An Amuiine Story. That "they who dance must pay the piper," is a sayirg well illustrated in the following anecdoto, sent to us by a friend for preservation in thi Drawer. t;Ii may not be new," he lays, "wlere the parties are known for the Blory has been tuld in print before, by one who was at cne time a resident of the county where the circumstances occurred but it will be new to the great majority of your readers.-" Sam happened to arrive at the pleasant Tillage of S , ot mild autumn eve ning, and "put up" at its only tavern; and a3 ha entered he heard "music and dancing in an upper chamber." The landlord, who was an old acquaintance, told him that a ball was going on in the hall above. "Come, Sam, go up; there'll bo fun and good music." "Can't do it," aid Sam, "havn't the trimmings; (he was a hatter and knew the value of trimming,) look at my shirt. 'TtfOuldn't do." "Never mind that," said his friend, "I can give you a ahirt of my own," and, stepping into an adjourning room, he brought out a shirt big enough for Daniel Lambert. Holding it up, he aa'.d: "There, now, U a comfortable, roomy shirt for you." "Oh, that won't do I should lese myself In it entirely." "Well," said the good-natured Boniface, 'I gues, after all, I can do better for you. One of the girla in the kitchen is ironing some shirtd for the hoarders, and I can get you one that will fit, any how; jest you hold on." lie presently reappeared, with a nice skirt, of quite another pattern, into which, having thrust himself, in an adjacent bed-room, he made a hasty toilet, and entered the ballroom. Being young and good-looking, he found &3 many partners ea he wanted, and had a selection from the prettiest girls in the room. The Other rustic beaux and homely belles "didn't seem to like it" much. The jealous lover went so far as to say: "I'll cut the comb of that conceited cock mighty quick, if he don't mind hia eye!" Meanwhile Sam felt that he was the observed of all observers, and his pride was not a little elated. Presently there came the toot! toot! of an old-fashioned stage-horn in the distance The coach lumbered up to the inn; the driver threw out the mail, and went into the bar-room, it being his stopping place it the Inn for the night. "Won't you go up stairs and join the dancers? asked the landlord; "they're having a great time np there; don't yoa hear the fiddle, and the floor a-trembling?" In those days stage-drivers were of the dost "popular class of the community; and our hero, knowing this, readily consented. lie called to the maid for his clean shirt. She came in with the answer that the landlord had lent it to Sam to dance in tonight, not knowing, or not thinking, that the stage-driver would "want to use it that night." Hers was a "pretty kettle of fish!" his oniy clean "sark" loaned to a stranger to take his lace in the ball-room, to which the landord had just invited him! lie was "tearing mad," and after a few observations, which were rather more nervous than elegant, he entered the ball-room, his face flushed, and his voico somewhat husky with passion, and strode into the middle of the hall. The music stopped, and the driver broke the the ensuing silence wilh the sudden question: "Is there a man of the name of Sam here? - ' .1 "That's me!" said Sam. stepping forward,
evidently expecting some new evidence of
his sudden popularity. "Oh! you are Sam , then, are you?" Ym, and what do you want with me?" "Nothin' in partick'Ier, only when yon get through with that shirt of mine that you've got on your back, and are ntruttin' round in, I'd lust thank you to leave it at the bar!"
A loud laugh followed this exposure; the
Cock's comb was cnt; nis leathers drooped;
and amidst much cackling he vanished from
the "gay and festive scene." Harper's Mag asine Carious Fact.
Recently we published a paragraph from
an Alabama paper, stating that a slave of Mr.
John II. Hundley had three children at
birth, two of whom were black and one white. The fact coming to the knowledge
of our scientific townsman, Peter A. Browne, Esq., who has keen making many interesting researches and Investigations into the different characteristics of hair and wool, induced him to address the owner of the slave, with
a view of obtaining a specimen of the pilous
covering of the Leads of the children. Mr.
