VOLUME X. I~PPIIQIIPIIII.~a. WHITE HANDS And Muddy Coffee. /retry Thornton has been a married man just two months. He was proud of his wife's glossy ringlets, her brilliant eyes, and last of all, her small white hands. Ile never once asked him self if these same hands could iron a shirt, make bread or mend a pair of socks. Not he ; it was enough to knoUr that they could make trills on the piano, work worsted dogs and horses on crickets and ottomans, and paint something styled a landscape. Thornton couldn't tolerate that kind of •absurdity. In his opinion a wo man had much better be asleep, than putting her thoughts upon paper. Ile thanked fortune, too, that she never took to dry disquisitions, tedious essays, or egotistical books. Besides, his Ifelm.didn't care about politics, being a regular Know Nothing' in regard to the item of who stood the best chance for bt;ing• the next President. As to the war in the East, she could not tell positively whether Sebasto pol was up or down ; or whether it was in the hands of the Allies or Russians. Reformation topics she never broached, either. Temper ance was only fit for drunkards' wives to talk about. So it will be perceived that Helen Thornton was not a strong minded female ; a fact upon which her husband felicitated him self not a little. We have said that two months comprised the married life of the latter. It would•be gratify ing to add that his happiness was complete ; that he had nothing to wish for ; but candor compels me to say that he had discovered a little alloy in his gold. To be sure it would pass for pule metal, but close ex:imination closes the fact. In a word his coffee had been exceedingly muddy for more than a_ week, and then he cautiously dropped a hint to the effect that if her personal attention•was given to the matter the evil might be remedied. She rather tartly responded that " coffee making was not her business," moreover shutting herself up in a chamber, in a miff, thus depriving him of her precious company for the rest of the day. A kiss rind a new scarf set the matter right the next morning. Mr. Thornton however, throw ing in gratis an apology for his ill fated sug gestion. He remembered that. all mankind (and we may as well include womankind) sel dom attain to perfection that roses always grow in that immediate vicinity of thorns; and that rainbows and black clouds are often seen together. It is a curious fact, but no Icss true, that love scarcely ever outlives bad bread, smoking tea, allilltee, hard boiled eggs, discolored silver ed table linen. After all the romance and rhapSody laid to his charge, the little gen tleman deals in practicabilities. lie likes bread and butter, and he wants the bread light and the butter sweet. He is a little exacting too insisting that gaiters look better neatly laced than when open and flapping at the sides, with the strings trailing on the ground. He was even once known to take an abrupt leave of a lady on the 'ostensible plea of dissimilarity of disposition ; but the shrewd people suspected the true reason was because she wore dirt? collars. He may be whimsical, flighty, and extravagant sometimes, but he is just as sure to have his air castles and settle down quietly to his three meals a day and a cigar in the evening as a feather is to obey the laws of gra vitation. He writes tender poetry, too ; but generally inspiration seizes him after eating heartily of roast beef—the sly rogue knows that an empty stomach is not favorable to soft sentiment or smooth rhyme. The honeymoon had just expired, or rather the months allotted to that interesting period ; for it has been ascertained that that season can be protracted, by proper means, to an 'indefi nite length of time. The twain were seated at the breakfast table. Mr. Thornton looked du biously at the burned and dried steak on the platter before him, made.a wry face at his cup of coffee, took one mouthful of the clammy, leather toast, and then spoke. My dear Helen.' Well, Mr. Thornton.' - 'Did you ever eat any of mother's bread ?' No—why do you ask ' Because she makes the best biscuit I ever saw.' ' Undoubtedly ! A man's mother is general ly his wife's supdrior in everything. I only wonder ho is persuaded to leave her ! respond ed,Mrs. Thornton dryly. It was the first time she had ever spoken sar castically, and Henry was puzzled. • ' I merely referred to my mother because she sup erintended the bread•making herself. I wish you could be induced to do the same.' The lady lifted her taper fingers. ' Do you really wish me to putty up my bands with pie crust, and bury my arms in dough, Mr. ThorntonV • 1P2i122,1107‘ 34420 1, -ViaItbaizaRKSVUKRZZ 210 1.1K4110211' 6,0 a Pi II 1 4 'l' 1 1 P ill I+' I E DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS PER ANNUM. MIII No, not exact y, my love, but you could overlook Biddy, and teach her to make better stuff than this,' he added, pointing to the toast. That wouldn't soil your hands, would it ?' . I don't know how ; besides, Biddy don't I want me in the kitchen, and I am not particu - larly attracted there.