A STORY OF LEAP YEAR. a.rn Smith eat at home on a New Year’s day, in deshabile. His beard was unshaven, his bair uncombed, his long boots were un blacked, and he was leaning back in a pic turesque attitude, with his heels against the mantle-piece, smoking a segar. Sam thought to himself that as it was leap year, how glo rious it would be if tbe ladies would pop the question, in accordance with their ancient privileges. As he was watching the smoke which so graeefuHy curled, his fancy glowed with the idea, how delightful it would be to have the dear creatures fondling on him, and with their tender glances endeavoring to do the agreeable. As he meditated, his heart softened, and began to feel a squeamish, womanish sensi bility diffuse over his feelings,and he thought he would faint with propriety Hie first time a lady should squeeze his hand. Rap, rap, rap, sounded at the door. Sam peeped through the Venetian blinds. Mercy!’ exclaimed he, < if there isn't Miss Jones, and I all deshabile, and looking like a fright, good gracious. I must go right away and fix myself.* As he left the room, Miss Jones entered, and with a composed air intimated that she would wait. Miss Jones was a firm believ er in woman’s rights, and now that the sea son was propitious, she determined to take advantage thereof,, and do a little courting on her own hook. It was one of woman’s privileges, which had been usurped by the tyrant man, and she determined to :issert her rights, in spite of the hollow formalities of the false system of soebty. «Dearest, how beautiful you look,’ said she, accompanying the words with a glance of undisguised admiration'. Spare the blushes of a modest young iiian,’ said Sam, applying the cambric to liis face, to hide his confusion. «Nay, my love, why so coy ?’ said Susan,’ . turn not those lovely eyes, dark as jet, but sparkling as the diamond. Listen to the rest,’ Said she, drafting him to the sofa, , there with my arm around thee, will I protest my true affection.’ < Leave, oh, leave me!’ murmured Sam, < think of my yonth and inexperience—spare my palpitating heart.’ • Leave thee ?’ said Susan, pressing him closer to her,« never until the story of rest less nights, of unquiet days of aspiration, fond emotions and undying foVe is laid be fore thee. Know that for years I have nurs ed for thee a secret passion. Need I tell how each manly beauty moTed me, how 1 worshipped like a sun-flower in the lurid light of those raven tresses; how my fond heart was entrapped in the meshes of those magnificent whiskers; how I would yield to the government of that imperial; thy man ners so modest, so delicate, enchanted me— joy to me—for thy joy was my joy. My heart is forever thine—take it—but first let me snatch one kiss from those ruby lips.’ The overwhelming feelings of the delicate youth Weft fob strong, and be fainted from excess of joy. Meanwhile the enamored maiden hung fondly over him, and— Slowly the eyee of Samuel Smith opened; he gaxed wildly about him—then meeting the ardent gaze of his lover, he blushed deeply, and from behind his handkerchief faintly faltered out, < aek my ma f A Tile of Sidflrw A writer in the Springfield Republican, from the Worcester InsadbKetreat, mentions the following: There is a small pond in the garden. Jttst opposite the pond I saw a woman, humbly dressed, looking in rite water. 4< That poor woman,” Said the Doctor, has been here for several years She as sist* in the kitchen, and is less, although incurable. proceeded to mad forever, turned upon her beel, and with her fooe turned to the earth, walked slowly toward the' house. As she approached; the doctor called to her, aad dropping a low courtesy, she stood looking at ns. I have seen faces whoee melancholy ex- ’ pression might chin the blood like a keen east wind, aitd the power of sympathizing with them be very limited. But, of all that I have seen, not any have approacbed tbe one I now looked npon, in utter abscuce of all life's sunshine. Pale, ashy were her features; her Ups were hueless, and her eyes sunken; her lower jaw dropped almost upon her breast, and looked'like grief personified. « Poor creature,” exclaimed tbe doctor, << what wretchedness of mind is there depic ted !” «I never saw it equalled,” said I. « No wonder,” replied he. <. For five years a smile hits not played upon her fea tures, and, in my opinion, never will P' Playing tbe Piano, p.hiI how it is Done. The other evening we were at a party of a friend of ours, and amongst the lot was a gay Miss, who had just returned from board ing school, when after many solicitations and apologies, she seated herself at the pi ano, rockiDg to the right, then to the left, leaned forward, then backward, ami then began. She placed her right haud about midway the keys, and her left about two octaves below them. She now puts off the light to a brisk canter, upon the treble notes, and her left after it. The left then led the way back, and right pursued it in like manner. The right turned and repeat ed its movement, but the left outrun it this time ; hopped over it and flung it entirely off the track. It came in again, hofteVer, behind the left, on its return, and passed it in the same style. They now became highly incensed at each other, and met lurionsly on the middle ground. Here a most awlul conflict ensued for a short space, when the right whipped off all of a sudden, as we thought fairly vanquished ; but we were in error in what- Jack Randolph cautions us— it had only—« fallen back to a stronger po sition.’ It bad mounted up two back keys, and commenced the note of a rattle snake. This had a wonderful effect ujk.u the left, and placed the doctrine of snake-charming beyond dispute. The left rushed towards it repeatedly, but seemed invariably panic- struck when it came within six keys of it, and as invariably retired with a tremendous roar down the bass keys; continued its as saults, sometimes by a zig-zag movement, bnt all its attempts to dislodge the right from its strong hold proved ineffectual; it came close up to its adversary ami expired. Any one, or rather no one, can imagine what kind of noises the piano made during the conflict. Certain it is, that no one can describe them, and therefore we shall not attempt it. The battle ended, Miss Jane moved as though she would have risen, but this was protested against by a number of voices at once. «0ne song, my dear Jane, you must sing tliat sweet little French air you used to sing, and which Madame Pig- gisqueaki is so fond of.’ Miss Janc looked pitiful at her mamma, and her mamma look- el «sing it; Miss Jandaccordingly she squared herself for a song. She brought her hands into a capus this time in fine style, and they seemed to be perfectly reconciled to each other; then commenced a kind of col loquy;—the right whispering treble very sadly, and left responding bass very loudly. The conference liad been kept np until we began to desire a change upon the subject, when our ears caught, indistinctly, some very curious sounds, which appeared to pro ceed from the lips of Miss Jane; they seemed to be compound of a dry cough, a grant, a hiccough, it appeared to us as in terpreters between the right and left. Things had progressed in this way for about 15 se conds, when we happened to direct our at tention to Mr. K. His eyes were closed, his head swung gracefully from side to side, a h«»m of heavenly complacency rested on his countenance, and his whole man gave irre sistible demonstrations that Miss Jane s mu sic had made him feel -good all over. We resolved from this contemplation of Mr. B’s. transport, to see whether we could extract from the performance anything intelligible, when Miss Jane mfide a fly eatehidg grab at a half dozen keys in a row, and the same she fetched a long dong hill cock the conclusion of which she grap- my keyes with the left. This and over us crocodile In Java, is given by an eye wit ness: It was-one morning that I stood beside a rinaTl bake, led by one of the rills from the mountains. The waters were clear as crys tal and every thing could be seen from the very bottom. Stretching its limbs clone over this pond, was a gigantic teak tree, and in its thick, shining evergreen leaves, lay a huge boa, in an easy coil, taking liis morn ing nap. Above him was a powerful ape of the baboon species, a leering race of scamps, always bent on mischief. Now the ape from his position, saw a crocodile in the water rising to the toys ex actly beneath the coil of the serpent. Quiek as thought he jumj>cd plump upon tlic snake, which fell with a splash into the jaws of the crocodile. The ape saved himself by cling ing to a limb of the tree, but a battle royal I immediately commenced in the water. The aprpent grasped in the middle by the croco dile, made tbe water boil by his furious con tortions. Winding his fold round the body of his antagonist, he disabled his two hinder legs, and, by his contractions, made the scales and bones of the monster crack. The water was speedily tinged with the blood of both combatants, yet neither was disposed to yield. They rolled over and over, neither being able tc obtaines a decid ed advantage. All this time the cause of mischief was in a statu of the highest ecsta- cy. He leaped up and down the branches of the tree, came several times close to the scene of the fight, shook the limbs of the tree, uttered a yell, and again frisked about. At the end of ten minutes a silence Itcgan to come over the scene. The folds of tlie ser pent began to be relaxed, and though they were trembling along the back the head huug lifeless in the water. The crocodile also was still, and though ouly the spine was visible, it was evident that he too - Was dead. The monkey now perched himself on the lower limbs of the tree close to the dead bodies, and amused himself for ten minutes in making all sorts of faces at them. This seemed to be adding insult to injury. One of my companions was standing at a short distance, and taking a stone from the edge of the lake, hurled it at the ape. lie was totally unprepared, and as it struck him on the side of the head, he was instantly tipped over, and fell upon the crocodile. A few bounds, however, brought him ashore, and taking to the tree, he speedily disappeared among the thick branch- £omt (Situation.

A school teacher who lias been engaged a long time in lrs profession, and witnessed the influence of a newspaper upon the lumils of a family of children writes to the editor of the Ogdensburg Sentinel as follows: I have found it to be an universal fact, without exception, that those scholars of both sexes, and of all ages, who have liad access to newspapers at home, when com pared with those who have nut, are— 1. Better readers, excelling in pronuncia tion and emphasis, and consequently read more understandingly. 2. They are better spellers, and define words with greater ease and fluency. 3. They obtain a practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it requires others, as the newspapers has made them fa miliar With the location of the important places, nations, their governments, and do ings on the globe. 4. They are better grammarians, for hav ing become so familiar with every variety of style in a newspaper, from the common place advertisements to the finished and classical creation of the statesman, they more readily comprehend the meaning of the text, and consequently analyze its construction with accuracy. 5. They write better compositions, using better language, containing more thoughts more clearly and connectedly expressed. 6. Those young men who have for years been readers of the newspapers, are always taking the lead in the debating society, ex hibiting a more extensive knowledge upon a greater variety of subjects, and expressing their views with greater fluency, clearness and correctness in the use of language.