1L politely complied with his wish, and sent him specimens of the father's and mother's
hair, and of the two black children, and also
a specimen of that of the white child. The result of Mr. Browne's investigation estab
lished the curious fact that the white child
b a black Albino, its pile being just as much
wool the characteristic of the negro as that of the two black children, who are pure negroes from a pure negro father and mother. We have here the solution of a phenomenon
which has sometimes confounded the physi
cian, and which he has been disposed to ex
plain by the presumption of intercourse with
both Trhite and black, on the part of the mother. In some instances, this presump
tion may be correct, but the practical utility
of Mr. Browne's investigation is, that doubt
in such cases may be settled detenninately by
an examination of the pile. Wool and hair
are certain distinct characteristics of different
species of the human race, andf nterchanged
between such species eeneratively is as per
manently and distinctly marked in the pile as any other characteristic feature in the cross
ing of breeds. The fact is important, not only in determi
cing physiological questions which frequent
ly arise, medically and legally, but it is of
the deepest interest to the agriculturist. It
brings the subject of wool-gro wing within the
- domains of science, and enables the farmer to ', produce a growth of wool with as much certainty of its quality as of any other crop which
he cultivates. The intelligent labors of sci
ence in the investigation of physical laws always result in benefit to mankind, and those
who devote their time and talents to such discoveries are the real philanthropists of the
race. Ignorance sometimes raises a laugh ai
the expense of the natural philosopher, because of the teeming insignificance of the objects which engross his attention; but every
fact discovered in science is an addition to the sum of real knowledge available to man, and promotive often of the very highest interests
of. the human race.
The woman who is the mother of these
children has given birth to fourteen children
five of which are white, all we suppose Albi
cos, and nine black. She had twin once, both of whom were black. The woman and her husband are loth of the same color, which
is quite dark. They are both pure Africans,
Some of the children are blacker than the
parent, but the white ones are as perfectly white as any of the Caucassian race. The phenom enon of an Albino we believe is referred by physiologists to a diseased condition of the individual, by which the person is deprived of the coloring matter of the skin and hair. Exoxtsa vs. Americas Girls. The English girl spends more than one-half of her waking hours in physical amusements, which tend to invigorate, and develop, and ripen the bodily powers. She driven, walks, rides, rows upon the water, runs, dances, sings, plays, jumps the rope, throws the ball, hurls the quoit, draws the bow, keeps np the shuttlelock and all this, without having forever pressed upon her mind that she is thereby wasting her time. She does this every day, until it becomes a habit which she will follow up through life. Her frame, as a natural consequence, is larger, her muscular system better developed, her nervous system in better subordination, her strength more enduring and the whole tone of her mind healthier.
f'ashiouablca at Northern Watering l'lacca. A correspondent of ouo of tko New York city exchanges draws quite an interesting picture of fashionable life at S-iratog. If it be true th.it the circumference of a fishionablt dressed woman there is about seven feet and a half, and of the ten thousand visitors said to be at that interesting locality, one-half be longs to the softer sex, Saratoga must be in a crowded condition. But for the fact that these hoeped petticoats are suspended on a peg at night, we think it would 1x3 a difficult task to furnish Bleeping accommodations for the ten thousand souls that are now drinking Congress water at that delectable region. The correspondent alluded to says : " The circumference of a fashionably dressed woman here is about seven feet and a half, and when two of these belles get to waltzing together they look like a large balloon inverted. The daily occupation of the fair creature begins with dressing in elaborate morning attire and promenading to the Springs, where she takes two or threo glasses of the water. Returning, she has a sjlphlike bteakfast then dresses for the drive. After the drive she takes an anti-prandial snooze or receives a snob or two. Then comes the work of dressing for dinner, for
which she appears, like lllikins in the song,
in "gallant array'' with all sorts of diamonds
and thin s. Dinner is at three, and fills ud
wo hours. Next comes riding, and in the
evening the fair flowers of creation dance to the music of Monk's Band ; or vagabondize bareheaded round about the streets of the village.
" Such is the dally life of the Saratoga
belle. She gets up a good many flirtations
and she likes it. Look at the splendid crea
ture in pink; she has already exhausted three
atzing men, and is now flirting with a
thin youth in the corner. lie is telling her
that he is off for Newport to-morrow, and
wauts a bit of her hair before he leaves.
She tries to look sorry, but is really thinking
whether he could give her a brown etone
front in a good street and ten thousand a
7.
" lhe daily lite of the snob at the springs
is about the same as that of the belles, if he
is a lady's snob. lie is her cavalier serviente,
and revolves around her hoops. He is treat
ed as she treats her lap-dog, and is thrown a smile with the same air that Fidele receives
a chicken bone. But it is the style among some snobs to call " these women a bore,
you know." These last named snobs play
billiards, smoke awful cigars, drive horses
which are bought, and the buyers sold at the same time, and otherwise spend their time in those healthy and invigorating sports
which makes the American snob so valuable
a member of society. The lady's sncb is
preferable to the " horse and billiard snob."
