Smudge had ransacked various books for name, and, as the sixth of the latest edition c Smudge was indicative of toil in the ranks c men, as the infant looked stroDg?almost wai like?a great name was the quest of its dis tracted parents. Mrs. S. wanted it named afte some old Bible character. Smudge suggeste Samson Goliah, which would typify strength Mrs. S. leaned to Moses Samuel, emblemati cal of weakness. Smudge had declared that he would expos the child to the measles before it should b nick-named Mose or Sam. Then he hintei at Jonah; but Mrs. S. would listen to n such monogram. She didn't want her las child's name connected with a fish story Already they had named a child Haraar and she was sure that he would be hange some day. Seeing that no Scriptural nam could be agreed upon, she suggested Omeg? reminding Smudge that they had named thei ^ first-born Alpha. "You don't call this one Omega," sai< Smudge. "I'll put the name away, and whe: we want it I'll let you know. How wouh Martin Luther do ?" "I'm a Baptist, I am, Smudge!" retorte< Mrs. S. coloring. "I don't want any Luther an names in this house. For your mother' sake, I allowed one of my children to b called Jonathan Wesley. She don't pok any Methodist names on to me again. I Luther had been a Baptist, the name migh do. There's Roger Williams. Roger Wil liams Smudge would sound well! He couh write it R. Williams Smudge, you see." h?? never will !" cried the jjareut with determination. "Roger Williams was j Baptist, and you know, Mrs. Smudge, that don't lean that way. I'd sooner call hin Tom Paine." Mrs. Smudge shrieked. "Call him Tom Paine, and I'll kill -hin before he's weaned." "You like Puritans, Mrs. Smudge. Cal him Miles Standish." "Xo, sir! I don't wan't my child to grov up with any such outlandish name. Yoi called our second boy Plymouth Rocl Smudge, and that name will kill him befon he votes. Xo more Puritan names." "You're the confoundedest particular wo man I ever saw," retorted Smudge. "If i had been a girl, we would have called he Cleopatra Octavia." "No, we wouldn't! Our fourth girl nov groans under the name of Olympia Tarpeia It will make her be an old maid. L?*'s com promise, Smudge. You like a strong name? Goliah, for instance?I, a Baptist one. Let's call the baby Roger W. Goliah Smudge." "Put the Bible name first." "I won't do it!" "Then we'll call him something else." "My father's name was Joshua Gideon,' meekly suggested Mrs. S. "What do I care if it was? None of m; children shall be called after any of you; relatives. That's settled ! Let us fall bad on a late name?Garibaldi, for insance." "Or Bonaparte." "Which one ?" "Napoleon the Third." "No ; I won't have him called Napoleon.'

I " Our family shan't be disgraced by a Whig I name," said Mrs. Smudge. "Lafayette is 5 I \ great, a good name." I Smudge thought so; he was on the eve o I suggesting the name of the great Frenchmai himself. "He must have a middle name." B "Lafayette Williams !" said Mrs. S. "There's your old Baptist name again ! tell you Roger Williams shan't, in any form hang to that boy's coat-tail." "Then you shan't call him Lafayette." And thus the quarrelling over the christen ing continued for six mortal hours. Finally f Kn n i r ti'iiu cnttln/1 Sim n/lnrn'i: KuKt is to face the world with the simple cognomei of John Smudge. AN AUCTION SALE. Poor Mrs. Johnson was going to sell out A little less than a year before Johnson ha( brought her out to our little settlement, am had built his cottage, aud made the pleas antest home in the town. But he had beei hurt by a fallen tree, and died, and now Mrs Johnson was going home. She was going t< realize what she could from the sale of thi house and fixtures, and all the settlers weri on the qui vive to secure what they needed fo their own scantily-furnished residences. Th< house had been disposed of by private sale, th< good-natured Sam Brown had volunteered hi services as auctioneer, and all the arrange ments had been completed for the auction l he day came, and with it a crowd ot purcna sers, who were all, with one exception, dispos ed to give good prices on account of thi pretty Mrs. Johnson. The exception was ok John Grimshaw, who never was known to b< kindly disposed to any body. Sam was in high feather, and secured sucl high prices for the different articles that In became excited. Old Grimshaw had bid fre quently, but failed to purchase, as he wouh give nothing like a fair price. At length thi cooking-stove was put up, and old Grirashav wanted it. It was the best in the settlement and he had none. We had put up a job 01 him, and Sam had been let into the secret The stove was knocked down to Grimshaw a twenty dollars, which was a fair price, consider ing the freight we had to pay from theneares trading post; but just as the old fellow wa congratulating himself 011 his bargain, San sung out: "Now, gentlemen, how much for the pipe?' "Why, the pipe goes with the stove, o course," said old Grimshaw. "What did you say, sir ?" said Sam, inno ccntly. The claim was reiterated, but utterly repu dialed. "You are joking," said Sam. "Wha am I bid for the stove-pipe?" "Five dollars," "Six," "Seven," came ii quick succession from the crowd. Old Grimshaw was frantic.

