WHAT MAKES \ LADY.-When Beau Brum-
mel was asked what made the gentleman,
his quick reply was, "Starch, starch, my
lord 2" This may be true but it takes a
deal more to make lady and though it
may to some seem singular, am ready to
maintain that no conceivable quantity Of
muslin, silk or satin, edging, frilling, hoop
ing, founcing or furbelowing, can per
Sc, or per dressmaker, constitute a real la
dy.
Was not Mrs Abbot Lawrence just as
much of lady when attired in twelve-cent
calico, in Boston, as when arrayed in full
court dress at st. James, London? GAS
Mrs Washington was said to be so grand
lady" says a celebrated English visitor
Mrs. Thorpe), eve thought we must put
on our best bibs and and bands so we
dressed ourselves in our most elegant ruff
fles, and were introduced to her ladyship,
and don't you think we found her knitting,
and with her check apron on ! She re-
ceived us very graciously and easily, but
after the compliments were over she re-
sumed her knitting There we were with
out stitch of work and sitting in state,
but General Washington's lady, with her
own hands, was knitting stockings for her
husband" Does not that sweet republican
simplicity command your admiration?

DRIVING HOME THE cows.


Ont of the clover and blue-eyed grass
He turned them into the riverlane
One after another he let them pass,
Then fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows and over the hill,
He patiently followed their sober pace
The merry whistle for once was still,
And something shadowed the sunny face.
Only boy and his father had said
He never could let his youngest go:
Two already We're lying dead
Under the feet of the trampling foe.
But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs were loud in the hemeadow-swamp
over his shoulder he slung his gun
And stealthilv followed the foot-path damp.
Across the clover, and through the wheat,
With resolute heart and purpose grim
Though cold the dew ON his hurrying feet
And the blind bats fitting startled him.
Thrice since then had the lanes been white,
And the orchards sweet with apple-bloom;
And now, when the COWS came back at night,
Ibe feeble father drove them home.
For news had come to the lonely farm
That three were lying where two had lain
And the old mans tremulous, palsied arm
Could never lean on a sons again.
The summer day grew cool and late,
He went for the COWS when the work was done
Bat down the lane, as he opened the gate,
He them coming one by one:
Brndle, Ebony Speckle, and Bess
Shaking their horns in the evening wind
cropping the butter-cups out of the grass
But who was it following close behind:
Loosely swung in the idle air
The empty sleeve of army blue;
and worn and pale from the crisping hair,
Looked ont face that the father knew.
For southern prisons will sometimes yawn,
And yield their dead unto life again;
Aud the day that comes with cloudy dawn
Ju golden glory at last may wane.
The great tears sprang to their meeting eyes
For the heart must speak when the lips are dumb,
And under the silent evening skies
Together they followed the cattle home.

REMARKABLE FOUNTAIN IN FLoRIDA-Tak
ing narrow path we crossed through
some dense underwood, and all at once
stood on the banks of the Wakulla Spring
There was basin of water one hundred
yards in diameter, almost circular. The
thick bushes were almost growing to the
waters edge, and bowling their heads
under the unrippled surface. We stepped
into a skif and pushed off. Some immense
fishes attracted cur attention, and | seized
a spear to strike them. The boatmen
laughed, and asked me how far beneath the
surface | supposed they were. | answered
about four feet He assured me they Were
at least twenty feet from me; and it was
so. The water is of the most wonderful
transparency. Dropping an ordinary pin III
the water-forty feet deep-we saw its
head with perfect distinctness as it lay on
the bottom. AS we approached the center. |
noticed jagged grayish limestone rock
beneath US pierced with holes; one seemed
to look into unfathomable abyss. From its
gorge comes forth with immensive velocity
living river.
Pushing on just beyond its mouth,
dropped ten cent piece Into the water.
which is one hundred and ninety feet in
depth, and | clearly saw it shining on the
bottom. This seems incredible | think the
water possesses magnifying power for
am confident that the piece could not be
seen so distinctly from tower one hundred
and ninety feet high. We rowed to the
north side and suddenly we perceived in
the water fish which were darting hither
thither, and long flexible roots, luxuriant
grass on the bottom all arrayed in the
most beautiful prismatic hue The gentle
swell occasioned by the boat gave to the
whole an undulating motion. Death like
stiffness reigned aroud, and more fairy
scene l never beheld. So great is the
quantity of water here poured forth that it
forms a river of itself large enough to float
fat-boats with cotton, The planter who lives
here has thus transported his cotton so St.
Marks. Near the fountain we saw some
of the remains of mastadon which had
probably drank from it. The bones were
of immense size, and showed the animal to
have been one of the largest of his Glass;

