I alwuya i)riiled myself ou the natti- uess of iny appearautio before I was married ; ami if tlieie was oue particu¬ lar lUiug wbicli I likeil to bave stylish it was my umbrella. Tbe best silk and liilest fiauie.s were baldly good enough, aud my umbrella was generally about us slim aud nicely shaped as a cane; so much so that ISrown used to chad' me (Continually about its appearance and say i t was a bachelor's umbrella— bis being aliuust the size of Mrs. Gamp's. It was three years ago tbis-mantb, aud the weather wasevidently in a very sorrowful mood, for it just poured' all day long, something like the cats and dogs whicii auntie always uses as a simile wheu it raius very hard. I had to leave tbe ollice a uumber of times duriug theday, and about two ©'clock went to the bank to get a check cashed; and of coursemy umbrella, not this one, was iu constant use. There were some dozen persons waitiug in a liue at the couuter, and I had to wait also. Wait¬ ing there in a damp room wasn't very agreeable; but I just bung myumbrella . on the edge of the counter till I had done, and just there I lost it, for wben I got tbe casb I had forgotten tbe um¬ brella aud left the bank witbout it. When""! reached the street I missed it, and back I posted; butit was goue —where, by whom taken, or how, I never found out; but banging to the count^^ instead was an old dilapidated looking thing made of blue cotton. It was enough to make me shower left-hauded blessi ngs on tbe party who had made the exchange; but here, by the way, I might just as well observe that it was really a blessing to me, only in disguise. As the rain poured in torrents, I just made the best of the matter, and stalked into the street as apparently uncon¬ cerned as possible—me, thenatty Thorn¬ ton, as my chums called me, perambu¬ lating tbose streets where my said friends most do congregate, and under a big cotlon umbrella, large enough to shelter a whole family of seven. Brown met me fust. "Ah!" said he, "got a family now— congratulate you, my boy." And from him to tbe office, each and every friend I bad seemed to be in tbe street waiting to bail my appearance witha jest or a laugb. Confound it! I was almost mad enough to smash tbe old thing to pieces; but I did'nt, for it rained too hard for auy such foolish¬ ness. Several times during tbat afternoon I vainly endeavored to borrow or steal another one;' bu t it was of no use; and for home I sta ited with it getting iuto the sam e omnibus with Brown, who at once commenced at me with, "I s'ay, I old fellow, when did it take place?" Thinking innocence might extricate me from this confounded chaffing, I asked, "What take place ?" " Wby, you are- mistaken, for I still remaiu my own master, aud am uot compelled to be at home every night at teu, or else suller the discordant diu of li scolding jiartner." Tbis waa iutended for him, but he shook it off easily, aud gave it back witb avengeauce. Yes, but beiug as you are, you are mightily put about carrying an um¬ brella more serviceable thau ornamen¬ tal ; whereas I, being married, satisfy myself wilh what I have. Tobeapbi- losopber you must get married, aud who knows but wbat that same um¬ brella may come in service tbeu ?" I escaped from biui tben, as I had reached the slreet I wanted to get out at; and leaving the omnibus I elevated the umbrella to protect me from tbe pouring raiu. At the coruer, under a shop awuicg, stood two lovely damsels, evideutly wailiug for the rain to cease, for they were without umbrellas. Over-sensitive iu regard to my ap¬ pearance, I could uot help notice tbe titter as tbey regarded me. And, to tell the truth, there was somewhat of a contrast to laugb jit. Imagine a fash¬ ionably-dressed youug man, rather good-looking, decidedly genteel, and over bia head au euormous old cotton umbrella, and j ou'll see me aa those girls saw me. I was nettled, put out, and wratliful, but resolved to checktheir mirth at all hazards. Stepping up to them I said, " Ladies, my umbrella is large, and as I see you are wiihout one, can I ofl'er you my services aa far as I go?" men¬ tally resolving tbatif they went further than me roy umbrella should go too. After whispering for a momeut, one of them replied, "Thank you sir; we would be obliged for your escort." Ofcourae, we weut aloug I did my best to open a con,ver8ation, and soon bad the pleasure of elibiliug a few words from tbem. They were both ¦very pretty; but theonecalled Mary I thought then was a particularly pleas¬ ing young lady, and instinctively de¬ sired to prolong our walk that we might be better acquainted. Having reached the street in which ^ dwelt, I turned to Miss Mary and ; said, "I live in this street, and as I see • yoq are going further, you are welcome to tbe use of my umbrella, for It is but 9 step to my residence. Vou can return It at your leisure. Good-day." And leaving them with the umbrella, i^ whtch I knew they would never retnrn, for I purposely did not give them my address, I ran home, congratulating myselfat having eo pleasantly dispoaed of my pest. iM Somehow or other Mary's eyes were always in my mind, and Ishould almost have forgotten about the old umbrella ifit were not for the remembrance of her sweet face. After a while I came to the conclusion that I bad actually fallen