* I don't mean to spend my life doing housework, or fretting about ser- , 1 1 vents. I'm not able to do anything more than wait, upon the table and entertain visitors.' I The bride sighed and leaned aback in her ! chair. But your cousin Mary keeps no help, and still gets time to—' My cousin Mary is very foolish to do so much more than she need do. And then her hands are as brown as a Gypsy's. I never happened to notice them. I only remember that she makes delicate pastry, and plays the piano nearly as well as yourself,' re joined Mr. Thornton soothingly. II wish you wouldn't quote cousin Mary.— I don't like comparisons: She's a drudge and a blue. You said you didn't like blues.' I don't—blondes are my favorites ; and you , arc as pretty a blonde as I ever saw.' She's an advocate of woman's rights, too. How often you've said you wet° glad that I don't interfere with subjects which don't con cern my sex. And now. you are finding fault with my housekeeping.' "flott's the very iflea, my. love ; I'm only regreting your non-interference'in (natters that (10 concern your sex.' Mrs. Thornton defined her position' imme diately. She did not design burying herself in the kitchen, or attaching herself to Biddy.' She had married for a home and maintenance, not to spend her time in rolling pie crust or mould ing bread. Henry Thornton looked surprised, and no wonder, for he felt surprised. That his adora ble Helen could be perverse when it stiited he well knew ; but that she should pot down her feet' so determinedly. set him. to thinking. The young husband did not, wish his wife to perform the duties belonging to the domestic. but he hoped she would take the general super vision of matters ; he was 4 clerk with a mod erate salary, and prudence was indispensable to his situation. The story need not be lengthened. "Waste and improvidence in the kitchen soon brought pecuniary embarrassment, while in the parlor incapacity and ignorance of what constitutes a true woman and real lady, laid the foundation of much discord, which time did not lessen.— The charm of the white hands' had departed. Mere personal beauty without intellectual at tainments, a fund of common sense, and moral worth, cannot prove long attractive. Think of it, ye lienedicts, in search of connubial Elicity.

Allentown, Pa., January 16, 1856. • Does the Moon affect I s ogetatlon Very many practical farmers will be prompt to answer this query in the affirmative. Pliny says that if we would collect grain for the pur pose of immediate sale, we should do so at the full of the moon ; because, during the moon's increase, the grain augments remarkably in magnitude ; but if we would collect the grain to preserve it, we should choose the new moon, or the decline of it. This maxim may find some feeble support _in the fact, 'that, as a general thing, more rain falls during the increase of the mcon than (hiring its decrease, which may ac- I count for the augmentation of the grain in bulk, or size of the kernel ; but it assuredly requires a robust faith to suppose that the moon at the ; distance of 250,000 miles from the earth's sur face, can have any appreci-able effect upon the grain, either in increasing or diminishing its bulk. The same author also prescribes the pe-1 riod of the full moon fur sowing beans, and that of the new moon for sowing lentils. There is also an approximation to something like an established principle observable in the practice of the Agrinomes of South America in their treatment of the two classes of plants dis tinguished by the production of fruit on their roots, or on their branches, but we are unable to indicate anything of the kind in the European Aphorisms. Yet it is the opinion or belief of all European gardeners that if trees or vegetables are expected to flourish with vigor, and attain their highest degree of excellence, they must be planted, grafted and pruned during the increase f the moon. But this opinion, like most others relating to supposed lunar influence, is wholly fallacious. The numerous experiments recently instituted for the purpose of demonstrating the. erroneonsnes of this belief, have proved most irrefeapiltly that the inert ase or decrease of,this satellite has, and necessarily can have, no ap pre,2iable efffet upon the phenomena of vegetable life or development. Many of the maxims re• biting to supposed lunar influence, are substan tiated by no supporting arguments or physical reasons; they exist in the form of simple preju dices, vet are acted upon by those who indulge them, with the same unwavering faith and Con fiden7c in their variety, as though they were' susceptible of the cleat'est and most positive! proof. There is scarcely a single detail em• braced in the wide routine of agricultural enter• prise and court, into which this superstitious' presumption of lunar power does not more or I less extensively intertwine itself. In some res- I pects; it is pettedly harmless; in others, its effects are more momentous, and positively detrimental to the pecuniary interests.and well being of those by whom it is indulged.