K Ills only cimuce to eicape was to | s ■ reach the mouth of a little creek which Hr emptied itself into the Connecticut Kir- ^ K or, just above the entrance of the latter ■i, > into Long Island Sound. There he had j [>, • a boat stationed, with two faithful attendants hidden beneath the high banks j ' of the creek. The distance from the j farm-house to the boat was two miles by j g ■the usually travelled. road. But a little j 1 sheep path acrou the"' farmer's orchard j {] would bring him to the roqd, only a I . mile from the boat, and aavo a qusr--teris length of bic fearful ran for lifei^ Just where the narrow path from the ■orchard opened into the road Hetty I Marvin eat with her dog Towaer, tend- n ing the bleaching of tho household lin- r en.

sense of her kinsman's danger, should i ' they rightly interpret the language j ' which she had repeated, she sobbed j j aloud, and hid ber face from sight. . } Her tormentoas did not stay longer to sooth or question her. They bad got, , they eupposed, the informstion they a wanted, and pnslfed rapidly on to the i river. . , • • j Now the governor bad so arranged a e signs! with his boatmen, that a* white , cjoth hv day, or a light in the night, die- . r played from the attic -window of his hid- ; ing-place, which waa-jnst visible nl the , r muuth of the creek,»should inform them 1 if he was in tronble, and pot them on i 1 the alert to help him.

Meanwhile, the hunted victim lay safe j l and quiet, where the simple shrewdness ! Of his little cousin had hidden hitn, until ' the time camp for her to return home for ' supper.

I.et the form be divided into six j Gelds of equal dimensions, and let the calti-j ration of each Geld be as follows : | First Year — I'loW down corn stnbble, j ' and eCed with oats, two bushels to the acre, i aud a<i>utbel of clorvr seed to (il aera*. j i — . Second Year—Cat one crop of clover for ; bay, and when Ihe second crop i* in serd, | plow under and sow in wheat, a bushel aud ' half to Ihe acre. 1 Third Y*ai— Harvest the wheal.

Fifth Year— Harvest the wheat. I Sixth Year— Draw all the manure on the I | Geld, and plant io corn. If the farm i« divided as above recom. ' mended, there will be every tear two fl*- 1 Js i I in wheat, one in corn, one iu oats, and one I in rlovcf for pasture.
