A PAIR OF APRIL FOOLS.

' I Mr. Softheart had always been a romantic young man, from the earjiest years at which it was possible for hiin to claim the title man; and he was romantic still, now that the title was only accorded to him because of his bachelorhood. Mr. Softheart had never desired to be a bachelor. He admired the other sex too much; but, although he had been in love with four blondes, three brunettes, and five young ladies who were neither one nor the other, he had never been able to pop the question point blank, but delicately hinted it in such a way that his meaning would have been a riddle to the Sphinx, and was naturally enough never successful. Now, at forty, and growing extremely stout, he was as romantic as ever; ana moreover, he was desperately in love with a new idol—a young lady whp smiled when he appeared t gave him soft glancea, Called hfe bouquete “lovely, " and preserved them in water! The fact is, Mr. Softheart was very well off, and not ill looking, and that Miss Belinda had made up her mind to accept his hand whenever it was offered, despite the persistent attentions of young Mr. Spooney, who, though by no means illlooking, and just six-and-twenty, was only a Government cleric, and by no means aseligible a match in consequence. For six months Belinda Bellows had been waiting for Mr. Softheart to propose, and every day more certain that he positively intended to place his mansion and bank account at her disposal. But, though Mrs. Bellows was kind enough to allow the cook to summon her to consultations when Mr. Softheart called, and so leave the pair alone together; and although Belinda's sister, Miss Angelina, was equally considerate, and invariably remembered that something she wanted very particularly was up-stairs when her mother went to speak to the cook, poor Mr. Softheart never could bring himself to the point of saying; “Will you have me?” It would, he argued, confuse the young lady and himself; and if she thould say no, where —as the. floor never opened on such awfhl occasions to receive rejected lovers—where should he hide himself? “I’ll do it by letter,” he said to himself, after long consideration. “ Women, so far, have misunderstood me. I’ll do it in black and white now—say ‘Will you marry me?’ in so many wonts, and decide my fate.” And so, on the last day of March, Mr. Softheart wrote, on pink-tinted paper, perftimed with Kimmel’s scent and edged with gold, an offer of his hand and heart, as plainly to he understood as the bill fromons's baker; and, feeling that he had done a safe, though coarse, thing, he enveloped, sealed it, and put it in his pocket before he made his evening call on his beloved Belinda. Now it so happened that that very evening Belinda herself had come to a resolution. Her twenty-fifth birthday was approaching, and she could not afford to “waste time.” When Mr. Softheart reached ffieTiduse of the Bellows’ he found the field quite clear. Miss Belinda had artfully contrived that it should be so. That perfidious young person had actually purchased tickets for a concert; requested

joutqf Spooney, win wu half mad with Joy at the idea, to accompany Angelina and herself; and onthe evening in Question waa smitten with a terrible attack of neuralgia. Reclining in a clytlr, with a lace ’kerchief held to her cheek, she regretted her inability to go; but, after all, Mr. Spooney should not nave his trouble for nothing—mamma and Angelina would go. Bhe had rather be alone, she waa to cross and nervous. They really must go. And, knowing very well why, the ladles acquiesced; and what could Spooney do? Aa a gentleman, clearly nothing but regret Miaa Belinda’s illness and be delighted with the society of the mamma of fifty and the sister of fifteen. Yet a wretched man waa Mr. Spooney that night; and both his cempanlons on* their return pronounced him “ stupid.” Ten minutes after the departure of the trio Miss Belinda, arrayed in blue silk, with flowers in her hair, was playing at such a rate on the piano that it seemed quite certain that the demon neuralgia must have vanished. She did noteven hear Mr. Softheart’n knock, and started in sweet conftisiou on his appearance. “I’m all alone,” she said. “Mamma and Lina won’t be home until eleven o’clock. I’m afraid you’ll find it wry stupid.” But Mr. Softheartwas not afraid of that; and the two talked together In very low voices, sitting very close to each other on twin chairs. Mr. Softheart looked and sighed and uttered romantic sentiments, but he did not pop flto Question. Miss Belinda did all that a modest young lady could to further this object, but in vain. She did not know-how could she?— that at the door Mr. Softheart had said to Biddy, the housemaid, “Look here, girl, put this in Miss Belinda’s room, where she will be sure to see it;” and that he had presented her with the billet containing his proposal, crowned by a five-shilling piece! How should she guess that even nt that moment the offer Mr. Softheart could not make in words was in hqr work-baskets xt'aft shelld not. “ If the man did not avail himself of such a chance, after six months’ courtship, plain even to the servants in the kitchen, why, he meant nothing. Andthe-unhappy, unlucky Mr. Softheart did not utter the expected words, and left at a quarter to eleven, with a quotation from Byron and a sigh. “He’s a contemptible flirt!” said Miss Belinda. *’ What did he mean by squeezing my hand and by sighing so, and by saying such pretty things, and by looking in my eyes so ? Gentlemen friend) never do such things. I’ll show him my heart is not broken. I’ll many Spooney.”

