Skating Courting in New England.

4 sensitive New Englander, writing from
Massachusetts,, Acknowledges himself caught.
and asks if he is net Justified by the circum-
stances which be relates. Here Is the case !:
" Wen sir, Mary caught the skating fever,
which is now raging 50 fear(ully. heard her
express q wish for a pair Of skates, aud the
next day she had the best pair that could be
found in the city. and nobody knew who sent
them to her We went down upon the ice
and there Mary Just sat quietly down, ordered
me on my knees. and qnietly placed that foot,
the foot in my lap, and bid me put on ber
skates. Sir had Venus dropped down from
Heaven, and told me TO rub her Down with
rotten stone and oil, it could not have aston
ished me more than when that divine foot was
placed in my unworthy lap. felt very faint.
but buckled on the skates and stood up with
Mary by my side No; we'll let me tell you.
You have seen a kaleidoscope, with few cid
bits Of glass. etc. in Tin tube, and turning ii,
have seen all sorts of beautiful figures. Just
imagine kaleidoscope substitute blue eyes
curling eye-lashes, lips ivory teeth. waving
hair, criuoline, gaiter boots, zephyr worsted

Mary and her victim in the first skating lesson.
Mary and | start-she on my left arm-all

Sented themselves TO my nstenshed vision, and
before | had time to wonder how they came
up before me, l felt them pressing their blessed
beauty with emphasis into the pit of my stom

waistcoat with such force that | felt the but
tons against my spine. Next-Mary gazeS at
me from between my jack boots, and anon her
blessed little nose is thrust into my shirt bosom
All my friend. all research and study on the
mysterious subject of woman has been compa-
ratively in vain till, in this eventful year Of
1862, the fashion of skating has opened new
and various sources of Information. Do you
remember your first attempt at driving tan
dem? Do you remember how that internal
perTerse beast that you selected for your leader
would insist on turning short round aud staring
YOU in the face, as if to ask " what the deuce
you'd be at?' Well, just you 60 and try
woman on skates, that's all-just try it. All!
won't you come to the conclusion that women
have sundry and divers ways Of accomplishing
their objects. Dear Mary! | offered myself to

Precautions.

l Never sleep in a room where there is any
green paper on the walls. as this color is made
of arsenic or lead the former is by far the
most dangerous. being Scheeles green, and is
known positively by drop of muriatc acid
on the green leaving it white
,. White glazed visiting cards contain sugar
OF lead and will poison a child who is tempted
to chew them from the slight sweetish taste.
3 Green glazed cards used for concert tick
cts, are still more poisonous single one of
them contains a grain and half of arsenic.
enough to kill child.
4. Never put a pin in the mouth or between
the teeth for single instant, because sud-
den effort to laugh or speak may convey it in
to the throat, or lungs, or stomach. causing
death in few minutes, or requiring the wind
pipe to be cot open to get it out; if it has
passed into the stomach, it may, as it has DONE
cause years of suffering ceasing only when it
has made its way out of the body through the
walls of the abdomen or other portions Of the
system.
5. 1t is best to have no button or string
about the garment worn during the night. A
long loose night gown is the best thing TO
sleep in. Many man has facilitated an at
tack of appoplexy by buttonng his shirt
collar.
6. If you wake up of cold night and find
yourself very restless, get out of bed, and,
standing on piece of carpet or cloth of any
kind, spend FIVE or ten minutes in rubbing the
whole body vigorously and rapidly with the
hands, having previously thrown the clothing
toward the foot of the bed so as to air both
bed and body.
:. If you find that you have inadvertently
eaten too much, instead of taking something
to settle the stomach. thus ad ling to the load
under which 1t lreadv Iahnre, tal.o a cunIiuu-
Gus walk with just enough activity to keep up
very slight moisture or perspiration of the
skin. and do not stop until entirely relieved,
but end your exercise in warm room, so as
to cool of very slowly.
/ s. Never put on a pair Of new boots or
shoes on journey, especially on visit to the
city rather wear your easiest. Oldest pair
otherwise you will be painfully disabled
9. A loosely fitting boot or shoe. while trav-
cling in winter, will keep the feet warmer
without any stockings at all, than tight pair,
over the thickest, warmest hose.
10. Riding against cold wind, Immediately
after singing or speaking in public, is suicide
II. Many public speakers have been disa-
bled for life by speaking under hoarseness of
voice.
u. If you happen to get wet in cold wealth
er keep moving on foot with rapidity suffi
cient to keep of cblless until you get into
the honse, and not waiting to undress, drink
instantly and plentilully of hot tea Of some
sort; undress, wipe dry quickly, and put on
warm dry clothing.
l3. Never go to bed with cold feet, if you
want to sleep sound.-LDr. Halls Journal OF
Health.

