"And I can't got" breathlessly aildoil Louise, who hail just engaged herself to young Air. Leggett, who kept the ta tionery store on the corner, ami was in a fool a paradise of bliss. "Girls, don't talk such nonsense!" suid my mother, briskly, "llere is your Cousin Patsey Pounsett sick out in Wis consin and needing care and companion ship. Home one must hasten there." "Let Flossy go," suggested Oriana. "Yes," chimod in Louise; "why not Flossy?" "But Flossy is such a child," said my mother in a porturbed voice. "And" But hero I dropped tho cat out of my lap and rose, trying to look as till as possible "I am nearly eighteen," said I. "And, oh, mamma, do let me go to poor rich old Cousin Putsey, and perhaps she will mako mo her beiioss." "Dear, dear!" said my niolher; "what can have put such mercenary ideas in my child s head.' "But isn't she very rich?" I questioned. uo is very eccentric, said my mother. "Well, then, of course she is rich,' nodded. "Eccentric old maids always arc And, oh, it would bo such fun, and I should like to see what Wisconsin is like. I suppose they have bears there and eirnffes, und all such wild lieasts." And I ran laughing away after the kitten, which had frisked out among iho daffodil iu tho garden. Not, however, so fur but that I could hear my mother savinsr: "What a child sho is!" And Oriana answering, with a laugh: fanov to her, it might be of her fortune. Who "Oh! let her go! If Consiu Patsey should take a the mukiug knows'i So they bought me a new dress, re trimmed my plush hat with cherry satin ribbon, fin 1 sent mo on to Wisconsin, with Oriana's new traveling bag and mamma's water proof cloak. I had never traveled before by myself, but I quite enjoyed the novelty of tho situation. 1 had my novel to reail, my little basket of fruit and sandwiches to fall buck upon, and all the flitting scenery to study from my car window until getting oft at Jvulsilalo to buy some oranges which had taken my girl ish fancy, I mistook the car, and found myself alone and bewildered, in the midst of strange faces. "My bag!" I cried. "Oh, I loft my bag right here on the seat, and now it is gone. And my check was in it, and my ticket. Oh, dear! oh, dear! what shall I do?" And then a tall, pleasant faced young man canio forward. I had seen him once or twice beforo, passing through the train. "Was it a canvas bag," said he, " with 'O. II.' on it? And was there a book and shawl lying beside it?" And I answered breathlessly : "Yes." "It is in the back car," Raid he. You were sitting there, I think. Allow me to conduct you thither. The train is in motion ami it will be diffioult to pass from one car to another." And thus, to my infinite relief, I found my treasuro undisturbed, and, all for getful of mamma's many cautions, chat ted and laughed with my new acquaint' gnce all the way to Powder City. I confided to him that I was going to a rich cousin, who wonld probably adopt me that I never had been away from home before that my namo was Flora Earper that my cousin was called Pat sey Pounsett that I had twenty dollars in'gold in my pocket-book, and a new, checked silk dress with fourteen little flounces up the front. And not until he bad put me in a cab at the Powder City Station and directed the driver to go to Miss Patsey Pounsett, on the Cedar road, did I realize how foolishly and unnecessarily communica tive I have been. "Oh, dear!" I thought to myself. "I hope he's not a burglar or a house breaker." My Cousin Patsey did not live in a chateau or a picturesque Swiss cottage. It was a tumble down old farm house, with a stagnant pond in front and two dismal weeping willows at the back. She lay very ill in a dirty old parlor, with a fire of damp logs sulking in the fire place, and a general smell of cam phor about the premises. She was an ugly, jellow-faced old woman, ith a hooked nose, and a mous tache on ber wrinkled upper lip. "Oh !" said she. "You are Mary Har per't girl from Down East?" "Yes," said I faintly, M I looked around at the uncarpeted floor and mill dewed walla. "What can I do for yon, Cousin Pat- '"You can take tho bellows and blow up the fire," said the old crone. "And you can make me some oatmeal gruel. And to-morrow yon can go out and sell yarbs for me." "Sell" I hebitated, uncertain whetli er I had heard aright. "larbsl Koreeouea the oiil woman "Yarbs! Don't you hear me? Catnip, and penny-rne, ana tarrugan, and lilo everlustin' and sich the garret's full of era. That a tuo way 1 makes my livm , sollin' yarbs. And I was mortally 'feared I'd lose all my custom with tho pesky rlteunmtiz. But it's all right, now you'vo come. ' So this was my Cousin Patsey! This was the life of rich refinement to which I had fancied myself dedicated. I cried myeelf to sleep that night and dreamed I was a beggar girl plodding from door