SNILEs.-A beautiful smile is, to the female
countenance, what the sunbeam is TO the land
scape. 1t eDlbelishes an inferior face, and
redeems an ugly one. A smile, however,
should not become habitual, or insipidity is
the result, nor should the mouth break into a
smile on one side, the other remain passive
and uhmoved, for this imparts an air of deceit
and grotesqueness to the face A disagreea-
BILE smile distorts the lines Of beauty, and Is
more repulsive than frown.
There many kinds of smiles, each hav-
ing a distinctive charactcr-some announce
goodness and sweetness, others betray sar-
casm, bitterness and pride-some soften their
countenance by their languishing tenderness,
others brighten it by their brilliant and spiritu-
al vivacity. Gazing and poring before mir
ror cannot aid in acquiring beautiful smiles
half so well as to turn the gaze inward, to
watch that the heart keeps unsullied from the
reflection of evil, and is Illuminated and beau
titled by all sweet thoughts.
Then there is a woman's sweet laugh, than
which there is not a natural grace more be-
witching. Its sound has been pleasantly CON-
pared to that of flutes on the water. 1t leaps
from her heart in clear sparkling rill and the
heart that it reaches feels as if bathed in a
cool, exhliratiDg spring. 1t runs the prose of
lips into poetry it filings showers of sunshine
over this darksome world in which we are
travelling, and it gilds with light and bright
someness all that it touches.

CoRRUPrIoS AT WAsHINGToS.-We see it
stated that certain parties who were given
contract by the War Department, about year
ago-without advertising for proposals as the
law requires-to transport provisions and mu-
nitions of war to Utah, have made, clear pro-
fit, over one million and q half of dollars, mi
nus the amount paid into the hands of some
body, for the purpose of carrying Lecompton
through the House. If all the facts involve I'D
in this contract, and its connection with car
rying Lecompton, or the English bill. last ses-
sion, could be spread before the world, it
would present one of the most nefarious pei
ces of corruption and violation of law ever
perpetrated under any government, or else our
information is grossly erroneous. But inves-
tigations are nothing more than legislative
farces and white washing operations now-a-
days, and the facts will probably never be
brought to light. We learn further that ex-
plicit charges of corruption have been sent to
a member or members of Congress, in regard
to the furnishing of the steam machinery for
one or more of the sloops-of-war ordered to
be built. Bids were advertised for, and the
party to whom the contract for furnishing the
machinery for one of the sloops was awarded,
bid Sl02 900, but have been paid it is alleged,
S130, 900. Whether an investigation into this
subject will be made remains to be seen.

MAKING TEEToTALER.

A short time since, young man living in
Ogdensburg N. Y, whose name we shall call
George, took TO drinking rather more than
usual, and some of his friends cndesvored to
cure him. One day, when he was in rather a
loose condition, they got him in a room, and
commenced conversing about deiir.am ire
mems, directing all their remarks to him, and
telling him what fearful objects. such as snakes
and rats, were always seen by the victims of
this horrible disease. When the converse
tion had waxed high on this theme, one of the
number stepped out of the room, and from a
trap which was at hand let large rat into the
room. None of his friends appeared to see
it, but the young man who was to be the VIC
tim seized a chair and hurled it at the rat,
completely using up the piece of furniture in
the operation. Another chair shared the
same fate when his friends seized him, and
with terror depicted on their faces. demanded
to know what was the matter.
"Why, don't you see that cursed big rat ~
said he, pointing to the animal, which, after
the manner of rats, was making his way a.
round the room, close to the walls.
They all saw it, but all replied that they
didn't see it-ssfhere Uds no rat "
ssBut there is!' said he, as another chair
went to pieces in an Intellectual attempt to
crush the obnoxious vermin.
At this moment they again seized him, and
after terrific scuffie threw him down on the
'sCharey, run for doctor! {"
Charley started for the door. when George
desired to know sswhat the dell was up.'
ssUp!'' said they, sswhy, you've got the de-
lirium tremensi"
Charley opened the door to go out, when
George raised himself on his elbow, and said
"Charlcy, where are you goingf'

The boys let George up after that, and from

Worse THAN LEAP YEAR.-The ladies of
Schuylkill county, New York, have a way, Pc
culiarly their own, of intimidating the men
into matrimony. The Rushville Times says
that one day last week, at Huntsville, young
woman, who had, or pretended to have, some
claims upon the hand and heart of Mr.. Thom-
as Watt, called at his store and demanded that
he should either marry her or submit to the
effects of the bullet. Mr.. w. refused either

AS love one day was out at play,
He met blooming lilly.
And on its bosom he asked to lay
His cheek-it was go chilly.
go to-" the wavy lilly said,
Il lack not for politene.s,
But on my word. Love, I'm afraid
Your cheek may soil my whitenesS."
'Say, nay, not so," Love soft replied,
'-You only talk for teasing,
'Tis summer sunlight at your side
Else-eyeryMhere is freezing"
Believing not Loves seeming toll
Was half he represented.
The pitying lilly all the while
Refusing-still consented.
But when the moon with downy tread
Came round TO wake the flowers,
Alas. the lilly's dropping head
Rose not TO greet the hours.
And tho the bees around its cup
At noon as usual dallicd,
oh never more were lifted up
The leaves which Love had sullied.

FRUITS INCREASED IN SIZE BY THE USE OF Cop
PERAs.--M. Dubreuil celebrated European
Horticuiturist, says that it has been proven
'' that melons and various species of fruit trees,
the green parts of which had been watered on
several occasions witt weak solution ofsulphate
of iron, yielded much larger fruit than those no,
so treated" He adds: "One of my pupils re-
peated the same experiments in 1854 and 1855
on pear trees. He gave the first watering as
soon as the fruits were fairly set, in the end OF
June. He repeated the moistening every fort.
night in the evening, in order to prevent evapo
ration and that absorption might be completely
effected during the night. The solution was a
the rate of 26 grains to quart for the last two
waterings. He sent us in the end of February
from tree thus treated, an Easter Beurre, 81
large that it could scarcely be recognized. H
obtained like results the following season. Blu
we doubt whether the results would not still b.
more successful if the fruits alone were moisten
ed with the solution; for then they only woult
| experience the stimulation of their absorptiv
powers, and would thus draw to themselves
much greater quantity of sap, inasmuch as lh
absorption by the leaves would be much les
intense. Experiments should therefore be mad,
with regard to this point. '-Trdnslatton a
