The tunes that the voice of girlhood sune:, The chords that we loved full well When hopes were buoyant, hearts were young, When fairy hells in the flower-cups sung, And ever fell from a maiden's tongue The words of a witching spell.

BREAKING UP A SETTING BEM "Timothy, that air faller hen's settin' :gin," said Mrs. Hayes to Ler son, one morning at breakfast. Well, let her set," remarked Timo thy, helping 'himself to a large piece of cheese, " I reckon I c m Anil it as long as he can." "I do wish you would try to be a little equinomical t 8 cheese, Timothy ; I've cut the very last of my every day lot, end Ws only the first of May. And now as soon as soon as you've done eating I want you to go out and break up that hen. She's setting on an old ax and two bricks now." " I hope she'll hatch 'mu," returned Timothy. " If she was set now, she'd hatch the fourth week in May. It's a bad sign ; something oilers 1 .9.F..n0 . g i gg ling, Helen Maria, by the time you gm, to ide as old as your ma, ye'll see Inr ther than you do now.

That w ws all that saved her life." Wish sue ), a startling proof of the truth nud th e amen before him, Timothy finish- . e d his breakfast in haste and departed for the barn, from which he soon returned bearing the squalling biddy by the legs. What shall I do with her, mother ? She'll get on again, and she's cross as bed lam-411s skinned my hands, and would be the death of rue if she cou'd only g( t loo9e." •' I've heer'n it said that it was a good plan to throw 'em up in the air," said Mrs. Hayes. "Aunt Peggy broke one of setting:oly three times trying. Spose'u you try "Up she goes, head or - tall" cried- Timothy, as he tossed the volcano sky ward. • " Laud-o-massy," exclaimed Mrs. IL, "she's coming down on the pan of bread that I set out on the great rock to rise! Tim, it's strange that-you can't do noth ing without, overdoing it." "Down with the traitors, np with the stars," sang out Tim, eleva - .:rtg biddy again with'something less thaw' a pint of batter hanging to her feet. . "Good gracious me, WEISS and wnss," cried Mrs. Hayes ' and Tin} agreed- with her, tor the hen h ad comedown, on the well polished ti:e of Esquire 13enretriwito happened to be passing, and the dikuifit a old gentleman was the-fatter.:otl4nthia Bennett, the-young lady with whom - Tim was seriously eniniored • • - " The Squire looked daggers, brushed off the dough with his handkerchief' and I strode On in silence.

Mr.lanies Renshaw. Helen entered the room just ea the true , „ cillef bad been donei , and viewing in,aho at once laid it to her brother Tim othy. She heard his step behind her,and the nnfortnnate,hen . she flung full in his . face. There was a .smothered oath, and the hen eaine back with the force of a twenty pound shot. Helen was mad. Her eyes were nearly put out with the feathery dust and dough, and she went at Timothy with a true fem inine zeal. She broke his watchguard in a dozen ; pieces, crushed his dickey, and began to pull his whiskers out by the roots; when suddenly she remembered that Timothy had no whiskers to pull out by the roots. But when title came to look closer, she perceived the man she had nearly annihi lated was not Timothy, but James Hen- sha w. Poor lielen burst into tears and fled in to her chamber, the usual refuge for hero ines; and James, after washing his face at the kitchen sink, went home, sternly resolved never to marry a woman with such a temper as Helen ILiyes had. The hen, meanwhile, whb is the hero ine, returned to the barn to establish her self on the ruin of her nest, deters ined to set if t he heavens fell. • Mrs. Hays sqpn discovered her, and she having heard that dipping, in water would cure '• broodiness," she set. forth for the brook with the lbw' in her apron. Mrs. Weaver, an old lady of very quar relsome temperament, who resided near, and was at sword's points with Mrs. Hays, was just coining to the brook for a pail of water, and spied the yellow head of the bird peeping out from Mrs. Hayes' apr'on. " There !" she exclaimed, "Now I've found out what puzzled me to death nigh a week. I've found out where that yel low pullet has gone to. Mrs. Ilayes,4 al lars kuowed you was a wicked, deseatful woman, but I didn't .think you'd areal." " Steal ! me steal ! Who are you talk ing to, Mrs. Weaver ?" salt: Mrs. Hayes on her dignity. "I'm talking to you, madam, that's who I'm talking to. You've stolen my hen what I got of Uncle Gilliea, and paid for in sa , sengers. She's a real Dorking. Dice her to me right away or I will use force." Dlhe's my lien, and you touch her if vou dare !" " I'd show . you what I dare!'' yelled Mrs. Weaver, growing purple, and seiz ing the . id-starred fowl by the tail, she o wreneh and ;. 