MISCELLANY. OKIGIXAL. TRIZC STORY. LUCY GRAFTON'S - VIST TO THE CITY ! (cONTltfVED W ritiea Easreeety f r tie Laaltvllle Ger!e. BY MATT IE CRIFnTn. chaptek tr. hen Lucy joined the family, ahe was sur- print J and wounded at the cold, scornful and in- sulting looks with which they greeted her. 'And so you have been flirting with Kensington De Vere; your verdant manner of conducting the wr, quite put to shame my. generalkhip pray, where did you learn Cupid's tactics T' said La Papilon. 'I waa ashamed of tbe forwardness with which you contrived to monopolize his atten- tions,' added Aspasia, 'Insufferable vulgarity '.' exclaimed the Ma- dame, 'but thia comes of the introduction of country girls to the city.' Lucy was overpowered ahe waa like a Iamb, dumb liefore the shearers. They seemed to be to ahear off every merit or virtue ahe pos- sessed. "I can tell you, interposed the pert La Fapilen, 'that Kensington is desperately in love with Julia Freelove he proposed to her yesterday, to my rerttun knowledge. 'Both of my girls rejected him before he went to Europe,' put in the Madame. Lucy Woked first from one te the other, with a face of anxious, pleading inquiry. She could not interpret their strange insinuations, or open accusations. 'You muftt loam, Mies Graften, that boldneea and impcrlinance are not countenanced in the city. If you are in the habit of courting gentle- men, and tusking your attentions very marked to them, it may possibly do ia the country, but we do net allow it in the city.' After Mrs. Burklie had delivered herself of thia speech, ahe looked to her daughters for approval, and then swej-- t from the parlor. Lucy was choking with mortification, wounded pride and even anger, hut hers waa a timid na ture, and feared to speak out right. She trem bled in the presence of her tormenters, and their lavish taunts sank pointed and barbed inta her tender heait. Blinding tears gathered to her eyea, and rolled down her cheeks to fall unnoticed in her bosom. Henrietta and Alverda, having eatisfied their wrathful envy, left their victim. Lucy, as soon aa ahe realized that ahe waa alone, threw herself upon a crimson draperied lounge and wept bit terly. 'Why, oh why did I leave home and mother! to court misery! In this splendid spacious man sion, surrounded by the gorgeoua appliancea of wealth, I am kr more wretched than ever I waa in my cottage home, humble, though, it was. There, all was love and kindness; here, everything is coldness and aversion. How eaa I bear, with ailcnt patience, their scoffing jests and bitter taunts. Vet I must not distress my dear mamma by telling her of these things. She thinks I am arrr I 112081 - destroy tbe delusion. As she rose from her recumbent sttitude, she spied, in a large F reach mirror hanging - iu urure vf a man, a "hI mat fig ure she would have recognized, no mat ter where she had seen it. Twaa a figure, destined frequently to glide through her dreams ' and brighten, with iu starry radiance, the solitude of many a coming hour ! Though she had not sen it often, yet waa it set, like a star, forever in her heart. Hoping that she bad not been ob served, ahe quietly stole away from the room, never trusting her eyea to follow the figure. As she passed through the deor, she encountered Hatty, who was entering, she paused not, but rapidly sped on till ahe reached her own room. and there gave free vent to her grief and also to her enthukiaam. For, despite the insults which she was forced to bear w ith uncomplaining sorrow, she felt that the mere meeting with De Vere was ample atonement. She felt that the cross of suffering waspleVant, when it w as surmounted by suca a crown of blessedness What a strange, beautiful mvstery is 'he heart of woman in love, how it thrills and vibrates, like a harp of many tuneful strings ! What a never-ceasin-g melody it gives forth! Lucy erniled through her tears, as the thought of Kensington nestled down in her heart, and what wild and dreamful confusion it bred there! The echoes of his manly tones lingered lovingly in the sha dowed chambers of her spirit, and sent forth many a musie note to soothe her anxious heart! Aa she brooded over these fancies, she was in' temspted by the entrance of Hatty. Looking up with a smile, (for her dream ings had dispelled all gloom and resentment,) she was surprised at the woman's impudent floun cing and murmured criticisms, such as coantry folk do take on wonderfully when they come to town; but it is easy te tell who is who. People are knewn by their clothes, old silks, faded rags; and then to think of 'em trying to entrap the pick and choose of the gentry, just as if rich men would look at the like of them. Then to linge in the parlor hav appointments with young men that don'i look righ' All this waa deli vered in a suppressed tone, jus', loud enough to reach Lucy's ear, and accompanied by numerous insolent gesticulations. Now surely thia was more than she could bear. To receive the insults of the family waa enough, but to tolerate the im pertinence of domestics, required a degree of pa tience unknown to humanity; yet Lucy, with the endurance of a martyr, submitted even to this au dacity. At tea table, she waa subjected to the defiant glances of Aspasia, who reigned an Olympian Juno in the Burklie hausehold. Then the tart words of La Tapilon blent harmoniously with the invidious allusions of the Madame. To all of this the poor girl returned no re;Iy. Mr Earklie evidently suspected something, when. he quiet!y,but kindly, asked Lucy if she had pas sod a pleasant day. The mother and daughters ex changed significant glances. Of course Lucy gave her uncle a satisfactory answer, declaring herself well pleased. 'I should think Miss Grafton was highly de- lighted he contrived to keep Mr. De Vere by her aide for the best portion ot the day, said La Tapilon, with a toss of her pretty head. Mr. Burklie made ne answer, for he perceived, from the cloud on his wife's brow that a domestic storm was rising, and as be wished to escape its fury, he gulped down his tea and left for his counting-roo- His home had for him charms. His wife had nothing to offer him but complaints of her health, which, to every one but herself, seemed excellent, or abuse of ths w wants. The girls nothing but a fresh "demand for money; there was always a new bonnet want. e l, ribbon, gloves, dresses, or some gew-ga- that required a, least a twenty-doll- bill, and he dared not refuse, or mamma would be summoned, and in the plenitude of her power, site could dra forth the required sum. After the departure of Mr. Burklie, Lucy Iin gered a moment at the table, when the Madame spoke up, sayinj: 'Miss Grafton, I was much surprised and offand ed to learn that you had a private interview with Mr. De Vere after we left the parlor. Now this dues not look well, and such forwardarss I cannot allow under my roof.' 4I have heard a great deal of the verdaacy of country girls, but I must aay that you are up to the nicest ruse of a eeartezan, aaid the unblush- ing Aspasia. 'Hatty aaw you sneaking and stealing away from observation. Pray, what private business had you with Mr. De Vere ?' asked La Papilon. Lucy waa overwhelmed w ith amaiement aad anger at lhme charges. What do you all mean V broke from her lips mora like a cry of anguish than the proud inter' roation of an insulu-- wr m in. Oh, lovely innocence!' ths three ladias exclaim- ed simultaneously. 'Hatty aaw you ! Hatty saw you ! er'ad La Tapiln. ' hat did Htlly seev and the words were uttered with a cold breath and a fraezing tone; for Lucy began to see that forbearance was thrown sway upon them. tVby were you not svb-ro- with Mr. De Vere!' tr.utrphantly asked Apai THE LOUISVILLE Lucy commanded herself sufficiently to e xplain I that aha left ths room aa Mr. De Vara entered. The servant-ma- n was next called up and examined. I in rortunately for Lucy, hie evidence eared ber I from ebeolute obloqiy. He testified that Mr. De Vera had forgotten hie glove and came back to eeek it. But it may be that the glove waa the amalleet oauee. A half hope and a whole desire to look again upon the girl who had eo strangely hint, may hare been the real object of I hia return, though the glove waa an ostensible reason. of 'We should never have suspected yo but for your toe obvious forwardness,' said Aspasia. Lucy had regained her and aster- - mined to let them aay what they ehoae, her inno-- I cence or laeir gross charge Demg eataDiianea; eo I ahe made no answer. 1 Thus wore en several days, varied by an oeca-- 1 ional ride and a crowd efbeaux at night, swarm- - ing like fire-fii- around a candle. La Papilon waa an acknowledged belle. Her beauty was the theme of every tongue, and her father's princely ealth enabled her to ehow it off to the beet ad vantage. Then Aspasia a literary propensity cured her a kind of authority among the snail lead and half-wi- ts of the city. Lucy often excused herself from the parlor under various pretexts, sometimes an accommo dating headache, or a letter requiring an immsdi- ate answer, furnished excuses. The ladies re- ceived any apology with readiness, for they began to dread the rivalry of the country girL Some tunes Lucy felt, (on evenings when Do Vere called,) aa if she would give worlds to have gone to the parlor, but she adhered to her first resolu tion, and politely declined. Vet, when passing through the hall, ahe would pa use near the door, to listen to those tones that spoke to her heart with a living music ! How she tried, with woman's feeble power, to prees back and crush this growing eoneciousneee ! Then, again, with I all a woman's fondness, she would elasp to her soul this d secret, and gloat over it un told wealth I CHARTS The first SundVy L.y a arrival In the Aty A. over t ne eartn wita its golden affluence, yet breathing a soft calm. What a delightful resting place for the weary way-far- is this Sabbath- day ! What a soft suspension from tke trouble and travail of business life ! Wh at a relief te the spirit, a freedom from the harsh activities of eekly routine ! An isthmus ef peaceful rest. between the closing and opening week! Tis one of the wisest economies as well as the most beautiful practices of the christian theory, this consecration of tbe first day of the week to the worship of God and the performance of religious duty ! What a grateful sight, on a summer Sun day morning, to watch ths various devotees wend ing their wsy to the temple of God, each actua ted by the same motive, worshiping the same Great Being, though at different shrines and ten der different forms. Yet He who reads the heart will net care how, or in what manner, or at what altar the grateful tribute is made. Tis the soul which sanctifies the deed. Then, too, the deep and solemn bell, with its awful clangor, sum moning eacn 'and every one to the remembrance of his duty, baa, on this day, a peculiar sound Go to the woods, Nature's great cathedral, and listen to the anthems of praise wh:eh ascend from the little gleeful birds. Look at the leaves, how they tremble, as though bidden souls animated them to devotion. Look at the lofty trees, staring away at the far heavens, written all over, as they are, like the leaves of Dodonaa groves, with their mystie rites; then say, is there not a religion in nature, and may not the true soul en ter through this gate to the glories of that upper world! There is a religion which takes no form, and assumes no outward garb; it wells op from ths deep, contemplative soul in praise to its Crea tor, and who shall say, because it unites itself with no warring sect, but prefers the quiet devotion and solemn majesty of nature, and its own deep heart, that it shall be denied the boon of eternal bleesedness t As Lucy sat in her room, poring over the sweet and touching pages of St. John, or soa ring away with the burning fervor of St. Paul, she was interrupted by a quick, low knock at her door. Her 'come in' was answered by the en- trance of Henrietta, who said that ahe eame to ask what church Lucy wished te attend V Is the Unitarian church near!' inquired Lucy. Oh yes, very convenient; but surely yoa will not go there !' Why not!' To that awfully heretical church! why it is not orthodox !' Therefore, not fashionable was the cutting reply- - Certainly not; tis not respectable to go to a hHerodox church.' Persons must not follow tile dictates of their own corucicnee, if respectability directs to ths contrary. They must obey the Bible. But does the Bible specify which church one should attend!' No, I believe not,' was the confused answer. Well, aa I take neither the Bible nor fashion for the sole rule of faith, but rather rely upon the whispers of my own consciousness, I'll go to the Unitarian church But yoa are not a Unitarian! 'No, not as Unitarianism is generally under- - s'oed, but their creed or theory approximates my wn nearer than any other established society; therefore I worship with them. But was not your father suspended from that church for some ef bis religious aberrations !' Lucy reddened deeply. 'I did net know that my lather's biblical deductions were styled aber rations.' Well, why waa he euepended ! 'For thinking bis own thoughts, and boldly acknowledging them before men because he would not vilely succumb to the Powers and Principalities, but acted and lived according to tke dictates of mighty truth 1 The girl's face glowed and blazed with earnest enthusiasm. If there was one good thing which she prized more than another 'twas the memory of her father, at whose simple and unadorned grave she had so often knelt in prayer, begging for grace to walk in the path which his genius and worth had made beautiful ! Aspasia said but little more, but it was plain from her looks that she regarded Lucy as one whom the devil had very readily seduced. With a look of pitiful contempt, she left her. Thank Heaven!' ejaculated Lucy, 'I had strength to vindicate myself and him whose memory is far dearer to me than life itself!' When she had gotten ready for church, and was passing through the hall, ahe met her uncle. whose pale, puritanic face was unusually sad and grave 'Lucy, be said in a sepulchral tone, 'had you not better accompany ua to the Celvinistic caurch!' No, Uncle, I must go to ths Unitarian,' and without waiting for a reply, she passed out through the open doer, aad was soon wending her way to wards the proscribed church. And there, with hsart full ot the uveues. emotions, she worship- - eJ God after the simple but eloquent form of that intellectual but much-abus- sect. She listened wita an attentive ear to tne earnest prayer and able discourse of the young minister, whose anx- - bus, investigating spirit was fast growing out of Unitananism into a wider range of belief and a broader definition ef faith. Unitarianism, in its present limited phase, answers well enough f basis of philosophical inquiry, but the thi. iaTn; sou! soon darts away from it, and bounds a.oft upon its upward search. The atrange but pleae- - in j speculations ef the young divine impressed Lucy deeply, and as she, in a musing state of mind, glided down the church steps, she was sur prised to hear the morning salutation breathed in the tones of a well remembered voice. Looking up, she met the speaking eye and smiling face of Kensington De Vere. Though her heart beat high with exultation, her face gave no indication of the joy that reigned within. She was beginning k learn, like Napoleon, to bind her features in an impenetra- ble mask ef immovability. Kensiagten missod the wild impetuosity and vital warmth which bad so charmed him in their former interview, and his own enthusiasm received a tremendous check f om her coldness. Part of the homeward route they pursued in extreme silence. Now and again she would cast furtive glances toward from which an ambushed Cupid looked out in loving wonderment; but Kenaiag. ton was too deeply wrapt in the trembling doubts of love to perceive thie". V&entlrey rtkeDed tie doer f ClrkUc inaft WEEKLY COURIERA sion, De Vere paused a moment or two upon the massive atone step. Lucy looked very beautiful her nw blua dress, mode cloak and aimplo cottage bonnet. A kind of trepidation stole over her, when aha beheld from the upper window. through the partially-close- d ahutter, the maiig- - nant eyea of Aspasia glaring upon her. Hastily, almost abruptly, aha bade De Vere good morning, at and entered the bouse, fearing the recaireoee tf former disagreeable seenes. She passed the parlor, through the open door which she saw La Papilo standing with a book in her hand, the leave of which she strum med earelassly. Lucy, Lucy, come here quickly, the gay girl cried, and aa Lucy obeyed the summons La Papi- - ion turned tbe key of trie door saying; I m so tired. Lnrr. of this bat.ful.

