A Drive and What Came of It. \When two women will, thoy will, you may depend on't; And when ftaoy won't, they won't, and that's ' an end on't. t Adele and Ibegan our offenses by sep- arating from our respective famifles at the very beginning of the season, and hunting out- for ourselves a retreat in a remote country, farmhouse, where, \ far from the madding crowd/' we elected to spend the entire summer in sublime indif- ference to chaperons, toilet3 and men— chiefly the latter. Our plan did not meet the approval of our maternal relatives, for certain rea- son* pertaining *'<? our future §pe?dy es-. tabSsunient ~ra ife which the summer had/'beenexpeoitd to* further, and that on* insubormiratibn reduced to despair. W« La#, trowever, the ears, of the pat<a s, wA«< were not nearly so anxious to' transf/er our small claims for n»inte- nance \<f utlu: than Uiefatherly slioi ers, and so wo carried theday/and found oufsel/es right speedily established at the iafrmhouse of Squire Bjrown, in a certam particular InOok adjacent to a aammess rivor,ne^rN4tth^e- which we eiert&d to call Sleepy Sorrow. c a fortnight we did nothing material sa«f sleep, read, drink milk and eat strawberries; then there came what the naJves tali \a spoil of weather,\ and waawakene&to a consciousness of the io/eiinessb«t(OUt us, running wild to ex- pire the hills that lay around us, all 8 y in wrapped ma golden haze; to pnetratb to the heart of-\.the dim, cool iSiUdwoodi where strange flowers were \blossoming and delicate ferns bowed to toe vagrant breezes over fairy carpets of soft, green moss; and to follow in meir vagabond course the countless laughing brooks that tumbled down the hillside or murmured under the willows, where, In the deep pools, the speckled , trout lay in Wait for the unwary fly, in blissful ignorance of book and rod. One day, while the rambling spirit was still unappeased, yet had boots and limbs put in their protest, an inspiration came to us\ most happy hi its promise. We would dtlvfrfo the falls in the sqnjte% ohe-honoohaise. Neither of us had ever drawn rein over the back of living steed; but we were persuaded that driving in the country was a Very! simple matter, and then Rosy, the -farmer's ancient horse, was a steady piece of flesh, not likely to bring us to grief, if her owner's statement was to be trusted—viz., that Roxy would dra* the old chaise safely to the falls and back wita the lines lying- Over the dash-* board! Accordingly Roxy was harnessed In, our basket packed with a comfortable luncheon, and we, mounting to seats, started off. Io Uielnatter of driving there been Mhriskai of labor in this serenity that our unusual situation may not have warranted; but|ustas I.~W£is beginning to get the better of any little tremors that had hitherto interfered with iny entire enjoyment of the affair, Adele suddenly leaned forward, and* taking the whip from my band, dealt Roxy a sounding thwack upon her quarters. This was more than the* most amiable beast could be expected to bear with. eauaninuty^aM certainly Roxy resented it, for she made, a jump wtiich fairly threw me from the seat, and started at a tearing pace down the road. A horde's memory^f or this kind of an Trflront seemed not long, however* and when, by dint of shoutu^j coaxing and sawing on the lines our Bucephalus was gotten down to her ordinary gait, I turned to visit upon Adele something like a remonstrance. At a glance, I saw that she was triumphant in the opinion that Roxy and herself had come, fo a thorough understanding of relative positions, and therefore only meekly asked 2 .\VKhat was, the matter',.with her, Adele?'' .' \ '• Why, did you not see her switch her tail over the reins in the most im- pertinent maimer ? A horse never does that when it knows it has a master; and I determined to settle that question at once.