""' She wa3 a little blue eyed saucy looking; creature of summers, and was theMlc of the city. Her name was Lauras-sweet, pot'uu uaurit . . : - j "I hare a poetic passion for the taiiae ot It was a beautiful autumn 'morning and I had raised the-window to admit the refreshing breeze from thH numer ous. fields of ripened fruit with . which the thriving young city, was surround ed, and ifc was not long before I per ceived the window opposite ; me was hoisted also, and that sweet little Laura was seated near it, engaged fwith her needle. 1 worked but little that morn ing. My eyes were constantly wan dcring towards the window where Laura sat, and all sorts of strange -fantastic notions '.whirled through my . fancy lighted -brain, and I began ;to think that J felt a .slight touch of Jnrhat -the poets calflove, sliding stealthilyin at the corner pr my heart v i- i . A few days passed away atd chance made me acquainted with .Laura. Heavens slie was a sweet creature she had a form that would shame the famous Venus de Medici a' check that out' blushed the richest pencil Land a She seemed the embodiment pf all that is lovely and bewitching. j: r j Av ell, time passed on and oiice Laiira expressed a desire , to visit the printing office. Gad, thought I, whatq, chance ! Til do it there. , Yes; thcro. .in the midst of the implements of my art the press " and rollers the : ink - and stands, and the boxes of A B C's." . I took an opportunity to snatch her lilly white hand and she drew-it -back knocking a stick, of matter into pi. - Imust have , a' kiss 'for that; , my pretty.; fair one" .said I, and. at it I went I; managed to twist i my arm around her waist," and in struggling to free herself she " upset a galley-of editorial,' a 'long article oh! the recent Kansas difficulties. Nothing daunted, I made at her again. ' Thi3 time I was more successful; for I obtained a kiss. By St. Paul it was a sweet one and the little witch bore it like a martyr she never" screamed once, but as I raised my lips she raised her delicate little hand and gave me a.' box on the ears that made me see more stars than were ever viewed by Herschel through his big telescope. ; Somewhat nettled, and my cheek smarting with pain, I again seized her a.nd said: - "Well, if you don't like it; just take back the kiss.V' ",' -: . . She made a desperate struggle, and as , she jerked herself from j my arms, her foot struck the lye pot and over it went! Another galley of editorial was sprinkled over the floor, and in her efforts to sustain' hcrsclf,-ho hand, her lilly white hand the same little hand that ha'i come over my face oh, hor-rible!-was : stuck up to the elbow in the ink keg. Shade of,' Franklin! what a change came over the beauty of that hand! Slowly she drew it from the keg, dripping with ink, and asked me what use I made of that tar. I began to be seriously alarmed, and apologized in the best manner I could and to my sumrise she seemed more r leased than anTbut there was a "lurking devil in her eye that told mere- wa3 mis chief 'afloat. 'As :I stood surveying the black covering of her hand, scarcely able to suppress a laugh at: its strange metamorphosis, she -raised it quickly on ' hlga, and brought . it down "ker slap" on. my cheek! ' Before I could recover from my. surprise the same little hand had again left,:its imprint on my bther cheek. .-I1. . "Why. Laura." I exclaimed, "what arc roti about?" ; .. 4i' ; ," , "I think you told me you rolled ink on the face of the form'i she replied with a laugh, and again h er hand lit upon my face taking me, a broad slap in the"jniddlc of my countenance, nnd most wofully bedaubing my eyes. Sac turned back when beyond my reach, and with her Toguish 1 face peering through the doorway she shouted back: "I say, Jerry, what kind of a roller doc'3 my hand make?", , "Oh!" ; I replied, "you take too much ink." "Ha. hi!" she laughed, "well good bye, Jerry that's my impression! ha! ha!" I went to the las3 and surveyed myself for a moment, and verily I could have passed for a Guinea negro without the slightest difEculty. .-; "And so, thinks I to myself, "this is love in a printing office. The devil take such love" - The next morning when the editor came to the office, "I rather calculate" he found things a little topsy-turvey. llOTvever, that made no odds to me for I had "mizzled" long before day light. J -I bore the marks of the scene for many a day, and now whenever" I see a lady m a printing office, I think of Laura, and keep my eye on the ink keg and though she were as beautiful as Hebe,T would not touch her with a ten foot pole!

