The Broken Hearted.

About two years ago, I took up my resi-
dence for few weeks in country village, in
the eastern part Of New-England. Soon after
my arrival, l became acquainted with a young
lady apparently about seventeen years. of age.
She had lost the idol of her hearts purest
love, and the shadows of deep and holy mem
cries were resting like the wing of death upon
her brow. 4a=
I first met her 10 the present of the mirth(ul.
She was, indeed, a creature to be admired: her
brow was garlanded By the young years sweet
flowers, and her sunny tresses we're hanging
beautiful and low upon her bosom, and she
moved through the crowd with floating unearth-
ly grace that the boWidered gazer looked al
most to see her fade away in the air, like the
creation Of pleasant dream. She seemed
cheerful, and eTen gay; yet saw that the gay.
ETY. was but mockery Of her feelings. She
smiled, but there was something in her smile
which told me that its moprnful beauty was
but the bright reflection Of tear; and her
eyelids at times passed heavily dOpn'as j
struggling to repress the agony that was burst
ing qp from her hearts secret urn. She look
ed as il she could have LET the scene Of festivi

laid her forehead down upon the fresh, greer
earth, and poured Ont her stricken soul. gusl

whom I have spoken is dead, The close .

TERRIER DoGs-Nearly every farmer keeps
one or more dogs; and many, permit me to say
plainly ARE mere culs Of no value whatever
Now pure bred terrier is more valuable upon
a farmstead, for destroying rats and mice about
the house and barn, than dozen cats. ! have
kept terrier the past two years, and previous
to that my barn was overrun with rats--now
they are rarely seen or heard, upon my prem.
ises. The Terrier is also good as watchdog,
to hear, give notice of intrnders, and dog that