\ Only one'more little irregularity,dis- turbed my entire confideflce-in the supe- rior lioraemansLiip of Adele, and as that only came Vhen we were in sight of the Mis, our journey waisthe most delight, ful aud novel imaginable. It was at the top of a steep hill that the white 4 tumbling waters of the cas- i-ade came to Us-r-a vision of beauty set in emerald banks, sparkling and throw- ing \up wreaths of \white spray that formed rainbows In. the sunlight. The reins had almost slipped from Adele's hands, and the whin, to which I had thus far paid manful attention, trailtd ignominiously in the dust of the highway as we sat devouring, the scene with enthusiastic gaze, when Roxy took it into her Venerable head to start in the most unaccountable fashion at a tr.'mendouspaceddwhtte hill- Frantically I eiutehed the whip, hold- ing it as rigidly upright as our bouncing eareer met the stony road would per- mit, lest by a wave of its lash the speed 'if the incomprehensible Roxy should be accelerated; and, expecting nothing • lse th<m instant destruction, I held my breath until, as suddenly as she had started, our anjmgi^hadjahded us whole and unaamased in front of a high gate which barred our wrther progress. Then I looked at Adele. Her lace was white, and the reins were of a .verity over the dashboard, since only the ex- treme ends of them remained in her tightly-closed hands; but her confidence in herself as a Jehu had evidently re- mained unskakeh, whatever she may have suffered physically in that way* for she answered my look with the utmost gravity, saying: • J *S#Ihftd notheld herwellttp, Daisy- I think that might have been danger' ous.\ Words foiled me, and I turned my at- tention, therefore, to the practical diffi- culties besetting our path. The gate, we conoluded, was the en- trance to the grounds of a certain un- known gentleman who owned all the lands hereabouts, and who had built himself a retreat in this wild and beau- tiful spot which, of late years, we had been told he seldom visited, and after due discussion we decided to< tie Roxy to the gate-post, trusting to Providence to find the somewhat Unstable beast there upon our return, and to climb the fence with our basket, when, after view- ing the falls, we would select a suitable place in which to rest and eat. our luncheon. We fonnd a nosebag ttndet the seat of the chaJse. which the squire, with due consideration for the welfare of his horse, had providently supplied with oats; but the adjustment of this portable manger was the most trying piece of business, in whioh we; were Bkely not \ be successful, we thought, until, in Our maneuvering, Roxy got a sniifof the grain, and lowered her head in a way highly satisfactory fotwo medium- sized young women .intent upon slipping a strap over her ears. The next difficulty was the fence, which was very high, and ornamented at the top with a row of most malicious pickets, but at the cost of sundry gar- ments torn ar.d some braises We scram- bled over, and straightway found our- selves in a paradise of irais. trees and flowers, growing in thejwil$ luxuriance of neglect, to be Bure, but a place never- theless to rest the very soul of weary huroanityj and in which to lose the very memory of the pushing, turbulent world in the roar of the bright waters dashing down its stony fall,- and dipping its foamy tide beneath the mirror-like cur- rent of the river below. When we had explored the place to our heart's content, we sought a lovely little glade shaded by immense elm treesj quite near the house, which was rather a commonplace affair, consider- ing its romantic situation, where we spread out the contents of our lunch- basket, and with much nonsense land laughter proceeded to enjoy ourselves in a nmnner to horrify the fashionable cir- cle in\ which we were supposed to be too welt-pred ever to do anythinz in a thor- __ uT«hiy natttrstand girlish way. , the t There was a rowan tree on the out- skirts of the httle park, in which we bad established ourselves, the unripe berries of which- looked a pale, pretty yellow in the sunshine, and, dragging down Adele's long, waving, black nair, I dressed it fantastically with such ar- rowy leaves and berries as I could pull from the low-hanring limbs. While we were engaged in this pretty business, there came through the still liess along, low cry, hair human in its sound, yet nltpcether unearthly. \What em tb«4 bet\ questioned Adele, a startled look widening her mag- atioCDt Vkgk tye% and just UMB I ***tt ft gltaVMOl B ' body^ ouf of the mouth of whi.cn hung a great red tongue, and the eyes 01 which looked t© my frightened imagination like baUsoffire, and shrieMngi 4, Run, Adele,\ I set offmyself asfast as my feet, that seemed palsied ,WithJerrpr, would carry me