THE VILLACB PRIZE.
a talk of washington.
In one of the lovfiest villages of oli Vir
ginia there lived ia the year 175-, an old
wan, wv.orc daughter was declared, by
universal consent, to be the lovliest maiden
in all the country round. The veteran,
in his youth, had be?'' .thlctic, and muscular
above all his fellows; and his breast,
where he always wore them, could show
the adornment of three medals, received
for his victories in gymnastic feats when a
young man. His daughter was now
eighteen, and had been sought in marriage
by many suitors. One brought weal.h?
another a fine person?another this, and
another that. But they were all refused
by the old man, who became at last a bv
V - f V
word for his obstinacy among the young
men of the village and neighborhood.
At length the nineteenth birthday of
Annette, his charming daughter, who was
as amiable and modest a? she was beautiful,
arrived. The morning of that day,
her father invited all the youth o' he
country to a hay making frolic. Seventeen
handsome and industrious young
men assembled, 'i'hey came not only to
make liay, but also to make love to the
fair Annette. In three hours they had
filled the father's barns with the newly
dried grass, and their own hearts with
lore. Annette, by her father's command,
had brought the malt liquor of her own
brewing, which she pre senled to each enamored
swain with her own hands.
"Now, my boys," said the old keeper
of the jewel they all coveted, ns leaning
on their pitchfoiks they assembled round
inc aoor in uie cooi 01 tne evening?"JNow
my lads, you have nearly all of you made
proposals for my ylnnette. Now, you sec
I don't care anything about money or talents,
br>ok laming nor soldier laming?I
can do as well by my gal as any man in
the country. But I want her to marry a
man of my own grit. Now, you know, or
ought to know, when I was a youngste rl
could bc.n anything in all Virginny in the
way o' lciininir. I erot mv old woman bv
beating the smartest man on tho Eastern
Shoro, and I have took the oath and sworn
it, that no man shall marry my daughter
without jumping for it. You understand
me, boys. There's the green, and here's
Annette," he added, taking his daughter,
who stood timidly behind him, by the
hand. "Now the one that jumps the furtherest
on a 'dead level,' shall marry Annette
this very night."
Tins unique address was received by
tho vouniz men with annlause. And ma
ny a youth, as he bounded gaily forward
to the arena of trial, cast a glance of anticipated
victory back upon the lovely ob1'eot
of village chivalry. The maidens

children their noisy sports, the slaves their
labors, and the old men their arm-chairs

and many wished that it would be young
Carroll. lie was iho handsomest and best
humored youth in the country, and all
knew that a strong mutual attachment existed
between him and the fair Annette.
Carroll had won tho reputation of being
iho ''bust leaner," and in a country where
such nthlctic achievements were the sine
f/tut non of a man's cleverness, this was no
ordinary honor. In a contest liko the present
lie had therefore every ndvnntantage
over his fcllow-a/7t/eta?.
Tho arena allotted for this hymeneal
contest was a level space in front of the
village inn, and near the centre of a grass
plat, reserved in tho midst of tho village,
denominated tho "greenThe verdure

The father of the lovely, blushing, and

who would win,) with three other patriarchal

to decide upon the claims of the sevorol
competitors The last time Carroll tried
his skill in this exercise, ho "cleared," to
use the Icapcrs phraseology?t wenty-one

The signal was given, and by lot tho

cried one of tho judges. Tho youth had
done his utmost. He was a pale intellectual
student. But what had intellect to

"Ilarry Preston, nineteen feet and th?-ce
inches." Well done, Harry Preston,"
shouted the spectators, "yojl have
hard for the-acres and homestead."
Harry also laughed, and swore he only
jumped for the fun of the thing. Harry
was a rattle-brained fellow, but never
thought of matrimony. He loved to walk
and talk, and laugh and romp with Annette,
but sober marriage never came into
his head, He only jumped for the fun of
the thing. He would not have said so, if
he wnssure of.winninqf.
"G Imrloy /Simms, fifteen feet and a half

and every one appeared, as they called to

and the sweet Annette, as if they heartily
wished his success.
Henry stepped to his post with a firm
tread. His eye glanced with confidence
around upon the villagers ami rested, be

Annette, as if to catch thcrefiom that spirit
and assurance which the occasion called
for. Returning the encourg'ng glance with
which she met his own, with a proud smile
upon his lip he bounded forward.

When Henry Carroll moved to his station
to strive for the prize, a tall, gentlemanly
young man, in a military undress

dismounted and joined the spectators, Tinperceived,
while the contest was going on,
stepped suddenly forward, and with a
knowing eye measured deliberately the
space accomplished by the last leapcr.?

of this observation was assented to by a
general murmur.
'Is it for mere amusement you are
pursuing this youthful pastime?' inquired
the youthful stranger, 'or is there a
prize for the winner?'
'Annette, the loveliest and wealthiest
of our village maidens, is . to be the rewor/i

'All, young sir!' replied the father of
Annette, with interest, his youthful ardor
rising as ho surveyed the proportio?s
of the straight limbed young stranger.
'She is the brido of him who outleaps
Henry Carroll. If you wili try you are
free to do so. But let mo tell vou. Jffnr

upon the trembling maiden about to be
offered on the altar of her father's unconquerable
mononrwiia with an admiring
eye. The poor gin looked at Harry,
who stood near with a troubled brow and
nngry eye, and then cast upon the competitor

'Twenty-two feet and an inch!' shouted
ihe judge. The announcement was repeated
with surprise by one of the spectators,
who crowded aiound the victor,
filling the air with congratulations, not
unmingled, however, with loud murmurs
from those who are more nearly interested
in the hnppiness of the lovers.

