A brother writes to me that when he waB a youili bis father said to him one day : "Levi, can you make tip jour miud to live at home and be a farmer?" " I would rather be a tanner than a farmer," replied Levi. - *' Very well," responded his father, who was willing to let Levi follow bia own tastes, as he was now seventeen years old ; " very well my son, I will try and find a place for you." Very shortly after a place was found for Master Levi with a good Quaker. When the youth prt-SfDled himself at-thetannery, the honest Quaker f^aid: " Levi, if thee will be a good boy, I will do well by thee; if not, I nill send the home again. All the bargain I will make with thee is, that thee shall do as well by me as I do by thee." " Very well, sir," said Levi, "I will try what I can do." Levi now went to work with a hearty good nllt. H« worked hard, read his bible, was steady, honest and good natured. The Qua¬ ker liked him. He liked the Quaker. Hence the Quaker was satisfied. Levi was happy, and the years of his apprenticeship passed pleasantly away. Jact before Levi became of age, his master said to him: " Levi, I think of makiug thee a nice pres¬ ent when thy time is out " Levi smiled very pleasantly at this scrap of news, and said ''I shall be very happy to receive any gift you may pleaie to make met sir." Then the Quaker looked knowingly at Levi and added, " I cannot tell thee now what the present is to be, but it shall be worth more than a thousand dollars to thee," "More than a thousand dollars !" said Levi tp himself, hia nyos sparkling at the bare thought of such a costly gift. " What can it be ?" I wonder if he means to Offer me his daughter for a wife ? That can't be, because I have heard it said that a good wife is better than ten or twenty thousand dollars. Ko, it can't be his daughter. But what can it be?" That was the puzzeliog qaestion that buz¬ zed about like a bee in Levi's brain from that time until the day before he waa of age.— On that day the Quaker said to htm : " Levi, thy time is out to-morrow; bat I will take thee and thy present home to-day.'> Levi breathed freely on hearing those ^ords. pressing himself in his best euit, he soon Joined the Quaker, but oonld see nothr ing that looked like a gift worth over a thous¬ and dollars. Ue puzzled himself about it all ihe way, and said to himself, ''Perhaps the Quaker has forgotten it." At last they reached Levi's home.—After he had been greeted by bis friends, the Qua¬ ker turned to him and said: "Levi, I will give thy present to thy father.'' "As you please air," replied Levi, now on the very tiptoe of expectation. "Well," said the Quaker, speaking to l4evi's father, " your son is the best boy I ever had.'' Then turning to Levi, be added, " This is thy present, Levi—A good name." Levi blushed; perhaps he felt a little dis¬ appointed because his golden visions were thus so suddenly spirited away. But hia sensible father was delighted, and said to the Quaker who was smiling a little waggishly: " I would rather hear you say that of my son, sir, than to see you give him all the money you are worth; for ' A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.' " Levi's father was right, and the Quaker was a wise man. 1 have no doubt that Levi's good name did him more good than a barrel fall of golden eagles could have done. It proved bim to be owner of a good character, which is worth more than all the gold, pearls, diamonds and precious stones in the WQrld. What do you think of the honest Quaker's gift my child? Was it not a precious thing? I hope you deserve the same gift from your parents, teachers and friends. But mark me! A good name is the fruit of a good character. If you are wicked, your name is not good — Hence if yon want a good name, you must ask Jesns to give yon a good heart. " Ai near as I can remember, it was fifteen years ago this last winter that I attended a dancing school in Detroit, with a young lady then residing in the city. I had made up my mind some years ago that I woald never get married, but it was snoh a pleasant business I couldn't find it in my heart to let the girl alone, so I paid her tuition fee, and attended thb class in her company every night. About the middle of the term, several young peo¬ ple, ourselves included, were talking in the ball-room on the subject of matrimony, and I, of course, beoame interested ai^i^tl as the others. On going home that evening I told my companion that I had determined to get married in the spring, and asked her advice in making a selection for a wife. She made no reply for a moment, and I told her if she did not know anybody better iltted for me I would like to have her think the matterover, and'tell me by the last of the school what she thought of marrying mw heruelf. I was joking all the time, you must uuderatand^ and had no more thought of m»rryiug bnr than I now have of marrying Queen Viutoria. She promised to think of it, Imwover, and I returned to my boarding bouse, and gave the subject no farther thought until some weeks later—and as luck would have it, on th« last evening of the school, the subject waa again brought np in the converiatioo, just as we were preparing to return to our home, for the night. After leaving the hall, we talked and chatted of different matters, and on different subjects, till we reached her residence. It wa5 late and I did not enter the house though she strongly urged me to do so. I had bid her good night and was turning away, when I happened to recollect the promise she had made to me, and I said: ' Helen you promised to let me kn»*w to¬ night whether you would marry me this spring. Have yon made up your mind ?" " Yes," said she, " I have been thinking about it, but I guess that I am a little too young. If it was'nt for that I would have no objection." "Well, good night then," said I, "I didn't expect you would do it—but I'm boumi to marry some one, and this sjtri'ig too." Before leaving her I engaged to call the following evening. That night I slept sound¬ ly, and the next morning had forgotten all about my night's adventure. During .the day I received an iuvitation to attend a ball to be held that evening a few milei out of the city, and I made arrangemuntf aooording- ly. Towards dusk I remembered my agree¬ ment to see Helen, and I thought that I would run over a moment, and afterwards have time to attend the ball. Arrived at the hou^e, I met the lady in the doorway, and I thought .for an instant that she was "rigged np " in extra style, which I was at a loss to account fur, though I believe I concluded that she had company, and I was therefore in hope that I should not be detain¬ ed long. Helen welcomed me into the parlor with a sweet imile, and took her seat beside me on