A llerth In a Sleeping Car. ,i 'i . , ONE night as I was about leaving New York in the 9 o'clock train for Washington, a nmn who wai in seurch ot mo approached. I knew he was in search of uio. He was in search of some re spectable, benevolent individual, to put a woman under his caro. And ho aid. She happened to be rather good-looking, nnd I didn't object in a violent way, but 1 was neither very graceful uor gracious over tho compliment. When I camo to secure a section in tho sleeping car, I found that a delegation of pious people was going to Washington on some churi tablo business and had taken nearly all the berths I secured two at least I thought I had and marched my female with her two carpet sacks, strap satchel, a mocking-bird and silk umbrella, with a waterproof and two shawls done tip in straps, into 51. When wo arrived in side, I learned for the first time that my unprotected female could not abido tlio sleeping cars. She said she felt like suf focating, and I wished secretly that sho would suffocate ; but when we como to occupy our berths I made two disuroca blo discoveries. Tho first was that tho two tickets called for the Fame berth ; the other, that this berth was the upper ono. My female friend said positively that she could not get into that berth. I inform ed her thut it was her only chance to sleep, and she told mo that she would rather sit up. I then gave her tho fur ther information thut that was all very well, but in a sleeping cur there was no pluce to Bit except on a wash basin, and that I thought would bo rather inconve nient. At lust, with the aid of a step ladder the (.toward and two pious old Pomps, my unprotected female was boost ed into her roost, and tho curtains closed over her for the night. Then enmo the question as to what had better become of the undersigned. I consulted the conductor nnd the steward, and hud the satisfaction of hearing the fact stuted that if I had told them ear lier the blunder might have been reme edied. But as it was, the pious delegation had retired for tho night, and all the berths were occupied. The conductor, however, told me he would try and make some arrangement, nndjjlien went off about his business. A drunken man had been captured on the platform as we started, where he was found addressing the stars in a vocifer ous way, the sleeping-car ticket fished out ot his pocket, and the incbriato fel low chucked in an upper berth. I was leaning against tho washstand of the car in a very melancholy way somo time af ter, this intoxicated fellow stuck his head out and addressing me, said : " I would like to have a drink." " Water 1" asked I. " No ; darn water ! I want some whis key, I am as dry as a chip." " Well," I responded, " I am sorry to say that 1 have none ubout mo. " Ain't you the conductor ?" " No," I responded, " I don't believe I am. " Nor do I. If you were tho conduC' tor, you would havo something to drink. Where is the conductor; I told him thut he was in the next car. " Well," said he. " I have treat mind to get up and hustle round till I get drink." " My christian friend," I said, " there is nothing in the constitution nor the sixteenth amendment that prohibits you from cettinir tip and hunting a drink if you want it." Whereupon tho inebriated individual rolled out of the berth. lie rolled into sevcrul others and was promptly ejected, and at last, getting on his legs, disap peared at the further end oi the car. I took in the situation at a ulniicc. Here was a berth vacated. Above it was a white hat. 1 immediately rcinov ed that white hut. I carried it further along and put it over a Christian associ ation, who lost in tho sleep of inuocenco and peace, and then returning, 1 en scorned myself in a berth vacated by a man who hud constitutional nuht to a drink. I was dropping into a slumber, for always sleep on a car devoted to thut bu siness and invented by Mr. Pullman; the motion hus tho auoie effect upon my brain that rocking has upon a child, and I do not only sleep easily, but profoundly. In a few seconds I should huve been beyond all disturbances, but it happened 1 was awakened out of my first wink by a row in an adjoining section. J. hero seemed to be a pitched battle going on between one of the delegates and a gentleman who claimed the berth to be tho one he had just vacated. I heurd him say, " Now, net outot tout: ana lie called trie good muii the offi-priDg of a female dog, ad ding thereto some very prolune Ian guuoo. The conductor camo to the res cue of the weary delegate, and when the man called attention to the fact of th white hat, he puzzled him sorely by showing Initi two or three white hatslur- tlier along iu the same car. At this the inebriated passenger desisted, but as soon as the