MISCELLANY.

FANAY Wl 1.1,1 A31S. ANOTHER SKCKET WORTH KOVFIMG. The reader cannot hive forgotten (he brief sketch which vc g a e a month fince cf Lucky Tom, who was alleged by his old cronies to be i i possession of some marvellous secret flu becoming rich. lie was ;i poor mechanic, and in a manner that puzzled his old dramloving associates, brc im; by degrees rich, and one of the ornaments of the village. We have heard many unthinking ones wonder what this golden secret could be. It is honed that others will be more successful. It is a secret far more valuable to it? possessor than the Philosopher's stone, and yet is within the reach of every mechanic in the country. While they are anew, we beg leave to speak of another secret, or chirm, which deserves the. attention of young ladies. Being supposed to possess a much quicker apprehension than the ether sex, they will unquestionably name it at once. There is no occasion, fortunately, for their naming it to their sisters, as it is no uncharitable to presume that, if they discover it, they cannot keep it to themselves. Fanny Williams was the daughter c I a poor hard working mechanic. She was the idol of her fathers heart. Not eminently beautiful, she was what is termed by connoisseurs good looking. It was quite evident, however, lo the good gossips of the villlage, who generally see farther than other people, that Fanny had "a way of gelling up into the world"' quite different from that of their own daughters. 'What can it be!' siid one. Fanny was thought no more than our Nance, when a child; and yet, bless my stars! the is going to many the new parson; who would have thought it ?' 'it is one of the most astonishing things in the world,' said another, 'how this poor girl has got up! Why, shehas no more beautv than Lord? than 1 have !' And then the good women would lift up their hands in amazement and wonder prodigiously. Her former schoolmates were also dumb with astonishment. Who would have thought it! Win Fanny is not ehowy at all! bhi never cares about the latest and hansom ett fashions! She always would wear a plain calico or gingham, which coul.l never strike the tuny of all the beans in Christendom; and vet bless mv stars! oh dear I'm speechless f And then how we used to romp a-1 . , i i ..I .i c ., 1 . bout, laugh with the young fellows, and I . , , J ' v in. up pirtiiM n tin uieiii in HiU itci their notice and steal their hearts and yet Fanny never joined us. She would courtesy and smile, if spoken to, and that is all, and now Ehe is to it is loo, too bad !' 'Ilav'nt we been setting our caps for the p arson making him presents a ml rigging up with all our gaudiest and most peach blossom dresses? And now to slip us nil, and take that plain and modest Fanny? It is too bad she mist have some charm1.' Fanny was never known to run about the streets and tattle, and be familiar y ith the young gentlemen. Instead of attending balls and parties, and dancing night into day, why this mechanic's daughter was found wiih the poor, vaicumg j w e oeusmc i ine tick and dying, ii hat could be more apmst runny Wihiams than t!i:s?-as-ked one of her old companion; I... .1... 11-1. ..

enough book, perhaps, but not exactly the thing for a girl who expects to be married. She would not goto church in silks and satins, and when he got there she would not stare about and see who was who, and what was what like other girls. What had got Fanny along so? They say she is sweet tempered, b'lt that is nothing in a girl we are all sweet tempered. At hom? she

Site is altogether too nv.dest C r: a gil l of eighteen and lias not halt brass enough to say to a man. She has a graceful figure enough, but she never I ices herself or takes pains to set it offin a graceful manner. And yet has Fanny got married t the parson! How marvellous strange said these good souls, who had contrived every possible way to entrap the parson 'Ah! it is quite plain,' they continued, with a knowing toss of the head, that she is in

possession of some marvellous secret that accounts for it all. That a poor mechanic's daughter should succeed of this f isbion, unless she possessed some indescribable charm, is highly ridiculous. And the worst of the matter i that she should have been married without appealing to have once thought of having recourse la those common means of husband catching those litile ailitios, winks, inuendoes, smiles. and all the well directed artillery of the eyes was absolutely astonishing and proof conclu-ive. that she was in possession ci something that other- had not. What a lucky mm old Williams is! And oh, what a lucky girl is Fanny? A pretty wife, truly, such a girl will make for the clergvman? She is in league with some old witch or grandame some fortune teller at the foot cf the. hill, who lias revealed to her the art of making every body love her. It must be so, else why should she be thought of, and we. neglected, who have for ears been masters of all the female accomplishments in which she is so evidently wanting? She ii not like other gils. Thus thought and spoke the old and )oung women concerning Faunv Williams. It was a mystery haw she had gained the affections of every body. She had never put herself forward in ihe h ast, but now she was before them .ill. Foitunate Fannv the daughter of a poor mechanic w ho had thus risen so mysteriously from poverty to competency w hat may tin; set ret bp? She has some charm that wo;ks upan t he beasts cf nil. We must pry into it? Aye pry into it go and ask the sweet girl, and most fortunate will you be in discovering the charm, if you al low it to m ske you as charming as Fanny Williams. Claremont Eagle.

"If vou have any si iff clayey ground that you contemplate putting in corn, oats, or any other crop requiring spring sowing or planting, turn it up deeply, and have the furrow in the rough to receive the fertilizing influence of the winter frosts and snows. By fall plowing, in addition to the meliorating effect upon the land, much lime is gained in the spring, at a period, when if you have not been kind in your treatment to your horses and oxen, they are very

apt to be low in flesh, feeble in strength, and but ill suited to Ine arduous labor of breaking up stiff grounds.' Farmer and Gardacr. A vvoiu) to Farmkrs. It is not per haps generally know n that potato tops, sustain through the winter, a worm very destructive to grain. Mr. Chap man, of Madison, in this county, showed me a few days since a piece of wheat on the ground where potatoes grew last season, on a part of which the tops were collected together and bun;! last fill. Where they were suffered to remain, at least three fourths of the wheat has been destroyed by worms: and what they have not destroyed is small and sickly while the wheat where the tops were removed, shows no mark of their ravages.
