A Sister in a Tight Place.

The following is said to be from the
Northwestern Christian advocate, and will
doubtless ego the rounds The true pa
rentage of the story, however, is somewhat
doubtful. The story runs as follows:
stAs L, one Saturday evening, IA
tigued by his long journey, a WAGNER, with
his son John, drove his team into the place,
and determined to pass the Sabbath enjoy
ing season of worship with the good peo-
pie of the village.
When the time for worship arrived, John
was sent to watch the team, and the wagon
er went to church with the crowd. The
preacher announced his text and commenced
his discourse, but had not proceeded far be-
fore the old man was fast asleep. He sal
in close proximity with large and heshy
woman, who seemed to be deeply interested
in the sermon. She struggled hard with
her feelings, until. unable to control them
longer, she burst out at the top of her
voice, rousing the old man who, but hall
awake, thrust his arm around her waist, and
cried very soothingly:
sWo Nance Wo Nance Wo f! Here
John, cut the belly-band and loose the
britching, quick or she'll tear everything
all to h-ll r
It was all the work of a moment; but the
sister forgot her shouting, 'the preacher lost
the thread of his discourse. and the meet
ing came prematurely to an end; while,
deeply mortified, the poor old man skulked
away, determined not to go to meeting
again until he could keep his senses by re-
naming awake

ern village, when the plate was being passed
in church, gentleman said to the collec-

This reminds us of similar affair thai
came off in this city. Three sporting
men" entered meeting house and remained
until the plate was handed around, when
one of the party placed dollar in it.
''I'll see that, and go dollar better, -
said the second, at the same time handing
his contribution, two dollar bill.

A Low VOICE IN WoMEN-Yes, we
agree with that old poet who said that low
soft voice was an excellent thing in woman.
Indeed, we feel inclined to 60 much further
than he has on the subject, and call it one
of her browning charms. How often the
spell of beauty is rudely broken by coarse,
loud talking. How often you are irresista
bly, drawn to plain, unassuming woman,
whose soft, silvery tones render her posi-
lively attractive In the social circle, how
pleasant it is to hear woman talk in that
low key which always characterizes the
true lady, In the sanctuary of home, how
such voice soothes the fretful child. and
cheers the weary husband

Recently. E. Merriam. of Brooklyn
Heights, the esclerk of the weather." wrote
as follows to the n. T. Times, about the
Aurora Borealis:-
..The auroral light is sometimes composed
| of threads like the silken warp of web;
these sometimes become broken and fall to
the earth, and possess exquisite softness and
silyery lustre, and I denominate these as
the products of the silkery of the skies.
once obtained small piece schich I pre-
served.''
The above statement of the renowned "E
NJ" drew out the following response from a
scientific wag in letter to the N. Y. EUen-
ing Post. It is quite to the pint
"LABoRAroRY HEeHLANDs,)
NEW YoRK, Sept. I, 1859. !
To The Editors of the Eoening Post:
I have received the specimens of Aurora
Borealis which you have sent by Moonray' Is
Express, and found them to correspond pre-
cisely with others which were collected in
this vicinity. Having subjected them to
chemical analysis, | append the result,
which you viii not hesitate to publish fol-
the advancement of science:
1st analysis gave boreal spears of crys-
talized sunbeams of pale yellow color in
tensely cold to the touch, and strong mag
netic smell.
Cd analysis gave very minute spicula
orange color. appearing under microscope
as splinters of rainbow.
Last analysis-Hairs of dogs tail.
This is conclusive. Mr.. Moonray's dog
died year since, and assembled to the thirc
sphere, beyond the great cycle. Coming
in contact with CAMS Major, terrible con
flict ensued, which made the fur fly. In its
fall it was converted into silk. and coming
in contact with the rainbows and sulphur
of lightning, hence its various colors.

