Business detained his friend until

to remain. The squire was generous

A little to the surprise of boths they

A few days Afterwards, the squire
remained in the garden some time after

being bad conductors of heat, would
require a great time to become heated
throughout, as solid bodies do, by con-
duction, in which the particles of
matter do not change their relative
position.
Suppose, now, that the sun shines on
large tract of land-for instance, the
Desert of Sahara; a vast volume of
air being thus heated. begins immedi
ately to ascend; vacuum is conse-
uuently left, and the air from all sides
Immediately rushes in to fill this
vacuum, thus producing wind This
is beautifully exemplified in the case
of Islands in the midst of the sea, as
for instance the West Indian Islands,
where we find the wind every day
blowing from all sides towards the
Island, thus constituting what is known
as the sea-breeze of the day. The
cause of the wind in such cases being
directed toward the Island is, that the
heating and consequent ascent of the
air takes place much more over land
than over water.
But, if the surface of land, receiving
Ia certain amount of heat, is raised in
temperature through five times as many
degrees as o surface of water of the
same extent would be, it follows as.
matter of course, that in losing
certain amount of heat, it falls in
temperature through five times as,many
degrees as water does; there is, there
fore, after sunset, much greater
condensation of air over the land than
there is over the water and the former,
increasing in density very nuch in
consequence. presses outward to the
sea with considerable force, the column
of dense air over the land being low
cred by thus flowing out over the sea,
has its height repaired in the upper
1egions by the air flowing in from
the upper atmosphere over the sea
to fill the vacuum this is condensed,
sinks down, and flows out to the sea in
its turn; and thus we have the wind
blowing continuously in q direction
exactly the reverse of its direction
during the day, and forming the evening
land breeze, so well known III the
West Indian and other tropical Islands.

A Narroao Escapc.--The following
anecdote is related by Fronch jour-
nal of General Fanti:
During theretreut of Novara, in lS49
the General who had the charge of saw
ing the remnant of the Piedmontese
army had given the most severe orders
to his troops. AS it was all-important to
avoid attracting tho attention of tho
Austrians, tho command was given
that no one, uuder'any circumstances,
should utter cry, or, above all, fire
run, without the command of an officer,
under penalty Of instant death. Ono
morning, during halt, soldier, hear
ing the neighing of horse in neigh
boring thicket, raised his gun and fired.
General Fanti, who was near, rushed
upon him in fury, sabre in hand, and
plunging the weapon in his breast ex-
tended him mt his feet.
Il will do tho same, he cried out, 'to
any one who attempts to initiate this
wretch who was either II coward or o
traitor
Ten years have passed since this oc-
curenco ten oyentful years, which
have transformed the victors of Novarn
into tho vanquished of Magenta and
Solfcrino. During these ton years,
Gen. Fnnti has sometimes related to.
his friends, with emotion, and COM
junction, also, this episode Of 'his
military life.
Il wos brutal ho would say, ''but
the safety Of the army was ut stoNe."
A few days since, before mis- depart
turo for the NoopoIitan Territory, ho
was nccosted in n public square Mt
Turin, by man, who placed himself
before him, saying:
DO you know me, GcncrnI "
Not the least in the world
But, General, look at me-
i am in hurry. Speak, who arc
your
sGonernI, If you have forgotton me,
] have kept remembrance of you IN
the bottom Of my heart, for your sabre
entered here several inches
At the retreat Of Noyara;'
Yes, General
'What! are you not dead 2
You see; but / came very near
it. ] had trouble in escaping
You can boast Of a tough life; but
do you know that you wero II very bad
soldier?'
i know that / am now n very poor
laborer.'
Come TO sec me tomorrow
The nozt day the soldier of Novnra
presented himself at the war Office.
Show nc my sabre wound demanded
the General. The Italian opened his
broust, and disclosed deep scar. 'Ah"
said the General, lit was good stroke.
Hold, here is somo lint that viii staunch

