Ill BBS. There was no doubt about it; John Weare was perfectly wretched that night. He quarreled with Jennie Bell, and he wasn't going to make it up. The fact was she gave herself too many airs, and. he didn't mean to stand it any longer. He didn't care if she was pretty ;tthat was no reas on why she thould let a half dozen fellows at a time hang about the chop, or stroll in one at a time, and, leaning on her elbows, chatter and smirk and emile over the counter; cadets and officers, too, wild young fellows, who only did so for their own idle amusement, and would no more dream of marrying her than they would of inviting her to a ball that was coming off next month. To be sure, he was only a common cavalry soldier, but then he had been in the service a good many years now, had an excellent charac ter, and a good trade at his back, his father had died not long since, and there was a cottage all ready for Jennie to walk into, and they might settle down at once if she'd ouly be sensible. Jennie acted as shop-woman for her bister, M rs. Evans. A very poor little shop it was, very Finall and badly stocked, for Mrs. Evans had only managed to get a few pounds' worth of things with what had been subscribed for her at the garrixon after the fever had carried off her husband. The speculation answered pretty well at first, for many of the oflicere' wives, knowing what an in du"trious woman Mrs. Evans was, made a point of buying their tapes, and cotton,.and sticks of sealingwax of her. Then Jennie's pretty face wss seen behind the counter, and the shp was filled from morning until night with officers and frisky cadets, and the original customers took tlight though Mrs. Evans did not know it, believing the business was safe in the keeping of Jennie, and she worked hard at dressmaking (she had three children to support, and the shop alone would not da it.) The officers were not profitable customers, for they only went to flirt with Jennie, under the excuse of buying a penny pa per, or perhaps asking for a time table. Jennie made the mot trim, and pretty, and obliging of shop women, and the i lace itself wa always a pattern of neatness ; but the officers wives did not enre to go and buy thread where they were evidently interrupting a flirtation, and so the business continued to fall off, and Mrs. Evans began toget quite unhap py aliout it. Jennie pretty, kind hearted, thoughtless Jennie had no idea that she had anything to do with it. or she would have sent every one of her admirers off at a pace that would have astonished them. She had been too delighted, after her brother-in-law died, to come from Devonshire and live with her sister at Woolwich not only because she was very fond of her sister, but also because she wished to see John Weare again. She had made his ac quaintance when her brother and he for they had been in the same regiment were stationed at Ply mouth, and she had paid them a fly ing virit with her father. John had told her that he was tired of the service and wished to settle down, and she inwardly thought that he could do no better than to ask her to settle with him. He had been very attentive when she came to Woolwich, and gradually establish ed himself on the footing of a lover, till he found the shop always filled set ESTABLISHED, 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 27. I8S2. with officers and cadets. At first he was shy of appearing before his su periors, then he got jealous, and at last angry, for he felt and knew that they meant her no good, and, be sides, it was doing real injury to the business of the shop. At last he spoke his mind and told the coquet tish Jennie what he thought, and was snubbed for his pains. 'lf you think I don't know how to take care of myself, Mr. Weare. you are very much mistaken, and I don't want anyone to tell me what's right or wrong. I know for my self." ' "Well, Miss Jennie, I don't mean to give offense. I only told you what I though tw . "Then you might have kept your thoughts to yourself," she said, with a little Vws of her pretty head, "un less they had been nice ones," she added. He heard this aside and picked up his courage. "It's awfully hard, too, when one that cares really -can't get near you," he replied. Just then Jennie caught sight of Captain McGee, a tall and handsome man, with long whiskers and a red nose, coming in the direc tion of the shop, with it big bunch of flowers ia his haad. She had heard John Weare's last words, but Bhe was secretly of the opinion that "he ought to have come to the scratch before," so she thought a little jeal ousy might do him good. "Oh, here comes Captain McGee," she said, in a delighted toce. "Well, he's jut the biggest black leg in the service, Jennie, and if you take iny advice you'll send him oil sharp." ."1 believe you are jealous, Mr. Weare, and telling stories about