She noDER.N Clirter returned to consciousness the brother bad learned ' all. When she did so, they both i sought secure quarters, after re : warding the Beggar-girl as had been j promised. 'Do you think Robespierre was real ly deceived?' asked Maria de Nantes. 'I think not,' returned the brother. 'Then why did lie order your re lease!' 'He saw your plan. He admired I vour courage. Could a fiend have done less?' i 'Perhaps this was the case. But if so, it was a deed of mercy, and the only one that the man ever did.' 'You are right.' Antonio de Nantes was not again ar rested, and lived happily with that sis who had so nobly perilled her own life to save him hy representing 'The beg gar girl of Paris.' Since last October, fifty-three thous and emigrants, black and white, have passed through Memphis, of whom fif teen thousand were foreigners, princi pally from the neighborhood of Chi cago, hunting homes in the Cotton States. The blacks are principally from Virginia.

"No," sed he, but a thousand feet from on hige.'' I re flected how easy it waz for sum folks ' to lie and tell the truth at the same time. Thursday Rokolekted once more ov i bein on ltod river, in Arkinsaw, and seein a large piece ov frame work by the side of the read ; inquired ova private citizen who was lead in a blind mul by 1 of his earn, what the frame i work mought, be. lie sed it was "a big fldle, and took 3 yok ov oxen to draw the bow, and they had tu haw and gee tu change the tune."

About 280 years before Christ, Hiero, of Alexandria, formed a toy which exhibited some of the powers of | steam, and was moved by its power. Six humined years later, Anthemius, i an architect, arranged several caldrons I of watter, each covered with the wide ! bottom of a leather tube which rose to ! a narrow top, which pipes extended to i the rafter-oi the adjoining building. A fire was kindled beneath the cal drons, and the house was shaken by the efforts of the steam ascending the tubes. This is the first notice of steam ' recorded. In 1543, Blasco 1). Garoy tried a steamboat of 210 tons with tol ; erable success, at Barcelona, Spain.— It consisted of a caldron of boiling wa ter, and a movable wheel on each side ;of the ship. It was laid aside as im- I practicable, A present, however, was I made to Garoy.' Id 1650 tiie first railroad was con structed at Newcastle on Tyne. The first idea of in England was in the Mavijuis of Winchester's 'II ivory of inventions," 1603. In 1710, Neweomen made the first steam engine. In 1718, patents weregranted to Savery for the first a;>i>lieation of the steam engine in England. 1761, James Watt made the first perfect steam engine in England. In 1736, Jonathan Hulls vet forth the idea of steam navigation. Tn 1778, Thomas I'aine first proposed this ap plication in America. In 1785, Wil liam Tymington made a voyage in one on the Korth anil Clyde-Canal. In 1781, ltniiisey propelled a boat by st am to New York. 11l 1783, John Fitch, of Philadelphia, navigated a boat by a steam engine on the Dela ware. In 18jJ, Robert Fulton first be gan to apply his attention to steam. THE VEW PROVEBBI.iI. PIIII.OSO ■•XI V. Ask no woman herage. Never joke with a poiieeman. Do not play at chess with a widow. Never contra diet a man who stutters. Be civil to all rich uncles and aunts. Your oldest hat, of course, for an evening party.- Always sit next the carver, if you can, at dinner. Keep your own secrets Tell no human being you dye your whiskers. Wind up your conduct, like your watch, once every day, examin ing minutely whether you are 'fast" or "slow."

