What a pity that a youi:: man, the liopeof his country, the ihiriiu of his parents, should lie .Matched from ail prospects and enjoyments ot life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of rature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Such iersons mvst bi fore eor.louiu'alir MARRIAGE, re Sect that a sound mind and body are the ino.-1 lioce-saty requisites to promote connubial happi ness.

When the misguided uud impiydent notary ol pleasure linos ihat be has imi.ilied th.; seed, ol this painful diseise, it too often happens that ;:u ill-time 1 sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who. from education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, mic'i as ulcerated sore throat, disea-cd nose, noctural pains in the head and limbs, diniue-s nf siht, leafnets, nodes on the shin 'bones and arm-, blotches on the head, face and extremal.:-, pro t'lessing with frightful rapidity, till at bet the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in, nnd the victim of this awful dieae becomes a torrid object of coinmisratiOn, till .c ath pats a period to bis dreadful Ml tiering, by i n ! i i j him to "that Undiscovered Country fio-n wlicue no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fad that tliou-anls !IE victims to this terrible disease, throu-h r.t 1 !

In a huge and smoky foundry close bv the wharves in the town of B- a gang ! of workmen were getting ready to cast the I largest bell of the St. John's cathedral j chimes. Only an hour more, and they ' would let the glaring, bubbling metal, flow : ing from the huge furnace into the mould, i which was buried deep in the blark earth ' close by. l It wa9 just at evening, and in the gather ing twilight the lurid blue flames that burst from the top of the tall chimney, flashed j unearthly gleams upon the nuighboiing I windows and house-tops. The scene within the foundry wus wierd j and almost awful. The swarthy forms of j workman, partly lighted by the yellow i glarc,moved about like Tarlerean shadows, j and the sooty beams aud ponderous chains i crossing, half black, half golden, under the j glowing roof, recalled tho engines ot" the j Cyclops under Ml. ..Etna. I The toru clock struck six. It wus time for supper. All the men threw down their tools, and rau and put on iheir outer cloth- i tig- 'Be back iu half an hour sharp ? cried the forge-master. 'Wc f-b.aH make the cast at a quarter to seven.' 'AH right, sir 1' cried the men in response. '1 hear some of the town folks are com ing down lo see the work,' said one. l'cs.' said another, "and it'll be some thing to oiien their eyes. There was never suchA bell cast in the whole State as this one will be.' In a moment uioro only the workman and the master were lift iu the foundry. Tho former was to stay and watch the j 'blast.' He had brought a double allow- I ance of dinner, and he would makn a sup per on what remainod. 'Perhaps we can get the 'Inventor' to stay with you, George,' said the master laughingly, as he prepared to go. 'Yes, where is he?' returned the man, in the same jesting tone. 'lie's been round tho works long enough ! to know wheu anything goes wrong. Hallo! hallo 1 I say! Where's the 'Inventor?' Come here. Alt. there he is !' And in si ll lent answer to the summons, a shock-hair-i ed fellow, with large gray eyes, and a pale, j vacant lace, appeared from behind a pile of j I cantiugs. He had on In back a gray j shirt much soiled with dust, and he wore a i pair of huge pantaloons, held tip by a sin- i g'e suspender. 'Well, Mopus,' quoth the niau George, slapping him rather roughly on the shoul der, 'suppose you've got wit enough to help j yell if any thing's the matter.'" ! The young fellow looked stupidly around I and nodded his head. The poor lad smiled, and meekly did as he was ordered jul as an obedient dog would have laid down to watch his owner's coat. If anythiug happened, or went on iu an j lusual way, ho would always uotice it, unit aud say what ought to be done, though he could not tell, perhaps, why it ought to be done. Two year before, he had been an intelli- ! gent promising lad. He was the son of a designer couuectcd with the foundry com pany, and had always been allowed free access to the shops, and to mingle with the men and watch their work. But one day a great iiftitig-chaiu broke, with its load, and an iron fragment struck him on tho head, intlictiug a dangerous injury. Fiom ' this hu partially, for liis reason was im-! paired. But his natural love for machine- cry nnd niechauical experiments remained nnd as he regained his bodily strength, he spent most of hi time making small wheels J and shaft, aud putting together odd coti- trivatices, which ho would exhibit with im-1 mense pride and satisfaction. This peculiar trait in the young fellow gained for him the humorous title of 'Iu ventor.' All the men felt a great kiuduess for him, even though their manner toward him was occasionally harsh and