QUAKER JUMPING A DITCH.
Hoick! ill Broadbrim was ft fat Quaker In flic:
Slate of Xew Jersey, who had sold molasses, Cod-'
fish, cliinfi, oarthonwnrc, clothes, nnd nil Sorts of j
liquors. Wo. like the Qnnkers, in deed, ns well hl
In name, and Hezckiah was a Hickory (Junker.!
Ho will somewhat of nti old batehelnr, nnd hnd n
sister wliu was somewhat of nn old maid ! Mutt
sho was iho best creature nlive: straight ns a can-1
die, blooming ns a rose, and 'smiling ns charity I
Her name was Pfirens. i
Ilezekiah and Duron walked out one Sunday
afternoon in the blooming month of Muy, to breathe I
tho fresh nir, nnil view tho meadows. The walking!
was smooth and delightful, with no manner of ob-'
strtictions, except here and there a ditch full of'j
water, tpnnned by a few hedges, nml too wide for'
a man of ordinary jumping capacity to cross it at I
a single bound, liut Henekiah valued himself, as
fit people commonly do, on his utility ; and instead
of walking a few rods for the sake of a bridge, ho j
must needs leap every ditch he came to.
"Tliee'd better not" try that, Uocekiah," said his
kiutl aud considerate sister.
" Xever thee mind, l)orca9," repliod Hexekiah,
" there's no danger ; I've jumped a bigger ditch
when I wasn't half my present size."
"All Hints very likely j hut recollect tnces
grown exceeding pursy since thee was a young
man !" .
" Pursy I Well, if I have, that's no reason why
I shouldn't be ns agile ns before; 1 tell thee.
Dorcas, I can jump this ditch without so much as!
touching a Hnger."
"Aye, but thee'Il touch thy f.'ct to the bottom."!
"Theo's but a woman, Dorcas, nud thy fears
magnify this ditch even to a river. Now stand
thee aside, that I may have full sweep according to
abilities."
'" Nay, brother llczekiali, tliee'd better not. The
ditch is wide and the bottom muddy and thee'Il
assuredly spoil thy Sunday clothes, ft' no worse."
"Ohftidgo for thy fears, girl ; they shall nutl
stay me a jot. Nny.'do not hold mc, fur I'm ro-l
solved to jump this ditch, if it wore merely to con
vince thee of my agility."
Accordingly, llczekiali went back a few yards,
in order that he might have a fair run, and that
the impulse thereof might carry him over. J Living
retreated far enough, ho came forward with a mo
mentum proportioned ti his weight and vol

clothes af 1) ireas, who could not, with all her Qua
ker sobriety and kind feeling, help bursting into a
loud laugh. There was llexekiah, showing his
agility (!) nnd floundering in the mud like a w hale 1
The water was not so deep as to be dangerous
and the scene was too irresistibly comic for even a
B.iint to nbstaiu from laughing, though on the
Lord's day.
At length, when her risibility wiuld allow her
the power of speech, Dorens kindly held out hcr
hand and said " Come hither, Ilezckiah, and I'll
i..,i .1.
" V ell. we I. returned the loundored. in a tone
of vexation " tlico docs well, Dorcas, to stand
thoro ani laugh nt me as though it were mere
sport to see me stick in tho mud and water up to
my very middle !"
"Nay, nay, Ilezekiah, thee has shown thy agil
ity so inarvel iusly, that I could not help being
pleased for tho lil'e of mo nnd now I take shame
to myself for having opposed thee so strenuously,
- J . If .... '
gle moment doubted thy capacity
. :
or for having a sin
for jumping. But if thee's satisfied w ith thy ex
ploit, and ready to cumc forth, I will lend theo a
liand to help thee out."
Thus saying, Dorcas drew near to thc ditch but

to the long eared animal. But if thee is satisfied
on those points, and will forthwith reach me thine
hand, 111 do as much as in mc licth to bring thee '
safe to land." !
Ue.ckiah was pretty well convinced by thisVnne, ,
that his own nl.ilitv would never fetch him out : i
w herefore, humbly reaching out bis hand to Dorcas,

" Now, sister, thee is too bad. Verily, theo
would not make me so heavy as the former animal,
nor so stupid as the latter.
" As to thy weight," returned Dorcas, " thee
must be pretty well satisfied by this time ns for
he snid "Verily, sister, I will accept thy nid, in
asmuch as my own ability doth deceive mc."
Dorcas kindly lent him assistance, and by pull
ing vigorously, Ilezekiah nt length came to land.
Sliiikinr? off the mud and water like a snnniel he
returned home, but charged his sister, by the way, i
never to mention how he came to his catastrophe. ;
Dorcas promised, of course, and as sho was a girl
of truth nnd kind feelin", she was ns pood ns her I
word. But. once or twice, when they were in com-1
pany with sundry other Quakers, discoursing verv 1
soberly, Dorcas looked archly at another girl, and j
merely said I

Ilezekiah turned nn cmbarrnssed nnd imploring'
look towards her, and she said, " Nay, nay, Ileze-1

told how thee showed thy agility one Sunday, and !
jumped into the middle of a ditch. j

At an earlier day it was called "Wolfert's Boost" j
Wolfert Acker being one of the Privy Councel-

Afterwards it camo into the possession of thej

recall the amusing incidents of thnt story, nnd es

A weather cock of miserable appearance is pech

the ornament of old St.idt House of New York in
the time of the old Hutch rule.

A writer in the Scientific American, referring to
the fact that steel is nothing more thnn refined iron
impregnated with carbon, says, that if tho carbon
contained in tho steel bo crystalizcd, tho steel is
rendered hard, and if its carbon is in solution or
nnerystnlilcd, it becomes soft Henco the reason
why steel becomes hard or soft, is becnuso of the
cryxtnlianrlon or non-crystnli.ntion of its carbon,
nnd not because of its particles being brought in
closer contact with each other. A piece ol hard
steel is actually larger than the same piece when
soft. Steel may be made hard by very grndual
cooling when heated to redness, or soft by henting
nnd suddenly eooline tho sanio. To make hnrd
steel, cool it in hot melted tin; nnd to make it soft,