—Gcr aural awn Taw, a ph. flue Earth we Wall; On. It may surprise some readers to learn that all the earths clay, flint, chalk, &c., are nothing more than the rust of metals : that at one time during the age of this world they were all shining, brilliant metals. Geologists speak of the earth as being hundreds of thousand years old: their philosophy is based upon mechanical scienceLlite — formalion of strata, the upheaving of mountains, the butiiiik-Olfgr ests, have been attributed to some " great con vulsion"—that is, to some shaking together of the crust. Whether this great aga of the world be true or not, it is very certain that before any of these events could have taken place, the formation of each of the earths must have been the work of ages ; otherwise the metals of which their base consists could not have been so completely rust ed as to assume an earthly texture. To under stand this, we must leave the mechanical, that is, the geological theory. It cannot be disputed that the first- changes of the earth's surface were of a chemical nature. Combinations took place then as now ; the metallic bases, by mere contact with atmosphere or water, passed into oxyds as the chemist calls them, or earth, as expressed in daily conversation. Chemists thus recognize something like forty different kinds of oxyds or earthly bodies, some being very scarce, and others as plentiful. By the merest touch . of air, some of the metallic bases of these earths instantly pass into the rusty or earthy state ; some, by contact with water, arc so en ergetic that they burst into flames. By this process of reasoning we come to the conclusion that the earth is one mass or globe of mixed metals, of which the crust has become rusted, or of earthly form ; the outer rind, as if preventing any rapid combination taking place with the metallic surface, five or six miles below the face of the dry land. Eruptions from vol canoes are probably produced by the sea getting down to the metallic surface, through some fis sure in the earth's crust ; decomposition of the water then takes place—fire, flames and steam causing an eruption. It would be an instruc• Live lesson to man to quarry into the earth's crust to tho depth of ten or twelve miles.—Sci enfyic American. fl Those who blow the coals of another's strife may chance to have the sparks fly in their own faces. • SPITTING. Will the time ever come when the spittoon, that disgusting reminder that people spit, will be removed from our parlors, steamers and cars ? Those who chew tobacco feel a delicacy in having this one of the lower vices made ap parent by the use of la case dc: War, as few others rarely avail themselves of this conveni ence. The habit of spitting is probably one reason why the Americans are so meager in person.— They spit themselves . to death, and then talk wonderingly about our climate—swell the num -1 hers of those who die of consumption, and look like scare crows during the period of their natu ral life. Women and girls rarely spit—from an instinctive sense of its indelicacy, but men look solemn, talk grave, and spit. They finish a sentence in conversation by a spit, just as we dose a paragraph in oilc editorial with a period : Boys, as soon as they are installed into a broad collar, spit. They practice in order to do this well—shooting forward the body, and the under lip, till they become masters of the art, and able to hit a spittoon at the greatest possible distance. If spitting must be done, the pocket-hand kerchief is the only legitimate medium, and this can be used in a manner as little obvious to the spectator ns possible. Those who have this habit inveterately established should carry an extra handkerchief, that the one " wisely kept for show" may be as little objectionable as possible. Seriously, our secretions if healthful are never offensive, and never in undue quantities. —the habit of casting the saliva from the month causes an extra secretion which must in its turn lie ejected, and thus nature is severely taxed to supply the waste, the gums shrink.—the teeth fail, the throat is parched—bronchitis, first, and, finally consumption, or some other decay of a weak organ, comes in to close the scene. An A fat, Mould run a man through wlto should presume to spit in his presence. The bird never spits—the toad squats to the earih. and the serpent secretes saliva as a deadly poi: son. If we weep passionately the saliva is _bitter—it is pungent and scanty in the action of the baser emotions, while love renders it sweet and abundant. The saliva is associated with our whole animal economy, and follows closely upon the action of our minds, sympathetfcally, intimately with all its moods. Sensitiveness inclines us to swallow down our saliva, while disgust disposes us to spit it wit. The sent of roses moistens the lips more titan the tongue, lemons cause the mouth to be filled with saliva. The sight of one hateful to us dries the mouth, while on the contrary one who is agreeable moistens it. Hence, thos.! who weep much have dry lips, while those ivho suffer without tears, have not only dry lips, but an acrid mouth. Here is a beautiful pilosophy in all this, and those who waste the secretions by spitting, lose not only the action of these glands, but unquestionably weaken the fine sensibilities associated with them. Show us the man who spits and you show us a titan of uncertain characteristics, and one whose sensi bilities aro not to be trusted. Do away with u • ions, and nature will do her work more genially o lan,—she will beautify him, whereas now slii:TiNthljged to be continually patching him up.—Mrs. akes Smith. Tho Farmer..

