My friend Kelley was walking down Main street, Milwaukee; last autumn, in a brown study upon some abstruse subject, his vision horizontal and va cant, his step rapid and careless, when just as he had forded one of the cross streets, and had lifted one foot to place it upon the curbstone, a big but cowardly yellow dog came sweeping along, followed by a little black ani• mal of the ,same species The yellow dog whizzed passed him, but the black specimen, oblivious to all things but the object of pursuit, as every dog should be on such an occasion, and, possibly, somewhat under the control of his own momentum, struck Kel ley's perpendicular leg, while the oth er, was walking, and knocked it out from under him. My friend went dciik - rn instaeter. His glossy beaver ,bmineed bpon the pavement, and con• tinue'd iti journey. Spectacles-danced jingling into the gutter, while his Shawl struck against a shopman's Windbw like a papei pellet dh die wall. Kelley gallier.e'd himself together, picked himself up, aiicl lodked the dog who had done' him the mis chief, expecting to find him "hove to" iri Canine dismay at the accident he had caused; but to his titter Agton isliment, the animal seemed ae regard less of his*. equilibrium as of any oth er trivial matter, arid was running-af ter the aforesaid yellow dog as though he had not tipped over the best fel low in Wisconsin. While my friend was down, a clear, musical laugh had rung out'upon the air. It was so evidently spontaneous, so charmingly musical, was so sud denly checked, and had withal so good a cause, that Kelley could scarce ly be angry or even disconcerted. When the gentleman had recovered from his surpeiSe at the heedlessness of a quadruped, ho bethought himself of the music. There were half-d-doz en ladies in view; but by a trigono metrical calculation be reached the conclusion that the laugh must have come from either a dainty little blue hat, with delicate straw-colored trim mings—or a decidedly sober and an cient brown one—the two being in conjunction; Of ebtifse he fastened upon the bind hitt, flir neyeii since the flood did a grave, unfashionable bon net give out such gushing laughter as that. • Kelley was not a city gentleman— ; not he: Ile was a squire in a rural town, a loader of town affairs. A man of mark, to, whom . the village politiciarta looked for shreivdeit 'coun sels, on whom abused people called for advice and redress, in whose hands 'friendless widows put the manage. ment of their scanty estates, sure that all would be done for them and the little orphans, that tact, fidelity, and a warm heart, could adebinplisb. The blue hat, was a city hat; and the brown hair it covered, together with the hazel eyes sparkling jn front of it, were of city growtb. But the sober, brown bonnet was a rural af fair; and the lady under it was a 'i ral aunt, of good dimensions, both in person and heart. Before the occur rence of the catastrophe *high bre't out the laughter, the aunt was ing attentively to the little lady's Vb: ry eager request that she would try and procure her a school near h,er country home; after the accident the brown bonnet gave a very appropri; ate and impressive lecture on the great impropriety 7 of, langhing .out in that way, when "the , street Vciaß full of folks." "Why, whii'cOuld auntie? Did you ever see any thing s° funny? Laugh? /didn't laugh—it .laughed itself. 0, dear," and then the little figure trembled from . head to foot 4,1 7 der the shilimg of suppressed merri- ixinnt. "Weil, yoil. see, au n tie," . said the little blue hat; .reeurring to: the for. mer topic, "father isn't rich ; indeed, I don't think lie.js as well off as he seems to be ;.and the filthily is large —all girls, too,just a bill fpr expense, you know, and. I don't. like to. have father furnish me music lessons' any longer for I know he cannot afford it. But I wouldnigive up my music for the world ; Only I want to ,pay part Of the expense, triyaelf. Father isn't able, he looks.more and more care warn every dtt. lam really.afraid;" and here the voice fell and became ve ry serious--"I am really afraid - things' are going wrung with him. • Besides, 1 warn to be doing eudiething. a better girl When I feel thatrm not a drone, and independent. Yes, aun tie, I must and will have a school— there you help me ?" The brown bonnet caught the girl's enthusiasm, and promised. You must have known, reader, from the brief description of my friend Kelley, that he was the town school superintendent. Who else Was so well qualified to look after' the interests of the public schools ? One morning about six o'clock,— my friend rises at five, has a good fire buil in hiti office, and an appetite for breakfast atiix,—a rap fell upon the eater R'elley rose and opened it. • "Good morning, ladies I walk in." The brown bonnet said "good morn. ing," with dignity ; the blue hat pro. nouneed the same blessing timidly; and both walked in. 'My niece would like to, be exam ined to take the school in our district.' 'Certainly,' said the town superin -6164 laying the poker on the ta ble. 'Certainly, your aunt—beg par. don—your niece shall be examined, madam. Warm .morning, madam," wiping the Per r s`PiFatiOn - from hill !lice. With a sheet of blotting paper. 'l3lesS:yon ! it's the Oldest morn ing we've had this fall,' • chid the as tonished aunt. 'Why; MarY'i face has been like a peony all the way, ridin' in the wind. Jest look at it.' There was no need; for my friend had seen something more than the blue hat, some minutes before. 