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

Wbyte, as if the begged pardon for

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.

she dropped her crutch and threw her
old arms around my neck, and sobbed
out, 'Ob, if I had been! if I bad

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

threw myself, on the snow and had

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

that night. I come here to marry

makes my blood run cold to look at

observe bis aptness at learning. He
did send me some new books no

them back on his desk. And he put
a buuch cf violt U in my hand as he

Wbyte casually remarked to Miss
Julia tbat she thotjgbt Gervais would
go to Europe if be married Miss

languages,' said she,
'That is an advantage,' said I; 'for
his future wife rf&nnoi even epaak

'I am glad,' saidMiss Julia, after
ward, 'that tbere'ssome one besides

"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."

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.

Tbe object in harvesting clover and
grass generally should be to cut it at
tbat stage of growth when it contains
tbe greatest amount of nutriment.
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.
So managed, it will retain its aroma
and nutritive qualities in tbeir great
est perfection, and be especially bene
ficial to milch cows in inter, not
only increasing tbe flow f milk, bat
adding much to its richness, and im
parting to tbe butter a color ulojoet

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.

Tbe marrriage laws in Virginia
are very strict, a mil accoat of the
age, parents' names, occupations and
residence being required from both
parties before a license is granted.
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
