It is the habit of many persons to take a look under the bed before retir ing for the night. Mrs. Evergreen, my beloved wife, indulges, if indulgence it can be called, in this peculiar practice. Ido not object to it the least so long as she does not enforce the perform ance upon myself, but when, as is sometimes the case, she forgets it until she has put out the light and enscon ced herselfunder the comforter, then it is hard that I, who am not troubled with nervous apprehensiveness, should have to get out in the cold and do it for her. I have often remarked to Mrs. Evergreen, when I have seen her pry ing under the bed, that it was a silly habit, and that the sooner she gave it up the better. To this gentle admoni tion my better half invariably rejoins : "La, .6vergreen ! What harm does it do ? It's a kind of mitl44ction to know thtit nobody's nuclei. there. And then I don't think of such a horrible thing after I'm in bed." "fthink, my dear, you mightjust as well pursue your investigation fur ther and look into the bureau drawers and the clothes basket I" "Evergreen," she will rejoin, "don't mention the idea, or I shall certainly do so. Come to think of it,a man could very easily get into the clothes bass km !" "Certainly he could, my dear, quite as easily as Falstaff. You should cer tainly include the clothes basket, and by-the-by, there's the chimney; who !, not look up that as well t" "Now, Evergreen, you're laughing at me. But I can't leave off the habit, and I never will. It's a comfort for me to know that there's nothing wrong about it. and I don't see why you should deprive me of it." So under the bed goes the candle, and no signs of humanity being dis covered. Mrs. Evergreen is able to re pose in•peaco. But as already obser ved, this precautionary act is some times forgotten, and I am myself obli ged to rise, light the lamp, and report. I've done it rather more frequently of late than is agreeable, and have inti mated as much to Mrs. E. She says : "Very well, Evergreen, I'll do it myself." But this procedure is almost equally as bad, for she invariably lets the cold in on me both in getting out and get ting in. If it were not for increasing this mental idiosoynoersy on the part of Mrs. Evergreen, by giving her some good reason to apprehend danger, I should relate to her what .I am about to lay before the reader. In this narra tion, therefore, I ask the public most particularly to bear in mind that Mrs. Evergreen is of a sensitive naturo,rath er apprehensive and slightly supersti tious, and that what I have to say, must under no circumstances, bo told again. If for two-and-twenty years (that is the period of our wedded life, and happy years they have been)—if, I say, I have for this long period re frained from imparting the matter to the beloved sharer of my joys and par taker of my sorrows, surely the public (which, as wo know, always does keep a secret) will keep mine. All young men, I suppose, have love affairs before they eventually fix their affections on the ono who is to bless their lot in life. I know that I had, and I don't regret it. Regret it ? far from it. Mrs. Evergreen ie not pres ent, and therefore I have no hesitation in saying that if I had my life to live over again I'd like to go through with the same sentimental experience, par ticularly if it was to be succeeded by again leading to the hymenial altar the present Mrs. Evergreen. I was not bad-looking when I was in my twenties. 1 think I may go furth er, and confidentially say that "Gus Evergreen" was a decided favorite among the girls of Oaks Ville, and I re ally believe that I could have had any of them "for the asking." As I before remarked, Mrs. Evergreen is not preg ent, and I indulge my thoughts some what more freely than would other. wise be the case. Idon't think that I car ed particularly for any of the Oaksville girls, however and I might have kept my heart, whole this day if it had not been for the circumstances which I am about to relate. Fred Evans, who had been my chum at school, came to make me a visit at, Oaksvillo for "a day or two," as he said, when ho came ; but ho made it a week or two easily enough after I'd taken him about a little among the "young ladies." When that time had expired Fred said he really must go,as ho didn't know what his father and mother would think of his long, ab sence; but it ended in his relieving their anxiety by a letter and sending for his trunks. I knew how the matter was perfectly well, and that Belle Bronson had bewitched him out of his five senses. Fred used to put it on to the "country air and the quiet which was benefiting his health. &c.," but