Mr. Swayne granted himself a rule to con sider in his own mind what the lawyers meant by their certain phraseology It did not Mean, he concluded, that Messrs. F. and G. were wil ling, for ano hundred pounds, to renew the life of Mr.'Queelis, of Edirioniltop ; but it did mean that lie must turn out of the honse and grounds ..(eildch had been Swayno's Nursery Garden for three generations pest,) unless he would pay a large fine for the renewal of his leave. He was-but a young fellow of five and twenty; who, until recently, had been at work for the support of atohl father and mother. His mother had been dead a twelvemonth last Midsummer day; and his father, who had been well while his dame was with bini, sickened after she was gone, and died before the apple gathering was over. Tho cottage and the gar den were more precious- to George as a home than as a place of business. There were thoughts of parting—like thoughts of anoter loss by death, or of all past losses again to be suffered freshly and together—which so cloud ed the eyes of Mr, Swayne, that at last he could scarcely tell when-be looked at the let ter, whether the beo was •or was hot a portion of the writing. . An old woman came in, with a Midsummer cough ; sounding as hollow as an empty coffin. She was u poor old creature who came - to do for.

When he was shown into Mr. Flint's room, Mr. Flint could on , y repent, he said, the instructions of the landlord. " You see, my lad," ho said. these hold ings, that have been let hitherto for thirty pounds per annum, are now worth fifty. Yet my client, Mr. Crote, is ready to renew the lease for three more .11ves at the very slight find we have named to you. What would you bare more reasonable ?" Sir, I make no complaint,'!

I make no promise, but I think I can persuade Mr. Crete to let you retain possession of ydur land, for—shall we any?— two years, at the rate of fifty pounds; and, at: the expiration of that term, you cony perhaps be able to pay the fine and renew your lease." '• I trill accept that Offer, sir." A home spun man clings to . the walls of home. Swayne's nursery would not support so high a rental ; but let the future take thought for itself—to postpone for two years the doom to quit the roof-tree under which his mother suckled him was gain enough for George. So he turned homeward and went cheerfully upon his way by a abort cnt through narrow stree t ts and lanes that bordered on the Thames. Ills gardner's eye discovered all the lonely lit .tle pots of mignonette in the u upper windows of the tottering old houses ; and in the trim mer streets, where there were rotes of little houses'in all shades of whitewash, some quite f esh-looking, inhabited by people who had kept their windows clean, lie sometimes saw es many as four flower pots on silo winduiv bill. Then, there were the squares of turf, put, in weekly instalments of six inches, to the credit of caged larks, fur the slow liqui dation of the debt of green fields due to them, There were also parrots; for a large number . , of the houses in those streets were tenanted by sailors who brought birds from abroad.— There were also all sorts of grotesque shells ; and one house that receded from its neighbors had a small garden in front, that was sown over with shells instead of flowers. The walks were bordered with shell instead of box, end there were conches un the wall instead of wall-flowers. The summer house was a gr,t it; but the great centre ornament was a large figure•head, at the foot of which there was, iv bench erected, so that the owner s t under its shadow. It represents a man witht a griNv A beard, holding over his eholder 0 large three-1 pronged foi k.; which Georg , believed to be meant for Neptune.

Though the window of one house that was very poor, but very neat and clean, ho saw put upon the table to catch the rays of. of the summer sun, a strange plant in blos som, It had a reddish stalk, small-pointed leaves ; and from every cluster of lenses hung a elegant red power -bells with purple tongues. That plant excited him greatly; ,and, when 'he stopped to look in at it, he felt some-such emo tions as might stir an artist who should see a work by Rubens hung up in n pawn4woker's show-window. He knocked at the green door and a pale girl opened it, holding a pigce of unfinished needlework. Her palene's left her ' for a minute, when site 'saw that it was a stranger who had knocked.

' The girl looked in the xrcatest astonish ment.—" Ten guineas ffehe Dried, " why mo ther, ten guineas would make you comfortable for the whole winter. How glad Harry will be!"

