I wa ju.it twentyne when, having concluded my second term at college, I went on a visit to a relative in a lonely village of the mountains of Virginia. The picturesque scenery and a famous mineral spring in the vicinity brought many summer visitors thither, and ren dered the little place very gay during " the season." I was invited to innumerable dances, picnic?, and lawn parties, and it was at one of these latter that I met what I re garded as my fiite in the person of Fis Alice Carey, a lorely and piquant bru nette, juL-t two years my junior. She was the only child of a wealthy gentleman so my aunt informed me owner of a fine old country place called Rock Il;ll, only about a mile from the village. He was a very clever man. but bookish and unsocial, and averse to his daughter receiving visits Irom young men, to whom he generally alluded as "apes and popinj lya." "I think he would like yoc, Fran's." (aid my partial aunt. Your manners are so quiet aad gentlemanly, and you can converse so nicely upon literature and science and other things which we coun try people about here don't quite appre ciate. As to Alice, its clear that she likes you already any one could have seen it last evening and if you can make an equally favorable impression upon her father, your fortune u secured- I shall pay a vUit to Miss Carey Alice's aunt in a few days, and will take you w ith me ; and if you will pretend an interest in ilie old gentleman's musty books, and minerals, and things, and show o5 your Greek and Latin, I'm sure he,ll never in terfere with your viaiting Alice. She's worth the trouble, for it isn't every day that you meet with such a bright and pretty girl who is an heiress." "But," said I, doubtfully, "I heard from one of the young ladies that Jack Cunningham " Nonsense ! Of course we all know he is in love with her, but he's too wild to suit her father. In Cict, I have heard the old gentleman alludes to him as 'that scatter-brain.' And as for Alice herself, i she's a girl of taste, and could never pre- I fer Jack Cunningham to you. Why, I've heard her more than once making fan of his red hair." Thus encouraged, I next day at a pic nic devoted myself to the fair Alice, and was delighted to find that she very evi deutly appreciated me and my atten tions. We strolled together about the beauti ful grove, quoted poetry, talked romance and sentiment, and ate beef-and-rautton sanwiches from the same plate, 'until I overheard one of the girl's declare that Jack Cunningham's red hair had actual ly begun to turn green with jealousy and envy. On the following day, too impatient to wait for my aunt's promised visit to the Careys, I started ofT alone on a walk to Rock Hill, in the hope of having at least a glim pee of my charmer, who I had been told generally spent the pleasant evening hours with her aunt in an open summer house on their lawn. The place lay close to the tiver, and the walk was delightful, lying along the wooded bank of the stream, with droop ing boughs overhead. Unfortunately for me the hocr was rather early, the sun having not yet touched the summit of the mountains, and as I passed the fine old-fash ioned brick mansion which was the residence of my charmer, I saw no sign of her on the lawn or piazzas. I continued my walk still further, hoping to be more fortunate on my re turn. The pathway now became wild, wind ing up among the lonely hills. I had not progressed far when Lraet two men, who anxiously inquired if I had seen any one on the way. ' Theylwere looking for aa old gentle man a Doctor Fergus who had that evening escaped from the private lunatic asylum, situated some miles cp the river. In reply to my inquiry, they said that he was quite harm lew, though very troub lesome ; and that he had a monomania for fancying himself some distinguished personage, such as Gladstone or Napoleon Bonaparte. They passed en hurriedly and I par sued my walk, but hail not proceeded far when I came upon two yoong men en gaged in fishing, one of whom proved to be my rival, Mr. Jack Cunning ham. We exchanged formal greetings, but after pa King I paused to inquire whether they had seen anything of the escaped lunatic, repeating what the two men said to me. " We saw him about an hour ago," re plied Jack, "wading in the water above that point of rocks. He is harmless &s a child, and as he always enjoy these lit- ! tie seaaonsof liberty, and is invariably caught and carried back a&ie in a few hours, we did not care to interfere wita hire. This evening he is poring as the king of the Sandwkh IsUd!s, fantastic ally tricked oat with flowers and dragon flies. If yon chance to meet him, just ad dre bint a tnck, and you will see ESTABLISHED 1827. with what complacent dignity he re ceives it. 1 '": The sun was jo-at tooching the hilltops, when I thought it time to retrace my step. Arriving at a point whee a foot-path leading from the river into a wood cross ed the road, I was startled by suddenly encountering an old gentleman, in whom I had no difficulty in recognizing the Ir. Fargua of Jack Cunningham' descrip tion. ? lie we short and Stout and florid, and attired in a manner which would have betrayed to any one his unfortunate mental condition. . His