AnecdOte of Handel.

Handel was extremely passionate, and Of
such remarkable irritability of nerve that he
could never endure to hear the tuning of in
struments, which process, therefore, was al
ways completed before he arrived in the or.
chestfa.
A musical wag, who knew how to extract
mirth from his irracibility of temper, stole to
an orchestra, on night when the Prince Of
Wales was to be present at the performance
of new oratorio, and untuned all the instru.
ments--sorle half note and others whole
note lower than the organ. As soon as the
Prince arrived, Handel gave the signal, be.
ginning con spirito, but such was the horri-
Bile discord that the enraged musician started
up from his seat and overturning a double
bass who stood in his way, he seized kettle.
drum which he threw with such violence at
the leader of the band, that he lost his full
bottomed wig by the effort Without waiting
to replace it, he advanced bareheaded to the
front of the orchestra, breathing vengeance,
but so much choked with passion that utter.
ance was denied him. In this ridiculous at
titude he stood staring and stamping for some
minutes, amidst commissions of laughter; nor
could he be prevailed on to take his seat till
the Prince went personally to appease his
wrath, which he with great difficulty accom-.
plished.

overcome by the fright and the sense of her
kinsman's danger, should they rightfully in
terpret the language which she had reported,
she sobbed aloud, and hid her face from sight.
Her tormenters did not stay any longer to
soothe Or question her They had got, as they
supposed, the information which they wanted,
and pushed rapidly on down to the river. Now,
the Governor had arranged signal with his
boatmen, that white cloth by day, Or light
in the night, displayed from the attic window
of his hiding place, which was just visible at
the mouth of the creek, should inform them il
he were in trouble, and put them on the alert
to help him. As soon, therefore, as he started
from his cousins, the signal foated from the
window to warn them. And when they saw the
pursuing party dash madly down the river
and recognized the British uniform Of the
leader, they pulled swiftly out to sea. The
horsemen reached the shore only in season to
see the boat, with two men in it, nearly out Of
sight, and, supposing their destined prey had
escaped, relinquished the pursuit.
Meanwhile, the hunted victim lay safe and
quiet where his little cousin had hidden him
until the time came for her return to the house
for supper Then he bade her go, as usual, tc
her home, telling her to ask her mother tc
place this signal lamp, as soon as it grew dark
in the window for the boatmen, and to senc
him there some supper, with his valise, which
in the hurry of his departure, he had left be
hind.
The signal recalled the boat, which afte,
twilight had ventured in sight of the shore
and the farmhouse and the Governor quiet
ly made his way to the river in safety. Wher
he rejoned his father in q secure home, ht
named his infant daughter, Which had beer
born in his absence, " tIetty Marvin" that he
might be daily reminded Of the little cousir
who had saved his lfe--StudeH and School

essary to keep the kiln heated both day and
night. 1t is commonly built of an oblong
form, and of two stories the lower part being
occupied by the kiln and the press-room, and
the upper part by the drying-hoor over the
kiln, and by room of about an equal size for
storing the dried hops, which will of course
be over the press room. Kilns are sometimes
built of brick or stone of a circular form, with
q round opening in the apex of the roof, sur
mounted by a movable cowl, or swinging ven
tilator, to enable the vapor of the drying hops
to escape easily. If the building is of wood,
the sides of the kiln should be lined with
brick, Or thoroughly lathed and plastered 1t
is found to be most convenient and economi-
cal to heat it with stoves, from two to four Of
which will be necessary, according to the size
Of the kiln. The drying-aoor should be ten
feet from the ground, that there maybe no
danger Of scorching the hops in drying. This
floor is formed of Stats about one and half
inches in width, and the same distance from
each other. These are covered with a strong
coarse cloth, Of open texture, so as to admit
of free transmission of the heated air from
the kiln below. The drying room should be of
comfortable height for a person to work in it,
and the sides should be lathed and plastered,
that there may be no irregularity of the heat
in different portions of the room during high
winds. A good ventiator should be provided
in the roof as described above. Openings
should be left in the walls near the bottom of
the kiln to admit fresh air from without, the
draught to be regulated by means of hues, or
sliding doors The cloth for the dryingAoor
should be well stretched over the stats and
firmly nailed On this floor the hops are
spread to the depth of six Or eight inches
The proper thickness will depend somewhat
on the condition of the hops. gee.
On the average, the hop nets about 500 to
the acre.

John Vine Hall, commander of the Great
Eastern steamship He had fallen into such
habitual drunkenness, that his most earnest
efforts to reclaim himself proved unavailing.
At length he sought the advice of an emil
nent physician, who gave prescription which
he followed faithfully for seven months, and
at the end of that time, had lost all desire for
liquor, although he had been for many years
led captive by the debasing appetite. The re-
cept, which he afterward published, and by
which so many other drunkards have been as
sisted to reform, is as follows: Sulphate Of
iron, five grains magnesia, ten grains; pep
permint water, eleven drachms; spirit of nut
meg, one drachm, twice a day, This prepara-
ton acts as tonic and stimulant, and sopar-
tally supplies the place of the accustomed Ii,

moral prostration that follows q sudden break

thoughts above this transient life, and opening
to my spirits vision the glorious scenes of that
"land Of life and light | have piano on

The heavy taxes imposed on alcoholic liq-

This crop is more uncertain than any other

spectators seize upon it and hold up the price
to the highest point at which the crop can be
sold, and when there is full crop the prices
sink lower than they should, because the crop