it was no use trying- to deceive me, and I told him so. Then Ile owned up frank ly, and I promised to help him all I could, if ho required any help in the prosecution of his suit. I never thought Belle a flirt, or that she would willing ly distress any human being ; but she had way of looking into one's eyes as it to captivate them for her mere per sonal amusement. At any rate she had a larger share of beaux than the other girls, hut all their attentions came to nothing. I feared it might be so with Fred Evans and warned him accordingly, but Fred said he'd "have her if he tried all his life;" that "without her, life was naught to him ;" that "she was the only living being who had over awak ened a real emotion in his breast," &c., &c. After that I said no more, but closely observed the lovers, and soon came to the conclusion that Fred was by no means disagreeable to her. Things went on in this way without any definite results until Fred received a sudden summons home on account of his mother's illness. When he came back to renew his visit he insisted up on staying at the Oaksvillo Hotel rath er than wear out his welcome at our house, and finding remonstrances un availing, there he wont. The landlord (honest old Downsbury—l wonder if ho yet lives) gave Fred, at my sugges tion, his best bed room, "No 20"—I am particular in mentioning the num ber. "Ho shall have No. 20," said Downsbury. "Any friend of yours, Master Augustus, shall have the best I have to give as long's I'm landlord." It was a pleasant room, looking out on the distant hills and the beautiful winding branch of the Black water ; but what cared Fred for scenery ? He was in the hands of tho blind g od, and could not Bee even as far as :113 nose, except in the direction of Belle's • cot tage. I used GO go over to - Fred's room and smoke my cigar, while .ho, poor wretch, expatiated on his sufferings, doubts, and solicitudes. Did she love him ? that was the question which dis turbed every moment of his existence, and to which, with the closest reason ing, he could not bring himself a satis factory reply. Sometimes he thought a word or a sign settled the point be yond a doubt in his favor, and at oth ers he faucied ho read a coolness and indifference in her eyes. In this condi tion of uncertainty he dared not to press the question lest a hasty stop might bring him to grief. At Fred's earnest solicitation I pro mised to sound Belle as to her senti monts, if a favorable opportunity pre sented itself, or at any rate to let her know, in an indirect way, that Fred was languishing in distress on her ac count, and thus give her no excuse for unnecessarily- prolonging his mis ery. It so happened, however, that my services were not called into re quisition. Belle Bronson, because of the sudden arrival at, her house of some country cousins, was obliged to give up her room—and to occupy for a sin , gle night a room at the hotel. We would cheerfully have offered her guests accomodations at our house,but we were in the same predicament. An agricultural fair in the village bad brought many strangers to the and our guests were so numerous that I had given up my room to two of them, and bad intended asking Fred Evans to let two pass • the night with him. For this purpose I wont to the hotel at a late hour, and proceeded at once to Fred's room, but to my surprise found DO one there. I did not even notice that the trunk was gone, or suspect the fact, which afterwards be came apparent, that "to oblige some lady guest for this night only," as the landlord expressed it, Fred had con sented to give up "No. 20" and occupy a small room in the rear of the build ing. The gas being turned up, I took a book to await his return, and hearing at last what appeared to be steps ap proaching the room, And supposing it to be Fred, in a momentary impulse to play a joke on him, I slipped tinder the bed, a largo and high one, intending to imitate a cat (of which animal I know he had a detestation) as soon as he en tered the room. The door opened, and I was on the point of indulging in my ventriloquical faculty by giving a long-drawn nueow, when from my hid ing place I beheld Bello Bronson take possession of the apartment: My astonishment was so great, anti the sense of mortification so intense, that I did not, as I should have done, make myself immediately known to her. Thus the opportunity for dis covery and explanation was 105t.9 dared not move a hair, but hoped sin cerely that some excuse might take her out of the room for a moment, and so facilitate my escape. Sho, how ever, locked the door, removed the key, and, as I know by the sound. prepared to retire. Finally .sho kneeled down beside the bed, and clasping her hands and bowing her head (so fearfully near to mine that I could hear the soft words in my very ear), sho offered up her evening praYes in a manner so full of feeling, and with such sweet accents of womanly tenderness and devotion, that I felt as if she was an angel bend ing over the vilest of mortals. That prayer wont to my heart; but one por tion went through it and held it. cap. tive. Never »ball I forget my feelings of surprise and deep emotion when I 11"-1/4144C' 2.41. / /// / r •-• • - • -.. ak• • is"- • *<4.