What a pity that a youi:: man, the liopeof his

leeoiaes blighted with ourowu.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
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 ! ": nir
Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, bythi! use of that deadly IVi

incsipublc of curing, keep the nuhappv siiiler.-r

inrious compounds, and instead of being re-tor-1
to a renewal of Lile Vigor and Happim-s, m t, .

XEW YEAR S CALLS.
Now, Bessie, yon're my dearest friend,
My very best, yon know,
And New Years Day without yon, dear,
Would be just dull and slow ;
So. darling, please be sure to come ;
We'll both "receive" in style ;
For holding forth, just me aloue,
Would hHrdly be worth while,
Since everybody knows quite well
That I am "caught" at last,
A willing and a happy bird
By Will's dear band held fast.
Who came last year ? We'd, let rue see :
Oh, it was graud ! Th? air
Was keen and bright, alive with light
And giadues everywhere.
At nine o'clock in walked my boy .
That's Will, you know ; and, Bei,
j How perfectly absurd he was,
j And nice, you'd never guess,
j Then others came, a stupid lot,
Just fops, some six or seven ;
And Ihtu a crowd of silly boys
But Will came in ateleveu.
Well, Bess, such grand times as w bad,
With whispering and chalin t
No one was there, it chanced, but aunt ;
I thought we'd die with laughing
Wheu he was gone, a horrid bore
Named Jones came in ; and then
! I almost yawned j you never Saw
I Such horrid gawky men.
. But Just as Dr. Tyng's struck one,
i Who should come Iu but Wiil
j 'Twns perfectly ridiculous,
j And looked quite clear, but el 111
'Twas such relief to hear hi voice,
; And see his noble form
I (If Will should go upon the stage,
Ho'd take the world by storm),
i He staid an hour, and all the while
J They came by strings and strings,
I And wished me ''many happy years"
j The tedious, tiresome things !
And so it went a glorious day
That New Year's was to me,
For you must know that foolish Will
Came in that niht to tea.
And all the evening we two sal
Aud laughed and talked together,
Letting dear aunty see the rcit, f
And hear about the weather.
'Twas splendid, dear. And now, my lore,
You can't know how I'll grieve
If you don't como an New Tear's Day
And help me to receive.
THE It ELL OF ST. JOHN'S.
i
BY UUFUS SARGENT.
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 !'
The master, who had more at stake than
ue men, ol course :eit tne loss more keeiuy

Suddenly something pecu-
i liar caught his eve among the debris, and j

He snatched up a fragment of one of the '
troughs which had led from the furnace to

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.

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.

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

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
