THE HARE ANJ>THE TORTOISE, One day a fine hare from a lonely retreat, Game hopping along on his snowy white feet; A slow-moving tortoise he met in his way, And he said to him, “ sir, ’tis a very fine day, “Yes, yes,” said the tortoise, “ ’tis pleasant and fair, And I’m walking out to take some fresh air; I am not very nimble nor fieety, ’tis true, ButJC think, on the whole, I amhappy J aa you;" While the hare stood listening to what was just said, A plan for amusement popped into his head; He thought, though repugnant to reason and sense, He would have some fine sport at the tortoise’s ex- pense ; ■■ He said to himself, “ I’ll put on a long face, And propose to my oomrade to run a short race; Bo ho spoke to his friend in a dignified tone— In as few words as possible made his plan known ; And the tortoise assented, though he knew all the That the hare in his spirit was practising guile; But he thought in some way the prize he might gain, Though ’twould be no disgrace if he labored in vain; He thought, if victorious, he’d attribute the deed, To his wisdom and prudence, and not to his speed. And so they agreed on the time and the place, The amount of the prize, and the length of the raoe. When the season arrived, each with a light heart Got into position, all ready to start; The tortoise proposed that he should count ten, And when he had finished, the hare should say when; And both at this signal, at the top of their speed, Should run for the prize, and to this they agreed ; The tortoise oommenced rather slow to oount ten, And wnon he had finished, the hare pronounoed “ when!" Then onward they went in pursuit of the prize, With very fine spirits and bright sparkling eyes; The hare bounded forward upon a full jump, And got far ahead, and hopped up on a stump. Said he to himself, now the race is begun, And I must go in for my mischief aDd fan; So he turned to his oomrade and spoke in a jeer, “ Why, sir, seems to me you are far in the rear; Just stick up a stake by the side of the raoe, So to see if you move at perceptible paoe; Sir, I would sit here till the morrow’s sun rise, . And then I could beat you and pocket the prize.” While the bare was thus talking, the tortoise oame near, With his firm, steady step, not minding the jeer; He pushed along by without stopping to fret, While he thought in himself, I’ll not give it up yet; As he went jogging by, the hare said in a smile, “l am coming up your way after a while.” When the tortoise had got nearly out of his sight, The hare started forward with all of his might; When the tortoise perceived that his oomrade was nigh, He turned out a little and let him go by; As he went flying by, like a leaf in a gale, He cried out in a sneer, “ Good bye, Mister Snail!” When he’d got far ahead, he hopped up on a log, And could just soo the tortoise far back in the fog ; So he tuned up his voice to a very high pitch, And said, “ What are you doing back there in the ditch?” ’ While you’re coming on with your slow, lazy oreep, I’m going to lie down here and have a fine sleep.” So he drove from his .mind all his plans and his And was soon fast asleep in the regions of dreams. The tortoise went by without saying a word, And he walked very careful lest he should he heard; Now, he said to himself, 1 shall win in this raoe, And the thonght of success rather quickened his paoe. Just then, ashy chanoo, he lifted his eyes, And saw but a little ahead was the pcjze. He went on and took it at the end of the mile, And stopped by the roadside to rest him a while; But he soon started home upon the same traok, With a heart full of joy and the prize on his book ; And he said to himself, with a bright smiling face, 11 It is wisdom and prudence that win in a rate. ' ’ Soon he oame to the hare and found him asleep, A snoring and dreaming, all curled in a heap; He hit him a tap on the end of his nose, And soon he was roused from his balmy repose; And when he perceived he had lost in the raoe, He began then in earnest to draw on a long face ; He felt so ashamed that he jumped fibm the log, And started off home as you’ve seen a whipped dog ; .But the tortoise went home with a satisfied look, Told his neighbors and friends how the wager he They honored his prudence and laureled his name, And ere he was ’ware he was covered with fame; But the poor beaten hare went sneaking about* And only at night wbuld ho dare to come out. If you in life desire to rise. Take prudent steps and win the prize; But if you move with senseless haste, Life in the end will prove a waste.— Heraid. From Miiliette’s Illustrated Monthly Magazine. THB HEW CARPET. A DOMESTIO SKETCH. Amiable reader—for suoh we have no doubt you are—we-must beg the assistance of your imagination in portraying the fol lowing domestio sketch. Considering that you are so often oalled upon to imagine scenes which 1 it would be easier to oon-, ceive than to desoribe ’ —partings in whioh eternal farewells are breathed—reconcilia tions and meetings, in whioh all language is lost in tears ; considering that your im agination has often such exciting tasks to perform, it may, without great difficulty, transfer itself to Mr. Stubb’s front and baok drawing-rooms. They formed part of a small house in one of those innumera ble rows of middle-sized dwellings which abound, and still daily seem to rise, in the neighborhood of the great metropolis.