin is well , nobody else comes, except Mr. Ger vais. le sits an hour with her, and I take that time for my afternoon walk. I go down it airs only to dinner, where there is always company, slip into my seat after the others are placed, and am, cf course, never in troduced. If Mrs. Wbyte is obliged to mention me, the saye, in a poor relation war, 'Miss Parcel!, tbe cous in and companion of Miss Jolia.' It makes me shudder to think of the life4 this poor Miss Julia lived without me. Mr. Gervais 1 the only one who has teemed to think of ber as anything bat an animal that mast be ted and clothed.

Sometimes she praises me ; the other day she slapped me. I took ber bauds, and said, 'Miss Julia if you bad been my mother, I couldn't allow that' And she dropped her crutch and threw her old arms around my neck, and sobbed out, 'Ob, if I had been! if I bad been 1 Oh, my dear, don't you ever be a fool, and let love go by for a whim!' I tamed my bead and saw Mr. Gervais in tbe door ; and when I Lad thrown cn my cloak for a walk, I found bim gciog along beside me 'We!!,' he said, abruptly, 'don't you think my Gae sister-in law will get her3elf iuto difficulty for maintairjinir white slavery in a free country ?' Of course I laughed. 'So you are flesh and blood?' he said. 'You haven't meant one of these people should see you smile, or trown, or do anything other than in the capacity of a ma chine.' Perhaps. I answered him, 'these people bad not the importance in my thoughts be would give them; tbey were shadows. I came here at poor little Julia's cry out of Macedonia ; I don't stav because thev wished me, and I shouldn't go because they sent me. When I had done, it was be tbat laughed. You are a tragedy queen,' be said. 'We are not so bad as you make u? out. I doubt if anybody wants to throttle Miss Julv. Peo ple who do not make themselves loved run the risk of having tbeir existence forgotten. l ou do cot forget her existence, Mr. Gervais.' 'She is a lesson in natural history to me. 'You are not so bad as you make yourself cut,' I said. 'Now I am go ing to walk faster than you like. Good bye.' To my surprise be still stalked on beside me. '1 don't think you understand me,' said I. 'Perfectly well,' he said, 'liut Mrs. Wbvte has already remarked on the great danger of your solitary walks.' 'Mrs. White would have a great deal more to remark about if my walk were not solitary I I cried. And then I stopped, red, red, red to my eves. 'ibis is toe one Dour,' l exclaimed, in exasperation, 'in which I live my own life, am alone, can breathe. Please let me have my hour.' Then be stood aside, lifted his hat, aod let me pass. How grave and bow superb he was! And I 1 was an angry child. I had no soon er crossed the crest of tbe bill than I threw myself, on the snow and had one good cry that cleared my heav ens. My nerves arc getting used cp February 2. What a spasmodic diary ! But really so little to say. It hardly seem9 worth while to chron icle Mrs. White's small beer, her din ners and her lions and there's noth ing else.- The ther day Mr. Gervais quietly took the vacant place beside me at the table. 'Now I shall have a fine time,' he said, under his breath. 'Being appointed to take in Miss Mayne, 1 absconded, and another has received tbe appointment. Something too mucb of this.' 'Have yon really been so rude.' I said. 'I see. You are not in tbe conspir acy,' be replied. 'Rut if your sister-in-law meant to marry you to an heiress for whom you bad an aver sion, and who, for all you knew, had an aversion to you, what would you do?' 'Why have you an aversion? She is pretty. Her diamonds are 'I have enough of my own,' said be. 'And if I bad as niuch as tbe national debt, would I choose this life instead of a cottage among the mountains, with books, pictures, mu sic, dogs and horses, choice friends and few?' And therewith he was describing all our life at dear old Carecross. I don't know why he se lected me for a confidante, but he went cn talking. 'Did you know I was a mind-reader?' be said. 'I know exactly wbat you think. Yon wonder at me talking to you so. 'Yes,' I said, looking up at him. 1 thought te started. For a moment bis eyes rested on mine iu a strange way. 'I will tell you why some day,' he said. 'I didn't know myself be fore. And then Mrs. Wbyte was ris ing. Tbat night, when everybody had gone, came down tor tbe evening paper, which Miss Julia insisted on seeing before going to sleep, because some premonition told her tbat some body's death or marriage was in it which she ought to know about. 1 hesitated a moment about going in, because I saw in the hall mirror Mr. Gervais standing before tbe library Gre, ' while his sister-in-law reclined among ber velvets on the lounge. 'She is a serpent,' Mrs. Wbyte was saying. 'I was astoniehed at your imprudence with her during the whole dinner. She has come to the bouse, this Purcell beggar, for nothing un der heaven but to marry you, Ger vais.' Miss Julia bad no evening paper that night.

