Putting his Mark on Her.

One of the real old Mayo gentry, six
feet four inches high, stout in proportion,
rugged as one of his own mountain bulls,
and proud as a Breton, had attained the
age of forty and was still unmarried. He
was constant visitor at the house of three
ladies, not overburdened with money or
blood, but the youngest of whom was pos
sessed of beauty and skill in retort. Every
one said it would be a match; but years
rolled away, and the decisive words were
not spoken, though other suitors were
warned off by significant hints from the
formidable but undecided Mr. Blake. One
evening he called IN returning from the fair
Of Castlebar, and he found the ladies were
having a few friends, and an impromptu
dance. There were some officers lately ar
rived from India, whose regiment was at
Castlebar, and certain Captain Graham
had Mr.. Blake's lady, as she was generally
styled, fast locked in that half embrace the
scottische permits. The captain was an
adept at building up" which Irish and a
great many other ladies consider partners
bounden duty
Blake's idea of waltzing was as preju-
diced as Byron's and he had an ugly
scowl on his brow that would have fright
ened many men. as the lady passed him
with a slight nod however the captain on
ly pressed his partner the closer.
8 am sure you will like the captain,
for dear Mabels sake and we rely on you
to make it pleasant for him while here, .
said the eldest sister,
Mr.. Blake was standing with his back to
the fire, and drawing from bis pocket a
small branding iron used for putting initials
Oh the horns Of cattle by the purchaser, he
gave the turf quiet poke, and left the let
tered end in the hot ashes.
8 Your honor's lost her. whisp cred Pat
Casey, the old servant of the house, as he
handed negus rouud ''lhe captains less ta-
dlous than your honor in love-making"
" Well, Blake, you're done,' said Mr.
Browne. $ Waited too long, my boy and
the captain there will carry off the finest
girl in Mayo"
by heaven, then, he shall lind my mark
on her :" cried Blake and, as the waltzer:
passed, he drew the brand from the fire anG
clapped the red hot letters on the shoulder
OF Miss Mabel, just above the low dress
vi course there was deal Of screaming
and fuss, but the lady recovered sufficiently
to become Mrs. Blake, and l hear, never
regretted the event which at la st compel ed
her lover to speak his mind.
A friend Of mine told me, some time
since, that he had been staying with the
Blakes, and he could aver that Mrs. Blake
still wore high dresses on all occasions.

warm place by the fire for four or five hours
then knead it again for a quarter of an hour
cover it over and set it to rise again; divide it
into two or four loaves, and bake it in a quick
oven. 1t will take one hour to bake it if divided
into loaves weighing two pounds each, and two
hours if the loaves weigh four pounds each.
This bread need rise only once, and if made of
the best superfne -four, will be beautifully

In cold weather bread should be mixed in a
warm room, and not allowed to become cold
while rising.
If there is any difficulty as to its rising, set
the bowl or pan over boiling water.
1t Is best to mix the bread at night, and COW

People Who are Too Cool.

