DON'T PROPOSE IN THE DARR. BY lilts. 31LTFORD The pretty farm-house standing at the corner where Kibes lane crosses the brook, or the brook crosses Ktbes Irmo (for the first phrase, although giving by far the closest picture of the place, does, it must be confessed; look rather Irish,) and where the aforsaid brook winds away by,the side of another lane, until it spreads Into river dignity as it meanders through the sunny plain of Hartly Common, and finally , disappears amid the green recesses of Perge Wood—that pretty tartar° farm. house, half hidden by the tail elms in the - flower court before it, which with spacious garden and orchard behind, and the ex tensive barns, yard, and ont-buildings, so completely occupies one of the angles formed by the crossing of the lane and the stream—that pretty farm house con tains one of the happiest and most pros perous families in Aberleigh—tho large and thriving family of farmer Evans. Whether from skill or good fortune—or, as is most probably from a lucky mixture of both—everything goes right on his farm. His crops are the best in the par ish ; his hay is never spoiled ; his cattle never die; his servants never thieve ,• • his children are never ill. He buys cheap, and sells dear; money gathers about him like a snow ball; and yet, in spite of all this provoking and intolerable prosperity, tverybotly loves farmer Evans. He is so hospitable, so good natured, so generous, so homely I There,after all,lies the charm. Riches have not only not spoiled the man, but they love not altered him. He is just the same in look, in ,word, and. way, that he was thirty years ago, when he and his wife with two sorry horses, one cow, and three pigs, began the world at Dean Gate, a little bargain of twenty acres, two miles off. Ay. and his wife is the aims woman'. the same, frugal, tidy, industrious, good natured 'Alm Evans—so noted for activity of tongue and limb, her good looks, and plait) ming ;as frugal, us good-natured, as actue, and as plain dressing Mrs. Evan's at forty-five, as she was at nineteen, and, in a diffiTent Way, almost as good looking. The children—six 'boys," as fanner Evans promiscuously calls them, whose ages vary from eight to twenty, and three girls, two grown up, and one, the young est of the family—are just what might be expected front parents so simple and good. The young ma . intelligent and well con ducted ; the boys, docile anti promising; and the little girl, us pietty a curl-head, rosy-cheeked poppet, us ever was the pet and plaything of a r large It is with the eldest daughter thet have' to do. Jane and patty Evans were so ranch alike, as hus.often befallen any two sisters not born at one time; for, in the matter of twin children, there has been a series of puzzles ever since the days of the Dro mons. Nearly of an age—(l believe that at this moment both are turned ninteen and neither has reached twenty)—exactly of a stature, so high that Frederick the Great would have coveted them for his tall regiment—with hazel eves, large months, full lips, white teeth, Grown hair, and that sort of nose which is neither Grecian, nor Roman nor aquiline, nor le petit nez reirousse that seine. prefer to them all ; but a nose which, moderately prominent, and snificiently well shaped, is yet; as far as I know, anonymous, al though it may be perhaps as common and as well looking feature as is seen on an English face. Altogether, they were a pair of tall and comely maidens, and being constantly at tired in garments of the same color and fashion, looked at all times so much alike, that no stranger ever dreamed of know ing them apart; and even their acquain tances were rather accustomed to think and speak of them generally as "the Evanses," than as the separate individuals Jane and Patty. Even those wbo did pre tend to distinguish the one from the oche-, were not exempt from mistakes, which the sisters—Patty especially, who delight ed in the fun so often produced by the unusual resemblance—were apt to favor by changing places in a walk, or slipping from one side to the other at a country tea-party,. or playing a hundred little in nocent tricks to occasion at once a grave blunder and a merry laugh. Old Dina Goodwin, for instance—who being rather purblind, was jealous of be ing suspected of seeing less clearly than her neighbors, and hail defined even the Evanses to puzzle her discernment—seek ing in vain on Patty's hand the malinger which she had dressed on Jane's. ascribed