to door. I was up betimoi in tho morning to 000k Aunt Patsey s breakfast over the kitchen stove I, tho petted darling of the household, who had never been a) lowed at home to know a siugio cure to clean her room and coniu out her tangled white hair. And then, with many reproaches over my slnggihuess and lack of "faculty, 1 wa sent up garret to fill a baskot with tho little bunches of dried herbs w hich were dang ling from hooks in tho beams overhead. "What am I to do with them. Cousin Putney?" said I. feebly. "Take 'em into town,"s.tid Miss Pat sey. "Sell "em." "But whore?" pleaded I, "irom door to door, responded my witch-like cousin. "Go evorywhero. Tell 'em they're Miss Patsey rounsett's yarbs. Everybody knows uie. Fivo cents a bnuch for the small ones, ten for the largest ones. And don't let the grass grow under your feet, for I've got to take my hot drink at ono o'clock, and you must be home to tlx it for me. And this was a fashionable career of which I had dreamed at Powder City Well, what was I to do? I could not go back to the east, for I had not money enough. I couldn't write homo, for the matter of the "yarbs was too pressing to admit, in tlieoyes of Cousin l'atsey, of even a moment's delay. Moreover, thero was tho old creature, sick, alone and in trouble, and I was too loyal to dream of leaving her. So, with out more ado, I took the basket, and sot forth on my weary way, blushing if any shrill-tongued housekeeper derided tho value of my wares. I sold some herbs enough to buy Miss Putsey's medicine, and a little knucklo of veal to boil down into nour ishing soup and canio home, with mila dy boots, weary limbs, and a consider' ably depreciated valuation of myself. Cousin Putney had a great many ques tious to ask, and appeared to think that I might have driven a deal more prout able business if I had chosen. But sho was too feeble and weak, and I pitied her too much to rebel. On the third day I chanced to meet my traveling companion tho tall, dark young man, with tho bright eyes, who had been instrumental in muling my traveliucr-bair on my journey. Ho was iu a Btore where I had meekly proffered my wares, and ho stopped eagerly for ward, with a smile of recognition. "Miss Harper! ' ha exclaimed, offering his hand. "JJo you want any herbs?" said I, with a misohiovous twinklo in my eyes. "Catnip, tarracan, feverfew! Only five a bunch! And quite fresh and genuine.' "I'll buy the whole basket!" said he "No." I said, "that wouldn't bo busi. ness. But if vou choose to se'ect half n dozen assorted bunches" So he bought them with such wonder ing eyes that I felt myself coustraiued to explain. "My Cousin Putaey isn't rich ot all," said I. "she earns her liviug by selling these herbs. And she is ill und unable to sell them herself, I am acting as her proxy," "You are a horoino!" said he, earn estly. "A very ii.yoluntary ono," I answered smhing and smiling, When ho had gone out of the store, I could not holp asking the old woman bo hind the counter who ho was. "It's Mr. Aylmor," sho answered. "He's an artist, miss, as paints pictures. and they do say as how lie gets dreadful bur prices for a bit of canvas as big as yon could cover with a dinner plate." Mr. Aylmer came out to tuo farm house to see me the next Jay. He brought me a Liuucli 01 rhododendrons, anil sat and chatted with Cousin Patsey for a long time. The old crone eyed mo keen ly after ho was gone. "i don t approve oi followers as a gen eral thing," said she, "but I reckon John Aylmer is a good fellow and I sort o' think, Flora, that he likes you." "But, Cousin Patsey, be has only seen me twice before this!" cried I, turning very red. "That makes no difference," said one, sharply. "Love don't go by the multi plication table. I've lived solitary and alone ull my life: but I don't want them as I'm fond of to do the same: It's too dreary a dool too dreary!" I btayed with Cousin ratsey a month, doing all the drudgery of her wretched home, selling herbs lor her, keeping up a cheerful face through it all, and then she died died suddenly and alone, in the dead of night. They buried her, and 1 prepared to return to tho east; not, however, until John Aylmer had made me promiso that if he came for me it autumn, I would be his wife. "We shall be poor. Flossy," be said; "but love is better than gold." I was Bitting m the depot, waiting for the train, with John talking to me, when old Mr. Dodge, the white-wbiskered law yer, made his appearance. "Miss i lossy,' he said, "perhaps you had better not go east just yet. There s a will, yon know.and all Miss Pounsett's property is left to yon." "Oh. ves. air. Lfoaze. saia 1 om only a hovel and a swamp, and Milo Mears has offered me three hundred dol lars for it all." Yes." said the lawyer, "but the old chimney blew down this morning, and . . 1 . it .

