BY EUZABETH BIGELOW. “It’s of no use to talk about my be ing your wifo, CHAnfiEY. Yoiw father wfll never consent, and mother will never even let me see yon—^if she can help it—without MS consent. No, you mustn’t come a, step further 1 ” And pretty E osb O abtee drew her arm out of C haeley HiiKLBtmT’s very decidedly, when they reached the end of the vil lage common. “You know it almost breaks my heart to say it, Charley, but I don’t think 1 can ever meet- you so again. Mother will be sure to find it out, and it would veX her so. And she has had enough trouble '^thout.m y giving her any—poor m»mipa,!” , Charley Hurlburtshruggedhis should ers impatiently. “Your mother comes before -me, of course! It is no matter bow I feel. You say coolly that you can never jheefl me again ; that mgans, I suppose, that we are never to see each other again.” ‘Why, no, Charley, if you wul only have patience to wait! Everything may come out right.” “W a it! You have been felling me to wait for the last two years, and .things are no nearer to coming out right than they ever were.” “I can’t tMnk why your father should dislike my mother so. I think mother Icnows, but she never will tell me. Miss E stheb W ago says that they were Ipvers once,, and had a quarrel that your father can nevBr foi'get. 3jit one can’t believe, all Miss (Esther’s gossip.” “I don’t think it is anything' more than a notion he has got into Ms head. He’s a crochety, set old feUow, h u the’tf> got a good big heart, .Rose, it one can, only get at it. If ^ou Were only fay wife, he would be bure to oomjs round apd think the world of you. If you would only marry ifte. Rose! At the ■Worst—if he womdn’t come round—he could only disinherit me, and I Rave a pair of good strong arms, and some . braiaa fight way—cur-. way—through the world.” _ 'I'he moonlight showed him her face, and he fancied that there was a little shadow of hesitation on it. But she shook her head firmly after a moment. “Now, Bose, darling, don’t tell me again to wait—” . i The lest of the sentence was &hYei. spoken, for a heavy hand was laid on the young man’s shoulder, and an angry voice mimicked Ms tender tones. “Rose, darUng! I’ll teach yoii to ‘darling’ her, young inan ?” And there was Dr. HuEEBtm'r’S 'face, red ■with anger, looking over Charley’s shoulder. Bose at the first glimpse of it, turned and ran,4ike a little epward as she was. “Haven’t I forbidden your seeing that yoimg woman? What do you mean by sneaking round here ■with her, nice a thief in the night ?” pursued the doctor, furiously_ _ _____ __ “It is not my fault that I do not walk ■with her openly; it is not_ my fault that she is not my -wife. I t is only be cause she ■will not consent to be sOj” answered Charley, stoptly, ' . , “Won’t consent to be yo^ur 'wife, eh ? It-doesn’t seem to mo that she treats .yon exactly like a rejected lover!” answered the doctor. “She would marry Me, if she 'werp allowed to choose,\ apS'^erSd CKarJey, tiying hard to keep hjs temper. “Her mother ■will not consent.” “Humph! not consent? that’s pretty well!” growled the doctor. “So she thinks my son is not good enough for her daughter!” . ■ , ' i ^ “She does not objeefc to jne. W, yop would give yom- consent to our mafl.^ riage, she would give hers.*’ , ; 1 “Ah, that’s i t ! 'Well, my consent you’ll never have, yoimg man, you may rely upon that. Arid if ever I hear of your being -with that young woman a\ain m turn you oht of doors, sir. Not a penny of my money shall you ever have, sir. Eemember th a t! I am not one to make idle threats,” Charley was about to reply, but they had reached ■the house by tMs time, and the doctor went into the .ofllce, and sljiut the door behind Mm ■with a bang. So there was nothing for poor Charley to do but to take his way disconsolate ly up stairs to bed. , In the meantimA the .doclipr, seized the poker and Stirred up the i fiying fire iuMs-grate savagely. “Won’t consent, eh-?