the Captain ; he is always very polite to me," and she smoothed her pretty hair and arranged the triiles on the counter. "Oh, he's polite enough, no doubt." "And he's bringing me some flow ers." "Now look l.ere, Jennie, are you going to take them ?" "Of course I am." "Well, then, good-by." "Good-by," she laughed. Of course she knew he wouldn't go. "Jennie, he'll be in directly, and I shall be off, but you must choose between him and me. if you are go ing to keep on talking to him, I shall never come in the place again, so which is it to be ?" "The Captain." "But I am not joking ; I shall nev er see you again ' "No aiore am I joking, so good by." "Good-by" and he went II He kept resolutely away for a whole month never once went near the place.. If Jennie wanted him she might send for him, or get her sister to invite him to tea, as she had done before. But John Weare was not sent for, neither was he invited to tea, and his spirits began to wax low. "If she cared about me she'd have got in my way somehow before this trust a woman," be thought The idea of not being cared for was not cheerful. That night he strolled carelessly by the shop, but on the opposite side of the way. Nothing was to be seen of Jennie. He walked on in a brown study, then crossed over and went deliber ately by the shop, with one eye, however, turned in its direction, but not a sigu of Jennie. He went back to the barracks in a dejected frame of mind. "It's an awful pity such a nice girl ; and there's the cottage all ready for her to step into, and me ready to retire from the service, and a good trade at my back ; it's too bad, all on account of that Captain McGee, too. And the fruit in the garden (of the cottage) all ripe, and no one to pick it" The very next morning John Weare walked deliberately into the shop and asked for a penny news paper, and had the felicity of being served by Mrs. Evans. "Quite a stranger, Mr. Weare," she said, but that was the only re mark sh made, and for the life of him he could not screw up his cour age to ask for her sister. That nigbi John Weare was mis erable. "She can't care a rush fr me," he thought, and marched all over the town and nearly to Greenwich and back in his excitement The next day was a lucky one for John. He came across Bibbs. Bibbs was Mrs. Evan's eldest boy. No one knew what his real name was, or why he was called Bibbs ; but he ras never called anything else. "Bibbs," said John Weare, "come and have some fruit ;" and he car ried him off in triumph to the cot tage and stuffed him with goose berries until he couldn't move, and black currants until his mouth was as black as a crow. Then he carried him inside and stood him on the table, and sat down bef re him. "How old are you Bibbs?" He thought it better to begin the conversation with a question. "Five and a half. Is that your sword up there?" "Yes. Who gave vou those bronze shoes, Bibbs?" Now he knew that Jennie had given them to him, but he wanted to hear her name. "Auntie. She's going away soon," he added. "Let me look at your sword now." "When is she eoing to?" he ask ed in consternation. "Devonshire. Do let me try on your sword." "Where is she going?" he asked, with a sick feeling at his heart "She's ill. I think, and she's al ways crying now ; one day she was crying over the silver thing you gave her, and kissed it like anything." The "silver thing" was a little heart of about the size of a shilling, which he had bought at Ch ark ton fair last October, and timidly re quested her to accept John Weare jumped up and show ed Bibbs his sword, and carried him on his back over the place, and en- liraicu IJ 1 lli trjavv l-.l-j rents in his delight But Bibbs de-1 dined. "Aunt Jennie is going to bring me some from Elthara to-night," he said. . So Jennie was going to Eltham, was she. John Weare took Bibbs home, and on his way presented him with a white wooly lamb that mov ed on wheels and squeaked, and a monkey that went, U a stick on be ing gently pushed. "Crying over her silver thing!" said John Weare. "I'll go and hang about the Ehhatn road till I see her and beg her pardon." And lie went, and Jennie met him. and pouted and declared she hadn't once thought of him, and then broke down and cried. And John begged her pardon, and de clared he had been a heartless brute, and then Jennie contradicted him and said it was all her fault, and told him how Mrs. Dunlob, the col onel's wife, had one day walked in and told her, in the kindest possible manner, that she was spoiling her sister's business, for the ladies who had been interested in her welfare kept away because of 'Jennie's flirt ing propensities, which filled up the shop with idle officers who were al ways in the way ; and how she had been so ashamed and wretched, and so cut up by the desertion of John Weare, that she had intended to go back to Devonsire. "But