HEARTS:
A LOVE RECORD.
By havoc! of W's-talcum.
[Continued]
Fortunately for me, I had of late been read-
mg the life of Germany's great poet and
therefore ventured to reply: “I too, have
read With delight. some of the letters of this
correspondence. Only this morning on
glancing through my journal I discovered
that I had copied several lines from one of
the poet‘s letters to his beloved Lotta; I
think they run» no follows: ‘Tbe sad and
dreary present weighs upon me. In dillant.
fields unvislted, bloom all my joys. I pos-
sess not that spirit of resignation and con-
tentedness which constitutes the power of
woman's soul! Mine shrug lee impetuousl
to hasten the com lotion 0 all that is still
undone. You loo calmly forward to the
future. For me, mu lslmpossiblc !‘ " This
tolerable effort; of my memory pleased
young Holly, and sprin ing up. he cried
out: “ How beautiful l I recollect the let-
ter well; and do you remember these
words of the angelic Lotta? Although they
occur atalater period in their correspon-
dence, yet they seem to give reply to the
passage just quoted by you : ‘ Vainly would
have sought after content and happiness,
without the consciousnem of being loved by
you, within my heart. Oh! what beautiful
realities have all my dreams become, and
how doth the thought that you are mine
lead my soul through the dreary present and
hold up the smiling future before mel’"
“ Such hearts as those," murmured Mrs.
Holly, “ are bright oases in this world's (les-
ert of fleeting fancies and ephemeral at-
tachments l“ “ And will this ever be, :5 it
is, and always has been?” I added in a tone
of unfeigucd emotion, for in spite of my
efforts to restrain m feelings, there was
something in Mrs. I olly‘s earnest manner
and hushed voice, that sent a chill through
my heart. “ I see no help for it," was young
Holly's response after u moments pause.
“ The social sentiments of the age rather
appear to be life for love, than love for life.
Look for example, at our own dear country.
We thrust. the privileges of society upon
our school girls, just as we force the right. of
suffrage upon the immigrant. “'lmt is the
result? Sud enough in the former case at
least. lly this early contact with the
world, these young hearts are cooled down,
first to the cool wmperulure of indifi‘crence
and then 10 llw icy coldness of doubt and
suspicion. As no man over, or very rarely
combines symmetry of figure with a rifled
mind, therefore odious comparisons orth—
with present themselves to these half indif-
ferent, half suspicious hearts: and like the
fig tree zu‘cursed, the lender plant of affec-
tion withers and dies ore the blossoms cvvu
come." “Sb my \‘Vallcr," replied Mrs.
[lolly mildly, “ It would pain my heart to
think that you had already lost confidence
in the world, Believe me, there is nothing
mathematical about a woman's heart, with
u reason for every why and wherefore. Nor
is it urcbitccluml. with columns,corniccs,
and capitals, wide entrance and broad smir-
wny. It is rather a labyrinth, a place with
torturous windings; and mark me..if you
but find the clue, it will surely lead you to
the shrine of pure affection, where the un-
dying tire of love burns warm and bright."
As Mrs. llolly ended this rejoinder IOIICI'
son's attack, I could not help giving her a
kiss as a token of my wmlimdc for having
said all I myself would fuin have uucred
in defence of my sex. “ (lb! mother,"
cried young Holly, “ you mistake my mean-
ing. There is, doubtlcss, a mystery to
cvcry woman‘s heart; but this mystery
once destroyed, no earthly power can ever
replace it. You will certainly agree with
me, that Amoricuu wumcn lack dignity.

widely different turn, much to my mind‘s
relief. Soon ,lbercaflcr, I bade my friends
good niglu. Iforgot to say dearest Benn,
that this young Holly was his father’s con-
stant companion, during the latter's transat-
lantic sojourn; and it is said that he pos-
sesses the happy faculty of being able to re-
late incidents of travel and dmribe pecul-