EederalS in Tennessee
Very respectfully, yours,

\ correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
furnishes that paper with some Interesting re-
ports Of what he saw and heard on a trip up
the Cumberland river on one Of the Govern
ment steamers. He says every cabin door
is open as we pass. and in every one a woman's
fnttering handkerchief is seen. Everywhere
women. children and negroes crowd TO the
banks to see steamboats, once more ploughing
the neglected stream, and wave their welcome
back 10 commerce and our flag but for doz
ems of miles not a white man is to be seen.
They have either been driven of by the rebels
or are of doubtful loyalty, and deem it prudent
TO keep out of the way. There are two mark
ed exceptions. Eddyville, pleasant little
river town, perched on the river bank some
forty yards above the stream, runs up the stars
and stripes as we approach, and greyhaired
men are seen at their landing. waving their
bats, and shouting and cheering till the tears
run down their aged cheeks. And at Canton,
long before we reached the place rugged na-
tured, butternut-clothed farmer is seen upon
the bank, shouting TIL one would think him
crazy, We been ground down, he yels in an
ecstacy of delight I've not dared to speak
word, I've been threatened with hanging. but
| knew it would all come right; glory to God
it has come - And more shouts and ecstatc
hat waving, while the boys cheer the fine fellow
as if they were splitting their lhroats
Three or four women are seen at cabin
door waving their handkercbiefs. \ soldier
carefully reconnoiters, and at last announces
8 boys, there's gal up there that's got hoops
on! Three cheers for the gal with the hoops
in this country And the gal with the hoops
gets three stunning cheers.
At forlorn looking little cabin on the other
bank woman appears, broomstick in hard,
and for want of handkerchief shakes her house
wies weapon aloft " God bless you," shouts
an enthusiastic old Major, who stands perched
on the top of the pilot house, you and your
Children and your children's children forever.
Y ou're one Of the right sort. Three cheers for
the woman with the broomstick. Hail Co.
lumbia = and then the old Major, unable to
contain his feelings longer in mere words, goes
off in a prolonged " Youp, youp, youp," to
which the lads on deck gave lustv resnonse

Col. Berdan, of the Sharpshooters.

The following aDecdote is told of Colonel
Berdan, who was always an expert shot:
Many years ago he was talking with
friend in the bar-room Of tavern at town
on the Kentucky side of the Ohio. In the
room was also one of those bowie knife bullies
who infested the South and West-a man who
had made himself dreaded wherever he was
known, by his readiness to pick quarrel, and
his skill with the knife, the rifle and the pistol
This man, stepping up to Berdan's friend, said
he wanted to speak to him.
Wait moment" was the reply. And the
interrupted conversation went on.
Soon the bully stepped up again, ard laying
his hand on the shoulder of his acquaintance,
said, in a tone of half banter. half earnest:
j, when I tell You l want you, ex
pect you to come
Certainly, certainly but Berdan was talk
ing about his invention, and it was so interes
ting that-'
"Oh, d-n those Yankee inventons, and the
scaly fellows who come to sell them"
The words were hardly well spoken when
the speaker was flying backward over a huge
open stove behind them, being constrained
thereto by we'll delivered blow between the
eyes from Berdan's right arm. There was a
tumult at once the men threw themselves be-
