One evening in the second week of Nov ember, 1803, Orirrmldi, when playing nt Drnry Lane, hftrl lieen cillecl on by the prompter, anil wits passing from the fjreen niom to the stage, when a messenger informed him that two gentleman were waiting to see him nt the utage " door. . Afraid of keeping the stage waiting, he en - joined the. messenger to tell the gentlemen that he wail engaged at that moment, but ' tint he would come down to them directly when he left tho.stae. The play was VA Bold Stroke-for a 'Wife." Miss Melon was , A?nif; Bannister. Feignattt: Atkin, Smon Vnrt; and Grimaldi Anmacft6; As soon as he could get away from the stage he hurried down stairs, and inquiring who wanted him, was introduced to two strangers. They were yonng men of gen tlemanly appearance and upon hearing the words, ''Here's Mr. Grimaldi who wants him?" one of them turned hastily around and accosted him. He looked about his own ago, and had evidently been accnatomed to a mnch warm er climate than that of England. He wore the fashionable evening dress of the dny that is to any, a blue bodycoat with gilt buttons, and white waistcoat,, and tight ' pantaloons, and crnried in bis hand a Bmali gold-headed cane. 'Joe, my lad," eiclniinod the person, holding out his hand in some agitation, "how goes it with you old fellow?" He was not a little surprised at this famil iar address from a person whom he was not conscious of ever having seen inhis life, and uftora moments pause, replied that he really had not the pleasure of the strangers ac quaintance. "Not the pleasure of my acquaintance,'1 repeated the stranger with a loud laugh; . "weUJoe, that Seems funny anyhow." He appealed to his companion, who concurred in the opinion, and they berth laughed heartily. This was all very funny to the strangers, but not at all so to Grimaldi; he had a vague idea that they were rather laughing at than with him, and as mnch offended as surprised, was turning away, when the person who had spoke first said, in a rather tremulons voice: "Joe. dou't you know me now !" . He turned aud gazed at him again. He had opened his shirt, and was pointing to a scar upon bis breast, the sight of which at once assured him that it was no other . than his brother who stood before him J his only brother, who had disappeared many years ago. They were naturally much affected by this meeting, especially the elder brother, who had been so suddenly summoned into the presence of the near relative whom, long ago, he had given np for lost They embraced again and again, and gave vent to their feelings in tears. "Come up stairs," said Grimaldi, as soon as the snrprise was over. "Mr, Wrough tou is there Mr. Wroughton, who was the means of your going to sea. he'll be de , lighted to see you." The brothers were hurrying away, when their friend, whose presence they had quite forgotten in their emotion said: "Well, John, then I'll wish you good night." "Good night! good night!" said the other, Bhaking bis hand; I'll see you in the morning." "Yes." replied the friend, "at ten mind." "At ten precisely; I shall not forijet." an . swered John. The friend, to whom he had not introdu ced his brother in any way, departed and they went npon the stage together to Pow ell, Eauinter, Wroughton, and many others in the green-room, who, attracted by the singularity of his return, tinder snch cir cumstances, had collected around him. Having his stage business to attend to, he had very little time tor conversation, but of course he arailed himself of every moment that he could spare off the stage. In an an swer toliis inquiries his brother assured him thut his trip had been eminently successful. "At this moment," he said, slapping his breast pocket: "I have t)(X) here." "Why, John," said his brother, "It's very dangerous to' carry so mnch money about you." . . i ' "Dangerous !'' replied John smiling, "we sailors know nothing abont danger- But, my lad, even if all things were gone, ' I could not be penniless." and he gave a knowing wink, which induced his brother to believe thut he had, indeed, made a good trip of it, ; , . . At tlrin moment Grimaldi was again called npon the stage; and Mr. Wroughton taking that opportunity of talking to his brother, made mauy kind iuqniries of him relative to bis. success and the state of his finances. In reply to these questions he made in effect the (Bine statements as he had already eoniuianicated to Joseph, and exhibited, as evidence of the truth of his declarations, a coarse canvas bag stuffed full of Various coins, which he carefully replaced in his As soon as the comedy wbs ended, Grim aldi joined him ; and Mr. Wroughton having congratulated nis brother on his return and the fortunate issue of bis adventure, bade them good night, when Grimaldi took occa sion to ask how long the sailor had beon in town. He replied, two or three honrs back: that he had merely tarried to get some din ner, and had come straight to the theatre. In answer to Inquiries relative to what he intended doing, he said he had not bestow d a thought apon the matter, and the only topic which had occupied his mind waa his anxiety to see his mother and brother. A long and affectionate conversation ensued. i in the oonrse of which it was t-rorioed bv ,1.1.