"Ten, and I'm blessed if I'll give an; more," said old Grimshaw. It was knockei down to him, and Mrs. Johnson was wel pleased to have got thirty dollars for her stov and pipe. A Soi.o.mon of A Judge.?The following story comes from Ireland: Two men had ; quarrel in a liquor shop. They adjourue< outside to settle the dispute. The first mai being from Connaught, immediately seized i lump of stone and let fly at the head of th opponent, who dipped his head and raissei the stone, which went through an expensiv plate glass window and did much damage A magistrate was called upon next morninj to determine which of the two should pay th cost. The evidence clearly showed that th aim was a good one, and that if the secom man had not dipped his head he would hav been struck. "Therefore," said the magis trate, "he must pay the damages, as it is cei tain the first man didn't intend to iujure th window, and the window would not have bee injured if it had not been for the act of th second man." ? toy A German, who was asked if lager bee was intoxicating, replied: "Veil, I trink from seventy to eighty glasses a day, and feel ail straight in mine upper story for an kind of beesiness, but I can't tell vat it voul <Jo in it men vat makes a swill-tub of himself. ! Children's Department. j] j [Original.] ) DEW. a 1 jf If you will go out into the garden, or into )f the meadow, or any place where there is veg- j r-1 etalion, in the morning after a clear and : 3- ; calm night, you will find the grass covered j ^ with small drops of water. These drops are j ^ dew. If you will take, on a warm day, a j j' | tumbler, and fill it with cold water, in a few j. moments you will find the outside of the glass [ ^ e covered with moisture. This is dew. The j e | drops of water seen on the grass in the morn- j A ing, aud the dampness covering the tumbler, j j 0 arise from the same cause. The origin of ^ j dew is this. During the day the earth rc- i ,"| ceives heat from the sun. The surface of j the earth in a hot summer day becomes so J " iwn*.n*'?o frt ko in onmfl nlan^S SPJITPaIv HpRTR- I C nauu ao tu uv. iu oviuv i/iuvw. uv.?.v>..j . I . r t, ble the naked body. This heat warms the j r air, makes it thin, or as it is called, rare- j ^ ^ : fies it and causes it to ascend. The moisture j n that is in the air, and in the surface of the : ground is converted into a vapor, and conse- j * * quently made lighter, and it ascends. So j j. d soon as the sun goes down, and even before j ^ "* this, the heat decreases, aud the earth begins I j s to cool down. So soon as the earth becomes ' ^ e ! colder than the air by which it is surrounded, ? f1 the vapor which is in the air begins to be 11 condensed, that is to thicken, and form those !- | sparkling drops that we call dew. During 1 windy nights no dew is deposited on the sur- ^ | face of the earth. The reason is this, the va'' J por is blown away by the wind. Clouds parj j tially prevent dew. This is the reason. The , clouds serve as a covering for the earth, and prevent the heat from escaping so rapidly | from its surface. This is the reason that per- . I | sons cover plants in the spring, to prevent j( , i them from being bitten by the frost. The II J a cold is not so much kept out as the heat is r v kept in. When the surface of the earth be- . j comes very cold, the vapor *of the atmosphere c ! is deposited in the form of frost. . A SPIDER'S APPETITE. p . J In order to test what a spider could do in ti 11 the way of eating, we arose about daybreak 0 * ? i% 1 r | one morning, to supply nis nne weo wun a ^ i fly. At first, however, the spider did not r ! come from his retreat; so we peeped among I the leaves, and there discovered that an ear- a . i wig had been caught, and was now being