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'.

'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

and the little girl, us pietty a curl-head,

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.

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. The surprise of
Mr., East may be imagined. lie hastened
to tell his wife, who found counige - to
confess her share in the fortunate acci
dent and to claim a rewardothich she re
ceived in the shape of a new cloak. Mr
EaSt kept his secret, and fur a short time
supplied the market with the novel tint,
until the demand fur exceeded the supply,
and other makemediscovering the means
used, competed with him.
A Touching Incident.
le speaking of the flood which Was so
diiastroue in several sections of Virginia,
the Lynchburg pipers send-the following
sad story :. A mother and several, little
children were making their escape from a
narrow neck of land which lies between
the river and the canal, when they Were
amazed Ga find that the bridge was al
ready gone, and that their only hope was
to cling-on to the abntmeot of the bridge
until the angry waves should subside.
But att they stood there clinging to 'the
abutment, the water continued ,to rise
higher and higher, While
,in . the, deep
darkness they could hear the crashing, of
trees amid the thunders of bridge timbers
that:vvere wildly dashing around. them.
They had been in this despbrute condition
for sante time, when the, little girl felt
that her strength was gone, and with

needing in the Cars.
A distinguished ociilisLeays:%n refer
ence to the habit of reading in the cars,
constant'motion and oscillations Of the
cars render it impossible to hold - the book
in one position—its distance from the eye
is constantly varying, and no matter how
slight this variation maybe, it is instant
ly compensated for by the eye,• . tlins keep
ing the organ constantly employed tle.oolll-
dating . itself- to distance. 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.