-11 that, as hia mntlia 1 ; J : , L. 1. : ' self and wife, and they had a larger house than ttiey required, the brother should inin tliin. and thev should all live together. To this the brother most gladfully and joy fully awwnted; aud, adding bt he-must see bis mother that night, or bis anxiety would not suiter him to sleep, asked where sna urea. "Grimalili gave hun the address directly, but as he did not play in the after-piece, said that he had done for the night, and said that it he would wait while he changed hia dress, he would go with him. His brother ran, of course, glad to hear there was no necessity for them to separate, and Grimaldi hurried away to his drtssing-room, leaving him on the stage. ,. . , The agitation of his feelings, the sudden ness of his brother's return, the good fortune wmcn cad attended mm in nis absence, the gentility of his appearanoe. aud his possession of so much money, altogether confused him bo that he could scarcely me his hands. He stood still every now and then quite lost in wonder, and then suddenly recollecting that his brother was waiting, looked over the. room again aud agaiu for articles of dress that were lying before him. At length, after occupying a mnch longe time than usual changing his chess, he waa ready, aitd ran down to the stage. , On his way, hb met Powell, who heartily congratulated him on the return of bis relntive, makmgabout tie thirtieth, who bad been ibid enough to do so already. Grimaldi asked him, more from uervouxuesa than iufoi million, if he had seen him lately. , i "Not a minute ago," was the replW "he is waiting for yon upon the stage. I won't detain you, for he complains that you have been longer away now tnan you aaia yqn would be. " .'. i !.., i I Grimaldi hurried down stairs to the Bpot where he had let! his. brother, ' He was not there. . "Who are you looking for, Joe ?" inquir ed .Bannister, as ne saw nun looaing eager ly abont. "For my brother," he answered; 'I left him here a little while back. "Well, and I saw and spoke to him not a minute ago, said liaunmter. "Wnen ne lett me he went in that direction (pointing toward the passage that led to the stage door. ) "I should think he had left the thea tre." Grimaldi ran np to the Btage door and asked the porter it his brotner Had passed. The muu said he had, not a minute back; he could not have got out of the street by that time. Ha ran out at the door, and then up and down the street several times, but saw nothing of hiin. Where could he be gone to? Posanbly, finding hiin longer gone than ho had anticipated he might have stepped out to call npon one of his old friends close bv. whom ho liad not seen inr mauy years, with the intention of returning to the the atre. This was not nnlikelybt; in the immediate neighborhood there lives a Mr. Bowlty, who had been his bosom friond when they were boys. The idea no sooner struck Gi'imaldi than he ran to the house aud kuocked hastily at the door. The man himself answered the knock; and was evi dently greatly snrprised. "I have, indeed seen yonr brother," he said in reply to Grlmaldi's question. "Good God, I never was so amazed in all my life." ' - . "Is he here now ?" was the very auxions inquiry. "No; bnt he has not been gone aminute. He cannot have gone many yards." "Which way?"' "That way, towards Duke Street-" ' He niUHt havegone, thought Grimaldi, to call on Mr. Bailey, our landlord. He hur ried away to the house in Great Wild street, and knocked long and loudly at the door. The people were asleep. He knocked again and again and rang violently, being in a state of great excitement. At length the servant girl thrust her head ont of an upper story window and said both sulkily and sleepy, "l tell you again he is not, heme." '.AVhat are you talking about. Who is not at home?" . . ' -: "Why, Mr. Bailey, I told yon so before. What do you keep on knocking for at this time of night !" He could not understand a word of all this, bnt hurriedly told his name, and re quested the girl to come down directly for he wished to speak to her. The head was directly withdiawn, the window closed, and in a miuute or two afterwards the girl ap peared at the street door. "I ain,snre I beg yonr pardon, sir," she