Tlie morning snn had not mounted high enough in the sky to scud his rnvs into Greta a room, when she was awak ened by a noise. She listened, It was the sound of a boat g rating against the aide of the canal. Who could be com ing to their back door so early ? She sprang out of bed, and ran quickly to the open Window. A disappointment awaited her. It was only her father's boat, which the maid servant Charlotte was pushing along, slowly making her way to the landing-stairs. " Where have you been so early, Charlotte?* called "out Greta. "Are yon there youngsters*" said Charlotte, looking up at the bright face* at the window; for the little Amelia had roused by her sister's wild jump from the bed, and had also run to the window. - Rad Charlotte, to wake ur ao ear ly !" cried Amelia. * Charlotte laughed. " You wouldn't think me bad. Minchen, if you knew all the good thing* I've been buying at market. Have you forgotten your <vus ins are coming to-day, all the way from over the sea? I'm sure they 11 be hnugry enough." It was not necessary for Charlotte to remind th w little girls of the cousins who lived m the city of New York, in the far-t>ff land of America. For the last month little else had been talked of in the Yati Sekaick mansion besides the expected visit of the Chester family. Mrs. Van Schaiek and Mrs. Chester were sisters, and this was but the second visit the latter had paid her old Holland home since her marriage. On the first visit her children were not with her; but now Mr. Chester was eomiug, and the two boys. Many were the wild speculations the girls indulged in with regard to Americans, —what they would look like, and what they would say and da Great, then, was their surprise, when the travelers arrived, to find that their aunt Chester was very like their mother in appearance and dress. Mr. Chester did not in the least resemble their father, but he was not unlike mapy other men thev had seen, and he did not dress* in wilil beast skins. As for the boys, Greta poured her tale of woe into the ears of the sympathising Charlotte. •' They are jnst like English boys !" she said, contemptuously. Greta hail often seen English boys, "and there was noth ing uncommon about them. This was soon forgotten, however, when Greta discovered what pleasant companions the boys were, and that they could put the Dutch words together al most as correctly as Greta herself. Will Chester, who hail reached the dignified age of thirteen, had felt mnch troubled at the thonght that he would have "only girls " to plav with at Zaandam, especi ally as Greta was a year younger than himself. Within an hoar, Martin said, "Let us take a walk. I want to look at this queer place." The Van Schaiek? lived in Zaandam, and it is indeed a queer place to Ameri can eyes. It is a large town, with but two streets, one on each side of the Zaan River; but these two extend for a long distance, and are crossed at frequent in tervals by canals, so that Martin soon got tired counting the little bridges the children passed over in their walk. Will was not quite sure whether the bnck paved street was all road-way or side walk. "I don't see any carriages," he said, after studying this matter for some time. " People don't ride much heje." said Greta. " There are plenty of carriages in Amsterdam." " How do you get about, then ?" "On our feet and in boats. Look at our fine river, and there are ever so many canals ! What do we want with carriages ?" "It must be jolly going everywhere in boat*," said Will. "I should like that!" "We have some very pretty boats," said Greta, much pleased. " Oh! wouldn't you like to go fishing ? I'll ask father to take us some day soon." "Well, if that isn't funny!" cried Martin, with a burst of laughter, not having heard what Greta had been say ing. Will joined in the laughter, ami Greta looked around in vain to discover the cause of their merriment " Looking-glasses on the ontside of the houses!" explained Martin, point ing to one opposite. " I guess they're put there for the girls to look in as they walk along," he added mischiev ously. " They can't wait to get home to admire themselves." " Why, they are on all the houses !" said Willi "To be sure !" said Greta. " What is there funny in that ? And the girls don't look in'them anymore than the boys, Mr. Martin. Don't vou see that they are placed so that folks can see down the street without leaning out of windows ?" *" " What lota of flowers !" was his next comment. " They sre everywhere, ex cept in this brick pavement, and noth ing oould giow here, it is clean." " And such pretty houses in the gardens!" said WilL " But they are so small," Baid Martin. "It would take a dozen of them to make a New York house." "My g>odness?" said Greta, turn ing her head back as far a* she oould, and looking at the sky. " How do you ever see up to their roofs ?" " Divide Martin's twelve by fonr, and you will oome nearer the truth," said Will, laughing. " But, at any rate, the houses are pretty— paintecf green and yellow, with red-tiled roofs."— SL Nicholas. French Duels. A large number of persons must won der bow Frenchmen can fight so many duels—some engaging in hostile combat every few weeks without seriously hurting anybody or being seriously hurt themselves. The reason that French duels so seldom prove to be tragedies lies in the fact that, according to the Gallic oode, a duel must end, unless there i be special agreement to the contrary, tho moment that blood has been drawn on either aide. Thus a mere scratch may, and often does, terminate a com bat, because the shedding of even a drop of blood is supposed to wash away the stain made npon one's honor by the offer of an affront or the infliction of an injury. A skilled swordsman, under such conditions, can nsually bring a duel to an end by pricking his adversary in the arm or in any non-vital part. A reputation for nicety of honor is, there fore, tasily gained in France, and at very small risk to life or limb. Occa sionally a duel is fought over there with pistols—this is known as an American duel, and means business—and then some grave result is always anticipated, since the choice of pistols shows that the principals feel bitter animosity to wards one another. When Armand Carrel was killed by Emile de Girardin, nearly 42 years ago, the weapons were pistois, as they have been in most of the fatal engagements among the testy Gauls. American daels are generally o>gsrded by the French as savage and brutal encounters, and are never imi tated under any ordinary provocation. timely topic* The British Cabinet now consists of thirteen members.

