Thus ligl-tninir itself was snatched from its swaddling robes and received from man its first lesson. The discovery was complete and Frank lin felt that he was immortalized. Although he was not the first to extract the fleet messenger from Ids sullen vcireat ; vet it was from his suggestion that the first success was achieved and to him is accorded tue authorship of this grand achievement.

Shawls were of cloth, cashmere, and tafl'eta ; handkerchiefs abounded in their wardrobes, and were of linen, cambric, taf feta, muslin, gauze, and Barcelona and other thin silks. Of shirts and petticoats their supply was inexhaustible, some ladies recounting the loss of twelve, fifteen, rnd twenty of each, the former having been constructed of homespun and muslin, bat chiefly of fine five and six hundred linen, and the latter of linsey. tow, flannel, kersey, dimity, bombazine, and calamanco. ILtr Vr s Jftrorizute. Sitting Up With Her. She was expecting him Sunday night ; the parlor curtains were down ; the old folks notified that it was healthy to go to bed at eight o'clock, and Johnny bribed with a cent to permit himself to be tucked away at sundown. He sneaked up the path, one eye on the dog and the other watch ing lor the "old man," who didn't like him any any too well, gave a faint knock at the door, and it was opened, and he was es corted to the parlor, ife said he could n't stay but a minute, though he didn't mean to go home for hours. She wanted to know how Ids mother was ; if his father had returned from York State; if his brother IlnTs rheumatism was r.ny better ; and he went over and sat down on the sofa so as not to retain his voice. Then, con versation flagged and he played with his hat. and shibbled on the sofa tidv. He finally said it was a beautiful evening, and i she rcpued that her father nad predicted a snow storm. lie said he guessed it wouldn't snow, as the moon was not crooked enough to hang a powder horn on the end. and she said she didn't believe it would cither. mis mutual unuerstan-aias seemed to give . them both courage, and then he wanted to ..re v,crcfr,(,0 to all. ! know if she had seen Bill Jones lately.

She bit her hnndkerchioi and admitted her ignorance, lie s:dd he could name a dozen young men who were going to get married right away, and his left arm fell down and gave her a hug. Then he went over and looked out of the window, to make sure that it was or was not going to snow. and. com ing, back, he turned the light down a little more, and then sat down and wanted to know if she didn't want to rest herself by leaning her head on his shoulder. Ah. -a;e ! We have all been there, and who ci us cared a cent when the oi l e!ek struck twelve, and we five mile? from home? Tlie old man was fia-t asleep, the watch dog gone a visiting, and the handsome girl in the country did nt s:e why we need be in a hurry. l'trhaps I shouldn't have written of this, but as I w.;s going by Saunders' the other day. thinking of the night I heard him v.hi-pcr in her car at spelling school, that he'd love her shadow as long as he lived, he raised the window and called to her, as she was picking up chips in ihe road : i;Sue Saunders, come in here and find the b'ar's grease for my sore heel, or i ll break every bone in your body." .?; bury A ' i- i. EOW THERMOMETERS ARE MADE A writer in the '' rchm: P-'di lin gives the following description of the met hod of making thermometers at the manufactur ing establishment in Chester,. Pa. : The glass tubes, as received, are about a yard long. A bey picks them with a hard ste -1 knife, and breaks them into the lengths required. The. bores, which are fiat, are compared by means of a lens with thoce of ten standard siz-.?, and the tubes pssorted accordingly. They are then pass ed to the blowpipe table. Each glass blower has a foot bellows, and uses an oil lamp. Melting the glass at one end of the tu'e. he blows it into a bulb by pressing the. sides of a hollow india-rubber luill at tached at the other, proportioning the size of his bulb to the re of his tube, and as certaining the size by using a pair of calli-jTi-s. While the bulb is hot, the tube is inverted in mercury, which, as the bulb cools, partially fills it. The tube is then withdrawn and a short india rub! ier tube attached at its ep:?u end. Into this mer cury is joured ; that in the bulb is boiled to exjitl the air, which rises up through the mercury in the india rubber tuV, and an