— The rooms, as in most similar habitations, are divided by folding doors, whioh never fold—at least, on their hinges—remaining always open, to give two moderately-sized rooms the appearance of a single large one. The furniture is neat, and consistent with the dimensions of the apartment, which wears a comfortable look ; and having yet met nothing extraordinary enough to at tract attention, you are, perhhps, half angry with us for conveying your imagina tion to so uninteresting a ‘ looale.’ One object, however, yet remains to be noticed, and we prepare to contemplate, and, per haps, admire —the carpet, which we expeot to find in accordance with all that sur rounds us. Here we meet with disappoint ment— no richly-tinted flowers reward our inquiring gaze—we see no fanciful pattern consisting of lines interlaced in apparent oonfusion, but, in fact, all rightly designed, if patience enough is taken to follow eaoh distinct tint or color—no refreshing bo quets, with wonderfully bright butterflies hovering over them—nothing is under our feet but a vas! traot o£ brown-holland.— This brown-holland must, we think, of course, be a covering to something more pleasing to the sight and ornamental to the apartment. Suoh is certainly the case; and it is this conoealed piece of upholstery whioh has tormented theiminds of the Stubbs family for many months. The truth is, one morning at breakfast, a long time ago,itßtrnob both Mr. and - Mrs. Stnbbs simultaneously, that their drawing-room carpet was very much, faded. As the stern reality will obtrude itself, spite of- fiatter ing-uuotions we may lay to oar soul, they were obliged to come to the conclusion, that a new one most be purchased. From the day this idea first dawned npon them, every thought, almost every action of the united Stubbses, tended to thik’ great objeot. The Stubbses were quiet, every day kind of people, whose minds were never troubled with exciting matters, so their imagination coaid only compass one thing at a time; that unit obtained, in their sight, the utmost importance,and gave them as much oonoern as the affairs of nations to the most aotive-minded. After the carpet decision was made, an intermission, oooured, before the new one could be pro cured ; and during this time, Stubbs thought that as the brown-holland must be had sooner or later, the present one had better be covered. On Saturday, Mr. Stubbs returned ear lier than usnal with a hurried, important aspect, as if something in his establishment required his presenoe ; the oause of all this being a request from his affeotionate mate to go with her and buy the new carpet.— During thisepisode in their lives,the Stubb ses were not alone; the lady had invited her mother and her sister lor a short time; better for these had the Fates delayed their visit to another season, when nothing might have occurred to disturb their do mestic peace. Mr. Stubbs’ mother, whose name was Wilson—that of his eldest daugh ter, ere she exchanged it for the less eu phonious one of Stubbs—was a nice elderly lady, and quite easily amused. When not engaged in conversing with, or entertain ing her daughter’s visitors, she oould al ways find occupation for herself ;.her great est pleasure being to sit near a window in the front drawing-room, with some employ ment requiring bnt little trouble, and less use of her uncertain sight. This otherwise harmless oeoupation generally oonsisted— unfortunately for future prospeots —in picking old gowns to pieces, stripping cur rants or gooseberries, sorting wools, all of which occasioned around her a litter of fruit stalks, wool, or bits of threads, as the ease might be. The Saturday that was to witness the accomplishment of wishes so long formed, dawned in beauty; the sun appeared really axious to shed most flattering rays on all patterns of carpets—to bring out their vivid oolors—and every way to aid Mr. and Mrs. Stubbs in their perplexing choice of a carpet. One pattern had too muoh red in it, and would kill the furniture, Mrs. Stubbs said; another was too pale, and would incur the same effeot from the cur tains ; there was blue in this one, which would never do, the room-paper being almost all green ; a large pattern would make the apartment look smaller; and one more diminutive was insignificant. Time, however, which brings an end to every thing, brought even Mrs. Stubbs’ ehoioe to a termination. Either from his habits of obedience, or a perfect oonfidenoe in his wife’s good qualities and taste, whatever this lady chose was sure to meet with heT husband’s approbation,whioh was expressed on this occasion with compliments on the taste Madam had displayed in her selec tion. Great was the admiration whioh the new purchase elioited when it was brought home ; and the first day of the forthcom ing week was fixed to lay it down. What