impatient. Such was the person left to help watch the great blast for the casting of the king bell of tho chime of St. John's. . Faithful fully he kept his place before the furnace, while the man George sat down at a little i distance and began tt eat his supper. Doubtless the latter intended to keep a geri crnl oversight, but he certainly made the inventer's eyes do the most of the looking. Whether he felt a kind of reckless trust in I the instinct of his half-witted companion or indolently concluded that nothing wrong could happen, he was sadly to blame for charging himself so little with the impor tant duty that was before him. Not a word was said by either watcher aud only the deep roar of tho furnace was heard through the vast foundry. George finished hit supper; and saunter ed into one of the tool shops to find his pipe. 'Inventor' sat alone before his great blast. The one rational faculty of his fee ble mind enabled him to comprehend what it meant, and even something of the mag nitude of the enterprise that was ripening inside those burning walls. lie knew that the furnace was full of valuable metal, and that close beside him buried out of sight in the deep sacd, was the huge mould, so soon to be filled with the precious cast. He knew and could see that air the channels for the flow of the fiery liquid were ready, ! and that near the mouth of the furnace ! stood the long iron rod that was to be used when the moment came to let on the mol - ten stream. All this his limited thoughts took in by habit. Dimly conscious that something great was soon to be done, he sat with his eyes on the furnace, absorbed and intent Suddenly something startled him. There was a slight noiso, and a burning crack ap peared near tho top of the furnace. Then another crack, aud a scorching brick fell out and rolled to the ground at his feet t The lad opened his mouth to shriek, but so terrified was be that the sounds stuck in his throat, as if he had been in a fit of nightmare. A thin red stream followed the fallen brick aud trickled down the furnace side , like running lava. Then came another j alarming noise, and a thin gap half-way j down the masonry let out more of the his I sing metal. ! Where was George ? Was the uufaiih- fttl fellow still hu nting for his pipe ? The lurnace was bursting with only a poor, half idiot lad to guard it ! What could he do? He did tthat a lad in his right mind would not have dar ed to do. Rushing to the mouth of the furnace and seized the long iron rod that stood near, and tapped the vent. One desperate thrust with the sharp point up the terrible tunnell a few quick, prying strokes ! Stand back, no-.v ! The confin ing clay fell away, and the yellow white j fl,)0(1 spurted out with resistless force. It leaped into the clayttued troughs, and hiss ed Us way, flaming, down to the mouth of the bell-mould. The 'fool' Lad dene a deed worthy ol a general on a field of battle. Was it too late ? Every moment new j fissures opened into the doomed furnace, j Some of the upper stones toppled over. ; Still the metal poured out into the mould. 1 But the waste was great from the gapping : flaws. The pressure was relieved by the ) opened vent, but tho leaks multiplied con-! tinually. I' win art running a race with ' ruin. Poor 'Mopus' stood powerless before the coining catastrophe. His knees knocked together, and his head swam. A great heap of red hot bricks and rubbish fell at his feet. He had barely thought to get out of the way und save his life. He heard a wild shout of human voices in the distance, then an uwful roar behind him, and he saw aud felt hinifCll pursued by .oea. of aecLh- ing fire. Sharp blistering pains pierced his flesli at a hundred points. The rest was all a horrible, unintelligible dream. It was as if he had suddenly suuk into the earth and been swallowed up forever. By seven o'clock comparitive quiet Sign ed again ou the scene of disaster. Ruius lay everywhere. The engines had quench ed the flames that had caught the building and the men blackened with smoke, 'stood in silent groups about the remains of the furnace. It had fallen to pieces, and noth ing was left but heaps of steamiqg rubbish Poor 'Inventor,' who had been found with the tapping-rod iu his hand, lying on his face in the sand frightfully burned, had been carried to his home. Little wus said, but the few words spoken, uttered with no mild emphasis the natural wrath of the master and the hands against the man George, whose excuse for himself ouly exaggerated the offence. 'See what he's done,' said they a few day later, as they stood m the half burned foundry. 'Five thousand dollars gone to waste iu a minute ! The best job in twen ty years spoiled ! The rascal, to go hunt ing for his pipe, and leave that stuttering idiot to watch ! Is that all he can say for himself? Out upon such carelesiucss! Why thi boy didn't know enough to bawl out wheu he must have seen the furnace tutnbliug to pieces !'

