VOLUIE VII.

" Sir. Colburn, do you call this gentlemanly treatment ? " - "Oh, I don't know," replied Jim ; "hadn't thought about it." Jennie sat down a;jain upon the broad, fiat' rock, ' nzzd, drawing a fleecy fwarf across her shoulders, remarked, sfifllv : "Since I am compelled -to await your pleasure, I may as well take my earn while doing so." Jim glanced at the slight, bewitching little figure, fitting -so primly there, gazing with a fixed determination toward the north pole, and a halfamused, half-puzzled look changed the expression of his face for a moments. Then the smiles predominated, chasing away all signs of mystery, and, throwing himself at full length on the long grass at her feet, he exclaimed :" "Jennie, you dear, provoking little tease; what on earth do you want? Did you expect me to make a clown of myself by getting down on my knfscs and telling you I'd die for you, and all that? I'd do it, Jennie, in a minute any true man would be willing to die for a woman he loved, a I love, if necessary but, to be candid, I fancied you would not care for any such extravagant protestations." Jennie's little boot beat impatiently on the ground, but her lips were silent. Now Jim was certainly excusable for placing his own construction upon this strange reticence at any rate he did bo, and a broadcloth coat-sleeve wound itself lovingly around Jennie's slender waist, and an audacious mustache was close to the ripe, red lips, when he was pushed away, half angrily, with the exclamation : "Jim, I wish you'd go away, and leave me alone P "Hello !" shouted the astonished young gentleman. "Is it possible?" Then, in a gentler tone : Why, Jennie, what's the matter?" for she was crying a little, very softly, behind the miniature lace pocket-handkerchief. " Jim, let's go bach home." "Jennie, let's go down to that old church yonder and get married." Jennie is very properly shocked by this lawless suggestion. "Well, if you would rather wait a week or two," he resumed, carelessly, "I won't insist." "I shall never marry you, Jim!" she announced, in a tragical tone. A good-humored laugh accompanied his reply. "Oh, well, have your own way about it, Puss ; you need not promise me unless you choose, but 111 wager a diamond ring that I will lead my bride to the altar in less than a year, and she wi'l be no other than the fair Jennie Kingston." Her face grew a little paler, and the lace handkerchief went up to the brown eyes again. Suddenly a new thought seemed to disturb the serenity of Jim's mind, for he glanced up in her face anxiously, and interrogated : "Jennie, you don't mean to say tbat you're in dc.-.d cvrnest?" "Yes, Ji..-. To;; ." A long silence, iinally LroV.en by the abrupt inquiry : " Wh j won't you marry me ? " "Trhy, you see, Jim, the truth is, I'm engaged." " "Engaged!" he yelled furiously, f printing to Lb feet; then, seizing her arm almost rudely, he demanded in a low tcn: "Jennie, tell me who "the fellow is." "I won t" " Ycr, tou with" ' "Well, then, it's Coh Dalian." "Col. Dalton ! "What, that bald-headed old " .; ir I You will please recollect that von ar peahin:? cf tur future hi - j band." "!Iu-h)d!

"I knew that also; but it "docs my very soul good to hear you say so. Now give me a kiss, my " "Go away, Jim! I have not the slightest; idea of kissing yon." " Why, how queer you are! Yliat's the matter ? I thought that was the regular way to settle up thin business." " What business?" ' Our engagement." " Jim, don't you, can't you, understand that I have promised to marry that old I mean Coh Dalton?" Jim laughed provokingly. "Did he kiss you?" " I should have boxed his ears if he had attempted such a thing! " After a long pause Jim inquired, sadly, " Jennie, what on earth made you do it?" "I'll tell you all about it," she answered. "You have, of course, observed that he has been one of my most devoted followers ever since he came here. I have discarded him two or three times, but it does not do the least bit of good. He comes right back again as attentive and persistent as before. Well, last evening he enticed poor mamma out on the balcony, and they had a long talk together. Shortly afterward, mamma enticed poor me up to her room, and we had a long talk together. Jim, she was inexorable! Nothing less than an immediate and unconditional surrender would satisfy her. I said everything I could think of called him a few names, which she declared hurt her feelings very much, but I could not move her an atom. Finally I got scared, und what do you suppose I told her? I said that I was going to marry you ! Yon ought to have seen her then ! She gazed at me a moment precisely as if I had stated an intention of leaping to the moon. -Then she inquired, placidly: Has James ever asked you to become his wife?" Now, you poor, unhappy sinner, what could I say to that but no! Then followed a most interesting discourse, setting forth in a startling manner the folly and madness of those erring females who place their hearts' young affections upon any individual who has not taken the trouble to ask for them. She went on in this strain till I became very much ashamed of myself, and just a little bit angry with you. While I was yet in this comfortable frame of mind I chanced to encounter the Colonel, and, like a little idiot, T accepted him. That is all, Jim." At this moment a skiff with a single occupant shot around an abrupt bend in the shore, and came swiftly toward them. Jennie glanced up, and exclaimed, in a hurried whisper : "Good gracious, it's Col. Dalton! and he's coming up here." And he came. The Colonel bowed very graciously to Mr. Colburn, and then, turning to the young lady, remarked smilingly, " Ah, here you are, little runaway. I have been looking for you. Do you not think it i3 time to return? " " Oh, yes." she replied ; " we were going to start this minute." Then, turning to Jim, " Why, I believe I have lost my glove. Will you just walk back to that old arbor. I think it must be there." "Oh, certainly I" responded the i astute Jim ; " I will go with pleasure.'5 j " You see," explained Jennie, as she j accepted' the proffered arm of the gallant Colonel, " I wanted to speak I with you a moment, so I sent him ! a war." I j "Indeed! I shall be very harpy to j hear whatever you may have to say." t " No," she returned; " I am afraid it will not make you happy; but I must I ray it all the same, I w&pt to ask yon I to release me from our engagement, Col.

