THE FORGED WILL.

It wab my first visit to London since I bad taken up my abode and entered on the practice of my profession as solicitor of Southampton. In London I had a very dear friend, my old friend, my college chum, George Dickson, and as he was the only person I knew in the great metropolis, of course I lost no time m looking him up. Three yean had passed since our last meeting, but ten could have scarcely produced a change more marked than had taken place in the appearance and manner of my friend. Our first greeting and friendly inquiries over, I longed, yet forbore, to ask the cause of my friend’s melancholy. I 1 felt sure, in due time, of being made the confidant of the secret, provided no motive of delicacy prompted its concealment. That evening, in my room at the hotel, George told me his story. He had formed an attachment for a young lady, whose graces of mind and person he portrayed with all the fervor or a lover’s eloquence. She had returned his affection, but her Cither had opposed his suit, having set his heart on tne marriage of his daughter to a nephew of his. This nepnew was a young surgeon, of profligate character, my fnend assured me—but that may have been prejudice —who had long, but unsuccessfully, wooed his cousin, to whom his offers were as repugnant as to her father they were acceptable. Borne months since. Mr. Parsons, the young lady’s father, had gone into Hampshire on business, accompanied by his nephew. At Southampton, he had been seised by a sudden illness, which terminated fatally in three days. On the aav preceding his death he had executed a will (wnich had since been duly proved by the depositions of the attesting witness) containing a solemn request that his daughter, to whom be left the whole of his estate, should accept the hand of his nephew in marriage, coupled with the provision that in case the latter offered, and she refused within a specified period to enter into the proposed union, the whole estate devised for the daughter should be forfeited to the nephew. To sacrifice her fortune to her heart’s choice would not have cost Julia Parson’s a moment’s hesitation; and nothing could have more delighted George Dickson than so fair an opportunity of showing how superior his devotion was to all thought of personal advantage. But her father's dying request, in Julia’s eyes, was sacred. It had surprised and stunned, it is true, for in their conferences on the subject he had nevdb gone beyond the most kindly remonstrances, and had never hinted at anything like coercion.

Young parsons, the nephew, had not the magnanimity to forego his ungenerous advantage. He might have been eontent with the cousin’s fortune alone, bat his right to that depended on his offer and her rejection to an alliance which she felt in conscience bound to accept The brief season of grace which she had been compelled to beg even with tears, had already almost passed, and a few more days would witness the condemnation of two lives to hopeless misery. __ At the conclusion of my friend’s narative, in which, for reasons that may hereafter be developed, I felt a peculiar interest, I prevailed upon him to accompany me to a place of amusement, to "which I had previously procured tickets. When we reached the theater the performance had already begun, but we succeeded in finding seats which commanded a fine view both of the stage and the audience. In a few minutes George touched my “Observe the gentleman nearly opposite, in the front row, seated next to the column, leaning his arm on his cane,” lie whispered I looked in the direction indicated, and saw a face whose striking resemblance to one I had seen before caused me to start with surprise. “Who is it?" I asked. “Etheridge Parsons,” was the reply. "The nephew of whom you spoke ?” Yes.” •'Does- he assemble his uncle F’ I was an the point of inquiring, but then the Granger drew the glove from his right hand, and I saw that the first joint of the tnidqle finger was gone, a circumstance which, for sufficient reason, absorbed my attention.

"Do you know the exact date of Mr. Parson’s death F’ I asked, when we had rained the street at the close of the per. fonnance. r “Yea,” said George, “it was the 23d of December. His daughter received a telegram from her cousin announcing the feet the same day. But why do you aakF’ “I have a reason which may or may not prove a good one,” I returned; ana stating that I had business engagements for the whole of the next day, I parted with my friend, promising to meet him an the following evening. Next afternoon found me at the house of Mr. Parsons, the nephew. “Mr. Parsons, I presume F’ were the words with which I accosted the gentleman I had seen at the theater. “Yea, sir.” “You may not remember me. Mr. Parsons, but I believe we have met before." “I beg your pardon for not recollecting the occasion.” “You were in Southampton last winter, were you not?” “‘I waa,”he replied, with some embarrassment. “I am the solicitor to whom you called to make a draft of a will.” He turned pale, but made no reply. “I saw a record of that will at Doctors’ Commons this morning,” I resumed, “and—” “You speak of my uncle’s will,” he hastily interrupted. “And yet,” I continued, “you said it was yours when you applied to have it written. You represented yourself deairious of executing such a document, preparatory to embarking on a voyage. The paper was drawn in accordance with K instructions leaving the date to be in at the date of signing. Your locks were gray then, and you certainly looked old enough tn have a marriagaa-

