TBE OPAL BRACELET MEM= I have never known who I am, nor whence I came. My first remembratieels of a long wearisome, stormy sea. voyage. during which I suffered much from illness and neglect, and cried ninny hours in my berth alone, for some one whom I loved to emote to me. Who this person was, or .whether there was more than one, I have long s , ner forgotten, and I think, even then, my memories of them were very indistinct ; anti, after all, my desires might have been more a child's passionate longing for love and rare, than the presence of any in dividual. I was even then with the vary person 111 . adame Marie and her 11110mnd—tinder whose charge I grew up to womanhood. They never claimed to be my parents, or to bear any other relationship of kindred blood to me. They lavished money on me, and 'gave me priceless Jewels which they said belonvd to my hum- Having these things, as a matter of course, I naturally set little value upon them. Among my jewels was only one Which awakened either pride or merest in me, and that was a bracelet, or rathei• armlet of some barbaric fashion, a heavy circlet of yellow gold, out of which gleamed nn opal of the largest size,and rarest lustre lquestion if another stone like this exists, and I feel almwd sore that scarcely, save In that wit RI land of mystery, the East, another with such magic powers as mins. From my youth I loved to watch the chang ing tints of my opal, and above all had been awed and charmed bY tt on one or two rare occasions when it assumed the appearance I am ahnut to desclibc. It was in questioning Madame Marie in relation to this that I heard :rom tier lips the first and only allusion to my parents that ever passed them. I was amusing myself, one day in my room, as was my wont, by ,drcorating my person in gorgeous robes and. jewels. Madame Marie had a collection of costumes of all manner of strange peoples, to which she sometimes al lowed me access, a 3 a means of diversion. I stinght those, told dressed myself in the yellow satin robes and flowing trousers of a Turkish Sultana. To complete the dress, I sought the opal bracelet. which was quite large enough to clasp toy arts near theshoulder, just where the wide sleeve fell (tack ward with graceful sweep, As I liked it from its casket I saw that a marvelous change hail passed over the gent. Its pale, translucent gleam, green, tinged with violet, had quite fluted away. A dull gray shadow 1.. v upon its sitter surface, while deep down in its very c.•ntre glowed tin eye. As distinctly its I behold site the blue opts of nty little tint' playing beside me, I saw the lurid orb shoot forth gh. ants of wrath, anti horror, as it seemed to my excited imagina tion, with ferocious hate. As I looked, the expression changed, wrath' and terror faded away, and in their place came an expression of such fiendish, such ma• lignant triumph as I have never seen, nor hope to Sig!, in any human eye. Terror strick en, I screamed aloud, and Madame Marie, who nos sitting iu the next room, hurried in, raow,d by her hu•band. and a little old stun whom they called Zophar. I had thrown thiwit the bracelet, and i•:. my gorgeous rubes tilts cowerin 7 in a corner among the cushions which I had arranged for the Sultana's couch. W hat is the matter, Ann ?" asked Madame Mari.., a I vane;ug towards me. 1 pointed to the bracelet, but put up Loth my hands warningly, lest she should bring it tp me. She snatched it from the ground, and turned to her husband, while Old Zopher fell into an ntlitude, * exclaiming in his broken and mixed dialet : =MI " Quelle pose ! Vat cent (trite° of de expres sion V rc is my papier ? Vero is non pin can? Allons ! Quoi done ! I go to snake my little prineesse vat you call immortelle !" Ilk. rushed from the room, and I heard. Ma dame )(aria sny to her Imbhaml : "TLhre is nothing hero, hill Rile 1111 Q SCVII.IIIe eye," and he with a loud laugh, anti a sneer directed at me, turned away. , You are tic' to he frightellotl, .Madame l‘litria then sahl, turning to tae. "The thing can't hurt you, and it's a sort of talisman, I believe, or something of the sort. It auy rate your mother charged mu never to allow you to part from it, and she showed otter the eye in the opal that always warns one of your race (,r danger, or change to any other member of the race. or to one who is beloved. I tell you now, since you have found out the secret, that you are never to part with the gem, though, of course, if you please you m ty lock it inYts casket, and not look upon it again for years." " But, Madame Mark,. tell no, yon have never told' me what is my race ? who 1,4 lay motile r ? what, and who am I ?" "Child bo quirt! How often !vivo I told you that yon are not to know morn than tl at you Ii long to us? De qui.

