NATURAL SCIENCE.

Its immense uses in the world may be seen in
the fet that in round numbers-for in all these
things we avoid minutia--of all the organic parts Of
man himself, so parts in 100 are carbon, derived
from his food, vegetable and animal, which con-
ains it in about that proportion on the average as
is also so per cent. of the substance OF the whole
vegetable and animal kingdoms. So that whatever

in hill, applying one spoonful of superphosphae
to each hill. hocd them oncc and dug thirty-four
bushels of as handsome potatoes as ever saw,
making 6s fold, in field culture. l must say they
are the best potatoes ate. lean sell % bush

THE KISSING DEACON.

In one of our puritanca towns OF New
England, says an Eastern paper, lived Dea-
con Brown, a very dignitied sort of u Christ
tian, perfect model Of propriety. Deacon
Brown had the misfortune to lose his wife,
and at the age of forty had found himself
with family of four small children, without
!, mistress to his farmhouse. As he could not
Immediately take another wife and avoid cN-
citing scandal, and could not get along with
out some one to take charge OF the Kitchen
and nursery, he had recourse to employing a
young woman as a houscmaid
Nancy Stearns was u laughing, romping
beauty who delighted in experimenting upon
the Deacon by way of testing the strength OF
human nature. For a long time the Deacon
was invulnerable; but at last III moment
of unguardcd weakness, he was led into
temptation, and committed u slight indis-
creton' with his beautiful houscmald. When
he recovered his wonted GOODNESS and pres
ence of mind, he was horrlllcd at the enolmi-
ty of his sin In vain he repented and griev-
ed of lost virtue. Finally, rs 4 last effort of
easing his conscience, at the services on the
following Sabbath morning he arose and re-
uucsted the forbearancc OF the brothers and
sisters a few moments, when he electrified
them by making the following confession:
"My christian friends, you know that lost
nv wife some months ago, (sobs and tears)
and that Nancy Stearns has been keeping
house for me. And you know that have a
little child not year Old. Well, sometimes
that child would cry in the night, and it would
be a long time before | could quiet it, and
last Tuesday night-God forgive me the
child cried so hard that Nancy arose and
came into the room, and leaned over the bed,
to hush the child-and brothers and sisters,
her leaning over me there made me forget
Christ"
"What did you ?" demanded the minis
ter, sternly.
IEki-ssed hern' stammcred out the
deacon between his sobs, :" but have been
yerv sorry about it, and prayed to be for
given. and I want you to forgive me, broth
ers and sisters"
As the Deacon bowed himself upon his
seat like the mighty oak before the tornado,
Deacon Goodtellow arose and astonished the
audience still more by saying:
brothers and sisters, you have heard
what brother Brown has said now he wants
our forgiveness For my part believe broth
er Brown is truly pertinent, and am willing
to forgive him with my whole heart And
brothers and sisters, will add still further,
that if l had no wife and q pretty girl like
Nancy Stearns should come into my room,
and lean over my bed, and lean over me, I'd
kiss her, sin or no SIM

took place between that somewhat remarka-

during the war, and several week., after the

known only to the mysteries of the female

the private room Of Gen. Shermln AMI de-
manded Il commission in the medical depart
ment Of the army The fact is NOT publicly
known, but Gen. sherman is weak when Il
woman is concerned-that is % say, he would
run rather than have hard words with one Of
them; and the tears of y female rebel had
more terror to his soul than u thousand Beau
regards So, when the little doctor renewed
again and again her demand for an appoint

OF age, giving his name as jim Quinn. for an
outrage upon the person OF an elderly lady of
Baltimore city. The outrage took place near
the line of Baltimore county, in Hartford, five

nm INTO the woods, almost in sight of her
irlehd 5 house. In her struggles nearly all
her clothing was torn off. and afterwards she
was lett suplne, covered with blood, tied by
the arms TO the bushes, from which she was
hardly able to release herself an hour after
wards.
She finally succeeded in making her wav to
the house, and gave the alarm. Quinn. who
it is alleged was raised by Mr. Robinson. was
a stout and powerful young fellow, perfectly
black. lie made good his escape, notwith-

ration above. His snderclothing was stained
with blood, and bore traces Of attempts made
to wash it away.
The prisoner was handcuffed and put on
cars to be taken to jail, but when at White
Hall, the train stopped and party of about
thirty citizens came on board and took the
accused in charge. A rope WAS put about his
neck, and he was taken to the Hartford and

DECAY OF IRON RAlLINGS.

Every one must have noticed the destructive
combination of lead and iron, from ratings being
fixed in stone with the former metal The reasor
for this is that the oxygen of the atmosphere keeps
up galvanic action between the two metals. This
waste may be prevented by substituting zinc fol
lead in which case the galvanc influence would bt
inverted; the whole action would fall on the zinc
