An ATLANTA BREAKFAST -Sut Lovengood
jots down the following
You have often heard, but perhaps never
ventured to publish, a good yarn on DR..
Thompson, of Atlanta Ga, generous good
man, and tptop landlord and wit A travel
er called very late for breakfast. The meal was
hurriedIy prepared. Thompson, feeling that
the g feed" was not quite up to the mark,
made all sorts Of apologies all around the
p" eater" who worked on in silence
This snlky demeanor rather annoyed the
Doctor, who, changing the range of his bat
terry struck his thumbs in his vest armholes,
expanded his chest, by robbing the room of
half its air, and said ); &c now, mister, dod durn
ME, if | haint't made all the apology necessary
an more too, considerin' the breakfast, and
who gets it; and now, tell you, have seen
dirtier, worse cooked, worse tasted, worse look
ing, and HI of sight smaller breakfasts
than this is, several times"
The weary hungry one meekly laid down his
tools, swallowed the bite in transitu, placed
the palms of his hands together, and modesty
looking up at the vexed and fuming landlord,
shot him dead with the words following. viz
" s-what-you-say- 7"
" Yes, sir" came with q vindictive prompt
ness.
Well, then, III be choked old boss, if you
hain't Out trareted me-"

CORRECT SPEAKING-We advise all our
young people to acquire in early life the habit
of using good language both in speaking and
writing and to abandon as early as possible
any use of slang words or phrases The lon
ger they live the more difficult the acquisition
of such language will be : and if the golden
age of youth, the proper season for the acqui-
sion of language, be passed IN its abuse, the
unfortunate victim of neglected education is
very probably doomed to talk slang for life.
Money is not necessary to procure this edu-
cation, He has merely to use the language he
reads, instead of the slang which he hears, to
form his taste from the best speakers and poets
of the country to treasure up choice phrases
in his memory, and to habituate himself to
their uSe-avoiding at the same time that pc
dantic precision and bombast, which show ra-
ther the weakness of vain ambition than the
polish of an educated mind

A Kiss THAT DIDNr PAY.-The Toledo
Record gets off q good one in regard to cit
izen of Iowa, whose wife, in his absence, had
been kissed by drover, while giving glass
of water. When he had heard of the outrage
he started at once in pursuit, found the droyer
after hard days ride, and accused him of the
theft.
The drover admitted the truth Of the
soft mpeachement-said he had been O long
time from hOme was sorely tempted, and in an
unguarded moment of frenzy purloned the
the kiss, bnt that he had not damaged the
woman in the smallest particular-was very
sorry-thought it was no matter to make
great ado about, and therefore begged to be
excused.
The husband finally concluded that this was
the right view Of the matter, and agreed to
settle it upon the receipt of 5 for his days
ride This being satisfactory the droVer hand
ed over 8 10 bill and received 5 5 in change
But when the aggrieved benedict returned
home and consulted his detector, he found. the
bill counterfeit. He found he had suffered
the ndgnity of having his wife kissed by
nasty droyer." passed one day in the saddle,
and lost five dollars, and concluded that it
didn't pay. -

The Cupola of st. Peters.

| We resolved to-day to take another view OF
st Peters The ascent to the cupola is as we
have already observed, of the easiest descrip
ton, being nearly an inclined plane. From the
cupola alone we can have a true idea of the
figures of the Apostles, our Saviour, and St
John the Baptist, which, from the piazza, ap-
pear to be of the ordinary height are in reality
nearly 20 feet high On the roof live those
workmen who are employed in the repairs OF
the buildings, for large sum of money is spent
every year to keep the Basica in its present
state. From the interior of the cupoa the
view Of the church is really deceptive. What
appeared to you so large and so wondrouS is
now dwindled away to almost nothing You
seem toSbe i'll the church triumphant raised
above the things of the earth, where those
things that have once appeared to you so wond-
rouS and so great will be then brought down
to mere nothing. Beneath you is the tomb of
the Apostles, and its wondrouS canopy, which
now appears to you quite small. The altar of
St PrOcesuS and MartinianuS the jailers of ST.
Peter and ST. Paul in the Mamertine prison.
appear to You still smaller; but you recongnize
the power of religion which has effaced the
its apostles, and now reunites them in the
same glorious temple, and pays the same eX
alted honorS to them as it does to those whom
they prosecuted AS we proceed still higher
up, we come to the exterior, on the top of the
cupola before entering the stairs which lead
to the ball. How noble the prospect which
is presented to you from this What a pam
Drama of the Eternal City and of the distant
mountains on one side, and of the blue Med
iterranean on the other, is now before you =
All seem, as it were by the hand of the ma
gican to be reduced to diminished scale The
Vatican palace and its gardens, the piazza and
its fountains, present an appearance of being
brought to their present size by some invisible
power The view of everything is so deceptive
that yOu seem almost to be labOring under
some deusion, and you cannot trust your
eyesight but to ascend the ball, this is the
work. We enter room, after a short ascent,
from which a ladder, made of iron, placed
almost perpendicularly, leads to the ball. For
those who are of large dimensions the ascent
is rather difficult. One of our companions, of
rather beyond the average dimensions, took
off his coat and waistcoat to try and enter in
to the ball. In the midst of his aerial course he
sticks fast and he can neither come down nor
go up. Some drag him by the hands, others
push him by the feet, but to no purpose. and
he at last has to descend without being able
to enter into the ball, an honor he wished to
accomplish. The ball is eight feet and one
inch i'll diameter, aud can contain sixteen per-
SOUS. The cross above the ball is fourteen feet
high. The effect produced by the lighting
of 1000 lamps, and afterwards of 500 fam
beaux, is truly astonishing, and presents this
glorious structure, on the nights of its ilumna-
ton, in its full glory.

