The original and powerful novel "Round the Block," pub-. lished by this house it few months ago, has pass ed to a fourth edition. As a picture of life and manners among certain grades of society in New- York,.it bids fair to become standard. The au thor is understood to be, John B. Bouton of New-York, son of Rev. Dr. Benton, of New-Hamp shire. Two new books of interest to the religious world are forthcoming. One is " . Lyra Ameri cana," or verses of Praise and Faith, from Amer ican poets, selected and arranged by ROY. Geo . T. Rider. The other, " Lyra Anglicans," a Rork of similar character, from devout British poets, arranged after the order of the Apostle's Creed, and edited by the same gentleman.

One Summer afternoon, long ago, there. was a party -of little girls going out ito gath er blneberries. There were Mary and Hat -tie Allen, and Susie Lambert, and natty BrOwn, and half a dozen others. It was Satirday, afternoon,' and they were and frolioksome fie yong colts. The blueberry pasture was a mile or more from the 'village, and the road was rough and grass-grown. ' Only in Stunmer time did the 'children go that way. After a while Mary Allen lingered a lit tle behind. When she looked up, she saw the little party had reached a place where two roads met and were taking the-right band one. Why girls I" she cried,-" that is'nt the way. What are you going there fdr " Yes it is the way," answered 'Susie Lambert. "I remember that great pine tree, and the high rock." "So do I," said Fanny Brown. "And there's the gate that leads to Mr. Henshaw's woods," cried another. 4 1 remember it just as well! Why Mary Allen, we all of us know the way." Now Mary had not lived in the village Hisr father moved there 'only the year before, and she knew -- little of tbe country round, and had been this way only onde. But she was` always' very self-confi dent and- 'positive and was sure now that she-remembered, taking-the left-hand path. She was a head-strong child, who was /ley-, er willing to confess herself mistakeu 134 with a wilful toss of the head, she cried out : " I know better, and I shall go Just where I please. Hatty Allen, come back and we will take the right ioad. See how pleasant it looks, and all down hill." She ran forward, and, catelOg Jur gentle little sister's hand, trotted 'het back, by maim force, to the other road. The girls called after her : " Macyj yon'ye - too_ bad I" '4 Let Batty alono lir " You'll get lost;".some 'one . thing, ackme another. Out that :same old . 43-iant Self- Will had got hold of Mary, and she vroii have her own way. She :Worried Hula Flatx ty, aimed crying, along the downhill path, and soon they were ont of light. The -girls were quite vexed by this Bud. den and foolish outburst, and very sorry - for. poor Hatty. But they - "saidr among them selves : "We can't wait here,. and we can't follow her. It would'nt do any good. She's so set.". So they went on, and by and-by forgot their trouble in •the hurry and delight of.'picking the fruit. • When the h'appy little 'comPany had filled . their pails, and set . out for home, it was. nearly, sunset. ^ Won't mother be glad when she sees what a great lot I've picked ?" WOn't r have blueberries and milk' for supper "And_ *won't Mary 'Allen be sorrrslie did'nt come with us ?" So geld the girls - as they walked along, and one adde&—" I suppose Mary got home hours ago._ She fbund out the blueberries did'nt grow on that road pretty soon, I guess." But when they passed Mr. Allen's house, • Mary's mother was looking out of the win 'dew. With a frightened lobk she called to them: " Where - are Miry and. natty ?" " Have'nt they come home, ma'am ?" and they told her all they_ knew. But she hardly waited to hear them through—she ran for her husband, and, as soon as the horse could be harnessed, he set out with a neighbor's son, who knew the -roads, to hunt for the stray children„- And where were they all, this time? After they parted from the rest, you ban fancy that Mary felt very cross. She made Ratty walk faster than she was able, arid when the poor child whinipered;she grew crosser