The Brooklyn Eagle thinks in rhyme, that shawls should be worn for the following rea sons : " If you want to be in fashion, wear a shawl : if to ladies an attraction, wear a shawl : if to sheep and cows a terror, or like shanghais in full feather, or even rags upon the heather wear a shawl ; if your hips are bad!y moulded, or your shirt and vest unfolded, are unpleasant to behold, wear a shawl ; if you're courting some gay linnet, wear a shawl—you might wrap your lassie in it—in your shawl. It's like charity on pins, and hides a multitude of sins —although it causes grins, does your shawl. von wish to be a dandy, wear a shawl—or have a cover handy, wear a shawl. Inn word, it is a most useful article-as you may wrap your feet, head, body, knees, make a seat, a blanket, a bed, a muff, a pillow, a wrap•raseal, or Scotch plaid of your shawl ISE Call It is an'easy thing to be civil, and althoneh in the language of the proverb, " fine words butter no parsnirs'r they frequently, nay, almost invariably, have a kindly effect, and in fluence the mind as well as the heart. Never theless, there are certain persons who go through the world, as if determined never to utter a civil phrase, never to do a civil turn. They are naturally rough, peevish, and dis satisfied, and even when appealed to in matters of business, they will 'indulge in such a spirit and assume such an air, as to make the inter course cold, formal, and repulsive.

The shoe is placed firmly upon a common jack, Which stands in the socket of a unicetsal joint, very ingeniously constructed. so as to give the pegs the 'requisite slant en tirely round the shoe. The jack is brought parallel with the awl and hammer, and, by ,he assistance of a space-Wheel, connected with the awl, the boot is made to revolve once around pegging two rows at the same time, or but one row, as may be desired, and will do the work on one boot or shoe in thirty seconds. A knife splits the pegs and places them in a wheel which carries them under the hammer. The awl perforates the leather foi• a peg, and is then carried back, , and the hammer brought alter- nately into the same place to drive the peg.— Portjblio. . APPLE.

We have been furnished with some particu lars about the enormous iron steamship now in course of construction on the Thames. Her whole length is 684 feet ; breadth of haw 8& feet ; diameter of paddle wheels 121 feet ; depth of hold 70 feet ; depth of paddle wheel 58 feet ; diameter of screw 41 feet. There will be 5 fun nels and 7 mast—two of the latter being square. rigged. The nominal horse-power will be 2600, but it will work up to from 6000 to 10,000. Her measurement will be 23,640 tons. It is ex pected that her crew will number from 750 to SOO men, including 12 officers. She will hive accommodations for 20,000 persons, including 4000 first class passengers ; or, if used as a transport, she can carry 15,000 troops and 5000 horses. She is expected to run at the rate of 16 miles an hour. Forty Acres or Bibles. The Bible Society circulated last year 800,- 000 Bibles and Testaments. It is estimated that these books, if they were spread out ou a plane surface and computed by square mea sure, would cover more Man four acres ; and if computed by long measure, they would extend more than eighty miles ; if by solid or cubio measure, they would measure more than one hundred solid and fifty cords, and these cords, riled .one upon another, would reach higher than the spire of Trinity Church, New York, or the Falls of Niagara. The entire issues for thirty-seven years of the.
