Hale's Early Peocl.

FURTHER ADVERSE TESTIMONY TO rrs MERITS.
The Oxford Press says;
The utter worthlessnesa Of the peach known as
Hale's Early is being fully established William
s. Kirk, Esq, OF West Chester, who returned
few days ago from Virginia, where he had been
to look after the estate OF the late Lukens
Pierce, OF Ercidoun, informs us that this gentle
man had planted an orchard Of $4,000 Hale's
Early trees on his farm near the James River,
five years ago, but not bushel Of fruit was OBJ
tanned from it the present season. The trees
bloss somed well and were we'll set with fruit. but
1t all roted before maturing. This variety Of
peach has proved almost an entire failure where
ever tried. few years ago Hales Early was
regarded as promising variety.
p. S.-Since writing the above, we learn that
this variety does well in the billy or mountainous
regions Of Virginia and other States. On ac-
count Of being a thin skinned peach they are liza
ble to rot In the humid atmosphere OF the coast.

"Miss Murray, do not allow any of the
events of this morning to trouble you. think
you need fear nothing further from Colonel
Gregory, and I understand too thoroughly
your position to base an insane hope on your
answers to his impertinent queries" .
The lady bowed just as coldly as himself,
as he turned to leave the room then, while
the blood mounted to the roots Of her hair,
she said:
"Mr. Burke -"
He stopped and waited for her to proceed.
She knew very we'll that this man loved her,
and one would have thought it no difficult
matter for her to have said, "Stay!" but she
found it impossible; and, finally, between en-
barrassment and excitement, she broke entire
ly down, and cried as if her heart would
break.
Her companion was bewildered. The SER
want, with considerable tact had left them
Immediately. He must try and soothe her ::
and, approaching the weeping girl, he said,
sadly:
Miss Murray, do you refuse to trust me /?
tell you I will never allow myself to think
of your words-will forget them"
"But," interrupted Maud, halfdefantly-
his stupidity was doing much to allay her
Mysteries don't auant you to forget them"
This, though, lacking somewhat in explicit
ness, was sufficient for even Alton Burkes
comprehension, and to this day the prominent
lawyer rejoices in the misfortune which, by
forcing him into an humble independence,
gave him so fine an opportunity of testing the
reality of his wife's affection.

BE HAPPY Now.-How old are your
Twenty-Five? Thirty? Are you happy to-
day? Were you happy yesterday? Are you
generally? Ifso, you have reason to Judge
that you will be happy by.and-by. Are you
so busy that you have no time to be happy!
and are you going to be happy when you are
old, and you have not so much to dof No
you will not. You now have a specimen OF
what you will be when you are old. Look IN
the face of fto-day. That is about the average.
That will tell you what you are going to be.
What you are carrying along with you is what
you will have by-and.by. If you are so con-
Quoting yourself that you have peace with
God, and with your fellow-men, and with your
faculties if every day you insist that duty
shall make you happy, and you take as much
time as is needful for the culture Of your social
faculties, you will not be exhausting life, and
1t will be continually replenished. But ifyou
are saving everything up till you get to be an
old man, habit will stand like tyrant, and
say, "You would not enjoy yourself before,
and you shall not now" How many men
there are who have ground and ground to
make money, that they might be happy BY
and-by, but who, when they got to be fifty or
sixty years old, had used up all the njoya-
BILE nerve that was in them. During their
early life they carried toll and economy, and
frugality to the excess of stinginess, and when
the time came that they expected Joy, there
was no joy for them.

sTHREE KEERD MONKEY"

