I saw it kicked by the careless balmo­ nd of a jaunty mine. I saw a fat morsel of humanity make for it with a hey ! broken into diverse hey-es-eys by pudgy trotting, and I stopped and secured it, thereby causing the fat one to pull up short, Btare at me with two black cur­ rants set in a dreary expanse of dough, insert a dumpy thumb in an orifice of the same expanse, and trot back again with that stolid resignation under dLsap- Cointment which is the peculiar attri-ute of the London infantile population. Having ascertained the nature of my prize, I proceeded to meditate on the proper course to pursue, which medi­ tation resulted in the following adver­ tisement : FOUND.--This evening. Wednesday, in Re­ gents Park, nearly opposite the New College, a valuable diimond riug. The owner may re­ cover it by calling at No. 10 Wiuton place, etc. Before noon, on the following day, X was making my most courteous bow to a venerable-looking old gentleman, whose white face and benevolent smile added a double charm to the grace with which lie stepped forward, and, waiving cere­ mony, extended his hand, saying : " xou have taken a great weight from my mind, my young friend, and must allow me to thank you." The insinuating delicacy of the ad jective (I am not more than 45) was, perhaps, not without its effect I ac­ cepted the proffered pledge of amity in respectful silence. " A young man," continued the patri­ arch, " may possibly find it difficult to understand how the loss of a trinket can be the source of positive suffering to an old one ; but--I am alluding to my lost ring-- there are associations connected with it which--ahem ! This is childish; you will excuse my emo­ tion." I bowed profoundly in the presence of his natural emotion. "I have passed some hours of sleep? lessness and distress, from which you have been the means of relieving me ; I feel deeply indebted to you. There re­ mains nothing now but to reimburse you for--" "Excuse me, sir," I stammered, rath­ er hurriedly, " but, if the ring is yours, you can undoubtedly describe its armorial bearings." "Armorial bearings, sir! It was a diamond ring." "Certainly." "A plain diamond ring," repeated the old gentleman, sternly. "Do not at­ tempt to play tricks on me, young man. I will point out to you directly--'f "Ibeg your pardon," said I, drawing back from the outstretched hand, "but, as the ring in my possession is surely engraved with a crest and motto, I con­ clude it cannot be the one you are in search of/' Vie old gentleman eyed me for a mo­ ment keenly. _" I am afraid you are right," he sighed, in a tone of deep dejection ; " I must seek further. Alas ! what a mel­ ancholy termination of my hopeful jour­ ney." "Speed the parting, welcome the coming guest," is a very good motto. I made no attempt to detain my vener­ able friend; but as he turned toward the door I am certain I saw, beneath the silver hairs, a lock of dark and shin­ ing brown. My next visitor was a lady, extensive­ ly got up, of imposing height and car­ riage, rouged, scented, spectacled. "We meet under singular circum­ stances," began this lady, with a conde­ scending haughtiness ; "I am the prin­ cipal of a college for you®g ladies." With a deferential bow at the honor done me,I begged to know what had pro- cared it. "In the hours of recreation we are accustomed to promenade in the park-- a delightful spot, so suggestive of the blushing country. During our ramble yesterday a young lady under my charge was so unfortunate as to lose her ring. Ton, sir, are the fortunate finder." " I certainly did, madam, pick up a ring, but--" " Ah, how grateful my pupil will be at beholding it again!" exclaimed the teacher of youth, clasping her hands ec­ statically. "Describe it." "Describe it! ~A. diamond ring, hand­ some and massive, but plain." ••And the crest ? " ... '•The crest! Ah. that my young charge were with me 1 Stupid to have forgotten. The crest of the Deloraines. It is a lion, pa*#ant or--? No, I am wrong. Unfortunate that die should be too unwell to accompany me. Bnt it is immaterial; I will take it for her inspec­ tion; she will recognize it immediately." " I fear, madam, that I should scarcely be justified--" "Sir!" "1 feel it my duty," I said, firmly, "under the circumstances, to take every precaution a^uinst mistakes. I trust the young lady is not too seriously in­ disposed to give you the necessary in­ formation. " "Very well, sir. Exceedingly well, dr. I fancied--ves, actually fancied-- that I was speaking to a gentleman. You will find, sir, that the lady principal of a female college is not to be insulted with impunity. Good morning " Very harrowing this. I am scarcely recover: a from my lady governess, when there is a dash of wheels to the doort and a young fellow, flinging the reins to a groom in lively, springs up the steps to " (Hi, dash it !