Bat he gave to her question no heed\u2014 PUcea his feet in the stirrups and galloped away, On his bran new velocipede.g young wife, Then Lady Bell cried in frantic alarm, ^ What a monster my lord is, indeed ; To ride thus away from his lovin On that horrid velocipede.\u201d Lord Lovell returned broken-hearted and sore, Broken-armed, and alas ! broken-kneed ; For he struck on a post, nearly gave up the ghost.And smashed his velocipede.KOBAL.Remember the fate Lord Lovell ha* met, Let this be your warning and creed : Stay at home with your wife for the rest of your life, And beware of the velocipede, Pede, pede, And beware of the velocipede.RAMI] -THE NEW FIBRE.A day or two ago we published an article from one of our American exchanges giving some particulars of the appearance and capabilities of Ramie as a textile.We see by the Journal of Agriculture that Dr.Roezel, the French Botanist, has published a pamphlet giving all the necessary information to those interested in the new discovery.Machines for preparing the fibre are already patented, and the advantages it possesses for use in the manufacture of textile fabrics are found to be as follows 1.That the fibae of the Ramie is stronger than that of the best European hemp.2- That it is fifty per cent stonger and better than the Belgian flaxen or linen fibre.3.\tThat the Ramie fibre may be spun as fine as that of flax, and wiU be doubly as durable.4.\tThat the plant is a vigorous grower, and will produce far the greatest amount of textile fibre than any plant hitherto known.5 That it will produce, within the belt in which it flourishes, from three to five annual crops, each equal to the best gathered from hemp.It requires less labor than cotton, is not destroyed by the caterpillar, does not suffer from excess of rains, and.withstands the longest drought without injury ; can be taken from the field in the morning, and a few hours after, a nice fine fibre may be had by using a cleaning machine patented by Roezel.The fibre of this plant is, when cleaned, without bleaching, purely white, far finer than cotton or flax linen.The plant, in a warm latitude, is perennial, and the crops from it are taken like those of cane, by cuttingit at the ground ; from the rattoons a new growth springs up at once, giving from three to four and even five cuttings per annum in Louisiana, Middle and Lower Mississippi, Alabana, Texas, Gedrgia, Florida and South Carolina.Rich sandy grounds suit best, but it is so vigorous that it will do well anywhere, and the roots, or pieces of roots and stalks can be used to enrich the plantation.Already the new fibre is quoted in the foreign prices current, and even in November last, before the facilities for cleaning, picking and carding had been fully provided, the article was quoted in the Liverpool market at i.35 per ton in the green state ; .£50 for white ; and £280 to £300 her ton when dressed ready for mixing with cotton or silk.It is evident that this plant is destined to become one of great marketable value, and the Southern States of the Union will, as with cotton, reap a rich reward from its cultivation.TOY DON\u2019T BOYS LEARN TRADES ?The present generation of young men seem to have a strong aversion to every kind of trade, business, calling or occupation, that requires manual labour ; and an equally strong tendency toward some so-called \u201cgenteel\u201d employment or profession.The result is seen in a superabundance of elegant pen-men, bookkeepers, and clerks of every kind who can get no employment, and are wasting their lives in the vain pursuit of what is not to be had ; and a terrible overstock of lawyers without practice and doctors withont patients.The passion on the part of the boys and young men to be clerks, office attendants, messengers, any thing, so that it is not work of the kind that will make them mechanics or tradesmen is a deplorable sight to those who have full oppor-tunitisi to see the distressing effects ; in the struggle for such employments, by those unfortunates who have put it out of their power to do anything else by neglecting to learn some permanent trade or business in which trained skill can always be turned to account.The applications for clerkships and similar positions in large establishments are numerous beyond anything that would be thought of by those who have no chance to witness it.Parents and relatives, as well as the boys and young men tbemselvef, seem to be afflicted with the same infatuation.To all such we say, that the most unwise advice you can give to your boy is to encourage him to be a clerk or a book-keeper.At the best, it is not a well paid occupation.Very frequently it is among the very poorest.This is the case when the clerk is fortunate enough to be employed ; but it he should happen to be out of place, then comes tho weary search, the fearful struggle with the thousands of others looking for places, the never-ending disappointments, the hope deferred that makes the heart sick, the strife with poverty, the humiliations that take all the manhood out of the poor souls, the