CI J APT Kit I. : C
Blight gladsome May-day!?the fairest niai- '
Ion in all the train of the merry "Queen of Sea- r
ons." May-day! what happy scenes this . *
\onl recalls?the day of all, days for child- [ '
mod's pleasures! I see the little darling trip- 1
ling along the streets of my native totvu with j
laskels on their arms, sinilpg on their lips and j
inppiness in their eyes, soon flustered in merry j
'rounds on some favorite spot in the suburbs, : (
aughing and chatting, arranging their pic nic j [
linners or sporting beneath the shady trees. J 1
But to my story. A mile or two from the* 4
illage of A. were collected some fifty or sixty 1
ittle girls and hoys for the purpose of celebra- j
iiig their annual holiday. The May-pole belocked
with flowers of every hue and form
owcred aloft, and around its base they frisked
ind gamboled like so many little fairies. Some *
ivere "wafted in the silken swing" high up a- 1
nong (he boughs of the beech and elm; others j
sought the brink of the rippling rivulet, and
[unused themselves with ruffling its smooth sur- 4
face or looking at their mirrored faces. Far
down the streamlet and alone was quietly seat- 1
i-d a little girl weaving into garlands the buds 1
snd blossoms which grew around her in wild
profusion, caroling with a bird-like voice snatch- ; :
es of some favorite air ever and anon raising
her violet eyes and looking round her in wondrous
delight ller childish face was striking- 1
ly beautiful, around her small perfect mouth
there rested an angel smile, and her short brown :
curls were parted on a forehead of' matchless
counter.
She wove and sang and smiled a sunny smiie i
and seemed wholly unconscious oi a pair ol !
bright black eyes fixed upon Iter from the op- j
posite bank. At length she turned as if to ;
listen, and soon upon the air floated distinctly
sounds of "Alice, little Alice!" and she bounded
away to Iter playmates. -No sooner bad she i
disappeared than the owner of the black eyes?
a boy seemingly of twelve years, clad in a green i
jacket, ornamented with silver buttons, loose ,
white trowsers, and wide-brimmed straw hat, j
which hut partly coucealed his glossy black i
hair?sprang across tire water and possessed |
himself of the tiny glove which lay forgotten
on the bank and which had ouce covered the
hand of "iittle Alice."
' m
"Alice my dove you have brought but one
glove from the May frolic."
"I lost the other one yesterday. I don't
think I forgot it May-day mamma."
"Well dear go put this one away until you
find the mate."
"Yes mamma."

'Tis night in a hoarding school. The doors 1
ol many small rooms open on the dreary hall ;
and llie gliiiimoiiiig light thiough the key-holes