And Belinda wept, for she was bitterly mortified, and Mr. Spooney did not own a large mansion. Belinda wept, as we'have said, and went to bed in the dark. Of course she did not see the letter in her work-basket, and no one else saw it until the flrst of April dawned, Now, in their normal condition, with no love affair on the tapie, the Bellows were merry people, who indulged in practical jokes, and April Fool's Day was always regulaily kept in the family. A new trick was always hatching the year through, and bundles of rubbish were sent by express, and cotton cakes made, and door-bells rung, and alarms of fire given, and people sent post-haste to remote regions to find April fool awaiting them in one shape or other. But this year the three particular Bellows with whom we have to deal were not prepared with any particular joke, though each suspected the other. And when Angelina, sitting up in bed beside her sister, saw the glittering white note in the work-basket, she immediately made up her m Ind that it was " a trick.”

She crept softly toward it and read the inscription—“ Miss Belinda Bellows” and retired to her again. “ What, a flat trick I’jpe said to herseif. “ Why, Bell will guess at once, unless she forgets that it is the Ist of April. Ma’s tricks are always so smart, it’s queer she should do such a foolish thing.” Then a thought struck her. She crept tiptoe out of the loom and down-stairs to the parlor, where Bridget was making the fire, taking the letter with her. “Biddy,” she said, In a whisper, “come up-stairs and awaken my sister and tell tier Mr. Softheart brought this this morning. Tell it as if t t was the truth, remember, and there’s a shilling for you.” And Angelina tiptoed with barefoot softness back to bed. But Belinda was awake this time.

“She’s going to try to fool me, I know;” said she to herself, with her eyes shut and in a very cross mood, and awaited the denouement with anything but her usual good nature. Biddy, meanwhile, had recognized the letter. “ It’s a lucky one for me,” she said to herself. “A crown over night and a shilling in the morning.” And up-stairs she stumped and knocked at Belinda’s door. “ Misther Softheart bade me give you this, miss,” she said. „„ “ 111 teach you to tell stories,” said Belinda. “ You know Miss Angelina gave it to you.” Biddy was confounded. “Me gave it to me last night, miss, as true as I hope to go to barrenr, she ssM; ‘ “ Litet iflgftt!” 'said Angefina, witß a warning glance, supposing Biddy to have forgotten tier lesson. “I mane this morning,” said Biddy, taking the hint. “Give me the letter,” said Belinda; then, snatching it, she tore it deliberately into four pieces and threw them on the floor. “Do you suppose I mean to be called an April fool?” she sobbed. “You might have more con—aid—eration—for—my—feelings, when he’s trifled so.” And went off into hysterics. Mamma rushed in. Biddy screamed “murther.” Sal volatile was applied, and, in the confusion, no explanation was made. Biddy swept the room and put the letter in the dust-pan. And Mr. Softheart watched all day for the postman, and watched in vain.

That afternoon Mr. Spooney called to inquire after Miss Belinda’s health, and found her well enough to walk out with him ; and Angelina and her mamma began to compare notes. Then, and not until then, the letter began to be a mystery, and Biddy being sent for explained that, to the best of her belief, Mr. Softheart gave it to her to put in Miss Belinda’s room the night before. Then, in dismay, the ladies njmmaged the dust-bin, and, after an hour’s search, reappeared in the parlor with dusty tresses and soiled hands and nine little pieces of paper. These, deftly pieced together, made a whole note, which, biting perused, revealed a proposition. Belinda returned rather late with a very conscious look upon her face, and stared in astonishment at the dusty objects, who met her with excitement on Aheir countenances. It was a good while before the truth could be extracted from the interjections and ejaculations with which she was greeted;- but when, at’ last. it was made manifest, Belinda listened like one in a trance. She had indeed been made £h April fool of. Mr. Softheart had really proposed. The mansion had beeu offered to her, the bank-stock and all that made the bachelor an eligible match; and she that very evening had accepted Spooney, for whom she cared very little, and who had only £l5O a year to live upon.x ' ' If was not complimentary to her betrothed, but she went into her second fit of hysterics at once. - As for Mr. Softheart, he never proposed toanydhe again. He received the news

