Fresh from a home 'of affluence and plenty, she had settled down as district school ma'am, in the little town, of Oxford. "I'm not going to Saratoga or Long liraneli this summer, papa," had been her reply to, her indulgent parent, when interrogated as to the amount of funds needed for her sum mer outfit. "I'm going into the country to keep school, grow brown, drink buttermilk, teach the young idea how to shoot,'and perhaps bring home a husband." This last to her stately - mamma, who stood amazed at this new freak of her undignified daughter. I don't care what yon say," she went on, in answer to, the Storm of queries, expostulations and .ridicule: " I'm tired of being dressed' up, and stuck up, and aping fa • doll,' and I mean to go where I can wear my old dresses, and' descend' from my digni ty when I please—perhaps do some good and improve my mind a little. There's need enough of the last two, every one knows." So leaving fashions ble-friends, fine dresses and nnuiners,iall her irksome society fetters behind, she went out into the country tip refresh her youth, and study nature, for winch she found a ldrg,e field in her schooL What an odd study it was. Every face different, every mind unlike, habits and inclinations as widely apart as fire and water; and yet, the whole had a pew, - strange formatian, which strengthened and drew- closer the bond between teacher and pu pils. The latter, by the instinct of youth, soon grew to respect their instruct ress, and all needs and disputes were implicitly referred to the "Teacher," sure of a speedy and just arbitra ment. Si) far Lute's mission had succeeded. Some individuals of her flock she had made an especial study; each was a character in itself, td find which deeply interested her. Chief among these was Harvey Bruce: tre oldest pupil under her control. He was, one of those specimens of humanity we instinctively wonder at .and pity. Wonder at, because of the constantly recurring anomalies in the compositiod; and pity on account of their evident nnadaptcduess to their station in life. On her first taking the school, her attention had been drawn to this youth, and her pity and sympathy for his forlornness had been excited by tile harsh words of his father, at whose house she was spending her first week of boarding round. TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., MAY 9,1872. "There's Luke and Asa," weal his remark, " as smart as 'any fellers in the deestrict; but that: 'ere Harvey, don't l earn his salt, and haint any more gumption than an old cow. All he cares for is his books and larnin'. Couldn't lay a swath or plow a furrer to save himself; but he can daub the house all over ,with charcoal, and rags dipped iu the blue-pot. Won der who he thinks will earn his bread and butter when he grows, np?" During this tirade, Auto had watched the drooping figure, measur ed the long shambling limbo, noted the slender, claw-like hands, and When, as the old fanner burned away, the large, wistful eyes were lifted sharply and Eittestioningly to her face, she met their mute appeal with a bright sinile - and encouraging nod, which made the poor fellow's face flash, and his eyes droop again, as if his father's opinion had been coincided in. er:dear o treads elven. er head, praise t sweet MEES!!! MEM I am wrong to say boy. - Harvey was Lute's equal in age, and of man's stature, so that he literally looked down on his young instructress; and as Lute looked at him this afternoon, and remembered his physical and mental disparity, her heart almost sank at the thought of the responsi bility that rested, upon her in regard to him. Ler heart— ' t— • OILS how, her dear, eft, redo funa OM All the afternoon she sat and watched him at his desk in a far-off corner, his whole attention devoted to the books and slate before him. The ptipils evidently congratulat ed then4selves on the ease.with which they accomplished their recitations, for their teacher was too mach ab sorbed to heed any bnt the most fla grant delinquency. School Was over at last; and Lute watched with relief the exit of the last of the troop; but as she turned from the door she saw that Harvey still remained in his seat, and with his head leaning on his hand seemed contemplating something on the,desk before him. I=l OEM TEO ye, oil eau uP ; fu's thorny putli She passed quietly down the room and stepped behind him to discover what it was. To . her surprise, she found it to be a copy of the view from the window bywhich ho sat— rude and unfinished, it is true, but bearing marks of decided talent. Lute no longer wondered at the misunderstanding and depreciation which the boy met with on every' hand among his associates. Those who are of the earth, earthy; like the man with the,muck rake,Are totally blind to the intelligence thSt seeks to rise above the mere striating for the meat which perisheth. Lute stood behind him for a feyt moments, and then finding him still silent, laid her hands upon his shoul der. Ho started and looked up, when