and the two years duriug which they had lain all

~Why was this parting r A hasty word, my
friend, nod each too proud to own the error
And they really loved? Really loved Let
me tell you all about it; a common story ; it is
happening about us every day
Miriam Day was a good girl, not an accom.
plished or brilliant one. She had a pretty fate,
a neat hand, and a quick but quiet movement;
there %Iraq no bustling about Miriam, and yet it
was impossible.to surprise her s with her house.

She was like the good business man, who sits at
his deft, or quietly moves about his duty. per
forming more by his mere presence than the blu't.
serer, who is everywhere, doing everybody's
work
Miriam Day was young—only seventeen—and
like all young people had more than a just idea
f her own sagacity: and so it was, one day, that
,'he met Harry Voorhes upon Broadway, walking,
and talking closely with a lady w.d
pveasy Wtten the brat sharp pang
.1 jealousy was over, she saw nothing but deceit
in the two long years that Harry Voorhea had
been pouring into ber ears the declaration that
be loved her better than all the world—better
than he ever had loved—better than he ever
would love,main.
Harry had not seen Miriam; and so Miriam
p ire. d on, nursing her wrath, and turning over
in her own mind what she would say to him that
evening when they should meet. That he was a
bade, deceitful man, she made no doubt The
lady was apparently an old acquaintance, or
should hav•• been, was plain from the familiarity
with which he treated her; and yet he had ire.
quently declared to Miriam that since Lib engage
went to her he had dropped all lady friends,
ev• n now, to the bowing ones• And, therefore,
when Harry Voorhes came in that evening the
conversation ran about this way Miriam did
not wait long :
"Did you have a pleasant walk, Mr. Voorhes?"
This was said with an assumed quietness, which
immediately instructed Harry in all the particu
lars, • lie knew there was jealousy, and as it
was a new thing he determined to indulge it for
a while.
Very pleasant, thank you," said Harry.—
" Did you ?" for he suspected Miriam had seen
him.
" And pleasant company?" said Miriam
" Very," answered Harry. " Did you? '
" Yes '
" abe said, with well-acted carelessness,
" I met Morgan upon Broadway "
" Morgan?"„ Harry threw an emphasis upon
the name that needs explanation.
John Morgan had been a friend of Miriam's
brother—a brother wild, in the recklenese of his
'associations, those associations that degrade the
finer feelings, bad not scrupled to bring to their
bumble home this John Morgan, a wealthy, but
disgraced and wharaeterleas man; he had come
seeking Miriam as a wife, from the belief that
such a marriage Would tend to elevate himself
in the eyes of the world, while he should be get
ting a young, nd pretty woman. Beyond this
John Morgan did not think. He was willing to
buy, and on that ground only he placed the trau
'motion. What was hisagreement with Miriam's
brother was a portion of the matter which re•
meined between these two. He came, saw,
quietly made his offer, was refused, and as quietly
withdrew. His diplomatist after this was
Miriam's brother, who lost no opportunity of
setting before her, in the most glowing colors,
the great advantages that would accrue to them
both from such a marriage, And this was the
John Morgan whom Miriam bad met upan Broad
way
But Miriam had spoken wrong. She had met
John Morgan, but no word had passed between
them, not even a recognition; and eke bad yield
ed so far to that find of jealousy that she had
given Harry to believe she had walked Broad
way with John Morgan, the man of all men he
most disliked; and this was why he had said with
so mach emphasis,
" Morgan!"
"Of course, Morgan," Miriam retorted
"W - hy should I not walk Broadway with a gentle
man as well as you with a lady?"
" With a gentleman, Miriam John Morgan
Is not a gentleman." ;
" Do you think you,_ would dare say that to
Mr. Morgan's facer
How the words stung! "Dare!" What could
there be worse than call him a coward? Miriam
did licit understand this, or, in the insanity of
woman's jealousy, she did not care, and Harry
gasped under the imputation, and sat silent
No passion eau au•burry a woman to sacrifice
as that accursed one of jealousy. A man under
the influence, listens, sees, and waits; a woman
strikes prematurely friend or foe, and the blows
recoil upon herself. Miriam bad struck a dead
ly one at Harry's pride, and he sat silent; man
like, he would not give a weak answer, and so
he gave hone; arid Miriam, woman like, followed
up her victory
" I presume Mr.' Morgan is u much a gentle.