the sofa. I was expecting every mo¬ ment to see some stranger enter the roomt and I had not yet become satisfied that we wore alone, wlien she said— "Henry, I have made up my mind to mar¬ ry yon." " Had a thunder clap struck me I oonld not have been more surprised; and after an instant of hesitation I stammered out— "What did yon say?" " I have conclnded to marry you." " Q-oh you have I Well, I suppose it's all right; when shall the event take place ?" " I thought, if it would suit you, that you might drive around next Sunday, and we will go to mother's at Dearborn, and be married there!" "Well," said I. "I'll see if I can," and as soon as possible I took my leave. I didn't go to the ball that night—I forgot ^U about it and sat over the stove till morn¬ ing, thinking of what a scrape I got myself into. I even forgot to keep the iire going, and almost froze in my seat. When daylight be¬ gan to peep in at the windows I had made up my mind what I would do. I would go over and tell Helen that we must be married imme¬ diately, or not at all; and if she agreed to that, I saw no other way than to submit to my fate, 'When I entered the gate, leading up to her hotise, I heard her singing a lively sour, and my conscience almost smote me for deceiving the poor girl as I had ; but I summoned np courage to ring the bell, and pulling up my collar and throwing my head back, I anxious¬ ly awaited an answer to my summons. She soon came to the door, and I was again shown into the parlor as before. " Helen," I commenced, " I "Well, what?" "I—I—we must be married to-day, or I— I—don't think that I shall be able to be mar¬ ried at all I" " Well, just as you please, Henry, you may drive around about twelve o'clock and I will be ready." I gave up I I drove np with my carriage, and before night we were married. And that wife has been worth $100,000 to me !—Detroit Advertiser. TiiK Best Method op Stoeiso and Pbeserv- IKQ Potatoes Ddbino thb Wihtkr.—W. Frank- land, Esq., said he considered that very mnoh depends on the state the potatoes are in when taken up. As regards his own, this year, they had been partially attacked with the disease, and lui thought at one time they were going to^ very bad; hut they have tamed out much better than he expected.— Those diseased he sorts out as he takes them up. He then thinly spreads the good in his out-house, when they are taken np wet; but this year they are so dry and clear that be has laid them much thioker. He lets them lie ten days or a fortnight to sweat, and then sorts them into three sorts, marketable, for sets, and the bad and small for pigs, &o. In about another fortnight he stores them in piles ill the field, as by keepinf; in the house all the wiutur they are apt to shrivel, and do not look so blooming in the spring. Mr- Geo. Welburn. of Eylingdalea, said that he sorts his in the same way as Mr. Frankland, and sprwads them accordingly ; he has an out-house on purpose for storing for the winter, and therefore never makes piles in the flald. As soon as bet hinks they are fit to put by, he stores them in hia'potato- house, and covers them with straw «nd dry soda. He takes partioular care of his sods from year to year, always prt^serving them from wet. By these means, living as he does near the fiahlng town of Bobin Hood's Bay, which he aappliM all the winter, he can get easily at them at all times, whether trost or snow, which he could not were they in piles in the fields. Mr. T. Ward, of Bannial Fiat,*said be does the same as Mr. Frankland as far aa he has room in hia out houses ; but as he grows a large quantity be cannot take, perhaps, such minute pains and care of them. He causes them all to bo sorted aa they take them up, and leaves all the diaeased and bad ones on the land, and then turns his pigs in to eat them. He.first puts the good in small heaps in a field, and covers them with straw, and lets them lie in tbl* way about a fortnight to sweat; he then has them properly sorted, and stores them in piles in the fields for the winter. He thinks Mr, Welburn's plan good one, where there is a proper storing house- Mr. E. Ormeaton, of Struggleton, said that he puts all his potatoes in the house the same as Mr. Welburn. He is very particular in sorting them, as he beliaves that the diseased potatoes infect the good ; but in a few weeks after they have been taken up an 1 sweated, they may then be stored for the winter, he having houses for the purpose. All the other members present concurred -in the opinion that potatoes must be allowed time to sweat before they are stored away for the winter, and the diseased regularly sorted from the good, as there is no doubt of the disease being contagions.—Mark Lan* Ex- pre$i. Dobs One's Stylb op Walkiho indicate nis CiiABACTSRf^ProfessorFowler says that those whodu motions are awkward, yet easy, possess much efficiency aud poaitiveueas of character, yet lack polish : and jast in proportion as they become refined in minri, wilt their mnile of carriage be correspondingly improved. A short aud quick step indicates a brisk aud active, but rather contracted mind, wlmreas those who take long steps, generally have long beads ; yet if their steps be slow, they will make comparatively little progress, while those whose step is long and quick, will ac¬ complish proportionately much, and pass most of thttir competitors on the highway of life. Their heads and plans, too, will partake of the same far reaching character evinced in their carriage. Those who sluf or, draw their heels, drag and drawl in everything; while those who walk with a springing, bounding step, abound in a mental snap and spring. Those whose walk is mincing, affect¬ ed and artificial, rarely, if ever, accomplish much; whereas those who walk carelessly, that is, naturally, are juat what they appear to be, and put on nothing for outside show. Those who in walking, roll from side to side, lack directness of oharacter, and side every way, according to circumstances, whereas those who take a bee line—that Is, whose body moves neither to the right nor left, but atraight forward—have a corresponding di¬ rectness of purpose, and oneness of character! those also who teeter up and down when they walk, rising an inch or two every step, will have many corresponding ups and downs in life, because of their irregularity of character and feeling. Those, too, who make a great ado in walking, will make much needless parade in everything else, and hence spend a' great amount of useless steam in all they undertake, yet accomplish little; whereas those who walk easily, or expend little strength walking, will aooomplish great re snlts with a little strength, both mentally and physically. In short, every individual has his own peculiar mode of moving, which exactly accords with his montal oharacter; so that, so far as yon can sue suoh modes, you can decipher such outline of character. Colic in Hor3B3.