** be begins, breathing out a volume of stale tobaoco, " I beg your pardon, and that? tentthe old wom­ an-- dash it! that's my mother--told me I should flrfd my ring here ; sol ordered out the vessel and the cats and spun along like ninepence for it." " I shall be very glad to restore the ring I was so unfortunate to find when I can discover its owner." " Discover ! dash it! didn't I tell yon it's mine ? I say, I wish you wouldn't be so precious slow--I don't want the cats to catch cold--I've just had 'em shampooed, y* know, napthnd, and that. " What sort erf a ring was yours?" ^ "What sort? Oh, coire, as if you didn't know--that's good." I intimated that 1 should be glad to find out if he knew. " Not know my own ring, eh ! I know it's worth a couple of ponies. Come, jet's hear the damage ana I'll stump up." " I cannot give tip the ring unle^ayou describe it." " O, dash it! don't chaff a fellow now. I don't care a hap about the thing, only it belonged to some defunct party, and the governor would cut up so deuced rough. I've got heaps of em. Come, I'll swap you anyone of these because of governor." I respectfully declined the proposal. " Well, dash it," explained the young fellow, as though struck with a sudden idea, "what a couple of muffs we are! I could tell you in a minute if it's min«» dash it!" I replied that I was veir sorry that I could not oblige him, and, adding that he had better obtain an exact descrip­ tion of the tiling from his governor, I recommended him not to keep the cats longer in the cold. Mem. I am getting exceedingly tired of my treasure-trove. I retire to my room with a view of dressing to go out. I am infosmed that a lady wishes to see me, and I am afraid my mental calcula­ tion was not complimentary to the lady in question. A tall, graceful figure, draped in heavy mourning, rises at mjr entrance. She opens the negotiation in some confus­ ion, turningawav her face. She has come to me iu the hojte of regaining a ring, carelessly lout, the parting gift of a fond father to her brother and herself. My eyes rested on the crape about her dress--on her pale, beautiful face, from which the blush of confusion and timid­ ity had faded. Deferentially I request her to describe it. "A large diamond, handsome," she believed, " but valuable to her for far other reasons/' " But," I said, gently, "chased on the gold inside the ring there is--" "A crest; I am aware of it," she an­ swered, sadly, "but I know nothing of heraldry, and have never given it more than a second glance. My brother is dying, sir," she said, lifting up her pale face to mine. " Only this morning he missed the ring from my finger, uneas­ ily ; we were alone in the world ; it is the only relic left of one so lately taken from us ; how can I tell him it is loet ?" " I am sorry to pain you," I said, try­ ing to be firm, " but it would be more satisfactory tat all parties, and cause, bnt little delay, if you could obtain the description from your brother." Without a word she turned away; the mournful resignation of her air aud at­ titude touched me, and as r>lie turned I saw a tear roll silently down and full upon the hand stretched to the door- liaudle. I couldn't stand it. " Stop," I exclaimed, " one moment. I am sure--I feel certain--I may trust you. You will tell me-- I take the ring froui its' security; I hold it out timidly for/the blue e^es to examine. / 1 see vet the look of delight over­ spread her fine features--I see the ex­ pression of almost childish pleasure in her eyes as she looked up at me and clasped her hands and cried out: " The ring, the ring! O, Alfred, my dear brother!" Her hand was upon it; such-a tremu­ lous, happy eagerness in her glance; such a caressii g fondness in her way of fingering it How pretty she was. "My dear child (I am 45), it gives me sincere pleasure--" Then I stam­ mered ; then I sprang after her. "At least you will leave your address with me." " All, sir," she says, sadly, handing me the card on which she had l>eeu pen­ ciling, "some day you will be sorry for this. You do not trust me." Certainly I am a brute. The accent of reproacn in her voice hauntB me; the sorrowful glance of her eye--how pretty she is! I sit down to my breakfast in the morning, half inclined to call at the address given, and apologize for my heathenish distrust. How delightful to see "her in her own peculiar atmosphere, ministering to the hick brother who is all she has in the world ; to look upon, if one cannot en­ joy , the beautiful tenderness of a gentle sister to an afflicted brother. But my letters wait, and I toy with them. This is a hand I know. What does Fred want, I wonder? I tear«t open ! I read : DEAR JACK : Whatf ^ queer chance if you have etumbled nixni riiy ring. I was obliged to ran down to luimford late last evening, and never missed it till we Blackened at Uford. A pretty taking I've been in. If it's mine, the crert in inunle.