Why is rain-water soft? Because it is not impregnated with earths and minerals. Why is it more easy to wash* with soft water than with hard ? Because soft water unites freely with soap, and dissolves it, in stead of decomposing it, as bard water does. Why do wood ashes make hard water soft? Because the carbonic acid of wood ashes combines with the sulphate of lime in the hard water, and converts it into chalk. Wood ashes convert some of the solnable, salts of water into insoluable, and throw them dowa as sediment, by which water contains more parts. Why has rain-water such an unpleasant smell, when collected in a rain water tub or tank? Because it is impregnated with de composed organic matters, washed from roots, trees or the cask in which it is col lected. Why dues water melt salt ? Because very minute particles of water insinuate them selves into the pores of the salt by capillary attraction and force the crystals apart from each other. How d«»es blowing hot food make it cool ? It causes the air which has been heated by the food to change more rapidly, and gives place to fresh cold air. Why do ladies fan in liot weather ? That fresh particles of air may be brought in con tact with their faces by the motion of the fan; and os every fresh particle of air ab sorbs sente heat from the skin, this constant change makes them cool. Does a fan cool the air ? No; it makes the air hatter, by imparting it to the heat of our face; but it cools our face, by transfer ring its beat to the air. Why is there a strong draught through the key-hole of a door ? Because the air in the room we occupy is warmer than the air from the hall, therefore the air from the hall rushes through the key-hole into the room, and causes a draught.—Spirit of the Tunes. “Urn* k This is the cry at indifferent* aad huloleaoe.

We moot try often, and try with increased resolutions to succeed. Failure seemes hut to dia.iip.lfqp pbe strong; only the weak are overwhelmed by it. Difficulties draw forth the bept energies of a man. They reveal to him his strength, and train him to the^exeraise of his hqbleet powers. Difficulties try his patience, jup energy, and his working faculties. They test the strength of his purpose, and the force of his will •• Is there a man,” says John Hunter, « whom difficulties Jo not dis hearten, who takes them by the throat _and grapples with them? That kind of man never fails.” John Hunter himself, origin; ally a working carpenter, was precisely a man of that sort; and from making datura On weekly wages, he rose to be the first surgeon and physiologist of his time. Despising Household Duties.—From a variety of causes, nothing is more oommqn than to find American woman who have' not the slightest idea of household duties. A writer thus alludes to .this subject:' In the neglect ofhoushold Cares Amer ican woman stand alone. A German lady, no matter how lofty her.rank, never forgets that domestic labors conduce to the health of body and mind alike. , An English lady, whether she be only a gentleman's wifo or a duke's docs .not despise the household,, and even though she has a housekeeper, devotes a portion of her time to this, her true, her happiest sphere. II is reserved for our republican fine ladies to be more choice than even their monarchical and aristocratic sis ters. The result is a lassitude of mind of ten as fetal to health as the neglect of bodi ly exercise. The wife who leaves her house hold cares to the servants pays the penalty which has been affixed to idleness since the foundation of the world, and other wilts away from ennui, or is driven into all sorts of fashionable follies to find employment for her mind.” The Bectflrin of Life. are persons in the world who, in themselves from the charge extravannee and follr. trv to do it under Artesian Wells. A correspondent asks us, says the Phila delphia Bulletin, what is the principle of the Artesian wells ? He says that he often reads of boring for water through solid rock, but cannot understand by what agen cy the water when reached, is forced to the surface. Has our correspondent ever passed through a railroad cutting ? If so, he has probably noticed that the rock does not lie horizontal ly ; but at an angle; in other words, it dips more or less, to use a term of the geologist. Now a strata of rock will sometimes extend for scores, even hundreds of miles, dipping in this way before it finally turns again, and ire-appeare at the surface, even whan it does so turn, which is not. always. Such a strata forms a large dish, as it were. . If our correspondent will imagine a region of country, lying within such a strata; and if he will further imagine this district to be so rocky that water will not collect in it, but run off—in this case he will have all tbe ingredients for a country of Artesian wells, provided there is the additional eir camstance, that outside this strata, or, to carry out the simile, under the dish, the soil is gravelly or Bandy. For, in such a ease, the water from rain will sink into the ground and pass under the strata. There it will remain until the rock is bored through when it will rise, of course, to the surface. This is what an Artesian well is. Any person may make an Artesian well on a small scale, by taking a common tin hand basin, and inserting it in a bed of earth which is itself contained in a larger vessel; thed pouring water upon the earth between the basin and vessel in which it is placed, and the earth is completely satu rated, perforating the bottom of the basin; for in this event, the water will rise in a jet to the top of the basin or the level of the earth. In this rude experiment, the till, Of which the basin is mdde, roughly represents one strata of the rock, and the larger vessel another strata, while tlic earthy matter stands for the gravel sand; or prfvioiis rbdt TteCufctTfiUi, kf.