—Years ago, before noae- bags were adopted, colic waa more common than at the present day. In those days hor¬ ses went out to work early in the morning and did not retnrn until night, during whioh time, " owing to the want of some conveni¬ ent mode of supplying them with food when out," they partook of none. The oonseqaence was they returned home with tbeirvitsl pow¬ ers exhausted by work, aud with keen appe¬ tites, bearing no relation to the capacity of 4he stomach or to the digestive powers ; with avidity they swallowed the food then placed before them; it then entered the stomaoh not sufficiently insallTated or masticated, rendering it impossible for the gastric juices to act on it—it Is a physiological faot that, if food is not properly saturated with saliva in the mouth it Is with great difficulty that chemical action necessary to digestion is set Qp in the stomach—and colic was the result. o remedy this evil, Professor Coleman suggested the use of the nosebag, in order that the horse, when standing during the loading or unloading of the vehicle to which he was yoked, might partake of food. The nosebag being generally adopted, cases of colic became rare, and happily continue so. The horse has a very small stomaoh when compared with the rest of the alimentary canal, which is quickly emptied, and there¬ fore requires to be frequenly supplied with food. Prom the above remarks, we learn that it is better to supply animals with a small quantity of food two or three times a day, in preference to a large quantity at one time. This plan I have proved over and over again to be a good practice; but, with all our care (sometimes owing to the exhibition of an inproper quantity of deteriorated food, as bran, turnips, &o., or to a draught of cold water when the animal is heated—rarely, however, causing this disease unless in co¬ operation with other agents, as the effects of water are but transitory without them), some animals have periodical attacks. Wh#n such is the case, I always imagine the animal is the subject of intestinal calculus or calculi. The disease, therefore, often consists in indi¬ gestion aud stoppage of the bowels. Emplotmeht Fob Evert Idle Laboebb.— Take from the ihelf the old school-books, brush from them the accumulated dust, and lose yourself in the problems of arithmetic, the rnlei of grammar, or the beautiful laws of natural philosophyl Open again the old atlav and fix in your mind the location of places, and the boaudary lines whioh you learned at Bchoofand have since forgotten! Learusome- thing of the lawa of your being, something of astronomy and geologyl If it be bat the rudi¬ ments of those sciences, it will he a healthy and beneficial employment. It will occupy the miud, keep off blue-devils, aud store your brain with useful information. This is infinitely better than loafing at street corners, or attending bar-room sittings of the grumblers' convention, to consider the state of thtf finances. Use these unemployed days, not for your own injury, by contracting idle habits, but for the good of yourself and of your children* Instead of making yourself miserable, and bad matters worse, by echoing at every corner the cry of "bard times," make every moment of use to yon by adding to your stock of infor¬ mation, so that, as you " chew the cud of thought" (not tobacco), by your fireside in the future, you may have a fund of kuowl- edge from which to draw supplies of food for the mind—a storehouse of information to which your inquisitive child may come and satisfy his thirst for knowledge. Not every one who fills his storehouse and cellar whioh the grocer's and marketman's commodities provideth for his own household; for though the table may bend beneath the weight of the good things oflife, the youthful minds that gather around it may have no fountain head beneath your roof to supply the wants of budding intelligence. Therefore, get wisdom in these days of leisure; for, in the words of the wise man of old, "By knowl¬ edge shall the chambers be filled with all pre¬ cious and pleasant riches." Captdee of a Huge Panthbb.—On the 22d nit., Mr. Samuel P. Hart, of Appleton, Wis cousin, went out with a neighlror to look for a stray oolt, taking with him bia trusty riflei for the purpose of killiag any wild game he might chance tn see. Afler traveling some two miles or more, he came upon the fresh tracks of some wild anitpal, aud^ the.traoka were large and singnlar, he 'jiave up looking for the pony, and with his excellent dog tramped off in search of an adventure. In a short time the dog treed the game, but be¬ fore Hart could reach the spot they were off again. Pretty soon, however, they stopped, and when Hart came up the dog had a huge panther, one of the lajrgest ever heard of in the West, at bay, and neither of them seem¬ ed disposed at once to commence the life struggle they knew was at hand. This was an unlocked for encounter, a kind of game few men care to hunt for. There waa no time for deliberation. Retreat might be certain death, and to fire and not kill the huge mon¬ ster, would he attended with even greater hazard. The dog had shown fight, but the sudden appearance of Mr. Hart seemed to throw the panther into a quaudry, whether to attack him or the dog. Just as the panther waa apparently abont to spring for the dog. Hart drew his gun to ' his ahoalder and fired, only wounding the auimal by breaking one of its fore shoulderal To say that Hart was not now alarmed at his own situation would be true, for the reason that he did not atop to think, but loaded his gnu in quicker time than he ever loaded one before, aud before the now infuriated beast could make a spring for bim shooting him through the head, and killing him instantly. The panther was brought to town, and exhibi¬ ted to large crowds, exciting universal surprise at his size and evident age, themore especial¬ ly aa but one of the apecie has been seen in that section of Wisconsin within a period of eleven years.' From the end of his nose to the tip of his tail, he measured seven feet aud two inches. Each of his paws was con¬ siderably thicker than a stout man's arm* and appeared to be capable of striking a sledge hammer blow. Two of his tusks, one of the upper and one of the lower jaw were broken off, and had apparently been gone for several yeard. The other two tusks were very much worn. All unite in setting him down as one of the oldest settlers in the northern wildernesa.—Appleton (Wis) Crt- scent. Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. of Philadelphia. CAPITAL $700,000.