tilated finger. a desperate tone. 2&drfDecenrt>er. that effect is in,existence. It was the day before Christmas that you called on me to prepare the document now on record as nis wilt The inference is plain; you undertook to manufacture this spurious testament after your uncle's death, and wishing to clothe your villainy in legal form, you procured from me the required draft. You, or some one at your instigation, simulated the signature of the deceased. The witnesses, who have since perjured themselves in their depositions, were procured in some manner best known to yourstr,” he ejaculated, placing his back against the door, “you have shown yourself to be in possession of secrets the custody of which prove dangerous.” “I am not unprepared for your threats,” I replied. “In the first place, I did not come here unarmed; in the next I have prepared a full written statement of the Suits to which I have alluded, with information, besides, of my present visit to yourself. This paper win be delivered to the friend to whom it is directed, unless, within aa hour, I reclaim it from the messenger, who has been instructed to retain it for that length of time.” His face grew livid. His frame quivered with winded fear and rage, ana his eye gleamed like that of a wild beast at bay. “What is your purpose?" said he in a voice hoarse with suppressed passion. “To keep your secret while you live.” I answered, “on one condition.” “Name it” “That you write instantly to Julia Parsons, renouncing all pretentions tp hei hand, and absolutely withdrawing your proposal of marriage.” After a moment’s pause he penned a brief note, which he submitted to my inspection; it was quite satisfactory. iV'Be so good as to seal and address it,” I said. He did so. “I will see that it is delivered,” I said, taking it up and bowing myself out When I met George Dickson next evening, his old college look had come back. He had great news to tell me. The next thing was to take me to see Julia; and it is needless to say whata evening we spent together anl what a happy marriage followed not long after. Etheridge Parsons, I have just learned, emigratea for Australia, on board of the London, and went down in that ill-fitted ship.

Uncle Remus on Education.

As Uncle Remus came up Whitehall street yesterday, says the Atlanta Cowdir tulion, he met a little colored boy carrying a slate and a number of books. Some words passed between them, but their exact purport will probably never be known. They were unpleasant, for the attention of a wandering policeman was called to the matter by hearing the old man bawl out: “Don’t you come foolin’longer me, nigger. Youer flippin’ yo’ saas at de wrong color. You’k’n go roun* here and sass dese white pebple, an’ maybe dey*ll start* it, but w’en you come aslingiiryo’ jaw at a mau w’at-wHx gray w’en de fahmin’ days gin out, yo’ better go an’ git yo’ hidegreased.” “What’s the matter, old man?" asked a sympathizing policeman. boss, ’cep’in I ain’t gwinter hev no nigger chillun a hoopin’ and a hollerin’ at me w’en I’m gwine along de streets.” “Oh. well—school children—you know how tney are." "Dat’s wa’tmake I say wa’tl dux. Dey better be home, picken up china. Wa’t a nigger gwineter I’arn outen books? I kin take a bar*! stave, an’ fling mo’ sense inter a nigger in one minnit dan all de school houses betwixt dis en de state of Midgigin. Don’t talk honey! Wid one bar*! stave I kin fa’rly lif de vail er ignunce.” “Then you don’t believe in education ?" “Hits de ruination er dis country. Look at my gal.

Popular Science.

Lamp-wick dipped in hot vinegar before using, is said to prevent any offensive smell from lamps. Tortoise-shell and horn combe are prevented from cracking by being occasionally rubbed with off. Imitation honey is made of paraffine comb filled with glucose. Hom or tortoise-shell may be welded by pressing the parts together between a hot iron, interposing a wet linen cloth between the iron and the object. Mexicans subdue fractious horses by having a hood so arranged as to be pulled down over the eyes of the horse as soon as he manifests uneasiness. Several applications subdue the horses permanently. If a sponge, after having been used a week, is then put away to thoroughly dry, and another used for an equal time, the soft, flabby and worn-out sponge recovers its texture.

