Far-of "‘ ’Club.
At the annual sesuiion of this body, held in
New York, week‘ before last, a splendid speci-
ciety, byglr. Lawton, of New Rochelle. Many
of the berries were from three to four inches in
circumference. A large basket of them were
partaken of by the members, and their rich and
luscious pulp was duly, praised. Mr. Lawton
named the fruit “ The New Rochelle Blackber-
ry,” but on a vote of the members of the Club,
Blackberry.” A vote of thanks from the Club
was also tendered to Mr. Lawton. The follow-
ing paper was read by Hr. Lawton :
Thc,Blackbtrry--To which _I have
before called the attention of the, Club»-
has been cultivated in small quantitifl
for several years in ‘New Rochelle, West-
chester County where Iuow reside. I
have not been able to ascertain who Int
discovered the plant, and brought it into
garden culture, but an informedjit was
found on the road side, and from thence
introduced into the neighboring gardens.
As it came to me without any name to
distinguish it from the Wild Bramble, I
beg leave to introduce it to the notice of
the club as the New Rochelle Blackberry,
and at the same time, present as a speci-
men a few quarts of the fruit, gathered
this morning, precisely as they came
from the bushes without being selected.
I have examined many works witlil view
to ascertain if there has ever been any
improvement on the well known wild va-
rieties, but without success. The "Daub.
lc Flowering,” "Davao;/," or "Dewber-
ry "American Upright’ anltho ' White
Frmited" are all that are named. The
Dewberry is the first to ripen. and
the best flavored fruit. The White
Fruited seems tobe cultivated as a nov-
elty more than for the fruit. The Up-
right variety fruit, late in the season, is
of vigorous growth, under favorable cir.
cumstances produce: large mulberry aha-
ped berries. but the seeds are not thickly
bedded in the pulp, and are so abundant as
to impair materially the quality of the
fruit. This plant camps to adhere «to its
original character with singular tenacity,
or from the many millions of plants which
spring up from seed annually distributed
in almost every diversity of climate and
soil, we should constantly find new va-
rieties. Improving the wild plains by
careful cultivation is one thing; to pro-
duce a new variety is another. The
fruit now before you I believe to hoof-
the last named character. It is not like
the Dewberry, or long and mulberry-sbr
ped like the "Upright Blackberry," and
the seeds are so completely bedded in a
rich pulp as hardly to be noticed. I think
in shape and size they compare very well
with the Hovey Seedling Strawberry.
The "New Rochelle Blackberry” sends
up annually large and vigorous upright
shoots with lateral branches, all of which
under common cultivation will be crow-
ded with fine fruit, a portion of which
ripen daily in most seasons for six weeks.
My plants have ripened from the 20th to
goth July until the lot and 15th of Au-
gust. They are always perfectly hardy,
always thrifty and productive, and I have
not found them liable to blight or injury
by insects.
It will be many years before our citi-
zens genunll y will be able to procure this
fine fruit, as our large hotels and lloons
will contract at high prices for all that can
be sent to market. But numerous pri-
vate gardeas may be stocked for family
use in three or four years, and in their
turn aid in the distribution. Except that
they are perfectly hardy and need no pro-
tection in the_ winter, the ciiltivationnmy
be the same as the Antwerp Raspberry,
but to produce berries of the largest size
they should have a heavy dump soil and
shade. _
Professor Mupes, in The Working
Farmer, for February, 1850, argue, with
much zeal the cultivation of the Black-I
berry, giving its history. modes of cu_lti-
vaiion, and uses. I refer to him for the
best directions for its management in gar
dens.
_§‘Tbis peculiar species of Blackberry, is
now in successful cultivation by Geo. Seymour
lb Co., at Soulh Norwalk, and the fruit exceeds
in richness of flavor and real beauty, anything
in the berry line, we have ever seen. We saw
them as large as the egg Plumb, while yet un-
ripe. This fruit is a most valuable acquisition
to the horticultural products of the country, and
we hope soon to see every garden in this vicini-
ty, graced by their presence. At present Mr.
S. is utterly unable to supply the demand for
plants, yet we presume a preference would be
given to our own townsmen, in the sale of such
as he can spare.

powerful alterative. T Eaten as fruit or as
common food, it is a most exelient article;
and Q a sauce, pickle or preserve, it is
equal if not superiorue any, and may be
prepared and eaten inf.ao many difibrent
forms. I have often need it in com-
plaints of the liver and found it to agree
with the happiest success.
The method commonly adopted of pre-
paring the fruit. jis'to cut them in slices.
and put them in salt and vinegar like cu-
cuuibers.
To stew them’ take them ripe from
the vines, slice them, put them in a pot
over a stove or fire, without water;
they will cook in their own juice! stew
them slow,.and when done, put in a piece
of good butter, and eat them like apple
sauce. ’
To preserve them in imitation of figs,
to which they probably are equal, cut
them in slices, lay them in a stone pot
with alternate layers ‘of good brown

