Io a ooauh which was windins its
way in the interior of Vermout, was a
daudy or swell, whniu we shall cull
Miuhos. lie evidently considered him
self a man of great importance fur
superior in every respect to hia oouutry
travelling companions lor tlio reason
muiuly that be hailed from "New
Vawk."
Duiinc the conversation which
currcd, of which bo was the chief:

ho had often heard of the 'cutciicst ol
Yiinkeo tricks; but as none of the
latter had ever eomo under his obsei -
v , t i o 1 1 , he wits ijiuto willing to oiler
himself us a subject lor uny tiling of llio ;
kind."
Among- lLo pnssngors was a boy
some fourteen years of age, who was
returning from school to spend the va.
cation at homo. Though he hud been
termed a ''greeuhoro'' by Snubbs, yet
ho was a bright, though tuodoat little
fellow, nnd un observant listener.
Snubbs proposed to diuo that day at
tho inu, iu Iho little village where the
boy resided. After which, he designed
to walk a distaueu ol two miles, to tbe
residence of 'Squire Smith, to whom
he had letters of iutroduetiou Near
the villiago was s luuutio asylum,
from which patients ooeasionally'iuade
tbelr escape, causing much alarm ia
the vicinity. After ihe utrival of tbe
conch at tho inn, tho boy took the
road to 'Squire Smith's, and Wormed
tho residouts nloug the way that a
luoatiu had etcaped from tho asylum ;
that lis was dospcruio,ii,od would knock
tho brains out of any person within his
reach. At tho fame time ho gavo sn

and personul appeurance of Snubbs,
and staled that he might more panic

way to 'Squiro Smith's,
After dinner Snubbs eallie J forth In
Ihe full possession of his ponderous
intcllcot, with caoo flourishing a la
baton, and with cigar in mouth. The
road to Smith1 was wludinif. The
landlord dirooied him a part of the way
and informed biiu that beyond nny of
tho inhabitants could pass hint slung.
ns all wore acquuiutod with 'Squire
Smith,
After traveling the distance, ho
halted at tho gats of a funn-houje, on
tbe sloop of which sat sn elderly lady
knitting, but who tad not obervJd his
approach
"Madam, whTyou pleaso inform mo
which is tbe right way to 'Squire
Smith's ?'
Tbe old lady looked up, aod for a
moment slartd in blank emasemcol.
The kuilting work-dropped, her appeks
foil from her forehead.
Good graoions r' she scrtanjod, as
sho flew iosido the bouse and bolted
tbs doors. Soon after she appeared at
a second-stury window, aod partially
raising tha sash, exolaiuiod
' Oi you poor uotortuoato eritter. do
go away from htro I lie sorry I do

Why, madam, I'm a ttraoger here;

0, yea, know all about it, Carpe,
now, Ibat't a good follow, do go away.
Uow your poor uothsr must (sal if she's
a-livln yet!"
Purtnor parley was useless ; Snubbs
was convinced that the woman was

A roir uf laughter followed.
Tho boy then briefly informed the

"My bouso wa situated on a glen.
some six miles distant from tho stage

lived was a pond six mile in, oircum

covered a nock of gotst as they were
just alighting ia the pond. Rising
early lbs next moruing, 1 built iny lire
iu luo liroptaco, uud taking down tlio
hootiugiron, 1 sturled lo the pond
to try my luck. Arriving on tho
shore I found to my sorrow that tlioy
were out of gun shot, nod to tire at tt)ut
distance would bo sheer folly. Whilo
I stooU eonisuipialtng what to do, a
fox earns down lo the water's edge
aud stood suuffiug tho air- My first
thought was to shoot him, but on re
flection I concluded to see what he
.vo'ild do. The fox in the mean lime
entered tho water and was swimming
for the geese, which were huddled
together ubout half a mile front tbe
shore. A'tar nyimmiug within a few
yards of thorn, bs suddenly tils-
appeared, and iu a few moments a
goose was drawu under water, thou
lloyuard returned on bis passngo and
landed his burden on the shore; then
returning again, brought anplhe.uotil
finally bo got tho whole floeli : and
when bs brought the last ono, shot
him. When I cams to pick .up the
geeao I found that I- bad til'ty good