in love with Mary; but who was Mary and where to find her, I did not know. And theu I.began to wish I had given my addresa, that the umbrella might be returned to me. Ali this took place iu March. Months paased and I never came across either Mary or tbe umbrella. How I wished or a glimpse of either, I cauuot tell you; but I did—awful! During September I was down at my frieuil Wyndbam's place, on the sea- coast, for a week or two, and one day h.! ual I weut out fishing in a yach but, noticing a sturm comiug up, at thought we bad better put iuto the bay until it cleared up again. The sky in the west w.is already black with the rushing clouds advanc¬ ing up the zenith, aud as we passed the point on our way in we uoticed a boat containlug some parties still fi^ihiug perfeotly unconscious ef the rising storm, for the trees ou tho land obsuur ed the western sky, and overhead was still clear. Wyiiilliam called my at- tvuiioh tn thetu. '' Goo'l gracious !'' exclaimed I, " there's my utnbrtflla! " "Where?" said Wyudham. " Wby, there, in that boat, Wyud¬ ham," aaitl I. " I must see the people in that boat come what may." And turniug tbe yacht arouud we sailed toward llieiii. liut wu bad to sail rouud a considerable distunue; and iu che meautime the jieoide iu Ibe boat bad evidently uoticed the cjming Sturm, for they were pulliug up their anchor. The umbrella—I was sure it was miue—still remained elevated, so I could uot see who was beneath it; but my poor heart beat a little excitedly, for I hoped it would be Mary. AVe had nearly reached tbem when tbe windy forerunner of the storm struck the boat and the next moment it was overturned, aud I saw two ladies aud three men struggling iu the water, one of tnem clutching tightly lo tbe umbrella, wbose strong ribs aelually made a sort of halloon of it and buoyed ber up, while tbe wiud carried her away from the otbers. "Wyudham!" shouted I, "you pick up the others, and I'll look after this one." And tearing ofl" my boots and coat, I sprang into the water, and swam raoid- ly toward her, tbe wind at the same time carrying ber toward uje. She was terribly frightened, but, seeing me, slie seemed to take a little courage, and ex¬ claimed: "Save me, sir! Oh what shall I do?" Without regarding ber questions, I grasped her under the arms, and told ber to let go tbe umbrella, aud trust heraelf to me. "Xow," said I, "dou't touch me aud weare all right." And being an excellent swimmer I paddled along with my feet, and push¬ ed her in frout of me witb my arms, tbe umberella in the meantime takiug journey into the air. All tbis took less tban two minutes; aud I saw witb pleasure tbat Wyudham, had been equally prompt, and bad rescued the other lady, aud two of the gentleman did, only wishing that Graham was in my place, and I iu his. After a while I noticed old Tom Hayes, the fisherman, launching bis boat from the point, going ofT for an afternoon's fishing, and Graham seeihs tbe ssme, it suddenly struck bim that he had promised to so with the old mad tbat afternoon; so, begging tbe young lady's leave, be placed her once more under my escort with the um¬ brella, and I ueeil not tell you tbe result, for here comes Mary, and she would be angry If sho knew that I had been divulging our love aiTaira, eveu to lell the story of our old blue cotton umbrella. SHOOTING TES A70STLES. Afler the city of Mexico bad surren¬ dered 10 General Scolt, it ia well known that tbe troops were obliged to win their way from bouse to bouse, and streel lo street, until they expelled tbe remnant ot the Mexican army, wbioh disputed every inch of ground from tho gates of the city to tbe palaces. The 2J Regiment United Statea In¬ fantry, under command of Col. Kiley, were gaining ground step by, uuder a hot lire fronl house-tops aud church steeple.M, wben Pat Lullony, a private lu Company F, made a daah aud in- treucbed himself in a doorway (the doorways are large, wilh heavy pro- ectiHg jams) a full balf square in ad¬ vance of his compauy, aud commenced a spirited lire. Wben he had lired five shots he was joined by a comrade just as be wuapre- pating for tbe sixth rouud, who asked bim what he was firing at aud desired "chanceiu." "Hist!" says Pat, "wait till I fetch anotber of the bla'guards. I have done tbe business for five of'em, and tbere is anotber waiting to be served tlie same sauce." Bang! went liia sixth shot, wben his comrade, together wilh two others who liad now joined them, exploded with laughter. " Wbat in the devil's name be yees laughing at, at all ?" says Pat. "Bure didn't I fix bis flint uice enough? aud, by the power! there is another spalpeen just stepped in bis place, aud waiting for a dose," ramming bis carriage home wilh energy. "Stop, Pat," aaid hi.s comrade; "don't you see you are firing at the Apostles ?" "An' is it the Apoahtles, is it? Ifow may the bowly St. Petber forgive me !" exclaimed Pat, his eyes opeuiug like two saucers as he made the discovery that he had beeu firing on two life- sized statues cf St. Peter and St. Paul, which stood ou eacb side of a church door about musket-shot down tbe street. Pat had hit St. Peter six times, t was a standing joke against him, and he never beard tbe last of it aa long as he remained in tbe regiment. LOSS OF THE DECLAB&TIOH OF INDE- FENDEKCE.