It is quite useless to call myself names. It is almost super­ fluous to add that when I called at a cer­ tain address in Easton Square, to in­ quire for Miss Lucy Hamilton, the lady was not to be found. Probably the "dear Alfred" had required speedy flange of air; probably brother aud sis­ ter were eV^n embracing in rapturous gratitude over the relic of one lost to them so lately. Was that de:tr one not lost, but transformed ? Had the silver- haired patriarch of - the first visit changed to the dashing buck of the third ? And was the virtuous teacher of youlh only the tender sister in masquer­ ade ? On my word, I believe so ; I dare say they are enjoying the joke. Possi­ bly it is a dodge often repeated. But what am I to say to Fred ? Guilty of Wrong. Some people have a fashion of confusing excellent remedies with the 1 urge nuum of " pat­ ent inediiines," and in tliL-i they are guilty of a wrong.

THE royal engineers have tried the ef­ fect of gun-cotton in bringing down two old chimneys at the dock-yard extension works, Chatham, England. The first was demolished by pluciug a necklace of gun-cotton inside the chimney, the total charge consisting of about four and a half pounds. The sccond was de­ stroyed by placing six charges of the ex­ plosive in the center of the base of the chimney, the total chargfe weighing I twenty-eight ounces. The experiment was very successful. At the instant the electric spark ignited the gun-cotton the chimneys became wrecks. _ AFTER a tolerably exhaustive examina­ tion of the biography of the subject, Dr. Otto Kuntze maintains, but on ground not quite satisfactory, that the gulf weed consists of many varieties or species of Sarga*sum vii fyarc, and that the plants so named in the lump are either dying or dead and incapable of reproduction. There does not appear to be any good reason for assigning a definite and con­ stant area to the Sargasso sea.

Winds also atfect the distribution of the patches with regard to each other and the posi­ tion of the whole mass of weed. ATTENTION has 'been directed by M. Moride to a new kind of food to which the name " nutrioine" has been given. Its preparation is thus described : Raw meat, trom which bones and tendons have been carefully excised, is passed into suitable machines along with nitro- genized alimentary substances, such as bread, to absorb the water of the meat, and, possibly, to form new combinations with it. Alter the mass thus prepared is dried in a stove under a mild heat it is pulverizod and sifted. A powder of an agreeable taste, and varying from vel- low to gmy in color, is the result. When albumen, fats, or gummed water is add­ ed to this powder solid cakes or cubes may be broken up, as occasion may re­ quire, for soups or sauces. This nutri- cine is admirably qualified to sustain physical vigor, and it can be preserved for any length of time if it is kept from the deteriorating influence of an atmos­ phere charged with moisture and from the action of heat Portrait of Uucle Ham. In personal appearauce, Unele Sam is a toll, bonv, healthy-looking man, ap- purently of 45 ; for, though born in 1776, lie bears lm age well, aud seems to be getting younger every day. He loves to brag of his establishment, and puts him­ self on such an equality with the people that a train of hangers on are always at his elbow. There are always at his ta­ ble a number of gray-headed old fellows, who were his companions in youth, and of whose serv ices he continually speaks. He loyes to boast how Tom Sucli-a-one saved his life at Bunker Hill, and how Dick Somebody whipped a fellow that assaulted him at Eutaw, He often, too, wipes liis eyes when he looks at the pict­ ure of a tail General, hanging up in his parlor, who, he says, whipped a fellow named Pakenham, who once tried to t#ke away one of his girls and a cotton bale. On these occasions Uncle Sam will become greatly excited, and, tidung off liis cocked hat--which, he says, was the gitt of his old friend George Wash­ ington--will swear he has the best land in the world, and can out-ruu, out-jump, and whip any man on the hill. In truth, these are but eccentricities of a character which is so mixed up with fenerous virtues as to be excusable, 'hough inclined to peace, he can some­ times play the braggart, and is one of those who, whilo he will give his life in the way of friendship, in the matter of bargains will stickle on the ninth part of a hair. At any attempt upon him of this character, he will shoulder his cane and act out as many maneuvers as a half- pay Lieutenant of iufantry. On the whole, he is one of those who will cud­ gel his best fiieud in a cause in which 'he is engaged, and embrace his bitterest enemy in whose conduct is observable the smallest principle of magnauimity and honor.--Southern Literary Gazette. >o More Hard Times.