Chloroform in Poisosinq. The Roches
ter Democrat, of the 15th insL, records a Case
of accidental poisoning from striebnine, in
which chloroform was successfully applied to
relieve the terrible spasms of the patient
The person took four grains of strychnine in
mistake for another powder, and soon as the discovery of the mistake was made, an emetic
was given. Two large emetics, taken in quick
succession, failed to produce vomiting. The
patient was convulsed with the severest forms
of tetanic spasms. His jaws were firmly
ocked, and it was impossible to open his
mouth to administer remedies. The approach towards his mouth caused a recurrence of the
spasms, unioroiorm was applied, wnicn re
lieved the spasms in about three minutes, and
stopped them completely in ten minutes,
when a third powerful emetic was given. If
the chloroform application was remitted, the spasms instantly returned in full force ; so that it was found necessary to keep the patient constantly under the influence of the anesthetic In about ten minutes after the third emetic was taken, vomiting was produced. The patient was kept nuder the in
fluence of chloroform till the next morning. Durinz the time that the spasmodic action
was controlled by the chloroform, the system
had opportunity to throw off the poison that
had been taken in by the absorbents, and
when tb.'.t was effected, the patient was out
of danger. He had retained his conscious
ness during the whole of the period that he suffered from the effects of the poison.
("Thanks!" muttered our old bachelor friend, "no more women in heaven they can't get in. Their hoop are so broad they
will have to go the broad road. None of these
fashionables can ever crowd through the nar row gate."

The Grave of Steuben. About five miles from the village of Steu
ben, New York, and in the town of that
name, is the grave of Baron de S:euben. In a five-acre woodland, on a hill, and fenced in, so that the cattle cannot enter, quietly rest
the remains of the Prussian hero and patri
ot. The grave is in the middle Of the wood,
and was once covered by a monument a
plain slab, with the following simple inscrip
tion: "Major-General Frederick William Augustus, Baron de Steuben." We visited the
grave a few days sinco, and found the monu
ment tumbled down, and things going to ruin and decay. It was an unpleasant sight to stand by the grave of that great man, and
think how negligent our country had been of
her heroes. There in the wild woods, far from the city's crowd, and by the "fair forest
stream," reposed the remains of a gallant pa
triot, with nothing but a ruined mass of mortar and stones to mark his resting-place. Baron Steuben was aid-de-camp to the King of Prussia he was receiving a salary of ft 5.000 a year at the time of the revolu
tionary struggle his sympathies were enlisted in behalf of the infaut colony, and he
left his home and his situation to serve in the
American cause, and take the lead of our ar mies. He was an able general, and an expe
rienced tactician, and rendered invaluable ser
vice to our country. Soon after the close of
the war, Steuben retired to private life, and
for seven years endeavored in vain to prevail
on Congress to remunerate him Tor his servi ces. At . length he received a salary of $2,
500 a year, only half of that which he relinquished thirteen years before to risk all in her service. He located himself on the farm, and in the township where he died, given him by the State of New York. -. He cleared off sixty acres of land, erected a log house, and sat down for. the remainder of his life. With his trusty servants, and a few friend, who still clung to him with more than filial affection, he watched the current of bis years drift peacefully away, without a sigh for the splendors of royalty he had left behind him in the Old World. A tree near the spot where his dwelling stood was a favorite of his, and under that tree, in summer, he used to pass many of his hours. He expressed a wish to be buried, when he died, under the tree where he had so often rested while living. On the 25th day of November, 1797, he was struck with paralysis, and, lived but three days afterwards. He directed, just before his death, that be should be buried in his military cloak, with the star of honor, which he always wore, placed on his breast. His weeping servants and a few rustic neighbors formed the procession to his solitary place of burial; and there, in the still woods, ''with the military cloak
around him," and the star flashing on his
breast, they laid the old warrior down to rest;
he sleeps well beneath the soil he helped
to free.
