"You may eall it out of temper or poutâ€" ing, which ever you choose," said she; "but I am annoyed with you, and I don‘t feel at all inclined to laugh. You promisâ€" ed to take me to Morrises‘ ball ; and now, when I have been looking forward to it, and preparing my dress, and promised myâ€" self several dances, you say you cannot go because your father is ill. He is no worse than he has been, and will probably linger on in this state month after month. Do you suppose I am not to go out all through the winter ?" ‘"Agnes, you silly little wife, you are not really out of temper about such a trifle? Look up, and laugh, or I shall think you are pouting in earnest." The young husband of two months standâ€" ing put his hand under his wife‘s chin as he spoke, and strove to raise the protty trce that was hiding its charms under a frown. But Agnes Ray shook off the lov» ing hand, and turned away coldly. "I don‘t know, dear Agnes," replied her husband, gravely. "I hope my father may got better soon, but at present he is in a very procarious state, and I should not with propriety go to this ball, or let you go. But can you not make yourself happy at home with me, so early after marriage, my darling? You used to say you preferâ€" red a quict evening with me to any ball, and you see nothizg of mo all day.

Frighting the lone mariner, in dire alarm. And, Adria, thou raise high thy sorrow‘s wail ;â€" Virgil could not wish thy hard hoart prevail To cease thee from thy quarrels, or beguile Thy restless wave,â€"just passing o‘er awhile.

I wish I hadn‘t married." Edmund Ray‘s pleasant, goodâ€"looking face darkened with pain and annoyance at his wife‘s fretful, angry words, and he struggled to regain his temper before he answered her. Italian Muses, pour the dirge of woe ; And Italy, bend tho in sorrow low: Thy vales rejoice no more ; thy limpid streams Heave many a sigh ; while Luna‘s imellow beams Shod o‘er thy land, at silent, lone midnight, The soulâ€"subduing solace of her light.

I shall come home by the five oclock express, and it you have recovered your temper you can order the horses, and we can go for a ride before dinner. Goodâ€"bye." Leaving the house, for the first time since their marringe, without a parting kiss, Edmund Ray wended his way to the station and was soon being whirled along towards his office in New York ; while Agnes, Struggling hard to re »ress the tears that would force their way to her pretty blue eyes, stocd by the window, listening to the sound of the train dying away in the distance.

