Upeele;sn- ereat love for studies, but without the means of pursuing them. He was poor, and with- out connexions. Still he studied, living in great poverty, but keeping a cheerful heart, and trying not to lock at the future, which looked so Y grimly at him. His good humour and good qualities made him beloved by his young comrades. Once he was standing with some of them iu the great square of Upsala, prattlmg away an hour of leisure, when the attention of the young man became | arrested by a young and elegant lady, who, -at the side of an elderly one, was walking slowly over the place. It was.the daughter of the Governor of Upland, living in the city, and the lady with her was the Governess. She was generally known for her goodness and gentleness of character, and looked upon with admiration by the students. As the young men stood gazing at her, as she passed on, like a graceful vision, one of them sud- denly exclaimed :-- " Well, it would be worth something to have a kiss from such a mouth." The poor student, the hero of our story, | who looked intently on that pure angelic face, exclaimed, as if by inspiration, " Well, I think I could have ifs"? "are youcrazy? Do you know her?" &c. « Not-at all," he answered, " but I think that she would kiss me now, if I asked her." «¢ What in this place, before all our eyes?" Tn this place, before your eyes." "Freely 12 "* Freely." «Well, if she will give you a ies i in that manner, I will give you a thousand dollars," exclaimed one of the party. "And I!" ""and I!" cried three or four young men were in the group, and the bets ran high on so probable an event. 'The challenge was made and received in less time than we take to relate it. Our hero (my authority tells not whether | he was handsome or plain; I have my pecu- liar ideas for believing he was rather plain, | but singularly good looking at the same time) immediately walked off to the young lady, and said--* -- froleen) my fortune is in your hands." She looked at him in astonishment, but arrested her steps. THe proceeded to state his name and condition, his aspirations, and related, simply and.truly, what had just passed between him and his companions. 'The young lady listened at- tentively, and, when he ceased to speak, she said blushingly, : " If by so little a thing so much good can be effected, it would be foolish for me to refuse your request," and she kissed him publiely in the open square. Next. day the student was sent for by the Governor. He wanted to see the man who had dared to seek a kiss from his daughter in that way, and whom. she had consented to kiss so. He received him with a scrutinizing bow, but after an hour's conversation was so pleased with him that he ordered him to diné at his table during his studies at Upsula. Our young friend pursued his studies in a manner which. soon made him regarded as the most promising scholar in the University. Three years were now passed since the day of the first kiss, when the young maa was allowed to give a second one to the daughter | of the Governor, as his intended bride. He became, later, one of the greatest scholars in Sweden, and as much respected for his learning as for: his character. His works will endure while time lasts, among the works of science; and from this happy union sprang a family well known in Sweden j even-at the present day, and whose wealth and high position in society are regarded as trifles in comparison with his wealth of good- ness and love. Democratic Pendsacies of Science. At the recent meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Education, Prof. Olm- stead read a paper upon the Democratic Tendencies of Science. He showed that | Science tends to promote political equality, to do-away with distinctions of class, and bring the country up to the same level of intelligence as the city. Inventions, he said, By improvements in the means of locomo- tion. 2. By the diffusion of intelligence through the medium of newspapers. Ss By the multiplication of conveniences and ele-- gancies of life. Before the invention of locomotives there Ifad existed a great differ- ence between the rich and the poor in their modes of travelling. , The rich man rolled along in his carriage, while his poor neigh- bour jogged along on horseback or on foot. The rich merchant travelled in the public stages, which were too expensive for the | poor tradesman, who was compelled to trust to some. humbler conveyance. 'There was, therefore, little intercourse in those times. between ee rich and the poor, the intelli- gent and the uneducated, while travelling. The inhabitants of the countr y were called by their city cousins countryfied, and ridi- culed for their ignorance of the world. It had been his fortune to be country bred, and he well remembered the first visit. he paid to town, riding on a rough nag and fol- lowed by a troop of boys, shouting " Coun- try! country!" What a contrast does the | present day present to this state of things. 'Tf one enters the saloon of a steamboat he 'finds men of all classes and 'oceupations-- / merchants and farmers, lawyers and mechan- 'ics, teachers and statesmen--all mingled to- Bremer, who vouches for its truthlylness :--- | Sweden, | lived a young student, alovely.youth, with a " What!" cried his friends in a chorus, others; for it so happened that several rich | had elevated the masses In three ways--l1. | ton. eet ergs gether, and not distinguished by any pecu- 'liarity of dress. which formerly prevai died, seemed now done away with.

