A Vermont Story.

A quite laughable affair occurred at Pad
docks village the other day, that we think
will bear circulation. 1t seems that a
Young man of that village, who is in every
way respectable, for aught we know to the
contrary, has paid some slight attention to
highly respectable girl who was living in
the family Of Alonzo Owen. From the Sc
quel we infer these attentions were not dis
relished by the girl, but said Owen had
different programme, He had relative
over at the East village, or somewhere else,
that he proposed should ''shine up" to the
girl She preferred to chose for herself so
that when the young man first mentioned
asked her to attend the memorial exercises
on the Both ult, with him she consented.
After dinner ON Saturday, according to the
appointment, the young man drove up in
front of Ovens house, when the said Alon-
20 came out and ordered him off. While
the point of right to the highway was being
argued, who should drive up but the girls
father The first conner then appealed to
him, stating frankly his errand, and how
Owen was endeayoring to thwart his plans,
and closed by saying that if the father OBJ
jected to the arrangement between him and
the girl he would leave. During this pal
aver the damsel appeared at the open win
daw, when Owens wrath overAowed, and
seized her he pushed her up stairs and
locked the door upon her. Very soon after
this the scene changed. The chamber
window suddenly flew up, and the girl was
seen to spring out upon the ground, full
fifteen feet, and run for the wagon, follow-
ed closely by the young man and the en-
ragged Owen, who had early discovered that
the bird had flown, The girl sprang into
the wagon and seized the lines where she
was soon joined by her beau, but not until
Owen had struck him some three times.
As soon as both got into the wagon the
horse was started, and, not to be baffied,
Owen siezed one of the hind wheels, and,
holding it fast was dragged some distance,
until by thorough application ofthe whip
over his head he was induced TO relinquish
his hold, but, by way of parting salute,
seized stone weighing several pounds and
hurled it after them, which fortunately hit
the wagon instead of either ofits occupants
The young couple then went to the celebra-
ton, and when they returned atnight found
from so to 100 persons in the vicinity Of
Ovens house prepared to see that neither
Of the pluclxy couple got the clicking
which Owen swore he would give them
when they returned. Owen says he shall
sell out and leave town.-&, Johnsbug Cal

The Hermit Of the Thebaid.

From Charles Kingsleys last work, 'Srhe
Heunils. we extract the following fine
oriental picture:
These hermits enjoyed nature, not so
much for her beauty as for her perfect
peace Day by day the rocks remained
the same. Silently out of the Eastern
desert, day by day, the rising sun threw
aloft those arrows of light, which the
old Greeks had named "the rosy fingers Of
the dawn" Silently he passed in full
blaze almost above their heads throughout
the day; and silently he dipped behind the
western desert in glory Of crimson and
orange, green and purple; and without an
interval of twilight, in a moment all the
land was dark, and the stars leapt out, not
twinkling as in our damper climate here,
but hanging like balls of white fire in
that purple southern night, through
which one seems TO look beyond
the stars into the infinite abyss,
and towards the throne of God himself, -
Day BY day, night after night that gor-
qeous pageant passed over the poor her
mit's head without sound; and though
sun and moon and planet might change
their places as the year rolled, round, the
earth beneath his feet seemed not to
change, Every morning he saw the same
peaks in the distance, the same rocks, the
same sand heaps about his feet. He never
heard the tinkle of q running stream. For
weeks together he did not even hear the
rushing of the wind. Now and then q
storm might sweep up the pass whirling
the sand in eddies, and making the desert
for while literally o "howling Wilderness"
aud when that was passed all was as it had
been before The very change of seasons
must have been little marked to him,
save by the motions, if he cared to watch
them, of the stars, above; fer vegetation
there was none, to mark the difference be-
tween summer and winter In spring, of
course, the solitary date-palm heie and
there threw out its spathe of young green
leaves, TO add to the number ofthose which

stem. withering but not decaying for many
a year in that dry atmospheric or perhaps
the accacia bushes looked somewhat gayer
for few weeks, and the retama broom,
from which as well as from the palm leaves
he plated his Baskets threw out its yearly
crop of twigs; but any greenness there
might be in the vegetation Of spring turn
ed grey in q few weeks beneath that burn

perpetual summer of dust and glare and

DIAMONDS TO BE MADE "A French chem
ist informs the Academy of Sciences that
he has discovered means of fabricating
real diamonds, His process consists in va
porizing molten iron and condensing the
Vapor in peculiar manner, when, as he
says, the diamond fought to be" one Of the
products of the condensation. If a cur
rent of chlorine, he says, be made to pass
through cast iron when in state of fusion,
perchloride of iron is formed, which disap-
pears by evaporation, leaving the carbon Of
the metal at liberty, in crystalized state.
He does not say whether he has actually
made jewel; but NJ. Dumas, the Secre-
tary of the the Academy, says that the ex-
pertinent is worth trying; wherenpon, Once
a Week facetiously adds: "The experiment
will begin with vapor, 80 their is just the
possibility of its ending in smoke"

Mopp1Nol MonMoN PntAcnfns! -The

MoBB1Na MoRMoN PREAcHRRs The Liv-
erpool Albion relates that on Sunday after
noon two Mormon missionaries began a
mission in Shell Park, and one of them
held forth on the merits Of their sect to the
assembled crowd. For. some time this
daring attempt of proselytism was borne
patiently, and the Mormons were subject
onlyto occasional witticisms and small
practical jokes. At length well-dressed
man came and spoke to one of the breth-
rem, but seemingly without effect, for
having waited few minutes, and finding
that the harahgue still went on, he faced
about, and crying Friends, we'll have no
Mormons here, commenced to hustle the
preachers. The flame had evidently
smouldered for in an instant the unhappy
pair were surrounded by hooting crowd,
who hustled, bonnetted and pelted them
without mercy. 1t was with the greatest
difficulty that they escaped, and only after
having had most severe handling. Nor
monism is evidently not in the ascendant
in Liverpool.
