Two Romances.

The son of leading lawyer inNew
York, some years ago, was attracted by
the innocent face and quick wit of a
Welsh chambermaid in his fathers
house, and declared that he preferred
her to all the fashionable beauties who
had courted his notice
His family protested, but to no pur-
pose. The only concession lie would
make was to consent to go to Europe
for three years before marrying the
girl In the meantime, having an in
dependent fortune, the Low placed
her ut one of the best schools in New
York.
The girl was ambitious and devoted
in her affection to the man who had
chosen her. He returned, found her
more lovely than ever. They were
married, and the lady is now one of the
leaders Of society IL the city whore they
liye--a noble refined, charming wo-
man.
An eminent inrist, well known in
Pennsylvania in the early part of the
century, was making "the circuit on
horseback, and stopped for dinuer Mt
the house of Il farmer. The daughter
of the farmer waited on them, and the
Judge who had been synic about
woman observed the peculiar gentle
mes Of her voice and certain sweet
caudor in her face After dinner the
farmer said

Mary started TO the field, which was

her hands on the topmost rail, she

farmer C.s. At last sent Mary To
school fora couple Of years, and here
she is, noddipg to the stately matron
who presided at his table.
Tho sons of tine judge and this real
Maud Muller all attained distinction;
ono, like his father, at the bar another
was AN eminent divine, and a third was
southern candidate for presidency.
All were noted for their force elo-
quence, their high sense Of honor and
certain appetite for fighting which was
we'll sustained by strong physical
health. The Judge had not been mis-
taken in Mary's qualities Of mind and
body.

Mans Comparative weakness.

1t has been discovered that the flea
can leap two hundred times its length.
Our admiration at this is changed to
establishment when it is demonstrated
by calculation that if nature had en-.
dowed horse with degree of strength
similarly proportional to his weight,
he would have been able to clear the
Rocky mountains at bound, and
that with a like effort, whale would
be able to leap the height of two hun
bred leagues. What else can be more
unassailable than these conclusions,
founded on weight, measure and cal
culation?
tits true, that if, instead of com
pairing the weight of the horse and
flea, we had compared their heights,
we would have found that the horse s
leap would not measure more than
300 metres. Why is preference given
to weight2 Because it is the whole
body with its three dimensions and
density thata flea hurls to 200 times
its height, and it is the same feat of
strength that We demand in vain of
the horse. Calculations have also
been made to show, that il man
could move with speed proportioned
to that Of certain insects, he would
be able to travel more than ten leagues
a minute, or sixty times as fast as a
railroad train.
The Amazon ants, going to battle,
travel from 2, to and half metres
n minute. The Amazons of antiquity
to be even with them, judging by their
relative heights, should have travelled
eight leagues an hour. We have,
however, in this case, to compare the
forces with which given masses move
themselves, and should take account
of weights or volumes, Ii we pro-
coed by this rule we shall obtain form
idable figures that would stagger the
boldest imaginatons. The warlikc
inhabitants on the banks of the Their
medon would have to get over 10000
leagues an hour, Yet who can deny
the igor OF the measurements, or the
justice OF the reasoning?-,- Popular

AntIanltY Of Cotton.

Cotton, this well nigh indispensable
article to modern civilization, derives
its English name from the Arabic kot-
on. 1t is indigenous to the tropical
regions of both hemispheres. Her
odotus, $50 years b. c., makes the
first mention of it in history as the pro-
duct of trees in India, fleece more
beautiful and delicate than that of
the sheep, and speaks of cloth made
from it, 1t is quite probable that it
had been known and used in that
country centuries before that date.
In this country the manufacture of
cotton cloth appears to have been
well understood by tho Mexicans and
Peruvians long before the discovery
OF America by Europeans, Among
the rich presents which Corttz receiv-
ed from Montezuma were curtains,
coyerlets, and robes OF cotton, fine as
silk, OF rich and various dyes, inter
woven with feather work, that rivaled
the delicaey Of painting. The Mexi-
cans also fabricated the white cotton
cloth and even converted the material
into rude kind of paper. OF course
these ancient people didn't have the
gin nor the other modern appliances
Of machinery and power, but they APP
pear to have carried the manufacture
Of cotton to a great perfection with
the distaiI and spindle. So that the
cotton manufacturing industry Of tho
world, which to-day Is perhaps second
to no other enterprise, has had an
infancy OF centuries, and now seems
TO be m the prime Of youth, with Ia
manhood and old age yet 70 follow