Cons LOVE INEXHAUsTIBLE.-Suppo a
meadow in which a million of daisies open
their bosoms all at one time to the SUM-
On one of them, while it was yet bud a
little stone has fallen. At once crushed
and over shadowed, it still struggles
bravely against all odds to expand its pet
tails like the rest. For many days this ef-
fort is continued without success The
tiny stone, { a mighty rock to the tiny flow
er, squats on its breast, and will not ad-
NIT a single sunbeam At length the flow
er stalk, having gathered strength by its
constant exertion, acquired force enough
to overbalance the weight, and tossed the
intruder off. Up sprang the daisy with a
bound ]; and in an instant another floweret
was added to the vast multitude which in
that meadow drank their fill of sunlight
The sun in the heaven was not incommoded
by the additional demand The new conner
received into the open cup as many sun
beams as it would have received although
no other flower had grown in all the mead
OWN the earth.
Thus the sun, finite though it be, helps
us to understand the absolute infinitude of
its Maker When an immortal being, long
crushed and turned away by load of sin;
at length, through the power of a new
spiritual life, throws off the burden, and
opens with bound to receive heavenly
Fathers long offered but rejected love, the
Giver is not impoverished by the new de-
mand upon his kindness. Although a
thousand millions should arise and go to
the Father, each would receive as much of
that Fathers love as if he alone of all fallen
creatures had come back reconciled 70 God

O, THE ToNGuE.-The slanderer of which
ever sex is pest in any society. They
are a character made up of combination
of vices, the most prominent of which are,
lying, backbiting, idleness, hatred, revenge.
No single one, but altogether these vices
are found in their composition which make
them as miserable as they strive to make
Others Idleness is burdensome, envy in
creases to madness, and through lying
revenge is sought. This is but faint
picture lily executed of community's
greatest plagne.

HOW AN OIL WELL Is BORED.

A correspondent of the Boston Traveller,
writing from the oil regions of Pennsylva-
mia, gives the following description of the
manner in which oil is found:
'1n selecting spot for WELL the arte-
sian driller raises derrick about 10 feet
in height, bringing up steam engine OF
about six horse power, and then, after driv-
ing down an iron pipe about six inches in
diameter through the earth and gravel some
fifty feet or so, to the first strata of rock,
introduces drill, of about two and a half
inches in diameter, attached to temper
screw, and thence to the working beam"
and engine, with which he bores now at
the rate of eight or ten feet per day into
the solid slate and soapstone, say one hun
dred feet ; he then comes to the first strata
of sand stone, which may be ten or twelve
feet in thickness and boring through this
comes again to slate and soapstone of
blush cast, and working on, say fortwenty
feet or so, he reaches the second strata OF
sandstone, out of which there comes rush
ing up, when the right vein is struck in
fammable gas, salt water and petroleum.
The bore of the well is enlarged by rim
mer, and then an iron tube in sections of
about fourteen feet and closely screwed
together, is inserted in two sections and
run down to the veins of oil a fax-seed
bag, which expands when wet, is fixed be-
tween the tubing and the walls of the well,
in order to prevent the surface water from
descending ; "plunger," or Waived piston
is introduced into the tube, and the sucking
rod being attached to the "working-beam,"
the conduit pipes and tank, which may hold
sixty barrels, being in readiness, the engine
moves and the precious treasure gushes
forth. This is what is called pumping
we'll In the flowing wells" that is, such
as send the oil out spontaneously, the drill
must go down into the third strata of sand
stone, but this in some instances is very
deep IL well on Watsons Flat the drill
has reached the depth of three hundred
feet, and yet the third bed of sandstone is
not reached"

returned pair of trowsers to his tailor

GENERATION after generation have felt as
we do now, and their lives were as active
as our own. The heavens will be as bright
over our graves as they are about our
paths. Yet little while and all this will
have happened. The throbbing heart will
be stlled, and we shall be at rest Our
funeral train will wend its way, and the
prayers will be said, we shall be left in the
darkness and silence OF the tomb, and it
may be but for a short time we shall be
spoken of but the things of life shall creep
on and our names shdll be forgotten. Days
shall continue to move on, and laughter
and song will be heard in the room where
we died and the eyes that mourned for us
be dry and animated with joy, and even
our children will cease to think of us, and
will remember to lisp our names no more.

NUMBER Al.
OIL AND SALT IN NORTHERN FENN'A.

Of late there has been much light thrown
upon the theory of internal views of oil and
salt by the borer, and is acknowledged that
no exact measurement of oil or salt water
levels can be relied upon for the discovery
of either of the substance in the basin
where they are both known to exist, for
each have been found upon different levels
in the same basis, and without special re-
gard to the sandstone strata, or oil rock.
1t should be remembered that the course
of minerals flowing underground bears but
a remote resemblance to that OF rivers on
the surface there being in the one case
constant descent, with free passage from
the higher to the lower level from the
source of the stream to the ocean when,
in the other, the oil and salt vein in the
bowels of the earth may, from internal
causes, be thrown above or belowits origin.
In the western oil district Of the State,
where gas and salt water are found in the
same locality, it is considered a sure index
of Petroleum ; and, no doubt the same will
prove true in the northern oil district, where
they have strong show Of gas and salt
water, extending over territory embraced
in Bradford, Tioga, Potter, M'kean, and
Cameron counties, which cover the eastern
bituminous coal and oil basin of the State.
In this district the people are running wild
in land speculations, particularly on the
water of the SinnamehOning River and its
branches, where many oil and salt wells
are now being sunk. Some are already
down to the first sandstone stratum, and
producing gas and strong salt water; in
dicating beds of rock salt in that vicinity.
The water now boiling from out of these
wells, is producing more than one pound of
salt to the gallon, which is stronger than
the Tioga WELL where salt has been made.
Enough salt water is already discovered
and tested to know that Pennsylvania is
now independent of the Syracuse salt stock
monopoly, and will soon produce more than
she consumes Petroleum Recorder