He drives aa off in the morning to hear an irksome sermon, and all afternoon makes me read this odious 'Life ef Calvin,' and look over thia Confession of Faith. Now I don't care a par- ticular five cents about all this doctrine with which I am gorged every Sabbath. I dread this day; 'tis the cross and vexation of my exis tence.' Lucy smiled as her eye ran over the pages of a d copy of the 'Life ef Calvin.' 'What do you know of this treat reformer!' she asked. Nothing, except that be lived, and died and La Papilon laughed outright Bj you know anything of tho burning of cm Tvtus V 'No, hut I wish Calvin had been burned before hi life was written; then I shomld have boon spared a groat trouble.' When the conversation had reached thia point, Aspasia knocked at the door. She entered with hr an e11 in extension, a dark, cloudy brow and a mock-earne- manner. 'Alverda,' she said in a solemn tone, 'have you the 'Life ef Calvin 1 I wish it for an hour er so.' 'Yes, yes, here it is; I've read my hour,' and eke joyfully surrendered the volume. 'Alverda, I shall tell papa that you have boon talking heterodoxy with Luey Grafton.' 'Indeed, I have not have I Lacy! 'and the wild girl actually trembled with fright; for the aingle werd 'heterodoxy' was a 'raw-hea- d and bloody-bonee- ,' that terrified her more than ths grave itself Lucy exonerated La Papilon from any blame, and Aspasia that their conversation had taken no heretical tone. 'But I heard La Papilon laugh aa I entered the door, and both papa and mama will be indignant at that. Tie a crime te laugh on the holy day. I didn't laugh.' ,Yee you did.' And the tw sisters were soon engaged in a domestic brawl. A ea I commentary was it to Lucy upon their rigid observance ef Sundays. A great harm it waa te laugh or look cheerful, but ne ain to ma lign the doctrines ef others, to bear false witness and quarrel and bicker ! A summons to dinner put an end to this volu ble war. The dinner bad all been prepared the day pre vious, and waa now aerved up sold; for these good people held it a great ein to do even a work of necessity on the Sabbath. In their Uut rev erence they forgot that the faviour healed the sick, cleansed the leprous, and plucked tho ears of corn on the Sabbath day. In their extermi nating spirit they exorcised even good works like these. Mr. Burklie, in a prayer of some fiftoea min utea length, and in a profound, nasal twang, im plored a blessing upon their bount'ful supply of food. Luey new felt that she must watch vigilantly and govern the muscles ef her face An involuntary laugh would have been high trea son. Mr. Burklie eat in solemn state, with a sobor, clerical face; the Madame had hers dyed deep iu the wool. Aspasia looked the very embed ment of Calvinism; even La Papilon was sub dued by the influence of the gloomy faces around her. The dinner waa despatched in solemn si lence. Aspasia intimated that she had a charm to make against La Papilon, for violation of Sun day. Mr. Burklie, with a wave of his hand, ad monished her that on Monday he would hear the complaint and administer punishment. La Papi Ion made a grotesque grimaoe, signifying that ahe would give him a chance. In the afternoon they assembled in the parlor, and Aspasia read aloud frem the 'Life of Calvin.' It waa with difficulty Lucy could prevent her somnolent lids from closing. Mr. and Mrs. Burk lie seemed to swallow down every word with ab sorbing interest. At last this day, like all others, had its close When Luey threw her tired limbs upon the couch, she inwardly thanked Heaven that che had been reared in a faith less austere, and ligion more loving and simple. For this Sunday which at home she was wont to consider so de' lightful, seemed to her now never-endin- g and wearisome. The day which the Christian should surround and consecrate with eheerful influences; to be rendered so and dark, seemed to her a heinous sin. eniPTEa viu Several days after the one recorded ha the above chapter, aa Lucy aat conversing with the family, ahe waa surprised to hearone of the ser vants ask La Papilon to walk out into the ha for a few moments. After a little while the blithe girl returned with a large and rare bouquet in her hand. There was a strange expression upon her countenance, which puzzled Lucy good deal. 'See, only see what a handsome present Ken sington De Vere has sent me,' and she flourished the bouquet around. Lucy and Alverda admired it a great deal. 'Ah, you little coquet, said tho mother fondly, 'I expect Kensington will renew his addresses. 'Oh, dear, but he gave my hand a very meaning pressure the other evening, and such a look ! just the kind that he used to give me in days lang- - syneand away Ja fapilon went, bumming. 'Tis said that absence conquers love.' In a short time ahe returned, equipped for a walk, with her blue hat and elegant embroidered mantle; her checks beautifully rouged, her curls oiled and floating about her checks in the most artistic grace. How well you look, darling, eaid the proud mother, as she gazed ipon her child. 'But stay, is not that coloring a little toe deep upon your cheeks. It is rather suspicious, besides, a deli cate hue is the mo it becoming.' So saying, she passed an unsoued handkerchief ever each cheek decreasing the bloom considerably. Oh, mama, you have left mo not a particle of color; I am very pa'e now,' and forthwith La Pa- pilon ordered Hatty to bring her the rouge sau- cer, and her cheeks. Thus bedoekod, she started out for a saunter down the principal streets, assuming her prettiest expression, in order to catch the beaux. 'There goes a girl,' said Mrs. Burklie, who was formed by nature for a belle. 'Tis astonishing what an impression she makes in every circle. She enchains whole drawing-room- s; the most intellectual men seem fascinated by her; yet she calls herself a mere butterfly; I suppose 'tis her amiable caprice of nature that eo attracts I them. I The bhe seemed to resent tke idea of La I Papilon's possessing power over intellectual I men. 'I am sure, mama, ahe never held any power over Mr. Doole. Her frivolity disgusted rather than pleased him.' 'Oh, but be is a poet, and not to be judged by the common rules. There is no raises able way I to aeeoont for his idiosyncracies.' A gentle ring of the bell broke the conversa- tion, and the servant announced, with much cere- mony, Mr. Doole himself. Aspasia began smiling :n tke most bewitching manner, whilst the Madame bestowed upon him her profouadeet bow ef we'.eora. Lucy spoke with a degree of courteous diet a ace. The poet was sooa happily domicilia'.ed, made quite at home in a comfortable, cushioned chair, and quoting poetry ly tks reai. Again the bell sounded furious'y. A sort of quick, hasty ring, indicating no eeremonious visitor. Soon after, the servant entered, bearing on a silver salver a neat little enveloped note, addressed to Miss Graften. Lusy looked sur- prised at it, but upon breaking the seal, she discovered it was Miss Farmington's bill, by which she learned that she was indebted to her twenty dollars. She excused herself from the parlor. After having paid out tke sum, she dis- covered that the had only two dollars in her fvne. A &d feeling was this to be aloe far CHEAP PAPER FOR Til Ml OFlIllSS, from heme, in a groat sity amid strangers, and without money! She clutched with avidity the two remaining dollars, and secured them in her purse. Oh, how she longed for tho rest snd quiet of her home! Her experienco of city life waa brief but bitter. She shed a few girlish tears, and walking to the window, she looked out the gay passers-by- . Suddenly La Papilon came tripping up, leaning on the arm of Kensing- ton De Vere; her face was radiant with smiles. He seemed rather sad; a kind of pensive playful- ness characterized hismarmcr. Was it jealousy! as it envy ! or was it a pang of injured love that darkened Lucy's face! Certain it ia, no very pleasant thoughts were stirring her bosom. Long she mused alone; in fancy she went over the scenes ef her earliest childhood; every spot that adorned the waste places of memory, she visited again. How natural it is tW ir great sorrow in after life sends the heart back to childhood's holy recollections! It seems that there existed an intimate connection between our greatest sorrows and our earliest joys. The wild laughter and buoyant tones of La Pa piloa fell drearily on Lucy's ear; she strove to catch the notes of Kensington's voice, but r.ot one could she hear. The shades of evening were etealinr slowly and slantingly over earth. Tho lamps, one by ne, were beginning to flicker like fire-fli- in the gathering darkness, when she saw hirn leave the house. She watched his form until the last echo of his retreating footstep had died upon the pavement. Then came that dreariness of ssul that only a disappointed woman can understand; soon she heard La Tapilen's light step upon tho stair, and her merry voice humming a lightsome ditty. The spoiled beauty felt that she had aohiev-e- d a great triumph. She had won the attentions of De Vere. That evening, when tho family had assembled socially in the library, sho entertained them with an account of the fine things that had been whis pered into her ear. Lucy listened with an appa rently careless munner, but every word sank deep ly in her heart. to bb coxtixced. Miscellaneous items.

