HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17. 1866. THE PLAIN LOVER. I was a coquette. Many a lover's heart I had lacerated by refusing his offer of marriage, after I had lured him on to a declaration. My last vic tim's name was James Frazer. fie was a tall, awkward, homely, ungainly man, but his heart was as steel. I re spected him highly, and felt pained when I witnessed his anguish at my rejection of him. But the fact was, I had myself fallen in love with Captain Elliott, who had been unremitting in his devotion to me. Mr. Jas. Frazer warned me against Elliot, but I charged him with jealousy and took his warning as an insult. A few days afterwards Elliot and I were engaged, and my dream of ro mantic love seemed to he in a fair way of realization. I had a week of hap piness. Many have not so much in a lifetime. Many awake from the bright short dream to find themselves in a lifelong darkness, and bondage from which there is no escape. Thank God I was not so miserable as they ! My mother was a widow in good cir cumstances, but had very bad health. She was also of an easy, listless, credulous nature—hating trouble, and willing to take things just as they happen to present themselves. She therefore made no inquiries about Cap tain Elliot—but fondly believed that inasmuch as he was a Captain he must necessarily be a man of honor also, -ea= pocially as he had served in the Crim ea and India and won medals. His regiment was quartered in our neigh borhood, and he had the reputation of being one of the wealthiest, as he was certainly the handsomest officer in it. I remember well the day WO became engaged. He was on duty, but had managed to ride over to our house in his uniform, and while we were walk ing in the gardeit he made the tender avowal. I referred him to 'mamma;' he hastened to her—returning in a few minutes, and led me into her presence to receive - the assurance that the ma ternal consent had been readily given. My dear mother hated trouble, and moreovor_lovoa_m...io tada.cly; .so that she was well pleased to find a husband presenting himself in a form and manner apparently so eligible for her beloved and only daughter. Wel!, a week passed quite delight fully as I have said; and at the expira tion of this there might have been seen an equestrian party winding through our old Devonshire woods and quiet country iNds.' Elliot and I led the cavalcade. I rode my own beauti ful brown Bess. Captain Elliot was mounted on a handsome black horse that had been sent from London.— Following us was a bevy of merry girls and their cavaliers; and among them was tall, awkward and silent Jas. Frazer. his pre-seri - Co had marred all the pleasure of my ride, and I was glad to be in advance of them all that I might not see him. And as we rode on through the woods, and I listened, well pleased, to the low but animated words of the gallant Elliot, who wished himself a knight and me a fair layde of the old en time that he might go forth to do battle and compel all men to recognize the claims of his peerless love. Very eloquent he spoke of the inspiration of love, of the bravo deeds and perilous exploits it had prompted, wishing again and again that. be might pro claim and maintain his love before the world. It pleased me to listen to this and to believe it sincere, though I surely had no wish to put my lover to such a test. A shot suddenly rang through the woods and a wounded bird, darting past, fluttered and fell at the feet of brown Bess. With a bound and a spring that nearly unseated me, she was off. Struggling to retain my seat, I had no power to check her, and even as she now, the fear and madness of the moment grew upon her. I could only cling breathlessly to the mane and bridle, and wonder helplessly where this mad gallop was to end. Slio swerved from a passing wagon, and turned into a path that led to the riv er. In the sudden movement the reins bud been torn from my hands and I could not regain them. I clung to the mane and closed my eyes, that I might not behold the fate that await ed me. How sweet was life in those precious moments that I thought my last. How all its affections, its last crowning love rose up before me. I thought of the pang that would rend Elliot's heart as he saw me lying, man gled and dead; and the thought would come if he were pursuing and trying to save me; even, as he had said, at the risk of life and limb; I remembered no more. I felt a sudden shock, fearful rushing through the air, and kr.opw no mere until days -PERSEVERE.