him at last by the magnet gold: All

to be bridged over by the strange old

Holy full of heart-stuashine were
the weeks that flitted over the head
of the accepted lover—brightened by
Edith's smile—made beautiful by the
soft radiance of Edith's hove. There
was only one alloying shadow—the
almost imperceptible touch of distrust
and suspicion with which stern old
Dr. Wyllis regarded his future son
in-law. AM he feared to' trust his
only child to the keeping of any man,
who had not been proved in the fiery
furnace of trial.
It was precisely a week before the
day appointed for the wedding, and
the soft lights, Tailed by shades of
ground glass, were just lighted in
Dr. Wyllis's drawing-room, where
Edith sat among her white roses and
heliotropes, worEng.a bit of cambric
raffling,. and singing to herself. She
was a &guide', beautiful girl, with vio
let eyes, a blue-veined forehead, and
glossy, abundant curls of that pale
gold that old 'painters love to por

She :•tartt.d up, with a bright, sad

" Otir new home!" repeated Philip:

"Why, I niean , your wife yonder is

Philip Acre's' cheek thushed, and
then grew pale with strong, hidden
emotion, as he leooked at his fair wife,
standing beside him, when the sun

There seems to be at last Pa o probe:
bility of an ocean penny postage—at
'any rate from England to this coun
try. In the English House of, Com
mons Mr. Seely] is about to move' for
this reduction, and cs the subject has
been before thfi, people of England
for some years, Abe reduction may be
decided on, especially as past experi
ence,tella soimuch in its favor.
Suposing the reduction to be ef
fected,and lettei.s under half an ounce
were transmitted for exvEnglish pen
ny (twoeents,y this would amount
to $640 a ton, which is greatly in ex
cess of the rate charged for ordinary
freight, and would therefore hand=
comely pay the ship-owner,, The
present rates, from 12 to 30 cents an
ounce, amount to $7,680 and $32,000.
The ship-owner may receive the en
tire receiptsor the sea-rate may be
divided and the residue left for the
inland postag e at either end of the
line. • -

00EAN PiMIY POSTAGE.
, In 11337; before the internal penny
postage was inimprated in England,
the number of-letters sent was 82,000,-
600. In_lB4o the rate was reduced
to a penny; and in 1859 the nuthber
of letters sent by mail amounted to
545,000,000. In 1835 the - poatal rev
enue of England amounted to $OOO,-
000; in'lBs9 it had gone up to issls,-
000,000—far more t . than paying the
expenses: In 1842 the revenue
rived from the English Post Office
amounted- to $4,546,246, with a large
deficit In 1860 the receipts wets
upward of $14000,000, - thes .
$23,000, and the deficit ex $5,-
000,000.
So much, then, for cheap postage
—the lower the rates, \ the more let
ters.are sent, and thus a great public
advantage is combined with an in
crease of revenue. ,ocean penny
(or two-tent) postage sate would, no
,doubt, be a rmiumid success, as well
`as a great public tOOOll to the people
of any country There it is adopted.

ject, yet thanki,,to, irony and
brains, its shell is not, impenetrable.

*Weston. , This problem is mixed„
yet it, will be pleasing to remember
that the facts here stated and thaw
omitted-include all there is to learn \
about petroleum. The senier &sal
of AlleOteny College have, in cora
.„pany with oure,seellent,guide in ge
*logy, Professor 'Tingley, just pqd la
visit of inquiry to - the oil regions.
Thii opinion given' below sir to the
o!'iginof the oil, is no* treat of gecdce•
gists generally, snit adopted by them
after years of careful study. Around
Oil City, the country kioks =Alike
oar own mustymedia minus the war
ble land. At Firsalrlin, and its neigh-.
boyhood, the prospect is mush more.
-Owing . to farmers. Each well has
&Acrid& built over_ it, shoat twelve
feet square on ,the ground, .;and run,
ning to 'a point some sixty feet - high.
Theis derricks present a singular ap
pearance on a steep hillside, rising
one above the other at all distances
apart from twenty-five feet upward.
In the top of the
,desne . kis a pulley
'over which runs a . rope, fastened ,at I
aline end to the drill and at the other'
to a windlass. The drill is put - to
gether in sections, and often forty
feet in length,weighing from 1,600
to 2000 pounils. The first section
is quickly dulled and removed, while,
a tharper.ed point takes its turn in
'the well. The drill is altethately lift
ed and. let fall about three- fret—this
is bo ring for oil. The motive power
m
is a i steam engine, connecting
with the windlass. The fuel for the
engine is frequently gas brought in a,
pipe from another well. Usually two
men can perform the labor required
at one time,. The boringis continued
night and day until oil is either reach
'ld or the o p rotors do not tare abOut
going further toward . China. The
latter has happened several times.
The distance traveled in twenty-four,
hours varies from thirty feet to one
inch. Thus the ground is sometimes
badly baked., Oil is found in large
-quantities within a hundred'_ feet of
the surface occasionally, but gener
ally from 700 to 1,000 feet below it.
The debris is removed by a sand
pump—a hollow tube with a valve at
the bottom that opens by the press
sure of the pump' on the water be
low—which, with the gravel, runs in
to it. When the pump rises the valve
' closes, and the well is thus - - cleaned.
For the first five • hundred feet the
well is shoat . eight inches in i diaine
ter. At this depth boring is discon
tinued, and an non casing half an
inch thick, and resting on a , shoulder
at the surface, is inserted, reselling
to the bottom. A." . piece of. leather
two feet long is fastened =find the
lower end of the leasing. The upper
part ,of the leather being free, the wa
ter from .sbove presses it so , tightly '
against the outside' (which at this
depth is
_always solid rock) that the
water cannot pass it. , This is the ob-'
ject of the casing. Below thiS depth
water veins do not interfere. The
drill is now inserted within the cas
ing, and the operator goes on his way
rejoicing. It sometimes Imppeni that
the drill gets fast, causing much trou
ble to remove it,. I visited a well thus
blocked at a depth of 600 feet. The
utmost exertions of the past five
weeks had failed to free it. The
ground for yards around it was bleach
ed ;white, and its cause attributed to
the curses heaped upon it. ' -
Now a word as to the oil and its
supposed origin. It is found in dif
ferent geological forniatiooa; but prin
cipally.rm those deposited during the
Silurian and Delman rages' These
oil reservoirs are generally far below
the carboniferous or coal , formations,
and as the tendency of the oil is. to
seek the surface rather than the earth's
interior, the old idea that - the oil comes
from coal has been abandoned.
Where," then, does wit come from ?
Manifestly it is, of organic origin.
The life on the earth at this time was
principally marine ;—of this the fos-
Eils now found in the rocks give abrea
ct:l4 indication, and it is: frorn this
soalec that the rocks themselves are
principally derived. When it is re-
membered that these refrains were
being deposited through• countless
ages until in North/America a maxi
mum thickness of 36,000 feet was at
tained, it will be seen thatthere was
m lack of materiaL This material
was at times so operated upon by the
earth's internal heat, that by a pro,
cess known to chemizits as destruc
tive distillation, petroleum and other
oils were produced. The porous sand
stone in which the oil is found in this
country, is merely an oil cask. Owing.
to the action ofleat, the rock above
and below the oil -is well nigh *per
',nous to IL • Lamer Fawczrr.
P.S.—When oil is reached an iron
tube is inserted reaching down to it,
and the engine mentioned set to
pumping it up. , L. P.