But he cooled do'wn very soon, sufflci- entlyto carry the poker back'to its place, and begin a search for dressing- go'wn and slippers, a search wMch proved long, and served to fum his anger from Charley to another, ' “Of aU the miserable housekeepers that ever I had, tMs BA bues woman is the worst!” he gcumhled,, jerking him self at last into the dilapidatea and comfortless looking drCSsing-gown-, gnd the slippers trodden down at the beep “Not a drop of warm water, or. .any thing to eat in the house, 1’ll.w ^ -ant!” And he strode- into^he-’flining-room, wMch indeed was cojd And void of cheer. He went into the pantry and jnunelh- ed a hard very dark-colored doughnut savagely. “I ’d turn her away to-morrow, she ahd her husband, too, ohly that thq next one would be sure to be worse. They are all abopt of a piece. There is nothing worse to have in the house than a housekeeper—^unless it’s a 'wife. And I don’t know— - Doctor Hurlbnrfe stiR stood ia tbe ■pantry, solemnly deliberating, after the last morsel of doughnut had disappear ed. It was so long since he had a wife that he could not decide whether one was worse than a honsekeeper or not. It was a question he had been revolv ing in his mind for years, without coming to any definite eonolnsion. “ ‘Better bear the iUs we have, than fly to others that we know not ofy the poet says.

But Ms face was not that of a man who is quite satisfied w ith his decision; and he stood Ipr a long time at the ■window, and looked do'wn to the foot pf the hill, where the Widow C aetee ’ s house was plainly visible’ in the moon light. “No, no ! once is enough for a man to be made a fool of ! And that silly boy shaU never marry her daughter, if I can help iji!” he said, at last, turning away ■with a decided shake of the head. From which signs an' observer would have supposed Miss Esther Wagg to be right, and the Widow Carter an old sweetheart who had “made a fool of him.” Bose Carter, with pale cheeks and do-wneast eyes, sat dem'urelyse-wing be side her mother the next mormng, when not co.mmented on by her mother, but the squire was not so delicate. “Bless me ! what haKbecome of the red cheeks ? \Why tbey are as white as snowbaUs! Too much se-wing and moping, and not enough air and exer cise—or haS its sweetheart deserted it, poor little Rosy ?” Upon wMoh Rose’s cheeks grew scar let, of course. * But the squire was not Satisfied. “The cMlfi looks really iU, and some thing must be done,” he said to Mrs. Carter, as he went away. “She hasn’t looked like herself for months.” And the squire, ha'unted by Rose’s pale face, betook himself directly to Doctor HurlburfB office. “I want you to go rnd'^see my mece, little Rose Carter, or prescribe some thing for her. She says nothing ails her, but she looks pale and moped. I suppose it is nothing but want of exer cise ; if, these girls would, only do as their grandmothers d id ! But you know what will help her—it’s nerves, I sup pose,” said the squire, who fancied that “nerves” were at the bottom of aU femi nine ailments. “Ah, yes ! I ’U send her a prescrip tion,” said the doctor, heartily. And thirddng it the heartiness of interest, and good-nature, the squire went on his way reUeyed, ! , , And Doctor Hnrlburt, feelingipven less amiable than on the previous bight, sat down at Ms desk, and \wrote a pre scription for Miss Rose Garter. Just as he finished it Ms man B a e k e s brought Mm a, note, It was from the man ’wlyO' t<A>k care of the doptOr’s farm on the outskirf s of the 10\;™ hear th^ 'Wido'w Thomas’s wood lot. ‘‘The’Wid'o^bSi^mas^s inan Jake wdnts to know if you will lot the \widow take Black Bess, to go down to Saugus to the quarterly confer ence meeting to-night.

