Fearful Scene.

The following extract from most de-
cidedly popular work, (by Korn Kobb,
Jr. called "The Rover; OR, the Boot
blacks Wife's Sisters Niece!" is awful
and thrilling. We will not insure any
young lady against iainting right away at
the close Of this terrible and terrific ex.
tract:
A dark frown o'erspread the hand
some and courtly features Of Fernando,
the Rover.
"Why, why" he asked brandishing
his silver sword furiously around, evil
thou not believe me, my beauteous Ma
ria de Argyle? By this good sword,
swear I love thee-truly, wildly, pas.
sionately love thee! Then why stand
SO coldly aloof from this bosom which is
bursting for thee?"
The beautiful girl essayed to speak, but
could not.
"Ha!' exclaimed Fernando. the Ro
yer, and sardonic smile lit up his face
'tthou lov'st another"
"Nol' she tremblingly but with digni

"Then why not come to this bosom?'
wildly repeated the Rover.

herself to her full height, "I'm afraid yel

Nothing Ever Lost.

It is a law in the material world, that
nothing is absolutely lost. The place,
the form, the material of objects change.
Our bodies die and turn to dust. The
The whole animal and vegetable creation
have their periods of growth and decay.
The waters wear the stones. Thus wash
est away the things that grow out Of the
dust Of the earth. And in this change
there is no loss or destruction Of ofelement-
ary particles.
Dissolving elements appear again in
new combinations, and new forms of util-
ity and beauty. The waters absorbed by
the atmosphere, go up in the mountains,
gather into clouds, and descend in show
ers to water the earth, and enter into the
structure of all living things. And may
not law something like this exist in
Gol's spiritual kingdom?
Will he who watches over the chang
ing elements of senseless matter, so that
no. one particle is ever lost, or comes
short Of its destination, permit those good
influences which by grace have originated
in the faith of his people, ever to be lost,
or come short of their end? Will they
certainly not enter into this glorious build
ing, and contribute something to the
completeness of its form, and the perfec-
ton of its beauty? No doubt the good
influences exerted by the pious often
seem to men to be utterly and forever dis
sipatcd.
When the blood of the Christian mar,
tyrs was poured on the sands of Rome,
their prosecutors imagined that they had
made an end of them in their doctrine.
But blood washed into the Tiber, was car
red by its waters into the sea, and by the
sea into the ocean, and by its waves tc
every kin gdom of the earth, and become
type not more of the spreading doc
trines of Christianity than of the aug.
mented and widely dilfused influence o.
those holy men.

A MODERN BELLE.

She sits In her fashionable parlor, and rocks in
her easy chair;
She is clad in silks and satin, and jewels in
her hair;
She winks and gggles, and simp' RS, and sim
pers and giggles and winks,
And though she talks but little, IT'S a vat deal
more than she thinks.
She lies a.bcd in the morning, till near the hour
of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snarling, be-
cause she is called so soon;
Her hair is still in papers, her checks still
"fresh" with paint;
Remains of last nights bushes before she in
tended to faint.
She dotes on men unshaven, and men with
flowing hair;
She is eloqnentover mustaches, they give such
foreign air!
She talks of Italian music, and falls in love
with the moon,
Aud if mouse was to meet her, she would
30 sink away in swoon.
Her feet are so very little, her hands are So
very white.
Her jewels are SO very heavy, and her head SO
very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics ,(though this
she will never own,)
Her body's made mostly of cotton, her heart is
made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with u fellow who swcls
with a foreign air;
Ho marries her forher money, she marries him
for his-ltair!
One of the best matches-both are we'll mated
in life
She's got fool for a husband, he's got fool
for wife

