made up my mind to dispose of her on account Of
her bad habit, happened to employ an Englishman,
to whom gave the advice of caution upon lis first
essay at milking. He smiled and said he could easi-
ly prevent that, and proceeded to pass rope about
her body Just in front of her bag tying 1t Iii simple
knot upon her back The rope not drawn very
tight and to my utter surprise the COW stood per-
tecty quiet during the process of milking, not
much offering to raise her foot. 10 test tho

the use Of the rope, and she Immediately returned

tightly plugged. Not long after, her landlord,
a very sanctimonicus church member, and the
owner OF considerable amount of property in

last three years or more he had been in the
habit Of robbing his masters till, the sums
thus obtained averaging from seven to ten dol

from seven to eight thousand dollars. This
money had not been squandered, but safely in

Perpetual Raspherrv.

AS there is much inquiry respecting the
/ perpetual raspberry, it will probably be inter-
esting tomany of your readers to know the
Ahistery aud character of this fruit. AS far as
/ am acquainted, it is new variety. Four
years age, when | came in possession of the
farm on which it was found, there was a piece
of ground which had been set out with three
or four kinds of raspberries, but appeared to
have been but little cultivated. During the
month Of September, l discovered under row
OF old peach trees; adjoining the raspberry
patch, some raspberry vines, bearing beautiful
fruit. The next Spring 1 removed the vines
bearing this fruit, and each stock threw out
three or four hundred branches near the sur
face of the ground, and commenced bearing
frult IN August, and continued bearing until
killed by the frost;
The NEST Spring the same branches that
bore the previous Fall, bore full crop of de-
hcioaS fruit, and like other varieties died after
the fruit ripeneh, but the old stocks throw out
new branches in the Spring, which commenced
blooming about the time the first began to RI
pen; and continued to send out new branches
and bear fruit Until killed by the frost.
l have saved all the shoots sent out by the
roots, and set them in rows four feet apart
and two feet apart in the row, to raise fruit for
Che rev ia7tn market, where they readily
bring % cts. aquart. [ cultivate them with u
horse, using sometimes pillow, sometimes u
cutivator and sometimes a horse hoe. Guilt
waited IN this way they form beautiful bush
with fem four to six branches, three and a
half feet high; very smooth and entirely free
from prickleS and supporting themselves ss
well as currant bush. l cut in the vines in
the Spring from six to ten inches The fruit
rpens few days earlier than the Antwerp.
1t is prevailing opinion here, that this va
riety is hybrid, sown by the birds resting on
the peach trees after feeding on the adjoining
raspberrics. [ have exterminatcd dill other
varieties from the farm, finding this to be the
most Profitable 1t costs no more to cultivate
an acre OF this variety of raspberry after the
first planting, than it does to cultivate M
acre Ill potatoes or corn. "A. BAGLEY.

Romantic MARRIAGE.-Some years ago the
husband of young and beautiful wife at Ca
rondelet, Mo, left her for awhile, in order to
try his fortunes on the Pacific Coast He re-
manned there seven years, and was then I'M
heard from and finally there came word that
he was dead The widow put on her weeds
OF mourning, and wore them the usual term.
At the end of that period she received the
wooing of neighbor, and soon aged to wed
him. On the morning of the wedding; and
Just as she was about leaving her house for the
church, her long absent and mourned for bus
band presented himself and asked for kiss
OF welcome, but with lofty mein and disdain-
ful air, she repused him from her presence,
leaped into the carriage, and away they went,
the embryo bridegroom not compreherding in
the least the strange proceedings and, to cut
the matter short; they were in few minutes
at the appointed place, and married The an
terror husband wants his wife, and threatens
to Kick up a row. This is novel wedding,
and has created as much sensation in Caron-
deiet, as the Dean and Boxer affair did in
Gotham.

Miss Eosnler, the American sculptress

Our readers probably know the vigorous
genius and character of Miss Hosner, the
American sculptsess at Rome, and will be in,
tcrested to read the news CT her progress,
gwen n tho correspondence of the Evening
Post, dated Rome, December %, 1855:
We have been much Interested for the last
few days, in visiting the studios of our Amer
lean artists here. And first let me say word
Of Miss HoSmer We found that MIR. Gibson
was cut, but asked permission to see his works,
which request (as III all studios hcre) was po-
litely granted. In passing through court a
| figure III marble caught my eye, through an
open door, and We all marched in. It Was q
full length recumbent fgnrc-' Beatrice ii
Cenci asleep in Prison. 1t is q lovely thing.
As we stood dreaming over it, & young lady,
| (almost thirty, houId say, crossed tic court
and came towards us. She wore q | chit
brown dress, rather short, with sort of mans
! iiockey-coat, (muci like R's--'nothing short:
er'-paletct,) with TWO pockets in front, into
which her two hands were thrust, ana from
them sculptor's chsel and brush obtruded {;
her hair curling and short Oh her neck, with a
round, high cap Oh her head, of black velvet,
and a tasscl dropping over the side: She has
! IA merry eye, a ROSY cheek, and a round full
face, but Il most decided mouth, really rigid
She returned our bows with very Sudden nod,
aud asked us il we had seen Gibson's painted
Venus | told her, in return, that / thought
this far more beautiful | think is is said
!; the subject is so fresh; 1t seems to mic
that Mr.. Gibson is fortunate in the selection
1t isn't Mr. Gibs6n's ; | did it, ci1rtly re-
piled the lady, thrusting her hands deeper into
her pockets, and cooking her head on one side.
Indeed y said we, in some surprise. Yes,
| did it last winter wonder no one has ia
ken this subject before But cannot convey
her manner of speaking, or rather her tone l.
was quick, decided, and short as possible
much like railroad train over short bridge
leave but | am going again. if we have time
to see the Beatrice, but quite as much to see
its author and talk with her again"
