grew rather hungry and determined to
have something to eat. The first house
we passed | made dash at; but when
got to the gate l saw the old lady sitting
in her bare feet with her hair streaming
over her shoulders, and little scabby
faced child beside her, and turned aside.
My companion, however, was desperate.
He was hungry and would have something
to eat, so IN he went. Dinner was speed
lily procured, and an excellent one il was
good enough for President. The old
lady and two young ones--for there were
two blushing damsels in the house, and
the whole family were very intel
ligent, and we had a pleasant tete-a-,ete
and fine meal. The old lady had Just
taken of her shoes TO pare her corns. and
was also combing her hair at that critical
moment, and the baby had been sick and
fallen down and hurt its face the day be-
fore. When l become acquainted with
the family | liked them very much, and
confess was deceived-grossly deceived
by appearances, and shall try and Judge
better in future. w.

investigate the question whether the en-
Ployment Of liquid suIphurous acid for
moisten,ng the hands would produce a
sensation OF GOODNESS when they are i'm
mersed IN the melted metal, immersed
my hands, previously molst-ned with
sui phurous acid, IN the melted lead, and
experienced sensation OF decided cold.
l repeated the experiment OF immersing
the hand in melted lead md in fused cast
iron Before experimenting with the
melted IRON, I placed a stick, previously
moistenrd with water, IN tn. stream OF
liquid metal, and on Withdrawing il,
found it 10 BE- almost as wet as it was be
fore, scarcely any OF the moisture was
evaporated. The moment drv pi-ce Of
wood was placed in contact with the
heated metal, combustion took place. M.

vessels Of the liquid metal. and passed
our fingers several times backwards and
forwards through stream Of metal flow
ing from the furnace, the heat from the
radiation Of the fused metal being at the
same time almost unbearabe. We va
ried these experiments for upwards of
two hours; and Madame Colvet who as
sisted at these experiments. permitted
her child, a gill OF nine years Of age, to
dip her hand in crucible of red hot met

PAYNE DEBTS. - One OF our religious
exchanges has the following strong re-
marks on this subject. They drive the
nail into the head and Clinch it:
"Men may sophisicate as they please,
they can never make it right, and all the
laws in the universe cannot make it right
for them, not to pay their debts. There
is sin in this neglect as clear and as de-
serving church discipline. as is in stealing
or false swearing-He who violates his
promises TO pay, or withholds the pay
ment of debt, when it is IN his power to
meet his engagements, ought to be made
to feel that, in the sight oil all honest men,
he is aswindler.-R-lig ion may lie very
comfortable cloak under which to hide !;
but il religion does not make man 'deal
JUSTLY it Is not worth having"
