Mike tool: a notion to go in swimming, and he had just got his clothes off when he saw Deacon Smith's bull making at him—the bull was a vicious animal, and had come near killing two or three persons—conse quently Mike felt rather " jubus." Ile didn't want, to call for help (Jr he was naked, and the nearest place from whence assistance could ar rive was the meeting-house, which was at that time filled with worshippers. among whom WA the " gal that. Mike was paying his devours to.' So he dodged the bull as the animal came a him, and managed to catch him by the tail lie was dragged round till nearly dead, an when he thought he cou hold on no longer, he made up his mind he h better " holler."— ) And now we will let hi tell his own story : So looking at the matter in all its bearing, I corn to the conclusion that I'd better let sonic one know whar I was. So I gin a yell louder than a locomotive whistle, and it wasn't long before I seed the deacon's two dogs n cemin' down like as if they war seeing which could get titer fust. I know'd who they were aster --they'd jine the bull agin me, I was Sartin,. for they were orful wenomous. and had a spite agin me. So says I, old brindle, as ridin' is as cheap as welkin' on this route, if you've no objections, I'll jilt take a deck passage on that ar' back o'yourn. So I wasn't very long get ting astride of him ; then, if you'd bin titer, you'd have sworn thar warn't nothin' human in that 'ar mix, the silo flew so orfully as the critter and I rolled round the field—one dog on ono side and one on the other, tryin' to clinch my feet. I prayed and cussed, and cussed and prayed, until I couldn't tell which I did at last—and neither warn't of no use, they were so orfully mixed up. ' Well, I reckon I rid about half an hour this way; when old brindle thought it were time to • stop to take in esapply of wind, and cool off a little.

But an idea itruok me then tht t I stood a heap better chance a ridin' the bill than war I was. Sez I, old feller, if you'll lhold on, I'll ride to the next station anyhow, let:that be whar it will.

Well, I reckon they got it. for " all hands" started for our company. Some on 'em hit the dogs—about a quart struck me, and the rest charged on brindle.

I seed him hold up his hand and turn white. I reeboned he was prayin' then, for he didn't expect to be called for so soon, and it warn't long neither, afore the whole congregation—men, women and children—cum out, and then all hands went to'yellin.', None of 'em had the fast notion that brindle and belongea to this world.

Such flights of locusts have from time io time been recorded in history, as marking the de vastation every where caused by their num bers. In the year 593 a famine was caused in Tur key and Persia by their consumption of the fruits and grain of the fields. In 677 Syria and Mesopotemia were overrun by them.

After traversing the continent of Europe, they were driven at last into the Baltic sea, where being thrown back on the shores, they caused a dreadful pestilence by their putrefac tion. In l:271 all the corn fields around Milan were destroyed by locusts ; in 1329 all those of Lombardy : amt in 1541 such incredible hosts of them alllicted Wallachia and Moldavia, that they darkened the sun by their numbers, and ravaged all the fruits of the eartii.—Sa .

Gray hair is caused by disease or putrefaction of the encircling fluids which nourish the hair through the pores. When this fluid or matter is exhaled to the sortie, being, diseased, it emits its virus, or poison, into the hair, and the consequence is that the hair turns white, or falls out from the scalp, The hair then be comes very thin upon the head, and baldness ensues. Many are the causes of this putrefac tion of the circulating fluids—such as long con tinued illness, excessive feVers, nervous 'de rangement causing continual pain to the head, • grief, anxety, intense thinking, too close atten tion to business—last, and not least, intemper ance, and other unmentionable excesses, which arc more deleterious to the constitution, and general health of the system. Gray hairs, in young persons, generally commence at the point or other end of the hair - --and the reason for this singular freak is, that the disease from the pores of the scalp runs through the hair toward the point, and upon finding the point closed, on account of negligence on the part of the person in not having the hair cut in proper time, so as to keep it in a healthy condition, the virus in the hair, from the pores, turns it white at the point, and it works gradually hack to the so-called root of the hair, end the whole' hair soon becomes white. 'to oliviate'this, so soon as observed, the person or persons sliould orply to a skillful hair cutter, andhave the ends of the hair .nt off in a scientific manlier. In persons advanced in years the hair begins to be come white at the so called roots, instead of the points, in the 'former case. • KISSINU. AUGUST' 29, 1855. How Shot are Made. [The New York correspondent of the Congre gationnlist gives the following information o this subject t] On one of the hottest days last week, ns was passing up Water street on the shaded side T noticed a gust of lint air from a store T wa passing, which struck my cheek with the burn ing force of a sirocco. Curious to ascertain ito entered the store and drew miar the hatchway, from ivhence it seetned to proceed. Down. from the stories above came pouring a shower of silver drops, which disappeared in the vapor from the apartment beneath. The' gen tleman who was standing near, perceiving my curiosity. thrust a slid: beneath the while drops and drew it forth covered with melted lead. Tt was a manufactory of shot. The first method of making 'round shot, was by abraSion ; a number of small rough chips or particles of lead were shaken together in a bag o• box until they were worn into a spherical shape : o•, from a sheet of lead, small cubical bits were separated with a punch, and gr' and between two flat stones, until they wet.; rounded, as a pill is made between the pain :of theluu The next process was by ens gin a nonld, as bullets are now made, but this, - des being slo•,v and tedious, did not make the shot asper fect as desired.

