he intended this strict discipline for what
he called try 'highest good: When I was
fifteen my mother died, and I was sent to

my father's frigid tuition, but the persua

Morris lured me to commit ninny a hard

many an irksome task. My father was
well satisfied with my progress, and I was
returned for the second year. But, alas,
during this year 1 learned a lesson not to
be found in books, and at its close found
myself betrothed to Raymond 'Morris. I
ilia not dream of my father's displeasure ;
but he was indignant that we had plight

sin could have been more unpardonable
in his eves, and Raymond was forbidden
his house. Still I contrived ways of meet

STEAM.

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.;

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,

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.
It has been said above that this great
change takes place at the temperature of
21.2 degrees. hut this d :gyve of heat is
twt constant. It VariCB w lute
fact. of the wan. Tra‘ulers %%110 make
their way to lofty mountain-tops, Illiere
the pressure of the air is notch less than
at the level of the sea, find that water
boils at a much lower dro - ret: of heat.
Cooks tall us that on soireeLys the tea
kettle will boil mach quicker, and that
the water in the pot where meat is cook
' l u g will boil away much faster than ou
other days. On such days the barometer
; would show that the pressure of the air is
comparatively light. If a dish of boiling
water is remeved front the fire and allowed
to cool for a short time, it will twain cow

' the partially exhausted receiver of an air
, pump. Or, if some water is boiled over
a lamp in a thin glass bottle, then re
move from the fire and closely corked.
it may again be set to boiling by pouring
cold water upon the bottle.
To understand the reason of this, it
must be remembered that steam remains
stunt only so long as its temperature is
' kept up to 2t2 degrees. The moment it
is cooled lielow that degree it returns to
water again as quickly as it was before
changed to steam. This is Lulled con

inre,Spouts.
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

'Wli Marriage toi Dying Out.
Much of the careless morality of the
present day is owing to the way in which
women dress. 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

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. It
is one struggle with labor and temptation,
and how they preserve their integrity God
only knows.

VOLUME XXVII, NUMBER 7.
Translated from the Fable.; of Dr. F. IL Krum
The Angel who sends the flowers, and in
the stilly night sprinkles them with the
dew. slumbered on a spring day, in, the
shade of a rose bush. And when he
awoke. with plaeid countenance he said :
" My lordliest child, I thank thee for thy
reviving fragrance and thy cooling shade.
Could thou yet seek any thing more for
thyself, how cheerfully would 1 grant it."
l'hen grace me with some new
charms." replied the spirits of the rosebud.
And the Angel of flowers adorned the
loveliest of them with the simple moss.
Beautifully then it stood in modest
krace, the Nii)ss !lose, the loveliest of its
ind.
Fair C'aroline, set not thy liemi on the
spangled attire and glittering diamond,
but follow the beck of maternal nature.
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

of modesty. These are the reasons why I
have selected it as my favorite flower.
Thus spake (tustav us, and gave Her

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

the affectionate sister, this flower I found

and the rivulet flows more ; sweetly along,
and appears as if it were .crowned with

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.
Then the parents became agitated with
joy, and embraced their children tenderlyl
and said, a garland like this is more splen
