APPEARANCE OF THE EARTH FROM BAt-

giving an account Of his last ascension from
Baltimore, says of the appearance Of the EARN

q don't know that ever limited heretofore
that the acronaut may well be the most skep-
teal man about the rotundity of the earth.
Philosophy imposes the truth upon us, but the
view Of the earth from the elevation of bal

the deeper part of which is that directly under
ones feet. AS we ascend, the earth beneath
us seems to recede-actually to sink away,
while the horizon gradually and gracefully
lifts diversified slope, stretching away far
Their and farther to line that, at the highest

A TURKISH Will A testator left to his
eldest son one-half of his horses, to his second
son one-third of his horses, to his third son
one-ninth Of his horses.-The testator had
seventeen horses. The executor did not know
what to do, as seventeen will not divide by
two, by three, nor by nine. A Dervish came
up on horseback, and the executor consulted
him. The Dervish said Take my horse
and add him to the others There were
then eighteen horses. The executor then
gave'to the eldest son one-half, g; to the sec
ond one-third, 6; to the third son one-ninth,

Do you kape Pisin in yer house q

This was the earnest enquiry of a son of the
Emerald Isle, who had in great trepidation
thrust his head into the bed room Of the late
Major A, in one of the counties of West
ern New York, in the morning, just as the
sun was rising. He was fresh importation,
and had but recently been added to the Majors
farm laborers. 1t was previous to the temper
ance movement, when the bottle Of tanzy
bltters was common appurtenance of farm
houses. Patrick had kept vigilant eye on
the bottle, and marked it down as the
Sportsman would say, in the kitchen cupboard.
letting up early to start the fires, and finding
himself alone in the kitchen, he went to the
cupboard, and Welcomed in two or three
hearty draughts Of wllas he supposed to be the

A Good Recipe---Rice Balls.

A few days since we sat at the table Of a
Connecticut lady, who has fortunately been
rightly educated 10 look upon the care Of her
own household affairs and the proper instruc-
ton of her own children, as higher and nober
occupation than nursing poodles and lap-dogs,
or pursuing the gay baubles Of fashionable life.
We need not say that her house was IN order,
and that under her superintendent, food was
prepared and the table arranged to please both
eve and taste. But we did not commence this
to write about household arrangements in gen
eral-for, although we have an eye upon such
matters wherever we go, we leave the subject
10 our fair correspondents who have promised
rs aid in this line-we now only wish to give
what we call the best method of cooking rice
TO our taste. AT our request, the lady above
referred TO, furnished us the following recipe,
which is simple and good we know.
Boil rice until it is soft, and while warm
make il into cakes Of fiat balls. Dip these
balls into beaten egg, and then roll them into
Indian meal till thoroughly coated. This done,
FRY them in lard, which il better than butter
for this purpose. Serve them with sauce, or
with butter or cream and sugar.
Try them, ladies', and in return for this re-
cpe, send US one Of your best.-AgriculturaI

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT. A correspon-
dent of the Greenfield Republic relates the
following interesting instance of maternal af-
lection in animals =
A few days since, Mr.. Joel Rice of Con-
way, discovered on a tree, what he supposed
to be a crows nest. But on examination, he
found, instead of a brood of unfedged corn
pullers, litter of flying squirrels. Not a
little pleased with his booty, he thought it a
fine opportunity to secure an acceptable pres
ent for his children. Having descended from
the tree, he stood at the foot contemplating
his prize, when the old one made her appear
ance. A mothers temerity, when her off
spring are in danger, knows no limits. She
jumped upon his hand, seized one of her young
ones, and endeavored to take it away. For a
moment, Mr.. r. resisted her claim-yet only
for moment. Sympathy for parents ago
ny made an appeal, and was successful-his
better feelings triumphed, and the dam gather
ing into her furry folds a little one sought a
new home for her family. After a short time
she returned, and then again, till she had TAX

SlOshing About.

