certain DR.. Thornton, who became very
much enamored of young lady, resident
of the same town. The'doctor was strono

strong and decided Baptist They were
sitting together one evening, talking Of
their approaching nuptials, when the doctor
remarked Il am thinking, my dear, of two
events, which shall number amongst the
happiest of my life

remarked the lady.

Sweet Susie Brown my pretty one
Pm sure you must remember
If not for love, at least for fun
The sleigh-ride in December;
When all the bellies and all the beaux,
In spite Of trosts would go forth,
And squeeze, beneath the bUtfaloes,
Each others hands, sc
How brightly streamed the Northern lights
Above the snowy ridges
How pleasant were the winter nights,
Observed from country bridges
Where ''toll" is sought with such address,
Mid laughter, fun and aattery;
And lovers feel amid the press,
Each others hearts, ETC.
'Tis very singular and queer,
OF all the mad devices,
Loves flame should burn so bright and clear
On fuel formed of ices
And yet we know its fame, indeed,
Most brilliantly will glow forth,
When famed behind flying steed,
Hid under furs, &c.
I'm sure you mind the village inn,
The supper and the revel;
How in the general dine and din,
Love shot his arrows level,
And don't forget how Harry Kidd
Embraced you in the buttery:
You kissed his lps-you know you did
anu AS hAooSu gOul6 w.
And when the forfeits all were paid,
How one old maid resisted,
Until the younger ladies said
A prude they all detested;
Desist p she cried-the ancient Ann
Her modesty to show forth,
"I'll never yield to any man,
My virgin lips" &c.
The wintry winds the homeward way,
Blew chilly in our faces;
But, underneath our furs, we lay,
All snugly in our places;
One girl upon the forward seat
The pretty Nelly Setteree-
Declared Jack Frost had pinched her cheek,
And Billy Frost, etc.
And then the parting at the door
Its tender, mutual blisses
Sweet lips, from their redundant store,
Gave to the poor in kisses
The parting word-the long embrace
Cupid's most dangerous witc chery,
Brought fire to many boyish face,
And raised sweet hopes etc.
Dear Susie Brown, save you and I,
Of all that load of merriment,
No other pair is left to try
Loves latest, best experiment;
And when the coming SHOWS are spread,
Our mutual hopes shall glow forth,
May Hymen, bless our nuptial bed,
Increase our joys, &c.

formed that Dame Partington is seriously
contemplating putting Ike to some trade or
profession. She says he is getting too en-
Eeloped in his physicure to be allowed to
follow the bent of his own thinklination

when they get hershoot on their physma-

WHERE DOES THE RAIN CONE FRoM.-
Mr. Glasher, in England, recently made a
scientific assent in balloon in rain storm,
to study the rain in the place where it comes
from: 'On the ground the rain drops were
as large as four penny pieces upon his note
book; little higher up they merely dotted
it like pin-points; higher, till it was a
Scotch mist, or wet fog; yet higher the fog
was dry, and at 8, 800 feet the balloon was
out of rain, though it was falling on the
earth. Above them, even at that elevation,
was the strutum of cloud which science,
without ever having seen, had daringly pre-
dicted as always above the overcast of a
rainy sky; and at the height of 1000 feet,
in descending, the balloon was in a current
of wind from one quarter, and the car in an
other from one nearly ppOsite-southeast
and southwest respectively; in other words,
the Columbus of the clouds had sailed into
the eddy between the continent currents Of
atmosphere which were mingling their tenn
peratures, and thus engage some of their
moisture for the behoof Of the cornfeld and
picnic parties.

this feature. Imagine her CONSERVATION

The Modes of SalutatiOn Of Different
Countries.

In Iceland, says Madanes Ida Pfeitfer,
the true national salution is hearty kiss.
That adventurous female traveller thus
describes a scene at the little village Of
Struvcllir, when service was over at
church, on Sunday that she happened
to be there:
The people poured out of the church.
1 counted ninety-six, which is an extraor.
dinarily numerous aSsemblage for Iceland
formed into little groups, chatting and
joking not forgetting, however, to moist
en- their throats with brandy, OF which
they had taken care to bring an ample
supply. They then bridled their horses
and prepared for departure; now the
kisses poured in on all sides; and there
was no end of leave-taking, for the poor
people do not know whether they shall
ever meet again, and when. In all Ice
land, welcome and farewell are expressed
BY loud kiss-a practice not very de-
liChtful for non-lcclander, when one
considers their ugly, dirty faces, and snuff
fy noses of the old people, and the filthy
little children. But the Icelanders do not
mind this. They all kissed the priest, and
the priest kissed them, and then the!
kissed each other, till the kissing seemed
to have no end. Rank is not considered
in this ceremony and was not a little
surprised to see how my guide, a common
farm -laborer, kissed the six daughters o
Judge, or the wife and children of ;
priest, or a judge and priest themselves
and how they return the compliment
without reserve. Every country has it
peculiar customs. The Laplanders pres
their noses firmly together.
In Tahiti, and particularly in the Socie
ty and Friendly Islands, persons toucf
the ends of each others noses. This salu
tation is returned by each rubbing th'
hand of the other on his own nose o.
mouth. The Tahitian presents persor
whom he chooses for friend sometime
with a part of his dress, sometimes witt
the whole. Modern civilization has In
troduced considerable changes upon thes'
customs.
The inhabitants of New Guinea cove
the heads of those they salute with leave
an action which is also regarded as
sign ofpeace.
In the Sandwich Islands they take eacl
other by the hand, rub their noses togeth
er. and at the same time, utter the wore
aloha" in low, wailing tone. In tn
Union group, consisting Of the three is
lands of Oatafu, Nukunono, and Fakaa

