"O mother," said Mary, in a pleading ( tone, ""'won't yon please 10 let me take ' yoor little scissors, to cat some dro-seflj for my dally ? I'll bring them back j again." "No, I shall do no such thing ; you | are aWaya bothering me for aomglhing j alien J get n moment to sew; you'll want aon-ctbing else before I can .take a stitch.

The busty manner io which Master ; I Charley wss knatched up from his cradle ; ' and ihe impatient "hash, will yoa," i I that graetcd him was in no way raicnls- ) ted to quiet hit nerves, aad called forth ' I screams.

"I'm so hnagry " "111 risk your starving Qo away and doal bother fce— go play marbl« onh Fred la tbaaibw room."

For a feu momcnu there was a comj parattve qaict, as tiie two boys roiled i '| tbeir raarblci and discavted their in»rits; * I bat their voices grew louder nud louder, and finally Willie made a quick stop I backward, and brought his foot down ' on Ih'e baby's fingers.

mother ! till I am so tired of it I ali most wish I might never hear iuo Word again." "Do not say so again, it makes me ! tremble to think of what might be. ! This would be a ssd home if otic of those merry voires should never say mother again." Mrs. 1J»II started ; she had not I thought of such a thing, and the serious construction that her bos- i bund bad gitan to her hasty words ! shocked her. S'>c was en affectionate mother, and realty loved ber children, although she failed 'to rtdar into tbeir childish feelings with that appreciative, s; mpathy that they needed, and often administered impatient reproof, anil even Correction, without stopping to determine wbrihrr it was Rrr.ltd. ft was generally understood by the rhildr-n, that lo "hoth-r mother" wui the utusl icnuus oFriice tboy could coin ami mother, tnrf indeed, she vu, ro Ur as mere externals »t» con- erned N .. ■ household Were be'ter chtjied or f.-d, no home more o-dr .-ty thanbrr.; but sb» quit - f .rg.,1, in :.rr ai.iitiy to see her :h..t the little oc. a had moral natures mat ..cvdeif more careful training, affe. - turns iks; should he militated, nut dwarfed, and cratinga for sympathy 'hm should meet an earnest return Her bualiand'j words had startled her, and a iter sewing a few moments oneasilv. she looa np a lump and went to look nt Mary.

As she did so, she started at the burning touch, and utterad a cry of fetr that her hosband hasiily to her side. It was easy to sue that Mary was in a, fever, and after a few aoolbing words to his wd". tMr Hall hastened to call the family pHjVWfan, who decid-d a; oner that it was a case of scarlet fever "Have vonr other children ever had the fever. Mrs. llall," he inqnired. "Not one of them," was tha despair , ing reply. "Then I wonld advise you to send , the older ones Immediately away ; they : may possibly escape the infection, and may be better to here the house ; quiet." , The next morning Fred end Willie were t iit away several miles to the honse of a relative, and the house see in - | ed strangely, nw/olly still to their sad , j mother, who ben', anxiously over the ' unconscious Msry, listening to her dei lirions ravings when'tho fever was high, oh shivering sobs and moans when it j abated Little Charley was watched to I J if the fever had tainted his blood, j and for several day* they hoped he i srouid eecape, bnt he awoke one morn- ; ing with the crimson staining hit pare cheeks, and before night the fever crepb! end glowed in everv vein. It is very j t pitiful to see a child soflcr, especially an infant that knows nothing of the | .ture of pain, and looks so pleadingly to those in trn«t for relief, wondering ' ! much that Brother's love, which never ' failed h»fore, should be so powcrleas j i now. There waa a love, however, that was stronger yet, that did not fail, and j after many days and nights ol paipful ; watching, both children were pronounc- ' j ml onl of langer.

COST OL' FENCES. The following interesting extracts ore from n communication of Charles B. i Smith to the Cbnnlry Gentleman. At the New York Fair f*cU were ! presented as to the amount and cost of ' i f-Rcing, which will astonish every man j who bss not given the r abject much '• thought. $114.0011,00(1 for the fenriog 1 1 of a single State J And this is the cost of construction only, the value of the ' i land they cover not being included in ' , the estimate. Nolwiihalanding their i immense cost, they are a centnry behind the improvements of the ago. Evidently there is no one thing io ahich onr farmers so sad'y err as in building 1 fences. They build temporary fences, whieli rcq"ire conetant watching and fr-qnent repairs; they build wide wall fences, and cover up from fifty to seven1 ly feet of]. iid to the rod. williout thitking thai by so doiiyr they mnterially lessen the Site of the r field* ; they bniid • c r.d ilg-S.g. and are profoundly oucoimc'ou" that it reqnir- s four times as much lumber as s siraigh*. board fence, and that it puts thfec-ftfivrttia of a rod of land through Its entire conne beyond th- reach of the plough and mowing uiarhine I A mile of straight board feoce cim be hoilt with 13 000 feet of lumber -On- mile of r.<g z«g rail fence will require ;''3,00t. feet ranking e difference ,,f 33t(mn f. et. Taking tho estimnl<- of Hon. T c Peters, ns to ijpe amount of fpnrl'ig In New York, and allowing one-b ilf of them to be straight board fvneos, and the other tig-lag rail fences, if we reckon the extra quantity of lumber required for th® hitter at $4 per thousand, and the land at $40 per acre, the crooked fences will cost $40.000 000 the most! Can New York afford lo throw oway this value of land and lumber * Can the West, so scantily supplied nitb fencing materials, afford it? Ia my opinion, for a permanent fcnee the whole system of potting posts of wood in the ground. t(f be throwo out • by frost in three or four years, or to i decay in eigbt or ten. ia wrong ; and I believe thai the time will come when fanners will as soon build theie house* and barns In this way as their feneee, ami when zig-zeg in fencing will be * con»idered just as much a mark of wfsdoui as zig-zag in walking Substitute straight, upright, durable fences for the crouked, leaning, short-lived ones so common all over the country, and what a change Wonld be made in Ibe appearI ance and value of oar farms, nod what a : saving wo dd be made in materials, time, money end labor I Wc want fences that are easily and cheaply made j that are „ ! straight and cover bnt little land ; that are adapted to our river lands and roadsides, where snow-drifts are troublesome ; in winter,' and that will last in every j part, without cost of repairs, at least I fifty rears. EOLOKIXli AND ALLOriNd GOLD. '1 it is well kaoott that anything leas than i twenty four caret gold indicates that in ao ounce of that substance there are so many ; twenty-four parte of gold, and that the ; remaining portions of ao oance of it are ! made op of an alloy of Some Inferior mete) I usually copper There is no doubt that it > t* possible to give almost toy color to gold by the addition of particular alloys; and of , late, ingenuity has beon exerted to give ' the sixteen carat gold tho appearance oC, pure gold. Thia is "done by the eid partly j ot what is known as the coloring pot. in . which the metal is treated to an acid both of a certain amount of stmngih. By the judicious use of this contrivance, twentyfour carat goW may be made to resemble very closely native gold as found io ths shape of nuggets In California or Australia. N uggets are gever, however, round to be pure gold; they consist for the most part of aboot twealy-three carat gold, th* fraction being raa<lo up of an alloy or -ome inferior metal. In order ibe prffcy of gold, the' application of boat is, parbspe. doe of the simplest meant. Pnre gold wift . j not be in tbe ieact discolored it~w!Ht*. / twenty^tbrae carat gold will lake a slightly J red tint. There is this peculiarity about ./ the mode of testing suggested— it will cer- • lainly discolor very materially all Jotd of j any degrees of flueoaM inferior to that of twenty-three carat.