ceived a letter. It was from tho army,
too ; from s stranger, in a slrango reg
itueut from a strange State. Sho wou
dvred wh it it could mean. Sho didn't
know wli.) tho writer was, but mndoj
up her mind no harm could result from
anawuiing hi letter, and consequent
ly did so.
Many letters followed. The soldier
was modest and elegant in his language,
and tho girl hud reason to respoct him.
Tho soldier's letters, after a while be
camo very interesting, and were looked
for anxiously by tho sowing-girl. Iiitto
with tlio soldier, llo whiled aw.iy many
an othet wise monotonous hour writinj
to bur. Many an otherwise gad and
lonely evening sho ploaaunlly paused
in scribbling to him. Ono ovettinj iu
Hdl. whilo on his way home on re
eulistment furlough, vho unknown
writer called at tho humble homo of
tho girl on Morgan street, and intro
duced himself. It would sound story
1iko to say tlioy both cumo to tli'1 con
clusiotl Ut the first meeting that they
ovud each other, but such is the truth
llo slayd in St. Louis several day
longer than ho intended. Ho cuuie
nnr forgetting thai he had mother,
father, brothers and sistors, with prior
claims upon his society, llo finally
went homo, but when bo relumed to
ths'field, ho returned via. St. Louis;
uud, whilo there, called nguio at the
litllo houso awny out on Morgan
si root.
llo returned to his rogimont at Iho
proper lime. Tho girl't letters then
were tho joys of his life. Without
them, camp lile would hnvo been uncn
durablo. Sho was quite as deeply in
tei'iistcd iu his effusions. Sho would
sit and saw for hours, and wou-lor if
ho would not wear some ol tho gar-
mcnta sho was making, und tliiuk if
sho woro certain lie would, how nice
sho would make them. No use of
lengthening out a short story. Souio
such state of affairs as described existed
until tho final tlisbandiug oftbo army.
At that timo ho did not rotura via.
tho city so dear to him, for tho treas
ure it held, lie went borne first, aud
wben be did go down, ho brought
away tho sewing-girl as bis wife.
Shortly nftcr tho ending of this cere
mony he explained to his blushing
bride bow he p roc u rod her address by
showing her a piece of eourso gray
flaunel with "Julia, Si. Louis,
Mo.," upon it. He was on Iowa Ed
itor, und now lives in l'olk county.
The same girl makes shirts for him yet,

A simple v atlier.latN.
This Utile instrument, says the
Jitunwl iifA'i'lint Vinni'stiy, is pro
paiod in tho following wny
Take a glass ubout ten inches in
lougtli, nud one inch in diameter, fill
it up with tbo following liquid : Two
parts camphor, oue part uilrsto of pot
ash, uud oiio part sal ammonia, ami
dissolve in spirits of wiuc, and add wa
ter until you have partially precipit
atod the camphor, 'i he extremity ol
the tube can bo left open or hermetic-
any J-wscu ii.o glass tube thus pre -
pared is then fixed iti n hori.ontal
positiou against tho wall or a board.
The changes in tho weather arc thus
indicated ;
1, If tho weather i to be fine, tbo
coruosition of the substance will re
main entirely at the bottom of the
tube, sud tbe above liquid will bo pci
fectly clear and transparent
'2. Hcforo the weather chnogca to
become rainy the prccipiuto will rise
by degrees, and small crysliliia'ions,
siiuilur iu shapo to stars, will be scoo
to movo ubout tho liquid.
H. When ti mono is imminent the
precipitate will rise to tho top of the
lube, assuming the shape of a leaf,
or nn assemblage of crystals j tbo liq
uid will appear to be iu n suite ofef
I'ervcrscensc. This ebunge very often
takes place twenty-four botirs before
tho change iu the weather.
4. The side from which tho wind
will blow iu ft squall will also lie indi
cated by tho particle oflho substance
floating iu tbo liquid, and usauiumg
iho khup ol long liutry neetlle.
D. iu summer time, tbo weather ba
iog warm aud dry, tbo crystslitutioo
w.'.x l)avo a U'Udeupy to reinuin lower
iu Ibo tube, aud the liquid will be
more trauspuront.
1 ho amount of q! prystaliaed parti
clcs that will be scon- floating in the
liquid will bo a sure sign or indicution
of line or bud weather, and will der
pond entirely upon tho suddaopss of
tbo cliaugo in tbo weather which is to
lake place, acting iu the most cocrgct
io way on tbp compoiiiou above d
tcribod.
The value of this simple instrument
to forewarn of sn impcodiog storai
and also to indicate tbo contiBuanceol

The Jews. Phi you ever think
how remarkable il is that a proplo su
long away front their native couutry,
and so wide? scattered among other'
peoples, should keep their original (rails
of character, their religious brl'rfs,
aud theii' genera) distinguishing I co
in res, so wholly unchanged? Tho
Jews in America, iu Chins, in K up
land, iu Kassiu, or Franco, believe to
day just as the Jews iu Jerusalem be
liercd long years since, anil look just
us they looked. Jews seldom uiairy
other than a Jewish church. They
cling to the nutinnuliiy as to something
sacred. Aud it is sacred in their
sight, (loco tbey thought themselves
the Lord s chosen people ; nnd ihey
think so still. To urn the blood of any
other people in thir veins is, in tlieires
