SKETCH.
From Gltaion't Pictorial,
MB. SMITH’S ADVENTURE.
BY F. A. Dt-’ItIVAGE.
Os a very pleasant June morning, a hand
some young map of twenly-two, or iherea
bouts, fashionably attired, and with that pen
sive, melancholy air, which well became his
dark eyes and wavy'locks, and Which mark
ed him as a poet of the Byion school,n re
jected lover, or an unlucky gamester, or a
briefless attorney, or whatever you will, for
melancholy wraps her dprk mantle round ma
ny shoulders in this dreary world of ours;
a handsome, melancholy young mnn, we say,
interesting enough tp flutter the hearts of a
whole boarding school, was strolling along
through a pleasant lane in one of the rural
counties of England- He had come down
by the LfCndon coacji, nud while waiting for
a conveyance to tak£ him across the country
to ll|o place of bis i destination, thought to
amuse himself by ajbrief ramble. He paus
ed now and then Id gather a fragrant rose,
or a bunch of hawiWn from a hedgerow ;
bot be tossed ayvayjbe flowers as carelessly
as he culled FFetm • ~ ■
“ Heigho!” he muttered to himself. “It
remains to be seen what will be the upshot of
this visit to my rich old bachelor uncle, my
only surviving relative. Is it at all likely
the whimsical old humorist will suit me, or
that 1 shall suit him ? A retired mnmof busi
ness, how can I expect that i.o will Taney a
good-for-nothing fellow who never did a bit
of business in his life ?—u poet whose book
did n’t sell; a dramatist whose piny was a
failure; a litterateur who found no favor
with the publishers ? Will he pay my debts
and make nre his heir? My whpts London
life has been a failure; and the only ngreent.
ble episode was my trip to Bath. Poor So
phy Wruggies ! I believe she loved me sin-,
cerely. But I acted honorably. When 1
found that my heart was engaged, I tore my
self away without an explanation. For what
had I to offer her? —I, bankrupt in hope and
purse?”
As he mused thus mournfully, he came in
sight of a handsome villa facing a broad,
smooth-shaven lawn, and backed by a pretty
garden and park of ornamental trees. As ho
paused lo survey it with the pleased eye of
n poet, a smart servant in-smnrt livery ad
vanced along the road, and after glancing at
him sharply, touched his hat and sa'.d respect
fully ffMr. Smith,”
“ Thop’s my name.”
“ Tlfenk ye-—thank ye, sir,” said the fel
low, grinning from carlo oar, and turning on
his heel he ran off and disappeared.
“ Is that fellow crazy ? ”
• A moment afterwards a dozen or more far
mer’s boys, armed with muskets suddenly ap
peared in the road before bim, and setting up
a Ipud hurrah, discharged their weapons si
multaneously, and than disappeared in the
smoke.
“ What the douce is to pay here? 1 ’ tho’t
Smith, lJ Is lids election day, or fair day I
—or, is this a lunatic asylum, and those fel
lows madmen ? ”
He walked on, curious to learn the cause
of the commotion. As he approached near
er to tho village gale in the thick hedgerow
opened, and a portly gentleman in black,
wiih a while tvaislcoal, Very rosy gills, and - a
hunch of flowers*in his bulton-hole, suddenly
appeared wiih hands extended.
“My dear boy,” said he,' “welcome!
You’re before your'lime ; but so much the
heller. Jt speaks well for your gallantry.
But where’s your uncle! ”
“I have n’t seen him yet,-sir; and I bear
he is unwell.”, . i ... ,
“ Well, well,” said the old gentleman, “ I
hardly expected him. .You don’t look .quite
well yourself—a little pale, nervous. No
matter; it will soon bo over—hey? Well,
you don’t look i bit like the old .naan,; I ex
pected to find you shorter and stouter.. I
thought Sophy must have been mistaken* in
yout appearance.”
“ Sophy 1" exclaimed Smith, .more and
more bewildered. , ,
“Ay, ay, my boy! She’s told me all—
how she met you at Bath and loved'yon, bad
how suddenlyyou disappeared, Youhad no
idea of entering into an arrangement for life
without seeing your intended) and faith, 1
don’t blame you for it. Wbon’l was at your
ago, I wouldn’t have married a girl to please

