If neglected, the rust of the summer may injure them more than the whole winter's wear, particular ly the parts made of sheet iron. They should be kept as free from dampness as possible, and occasionally cleaned if rust be observed. Our plan has been to ap ply a coating of linseed oil to the pipes before putting them away. It should be done while the pipes are warm, but should be done thoroughly. It is not particular that it should be linseed oil-- this being mentioned as the cheapest— almost any grease will answer. received. The desperate struggles and flounder ings by which soma •endeavor to get out of their embarrassment are amusing enough. We remember to have been much delighted the first time we heard the history of the wooing of a noble lord, now, no more, narrated. His lord ehip was a man of talents and of enter prise, of stainless pedigree, and a fair rent-roll, but the veriest slave of bash fulness. Like'all timid and quiet, men, he was very sneceptable and very con stant, as long as he was in the habit of seeing the object of his affections daily. He chanced, at the beginning of an Edinburgh winter, to lose his heart to Miss = ; and as their families were in habits of intimacy, he had frequent op portunities of meeting with her. He gazed and sighed incessantly—a very Dumbiedikes, but that he had a larger allowance of brain; he followed every where; he felt jealous, uncomfortable, savage, if she looked even civilly at an other; and yet, notwithstanding his stoutest resolutions notwithstanding the encouragement afforded him by the lady, a woman of sense, who saw what his lordship would be at, esteemed his character, was superior to girlish affec tation, and made every advance consist ent with womanly delicacy—the winter was fast fading into spring, and he had not yet got his mouth opened. Mamma at last lost all patience.; and one day, when his lordship was taking his usual lounge in the drawing-room, silent;' or uttering an occasional monosyllable, the good lady abruptly left the room, and locked the pair in alone. When his lordship, on assaying to take his leave, discovered the predicament in which be stood, a despidate fit of resolutton seized him.

THE LOST KITE. wed .•• AMM . 1••• oEP the Questi.on. , ram There is no more &Hate step in life than the operation designated by the elegant phrase I have selected for , the title of my present lucubration. Much .winding and caution, and previous sound ing is necessary 'Oen you have go tt favor to ask of a great men. It is ten chances to one that he takes it into his head to consider your request exorbi tant, and to make this. the pretext for shaking off what he naturally considers a cumbersome appendage to his etate— a man who has a claim upon his good offices. Bat this hazard is nothing in comparison with the risk you run in laying yourself at the mercy of a young gipsy, fonder of fun and frolic than any thing in life. Even though she love you with the whole of her little heart, she possesses allow of spirits, and woman's ready knack of preserving appearances ; and though her bosom may heave re sponsive to your stammering tale, she will lure you on with kind complacent looks, until you have told "your pitiful story," and then laugh in your face for your pains. It is not' this either that I meant to express. Men are not cowards, because they see distinctly the danger that lies before them. When a person has cool ness sufficient to appreciate its full ex tent, he bas in general either self-pos session enough to back out of the scrape, or, if it is inevitable, to march with due resignation to meet his fate. In like manner, it is not that poor Pillgarlick, the lover, has a clear notion (persons in his condition are rarely troubled with clear notions) of what awaits him, but he feels a kind of choking about the neck of his heart, a hang-dog inclination to go backwards instead of forwards, a Check, a suddeirtitop in his functions.— He knows not how to look, or what to say. His fine plan, arranged with, so much happy enthusiasm, when sitting ' alone in his arm-chair, after a good din ner, and two or three glasses of wine, in the uncertain glimmering of twilight, with hie feet upon the fender, proves quite impracticable. Either it has es caped his memory altogether, or the conversation perversely takes a turn to tally different from that by which be hoped to lead the fair one from different topics' to thoughts of a tenderer com plexion, and thus, -by fine degrees, (he watching all the time how she was af -fected, in order to be sure of, his strength, before he makes the plunge,) to insinuate his confession, just at the moment that he knows that it will be fittraturt, Agrituiturt, PIM of teaLt, foral r. her—"Mise —, will yon marry me ?" "With the greatest pleasure, my lord," was the answer, given in a low, some what timid, buttmfaltering ,voice, while a deeper crimson suffused the face of the speaker. And a right. good wife she -1?1%Ist Some gentlemen, equally nervous, and unaided, by such a discriminating and ingenious mamma, have recourse to the plan of wooing by proxy. This is a system which I can by no means recom mend. It a male agent be employed, there is great danger, that, befor'e he is aware, he begins to plead for himself:— Talking of love, even in the abstract, with a woman, is a ticklish matter.