My mother ! Who or where was she'? What a mother's love; what a child's lump nes,: ? Lovingly, almost reverently, I took up the opt!. It %% as the only bond that united my barren, dissevereul life with that of my un known mother. The lurid eye had disappear ed, the gray warning tint was gone. It beamed upon mu., pen-l -like In its fathomless, transclucent light. as I pressed it wildly to niy lip , and heart. I drew the bracelet upon my arm, and from that hour I did not lay it aside for many long months. 1 watched the opal day and night. My health, life, comfort canal to hang upon its. changes. If It grew dull, I pitted and faded. If the eye gleamed forth in terror, hate or wattling, I shrank and moaned as one in pain, and seemed to feel, in my own person, whatever danger, pain or injttry the unknown member of my unknown race sus tained. :Madame Marie saw this, and vainly strove to remove it from toy sight. For tong I re sisted, until she stole it trim "me in my sleep, and licking in its casket, mid hid the key aiming her own effects. I pined for the opal a few days, but Madame 'Marie was coldly obdurate; soon healthier interests absorbed my mina, and I began to recover the strength I had lost. . About this period we removed to a busy city street. Our lile changed somewhat. I smnetimes went out with Madame Marie, closely veiled, and saw the brilliant shops, and various harmless sights of the city, and I sat by toy window, and saw the busy, surging life that Il twed through our noisy street. New thoughts, strange ideas began to quicken in My brain. My Intel, ct received a power fit' stimulus, end the opal and its mysterious changes were forgotten. And meanwhile, with My whole soul going out through toy eyes, I knew not that I was myself seen. flubert looking from his opposite window, saw me as I gazed ; my quaint and gorgeous dress attracted his regards, and my childish curiosity and interest In the veriest common• place of life, and then he noticed my unusual foreign form 'of feature, and , the complexion, with Its rich, warm tints, so different. from that of American girls. Curitisity deepened into interest, and I think he loved me long before that night when he saved me film that fearful man who, eluding Monsieur Henri's vigilance, sought my chamber, and would have borne me away, I know not where.