One might find in the villages of. Connecticut houses equal in convenience and elegence to the most comfortable howes in this city. The diffusion of newspape's had. tended greatly to the education of tie people. In old times the mail travellel slowly, and papers were a lone time reacling their desti- nation. 'hey were expensive too, and the country people often formed 'oint-stock con- cern, and shared the subsciiption to a Sin- gle paper among several. Steamboats had first facilitated the spread of news, railroads aided in the work, and the telegraph had completed it. Now the mos distant quar- ters of the land are informed of the arrival. Lof a steamer, of a fall in the orice of stocks, | or the fighting of a battle, as soon as the in- habitants of the city. Again, Sc'ence has rendered the conveniences ard luxuies of life accessible to all. We dress a great deal better than our fathers, finer houses, and yet we do not work so hard. the masses by educating them. In Europe such establishments are aristocratic, but. they are not so in this country. Ad ealous Wie. An anecdote is told o of a wife who was very jealous of her husband, who was a worthy member of the Masons. One eve- ning a bundle came to the house for him, and labeiled "Private." Ofcourse this was sufficient for female curiosity, and therefore she indulged in an inspection. Horror of horrors! Blankets, baby's linen, and bird's eye, &e., greeted het astonished eyesight, and dreams of "two iasiiies" floated through her brain. The ese soon came in, and after tea, when his wife discovered in his eye the treachery of conduct as she supposed, he took the bundle and walked out--but not alone, for his jealous wife was on his track. The faithless husband little imagined that she who considered. herself so foully wronged was hovering after him. He stop- ped at the house of a friend, who also joined him-- carrying a small bundle. 'he wife became doubly excited, for the prospect of having a companion in misery, did not 1m- press hen with the idea of a division of her grief, but only an addition to it. She_fol- lowed closely and soon they halted in front of a small tenenient, which they entered. Here she paused to hold-a council of war. What tactics to follow she was in dowot, but resolving to storm the citidel, she od, and instantly brushing by a little child, ina second stood before the astonished husband, the embodiment of injured innocence. lex feelings were about to: express themselves, wien the scene before her caused hér to reflect. A poor woman ona sick bed, a babe not old enough for christening,-a child ina crib, and two little girls in bed: met her eye. She read the story at-a glance, and returned home under the escort of her Jord and friend, who assured her that she had discovered the great secret of the masonry. She never arrived at afalsé conclusion from appearances again. NEGRO WIT. The writer of the following vouches for its truthfulness, he being the party known as Mr. L. The other parties are a speculator in negroes, of a brown complexion, whom we shall call «* Moore," a mulatto slave named Sam, who could read his Bible and was a member of the church, and an absentee named Enoch Manuel,' iho was a notorious rogue. Tn one of our Southern cities, not a' thou- sand miles off, while Mr. Li. was standing on the sidewalk, conversing with Sam, Mr. Moore came up, and, pointing to Sam, said-- Moore.--Mr. L. don't you want to see Enoch Manuel's picture ? Sam.--Dare now, mass Moore, don't compare me to Enoch; kase Enoch's a rogue, and I'se honest. Moore.-- Well, but the complexion: Sam.--Dare now, mass More, you ought not said dat, kase dare's not much difrance *twixt you and. me-dare (drawing his finger across his own forehead). - LL.--Moore, you'd better drop that boy. Moore.--No, he's just the boy I like; if T had him aoa New Orleans I could get a high price for him. ' (Fhen turning to Sam, continued): Boy, are youa slave or free? Sam.--I'm bofe, sir. Moore.--How do you make that out ? Sam.--De Scripture say, "If you be called bein' free, you Christ's servant; if you be called bein' a servant, you Christ's free man.