POETRY "Be brave, my girl, and make up your mind to bear a little suspense," he said, Inaying his hand quictly on hers. "There has been an accident on the line. The five o‘clock express has gone over an emâ€" bankment, and soveral passengers aro killâ€" ed and wounded. I am going up the line now on an engine they are going to send, and I‘)l bring Edmund back with me, I hopo. Trust in God, my child. He may be all safe and sound. Go home and waii as patiently as you can." Agnes heard him through. Her heart was beating with slow and heavy pulsaâ€" tions, and a numbnoss stole over her whole body.. But she did not ery or faint. One deep heavy breath she drew ; then, in cold, hard tones, she said : "May I not go on the engine with you ?" He dismounted from his horse and enâ€" tered the station, while Agnes sat outside watching the people coming to meet their friends or depart themselves. Mr. Wyâ€" nard stayed several minutes in the station, and when he rejoined her there was a look on his pale face that made his daughter‘s heart give a dull thump at her side, and made her feel sick and faint. "My poor child," said Mr. Wynard, "You must not. Edmund would not wish it. Probably he is staying to help the wounded. Go home, my child ; I must be off. â€" Be brave." She stooped and kissed him quietly and gilently ; and thon with fixed, unseeing eyes, and pale stony face, rode home. Home to an empty house, the loud ticking clock, and the dull gnawing agony of her fearful waiting! Slowly and calmly she passed up the steps, through the hall and into the drawingâ€"room. She took her hat from ber burning head and passed on to the window where she took her stand to watchâ€"for what! Alas ! poor young wife, not for her husband! She felt no doubt about his fate. From the moment that she had heard her father‘s words a deadly certainty that she should see him no more alive took possession of her. They had parted in anger for the first time, and she felt sure that by one of those strange fatalâ€" ities, they would never meet again. "Very well, Bayne. Bring Zuleika near and you can mount Julius, and walk home from the station." The man ebeyed, and they rode gextly to the little country station. As they apâ€" proached it she saw her father (Mr. Wyâ€" nard) who lived a few miles off, riding toâ€" wards it, and turned her horse to moet "Well, Agnes," he exelaimed, smailing, "are you eome to meet your husband, like a dutiful child? I mm expeeting Linton down to spend a few days with me, and am come to look after him. How late the express is ! T‘ll run in and see how soon they expect it." "Beg pardon, ma‘am," replied the man, touching his hat, "but it‘s ten minutes past five; and I didn‘t know whether may be you‘d ride to the station for master. The ‘spress ain‘t in yet." Agnes paused and hesitated. She rather wished to meet her husband quictiy at home, that she might tell him how sorry she was to have behaved ill to him ; but her pretty chestout mare was prancing and curveting, and gathering her skirt around her, she said : Ever and anon she would raise her head to listen for the roar of the approaching train ; but it did not come, and she resumâ€" ed her reading. The tramp of horses feet aroused her, and going to the door she found the groom standing there with the two horses, ready saddled. *«"You are too early, Baynes," she said. "It is not five yet, and your master is not come home." habit, that she might be ready for Edâ€" mund when he came home ; then, ordering the groom to bring the horses round at five o‘clock precisely, took m boek, sat down in her pretty liitle drawingâ€"room, to while away the time till she heard the train approach that was to bring her husâ€" band homeo. She had no fears as to their meeting after their quarrel. She knew well enough that she had only to give a smile to receive one in return from her lovâ€" ing husband, and with a happy light in her eyes she took up her book, and was soon deep in its absorbing pages. The sun shone as brightly as ever, a bird sang gaily on the ncighboring tree, and her kitten was playing happily with a floatâ€" ing feather. But life was over for her. Edmund was dead,â€"those kind, dark eyes closed for everâ€"that loving head cold and still! The elock a wedding present from her fatherâ€"ticked gaily on, and chimed the quarters three times unheeded by her be fore the garden gate creaked, and her faâ€" ther, with slow, reluctant step, prassed: up the gravel path. ‘She stood still, merely turning her pale face and dreamy eyes on him as he entered the room.. The tears stood in his eyes as he put his arm gently around her, and the hand that took he}' eold one trombled violently. ""Agnes, my poor child,". he said, in broken tones, "I can give you no hope. The bodies are not all yet recovered, but he is not among the wounded or safe, and \he was seen to enter the train some minâ€" utes before it started. Heavenâ€"helpâ€"you, my child! It is a fearful, fearfuls hard ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO But few such nights could come to any woman, and, thaink God, in His mercy such agony can last but one night in a lifetime. . The arrow may remain in the wounded hkeart year after year, but the fearful thrill of its entrance can come but once. Agnes threw up the window, that the fresh morning breeze might cool her achâ€" ing, burning brow, and leant out to gaze with heavy, swollen eyes, on the lovely seene before her, though all uncouscious of its loveliness. Her father, worn out with sitting up hour after hour, in vain endeay» ours to soothe her wild agony of grief, lay sleeping heavily on the sofa, his wrinkled face looking more wrinkled, and his gray hair grayer in the clear light of the early morning. The dull gray light broke at last. The rising sun tinged the soft gray clouds with rose and amber ; the little birds twittering gaily and blithely among the dewâ€"spangled trees, and life procecded on in its neeusâ€" tomed way, taking no heed of that weary, widowed young heartâ€"that future robbed of every hope! Oppressed by the dull stupor that folâ€" lows excessive weeping, Agnes stood leanâ€" ing against the window, listening to the whistle of the passing laborer, or the clangâ€" ing of the gardener‘s sharpening seythe, as he mowed the lawn, unconscious. that his master was a mangled corpse, and his misâ€" tress a widow,for he had left his work before the sad report had reached the servants‘ cars. It was long before her father could get her to quit her dreadful post of silent watching, but whon she at length threw herself on the sofa with wild cries of agony it was still more terrible to see that white, despairing face, as she raised it, tearâ€"stainâ€" ed and convulsed, to her father‘s, saying, through the choking sobs : . "Aud we parted in anger !" Oh, careless words, so lightly spoken! what agonizing fruit were they beming now! Poor Agnes! they could notinduce her to go to bed through that long, weary night. "Oh, no, no !" shesobbed. _ "I must stay up tillâ€"oh, Edmund! Edmund !" and the shuddering pause spoke more than any words could speak. The distant roar of an approaching train struch on her cars and Agnes shivered at the teriible sound, and, cowering down on the stone step of the window sill, buried her face in her hand to shut out the sight and sound, and all that reminded her of the terrible grief that had come on her young life. â€" She so far succeeded, that she heard nothing of the approaching step on the gravel, but sat on, buried in her bitter thoughts, till the sound of hor name in a wellâ€"known voice made her spring to her feet with a wild ery, and in nnother moâ€" ment she was in her husband‘s arms. "My own Agnesâ€"my darling! what does this mean ?" he asked, in bewildered surprise, which was certainly not diminâ€" ished by her excited answer : "Oh, Edmund, Edmund!" she cried, "they said you were killed! Edmund, my husband !" "No, Agnes got no note," replied her father ; "and one of the passengers told me he had seen you enter the train some minutes before it started. You were in one of the first carriages, he said, and they were smashed and ucarly all the passenâ€" gers killed.", though the tears fell fast from her father‘s, and she turned her gaze once more on the gate, as if expecting somebody else to come. Alas psor young wife! was she looking for that dreadful procession that was to comeâ€"the shutter, with its ghastly burden, so stiff and still beneath the sheet or.cloak that hid it from the .public gaze? "Who did ?â€"â€"when?" asked the astonâ€" ished young man; but he could gain no answer, till Mr. Wynard, aroused from his sleep by his daughter‘s ery, came forward, and asked how ho had escaped this smash upfof yesterday‘s express. "Because I never was in it," he replied "Did not Agnes get my note ?" "That is quite true," replied Edmaund, with a grave face; ‘"but before the train started I received a telegram saying my father was worse, and begging me to come to him immediately. I wrote a line on the leaf of my pocketâ€"book to tell Agnes what had happened, and gave it to poor Southey, who was sitting by my side, begâ€" ging him to let Agnes have it at once ; but I suppose the poor fellow was killed. I then went to my father, who died at two o‘clock this morning, and as soon as I could get away I came home. Bo my poor little wife has passed a night of widâ€" owhood and misery! Agnes, have you no word for me now I have returned ?" Agnes raised her pale, tearâ€"stained face to his, with a look of tremulous joy, too deep for words, whispering : *"Oh, Edmund! it made it so trebly dreadful to think that we parted in anger 1" Prof. Brown and‘the second year‘s stuâ€" 1 dents at the Agricultural College have given to the South‘ Wellington ~Agricultural Society a gold :medal,â€" to be offered for the best kept farm in the county of Wellington â€"the farm‘to be at least 100 acres ; certain éonditions as to the condition of the land, mode‘of farming, ‘&e.,‘ to be considered.