I say immense, becanse I firmly believe that not less than uny tnou and voters of this State are now nnrny nnited to promote the grand canse of prohibiten, inis party has been formed slowly and flrmly upon a solid busis, and nothing but success will satisfy them. While I believe, with the American party, that Americans ought to rule our country and fill every omceoi power, prolit or trust in the whole land, still I can hnt believe that a thousand fold more evil is done by the liquor sold to eur people by foreigners man tuey couia possibly effect as olhcer or to General or State Governments. I believe, with the American party, that Roman Catholic influence threatens the best interests of oar country.and that li suuicienuy powerful, it would be wit idea to up root and crush our civil and religious liberties, and therefore that it ought to be rut down. But still I think that whisky and its cognates present at this time, a more alarming and dangerous front to the morals and prosperity of our pi op'.e, and threaten with more severity our civil libe tv and political tnan au tae aliens and foreigners put to gether. If, therefore, you put these two partie; together, aud at once establish a true American par ty, worthy of that name, and strike iu earnest at all the evils, foreign and domestic, now mnking inroads upon the peace, hr.ppiness and safety of all we hold dear and sacred, theu, indtcd there would be hope lor our btate aad joy in many a saddened teart Such a party would have the prayers of all Chris tians, and would t hailed with joy and gladness by every irue patriot. Another reason for this union is found in the an swer to the following Question : What is the creat cause of the oncn and avowed Infidelity, even iu uniform,"parading the streets of iiouisvme and other cities? 1 thuik it is easily traceable to the use of ardent spirits. "The fenst of reason and flow e: soul" of those who reject the mole is usually engendered in the poisonous cup, Ail moral restraint and dies in the ex cessi ve ue of liquor.