And so Miriam thought: if he love' me, he
will come again and admit himself wrong; if he
does this, I will forgive him,—not without.
And the time went on. and Harry did net

part d. The weeks flew bl , the months flew by,
Mirittm grew paler, and mo ed about less lively
i
than ibeforc. ,She lacked t at smile that once
sat .4 well upon her Her tether, even, looked
at Miriam in sorrow, and oeised to press the suit
of Mi John Morgan. Some good natured friend
woula occasionally open the wound afresh by
telling Miriam how they had Seen Harry Voor I
hes, Ind how they thou , ht him much altered;
hcisr he was not so part .ular in his dress, and
lurked as though he mig . t be dissipated. Though
al this probed the woun., yet Miriam lial to

an: anger in her heart .gainst Harry Voorhes;
an' many a day now sb. held long debates with
be self whether P e shodd not summon him to

th re came in the woma.'s pride, stern to death;
an: •he lived on, living way her heart piece by
pi..e, until one bright ' claimer day she heard
tb t Harry Voorheshad sold out his business,
an left New York A.d then Miriam felt that
it as all over, and that f sbe eould have died,
thin) was no lack of will ogness on her part.—
Bdt she lived on, with a dead mind, no longer
the sprightly pretty Mi am of the days gone by,
but a quint, pallid girl, shunning society, and
thinking, thinking all ay long, how, for the
gratification of one m... nt of willful passion,
she had sacrifioed a wb. e life
It is a common story ardly worth the telling,
that Miriam went on ke.ping aloof from all those
things that would have 4istraeted her desire to
brood over the result oflher folly, and seeking
within herstilf compensation in thought and study
fur the society she ignortd And in the course
of years she began to locilt back upon it all as a
- dream, and feel that Abet had done wrong to visit
upon the world what wai alone her own fault, or
hi.; and gradually with this, she brought about
her some chatty friend, and opened again the

ttling of him, and long since had settled in her
mind his death in some of the remote mining
districts. Miriam was all, alone; she was fast
verging to more than old tnaidism. Thirty years
had passed over her, bile time and intercourse
with herself had stamped a serenity of beauty
far surpassing that of tli , •4ziri .1 s, genteel' It

we fear :he world is all alike, and Miriam Day
way but a type ~ f every woman, who, with a
heart I.) hie°, find- ner•elf at that critical age
alone; sou.whing there must be on which to
laii.t the wealth of affection, if it be only that
inw2h-je , red at p't of a§ hid maid, a poodle-dog.
Miriam was poll. / cointiaratively poor, and yet
rich. No embroidery wse like Miriam';; and
several lashiohablestaotishinents rivalled each
other in the bids fo her work; Miriam, there.
I
fore, did well with er labor She was a pet of
old Mr. Alison, who had been a_ friend of Miri
atn's mother, and with whim Miriam now lived,
feeling it home, as (eras one eo alone could have
a home, frt. Mr. Alilion was a good, motherly
woman; and Miriam sat in her little back room,
neat as a pin, and worlced away all day trying
to think of everything as pleasantly as possible,
and learning herself once more to sing and smile.
lu the altered ins. good Mrs Alison would coal
in end chat, and then they would call over a I
the oldeuittint when Miriam was a little girl, an
they wonld laugh at the droll memories of those
days,and" look sad and sigh over the more mature
recolectiins of later ones; and the good old lady
would de ail to Miriam all her domestic affairs,
and ask her advice as to what she should do
with thatltwopair front rooms! which remained
so long [Wet, and whether she did not think the
first hall Wonld look better with an oilcloth than
a carpet, and SII those little nothings that go so
far toward making pp a life. And so, as I said,
ttie ticqe slipp . ed away for Miriam, and she was
no longer young. Thirty is an important ige
for a Woman; she mutt make ber mark in life at
or before that period, or her opportunity is small;
and, therefore, Miriam had quietly settled down
into what might with certainty be called an old
maid.
Mrs Alison iad come in that identical after
noon to tell how she had let the two pair front
to a gentleman, with tt little child, ajsweet little
girl, said M e l,. Alison, five years old, i with black

Mrs. Alison!bad not shen the gentleman yet.—
But be wasqnquestintiable; she had' referred to

