He will, though such dogs are rare, run over the back of a flock to head them in a lane, jump the hedge to present his grim features at a gap ahead, or drive them as his master walks in front. He wi;l keep them from a defined piece of pasture, or as his master sets the evening fold, confine them to the old boundary. These last are the ordinary duties of the sheep dog; the first may be looked upon as an exceptional refinement, which would raise a dog five shillings or so in the estimation of his water; but now and then he gives proofs of devotion and intelli- gence tar surpassing the bounds of instinct. I remember a case in point. The dog he- longed to a shepherd whom all our large agriculturists coveted, but never could keep after his year’s service had expired because of his drunken habits, or rather his fits of drunkenness. No man’s sheep throve so well ; no one reared so many lambs, or, in a gen- eral way, was more devoted to his flock. He had that natural gif: of attracting animals to him, and attaching them to him also, which can neither be imparted nor acquired, and his dogs were the best for miles around. At last, having lost the confidence of the leading farmers, he might have got a place with some little two or three-hundred acre farmer, but such prcfcrmcnt he despised; so he turned drovcr, and he and his uog, Quick, a blue grizzlc, bought as a. puppy at Salisbury mar- ket for a pint or beer and a promise of a shilling, as he informen me, set off together. One autumn evening he was leaving Weyhill fair with a flock of something like three hun- dred sheep, and walking for some point about twenty-five miles to the west, when it came on to blow just as the sun was going down, and before they had got seven miles on thg road he was wet through, and it was nearly dark. “I couldn’t see the flock, but as I walked in front, I could hear Quick bark now and then,” he told me, “and 1 Warrant they were all right, and just on the left hand there was a little public-house. I thought"â€"I give it in his own words'â€"-H there could be no harm in having one glass of beer,” lone glass in the vernacular means one gallon) “ I suppose,” he continued, “ that I must have tied the dog to the sign-poyst, but I don't re- member it, and I stayedabout an hour,” (this is the vernacular for three hours at lcast), “ and I found from'thc landlord that I could turn in the sheep for the night, and get a shake-down myself. It was raining worse than over when I came out, and the first thing I saw was the old (log. Well, that put me out of temper, for I thought he had let the sheep run back, as they will ; so I sung out to him to go aftar thcm, and turned in to have another glass till he came bark. I came out in a quarter of an hour, and thch he was, wagging his stump of a tail, and not gone. I thought, as I sat in the chimneyâ€"corner, I heard him bark, and I made no more to do, but threw the crook at him. as I generally did, and,by bad luck,brokc his fore-leg. When the poor thing began to cry out, the landlord began to abuse me ; and when they brought the light, there were the sheep all lying under the hedge, as quiet as could be. They do. clared I shouldn’t go on, nor the dog either ; but I did, and old Quick hopped after me. I don’t remember nothing else but trying to find the field to put the sheep in 3 but just before the light broke I was awoke by the policeman throwing his bird’s-eye on me. He told me he heard the dog barking, and that when he came to within fifty yards there was the dog lying on my breast, calling for help like a christian. I was sober then, and 1 made two rough splints and a bandage, and did Quick’s leg up in a rough way ; and I’ve never struck a dog since, nor drank anything either, and I never will, and I’ve bought two cottages out of my savings.” “ What became of the old dog?” “Oh, I kept him till he died, thouuh for six months he was stone blind.

They make life aperpetual kind of triangularduel, with a chango_of combatants as occasion de- mands ; but always the duel. You never know who is who with them, for the bosom lrie-nds of yesterday will probably be their deadly enemies to-day, and unless you are duly posted you are apt to make awkward mistakes. And they quarrel for such absurd triflcs too. It a party be given and they are not invited, there is sure to bee coolness, then a flounce, next a snap, and last a quarrel. If, a myoptic friend, or a preoccupied one, passes them without seeing them, the whole battery of kettles is on the tire together, and the supply of hot water is unlimited, Lord! the turmoil there was last season bee ruse the Tumor Values gave a grand dinner and did not invite the Verpas or myself l They said it was a slight, an insult, a cut direct, and that we must take it up; at once. They did not mind so much for themselves, they said, as for me ; and in iact they would take it up chiefly on my account, and show the Turner Vanes they would not have a dear friend, as I was, slighted and insulted. Now I did not want to take it up. 1 hate taking things up; so much better let them alone! I do not expect to be asked every time my