His stormy career was over; and he who
had passed his life on the battle-field had not a nag to droop over the hearse, or a soldier to
discharge a farewell shot over his grave. A
nation seems to have blotted him out from its memory, and left him to die alone, forgot
ten, and unhonored. A "Republic may prove
ungrateful," and refuse to erect a monument
to the memory of tho departed patriot and
warrior, but tho people of the land which he helped to free will cherish his many virtues
with filial tenderness and affection. Rome

Magnetic Iron. A correspondent of the
New York Scientific American, wtitmg from Bloomfield, N. J., says that on a railway near that town, there is an uphill grade,
running north-west, of eighty or ninety feet to the mile, on which each of the individual
rails is a magnet, the upper end being t South iole, and the lower end a North pole
He presumes that on all inclined railway
grades the case is the same, no matter what
is the direction, or from what mine the iron
came, as there is a law of maznetism. that
all bars of iron become magnets the moment you raise them from a horizontal position. This magnetic law, he thinks, has not been . a a m
considered enougn on ooaru 01 vessels, in
relation to local attraction, and he adds, that
it has doubtless been the cause of their run aing on shore sometimes. - -
Docsticks Hears a popular Preacher. Things have changed. Before my hair turned gray with age and piety, clergy nun used to take their texts frou the Bible, and preach peace an J good will to men, women, and little girls. Our old minister whoso SunJay sermon chastised my Saturday's applestealing, didn't take a gunpowder text, and, under Aromatic Schnapps inspiration, preach a howitzer and vix-pounder sermon, having a submarine battery peroration, with a large invoice of revolvers and bowie knives thrown in by way of rhetorical grace. Ho used to think his duty was to keep his people from war and strife, and teach belligerent humans not to pull off their coats for a free fight every time anybody trod on their corns. But now-a-days a pastor must make sermons to draw big houses, and we have "star" sermonizera just as we have star actors, and star performing dogs at the Museum. Our city churches are built by joint stock congregations, in order to speculate by selling the pews so the minister must fill tho house and run up the price of stock in the tabernacle, or else he is not a good investment for tho?e careful christians who want to save their souls and turn an honest penny at the same time. Discourses on the ordinary duties of man to his neighbor and his Maker don't "draw," and hence we have sermons on the " Amiability of the Devil ;" " Satan, considered as a gentleman;" "Hell fire chemically analyze J ;" and "How to make fire proof garments for expiring sinners," and various oth;r subjects interesting to the community generally. They are advertised in big letters in the morning papers, that the minister may be popular, the house be filled, the pews sell, and the speculations turn out welt Music, too, of the most excruciatin?, scientific description, is employed to aid the scheme an orchestral organ, with full brass band resources, is purchased, and a gymnastic organist, who can play with his fingers and toes at tho same time, is hired to play selections from operas and popular concert
pieces to amuse the audience till the preaching commences. The choir is com posed of professional singers, generally engaged from the various theatres, who give little scientific concerts between tho prayer and the sermon, and who sing new-fangled hymns to elaborate music, while the organist smuggles in a few bars from the most popular polkas, and schottisches, as interludes between the verses. The congregation are respectfully solicited not to join in the hymn, as they would disconcert the opera singers, and prevent their exhibiting enough vocal gymnastics to earn their salaries. I recently attended the performance of the Rev. Blood and thunder Screecher, who is renowned for his prolonged shrieks for freedom, disunion, free Kansas, runaway darkies, Sharpe's rifles, bowie knives, bull-dogs, and a big muss generally. He preaches electioneering sermons, and it is said that he carries his pocket full of Fremont ballot?, and makes his people take a vote on the Presidential question every Sunday, to see that they are all "sound on the goose." It is also asserted that he spends his leisure hours firing at the iron man in the shooting gallery, and in throwing a tomahawk at a mark, occas:onally varying these delightful occupations, by taking boxing lessons, learning how to "gouge?' Missouri, taking long drinks of Aromatic Schnapps between times. Went to the church, which was arranged like a theatre, with tho best places for those who pay the most money. Instead of a pulpit, there was a stage for the ministers to perform on people came in droves seats were soon full then a huge pyramid of stools in one corner was attacked by six energetic and determined sextons, who speedily tore it to pieces, and scattered the fragments through the aisles for folks to sit on. Organist executed a grand Kansas battle-
piece in five sharps, with vocal imitations of the shrieks of the settlers, and the curses of
the border rucians. I hen tho minister came up through a trap door like the harlequin in the pantomime when the devil has got in
vitation for him he prayed along prayer in
his overcoat then he took off his overcoat and read a hymn, very quick metre, with a
very strong ckiorns then he sat down on his
overcoat and read his letters. The organist here made preparations to gyrate, he rolled up his Coat sleeves so as not to interfere with his fingers then be rolled np his pantaloons, so a3 not to trouble his toes ; then he unbuttoned his cravat, and loosened his vest at this instant a very mus cular man disappeared from the ranks in the gallery, vanished through a cubby hole, and was instantly lost in the anatomy of the organ then there was a great rattling in the bowels thereof, as if it couldn't digest the muscular man, but had a great deal of wind on its stomach.' - This was the preparation. Then the organist commenced a violent struggle with the key -board, as if he regarded the unfortunate organ as a fisticuff enemy, whom it would require his utmost strength and dexterity to overcome 60 ho went in he hammered him on the white keys, he belted him on the black ones, he punched him in the semitones, he kicked him in the
