The chimes, were full of joy and re-echeI to a pnat distance ; their hra--n vtiices steailily (rained in volume, and the liell-riiip're, proud of their rivilepit of annntincini; to the laithfxil the most lN-.tutiful fi-stival of the year, mmtiht to outrival each other in the spirit with which they accomplished the work. Young itiris in handsome attire, and all la-jntrlauded, were hum iiiK to church in joyful bunds. They took their places at the further end, behind the youth and old men. Their red Ixxlice, their blue or heckcrod itticoat, their long tresses fallinir In-low the waist, and inter)luited witli multicolored ribbons all formed a straiip'ly effective pitlure. And merri ment, the merriment of youth, frank as the frvahncHH of their complexions, hone in every face. All the tapers were light ed. It was indeed the tireat Iay, the day tluit the Man tiod, who suffered for the triumph of truth, and who died for our redemption, arose from the dead. Therefore it was the day of universal joy, the day of foiyiveness of injuries, the day that every one ln-conies kind ; for it was the fcitst of truth and of Christian love and pewe entered into tlie souls of all. , " Ohrist is arisen I" cries the priest, "."truly lie is arisen !" reply the faith ful.

I had been only vo months in the country, and con- seinctiy knew very little of the customs, :er of certain ecnliarities in the mam- of the Little Russians, which dixtiutr ished them from the jsipnlations of the -ntral provinces. In Little Russia they more frank in their ways, anil much terrier on joyful occasionsthan we other K wiians are. Women have neither the pn lery nor affectation of prudery our Muovite wtimen have. Therefore I felt quit, surprised hen the daughter of my lux the t'osack levica, came to nie with tit, paschal kiw. "Chrlt is arisen!" she said. " Tru he is arisen !" I resjionded, re turtiiiijrter kiss. Rut as! had purchased a little presene for her "lister jrift a very nuslest littlt present,5 tothiiu; more than a little gold rinj;, t dipped it upon her finger and put an Ester evV in her hand. " S-e uy little hostess," I exclaimed ; " here i in Easter ejf a red ejrg and here is a-ing for a souvenir." She loed at the ring. She seemed to lie surpriwd, dumlt-stricken, and only af ter a loni uinute she asketl : " Is it r, l goin . " Pure : "But t me" "So th ld,r I rerliel. n why dc4 thou give it to thou uiavst reiiK'inlK'r nie when I am jone away." " But a ii:d gold riii.

The priest, preceded by the deacon, who carried in his hand a huge taticr, decorttiil with bright-ixdorcd riblsins imsstil through the aisU-s. The priest paused la-fore the images to pertorni the iiix'n!i tvremony ; then, turning to the faithfij, who at his approach scjiarated into gf dips, he swung his censer, and sa luted (lem with : "(hist is arisen!" Andall the groups, one after the other, resHiuled : " Trly be is arisen V Tliepriest's candle was decked with a great is inquet of flowers. Tlie Easter iiymia rolled out in a burst of joy. "(Irist is arisen! IVath by His death is vaituishcd, and to them that were in the Uiuli hath He given life!

