His indignation changed to bitter, poigant grief, and he burst into a pas- sionate flood of teers. Now, ae he leant upon the -window- sill, a passenger glanced up, and, Dar- rel stopped aside to hide the grief which he thought disgraced his man- hood. He buried his face in one of the long lace curtains, and as *he stood a strange reflection .eepssed The feee of which he hadeaust caught such a brief glimpse was not effife‘lliar to him. It has happened to all of us to i;Case, in the streetabstractedly a taco or form' that we remember a few minutes after- wards. So it is here. He had scarcely seen the face, his glance had not rested upon it for a sec- ond, and then his view was dimmed by a. scalding mist of tears. Yet that flitting glance produced its effect now. Who could it be? Some one familiar, he thought; but ;rho? His mind was filled with other mat- ters, unhappily, or he might have re- membered. As it was, it simply produced .on hem a vague feeling of uneasiness that he was at loss to account for when he questioned himself.

The listener trembled with passion at this, and she had some difficulty to keep silent. "Don't like it ?" iterated Sam, ap- parently in answer to some speech of his brother's. "Why, what a precious old humbug you are, Jack," "That may be," returned his brother, " but just moderate your boistetousness a little, if It's only to please me. I don't care for your free way of expres• sing yourself about my wife." " Your heiress, you mean." "My wife, Saraa'avlaimed the oth- er, angrily.

"What! with your heir—" "Another word about my wife that is meant offensively, and I shall beg to be alone." said his brother.

It was cousin Ronald's turn to wince this time. He showed he was his, too, by his next speech. "You are right, but indifferent as you appear, you would net like it to be known that your brother.in-law was ar- rested—say for fraud, forgery, burglary or worse." This went home to proud Mrs. Dar - rd's heart, end Cousin Ronald inward- ly chnckled as he saw the effect his words had produced. Fate played into the schemer's hands unluckily for the Darrels, for t that moment a man passed to whom Ronald called his cousin's attention, saying.

Then, just , as the door closed upon him, two men darted past them, evi- dently in pursuit of him, " He went in that house," said ono, as they passed by the cousins, " Confound his luck !" ejaculated the other, "we're done again."

For th • ir it is estimated that the . ...1,310 cows will be em- ployed in making Lineberger cheese in the ()aunty of Greene. A number of factories in the vicinity of Oelakosh. A -Via., are engaged also in the manufac- ture of Limberger and Swess cheese. These varieties of cheese command a. larger price than the ordinary style of American cheese, they being mostly re- tailed at from 23 to 2.5 cents per pound. Where experienced and skilled Ger- man manufacturers are employed to take charge of manufactories, the net returns to dairymen delivering milk at these factories are much better than at the ordinary factories for maling Ameri- can cheese. There are several other European varieties of cheese that could be made in this country with profit, and we hope to see some of our dairy- men engage in the production. There is a demand for Adam cheese in our large cities, especially in New York, and a considerable quantity of this variety, we understan3, is imported from abroad. It would be well if some of our factories should turn their attention to some of the varieties of European cheese for which there is a demand in this country, but whioh hitvo not here- tofore been produced by us: - Potato Bugs. nacre limited mull the Steamboat Uncle Dau'l (colored), aged 40; hi wife, Aunt Jinny,' aged 30; young Miles' Emily Hawkins, young Mars.' Clay, the new member of the family, ranged themselves on a log after sup- per and contemplated the marvellous river, and discussed it. The moon rose anti sailed aloft through a maze of shedded cloud wreaths, the sombre riv- er just perceptibly brightened under the veil of light. A deep silence pervaded the air, and was emphasized at inter- vals rather than betaken, by the hooting of an owl, the buying of a dog, or the muffled crash of a caving bank in the distance. The little company assem- bled. on the log were all ,children (at least in simplicity, and broad in com- pretensive ignorance) and the remarks they made about the Jiver were in keeping with the character; and so awed were they by the grandeur width:. solemnity of the scene before them, and by their belief that the air was filled with invisible spirits, and that tin faint zephyrs were caused by their passing wings, that all their talk to itself a tinge of the supernatural, and the voic- es were subdued to a low and reverent tone.

A. deep coughing sound troubled the stillness away towards a wooded cape that jutted into the stream a mile dis- tant. All in an instant a fierce eye of fire shot out from behind the cape and sent a long brilliant pathway quivering athwart the dusky river. The cough- ing grew louder and louder, the glaring eye grew larger, and still larger, glared wilder and still wilder. A huge shape developed itself out the gloom, and from its duplicate horns dense volumes of smoke, starred and spangled with sparks, poured out and tumbled into the further darkness. Nearer and near- er the thing came, till its long sides be- gan to glow with spots of light which mirrored themselves in the river and attended the monster like a torchlight procession. 'What is it? Oh, what is it, Uncle Dan'l?' With deep solemnity the answer came: It's do Almighty? Gil down on yo' knees l' ; It was not necessary to say it twice. They were all kneeling in a Moment.

Seareo's Tex RECE1PT.—A negro liv- ing in a neighboring county, having been fortunate enough to accumulate consideratble of this world's goods, desired, as all loyal subjects should, to pay tax on the same. It being m new business to him he did not know that there was a isroper officer for receiying the taa, and cenoluded all thee was ese cessary was to find a man with a white Consequently he hailed the first man he met with, 'say, boss, I want to pay my lax; mus' I gib it to you ? ' On being told it would be received by the comprehending white gentleman, the negro gave him $25, and asked if it was enough, suppose it is,' said the white. Again the wits of the white man were at work, and he soon handed the negro a slip of paper with the in- scription : 'As Moses lifted the sere pent out of the wilderness, likewise have I lifted $25 out of this d— ne- gro's pocket. Not long after tine the negro met the tax collector proper. 4 Done paid it, boss, and here's de' ceipta at tize same time handing the paper to the officer. He read; 'As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, likewise have I lifted $25 out of this ne- groas pocket,' 4 Hold on, boss, you road inei wrong,' ejaculated the aston- ished darkey, as he snatched the paper and carried it to another man, who began to road, 'Is Moses lifted—' Here he was interrupted by the negro, who exclaimed: 4Look.o-yor, jest gun me dat paper, I'm gwine to lift dat white man outea his boots, 'fora God I is.' With this he left, and, not having been beard from since, it is supposed he is still looking for the man to whom he paid the tax.