I know not, and I have long since ceased to care, content in my happy lot of wife and mother—best, holiest, happiest of all. GEORUE SAND'S NOVELS. MAUPRAT, MoNSIETIIt SYLVEBTIM, THE SNOW MAN, THE MILLER OF ANGI IIA ULT. The following criticism was written by Miss Preston, ate author of "Aspendale," for the New York World, in which paper it appeared: The "Miller of Angiblult" makes the fifth volume in Messrs. Roberts Brothers' series of Georg , : Sand's novels—one of the most inter• eating., and, on the whole, one of the most tudable literary adventures of the year. In a generation when Women write so much, and so much, unhappily, that is futile and forlorn, it is altogether desirable that we should have beside us, In convenient form, the best com positionsof the most vigorous and richly-gifted oman of the age. And since her language is not ours, and her incomparable best is mingled with much that is too daring to be otherwise then doubtful in its effect upon the ordinary reader, the work of judicious selec tion and competent trtnslation becomes all the more, from a literary p a int of view, a work both of necessity and mercy. In the case of these five volumes the selec tion has been good—perhaps the best possible —for one so limited, and the translations ad mirable. In the latter, however, there are degrees of excellence; Miss Vaughan's being the best, soil the delightful "Snow Man"— as perhaps it should be—decidedly the best, of hers. Mr. Shaw translates with freedom, giving us the speculations of Pierre and Mon sieur Sylvestre i n a style whice, though pure and forcible, is'related but remotely to that of George Sand. Ilis fault, if fault it be, is more venial than Miss Dewey's, who has rendered the "Miller of Angibault" like a very good French scholar, but primly, and with frequent lapses into the foreign idiom, which cornea hat weaken even Grand. Louis's appeal to the heart of the English reader. Miss Vaughan alone seems to possess exactly that delicate balance of mental qutilities essen tial to a translator of the first order. Iler thought—not her speech, which is quite another thing—adapts itself to French forms with marvellous ease and grace. She has reached that enviable, and by many unattain- able, point where a foreign language becomes a'iliseovered sense rather than a conscious acquisition. A good deal of address tins also been shown in the order in which these books have been ntb-red to the American public. " Mattprat" was gallantly given first, and " Mat prat," by the boldness of its conception, and its fear less handling of topics usually held too deli cate for full discussion, wan more likely than any of the rot; to have offended our anxious sense of decorum. Yet clear heads and sound heart were prompt to acknowledge its unique and even solemn power, and confessed, with something very like awe, the pungent moral stimulus which the talc conveyed. The' af fecting history of Bernard Mauprat does in derl shed hopeful light into one of the darkest and hitherto most fearfully avoided recesses of human nature. As indicating indirectly the root of the great social evil and its only possible palliative, "Mauprat" is worth more than reams of grim statistics, and libraries of pious sentiment. The public having received, and, let us hope, pondered, "Mauprat," the rest of the enterprise was easy ; and, indeed, there is scarce anything either in the matter or man ner of the four remaining volumes to offend the most fastidious prudery. As in "Man prat," certain moral ideas, in "Monsieur Sylvestre," certain philosophical speculations are embodied In the narrative. It is more customary in such a case for a narrative to be embodied, or rather embedded, in the theories proposed, but our author's is perhaps the better method. "Antonia" and the " Miller" are love stories merely, but very charming ones, full of fresh incident and delicate charac terization. The " Snow Man" is much more. It is really one of the most enchanting tales of pure romance ever conjured up by benevo lent genius for the refreshment of a jaded world. If there are any men and women lett in 'our country who can condescend to be simply amused, who can even appreciate un mixed, and childlike enjoyment, let them leave their several missions and engagements, their toil, whether of pain or pleasure, long enough to read or re-rend the "Snow Man." Yield ing quietly to the weird enchantment of its northern. scenery, its piquant yet tender human interest, the 'atmosphere of mild my stery which involves all the persons of the drama, and the soft, changeful. aurora-like light of humor which plays perpetually over all their goings, the reader will tidd restored to him, for one hour at least, the very dew a f his youth. And this, which constitutes the superlative charm of the "Snow Man," the time honored and legitimate charm of intricate plot amd ro mantic situation, is present, though in a less degree, in each of the remaining volumes. It he, in fact, the single excellence common to them all, and that which renders them par e tieularly well worth the study of those who aspire to write fiction. It is well 'enough for that vast multitude to be occasionally remind ed that a novel, however much of abstract wisdom it may casually betray, is properly l'anii primarily n work of art, lamenting meant for pleasure rather than profit. The gift of story-telling le, in truth, a divine and very rare one ; and the dramatic form is almost al ways abused and vulgarized by those who af fect it without a distinct vocation. It has be come fashionable, Indeed, to teach entirely by parables: speculations of all sorts, save one— those in physical science—seem to ba present ed by preference, in the form of novelettes. Weak plots and wordy characters are the al most universal result; insomuch that one wearies of the neat ;2mo, whereby one is in vited to shape onps course, or regulate one's belief, no less than of the eternal box of tro cites with which our clerical friends attempt so vainly to exercise the east wind. May it not indicate a return to more healthful modes, both of thought and feeling, when those who have truths to impart, or causes to pli.ad,dare oftener trust to the power of simple state ment and direct appeal P The so-called ques tions of the day are either mostly idle, or they are worthy of grave, concentrated attention. While the uneeniable luxury of following Imaginary beings through scenes of fancied trial and triumph had better, perhaps, be re served for our moments of mere rel 'tuition, as it was in the already good old days of the Wa verly novels. Art and phlanthropy might both gain by such a readjustment of their func tions. Meanwhile, it is suggestive that the one branch of Inquiry which has escaped dra matic treatment is the only one where great and satisfactory progress is just now being ntado. When the "Thrilling Adventures of a Germ Cell" shall have become the theme of a popular novelist, the doctrine of evolution will probably receive no farther development. No doubt fiction, like other forms of art, will be measurably modified, will acquire a certain general hue from the leading ideas of its time ; and this pervading tint, If the work be worthy to survive, will one day constitute a part of its historic price. The artistically constructed stories of George Sand herself would lose much of significance and intensity were there not ever present to the horrizon of her consciousness and advancing cloud or a retreating storm, adding splendor to the lights, and deepening the shadows of every I ieture she paints for us—the monstrous phan tom of the Revolution. It cannot be uninteresting,to-day,to inquire, in passing, how that dire portent has been re garded by one astute and dauntless soul who has seen it repeatediy and near at band, and that in its most appalling aspects—its frequent paroxysms of fury. The answer rendered by the works is plain. in the dyed this Titanic force inspires,and the pity its ravages evoke, there always seems to mingle a sentiment akin to reverence. To this unselfish dreamer,even when herself despoiled, the revolution is still the stern messenger of that heaven in which she will believe, the blast that clears, the lire that purifii , s, the mad prelude to all that she deems sweetest in life and most harmonious in society, the grim nurse of the virtues she would have us love—simplicity, fortitude, brotherly kindness of class for class, humility in wealth, patience in poverty.

"Everything," r, aponded the wag; "he didn't take a dollar with him." The desk .at which Benjamin Franklin learned to write, was sold at auction in Provi dence, last week,for ten cents. The low price at which the relic was sold will prevent the manufacture of any more of Franklin's desks. Charlotte Cushman once related the fol lowing anecdote :—She Said a man in the gal. lery of the theatre (she was on the stage at the time,) made such a disturbance that the piny could not proceed: Cries of "Throw him over," arose from all parts of the house, and the noise became furious. All was tumultuous chaos until n sweet female voice was hard in the Pit, exclaiming: "No ! I pray you, don't throw him over !

A discovery Is claimed to have been made which, if properly represented, moat beneilci. ally affect the silk culture.

