A Midnight Alarm. I live in the outskirts of the city, and as I have heard a good deal of late of house-break ing i'i various quarters, I make it a rule to see that all our doors and windows are properly fast . ened at night before retiring to rest. In addi tion to this I sleep in a room so situated that if any of the doors were attempted to be forced I would almost he sure to heai jthe noise. Two nights ago 1 awoke, I think it must have been about midnight, with the impression that some noise had broken my slumber. Al- j ter listening for a minute I heard a stealthy noise, as of someone using a wrenching instru ment against either a door or a window. I crept to my own room door, and soon ascertain ed that the noise proceeded not from the front, but Ihe basement, and could now hear, quite distinctly the cautious working of a chisel, ! as far as 1 could guess, against the lower door. I quickly put on my dressing gown, and j stole as gently as I could alon& the piissasge, ; to a point near the few steps which lead down to the basement, and from which I could 1 see the door, while I screened from observa tion myself. I say I could see the door, while in reality it was so pitch dark that I could see nothing, but I thought the robbers might probably have a light with them and that the position I had taken up was consequently the only sale one. 1 was determined to wait till the villians had partly effected their purpose, and were fairly inside the door, and then pouncing out upon them; deal as many blows as I could with a good stout stick I field in my hand, and make one of them at least, should there be more, a prisoner. 1 knew how coward ly such wretches generally are. and that one strong arm, coming unexpectedly upon them might put to flight a whole dozen. After some minutes, daring which the noise was repeated several times, butwithuot effect.. I heard them commence the regular working of a saw or file, I could not determine which. It was worked very cautiously discontinued al intervals, as if to allow time for listening. The ruffians, I thought, they have brought a sup ply of instruments, and are evidently determi ned to do their work ; but they will find me preparrd for them. At this moment I was startled with anew noise—the opennig of a door at my *ide. I looked round. A light streamed from the ser vant’s door, which was slowly opened and the girl appeared with a lighted candle in her hand. I, of course, thought she too had heard the noise which had disturbed me, and was a bout to alarm the household. I therefore motioned her to silence, when to my supprise. without appearing to notice me, she glided swiftly across the passage and. descending the stairs, stood at the door from which the noise had proceeded. I.now heard her whis per softly, while at the same time the deeper mumbling of a man’s voice came from the out- 1 side. Although I had remained quite cool hither to, the blood now almost froze in my veins, for this was a girl of whom we had all held a very high opinion, and up to tin's time would have trusted her with anything, anjl the idea of her thus concerting with robbers at the dead hour of the night horrified jine very much. After a few minutes she turiiicd round and began reascending the stairik. While she did so 1 was struck with the expression of her features. There was a rigidity about them more like death than life, und her eve, which was also quite fixed, had at the same time a wildness in it which almost made me shudder. When she reached the top of the stairs and just as she was about to walk a cross to her room, her eyes encountered mine, and then indeed I felt a shudder run through me with an intensity I never felt before, and I hope never to do again. It was not that there was anything menacing in their expres sion—that of course would have been nothing —but they first fixed upon me with a horrible, wild glazed look, and then the balls rolling suddenly up, quite out of sight, left nothing visible but the white. Before I was conscious what farther she did, she had disappeared, and I was again left in to tal darkness. I felt so strangely that 1 crept to a chair I knew to be standing near and sat down. I continued for a considerable time in a dozing state, unable to determine what to do or indeed scarcely able to think calmly on what had taken place. I was conscious that the noise at the basement door had again commenced, and that puzzled me very much, hut by and by it was gradually discontinued, and at length in the stillness of the night 1 tell into a deep sleep. When 1 next awoke it was broad daylight. My mother was stand ing beside me and asked me anxiously why I sat where I did. Behind her stood the girl, looking as I thought very guilty. As 1 did not care to accuse her without reflection I contented myself with merely asking if neith er had seen or heard anything during tiie night. The girl turned very pale, and said. ‘ I dreamed, sir. that 1 saw you during the night in the passage here, and just as you are only wilder and stranger looking.