Maclay not long since state from the pnlpit that h was personally acquainted with Tom Paine, and witnessed his death. That Tame was a bloate blue noed drunkard, and that he died drunk, wal lowing in his own filth and vomit. How suitable for the followers ofsach a man te pledge his memory in the poison that killed hi.n and degrades them. Hw fit a representative of those who scoff at divine things and weuld level society to their own degra ed condition. Is it not time that Americans were looking to the interests of their children, and ban- ishing the groat canse of crime, infidel tv, from their country. Can the old party organisation be relied on to accomplish this great work. These demagogues have too long lived by tha vitality of whiasy and the refreshing snowers of foreign votes. If a man has, as now, to wads through doggeries and pander to visions appetites and foreigu preju dices to secure a civil or political st ttion.he is utterly unfit and disqualified in morals and iioncsty to dis- charge properly the duties of bis office, and if you cut off the influence and take away the support of the foreigners, still h is unfit because his morals and hones y are still goce. But some member of this American party Diay say: If we tike on the Temperance party we shall loosa our whisky mem bers.

How will you purify the ballot-box- How will you elect yonr men to office if the State is still to be flooded with whisky f Long experience nas shown tne absurdity of such position; and unless we are to have an improvement upon the old party organization, I, for one, would say.lcttlcm continue. Nothing would give me more pleasure, Mr. Editor, than to have your views on these subjects, and es pecially to see such a paper as the Courier working still border for all the great retorms we so mnc need.

Matterson, ef Sherburne, .tshecaugo coanty, X. Y, that were esteemed as fine specimens a? ever had been seen by the members of the Gob. They are supposed to be of the sort known as " peach blow," and "old English white." Both are uf the kiud called round potatoes, and are of remarkable specific gravity for their size. Ths weight of theee is 17 and IS ounces each. Mr. Matterson says: I send these samples In pr. of of the accuracy of yeur recent stot ment that po- tatoes have not bten more plentiful or of better qaality for years. A piece of ground from which, last season, I had only about 15 bushels, has this year yielded CO, and wuh no change In the mode of cultivation; besides either of the samples I you is as large as aay four I dug last year. As f..r as I know, the ciop this year is abundant, and the quali- ty excellent, and I see no earthly reason why the citizf ns of Xew York should be compelled to pay such exorbitant prices fsr this important vegetable, except the one you have lately given, vis: "the lutcr-- e its of speculators.' Mr. Robinson remarked that the place where these grew was, perhaps, 1,500 feet above the sea level, aud had not been effected by drouth as much as ether sections. From observations this year, he Is satisfied that dry seasons, with late rains, ia moderate quantities, are the best r potatoes, because the roots that take up ths pabulum lay close to the surface. lie is iu favor of planting larye whole potatoes upon deep- ly plowed land, but near the sniface, and cultivated level. Never hill your poiatois. A 1 the manuring should be by er lichtly incorporating the fertiliser with ti e si:r.i.ce siL The great thing for potctoesis pt and cari-on- It is a good plan to mulch the laud deeply, afier the potatoes are planted, and never do anything rtore them. For seed potatoes add more mulcting, and let them re- main in the bill until spring. Good crops ef pota- toes have been grown under swingietew, upon grass sod. Prof. Ifapes I tried an experiment bv covering the seed with salt marsh hay, cpou mellow soil. I got a good crop, but the hay dried away and be- came toe thin, and all the tnbers that eame to the light were bitter and unflt to eat. When the pota- toes are under the earth, mn ching keeps it moist, and aiTords the right kind of fertilizer as it decays, and is washed down to the roots ky rains. HilUjig potatoes is an stupid folly. Black soils, or those full ef carbonaceous matter, are al- ways bctt for potatoes. They want nitrogen and carbonic acid. The great wei htot these specimens indicates that they are rich in starch, aud that is hat makes heavy potatoes the most valuable. One man upon the Newark nierdows rawes 500 bushels of potatoes per acre, year after year. All su-:- land, when freed of natural aciditv, a the best soil for this valuable crop. Agricultural. Turnips. A Massachusetts farmer who has ex- perienced five years npon the subject, has become ully satisfied that turnips of good quality cannot be perpetuated in this country frem sted grown here. The roots degenerate aud leeome watery, in fact Wing composed of 9'J per cent, water, and the bal- ance principally woody fibre, containing but little nutriment. While in England, the fl st srrown there tre most va.'nabls articles of foci or f d.

It Is proba- bly owin to this ict of degenrracy that turnips have been so little cultivated in this conntrv, while they have the salvation of the Engfbh ten- ants enabling them, more than any other crop, to pay their rents. The jrrctt mutton and wool crop of England is ma le ef these roots, and many a tut builocit would not have got above calfdom but for English turnips. Our correspondent asserts positively that freshly imported seed will produce turnips here as good as in their native soil, and of double qnantitv.ua com- pared with seed of roots grown iu thi country lor fifteen or twenty years. From fivshly imported seed the roots grow firm and ik-1'- , with small leaves. From seed of tarnips long grown in this country, the tops are very rank and larjre, and the bottoms pithy, and often worth-lea- Tbe difference is equally pcrcevtfWe in fbe small roots as In the tvps.

Mr. Brinley state thst be hrst introduced the ffte 1 mould board plow to the fanners ef Kentucky. This may be oorrect, for we 4a not know at what time be made the important discovery that the mould board could be mads of steei instead of iron, neither do we know at what time Mr. Rouner first made one ef steel, but we do know that many years ago , at least ten, he would ask bis cus tomers which they would have, there being a differ ence in the price.

Cxteastva Haal of Ceealerftlt Ktatacky )Ieaey, Saturday afternoon, a very Important arrest waa made by Mayor Adame' police, at a tavern, ailoate eu the bank of tha Alleghany river, in Duqaesne Dorougii. ana Known as tne "Kartmaa a nome." li appears that from information which Mr. Adams bad received, be bad reason to suspect that a young asan named Frank Silabee, a native, we believe, of Al leghany city, was cesimg extensively in counterfeit money, ana wub that promptaeaa af action aa energy which distinguish all hi official acta, he took immediate steps for bis capture. The Mayer mfiwmed the police of birf suspicions, and at 3 o'clock officers bcott, lxiDg, k'yle, Wilis and proceeded to Imquesna borough, and surrounded the u Rtfttran 's Home," whero Silabee was beard-iu- The inmates of the honse, being ignorant of the object which the officers had in view, were astonished at the movement; but before they bad time to expresstlieir alarm, some of the officers pro- ceeded to search tke house, while the others kept guard outside. Bcott and Long, after passing through atveraj rooms, at length reached an apart- ment, where they found the objject of their search and another man named John Taylor. Sisbee, en seeing the officers enter, made aa attempt to ef cape by a window w.iich looked out on the roof of aa ad joining bouse; but Scott pinned him feat, and all hia efbrts te get away proved futile. Ou hia person was found a package consisting ef one thoosand eoauterfeit ene dollar bills on the Northern Bank of Kentucky, together wka fifty dollars in notes, which had been alteredfrom ones to tens. . lie Dad part ef tke money In bis hand when Fcott seised bim, and be made strenuous eQorts to des roy it; the officers, however, watched bim closely, and prevented bim from carrying hi- design into exe- cution. Ua was conveyed to the Mayer's office, and after a short examination, committed for further bearing on Tuesday. Tajlor was admitted to bed to appear when called on. The bills found In 'a possession, are neatly executed, aud well cal- culated to deceive.

hen Lucy joined the family, ahe was sur-

print J and wounded at the cold, scornful and in-

sulting looks with which they greeted her.'And so you have been flirting with Kensington

De Vere; your verdant manner of conductingthe wr, quite put to shame my. generalkhippray, where did you learn Cupid's tactics T' saidLa Papilon. 'I waa ashamed of tbe forwardnesswith which you contrived to monopolize his atten-

tions,' added Aspasia,'Insufferable vulgarity '.' exclaimed the Ma-

dame, 'but thia comes of the introduction ofcountry girls to the city.'