The Judges often tell stories on the mem
bers Of the bar, albeit they are much oftener
the subjects Of stories themselves. We lately
heard one of the former, illustrating the pro-
priety of letting we'll enough alone by the
following anecdote
An ARRAY case was on trial in the Circuit
Court of Pike county, in which some six or
eight peace-breakers were represented by al
most as many lawyers, each of whom, in turn,
put the only witness for the State through the
tortures of a tedious cross-examination. Nat
-, well known Montgomery practitioner,
was counsel for a big black fellow in the
crowd who answered TO the mama of Salton-
stall. AS to this defendant, the only proof
which was elected on the examination in
chief of the witness for the prosecution was
that-to use the peculiar phraseology of the
NARRATOR while the rest on 'em was cuss-
in and clinchin' and pairing off for reg lar
r'yal, SaltOnStaH Jest kept slOslin' about This
expression was repeated half dozen times
SaltonaaH kept sloshiu' about. The Solicitor
Saltonstall was only moving about drunk,
among the combaiants, and the former did
not press for an explanation. Presently, how
ever, it came to Mats turn TO crOss-examine
for his client; and as he had received quite a
handsome fee, considering how things stood,
he felt bound to make something of a demon
stration.' So quoth he, with the avenger of
injured innocence:
Come. witness, say over again, what 1t
was that Mr.. SaltonsiaI had 10 do with the
AFFAIR."
SaltonstalI! Why, I've told you several
times the rest on 'em clnched and paired off,
bot SaltonstaH, he jist kept sloslim' about
'Ah, my good fellow exclaimed Nat,
quite testify, 'we want to know what that is.
1t isn't exactly legal evidence in the shape
you putt Tell Us what you mean by sloshin'
about
Well answered the witness, very DELHI
erately, I'll try. You see John Brewer and
Sykes they clinched and fout. That's 10 a
legle form, amt it =
8 Oh, yes = said Nat 60 ON
Abney and Blackman then pitched into one
another, and Blackman bit off piece of Alb
ney's lip-that's legle, too, amt it 2
Proceed =
Simpson, and Bill Stones and Murray
was all together, on the ground, btin'
gougin', and kickin' one another-that's le
gle, too, is it
Very but 60 on!'
And SaltonstaIl made it his business tt
walk backwards and forwards through the
crowd, with a big stick in his hand, ana
knock dorm eUery loose man IN the crOtcd a,
fast as he come 10 'cm! That's what | cal

Nat is of opinion, now, that unless priao
Jacie case is made out by prosecution, on thu
direct examination of their witness, it is quite
as we'll for the defendant to waive his right t,

"Couie back, come back, my chIldhood."--I NJ. l..
I'd not recall my childhood
With all its sweet delight,
It's simple bird-like gladness,
1t was not always bright.
Even morning had her tear drops,
And spring her clouded sky,
And on the fairest cradle
I've seen the shadows lie.
I'd not recall my childhood.
Though tender memories throng
Around its rosy portals,
Prelusive to hfe's song;
The full voice living chorus,
Is swelling round me now,
And a roster light is resting
Upon my maiden brow.
Ih1ve made changefu journey
Up the hill Of life since morn,
have gathered flowers and blossoms,
I've been pierced by many thorn;
But from out of the core of sorrow,
have plucked jewel rare,
The strength which mortals gather
In their ceaseless strife with care.
Now grasp life's burning breaker,
And howe'er the bubbles glow,
I'll pause not till I've tasted
The deepest wave below;
Though bitter dregs may mingle,
The crimson tide shall roll.
In full and fearless currents,
Through the fountains Of my soul.
No I'd not 60 back to childhood,
From the radient flush of noon,
And when evening closes round me
l crave one only boon;
Amid the valleys darkness,
Its dangers and its dread,
The signal star Of Judah
To shine above my head.

IMPORTANT TO MAN.-Why is it that the
rainbow and cloud come over us with beauty
that is not Of earth, and then pass away and
leave US to muse on their faded loneliness
Why is it that the stars, which hold their
festival around the midnight throne, are set
above the grasp Of our limited faculties, forever
hooking us with unapproachable glory! And
why is it that the bright forms of human beauty
are presented to our view and taken from u.s.
leaving the thousand streams Of affection to
flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts
We are born to higher destiny than that o.
earth.
There is realm where the rainbow never
fades, where the stars will set out before us
like islands that slumber on the ocean, ant
where the beautiful being that passes before
US like the meteor, will stay in our presence
forever.