There ia good sense in the following ad¬ vice to youug ladies: "Your every day toilet is part of your character.

These are just as essential as your breakfast, before which you should makegood use of tbem. Parents who fail to provide most of their children with such apjiliauces, not only make a great mistake, but commit a siu of omission.

PHILADELPHIA ADVERTISEMENTS r carrying him with fea rful velocity " Haul down tbose sails," he cried to tbe two men, "or we'll pass them." The men were equal in promptitude, and the sails came down to the mast. and flapped over the side, uearly up¬ setting tbe yacht, but at the same time impending its speed, so that tbe lady and I were easily pulled aboard. Of course, ahe fainted after the danger waa over; and, ofcourae, ahe proved to be Mary of the umbrella; and, ofcourae, again, I had the pleasure of making ber acquaintauce; whioh, of course, I did not fail to improve; and, of course, I fell more in love thau ever. Well, things were in tbia atate for some weeks, aud at last I thought the time bad come when I would learn my destiny from her lips; so telling Wynd- bam I was going away for a stroll to take a few sketches—thiugs I knew he abominated—I just walked over to Mr. Graham's house—that waa Mary's fatber—hoping to meet her alone. I Takiug a shady wood palh which led I up to the rear of the bouse, I stalked along for some distauce, thinking of what I waa about to do, when happen¬ ing to glance up, I uoticed on the roeka of tbe shore my inevitable cotton um¬ brella expanded iu all its glory. That umbrella haunted me theu, and I preaaged evil from its appearance; but, nevertheless, I weut toward it, think¬ ing, of course, that the wiud aud tide bad driven it ashore, which they had, but not juat there. There it lay, wide open, its top toward rae; aud wben I reacbed it I seized it by the projection of the stick and lifted it toward ine. Ey Jove! when I think of the result I almost wouder how I got through it at all; for, as I lifted the umbrella what was behind aud under it waa revealed; and there comfortably seated on the rock, was my Mary aud a deuced good lookiug young fellow. If I waa as¬ tounded, they were about as mucb surprised. Mary blushed, and looked at me as if lo reproach me for such an ungeutleniaoly action ; whiletheyoung fellow looked as if he was about lo eat me up, aud muttered, " What d'ye mean sir?" "I beg pardon. Miss Graham," I stammered. "By seeing thia umbrella, to which I have a alight claim, aud not noticing its occupation by any one, of course I thought I waa recovering a lost article of my own." "Ob, tben," salt! Miss Mary, "you are tbe gentlemau who leut us the um¬ brella so kindly, aome monthsago, in Loudon ? Harry, thia is Jane's^ud my Don'tyou remember?" nearly all tbe signatures are entirely eflfaced, and the rest eanuot last much longer, unless somiithing is done to re¬ store the writing. The sacred Declaration, together with George Washington's commission as "General and Commander-iu-Chief of the Colonial Army," wbich is in about tbe same condition, have beeu for yeara on exhibitiou in thePateutOffice, and it is a matler of surprise that uo effort has been made by the Govern¬ meut to save them from being lost forever to posterity. Tbis is sus¬ ceptible of beiug done, as we are credibly informed that the British Museum is constantly restoring old manuscripts to their almost original condition. Do we not possess like knowledge whicii cau be put to such valuable uae? Here is an opportuuity for our Amer¬ ican scientists to distinguish them¬ selves,.and we trust they will signify the ability aud willingness aa publicly OS tbis urgent request is made. escort. This familiarity may have been pleasing to Harry but it by no means followed tbat it was to me; so I re¬ marked, aa coldly as possible, " Misa Graham, I again beg your pardon for the interruption; and as the umbrella ia pleasautfor your use, allow me the pleasure of transferring the ownership to you." " Gentlemen," abe said, "allow me to introduce you to each other. Mr. Thorton, thia is ray cousin, Mr. Harry Graham, brother to the young lady wbo waa with me that day. Harry. Mr. -Thorton, the gentleman who saved my life the other day." Did she uot '^accent" cousin pretty strongly? I thought she did, at least; and it made mo take heart, and act more pleasantly; and in five minutes I had the pleasure of finding that though the young lady waa on tbe freest terms with Graham, itwas only on account of the relationship between them. To explain my appearance, I gave the same excuse aa i had to Wyndham, and waa forthwith put to work to make a: sketch of the umbrella, and with theta beneath It; whioh, of course, I KNOCKED ABOUT IN THE WOKLD. It Is agood thiug for a young mau to be "kuocked about iu the world," though his soft-hearted parents may not think so. All youths, or, if not all, certainly nineteeu-tweutieths of the sum total, .enter life witli a surplusage of self-conceit. If, in measuring