Not that tl ey will enjoy the hopping around, first on one foot, and then on the other, then bn loth, but they will haVe such a good chbnoc to hug other folks’ wives and sweethearts! That is the secret of the dancing ! No one can ob ject then, but if a fellow were to sit by the side of his own wife ejven in a ball room and hug her half as hard, well, wouldn’t there be remarks ?] Guess not!

But then ! If a fellow don’t know how, and takes to a party a pretty girl what does; and if he has to sit on a cold bench and see another fellow doing the sweet Hoggings of that angelic cro£ ture that he paid histicket ihoneyfor,it’s awful! Just to sit still and see anothef’s arm where yours should be—head where it should not bo, and—and—well, don't take a girl to a fancy dancing party un less you know all the ropes I” .Speed of Bots’Sleds.— A friendin fornra us that being in Middletown a day or two since, he timed the Speed of the boys’ sleds there, where epaating has been a very popular amusement. T/It was on Court street, and the inclination pretty steep all the way to the riveri. He found that the sleds went half a rule in eigh teen seconds, dr nearly two mil is a minute ? This is double the speed of the swiftest express train. It is a sport rot unatten ded with danger, especially when the sleds come down across traveled i dads or city streets. Witness, the fatal: accident in Farmington the other day. In Middle town, the boys would tie a string ofsleds together, railroad-oar' fashion, and one of these trains, in crossing a [road, came against a two-horse team and threw both hOrses down, the'sleds passing under the horses in safety.-?- Hartford Times.

Some plates were fired at with 68-pounders, at 200 yards range, -and were literally cut in ' halves by balls, fired one after another, on a line drawn on the surface, each ball striking immediately below its predeces sor. Upon some other plates the balls made a circular indentation upon the sur face nearly as deep, as the plates, exactly of the form oi the projectile, as though a mold had been taken ' of it in some soft and yiblaing substance- It was only after repeated trials that it was decided that the plates should he* of annealed scrap iron.—— The labor involved in building up these plates is enormous. In the first instance, small swaps of iron are thrown into the fires, and, when in a state of red heat, are i subjected to severe uAder the steam hammer, until tike whole is beaten ' and ainalgated into a solid mass of about half a tun weight. This lump' is-then placed on tho top of a similar mass, the whole made red hot, and hammered and welded together. Repeated Additions of this kind are made until about five tuns of metal are thus welded together; in one huge, shapeless body. This is then brought to a glowing white bent, and placed under the huge hammer, tha thun dering blows of which gradually reduce it into shape. Again afid again the enor mous slab is put into the furnace and ham- - mored intd one piece, 18 feet long, $ feet Wide', and 4} inches thick. From ten to a dozen men are engaged in the work of moving these ponderous masses of iron,;— which are moved about apparently with " the most perfect ease. Powerful cranes swing the molten mass from the furnaces to the hummer; a nicely adjusted balance is provided by a massive iron lever, one end of which is welded into'and forms part of tho metal, and this is provided with a dozen or more of horns or handles, by which iron can be turned in any dir rection; for the plates, are not only ham mered on the broad surface; but at the sides and at the top and* bottom. The plates, after haying been roughly formed into shape, are completely planed and squared. Planing machines of enormous size hug these plates in their resistless arms, and hear them slowly and silently under the sharp-cutting edges of the tools, and. thin shavings of the metal, which, as they are cutoff, coil up in long, bright ringlets of iron, attest the tremendous power of those noiseless and all hut om nipotent machines. When the edges and surfaces are made perfectly smoom, like the finest jwork of the cabinet-maker, tho ’ plates are plated on an end, gripped firmly by a mortizing maohice, and as they travel slowly backward and forward m the frame work against a small tongue of steel, a groove of about one .inch > in width and depth is formed, into which the corres ponding projections formed on the side of another plate will fit with the most per fect the plates all being made to dovetail on each of the four sides.; ■ , ; An Affecting Stoey. —The following account of a heart-rending circumstance we extract from an exchange : 4 We once saw a young'man in 10se ga zing at the *ry heavens, with af in l and a—- of pistols in the other.— We endeavored to attract his atlOtlon by ving 2 a in a paper we held in onr y&u, relating to a young in that § of the coun try who left home in a stB of derange- He" dropped the f and pistols from his a®., with the I “It is lof whom U read j I left homebe*i my friends knew of my design.