SBid, after pouring forth a volume of apol ogies, "but there was a gentleman knock ing and -ringing violently not a minute before you come. I told him Mr. Bailey was not at home, and when I heard yos at the door, I thought it was him and that he would not go away." Grimaldi was breathless at the speed he had made, and trembling with vague appre hensions of he knew not what. The girl, surprised at his emotion, replied, "that she had only answered bini from the window, being afraid to open the door to a stranger so long after dark, when all the family were out." The only tiling she had noticed was that he had a white waistcoat on; for she had thought at that, seeing him dressed, that perhaps he might have called to take her master to the party. "He must have gone back to the tneatre. He left the surprised girl standing at the door, and ran to. Drury Lane. Here again he was disappointed. He had not been seen. He run from place to place, and from house to house, wherever he thought it possible his brother could have called, hut nobody had heard of or seen hiin. Many of the persons to whom he appeared openly expressed their doubts to each other of his sanity of mind, which were really not without a shadow of probability, seeing that he knocked them out of their beds, and with every appearance of agitation and wildness, demanded if they had Been his brother, whom nobody had heard of for fourteen years, and whom most of them considered dead. It was so kite now that the theatre was just shutting up, but be ran back once more, and agaiu inquired it nis brotner had been there. Hearing he had not, he concluded that, recollecting the address be had mentioned, he had gone straight to his mother's home; this seemed probable, and yet he felt a degree of dismay and alarm which he had never before experienced, even when there was good grounds for such feelings. ' The more he thought of this, however, the more probable it seemed, and he blam ed himaelf as he walked homeward for not having thought of it sooner. He remem bered the anxiety his brother had express ed to see his mother, the plan they had dis eased for all being together, and the many little schemes for future happiness which they had talked over in their hurried inter view, and in all of which he was comprom ised. He reached home, aud composing himself as well as he could, entered the little room in which she tupped after the play. His brother was not there; but his mother was, and,, as he looked up, paler thiui nmial, he thought she had seen him. Well, mother, he said, "has anything strange occurred here to-uight?" nu, M'lMHUts unit a lime m-aiu ui. What ! uo stranger arrived; no long lost relative recovered?" exclaimed Grimaldi, all bis former apprehensions returning. "What do you mean t , "Mean ! Why, that John has come home safe and well, and with money enough to make all our fortunes." His mother screeched wildly at this in telligence, and fainted. She recovered af ter a time, and unmaidi recounted to ner and his wife the events of the evening pre- ciny as they are here narrated. They were tfreatly amazed at the recital. The mother held that he would be sure to come berore the night was over; that he had probably met with some of his old friends, and would be there after he had left them. She insisted that Grimaldi, who was tired should go to bed, while she sat tip and waited for her son. - He did so, and the mother remained all through the long win ter night anxiously awaiting his arrival. Thut may appear a long story, bnt it conclusion invests it with a degree of inter est which warrants the details. The run ning away to sea of a yonng man, and his return alter a lapse of years, is, and has ever been, no novelty in this island, This is not the burden of the tale , It possessed an awful interest to those whom it immedi ately concerned, and cannot fail to have - -i . ... -a- ?ae ... some tor tne mosirnainereni reauer. ,t ( From that night in November, 1803, to this mouth in January, 1838. the missing man was never seen again, nor was any in- telngencew any clue or the rainiest or most remote description ever obtained by his friends respecting him. Next morning, and many mornings after wards, the mother still anxiously aud hope fully expected the arrival of her son. Again ami again did she question Grimaldi about him; again and again was every miuute faot recalled and every possible conjecture haaarded relative to his fate. He could scarculv rwrsuade himself but ..that the events of the preceding night were delu sion of his brain, until the inquiries after his brother, which were made by those-who had seen him the night previous, placed them beyond all doubt. Ho communicated to his friends the strange