" 1 won't be hon> l-efora six o'clock, but j-ou will go to dinner with Mrs. Clarke." " I arill wait for von. and dine late." "Very well., Adieu, then." An aflectiorate kias, and Mr. Smith left his little daughter to a rainy day iu a New York hotel, while he went out upon busi ness. There was nothing very raman'ic or uncommon in the situatkui. l'apa bad come frani Utkax upon business for a week in New York, and papa's only daughter had begged for a holiday aud come sUo. This was the first rainy day, so Mary Smith opened ber trunk and fished up from a lot of clothing a most dainty little work box. A few minutes were given to a crochet collar, and then:— "Tfatare! I'll write townamtua! She won't expect a letter, but it is just the day to write one. I'll tell her about our meeting Meta Clark on the train, and how nice it is to have a lady friend here, and I can ask her about my "new silks, too. I'll write." Pen, ink, and paper being produced by a waiter the young lady weut to work. '• Let me see, what day of the month is it ? The foumeuth. Why. it is SL Valentine's Day! I wonder if any Valen tine* came for me f Two minute*• more of writing, and then a short, sharp rap on the door interrupted the letter. •' Come in P Only a bell-boy, with a snowy envelope in h>s hand.

"Yea. * Letter for vou.'' and off he went to de iver tbe remainder of a postman's pack k *• M " Now who is that from ?" speculated A tbe young lady. " It's not John's hand. not Harry's.

A phot jgraph of a gentlemamyoung, good-looking, with a uias* of cut ling ha r, pleaaant eyes, and good features. Uuder tbe portrait, one line of pencilled writing: " Can you guess who-1 am 7" Mis* Mary Smith gazed and wondered. Mentally she passed every masculine face she remembered in review, from her cousin Adolph's d ivra to tbe milkman'?, but the one before her did not answer the call of memory. " Can you guess who I am f she read, after vainly endeavoring to identify tbe fixtures. "No, Mr. Impudence, I can't, but I'll fini you out some time and pay you for your saucy Valentine. I believe I won't write after all. but finish my coll xr. OK. it is going to clear up! Fll go anil see if Meta Clark will goto walk if the sun comes out. and we can decide upon the silk." Meta Clark and tbe sunshine both being propiti'His, the brigLt little brunette was som equipped and the shopp'ng under taken. . "You know papa has given me carte blanche for a new evening silk to figure at brother John's wedding." " Are you bridesmaid F' '• No, indeed ! ' Three times a brides maid. never a 'ride,' and I was bridesmaid for Henry's wife for coosm Hattie, so this time I declined with thanks." " You superstitious little goose. I was bridesmaid six times before I figured as bride." " / wont peril my chances in that way," was tbe gay rejoinder. "Why,there he is!" " Who ? Don't stare at that young in that way, May. Who is he t" . - I don't know. .It certainly is him !" w*a the old answer. " I don't believe he knew me." "He did not look as if he did. What poneased you to stare so 7 There, be has vanished.

What did be send me his picture for?" Evening silks and the relative merits of corn color, or*nee and pink for brunette complexion and hair, soon drove the Valen tine fr >tn May's mind, and the recollection oT May's old conduct from that of her young friend. " You are coming home for the wedding. Meta V said May, after the important choice was made. "I am goin, home on Wednesday. I only came to keep C'barlev company.

Henry lives at home, and John won't be far off" '■ Daughter-in-law are not daughters," said May, decidedly. " Papa relies' upon me." "Of course he does. Poor papa!"

It was evening when the gentleman arrived, and the party were out on the I torch in the summer evening's halt light, t was soon evident that the new comer was a valuable addition to the circle. Jest and merriment received a new impetus from his lively conversation, and he made friends with Mi-s lir-fly May at once, the two tossing re parte* anil gay sallies one to the other, till all were amused to listen to the playful warfare. '• You will have your namesake jealous," said Meta to May as they at last broke up to retire. j " I want to see if be is as handsome as he is pleasant," said .May.

May was in tensely happy for tbe first four weeks, and then—then May began to ask herself what made the summer days ao short and plea* ant, and her heart answered, Carroll San derson. Believing him engaged to her namesake and friend, her loyal little heart was appalled to find she was growing to love Lis bright face, pleasant voice, and | lively manner. His position in society was defined by his admission to Mis. William's select circle. He was in busi m as in New York, and he certainly admired her. As she drew back, he became more earnest and pressing in his attention*, till the poor child resolved to run away and , get rid of him. It wax while srtair* w ere in this position that a di*cu*sion on the subjects of photograph* one evening called forth remark from Mr. Sanderson:— "I like vignette style be*t of all. 1 had some really good likenesses taken is that style last winter.

A NORWICH HAH who habitually drinks too much liquor, and falls asleep on the sidewalk, has a wonderful dog. When the man lies down and dozes, the dog takes him by the collar of his coat and gives a gentle pull. If the man gives a snore and a turn, but refuses to wake, his friend gives a more emphatic reminder of the necessity of moving .Then if the slee(>er does not awake, the dog takes a firm grip on some loose portion of his master's habiliments, and pulls him until he is fain to arise, shake himself, and wend his way homeward, followed by the watching eyes of his brute companion. The man ia somewhat deaf, and cannot hear when a knock is given on his door The dog, who sleeps near him, awakes at a summons for his master, pulls him until he awakens, and thus notifies him that he is wanted. - Gov. MEBBTLL, of lowa, made a visit to the State Prison, at Davenport, a short time since, and commeno-d an ad dress to the prisoners by saying " he was glad to see so many there." This rather dashed the spirits of the audience, who failed to applaud, and looked gen erally uncomfortable. The Governor, too, was not a little flustered, and, after an awkward pause, took back what he had sajd of gracefully aa possible.