The shook and wave were experienced along the whole coast from Caliao to Valparaiso. The centre of greatust disturbance was near the southâ€" ern border of Peru, not far from the Guano Islands. At Arica and Iquique the signs of damage done were conspicuous. It is said that the hull of the United States war stenmer Wateree, which was washed inâ€" land nearly a mile at Arica by the great wave of 1868, was reached and flonted a considerable distance further *north and almost to the water‘s edge again by last year‘s wave. At Pabelion de Pica, near the guano beds, the shock was terrible. The lamps were overturned, the town set on fire, and a few moments later it was swept entirely into the sea by the tidal wave. Two hundred persons perished there. The wave cbbed and flowed five times during the night, and all the shipping in the harâ€" bor was destroyed. Beyond this point southward the shock decreased greatly in intensity, and at Valparaiso was searcely felt. Mr. William Cullen Bryant was a reâ€" markable example of activity in old age. Says Mr. William Blaikie, in an article in Harper‘s Magazine for May, on muscular developement: "At eighty, a gentleman in New York City commenced trying to walk up the stairs of the Evewing Post building, and there are eleven flights of them, of which there are nine from the street to his office. Any of the elevator men will tell you that, when the elevator is at all full, off he will go cheerily up all the nine flights seemingly none the worse for it. Within a year he also told the writer that he still sontinued dumb bell and elub work before breakfast daily, and simpâ€" ly because it pays ; and he is certainly still a wiry, active man, even though it is sixtyâ€" two years since he wrote *Timnatopsis.‘" Mr. Bryant never drinks liqnor, and «elâ€" dom tea or coffee. Chocolate is a favorite beverage of his. Other examples of activity in old age are thus mentioned in Mr. Blaikie‘s article. "Palmerston, forâ€"bantâ€" ing when past eighty ; Gladstone, at sixtyâ€" eight, felling Hawarden trees by the hour, and for the benetit the exercise brings, are but twe instances of what old men can do when they try. None of these nre :more surâ€" prising than, in an intellectual field, the learning of German by Caleb Cushing after he had paesed seventy, or Thier‘s activity at nearly eighty, or, in all ways, than passed eighty, and yet with eye not dim nor natural force absted. ‘If some men, by oiling their joints dailyâ€"for, as Madlaren says, *they are oiled every time "they mre put in motion only‘â€"can keep those jointa from grating and creaking and moving stifâ€" fy, even into a ripe old age, why may not others as well?> Aud which of these things work â€"â€" in ~nis readily, cannot woman do as well?"=@. 8, Times. * Â¥orm good cement for seams in roofs tuke equal quantities of whiteload and white sand, with as much wil.as will make it blg the consistence of putty.
