king "boys contented with home employ-
ments. Parents. will find the raising of
poultry a very~efl‘icucious means of hol-
dingback their sons from the street with
all itspernicious influences on their mor-
"sis. Considered in this respect, it is
-wor‘th‘all the money paid in its pursuit.
The question of profit need not here be
examined. ‘ ‘
The pursuit of strange varieties of
fowl: has become a perfect mania. both
in this country and in England. It has
led to as wild purchases as ever the Mo-
rris hmllicaulu: did. It is a pretty
play thing,-but care should be taken.
lest, in ft: excesses, it equal the Tulipo-
uiania of Holland, where whole estates
were given for a single bulb.
iinost all the kinds now so eagerly
sought for are but abnormal’: varieties of
the original Galtu: domesticus. Natu-
ralists have been unable to trace the
original stock of the domestic fowl. It
came from India, without doubt. and the
Shanghae and Malay races may be the
original types. But the fowl of the barn
I yard has been so crossed by many varie-
ties that its poniiection with these two
races cannot now be well made out.-
Sir William Jardine agrees with Tem-
miuck in supposing the Gallu: gigan-
toil: and Gallus Bankii.-a as the origin
of the modern fowl.
Some of the peculiar varieties deserve
notice. The Poland or Top-Imot varie-
ty-are much sought for, from the singu-
lar markings. The most common, as
wellias most beautiful, are those entire-
ly. black. except the large white crown
on the head. This is not merely an as-
semblage of feathers; In the full blood-
edfowls, there is a large fleshy cushion
on the head. behind the comb "which
pushes the feathers up over the eyes,
From graves" forgotten stretch their dusty hands Rendering them blind to dange" ‘behii"d'
They are good layers. ‘but are stupid
about-making their own nests, some
times laying on the ground or the barn
"floor, and seldom showing any disposi-
-tion to set. Their cross with the com-
" ‘man fowl makes large chickens, with
' dark coleredflesh.
A variety of long standing has been
the Mufied, which has no peculiar
marks to separate it from the common
fowl; exdept the mass of whiskers that
covcritr throat.
The Tail less or Persian variety are
entirely deficient in the tail, not only in
the feathers, but in the fleshy ‘organ it-
self. Of course they make but poo,
steengc when they attempt to fly. They
are good layers. but their eggs are more
. apt to be nddle than those of any other
variety. They have no particular colo-
ring-to mark them. Across between
them and the common fowl, produces
- sometimes the development of only half
.-; -of the tail, and makes a singular varie-
ty. L ‘
'1-‘»he‘Darlcing Fowl, so ca_lled from
being bred ‘the most in the neighborhood
of Dorking. Surry. in England, is an ex-
cellent variety. They breed well
among themselves, whether they mix
well with other races we cannot tell.-
Thc books on the subject say that in En-
gland they reach, sometimes, the weight
of fourteen pounds. Their eggs are the
best for the breakfast table.
The Siberian Fowl, with long tufts
of feathers springing from the lowest
jaws and hangingdown; and the Bar-
" bury Fatal, of apaie dun color, ..with
‘large neck feathers, we ‘have never
* seen. '
The Blue Game Fowl, is not a profi-
table fowl to keep of itself. The hen’:
-a‘re7shy and seek for strange places to
make their nests, but they take care of
their chickens with great solicitude.—
“Mixed in with the common red fowl,
this variety makes beautiful chickens,
but ‘the young cocks will keep the poul-
try ‘yard in an uproar all the while.
The more fashionable varieties of the
Shangliae, Cochin‘ Cliina, Chittagong,
,aiid'Malay fowls have excited more at-
tention lately than others. They furnish
rtlie beptj types of the original Gallus gi-
gantcur that we now have. Most of
them-I-.ie good layers and grow to an i.n-
mense size. Our experience of the Ma-
lays-of t-hedai-_k_ brown kind is that their
flesh is not as good as that of other vari-
‘eties, and that they occupy a long while
in fatteiiing. For capoiiizing they are
the kiiid. ' The Chittagong is con-
sidered as the true Gallus giganleus.
