Kate is five feet fbur Inches in height, and I'm two inches taller; Kate's figure is rather pi amp, and mine is inclined to be stout; Kate's teeth are called faultless. My ivories are not exactly faultless, but I never found any fault*with them when Mrs. Lunch, our landlady, had roastJa#ef for dinner; Kate Lea's bair waa black and mine was brown, but thers waa Prof. Wood's (not Fernando'*) hair dye—that would do it. Everything was in veadiness, and quickly disrobing myself I thrust a hoop skirt over my symmetrical limbs. Now, I never undertook such n job before, and you ftiiftt imagine the (rouble I had iu arranging the article to my satisfaction. It didii't hang gracefully; .one side looked likfc an inflated balloon, and the other resembled a bag of mashad turnips. One of the r»be was broken, two rivets were cut, and the top jvas Id such a vacillating condition as to endanger the gravity of the bottom. After tying a pillow tu the lesser part and splicing the ribs as best I could, 1 came to the conelusion that my Falstaffian rotundity was about right all around. I next draped myself in a "shilling de laine," pulled on a puir of flesh-oolored stockings, squeezed my fcetinto a couple of Kate's largest sized and then prepared to dye my huit andljebrows. XWt nearly blinding myself and staining my scalp horribly, T al last had tho satisfaction of perceiving thai my beautiful cbestuut ringlets bad chatigcc to a splendid charcoal black. I had jju ou all the apparel I bad ever heard of i woman wearing, and yet my uiake up didn' appear complete. Something was wanting —what was it ? 1 put my hand upon mj bead, but felt everything there that eve adorned a female cranium. In reuiovinf my hand it acoidontully touched my bosom or to speak astronomically, " the milki way," which sunk iu greatly upon a ver moderate pressure:-' 1 immediately caun to the conclusion that something uvrswant had bio carriage at the door. Now as I am a staunch democrat, and the system of "backing out" being entirely new to me, I pot on asmiling face, and made up my mind to go the "whole hog or none !" Accordingly, begging Mr. Grafton to excuse me fbr a few moments whiTe I put on my "bootees," I waddled out of the room in a clumsy imitation of Kate's gait. ' i * ** Kate W« roe on the stairs, and laughingly placed a lady's bonnet on my head~» snid bonnet looked wonderfblly like an inverted! «Cnfp bowl. J soon returned to my lover, and timidly giving him my arm we entered tho carriage. f We had gone about four blocks, When my companion Sslted me if I had any objection to his smoking a cigar, (/have any objections?) I told him nbf and Was about to add that I had no objections to keep him company, bnt suddenly recollecting that that wonld be very unladylike, I unwillingly held nDy peabe. As he took hi* segar case from his pookot something fell in the bottom of the carriage. Unobserved 1 picked it ap—'twas a paper of chewing tobacco. Unthinkingly J. placed about half the package in my mouth, aiid began to salivate freely. Charley had by this time lit his segar, and was puffing away contentedly, when splash came a miniature brook of tobaccojuice on his new patent leathers. "Thunder!" exclaimed he, looking at me wildly, "what means this f" "Dear Charles," squeaked 1, in • feminine style, f'l've got the toothache, and tobacco does relieve me so 1" . . Charley Grafton looked at me doubtingly, but allowed mc to wipe my mouth ou his coat-tail, with a lover's kindness. In about an hour more wo reached Jones' wood. Charley proposed a ramble in the Woods. I objected, with true feminine delicacy, but was finally persuaded—as females generally are—by my ardent admirer. • Bock Oil. i I . • r"- • .?••»»; I JFhereis nothing in the industrial world at the present time more remarkable than tbe production of petroleum. That great lakes of this valuable substance «Wd have lain a few feet beneath tbe surface undiscovered fat thousands of years, is one among innumerable proof's that the intelligence of utilisation 16 fequiredto enable man to bring to light and render available the natural resources ot tlte planet Whioh we inhabit. One very curious circumstance in the development of this industry was the tardiness of even our enterprising community to direct their attention to it after it was discovered. In 1826 an aocount of tho Little Muskitfgum region, of Ohio was publish'din Sillitttan's Journal,\o which the statement was made that in boring for salt wator vast quantities of petroleum was obtained, which was beginning to be in demand for lamps in workshops and manufactories. The writer says :—" It affords a clear, brisk light when burnt in this way, and will bo a valuable article for lighting the streets in the future cities of Ohio." Though this account was published in 182G, the discovery was made in 1819, and yet this mine of wealth suffered to lie unappropriated in the heart of this country Cbr thirty-ffve yearis. Attention Was again called to it by the success of the coal oil manufacture, and in 1854 two gentlemen in New York, Messrs. Evoleth and Bissell, sccurcd tfac right to the upper spring on oil Creek, in Pennsylvania, and organized a company to search for tbe oil. The operations were slow, and the first oil vfras struck at & depth of 71 feet, on tho 26th of August, 1850. The drill suddenly dropped into a cjfity, and oil rose Within five inches of the surface. A pump being introduced the company were soon in the reoeipt of one thousand gallons of oil per day. A Fast Story. An Englishman Was bragging of the speed on English railroads to a Yankee traveler seated at his side in one of the cars of a "fast" train" in England. The Engine bell was rung as the train neared a station. It suggested to the Yankee an opportunity of "taking down his Companion apeg or. two." " "mjat'a thfct 7" innocently inquired lid Yankee.

We runso'tarnal fast that tbe train always keeps ahead of the sound.

Finally we had to station electric telegraphs along the road, with signal men to telegraph wheft the traiq was in sight ; and, I have heard that some of the fast trains beat the lightning fifteen minutes every fourth mile.— But I can't say as that is true ; the rest I know to be so/' &CD| &CC| &CD) No. 101 West Street, JOHN RICHARDS,—ATTORNEY AT LAW.

'i, This success crcated an intense eicitement in the neighborhood, and boring ior oil became the great business of the community. The petroleum was found not only along Oil Creek, but in numerous other localities, extending from Virginia to Canada West, and the supply has increased so rapidly as to bring the article down to a very low price, and to make it a great stople for domestic use and for export. The Erie railroad has a large number of cars dovoted exclusively to its transportation, its pungent and peculiar odor rendering the cars thus employed unfit for other uses. At the depot of tho company io Hobokeo thousands of barrels may at any time be seen on their way to this city either for export of distribution.

The article says that in a stable where cow* were given maize infested with this partisite, eleven abortions occurred within eight days, when, the cause being suspected  the food changed, no further case happened. The author of the discovery then, to assure himself of the Supposed fact, driei and pulverised some of tne fungi, and administered six drachms of the powder 16 two bitch dogs heavy with pop, and ab«¥- tion was produced in eaoh. This statement should be studied and carefully investigated by stock keepers in the United StatM, and toore attention be bestowed by them upon the feed of breeding animals, aa it if very possible that many otherwise unaccountable cases of slunk caftes can be at* tributedi to diseased corn.

Hoys, Hartford Co., Conn., says the cheapest and nipst effectual remedy for the striped bug, is to cover the plants with cotton, thus : Take the common cotton batting, separate it into very thin layers, and spread over the plants as soon as they appear, putting a little dirt on each corner to prevent the wind from blowing it off.

If thinly spread the cotton does not interfere with light and moisture, while it cntaugles the insects. H.
