ViOletta and AllaudOrf.

Vialetta started conyulsively, and turned her
tear-drenched eyes wildly upon the speaker
for to her there seemed something strangely ia
miliar in those low rich tones. Their eyes met
his beaming with love and tenderness, hers
cleaning with wild uncertainty.
- Violetta!"
"Allandorf" !"
And the beautiful girl sank, from excess Of
joy, upon his noble heart, throbbing with the
pure, holy, delicious love of other days. Allan
dorf bent tenderly over her. and bathed her pure
white temples with the gushing tears of deep,
though sudden joy. While doing this, yioletta $
father, Rip Van Snort was seen approaching the
the lovers with fail Allandorf saw the aged
patriarch, and. with one leap, cleared the ban
nisters and rushed down stairs. But Van Snort
was not TO be thus tdone." He put after the
flying Allandori, and just as he was turning the
corner of the red barn, gave him lift with the
fail that placed him on the "tother side of or
dan" Violetta, driven to distraction, threw
herself upon the grass, and for a long long hour,
was deaf to every consolation.

EXPANDING THE CHEsr.-Those in wealthy
circumstances. or who pursue sedentary en-
ployment within DOORS generally use their lungs
but very little, breathe but very little into the
chest, and thus, independently Of positions. con-
tract wretchedly narrow, small chest, and lay
the foundation for the loss of health and beauty.
All this can be perfectly obviated by little at
tention to the manaer of breathing Recollect,
the lungs are like bladder in their construc-
ton and can be stretched open to double their
ordinary size, with perfect immunity from con-
sumption. The agent, and the only agent re-
quired is the common air we breathe, supposing,
however, that no obstacle exists, external to the
chest, such lacing tying it around with
stays, or tight dress, or having shoulders lay
upon it. On rising in the morning place your
self in an erect posture, your chest thrown
back. and shoulders entirely off the chest; now
inhale suck all the air you can, to fill the
chest to the very bottom of it, that no more
can be got in now hold in your breath and
throw your arms off behind, holding in your
breath as long as you please Done in cold
room is better, because the air is much denser
and will act more powerfully in expanding the
chest. Exercising the chest in this manner it
will enlarge the capacity and size of the lungs

The HEssIAN BILL.-The bill for the enlist
ment of 10000 Germans has awakened protrac-
ted discussion in the British Parliament. Mr..
Miner Gibson said the enlistment of foreign
mercenaries independently oftheir governments,
violated their principle of neutrality, and might
be taken advantage of by Russia TO hire priva-
teers in the United States. The Foreign Enlist
ment Bill was read third time in the Commons
on Friday night, and passed by majority of 38.
The measure is strongly repngnans to the feel
ings Of the people. 1t is regarded as job to
put money in the pockets Of our cousins OF
Hanover and Gotha, in exchange for few thou
sands of their spare subjects.

The DARK BEvERAGE.-Rev. DR.. Tying OF
New York. in late speech in that city uttered
the following eloquent and truthful remarks.
He quoted the poet who styled rum " the dark
beverage of hell" and then asked
Did Heaven ever mix such cup for man ?
Amid all the dews that descend from Her.
mons SHOWS upon Zion's happy top, does one
single drop of Alchohol come down! Amid all
the floods that pour down from Alpine heights,
that fertalize and beautify Europe's wales, does
one drop Of Alchohol come down? Amid all
the ripping fountains that cause the bloom OF
many glen and sylvan bank in all our western
hills and woods, does one single drop of Alcho-
hol overflow Did heaven ever mix a emp like
this for man7 Could earth do it No; verify
believe this child of sorrow has touched the ac-
tual fact of its own origin, "the dark beverage
of hell;'' and the great being the agent of evil
men may question his existence while they
are pulling in the traces Of his labor-the great
being, the instrument of evil alone, can tell
either the full purpose of its origin or the full
product of its effect.

Laughabie Scene.

A 7ery laughable scene took place in
one Of the London theatres soon after the
great battle Of Waterloo. A dramatic rep
r.sentation Of that wor.d-renowned engage
nent was in the course of representation !;
great number of sailors had been hired
By the manager to represent the French
and English forces, but they utterly refus-
ed to be Frenchmen; they wouldn't put
on the enemy's jackets at any price SO
that the manager had to procure landsmen
to represent Napoleon's army. In one,
part Of The plat the English forces were to
rnn from the French, but Instead OF this
they stool their ground, and actually pitch
el all the French army into the orchestra,
among the fddlers!
The recusants were brought up before a
magistrate, when one of them made this
amusing defence:
"You see, Bill Sykes, and l, and Joe
Brown, and six more, was the British ar
my and opposite Us was some six or eight
land lubbers, a-hacting the Monsecrs. The
skipper of the show-folks told us after we'd
squibbed off our muskets over the Noun
seers' heads, to turn away from the French.
In course, this here was hard work for
Jack tars as had sarved their country for
twenty year, to be told to run away from
half dozen land lubbers, pretending to
be French.
"Well, it warn't no use o k;ckin' up q
row then, (this was rehearal,) but at
night Bill Sykes aud arguici the mat
Ter over pot o 'af all '-af' and we con.
eluded not to disgrace our flag, but up for
the honor of Old England.
"Well, when the scrimmage began, the
land-lubbers called out Retreat! retreat
Why don't you retrcat.''
"See you shot FIRST - says l.
"They come at Us. and BIZ Sykes, in
slewing round to guri his starn, slipped on
q piece of orangc-pcel, MISE stays, and
came down on his beam-cuds. One Of the
imitation Parleyvoos male a grab to cap
tivate Bill, when, in course, covered my
friend: and Accommodated the sham Noun
seer with a list as didn't agree with him.
He was one o them mutton ID Chaps as
can't stand much. for he landed among
the fildlers and squealed blue murder
"Nel!, arter a row begins, you never
know nothn' till its over. Bill Sykes aud
l cleared out the French army in less
than no time, and then we tipped the
player folks brollside, and took their
powder magazine prisoner. The crr;n
