His pick was' on his shoulder; so was ' his old wool hat, for he thrust it far back froin Ws wrinkled front. Caspar had a' bend, as 'if he had been half persuaded these many yearat.o go on hands and knees again; so. heavily time sat on his back, and so close to earth did his daily labors draw him, He was a good-natured, trotting 'old fel low, working his mouth eagerly and strain ing his bleared eyes as he approached the towns draggled skirt, for very thinking of his folks—his "old woman" and his "little There were many rows of dismal frame huts all around built by railroad companies for the penning of as many of their em ployees' families as possible. They reposed, grimy and barren-like, squat on that sandy foundation which scripture condemns, swarming with legions of tallow-headed children. Women, sharp at the elbow and sharper at the face, were raising clouds of pork smoke from their respective kitchen altars. In fact the whole neighborhood reeked with the smell of grease, and the evening was so. warm the a Laplander might have resented it. But Caspar's nose was not delicate. Ho trotted over .the cin der sidewalk, nodding this way and that, glad that there was such a fine air, and that' his old bones were so near home. " That's the little gal, as ipual," he chuck led as he turned a corner and found Madgie on her lookout at the gate. She was a com forting sight to see in that neighborhood, so tidy and fair in calico and braids and with the pink flesh color of youth. You wonder why she hadn't been sent farther up town and draped, in something costly; why her deft lingers had never learned that there were • ten keys to .unlock a soul that slum, hers in rosewood, and which rises at a toucji, like some blessed genii,' to Comfort all the ills and fill all thoughts; you wonder : why some some high-bred father was not coining home to her now. But then-this old • man found it so bard to do without her. Then, to; Madgie might never in ber life have struck, the royal beltrt that was her brads. Mita ti she held in her mink against the future, an the interest of which is the only income she wanted. "There you are, grandpat" Cried Madgie. " Yes, and there you are, Madgie. And here we both are, Madgie," entering the open gate and putting down his pick. Ile put his hands on each side of her head; and gave her a sounding smack on the cheek. TRUMAN & CO. " Supper is ready." " Yes, yes. Jist wait till I get a 'little of the smut off my hands and neck. It's been a powerful hot, (*sty day." Caspar trotted through the little, barn al lotted to him, hailed his old wife, who sat ready to pour Out hiS tea; and'after blowing and plunging through a- deal of water, re turned to' his family with shining counte nance and a handful of onions. fist pulled these up for a relish.

Sort of seem' your work go to pieces under your own eyes, and linowin' the-dahger to them on that road." ". What do 'you mean, grandpa?"! said Idadgie, turning as white as her bread And butter. "why, honey, you see that we have pick ed and Lacked io that cut, 'and she's , as un steady as water. The stones and earth fist roll on'the track contineral. The company ought to do sotnethin' to that cut. Stones as big as you in jarred down every train.— But then the road's new, the road's new yet." "Men ain't got no sense," broke out the old wife. " Don't you see you're akeering .that child to death for fear Charley'll get sina.shdd - upY You know lie runs on that road." Two blades of keen remorse leaped from Caspar's bleared eyes. " Now don't yon be ekeered, honey.— Take an ingen, honey;" and he reached over to pet her fingers. Charley didn't, pass to day when the dirt was rattlin' downso: lic don't pass till half past eight this evening, and we left the track as clean as • this table. Yes, the rails are es free and bright 'its neW, tin pans. So don't you be sheerekil'oney." "I'm not scared about anything, grand ma," said Madge tremulously,' but smiling like a rainbow. "There, now, mother," cried Caspar tri umphantly, returning to his onious " you have come down, on me for nothin'. She_ ain't sheered a bit." No, riot a bit. She flew about the room like a bird, washed the" earthen war bro't her graudfathgr his pipe; and dropped at his feet to tell him some funny story afloat: In' his enjoyment he Wrapped himself in such . 4 cloud that:she cottld hardly see the' ci e ek.' Madgic slipped out to the gate. , She was often there looking up the road: - The two old people sat inside thinking of the days when they were yoling. - She was restless, and tlittedover the cin der sidewalk, following' a magnet- which would have drawn her frorw, the center of the earth—to, the road, of course. , how often she had watched the'ruils, converging horizonward " until they . sharpened" Ahem, selves to needle point!

Mudgie's pink face took- on roses as she thought of all these thing's, looking up and down the cut to see if -the track was clear, as-hergrandfather had said. It was clear. She felt relieved, yet. foolish about coming out there through the twilight to spy for Chtwley's welfare, and -much inclined too ' .hide from the smoke afar ofl'.