conductor a back was turned, re newed the fight with the next whito bat, insisting just n positively thut that was bis berth, and with the same profound and violent language and scuffle. lie was repulsed only to begin again,' and he kept fighting these good Christian gentlemen who were so unfortunate as to have whito hats, until I fell BBlecp. '' A Surprised Lady. rpiIE Williamsport, Pa., Bulletin says! 1 On Saturdny evening last a young gentleman of this city concluded that he would attend church.' Uo straightway presented himself at tho door and was taken in chargo by a polite sexton, who showed him into a scat beside a young person of tho femenine gendor. This young person was attired in a white gown fresh troni tho laundry and guileless of spot or wrinkle. With that instinct ive neatness common to most ot the lair sex, tho young lady had spread out tho skirt of her gown as much as possible, to save it from the rumples incident to a sitting posture. The young man on tak ing his seat did not at hrst obsorvo the display of drapery beside him. After a while ho cast his eyes around. They fell on the white muslin, and he felt himself growing red nnd whito by turns. Could his in short, could tho tail of his shirt have escaped from its confinement in Ins unmcntioimblcs 1 His hand trembled, but he surreptitiously laid hold of tho lady s property, lifted his cont, ond push ed it, as well as he was able, : under his pantaloons. Tho lady, surprised at this, to her, unnccountablo mono ever, moved a little but said nothing. The young gen tleman ngain became interested in the sermon, but gluucing down at tho seat a moment or two after, beheld to his hor ror, what he supposed to bo his unman ageable garment. With a convulsive ef fort he clutched it in his shaking hand, and was endeavoring to put it where it should have been, if it had been his mus lin, when tho lady moved far enough away to tuke her skirt out of the reach of tho unhappy young man. With an expression of countenance plainly de picting the unutterable thoughts within urn, tho young man took up his hat and hurriedly left the sanctuary. A rcrerering Rascal. T HIE Detroit Free 1'rcnt tells a lamen table story of a husband's perseve rance and a wife's unrcquittcd love. Such things are not so common as to warrant any particular notice, but tho husband's persistence was so remarkable and so successful thut it tukes tho case out of the ordinary. Mr. Messenger, of Illinois, lately married a girl about fif teen years old, and on account of some vaguo rumors which tended to show thut he was a bigamist, he took his pet wife from tho West towurds tho East, tender ly askitig her on the road what sho would do if he should abandon her, how she would make a living, and putting other unnuturul queries to her. Strungo to say, her suspicions were aroused, und when tho couple cumo to Detroit, sho would not leave her husband ulone tor an instant. Such treatment made him despondent, and tho two retired together for tho night tho lady locking the door, and putting the key under her pillow. In the dead waste and middle ot the night, poor Mrs Messenger was awakened by feeling her husband fumbling for the key ; he was dressed and ready to depart. She sobbed and prayed, and the gentleman, apparent ly relenting, returned to his couch, when ins wile, having nrst hidden tlie key un der tho mattress, tied his wrists to hers with a handkerchief. The ludv watched for awhile, but tho drowsy god was too much for her, and when sho awoko she found that her restless husband had un tied himself, dressed, toro tho bed quilt into strips, and using these as a rope, had desconded from the window, re-entered the hotel, puid his half of the bill, taken his buggage and depurtod, leuving her ulouo in the wide, wide world. The Name Pennsylvania." The origin of the name of the State of l'ennsvlvaniu will be found in a let ter of William J onn, its loundcr, dated Junuury 5th, 1081, from which tho ful lowing is an extract : " This day, after many wutchings, waitings, soliciting and disputes in couu cil, my country has been confirmed to mo under the grout seal of England, with lurgo powers and privileges, by the name of Pennsylvania a name the king would irive it in honor of my father. I chose New Wules, being a hilly country j and when the secretary, a Welshman, refused U call it New Wales, I proposed Sylvania, and thev added Pcnn to it; though I was much opposed to it, and went to the kiug to have it struck out. He said it was past, and he would not take it upon him; for I feared it ought be looked upon as vauity in me, and not as a respect in the i .i... . II.. " mug iu my juiuur, iw iiicuujr Q3T Lorenzo Dow was onco preaching in the eastern purt ot Connecticut