I feel somewhat happier, tqday, darling

mother has been slightly allino and has kept
her room. Night. and d: s livesinper-

the heart, and therefore never allows both of
her daughters out of her sight at once.
Thus I am left alone. 'A cold "chill chives

to take up in order to make the attack a suc—
cessful one.” Mrs. Holly laughed heartily
at her son’s mock earnestness. I felt my
cheeks burn and quickly joined in the
laughter, to tether ooncechny girlish lack of
confidence. Mrs. Holly came indly 1-0 my
rescue. “ Our charming neighbor is inno-
cent,” she replied, “ I am the one to blame.
I enticed her to my side." At last I found
:11 ton e. “ One word of advice, kind
friends,’ I began with an air of wounded
dignity, “ in future shut your garden gate
and hang out raw mnem, if you would keep
the weary pllgim from resting in your fa-
vorite bower; else cavil not when you find
them there, for, like the girasole, human
hearts turn whithersoever they feel the

answered young Holly smiling an bend‘m

this he took my hand and led me back to
the ottoman. And so ended this little im-
promptu seriommic scene. Young Holly
now left the room for half an hour or more,
not before asking permission however, to re»
turn and pass the remainder of the evening
with us. At Mrs. Holly’s request I sat down
at. the piano and sang several of those bal-
lads, which you and I, my browmeyed Benn,
used to sing together in happy days of other
years. You recollect, many of them were
German songs, which we learned from that.
favorite master of ours, Herr Wohlgeboren.
There is one in particular, of that. series of
ballads called the “ Miller-Sieder," which
we never grew tired of singing ; I mean
that rapturous confession of affection
“ Thine is my heart." This too, I sang, and
thought of you, my Berta, and my poor
lost mother, and Ralph, and every one that
ever was dear to me. The tears rolled down
my cheeks and fell upon 11) hands. My
voice trembled but. I sang it rough, and as
I raised my handkerchief to my eves, I
glanced one side. There stood young olly
leaning on the piano, with his gaze riveted
upon me. I thought I noticed a slight beam
of sympathy lighting that calm, cold look.

How Mosquitoes Bite.
The mosquito has. a proboscis like an cle-
pbnnt, only not so large. It will, however,
look nearly as large under a good microscope.
He cannot do as many handy things with it
as the clcphan‘. can do with his, but he can
cause a good deal of annoyance in a small
way with it. It is hardly the thing to say
that the mosquito bites us, for he has no
teeth. The microscope reveals the fact that
he carries a pair of scissors inside of his pro—
boscis—the neatest and bllnrpesf little cutting
tools you ever saw. He gets his living by
these. They are two delicate little blades,
and are placed alongside of each other.
\Yben he is ready to make a meal off of us,
he first buzzcs around with those beautiful
wings, and sings a pleasant little song. If
we let him quietly settle down, he picks out a
place on our skin which is just to his liking.
lie is very delicate about it. When he gets
ready, he puts his proboscis down, and
pushes the little scissors out, and makes a
neat cut, so that he can suck the blood out.
Then he drinks as much blood as he wants,
and is done his dinner. But he does not

it. makes no difference to bun. It is the best
he has to give nu His poison pocket is at
the head of his proboscis, and at the lower
end of his proboscis he has another little
pocket, into which he puts poison enough
for one dose. This poison is very powerful.
A very little of it makes the plane where the
musquito puts it very sore. After he has
sucked our blood,- be puts the drop of poison
into the place he took the blood from. If is
not the bite or the cut that the mosquito
makes that hurts us, but the dropping of this
powerful poison into our flesh. If this mos-
quito were large enough to give a powerful
dose of this poison, it would be bad for us.
If he were as big as a kitten, and his poison
as strong in proportion, 11 “ bite" from him
would kill an

Matrimonial Superstitions.
The lately revived custom of throwing
shoes after a. newly wedded couple for luck,
is a very old one. In the Isle of Man, the
shoe is thrown after' bride and bridegroom
asthey leave their rapcctive nbodes; but
the ceremony is generally performed else-
where, upon the departure of the hero and
heroine of the day for the honeymoon trip.
In some parts of Kent, the shoe-throwing
does not take place until after they have
gone; when the single India range them-
selves in one line, and the bachelors range
themselves in another. An old shoe is then
thrown as far as the thrower-‘5 strength per-
mits, and the ladies race after it, the winner
being rewarded by the assurance that she
will be married before any of her rivalk
She then throw: the shoe at the gentlemen,

practised too in Yorkshire and Scotland.
In Germany it used to berule for the bride,»
as she was being conducted to her chamber
to take’olf her shoe and throw it among the
guests, who battled for its posession, the

