Boulders Moved by Ice. Uoder the heal of "A Moving Boulder," in a dispatch frotn Winsted, Conn., iu the New York isuu, scieutitic pcrsous are invited to explain the phenomenon of a large stono apparently moving itself in West Hill Pond.

As the char- b actcr of ice is to expand, contrary to the rule in nature, which is laid dowhi, that j \ heat causes cxpausion and cold contraction, the force exercised by it thick mass , of ice is uuusuully great. Successive heavy foiiuutious of ice iu winters have . pressed the stono forward toward the shore. A similar pheuoiueuou may be J' observed in the Twiu Lakes, iu Coauec- 11 ticut, where several iar^e boulders which were once near the centre of tho b lakes have gradu illy approached the ri shore, until some oftnem are tio.v almost v on the bank.

When people do not love they arc not it to live. Hatred is a tire which burns, but consumes not. Wherever there is ignorance there is >clt-conceit. Meeting and overcoming ditlieultics makes character. An hour lost will get behind you aud diase you forever. If work is growth, the world is full of icoplc who are very small. The test of true manhood i3 what ho s willing to sutler for others. No bad man ever m-ikes himself any tetter by churning to be a saint. The poorest of noor are verv nftpn hose whom their neighbors consider icli. You can't tell by the length of a nan's face what he ean do in a horse ra !e. There is no more wretched life than hat of a child that has to live without yinpathy. LInle.-s you think more than you talk, lerhnps it would he just as well not to alk much. Tiie higher the ln.ihliug is to i?e, the nore c ue there must be in prepaiiug the ouudation. Complaining about the hard times you ire having docs not make it easier for mybody else. If an old man only knew as much as a fouug one thinks he does, how this old jlobo would whirl. Whenever you knock down a man vho has opinions of his own, you tumble a whole crowd over. When a dog is in his own dooryard, ic doesn't have to be very big t.? be rave enough to bark at an elephant in lie street There never was a son who had a ithcr who loved him, who could ask as inch for himself as his fatiior wanted lim t > have.

The owner, (subject to his mother's life-right, of a thousand acres of mountain land, of which one-third was rich "bottom," or level laud, with horses in stall, cattle in meadow and steers ou the hill-range, he was at sevenand-twenty a bachelor, while his fellows were heads of families by the time they had come to manhood, lie loved his mother and sister, who worshiped him, and he was content. Kitty M'Kissen was not his sister, however, nor was she his k'liswomuu. Eighteen years before, John Markham came there from the East, and bought a little "bottom-patch" of sixty acres, and settled on it with his wife. He built a logcabin, set to work awkwardly to cultivate a few girdled acres, and tried to accommodate himself to an unusual position. Folk around, naturally suspicious of strangers, thought he must have done something wrong to make him leave home. He brought books, not over a hundred in number, which the neighbors deemed to be a great library. His house was neat, owing to his young wife's taste. I he neighbors said: "It's stuck rouu' with thing-a-iuajigs till it's a plom sight!" HI..-1.1.