Suddenness is, after all, the desid

a seat on the sidewalk is so mach like
a .good joke; is , itself, in fact, a good

was a boy. -I had an idea that, it

I said my prays when I was oblig

that it was Teri' unmanly i not to i

manliness. But one thing you 'will
ail
-admit is manly ( and noble, 'and
that is, to ask for what yoa really,
'wish to have, and to express thanks
for what you receive. . It is wrong to
take -without asking, and very shab
by not to my, a Thank yon," after
receiving a, gift; yet this is just what
&Tenon. does who does not` pray. I
Once had that lesson imprwed uPon
my mind in. rather a peculiar ,
.man
ner, and I must tell you . about it.
When I was a boy, .I was playing out
in the\ street one winter's day, catch
ing lides- on sleighs, and it wm
great f , .. 7 Boys would rather catch
rides - an darthan zo' ont - ntenlarly
and pro • •rly -to take a drive. As r
was c,ata , , g ink to . one sleigh and
another, 4:., , dimes having a nice
time, and lAttinles getting a cut from
a big black,.3vhip, - I at last fasitened
like a barnacle to the side of a coun
tryman's cutter.. An old gentleman
sat alone on'the seat, and looked at
me rather benignantly, as I thought;
and never said anything Of' swung
his oM Whip over me; so I ventured
to climb up on the side of his cutter. 1
t.nother benignant look from the 1
' countryman, but not a acrd: Em
boldened by his Supposed ,goodriess,
I ventured to tumble into the putter
and take a seat under his warm buf
falo robe beside him,, and he then
spoke. !I' he colloquy was as follows ;
" Young man, do :.you like tC . ,
ride?;' "Yes, sir." _" Do you own
this cutter, young maul" ' " No, sir."
" It's' 'it'' pretty nice cutter, isn'tit ?"
" Did I ask you to get in ?" " No,
sir:" "Disc you ask if you: might
get in?; "No, gr." - " Welt then,-
why did you get in?" -
"'Well, sir, I—l thought - you look-.
ed good . and kind, • slid - that " you
would have no objection." ~.
" And so, young man, because you
thought I was good and kind, you
took advantage of that kindness, and.
took a favor without asking for it ?"
":Yes, sir."
- "Is this- ride worth hiving ?" -
" Yes, , sir." , . ..
" Well, now, young man, I. want
to tell you two things. You sinedd
never take a mean advantage' of the
kindness -of - others; and what is
worth having is worth at lead ask-
ing fcrr. -14.7o*est-you tumbled into
this sleigh without asking me, I shall
tumble you ii to that snowdrift •with
out asking you.
- And out I went like a • shot off a
shovel, and he didn't ,make much
fris.s about it, either. I picked my
self tip in a slightly bewildered state,
but I never forgot that lesson.
God is good, and kind, and benev-
olent, but He wishes us to ask for
wham° receive; and there is no true
manliness in taking too best of heav
en's gifts, and .making .ne. acknowl
edgment for them; is there, boys ?—'

There are families that possess ev

from the lealonsyand quarreling that
prevail within. There are married
couples who live in daily sorrow, not
because they are in want,but beeline°
each thinks the other unkind, arbi

Young people sometimes marry
with their eyes shut; and thus, -in.-