friends give dinner parties. Even the Turner Vancs, rich as they are, have but a limited amount of dining table 3 and so he one must be left out, so why not I as well as another? When I said all this to the Vespas, I thought they would have annihil- ated me on the spot ; and to this day I can see Mrs. Vespa’s bright black eyes flash as the tossed her hLad chr her shoulder, and said to her husband the MajOr, “I think, John, we have no turther business here." And they hadn’t for many a day after. The Vespas are a. large family, and scarce- ly a month parses without some deadly dis- agreement. among themselves, in which they expect thcr friends to take part. If they do they have cause to remember 1he old proverb about the bark of the tree; for when the family quarrel comes to an end, as it is sure to do so sooner or later, both sides fall on any unitary interloper who may n avc been about,and whether he has trimmed between both or made himself a. partisan of 0 .6, his certain doom is sacrifice. He is the victim offered up to the genius of renewed concord, and the whole family can never too loudly reprobate his interference, It is a. difficult position for friends; for what can you do when, on some sudden unloosing of those waters of stri e of which the Vespas can always command such overwhelming cascades, the Colonel says loftin ; “It you continue on good terms with my cousin the Major, I shall consider it a direct. insult to myself; and you know 1 have always snood by you 1” and, ten minutes after, the Major, and the Major’s wife, sim- ply propound their ultimatum: “Ourselves or the Colonel ; you cannot keep both.” What are you to do ? You like both sides as much as you like a Vespa: that is, with an efi‘ort to remember their good qualities, you have been on occasionally pleasant terms with both, if with many frequent skir- mishes intervening; why then should you be dragged by the hair of your head into a dispute which will be smoothed over before a month is out ? You know quite well that the llilng has no vitality, and as little rea- son 3 and that the only one =,to soda in the end will he yourself. But there you are, in a cleft stick; and the only way of escape is on to one or other of the two horns presented to you. And they are so eager to reckon their partizans that even a sympathetic look, or an attitude of interested attention while they are detailing their wrongs, is taken up and counted for gain 5 so if you have sympathetic looks for both, and an attitude of interesth attention impartially assumed, you will be set down as a hypocrite and timeservcr, deceitful and double dealing, and you will have both your friends on you at once, claiming you in concert. “Did you not say that I had been badly treated '2" cries one. “Did you not agree with me as to the horrible injustice of that person?” shouts another. “You know you took my part when you culled on mo,” says Mrs. Vcspa with the flashing black eyes. “What! do you deny that you confessed your sympathies went with me Y" seornful] y asks another Mrs. Vesper, with a look that withers you as you stand. The saints protect you! you are in for it without reprieve when the Vcspas quarrel among themselves, and either appeal to you for sympathy during,r the prooess, or fling you over when they have made up! Very painful is a family dinner at the Vespas, when they do not think it necessary to put on the curb. Mr. Vespa snubs Mrs. Vespa, and she snaps him ; and they all jungle together with the most profound in- difference to your presence. 01‘, if they re- member you, it is only to appeal to you and insist on your giving your verdict, and saying plainly who is right and who is wrong. And. they are not to be satisfied with anything but a plumper. You may try and temporizc, and weakly endeavor to please both sides, feeling indeed that it is an impertinence on your part to assume the office of judge between them ; but the Vespers don’t understand shilly shallythcy tell you, and half measures do not go down with them. “ Who is right ‘1" .You might as well take the plunge gal. luntly, and at first as well as at last; and my advice isâ€"go in for the wife. Always in all conjugal quarrels stick to the wife. In the end she is sure to have her own way ; and while she can retain you on her visiting list if you offend the husband, he cannot keep you if you offend her, and she makes up her Now there was that matter of Tom True- penny. I do not. think he meant to afi'ront me, and I never shall think so 3 but the Ves- pas said he d d, and that I ought to take it up. Why should I? If he liked to marry secretly, and not tell me for three months alter, why should I rcsent his rcticunce ? He had his reasons ; I was sure of that; and so 1 said ; but the Vespas insisted on it that I' should cut him dead. Poor {It'al‘ Tom. that I loved like my own brother! And whtn I said “no,” and stood for his oldest as Ian-ways promised to do, my high spirited fx'Icnds cut me for a twelvemonth, and told every one I was such a sneak they really could not countenance me any longer. Do you know the Vespas? They are warm-hearted people and