"Who Ho yon think lias come back lo our village?" said Fanny AUt-viie lo a parly -of voting ft lends, who had assembled at lier house lota'l: over tin morrow's con- l.inplatcd fuc-nic. And, as no one an swered, but a dozen voices simultaneously cried, 'Dii tell,' she added, "Who but Charlie Weaver, and with such' a mou tache!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands as the idea was lull of ofee; "and it looks for all the world, as il Charlie had a little still" brush pasted und r his nose. For n.y part I can t comprehend what he wears it for, unlets he thinks himself handsome, and adopts it as a protection, to keep the girls Iroin lubsin?; In fn.

A lew indeed, were infected with a! mania for French - nianneis, ; and thought foreign counts divine ; and , of these Miss Rogers was the acknowledged leader.. .... :; Among the beaiiJf, Charlie Weaver shone, or fancied he shone conspicuous. His coat was of the latest cut; bis vest spread out into vast amplitude ; and his boots were of varnished lea' her, made on red morocco yes, posit' v. Iy on. red mo rocco leggings. But his moustache that was the crowning glory. It was between a yellow and a brown, stiff as a hair-brush, and grew beneath his nose like a forest of rushes under the side ol a hill. Charlie was evidently proud of his moustache. He often stroked it complacently vhn talking with the ladies, fie trimmed it wilh great care every morning; and ho was never in a room for five minutes where there was a mirror without looking ti the charming excrescence. Charles Weaver or as the girls famil iary termed him,, Charlie Weaver had been a very sensibly young man until he went to London to study medicine. He there caught the .moustache rabies, n mad ness I Verily believe as inefiectious among young men, as hydrophobia is amonj dogs. Nature was a little obstinate at first: for only down grew where Charlie had wished for bristles ; but, by dint of frequent oiling and shaving, and much time and money spent on various hair preparations, he suc ceeded at last in obtaining bis heart's de sire. That day was the proudest of his life. In his secret heart he believed all the girls of the place would be in love will) him before a week. And now he was at the pic-nic, shining resplendent in thst moustache. He fiist. addressed himself to Fanny ; she hid al ways been his favorite ; but she was now full of mischief, and, soon detecting the conceit of Charlie, resolved that he shmJrt suffer for it. Sj Fanny, without actually driving hi in ofl altogether, kept him fit n respectable distance, Inking care to give him but few smiles, and them only when she saw he was beginning to move away, In this there was something of coquetry, we must admit ; but vanity in the male sex can, after oil, only be matched by co quetry in women. "Oh, come, let us have a frame at Co penhagen," said Fanny, ot last, civing a wicked glance at Charlie. "We have lanced and sung, and walked and prome naded, and e.iten and drank ; we have lone everything that sensible people ran be expected lo do. Now e us for once he children afjain. What soy you girls!'' Miss Rogers was the first to Fp.'ak. Pursing' up her acid-looking mouth, and flrawtng her thin figure to its full height, she said : "Copenhagen ! I rim astonished at you," MissAllevne. Copenhagen for voting la dies like ourselves! Why, it is not played now by youna ludies." "Our grandmothers useti to piny at it, and thought it not so vulgar," saiil Fanny. "However, I want a good romp, and I vote for Copenhagen." Fanny had a purpose of. her own to serve; besides, she enjoyed the reputation of doing as she pleased; and truth to tell, when she now proposeo Copenhagen, many of the girls who would not have dared to suzgest it themselves,' seconded her pro posal. As lor the gentlemen, they all, with one voice, cried out for it, except Charlie. ' "And what do you fay, Mr. Weaver?" "You are silent, !! Charlie instantly sprang forward,' and would have placed an; arm rjuud her per son... . r, ,, el ' " Ml. !' .! But Fanny drew lieracll up with, a won dfifully quiik O'sumption of 'dignity, step ped a pace back, nnd said , ,. i . , . . "Not so fast, Mr. Weaver.

A peal of laughter broke fi on Hie crowd, tier look was so wrintiS,' so mnt h in con trast with her late mirth, so that Ihe whole thing was inexpressibly ludicrous. Char lie drew back abashed for a moment, but recovering himself, h said "This is a breach ol your agreement. You said Miss Alleyne, you would play lair. Yotfsaid, if 1 became entitled lo it by the laws of the game, I might kiss you." "(), I mean lo keep my word, said Fan ny, coolly, "jut you were about to put your arms around me, arid there was no stipulation about thai, was iiicre V ' Then there was another general laugh.

Now it is a very diIeri-nt thing to kiss a blushing, struggling, half-willing, half-unwilling girl, and to kiss a girl that stands up like a grenadier, and tells you coolly to come on.' : She had stood mraniimfr. without moving a mus. le of her face, as serious as a -ir!f;f about to pronounce sentence of death. She suffered Charlie to come within a foul' i.f her, when she suddenly raised her finger, and drew back Pfain , ''Remember," said sh , "you are to kiss me if you can."

