BURL OR1 A EDDING I am an ardent admirer of fe ale beauty, and ought to have ,en an artist or a sculptor, but I n neither. I was a book-keepej r Brown & Co., wholesale deal s in hides and tallow. Henr3 ower, a young man of very live disposition, was employed ir o same office. We boarded an )do together. One night Henry and I attend I one of the lyceum lectures it . We had hardly been in th4 ll five minutes before my atten on was fixed upon one of tht .dies in the front seat. She wai little to the right of me, but a io was talking very earnestly < ie lady next to her, her face wai rned towards us; and suscepti le as I am, I could not but be im ressed by the beauty of' it. lndeed, I could not withdra 'y gaze from the beautiful yonno bdy before me. She had golde air, and her bluest of eyes swan ll of love and sweetness. He ose was small and straight, ani sie had just the prettiest, dimpi mong the blushes on eitbe beek. And then such a mouth Khat.red lips, teeth of pearl flash ig between the roses. Her fore ead was smooth and broad, an< er neck, I saw as the fur cap, rooped low on her shoulders, wa s white as alabaster and smootl a marble. In brief, I did no ear a -word of ti,e lecture. A month passed without m; seing anything of my beautifu trnger. But about that time aceived an invitation to visit m3 -iend, Mrs. Segard, in M. She it widow of forty, and is the m( her of a certain Miss Segard tnmiliarly -called Clara. I kney sat Mrs. Segard had tried ti ring about a marriage betweet lara and myself, and I believe as not much opposed to- th< atch. Clara was a good girl erybody said; a very prett: runette, with flaahing black hai nd eyes, but her form was short ick and dowdyish. I admire andsome form quite as much a handsome face. I might bav arried her-I really think bould, but for a little affair tha appened at U. ~The morning I started for M towers accompanied me to thi epot. While I was buying m: icket, 1 noticed another gentle an come into the waiting-room ly first thought was that it wa iv shadow that. I saw before me l was about my height, had gbt complexion like mine, an yes of grizzly-gray, and one hem turned in just like mine le had on a tall silk bat, tippe< n one side of his sandy locks, ani o did I; and furthermore, he cat ed in his hand a carpet bag, witi ,tag marked 'J. McD.' tied to thb irnna So did I. I looked at him and he returned' the compliment. 'I say, ,ir,' said the stranger. looking down at the carpet bag I d held, and examining the tag, 'are you John MeDougal or am I ? 'My name isAcDougal. I hope W you are an honest man, for, you ,see, if you should happen to rob a bank, forge a note, pick a pocket or cut somobody's jugular, I might have to suffer, perhaps swing for it. I can give you reference as to my charactcr,' I answered. 'Yes, th-tt's very good. But, Mr. McDougal, which way are you going to go?' 'Down. I have just bought my ticket.' 'Then I'm going up. I don't think we'd best travel together. There's the train startirnl now. Good-bye, Mr. MIDougal. I wisb you success, and for my sake don't spoil your character.' To get to M., which, by the. way, is a :-ather out-of-the way place, a small, one horse town, with one tavern, two churches - and a poor house, I had to leave the cars at T., and theo take a private. conveyance to M., five miles distant. I could have gone by the stage, but that leaves U. once a day .t five o'clock in the morning. So when the cars stopped at U I took my carpet bag in my hand, and got out upon the platform. There was quite a large number of people at the station, but I took no notice 01 any of them except a tall, brawny man, in a brown overcoat and slouched hat, who started for me as soon as I stepped off the cars. 1 was about to move away when slouched hat laid his hand heavily on my shoulder. -You are a villain V Sir ' 'I repeat it. Yvu're villain 'A miserable scamp,' said a cor pulent gentleman, coming forward 1 and scowling fiercely. 'Now, I felt that I was a natch I for the latter, but as to the other 1 one, I did not doubt but he might work me up into shoestrings in less than three minutes. 'Will you please explain your selves, gentlemen,' I asked, try ing to smile. 'Yes, I will,' answered the big one, put.ting great stress on the S'will.' 'Certainly,' growled the corpu 2lent gentleman with a smile. r Comie this way, you rascal,' said the tall one, drawing me aHn itomano followed us out back of the station, where we were out of sight and hearing of the rest of U. 