Suppose brother James had offered her a home; there were his elk children--five of them boys—and what was likely to become of Miss Dorothy's dried grasses, pressed leaves, precious. minerals, and, systematic living exposed to the merci less grasp of throe score little fingers and thumbs?. That site preferred the frying-pan to a trial of the`'. fire by no means affirmed the former to be all that was desirable.— And yet, to do Miss Dorothy Justice—and how many good people are like , her—she was the cheeriest, most contented person in the world so long as the world kept step with her . But this morning everything ran counter. She had risen early, with a long walk in view.• In a certain locality, site had been told, a peculiar kind of orchis was then in bloom, specimens of , which , .she wished to secure.' Early walks were Miss Dorothy's delight. No other time was so favorable for cultivating Nature's acquaint ance—and to know that individual thorough ly was the pride and comfort of Miss Dora- . thy's otherwise lonely life. ;Indeed, the col.' leeting and arranging of her "specimens" absorbed all heetime and Attention except what was actually needed for the biscuits and coffee, and nothing .short of total de pravity could account for tho obstinacy .of those last named articles on this particular morning. The shower, too, had dared to throw cold water on her plans, and, would oblige her to wait until the sun had gathered up the millions of flashing diamonds and glittering gems the • spendthrift clouds had scattered so broadcoast. Ell =I II "It's a, miserable state of things, any way," remarked Miss Dorothy, looking titre' the half-open 'blind,while she crumbled her crabter into the plate of soup warmed over froth yesterday's dinner.

There is no cure for these but a general improvement in educa-1 Lion. There are, however, errors which w6ll-instructed persons sometimes fall into from mere habit or thoughtlessness. • Such errors, like the "fears of the brave and the follies of the wise," have only to be brought home to the consciousness of those who commit them' to bo discarded at once. A very common mistake, even-for-,good writers and speakers, is the substitution of had for would before the adverbs. rather, sooner, better, lief, and some others. " I had rather stay than go" instead of " I would rather." ' I had as- lief take one as the other" instead of " I would as lief." 'l'll6 origin of the error is evident enough. The two words, had and would, have the same contracted form when combined with a pro noun. "I'd rather" may be a contraction of either "I would rather" or "I had rath er." This contracted form is that which we almost always use in common speech.— Even when we are inclined ,to lengthen it we rarely give the full pronunciation. We say "I 'tid rather," leaving the verb doubt ful to the listener's ear, and perhaps to our selves. When driven to write it, we feel naturally inclined to take the shortest word, without much regard to the strict grammat ical meaning of the phrase. That the ex pressions "I. had rather" and "I had as lief" are incorrect will be made evident by sitnply converting rather into its synonym, more willingly, and lief into the correspond ingtigladly. Yet it must ber idin'ttetl that these incorrect forms are warrante by such high authorities, from Shakespea . to some I' of the best writers of our day, - at they are entitled to be regarded, if not established idioms, at least as tolerated soli isms. The confusion of lay with Mr and of set with sit is among the most common errors of speech, though well-educated persons are usually able to avoid it in' writing. Ev ery one who is familiar - with the idioms of, our language knows or ought to, know that lay and set are what are. called transitive verbs, and that lie and sit are Intransitive.— In other words, the two former' can take a.' noun after them in the objective case and the two latter - cannot. We say " Lay the book, down," " Set the post up." To say "Lie the book" or " Sit the post" would be ridichlons. The error usually committed is in the opposite direction—the transitive verbs being used in an intransitive sense,.-.--- Many persons - not deficient in 'education would say, "Some of the children are lay ing on, the grass and the others arc setting in the Parlor." , Next let us notice the persistency with which many well educated as well as most uneducated persons, use the objective pro nouns, ono, her, him, them, after the Various tenses of the substantive verb to be in spite of the injunctions of grammarians. The habit of saying "It is me," "It was him," `instead of "It is I," "It is he," is so uni versal and so fixed that •some modern wri ters on English 'philology have been dis posed to regard itgs allowable. Possibly, to the same cause we may as cribe the general disuse in ordinary speech of whom as the objective case of who.' In stead of " the man whom I met," almost every one would say " th 6 man that I met," or, more briefly; "Abe than I met." • - Both of these , modes of eXpression are in accord , ante with grammatical rules. Not so is.the equally common forth: of interrogation, " Who did you meet?" "Who, were you speaking to?" Here whom would bo cor rect, and yetwould seem so stiff that many who knew the right would yet pursue - the wrong way deliberately. ' A little alteration of the phrase in such a case will often make ' it more satisfactory in every way; as, for example, " Who was the person you were . Speaking to?" Rattlesnakes and their Habits. Ordinarily- the rattlesnake is extreinely sluggish,-and unless molested there is little to fear from it during the greater portion of, the year.

