ENDURANCE OF HUNGER AND THIRST
BY HoRsE.-Tae Independent, of Ben
ham, Texas, gives an account of horse,
which, having escaped from its owner, was
found, in seven weeks afterwards, in thicket
about mile and half from the house
When he made his escape, he carried off
with him length of twenty feet of rope,
which was tied to his neck, and which, drag
ging on the ground, had caught in bush,
and kept him securely fastened all that time.
Unfortunately the rope had so caught, that
he had only twelve feet of tether to play up
on. During his bondage, he had, of course,
cleared circle round him, and in addition
to the grass within his reach, he had bitten
off two elm saplings four inches in diameter,
and eaten the stumps to the very ground,
and also the trunks and limbs, as long as his
lariot would reach. No rain had fallen du-
ring the period to wet the ground, and in
the last four weeks it had not even sprinkled.
The horse was an "American" horse, of good
size, and was fat when he escaped-when
found he was perfect skeleton. Great eau
tion was observed in giving him waser and
food after be was found, and hs rapidly re-.

WHY THERE is NO RAIN IN PERu.-1n
Peru, South America, rain is unknown, The
coast of Peru is within the region of perpet-
ual southeast trade winds. Though the
Peruvian shores are on the verge of the great
South Sea border, yet it never rains there.
The reason is plain. The southeast trade
winds in the Atlantic Ocean first strike the
water on the coast of Africa. Travelling to
the northwest, they blow obliquely across
the ocean until the reach the coast of Bra
I'll. By this time they are heavily laden
with vapor, which the continue to bear along
across the continent, depositing it as they
60, and supplying with it the sources Of the
Rio de 10 Plata and the southern tributaries
Of the Amazon. Finally they reach the
snow-capped Andes, and here is wrung from
them the last particle of moisture that that
very low temperature can extract. Reach
ing the summit of that range, they now
tumble down as cool and dry winds on the
Pacific slopes beyond. Meeting with no
evaporating surface, andwith no temperature
colder than that to which they we're subject
ed on the mountain tops, they reach the
ocean before they become charged with fresh
vapor, and before, therefore, they have any
which the Peruvian climate can extract
Thus we see how the top of thegAndes be-
comes the reservoir from which are supplied
the rivers of Chill and Peru. q

"I was once in the city of Washington,
examining heads, &c., and had rather bad
luck. I couldn't much more than make my
board, aud determined in some way to raise
the wind. So I one day sent the man who
travelled with me to a swamp, where he cut
two hundred sticks. These he drew to the
city according to my orders, and put them
on the street to sell as canes from the Mount
Vernon estate, and all of them readily sold
for dollar piece. Il don't suppose ad-
ded the madam, 'that a single man who
bought cane cared any more for Washing

nice idea to have cane from his farm,

you there is nothing like humbug. People
will pay more for it than for any thing else;
and so long as they will be humbugged, I
might as well make something out of it as
anybody

They resolved that she should go on visit
to the city of N, hoping that when
thrown into the midst of the hustle and ex-
citemeut of society, she would forget the
scenes over which she was continually brood
ing. During her stay at N -, Alice, at
the solicitation Of her friends, participated
in all the festivities of the season. But she
took part in those scenes with far differ
ent spirit from that which seemed to animate
those around her. Her thoughts were ever
of him who was wandering in foreign land,
or sleeping in the cold and silent grave
She bad always been fine singer; but now,
her strains seemed to breathe the air OF
that spirit-land to which she was so rapidly
fastening. So deeply pathetic, so enchant-
ing, so spiritual were her voice and tones,
that her songs seemed less like melodies Of
earth, than snatches of that seraph-musi,,,
which, miugling with the celestial notes Of
angel-harps, is forever rising like incense
around Jehovah's throne.
Whenever she was present at an enter
tainment, Alice's services as musician,
were always put into requisition, and as the
tones of her clear, sweet voice were raised
in song, the hum Of conversation would in
stantly cease, and admiring crowds would
gather around her, to drink in their melody.