you won't now ?'' he said, as they leaned over the stile leading to the Eltham fields. "You'll get ready at ouce, and we'll get married as soon as possible, before the fruit in the garden is spoiled." It took him a good while to talk her into it (about three quarters of an hour) but then she was very hap py at heart, and chatted like a young magpie, and told John how she had snubbed Captain McGee, and hat! thrown all of his flowers out of the window. "And it was really through that dear Bibbs that vou waylaid me to night" "Certainly." "Why, but for him I might never have seen you again !" "Perhaps not" "I'll give Bibbs a regular hug when 1 get home," she thought. And she did, and the day before she was married she boug1 1 him a rock ing horse, which he delights in to this dav. A Cordon Around the North Polar ttaatn. The cordon of international sci entific stations around the North Pole basin is presumably by this time near, if not quite complete, and the observational work they are to carry out fairly beguu. The dif ferent corps of observers sent out to occupy these Arctic outposts were instructed to begin observing on Au gust 1, if possible, and continue them, if possible, till September 1, 18S3. The research undertaken, in accordance with thescheme of Lieut Weyprecfit embraces all the phe nomena of Arctic meteorology, ter restial magnetism, auroral displays, and astronomical events, with a number of optional inveitigations. These observations will be taken hourly each day, and the instrumen tal equipment of the various expe dilious, as well as their personnel, insure thorough investigation of the phenomena occurring within reach of the different stations. The United States and Russia have each opened two stations, England and Canada together occupy one, and Germany, Austria, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark each occupy one making twelve in all. A calculation of the mean lati tude of these polar observatories places them on the parallel of 71 degrees five minutes north. As the circumference ef this parallel is about eight thousand miles, it will be seen that the average distance of the stations from each other is a little less than seven hundred miles. This, it is to be regretted, is a large interval; but, actually, there is one gap, (that between Cumberland Sound, in Davis Strait and Fort Rae, British America), of over a thousand miles, and another be tween Nort Rae and Point Barrow nearly as wide. In the eastern po lar area there is a third gap extend ing from the Dutch station. Dick son Harbor, at the mouth of the Yeniei, to the Russian station on the Lena Delta, over forty two de grees in longitude (about nine hun dred miles), and still a fourth inter space, between the Lena Delta and Point Barrow, of eighty degrees, or sixteen hundred miles. This last immense gap is not of so much con sequence as the other three, as it af fects the investigation of polar phe nomena related to the meteorology of sparsely inhabited Northern Asia. But the break in the chain of ob' servations between the German ta tion on Cumberland ' Sound and Fort Rae will seriously mar the value of the meteorological data, so far as America is concerned, unless the British Government open an inter mediate station on the west shore of Hudson Bay. Fort York may jierhaps serve for this purpose if the observations taken there were made uniform and syncronous with those instituted at the higher stations. The results of this grand concerted research of the nations, it may be expected, will be of great moment to science, and, as it is an experi ment limited in time, every practi cal measure should he taken to make it complete.

When hops are f 1.25 per pound as now, an acre will yield $1,000 profit, and yet the best family Med icine on earth, Hop Bitters, contain the same quantity of hops and are sold at the same price fixed years ago, although Hops now are twenty times higherthan then. Raise Hops, get rich in pocket; use Hop Bitters and get rich ia health. When Daniel O'Connell, while conducting a case before Lord Nor bury, observed, "Pardon, my lord; I am afraid your lordship does not apprehend me," the chief justice (alluding to a report that O'Connell had avoided a duel by surrendering himself to the police.) retorted, "Pardon me, also; no one is more easily apprehended than Mr. O'Con nell whenever he wishes to be apprehended." era Educate. This was the only remedy that the ! reformers in Britain, who wanted to j introduce free and extended suffrage, j could devise for making the people! wise enough to know what was good or them ; and the same thing is true .witn regaru to ine aoomion oi. vie liquor traffic. Not . only are general education and intelligence necessary igence to carry such information, but so is special instruction concerning the nature of intoxicating drinks and