'Now,' said the tall gentleman, Sturning and confronting me, 'I'll introduce myself. I am Captain tAugustus Boynton. This gentle man is my father, John Boynton. Do you know us now ?' 'Well, really,' I -eplied, wonder ing in my own mind what the deuce was coming, 'really I don't rknow anything mor-e about you than what you've just told.' 'Hush !' said the captain, and "he bent down and hissed in my rear: '1 am Carrie Boyn ton 's brother.' 'And I am her father,' growled John Boynton. 'Ah, really, do you say so ?' I could not help smiling, the whole affair seemed so ludicrous. 'Give my regards to Carrie.' 'Ha! you laugh at us, do you, villain ?' cried the captain. -Look a ere,' said he lowering his voice to I Ia horard whisper ; 'look at these.' 1 did look, for just then he drew from the pocket of his brown overcoat a handsome ease, *and, opening it, displayed a pair of splendid silver-mounted duel ling pistois. 'Take s our choice.' A cold tremor,ran through my B frame. Was I to be murdered ? 'Choose quick,' urged the cap 'Sir,' said I, in a tremulous voice, while the cold drops of per spiration stood out on my brow, 'there must be some mistake. I'm book-kceper for Brown & Co., dealers in hides and tallow. My father was Norton McDougal, my 0 mother was Mary McDougal, my grndfather was--' 'Confound yonr grandfiathei Either marry ny sister, as yo promised to do a month ago, a take one of these pistols and-' '0, help!' 'Dry up, you whelp !' and th captain chapped his hand over m; mouth. 'Choose,' said the captain, giv ing me a kick with his boot. 'I'll mar-marry her.' 'All right.' And the captain smiled grimi: as he returned the pistol to th case. The elder Mr. Boynton won after the carriage, but before had ceased to tremble be re turned. The captain helped we in. an< then seated between the chivalrii father and son, I rode away There were plenty of peopl< on the street, but I was warne< not to shout, if I knew what wa healthy for me. We rode at a umart trot fo kbout two miles, I should think and then the captain drew reii before a large, two-story whit house, that stood near the road iurroanded by a high white fenc yhere was a gravel walk up t4 .be front door, and oeveral largi >herry trees stood in the fron yard. 'Here we are,' said the captain Yetting down, and Imotioning ml jo follow. The door opened just as wi %;.ched it, and who should fall in o my arms but the identica Foung lady who bad made suct in impression upon my heart th iight of the lecture in W. 'Oh. John! I knew you woulc >e true,' she cried ; and the cap ain snickered as he led the wa3 nto the parlor. Bat once there I succeeded ir -onvincing Miss Boynton ~ that I was not McDougal. Her fathei Lpologized, so did the captain, anc he upshot of it all was that I OnsenLed to stop over night witL hem, and. I am -happy .to stat( hat I passed a very pleasant even ng indeed; 'I learned, too, that this J. Mc Dougal, for whom I had beer aken, v as a gentleman of wealth Lnd leisure, with only one fault nd that was promising to marry Avery pretty woman be beeam< equainted with. Then told m ~tory, and both Mr. Boynton anc heo captain seemed pleased, anc so did Carrie, especially when J >fifered to stand in McDougah' shoes. And-well, my dear read ar, I did about a month after wards. We had a great wedding and Clara Segard was one of th< bridesmaids, and Henry Bowei was groomsmnan~. And I am wel satisfied that McDOougar took th< ap train instead of the down. LEAVE OF ABSENCE.-On Mon day morning (says a Paris cor resp)ondent) a clerk applied to hi: superior for permission to be ab sent forty-eight hours on som< family affairs and received az affirmative answer. However, h< did not appear during the whole af the week, and no one knew t< Nhat cause to attribute his ab sence. On the following Monday morning he re-appeared at th< segular hour. 'Well, monsieur,' demanded his superior, 'why have you stayer iway all the week ?' 'You, sir,' replied the clerk gave m~e permIssion.' '1 gave you leave for forty-eigbl aours only, and not for six days. 'I beg your pardon, sir,' an iwered the young man, 'I have >nly taken the exact time wbicea 'ou granted me. We work herE ~ight hours a day, and six timnes light are forty-eight. I certainly 3ad no occasion to ask your per. nission for the night, any morE ~han for the hours which I do nol >we to the administration.' This was logical ; hut since thai lay the chief specifies by admin strative hours the duration of tb( eave he grants. The New Orleans Picayunie sayi that Pete Roleum is on the drol ance more.

