And she went out of their lives, and
left them 10 each other in happiness

lRANsfINED. We shall never forget
| that evening we spent at Magruder's years
ago. We admired Miss Magruder, and
we went around to see her. 1t was sum
| mer time, and moonlight, and she sat up
on the piazza. The carpenter had been
there that day, gluing up the rustic chairs
| on the porch, so we took seat on the
step in front of Miss Magruder, where we
could gaze into her eyes and drink in her
smiles. 1t seems probable that the car
penter must have upset his glue-pot on the
spot where we sat, for a couple of hours
and drinking several of her smiles. we
tried to rise for the purpose of going
home, but found that we were immovably
| fixed to the step. Then Miss Magruder
said ''Don't be in a hurry" and we told
her we believed we wouldn't. The con-
Tersatlon had sadder tone after that
and we sat there thinking whether it
would be better to ask Miss Magruder to
withdraw while we disrobed and went
home in Highland costume, or whether
we should urge her to warm up the poker,
or whether we should give one terrific
wrench and then ramble down the yard
backward. About midnight Miss Magru-
der yawned, and said she believed she
would 90 to bed. Then we suddenly
asked her if she thought her father would
nave any objection to lending us his front
steps for a few days, because we wanted
to take them home for pattern. We
think Miss Magruder must have enter
tanned doubts Of our sanity, for she rushed
in, called her father and screamed. Ma
gruder came down with a double-barreled
gun. Then we explained the situation in
4 whisper, and he procured saw and cut
out the piece of step 20 which we were
attached Then we went home wearing
the patch, and before two O'Clock crushed
out our young love for Miss Magruder.
We meyer called again, and she threw
herself away on a dry goods man. There
is melancholy satisfaction in recalling
these memories OF youth, and rejecting
upon the influence of glue upon the
emotions of tho human haort

The grand list of this town shows the
valuation OF real estate to be S276, 1860;
personal property, s57, l0l.05; and half
million of dollars, in round numbers, will
probably purchase the town when all are
ready to sell out. Some of the less hope
full ones are of the opinion that the whole
town will be used up in taxes in few
years if the present state of high taxation
continues long. There is no immediate
danger of bankruptcy; its credit is still
good. Tobacco growers are encouraged TO
try again this season, and have extended
their fields for the growth of the weed"
hoping TO receive a large dividend in green
backs. The weather is not propitious now.
No rain has fallen of much account since
May nth, and few showers on the 18th of
the same month. Much corn planted since
the ground became dry has not come up.
Grass is drying up in some fields, and the
prospect now is that the hay crop will be
light. No one says, rain, rain, so away"
but rain, rain, come again." 1t has been
hot and dry so long we got the impression
that snow banks in Windham county would
such as were in places exposed to the SUMS
rays all the day long, but we were mistak-
en-. On June 9Th, only 10 miles from this
place, on the farm of Il. C. Farr, in Wards
boro, we saw the remnant of large snow
bank. 1t was on elevated ground, facing
toward the south, fully exposed 10 the sun
throughout the day. In its prime, 1t was a
giant snow bank nearly twenty feet deep.
In its declining days there was a revereu-
tial air about it, on account of its tenacious
life; and as we gave it a parting look we
were led to exclaim, "What is so rare as a
snow bank in June?'

PROFESSOR TI.vD.1LL .sT W.
.HG.4R.E FILLS.

The June number oftbe Popular Science
Monthly contains Professor Tyndall's very
interesting lecture entitled "Some Obser-
vatioDs on Niagara" He visited the falls
in November last, remaining for several
days, studying not only the beautiful eff
fects of the falls themselves, but the phys
ical phenomena which characterize the To-
cality. No one who has heard him lecture
or read his narrative of Alpine excursions
will distrust his ability in description, nor
does the account lack that spice Of bold adj
venture which gives the keenest relish to
all experiences. He has the scientists Gu
riosity all the time, and gives the results of
some additional studies of the theories of
light and motion made on the spot. He
ventures new explanation of the tumul-
tuous current of the whirlpool rapids. This
has been thought to be owing TO the pres
ence of huge boulders at the bottom near
the centre of the stream. Something of the
peculiar agitation of the water may be duo
to this, but the professor thinks 1t is chief
ly caused by the meeting and commingl-
ing in the centre ofthc river large waves
formed by the impact Of the river on the
huge boulders that cumber its sides, and
that the phenomena form one of the grand
est illustrations Of the principle of interior
ence. The vivid green color Of the water is
occasioned by the presence of solid matter,
as he has before stated in "Hours of Exer-
else in the Alps" He agrees with other OBJ
serv ers that the falls have receded through
the whole length of the gorge below. This
recession has not been due TO tho wearing
power of the water alone, but the erosion
caused by the particles Of sand borno in the
water, this erosion operating on the same
principle illustrated by the sand-blast APP
paratus which he saw for the first time In
Boston, and of which he speaks with en-
thusiasm. He also explains the causes Of
the horseshoe form of the Canada Fall,
aud shows that such form must have been
preserved from the starting-place and will
continue. Accepting Sir Charles LyelPs
estimate that the fall travels back ward at
the rate of a foot year, he predicts that in
the "proximate future" that is TO say, in
| 5000 years, the horseshoe fall will be far
above Goat Island. GAS the gorge recedes,
| IL will drain, as II has hitherto done, the
banks right and left of II, thus leaving a
nearly level terrace between Goat Island
and the edge Of the gorge. Higher up it
will totally drain the American branch of
the river, the channel of which in due time
will become cult Saable land. The Amer
lean fall will then be transformed into a
dry precpice, forming simple continual
ton of the cliffy boundary of the Niagara.
At the place occupie1 by the fall at this
moment, We shall have the gorge inclosng
right angle, second whirlpool being the
consequence Of this" Professor Tyndall
made an excursion under The horse-sh oe
fall, which he was told by the guide had
never been made before by any one but
himself.

the matter desired TO be conveyed may be

they will be regarded the same as sealed
letters, except that in no case will unclaim-

delivered within sixty days from the time
OF receipt they will be burned by postmas-
ters. Postmasters are not required TO de-

THE New ENGLAND FAIR.-For some
timo past the managers of the New Eng
land Fair have been endeavorng to obtain
q suitable location for their exhibition next
fall, in the vicinity of Boston. During the
past week they have concluded their work
by securing on favorable terms a lease of
the Mystic Park grounds in Medford.
They have also obtained about five acres of
land adjoining the grounds, between
them and the main Mediord turnpike on
either side of the avenue leading to the en-
trance of the Park. The location is an adj
mirable one, about four miles from Bos-
ton, accessible either by the Boston and
Lowell railroad, which has station less
than half mile distant, called Mystic sta
ton, or by the Medford branch of the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad, whose depot is n
little over half mile from the Park. There
is also horse car track passing directly
by the PARK over whica the cars can be
run. The racing track is mile in circum-
ference, and considered one of the best in
the country. The society will Immediate
ly commence work in getting the grounds
ready for their exhibition, and the contracts
are now being made.