in the direction of the gate,, thinkingZ/wtfeh an agonized sense of in- sufficien(w,-6f those horrible pickets atop of the fjtoce, and' never doubting that lAnelewasjelose at my heels, until again land again a bellowing \ View halloo \ caine. ringing dowu the wind after me, checking my headlong flight and giving me the sustaining senior human as- sistance, which induced me at length to halt and look back. \- It was a shocking sight that met my gaze as I did so. XJrjon the grass, where, she had sat when I stuck the berries -into her loosened hair lay Adele, hef head sup- ported in the arms of a strange man who knelt beside her, and around the two a gietantiohQund careeningin wildoiroles. Hore,aahamed of myself than I had ever been, in'iny* life before, I turned to retrace my steps, just in time .to see the stranger lift Adele up in his arms, and move rapidly toward the house, fol-' lbwedby the : lagdog. . In vain did i hasten my steps. I could not overtake them, but, shaping my course by the direction o.t their dis- appeasarice, I found myself presently in a protty morning-room, in which Adele lay Upon the couch, with a shriveled j*l&ia.iry of a'woman. bending over her with a campUor- bottle in hand, but no sign of either man or dog that I coulddetect.. '•' Leo is as gentle as a lamb,\ said the little old womah, apologetically. \Hut he has come near being the death of you with fright,young ladies.\ For by this time Adefe had Tjpened her eye3 and commenced to look sround her. \-itisasbame-to allow suchaanoij- ster to run at large!\ I cried, more ener- getically than politely; and then Adele lifted her head and.'peeting into an opposite .mirror, said nothing more sensible than, '* What a fright I must, look, Daisy!\ at whkh evidence of re- turning life the old attendant nodded her head approvingly, and bustled away to prepare us some tea, for whiefi thought I at .least was grateful. As soon as the door closed and we were alone, Adele sprang up and began twisting up her harrr, hut so far from testifying to the Vexation I had expected her to feel after such an adventiire, she asked, eagerly. \Did you see him, Daisy? Hois quite the handsomest man X over met.\ \Forheavtn's sake, Adele, have done with nonsense, and let us fly to Roxy, and the squire's chaise before wa get into another ridiculous scrape,\ I im- plored. \Ishall do nothing of,the kind, my dear. People who keep great dogs to frighten errant damsels out of their senses shouht not be suffered to escape paying thapenalty of .their indiscretion In some way \Sr asotheri\ answered the heartless creature, [and I prepared my- self to sulk, when our old fairy again en- tered the apartment, and Said: - \-Mfc- Mmgtott-preaents-his compli- ments to the young ladies, and begs, if they are sufliciently rocovtred Irbm tlreir fright, that they will allow him to offer them some refreshment in compaaj withhiafriendahdgUeat, Mr.Stephen- son, with whom, he believes, they have an acquaintance.\ \Great heavens!—the very pair of lions we wore expected to-encounter at NewpOrtj and from the honor of which we ran away 1\ I gasped hi consterna- tion; but Adele only laughed and an- swered : \ Well, since they are such Vandals as to run us down with dogs?, it may-be as well to surrender gracefully.\ And following her lead We were ush- ered by the old fairy into a charming little dining-room^ where we found Fred Stephenson and Mr. Islington waiting beside a flaintily-spread table, and, bar- ring the embarrassment which\ -speedily wore off, sat down to a partieearree meal that would have convulsjd our entire world with horror badiLheen permitted to witness the johity thereof. . When both the fun and the feeding werewellover, we bade the attendan- fairy adieu, and with a parting look at the falls, made our way leisurely to the great gate that gave entrance to the ent chanted ground*, only to find that our cup of disaster was not yet full. Boxy had grown impatient of our long absence, and, with the nosebag still around her neck, had calmly turned her back upon us, and-was doubtless by this time far oh her road home, leaving only the halter, which she had ingeniously slipped out of, as a melancholy reminder of the unreliability of f 11 trusts rerfoscd in four-footed animals and a woman's ability to tie a knot.

