Addin Ballou tells the following anec-
dote: "a worthy old colored woman, in the
city Of New York, was one day walking
along the street, quietly smoking her pipe.
A jovial sailor, rendered little mischievous
by liquor, came saving down, and when OPP
posite the old woman. sancily pushed her
aside, and with pass OF his hand, knocked
the pipe out Of her mouth. He then halted
to hear her fret at his trick, and enjoy a
laugh at her expense. But what was his
astonishment when she meekly picked up
the pieces Of her broken pipe, without the
least resentment in her manner; and giving
him dignifed look Of mingled sorrow,
kindness, and pity. said, God forgive you,
my son, as | do 1t touched tender
chord in the heart Of the rude tar. He felt
ashamed, condemned. and repentant. The
tear started in his eye: he must make repa-
ration. He heartily confessed his error;
and thrlsting both hands into his full peck

exclaiming, God bless you, kind mother;
I'll never do so again.

The Nnaatln-.

The interesting pOetical fiction connected
with the argOnaut or paper nautilus, where
in It IL represented as sailing on the surface
Of the sea, its fragile she'll forming the hull
Of its vessel, the two expanded membra-
nous arms being erected and acting as sails,
while the six taPering arms We're used as
oars, has, for ages, rendered that animal an
object Of interest," and notwithstanding that
these particulars have been proved fictitious,
recent researches into its true history have
shown the mollusk 10 be no less deserving
consideration from its everyday actions,
than from the exploded functions POLITICALLY
ascribed to it. From the excessive thin
ness OF the beautiful she'll, to which, by the
way, the animal has no muscular attach
ment, and its extreme fragility, it is con-
stantly liable to fracture by being tossed
about at the mercy Of the waves. When
this happens, and it is no unusual occur
renee. the animal instinctively repairs the
fracture by new deposition Of shelly mat
ter to the broken portion, by means Of the
membranous mantle. This circumstance,
observed in number Of argonauts kept in
confinement in an open cage sunk in the
Bay of Messina, by Madame Power, re.
moved the doubts Of naturaliSts as to the
animal being really the architect Of its OWE
habitation; since the regular increase in the
size of the she'll to correspond with the
growth of the animal was witnessed, a:

Mr.. ]. Scott Russell has thus lucidly en-
planned one Of the causes OF bad qualities in
the construction Of room. He shows that
in a large square room, OF the usual form.
the refexion Of the same sound is carried
to the speakers ear by different paths and
in different periods Of time the result Of
which, is the confusion Of successive
sounds and syllables with each other, and
so prolific cause Of indistinct hearing. Ii
requires another principle to afford the rem
edy for these evils, which MIR. Russell be.
lieves to be quite new. He calls it the prin-
ciple of non-reaexion and lateral accumu-
lation OF the sound wave. 1t was original
ly suggested 10 him by the observation Of o
similar phenomenon in the wave Of the first
order in water. This wave he considers 10
be the type of the sound wave; and on ex
animation, he finds experimental evidences
of the same phenomenon in the later wave
lie has observed that at angles below Ass
the sound wave is no longer completely re
fiected from the surface on which it impin
ges and, that when the obliquity Of tn,
wave TO the surface is 50', phenomenon
follows of total non-reflexion, and the wav,
continues merely to roll along the surface
in direction parallel TO it. This fact fur
nishes ready means to remedy the evils s
often produced by the refexions, and echo
and interference of sound in public build
ings. Wherever it is possible to place fla
or curved surfaces at such angles that tn
direction of the sound shall be very obliqu
to the surface, it may be harmlessly dispc
sed Of. and prevented from injurious refe,
ion. This is exactly what the stalls Of
choir, the side chapels Of cathedral, an
the partitions OF boxes in an opera-houst
do so successfully for buildings Of laIg
class. The same principle enables MI
Russell to explain the whispering gallery {
St. Paul's (Which is circular), and anoths
equally celebrated, mentioned by Saunder
which is perfectly straight. The same priI
ciple also explains the conveyance Of SCUM
along the smooth surface of lake, an
over the fat surface Of a sandy desert ;

OF passions sighted or betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossom but 20 fade.