-4 HUNTINGDON, PA„ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER. 28. 1866 ~~.:~ `•~ ~>.. -PERSEVERE.- hoard her utter thosowords: "Bless my dear mother, sisters, and friends; bless all around me, and, 0 God bless him I love, Augustus Evergreen, and shower down thy mercies over him. Amen." "Ah, Augustus," said my divinity to herself, as she rose from her devotion al attitude, "if you but knew that I named your very name in my prayers, you would be less indifferent to me!" If I breathed short before, after this my breath seemed to desert me en tirely, and I verily thought that the beating of my heart would betray me. Belle, pure as an angel to mo then, and white as a snow flake, proceeded to turn off the g'as and get into bed. I felt her soft pressure over my head, and shrunk closer and closer to the hard floor upon which I was extended. What thoughts rushed through my brain ! above me lay a young unso phisticated girl wholly unconscious that the one she loved lay so closely to her, and who had for the first time been made aware of her interest in him, by hearing words which she sup posed went only to Heaven I I knew then that the night must pass away, and the morning come, and that Belle must first leave the apartment before I could venture to change even my position. Belle had lain perfectly motionless for several minutes and was, I flattered myself, losing herself in sleep, when suddenly she exclaimed to herself, "There—l haven't looked under the bed." A horror ran through me; all is lost; what should Ido ? Belle, rose And I heard her feeling for the matches. She struck_ ono _and was moving to ward the gas-light, when the lucifer wont out, leaving all darkness again. Blessed relief; but how brief! Again I heard her feeling fbr the matches and trying to light one after another, as they Wiled to ignite; then an "Oh dear, there are no morel" escaped from her lips. "Safe 1 safe 1" whispered my soul to me, and I thanked God in silence for my deliverance. Bel!e groped back to the bud, but did not immedi ately get in; she stooped and lifted the curtains which hung around the bottom and cautiously passed her arm under and around us far as it could reach. I almost felt her fingers graze my face as I held myself fearfully and silently back against the wall, too far, just too far for her reach. Apparently satisfied that no danger was near her, she lay down in the bed again, and 1 counted her respiration° till she was lost in slumber. As for myself,- sloop was utterly out of the question. I never was so wide awake in my life. How I lay upon that hard carpet and thought the night out!—thought of her, and her love for me, thought of myself and my love fur her. Yes, I was convinced from that moment that the hand of destiny was in it, and that a benign and all-wise Providence had seen fit in this extra ordinary way to open my eyes to the path of happiness and peace. With the morning light fresh fears came upon me lest my unconscious room-mato might yet peer beneath the bed for robbers before she left the room, but my fears were groundless. She rose and. dressed expeditiously, for she was to join her cousins at au early breakfast, and she had overslept herself. When at last she took the key, unlocked the door and departed, I no time in slipping out of my shameful place of concealment and escaping from the hotel. On the stairs, I met Fred coming out of his room, who exclaimed : "Why, what's the matter with you, old fellow! You look like the last days of an ill-spent li(u• And your coat, too—why it's all over feathers and dust. Where have you been?" "Why, I slept out last night; that's all. Our house is tall, and so I had to find quarters elsewhere. I'm just go ing home to dress." "I should say so decidedly. I see it all, old fellow ! You've been on a lark, and bad to put up in the watch house; come now, own up and tell us all about it." "No lark at all, Fred; nothing of the kind, I assure you." "Well, if not a lark, what kind of a bird was it ? From the looks of the feathers I should say it was a