The Burlington Hawkeye set apart a column in wnich to impart general information on domestic subjects to its readers, in imitation of the “Cookery” departments of some of its contemporaries. It was called the “Mushery,” and the applications for information have been very numerous. One young lady asks, “how can I make a rag carpet out of two pairs of old pantaloons, one linen vest, and an old nightgown, so it will cover a room 14 by 16 feet? And how can I make a rag carpet so that.it cannot be detected from body Brussels.” *An Illinois man has a jack-knife and a large meat hound widen he wants to exchange for property in Nebraska.

The Chemistry of Water.

In this fluid, so clear, so bright, sc grate* ful to the system, so healthful to the temperate, so necessary to all—the delight of Grecian song—the charm of the Eastern paradise —of this fluid, lauded, with justice, by the physiologist— chemistry tells us that three-fourths of our apparently solid bodies consist, and-that it forms nearly as large a proportion of all living vegetables during tne height and vigor of their growth. In this fluid, looked upon as elementary till nearly our own times, modem research has taught us to see the readic or a subtle union between the oxygen and another gas, to which the name of hydrogen (wa-ter-former) has been given. Kindle this latter gas in the air, and it burns with a pale flame. Hold a cold bell-glass over the flame, and its under surface will become bedewed with moisture, and drops of water will trickle down its sides. Collect this water and submit it to a current of electricity ; the liquid will disappear and in its stead the two gases, oxygen and hydrogen, will remain. These experiments prove—firri, that while burning in the air, the hydrogen unites with the oxygen of the atmosphere, and forms water; and second, that.the water thus formed consists of two gaseous constituents only, compressed ana bound together by some incomprehensible connection which it makes us no wiser to call idiemical combination. It is, indeed, incoinprehensible how water, the enemy of nre, should itself consist of two gases, the one of which burns most readily, while the other it the great natural supporter of living fire. Ana it is equally strange that oxygen, so indispensable to animal life, should form eight-ninths by weight of a liquid in which few terrestrial animals can live for more than two or three seconds of time. By no known theory of physical or mechanical union can we satisfactorily explain how properties so new should be the result of such chemical combinations.

The chemical study of this water in its relations to animal and vegetable life presents new points of interest. The most important of its chemical properties are so familiar to us that we rarely think of them, and do not sufficiently prise them. Pure water has neither taste, nor smell, nor pungency. It is neither sour like vinegar, nor sweet like ■ugar, nor alkaline like soda. It irritates no nerve of sensation, even the most delicate; nor is the tenderest part of the animal frame disturbed by contßte with this universal fluid. It is thus fitted to penetrate unfelt, into the subtlest tissues, and without causing the slightest jar to flow along the finest, most hair-like vessels. It soothes ana assuages wherever it comes, lessening inflammation—lulling pain—diluting unhealthy fluids within the body—ana washing morbid humors and waste materials from the sickly and changing frame. Again, as a cooling agent, water is equally invaluable. In a dry and thirsty land, we feel and, acknowledge the pleasure of bathing our heated bodies in the sea or the running stream. But we are lees sensible how it watches over us. 'as it were, every passing moment, dispelling each rising heat, ana removing from the body every excess of warmth which might disturb the equable workings of its many parts. Do we eat inflammatory food, or drink over-stimulating fluids, the excess of bodily warmth produced converts a portion of water into vapor, and the lungs throw it off into the ah. Do we. by hard labor, or other unusual exertion, exalt the temperature of the body, the same water again takes up the superfluous heat: and bathing witn perspiration both skin and lungs, restrains within due bounds the growing inflammation. But more widely useful still in relation to vegetable and animal life is the property which water possesses of dissolving and rendering fluid a host of usually solid bodies. Put sugar or salt into water, it disappears and becomes fluid and penetrative like the water itself. The sea salt contains within its bosom many substances so dissolved; the fluids that circulate through our veins are chiefly water.

No Old Maids.

There are very few old maids in Russia because the Russians are a marrying people, and dispose of their children early. In the middle or lower classes men marry at 20 When not drafted by the conscription; in the higher aristocracy a young man goes to the “grand tour” before settling down but ne is often betrothed before starting to a young lady not yet out of the school room, and he weds immediately upon his return.