*’ ;i But,” I asked,” did you dream what you were doing in the passage'?” “ Yes,” she said,” 1 thought I went down to see the pig which mistress bought yesterday and ” While she was speaking I heard the noise of the night repeated, accompanied by a very audible grunt. “ What, -4 I excliiped. u have you put aj ig down underneath the stairs there ?” “ Yes said my mother. “ I forgot to tel! you of it last night.’ I burst into a loud laugh. The mystery was now solved. The wrenching operation has beeu performed by the pig thrusting his snout into some corner, the saw laid been at work when lie gave his back a grateful scratch, and the girl had played the somnambulist. Supposing this to be a true narrative, and not a mere figment of the imagination, the coincidence of pig, somnambulist back-scratch ing and the rest was droll enough. — Commer cial Advertiser. The Way to get Rich. The only way by which capital can increase ie by saving. If you spend as much as you get, you will never be richer than you are. It is not what a man gets, but what he saves, that constitutes his wealth. Go learn the first two rules ofarithmetic ; learn addition and subtrac tion ; add to your present capital any amount you please; subtract the sum which you add. and tell me if the last amount will not he the same as the first. Every merchant should, in every year of his life, make some addition to his capital. You say you get but a little; never mind, spend less than little, and then next year you will get more, for you will have the profit upon the sum you save. There is no royal road to wealth any more than to ge ometry. The man who goes on spending all he gets, and expects that by some lucky hit he shall be raised to wealth, will most likely sink into poverty, lor. in case of adverse fortune, he has then no resource, whereas, by economy he may lay by a stock that may serve as a provi sion in case of adversity. A man says the times are bad; that seasons are bad ; ttie laws are bad. Be it so ; but were the case reversed, it would make no difference to you Look at home ; you spend more than you get; how can you he otherwise than poor ? How many a respectable family have fallen from a high sta tion which they worthily and honorably tilled, because neither the gentleman nor lady had been familiar with the first lour rules ol arith metic. Had they known how to check the ac counts of their agents, their Mfcdesmen, and their servants ; had they known how to com pare their receipts and expenditures, and to see VOL. XXVI.—No. 32. which preponderated, all their difficulties might have been avoided. Avery - small acquain tance with the principles of commerce is suf ficient to teach that, if a man spends every year more than he recieves. lie will necessari y fall into poverty. — Hunt's .Merchant's Mag azine. Lightning. So long as lightning is occasioned merely by the action of two clouds one upon anoth er, not the slightest danger is apprehended. Thunder being only’ a report, is perf tiv harmless at all times. But wheu the elec in city comes within the attraction of the ear la, either by a cloud crossing over a lofty moun tain or sinking near the earth's surface, it pas ses dowin from the cloud to the earth, some times in a straight line of fire, sometimes roiling along like a large ball, clearing out of its way everthing that offers resistance to it: thus it will often tear up trees, set houses on fire, and even destroy animal life, should it impede its progress. This hall is a liquid in a state of lusiuii, and not (as has been supposed by soms persons unacquainted with the science) a nie talic substance called a thunderbolt. There are metalic substances sometimes precipitated from the air; these are termed terolites. and have nothing to do with the electricity of storms. As soon a- the clouds disperse, which is usually after a vivid flash of liirhtning and a very loud clap ot thunder, the rain desend*. the electrical power is destroyed, and tile storm ceases - —Although storms arise from what may be called the accidents of nature, they are ot great importance as an effort of nature, by which the atmosphere is cleared of all these impurities it imbibes from noxious va pors, and other sources; and hence despite their dangerous tendencies and the terrors to which they give rise, they are productive of much advantage.— Sharpe's Lomlon Maga zine. The Laziest Han. A worthy old citizen of Newport, who had the reputation o! being the laziest man alive. —so lazy, indeed that he used to weed the garden in a rocking chair, rocking forward to take hold ol the weed, and backward to uproot it—had a way offishing-peculiary his own. Ho used to drive las .vhiie-laeeu mare down to the spot where the tautog (blackfish) might be depended on forany weight from tvyo to twelve pounds—hack his gig down to the water, put out his line ami when the tautog was was salely hooked, start the old mare, and pull him out. Grapes Without Trimming. A correspondent of the Cultivator” makes the following observations on the subject of Grapes. The same views have been often advanced. Wlk> knows anything about it from trial of both modes? In travelling through the States