d . feasted on. The spider left the earwig, w 3! rolled up the fly, and at once returned to the $i ; first course. This was at half-past five A. M., I in September. At seven A. M., the earwig j had beeu deinolisned, and the spider, after resting awhile, and probably enjoying a nap, 3J ' came down for the fly, which he had finished at nine A. M. A little after nine we sup- I j plied him with a daddy-long-legs, which was n r eaten by noon. At one o'clock, a blowfly was c t greedily seized, and an appetite no worse for c his previous indulgence, he commenced on the j blowfly. During the day, and toward the evening, a great many small green flies, or e' what are popularly termed midges, had been si ? caught in the web. Of these, we counted one p . hundred and twenty, all dead, and fast priso- g s ners in the spider's net. Soon after dark, pro- j vided with a lantern, we went to examine q _ whether the spider was suffering at all from . indigestion, or in any other way from his pre- S vions meals ; instead, however, of being thus ,l . | affected, he was employed in rolling up to- g I .1 1 ?.i i i*i gettier tne various little green images, wnicn n , he then took to his retreat and ate. This pro- S| [ cess he repeated, carrying up the lots in little ^ detachments, until the whole web was eaten ; j f for the web and its contents were bundled up ! together. A slight rest of about an hour was n followed by the most industrious web making e< process, and before daybreak, another web si was ready to be used in the same way. Ta- w [ king the relative size of the spider and of the j creatures it ate, and applying this to a man, it w i would be some what as follows : At daybreak, j a small alligator was eaten ; at seven A. M., ^ . | a young camelopard ; at one o'clock, a sheep ; j and during the night, one hundred and twen- a f ty larks. This, we believe, would be a very j fair allowance for one man during twenty-four j hours ; and, could we find one gifted with such I an appetite and such a digestion, we can read j ily comprehend how he might spin five miles J I of web without killing himself, provided he P \ | possessed the necessary machinery.?English n 1 ; Paper. d "j Triflks!Trfi.es!!?"Don't," said the t] 1 i pony to the flies ; and he shook his head and P !* I lashed his tale about, and away they all * } ! flew. o 21 "Don't, I say," he cried again, moving to o ' ? i >- - t- 1 i- - -1 1.1 1 i " anotner piace wnere ne nopeu ne suuuiu lose r ; them.

It is very easy to test whether the principles his wi tught in the Bible are true or false. If they admi re false, no one should believe them ; if they a ^ea re true, every one should believe and prac- ?tem ce them. They should be believed for the ?retjj| iuson that the doctrines of the Bible relate 0fag ) the most important practical questions res- alas, ceting man, both for time and eternity. The s he Bible always contemplates man both as it wu lortal and immortal?as a creature of but JtN th few years' duration, and as a being destined 18 1 ... . prone ) outlive time itself. If the Bible ignored gr ^ le present life of man, there would then be or W(J 0 means of testing its teachings, whether color, ley are true or false. This is, however, not him S ie case. In the Bible there is laid down a n>eers ule of conduct. In the proper sense of the ord, the Bible is a law to man. It com- jeon lands us to do some things, and it forbids us man ) do the opposite of those things commanded. a new 'or obedience it promises a reward, and for put a isobediencc it threatens a punishment. It talk i 1 tiue that the obedient are not promised to e fully rewarded in this world, and the |jieao| 'ages due the disobedient is not all paid him t ^ ntil he passes beyond the grave.