Tats seventeenlear locust has appeared in Illinois, ninny millions of this much dreaded insect having appeared in the neighborhood of Morris, Grundy county, and it is thought probable that they will be found in greater or less numbers all over the northern part of the State. The locust is reported to have last ap• peared in that section in 1854, so that it is due in 1871. The present year promises to be one of unusual activity in the insect world. The locust In the north, the Hessian fly In the Southern wheat field?, the chinch bug to :the west„of us, and the poisonous potato bug almost all over the coantry, will do immense damage. Tilt irappearanee in such unwonted numbers is supposed to be due to the greater heat of last year and the deficient rainfall Which was scarcely more than three-fourths of the average all over the civilized world.

Printed at Short Notice NO. 2 I Pitoenccies uttered by persons who neither possessed nor pretended to inspiration have often caused at least momentary uneasiness to people who were too well educated to be su perstitious. Some of the predictions recorded in the memories of Napoleon the First have undoubtedly thus exerted a direct and positive influence u, on the history of France, and so of Europe. While no one believed that the great soldier spoke Under the effect of any di vine afflatus, few have failed to recognize the remarkable sagacity with which he read the characters of nations and the signs of the times. Hence, no doubt, the degree of im portance attached to or the interest fent)) , some distinguished politicians in his famous predic tions that " in fifty years Europe would be either Republican or Cossack." Lately the same Napoleon has been so much clouded or ' degraded that few have taken note of the fact that in the month of May just concluded, the period of the prophecy was accomplished, as the Emperor died in May, 1821. Though the words of such utterances may not be too closely interpreted or strictly pressed, It is natural, at the literal termination of the time designated to look about for indications of the verification or falsification of the prog nostifleation. This is especially natural when its terms are so free from ambiguity as they are in this case, leaving no room for controversy concerning time, half time or prophetic year. The fifty years having elapsed, not only is Europe not republican, but even France seems farther removed than ever before from the prospect of possessing demo= cratic institutions. Recollecting the course of events in that country it is an obvious specu. lation that Napoleon's prediction has been no insignificant agency in counteracting or pre venting its own accomplishment. The dread of republicanism rendered the people willing to accept the most odious despotism with all its abuses, as a less evil than the one which they were taught to expect. Familiar by ac tual experience with republicanism only of the Red type, promising socialism as its highest development, their fears welcomed the government of Louis Napoleon as a refuge from the fate foretold them by his uncle, and by the degradation and ruin brought upon the population by personal rule, they seem utterly unfitted fir selrgovernment in any form. We may add that the ready and friendly counte nance and support which the second empire received from other European governments were much prompted by belief In the Napole onic prophecy. The other alternative, the Russiflcation of Europe, also seems very remote. Europe is not only not I ossack, but the unification of Germany and the establishment of the Ger man Empire. make it certain that Europe is not destined to he Cossack. In reference to this side of the prediction with as much pro priety of torching the other; we may say that it frustrates Its ruifflinents by aiding to iiispire that Itossrmitoby which has controlled the politics of western Europe for the lust fifty years.—Piffiburgh Commercial. WORKING THE CORN Tee the Editor of the Germantown Tf. 'eyerreph The corn looks in some places well In others badly. Some of our neighbors are using'the cultivator already and others arc waiting fora larger growth befitre working. For ourselves we pref•r to use the Kelsey harrow as Boon as the tender shoots show themselves through the ground. rids will give the corn a chance with the grass and weeds, which If the farmer waited till the crop was large enough to work with the cultivator, would have a chance over the corn. 1 would adopt this plan : first go ing over twice with the harrow (with' the front teeth extracted), then let it rest till fit to work with the single cultivator, when ! would work it say four times, after which I would take the MrCormick corn-plow and plow to the row ; then take out the plow and put in the cultivator teeth, work It till level and leave It alone ; but I would try at least once a week to go over it with the corn plow to work up the soil. I would not spend much of the time with the hoe. This khelieve to be a good way to treat corn. I would not omit the corn-plow for a large st u n ; and that It works effectually, one clean field (and pro ductive) at least in this neighborhood can tes tify. A WORKING, FARMER. M it.

The \liss n nri Republican said : " Mr. Whin digham bus survived his time, and the sooner he subsides, the sooner will he have recog nized the prevalence of a conservatism in polities which has kept hint In private life since en early period of the war for the Union." To this the Dayton (Ohio) Herald replies : As to the personal allusions of the St. Louis Republican to Mr. Vallrindigbral, he, we know, receives all such, especially from that quarter, with the profound contempt which they neserve. It is thepistortune of some creatures that their prejudices never allow them to rise to the dignity and decency of a great public mestion." This does not look like the harmony which was promised to follow the " departure." Some of the Canadian papers are still de nouncing the treaty, which they contemp tuously term the Washingtmi capitulation. Prose and poetry are both brought to bear to express a sense of injustice, and their deter mination to die in the last , ditch rather than yield " the grandest river in the world" and their fisheries.