Lucy was overpowered ahe waa like a Iamb,dumb liefore the shearers. They seemed to be

to ahear off every merit or virtue ahe pos-

sessed."I can tell you, interposed the pert La Fapilen,

'that Kensington is desperately in love with JuliaFreelove he proposed to her yesterday, to myrerttun knowledge.

'Both of my girls rejected him before he wentto Europe,' put in the Madame.

Lucy Woked first from one te the other, with aface of anxious, pleading inquiry. She couldnot interpret their strange insinuations, or openaccusations.

'You muftt loam, Mies Graften, that boldneea

and impcrlinance are not countenanced in thecity. If you are in the habit of courting gentle-men, and tusking your attentions very marked tothem, it may possibly do ia the country, but wedo net allow it in the city.' After Mrs. Burkliehad delivered herself of thia speech, ahe lookedto her daughters for approval, and then swej-- t

from the parlor.Lucy was choking with mortification, wounded

pride and even anger, hut hers waa a timid nature, and feared to speak out right. She trembled in the presence of her tormenters, and theirlavish taunts sank pointed and barbed inta hertender heait. Blinding tears gathered to hereyea, and rolled down her cheeks to fall unnoticedin her bosom.

Henrietta and Alverda, having eatisfied theirwrathful envy, left their victim. Lucy, as soonaa ahe realized that ahe waa alone, threw herselfupon a crimson draperied lounge and wept bitterly.

'Why, oh why did I leave home and mother!to court misery! In this splendid spacious mansion, surrounded by the gorgeoua appliancea ofwealth, I am kr more wretched than ever I waain my cottage home, humble, though, it was.

There, all was love and kindness; here, everythingis coldness and aversion. How eaa I bear, withailcnt patience, their scoffing jests and bittertaunts. Vet I must not distress my dear mammaby telling her of these things. She thinks I am

arrr I 112081 - destroy tbe delusion.As she rose from her recumbent sttitude, she

spied, in a large Freach mirror hanging- iu urure vf a man, a "hI mat fig

ure she would have recognized, no matter where she had seen it. Twaa a figure,destined frequently to glide through her dreams

' and brighten, with iu starry radiance, the solitudeof many a coming hour ! Though she had notsen it often, yet waa it set, like a star, forever inher heart. Hoping that she bad not been observed, ahe quietly stole away from the room,never trusting her eyea to follow the figure. Asshe passed through the deor, she encounteredHatty, who was entering, she paused not, butrapidly sped on till ahe reached her own room.and there gave free vent to her grief and alsoto her enthukiaam. For, despite the insultswhich she was forced to bear w ith uncomplainingsorrow, she felt that the mere meeting with

De Vere was ample atonement. She feltthat the cross of suffering waspleVant, when itw as surmounted by suca a crown of blessednessWhat a strange, beautiful mvstery is 'he heart of

woman in love, how it thrills and vibrates, likea harp of many tuneful strings ! What a never-ceasin-g

melody it gives forth! Lucy erniled

through her tears, as the thought of Kensingtonnestled down in her heart, and what wild anddreamful confusion it bred there! The echoesof his manly tones lingered lovingly in the shadowed chambers of her spirit, and sent forthmany a musie note to soothe her anxiousheart!

Aa she brooded over these fancies, she was in'temspted by the entrance of Hatty. Lookingup with a smile, (for her dreamings had dispelled all gloom and resentment,) shewas surprised at the woman's impudent flouncing and murmured criticisms, such as coantryfolk do take on wonderfully when they come totown; but it is easy te tell who is who. Peopleare knewn by their clothes, old silks, faded rags;and then to think of 'em trying to entrap thepick and choose of the gentry, just as if rich menwould look at the like of them. Then to lingein the parlor hav appointments with youngmen that don'i look righ' All this waa delivered in a suppressed tone, jus', loud enough toreach Lucy's ear, and accompanied by numerousinsolent gesticulations. Now surely thia wasmore than she could bear. To receive the insultsof the family waa enough, but to tolerate the impertinence of domestics, required a degree of patience unknown to humanity; yet Lucy, with theendurance of a martyr, submitted even to this audacity.

At tea table, she waa subjected to the defiant

glances of Aspasia, who reigned an OlympianJuno in the Burklie hausehold. Then the tartwords of La Tapilon blent harmoniously withthe invidious allusions of the Madame. To allof this the poor girl returned no re;Iy. Mr

Earklie evidently suspected something, when. hequiet!y,but kindly, asked Lucy if she had pas soda pleasant day. The mother and daughters exchanged significant glances. Of course Lucygave her uncle a satisfactory answer, declaringherself well pleased.

'I should think Miss Grafton was highly de-

lighted he contrived to keep Mr. De Vere byher aide for the best portion ot the day, said LaTapilon, with a toss of her pretty head.

Mr. Burklie made ne answer, for he perceived,from the cloud on his wife's brow that a domesticstorm was rising, and as be wished to escape itsfury, he gulped down his tea and left for hiscounting-roo- His home had for himcharms. His wife had nothing to offer him butcomplaints of her health, which, to every onebut herself, seemed excellent, or abuse of ths wwants. The girls nothing but a fresh "demandfor money; there was always a new bonnet want.e l, ribbon, gloves, dresses, or some gew-ga- thatrequired a, least a twenty-doll- bill, and he darednot refuse, or mamma would be summoned, andin the plenitude of her power, site could draforth the required sum.

After the departure of Mr. Burklie, Lucy Iin

gered a moment at the table, when the Madamespoke up, sayinj:

'Miss Grafton, I was much surprised and offanded to learn that you had a private interview withMr. De Vere after we left the parlor. Now thisdues not look well, and such forwardarss I cannotallow under my roof.'

4I have heard a great deal of the verdaacy ofcountry girls, but I must aay that you are up tothe nicest ruse of a eeartezan, aaid the unblush-ing Aspasia.

bleesedness tAs Lucy sat in her room, poring over the

sweet and touching pages of St. John, or soa ringaway with the burning fervor of St. Paul, shewas interrupted by a quick, low knock at herdoor. Her 'come in' was answered by the en-

trance of Henrietta, who said that ahe eame to

ask what church Lucy wished te attend V

Is the Unitarian church near!' inquired Lucy.Oh yes, very convenient; but surely yoa will

not go there !'Why not!'

To that awfully heretical church! why it is not

orthodox !'Therefore, not fashionable was the cutting

reply- -

Certainly not; tis not respectable to go to a

hHerodox church.'Persons must not follow tile dictates of their

own corucicnee, if respectability directs to thscontrary.

They must obey the Bible.But does the Bible specify which church one

should attend!'No, I believe not,' was the confused answer.Well, aa I take neither the Bible nor fashion

for the sole rule of faith, but rather rely upon thewhispers of my own consciousness, I'll go to theUnitarian church

But yoa are not a Unitarian!'No, not as Unitarianism is generally under- -

s'oed, but their creed or theory approximates mywn nearer than any other established society;

therefore I worship with them.But was not your father suspended from that

church for some ef bis religious aberrations !'Lucy reddened deeply. 'I did net know that

my lather's biblical deductions were styled aber

rations.'Well, why waa he euepended !

