A fmf.no of nine who had traveled t broach Glennany about ten years ago, reed to nc the following Strangs but true .-t 1 tv, which I nv lay before the readers of the 0 Idea ;: While 1 wis riding in the mail-coach which rma from Dresden to the Bavarian frontier, I became acquainted with an Englishman by the name of Baron Dale, who was trar tins through Europe for the pleasures ot sight-see ing. He WM will scquainted with the manners and i customs of the inhabitants of different countries: ;in.i as he had been in S :n i- rancis , he often spke to me about the . r. ... ; r ti i. tiipvoepeeta of Ca i forma, for I hail told him tint I Lad resided in that city since 1849.

Dning supper the Englishman r-poke about la beautifal seenery tarronnding the town, and ofL-red to conduct NtS on the -' rWhtg afternoon to an old U vrnna tower that staud upon a lii;h hill near by the river that divides the city atotwo jua! halves. I thankfully accepted his invitation. Had I known what an awful scene I had to pacs hrx.irh,, I would never have accom pan led him. " well, to make my story short, the Baron a n 1 I ascended the hill. Near the lower, we found a ws:ter of the Red ', Lwk'a Inn, who had a basket in his hand.

When I awoke I was lying upon the tftfrrl gtep, near the top of the first stairease. "Ah, you hare slept!" wore the first words that strack upon mv f;ar. I looked down, part of the lower steps were gone, showing only a black chasm, into which Ue feeble rays of theemdle could net penetrate. Near by the aperture stood the Barn, with fiendish delight depicted upon his face. Look at this can He, sir ! Do you see any.hinc unusual f 1 nodded mv head up and down my tongue Beemed to refine to utter the wora 'yes." I distinctly saw three black rings around the transparent wax-candle.

I Acain he mentioned the word " fly." vVhi could he mean? ! " first I have to get a seat I feel ' t.red," muttered he. Yet the tones ot his i voice came distinctly to my earc. He put his hands" into the chasm and drew from it a black, oblong box, ti! si ' look; d like a coffin, upon which he seated himself. The pistol ws within his reach, fori snv the glitter of the polished steel : barrel. He 'coked straight at me, and the licht of the candle shone fad upon his distorted face as he besran his narrative. "About two years ago I attended a grand reception in the king's palace in Munich. There I hrrsme'srqnsintrd with Eleanor, the daughter of a General, it U not necenanrv to describe her beauty, for you know Lr well." He paused. ' Impossible ! I never w.-v? ?1 Munich, . I don't know a tady by the name l:'-ncc!" interrupted he; "do not ..ier.tion her name. You know her well; that's infBcient i'o- the present. Now listen. I became htr slave; I followed hex everywhere; I askal her to many inc. She scorned my offer she loveel anOther. Hell and iuries! that other sat a poor miserable student. You know his name '. He paused and clenched hn hands I dared net to contra lict him; Ionly shook my bead in the negative. " Yes. you know him well. I sent one of my agents to htm with the offer of a large aum of mom J if he would leave Bavaria an 1 never write to her except wh.it I would dictate to him. He cornfolly refused my offer, and threw my agent out of the window. I caused the irrest of the student money vn do almost every thing. Tin- student was tried and sentenced to,ten years in the penitentiary. !Ie- l 4dlv refused to irive anv reason why he had thrown the agent out of the window, lie Baid that he only resented an insult. 14 A tew days before the time iroointed to reaSMMM the prisoner to thi peniU nti .- ry I sent another well-paid agent of mine b visit the convict. Prisi n divt and close confinement had tamed the rlery temper ot the student. He promised t.. wrue a letter to the General's daughter, relcasina her from her promise to be come his wife. Next day 1 had the letter iti my hand, and on the following evening the student mi free an 1 on hid way 10 parts unknown. My money had triumphed over priaim bars; gold had inelted the convict's iron fetters. M I caused the letter 1 1 be sent to her. "Five days alter I called and again asked her to become mv wife. She looked paj , she trembled, yet she give her con sent. The General had not the lenst ob jection to our union, for I wasa Baron, wa rich, and consequently aide and willing to pay his debts, iu winch (to use a common expression) he was stuck over head and e:rs.