double bass, he put in a series of running
licks in his chromatic scale, he pelted aim in tha flats, he battered him in the sharps, he smote him in the high keys, he hit him in the low notes, then he grabbed both hands in his octaves and shook him until he squealed; then he ferociously jerked out the stops on
one side, as if he was pulling half his teeth
out of his head then he savagely jammed in
those on the other, as if he was knocking the rest of his grinders down his throat after three quarters of an hour, the left hand, which had been doing manful service in the lower suburbs, began to fail, and sent for a rc-in-forcement, whereupon the right hind, after
hitting the upper chord of Lr sharp a furious
dig to keep it quiet in the interval, scampered
to the rescue, only stopping b' the way to bestow upon the middle 0 a couple of punches
by way of a reminder then the player with
bath hands, both feet, and his knees, went at the poor instrument and belabored him so
unmercifully in the lower 1)113, that be lost
his wind, and cried " enough," in a roar ol
agony. This was the prelude.
Then the singing commenced; the opera
folks stood up to earn their money ; they
sang as if the musical scale bad been greased
on this occasion, and they were climbing for
a pig on the top of it ; they would go up a
note or two, and then sup back eac'i one
went one notch higher than the one before him, but fell back before he reached the prize, and his voice subsided into a discon
tented growl low down in his ribs. At last,
after five trials, each one of which ended in an attenuated squeak one female, with a
mouth like a hatchway, loosened her bonnet strings, made a desperate scream and went so
high that she finally got a firm bold of the oleaginous reward of merit, and bore it off in triumph then they all stopped.
This was the singing. Then the muscular man caiae out of the
bowels, with the perspiration dripping from coat tails as he hadn't auother suit handy,
he sat down in tho draught to dry.
This was the finale. Here the minister read a number of gratis advertisements for concerts and twenty-five cent pic nic then there was another singlehanded combat between tho organist and his old enemy, and some more greased pig vocalization by the thousand dollar cho r, after which, tbe "Star" preacher began to perform in earnest he read a text, and stuck to the subject for fifteen minutes giving his hearers "fits" about their shortcomings when the plate it passed then he gave a glowing description of the joys of Paradise, and by his eloquent words had got us so far into the spirit laud that we could almost hear the departed spirits blow their noses, when suddenly he cut short his high-flown piety, and began to talk politics and general news he spoke of the state of the stock markets, gave a notice of the new patent ballot-box, a review of tbe et:courag;.ng prospects of Fremont, the value of Sharpe's rilles, and the retail price of Schiedam Schnapps. Then he gave, with great gusto, a delightful account of some imaginary pleasant transactions in Kansas, whorein a couple of men were roasted alive in a burning log cabin, while their wives were compelled by the amiable border ruffians to superintend the cookery. Then he made some very good jokes, at which the
people laughed ; then he said something
about tbe "Union," which they applauded; 1
should have supposed myself ia a ratification
meeting, if tho men hadn't all their hats off, and there hadn't been so many womeu that their bonnets looked like a cherry orchard soon he pat in a word about " Buchaneers" and "Black Republicans," I thought then I was in a political mesting, sure, and expected every minute to hear No. 5' boys come down with three times three and a ""tiger" for "Beck and Breck." After this he grew more fraiitic about "bleeding Kansas," and talked so earnestly about Sharpe's rifles, that Iconeluded he had an agency and got a percentage on all he sold; he didn't make any remarks about Schnapps, and I didn't see any bottles, though I suppose there must have been a sample handy. He had now got his ministerial steam almost up to exploding point, and raved round his little platferm as if he was crazy, and wanted to get at somebody. He mixed np things ; christian love and piety ; Fremont republican principles; gunpowder as a moral agent, and medicated gin as a means of grace, niggers, slave whips, charity, brotherly affection, underground railroad, disunion, flowers, little children, voting, ballot-boxes, polls, White House, President and Know Nothings; ending up with a loud exhortation for free speech, free soil, and Fremont, with a strong hint that he wanted them to contribute pretty liberally when the deacon came round with the plates, as the money was needed to circulate republican documents in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. This wa3 the preaching. Then ho took a two minutes rest, and maie a prayer containing a summary of th3 political news for the week then he put on his overcoat and disappeared through tho trap-door. The organist played the people out with a grand march, iu which a trumpet solo was very conspicuous, and added a few dancing tunes by way of keeping the Sunday school children quiet I went home, trying to mentally digest the politico religious hash I had listened to, and endeavored to decide whether there was too
much politics for the piety, or too little piety
for the politics. Come to the conclusion that,
if a minister wants to make a business of
electioneering, he ought to stump the State for his favorite candidates, and charge his
expenses to tho Central Committee. Thoughtfully, Q. K. Philander Doesticks, P. B.