history' of the past fow hours, with all the circumstances of his brother's sadden disappeatnuco. He was advised to wait awhile before he made the circumstances public,- in thttaiope that he might have been induced td spend tne night with some shipmates, , and might apeeduy return. , But a week passed away, and then fur ther Bilence would have been arirainaL and be proceeded to set on foot every , inqiury which bis own mind Could 8ugge.il or the kiud'uess of hia friends DroruAl them to ad- vise. A powerful nobleman who at that time used to visit Drury Lane Theatre, and who on many occasions expressed hi favo rable opinion of Grimaldi, interested him self greatly in the matter, aud set on fynt a series o( inquiries at the Admiralty; eve ry source of information possessed by that, establishment that was deemed at an liKe ly to throw any Ught on the Bubject waa resorted to, but in vain; the newspapers were searched to ascertain what ships bad arrived in the river or upon the coast that day, whence they came, what crews they carried, and what passengers they had; the polic were paid to search all London through, and endeavor to gain some infor mation, if it were only of the lost man's death. Everything was tried by the fami ly and bv many nowernu mends wnom tne inoniry raised up about them, to trace the .object of their regret and labor, but all in vain. Tne sailor was seen no more. Extensive Insurance Swindling—Five Bogus Companies. [From the N. Y. Sun, Aug. 31.] Several insurance companies have lately sprung up in Jersey City, and like ill weeds have grown. apao. . They were doing a roarinc trade on little or no capital. It seems that in the latter part of 1867 a man named Logan bought np a number of old charters and started companies, one in the fall of luitt vear, and several others in the spring of this year. They were styled the "Mariners," the "Merchants'," the "Me chanics'," the "Firemens'," and the "First itrttiomU. Othces were opened in change place, and the ventures set afloat There was no lack of energy. -and enter prise. Agents were sent into every state from Maine- to Minnesota, and policies were taken to a large extent. - The public had no suspicion that these companies were in any way oonnected with each other, or that they were anything but sound institutions. It is a noteworthy fact that no policies of large amount were issu ed in Jersey City or New York; bnt in the Eastern and Western States, where the peo ple had no opportunity to investigate the concerns, thev were taken in and done tor. It is alleged tiiat one of these compauies, the "Mariners'," had issned policies to the amount of $650,000, and the others to amounts ranging from $104,000 to $400, 000, the total being over a million of dol law.' The profits of the "Mariners' " arc calculated at 813,000. -; The manner in which the cash capital was procured to sansly the. uovernment ofticers.' whose duty it was to inspect such concerns, -was unique. , An arrangement was made with a - New York money lender to send his clerk over with bonds amount ing to tlOO, 000, and these borrowed bonds were shown to the officers and immediately taken back to New York by the clerk. For this service the managers of the "Mari ners' " agreed to pay $2,C00, but failed to meet the demand at the proper time. The consequence was that a suit was brought against the company, and an attachment procured against the office furniture. It takes, however, one knave to outwit an other, and before the effects were levied upon by tne money lender one of the clerks in the office had the same effects levied upon t? satisfy the demand of his bill for salary. The office was closed two weeks ago, since which no officers of the institu tion can be found. Associated with Mr. Logan were, it is al leged, two relatives of his wife bearing the name of Candee; and his wife's brother, named Alexander. These men acted in the capacity of officers of tho institutions, the two former as Presidents aud the latter as Secretary. Innocent persons were en trapped into the scheme. Thus, it is stated that an honest, hard-working man named McElery, who kept a store in York street, was offered bOO a year for acting as President of one of the companies, he beir. informed at the time that he would be only reqnired to sign his name to the policies. Me accepted tne position, ana was kept busy for several days signing policies in advauce, as the parties who inveigled him into the scheme were evidently afraid he would smell a rat and back out. It was not long before his suspicions were aroused by a gentleman warning him that if he held the position when, the company burnt up he would be held responsible, and very likely be sent to state prison. This was