BY C. M. KENDALL. Miss Sally Strong was a peculiar woman For sixty years she had retained her name, which exactly suited her hard nature; and the man having the assurance to ask her to ex- change it for his own, would have been a rare companion for Cummings in his tiger hunts in the jungles of Africa. nh, least, no one in the village of B would dare to question his mm L She was one of those who seemed to have been born an old maid in perspective. Before she arrived at her teens, she used to stone the boys, with a malignant delight; and ere she was out of them. hercontempt for the opposite Sex was strikingly manifest, that all prudent young men, if accidentally walking upon the same side walk, to ayoid a meeting, would very uietly cross to the other side and allow her the wiels of it. Yet she was a privileged person, and people would smile at anill-natured remark from her as though it were a compliment. Even the young minister of the parish treated her with marked respect, although he was certain to have his last sermon wonderfully criticised, in answer to his kind inquiry ding her bealth. The secret of all this might have been written in three words—she was rich; and even the clergyman was worldly-minded enough to desire to be on good terms with one who was the largest contributor to his sapport. Aunt Sally, as the villagers universally called her, had received the bulk of her property from a decvased aunt, which her shrewd busi ness qualities had enabled her to invest so advantageously that she increased in ~wealth as she did in years, and, like many other rich ple well advanced in life, had scores of af- ectionate young relatives, who each hoped to obtain a large slice of the cake of real estate which would be cut up in the event of her de- cease. Her cold gray eyes were too shrewd not to see through their eager attentions to the very seliishness of their source. One nephew, however, did not belong to this class of schemers. On the contrary, the old lady was very often the victim of his jokes, and he would dispute with her just for the fan of | having a hot argument. Yet for any real ser- viee, she would oftener apply to him than any | one else. She had even loaned him a sum sufficient to stock a fine store, but still this Frederick so often annoyed and vexed her that public opinion—extending no further, of course, than the limits of this village—was equally di- vided as to whether he would be the favorite heir or becut off with shilling. evening, w the meeting of the parish sewing circle at the house of the clergyman, this nephew perpetrated a joke upon his aunt, the result of which he never forgot. She, un- like most maiden ladies, considered these gath- erings a sort of fashionable nuisanee, but usual- ly was present in order to indulge in her sareastic remarks. Her nephew was there os- tensibly to wait upon his aunt, but the fair Lucy, iter ot the worthy practioner, Dr. Blood, partieularly allured him with her charms. id it ever oceur to you, girls,”’ said the old lady, “ what you are here tor?”’ “To be sure, aunt.’ answered one of her nieces, “ simply to make clothing for the poor heathen,”” % Where may these objects of your great pity r ? ~O, in Siam, Burmah, and other like places.”’ “Indeed! Well, heavy woollen shirts are Yery servicable garments, upon my word, for the people living under tropical sun. They will doubtless be very grateful for clothing so suited to their climate.”’ ~ Well done, aunt'*’ exclaimed Frederick. “ A good shot and no mistake. But these cir- clea are grand affairs, after all.”’ * Grand affairs, indeed, for young men to say soft . and silly girls to listen to them! Urand affairs to dispense the sccummlated gossip of amonth! Grand affairs for scandal moving, and fur everything but the purpose | they profess.”’ ray Aunt Sally looked about her with a triumphant glance. as though her charges were unauswerable In fact, tov many felt the justice of her rebuke to measure words with her. Even Frederick agreed so much with her in the abstract that he was content to remain silent. Having achieved such a moral victory. the lady con- tinwed in unwonted good humor during the rest of the evening When the party broke up, as Frederick was taking leave of bis young friends, with hia aunt upon one arm and the fair a the other, the old lady suddenly remembered that she had left her muff. ~ Oh. never mind, aunt,”’ said the young man. ‘I will get it and send it up te you in the morning.”’ * But [ do mind, Fred. Strong, for it is not my way to leave things about in this manner. But where can it be? certainly left it with wy bonnet and ck ak.”’ ~ Where can it be?’ echoed all her affection- ate nieces, diving into sundry places in their | eagerness to assist in the search. ~ “* Somebody must have taken it!’’ cried one. “That is impossible,’ answered another, “ for aunt’s muff is unlike all others.’’ “ That is as trae,”’ said Fred, langhing, “asa barrel is unlike a two gallon keg.” nd he gave Lucy a mischievous glance. which she in- terpreted to mean that he knew the where- abouts of the missing article better than any one else. “It certainly is not with any of the ladies’ things said one of the young relations. ~Q, plague iy ma You all *’’ was the kind re- ply; “I must bunt it up myself, I suppose.”” * Deacon Gray, you have not taken aunt’s muff by mistake, have you!’ asked Fred, ma- liciously. That functionary drew himself up stiffly as though the imputation was unworthy of an an- swer, and stepped aside. “Well, I never ‘” exclaimed one of the young | ladies. “* Who could have done it ’"’ added another. Be silent—will you ’*’ cried the irritable | i or tell me where I can find it.”’ “Why, it is in Deacon Gray’s hat. pressed in j 80 tightly that we cannot remove it.” | “0, fie upon you, aunt' Such a hint, and | the deacon vnly a recent widower!” exclaimed j the laughing nephew. j Aunt Sally seized her muff. but the hat ad- hered most affectionately to it. By an angry } wrench it was libernted. and the unoffending hat flew across the entry, projected by the vig- erous foot of the incensed maiden. When it ar- rived at the terminus of its short jouracy, it bad assume] a most questionable shape, and its | condition might certainly have been termed | “ shocking bad.”’ ~- I will pay you for this, young man.”’ “Don’t trouble yourself, dear aunt. So far as I aw concerned, you are entirely welcome. | “You will perhaps tell me that you have had | to hand in this matter 7” “No, I will tel! you no falsehood about it; bat L intended it as a joke upon our stiff dea- con, as much or more than upon yourself. j ~ At best it is but an ill trick you have play- | ed upon me, and now mark my words: You | shall have reason to remember this muff to the | latest days of your existence.” | “As you please, aunt, since you take it so seriously ; but [ didn’t think asilly joke would | bave thus offended you.’ | Time thus passed on, and young Strong pros- pered hamaty in his business. He had amassed sufficient means to be enabled to repay his aunt | the sum she had loaned him, she declined re- | ceiving it. alleging that she preferred to have it remain on interest. In the meantime he had | slso persuaded the gentle Lucy to share his fortanes. As for Aunt Sally, a singular mania seomed to possess her. In the matters of real estate, stocks, &e., she had become a perfect alchemist. turning all to gold. The neighbors looked on and wondered, but | none ventured to remonstrate with her. She Was often seen to visit the office of Squire A—, and it was rumored that she was making the | final ta for the bestowal of her | Property after her decease. The affair of the | being VOL. IX. re was Wiarat et ba it was current with the vi Ts red would have to dearly for that joke. ied _ One morning the village was all action. Dur- ing the night the spirit of the redoubtable lady had quietly taken its fight. She was found dead in her arm chair, and had died as she had lived, alone. She had alarmed no one during the night, nor had she suffered previous illness. Curiosity, of course, was intense on the subject of her will, and it was uced as soon as de- cency would allow. All her connections were Present, and their enger, hopeful, anxious countenances would have furn’ @ rare sub- ject for the pencil of an artist. The reading of the will proceeded until it was finished, except & simple codicil. Each of her relatives, ex- cepting her nephew. had been remembered— some to a greater extent than others, but none considerable. At all events, not one-third of her fortune had been dispensed, and as the codicil only re- mained, all eyes were turned to Frederick cng. ber the lucky one after all. But what was their surprise, when they found it only made him recipient of her old sable muff and contents. The word ‘contents’ again excited their curiosity, and, to satisfy them, the article was produced, and found only to contain a simple paper sewed on to the lining. When detached and opened in the bold hand writing of Aunt Sally were found these words : © Dear PHEW.