The Gambler's Aroused. The following1 narrative a true one de
scribes a scene that actually took place not
many vears since in a country village in the
State of Maine: One evening in the month of December, 1831, a number of townsmen had assembled
at tho store of a Mr. Putnam to talk over
"matters and thiDgs," smoke, drink, and, in short, to do anv thing to "kill time." :
Three hours had thus passed away. They had laughed, and talked, and drank, and chatted, and had a good time generally; so that at about the usual hour of shutting up shop each of tho party felt particularly firstrate. "Come," said Charles Hatch one' of the company "let's all liquor, and then have a game of high -low-jack!'' "So I sny," exclaimed another, ''who's got the cards?" "Fetch on your koerds," drawled out a third, his eyes half closed, through the effect of the liquor he had drank. After drinking all around, an old pine table was drawn up before the fireplace, where burned brightly a large fire of hemlock logs, which would snap and crackle throwing large live coals out upon the hearth. All drew np around the table, seating themselves on whatever came handiest. Four of them had rolled up to the table some kegs, which, from their weight, were supposed to contain nails. "Now," said Hatch, "how shall we play every one for himself?' "No, have partners," growled one man. "No, hanged if I'll play so," shouted the former; bringing his fist down upon the table, knocking one candle out of the stick, and another upon the floor.
"Come, come," said Hatch, "no quarreling
all who say for having partners, stand up. Three arose.
"Now all who say each one for himself,
stand up,"
You see. Barclay." said Hatch, "the raa
jorityare against you. Come, will you play?"
"Well, as I don't want to be on the oppo
nte side, I'll play," said Barclay, somewhat
cooled down,
Mr. Putnam was not in the store that even
mg, and tne cierK wno was dusv uenina me
counter had taken very little notice of the proceedings. About half-past ten o'clock
Mr. Putnam thought he would step over to
the store and see that everything was safe.
As he went in he walked np to the fire.
When within a few stops of where the men
were sitting he started back in horror. Be
fore him sat seven raen. half crazy with
drink and the excitement of playing cards
There they were, within a few fee of the Are
inst described, and lour or them seated on
kens of powder.
Barclay who was a very heavy rran
had pressed in the head of the keg on which
ho sat, bursting the top hoop, and pressing the powder out through the chinks. By the
continued motion of their feet, the powder
had become spread about the floor, and now
covered a space of two feet all around them
Mr. Putnam's first movement was toward the door, but recovering himself, he walked
up toward the fire. Should either of them attcmntto rise, he thought, and scatter a few grains a little further into the fireplace where
lay a large quantity of live coals!