UGLINESS,

Ordinary persons, peradVenture, may not
have remarked (what may prove comfort
to them) that true ugliness is almost as rare
a gift as true beauty: for how very few ill.
favored visages do We encounter that possess
not some redeeming feature of expression
I have known many an ugly face improve,
nay, almost grow handsome, upon acquain.
tance; and indeed, although beauty may
boast of the lavish beauty Of nature, ugliness
may honestly vaunt of her plain dealing.
am far from regarding ugliness in woman
as unfortunate; rather consider it as an an.
tidote to vanity, and prompter to the emu,
lation of goodness. And beauty, after all,
Gas wrinkled old maids and haze beens sagely
declare, is but skin deep. In my boyhood,
1 we'll remember young man (whom l have
often had the pleasure of meeting) whose
physiognomical possessions might certainly
be classed under the title of ugliness; in
sooth, he was an extraordinary young
man, both as respects his lineaments and his
learning. He was deep read-pale-pitted
by the smallpox, andpittied by every female
who beheld him. But he had mind that
minded not their imrertinent commiseration :
and, when his conversational talents began
gradually to be developed by the genial in.
auence of social converse, his opposite re-
marks, his critical reading, and his sound ar
guments, won all the listening senses of his
auditors; while insipid beauty was lost in
the fluent language of eloquent ugliness. The
"pretty men" of the party felt the unintelli-
gible desertion of the fair ones, and glanced
cautiously round at their sweetpersons, re-
aected in the mirrors, as they lounged list
lessly about, imagining that some alarming
revolution had taken place in their collars or
cravats, or some rebellious lock had stretched
itself ungracefully forth from their close
curled Roman crops or podles-than finding
all in statu quo, wildly wondered "what the
girls could possibly see in the fellow to pay
him so much attention ~ while others lisped
forth in voice half strangled by their stocks,
dispose the bellies are quizzing the Gorgon!"
Ugliness hath charms that pass notaway like
the bloom of a summer flower; therefore,
let not uglineas be put out of conceit. If
there be but wit and good sense behind the
repulsive mask, ugliness may even win the
favor and countenance of beauty.

the master of the village school mastering
his scholars to their task. I stopped, being
pleased with the looks of the old man and

lists, part under marriage name of Hart at
Tewkesberry and family in Stratford of
the name of Smith. i have Shakespeare

and pleasure. 'Here boys. here He

upon one boy, said, That is the Shakespeare

who gave Bill Shakespeare shilling this

ALICE VERM o U ,
BY TIM O N
CHAPTER. Y.


In less than a month after Wentworth
departure, Lucia Berkley left l.. And
scarcely another month had elapsed before
the news arrived, of her marriage with
gentleman of her native town. The inter
mediate time was spent by Alice Vernon 10
a state that is almost impossible to describe
Love and pride, two of the strongest pas
sions that can agitate the human heart, were
contending for the mastery in her breast
She could not entirely discredit Mary Clay
toms story; neither could she believe that
her lover was capable of practicing so base
deception. At times she was almost frantic
at the thought that the whole story might
be unfounded. At other times, she would
steel her heart to every feeling of remorse,
by attempting to convince herself OF Its
truth. But then the question would arise
even if it was true, had she pursued the
proper course in relation to it? Her con-
duct toward Wentworth had been regulated
on the assumption of the truth of what she
had heard, without allowing him any oppor'
tunity of vindicating himself. Thus the
time passed, until the news reached her Of
Lucia Berkleys marriage. Then ali hel
doubts were dispelled, and she perceived that
her lover was guiltless. She had indeed
been the victim of deception, but he had
been true. He had been made to reap the
bitter fruits of another's guilt, and her OWL
thoughtlessness. Heart-reDdiDg as was hel
grief at this discovery, it was more heart
rending still, when it's truth was fully con
frmed by the testimony of Ernest Graham,
who also related to her the incidents of his
last interview with Wentworth.
Parrhasius expressed the wish that he
ncould paint dying groan." Were we tc
wish that we could describe Alice Vernon's
feelings when she learned the whole story Of
Harry Wentworth's innocence and constancy
the wish would be quite as difficult of ac
complishment as that of Parrhasius. The
writings of the body, and contortions of the
brow, when the frame is struggling in the
agonies of death, may be family represented
upon canvass but the agonies Of heart
torn by the intensest love and the keenest
remorse, can never be faithfully described
by pen or pencil. "And he loves me still y
thought Alice, "iu spite of my coldness; in
spite of my rejection of all his advances; in
spite of everything! And now we are never
to meet again. Oh God if I could have