privations and sufferings of those who depend upon his earnings, and who have no resource when he is not earning.No father, no mother, no relative, should wish to see their boys or kindred wasting their young lives in striving after the genteel positions that bring such trials and privations upon them in after life.How do those deplorably false notions as to choice of occupation get into the heads of boys ?Why dk> they or their parents consider it more ( genteel \u2019 or desirable to run errands, sweep out offices, make fires, copy letters, Ac., than to make hats and shoes, or lay bricks, pr wield the saw or jackplane, or handle the machinist\u2019s file, or the blacksmith\u2019s hammer ?We have heard that some of them get these notions at school.If this be true, it is a sad perversion of the means of education provided for our youth, which are intended to make them useless drags and drones.Should it be so that the present generation of boys get it into their heads that, because they have more school learning and book accomplishment than their fathers had, they ;must, therefore, look, down upon the trades that require skill and handicraft, and whose productions make up the vast mass of the wealth of every coun-frLthen it is time for the controllers and the d\u201c*ctor> to have the interior walls of the school houses covered with maxims and mottoes warning them against the fetal error.Are Plante in Windows Beneficial or Injurious to Health ?{To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.) Sib,\u2014A great deal has been said and written about plants in windows, some asserting their tendency to injure health, aud others the contrary.There is one point, however, in which I think all will agree, and that is their beautiful appearance.Whether in the splendid halls and drawing-rooms of tho wealthy, or in the homble cottage of the poor, there can be but one opinion respecting their appearance.What artificial splendour can compete with a number of handsome flowering plants in the windows of our rooms?Certainly none.Their beautiful green leaves, contrasted with their blossoms of varions forms and colors, present an appearance altogether beyond the reach of art ; and during the winter months, when the ground is covered with snow, and the gardens present an appearance of desolation, then w bat a feast is presented by plants blooming away in your house'(heedless of the chilling blasts without), enlivening the dreariness of winter, spreading an odoriferous perfume through your apartments, and rivalling in beauty many of those tender kinds, which only delight us with their fragrant flowers daring the genial sammer weather, not able to bear up against the chilling and frosty air of winter.With regard to the choice of flowers for windows, of course that is a matter of taste ; but for the cottager, I think, he will find the scarlet and other Pelargoniums, Cineraria, Calceolaria, Heliotrope, Salvia tplendut, Nerium, Coronilla, Fuchia, Myrtle, Hydrangea, Monthly Roses, and Chinese Primroses, to be be amongst those which, with careful cultivation, will succeed well, and be both cheap aud elegant acquisitions to his apartments.Let us now consider for a moment tho principal question on the subject,\u201cAre they beneficial or injurious to health?\u201d and we shall endeavor to show clearly, and upon philosophical principles, that in moderate quantities they are decidedly healthy.Our atmosphere is simply a mixture of oxygen, or vital air, (so-called because no animal can live without it,) and nitrogen (called azotic g&s, because it would immediately deprive any one of life who was to breathe it,) with an exceedingly small quantity (about 1 part in 1000) of carbonic acid gas, which is also poisonous, and, of course, several adventitious substances, such as watery vapor, etc.Now, every mouthful of air which we inhale deprives the atmosphere of so much of its oxygen or vital air, and every time we inhale, or breathe, a certain amount of carbonic acid gas is expelled from the lungs, which, -as we have already remarked, is a deadly poison ; plants, on the contrary, during the day, when i&posed to light, give off a considerable quantity of oxygen, and greedily absorb the carbonic acid gas contained in the atmosphere given off by the breathing of animals.Thns the plant purifies what the animal has poisoned.This, I think, is a sufficient evidence that plants in rooms are decidedly healthy.Bat when I state this, I mast also assert that in bed-rooms they are exceedingly dele-tenons, as, daring night, or when plants are shot ont from the infinence of light, they give out carbonic acid gas, and absorb oxygen from the atmosphere, aud instead of purifying the air, help to poison it.Floriculture is amongst the most humanising and the most innocent of all pleasnres ; and surely everything which tends to diffuse such pursuits, is a point gain-, ed for happiness and virtue.Let us endeavor then to remove the prejudice which exists against flowers in windows, by showing that, (except in sleeping apartments,) they are