Julia Watson was not only a beautiful girt,
with dark brown hair thal would curl in spile
oi a comb and brush, bright (lashing eyes
ilial had concealed in their deplhs a world of
mischief, and plurrfp cherry lips that seemed
made for lemplalion—but she was the only
child o( a wealthy farmer—a combination of
charms which is seldom found, even in this
country. She was the toast of the gallants
tar and near, many of whom had made des
perate efforts to secure the prize, but so far
in vain. Strange to say of one in her situa
tion —it was so different from our usual ob
servation —she was neither haughty nor co
nuetish; she was no shield of cold disdain to
repel approaches, nor did she invite Ihe at
tention of suitors, only to triumph in their
rneclion. She was food of lun and frolic,
ful. of such innocent mischiefs as are merely
provocative of good-humored gaiety but
sue never trilled with honest affection. Her
nnsuccessiul admirers, with a single excep
tion. were ever warmest in her praise—a
tribute to her character worth' volumes of
panegyric
The exception was a dandyish fortune
li'inler, who was willing to lake the cffarm*
mg girl as an incumbrance upon her father’s
uroad acres, and who fancied that the wordy
cloud of incense he poured forth at her feet,
would hide his selfish design : his discom
fiiure when he saw the thin disguise was pen
etrated, vented itself in a volley of abuse,
which served to mike its author more ridic
ulous
Julia was two years beyond her teens, and
still bloomed—an unplucked flower—in her
lather s dwelling. In answer to all raillery
on the subject, she declared her Intention of
clinging lo that respectable sisterhood, yclept
old maids; and the assertion was, of course,
alwavs received with a smile of incredulity.
There lived in the neighborhood a young
larmer whose parents were both dead, and
who kept open the parental mansion,through
me assistance of an antiquated colored do
mestic, heir loom in the family. After re
ceiving in his boyhood all the polish which
could be bestowed upon a rising genius in the
village school, he had gone lo nature
in the field : in olher words, his active youth
had been passed in the cultivation of the soil,
and sturdy manhood, a noble specimen of
what industry, self-ieliance, honesty towards
men, and reverence towards God, can pro
duce oul of our fallen hummnv. Ills face
was embrowned by many a harvest sun, but
n sd'i wore that genial smile so attractive lo
children, which no hypocrisy can imitate. —
Ilis hand was hard, but it was ever open to
me poor: and the desolate stranger, or the
afflicted neighbor who soughi his grasp, loved
iis very roughness, and it was such a strong
hand to cling lo
William Farrington had reached his twen
tv.fifth year, and was still unmarried. Many
an aspiring damsel had “set her cap” for
Dim, but he refused to he caught; at last, by
common consent of all the gossips of the
place, he had been e'ecled a suitable bride
groom for our heroine. Had his kind friends
wno thus voted him n bride, known how ar
denitv he loved the object of I heir choice,
ihev would have wondered slijl more at his
nroiongec bachelorship. The truiji was,
Wuuam could not summon courage enough
to declare his love. Although he had no
skill in the polished small talk of drawing
rooms, he could still appear in society to
very pood advantage, save when in company
with the girl he loved. Then his presence
oi mind always forsook him; his strikingly
handsome figure became by its carriage rude
and clumsy ; his two hands seemed one 100
many, and his longue lost the power of ut
terance
Julia was not insensible to the attachment
she had inspued, nor lo the diffidence which
stood in the way of its declaration. Through
all the granite, she had the good sense lo dis
cover the heart of gold ; but a certain maid
enly modesty prevented her from making any
aovances to remove the difficulty. Besides;
lucre was plenty of lime, and she had full
faith in her faiher’s oft-quoted maxim, “wher
tver there's a will there's a wav.”