Presently the master's spade penetrated the sand aud touched soniethiug hard. He stooped down.- Then he leaped up like one half francic, and, plying his spade with redoubled energy tore away the remaining sand, diecloeing wlntt looked like a great metalic ring 'Men,' he cried out, lifting his flushed face, 'the bell is cast 1' 'Who did this?' asked every excited voice, as soon as the cheering died away. ! 'Come with me, two or three of you I' cried the master. 'I think I know who die it. It's a miracle ?, They hurried away to the hoaie of the half-witted boy. The attendant met them with her fiuger on her lips. 'The poor lad is iu a brain fever,' she said. 'Does he say anything in his delirium ?' 'O, yes be raves all the time about the big bell mould. 'I hope it will fill I hope it will ,' he says. - The men exchanged glances. It was indeed true: The idiot had cast the great bell of St. John's. Just then the physi cian came out. 'Perhaps lie will recover his reason bj this shock and sickness," he said, 'such things hare happened.' 'Do you think so? Pray Heaven he may !' solemnly ejaculated the master and his men ; and they turned away deeply meved. Two months later the great bell huna from a huge derrick iu the lathe-room of the factory, and beneath it stood a heavy truck upon which it was about to b low ered. A silence fell upon the workmen as 'Inventor' appeared, borne upon a small soft reclining chair. He had recovered his reason, nnd was fast settintr back his strength. Ilia large gray eyes instantly fastened themselves on the bell, that splen did masterpiece, whose making meant so much lo him. They had told him the whole story of tho casting, and the disas ter it! tV foundry, but it sounded like a wild ramance to him. 'I remember nothing that happened,' said he, shaking his head with a smile. It's all new to me, all knew and strange ! so strange I' j 'Yes,' said the master devoutedly, 'it was God's hand.' Every eye was turned upon the invalid. Some of the men felt almost afraid, it was so much of a resurrection to have him their among them, the boy they bad known so long under-witted, now a voung man keen and intelligent, a if changed into another being. 'I should like to strike the bell ouce,' said he. Two men lifted him up aud put a small hammer in his hand. He struck a gentle blow. A deep, sweet mournful tunc, solemn as the sounds of distant waterfalls, rolled from the great bell and echoed through the foundrv. Tears filled the eyes of the rough men as they heard it Ah,' said the master, there's a halle lujah iu that, and it may well begin here. Long may this bell praise God ! He saved it in tho ruins of the furnace by one wi9e thought in the ruins of a human brain. Our furnace is rebuilt, and behold, this dear boy has his reason again I The bell and the boy shall glorify God together !' 'Amea !' murmured all the listeners. Then the great bell was lowered, and as i the truck rolled away with its melodious burden, the boy was lifted and carried after it, aud both out into the sunny day together, the rough men standing in the doorways waving their hands. Little 'Inventor' afterward well proved his claim to the title so lightly given him ik his uufortunatc boyhood. His name is now read on many a bell whose richness of tone his genius and tkil! in imtals alone created. ili5cclInnfon5. Iu Ancient Times. In the wardisobe f a Hebrew kdy the most splendid article of clothing was the turban, for those who could a&'ord it. Tho poor people lud to lie batislied with winding a piece of cloth urouud their heads and fixing it as well as they could. The turbans were of different colors, and wound in different ways stus of them were like a high tower. Shows and stockings were un known, but, soles of leather were fastened with two laches. The ladies, who carried luxury inio cveiy dtpartmeut. and whoare supposed, even in the present-day, to be far from indifferent to a nice neat boot, or to elegant slippers, had their shoes, or j rather sandals, and their latchet, made of ; colored leather : dark blue, violet, and pur ple were favorite colors. The aukles were decorated with bracelets of gold or dainty silver chains aud rings, with tiny silver bells. Hair nets and head bauds in great request. The latter were made of gold and silver, and worn under the net, extending from one ear to the other. Earrings were much thought of, we're told of some that weighed a thousand and seven hundred shekles of gold, and were so large that a man could easily put his hand through them Some of the women wore several rings with little bells attached to them. They were generally made of horu or silver. But the most popular ring was the nose ring. The left nostril was pierced for the purpose. A ring made of ivory or metal was put through it. Bracelets were favorite orna ments and were generally worn on the right arm. Some of them were exceeding ly large s that they reached up to the el bow. Rings on the fingers were also worn chains of line gold, or strings of pearls with little silver balls or small tinkling bells, were :i!s v-ir;i about the neck. -a- ' with lightning speed, and finally brought; The .so,000,(X."J suit asinst Tweed has I up in a howl of dishwater lbs t stood Oft been set down for trial on the first Monday j table at the foot, where the hired girl-' in January, in th Knpreina Court Circuit ! washing dishes and singing 'Mollis Iin A large number of petitions signed bv : womeu have been presented to the Legisla-; ! ture at Toronto, nikii.ir further restriction cr of the liquor tariir.