“ Mrs. Wruggles, .Mrs) -W niggles [—com

“ Sophy .Wruggfes is really the girl, then,

tainly an odder’ man than even -the World
gives-'him credit for'—to' manOffe such p sur
prise for mo; and to leave me to tumble in
■lo happiness without the least suspicion of
’the felicity before me!
But his meditations were cut short by (lie
entrance of the’ fair Sophy attired in virgin
white, apd looking lovely, as nn 'angel. Mr.
and Mrs Wruggles led her forward, and then
discreetly left the room. As she seemed ov
ercome by emotipn, Smith caught her iu his
arms, and her head recliqed upon his sboul

“My dear,dngel!” cried Smith, “'fell
me ifil otve this happiness to-your own free
will,pud not to your filial obedience.
“ (Can you ask me, William, 1 ”, replied the
bride, blushing and looking up in his face.
Smith pressed the lips of his.adored. ,
*tWbat a strange courtship ours has been,”
said'Smith, “ carried on in the language of
the eyes alone.”
“Yours wore so expressive! ” said Sophy.
Do you remember Bath ? ”
“ Can I over forget the pump-room ? ” cried
the lover, • .
“How I trembled when I handed you (ho
glass! ”
“ How I thrjlied when-! drank it! ”
“ And the ball at the Assembly rooms ! ”
suggested Smith,
“ And thfe waltzes and the polkas!” re
plied the bride.
“ Decidedly we were formed for each oth-
er.”
“Sophy !” cried the voice of the maternal
parent.
“ Coming, mother I—excuse me, dearest,”
lot , erVnitns,'sho sped out of the room.
“ Of' course this is a dream ( ” said Smith,
“ but it’s very pteasant while it lasts.”
“ For yoU, sir,” said the livery servant
Smith had met in the lane, entering and pre
senting a package oa a silver salver. Smith
dismissed the man, opened the letter, and
read :
“Mr. William Smythe:— Your uncle
has begged me lo write, because he has the
gout in his hand, and can’t hold n pen. He
begs me to say that he wishes you all sorts
of happiness, but he can’t think of being pres
ent at the ceremony. He sepds you here
with a letter of credit on his banker at Paris,
and will expect you as ns the honey
moon and your touron the continent amend
ed. Hufmbly wishing you joy, for nryself,
I remain, YourS to command,
“ I don’t know this Simon Slow,” thought
Smith; “ but I suppose he’s my uncle’s
steward. .The fellow thinks lo compliment
me by spelling my name Smythe ; but plain
Smith is good enough for me. It’s a respec
table family, but contains too many Johns.”
Of course ho pocketed the money without
demur and prepared to go through the cere
mony with the easy grace and nonchalance of
a man of the world. He was introduced to
a great many people, and shook hands so
many limes that his shoulders ached. After
breakfast the carriage was announced. The
leave taking was hurried through, the happy
couple escaped from their friends and took
their seals, the postillions plied whip and
spur in anticipation of liberal fees| and away
they flew behind f6ur spanking,bays at a rat
tling rate down the same road up which the
unconscious bridegroom had strolled that
very morning.
As he glanced out of the window, ho saw
a fat pedestrian in drab gaiters, wiping his
perspiring forhead and toiling through the
dust. Smith smiled. If anything can add
to the gratification of x being whirled along in
an easy-running carriage, it is to contrast it
with the toils of pedeslrainis.ro on a dusty
road. But little did Mr. Smith suspect who
that unfortunate was; • While Mr. and Mrs.
Smith are speeding on their bridal' tour, let
us follow up the little fat pedestrian. Over
come with the heat of the weather, and his
own exertions he sat down on a stone.
“ Vot an ’orrid ’ot day!” he exclaimed, in
the purest cockney vernacular, as he mopped
his crimsoa- forehead withhislhick bandanna,
‘f ’Ot enough lo roast an Oltentot' 1 - Vot a
go!—to think of that ere hengine runnin’
off the rail and spillin’l)a|l life passengers!
That looks as if it might be tho’ouse. ’Dllo,