not only interesting and beautiful, but are actually conducive to the salubrity of the atmosphere.J.Dunk, Gardener to R.Hamilton, Esq., Hamwood.March 10,1869.SCREWING DOWN TEACHERS.In former notes, we adverted to the underpayment of teachers as one cause of the deficient supply of educational talent.Onr remarks then had reference chiefly to stated salaries or endowments, as provided by town-councils and heritors.We wonld now address a few words to parents, on the two common practice of negotiating with teachers for a reduction of the school fees.Some parents go to a school, as they would to a shop, to purchase a certain quantity of education, as they wonld food or clothing, at the lowest possible price.They inquire the amount of the fee, and whatever that may be, a guinea or a half-crown, they object and propose and an abatement.Their arguments are amusing : \u201cSchooling is very dear to what it was when they were young\u2014Mr.So-and-so charges far less\u2014teaching is but little trouble,\u201d Ac.Others, we have heard,claim a redaction because the pupil is very young or very httle, quite forgetting that there is at least as much trouble in teaching a very young child as one more advanced, and that a greater amount of professional skill is requisite in the former than in the latter case.Parents of a third variety may be found demanding a discount because they have three or four to pay lor ; and thay quietly hint, that if the teacher *111 not give education to four for three fees, he shall have none.Would these parties admit such a practice in their' own trades or professions ?Would a banker lend Jour hundred pounds for the interest of threel Would a landlord let Jour houses for the rent of three! Would a baker sell Jour loaves for the price of three ?Again, a fourth class will advance many pleas to the same purpose ; such as\u2014\u201cThe boy joined the class a week after the quarter day ; now, there afb twelve weeks in a quarter, and the fee is six shillings ; therefore sixpence must be deducted !\u201d These people would be astonished, were they informed that the teacher, instead of granting a deduction, would be justified in charging double fee, as a trifling compensation for Jthe extra trouble caused|byhis urging the laggard pupil on to overtake the class.They will also plead, \u201cThe boy was unwell for three days and a half F In short, each economical father or managing mother believes that every shilling kept off the teacher is a shilling justifiably gained.Besides these attempts at reduction, which every independent teacher should resist, there are others to which the benevolent must yield.A widow struggling to give her child a good eaucation\u2014a professional brother having a family to bring up ou limited means \u2014a merchant, suddenly unfortunate, whose children may have been with the teacher for years\u2014all have claims upon his gratuitous services.Thus, if even those who are the most successful, and hold the most lucrative situatious,! realise far less than calculators suppose, how great must the privations be to men of very limited incomes, thus crueily diminished ! In one word, let parents economise every where, that they may be generous, or at least just, to the most laborious and worst remunerated of all professions.\u2014Chambers\u2019s Edinburgh Journal.L.Tardieu, the celebrated chemist, has made some interesting and important expérimenta with red stockings imported from England After extracting the colouring matter, he introduced a certain quantity of it beneath the skin of a dog, which died in twelve hours.A rabbit similarly treated expired in eight hours, and a frog in four.Opening the animals, M.Tardieu re-extracted the red colouring matter from their bodies and with it dyed a .skein of silk.In his report, communicated to the Academie des Sciences, M.Tardieu condemns the use of \u2018condine\u2019 (the mineral poison to which the fa-talstockings owe their brilliant but deceptive hue) aa an article of general commerce, and recommends that the importation of red Mocking» from England be absolutely prohibited.DIPPING CHARLES LAHB.\u201c Coleridge,\u201d says De Quincy, \u201c told me of a ludicrous embarrassment which Lamb\u2019s stammering caused him at Hastings.Lamb bad been medically advised to a course of seabathing ; and accordingly, at the door of his bathing machine, while he stood shivering with cold, two stout fellows laid hold of him, one at each shoulder, like heraldic supporters ; they waited tor the word of command from their principal, who began the following oration to them ; \u201c Hear me, men ; Take notice of this ; I am to be dipped-\u201d What more he would have said is unknown to laud or sea bathing machines ; for, haring reached the word dipped, be commenced snch a rolling fixe of di\u2014di\u2014di\u2014di, that when at length he descended a plomb upon the foil word dipped,, the two men rather tired of the long suspense, became satisfied that they had reached what lawyers call the \u201c operative \u201d clause of the sentence, and both exclaimed at once, \u201c 0, yes, we are quite aware of that,\u201d and down they plunged him into the sea.On emerging, Lamb sobbed so much from the cold that he found no voice suitable to his indignation ; from necessity he was tranquil ; and again addressing the men, who stood respectfully listening, he began thus \u2014\u201c Men, is it possible to obtain your attention.