Thestages on Fun day carried at tout four hundred gold seekers. It is reported that the China men have been driven out of the new mines, and several of them killed. — San Diego and other towns in the southern portion of the State are being rapidly depopulate d. "Now, 'spe-en you was to be turned into an animal," -aid dim, "what would you like to tie, Bill?" "Ob, I'd be a lion," replied Bill, "because lie's so strong.'' "Of, no, don't be a lion, Bill," interrupted little Tom, who had some recent jninful experi ence at school, "be a wasp, audthen vou can sting the school-master." GOOD FOR Til KM. It is a good thing for a young man to be 'knocked about in the world,' : though soft-hearted parents may not think so. All youths, or if not all, certainly nineteen-twentieths of the ■ sum total, enter life with a surplusage j of self-conceit. The sooner they are relieved of it the better. If, in meas uring themselves with wiser and older ; men than themselves, they discover ! that it is unwarranted, and get rid of : it gracefully, and of their own accord, j well and good, if not it is desirable for j their own sakes, that it is knocked out of them. A boy who is sent to a large school finds his level. His will may have been paramount at home, but school boys are democratic in their i deas, and if arrogant, he is sure to be thrashed into recognition of the gold en rule. The world is a great public j school, and it soon teaches a new pupil his proper place. If he has the uttri- j butes that belong to a leader, be will j be installed in the position of leader. • If not destined to greatness, the next i best thing to which he can aspire is re spectability ; but 'no man can be truly great or truly respectable Who is vain, pompous, and over-bearing.' By the time tne novice has found his legiti- j mate social status, be the same high or i low, the probability is that the disa- j greeable traits of his character will be ; softened down or worn away. Most likely the process of abrasion will be j rough , but when it is over, and he be- ; gins to see himself as others see him, j and not as reflected in the mirror of; seif-coneeit, lie will be thankful that he has run the gauntlet, and arrived, through a rough road, at self-know!- j edge. Upon the whole, whatever, lov- . ing mothers may think to the contra- • ry, it is a good tiling for youths to be knocked about lhe world; if makes, men of them. || - - I, | roi:TllTL SIMS. The late Dr. Spencer said that when he was a lad, his father gave him a lit tle tree that had just been grafted.— One day, in his father's absence, he left the colt into the garden, and the young animal broke off the the graft. It was mended, however, on tiic following day, and continued to grow finely.— Years passed, and young Spencer be came a man and minister. Sometime after he became a pastor, he made a visit to the old homstead where he spent his boyhood. Ilis little sapling had become a larger tree, and was load ed with apples. During the night af ter his arrival at the homestead, there was a violent thunder shower, and the wind blew fearfully. He rose early in the morning,and ongoing out found his tree lying prostrate upon the ground. The wind h- d twisted it off just where the colt broke it when it was a sapling. Probably the storm would not have broken it at all, if it had not been bro ken when it was small. It will usual ly be found Uiat those who are grossly vicious in manhood, dropped a seed of vice in the morning of life; that the fallen youth who was religiously train ed, and has become corrupt, broke off his connection with virtuous ways just where he did a very wicked tiling iu boyhood. Here is a fact to be ponder ed. The oldest man in the prison could not say that childhood and youth had no connection with his present condition. Perhaps lie could point to the very day and hour when he decided liis present character. VGKT I.MT 1.1. IX I KIMLVr IX TIISS < ASK. Lawyers have a belief that when a wilnt ss begius to yawn and look indif ferent, he is probably lying. A funny colloquy between a wit tie s of this class and a counselor occurred a few weeks ago in a court held not very far West. The particular matter at issue was au account of several years sU. >1 - ing; defendant swore that he pah. it j in full, and to corroborate him, called this witness. The fellow mounted the stand, tcok the oath, gaped and testi fied that the money was paid. Then he v-'as turned over to the plaiutiti lor cross-exainiaation. Lawyer—You say you saw the money paid? Witness— (Gaping) I did. Lawyer -where \v rs the plain tiff w hen defendant ca me ? Witness-In the barn (a wide gape.) Lawyer—What rronth was it? Wit ness-(Without hesitation) February.

Lawer — what was tho plaintiff doing? Wit ness—Mowing. Lawyer—\\ hat ? Now,sir, just explain to this jury howa man can be mowing in his barn before daylight in the month of February. The witness saw that he had hopeless ly involved himself in a quagmire of ; falsehood. The eyes of court, jury and ; lawyers were upon him, and he saw no way to extricate himself from his 1 dilemma. But something had to be ■ done; and so, with a nonchalant yawn, |he drawled out the words: "Well, Squire, I don't know as 1 care much j about this case anyway.— Pac'canVs i Monthly.