wonderfully loyal friends. Indeed I never knew any people with such an immense idea of the duties of friendship as they have. They take up every one’s cause as their own, and are an eager for their friend’s honor as if they were :vei'sonal- ly interested in maintaining his ermine with- out stain. Between ourselves I think they are just a little too ready to see slightx where none is meant, and to make mischief, quite unintentionally, in consequence, They are always telling you that you owe it to your- self to take up this, and to resent that 3 and that you ought to show people you are not to be tl‘iflvd with, and that you understand your own value, and know what is due to ‘ you. And tho odd part of it is, they quarrel with you themselves if you will not quarrel with other. OUR FRIENDS. TH! VESPAS. The country lad, before he is sent up ‘-‘ to town" to commence his career there, is warned of the dangers which will beset him upon every hand. The parson cxhorts him, in touching platitudesâ€"which are none the less impressing because they are platitudesâ€" to keep in the straight path, to go to church twice every Sunday, to be regular in his at- tendance at Sunday school and Bible crass, andto avoid the society of ungodly men and women. Fathers and mothers entrcat him to keep steady, to work hard, and, above all, to write home very, very often to tell them how he is getting on, and assure him that, if he does this, he will not fail to rise in the world. In addition to all this, his determination to keep in the straight path is strengthened by a number of disinterested people, who forward him e small library, illusâ€" trating and setting forth the miserable future that is in store for those who are guilty of even the most trifling peccndilloesâ€"boolis which imply that if an unhappy youth, in one single instance, gives way to temptation, his descent down the dcelivity of ruin and mis- ery is rapid, and his ultimate destruction certain. Fortified by all these counsels. the wanderer starts forth, feeling frilly convinced that, come what may, he will resist every temptation that the Evrl One places in his path. And in this spirit he commences his career in the place of his adoption. But he does not continue ' very long in the same mind, and, as time goes on, the good counsel of the person, the tender advice or his father and mother, and the ndmonitions of the stir- ring books, are all alike ignored. The people, into whose company he is thrown, soon induce him to take different views of things. They laugh at him for his awkwardness and his peculiar opinions, as they dub them. They inform him that he must put an end to all that sort of thing now he has taken up his residence in civil- ized parts. He cannot stand their ridicule, and so he, ultimately, quietly places himself under their guidance. Then they commence his education. They intraduce him to music halls and casinos, to bar-parlors and billiard saloons, and he quietly submits to do jusr what he is told he ought to. In order to stand Well in their eyes, he evcn goes a few steps further than they do, and indulges in excesses from which they shrink back as from something dangerous. Of course, they applaud and call him a jolly good fellow, but, for all that, they do not cease to patron- ize. He is the Victim of numerous practical jokes, and the object of constant ridicule. His inexperience constantly displays itself, and induces him to do things which bring down upon him the laughter of his companions. These acts are not. in the majority of instances, foolish in themselves, but are so regarded from the stand-point of those wh.» think themselves so much cleverer than he is. For instance, he otten evidences a faith in human nature which is, positively, startling, He does not reliih the witty sallies of his friends when they are directed against him- self, and so imitates his companions in every particular. Very soon he trains himself to drink as much, swear as much, bet as much, and talk as noisy as they can. He plunges headlong, very often, into a life of though!- less and coarse dissipation, and at last comes out of the ordeal a iulHiedged ’eute, and deâ€" bilitated man of the world. He is, as a rule, only too well supplied with money by his friends at home, who shrink buck nom the idea that their boy should not to in a posi- tion to it old his own with his town associ- ates. Then his irecdom is unlimited, for there is no check whatever upon him. Be. sides this, he is entirely thrown upon his own resources for amusement. So there is some excuse, perhaps, for his developing into the disagreeable being which he sometimes does. It is somewhat astonishing that he, who has passed through all these transitory stages, should, of all people in the world, be the most determined and merciless tormentor of the greenhorns who come from the coun- try up to town. But, so it is. lie is the most contemptuously sarcastic at the various exhibitions of innocence and awkwardness displayed by rustic )ouths. To hear him talk, one would imagine that he had never been in the country. but that he had been born and bred in a realm of