enough. One morning he was non e(. He took tright and ran away to Philadelphia. The names of two respectable and respon sible residents of Jersey City were an nonnccd in cards as directors of one of the concerns. The gentlemen referred to went to the office, demanded the cards, which they got, and took home and burned, warn ing the officials not to take the liberty of nsing their names again. It is stated "that the charters were renewed at Trenton through political influence brought to bear npon tne legislature. No losses were ever paid by these coin- Jianies as far as can be ascertained, at east none of any magnitude. They did not, it seems, condescend to pav their honest debts. One of them had in use a safe on which $100 had been raid. The owners of the article sued out an attach ment for the balance, but before the effects could be levied upon one of the clerks, as in tbe case ot tne Manner s, had obtained a previous attachment for his salary. Mr. ljogaa was modest, and. never ap peared as principal in any of the concerns. He was generally to be found at the First National, where he assumed the. simuU role of agent, and as such transacted busi ness. When the Presidents were inquired for, some evasive answer was given. He was at Long Branch, or Saratoga, ot any place else, no matter where. No respon sible officer could ever be found. About two weeks ago a.fire took place in Banks BtreeL Jersey City. ' The buildiwt was in sured in the Mariners', but when the poli cy bolder went for his money, the officers were nowhere to be found. Many losses in the country were also sent in for ad justment, but it is alleged nono were at tended to. A short time since, a clerk iir' the em! ploy of one of the companies was sent to jail for three months on account of having attempted, during a quarrel, to take anoth er man s me. nis time was up last weeK, and on returning to Jersey City and finding the "Mariners" shut np, be began to tell what he knew of the internal working of the other offices. This agreed with other accounts. .Another yonng man come from Chicago and held a position in another office for some time, until he found out that nil was not riuht when he left. The agents of these companies are still at large. Probably many of them are un der the impression that they are working for safe institntions and art sincere is their efforts to push trade, although they there by-victimize the public. " Person's in tls country should' be on the lookout for these parties, and be careful abont accepting poli cies from campanies bearing. Hit . above names or bailing from Jenny City, i There are' aome sound, insurance iompaoies in the city, concerns which have beu long established and widely known. Of snch are the Jetey City,, the StaW, trie New Jer sey, and the Hudson Uranty Mutual com panies. fl r: " "'i "f 'r ' Agricultural. FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.

The oiuNUit'cui.TORE nt Florida is even greater and more important than is ex pressed in the report of the Agricultural Bureau. From 75,000 to 100,000 orange trees were set out last year,- of which 30,- uoo were planted out on r lint Kiver alone and, in 1865 and 1800, at least 50,000 were transplanted and budded in East and Mid dle Florida. The price, instead of being from fifteen to twenty dollars a thousand on the trees, as stated, should have been twenty-ttve to thirty dollars, and some choice lots sold as high as thirty-five dol lars. The orange grows wild all over Flor ida, and (rood trees, when transplanted and budded, bear 500 to 2,500 sweet oranges eacb. New Sr.EDi.rNa Hop.

As the soil is kept stirred daring the summer, it requires no extra preparation of the land ti put it in order for this crop; once going through witb tne cultivator is an tbat is needed, besides scattering the seed to se cure a good yield. The corn is gathered during the winter, and m the' spring the stalks are cnt down with a grubbing hoe, or a tobacco knife. Winter killing is un known where wheat is raised in this man ner, as the stalks of corn afford ample pro tection against the oold winds. ' When to Shut vr Pigs fob Fattenino. If the pens ore furnished with shelter and with water, we el Id gay, begin in Au gust, a poana or port is made mucn more economically in warm weather, than in cold. Little food is wasted in keeping up the animal heat, and many green arti cles are available which are out of season late in the fall. Swine enjoy fresh clover, fed every day with their cooked corn or provender. Sweet corn ought to be raised for tho purpose of feeding in the green state to swine. It greatly promotes thoir thrill, and, we have thought, makes flesh as economically as any food that can be given. Eablv Fattenino of Hoos.

