Miss Leonard's Farin, and how She Managed it. BY A. M. LOVERING. Miss Fannie Leonard turned very pale, and dropped the letter which she had been reading, from her nerveless . hands. Looking the whole- world over, at just that moment, one would scarcely have found a more. frightened or surprised per son• than was this same Mis, Fannie. ider eyes—large and exceedingly blue— were distended half - way from her head; her mouth—quite broad, but very rosy— was wide apart; her curls—a brown, silk • en cluster back of either car—treTbling as though they were at a frolic watt the wind. Miss Leonard had fallen into possess ion of a fortune! Not a large one, ac cording to the world's reckoning, but to her idea, one that was surprisingly vast. The young lady bad had a rough time of it with life. By this Ido not mean that she had ever been a street beggar ; but at txn early age she had been left fatherless and niotheiles.s—to look out and shift for herself in the world. Not being content ed to sink down with the ignorant masses, and having quite an idea of educating herself, she found she had something be sides play before her. At twenty-five (for it'takes time to work these changes,) she was a well informed and genteel ap pearing-lady, and but for a certain sharp ness which comes from hard•contact with he world, and an occasional show of bit terness, which seldom finds its way into the hearts of the home sheltered, one, would not have suspected that her walks' in lite had led her in any other than the most refined circles. Eff2E13378 But no Miss .Leonard bad a fortune —a farm of some forty acres but a few miles removed from the pretty inland city of M--, among the hills of New Hamp shire. "That farm," so wrote the legal gentleman who had managed her eccen tric relative's affairs for years. "needs the immediate care of some one; and it is my advice that you should take up your res idence there at once." Blessing her deceased uncle for his kind.theinory of her, and dropping a few tears for .something, she hardly knew what, Miss Fannie went about athering up her little stook of movables which 'heretofore had included her whole stock of worldly goods. This was no great task. She had a box of books which must be carefully pa.:ked—a black silk dress which must be folded so that it would not Wrinkle—beyond this there wasn't much to care for. In a .mat vel ously short space of time, she was on her way to feeling a little lonely, per haps, but strangely independent. Whether to laugh or cry, she did not know, when the coachman set her down at the door of her new home. She thought she had never in her life before looked upon so comical a house—one patched up Debotco fo 121.1INIPlas of Dile , DJ11100:4q, Diseli)ifriiioli of Tijohiitu, 110 ifeWS. POETRY. TO CAROLINA hC ONE OF ITER SISTERS COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1861. in so many different styles, as though the builder had been intent upon pleasing a score or more• of persens, each one differ ing-essentially from .the other- in taste. In front there were large trees; and over the windows looking upon the road, scrag gy rose bushes , and vines ,hung, matted together in - a.solid mass p_fleaves. The front door, which she approached with some" trepidation, had the appearance of being newly painted, and what to - her seemed exceedingly ludicrous,- its color was bright yellow, which contrasted viv idlywith the sombre gray of the house. • " The old people were inakiiig repairs.," she said to herself as she-raised the knock er and gave a heavy rap. . • The old people were a worthy couple who had served her uncle fur years, and who ,would look to her for a - otne—so said the legal gentleman—during the re mainder oft, - ..ieir tiles. " You are Mrs.- Dearborn, I believe," said-Fannie to the old lady, as she'. made her appearance, " and I am. Miss Fannie Leonard. I have come to live with you." So saying,.Miss Leonard walked into the house like one having a right. She had, indeed, and she was not (timid. From that moment she was perfectly at home. The morning following she went over the house. She was a neat, tidy person age herself, and consequently was not pleased with what she, saw. She was a little nervous too; and- as the old lady threw open doors and closet; displaying grimly paint in one direction, and cob webs, dust, and rubbish in another, she was obliged to exereise4!considerable self eetnmand to keep- from" speaking about it. But finally, she did 'wilt was a great deal wiser—put on an old dress and webt, to cleaning. She louked her bands at first (she had kept them very' pretty and delicate in spite of explthing,) but a second - glan - q , at the -paint determined her. - - Now that-very afternoon, Miss Fannie Leonard met with a. sad mishap. She was cleaning paint in what had been her uncle's room, a