IN time of peace, the town of Miranda on the Ebro derives its chief import- Mice from the commerce which is car­ ried on between the Basque provinces and old Castile, hut during the last war its importance was greatly augmented by the strong garrison it contained, and by its proximity to several well fortified pi***. .W In the month of May, 1838, a young lady, whose countenance exhibited the traces of recent sorrow, was seated in an apartment of one of those stately man­ sions that adorn the town of Miranda. By her side was a young man, apparent­ ly about twenty-five years of age, whose military uniform showed that he be­ longed- to a band of foreigners, who, after having distinguished themselves at Algiers in the cause of France, had transferred their services to the liberal party in Spain. "Ah' njy dear Cecilia," said the young officer to his fair companion, "the cruel determination of your father has ruined all of onr hopes. I imagine that the chivalry, which formerly distinguished the Spaniards was not yet quite extinct, and that noble birth might make amends for the want of iortune. But I find I was mistaken; a Polish noble is not deemed worthy to be the son-in-law of the rich Don Miguel Requana. He miglit, however, have been more courte­ ous in his refusal." "Alas! dear Arnold," said the lady, "our civil dissensions have soured my father's temper. He is even more harsh with me than lie used to be; and he has threatened to send me to the house of one of his friends, where I shall be treated with severity, as a punishment for what he terms my obstinacy. But you, Arnold, what are your prospects? where do you intend te go? Tell me without delay, for my father will be here shortly." ., (, "Your father," replied Arnold, "has ihdticed the commandant to order me to quit the town. I have no means of resisting this arbitrary act. 1 shall bid adieu, therefore, to Miranda to-night, and as soon as I have settled a little business which has detained me on the frontier for some time, I shall go to ' Paris, to one of my relations, who holds a lucrative position under the French government, and if I find him willing to aid me, I shall apply again to your father, without the fear of meeting with a refusal; for the great obstacle that now opposes our union will then be re­ moved." The lovers, fearing that Don Requana might surprise them, were obliged to separate, after having, as is invariably the custom on such occasions, vowed » eternel fidelity to each other. The scene of our tale is now removed to a beautiful villa, situated on the sum­ mit of a hill near the sea-shore, about a mile from the port of Santander. Nearly a month after the interview we have described, on a fine evening, about an hour before sunset, Don Mendez, the respectable proprietor of the villa just named, wan seated at one of its windows, which he had thrown open to admit the evening breeze, observing at­ tentively a small vessel which had just appeared in the oiling. She was so dif­ ferently built r.nd rigged from the ves­ sels which lie saw daily passing from 'Santandar Bill>oa, that lie could neither guess the service she was in, nor whith­ er she was bound for. At length, hav­ ing exhausted his imagination in fruit­ less conjectures, he shut the window, and retired to join lifa family. Had he observed the strange vessel a few min­ utes longer, it is more than probable that he would have, been furnished with subjects for further speculation, quite as perplexing ns those which had so recently bafiled his sagacity; for he hpd no sooner left the window than she changed her oourse, and stood for the shore, where, favored by a smart breeze, Bhe arrived in less than half an hour. When her anchor was cast, a boat was hoisted out. into which three men de­ scended, and rowed to a little point of land, at a little distance from the house of Don Mendez, where one of them landed and was absent nearly an honr; when he returned; the boat was rowed back to the ship. On its arrival, three men descended from the poop of the vessel and asked the man who had been on shore, if he thought their enterprise would be successful. "I have no doubt of it," he replied, "the house appears to lie easy of access, and its inmates are as unguarded and as tranquil ns #e could doaire: and I think the sooner we make the attempt the >»e* ter." i lour persons might, from their :.U ^ flarfcHamhaen taken for CarliatofiattS., • had i% not been that each of them bad on his chin a tuft hair, which fashion was regarded by Carlists as expensive flitliesof republicanism or liberalism,! both of wfcioh they held in utter ab­ horrence. "I fcave my doubts respecting the propriety of the business we are going on," said one of them; "I am not sure that it ia just to force an individual to pay the debts which the government of his country have incurred. Six months ago I thought it right enough, but now that we are abont to put it into execu­ tion, it seems to me more like the action of a set of brigands than of soldiers of honor.