I found it here-—a worn out shoe,
All mildew’d with time and wet with dew.
’Tis a little thing 3 ye would pass it by
With never a thought, or word, or sigh.
Yet it stir-I in my spirit a hidden well,
And in eloquent tones of the put doth tell.
It tells of a little fairy child
That bound my heart with a magic wild,
Of bright blue eyes and golden hair,
That ever shed joy and sunlight there-—
Of a prattling voice, so sweet and clear,
And the tiny feet that were ever near.
It tells of hope: that with her bad birth,
Deep buried now in the silent earth ;
Of a heart that had met an answering tone,
That again is left alone-—-alone!

Oh ye. who have never o'er loved ones wept
Whose brightest hopes have ne’er been swept

Then passes away—yet is ne’er forgot ;
If like these your life-hopes have never fled,
Ye cannot know of the tears I shed;
Ye cannot know what a little thing
From Memory’: silent fonnt can bring
The voice and form that were once so dear,

I found it this morning—thIs little shoe.

_ MISCELLANY.
, A Doubtful Chance.--\lVhen Dr.
Franklin’: mother-in-law discovered that
the young man had a hankering :for her
daughter, that good old lady said she
"did not know so well about giving I her
daughter to a printer; there were al-
r:eady_,two printing offices in the United
States, and she was not sure that the
country would support them. It was
plain that young Franklin would come
for support on the profits of a third, and
this was rather a doubtful chance!"

AT TWO DOLLARS PER
Four Chapters or a White Lie.
“How unfortunate! Mamma writes
me that she cannot find her emerald
bracelet. ’ Now I don’t dare tell her that
I have lost it, as you may remember I
did, returning from Mrs. Lucy’s party.
It is the last gift of my father, and very
valuable. I am sure I don’t know that
to do.”' And Lena Atley threw the let-
ter impatiently down. .
''-It’s well you are here in New York,’
replied her queenly cousin, shaking the
heavy curls from her shoulders, as she
looked up unwillingly from her book,
"what does aunt say '3” ~ .
"She wishes to know if by mistake I
could have brought it on, or if I remem-
ber when 1 last saw it, and where ?”
“Easily answered, little simpleton.-—
Just tell, in a general way, that you won-
der at her for thinking you so careless as
to bring it on here, and say that before
-you went to the party you saw it fasten-
ed to the toilet cushion in her room ;—
you know youdressed there.”
“But won’t that be a falsehood almost,”
urges Lena timidly.
“A flddletick, you little puritan ; where
is the lie ? You haven't brought it to New
York, have’ you ‘P You did see it on
your mothers toilet table, didn't you ?-—
Youzmust learn to distinguish" between a
prudent way of getting over a matter,
and sheer falsehood, you little country
bit of perfection." ‘
Lena seemed satisfied ; she could not
brook the sneer of her beautiful cousin,
nor could she bear the term pu rtanical,
which her fashionable New York rela-
tive styled her acts of conscience. The
letter was written, sealed, and sent ;——
but that night, in the midst of splendid
throngs, Lena’s heart beat with shame
for the deed at which conscience rebel-
led.
CHAPTER. II.
"Mary, come here ; I want to see
you alone a moment,” and Mrs. Atley
entered her dressing room, followed by
her handsome, innocent-looking cham-
ber-maid.
"Mary, I have lost my emerald brace-
let," she said firmly, when she had seat-
ed herself. "I want to know if you re-
member sceing it 3”
Mary turned pale; she was extremely
ly timid, and the thought that she might
be even suspected, frightened her excee-
dingly.
When she answered her voice trem-
bled, “Indeed, ma’am, I don’t think I
have seen it at all.”
"But Mary,” and the tone grew stern-
er. "Lena writes that the last time she
saw it, it‘ was in this room, on last Wed-
nesdayx week. That night I left you
here all alone. I am positive that no one
but yourself has since been in. I missed
it that very night—tell me if you have in-
ken it, find it, return it to me, and I will
forgive you.”
“Oh! Mrs. Atley, indeed, indeed I
don’t know anything about it,” exclaim-
ed the girl beginning to wring her hands
with a look of terror; "I never was a
thief, my mother will tell you that. She
brought me up to the Sunday School and
good things. I’d sooner spill my heart’s
blood than touch it. 0! now indeed]
remember. It seems as if Miss Lena
had it ;" repeated the girl, trembling so
she could hardly stand upright. “I do
think; I believe I saw it on her arm ;—
yes, I am sure Miss Lena must -have ta-
ken it to wear to the party.”
“That is the coolest impudence I have
heard yet,” exclaimed Mrs. Atley, her
lips quivering with passion; “I might have
forgiven you had you been candid and told
the truth. But the charges you make
against my daughter——the soul of can-
dor itself-—places you entirely out of the
reach of my sympathy. I am astonished!
confounded at your deplicity, no less
than convinced by your (manner. No
honest girl would blush and stammer
and then turn pale, or turn her guilt up-
on another. I shall dismiss you if you do
not restore the bracelet. I heard you
speak of it; I saw you look at it that
evening; but the thought never entered
my mind that you would steal. If I do
not get the bracelet soon, very soon, I shall
write to William Herman, and do you
think he will marry you when he hears
that you have been suspected as a thief ?
You may take to-morrow to restore me
my property—you know I do as I say.”
_ With a check as white as any corpse.
and a wild light in her glazed eyes, Ma-
ry tottered from the room, felt her way
along the entry (for darkness seemed to.-
have fallen upon her) up the stair, into
her little chamber. There, falling head-
long on the floor, she laid in silent,
bitter agony. Her spirit was almost bro-
ken. Where now' were all her happy
dreams’! - Dashed like a temple by some
strong wind--their ruin choked up her
heart. The long sunny road was darken-
ed. The little cottage with its honey-
auckle, its garden, its fruit trees, struck
by pitiless lightning. Visions of officers
and jails, and witnesses. and disgrace,
floated before her.
For along time she laid there; but at
length, slowly rising, her brain heating
with a dull heavy throb, she clasped her
hands, and broke into the wildest grief.‘
"I'll never go home—it’ll kill mother-
Tlic little children shall never think that
they had a thief for a sister; and as for