"'Pon honor, then, said Charlie, "I'll play, and lake care that 1 get the kiss, never object to kissing a prelly girl.'"' The party toon entered into .the spirit ol Ihe garr There was a good deal of dodging shul- fling, struggling, and pretty 'screaming, minded now and then with some rather loud kissing. One large, fat young man, esneciallv always kissed with a noise like j the renort of a pistol. He rarely succeed ed in touching a lady's cheek, being rather awkward ; while the girls, one and all, dodgeri like wild pigeons, ami, rauuy said, 'he took it flying.' .

"Only stand still, anil you'll s"e," retort he, recovering his spiriis; and he nien- tailv added, "an. I I'd kiss in at ban Isome a l.ishiou as i-etitli ii.an ever kii d lady.'' o vou won't nnd you can't, Charlie," said Fanr.v, cuilii"' him by the fimiliar name for the f.tsttmi" ll.i.t day, and she spoke in a wheedling lone ; "it is n mile and more liom toe et.g- ot ln.it moie-lnclie of yours to lh tiiouth uudeii.i utli, and you never could get your lips to mine, i! you were lo try at it for a w.-vk." I wish you could hat e heard the peal ol laughter that burst forth, ns Fanny, w ith a demure, provoking air said these Word. The old woods positively rocked with the echo. The fal young rriafi, 1 have already told you of, rushed to the edge of the crowd, threw himself on Ihe grass, and rolled there in agonies of langnter. Hie girls, one and all, held their handkerchiefs to their mouths, r anny only was polite. There she stood demurely regarding Char lie,, with not o vestige ot laugh on her lace, except a roguish working ol the corners of her mouth. ' The butt ol all this reanined regarding her for a second, anger and shame mounted blood-red lo his very forehead. He tried, at Cist, to brave it out, but the attempt was vain; and at lost with an audible oath, he turned his back on his fair tormentor, and rushed madly away. Our village was never troubled wilh a moustache a!W that. The ridicule that pursued Charlie, when Fanny's jest became knowf , drove bun from the plac", and no 4 successor lias ever ventureu 10 spun a moustache there since. Occasionally a travelling dandy stops at the Inn for a night's rest, and on such occasions a mous tache may be seen for an hour or two in the quiet street ; but at other times the article is as scarce as money in a poet's pocket. ' Fanny is somewhat soSered since the i . i- o I I- - .... day oi trie pic-nic. arifiui yeuis uur passed, and the once merry maiden is now a' sedate matron. She mairied a rising youi;g lawyer, and immediately look her place at the head of fashion ; for her wit as well as her beauty, gave her a pre-emi nence which all acknowledged, lo this day however, she laughs heartily when the story of Charlie's discomfiture is told. Miss Rogers after all her aflectattons, was forced lo put up with the fat young man who makes a verv worthy husband for her, though he kisses as boisterously as ever. TIM! CAMI'OnSM PlOXEKn. Jean A. Sutler, in whoso niill-rnco Ihe first discovery of cold in Cullifornift was made, is a Swiss by tilth. Hn was Lieutenant In the Swiss Regiment of Chntles X., and saw ser vice at the I'l-volntion of 1830, when he was wounded. After the defeat nnd exile of his royal master, he came to this country, and first settled in Missouri, where ho became naluralierl. Ib.' then went toOiegon, a&ross the plains, to the Sandwich Islands, nnd thence, in 1339, to California where hn cs tabtished himself at the junction of Fealher nnd Anieiienn livers, nnd called his plnce New Helvetia. Nearly the whole country was then occupied by Indian ;' but by some means ur 'number; he succeeded in inducing a huge number of Ihern to w;k fc" him, nn I ha lived among them something like a !i,.r eicn. When the Americans came to the cnutiir) nnd war broke on', hs tnnd sides with the Mexicans. When' peace was established, as ho. had no mher tilleto his immense domains but cccupaiicy, and as most of bis Indians deserted him, he could not continue to occu py the land, he found himself speedily re- tlneed from a great proprietor lo a simple farmer. Ho fl'dl. however, entertained am- tiiiiniis aspirations. n;nt was a candidate for the (Joveinori-hip of California. lie was tie feated, but in etecl'ioneeriiig, he neglected his piivii!" affairs, and found it expedient lo seil New Helvetia, and seek another resi dence.' He betook himself to the. vieinty of M.irjsviilc, on Plnnio River, and called his new home Hock Farm.