trowsers were tucked into his boots, which latter were further made the re ceptacle of bunches fef ferns and other planta. His enormous straw hat was stuck full of grasses and insects impaled on pins, and aifainat h shoulder he car ried a pole or sceptre, strung ith frogs, lizzards and other suih reptiles. He stow led a I nearly ran against him, as he euieiyed from the croee-path, and I considered it my duty to apologize and that in a manner accepfab'e to him. r , - ... " A thousand pardons, your majesty !" I said, doilHuf Biy hat and bowing very low, as I stood buck to let hint go past. Instead of availing himself of this, he stopiI short and stared at me through bis gold-rimmed spectacles. " What do you uiean,ir7" he inquired abruptly, not to aay fiercely, " Only that, judging from your appear ance, I imagine you to be the king of the Sandwich Islands, of whom we have all heard. I am delighted to " You're an impudent cub, sir!" he re plied, flushing up, "and not worth the notice of the king of the Sandwich Is lands, Get out of my way !" And he passed on, and disappeared among the trees on the opposite side of the road. As I turned to look after him, I ob served the tower of the Rxk Hill man sion rising above the wood at no great distance. Under that roof lived A!iee,nd this mailman was taking his way. thither. At the least he might subject her to a severe fright, and from this possibility I toast at all hazards protect her. With this thought I immediately dart ed through the screening enderbruah, and arrived at the bottom of the lawn jut as the unfortunate lunatic came in sight. He did not perceive me, but advanced in a crouching, stealthy manner, now and then rising. cautiously erect to peer above the bushes, then stooping and peering under them, and occasionally making a wild flourish in the air with a little spoon-like net which he carried. Not fifty yardj away I saw Alice and a rnidjle-ag!l lady seated unsuspiciously beneath a drooping "!rn tree near the house. - Suddenly the lunatic perceived me, and stopping abort, surveyed me with a mingled expression of wirprise and an ger. "What are you doing here, sir?" he demanded. fcI have come to welcome you to my domains," I replied, assuming an expres sion of the utmost courtesy and defer ence. "Allow me to accompany your majesty over the grounds and point out the beauties of the place. First, we will g into the park and see the henla of deer and wild o.xen, which I am sure will in terest your majesty.' This was my idea for drawing him away from the house." He stood staring at me with an ex pression of vague bewilderment and a brin. " I am ahem ! the Marquis of Carri bas, and your majesty's very humble ser vant." Here I took the occasion, seeing that we had attracted thfc attention of the la dies, to wave my hand as a signal to re treat to the house. Instead of doing so, they at once came forward, and no sooner did the lunatic perceive this than he commenced hasti ly scrambling over the fence toward them. I sprang forward and seized him by one of hia short limbi. " Ran, ladies, run V I shouted, " He's a madman ! Send some one to help se cure him V The next moment he had pitched him self forward over the fence, but I hung on to him and we rolled oa the ground in a fierce struggle. Alice and Miss Cary ran up, uttering wild shrieks. "Oh, Mr. CaroL don't hurt him! Oh, let him go, please i" ' " He' a madman. He wants to mur der youj" I gapped. " Run,' Alice, for your life!" " ne's an escaped lunatic !" shouted fay adversary. "Here, John! Harry! bring your gana ropes! He's a mad man !" " Oh, papa, what can yoa mean? It' Mr. Carol, Mrs. Elison's nephew ! Oh, Mr. Carol, for goodness sake, don't choke papa" Before she had done speaking, and just aa two stable hands rushed opon the scene with a scythe-blade and a pitch fork, I had loosened my hold on the old gentleman, who stood glaring at me in speechless indignation. " I beg ten thousand pardons !" I said, in great embarrassment and confusion. "I I took Lira for an escaped luna tic" Alice glanced from her father to me, and back cgsin to her father, and with out a word burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. " Get off this place, sir !" gasped Mr. Carey, furioosly. "This shows what yoa are, sir, when yoa cannot meet with a gentleman collecting naturalist specimens without taking him for a madman. Where are the dogs ? Here, Ponto, Ti-: ger." "Please go, Mr. Carol, for your own safety," murmured Alice's aunt. " My brother wili be very sorry for this when he recover from his present excite ment." And with as much dignity a I could command, though in bitterness and hu miliation of spirit, I lifted my hat to the ladies and departed. All the following day I spent in a vain endeavor to find Jack Cunningham. I would have kept it sp longer, but that wherever I appeared people turned away to hide their laughter, and I knew that the story of what they called my "mad adventure" was enlivening the whole country-side. Alice herself had made it known, de scribing the scene in a manner which presented me in a most ridiculous light ; and the end of it was that I speedily shook the dust of that neighborhood from my feet, and sought