l.
being ugly, they cannot expect the
love of their fellow creatures. No man
can love an ugly woman; no woman
can love an ugly man; and if fathers
and mothers can love an ugly child,
it is very sore struggle, and may be
duty after all, and not love. Take the
case of Theodosia-fresh,f fair, twenty
three and passably rich. She has a
face and form that sculptor might
love to initiate; but she is pert-she
firts-she has a bad opinion of her
own sex and of the other-she has
no education of the heart or of the
mind-she has no taste for color, for
tune, for propriety; she is fast
she,is 'loud'-she is eaten up with
vanity and conceit, and thinks herself
the very cream and quintessence of the
world. In one word, she is ugly in
spite of her face and form. To look
at her is sufficient to know that she will
find no one to marry her except for
her money; and to prophesy that
after she is married her husband will
detest her. 1t comes to this-that
whatever physical nature may have
done or may have neglected to do
for us, the power of being. beautiful
remains with ourselves. There are
moral appliances that are better than
physical rouges and pomades to make
man or woman lovely and loveable.
1t is mind that creates face, and that
makes little David, strong in the L1rd's
grace, handsomer than great Goliah,
who is only strong in the devils favor.
And the superiority of this kind of
beauty over all others is this, that the
older we grow the more beautiful we
may become. There is one beauty
of the stars and another of the NOON
There is one beauty of youth, another
of maturity and another of old age.
Excellent are they all; but from its
completeness, as we'll as from its rarity,
the beauty Of old age is the divinest
of the three-the crown and compile
ton, of all the rest. Youth is beautiful
for it is physical and moral, but old
age is the happy union of the physical,
the moral and the intellectual qualities,
that generally command love, respect
and homage. [ know an old woman of
seventy-three years of age, of a
beauty as much superior to that of
seventeen as that of snowy Mont
Blanc to verdant Primrose hill. Lovely
are the snow white locks, neatly parted
over her serene forehead; lovely are
the accents of her sweet voice, that
speaks l ve-kindness to all the world
lovely is the smile that starts from
her eye, courses to her lips, and lights
up all her contenance, when she
fondlcs child, or gives counsel Of
wisdom to young man or maid; lovely
is she even in her mild reproof of u
wrong-doer; so mild and so gentle
so more than half-diyinc-tha he or
she who relapses aftcrward into wicked
ness, is reckless and hardened indeed.
| dislike ugly people. | said so at
first. | say so now. No one has a
right to be ugly; and if men and
women choose to be ugly, it is their
own fault, and they must pay the
penalty

A Thrilling Scene.

A talo of the sea- entitled "The Fair
Inez," by Artemus Ward, is given to the
patrons of Family Far in weekly chap
tiers. We copy from late issue the fol.
lowing account Of an interview between
the heroine and the corsair chief. 1t is a
true picture, according to all sensation
stories
When Inez woke, the storm had ceased
the wild night had passed, and the morn
ing was bright and beautiful.
The maiden looked around her. The
scene was passing strange.
She was lying upon a fine twelve dol
lar lounge, in an apartment Of sumptuous
elegance.
"Where am II" she murmnred.
"Safe, dear ladyp said a soft, Aute-lke
voice. "Safe from all harmn
Inez looked up. A misunderstanding
young man, arrayed in garments of red
silken velvet, thick-studded with dia.
monds of incalculable value, stood over
her, genial smile irrAdiating his fas-
cinated though swarthy features.
"Safs, ladyp he repeated. "You shall
DO the corsair's bride"
at don't SEQ it !" said the gentle Inez.
"Hal" cried the pirate, longest thou,
then, for the laughing hillocks and bel
lowing bullocks of thy own chilly cime?"

"If gold be your desire, said the pi-
rate chief, taking out his pocket book and
brandishing ten-dollar bill on the Wau-
kegsn bank of Illinois, "herc it isl"
'Aiscreant, l spurn the vile drossl
Besides, there's ten per cent. discount on

Battles on Sundays.

