her mind, and she soon entered convent

Six months after that fatal day, Just as
the time for her to take her VOWS was an

led by letter from their daughter, inform.
ing them that she had altered her mind
and wished to 90 back to them, to the
world, to pleasures, to happiness. For the
last three nights, she said, she had seen in
her dreams her beloved Charles, entreating
her. with tears in his eyes and the sweet
est voice, not to fulhll her terrible resolu-
ton, not to complete sacrifice which
would be the death Of them both. For
Charles was yet alive and would be soon
back, to keep his sacred promise and end
all her griefs. The nuns of the convent
had good humoredly laughed at her, and
tried to persuade her to stay amongst them.
in that quiet retreat, where she might. IN
disturbed, lament all her life the dear com
panion of her youth. Fox he was dead,
said they, and it was foolish to believe in
those supernatural apparit;ons. But she
was unshaken in her faith, and 20 all their
cntreatic3 she would answcr that her te-
trothed would soon be back, and. of course,
she must be at home 10 receive him.
Although the parents Of the young pos
tulant' did not believe, any more than the
nuns, that such 4 strange dream would ev-
er be realized, they were so much gladden.
ed by the letter Of their daughter that thew
decided not to say one word to undeceive
her. She might 90 on from day to dav,
hoping all the time for an arrival which
would never take place, and little by little
they thought the deep wound Of her heart
might be healed
Accordingly, on that very DAY, they
went to the convent, and in less than one
hour their only child was crossing again
the threshold Of the old family mansion
Her first thought was for her little room.
where she had gathered 50 many dear to-
kens and souvenirs from her cousin She
hastens up stairs, and she goes so fast that
her delighted parents can hardly follow her
But when she is on the landing, whom
does she see, standing in the door of that
room so long shut up? Charles, her aE
tianccd, who looks at her, smiling with hap
piness, and opens his arms to clasp her to
his bosom
1t is no longer a dream. Charles holds
her locked in his ar.as, kissing her and
mingiing his tears with her own. But
when he opens his arms again to receive
the caresses Of her parents, she sinks and
drops heavily upon the floor.
She was dead dead with surprise and
happiness dead without uttering one cry,
without heaying one sigh

Save the Leaves.

IF Brother Jonathan were as saving Of

better farmer. No ono knows until he
has seen ii, how careful English and Euro
pean farmers aud gardeners are Of every
thing WHICH can be converted into manure,
And this is one ground of their superiority
in agriculture.
Now let US respeat what we haYe often
said, that few things are more valuable for
fertilizing purposes than deeayed leaves
They are hardly inferior to barn yard ma
nure. Gather them up, now this very
month Of November, before they are COW
cred by the snow They are abundant
everywhere, lying in heads and windrows
in the forest and by the roadside, and by
the fences in every yard. The wood-lot
should not be stripped clean of them bu5
doubtless every farmers land contains more
of them here and there, than lie can find
time SO cart home. Gather them up by
raking, or BY sweeping with large birch
broom. Stack them and pack them in the
large wagon, adding side boards as high as
convenient: you viii hardly get too heavy
load. Cart them home, and use them as
bedding for cattle and horses use them

Extraordinary Story.

The last number of the French Psyche
has a story of love affair which has deep
ly moved the whole population Of Mar
seilles, but will hardly be credited by per-
sons who do not believe in supernatural ap-
partitions, However, here is the story in
as few cords as possible
Charles R was born in wealthy
family Of merchants, and an orphan from
his childhood, had been brought up at his
uncle'S with cousin whose beauty, sweet
ness and graces never failed to produce a
lasting impression on all persons of her ac-
quaintance. 1t is consequently not at all
surprising that Charles r., who had grown
up In her intimate society, should have fall
len deeply in love with such fascinating
cousin. Nor was his love unrequited for,
when the proper time came, she decided
With the consent of her family, that their
marriage should take place as soon as he
was twenty years Of age. Just about that
time, his uncle, having received from Cal
cutta the news Of the failure of house
with which he was doing an extensive bust
ness, sent the young Charles to that dist
ant port to effect liquidation. The mar
riage was necessarily postponed, and the
young lover left Marseilles, promising to
write as often as God and the ocean would
allow, and to return as soon as his business
was settled.
-Four months passed on and no news
came from the young traveller. His rela-
tions, and more particularly his cousin, be-
gan to feel uneasy and we're already accu-
sing him of neglect, when one day they
read in the papers Of the total loss Of the
steamer on which they knew that Charles
had gone. The young MarseilIaise vas
almost mad with grief; and after lcng
and dangerous illness, the poor girl, dis
heartened, and seeing before her nothing
but complete blank, resolved 70 spend
the remainder Of her life in convent, to
mourn, far from the world, for the only one
she had ever loved It was in vain her pa
rents tried to dissuade her from that reso-

DR.. Livingstone, the Explorer in Africa
heard from


Livingstone IS quietly awaiting in south
Africa the arrival of the new seryiceable
steamer which the lords of the admiralty
have just sent out to replace the old worn
out boat with which he has been steaminc
up and down the waters Of The Zambesi
and its tributaries. A concise and interest
ing account of the geography and ethnolo-
gy Of the valley watered by the most i'm
pOrtant Of these tributaries, the Shire, was
sent by him TO the British association,
at its last meeting lie describes the whole
region as beautiful and healthy, and the
soil as rich and productive. The natives
are docile, and eager for trade The river
is navigable at all seasons for $50 miles,
with the exception of space Of 80 miles,
where the cataracts impeded the progress
Of the steamer. Livingstone dwells more
emphatically than ever upon the cotton
growing capabilities of this portion of At
RIGA. He scarcely excerpts our own cotton
belt, when he says that no part of the
world is better adapted TO the growth of
this plant which plays snch an important
ro!e in commerce and politics. He looks
forward to the day when the valleys of the
Shire and the Nyassa shall furnish the
looms of Manchester a quantity of the
raw material as great as that now supplied
by the Southern States Of the American
Union. He afirms that one tract in the
neighborhood Of the Shire is especially fit
ted for the culture of sea island cotton.