quaint little place with a low, wide window reaching to the around, at the back,af the .house, and as often as she wished to change the water in her basin, threw it out upon a path That ran near by. The last basin of water she threw into some one's face. She started back and clapped her hands. "-Mr. Dearborn 1" she exclaitned, try inae' to control her laughter. Looking out of the window for- the space of half a minute, Miss Leonard. saw her - mistake. A stranger stood in the path, wiping the dirty water from his . eyes and mouth. The young lady - could not think of a single Word to say. But the gentleman _remarked quietly i .raising his eyes, " Clean water next time, if you please." " Certainly, sir," answered Miss Leon ard, suddenly findina r' her - tongue. She was too red to apologise, and arching her neck, she turned straight to her work again It was not long before Mrs. Dearborn camo to her saying that Mr. Cauldwell was in the „sitting room and wished to see her. Mr. Cauldwell I" repeated Fannie, blushing. " Yes, the gentleman who had helped work her uncle's farm for a number of years past. Ile wanted to see her about it," After this_ explanation she ry as as ig norant as ever; but on entering the room sho was evidently a little wiser. .This was the gentleman whom she bad treated to the contents of her wash basin, a few moments before. She returned his bow as coolly as she could, and seated herself waitin ,, r . to hear what lid ; had to say to her. ,13ut he did not seem in aliurry to tell Kis business. lie wandered about from one subject to another, talking in a pleasant, easy way, of this and that—in fact everything, Fannie thought, brit what be came to talk about. At last he . hit-upon the farm. He would let his men carry it'on for her, if she pleased, just .as they had done fur years past fur her uncle. " And how was that? " she asked. lie smiled at the .question as though he thought it an esceediagly absurd one, but proceeded to answer it with tolerable race. Miss Leonard was piqued. Tie had the Tight .of it she knew. his drainage explat.ation, and long liar:move upon pas turing, together with a quantity of trash about potatoes, oats and corn, was like so much Greek to her. But she listen ed to it . very attentively, and - bowed knowingly. when he liniAted speaking: " You uiderstand, I suppose ?" he ques tioned. 0, yes !" Fannie answered, telling as big a lie as she possibly could. . "That I wish it was all at the bottom of the - tied Sea," she wanted .to say—for her brain was sorely puzzled. But in stead, she thanked him as well as she could, for his kindoess, - and informed him that she thought she wouli be able to manage the farm herself. Mr..oaUldwell-Smiled again, and hiss Leonard thought to herself :that be was the most-disagreesble man She had suet in all her lifetimue. • .Now I pray; my reader not to Think my heroine. was a foolish, or senseless girl; on the contrary,,she Possessed more than au ordinary share of ctimmon sense. But somehow she had' taken it into her head that Mr. p: Wished to! advance his own interest, rather:thau hers. "If there is anything which I can do to assjst you; Vshall be pleased to do it," said Mr. Cuu'dwell, rising to go. "My place joinsyen, •may 'have been told." . . Miss Leonard thanked' him, but hop ed that she should not be obliged to . trouble hith much. - So ended the young lady's first intelwiew with her gentletnan, ly but slightly Oelreoneeited neighbor. After this she directed her attention to farming. She was persevering, and did.not rest until she had' her: spring's work done.. Ti.iswas accomplished some tine in the summer. Her harvesting Would come in the dead of winter, she concluded,-witli the men she hired to do her planting. But her greatest pride was in her gar chit ; and a well stocked one it was too, full of cherry treei, current, bushes and strawberries and blackberries. In the meantime; Mr.. Caullwell watched 'het with curious eyes.. He had never before in his life met With :so strange and so self willed a young -lady. , Although klie amused him, be could not help admiring her indomitable perseverance and hide peudeuce. But a cloud came gradually upon Miss Leonard's mind. This was -the Cloud : Mr. Cauldwell's liens , scratched in her garden.' They had that privilege for years, and' good Mr. Dearborn did not think it, could be restricted. "Mr.Vauldviell must shut up his hens,' Fannie sUid'clesing her pretty lips firmly together. - 1%.1r. Cauldwell was soon in - pOssession of a neatly written note which informed him as nolitelyO and decisively as possible that his hens must lse kept at home.' He did not reply, this angered "Miss Leonard considerably. "Of course he thought I was not worth his notice I" she said. curling her pretty lip. But if he did not shut.his Jictis up, she'd— She concluded the sentenoti with, a significant nod,of her head., The next day the hens scratched in her garden as,usual. Seeing them from her window.shc bade Mr. Pearboru bring her his gun. It Was an old fusee and so heavy that she could hardly raise, it.