casinos and bil- liard saloons. He does not pretend to know anything about a country lite, except that it is intolerany slowâ€"so s ow, indeed, that it is a matter ct surprise to him how any body can manage to endure it. He has no patience with the unfortunate youngster who betrays any symptoms of home sick- ness, or an inclination to adhere to the old habits which have become almost second nature. If the youngster desires to be held in good estimation, he must, howuver great the wrench may be, discard those old habits and contract new ones, against which his better nature revolts. The force of ex? ample is strong, and he does this. He pro- ceeds to extend his knowledge, cheered on and encouraged by those who, once in their lives, stood in a position similar tothat which he occupies. It must be noted that this 0);- tension of knowledge is simply a knowledge of the manners, and customs, and mysteries ofa disreputable and dangerous portion of the community. It is not knowledge in the ordinary meaning of the word. ’Tis no credit to know anything of theology, metaphysics, political economy, or, even, the history of one's own country ; for to be well up in these matters, and to let it be known that such is the case, is simply to acknowledge one’s self a. nambypamby bookworm. There are a grunt many who do profess this, but they are le- g‘arded with dislike and affected contempt by the class under notice. A good many of these fully-developed green horns get into trouble ; and, perhaps, the pri. mary cause of this is that! buy fancy thcyknow a great deal more than they really do. They luck, too, in many cases, that greatest of all safeguards, discretion. What other people do7 they imagine they canâ€"if one man can afford to throw away a. sovereign, so, t09,can they, though they have to borrow the sove- reign before spending it. And this very Weakness makes them susceptible to plunder to an almost unlited extent. Besides) when they get into water beyond their depth, then: is no one by to lend them a hand to draw them out. There they must flounder as best they can,aml, if they do not possess sufficient vitality to swim, they must sink. - on a farm screwed into the neck, I an oven at 200 or 300 de heat At this temperatui bottle and the sulphur w< upon each other and cute Now, the sulphur, unit? would leave the carbon thus slowly arrange itseli form.

Greenhorns. -â€"-A half brother to Brigham Young WOIkS ; on a farm in Pierson township, Indiana, Chemistry, it is true, furnishes us wi'h hun. dreds of crystals of different forms, accord- ing to the character of the substances of which they are composed, and many of them are not‘found in mineralogy. Nature, how- ever, as by way of revenge, has produced in the course of ages, and under the influencehof actions, scarcely as yet recognized, crystals which art, directed by science, has not been able to imitate. Such is empliutitally the diamond, and many other minerals not embraced among gema. To the study of these geometrical forms, whether the proâ€" ducts of nature or of art, the celebrated Hairy, about the ,‘ucginning of this century, gave many years of his life, and out of this study created a new science, one of the titles to glory in the human mind. The old alcliemists contended the philoso- pher’s stone could be produced from the commonest substance possible, and nature seems to have favored this idea. in producing the most costly gems from the most worth- less materials. She converts, as we have seen, a small quantity of black and friable carbon into a transparent diamond of a hard- ness and brilliancy unequaled. She takes'a little of the glazing which the potter uses in his ordinary operations, and, coloring it with a trace of iron, produces a ruby or sapphire. From a little worthless pebble, with slight additions, she forms the topaz, the emerald, and the amethyst. Some of the last named gems have been reproduced in the furnaces of Sevres in the same manner, without doubt, as nature has elaborated them, in her vast v~ leanic workshops, by those mysterious operations which have given to Vesuvius the title of the great crystal manufactory. Every one knows of the sarcasm with which Rous- seau reproachei the chemist llouelle, de- manding of him that he should produce corn from the chemical materials of which it was composed, rather than destroy that already made in its analysis. What would he say if he had seen the chemist produce carbon from the diamond, as readily as from a bit of wood or sugar, while he was powerless from the carbon to create the precious gem ‘2 As soon as the Character of the diamond was discovorcd, chemistry aspired to emulate nature in producing the gem trom carbon ; but up to this time science has been baffled in her attemptsâ€"nature has never been induced to reveal the secret of her process. These geo- metrical produots of nature, when not worn Dy attrition, are as smooth and as polished as the finest cut glass. Colored crystals are also pmduced by nature as well as white ones. The red ruby, the blue sapphire, the green emerald, the yellow topaz, the violet amethyst, and the crimson