How to Grow Laroe Fruit. Fruit that hangs pendant from the twig may be made to attain a size much larger than the ordinary, by giving them a support, which may be easily done by enclosing thorn in a little net and attaching it to the limb above. In this way, the strain is removed from the stem of the fruit, aud the sap more readily passeB through it. Tbe ran tefliil of the net. too. retains the dew and rain and gives off moisture to the skin of the unit, causing it to expand easily as the irocess of enlargement goes on. In Scot and, where great attention is paid to the cultivation of the gooseberry, amateurs place the separate berries in a little vessel of water tbat is supported from below, and in tiiis way make them attain a most re markable size. We would not recommend this practice for general use to those who have large orchards or even extensive gooselierry patches; but it Will pay to treat few specimens in this manner to be ex hibited at fairs or as curiosities to see how large they con grow. iVairie; Farmer1. ' ' The Cows ron Farmers. The fonowine from the New England Homestead is ex actly to the point, and we' reprint it with pleasure in the hope that it may be gener ally read .: , i What are the qualities necessary to con stitute a good cow ? A good milker alone does not. in our judgment, constitute a good cow ; neither does a good breeder, nor good feeder.- It is these three qualities combined that make the cow. Give us a cow that is good for milk, quality as well as quaatity considered, that when properly bred to oood bulls, will invariably produce good calves, and one that when jinea oi her milk, will, with proper care and atten tion, take on flesh rapidly and evenly, and for one we rest for a while at least, satisfied. And till we cau raise np an entire breed Of cows, each one orwbicb sball possess inese excellencies, our aim shall be to advance in improvement till we cau accomplish our object. To possess the first of these qualities, a cow should have a fine head, a little wide nhnva the eves, bnt Quite small below, and appear somewhat long.

The" American Agri culturist, for August, confaius the follow ing: j 1' it : ! : ; ''Prof. 'Miles has been making some ex periments in feeding grade Merino sheep, grade South Downs, aud grade Ctitswolds. The M.'rinos and Cotawolda were lambs, aud the South Downs yearling . The former two, therefore, giye results that are strictly comparative; the' latter not These grade lambs are from common Merino ewes, crossed in the one case with thor oughbred Vermont Mriii(i ran), And in the other With a thoroughbred, Cotswold.- What dri you mean,', I asked Prof.: Miles, by common Merino ewes?' ATlie ordinary kind of sheep iu this- section; such sheep as could have been bought here last fall for 75o uTtl.OU A head.' Ths lamb? were shut up in pens December l'Jth, and fed corn and clover J)ay., for 22 Voeks, or, till the 15th of Mayf A the-' commence ment of ' theV experiment the two-grade Merino-lambs weighed. 1254 lbs., (one 70 lbs, ; ihe other 5oj lbs.) The two grade Cotswolds weighed ' 139 lbs., (one 86 lbs. ; the other 72 lbs.) , "The Merinos eat 32T HS.,' 6( bay,, and. UDs. or corn, and gamed obs lbs. lbe Cotswolds eat 398 lbs. of hay, and 363 lbs. of corn, and gained 7i lbs. A little fig uring will show that it took 1,572 Jba. of hay and corn to produce 100 lbs. increase with the Merinos, and only 1,136 lbs. with the Cotswolds. f "Prof. Miles has figured jrp tbs amount of food consumed for each 100 lbs, of live weight. In the 22 weeks, .the grade Mer inos for 100 lbs. of live weighty eat .231.81 lbs. of hav, and 108.13 lbs. of com, and the grade Cbtswolds, 212 82 lbi of hay,' and 180.13 lbs. of com. The Cotswolds eat more corn and less hay in proportion to live weight than the Merinos, but tha total amount of food consumed in propor tion to live weighti is almost identical Tuns the Merinos consumed 309.93 lbs., and the Cotswolds 399.25 lbs., or a little over 2 i lbs. of food per day for each 100 lbs. of live weight. "It is very evident, therefore, that for the production of mutton, the grade Cotswolds are far superior