A Good Apology

They had ball down to Waverly the
other night, which brought out some re-
markable EXPIRE ressions. Among other
transpirations, the following instance of a
cool apology took place. Bill P. is known
all over, and bill was at the ball in all his
glory. All his necessaries for pleasure
were on hand, good music, pretty girls,
and beautiful whiskey. The evening
passed off rapidly, as ii always does, and
Bill had, at about ten o'clock become
very happy. Stepping up to young la
dy. he requested the pleasure of dancing
with her. She replied she was engaged.
"Well," said Bill, care you engaged
for the next set?'
She said she was.
"Can l dance with you the next then?'
81 am engaged for that, also."
"Can dance with you to night"'
"No sir" with some hesitancy.
"Go to HILL" said Bill, highly in
dignant, and turning on his heel walked
off.
After few moments, bill is accosted
by the brother of the young lady, and
charged with having insulted his sister,
Bill denies, but expresses himself willing
to apologize, if he has done wrong, and
accordingly steps up to the young lady
when the following conversation ensues.
"Miss L., understand have insulted
you"
"You have sir!"
"What did I say, Miss L."
"You told me to go to hill"
"Well," said Bill, II have come tc
tell you that YOU n'ea@t 90.

Strange Story.

A MINISTER AND HIS WIFE ARRESTED FOR
HIGHWAY RoBpERY.-The Rev. Samuel
Smith, master Of the collegiate school at
Clifton. aRd formerly second master Of
Bishops college, England, and his wife,
have been arrested for highway robbery
and attempted murder. The wife Of Mr..
Smith was Miss Mills, and about nine
years ago, before her marriage numbered
among her suitors Mr.. Leach, contrac-
tor. The match was broken off, and Mr..
Leach married another lady, who died
some time since. Mrs. Smith having as
certained that Mr.. Leach was widower,
addressed letter to him, in which she
stated that her husband had recently
died, and invited him to renew the intima-
cy which formerly existed between them
After several letters had passed be-
tween them, Mr.. Leach agreed to meet
the lady at Bristol, on Sunday, 3lst OF
January. They met at the Bristol Sta
ton and took tickets for Yale, where
they alighted. and Mrs. Smith proposed
to cross the common to her residence, in
stead Of taking the high road. The sta
tion. master advised against this, on ac-
count Of the night; but finding her siren
uous took the lantern and accompanied
them TO to the point, from which they
would have to cross the common. In a
short time, the lady professed to have lost
. the way in few minutes after Mr.. Leach
was assaulted by man. Being strong
man, he, however, got the better Of his
assailant, and his cries for aid were heard
by two railroad men, who soon came
up.
The assailant was found to be Rev. Mr..
Smith, the husband Of the lady: but he
managed to make his escape. The de-
tcctive force proceeded to the house Of
Mr.. Smith, and arrested the parties. On
their track was found a Widows cap and
a six-barrel revolver pistol, loaded and
capped, near the spot where the struggle
took place. In searching the house, par
eel containing shirt, collar, satin scarf
and pocket handkerchief, all bearing Mr..
Leach's name, were found.-.Bost. Tau.

CURE FOR THE BITE OF A MAD DoG.-

CURE FOR THE BITE OF MAD DoG.-
A writer in the National Intelligencer
says that spirits ofhartshorn is a certain
remedy for the bite Of mad dog. The
wound, he adds, should be constantly
bathed with it, and three or four doses,
diluted, taken inwardly during the day.
The hartshorn decomposes, chemically,
the virus insinuated into the wound, and
Immediately alters and destroys its dele.
teriousness. The writer, who resided in
Brazil for some time, first tried it for the
bite Of a scorpion, and found that it re-
moved pain and inflammation almost in
stantly. Subsequently he tried it for the
bite ola rattlesnake, with similar success.
At the suggestion of the writer, an old
friend and physician tried it in cases of
hydrophobia, and always with success.

Facts in Human History.

The number of languages spoken is g.
O64. The number of men is about equal
10 that of the women. The average of
human life is 33. One quarter die before
the age Of seven. One half before the
age of seventeen. To every 1000 per-
sons, only one arrives at the age of 100
years. 10 every 100. only six reach the
age Of 65; and not more than one in 500
reaches the age Of 80 years. There are
on the earth 1,oOo,o 100000 Of inhabi-
tants. OF these, $685., 1888 die every
year; 1928 die every day-7,78o every
hour, and 80 every minute, or one for
every second.
The losses are about balanced by an
equal number of births. The married
are longer lived than the single; and
above all, those who observe sober and
industrious conduct Tall men live longer
than short ones. Women have more
chances of life previous to the age Of fifty
years, but seldom after. The number Of
marriages is in the proportion of rs to 100.
Marriages are most frequent after the
equinoxes, that is, during the months Of
June and December. Those born in the
spring are generally more robust than
others. Births and deaths are more fire.
quent by night than by day. Number
ofmen capable of bearing arms is estima-