of Mas sachusetts and Connecticut, a few years since. I was drawn to observe the quantities of grapes growing wild on vines that were climbing over the tops of the forest trees. Most of those which I tasted were of good quality, and they - grew in abundance, without any care whatever. I have often heard peo ple from the above-mentioned States speak of the excellent grapes that they used to gather trom vines on the forest trees. A few years since a friend of mine took the trouble to col lect a quantity of cuttings of the best varieties, which lie planted in bis garden. The vines when they grew were managed with much care, after the manner that Isabella and Cat awba vines are, on trellises. The conse quence was, very little fruit was produced, and that of a very poor quality.; and as be thought he had done his best, he at length came to the conclusion that it was the change of location that had mad - such a wonderful change in the fruit. It happened that a few tendrils from one of the vines came in contact with the projecting limb a ot plum tree, and in a short tune the shoots reached the top of the tree, and the next year the owner was gratified to see good fruit, of as good flavor as any lie had ev er tasted of the kind in their native place. In several instances I have known Isabella vines to run rampant over the tops of large trees, and they have never failed to produce large crop* of grapes every year, of better qualify than any that I have ever eaten grown ontrellised vines, and without any labor being expended. There is one vine now growing in this town, that produces more grapes than any other six that are managed in the ordinary way; and what I wish to suggest is this: Why cannot Isabella and Catawba grapes be raised to any extent throughout our whole country, on the tops of the scattering trees in the fields, and along the borders of woodlands and vvooddy ravines, without any labor being expended or required, except in planting the vines, and training them up a permanent post lor that purpose ? There should be three shoots fasten ed to the sides of the post, with loops ol leath er, until the beginning of March in tiie second year, at which time they should be reduced to one which is to make the trunk ol the vine. It should he protected while it is small with i stakes, to prevent injury by cattle or other I animals. The vine needs the support of the ! post until the tendrills obtain permanent hold of the limbs of the tree, and the body attains sufficient size to withstand any thing that may come against it. The vines should not lie set near the body of the tree, because the ground is already occupied by the roots of the tree — but directly under the extiemilics of the branches on the South side, where the vino will receive the warmth of the sun. If the soil isnotfirstrate.it should be taken away and replaced with at least one cart load of rich sods from the roadside which is much better than any highly manured soil ibr the vine or any fruit trees. Much has been written on the management of vines, with many precise rules for pruning, training, manuring. &c., which all amounts to nothing with farmers generally, who have no time to devote to such work. All that our native vines want is plen ty of space to extend over, and plenty of’ air and sun. all of which they receive perfectly if they are allowed to run over the tops of the trees. Another advantage in planting vines in the situations that I have described, is that they are rendered more lasting, and will pro duce fruit for several generations, judging from specimns that I have seen growing in different parts of our country, Writers com pute the age of the vine at two hundred years, and they liava been know to reach a much greater age; hence in planting a vine we are doing work that need not be repeated soon, in the same place if properly done. Boiling Fish, Ac., In Salt Water. Bacon hams are said to be better boiled in salt water, no doubt lor the reason that in a given time they are much better boiled. Ilaai require a long time in boiling. Sir Humphrey Davy tells us the reason why. vegetables, and fish should be plunged in boding salt and wa ter is, that this solution boils at a higher tem perature than plain water, and that the sudden scalding fixes the albumen, mucilage, and other nutritive parts of the viand, instead of being macerated and sodden, and so partly lost in lukkewarm water. — Farmers* Library. The Potato Crop. We seam that the potato crop in this vicinity has not yet suffered from the dts.ase which haa hitherto proved so fatal. But anotlier feature has developed itself.— That is, though the vines grow luxuriantly, in many in stances, there are no potatoes to be found, great or small. The yield is therefore extremely limited, but the quality is better than has been produced for several years past. From our exchanges we learn that through out the country, the crop is measureably free from dis ease this year! and there are hopes ilpu the crisis has passed, anti that the “potato will he restored to its pris tine excellence.”— Buffalo Commercivl Adrertisn.
