No wondering crowd, with envious eye, Looked op my treasures rare; y were weighticr far than gold; Itt increase, though I grow old, ae are be: compare; Would all the restless hearts I seo Bad ships like these that came to me! MY OLD UMBRELLA. I always prided myself on the nattinessof my appearance before Iwas married, and if there was one particular thing which I liked to have stylish itwas my umbrella. The best silk and finest frames were y good enough, and my umbrella was generally about as slim and nicely shaped asa cane; so much so, that Brown used to chaff me continually about its appearance, and say it was a bachelor’s umbrel being almost weather was evidently in a very sosrowful mood, for it just — all day long, something like ‘the cats and dogs which auntie always uses as a wimilie when it rains very hard. I had to leave the office a number of times during the day, and about two o'clock went to the bank to get a eheck cashed; and, of course, ng com omar this one, was.in t use. There was some dozen persogs w: ona line at the counter, and I bad towaitalso. Waitingthere inadamp Foom wasn’t very agreeable; but I just hung my umbrella on the edge of the counter till I had done, and just there I lost it, for when I the ash I hi —_— the umbrella, and lett the Dank without it. When I reached the street I missed it, and back I posted; but it wax gone—where, by whom taken, or how, I never found out; but hanging to the counter instead was an old dilapi look- ing thing, made of bluecotton. It was enough to make me shower left-handed blessings on the party who had made the excl ; but here, by the way, I might just as well observe that it was really a blessing to me, only in disguise. As the rain poured in torrents, I just made the best of the matter, and stalked into the street as apparently unconcerned as ible, me, the natty Thornton, as my chums called me, peram- bulating those strects where my said friends most dd congregate, and under a big cotton umbrella, large enongh to shelter a whole family of seven. Brown met me first. * Ab !” said he, “« got a family now—congrata- late you, my boy.”” And from him to the oftice,each and every friend I had, seemed to be in the street waiting to bail my appearance with a jest or a laugh. Contound it! I was almost mad enough to smash the old thing to pieces; but [ didn’t, for it rained too hard for any such foolishness. Several times during that afternoon, I vainly endeavored to borrow or steal another one; but it was of no use; and for home I started with it, into the same omnibus with Brown, who ce commenced at me with, “I say, old fel- jow, when did it take place?” Thinking innocence might extricate me from ‘this confounded chaffing. 1 asked, “ What take - pec » your beco! & married Benedict?” = Well, » for T still remain my own master, and am not compelied to be at home ev tat ten, or else suffer the dis- eordant din of a ee ‘This was intended for him, bat he shook it of easily, and gave it back with a vengeance. “Yes, but being as I are mightily put out about carrying an umbrella more ser viceable than ornamental; whereas I, being |, satisfy myself with what { have. ‘To philosopher you must get married, and who bea knows but what that same umbrella may come | im service then?” 1 escaped from him then, as I had reached the street I wanted to get out at; and leaving the omnibus, I elevated the umbrella te protect me from the pouring rain. At the corner, under a shop awning. stood two lovely damsels, evidently waiting for the rain to cease, tor they were with- Over sensitive § ‘ato I wer sensitive in my appearance, could not Le” notic! ag, the titer as they re- garded me. And, to tell the truth, there was somewhat of a contrast to laugh at. Imagine a fashionably dressed young man, rather r good looking, decidedly genteel, and over his head an enormous eld cotton umbrella, and you'll sce me as those girls saw me then. I was nettled, put ont, and wrathfal, but re- solved to check their mirth at all hazards. Step- ing up to them I said, ‘Ladies, my umbrella is ‘ge, and as I see you are without one, can I offer you my services as far as I go?” Mentally resolving that if thoy went further than me my umbrella should go too. After whispering for a moment, one of them replied, “ Thank you, sir; we would be obliged for your escort. ‘Of course, as we went_along I did my best to open a conversation, and son had the pleasure eliciting # few words from them. | They were doth very pretty; but the one called Bary 1 ‘Having reached the street in w! turned to Miss Mary and said: “<I live street, and as I seo are further, you are weleome to the use of the umbrella, for it is but a step to my residence. You can return it at your leisure. Good day.” nd leaving them with my umbrella, which I knew they would never return, for I purposely aid not gre them my sarees, Tran home, con- ulating myself at ha 50 pleasantly dis- Seca ot my pest. Somehow or other Mary's eyes were always in my mind, and J should almost have fergotten about the old ambrella if it were not for the