Ma was over, and the liells began to sw ing. The Kaster cakes were bless ed. " Wilt thou come to eat the Easter cakes with us, or wilt thou go tothe prii-st's hiaise?" asked Marianna, as I was leaving the church. At thy house, my pretty child. Thou knowest I like not to eat with those whom I know little of." Half an hour later I was seated at the table in the house of my excellent host, the Comtek Levies, and the tamily repast was merry indeed. Day licgan to tlawn, and (he sky prom ised us lovely spring day. Xobody thought of sleep. Mariana proposed to me to go with her to the village, where site wanted to give some of her girl frientls an Easter greeting- We thus made at least a doaen visits, in company, and then, instead of. returning to the In hb, we took onr way toward a rather remote farm, w bene her eliler nietcr re sided. The road we took, which followed the banks of the Denn, was uiarvt'loaly jiirturesqne. It was a little path, w hich Mimetiiues nkirt-il rirh ami U-autiful fielilx, and aniiH'tiiiu'x In4 itxelfin wiml- "" .....-.n. ..r ww a..nning their youthful pirb of onng. The acacia hail as yet only a lew tvew, while the chestnut and the syca- re, much more precocious, were al- i rly strutting in their ojwlent green ! r. as if proud of the vigor of their saJL Tlie hawthorne, which grows here ; am other trees, not in hedges, as it is maiktodoin more civilized countries, was V covered with a snow of flowers that fted to us long breaths of perfume. All tli 1 leant iful savage nature spoke to the sotiLind seemed to promise unutter able joyl At last 'tie sun rose. It was magical ! It daintil, gilded the hawthorne blos soms, the tfjiks and branches of the trees and tlung r.y light upon their foliage. And the sana roseate gleams sparkled in the clear-blui waters of the river, which flowed all caliS-v at our feet. A charm thntl cannot explain came slowly over me.My sensibilities seemed strangely inteusiftii ; I thought tlutt my perceptions had leeome more delicate more subtle than tley had lieen before! Perhaps it was the br.mtiful but sleepless night that had excited my nerves ;-I.lan-cied so at the time ; but be that as it may, I know that nevi r again during my life did the sight of a fair landscai un der the rising sun fill me with such emo tion. I felt like one about to weep. Then I looked at that beautiful young woman, who, during two long months, had ministered to me with such loving care and kindness, lest I should feel lone ly at being so far away from my own home. She lieained with roseate health and youth, with goodness and frankness. In her, and in the splendid atvnery that seemed to make a background for her picture, there was summed up for nie all the greatest and mightiest jKietry of na ture. We walked on slowly without speaking to one another. I do not know if the morning air had intoxicated me, but I felt a lassitude that I could scarcely strive against. " I feel tired, Mariana," I said to her ; " let us rest here moment ; thou madest nie ntn about a little too much in the vil lage." " Then let us sit iliiwn, my young gen tleman," she answered. Mariana had tine jsntliar grace her sweet sjieech. She did not, lierhaiw, ex press herself with the elegance of the city women ; but the admirable tone of her voice a voice low, deep, melodious ami caressing lent a great charm to all that she aaid, We seated ourselves nam the tmnk of a tree that had been recently rut down She was not much inclined to chat that ilay. In order tolmake her talk, I asked her all aorta of questions at random. I even asked her about her hnshand, who had long been absent on military duty, never suspecting in giving this turn to the conversation I was venturing upon dan gemus ground. " When dost thou expect thy husband to return 7" I asked. " I do not know," she answered me, " if he will soon return. He wrote to me that he would not be long away ; but it is now six months or more since I got that letter, and I have not lu'ani arty fur ther news of him." "Thou must fee! lonely at home. Were you living long together liefore he went away 7" " Three weeks only." '"And thou must have cried for him a great deal when he went to join the service?" She smiled. How can It concern thee to know?" she replied. " Was it any harm to ask thee V " Xo," she answered, after moment's reflection, " It was not any harm. But dost thou wish me to answer thee very frankly to tell thee the w hole truth V " " Certainly, or else do not answer nie at all." Well, then, I w ill say to thee that I did not cry when he went away. I did not love him. I was married to him against my will." " And now thou dost not love anyone," I asked, with real interest. " Yes, I do," she returned, with a smile. "And may I know whom thou lovest r " Thou mayst." " Then who T' " I love this ring." And she held up liefore my eyes the little gold ring I had given her at the morning service. " But there is no sense in loving a ring an inanimate obje-t that cannot sak to thee that cannot tell thee one wish of the heart V Mariana