" We forgot everything, till, after a few minutes, we heard a fierce barking elcee behind us. There was Unole Seth's great black Newfoundland dog making fiercely after us, and the old man himself, not far off, retting him on. We both took to the tree at once, and in a minute were safe in its branohes. The old man laughed a little as he watched us, and looked as if this was just what he expected, He only said, ' Nutting Sundays is bad busincts, little boys,' and then walked away. Not so Towser; he understood his business, which was to keep us treed. After we saw Uncle Seth fairly at home, and seated on his front porth in full sight of us, we undertook to get down. But this deemed likely to be dangerous. Towser Was fieree art a lion, and we were afraid of him. We saw we were in a trap. Next we tried to make friends with the dog; but he understood his business, and was not to be tempted to betray it by us. He would frisk and play about for us while we sat still; but the moment we tried to get down he was ready to fly at us. AH that was now left wa« to wait for him to get tired. We had to wait a long time. Ho was a faithful fellow, but I fear I didn't admire his faithfulness much then. The morning worj to noon, and yet there we all Wdre —we in the tree, Towser at our feet, and the old man watobing us from his distant seat. lie did not go to church that morning. We could see all the people going up the churoh hill, so we amused ourselves watching them, and trying to make them out. But how guilty we felt, when we contrasted ourselves with the happy children walking along obediently with their parents! ■ What would our father and mother, think ? was tho thought that troubled us most. By-and-bv they all came out again, and then the bell rang for afternoon service, and still we were in our prison. Then wo grew hungry. We had eaten all the nuts We had in our pockets long before, but we could not reach any more—they grew too far out upon the boughs. Soon after church was in, in the afternoon, a troop of rude boys came along the road near us. Wa. knew they were a bad set of boys—notorious Sabbath-breakers. How we dreaded lest they should see us ; that would be the greatest disgrace of and had evidently been nutting. By good fortune, however, thoy did not spy us, but passed down a lane in the opposite direction. That was a relief, but we were almost in despair; for the sun sunk lower and lower, and there we were, prisoners, cold and hungry. No one came near ue, and Towser did not b)iow the least signs of giving out. " 1' inally, just as the sun was going down, we saw Uncle Seth come out of his gate, and walk over toward us. When he came under the tree he looked up, laughing just as he did at first, aod said,' Chestnutting on Sunday is bad business for little boys,' aud then he called off the dog. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribtine gives the following statement. We suppose it to bo substantially true, as wo have heard something like it reported in this region: -Ot Practical Brass Founder, Oh haste on the buttle—the sure-coming battle, Wnen victory shall perch on our hannors at last I A sign has been given—a promise from heaven— That davs of defeat? and disasters are past.

His estate, conMitiilg of thirty negroes and a plantation, tberito of which my informant did not state, wfcs involved in debt to the amount of ten thousand dollars. The widow judged'vit best to sell a portion of the land and negroes to pay the debt, but the foreman  the estate, himself a negro and a slave, advised her to another course. ' I wouldn't do dat, Missus/ said he; ' de toys won't like it to go down 8ouf, and if Missus giie us the chance, we'll raise a big crop "arid pay off the debt, and haVc it all clear % two or three years.

So was it thought in Shakespeare's time; and if we can no longer assign these natural beauty-spots to the exploded fairies, we may still maintain them to bo love tokens left by the kisses of the enamoured suu; the only kisses ever received, perchance, by their modest exhibitors (?) This photographic blazonry, this galaxy that decorates the roses of the cheek, and the lilies of the forehead, what are its enameling atan but relics of sunshine, soul-enlivening memorials of bright days, and of pleasant excursions with smiling companions beneath a smiling sky ? To prevent the printing of these celestial mementoes, by veils and parasols, is to suppress a delightful register of past enjoyments, as well as to lose a moralizing stimulant to gratitude; for what' damsel can fail to think of Heaven when' she traces its hand-writing npon her face ? Strange 1 that spots CDf court-plaster should once have been thought an ornament, and that the tiny circlets, stamped by the great circle of the sun, should ever have been considered unbecoming!

Tho car is provided with an apparatus whioh enables the aeronaut to ascend without either gas ballast, and to descend or go higher up at pleasure. This apparatus consists of a kind of stove formed by three cylinders, separated from oaoh other by insulating substances, whereby all danger of fire is averted, the flame is completely undor the control of the aerial traveler, and is prevented from rising too high by a cap of wire gauze. M. Godard asserts that he can inflate his balloon in thirty minutes, and load it with from 600 to 800 kilogrammes over and above the weight of his person and his accessories; and, moreover, that his balloon may be piereed with % bumshell without endangering the aeronaut, who can himself cast projectiles of any kind with im punity.

Pittaton, April 16, 1863.—ly National Hair Restorer! "Odd Sunday morning, when I was about nine, my brother Tom and I were straying round the door-yard, trying to pass the time till church time. It was rather hard work, for we had no Sunday school; but I believe we were tolerably good boys iu general. At any rate, we never had broken the Sabbath openly and publicly, though I fear we did not love it very much, for it was not made attractive. «It was a sunny day, after a white frost like this, and presently it occurred to me there would be lota of chestnuts down that morning. I said so to Tom, and asked him what harm there would be in just walking over to Uncle Seth's lot, (that was a wood lot, where there were three splendid old trees,) and to pick up a few. Tom agreed 'twas no worse than going to the orchard for apples, and father allowed us to do that. 80, after a' little debating, we concluded to go. We did not feel as bold as lions, as the righteous do. We said there was no harm in it, and yet we took pains to go out the back way, through the garden, whioh was out of our way. Uncle Seth didn't mind the chestnuts, we knew; he made all the boys free to get them; yet our hearts misgave us as we walked along, and we &!• most expcoted something to happen to us.

Could the youth, to whom the flavor of tho first wino is delirious as the opening seasons of life, or the entering upon some newly-discovered paradise, look into my desolation, and be made to understand what a dreary thing it is when he shall feel himself going down • precipice, with open eyes and a passive will, to his destruction, and have no power to stop it, and yet feel it all the way emanating from himself; toseeall tho godliness emptied out of him, and yet not able to forget a time when it was otherwise; to bear about the piteous spectacle of his own ruin; ooald he see my fevered eye, feverish with last night's drinking, and feverishly looking for to-night's repetition of the folly, eould he but feel the body of tho death out of whioh I cry hourly,with techier outory, to be delivered, it wore euough to make him dash the sparkling beverage to the earth, in all the pride of its mantling temptation." v NOETH EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA CORNER OF LLOYO I PRIME STREETS, BUFFALO, N.