to the Merinos, It is equally clear, tod, that by the use of thor onghbred Cotswold or South Down rams we can soon get a very usi ful class of niut t m sheep from common Merinoflocks, And at present the wool from these grade Cots wolds is worth full as much as Ordinary Merino, and a good deal more than that of fleeces which are more than half yolk." FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. A Runaway Locomotive on the Down Grade into Altoona. [From the Cambria (Pa.) Freeman.] An accident somewhat destructive in its results occurred to the engine of James Ddran, on Saturday morning last, while de scending the eastern slope ot tbe mountain, It seems that Mr. Dorau had assisted in hauling the Cincinnati Express west, and while in the vicinity of Kittening Point, on his-return trip to Altoona, , the, brake chain on his engine snapped asunder. With great presence of mind Mr. Doran rever sed hiB' engine immediately, but tbe strain on the steam . chests was too severe, aud the result was that pne of them exploded, thus rendering him powerless to control it. Ihs grade here is about ninety fcet.to the mile, and it required but a tew moments tor tne engine to attain a teftrtul momentum, ami uoran and his fireman were compelled to abandon it. At this time its speed could not havo been less thau forty miles an hour, and it is a matter of. aatjiuishment thai batk- &, caped without serious injury. The runa way engine,, witb constantly accelerating speed, rushed down the mountain, and, about four miles beyond the point where the break gave way, collided with a freight Irani which was passing down the same track. The result can be imagined. A number of cars were completely wrecked, and the engine was stripped of the cow- cather, head-light, and a portion of tbe ma chinery. A Bet of a Kiss. A young gentleman of Coxsackie met a young and handsome lady of Albany, who was visiting at that place. Their acquaintance ripened into in timacy, and, on one occasion a bet was made between thorn the stakes to be a kiss in public on first subsequent meeting. Oar youth won the bet, and last Saturday moniing, on the City cif Hudson's dock, a crowd witnessed the payment of the stakes. The lady was about to leave for home. Coxsackie boy in attendance at the pier his features a strange mixture of sorrow, expectation, and embarrassment. Captain shouted "All aboard." The young gentle man wanted to take the stakes that be had won, but his courage was not equal to his ambition. He dared not do it before snch crowd. But the lady was not thus afraid. She was ready and willing to pay the for feit. ' And so, when the young man was doubting and hesitating, the young lady seized hold of him just when the ruddy flush of shaniefuinesH had reddened his cheek with its glow, imprinted npon it a fervent kiss, exclaimed that she bad paid the bet, and tripped on board the boat. Albany Journal. A Fearful Scene. Mr. Robert Heath, one of tbe principal coal and iron masters iurtb Staffordshire lately celebrated the coming of age of his eldest son, by giving entertainment to between 4,000 and 5,000 persons, at which 900 bottles of wine, and 2,340 gallons of ale were conenmed. The drunken orgies which marked the affair were most di3gracelul.. One reverend gen tleman, noisy, wandering he knew not whither, hutlcss, and fighting with his friend and neighbor, was tumbled out of the pavilion. A gentleman of the press was discovered among the helpless at five j the morning in a field. Fights took place without mumbera, and many men, women, I and boys and girls were jfeen helpless, through drink; others reeling home, and unmbejs lying in the field and lines, dead drunk. Sixteen men felled by drink, help less' and prostrate were counted within a radius of twenty yards, and scores scattered about, many bleeding, hatless, and coat less! incapable of movement or speech. , Boston, Hartford and Erie. Every mile of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie Railroad, from Boston to Fishkill, is now under contract, and it is confidently as serted that the western end will be com pleted before the close of 1869.

