Speaking of conchs and their diving in a
letter, forgot to mention an extraordinary
submarine fete. A few months since, Capt
Hoyt, then the agent for the Underwriters
was sailing down TO the light ship some
ten miles distant, the sea became very rough
aud he became very sick. While leaning
over the boat side and seeking open-mOull
relief, he ejecled into the deep blue sea- .
mOiithful of artificial teeth. The loss was
very serious one affecting his beauty and
mastication; and he sought an expert diUcr
on his return, explained, as near as he could
the distance and direction 10 the place Of the
accident, and offered him a reward of two
doubloons 10 find the teeth. The conch-diue,
put out in his sail boat, spent dag 10 sub
marine explorations in 30 feet water, and re,
turned with the teeth in his 'breeches pock.

A poor fellow who had spent hundreds Of
dollars at grocery, being one day faint and
feeble, and out Of change. asked the landlord
to trust him with glass Of liquor.
No. was the snrly reply i never make a
practice Of doing such things
The poor fellow turned TO gentleman who
was sitting by, and whom he had known in
better days, saying, Sir, will you lend me a
sixpencep
Certainly was the reply.
The landlord with alacrity placed the decan-
ter and glass before him; he took pretty
good horn, and after having swallowed it, re-
placed the glass with evident satisfaction, he
turned to the man who had lent him the six
pence, and said

The Science of Candle Burning

Before you put your candle out, look
at it. 1t has been burning some time un-
snufed, and gives little or no hight; the
wick is long,and is topped by heavy black
clot, a lump Of unconsumed carbon take
the candlestick in your hand, and move it
gently from side to side; the superauous
wick burns away, and the candle is again
bright. When you ask yourself why
this is, you learn that flame is hollow,
and it admits no oxygen, which is neces-
sary for combustion the wick which il
surrounds remains uneonsumed, and d-
minishes the light. When the fame, by
motion, leaves the wick exposed at inter-
walls 10 the oxygen Of the atmosphere, il
speedily burns away. Note the valuable
deduction from this fact : the formation Of
wick which constantly turns outward
and reaches The exterior air, and SO gives
us candle requiring no snuaing. There
is much philosophy in The burning Of a
candle. The wick you may think, is in
tended TO burn and give light but this is
not exactly the fact. The wick is simply
tosbring the melted talIow, or oil if in a
z lamp. into that finely divided state in
which it is best fitted for combustion.-
The heat applied 10 light the candle de-
y composes into its constituents the small
quantity of tallow next the wick; heat
and light are produced in the operation,
and the heat so produced carries on the
decomposition.-[ The Builder.

CoNJURrNG MADE EAsY.-The celebrated
bottle-feat of pouring great variety OF wines
and liquors from a common glass-botIle, is
both simple and silly. The common glass
bottle, borrowed from the audience, is Of
course not the one used OH such occasions,
but is exchanged for another, made Of jap.
aimed tin, and furnished internally with re-
ceptacles for the different kinds OF liquors.
Each receptacle has valve; and these
valves may be opened or closed at pleasure,
by stops on the outside OF the bottle, arrang-
ed for the fingers like the keys of a musical
instrument The compartments having no
connection with the mouth OF the bottle, ex-
cept by the valves, the bottle may at any
time be rinsed with water, aud more liquor
poured out.

The Difference.

We had thought so distinguished a
character as Mrs. BIoomer was to be be-
ieved when she puts forth her words
But it seems that such is not the case.
The Albany Transcript has the following:
Mrs. Bloomer imagines that the rea~
son women differ from men, is because
they are schooIed and educated different
ly. Nothing, however, could be more
unfounded. Girls differ from boys not
incidentally, but radically. The first
thing boy does, after he is weaned, is
to stradde the banisters and ride down
stairs. The first thing a girl sets her
heart on is a doll, and set of half
Aedged cups and saucers. Girls are given
10 neatness and hate soled garments of
all kinds; boys, on the contrary, sci a
high value on dirt, and are never so hap.
py as when sailing ship IN mud pud-
die. Mrs. BIoomer may reason as she
may, but she will find in the end, that
nature is stronger than either philosophy
or suspenders.'

JamIe'S ON the Stormy Sea.
Ere the twilight bat was fitting,
In the sunset, at her knitting,
Sang lonely maiden, sitting,
Underneath her threshold tree;
And, ere daylight died before us,
And, the vesper stars shone Ger us,
Fitful rose her tender chorus
"Jamie's on the stormy sea-
Warmly shone the sunset glowing;
Sweetly breathd the young flowers blowing
Earth, with beauty overfowing,
Seemed the home of love to be;
As those angel tones ascending,
With the scene and season blending,
Ever had the same low ending
"Jamie's on the stormy sea-
Curfew bells remotely ringing,
Mingled with that sweet voice singing,
And the last red ray seemed clinging
Lingerly to tower and tree;
Nearer as came, and nearer,
Finer rose the notes and clearer;
Oh twas heaven itself to hear her
''Jamie's on the stormy Sea-
Blow, ye west winds blandly hover
Der the bark that bears my lover;
Gently blow, and bear him over
To his own dear home and me;
For when night winds bend the willow,
Sleep forsakes my lonely pillow,
Thinking of the foaming billow-
"Jamie's on the stormy sea-"
How could but list, but linger,
To the song, and hear the si=ger,
Sweetly wooing heaven to bring her
Jamie from the stormy sea;
And while yet her lips did name me,
Forth sprang-my heart o'ercame me
''Grieve no more, sweet, I am Jamie,
Homo returned to love and thee %