themselves with wiser and older men than tbey are, they discover that it is unwarranted, and get rid of it gracefully, of Ibeirownaccord, welland good; if not, it is dealrable, for their own sakes, that it be khocketl out of them. A boy wbo is seut to a large school soon finds his level. His will may have been paramouut at home; but achool-boya are democratic in tbeir ideas, and, if arrogant, are sure to be thrashed into a lecogniiion of tbe golden rule. Tbe world is a great pub¬ lic school, and it aoon teaches a new pupil bis proper place. Ifhe haa the at¬ tributes that belongs to a leader, be will be installed iu the position of aleailer; if not, whatever his own opinion of his abilities may be, he will be compelled to fall in with therank and file. Ifuot destined to greatueas, the uext best thing to which he can aspire, is respectability; but no man can either be truly great or respectable, who is vain, pompous and overbearing. By the lime the novice bas found his legitimate social position, be the aame high or low, the probability ia tbat the disagreeable traits of hia character will be softened down or worn away. Most likely tbe process of abrasion will be rough,- perhapa very rough; but wbeu it ia all over and he begins to see himself aa others aee him, and not re¬ fiected in tbe mirror of self-conceit, he will he than'Kful tbat he haa run the gauullet, and arrived, Ibough by a rough road, at self-knowledge. Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers may think to the contrary, it is a good thiug for youths to be knocked about iu the world—it makes men of them. DEAIH IN AN OYSISEE SHELL. James O'Neill, ex-member of Assem¬ bly frora the Kintli waril, New Y'ork, and chief clerk of the E.tcise Board, came to bis death in a mauner aa sin¬ gular as it was painful. At teu o'clock ou Friday eveniug be sauntered out from his residence, in Greenwich street, aud after making a light luuch of a few raw oysters, re¬ turueil home anil retired to rest. About midnight he wus awakened from his aleep by severe paina in the stomach. Physicians were summoned, und thoy having learned that the pa¬ tient had eaten cucumbers at dinuer, treated him for cholera morbus, al¬ though the symptoms of ills case were, in some respects, very peculiar, and baffled tlieir skill to assign them to tbe proper cause. At one o'clock the pains left him, and be began to sink rapidly into a condition of comn. Two hours later, despite tbe best ellbrts of medical men to save bim, Mr. CNeill pasaed away. Satislled that tbe cause of bis death was one t'jat no medicines could have removed, the physiciaus at once de¬ termined upon holding a post mortem examination of the body. They found every orgau in the heallbicst condition, but discovered, while makiug a close examination of the stomach, that tbe intestines had been cut hy a small' bit of .oyster shell aud tbeir contents allowed to escape through the opeuing. The shell bad evidently been iu the stomach but ashort time, and had, no doubt, been unconschusly swallowed by Mr. O'Neill while takiug bis even¬ ing lunch. Instances of death form tbis cause are extremely rare. Tlielast tb whicb atteutlou haa been called was thatof Ssrgeant Babcock of tbe New York police fotce, whose intestines liad in a aimilar way been preforated by a cherry pit which he had accidentally swallow¬ ed.

MY OLD TTMBKELL-A..
I alwuya i)riiled myself ou the natti- uess of iny appearautio before I was married ; ami if tlieie was oue particu¬ lar lUiug wbicli I likeil to bave stylish it was my umbrella. Tbe best silk and liilest fiauie.s were baldly good enough, aud my umbrella was generally about us slim aud nicely shaped as a cane; so much so that ISrown used to chad' me (Continually about its appearance and say i t was a bachelor's umbrella— bis being aliuust the size of Mrs. Gamp's.
It was three years ago tbis-mantb, aud the weather wasevidently in a very sorrowful mood, for it just poured' all day long, something like the cats and dogs whicii auntie always uses as a simile wheu it raius very hard. I had to leave tbe ollice a uumber of times duriug theday, and about two ©'clock went to the bank to get a check cashed; and of coursemy umbrella, not this one, was iu constant use. There were some dozen persons waitiug in a liue at the couuter, and I had to wait also. Wait¬ ing there in a damp room wasn't very agreeable; but I just bung myumbrella . on the edge of the counter till I had done, and just there I lost it, for wben I got tbe casb I had forgotten tbe um¬ brella aud left the bank witbout it.
When""! reached the street I missed it, and back I posted; butit was goue —where, by whom taken, or how, I never found out; but banging to the count^^ instead was an old dilapidated looking thing made of blue cotton. It was enough to make me shower left-hauded blessi ngs on tbe party who had made the exchange; but here, by the way, I might just as well observe that it was really a blessing to me, only in disguise.