their effects on the human body and on society. To effect any reform of this kind it is necessary to gain the parents, that they may train their children aright, and it is necessary to train the children that they may become in turn wise parents of a fu ture generation. It is a great pity that a majority of the present pa rents are too ignorant aud prejudic ed on the subject of strong drink to set a good example before their children, or to teach them aright, but it is pleasant to know that a strong minority, and in some States a majority, of the grown people have been gained over to right views ou the temperance question. It has ta ken a vast amount of lecturing and preaching and printing and circula ting of temperance truths to obtain tills already great result ; aud now the way is opening up to teach all the children in the public schools, the true character of alcohol and its effects on the human body. This is unassailable scientific truth, and no one, whatever may be his own taste of drink, could surely object to his children being enlightened on such a momentous subject Then again, children receive the truth much more readily than grown persons, who have formed prejudices and habits that they are loth to give up, and what a child is taught in youth he or she rarely forgets in after life. All these considerations concur in showing the extreme importance of getting a lesson book into the pub lic schools on the scientific aspects of the temperance question, to be studied at least one hour a week ; and happily such a book has been prepared by a physician whostauds in the very first rank of medical men for scientific attainments, an author ity whom no one will attempt to dicpute on chemical physiological questions. This very eminent phy sician is Dr. Richardson, of London, and his temperance lesson book which has been published in Great P.ritain, and republished in the United States, has been introduced already into schools to some consid erable extent in both countries. Also a work edited by Miss Julia Cole man, which is eminently practical and well adapted to the common schools in the country. It is our hope that parents, whatever some of them may do about drinking them selves, may all be willing to have their children taught in plain lan guage those immutable scientific truths which will set them free from the bondage of intoxicating drinks, and lessen the number of victims of the scourge which has so long and so deeply afflicted and injured soci ety. Sound instruction with rpgard to the use of intoxicants has carried many young persons safely over all the temptations of youth and ques tionable companions. The boy so instructed won't drink, and those who will drink, after trying in vain to induce him to drink with them, will steer clear of him. His temper ance principles will thus save him from all bad company. More Fowls and Iem Pork. It is just as cheap for the farmer to live upon poultry and eggs half of the time as tolivecoutinually up on beef and pork. It costs no more to grow fowls than hogs. They rus tle for themselves equally as well, and serve as good a purpose in pick ing up the waste about the farm. They are more palatable as food, are healthier and maybe had fresh all the time. . This being the case, we hojie that the day is near at hand when every farmer's barnyard will be a poultry yard, and when chick ens, turkeys, ducks and geese will no longer be regarded as a luxury, but become a staple of the country and adorn the tables of the ioor as well as the rich. These birds can not live on the commons, hide their nests in the stack yards, and roost in the trees, but they are healthy and profitable if rightly managed. Too many regard it an unimportant branch of husbandry, and neglect to give it due consideration. They say that chickens eat their heads off many times in a year, and that it don't pay to bother with them even when eggs are werth fifty cents per dozn and birds fifty cents each. The reason of this is th-y do not manage their poultry but let the poultry manage themselves. There is no branch of farming that would pay better if run in the proper man ner than joultry. The Court Found Him Vualilied. When I was a young man I spent several years in the South, residing for a while at Port Gibson, on the Mississippi River. A great deal of litigation was going on there about that time, and it was not an easy matter to obtain a jury. One day I was summoned to act in tnat capac ity, and repaired to court to get ex cused. On ray name being called I informed his Honor, the judge, that I was not a freeholder, and, therefore, not qualified to serve. "I am stopping tor tbe lime oemg at this place. "You board at the hotel, I pre en ms-"?" "I take my meals there, but have rooms in another part of the town, where I lodge. ! "So von ker bachelor's hall?" ! "Yes, sir."