William, on his part, made many desper
oie resolves, but they failed upon trial. He
nao essayed writing, but he never could gel
"10 secret of his heart even to paper, and
never got beyond a few broken sentences'.—
Often after the labors of the day were over,
no had gone to seek an interview, but his
courage always failed him at (he last mo
ment, and he would hastily retrace his steps,
or if discovered by the family, feign some
other errand. At length he resolved to teal
his courage by daylight, and accordingly to
wards (he close of a fine afternoon, he found
himself before the door. He lifted up the
knocker, (his heart meanwhile pounding a
scries of double , knocks against his waist
coat,) and let It tall again upon the brazen
kail. It was a modest appeal Tor admission,
•mi to him seemed louder than a stroke of
'ke church bell, and he Would fairly have
mn away, had he not heard oppronohiug
footsteps. Julia herself came to admit him,
and the slight blush upon her cheek, as she

his, words clpng t,o his heart like a hook in
the mouih'of a fish, and ho delivered them
gaspingly,.; ; , . .
“Miss Jul—-hem—Miss VVatson may I—a
—is your laiher at home 1”
He koevy this was ap inglorious conclu
sion for such a spasmodic effort, but he seized
it as a drowning man would catch a si raw..
“Yes, faiher is about home; shall I call
him?" she replied, half raising from her
seat.
“No!” he said, with startled energy
then fi ighlened at his impetuosity,, added —
“that is—l would—hope he is well.”
It was evident he was not “gelling on,”
and here he came lo a dead halt. She saw
that he had some communication of impor
tance to make, and her heart whispered the
secret in advance; instead, therefore, of
coming to his relief by turning the .conver
sation into a smoother channel, she left him
to flounder on among the breakers. Me tried
lo think of one of the many speeches he bad
conned for the occasion, but they were all
mixed in his memory, a mass of tangled
words, and ho could not catch the end of the
skein. Mis color came and went, varying
almost with each breath, and the moment of
silence which ensued, seemed lo him an oge
of suffering. Growing desperate, he began
again ;
“Miss Watson—l have called to say—to
ask—to do —de—in short, lo tell you hqw
much I love you!" The effort was too much,
and the strong mao, who would have sat un
der the surgeon’s knife without blanching,
fainted outright and sank upon the cushions.
Julia had watched his varying hue, but
had not aniicipaled this sudden catastrophe.
With admirable presence of mind she/an to
the mamel, whore upon a narrow shelf had
stood, from time immemorial, a bottle of
camphor spirits—the universal remedy for
syncope.
Now it happened that farmer Watson, like
many other hard-working men, whose sin
ews have been over strained, was troubled
with a rheumatic shoulder, and had procuied
a bottle of liniment to be used as a molify
mg embrocation. This bottle had for the
moment, usurped the place of the aromatic
solution, and was mistaken for it on this oc
casion. With her eyes fixed on the pallid
face of her lover, the frighicncd girl hastily
drew ihe cork from Ifle bottle, and pouring
some of the liquid into her hand, spread it
upon his forehead.
Whether it was the odor of the fragrant
compound, or the thrilling touch of the trem
ulous hand, which brought the young man to
consciousness, 1 cannot tell, but be immedi
ately revived.
The world may laugh, as it will, at such
timidry, and rail at my hero as a country
clown, but I am sure the sensible girl, now
many years a happy wifu, would not have
exchanged the purity and freshness of the
heart, thus struggling (o lay itself at her
feet, for all (he ease of a hackneyed lover,
who can discourse eloquently of a passion,
wiih the fluency of one who has nothing at
stake.
"Do tell me," said a city visitor to her on
one occasion, “if the report-was true, that
your husband fainted away while making his
declaration.”
“Yes,” she replied, with a quiet smile, "I
believe T must confirm the story, and I have
a fancy,” she added, thoughtfully, "that
timidity in a lover, is in general, a sign of
innocence, and 1 cannot help thinking that
when a man is fluent in love making, either
his heart is not in it, or he has had 100 much
experience in the art.’’
Flowers. —How the universal heart of
man blesses flowers'! They are wreathed
round the cradle, the marriage altar and the
tomb. The Persian in the for east deligh's
in their perfume, and wri’es his love in nose
gays, while the Indian child of the far west
clasps his hands with glee as he gathers the
abundant blossoms—the illuminated Scripture
of the prairies. The Cupid of the ancient
Hindoos tipped his arrows wiih flowers, and
orange flowers are a bridal crown with us,
a nation of yesterday! Flowers garlanded
the Grecian altar, and hung in votive wreaths
before the Christian shrine. All these are
appropriate uses. Flowers should deck the
brow of the youthful bride, for they are in
ihemsehreh a lovdy type of marriage. They
should twine round the tomb, for their per
petually renewing beauty is a symbbFof the
resurrection.