Canada Bill has had another exploit. The
Omaha Dispatch says: A few months ago,
as is we'll known by several gentlemen, Bill Of
fered certain railroad one thousand dollars
month for the privilege of working trains"
in the three card monte business He offered
to give bonds to large amount that he
wouldn't take dollar from anybody but
preachers. Of course, this was charged to
Bills prejudice against the clergy, but that
he meant what he said was evidenced by his
pulling out thousand dollars in greenbacks,
and insisting placing it in the hands ofany
one the road might name. 1t is useless to say
he was refused. 1t was not believed that he
ever won dollar of a preacher, but Bill has
recently demonstrated his success in that line
A day or two since he boarded Union Pa
ci6c train in Omaha. In few minutes he
started through the train to see what he might
find, and, at last, sat down along side min
lister bound for California on pleasure ex-
cursion. Bill had farm near Pappillion, so
he said, and had just been to Chicago and sold
thirty-seven hundred dollars worth of cattle.
After getting on good terms the minister and
Bill were interrupted by stranger passing
through the car and dropping several playing
cards on the floor just in front of them. Bill
picked them up and commenced toying with
them. The minister deprecated their intro
duction into the world. Bill then went on
telling him how some fellows had "took him
in CT the keers" several days before on game
they called "three keerd monkey" and gave
a halfway explanation of the show of it."
JusAthen beardless boy came in, and af-
ter listening some time to Bills story, said:
"Now look ahere, old man l can guess them
cards." Bill let him try several times, and
sure enough, the boy never missed once, and
lost no opportunity to intimate against Bills
brains The latter at last got mad, and offer
ed to bet his watch against the boys. The
boy jumped at the chance and lost his watch.
Bill then went to another car to get rid of the
boy, who was boohooing at terrible rate
about that watch being given to him by his
dying father, and he must have it back again
or he could never face his dear old mother
again. The minister paciGed him, and so far
gained his confidence that he explained how
he had made a mistake, and if he just had
some more money he would win the watch
back. He explained it so perfectly to the
minister, that the latter told him he had some
gold and would risk it if the boy would do the
betting. The young innocent agreed, and
went into another car after Canada Bill who
came in, but didn't want to bet. He was a
plain, honest farmer, and not gambler. But
the preacher showed him how unjust it was
not to give the boy chance for his watch, and
Bill consented. Soon two hundred and fifty
dollars of the minister's gold was gone. Papio,
shouted the brakeman and Bill threw down
the keerds" and told his antagonists that he
lived there and must get off and "go hum"
The boy became so desperate at this that he
was determined to get off there too and follow
the old farmer home and get that watch back.

A SEA FIGHT ON THE SrAGE.-A French
correspondent of the Orchestra gives some de-
tails of the working of the wonderful ship
scene in the Galete drama Of "La Fills de la
Mutt" We are told the stage is entirely
cleared, and three long lines Of rails are LAID
down-one coming straight down from the
back towards the footlights, and another from
the left wing, while the last traverses the stage
at the first grooves. The big vessel, mounted
complete upon platform furnished With
rollers, remains till wanted at the extreme
back Of the stage, and is pushed down the
rails and turned to the left ready to enter.
The painted cloth, representing the ocean, is
then laid down, and the first row of "waves"
take their place. They are little boys, who,
armed with semi-circular canes, creep under
the canvas, and, pushing their covering, iml-
tate the movement Of the sea. There are
ffty of these useful aids in all; the second
row being composed of full grown men on
their knees, and the last and most stormy un-
dulations of the main are formed by the move
ments of auxiliaries who stand erect. The
electric light plays upon the tops of the waves,
and the brig appears. It soon reaches the
middle of the scene, where turntable is
fixed, supported by the robust shoulders Of
twenty-five men, who, by moving up and down
in measure, initiate the rolling and pitching
of ship in a gale of wind. The attacking
boats now come along the horizontal line Of
rails, and the vessel is boarded and taken
after hot hand.to-hand fight. When the
piece was first produced some years ago Mr..
Fechter was playing in Paris, and his presence
averted contretemps. The cloth represent
ing the sea gave way in one part, and the
head and bust of one of the "waves," who,
for the sake of GOODNESS, had divested himself
Of his upper garments, came through, and re-
mained fully exposed to the gaze OF the au'
dience. Mr.. Fechter, who represented the
pirate captain, and was supposed to command
on deck, did not lose his presence Of mind, but
Immediately cried out "a man overboard!'
Aided by the crew the amazed super was v,
hauled on board, amid the applause Of the
gratifed spectators, who fancied that this res
cue from watery grave formed part Of the
play.

A CAUTION TO W1vE.-Falsehood is one
of the gravest of crimes in the terrible list
of human delinquencies, for not only does it
corrupt and ultimately destroy the individual,
but difuses around a noxious vapor that in
lures all who come within the range of its de-
structive qualities, In a woman it is 80 re-
pulsive, that wife who outrages this law Of
her nature debases her mind, destroys her
husbands confidence in her integrity, and in
time becomes so contemplate in his eyes, that
his affection totally disappears. "Can the
husband" inquiries distinguished authoress,
"ever look again with perfect satisfaction on
the countenance of his wife after the first
falsehood has polluted her lips? Alas no;
barrier has been broken down, and the
waves of sin and sorrow roll in upon their
paradise of domestic enjoyment"