Ii;-. colors vary. "The Sliangliaes come
ptlfgom the nortli of China and are distin-
"guished from tho Cochin China fowls

feathers on the legs, and the peculiar
folding up of the wings distinguish the

“Dulce, will you go to the mas'que_rad_e
ballto-night .9” said I to my lesser ‘half,
on a bright evening. during the. gayest
part of the “carnival season.” _ I
" No, my armor,” answered she; "I
am ill this evening; don't go out to-day,
but stay by my side, and let your cheer-
ing presence save a doctor’; fee.”
" Madame, you know that I have
made up my mind to go out in my new
cabelloi-o’s dress : you are not very ill;
and I shall be dull company for you, if
disappointment holds a berth in my my"
mind. You had better consent to my
going; I will return early.”
" Do as you please, sir," she respond-
ed, poutingly ; " But if you neglect me
thus in the first year of our marriage,
how shall I be treated when Time's shad-
ow shall darken my brow and dim the
light of _my eyes; when my spirits shall
droop and my beauty fade before the
wintry frosts of age?” '
To shorten my yarn, reader, I rigged
myself and went to the ball, my heart
beating a “ conscience tattoo” against its
casing all the way; for well I marked
the soft reproach which myiwife’s full
dark eye‘ spoke when I left her side.
Having arrived at the ball room. I
mingled with gay maskers,‘ listened to the
music, and in the sparkling wine glass
sought for excitement; yet that perpetu-
al drum-stick of conscience kept thump-
ing against the parchment head of reflec-'
tion, and I could not feel happy. Dres-
sed as attractively as possible, I sought
and danced with the fairest maidens in
the throng; yet still, Thought, that net-
tie in Life’s garden, kept Joy in adistant
offing, and pleasure far in my wake.
I was about to give up the chase for
enjoyment, and had dutifully made up
my mind to return home and moor my-
self alongside of my little wife, when a
fair hand was laid gently upon my arm,
and a whisper to retire a little from the
crowd. The hand was delicate, and
seemed smaller even than my wife’: and
the taper fingers were encircled by rings
of rare value, such as could oiilybe worn
by the iich and titled. The lady was
closely veiled in black; yet I caught one
glimpse of eye light through the thick
crape. In the biacléness of a night storm
I have seen the clouds for a moment
open and permit a star to glance with
supernatural brightness down on the ag-
itated ocean; and even so fellthat glance
on me. The vote was one of those
which, when it falls upon the ear, vi.
brates along every nerve until it reaches
the heart strings, where it rc.echoes, till
Memory “catches the tune," and too‘
truly for it ever to pass from her grasp,
I followed the stranger's invitation ;—
and as I gazed on the fair form which
flitted before me, I forgot my little inva‘
lid at home. The " mask” was but lit-
tle if any larger than my wife; yet there
was a fumes: and elegance of figure, a
grace and voluptuousness of motion in
the former, which I had never observed
in the latter. ’My.wife ‘had beautifully
soft, glossy curls of jet, but they could
never compare with the black tresscs of
twining silk, which hung nearly to-the
feet of my strange charmer. When we
had got clear of the throng, she again
spoke: _
“ Are you a gentleman—-one upon
whom a lady may in all honor depend?"
I answered, that to the best of my
knowledge and belief, I was, and thought
I might be depended upon. -- -
" \Vould you risk your own life, or
destroy that of anotlier,~fo_r a lady if her
honor required and her love \vould;re-
ward the act ?” .
" For one so fair, so angelic as yourself
I would risk more than life !". A ,
A shudder seemedflto pasathroiigh her
form ; her little feet. stamped the tassel-
ed floor iinpatiently; her fingers were
clasped together until they were blood-
less, as she continued: _‘
" Have you ever loved?”