the incredible cure to the merits of ber own incomVarable salve; and could be hardly undeteived, even by the pulling off of Jane's glove and the exhibition of the lacerated digital sewed round by her own bandage. Young George Kaily, the great east beau in 'the parish, having betted at a Christmas party that he would dance w:th every pretty girl in the room, lost his wag er (iyhich Patty bad overheard,) by . that saucy damsel's slipping into her sister's place, and persuading her to join her own unconscious partner; so that George danced twice with Patty, and not at all with Jane. • In short, from their school days, when Jane was chided for Patty's bad work, and Patty slapped for Jane's bad spinning down to this their prime of womanhood, there had been no end to the confusion produced by this remarkable instance of family likeneik And yet Nature—who sets some mark of individuality upon oven her meanest productions, making* some iinnotcd Terence between the lambs dropped - from one ewe; the rObbins bred in one nest, the flowers - growing on one stalk; and the leaves hanging from oue tree—had not left these young maidens without one great and permanent distinctiod—a nat ural and striking, dissimilarity of temper: Equally indastrions, affectionate, happy and kind ; each MIS kind, , happy, area donate; and industriods in a different tray. Jane tuts grave, Patty was , gay. If you heard dhinArb or a zen.,*, be' sure it was -Patty; who jumped the stile; when her sister opened the gate, was Pat ty; she who chased the pigs from thegar dim as merrily as if she was running a race ' so tbat,the pigs did not mind her, was Patty. On the - other hand, she that so careful ly was making, with . its own • . rovelled threads, an invisible darn in her mother's handkerchief, and hearing her little sister read the while; she that was so patiently feeding, one by one, - two broods of young turkeys; she that, so pensively was water log her own bed of rare flowers—the pale hues of the Alpine pink, or the alabaster blossoms of the white evening primrose, whose modest flowers, dying off into a bleak; resembled her charucter—was Jane. Some of the gossips of Aberleigh used to assert that Jane's singing over the flow ers, as well as the early steadiness of her character, arose from an engagement to my lord's head gardener, .an sedate and sober ,young Scotchman.. 'Or this I knOW nothing. Certain it is, that thevrettiest and newest plants were to be found in Jane's little flower border; and if Mr. Archibald Maelane did sometimes come to look after them, I do not see that it is any business of anybody's. In the meantime, a visitor of a different description arrived at the farm. A cousin of Mrs. Evans had been as successful in tr4dc as her husband had been in agricul ture, and he had now sent his only son to become acquai ted with his relations, and to spend some weeks in their family. Charles Foster was a fine young man, whose lather was neither more nor less than a linen-draper in a great town ; but whose manners, education, mind and character, might have done ionor to a far higher station. lid was in a - Word, oneof nature's gentlemen, and in nothing did he more thoroughly show in his own taste and good breeding, than by entering en tirely into the homely ways and old-fash ioned habits of his conutry cousins. He was delighted with the simplicity, frugal ity and industry, which blended well with the sterling goodness and genuineness prudence of the great English farm-house. The women especially pleased him much. They formed a strong contrast with any thing he had met with before. No finery —no coquetry—no French—no piano I It is impossible to describe the sensation of relief and comfort with which Charles Foster, sick of musical misses, ascertained that the whole dwelling did not contain a single instrument, except the bassou ou which George Evans was wont, every Sunday at church, to excruciate the ears of the whole congregation. He liked both sisters. Jane's softness and considerate ness engaged his fail esteem; but Patty's innocent playfuluess suited best with his own high spirits and animated conversa tion. He bad known them apart, from the first; and indeed denied that the like ness was at all puzzling, or more than is usual between sisters : and secretly thought Putty much prettier than lair sis tet, as she was avowedly merrier. Indoors and out, he was constantly at her side; and before lac had been a mouth in the house