NOTICE. ^PHE STOCKiiOLOERS 1 ReCEST DiSCOVEBIES A3 TO WnETSER TUB Moox IS iKEAfiiTEp.—It Ii&s loDg been knowo that the moon reTolves on its axis in the same time in which it revolves round tbe earth, and that it consequently always pre- sentB nearly the same side towards the earth, while tbe opposita side is never seen from our globe. No bodies of water or clouds can be seen on the moon by the aid of the most powerful telescope, nor is the apparent direc¬ tion of stars closB to its edge changed by re¬ fraction, as would be tbe case if an atmosphere enveloped the moon. Hence it has been in¬ ferred by Whewell, the reputed author of a late work, entitled "Of Plurality of Worlds," that the moon ha« no atmosphere or water, and, consequently no iubabitflnls. This in¬ ference is shown to bti iuconcluBive by a re¬ cent discovery of the astronomer Hansel, whose study oTthe moon's motion, continued for many years, has established the fact that the center of gravity of the moon, instead of being like that of the earth, at tbe canter of figure, is beyond that center, and fnther from the side next to the Siarth than it is from tbe Other side, by seventy- four milea. The nearer side of the moon, therefore, is a vast expand¬ ed protuberance of mountain, seventy-four jnileshigh; and the fluid,* whether air or water, would flow downwards from the nearer to the further side of the moon, where, for flUght that we know, intelligent living beings may exist. The nearer side of the moon cannot be inhabited, at least by beings to whose existence air and water are essential as is the case with all terrestrial animals.— , The late celebrated mathematician, Gauss, proposed as a means of settling the qnestion, whether the moon was inhabited, that a huge fflonament should be erected on the steppes of Siberia, as a signal to the inhabitants of the moon, in hope that they might be in¬ duced to erect a similar signal to apprise us of their existence. The discovery of Hansel shows that such an experiment could be at¬ tended witli no snccess, inasmuoh as the in¬ habitants of the moon, if there are any, being on the farther.side, oonld never see a monu¬ ment on the earth. It may not be uninterst- ing to add, that it has been discovered, within a feif years, by means of long- continued hour¬ ly obaervations with-a barometer, that the xnoon exerts an appreciable influence on the pressure of the atmostphere ; and, also, by means of long-continued magnetia observa¬ tions, that it exerts an influence on the declination of the mfignetlo needle.—Boston Courier, OV THEL _ LANCASTER LOCOMOTIVE WORKS are re¬ quested tu meet at the olHceof the Company, on THURS¬ DAY, JANUARY Ulh, 1S5S, st 2 o'clock P.

Everybody is advised to bei'ome as mean aa the most miserable miser, and while in one column hoarding is condemned, the retrenchment counsels in another enjoin all sorts of economical penan¬ ces upon the multitude. Retrenchment, if generally practiced to the extent generally ad- vised, would help prolong our sufferings in a small way. Individuals who have more than enough to pay their necessary current ex¬ penses, should keep a surplus on hand, and all persons who can, should be prepared for an extraordinarily rainy day; but why preach retreuchnieBt to the rich? There are thous¬ ands who have a steady and voluminous in¬ come which no revulsion materially affects, and to continually tell these fortunate being« that they must not spend money when tbe retailers, and tbe resident laborer are expec¬ ting to get their living from it is criminal. In conjunction with the retrenchment cry is another upon tbe subject of extravagance. What ia extravagance? The miser will answer that it is to buy that which can he dispensed with. Suppose everybody were to dress as plainly as protection from the weather, and a decent appe.irance would warrant—that we all depended upon the town clocks" for a knowledge of the time, fastened our shirt fronts together with brass pins, and ate crack¬ ed corn and cheap pork only—what would become of one half of the population of the city? Extravagance consists, perhaps, of light¬ ing cigars with $10 bank notes, and indulg¬ ing in luxuries that cannot be honorably paid for; but if a.lady have a thousand dollars in her purse, knowing when that is gone another thousand will, iu a reasonable time, take its place, it is not extravagant for her to pnr chase a hundred dollar shawl, a hundred dollar dress pattern, or a diamond brooch worth five hundred dollars. These are ex¬ pensive tastes, but upon their liberal grati¬ fication depends tbe happiness—nay the very food—of countless industrious artisans and their families. The costly bonnets about whioh we hear so much pulpit-raving, keep myriads of poor girls from descending to posi¬ tions worse than those occupied by the wor- shippers of Juggernaut. Let then, all who can afford it spend their money in the grati¬ fication of creditable tastes, for what is termed extravagence by parties who squander mil¬ lions upon the exportation of tracts and bibles is one of the strongest of the tie» by which the rich aud the poorof great.oities are bound together in comfort and amitj. Labd and Resin foe Tools.—Look at the plows, h&rrowv, •altivators, hoes, shovels, forks, chains, axvs, saws, not to ennnierate wagon irons, and a multitude of little tools that ought to be provided on or about any farm, and then reckon up how many of them will be lost where the combined effect of air and moisture will attack th^ir surfaces and eat away, enough to render them rough at least, if not to materially depraciate their value. Many instruments are destroyed faster by lying idle than they would be by constant wear. We will not now write a homily upon the valne and importance of a tool-house, and of having every implement stored in it, but give a recipe for an exceed¬ ingly simple, cheap and effective preparation, one available to all, which will at least save all metals from loss by rust. Take about three pounds of lard and one pound of resin. Melt them together in a baein or kettle aud rah over all iron and steel surfaces in danger of being rusted. It can be put on with a brush or piece of cloth, and wherever it is applied it roost effectually keeps air and moisture away, and of course prevent! rust. When knives and forks, or other household articles, liable to b«ceme mslod and spotted, are to be laid away, rub them with tbia mixture aud they will come out bright and clean even years afterwards. The coating may be so thin as not to be per¬ ceived, and it will still be effectual. Let every one keep a dish of this preparation on hand. As it does not spoil of itself it may be kept ready mixed for months or years.