“ Vy, sir,” replied the cockney, with the
same phraseology of poliienoss and frigid se
verity of manner, “ I simply came to bin
quire after the/ealth of your family.”
“ Sir, 1 ana much obliged to you for your
soijcjtude,” replied>Mr. Wruggles. “My
family are pretty well, I thank you.”
“ Hincluding yoUr ,daughter, i ’ope Said
the cockney, bowing.
“ Including my daughter,” said Mr. Wrug
gles. “You are aware, perhaps, that she
was married this morning.”
“ Married !” cried the cockney, starling to
his feet. “ Married I I’ll trouble yoq to re
peat that expression, Mr. Wruggles.”
“ My daughter was married this morning,”
replied the bereaved father,- with a savage
air, intended to say, “ what’s that to you
“ Vill you have the hextreme kindness,
Mr. Wruggles,” said the cockney, “to .in
form me whom your daughter married 1”
“ Nothing can afford me greater pleasure,
sir,” replied- the father bitterly. “ The name
of my son-in-law is William Smith.” -
“it is, is ill” cried the cockney trembling
violently.
‘t’Yes, sir—William Smith,” replied Mr.
Wruggles, calmly.
Smythe with a y and a he, or Smith with
a hi and a haitch ?” inquired the cockney
furiously. *
•‘■.What is it to you how ha spells his
aamJ” cried. Mr. Wruggles, getting angry.
“never jutting 7" replied the cockney furl,
ously thrusting a letter into Mr. Wruggles’
hand.
“ Mr. Wruggles read if and turned pale.
“ From your undo, sir,” he said.
“ Yes, from my you’ve been
a foolin’ as you’ve been a foolin’ me.”
“0, why 1 why”— cried Wruggles rising
and pacing the room, “ why didn’t you gel
here sooner 1” 1
“ Vy!” screamed the cockney, whom we
must now call by his real nanie o( William.
Smythe, “ vy I because the hingine.run off
the track—and that’s the reason. You’re a
nice man, Mr, WruggleSj—you’ve gone and
given your daughter to a bimposler—a had
venturer.” '
“If you’d been named Jenkins or Brown,
this wouldn’t have happened,” said Wrug
gles, reproachfully.
‘‘lt’s mighty easy to throw the blame on
that,” retorted Smythe. “ ’Owcan-I ’elp my
name ? Besides I spell it with a y and a Ag.”
■ “ My daughter was a party to the plot—if
plot there were,” said Wruggles thoughtfully ;
“ for she knew this gentleman—mot him at
Bath. Vyere you ever at Bath V'
“ Never 1” said the cockney.
" And you never saw her ?”
“ Never!”
“ Then it’s very clear that at least she has
married the man she loved—and very likely
that the name he claimed was a real one.
There’s a mystery in this sad affair which I
shall not rest till I have probed to the bottom.
You can-assist me, perhaps. Will you stay
and dine with us ?” 1 I
“No, sir! I Wont rest another minute
umtyr this roof. But you shall hear from me
agiri, sir—through my attorneys, sir—Chit

And the cockney banged away, to lake (he

'Phis scene threw Mr. iW-tuggles into p
fever of apprehension and perplexity. • His
daughter had married'the Wrong man. Vet
she' knew him—huNvae and
well-dressed, and as; '(fU' l as' the person was