A writer in Blackwood's Magiaiue, in a lengthy article on "The Beveiages," writes ns lunowa on tea: , .,.,(. i The peculiar effects of lea upon Ihesjstsm its exhileraling but non-lutoxicating pro perlies ate due lo Ihteo chemical snbstrtn. ces: an aromatic, volatile oil a slightly bit ter principle, rich in niirogen and tannin or Innic acid. Its odoriferous volatile ingredi ents do not exist in the natural leaf, but ere produced in drying and preparing it. And this is true also of the coffees and cocoas. All are nearly void of taste and smell in their natural stale ; While all are highly fi.. vored and arontalio when used, deriving these properties Irom chemical substances produced within thorn by processes of drying and roasting. An equally singular fact has been ascettained, and as equally true of all our usual infused beverages, viz: that Ihe peculiar nitrogen containing principle which they hold in solution, lessens Ihe neulral wear and tear sf the body, and thus to a cer tain extent saves food. Another interesting end singular fact con nected wilh Iho subject is lhat the lea leaf contains a very large proportion of gluten, R nutritious ingredient of plants. This sub stance forms one-fourth part of their weight in leaves, and were they palatable, so that we could eat them in mass, as we do the cocoa, tea leaves would bo nearly as nu tritious as beans or peas, and more strength sustaining than wheat.

THE SCIENCE OF BLACKS M I TflfXfl. The Scientific American says Sawing heated iron and stcc!: is not known or thought of by blacksmiths ; and when ssjvcial furks of branches are to be formed from one stock, even if the branches ore required to remain eventually nearly in enntntet, nnd parallel to each other, tho nsual method is to split the end of Iho isHaF'wiih nn awkward chisel thereby deforming the edge Qf each branch on which nccount, the branches must be bent asunder for Iho purpose of hammering, squar ing and shaping the edge of each ; after which ihey nre brought Ingelhpr as well ns may be, usually telaining n ronshness in form, if not a deficiency of size nnd strenght, nenr the juncture of ihe branches. Instead of this te dious process, the iron when heatej may be put into n vice, and the ends may be readily slit wilh a suitable saw, which would save much labor in hammering and filing A saw for this purpose should be made thicker al Ihe edga'than at Ihe back, and wilh uniform teeth onu twelfth ufan inch apart. The saw when used, must bo often dipped in water, to prevent i's becoming to'j much heated. There is nlso n method nf sawing or cutting hardened steel, which i not generally known as it should bo. A circular piece of common thin iron plate, or sheet iron, being adjusted to a lathe, or by other means put into a vio lent rntaiy motion, will readily cut off a file, a rutting tool, nr tempered steel spring, with out drawing or reducing Ihe temper. There is much mystery in iho wonderful effect of this buz, and its culling propeity is attribu ted lo electricity. It answers a very conve. nient purpose, however, when the shape and form of articles are required lo be altered wiihout affecting their temper. It furnishes a convenient method for cutting leeth to hi'ge saws, but objectionable on nccount of the newly cut surface being left so hard that ihey cannot be readily filed by a - common file. Connected wiih iho subject of "mys terious effects," it mny be slated that a bar of iron of almost any size, piay be instantly sundered while hot, by the simple applica tion of a piece of common roll biitnstone. A knowledge of this fact will be useful, when some piece of iron work is required lo be severed, but which, as is sometimes Ihe case, is so constructed and situated thai no ordina ry chisel or cutting tool can be brought to apply. Hole- may bo instantly perlnrated through bars or plates of heated iron, by the application of pointed pieces of brimstone. This phenomenon is curious, although it sel dom affords much practical utility. DIsODEiMENCE TO PAIlIiNTB. Young man, is that your father! How : could you make use of language so disic speclfull . Yon don't care! ,Yoo will (alk " you please, no matter who hear you i . . . - II we Were lU Want of a rlerll .ml Ihpra etna not another young man with'm ten hundred ' miles thU we rould engage, we would not consent to lake yon. We should be afraid to trust a boy who is disobedient to bis parents, who shows so lillle respect for his father. A youth whn was so saucy to his parents vt never knew to turp out well. He respects ' nobody. If your farther is in iho wrong, and you are certain of it, that is no excuse fo. such language. No one will respect you for it. Everybody will condemn you. A par ent should be treated wilh respect by hie children, no matter bow poor he mny be, or how large his family may have grown. There is too little respect paid to parental authority at ihe present day. (lis giievous to go into many families, and hear Ihe Ian guago dnily used by the children. "I will," I won't,'' "I don't care," '-It's none of your business,'" "I nm old enough to know what is right," and the like are.painfully common, Large boys, and grown-up girls even, io not hesitate to give iheir mothers Ihe lie, ami break away from iheir express commands. They will do as ihey please, und go wheie they have a mind. We wish such children could ouly see how ihey appear in the eyea o: their acqaintances, and if they have any shame it must flush their cheeks. There is truth as well as rhyme in a couplet by John Randolph. j .. . - ' "Whoever makes his parent's heart to blecdj Shall have a child that will revenge the deed." One thing is certain, nil undutiful son and a disobedient daughter cannot long prosper For a season ihey may appear well lo the' eye of a stranger, but their self-will and stub borness are soon discovered, and Ihey are despised. A child who disobeys his parents will not hesitate to abuse anybody. Neither nge nor talents receive respect from him.