she perceived there were terra in his eves. v Why, Harvey," said she, with a pleasant smile, "did you do that? who tiiught•you to 'draw ?" "No one, ma'am," replied the youth; straightening • his- droopinn. shoulderS. " I've made this a good many times, but it never' looks as it does out doois.. I've made things like *ever since I was a little boy. I'd like to be a painter, but it's no use wishing." " What is to prevent your being a painter, if von wish' it So much ?" asked Lute.. "'Taint rio use. Father -says it's all inoonshinc, and I can get my liv ing better ways than daubing things to hang up on the wall; but I won't work on the farm," and the despond ent tone grew hard and bitter. "Still I think you can bo a paintei . if , yoii try. There's nothing like try ing, you knoW."I Lute's synipathi4 were deeply ex cited. I How could she best Icheer , and assist this poor, longing, craving, soul, striving for higher attainments? A sudden inspiration came to her. She seated herself at a neighborin4 desk, and told him of the • humble Italian boy, who, on viewing the shapes of beauty depicted on canvas by the gteat masters, felt his soul thrill within him, and exclaimed, " I too, am a painter," and thencefor ward Ibiled on through every difficul ty, until he had made his proud dec!- laration a reality, and all Italy bow ed at the shrine of his genius. " Thank you, teacher—Miss Ray mond, I mean. try and be a painter;, but ho* shall -begin ?" and then the old•shadow returned for a moment. " Father won't consent ; he'll neVer help me." " God helps him who self, Harvey. Everything possible to him that wills. I will help you as far as I can. I I have some drawing materials, among my baggage, you are Welcome to; and I have an artist friend in the city I will speak to in your behalf. Now it is time to go ; see how dark it is growing. Don't try to thank me," she continued, ob serving the youth AV,as strugglinr , with his feelings in order to sped:. "I am glad to . do.yqu so small ,a fa vor; please say n(')"..inore about . it. Goodnight," and Harvey Bruce was left alone, wondering if one of the angels he had,read of in his Bible, had not, in reality, come down from heaven to brighten his cheerless life. The next morning Lute was as good as her word. and Harvey found himself in possession of a package of pencils, a color-box, and some draw ing paper; things of small moment to Lute in her affluent life, but a mine of gold to the - recipient. Nor did her good offices Stop here. By dint of gentle .coaxing, and deft feminine wiles, she persuaded farmer Bruce to give au ungracious consent that Harvey should study to be an artist; and from that time forward tho grateful youth was her devoted slave and champion, considering him self Well paid for all his exertion by even a word or smile. At the close of school, when Lute was to go back to her city life, and Harvey to his studio, the pupils crowded rand the teacher, who had so endeared herself tth , all, that they might exchange good-byes, and iith der their keepsakes. Lute, after kind word and smile for each and all, turned to Harvey, who stood apart from the rest. Ho came timidly forward, and placed in her hand a little sketch of, the schoolroom, with himself at his, desk and his teacher near him, as id the nnforgotten conversation. She MI MY an QVA3~. smiled as she took it., and thanked tho donor with kindest words of com mendation. "I don't doubt you will be a paint er yet, Harvey," said she. The poor fellow attempted to re ply, but the words died in wh ispers. He could only ,ejaculate a huaky 4. g00d-bye," and rush from the room. • So teacher and pupil parted, wadi the years went by until ten were told. Lute Raymond, ten years older than when she presided over the lit- tle district school of'Oxforo, sat wea -rily plying-her needle, in a.' small sewing room, in the waning light of a dull - November day. Her features were thinner and her face paler than in the by-gone times, and her faded black dress told of vicissitudes and bereavements met and endured. ' • She had knoWn both poverty and orphanage, and as a hired seamstress from house to house she was thank ful by unremitting toil, to • earn the pittance which kept body and soul together. Bound her, piled in luxu rious profusion on the tables and chairs, were rich silks, delicate laces, and all the dainty perquisites of faah ionable attire, seeming like so many reminders of the light, careless life left so far behind. - She bribed her hand across= er eyes and sewed wearily on. The door opened, and her employ er entered, a supercilious lady, bril liantly dressed, and evidently •acens tomed to linving her will undisputed,. How do you progress, Miss Ray mond?" Lute, iu reply, brio!) , stated the amount of work necessary .for the completion - of the rich garment she was engaged upon. - " That is well," was the answer. "livonld like it to be Anislied to morrow noon, that I may wear it tO the reception - at Mr. Bruce's studid; his last picture is on