Thrrogh the weather waa bitter eren for the aeaaon, the jonng man had no clothing out n pair of ragged cloth pants, and the remains of a flannel shirt, which "exposed his tnus'ular chest in man? large rents. But in spite of his tattered apparel and evident fatigue, as he leaned heavily upon the railing of the basement stairs, a critical observer could not fail to notio! a conscious air of dignity, and the marked traces of cultivation and refinement in his pale, haggard countenance. " ' The door was speedily opened, and disclosed a , large comfortably furnished room, with its glowing grate of anthracite, before which was placed a luxurioaslj furnished breakfast table. A fash-ionablj attired voung man, in a brocade dressing gown and velvet slippers, was reclining in a soft Jauteuitf busilr reading ; the morning papers. The beaallfttl joorg wife had lingered at the.ta ble, giving to the servant in waiting her orders for the household matters of the day, when the timid rap at the door attracted her attention-She commaiidd it to be opened; but the voung master of the mansiooL teplied that it was quite useless being no one but some thievish beggar; bat the door was already opened and the sympathies of Mrs. Ms j wood enlisted at one. . .

The doctor did not refuse this appeal to his pTotessioaa vanity, for he immediately followed his wife's flying footsteps as she descended to the basement. They found the mendicant lyiag pale and unconscious a poo the Carpet where he had slipped in his weakness from the chair where Lira. Haywood had seated him.1 44 He is a handsome fellow," mattered the doc tor as he bent over him to ascertain the state of his poise. ' v ' : ' AnJ well he might say so. The glossy locks of raven hair had fallen away from a broad white forehead; hie closed eyelids were bearded by long raven lashesv which lay like a silken triage opoa his pale bronzed cheeks, while a delicate aquiline nose, and a square massive chin displayed a model of saaaty baaaty.j - "Is he dead?" asked the yoang wife anxiously. Oh, 00! it is only a faiating fit, induced by the sadden change ef temperature, and perhaps the first stage of starvation," replied the doctor sympathizinglv. He had forgotten for the mo meal his cold maxims of prudence, and added, "Be mast be carried to a, room without re, and placed in comfortable bed." The coachman wa called in to ajsmst la UA-ting the atiletie straogar, who was eoon carried to a room ia the chambers, where the doctor ad- sataistered with hie avs hands strong doeee of. port wine - eaagaree. The young man soon be came partly conscious, bat all conversation waa forbade him, aed he sunk quietly to sleep.-"He is doing well; let him rest as long as he can; should he awake ia oar abeeace fire him beef, tea and toast exf libitum" said tha doctor Nroissioaanr as he left the room. : r, -- ' In less thaa an hoar afterwards Dr. May wood and hie lovely wife enteral the gorgeous church of "the Holy Trinity." Amid the hundred 0 fair dames that entered its broad port Jsa cressed with all the taste and magnificence that abundant wealth could procure notoaerlvaledi ia grace and beaaty, the orphan bride of tbe rich physician. Her tall graceful figure was robed. in a violet silk, that only heightened by coutrast her large axure eyes, bright with the lustre of youthful happiness yet. . There was a touch of tender pity-in their drooping lids that won tbe confidence of every beholder. Tbe snow ermine mantilla which protected her from the piercing wind, rivaled, bnt could not surpass the delicate - purity of her complexion. Many admiring eyes followed the faultless figure of Mrs. May wood, as she moved with unconscious grace up the central aisle of the church, but none with more heartfelt devotion than the young, wayward, but generous man who had. recently wed her in spite of her poverty and the sneers of his aristocratic acquaintance. ?k stately organ had peeled its last rich notes, which were still faintly echoing in the distant arches, wbn a straoger of venerable aspect, who bad previously taken par in the services of the altar, arose and a-woruced for his text, the oft-quoted but a"! m applied words of the Apostle, Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angal unawares." Dr. Way wood felt his forehead flush painfully; it appeared to him for the moment that the preacher must hare known of hie want of charity towards strangers, aad wished to give him a public lesson; bet be soon saw from, the tenor of his remarks, that his own guilty conscience had atone made the application in his . particular ease. I have not the space, nor indeed tbe power to give any synopsis of the sermon; but that it, combined with the incident of the morning, effected a happy revolution ta the mind -of at least one of his hearers. So much so, that on the return of Dr. May wood from church, he repaired at once to the room of the mendicant to offer each at tentions as be might stand in need of. But the young man seemed to be much refreshed by teat and nutritions food, aad commenced gratefully thanking his boat tor the kind attentions he had reoaived, which without doabt bad caved hie life. But I will recompense yon well, for, thank Cod, I am not the beggar that I aaem. X was ablp-wceckel on Friday night in the Ocean Wave, oa my return from India.