A Long and inervasing Family. The tapeworm, or Ininia, receives its name from is resemblance to a mason's tape. It is the wu•st of the various species of worms which afflict :he human family. Some of them are ex c.,eilin;.ly long ; they vary from a few feet•to fli), :10,30, and even 100 feet. It is jointed, re!: setnbliag a measuring tape spaced out in incite's. Every joint of this worms is, in reality, a dis tinct worm ; the creature is at first broad and short ; when it multiplies in the boWels, the young adhere to it and each other endwise, so as to form a sort of chain, \Odell lengthens as they continuo to increase, and at last becomes injuriously long, hence merely breaking this worm does not destroy it, for any separate link is One entire worm, and cannot be injured by being Separated front the others. This is the reason why great care must be exercised to re move the worm entire, and not to break it, for if but one link is left k propagates, and soon increases its tenacious brood, uniting them to itself. The gold trap for catching the tape worm, recently invented :by Dr. Myers, of . Lo gansport, Indiana, and which we have already described in this paper, is said to have been (Mite successful in the tape-worm fishery.— Think of a patient fishing or trapping for game - •in his own insides. ‘ . .jc s ii they fed upoi rind the pine trees; and this Cean the invention of a woman, was long admired, and extensively used, both in the East and at Rome, for female dresses. They were, however, after a while, superseded by the Chinese silks, which at that early period were so costly that but few, comparatively, could allord to wear them. Aurelian is said to have complained that a pound of silk was Sold at Rome for twelve ounces of gold. The Phoenician women some times unravelled these costly fabrics, and mul tiplied the precious material by a looser texture and an intermixture of linen threads. For inure than two hundred years after the age of Pliny. the use of silks was entirely confined to the fe male sex ; and it is said that the Emperor Elagabalus was the first Roman, who, by the adoption of this effeminate habit, " sullied the dignity of an emperor and a man." Silk was applied to the Romans by the agency of the Pershing, who in their turn, procured it. with quantities of aloes, cloi'es, nutmegs and sandal wood, from the Chinese merchants, and conveyed it to their own country, at first by long, toilsome, and dangerous journeys in cam nans, and subsequently by vessels which car ried on a beneficial trade between the silk mer chants of China and the inhabitants of the Per sian Gulf. As the use of silk became more and more in dispensable to the Romans, and the Emperor Justinian. in the middle of the sixth century. ficein7 with concern, that the . Persians had se cured, both by land and by sea, the monopoly of this important supply, and that the, wealth of his subjects was continually drained 'by a na tion of enemies and idolaters. tried vat ions ex pedients to remedy the difficulty, but without success. Finally, two Persian monks, actuated by some stronger impulse than that of partiotistn, and encouraged by the promises and persuasions of Justinian, penetrated the silk growing country. and concealing a large number of the eggs of the silk worm in a hollow cane, succeeded in re turning safely and. in triumph with their spoils. tese CLASS weft hatched by artificial heat. and the Nv ortn, being carefully taken care of and rod on mulberry leaves, lived and labored, and wove their golden tombs : and soon the 11.om'ans achieved a greater perfection in the art of edu cating the insects and manufacturing the silk than the Chinese themselves. Since that period the culture and manufac ture of silk has never been exclusively confined to any distinct portion of the earth, but has been encouraged and practised wherever it could be made profitable. The southeritcoun tries of Europe, however—France, Italy and Spain—still retain the supremacy which they acquired in the sixth century and it is from those countries that we now derive our lines silks and most costly and luxurious laces.