garnet are all the products of her unrivaled laboratory. What is the diamond? It is the most rare and most priceless of minerals. What ‘is carbon? It is one of the most common of known substances, found in the earth in immense quantities and furnished by all plants and trees in great abundance. The diamond is priceless, since one of pure quality, of the weight of a twenty-five-i‘ranc pieceâ€"that is, of 125 caratsâ€"will have a money value of at least four millions of francs. Now, the value of an equal weight ofcarben is scarcely anything, and yet the two are identical; the diamond is only car- bon crystallized. Every one knows that if a body is dissolved in a liquidâ€"for example, common salt, saltpeter, sugar, or alum, in waterâ€"tho deposit left by evaporation of the liquid will present regular geometrical forms. Salt assumes a form identical with that of playing-dice, to which the Greeks gave the ‘ name of cubes ; saltpeter presents elongated? bodies with four flat sides and square endes ; sugar takes the form known as rock-candy ; and finally alum crystallizes into pointed py- ramids. This latter form is preciser the same as that under whth nature presents us with the crystals of carbon called diamonds. After the consideration of crystalized min- erals in nature, we should attempt the imita- tion of them in the laboratory. I do not mean such imitation as paste and col 1' pro- duceu. I rrfer to the reproduction as nature gin-s the gems tougand plopOSt: the making of real pl‘eciuus stones, such as has been at- tempted in the case of the diamond. I have already said that Ebelmau, at Sevres, has crystalized aluminium and silex thus making a. true wincllw. M. Dcspretz, in the experiments by which he h is volatilixed char- coal and the diamond, has also melted alâ€" uminium and silex. He has obtained from these Substances little hollow spheres, lincd inside. with (-rystals, like the cavities which are found in mines containing crystals of various kinds. In all the experiments of Desprctz, the exceedingly intense heat which he produecd by electricity only served to dis- sipate the particles of the diamond Without producing any erystulization. It is therefore evident that the diamond is not an ingenuus production. Its origin is probably electriL-g but What was the opoch of its first produc- tion from ordinary carbonY and where did its t-i'ystulizatiun begin 'I According to Mr. Bontiguy the carbon of the earth comes from showers of hydrogen, united with carbon, which watered us it were the earth when it was too hot to receive or. dinary rains. We have not yet Econ the bearing of this hypothesis of the crystalliza- tion of the diamond. I have already said that sulphur and carbon, in uniting together, produce in liquid as limpld as water or pure alcohol. Now, with this it might be we 1 to try the following experiment: Having filled a stlong iron bottle with the liquid, and havâ€" ing covered it with an iron stopper, lirmly' screwed into the neck, I would place it_i11 an oven at 200 or 300 degrees centigrade of heat At this temperature the iron of the bottle and the sulphur would possibly react upon each other and enter into combination. Now, the sulphur, uniting with the iron, would leave the carbon free, which might thus slowly arrange itself in the crystalline form. I merely propose this experiment, which might require a long-:‘ontlnued heat of uniform temperature, to illustrate the play of chemical affinity. The following paragraphs are extracted from an exhaustive article on the diamond and other precious stones, by M. Babinet, oi the Institute of France. It was translated for the Smithsonian Institution and is con- tained in the report for 1870. They should have had more sense than t]; venture out beyond their depth. For they form but few real friends. Those whose company they cultivate are simply friends so long as they have got money in their pocket, and the inclination to drink and in- dulge in every kind of conceivable debauchâ€" ery. They frequently become too reckless and Mass for ordinary] peeplc to take their: in hand. Besides they go not into that .‘o- cicty where they would be most likely to be thrown into contact with those who would not really disinterested and generously to- wards them. A church or chapel they rarely enter, nor do they patronize literary clubs or young mcn’s societies. Thus they are ex posed to the most contaminating influences and, in time, become contaminating them- selves.