This month is the time when tho earlier varieties of potatoes should bo dug. It is a great niiMake to allow tho tubers to remain in tho ground until luto in the fall, as tho generality of farm ers do. Hence they are exposed to rain and are liable to rot. or at least to get so thoroughly impregnated with water that it takes a long time for them to dry aud becouio in a proper condition for wintor storage. Thou the potatoes near the stir laco Doing exposed to the sun and weatu er.turn green and are totally nr. tit for use. 1 hen after being dug they are often care lessly loft in heaps and exposed to the action 01 tho winds and the siiu. It is not generally known that a potato ex posed to a keen wind for a length of tirao without any sun will greatly jujury its eating qualities. To retoin" its proper llavor it should be excluded from tho light as much as pussible. For tho want of proper management in harvesting and storing, a great percentage of the pota toes in tho country aro spoiled every year. luo withering of the slulk tolls that tho tubers are tit for the harvest, aud when tho soil is dry tho potatoos couio Irom the ground clean and bright; if gathered in rainy weather much soil ad heres, which injures both appearance and consequently tho market valuo. Wu have noticed in .London markets that people, especially women, prefer a clean, bright looking potato. In digging lulled potatoes a fork or potato hook is easier and faster than a hoe a fork loosens up tho dirt, yet leaves it bohind when tho potatoes aro drawn out. In drills thero is a uniform depth of planting, and as the potatoes will be found at about the same, a plow or potato digger can be used with advanlago. Plow along each of tho rows to loosen tho dirt, then, with the plow sot a little deeper than tho seed bed, plow over tho rows to throw them to the surface. All in sight can bo picked up, and if any be covered a light harrowing will expose them. They should bo gath ered up and put under shado at once for, as we said beforo, tho light turns the surface green and renders tho potato bit tor and unwholesome. At the same timo they must be spread whero tho air ca.i circulate freely and dry thorn, lest moist 11 ro in the bin should induce rot. A cool shod, a barn floor, or a covering of straw, brush or boards, if tho air has access to them, will any of them utiswer the purpose, but don't let a sharp, frosty wind strike them. It often happens that a farmer carries 111s potatoes directly from tho field to the cellar, and they winter through without harm, yet it is risking somewhat considering their ha bilitv to disease In storing potatoes there is a great loss in shrinkage from evaporation from ten to twenty por cent, from tho timo of storingtill tho following spring, a larger waste thnn from auy other croi, anil hence, taking it all around, farmers will make moro to sell their polutoos in tho fall than to keep them all wtntor. Bo can so less evaporation takes place in pits than in cellars aud bins, many prefer this method. If so. select a dry, sloping place, or ou well-drained land, whero there will bo no dunger of standing water. Dig a shallow trench, six or eight inches deep, four feet wide, and as the quantity to bo protected demands. A furrow each side this trench is on addi tionul safeguard against moisture, liidgo up the potatoes ubout as stoop as tho roof of a house; cover with straw sulllcient to keep tho fino earth from sifting through, and over this throw a thin layer of soil; leavo an opsning at the top every five feet and iu sen a stove pipe, or cover the opening with a slanting board to shed tho rain. This will allow tho heat to pass off rapidly. When frost comes remove the ventilators and fill tho opouincs with a wisp of hay or straw When settled cold weather sets in, cover sullieiently with earth to provont frcez ing. This trench could bo portioned off with layers of straw and eartn so that the potutoes could be opened up in sec tions as wauted without exposing tho whole. If potatoes are intended to be kept in a cellar, it should be dry and free from frost, caable of being made perfectly dark, and of being ventilated quickly and thoroughly. In such a cellar pota toes might lie on the floor in neaps with out injury; but in the majority of cellarg the floor is no place for them, store rather in bins or barrels raised a foot or so from the fiooor. In bins board parti tions may separato varieties, and there may be three or four rows of bins one above another. There is much less danger of rot in this arragement, and a greater opportunity is givon to pick them over in case of disease. However, temperature is one of tho factors in keeping a potato. The germinating power of a potato is injured, if not de stroyed, when exposed to a temperature below thirty degrees, and it commences to grow to a temperature above fifty de grees. Then a cellar thut could be kept within this range, or better still, from thirty-two to forty-five degrees, ought to furnish sonnd potatoes until spring, and that would sprout freely. A light sprink ling of lime upon potatoes when stored is a preventive against rot. Potato rot is parasitic fungus, and the lime destroys the germ.

Just theil a chango in tho wind brought tho stoues thrown by Vesuvius into rather too close proximity, and tho order to re turn was given.

Friday, the 22d ult. was a gala day on the Yesuvian iumcnlar railway. The flags of Italy and Portugal were to be seen all along the line. Ihe national hymns of both nations were being played by two royal big bands, while night was tnrned into day by aid of the electrio lamps; and around the station a fragrant flower garden bad been improvised amiu the rugged masses of lava. At 8 o'clock in the evening twelve royal carriages brought the queens of Italy and Portugal and the royal premier, attended by a numerous suite, to the station of the Funicular railway.

At tho timo of her death Mrs. Alli son was thirty two years of age. She was the daughter of George Neally, a wealthy farmer. Mrs. Allisou's mother dying when sho was quite young, she was adopted by her aunt, Airs, jscnator K. W. Grimes, with whom she remained up to the time of her murriugn. Her father died two years ago. Sho was pri vately married to Senator W. B. Allison in Burlington June 5, 1873, a short time after tho death Senator Grimes, who be queathed to her 8"0,000. Following un European tour of four months duration, Mr. and Mrs. Allison had made Dubuque their place of residence Mrs. Allison was a highly educated lady, boun tiful and accomplished, and before her marriage was rcgardod the reigning so ciety belle in Burlington. Shortly bo fore her death the hud planned an ex tended visit to Mrs. Senator Grimes. Mental ailment manifested itself within the past ton r year. In her eaily years the was not inclined to melancholy, but was unusually bright and cheerful. Within the past few years she became impressed with the idea that she was a burden on her husband, and, it is said, regretted never having borne any children. France is the paradise of Jawy rt.
