abashed. ** I was not mistaken," she said to her
self, “ it was pkwhom I siw."
Mr. .Worrtmwallod for a more than a minute
for her reply, but os eho continued silent, he went
on. - ' ’
•* Now, Carolind," said he, "'I wish you to look on
mo os what l am—the best friend you have in the
world, and one who has no motive,'much less any
wish Id odviso yob wrong. It Is a mistake of pco
pic, especially of those of her sex, to
parents wish'to lyraniru over them in the affair of
marriage. Believe me nothing is generally further
from o parent’s thought. It is not unfrcqucnlly, in.
deed, that a father differs from a daughter ns to the
wisdom of uniting herself with a certain suitor, but
in such' ease*, the father is,-nine times out of ten,
right, and the child wrong. ' The parent; from his
knowledge bf men—from whnl ho - hears in the street,
and other sources, usually arrives at a jUslcr conclu
sion respecting a young" man’s 'character," than Q
daughter, who has little or n<j means of ascertaining
the truth. Ini thecaso oflhis’yming Collins,•! know
him to bo extravagant, idle, occasionally intemperate
in his habits, and head over cuts in'debt. Dcsides
this, lib lias'a violent temper. ■ I beseech you, Caro
line, do not give, way further to tins infatuation of
yours." •■*. i. • ‘
As Mr. Warren spoke, ho approached hi# daughter
and look her hand.’ She burst into tears, looked up
in hi# face, and said—
“Oh, but, papa, I love him, and he loves mb;
he snyshe will throw himself away, if I do not mar.
ty him. Surely; shrely, if 1 can, 1 ought to reform
him." •
Mr. Warren shook his lifcod. ' ‘'Caroline,” he aaid,

1 NAPOLEON AND TUB ViVANDBRIB. ——

During onookihe campaigns In Germany,the Km.

in the environs pf Munich, attended only by two or*
dorly officers. (He met on tbe road a very pretty

■ wulo foiling into the mouth of an earthquake; aomc.
limes it rolls . along over • head for several seconds,
and sometimes it growls like some great beast..
Ezekiel—When the lightning-cloud .is near lllrt
earth, the vibrations, of the arr, which carry tho
sound (o the car, come altogether upon. |t, ai\d that
makes it appear as If it- wete* a. sudden- crash.—>

Ezekiel—ll |s so, however. Lightning tratpld.

tho distance sound travels in a second by 5, ami’
thol will give you l,9Ut)i'tlie distance of the tlnud.'
Now 1 ahull tcll vou a common way bf calculating the
distance of, n storm. .Suppose you see a flash of.
lightning, aiid immediately plicc your.finger upon,
your p'u ad | if youTcol six beats beforo you hear (he 1
sound of the thunder, (lie storm is a mile distant,.lf <
twelve beats it is two miles, and so on*-

calculate our nearness to, or distance from dangers
but plea*e, Ezekiel, docs thunder always have tho
same sort of sound f * ' ’ - ' s
Eteklcl—No,in lovsl Countries U Is less Irregular:,
than in hilly countries. 'The posl is broken by tho'.
lofty peaks of tho mountains, and the echoes also .
assist to make the sound more terrible,
Jane—But why does rata come down so heavy
oftcr thunder 7
. Ezekiel—Because the lightning disturbs the air, .
earning it to rusii together, and to booumo some
what heated, so that U .is tint able to sustain so
much water as It contains, and It lots it fall In great •>

tree,, or meeting-house, or river, or any running
water in n thunder storm.
Jano—Why <is'll dangerous to be noar trecsor ,

Ezekiel—Because (nil pointed objects, like Ibb'.

qucnlly'discharge lightning'cloods | that If they

George—Will you' explain how lightning U dis
charged by till objects 7
Ezekiel—l guess that is easily done j : stippnio'i
that a lightning cloud'7oo yards high, is floating,
over u plain ; it is too high to be attracted by (ho,
earth; but if a steeple ur tree stand up filly yards'
in tbo uir, the distance la so niueh less, end. they
attract the lightning.
Frank—Bui why dues it fly from trees to men.,

Ezekiel—Lightning alwayo chooses to puss through’

ductor than a tree, it loaves iho tree and Cakes Iho 1

very uusafo lo run orrhlo rapidly, during a thunder,
