At length I found mvself siifnmentlTrstrong enough to read and walk with-in doors, and the recollection of thehappy days I passed as a willing inva-lid at Marston Hall, repays me now ahundred fold for my preVious aufl'er-ing- s.

Well, I regained my wonted healthat last, but felt no desire to return toLoudon. In short there was something'n woum Keep nasning through mymind, making my heart beat Quickerthan usual,, especially f whenever Ichanced to be alone with my cousin. Ibecame dull, pensive, and absent, acuauge wmcii my cousin Agnes wasnot long in observing, and calling meto task for ; but instead of giving a ra-tional explanation of the cause of mymoodiness, I told her that if she wouldjoin me in my ramble through the

And now it only remains for me toadd that I did not leave England ; thatshortly after I had put the question tomy cousin Agnes, brother Fred andhis family were summoned to MarstonHall, where a very happy weddingtook place ; and when my brother re-minded me of what I had done in theway of making a fool of myself, Itold him I did not care, so long as I offelt convinced that I had shown noth-ing but sound sense in wooing, win-nin- e,

and wedding my odd, but goodlooking cousin, Agnes.

THE CROW'S ViLCE TO THE toFA 11 --lit. .

BY THOMAS X. BREWER.

Whatever wrong the Crow commitsagainst the cultivators of the soil may,by a little painstaking, ne materially Itlessened or wholly prevented. Thebenefits he confers are both numerouand important. During the time he re-mains

swith us be destroys, so says no

less authority than Wilson, "myriads.of worms, moles, mice, caterpillnrs.Krubs, and beetles." Audubon also athrtns that the Crow devours myriads ..I

by the Crow in keeping thenepesis in check. Yet here ia Massachu-setts, regardless of such testimony in tatheir favor, we have nearly extermin-ated these birds, and the destructivegrubs, having no longer this activeenemy to restrict their growth, are yearby year increasing with a fearful per-sistence.

isWe have seen large farms,

within an hour's ride of Boston, inwhich, over entire acres, the grass wasso completely undermined and theroots enten away, that the loosened turfcould be rolled up as easily a if it badbeen t u- - oy ine tarfing-spad- e. In thesame ne-g- borhood whole fields of corn,potato.., ani almost every kind rf gar-den vegetable, bad been eaten ttroot and destroyed. Our more intelli-gent farmers, who have earefu.lystudied out tbe cause of this unosua!insect growth, have satisfied themselvctthat it is the legitimate result, tbe nat-ural and inevitable consequence, of ourown act. Our sbort-sighte- d and mur-derous warfare upon tbe Crow hn.i in-terrupted the harmonies of nature, dis-turbed her well-adjuite- d balance, andlet loose upon agriculture its enemlewith no adequate means of arrestingtheir general increase.

Pfobably tbe fiercest discussion- everbad in executive aeasion upon a nom-ination by a President in sympathywitn uongrees, was that ol last nisbt.on tbe nomination of James M. Ashleyfor Governorof Montana. Three hour'

iscuEsion was indulged in. durinirwhich the strongest language was usedagainst Ashley, and he was buffetedand cuffed in such a sad manner thatit is thought his personal pride will pre-vent bis acceptance of the. oilioe. Inthe first place, there ia the best reasonfor saying that the President did Dot desire to appoint Ashley, but did not- - feel

lmseit authorized to disregard therecommendation of the whole Republican delegation ia the Fortieth Congress.

iu ids next Diane, it Is nrettv certainthat the Senatedid not prefer to confirmhim, but was compelled to do no underthe pressure of circumstances. . In tbetbird place, there Is no doubt that the 1people af Montana did not desira A ah. 1