But the loving accents of the girl debating with her mother tenderly, caused Mr. Swayuc—a stout and true hearted young fellow of twenty-five—to feel thai. there were certainly sotne new thoughts and sensations . working in him. Be considered it important to discover from her mothe'r's - Manner of ad: dressing he'r that the flame of the young wo man was Susan. When the old lady at last consented with a sigh to George's offer, he placed ten guineas on the ,table beside the needlework, and: only stole one glance at Susan us be bade them good-bye and took the flower pot away, promising again earnestly that lie would bring back to them the first good cut ting that took root. George Swayne then, having the lawyers almost put out of his head, carried the plant home, and duly busied himself in his green• house over the multiplication of his treasure. Months went by, during which the young gar dener worked hard and ate eparingly. :110 had left to himself but five pounds 'for the general maintenance of his pardon; more was needed, and that he had to piush, r.; far as he dared, out of his humble food and other neces saries of existence. He had, hokever, nothirig to regret. The cuttings of the flower.belh throve, and the thought of Susan vas better to, him than roast beef. Ile did not again visit the widow's house. He had no right to go there, until he went te'retleem his promise. A year went by ; and whei die next July came, George Stva'yne'e garbeiat and green houses were in the best condition. The new plant had multiplied by slips and had-thriven more readily thou he could have ventured to expect. The-hest plant was set by until it should have reached the utmost perfection of blossom, to ,bo carried in redemption of to promise made to widow Ellis. In some vihua way, too, Mr. Swayne now and,then pondered whether the bells that was to sot ringing after Harry had returned might not bo after all the hells of Stepney parish church. And Susan S Wayne did sound well, that was ctrtain. Not that he 'thought of marrying the pale girl, whose blue eyes he had only seen once; but he was a young follow,-and he thought about her, and young 'follows have their fancies which do now and then shoot out in 'lnnocenti'. abledirections. A desired event happened one morning. The best customer of Swityne's nursery-ground the wife of a city knight, Lady Salter, who had a fine seat iii the neighbeihood; alighted' from her carriage from the garden gate. She had come to buy flowers for the decoration of her annual grand summer party ; and George with much perturbation ushered her into his green-house, which was glowing with the crimson and purple blossoms of his new plant. When Lady Salter had her admiration duly 'heightened by the information that there were no other plants in all the country like them —that, in fact, Mr. Swayne's new flowers were unique—she instantly bought two slips ht a guinea each, and took them home in tri umph, Of course the flower-hulls attracted the attention of her guests ; and of course she was very proud to draw attention to them. The result woe that the corriageo of the great people of the neighborhood so clogged up the road at SwaYnc's nursery,'day after day, that 'there was no getting by for them. George sold, for a guinea each, all that ho hid potted; keeping only enough for the continuance of his trade, and carefully 'reserving his finest specimen. That In due time be took to Har ty's mother. The ten guineas added to the produce of ;Susan's labour—she had not slackened it ajot ~.had maintained the sickly woman throitgh the winter ; and, when there came to him a letter .ine morning in July, in Harry's dear scrawl, ;posted from Porthamouth, she was half restc i.ed to health. lie would' be with them in a lay or two, he said. The'two womon listened f la a feverish state for every knock at the green door. Next day a knock, came ; but it was'nt (tarry. Susan again opened to GeorgeBwayne.

MT FIRST SHAVE. 0 I shall not very soon forget my first share. I was but fifteen, tall, had a • girl,' and felt myself m I was taunted with fact that I was very at tentive to a certain ycung lady and yet woe a mere beardless hoy. My.pride was wounded. and I determined that the accusation should not be a trite bill. ?/1 month's saving of pocket money secured mo a razor, a brush, and the "•fi yens." The latter was till correct ; but the man took me in by selling me that razor. It had the name of " Rogers, Sheffield," upon the glittering blade bet it is my firm belief that it should have borne the name of "Snooks, Philadelphia ;" and that it was manufactured from nn old iron hoop. My - Ain was as fair and smooth as that 'tin infant. On a certain day I stole up in my chamber, locked the door,. and prepar ed for the razorical triumph. Collar and cravat (Were, removed; the lather was mode and applied to my face. So fir so good. Then came the razor's duty. For many days previ ous I had been studious of barbers shops, end now I imagined that the mystery of the hair scythe was mine. Scratched? No heir came, hut I thought the akin did. However; the Inthet• woe suclessfully remove,: from the one side of my ftt . ce, and to my exceeding great joy, n few hairs 'were perceptible without n microscope. Suddenly just as I was engaged in scraping the point of my chin, some one rapped at the door, and alarmed My hand into a jerlc--n gash saw cut where the hair should film been —the razor fell, and in n.few seconds, the lather and blond were mingled over my face and in my mouth. The:cut was severe. I was boy enough lo call out for pain, and thus-the tabby was permitted to flee from the bag.— '" Whiskers," became my nickname for years after.