How to Detect Scarlet Fever.

It is important to detect the disesM whenit first shows itself, for thereasoi that it may run rapidly to a fatal issue and because early precaution, need tc be taken against its spread, inasmuch at the patient may communicate it from the very first Scarlatina is characterised by very numerous red points on the skin about the rise of a pin-head—though larger in some places, but seldom as large as a lentil. There spots are closely aggregated, leaving the adjacent skin wholly free. About as much of the surface is free as is covered by the spots. Where the skin is free, it has a natural pale color. There are generally fewer snots on the face than on the rest of the body. It is the reverse with measles, for which it is most apt to be mistaken. Around the mouth and on the chin there are no spots; hence these have a very peculiar pale look, in striking contrast with the ecaxlet spots. Moreover, the spots are not as much elevated as they are in meariea; indeed, they may be entirely flat They are also less indented. Their nearly circular shape, their being crowded together, with free spaces between the aggregates, their tolerably uniform space from each other, ana their nearly equal sire, help to aistinguish them from other emotions; but the paleness of, the mouth alone is ofteq, sufficient to decide the matter at once. Besides there indications, almost always the back of the mouth and of the tongue are inflamed, and the glands of the neck are swollen.

A Good Horse.

Wind, says an old horseman, is the great secret of a fast horse. Good lungs will cover a multitude of faults, while, on the other hand, perfection of shape and form are useless when the wind is out The chest therefore, in all cases, should be large and spacious. D may vary somewhat in shape, according to the service to which toe horse is to be put If he is apt to be kept tor slow work and heavy drawing, the chest may be nearly circular inform, because this shape is one for strength and bulk to receive and bear up against the pressure of the collar, while at the same time sufficient room is secured for the expansion of toe lungs caused by slow regular work. But if the chest is circular let it be at tl»e same time deep, or -etee the lungs may be cramped, A horse with a shallow chest is worthies, for any purpose. The rule then is: For a draft horse, a circular but deep chest; but as you pass through the different degrees of speed up to the racer and trotter, the chest will increase in depth compared to its roundness, until for the highest rate of speed you must take a chest as deep as a greyhound, and at the same time not lacking in strength.

A Convenient Land Measure.

To aid farmers to obtain accuracy in estimating the amount of land in different fields under cultivation, the following table is given: Five yards wide by 968 long contains one acre. Ten yards wide by 484 long contains one acre. Twenty yards wide by 242 long contains one acre. Forty yards wide by 121 long contains one acre. Seventy yards wide by 90 1-7 long contains one acre. Eighty, yards wide by 60 1-5 long contains one acre. Sixty feet wide by 726 feet long contains one acre. One hundred and ten feet wide by 896 long contains one acre. One hundred and thirty feet wide by 363 long contains one acre. Two bundled and twenty feet wide by 181 J long contains one acre. Four hundred and forty feet wide by 99 long contains one acre.

Many saloon keepers pay only 82 per gallon for whisky. One gallon contains an average of sixty-five drinks, and at ten cents a drink the poor man pays six dollars and a half per gallon for his whisky. In other words he pays 82 for the whisky, and 84-50 to the man for handing it over the bar. While it would be better for all not to drink, some men will have whisky, and a friend makes the following suggestion: Make your wife your bar keener. Lend her two dollars to buy a gallon of whisky for a beginning, and every time- you want a drink, go to her and pay her for it By the time you have drank a gallon, she will have 86.50, or enough to return the 82 borrowed of you, and have a balance of 84.50. She will he able to conduct, future operations on her own capital, and when you become an inebriate, unable to support yourself, shunned by respectable people, your wife will have saved enough money to keep you until you get ready to fill a drunkard’s grave. But had you paid all this money to a barkeeper, he would not have given a cent to bury you, and you would go to the pauper’s cemetery.