still, and drew her along faster than ever. But they came to no blueberries. After a time, too, the road entered a,swinnp, and seemed to lose itself in the spongy soil. Before they knew it, their feet were wet and muddy, and at last even wilful Mary could no longer blind herself. She had made a mistake indeed. It seemed dark, too, in the shadow of the thick trees, which was made deeper" by the long, gray moss that hupg heavily down from them. Now that they stood still, all•was so hushed and solemn that Mary's heart smote her with fear. . "Let us go right home, Batty," she said, whirling her round with such a sud den jerk as to throw her down into a pool of muddy water close by. Iler head struck a sharp stibk, and,. when Mary drew her dripping.out•of the water, and laid her on a mossy hillock, the blood began to' trickle down her pale little face. Her;cries of pain and fright echoed through the silent forest, - and- sounded quite alvful to Mary, ' alone there with her in• the gloom. '".hlatnina ! Mamma !" cried Batty, and an echo answered.:---" Mamma!" till the . child fell into a - perfect spasm of Sobbing. What could Mary do ? Selt-Will, now that he had brought,her into such trouble, left her to herself. ".0h; natty, do stop, do try to get up," she said. " Let's go home to mother, and she'll make you all clean and well. Batty tried to,quiet her- Self, and to get up, but fell back crying : "Oh I -can't ; I'm so tired, and my clothes are all wet. nil cold, and my head's burst ing I'm afraid." Tears of remorse and pity came into Mary's Men eYes, as she saw that little head, all soiled and bleed-stained, fall help lessly upon the•sod. She sat down beside her sister and tried to wipe away the flowing blood. Then, get ting,up, she lifted her in her arms, and be `gar, to carry her.horadward. Ilatty, chilled and stunhed, shut her eyes and soon seemed quite unconsoious. , But Mary's strength gave' out, and she was obliged to down to: rest. I cannot describe the alai& when, on trying to rouse natty to walk, she found she could not even wake' her fully. A' few more attempts at carrying her ' and she Bank down in, despair. The streakti 'of sun shine that had glimmered through the wood • faded quite away, and still she sat beside that foym—herself almost rigid with fear. She could not leave it, she must wait for _help to come. The darkness grew deeper and the silence more profound: Mary, thought of the cheerful home, :where their kind mother Was, expecting and how distressed she, would be if she could, see them now. Then she remembered how dia.. - obedient and ungrateful she had been, and how the wilfulness _and selfconfidence that had brought her into this trouble was al ways grieving • that good mother. And now came thoughts of God, her . . heavenly Father. She seemed alone with Him, and she -must answer to Him for this sin. There, - in the darkness she saw herself and her sins as she never did before. Would God listen to such a wicked girl, she thofight. She must pray to him, •her need was so great. And she did truly pray; kneeling on the ground, with bitter tears she confessed her fault and besought the Lord to save Batty, and to send them. help. Well, though the minutes seemed heirs, they did pass away, and at 'last in' the.-ttiii light, Mary heard the sound'of wheels. It was her father as you will guess. Mary's heart would have bounded for joy, as' she called aloud, and his voice answertid, but it was too heavy with fear about flatty. What would he say when he saw how, sick and strange she looked ? ,As the .wagon came near, and he jumped hastily down, She cried, " Oh I papa, punish me, punish me ! Something's the matter with Batty. She r don't answer me. She's been all cold, and now she's burning up." Mr. Allen lifted his little darling teuder ly, and only said, with clinked voice,. " Mary we must hurry. home." , He felt that - God had taken' Mary'fi pun- . . ishment into his own hands. For .though it had been great already, it did -net end hem_ Battylad a terrible brain bibught 'on 'by the Me*, and'the chill and 'fatigue , of that afternoon.

