Deacon Bancroft's as you go along to

nee me in the course of the morning or

Duncan Bancroft was a little surprised
at tho summons. However, about 11
o'clock: ho called in, , The widow had got
on the dinner, and hud leisure to sit
down. She appeared a little embar
rassed. !
Henry told mo that you would like
to seo ine, be commenced.
'Yes, Deacon Bancroft. I do, but I nm

"Suppose," paid tho widow, casting
down her yes, "mind, I nm only sup
posing a case suppose a person nhouhl
find a pot full of gold pieces in their
cellar, wouid tho law huvo a right to
touch it, or would it belong to them?" .
Tho Deacon pricked up Iii cars
'A pot of gold piec es, w idow? Why.
nnquestionabl', the law. would have
nothing to d with it." .
'And the one who had formerly own
ed tho house couldn't come forward and
claim it, could ho, Deacon?" inquired
tho widow further, with apparent anx
ietr. w
-No, madam, unquestionably not.
When tho house wjoi disposed of, every
thing went with it.".
"I am glad to hear it, Deacon. You
won't think -fange of the question, but
it happened to occur i n my mind, and
I thought I would liko to have it sat
isfied." Certainly widow, certainly," said the
Deacon abstracto lly.
'And, Deacon, us j-ou aro here, I hope
you will flop to dinner with u. It will
be ready punctually at twelve?"
"Well, no," Kiid tho Deacon. rV-ng;

-At nny rate. Deacon." aid the wid

the oven, "yon von't object tn taking a

On the n xt occasion of this kind, tho
Widow Well sent over to know if he
would carrv her over with him, as she

Tho request wa readily rn-corded
Arrived iu the village, Mrs. Wells re
quested to bo pot down nt tho bank.
Ah: ha! thought tho Deacon, "that
means something."
IIo said nothing, however, but deter
mined to como back, and find out, as tie
von Id readily from tho cashier, what bu
sines he had with tho bank.
Tho widow tripped into tho oßlee,
pretending to look nonchalent.
"Can yottgivo me small bills for a five
dollar gold piece: she asked.
-With pleasnr," was tho reply.
Bv the way," said she, "tho bank is

"Yes, madam, wo are receiving them

widow, hurriedly; "I onU- aked for cu

"Five per cent, madam."

Deacon.

idicato that its proba-
eqtial to' -five thousand
old pieco which she had
exchtnged at the bank appeared to
confirm this story.
I rather think, said tho Deacon,
complacently,"! can see into a mill
stone about as far as most people" a
statement tho literal truth of which 1
defy ain ono to question; though, as to
the pi t mo iact ot people s being able to
sec into a mill-tone at all, doubts have
now and then introduced -themselves
upon my mind. .
Isext ounda tho Si tdow Wens ap
peared at a church in a new nnd styl

remarks as these:
"How much vanity some people have
to be sure! . , .
'Hdw nJtrln "that-has to keep
boarders font living can afford to dash
nit wilh euch a bonnot, is moro than
can tell! I should think sho was old
enough to know better."
This las, remark was mndoby a lady
just six months youner than the wid
ow, whose attempts to catch a husband
had hitherto proved unavailing.
"I suppose, continued the same lady,
"she's tid ing to catch a second husband
with her fincr Before. I would con
descend to sieh means, I'd I'd drown

in thir las' amiable speech the young
lady had unwitting hit upon the true
motive. The widow was intent upoin
catching Deacon Bancroft,, and sho in