And the doctor wrote a few words hurriedly, in answer to Samuel Hodg kins, not \without grumbling at__ the man’s stupidity in not letting the \widow have the horse \without applying to Mm. But no matter ! the -widow would not have to ask for Black Bess again. “With aU’ my worldly goods I thee endow,” he meant to say to her veiy soon. Barnes was entrusted with the two notes—one for Miss Rose Carter, and , the othe? for little Sam Hodgkins to carry to Ms father. In the meantime, Charley had come' to a new resolve. He would see Mrs. Carter onpe more, and try to gain her consent to Ms marriage \with Ilose. ■Without her consent^ Rose would never be his wife. It was evidently a hopeless task to try to overcome Ms father’s prejudices; but he was determined that they should not be allowed to destroy his happiness, and Rose’s, too,! fop life. Mrs. Cartpr liked him ; she \would give Rqbe tobihi willingly, she had told Mm, if it were not for his father’s objections; she might be persuaded to, in spite of it. And there was no time to lose, for in two days he. was going away to a dfctant city, to. establish himself to business. He bad! hoped to dairy Rose \with him,, but all his pleading had been of no avail ■ to induce her to marry him against her mother’s-will.

There \was no address on tha outside, and Mrs. Carter opened it, while Charley waited^ to a fever of suspense to know what Ms father could have to say to Mrs. Darter. Hep face \was a picture of amazement as sheread, but pleasure shown through it as she handed the note to Charley. It \rtas brief and to the point. ‘■toljhlm have her. “E dwakd Hum um iT.” ‘*I dways .told Bose he had a heart if one could only get at i t !” cried Charley, in a transport of delight. “Now, yon, can make'no objection ; .-We have jour promise !

With aU his faults Reuben was not the worst man that ever lived'! • Charley was obliged to repress his gratitude for a while, for when he re turned home he found that Ms father had gone to a neighbortog town to a tt^ d a medical convention, and ha would not return home \untill \the fol- lo\wtog day, ■^^en the doctor returned the next afternoon Charley \was absent, busied \with preparations for the approaching wedding. Dr, Hurlbnrt, finding a leisure afternoon upon his hands, made an unusually careful toilet, and drove out to call upon the Widow Thomas, He had fully made up Ms mind that it would be a lesser ew to have the Widow Eilpha Thomas for a wife, than Mrs. Barnes for a honsekeeper, but he had not the air of a very eager wooer; and, in truth, ha was not -\without Ms misgivings; he saw in imagination the widow’s bladk eyes snapping defiantly at Mm, and wondered if he would not repent, if she proved to be of a qparrel- some temper. And he cast two or three glances back at the Widow Carter’s cottage, and as he did so he certainly sighed. The ■widow had been to the \window and she had bowed to him—^bowed, and actual ly smiled a little, though to a shy, sad ■way. Dr. Hnrlburt did not quite understand it. He had met her but t\wice to be sure, since he had come back to the \village two years before, but at neither of those times had she shown any disposition to recognize hini. His lo'ok^ had hot invited a recogni tion either then oj nOw, but here Alie was as sweet as a May morning! It was aU her artfulness, of course! She thought she could cajole him into let ting Charley marry her daughter. She \would see! He would send that boy to Europe, to China- if need be; to get him out of Rose Carter’s way. Still it is certain that he sighed deep ly as he passed- the cottage, and Widow Thomas’s black eyes snapped before Mm aU the more ominously in contrast with the Widow Carter’s soft, shy blue ones. Was Miss Esther Wagg right, and ■was it possible that there was still a spring 'of sentiment in the doctor’s heart, wMeh'fifty years and Ms crusty temper had not been able wholly to dry, Erom afar off th^ Widow Thomas saw him coming “riding along with that grand feareless air, as if he o\wned the whole to\wn as she declared, and pre pared to do battle. She was in such a quiver of indignation that her cap-rib- bons stood up straight, -and the snap-, ping eyes Of Ms imag^ation were as nothing compared -with these. “How dare yon come here, you,in sulting, hypocritical \villain I you per fidious -wretch ! Leave this house, sir, and if ever you come here again F ll set Towser upon you as sure as you live!” she screamed, To say that the doctor was amazed would but fully express his emotion. He was therougMy alarmed and lost no time to escaping from the presence of the maniac (as ho felt sure she must bel. to Ms carri.a«e. “Insane from an qvil temper! ah, I knew those eyes were not for nothing I But why her anger should be directed agatost me I can’t understand; though I suppose her \wrath falls upon