In the February number of the Galaxy,
writer discoursing upon the subject, gives
the following illustrations of people whom
he thinks were too cool:
have read of people who were too calm
and complacent. OF such a character, |
thing, was the conductor who, when he ran
over man, said be never liked to do it,
" because ii mussed up the track So" And
speaking of saws, and following this train
OF thought, | may mention a young man
from the country who went into hardware
store in New York, and raped great
buzz saw with his knuckles, remarked, * l
had an old dad ripped to pieces with one of
them fellers last week. l think that young
man exhibited too little emotion for the oc-
casion. 1t showed a lack Of tilial affection
only comparable with that of boy belong
ing to c primary school in Manchester, n
H., who assured his schoolmates that he
would soon be able to indulge in his favor
ite sport on the river with the best of them.
" Father" said he, q has gone to the war,
and when he gets killed | am going to have
his fish-line.
40 Sooh Z" p0i ool, uuutI tuo ClICuluSldu-
ces. as ever heard of, was young noble
man, who, in frightful railway accident,
missed his valet. One of the guards come
up to him and said: "My lord, we have
found your servant, but he is cut in two"
f" Aw, is he ?" said the young man, with a
Dundreary drawl, but still with some anxi-
ETY. depicted on his countenance, " will you
be gwood enough to see in which half he
has gwot the key of my carpet bag?" To
sensitive mind his anxiety seems to have
been misplaced. The same unconscious
ness to the awful aspects of death was ex-
hibited by man in New Jersey in 1859,
who was employed to convey to his friends
the body Of Mr.. Wilson, who had died
about fifty miles from home, of the cholera
On finding the house he knocked at the
door and the wife of the deceased opened
it. Does Mr.. Wilson live here? ?" asked
the man. eyes, said the lady, g but he
is not at home to-day" ''No, 1 know he
amt" said the young man, with a soothing
tone of voice, thinking to break the news
gently, =" but he will be in minute, cause
I've got him here dead in my wagon"
There was still more reprehensible moral
obtuseness in the remark of a man who
sentenced to be hung, and inquired of the
sheriff the night before the appointed day,
" l say, Mr.. Sheriff, at what hour does this
little affair Of mine come off,"

ia Il EROsENE.

Last week we spoke of the history of kero-
sene,-its chief localities, especially foreign
ones,-tle great antiquity Of its discovery and
use, &c; this week, let US cons lder its origin
and nature.
III this country, before the discovery OF Pc
troeum, kerosene wss obtained by the distilla-
tion Of bituminous, or soft Goals as gas for
illuminating purposes is still obtained indeed
the two are results Of the very same process,
dependent on the degree of heat employed. If
in this dstillation, high heat, as the cherry
red, is employed, The product is Illuminating
gas; q lower, or dull red heat, gives complex,
thick, black, greasy fluid, itself compound Of
many substances, some Of which are kerosene,
iubricating oil, paratine, naptha, &C.; and this
black, pitchy fluid, thus artifcially made, is
Identical, in its nature and composition, with
the natural product, petroleum.
These facts, in our opinion, lead by easy
steps, to the solution Of that great mystery,
The origin of these vast and inexhaustible de-
posits Of petroleum, or rock-oil. II any one
viii visit the gas works in this, or any other
city, they will see in miniature the whole thing.
few bushels OF soft Goals, distilled by a Ger
tain degree of heat, give petroleum certain
y as from oil spring. The world is but d
gigantic gas works, vast distillery In its
bosom lie, what untold quantities OF these b-
luminous Goals and in the depths beneath, as
volcanic fires show, is just the requisite heat
to change them into the liquid or petroleum
state. This, obeying the law Of fluids in gen.
eral, finds its way into subterranean caverns,
where it is tapped and brought out by human
appliances, or, by natures hand, through rvu
let's and springs, gushes into the light of day.
In support of this view, it may be stated that
petroleum, as general rule, is chiefly found,
as shown in a former article, where coal depos
It's and subterranean heat do, or have co-exist-
ed; and if sometimes found far away from
these conditions, it is not conflict with this
view,-any more than seeing the father of riv-
ers near the Gulf of Mexico, contradicts the
fact that its brit. place is 5000 miles away in
the Rocky Mountains.
Here is another striking fact which supports
this view Of the origin of petroleum: When
the distilling process has extracted from btu
minous coal all its vaporous and liquid ele-
ments, all that yield illuminating gas and pc
troleum-there remains hard, black substance
called coke, which is identical in nature and
composition with hard, or anthracite coal So
anthracite coal-the kind we use for fuel-may
be considered natural coke, the remains of the
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1869-02-11

vast body of bituminous coal, which, in the
course Of untold ages, in this great dstillery
of the world, with volcanic heat for its fires,
has given up its gas and oil elements to form
the rock oil fluid as above explained.
So, kind reader, remember-and always in
gratitude to the great Giyer,-thst while you
sit by your cheerful coal fire reading-these
words, we trnst-your light, whether gas or
kerosene, is only the blood and marrow which
nature, science and art, have taken from the
very coal that warns you.
Next week, we shall speak Of KEROSENE
