Will Cartoons Ready Answer.

A story of Will Carleton which shows
the popular poets aptness for making
a ready answer. He was recently the
invited guest at q public dinner of jolly
booksellers and stationers. Upon ris-
Ing to recite one of his poems he was
exceedingly annoyed by the loud talk
ing and laughing Of a group at one end
of the table who had INDUCED too
freely in the beverages served. Seeing
that a steady glance did not prevail
the poet said: You will pardon me il
l wait; it would scarcely be polite for
to recite while those gentlemen
over there are talking" At this the
most bOisterous of the group shouted
across the table: 60 ahead, old fell
low. we're going over the hills to the
p0or-house.'" Quick as q fash the
poet answered his interrupter With:
Yes. and to the asylum, too" The
diners shouted at the neat reioinder.
the b~oister0us member was crushed.
and the poet proceeded to the rendering
Of one Of his best poema-W. ]. Box,

"Yours was . beautiful home" he con.
tinued, as b looked up with . smile If
trust and confidence, 'but you were not
happy-perhaps never would have been
within its fateful doors"
mo-" she answered, in q positive tone,
'that I think were impossible, but I shall be
happy with you"
Then the dreary weight left her soul and
. wave Of happiness, Is brightas the circlet
Of western gold, swept aside all misgivings
and the joy Of assurance beamed on her
face.
Behind them were desolate Beechwood
Terrace, which might lever more welcome
the one, and ivy-crowned Heatherleigh,
which could not, would not ever again open
its doors to the other. Before them was the
quiet, unpretentious wedding ceremony in
the little chapel Of All Saints; neal by also
Uncle Earle Fairfax, who was to servea de-
lightful little dinner Just after the wedding
and Just before their departure for their
future home in his pretty villa over there.
Was that all that was before theml No,
not by a great deal. There lay q beautiful
sea of happy sailing for the two hopeful

the character Of the weeds that grow

differ in different localities. though
some OF them appear to be common tn

A QUEENS

Tho Philosophy Of . Princess Noted for
Her Philanthropy.
Forgiveness is almost indifference; who
really loves does not forgive.
A man in love is like an ostrich; he thinks
he is not seen because he does not see
others.
Maternal love is an instinct, but .here are
instincts of Divine origin.
A woman does not become q mother:
she is one from her birth. A numerous
family satisfies her vocation; it does not
create it.
A household without children Is q bell
without q clapper. The latent sound would
be beautiful enough were there something
to awaken It.
Jealousy in a lover is q homage; in q hus-
band an insult.
Friendship based solely upon gratitude is
like q Photographic; in time it fades.
Friendship diminishes when there is too
much happiness on either side and too much
misery on the other.
There is but one happiness-duty. There
is but one consOlation-work. There Il but
one delight-the beautiful.
Happiness when at a distance appears 30
great as to touch the sky. When it enters
our door it so dwindles that very often we
no longer recognize 1t.
Happiness is like the echo; it swe
but does not come.
Seek consolation only in immortal things,
in nature and in thought.
The power Of doing agood action is happi-
ness enough.
Misfortune may make US proud; suffer
ing makes Vi humble.
We are always the martyrs Of our own
faults.
Great misfortune lends greatness even 10
an Insignificant person.
There is a sort of instantaneous brother.
hood between victims Of misfortune.
When you have long been in mourning you
feel attracted by every black cloak you
meet.
The respect people show you in your mis-
fortune diminishes long before you have be-
gun to outlive it, n you are irritated at
being treated as before.
One must indeed be unhappy to attempt
suicide q second time.
Suffering is our most faithful friend. II
often returns. Often it changes its garb
AID even its face, but we soon recognize il
BY its cordial and intimate embrace.
When You are young grief is . tempest
which p~rostrates you; at mature age It is
simply . north wind which adds q wrinkle
to your brow and one more white hair to
your head.
Suffering is sensitive and clairvoyant.
Happiness has firmer nerves, but not %

CHAPTER VIIL.-CoHrINuEp.
COPYRIGHT, 1859.