All reports say it was unavoidable, bat ice-Watruen cannot ac oouut for it One of the boats Is-longed at Athena, and w as sailed by Ira Whiting, and tbe other belouged at Hudson, and was sailed by Walter Worth. Each luat had five or six occupants. They wore bound north, and rattling along at a very high rate of speed. Jacob Best, the young man who was killed, was on board of the Hudson 'coat, lying at foil length upon the wuiat-board on the windward side, the Hudson boat being ahead about one hundred feet. Suddenly oue of her runners struck iuto a crack in the ice, w hen the speed slackened at once, aud before the tiller-man of the Athens boat could see the danger, his vessel, which was humming along at the rate of forty miles an hour, dashed into tnc Hudson j boat. Her liowsprit struck young Best on the left breast, just above the heart, staving in his riba. He ciied, "Oh. dear ! ' ouce, gasped twice, and was u corpse. The escape of the other occu junits was simplv miraculous ; as it wus. they were not hurt in the least. When it is known that the hast move of the til ler of the liind boat would have avoided the accident, the case as it stands is u singular one. Oar Agricultural Report.

This cabin is circular in shape, and hung on gimbals at the centre, the point of suspension in the ship being so chosen that the cabin, us a whole, shall huve as little vertical motion as possible. A vessel is now be ing constructed to test the plan ; and if the actual experiment result satisfactor ily, it is believed that sea-sickness will be practically unknown during a voyage in a cabin of the new arrangement The Dvnter Artewlan Well.

TM CATTLE.—The precise MM tier iu which disease is communicated bj the Tftiuia tu our native cattle is yet ut on the cm**, they arc sure to take the disease. Thus showing that it ia not the eicro nient of, nor contact with the Texana that produce the disease Texana brought into the country in the winter, when they have no ticks, propoxate no diseaar. An old Texaa drover, who has lien in the cattle trade for thirty years, and who understands it thoroughly once told the writer of this that the •'disease** was owing solely to the treatment the cattle rooeri el. It ia known that Texas steer* in their home* are healthy and full of vigor Their meat ia tender— much more so than that of wiiat are called tame cattle. When the large drove ia .started off to be driveu North, there is no sign of disaaae ; but the cat tle arc huddled together in large drove*, are driven froift I'd to "JO mile* a day when H is the full extent they should lie forced. Their feed is different every section of country through which they ]MUIM- Their water, when they emu get any, change*. HtamjH-de* are only pre vented by the utmost can* and frighten ing the animal* until they tremble, and altogether the poor brutes are pushed through sufficient to change the whole direction of their lives. No wonder "dis ease" breaks out, in the hot aud stifling weather of the summer. Texas steers would lie pretty tough animal* if they could stand it all without Wing distem pered. When cattle are driven through a* they ought to be, and receive that care and attention on the road they deserve, there will be less disease among them. DIETETIC ADVANTAGES or BROWN BREAD. —The wheat grain consists chiefly of starch, cellulose, gluten, and water, with small quantities of fat aud earthy *ult*. and from one to two per cent, of a peculiar uitrogeuous substance called cere aline. These compounds are une qually distribute I throughout the struc ture of the berry. Examined with the microscope, each gnun is seen to be tuade up of four distinct conts or envelopes, surrounding a mans of cell*, filled with ntarch grain*. This collection of starch constitutes the cliief bulk of the grain, aud in the wrapping* external to it, are found the greater portions of the gluten, oilv matter, earthy salts, and eorraline. This Inst mentioned mhatanee posses ses the ]iower of transforming starch ra te sugar, and tlius liocome* an impor tant aid in tho process of digestion. But as wheat is ordinarily ground, the outer portions of the grain are separated as bran ; and ns tho more completely thev are thus removed, the fluer aud whiter will IH the flour, it commonly hnp]H>ns that most of the earthy or lxtne making constitui nts, much of the eorea line, aud fatty matter, and no inconsid erable jKirtiou of the gluten are lost with the bran. Iu the use of unbolteil or Graham flour, these are retained, and it ia thereby rendered not only more nu tritons, but by the presence of the ee realine also more digestible. How this substance ia affected by the prooea* of baking was long a matter of uncertainty; but from the experiments of Professor Attfield, as lately mentioned in the L/tnctt, it uppenrs that six-tentlis of the cercalinc remains in s solnablc condition in the bread, and is therefore free to ex ert its starch-changing power when taken into the atomaeh. DnxnrotnmHo REAL MM AI-PAREHT DEATH.—A new mode of distinguishing between real and apparent death has lx-en submitted to the consideration of the Academy of Medicine, in Paris. It consists in tlie insertion of n bright steel needle into the tmdy ; and it is said that wheb life ia present the needle soon be comes tarnished by oxidation ; while, on the other hand, if death hna taken place, the needle will retain ita brightness for half an hour or more. According to Dr. Laborde, the author of the comma uioation, oxidation, with ita attendant electrical phenomena, indicates that death is only apparent, and the entire absence of oxidation is a sign of real death. INTERNAL REVENUE.—Since the organ- i ization of the Internal Revenue Bureau in 180)2, until the first of January 1871, the full amount colh-ctod has been 1,482.000,000. Of this total, 81,387,- 000,000 was collected in the several dis tricts. The remainder, 885,000,000, is direct receipts from sale of stamps. Of the above total, one-sixth was collected from tux on spirits. Railroads furnished 831,000,000, while 1 Minks and incomes average 825,000,000 each. The New Euglaud and Middle States paid about 8900,000,000. New York furnished 8332,000,000, of which total New York City paid, in round numbers, $182,000, 1000. The Adiruture of Mr. Oilier.