"We were to assemble next morn ing at our friend's station for break fast, after which we were to joia a large party that had assembled at tbe place selected for the hunt. It was a ioyely morning, with a fine, brisk wind blowing, just sufficient to dry ud all tbe moisture from the atmos phere. tve arrived upon tbe ground m good time, and found those whom we were to join already waiting for us. Tbe dogs which accompanied them for the purpose of tbe hunt were un like wbat we bad been accustomed to in the more civilized neighborhood of Melbourne. Tbey were a kind of large, bony greyhounds a cross be tween tbe greyhound and Scotch deerhound ; and it was explained that instead ot following their quarry by Bcent, tbey hunted entirely by sight. Tbe district which had been selected was not very prolific in kangaroo, as it is deemed belter to select localities where a few are sure to be found, but not in large flocks, as it is diffi cult under these circumstances to separate them, and tbe dogs are apt to select an animal for themselves, instead of all keeping to one in par ticular. We were soon 'on to an old man,' who led us at a rattling pace. At first it was very treacherous work riding through tbe thick bash, and it was necessary to keep a sharp look out simultaneous for the eyes, the knees, and the neck. Tbe saddles used in tbe bush have large knee- pads, to prevent any injury tc the knees ; for it is impossible on all oc casions, especially when riding after cattle through the busb, to prevent the face and eyes coming in contact with tbe branches, and also to guard against the number of hidden, falieo trees, which had been overgrown with ferns and grasses. The horse, however, which bad been bred in and is accustomed to the busb, is itself very careful ; and if the rider has a tight hand, and sits steadily and easily, yet closely to his steed, be is almost sure to be carried safely through all difficulties. The pace, as I had said, was very great at first, but gradually slackened as we proceeded, and the animal began to tire. Some of the party had already had enough of it, and a horse ridden by tns Owner of two of tbe best dogs in the pack bad got badly staked. Pres ently we came to cultivated land, and here the kangaroo endeavored to intercept us by placing a pretty stiff log fence between bim and his pur suers. Rut he might have saved him self the trouble, poor old mao. bad be know n v ' ut a small batch of horse men and ogs behind him could do in the way i overcoming these obsta cles; a' J when he perceived tbat even this last effort was of nu avail. and -that he was sail pursued, he ev idently began to lose heart, and soon came to a standstill. The dogs cautiously approached him now, cautiously, 1 say, fur they were old hands, and well knew the terrible use the old man could make of his toes when driven to desperation in this way ; and most of tbe dogs bore testimony of bis powers by tbe large scars which were visible on tbeir sides, for a kangaroo can rip a dog, or anything which attacks bim, in the most wholesale manner, by the use of tbe sharp claws attached to his legs. Tbe dogs were now called off, and one of tbe party dismounted, getting bebind tbe animal, while another fac ed bim, with a heavily loaded bunt ing whip, in order to dispatch him. This was no easy matter, as the kan garoo would ward off the blows with bis arms and bands, showing the skill of an erperienced fencer. He wonld often endeavor to charge his opponent in front ; but, fortunately for the enemy, wbo otherwise would not fail to feel tbe animal's fury, there was another behind, wbo would at this moment se:z? bim by tbe tail, and, by a well-directed blow from bis loaded whip on tbe animai's bead, put aa end to tbe combat."

Young ladies "'ho think proper to correspond with rejected lovers would perhaps do well to take a hint from tbe following curioas case, which is. however, authentic: Mile. Maxy, wbo lives on the farm of Peotecote, on the Belgian frontier, was on the point cf being married, when she received a letter from an old suitor asking ner to reeonsider tbe matter, anp send bim an immedi ate reply.

Such is the state of tbe case as it stands at present, but tbe tale carries its own oaral. Hay. Recent investigations threaten tc upset some popular notions. It has long been supposed that early cut is more valuable than that eut later. If the judgment of tbe cows were a test, there would be no question then about it. They will leave the riper bay, and even refuse to eat it at all. if they can procure tbat which has been cut earlier.