— But she took aim at the flock- of hens, and while they scattered itione direction, the old gun kicked her in another. Mr. Cauldwell saw the whole performance through the feime. 'Looking about her, she'saw that the leader of the flock was lying dead among the cucumber vines. She came to a resolution instantly. She would toss it over the fence. This she did with considerab:e force, and it fell at Cauldwell'S feet. "Thank you-l" was the cool answer. "You are quite welcome, sir," retorted Fannie, walking away. Two hours litter her neighbor made his appearanec'at the kitchen door with a well dressed fowl. in- his hand. " - Lie hoped Miss Leonard would accept it ! he thought it would be palatable.-- He believed Mro. Deal:born was a rare hand at cooking chickens." Miss Leonard laughed in spite of herself. She was amused-,-,troubled and vexed. In an undertone, She gave vent to her feelings a curt French sen tence. Mr. Cauldwell was quick of. hearing. In the same tune and language he answer ed her. . "Tit for tat," thought... Fannie, hdr cheeks flushim She "wished that orli ous,Mr. Caulfwell would stay at home; he was the pest of her life." But she said she "hoped he would call upon them Whenever be Wished anything done in the cooking line. She should think it would he very disagreeable: fora gentle; man to prcnare his own meals." Mr.-Cauldwell opined his. eyes ,very wide. Was it possible that hlis Leo nard thought he did his Own cooking-- he, a gentleman who could count his possei.sions by ,thousands ! His' pride was aroused: lie was toe indignant for a moment, to answer; anti too indignant to correetthe impression which he seemed to have made. "He thanked her, and would remem ber her promise. - 1 -le persumed he should be pleased to test the genuineness before This he said looking her straight in the face; Fannie winced.. There was so much insinuated in, his gniet i hutdeep tone: For the next :week, Fannie avoided her neighbor. She did not knoW wity—it was a sort of instinct with her. At the expiration 'of' this time she received a note from 143,:!asking her over to his house to tea. She did not wish to go, but bad no esciise for'declining his court• eous invitation; consequc.ntly she was obliged to accept.

He did this as though conscious of ibis superior-perform ance-for he could not help knoWing what every person was so soon assured of. But Fannie was, piqued by his-man ner. Did he think her a novice.? Did he think shehad neVer 'seen a piano be fore ? Evidently sO,.by the w4' that he turned iron it when he Initifinighed play• ing. Now Fannie .was no mean per former, and she lad a voice as sweet, rich land clear as a lstnig. sparrOw. She could not brook Mr. ICauldwell's slight. "You have g•atified me, 13 me endea vor to repay you;" ,said - she, bowing and stepping toward the piano. . • . There was a wide awake flash in her eyes; as she said thisl—a pretty arching of her white, slend4lneek. Mr. Caul& well • turned around • with evident sur prise. . • • He said "lie knew Miss Leonard could fire a gun -very well, but he was not aware • that she was a runsiman: She did not ansiver him but touching the keys with her (light skillful fingers. ran through a difficult opera song with the most perfect 'correctness.

Whether a wise one or not, I leave it for• some one else to- determine. The nest day Miss Leonard's cattle made sad havoc With Mr. Cauldwell's corn. He wrote lip -a note informing her of the fact. She put-on her bonnet and went over to see him about it. She carried' her purse on her arm. 1 ! "She could 'pay for the damage done by the cattle," she', said to herself. Mr, Cauldwell Was astounded: "He did-not sell his corn-fodder in any such way," be said lauU,l4ng "Ile should shoot her cows if She did not keep them at home," he rogui'shlv added. She hoped he would do so; but she should not be as generous as he had been --that is, she should pot present him with his game! "That would not be very generous af ter all," he retorted laughingly "since 1 have no cook. - Arid that made him think of her promise. - Didn't she tell him that she would cook for izi whenet•er he wisl.- ed her to ?" She' was caught there. How she blushed over it. Mr'. Cauldwell was not at all merciful ; he went ou talking re gardless of her bushes. He said he had ""come to the conclu sion that they would, do well.to, work in partnership. Ile thought her a very poor farmer—he was sure ha 'was a poor houskeeper, - She made an effort to slip past him out of the duor as be said this, but he caught her hand. -'"Ilow shall, it be?`' he asked holding . her firmly..