The dog died of what the -physicians called rabies, and the two victims, whose wounds were seared with hot irons,have recovered, except a slight soreness from the cauterization. Captain Boy ton's sr. .m a few weeks ago across the Straits of Gibraltar was very perilous. A great shark swam around him and grew more and more aggressive until it was frightened away by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge. Night came on and with it high wind and waves, daring which the captain was lost sight of several times by the boil's crew who accompanied him, and who were so frightened that they insist ed that he should give up the voyage and get into the boat. At last the cap tain made land and frightened terribly a party of Moors, who ran away as fast as they could, thinking that some dread ful sea monster had landed on their shores. Tne attempted assassination of the Emperor of Germany recalls the fact that on the same day of the same month, namely, thellth of May, 1812, Mr. I'er cival was assassinated in the lobby of the Bntiah House of Commons by Bel lingham. The month of May has, iu deed, been marked on several occasions by crimes or attempted crimes of the same nature. On the 30th of May, 1842, Queen Victoria was fired at when driv ing down Constitution Hill in an open carriage by John Francis, who was sub sequently transported for life, the death sentence passed upon him being com muted. The 14th of May was the date of the murder of Henry IV. of France by Ravaillac; and on the 4th of May, 1847, Queen Isabella of Spam was twice fired at by La Hi vs. One of the Paris journals relates a pretty episode which took place on the day of the inauguration of the exhibi tion. A member of the Italian Commis sion. a short while before the arrival of the Marshal's guests, perceived that the flag floating on the facade of his section carried no cyape in mourning remem brance of King Victor Emmanuel. There was little time left to repair the neglect, and the Commissioner dreaded the censure of the Duke of Aosta. So, without a moment's hesitation, he ad dressed a lady wearing a long black vail, explained the situation, and begged her to relieve him from his anxiety. The lady immediately handed him her vail, and when a few momeD'.s later the oor tege passed by, the tri color flag of Italy was draped with the sombre sign of na tional liereavement. An Indian Song. There is a beautiful little song in the Ohippcwa language which is full of pathos and rhyme, and which the little children sing when at play in the even ing. A traveler thus describe* it: "One evening while in the Chippewa village I was attracted by shouts of merriment from childish voices, and I walked out to the green lawn Bkirting the edge of the river to get a full view of the play ers and hear their songs. A group of children were at play gamboling and chasing the fire-flies, millions of which little insects tilled the air, innking the plain to literally sparkle with phospho rescent light. The following are the words which they addressed to the in- " W&u wan tay see! W&u w&u lay nee: F. now o Bhiu T&ahe bw&n ne b&un e wee Bee egh&un-be eghaun-e wee Wa wan tay see Wa wau tay see Was g& koon am je gun Was sa koon aiu ja gnu." Literally translated, they would read: Flitting white fire-fly, Waving white fire-bug, G ve me light to go to bed, Give me light to go to sleep. Or, by a slight transposition of the words m the original language, Mr. Goodrich has made them read, when rendered in free translation: Fire-fly ! fire-flv ! bright little thing, Light me to bed while my song I sing: Give me your light as you fly o'er my head, That I may merrily go to my bed; Give me vour light o'er the grass as yon creep, That I may joyfully go to my sleep. Come, little fire-fly, come, little beast. Come, and I'll make you to-morro a feast; Come, little candle that flies as 1 sing, Bright little fairy bug, night's little king; Come, and I'll dance as you guide me along; Come, and I'll pay you.