goose." "You're the goose, Fred. B ut seri. ously, I've a word to say to you of a most important, nature. Be a man, Prod, and make up your mind to hear something excessively disagreeable. It must be told you sooner or later, and I may as well tell it now." "Good Heavens, Gus! how earnest you look at me; you don't mean to say that—that anything has happened to Belle Bronson'" "Don't mention her name again, Fred, or think of her any more, Ihr she'll never be anything to you. 1 have it from one who knows all about it, that she has long been attached to somebody else, and that somebody else means to marry her. There's no mistake abmt it; 80 bear up and try your lurk elsewhere." But Fred Evans was not to be dis couraged by mere hearsay. That very day ho went to see Belle, determined to know his fate from her own lips. Soon after he left Oakville, and I did not see him for several years, when, meeting him in town one day, I insis ted on bringing home with me and presenting him to his old flame, Belle Bronson—the present Mrs. Evergreen. "Ali, Gus !" said lie, after dinner, when my wife and the little Evergreens had left us to ourselves—"Ab Gus, you served me a shabby trick when you allowed mo to lose my heart to the girl you were all along intending to marry yourself—a -very shabby trick, ono of which I never suspected your , So I had to tell him (in Strict confi dence, of course, as I tell you, reader,) all about the bedroom affair at the Oakville Hotel, and the love that grew out of it., ..yec " e , I 4. ' - .1-,T• - ILA lif I \ r .....:..... , Popular Fallacies. The following is from Hall's Journal of Health: That warm air must be impure, and that, consequently, it is hurtful,to sleep in a comparatively warm room. A warm one is as easily ventilated as-a cool ono. The warm air of a close vehicle is less injmtious, be it ever so foul from crowding, than to ride and sit still and feel uncomfor tably cold for an hour. The worst that can happen from a crowded con veyance is a fainting spell; while, from sitting even less than an hour in a still, chilly atmosphere, has induced attacks of pneumonia, that is, inflammation of the lungs, which often prove fatal in three or four days. It is always posi tively injurious to sleep in a close room where water freezes, because such a degree of cold causes the negatively poisonous carbonic acid gas of a sleep ing room to settle near the floor, whore it is breathed and rebreathed by the sleeper, and is capable of producing typhoid feVerii in a few hours. Renee there is no advantage, and always dan• ger, especially to weak persons, in sleeping in an atmosphere cooler than the freezing point. That it is necessary to Om proper and efficient ventilation of a room, even in warm weather, that a window or door should be left open; this is al ways hazardous to the sick and conva lescont. Quite as safe a plan of venti lation, and as efficient, is to keep a lamp or a small fire burning in the fro , place. This creates a draft, and car ries bad and gases up the chimney. That out-door exercise before break- I fast is healthful. It is never so. And from the very nature of things, is hurtful, especially to persons of poor . health; although the very vigorous may practice it with impunity. In winter the body is easily chilled thro' and through unless the stomach has been fortified with agood warm break , fast, and in warm weather miasmatic and malarious gases and emanations act upon the empty and weak stomach in a way to vitiate the circulation and induce foyer and ague, diarrhoea, and dysentery. Entire families, who have arranged to cat breakfast before leav ing the house, and to take supper be fore sundown, have: had a complete exemption from fever and ague, while the whole community around them was suffering from it, from having no , lecied these precautions. That whatever lessens a cough, is "good" for it, and, if pet severed in, will cure it. On the contrary, all coughs are soonest cured by promoting and increasing thorn; because nature en deavors by the cough to help bring up the phleg,rn and yellow matter which is in the lungs, as the lungs cannot heal while that matter is there. And as it cannot be *got rid of without coughing, the more coughing there is, the sooner it is got rid of—the sooner are the lungs cleared out for the fuller and freer reception of pure air, which is their natural food. The only reme dies which can do any good in coughs aro such as loosen the phlegm, and thus less cough is required to bring it up. These remedies are warmth, out door exercise, and anything which slightly nauseates. THANKSGIVING DAY, Proclamation of Governor Curtin.

