Unfortunate and affecting instance of LoUe.-
The daughter of country curate in Hampshire
1being reduced, by the death Of her father to the
hard necessity of seeking some mode Of subss-
tence, could find no other than going into the SER
vice of an old female friend Of her mother, as her
maid. EmELrA (hat was her name) had received
from her parents the best education. She was
handsome, had a very pleasing figure, was sensi-
BILE, discreet, and of the most modest department.
Unfortunately for her, young gentleman ofgood
fortune, who was friend Of the family with which
she lived, frequently visited the house. The
master and mistress keeping only one footman,
poor Emelia, who generally assisted in serving
the tea, had thus an opportunity Of seeing the
young man, and fell in love with him before she
was Of the progress Of that sentiment in her
heart. When she did perceive it, her reason in-
duced her to oppose it, and she made many in
clectual efforts for that purpose; indeed, SO vio-
lent were her struggles, that her health became
seriously affected by them. Her mistress who
loved her tendery, after having consulted several
physicians in vain, sent her to the house of a
friend at twenty miles distance, to try whether
change Of air would not be Of service to her.
The absence of the object of her affection, no
doubt contributed to her recovery. She returned
TO her mistress's; and, having the same opporlu-
mites of seeing the young man as before, her pas
sion revived. Firmly resolved TO conquer or uie,
rather than give way to an attachment that in.
creased in spite of her, she reapsed into the
most deplorable state ofhcallh. The physicians,
no. being able to discover the cause Of he disorder
thought that she must be affected BY some deep
sorrow, and pronounced her danger. Her afflicted
mistress enreated her to entrust her with the Sc
cret, and to induce her to do so, told her the dam
ger she was in; and promised not only not to
betray her confidence, but to do her ntmostto OBJ
tain the means necessary for her cure Over
come by the affection of her mistress, she ac-
knowledged her passion, begged her to conceal j,
from him who was the object Of it, and received
with resignation the news of her approaching dis
solution, which would at last deliver her from an
unfortunate passion that all her efforts had been
unable to vanqush. Her mistress could not help
informing her husband of the discovery. They
agreed to sound the young man upon the subject;
and finding, by degrees that he had observed the
merit of Emelia, they prevailed upon him to pity
her situation. He consented-asked to see her,
(she being previously prepared for it by her mis-
'rcss) entered into conversation with her. testified
the greatest desire 10 her health re-estahlished;
and even went so far as TO say that, if she could
recover, he would be happy to marry her.
= Marry me!' cried she, raising her arms, and fix
ing her eyes upon him, 'marry" and, throwing
her head back, she Instantly expired.

Female Courfship IN Ronse.--The women OF
Rome know nothing Of those restraints which de-

upon him long, and with evident pleasure; nay,
she gazes at him alone whenever she meets him.

walks. She will say, without ceremony, to Il
friend of the young man's-"Tell that gentleman
like HIM" If,the man Of her choice feels the
like sentiments, and asks, "Are you fond Of me?''
she replies, with the utmost lrankness, "Yes.

and which, when they are dissolved, plunge the
men into despair. The Marchese Gatt lately
shot himself, because, on his return from Paris
he found that his mistress had been false to him.

The LEGITIMATE USE OF SNUFF.--Not long
since, Rufus Goss, Of this town, had cow
choked with potatoe. 1t took place while
he was absent from home. His wife, after
some other measures had been tried, and
had failed 10 relieve the animal, suggested
the use Of snuff: 1t was. used after the
common manner, as practised by rational
beings, I belieye-i.e. introduced into the
nose. The remedy was effectual. The
COW, not being snuf-taker,n was imme-
diately set to sneezing, by which the potato
was at once thrown out. dt

willing. however, to quit the premises of
this capital farmer without mentioning an
admirable contrivaEce for cleanliness, for
which we should advise him at once TO
secure patent right, if it were at all an
original invention. He had pig-stye in
which he in the autumn shut up his
swine to be fatted after his fashion and
necessary, which for picturesque effect
no doubt, was formed with open boards
put in like the STATS of verandab, and
for modestv's sake had door, which
was never confined by hinges but was
made to be placed and replaced by lifting,
and secured in the inside by billet OF
wood of the size of city backlog, and
the place appeared TO be frequented by
persons resembling Hogarth's Scotch
man, who. poor fellew, supposed the holes
were made to put his legs down; but the
perfection of the whole arrangement con-
sisted in having both these places fixed
directly over a running stream of water,
where all impurity was at once carried of
and the most delicate nerves could not BE-
offended.
Now such is picture Of the careful
ness, economy, and good management in
respect to the saving and accumulation OIL
materials for enrichlng their land, we had
almost said of one half the farmers OIL

That farmers add very much to their
crops by occasional changes of seed, is
most generally admitted, and the practice
Is followed to a great extent In the agri-
culture OF all countries. 1t is found that
seed from cold climate, or soil, improves
lhe crop on one that is warm from a
tenacious soil, on one that is ffiable and
dry; and that seed from districts of the
latter kind, in both these cases, adds to the
value OF the crop where the soil is cold
and tenacious. In Scotland, the seed for
the elevated and mountainous districts is
brought as lar as possible from the plains ;
an exchange that causes the crop on the
hills to ripen earlier, and the influence is
ielt inlhe crops of several years. On the
plains not only of Scotland, but of Hol,
land and Germany, it is the custom D re-
verse this process, and obtain seed from
more elevated regions, whereithe growth,
though later, is more substantial
In this state,,it was formerly the Gus.
tom in the more elevated parts of the
aeounties of Madison, Onondaga, Cayuga,
and still farther west, to obtain their seed
wheatlrom the lower parts of those same
counties, or other ones, and that seed was
preferred which grew on the limestone
zones Of the district. or below Wheat
Z grown from such seed, would have a
more vigorous growth, and would ripen
some eight or ten days earlier than seed
grown in the elevated parts of those coun
lies swhlle in many parts of the lower
country, seed from the more cold and te
!. nacious soils Of the upper parts of In,
counties, was sought, as more valuable OF
light and sandy soils, than that of .thei
own production. ~
The cat.tail, or timothy grass, which
originated in this country, is another Gu
Tious instance OF the effect Of climate OF
