Well, says Sam, you‘vv got to go a journey and so have I, for l'm go- ing to New York on business â€"- And you can go along \vilh me, and see Fred and tell him you’ll lake a part ol'his debt in hoard. That will relieve his mind and his wife’s mind, and be as chrisiian an act as need be. And (hen, if after lrying ’em you don‘t like their ways, and don‘t feel to home, you come right back here, and me and my wile will make things agreeable for you.

So the next week we set off, Sam and I, and all the way I kept taking back Ihe thougle I'd had about him, for it was plain now he had Fred’s goud at heart ; and all along i had fancied there wasn’t much love lost between ’em.

I hadn‘t felt so happy since lhe day i set in the gallery, but just then we drove up lo a very high brown house, and Sam cried out ': Don I talk so Sam.

I am so bewildered hearing him talk, and I didn't knowvwhat i was about, and 1' began to think there? two ways in looking at things, and maybe I hadn’t reflected whether or not my father would havn liked what I had done.

But after a minute Fred turned round shook hands, with me and says, This is my Aunt Avery, Maria, and the lady that had been a standing there all lhis lime, she SEared harder than ever, and says she, indeed?

Tm; TURXIP FLY.â€"~A method of prevent- ingr the ravages of the turnip tly has been adepted with moves“; in England. The practice is founded upon the fact that the fly emits its eggs in the autumn, and that. they are never hatched till the next spring, when the warmth and the fruitful state of the soil, by repeated ploughings and barrow ing. admit of the generating elTectH of the sun’s rays. It is at this periml the turnip is generally sown; the plant, therefore springs up about the time the fly is hatched, and a supply of food being thereby afforded, it is not surprising that the fly should multiply and thrive. Il‘, instead of sewing immedi- ately, the soil is brought into as fine a. state as possible and e sewing delayed fer ten days, although tly would be hatched, 'it would die for want 01' its natural food. The existence of the fly in a field may be ascer- tained by plucng cabbage leaves at night, and examining them in the n’terning.

At this critical moment, on turning his head, he discovered his little boy phiyiuq 0n the track of the advancing engine. He might spring to his rescue and remove him safely, and hundreds of lives might he lost by his neglect. In an instant; his resolution was taken. “Lie down!” he shouted to his boy, and the child, happily accustomed to obedience promptly threw himself on the ground, and the whole train thundered Over him, the passengers little dreaming how much their safety had cost thth titther.