T TJE7 JEOCHECIE. or I.AT7T0ir SLA.CX- ; - BESSY. Dear Dodorltf furnished yon an article last spring on the above named fruit, giving' an account of its origin, characteristics of the plant and fruit, the' soil to which it is adapted, its seer son of bearing, and Its extraordinary productiveness. The past season has done much to estab Iih the repctatioB of this remarkable fruit. Wherever It has been culti rated, as far as we have heard, it has not only given entire satisfaction, bet exceeded 3 tha has been said ia lu &vor. Many who at Erst looked cn it with distrust, fear tag it was another ITorvnutZiiculia kttmhvf, and would wot touch it, are new conviaced of its great worth, and are going into its cultivation very extensively. It has been satisfactorily tested ; ia this neighborhood, and most triumphantly sus tained its high reputation. A great number of persons visited our grounds last summer daring the fruiting season, among whom were not a few of those who were avowed unbelievers in it, end, withoot a single exception, they were amazed and delighted with the rigor of the plants and the size, productiveness, lueciousoess and beauty of the fruit, and affirmed that, though so much had been said In its praise, the half had not been told. ."' - - - As this fruit is not only very palatable and wholesome being generally regarded as medicinal but can be devoted profitably to so many different purposes, the market will hardly ever be overstocked. - A writer in the New York Tribune says five hundred acres of plants are needed in the immediate neighborhood of that city to supply the daily demand for berries. As it was thought by some that we were extravagant in our praises of this fruit in our last article though we were sustained by such men as Charles Downing; and other eminent Pomoto-gists of the country, we ask the privilegeof giving in thie article the testimony of a few of those who have seen it in fruit during the past season gentlemen who are every way competent to judge of its character, and whose opinions will be received as satisfactory wherever they are known. ' ' ;;. - " - . " William Addison, M. DM one of our best judges of fruits, tb us speaks of it: " "In company with some friends, I visited the arm of Mr. Knox last summer for the purpose of seeing the New Rochelle Blackberry in fruit, about which a great deal had . been said, and a-gainst which I entertained a prejudice. It is but just to eay that this prejudice has been completely removed. To the previoos marvelous teles told in reference to this fruit I had listened .with stolid indifference; To be perfectly frank, X did not believe a word of them. - But, to be equally honest now, that opinion I had formed In ignorance is entirely changed. -1 found oa Mr. Knox's grounds such a display of fruit as I was not prepared for, and bnt express the universal opinion of the company, that to all lovers of fruit this is an immense stride in the way of imnrovamaat. . 44 All who are familiar with the - wonders culti vation will work will not be at .aQ surprised at what may be effected by the intelligent labor of Tears bol here is a fruit that has sndienly at tained an excellence that is truly wonderfuL. ; The New BocheSe Llackberry is not only a most delicious fruif but a prodigious bearer. I cot off a. branch about eighteen inchee long; on which X counted seventy six berries, all perfectly formed, and of ejttjaordloary aire and beauty .."Those who bad tit priviUga of axamlaing this fruit on Mr. Unox's grounds are nnaziimous ia their opinion that it has sot iwa orerprsitsd, and that ia order to be appreciated it must be seen banging on tha planu ia its abandant rich aad beaatiful clusters.": ' -; f - IL W.