\u201d \u201c O, surely, sir, by all msans.\u201d \u201c Then listen ; Once more I tell you, I am to be dl\u2014di\u2014di \u201d and then with a burst of indignation, \u201cdipped I y°u.\u201d \u201cO, decidedly, sir.\u201d And down the stammerer went for a second time.Petrified with cold and wrath, once more Lamo made a feeble attempt to explain.Grant me pa\u2014pa\u2014tience ; is it mum\u2014um murder you me\u2014me\u2014 mean ?Again and a ga\u2014ga\u2014gain, I tell you, I\u2019m to be di\u2014di\u2014dl \u2014dipped\u2014\u201d now speaking furiously with the voice of an injured man.\u201c O, yes, sir,\" the men replied, 11 we know that\u2014we fully understand it,\u201d and, for the third time, down went Lamb into tho sea.\u201c O, limbs of Satan !\u201d he said, on coming up for the third time, \u201c it\u2019s now too late.I fell you that I am\u2014no, that I was to be di\u2014di\u2014 dipped only once.\u201d A FAMILY SCENE.I have a matter of feet to relate, which may properly have a place amoang your \u201cdisgusting statistics of intemperance.\u201d That it is a matter of fact, I am informed from a most credible sonree, nnd I am ashamed to say that it occnrred in my immediate neighborhood.A man who had scon better days, who was formerly numbered among your respectable farmers, respectable both in point of character and property, had pursued the course of temperate drinking to to the end of it ; and had the satisfaction of involving his wife in the same min.A few days ago he prepared some rum with cherries\u2014a very common way of adding to the palatability of ardent spirits.After his \"cherrtf' was well prepared, he and his wife placed themselves Jupon the floor, with the jug between them, and addressed themselves to it, till the they were both prostrate and dead drank.As if providence had intended to give, a striking illustrai on of the beastly nature of drunkenness, it happened at this time that a sow and a litter of pigs came in, and by process of rooting emptied the remaining contents of the jug upon the floor, and fell to eating the cherries, until this whole family of swine was also prostrate, and dead drunk on tho floor, with their owners.In this state the whole family, both beast and man, were fonnd by one of the neighbors who happened in at the time.It is no flourish of rhetoric then, that places the rum drinker on a level with the brutes.No.The swine here must partake of his master\u2019s jug before he is brought down to the level with his master.This scene, oh temperate drinker, is but one in a series the lirst of which is called moderate drinktng.And the temperate drinker stands related to him that gets hog-drunk, by an affinity of which he is little aware, and differs from him only in the length of the race he has run.And he is treading hard upon his heels.\u2014Journal of Humanity.\u2022 Falling w Lova.\u2014A writer in Once a Week says \u201c I have a friend at London-super-Mare, a dbar old lady, who keeps a school where young ladies are \u2018 finished.\u2019 The ages of these damsels range from fourteen to eighteen * sweet sixteen\u2019 being the average.Having a confidential chat with my friend during the calm quiet of her last Christmas holidays, I asked her if she was not often troubled by her pupils falling in love.She answered me nn-reservedly, \u2018 I have to contend against no greater difficulty.In a town like this, where we cannot walk in any direction withont meeting half-a-dozen boys\u2019 schools\u2014to say nothing of the hundreds of loiterers and flaneurs, who seem to think that a girls\u2019 boarding-school is lair game for their sport\u2014it seems altogether impossible to preventflircations from arising, and notes and love-tokens being clandestinely exchanged.I spare no pains, or arts to guard against and counteract thisTbut the thing exists, and will continue to exist, so long as girls are sixteen and foolish, and lads are bold and adventnrous.My only plan, when I see that the tender passion is developed, is to crush it in the bud.\u2019 \u2018 What do you do ?1 You will smile when I tell you ; for my receipt is the antithesis of romance.It is a dose of senna tea.\u2019 \u2018 Senna tea ?\u2019 \u2018 Yes, senna tea.Whenever I perceive\u2014as I very quickly do\u2014that one of my yonng ladies has fallen (as she fancies) into love, I at once take her in hand.I never hint at anything connected with the tender passion, but I treat her as an invalid who is suffering from impaired digestion.I keep her closely to the house and dose her liberally with senna tea, standing by to see that she drains the dose to the dregs.This plan is always attended with success.Sometimes she gives in after the few doses ; but usually it takes two or three days to complete the cure.I had one obstinate and protracted case that lasted a whole week ; but I was firm to my plan, aud in the end it succeeded.You may depend upon it, that, as a cure for a school-girl\u2019s calf love, there is nothing like senna tea.HEARTLESS CASE OF ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.For Sale or to Let, To Let, FROM tbe First of May next, tfcr large first-olass house, No.17, Prinot Edward Street, St.Rooh\u2019s, near to Dor-ohester

