THE HUMAN FACE DIVINE

Rev. 0rville Dewey, in one of his Lee
lures delivered here last season, on "Hu
man Destiny" said:
"The expression of the face is beau
tiful distinction of humanity. We are
little aware Of the influence which i, con-
stanIly exerts. If the dumb animal. on
whom man exercises his cruelty, if the
horse or dog, when suffering by blow
from the violence of man, could turn
upon him with look of indignation or
appeal, could any one resist the power
OF the mute expostulation.! How extra
ordinary, too, the difference ofexpression
in the human face, by which the recog-
milton of personal indemnity is secured!
On this small surface, nine inches by
six, are depicted such various traits tha!
among the millions of inhabitants on the
earth, no two have the same lineaments
of the face. What dire confusion would
ensue if all countensnces were alike; fa-
theirs did not knew their own children
by sight, nor husbands their wives! But
now We could pick out our friend from
among the mulIiludes of the assembled
universe

MULCHING POTATOES.


l see much in your paper about rails
ing potatoes, and / win state how last
season raised crop, as it may be of
some use to some Of our readers. About
the last Ct April-I planted one sixteenth
of an acre Of potatoes on the sod. i
placed the potatoes twelve inches apart
one way and eighteen inches the other
covered them about four inches with rye
straw, and then scattered some baInyard
manure over them, so that they were
covered about six inches. Before cover
ing them, however, ! put about table
spoonful Of sir-slaeked lime around each
potatoe. There we're three or four stunps
on the ground, and most of it was .coE-
cred with moss. Nothing was done to
the potatoes from the time they were
planted until Ihey were dug. The pro-
duce was forty-6ve bushels-at the rate
of 73o bushels per acre-without rotten
one among them--they were clean, and
when cooked we're as mealy as those in
ploughed ground. aH cs
This is called a cheap and good crop.
and an eaily one, too. Potatoes can be
planted much earlier in this way thanin
the common method. The straw on this
piece of ground is turned into mannre
and the spot is now rich. and will come
god again this year. JJhn MOerschy

THE PERJURED GOLDSMITH.
By PROF. J. H. 1NGRAHAx.
CHAPTER 1.


A modest and exceedingly pretty
young girl plainly at,ired. entered one OF
the goldsmith stores on street, and
seeing that a gentleman was engaged
with the proprietor. she timidly shrunk
aside near the dOOr anil he should be
done. The assistants were also occupied
with customers whose dress and appear
snce showed them to belong to the class
Of the rich. and so she was suffered TO
remain for some time. standing there.
before she could be attended to.
The gentleman. who was fine, noble
looking person. with remarkably pol
ished address, seeing her waiting, courle
ously stood aside and said to the gold
smith
"Do not occupy yourself with me now,
Mr.. Broochard. can examine these
watches by myself while you see what
this young person wants, who has been
waiting here SO long aud patiently to get
an opportunity to speak to you"
"What do you want, Miss ?" asked
the goldsmith. with look that conveyed
reproof to her for inteirupting him,
while engaged with customer of more
value to him.
The girl hesitatingly approached the
counter. and taking from her bosom a
small gold CLASP. bent over to him. and
said in low, trembling tone:
81 wish, sir. you would be so kind as
to keep this few days and let me have
seven dollars on IT,"
Low as she spoke, her soft trembling
tones reached the ears of McHenry, the
gentleman who was present, and he
turned to observe her face, and hear the
reply of the goldsmith 10 this timid and
painfully uttered request. The goldsmith
took the clasp scornfully between his I'm
gers. and throwing it down. said sharply
to her
"fhis is no pswnbrOker's shop, girl
and it it was. that thing is not worth two
dollars"
''It is of inestimable value to me. sir
indeed 'tis the only thing valuable l
have:' answered she earnestly, and her
cheek slightly flushed at the rude man.

fore he returned and found it missing,
and no one in the vicinity but the defen-
dant.
The goldsmith was then called up to
be sworn as to his knowledge of the
facts. He approached the stand where
the magistrate held the bible, and laid
his hands upon it with perceptible tre-
tremor of his whole body; but love Of
money was stronger than the fear of the
law, and took the oath. 1t appeared as
if be would sink through the floor when
be took it; but the moment it was done,
he recovered his audscity. At this mo-
meDt. an officer, who, at the suggestion
of Col. McHenry, had been privately
dispatched by the justice with a search
warrant to the shop of the goldsmith,
now entered and placed something in the
magistrates hand. after briefly whisper

''Did you ever see this gold ornament
before?' asked the magistrate, holding
up the clasp before the young lady's
eyes.
"Oh, it is my clasp, it is my clssp!''
she cried. springing forward.
"Yes; it is the same" answered the
Colonel.
And did you ever see it before?' de
manded the justice sternly, holding it in
the direction of the goldsmith, who had
seen it at the first. and was appalled, with
horror and consternation. Ius cad ofre

Col. McHenry poyed 10 be bache-
Tor, and though little turned of thirty,
his heart was keenly alive to all the sen
sibiliIies of our nature. He could fee