11:311a. The sudden cessation of resistance up set Mrs. Weaver's balance, and she fell b9Award into the brook, spattering the mud and astonished polliwogs in every direction. She was a spry woman and was soon on her feet again ready to renew the-as sault. " Give me my hen,", she cried,-thrusting her fist into Mrs. Hayes' face, "you old hag and hypocrite you!" and she made .a second dive at the bird. The hen thought it proper to show her colors, and trtiering an unearthly yell, she flew out of the covert square into thelace of Mrs. Weaver, which she raked down with her bails until it resembled the page of a ledger, crossed and recrossed with, red ink. Mrs. Hayes caught a stick of brush wood from • the fence—Mrs. Weavee did the same, and a regular duel would prob :,bly have been fought if the bank of the creek had not-suddenly gave way and pre cipitated both the beligerant women into the water. Tin y scrambled out on opposite sides, and the hen sat perched in an apple-tree and cackled in triumph. • The ladies shook themselves, and by consent went -home. They have not spcw ken "since. The hen disappeared and was not seen until three weeks afterwards, when She made her appearance with eleven nice yelloW chickens. She found some other fowl's nest and had set in spite of fate. But although not "broken up" herself she broke up two mathes—for Cynthia Bennett was not at home the next time' Timothy called, and Mr. Henshaw never foygaye Helen for having such a temper. • How Burglars Operate on Safes. A.inontli or two ago we remarked that thi exploits of the London - burglars upon; thC premises of Mr. Walker, the jeweler, and,-the. subsequebt trial between Mi. %%Talker. and Messrs. -Milkier, have led to great : lllms being put, forth by the safe makers to increase the security, of their wares. Since that time as many as for ty,patents liave been . got out bfsafe ma kers, all with the view to increase the ability Orthe safe's to rei.ist the attaCksOf burglars. Wer have just seen 'a safe that has been conk:meted on (Me of these pat ents. it was produced by a Wolverhamp ton firm-that of Itir. George Price, of the Cleveland Works—and , by the time this appears' in 'print; it will' be on tho premises of the t purchaser; 'in 'Lonikin. it has been. bought byllin Johnson, joir. eler, of • Tbreadneeille' 'qtreet, %Ow .wiasi robbed, of prOperty worth about , 4;000 poands, in lso4, by a party of- burglars known as Scotty's" gang. The ability with which the burgiank;opboed :the safe io the. Steel''' . Office at MaaCheeter; *ad MONTROSE, PA., TUESDAY, OCT. 23, 1866. --- - stole property worth .£7:000 lately, hati shown that the thieves have improved in• their method of attack since the robbery at Mr. Walker's. In 'the opening of Mr. Walker's safe, no drill wa.s Used, bat the outside band was forced partly away from the left hand side of the safe, sufficiently to allow the point of the crow bar to en ter and bite under the door plate. With the stamp Office safe, however, the bur glars first drilled a piece out of the point of outside band, at the extreme left hand corner, over the door. They then cut the piece so drilled square, which exposed the back of the door plate, behind which they drove their first wedge, Or chisel'. Next theyfdreed another wedge a few inches from the first, but against the face of the outside band, which brought away the door plate sufficiently to allow the crow, bar to be got at the back of the door, as with Walker's safe, and with one wrench the door was opened. We examined the safe after the robbery, and, with the ex• ception of the piece—about one inch by half an inch—cut out of the outside band =scarcely a mark was observable on the exterior. In respect of the new safe which has been rent from Wolverhamp ton, "the object of the maker seems to have . bees to construct one, without any additional mechanism to the ordinary safe, so that it shall be impossible for a burglar to insert a wedge around any portion of the doOr at, all Irly making a safe wedge proof, it is also crow bar proof, as the latter instrument is of no value without a bite and a fulcrum; Mr. .Price.'s doors be- ing case hardened ; lie had only to carry the principle a little lnrther and case har den the frame into which the door fits.