DEDICATED IN AN ESPECIAL MANNER TO ALL NEWSPAPER READERS That apparitions do not always wan der without sufficient cause, is proved by the well attested fact which we give below : Last Tuesday fortnight, as Mrs.—; a lady of rather literary taste and stu dious habit, sat reading in the- draw ing room, the clock on the mantle-piece struck twelve; as the last stroke rever berated through the apartments the door was flung wide open ! in the act of raising her head to repel the intru sion (tinning for) of. her servant, her eye rested on the form of her late hus=. band She screamed and fell senseless on the carpet 1 This brought up such members of the family as had not re tired to rest; restoratives were admin istered, and when Mrs. —, had re gained her suspended facultiee, and being a woman of strong mind and highly cultivated intellect, she felt dis posed to consider the whole distress she had undergone as thoreault of cer tain associations between the melan °holy tale she had been pursuing and her late logs, operating on a partially deranged nervous system. She how eVer, considered it advisable that her maid servant should repose in her chamber, lest any return of what she considered a nervous affection should distress herself and alarm the family. Last Tuesday night, feelid,g stronger and in better spirits than she had been for several months past, Mrs. dis pensed with the presence of her atten dant, retiring alone to her chamber, went to bed a little befbre ton o'clock. Exactly as the clock struck twelve she was awakened from sleep, and dis• tinctly beheld the apparition she had before aeon, advancing from the table, on which stood her night lamp, till it stood opposite to and drew aside the curtains of her bed. She describes her very blood retreating with icy chill ness to her heart trem every vein. The countenance of her beloved in life wore not its benevolent aspect; the eyes once beaming with affection, were now filled with stern regard on the trembling, halfdissolved being, who, with the courage of description, thus adjured him, "Charles! dear Charles why are you come again '?» "Jessie," slowly and solemnly aspi rated the shadowy form, waving in his hand a small roll of writing paper, "Jessie, pay my newspaper accounts and let me rest in peace I" MOZART'S REQUIEM.—Those of you who have learned to play on the piano, may know that Mozart composed some of the most beautiful pieces,but did you ever hoar of his last? For weeks he had been engaged in its composition; at length every note was harmonious,and the gratitfied musician sank back on his cushion in a sweet reverie. The light footstep of his daughter enter ing the room aroused him. "Emilie," be called, "sit down and play for mo my requiem; it is my own requiem." "0, do not say that, my father." an swered the affectionate girl, while the quick tears sprang to her eyes at the thought of lossing her beloved father:" "Play, my child," ho repeated, "and sing the hymn your mother used to love so well." Emilie sat down to the instrument, and began a sad prelude ; tho father lay with closed eyes, listening. 'Soon the heavenly music filled the soul of the young girl with holy aspirations, and the faith and hope expressed in the hymn seemed all her Own j• the heavy weight of •sadness gradually disappeared, and she sang -like an angel. When the piece was finished, she sat for a moment in silence, and then turned to meet her father's ac customed glance of sympathy. , His eyes were closed,and looking intently, she perceived that ho lay motionless. With a cry of terror, she sprang to his side, and there she fell senseless; :for the first glance told that her father was dead. She had sung his soul to heaven.—Caildr•an's Friend. A FEW WORDS ON SQUEEZINO.- While we are growing very sensible indeed in the matter of dress, as far as boots, Balmoral skirts, warm stockings and high necks, we are degenerating in some other matters quite as impor tant. The corset is now a necessary part of a woman's wardrobe; and, alas! when a woman does begin to wear corsets, she will wear them too. small, and will tug at the laces till her breath becomes short, and feels it necessary to retrain from anything like it com fortable meal. We say nothing against a well shaped corset worn loose, but there lies the difficulty. A loose cor set injures the appearance of the figure instead of improving it, and people wear corsets that they may have small waists. All we can say is, do not squeeze, whatever you do; you may have small waists, but you are expos ing yourself to a dozen misfortunes which are worse than a large waist.— First, you'll .surely have dyspepsia, and grow yellow and cross and unhap py ; secondly, your hands will grow red; thirdly, your nose ; fourthly, you w 11 be unable to walk a mile at once; fifthly, dinner:will he a misery; sixth ly, yo ‘ ji i r shoulder blades will increase in size. and altitude; seventhly, your eyes will grow weak;' eig - lithly, you will break at thirty or thereabout., rind be a sickly old woman from that time fbrth.