WhOn the blood is equally distributed to every part of the -body there is general good health. If there be less blood at one point there is a coldness ; and not only so, there must be more than is natural at' some part 'of the system,. and there is fever, that is, un natural? heat or oppression. "In the case of cold feet, the amount of blood wanting there collects at some other 1 iri .. . tne extra blood gathers there in the shape of u .common cold, or often spitting bloodV .Clergymen, other pub lic speakers, and singers, by improper exposure, often render the throat the weakest part ;'r to such, cold feet . give hoarseness, or a raw, burning, feeling, most felt at the bottQm of the neck. To others azain, whose bowels are weak through overeating or drinking spiritous liquors, cold feet give various degrees of derangement! from common looseness up to diarrhea or dysentery; and so we might go througlvthe whole body, but for the present this is: suffi cient for illustration., . - L' If you are well, let yourself alone. But to those whose feet are inclined to be cold, we, suggest; "; , As soon as you get up in the morn ing put both feet in a basin .of cold water, so as ".to come half way. to the ankles; keep them in -half a minute, nibbing them vigorously; wipe them dry and hold them to the fire, if con venient in cold weather, till every part of your feet feels as dry as your hand; then put on your socks or stocking. . Ongoing to bed at night draw on your stockings, and hold your icet to the fire ten or fifteen minutes , till perfectly dry, and go to bed. This is a most pleasing operation, and fully repays for the trouble of it. No one can sleep well or refreshingly with cold feet. All Indians and hunters sleep with their. feet' to the fire. Never step from your bed with the naked feet on ait Uncarpeted floor I I have, known it to be the exciting cause of months of illness. , , . : Wear woolen, cotton,' or silk stock ings, whichever keeps the feet most comiortable; do not let the experience of another be your guide, for different persons require different articles; "what is good for -a person whose feet are naturally damp, can not be good for one whose feet are dry. The donkey who had his bag of salt lightened by swimming a river, advised his com panion, who was loaded down with a sack of wool, to do the same, and having no more sense than a man or woman, he plunged in, and in a moment the wool absorbed the water, increased the :burden many fold, and bore him with it to the bottom.

A fair correspondent of tfco Ohio Cultivator addresses the following sensi ble remarks to the. girls of our rural districts: . -. . ; .. - The farmers daughters are soon to be tho life as well as the pride of the country; a, .glorious race of . women which no other land can show. I seek not to flatter them; for before they can become this they will have to make earnest efforts of one or two kinds. There are some who depreciate their condition, and some, who have a false pride in it, because they demand more consideration than they men t. A want of. intelligence upon all subjects of the day, and a refined education, is no more exciisiblo in a country than in a town- bred girl, in this age of many books and many newspapers. Many girls are discouraged because they cannot be sent away from home toboardingchools;butmenof superior minds and knowledge of the world, would rather have for wives, women well and properly educated at home. A taste for reading does wonders, and an. earnest thirst far. knowledge is almost certain to attain a sweet draught of the "Pierian spring." There is a farmer's daughter in this very ; room in which I am : writing, a beautiful, refined and . intellectual wo man, in whose girlhood books were not so plentiful a3 now, and who gained her fine education under . difficulties which would have discouraged any one but one who has as fond a love for study. ,:. I will state why I think the country girls are : yet to prove the hope of the country. The women in town and cities are becoming so. universally un healthy and almost universally exirava gant, foolish and fashionable, that roenj are almost m. despair-of obtaining rives who are not invalid?, ?,vA "of pro- . : ! - - -.'h must spend tho bcstbloOm of his youth in acquiring enough to "start upon," ?-s people are expected to begin now-a-davs. Men, even in high places, would go t the country tor tneir cnoice, n they met there , equal :renncmcnt and intelligence. Women are : preparing to takea noble stand, in history, and they cannot do it in ignorance. Town girls havCr the advantage' of more highly polished manners and Greater accomplishments; that country irls have infinitely more to recommend them as rivals of their fair city sisters. They have more truth, household knowledge and ' economy,; ncaitD, fand" -consequently, more beauty) simplicity, affection, and freshness of impulse and thought. U hen they-have cultivated minds, "there" are more chances in their favor for good sense and real ability, because so much is not demanded by the frivolities of society. The added lustre of foreign accom plishments could easily bo caught by such a -mind from a very little contact With the Wond; ; I would . not speak, as though - our farmers' daughters are deficient in ed ucation. Many brilliant scholars and talented women arc found among them; in New England this i3 especially so; but I would seek to awaken' the am bition of all to become that admired and favored class which they ought to bej if they will unite. refined culture with their most excellent grace?.' , ' A sweet country home, with roses and honeysuckles trained to climb over it; .with good taste, intelligence and beauty within, toil enough to court ac quaintance with bopkn and flowers, and the loveliness of nature; with peace, plenty and love, is surely one of the paradiseY which heaven has left for the attainment of man. lixchanqe. Governor D., of. no matter what State, . wa3 a plain farmcrlkc man- in fact; -aside from his political, office, his profession wa3 that cf a farmer. He had an orchard behind his house,' to which he paid a great deal of atten tion.. - In .' personal appearance . ihe orovernor wa3 not very prepessesm He was tall and gaunt, and when about his' work was generally in the habit of wearing a fadcllrcssmg gown, which was of exceeding length, coming nearly to his feet. ' It chanced one day that a gentleman, fashionably dressed, called at the Governor's -residence, and in quired for him. He wa3 in quest of a certain office which lay in the Gover nor's gift. .'-. ' ; -, : ' "lie is not at hone just at present," sail Mrs. D., "but if you will come in and take a seat,'; no doubt ho will be c.I on g soon. The visitor ncceptcl the invitation, r.nd seating himself in the plain sitting room, entered into conversation with the Governor's lady. ' -: I ;.
