A Touch Story,

Our uncle Ear is in the habit some
times of "stre:ching The truth" little !;
a vicious sort ofpropensity from which
the rest Of the family are singularly
free. We heard him tell Snooks a
rather severe tale one day last week,
which we have concluded TO give to
the world.
"When, lived in Maine," said he, 81
helped break up new piece ofground;
we got the wood off in the winter, and
arly in the spring we begun to think of
ploughing' ont. 1t was so consarned
rocky that we had to get forty yoke Of
oxen to one plough-we did, faith
and held that plough for more than a
week.--I thought | should die. 1t cen
almost killed me, swan. Why, one
day was holdin,' and the plough hit
stump, which measured just nine foot
and half through it-hard and sound
white oak. The plough split it, and |
was going straight through the stump,
when happened to think it might snap
together again, SO just threw my feet
out, and had no sooner done this, than
it snapped together, taking smart hold
of the seat Of my pantaloons. Of
course, ! was tight, but | held on to the
plough handles, and though the team
sters did all they could, that team of
eighty oxen couldn't tear my panta-
looms; or cause me to let 60 my grip. AT
last though, after letting the cattle
breathe, they gave another strong pull
together, and the old stump came out
about the quickest; it had monstrous
long roots too, let me tell you. NY

our liberty and peace. Grant the pc
tition ofthy servant for the sake of hin
whom thou hast called thy Son; nev.
ertheless, not my will but thine be
done. Amen"
The next morning, the traveller de.
clining the pressing solicitations to
breakfast with his host, declared it was
necessary for him to cross the river
Immediately, at the same time offering
a part of his purse, as compensation
for the attention he had received, which
was refused.
"WelI, sir" concluded he, "since you
will not permit me to recompense you
for your trouble, it is but just that !
should inform you on whom you have
conferred so many obligations, and al
SO 10 add to them by requesting your
assistance in crossing the river. had
been odt yesterday endeavoring to OBJ
tain some information respecting our
enemy, and being alone, ventured too
far from our camp; on my return, Twas
surprised by foraging party, and on.
Iy escaped by my knowledge Of the
roads and the heetness of nv horse.
My name is GEORGE WAsHlNGToN.'
Surprise kept the lstner silent for a
moment; then after unsuc ccessfully re-
peating his invitation to partake of some
refreshments, he fastened to call two
negroes, with whose assistance he pla-
ced the horse on a small raft of timber
that was lying near the door, and soon
conveyed the General to the opposite
side, where he left him to pursue his
way to the camp, wishing him safe
and prosperous journey. On his re-
turn to the house, he found that while
he was engaged in making prepara-
tions for conveying the horse across
the river, his ilustrious visitor had per-
suaded the woman to accept token
of remembrance, which the family are
proud of exhibiting to this day.
The above is one of the many haz-
ards encountered by this truly great
patriot, for the purpose Of transmitting to
posterity the liberty we emmy. Let us
acknowledge the benefits received, by
our endeavors to preserve them in thr
purity; and by keepingin remembrance
the great source whence these blessings
flow; and be enabled to render our
names worthy of being enrolled with
that Of the father of his country.

An Evil Hinted AT.

Did any body ever think to draw in
contrast the characters, habits, useful.
ness, and real social value of two NOR
tails, the one by profession Gentleman,
the oihe. by trade a MECHANIC? 1t
is profitable work; we think, to bring
out strongly, these characteristics, as
existing in the two persons occupying
these relative stations in society, just
to see wherein they differ, and thus fix
an estimate upon the relative value and
importance of each, as regards every
thing that makes MAN and Mans
WoRKs valuable to himself, TO society,
to his country, and to those who are
to come after him.
Wereckon if this was done faithful
ly, and with strict regard to truth, that
your elegantly dressed and intensely
perfumed "genteman" would sink into
insignficance, while your stalwart, har-
dy, Industrious, hard-fsted and clear
Drained MECHANIC, would raise proper
tionably high in station and estimation.
The embrowned skin and coarse jack
ct would be found TO cover more real
worth, than the most delicate article or
the finest French broadcloth.
1t is well, sometimes, to keep these
broad distinctions clearly in our view,
for we cannot disguise the unpleasant
fact, that fine coat and a gold headed
cane will often enable their worthless
possessors togo where leathern apron
and an iron sledge would be refused
an entrance, and would find the navi-
CATION very difficult indeed. This is
getting to be too much the case in this
country, for the credit of our republi-
can institutions and boasted democrat
ic character. The young people, es-
pecially, are beginning to greater ex-
tent than it is comfortable to know, to
pay Difference 10 dress. Worthlesspess

Marriage.