"11orvcver, lorns pause over It. and lake It down lowly, as the hays do the ylpplas to the orchard." Thcro are memories come clustering about less "boys" these "pippins" and "the -or- lard." Do you remember the old Cider mill friend 111argine, and the old horse as he travel ed round and round, moving et slow and dig nified tread,"hitched" to the long lever Oft turns the wooden mill, that crushed the apples into pumice! Do you remember the great • cheese' in its bandage of straw beneath the press, and how, when the great waive were turned in the massive gnllows-shaped frame, the rich juice of the apple came gushing out . and running into the great tub placed to re ceive it ? Do you remember bow, with a straw, the Urchins, as they came along on their way borne from school filled themseles with sweet cider from the bu of the barrel ?• Do yen remember how, in the long winter nights you sat around the fire place, wherein logs were blazing. and how the pitcher of cider, and the platter of doughnuts were placed upon the old cherry table that set out in the middle of the kitchen, and how you helped yourself to the cider and the doughnuts, and how happy each ono was as he sat with hie pewter mug of cider in one hand and a doughnut in the other, be fore that old-fashioned kitchen fireplace? These were pleasant itimes. But they nre memories now. And then the apple parings or " bees," as they were called, when yoting men and maidens came together to pare apples, and talk and laugh, and play old-fashioned plays, and say soft things to one another, and eat pumpkin pies, and be happy after the fashion of the country people when you and I were young. Primitive times those were, Margins, and our proud daughters and city dames would turn up their noses hugely wete they to be present at an old-fashioned apple bee, such as they used to have out in old Steu ben when the country was new, and the fashionS were primitive. We remember, when we were young, there was a. favorite tree in our father's orchard which bore choice winter apples. It was called the big tree, because it was the . 11trgettt In the orchard. The fruit of this tree was (a rrays left until the last, and was gathered with great care. There was a worthless fellow living in the neighborhood who one year cov eted a portion of the fruit on the " big tree," and was not deterred from its acquisition by the divine commandment, "thou shalt not steal." A quantity of the apples disappeared one night, and the tracks of whoever stole them bail a strange resemblance to those made by the heelless boots of our dishonest neigh bor. There were two inseparable friends cn the old homestead in those early days.; the ono a " colored gentleman," by the name of I shadrach, who came to our father's possession in payment for a debt; and who ran away regularly two or three times a year, and then as regularly ran back again, just as his mantel' began to indulge the hope that he had got rid of him for good. The other was a great thig, half mastiff and half bull, of a noble presence and fettt.les.l courage. •• Drive" and "Shad rack" were inseparable.

On their return the dog dashed off through the orchard, end in a minute or two commenced barking, and Shad 'ltch of course supposed he had treed a coon, on ono of the fruit trees. Nov, Slrolrtich had ati abiding faith in spirituel manifestations, and stood in mortal fear of the " gentleman in black," and all manner of spooks in general. Upon arriving at the big tree, by the foot of which Drive sat, and looking up among the branches, he saw there in the darkness a great black object, with something which seemed like a winding sheet in its band. Shadrach's hair begot to uncurl as ho looked, and halloo- ' ing 'seek him' to Drive, broke like a quarter nag for the house. Ile bolted into the kitchen, exclaiming, "Masse, Mrysa!