As the rain poured in torrents, I just made the best of the matter, and stalked into the street as apparently uncon¬ cerned as possible—me, thenatty Thorn¬ ton, as my chums called me, perambu¬ lating tbose streets where my said friends most do congregate, and under a big cotlon umbrella, large enough to shelter a whole family of seven. Brown met me fust. "Ah!" said he, "got a family now— congratulate you, my boy."
And from him to tbe office, each and every friend I bad seemed to be in tbe street waiting to bail my appearance witha jest or a laugb. Confound it! I was almost mad enough to smash tbe old thing to pieces; but I did'nt, for it rained too hard for auy such foolish¬ ness.
Several times during tbat afternoon I vainly endeavored to borrow or steal another one;' bu t it was of no use; and for home I sta ited with it getting iuto the sam e omnibus with Brown, who at once commenced at me with, "I s'ay, I old fellow, when did it take place?"
Thinking innocence might extricate me from this confounded chaffing, I asked, "What take place ?"
" Wby, you are- mistaken, for I still remaiu my own master, aud am uot compelled to be at home every night at teu, or else suller the discordant diu of li scolding jiartner."
Tbis waa iutended for him, but he shook it off easily, aud gave it back witb avengeauce.
Yes, but beiug as you are, you are mightily put about carrying an um¬ brella more serviceable thau ornamen¬ tal ; whereas I, being married, satisfy myself wilh what I have. Tobeapbi- losopber you must get married, aud who knows but wbat that same um¬ brella may come in service tbeu ?"
I escaped from biui tben, as I had reached the slreet I wanted to get out at; and leaving the omnibus I elevated the umbrella to protect me from tbe pouring raiu. At the coruer, under a shop awuicg, stood two lovely damsels, evideutly wailiug for the rain to cease, for they were without umbrellas.
Over-sensitive iu regard to my ap¬ pearance, I could uot help notice tbe titter as tbey regarded me. And, to tell the truth, there was somewhat of a contrast to laugb jit. Imagine a fash¬ ionably-dressed youug man, rather good-looking, decidedly genteel, and over bia head au euormous old cotton umbrella, and j ou'll see me aa those girls saw me.
I was nettled, put out, and wratliful, but resolved to checktheir mirth at all hazards. Stepping up to them I said, " Ladies, my umbrella is large, and as I see you are wiihout one, can I ofl'er you my services aa far as I go?" men¬ tally resolving tbatif they went further than me roy umbrella should go too.
After whispering for a momeut, one of them replied, "Thank you sir; we would be obliged for your escort."
Ofcourae, we weut aloug I did my best to open a con,ver8ation, and soon bad the pleasure of elibiliug a few words from tbem. They were both ¦very pretty; but theonecalled Mary I thought then was a particularly pleas¬ ing young lady, and instinctively de¬ sired to prolong our walk that we might be better acquainted.
Having reached the street in which
^ dwelt, I turned to Miss Mary and
; said, "I live in this street, and as I see
• yoq are going further, you are welcome
to tbe use of my umbrella, for It is but
9 step to my residence. Vou can return
It at your leisure. Good-day."
And leaving them with the umbrella,
i^ whtch I knew they would never retnrn,
for I purposely did not give them my
address, I ran home, congratulating
myselfat having eo pleasantly dispoaed
of my pest.
iM
Somehow or other Mary's eyes were always in my mind, and Ishould almost have forgotten about the old umbrella ifit were not for the remembrance of her sweet face. After a while I came to the conclusion that I bad actually fallen in love with Mary; but who was Mary and where to find her, I did not know. And theu I.began to wish I had given my addresa, that the umbrella might be returned to me.
Ali this took place iu March. Months paased and I never came across either Mary or tbe umbrella. How I wished or a glimpse of either, I cauuot tell you; but I did—awful!
During September I was down at my frieuil Wyndbam's place, on the sea- coast, for a week or two, and one day h.! ual I weut out fishing in a yach but, noticing a sturm comiug up, at thought we bad better put iuto the bay until it cleared up again.
The sky in the west w.is already black with the rushing clouds advanc¬ ing up the zenith, aud as we passed the point on our way in we uoticed a boat containlug some parties still fi^ihiug perfeotly unconscious ef the rising storm, for the trees ou tho land obsuur ed the western sky, and overhead was still clear. Wyiiilliam called my at- tvuiioh tn thetu.
'' Goo'l gracious !'' exclaimed I, " there's my utnbrtflla! "
"Where?" said Wyudham.
" Wby, there, in that boat, Wyud¬ ham," aaitl I. " I must see the people in that boat come what may."
And turniug tbe yacht arouud we sailed toward llieiii. liut wu bad to sail rouud a considerable distunue; and iu che meautime the jieoide iu Ibe boat bad evidently uoticed the cjming Sturm, for they were pulliug up their anchor.