The landlord of the Red Lion's Inn told me about B Roman tower I am very fond of relics of the past. Therefore I made up my mind to vi-dt the tower. My wife remained at the hotel She Baid she had a headache. " The view from the tower justified the praise of the landlord; it was mag niih'a at "On my return I found my wife with a bright color and smiling face, the first I had sei n since our marriage. She overwhelmed me with questions about the Roman tower. After I had told her what 1 SSW, she expre s.-d a wish to visit the ancient structure. On the following lay I and my wife went up the narrow windin staircase leading to the battlements. It WBS near sunset, and the view from our elevated position WSS grand beyond description. I raised my teleec pe and gazed through it upon a hunting scene. My wife stoo I by my side. I gave her a rapid description of the hying stag, the pursuing hounds, tin- mounted hunters, and when they all had dimppeared in the depths of the forest I laid own my telescope. " This was a grand spectacle, Eleanor P cried I, turning to my rieht. My wife was gone. 4 Perhaps she had tired of bearing my silly tala, and gone down to look at the inscription upon the walls hi the lower chambers,' thought I, deSO ndi r. I found the first and second story vacant. I shouted,' Hie mora! Klcanora!' The ding of an iron door was the only i sound I heard. Frantically 1 rushed down I the last flight of the spiral Btslrrasc My ! body cams in violen' oontact with sctosed iron door, which defied my utmost en I deavon to open it. 'Perhaps she lias 1 concealed herself behind some of the battlements, and otdy tried to frighten me, vst re hi thoughts as I again ascended to the highest platform.

" Thirty minutes more, and then we lly." Again the word "fly." "Bah!" thought I; M Its only a word, nothing else. It comes from tiie brain of a half crazy man." As if he ha! divined ray thoughts, he cried : " I know you think m" BMd. No, sir, I am not mad. J hate lead all the books relating to lunacy, and I found thai maniJtcs h ive no control over their actions. But I have control over my thoughts and actions, and JZ irr a set purpose to MOtfOmplish. Now to continue my strry. M-On my return to the hotel I found it was the student who had procured the Carriage. I followed the fugitives. One year they etoded my search. At last a returned Californian miner oh1 me in 2 ?w York that he kcrv a woman living in 8an Fnriseo who answered my elesenptfon of Eleanora. I hastened to that city of the Golden Sands. I found her, sick, poor, and deserted by the villain. Do y . think I took her to my bosom again? No, a thousand times no I 1 found means to niiifen her stoneblind. Gold, my gold, purchased men, tools, who performed the mat eery neatly, " Three weeks after, she died raving in id. Look, here she lies ; I had her body embalmed." With these words he rose and removed the lid from the oblong box. A white, ghastly face, surrounded by pale golden locks like the holy sheen of a madonna, seemed to rtart from the blacklined coffin. Two hands, upon the fingers id' which glistened diamonds, were crosseel over her half exposed bosom. The aspect of the lace was serene, as if she was only sleeping Prom the colli i my eye fell upt d tii 5 candle. The kst strip ot black was dose to Hie flame. Another fifteen minutes had passed away. Fifteen more and wears a dark ti ess Then a vague hope- crept through my excited bruin that i had a chance to escape The voice of the English nan roused me from my thoughts. 1 looked down. He was leaning ag inst the ruling ot the staircase ; his watch he held in one hand, while the other was grasping a hammer. Again I beard the word "tly." " Ifes, fly !" repeated he in a sharp tone Then looking intently at tne watch, he continued his narrative : "I took this b . with me in my travels, : for now mv only end and aim was to tol-1 low the student, who had 1 ft San t ran Cisco tor the go'd mines There I found that he had started across the plains to the Eastern Btatea Honey procured me an outfit and an escort of twen.iy men. i follow d him from Plaoerrille to Carson, ami from there through the Hormon city i to For?