re- membrance of her sweet face. Aftera while I came to the conclusion that I bad actually fallen in love with Mary; but who was Mary, and where to find her, I did not know. And then I began to wish I had given my address, that the umbrella might be returned to me. All this two! i How I wished for aglimpee of either you; but I did—awful! ptember I was down at my friend place, on the seacost, for a week or one day he and I were out Yishing in a yacht g a storm coming up, we thought we had better put into the bay until it cleared up again. ‘The sky in the west was already black the rushing clouds advancing up the zenit and ax we passed the Point,on our way in we noticed a boat containing some parties still fish- ing, pertectly unconscious of the rising storm, for the trees on the land obscured the western sky, and overhead was still clear. Wyndham tallied my attention te them. “Good gracious!” exclaimed I, “there's my umbrella [”" Where ?” said Wyndham. Why, there, in that boat, Wyndham,” said 1 must nee people in that beat, come what may.” And turning the yacht around, we sailed to- ward them. But we had to sail round a con- th He qt eet 8 F g i i i i Hl 5 i H i E 8 g al ee 7 3 e 8 + happening to glance up, I noticed on the rocks of The shore ry inevitable cotton umbrella ex- panded in all its glory. ‘That wapbrella haunted, me chen, au T pre saged e m its 5 e~ less, I went toward it'thinkingof coures that the wind and tide bad driven it ashore—which they had, butnet just there. re it lay, wide open, its top toward me; and when Lrexched it IL seized it by the projec- tion of the stick and lifted it toward me. By Jove! when I think of the result I always wonder how I got through it at all; for, as I Iited the umbrella, what was behind and under it was revealed; and there. comfortably seated cn the rock, was my Mary and a deuced good- looking young fellow. If I was astoanded, the were about as much surprised. Mary blushed, and looked at me as if to reproach me for such an nngentlemaniy action; while the young fel- low looked as if he was about to eat me up, and muttered, What d'ye ncan, sir.” “3 beg pardon, Miss Graham," I stammered. “ By seeing this umbrella, to which L have a slight claim, and not noticing its occupation by any one, of course I thought I was recovering a lost article of my own.” “Oh, then,” said Miss Mary, ‘“ you are the gentleman who lent us the umbrella so kind! some months ago in London’? Harry, this Jane’s and my escort. Don't you remember?” ‘This familiarity may have been pleasing to Harry, but “it by no means followed that it was to no; so I remarked, as coldly as possible, “Miss Graham, I again beg your pardon for the interruption; and as the umbrella is pleasant for your use, allow me the pleasure of transferring the ownership to you.” “Gentlemen,” she said, “allow me to intro- duce you to each other. ‘Mr. Thornton, this is my cousin, Mr. Harry Graham, brotler to the Page hed who was with me thatday.

I Did she not “accent” cousin thought she did, at least; and it made me take heart, and act more pleasantly; and in five min- utes i had the pleasnre of finding that thoi the young lady was on the freest terms with Graham, it was only on account of the relation- ship between them. : Hs © explain my appearance, ve the same excuse us Lhadto W yndham, and was forthwith put to work to make a sketch of the umbrella, and with them beneatlt it; which, of courge, I did, only wishing that Gi was in my place, and 1 in bis. After a while I noticed old Tim Hayes, the fisherman, launching his boat from pad goed foine off for an afternoon's fishing, and Gra- wm seeing the same, it suddenly struck him that he had promised to go with theold man that afternoon; so, begging the young lady’s leaye, he placed her once more under my escort. with the umbrella, and I need not tell you the result, for here comes Mary, aud she would be angry if she knew that I had been divulging our love affairs, even to tell the story of our old blue cotton umbrella. +2ee- Sunday in New Orleans. I was surprised at the appearance of the streets. Half the business places and all the saloons were open. The day seemed to be con- secrated to drinking-and amusement. In the neval appearance of things I could see no dif- ‘rence between Sunday and any other day ex- cept that there seems to be more gayety on the Sabbath. Isawno people going to church, either single or in crowds’ ‘The street care were fall, conve’ re to the fair grounds and to the at base ball match which came off to-day. Presently procession of little children came filing past, headed by a brass band. They were going to the fair grounds. Then another pro- cession and another band of music, playing the Uvliest tunes, marched past om their way to the base ball grounds. In an hour four different pro- cessions and bands of music Ped pened, allseek- ing places of amusement ina ’. “This isa gay city,” I remarked to afriend. _“* Yes, itis gayer on Sunday than any other time.”? “Whe g02” “Well, ail our principal amusements are on Sunday. It is our greatest day.