Man and wife are equally concerned
to avoid all offences of each other in the
beginning of their conversation; a very
little thing can blast an infant blossom;
and the breath OF the South can shake
the little rings of the vine, when first
they begin to curl like the locks Of a
new weaned boy; but when by age
and consolidation they stiffen into the
hardness of stem, and have, by the
warm embrace of the sun and the kis-
ses ofheaven, brought forth their clus-
ters, they can endure the storms Of the
North, and the loud noises of temp
est, and yet never be broken: SO are
the early unions OF an unfxed marriage;
watch and observant, jealous and busy,
inquisitive and careful, and aptto take
alarm at every unkind word. After
the hearts of man and wife are endear-
ed and hardened by a mutual confidence
and experience, longer than artificial
pretence can last, there are a great
many remembrances, and some things
present, that dash all little unkindness
in pieces.-Jeremy Taylor. -

A Tale Of Truth.
A REVOLUTIONARY REMINIsCENCE

A REVOLUTIONARY REMINISCENCE
One pleasant evening in the month
Of June, a man was observed entering
the borders Of wood near the Hudson
river; his appearance was that of a per
son above thecommon rank. The inhab
itants of a country village would have
dignifed him with the name of Squire
and from his manner have pronounced
him proud; but those more accustomed
to society would inform you there was
something like military air about him.
His horse painted as il it had been push
ed for some miles, yet from the own
ers frequent stops to caress the patient
animal, he would not be charged with
want of humanity, but seemed to be ac.
tuated by some urgent necessity. The
riders forsaking good road for by
path leading through the woods, ind-
Gated a desire to avoid the gaze of o.
ther travellers. He had not left the
house where he inquired the direction
of the above mentioned path, more than
two hours, before the quietude of the
place was broken by the noise OF dis
tant thunder. He was soon after o.
bliged to dismount, travelling becoming
dangerous as darkness concealed sur
rounding objects. except where the
lightning's terrific flash afforded mo-
mentary view Of his situation. A peal
louder and Of longer duration than any
of the preceding, which now burst O.
yer his head seemingas if it would rend
the woods asunder, was quickly fol-
lowed by heavy fall of rain, which
penetrated the clothing OF the stranger,
ere he could obtain the shelter Of a
large oak, which stood at little dis
tance.
Almost exhausted with the labours OF
the day, he was about making such dis
position of the saddle and over coat, as
would enable him to pass the night
with what comfort circumstances would
admit, when he espied a light glimmer-
ing through the trees. Animated with
the hope of better lodgings, he deter
mined to proceed. The way, which
was steep, became attended with more
obstacles the further he advanced, the
soil being composed Of clay, which the
rain had rendered SO soft that his feet
slipped at every step. By the utmost
perseverance, this difficulty was finally
overcome without any accident, and
he had the pleasure Of finding himself

Preparing for an Expected Evil.

Fraser,in in his history ofPersie, relates
that an acquaintance of his, while re-
sidingin Musselman town, was alarm
ed by hearing, in neighboring house,
a sort of periodical punishment going
on daily. Heavy blows were given,
and person was continually crying
out, "Amaun! amaun! mercy! mer-
cy! have nothing-Heavcn is my
witness, have nothing" Upon in.
quirv, he learned that the sufferer was
a merchant reputed to be very rich,
who afterwards confessed to him, that
the governor of the place was medi-
tating how he should possess himseIfo
share of his wealth, and expecting to
be put 10 the torture, he had resolved
to habituate himselfto the endurance of
pain, in order to resist the threatened
demands. He had brought himself to
bear thousand strokes of stick on
the soles Of his feet, and as he was able
to counterfeit great exhaustion and ag-
ony, he hoped to be able to bear as
many blows as they would venture TO
inflict, short Of death, without conced.
ing any of his money. f

Microscopic Wonders.

Upon examining the edge Of very
sharp lancet with microscope, it will
appear as broad as the back of knife;
rough, uneven, full of notches and fur
rows. An exceedingly small needle
resembles rough iron bar. But the
sting of a bee, seen through The same
instrument, exhibits every where a
most beautiful polish, without the least
blemish or inequality, and it ends in
point too fine to be discerned. The
threads Of fine lawn seem coarser than
the yarn with which ropes are made
for anchors. But silk worms web
appears perfectly smooth and shining,
and every where equal. The smallest
dot that can be made with a pen, ap.
pears irregular and uneven. But little
specks on the wings and bodies of in
sects are found to be most accurately
circular. The finest miniature paint.
ings appear before the microscope rug
ged and uneven, entirely void of beau
ty, either in the drawing or coloring.
The most even and beautiful varnishes
will be found to be mere roughness.
But the nearer we examine the works
of God, even in the least OF his produc.
tions, the more sensible shall we be of
his wisdom and power. In the number
less species Of insects, what proportion.
exactness, uniformity, and symmetry
do we perceive in all organs! what
profusion of coloring! azure, green and
vermiIion, gold, silver, pearls, rubies,
and diamonds; fringe and embroidery
on their bodies, wings, heads, and eve-
ry part! how high the finishing, how in
imitable the polish we every where
| behold.