of Belinda’s betrothal with comparative calmness, but made his will next day in view of suicide, and left all his fortune to a hospital Changing his mind, however, he lives still, and so does Belinda, on a second floor, where she quarrels a good deal with her hueband, who has c eased to be at all attentive and wonders vaguely what he could have meant by it—meaning his courtship and marriage. And Mr. Softheart never sees Belinda, who would be handsome still In a decent bonnet; and Belinda never sees the old bachelor, whom she really liked, and who is fine-looking as well as rich, without a bitter remembrance of the first of April which made them and has left them a pair of Apri| Foote.

Startling Meteorological Theory—Can the Weather Be Controlled!

Notwithstanding tlie services in the different churches of the city, and the attraction of other amusements, a full house assembled in the hall of the Young Men’s Christian Association to hear the first lecture of tho season, which was delivered by Rev. L. B. Woolfolk, of Lexington, Ky. The lecturer showed perfect familiarity with his subject, and held the undivided attention of his audience for over an lieur, and at the close was greeted with prolonged applause. He began by stating that during two years’ residence in tho Rocky Mountains, the cradle of storms, he beheld the phenomena of nature unveiled to observation as they are nowhere else. Hie generalizations, based upon these observations, had led him to the conclusion that the weather is subject to the control of man, in respect of wet and dry, heat and cold, storm and calm. In the present lecture he would restrict himself to the proposition that, by cannonades, man can so control the temperature as to maintain a genial summer v arm th during the entire winter. The temperature, he said, was dependent upon the winds, the south wind bringingwith it thetemperature oi the troplcS, aria the north wind bearing with it arctic cold. If man can keep the south wind upon the surface, the weather would be always genial. In the temperate zone the south wind is always on the surface of die earth except during storms. The storms of the temperate zone all arise out of the conflict of the tropical and polar currents, which become embanked against each -other.This embankment and mutual compression and struggle of the two currents can only end by the polar current cutting a track through the tropical current, through which to pour its mass south toward the tropics. All our winter storms are eruptions of the polar current. The mass of the polar current is much less than that of the southerly winds, and it never cuts but one track at once, and, at all points away from the storm track, the tropical current is flowing northwise on the surface of the earth, bearing with it the genial temperature of the southern latitudes. If, therefore, man can, by cannonades, keep open tlie track of the polar current at one place, a genial climate will be maintained in all other areas of the temperate zone. The lecturer then proceeded to show how the track of the polar current is opened by either of three natural causes —by mechanical pressure, by electricity, and by growing vegetation—and described a number of interesting phenomena observed by himself in illustration. But he proceeded to show that a cannonade was the most efficient of all agencies for breaking a vortex through which the polar current will pour its mass. This was the only agency that could prevent the two air currents from ever becoming embanked. He then cited many facts to show that the cannon-firing of winter battles has always broken a track for the polar current aver the area of conflict, and that simultaneously the south wind was flowing northward at all other pointe. He proposed to keep up a cannonade upon one of the Aleutian Islands, so as to keep the storm track of the polar current constantly open in the Pacific Ocean . By this means the two currents would never become embanked and the tropical current all round the earth would set up a steady flow toward the open track. z This modification of the direction of thd south winds would greatly benefit the northern hemisphere. The deserts Of Asia and North America would have regular and seasonable rains; vegetation would continue throughout winter, and the warm winds, blowing up the Atlantic into and across the Arctic Ocean, would drive before them the warm water of the Southern seas to mitigate the cold of frigid regions. The subject was well illustrated with diagrams, by the aid of which the ideas of tlie lecturer were made perfectly clear to the audience. The earnestness and argument of the speaker produced a deep impression upon his hearers, and at the close of the lecture the entire audience rose to its feet in testimony of its conviction of the practicability of the theory. Justice cannot be done to the lecturer in this brief abstract. It is to be hoped that the subject will be thoroughly investigated by scientists and tlie practicability of controlling tlie weather by cannonades be tested by experiment.—Cincinnati Timet

Remarkable Resuscitation of a Frozen Man.