On my arrival in Bre men I d scribed his personal appearance to the Chief ol the Harbor Police, and promised a large sum of gold if he should be found. Three days' after, I learned that a man, answering my description, b -vi left for Prussia. I followed, and lirt HtW bim face to face in Dresden." He stopped and looked at me with eyes feiilof hatred. A oold shudder ran through my frame; I wanted to speak, but my tongue refused to nttef a word, and my throat felt as if a vicelike giip was compressing it the madman had distinctly ücsci b d the route 1 took from the s.ioi I or California to the frontiers of Bavaria. The following words whick the Englishman uttered confirmed what I had thought : 4i Yes, he and I traveled in one coacb, ate at the Fame table, drank good health to each ether, went together to this tower, Bis name is Herman Geller, and yon, thriee damned villain, are the man !" 1 sprang to my feet " It's a lie ; 1 never saw your wife ; I never saw nor heard of you before I met you at Dresden. My name is Herman Q altar ; I look like the student you described ; but I swear to you by the eternsl ; d sb ve us that I am not the man yon s iw at the feat of this tower at the time your wife left you f A terrible laugh cattM from his nshv lips as he swung the hammer around his head. 44 Very plausible, indeed, but I believe not a word of it. Thou, fiend, art in my power. It is just live minutes more, sn l tl.is candle dies. Then we, too, will die. But no, not die we will fly into eternity with the noise of thuneler and with the flash of lightning!" "What do you mean by the word 'fly?'" shouted I with imp tent rage, 44 11a, ha, ha, thou stupid fool. Cast thy false eye towards that glass box. It cmt'iins ttMtttjf ptnttuU e psnmssfon powder.

The falling stonea will crudi in their dull skulls, I rejoice at this, for thou wert born in that accursed town! Ha! onty three inmntes more!" cried he, looking at his watch, which he held close to the flickering light of the expiring candle. Three minutes more, and I am in eternity! Good God! what a fearful thought I, who felt so happy, so full of life and health. T, who came to Gcrmanv with , the certainty of marrying the girl I loved ! in my youthful days; the maiden who had J waited ten long ytars lor my return, be cause she believed me true to my v ws. j And I have to perish! Was there no , nuani of escape! I looked down. A I black chasm yawned at my feet , for the I m id man had removed part, of the sbiirs. I knew I was not able to leap across that gulf it would be suicide to attempt it. 7w0 tntaauVa, came Hke a death-knell to my card. The Englishman was still leaning again', the railing and shading the candle with his hands in order to pro- : it Jit..-. Where was now my hope of SSI aping him in the darkness? My entire, former lif ) passed with light aing flash through my throbbing brain. i remembered the joyous acenesof my buy j hood, my fust love, my cfc partum for the, . to me, unknown brads beyond the ocean j I thought I again heard the words of niy dear mother as she eave me her blessing.

I felt the air whiz past me. I felt that my extended feet struck something which viel led to the impetus. I heard a dull cwsh ; a terrible cry followed then I remembered no more. When I awoke I realized that I was ly ing upon something sott. I stretched out my hands a cry of terror escaped my moulu. I bad touched the face of the dead Ekanora. I had fallen into the c ffln.

I am not quite positive if the Englishman was mad, for he had laid his plans well. Mine wa a singular escape from a sudden death.