The citizens of tbe Territory begged at least that Ashley be notgiven to rule over them, whoever elseuiigm oe cnoseu; xbese remonstrances,together with certain episodes in Ash-ley's career, including the celebratedCase letter, were made much of by hisopponents, and he waa denounced in thebitterest and more emphatic manner.Edmunds called bim a bold, bad man;and other leadinii Republican Senatorssupported the eiiarges made against ahim, which pronounced hiun dishonest,corrupt, and Untrustworthy, , To suchlength aid ma opponents go that be wasfairly beaten atone time duririK the debate, aad it is everywhere asserted thatbad there been a usually large attendance or senators when tbe vote wastaken, he would have been rejected by

large vote. - The question, late in themorning, was submitted, 41 Senatorsbeing present, and when the vote wascounted it was found that he had amajority of one. There were againsthim the Democrats a;6; and Republicans, 6; total, 20. Sherman voted for Ashley, not because bewanted to, but ob a matter of Statecourtesy. Thurman voted no.

Libertywas sweet, and I felt in no haste tosacrifice it on the altarof Hymen. Notthat I was a wild young gentleman,who didn't care for the comforts andattractions of home ; but I didn't wishto have the onus of a household thrustupon me so lonsr as I felt hannv andcontented alone.

I rose from niv chair, nut mvhulr tothe mantlepiece, lighted a cigar, andsmoked away for a couple of minutesmost furiously, then I consulted mywatch rang the bell, ordered a hand- -eoui, resolving to see my brother Fred,before I accepted or declined my un-cle's invitation.

sensical questions. Uncle Jeremy hassent a very polite invitation to spend aweek or two with him inWarwickshirebefore I leave England, and I thought

would jdst fun aha flsfe ftf what Ishould do in the matter."

"Why accept it of course," saidFred.

"Well, but does it not seem strange,"asked ; "for I always thought that he

andour father were never on very goodterms."

"So thev were not for many years,"replied Fred, "but matters were putright between them some time ago bytJiicle Jeremy's Apologizing and other-wise behaving like a gentleman'

"You never told me of that, Frfedj"said I

"No, because I thought you wouldcome to know all about it in due time.But I see here, Tom," continued mybrother, returnine the letter, "he evenoilers you his friendship, should youever settle in England, and that wouldbe something worth having, I can tellyou."

"Yes, doubtless it would," said I:"but I've got a balance at my banker'sand I can manage verv well over thewater. Besides I don't think I shouldlike to remain In England now that Ihave got used to the Yankee fashions."

"Bosh, all bosh, Tom; you'd Deeomeah Englishman again In no time," re-joined Fred, smiling.

"Perhaps so," said I, ''blit I.doiibtI'll follow- - your advice and

telegraph to Uncle Jeremy, saying Iwill be at Marson Hall

"But won't you dine with us thisevening?" asked Fred.

"Oh, certainly," said I; "at six o'clockas usual ?"

"Yes, at six," he replied.And we did dine at six," and a jolly

evening we had; but, strange to say,not the least allusion was made to myintended visit to' uncle Jeremy's, until

broached the subject myself by ask-ing my brother if he thought I shouldenjoy the excursion, and what Sort Ofpeople I might expect to meet there,

"Well not many of any sort," he re-plied, "for I don't think they keepmuch company; but you will nave akind host andhostessand their daugh-ter Agnes (who will, suppose, have todo duty as your companion-in-chief.- ")

"Daughter Anges!" I exclaimed;"why she was a mere child when I leftEngland."

"Quite true, Tom," continued mybrother, "but she is a woman now; andif I dare hazard an opinion, a very fineone too;" then glancing mischievouslyacross the table, he added, "but ofcoarse we take you to be proof againsteven femine perfection itself."

"At any rate, Fred," I observed,rather snappishly, "I am proof againstevery 'insult' from that quarter."

"All right, Tom; only don't make afool of yourself, that's all," said mybrother.

"No fear about that," I replied, nowalmost wishing I had declined the in-vitation.

Nothing more was said on the subject during the evening; and when Itook my leave ot my orotuer ana nisfamily, I immediately determined notto afford my fair cousin the least reasonto suppose that I had come to MarstonHall with the intention of falling inlove with her.

