specified he was called TO an adjoining

he informed Judge Wilmot of the fact by

German Constancy.
A ROMANCE.

A few days since, on the arrival Of the
morning train from the East, two German
girls stepped out of the cars and were i'm
mediately recognized by two young men,
who were standing on the platform, when
they were clasped in each others arms
Their emigration to this country forms an
interesting story. The young men were
natives of Wurtemburg, Germany, and
ia their native place { fell in love" with
the daughters of wealthy citizen, and
their love was reciprocated on the part of
the daughters. But the attentions Of the
youths, who we're poor, provoked the ire
Of the parents Of the maidens. They
wonld not be disgfacedfby the marriage
OF their daughters to the two poor young
men of Wirtumburg." Finding that the
" old folks" could not be reconciled, they
hit upon the following plan, forming a sa
cred agreement: 1.-The young men would
leave Wirtemburg, and come to the Uni
ted States, and earn money; when having
earned enough, they would send for the
objects Of their affection; they declaring
constaney till death. They parted. The
young men came to America, and by tn,
persuasion Of friends who had preceded
them to this country, they settled dowl
to hard labor in Amberson's Valley, som,
ten miles from Shippensburg, Pa. Ate
working about year, they accumulated
the means necessary to convey the idol
Of their hearts from Germany to America
and Immediately dispatched it to them
spending many sleepless nights in anxiet,
for their arr..vli." On Monday last, thei
cup of joy was filled. for their loved one
reached them in safety and in health
They left home unknown to their parent
and came alone 1000 miles, without meet
ing an acquaintance till they reache,
their lovers at the Shippensburg depot.

Bound te Marry Somebody.

A young couple from Southern Illinois,
or Egypt, came to the city the other day
for the avowed purpose ofgetting hitched
together in the traces of matrimony. The
bride was full grown red checked, san
dy -haired MAIDEN, with, we'll developed

country. Her gallant was six feet and
an inch, with q fist like sledge hammer,
and shock of hair like the remains of a
small hurricane. He was rather verdant

transmogrify an oyster into swoard fish,
it was working wonders in this enamour-

mediately started to get shave and a JUS

wiry beard in short order, and gently him

Sham what? ?" said the Ilinoisian-
never having heard the term used before.
On being told what shampooning meant,
he concluded to undergo the operation
His head was thoroughly secured and
scrubbed, lathered and rubbed, washed
and squeezed, and lie felt like new man.
But the shampooning had so be&ildered
his brain that when he left the BARRIERS he
was perfectly oblivions as to the course
he should steer to return to his BRIDE
He wandered about the city in perfect be

Errors About the Honey Bee.

The following remarks from the Alba
ny Cultivater may correct some errone-
Gus notions about the modus oper1ftai Of
the Industrious bee
Many suppose that the bee culls honey
from the nectar Of flowers, and simply car
ries it to his cell in the hive. This is not
correct The nectar he collects from the
flower is a portion of its food or drink;
the honey it deposits in its cell is a secre-
ton from its meli6c, or honey -secfeting
glands; analogous to the milk secreting
glands of the COW and other animals. If
they were the mere collectors and trans
porters of honey from the flowers to the
honey-comb, then we should have. the
comb frequently filled with iholasses hogs4
head. The honey-bag in the bee performs
the same functions as the cows bag or nd
der-mereiy receives the honey from the
secreting glands, and retains it till prop
er opportunity presents for its being de-
posted in appropriate store-houses, the
honey-coThb. Another error is that tie
bee collects pollen from the flowers acct
IDENTIFY while it is fin search of honey
Quite the contrary is the fact. The bee,
when in search Of nectar, or honey, as it is
improperly called, does not collect polleh-,
1t goes in search Of pollen specially, and
also for nectar. When the pollen Of the
flower IS ripe and 1T for the use of the bee,
there is no nectar in the flower. 1t is
generally supposed, also. that the bee con-
structs the wax from which it constructs
its comb from spch vegetable substances.
This is also an error. The wax is u set
erection from its body as the honey is; and
it makes its appearance in small scales OF
fakes under the rings Of the belly, and is
taken thence by other bees, rendered plas-
liz by mixture Of the saliva of the bees
mouth, and laid on the walls of the cell
with the tongue. very much in the way a
plasterer uses his troweE3

Thoughts ard Language.

1t is not always easy, either in painting
or literature, to determine where the in
anence of language stops, and where that
of thought begins. Many thoughts are so
dependent upon the language in which they
are clothed. that they would lose half their
beauty if otherwise expressed. But the
highest thoughts are those which are least
dependent on language, and the dignity
of any composition and praise 10 which it
is entitled, are in exact proportion to its
dependency of language and expression.
A composition is indeed Usually most per.
feet, when to such an intrinsic dignity is
added all that expression can do to attract
and adorn; but in every case Of supreme
excellence, this all becomes as nothing
We are more grati6ed by the simplest
lines or words which can suggestive idea
in its naked beau y. than blythe robe and
gem which conceal while they decorate;
we are better Pleased to feel by their alb,
sence how little they could bestow than
by their presence how much they can de-