any one who happens to be near when the fit seizes her. O, what an escape I have had !” And Dr. Hnrlburt went Ms homeward way, resolved to be contented with a housekeeper, and thankful that Ms lot was no -worse. Barnes met Mm \with an unusnally smiling countenance, “Mr. Charley’s been .waiting to see you, sir, he waited a while, but of coiHse he could not wait any longer, and it’s six o’clock this minute. He told me to tell you how thankful and happy he was, and that he should feel a\wful bad if you didn’t come to the wedding.” “Thankful and happy !” “Come to the wedding !” “What are you talking about, you idiot ?” deinanded the doctor. “To Ms wedding \with Miss Rose Carter. I thought of coiurae yon knew. It’s half past e i ^ t . ” “Theyoung rascal! Does he dare to do th is!” shouted the doctor, and rushed out of the house, and down to the Widow Carter’s cottage. Mrs. Carter and Charley met him in the hall. His \wrath had had time to cool a little to Ms walk, and if it had not he would have found it hard to be so demonstrative as usual under the •widow’s calm clear eyes. But he ex pressed Ms disapproval quite strongly enough to show them that there had been some mistake. Charley produced the note, and the doctor saw through the mystery at once —^Mrs, Thomas’s lunacy and all.' That stupidBames had changed the AotO^, The Widow Thomas had been ad\vised td stop gadding about of evenings and Mrs. Carter had considered herself per mitted to' “let Mm have” her daughter I However angry he might be, the doctor saw that it was too late to interfere. “Well, young man, you have chosen your way, and yon must walk to i t ! She’s her mother aovCr again, they say —ybu had better marry her as soon as possible of she’ll jilt yOu, as her moth er did me.” - , The Widow Carter looked at htoi \witE something like a flash to her eyeA ' “How can you say that, when ypn know it \was you who deserted me I” she said. ‘^Didn’t you \write me a letter \wjthin a month of the day that was to have been, o\ur wedding-day, telling me, cool: ly, that you had discovered that yon pre ferred another ?” demanded the doctor. “Never! _ I never wrote you such a letter!” said the \wido\w. Charley be gan to see that an -explanation Was hom ing, a t which a third party would be de trap, and took Ms departure.

An instance of the renewal in sleep of ah impression of memory calling up an apparition to enforce it, (it -is the im pression •wMoh, causes \the apparition, not the apparition wMch conveys the impression,) occurred near Bath, half a centuiy ago, and is related by Miss C obbe in an article on “Unconscious Cerebration,” in the last number of Maemillan’a Magazine. Sir J ohn M il - lbe , a very wealthy gentleman, died. Ideating no children. His widow had al ways understood that she was to have the use of Ms house for her life, -with a very large jointure; but no \wiU making such provision could be found after Ms death. The heir-at-law, a distant con nection, naturally claimed Ms rights, but kindly allowed Lady Miller to re main for six months in the house to com plete her search for the missing papers. The six months drew at last to a close, and the poor -widow had spent fruitless days and weeks in examining every pos sible place of deposit for the lost docu ment, till at last she came to the con clusion that her memory must have de ceived her, and that her husband could have made no such promise as she sup posed, or have neglected to fulfil it had he made one. The very last day of her tenure of the house had just da\wned when to the gray of the morning Lady Miller drove np to the. door of her man of business, in Bath, and rushed excitedly to Ms bed-room door, calling out, “Come to me ! I have seen Sir John ! There is a-will.” The lawyer hastened to ac company her back to her house. All « ,that^he%oMd teU ^ was that her de- ' 'ceased husband had appeared to her m eased husband had appeared to her in tha night, standing by her bedside,and ,had said solemnly, “There is a \wiU !” ‘ 'Where it was remained as imeertato as before. Once'more the house was vain ly searched from cellar to loft.tiU final ly wearied and in despair, the lady and her friend foimd themselves in a garret , at the top of the house. ‘ ‘It is all over, ’’ Lady Miller said ; “I give it up ; my husband deceived me, and I am ruined. ” At that moment she looked at the table over which she was leaning, weeping. “This table was to Ms study once ! Let us examine it.” They looked, and the missing \wiU duly signed and sealed, was \within it, and the \widow was rich to the end of her days. It needs no conjuror to explain - hoW her anxiety called up the myth of Sir lohn Miller’s apparition, and made him say precisely what he had once before really said to her, but of wMoh the memory had waxed fatot. ffaE P ower ot tee S unbeah .

