She has bright golden hair of the color of October sunshine, danoingblaok eyes, and rosy cheeks. You will notice her particularly be cause of tbis strange blending of blonde and brunette. She is two and a half years old, and calls hursolf \Foy the~short for Florence. She has a way of looking up in your face with a ourious, winsome, self-justifying smile when yon have administered some grave word of re buke, and saying, \ Foy is nuffini; but a baby. anywa^I\ She has quaint, original ways. Sometimes, when having been hard at play, alia conies and says, \Take Foy, mamma I\ but always at night, instead of being rocked to sleep in my arms, she wants to lie down in her own little bed, wide awake and alone, and to ting herself to sleep with odds and ends of songs, in which \ Tramp, Tramp,' f\ Union forever.\ •' Far away,\ and \ I have a papa in the promised land,'' are all blended in a glorious medley of-pathos and patriotism. Fainter and fninter grow her snatches of song, and finally she is osleop, her dolly hugged close to her lit tle heart 1 have sometimes thought, since she got lost, that some instinct led her to go to bed alone in tins way, thrt I might not miss ber so much when she oame to leave me. Yea, the little girl is lost There is a great silence in the house. Her little bed will never be pressed by her dear form any more • its pillows -will never again feel the weight of ber bright head. It looks empty and lonesome; like the robins nest from which the robin-has flown away. In her rocking chair sits her orphaned dolly ; there are no little bury hands to change her frocks, no prattling mouth to (•raise or chide her with cunning wise words. Polly stares straight at the wall, and waits in vain (or the little mamma to come back. The ABC blocks, piled regolarly np will never be disturbed again by the fingers that so tri umphantly found \ M for mamma,\ •' G for •gra-roa \-« F for Foy,\ and so on through the household list. The toy tea set, with its bouse wifely cracks and jams, is dim and dusty from disuse. The \ dog's ears \ In ber picture books are getting straightened from being so long unopened. The swing in the shed ithung up, A certain little red cart, whose wheels used to be very noisy, is laid away in a corner. The bouse is all the time orderly and trim, I miss the bits of bright ribbon and torn paper and balls and pictures, and sometimes a pulled-off thoe, that used to bestrew the carpet My work basket can sit ever so near the edge of the table, and its spools rnd scissors will be en tirely safe. And oh, the bouse is so still I Very much of the time I hear nothing but the tick ing of the clock, which seems to say, \ lost, lost,\ and when It strikes the hours there is a lingering knell in the sound that I never no- ticeduati! the little girl went awav. Yes, the little girl is lost She did not want to go away at first For eleven days we held one hand and the angela held the other. And the angels won her at last One sunny noon-tide, when summer sat, ripe and^riWllfrul, upon the bills, tbey stole her owayTfom us. They told her that the world was too hard and cruel for such a loving, tender little soul as hers; that they had permited ber to come here only to showus to heaven; and that she might go baek* with them now into the immortal land of light and beauty. Thus they won her awry. Her soul went out of her soft bright eyes, say ing, \ pretty, pretty,\—just as one other pure soul once said: \ It is beautiful,\ when looking beyond the valley of the shadow—and our lit tle girl was also lost to us. There was only a beautiful dead form left, that grew oolder the longer we held it to our fevered, anguished heart; a white, still face, whose strange, sweet, subtle smile seemed to rebuke the selfish, hun gry kisses that fell upon it. We cut off some of her bright ourls, because th*y seemed alive still; and this one that I hold now always clings of itself around my finger, as if it were her spirit caressing me. Good bye, little Foy 1 I sometimes think it is we who are \lost »nd that you, only, have the blessed home. A poor widow was asked how she became so much attached to a certain neighbor, and re plied that she was bound to Mm by several cords of wood which ha had sept to ber during the bard winter. v Lost Arts. In regard to colors, wo are far behind, the,, ancients. None of the colors in the Egyptian paintings of thousands of years ago are in the least faded, except the green. The Tyrian purple of the entombed city of Pompeii is as fresh, to-day as it was three thousand years ago. Somo of the