Wordsworth once told Matthew Arnold that for many years "his poetry had never brought him in enough to buy his shoe-strincs." 1 Uncle Tom's Cabin," which has a world-wide fame, and has been translated int many languages, went begging from publisher to pub lisher, brfure one recognized its great merit. Hawthorne, for twenty vears con tinued to be. to use his own words, "the obscurest man of letters ia America." "There is not much market for my wares," he said at another time. But he ranks to-day among the American classics. Thoreau was another example. A thousand copies of his "A Week on the Concord and Merrimac liivers" were struck off by his pub lisher. After a vear or so, the author received word that his work would not sell, and that seven hun ured and six copies were occupying cellar-room wanted for other use. Accordingly, they were transported from boston to Concord. The work had gone forth in its nakedness and now returned in fine clothing of calico and leather, back to the old ftouiesteau, as so manv poor unfortunates who have failed in the struggle of life have done. Thoreau gave theiu kindly though sorrowful welcome. He laid them on his back and carried them "ud two flights of stairs to a place simi lar to that to which they traced their origin." With a sort of grim humor he said, "I bave now a library of near ly nine hundred volumes, over seven hundred of which I wrote myself." A Fih Pond of Carp. Seth Green, the eminent piscicul turist, writes aUut a new way of supplying families with fish. lie savs;" My opinion has often lieen asked how a carp jwnd should be con structed for family use. The tond can be made in any shape to suit the locality, but I wculd prefer egg shape if the locality was just as suitable for it The pond would breed flies ef a great many kinds one of the kinds being mosquitoes. The larvjc of flies is the best food for young fish. I have bred them by the bushel, but som-? of the mosqui toes would le apt to take wings be fore the pond was well stocked with young fish, and to protect the farnilv in a measure I would advise bui'I ing the pond to the leeward of the house in the prevailing winds of the locality. If for instance, the pre vailing wind was from the west, the pond would be built to the east northeast or southeast of the house. I would prefer the pond to the north east or southeast, because if placed directly to the east, tbe house would make a lee under which the mosqui toes could fcasily reach it The mosquito can beat any sailing craft before the wind, but on the wind they are nowhere in the race, as they have no keel. The whole human family should be thankful to the Creator for not putting a keel on them, and if their bowsprit had not been quite so sharp, they might not receive so many handkerchief salutes from the verandahs of the Long Island hotels, but would be just as useful and ornamental. The pond can le built with plow afid scraper. It should have a deep place in the centre, and be shallow on the edges. If you have pquare sides, the young fish will have no protection from the old ones. When scraping is commenced carry the dirt as far back a3 yon intend mak ing your lower embankment, and keep scratching unlil the pond is four to six feet deep in the centre. If the locality is such that the ice freezes very thick, the pond should be made deeper and holes kept through the ice during the winter to keen the fish from suffocatinz. If the embankment is raised three feet and pounded down and sodded or sown to grass, the water could be raised eo that but three feet iu the centre would have to be excavated in order to have pond aix feet deep. The whole pond should be sown with some kind of grass or water plant, with the exception of fifty or seventy-five feet square in the centre. The ' grass and water-plants make tiie spawning grounds, breed food, and protect the young.

It is refreshing to see the vim and alacrity with which Congress is ad dressing itself to business. The ses sion is only two weeks old, but al ready more legislative and commit tee work has been accomplished than is usually transacted before the holiday adjournment This Con gress is setting an example, and makinsr a precedent which the peo- I pie and the press will no doubt hold I ' . . i . r r... f. up lor tne emulation oi juiurc vuu gresses, and the opinion is gaining that after all has been said, Congress may not be totdly depraved. The Democrats in Congress held a caucus yesterday, in which it was j agreed to eppose the admission of Dakoto as a State, and conference committees relative to the business of the session was a ppointed. The Rfnublicans have as yet held no caucus, but there have been frequent informal discussions of the political situation dt rpuuiiu irua.j There is an evident improvement in the republican situation since me beginning f the session, attnbuta- ble to the President s message, action in the Sur Route cases, and to the buainess-liie action of Congress. The House of Representatives is ; making rapid headway with the ap : propriation bills. During the week three were reported, viz: For the . Postoff.ee Department the Agricul tural Bill, and the Military Acade i my Bill. Two of the appropriation ; bills have already passed the Houm. i via: The Indian and the Consular 'and Diplomatic Bills, j Although there is a got! ileal of I unanimity among members of Con ', gress touching the reduction of let- tcr postage to two cents, there is a , wide difference of opinion as to j when it should go into effect