It will be-needless to remark, perhaps that no apple will keep late, by any pro cess of packing that, has been bruised or injured in picking. Apples should be handled carefully, and the less moving about, after having been picked, the bet ter. A large part of the fruit grown and sold in market, has been so injured by careless gathering, pouring into barrels and rough handling while being driven to market, that it soon decays under what ever treatment it may be subjected for the purpose of keeping.— Union Herald. A correspondent of the Country Gen tleman, on the same subject says : " You ask for the experience of others in refer ence to packing apples. My experience is that apples should be kept in a dry building until quite cold weather; then very carefully picked over and headed in an air tight barrel and removed to a cool cellar. They will keep better than any other treatment I have ever tried. A cellar for keeping fruit should be well drained, but should not have the bottom made of hydraulic cement. Cement pre vents evaporation, and as the coolness of a cellar is caused by evaporation mainly it is important that nothing be done to prevent this. they are placed in great baskets, wadded at the bottom and sides with loose wool, where they cluster and move and get on each other like tray fish in a fisherman's basket. As fast as possible they are placed in long white boxes, divided into two unequal portions. The small portion is occupied by the hen chicken, and it is divided from the larger portion by wide bars which allow the pheasants to come and go at will, but keeps the brooding hen from Weir food, which is placed at the further end of the box. This, food is rare, and even in so vast a forest as Fon tainbleau, it cannot be obtained in suffi cient puantities. It is ant's eggs. Every morning before daybreak, the two egg hunters go in light carts to ant bills in the forest and open them with a trowel. They take all the eggs they find in them, and sit them od their return home. Once every fortnight the same mit' hills will af ford a supply of eggs, but as each egg hunter is expected to bring 'home daily two hundred quarts of eggs, a great ma ny ant hills are necessarily visited every morning. This hunt is extremely annoy ing. The ants; whose castle is invaded and sacked, sally forth in numbers and sting the hunters, pouring into the puncture formic acid (that acid more corrosive than vitro', and which the modern chemists can make with sugar) which irritates the epidermis in a painful manner. The young pheasants' require, in addition to the four hundred quarts of ant's 'eggs brought by the egg bunters, one hundred quarts of porridge, which is made of hard boiled eggs, meal, and some other ingre dients, all chopped- fine. The imperial pheasantry at Foutdinblean annually pro duces 0,000 pheasants, 1,500 g ray pat ridges, and 600 Chinese patrid ges,'' Cali fornia colins, silver and golden pheasants. While•the pheasants are under the care at four o'clock mashed boiled potatoes are distributed to them. At the appointed hour the whole lawn of the preserve is covered with silver, golden, red, ordinary and Chinese pheasants, patridges, colins, presenting a most animated and interes ting spectacle. But this feeding by band and this food domesticates the bird and destroys his game flavor and makes shoot ing such wild fowl as tame as a barnyard massacre.—Letter from Parial Lost Arts. In regard to colors we are far behind the ancients. Noue of the colors in the ,Egyptian paintings of thousands of years ago are not in the least faded, except the green. The Tyrian purple of tte entomb ed city of Pompeii is as fresh to day as it was those thousand years ago. Some of the stucco, painted ages before the Chris tian era, broken np and mixed, reverted to its original lustre. And yet we pity the ignorance of the dark skinned chil dren of the ancient Egypt. The colors upon the walls of Nero's festal vault are as fresh as if painted yesterday. So is the cheek of the Egyptain prince who was contemporaneous with Solomon, and Cle opatra at whose feet Cmsar laid the rich es of his empire. And in regard to metals. The edges of the statues of the obelisks of Egypt, and of the ancient walls of Rome, are as sharp as if but hewn yesterday. And the stones still remain so closely fitted that their seams, laid with mortar, cannot be penetrated with the edge of a penknife. And their surface is exceedingly hard, so hard that when the French artists en graved two lines upon the obelisk bro't from Egypt, they destroyed, in the tedi ous task, many of the best tools which can be manufactured. And yet these an cient monuments are traced all over with inscriptions placed upon them in olden times. This, with other facts of a stri king character, prove that they were far more skilled in metals than we are. Quite recently it is recorded that when an Amer ican vessel was on the shores of Africa a son of that benighted region