stucco, painted ages before the Christian era, broken up and mixed, re vealed its original lustre. And yet we pity the ignorance of the dark skinned children of ancient Egypt The colors upou the walls of Nero's festal vault are as fresh as if painted yesterday So is the cheek of the Egyptian prince who was contemporaneous with Solo mon, and Cleopatra, at whose feet Crcaar laid the riches of his empire. And in regard to metals. The edges of the statues of the obelisks of Egypt ami of the un dent walU of Home, are as sharp as if but hewn yesterday. And the stones still remain so closely fitted, that their se&ms, laid with mor tar, cannot be penetrated with tho edge of a f ienknifo. And their surface is exceedingly isrd—so hard that when tlia French artists engraved two linos upon an obelisk brought from Egypt they destroyed, in the tudious task, mauy of the best tools which could bo manufactured. And yet theso ancient monu ments are traced all over with inscriptions put upon them in olden time. This, with other fucts of a striking character, proves that they were far more skilled in mutuls than we are. Quite recently, it is said that when an Ameri can 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, aud another made n awordjil Damascus excellence from a pieco of iron. Fiction is very old. Scott had bis counter parts two thuiisaod years ago. A story i* told of a warrior who had no time to wait for tho proper forging of his weapon, hut seized it red hot rode f.irward, but louud, to his eur prise that the cold nir had tempered his iron into an excullent steel weapon. Thu temper- lug of steel, therefore, which was new to us a century since, was old two thousand years ago. Ventilation is deemed a very modem art But this is not a fact for apertures uuquestioa- ably mado for the purpose of ventilation, as found IQ the pyramid tombs of Egypt Yes, thousands of years ago, the barbarous Paguns went so far as to ventilate, their tombs, while wo yol scarcely know to ventiluta our houses A Bridal Huco In Asia. Tho conditions of tho bridal race, a custom prevalent among Asiatic nations, are these. Tho maiden has a certain start givon her which she? avails herself of the gam a suffi cient distance from the crowd to enable her to manage her~ateed with freedom, so as to as sist in the pursuit of the suitor whom she pre fers On a signal from the father all the horses gallop after the fair one, and whichever first succeeds in encircling her wuist with bis arm, no matter whether disagreeable or not to her choicfl. Is entitled to claim her as his wife After the usual delay incident upon such oo caslons, tho maiden quits tho oircle of her re lations, and putting her steed into n hard gal lop, darts into an open plain. When satisfied with her position, she turns round to the impa tient youths, and stretches out her arms to wards thcin as if to woo their approaoh. This is the moment for giving the signal to com mence the chase, and each of tho impatient* youths, dashing his pointed heels into his coursers sides, darts like the unheeded hawk in pursuit of his fugitive dove. The savannah was extensive, full twelve miles long, and three in width, and as the borseruenspeu across the plain the favored lover became soon apparent by the efforts of the maiden to avoid all otb era who might approach her At length, after nearly two-hours racing, the number of pur suers is reduced to four, who are all together and gradually gaining on the pursued. With them is the favorite , but alas I his horse sud denly fails in his spaed; and, as she anxiously turns her head, she perceives with dismay the hapless position of ber lover. Each of the more fortunate leaders, eager with anticipated triumph, bending his bead on his horse's mane, shouts at the top of his voice, \I oome, my Pen I I'm your lover.\ But she, making a sudden turn, and lashing her horse almost to fury, darts across their path, and makes for that part of the plain where her lover is vain ly endeavoring to goad on his weary steod — The three others instantly cheok their career; but, in the hurry to turn back, two of the horses are dashed furiously against each oth er, so tbat both steeds-and riders roll over the plain. The maiden laughed (for she well knew she could elude the tingle horseman) and flow to the point where her lover was.