CHAPTER VIIL.-CoHrISuEp.
A fortnight after parting from Arthur a
note was haudeG her by a servant. 1t was
from her lover, and stated that he had per.
fected his plans for leaving for the mines,
and that he would be at the entrance to the
park from the highway with a carriage for
her on the morrow. ''In the afternoon,
dearest he had written, Il will come;
there is no need Of me asking You to be
punctual in meeting M at the iron wicket
near the chase at three o'clock. as l know
YOU will not fail"
Fail! No, not for worlds, yet a strange
yearning for the dark old Hall, a longing to
be reconciled to the gray haired father,
took possession of her. But more bitter
than the waters Of Mara came the prompt
incs of pride and wounded fi.ial affection.
1t is utterly useless TO grow morbid over
impossibiiities. She must bow to the rod of
q heartiess destiny, and 60 unpardoped and
unloved.
The morning dawned at last that closed
the lorg nervous sennight of waiting.
Miriam woke from a terrible dream of
death, and in an agony of doubt and terror
she sprang from her couch. 1T was but q
Dream" h said, smiling family to her
scared reflection in the mirror. ''but q
dream" Yet she could not help but think
that even dreams were significant m
times. She dared not mention it to Peggy;
for that credulOus creature would, with
her Irish prOpensities for the mysterious,
,:oerpret a terrible revelation, no doubt.
And the yawning mines, the black pits, and
the blackcovered hcarse Of her night
vision would be all but dire realities BY
the time Garrison would be lone with
them. S must not dwell on this; she
must prepare for her flight. Her face
assumed an ashen hue and her eyes
dilated as she thought of this the last day
for her within the hall as its heiress.
Disinheritance would be her COON. That
was what had fallen to the others; those
that had gone before her, and whose
portraits she had SO often seen in the
gallery.
Oh! yes. She must needs pay a visit to
her kindred Of the silent room, doubly her
kindred now, for the day mad arrived At
last that another child of the Percivals was
ready to depart from the frowning shadows
of Heatherleigh. How many sad hearts
had gone from beneath its roof. with the
day of wrath treasured up against them.
IF itmust be, it must," she said, bitterly,
as she walked the shadovy, silent length Of
the low gallery alone an hour before her
departure, taking a last view of the re-
versed faces, hung in line like SO many
gibbet:ed ~souls,'' she murmurcd. Il a
not help being that eldest child neither
am I to blame for the curse of an ancestor
falling to hapless posterity. All! you dear,

NURSERY RHYME FOR TOURISTS

And puppets making scenes,

That they know best OF all

The game OF kingdom ball.
Then pops Nurse Fate out, crying:
They make her head 60 round:
And she gives each lord q whipping.
Quite mistress OF the ground.
There are marionet;es climbing mountains
Which make them look SO small;
And up they go in spite OF
The way they break and fall.
Sometimes there's . big army
or funny little things
That goes and fights . smaller
About two brap-studcd king&
Sometimes a fire-cracker
Explodes when no one sees,
Because some dolls won't answer
When others scoid and tease.

We have q jolly ride
In such q crowded steamboat
With little holes inside
Where We play sleep and comfort:
And then pretend to eat

ASHES As MANURE.

a Good Fertillser when Applied In Lin
tied Quantities.
It has been abundantly demonstrated
by analysis and experience that ashes
of mineral coal are practically of no
value as fertilizers. although the use
of these in finely sifted condition 10
frequently represented as beneficial.
In such cases the benefits are due to
the mechanical changes wrought ON
soils Of a texture that required some
such addition. It must be added, how
ever, that this mechanical action of
coal ashes is, in some soils, injurious.
With the ashes of wood the case il
quite different, these being classed
among the most valuable of fertilizers
The valuable ingredients Of wood
ashes are potash lime and phosphoric
acid, potash leading in Importance,
according to the popular opinion. II
is. however. sometimes difficult to de-
eide to which of these Ingredients the
useful effect exerted by wood ashes il
due. depending. as it does. on the
amount Of each that may have existed
in the soil as plant food previous to the
application Of the ashes. for lime and
phosphoric acid are as essential to
plant growth as is potash.
The ash remaining from the combus-
ton of wood and plants is very small
in volume and weight compared with
the amount Of vegetable matter it rep
resents. but it has been cOnclusively
that q plant can not
grow in the absence of the substances
found in its ash. The ashes OF plants
are. therefore. exceedingly valuable
agents in their own reproduction, for,
although they are not all identical in
their composition. the ash of each
class Of plant differing in some re-
spects from that of others. yet there il
enough similarity existing in all to
make their ashes generally useful. As
they are among the most useful, {.
where wood is used for fuel they may
be pronounced among the most econom-
ical manures. and none should be
wasted. but all be saved and applied to
the land. Leached ashes. though less
valuable, contain most of their original
except a loss in their potash
and soda. They may also be advan-
tageously applied. and will improve all
soils not already saturated with The
they contain.
In general 1t may be said that q
dressing Of from twenty to forty
bushels Of wood ashes will be beneficial
all soils reduced by cropping. never
ertheless . continued yearly applica-
ton OF ashes without a corresponding
use Of vegetable or baruyard manure
would eventually be injurious. For
orchards and for all plants
a woody structure ashes will
be found useful. As a rule ashes will
be found most profitable on soils def
in potash and for crops that Z

The relative proportions Of the aka

number Of the ordinary crops il CON
cisely stated by johnson as follows:
(grain). 50; Legumes (ker-
nels). A; root crops (roots), 60;
grasses In flower, IS. The above may
'erve to indicate in some measure the
crops to which ashes may b most
probably applied.-N. I. World.