AS a good deal has been said in con.
domination of the military operations
which have taken place on Sundays, dur
ing the present war, it may not be unin-
teresting to cite some Of the examples in
English history of SUNDAY battles"
In the wars of York and Lancaster
the important battles of Towton and
Barnet were fought, the ono on Palm
Sunday, the other on Easter Sunday. In
the wars of the Stuarts we have the bat
tic of Edgehill and the later one of
Sheriflmuer, besides one or two smaller
actions, coming off on Sunday. The
Duke of Marlborough gained the great
victory of Families on Whit Sunday,
and Almanac, one of the few decisive
battles that English armies have ever
lost, was fought on Easter Sunday. The
battle of Val of Laffeld, near Maestricht,
was fought on Sunday, the I'd of July,
1867. The Peninsular war was fruitful
in Sunday fighting. The second battle
in Portugal, that in Vimiere, was fought
on Sunday, August 31st, 1903. The
battle Of Fuentes d Onor was gained on
Sunday, May 9th, 1911. On Sunday
evening, January 9th, 1872, Lord Wei
lington issued tho brief but determined
order that, "Cuidad Roderigo must be
carried by assault this evening at seven
o'clock" The battle of Others was fought
on Sunday, the 9th of February, 1914,
and that of Toulouse, tho last general
action Of tho Peninsular war, occurred
on Easter Sunday, the 10th of April fol-
lowing. The battle Of Waterloo was
also decided on Sunday, the 18th Of
June, 1915. The second Buanese war
afforded two examples. Easter Sunday,
the 18th of April, 1852, the attack on
the lines of tho defence at Rangoon, and
the attack and capture of Pegu on Sun
day, the 2lst of November, 1852. The
victory of Inkerman &as achieved on
Sunday, the 9th of November, 1854
And it was on Sunday, tho Goth of May,
1857, that the terrible Indian mutiny
broke out at Meerut.
Most Of the actions above mentioned
were attended with severe losses on both
sides, and perhaps they may be looked
upon as class, as having been peculiarly
bloody.

EEThere is often, (says Sir Archi-
bald Alison) no material difference be-
tween the enjoyments of the highest
ranks and thsse of the rudest stages of
society. If the life of many young Eng
lish noblemon, aud an Iroquois in the
forest, or an Arab in the desert, are com
pared, it will be found that their real
sources of happiness are nearly the same.
The treasures Of science, the refinements
of taste, the Injuries Of wealth, are, in
many cases, disregardcd or forgotten, and
the real cxcitation Of life depends upon
the destruction of wild animals, or the

SOMEBODY'S son.
BY TWILIGHT.

Somebody's son was out last night,
Bruisng about tho town;
And, if l mistake not, he was tight
"Tightas a Derby clown
know he's considered moral youth,
Ab0ro suspicious but that
Is no reason why, to toll the truth,
lie hadn't "a brick in his hat"
Daylight morality often takes
Strange fancies into its head,
And plays the DEVIL" or Jumps up snakes"
When the public rye is in bed.
Ny son can't dance" Somebody said,
For never lesson took ho''-
But he danced last night while you were in bed,
And Twilight was there to see.
You may call it dancing, or not, as you feel,
Though for half an hour, or more
lie daAoed, or jagged" a tanglo-foot reel"
In front Of my Office door.
." Ny son can't sing, Somebody swcnrs,
But he sung last night, | know
As heiiSh a song, MS n demon dares
To sing in the regions below
" Ny son don't imJibe," Somebody thinks,
Well, may be he don't but then,
That he acts very much like one who drinks,
Can be proved by hundred men.
Yet something was tight, yes, drunk, last nigh
So drunk II could scarcely crawl
Perhaps twas the brim of a crownless hat,
That found by my garden wall
So for foar am wrong and Somebody's right,
My hasty words recall,
And say that the thing l saw last night
Was nobody'S son-that's all.