— Emotions-are awakened, which we tho't were lulled to sleep for ever, and we grow desirous to appropriate to our selves the pretty sentiments which she so well expresses. A female go-between is less dangerous; bat I cannot con ceive with what face a man can ever address a woman as his wife whom he bad not conrage to woo for himself. Day, the philosopher, had a freak of educating a wife for himself. He got two orphan girls intrusted to his care, on entering into recognizance to edu cate and provide for them. One proved too mulish to make anything of. The other grew up everything he could have wished. And yet he gave up the idea of marrying her, because she one day purchased a handkerchief more gaudy than accorded with his philosophical notions. Of course, it never came to a declaration. I wish it had, that one might have seen with what degree of grace a man could divest himself of the grave and commanding characters of papa and pedagogue, to assume the sup ple, insinuating deportinent of the lover. There axe a set of men, whose success In wooing, and it is unfailing, I cannot comprehend. Grave, emaciated, Billow divines, who never look the person in the face whom they address—who never speak above their breath L---who sit on the uttermost end of the chairs, a full yard distance from the dinner-table. I have never known one of these scare crows fail in getting a rich wife. How it is, heaven knows I Can it be that the ladies ask them ? One thing is certain, that I myself have never been able to . "pop the qUes tion. Like the inspired writer, among the things beyond the. reach of my intel lect, is "the way of a man with a maid." By what witchery he should be ever able to induce her, "her free unhonsed condition!' to "bring into circumscrip tion and confine," is to me a mystery.— Had it been otherwise, I should not have been at this time the lonely inmate of a dull house—one who can scarcely claim kindred with any human beiug— in short, AN OLD BACHELOR. THE PICKPOCKET'S TRAP.—THe Lom bardi of Milan says : "A young man, with his arm caught in an iron trap, has just been led through the streets of this city to prison. A person named Varisco had invented a gin to catch pickpockets, which may be easily placed in a coatpocket, and is so constructed as to hold the hand of the thief as if in a vice. M. Varisco being in a locality which those light-fingered gentry are thought to frequent, and remarking near him an individual of a rather suspicious exter:or, took.frorri one of his pockets a handsome silver snuff boi, at the same time assuming a simple air. Then leis urely taking a pinch from it, he placed it into a pocket provided with the trap. Presently the stranger approached M. Varisco, slipped his hand into the pock et, seized hold of the bait, and in anoth er second showed by his cries that he was securely caught." Wgr ANNEODOTR OF LOUIS XIV.— The death of the queen affected him in the severest degree. "Good God !" said he, when his attendant forced him away from her lifeless body, "is it possible that the queen is dead—and that I must forever lose her, who never gave me pain but when she died ?" It is not easy to pronounce a funeral oration in fewer words, or give a stronger evidence of a happy married life. or the Richmond Examiner says that "Gen. Butler deserves a rope's end." So do a good many of the rebel leaders. The only question is, whether the rope's end should , be hit& over their backs Or twisted around their necks. - sir "Hallos there!" said farmer to , an Irishman busily dnssged atone of his cherry trees, "by 04 do you take those -olierrieSTA Maithl.tmy friend," said heebyJnylighti#l4l4l*.l4l7t Borrowing Trouble. Borrowing, though often convenient and sometimes , pecessary,, fcequently load those concerned into difficulty, but in nothing is this so universally the case as in "borrowing trouble," for which we always have to pay a heavy per cent, of care and anxiety. Of what possible benefit to us can it be to ignore the blessings and enjoy ment of the present in order that we may brood over our own or others' fore bodings of futuie ill ? Why should we close our eyes to the sunshine of to-day, while we deplore the storm wlich may or may not come on the morrow? Are we not commanded to "take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow, shall 'take thought for the things of itself?' and assured that "Sutricent unto the day is the evil thereof 2" This may be a trite theme, but the evil we deprecate is so wide-spread, that we shall be pardoned for ,raising our feeble voice once and again in remon strance. We have no charity for this spirit of doubt and distrust—this con tinual croaking of those who seem to live by borrowing trouble. Why should they forever see in the blooming cheek only the precursor of disease and death ? Why is every bright day pronounced the forerunner of a storm, and every joy: ous heart warned that the time of sorrow and darkness is nigh ? - Granted that there. is truth in ell these assertions, why need they be continually. fored upon our remembrance ? Is it showing a proper degree of gratitude to an allwise and beneficient Father, to take His gifts with a careless hand, and instead of thanking Him for the presebt good, turn with anxious heart to the possibility of coming evil ? We, know that lifehas heavy;burdens for us all to bear; bat is not every yoke fitted