'Certainly, madam, certainly—very red—l mean very cold indeed, ma'am, very.' The town superintendent was not long, however, in getting better pos session of his faculties: and at length the examination commenced. 'Your residence if you please,' said Kelly, blandly. 'Milwaukee,' timidly. 'May I ask where you were educa ted,' continued the questioner, look ingfor.ence into the eyes which were Sparkling, desPite: the blushing, end barrassed features. 'ln the public schools, sir.' 'Did you graduate?' 'Yee, sir•: 'May 1 Idek tt your diploma?' nib lady handbd a roll tied with bite tiblioii ; KelleY tried hard - to un tie it, hilt iidOn got the knot in a very bad fix. The pietty fingers of the blue hat were called into requisition, and the knot was conquered close be• fore him under his eyes. Opening the roll— ' ,l slaFy :Dotter! Is that your name?' 'Yes, sir.' 'Your father's name ?' 'Charles.' 'Merchant?' • 'Yes, sh' `Why, I was a clerk in is store when you were a child. He was the noblest employer I ever had—made me all I am. I mean that he made me upright, for that is all that I am, any way.' Kelley promised a certificate—said that he would bring it over the next day; which he did. During the whole term he was ve ry faithful in official visits to that school; and just before the close of the session, my friend said— 'Mary, I wouldn't teach any more.' 'O, I must. I like it; and besides I have not accomplished half what I want to yet' 'What do you want to accomplish?' 'I want to continue my music.' 'What else?' 'I want to clothe Minnie.' 'What else?' 'I want to feel that I iil usef ul, that lam doing something' "I iiiarit, to hire you, ''Mary ; and will pay you wages that will enable you to do all this' , era want to hire me ! What can 1 do .fek you ?" . . "Keep my boaSe, - and be my wife, Mary.' And then the town superin dent got his arm around Mary's waist, and held her tight, though she strug gled a little at first: 'Let me go a minute, and I will tell you.' He released the little figure, and Mary stood before him, trembling, blushing, twining the strings of the blue hat around her fingers, looking doWii tipcin the flOOll glancing once into his earnest 460! her breast ris ing and falling tilt tlig amen swayed like a little shill lipaii the billiiiii: To ~ 0 0. love iti .' 0' , twit!' itly *fib e soul? , ~ "Did Yiiii eiro &lie thi . tfißll blse ?

This was followed by a severe epidemic. In the ninth century an earthquake in India destroyed one hundred and eighty thousand persona. It was pre- Ceded by a darkening of the sun; dud the falling of showers of black mete oric stones, followed by great storms. In 1021, southern Germany was dev astated by earthquakes, and the wa ter of the wells turned red, like blood. There were great inundations and fi ery meteors: In 1089, England was the scene of a terrible convulsion.— Houses-were seen •to leap upward; fruit trees were - blasted; and-such was the disturbance and terror, that the harvest was not gathered until the last of November: In 1158, the river Thames was dried up so that it could be passed dry shod: In 1179, the earth in Durham swelled up to a great heighth all day, and then sunk down with a great noise. In 1348, shocks of great violence; all winter, desola ted'Europe. The earth opened and poured out pestilential exhalations. In 1503, ,Cabal and Affghaeistati were convulsed - for four Weeks, day and night; the earth opened and closed again, spoiitirig follh water, and lakes were formed in the pla6e of dry land. 1n1550, England Wits again visited by a terrible earthquake: The shipi in the harbors were 'dashed against. each other. The bells in the cluirth towers were set to tolling by dons of the' earth, and many greh buildings were thrown down. In 1616, thirty towns in srititheim Italy were destroyed, and seventeen thousand persons killed. The earth *lied in huge clefts; lakes disap peared ,; monntains were riven 11.81111- de . r; forests everthrown, and the wells spouted ndid and water. There were horrid subterranean noises, and ti strong smell of sulphur. 1r..1692, the Island of Jamaica seen to rise in waves like tilt; Sea:— The whole Island than sank a little permanently, while at Port Royal, three fourths of the houses were thrown down; three thousand per sons perished, and about a thousand acres sank beneath the sea. A man was swallowed up in a fissuc of the earth. It closed over him, but at the next shock he was thrown out unin jured.. In the same year, forty-nine towns and villages in Sicily were de stroyed, including over nine hundred ehurehes and convents, and over nine ty thousand persons were killed.— There - Were terrible eruptions of Et na, Yesuvitie . , and Hecla. In 1700,,the . eafthquakes in Japan killed two hundred thousand persons. In 1726, Sicily was again devastated. In Palerriio, CS chief city, four elitirch ea, tell palaces, tind sixteen hundred houses were thran down, killing six thousand persons. The earth open ed, and threw out burning sulphur and red-hot stones, and the air up. poured like the glare of a general conflagration. On the first of November, 1775, oc curred the great earthquake of Lis- It Was preceded,,py shocks, for several months, -in various parts of Europe, which seemed like warnings of the catastrophe. The earth in St. James' Park, London, swelled up and seemed on the point of bursting.