The Chick in the Egg.

The hen has scarcely sat on the egg
twelve hours, when we begin already to
discover in it some lineaments of the head
and body of the chicken that is to be born
The heart appears to beat at the end of the
day; at the end of 48 hours two vesicles
OF blood can be distinguished, the pulsa-
ton OF which is very visible. At the 5Oth
hour an auricle of the heart appears and
resembles lace or moose folded down
upon itself. At the end of 70 hours we
distinguish wings, and on the head two
bubbles for the brain, one for the bill,
and two others for the forepart and hind
part of the head !; the liver appears towards
the fifth day. At the end of 131 hours, the
first voluntary motion is observed. At the
end of 1873 hours the lungs and stomach
become visible; at the end of 142 the in
testines the loins, and the upper Jaw.
The seventh day the brain, which was
Shiny, begins to have some consistence.
At the 190th hour of incubation the bill
opens and the flesh appears in the breast.
At the l9Sth the sternum is seen, that is
to say, the breast bone At the Cloth the
ribs come out of the back, the bill is visi-
BILE, as well as the gall-bladder. The bill
becomes green at the end of 236 hours /:
and if the chick is taken out of its cover
ing it evidently moves itself. The feathers
begin to shoot out towards the 24Oth hour,
and the skull becomes gristly. At the
264th hour the eyes appear. At the 2S8th
the ribs are perfect. At the 331st the
spleen draws near to the stomach, and the
lungs to the chest At the end of 355
hours the bill frequently opens and shuts
and tat the end of 451 hours, or the
eighteenth day, the first cry of the chick
is already heard; it afterwards gets more
strength, and grows continually, till as last
it sets itself at liberty by opening the
prison in which it was shut up. Thus is
it by SO many different degrees that these
creatures are brought into life. All these
pfogressions are made by rule, and there
is not one of them without sufficient rea
son. No part of its body could appear
sooner or later without the whole embryo
suffering and each Of it's limbs appears al
the proper moment. How manifestly is
this ordinstion-so wise, and so invariable
in the production of the animal-the work

/" Irregularities.'

THE Boston Transcript says: A few
days since, at an examination of the mas
ter's class at one of our public schools for
boys, at the South End, the lads had been
asked several questions regarding bank
discounts, interest and notes, which they
had promptly answered correctly. A
member of the School Committee then
said: "You seem to understand all about
bank discounts, interests, notes, etc now,
1 want to ask you the meaning of bank
term which may not be down in your text
books. What is meant by the term which
we read of so often called bank irregu-
laritiess'" 70 this question one of the
boys Immediately replied: "1f poor
man wrongfully takes small amount of
ANYTHING it is called stealing, and he is
punished; if bank officer steals large
amount of money, it is called an irregular
ity and he is not punished" Was not the
boy right in his answerY

A ROMANTIC incident, showing the pow
er of an earnest love to overcome the
most formidable difficulties, is reported in
the Colorado papers A Chicago youth
fell in love with Colorado maid, whose
father was so opposed to the proceedings
that he drove the young man from the
house with wrath and revolver Upon
this the earnest youth had the stern par
ent arrested for threatening his life; and
when the old gentleman was safely locked
up, by the judicious use of ten dollar
bill, he induced the same Justice of the
peace who had imprisoned the father to
marry him to the daughter. This done,
the old man was brought up for trial, when
he concluded to swap forgiveness with his
enterprising son in-law, who thereupon
magnanimously withdrew his complaint.