They should festoon the altar, for their fra
grance and their beauty ascend in perpetual
worship before the Most High.— Mts.Child,

£av(gtitqrsßeeled (heir belief, in, ibe.nqyih,
it has not had sufficient data to claim alien
lion. A few minds, keen from observation
and Sagacious from nature still, clung to the
aocieiit story and suffered if hot .to <jie,—
One of these minds was Dr. Kane, who (iow
returns home with tidings that the lost sea is
Ibund I ,
Our readers doubtless pursued the narra
tive of the Kane Expedition with a breath
less attention, and from it learned that the
intrepid navagntor left his vessel fast in the
almost impenetrable mountains of ice in lati
tude 78 deg. 45 1 north, pushing his way in
sledges and on foot to latitude 82? 30' where
he stood upon the shores of, to his eyes a
limitless pea. Three thousand square miles
did hp scan with eyes and glass, and yet qo
bounds to that expanse of water werp found;
for fifty-two hours did a heavy gale from the
north heave up- the heavy surf, and yet it
brought down not a panicle of ice—showing
that around the polo all was ocean life in
stead of frigid death. Thus was the veil
penetrated; surprise seized upon the philo
sophical speculator, and now the world is
busy at the resolution of this wonderful prob
lem of a Northern’Sea.
Ist. The doctor represenls those waters as
limpid as any summer sea. By what pro
cess in Nature can that high latitude so mod
ify the temperature of the air as to leave the
sea unfrozen I Where the Doctor wintered
the thermometer often stood at 60° below
zero, and yet in a still more notherly clime
there is a sea which is never frozen. Sci
ence stands slupified, for all its axioms are
repudiated and new laws are needed to rec
oncile the facts to theory.
2d, Bird and fish life is there existent in
the utmost profusion. There the awk and
eider duck range io unlimited freedom, while
whales and walrus sport in such herds as
make the waters swarm with their huge mer- :
rimenl. Can thebe ell live wiihoiit proper
food 7 Does the duck infest these regions
without its berries and grasses and bulbs for
sustenance 1 Here, then, is another query
for the speculator to answer and the mystery
of the Northern Sea grows more and more
exciting. 1
Over the grand ice barrier which Dr.
Kane passed was a new land, and he called
it Washington, giving names also to the bays
and capes. Beyond this is that sea, and
that sea bathes the intangible North Pole—
it hold the mystery of the Northern Lights
in its keeping—it keeps the secrets of its
own life within its bosom; will man ever
solve that secret, and open up that unknown
world 1 We shall patiently await in hope;
for, in our minds, is a vague thought floating
that the sea which whirls around the pole of
this earth holds in its keeping the key to a
thousand mysteries, and we have faith to
think that in our years—should they be three
score or more—that mythic sea shall give
up its long kept secret. —Sandusky Register.
Examination or Attorneys. —The fo|.
lowing examination of a certain candidate
for admission to the bar, taken from a west
ern law journal, is decidedly a good one.—
The examiner commences with—
“Do you smoko 1” .
“I do sir.” 1
“Have you a spare cigar ?"
“Yes sir.’* (Extending a short six.)
“Now, sir, what is the first duty of a law
yer ?”
“To collect fees.”
“What is the second ?”
“To increase the number of his clients."
“When does your position towards your
client change?”
“When making a bill of costb.”
“Explain."
“When they occupy the antagonist’s posi
tion, I assume the character of pliantiff, and
they defendant.’’
“A suit decided, how do you stand with
the lawyer conducting the other side?”
“Cheek by jowl,"
“Enough, sir,—you promise to become an
ornament to your profession, and I wish you
success. Now, you are awaremf the du'y
you owe me.”i
“I am, sir.V
“Describe it;”
“It is to incite you to diiuk.”
“But suppose I decline ?”