They abound in Franc jJennany, and in many other parts c pe, and some are to be found in the Uni ;ates. One gentleman?a Captain Bragj brmerly resided in New York, and wh lives in Birmingham, England?had here, a collection of some 400 meei mis, all beautifully colored. This i rari expensive taste, however, for beside rst cost of the pipes, Captain Bragg lis .*p two men continually employed, whos iuty is to smoke and keep the 400 pipe lor. Mr. Northrop, of this city, also ha ;e in that direction; he has a collectioi ime forty pipes. Mr. McDonald, r klyn, has about thirty meerschaum! of which arc very large, beiug at leas inches in diameter. These are wort apiece. Chief Engineer W. AV. Wooe j United States navy, is also a great cor jur, and owns about twenty-five, of a ;s and sizes. Other gentlemen of thi lave collections also, but it is thougl; mentioned have the largest, ter having said so much about njee| nn pipes, it may not be out of place t Dtnething about where the material come and how it is manufactured. Mee; im is a kind of clay, composed of hydral ngnesia and silex, or, more properly, hj i silicate of magnesia. It is found i in various parts of JCurope, but partici in Anatolia, in Asia Minor. When fir' i from the earth it is soft, but harder exposure to the air. It is imported int jountry in lumps of various sizes. Tli is called spiegel, or mirror meerschaun 1 is of a bluish tinge, and its surface j ed with star-shaped flecks. There ai m different qualities of meerschaum, th six of which only are imported into thi ;ry. The first, second and third qualitit sed by the manufacturers in making pipe the fourth, fifth and sixth in repairs c ions to imported pipes of a correspouc , ing class. The process of manufacture is very ! | ; simple. The block of meerschaum is first soaked in water until it arrives at a proper j ! degree of softness, it is then taken by the j 3j. | workman, who shapes it with a knife, and the I bowl, if intended to be round, is bored and r? , turned on a lathe. The hole in the stem is . 5<* i then made, and the pipe is turned over to a ic J girl, who smooths it first with sand-paper and st | afterward with a kind of grass brought from jn I Massachusetts, which is called "shave grass," ' )e ! possibly on account of cutting properties. ' B8 1 The pipe is then boiled in a preparation of ]| | wax, and polished with a soft cloth. Carved te pipes are made somewhat differently. The (j ! carving is first done roughly, only shaped, as s j it were, and the meerschaum is boiled, and i 3r i the carving is afterward completed. It is .1 l(] | then boiled again, or left white at the option | of the smoker. The parings of the meer... ! Rfhuiim railed "nhins." are not used in this ' ' jg country, but are shipped back to Germany, ' !0 where they are made into imitatiou meer- . 3f schaum. They are also used to remove grease j1 y spots from silk, being ground into powder, I ie which, mixed with water to the consistency of < < it cream, is used for the purpose in the same ! r. manner as fuller's earth, d The meerschaum pipe trade in New York ! fl is a flourishing institution, and all the manuie facturers do a good business. One of them >r sent specimens of his workmanship to Paris I ? to the exhibition of 1867, and received a : 3t bronze medal and a diploma. It may be \ proper to say that a bronze medal is the high- j 0 est prize awarded to this class of goods, gold j ie medals being given only for inventions and j e devices of benefit to humanity, and uotto ar- J; (| tides of ornament or luxury. This gentle- i n man, before he was given the prize he had 11 y earned, was obliged to furnish affidavits from ; 3 ! responsible gentlemen in this city to prove I / I that the work had been done here. He ex- j j hibited some thirty pieces in all, one of which, j h' i a superb pipe, with a group representing Mac- | 3 I beth's encounter with the witches on the ; j heath, composed of five figures, two of which, 1 lS Macbeth and Eamjuo, are mounted, excited lt universal admiration. It also has a figure of ,j. Shakspeare, seated in an arm-chair, on the r lid or cover. Ten thousand francs were ofe ; fered for this pipe in Paris, but were refused |s ! by the exhibitor, as he wanted to exhibit it in f| ! this country, having had no opportunity to do c so previously, as it had been completed only (j a few days before the sailing of the United f) States steamer which carried the goods of the 0 American exhibitors. P .. One of