blushed, but made no answer. And as she rcnuiincd silent a long time, I said : " Whv dost thou sav nothing? Is it l?cause thou hast suddenly liecome dumb T " Xo," she answered sweetly, " I have not become dumb, but I think it is better that I should lie silent, for I am very much afraid that all this talk would lead us to nothing good.' 44 Perhaps thou art right," I answered, a little dixapiNiintcd. Then rising, said : " Let us walk on let us go to thy sister's." " Yery well, let us go, my young gentle man," she responded, with a little sadness in her voice. - We had another verst and a half to walk liefore reaching the farm. For some moments we proceeded in silence occu pied w ith our thoughts. We came to a little grove of birch trees Suddenly Mariana turned toward me, and looking me full in the face, said, with a, blush : 1 wonld like I would like so nich to tell thee, but I could never dare to ell stjll, hon must know it J must tell thf&i, because if I do not tell thee I think I should die. Let . us sit down here, she continued, in a scarcely audible voice. We sat down. She seemed violently agitated. "This is how it is, my young gentle man," she said, very gently, and trem bling all over as she spoke. : "I love thee ; it can only cause thee pain and me much torment ; bat, for sure, and no mat- j ter what happens, I will never give up this little ring which thou didst give to me." I could not find a word in answer ; I held my peace, totally vanquished by the innocence of her avowal. We both felt ill at ease for awhile, but n a guh of tenderness overcame our etnliarrass tneut, and a long kiss made our - liim dumb. ; Then she rose up, all joyous. We anise and followed the road to the farm. She walked close to me, singing her mer riest songs, and looking at me from .time to time with her beautiful, caressing eyes. She seemed quite happy at having con fided in me, and at knowing that our hearts understood each other. At the farm-house we pamed a delight ful day. We took boat-ride on the Desna. Mariana, sitting by me, bathed me with her warm breath, and I could not inspire enough of it so sweet it was. It was almost midnight when we thought of returning home. The sky w as pure, the night was lukewarm one of those splendid April nights that are full of spring perfumes. The full moon flotal ed us with light. t When we again came to the little w ood of birch trees where I had received her tirxt confession, 1 proposed to halt a little while. " But why T she asked, with a serious tai-e ; " we are not yet tired ; it is not more than a quarter of an hour since we left the farm." " Couie, Mariana, do let us sit down, just for a minute." " But w hat for?" " Just to please me." Yery well, we shall sit down." " Who w as it that told me this morn ing, in this very place, that thou didst love me?" " It was I myself who told thee so." And suddenly, with unexpected quick ness, she rose and retreated from me. "Why go away from me? What art thou afraid of?" 1 l es, indeed, lam atraul, my young gentleman ; see how I tremble !"

Mahogany and other rare antl valuable wikmIh are dug up from muck beds on the estate of Captain J. C. Patterson, at Pen- sai-ola, Fla. Prof. Yon Filkenhater, of Xorway, who has examined this wood mine, states that the woods referred to are suitable for furnitureand the speci mens that have been examined are fully 5,000 years old. The ornamental Pisonia grandis of Austrailia has seeds like an elongated liarley corn, which are covered with a very -sticky gum. This adheres to the legs and1' feathers of winged creatures that come in contact with it, and makes the plant a natural bird-catcher, no less than a hundred hints having been known to lie captured by one tree alone in Vic toria. The quantity of txiison conveyed in the fangs of venomous snakes apicars to be very small, but of very fiowerful qual ity. Dr. Vincent Richards, of Bengal, mentions a krait which quickly killed three men and aeriouslyMisoned a fourth bv bites given in rapid succession. He estimated that the reptile carried eight grains of liquid venom in its taiison glands, which are smallerthan those of the cobra. Every living, active part of a plant contains a certain amount of water. Fmm many juicy parts ninety per cent, of wa ter can be exdled by drying; many greent leaves hold from seventy-five to eighty, while from seeds which we call "dry," it is sometimes passible to drive off almut ten per cent Part of this wa ter is so intimately combined with the plant structure, that, if it is once expell ed, it cannot be again taken up so as to restore the plant to its former condition, A most remarkable instance of the ex tension of the geographical distribution of a species is found by Mr. J. J. Walker, of the British navy, in a certain beauti tifnl butterfly. Starting from its original home on the American continent, where it is oalnmon from the Hudson Bay ter ritory to the estuary of the Rio de la Platta, this butterfly has been spreading, under our observation, into very remote regions.