"fhe custom of placing tluck layers of daunel on the chest in the form of a cheat prelector is very untch to le deprecated, except m the ease of really delicate people. 5. The bath. This is a valuable adjunct to health, und should be taken during the summer months,and with the chill taken off the balance of the year. A warm soap ami water bath aliould lie taken at l>ed tunc once a week or once a fort night; or a Turkish bath may bo enjoy ed by those who can indulge in the luxury, care being takeu not to drive, but to walk briskly home afterwards, if the distance be not too great. 6. A mlm temjierament. Thoac who are so constituted, or who have sufficient com mand over themselves as to preserve thh- condition, have a valuable adjunct to health, as there is, perha|>, nothing so prejudicial in this age of over-work, both of brain and body, as the worries and anxieties of every day life. The easy going, even-tempered man, must digest Ills food Iwtter, and is leas affect ed ty the daily wear and tear of life than the passionate, impetuous and im patient man, and will live longer. 7. Rest and amusement. These are essen tials to health; hence the proverbs, "You cannot burn the candle at both ends," and "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy." The wunk of rest rnav endanger life; Jack's dullness will enii in sickness. Hygene Hlark Hills Miners. Mr. Witcher gives us au interesting account of the evidences recently found that men had gone iuto the Black Hills mines years ago, but never came out of them. Such accounts have been pub lished in the Black Hills papers, but never elsewhere. In Rutahpga Gulch, between Dead wood and Bald Mountain, au old tunnel has been discovered, thirty feet into the s-de of the gulch, evidently made year* ago. About forty miles above Dead wood an ancient stone cabin has been found, aud evidence that it was built by a party of brave adventur ers, who, sati*tied of the richness of the country, boldly penetrated into the wilderness, braving the danger from Indians and the severe winter*, and falling victims, moat probably, to the former. In other places broken picks have been dug up, from an evident bnrial of many year*. The remains of what was evidently a log barricade have leeu found, tiie log* and trees in the vicinity Wing filial with leaden ballets; while Whiud the barricades were the skeletons of two men with bullet holes in the skulls. These are believed to be the skeletons of white men who attempted to defend themselves from the Indians, but fell in the defence. Near the stone hot is a rook on which is chiseled " 1852," ami a portion of a memorandum book was found with the date 1852 at ill legible upon it, but with the other writ ing defaced and erased bv time. In excavating for a theatre at Dead wood a few weeks ago the digger* uu earthed a bottle of Pain Killer nix f<< t below the surface, and came u|M>n a place where there liad beeu a fire at the •<ame depth. Broken piekaxea and hatch eta were also found there. Old mines have been found, where claims had evi dently been worked for aotue time, and m aome places new mines suddenly run i at, giving evidence that parts of them had been worked by somebody in the distant past. There are trails of trees having leen blazed, and these blazes show evidence of having been made as long ago as the date above given, or thereabout*. Other striking proofs are fonnd of some civilized people having twenty or thirty vears ago known some thing of the valuable mineral deposits in that country, and having, "in the mad pursuit of wealth," gone there to unearth the treasures, and lost their lives in doing so: Certain it is that they never came out. Swift and sure the Indiana swooped down upon them, and left none of them to tell the tale, while the imjHTfeet relics anil marks of these expeditious alone pwint to the fact that theae men were there and that the Indi ans wiped them off the face of the earth, and for almost another generation kept the secrets of the hidden treasures lock ed np in the then almost impenetrable wilderness.