exhibition, anti every one will be there. Can you finish it by that time ?" " I will try, Mrs. Fawcett ; the evenings are lona." "Yery well. c 'You shall be paid accordingly." And the haughty wo man left the room. of toiled on till the last glimmer of light had faded, and then she sought her humble lodging. Her first care, ere she resumed her needle, was to go`to a small bex, a casket of relics, and search among its contents until she drew forth a small ill covered drawing, which she studi ed attentively a fuw moments, and then laid' slowly away, rejecting the thought as untenable that the artist whose name had been mentioned by Mrs. Fawcett, and her old pup% were one and the same person. The next clay, when from her win dow, she watched the lady enter her carriage and drive away toward the painter's rooms, a wild longing 4:ame over her to see for heiself the 4rtist whose name was on every lip. The desire grew stronger - as , she walked- home iu the early twilight, and almost without knowing it she found herself entering the room,' bril lent with soft light, and ,lined with r pictures in rich frames. The . apartment seezaed to be va cant, and she passed from one pic ture to another, ignorarit Of the fact , that the owner had entered; and was intently regarding her from a distant corner. • , At length he observed her pause before two paintings' which seemed to enchain her attention irresistibly, and which hung side by side.lt softly drew near her and loeked,over her shoulder. The first represented a rude,Coun try school-room, the pupils at their desks, and the teacher presiding, with such fidelity that Lute started as El e recognized - the school at'Ox ford, Why was such a picture hung here? The other was very different, being allegorical in . charaCter. A mountainous elevation formed its background, on the summit of Which a lofty building, rose, partially ob scured by a golden haze. At t.he foot of the steep ascent stood , a,seeming pilgrim, looking wistfully' upivard, while an angel figure just above, with outstretched hand and winning face, waited to lead him pp the rocky way. Lute had become conscious, while contemplating the scene, of the fifes ence of another spectator, and turn ing met the deep gaze, of the painter fixed upon her, and colored with em barrassment. She opened her lips to speak, but he understood the re quest before she could frame it, and 'and answered : _ "nose pictures, madame,'" said he, "contain the story of my life. I. was a poor - country lad, awkward and forlorn, despised by, my associ area, and knowing only one desire to rile• above my low estate into the higher life of art. The Lord sentan angel to me in the form of a woman, my teacher at sebdol. By her gene row words of cheer' and .helping hand I was enabled to take the first step in my upward way. All' that I have, and all that I am, I owe to her ;" here the artist's voice was hoarse with feeling. "I prayy, for blessings upon her night anti' day, and that I might find her, for I am told she_ is poor and unknown. I have lOved her with my - whole soul since : the day when She told me to go on in my chosen career ; since, to the man of firm• will-all. things were possible. At last my Prayer is an swered, and she is found. Miss Ray mond, Harvey Bruce offers you his love, his wealth and his name. Will • you accept then':";` She had listened in bewildered amazement; then, with the closing words the reality of the whole! came upon her, and with a searching look into the face above her, she burst in= to tears. Bat she did not withdraw the hand he had taken, and he felt himself answered.' So Lute' Ray mond received her response. Scnars.—Nothing is . trouble some that we do willingly. The philanthropist lives .not for himself, but for the world. Joys are the flowers. dropped in our path by the•hand of Providence. It is difficult topersuade men that the love of virtue is the love of them - - solves. Pleasure is like a eordial—,a little of it is not injurious, , but, too much destroys. 7 . TEM;DEATII.OI I SOLOMON. We find the following in Baring Gould's curious volume of legend; of the Patriarchs: When Solomon had recovered his throne,' he reigned - twenty years. His whole reign was , forty years, and he lived in all fifty-five years. He spent three years . prosecuting the building of the temple. ToWardi the end of his life he often visited the temple. and remained there ono or two months. plunged in prayer, without leaving it. He took his nour ishment in the temple. He even re mained a Tear thus ; and when - he Was standing, with bowed head, in a humble attitude before God ;" no one ventured 'to approach him, man or . Jinn ; if a Jinn drew near, fire fell from heaven and - consumed him. In the garden of "Salomon grew every day an unknown tree. Solomon asked it,," What is thy name, and what are thy virtues ?" And the tree answer ed, "I am called such and such, and I servo such a pupose, either by my fruits, t.r by my shadow, or by my i fragrance." I Then Solomon transplanted it else where ; and if it were with medicinal properties, he wrote in books the kinds of remedies for ivh . ch it serv ed. One day Solomon saw -in his gar den a now tree, and asked it, " What is thy name, and what purpose cloth thou serve ?" The tree replied, 't serve for the destruction of thetem ple. Make of me a• staff whereon to lean." Solomon said, "None can destroy the temple as.