You are right about that,” he answered, in adifferent tone, fora cord been touched that bas a place in every human heart. Perhaps there is no city in America where the Sabbath is so regularly and systematically vio- lated as in New Orleans. And this desecration li is not contined to the lower classes, but by the refined and educated as well. Particularly are the young men addicted to Sabbath breaking, Fee, Bn ‘crowds to billiard-rooms, bar-rooms, it grounds, and, worst of all, to the so- called pleasure-gardens, where the flesh and the devil hold joint cinnati Commercial. A Singular Well. ‘The frozen well at Brandon, Vt., has recently been the subject of a report by a committee of the Boston Society of Natural History. Twelve years ago the attention of the Society was called to this curious well, which remains frozen throughout the summer months, and a commit- tee was appointed, which -continued each year for six years, to visit and examine the well and the surrounding, country, A report was then made and publ: , but in consequence of the predictions of an eminent man the ice would soon cease to form in the weil, 1t became neci to wait'a few years to collect further facts. now re- ports that for twelve years the ice has remained nthe Brandon well during the hot months of » that Brandon | summer, betwithstanding openings were made in the soil, and a tunnel was run into the gravel bed to give more free access to warm surface water. Tc has been suggested that the water dissolves something from the rocks that makesita freezing | mixture, but a chemical analysis shows that one | Wine gallon of this fluid contains 25.2 grains of solid matter, resolvable into 6.8 grains of veg- etable matter, and 18.4 grains of mineral salts. Ot the solid matter, 2.8 grains were found to be composed of bicarbonate of lime, magnesia and iron, and sulphate of soda with traces of chloride of calcium and sodium. There is, therefore, nothing in the composition of the water which will explain the freezing. Other persons, ar- ung from the theory that electricity produces ail, have assigned the action of the same in- fluence as the cause of the frozen well. Repeated tests with the magnetic needle failed to disclose any difference in local variation, thus showing that no perceptible electric current was passing through the well or surrounsing soll. J al explanation is therefore adhered to h mmittee. The gravel bed, it is believed, frozen by the cold of previous rigorous ters, and the wave of summer heat has not en able to overcome that cold. Brandon is situated in Rutland county, Vermont, and has the same latitude as the northern part of Lake George.

On the other hand, the peasantry labored in the fields, and their feet, from hi labor and heavy burdens, grew broad and flat. Life on the South- ern plantations before the war presented in —. respects the same features,as the times of feudal- ism; personal labor was considered a — tion, indolence was aristocratic, and, like the knights of old, the young men were constantly on back, @ similar physique. The Southern foot is small and high-arch , and Southern belles were wont to boast that water would run under their insteps. The experiment was often tried in boarding-school dormitories, to the discomfiture of Yankee maidens, who re- ven themselves by pointing to thelr high white forheads, with remark that they were not in the habits of car ‘ing their brains in their heels! The difference in size be- tween the Northern and ithern foot is, how- ever, only noticeable when comparing extreme a: such as Boston and New Orleans, maha and Charleston; the Middle-State cities, such as Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, New York, show the two varieties blended into acommon medium.

A foot can endure a narrow boot far better than a short one, for the additional length at the end gives room for expansion in the Lag vod ‘direction; and, to a cultivated eye, a long, slender foot is far more beautiful than a short broad one. The high heels now se much worn by ladies absolutely require an extra length in the boot.