ENGAGEMENTS IN GERMASY.-An en-
gagement is naturally u great phase in
every woman's life, but it seems to be the
epoch Of German existence. There is no
mystcry-no concealment about it. As
soon as the betrothal takes place it is an
nounced to the world-to the acquaint-
ances by cards, sometimes by an advertise
ment in the papers; and to society in
general, by the happy pair appearing in
public arm in arm. The young lady is
bound to look as though she were in the
seventh heaven, and generally clasps both
hands tightly around her lovers arm, as if
to prevent all possibility OF escape. She
must also loudly proclaim his perfcctions
and her happiness-have no hesitation in
speaking about him, nor in kissing him
before folks-reserve in these cases is not
understood. The gentleman seems to
take it as easy as he can, but, as usual, is
far more awkward in his new situation
than is his fair one. After all, it is not
comfortable for a poor man, who has al
ways been accustomed to walk alone and
swing his arms, to find them hampered
by girl clutching at them, and to have
her cr;noline always beating about his
legs. Then, if she be short, he must not
walk uprght-he must go crooked, as if
drawn down by the interesting weight
hanging on him-if she be tall, her bonnet
strings tickle him so, and he can never
keep step with his fair companion. 1t re-
quires great deal of affection to smile
under these circumstances. Until girl is
engaged she never takes any mans arm.
l wonder the young ladies do not learn to
do it i'll their dancing lessons-it would
be a great blessing to their lovers. Their
mothers cannot teach them, for as soon as
the honey moon is over man and wife go
their separate ways. The wonder is how
these attachments are formed, the sexes
have so little social intercourse except in
the ballroom. Fathers and brothers
spend their evenings at their respective
beer houses with their own sets, and the
mothers and sisters flock to the coffee
houses. They have their separate amuse-
ments and pleasures, until suddenly
couple tall in love somehow, and then
they are never seen apart; they become
inseparable, like poker and tongs, knife
and fork. or any other implement without
its fellow. AS long as the gentleman re-
mains in the town, his charmer dresses
much better than usual-but if he must
leave, she must leave all society, or if she
cannot help " breaking resolution" it is
essential that she should make "guy"
of herself. A peculiar toilct-covered
neck and long sleeves-in a ball room, is
as much sign of betrothal as our widows
cap is of bereavement.

New YORK CITY.-The annals Of history
contain no record Of such prosperity as dis
tinguishes the progress of this metropolis.
1t was fondly believed by the people of the
South at the commencement Of the rebellion
that ruin would speedily ovcrtake the North,
but more especially this city. Its unexam.
pied increase and prosperity having excited
the dire jealousy of the citizens Of smaller but
greatly aspiring cities, New York was voted
by them greedy monster, absorbing the
principles of their vitality, and her downfall
was eagerly desired. The rebellion has con-
tinued now for three years, and, instead of
the ruin prophesied, this city has become
plethoric with success and prosperity. The
whole city is overAowing with plenty. There
cannot be found accommodations for the
thousands who flock here to partake Of the
universal increase Of wealth, to minglc in
the mad speculations Of Wall street, to par
take OF the multiplied pleasures OF the gayest
of citics.-Cor. Mercury.

WHAT THE REBELS ARE DOING 1T
CHARLESToN.-Colonc Davis, OF the l04th
PENNSYLVANIA, thus writes TO the Doylcs-
ton Democrat We have learned consid-
cradle about Sumter of late. Since our last
bombardment they have erected three strong
bomb-pCoOfS inside the fort 10 protect their
men. They are covered with sand and the
debris from the walls. They have four brass
guns mounted on the bomproofS, to fire down
on an assailing party. On the Sullivan's
Island side. in the lower tier of casemates,
they have mounted four heavy guns, which
command the channel. The garrison num-
bers three or four hundred men, vino are re-
lieved by others at stated intervals. 4 num-
ber of tOrpedOes have been sunk to anchors
in the channel; and among other things are
two old boilers, filled with powder, one OF
which contains three thousand pounds.
They are sunk in deep water, and it is ar
ranged to explode them from the shore By
means of wires. They have constructed
small steamers, something like the one that
made former attempt to come out and
blow up the iron-clads. They are building
four new iron-clads, one Of which is two
hundred feet long, and plated with four-inch
iron. The other three are smaller, and about
the size Of the two they already have atoat.
A few days ago one Of our shells exploded
upon the deck Of this large new iron-clad,
but did no damage. There are no places OF
business open in the lower part of the city,
except two grogshops. The big gun the
rebels imported from our neutral English
friend is mounted in the city, and points
down the harbor. The bore is thirteen inch,
and the ball weighs seven hundred pounds
1t is rihed. Its mate burst at the first dis
charge. The steeple of St. Michael's Church
has been struck twice, but not much in.
