were to fly down to the road through tlic old

and then the wind should not outrun us.
There was hut one difficulty in the way. Janet'*

who,"to use Janet's words, " wss awake si j

wsy tor us if Fanny was aroused- sbc must be i

in Janet's hand a round, shining silver dollar.

At last Janet pommeiicd descending tha ladder,

would stmuT upon terra fir ma beside my own.

before we looked up to the window, both

But Fanny mill stood there, winging backward

sheepish is n weak word for It?? 1 can't
express to you how 1 felt. I had a great idea of
hanging myself I 1 thought I had better be dead
than alive; that 1 had mudc an idiot of myself.
It was all plain ; Fan had betra>cd us. I vow*
od vengeance against her until brand daylight,
then suenked out to the barn and hid in the liny*
stack. I stayed there nntii Charlio Stoddard
brought home my father's horse.
The old gentleman was frightened ; asked how
he came by the horse. He was told to ask me,
and I mnde a clean breast of it. 1 didn't prom
ise hint not to repeat the offence ; there was no
need of it; but I am sure of this: I did not look
at a girl for seven years?no, not for seven years
When the eighth year came round, I remembered
my old. vow against Fanny Stoddard. Well,
to make a long story short, I married Fanny.
Juuet became a parson's wife.
And here let me tell you in confidence, reader,
that I really think Fanny Stoddard had a
very deep motive in her head when elm

She liked hie, even then. I believe. Well, at
any rote, alio declares, every time that tl.c affair
is mentioned, that 1 hove had uiy revenge upon
her. Bless her faithful heart, it hasbeon a sweet

That distinguished man. Professor Agassi/, recently
delivered an address betorc the Academy
of Arts and Sciences, in Huston, in which ho
trnnkly stated that while he was about to quit
Paris and his studies in despair, because he had
not the means of paying his expenses as a student,
llnmltoldt, hearing of his destitution, sent
him fifty pounds, with the words, "It is a losn
which you may repay when you can." The
learned Professor then adds that years after
ward, when ho could have repaid the amount,
he wrote to Humboldt, asking for " the privilege
of remaining foreYer in his debt, knowing
that the request would be more consonant to liia
feelings thun the recovery of the money," and
he adds, " I am now iu his debt"
Cicero, in his " I>e Officii*,propound* some
remarkable moral problems, such as is a man
justified in raising piiees for corn upon a starving
people and the like, but we do not think he
considered Ono qnile so nice as this suggested by
vac pooiry of Professor Agassis'* spirit. As Halt)
n Humboldt distinctly made it a loan, it oocurs
to u? that to have met the cane in a practical,
financial spirit would have been the truer
course. It is quite possible that Baron Humboldt
might have designed, in case the amount
should bo returned, to appropriate it to the uao
of some other poor straggler in the realm of
science?but the destiny of its office, so far as
the real owner was concerned, was lost by the
caprice of the Professor.
Fact* about I.unrr.siYO. -Mr. Meriam, the
"sage of Brooklyn "Heights," in a recent letter,
says 1 "A few days since, a stranger accosted
me in the street aud inquired if iron bedsteads
were dangerous to sjeep upon during thunder
storms. I said in reply, that 1 had never kno^A)
a dentil by lightning on a bed resting on an iron
bedstead, bnt we have recorded deaths hy lightning
of persons reposing on feather beds on
wooden bedsteads.
" No case of denth has vel occurred to a tele
graph operator- to persons on hoard of steamboat*
or in railroad cars, or in iron vessels or iron
building', or in vessels furnished with lightning
conductors, and but four dentins in buildings
furnished with lightning rods. Two persons
have been killed by lightning while standing on
the outside platform of railroad cars.
"Many persons suffer greatly from fear daring
thnnder storms, and that fear has, in two
cases which have come to our knowledge, produced
death. It Ivill bo a comfort to such to
know the safety which railroad car*, steamboats,
Iron vosacia, and vessels and buildings furnished
with rods, afford during thnnder s'torrsi. Persons
atruck down by lightning should he tlior

the record of a ease of remscitalion after hours
of drenching; therefore do not get discouraged,

are bold rid are good swordsiuen, and, better at ill,
are the right weight, and are recruited in great
part from two of the greatest equestrian nations
in the World, the Poles and Hungarians. In her

light cavalry, in fact the only cavalry in existence.
Ilis cuts arc as fatal and sure as other

ho was the glory uud hoast of the Austrian nrmv.

Leaving Home.?I can conceive of no picture
more interesting than ouo which might be drawn
from a young man leaving the home of his childhood,
the scene of all his early associations, to
try his fortune in a distant country, setting opt
alone for the " forest," A father on the decline,
the down hill of life, gives his parting blessing,
t ivoking the best gifts of heaven to rest on his
beloved offspring, and to crown all his efforts
with complete success. T' arsgusli from hie eyes,
and the words are forbid utterance. A kind, affectionate
mother is calling after him ss he is departing
from the paternal abode, and with all
the dangers to which lie Is shout to be exposed
rushing into, and pressing upon her mind, she
snys: " Uo, n?y son?-remember that there is a
right and a wrong way." Her advice is brief.
Language is inadequate to the expression of the
feelings that there crowd on the uiind of the virtuous
child. Kvery render has a case of tills
kind, and tuay have been the subject of one ill
saute respects similar. Here may be found eloqucuoe
more touching to him to whom it is delivered,
than the orations of Ciocro or Demosthenes.
A woman's tears are her weakness and hsr
strength. By thctn she persuades, rules and conquers.
If they flow in copious showers when
man would blush to own a moistening of the eye,
they lutvo a power to control his actions in his
sternest moments. There is in them a magic
charm, which bends before it the strongest will
more pliantly than the ozier sways to the blast.
No trivial orridicnlous things are woman's tears.
They have controlled the destinies of empires,
and brought about results which nteel elad armies
and thnndcring cannons were powerless to aecomplish.
They have played no unimportant
part in the world's history. Would thst we
could say that they bad always flowed from a
pure fountain, and that their intluenoe had been
for the cause of racrcy, humanity and truth.?.
But, alasl quite as much at the command of the
base as of the good, they have too often plead
lor tyranny and urged on to persecution.

llow to m*ke Tea Properly.?Tlie proper
way to make a cup of good tea ia a matter of
oine importance, lite plan which I have practised
for these twelve month* iathis: The tea
pot ia at once filled Hp with boiling water; then
the tea is put into the pot, and is allowed to
btaud for five minutes before It U used. The
leaves gradually absorb the water, and as gradually
sink to the bottom *. the result is, that the
tea leaves are not scalded, as they are when boiling
water is poured over them, and you get all
the Ifue flavor of the tea. In truth, much let*
tea is required in this wny than under the old
and common practice.?Ja*. Cuthel. . .