PRE BYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22 "I will try to cure my bad temper, that I am resolved," said Fred; but he made the resolve in his own'strength. The next day showed him how weak he was in himself; for only a slight affront he flew into a pas. sion with his cousin Charles, who got be fore him in class; he scolded his sister Nary, who had by accident broken the tail of his kite, and he burst into a fit of anger when he stumbled over the yard dog as it lay basking in the sunshine. A few weeks after the lady had left, he sat down and wrote her a letter, in which he said : " To-day is my birth-day, and I mean to turn over a new leaf, as father calls it. I have quite made up my mind to attend to what you told me. I will never more be angry. I will always fight against my naughty temper. ; It ,makes me very un happy, and 'my parents are unhappy too. , And you said , that it offended the holy God." ' Now, this was quite right; but then Fred had forgotten to pray. He had again resolved in his Own strength to fight against his temper. Re had not asked to be for given- his past . sins, nor sought help from . God to overcome his evil: passions.

Subsequent inquiry Riad observation, how= ever, have somewhat reconciled us to the unwelcome truth.

The farm increases in value and fertility, Farinere - Wives. and the husband's labor becomes lighter, as he is able to hire more help; but it is still expected of the- wife to do all the housework, with what little help• the elder children, if they' are girls, can give her. At length—through this ceaseless appli cationthey are ready to build; and when the c'omfortable new house is finished and nicely furnished, and the children are be ginning to be a real help to her, the pale, sickly wife and mother lies down to die ! She has saved by, ceaseless, wearying toil, hundreds of dollars for her husband,, and he hai lost what money is powerless to re call ; the companion of- his youth, the one who' has walked beside him and cheered him through life's most thorny paths ! And such untimely deaths are whisyered among friends as "mysterious sprovidences," in stead,of the neglect of a proper household economy on the farm. These - views are partly, corroborated by statements in a recent report upon the In sane Asylum at Hartford, Ct. The super intendent says "that of- one hundred and eighty-seven feinale patients thirty-four per cent. were the wives of farmers and -me chanics." The consideration of the causes which: led to =this most natural result show ed that between nursing;: the accumulation of hoUsehold duties and drudgery, and the miserable, short.sighted economy which of ten led the husband to refrain frum supplying the necessary domestic assistance, the poor, heart-broken and - diseouraged wife had lost in turn her appetite, her rest, and her strength, her nervous system had become prostrated, and, sinking under her burdens, she had_ sought refuge in -the Asylum. Such is the language of the report. `This great 'error has been a common one, 'and ,- .has desolated .many .a farmhouse. It • grows out of an overweening desire to ac cumulate too fast. We knew men, now, with whom - this is a passion that overrides 'everything else. Sometimes, it is manifest ed, i k u a desire: to add sl96more to their railroad or other stock,. at others to in crease the acres of their land, or again to hold the notes- of their =neighbors. Tlds passion makes them mean to them selves, mean to their families, and mean to, ; .kheir .country, and they habitually cheat all these for the sake •of 'hugging to their serdid souls a little, more of that which they must soon leave, and, perhaps to be quarrelled iihont'by others All this is bad economy; - We,do not, advocate ex travagance in anything, but only that hap py commingling of labor and leisure, of recreation and study with our daily duties and that sympathetic association, which gives -life a .charm,- and which cannot fail tolnereas.e our real happiness.- Let us ten more . frequently to' the promptings of a , . refined taste, and do some things"'about our homes with reference, to, beauty, as well as utility. These will have a happy influence upon the mind, habits and character; will light up the home with sweet affections, andhed a fragrance over all its duties. `The children wilteatch these virtues and carry theta forth, to the world, to purify and strengthen , taan there, and will ever look back to such a homestead as the well- String that sends out whatever dignifies and ennobles our. natures. And this will be true farm economy:—Nito-Eugland _Far mer. - Agricultural larcutions. From the remarks on agricultural imple ments in -the - Introductory Report of the Commissioner orPatents for_lB63, we take' the following extracts : ( 4.

Large and Small Strawberrim Nothing is more surprising thin the per sistence of farmers and gardeners about New-York in cultivating small varieties of strawberries. If the plants of large varie ties were held at high prices, -or 'if it was difficult to cultivate .them,- or if the yield was small, there would - be some 'reason in the practice. But the truth is that enough plants of Hovey's Seedling may be bought for a dollar to cover an acre of ground the second year, . the large varieties grow more vigorously and are cultivated more easily than the small; and the yield . is from two to four times as great; ,while the principal portion of the labor, that of picking, is not one-quarter as much with' the large varie ties as with the small. In face of these facts the gardeners in'this vicinity 'continue to raise small crops of little <berries which bring six cents per basket in market, when they might with less labor raise large Crops that would sell for twelve cents per basket: R .