consider ourselves actually engaged at last?" " I suppose so." " Well, then, Jennie, I think I have waited about long enough. Now you may.give me two or three kisses peaceably, or I'll help myself to a'j many as I choose, without your Ladyship's permission." , " Jim, I really cannot think it my duty to encourage you in such foolishness." A low, happy laugh: answered her; then a lively struggle ensued, at the termination of which a pair of plump white arms were wound around Jim's neck, and his loving salutations were being returned with interest. What an association of ideas crowd upon the mind a3 we reflect upon this subject! The very name of " bells " is hallowed to the uses to which they are applied, and their sounds are replete with touching recollections. The solemn Sabbath bell, the curfewbell, the alarm-bell, and the merry marriage-bell, are striking terms, which indicate their purposes and qualities. The chime of bells chanting swelling notes of sacred melody the palpitating alarm-bell giving warning of a destructive conflagration ; and the curfewbell tolling the hour of departed day thrill bur hearts with emotions as varied as their sounds. The church-bells originated in Italy; and, of all the instances of the power of bells to toueh a sympathetic chord within the human heart, the most moving is the tradition told in connection with the peal of Limerick Cathedral, in Ireland. These bells are said to have been brought from a convent in Italy, for which they had been manufactured by an enthusiastic native, with great labor andkill. This Italian, having afterward acquired a campefcency, fixed his home near the convent cliff, and for many years enjoyed the daily chimes of his beloved bells. But in some subsequent political convulsion the monks were driven from their monastery, the Italian from his house, and the bells were carried away to another land. After a long interval, the course of his wandering brought the bell-founder to Limerick. On a calm and beautif ul evening, as the vessel which bore him floated in the Shannon, he suddenly heard the bells peal forth from tbe cathedral towers. They were the long-lost treasures of his memory.' Home happiness iriends all early recollections were in their sound. Crossing his arms on his breast, he lay back in the boat. When the rowers looked around, they saw his face still turned toward the cathedral, but his eyes had closed forever on the world. ntonvciyo meat without fui:i Acting on the principle that heat is a kind of vibration or motion of the molecules of matter, and that it may be produced by mechanical means, such as rubbing two sticks together, or the hammering of iron, llr.

TUB IIUZIOKS OF FOLITTCS.