The Story of a, Curious Character. 'A Georgia paper 1 is responsible for this story "In the old flown '-of Sunbury, on the coat of Georgia, now a melancholy ruin, James Somersall, the slibject of this notice, ' was born fifty-one years ago: His parents emigrated from the island of Bermuda over a century since, and are in part responsible for the introduction of that beautiful grass which is the bane of planters on the Sea board. The father of- James was a tailor and a cripple, and his mother kept a - small baker's shop. She had opo other son be sides James, and they were very poor. The former from his earliest childhood was ten likable kind, and .developed tastes andliab its of the strangest and- most abnormal charscter. ' Once, at a very tender ago, he - was missing for several days;.itind finally turned up fast asleep upon a todibstone in . the 'village graveyard. - ° " Fond of solitude, he lived in the thick recesses - and tangled forests. iv passion for natural history was thus engendered, which afterward produced, n we venture to say, the most complete work (in Manuscript) ever compiled' on the ornithology , of Georgia.— Skilled in snaring birds, his home was hung around with ingenious cages of his own manufacture filled with feathered inhabi tants, some hitherto utterly unknown to the , residents of the , country. , He has been I known to watch' and follow day- after day- . without ceasing a paroquet; or some other strange bird until he had secured his prize. Nets, bird limo, traps,- and' robbery- on the roost were the means employed by him in capturing his feathered treasures._ This protracted life hi the-woods and close asso ciation with beasts, and birds gradually transformed this wonderful creature into a wild man, and, strange - tb say, .his very. physical appearance underwent a change, and his natural appetites. and ,tastes also.— The writer has seep him with a pocketful of -live grasshoppers, which ho would eat like sugar , plums. iLizards, locusts, and oven serpents were dispatched In the same way. Indeed, among his other silvan pursuits, the capture of snakes was a favorite pastime,— Armed with a forked stick only, we have seen this man crawl on all fours through a covered ditch forty':feet wide,, filled with ooze and slimeiin quest of the deadly rube-- casin. . 'When encountered :after pinning ,the reptile's head ~to_ the earth, ho would iseize it by the neck,, n d inserting a coarse cloth into its mouth So as to cover the fangs, forcibly extract•thern-witjt a sharp jerk.-r He often ate snakes alive. - , , " The dwelling of this than-monster wigs visited by every stranger, and antiquary who made a pilgrimage to,Su bury to view the old fort and the enchanting water scenery o the dilapidated - town.

There are various ways of doing this, and, of course, woman-like, we think our way is . the best. We have tried both ways—of cut ting it from the coliand drying it in the sun without scalding,: and of first scalding it a few minutes 'and then cutting it as closely roils possible without shaving the cob-,-and - can safely assert' that- the/latter-method is far superior. ~So this seaulnwe shalt piton the biggest kettle that will fit the stove, and 1111 4 it up - with ears of sweet , corn in the height of their sweetness and•juice, and let them scald for five minutes, shall then skim them out into a pan, and with l it corn-cutter . serape off each car.

It stands to reason if\ the corn is first scalded, it retaini - ,the. sugar of milk, which produces its sweetness, but if it is cnt Off in the green state, this dries away upon 'the plates. And; again, it is needful to dry it rapidly at first to preserve this- fiavQr in the corn, which ivould be more apt to evaporate if dried slowly in the sun. But we must take care notito scorch the kernelejor then they would be ruined. -Sweet corn is some times put down in salt. , Cut off the • corn' after first scalding it a few minutes; then' place a layer of i it n a stone jar, and scat ter a thin layer of fine - salt. over it, and fill up the jar, in 'this manner.

These figures went: fabulous,-but they were paid by men who counted the cost before they made the bids. ,In Eughtad it is impossible to secure any thoroughbred shell-horns; not because there are' none of the pure Duchess free in tlte kingdom—as a foolish contemn" porgy suggests-but - because --the. owners ;will nut part with them forloye or money.
