"M tsoN AND D1xoE's LINE. In conventional usuage, " Mason aud Dixon's line" is the bound
 ary line between the Free and the Slave States. Concerning the origin of that line, and its actual extent the following are the historical facts:
 On the 4th of August, 1763, Thomas and Richard Penn, and Lord Baltimore being to- gether in London, agreed with Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two mathematicians or sur veyors, to mark, run out, settle, and fix the boundary between Maryland on one hand and Delaware and Pennsylvania on the other. Ma san and Dixon landed in Philadelphia on the l6th of November following, and began their work at once. They adopted the peninsular lines, and the radius and tangent point of the circular of their predecessors. They next ascer- tained the northeastern coast of Maryland and proceeded to run the dividing parallel of latitude They pursued this parallel distance of 23miles, IS chains, and 2l links, from the place of begin ming at tue N. E. corner of Maryland to the bottom of a valley on the Dunkirk Creek, where an Indian war path crossed their route, and here
 on the 19th of November, 1161-ninety three years ago, their Indian escort told them it was the will of the Sioux Nation that the surveys should cease, and they terminated accordingly leaving 35 miles, chains and 50 links as the exact distance remaining to be run west to the southwest angls of Pennsylvania, not far from the Broad Tree Tunnel on tue Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Dixon died at Durham, Eng land, TIT; Mason died in Pennsylvania, I137

A SINGULAR SToRY.-Among the friends OF
my family was young Swiss lady, who, with
an only brother, had been an orphan in her
childhood. She was brought up, as we'll as her
brother, by an aunt and the children thus
thrown very much upon each other, became
very strongly attached. At the age OF twenty
two the youth got some appointment in In
dia, and the terrible day drew near when
they must part. | need not describe the agony
of persons so circumstanced But the mode
in which these two sought to mitigate the
anguish Of separation, was singular They
agreed that if either should die before the
young mans return, the dead should appear to
the living.
The youth departed The young lady by
and by marred Scotch gentlemen, and quit
ed her home, to be the light and ornament of
his She was q devoted wife, but she never
forgot her brother She correspouded with
him regularly, and her brightest days in all the
year were those which brought letters from
India
One cold winters day, two or three years
after her marriage, she was seated at work
near large bright fire, in her own bedroom
up stairs 1t was about mid day, and the room
was full oflight. She was very busy, when
some strange impulse caused her to raise her
head and look around. The door was slight
ly open and near large antique bed stood
figure which she at glance, recognized as her
brother. With cry of delight she started up,
and ran forward to meet him, excaiming.-
"Oh, Henry How could you surprise me
so? You never told me you were coming2"
But he waved his hand sadly, in way that
forbade approach and she remained rooted to
the spot. He advanced a step towards her,
and said, in o low, soft voice, :" Do you remem-
Der our agreement | have come to fulfill it,"
and approaching nearer he laid his hand on
her wrist 1t was icy cold, and the touch
made her shiver Her brother smiled, faint
sad smile, and again waving his head, turned
and left the room.
When the lady recovered from long swoon
there was mark on her wrist, which never
left it to her dying day. The next mail from
India brought letter. informing her that her
brother bad died on the very day and at the
very hour, when he presented himself to her
in her room.-AH The gear round.

MALICE OUTWITrED. The owner of saw mill
in the country, having q little enmity against
! a neighboring farmer, laid no less plan of
revenge than to get him arraigned as a thief,
convicted ard sent to the penitentierY. But
as the honesty of his neighbor afforded him o
fair grounds of accusation, he resorted TO the
foul expedient of secretly conveying some of
his own property upon the others premises :;
SO that it being found there, it might be proof
Of his guilt. For this purpose he took thou.
sand of boards, having his own mark on, and
at dead of night dumped them into the field
near his neighbor'S house. Bat the farmer
did not happen to be as fast asleep as his en-
emy supposed. lie heard o noise, or thought
he heard one; and getting up pretty soon after
~ satisfy himself on the subject by the help
of lantern he found load of boards, With
his neighbours mark upon them. How they
came there and why they came there, flashed
upon him at once. His course was promptly
taken. Allowing his enemy just time to get
home and into bed, so that the lighv OF buru.
ing pile may not be detected, he set Gre to the
boards which being well seasoned were in a
few minutes entirely consumed.
Early in the morning, as the farmer had an
ticipated, the sawyer came with a constable
and search warrant, to look for his property
" You are suspected" said the officer, "ef
having taken thousand of boards from this
man, and by virtue Of this warrant | hold in
my hand, must search your premises"
Very well" replied the farmer, "you are
at liberty to search as much as you please
But if you fnd the boards, I'll engage to eat
them for my breakfast"
You'll have something harder to digest
than that, l fancy" said the lawyer With
sHeer
He then triumphantIy led the way to where
he had dumped the boards, where he conf,
IDENTITY expected to find then, aud 10 there
was nothing bat a heap Of ashes His dis
appointment chagrin and modification may
be judged Of He sneaked away home and
the secret of his foul plot getting wind in the
neghborhood, the ghost from the ashes of
the load Of boards never ceased to annoy him;
until taking advantage of the darkness of
another night, he picked up his all and left the
country.