— Sioux City (la.) Journal. Banishing Trouble. When disposed to grumble over things that camot lie helped, I am reminded of a neighbor of mine who once surprised me by throwing away an old, rnstv knife. It was one of a set ot silver plated knives, and hail been spoiled by carelessness. I asked her why she threw it away. "It is not worth while to be uncomfortable," she said, " Life is short, and I believe in being as happv as I can, anil will tie happy so far as I can-control circumstances. What's the use of keeping a rusty spoiled knife on the shelf, where it would cut me every time I looked at it by its unpleasant reference to my carelessness ? You see, acting on this theory I have thrown it away. I intend to pursue the same course in everything that troubles me. What I don't like I shall put away if I can; I will not eat unpalatable food nor associate with disagreeable people, and when I feel discouraged or blue I pnton my things and take a pleasant walk, or come back cheery myself, with a good ap call on some cheerful neighbor, and titc for tea. People who are unhappy, discontented, and who just endure life, don't know how much they miss for want of a little effort on their part to make themselves happy." Is not the lesson which these words embodies worth learning? "N'ot at Home." A sign on a honse on Croghan street, Detroit, informs the public that wash ing is done there, and it was quite nat ural that a mechanic working near-by should take a bundle under his arm and call there, and ask of the boy on the step: " BUD, is the washwoman m ?" "No, sir!" was the prompt reply — i " there's no washwoman here at all! ' "But that sign says washing done here," remarked the man. " Spose it does ?" remarked the boy !in a higher key—"spose it does? A ! lady may beoome the victim of nnfor j tunate circumstances to sncli an extent that she is willing to wasli and iron shirt* and sheets, but that doesn't make a washwoman of her, does it ?" " I thought it did?" said the man. " Hnmph ! If vou draw a buggy down to the shop to he repaired, does that ] ccake a horse of you ?" The man was silently turning away when the boy added: " If you want to find the lady of tin fortunate circumstance*, go round to the side door, but the washwoman isn't at home 1" — Frw Prttt.

There is no greater fallacy than the opinion held by many, particularly the young and strong and vigorous, that winter, esjiecially a sharp, frosty one, with plenty of snow, is the most healthy season of "the year. Very few persons seem to recogntte the fact that cold is the condition of death, and that, in Ixtth warm and cold climates, it is our uucou scions effort to maintain our texlily heat at a teuijicfrture of ninety-eight degrees that wears us out. To this temperature, called " blood heat," every cubic inch of oxygen that servos to vitalize onr blood must be raised, or life •-eases. Since in cold weather the maintenance of a sufficiently elevated bodily temjera ture becomes verv often a difficulty to onr great strength, the advent of a se vere winter is really niore to be dreaded than a |>estik-nce. The saying, " Heat is life—cold is death," has a striking illustration and confirmation in the reg ularly submitted reports of Dr. Russell to the Glasgow Sanitary Coramitee. The death rate rises and falls with the regu larity of the thermometer. So many degrees lees lnat so many more deaths, and vire reran.. In our climate it would probably be difficult to find a more frequent ean*e of aerious ailments than taking cold. What ever weak place wo have, whatever con stitutional disorder we are subject to, cold will surely discover. We take cold because our vitality is too Jow to ward off the effocta of the reduced temperature aronnd us. As a matter of the first int {Mirtance, then, to resist oold and the various derangements of the system con sequent, it is necessary by proper nutri tion to maintain onr natural animal heat; second, to retain this beat by a sufficient quantity of clothing; third, to regulate with care the temjieratitre of the air we breathe.

The roads leadiug ovar the hill of life are numerous; some people take the road which is bright aud gay—on which flowers of the richest lines are blooming —but they find, that before they are half-way, the flowers have faded, nil is bleak, they are wearied, and are glad to lie down aud die; others strive to go over the steep banks which load to for tnne and to fame, but the paths on which they walk are weak and rugged; some stop at a deep precipice over which they are unable to pimp; the foot hold of others give way, and they are hurled to the bottom; while only a few reach the coveted goal; hut the wise man chooses the road wlflch goes over the hill with a gradual slope, on which, here and there, are sweet flowers which cheer him on his way until he arrives at his journey's end, where dwell Peace, Happinees and Contentment.

The three ball* of the pawnbroker*' sign are part of the eoat-of-arins of Lombardy, from which the tlrst hanker* came.