About COLD.-FOr every mile that we leave
the surface of the earth, the temperature falls
five degrees. At forty miles distance from
globe we get beyond the atmosphere, and
enter, strictly speaking into the regions of
space, whose temperature is 225 degrees below
zero and here cold reigns in all its power
Some idea of this intense cold may be formed
by stating that the greatest cold observed in
the Arctic Circle is from 40 degrees to 60 de-
grees below zero {; and here many surprising
effects are produced. In the chemical abora-
tory, the greatest cold that We can produce is
about $50 degrees below zero. At this tenn
perature carbouic gas becomes a solid sub
stance, like snow If touched, it produces
just the same effect on the skin as a red-hot
cinder; it blsters the finger like Jurn Quick
silver, or mercury, freezes at 40 degrees below
Zero-that is, y degrees below the tempera-
ture at which water freezes. The solid mercury
may then be hammered into sheets, or made
into spoons; such spoons would melt in water
as warm as ice, 1t is pretty certain that every
liquid and gas that we are acquainted with
would become solid if exposed to the cold of
the regions of space The gas We light would
appear like wax oil would be in reality, as
hard as a rock :" pure spirit, which we never
yet soIidifed, would appear like transparent
crystal; hydrogen gas would become quite solid
and resemble metal; we should be able to
turn butter into a lathe like piece of ivory
and the fragrant odor OF flowers would have
to be made hot before they would yield per-
fume These are few of the astonishing
effects of cold

over an immense cushion that sat like an in
cubuS on her head and plastered over with a
shower Of white powder. The height of this
tower was somewhat over foot One single
white rosebud lay on its top like an eagle on a
hay stack. Over her neck and bosom was
folded lace handkerchief fastened in front by
a bosom pin rather larger tlan dollar, con-
tanning your grandfather's miniature set in
virgin gold. Her airy form was braccd up in
a satin dress the sleeves as tight as the natural
skin of the arm, with a waist formed by a
bodice, worn outside, from whence the skirt
flew ed off, and was diStented at the top by an
ample hoop Shoes of white kid, with peaked
toes, and heels of two or three inches eleva-
tion, nclosed her feet and glittered with span
giles, as her little pedal members peeped curious

Now for the swain. His hair was sleeked
back and plentifully behoured, while his cue
projected like the handle of skillet His
coat was a sky blue silk, lined with yellow; his
long vest of white satin, embroidered with gold
lace; his breecheS of the same material and
tied at the knees with pink ribbons. White
silk stockings. and pumps with aces and ties
Of the same hue completed the habiliments Of
his neither linen. Lace ruffles clustered around
his waist, and portentous fril worked in cor
reSpondence, and bearing the miniature of his
beloved, finished his truly genteel appearance.

the flannel He wore shoes large enough to
cover the mass of wrapping. One night his

IN A TIGHr PLACE-We had an anec-
dote of old Father Scarf, the minister of his
boyhood, which never has been in print, and
which is to good to be lost 1t was customary
then to wear buckskin breecheS in cold weather
One Sunday morning in the autumn, Father
Sear brought his Gown from the garret but
the wasps had taken possession during the
Summer and were having nice time of it in
them. BY dint of effort, he got out the in
truders, or thought he had expelled them, and
dressed for meeting. But while reading the
Scripture to the congregation he felt sting
from one of the enraged ,small-wasted fellows &
jumped around the pulpit Slapping his thighs.
But the more he slapped and danced the more
they stung. The people thought him crazy
and were in commotion as to what to do; but
he explained the matter by saying Breth-
ren don't be alarmed; The Word If the Lord
Is in my mouth, but tic Dcrit is In my breechcs"