Br J. W. HATTOX. Smith and Brown their real nameshave slipped my memory were second or third-rate politicians, living in the mountains of Tennessee. Smith was a Democrat "the standard-bearer " of his party for the State Senate. " Fidelity to principle," and a number of other praiseworthy motives, had impelled the patriotic Smith to offer himself a sacrifice upon the altar of duty. He could hope for little else than immolation, as the Whig majority in his district was seldom less than a thousand votes. Brown was a thorough politician. He left nothing to chance. He resolved to make the canvass red-hot. It was well, for the energy and cunning of Smith knew no bounds. The district was composed of three counties, two of which were Democratic by small majorities, while the third waa Whig by over a thousand. Trusting to the fidelity of his party in the Whig stronghold, Brown turned his attention mainly to the Democratic counties, in one of which both competitors lived. In the midst of the canvass, Smith heard of a big barbecue at a famous spring, down in the Whig county, and, without saying a word to Brown, he slipped off and attended the political feast, where he took occasion to make one of his most thrilling speeches. He returned in the night in order to deceive Brown, who had not missed him from the canvass. After working up the Democratic counties, Smith and Brown mutually agreed to address the citizens of the Whig county on a certain day, the appointment being an the eve of the election. The speaking was extensively advertised, and a large crowd assembled to hear them spout about the tariff, national banks and internal improvements. Except the sly visit of Smith, a few weeks previous, both men were strangers to the people of the county. On the way to their appointment, Smith assumed a sad and dejected air. He had taken a back seat in the vehicle, where he sat with his face buried in his hands. Wdien rallied by Brown, he finally unbosomed himself as follows : " I was thinking," said he, " of a very shabby trick I played on you a few weeks ago. I heard there was going to be a big barbecue at the ' Gum Spring and, without saying a word to you, I slipped off and attended it. I spoke to over a thousand people, and I handled you pretty roughly. I have felt bad about it ever since." " " Oh, well," said Brown, " that's all right. We will settle that score tomorrow." " You may say it's ' all right,' Brown, but I say it's not all right. I lied to those people in a most shameful manner slandered you outrageously in that speech." " What did you say about me ? " " I told those people that you had a negro wife and five mulatto children." Brown's first impulse was to strike Smith, but the latter appeared so humiliated and penitent his heart failed him. After a moment's reflection he said : " Smith, you have dose me a great injury; I expect you to make amends to-morrow by acknowledging to those people that you have lied." " I'll do it, Brown! I'll do it, if God lets me live to see the light of another day!" They "drove on in silence; neither cared to allude to the subject again. Brown spoke first on this important occasion. He discussed the leading topics of the day, and closed with tbe " Gun S; i::' z " ?yo. h tf I'-milL, a-. I "the d vch:l, sh-.i3d;-rou3 h'3 h h" 1 I ilmd o T on an n;i;-'i-;'i'.in.T pn! he."

f esslon to him. II there is a man within the sound of my voice who ever heard me say anght in disparagement of Mr. Brown's character, let him speak. I pause for a reply. Gentlemen, I stand acquitted, before God and man, of this foul charge of slander. It now devolves on my opponent to prove to this intelligent and respectable audience that he, too, is innocent. He has either misrepresented me, or else he has accused himself of a crime that should cause him to blush and hide his face forever from the sight of men cf pure blood and souls tin soiled by base associations." Brown took the stand and labored hard to demonstrate to the audience that Smith had either lied about him, or to him, but all in vain. They believed that he was either guilty of miscegenation or of telling a very silly and disgusting falsehood. It waa too late for him to vindicate himself to the satisfaction of his party and he was defeated beaten by the votes of the men who honestly believed that he had either lied on Smith or else was the father of five mulatto ch Iklren.

FACTS FOIl THE CURIOUS, Compared with cast iron the strength of wrought iron is 1.12 times greater, its extensibility 0.86 times, and its stiffness 1.3 times. In clapboarding, one bunch, laid three and one-half inches to the weather, will cover twenty-six square feet. Use five-penny nails. A cubic inch of water, evaporated under the ordinary atmospheric pressure, is converted into 1,700 cubic inches of steam, or, in a unit of measure, very nearly one foot, and it exerts a mechanical force equal to the raising of 2,120 pounds one foot high. Cast steel is made by breaking blistered steel into small pieces and melting it in close crucibles, from which it i3 poured into iron molds; the ingot is then reduced to a bar by hammering or rolling. Cast steel is the best kind of steel, and best adapted for most purposes. The reason that milk boils more readily than water is because it is a thicker liquid, and consequently less heat is carried off by evaporation of steam; therefore, the heat of the entire mass will rise more rapidly. Again, there is a thin skin which forms upon the top of heated milk, which of course confines the steam, and increases the heat. The principles of acoustics are but poorly understood. As a general rule the ceilings of halls and churche3 should be at a moderate elevation only. Sometimes the hanging up of flags or draperies will improve the acoustic properties, sometimes a hood or false ceiling becomes necessary. The whispering gallery of St. Paul's, London, offers an interesting example of one of the principles of acoustics. The article known as vegetable isinglass, which has hitherto been derived from Eastern Asia, is now extracted from French factories. It is, in its crude state, a yellowish gelatine, but which, after repeated experiments under the auspices of the Industrial Society, of Bouen, has been successfully converted into what bids fair to prove the best sizing for cotton cloth known.
