An italian Love Story.

Not apocryphal, but just as it treaty.
happened twenty years ago, you shall
have the story. Near Spezzia, on the
Mediterranean coast, there lived an
Italian family, not very. wealthy but in
comfortable circumstances. The family
was composed of a gentleman and lady,
and their daughter. The latter, when
she had reached her sixteenth wear
twenty years ago) fell deeply and
passionately in love with young Off
Ger who requited her love. But the
parents of the damsel disapproved of
the match, and, alarmed at the progress
of this attachment, they used their in
fiuence to the utmost, and contrived to
marry their. daughter to Count, a
wealthy man, clever, well-informed,
and very anxious for the match, though
many years older than the young girl.
marriage took place, though the
Count was fully aware of previous at
tachment. Probably he thought it
merely young girls fancy, and the
parents did their best to make him be-
lieve that it was SO. Unfortunately.
the result proved their mistake. The
young girl dropped and pined- never
smiled, and could not be persuaded to
forget the past. Her husband fell into
the mistake of taking her to his house,
near her home, near all the associations
which he should most have dreaded
and avoided. He became more and
more devoted to her-she turned from
him with ever-increasing dislike. At
length her state Of health alarmed the
who ordered an immediate
change Of scene But the mischief was
done already. From morning till night
be unhappy young creature would sob
ind moan and nothing could comfort
1er. They Travelled over France, Ger
many and Spain, but the only effect Of
:hanga was 70 bring on extreme indif-
erence and listlessness, which IN

COUNT found that be had done NO GOOD

DAYS. It was before there was such .
time about high-bloods, records, pedi-
grees, and all that sort Of talk that
makes so many folk foolish and unreal
sonable. Well, mother said she thought
she could pick out good COW. and it
would cost no more to keep good one
than poor one; SO, after looking
through several yards and milking
quite 3 number and testing the milk,
she found one that pleased her. 1t was
trim, cherry-red COW, with q dark
face, short horns, and rather small in
size, five years old; and mother paid
twelve dollars for her. :.
In those days, village people turned
their cows into the road, or /" long pas
tuire,'' as they called it; 50 there was no
expense for summer keeping; but they
always kept them either inthe stable or
yard over night. 1t was the 10th OF
August that we drove that little COW
home. saw some of the men wink
knowingly as we passed, and one OF the
neighbors said he hoped we hadn't got
cheated; another said, g 1t was just as
much as woman knew about cows. !"
We put her into box-stall, and mother
and / held council while we leaned
over the gate and contemplated our
property. 81 will do the milking, for
YOU cannot milk as fast as / can, and
cow needs to be MIXED as quick as pos
sible; and you must take the rest of the
care of her. said mother, who was
over fifty-eight years of age, while |
was only nineteen. 90 we settled it,
and that little COW became part of our
domestic arrangements, and her COM
fort was my special care.
She was one of the most gentle, do
Gle, loving animals that ever saw;
she just acted as though she reasoned
matters in her own wise head. She
was a pattern for regularity. She al
WAYS announced her return home by a
low. pleasant call. Wepetted, and fed
her by no rule or stint. She had her
pail Of Stops regularly, night and MORN
ing. We bought two tons of hay for
her, and that, with corn-fodder, pota-
toes and Stops, with four bushels of
wheat middlings and bran mixed, car
ried her through winter.
Now, as it is fashionable to keep rec
ords of profit and loss, l am going to
conform to the fashion, because think
that can tell as big a story as anyone,
and, moreover, that have no favorite
breed to advertise or talk about. l
think cow that is carefully and kind
ly treated and messed, will bring ample
returns; but you do not want more than
one cow to pet at a time. We kept our
g Bossy'' four years, and she never
went dry day We fattened four
calves, and here stands the account, as
my mother kept it over forty years ago:

The Obelisk.

We may now take it for granted that
| the remaining Alexandrian obelisk is
secured for the City of New York. The
munifcence of single gentleman has
anticipated the gradual, if certain, con-
tributions of a number of our citizens,
and thus prevented the Khedive's offer
from being met by any seeming ungra-
ciousness Of delay. We cannot recall
any former instance when the POSSIBLE
ity of splendid addition to the grow
ing attractions of our city has been so
instantly and generously converted into
certainty. Even if the Khedive's
consent to a suggestion, which appears
to have been originally made by the
English contractor, be only understood,
but not formally expressed, we may
safely assume that it is given. There
is every reason to suppose that if the
request had been made by a committee
of gentlemen representing the city, it
would have been willingly granted.
The Khedive has always received
American visitors with special cordial
ity; his army has been organized, and
is chiefly commanded, by American
officers, and he is quite aware of the
Importance of the increasing trade be-
tween Egypt and this country. More
over, the Obelisk, as it now stands, is
the ope relic of the Egyptian past
which can most readily be spared.
We have noticed expressions of regret
that the "Needles' should be taken
away from Alexandria. But we must
remember that they were originally
erected in Heliopolis (the On of the
Bible) in the sixteenth century before
Christ; then, in the first century of our
era, transported 100 miles from that
city, and set up in front of the Cesa-
rum, the temple which Alexandria
erected to Augustus Cesar. This
temple has utterly vanished from the
earth, and the obelisks are as COM
pletely sundered from their associa-
tons as that in Paris. And Egypt is
still rich in obelisks. Among the ruins
of San-the Zodn of the old Hebrews
in the Delta, lie no less than ten, all
overthrown and some shattered. AT
Heliopolis, an obelisk sixty-eight feet
high, which was, four centuries old
when Moses was born, still stands
erect. In the temple of Luxor there is
one of seventy-fve feet in height, the
mate of that in Paris. Karnak pos
sesses four, two of which are ninety-two
feet high, and in the granite quarries
at Assouan lies supreme monolith of
feet, which appears to have
been left there on account of a flaw in
the stone. All these keep their origi-
nal places, and the ruins of the ages

Moreover, we had what milk, cream
and butter we wished for our own use,
and kept nice shoat beside. The
last year we kept the cow, an ordinance
was passed that cows should not run at
large, and so we concluded to give up
our COW, and sold her for just forty-five
dollars. She was nine years old; a
dairyman bought her. and he called her
a very poor COW. She was so homesick
that she came out a perfect skeleton in
the spring, and although she was three
miles from us, she would jump her
fence and come believing home, two or
three times a week. She, of course,
had no extra care of any kind-no pet
ting or brushing and this was the re-
suit.
Now, when / read those wonderful
accounts of such profitable cows, it al
ways reminds me of our pet Bossy;;"
and l think, if the whole story were
told, that perhaps those splendid cosset
Jerseys, Devons, Ayrshires, and other
high breeds, might prove very different
animals under different treatment. A
COW il treasure in family; and the
better you treat them, the more re-
munerative they will be- A very COM
mon animal by care and gentleness,
will become very valuable creature;
and therefore, because a COW kept by
herself is a great butter and milk pro-
Queer, that is no reason why in large
dairy, where she has no special cod
ding, she will be any better than the
generality of cows. Ibelieve in telling
the whole story; then the truth will be
understood in all its bearings. OF
course, there are some skim-milk cows
that no care or feed would make first
class animals. --Cor. Rural Neso Yorker.