Tiik following is an extract from a letU r ol an officer of en rineeri now serving in India i The last time 1 was in nmp with K. wss when 1 was on my firsl tour ot in Bpection, and we were ail j 'll'. On that occasion a fearful accident befel me, which has formed the subject of everlasting i kail unto this day. We were halting in a small inspection building, it was dusk, and I went into my bath-room to have my tub. In the erected a niasonrv 'oath. bath room w as with high walls; but 1 oreferri ; mv tub. It was. as I said. betöre euisk, and a pretty strong wind was b wing through the open door. I took off my clothes and put them on a chair, ami was slan ting on the wet floor of the bath-room, Juat stepping into my tub, when a exeat, long, black, cold, slimy make c died around my legs, and rushed between them. I gave a tremendous bowl, and I iped into the tub, when I give three more dismal howls, and shud- ! i ' d. continuously fr m head to foot, as I sau that the brute had taken up his sta tion between me and the door, barring all escape. 1 was sfraid to take the chance of dashing w.i r ver him, because i' was just possible that he might spring at me, so i hoisted myself up on the edge of the tub standing against the corner of the Wall the fart host f could get from him and uttered another melancholy howl of bolplesyuess, and stood looking at him, and he at me. Thereupon the following conversation ensued between K., in the next loom, and me: K. What is up ? Myself Oh, a snake a great, big, bl ;e iv snake, and he won't budge, and I ean t get out. K. Hoid hard till I come with a light, and a stiefc. ami some negroes. Myself For Heaven's sake, don't stir, or yotrtl dflfe him at me. Don't come, 1 say don't come don't you come. Iv All rigid, then, I won't. So the snake and I coniinurd to stare at eaeh other, and I revolved plans of escape. I thought a jump from the edge of the unstable tub oyer the masonry bath' wall, about five feet off, into the bath, might save me, if it even broke my leg. It was my only chance of escape, and I should probably have to take it, alihewgh I dldn I know, lor the lite ot me, What might be in the bath, anel it was getting as dark as pitch. 1 shivered away on the edge of the tub; at last a gleam of hope en m sed mv mind. i my, K. " K Well, shall I bring the light? Myself Yes, bring it gradually and carefully, and not a negro, and don't come beyond the corner, or you may come in for it yourself. So a faint gleam spread itseli over the floor, which only magnified the terrors of the situation. Suddenly, with a desp irate resolve, I stooped and sent a whole Bouse d wat r over the snake, who didn't budge an inch, but I was savagely mad now, and I niad at him and clutched him by the collar, and lo, and behold 1 it was my bl ick neck-tie, which had b.-en blown in by the wind, got wetted on the floor and blown about my legs, and put me in the worst funk I ever was in. Fancy a man shying at ids own ne' k-tie ! Classification of F'owers. Tite flower- usually grown from seeds are Herbaceous, Perennials, Biennials and Annuals. Hardy bulbs, like tulips, crocuses and hyacinths, should be planted in the autumn. Tender or snmmcr bulbs, like the glfCUCH In", tuberose, and tiger flower, must be set out in the spring. Herbaceous Perennials arc plants which die down to the ground en ry autumn, but the roots continue lo live, ami new branches and ttower stems are thrown up for many years. Borne continue indetinitcly, but others die aber three or four years, like the Bweet William ; but if the root art; divided every year, they will continue to live and increase. These are called imperfect perm rat rats Bienniala flower the second and often the thiol year, and then die, like the hollyhoe:; ; but these may lie preserved by divid ng 'he roots. Annuals flower the first season, perfect their seeds and then die. Some varieties tl. at are grown as annuals in a northern climate, are either perennials er biennials In their southern home, where there are no Barere winter frosts. This is true of the verbena, marvel of Peru, etc. As annuals flower in a few weeks or months at moat, after litis g plained, and can always be depended upon for a brilliant show, they have al naj - b en des rvedly popular, v itli a piopi r arrangement, a continuous M torn in i y be k pi up from t ai ly in .1 uly until frost. Annuals are classed as hardy, halfhardy, and tender. Hardy annuals are those that, like the larkspur, cindy-fult, etc , may be sown in the autumn or veiy early in the spring, in open ground. The naif-hardy rarieties will not endure frost, and should not be I vn in the open ground until danger from frost is Over. The it aider annuals gt nerally require starting iu a hoi died to bring there to pericction, a no should not be set in 1 u open ground unit. the vvt athef is quite warm.