Telegraphic communication between Europe and Northern Asia was also first es tablished by the Russian Government which laid down a line between Moscow and Omsk iu 18C2, and extended it to tbe Sea of Japan by way of Irkutsk and Kiacta in 18G4.

Art is mado to rival nature in many ways and in uo instance more remarkably than in tha imitation of all kinds of gems. This form of industry is now practiced in almost every country of Europe, but probably to a greater xtent in Paris than anywhere else. Great is the demand for false dia monds alone, and correspondingly great is the supply. VVs have spoken before in these columns of the successful imitation of these-Mhe most admired of all jewels to such a tiegree that tbe manufactured ar ticles shines witb a brilliancy as if it had been struck off from the rock of Golconda. These imitations were the subject of a re cent article in a London journal. There are many processes; but all result in the production of what is called ciystal water, which, hardened and cut, is a perfect coun terfeit. Worn it may be by ft young lady at her first ball, and dazzling all eyes by its scintillations, it is not? kieiwn to them to be a Composition of white Sand treated with hydrocholric acid, . calcined potash, borax .and arsenic'.

Would we obtain tbe emerald, the bride of the dia monds, as it has been called in the lan guage of the East, we have to add in their stead some oxide of copper. Of artificial pearls tfiere are several va rieties. The. Japanese make theirs of rice paste, which is better known as Jap anese cement. ' and is harder than marble. The Roman pearls are chiefly made of fish scales heated with the finest spirits of wine, and the manufacture must be carried on in highly heated rooms, but they are as light as' wai and cannot possibly deceive. The Turkey rose pearls do not deserve the name. Tbey are iu fact made of roses. The leaves art) heaped in ft mortar having a very highly polistiod inner surface, and pounded into a soft mass; this is dried in the sun, but not rapidly, for rose-water of the very finest perfume is sprinkled over the pink paste now and then; the damping and drying are repeated, and the pearls so culled are moulded iu form, polished, steeped in oil of roses and polished again, so that they are lustrous and sweet-scented. Some are tinted blue, others are odorous of storax and musk, a few, and they the most difficult to perfect, "are black. fiiu delphia Letluer. . , Bathing and Eating. In the lending- -editorial of a leading scientific journal I find this direction in re gard to bathing; "Better take the bath af ter slipper, before retiring, rather than iu the morning before eating, as it will in duce a pleasant sleep, and a bath when the stomach is empty is anything but" healthful, empirics to the contrary notwith standing." Taking a bath after supper is ' all .i var. well, providing It is long enough after, but the idea conveyed by this writer is, that it is better to bathe when the stomach is full tlmri when it is empty. I never knew of but one physician who advised his patients to bathe soon after eat ing,, aii "old fogy" Dutchman, who knew no more about Hygieue, apparently, than a mule knows, about mathematics.! 1 Physi cians and ' standard writers of all schools almost universally recommend that bathing should not be practiced until digestion has been nearly or wholly coiiipleted. Are they all "empirics?" The reason for this ccurse is plain; During the process of di gtstiou, the nervous and vital f'prces are strongly directed to the , digestive organs, and it bathing is then practiced, or severe mental or physical exercise indulged in, the nervous system is shocked, and the vi tal forces called away from the organs of digestion to the skin, or brain, or muscles, as the case may be, and the digestive pow ers partially or completely suspended. There is. no law of Ilygeiue more plain than this, and it is surprising that a scien tific paper of the present day should advo cate the opposite practice. , What reason can bo given for doing so 1 lhll't Journal of Health. , ' Tnn manufactories for the production of Venetian mirrors are situated at Mn ra tio, one of the islands of the Lanioou lv- in 14 uu vemce. xne nuuuicr 01 persons employed in glass-making at Mui uiio and Venice is 50011, of whom one-third are men 1..