Mr. TMAN ART HH Gtrl. The dress circle was adorned by a dys­ peptic-looking girl, with big feet, who had a brown wart on her face and a cer­ tain look about her which plainly told that she was fresh from boarding-school. Beside her sat a long, gawky young mau, who was from the country, and evidently smitten with the charms of the young lady Ifv his side, upon whom he would ever and anon bestow the most tender glances. During an intermission in tlie play he turned to her, and, in a voice as tender as a sirloin steak, said : "D n't yer think it's awful warm in thiis 'ere theater, Miss Mary? " She let fall on him a languid, pitying glance, and then replied : " All! yes, there exists a certain de­ gree of closeness which is deleterious to the comfort of one's physical being; but, my dear Mr. Weedles, you are no doubt perfectly aware of the fact tfiat chemistry teaches us that the exhala­ tions of so many individuals curbonizes the entire atmosphere, vitiating it to a degree which renders it poisonous to the respiratory organs, as well as to tlie corpuscles in the blootf, producing nau­ sea, and in some cases syncope. "You oan see at a glance, Mr. Weedles, that this is caused by the lack of oxygen." " Yes, I know 'em, that is, f've read of 'em, but hain't never seen any yet, as I know on ; but when Bi!l Witkins, at their protracted meeting down on Goose creek, said that the heart was a part of the stomach, I told him it was the derndest he he ever spoke." " Oil, dear! how absurd it was in him to make such a statement. Why, don't you know that the palpitation of tlie vise us generates a subtle electrical force which is the most mysterious, wonderful and startling power which propels the anatomy of the genus homo ? " " I--I have--yes, I've heern tell of it afore, but I don't stick myself up as knowing every thing. I ain't that kind of a man. The folks used to say--and was powerful proud of it--that I warn't no sloucher on grammer; but won't you have some peAnuts, Miss Mary ?" and he wiped the cold perspiration from his brow, and trembled with nervous­ ness. " None, thank yon, Mr. Weedles; peanuts have a strange effect on my gasstr<momical organs." " I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Mise Murv, because you recollect before you went off to school that I used to bring you peanuts, and we used to sit astraddle the garden fence and eat them. Don't you remember how your old mother used to say that new peanuts were awfuj colicky ? Them were happy days, Miss Mary," and the humble lover sighed as low as a note on a bass-fiddle. "Oli, Mr. Weedles!" she said, blush- ingly, " I want to ask you sometliing. Did you not say on one occasion that I was possessed of a moiety of the divine aillatus, aud thrrf1 you thought I was a beiugf entirely too seraphic and ethereal to exist on this mundane sphere ?" " Miss Mary," said the lover, and his eye flushed and" breast heaved, "it's a mean, underhand lie. I never said a word ag'iu you iu my life, and I'll just be eternally goldurned if I can't just naturally walk the log of any man who tries to scandalize me liehiud my back. 1 always said Miss Mary Jones was the sweetest gill in the country, and--" But the curtain went up, and the rest of the conversation was lost in the crash of tlie orchestra.

The Inventor of the Bell Rope On * Trains. The late Captain Ayres, of Patterson, N. J., was the inventor of the present l»ell rope system on railroads. When he commenced running on the New York aud Erie Ifeiilroad the locomotive had no cab for the engineer--nothing but a framework. There t was no way to go over the cars nor for the engineer to communicate with the conductor when the train was iu motion. Iu those days, instead of the conductor running the train, as at present, the engineer had en­ tire churge, and the conductor was a more collector of fares and tickets. In 184*2 Ayres inaugurated a system of sig­ nals by a cord running over the cars to tlie engine, where it was attached to a stick of wood. Ayres' engineer, a Dutch­ man uamed Hnmill, resented the innova­ tion, cut the stick loose, and the conduc­ tor and engineer hud a fight at Turner's over the matter, A vers whipping his en­ gineer badly, and thereafter conductors, and uot engineers, had charge of trains.

Extensive faotories have been hnilt cm most of the many wharves out into P&ssama<|nod4]r baj, and from small beginnings the putting up of these little fish has attained kig* proportions. The fish used are vary small herrings, which a few years ago were considered almost worthless, being used only for pomace. They are very abundant at certain seasons of the year, and are caught in large weirs, constructed for the purpose, along the shore of the neighboring islands. The weirs some- whsit resemble a rustic fence extending out into tilt; water. The fish swimming in with tlie tide are left as tlie tide falls below the weir, and are taken by means of dip-n»ts, by men who go into the weirs in boats for that purpose. Some­ times a hundred hogsheads of fish we taken at one time. On reaching the factory the fl«f» go through a process of drying, and then, when partially fried in olive oil, are pnt up in small tin boxes bearing a French brand, and cannot be distinguished in Rppearanee from the imported article. Thousands of these boxes are put np in a (lav, almost a thousand persons being employed in the businesa These fac­ tories are controlled by New York firms. There are, too, other ways of prepar­ ing these fish. One variety resembling very much the potted herring, and pre. pared with mustard, are called marinas* and find a ready sale in the Western markets. During the winter great quan­ tities of herring, which are too large to pnt up in this manner, are frozen, and are shipped in barrels to all parts of the country. THK injuries we do, and those we suffer, are seldom weighed in the same balance. RHEUMATISM A B S O L U T E L Y C U R E D . BY TUB C»K or DR.
