John jltrriou had been a widower for years, and bis only son was now head groom. Perhaps one of bis children was ill. St John bad heard nothing of it, but he thought h -would ring and isk. At this moment (he door opened a little, and the sound f a man crying wa distinctly heard throni-h it, and then tbe baronet thought be was dreaming, when a child with long, golden hair, with a blue ribbon round her head, came up towards bim, with an air half timid, yet frank and confident, and puttiug . hand iu Li?-, sai.l : "Please, grandpa, my name is Kitty Barton, aud I am come to etay with you and : -v -. n .--, this t papa's likeness and a letter." And she held nut a gold hx ket, und a h lt r directed in tbe well reiueuilensl handwriting of bis dead Jon.

"Don't cry. grandpa; don't cry," ',e sud. presently be-inning to sob h'rself at the sieht ot his emotion. "If grandpn - rrv. Kitty go away again." "no, my child; I am not sorry: I am onlv very thankful you have com'.' Kitty looked up a little doubtfully. "Kitty never crie ; when ahe is glad." she aid; "she cry when she hurt herself."

Yon will look poa her as your future nii -lress, and the hem as cf this place. Mrs Lothridge," - ;d to the boosvkeeper, "will yon see a i .d pnpaiod 1 r hot in the little room next to miue? ' S-veral of the ! 1 r women came loward and kissed Kitty, who was rath r alarmed at ail this; and the housekeeper said, "Will yon come, my sVsai : ?" "No, thank you, ' Kitty answered, taking tiht hold of the baronet's hand; "I wo dd rather stay with graudpa." When they had all left the room, Kitty took h- r seat on a footstool at Sir John Bartou's bet, and looked gravely iho the fire: T"hile the baronet stroked her hair quietly, nn 1 had difficulty in peranading himself it was all true. Presently Kitty spoke. "What a big fire, grandpa! I uever stw sub a big flre, and it Ii h vr lly col 3 at nil. What a lot of money it must cost! "It is a large r-oin, Kitty, and yon see 1 wa-: all alone; so I had fire lor company." Kitty opened her eyes a little wider even than nnaU and remained some time in thought. The result ot her reflection showed itself in her next speech. ' P!e ve. grandpa. Kitty is hungry ; she would like some supper." . The baronet hastily rang the bell. The bntler appeared, "T hu. bring n trav with some tea and odd chicken." "Aud potatoes," said Kitty. "And potatoes," added the baronet, "it you have any ready " "Yes. Sir John Barton, there re sure to be some ready for the supper down 6taus. "With their kins on," Kitty taid again. With thr ir skins on, of course," the !

"Kittv drsrVt kn-.w," she said, rather donl.tltillv. "Kitty never tasted chicken Will it have its feathers on'r" "ro, Kitty, the feathers are all taken off."

Kitty s eyes opened wide in astonishment a' all this wealth of things which was to pour in upon her. Bnt farther conversation was stopped by the entry of the bntler with the tray. John Merrion put the thinrtson the table; and ihew m some perpl xity. placed a Chair, And put a cushion rtpon it to raise the seat ' No, no," Kitty said, "me sit ou grandpi Knee, u rand pa, move chair tolabl".

FA K.M. (URDLN 'ASH BOCHOLD rnte Pruning. From Moore'k Rural New. yrkr. 3. Buk writts. pit stioninfr "when and how to trim grape vines, and how to take -hps from old vines to make new ones?" Mil information on this subject, we published aud illustrated with figures, in April and May, 1869; but supposing G. Lank and many others row, bnt not then, onr waders, wo will try to give answer in a condensed form, to me t his and others' wants Whm io Tri,;. -The best time is just at the fall of the vine leaf in October. Let tbe main pruning be made at that time, if it bo possible to rommand the time; bnt if the work cannot then be done, do it if you can, beforti sevre freezing weather; if not then done, postpore it uniil flere comes a regulat thaw in wirder-say a week or ten days of sott, moist weather, when the frost is nearly or qnite out of the gronnd and then don't neclect your duty any longer. 7tr to Prune. This b the second question, and one that is answered so variously by writers on grape growing, and is talked of so oppositely by vigneromt that an answer in any way will be said by some to be iissumint: but having studied tbe grape pretfy thoroughly, and haviug read every treatise of which we have ever heard, and practiced, or observed theprnetice, of each writer, we feel that what of "How to Pruno," if practiced, will result in suc

cess to tho proprietor of the vine on which it is performed. Each variety almost, will, after the first t wo yep.rs, require a distinct sytderc so that any general ni'e for ".ripe pruning of our vines would fall to the ground if att mpb d to be practiced. The grape growr must hrst learn the. habit avl character of his vari ty, and then he can adapt Jts pruning and training to a n? de or system consonant with its class. But, of "How to Prune," let sav, first. that summer nrnning that is. cutting uwny of foliage Rfter the1 blossom has opened is now counted, by tho majority of igitrrtnts. as an error: and the reason for the error is. that each leaf and end of a shoot his a corr-spondingconncet jnn with the spongioios .r fo.dirv;endsof tbe roots. and once the leaf or shoot connecting therewith is broken, the si ongiole rootlet OT feeding month, is afi'.-c'.e I is closed from its natural action, an 1, as a oonsequence, rot and tb'cay eustp creating at the root of the vino, a f.mcoid disease hieb, if the same system of Hummtr trimming wire persisted in. would, in a few - i alt to apparent outward diseaso .f the vine, aud in rot aud mildew of the froi. Hivinp said this much of snmmcr pairing, let us now sapix.-o you have a vine plaul 1 this past spring, und you nave permitted it. as yen should, to "row just as ii any or ju-it as le sho u or vims as it ph ased; but now you want to put it into shate. so th d OCtl yer it will increase in strength of root und prepare itself to give you fruit the year following.

Then we h-ivn only t. say to hint, that any well nV , i: d ro d cut Tph tvo eyes on it is all that is requisite; and yet we confess a penchant for the old style of mallet cutting. It differs from the former ouly in the fact thai it is made with an inch or less of tbe old wood attached to the bie f tbe ci tting, and in that attachment, or base, or crowu, is supposed to bt) stored np p greater amount of vital life-giving power than can be contracted in auy one distinct bnd--that junction or connection betnjj, in fact, filled with bnds, dormant so long as the main bn 1 exists, but ready to do service aa soon as that is destroyed Keeping Giiape-s FnssH. There are several practical rx des: One is to pick the grajHts just bei re dead ripe, while they are perfectly tree from snrta- moisture. and immediately seal with wax the end of the stem, or any place where a grape has been removed. N w plsce in boxes with cotton batting, a layer of fruit between layers of batting, so that one c'.nter shall not touch another; cover closely and keep in a coed dry pl;co. Those who hve pat down truit ic this way say that they camo out fresh in the spring. It m ist be retieml .-red not to let th- fruit come iu contact with the wood of the box. Another moth d, and one which is very effectual in keeping grapes ftesh dnriug wmter is, to pick as before directed, keep them in a cool, dry place three or four davs. then pack m paper i.oxes wh.ch will hold ten or tw Ivo pounds each, placing a slice oi paper wiwwii c-u rycoof dry room not in a cellar.
