"Timothy, that air yaller hen's settin' agin," said Mrs. Hayes to her son, one morning at breakfast, "Well, let her set," remarked Timothy, helping himself to a large piece of cheese, "1 reckon I can stand it as long as she can." "I do wish you would try to be a little equinomical to cheese, Timothy ; I've cut the very last cf my every day lot, and it's only the fir-t of May. And now as soon as you've done eating I want you to go out and break up that hen. She's setting on an old ax and two bricks now." "I hope she'll hatch Vm," returned Tim othy. "If she was set now, she'd hatch the fourth week in May. It's a had sign ; something allers happens arter it. Stop giggling. Helen Maria, by the time you get to he as old as your ina, ye'U see fur ther than you do now There - was Jenkins* folk-. tlie.r grev top knot hatched the first ol May, and Mrs, Jenkins, she had the conjuction of the lungs, and would have du d if they had not killed a lamb and wrap ped her in tie hide while it's warm. That was all that savi d her lif . With such a stai tling.proof of the truth and the omen before lum, Timothy finished his breakfast in lasie and departed for the barn, tnm which he soon returned bearing the squalli; g bidd\ by the legs. "What shall Ido with In r. mother! She'll git on again, and she's cross as bed lain—she skinned my hands, and would he the death of me if she could only get loose." "I've h-er'n it said that it was a good plan to throw them up in the air," said Mis. Hayes. "Aunt Pi ggy broke one of setting only three times trying. Spose'n \ou try it." "Up she goes, head rr tailcried Tim othy, as he tossed the v, .Icano skyward. "Laud-o-nias-y,"exclaimed Mis. lla\es, "she's coming down on the pan of bn ad that I set out on the great rock to rise ! Tim, it's strange that you can't do nothing without overdoing it," "Down with the tiaitors, up with the s tars," a"g out Tim, elevating biddy again with something less than a pint of batter hanging to h-r feet. "Good gra-i-us me. wuss and wuss," cried Mrs. Haves, and Tim agreed with her, for the hen had come, down on th wcll pol shed tile of Esquire Bennett, who happened to be passing, atul the dignified -Id gentleman was the father of Cvnthia B nnett. the voting lady with whom Tiin was seriously enan on red. The Squire looked dagger-, brushed off the dough with hi* handkerchief, and strode on in silence. •'Yes. hut it's going up again," said Tim. spitefully seizing the clucking biddy a r d tosing her at random into the a'r. Biddy thought it time to manifest her individual ity, and with aloud ser-am she. daited again-t the parlor window, broke through, knock'd town the canary rage, and landed pbimp ir the silken lap of Mrs. Gray, vvho was hoarding at the firm house. Mrs. Grav screamed with horror, and starting up, dislodged biddy, who flew at her reflection in the looking glass with an angrv lii-s. The glass was shattered and down came the hen, astonish-d beyond measure, against a vase of flowers, which upset, and in falling knocked over the s'and-dish and deluged with wa'er a pair of drab cdored velvet slippers which Hel en Maria was embroidering for ber lover, Mr. James Ifenshaw. IMen entered the room just as the mis chief lad been done, and viewing the ru in. she at one - laid it to her brother-Tim othy. She heard his step b-hind her, and the unfortunate hn she flung full in his face. There was a smothered oaD, and the lien came back with the force of a twenty pound shot. k Ilel-n was mad. Her eves were neariy put out with the feathery dust and dough, and she went at Timothy with a true femi nine zeal. She broke his watchgnarl in a dozen pieces, crushed hie dicky, and began to pull his whiskers out by the roots, when suddenly she remembered that Timothy had no whiskers to pull out by the roots. But when she came to look closer, she perceived the man she had nearly annihi lated was not Timothy, but James Ilen shaw. Poor Ili-le.i hur-t into ears and fled in to her chamber, the usual n fnge for hero ine* ; and James, after washing his face at the kiichen sink, went lioine.sternly resolv ed never to marrv a woman with 6iich a temperas Helen Haves bad. The Imn. meanwhile, who is the heroine, returned to the barn to establish beiself on the ruin of her nest, determined to set if the heavens fell. Mrs. Haves soon discovered her. and she having heard that dipping in water would cure "bloodiness." she set forth for the brook with the fowl in her apron. Mrs. Weaver, an old ladv of verv quar elsomc temperament, who resided near, and was at sword's point* with Mrs. Haves, was just coming to the hrook for a pail ot water, and spied the yellow bead of the bird peeping out from Mrs. Hayes' apron. "There!" she exclaimed, "Now I've fonnd out what nuzzled me to death nigh a week. I've found out where that yellow pullet has gone to.

TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCT. 31, 1866 woman, but I did'nt think you'd steal." "Steal !me steal! Who are you talk ing to, Mrs, Weaver ?" said Mrs. Hayes on her dignity. 4 I'm talking to you, madam, that's who I'm talking to. You've stolen my hen what I got of Uncle Gillies, and paid for in sasst ngrrs. She's a real Dorking. Give her to me right away or I will use force." "She's my hen, and you touch her if you dare !" 44 1'1l show you what I dare J" yelled Mrs. Weaver, growing purple, and seiz ng the ill-starred fowl by the tail, she gave a wrench and the tail came out in her hand. The su lden cessation of resistence up set Mrs \v eaver's balance, and she fell backward into the brook, spattering the mud and astonished polliwogs in every di rection. She was a spry woman and wa9 soon on her feet again ready to renew the as sault. 4 *Give me my hen," she cried, thrusting her fist into Mrs. Haves' face, "you old hag and hypocrite yu !' and she made a second dive at the bird. The lien thought it proper to show her colors, and uttering an unearthly yell, she fi-w out of the covert square into the face of Mrs. Weaver which she raked down with her nails until it resembled the page of a ledger, crossed and reerossed with red ink. Mrs. Hayes caught a stick of brushwood from the fence Mrs. Weaver did the same, and a regular duel would probably have been fought if the bank of the creek had not suddenly gave way and precipitated !>oth the beligeraut women into the water. They scrambl-d out on opposite sides, and the hen sat perched in an apple tree and cackled in triumph. The ladies shook ih< mselves, ard by con sei t went home. They have not spoken since. The hen disappeared and was not seen until three wet ks afterwards, when she made her appearance With eleven nice yel low chickens. She found some othei fowl's nest and had set in spite of fate. But although not "broken up" herself she broke up two matches—for Cynthia Bennett was not at home the next time Timothy called, and Mr. Heoshaw never forgave Helen for having such a t< mper. OLD THINGS. Give me old songs, those pxquisite bursts of melody whieh thrilled the lyres of the inspired poets and minstrels of long ago. Every note has borne on the air a laic of joy and lap'tire, of sorrow and s;d ness. They tell of days gone by, and time lias given lliein a voice that speaks to us of those who breathed those melodies; mav they be mine to bear till life shall i nd ; as "1 launch my boat" upon the seas o r eternity, may theii echoes be wafted on my ear, to cheer .uc on my passage from earth to fatherland ! Give me the old paths where we have wandered anil culled the flower of friend ship in the days of "Auid Lar.g Syne."— Sweeter far the dells whose echoes have answered to our voices, whose turf is noi a stranger to our footsteps, ami whose rills have in childhood's daps reflected back our forms, and those of our n*erry playfellow* from whom we have pai ted and meet no more in the old nooks we loved so well.— May the old paths be watered with Heaven's own dew, and be green forever in my memory! Give me the old house upon whose *tairs we seem to hear light footsteps, and under whose {Kirch a merry laugh seems to mi..gle with the winds that whistle through ihe old elms, beneath whose branches lie the graves of those who once trod the halls and made the chambers ring with glee. And oh, above all, give me oid friends, hearts bound to mine in life's 9unshitiy hours, and a link so strong that all the storms of earth might not break it asunder; spirits congenial, whbse hearts thro' life have beat in unison with my own. Ob, when death sha.l still tliis heart, I won d not ask for aught more sacred to hallow my dust than the tear of an old friend. Genius alwavs finds its material ly ing r-ady to its hand ; it ntver seeks it. — It does not ask. "Shall I be a hero, or an artist ?" but it grasps the 6word or the pencil, and has, without premeditation, conquered the world or enchanted it. But genius has, at times, displayed a variety of talents, employed different materials, spo ken in several languages. Da Vinci was a painter, an archit-ct, and a poet; Peter the Great raised a kingdom from depres sion, and built ships; Julius Ciesar was the first of ihe Emperors, and is still, aft er the lapse of 2.000 years, the writer for youth. This is what dazzles and deceives people; they think that genius consists in many-sidi-duess, and forget that we may cultivate many abilities, acquire much expertncss, but can never make for our selves a genius; genius is the gift of nature. The good God has it in its own keeping, and freely bestows it on his favored chil dren ; bin like all iinpoitant gifts, it impo ses heavy obligations on the receiver, though, at the same time, it blesses him.

