" Why don't you wait till to-morrow,
stranger, if you're afeared of the weather?
And them clouds over there do look , kinder
pesky'," said the landlord of the Lakeside
House, turning a practiced eye on the gray
mingling outlines of lake and sky. • '
"Well, fact is," said the other, "I'm ac
quainted over in Milham, and, if it's all the
same to you"—with a wink—" I'd rather be
there than here; so if you'll hunt up this
Joe What's-his-name I'll be obliged."
The landlord, resenting the wink and the
implied insinuation, opened the door and
called out, rather sulkily, to some one in
the next room: "Margy, run down to the
water and tell Joe there's a passenger here."
In another minute the house door closed,
and a tall, slight:girl's figure, with a shawl
over its - head, might have been seen hurry
ing down to the water-side.
Joe Gorton, busy about his boat, heard
his name called, and looking up saw - the
girl Margy. The sharp wind had blown out
stray locks of her crisp, black hair from un
der the red shawl, but the hectic in the
cheeks, and the feverish brightness in the di
lated eyes were not all the wind's Work.—
She came close to the young- boatman, who
raised himself up, facing her.
" Joe," she said, " there's a passenger
waiting up to the house." She laid her hand
on his arm, and glanced cautiously around
before Adding, in a whisper, "Joe, if once
that itann reaches the other side inivz:Wit-up

" What's that, Margy?' ,said the boiitman,
looking wonderingly at her.
" I tell you I heard it; he'll bring it home
to him,; ie says so, he's come a purpose.—
It's father's chance clean gone if you take
him across."

" Dolion mean I should refuse to take
him, Margy?" said Joe, slowly.
" What good would that dot" said the
girl, impatiently. " Kelley or same of 'em
would take him fast enough; what's father's
lifo against a fare? , No, it's you must take
him,t Joe, and then, if anything happen 9,"
sinking her voice to a meaning whisper,
"nobody but you and me's the wiser."
Joe started back.
"Marty, what's that you're thinking?"
"I cant it I" cried the girl, passion-
ately; twisting her fingers in the shawl fringe
so that' it. snapped; • he's my father, and

A girl, young and pretty, and above all
gifted - with an air of admirable cand6r,
lately presented herself before a Parisian
lawyer. " Monsienq I have come to con

oblige a man T love Co marry me in spite of
himself. How shall I proeed?"
The gentleman of the bir had of course
a sufficiently ,elastic 'conscience. He re
flected a momant, and then being sure that
no one overheard him, replied hesitatingly:
" Mademoiselle, according to our law you
always possess the means of forcing a man
to marry you. You must remain on .three
occasions alone with him; you can then go
before a judge and swear that he is your
lover." .
"And will that suffice, Monsieur?"
"Yes, Mademoiselle, with one - further
condition,"
" Well?" •
"Then you will groduce witnesses who
will make oath to having seenyou remain a
good quarter of an hour with the individual
said to have trilled with your affection's."
" Very well, Monsieur, I will retain-you
as counsel in the management of this affair.
Good-day." ,
A few days afterward the young lady re
turned. She . was mysteriously received by
-the lawyer ; who scarcely gave her, time to

mbst lively , i curiosity.

" Capital, capital!" •
"Persevere in your design, Mademoi

me give me - the name of the young man you
are going to Make so happy in,spite of him
self."
A fortnight afterward the young lady
knocked at the door of the counsel's room.
No sooner was she in than she flung herself
into a chair, saying that the walk bad Made
her breathless. Her counsel tried to re-as

proposed to unloose her garments,l,
"It is useless, Monsieur," she said, "I

should therefore be imu i riat ly discomfit

this: Pretend to be deaf, and after he has

pects people to laugh at It, beg his pardon,
and request him to• repeat it again. After
you have - made him do thiethree times, say,
'Ot that is ri pun, I believe.' • I never knew
a punster venture a third exhibition under

. Unripe Seem i . I
A' correspondent of the Germantown -
Telegraph, writing from lowa, says: About

a Scientific man, came out from Bostort\argtil

books and observation. He was soon a good
corn raiser, then as npw, the staple crop of
this part (if the world. He never planted . 1
before the 10th of June. While his neigh..
hors were planting and re-planting and light

b i
birds, he was looking on and waitin , his "
time. He 'ploughed his ground just ore
the planting, when the weeds all had a t

But this was not all his theory—m*o
seed, he contended, enabled him to carry
out the-other part of his syStem. He al
ways gathered the seed while 'ln the milk,".
and hung i up to dry; when dry it' resem

early gathering, he contended, gave the seed
greater vitality, and enabled the crop to -
"grow and mature, in a shorter time than if
left on the stall: - Until fully ripe,, and from,
his success so it appeared.
' You may wonder why his neighbors did
not fall into his system of planting. I have
"wondered So too. There seemed to be a
general fear of failure; most people thought
he was running down the size of his _corn;
but he did not, for he adhered to the system
as long as be lived there, some twelve or
thirteen years.
There is au art in saving seeds I
particular
ly in that of corn. I thought would be
more wise than the doctor, and. went thro'
the corn when ripe, selected-the largest and
best ears. This course I pursued for four
teen or fifteen years, with the same variety
of corn; ; but every year it gave less satis

the last year it had so far de.
generated - that at least one-third of the
stalks had no corn on them. By this meth

Now, in gathering seeds of any. kind -1

This is, no doubt, a relic of European cul

grows wild, it spreads over bushes and trees,.
and the growth and product is enormous.—
All plants with tendrils prefer to ramble in