elsewhere for green fields and pastures new. And to comolete my disgust, I learned six month afterward of the marriage of Mias Alice Carey to Mr. Jack Cunning ham, whose red head she had been wont to ridicule. Hints on Handling Bees. Just before aaarasing, bee fill them selves with honey, which supports them in their new home until they get work again. This is an exceedingly fortunate thing for the beekeeper, as it makes them much more kindly and easily handled than they would otherwise be. With bees, as with men, they are best natured when on full stomachs. In the colder portions of the country protecting the hives is necessary, either by placing them in cellars or packing in cbatf ; in milder sections and iu the south they will pass the winter well on summer stands. In handling bees fearlessness is a wonder ful protection. A person who fights them or tries to drive them, is quite sure to be stung. Still, it most be admitted that there is something about persons that gives to a few immunity from bee stings, that others cannot obtain. The safest way for the average lee keeper is to protect one's self as well as possible by the dresa. Use a smoker, and proceed as you would about any oth er work, taking care not to crush or in jure a bee. Occasionally a colony will attack a horse that ha been driven or led too near their stand. When thia occurs they often exhibit a vindictivenesa and perseverance that is not oniy wonderful, but dangerous. Horses that have been heated by driving and become sweaty are more obnoxious to them than the same animals would be when iu their normal condition, grazing near the hives. There are so many things to be learned abont bees that persons without experience in the business, who design keeping them, should buy one of the nu merous books on the subject, or sub scribe for a good paper devoted to bee keeping. Causes of Typhoid Fever. Typhoid fever is more properly a dis ease of many co-operating causes than a disease which can 1 traced to any one cause, Ir. Frank Woodbury declares in a letter to the Wilkesbarre R-rjrl. The doctor has been spending a few weeks at (ilen Summit, and has taken considera ble interest in the typhoid epidemic now raging at Wilkesbarre, at the foot of the mountajn.JELi undoubtedly true, he says, that an infected water supply is the most common cause of an outbreak of the disease, yft the other sources of in fection are not to be overlooked. The susceptible state of the system brought on by exhaustion from working in a hot, humid atmosphere, by chilling cf the body, or by excessive eating and drink ing: also defective drainage, emanations from an infected soil, the co-existence of malaria and the exceptional climatic con ditions of the present summer, all are elements that must be considered in trac ing the causes cf typhoid. It is not at ail proved, he say?, that any bacteriaHorm is the exclusive and efficient eause. The existence of a mi crobe is possible, but it is not correct to assume that this has been incontroverti bly establinhed as a scientific fUct Kph theria is an analogous disease, which has likewise been ascribed to a specific micro organism, yet an exhau-ttve experiment al study of the subject has positively shown the impossibility cf any such spe cific germ, the supposed bacterium of diptheria having its representative al ways present in the fluids of the mouth. In the same way malarial fever, which for many years has been attributed to some form of micro-organism and has been declared to be the result of some form of low vegetable life, is now proved to be due to no such cause. It is even doubtful whether the famous bacillus tuberculosis is not the companion rather than the cause of tuberculosis. The life of the flesh is the bl i, and not until biological chemistry has cleared up this field of investigation will men be able to declare positively what are the real causes of disease. Wear no Flannel. There is no rea son why you should remain thin, or have cold feet and corns, as you complain of. I was that way myself once, but, as a cure, our old negro cook told me to wear flannel or woolen waistbands, that is to say, cover my body from chert to hip with flannel or woolen next to the skin besides regular summer or winter cloth ing, and to keep the band on all the year round. I tried it some years ago, and at first I saw no change in my size or waist measurement, but I couldn't button my waistband, add I moved the buttons. Before three months passed I moved the buttons four times. I still wear the flan nel, and yoa see the size cf my girth. I am not uncomfortable, and can truly say I have not been chilled through since I put 00 the band. The extra covering over the stomach causes a gTeat internal heat, which is carried by the blood to all parts of the body, and this heat aids digestion, ami altogether I think the woolen waistband solves the question of dyspepsia and indigestion. As for cold feet and corns, I promL-e yoa that if yoa scrub your feet in cold water every night before 'going to bed, f-r sixty days, your feet will not bother further, and not only that, but yoa will hive to get a shoe a size smaller than you have been wearing, if not two sizes smaller.