— Dogs howled, and fishes threw them selves. out. of the watef: There were halos round the sun and moon, fiery meteors, alterations in well and river water, with violent storms. In Spain, the wells wore diS colored, rail' and reptiles came forth from thOif holes in terror, and doilies tie ,tinithals appeared uneasy and lied. Tilggreat earthquake, when it came, extended from Iceland to•Magadon, in Me'rodeo,!. and . from ikakomm. .to the WHOLE NO. 880. - West Indies. It was felt over an area of 7,500,000 square miles. Its centre appears to have been in the Atlantic, off the coast of Portugal. The earth moved in great WaVes, like water; with a velocity of 7,955 feet per_ second.— Sixty thousand persons perished in Lisbon-alone. The people reShed for Safety to a,magaificent new quay,.re-- contly , erected. a moment it sank, with all the people beneath the waves. The . ships; which were fastened to it, also went .down and never rose again. In MoruCco, a-rimantain opened and swallowed city of 8,000 to. 10,000 inhabitants. , - In 1811, ihe.Parolinas, and the val leys' of 'the MisSissippi, Ohio and Ar kansas rivers were visited by a tre endous' earthquake. Many persons were killed. The air was perfectly still, yet, .as the earth-wave passed under the forests, the- trees were twisted; and their houghs wrenched off as by-'a hUrricarie- Others were killed, though not violently injured. These are a. few of the most re markable eanhquakes; but what shall we say of them ? It is agreed bY all that have experienced them, nothing. in Nature is so terrific. There is no getting used them. On the contrary, the terror increases with every shock, and the least frightened-are those who have had no experience. The motion produces nausea, like sea-sickness.— When the firm earth begins to pitch and heave like the sea, you know not. what to expect, but, are at the mercy of a .power at once strange and awful. In our opinion, the philosophers have not done much for earthquakes. They talk about magnetism and the moon, but how do these account for the disturbance of -a considerable por tion of the earth's surface, and the up heaving and agitation of whole conti nents. It is evident that volcanoes, and earthquakes are closely connected.— Volcanoes are generally conSidered the vents Or earthquake forces, and an earthqUake is said to be au effort to establish a volcano.. Yet we do not see that Vesuvius has saved the kingdom of Naples, or that Etna has protected Sicily. There are volca e*tinet and active along the An• des; yet that, grand mountain chain is not tinfreqfiently, rocked by earth quaked. The cmises of the volcanoes are not settled: We know that there are vast internal forceS, capable of raising whole continents, and of ren dering mountain chains into pieta resque fragthents ; but what is the na ture of these forces we have no knowledge. The first idea that silo - crests itself is , that a great . quantity of water, find ing its way from the ocean to the earth's molten interior, is converted into steam, producing a series of tre mendous explosions, with a great evo lution of gasses and consumption of hydrogen. That an earthquake, in fact, is a steam boiler explosion on an immense scale, and that the volcanic fires are owing to the decomposition of hydrogen. But the laboratory of the chemist offers us-fulminating mineral corn even more powerful than steam and having, it force, perhaps, a thou. sand times greater. than that of gun powder. There are forces in Nature sufficient to rend the earth into at oins, and send it flying through space, like the masses of matter which some times kindle into a blaiing meteor in passing throtigh our atmosphere! In triith, we can only form conjectures, and no theory ever proposed satis factorily accounts for the phenomena. What would be the effect of a vio lent,eafthquake on a city like. New York ? Our tall houses, which will scarcely. stand up against a heavy gale, would go crackling down like houses of cards. Such earthquakes as . Siime of those we have noticed, Wriiild make our proud city a heap of ruins. A few of the most massive buildings might remain on their foun• dations„shattered perhaps, but left standing. But whole squares of our brick-and-PlaSter-shams would be lev eled with the . pavement. Good, old• fashioned frame buildings would stand the racket best; but solidly-built brick or stone ones may last through many violent earthquakeS: The old castles, churches, and towers of Europe, which have stood for centuries, have been, rocked in many a convulsion without being overthrown. Happily, we have been exempt f'rom such ca lamities; but who can insure us against them in the future? Who can say on what spot of the earth or ocean a volcano may burst forth, or an earth bunko convulse ? A MODERN BLUE-BEARD We give to day—from the Petit Courier des Dames,of the 15th of No vemler--one IA the most extraordi nary accounts of the manner in which a fond husband contrived in Paris, to amuse himself with his Wives —for he tickled two to death—that has ever fallen under our notice.— Those who have the experiment of tickling their feet tried upon them can easily imagine the refinement of ! that torture which a person must en dure, when so bound as to be unable to resist, What pleasure the demon could have taken in the extatic agonies ofd Icitely woman, no human mind can ilinCy; but that he did revel in them the narrative renders but too certain EFfEdfS OF TICKLING: Mrs. de 11=rnixed much with the fashionable world lagt, pinter, accom panied by her , ki i i:gbter Emily.— Young and handsome, this lattei; was the nhject of general attention.