Xo foundation is so amI but U t heaven may be imagined in its' bottom. Many of these Senators have peculiar habits of amusing themselves while they sit in the chamlier. Senator Hoar Is al ways swinging a bunch of keys, and he seems to be uneasy w hen he does not have them in his liands. Ingalls has two pairs of glasses for his eyes, tine is alpair of sjiectacles which I judge are for near sightedness, and the other is a pair of gold eyegUuwes which he uses to read by. Ingalls is very fond of playing with these eyeglasses. He holds them up by the black string with which they are fasten ed, and twirls them around between his thumb and finger holding his elbow on the arm of the chair while he looks about the Senate. Senator Mitchell is a great letter-writer, and his desk is always covered with papers. He scribbles away all day, ami he seems never to have an idle moment. He never sits still, and bobs from one seat to another, carrying laughter with him, and bringing a broad grin across the jaws of every Senator he meets by his good stories. .Mahone is another man who moves alsmt the Sen ate a good deal. His walk is a sort of strut, and the atmosphere alsmt him seems permeated with the won! " game'" He has a way of throwing back his head and waving his long lieard w ith a defiant air. He often pulls his lieanl, grasping a whole handful at the chin, and twisting the hair slowly as he goes downward the full foot of its length. He affects some eccentricities of dress. He is noted for dress. He is noted for wearing clothes of the finest quality, aud he occasionally has nifties on his fine linen shirts. He wears his vest unbuttoned very often,and his coat is cut in the shape of a bell w ith skirts full enough for hips twice bis size. x As I sit here now it is curious to watch the actions of some of these Senators. Cullum, of Illinois, is playing with a string, and Dolph, of Ihvgon, is tapping his knees with his spectacles. Eli Sauls bury, as tall as Jack's bean-stalk, is walk ing aliout the chamber w ith his lnunls in his pockets, and Senator t Seorge of Mis sissippi, has one of the ends of his gold spectacles frame in his right ear. and he is using this as an ear-pick. Henry B. Payne is picking his teeth with his knife, and as I look in I note that another Sen ator, w ho has been jierformiiig the same oieration upon his molars, has taken the blade out of his teeth and is cleaning his Jeeth and is cleaning his finger nails with it. Theknife isoftcnused asa tooth pick by Senators, and a half hour rarely paw- when one or more may not be seen touching their teeth with the cold steel of the penknife. Evarts, when he laughs, looks very much like the American engleon a broad grin. I have noted that Senator Hoar reails a great deal in the Senate Chamber and that the luniks often cover several different languages. Vnrp in the (Irrelrmd Isxulrr. A Bit of History. It was to certain survivors of the ill fated expedition of Narva to Florida that the world was indebted for its first information as to New Mexico. Xarvax, w ith a few hundred Spanish followers, landed at Tampa Bay, Florida, in l.'il'S. His exerience with the country and the natives did not encourage him to make pmtracted stay in that region ; indeed, it became a question with him soon how to escape from it as liest he might with those of his followers who had survived ngiiting. Hunger ami uisease. iv ith in finite difficulty the Spanianls constructed rude lsiats and attempted to coast along the ttulf until they should reach the Spanish settlements of Mexico. One of these boats was commanded by a Spanish cavalier of renown, Alvar Xunex Caliesa tie Vara, who became the first explorer of New Mexico. His laiat was cast ashore with one other on a low island off the coast of Louisiana. Of the Spanianls thus shipwrecked a few only survived the exjaisure and hunger which ensued, among them. Vaca, w ho, with three or four others, gained the mainland, and, after varied experiences with the Indian triln-s, wandered into Xew Mexico, be came acquainted w ith the natives of this Territory (who seem to have been of a much superior onler to those of the titilf and Texan region) and finally emerged into Mexico and reached the town of Cttlican in 1587, alsmt eighty years after his shipwreck. Vaca lived familiarly with more than one of the native tribes of Xew Mexico, and his account of them and the climate and productions of the country leaves no doubt as to his having been within the present boundaries of the Territory for several years, and there are those in the Territory now w ho liear his name and claim to Ih? his descendants. From the Let Vega (Irent Swithireii. How Postage Stamps are Made. Tlie design of the stamp is engraved on steel, and, in the printing, plates are used on which 200 stamps have been engraved. Two men are kept busy at work covering these with colored inks and passing them to a man and girl who are equally busy printing them with large rolling hand presses. Three of these little squads are employed all the time. After the small sheets of paper, containing 200 printed stauqis have dried enough, they are sent into another room, and gummed. . The gum used for this purpose is a peculiar romM)sition, made of the powder of dried potatoes and other vegetables, mixed with water. After having been again dried, this time on little racks fanned by steam power for alsmt an hour, they are put between sheets of pasteboanl, and pressed