When the sea-shell is held up to the oar there is a peculiar vibrating noise, which the children assure each other is the roar of the sea, however distant they may be from it. Philosophically investigated, the peculiar sound thus recognised is a phenomenon that has puailed scholars for a long time. The experiment is easily made by simply pressing a spiral shellover thecerebraof either ear; the sound is very much like a far-off cataract. Now, what causes it? Every muscle in the body is always in a state of tension. Some are more on a stretch than others, and particularly those of the finger. It is conceded that the vibrations of the fibres in those fingers being communicated to the shell, it propagates and intensifies them, as the hollow body of a violin does the vibrations of the strings, and thus the acoustic nerve receives the sonorous expressions. Muscles of the leg below the knee are said to vibrate in the same wav, and if conducted to the ear produce same results. Glycerine should not be rubbed on the akin in an undiluted state. One of its remarkable properties is its power to absorbe moisture, and hence its irritating effect on the skin. About three fluid ounces of water to one of glycel- - will form a mixture which neither attracts moisture nor evaporates, the weight scarcely varying from week to week, either in one direction or the ''♦her' "

I know all this is heretical, but who would be a saint when heresy is so pleasant? The Old Pair or Gloves.—There is a great field of reflection in even such a trifle as a pair of old gloves. We turned ap, by accident the other day, a white pair, well soiled, that had seen much service in our younger days; «ad, oh! how they spoke to us through our memory* of scene, long pari, but still touching in their reminiscences! There they were, all torn and shrivelled up, but how very elegant in their minuteness. What dances had they not gone through? dance, now forgotten, not only in figure but almost by name. What gentle fingers had they not pressed?—some now m the grave, and some playing the curls of their grandchildren. Wnat waists had they not affectionately clasped while the pulse leaped madly at the glorious privilege?—waists that, at this moment, two pair of arms would scarcely be able to embrace. Well, well! every agehasitsown follies and enjoyments, and a pair of old gloves is an excellent teacher of that moral lemon* He who climbs above the cares of the world and turns his face to his God, has found the sunny side of life. At Delaware Water Gap, the other day, four ladles ran over a mile to get away from a cow. who stood still and dumbly wondered at the commotion.

Reading (Pa.) Times and Dispatch.

A remarkable cure effected in a stubborn case is thus recorded by our Bernville correspondent, to whom the invalid made the statement, which he gives as follows: Mrs. Jacob Sunday, of Jefferson township, was, for several years, a severe sufferer, and under the treatment of good physicians. She grew worse, and was confined to the house for three months, unable to walk, and hardly able to sit or lie. Several weeks ago she resolved to try the Hamburg Drops. Very shortly after she had taken a dose of the remedy she experienced relief, and w&s able to walk across the room. She continued to take the medicina and recently declared herself entirely cured, and is able to attend to her daily work as well as when seventeen years of age. *

[Louisville (Ky.) Commercial.] Steamboat Life and Its Dangers.

In a recent interesting article upon the palmy days of steamboat life on the Mississippi, in which special mention is made of Capt. Chas. N. Coni, of Louisville, and the statement of his cure after yean of suffering with rheumatism by St Jacobs Oil, one of our exchanges says: Bm* indorsements coming from our own people, leave no doubt that the em ph atic claims made in the interest of St Jacobs Oil are fully justified.

The meanest man lives in Crawfords* vine, mu* no scoie ail me wood his band over to ’spend the evening. An Irish gentleman having purchased an alarm-clock, an acquaintance arirad him what he intended to do with it “Och,” answered he, “share I’ve nothin’ to do bat pull the string and wake meeelf.” “What did von do then?” asked Col. George, after badgering a witness in the Lowell railroad case, at Salem. “I went to the rescue like a lawyer for a man’s pocket-book* replied the witness, and the retort was enjoyed all around. The day before a Turkish girl is married she ia taken to the bath by her lady friends, and lumps of sugar are broken over her head as a forecast of the sweets of matrimony. A year or so afterward her husband breaks the whole sugarbowl over her head. One of the saddest lingual mistakes on record occurred a few evenings ago in a local prayer meeting. The bulk of the audience consisted of elderly females. A worthy printer, with more frith than oral rhetoric, arose to speak, with the remark that he probably could not do as well “as the old hands about him.” The elderly females, being hard of hearing, understood him to say “old hens,” and he was promptly hustled out We can readily believe this story, which is told by an exchange, except where it is stated that the party at the prayer meeting was a printer. A St. Petersburg correspondent says: Pel egraphic reports received at the ministry of the interior from governors of forty nine provinces show that the harvest throughout Russia is poor.
