that Aunt patty took unusual pains with her

Mrs Earle, with a rem,olrseful twinge at her

Mrs. Earle, with remorseful twinge at her
heart
'If one of us must, I'd ratherit should be
me-, said Henry; aud then he sat and bore
the drenching braysly until they reached
home.
There was q good FIRE aud warm tea, but
though the others were soon comfortable,
nothing seemed TO cure Henry Earle of his
miserable chilliness. BE retired early, hoping,
or pretending. to hope, that bed aud rest would
help him. And morning found him indeed
Estelte, Inexperienced as she was, felt that he
was seriously Ill.
A physician was sent for, and for days the
wretched wife hung over her husbands pillow,
feeling that if he died her vanity aud her
wish to reproach him for her plain wardrobe
the contemplate feelings which had filled her
bosom at the sight of a rich woman's fnery,
so that for an hour or two she had no love for
him-had absolutely murdered him.
Mrs. Duff had gone home There were no
splendid dresses to envy near at hand She
felt that she would willingly wear rags and
live upon dry bread all her life, if by those
means she could buy the precious lie that
seemed fast fading. And at last. in her
agony, she knel. beside his bed, and putting
his wasted fingers to her lips begged for
giveness.
"If had worn that shawl you would no.
have been here,' she said
And he answered:
''I had better be here. I shall die, aud
some rich man may be your husband, some
one can give you alltI cannot"
1t seemsd then to Estelle that God had put
out His hand and especially cursed her.
"Oh, my darling u she said SIT was only
one wicked moment. What are all the costly
things on earth to me now? If l lose you
lose all that care for.''
"Invery truth, Es,ele," hesaid ;"even If
am never rich 2"
You know it is true" she said
lie looked in her face
eyes," lie said. Yes, Estelle, hope
God will let me live now
And Henry Earle did not die he began
to mend from that day. and was soon restored
to strength and health. But Estelle never
forgot how nearly her foolish pride and vanity
had been her husbands death, and strove to
crush all remnants of those feelings in her
soul from that time henceforth.
Whenever paug of jealously was awa>
keued in her mind by the costly dress and
furniture of some other woman she had but
to say to herself ''Bnt have my Henrv,"
and it vanished. And now. though Mr..
Earle is one of the wenlthiest men in his ma
tive city, Mrs. Earle is known as one who
never cares for dress, and who is almost
averse to splendor of attire aud extravayaut
surroundings.

The Sunfower.

ii. Y. Jordan, ESQ.,, proprietor of Jordan's
White Sulphur Springs, and one of the Lead
ing bee culturists of the Valley, sends us the
following clipping, which we publish for the
benefit of our farmers and bee culturists
The highly ornamental ard extensive ee.
nus of plants to which the sunfower belongs
derives its scientific name, hekianflus. from
hettos, sun, and dnthos flower, on account
OF the brilliant color of the flower, and from
the erroneous idea, prapogated by poets and
authors, that the flowers always turned to-
ward the sun-hence, also, the French name
touraeso1 It appears to possess far more ore
profitable qualities than have been, hitherto
supposed, and may be cultivated with advsn.
tage and applied to many useful purposes.
Au acre of land will contain %. 900 sun
flower plants, at. twelve inches distance from
each other.
.'The great varietyfof vslusble properties
belonging to the ssuuaower seed have been
much neglected. No plant produces such
fine honey and wax and when the flower is
in blossom, bees abound on it. The produce
will be according TO the nature of the soil and
mode of cultivation; but the average has
been found to be fifty bushels of the seed per
acre, which will yield City gallons of oil. -
The oil is excellent, when refined, for table
use,- for burning in lamps, for soap making.
and for painting, especially for mixing green
and blue paints. The marc or refuse of tho
seeds of the above quantity, after the oil has
been expressed, made iuto cakes, will weigh
] 800 pounds, and the stalks. when burnt for
aIkaii, will give ten per cent of potash
The green leaves of the sunflnwer, when
dried and mixed with brap, make excellent
fodder for mi!ch COWS. The oil mikes an adj
mirah'e soap, particularly soltening to tho
hands and face. and it is pleasant to shave
with. The cake is superior to lnsced for fat
tening cattle. Sheep, pigs, pigeons rabbits,
poultry of all sorts, etc., will fatten rapidly
upon it. and prefer the seed to any other; it
causes pheasants in particular to have much
more glossy plumsge, and to be plumper iu
the body. 1t also increases the quantity of
eggs from poultry fed with it. The seed,
shellcd, makes when ground very fine sweet
-four for bread, particularly tea cakes.
''The suniower will grow in any corner
that may be vacant, and will give farm a
most agreeable, garden-like appearance It
shontd be planted about twelve inches apart,
and about one inch deep, aud when about
foot high should be earthed up: it will then
require further attention Every single
seed will produce GOO or more; the main
head generally produces 800 to 600 seeds,
md there are usually four colate7als, pro-
ducng so to so seeds each"
In private letter to ue, Mr. Jordan says
81 raised small patch of sunflowers this
year. and shall plant about an acre next

LINES TO A. "a. q.

loved thee, darling. long ago,
But we were children then;
i never Thought NV loveiyon'd know.
80 But when we met again
fOunn my love was still the same.
Though years had passed away-s
L fnund your presence fauned the flame
Ieat in my bosom latent lay.
I The forest leaves around ne fall
In silence to the ground:
But they viii be replaced again
y Within an annual round.
Bat all my hopes, alas, are gone,
10 never, never come agaln;
For 1 have loved, and loved but one,
% And all my loving was in vain..
Tho gentle zephyrs bring
q No soiace home to me: .l,-l5
Ite woodland snnosters sing
Aad remind me, love. of thee.
Ihv low sweet voice hear
When the birds are caroinr
ana NV spirit seems to cheer
AS pature's cheered by spring.
When think upon thy face,
That never more may see,
MY aching heart would leave its place
And speed aw:lv to thee;
If thnu cOuldst but believe
What love feet for thee,
Thy gentle heart;would pT1eve;
And thou wouldst sigh fer me.
But would not cause thy gentle heart
A single paug or wne-
In0ug' it mi iEht jov to me impart-
For all the gems below.
Nav God protect You. gentle one,
And give Won Increased grace
ILat whom this earthly race Is run
You'll SEQ him face TO face.
And if in life 1T is my lot
Thy form to never more behold,
Wacn earthLY Mains are all forgot
ana am taid be:iaath the mould.
III lreet thee in better land
Ber0nd the Confines OF the grave;
Where VIC Will JON the ANGEL hand
In home which our dear Saviour cave.