THE BLIND PRINCESS The blind young Princess of— —was presented to the Empress Eugenie at Schwalback a few days ago, and the utmost interest and sympathy weie excited by her stoty. The lady is well known all over Germany; her pr.ncely domain is visited everv year by crowds of strangers. The beautiful portrait by Cornelius, in one of the salons, is examined with much interest, and every one departs little dreaming that die large and soft blue eyes, seeming to look from the picture so full of sweetness and benevolence, have in life no power to return the glances of sympathy and kind ness directed toward them. The story of the Princess is perhaps the most touching romance of the nineteenth century. As a child had been stolen from the gardens of the very chaieau she now inhabits. A careless nurse, bent on her own enjoyment, had suffered her mas ter's child to stray toward the river, ..ud when, in answer to the frantic appeals and the search made in every direction, no signs of the infant's presence c>uld be dis covered, it was concluded that she had fall en into the river and got drowned. The despair of the mother was beyond all de scription ; but the idea of the child's death, accepted by all I resides, was rejected entire lv by her. The river Lad been dragged, no trace bad been found, and so, after a few years' time, when the death of the prince, her husband, had released her from the obligation to remain in the chateau,:he gave up the domain into the Lands of her brother-in-law, and set out upon a strange pilgrimage all over the continent, fully convinced thot she would find, one day or other, the ol ject of her search. The sura* of money spent in the pursuit, the tirae.the toil, the anxiety absorbed upon every high road, need not be-descrincd. During tho embassy of Prinee Talleyrand she came to London, and was received by Queen Ad elaide, with the utmost kindness and sym pathy. Soon afterward she weDt once more to the south, still behton finding her lost child One day, the carriage climbing slowly up the steep hills in the neighborhood of Lau sanna, she was accosted by a beggar wo man holding by the hand a poor blind girl for whom she was imploring alms. The girl looked gentle and sweet-tempered, re sembling in no way ihe harsh vixen whom she called mother. The inmate of the car riage had fallen into a doze, and the woman bade the girl sing to arouse the lady. Ihe song was a vulgar ditty belonging to the district, with no romance to insure atten tion, and yet it wnke the lady from her trance; something in the voice reminded her of a sister lost many years before and she stopped the postillion while she ques tioned the girl as to her origin. The day and hour were come at last; ever) word uttercdjby the maiden confirmed the suspi cion of identity. Memory was confused—it had vanished with her sight—but by dint of threats and promises the woman was made to confess that she had purchased the girl when quite an infant from a beggar woman like her s'lf, who owned to having deprived her of j her sight in or-ler to excite compassion.— , The Licality whence the child had been ta ken was proof sufficient of the truth. The Princess returned home with her poor blind companion, and devoted her whole life to ihe prospect of cure,as she had done before to that of discovery. But all at tempts failed, and the mother then gave herself up entirely to the education of her helpless charge. In this she succeeded perfectly, and the Princess is considered one of the most accomplished reciters of Uhlandand in all Germany, Be fore dying her mother reaped her reward in the marriage of her daughter with the yonng Prince, her nefJhew, and this conso lation is the greatest which could be felt by her friends. The young Princess recited with the most exquisite clearness and pathos two scenes from "Count Egmont and "The Di ver," on the visit to the Empress, while the imp-rial lady listened entranced, and the large tears rolled down her cheeks as she gazed on the wreck which the wickedness und cupidity of man had made of ene of the most beautiful work of Gods own creation. —Loudon Paper.