*" "Your scruples are rather too late," replied another; "you would not surely advise us to abandon our enterprise •now." "No, but we must not demand a far­ thing beyond what is due to us.w "Certainly not. It is time, however, for us to act; for we must be far away from this before the sun rises." The four adventurers then stepped | Into the boat without further discos- si on. and made for the land; where we shall leave tUgm-for a short time, to pay » visit to Don Mendez, who was com­ fortably seated at sapper, along with his wife and three young ladies, two of whom were his daughters. After sap­ per was over, the worthy Don lighted his cigar, and began to* expatiate, at great length, on atrocities committed by the Carlists. As he proceeded, his im­ agination began to warm, and he related ft© his frightened hearers, with aston­ ishing accuracy, some of the exploits •*>f Cabrera, whom he desoribed as hay­ ing killed, if not actually eaten, an im- Imense number of Christianos. "Gracias a Dioa!" exclaimed Senora Mendez, after a long pause; "we are safe here from the ravages of tliia un­ natural war." She had hardly uttered these words Jwheu the blood forsook her face, and her eyes became fixed and haggard. The Don looked about in alarm, to discover what had frighted his wife, and lie saw three armed men, habited like Carlist officers, standing in the middle of the room. The young ladies shrieked for help. "You have nothing to fear," said one of the intruders, courteously. "To what am I indebted for the honor of this visit?" inquired the Don, in a tremulous tone of voice; and how can |I repay your courtesy ?" "That you can easily do," replied the officer who had spoken to the ladies; "as soon as you have given us the sum you will find mentioned in this note, we will leave your house quietly; but should you refuse, we shall be compelled to help ourselves." When the Don had examined the note, he exclaimed* "The sum is enormous; I do sot pos­ sess the half of it." "Come," said the soldier, sternly, "we are not to be trifled with; if you have not more than half of it, we will aooept an order on one of the mercantile houses of Bayonne or Bordeaux for the other half. But beware; if you deceive us, I promise you this will not be the last visit we shall pay you." The Don, finding that remonstrance was useless, paid the money. As he was counting it out, a fourth officer en­ tered the room. One of the young ladies Btarted up in surprise, and uttered, in a snrpressed manner, the name of "Ar­ nold," which the soldier responded to by calling her his dear "Cecilia." The next moment they were locked in each other's arms. Arnold then drew Ceci­ lia aside, and after a few minutes' con­ versation, they left the room together. The other officers, having received the money, prepared to follow their companion; but, previous to their de­ parture, they told the Don that they had a party stationed a short way from his house, and that if he or any of his household attempted to give alarm be­ fore the expiration of an hour, he must abide the consequences; but that, after that time, he would be free to act as he thought fit. The threat had the in­ tended effect, for the soldiers gained their vessels without molestation. On the following morning Don Men­ dez informed the authorities of the Santander that his house had been sur­ rounded during the night by a numer­ ous body of Carlists, who, in spite of the energetic resistance made by him and his servants, had succeeded in car­ rying off everything valuable they could lay their hands on. Soldiers were immediately sent in pursuit of the marauders \ but the search proved fruitless, for no one gave any tidings of tiiem. About three months after the attack, in which the warlike qualities of the Don had shone so conspicuously, a mes­ senger arrived at his dwelling with parcel containing the exact amount of money that had been so unceremonious­ ly borrowed of him on the occasion re- referred to; and, a few days after, he re­ ceived a letter from Don Requana, in­ forming him that Cecilia had just been married at Paris to a Polish noble, who had distinguished himself as a soldier in the service of l>oth France and Spain. This news made Don Mendez very re­ served on the subject of the attack; but somehow or other, a rumor got abroad in the town of Santandor that the nu­ merous body of Carlists who had pil­ laged the house of Don Mendez con­ sisted of only four Polish officers in the service of Spain, who, finding that the Spanish treasury was too poor to pay them their arrears, had resorted to this rather unjustifiable mode of paying themselves. » IOUB HELTUU AX& JRTTFILLK,.