The umbrella—I was sure it was miue—still remained elevated, so I could uot see who was beneath it; but my poor heart beat a little excitedly, for I hoped it would be Mary.
AVe had nearly reached tbem when tbe windy forerunner of the storm struck the boat and the next moment it was overturned, aud I saw two ladies aud three men struggling iu the water, one of tnem clutching tightly lo tbe umbrella, wbose strong ribs aelually made a sort of halloon of it and buoyed ber up, while tbe wiud carried her away from the otbers.
"Wyudham!" shouted I, "you pick up the others, and I'll look after this one."
And tearing ofl" my boots and coat, I sprang into the water, and swam raoid- ly toward her, tbe wind at the same time carrying ber toward uje. She was terribly frightened, but, seeing me, slie seemed to take a little courage, and ex¬ claimed:
"Save me, sir! Oh what shall I do?"
Without regarding ber questions, I grasped her under the arms, and told ber to let go tbe umbrella, aud trust heraelf to me.
"Xow," said I, "dou't touch me aud weare all right."
And being an excellent swimmer I paddled along with my feet, and push¬ ed her in frout of me witb my arms, tbe umberella in the meantime takiug journey into the air. All tbis took less tban two minutes; aud I saw witb pleasure tbat Wyudham, had been equally prompt, and bad rescued the other lady, aud two of the gentleman
did, only wishing that Graham was in my place, and I iu his.
After a while I noticed old Tom Hayes, the fisherman, launching bis boat from the point, going ofT for an afternoon's fishing, and Graham seeihs tbe ssme, it suddenly struck bim that he had promised to so with the old mad tbat afternoon; so, begging tbe young lady's leave, be placed her once more under my escort with the um¬ brella, and I ueeil not tell you tbe result, for here comes Mary, and she would be angry If sho knew that I had been divulging our love aiTaira, eveu to lell the story of our old blue cotton umbrella.
SHOOTING TES A70STLES.
Afler the city of Mexico bad surren¬ dered 10 General Scolt, it ia well known that tbe troops were obliged to win their way from bouse to bouse, and streel lo street, until they expelled tbe remnant ot the Mexican army, wbioh disputed every inch of ground from tho gates of the city to tbe palaces. The 2J Regiment United Statea In¬ fantry, under command of Col. Kiley, were gaining ground step by, uuder a hot lire fronl house-tops aud church steeple.M, wben Pat Lullony, a private lu Company F, made a daah aud in- treucbed himself in a doorway (the doorways are large, wilh heavy pro- ectiHg jams) a full balf square in ad¬ vance of his compauy, aud commenced a spirited lire.
Wben he had lired five shots he was joined by a comrade just as be wuapre- pating for tbe sixth rouud, who asked bim what he was firing at aud desired
"chanceiu."
"Hist!" says Pat, "wait till I fetch anotber of the bla'guards. I have done tbe business for five of'em, and tbere is anotber waiting to be served tlie same sauce."
Bang! went liia sixth shot, wben his comrade, together wilh two others who liad now joined them, exploded with laughter.
" Wbat in the devil's name be yees laughing at, at all ?" says Pat. "Bure didn't I fix bis flint uice enough? aud, by the power! there is another spalpeen just stepped in bis place, aud waiting for a dose," ramming bis carriage home wilh energy.
"Stop, Pat," aaid hi.s comrade; "don't you see you are firing at the Apostles ?"
"An' is it the Apoahtles, is it? Ifow may the bowly St. Petber forgive me !" exclaimed Pat, his eyes opeuiug like two saucers as he made the discovery that he had beeu firing on two life- sized statues cf St. Peter and St. Paul, which stood ou eacb side of a church door about musket-shot down tbe street. Pat had hit St. Peter six times, t was a standing joke against him, and he never beard tbe last of it aa long as he remained in tbe regiment.
LOSS OF THE DECLAB&TIOH OF INDE- FENDEKCE.
A correspondence of Ibe Washington jSar writes:
The origiual manuscript of the De¬ claration of Independence ia rapidly fading away, aud, judging from the past, but a few years will elapse before the naked parchment will be the only aouvenoir reniaining of ibat bold man'-
ifesto of a few colonists, who, with the other having swam ashore, and t^eir lives in their handa, dared pro- was now sailing toward us, the wind claim themselves freemen. Already
price of iron, should clearly understai-ul that they cannot obtain relief froiii abroad, but must find it in the develop¬ ment of some manufacture. 'The dis¬ position ofCongress tomeddle with du¬ ties, is of course discouraging, but it' should be remembered tbatthe duties on irtin is now lower thau it baa been the present century, and so it is plain that further reductions would be a mere gift to English mautiiaclurers, of money whicii belongs lo the revenues, that no considerable uumber of Con¬ gressmen will have indet-t-iicy to advo¬ cate it.