- afterward, I woke to a faint, weak semblance of life in my chamber' at home. I never saw Captain Elliot again. The last words I ever hoard from his lips were those of a knightly daring. The last action of his life in connection with mine, was to follow in the train of frightened youths who rode after me, to contemplate the dis aster from afar, and as soon as he saw me lifted from the shallow bed of the river, into which I had been throVrn when my frightened horse stopped suddenly on its banks, to ride hastily off'. That evening ho sent to make in: quiries and learning that I was severe ly, but it Was hdpod not fatally, in jured, he thenceforth - contented him self with such tidings of ray condition and improvement as could bo gained from mere rumor. • At last it was known that I would never recover entirely from the effects of my injury, and that very day Cap tarn Elliott departed suddenly from the neighborhood. Ho made no at tempt to see me, nor sent me any fare well. When I was once more abroad, beginning, though with much unal loyed bitterness, to learn the lesson of patience and resignation that awaited me, I received a letter from liim, in which he merely said that be presum ed my own judgment had taught me, that in my altered circumstances, our engagement must come to an end, but to satisfy his own sense of honor honor 0 he wrote to say while enter taining the highest respect for me ho desired a formal renunciation of my claim. Writing on the bottom of this letter, "Let it be as you wish," I re turned it to him at once, and thus end ed my brief dream of a romantic wed ding. I heard ere this of Elliot's cowardly, unmanly conduct on that day, Mkt now I first bethought the to inquire who had rescued me from that immi nent death. And I lebrned that Jas. Frazer, his arm already broken by the jerk with which brown Bess tore away from him as he caught at her bridle, had ridden after me, and been the first to lift me from the water. Many -tizzies Uttliy'bc , eizatio-4.iui-Hos-oont,--ovil ing me; his had been the hand that sent the rarc flowers that had decked my room ; his were lips that breathed words of comfort and hope to my poor mother; his were the books that I read during the days of convalescence; and his, now, the arm that supported me, ns slowly and painfully I paced the garden walks. I have been Ids wife for many a year. I have forgotten that he is not hand some—or rather be is beautiful to me, because I see his grand and loving spi rit shihing through his plain features and animating his awkward figure. I have long since laid aside, as utterly untenable, my theory that beautiful spirits dwell only in lovely bodies. It may be it providential compensation that, in denying physical perfection, .org the soul is not drawrfed or marred by petty vanity or love of the world's praise. tA'A soldier came borne from the war with an arm so badly Wounded that the sucgoon insisted that amputa tion was the only thing that could be thought of. But the soldier resisted, and was nursed by the girl he loved, whom he married. She gave to him, or his wounded arm, all her thoughts and care, and he recovered. In duo time, however, she gave birth to a child, and this child bad one developed arm, but the other was a stump, simi lar to the one which the poor wife's mind was impressed with at the time the surgeons were ,talking of cutting off her husband's. Amputation could not have produced a more beautiful stump, and what is more, the scar of the bullet hole so visible on the father's arm, was as visible on the child's arm at the base of the stump as if really in flicted by a ball. .11--Z - The way words are divided when set to music sometimes produces a rather ludicrous effect. A stranger was once surprised on hearing a con• gregation, mostly of women crying out: ''Oh for a man Oh for a man Oh for a lllall—sion in the skies." While on another occasion a choir sang to the beet of their ability : "We'll catch tho flee! We'll catch the flee! We'll catch the flee—ling hours!