Is there a standard be tween height and wieght?' A healthy child, male or female, grows in length by more than one-half its size during the first two years; it increases from 50 pet cent (19*685 inches) t* about 711 per cent (31.10.) It trebles or quad­ ruples its weight; that is to sav, it weighs 3 to 4 kil. at birth (equals 7| to 10 pounds); 10 kil. at birth (25 pounds) in the first year 12 kil. (30 pounds) in the seoond. On the average, a child from 6 months to eight years) grows m length about 6 per cent, each year (equal 2.4ti22 inches); the weight of the body goes on increasing to the 8th year, rising in boys to 20 kil. (50 pounds) and in girls to 19 kil. (47 j pounds). From thfs age (8 years) until puberty boys increase in height 55 per cent (2.165 feet) each year, reaching at the age of 12 years a height of 138 per cent (over 4.52 feet) and girls 135 per cent (4.421 feet) on an average. Boys gain about 2 kiL (5 pounds) in weight per year, girls a little more, so that in the 12 year children of both sexes weigh, on an average, about 30 kil. (75 pounds). From 13 to 20 years youths grow some 30 per cent (11.8), girls 20 per cent (1.8 inches). The increase of weight is even more rapid than before, reaching 58 kil. (145 pounds) in boys 18 years old, aad inr girls of the same age 51 kiL (1374 pounds). In the 25th year the man is 168 per cent (over 5£ feet in height), »nd weighs 53 kil, (157j pounds), white the woman is 157 per cent (5.15 feet in height), and weighs 53 kil. (1274 pounds) Mau in the 40th year attains his max­ imum weight, 63.6 kil. (159 pounds), and then begins the loss of flesh. Women continue to grow heavier, reach­ ing about 56 kil.

It is desirable for all persons, whether suffering in health or otherwise, to know as near as possible what the nor­ mal weight should be. We are indebted to the late Dr. Hutchinson for weighing alone 2,600 men of various ages. There is, indeed, an obvious relation between the height and weight so particularly weighed and measured. Starting with the lowest men in the tables, it will be found that the increased weight was as nearly as possible five pounds for every inch in height beyond sixty-one inches.

The Virginio City Enterprise says that mules never kick when in a tun­ nel, or at least not when in the Sutro tunnel. They are the pets of the min­ ers, are fond of pie and cake, and even sniff the fluid in the flask with evident longing for a snifter, bt.t their prefer­ ence is for coffee. In going from the dark mine into the glaring light the mule is blinded. To overcome this on going out one eye is covered with a green patch. On the return this is re­ moved, thus keeping one eve always ready for service. The brute is so .stubborn that it will not pull unless it can see its way ahead. Horses were first tried in the tunnel, but had to be given up on account of their knocking their brains out against the rocks over­ head. When anything touches a horse's ear he will throw his head up as far as he can, but a mule does exactly the re­ verse, hence it got the job. It is as much as a man's life is worth to offend a mule in the Sutro tunnel. The min­ ers do the kicking for them.

The complaint has been general in England that scent gets worse and worse every year, and it is suggested that the dogs are partly to blame for this. Nose has been sacrificed to other qualities, such as legs and feet, but something should be charged to mod­ ern agriculture. Land and Water de­ votes some space to the discuisidiii of the phenomena of soent: Is any one to be found bold enough to say he has mastered even the rudi­ ments of the phenomena of scent? It has long been found that not even a southerly wind and a cloudy sky is a certain prelude to a day's sport." The late Lord Fitzliarding once remarked he had hunted hounds for over fifty years, but knew no more about the chances of soent or the reverse than he did when he first began to carry the horn. The poet Somerville declared that "on the air depended the hunter's hopesand the great Beckford, while approaching the subject with much dif­ fidence, thought scent mainly depended on the state of the ground and temper^ ature. Other writers have fancied soent varies much in different foxes, and the celebrated Nimrod was much of this opinion. We all know certain conditions under which hounds as a rule are unable to get along, but we know nothing more. On most seem­ ingly unfavorable days they can often run to distraction; on others, with ap­ parently everything in their favor, they can only walk after a fox. A cold, raw, windy day is, so far as can be judged, the most unfavorable to hounds, as are also those sunny, gaudy days we get some time in spring and autumn. One thing is well ascertained, and that is, pastures carry a better .scent than arable lands. The reason is not so easy to explain, but the fact remains. It is commonly sAid that the earth sticking to the fox's pads prevents the ground being tainted with the effluvia, and that when the ground is wet, and "carries," as the term is, hounds can­ not even puzzle out the line by slow hunting. Thi# never seems a very sat­ isfactory explanation, though it is the one generally given to inquirers. In all countries there are coverts# and certain fields, which are notorious for an utter absence of scent, and usually without any assignable cause. We are almost tempted to think that no general rule can be laid down, but tliat the phenomena of scent vary In different countries, according to the diversity of soil and prevailing winds. There can b ? no doubt that the modern crowded fields are all against hounds and in favor of the igx. It has l>eeu said > that hounds, if left entirely to their own devices, would rarely miss catching their fox, but now they are harassed by the field, and often by a too officious huntsman. As a.nwtter ot fact, those liest able to matter would pronounce the countrhry to be tho case, and would say there are but few days on which honnds would be successful by their own unaided efforts. Never to let the fox get far ahead is the great maxim of the day, and a very sen­ sible one; for we all know how quickly on bad days he can run himself out of •cent and danger. THK sun does not stand stilt in the heavens for a man's lie; he hears too many untrue speeches, and sees to many false faces in his daily task of shining alike upon the just and the unjust--ho is used to it and goes on his way; and time follows him, striving to keep pace and to swell the puny minutes of its pulse into an eternity.--F.