— Mem. Fresh lard, containing no salt, should he used. Resin is a cheap article, and may be obtained almost anywhere for four to six cents per pound. New Inventions.—Printing in various colors by.which an impression only is required, has been invented in pan's. The process is mainly conducted on the inking table, which is com¬ posed of a frame similar to the chaae of the type form, arranged with 'pieces of wood or riglets of metal, corresponding with the various lines of color required iu the form to be printed. If a playcard or bill composed of six lines of type, ornament, &c., is to be print¬ ed in six different colors, tbe inventor places lix wooden rules iu such a position in the inking table or form as to correspond with the six lines of type, blocks, ornaments, &c., so composing the printing form, each piece of wood being rather widprthan the line of typo with which it is to correspoud. A proper quantity of ink is then plaoed on each of the rules. He then takes an inking roller of the ordinary description, but provided with guides or runners at each end, which guides pass along pieces of wood or metal arranged for that purpose at the side of the inking table and by means of the roller the ink is disbri- buted along the entire length of each aud all the wooden rules composing tbe inking table- The roller is then charged with all the colors placed npon the various sections or rules, each rule contributing to the roller a band or ribbon of tbe ink with which it U charged, so that ¦for as many sections or rules as may be in the inking table, the roller will have aa many bands of ink of the same color, or of as many various colors as the inking table may be supplied with. To ink the printing form, the roller is applied to it in the game relative posi¬ tion as it was applied to the inking table, and tbe guides at the ends of the roller run in gutters or grooves at the side of the type form corresponding with those at the aide of the inking form or table. By this means the ink taken off each section or rule of the inking table by the roller is transferred by the roller to the corresponding line or section of the type form. DiBsolution of Partnership. THE partnership heretofore existing between FAULK JUNES and RICHARD JONES, of Peach Bottom, doing hurtiuodti uadur the name and firm of R. & V. JONES, la thin day dlBBolved by mutual condeut.

French, In one of his letters in the New England Farmer, speaking of plowing in England, says their work is done far better than oari, and it ii either because tbej bare bstter plowi or bold them better, and our farmers and plow ma- kera maf settlu that qoe^tion as thej can. I have seen a man in England, with a joke of oien bamesied in collars, like horiest with blinders on, and bits in their mouthsi gniding Ibem with reins, and holding the plow himself, striking oat lands eigbtj rods long, with no stakei except at the ends, »B- solately straight, so that I could not see an inch variation in the distanoa.

Great Fioht with a Bear.—A letter from Port Rowan, Canada West, November 19tb, say a— A large bear, weighing three hundred pounds, was killed, after a hard Lattle, on the 17th inst, near Port Rowan. Tbe particulars were AS follows:— ^_^^ Two men struak a bear near Houghton Centre, and they decided to follow it up, and if possible to kill the bear. So, each armed with a rifle and revolver, carrying ther pro¬ visions on their backs, started on the trail.— They chased the bear for a length of time, from Houghton into Walaingham, when tbe bear, neariy exhausted, found his way into a place where a party of lumberman were at work, and supposing this a safe retreat, pre pared to rest awhile. However, in a short time the hunters dogs came up, and the old bear, not feelifag in the mood to move off straightway, pitched battle with them. One of tbe lumbermen, seeing a good opportu¬ nity, struck the bear with bis axe and broke one of his hind legs. The bear became en¬ raged at this, and turned on tbe man, who again lifted bis axe, bat in doing so, slipped and fell helpless to tbe ground. Hia com¬ rades, seeing hi« danger, rnshed to the Bpot and attacked tbe bear with their axes, but did not succeed iu killing bim until he bad bitten the man twice on tbe left leg—once below and onoe above the knee—and then seized him by the breast, but, aa it luckily happened, the man had hia mittens Inside of his coat, and his coat being loose, the bear, instead of biting the man, bad his mouth full of oloth and buckskin. By thia time they bad succeeded in dispatching th« monster, and the man who, br his rashness, came so near losing bis life, waa released from the bear's firm clntch. The hunters then came up and paid the lumberman ten dollars, and took the bear. The lumberman is very badly hurt, but will, doubtless, recover; be will, at all events, be laid upior the remainder of the I winter. A. B.

THE OLD MAN SBEAUB.
0 for ooe hour of youthful Joy !
Give back my twentieth spring! I'd rather laogh a bright-haired boy
Than reign a gray-beard king! Off with the wrinWed epolls of age!
Away with learning's crown. Tear out life's wiodom-wrltten page,
And dwh its trophies down • One moment let my Hfe-hlnod stream
From boyhood's fount of flama! dire me one giddy, reallng droam
or life all love and fame!
^My listening angel heard the prayer.
And calmly smiling, said, •' If 1 but tooch thy silvered hair,
"Thy banty wish hath sped."
TAKING HIM AT HIS WOSD.
The anaker's Gift.
A brother writes to me that when he waB a youili bis father said to him one day :
"Levi, can you make tip jour miud to live at home and be a farmer?"
" I would rather be a tanner than a farmer," replied Levi. -
*' Very well," responded his father, who was willing to let Levi follow bia own tastes, as he was now seventeen years old ; " very well my son, I will try and find a place for you."