to crowded house, the season being mid winter and the weuther extremely cold. During tho sermon the members of the conureuution would make frequent visits to the stove to warm up; the old man stood the interruptions until forbearance ceased to be a virtue: stopping in the middle of a sentence he said. "Those who have holes in their stockings may now go to the stove aud warm their feet. Ho was annoyed no more during the service. Cheer Him. In one of our large cities, a fire broke out in a lofty dwelling. ' It was near mid night, and the flames had mado headway before they were discovered. The fire companies rallied, but the smoke had be- como so thick that the outlines of the house were scarcely visible, and the fiery clement was raging with fearful power, when a piercing cry thrilled all hearts, as they learned thnt there was one person yet unsaved within tho building. In a moment a ladder was swung through tho flames and planted against the heated walls, and a brave fireman rushed up its rounds to the rescue. Overcome by smoke, and perhaps daunted by the hissing flumes beforo him, he halted nnd seemed to hesitate. It was au awful scene. A life hung in tho bal ance, and each moment was an age. " Cheer hun I shouted a voice from tho crowd, and a wild ' hurruh 1" burst liko a tempest from tho beholding multi tude. Thut cheer did the work, and tho bravo fireman amid smoke, and flame, iu it moment, descended with the rescued ono in Ins arms. Friend, brother, when you see a brave soul battling with temptation, struggling under the cross, rushing forward to res cue dying men, and yet faltering in an hour of weakness or a moment of peril, then " cheer him !" And as a pebble's fall may change a river's course, so your words of sympathetic kindness may up lift a drooping heart, and fix its faltering purpose for a noble life The Wife. It is astonishing to seo how well a man may live on a small income who has handy and industrious wile, borne men live and make a far better appear ance on six or eight dollars a week thun others on sixteen or eighteen dollars. The man docs his part well, but his wife is good tor nothing, bho will even up braid her husband for not living in as good stylo as his neighbor, whilo tho fault is entirely her own. II is neighbor has a neat, capable and industrious wife, and that makes the difference. His wife, on the other hand, is a whirlpool into which a great many silver oups might be thrown, and the appearance of the water would not be changed. JNo rucholus tho Diver is there to restore the treasure. It is only an insult for such a woman to talk to nor husband about her love and devotion. Both Astonished. Once upon a time there was a Yankees topsail schooner on its wuy to Leghorn, which encountered an English noble man's yacht on a pleasure cruise in tho Mediterranean. John Bull bantered tho Yankee for a trial of speed, and tho Yaukeo " suiled" John .Bull almost "out of sight." Milor was greatly astonished at this result, and invited the victorious skipper to come on board and join him in a bottlo ot wine I he invitation was ac cepted, and us they sat opposite to each other, tho Englishman generously pro posed Brother Jonathan's health, adding, " 1 say, captain, this is the hrst timo my yacht was ever beaten, you know ! " Wul," said the Yankee captain, " that's kinder swgler, for I vow this is tho hrst time my craft ever beat anything." JSTThe Norristown (Pa.) lkrald says: " A most singular instance ot a care of a bird for her young occurred a few days sinco on the farm of Samuel K. Stout, of Plymouth township, who witnessed the circumstance, and vouches for its ae curacy. He was cutting grass with the machine, and camo upon a hen partridge seated upon her nest, which did not stir until almost touched by the cutter. 1 hero were seventeen eggs iu the nest, and upon Mr. Stout's returning to the spot an hour or two after, twelve ot them were missing. Surprised ut tho circumstances, Mr. Stout aud a companion retired littlo distance, aud watched the pareut bird take tho eggs, ono by ono, iu her claws, aud fly some distuuca with them In this manner she removed them two fields off, having to cross two five-rui fences at every journoy, and breaking but two ot the seventeen. ttelf A skenticul young collegiun con frouted an old Quaker with the stutement thut he did not believe in the Bible, bald the Quaker : " Docs thou belicvo in Erunce V " Yes, though I nevor seen it, I huve seen others who havo; besides there is plenty ot proof that such a place does exist.