Was An old copy of the Columbia Magazine, of 1773, published in Philadelphia contaius among others, an article entitled "A justi fication of the custom of Bundling," taken from a late history of Connecticut. The article was published at the time to prove that the custom did not originate in New Y'ork or PennsylvauU. Many people out side of Berks county who have been told that "bundling" it practiced in some sec tions of Berks, ridicule it, and say that nobody but the "dumb Dutch" would think of such a thing. The Triter in the maga zine referred to, says that bundling waa ursf practiced in Connecticut ; that it was purely Puritanical, and in tlie early days of that State it was considered the most virtuous manner in which young people could pass the time in each other's society. The article opens by praising the good virtue and modesty of the Connecticut ladic in trioee days. It was considered the greatest rudeness for gentlemen lospeak of garters, knees or legs in presence of ladies, yet to ask her to 'bundle was very polite even as Ikr back as 1634. The writer says : 'It ia certainly innocent, vir tuous and prudent, or the Puritans would not have permitted it. Children were raised to fear God, and believe that angels guarded over them when absent from their parents.' The Indians also had this meth od of courtship. The writer believed that one hundred and sixty years of bundling was attended with ten times more chastity than the custom of young people spending their hours together on the sofa in the par lor. The magazine in which the above was printed was in the early days one of the most aristocratic and high-toned publi cations known. The article shows what the strait-laced, blue-blooded people of Con necticut advocated iu those days. How ever, the custom of virtuous young people lying on beds with a greater part of their clothes on, which is called 'bundling,' is gradually dyiug out everywhere; but whether the modern custom has produced any healthier changes, the public is left to judge. ' How a Woman Throws m Stone. BY SOUS SMITH. When a woman throws a stone she strikes an attitude calculated to fill the breast of the beholder with awe and admi ration. She raises her right arm perpendic lularly iu the air, glares at the object she is going ti strike (?), bends back her body as far as !ie possibly can, and then with terrific swoop of the avenging arm, she lets fly that stoL3. If she docs not lose her balance altogether, she is unsteady upon her fj t for five minutes afterwards, her back hair generally comes down, some half a dozen hooks and eyes are sacrificed, and she has a crick iu the back for the next two daya. And the stone what becomes ot the stone ? Sincerely do I wish I could say it hits the mark, but a love of truth com pels me ty state otherwise.' It may strike off to the left or right, or even behind her, the exact direction is clouded iu uncertain- I ty, but one thing ia certain, it never doss go just where she intends it to. A little j incident took place in our neighborhood i last week, which may not prove uninteresting- j Mrs. McStartler is a firm advocate for woman's rights, and has delivered some forty or fifty lectures on the subject in Bloomers. I happened to mention once iu her hear ing that there Was at least one thing in which man was far ahead of woman, and that was 'stone throwing.' This was evi dently broachirfg a subject which had never before eutered her powerful mind, ami with a scornful look at me, she informed i me that she would prove that even down- , trodden wotn.n could thro.v stones if she only gave up her mind to it. She invited us to follow her into the garden, where, se lectioga stone weighing about a pound, aud pointing to a maple some llftoen yards distant said, 'Y"ou see thai maple ?' Wc admitted the fact. 'I'm goin to hit it.' Striking the attitude already discribed, she mustered up all her sireugth and let fly the stone. We were gazius breathlessly at the ma ple, expecting to see a yard or so of the bark peel ofTbut alas ! for human hopes, there was nary peel. The stone must hav bucn endued with blacksliding. principles, fur it darted over Mrs. McStarter's head, through the dining room window, and tak ing with it lialfa pound of scalp from the head of Mr. McStartler (who was takinj his alter dinner nap) flew through the dining-room door, and Unditig at the top of the kitchen stairs, bounded down thent H'l CAtiltl Only See My Mother.