THURSDAY, MAY

The Evils of Anxious Forethought. The vexations that come to us from looking down into the future are dust rubbed ofX mostly from vanity, from pride, from avarice, from appetite, from the various malign feelings. If you take these thousand idle freis that thought breeds, an i tint make you unhappy; if you lay aside physic d causes, and come to mental, you will find that most ol them are selfish, and so fire malign. And when a man broods anxiously, looking down into the future, two things lake place: first, he loses tin use of the correct nwrunu-nt Ol his mind by this overheating; and, se'coiidly, he brings his mind under the influence of thee malign feeling?, which seem to rise up and lake possession of that great untrodden pasture ground of the future. His mind is brought insidiously under the dominion of tie se things. in a critical time the man ot the household goes to the window, and looks out, and sayg: 44 Who can teil wh?U those signs mean on the horizon? Who can tell what that banner means? Who can tell what armed host that is that is coming?" find thousands of men say to Fear, u io, sit in the window and watch " and Fe-ar, sitting in the soul's window, and looking far elown into the future, says: 4lI see something there." "What is it?" 3ys Avarice. "Loss of money bankruptcy trouble is coming!"' 44 0 Lord1 O L ird ! Trouble in the future. It is all trouble. Man is born to sorrow as the sparks lly upward. A few davs, and full of trouble Ö trouble I troubiSr" And for days snd weeks the man goes round crying, "Trouble : trouble I'1 What is it f Money. Nothing in the world but money. It is avarice that has made all that fuss about the future Sil that dust. It was because it was not golden dust tiiat the man wss troubled. Fear still sits in the w indow. 44 What Seest thou ?" say a Vanity. "Whisperings pre abroad.," say Fear. " 44 Men are pointing al you or they will as soon as yon come to a point of observation." "o, my good name!" Fays the man. 44 Al! that I have done; ad that I have laid up what will become oi thai ? Where is my reputation string? What will become of me when I lose it. and when folks turn away from me? O, trouble, trouble! it is coming !" What is it V Fear is sitting in the window of the soul, and looking into the future, and interpreting the signs thereof to the !ove of approbation in its OOarsest and lowest condition. Fear still sits looking into the future, and Pride, coming up, says: 44 What is it that you see?" 44 1 see." sa s Fear, "yemr castie robbed. I see yeu topple down from your eminence. I see you under the base men's feet. 1 see you weakened. I sec yeui dosest veined. 1 see your power scattered and gone." 44 O, Lord! what a world is this!" says Pride. No, that man has not had a particle of trouble. Fear sat in the window and lied. ' And Pride cried, and Vanity cried, and Avarice cried and ought to cry. Fear sat and told lies lo Hum ail. For tin-re was no; one f those tbincs, probahlv, down there. Did Fear Bee them ? Yes. But Fear has a kaleidoscope in its eye, and every lime it turns it takes a new form. It is filled with broken glass, and it gives false pictures continually. Fear does not see right. It is forever seeing wrong. Ami ii is stimulated by other fbelinga Pride stimulates it ; and Vanity Stimulates it; and Lust stimulates it ; and Love Itself finds, sometimes, no bet' r business than to send Fear on its balerrand For Love cries at the cradle, sylag, 44 h! the child will tiie'!" It will uo' die. It Will get wi 11. And then yoQ will not lie ashamed that yen; prophecied that it would ii:-'. Sou put on mourning i'i a ivanee. " Where wilt my family be! Where will all my children go? What will become of me?" fays Love in its lower moods. Love without faith is as b io :.s faith without love. So Fear sits in the window to torment the lower f rm of all our good feelings and nil our malign feelings. And under such circmastances how can a man do anything? He has smoked g'ass before his eyes when his feelings get betöre ti.; in, and they are in a morbid state. How many times in summer has that black cloud which was full of mighty storm, and wdnch e i ne rising, ami open ing, and swinging through the air, gone by without having a drop of rain in it ! It was a wind cloud. And af' r it had all disappeared, men took breath and said, M We need not have cocked up the hay in such a hurry or, M We need not have run ourselves out of breath to get shelter under this tree." And how many times have there been clouds rolled tip in men's heaven, which have apparently been full of bolts and trouble, but which have not had a trouble in them I And when they are g-me, men forget to get any wisdom. They do cot say, M Ne xt time T will do better." The next time they do just the same thing. Of the thought that excited them, that haunted them, that fevered them, that disturbed their deep, setting them whirling around in eddies of thought, when they get past it, they sav, u All that I suffered for nothing." But will you tie any wiser for that experience? Probably not. Von have the bid habit of looking into the future with a hot brain ; and you will rot cure yourself of it by any amount of fear. Men get into a state, sometimes, in which they rather want anxiety and trouble. As poison becomes stimulants, so these corrosions and cares not unfrequently become almost Indispensable. Tin re are many people who not only suffer, but seek suffering. They look at everything on tin dark side. If you present the bright side to them, they do not war t Co Bee that. They are in a miuor k y, and they want everything to wail. They not only are sick, but do not want to get well. They do not want to have people say to them, "Von look better to day than you did yesterday." If one fays to them, 41 1 congratulate you on having fewer pains," they resent it. and say, "I have not fewer pains, I never Buffered so much in all my lite." They begin to have a morbid desire for sympathy on account ol trouble Th y arc very much like what are called 44 weeping trees. Tin y have a downward tendency; and if you undertake to make them straight you break them. They are determined to be weeping-willows. There htc many people ol whom it may be I aid that they are m vi r happy unless they are miserable. Suppose everything should befal a man '.hat could happen to him, what would it matter? How long would it be befor he would be out of reach ot suffering? Where are the fathers ? Where tire the Puritans that died the firs! winter along Lhe coast of Massachusetts? Their trouble was long since over. They have for trotten it unless now and then thought ComeS to raise a higher strain ol triumph. Where are the wilnessea of God that pershed in dttngeoUB ? Where are the men that suffered cruelties rather than ahaa don their faith? Where arc the uncrown id kings that made the earth rich ? Where sic they whose neck the halter found, and w hose Iwidy was found lo tiie ru k ? The whole creation has gleaned and travailed over the sufferings tf men who are non w here no stiff rini can get lo 'hem L f is but a sandbr sdth. Bach year is not so much as the head that the beauts wears aboul her neck. Pearl though it be, or inn.it BOOS passes away. The placet that know you will soon know you no more forever, The eines that made you ft' I ye ti r lav are ainady below the horizon The tronbles that make you anxious to day will not be troubles when vo.i ua . t tin in.