A Summer: Plump—Many years
when our commerce was unprotected and
our navy weak, piracy had a terrible sound,
and the nameof Lafitte along the gulf of
Mexico carried sufficient dread to induce an
expedition from the southern status, who
captured three men and two boys of the
gang near Lake Pontchntrain. The men
were hung, but. the boys allowed to go in
peace. Years afterward, when they had be-
come men, one of them became an intimate
of a. Mr. Newell's house in New Orleans,
and was kindly cared for by Mrs. Newell
through a fatal sickness Just before his
death he stated that he had no means to re-
compense the family, but it was in his pow-
er to do them a service by disclosing the
place on one of the islands of the gulf where
pirates bad hidden treasure. With faith in
the dying man’s statement, Mr. Nowell un-
dcrtook hi§ search, but In the first trial was
wrecked and he with his companions barely
escaped drowning. The next time out, the
man with him, died from sunstroke: the
third, he was taken violently ill and had to
return. Being naturally superstitious be
abandoned the search, but after some years
transmitted the secret to his son, Andrew J.
Newell, who has been a printer on various
New York papers, and more recently on the
New Orleans Picayune, and be, a short time
ago, started to find the coveted treasure,
Nothing but failure came of the first expe-
dition, when he revealed the secret to a
friend, extracting from him an oath not to
disclose it, and the two made a second voy-
age together, but a. storm coming up their
boat was dismasted, and after beating about
the lake and gulf for ten days they returned
nearly discouraged. Afterward Newell
tried to persuade his friend to accompany
him again, but, being refused, he went alone
and the next seen of him be was found dead
from two gunshot wounds in the brensx, be-
tween Salt Bayou and the Rigolets, leaving
a strange mvstery for the superstitious to re.
fleet upon.

Tm: “Tums to remove the Hell Gate
obstructions are being pushed forward on an
extensive scale. At Hallett‘s Point a shaft
was sunk near the shore to a depth of thirty
two feet below low water mark, and from
the bottom of this shaft. ten radiating head-
ings, like the sticks of an open fan, have
been pushed by hand drilling in the rock to
various lengths. At present these distances
vary from thirty-four t0 eighty—nine feet.
These headings average twenty feet in
height by thirteen feel in width, and are con-
nected by a series of concenlric galleria,
averaging sixteen feet in height by ten feet
in width, so the lunncling‘s give the appear-
ance on a diagram of a portion of a spider's
web. In the spaces between the concen-
tric galleries and the radial headings chain
bers of a T form are to be made, and when
all are completed the char-gm of gunpowder
will be placed in the T chambers and fired
by a galvanic battery. The expected mull
is to rend the ledge into fragments small
enough to be fished up and taken away. The
work goes on night and day, except Sundays
and is performed by Cornish miners imported
for the purpose. The rock is principally
gneiss streaked with veins of quartz and in
extremely dificult to work. When removed
there will be a channel sufficiently deep for
the passage of the largest vessel.

Tm: COLLEGE BOAT RACE—Yale will
have no part in the coming college regatta
under any circumstances A New Haven
dispatch says : “ A: a fully attended meet.-
ing of the Yale boat club, \Vednmday after-
noon, the letter received from the Harvard
boat club in response to Yale’s challenge of
Dec. 10, 1870, for a six oarcd, three mile,
straight-away race on any course in Ameri~
on which the challenged party might. select,
was read. This letter was to the effect that
while Harvard would allow Yale to enter
the union college regatta to be rowed on the
Connecticut river near Springfield, July 14,
under its auspices, over a three-mile straight
course, it would not allow it to engage in a
separate univérsity race at any other place
than Lake Quinsigamond, Womter, over a.
doubled mile and a half course about a sin-
gle turning stake. After an exciting debate
it was voted by a large majority that the Bar-
vard oarsmen be notified that. their letter is
construed as a non-acceptance of the chal~
lenge of Dec. 10, and that the university
crew of Yale having in consequence disband-
ed, will not recognize any future acceptance
of that challenge. Thus the question of Yale
taking part in any college races this summer
is settled, by the refusal of Harvard to allow
it a straight university race, and by its own
refusal to take part in any miscellnn' eons col-
lege races under its rival‘s auspices."