Audi JWjtli tlfDMly the kind of e|l| in such books are wooa engravings. In wood engraving, the llnee that are to ink the paper are left standing, while ther parts between are cut away from the block, so that when an ink roller is passed over an engraving of this kind it leaves all the.-line# tipued frith a coating of ink, to |>e pfeked up |y the sheet of paper whicb cOmea in contact i with it. So, you will see, the wood- ! engraver must sink two lines in the block to make one line which will j»rinf. Of course, considering the hardntess of the wood and the delicacy required for the lines, this is very slow and tedious work. You may easily form some idea of how tedious it is by placing a penny over any portion of an engraved picture, --making a light mark around the penny with a black lead pencil, and then by the aid of a maguifyiug glass counting the lines within the circle. You will see that your penny has cov­ ered more than one hundred lines; and then you must remember that at every place where the shading in the drawing which the engraver is engraving grows lighter or darker he has to change the width of the line; for just in proportion to the thickness of the black line left between the two white ones will be the "tint" or "color" of the corresponding portion of the printed picture! These changes are called by engravers "stops." And where there are many of these, one square inch of engraving is a fair day's work. I have spoken of a drawing, for the engraver always has a drawing to work from. Sometimes it is made upon the wood-block, but it is more frequently made by the artist much larger than the block on which it is to be engraved, and a reduced copy of it produced upon the block by photography. By this plan the artist cam work muoh more freely, and the engraver is ena­ bled to have the large drawing in front of him, besides the reduoed copy of the same which he is cutting into lines upon the block.--W.

Several years ago be became afflicted wlta most distressing troubles, whlsh prevented the prosecution of his duties. He was languid, and yet restless, white at tines a , dizziness would come over him which seemed almost, blinding. His will power was strong, and he determined not togireway to the BU S- I terlous lntiuonce which seemed uhdermintng his life. But the pain and annoying symp- to.r.s were stronger than his will, and he kept growing gradually worse. About that time be began to notice a dfR&uHp m drawing on bis boots, and it was by die greatest effort that he was able to force his teet into them. In this manner several weeks pawed by, un*r1 finally one night, while hi (rati amniv ta . discovered that his feetliad, InTshonwtile, swollen to enormous proportions. The bal­ ance of the narrative can best be described in his own words. He tald: "When my wife discovered the fact that I was so bloated, she sent for the doctor im­ mediately. He made a most careful exami­ nation and pronounced me In a very serious condition. Notwithstanding his care, I grew wort-o, and the swelling of my feet gradually extended (inward in my |>odv. The top of my head pained me terribly; iud3ed, so badly that at times it seemed almost as if it would burst. My feet were painfully cold, and even when surrounded with hot flannels and irons felt as If a etronsr wind were blowing on them. Next my right leg became paralysed. This gave me no pain, but it was exceedingly annoying. About tills time I began to spit . blood most freely, although my lungs were in perfect condit in, and 1 knew it did not come from them. My physicians were careful and untiring in their attentions, but uliable te relievo my sufferings. My neighbors and friends thought I was dying, and maby called to see me, fully twenty-five on a single Sunday that I now recall. At last my agony seemed to culminate in tho most Intense, sharp pains I hare ever known or heard of. If red-hot knives, sharpened to the highest degree, had been run through my body oonntantly they could not have hurt me worse. I would spring up in led, somctimsa as much as three l'eet, cry out in my agony and long for death. One night the misery was so intense that I arose and attempted to go into the next room, but was unable to lift my swollen feet above tbe little threshold that obstructed them.