in hydraulic presses capable of applying weight of 2,000 tons. The next thing is to cut the sheets in two, each sheet, of course, when cut, contain ing 100 stamps. This is done by a girl with a large pair of shears, cutting by hand being preferred to that by machine ery, which would destroy too many stamps. They are hefl passed to another quad tf workers, who perforate the paper . ... . - . . i Del ween uie stamps, exi iney are pressed once more, and then packed and labeled and stowed away to be sent out to the various offices when ordered. If a single stamp is torn or in any way muti lated, the whole sheet of 100 stamps is burned.. Not less than 500,000 are said to be burned every week from this cause. The greatest care is taken in coonting the sheets of stamps to prevent pilfering by the employees ; and it is said that, during the past twenty yean, not a single stamp has been lost in this way. During the process, of manufacturing the sheets are counted eleven times. " " No, I didn't lose that leg in the war," replied a stranger yesterday, as he leaned np against the cold wall of the post -office. " I used to claim that my leg was shot off at the battle of Antietam, but one day something hapencd to cure me of lying. I was stumping along the highway iu Ohio, and stopped at a farm house to beg for dinner. " ' Where did you lose that leg ? asked the woman. "'At Gettysburg "'Sit down till I call my husband.' " He came in from the barn, and I was asked where my regiment was stationed in the Iwttle. " ' In the cemetery,' I replied "'Oh! Well, my son Bill was in the cemetery, too. I'll call him in.' " Bill soon came in, and he wanted to know w hat particular grave stone I took shelter behind. I said it was a Scotch granite monument. "'th, grunted Bill 'My brother was behind just such a stone, ami I'll call him in.' " Bob came in, and he swore a mighty oath that he was there alone. He sort o preempted that monument and remem bered the inscription to a won I. Howev er, to give me the benefit of the doubt, I was asked to name my company and reg iment. "'Company B, Fifth Ohio,' I pnunptlv answered. "'Oh! Brother Jim was in that com pany ; I'll call him in.'

One Puritan Brute. In a Massachusetts town, less than six ty years ago, in a public school the pun ishment sometimes surpassed in severity any illustrations yet given in Notes and Queries, with one or two exivptions. We state as fucts only w hat we saw with our own eyes. As in the Mayhew Svhil, hoys were sometimes required to tis- a crack, bend over and phu-e the forefinger upon another crack, and then, w ith ti.e body tense in every nerve, the in;iti-r would come slowly along, give a tremen dous blow with his cowhide, and w ith the short jackeL worn then, it hurt ! He bnke a ruler acmss the hm k of a Isiy's hand. More than once he drew Intck his clenched fist and, striking from his nhoiil der, knocked boys nearly as large as him self flat to the lliair; and one of these boys, now an old man, is still living. He took one boy by the heels, and slinging him round in a cin-le, brought his head (this was by accident) against a lox stove in the middle of the ftiior, and for a time the hoy was deprived of all sense or mo tion, until a physician came and relieved him. With what was called a crow or crowstick of wisal, he went at some Ibiv who had misread some wonl in the Xew Testament. Tlie boy darted down under one of the desks and crawled from one to another, now and then catching a blow, until he got near the dis.r, when the master caught him by the collar and threw him out into the street, and forbid any boy to give the sufferer his oven-oat or cap, though it was a cold w inter's day. tn one occasion he whipped a laiy w ith a cowhide, at intervals t hn High most of a forenoon, in onler to make him hold out at arm's length a heavy book. The girls in the school, many of them women grown, used to weep and shriek, and cov er their heads with their aprons to shut out the horrid sights. This day, the boy's sister, early in the w hipping, stood and cried out, "Hold it out, John; hold it out!" but later exclaimed, with her strong English accent, "Don't you hold it out, John, if he kills you !" The master's ilesk was a high one, and stood on a platform. One day he called out a boy, made him take off bis jacket, fastened his arms round the legs of the desk, and stood ami whipied him until the bloisi ran down and one could place one's fingers in the places in the fleshy iwirt of the ann made by the instrument of torture. We saw the punishment, the blood, the shirt rutin ribbons and the gashes. These facts and we might add to them were not a rt of the history of slavery nor are they extracted from " Uncle Tom's Cabin," but they mrum-d in Massachusetts free schools, and were substantially without rebuke. The mas ter was sometimes prosecuted at the law. The father of the writer, a leading lawyer at the liar, defended him, anil he was al ways acquitted. He paid the doctor's bills in the last case, and gave the boy's mother a load of wood, fur he was her only son and she was a poor widow. He was in many resiiects an excellent teach er; he kept the school for many years, and gave it up at tlie last from ill health, much to the regret of tlie community. He was a Christian by profession, kejt tip family prayers, but there were some who thought chiefly the boys that he was at times unduly severe in the inflic tion of punishment. Boiion Trnnfrrijil.