Kcstortng the Appiireßtljr Drowned. Dr. Howard, a New York physician, during a recent visit to Laodoo, gave an exhibition, at the invitation of the Royal Humane Society, aud in their receiving houae in Hyde I'urk, of hi* method of restoring to anunatiou pcrwoue who are apparently dead from drowning. Dr. Howard illustrated his system by placing a mau representing a person apparently drownod iu two position*. The object of tlie first position was to pump and drain fluids from the lungs and stomach. This is done by placing the patient face downward over a hard roll of clothing, so that tlie pit of the stomach l* the highest jsiint, while the mouth i* the lowewt. Tlie operator up plements the pressure of his hands u|>n the back of the pwt-ttt ab >v the roll, if ueccKsary, with all the weight and force at his command. The seoottd ix out ion is for promoting artificial breathiug. The patient, whose clothing is ripped open trom the waist, in laid upon ilia back, and tlie pit of the stomach is made the highest |xiiut by a hard roll of clothing Iw-neath the biu-k, while the head is the lowest part. The wrists are cmssinl behind the hea*i; these are held down to the ground by a sec ond person with one hand, while aith the other the tougne is held forward by piece of dry rag. The greatest possible expansion of the chest is thus obtained. The opera- Aor, kueehng astride the ;iatieut, grasjm thi m ist compressible part of the chest, on eki'b side of the pit of the stomarh, and, using Ins kniMW as a pivot, throws forward, slowly and steadily, his whole weight until hi* month nearly touches the face of the (>atient. Then, by a tlual push, he throws himself liack to In* first erect kneeling poatore. Ity the sudden removal of the compressing force the elastic nlwi spnug luick to their original jxwntion, and by this bellows action the air rushes into and la forced out of the chest alternately,** in natural breathing. Success may attend this process in a few minutes, but hopes of n favorable result ought not to be given up uudt-r HU hour. A great tins method is its nneijualed simplicity. One of the most notable facts connected with caeca of acrid en tnl suffocation and ilrowning is the usual sbsence of medical aid at the critical momeut Tlie method, how ever, is one that can easily be under sUxxl by any one, and may lie earned •uto execution anywhere, with or with out a doctor Kmll?

At the time General Green retreated before Ijonl Rswdou from Ninety-Six, wlieu he had pa-*ed Hnuul river, he wrss verv desirous t > send an onie,r to Geii erai Sumter, who wa* on the Wateree, to join him, that they might attack Kawdou, who had divided hia force. Rut the general ontild find no man in that part of the State who was bold enongh to undertake so dangerons a mission. At length Emilv Geiger pteaented herself to General ("l recti, and proposed to act as his messenger, aud the general, Ixith surprised aud delighted, ohiaed with her proposal. He accordingly wrote a letter and delivered it. and at the same time oominnnioated the con tents of it verlially, lobe teld to Hnmter in caa.i of accidents. Emilv was young, but as to her person or adventures on the way, we have no further informa tion, except that she was mounted on horacliack. upon a side-saddle, and on t|ie second day of her jonmcv she was 4nt4*rw|t4*l by Lor*l lUwJon * ncjut*. Coming from the direction of Green s army, and not being able to tell an tin trutli without blushing, Emily wa* sus pected, and confined to n room; ami as the officer in oommand had the randestv not to search her at the time, he sent for an old matron as more fitting for that purpose, Emily was not wanting in ex pedient, and as soon as tho door was closed and the bustle a little subsided she ate up the letter piece by pieee. After a while tlie matron arrived, and upon searching carefully nothing was to be found of a suspicion* nature almut the prisoner, and she would disclose nothing. Suspicion being thus allayed, the officer commanding the acouta suf fered Ennly to depart for wlmro sho was bound; but she took a circuitous route to avoid further detention, and soon af ter struck in the road to Sumter's camp, where she arrived in safety, Emily told her adveutnre, and delivered Green's verbal message to Sumter, who, in con sequence, soon after joined the main array at Orangebnrgh. Emily Geiger afterwards married Mr. Therwitz, a rich planter on the Congaree. A Safe Man. That man who ia scrupulously polito ami respectful to all women in public, but habitually save* course manners ami vulgar language for his own wife and daughters, i n<> gentleman. He is only an impostor. The young man who oils his hair, puts sweet odors upon his pocket handkerchief, and bows with charming elegance to Miss Arabella Hpriggins and her lady friends, and goes home to sneer at his mother, ilisolmy her wishes, and treat her with familiar discourtesy, is a pinchbeck imitation only of a gentleman. Genuine good manners anil gentle breeding should be gin at home, As a rule the men in a community who are the most, trusted are the best men at home. When a man opens his ftint gate, nedy to meet his wife's face at the door radiant with pleasure, and hears the about from the eager children, " Papa is coming," it is Hafe as a rule to lend that man money. He is honest and will repay it if he can. SUMMARY* OF NEWS. Eaatera and Middle ■tataa. William A anil A. W. Andrew*. brother*, laft llitaliii fur Havre.
