HYDROCARBONS FACT.

The Indigo plant was native of South Car
olina. 1t grew spontaneously among the weeds
and woods. More than one hundred years ago
the planters there commenced its cultivation.
In the year l746, South Carolina exported to
Great Britain 100000 pounds, and the Parlia-
nent granted bounty of ~ cents per pound to
induce its greater cultivation. In 1887, when
that ordinance was passed, Indigo was one of
the staples of South Carolina, and we believe, Of
Georgia, also. Now in ls49 not a pound of In
digo is raised in South Carolina, or, as far as we
know, in all the South A plant which IS indig-
enous to that region, and which in its early cul.
tivation was exceedingly profitable has been
driven from existence by the cheap labor of In
diu. Great Britain now pays seven millions of
dollars year for Indigo raised in India.

TEE DIFFICULTY OF NAVI-
eating THE AIR.

No body can float in the all MESS it be eight
hundred times lighter than wct'f; such body
therefore, must of course carysOO times less
power than might be used in steamboat. But
the utmost power that steamtui can carry will
not enable it to make the least Roadway against
wind blowing 200 miles an houi How then is
it possible for body with 800 lines less power
to make any Roadway against Even a gentle
wind blowing three miles an ho'f'
In navigating the nj, we can o'tain no fulerum
but the air itself, and that is yielding, and but
small portion of even the powet which can be
carried could prove effective.
If a body SO comparatively SoId as water
causes u loss Of power the losl must be vastly
greater in body eight hundfd times lighter
and exceedingly elastic.

SMILES.

Smiles arc like dew. drops in the sun,
That glitter while they stay,
But one unkind, ungenerous word,
Will drive the charm away.
10 youths gay hours, gentle smile
Stole Ger my sunny brow,
But Hopes delusive dream has chilled
The faitest prospects now.
Alas those smiles of youth are DER,
Those Joyous days gone by; 5i-
Why, then, rauAnin at sorrows Ahrine,
or Ger misfortune sigh?
No, let US brave the whirlwind's shock,
The storms Of passion dare,
And let our years glide gently on,
Unknown to earthly care. ...

A ROMANTIC PAGE FROM
HISTORY.

In one of these encounters between the ad-
vanced guard Of the French and the rear guard
of the Austrians, one Of the young Amazons,
Felicte Ferni2, who bore the orders of DumOu.
rez to the head Of his columns, found herself
accompanied only with handful of French Hus-
sars, surrounded bye detachment of the enemy's
hulans. Avoiding with difficulty the sabres
around her, she turned her bride with group
of hussars to rejoin the column, when she per-
ceived young officer of the Belgian Volunteers
who had been thrown from his horse by shot,
defending himself with his saber against the
hulans who sought to STAY him. Although this
officer was unknown to her, Felicltc rushed to
his succor, killed with two pistol shots, two of
the hulans, put the others to flight, iismounted
from her horse, relieved the wounded man, con.
fded him TO her hussars, accompanied him her
self TO the military hospital and returned to re-
join her General. This young officer was named
VaDderwalen, Left in the hospitals of Brussels

got his wounds, but could never forget the hero

A SINGULAR PHYSIOLOGICAL
FACT.

The transference of vitality which appears to
take place when young persons are habtually
placed in contact with the aged, is not a nursery
fiction. 1t is well attested by very competent
authorities. "a not uncommon cause" OBJ
serves DR.. James COPELAND, cot depressed vital
power, is the young sleeping with the aged.
This fact, however explained, has been long re
marked, and is well known to every unprecedented
observer. have on several occasions met with
the counterpart of the following case:- Il was
few years ago, consulted about pale, scky,
and thin boy, of about four or five years of age
He appeared to have no specific ailInent. but
but there was a slow and remarkable decline
OF flesh and strength, and Of the energy of tho
fnnctlons-what his mother very aptly termed
gradual blight. After inquiry into the history
OF the case, it came out that he had been ye;v
robust and plethoric child up to his third year,
when his grandmother very aged person, took
him to sleep with her; that he soon afterwards
lost his good Looks. and that he had continued to-
decline progressively ever since, notwithstand-
ing medical treatment directed him to sleep
apart fIom the aged parent, and prescribed gen.
tie tonics, change Of air, &C.; the recovery was
rapid. But 1t is not in children only that debili
ty is induced by this mode of obstracting vital
power Young females married to veIy old men
suffer in similar manner, although seldom to
SO great an extent; and instances have come to
my own knowledge where they have suspected
the cause of their debiltated state. These facts
are often well known to the aged themselves,
who consider the indulgence favorable to lon
gevity, and thereby illustrate the SeIfshness
which, in some persons, increases with their
years." Every medical practitioner is well aware
of the fact and parents generally are advised
not to allow their infants to sleep with aged per-

A CTIILD,s DEATH.

"The mother gave in tears and pain,
The flowers that she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again,
In the field of life above."- LongteVoi0.
The death of little child is to the mothers
heart like dew on plant from which bud has
persisted. The plant lifts up its head in fresh
ened greenness to the morning light; so the
mothers soul gathers from the dark sorrow thro'
which she has passed, frcshening of her heav-
emily hopes.