the greatest pipe-fanciers in the i.i \r.:?r- 1 ,i.? < p. woriu?jiujui vjreuei iti wiuaiuviui, ui mc j. Russian army, is now in this country. Pie j has a collection of more than 600 pipes. ] t Since he has been in this country he has pur- ' q chased a number of meerschaums, and there j c is now in the hands of the most prominent it manufacturers in this city?the same who took I , the bronze medal at Paris?a magnificent [ e meerschaum pipe made to his order. The ] ^ bowl forms the bust of a very beautiful wo- ' man, and is a correct likeness of the General's j e wife, taken from life. The stem and mouth- , piece are of amber, fifteen inches long. The ? whole costs ?150. This pipe will he taken to J J Plurope as a curiosity, for it seems that Gen. ( e Raffalovich had an idea that such things could i g not be made in this country. He is now trav- ' j|! eling in the West, and will doubtless enrich ,e his collection by adding to it some of the celu ebrated calumets, made of the famous redpipe-stone by the Indians. ? The manufacture of the amber stems and 3 mouth-pieces forms an important part of the r business, and many beautiful and graceful dej signs are produced. None but the best am,t ber can be employed for this purpose, and p, much skill is needed on the part of the work_ man, owing to its extreme brittleness. The prices of pipes range from ?1.50 to . J" S500. and even more. A eood, plain, ser- , (i. viceable pipe may be bought at from 810 to < lg 815. Carved pipes are higher, and bring \ i more in proportion, but a great deal depends on the style of carving. Some carved pipes e are really works of art, and, of course, are |g paid for as such. The modelers are constantj. ly on the lookout for new designs, and beauti(j ful studies are continually being produced. t There is hardly anything in nature that canp not be copied in meerschaum, and in New ^ York a man may have his own head reproe duced in the shape of a pipe-bowl if he should p, fancy it. The cigar-holders are also very ;t pretty, and bring high prices?sometimes as jj. much as 875?but, as with the pipes, the jt price depends altogether upon the style of carving. When a pipe is injured in the smoking, or t burned, as it is technically called, it can be much improved by being reboiled, which re' I stores to the meerschaum its power of absorpe tion. The word "improved" is used advisedg ly, for nothing will ever makes burned meer- , 0 schaum as good as new. This need never happen, however, if proper care is taken not to heat the pipe when first smoked. e It is very possible that the ladies of New ^ York will soon come to regard meerschaum n as indispensable to their comfort, not in the jt | shape of pipes and cigar-holders, but as a r j beautifier of the complexion, for it is proj' i posed to grind the chips to an impalpable ' - i nowder to be used as a cosmetic. ?: * i ? i e Transfusion of Bi.ood.?The Chicago i s medical professors have been experimenting j 3 with the transfusion of blood, for the benefit 1 of their students. On account of the danger 11 in the old mode of direct transfusion of car- t ^ rying air in clotted blood into the vein, which 1 ^ | is fatal, the instrumeut of Dr. McDonald was ! I used, by which the blood is defibrinated by ! a ] beating with a stick before it is put into the | tube for injection into the vein, the red cor- ' 5" I puscles, containing the life, only remaining. t a i The blood having been transferred to the i 3 ! tube, the tube is then held upright and in- I n | serted into the vein of the recipient. The J 0 | blood flows in naturally, and no air or clot is t im | admitted. The experiments were made with l a a large dog, which was brought into the hall 11 | and chloroformed for use. The first was to 8 ; show the pressure of blood in the arteries. 3 i An artery was opened and a tube inserted. 3 The blood mounted in the tube to the height t 8 ! of over six feet, and rose and fell with the ! I a pulsations. The animal was then subjected j a to a drain of blood until respiration ceased, J e and he was apparently a dead dog. A prick j 1 j of a needle hetweeti the toes, where a dog's | '* keenest sensibilities are, failed to produce any i ?' responsive movement. In the meantime the J 0 blood had been prepared, and the instrument j i? f/-v r\??<xtrn flift nT?nn?>Di2 Whnil t" ll I ; WOO ttllj U31CU ? r": dog had received back four ounces of his ! 3 blood he kicked.

The Commission works ' ie ! about these payments ingeniously.