oonfusion was in the house on that day! Poor old Mrs. Wilson was shut up in her bed-room, not in. the liveliest imag inable vein, and trusting her imprisonment would not last long, applied herself to work most industriously. The disorder of the rooms down stairs had given an opportunity for cleaning the whole house —that is, turning it topsy-turvy, whioh limited the old lady to a particular scope of aotion. The dog and the oat, that had remained undisturbed tenants of the salon ever since their memory could serve them, were turned adrift with a dreadful uncer tainty of what would happen next. What with sweeping scrubbing, dusting and cleaning of every description, it became a matter of congratulation, that a new oarpet is not bought every day. At length the drawing-room returned to its normal state, and looked comfortable and inviting, whilst the new acquisition shone in all its pristine beauty. The old lady willingly quitted her domain up-stairs to admire it; and the members of the Wilson and Stubbs family united in expressing their high opinion of the newly aoquired Brussels. It might be supposed that, when all this admiration was at an end, eaoh one returned to the usual habits of the estab lishment, making the drafting room their usual resort as of old. Not at all; no foot advanoed beyond the door; locomotion appeared to have ceased in the abode of the Stubbses. Circulation produced press ure and would prove detrimental to the beauty of the new oarpet. Mrs. Stubbs evinced by her example that its tints were to be viewed and admired only from a distanoe, like the'tulip in a Dutch garden, for she no more advanced into the room than Meinheer does into his parterre. The oat, unluoky enough to be tempted by the softness of the tapestry to venture upon it, . disappeared from that moment for the rest of the day. As to the dog, to avoid any such intrusion, he had been previously put out of the way. After having oomplimented her daughter on her taste, and the elegance of her purchase, Mrs. Wilson, who was doubtless unaware of the .extreme impro priety of her suggestion, begged her daughter, Angela, to bring down her work, at the same time advancing towards her habitual seat near a window. “ Why, my dear mother, you are not going to work there !” was the immediate ejaculation of her married daughter ; “ and on the new oarpet too! Why, you will spoil it in half an hour.’ The good old lady oould not exaotly comprehend how she should commit suoh terrible devastation in so short a time, and turned to her daughter Angela for an explanation. In a tone somewhat humbled, by the aocusation brought against her, she inquired, ‘ Are we never again to sit in that room ?’ ‘ Not until the oarpet hUs been oovered,’ answered Mrs. Stubbs; although the inquiry was addressed to her sister ; ‘ you must know,’ continued she, ‘ that we are not rich enough to have a new one every week,” and symptoms of ill humor npw beoame apparent. ‘ I suppose I must go up-stairs again,’ sighed poor Mrs. Wilson, adding, ‘I wish he had not got a new oarpet.’ Up-stairs the old lady did go, leaving “ THAT COUNTRY IS THJt MOST PROSPEROUS WHIBK .XiABOB OOMMAHDS THK ORK&XXSI RRWABD.”—BUOHAHAM. LANCASTER CITY, PA.. TUESI>AT MQRNING > FEBRUARY 8, 1859. . her daughter not the leak irritated by her ' last observation, which, after the trouble | and anxiety 'caused to p'rociire’the said new i oarpet, Mrs. Stnbbs considered rather harsh. Mr. Stnbbs, who had remained silent daring the conversation, now ! ventured to ask when it was to be covered, | and was told a day or two must elapse ! before this eohld be done, as the wort woman usually employed by Mrß. Stubbs was not immediately at liberty,—a delay, of course, very annoying to the mistress of the house; which, as she would never have a stranger to work for her, left no alterna tive but to wait. She asked her sister to attempt the task, but the request did not meet with a favorable response. Angela deelared that she eonld not undertake it, being almost nnaoqnainted with the manner in whioh it was to be done. Mrs. Stubbs hoping nobody would call on the unlnoky intervening days gave striot orders to say that she was from home. As visitors might, however, come to see her mother, Mrs. Stubbs said to her sister— ‘ I shall be out all to-morrow, but, if any one should oall to see my mother, will you be kind enough, Angela, to have a pieoe of matting put under our visitor’s feet.’ ‘ Put a pieoe of matting under our visi tor’s feet!’ exclaimed Miss Angela. ‘What do you mean, Jane ? How very absurd! Mrs. Wood, whom we have so long expected, is likely to come to-day, and what would she say if we put a pieoe of matting under her feet ? You may tell the servant, but I will do nothing so foolish;’ and Miss Angela rather suddenly left the room. In a few minutes, however she returned with a serap of paper, bearing the words : ‘ All persons are requested to take off their shoes before entering the drawing room.’ ‘ Perhaps,’ said Miss Angela, showing the paper to her sister, ‘ you would like this put over the door; it is just as reason able as having pieoes of matting .’ The expeoted, but certainly unwished for Mrs. Wood did oall, and Mrs. Stubbs, ourious to see who waß there, betrayed herslf and was obliged to reoeive her visi tor. Mrs. Wood was a neighbor, who had seen the arrival of the carpet, of which she was somewhat envious, and the purport of her present visit was togratify her ouriosity by obtaining a view of the new purchase. Never did a visit appear longer to Mrs. Stubbs than this, particularly as her friend seemed to take a malicious pleasure in scraping her dusty feet upon the new oar pet. At length the visitor departed, but not until she had made the circuit of both rooms to see some books or flowers whioh stood at the farthest end of the apartment, leaving such footprints at every'step that they made Mrs. Stubbs inwardly groan. Mrs. Wilson, who was allowed to take her usual seat, provided she made no litter, oould not help thinking that if it was pos sible to destroy a carpet in half an hoar, their visitor was more likely to efteot her pronheoy, than she had ever been. Fortu nately, for Mrs. Stubbs’ peaoe, no more visitors oame that day ; but in the evening a nephew of Mr. Stubbs, who was in the habit of now and then looking in, as he oalled it, made his appearance. On his arrival, Miss Angela was oalled by her sister, and desired to gently hint to the young gentleman, that he might make himself weloome by leaving his shoes at the door, and using his uncle’s slippers. Mrs. Stubbs thought that, as he was so intimate, he would not mind acoeding to her wishes ; ‘ at all events,’ added she to Miss Angela, ‘ if he oannot be induoed to take off his shoes, he must have a pieoe of matting to step upon.’ Miss Angela was surprised enough to hear the proposition she had suggested merely out of ridicule, acted upon in so serious a manner. With an air of assumed gravity, she gave her sister’s message to the young gentleman, requesting him to imitate the Turks at their mosques, and leave his ‘ chaetissure ’ at the entranoe. ‘ Is this the only condition upon whioh I can enter V inquired the victim. ‘ No; you may keep on your shoes if you please, was the answer, ‘ provided you will oarry this piece of matting, ancb put it down from time to time to step upon. We have all got similar pieces, so you are only conforming with the rules of the house. The young man entered, using his mat as directed, stooping now and then to push it on a few inohes further, until he reached a seat, whioh he resolved never to leave, come what might. A knook was heard at the outer door, it was the lord and master returned from business. Seeing the draw ing-room tenanted, he was about entering, when Mrs: Stubbs’ voioe arrested him— ‘ Have you wiped your feet, Geoge V she almost shrieked; ‘if not; do so, or take off your boots.’ The orders were obeyed so far as wiping the feet went, and Mr. Stubbs entered.— On seeing his nephew sitting like a gentle man in the stocks, with precautionary means before him in case he should wish any change of position, he burst into a fit of laughter, and, for once asserting his, rights, collected all the fragments of oar pet and matting, and threw them out of the window en masse. Mrs.Stubbs looked astonished, and re buked her husband in no gentle terms. «Let it be covered 1’ he exolaimed, as Mrs. Stubbs exolaimed that the next day brown-holland was to hide the unconscious ly guilty Brussels. And it was covered; its bright hues and cleverly wrought design were all hidden from admiring eyes; whilst, with their disappearance, peace and comfort resumed over the establishment their former influ ence. The exiled dog and oat even felt the difference, and rejoioed in being allow ed to return to their acoustomed corner.— Good old Mrs. Wilson, however, sometimes asks a question, to which there is satis factory answer. It is this : ‘ Why did you buy a new oarpet if you meant to cover it up 1 Under brown-holland, the old one would have done just as well.’ Perhaps the old lady may get her question answered some day, until whioh time she consoles herself with the thonght that, if she is ap parently stepping on brown-holland, she is, at the same time, treading on the new oarpet. It might be that its beauties would again appear in the event of a soiree ; bnt, as the Stubbses never give parties, there is no ohance of its being seen, exeept perjiaps, by some very intimate friend getting a peep of Borne few inches, nntil its colors are faded by time, and, like its predecessor, it becomes in its turn, the Old Carpet. Aflttring of Onions Facts. The following- Striking scientific foots were picked up in the course of onr-read ing from various reliable authorities. We think many of them will be new to onr readers: The difference - between the skulls of the domestio hog ahd_wild boar is as great as that between the European and Negro skull. Domesticated- animals that have subsequently run wild in the forest, after a few generations lose all- traces of their domestication, and are physically different from their tame originals. It is not: natural for a cow, any more than for other