through a nta-s of rich brown curls which j
stray in playful wantonness about lier snowy j
shoulders. The other is rummaging amid the !
I'k'gunt trifles which decorate the tallies*.
"Alice," she began many times liave 1 seen
this beautiful glove among trumpery and often
thought I'd beg of you its history but always
forgot it. Tell me now whose hand it once
imprisoned.
".Mine Kate mine. When a little child of
eight years old I lost the fellow, and put this
one away until 1 should find it. Years have
rolled aw ay, hut it speaks so eloquent of a happy
.May-day I then enjoyed, that 1 have never
been able to part with it, and still treasure it as
an index to the bright scenes of the past.
CHAPTER III.
Again I beg the reader to pass over two
years?short to you who possess health and
plenty long to those in disease and want?and
come with me to the heights of the Alleghnnies,
crowded with stately trees all covered with ]
3tiow and ice, with here and there, thick clam
boring evergreens looking all tlio richer for .
their hright unsullied winter caps. Slowly and
laboriously do the wheels of u heavy traveling ,
carriage wind along the rugged ascent while (
lie having Hanks and Diluted nostrils of j
the noble steeds bear witness to the toilsome
pathway. MuiHed in cloaks and furs we scarce- J
!y recognise in the inmates of the coach onr ,
two school girls lately emancipated from their
arrow cell and the thraldom of school laws.
Wc would willingly linger to admire with them ,
the grandeur and sublimity of those props of
leaven, but we will not attempt a discription
>f that which was among the mightiest works (
jf Him the Almighty, so we pass over the peril- (
jus and impressive journey, nor pause until j
igain in her own village on the steps of her j
(early beloved home, Alice Clayton is pressed |
:o her mother's bosom. (
Now under her father's roof, she has heroine i
the glad child again. We see her first with 1
ler companion Kate Carlo, wandering about j
the spacious drawing-rooms now tastefully ar- i
ranging the folds of the heavy satin curtains; |
>r decorating the tables with rich bouquets then <
trying the full clear tones of the piano, and at i
ast taking a delighted survey of the whole she |
trips away into the long (lining hnll, contcin- j
;>Iates a moment the iced pyramids, foamy \
floats, transparent jellies, drc., then, arm in arm, j
they seek their chamber, and are soon busily '
?ngaged in the witching duties of the toilet. J
Night hurries on, and the cold moon looks <
calmly down the quiet village; but soon, no L
ougersilent, we hear foot-falls, rolling carriages, ' j
he hum of busy tongues, and occasional! v a ! s
lilvery laugh floats out upon the cool night nir.
k'fore tin- stately, and now brilliantly lighted
nansion of Mr. Clayton they panse, ascend
he steps, and are lost to view. But we will
'i.ter aod look upon the happy throng assembled
here to welcome hack their former playnate,
sweet Alice Clayton. Ah, how tenderly
die greets them ! Now do her soft eyes light
ip and flash with intense joy as she received
ier numberless guests with una fleeted grace,
nesenting many to her visitor, Kate Earle. ?

retire to the whist-taliles, none marking
lie speedy llight of the rosy hours. Some are
here, strangers to the fair idol of the brilliant
roncourse; one of these, a youth of striking
ni*n and unusual elegance, is now seeking a
presentation from her father. With a goodm
mo rod smile, lie hows assent, and together
;hey seek our heroine.
Come, Alice dear, make your prettiest how
:o my young friend Percy Clifford. Then in a
nock whisper, he added, Guard well your heart,
ind left her, smiling maliciously at the painful
blushes which his remark had summoned to her
iheoks.
However, the low, easy tones of Clifford's
roico soon reassured her, and a half hour glided
away so pleasantly that her father's warning
was forgotten, or, if remembered, hut too late.
[ dont mean to say that Alice really gave her
heart away before the asking; hut that night
when she and Rale were repeating the sayings
and doings of their late guests. Perey Cliffords
name was oftener on her lip, and when, with
arms entwined, they slept the sleep of innocence.
Percy Cliffords musical voice, and
captivating smile alone hovered around her pillow.