Very shortly after a place was found for Master Levi with a good Quaker. When the youth prt-SfDled himself at-thetannery, the honest Quaker f^aid:
" Levi, if thee will be a good boy, I will do well by thee; if not, I nill send the home again. All the bargain I will make with thee is, that thee shall do as well by me as I do by thee."
" Very well, sir," said Levi, "I will try what I can do."
Levi now went to work with a hearty good nllt. H« worked hard, read his bible, was steady, honest and good natured. The Qua¬ ker liked him. He liked the Quaker. Hence the Quaker was satisfied. Levi was happy, and the years of his apprenticeship passed pleasantly away.
Jact before Levi became of age, his master said to him:
" Levi, I think of makiug thee a nice pres¬ ent when thy time is out "
Levi smiled very pleasantly at this scrap of news, and said ''I shall be very happy to receive any gift you may pleaie to make met sir."
Then the Quaker looked knowingly at Levi and added, " I cannot tell thee now what the present is to be, but it shall be worth more than a thousand dollars to thee,"
"More than a thousand dollars !" said Levi tp himself, hia nyos sparkling at the bare thought of such a costly gift. " What can it be ?" I wonder if he means to Offer me his daughter for a wife ? That can't be, because I have heard it said that a good wife is better than ten or twenty thousand dollars. Ko, it can't be his daughter. But what can it be?"
That was the puzzeliog qaestion that buz¬ zed about like a bee in Levi's brain from that time until the day before he waa of age.— On that day the Quaker said to htm :
" Levi, thy time is out to-morrow; bat I will take thee and thy present home to-day.'> Levi breathed freely on hearing those ^ords. pressing himself in his best euit, he soon Joined the Quaker, but oonld see nothr ing that looked like a gift worth over a thous¬ and dollars. Ue puzzled himself about it all ihe way, and said to himself, ''Perhaps the Quaker has forgotten it."
At last they reached Levi's home.—After he had been greeted by bis friends, the Qua¬ ker turned to him and said:
"Levi, I will give thy present to thy father.'' "As you please air," replied Levi, now on the very tiptoe of expectation.
"Well," said the Quaker, speaking to l4evi's father, " your son is the best boy I ever had.'' Then turning to Levi, be added, " This is thy present, Levi—A good name."
Levi blushed; perhaps he felt a little dis¬ appointed because his golden visions were thus so suddenly spirited away. But hia sensible father was delighted, and said to the Quaker who was smiling a little waggishly:
" I would rather hear you say that of my son, sir, than to see you give him all the money you are worth; for ' A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.' "
Levi's father was right, and the Quaker was a wise man. 1 have no doubt that Levi's good name did him more good than a barrel fall of golden eagles could have done. It proved bim to be owner of a good character, which is worth more than all the gold, pearls, diamonds and precious stones in the WQrld. What do you think of the honest Quaker's gift my child? Was it not a precious thing? I hope you deserve the same gift from your parents, teachers and friends. But mark me! A good name is the fruit of a good character. If you are wicked, your name is not good — Hence if yon want a good name, you must ask Jesns to give yon a good heart.
" Ai near as I can remember, it was fifteen years ago this last winter that I attended a dancing school in Detroit, with a young lady then residing in the city. I had made up my mind some years ago that I woald never get married, but it was snoh a pleasant business I couldn't find it in my heart to let the girl alone, so I paid her tuition fee, and attended thb class in her company every night. About the middle of the term, several young peo¬ ple, ourselves included, were talking in the ball-room on the subject of matrimony, and I, of course, beoame interested ai^i^tl as the others. On going home that evening I told my companion that I had determined to get married in the spring, and asked her advice in making a selection for a wife. She made no reply for a moment, and I told her if she did not know anybody better iltted for me I would like to have her think the matterover, and'tell me by the last of the school what she thought of marrying mw heruelf. I was joking all the time, you must uuderatand^ and had no more thought of m»rryiug bnr than I now have of marrying Queen Viutoria. She promised to think of it, Imwover, and I returned to my boarding bouse, and gave the subject no farther thought until some weeks later—and as luck would have it, on th« last evening of the school, the subject waa again brought np in the converiatioo, just as we were preparing to return to our home, for the night. After leaving the hall, we talked and chatted of different matters, and on different subjects, till we reached her residence. It wa5 late and I did not enter the house though she strongly urged me to do so. I had bid her good night and was turning away, when I happened to recollect the promise she had made to me, and I said:
' Helen you promised to let me kn»*w to¬ night whether you would marry me this spring. Have yon made up your mind ?"
" Yes," said she, " I have been thinking about it, but I guess that I am a little too young. If it was'nt for that I would have no objection."
"Well, good night then," said I, "I didn't expect you would do it—but I'm boumi to marry some one, and this sjtri'ig too."
Before leaving her I engaged to call the following evening. That night I slept sound¬ ly, and the next morning had forgotten all about my night's adventure. During .the day I received an iuvitation to attend a ball to be held that evening a few milei out of the city, and I made arrangemuntf aooording- ly. Towards dusk I remembered my agree¬ ment to see Helen, and I thought that I would run over a moment, and afterwards have time to attend the ball.
Arrived at the hou^e, I met the lady in the doorway, and I thought .for an instant that she was "rigged np " in extra style, which I was at a loss to account fur, though I believe I concluded that she had company, and I was therefore in hope that I should not be detain¬ ed long. Helen welcomed me into the parlor with a sweet imile, and took her seat beside me on the sofa. I was expecting every mo¬ ment to see some stranger enter the roomt and I had not yet become satisfied that we wore alone, wlien she said—
"Henry, I have made up my mind to mar¬ ry yon."