female animals, to give 1 milk when she has no yoong to nourish. The permanent production of milk is a modified animal funotion, produced by an artificial habit for several generations. In the practioe of milking bows having been laid aside, the natural state of the function has been restored. The seoretion of milk continues only daring the snakling of the oalf, and is only an occasional phenome non. If the oalf dies, the milk oeases to flow, and it is only by keeping him with his dam by day, that an opportunity of obtaining milk from cows by night can be found. The barking of dogs is an aoquired hereditary instinot, supposed to have orig inated in an attempt to imitate the human voioe. Wild dogs and domeßtio breeds whioh beoome wild, never hark, bnt howl. Cats, whioh so disturb oivilized communi ties by their midnight “oatawanl,” in the wild state in South Amerioa, are quite silent. 'The hair of a negro is not wool, bnt a curled and twisted hair. The distinction between hair and wool is clearly revealed by the miorosoope. The dark races have less nervous sensi bility than the whites. They are not subjeot to nervous disease. They sleep soundly in every disease; nor does any mental disturbance keep them awake.— They bear ohirnrgieal operations muoh better than the white people. A certain speoies of fungus has been known to attain the size of a gonrd in one night; and it is calculated that the cellules, of which it is. composed, must amount to forty-seven thousand millions. If it grew in twelve hours, this would give four thou sand millions per hour, or more than sixty six millions eaoh minute. Animalcules have been disoovered so small that one million would not exceed a grain of sand, and five hundred millions would sport in a drop of water. Yet eaoh of these must have blood vessels, nerves, muscles, circulating fluids, &0., like large animals. One of the most wonderful achievements of astronomers, is the weighing of the bod ies of the solar system. It is oertain that the mass of Jupiter is more than 322, and less than 323 times the mass of this globe —so accurately has this work been accom plished. The mass of the snn is 339,551 times greater than that of the earth and moon, and 700 times greater than the united misses of all the planets. The planet Saturn is composed of matter only half as heavy as water ; Meroury is considerably heavier than quioksilver, and a third heavier than lead; and our own globe is twioe as heavy as lead —a faot showing the great density of internal parts. A flash of lightning on the earth would be visible on the moon in a second and a quarter ; on the sun in eight minutes : on Uranus in two hours ; on' Neptune in fou r and a quarter; on the star Vega, of the first magnitude, iu forty-five years ; on a star of the eighth magnitude in four thousand years ; and snoh stars are visible through the telesoope. La Place, the great astronomer, says : ‘ I have ascertained that between the heavenly bodies all attractions are trans mitted with a velocity whioh if it be not infinite, surpasses several thousand times the velocity of light.’ His annotator estimates it at eight million times greater than that of light The oiroumferenoe of the earth is 25,000 miles. A railway train, traveling inoes santly night and day, at the rate of twenty six miles per hour, would require Bix weeks to go round it. A tunnel through the earth, from England to New Zealand, would be nearly eight thousand miles long.

THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, in view of the awful destmetlon of human lifecaueed by Sexual diseases, sdo the deceptions practiced upon the unfortunate victims of such diseases by Quacks, several years ago directed their Consulting Snrgeon, as a CHARITABLE ACT worthy of their names, to open a Dispensary for the treatment of this class of diseases, in all their forms, and to give MEDICAL ADVICE GRATIS to all who apply by letter, with a descrip tion of their condition, (age, occupation, habits of life.

Gleet, Syphilis, the vice of Onanism or Self Abnse, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Ac., and order a continuance of the same plan for the ensuing year. The Directors, on a review of the past, feel assured that their labors in this sphere of benevolent efforts havebeen of great benefit to the afflicted, especially to the young, and they have resolved to devote themselves, with renewed zeal, to this very important and much despised cause. An admirable Report on Spermatorrhoea, or Seminal Weakness, the vice of Onanism, Masturbation, or Self- Abase, and other diseases of the Sexual organs, by the Con sulting Surgeon, will be sent by mail (in a sealed envelope) FREE OF CHARGE, on receipt of TWO STAMPS for post age.

It is bold in its effect, beautiful in tone, surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade, and may be seen In any light. The public are cautioned against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the black varnish In immediate contact with the Picture.— Such are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and destroy the Picture.