TUoV-
and tho di
had euleulato'l shrewdly,
ay had the cticct sintici-
paten.
a
ilondnv nftcrnoon, Deacon Bancroft
found an errand that called him over to
the widow's. It chanced lo be about
tea time. IlT wa importuned t stay
at lea. and, wmcwhat to his surprise,
actually did.
1 ho politic widow, who knew the
deacon's weak point, brought on ono ol
a-ftier best minco piew, a fdic.o of which
her guest, partook of with zeal.
"ion II take another niece, I know,
said she pcrsuaaivoly.
Keally, I in ashamed, said tho dea
con, and ho passed his plate. -The fact
is, he saidu apologetically, "ynnr pies
uro so niccWfcwäou t- kniw where to
stop."
"Do von call these nice?" said the
widow, modest 13. "I only call them
common. I can mako mince pies when
I set out to, hut this timo I didn't have
us good luck a usual.
-I shouldn t want any better, said
tho deacon, emphatically.
-Then I hopo if you liko them, 3011 II
drop in to tea often. Wo ought to bo
moro neighborly, Deacon li in"roli.
Deacon Bancroft absented, and he
meant what ho said. Tho fact is the
deacon began to think that tho woman
was a very charming woman. Sho was
vcit coineh. and then alio was such an
excellent cook! Besides ho ho had no
doubt in hi
n mind that she was
worth a w
rable sum of money.
What objee

bort, accepted htm.
A month aftct wards site was installed
as mistress of tho deacon' largo house,
somewhat to tho surprise ot the village
people, who could not conceive how she
had brought him over.
homo weeks aftor tho ceremoii3, the
deacon ventured to inquire about the
pot of gold which bho had found in her
cellar.
Pot of gold!'' sho exclaimed in sur
prise. "I know of none.
But," said tho deacon, disconcerted,
"you know you nked mo about whether
tho law could claim it."
O, lor! deacon, I only asked from
curiosity.
"Ami was tTTiZ tho reason yow made
inquiries tit tho bank?"
Wh3 ecrtainl. What chocoutd it
have been?"
Tho deacon wont out to tho barn, nnd
for half an hour sat in silent meditation.
At the end of that timo ho ejaculate I us
a. consideration, ''after all, sho makes
good minco pies."
It gives me great pieasuro to stato that
o'union between tho widow and ilea-
tho1
con proved a reftf happy one, although
to tho end ot I
life, ho nover could

Smallage, thj primitive namo of this
plant is poison, growing in, marshy
grounds in Europo. Cultivation has
proved what can bo accomplished by
scientific gardening; time and 'atten
tion has deprived it of all deleterious
etrects. Celerj. tho namo by which it
is now so universal" known, has be
como a f'ashionablo appendage to the
table, and wo aro somewhat at a loss
whether to consider it under the caption
of culinary or esculent; indeed cither
would bo proper. Tho namo opium, is
derived from tho Celtic epon, alluding
to a watering placo where grown Qrd
ceolus means strong scented, y conspic
uous is. smallage or wild celei-3. The
flavour is doubtless to tho novico. un
accustomed to its use, unpleasant, there-
tore to do palatable it requires an arti
ficial tasto, which onco established cre
ates a desire for it. There aro several
varieties, whether from accident in cul
turü, isjnot to-our ptrpose. TJa white
and red salad-are those esteemed for the
tablo. Thoso plants' 'when prepared
are not only ornamontnl in rra.nishing
tho table but are relished with zest with
or without other accompaniments. ' Cut
ujTÄnd seasoned with chicken or veal,
makes a delightful salad. The turnip
rooted is mostly used for soups, and
when out of season, or for pea voyages
tho seeds aro used for that purpose as
they CMtitain a delightful aromatic
scent and flavour; no 'substituto could
bo moro readily- produced for such a
purpose.
Tho stalks of celery arc enolin-'
. r
wnen eaten raw through the fall and
winter:, indeed no table in tho' season
could bo considered complete without
either, as nn edible ' or for garnishing
utiles; ncuner is a garden complete
with its bed which reo u ire more trouble
than many vegetables, the pnr-exrellenee
of the plant will set aside all trouble for
its attainment.' Tho botanical species
extend to tho different varieties of
parsle3. Their qualities are so well
known to the community as to need no
trumpet to sound their fame.
To cultivate celery, the coeds should
be sown in February under crlass. and
watered in dry weather once or twice a
day until the plants aro up; when four
inches high, if too thick, they should
bo tinned out. Iu April beds should be
formed by digging a trench or trenches,