-long as I am alive " Then he understood that the tree, Warned _him that he must shortly die. He pulled up the tree and' of it made a staff, and, when he prayed, ho leaned on his staff to keep himself upright. - Solomon'knew that the temple was not complete,and that if he died, and the Jinns knew of it,they would leave off building ; therefore lie prayed, " 0 Lordl grant that the event of my death may be hidden from the Jinns, that they may finish _this. temple." God heard his prayer that the-tem ple might be completed, and that the Jinns might be humbled. '• Solo mon died in the • temple, standing, leaning on- his st .ff, with his head bowed in adoration. - And his soul was taken so gently fom him by the Angel of Death that the body re mained standing ; and so he remain ed for a whole year, and those who saw him thought he was absorbed in prayer, and they ventured not to ap. proach. The worked night and day till the temple was finished. Now God had ordered, the same day that the soul left Solomon, a little -white ant, which &venni wood; to come tip out of the earth under the staff, and gnaw the_ inside of the staff She ate a little every day; and as the staff was very strong and e tont, shejead not finished if till the end ofthe year. Thep, when the temple was tlinsbed at the same _time the staff was eaten up, and it crumbled under the weight of Solomon, and tliebody fell. Thus the Jinns knew that Solomon was dead. Now, when the white ant eats wood, the void is 'filled up with clay and water by the Jinns • and this they will continue to do till the day of the resurrection, in grati tude to the little ant which announ ced to them the death of - him who held.them in bondage, Blf the clay and' water are. not, inserted by the Jinn, whence can they come ? The sages assembled — and enclosed an ant in a box, with a piece of wood, for a night and a day; and they com pered The amount devonred in that -time with the lenith of the staff. and thus they ascertained how long a time Soloman had been dead. - WONDERS , OF THE LIGHTNING.- A flash of lightning rushes through space at such a rate that it might go from the earth to tho moon 'in one second.. Then what , time is is allowed a man's nerves to trans mit to the brain ,the impression of a stroke. 'of lightning ? And what time ha's the brain to understand such a crash ? Absolutly none ! The flash occurs, , and in darkness a life is cut off. Experience bears out this deduction, for Prof. Tyn dall relates thus his own experience: ."Some time-ago I happened to stand in the Presence of a numerous audience with a battery or fifteen large Leyden jars . charged beside me; through some awkwardness on my,part, I touched a wire leading from the battery and the discharge ent through my body. Life was absolutely blotted out for a sensible interval, without a 'trace of pain. In a second or so , consciousness re turned, I Bair Myself in, the pres ence of the audience aiiirvparatus, and by the help of these external appearances immediately,: concluded that I had received the battery .dis charges. The • intellectual ,consci ensness of my position was restored with exeeding rapidity ; but not so with optical consciousness. To, prevent The audience from being alarmed I observed that . it .had often been my desire to receive such a shock, and that 'my wish had at length been fulfilled. But while making this remaik, the ap. pearance which iny, body t presented to itself was that 'of a nambei of separate pieces.' The arms, for ex ample were detached from the trunk and seemed suspended in the air. In fact, memory, and the power of reasoning appeared to be conplete long before the roptic nerve was, re stored to healthy action. Bnt *hat I wish chiefly to,dwlll upon_ hare is,.the absolute pinlessness of the shock ;` and there cannot be a doubt' that to a person struck dead by lightning, the passage lToin life to death occurs wohout comiousness being in the leasf. degree ,implicated It is an abrupt ; stoppage of sense. tion unaccompanied by a pang."

