How the Dutch Widow got a Youthful

BY INvIzTBLE GREEN.

In a little frame house near the eastern
boundary of that portion Of the Queen City,
known as Bremen, lived once upon tiIne'
Kathleen Won Stedle, as fair and as lively a
young widow, as ever sighed for second hus-
band. Kathleen bore the seal of her ancest-

q country where females were not treated as
dolls, and where women considered il duty

quently, she was what might be termed fully

tiuts, with the tavorites of the orchard: hel
no,e hung from between her eyes like crimson

and brown linen, vas as symmetrical as wa

The MythiC Sea.


For ages there has existed myth concern
ing Northern Ocean. whose shores we're the
impenetrable barriers Of ice, and whose waters
held a life and music all its own. The Scan
dinavians rememember the myth, and 10 this
day in Sweden and Norway, and the North
ern Islands the great unknown sea has existed
in the belief OF every supersttious mind. To
us, who reason so philosophically that nothing
is hidden, it was not deemed probable that
such BODY of water did or could exist; and
though many navigatOrs assert their belief IN
the myth, il has not had sufficient data TO claim
attention. A few minds, keen from obserSa-
tion and sagaciOus from nature, still clung to
the ancient story and suffer ed il not to die
One Of these minds was DR.. Kane, who now
returns home with tidngs that the lost sea is
found! Our readers doubtless pursued the
narrative of the Kane expedition with breath
less attention, and from il learned that the in
trepid navigator left his vessel fast in the al
most impenetrabe mountains of ice in latitude
78 deg. as min. north. pushing his way in
sledges and on foot to latitude 80 deg. 40 min
where be stood upon the shores of, to his
eyes, limitless sea. Three thousand square
miles did he scan with the eye and glass, and
yet no bounds to that expanse OF water were
foand; for 6fty.two hours did heavy gale
from the north hesve up the heavy surf, and
YET it brought down not particle Office show
ing that around the pole all was ocean life in
stead of frigid DEATH Thus was the veil pen

specuIator, and nov the world is busy at the
resolution of this wonderful problem of q

PhilusOph1 Of Rain.

To understand the philosophy OF beautiful
and often sublime phenomenon, so often wit
messed and so very essential to the existence Of
plants and animals, a few facts derived from
observation and long train Of experiments.
must De remembered:
/. Were the atmosphere here. every where
and at all times Of uniform temperature, We
should mover have ran or hail, or snow. The
water absorbing by it in evaporation, from the
sea and the earth's surface, would decend in
an impereeptible vapor,or cease to be absorbed
by the air when il was once fully saturated.
The absorbing power of The atmosphere.
and consequently its capacity to retain humid
ily, is Proporlionately greater in wsrm than in
cold air. The air near the surface Of the earth
is warmer than it is in the region Of the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the earth the col
der dc We find the atmOsphre. Hence the per-
JetuaI snow on very high mountains in the
hottest climate.
Now, when from continued evaporation, the
air is highly saturated with vapor, tho it be
invisible and the sky clOudless, ifits tempera-
ture is suddenly reduced, by cold currents de-
scending from abo5 e,or rushing from a higher
to a lower latitude, its capacity TO retain mois-
ture is diminished, clouds are formed, and
rain is the result. 1t condences, it eools:a and
like spongue filled with water and COMPRESS
ed, pours out the water which It's diminished
capacity cannot hold.
How singular and yet how simple is Che
philosophy Of rain. But what 0mhiscienee
could have devised such an admirable arrange
menL for watering the earth. - ia ss-r

Burning a Dead Body.

Much excitement was caused in the upper
part Of the First Ward, yesterday afternoon,
by the intelligence that one of the residents on
the Lake Shore was about to burn the body OF
his wife She had died duriag the previous
night. Application was made at the Police
Office 10 prevent the proceeding, and Sheriff
Conover hearing Of it, hurried to the spot
where the funeral pire was said tobe. 1t
proved to be near the residence Of Gustayus
Pfeil, Russian by birth, and a resident Of our
city for some years past. In compliance with
his wife's parting request, he was preparing to
burn the corpse, ann had several men employ
ed pning up wood near the beach Of the Lake,
below bis house, for that purpose. r 3 taai
Sheriff Conoyer informed him that no such
proceedings would be tolerated in this sommu =
nity, and. after some discussion, Mr.. Pfeil
Welded the point, and consented to have the re-
mains Of his wife inferred. The affair occasion
ed no little talk aud incipient excitement about
the city. Mr.. Pfeil and his deceased wife were
both born in Russia, ard We learned that
when they married they exchanged promises
that when either died the survivor would bum
the BODY. This promise Mrs, Pfel,. on he
death bed, recalled to her husband and claim
ed its ful6llment. Mr. Pfeil seemed TO think
hat it was his duty to respect her dying wish
and that he violated no Law, in doing so. L
was represented 10 him, however,5y the sher
| if and others, that Sneh an ACT would equ
ally revolving, to The feelings and rePugnan
to The customs of this community, and nigh
lead to dangerous degree Of excitement VII
ereupon he abandoned the point, and coHsen t

Death Of the Flowers.
Y BYRAl

7he RelanehOly daysare come,
The saddest Of the year,
OfwaiIing Winds and naked woods,
And meadows brown and sere;
Heaped in the hollows Of the grove
The wiihered leaves lie dead
They rustic to the eddying gust
And to the rabit's tread.
The robin and the wren are flown,
And from the shrub, the jay,
And from the wood top calls the crow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are the HOwers the fair young flowers,
That lately sprung, and stood,
In brighter light and softer airs,
A beauteous sisterhoodS
Alasl they all are in their graves,
The gentle race Of flowers;
And lying in their lOwly bed, Ia
With the fair and good Of ours,
The rain is falling whore they lie,
But cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy earth,
The lovely ones again.
The Wild flower aad the violet,
They perished long sgO,
And the wild rose aud the orchards died
Amid the summers glow;
But on the bill the goleu rod,
And the aster n the wood,
And the yellow sun-ajwer by the brook,
In autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven,
A falls the plague or men;
And the brightness Of their smile was gone
From upland, glade, and glen.
And now, when comes the calm, mild day,
And still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home
When the sound OF hopping nuts ia heard,
Though all the trees are still,
And twiuke in the smoky light
The waters Of the ri ...
The south vino searches lVE Ihe nV"e'S
1f Whose fragrance late he bore,
An sighs to find them in the wood
And by tn, stream NJ more.
Aud then think Of one who in
Her youthful beauy died ......
Thefair meek blossom that grew up o.
Aud faded by by my side;
In the cold, moist earth, we laid her,
.,a When the forest cast the leaf,
.J ,Ail we wept that one 30 lovely,
Should have life so brief
Y,t not unmeet it was, that one
Like that young friend Of ours;
So gentle and SO beautiful rs lH
Should perish with the flowers.
