Send in your orders soon, as We expect our

direct to the publisher. Those who send
large amounts had better send drafts, but
notes will answer il drafts cannot be pro-
cured.
We think we can show how much cheaper
it is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We will take a late number of both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained SO articles,
the Lady's Book 90.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 80 en-
cravings, the Lady's Book Sc.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 81 pa
ges, the Lady's Book 100.
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty six
more articles, and thirty-six more pages,
nearly double the quantity. The lowest club
price of the Two Dollar Magazine is SIPS
lowest club price of Lady's Book S1,67, only
AZ cents difference in the price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three and a half cents), you receive
twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more
engravings, and thirty-six more pages month
ly-certainly a very cheap three and a hall
cents worth. This view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it is
a true statement, which any lady can con-
vince herself Of by comparing the two maya
zines.

4 MAIDEN's fInsT IOVK

Human nature has no essence more
plre-the world knows nothing more
chaste-heaven has endowed the mortal
heart with no feeling more holy, than
the nascent affection of a young virgin S
soul. The warmest language of the
sunny Solthis too cold to shadow forth
even a faint outline of that enthusiast
tic sentiment. And God has made the
richest language poor in that same re-
spect, because the depths of hearts
that thrill with loves emotions are too
sacred for contemplation. The musical
voice of love stirs the source of the
sweetest thought within the human
breast, andsteals into the most profound
recesses of the soul, touching chords
which never vibrated before, and call
ing into genial companionship delici-
GUS hopes till then unknown.
Yes, the light Of young maiden's
love breaks dimly but beautifully upon
her as the silver lustre of star glim-
mers through a thickly woven bower;
and the first blush that mantles her
cheek, as she feels the primal influence,
is faint and pure as that which rose
leaf might cast upon marble. But how
rapidly does that grow stronger, and
that flush deeper-until the powerful
effnlgence Of the one irradiates every
corner, of her heart, and the crimson
glow of the other sufuses every feature
of her eountenanee.

A Calf STORY:
on, PATRIoIAN vs.. PLEBIAN BLOOD.

OR, PATRIcIAN VS. PLEBIAN BLOOD.
Our amateur farmer and stock fancier
Joseph Wright, having strong faith in
Bovine lineage, took pains to send
fine cow of simple pedigree to the
famed gray imported bull of S. p
Chapman, at Clockville, Madison Co.
He was afterwards assured by Mr.. G.
that if the calf should be small and nos
otherwise realize his first expectations,
it would improve and "eohe out right
in the endlD The COW was placed with
Garret Loyerige, a shreWd Yankee
farmer, three miles south Of this vii
lage. Among the many good things
Mr.. L. had learned from his PennsyE@
vania German neighbors and engrafted
on his farming, were also some of their
egotistical prejudices against book
farming, improved breeds of stock,
swine, &c. Hence Mr.. LOverige verify
believed that all was in the keeping Of
stock, and nothing in the breed; but as
true Yankee is never quite satisfied
until he is certain he is right, he adopt
ed the experiment of changing Wright's-
blood heifer calf at its birth, with one
of the same gender dropped only four
days before by one of his Dutch COWS
well knowing that Mr.. Wright would
give his calf the very best of keeping,
while the blood calf would only have
the ordinary keeping Of his other farm
stock. This experiment would at least
test the fact whether a plebian calf, if
extra well fed, would not grow into a
better COW, than blood calf with ordi-
nary keeping.
When Mr.. Wright came to take home
his cow and calf he told LoYerige that
he was rather disappointed in its big
Dutch tail and other marks of scrub
origin; but as Mr.. Chapman had told
him that it would "come right at
maturity, he now took the best -o~-oo
the COW, until she rea1led her calf, and
then the ,oung blood, as he supposed
il TO be, was fed and pampered in order
to bring out its good qualities at ma
turitY. But az his care and fekding
iFa sain Alter she had her first calf
he was 50 chagrined al hef Poer mike
line qualities that he solt hel~anil her
calf u the butcher. Now LoveFige
made known alT.the facts Of the case
to his own neighbors, and brought to
Mr.. w. his Town ClockciUe sired calf in
the shape of beautifulred COW, which
! I need not say elected from Wright
more astonishment and delight than he
would have exhibited had rich friend
died suddenly, leaving him heir to a
large estate. The very sight Of such
a fne-limbed, graceful, gentle animal,
to say nothing Of her round, plump
bag, shook the faith Of all the Fayette
Wei6stearte in their old Pennsylvania
breeds, and Loverige was cured Of his
prejudices against book farming and
fancy breeds forever. s. w.

How TO START LoOUsF TREEs.---Mr.
Editor: BY your last paper I see that
Mr.. Niles, Of Iowa, wishes some infor-
nation about raising locust trees, and
you want some Of your readers to
answer him. / can inform him, as /
have been s'tIar." Take the seed about
the time of planting corn, and put
them in boiling hot water; let them
cool off, and then plant them in rows
about 8 feet apart (in good mellow
ground, and about 6 inches in the
row. There is no more trouble in
raising them than corn, if you viii
keep the prairie chickens off. Theseed
can be had in Chicago. The borer is
playing sad havoc among the locust
trees here and viii take them all, I
guess. *. 0 iG ~ 1ea