TURDAY MORNING, MARCH 5,1859.
*hob_ her ease was Marie—Marie Boreal Her
papa, Senor Boreal, was sick; so Marie said. He
was good, and she loved him very mueh. Maze
na was dead; mamma died at home. Where
was home? Home was at Lima; and this was
the little Marie's information to Miriam, and the
commencement of their acquaintance, or rather
say love; the child instinctively clinging to her,
and looking up in her face with an immediate
confidence. It was a delightful little affection
that sprang up between those two. Marie spent
all her time with Miriam, even as Mrs. Alison
declared, to the excitation of the jealousy of the
father, who, daily sending his respects to Marie's
newly constituted friend, hoped that she would
not let the little romp make herself too much at
home. And such panegyrics as Marie poured
out upon the head of Miss Mary, as she called
her. This being her oonstruotion of Mirry, the
name Miriam bore with Mes. Alison.
Snob a mixture of English and Spanish, laugh,
and baby talk. A rambling dissertation upon
the beautiful playthings. Miriam bad put the
child in possession of all the hoarded stores of
toys which, in girlhocid, hadlbeen her own. What
a capital hand Miss Mary was at playing hide
and•go-seek ; how well versed she was in all the
extraordinary tales about "Hey diddlirdiddle,
the cat and the fiddle," of which, until this time,
Marie had never heard, and all those other won
derful things that Miss Miry Gould do, and of
which little Marie entertained her father in a con
tinuous rattle, and then she flew to join her
friend again. And Mrs. Alison brought to Mire
lam the compliments of the Senor Boreal and
his request that as soon as he should be able to
leave his room, that be might have the honor of
paying his respects to the fair friend of his
daughter; all of which, Mrs Alison declared,
was evoke° in tiptop English, with which no
fault cold be founi, uncommon as the thing
might be, and so, bleu the men, if be was a
foreigner, and that dear little baby girl, which
so muob reminds me of my pelr dead and gone
Lizzie, for shortness on Elizabeth Ann, who
would be forty years old, come next March, if
she had lived; and he paying a month in advance,
just as if she had no confidence, which the Lord
forbid.
Marie under Miriam's tuition was improving
in her English. She could now begin to tell
Miriam about her home at Lima, and how she
once had a little brother who died, and a black
nurse, who wore such large ear rings, and who
cried so when Marie came away and went upon
her knees and begged to go with Marie, but papa
said no ! For why, Marie did not know, and all
this little prattle was delightful to Miriam who
grew younger under the companionship of Marie,
and always declared that hoe needle flew faster
through the silk to the musks of Marie's voice,
than when alone. Miriam too, became much in
terested in the invalid upstairs, even to a gene
eral superintendence under the seal of secrecy of
the numerous little jellies, and soups, that were
prepared for him, and an inquisition occasionally
of Dr. Wilson when they met, on the state of his
patient There was nothing the matter with the
gentleman the doctor declared, but the debilitir
fever, which time, and
good nursing would bring him over, with (of
coarse) the professional skill of Dr. Wilson
Mr. Foresi would do himself the honor if per
fectly agreeable; (and why nod) said Mrs. Ali
son of calling on Mrs. Mary that afternoon,
when he would be presented by Mrs. A. He
.was much better, looking Anise prink, and not
so bad looking to begin with, to say nothing of
his being mighty nice spoken,- and as beautiful
linen as ever she saw on the back of mortal man
for which them Spaniards was well known as they
deserved to be, for they had -plenty of money,
and no thanks to the kings, and queens, which
couldn't help the same, nevertheleii
And therefore the gentleman was to call upon
Miriam that afternoon, and Miriam east one'
two glances in the glass, and jest touched up her
hair the least bit, and then another dress, and a
small tura of quiet embellishment, and she sat
at the embroidery frame looking, as said Mrs.
Alison, "A perfect picture," though not so
young as she was onee't, and therefore more to
be thought on as approaching the gentleman's
age, for which happy consummation no one wish
ed so much, as herself, and would pray night and
day, gracious knows, for Mirry deserved all the
good luck an.old woman to whom she was more
than a daughter wished, and so Lord bless 'em
all. And Miriam looked very solemn over all
this, and bent down over her work, and ran her
mind back through all the vista of years, and
thought, and gave one little sob internally to the
memory of Harry Voorhes, as a tap came to
the door and the gentleman came in leading lies
tie Mary, who dropped his band on the instant
and ran to Miriam. Mrs. Alison had but just
began her introduction in most flowery firm,
when she was startled to such a degree that her
spectacles flew, as of their/own violation, half
across the room, for Miriam had startled from
her seat, overturning the embroidery frame, and
with half a scream, half an exclamation, said—
" Harry 1"
While the gentleman, with both hands for an
instant clenched, and held to his breast, repood
ed "Miriam," and before Mrs. Alison could con•
elude whether it was best to feint, or call the po
lice, they were in each other's arms, Miriam cry
ing aa though her heart would break, and the
gentleman saying, "What do you think? Why
just the funniest thing iA the world, and yet the
moat natural."
81 Miriam darling, it was my sister, my sister
Miriam whom I had not seen so long."
And then Miriam cried, and sobbed worse
than ever, and so did Mrs. Alison, and Marie,
though it was all (}reek to them. And Mrs. Al.
icon picked up her spectacles, and wiped them
instead of her eyes, sad took up little Marie io
her arms, and commenced an immediate search
in her pocket for something to give the child,
and finding nothing else bestowed her ancient
silver thimble on Marie in a great hurry with
many kisses.
The nest hour, when Mrs. Alison took little
Marie down stairs on a promise of unlimited nuts
and raisins, was a marked hoar in the life of
Harry and Miriam. All those thirteen years, a
lifetime, passed away like a mist, and they stood
together again as they had stood in the early
days; still Harry, and still Miriam; older, but
wiser, ohasteued, but true. A love had come
between Miriam in a far distant land, but Miro

