SUBTERRANEAN LAKE.

The editor of the Reading Daily
Times, in a recent visit to the East Penn
sylvania Railroad shops at that city, thus
notices subterranean lake or cistern that
was discovered on the premises of the
Company:
"While going over the works we were
particularly struck with description OF
the we'll which supplies the water for the
different shops, engines, &c. 1t appears
In digging this we'll very hard bed OF
rock had to be perforated. This was sue
ceeded by softer stone, untit the bottom
of the we'll fell out ! This revealed to
the workmen a subterranean cistern OF
lake, the water of which was as pure as
crystal and the supply inexhaustible. No
bounds could be found to its southern ter.
mination, and the conclusion arrived a.
is, that there exists lake of some dimen-
sions, over which the workshops are
erected"

BEAUTY IN WOMEN.-A beautiful face
and figure are the two things in woman
that first attract the attention Of a man.
The second is foe taste, both In dress
and habits, and the third is common sense
What man most disiikee in lady's is
uutidiness, slovenly habits and affectation.
There is a medium between prudery and
relaxed behavior, which man appreciates
almost by instinct. Place man of genial
disposition, with disengaged heart, in
the society of a woman Of beauty. sense
and spirit-not toe much of the latter
and the chances are of Immediately falling
desperately in love. The poor wretch
cannot avoid it, and in his frantic efforts
to escape be falls on his knees at her feet
and avcws the might and majesty of her
beauty. All you have to do will be to
treat the poor fellow as kindly as you can
and make no effort to please him. Let
nature have her own wise way, and depend
upon it, you viii: be fondly pressed to the
warm bosom of some generous-hearted
fellow

SOUND AS YOUNG TIMBER.

Once on time not long ago good
hearted man and his long tongued, style
talking wife attended social party. AL
most every three minutes his wife would
check her husband thus:
Now, William, don't talk SO loud ~
Come, William, don't lean back or
the chair tina; way
Now, William, don't get noisy ovel
there !"
Say, William, let the girls alone and
sit bv TIE -
At last forbearance ceased to be vir.
tue, and the husband, who was really
pltied by all in the room, arose and
said
Il beg pardon of the company; but a.
my wife insists en heibg boss all the time
it is right She should have these !"
Ana he deliberately took off his pants
handed them to her, and sat down in bis
boots and drawers.
The company was astonished the wo
man burst into tears; the happy couple
soon went home; but Deither of them
wore pants.
How the affair was settled we canDo,
tell, but the last time we saw William he
had the pants on. We are inclined to
think she will not boss in con p ny in a
hurry-Hoimes County Furnaer.

How MANY INCHES IN A BUsHEL.-
The standard 5ushel of the United States
contains 2l504 cubic inches The I'm
perial bushel" is about 6S cubic inches
larger, being 22lS.192 cubic inches
Any box OR measure, the contents of which
are equal to 2150.4 cubic inches, will
hold a bushel of grain. In measuring
fruit, vegetables, coal and other similar
substances, one-ffth must be added. In
other words, peck measure FIVE times
ever full makes one oushel. The usual
practice is to cheap the measure" In
order to get on the fifth peck measures
must be heaped as long as what is to be
measured will lie on.

AN ELEPHANT ON THE RAMPAGE

AN ELEPHANT ON THE RAMPAGE
An elephant, named Romeo, became un.
manageable at the Ridge avenue depot, iu
Philadelphia, on Sunday night, during
the temporary absence of the keeper
He smashed one wagon, partly demolish-
ed car, and tore down about seven stalls,
and then made his way up Ridge avenue
travelled on that road northward for a
mile; tore down feoce or two, and
twisted of a small tree in a felf. Word
was sent to the keeper, who So eediiy arri-
we'd, and who soon subdued the elephant.
The huge animal was taken to the mera.
gerie, at Tenth and Ca!lowhiIl streets, be.
fore day-break, where he picked up a
man, threw him against partition, and
then, with his trunk, broke down a par,
of the stable wall. The elephant wei ghed
five and quarter tons, aud is now per-
tectly subdued. The amount of damage
done by the elephant will not exceed

VIGOROUS OLD AGE.-An old lady
residing in the lower part Of this county,
SO years Of age, walked to Reading, a
few days ago, Z distance of 16 miles
Most of our young ladies', now a-days,
consider it quite hardship to walk a
mile, and on accomplishing that distance,
are overcome with fatigue. The old lady
referred to, in a conversation with a gen
tleman from Lebanon, the other day, re-
marked that when she was young, she did
all kinds Of farm work, and she liked it
alNwell enough except saving wood. In
those days breath was not squeezed out of
the body with tight lacing, and the minds

To PREVENT HORSES KIcKING.-
Having horse that would kick every
thing to pieces in the stable, that he could
reach, and having found a remedy for it,
(after trying many things, such as fetter.
ing, whipping, hanging chains behind him
for to kick against, &c, y l send it to you.
1t is simply fastening q short trace chain,
about two feet long, by strap, to each
hind foot, and let him do his own whip
ping if he cannot stand still without it,
and he will not need to have boards rail-
ed to his stall every day.-Coamt,y Ger

WORKSHOPS FOR FARMERS.

II is always perplexing and unpleasant,
and not unfrequently cause of much ex-
pense, to be compelled to run to the car
penter or blacksmith every time hinge
is to be replaced, wheelbarrow injured
or strap broken. To obyiate such con.
tingency, the farmer should either be hun.
self or have in his employ one who can
repair such injuries, and be should also
provide accommodations and tools which
will enable him to do it. A workshop,
with good bench, vice. and al, the vari-
oas tools required in the performance of
the more simple details, should be among
the buildings Of every homestead A lit.
tie skill in the use of tools-and this any
person of moderate capacities can readily
acquire-will enable one to save many
dollars, annually, besides furnishing pleas-
urable and profitable employment for many
an otherwise idle aud perhaps painful
hour. Here should be found white sash, T,
paints, oils and brushes cements, pru-
ming and grating tools, syringes for irri-
eating plants glass, nails, screws, putty,
glazing tools, and indeed, every article
that may be required in keeping the prem
ises and apparatus of the farm in a state of
complete repair.
Having once become accustomed to
these advantages and conveniences, the
wonder will be how it we're possible that
they were not introduced long before

LIVING AND DYING-Two men were
once disputing about the color of their
hair, in tavern where Bruten was q
guest. The locks of one were gray and
the other jet black, although the latter
was much the Oldest. Bruteu was ap-
pealed to say which man lie thought
would live the longest. 'What nonsense
said Bruten show can / tell though
| should say that the younger person, no
doubt, will bs gray as long as he lives,
while the eldest man will be black as
long as he dies"