INOREASIN& THE HEIGHT OP ROOMS. It is frequently desirable to raise the roof of a dwelling-house a few feet high er than it was originally built, for the purpose of making sleeping-rooms to the attic story, or to render rooms that are quite too low, more pleasant ahd airy. But many builders dare not at tempt such a job, -unless they take the roof entirely do'wn, for fear that they may get a dead-faU trap on stilts, when they have lifted the roof from its Origi nal foundation. It \will be foimd a com paratively easy job to raise the roof of any ordinary building one foot, or six feet, \with perfect safety, provided a workman \will operate imderstandtogly. % Let us assume, for example, that it is ” desired to raise the entire roof of a dwelling-house, or the roof of one \wing which is thirty feet long and twenty feet \wide. If the lower ends of the raf ters rest on plates six inches square, or larger, it will be better to elevate the plates \with the roof, by cutting open ings through the side walls about six feet from each end, to receive sticks of timber extending across the building beneath the plates. If the building has been erected \with a balloon ftame, there should be three sticks of square timber, one near each end, and one near the middle. Let these timbers be blocked up close to the under side of the plates. The ends of these sticks need not ex tend beyond the outside of the plates, so as to interfere \with the comice. If there are no collar-leaves secured to the rafters, the plates must be fastened, temporarily, to the timbers, to prevent their spreading as soon as tbe roof is lifted. The next step \will be to set a screw near the end of each stic(k of tim ber, on a foundation that \will not topple nor sway as soon as it receives the su perincumbent pressure of the roof. If strong iron jack screws cannot be ob tained conveniently, tM’ee two-inch •wooden bench-screws \will elevate one side of a large or small roof \with per fect safety. The \writer has frequently lifted one comer of a thirty by forty foot bam with a pair of two and one- eighth inch wooden screws. As soon as the timbers are secured to their proper places, and the screws are set to lift one side, remove a board just be low the cornice, and saw off all the studs oh both sides of the building. Let aU the studs at_ the gable end be sa-wn to two at a point nearly to a horizontal line \with the plates, and let the gable end walls and \window rise bodily \with the roof. Now, let the screws be all worked together, blocking up every inch as fast as the ropf rises. After one side has been elevated six inches, remove the screws to the opposite side, and elevate it about'one foot, keeking the timbers beneath the plates and well blocked^ as fast as tbe roof rises. 'to case there should be a chimney resting on a closet, or on the collar- beams supported by a partition, procure another wooden screw, and set it be neath the chimney. Pour wooden screws wiU usually cost no more than the pro prietors of jack screws are accustomed to charge for the use of a set of screws wliile performing such a job. If tbe screws are placed on the foundation so as to elevate the roof perpendicularly, by raising one side six inches, then the opposite side one foot, and after this, lifting each side alternately one foot, there \will be no difficulty to carrying up the roof to a pe^endicular direc tion, to any desired Mght, provided the screws and the blocking are supported by a broad foundation of blocks that \will not rock. Before removing the screws see that the blocking is so se cure that the roof cannot slip, to case the screws are not set peipendioularly on the opposite side. As the roof is lifted, let a plumb line be frequently employed to determine whether it is not being carried in any dirfictif'n away from a perpendicular line. In case the entire roof is one inch, or more, too far to the north, let the north side be lifted one foot Mgher than tbe opposite side and be blocked np ; then set the screws under the opposite side inclining about one inch per foot in Mght. By this means the roof can be carried m any desired direction, the distance of haU an inch or two inches. If the screws are always set perpendicularly, the reof ■wiU rise to the right direction. If, for example, the plates beneath the roof to be raised were four feet from the cham ber floor, in lieu of square blocks, make a strong platform for each screw to rest on, by placing four pieces of scantling, two feet long, on the ends, for comer posts, and nsaling stays from the top of one to the lower end of another. Then let the scantling stand on strong planks resting on the floor. A crib can then be carried up, bn the tops of the comer posts, \with pieces of plank, or studs or boards, and' the foundation \will not topple. As soon as the roof has been elevated to the desired Mght on one side, let the space in the side wall be fiRed by nailing pieces of studs to the sides of the pieces attached to the plates and the sides of the studs beneath. Then, lift the opposite side of the roof, and secure pieces of studs to the sides of any timbers that have been sawn to two. If studs, when lapped together, be nailed firmly, the side wall -svill be about as strong as if the studs were of one entire piece of timber. Should there be partitions extending from the floor to the roof, tear away the base boards and saw off the studs near the floor; and let another screw be em ployed to carry up such portions of the stracture, or let a self-acting lever, \with a weight at the farther end, hold the partition wall np to the desired position as the roof is rising.— Technologist.