CURE FOR RANCID BUTTER.-A writer
in the Journal of Industrial Progress re-
commends that butter should be knead-
ed with fresh milk, and then with pure
water. He states that by this treatment
the butter is rendered as fresh and pure
in flavor as when recently made. He
ascribes this result to the fact that butyr-
ic acid, 70 which the rancid taste and
odor are owing, is readily voluble in fresh
milk and thus removed. --s1

CROOKED Notwithstanding of the
Rio Grande, writer says: Imagine one
of the crookedest things in the world.
then imagine four more twice as crooked,
and imagine to yourselfa large river three
times as crooked as all these put togeth-
er, and you have faint idea of the
crooked disposition Of this crooked river
There is no drift-wood in it, from the
fact that il is so crooked that timber can
not find its way far enough down to lodge
two sticks together; but few snakes, be-
cause it is moi straight enough to swim
in; and the fish are all in whirlpools in
the bends, because they cannot find their
way out. Birds frequently attempt to
fly across the river, but light on the same
side they start from, being deceived by
the crook. Indeed you may be deceived
when you think you see across it; and
some of the b'hoys say it is so twisting
there is but one side to it.

Maple Sugar Making

For the benefit of amateur sugar. ma
kers, we condense the following from an
exchange paper. The price of maple su-
gar, in correspondence with other things,
will be no lower in the spring Of 1858,
than 1857, and always in demand as an
article of luxury, and considered whole
some.
1t is not best to tap the tree, with an
axe--even upon the land which you in
tend to clear, as it may pass into other
hands before you are ready to clear it,
and successor might prefer to keep the
trees. The best way 10 tap trees, is to
bore them on the sunny side, two feet or
more above the ground, with an auger
not over one half or three-fourths Of an
inch in diameter, and at first not more
than three-foutrhs of an inch into the
the wood, and slant upward. Boring
with slant downward, holds water, and
produces decay. This aperture may be
increased, after the surface becomes dry,
and the flow Of sap is checked. 70 con-
duct the sap into buckets, use iron spouts
which cost you the price Of thin inch and
a quarter wide hoop iron, cut into lengths
Of two to four inches, cut by your own
hands, with a small cold cutting chisel,
using the end of a hard wood block for
an anvil. These are made quicker than
wooden spouts, and will last for several
years, if properly stored away after using.
Drive the spouts into the bark only,
and never set the buckets under them,
but hang them on nail, by the bail, or
piece of twisted wire.
When the sap is boiled to the right
point, which experience teaches, strain it
through flannel, or coarse cloth, into a
tub, and let it cool. To it, put quart
Of milk. or, still better, pint Of milk
and two or three eggs. to ten gallons,
and heat slowly, and strain carefully
The eggs should be well beaten with the
milk and thoroughly stirred into the syrup
before it is heated. Great care is neces-
sary toprevent scorching after the syrup
begins to grow waxy, from which time
until it is sufficiently boiled, the fire must
be very gentle and under control.
Waxy syrup will mske drained sugar
leaving a considerable residue of molasses
to be reboiled or kept for use. Brittle,
waxy syrup is required to make cake su-
gar. For dry grained sugar the syrup
must be concentrated before stirring, un-
til, when dropped upon snow, suddenly
cooled, it is nearly as brittle as rosin.
To make white sugar, the syrup when
strained, must be passed through animal
charcoal several feet thick. Charcoal,
when made Of wood, absorbs and wastes
the syrup.
The stated yield per tree, in good sea-
sons, is from to l.2 pounds.
The best form to prepare the sugar in,
for market, is in cakes, tons Of which are
sold in the streets, and shops Of cities, to
be eaten like candy, at 80 to SO cents q
pound, and the syrup will "out-sell," at
at any time, the very best "golden syrup"
that the market can afford.
