There; a|re some people who can never overcome nervous excitement and terror in thunder! storms. It is common to ridi cule puch fear but laughter and ridicule can never drive them away. They spring from constitutional nausea, and persons so affected suffer intensely during the preva lence jof a thunder storm. That they are thtis affected does not indicate cowardice or uOworthy terror. Perhaps in immi nent; deadly peril, that would appal and unman one who is insensible to the fears or the grandeur of electric storms, these very persons would manifest the calmest courage. • Let not those, therefore, of tough neh’jes and hardened constitutions and calm. temperaments, boast themselves over tjheir neighbors because they can en dure |“ thej storm’s” career, “thelight- Ding’s shpc?k,” without winking. There ' sire, doubtless, many whb are filled |with fears and perturbations, during thunder anjl lightning, from an undefined - sense pf danger, and because of their total ignorance cjf the nature of it or the source from whence it may come. \To such per sons, [the |ouder the clap of thunder the more pgitafied they become, not knowing, pr forgetting that, when the thunder the ear all the danger is past.— Thosej who fare, struck by lightning never see it, nor even hear the thunder which The danger of being struck by , ightningiis the'least of all the dangers by sea or land to which we are! continually exposed. ; If a thousand are killed every year ip the jUnited States, it is but one in every 00,0(10 of the inhabitants. Compare this with ;the mortality in the city of Bos ton, whicji is, every week,,bn the average, one in 22,000( ( (.and every year one in 40 of thej population. A little j information gathered from a recent; publication, The Reason Why, may tend tp allay .the fears of some. At any rate, questions which are constantly being asked are‘here satisfactorily answered : Whpt is ijhe cense of lijhtning? Lightning is the result of electrical dis chargejs from the clouds. What is thunder ? Thunder i is. the noise which succeeds the rush of the electrical fluid through the air. T. j'-l' _ i . ■, When docs lightning occur ? clouds, charged with the oppo site electricities, approach, the forces rush to each other, arid combine in a state of eqttiUh[nu^&|« ' ' Wiy lightning attend this move ment of thb jforros of electricity ? Because! jfcbe atmosphere, being unable to convey the groat changes of electricity as they rpsh towards each other, acte as an insulator, and the lightning is caused by violence, of the.electricity in for cing its paisage; When the conducting power |s tp the force of electricity, it passes inyisibly, noiselessly and harm lessly, .Whenever it finds a sufficient source of conduction. WbY.doCa lightning sometimes appear forked? i Because ft being resisted in its progress by the air. -t|ie electricity divides into two or mofo points, flies from point to point, and seeks a passaige in different directions. Does lightning ever pass upwards from the earth to the clouds r ' ’ Yes, | when the earth is charged with a different electricity from that which is in the clouds. | Why is; it dangerous 1 to stand near a tree during an electric storm? ’ - Because the tree is a better conductor than air; and electricity would probably strike the tree and pass to the person standing near. Why; is it dangerous to sit near a fire place r i ; i ; Beeajue the chimney, taing a tp# ob- [independent In everything.} Jfict, and the smoke a goodcondnctor, would probably attract the electricity and convey it to the body of a person sitting near the fire. Why is it dangerous to be near water daring a thunder storm ? Because water is a good conductor and the vapor arising from it might attract the electricity. ' Are iron houses dangerous ? No; they ate very safe, because their entire surface is a good conductor and would convey , the electricity harmlessly to the earth. •Are iron bedsteads dangerous ? * No ; they are safe, because the iron frame, completely surrounding the body, aud hav.ng a great capacity for conduc tion, would keep electricity away from the body. Why is it safe to be in bed during a thunder storm ? Because feathers, hair, wool, cotton, &c., especially when dry, are good insula tors or non-conductors. What is the safest situation to De in during a storm ? In the centre of a room, isolated as far as possible from surrounding objects; sit ting on a chair and avoiding handling any of the conducting substances. The win dowB and doors should be closed to pre vent drafts of air. In the open air, what is the safest situ ation ? To keep-aloof as far as possible from elevated structures; regard the rain as a protection against the lightnings stroke, for wet cloths would supply so-good a con- that a large amount of electricity would pass over a man’s, body, through wet clothes, and he would be quite uncon scious of it. There are practices tolerated in religious congregations which Christians, who are jealous' for the honor of their* Master’s house, should utterly condemn. Decoram is the handmaid of devotional feelings and for this reason the |house of Godsshould never be disturbed \by the slightest ap proach to irreverence! “Itis a part of my religion,” said a pious old lady, when asked why she went eirly to church, “ It is part of my religion hot to interrupt the religion of others.” And we believe if many a congregation made it a part of their religion not to twist their necks out of joint to witness the entrance of every person who passes up the aisle of the church, it would be better for their necks and their religion. A gross abuse of re ligious decorum sometimes needs a harsh remedy. We give that adopted by Henry Clay Dean; who was at one time chaplain of Congress. The anecdote is from a pa ?er called “The Pacific Methodist”: Being worried, one afternoon, by this turning practice in his congregation.