Cocoa nnd Chocolate. T "WERE are thrco species of shrubs or trees having names so similar as to bo mistaken, but so dissimilar in charac ter that neither themselves nor their pro ducts are ever confounded Tho Coca is bush, not unliko our thorn in form and ppearancc, found in somo parts of South mcricu. I he Cocoa is a species ot t'ulm, Inch grows in most tropical countries from fifty to eighty feet high, und has been known for ages as producing the !ocoa-nut. The Cacao is a very different tree, growing from twelve to twenty feet n height, an evergreen, a native ot Anier ca, tho product of which was never known in Europe till about the year 1520, hen it was introduced by the Spaniards om Mexico. The name is more com monly written Cocoa (which Webster says a corruption of Cacao), and the t,ocoa Commerce, of which Chocolato is made, is the product of this tree ; whilo, on the other hand, Cocoa matting is made, from tho fiber of the palm or cocoa-nut ree. tins (Jocoa or Uhocolato tree bounds in South America, and somo of . the West India Islands. It grows wild, but is also extensively and profitably cul- vated. I ho product is a truit some what resembling our cucumber, somo five or six inches long, and three or more thick in tho smaller species, but much ncreased in size in the larger. The fruit contains from ten to forty or fifty seeds, -arranged in rows within a sweet pulp much like our watermelon. The fruit' matures twice in tho year, in June and December, and is chiefly valuable for he.se seeds, though the pulp is also used r food. i he seeds, slightly acrid, and ' itter in taste, are sometimes prepared for market by being simply dried in the ' sun ; but more frequently they are placed n lurgo tubs, or buried in pits in the earth, that they may ferment and so part with a portion ot the bitter taste, atter which they arc sun-dried and subsequent- ly roasted like coffee. This process caus es the shell to break and readily peel way; the body of tho seed also breaks und, when pressed a little, separates into irregular pieces not unlike our split beans. These are called " nibs," and are separa ted from the shells by winnowing. The shells are tho article from which the well- known drink of our tables, which we . also call " shells," is mado. They consti tute from ten to fifteen per cent, of the whole weight, and contain only tho smull cst proportion of tho peculiar properties of the cocoa seed. The " nibs" are tho purest form in which cocoa can be pur chased, it being impossible to adulterate them without detection. The article known as cocoa which we buy, ought to be made by simply grinding these nibs between heated stones and pressing tho whole oily product into a mould whore it will cool; but of course in this process there is opportunity for much adultera tion. Chocolate also ought to be made by simply mixing pure cocoa paste with such flavoring extracts us each maker may choose. The ancient Aztecs used vanilla and different spices, and attained great skill iu making this, which was their fa vorite beverage. The pure article, how ever, is invigorating, containing much the same nutritive qualities as milk, and also an astringent principle which gently excites the nerves, and retards the waste of the tissues liko the similur principle in tea and collue, only the excitement ot the latter is more marked than that of chocolate Chocolato is doubtless more healthful. Our importations of cocoa, though largo, do not compare with thoso of tea or coffee. Of tea we imported in the year ending June 30th, 51,301,919 lbs.; of coltee, S'l,)mm lbs., while ot cocoa we imported only 'i,4ib,inS lbs. How to See Under Wuter. A correspondent of the Scientific American says : I onco had occasion to examino tho bottom of a mill-pond, for which I constructed a float out ot inch plank, sufficient to buoy mo up ; through the centre of this flout I cut a hole, and placed a blanket over it, when I was cn ubled to clearly discover objects on tho bottom, and several lost tools were dis covered and picked up. I am satisfied thut, where wuter is suflicently clear, this lutter plan could be successfully used searching for lost bodies and articles. I would now suggest that this experiment be tried on the sea, for I am satisfied that, with a craft like the Great Eastern, where an observatory could bo placed at the bot tom, with sufficient darkness by the aid of glasses, we could gaze down into the depths ot the sea, the same as we can survey the starry heuven at miduight. Inventive Lads. A countrymun living in Tennessee, whero forests and game are plenty, says that his boys, who all have a gun apiece, became short of percussion caps a few days ago, and the first thing he knew they were shooting with match heads as a substitute. How many boxes of matches he lost in that way he did not say, but he found that they fired as clear as the cap itself. It is said that necessity is the j mother of invention.