(Candidate scratching his head) - - -
“There is no instance of this kind on rec
ord in the books! I-can’t answer the ques
tion. ”
“You are right, and the confidence with
which you make (he assertion shows that

hammer,hud made a small windmill, exactly
like the large.one; it was a very neat end
.curiotis piece of workmanship. He some
times set it on the house-top, that' the wind
might 1 turn it- round. He also contrived to
cause a mouse to turn his mill. This little
animal being put inside a hollow wheel, its
endeavors’tb I 'get forward turned the wheel
and set the (hachinery irt motion. There
wOs alsii scald porn placed about the wheel,
and when the mouse tried to get at the corn
it made the wheel go round. Having got an
bid box from a friend, Isaac made it into a
water clock—that is a clock driven by' it
small fall of Water. It is very much like our
Lemmon clocks, and about four feet high.
At the lop was a dial plate, with figure? of
the hours. The hour hand was turned by a
piece of wood, which either fell or rose by
whiter dropping upon it. This stood in the
room where he lay, and he look care, every
morning, to supply it with plenty of water..
It pointed out the hour so well, that the peo
ple of the house would go to see what was
the hour by it. It was kept in the house
as a curiosity long alter Isaac went to col
lege, The room m which he lodged was full
of drawings of birds, beasts, men, ships, and
mathematical figures, all neatly made upon
the wall with charcoal. When Isaac grew
a little older, and went to college, he had a
great desire to know something about the air,
the water, the tides and the sun, moon and
stars. One day when be was sitting alone
in his garden, an apple happened to full to
the gruuud. He then begun to ask himself,
What is tie cause of the apple fulling down?
Is it from some power or force in the apple
itself, or is the power in .the earth, which
draws the apple down? When he hud long
thought about this subject, lie found out that
it was the earih. tliat attracted or drew the
apple down, ana that this power ot attraction'
is one of the laws of nature. By it, loose
objects are retained upon the surface of the
earth, instead of Hying abroad through space
You have learned that this earth is a globe,
which turns over, day after day. It is attrac
tion, which gives weight la objects; hence it
is sometimes called gravitation, which means
nearly the same thing as weight. Isaac
Newton also discovered that all objects what
ever have an attraction for each other, artd
always in proportion to theirsizeand the dis
tance at which they are placed. Thus the
moon, though a largo globe, is under the at
traction of the earth, and the planets are un
der the attraction of the sun. And it is by
attraction they are all made to keep their pro
per distances from one ono'her. These dis
coveries were justly considered as the most
important ever made; and for h ; s having
made them, reflecting men will ever venerate
the name of Newton, He was also the first
who showed that every ray of light from, (he
sun consists of several different colors ; and
he made known many other curious and won
derful things which were never known before.
He was of a mild and equal temper, and
was seldom or never seen in a passion. He
had a little dog which he called Diamond.
Ho was one d ty called out of his study, where
all his papers and writings were lying upon
a table. His dog Diamond, happened to
jump upon the table, and overturned a light
ed candle, which set fire to all his papers,
and consumed them in a few moments. In
this way Newton loel the labor of many
yeais. But when he came into the study,
and saw what had happened, he did not strike
the little dog, but only said, “Ah, Diamond,
Diamond I thou little knowest the mischief
thou has done!’’
Though Isaac Newton was a very wise
and learned man, he was nut proud of his
learning, but was very meek and humble.
He was' kind to alj, even to the poorest aad
meanest man. Though he was wiser than
most other men, yet he said, a little before, he
died, that all his knowledge was as nothing
when compared with what he had yet to I am.
He was sometimes so much engaged in think
ing, that his dinner was often three hours
before he could be brought to the table. He
died in the year 1737, at the age of eighty
five.
Blind People.— Sianly, ibe organist, and
many blind musicians, have been (.tie best
musicians of (heir lime ; and a school-mis
tress in England could discover that,-two
.boys were playing in a distant corner of ~the
room.instead of studying, although a person

quired of ibe'firsi dne hesaw, if they had the

the same question and received the same
answer of three or four others. Finally he
found a landlord who assured him that he had
no cholera in his house, and there the Dutch

“Have they got the cholera ?'*
“No, but mine Got in Himmil! da has got
