The afternoon had waned; and, as he neared his quarters, a charm- ing twilight landscape attracted his attention. The broad moon of harvest-time was just rising, and its yellow disc shone bright behind the black tree- trunks on the othcrsidc of the l'lVCt‘. The reflections of the trees, the moon. and of many slir’n-mastcd ves- sels, lay calmly upom the surface of the water.

A year passed away, when one day the Count, upon his return to France, accompanied bv his valet, presented himself at the residence of his ,bctrothcd and so- lrcitcd an interview. This was refused.

The ad- vantage ofaiiy one fund is measurw ably lost by making it the sole of food, while the highest advantage results fromjudicious admixture. If. as Mcchi aflirms, the turnip is 90 per cent water, the mangoid 88 per cent., and grass 75 per cent., it‘ would seem most too bad, if not po- sitively ruinous, to scour the stem- ach and systems of an animal with undue quantities of water. when nature teaches that the proportion ofdry food should be not less than oneâ€"lourtli in mild Weather, and one-half in cold. A bullock, consuming 150 lbs of turnips daily, takes into his stomach thirteen and a half gallons of water with fifteen pounds of dry food, while experience proves that four gallons of water daily is a full al- lowance for such an animal. The proportion of water to dry food to keep a horse in good condition is about one-half, but a larger propor- tion of water might endanger the health, as it certainly would the fat and mtiSclc of the animal. The fullest nutrition of food can never be safely tcstcd separately or with luniform resultsâ€"JV. Y. W'orld. A FIRST-RATE TEMPERANCE TALK ;â€"/\ captain of a packet vessel sail- ing from New York to Liverpool, says he never heard bur one tempe- rance talk that was worth anything. but that was ‘ first rate.’ He once wont to a temperance meeting at Liverpool, to oblige a friend, and a good-looking, well-dressed man was called upon to address the meeting. He now stood up before the meeting. and he said he never had made a speech in his life. and did not beâ€" lieve he ever should, for it was not in him. However, he would tell what temperance had done for him. When he used to drink, somehow, he never was well ; could never pay his quarter’s rcnt,nor his Weekly bills, nor clothe himself nor his ft- mily decently ; but now that he had left of‘I'drinking, his rent was punc- tually paid to the day, he had no weekly accountsâ€"for he had ready money. They all saw how be ap- peared and was dressed. And. tak- ing a nice looking woman by the arm, and four children by the hand. he said, ‘ You see how my wife and children look in health and appear- ance. W'ell, their food and dress is all paid for ; and if you want to see how my house is furnished, come and see me at home any evening except church niglrt,wbicli is Tues- day, and this meeting. which is Thursday, and you will find me in as well furnished a room as any one needs. Besides this, I have a bun- dred pounds in the savings’ bank.â€" This is all I can sav to-night.’ And charm altogether when unscoftffied. The speaker certainly seems to take a strength and character from his words. We must now look for specimens of this racy and expres- stve tongue in the more retired parts of the country.

The garden wall of his villa adjoincd the great high road leading from one oft the capitals of Northern Italy. from which it was distant but a few miles. Possessing within his garden a fine spring of water, be erected on the outside of the wall a pump for pub- lic use; and chaining to it a small iron ladle, he placed near it some rude seats for the weary traveller, and by a slight roofofciin’ibing plants protected the whole from the mid- day sun. * iii this delightful shade the tired and thirsty travelch on that well-beaten road ever and anon rcposed and refreshed themselves, and did not fail to put in requisition double veil.

From morning till night, many a dusty and wayaWOrn pilgrim plied his handle, and went on his way, blessing the liberal proprietor for his kind consi- deration of the passing stranger. But the owner of the villa was deep- ly acquainted with human ratnrc. He knew that in that sultry climate the liquid would be more valued from its sca city, and from the diffi- culty of acquiring it. He, therefore in order to enchancc the value of the gift, wiser arranged the pump, so that its spout tvas of rather con- tracted dimensions, and the handle required a moderate application of force to work it. Under these Cir- cumstanccs, the pump raised for more water than could pass through its spout ; and, to prevent its being wasted, the surplus was conveyed by an invisible ,channel to a large reservoir judiciously placed for watering the proprietor’s own house stables, and garden, into which about five pints were poured for every ' spoonful passing out of the spent for the benefit of the Weary traveler. Even this latter portion was not cn~ tircly neglected, for the Waste pipe conveyed the part which ran over from the ladle to some delicious ! strawberry beds at a lower level. Perhaps, by a small addition to this benevolent arrangement, some kind- hearlc‘d travelers might be induced to indulge their mulcs and asses with a taste of the some cool and refresh- ing fluid, thus paying an additional tribute to the skill and sagacilv of the benevolent proprietor.
