I suppose I must tell what that first paper was, though had much rather not, for am so heartily ashamed of the whole business as never to have looked at the article since the first hut- ter of it went off. It was on "Female Writers on Practical Divinity" I wrote away, in my abominable scrawl of those days, on foolscap paper, feel ing nightly like fool all the time. I told no one, and carried my expen- sive package to the post-office myself, to pay the postage. I took the letter V for my signature-I cannot at all re- member why. The time was very near the end of the month. had no defl- mite expectation that I should ever hear anything of my paper and cer- tainly did not suppose it could be in the forthcoming number. That num- Der was sent in before service-time on . Sunday morning. My heart may have been beating when I laid hands on it; but it thumped prodigiously when saw my article there, and, in the Notices to Correspondents, 8 re- quest to hear more from V. of Nor wich. There is certainly something entirely peculiar in the sensation of seeing ones self in print for the first time the lines burn themselves in upon the brain in way of which black ink is incapable in any other mode. So 1felt that day, when I went about with my secfet-I have said what my eldest brother was to us-in what reverence we held him. He was just married, and he and his bride asked me to re- turn from the chapel with them to tea. After tea he said, "Come now, we have had plenty ;4-willread you something; and he held out his hand for the new Repository. After glancing at it, he exclaimed, ''They have got new hand here. Listen" After paragraph, he repeated, "Ah this is 8 new hand they have had nothing so good as this for long while." ct would be impos. sible to convey to any who do not know the Monthly Repository of that day, how very small 8 compliment this was.) I was silent of course. At the end of the first column, he exclaimed about the style, looking at me in some wonder at my being as still as mouse Next (and we'll remember his tone and thrill to it stilD his words were "What fine sentence that is Why do you not think so ?" I mumblet out, sillily enough, that it did not seen anything particular. "Then," said he 'you were not listening. I will reat it again. "There nowI' As he stil got nothing out of me, he turned rount upon me, as we sat side by side on tn sofa, with Harriet, what is the matte with you? I never knew you SO sloy to praise anything before." I replied in utter confusion, q never coul' bafae anybody. The truth is, tha paper is mine." He made no reply read on in silence, spoke no more till
 was on my feet to come away. H then laid his hand on my shoulder and said gravely Calling me "dear for the first time), ''Now, dear, leav it to other women to make shirts an darn stockings; and do you devot yourself to this." went home in
 sort of dream, so that the squares ( the pavement seemed to float befol my eyes. That evening made me a authoress.-Harriet Mortiaeau's Aut, biography.

Kind Offices.

Few things can be done to oblige others but at the expense of some conve- nience, qualification, or wish of our own; and he whose means are limited should seek to evince his attachment to friends or family by every little sacri- flee in his power. We attend to large concerns for own sakes; we should at tend to lesser ones for others. Our eff forts to please others never fail to re- ward ourselves. There is nothing more lovely than to love to oblige others nevertheless, it is the duty of discreet man not to be so far overcome by his obliging humor as to promise anything that is desired of him without consider ing whether he can or ought to grant it.

To all questions he replied with a song, and on the scaffold, and in the presence of 6,000 persons, he asked and obtained permis- sion to say a few words. Then he begged the throng to join in the chorus of a popular ditty, ''There were four asses in field, nipping the tender grass" which consisted of limitations of praying. Then said Jean: ''I die happy, because at my last moment l have heard 6,000 asses praying at once, and have no desire to live with such felloW-creatures.''

Hydriodate of Morphtne.-This new compound. which permits of being used in medicine, has been prepared by Earnst Schmidt both by dissolving nor. phine in hydriodic acid and by the &C., tion of acetate of morphine on iodide of potassium. The product in both cases was identical. Both crystalline in long needles, with silky luster and grouped in rosettes. The composition is repre- sented by the formula c H NO H I, and 2H O. When heated to the temperature of boiling water, it loses the two mole- cules of water, but recovers them on exposure to the air. It is but slightly soluble in cold water, more so in hot water. The hydrobromate of morphine is very similar to the above, crystallizes like it, and the crystals also contain two molecules of water.

 IF AMERICAN agriculture has an un- satisfied need, 1t is surely the need for more intelligence and more enterprising interest on the part of it's working men and women. From one end of the land to the other, it's crying defect-recog- nized by all-is that it's best blood-or, in other words, it's best brains and it's best energy-is leaving it to seek other fields of labor. The influences which lead these best of the farmers sons to other occupations is not so much the de- sire to make more money, or to find a less laborious occupation. as it is the desire to lead more satisfactory life-a life where that part of us which has been developed by the better education and better civilization for which, in this century, we have worked so hard and so well, may find responsive compan- ionship and encouraging intercourse with others.