H?r lover stood aloof, gloomy and mor
tificd, admiring the superiority on the
stranger in an exercise in which no prided
himself as unrivalled, while ho hated
him for his success.
'Annette, my pretty prize,' said the
victor, taking her passive hand, 'I have
won ycu fairly.' Annette's cheek hecame
paler than marble; she trembled
like an aspen leaf, and clung closer to hei
father, while the drooping eye sought
the form of her lover. Ilis brow grew
cihik <il uio anger's language.
'I have won you, my pretty flowci, to
make you my bride!?tremble not so violently?I
mean not myself, however
proud I might be,' be added with gallantry,'to

The youth sprang forward and grasp
ed his hand with gratitude, and the next
moment ylnrette was weeping from pure
joy upon Ins shoulders. The welkin rung
with the acclamations of the delighted
villagers, and amid the temporary excitement
produced by this act, the stranger
withdrew from the crowd, mounted his
horse, and spurred at a brisk trot through
the village.
That night Ilarry and Annette were
married, and the health of the mysterious
and noble-hearted stranger was
drunk in overflowing bumpers of rustic
beverngc.
In proccss of time, there were born
unto the married pair sons and daughters,

after a hard corapaign, he was
silting with his family on the gallery of
his handsome country-house, when an
ad vance courier rode up and announced
the approach of General Washington nnd
suite, informing that ho should crave his
hospitality for the night. The necessary
directions were given in reference to the
household preparations, and Col. Carroll,
ordering his horse, rode forward to meet
and escort to his house the distinguished
guest, whom he had never yet seen, although
serving iu the same widely extendeu
army.

who inquired affectionately if she were ill.
'I suspect, Colonel,' said the general,
who had been some time, with a quiet,
meaning smile, observing tho lady's cu
rious and puzzled survey of his features
?'that Mrs. Carroll thinks she recognizes
in me an old acquaintance.' ./lnd he
smiled with a mysterious air, as ho gazed
upon both alternately.
The Colonel started, and a faint memory
of the past seemed to bo revived as
ns lie gazed, while the lady rose impulsively
from her chair, and bending eagerly
forward over the tea-urn, with
claspcd hands, and an eye of cnger inquiry,
fixed still upon him, stood for a
moment with her lips parted as if she
would speak.
'Pardon me, dear madam?pardon mo
colonel?I must put an end to this scene,
I have become, by dint of camp fare and
hard usage, too unwieldy to leap again

a bride as one I wot of.'
The recognition, with tho surprise, delight
and happiness that followed, are
left to the imagination of the reader.

handsome young lenper, whose mysterious

A Water Spout in the Pacific.?The
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser copies
the following from the manuscript of a
pamphlet which is about to be published
in that city, entitled, 'California as I saw
it,' ttic author ot winch is a returned adventurer:
'When off the Mexican const, wo had a
fine view of that natural but imperfectly
understood phenomenon?a water spout
?which, in several respects, was new,
even to the old experienced seamen on
board. It wns a clear, warm morning,
with variable breezes, that scarcely
ruffled the surface of tho ocean. At a

of the smooth water?within an area
of perhaps a hundred feet; it at first boiled
and foamed, then a spray of vapor
i arose from tho turmoil, which had soon a
i focus in its centre, around which it whirl
cd in a spiral form upward,, as we often
see dust, and other light substances of tho
' earth, in tho incipient stages of a whirl>

feet.

of our ship disturbed tho stillness of the
scene The vast column swayed and undulated
with the wind, as if it had been
ill huge Sea serpent that was stretched
from the occnn to the clouds! Its entire
duration was from fifteen to twenty min
utes, when it seemed to have pei formed
its office, its surplus water settling down
into the ocean, or rather ajjain assuming
the vapor, commencing nt. its connection
with the cloud. The cloud that it
pierced was at first of a light color, as I
have before observed. As it began to
fill from the mighty conduit that had
towered up to it, it grew dense and black
as if gorged and surfeited from its vast
reservoir!
In the afternoon we had a drenching j
shower, as if the surcharged cloud was
returning back to the ocean the contribution
it had levied in the morning.

voyage, but none that deserved mentioning,

to describe.
Dkw.?The theory of Dr. Wells; of
Charleston, S. C., is the one now universally
established; the principal features in
it are as follows:
1. Dew falls at t'ie close of day.
2. In the country, where bodies are
shielded from sun, dew commences falling
when the sun is several hours high.
3. A clear night is necessary to the dertncitinn
nf /1n??r
jiwciuvhi \J 1 uuh ,
4. No dew falls upon a cloudy night.
5 A gentle breeze increases the amount I
deposited.
0. //igh winds prevent its deposition.
C. Quantity of dew deposited, depends
nlso upon the humidity of tho atmosphere.
8. I)ew is unequally deposited upon
different bodies.
9. Highly polished metals, such as gold
and silver, rcceive no dew.
10. Non-conductors of heat receive it
most copiously.
11. Conductors of he?*\t resist the formal
ion of dew.
12. Much also depends upon the stale
of the body; ns shavings receive more
dew than the solid blocks.
13. Rough surfaces are more conducive
to its deposition than polished.
14. Lastly, the position of a body afF
ccts materially the deposition of dew.

AND THE
British Quarterly Reviews
Owing to tho late revolutions and
couni<*r-revolutions nmong the nations o
Europe,which hnvo followed cacli other
in such quick succession, and of which
'the end is not yet," the lending periodicals
of Great Britain have become invested
with a degree of interest hitherto unknown.
They occupy a middle ground
between the hasty, disjointed, luid necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers,
and the elaborate and ponderous
treatises to be furnished by the historian
at a future day. Whoever reads these
ocriodicals obtains a correct and r.onnp(?^
