Forthwith the cc.eries discuss the how the

separation has been exaggerated into a

If she keeps out Of society, she is asham-
ed to be seen if she court it, and ap-
pears much in public she is trying to bra

We're glad to him, and invited him to make
their house his home, as he declared his
intention of remaing in the city but a day
or two. The husband Of the ladv anxious
to show his attention to relative and
friend Of his wife, took the gentleman's
horse to a livery stable in Hanover trect.
Finally the visit became visitation and
the merchant, after the lapse of eleven
days, found besides lodging and boarding
the gentleman, pretty considerable bin
had run up at the livery stable.
Accordingly he went to the man who
kept the livery stable, and told him when
tho gentleman took his horse lie would
pay the bill.
Very good, said tie stable keeper, | un.
dcrstand you.
Accordingly in short time, the coun-
t'y gentleman went to the stable aud or
dcred his horse 10 be got ready. The oil
of course was presented.
Oh! said the gentleman, Mr.. - my
relative will pay this.
Very good, sir, said the stable keeper,
please to get an order from Mr.. -, it
will be the same as the money.
The horse was put up again, and down
went the country gentleman to Long
Wharf where the merchant kept.
Well, said he, am going now.
Are you, 5: id the merchant. Well,
good bye sir.
Well, about that horse, the man says

Origin Of Various Plants.

Every gentleman farmer ought to be
somewhat acquainted with the origin and
history Of all ordinary plants and trees,
so rs to know their nature, country, and
condition. Such knowledge, besides be-
ing great source Of pleasure, and very
desirable, will often enable him to explain
phenomena in the habits of many nlanls
that otherwise would appear mex pIicabIe.

as native Of Sicily, originally came from
the central table-land of Thibet, where it
yet exists as grass, with small mealy
seeds.

Himalaya.
Oats we're brought from North Africa
Milet, one species, is native of India,

Will, was clerk in the store in

younger brother, Elcr but when our
house WAS filed with travellers, we were
Obliged TO ''sleep three iu bed" by tax.
in5 III our honest Irish farmer + Edmund,

closed at night, | frequently joined some
OF our village boys in party at the
house Of their parents, aud what with
story telling aud various kinds of child'S
play, couple Of hours would glide away,
aud III o'clock at night, which was later
than my parents permitted, would slyly
creep up stairs and crawl into bed with
the greatest caution, lest should wake
my brother, who would be sure to.report
my late hours to my parents.
My brother contriyed all sorts Of plans
to catCh me on my retarn home, but sleep
would overtake him, and | would eiude
his vigilance. Sometimes he would pile
trunks aud chairs against the door, so
that could hardly open it without upset
ting the barricade, and awakening him
by the noise, would generally maange,
however to open the door 10y degrees, aud
TO get to bed without disturbing his slum

a short ich assembled and en-

These continual contrivances Of roy
brother made me always suspicious OF
some trap on my return home, and |
generally approached, my dormitory with
the greatest degree Of caution. One
night returned as usual about ] o'clock
aud opening the door q few inches with
great care, run in.my arm in order TO
discover any obstruction which might lie
in wait for me. Ny hand soon touched

and found him in that position snugged
myself in costly across the foot of the
bed, and went to sleep. In the morning
he found himself sitting bolt upright jus:
as he went to sleep the night before. Civ,
ing me kick to wake me, he exclaimed
"You worked it pretty well last night
but I'll catch you yet"
"9ou are welcome to do it if you can,
| replied, but you will have to get up ear
ly in the morning to catch weasel a.
Sleep" Z ....0..
The next night he fastened spur upon
his naked heel and went to sleep, think
ing that when got into bed should hit
the spur, and perhaps rake my skin, the
pain of which would cause me to cry out
and thus awake him. l retired with my
usual caution that night, and discovering
no contriyance, concluded my brother
had abandoned the chase, turning my
back to him | was soon wrapped in the
arms of Morpheus.
it chanced that night that number Of
tin peddlcrs and other travellers arrived
at a late hour, and every bed being engag.
ed, our Irish Edmund was obliged to sleep
with us. Perceiving me slowed away on
the back side of the bed, and my brother
lying as usual plump in the middle, he
quietly laid himself down on the front part
of the bed, and went to sleep.
About 2 o'clock | was awakened by a
fearful noise. The full moon was stream
ing in at the window, making our bed
room as lipht as day.
"l'l tache We to go to bed wild spur
on, ye little devil ye," exclaimed Edmund,
as he held my brother high in the air, one
hand graspng his neck and the other
holding the offending leg with the spur on
just over my head.
"What is the matter, Edmund 7" ex-
claimed in surprise.
"Devi thing is lie matter except this
brother Of yours has run his spur into me
groin matter Of three inches" replied
the indignant lr rshman, who was suffering
under the smart of his wound.
81 did not mean it for you, meant it
for Taylor" whined out my brother, only
half y wake.
= "Devil q bit do care what you meant
it for, so that got it," replied Edmund
at the same time giving my brother sew
eral slaps which made him yell like
young Indian.
Edmund then unbuckled the spur, and
arranging us all in bed again, he turned
to go to sleep, simply remarking to ny
brother, "The mkt time We try to ride me
for horse, We will find am a kicking
one, ye yound varmint!"

A Sad Story.

A well-dressed handsome young French
man was recently found dead on the st.

it was pretty evident that he committed
suicide by taking poison. In one Of his

letter reads:

three years, died OF the same disease