JJucc, or course, win.depend upon the weather, but much also depends on tbe exact stage ot growth at which tbe plant is cut. Tbe end and aim. if we may so speak, of all the plants is to propagate tbeir species. Hence, we find them springing up, flourish ing, producing seed, and then dying. During periods of active growth tbey are constantly engaged in receiving e&iraneous nutritive matter with which tbe structure of tbe plant is composed, is constantly undergoing change tbe 6ugar that abounds in the young and growing plant being largely changed daring the ripening of the seed into husk, bran and starch in the grain, or woody fiber in the stalk. The opeuing of the flower is the signal for tbe commencement of this change, which continues to go on un til the plant ha3 reached maturity consequently tbe longer (this change is permitted to continue tbe more this matter will decrease. The ob ject, therefor?, of the haymaker should be to seize on tbat particular period in tbe growth of tbe plant when it contains the largest amount of nutritive matter, and this is when the plant is in full bloom. Every hour tbat clover is allowed to stand after it has reached this point i" at the expense of its nutrition, and if not cut until dead ripe, the stems have become so hard and woody as to be but little better than so many sticks. No crcp is more easily in jured by wet weather than this, and to bave it just dry enough to stow away in tbe barn or stack, but not bo dry as to cause the heads and leaves to shatter off in handling, requires the most discriminating judgment aod closest attention. In order to care clover bay of the best quality the sun should never be permitted to shine on it more than half a day af ter it is cat, when it should be pat under shelter as soon as possible.

Much more coffee is used here than in any country on tbe globe, France being tbe only land that consumes anything like an equal amount. W bile tea has taken the place of coffee bere to a certain extent within a few years, this is mainly in cities and large towns ; and there is do proba bility of its becoming the national beverage, as it baa become in Russia and largely in England. Coffee, al though unknown to the Greeks or Romans, has been used from time immemorial in Abyssinia and Ethi opia ; since the fifteenth century in Arabia, and since tbe sixteenth over tbe remainder cf the East Toward the close of tbe following century, tbe plant was carried by Wieaer, a Netherland burgomaster, from Mocha to Ratavia (Java), where it waa widely reproduced, and ere long the shoots were sent to Amsterdam, and thence to tbe Botanical Garden at Paris. Coffee was first drank in Egypt and Turkey in the sixteenth century, having been brongbt from Arabia; and Leon bard Kanwolf, a Germaa physician, was probably the first to make it known in Enrope, through his travels published in the year 1573. Coffee-bouses soon sprang up in different countries of Europe, the earliest in Constantinople (1551) tbe next in London tbe year subsequent This one was kept in Corn hill by a Greek, one Pasqnet, the servant ot an Englishman named Edwards, wbo bad brought some coffee with bim from Smyrna. The first coffee-bouse in France was opened in 1671, in Marseilles, and a few months later Paris imitated.tbe example. Before tbe civil war, coffee-houses, aa they are called, were very common in tbe W est and South, and are still, the name being applied to bar-rooms probably because most everything except coffee could be had there. Tbe consumption of coffee baa in creased very rapidly throughout the republic, the poorest people drinking tbe pure article, so far as tbey can see it ; while in Europe generally the comparatively well-to-do alone can afford the luxury. Tbe chief substitutes, such as bar ley, crusts, beans, chicory, are seldom employed in this country, most of the Americana preferring to go with out than not to bave tbe real thing. Coffee is an absolute necessity with us, being drank in the laborer's cabin no less than is the rich man's bouse from Maine to California, from Flori da to Washington Territory. It is said tbat we import now about 300, 000,000 pounds annually, valued at $25,000,000, and our yearly increase in the laot quarter of a century is es timated at &i per cent against 2 in Europe, and 4 per cent, for tbe whole world.

A clergiman who marries minors without tbe parents' consent is liable to a fine of $20,000. It is probably owing to these safeguards about marriage that divorces are so rare in Virginia. Before tbe war a village called nard-Scrabble, ju3t over tbe Pennsyl vania line, was a sort of Gretna Green, and a quondam shoemaker, wbo had been chosen justice of tbe peace, officiated as god of love to join the flying lovers who hired him to escape the law.
