A Fortunate Adventure.

Last week, a farmer living near
,Easton, Pennsylvania, sent bis daugh-
ter on horseback to that town to pro-
cure from the bank small notes for
one hundred dollars. When she ar
rived there the-bank was closed, aud
she endeavored to effect her object
by offering it at several stores, but
could not get her note changed. She
had not gone far on her return. when
a stranger rode up to her and aceost-
ed her with so much politeness, that
she had not the slightest suspicion OF
any evil Intention on bis part. After
a ride of a mile.or two, employed IN
very social conversation. they came
to retired part of the road, and the
stranger commanded her TO give him
the bank note, 1t WAS with some dif'
ficnlty that she could be made to be-
lieve him in earnest, as bis demeanor
had been so friendly; but the present
alton of pistol placed that matter
beyond doubt, and she yielded to me-
csssity. Just as she held the note to
him sudden puff Of wind blew the
note into the road, and carried it gen
tIy several yards from them. The
discourteous knight aiighted to over
take it, and the lady whipped her
horse to get out of his power, and the
other horse, which had been left stand
ing by her side, started with her.
His owner fred pistol after her which
only tended to increase the speed Of
all parties and the young lady arrived
safe at home with the horse Of the
robber, on which was pair of saddle
bags. When these were opened, be-
sides a quantity of counterfeit bank
notes, fifteen hundred dollars in good
money was found. The horse was a
good one and when saddled and bri-
died, was thought to be worth at least
as much as the bank note that was
stolen.

WHOLR NO. sll
Beware Of Hasty Legislation.

The following extract from the
New York correspondent OF the Ma
tional IntelligeEcer'conveys its own
lesson and moral:
1t appears that few weeks ago
a bill was hurried through the Leg
islature, under specious pretexts, CIV
ing TO the father Of two illegitimais
children, exclusive parental control
over them, and the bill became Law
without the Governors signature, as
be had strong objections to the prin-
ciples involved, and reluctantly per-
mitted the bill to become a law by
remaining ten days in bis possession
without receiving official action
The mother Of the children stung
BY the loss Of her offspring, immedi-
ately took steps to obtain relief; and
yesterday, after a stirring speech
from Jadge HogGboom, one of the
brightest ornaments Of the Assembly,
in which was depicted the wrong
that had been done and The character
of the father shown up in It's trus
colors, bill for the repeal Of the
act 10 question was introduced and
passed, af;er a slight objection, by
a unanimous vote. The bill was inn
mediately sent to the Senate; aud
bysthat body passed within ten min
ntes of its reception from tho AS
sembly. Gov. Kings signaturs was
appended with equal promplitude.
For the credit of those who urged the
passage ofehe original bill it is only
lair TO say that they were imposed
upon in regard to its effect and the
character of the parties to whom it
bad reference, and the same inluen-
,es we're brought TO bear upon the
Governor to prevent the veto which
Ihe measure would otherwise have
at his hands. A more stri-
king example of ilI-advised and yas-
,illatibg legislation than this has
rarely occurred, and the moraIisls da
lot neglect the opportunity Of hold
ng 1t up as warning to all concern.

A Business Man.

Among the many truthful para
graphs aAoat ,on the sea OF letters,
none is truer than the following from
the New Orleans Picayune:
The man who does not take news
paper, (and pay for it, might as
well retire into monastery; for he
is incompetent to come in contact
with man who does. Read the
biographies Of our must successful
merchants, and it will be discovered
that reading the newspapers, and ad-
vertising in them, literally constitu-
/ ted the basis upon which they erect
led their magnificent fortunes. 1t is
impossible to be newspaper reader
land not be intelligent. Tho daily
! life Of the whole world is written down
therein. Intelligence by railroad,
steamship and telegraph hurries over
the land and the sea, and the editor,
with his unresling pen, records it
for the public eye forever.
"The merchant, if there was but
one newspaper in the land, and the
cost Of it was tBo-tbirds of bis gain,
he would be obliged to be subscri-
Der or retire from business. The
newspaper in this country is the a.
gent which every person consults
when be wishes to buy or sell. A
man in this country may have near
ly all the merit, talent and cheap
goods in the world, and they will be
of no avail or profit to him, unless
the fact is known to the people
There is no available way to dissem-
mate this information than by the
press. 1t is only necessary to give
a little serious reflection to this mat
ter, to be convinced that the busi-
ness man who knows bow to use the
press is bound to succeed"

CORK,

Many persons see cork used daily
without knowing whence comes that
useful material Corks are cut from
large slabs Of he oak tree, species
| of oak which grows wild in the south
ern countries of Europe. The tree is
stripped Of its bark at about sixteen
years old; but before stripping it of,
the tree is not cut down, as is the
case of the oak. 1t is taken while
the tree is growing, and the opera
ton may be repeated every eight OR
nine years; the quality Of the bark
continuing each time to improve as
the age Of the tree increaea. When
the bark is taken off tits singed iu
the flames Of a strong fire. and be-
ing soaked for considerable time In
water, it is placed under heavy weight,
in order to render it straight. It's ex-
treme lightness, the ease with which
it can be compressed, and It's elastic
ity, are so peculiar to this substance,
that 10 efficient substitute for it has
been discovered. The valuable prop
critics Of Cork we're known to the
Greeks aud Romans who employed
it for all the purposes for which it is
used at the presentslay, with the ex-
ceptiou of stopples. The aneients
mostly used cement for stopping the
mouth of bottles or vessels. TIE
Egyptians arc said to have made
collins of cork, which, being spread on
the inside with q resinous substance,
preserved dead bodies from decay
Even in modern times, cork was not
generally used for stOpples to bottles
till about the seventeenth century,
cement being used until then for that
purpose

The bird, let loose in eastern skies,
When fastening fondly home,
Meier stoops to earth her wing, nor flies
Where idle warblers roam;
But high she shoots through air and light
Above all low delay,
Where nothing earthly bounds her fight,
Nor shadow dims her way,
So grant me, God, from every care
Aud stain of passion free.
Aloft through Virtues purer air,
To hold my course o'Thee!
No sin to cloud, no lure to stay
My soul. as home she springs;--
Thy sunshine on her joyful way,
Thy freedom in her wings!