About nine o’clock last Friday morning, a stiffened body was found in the highway opposite the residence of John Morehouse, about two miles north of Seneca Falls. To all appearances the man was frozen, the limbs were rigid, the face was pale and the eyes had a glassy look and there was no sign of Fife. Mr. Morehouse placed the supposed corpse in a wagon and conveyed it to Seneca Falls, where he delivered it to the ptflice. It was placed in Mr. Metcalf’s store, and Coroner Purdy was notified. The people* gathered and scanned the face of the supposed derd man. Every one pronounced him dead—frozen to death. He was recognized as John Hammell, a farmer living two and a half miles south of the village. He had started for home the night before, but apparently became bewildered and went north instead of south. About ten o’clock some one knocked at Mr. Morehouse’s door and asked for a drink of water. The family had retired, and, supposing the stranger to be a tramp, he was told the well was outside and he could help himself. This is supposed to have been Hammell, who was found near by the next morning. Coroner -Purdy arrived, summoned a jury and began to inquire, according to law, how and by what means the man then and there lying dead came to his death. Dr. Lester looked at the supposed remains, and, after a careful examination, said the man was alive. They laughed at him, but he insisted so strongly that life was still within the stiffened body.that Nicholas Durnir, brother-in-law of the deceased, Caused the body to be removed to his store. The Coroner’s inquest was then interrupted, and the inquest, and perhaps a ftineral, was averted. It was about eleven a. m. that Dr. Lester commenced his work of restoring life. Between two and three in the afternoon he was enabled" to pry open his’pifflent’s mouth and administer some hot sling. Soon after the eyes opened aud closed, and the physician felt Sure of bis case, while those who had contended that the man was dead were satisfied of their error. About seven o’clock in the evening he showed more signs of life, and seemed to make an effort to speak. He remained unconscious, however, until

about four o'clock Saturday morning, Whan he awoke m from a long dream. He could not remember the past, but knew, however, that he started for home, and all after dial waa a blank. By nine o'clock Saturday morning consciousness waa ftilly restored. and although hit fingers, toes, nose ana ears are badly frozen, he will recover.—JlocJweter (2IT. F.) Democrat and Cfiwnicle.

Marrying in Fun.

There were some momentous calls made on New Year’s Day by residents ot Kinderhook village. Some of ite golden yOuth drove hence to Chatham to see the new year ip at the hospitable mansion of Miss Anna Gifford. All went merry as, not one, but two, marriage bells—as it turned out. The ftin was fast for awhile. Young America hit upon an idea. *• Baay, fellers, let’s have a weddln'!” Tho young ladles said the idea was perfectly splendid! Then they said: “•hl But who’ll get married?” “ I will,” said young Perrine, eon of that effective Democratic campaigner, E. O. Perrine, Clerk of the Court or Appeal. He stood up like a Chicagoan, as if he were used to it. “ Oh, yes, and Lizzie, you must be the bride.” This was Miss Lizzie Lee, who lives near Troy, but was on a visit to her aunt ; Mrs. Braalay, of Kinderhook. Miss Lizzie required the usual amount of persuasion. But she blushingly took her place at last. The ladies said: “Oh, won’t it befun! Let’s have two couple!” And so young Mix, son of JamenMlx, an Albany Jeweler, who lives in Kinderhook, stood up. The choice of his partner was not so unanimous aa in the first case, but Miss Lizzie Dennis, ot Kinderhook, was finally persuaded to personate the second bride. The places of bridesmaids and groomsmen were quickly supplied. Upon Mr. Cole, a school-teacher here, fell naturally tlie lot of reading the marriage service. He did it as one ordained ta-tlw aaitf “ Whom God hath joined together let no man nut asunder,” the ladies would have looked solemn if the young gentlemen had not just then been insisting that no wedding ceremony can lie complete without kissing the bride. Boon after the village churchbells had rung their centennial chimes the youthful party drove gayly to their homes. The laaies gave an animated description next day of the loveliness of the brides and tlie solemnity of the ceremony. It had lookea, they vowed and declared, just for all the- world like marrying in real earnest • if they were going to be married to-morrow they wouldn’t ask to be married more delightfully than Mr. Cole had done it. “What! not the Bev. Mr.' Cote here?” asked mamma. “ Why, Mr. Cole, the teacher.” “Why, what do you mean? Don’t those silly girls know that Mr. Cole is a real minister? Why, whatever have they been thinking about? Mammas dropped In on each other and compared notes. It was even so. Only two years ago the Rev. R. H. Cole exchanged his . calling as an expounder of texts Tor that of propounder of arithmetical problems at Kinderhook. The youngsters that had thus been playing with matrimonial fire had burned their fingers on the Rev. Cole. Whether the young lady will be able to stay Mrs. Perrine is not known as yet. In the other case it is said there must be a divorce, Mr. Mix being engaged to a young lady living near Hudson.— New York Bun.