Mrs. Alison when asked, consented; declaring
that the mercies of Providence was everywhere,
for which it was impossible to account. And to
think that be wasn't a Spaniard after all—an
other thing to show Providence has its eyes every

In the terrible battle of Moline del Bey, which

Graham was ordered ap from the reserve to ferry

raised a hurrah, it is said, and dashed ahead. As
they dashed along over the bodies of their fallen
comrades, the butt hies opened, tearing their

with smoke. "Forward ! Forward I" cried Col a

Three days after &pinking the Mews letter in
the Union Square Poodle% Mr. Defoe sailed at
the Broadway 'Bee sad' found a reply awaiting
him. Is was written in a nest, plata hand, and
the purport of it was, gam Ems Belly wee oarl

letter, "on the left hand side, take • newspaper
in your hand and read; so I may knew yen.—
When I enter, I will teeortise yea with • sod;
then, please, some and sit by me."
A few minutes before the sppolated time, Mr.
Defoe, having provided himself with a newel
paper, west to the place designated, took a seat
as requested, and sommensed - reediag. He SOP
observed a yeas, ma eater, walk DIM him, and
look annoyed at his preemie. Filially, however,
the stranger sat down immediately to front of
him, and with many looks expressive if "what

"Unfortunate," thought Mr. Defoe. "If this
fellow keeps on reading, she may mistake hiss
for myself. However, when she sees he does
not recognise her, sbe will try me."
While these thought' were passing through
his mind, an elderly gentleman, with a very red
nose, also earns up, and polit ely requested Mr.
Defoe to go forward and give him the lest he
oesupied. "I would not ask It, sir," he added,
"had I not partiealar reason, whisk - I need sot
explain, for doing so."
"And I," rejoined Defoe, "would not deny so
reasonable a request had I sot particrelar reasons
which I need net explain, for doing se."
The elderly patient's seemed a good deal
disappointed, but taking the last meeeipied seat
back, also took oat a paper and oommeneed red

With regard to this " Honey Blade Gras,"'
we will make a statement or two, sad hereafter,
if it be necessary, show up the parties who in,
engaged in it, particularly the prime movers is'
Bt. Louis, and this city. It amounts te simply
this: A species of Millet, said to have originals
ly oome over from Hungary in theof as
"exile," has been propagated at s he west for
several years under the name of “Hangariest
Grass." This last name has bemuse so common
that we have used it in designating the article.
It is grown like the old millet from whisk it
does not materially differ, and like the okl kinds
may be cultivated for the ripened used. or est sp
green and cured as hay or straw for feeding. If
ripened for seed, the straw is probably about as
good for feeding as well cured oats straw--per
haps a trifle better. We have for many years
advised farmers to grow the ordinary millet fee
seed, and especially as a soiling estop---that is,
to be cut green and fed either green or is a dried
state.
The "Hunpriad Grua" has become so 'rids.
ly disseminated, that the seed is sow abundant
and could reoently be obtained as low as it a
bushel. Wishing some to distribute to swab et
our distant subscribers as might desir' • to try a
little of it, we engaged a dealer is this city to
procure a lot of as pure and good quality as be