Weston fails of an election by the people
by 152 votes. The Senate stands five Re-
publicans to six Democrats. In the First
District there is no choice. In the Tenth
and Eleventh Districts the vote is so close

men are elected beyond doubt. The

Republicans and 156 Democrats. The
towns to be heard from will give, we
think, two Republicans and eleven Dem
ocrats. If so, the House will stand 1853
Republicans to 167 Democrats

of young men called the Broom-corn
Serenaders" They array themselves In
calico or homespun dress, and by moon
light call upon such young ladies as are
known to be averse to domestic work,
quietly sweep out the porch, gallery, hall,
etc, to appropriate music, and then retire,
carrying their brooms proudly in the air,
waving like the banners of victorious
army. When young lady SO visited ac-
knowledges the error of her ways, the
serenaders return in a procession headed
by music, each one dressed as before, bear
ing a homemade broom, and in the centre
a large, highly-ornsmented broom, with a
suitable motto carved upon it, and after
marching around the house they array
themselves before the front door, and,
with great ceremony and a suitable poem,
present said young lady with the orna-
mented broom. And then, amid cheers,
congratulatory sentiments, songs, and
music, they retire, waving their brooms
and shouting hosannss.

Or where, halt way, the mo untain side was fur

Love of the Beautiful.

Place a young girl under the care OF
kind-hearted, graceful woman, and
she, unconscious to herself, grows into
a graceful lady. Place q boy in the
establishment of thorough going,
straightforward business man, and he
becomes selfreliant, practical bust
ness man. Children are susceptible
creatures, and circumstances, and
scenes, and actions always impress, as
you influence them, not by arbitrary
rules, nor by stern example alone but
in a thousand other ways that speak
through beautiful forms, pretty pic
lures, ETC., so they will grow.
Teach your children, then. to love
the beautiful. Give them q corner in
the garden for flowers, encourage them
to put it in the shape of hanging bas-
kets; allow them 10 have their favor
ite trees teach them to wander in the
prettiest woodlets show them where
they can best view the sunset; rise
them in the morning, not With stern
"time to work p but With the enthusi-
astic "see the beautiful sunrise r. buy
for them pretty pictures, and encour-
age them to decorate their rooms in
his OF her childish way. Give them
an inch and they will go mile. Allow
them privilege. aud they will make
your home beautiful.

Put Yourself in Her place.

A young lady visiting in New York,
the grand daughter Of u Massachusetts
statesman. same home recently from a
ball, and bidding her good night at
the door, proceeded, as she supposed,
to her chamber. To her consteTnation
on tnrning up the gas, she discovered
number Of trihes scattered about
that told as plainly as inanimate things
could tell that she was in the apart
ment Of luxurious young bachelor.
At the moment of this discovery she
was Mortified to hear heavy step in
the hall, which was apparently coming
toward the room into which the young
lady had SO unfortunately blundered.
Following the impulse of her mind,
she locked the door on the intide, and
soon heard hand trying the lock.
She remained as quiet as a summers
day before a shower, and in moment
heard a tempest of words issue from
entry, which were evidently the up
braiding of an elderly gentleman to
his son for too frequent dissipating un.
the dawn CHASED the session Of the
stars from the night" Receiving no
answer the voice gradually died away
in the distance with murmurings about
bringing mothers hairs, in sorrow
to the grave, and then the young lady,
quickly unlocking the door, glided
noiselessly down the stairs, through
the front vestibule into the street,
thence to her own house, which was in
the next block.
Now, mark the sequel, which points
points a moral for all believers in
black spirits and white, red spirits and
gray. The possessor of the voice re-
ferred TO above--an elderly gentleman
of unquestionable respectability, and
who was never known to make a Joke
in bis life-asserted that on certain
night, at the hour when the church.
yards yawn and graves give their dead,
he was anxiously awaiting the arrival
Of his son, when he heard the front
door of his residence open and some
one enter the young gentleman's room.
He Immediately ascended, to have an
interview with his boy, but he found
the bedroom. door. locked, and there
was no response to his knock. Subse-
quently he saw q sight that chilled his
blood. A female figure in shadowy
robes glideed out of the apartment
and down the stairs, and about an
hour afterward his son came home ut
terly ignorat of the mysterious occur
renee. After believing for time that
there were more things in heaven and
earth than we dream of in your phi
losopy, pater families was informed by
the pretty ghost herself how she mad
vertenly found herself in = delicate
position,and how her woman's wit got
her outof it.-Boston Gazette. -