atmosphere of the v:j;r of mercury now fill- the glass tube and bulb. As this condenses, the mercury in the india-rubber tii!? takes its place, when this tube, with any mercury remaining in it, is removed. The tube is now wanned, and the ojk-ii end of the glass tube hermetically sealed. The bulb and a portion of the tube are immersed in melting ice. and the height of the mercury marked ; they are then transferred to a kith at G2 degrees Fah renheit, and the height marked : next to ; a bath at tJ degrees Fahrenheit, and the - - ' height again marked. The lengths of the three sj aces of i0 degrees each are now circfullv measured. Ifthevare exact lv equal, the bore of the tube is assumed to le uniform, and the degrees 'aid off on the brass scale off the thermometer are all made of the same length. If the spaces of thir ty degress each are not found to be exactly equal, then, by means of a highly ingenious dividing engine, the degrees on the scale are made to increase in length as the cali ber of the tube diminishes. When the plate has been divided, and the figures and letters punched, it is passed, laterally. Ik?- i ween iwo roncrs. to remove tne burr lelt i by the tools. Were it rolled lengthwise, the accuracy of the dividing would be im paired. The plate is then silvered and lacquered, the glass tube attached, and the j w hole slidden into the well known japanned tin ease. j INHABITED BY A SNAKE. Something for Miss Thankful Taylor to b3 Thankful For. A certain young lady in Tennessee has recently rcleived herself of a snake twenty three inches in length and a third of an inch in diameter. Her name in Thankful Taylor. The reptile is supposed to have inhabited her for the last four years, du ring which time she has suflc-red intense pain, and frequently so severe as to pro duce convulsions. She would lose her mind, and rem dn sometimes in a death like state for twenty-four or thirty-six-hours. At times her suiTering M'as so great, her skin would split open, and the flesh up on her head split so much, it became ne- ; eesssrv to cut her hair ou" verv short, in which condition it is now. and the sears cnu:rhi and held her from behind, she all the while makinsr deswrate efforts to -et b.Mjse. and appeared strangling to death. Her mother finding "the thine-"' in her mouth, as though it had eonie nn headforc- ni!(t. and in going back the same way had doubled itself' made a loop, in which she - ' pUj jier finder, and hel tor came, who' had beer held it until the Doc- en sent for instant! v, UUii nrvicoo in z fexr rrmeitpN from horns, some four hundred yards off. Th si,ther. nn.-'m'rin" ih. 1,.etor's Ini.n". tions, held fast, and as it tried to worm it- self back into thc stomach, she called upon her daughter to close her teeth upon it. which her daughter says she did ; and there is certainly upon thc snake, just where she would have taken hold, unmistakable signs of marks that might have been made by teeth. So soon as the Doctor arrived, he took hold of it and drew it out : ii making efforts to get down, but coming up with the use of but little strength. The phvsi- ian who attended the voung i ' e-' lady has made a sworn statement, substan tiating the above account, and the reptile has been preserved in alchol. This must isfv science. Hanging cf Moody and Rosentine. IlAunisiii RO, July 9. Louis Rosentine and John Moody were hanged in the jail yard here to-dav for the murder, in Xo vember. lS7o, of Abran Beh.ni, an old far mer of Dauphin county. About two hun dred perseus witnessed the execution. At eleven A. M. a lunch was served to the condemned men. of which they partook with a relish. Rosentine made the remark that it was their last, meal on earth, and he h'-ped their next would be in Heaven. At ll!:'gT o'clock the prisoners were brought into the jail yard, accompanied by the Clergy and Moody's wife and father. Moody and Ro.-ont ine ascended the sea field with vciy firm steps. A hymn was sung, the prisoners joining with great animation. At l'2A'i v. m., the spiritual exercises be ing concluded, Rosentine made a short addr s-. He hoped every man would forgive him as he knew God had forgiven him. He hoed to meet them all in Heaven. He said. bless all who pray for me. I hope tfi meet you all again. I thank (Hod I can uie nw. I have done wrong and am rory ibr it. I have no hard feelings against any one. I murdered Abram Benin. I bid you all good b'e. May God have mercy on my soul. Amen."