'For thinking bis own thoughts, and boldlyacknowledging them before men because hewould not vilely succumb to the Powers andPrincipalities, but acted and lived according totke dictates of mighty truth 1

The girl's face glowed and blazed with earnestenthusiasm. If there was one good thing whichshe prized more than another 'twas the memoryof her father, at whose simple and unadornedgrave she had so often knelt in prayer, beggingfor grace to walk in the path which his geniusand worth had made beautiful !

Aspasia said but little more, but it was plainfrom her looks that she regarded Lucy as onewhom the devil had very readily seduced. Witha look of pitiful contempt, she left her.

Thank Heaven!' ejaculated Lucy, 'I hadstrength to vindicate myself and him whosememory is far dearer to me than life itself!'

When she had gotten ready for church, andwas passing through the hall, ahe met her uncle.whose pale, puritanic face was unusually sad andgrave

'Lucy, be said in a sepulchral tone, 'had younot better accompany ua to the Celvinisticcaurch!'

No, Uncle, I must go to ths Unitarian,' andwithout waiting for a reply, she passed out throughthe open doer, aad was soon wending her way towards the proscribed church. And there, withhsart full ot the uveues. emotions, she worship- -

eJ God after the simple but eloquent form of thatintellectual but much-abus- sect. She listenedwita an attentive ear to tne earnest prayer andable discourse of the young minister, whose anx- -

bus, investigating spirit was fast growing out ofUnitananism into a wider range of belief and abroader definition ef faith. Unitarianism, in itspresent limited phase, answers well enough fbasis of philosophical inquiry, but the thi. iaTn;sou! soon darts away from it, and bounds a.oftupon its upward search. The atrange but pleae--in j speculations ef the young divine impressedLucy deeply, and as she, in a musing state ofmind, glided down the church steps, she was surprised to hear the morning salutation breathedin the tones of a well remembered voice. Lookingup, she met the speaking eye and smiling face ofKensington De Vere.

Though her heart beat high with exultation,her face gave no indication of the joy thatreigned within. She was beginning k learn, likeNapoleon, to bind her features in an impenetra-ble mask ef immovability. Kensiagten missodthe wild impetuosity and vital warmth which badso charmed him in their former interview, andhis own enthusiasm received a tremendous checkf om her coldness. Part of the homeward routethey pursued in extreme silence. Now andagain she would cast furtive glances toward

from which an ambushed Cupidlooked out in loving wonderment; but Kenaiag.ton was too deeply wrapt in the trembling doubtsof love to perceive thie".

WEEKLY COURIERAsion, De Vere paused a moment or two upon themassive atone step. Lucy looked very beautiful

her nw blua dress, mode cloak and aimplocottage bonnet. A kind of trepidation stole overher, when aha beheld from the upper window.through the partially-close- d ahutter, the maiig- -nant eyea of Aspasia glaring upon her. Hastily,almost abruptly, aha bade De Vere good morning, atand entered the bouse, fearing the recaireoee tfformer disagreeable seenes.

She passed the parlor, through the open doorwhich she saw La Papilo standing with a

book in her hand, the leave of which she strummed earelassly.

Lucy, Lucy, come here quickly, the gay girlcried, and aa Lucy obeyed the summons La Papi- -

day; pa will not allow ma to have visitors on thiaday. He drives aa off in the morning to hearan irksome sermon, and all afternoon makes meread this odious 'Life ef Calvin,' and look overthia Confession of Faith. Now I don't care a par-ticular five cents about all this doctrine withwhich I am gorged every Sabbath. I dread thisday; 'tis the cross and vexation of my existence.'

Lucy smiled as her eye ran over the pages of ad copy of the 'Life efCalvin.' 'What

do you know of this treat reformer!' sheasked.

Nothing, except that be lived, and died andLa Papilon laughed outright

Bj you know anything of tho burning ofcm Tvtus V

'No, hut I wish Calvin had been burned beforehi life was written; then I shomld have boon

spared a groat trouble.'When the conversation had reached thia point,

Aspasia knocked at the door. She entered withhr an e11 in extension, a dark, cloudy browand a mock-earne- manner. 'Alverda,' she saidin a solemn tone, 'have you the 'Life ef Calvin 1

I wish it for an hour er so.''Yes, yes, here it is; I've read my hour,' and eke

joyfully surrendered the volume.

'Alverda, I shall tell papa that you have boontalking heterodoxy with Luey Grafton.'

'Indeed, I have not have I Lacy! 'and thewild girl actually trembled with fright; for theaingle werd 'heterodoxy' was a 'raw-hea- d andbloody-bonee- ,' that terrified her more than thsgrave itself

Lucy exonerated La Papilon from any blame,

and Aspasia that their conversation hadtaken no heretical tone.

'But I heard La Papilon laugh aa I entered thedoor, and both papa and mama will be indignantat that. Tie a crime te laugh on the holy day.

I didn't laugh.' ,Yee you did.' And the twsisters were soon engaged in a domestic brawl.A ea I commentary was it to Lucy upon theirrigid observance ef Sundays. A great harm itwaa te laugh or look cheerful, but ne ain to malign the doctrines ef others, to bear false witnessand quarrel and bicker !

A summons to dinner put an end to this voluble war.

The dinner bad all been prepared the day previous, and waa now aerved up sold; for thesegood people held it a great ein to do even a workof necessity on the Sabbath. In their Uut reverence they forgot that the faviour healed thesick, cleansed the leprous, and plucked tho earsof corn on the Sabbath day. In their exterminating spirit they exorcised even good workslike these.

Mr. Burklie, in a prayer of some fiftoea minutea length, and in a profound, nasal twang, im

plored a blessing upon their bount'ful supply offood. Luey new felt that she must watchvigilantly and govern the muscles ef her face

An involuntary laugh would have been high treason.

Mr. Burklie eat in solemn state, with a sobor,

clerical face; the Madame had hers dyed deepiu the wool. Aspasia looked the very embedment of Calvinism; even La Papilon was subdued by the influence of the gloomy faces aroundher. The dinner waa despatched in solemn silence. Aspasia intimated that she had a charm

to make against La Papilon, for violation of Sunday. Mr. Burklie, with a wave of his hand, admonished her that on Monday he would hear thecomplaint and administer punishment. La PapiIon made a grotesque grimaoe, signifying that ahewould give him a chance.

In the afternoon they assembled in the parlor,and Aspasia read aloud frem the 'Life of Calvin.'

It waa with difficulty Lucy could prevent hersomnolent lids from closing. Mr. and Mrs. Burklie seemed to swallow down every word with absorbing interest.

At last this day, like all others, had its closeWhen Luey threw her tired limbs upon thecouch, she inwardly thanked Heaven that chehad been reared in a faith less austere, andligion more loving and simple. For this Sundaywhich at home she was wont to consider so de'

lightful, seemed to her now never-endin- g andwearisome. The day which the Christian shouldsurround and consecrate with eheerful influences;

to be rendered so and dark, seemed toher a heinous sin.

eniPTEa viuSeveral days after the one recorded ha the

above chapter, aa Lucy aat conversing with thefamily, ahe waa surprised to hearone of the servants ask La Papilon to walk out into the hafor a few moments. After a little while theblithe girl returned with a large and rare bouquetin her hand. There was a strange expressionupon her countenance, which puzzled Lucygood deal.

'See, only see what a handsome present Kensington De Vere has sent me,' and she flourishedthe bouquet around.

Lucy and Alverda admired it a great deal.'Ah, you little coquet, said tho mother fondly,

'I expect Kensington will renew his addresses.'Oh, dear, but he gave my hand a very meaning

pressure the other evening, and such a look ! justthe kind that he used to give me in days lang--

syneand away Ja fapilon went, bumming.'Tis said that absence conquers love.' In a shorttime ahe returned, equipped for a walk, with herblue hat and elegant embroidered mantle; herchecks beautifully rouged, her curls oiled andfloating about her checks in the most artisticgrace.

How well you look, darling, eaid the proudmother, as she gazed ipon her child. 'But stay,is not that coloring a little toe deep upon yourcheeks. It is rather suspicious, besides, a delicate hue is the mo it becoming.' So saying, shepassed an unsoued handkerchief ever each cheekdecreasing the bloom considerably.