Winter Sports at Quebec.

A Quebec correspondent, describing the sports of the winter season, says if you contemplate visiting QueWc, especially you girls—the boys are usually warmly enough clad—you must dress for the occa»ipn, for the mercury is way down at zero and the moon is shining on a field of snow two feet in depth, and bringing out myriads of frosty diamonds, ana footsteps fill the crisp snow. So put on your warm fur jacket, take Off your stiff linen cuffs, take off your long dress-skirt and replace it with a short quilted one, pull on heavy overstockings and Arctic shoes, and, with a fur cap well pulled down over your ears and a cloud wrapped round and round your neck, you’ll look like a Canadian girl ready for a frolic in the snow, and ready to follow anywhere her escort leads. Snow-shoeing and sliding parties are the rage just at present. The toboggin, on which the coasting is done, is five or six feet long and eighteen or twenty Inches wide, made of a thin birch board, perhaps half an inch thick, strengthened by little crossbars and turned up at the front in a graceful curve. Of course, as they have no runners they are made, very smooth, md on this account an old worn toboggin is better than a new one. There is not a prettier or more picturesque sight than to see a rosy girl flitting swiftly but silent as a shadow down the long hill. You seat yourself on the toboggin with your feet under the curved front and your clothes carefrilly tucked under you, the pilot jumps upon the toboggin back of you, after giving it a start. With one foot dragging behind, like the rudder of a boat, he guides your craft. After the first start you might as well be flying, as far as motion goes. You lush and bound onward and downward in your mad career, a shower of djxanovv risuigiuyour wake.. Tlie ropes which you hold serveto steady S, and you clutch them* with a grip of peration as you skim Along, setting your teeth and bracing yourself against any stray “bump” you come to. A bump can be Setter imagined than described. ■>

Restored Independence Hall.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: “ Among the best things recently done for the credit of Philadelphia is the rescue of Independence Hall from its former condition as a * curiosity shop’—a magazine for the collection of all sorts of incongruities—and its restoration as nearly as practicable to its historical condition in 1776. What it is beyond this adds to its interest and dignity, for who is there but views with satisfaction the portraits of the * signers’ and the relics ot the actual furniture which then stood in the venerated hall? This great and most desirable transformation has been the work of a disinterested and unpaid committee, composed jointly, of public officials and private citizens, and they deserve not only our best acknowledgments for their services, but our most hearty encouragement in what they still have in hand. They are making a Commendable effort to establish a national museum in the adjoining hall, composed of historical relics that must have great value as an adjunct to education as well as deep interest to their patriotic visitors.”

Rheumstism a Symptom of Other Diseases.

The alarming extent of chronic rheumatism in the country has led to persistent investigation. It has lately been ascertained that the disease Is the result of other complicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, pancreas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other words, that rheumatism is a symptom. It is also found that, by the removal of the complicated disease, the rheumatism disappears, as a result Which seems to substantiate the theory. We all know, to our sorrow, how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this disease has'been, ana we-uow hail with joy the dawn of this new discovery. We all know that the symptoms of these diseases are generally present in cases ot chronic rheumatism, but few have supposed the disease to be an effect To remove these diseases the surest remedy can be found in the Srakbb Extract or Roots on CuratiVb Btbup: it appears to be working many cures. We refer to the article sold by Druggists and A J. White, New York.
