THE DESERTED HOUSE.
By LAURA CURTIS BULLARD.

Not many years ago, the lowerpart OF Broad

Immediate vicinity of the Battery and the
Bowling Green, the merchant princes of New
York built their magnificent residences; their
sons and daughters strolled by moonlight, or
lounged idly by day, in the shaded walks of
the Battery-then the fashionable promenade,

who condescended to worshipin Trinity Church
on the Sabbath.
: But all this has changed, in the space of a
few short years. Before the steady march of
business, fashion has shrunk affrighted; she
has hastily removed to new and more distant
abodes, from which again and again she has
been dislodged by her sturdy enemy, trade,
until at the present time she has established
herself in the upper extreme portion of the

she may be afforded at least short repose be-

softly to Guys apartment. The door was ajar,
and all was quiet there. With sensation of
relief, (for she felt sure that he made his es-
cape,) she stole softly into the room. But at
the sight that met her eyes she shrieked, and
fell fainting to the floor.
In chair near table Guy sat upright, but
quite dead, with his throat cut from ear to ear.
At the sound of the mothers shrek of ag-
ony, the whole household rushed in alarm to
the spot whence the cry proceeded.
Mr.. Fairfax gazed on the corpse as if struck

floor, bore her to her own apartment
The forged draft was provided for by Mr..
Fairfax, and the cause of Guys suicide was
never made public.
Poor Amy fingered for weeks on the bor-
ders of the grave. for the terrible shock of
that night had been too much for her delicate
frame; and when at last she recovered, the
light of reason had fed forever. 7o
She seemed to have no recollection of Guy,
but shrank in horror from her husband. His
presence alone excited her to frenzy, and she
was placed in a private lunatic asylum, where
she died after residence of several years.
Mr.. Fairfax still lives, an aged and broken
hearted man. Soon after his wife's removal
to the asylum he closed their house, which has
ever since remained desolate and unoccupied.
Never to his most intimate friends, does he
speak Of tho past; and whether he intended
merely to give his erring SON lesson before
forgiving and shielding him, or whether he had
resolved to surrender him to justice, to pay
the ll.penalty of the laws which he had vi
olated, will remain a secret forever locked up
in Schuyler Fairfax's breast. 2

THE CATTLE PLAaUE.-Col Harris, ons 81
the commission appointed by Gov. Dennison,
has just returned from the East, and reports
considerable anxiety among the people in con-
sequence of the continued spread and further
development Of the Cattle Disease, in Massa-r
chusetts, Connecticut and New jersey Col.
Fl. thinks that many reports of the breaking
out Of this disease in distant quarters, are very
u.uch exaggerated by the fears Of the people,
s4it seema- hardly possible that the naladye
can be propagated except by direct contaat,
like smallpox, so that complete isolation of q
healthy heard from contact with other animals
is pretty sure safeguard from infection. To
secure this, the most prompt and thorough
measures must be adopted, and the importa-
ton of all neat cattle from the East, among
our Western herds, should be entirely stopped
for the season at least, both by purchase or for
exhibition at our Agricultural Fairs The
report of the Ohio Commission win be looked
for with interest, and the substance of theirin-
vestigation will very soon be made pubhes--

"Trayeling last week on the cars between
Buffalo and Rochester, some what plain-look-

sowing buckwheat the last of May, even before
they had finished planting corn and potatoes.
The planting season is week or ten days ear

do not see why buekwheat should be sown.l
two months later there. The farmers in this

good crops. The late rains have greatly in

THE WAY TO MANAGE HeRsEs.--Never
attempt to clean or otherwise disturb your
horse while eating his meals, unless you want
him to bite and kick But when yon clean,
take him out Of the stall, and make q Business
Of it. Tie your horse in the centre OF the
stall, unless you want your horse TO do as most
horses do, drive more on one rein than on the
other. Horses that are apt to cast themselves
in their stalls, should be tied with neck hais

head than the nose halter. Gentieness, hTp-
ness and moderation will sabdue the most OBJ

One night as my friend P-and myself,
who were both students of the old Yale, were
out taking little run around the city, we
found ourselves, at rather late hour of night,
before the door of a well-known grocer by the
name of SniP..-zasa--- 'ay9~-1i
Stop moment said P, turning and
gazing at Ships fancy sign that was swinging
to and fro in the breeze.
'W hats upr / asked after P had eyed
it for some time contemplatively.
Nothing in particular, Bob,' said he, just
give me little hoist here, and I'll fetch that
picture down in double quick time. ThatSnip
is a scoundrel, for he presented my bill this
morning, and when I refused to pay it, he
threatened to inform the tutor
No sooner asked than received: the sign was
down and we were off in triumph. Suddenly
a window opened and out popped the head of
Snip, crying;
Bring that back, you internal young vii
lainsi Bring that ere back, now tell YER
No answer was returned, but specimen of
very tall walking took place. We were soon
in our room with our door locked and the gilt
tering prize before us, for we had hung on to
it like grim DEATH By the aid of an axe that
CHANGED to be at hand, it was soon reduced to
pieces remarkably adapted to our stove into
which it was fast disappearing as fast as time
would permit. Ere it had passed from sight

tread of two persons apparently nearing our
door.
The steps we recognized as being those of
the Tutor and the other we very rightly con-
jectured belonged to the late proprietor of the
relics around us. -
Here was a fix for us. Enough of the sign
left to convict US, and no place in which to
conceal it.
Rap, rap, rap, was sounded at the door.
I gave myself up to fate, and was about to
go and unlock it, when was arrested by the
voice of P, exclaiming in the mostsolemn
tones imaginable:
sFrom everlasting to everlasting art Thou,
oh, Lord of Hosts
Turning around in establishment l beheld
my friend on his knees engaged in prayer.
The outsiders were evidently astonished, as
no further attack on the door took place. Ships
confidence as to the precise individuals was
doubtless shaken in some degree In the mean
time, took the hint and went to piing in
the sign with a vengeance. P spun out
his prayer, till the last piece was reduced to
ashes, and then raising his voice to high key,
he finished off with the quotations:
eAnd oh, have mercy on this wicked and
adulterous generation, who go about seeking
for SIGN, but shall have no SIGN given them.
Amen :"
This last renewed the suspicious of the out
siders, and they repeated the knocking. We
opened the door; they entered, and after a
minute search in every corner, they gave it up
and decided that we were not the guilty ones
Still noticed as our victim disappeared, his
last gaze turned most wistfully on our stove.
