A MIsDEAL IN LOVE AFFAIRS.

Ed. H., Of a neiglnboring city, hal for
months been paying his love.coIorcd adj
dresses to the beautiful and lovely daughter
of DIR. p. The commotion under his waist
coat was equalled by the tlroLLing in her
basque, and for awhile things went on
swimmingly. "Fatlers have stony hearts" :"
and so DIR. p, never needing the happiness
these lovers were enjoying, all of II sudden
forbade Ed. from coming TO his house.
Nobody knew the cause, but some said it
was because the Doctor had higher notions
for his daughter Rosa. We'll, Rosa was
worthy of good husband, and Ed. always
seemed to us likely TO make one, for lie was
established in thrifty business, u kind heart,
and was respected 10y all who knew him.
Besides, as the sequel proves, he had perse-
verancc even against odds. The parents
offered Rosa muniicent gifts if she would
"cut' Ell, but all to no purpose. When
she could not see him ut the house, she
could, and did, promenade the streets will,
him. Their prosecutions only grew stronger
as their love grew deeper, and finally Rosa
said if she could not marry Ed, she would
do something quite as horrible. Her pa
rents were intlexiLlc, but Rosa, began to
play "sly," and made clandestiue appoint
ments with her darling Ell.
One Of these eventuatcd funniIy enough.
Ed. was to come 10 tie house and wait out
side until the lights were turned cff, and
then she would quietly let him in. The
evening came, and Rosa thought her
parents never would retire. But after Il
willie the Doctor sought his night cap. and
Rosa slipped off into the back parlor anI
sat down i'll the dark. Her mother, think
ing all others had gone 10 bed, lighted "a
lamp, tunnel off the gas, and went up stairs
to bed. But willie she was standing in the
hall, at the head Of the stairs she heard a
gentle tap OH the door. Fearing that ;Ie
wind would blow out her ony light, she
thoughtfully set it down in the hall, and
descended TO the door by its uncertain light.
AS she threw open the door, in rushed Ell. i,
and seizIng her in his arms, began such a
siege Of kissing as prevented her crying
out for aid. Poor FL. did not discover his
error until he had called her his darling
Rosa about ninety times, and received upon
his face blow in cxc1'ang for each kiss
But hearing himself called an impertinent
villain, he incontinently fled from the house
rs greatly chagrined rs Mrs T.. was angry.
Whether his devotion or persstency won
the mother to his favor, is not stated, but
Ed. and Rosa were shortly married, will,
tho full consent OF the parents. 1t proved
with Eds love making, rs it often docs in
cards-amisdcal changes the
Gate city.

DIR. Livingston, who has lately returned
from Africa, is reported as saying that that
country is very different from what it is

and deep. The population, which consists
of the true negro, is thick and more civil

Tile Boomerany.-Thisc curious weapon.
peculiar to the native of Australia, has Of.
ten proved puzzle to men of science. l,
isa piece of carved wood nearly in the
form of crescent from thirty TO forty
inches long, pointed at both ends, and the
corner quite sharp. The mode Of using It
is as singular AS the weapon. Ask black
to throw it so as to let it fall at his feet.
and away it goes full forty yards before
him, skimming along the surface at three
or four feet from the ground when it will
suddenly rise in the air forty or sixty feet, de-
scriIi"g curve and finally dropping at the
feet Of the thrower. During its course it
revolves with great rapidity on pivot,
switl, wl'izzing noise. 1t is wonderful so
barbarous people have invented SO sincu-
lar weapon. which sets the laws of pro.
gression at defiance. II rs very dangerous
fora European to try to project II at any
object, as it may return and strike himself.
In natives hands it is formidable wea.

seen. It was invented to strike tie 'kapea.

NATURE PROVIDES FOR AI,h

so various are the appctites of animals,
that there is scarcely plant which is no,

others. The horse gives up the water
hcmlock to the goat; the COW gives up the
long lcavcd water hemlocl, TO the sheep -;
the goat gives up the monks hood to the
horse, &C., for that which some animals
grow fat upon, other animals abhor rs a
poison. Hence, no plant is actually poison.

that is noxious 10 man, is the most whole
some nourisllment to the caterpillar. That
animals may not destroy themselves for
want Of knowing this law, cacl, of them is
guarded hy such delicacy Of taste aud
smell, that they can easily distinguish what
is pernicious from that which is wholesome :;
and when it happens that different animals
live upon the samo plants, still one kind

mouths Of all are not equally adapted 10
lay hold Of the grass, hy which means there
is food for all. TO this may bo referred an
economical experiment well known TO tie
Dutch, that when eight COWS have been in
pasture and can no longer get nourishmen.,
two horses will do very well there for some
days; when nothing is left for the horses,
four sheep will live upon it.

Latest improvement in the .Saw Gin
MIR. James L. Orr, uf Alabama, who ob-
tanned the premium for the best cotton gin,
at the late fair in that State, has since
made very important improvement. hav-
ing improved bis gin to that degree Of
perfection, as regards the sample, that lie
fears no superior. Ills attention has been
directed to the increase Of speed; and after
many experiments, lie has invented new
method of getting clear of the seed, by
new plan Of ribs, which sheds the seed at
three places; thereby supplying the teeth
with co,toas INSTEAD Of seed, and whicl,
cuuses an increase Of cotton ginnei from
forty TO fifty per cent This improvement
is rendered more valuable for not having to
resort to the old method for making gins
pick fast, which injures the sample.
We learn froin q gentleman that saw
one Of these gins At work, that q forty saw

nounced wcgetable-is probably derived
from the peculiar long and pointed form Of
this description of escuirn,s, hence original

They are migratory in their habits, for
wherever they may wip'cr, they arc sure 10

and boot trees, for instance.
Grain and seeds are not considered JAN
gerous, except when about to shoot.
Several trees, like watch dogs, are valued
mostly for their bark
A little bark will make rope, but it
takes large pile Of wood for cord.
Though the,e are no vegetable heaux,
