A BLACK BEAN SToRY.-On mild October
day, 1853, a little girl aged four years took
small shining hard black bean between her I'm
gers, and put it to her nose to smell, it disap-
peared. She said it was in her nose; surgeon
was called who upon examination, declared that
it conld not be there. The mother was quieted,
the child soothed, and ran about as if nothing
had happened, maintaining her high and vigorous
health On the afternoon of the eighth of May
following, it was discharged from her nose, by
the slight blow child can make, into q hand
kerchief; the moment she saw it, she cried the
bean the bean and ran with great glee to show
it to her parents it was now dingy, soft, shriv-
elled, and we found on measuring that it was
two eighths of an inch thick, four -eighths broad,
and five eigh,hs long. During theseseven months
the child never complained OF any thing in the
direction of the accident, except an occasional
smarting of the eyes On the previous evening,
she had been soused head and ears under water
in a bath tub, and the struggles incident to an
operation of that kind, most likely dislodged it
for in the middle of the night she walked up with
a startle and cry, and after some throwing her
self about, went to sleep in an hour, but was
fretful all next day until the discharge of the
bean, when her accustomed joyousness returned.
Lesson-Don't give beans to children for play

YEAST A APLANT.-Housekeepe will be inter.
ested in knowing that yeast is plant. When
examined under the microscope, says the London
Quarterly Review, it is found to consist OF glob-
ular syesicles,' about 1-2500th of an inch In di-
ameter when full grown. They are multiplied
by little vesices budding out from the SIDE OF
the parent. These soon acquire an equal size
and repeat the reproduction, either while at
tsched to the parent globule or after separating
from it. The multiplication goes on to an IN
definite extent, with fitting supply OF food and
a moderate temperature 60 deg's. to 80 degs.

in a portion Of the organic liquid in which they
exist decomposing this chemically, aud either
actually giving off or causing the separation at
their outer surface of carbonic acid in the form
of gas, which appears as bubbles in the liquid
This. however, is not all. Some phenomena
accompany the growth of yeast which involve
one of the most abstruse, aud, at present, OBJ
scure questions of modern chemistry. The yeast
ia a wasteful feeder. Not only does 1t decom-
nose so much of the liquid as 1t requires tor its
own nutrition, but II produces similar decom-

tinum upon mixture of hydrogen and oxygen

a MULTUM IN.PARvo CLooK.-A clock is ex-
hibited in this city, which not only does duty as
time piece, but boils the coffee for its owner,
and awskes him in time to drink it. Attached
to the clock on The right side is a brass plate,
lying parallel with the table or shelf on which
the clock is placed, and OF the further end is
coffee pot, fixed upon q frame, with spirit lamp
underneath. Between the clock and the coffee
pot is an alarm bell The apparatus is thus us
ed: Suppose person wishes TO rise and travel
at four o'clock 10 the morning; all he has to 90
is to set an inner dial to that hour, while the
outer or clock dial indicates the true time. de
also makes certain dispositions OF the lighting
apparatus, which are self-suggestive. Precisely
at 4 o'clock lever is moved, which causes
|drum to revolve against friction match, the
flame from which ignites the wick OF the spirit
lamp. In half an hour, the coffee is ready,
when another drum revolves, ignltes another
match, and lights candle, and the same time
the figure of monk pulls q rope and rings Ta an
alarm bell, effectuay arousing the sleeper. Inc
alarm ought, OF course, to be arranged 50 much
before the hour OF departure, as to leave time
for the coffee to boil, and the traveller to dress.
Half an hour is too long for practical purposes,
but this can doubtless be improved.-N. 7. Er-

PRESERVING BUfrER.-The farmers of Aber
deem, Scotland, are said to practice the follow
ing method of curing their butter, which gives
it a great superiority over that of their neigh
bors:
Take two quarts of the best common salt, one
ounce of sugar, and one ounce of common salt
petre take one ounce of this composition tor
one pound of butter, work it well into the mass,
and close it up for use. The butter cured with
this mixture appears of rich msrrowy consist
ency, and fine color and never acquires brittle
hardness nor tastes salty. DR.. Anderson says
81 have eater butter cured with the above com.
position that had been kept for three years, aud
it was as sweet as at first" 1t must be noted,
however, that butter thus cured is to stand three
or four weeks before it is used. If it is sooner
opened the salts are not sufficiently blended with
il, and sometimes the coolness of the nitre will
be perceived, which totally disappears after
wards

The GREAT EAsTERN.-This vessel has been
getting up wonderfully during the last few
weeks. The iron masts rise 1872 feet above the
upper deck, and have diameter of feet
inches for height of 70 feet, when they de-
crease gradually to Q feet inches at the cap
The three wooden masts, which are also In their
places are not built masts, but are single Sucks
The fore and mizzen masts are lao feet in height,
and they are "a inches in diameter at the deck ;
the jiggermast is l22 feet III height, and OF the
same diameter. The trees which formed these
masts were New Zealand pines. The ship is
built in water. tight compartments, and SO COM
pletely water tight are they, that few days
since the foremost one was filled with six thou
sand tons of water, pumped into it from the
river, and not drop escaped into any adlolnlne
portion. The object in pumping this mass OF
water into the forepart of the ship was to bring
her down at the bows, and raise the stern, while
they fixed the screws. This weight brought her
down until, said one of the men, "her nose
touched the water" She went down eleven
feet forward, and was raised seven feet ait;
portion OF her keel was in fact raised out OF tn'
water; and yet, so strongly aud SO rigldiy Is sne

ing the paddles, it is said, may be completed II

the screw is in the same state of forwardness
and on Thursday week the steam was got up to-
the first time in the boilers of, the screw
engines. The sums which had been expended
on the ship, up to the time of its memorable
launch, amounted to 9640,000. The whole ex-
penditure on the ship, up to the time OF Its 60
lug to sea, will be e970,OOO, and probably SOM

1 Have No Mother Now.
NV heart Is lone and sad to-day;
For now am an orphan boy;
have no mothers loving smile,
No mothers smile of joy.
All! yes do remember well,
That night, that dark and stormy night
The fell destroyer came and bore
That mother from my sight.
Her gentle voice is lingering yet,
That voice which oft did charm my ear;
That taught me how to bow the knee,
And lisp the Savior's prayer.
And shall see her face again,
And shall hear her winning voice?
Yes, on yon radiant shore we'll meet,
And evermore rejoice.
What if my heart is sad to-day,
What though am on orphan boy,
What If have no mother now
No mothers smile of joy?
NV heart is thrilling with the thought,
That she was lent to me, not given,
To teach me how to live on earth,
That we might live in heaven.

The First Couple.

BY CHARLES sWALs
When bright woman's glance and grace,
Fair Eve to Adams love was given
He gazed upon her beauteous face,
And thought that earth, indeed, was Heaven
Each day some new delight appeared,
Each hour some new attraction sprung;
And found each link of life endeared,
At last he found that she'd tongue.
Close hid within those ruby gates, UrI p.
With all those pearly guards TO screen il,
He heard her tongue-tradition states
An hour or two before he'd seen it.
She teased as only woman can, , ga
A power they've kept tor ages long
Her plan suns still the better plan,
Her tongue BY far the better tongue.
Despite her charms that sweetly bsamed,
Poor Adam thought before week,
That though perfection else, it seemed
A great mistake to make her speak.
Yet was she precious to his heart;
And as for faults-why, SIZE was young;
He would not with an atom part,
No-not a jot, except her tongue.