At that moment Hatch looked up, and see
ing Mr. Putnam with his face deadly pale
sazing into the fire, exclaimed, "Putnam
what ails you?" and at the same time made
a motion to rue. "Gentlemen, do not rise," said Mr. Tutnam, "lour of you sit on kegs of powder it is scattered all around you one movement might send you all into eternity. There are two buckets of water behind the bar. But keep your seats for one minute, and yon are saved move, and you aro dead in en I"
A Leap-Year Incideut in. Aurora) Illinois. The other evening, as my friend Albeit and I sat in my study, with our heels elevated on the backs of two chairs, and two glorious Ha vannas elevated from our lips, looking around through the cloud of smoke, espied the eveal'ig paper lying on the table, which Tom, in h;s usual quiet m inner, had deposited there. Without in tho least disturbing our cogitations, I picked it up and began languidly to doze over its columns, when my eye alighted on the following paragraph which, old bachelor-like, I felt qnite enough interest in to read aloud to my companion : "Take the Lot. The young ladies of Aurora, Illinois, have resolved that if they didn't get married this year leap year some boilv would be to bame. Tho senior class in William's College have sent a communication to the Aurora paper offering to take the lot. They say that now, having been four years under college discipline, exiled from almost all intercourse with the fac similes of Adam's rib, we think, with Shakspeara, that there is 'a tied in the affairs of men,' and that tho time for that knot has come to us." No sooner had I finished than Albert, with a merry chuckle nobody can chuckle like him ; when he chuckles ho chuckles all over tapped me on the shoulder and exclaimed : "By Jupiter ! Seth, thereby hangs tale !" "Ah, ha!" said L "Would yoH like to hear it ?" "Of course, if there is any end to it, and any point to the end." "Well, there are both, according to my way of thinking. Anj how, with permission, I'll tell tba yarn. Of course you know where Aurora is one of the smartest towns in all the West? It lies just below Geneva, on the
Fox River, and is in Kano county. Whether
the county was named after or for the North Pole Kane, and the town called Aurora be
cause the Aurora Borealis shines brighter at
said pole than anywhere else, is a question
that soma future nomenclators may discuss
but one little item you may bet your life on they raise the prettiest girls that ever made a
fellow's mouth water." "How do you know?'

Good Sewi for the Jar mar. It is not a month since we congratulated the country on the resut of another gloriour strain harvest throughout the Union. It wa then predicted that France and England would again have ex'enfcive recourse to our overflowing grancries, as in 1855, although theirown harvest might promise fair. The so counts received by the Persia yesterday bring the evidences of this demand much earlier than we had anticipated, and, although fair allowance should still be made for the sudden and frequent changes in the English harvest weather, which in tho end may prove favorable to an averago yield, there is scarcely a remaining doubt that the general supply throughout Europe will fall short of the wants and ability of the people to consume good bread, unles the United States be largely drawn Uou, This remark applies more particularly to wheat and flour. j Thero is another feature in the present news of the highest importance to the American farmer, and to our railroad lines employed in the transportation of breadstuffs. The potato disease has re-appeared in Ireland and in some districts of England, and, thj fact having been made known in Liverpool, an immediate rise occurred in Indian corn, of which the United States enjoy almost the exexclusive supply to the British ports. . As a substitute for the potato it was found of the utmost importance during tho Irish famine of 1847, and, since then, has not only grown in favor for bread, but in England for cattle feed also. As this is the first news of the injury to the potato, it will, of course, be acted upon with some degree of caution until further accounts of tho arrest or progress of the disease. The chances are, however, that in England, where the sensitiveness on the food supply is extreme, the present advance on Indian corn will be well supported until all apprehensions shall have been completely removed. And this will give our farmers a good price for an important staule. and our

I baa tot a lot time been troubled with tu leaking about the chimney and scuttle, and had tried various ways to remedy U, but without success. Mr. West applied his Cemeut and completely remedied the defects, o that II ha never leaked since, and l all appearance, the work l perfect to day as tha day It wa put on. AUr Mr. West got through with the job, there w a atcall quantity of the Cement Ictl In a UUh which I threw out oa tba water-stone which convey the water from the spont across the side-walk: I have lately examined It with a hammer and Hod It as bard aa the .tonetuwlf.

Discoveries of tub Present Cl'NTCBT. Some of the most wonderful results of human intellect has been witnessed in the last fifty years. It is remarkable how the mind of the world has run into scientific investigation and what achievements it has effected in that short period : Fulton launched the first steamer in 1807 ; now there aro three thousand steamboats traversing the waters of America only.
In 182d tho first railroad was put in operation in Massachusetts. In 1800 there was not a single railroad in the world. In the United States alone there are now 18,797 miles
of railroad, costing 285,000,000 to build,
and about 22,000 miles of railroad in Europe. The electric telegraph had its beginning in 1845. The electric magnet was discovered in 1812, and eleclrotyping is a still later invention. Hoe's printing press, capable of printing 20,000 copies an hour, is a very recent discovery. (Jas light was unknown in 1800; now every city and town of any pretense is lighted with gas, and we have the announcement ol a still greater discovery, by which light, heat, motive power, may all be produced from water, with scarcely any cost. Daguerre communicated to the world his beautiful invention in 1830. Gun cotton and chloroform are discoveries but a few years old. Astronomy has added a number of new planets to the solar system.'