Some taror the 1st of July next and many others the 1st of January, 1 8S4. The item for reduced postage, which is incorporated in the post office bill, will be passed without : doubt, the only question beicg as to i the best-time to have it go into effect 1 he Uemocrats, it is belie ved, will interpose obstacles towards the pass age of legislation having for its ob ject real civil service reform, for the reason that the next House being Democratic they wish to postpone action so that they can shape legisla tion to meet their ends, and have the spoils wherewith to reward their friends and punish their enemies. In the Senate Thursday thers was a dis cussion on the civil service reform bill offered by Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, at the last session. Mr. Pendleton in his remarks on the bill spoke earnestly in favor of it, and it would seem that he (although a Demo crat) is honestly striving for iu pass age this session. But the majority of his Democratic colleagues, among them Senators Voorhees, of Indiana, and Brown, of Georgia, prefer to wait, as they sty, "until they have had a chance to reform the offices." This means literally to postpone legislation until the offices have been filled with Democrat, when thev will then co-operate with the Repub licans to enact laws to keep the Democratic office holders from Re publican invasion. The National Library Bill has been again defeated, it may lie for years and it may be forever. There is more than one side to the library question. There is an accumulation of more than SW.OOO volumes, some on the shelves, many on the floor, awaiting the grace of spontaneous combustion. Mr. Spofford, the eru dite librarain, has been clamoriug for a place to place his liooks, and the small percentage tr "literary fellows" sent to Congress have echo ed Mr. Spofford's clamor. But there are other congressmen not affected with bibliophL'ism who would like to play the part of the monks in the Alexandrian library and burn the trash. Then there is a job in the business. A real estate ring wants to sell a situation to the Govern ment, while in truth the Govern ment has more situations in the District than it can sit on. The proper place for the library is on Government ground in close prox imity to those other scientific collec tions the Smithsonian Institute and the National Museum. Gen. Harney ia a Hurry. The following comical story is told of General Harney, when he was in command at Camp Verde, Texas. He was an intensely dignified offi cer, and if there was one thing he detested more than another it was undignified haste. One eveningjut as he was about to hold dress parade, he perceived that he had forgotten his handkerchief, and as the weather was very hot, he said to his orderly : "Go to my quarters quick, and bring my handkerchief." The orderly touched his cap and started for the quarters, several hundred yards dis tant After he had proceeded a short distance, remembering that there was no time to, lose, he broke into a trot "See that scoundrel running as it the Indians were after him. If there is anything I hate it is to see a soldier runnins, instead of march ing properly. Here, my man," con tinued Harney to another soldier, "go after that man and tell him I say to walk." The second soldier started after the first, but as the first one kept on running, the second one saw his only chance to deliver the message was to hurry up, so he, too, broke into a run. To say that Harney swore is to use but a mild expres sion. "Here, Sergant, go after that man and tell him if he don't stop run ning III hang him up by the thumbs." The Sergeant started out in a brisk walk, but as his predecessor had a good start, he, too, began ' to run as hard as he could. "If all three of the scoundrels ain't running like jack rabbits!" ejaculated Harney. "I'll show 'em," and tuck ing his word under his arm, he start ed in pursuit of them fast as he could run, but suddenly remembering his dienity he came to a halt and walk ed etirly and slowly back to where the dress parade was to come off. Tan Siting. Hour the F.iijcioeer Bounced the Fire man. While General Mahone was presi dent of the East Tennessee road, one of the engineers had a fireman put .- ,"1 Aft on him that he uiu not line, so ne resolved to get rid of him. One day after the first trip, the fireman re marked that he felt like giving the general a good "cussing." hy don t you do it men, re marked the engineer. Yes, arid get fired ?"senteniousIy said the fireman. "Not much," replied the engineer. You can never get along on this road until you cuss Mahone. I cuss ed him for everything that happened since he was in charge, and have got j alon all right" The fireman concluded he would do the same thing. So the next trip to Richmond he went to Mahone's office and heaped upon him such a torrent of abuse that it nearly took his breath away. Mahone heard him through and then told the fire man to come and get bis money after his next trip. There seemed to be a hitch somewhere. Thing3 seemed different from what he expected, so he went to consult his friend the engineer. "You dam fool," shouted the lat ter, "You didn't cuss him to his face, did you?" -Of course I did," said the fire man. "Didn't you tell me you did the same thing?" "No, not by a blame sight W by when I cussed Mahone he was in Richmond and I was in Bristol, and I gave him a good cussing too." Well, the fireman got bounced, and the engineer was made suddenly and strangely happy. XasttrMe Amenta.