Three mouths after her birth her ' mother died, and Mrs. M'Kisscn, who had just lost a child of nearly the same age, offered to uursc Kitty?an offer thankfully accepted. But John Markham caught cold by cxposuie, it settled upon luu lungs,and iu less than a year he died,leaving his little possessions to his child. Kitty thrive I and soon became known as a M'Kisscn, the circuit-rider's baptismal ccrtilicatc to the contrary notwithstanding. She aud Hugh,who was a utne-year-old boy when she came,had been brought up together. When she was half-grown, Peter M'Kisscn was killed by tho fall of a girdled tree,and Kitty became the mainstay of the house, for old Mrs. M'Kisscn, who was tea years senior to her busband, had been half paralytic for years, aud passed her time in hobbling between her bed, the kitehcu-table aud the lireside. Frank and good-natured, as well as athletic, Hugh was a popular young man ?his fellows accepting his lead and young woireu receiving his attentions courteously. But he never threw the handkerchief at any particular fair one, treating all with a shy deference. They did not come up to tho standing ol Kitty, who had inherited some of the rc| lincment of her mother; and who, hav ing read her ratlicr'8 books over and over again, was credited with a vast amouut of learning. That kind of knowledge did not iuterfere with her housewifely qualities, for she was known to be the best cook and baker as well as the best buttennaker and neatest housekeeper in the county. Huge measured all other girls by her Procrustean stand aril. Beside, Hugh was not matrimonially inclined. His home was too comfortable, and lie was in 110 hurry to briug ti strange woman there. But Mis. M'Kisscu thought it high time for her >011 to marry, and spoke to him about it. "What's the need, mother?" he responded. "I'm comfortable, and so are you. Why should I bring a strange girl here?oue that ain't used to in and our ways, upsetting things?" "You needn't do tlint neither," said his mother. Hut Hugh was too obtuse to take the hint and went out to salt the cattle. But lie communed with himself as he went. "I might spark Lucy Campbell," he thought. "She's been Last to school, and she's a sort of hig.i tlyer, but she's pretty. Old Jim Campbell's well oil, and he has only young Jim and Lucy, i duniio. I'll speak to Kitty about it. And there she is at the cows, now." Kitty was there with her milk pails,and Hugh broached the subject at once. She looked up, blushed ;i little au l then looked down, and listened. "Lucy Campbell!" she eric.I. "So, Hoys! Why don't the cro'tur' keep still? Lucy Campbell's a nice girl; a little sharp tempered, hut you're not; .urn hiiu uuvur iurns a nana to anything around the house, but you're uot looking for n housekeeper. Give down, I Joss!"' "Well, there's Nancy Stalling. Nancy's people arc not so well off as Lucy Camphell's; but they do suy that Nancy is tnc moat industrious girl in tho noghb'r'd." "Vc," said Kitty; "ves, she's a worker. She never cleans up her dirt, rrough; and she?she chews snuff. You don't like tobacco iu thnt way, do you, iluoh?" "Minph I" ejaculated Hugh. "Well, 1 dunno what to do. Mother, she's at no to marry, and I declare, except the two, I can't think of a girl I'd ITTco to have, unless?well, there ain't one." "You stupid!*'said Kitty, pettishly.

"Yes; and thar ho comes now, on ! Dingess's clayband mar'." It was a sprucely dressed stranger w rode up, and, loading his n\arc, came ward them. It was not necessary to I his kinship, for he "favored" Kitty. they say in the hills. The same c, ami forehead, but ho had a square eh lie explained his business. "Come into the house, Mr. Burnet said Hugh. "Kitty will bo back fr the spring house, presently." Doss was anxious to learn evorythir but as no one asked him to remaiu, w< oil reluctantly. Presently Kitty ca in, and the newcomer introduced him; as her first cousin,the sou of her mothi brother.

It was a fairy tale, and young lawyer looked like an enchanl Hugh was considered rich there, w less than a fifth of the sum; but nin thousand dollars! At last Kitty asked: "Mr. Burnett?Cousin Calvin?uius live there to get the money?" "No. You can live w''erc you iil but if you want to c^joy life, i East is the place for you. You are y< own mistress, or, at least, will be twenty-one. In the meanwhile, tho co here will probably let you name y own guardian aud trustee." "Thank you, cousin.

Thore are only two or three of of the hundreds of piano factories in this otn country that can honestly claim to manuty, facture pianos from begiuniug to finish, dor Pianos are simply put together by nan<-'ty ufacturers, not made. The diiTcreut ou. parts of u piano are not made by the i as tirins under whoso names the instruments ?me are mauulactured. Piano making was tie- wholly revolutionized a few years ago, when largo establishments sprang up unt which manufactured particular portions ens of the instrument. A dozen linns make the ouly cases; a like number make the deliter. cate piece of mechanism known as the 'ith 'action,' and as many foundries cast the iety heavy iron plates which sustain the Rtraiu ot the strings. There are also manufacturers of sounding boards and it I of wrest planks into which the tuuin<j pius aro sot, carvers of legs, lyres and to; trussers, importers of felts and cloths, the winders of wrapped strings for tholowei jur notes, and drawers of thinner wires foi at ihe upper notes.