—You will doubtless ap- preciate this, the last joke [shall ever be guilty of, as I spprvcines yours on a certain time ‘ou remember. God bless you and yours. Parewell.’” Frederick declared he was satisfied. The old lady had fairly retorted upon him, and he certainly deserved nothing better at her hands. But what had become of Aunt Sally's money? —that was the mystery, and it became more than a ‘nine days’ wonder’ to the worthy vil- lagers, who diseussed it on every occasion. She was known to have large sums of money at various banks. but all this the anxious rela- tives ascertained was drawn out a few days be- fore her death. Squire A—— was consulted, who had drafted the will, but he stoutly main- tained that the will covered the whole of her property and he would have nothing further to do with it. One evening. about six months after the old lady’s death, while Frederick was conversing with his wife, the subject of the muff was intro- duced. “That wasa costly joke of yours, dear Fred?”’ said his wife gaily. “Bat I got the muff at all events, Lucy, and what is better, no one_has come forward to claim the three throusand dollars which she loaned me. I feel confident that she intended to present it to me and therefore destroyed my note. “Let us have a look at the old relic, Fred, if the moths have not eaten it wholly up. I will return with it in a moment.” The muff was produced, and, as Lucy, pre- dicted, the lining was wofully moth eaten. “My dear wife, you must look to this, for I oe it dearly on good Aunt Sally’s account. think you had better rip out the lining, and renovate the whole with camphor.” Lucy took her scissors and commenced at once fen the task. ** What can the old lady have stuffed it with, I wonder? Why, Fred, instead of cotton, she has wadded it with dirty Latah co gpl “Dirty brown paper, indeed!’’ exclaimed her husband. springing from his chair and catebing her hand, as ihe was about to throw a bunch into the grate. ‘ Why it is bank notes, or I am dreaming.”’ The mystery of the word ‘contents’? was now explained. Note after note was drawn out until more than thirty thousand dollars lay on the table before them. A letter was also found from the aunt which stated that she al- ways intended him for her heir His own note also came to light, from which his name had been torn off. This new revelation of course created an immense excitement among the vil- lagers. But Frederick aud his wife kept on the even tenor of their wealth, simply, but for themselyes. One evening, during each year. they opeued their splendid mansion to all. It is a famous affair for the villagers, and is known as the anniversary of ‘* Aunt Sally's Muff.”’ ES OSES Tomatogs—Tueir VaLur, Sorts, Move oF CuLtvze.—We will mention here oniy the varie- ties for the table. The Large Red is the most common. It is good, as every one knows, and is quite sure to yield well, if only moderate care is bestowed. The Large Smooth Red is just like the first, only it is free from indentations, and is inore easily freed fromthe skin. The Pear Shaped has a reddish pink hue, is very fleshy, has fewer seeds than those mentioned, is as good for stew ing, and is better for picking, being more firm, and of finer form. If you have a beech, you have, doubtless, sown some tomato seed in one of itscorners Give them plenty of air and sun, and be sure to keep them from chills and frosts. If 00 have no hot-bed, buy some plants of a neigh- r or gardener who has brought them forward in a hot-bed. Do this, we say, when the weather becomes s tt ed, and p'g.t them ina warm bed sloping south, protected rrom north winds and all cold. Cover them in some way, all cold nights. Or you may get plants in this way: Filla shal- low, broad box with fine mould, and plant the seeds in it, covering them very slightly. Water the plants generously as they come up, and give them plenty of sun and air, as above. Take them in when there is danger of cold rains, or cold winds, or frost. When the time comes for plant- ing out, pee a bed as above suyyested, and transplant the plants without removing the earth around each plant. ‘This can be easily done, if the seeds are sown very thinly in the box, and if a sharp knife or trowel is used in removing them from it. Plant them about three feet apart. Hoe them well, and when they set for fruit, pinch off the extremeties of the branches. This makes the fruit earlier and larger—Ohio Farmer May 16 Sn Mav Docs xot Focusp ix tHe Trorics.—It was with some surprise we learned that on Satur- day the Board of Alderman was called together, by a communication from the Mayor, to take some action for protecting the good citizens of Mobile from the dangers of hydrophobia. and that the Board of Aldermen did actually pass an ordinance for that purpose, imposing upon our people the most annoying inconveniences It ix, or ought to be, weil known that bydrophobia sloes not exist in the tropies, and our vicinage has | heretofore protected us from any instances of the kind.
