ITENTEI Few things are so common. now-a-days, as steam and its applioat ion to manufite tuFing and locomuti e purposes: and _yet I few thin g s ,me.so p;,orty understood. Let.; the yiestimi rb,posetl to a mixed com pany of persons or all ages and uccapa tions, - What are the babbles which rise through boiling water filled with:" and nine out of ten or them will answer at rhey are tilled with air." And the s4me large majority will insist upon it , that the white dotal which issuses from the nose of the to and the whistle I of the locumoti e is steam. Now both these ideas are wrong. The rising bubbles are full of steam, ..and the White vitaid IS auttery Vapor. It was. once steam, it is true, but it is now steam nu longer. It has already returned to water, whence it came. It is the nature of water, when exposed to a high degree of heat, to change sud denly from a liquid state to the form of 11.11 invisible gaseous fluid, which we cull steam. As cold changes water into ice, so heat prudtices a like wonderful trans f‘irmation. changing water into un invisi ble gas, s‘ high IS, in many respects, entire lv unlike its origin. Water is heavy steam is light : Vu ater is visible: steam is iu‘isible,--Just as imisible as air. Wa ter is nonelastic; steam is in the highest, degree elastic: steam is rare. A small tlomblefull of water will make a large pailful of steam. When an atom of water lying at the bottom of a kettle is exposed to 212 de grees of heat. it is instantaneously changed to steam, and occupies nearly two thou sand times as large a space as it did before. A•; Satan in the Garden of Eden, croneh ing like a toad at the ear of sleeping Eve, sprang instantly into the stately propor tions of a gigantic man at the touch of Nutrias spear, so the tiny particles of water, tinder the magical influence of heat. r wide lily leap from their bumble form into great, hissing bubbles of steam. These, on account of their superior light ness, begin at once to struggle upwards out of their wattery grave. This great expansion and rapid rising readily explain the violent agitation of boiling water.

Torrents of liquid fire have sometimes burst from the earth and overwhelmed ' the adjacent country, in a manner some- , what different from the common erup tions of volcanoes; and are called Fire- Spotrts. Iu 1783, three tire-spouts broke , out in Iceland, in the province of Slum- 1 tertian. Signs of the eruptions were per ceived on the that of dune; the earth be-' glinting to tremble, and a con tin tial smoke or steam arising from it. On the eighth of June the fire became visible, and the atmosphere was tilled with sand, brim stone and ashes, in such a manner as to occasion continual darkness. The three different tire-spouts, in a short time, uni ted into one, and rolled its billows of flame so high as to be seen at the distance of more than two kindred miles; the whole country, for tlouble that distance, being covered with a smoke or steam not to be described. The torrent of tire took its course first down, and- then up the channel of the river Skapta. and entirely consumed or dried up its waters: at length coining to the hill, in which the river had its source, the fiery deluge rose to a pro-. digious height, and overflowed the village of Buland, which was situated upon the top of the hill; consuming the houses,' church, and everything that stood in its way. tt still increased, spreading itself out in length and breadth for many miles, drying up other rivers besides the Skapta, overflowing a number of villages and con verting a large tract of country into a sea of tire. It continued its dreadful pro gress. in different directions, till the thir teenth of August ; after which the fiery lake no longer spread itself, but neverthe less cAintinned to burn for some length of time. The smoke reached us far us the island of Great Britain, where, during the whole summer of 1;83, an obscurity pre % ailed throughout all parts of that island : the atmosphere appearing to be covered with a continual haze, which prevented the son from appearing with his usual splendor.—Brit.

There is no caviling at the tact or pretending to gnore it, but the moderately dressed wife and mother is fast disappearing from our homes. The domestic daughter has long since become a myth, and in her place we have a creature of hair and humps—waist-hips, Grecian-bend, high heeled, ehignoncil young hidy, who laughs loud and talks fast, and writes herself "Marie" or "Julie," and who is a complete success in doing nothing, except the slang literature of the day. I think the reason young men do not marry is because girls have ceased to be domestic, and spend a great deal of money I.IIV . m;717,11 - t .. T1 .. t iy -' ; they must go out, dress and ride. and fre quent places of amusement: have suppers an d bonnets, and receive adulation. It costs a great deal of money, which the young man farnishes, and he never gets ahead enough to marry; so they repent. and try their luck over again. It is the easiest thing in the world to do with less luxury, but it involves a little self-saeri fiee and economy, and these virtues are fast becoming exotica Fully one-half of the girls who are now filling situations in stores, offices, etc., go there in the first place in order to he able to dress better. They live in plain but comfortable homes, and must help with the housework or the children of their own kin; but they hear glowing accounts of the city ; they want the finery drat is denied them, ana.they want to g o from those peaceful home lives, from t he kind guardianship of parents. to the toil and temptation of the ten-hour system. They go plain country girls. with modest, blush ing cheeks and smooth, shining hair, they stay there a year or two, and their checks are pule and their hair is frizzed. They have lost the gaucherie of blushing, and are had at repartee. They dregs somehow and live somehow ; but they have hours of degptonleney that make them old.