JOHN LAPSTONE. ^ AN ArVECTIONATE LOVE STORY. J ohn L apston e was a cobbler bold— One that old boots mends— He worked full h ard both day and night, For he’d the best of ends ; John loved a p retty sewing gh\li Tho’ she did n e’er know so ; He loved h e r for h er guileless ways. Yet knew her life was sew-sew. H er name was J ane —she sewed on shirts. And though a t work quite swift, She tried to live by making shirts, But scarce could make a shift. When John first saw this \virtnous Jane, His heart by h e r was cleft, She came to leave her shoes to mend. Which she did right and left. John took the shoes and mended them. Sowed np each tiny hole ; 'Twas pleasure, so h e'd n o t the h eart To charge h er for the sole ; To tell the truth, when h e saw Jane He deep in love did fall— She was his first thought and his last— In fact, she was his aU. Next door to John a barber lived, A dapper youth and spry, W ith curly, raven locks, the whieli He only Uved to dye; He gave to Jane pomade, and such, ■with these, his liair and art, He made himself the chosen dear Of that young lady’s heart. When John heard this he straightway rose, And, through the grief h e felt, He swore a solemn o ath that he Tliat barber chap would welt. A plan he thought of, to perform He firmly his mind steeled; Resolved h e’d \win the girl, John grew ’Most h alf consoled and healed. He made a litfie party np— Himself, the girl a n d barber— To show he harbor’d no ill will. They all sailed down the h a rbor; When landing John contrived to make The barber last of ail. And let him, when he made a spring. Receive a watery fall. ThCT hauled him from the river then Much dirtier and sadder. It made him mad to get all wet. But made his h air hke madder. ■Wlien Jane saw this she loudly cried That she woidd never wed A man whose sin was made so plain That on his head ’twas red. So she returned with John, and on Their way home this was d o n e: A minister did what John ne’er Could do—^made a pair one. They both lived h a p p y ; and their wealth And family grew fast; So much so, John says every shoe He makes, he’s “ on his last.” The b arber out to Jersey went. Most likely thinking there He’d lose his grievance, for he’s g ot A goodly change of a i r ; But still his h a ir remained quite red. And he lilmself grew graver.