- Air. Dean stopped in his sermon, and said— “Now, you listen to me, and I’M tell you who the people are, as each one of them comes in.” ' He then went on with his discourse until a gentleman entered, when he bawl ed out like an ushercr, “Deacon A who ceeps. the shop over ithe way,” and then went on with his sermon. # Presently another man passed up the aisle, and he gave his name, residence and occupation ; so he continued for some time. At length some one entered the door who was unknown to Mr. Dean, when he crieNi out, “ A little old man, with drab coat\ and an old white hat; don’t know him—Vlook for yourselves.” That congregation was cured. Fight Between- a Doctor and Doc tress.—A lively uhd ludicrpus combat be tween a female physician, Mrs. Stilwell, and a regular tfowsered doctor, named McNeil, took place in the street of DeWitt lowa, a few days ago. The affair grew out of professional rivalry, the immediate provocation being a lengthy arttcie in the village paper from the pea of the male disciple of JEsculapius, severely reflecting on the character of his professional sistcr. The latter, after a careful diagnosis of the case, decided that it was one' calling for the vigorous application of a stimulant in the shape of a cowskin. ; Providing herself with the article, she hunted up her traduce?, and plied him so assiduously with’ heavy doses of the new therapeutical agent, at remarkably short intervals, that the patient, unable to bear such bold practice, clasped the fair practi tioner in his arms, and held her so forcibly and affectionately that the efforts of the town marshal were necessary* to release her. At the latest accounts both doctor and patient were doing well- ' IST Mr. Fudge , in describing an in terview with his Mary Ann says : She put one arm around my heck, ana t’other one whar the circling goes round a boss, tuk the in turn oh me with her left foot, and give me a kiss. My toes felt like as if minnies were nibbling at um—a cold streak run up and down my back like a Hazard with a turkey-hen after him in j settin tamo, and my stummiok and •nsatasfied Hkf. Neck-Twisting In Cfaurcii. “Come in," : said I; When the door opened, and jeho should: walk in but Satan! “ How d'ye do ?” said he. ; “Pretty well,” said I.

I dare say you i thinkyou are doing a great deal of good V,\ • “ Well, not so much as I could wish: )ufa little, I hope,Said j “.You have a very large lot of readers?" said he. “ Well, pretty well for tliat,” said I. “ And I dare say you'are pretty proud of theip ?” remarked Satan. 1 “ No, I am not, for not one half of them pay for their papers,” said fc n You don’t say so!” he exclaimed. “Yes, that I do; not op& half of them pay for their papers !” “ Well,” said he, “ they are an immoral lot; but let me have the list, I think I can do a trifle myself with; shch people.” A Philadelphia paper p^ys; The fol lowing story is good because it is true. —• We had it feom the lips Of 'a* woman, who was told it by the principal, actor herself: .V U “Ven I first come to Filadelfy to serve, I was very uncivilised,” sai&Katrihc, now a tidy, intelligent servant in a respectable family. “ I laugh mooch,: land I feel mooch ashamed to remember bow 1 behave ven I know so little! Shod, he took me to the theatre one night, when I been in Filadelfy but three weeks We sits in Urn gallery, and we hot see good, andShpn said he. would get a better seat. So he puts his leg round dc post, and shlides down in id de pit, and he looks up and calls out, u Katrine, Katrine I oopm down! thish a good view here I” and I learned Over, and said I, “ Hovhcan 1 boom Shon ?” And he said: 1 “ Just shlide down.” Sol Php my leg round de pillar,.and I shlide •lown too.

Everybody: laugh, and yell, and whistle all over de housO 1 I Was ashamed, den, though I knew pot any harm 1 But ' now, I blushes every time I dinks of it.” ■ A lady not far off gives her views of woman’s rights to the world. She is against th 3 interference of woman in poll* tics. She asks pointedly ; ' “ If men can’t do the voting, and take care of the country, what is the use of theinf' Tfcjtfs a jo**.* m i. , I The TrneLad j. -• No.prl can become a true lady without knowledge of household duties. What ever may be her literary proficiency and her social qualities, without the ability to do housework, if necessity demand, her education is defective, iri s Mrs. Washington, mother of the Gen eral, always attended her domestic affairs, even in the presence of! the most distin guished guests. Lafajreiie, paid her a visit before his departure for Europe, In the fall of 1774. He was conducted tp her mansion by one .of hjsr grandsons,— “There, sir, is my grandmother,” said he as they approached the house. Lafayette looked up and saw at work in the garden, clad in domestic clothes, and her gray head covered wfth a plain [straw hat, the mother of his hero.” She gave Lafayette a cordial welcome, observing, “ Ah, Mar quis, you see an old woman j hut come, I can make you welcome to ; my poor dwel ling, without the parade of changing my dress.” i ; Mrs. Martha Washingtop, the wife of the General, was no less distinguished for her management of houshold affairs. She was a good seamstress, a good cook, and a good mother.” She understood every de partment of domestic labor,; and wai bver ready to do what circumstances required. Mrs. Troupe,, the accomplished wife; of a ’captain of the British navy, once visited her, and she gave the follovring account of Mrs. Washington's appearance: , “ Well, I will honestly fell you I never was so ashamed in all my life. You see, Madame——, and Madame s—-,and myself, thought we would visit Lady Washington; and as she vfak said to be so grand a lady, we thought wfe must put our best bibs and bands on. So we dressed ourselves in the most elegant ruffles and silks, and were- introduced fcj her ladyship. And, don’t you think, we found her knit ting and. with a check apron on! She received us very graciously and easily, but after the compliments were over, she re sumed her knitting. There we were, without k stitch of work, and sitting in state; but General Washington’s lady, with her owu hands was knitting stock ings for her own husband.” ; Timely Warning.