in purple and fine linen finds crowds oi

Roads and Road Making.

lUduS dllu nOdu Mdkllly.
Professor Gillespie says in his book
on Roads: A straight road over an un-
even and hiIly country may, at first
view, when merely set upon the map,
be pronounced 10 be a bad road; for
the straightness must have been OBJ
tanned either by submitting to steep
slopes in ascending the hills and de.
scending into the valleys, or these nat.
ural obstacles must have been over
come by incurring great and unne.
cessary expense in making deep cut
tings and filings.
A good road should wind around
these hills instead ofrunnlng over,them,
and this it may often do without at all
Increasing its length. For ifa hemis-
phere (such as half a bullet be placed
so as to rest upon its plane base, the
halves Of great circles which join two
opposite points of this base are all e.
quail, whether they pass horizontally
or vertically. Or let an egg be laid
upon table, and it will be seen that if
level line be Traced upon it from one
end to the other, it will be no longer
than the line traced between the same
points, but passing over the top. Pre-.
cisely SO may the curving road around
a hill be often no longer than the
straight one over it; for the latter load
is straight only with reference to the
vertical plane which passes through il
and is curved with reference TO a hori.
zontal plane; while the former level
road, though curved as to the vertical
plane, is straight as to a horizontal one
Both lines thus curve, as we call the
latter one straight in preference only
because its vertical curvature is less ap-
parent to our eyes.
The difference in length between a
straight road and one which is slightly
curved is very small. If road be-
tween two places, ten miles apart,
were made to curve so that the eve
could nowhere see further than quar-
ter of a mile of it at once, its length
would exceed that ola perfectly straight
road between the same points by only
about one hundred and fifty yards.
But even if the level and curved
roads were very much longer than the
straight and steep one, it would almost
always be better to adopt the former;
for on it horse could safely and rapid
ly draw his full load, while on the other
he could carry only part of his load up
the hill, and must diminish his speed in
descendingit. it. AS general rule, the
horizontal length of road may be ad-
vantageously increased, to avoid an
ascent by at least twenty times the
perpendicular height which is thus to
be saved; that is, to escape hill hun
dred feet, it would be proper for the
road to make such Circuit as would in
crease its length two thousand feet
The MATHEMATICAL axiom that "a straight
line is the shortest distance between
two points," is thus seen TO be an un-
safe guide in road making, and less ap-
pro pirate than the paradoxical proverb,
that "the longest way around is the
shortest way home."

The only reply Snooks made to this

The Old mestead.
BY MISS ALICE CAREY.

BY MISS ALICE CAREY.
When first the skies grow warm and bright,
And flash with gold the hours,
And, in her pale, faint robes. the Spring
Is calling up the flowers;
When children, with unslippered feet,
Go forth with hearts of glee,
To the straight and even burrows
Where the yellow corn must be;
What beautiful embodiment
OF ease, devoid of pride,
Is the good old-fashioned homestead,
With doors still open wide!
But when the happiest time is come,
That to the year belongs,
Ofuplands bright with harvest gold,
And meadows full of songs;
When fields ofyet unripened corn,
And daily garnering stores,
Remind the thrifty husbandman
Of ampler threshing floors
How pleasant, from the din and dust
Of the thoroughfare aloof,
Seems the old-fashioned homestead,
With steep and messy roof!
When home the woodman plods, with axe
Upon his shoulder swung,
And in the knotted apple tree
Are scythe and sickle hung;
When light the swallows twitter
Meath the rafters of the shed,
And the table on the ivied porch
With decent care is spread
The hearts are lighter and feer
Than beat in the populous town,
In the old-fashioned homestead,
With gables sharp and brown!
When the flowers of summer perish
In the cold and bitter rain,
And the little birds with weary wings
Have gone across the maini
When curls the blue smoke upward
Toward the bluer sky,
And cold along the naked hills
And white the snow-drifts lie
In legends of love and glory
They forget the cloud and storm,
In the old-fashioned homestead,
With heart-stone ample and warm