How TO MAKE TOMATO F1Gs.-Pour
boiling water over the tomatoes in order to
remove the skin; then weigh them and place
them in stone jar, with as much sugar as
you have tomatoes, and let them stand two
days; then pour off the syrup, and boil and
skim it until no skum rises. Then pour it
over the tomatoes, and let them stand two
days, as before, then boil and skim again
After the third time they are fit to dry, If
the weather is good; if not let them stand
in the syrup until drying weather. Then
place on large earthen plates or dishes, and
put them in the sun to dry. which will take
about week, after which pack them down
in small wooden baxes, with fine white SUI
gar between every layer. Tomatoes pre-
pared in this manner will keep for years.

A BLESSED CoUNrRY.-The Lansing
(Mich.) Republican, of the 18th, has the
following delightful picture of the state OF
health at Lansing:
Everybody in Lansing has chills and
fever, and the rest of mankind and
woman kind, have fever without chills, or
chills without fever. The doctors have
become so infatuated as to take their own
medicine, and of course they are fiat on
their backs also. Quinine has given out,
after having sustained itself bravely, against
an unprecedented run OF thirty days
Watchers are hard to get, and help harder
to come by. Literally, there IS no help for

a Hermit Dog

Report speaks of a Newfoundland dog
who has been seen and heard lately at the
foot of precipice on the Niagara River,
just below the Suspension Bridge on the
Canadian side. The precipice is some two
hundred feet high, and the ledge at the foot,
upon which the animal is said to be, is in
accessible except by mechanical assistance.
He is supposed to pick, up his precarious
living from the fish and small animals on
his cheat" which is only half mile in
length. His bowling lamentations from his
rocky retreat are often heard at midnight,
and daring attempt to approach and save
him was rendered fruitless by his ferocity.
An additional romance has been thrown
around his fate by the story that he be-
means the loss of his master-lost by the
same catastrophe which placed him in his
present position.

SALT FOR HORSES FEET.-Salt absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere, hence it has
been, in some instances, applied with great
success for keeping the hard bound hoofs of
horses moist. The hoof of horses become
dry and oftentimes crack, thereby render
ing them lame, if the animals are driven on
hard roads. Battle the hoof and fetlock
joint with salt brine three times day, and
lameness from the above cause viii be avoid
ed. 1t is common practice with some
blacksmiths to rasp cracked hoofs in order
to render them more tough, but salt brine
is far superior to rasping for effecting this
object.

Success of the Great Eastern.

We find, in the details of the run of the
Great Eastern down the stormy channel,
the following:
In the Downs the wind freshened con-
siderably, coming dead ahead, and for the
first time fair comparison of the Great
Eastern with other ships could be made at
sea. A heavy swell was running, and large
vessels were lying to under close-reefed top
sails. pitching deeply to the sea, and send
ing the spray in clouds from their bows.
At this time the Great Eastern was as mo-
tionless as rock. Now and then heavy
rollers passed her, but their size and action
could only be known by observing their
effect on other ships. A number of passen-
gers went forward to the extreme end of the
bows, and remained watching the stern OF
the vessel by comparing it with the line OF
the horizon to detect movement Only
by such rigid test as this could it be dis
cerned that the Great Eastern was moving
generally now and then, scarcely more than
foot along her entire length, as the waves
rushed under her.

PRIMITIVE HABITS IN OREGoN.-The Or
egonians must certainly be people very
simple in their style of living. The fol-
lowing incident of the discussion which re-
Gently took place in the Legislature of that
State, with regard to the Sentorial election.
will give us an insight..into the manners OF
those distant settlers:
s'Mr. Cochran said, I do not propose to
dictate to men as to what they should do,
but do propose to take this question up
as we do other questions, and I desire to
see it acted upon with as much judgment
as though there was no commotion in the
Democratic party, or in the country, on
any subject whatever. I do hope that gen.
tlemen will keep their clothes on, at least
while discussing the questions that relate
to the Senatorial election. (Laughter.)
"Mr. Tichenor-I would ask the gentle
man one question-who is without their
clothes Laughter.
9Mr. Cochran-The gentleman from
Goose and Curry (Tichenor.)
s.Mr. Tichenor-Well, have a right to
do so, but I am not without any clothes-I
have a shirt on, sir. daughter.