DUBIOUS IBETINOT OF THE BEE. Honey bees arc goverzed by in :tiock not by art. They never devi. ate from the course they were created in. The first comb they ever .built was as perfect as at the present l Aay ; no art has improved the shape or size. One bee lays all the eggs, vvhile the others raise and protect them - • cad: bee does its part 'of . the labor in gathering in the stores' and nursing the young . ; nd I have noticed, for some years, heir mode - of gathering pollen for b bread. It is this : i When a bee goes out after food, it alights on some kind of flower, and gat, - hers a part of its load ; then goes to , another flower of the same kind, and prehaps a third,to obtaid aload.• Another bee goes out, and if it alights on another flower, it keeps that kind until it gets a' load, But how is this known ?' Yon go to the hive and watch them as they come in ; some have \yellow Pollen- on their legs ; other have light colors ;' others have dark ; but no bee has two_cplprs on his legs. If you see any, y6IIE - will see more than I have;-for I never did ; and I have supposed that they stored it in different cells, -which confirmed my belief ' • for I suppose they like a change of food as well as humans. Another curiosity is their coining out and alighting before going off ; from . among the hundreds I have hived, I never had one swarm leaie direct from the hive. Another curious thing is their rear sing the• males and nursing them so tenderly, and after they become , use less they destroy them. Bat instinct has directed them to do it.. Another curious thing is - that, when they get to be too numerous, the mother bee should !cal out her lirooi to go with her, and leave tle others to take, care of the young. Why not call' them all out to go with her ? Because instinct has ordered it otherwise. Certain ones go out with her while others are coming in. with stores for fatnre use.. A certain part of them don't seem to have any inclination to follow the 'mother bee, nor do they mourn the loss, for another is provi ded. _ How wisely 'the Creator has arrang ed every part and movement. It is curi ous, too, hbw the eggs•of_ the drone cells arei all workers. We would suppose they would get mixed np like hen's eggs. Again, when they want aqueen; why not make a mistake sometimes and take• a drone egg? And also, by feeding a - certainkind of food, make a" queen instead of a worker? — Again, the, queen , before she is hatched, is head 'downward, which would seem to be unnatural. But the All-wise has made every part perfect, TIIE TIDES.- - - The tides purify and wash the shore's, clearing and sweep ing our ports ; the currents, which result therefomi, di - sencumber our roadsteads of the masses of mud which load them, clear the mouths of rivers,antiproduce a pure and whole some freshness. These undulations of the ocealf,theSe powerful pulsations of the waterAnfluencecl by stars which are separated from our planet by millions ofleagnei: nor have they less mathematical regularity than that which directs those \planetary' bodies themselves. At _ a 'fixed hour the formidable masses of: water, raised -- by an invisible power, rise and, ap proach the shofe. They rise, they precipitate themselves with resistless power, but only to. Stop gently at 'a precise moment„ without ever pass ing the boundary which nature has traced. It is surely an honor to the human race to have succeded in cal culating the very hour—nay the ex act minute—in which the oscillations of the sea begin and end in every part of our globe. • Nevertheless, as yet unknown combinations will, at times, Treat:ice terrible disasters, thatnannot be avoided by any fore sight or precaution. Thus, occasion ally, a - powerful wind happens to blow in the same' direction with the tide, and gives it: incredible force and fury. No lofty embankment reared by the hand of man, no rocky ram part raised by:-Nature herself, can then withstand its power; and towns axeswept away in an instant, and t onsands ofpersons lose their lives. In some parts of the globe the tide produces remarkable . effects, from the peculiar formation of the coast. which it 'strikes. _The most striking is that of the island of 31auritius, where a long, rocky promontory runs far out into, the sea, and has been worn by the waves into numerous caves and. grottoes of marvellous beauty and grotesqueness. The . waters have forced for themselvesani outlet through the roof' of one of these caves, and when the tidal wave reachei the coast it fills the cave,and then, with indescribable grandeur, flies through the opening to a height of 60 feet, accompanied by a thun dering roar, which is heard for miles out at sea. Wugx we come to•social, friendly or general letters, men es _a rule fall far beneath Icemen. A man in love can perhaps spoil more' paper" than his. beloved one; but . he is act ing under strong pressure and can hardly be- taken as an' example. The average man does not write a bright gossipping letter—his busi ness habits lead him to too much conciseness. Women on the contra ry seem, especially fitted for - Sic work ; they. touch upon trifles— things which men deem uftworthy of notice---and thereby-put into pleas ing shape, facts and fancies which give spice and zest to their letters. There is no one accompishment which women possess which deserves to bo rated higher than that of let ter writing. It is not to be-sup posed that wpftien write only4f tri fles; on the .contrary they . possess special -aptitude in their treatment of the better impulses and passions whith sway human nature.