Oh, mama, you have left mo not a particle ofcolor; I am very pa'e now,' and forthwith La Pa-

pilon ordered Hatty to bring her the rouge sau-

cer, and her cheeks. Thus bedoekod,she started out for a saunter down the principalstreets, assuming her prettiest expression, inorder to catch the beaux.

'There goes a girl,' said Mrs. Burklie, who wasformed by nature for a belle. 'Tis astonishingwhat an impression she makes in every circle.She enchains whole drawing-room- s; the mostintellectual men seem fascinated by her; yet shecalls herself a mere butterfly; I suppose 'tisher amiable caprice of nature that eo attracts

I them.I The bhe seemed to resent tke idea of LaI Papilon's possessing power over intellectualI men.

'I am sure, mama, ahe never held any powerover Mr. Doole. Her frivolity disgusted ratherthan pleased him.'

'Oh, but be is a poet, and not to be judged bythe common rules. There is no raises able way

I to aeeoont for his idiosyncracies.'

A gentle ring of the bell broke the conversa-

tion, and the servant announced, with much cere-

mony, Mr. Doole himself.

Aspasia began smiling :n tke most bewitchingmanner, whilst the Madame bestowed uponhim her profouadeet bow ef we'.eora. Lucyspoke with a degree of courteous diet a ace. Thepoet was sooa happily domicilia'.ed, made quite athome in a comfortable, cushioned chair, andquoting poetry ly tks reai.

Again the bell sounded furious'y. A sort of

quick, hasty ring, indicating no eeremoniousvisitor. Soon after, the servant entered, bearing

on a silver salver a neat little enveloped note,addressed to Miss Graften. Lusy looked sur-

prised at it, but upon breaking the seal, shediscovered it was Miss Farmington's bill, bywhich she learned that she was indebted to hertwenty dollars. She excused herself from the

parlor. After having paid out tke sum, she dis-

covered that the had only two dollars in her

fvne. A &d feeling was this to be aloe far

Oh, how she longed for tho rest sndquiet of her home! Her experienco of city lifewaa brief but bitter. She shed a few girlishtears, and walking to the window, she looked out

the gay passers-by- . Suddenly La Papiloncame tripping up, leaning on the arm of Kensing-ton De Vere; her face was radiant with smiles.He seemed rather sad; a kind of pensive playful-ness characterized hismarmcr. Was it jealousy!

as it envy ! or was it a pang of injured lovethat darkened Lucy's face! Certain it ia, novery pleasant thoughts were stirring her bosom.

Long she mused alone; in fancy she went overthe scenes ef her earliest childhood; every spotthat adorned the waste places of memory, shevisited again. How natural it is tW irgreat sorrow in after life sends the heart back tochildhood's holy recollections! It seems thatthere existed an intimate connection betweenour greatest sorrows and our earliest joys.

The wild laughter and buoyant tones of La Papiloa fell drearily on Lucy's ear; she strove tocatch the notes of Kensington's voice, but r.otone could she hear.

The shades of evening were etealinr slowlyand slantingly over earth. Tho lamps, one by

ne, were beginning to flicker like fire-fli- in thegathering darkness, when she saw hirn leave thehouse. She watched his form until the last echoof his retreating footstep had died upon thepavement. Then came that dreariness of ssulthat only a disappointed woman can understand;soon she heard La Tapilen's light step upon thostair, and her merry voice humming a lightsomeditty. The spoiled beauty felt that she had aohiev-e- d

a great triumph. She had won the attentionsof De Vere.

That evening, when tho family had assembledsocially in the library, sho entertained them withan account of the fine things that had been whispered into her ear. Lucy listened with an apparently careless munner, but every word sank deeply in her heart.

Hardy one a Whig andthe other a Democrat men of hich moral asd political standing, posss in a iu a hich degree bothhonesty and capability not only Americana, butiveaiuc&utns in near; aud soul as a matter oipoucy, also, this would be the btst seleot.on tkeycould niak;-- because the immense accession would begamed to them of the friends of Temperance. I sayimmense, becanse I firmly believe that not less thanuny tnou and voters of this State are now nnrnynnited to promote the grand canse of prohibiten,inis party has been formed slowly and flrmly upona solid busis, and nothing but success will satisfythem.

While I believe, with the American party, thatAmericans ought to rule our country and fill everyomceoi power, prolit or trust in the whole land,still I can hnt believe that a thousand fold more evilis done by the liquor sold to eur people by foreignersman tuey couia possibly effect as olhcer or toGeneral or State Governments. I believe, with theAmerican party, that Roman Catholic influencethreatens the best interests of oar country.and thatli suuicienuy powerful, it would be wit idea to uproot and crush our civil and religious liberties, andtherefore that it ought to be rut down. But still Ithink that whisky and its cognates present at thistime, a more alarming and dangerous front to themorals and prosperity of our pi op'.e, and threatenwith more severity our civil libe tv and political

tnan au tae aliens and foreigners put together. If, therefore, you put these two partie;together, aud at once establish a true American party, worthy of that name, and strike iu earnest at allthe evils, foreign and domestic, now mnking inroadsupon the peace, hr.ppiness and safety of all we holddear and sacred, theu, indtcd there would be hopelor our btate aad joy in many a saddened teartSuch a party would have the prayers of all Christians, and would t hailed with joy and gladness byevery irue patriot.

Another reason for this union is found in the answer to the following Question :

What is the creat cause of the oncn and avowedInfidelity, even iu uniform,"parading the streets ofiiouisvme and other cities? 1 thuik it is easilytraceable to the use of ardent spirits. "The fenst ofreason and flow e: soul" of those who reject themole is usually engendered in the poisonous cup,Ail moral restraint and dies in the excessi ve ue of liquor. Maddened by too frequent po-tiitious, tho passions and vicious propensities gounbridled and seek shelter ia pretended contemptior tne religion of the Bible. I heard the iter. vt.Maclay not long since state from the pnlpit that hwas personally acquainted with Tom Paine, andwitnessed his death. That Tame was a bloateblue noed drunkard, and that he died drunk, wallowing in his own filth and vomit. How suitablefor the followers ofsach a man te pledge his memoryin the poison that killed hi.n and degrades them.Hw fit a representative of those who scoff at divinethings and weuld level society to their own degraed condition. Is it not time that Americans werelooking to the interests of their children, and ban-ishing the groat canse of crime, infidel tv, fromtheir country. Can the old party organisation berelied on to accomplish this great work. Thesedemagogues have too long lived by tha vitality ofwhiasy and the refreshing snowers of foreignvotes.

If a man has, as now, to wads through doggeriesand pander to visions appetites and foreigu prejudices to secure a civil or political st ttion.he is utterlyunfit and disqualified in morals and iioncsty to dis-charge properly the duties of bis office, and if youcut off the influence and take away the support ofthe foreigners, still h is unfit because his moralsand hones y are still goce. But some member ofthis American party Diay say: If we tike on theTemperance party we shall loosa our whisky members. Ana 1 would reply: If yoa shoulder whisky,you deserve to lose every Temperance man in thState and, in addition te this, you would give thelie to all your professions as a party. How will youpurify the ballot-box- How will you elect yonr mento office if the State is still to be flooded with whisky f

Long experience nas shown tne absurdity of suchposition; and unless we are to have an improvementupon the old party organization, I, for one, wouldsay.lcttlcm continue.

Nothing would give me more pleasure, Mr. Editor,than to have your views on these subjects, and especially to see such a paper as the Courier workingstill border for all the great retorms we so mncneed. Yours truly. SPECTATOR.

The ladieswere most of them young, and all of them pretty.ana seemta w enjoy themselves heartily in th'courtroom.

Although the entire work of destruction wasplanned, attempted and consumxatcd by the ladies,their masculine friends merely standing by to feemat it was wen cxecuteu, tne rrosecuiing Attorney, to the surprise of every ue, called upon

Rather Warlike K. Vs. Look Out.In the latest New York Citizen itppears an edito

rial article from the pen of John Mitchell, in whichthe following advice is given the military companies compoaea ei iorcigjiers recently disbandedMassachusetts:

'For every mnsket given to the State armorvlet three be purchased forthwith ; Ifct independentcompanies be formed, thrice as numerous as thedisbanded corps theie are no Arms Acta here yetand let every 'foreigner' be drilled aud trained, andhave his arms always ready. For yoa mey be verysure, (having tome experience iu that matter,) thatthose who btgin by disarming you, mean to do youmwebief.