Late iavestigations of German scientists have shown that the elee trie light is not only healthier than othe: methods of illumination in leav ing the air purer, but that it increases the power of vision in some respects es pecially in distinguishing colors. Red, blue, green and yellow are much more distioct under this light than by daylight. Two Leipsie chemists have devised a process for obtaining sugar in a per wanently liquid form. This result is said to be effected by adding to a pur rifled sugar solution a small quantity of citric acid, which combines with the sugar and deprives it of its ten dency to crystalize. Some experiments by M. Gautier appear to prove that human saliva r possesses, in a milder degree, tb same poisonous property as that of serpents. The human saliva injected under the Qkiu of a bird caused death, with symptoms very closely resem bling those resulting from serpent bites. A new theory of the so-called fa-. cination of- birds by snakes is that the bird mistakes the snake's tongue. which the reptile keeps ie rapid and constant motion, for a lively worm, and watches it intently with the an. ticipation of devouring it. M. Pasteur has risolved to extend his studies in vaccination to yellow fever, with a view of determining whether or not the disease is due to parasites and can be guarded against by inoculation. A broad field of in vestigation is open to Pasteur, as it is suggested by his discoveries thus far that all contagious maladies may be due to parasitic growths the virulence of which uay be so reduced by his method cf inoculation as to reader this class of diseases no longer a mat. ter of dread. A Neapolitan gardener, after years of experiment, has produced a camelia with a delicate perfume, and he thinks it probable that these flowers may. in the . near future be so culti vated as;.to rival the rose in the fra grance of its odor. Mr. C. Shaler Smith has given the results of extensive obervaons in re lation to the pressure exerted by the wind. The most violent gale re corded by him was at East St. Louis, in 1871, when the wind over turned a locomotiv'e, the force devel. oped in so doing being no less than 93 pounds per square foot. At St. Charles a jail was destroyed in 1877, the pressure required. being 84 pounds per square foct. At Marshfield, in 1880, a brick mansion was leveled, the force necessary being 58 pounds per square foot. Below these extraordinary pressures, Mr. Smith instances numerous eases of trains blown off rauls, and bridges, etc., blown down by gales of 24 to 31 pounds per square foot.. In all the examples the lowest force required to do the observed damage has been taken as the maximum power of the wind, although, of course, it may have been higher. Enthusiasts who make a special study of sun-spots and attendant phe noniena believe that the corner-store of a new science is being laid by dis coveries pointing to an intimate con nection between solar and terrestrial meteorology. Just what the connec tion is they are not yet able to clearly denine, although electricity is sus pected of being the agent through which the effects are manifested upon our planet. It is known that the gaseous envelope of the sun is affected by eruptions of such prodigious mag nitude as to be utterly beyond our power of cnception, these disturb ances appearing to us in the form of rapidly changing spots and protuber ances. The eras of the spots--or son-storms-occur at remarkably reg ular intervals, a co~mplete cycle of the various stages of activity from maxi mum to minimum and again to max imum being performed in about eleven years-the sn-called 'sun-spot Iperiod.' The sun-spot physicists claim a coincidence of the periods of maxi mum spots and years of great at mospheric and physical disturbance in the earth. The present has been a year of great solar disturbances, while it has been marked upon our g'lobe. Further thban this, by vioen storms and earthquakes these scientists claim to have rdeently detected by simultaneous obiervatit minor atmospheric changes as the re sult of~eS-ifipodn movements in the sun. Many difficultie "aend these observations, but thU e4#o mer Royat for Scot'"aid" na'thers believe that the state of the sun will some day become an important factor in weather forecasts andiik alcula tions.
