Night Scene in Young Lady's Chamber.
Last Tuesday night. which will be remember :
ed as one Of the warmest OF the season, young
lady at the" West End" was excessively fright
ened by little circumstance which tIanspircd
about the hour of midnight. The young lady
whose beauty is only equsled by her modesty.
and whose "eye's dark charm" has caused more
than one waistcoat to paipitate, had retired to
her chamber where, after laying aside the greater
portion of her wearing apparel, she committed
herself 10 the tender embraces OF Morpheus
whose soothing influences were aided by the gen.
tie breath of Zephyr, who came in at the open
window and famed her cheeks with his feathery
wings. In word, she was snoozing 6nely-or,

sleep on her velvet eye-ds lightly pressed,
And dreamy sighs upheavcd her snowy breast
While starbeams through the window softly creeping
Stole to her couch and trembling there stood peepng
1t was, as we said, about midnight, when The
young lady was aroused from her delicious slum-
b r BY hearing noise at her window. Half un-
closing her eyes, she was startled by the sight OF
corpulent form, apparently struggling to gain
admission to her chamber through the open win
dow. 1t at once struck her that the intruder
had been caught by the rear of his unmenton-
ables, by a nail or some other short instrument,
as he seemed struggling with a stern determi.
nation to enter Her first thought was to faint
her second, 10 give the fellow push, her
third. to jump out of the window as soon as he
jumped in-her fourth, to scream. which was
Immediately carried into effect. The whistle OF
the locomotive on the iron Mountain Road,
when il gave its first snort on the 4th of July,
was but a whisper to the screams Of that young
lady. The whole house and half the neighbor-
hood was awakened by the outcry.
The old folks, three female servants, and big
brothers rushed TO the rescue, and, broom
sticks. mop.handles and boot jacks flashed in
the gas-lipht, as the household entered the room
of the frightened beuuty. An examination OF
the figure in the window dispelIed the fears OF
all, and changed the screams of the young lady
into shouts of laughter.
| The imaginary 'f,t man" was only her own
darling hooped skirt, which she had hu NJ nea
the window, and which the wind had inflated
and set in motion. There was no more sleeping
in the hous that night.
The happy termination Of the adventure put
the family into such good humor, that they
laughed and talked until breakfast time. Yonns
ladies should be very careful about the dispose
of their hoops when the go to bed.-[St. Louis

MrLK.-Ertract from Lebg and Kopp's
Annual Report upon the progress Of Chemis-
try, &c, Translated for the Scientific Amer
ican:-
From the Investigations Of Struckmann, Jun
der the direction Of Bodeker, upon the nor
NAL changes in cows milk, it is found that
the quantit of fat contained in milk increas-
es according to the hour it is drawn) from
morning till evening, whilst the whole amount
of protein substances remains constantly
about the same; the quantit, Of sugar appears
to reach MAXIMUM at midday. The specific
gravity was always nearly the same, and
from that no conclusion can be drawn about
the constitution Of the milk.
Herpin has made favorable report upon
Msbru's method of preserving milk. This
method consists in putting milk into metallic
vessel, which terminates at the top in a tun-
mel. shaped leaden tube ; above the milk, Tin
the tunnel-shaped expansion,) is poured a
thin layer Of oil, TO prevent contact with the
air; the milk in the vessel is then heated
from l67 . to I76 > Fab, during about an
hour, TO expel the air, and after cooling, the
leaden tube is pressed together air-tight, then
cut off above the point Of compression, and
soldered together.