finely modeled features of Alice Clayton gained
an indescribable charm from the warin feelings
of her pure, ardent heart, which sprang up irrcsistablv
to the surface. No wonder that
Percy Clifford yielded to the idolatrous affection
which grew and strengthened in his bosom
for the fair girl. No wonder that his passion
knew no restraint when he pressed his lips on
her innocent brow, and drew in liis clasp Alice,
his betrothed.
?
My sweet Alice!?my little Alice; for so I
love to call you. The dear name recalls the
little brown haired beauty who sat upon the
bank weaving into garlands the bright flowers,
while from the depths and her gentle heart
gushed out a song as witching and melodious
as the carolings of all the leathered tribe.?
Then, a boy, did I first gaze enraptured on
your infantile beauty; then did my heart unclose
to the lovely vision which it has since
treasured through years and absence, joy and
sorrow. My father always granted my requests
to prosecute my studies at this country seat
near.\., and, unknown, unnoticed, I followed
you through girlhood, and experienced my first
pang when you left me for tiie distant seminary.
None can tell the overwhelming sorrow, the
keen agony which succeeded your absence; my
onlv solace was to seek the streamlet and mingle
my boyish tears with its limpid waters.?
Again I met you ; and I have sin je wondered
how I could so well act the stranger?how 1
could speak so calmly when my heart was bursting.
Soon all doubts and fears were banished
?you loved me! I saw it in the tearful eye,
the flickering cheek. And now, Alice, dearest
one. von are mine! With this, vou see
this little glove. It will tell you how you have
always reigned, as now, in the heart of l'ercv
Clifford.
And how can I describe her joy ns, half
laughing, half crying, she kissed again and
again the lit tic wanderer, and how that night
she placed it mated in his hand, emblem of
themselves ?
Had Water and tub Western Fever.?
A correspondent writing to us from the western
p.irt of this State, says he has lately been devoting
some time to tbo study of the causes of
fever in the western parts of our country. The
first inquiry lie made was, "What substances
are contained in the waters at the West that
render them so unhealthy? And what substances
would purify it? lie believes that the prerailings
substance is ammonia, which is produced
by the decomposition of vegetable and animal
substances, and is a gas that water will
nticnrli in considerable nnnntitics. He believes
that filtering the water through substances for
which the gas has an affinity, will be the means
of purifying it and making it healthy.
There can he no doubt of the fact that had
water is the fruitful cause of many diseases.
It has generally heen remarked that the people
who inhabit districts where the water is pure,
?njov good health, and exhibit the same in
their countenances. There can he no doubt
that water containing ammonia is injurious to
loalth. lu the East Indies it is customary to
3oil the water intended for drinking, and then
ixpose it to the atmosphere until it cools. The
innnouia being very volatile, is expelled by
Joiling. Lime is an absorbent of ammonia,
iud so is plaster of paris and charcoal. It is
wonderful how small a quantity of deleterious
natter in food or water, causes disease; but the
ltmosphcre is as often, if not oftener, the elenciit
whereby disease is communicated to the
rrame. Were wo living in the West, and susjected
that the water we used contained dele:?jrioiis
substances, we would filter it through
?nnd and clay, and perhaps some charcoal.?
Hie charcoal, unless employed as the upper
ayer carries down some of its particles and
liscolors the water, but this can easily be presented,
and the water will appear like crystal,
filtered water should always be dropped from
?ome height and exposed to the air before it is
<lr;iiik; this is to absorb air, for, without air, it
has a rain-watery taste. We believe that too I
little attention is purifying of the water that is
used for cooking and drinking; and were more
attention paid to the purifying of it, some places
that are now famous for some diseases, would
soon know eothing about then) bat as things
Unit were.?S-'iriitific American.
?
Clmlfru.? Our exchanges from the Sooth
and VYcm hi tug us intelligence of a number of
fatal cases of this "terrible disease, occurring
principally at various (mints along the Ohio and
Mississippi fixers. There were twenty-five
deaths by cholera at New Orleans in one week,
recently; a few instances have appeared M
Memphis and Cincinnati, and there is a pros-^ .
pect, from the early period of the season al
which it has commenced its ravages, Uwt the
dreadful epidemic may visit the country with
more violence than has characterized it for a
year or two past. It is well in sueh cases to
be armed against Hanger, by being forewarned ;
and it liehooves every one, fur the sake of individual
and public safety, to avoid such imprudence
in diet and all other indiscretions that
can expose or impair health, as have a tendency
to invite the disease among ns, or to inetfnse
its violence should it unhappily break out "fore.

! in? the battle in which tluitcraftycbieAiuo last
I his life, and has passed through various heads
i to its presint proprietor, Mr. Russell. The offensive
part is of English manufacture, is about
six inches long, very narrow like an adze, and
seems suited to inflot an uglv gash. Tb*
handle is oak, beautifully stained, and is perforated
so as to answer the purpose of a pipe stem
to the head of the hatchet which is the bowl.
A strip of silver with the word "Tecumseb"
engraved upon it ornaments the face of the
weapon. We are glad to learn that Mr. Rnssel
intends to place it in the Cabinet of the'
Cleavt'land Medical College.

(Cj"A Western editor thus sura6 up the peculiarities
of a contempoary: "He is too lazy to
earn a meal, and too mean to enjoy one. Ha
was never generous but once and that .IflS,
when he gave the itch to an apprentice boy.
So much for his goodness of heart. Of hi*
industry, the public inay better judge, when he
states that the only day be was ever worked,
was tho day he mistook castor oil for honey."