" Had a thunder clap struck me I oonld not have been more surprised; and after an instant of hesitation I stammered out— "What did yon say?" " I have conclnded to marry you." " Q-oh you have I Well, I suppose it's all right; when shall the event take place ?"
" I thought, if it would suit you, that you might drive around next Sunday, and we will go to mother's at Dearborn, and be married there!"
"Well," said I. "I'll see if I can," and as soon as possible I took my leave.
I didn't go to the ball that night—I forgot ^U about it and sat over the stove till morn¬ ing, thinking of what a scrape I got myself into. I even forgot to keep the iire going, and almost froze in my seat. When daylight be¬ gan to peep in at the windows I had made up my mind what I would do. I would go over and tell Helen that we must be married imme¬ diately, or not at all; and if she agreed to that, I saw no other way than to submit to my fate,
'When I entered the gate, leading up to her hotise, I heard her singing a lively sour, and my conscience almost smote me for deceiving the poor girl as I had ; but I summoned np courage to ring the bell, and pulling up my collar and throwing my head back, I anxious¬ ly awaited an answer to my summons. She soon came to the door, and I was again shown into the parlor as before.
" Helen," I commenced, " I
"Well, what?"
"I—I—we must be married to-day, or I— I—don't think that I shall be able to be mar¬ ried at all I"
" Well, just as you please, Henry, you may drive around about twelve o'clock and I will be ready."
I gave up I I drove np with my carriage, and before night we were married. And that wife has been worth $100,000 to me !—Detroit Advertiser.
TiiK Best Method op Stoeiso and Pbeserv- IKQ Potatoes Ddbino thb Wihtkr.—W. Frank- land, Esq., said he considered that very mnoh depends on the state the potatoes are in when taken up. As regards his own, this year, they had been partially attacked with the disease, and lui thought at one time they were going to^ very bad; hut they have tamed out much better than he expected.— Those diseased he sorts out as he takes them up. He then thinly spreads the good in his out-house, when they are taken np wet; but this year they are so dry and clear that be has laid them much thioker. He lets them lie ten days or a fortnight to sweat, and then sorts them into three sorts, marketable, for sets, and the bad and small for pigs, &o. In about another fortnight he stores them in piles ill the field, as by keepinf; in the house all the wiutur they are apt to shrivel, and do not look so blooming in the spring.
Mr- Geo. Welburn. of Eylingdalea, said that he sorts his in the same way as Mr. Frankland, and sprwads them accordingly ; he has an out-house on purpose for storing for the winter, and therefore never makes piles in the flald. As soon as bet hinks they are fit to put by, he stores them in hia'potato- house, and covers them with straw «nd dry soda. He takes partioular care of his sods from year to year, always prt^serving them from wet. By these means, living as he does near the fiahlng town of Bobin Hood's Bay, which he aappliM all the winter, he can get easily at them at all times, whether trost or snow, which he could not were they in piles in the fields.
Mr. T. Ward, of Bannial Fiat,*said be does the same as Mr. Frankland as far aa he has room in hia out houses ; but as he grows a large quantity be cannot take, perhaps, such minute pains and care of them. He causes them all to bo sorted aa they take them up, and leaves all the diaeased and bad ones on the land, and then turns his pigs in to eat them. He.first puts the good in small heaps in a field, and covers them with straw, and lets them lie in tbl* way about a fortnight to sweat; he then has them properly sorted, and stores them in piles in the fields for the winter. He thinks Mr, Welburn's plan good one, where there is a proper storing house- Mr. E. Ormeaton, of Struggleton, said that he puts all his potatoes in the house the same as Mr. Welburn. He is very particular in sorting them, as he beliaves that the diseased potatoes infect the good ; but in a few weeks after they have been taken up an 1 sweated, they may then be stored for the winter, he having houses for the purpose.
All the other members present concurred -in the opinion that potatoes must be allowed time to sweat before they are stored away for the winter, and the diseased regularly sorted from the good, as there is no doubt of the disease being contagions.—Mark Lan* Ex- pre$i.
Dobs One's Stylb op Walkiho indicate nis CiiABACTSRf^ProfessorFowler says that those whodu motions are awkward, yet easy, possess much efficiency aud poaitiveueas of character, yet lack polish : and jast in proportion as they become refined in minri, wilt their mnile of carriage be correspondingly improved. A short aud quick step indicates a brisk aud active, but rather contracted mind, wlmreas those who take long steps, generally have long beads ; yet if their steps be slow, they will make comparatively little progress, while those whose step is long and quick, will ac¬ complish proportionately much, and pass most of thttir competitors on the highway of life. Their heads and plans, too, will partake of the same far reaching character evinced in their carriage. Those who sluf or, draw their heels, drag and drawl in everything; while those who walk with a springing, bounding step, abound in a mental snap and spring. Those whose walk is mincing, affect¬ ed and artificial, rarely, if ever, accomplish much; whereas those who walk carelessly, that is, naturally, are juat what they appear to be, and put on nothing for outside show. Those who in walking, roll from side to side, lack directness of oharacter, and side every way, according to circumstances, whereas those who take a bee line—that Is, whose body moves neither to the right nor left, but atraight forward—have a corresponding di¬ rectness of purpose, and oneness of character! those also who teeter up and down when they walk, rising an inch or two every step, will have many corresponding ups and downs in life, because of their irregularity of character and feeling. Those, too, who make a great ado in walking, will make much needless parade in everything else, and hence spend a' great amount of useless steam in all they undertake, yet accomplish little; whereas those who walk easily, or expend little strength walking, will aooomplish great re snlts with a little strength, both mentally and physically. In short, every individual has his own peculiar mode of moving, which exactly accords with his montal oharacter; so that, so far as yon can sue suoh modes, you can decipher such outline of character.