Trying to do too much is a common error into which the farmer often falls. His great eagerness in striving to bo rich is doubtless the cause of this er ror. He is ambitious, and forms plans on a larger scale, and often, perhaps; without counting the cost.:Ho buys a largo farm, and wants to be called a "large farmer," and often without un derstanding or considering the true el ements that constitute a real farmer. Ho fancies the greatness of that pro fession, as is too often the common es. thnato, to be in proportion to the num ber of acres, not to say cultivated, but embraced within the boundaries of his domain. A large farm does not necessarily make a man rich, contented:orl happy, but, on the contrary, the reverse, un less well tilled, when his labor is .re warded by fair success in the various departments in Which ho is engaged. To realize a full benefit of his profes sion, a farmer must adopt. a thorough system of culture. Success.always de pends upon the manner in which ho prepares his ground, plants his' "seeds, and rears his stock. ' Neither of these departments will take care of them selves. The soil may be rich, but it needs culture. His seeds may be sown, but it should be in due time, and always on soil well prepared and Oa suitable quality for the production of tho crops required; and his stock must be constantly cared for. The farmer's better judgment must bo constantly exercised in keeping up this system of reciprocal benefits. The very corner stone of the whole system of farming is to do what'yoti do 'thoroughly. Nature will not be cheated, and never gives full returns to the half-way work - that is practiced by many farmers. If the. land has been worn, the extent of that ekhhue= tion and the requirements 'Must first be considered; and when ascertained, the full measure of those requirements must be given to bring out good re turns. And 'with the labor—two men eau.: not suitably till one hundred acres of land, when the labor of two men, and perhaps, four might be profitably em- ployed on seventy-five acres. This is the great error in farming. Two men strive to do what four can hardly de', and thus hundreds of acres are but half tilled and produce but half crops. The land is run over till worn out, and made to sustain year after year the unnatural tax, till its energies are ex hausted, and will remain so till the first elements of its powers are return ed. This is especially the case in ma ny of the Western and Southern States. The great boast of the West is largo farms and large fields of grain; plow, sow and roap, is the business of the western farmers; drawing out the very life of the soil and sending it away in the heavy exports that are constantly going onward, and returning but very little to the soil to make itproductive. The light that is being spread abroad on this subject is beginning to correct this practice to some extent. When tillers of the soil understand their true interests, they will cultivate no more land than they can do well. Fifty acres of land for tillage, brought to a high state Of'cultivation; pay better than ond•hundred run . over in the way that many do. F. T. G. --Phila. Home Weekly.

Some .fair average lots sold at $0 50(06 75; most of the sales made are to slaughterers, who aro careful to dispose of' tho pie ces before' buying the • hogs, so little confidence do they feel in the future of the market. The packers have lost money during the last two years when they had an outlet for the hog product througt the,foreign and army demand. Now. they Will have neither unless pri ces should come down to a point which will give a margin for shipment to Liverpool, and that point would be about $6 50 net for hogs hero. There will be the Southern demand but. it would not he safe to calculate on an increase over this year . from that source, while the increase of hogs Wilt be nearly fifty: per cont.. Whether farmers will sell their hogs on this ba sis remains to be seen. But how can they do better? The meat is in the country, no matter whether it is pack ed at home or at the packing centers, and if they do not accept present or lower prices for their hogs, they may have to sell their moat at relatively lower rates. We want to see the far mers got all that their hogs are worth, but we think they have their views too high. HOW TO SELECT OFIOICE Some one who has been taking notes in the poultry lino gives the Mlowing directions for selecting fowls that aro young and tender: A, young turkey has a smooth leg and a soft bill, and if fresh the eyes will be bright and the feet moist. Old turkeys have scaly, stiff feet. Young chickens have a ten der skin, smooth logs, and the breast bone yields readily to the pressure of the finger . The best are those that have yelow legs. The feet and logs of old fowls look as if they had seen hard service in the world. Young ducks feel tender under the wing, and the web of the foot is transparent. The best are thick and hard on the breast. Young geese have yellow bills, and tho feet are yellow and stipple.' The skin may be easily broken by the head of a pin ; the breast is plump and the fat white: An old goose is unfit for the human stomach.