doubt the correctness Of my bill ?" replied
the merchant, using the Doctors language
on the former occasion. "You can examine
my books at my store at any time" The
Doctor saw his predicament and paid the
bill without further questioning, bat the
next time he made up his bill against the
merchant with dates and items, and the
trader did the same-both seeing that what
was reasonable in the one case proper in the
other. So much of the incident given above
as is not actual is at least supposable.

INDULGENCE IN DREss.-We object to
any indulgence in dress that may justly be
considered extravagant 1t developes some
of the most dangerous propensities of the
heart. There is charming incident in the
life of the Princes Charlotte, who was dis
tinguished for artless simplicity. On one
occasion, shawl of uncommon worth and
beauty, just received from India, was han
ded to her for examination. The price Of
it was three thousand guineas. She retur-
ned it, saying: "In the first place I cannot
afford to give three thousand guineas for a
shawl, and in the second, Norwich shawl
of the value of half a crown, manufactured
by a native Of England, would become me
better than the costliest article which the
loom of India ever produced" How many
females seek for the costliest articles, and
they will wear only those of foreign manu-
facture. Poor weak souls! Princess Char
lotte was an angel of light beside them
We recommend the reader to initiate the
example of lady in one of the leading cir
cles of Washington. A gentleman compli-
mented her upon the simplicity and taste of
her apparel. She replied 81 am glad you
like my dress; it cost just seven dollars,
and I made every stitch of it myself" 1t
is very evident from the foregoing that dress
is good or evil educator in the family
AS such it demands the attention of parents
that it may not become snare and curse to
children. Perhaps the best rule to regulate
dress is that which Newton gave woman
who asked his opinion. "Madam, so dress
and so conduct yourself, that persons who
have been in your company shall not recol-
lect what you had on."-Happy Home.

DocToR's BILLs.-Evcry trade and pro-
fession has its peculiar usages, its manners
and customs of long standing-some Of
which, if transferred to other business,
would appear less just than they are common.
One custom for which our friends of the
"faculty" claim the authority of established
usage, is their peculiarly summary and COM
prehensive way of making out their bills for
service rendered. Thus we have,-"John
Smith to Jacob Dosem, DR.. For attendance
and medicine for family from Jan. 18th to
date, $780," Items are never to be ma
med, as becoming the dignity of the profess
sion and the confidence proper to be placed
in the man who prescribes your pills and
powders. The incident narrated below hap
PLY illustrates the propriety of the aforesaid
usage. A friend of ours, merchant, re-
ceived his doctors bill, and upon glancing
at it, was surprised to find it so large
"Why," said he to the doctor, edo you ply
sicians never make out your bills with the
items specified? should like to see how
so large an amount is made up" The Doc
tors face Redeemed, while he protested that
his employers were not in the habit of ques-
tioning his bills. "Doyou doubt its correct
ness ?" inquired he, somewhat "touched." i"
"Oh, not at ALL" was our friends very calm
reply, ~ was only thinking it would be
satisfactory to see the seperate items. -
"You can examine my books at any time
you please to CALL" said the Doctor, and
bowed himself out somewhat coolly.
Thus ended the first colloquy, months
passed, and everything between the Doctor
and the merchant went on as usual. When
the time came to present another quarters's
grocery bill, our friend the merchant called
on the Doctor with a naked bill, running
thus: CDR Dosem to John Smith, Dr. For
sundry groceries, &c., from April 10th to
date, $685." "What does this mean?" said
the Doctor. "It doesn't seem possible that
have had so large an amount of groceries
at your shop in one quarter" "Do you
