not alone to prevent the stunning of
the Springs by visitors, but also to
avoid unnecessary alarm, which DIR.
Goforth esteemed the strongest pro-
motive cause. He secuted the idea of
the contagious nature of the disease so
widely prevalent, and inspired other.
with some of the courage and conf
dence he himself felt. After the truth
was fully known as to Adolf's sickness,
Vivette became a heroine in the eyes
of her mulatto waiting maid, and, in
fact, to others except a few young
lady visitors, who declared that it was
"only love scene between her and
her cousin"
One day while attending the toilet
of her temporary mistress, Liza said:
"De ladies say you brave
enough to nuss cholera, cause
you gwine to be married to
you couzin;-your complexion paler
sence Mas'r Adolf's tack, and
make yer ha'r still blacker. Shall l
tuck up desc curls?"
Tuck up the curls, Eliza; they hang
700 low. ne lduleS are very muCn
mistaken"
Not gwine to marry Mas'r Adolf?
How will that look so?" as to the
curlsl.
Never in the world, Eliza. Put the
curls up little closer"
I'm glad" said Eliza. "Ie's too
little, and not good-lookin'; mos ole
'nough to be your fader;" still fixing
the curls.
Eliza, please do not talk of ny
! cousin so. He is my cousin. 1 ought
TO esteem him highly, and do. But 1
should have been just as willing a
nurse for you, Eliza, as for him"
'Missus say you mighty good lady, to
have no ligion."
"Did she, indeed? am sorry she
thinks so. Your mistress is a noble
woman, Eliza"
Thank you, Miss Bivctte. Dress
God she is"
At this moment Mrs. Blake came into
the room. She congratulated Vivette
on the manner in which she had borne
the long vigil during her cousins ILL
ness, and handed her letter which
had arrived from Cincinnati, herself re-
tiring so that Vivette might enjoy the
pleasure of reading it alone.

Red Dutch Currant.

We would like to have the opinions
of readers of the Farmers Review on
the true value of this currant. 1t is

it?
2. On what kind of soil are you grow
ing it?
3. Is the bush heavy bearer?
4. Are you having good success with
it?
5. Is the bush hardy?
6. Is it troubled with fungoid dis
eases?
Z. How does 1t stand drought? ~ :.
s. Do you cultivate it yearly?
9. DO you prune the bushes?
10. Do you fertilize them, and II so,
with what? ,
II. How is the fruit for table use
compared with other varieties?
IL. What is its value for jelly maxi
ing? {
Is. How does 1t sell on the market?
IA. How does Red Dutch compare
with other varieties, everything con-
sidered? ~