Colic in Hor3B3.—Years ago, before noae- bags were adopted, colic waa more common than at the present day. In those days hor¬ ses went out to work early in the morning and did not retnrn until night, during whioh time, " owing to the want of some conveni¬ ent mode of supplying them with food when out," they partook of none. The oonseqaence was they returned home with tbeirvitsl pow¬ ers exhausted by work, aud with keen appe¬ tites, bearing no relation to the capacity of 4he stomach or to the digestive powers ; with avidity they swallowed the food then placed before them; it then entered the stomaoh not sufficiently insallTated or masticated, rendering it impossible for the gastric juices to act on it—it Is a physiological faot that, if food is not properly saturated with saliva in the mouth it Is with great difficulty that chemical action necessary to digestion is set Qp in the stomach—and colic was the result. o remedy this evil, Professor Coleman suggested the use of the nosebag, in order that the horse, when standing during the loading or unloading of the vehicle to which he was yoked, might partake of food. The nosebag being generally adopted, cases of colic became rare, and happily continue so.
The horse has a very small stomaoh when compared with the rest of the alimentary canal, which is quickly emptied, and there¬ fore requires to be frequenly supplied with food. Prom the above remarks, we learn that it is better to supply animals with a small quantity of food two or three times a day, in preference to a large quantity at one time. This plan I have proved over and over again to be a good practice; but, with all our care (sometimes owing to the exhibition of an inproper quantity of deteriorated food, as bran, turnips, &o., or to a draught of cold water when the animal is heated—rarely, however, causing this disease unless in co¬ operation with other agents, as the effects of water are but transitory without them), some animals have periodical attacks. Wh#n such is the case, I always imagine the animal is the subject of intestinal calculus or calculi. The disease, therefore, often consists in indi¬ gestion aud stoppage of the bowels.
Emplotmeht Fob Evert Idle Laboebb.— Take from the ihelf the old school-books, brush from them the accumulated dust, and lose yourself in the problems of arithmetic, the rnlei of grammar, or the beautiful laws of natural philosophyl Open again the old atlav and fix in your mind the location of places, and the boaudary lines whioh you learned at Bchoofand have since forgotten! Learusome- thing of the lawa of your being, something of astronomy and geologyl If it be bat the rudi¬ ments of those sciences, it will he a healthy and beneficial employment. It will occupy the miud, keep off blue-devils, aud store your brain with useful information.
This is infinitely better than loafing at street corners, or attending bar-room sittings of the grumblers' convention, to consider the state of thtf finances.
Use these unemployed days, not for your own injury, by contracting idle habits, but for the good of yourself and of your children* Instead of making yourself miserable, and bad matters worse, by echoing at every corner the cry of "bard times," make every moment of use to yon by adding to your stock of infor¬ mation, so that, as you " chew the cud of thought" (not tobacco), by your fireside in the future, you may have a fund of kuowl- edge from which to draw supplies of food for the mind—a storehouse of information to which your inquisitive child may come and satisfy his thirst for knowledge.
Not every one who fills his storehouse and cellar whioh the grocer's and marketman's commodities provideth for his own household; for though the table may bend beneath the weight of the good things oflife, the youthful minds that gather around it may have no fountain head beneath your roof to supply the wants of budding intelligence. Therefore, get wisdom in these days of leisure; for, in the words of the wise man of old, "By knowl¬ edge shall the chambers be filled with all pre¬ cious and pleasant riches."
Captdee of a Huge Panthbb.—On the 22d nit., Mr. Samuel P. Hart, of Appleton, Wis cousin, went out with a neighlror to look for a stray oolt, taking with him bia trusty riflei for the purpose of killiag any wild game he might chance tn see. Afler traveling some two miles or more, he came upon the fresh tracks of some wild anitpal, aud^ the.traoka were large and singnlar, he 'jiave up looking for the pony, and with his excellent dog tramped off in search of an adventure. In a short time the dog treed the game, but be¬ fore Hart could reach the spot they were off again. Pretty soon, however, they stopped, and when Hart came up the dog had a huge panther, one of the lajrgest ever heard of in the West, at bay, and neither of them seem¬ ed disposed at once to commence the life struggle they knew was at hand. This was an unlocked for encounter, a kind of game few men care to hunt for. There waa no time for deliberation. Retreat might be certain death, and to fire and not kill the huge mon¬ ster, would he attended with even greater hazard. The dog had shown fight, but the sudden appearance of Mr. Hart seemed to throw the panther into a quaudry, whether to attack him or the dog.
Just as the panther waa apparently abont to spring for the dog. Hart drew his gun to ' his ahoalder and fired, only wounding the auimal by breaking one of its fore shoulderal To say that Hart was not now alarmed at his own situation would be true, for the reason that he did not atop to think, but loaded his gnu in quicker time than he ever loaded one before, aud before the now infuriated beast could make a spring for bim shooting him through the head, and killing him instantly. The panther was brought to town, and exhibi¬ ted to large crowds, exciting universal surprise at his size and evident age, themore especial¬ ly aa but one of the apecie has been seen in that section of Wisconsin within a period of eleven years.' From the end of his nose to the tip of his tail, he measured seven feet aud two inches. Each of his paws was con¬ siderably thicker than a stout man's arm* and appeared to be capable of striking a sledge hammer blow. Two of his tusks, one of the upper and one of the lower jaw were broken off, and had apparently been gone for several yeard. The other two tusks were very much worn. All unite in setting him down as one of the oldest settlers in the northern wildernesa.—Appleton (Wis) Crt- scent.