As I ran, I kept my eyes fixed on Brown, who wa acting in a singular manner. After every few seconds his head would lisapieur Wncath the water in which he stood, then it would apj'ar again. He seemed to l stropping vio lently. As I approached him he threw up bis hands and cried out, in aovnts that haunt me still: "For heaven's sake, Lieutenant, quick, and help me!" I dash ed out to him through water up to my waist. " What is it ? What has hold .f ymi I exclaimed. " It's a big oyster, or a big clam," he gnained. I was wading here, and stci ped into it, I expect. Its shell closed gripped uiy ankle and to save my life I can't get away and the tide will soon le over our heads here '. " he added with something almost like a sob. He luid been struggling here for fifteen or twenty minutes. 1 had heard of the triili-imt ii;,, ur monster clam, of this roost and itistanllv realized the danger of his situation. "Courage, old fellow!" I said. " I'll stick by you. lien-, hold this iall!c and the hatchet." I then ducked down under t lie water, and with my bunds felt alsmt his font. The huge niolluk had what might lie well termed a death-grip on him. The crea ture's shell was several feet lonz, and of proportionate breadth, and the weight of the shell fish must lime liecii at least :ini) pounds. The creature was attached to the coral rock by a grisly bvssus as thick as my arm. Raising myself, I got breath, then seizing the paddle, thrust the shaft of it Is'tween the converging edges of the two valves of the shell, anil usinu it asa lever, attempted to pry the she'll apart. But I could tint open it. lin-sn. tmi, ducking dtiwn, seized Imld with his hands and pulled w ith all lii strength, but exerting all our wer, we .nuld md release the monster's hold. .Vain and again I threw my w hole weight on the shaft of the uldle and at length broke it. By this time the water was up to my shoulders when I stood Fully realiz ing that w hatever I did must U- ilnue in a few minutes more, else the (mnr fellow would drown, I snatched the hatchet from Brown's hand, and diving, tried to cut under the shell, to break Hie crea ture's anchorage on the nsk. With might and main I cut and hacked then rose an instant for breath then down and tit it again. But it seemed us though I could not cut through the tough muscle. Fistr times I dived and with frantic haste cut at those tough byswi. " It stirs!" at length Brow n cried. brac ing his weight njain his free foot and lifting at it. Then, with a final blow the hysstis was severed, and the buoyancy of the water aiding us, we dragged the great iiiollusk still fast to Brown's ankle back to higher ground on the reef. Here the wa ter was waist-deep, however, and I look ed anxiously around for Mac, in the laka toi. To my inexpressible joy, he was close at hand, and la-tween us, we lifted Brown, w ith his now captured raptor, in to the canoe. Even then we cou'd not, both of us together, pry tlie Va!es of the shell apart enough to release Brown's font, till with a knife we had reached in and completely divided the tridaii-na sawing asunder the hinge muscles, at the liase of the bivalve. It was tm'y a gigan tic clam ; and asa poetic retribution uhiii it for this attempt on the life of niie of our party, we ate a irtion of its flesh for our supper, but found it rather tough. Brown's ankle was severely bruised and wrenched, and he stiffened for many a day from the vice-like grip of the huge moltlLsk. Yuiith'n f 'oitifMininn. Bill Nye on Jeff Davis. I see that Mr. Jefferson I hi vis. w ho has recently entered the lecture field, sjtys that there could have lani no nobler cause for which to die, no opia.rtunity more glorious for a proud and honorable death, than that afforded the Confederate soldier who eioiicil the cause of the South twenty years ago. Looking at it in that way, I ask, in all candor, why ti I not Mr. Davis improve that glorious oje IM.rtunity ? Feeling that way alsmt if, why did he not remove his polonaise and die like a mini? Why did he let such a chance go by, in onler that he might enter the lecture field and crowd out bet ter men, and then die of old age, w hen he could have hung his hoop-skirt on a tree and died in a way that would have endeared him to everv Southern heart.