The higb price of iron abroad ia like¬ ly to have permanently beneficial-re¬ sults ill 'his country, as it boa enubled JUnglish workingmen to obtaiu better wages, an advantage whieh they will uot surrender, eveu upon a change iu the trade, wiihout a struggle. Oue of the priueipal dnties which this country now owes to itself uud the world, is to make more iron, 'riie mauufacture bas been pressed to the limit of its capacity iu England, aud unleas it advances here there must be decreased consump¬ tion elsewhere. Vast fields of coal and irou are iu tbe southern and westeru Statea lyiug undeveloped, and in the middle States, where the manufac¬ ture is now successful, additional capi¬ tal may be employed witb profit. Itis true that the business in the past has been precarious and unremuueralivc, but the conditions seem to be so mater¬ ially and permanently changed tbat an assured and brilliant future aivails Americau industry.
ALWAYS ITEAT.
Some folks are very charming at eveu¬ iug parties, but surprise them in the morniug, wheu not looking for com- pauy,->aud the enchantment is gone. There ia good sense in the following ad¬ vice to youug ladies:
"Your every day toilet is part of your character. A girl who looks lil^e a 'fury' or.a 'sloven' in tlio morning, is not to be trusted, however finely she may look in the evening. No matter bow bumble your-room may be, there are things it should contaiu—a mirror, washstaud, soap, towel, comb, bair brush, nail brnsb, aud tooth- brush. These are just as essential as your breakfast, before which you should makegood use of tbem. Parents who fail to provide most of their children with such apjiliauces, not only make a great mistake, but commit a siu of omission.
"Look tidy in the morning, and after dinner work is over improve your toilet. Make it a rule of your daily life to 'dress up.' for tbo afternoon. Your dress mtiy not! and need not be any better tban calico, but witb a ribbon or some bit of orjiament, you cau bave ou air of self-respect and sat- i-ifactiou that invariably comes with beiug well dressed.
"A girl witb fine sensibilities caunot help feeling embarrassed and awkward iu K ragged aud dirty dress, witb ber hair unkerapt, abould a atranger or neighbor come iu. Moreover your self- respect should demau:l the decent ap¬ pareling of your body. You should make it a point to look as well aa you cau, eveu if you kuow nobody will see you but Yourself.'-"

" Haul down tbose sails," he cried to tbe two men, "or we'll pass them."
The men were equal in promptitude, and the sails came down to the mast. and flapped over the side, uearly up¬ setting tbe yacht, but at the same time impending its speed, so that tbe lady and I were easily pulled aboard. Of course, ahe fainted after the danger waa over; and, ofcourae, ahe proved to be Mary of the umbrella; and, ofcourae, again, I had the pleasure of making ber acquaintauce; whioh, of course, I did not fail to improve; and, of course, I fell more in love thau ever.
Well, things were in tbia atate for some weeks, aud at last I thought the time bad come when I would learn my destiny from her lips; so telling Wynd- bam I was going away for a stroll to take a few sketches—thiugs I knew he abominated—I just walked over to Mr. Graham's house—that waa Mary's fatber—hoping to meet her alone. I Takiug a shady wood palh which led I up to the rear of the bouse, I stalked along for some distauce, thinking of what I waa about to do, when happen¬ ing to glance up, I uoticed on the roeka of tbe shore my inevitable cotton um¬ brella expanded iu all its glory.
That umbrella haunted me theu, and I preaaged evil from its appearance; but, nevertheless, I weut toward it, think¬ ing, of course, that the wiud aud tide bad driven it ashore, which they had, but not juat there.
There it lay, wide open, its top toward rae; aud wben I reacbed it I seized it by the projection of the stick and lifted it toward ine.
Ey Jove! when I think of the result I almost wouder how I got through it at all; for, as I lifted the umbrella what was behind aud under it waa revealed; and there comfortably seated on the rock, was my Mary aud a deuced good lookiug young fellow. If I waa as¬ tounded, they were about as mucb surprised. Mary blushed, and looked at me as if lo reproach me for such an ungeutleniaoly action ; whiletheyoung fellow looked as if he was about lo eat me up, aud muttered, " What d'ye mean sir?"
"I beg pardon. Miss Graham," I stammered. "By seeing thia umbrella, to which I have a alight claim, aud not noticing its occupation by any one, of course I thought I waa recovering a lost article of my own."
"Ob, tben," salt! Miss Mary, "you are tbe gentlemau who leut us the um¬ brella so kindly, aome monthsago, in Loudon ? Harry, thia is Jane's^ud my Don'tyou remember?"
nearly all tbe signatures are entirely eflfaced, and the rest eanuot last much longer, unless somiithing is done to re¬ store the writing.