'The ma- chine consists ina case two feet long and one foot wide, adapted toa band of leather round the waist, buckled behind. The two. iron rods, fastened to the case support a small piece of wood on which the feet repose. The case contains a simple and ingenious mechan- ism, similar to that employed to set an auto- 'maton in motion; the mechanism is worked by means of a handle, which sets at work two large wings, ten feet long, made up of very thin caoutchoe, covered with feathers, and the wings may be so worked as to pro- duce yertical, perpendicular, or horozontal: flying. The 'number of turns given to the handle determines the height to which it may | vo. 'The handle has to be turned every "quarter of a league to regulate the distance, and the operation of turning lasts one minute. Horizontal flying is the most difficult ; wings beat the air like the feet of a Suan an it swims.--Old Countryman. 20 Served Him Right. A friend relates to us, that being the other day in the office of one of the most extensive printing concerns at the capital, an American dealer in Ink came in and exhibited samples of the article, and as the price and terms proposed seemed reasonable, and he had a persuasive tongue, an agreement for some £400 worth was on the eve of being made. At this juncture, an allusion to the war brought out the American very powerfully against the Allies, and especially against England. He expressed very strong 'hopes of the defeat of the besiegers, and of the readiness of Uncle Sam, if circumstances favoured, to make a foray into Canada, after which, his patriotic eloquence being expand- ed, he returned to the all-but completed ar- rangement for the ink. By this time the feelings of the intended purchaser bad under- gone quite a change, and he very briefly in- formed Johnathan that he would not take the ink. 'The explosion of a bomb-shell could -hardly haye been less desired, but all at- tempts to change the resolution of the loyal printer were useless-- Montreal Pilot. oe Essentials to Productive Farms. The following fifteen essentials to produc- tive farming are from the pen of the Ameri- can Farmer, which is, we believe the oldest agricultaral paper ia the United States: _ 1. Good implements of husbandry, and plenty of them, which should always be kept in perfcet order. 2. Deep ploughing and Gerouek pulveri- zation of the soil, by 'thie free use of the har- aS dr: Ao", or roller. An application of lime, marl, or ashes, oe calcarious matter or potash may not be present in the soil. -- _ 4, A systematic husbanding of every sub- stance on a farm capable of being converted into manure, a systematic protection of such substances from loss by evaporation or waste of any kind, and a careful application of the a to ihe lands under culture. 5. The draining of all wet lands, so as to relieve the roots of the plants from the ill effects of a stiperabundance of water, a con- dition equally perntcious as drouth to their healthful growth and profitable fructification. | 6. The free use of the plow, cultivator, and hoe, with all row cultured craps, so as to keep down, at all times, the growth of grass and weeds, those pests which prove so de- | structive to crops. 7. Seeding at the proper time, with good seed, and an "equal attention as to time, with regard to the period of working crops. 8. Attention to the construction and re- pair of fences, so that whatis made through the toils and anxious cares of the husband- man, may not be lost through his neglect to protect his crops from the depredations of stock. -- 9. Daily personal superintendence, on the part of the master, over all the operations, of the farm, no matter how gooda manager he may have, or however faithful his hands' may. be,.as the presence of the head ofa) fatm, and the use of his eyes, are sae several pairs of hands. 10, Labor-saving machinery, so that one may render himself as independent. as need- ful of neighborhood labor, as a sense of the | comparative independence of the employer upon such labor begets a disposition of obe- dience and faithfulness on the part of the employed. 11. Comfortable stabling and sheds, for the horses and stock, all necessary outbuild- | ings, -for the accomodation of the hands, and- protection of the tools and implements, as" well as for the eare of the poultry. 12. Clover and other grasses to form.a | | part of the rotation of crops, and these to be at the proper period plowed in, to form pabulum for succeeding crops. 13. The clover ticld to be either plastered or ashed, each succeeding g spring--one bushel of the former, and six of the latter per acre. 14. To keep no more stock than can be rwell kept, but to be sure to keep as many as the farm can keep in good condition, as | it is\wise policy to feed as muchas possible of _the crops grown on the farm, and thus return to it that which has been abstracted from it. 15. To provide a good orchard and gar- | den--the one to be filled with choice fruits of all kinds--the other with vegetables of | different. sorts, early and late, so that the table may, at all times, be well and season- ably supplied, and the supplies contribute to | increase the wealth of the proprietor. ience has lately | - the can Pilbadeine Seu on Cnadaa. ee oe employe nh es unde ork ¢ sseminate r oe Pp WTatIaud ne that ail Gues means: of elesias ame xation. have failed.

These young men are busy at present, espe- 'cially in the western Counties, eirculating | Uuion Sunday School. publications, which are found tinged with republican sentiments, and notwithstanding the professed piety and benevolence of their. desien, which are full of political doctrines highly prejudicial to British rule and British institutions. Weare "sorry to Jearn that the above named Associ- ation, which has heretofore accomplished so much 'good in the United States, should thus be made subservient to such a purpose.

Are such books calculated to impart to them a knowledge of the Politi-_ cal institutions of our own country? Are such books in a religious ffoint of view well suited for Sunday School teachings ? '* But we think we hear some defender of these young men say, "these books tell the chil- dred of the sin of drunkenness--of lying--of deceiving--of cheating--of going to the ing--and in fact everything again which children should be warned." slavery? Our friend looks blank. There 1s nothing in these books. against the sin of slavery ! Not a-word. It does not exist in the catalogue, surely! Has Brother John- athan then emancipated his chattels? It cannot be. He would have made too loud a boast of it. oe Gan adian Hvaniouaea The following frank Adee ion, that there is more freedom and liberty to be enjoyed in Canada, than under thé stars and stripes, | across the Jakes, is valuable---not because. any one here doubts the fact, but because Brother Johnathan has so ¥ ery seldom candor to confess what must be patent even to' him- self.