Be caret ul not to trnckle in the smallest particu-lar to American prejudices. Yield not a single jotof your own; for you have as good a liht to yourprejudices a they. Do not, by any means, sutlerGardner's Bible (the Protestant Bible) to be thrustdown your throats. Do not abandon your pofrt, orrenounce your functions as citizens or es soldiers,but after resort to the hut and highest tribunal oflaw open to you; keep the peace ; attempt no

discourage drunkenness, end standto your arms.

It is hardly to be conceived that the madness offaction and the insolence of race, will proceed tofuc'.i a length as to disarm independent companies,or private men. If they do, then the consiitntionis'titancnd the allegiance yon have cworntothijRepublic is annulled.

Vi'ould to God that thoughtful and just Americanswould bethink themselves iu time. They ae stroDg;they far the foreign born ; they areproud and flushed with national glory and prosperi-ty; doubtle s they can, if they will, do great andgrievous wrong to a race that has never wrongedthem; but seriously, earnestly, we assure them, thennluralited citizvns will not submit. The senseless

must be reconciled; there n:a-- be peace; peace,ev elite a war of extermination. We are here, onAmerican ground, titlier as citizens er as enemies.'

IE PARMER, IB THE FAMILY CIRCLE,

Cutting Peed for Sleek. 'The importance of cutting hay, straw and oats

for stock feed, and mixing it with grain, has at--raeted the attention of intelligent farmers for

some time past.and the consequence is that ,as tsmanifest advantages have become more generally

nown, the demand for has very

largely increased. Messrs. J. TS. Ford & Co., anenterprising firm c four sister city. New Albany,

the minufacture of these ruachinos ly stoam, andwe are told they intend soon to open a a ware-

house in this city for the sale of their s.

The advantagos of feeding cut over uncut hayto horses and cattle are very plainly set firth inthe following article taken from the Wool

U rover." We commend it to the attontion ofour readers:

It u generally admitted to be rood economy tocut hay for cattle, if it is of au inferior quality.much less being wasted by the Biu:al; and it awardsan excellent opportunity of mixing meal or shortswith it. by way ef seasoning, making it more pa

as well as more aatriuous. But many hraterohave their doubts whether it pays te eut good hay,whether much benefit is derived from toe operationIn the way of rendering it more easy of d je-ti-

Ac. W itu a view to settle the question, the Worcester county, Mask&cbutett.s, agricultural societyoScred two premiums of 30 and iiO fer the bestexperiments on the subject, laying down the rulesaccording to which the experiments should be conducted, wi.ich were briefly as follows

ine trial to be made with at least two animals, asnear alike in cenditicn, age, ic. as possible, thetime of trial to last at least eight weeks, divided intopened ot two weeks each, one animal to be fedwith cnt while the other is fed with uncut bay; thefeed of each to be reversed at the expiration ef tweweeks, and so on alternately each two wksduruuthe trial. If any other food except hiy be given.(imcn as roots or meal ) the same quantity to be given to each, that th? in re'atiou to ths cuttingthe hay be not effected by other food. The animalto be kept In the same stable, and at the same tem-perature. Ehch animal te be weighed at tbe com-mencement ef each two weeks, aud at tbe dote ofthe experiment. The same kind of hay (what is mu-all- y

called English hay.) to be used during the wht-l-

time. The time of giving food and drink to be reg-ular, and also of milking. The time of weighing tote in the morning, and before t ie animal has seenallowed to drink.

It is Been that in every one of the experlmenthere is a greater increase of ajimal from the cutthan frem the uncut hay; tbe difference in the quaotity of milk is small, but hi faver of the cut fbed. Itis, iu our opinion, te be regretted that tbe same animal was not kept on the same food during the ws.liicngtn ur no experiment, and aat save ensuredthem every two weeks; for iumich short periatisitis very uoud:iui it me scales will at all indicate correctly the actual gam in fat or flesh of the animallucre is no doubt, however, but what the experiments were conducted with great care aad accuracy.and the results are so uniform as to confirm theopinion cf thoso who think it good economy to cutevm good bay. Mr. Haves makes tbe fallowingremarks iu his statement to the committee:

"A great advantage in ca.ting bay, at least forworking stock, was very obvious during tbe wholeof this experiment; before the ox feeding on uuentnay n a gotten one-ha- tiiroug.i with his allowance,the ox whisu bad cut food bad eaten up what wagiven mm, and was lying down taking bis rest; ar.this at noon, when but little time is allowed for eating and rest, must be an advantage ef ne small importance.

Mr. W. S. Lincoln says:"Sometime before commencing this experiment,

I was feeding my stock on what weald be called peorstock hay, with an allowance ef roots. I com-menced cutting this hay for all my stock, young andoia, (,1b ncaa) cccupymg me about an boar andhalf daily. Almost simultaneous! v with feeduie- - wi1the cut hay, was an increase of milk, very perceptible as it was milked la the pail. From day to daythe milk increased so, f om the stock I have de-

scribed, as to require the substitutisn of six quartfer four quart pans, which had been previously used.I think 1 am within bounds in saying the increasewas over a pint daily, per cow, ecc asiooed, to thebest or my knowledge, solely by the use of cut hay

T. H. Matterson, ef Sherburne, .tshecaugo coanty,X. Y, that were esteemed as fine specimens a? everhad been seen by the members of the Gob. Theyare supposed to be of the sort known as " peachblow," and "old English white." Both are uf thekiud called round potatoes, and are of remarkablespecific gravity for their size. Ths weight of theeeis 17 and IS ounces each.

Mr. Matterson says: I send these samples In pr. ofof the accuracy of yeur recent stot ment that po-tatoes have not bten more plentiful or of betterqaality for years. A piece of ground from which,last season, I had only about 15 bushels, has thisyear yielded CO, and wuh no change In the mode ofcultivation; besides either of the samples I youis as large as aay four I dug last year. As f..r as Iknow, the ciop this year is abundant, and the quali-ty excellent, and I see no earthly reason why thecitizf ns of Xew York should be compelled to paysuch exorbitant prices fsr this important vegetable,except the one you have lately given, vis: "the lutcr-- e

its of speculators.'Mr. Robinson remarked that the place where

these grew was, perhaps, 1,500 feet above the sealevel, aud had not been effected by drouth as muchas ether sections.

From observations this year, he Is satisfied thatdry seasons, with late rains, ia moderate quantities,are the best r potatoes, because the roots thattake up ths pabulum lay close to the surface. lie isiu favor of planting larye whole potatoes upon deep-ly plowed land, but near the sniface, and cultivatedlevel. Never hill your poiatois. A 1 the manuringshould be by er lichtly incorporatingthe fertiliser with ti e si:r.i.ce siL The great thingfor potctoesis pt and cari-on- It is a good planto mulch the laud deeply, afier the potatoes areplanted, and never do anything rtore them. Forseed potatoes add more mulcting, and let them re-main in the bill until spring. Good crops ef pota-toes have been grown under swingietew, upon grasssod.

Prof. Ifapes I tried an experiment bv coveringthe seed with salt marsh hay, cpou mellow soil. Igot a good crop, but the hay dried away and be-came toe thin, and all the tnbers that eame to thelight were bitter and unflt to eat. When the pota-toes are under the earth, mn ching keeps it moist,and aiTords the right kind of fertilizer as it decays,and is washed down to the roots ky rains. HilUjigpotatoes is an stupid folly. Blacksoils, or those full ef carbonaceous matter, are al-ways bctt for potatoes. They want nitrogen andcarbonic acid. The great wei htot these specimensindicates that they are rich in starch, aud that is

hat makes heavy potatoes the most valuable.One man upon the Newark nierdows rawes 500bushels of potatoes per acre, year after year. Allsu-:- land, when freed of natural aciditv, a the bestsoil for this valuable crop.