Madgie watched them jealously.— Just,as the thunder of the train could be heard, her heart stood still to see them dis solve, like pillars ground down by some ma licious Sampson, and piled upon the track till nothing cduld - be seen for yards but a long bill of earth and stones. Now, little Madgie; if there is heroism in you it must meet and lasso that iron beast whirling a hundred people upon death! A hundred! The whole world was in the en gine house, driving down fast upon that tale! He 'would not try to save himself when he came upon the life-trap. Sbesaw bow be would set his lips and bend nerve and brain to the emergency; she saw how car would crush Into ear, the wreck lie over a burning engine, and Charley. be ground and charred under them all! Oh; sublimely selfish woman! She flew over the track like a thing of wings. It was life and Charley, or death with Charley!—• The head-light flashed up through the dusk. There were matches in her pocket; she scratched them on a rail and tore off her apron. Ohl they wouldn't ignite, and the cotton would but. smolder. It is rolling down on'her as swift as air. Bless the loom that wove' the cloth which made the cotton apron! She tossedit, blinking and blazing, above her head, walking slowly backward. The red-eyed fury roared down at her; but you - can't terrify a woman when her mind Is made up. It should run over her before it should reach the sand heap. She was seen. The engine rent the eve ning with its yells, (the Drakes were on—her lasso had caught it,) but could not be stop ped In time. She darted aside, but the cur rent wile too strong-for her. She was dizzy, fell, and clutched in the wrong direction.— Poor, poor little fingers! Now the people peered out; they ran hero and there. Women were crying—perhaps because-they were not hurt. The engineer darts along like a madman, looking under the train. There, a dozen feet before the engine, rises the • sand hill. • Everybody wants to know bow they were - stopped be fbre they rounded the curve.

A careless clerk, whose duty it was to close and lock the door, had failed to perform his duty that night, and the watchman on going on his rounds had discovered the neglect,. Since that night the Treasurer has inspected the doors and locks of the vaults himself, and has satis fied himself, by attempting to turn the handles, •that they are securely locked: The inspection is made twice every eveningt . ‘ once soon after the departure of the clerks; , and again before retiring to rest.

The chief requmenta _ln performing the operation , are a tharp _Ws, narrow - bladed knife—the - ohe We bide' - erally us old is the,Gray_l_ey orspayinig c s made by Rogers . or Wostenholm, but any small - pocket knife will answer; provid it be sharp and the point be slightlyroun ed bide' back from the edge; narrow bitaof old thin domestic, eight inches to a foot in length and half an Inch wide, or limg narrow strips of moistened corn shue.k,•ata upon'which the bark raises easily, a stick of buds' of the variety of fruit, etc., to be propagated, and, nimble fi ngers. These being provide d , se lect that portion of the stock or brlnch where it is desired to insert the bud, Intik° a longitudinal incision an inch' in length and entirely through the bark, but 'not, deep enough to injure the yming wood beneath, cross this at the_top with a crescent-shaped cut with the convexity upward, taking out immediately 'above this cut a small_ clip of bark for the more ready insertion of the bud, and 'slightly and very carefully raise the edges of the bark with the point of the knife.

The younger the growth the more wood may be taken. The lower end of this bud is to be inserted into the cut madehpon the stock and gently pushed downward, so that its top shall be even :with thp top of the incision.

The work may be done in this climate at any time from the middle of April to the cessation of growth in the fall—May for the early and Beptem- . ber for the latter budding being the best months. Buds inserted before July may be headed back—i. e., the stock or branch cut oft inch or two above the bud at the time of removing the string—after July the heading back should be deferred till Jan uary or February. In preparing the - stick of buds the leaves should be promptly re moved, leaving a half inch or more of the foot stock attached to the bud . , These di rections and a little judgment will enable any one to "bud" successfully.—Rural Al abamian. . • Wild Culture of Asparagus. The Horticulturist says: "Hitherto our family gardeners have allowed but *mill space to the asparagus bed. The plants have been usually put out in rows, two feet apart, one foot in the row, and the beds have been limited to six and two-fifths feet. The new variety—Conover's Colossal—bas, with its introduction, also brought a new system of culture, viz.: wide planting. The origina tor now puts his plants four and one-half by four feet, and grows entirely in By this method large shoots are obtained; and more shoots from every hill, so that, in the end the cultuz is much easier; the pro thiro rA fully ns iunplo, but, being of larger size, the profits are far greater. The roots of the colossal will grow in one season, from seed, to the length, of two and a half or three feet. If we were to plant them two feet apart, or even three, would they not overlap each other, and in time, as they en larged, year after year, would not the ground become one entire network of roots, suck ing and robbing one'another as innehlas poss ible ? But if the plants are lit at the right distance apart—say , four feet- 7 -each plant forms ahill by itself, controlling exclusively the nutrition immediately around, and hence we' have a greater success and far more per manent plantations of this fine vegetable." FPEDINCi OATS TO COLTS.-A. correspon dent of the Alitint Farmer says: I have al ways found that generous feeding pays the best, and I have found nothing to good for colts as a generous supply of oats, regularly fed. There is not much danger of feeding too many; the danger is in the opposite di rection. The most, critical part of the colt's life is perhaps the first winter, when 'he should be liberally fed With oats or oat meld, with a few potatoes, and have daily exer cise. One of your correspondents prof carrots to other roots for feed. This d not agree with my experience. After gi - lag carrots a fair add thorough trial, oxten - ing through three', winters, I came to the conclusion (and I think intelligently) that carrots fed as a feed for horses and colts . are entirely worthless.