On my arrival at the station, wheremy uncle had promised to join' me, Iwas disappointed at not finding himand was about to hire a conveyance tocarry me to my destination, when updashed a park phaeton, driven by a re-markably handsome young lady. Shedrew up hastily and beckoned metowards her.

"Mr. Lawson, I presume?" said thelady.

" Yes, that my name," I replied bow-ing.

She at once introduced herself iu themost unaffected manner, excused theabsence of her father on account of in-disposition, hoped I had enjoyed myjourney, was glad I had come, becausethey saw so little company; and, infact, behaved herself just as if we hadbeen long familiar to each other.At length, after seeing my baggage allright, I took my seat and then asked

in the politest manner for permissionto take the reins.

"Oh, no, thank you, cousin," she re-pli-

with a provoking smile playingabout her wcU-form- mouth, "i amrather fond of driving, besides, you donot know the way so well as 1 do, andthese ponies are apt to become restivesometimes; so I think I had better keepmy post till we get home."

I merely bowed in acquiescence,though I did not exactly like her littlespeech, and the next moment we weregoing at a terrible speed along abroad

APRIL 23, 1869.THE PHILOSOPHY OF PUNISH

MEST.We know on the highest authority

that it is out of the heart that all offences come, and that the purifying ofthe source is the only effectual way ofcleansing tne streams tnat now fromit. This is what a humane and philo- -sopnicai penai system snouid proposeto itself. If a man is in a mental andbodily condition that makes him danMMtntt tn ... . fw.i . liar a 4.. ...right to separate him from the bodypolitic and subject him to such restraint and treatment, moral and medical, as may restore him to social healthagain. Xhe analogy bet ween the morbid and mental conditions of theguilty criminal and those of the innocent lunatic is sufficiently perfect toguide us to practical results.

Now, when a man is clearly a lunatic, wuo cannot be leit at laree withoutdanger to himself and ethers, andwhose only hope of cure lies in wisetreatment apart from his old associates,he is not committed to a hospital for acertain specified time, then to be dis-charged, whatever may be his mentalcondition. He is detained and treat-ed until he is cured the fact bet-ing determined by compete nt expertswiiono uvea are devoted to the studyoi sucn cases, w ay snouia , tne menwhose depraved passions and impertect nd . lead to crimesagainst persons and property be letloose upon society merely because theyhave spent a certain number of monthsor years in a penitentiary, when thereis no reason ior believing that tney arecured of their vicious propensities ?Cure should be the essential element ofrelease. Now. when our nenal establishments are placed, as we have latelyurged, in charge of men of scientifictraining and special adaptations, asour lunatic hospitals are, the first stepwill have been taken toward tho . newstate of things, which we have nodoubt will be as much in advance oftne present as this is of what nrevailed fifty years ago. Then every casecan be treated scientifically by itself,like cases of insanity, and detention orrelease determined by the results ofthe treatment. The substitution of aclass of men like the superintendentsoi tne establishments lor the insane,me miotic, tne aeai and dumb, tne in-ebriate, for the class that now conductthem, however humane and well-mea- n

ing they may be, is the first and indis-pensable condition of any change inme present system.

This condition satisfied, the process,as we have conceived it, would besomething on this wise. The judge,after the crime had been properlybrought home to the accused by theverdict of the jury, would relegatehim to the" penitentiary, without anylimitation of sentence, there to abideuntil the superintendent should decidethat he was fit to be restored to society.Incorrigible offenders would be per-manently separated from the commu-nity which they cannot restrain themselves from injuring. . Such a superin-tendent a we have supposed wouldmake a study of every case, apply thetreatment suitable to each, unite thediscipline of the mind with that ofhe body, and make punishment a wise

means of re format ion. And he wouldbe the fittest person to decide whentbe subject could be safely restored tothe world, or whether tbe public securi-ty required his permanent sequestra-tion from H To guard against toohasty discharges, it might be madeimperative that no convict should bedischarged Until he was master of somehandicraft by which he could supporthimself. A board of visitors, compos-ed of men of the highest 'standing,above all suspicion, might be formed,who should pass upon each case, andaffirm or disallow the decision of thesuperintendent, with an appeal to the