— But her only pursuer waa rarely mounted, and not so easily shaken off. Making a'laat- afld desperate effort, be dashed alongside the maiden, and\ stretching out bis arm almost won tbe unwilling price; but she, bending ber head to the horse s neck, eluded bis grasp, and wheeled off. Ere the discomfited norseman could again approach her, ber lover's arm was around ber waist, and, amidst the sbonts of the spectators, tbey turned towards the fort RAW FLESH AND BRANDT IX TOE TOEATUXXT or CONSUMPTION.—The method of treating con sumptive diseases by raw meat and alcohol appears to have been attended with wonderful results. It bos now been tried In oo less than 2,000 cases, and, as we are\ tfM'd, in nearly all successful!/. Patients Have'' inoreased in weight to the s-extent ot some five, eight ten and thirteen pounds in tbe course ot two or three weelbC SugffcDtloua for tbo Fireside. Young men or boys occupy a position of great importance or dignity in tbo family cir cle. They may increaso the happiness of the family, or they may render it quite miserable. They may be a staff and a^comfort to their parents, or they may be a burden and sorrow. They can delight their sisters, or thoy can tor ment them. Thoy can tease and domineer over their little brothers, or they can confide in and assist them. Now the foregoing remarks are not advice, and may not be of any particular benefit to any one; but, boy or young man, as the cose may be, I write, them for your inspection, and to ask tho question, do they- ropresent any part of tho character I a Can you read them with tbo consciousness that the good in tbem ap plies to you F If not, rcfleat This may seem obscure, but if you are an uohappinets to those around you. probably the best reason you onn give is. \I didn't think;\ bub you ought to think—your own welfare demands it, while it is Impossible to estimate the injury you may do to others as well as yourself, for neglect up on this point Do little aoteof kindness (a all the members of your family whenever you have tho opportunity. You do.not know— unless this has been your conduct and you have experienced the happy results—how the affections of n family cluster around such a son aud a brother. Endeavor to bo agreeable to all, havo tho proper feeling for others, and there is no doubt but what you will act prop erly towards them. ' tn short, be a gentleman in tbo true senso of the word. Cultivate your mind by reading and studying books treating of subjects of practical value. Observe the conduct oi prominent men -with whom you may be acquainted, and praotiao whatever your judgment approves in them. Be atton- tivoto your sisters, and go-with them igjcom3l.|f' pany whenever practicable. Be respeotful to your father, and consult him upou matters portaining to your welfare, and follow his ad- vioo just as near as ie consistent with your own ideas of propriety. The kindness and care which, during all yonr life your mother has lavished upon you, will of course induoe you to treat her with marked kiudaess, deference and respect Thank ber for the many favors she does you, aud show her by your notions that you are nut unmindful of her superior worth. Tho Seller Sold. An incident recently ocourrod in a town on the Conneotiout river whioh illustrates the ds-ngur of practical joking, and served at the time its purpose of fun and raillery. A certain barber happening In a store, a clerk who wished to play tho barber a trick, offered him a bottle of bear's oiL The latter did not want I t but being over-urged took it aud paid for. it On bis opening it In his shop, tbo oil was found to be lamp oil, with a very rank smell. Nothing was said of the shave the clerk had practiced, and the barber shaved along as us ual until the matter bod time to be forgotten. A few evenings since, the clerk went into tbe harbor's shop to bo shaved, preparatory to a ball. After the harvest of the thick, beardy skin was reaped, the clerk straightened him self up.jmd exclaimed \Now slap on tbe oil.\ A good handful was poured out; \slapped and rubbed in. - A second followed, but before It could be rubbed in, the clerk \smell suth- en,\ and leaped from the chair as if be had been shot, at tbe same time giving utterance to sundry expletives, coming under the cogni zance of the statute against profane swearlBg. ' The barber assured tho enraged customer that be bad put bear's oil on his head, and from the very bottle he had sold him. If it was poor oil, it was the clerk's fault Thero was no resisting this, and the matter was settled \by refunding the money paid tor tbe oil, and abampooning at the clerk's ex pense. The clerk went to the ball, but the rank lamp oil stuck to-his hair, and tho snuffs of those who camo near Mm showed tbafc-thebar> bor was wicked when he eharopooaed blm. MORAL.