If you have trees that are shy bearers,
pinch off the terminal shoots when they have
attained about one half or two-thirds their
usual growth, in order to develop the fruit
buds for another .season.
It has been found agnod practicoin young
orchards just come into bearing, to takeoff a
largo proportion of the blossoms that may
set, that'tbey may bear every year, instead
of-ovary, two years, ee-is usual with apples.
The apple tree left to bear freotyj'bxhausls
the materiols for a fruit crop elaborated the
previous season, and as (here is not usually
lime after the ripeningof the fruit, for its ves
sels to develop the fruit buds for another
years, before the falling of the leaf; the con
sequence is*that usually the apple tree bears
it sfull crop every other year.
Cherry trees mature their fruit so early in
the season, the lime is given to elaborate the
fruit buds ere cold weather sets in.
Weakly and tender trees should not be per
mitted lo bear freely—for present profit is
purchased at the expense of future health and
vigor.
Mulch your, newly transplanted trees and
shrubs, especially those not hardy and vigor
ous growers. Cherry trees particularly re
quire it. 1
Treat your trees and scrubs ns fairly as
any of your hoed crops; supply them liber

with a good compost, spaded or plowed

Cherry trees, dust them with dry caustic lime
or ashes. Jar your Plum trees smartly every
day or two, early in the morning, and bo sure
to destroy by fire or boiling water, all the
droppings therefrom.
Soot and ashes freely dusted over your
melons and cucumbers, will much promote
their grokh and materially assist in keeping"

have commenced running, draw earth over
the third or fourth joint and press it with your

Keep your strawberry beds clear of grass

When molasses is used for cookipg, it is a
prodigious improvement to boil trod skim it
before you use it. It takes out tbe unpleas

Land?
To be sure jhey are, but of much less val
ue than unleached. Thetjeaching takes away
from it all that is soluble in water, such as
potash, soda and common salt. At least two
the ingredients composing the ashes
of hard wood, is left unchanged.’ This
sisls of lime, magnesia and phosphates &c.
In applying it more in quantity is needed than
before leaching.
The value of pshesasa manure, is nolsuf
ficiemly known or. appreciated. .Much of
the land in this country needs it. It; will not
answer as a substitute in all cases. Whatev
er is wanting in the soil, that must be given it.
If it is found in plaster, then use it. Ashes,
may may contain it, then it answers equally
well. The elements of the-two are quit? dif
ferent. Experience must.decide when an an
alysis of soils cannot be had.— il'Kean Cit

Gkeen Peas fob Winter Use. —The lov
ers of green peas will be pleased to learn
that they can be preserved Tor winter use by
simply gathering them at the proper lime for
using them green, shelling them and drying
them in the shade, arid when well cured and
perfectly dry, packing them away for use.
When required for use, they should first be
immersed in warm water for ten or twelve
hours, which will render (hem as tender and
deliciously succulent as when taken from the
vines. The best method of preserving theih
after theyhave been thoroughly cured by the
above process, is to put them into close jars,
or bottles. In this way'not only green peas,
but green beans and green corn may be had
the year round.
Gbavies and Fbied Meats. —lf fried
pork must be usedaa an article of food, to
some extent, do not sufier the drippings or fat
to be placed upon the table for gravy. Turn
it out, leaving but a spoonftlHtr two in the
skillet, then pour in water or niilk.and thick
en while boiling, with a little flour.and water
rubbed till free from lumps. With the addi
tion of salt, this makes a very palatable gra
vy. Gravy should be made in the same way
for all fried meals. Fried meals usually,
however, absorb too much fat to be strictly
healthful. Meats broiled on the gridiron or
baked in the oven are more digestible.
The Foubth at Wiekesb^rre. —U'a

Pitlston, just above -Wilkesbarre, between the
Irish and Germans. The hitter were enjoy

Stepped in and began to interfere. He was
put out, and immediately, as if a signal had
been given, a party of Irishmen gathered
and attacked the building with stones; A
dumber of persons wptp injured. It yvaa re
ported that two Irishmen were killed, h ul ffi o