On a late trip of the steamer Ex-. press from Nashville, she was detain ed several hours by fog. Captain McComas, anxious to got along, did not stop his boat, but kept her cau tiously moving forward, having both eyes wide open for an obstacle. Pass ing the stern of the boat to make an observation, ho was met by a passen ger, who said to him— " Captain, why don't your drive off the fog ?" "Just the thing I should like to have you tell me how to do." "Como down into the oabin,and I'll tell you how an old German friend of mine once did it." In a few minutes afterwards they were comfortably seated in the cabin when the passenger commenced by saying, "I shall expect you to believe it, and of course try my experiment." "In the rich valley of the Mohawk, there is a quiet little village called Sparker's Basin. Not many years ago and before there was such a thing as a railroad in tho State of New York, the veritable Mr. Sparker, the patri arch and founder of Sparker's Basin, was keeping a tavern a mile or so from the village, upon the thoroughfare known as Johnstown road. Sparker's as it is generally called, was in early times the great rendezvous for the Si° ral-rircm, %1-hi n Albany with their wheat, and of the Jefferson and Lewis county drovers: Now and then a Now York merchant on his trip to the northern settlements was to be seen before the great wood fire in Sparker's tavern. This class of travelers were held in much respect by old Sparker, and the honest Dutch farmers on the river. One of this class accosted the old man on the porch ono foggy morning "Mr. Sparker, do you have much of this sort of weather down here in the valley ?" "Oh, gees, put we ton't mind it, Mr. Stewart, I has a vay of triving it off. "Ish no matter at (Ash fug." "How's that, Mr. ,Sparker, I should like to knOWilic processs of - driving - Off a fog." "Well, 1 will tell you. I takes a tram and goes out and foods to pigs, and if' to fog don't go off putty soon, I takes another dram, and den I goes out and fedders to cattle, and if to fog aint gone . py tis time I takes another dram, and den I goes out 'and chops wood like dupder, and if to fog tont go py Lis time, I takes an oder tram, and so on Mr. Stewart, rkeeps a (loin' tilt to fog all goes away." "Well, upon my word, Mr. Sparker, this is a novel mode of getting clear of a fog. How many drams did you over take of a morning before you succee ded in driving off the fog ?" "Let me see, about two years ago, 1 tink I had to take about twenty drams but 2t was a tam foggy morning." gex_A Detriot paper is sponsor for the following: "About a year ago one of our business men visited New York city, and while there ordered a half dozen cartes de visite of himself, which be distributed among his friends in that place. A few days ago he was surprised to find ono of these "counter feit resemblances" in possession of the family cook.

The London Correspondent of the Now Orleans Delta writes the follow ing to that paper : ' A good sell is related of a wealthy banker here, who is very good-natured, but inclined to be a trifle fast in his views of life. Ile had a favorite clerk, a young man of about twenty.one and remarkably handsome, modest and highly intellectual. For those quali ties ho was liked by every one, and the banker did not escape the general feel ing of good will. He was as poor as his salary, and had no connections to push him after fortunes, and so, like most English clerks, he would rise to ono hundred and twenty pounds a year, go on for eight years at ten pounds a year rise, and marry when he gets two hundred pounds a year, henceforth to vegetate and find that the additional ton pounds a year rise only kept pace with the additional babes in the household. The banker, on Sunday afternoon, when no one was expected, would oc casionally ask the young man to visit his young family at his suburban villa; as the conversation of the young man was so correct and clover, it could not but be of advantage to his children. This was a mistake, evidently, but it was a good natured error, and we can only wish, all of us, that there were more committed. I have not men daughter of nineteen, but that may al ways be understood in any English family that has known wedded life long enough. But there were, of course, no attentions on the part of the young man other than extremely dolivate, reserved and proper. This will most always be the case with English youth, as Americans well know. Don't "bone after this. The youth, in spite of two or three, days' invitation to the bank er's country seat, to breathe fresh air and clear his lungs of London smoke, was evidently very ill, and though he declared himself well and robust, the banker shook his head. "1 cannot make out what is the matter with my young clerk," said the banker to a confrere who was in his back office with him, after the youth had just brought in some papers• "Well, you arc green, I should say, for a man of your time of life and ex-. perionee," said banker number trio. "Don't you see what's the matter ? he's in love ?" "In love ! bah. He is modesty and propriety itself." "I toll you it is a fact, and with : a rich old fellow's daughter who would no more think of having him for a son in-law than you would, yourself?' "Oh, the haughty old fool; my clerk is as good as his daughter,apd be bang ed to him. Thank you for the hint." As soon as banker number two had gone, tho_clerk_was called in. "So sii•; you are iii — levo,and Piing away for the object of your affection— that's the secret, is it? Why did you not tell me before, - sir ?" The youth was silent. "Well, my boy, I pity yon, but I will give you a word of advice. lithe daughter is fair, she is worth making a risk for. Look here; there aro £5OO and two month's of leave of absence. Run away with the girl. Bah, don't look so stupid. I did the same before you, and it didn't hurt me." The clerk fell on his marrow bones, and was upon the point of making a clean breast of it, when the old man rose and left precipitately, to avoid a scene. The young man considered and acted, and the consequence was that the next day week there was no young daughter at the dinner table of the banker at the country house. The house was in consternation, and a search made for her in all direetioni. A note, however, was found on her dressing table, conveying the custo mary prayer of forgiveness, and one enclosed from the young clerk stating that believing the banker bad meant , to give him a hint in regard to his daughter, and was notable to - give his public consent owing to appearan ces, he had acted on the suggestion, and that ere his "father-in-law" bad received the letter he would be his son-in-law. This pill was a bitter one, and the joke a terrible one against him; so it was bushed up and has only got to the ears of the purveyors of scandal and to your correspondent, who records it as a , trait of London life. lier .