JL Choosing a Profession. Twenty year ago Thomas ScoCt, of Pejinsylvania, one of the shrewdest of railway men, spent a few days in a coun try village. An attractive, bright-faced boy in the boose where he boarded at tracted his notice. He asked the school master what was the capacity of the lad. "He is dull," was tHe reply. Thkk headed and incapable, though willing enough to learn. His father wishes to make a chemist of him, but he cannot master the first principles of that .-i-ence. Mr. Scott, watching the lad, observed that in the alLtirs of daily life his judg ment was clear cod jost, and his observa tion keen. He showed, too, a singular faculty for managing his school-feilows. The boy's parents were induced to lake him from achool, and Mr. Scott gave him work in the yard of a railway. "Now," he said, "yoa have no longer to do with books, but with things and men. Make your own way. I believe you can do it." It was the first time that the boy had been told that he was not wholly a dolt. He proved to lie energetic, intelligent, and enthusiastic ia his work. There was a certain firmness and cordiality in his manner which gave him control over his associates. He was soon sent cut npon the road in charge of a gang of men. A few years Liter, when Mr. Scott came that way again, the young man was superintendent of a division. He afterward rose steadily to the front rank in bis omfesHiuw. A boy is tooapt to be influenced in the choice of his life-work by some ac cident or petty motive. His fitherand grandfather were successful physicians or manufacturers, or butchers, and it seem natural and rihtfor him to follow ia their foot-steps. Or his intimate friend at college is Kiin to study law ami he must do the same. Sometimes a pious father and mother cherish a fond hope that the boy will devote his life to preaching the gospel, and rather than disappoint tern, he does it, without real fitness or zeal for the work. In each case the lad's life is a failure for the want of a little deliberation aad a careful examination of his natural abilities. Among the readers of the Oim-msiw there are tens cf thousands of boys who most soon make choice of their profes sion or trade, one of the most momen tous earthly questions th:U will be set before them. Ixm't be in a hurry, '.ys. Do not Vt an incident decide for voo. Do not choose an occupation because it is more . 1 . ... "zenteel than others, it is the man who gives character and dignity to his occupation, as to his clothes. Do not thick because yoa were rated J'jli at school that tliere m no honorable place for yoa in the world. There are talents and powers which do not deal with books. God sends no one into the world without providing some occupa tion for him in which he may earn re spect, Yoa have yours. But tike care that the work is that for which the tool is fitted. The mere kct that the work seems pleasant aa attrac tive to you does not prove that it is fitted to your faculties. You may be ambitious, but you cannot climb a ladder without feet and hands. Learn the strength of vour feet and hands, find the right ladder, and then trust only in God and to youiseif to make your way up. Youih'i VoiRpunit.n. Speed of Trains. The flat front of a locomotive and its projecting cab are highly unsuitable for rapid movement through an atmosphere which has a pressure so great as fifteen j pounds per square inch, and therefore j considerable inertia. The remedy f.jr this is simple, and ahead resistance would be much reduced by confor.nicg, approximately, an engine front to the well-known shape cf a boat or ship. It is very much wiser, however, to redone the air resistance at the rear of a train. A marine architect who made his ship's stern absolutely rectangular and fiat would be counted a worse man than he who made a blajf bow, aad yet railwsy engineers have for fifty years been drag ging flat-stem vessels at fifty miles per hour through the atmosphere at an ua- mense espenditare of power and no one of hem has cared to test the elfeci of adding a light tapering frame to tae end of a train and noting the decreased re-. sistance, although every one is famiiur with the rash of air which follows a train in its attempt to fill cp a vacuum n formed. As in water, so in air, so the formation of eddies means low of power, and the application to the rear end of is Cist train would convey some idea of the folly of the practice of t -dy. Suppose such a gauge showed an inch of water. This is equivalent to a vscuum of l-it poun I, and the end surface of a car being about eighty feet implies a total pull of say 42 pounds, which at sixty miles an hour is equivalent to sixty horse power. A tneie tenth of an inch, thertf jre, woaid imply one or two tons of t:oa! every I0O hours' run, all of which would be saved by a light frame of a parabolic plan attached j to the rear car. This theory may be en- j tirtiy wrong, oat reason points to its being correct, as does also the pratice of j shipbuilders, who deal with a denser fluid which, being denser and ponder- j able has forced consideration of its prop erties earlier than the lighter fluid, air J the eddies of which are visible only by dust in dry seasons and generally nn.en j and unfeit mil no railway engineer try the experiment? A Mine of Valuable Wood. Forty miles above New Orleans is the old bed of the Bonnet Catre crevas--. Fifty years ago the Father of Waters burs his bonds and swept through there to Lake Pjntchatrain. Five years ago the State of Louisiana, with the assistance cf the Mississippi Valley railroad, rebuilt the Bonnet Carre levee, bat it could not re store altogether theconditions prevailing antecedent to the crevasse. The river in the ten years it passed through the swamp piled np the sands against the big erpress forests there. It has left behin 1 a Iriried forest. The piled up sand has dea.Jensl nearly all the tress, and a shingle mill is now at work there nianafscturicg them into shingle with all the rapidity with which that machine works. N.

The bolt is about a loot long, and at the end is a large ring, two or three in- thes in diameter. The bolt itself is as thick as tut onli- narv Malacca cane. The eel weighed about two st ne and was a yard and a half long. His swal lowina canacitr mav be i i-ieed from the fack that a goodsized mackerel was also stomach.

A curious feature of the case is that the fish was blind in one eye.