Brief and Seasonable llin Is.—We have often heard farmers make the re mark that they suffered inconvenience and loss, by forgetting to do many jobs at the right time, simply for the want of a reminder. For the convenience of such, and at a peculiar season just before the hurrying work of spring, when it isespechilly important to have everything in readiness, afid every hindrance out of the way, we make a few short suggessions, to serve as mem oranda. Implements. Examine ploughs, har rows, rakes, reapers, and all tools, and put them in repair. See that there is a place for every thing, and put every thing iu its place. Paint all the wooden tools with crude petroleum, which will penetrate the pores and preserve them, at little cost. After some weeks they may have a coat of paint if desired. Select tools, procure the best— they will partly compensate for the scarcity of labor. The highest priced are often the cheapest. Buildings and Fences. Repair all hinges of sagging gates, and see that the latches are in perfect order. Many a latch is broken by not being self- as tening, and many a gate banged to pieces in the wind for want of a fasten ing. Nail ail loose boards on fences and outbuildings. Procure at once all the necessary ma terials where new fences are intended. As soon as the weather will admit, re-set old fences whenever it is needed. Whenever any new buildings are re quired, or aduitious or improvement to old ones, procure at ouce the neces sary materials, so that it may not in terfere with farm work. Workshop. Every active and ingen uous fanner should have a good work shop, and set of tools for repairing im plements on stormy or rainy days.— Provide a room especially for this pur pose. Seeds. See that there is a full sup ply of grass and clover seed, remem bering that a good heavy seeding will give a heavy crop. Select seed corn and have it ready, and provide and set aside thi necessary grain for sowing. Animals. The best preparation of hores for the hard work of spring, is to feed them with perfect regularity and uniformity, and in moderate quan tities, giving them a moderateamount of some kind of work daily. Clean, dry, well ventilated and comfortable stables are vitally important. Attend to the comfort, cleanliness and regular supply of wholesome food for cattle, sheep and swine. Xea/ness generally is the best econo my. Prevent untidy accumulations of manure; avoid confusion in barns, ' sheds and out-houses. Manure should be carefully attended to. If mixed with plenty of straw lit ; ter, pile it up in square heaps to de cay. If with uncut cornstalks.several months may be necessary for it to rut in heaps before using. Unless very coarse or fibrous manure it may be drawn out before the ground thaws, and spread at ouce on sod intended to plough tor corn. The rains will soak it into the soil, and it will be much more useful than if drawn out ju-t be fore ploughing. Farm Laborers should be secured or ; hired in good time. The be t ones are ' commonly engaged first. One good one is worth more than two bad ones for labor, and will give the employer an infinitely less amount of annoy | anee. Pay good prices and secure the best. As a general rule, an employer will make more in planning his work well, and running it like a perfect ma : chine, than by beatiug down a man in iiis wages. I Farm Accounts. Procure the neces | sary blank books for these accounts. — Map the farm and measure the fields. Note the labor expended in each, and its products. Keep a daily memoran dum book, noting any mistakes or o . missions, to be corrected at the proper dates another vear, ! | The rain that falls on the roof of a | barn will water the eattle kept inside. Recipes. To bleach e.faded dress.— Wash it well in tiie suds, and boil it until the color seems to bo gone, then wash and | rin.-e, and dry in the sun. If not suit ; clently white, repeat the boiling, ad ; ding a handful of chloride of lime, and a gill of vinegar to the water, in stead of soap. Good prints and other articles of dress are frequently east a stde because they are faded; but they may again render good service by this j mode of bleaching. Preserved Orange Peel. —As oranges j are used, throw the peelings into a jar j of hot water, which should be poured J off and renewed every few days, and when a sufficient quantity have been saved, boil them in enough water to cover them until soft, and to apo ind of peel put a pound of white sugar, boil fifteen minutes. (ream Cake.— One tablespoonful ot syrup, a large tablespoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of butter; one cup of rich cream ami one cup of milk, sweet ened with sugar and seasoned with nutmeg to your taste. This for one pie; bake in crust. Cottage Pudding, —One cup of butter, one and a half of sugar, one of sour cream, one teaspoonful of soda, four eggs, flour enough to mix a soft dojgh. Bake one hour. Sauce butter and su gar whipped tight together; grate nut meg over it. Long Island Cake.—O.'.v pound su gar, one pound flour, half pound but ter, oao cup milk, one teaspoonful of sab nitus, threeeggs, nutmeg aud rosi water to taste. Sugar C'afa— Three cups of sugar, one of sour cream, one of butler, U ree eggs, one teaspoonful of sali-rat lis, and flour enough t<> s'itfeu.