made from an iron hoop, a knife superior to any on board of the vessel, and another made a sword of Damascus excellence from a piece of iron. Fiction is very old; Scott had his coun terpart two thousand years ago. A story is told of a warrior who had no time to wait for the proper forging of his weapon, bat - aeixed it red hot, rode forward, but round- zo Ins surprise that the cool air had tempered trl. -. weapon. The tempering of steel there fore, which waanew to us a century since, was old two thousand years ago. Ventilation is deemed a modern art. But this is not the fact, for aperture, un questionably made for the purpose of ventilation, are found in the pyramid tombs of Egypt. Yet thousands of years ago the barbarous Pagans went so far as to ventilate their tombs, while we yet scarcely know how to ventilate oar hou ses. Railway Over the Alps. The pass over Mont Cenis, joining the festilt fields of Sardinia and Savoy, has always been the favorite of alpine passes. Although the military route for ages, the road was in a deplorable condition till, by the enterprise of Napoleon, a substantial carriage way was constructed at an ex pense to the government of seven million francs. Piot a number 'of years past this road; in connectioa with the French and Italian railroads and the Adriatic steam ers, has formed the most direct Eindittlie ditions mail route to India and the East. The stow and tedious mountain passage, originated the project of completing the missing link of railviay communication by tunneling the MO. Whether this gigantic undertaking will ever be completed, admits of doubt. In the meantime, a company has been star ted with the design of accomplishing this same object by constructing a railroad over the summit of the mountain. Mr. Fell, an English engineer, read an interesting paper on the subject before the British Association, and his state ments' eave no dotibt as to the feasibility of the plan. Both the French and Italian governments favor the' enterprise: opera tions have already begun, and iu all prob ability the road will be completed by March next. From the difficulties to be overcome, the work must fairly be ranked as one of the greatest in the records of engineering. The inclines to- be traversed by this road—without exception the steepest ev er attempted—require a special construc tion both in the railway itself and-locomo tive. The variations of climate during the year—always no important consideration in allowing for adhesion, or bite of the driving wheels on the rail—constitute here an important element, and necessi tates the employment of a third or center rail. By this means not only is the prop er amount of adhesion produced, but the additional advantage is obtained of fur nishing means for applying an increased amount of brake power, and also prevent ing all possibility of either car leaving the track. The engines and-carriages :have•eaol4 is addition to the usual, vertical:V.4oo4par.

' This principle of obtaining the adheiditt required, in order to develOp traCtivi i force on railways, is equally applicable to an, even much steeper . gradient, than any found on the Mont Cents road, and that consistently with the economical expense . of mechanical power. Court was in session, and amid the mai-. tiplicity of business which crowded upon a Sheriff at term time, he was led to the door of a beautiful widow, who, by the' wayohad often bestowed melting glance* on the aforesaid Sheriff. He was admit ted, and the widow appeared. The con fusion and fright which the arrival of her' visitor occasioned, set off to greater ad vantage the—captivatinc , charms of the. widow M. Her cheek are the beautiful blended tints of the apple blossom ; her lips resembled the rose-buds, upon which the morning dew yet lingereyl, and her eyes were like the quivers of Cupid; and glances of love and tenderness with which they were filled, resembled arrows which only invited a "beau" (pardon the.pun), to do full execution. Atter a few com mon-place remarks : "Madam," said the matter-of-fact Sher iff, " I have an attachment for yofl." A deeper blush than usual mantled the cheeks of the fair widow,while the, glance of her downcast eyes was centered upon her beautiful foot, which, half °encoded by flowing drapery, patted the floor. She with equal candor replied : " Sir, the attachment is reciprocal:" For some time the Sheriff maintained an astonished silence, and at length said : "Madam, will you proceed to court?" " Procee d to court," replied, the lady, with a merry laugh ; then shaking her head, she said : "No, sir, though this is leap year, I will not take advantage therein granted to my sea t and therefore greatly prefei that you should proceed to court." "But, madam, the justice is waiting": , "Let him wait; I am not disposed so, harry matters, and besides, sir, whettibi ceremony is performed, I wish you to-tinv derstand. that I greatly prefer a minister; to ajustice of the peace."