â€"Libcml Review. â€"-Collmgwood has been burglarizcd Can we Make Diamonds! I Terms “ One evening, returning home about nightfall, I sat down in a. rocking-chair in our‘sitting-room, while my wife went down stairs to prepare supper. From the kitchen she could have seen me if, in a somnambulic state, I had gone down either of the stair- ways, but she is positive that I did not go down stairs. I must have been but a few minutes sitting in the rocking-chair when I had an impulse to go down town. I had no special business, but felt that I must go, and I seemed to go down the stairs by the outside stairway. I was not conscious of any un- usaal sensation. I felt no want of my bodyâ€"no consciousness of being out of t, if I was out. I notictd that the street lamps were lit. Coming to an alley cross- . ing that was muddy, I considered that ,it was necessary to make a little etTort to spring across it and was astonished to find that I had jumped much further than I had anticipated. Wondering at my buoyancy, I thought I would spring up and see how high I could jump, and making the experiment, 1 was astonished to find that I had jumped so high that I looked into the second story win (lows, and it seemed to require something of an oflort to get down to the earth again. Passing on down street I met many persons returning from work, and it struck me as singular that none of them gave way to me. I had to get out of their way or they would have run against me. I came opposite a bank and noticed there was a light inside._ This did not astonish me, as I knew that in 111an y banks and stores a light is kept burning all night, but I looked in and saw a man inside counting notes, I felt a wish to go in, and I knew that the bank was shut and locked. I could see that, but it seemed to me lh’tl} the door did not close so tightly but I could slip in, and I did so I noticed exactly the hour that was shown by the bank clock, and could hear the clock ticking. I went opposite the man, who was busily engaged counting notes. He had hair a little gray, and very peculiar features. I noticed that he sorted the notes as he ran them over, throwing the different denominations apart,and then counting them. Observing this for a few minutes, I was suddenly seized with dread lest the man should look up, and, supposing I had come in with some felonious intent, do me some harm, as by shooting me before I could explain how I got in after the door was locked. In considerable trepidation, I for the moment could not see how to get out. I did not remember that I could go out where I had gone in. Wishing to have the man see me without being startled, and thinking that the best way to excuse my presence was for him to see me between him and the door, I went round to his side to attract his attention, but he did not seem to see me even when he looked toward me. I attempted to put my hand on his shoulder to insure his at- tention, but somehow I could not touch him. I spoke to him, but he did not seem to hear a word that I said. Recollecting then how I had got in, I went out through the door crack, and went straight home, the only noticeable incident being, as on going down town, that those I met did not give way to me. I had still to step aside, or they would have run against me. On getting back to our sitting room, I set- tled myself in the rocking chair, and the next thingl knew my wife was shaking me to have me wake up for tea. How long had elapsed from the time when I came home from work until my wife called me to supper I have no means of kto.v- ing exactly. Now, I might suppose that the whole was a dream, but for some unaccountable circumstances. One of these was that I had not previously noticed the bank in my waking hours. The next day after this curious experience I went down street as I had seemed to go the night before and I saw the bank, and the man whom I had seen counting notes was there behind the counter. I recognized at once his marked features and grayish hair. I do not think I had ever seen him in my waking hours before. I saw also the clock that I am certain I never saw before the night when I seemed to see it after I went into the bank. When I thus seemed to verily what I supposed I had seen the night before I had an inclination to tell the grry haired banker about it, but I feared he might suppose that I had been in the bank in person for some bad intent, and this restrained me. I am utterly at a l'css to account for my experi- ence. That I did not leave my sitting room my wife is confident. When she woke me I was in the chair as I was when she went down stairs. If there is a spirit distinct from body and it was that spirit went down street and saw things previously unknown, why was I not conscious ofbeing out of my body ’I What purpose could be subservcd by a spirit thus going out of the body without any ob- ject and look into strange places and then going back into the body ‘2 But how did I, when asleep in my rocking chair, fancy the incidents previously entirely unknown, yet which were so strangely verified afterwards '3" " Teefy, Esq â€"-â€"Mr. Phillips says “ the 4‘gyptians venti- lated their tombs generations before Euro- peans thought of ventilating their houses.” But the Americans have surpassed both; they have mastered the art of ventilating them selves. â€"We read that a worthy man, anxious to help adenominntionnl school, agreed to leave it $100,000 at his death, if the institution would pay him the interest on $100,000 at 6 per cent up to that event. The shrcwdncss of it lies in the fact that he could get his life insured for that amount for $4,000 01‘ $5,000, leaving him a very comfortable income beâ€" sides. That is, for a nice annual revenue of say $2,000, he would let any college insure his life for $100,000.