“ I may have felt a school boy’s pas-
sion,” I replied, with assumed indiffer-
ence. . ' '
" Then you are not married '."’ ,
"I have been," was my reply. ' Even:
sodeceiifuris man; even so is women
often lost; for while he pours forth his
flattering tale, she" listens; listening she
loves—loving, she is lost. _
Again she sh awed marks of impatience
and excitement, as if some great trouble
rested on her mind. This I pressed her
to reveal to me, offering every aid in my
power to defend her, even to avenge past
wrong. I I besought her to have confi-
dence in my affection, new fledged as it
was, and to test its strength, evenas she
might direct.‘ “She falterezl, liesitatedfor
a moment, and then requesting‘ me to
await her return, hastily left the ball‘
room. ' "
" Now,” thought I, “ here is a scrape
audwith a vel|0W Iii-'|~ --‘"'«~“—-R05‘?-'~ '“'"““‘-"""“"‘ "‘”""""‘
Perhaps she may be some beautiful siren
who knowing my Jvcakness, where the
fair sex is concerned, has laid -a trap to
inveiglc and rob, porhlpoto-murder me!
But I am armed; why _ should , Ifear ‘l’?
'' I began also to think of my-poor invalid
wife ;* and. niece‘ -iiiougiiis-Eoiipied with
my. fear of betrayal, by the aid of a little
more solitude, would have conquered inc,
and sent me home; but at this critical
moment, the “mark” returned, bearing
in her hands. a heavy black veil. She
beckoned me to follow her into a neigh-
boring street, where,’ in a moment, we
stood beside I¢lU¢é¢|1l’t8lncd= volante,
into which she sprung, I -followed -her.-
Sho immediately enveloped my _ head in
the veil which she had brought, caution-
ing me on my life not to attempt ‘to re-
move it, unless at her request.
The carriage started off withspced;
indeed, the driver seemed to be urging
his bones to a rapid gallop. Our road
was long; for even at this speed we must
have ridden for two hours, some of the
time over rough rocky ‘roads, and then
along smoother ways, when at _la_stthe
panting. animals were brought to a"sta'nd.
Immediately thereafter I heard a crea-
king noisc, as if a. port cullis was sudden-
ly raised,.oi' some old gate" swung back
on its hinges. ‘ " ‘
" Speak not a word, whatever you may
hear; attempt not to raise the veil, or
your life and mine may be the forfeit !”
whispered my fair guide; and while she
spoke I felt ‘she trembled from ’ head. to.
foot. I Bet hand was cold as ice, and her.
impetuous voice stiflled and husky. Be-
fore we advanced from the carriage, she
‘made me vow by all the saints in heaven
never to reveal -what I might do or see,
in that night's adventure. _
She then led me cautiouslyon. appar-
ently through a large garden, for the cool
night breeze bore the perfume of orange,
citron, pink. lemon and spice blossoms to
my cheek. We soon arrived’ at another
door,‘ which creaked rustiiy as it opened
before-us ; ‘-and then our way seemed-up
a winding stone stair-case, through a pas.
sage so still, solemnly silent, that it even
echoed the light foot-fall of my compan-
’ paniou, while my own heavy tread rang.
like groans in ad cavern, through the still
damp air. _. , . . -. . »
Until now. the_la,_dy. had not _rpoken
but, as we had arrived at the top of the
stairs, and passed into a warmer atmos-
phere,she whispered that the hour to
test my courage-and love had arrived.-
We. stepped across a, soft carpet, and she
seated me on I yielding cushion. I could
soc nothing through the thick veil which
she had thrown over my face. yet a. kind
of blushncu in the darkness before me-
convinced me that I was in a lighted
room. No sound could I hear, save‘ the
suppressed breathing of my trembling
companion, and the beating of my own
heart. After remaining for a moment on
the ottoman, which shock from her ner-
vousness, she again addressed me *2
You are armed‘ with pistol and dag-
ger?” 1,. ,
" I am,” said,I, inwardlypraying that;
I might have no occasion to use them.—-
" You will please give me those weap-