In one match factory in Western , New York, 720,000 feet of pine wood' l of the best quality, is annually cut up into matches, and 400,000 feet of basi , _ wood for cases. 400 barrels of sulphur and 9,000 pounds of phosphorous are annually.used. 500 pounds of paper per day are used to make the light small boxes, for holding the matches, and four . tons of paste-board per week for the larger boxes. Sixty-six pounds of flour per day are used for paste, and the penny stamps of internal revenue amount to the sum of 31,440 per day. 300 hands are employed at the works which are run night and day. - There are four machines in use for cutting, dipping and delivering match es. The two•inch pine plank is sawed up the length of the match. These go into the machine for cutting, when at every stroke twelve matches are cut, and, by the succeeding stroke, pshed into slats, arranged on a double chain 250 feet long, which carries them to the sulphur vat and from thence to the phosphorus vat, and thus across the chain and back, returning them at a point just in front of the cutting ma chine, and where they are delivered in their natural order, and are gathered up by the boy into trays and sent to the packing room. Thus 1000 gross, or 144,000 small boxes of matches are king the small, thin paper boxes; and . their covers, are quite• as wonderful and ingeniously contrived as those, that make the matches. A long ro of paper; as wide as the box is long, revolves on a wheel, one end being in the machine. It first passes through rollers, Where the printing is done; from thence to the paste boxes, where the sides and ends only are pasted; from thence to the folding apparatus, where the ends are nicely folded, and the whole box is pasted together and drops into a basket. A similar machine is itt. work at the covers, and thus 144,000 boxes per day are manufactured. CURIOSITIES OF WATER.--Water ex ists around us to an extent and under conditions which escape the notice of cursory observers. When the dyer buys of the dry salter, one hundred pounds each of alum, carbonate of soda, and doap,ho obtains in exchange for his money no less than forty-five pounds of water in the first lot, sixty four in the second, and a valuable quan tity, some times amounting to seventy three and a half pounds, in the third. Even the transparent air wa . breathe contains, in ordinary, weather, about five grains of water diffused through each cubic foot of its bulk, and this rarified water no more wets the air than the solidified water wets the limo or opal in which it is absorbed. Of a plaster of Paris statute weighing five leund_s more than ono load ound is solidified water. Even t 772: prec opal is but a mass of flint and water, combined in the proportion of nine grains of the earthly ingredient to one of the fluid. Of an acre of clay land to a foot deep, weighing about one thousand two hundred tons, at least four hundred tons are water; and even of the great mountain chains with which the globe is ribbed, many mil. lions of tons are water soldified into earth. SAFETY mom THUNDER STORMS .-- The safest situation during a thunder storm is the basement; for when a per son is below the surface of the earth,tho lightning must strike it before it can reach him, and will, in all probability be expended in it. Dr. Franklin ad vised persons apprehensive of lightning to sit in the middle of a room, not un der a metal lustre, or any conductor,. and to lay their feet upon another chair. It will be safer, he said, to lay two or three beds or mattresses in the middle of the room, and folding them double,to place chairs upon them. Per sons in the field prefer open parts to the vicinity of trees, etc. The distance. of a thunder storm, and consequently the danger, is easily estimated. As light ,travols at the rate of 192,000 miles in a second, its effects may be considered instantaneous within any moderate distance; Sound, on the eon trary, is transmitted only at the rate ! of 1,142 feet, or about 380 yards in a second. By accurately observing,theret fore, the time that intervenes between the flash and , the noise of thunder which follows it, a very near calcula-, tion may be made of its distance, and there is no bettor rneans of removing apprehensions.