A year or two ago a talented young lawyer of tMs city, whose name is not Smith, and whose briefs have been like angel’s visits, was delighted by finding to Ms office a richly dressed lady, who announced her desire to employ him professionally. With a beaming smile that could hardly be restrained from, bursting into a fuU'blo\wn laugh, the young Blackstone handed the lady a cushioned arm-chair, and assured her that he was now “entirely and devoted ly at her serrioe.” Seating herself in the proffered offiee- cliair, the lady ungloved a small, \white hand, that literally glistened \with dia monds, and applied a scented handker chief to her lips, blushed, and casting her eyes on the floor, said : “ My business is very particular—it is—^pardon me, sir, but you wiH not be tray me ?” “ Betray you? Not for the world. Madam. You can confide to me -with the same reliance as to a priest at the confessional.” “ The fact is—I want—^that is, 1 have been unfortunate to my married rela tion.” The eyes of the lawyer glistened with pleasure, and draw tog Ms chair Close to the lady, remarked: “ I see—I see—^you want a divorce. I am just the man to get it for you. I am perfectly au fa it to matters of tMs kind, although I never had a ease to court. How long have you been mar ried?” “ Nine years.” “ Nine years ! You must have been very young when you entered that bliss ful—I mean wretched state.” “ I was a mere child—a foolish, inex perienced school-girl. A doting mother placed me in the arms of a man old enough to be my father; but he was rich, and for two or three years 1 did not know the difference. I was as hap py as though my husband had been twenty years younger. But associatiou with other married women opened my eyes, and I became \wretched. I pined for—^well, for a heart more congenial to my own. A man of your age, now, would have suited me better.” “ Exactly so,” exclaimed the lawyer, rubbing Ms hands and t\wisttog Ms in cipient moustache. But your suffer ings will soon terminate; I will get you a divorce, and then—” “ O, dear me!—and then—but I must not be too sanguine. Aly husband is very rich, and he will never permit me to get a divorce if he can help it.” “ Madame, you don’t know the law— it’s majesty—it’s glorious certainty—its magnanimity. Consider yourself di vorced, and rest easy.” “ Let me see—^to tha first place, give me a statement of your grievances.” “ That would take a \whole Week. Yon can imagine what a woman like me must suffer \withsuch a husband.” “Yes, yes—cruel and barbarous treat ment—condition intolerable—neglect, and all that sbrt of thing. I will just dot do'wn a few of the items. Your name is—” “Mrs. ------------- You must know my husband.” “ What, the merchant? He’s rich as Croesus.” “Yes, he’s rich; but I don’t care for that—^I want a divorce.” The lawyer \wrote_ down a sketch of the lady’s matrimoMal infelicities, and again assured her that he would have no difficulty to procuring a divorce \with at least $10,000 alimony- “How much are you going to charge me, now, for m a (^g toe so happy ?” asked the lady. “WeU, I ought to charge you a thou sand dollars, but out oi consideration for your suffering, I will only take a re tainer of one hmrdred doUars,and when it is accomplished you 'will increase it to five hundred doUars. ” ‘‘That is extremely reasonable. 1 have no change about me now. Oh, yes, here is a check for two hundred dollars that my husband gave me to go shopping \with. I will only want half to-day. 'Will you get it cashed for me?” “It is after bank hours, but the check is good. I will give you one hundred for your shopping and keep the check. ” The la\wyer had that day received a remittance of one hundred dollars from Ms father, and handed it over to the lady, and placing his check in Ms pocket-book, bowed Ms client to the door. He was excessively happy at Ms good fortime, and that night dreamed of angelic clients, sensational divorce cases, and a huge pile of one hundred dollar bills. The next mormng he went to the bank to get the check cashed, and was thunderstruck when the teller told litoi that the name of M r. ------------- was forged! Indignant at the thought that Ms fair cUent had been guilty of so base a crime as forging her husband’s name, he hurried to the store of Mr. \with the intention of exposing the lady. He was stiU more astonished when (Mr. informed him that he was a \Widower and had not been blessed with a wife for more thanrten years:’ Young Blackstone was seized \with a fit of toelancholy, which still afflicts him, for all Ms efforts to find the fair s\wtodler have proved nnaVailing.

