TEOM THE DARK BEYOND. A Ohoatly Adrenture on Lake Huron. ' It was in the sixties, " Paid Capt. Smlthers of the bark Windward, "that 1 met with a curious adventure on the Lake Huron. " We were in the Lake Superior ore trn.ie, running out of Cleveland, and on the return trip we generally manaped to pick up a light freipht of machinery and general cargo. ' At the time of which I ppoak I had command of a schooner called the Black L.-ILT1.'. Well, one night late in the .Summer, the tup had scarcely let go of us at the foot of Lake Huron, when it came on to blow pr -nt puns. " We p .t til schooner snup and sliip Bhape tor bad weather and let her skip, h.mi: t::e w.r.d from the southeast. In." pave us our co .rso up the lake, but w.t; in a i liou. we had everything d ..ji.le reefed rai l the two men at the W.ieel.

' l! w.is ne.,r mi.iniplit and we sere ai r a-t o: I. inpton. .r a l.ttle above, when I suddenly heard a hail from off car si arl.i .ai d bow. Al.nd yoi, the whole criv were on ii"ck at tiiis time, and the schooner was cl.iul.;:.p up one h.ll and sliuii p down nnottiei in a way to make vou tlniik her bottom had been prened for tho occa s on. I had two men on the lookout foiwai.l, but they had reported no', hing. -'Schooner ahoy!' camo from the water. " 1 ran forward to the ftarhoard shrouds of the foremast, and peered into the storm and darkness, but could see not h ng. ' 'Schooner ahoy" came the hail again. ' S:aud by to take my line.' "Next insta::t the end of a heaving line (lew over my shoulder, a d as I pulled in on it. ,,sisted by one of th lookouts, a skiff drew a!ong-iiie and a man climbed upon th tail. " I was th i: weak in the knees I could hardly stand up. A man coming aboard of us in such a cockle shell in such a sea as that was truly remarkable, and you must add to thi- the fact thai lie sat there on the schooner's rail as cool as ice and i.awle l out to me: " ' Hope I have. i t put you to any trouble, (.'apt. Smithers!" ' ' Who are y.u, and where do you come from?' I should! in ids ear. " ' I'm Capt. Zane of the brig Petrel. Lon't you know your old friends, eli V ' " That made me jump, and such of the crew as had crowded around us pave him s-a room pretty quick. " Capl. Zane b fr. Buffalo in the IVtrcl five years belore that, and his . -r.i'i had gone down in a blow with ul i a .Is. I ha 1 known him well, ar.d in tint:, this chap on the rail, now t hat I m to look closer, tia-i as near like l.im a a twin brother, except that his hair had grown w hi'.er.

Morning wa.i jui breaking, and, thougn the wind i.ad gone down some, there was a heavy sua running an i the schooner was head to it, wheel iaaiied, and drifting va ltii dry decks. " n wan a long time before I could coin; d-. lien d w hat had happen, d or get at the facts," continued the enptain. ' It seemed that the cap on the main mast had been struck by l.g.dning. While little injury had been done, the fehock had knocked every body except the cook senseless. Some of the men re covered aiTer a quarter of an hour, pome remained as if dead for nearly two nours. I was one of the lat ones up. " Now, as to what happened after I went down, I give you the word of the cook, who was a respectable colored man. and not given to lying. " Capt. Zane juoapjed down qC tiie raU, let go throat ami peak halyards all around, and while tie went aloft to stow fore and main topsails the schoon er steered her-elf. " When he came down he took the wheel, hel l the craft up until the jih was full, and then brought her about willi her n se to the wiik! wd:iou. ship ping a pail of water. Then lie pulled and trimmed, hauied the ni.iin-ail up a bit to counterbalance, and when the whe -1 had been ia.-hed amidsiiip- the Black Bale how. d and nodded and drove off before tlie gale in ship shap fa-hion. " When I got my bearings l'ort Austin light was less than live miles away, and the wind had gone down so that we had little trouble to bring the schooner bac. on ner course. As soon as we reached Houghton every bles-ed man ol the crew, ma.e and cook in lude I, pave me tae slip. " Money couldn't have hired one of them to make another voyage in the Black Kaglo while 1 was iu command, believing aa they did, that my old friend was likely to come aboaid agaiu any t;me-' m a To Tell Horam' Apt, The full-grown horse possesses twenty-four back teeth, that is eii in each side of each jaw; these are called mol ars or grinders. He ha3 twelve front teeth, that is six in each jaw. Mares have no tushes. The foal has either at its birth, or shortly afterward, eight milk teeth, that ia, for in each jaw ; at about twelve months two more mi.k teeth come in each jaw. These remain unchanged till ho is three years old. The mouth of tho yearling and two years old cannot be confounded. Tho yearling mouth shows no signs of use, and the corner teeth are shells only ; at two years old these teeth are sirong and well grown, and the Coiner teeth filled up. A little before three years old the two centre teeth of each jaw fall out, and are replaced by permanent teeth. A litile beiore four the two teeth on each side of the centre teeth are replaced by permanent ones. A little before livo, tho two remaining teeth -re fahed, and in their place Come permanent ones. Tho upper milk teeth usually fall out first. Thus the nioutli is complete as to its front teeth ; the coiner tooth, however, is but imperfectly developed, being at present a shed only; tins shell at til years old has tilled up, and id a com plete tooth. This the difference be tween a five and a six- ear-old. 'i he tushes appear between three and a half years and lour years old, and they take nearly two years io arrive at their full growth. Tnea teeth, as the. horse grows older, get biuntcr and bhorter, and so to an ei eueueed judge are a sure indication of age. Up to -six cars old the mouth is in a distinct and periodical state of struct ural i hango. There is 1.0 liiillcuiiy iu dcterming the ago up to that date. Af ter t hat t; e ape must be judged by the shape of tiiO ruout.i and the appearance of the teeth called the mark. At six years of ape the cups leave two centre teeth above, at seven the next two above, and at eight the outer or corner teeth above. At nine the two centre teeth below lose the cups, at ten the next two be low, and at eleven the outer or corner teeth below.