Over a framework of strong cross wires, of about one-eighth of an inch thick, there is woven, by a powerful pressure, fibrous matter, which is saturated with a solution that renders it fireproof. It is then subjected to a very powerful pressure. A coating of light Scott's cement is then put upon it for Frside’ facing, and Portland cement tor outside facing. By this means surfaces are made impermeable to moisture, smooth, and easily washed with water; thus saving the pene of repeated lime-washings. It is formed e thick.

YOUNG AND RISING GENERATION ‘The vegetative powers of life are strong. but in» fow years how often the pallid hme, the lack lustre eye and emanciated form, and the impossibility of application to mental effort, show their bancful tn fuence. Tt soon becomes evident to the observer that come depressing influence is checking the de velopmentof the bedy. Consumption is talked of, and perhaps the youth is removed from school and sent into the country. This is one of the worst move mente. Removed from ordinary diversions of the ever-changing scence of the city, the powers of the body, too much enfaebled to give rer to healthful and rural exercise, thoughts are turned ioward!y Upon themselves. If the patient be ® female the approach of ¢ho menees ie looked for with anxiety as the first symp tom in which nature is to show her saving power in diffusing the circulation and visiting the check with the bloom of health. Alas! increase of appetite bas grown by what it fed on. The energies of the «ystem are prostrated, and the whole economy is deranged The beautiful and wonderful period in which body and mind undergo e fascinating @ change from ¢bild to woman, is looked for in vain, The parent's beart bleeds in anxiety, and fancies the grave but waiting for ite victim. HELMBOLD'S EXTRACT BUCHU FOB WEAKNESS ARISING FROM EXCESSES OB EARLY INDISCRETION, attended with the fellowing symptoms: Indi«posi tion to Bxertion, Loss of Power, Lone of Memory, Diffculty of Breathing, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nerves, Trembling, Dreadful Horror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wake- falnews, Dimpess of Vision, Languor, Universal Las situde of the Muscular System, Often Enormous Ap petite with Dyepeptic Symptoms. Hot Hands, Flush ing of the Body, Dryness of the Skin, Pallid Counte- nance and Eruptions on the Face, Pain inthe Back, Heaviness of the Eyelids, Frequently Black Spote Flying before the Eyes, with Temporary Suffasion and Lose of Sight, Want of Attention, Great Mobili ty, Bestlesnese, with Horror of Society. Nothing is ‘more desirable to such patients than Sulitade, and nothing they more dread, for fear ef themselves, no ‘no repose of Manner, no earnestDess, no epeculation, but o burried transition from one question to another. THESE SYMPTOMS, IF ALLOWED TO Go ON—WHICH THIS MEDICINE INVARIABLY BEMOVES—SOON FOLLOW LOSS OF POWER FATUITY AND EPILEPTIC FITS, IN ONE ©) WHICH THE PATIENT MAY EXPIRE. Daring the superintendence of Dr. Wilson at the Bioomingdslé Asylum, thig ead result occurred to two patients. Reason bad for s time left them, and both died of epilepey. They were of both sexes, and about twenty years of age. Who can say that these excesses are not {reynently followed by those direful diseases, Insanity and Consumption? The records of the Insane A«ylums, andthe melancholy deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness tothe truth of these assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears. The countenance is actually sodden and quite destitute; neither mirth nor grief ever visies it. Should a sound of the voice occur itis rarely ar- ticulate. “ With woful measures wan despair Low sullen sounds their grief beeuiled.”” While we regret the existence of the above dis- eases and symptoms, we are prepared to offer an in valuable gift of chemistry for the removal of the con sequences, HELMBOLD'S FLUID EXTRACT OF BUCHU. ‘There is no tonic like it. It is an anchor of hope to the physician and patient. This ie the testimony of all who have used or prescribed it. Beware of counterfeits and those cheap decoctions called Buchu, most of which are prepared by seif- styled doctors, from deleterious ingredients, and offered for sale 0&‘less price” and “larger bottles,’ ae. They are unreliable and frequently injurious. Ask for Heimbeid’s. Tubs mo other. ‘Price @1.%5 per bottle, or 6 bottles for @6.50. Delivered to any address, Describe = eymptoms in