frequently to his friends.The necessity of exercising this camion has just besn proved in a case that has ceme under tbe notice of the Liverpool police.The case in question is one of elopement and robbery\u2014a species of delinquency which has been very trequent of late.The story does not possess a scintilla of romance, and is only remarkable (or the heartlessness and depravity which it brings to light.A respectable man named Taylor carries on the business of a grocer in Kpwortb, Lincolnshire.He was married for some year*, had several children, appeared to be in oemforta bio circumstances, and to live happily with his wife.In the name village was a blacksmith named Goorgo Lee.This person and tbe grocer were on the most intimate terms ; in fact, they were described as having been \u201c bosom friends since boyhood.\u201d Lee was a frequent visitor at Taylor\u2019s shop, and was well acquainted with the latter\u2019s wife.Some time agp the grueer was seised with a severe illness, and during the time he was laid up Lee was frequently at the house.It is said that during this time an improper intimaoy was formed between Lee and his friend\u2019s wife.The grocer recovered somewhat', and was able to attend to his business.Nothing had transpired to shake his faith in his wife\u2019s fidelity.Last Monday week the grooer and his wife retired to rest rather before their usaal hoar the woman intimating her intention to get up early the following morning to attend t> some household duties.The husband, being an invalid, did not rise so soon as his spouse, and when he came downstairs, he was surprised to find that his wife was absent.He examined the house, and found that a box, containing a large quantity of wearing apparel and about £30 iu cash, was missing.This led him to suspect that his wife had deserted him, and as she had left three children behind her the poor man was much distressed at the misfortune that had befallen him.He naturally weut to consult his \u201cfriend \u201d tho blacksmith as to the bast course to pursue in the painful situation in which he was placed.To his surprise he found that his friend \u2014who is a single man\u2014had also left home at an early hoar that morning.Tho deserted husband then suspected the worst, and enquiry showed that his suspicions were but too well founded.He learned that his \u201cearly friend\u201d had taken an undue advantage of his hospitality ; that he had betrayed his friendship, and that ha had eloped with his wife.The grocer instantly put himself in communication with the police, aod a warrant was obtained for the apprehension of the blacksmith, he and his companion having taken with them property belonging to the husband.It was discovertd that the runaways had gone to Liverpool, and a telegram was sent to Mr.Keho*, the chief of the detective department in this town, asking him te apprehend them.The case was put in the hands of Detective Marsh, and that cdicer searched the steamers that were sailing from this port for America.The description oontainei in the telegram of the fugitives was necessarily imperfect, and Marsh did not succeed then in finding them.Subsequently he was joined by Superintendent Henson, of the Lincolnshire police, and the deserted husband.It was then learned by Marsh that the guilty pair had sailed for New York, and that they had taken their passages in the name of George and Robeoca Lee.The telegraph was again had recourse to; the Irish police at Queenstown were informed of what had ooeurred, and were instructed, if the steamer called there, to board her and bring on shore Lee und bis companion.Tho steamer called at Qoeenstown in the usual course, the police visited her, and much to Lee\u2019s surprise, accosted him, told him that he and the partner of bis flight must, for a time at least, defer their trip across the Atlantia, and as there was a warrant out for his apprehension, ho must return to England to have his conduct investigated.Lee at once perceived thore was no help for it, and he and the woman very reluctantly quitted the steamer.In a shott time after the husbaeu and Superintendent Henson arrived in Queenstown, and the Irish police handed over to them their prisoners.Tbe runaways were brought to Liverpool, and were taken thence to Bpworth.What steps tho wronged husband will take in refer enoe to his false friend and the frail Rebtcoa remains to be seen.A Dangirocs Woman.\u2014At the recent Mil waukce Woman\u2019s Rights Convention Mrs.Livermore said to a dapper little fellow about four feet