TflE won IT E•: FLOW EEL—Gustains, Berman, and Ma!vine, the blooming ebil dren of a farmer. were rambling on a beautiful spring day over the fields. The nightingales and lark sang, and the flow ers unfolded in the dew and the mild rays of the sun. And the children looked around for joy and jumped from one flower to another, and wn-athed garlands. And they praised in songs the glory of spring, and the love of the Omnipotent lather, who clothes the earth with grass and flowers, and sung of the flowers, from the rose that grows on the bush, to the vi olet that blooms in retirement, and the heather flower from which the bees gather sweets. Fur pions simplicity cif heart welcomes even the small gifts of nature with grati tude and joy. Then the children addressed each other. Let every one of us select his favorite flower ? And they were pleased with the proposition, and they bounded over the field, each one to cull the flower that de lighted him most. We will come' togeth er again in the bower, cried they. Thus the children rambled in harmo ny their different ways to collect the beau tiful. A lovely flower gathring ! In a short time all the three appeared on their way to the bower. Each one bore in his hand a full nosegay, selected from his favorite flower. When they saw one another. they held up their flowers, and cried aloud for joy. Then they assembled in the bower, and closed it with one con sent, and said, now every one shall give his reasons fur the choice of his nosegay 1 Gustavus, the oldest, had selected the violet. Behold, said he, it blooms in si lent modesty among stubble and gnu* and its work is as well concealed as the gentle productions and blessings of spring. But it is honored and loved by man, and sung in beautiful songs, and every one 'ffurftii L rO'vbirilDLOVAS first born eltiiil of spring, and the flower of modesty. These are the reasons why I have selected it as my favorite flower. Thus spake (tustav us, and gave Her man and Malvina, each. one of his flow ers, Ind they received them with in ward joy. For it was favorite flower of a hn,ther, Then Herman came forward with his nosegay. It was composed of the tender field lily, which grows in the cold shade of the grove, and lifts up its bells, likepearls strung together . and white as the light of the sun. See, said lie, I have chosen this flower. For it, is an emblem of innoconee and of a pure heart, and it proclaims-tome the love of him who adorns heaven with stars and the earth with flowers. Wasnot the lily of the field estimated more highly than others flowers, to give testimony to the paternal love of llim, in whom every thing lives and moves ? Behold for these reasons I nave selected the small lily as my favorite flower I , - Thus spoke Herman, and presented his dowers. And the other two received them with sincere joy and reverence. And thus the flower was consecrated. Then came ll:Avian, also, the pious, lovely girl, with the noscgav she hadgath ered. It was composed of the tender blue forget me not See, dear brothers, said the affectionate sister, this flower I found near the brook I Truly it shines like a bright star in heaven, and views itself in th.i clear water, on whose margin it grows and the rivulet flows more ; sweetly along, and appears as if it were .crowned with wreaths. Theretoro it is the flower of love and tenderness, and I have chosen it as my favorite, and present it to you both. She gave it toiler brothers with a kiss, and likewise witlt a kiss the brothers thanked her. And the guardian angelof the children smiled at this lovely league of innocence. Thus-the favorite flowers were selected. Then Malvina said, we will twist them into two garlands, and dedicate them to oar beloved parents And they make two garlands of the beautiful flowers, and carried their whole enterprise, and the choice of their favorites. Then the parents rejoiced over their good children, and said : A beautiful wreath! Love, innocence, and modesty, twined together ! See how one flower ele vates and adorns the other, and thug they form unitedly the most lovely crown lint there is one thing limiting, said the children, and in the excitement of gratitude they crowned both father and mother.