Instantly, with an air of confidence as well as triumph, the answer came—"Civil ized, half civilized, and savage V A lady who had just been three days, perceiving her husband enter, stole secretly behind him and gave him a kiss.

The pass over Mount Ccnis, joining the festile fields of Sardinia and Savoy, has al wavs been the favorite of alpine passes.— Although the military route for ages, the load was in a deplorable condition till, by the enterprise of Napolean, a substantial carriage way was constructed at an expense to the government of seven million francs. For a number of years past this road, in connection wirh the French and Italian railroads and the Adriatic steamers, has formed the most direct and expeditious mail rouote to India and the East. The slow and tedious mountain passage, origi nated the project of completing the miss ing link of railway communication by tun neling the Alp*. Whether this gigantic undertaking will ever be completed, admits of doubt. In the meantime, a companv has been started with the design of accomplishing this same object by constructing a railroad over the summit of (he mountain. Mr. Fel\ and English engineer, read an interesting paper on the subject before the British Association, and his statements leave no doubt as to the feasibility of the plan. Both the French and Italian gov ernments favor the enterprise; op-rations have already begun, and in all probability the road will be completed by March n-xt. From the d fficulties to be overcome, the work must fairly be rank-d as one of Ihe greatest in the records of engine-ring. The variations of cl mate during the year—always an important consideration in allowing for adhesion, or bite of the dri ving wheels on the rail—constitute hce an important element, and noc-sitates the employment of a third or center rai 1 . Bv this m-ans not only is the proper amount of adhesion produced, but the additional advantage is obtained of furnishing means for applying an increased amount of brake power, and also preventing all possibility of either car leaving the track. The engines and carriages have each, in addition to the usual vertical wheels, four horizontal wheels, having flanges nn derlapping the center tail, connected with brtk- so as to grip the rails; these, in con nection with the usual sets, give a brake pressure of 60 tons in an engine meighing 16 to 17 tons. This principle of obtaining the adhesion required, in order to develop tractive force on railways, is equally applicable to an even much steeper gradient, than any found on the Mount Cenis mad. and that consistently with the economical expense of mechanical power. LOST. —In regard to colors we arc far behind the ancient 9. None of the c-lors in the Egyptian paintings of thousands of years ago are not in the least faded, ex cept the green. The Tynan purple of the entoomed city of Pompeii is as fresh to day as it was those thousand years ago.— Some of the stucco, painted ages he'ore the Christian era, broken up and mixed, re verted to its original luetre. And yet we pity the ignorance of the dark skinned children of the ancient Egypt. The col ors upon the walls of Nero's f-stal vault are as fresh as if painted yesterday. So is the check -f tha Egyptian prince who was ccnten pr neous > ith Solomon, and Cleopatra, at whose feet Caesar laid the riches of his empire. And in r-gard to metals. The edges of the statues of the obelisks of Egypt, and of the ancient walls of Rome, are as sharp as it hewn but yesterday. And the stones still remain so closely fitted that their seams, laid with mortar, cannot be pene trated with the edge of a penknife. And iheir surface is exceedingly hard, so hard that when ihe French artists engraved two lines upon the obelisk brought from Egypt, th y destroyed, in the tedious task, many of the best tools which can be man ufactured. And yet these ancient monu ment; arc traced all over with inscriptions pla-ed upon them in olden times. Thi, with other facts of a striking chanicfer, prove that they were far more skilled in metnls than we are. Quite recently it is recorded that when an American vessel was on the shores of Africa a son of that benighted region made from an iron hoop, a knife superior to any on board of the vessel, and another made a sword of Da masens excellence from a piece of iron. Fiction is very old ; Scott had bis coun terpart two thousand years ago. A story is tol lof a warrior who had no time to wait for the proper forging of his weapon, but seized it red hot, rode fowar J , hut found to hi* surprise that the cool air had tempered his iron into an excellent steel weapon. The tempering of 6ttel therefore which was new to us a century since, was old two thousand years ago. Ventilation