Will some of tbe intelligeat correspondents of the Ohio Fanner, who ere interested ia the bee and honey department, inform your readers how a portion of bees can be removed from a too full hive, to one that has a small swarm working nicely. We have some ia this situation and as we profess to be novices in the manage ment of these interesting little creatures, do not know of any better place to get knowledge'' thaa the columns of your interesting and instructive journal. - --r; . j. . . t :..., V v .; ' -;. v: 'A Scascaxsta. : Springdale, ith mXtZZA & P. S. What work devoted to the manage ment of bees is the best for all practical pur- poses? - . Rsauaxs, With every hive that we are ac quainted, with the exception of Laagstroth's the operation mentioned is rather difficult, although it has , occasionally been performed; bat with Laagstroth's it can be easily accomplished ia a few minutes. If the weak swarm is a young one, and ia that case possessed of a small quantity of comb only, and that containing little brood, the best pleo is to take from a strong swarm twonr three frames well filled with good worker-brood removing ail the bees that are clustered 00 this and then placing these frames near the center of the weak hive. In a few days this brood-will be come bees, thereby strengthening the population of the hi ve and increasing the amount of worker- comb without, loss of time or waste of honey. The queen is also enabled to lav a greater number Of eggs, so that the hive will be strong ea- bugh by fall. If there is not honey enough laid np, the same process may be agaia gone throngh, substituting honey comb instead of brood. This is a better plan thaa taking a part of the bees from a. strong swarm and more easily done. After this the strong swarm will need all its own bees to form new comb to 11 the vacancy. - We recently tried aa experiment of this kind ia a hive where there were very tew bees; for a few days scarcely a bee left the hive. AQ were seeded to feed aad nurse the young. ? They were supplied with eaongh hooey and betbraad, and it is now quite populous. -wW . .- :r w . t TThea it appears . seeestary to combine twe weak swarms together a thing we ;wiH never do so long as barley-sugar can be made at six or eight cents a pound, and it is capital for feed fog bees during the winter, aad -unbolted rye- meal eao be need instead of pollen for beebread it is best to remove la the fall : all the comb into one - hive,- 'rejecting cf course the -drone- eotob anless filled with hooey, removing one of the queens, and driving or mixing the bees together; then sprinkling all the bees and combs with sweetened water, in 'which a few drops of essence of peppermint has been put. This is best done with a small watering-pot capable of holding about a pint. Ihe rose being pierced with a number of small boles. This Sprinkling with scented water, vtu produce a' uniform smell or scent throughout tie' whole hive, and the bees wia not make -war -oa each other; a state of things which 'would btherirUe ba. very likely to take place..;;; :,f- i.-i' -r We admit that all these desirable manipula tloDS can be performed with LftcgstrotVs hive only, end with it, becaoso jt contains movable frames to which the, combs ara attached, v TTitb, out these frames, this, hire would, beo better than any other. , - ' . f The best hook a Pees with wllcVa an ac- qutiinted, is Lanstroth's a!ihoo;h ouch vs.!st!a information is contained in several c'Ana. v T7iA tie frsrmer, however, any one can at cnee rnder- - ' .!'': - - -i -: r- IxErrsa: Iwould be; r,'.ai .if yoa -?i!d inform me. of . eoc 9 . r r y ' to le c ? lc : tli Z t- t3 tlj C3 -;a u lL.; 63.- r;::.::.3 ; J..zi' Lira (L. .

What we have" stated In regard to the Langsoth Hive has been entirely based, on oar own personal experience, supported by that of a few gentlemen In this vicinity who have tested the matter thoroughly. T AYe do not claim that tLIsiive prevents swarming, nor consider that a htve that could da so would be a dealdere, tarn.

In order to prevent such injury, after the cellar walls are completed and pointed, yoa mast dig a small trench inside of tbero, about one foot deep Now 11 this trench nearly full of small stones aad water-Sma mortar; then cover the atones and mortar with the earth tekea from the trench. If thus yoa gaard the bottom of your wallsi yoa will find all efforts of rats at undermining to be otter! vain; they will lave to go sneaking out at tha door or hole by which they entered. Some people say the rats from the' outsiae dig down under the wall, and thus enter the cellar; but this is a mistade. The fact is, they enter the cellar by the door or some hole; and then, if this entrance is closed against them, theydig a passage but under the wall. Sack passage they cannot make if the inside trench is described, as they always begin- to dig close to the bottom of the wall; and hence, when they encounter the stone and mortar, they are disheartened, and abandon . the undertaking. v If sv plank close to the wall should lie oa the cellar bottom, they will it be a foot or more from the wall. . If a quantity of potatoes should be piled up ia tbe middle of the cellar, the rats will begin to dig under the pile, or even under the bottom of the chimney, perhaps instinctively expecting , thus' to work their way out. But to guard against their dig ging operations, cover your cellar bottom with a thick coating of water-lime and sand, and the saucy depredators won't trouble yoa any more I2urat American. ' . " . " .