JSfaary Ward Bo rher. Tite Itoots. Y JOSH HILLINGS. I WOULD jist like tew kno who the man WUX who fast invented tite boots. He must have bin a narrow autl kontr acted kuss. If he still livesfhope he haz repented ov Bis sin, or iz erdying grate agony ov some kind. I have been in a grate menny tite spots in my life, but generally could manage to make them average ; but there iz no such thing as making a pair of tite boots average Yu kan't git an average on the pinch ov a tite boot, enny more than yo kan on the bite of a lobster. Enny man who kan wear a pair ov tite boots, and be humble, and penitent, and not indulge in profane literature, will m ike a gi ' d husband. He will do more than that, he will d)tO divide up into several fu-t klass husbands, and be made to answer for a whole naberhood. Oh! for the pen ov departed Wm. Shakspcar, to write an anethema against tite boots, that would makeanshuut Rome wake up and howl agin. a, she did once before on a previous ockashun. Oh! for the strength ov Herkules, to tare into shu strings all the tite boots oi creashun, and skatter them to the 8 winds of heaven. Oh ! for the buty of Venus to make a bigg toot look hansom without a tite boot em it. Ohl for the payshunce ov Job, the Apostle, to nuss a tite boot and bless it, and even pra tor one a size smaller and more pinchfnl Oh : for a pair ov boots bigg enuff for the foot ov a mountain. I hav bin led to the above assortment ov " Ohs" from having in mi posseshun at this moment, s pairov number nine boots, with a pair ov number eleven feet in them. Mi feet are az a dog's nose the fust time he wears s muzzle. I think mi leet will eventually choke the boots to dcth. I liv in hopes they will. I supposed I had lived, long enuff not to be phooled agin in this way, but i hav found that an OunCQ Of vanity weighs more than a pound ov rca.on, cspeshily when a man mistakes a bigg foot lor a small one. Avoid lite boots, mi friend, az you Would the grip ot the de vil, for many a man has caaght for life a lust-rate habit for swearing by encouraging bis feet to hurt hi, b riots. I hav promised mi two feet, at least a d sen ov times during mi checkurd life, that they never should be strangled agin, but I find them to day sz full ov pane az the stninniuk ake, from a sudden aitak ov tite boots. Hut this iz solemnly the last pair ovtite boots i will ever wear; i will hereafter wear boots az bigg az my feet, it l have to go barefoot to do it. I am too old and too respectable to be a pboel any more. E izy boots iz one ov the luxuries ov life, but i forget what the other luxury is, but i don't know az i care, provided i can ge-t rid, ov this pair ov tite hoots. Enny man ken have them for seven dollars, just half what they kost, and if they don't make his feet ache wuss than an ancle worm iu hot ashes, he needn't pay for them. Methuseles iz the only man that i kan kail to mind now who could have afforded to have wo'e tite boots, and enjoyed them ; he had a grate deal of waste time to be miserable in, but life now days iz too short, and too full ov aktual bizzine ss to phool away enny ov it on tite boots. Tite boots is an insult to enny man's understanding. He who wears lite boots will have to acknowledge the corn. Tite boots have no bowels of mercy; thair insides are wrath and promiskious cussing.