is deemed a modern art. — But this is not the. fact, for aperture, un - questionably made for the pin pose of ventillation, are found in the pyramid torabs of Egypt, Yet thousands of years ago the barbarous Pagans went so far as to ventilate their tombs, while we yet scarcely know how to ventilate our houses. Get married, young womaa! never pause because your suitor is not handsome. If he io good that is much better. Few hand some men are good for much, except to break wive'* luarts with jealousy, and fail in business, because too much tempted to atteed to it arduously. At a printer's festival lately, the follow ing toast was given: a VV oman—-second on ly to the press in the dissemination of newsl" tBRMO, sa.oo ran a-kticum About seventeen years ago, there vm t fair girl, so pure, so lovely, so refint-d, thaa she rises to my mind, as almost akin to an gels. She was wooed and ultimately won by a handsome man of considerable wealth He sported a fine team, delighted in hunt ing.and kept a pack of hounds. He neither played caids, drank wine, or used tobacco. He had no occupation, no calling, no trade. He lived on his money, the interest of which would have supported a man hand somely. I never saw the fair bride till a few days ago. Seventeen years had pasa ed away, and then herb auty and he* youth her husband's fortune and bis life, during the latter part of which they lived in a log cabin on the banks of the Ohio, near Blen nershassett's Island —a whole family in one single room, subsisting on water, fat bacon and corn bread. The husband had no business capacity. He was a gentleman of education, of refinement, of noble impulses; but when his money was gone he could got no employment, simply because he did not know how to do anything. For awhile he floundered about—first t'ying one tl i>g then another, failure was written on them all. He, however, finally obtained a situation* the labor was great, the corap-msitioo wa small—it was tbat or starvation ; in his he roic efforts to discharge his duties bly, he overworked himself and died leav ing his widow and six girls in utter destitu tion, In seventeen years the sw eet, joyous and beautiful girl had become a broken hearted, careworn, poverty-stricken widow, with a house full of children. Young woman ! if a rich young man asks you to marry him, and has no trade or calling by which he could make a living if he were thrown upon his own resources, you may give him your respects, but give him the mitten.— Dr. Hull. "Meadow's History of the Chinese,'* lately publ:shed in London, in a chapter on love, has the following: A Chinese, who had been disappointed in marriage, and had grievously suffered through women in various other ways, re tired with his infant son to the peaks of a mountain range in Kweschoo, a spot quite inaccessable to little footed Chinese wo men. He trained the l>oy to worship the Gods, an t stand in awe and abhorrence of the devils; but he never mentioned women to him, always lescendmg the mountain alone to buy the food. At length, howev er, the infirmities of age compelled him to take the you'.graan with him to carry the heavy bag of rjce. As they were leaving the market town together the son suddenly stopped short, and, pointing to three ap proaching objects, cried— "Father, what are those things? Look I look! what are they ?" "Thefather answered with the peremp tory order— 44 Turn away your head: they are dev ils!" The son, in some alarm, turned away,* noticing that the evil tilings were gating at him from behind their fans. He walked to the mountain in silence, ate no supper, and from that day lost his appetite and was af flicted with melancholy. For some time his puzzled and anxious parent could get no satisfactory answer to his inquiri -s, but at length the young man burst out crying with inexplicable pain— " Oh, father, that tallest devil! that tall est devil." EXPANDING THE LUNGS.— Step out in to the purest air you can find ; stand per fectly erect with the head and sh*'ulders back, and then fixing the lips as though you were going to whistle, draw the air, not through the nostils, but through the lips into the lungs. When the chest it about full, raise the arms, keep them ex tended, the palins of the hands down, as vou suck in the air, so as to bring them over the head jut as the lungs arc quite full. Then drop the thumbs inward, and after gently forcing the arms backwards, and the chest open, reverse the process bv which yon draw your br.-ath till the lungs are entirely em- ty. This processs should 1 be repeated three or fonr times a day. It is impossible to describe to one who baa never tried it the glorious sense ot vigor which follows this pxercise. It is the best expectorant in the world.