tit - the neck that mast wear it, and would . any of us, after sober deliberation, exchange our own lot for that of another? Shall we not accept sorrow with the ioy, as part of our needed discipline, and not as a dreaded calamity whieh overtajr.es those whose path hitherto has been smooth and flowery? There must be some bitterness infused into the cup of life, else it would not• prove a health-giving toni6, but merely an effervescing draught. Let us con. eider our trials in this, light„ and thank God for the drops of ssgreetness..that pervade the whOlolinixture, instead of tasting only the dregs and lamenting their nauseousness. Preaching is easier than practice, and no hand can be so guiltless of the sin we deplore, as to cast the first stone; but.we can all, at least, strive against the tendency to cherish anxious forebodings; which is ploughing so many furrowB on brows that ought to be fair and smooth; and rendering many a °ht . ° free, light heart heavy and care worn. A reform is surely needed here—who will join the crusade, against those enemies of human ity, Doubt and Anxiety? And whatever other debts you may , cOntract, pledge yourslves against "borrowing trouble," ANECDOTE OF DANIEI. WEBSTER.—The Boston (Mass.) Courier relates the fol- lowing : Mr Webster married the woman he loved, and the twenty years which he lived with . her brought him to _the me ridian of greatness. An anecdote, is current on this subject, which is not re corded in the books. Mr. Webster,was becoming intimate with Miss Grace Fletcher, when the skein of silk getting into a knot, Mr. Webster assisted in un ravelling the snarl—then looking up to Miss grace, he said. "We have untied a don't you thinkwe could tie oneß" Grace was a little embarrassed, said not a word, but in the course of a feir min utes she tied a knot in a piece of tape and handed it to 'Mr. Webster. This piece of tape, the thread'of his - domeatic joys, was found, after the death- of Mr. Webster, preserved as one of his most precious relics. fir Fasten a nail or key to a string and suspend it to your thumb and finger and the nail will oscilate like a pendu linn.

Some pa rents allow their children to attend dan cing sChools, and then wonder that they do `not love to go to prayer meeting, or Sabbath sehool. "I do wish my children loved the prayer meeting," says some fond mother, "but they seem to prefer to go to parties and balls." Very likely. They walk in the way in which you have trained them. You thought' to render them graceful, did you? Yon wanted them to go out into society as graceful aceemplished dancers did you ? Well haven't you had your wish. Cam-they not , dance in the most graceful manner? Not at all strange, then, that they don't lovelincred things. "The Bible says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" Give the child the idea that he must learn to dance be fore he can be prepared fcir society and you need not think it strange that he grows up desiringrather to be on the dancing floor ' than In the prayer room. "As the twig is bent so is the tree inch ned." 2. Some seem indifferent about what companions their children chobse, and then wonder that they have learned so many wicked ways, having their con science seared, as it were, with a hot iron. "It is surprising to me that John has become so saucy. I can't imagine where he learned such big Worde." No, it is not strange at all. You did not choose good associates allowed him to cheese his own.

"Evil conaminiictitfotol corrupt goad menhirs." The 'Mart is tfaturally depraved and consequeritly tuns 'to ail!. The child is morelikely to 'choose evil thaw good society, 'hence he must be looked after. A REBEL BEEIMER.-I'he Beechers are known throughout , the Union as men of talent and positive views. Many term them extreme, especially , on the Maio question. But this rebellion has even cut in twain the family of BeeChers. • During the battle of Stone River, Dr. Charles Bence, of, Galesburg, Illinois, assistant surgeon of the 29th Illinois volunteers, remained upon the field. busily engaged in casing for his wound ed men, and with them was made prison er. Soon after, while 'surrounded by a group of rebel officers, to, whom he bad been intredueed, he was surprised to find even siew Yorkers among the officers iif the Southern army. "Worse, than 'that, sir," said a bystan der. "In ins you see a man from Mas- SaChusetts and Illinois. My name is Edward Beecher, President of Knox College, at Galesburg Illinois. Henry Ward Beecher is my uncle." "Why Galesburg is my town, and I know , your father w,e11," replied the Illinois aoctor. The pleasure of the acquaintance thus formed was mutual, and the doctor soon found that he had met with a gen , , nine Beecherin appearance and manners. This son of Edward, the eminent, was a quartermaster in General Chatham's, di vision, and previous to the ivir bad prac ticed law in Memphis, Tennessee. He was not at all bitter in his feelings, nor harsh in his views, . but < yet withal a most determined rebel. ara- A 'Lonisville (Ky.) paper, of Thursday says : "A young-looking sol dier-girl, who had served twenty months in an Indiana regiment, and,participated in several hard contested engagements and beciane tired of-tlid - seivice, and donning female apparel again, crossed the Ohio river yesterday on her way to her long forsaken home.