Away in the dark night has that PO01‘
girl gone, the burden of suspicion crush-
ing her life Out. On, on she hurries, she
is fearful of the dark, she had nursed a
hundred idle little superstitions of ghosts
and fairies. Night. with its cloudy arms
welcome her now, and covers her inno-
cent shame from the sight of even inani-
mate things by the Wayside.
CHAPTER. 111.
“Mrs. Lucy’s compliments, ma’am,
and here is the bracelet Miss Lena wore.
She heard she had lost it, ma’am, but
hadn’t made no idea it was in her house
but it dropped between the cushions on
the sofa, she expects, and she’s very glad
she found it, ma’am, for Miss Lena felt
so bad.”
“That poor child,” was Mrs. Atley’s
first exclamation as she took the parcel
mechanically, and returning to her room
placed it upon her. toilet table; “I have
almost broken her heart, I have sent her
away despairingly; I shall never forgive
myself.”
And her own daughter deceived her
thus? The thought was death to her
fond hopes. She threw the bauble on
her dressing table; and sat down over-
whelmed with distress. Her first thought
was to write to Lena, her second to in-
form poor Mary by letter as soon as pos-
sible, and she had just seated herself for
the latter purpose, when a hurried knock
startled her, and a pale woman stood be-
fore her, exclaiming, with a startling
voice and manner.
“M15, Atley, Where have you sent my
child? For God’s sake where have you
sent my child? I heard nothing from
her; I came to see if she was sick, and
the servants tell me that she is gone—-
gone where P Tell me, or I shall
cra:/.y‘.”
Her distress was fearful, when she had
listened to Mrs. ALley’s broken sentence
of self-accusation.
“VVhere shall I go? IVhere shall I
find my poor child '? Oh, Mrs. Atley I--
I hold you responsible for the life of my
poor girl. And she had such a dread of
the jail-—and she hadn’t any courage -at
all 3 \Vliere shall I find my poor child '.’
Oh Mary! where are you ?
It is a fearful thing to charge the inno-I
cent unjustly, to listen not to the prayers
of the helpless, to judge with harshness
those who have none to plead their

"\Vhy Lelia you look like a ghost.-

The evil counsellor kept silent. She
dared not reply, when charged with tem-
ting her to wear the bracelet, and then
to cover her fault. In an hour Lena
was ready and on her way home. Ear-
ly next morning she was driving rapidly
through thick woods. The birds sang
as if they were singing the first jubilee
song of creation. Everything seemed
happy and holy, but that young heart.
She had reached within a mile of her
mother’s house, when a haggard face
passed close by the carriage. She knew
it. It was poor Mary’s lover; and dead-
ly faintness dimmed her vision, as on
looking back she saw him crouching for-
ward and beating his forehead, as if in
great agony and utter despair.
Other voices were heard, and tramp of
many feet. And they bore, near the car-
riage that slackened in speed as themourtl-