all t 4 inmates had given Charles Foster as a lover of his young cousin and she, when rallied on the subject, cried fie! and pish ! and pshaw ! and wondered how people could talk such nonsense—and liked to have such nonsense talked to her better than anything in the world! Affairs were in this state when one night Jane appeared even nsnal, and far, far sadder. She sighed deeply; and Pat ty—for the two sisters shared the same lit tle room-iuquired tenderly,what ailed her? The inquiry seemed to make Jane worse. She burst into tears, while Patty hung over her and soothed her.. At length she roused herself by a strong effort; and, turning away from her affectionate coa furter, said in a low tone— " I have a great vexation to night, Pat ty. Charles Foster has asked me to mar ry himl" "Charles Foster! did' you say Charles Foster ?" asked pox Patty, trembling un willing to trust her own genies against the evidence of ,her heart; "Charles - Foster?", "Yes, onr'consin, Charles Foster!" "And you have accepted him ?" inquir ed Patty, in a hoarse voice. "Oh, no—no—no! Do von think I have forgotten poor Archibald ? Besides, I am not the person whom he ought to have asked to marry him ;• false and heartless us he is, I wonld not be his wife—cruel, unfeeling, unmanly as his conduct has been! No! not if be would make me Queen of England:" "Yon refused him, then ?" "No, my father met us suLdenly, just as I was recovering from the surprise and indignation that ut first struck me dumb. But I shall refuse him most certainly—the false, deceitful, ungrateful villian !" "Poor father. lie will be disappointed. So will mother 7' "!?hey *in be disappointed, and both angry—bnt not at my retnsal. Oh, how they will diepise him," " added Jane. Poor Patty, melted by her sister's sym pathy; and touched by an indignation most unusual in that mild and gentle girl, could no longer command her feel ings, but Ilan , ' herself on the bed, in that 9 agony of passion and grief which the first great sorrow seldom fails to excite in a young heart. After a while she resumed the conver sation. "We must not blame him too severely, 'Perhaps my vanity made me think his at tentions meant more than they really did, and you hsd all taken nettle notion. But you must nokspeak of him unkindly. He has done nothing but what is uatund.—: You are so much better than I am, my own dear Jane! Ile laughed and talked with 'me—but he felt your goodness; and he .uis right, -I was never worthy of hini and you are • and if it were not fror Arch ibald, I should rejoice from the bottom of my heart," continued Patty, sobbing, "if you accept." but tumble to speak her generous wish, sbe burst out, in, a fresh flow of tears; and the sisters, mutually and strongly affected, wept. in each other's arms, and we,re comforted. That ntgbf Patty cried herself to sleep; but such sleep is not of long -dnration. Before dawn she was np, and pacmg, with restless irritability, the dewv"grass walks of the garden and orchard. I; fess than half an hour, a light elastics step'--she knew the sound well—canie rapping behind her, hand.."-oh, how often she had thrilled at the touch of that handl tried to draw here under , his own; while a well known voice addressed her in the softest and ten derest emits. . , "ratty , —my own . sweet Putty t hate yon'thought of whatl said' to you last night?" • , • • "To me!" replied Putty, ,Nyttll hitter nest. "Ay, to be sure--to,your own dear self: Do you not remember the question I ask ed you when your good father—for the first time unweleorae--joined us so sud denly that you had not time to say, 'Yes,' now - ?". "Mr. Foster!" replied Patty, with some spirit, "you are under a mistake here ! It was to Jane that you made the proposal andlou are taking me for her at this very momenta" . - "Mistake yon for your sister ! Propose Jane!to lncredible! Impossible! You are jesting!" • ter hen pe taok Jiiiie rofiritiast n igh t—:- nod be is no deceiver!" thought Patty to herself, as with smiles beaming brightly through her tears, she turned arbund at his retierated pmyers,and yielded the hand he sought to hirpressure. "He mistook her for me ! He that de fied'ns to perplex him!" And so It was; an unconscious and tm obso.ved change of place, as either sister resumed her station beside- little Betty, who had scampered away . after a glove wenn, added to the deepening twilight and level's natural embarrassment, had pro duced the confusion which gave-goor Pat ty iti,night of misery to be compensated by a 14time of happiness. Jane was almost at glad to lose a lover as her sister was to gunk one. Charles has gone home to his hithr's to make preparations for his bride. Archibald has taken a great nursery gar dun, and there is some talk in Aberleigh that the marriage of the two sisters is to be celebrated on the same day. Mechanical skill of the Chinese. The most remarkable evidence of the mechanical science and skill of the Chi nese at this early period is to be found in their suspended bridges, the invention of which is assigned. to the Han dynasty:-.