The sacred Declaration, together with George Washington's commission as "General and Commander-iu-Chief of the Colonial Army," wbich is in about tbe same condition, have beeu for yeara on exhibitiou in thePateutOffice, and it is a matler of surprise that uo effort has been made by the Govern¬ meut to save them from being lost forever to posterity. Tbis is sus¬ ceptible of beiug done, as we are credibly informed that the British Museum is constantly restoring old manuscripts to their almost original condition. Do we not possess like knowledge whicii cau be put to such valuable uae?
Here is an opportuuity for our Amer¬ ican scientists to distinguish them¬ selves,.and we trust they will signify the ability aud willingness aa publicly OS tbis urgent request is made.

This familiarity may have been pleasing to Harry but it by no means followed tbat it was to me; so I re¬ marked, aa coldly as possible, " Misa Graham, I again beg your pardon for the interruption; and as the umbrella ia pleasautfor your use, allow me the pleasure of transferring the ownership to you."
" Gentlemen," abe said, "allow me to introduce you to each other. Mr. Thorton, thia is ray cousin, Mr. Harry Graham, brother to the young lady wbo waa with me that day. Harry. Mr. -Thorton, the gentleman who saved my life the other day."
Did she uot '^accent" cousin pretty strongly? I thought she did, at least; and it made mo take heart, and act more pleasantly; and in five minutes I had the pleasure of finding that though the young lady waa on tbe freest terms with Graham, itwas only on account of the relationship between them.
To explain my appearance, I gave the same excuse aa i had to Wyndham, and waa forthwith put to work to make a: sketch of the umbrella, and with theta beneath It; whioh, of course, I
KNOCKED ABOUT IN THE WOKLD.
It Is agood thiug for a young mau to be "kuocked about iu the world," though his soft-hearted parents may not think so. All youths, or, if not all, certainly nineteeu-tweutieths of the sum total, .enter life witli a surplusage of self-conceit. If, in measuring themselves with wiser and older men than tbey are, they discover that it is unwarranted, and get rid of it gracefully, of Ibeirownaccord, welland good; if not, it is dealrable, for their own sakes, that it be khocketl out of them.
A boy wbo is seut to a large school soon finds his level. His will may have been paramouut at home; but achool-boya are democratic in tbeir ideas, and, if arrogant, are sure to be thrashed into a lecogniiion of tbe golden rule. Tbe world is a great pub¬ lic school, and it aoon teaches a new pupil bis proper place. Ifhe haa the at¬ tributes that belongs to a leader, be will be installed iu the position of aleailer; if not, whatever his own opinion of his abilities may be, he will be compelled to fall in with therank and file. Ifuot destined to greatueas, the uext best thing to which he can aspire, is respectability; but no man can either be truly great or respectable, who is vain, pompous and overbearing.
By the lime the novice bas found his legitimate social position, be the aame high or low, the probability ia tbat the disagreeable traits of hia character will be softened down or worn away. Most likely tbe process of abrasion will be rough,- perhapa very rough; but wbeu it ia all over and he begins to see himself aa others aee him, and not re¬ fiected in tbe mirror of self-conceit, he will he than'Kful tbat he haa run the gauullet, and arrived, Ibough by a rough road, at self-knowledge. Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers may think to the contrary, it is a good thiug for youths to be knocked about iu the world—it makes men of them.
DEAIH IN AN OYSISEE SHELL.
James O'Neill, ex-member of Assem¬ bly frora the Kintli waril, New Y'ork, and chief clerk of the E.tcise Board, came to bis death in a mauner aa sin¬ gular as it was painful. At teu o'clock ou Friday eveniug be sauntered out from his residence, in Greenwich street, aud after making a light luuch of a few raw oysters, re¬ turueil home anil retired to rest. About midnight he wus awakened from his aleep by severe paina in the stomach. Physicians were summoned, und thoy having learned that the pa¬ tient had eaten cucumbers at dinuer, treated him for cholera morbus, al¬ though the symptoms of ills case were, in some respects, very peculiar, and baffled tlieir skill to assign them to tbe proper cause. At one o'clock the pains left him, and be began to sink rapidly into a condition of comn. Two hours later, despite tbe best ellbrts of medical men to save bim, Mr. CNeill pasaed away.
Satislled that tbe cause of bis death was one t'jat no medicines could have removed, the physiciaus at once de¬ termined upon holding a post mortem examination of the body. They found every orgau in the heallbicst condition, but discovered, while makiug a close examination of the stomach, that tbe intestines had been cut hy a small' bit of .oyster shell aud tbeir contents allowed to escape through the opeuing. The shell bad evidently been iu the stomach but ashort time, and had, no doubt, been unconschusly swallowed by Mr. O'Neill while takiug bis even¬ ing lunch.
Instances of death form tbis cause are extremely rare. Tlielast tb whicb atteutlou haa been called was thatof Ssrgeant Babcock of tbe New York police fotce, whose intestines liad in a aimilar way been preforated by a cherry pit which he had accidentally swallow¬ ed.