—Honesty is the best polioy, and lamp oil is by no m eansthe best thing to make tie course of pleasure run smooth. TUK MOSQUITO QUESTION.—Josh Billings gives tbe following remarks on a musical favorite of everybody We are told tbat there want ensy thing made in vain. This is, sum so, but I have thought tbe time spent inmanufaktringmuske- toze mast be wasted if the musketoze want How they wero put together I never could tell, and there is oue oommerehall pekuliarity about the muskeeter trade, and that ds tbe supply always exceeds the demand, and yet tbe production is not diminished; I kan't un derstand this no how. They are born of poor but industrious parents, and are brought up with great care under the auspices of some of our best families; they have also consumate courage. I have known a single musketeer to file a man and bis wife awl nite long, and draw the fust blood. It is very essy to kill muskee- tore—when you can. Bat in striking em, you are very apt to strike the pla<:e where they re cently wax. They are cheerful little cusses, singing as they toil. To DSSTKOY RATS.—The Museum of Nalorsl History at Paris is, or rather was, dreadfully infested wjth rats, but thanks to one. of ihe em ploy tes.it is now free from the| nuisance. The, happy thought of pouring\bisulphide of carbon in the boles occurred to that gentleman, and tbe vapor, we need hardly sav, was fatal to all the raw who stopped to inbafo it Namca of Countries. Europe signifies a country of while complex, ion ;_so named because the inhabitants wore of a lighter complexion than thosu of either Asia or Africa. Asia signifies brethren, or in the middle, from the faottbat geographers place it between Eu rope and Africa. Africa signifies the land of oorn, or ears. It was celebrated for its abundance of corn, and all sorts of grain. Spain, a country of rabbits or conies. This country was oncaso infested withtheso animals, that tbo inhabitants petitioned Augustus for an army to destroy Jthe-m. Italy, a country of pitch, from its yielding great quantities of black pitch. Gaul, modern France, signifies a people of yellow hair as characterized its first Inhabi tants, — • Hibernian is utmost or last habitation, for beyond this westward, Phconeoisns, we are told, never extended their voyages. Britain, the. oonntry of tin, as there were great quantities of load and tin found on the adjacent island. The Greeks called it Albion, which signifies, in the Phconeolaa tongue, either white or high mountains, from the whiteness of Ita shores or tho rocks on its western shore. UmnoDucmVE Faurr TBEES.—Sometimes tbo fruit trees aro unproductive from other causes than poverty of the soil or neglect of the orch- ardist They often grow too luxuriant to bear well. In this oase, root-pruning is very effec tual, aud is performed by digging a circle around tbo tree. A fifteen year old tree, for instance, may bo encircled at five feet from the trunk. No rules can be laid down for ibis, and judgment must bo exercised. If cut too olose, tho treo may be stunted for years, and If too far it will not be effective The aim should be to reduoo the root about one-third. Recent investigations by geologists have es tablished the fact that a large portion of Illin ois contiguous to the Ohio river, contains val uable deposits of lead, An eminent geologist says that that entire section of tho State ap pears to be filled with lead voins, SO to 60 yards apart, and yloldlng ore in paying quantities. Thcso veins begin about 30 feet below the sur face, and have been traced down to tbo depth of 1600 feet, becoming richer the deeper they decended. Capitol alone is needed to develop somo of the richest lead mines In tbe country. How TO SAVE APPLZS.—An Oswego paper says:—\ Ex-Senator Trumbull presented to us, tho other daypsome samples of apples of differ ent and splendid varieties, which were put away lost Fall at gathering time, and were just aa sound and fresh on the day tbey wero given to us, in September, as when .they were plokea from the trees. They were simply put in bar rels and placed In an ice-house; and tbe ex- Senator is entirely right in supposing tbat the information may be valuable to many persons.' In the district of which Moscow is tbe cen tre, there is an immense ooal bed ooveriog an area of 120,000 square miles, and in tbe region, of the Dou River there is also an enormous ooal bod. Tbe Moscow coal basin is said to be as large as the entire bituminous coal arta of the United States; while the ooal basin of the Don is more than half as large as the coal measures of Great Britain.