Bevoted as she was to the world of fashion, Miss Frampton did not admire all its ways. Under tne date of she w rot e : " My sister, rhlllia Wallaston, now be; ween sixteen a d seventeen, was be ginning to be produced a little In the world. '-At that time everybody wore powder and pomat um ; a large triangular thing called a cushion, to which th hair was fri..ed up with three or lour enormous curls on each side; the higher the pyra mid of hair, gauze, feathers and ol her ornaments was c rried the more fash ionable ii was thought, a id su h was the Labor employ -d to rear the fabric that nig .tea, '.s were made in jrop..r:i n to ii and covere ov t the hair, immensely long biack pins, double and -ingle, pow der, pomatum, ami all ready lor the next day. " I think I, remember hearing that twenty-four largo pins were by 11 mean an 11 11 us. ,1 .1 number to go to ted with on your head. ' Tne perfection of figure, according to the turn lashion, was the smailness of the circumference into which your unfoitunate w.i.st coulu ne compressed, and many a poo. irl hurt her health very matciiaily oy trying to rival tho reigning beauty of that day, the Itu.-hes.s of liutland, who wu,s eaid to squeeze heiscii to the si:o of an orar.go and a half. " Small hoops were worn in a morning and larger f t u tiros, some going out ward as tiny Went downward, some thing in the form ol a bed. ".NiO'iucs were very common; my mother constantly wore them.

Imitation In Fuhlnnt, It is to the advantage of tV.nt larpe section of tho people who make tln-ir lne!iii..o. by iippls ing the rest of the wor.d w it h clothes that fashions should hai.ge quickly, so that new clothes may t- l-o.ight before the old have been worn (nit, because the latter have be come m.trf. t n the part of some people there Is a constant demand for novelty ; tli"y do not like to wear things, imitations of which have been obtained by "Jack. Tom and Harry," or " Marv, Vane and Lliza." Consequently, the tradesman's brain is busy to devise the novelties which are in demand. Failing this demand fie wilt devise a rwivelty all the same, and. car. jolly introducing it to a select few, he knows that by imitation a large demand for it will soon be created. Now, to devise a real novelty is some thing which requires positive genius, and as this commodity is rare, the majority of the new fashions which are con-tantly appearing are., in reality, only ino.iiiicatioiis of bygone styles. Thus it is with tho well-known "masher" collar, hat and stick, with the dancing pump and Queen Anne shoe, w ith the crinolette and padded shoulders and hips. A prediction has been made to me by the head of a fashionable firm that crinolettes will be all the rape during the season of INsO, and. although it is devoutly to be wished that this will not be the case, it i highly prolmhle that the prediction will le fulfilled, for the t-tyle of 1-T has led up to it, and trade influence can accomplish the rest. As the American said : "It is never safe to prophet?- unless you know," and the prophet iu this case had inailo up his mind to male a large sale of the article in question. The Quaker's ad vice to his son: "Make money, my boy ! honestly, if you can ; but make money !" requires no repetition to men of this stamp, for they bave long fol lowed it implicitly. It is wonderful how people will sub mit to bo humbugged in the 6acred name of Fashion. .Baliia's " Scioaoa oX Dresa." HOW WE PLATED " WOBD STOEIES." Verbal Invrt i jritlo" n m Flesaaot and Profitable Paatirae. Most words have a story of their own, somet imes quite a romantic one, often philosophic, always suggestive; frequently taking the ono who would explore for himself away down deep into the roots of tilings, writes' Amanda B. Harris in Wide Awake. To trace them, follow them up. look into the derivations and combinations, hunt up the compounds and collaterals and find out incidents about them is a study absolutely inexhaustible; and that it ma- become a pleasant pastime you shall see. Our company was made up of two elderly persons, several in the sophomore class, from the college close by, and three high school girls. The elders had the advantage of much reading and experience, hut the others had something quite as available, for they were fresh from their Latin, (ler man and French; and the proposition, by the by, came from one of these young damsels who thought there was romance enough about language to make it worth while to look into it. iur chief tools were two big diction aries (unabridged); and some modern school books were resorted to as helps. We began alphabetically, and for our first experiment lif I may call it Sol sel ected words bepiiuiinp with A. (if course picturesque words were chosen, not dry adverbs or prepositions or such as nothing special could bo made of; arid the plan was to find out everything possible about the special word he or she had picked out ; what it was derived from, and any in cidents connected with it, including t he reading of any poom or quotation from the poets where it was especially the subject. You will at once perceive that this brought into exercise not only research but t lie critical, discriminating faculties, and that tho horizon widened and widened as we went on, and that wo found ourselves in tho very best company. Now for an illustration, let metell you a little about the experience with the letter C. Tin; list brought in was one of tho most piet uresque ; and at one word the lir-t we were away back in the region of romance and poesy, of history and tyranny. The list began with curfew, and the one .vho bad chosen it immediately gave the derivation and explained what 1'ie couvre-feii was "an immense bowl-shapeil cover with one-third cut out, ornamented and with .1 handle; iu fact, an elaborate fender, shutting over the lire and nlmost enclosing it" I give her o.vn words. Then t he st .ry of the Norman tyrnnny ovr the Saxons was told, and hi live, minutes every one was on the alert to tell somet hing about Hie curfew, whereupon ono cuthu.-ia-tlc girl cried out : "Oh, life is not long enough to learn all one wants to; isn't this drlieil u s !''