‘ According to the concurrent testimony of all their historical and geographical writ ers, :Sanglenng, the commander of the ar my Kwon tseo, the first of the Hans, un derthok and completed the formation of roads through the mountainous province of Shenshi to the west of the capital Hitherto its lofty hills and deep valleys had rendered a communication difficult and circuitous. With a body of 100,000 laborers he cut passages over the moun t:tills, throning the removed soil into the valks, and where there was not sufficient to raise the road to the required he !constructed bridges, which rested on pillhrs or lintments. In another place he conceived and .aciaimplisnea ilartng project of suspending a bridge from one mountain to another, across a (Lep chasm. These bridges, which are called by the Chinese writers, very appropriately, flying bridges, are represented to be numerous at the present day, are sometimes so high That they cannot be traversed without alarm: One still• existing in Shells stretcßes four hundred feet from moun tain, to mountain, over a chasm five hun dred feet deep. Most of these flying bridges are so wide that four horsemen can ride on them abreast, and balustrades are placed on each side to protect travel ers. It is by no menus improbable (as M. Pautheir suggests) that, as the, missiona ries to China made known the fact more than a century and a half ago, that the Chinese had suspended bridges, and that many of them were made of iron,. the hint may have been taken from these for similar constructions by European engi neers,—Scienlific Press. Origin of Tinted Paper. More novelties are the result of acci dent than is , 'generally supposed. The ori gin of blue tutted paper came abolit by a mere slip of the hand. William East, an En,„crlish paper maker, once upon a time set his men to work and went away on bus iness. While the men were at dinner, Mrs East accidentally let a blue bag fall into one of the vats of pulp. Alarmed at the occurrence, she determined to say Heal ing about it. Great was the astonishment of the workmen when they saw the pecu liar color of the paper, and great the an ger of Mr. East when ho returned and found that a great vat of pulp had been spoiled: After giving the paper made from it warehouse room for four years, Mr. East sent it np to his agent in Lon don, to be sold "for what it would fetch." "Fur what it would fetch," said the agent, not understanding the meaning: "well, it certainly is. a novelty; but he must not expect too much." So he eem. the the at a considerable eavanee upon the mar ket price, and wrote to the mills 'for as much as he could get.

When Agrippa was in a private station, he was accused, hy . one of:his servants,. of having spekeri-- injuriously of Tiberius,. and condemned by that Emperor to be ex pined in chains before the palade gate.

The servant presented the pitcher with much . cottrte sy; Aud Agrippa, having allayed his thirst, said to him, " Assure thyself, Thatimastns, that if-I get out of this cap tivity, I will, one day pay thee well for this draught of Water."

This becomes fatiguing-the eyes have a sort of weary, heavy feeling, and if the reading is persis ted in, soon become bloodshot and pain fu. We have often observed young misses intently engaged in the perusal of some romance, while upon u rapidly mov ing railway train, who have only been able to finish their story with perceptible discomfort. We have noticed them rub bing their eyes, shifting their positions, and holding their book at various dis tances from the eye, making the greatest effort to see with eyes that have already been fatigued beyond endurance. Such practices lead to serious injury to the eyes, and it is not unfrequenlly the mse that the oculist is called upon to prescribe for a patient who has paralysis of accom modation of the eyes, produced by reading in a railway car.