It was poor Mary! She hall perished
in the woods, a victim to angry suspicion
and a ‘~lla7‘mlcss w/cite lie.”

and was fearful that he would be to late

“VVhat are you loaded with,” said
the yankee. “Dlugs and medicines,’
said he. “VVe:ll I guess I’ll try to get

A Good One.
The New York Spirit of the Times
publishes the following “ good ’uii :”
About the time of the inauguration of
President Pierce, a gentleman named
Parker, belonging to Concord, joined in
the general rush to see the great ova-
tion. Our friend, who is an attorney of
some nose, has not been much of a
traveller, but is well aware that there
are such things as the swapping of um-
brellas and hats at big hotels. To guard
against the loss or exchange of his new
“tile,” Mr. P. got a printer to strike him
off a four-inch square card, upon which
locked outof the crown of his hat,
bold two-line pica :
ASA PARKER,
ATTORNEY AT LAW,
CONCORD, NEW Hsursnmrz.
in
There was ageneral rush at VVillard’s
on inauguration day—indeed there was a
perfect jam everywhere—and our friend
Parker found some difficulty getting
down to the dinner table along with some
of his own totvnsmen. The dinner was
a fine one, the champaigne delicious, and
after an hour’s sitting, the New Eng-
landers left the table in the nierriest mood
imaginable.
“ Now, fellows,” said Parker, as he
emerged from the dining-room——“every
one look out for his own hat; I’ve got
a mark on mine that nobody can mis-
take.”
But there was some sort of a mistake
somewhere, notwithstanding. It was
some time before Mr. Patker found his
hat at all, and even then he labored un-
der t‘ne,impression that it had grown a
trifle older since he went to dinner. But
the placard was in the crown, all right,
and “ Asa Parker, Attorney at Law,
Concord, New Hampshire,” stared him
in the face as he looked inside.
“ All right, fellows !” said Parker rai-
sing the tile to his gourd. “ Nothing
like making sure of things when you are
going into a crowd I My hat is safe
anyliow.”
But he only put the hat on the top of
his head, to find it entirely too small to go,
on.
“ W'lint’s the matter, Parker ?” enqui-
red one of the party, as the attorney at-
tempted to pull on the hat.
“Oh nothing,” responded Parker,
again Io-ll-zing into the hat——nothing—-
it’s all right, of course—“ Asa. Parker,
Attorney at Law, Concord, New Hamp.
shire,”~cei'tainly ; I knew it must be
my hat,” and again he attempted to pull
the hat on.
The party around could illy suppress
laughtet it the comical motions of the
embarra. '-‘ed lawyer, but he did not ap-
pear to i otice it, and industriously en-
deavorec to make the hat fit somehow.
In a fit of the most absolute bewilder-
ment, he at length turned to one of the
party, and presenting the hat, desired
him to tell what name was in it. The
man read “ Asa Parker, Attorney at Law
Concord, New Hampshire.”
“ All right——of course,” exclaimed
Parker, again attempting to pull on the
hat, only to his greater bewilderment.
“VVHI you have the kindness to tell
me who I am '3” said he, still more per-
plexed.
“Certainly,” said the man addressed ;
you are Asa Parker, Attorney at Law,
of Concord, New Hampshire.”
“ Of course,” said P. “ Darn it, I
knew it ” And he made one more trial
at the hat.
It would be very difficult to say
whether Mr. Parker knew himself from
“ a hole in the ground” about this junc-
turef he looked again into the hat and
read the inscription, and then at his
friends, who still preserved straight fa-
ces, and finally cauezl.
“ Gentlemen,” said P., with intense
gravity, “ if I am Asa Parker, Attorney
at Law, Concord, New Hampshire, and
this lint belongs to Asa Parker, Attorney
at Law, Concord, New Hampshire, all I
have to say, is that my head has swelled
deucedly since I went to dinner !”
It is not told who changed Mr. Pal‘-
ker’s card into somebody else’s hat.
A Lam’ PEDESTR1AN.—-All American
female called by the romantic name of
Mrs. Kate Irwine, has commenced at
Sheffield, in England, the ardous task Of
walking 800 miles in as many consecu-
tive hours for a bet (it is said) of £500.
The lady pedestrian is described to be
about 30 years of age, tall, and of rather
a prepossessing appearance. Her car-
tinge is remarkably erect. She wears
the bloumer costume—-—a straw hat, a
jacket of thin, blue material, a light vest,
with bri;__r,lit buttons, 21 tunic silk shirt and
light boots. She started for the first
mile at six o’clock in the evening, audac-
compllshed it in 12 1-9 minutes. The
average time of each mile varied from
12 1-9 to 13 minutes, which, for a we-
man, may be considered really wonderful,