BY H'm “ fat eOLTEtoCTOB.” To tho young there is no great attrac tion to science mainly because it is not rendered sufficiently attractive. Hop ing to attract attention to scientific subjects, 1 take Attraction for my first theme. _ There are several varieties of Attrac tion, viz : Attraction of Gravitation, Magnetic Attraction, Electric Attrac tion, Attraction of Cohesion, Attraction of Adhesion, Capillary Attraction, Chemical Attraction, and the Attraction of young peoplenf opppsite sex for each other. Sir Isaac Ne\wton discovered Attrac tion of Gravitation to a singular man- , ner. He was sleeping off Ms beer un der an apple tree, one afternoon, when a pound sweet feU and busted him in' the snoot. This set his nose to bleed ing and himself to tMnking, He want ed to know what caused the apple to fall, when as everybody knows it wasn’t a fall apple. “Why,” asked Ne\wton to his most persuasive manner, “when the stem gave way, did not the apple shoot up- ■ward as the sparks do ? and fly away instead of coming down ? and that, too, when according to the market reports, apples are not coming down ?” To our eye, although it may be aU in our eye. Sir (Die sitting to the grass un der that apple tree, studying out At traction of Gravitation, while trying to stop the nose bleed,,was one of the mostdnteresttog tableaux to history. “I have it j” cried Ne\wton eiulttog- ly, and just then another apple fell and hit Mm on top of the head, satisfying him there was sometMng to it “It’s Attraction,” said Newton, rubbing his head; “Attractionof Gravitation;” and it has been Attraction of Gravitation ever since. Even the apple didn’t (know why it fell (any more than Adam, who ate the first apple, knew how he fell), until Neivton found it out. Large objects attract smaUer ones, as we frequently see a little man chasing after a big woman. If the earth had been smaller than the apple, the earth would have gone to the apple, even if it had to climb the tree. Newton—who knew tons of things—^knewthat,though it may be news to you. The earth attracts everything to itself within reach. No “star” can draw like it. And it is this Attraction of Gravity that establishes weight. Tumble out of a sixth-story window, though, and yon can’t w ait: you have to go right along. Not being a grave man myself, there is no Attraction of Gravity for me. Magnetic Attraction is developed to the lodestone, wMoh attracts steel. Some people’s fingers are lodestones, irresistibly attracted to steal TMs species of Attraction bears the fasMon- able name of “Kleptomania.” Electrical Attraction is quite another thing. \When lightning strikes a man, that is Electric Attraction. An enthu siastic Electrician went one day in a steel overcoat, during a thunder storm, to get struck by lightning, so as \to write np Ms experience. Poor feUow ! He was never able to right himself np, and tell how it seemed to strike him. Attraction of Cohesion is the force wMch holds together the parts of a body; whether fluid or solid. Attrac tion of Adhesion is that which holds dissimilar bodies togetherwhen brought into close contact. Mixed drinks 'are held together by Attraction of Adhe sion. When a man takes too many of them, and flies all to pieces, he loses Ms Cohesion, and becomes more or less incoherent. Capillary Attraction is the attraction of Hqnid to the interior of small tubes. It is a mistake to suppose the term originated to the attraction many peo ple had toward the pillory, in the days of that time-honored institution. Ca pillary is from the Latin capillus, the hair, and applies to the smaU tubes of animals and plants. We have capillary doctora, \who (ca) pill ns to death. For- them I have no Capillary Attraction. Chemical Attraction is the force wMch holds dissimilar bodies together, and thus generates a third, different from either. ^ It makes it bad when Chemical Attraction takes a man and woman of dissimilar tastes, and binds them to gether to wedlock. A third product is apt to beTgeuerated, known as domestic discord. The above are the principal varieties of Attraction that Natural Science re cords .—New tork Saturday Journal.

Among the rest was a blacksmith, who was reported to have two wives. The bigamist was kneeling at the altar, when some one told “Uncle BHly” that the fellow had two li\vtog wives. “ Uncle Billy” went to the blacksmith, and tell ing him what he had heard, asked if the report was true. “ Yes,” said he, “I am sorry to say it is; that is, I am li\ring \with the second woman, but am not married to her.” “Then yon must leave her or leave this altar.” “I can’t leave her,’’repliedthe blacksmith, “for we have three children.” “Then you’ll have to get away from this altar pretty fast,” replied “Uncle BUly,’’ and seiz ing the fellow by the pants and collar, he held him up and addressed the con gregation as follows : “When we let down the gospel net we sometimes catch frogs, infltead of fish, and here is a frog v:e caught to-mght. Behold how he leaps.” And suiting Ms actions to Ms words, he pitched the fellow clear over the altar railing and outside the limits marked for the congregation. After tMs proceeding he quietly said, “And now, brethren, let the meeting pro- ceei.” G e t t in g E\ 7 e n .— A farmer cut do'wn a tree which stood so near the boundary line of Ms farm that i t was doubtful if it belonged to him or Ms neighbor.— The neighbor,however,claimed the tree, and prosecuted the man who cut it, for damages.