His father was an ardent admirer of Jackson, and insistixl that tho son, then Just of B;-e, should make a pilgrim age to Wash ington for the sole purpose of peeing the old hero. They lived at Brie, Fcnn., and the long Journey had to 1-e made on borsebnek. The voting man took the tedious ildn, and, after refreshing himself at a Wash ington hotel, went up to the White House and asked to see the Bre-ident. V hen he was admitted he told Jackson that he had ridden nil the way from Brie to see him The president asked his business, and was hlg' ly pleased when he was told that the object of the visit had been accomplished in obtain ing an Interview.

For a week the young Bcnnsylvanian enjoyed "Old Hickory's" hospitality.

Tmctti VVliirh Mai He of Sr rTtc to Sufferer from the Habit of stammering. Stammering is an affection of the vocal organs, causing a hesitancy and difficulty of utterance. The best author ities now regard its origin as distinct from any physical defect. Tii ere" can" be no doubt that the Im pediment is aggravated by physical weakness or debility of any kind", but these influences have nothing to do with the primary cause ol the infirmity. A nervous diead of speaking is usually associated with stammering, but this is rathera result than a cause. If constitutional nervousness was pro ductive of stammering the number of cases would much greater and in clude an excess of females over males, w herea-s the fact is that men furnish by far the greater proportion of those so affect ed, besides stammerers are not in general persons of weak nerves otic rwise than in the act of speaking. Nervousness is associated with speech in stammering because of the conscious ness that the defect is made the subject of observation. The strength of the Impediment lies in habit, in mismanagement of the breath and organs of utterance, ren dered habitual in extreme youth ; and t he removal of tlie defect depends upon 11k; acquirement of voluntary control over t he organs of speech. Children have often been known to be infected with the habit by the most casual example. If, on the iirt appear ance of this defect on the part, of a child, parents and nurses were careful to check it by patient direction ami in struction, an unfortunate habit of a lifetime might always be prevented. Stammering usually makes its appear ance at about the tifth year, but harsh ness and impatience with children, of-pccially if there is constitutional tim idity combined with natural slowness of mental action, may induce it at even a much later period. Tho varieties of stammering ore very great. Sometimes there is great mus cular disturbance and a painful effort, to articulate certain letters. This trouble arises from disordered respiration and disappears when the habit of closing the glottis is overcome and the air is allowed to pass freely in and out of the lungs. Another trout. le consists in the ro if oration of syllables before words can be fully formed. The source of this difficulty arises from the habit of trying to speak with the mouth rather than the throat. All effort of speech should pro ceed from the throat, and whet: this change Is made, fluency can be easily regained. Stammering is in nearly every case quite curable by the cultivation of a habit of correct speaking. This can only he acquired by studying the pro- eessesl.-'s ("ll. til." relation ,,f bp -.-.ill to in-1 the ti a) -i a i.lafe soiind.. the posif.ai (,f g 10 ami other vocal orgm: latient application of this,. prjec'ples in slow and watchful ee!' : -e.

On returning home after the performance she discov red that her brea-tpin, which was qu.te valuable, had been stolen. She was very sorry, for the breastpin was a present.