overnor, or tne. cnier-justic-e oi tneiarbest court, in cases of doubt. The

details of tbe new system would soontake care of themselves. All themanifold mischiefs attendinar e thepardoning power as now exercised, andon tne inequality oi sentences lor oi,fenses of the same gravity, would bethus cured ; and, as far as is consistentwith human infirmity, the good of thehonest and virtuous part of the community would oe reconciled witn tnereformation of the guilty portion andpromoted by it. it would be a wisetempering f justice with mercy 7--.

THE PROPERTIES OP TEA. -

The physiological properties of teaare similar to those of .coffee; it isslightly astringent and tonic, and whenused without milk or sugar is a Bimpleremedial agent in nausea and indiges-tion; but if suKar is added it is con-verted into a thin syrup, which is moreapt to produce . indigestion , tban theconsumption of many times its weigh!of pure candy, since sugar is mora dirgestible in the concentrated than in thedilute state. It is a mild stimulant to athe skin and kidneys,' It prevents sleep-iness, counteracts the effects of aioohol,and reduces the rate of waste of the tis-sues, an action supposed to-- ' be due tothe thfcine, or peculiar principle- - of theplant, tbe quantity of which ia various-ly estimated from one-ha- lf of one tofour per cent, and which closely re-sembles caffeine, - or. the princip!. ofcoffee.

The remarkable rock of Gibralter, axrey, compact marble, which risesfrom 1,400 to 1,603 leet above the Mediter-ranean, has log been famous for itscurious cave, liecently, pretty thor-ough explorations have been made ofsome of these cave, under tbe directionof Captain Broine, of tbe British army.One of tJai, known a 'Martin's Cave,'opens oatbe eastern face of the rock,and waa evidently an anoient sea-cav- e,

though eow upwards of seven hundredfeet abOtbe Mediterranean. A monthwas devoted- to the exploration, andenrioualy enough, there were no evi-dence of any previous exploration ofthe cave. The explorers first excava-ted from three to six feet of earth alongthe south fide of the cave. This

to them a stalagmite floor, onwhich were found portions of tbe lowerjaw, supposed to be human, aud a con- -siderable quantity of bones of animals,birds nd fishes ; also broken pottery,rude and ornamented; bandies andpots; stone axes ; Hint knives andmat chips ; worked bone; sea-shell- s;

land-shel- ls and water-washe- d pebbles.In. a small chamber, off tbe north sideof tho cave, were found two ancientewords, and a small enameled copperpsate, beautifully made and brilliantlyooioreu, wiiaauwgonpon it represent-trig a bird i in the oil of a serpent,These relics are referred to the eleventhor twelfth century. In another largecave, oi, wionaeistaye," were roundnumerous human remains, atone axes.--.mv li ii i . o, v. , x.c, kju ioe northside of this cave, by breaking up thestalagmite floor, other caves were dis-covered, which extended some five hun-dred and forty feet in a north-wester- ly

From Uie St. Louis Commercial Bulletin.j "'THE REASON WHY.

" Our merchants and business men arecomplaining about hard times and tbedullness ot trade; and no wonder, whenthey don't advertise. People whomnkethemselves known through the publicprints have no lack of customers. Tbe"St. Bernard" concern up on Fourthstreet which may or may not beclap-tra- p institution is crowded withcustomers all day long, and even intothe night ; and why ? Simply from iliberaland judicious system of advertising. Our city papers are so bare ofbusiness advertisements that a stranger,ob glancing at them, might well suppose be was in some small inland town.instead of the self-s- t j led ereat city ofthe Mississippi Valley. Yesterday wenoticed tbe "outside" of a copy of theChicago Tribune conspicuously postedup in the counting-roo- m of the MissouriDemocrat, with this significant placardaiiacneu :
