Much ado about Nothing.
BY MISS ANNIE MIDDLETON.

Mrs. James Taylor has been crying for
the last hour, and like the lady in the play
seemed determined to sweep while
longer" Yes, the very minute her lord
and master with hat in hand had closed
the street door did the tears begin to fall
Countless, innumerable, not to be reckon
ed, were the bright drops-and nobody
knows how long they would have lasted ,
had not voices on the piazza and sum-
mons at the bell, despatched Maggie, the
maid, to the door, and Mrs. TayIor's
cambria handkerchief 10 her eyes. In
five minutes more those eyes were as clear
and bright, the voice as gay. the laugh as
musical, as if there were no such things
as grief or care in the world or if so, lit
tie, merry Mrs. Taylor cast them to the
winds and deied them.
And what had she, the newly married
lady. the three months bride, been crying
about? Why, really, it was TOO ridicu-
lous to tell ; and she had pouted and
smiled, aud smiled and poued for some
time before she had actually made up her
mind to weep; but she had distressing
suspicion thai her husband The was very
good husband, there was no denying that)
did not love her. No she was sure he
did not-not bit, and never did. He
was kind hearted he had found out that
she had loved him, and so--he mar
red her. II she had only discovered this
before, what misery would she have SPAR
ed herself Silly Mrs. Taylor, if any
body else had SAID this, how eoquently,
how Indignantly, would she have answer
ed to The contrary-asserled it, proved it,
bringing glances, tones, and daily, hour y
evidences of affection to sustain her argus
ment. II any body else had said it, she
would have laughed them to scorn but
now that her own good-for nothing head
had contrived, and silly little heart harbor.

about it, and she was the most miserable
woman breathing. She was not Jealous
he did not love any body else, but he did
not love her. How could he, when he never
told her so, nor even when he offered him
self; he only asked her to marry him,
and she, poor deceived woman, took the
love for granted What would she give
for an affection that never found vent in
words. He was kind-so he was to his
cat or dog-he endured her. Endured !

renee at a Millerte camp>meelng. a
party Of wags, headed by one Cabe, had
gone there on the third night, when all
were in their ascension robes. Cabe had /,
that morning, with great deal of perse-
verance, and more trouble, managed 10
throw an half inch hemp rope over the
branch of an oak which stretched its long
arms directly over the spot where the
Milertes would assemble one end he
had secured to the body of the tree and the
other 10 stump some distance of. A
bout ten o'clock, when the excitement was
getting about "sixty pounds TO the square
inch" Cdbe, wrapped in an old sheet,
walked into the crowd, and proceeded to
fasten, in as secure manner as possible,
the end of the rope TO the back part of the
belt which confined the robe of a noisy
negro, named Sam. He then sloped TO
join some of his companions who had the
end ofthe rope, The few stars in The sky
threw dim light over the scene, and in
few moments the voice of Sam was
heard, exclaiming, "Got Almight Use
going upl Who-o.ohl" and sure enough
Sam was seen mounting into the "etherIal
blue" his ascent was however, checked
when he had cleared terra. frma few
feet, "Gloryw cried ne-"HaIIelujah!'
atother-and shrieks and yelIs made the
night hdeous; some tainted, others pray

slid. Now, whether i: was owing 10 the
lightness of his head. or the length and
weight of heels, or both, Sans position
was not pleasant one; the belt to which
Ca5e's cord was attached was bound eX>
actly round his center of gravity, and
Sam swung like pair of scales, head up
and heels down, heels up and head down,
at the same time sweeping over the crowd
like pendulum, which motion was accel-
Grated bv his Strenuous clapping of hands
and vigorous kicking. At length he be-

DEPTH OF SENECA LAKE. A party
last fall took sonndings of this Lake abou

Could the water be drained from that
great valley, what frightful abyss 1t
would PRESENT.
AS the bottom of this Lake is lower
than The surface of the ocean, as is proved
by the lockages on the Erie canal, many
have supposed from indications Of salt wa

be found at the bottom. To lest this, a
strong empty bottle was firmly secured 10
the line, being stopped with cork, so
large as to be forced only perhaps one
quarter of its length into The bottle. On
letting it down $50 feet, the cork was fore
ed into The bottle. This was repeated sew.

Wooden shoppers were now substituted

Alter remaining some five minutes at