The Indianapolis }*rice Current says: it seems to be the opinion of those who have examined this matter prjrtty thoroughly that a considembladf crease will be found in the stock of the United States and Territories, after this year's shipments are over. We are of the Opln • Ion that this may be the caso in regard to such as are sufficiently wsD bred for shipment to foreign mtirkots; but as to inferior stock, wc question whether much, if any, deficiency will be fduhd. Yet in any event there will unquestion- ably bo a considerable advance Ah. the price of cattle another year, as\Weli as in sheep and swine.. There are two reasons why this may be so; the first of which is the greatly,-Increased tide of emigrants to our country this season, who will be consumers instead of pro- ducers for a twelvemonth to come; and the second reason is. so numerous are the losses sustained in Grost Britain and Ireland during the past eighteen months\ in domestic animals, that their wants for this year will doubtless be larger than the past have oeen. An Old Kiurmtr'* WUdom. One who has tilled the soil for forty years, and meantime accumulated a competence and given his v children a good education, says his experience has taught him these things: 1. One acre Of land, well prepared and well culti- vated, produce more than two which received only the same amount of labor had on ono. 3* One cow, horse, mule, sneep or hogjwell fed, is more profitable than two kept on the amount necessary to keep one well. 3. One acre of clover of grass is worth more than two.ofoot- ton where no grass or clover is raised. 4. No fariner who buys oati, corn, wheat, fodder and hay. as a rule, for ten years, can keep the sheriff away from the door ik the end. 5. Hhe farmer; Who never reads the papers, sneers at book farming and improvements, al- ways, has a leaky roof, poor Stock, broken-down fences, and complains of bad \seasons.\ 6. The farmer who is\ above his business and intrusts it to another to manage, soon has no bus!*, nessto attend to. 7. The farmer whose habitual beverage is cold water is healthier. Wealthier and wiser than be who does not refuse to drink. Wtoeiw tta«\Stpeet-\»)rmmn« JPM» -Tffcelr ' MiaiiU. When the wind blows cold and the air is crisp with frost it is not anun- eomm6n J thing to meet at evening in the stareets \of New York, especially below Gwial street and in the Boweryi beggars Whose Claim to consideration Is either ;eroT the assertion that they have fo^piace tosieep. The plea of hunger is v erennial, but the request for money to pay for a night's lodging is one that is Btlaom or never preferred at this season by the Sophisticated or professional beg- gar. He does not now sigh for the shelter of a lodging-house, but is well content to forego tho accommodations whioh later he will beg to secure. The lodging-house keeper is not at present the person to whom he miist look for such disturbed slumber as, in winter, he can snatch in the \brief truces between hirnself and the predatory inseofc band whose name is legion. It is the police- man Who is the autocrat of his bed- chamber in summer, and the canopy is the sky.

And bxCmfty bo found oh tho benohes in tho ptiblio parks, where ho enters upon possession at the witoliing hour of midnight. It is curious tbnote what olnsaes of people on joy theso parks, and when.

This shadow is the beggar who, unlike tho wise husbandman, strives to make bay while thosun does not shine, and who wearily \ moves on \ through fear ol tho police, until ho has moved with the hours to mldnigut. He thongoes to the parks and sloops, unless the park police- man, who must remain awake htmsolf, maliciously decides to keep him awake also. And this Is usually the caso, for it is an cvery-nlght affair for the man in gray uniform to flit about through the parks and roughly Shake into semblance of wakofulness the wretched crcaiufti he tindi, and admoniihei him not to sleep. WKh * growl that is an oath the beggar declares himself awake, and straight- way nods again This- is often repeated during the night. At earliest dawn the policeman makes a final round, and-with the voice of authority announces that sleep must positively have ending. This thne he is obeyed, though with the slowness of unwilling acquiescence.
