"I tell It a 'twas told to me."l A very loog lime ago, in the western part of England, there lived an aged couple, whose time bad passed away imee early youth, in the every day round of farm lile, and who had never been known to have the least ill-feelings towards each other since the time when good old Parson He riot had united them in the holy bond of wedlock, twenty-five years before. bo well was the fact of their conjugal happiness known, that they were spoken of far and near as the happiest pair known. Now, the Devil (excuse the abrupt mention of hia name,) had been trying for twenty rears to create what is so commonly called " a fuss in the family," between these old com pan ions. But much to his mortification, he hrtd not been able to induce the old gentleman to grumble about breakfast being late once, or the old lady to give a single curtain leo tur. After repeated effort tbe Devil be came discouraged, and had he not been a person of great determination he would doubtless have given op in despair. ' One day as he walked along, in a very surly mood, after another attempt to get the old lady to quarrel about the pigs getting, into tbe yard, he met an old woman, a near neighbor of the aged couple. As Mr. Devil and the neighbor were very . particular friends, they must need stop on the way to chat a little. ."Good morning sir,' said she, "and pra' what on earth makes you look so badly, this beautiful morning; isn't the controversy be tween the churches doing good service T" "Yes." "Isn't Deacon W. making plenty or bad whisky V , "Ves." I "Well, what is the matter, my highly honored master."' " Kverythingelse is going on well enough," replied the Devil, " but," and here he looked as sour as a monkev on a crab-apple tree, "old Blueford and his wife, over here, are injuring the cause terribly by their bad ex ample, and after trying for years to induce (hew to do belter, I must say I consider them hopeless. Z took ber husband's razor and crept softly to his side. INow the old lady was very mucn frightenex) at holding razor so close to her husband's neck, and her hand was not so steady aa it onco was; so, between the two, she went to work very awkwardly and Suited the hairs instead of cutting them off. Ir. B. opened his eyes, and there stood bii wife with a razor at his throat t After what bad been told him, and seeing this, he could not doubt that she intended to murder him. He sprang from tbe bed in horror, and no explanation or entreaty could con vince him to the contrary. So, from that time forth, there was no more peace tor that house. 'It was jaw, jaw, quarrel and wrang ling all the time. with delight the Devil heard of the suc cess of tbe faithful emissary, and sent her word that if she would meet him at the end of the lawn, at a certain time, he would pay ber the shoes. . c At tha annointed time she repaired to tte spot and found the Devil at the place. He put the shoes on the end of a long pole, and, standing on the opposite side of the fence, handed them over to her. She was very much pleased with them, they were exactly the article. " But there is one thing, Mr. Devil, that I would like to have explained: that is, why you hand them to me on that stick I " Very easy to explain, replied he, 'any one who has the cunning and meanness to de as you have done, don't get neater than twenty feet of me I" So saying he fled in terror. After a while the old woman died, and when she applied for admittance to the lower recriona the Devil would not let her in, for fear she might dethrone him, as she was so much his superior. So the old wo man is yet compelled to wander over the world, creating quarrels and strife in peace ful families and neighborhoods. Would you know her namaY It is Madame Scandal. When she died, C'Causi or ti Pouts 8sa. Tr wXiaV ienee of a space of opew vrater around the aorta pole hat long been aaspacted by Are las navigators. Ross, Parry, DeHaven, and others, while densely rarroaoded by ice, foliced that birds were flying northward tontinually, as if towards a zone of milder tamperatura, and that the clouds, which bung over the far distant horizon in that di rection, betokened the presence of a large body of water. De Haven and olhers even penetrated far enough ap Lancaster Soand ta think they descried 'this open ocean. . It was reserved, however, for Dr. Kane in the expedition which ha personally conducted, to remove all doubts regarding this Polar be a. its existence is a longer a dream. Jt hi ceased to belong to tha mere specula tions of geographers. No one can call it a fufcle any more. In troth, science now that the fact itself is proved steps in and accounts for it so conclusively that the won der is how any intelligent mind would have made the subject a matter ol question. For tho laws of nature render a Polar sea as necessary to the economy of lha globe as they do the Gulf stream, the trade winds, mountain ranges, rain, sunshine, day or Every school boy knows what is meant by ths precession of the equinoxes. If there was no such apparent movement ol the sun, no such real movement of the earth, the sun would shine all the year' round vertically on the equator, and the two poles have their day tnd night of twelve hours' duration like the temperate and torrid regions. But the oscilation of tbe globe its dip, so to speak, to tie plane of tbe ecliptic inclines the north pole for six months towards the sun, and the south pole towards it for the other six. The result is that, during the north ern summer, when it is day on the Green land side of the pole, it is day also clear up to tbe north pole and for twenty three de grees and a half on the other side. Thus, during the Arctic summer, there is a space ' Taa BiRTa-FLACS or Aanatw Jack-sow. Daring tha last autumn tome discussion arose among tha representatives of the press In Sooth Carolina, Virginia and North Carolina in relation to the birth-place of An drew Jackson. It seems to be generally admitted that in the contest tha pretensions of Virginia to tba honor in question were pretty effectually exploded, while those of South Carolina though long traditionally admitted, were brought into grave suspicion, if not effectually displaced, by a new claim ant in the person of North Carolina. Gen. S. II. Walkup, aa intelligent citizen of the old North State, seems to have been most active in ascertaining aod vindicating the olaimi of Mecklenburg county to the hon or of having given birth to the .

Hence also the fact that the actual pole does not agree with the pole of great est cold.

Are oa certain?" "Yes." Well," replied she," if you will promise to make me a present of a new pair of shoes, in case I succeed, I will make the attempt myself, and see if I can't raise a quarrel between them." To this reasonable request tha Devil gladly assented. The old hag went her way to neighbor Blueford's house, and found old Mrs. Blueford very busily engaged in getting things ready for her husband's com fort on. his return from work. After the usual compliments had passed, the follow ing dialogue took place: ..sir li r i if 1 ar T I wen, inena D., you anu mr. u. tutvo lived a long lime together. , " Five and twenty years, come next No vember," replied Mrs. B. - And in all this time you have nerer bad tne least quarrel.

Mr. Duny had a store ot anecdote, se rious and humorous, connected with his dra matic campaigns at Vera Cruz, Tampico, t ort Jesup, etc. une ol tnem we remem ber as excessively amusing, perhaps from the gout with which he told it. It ran thus ! A lady of the company was married, but loved her lord not. over well. In fact, aha looked on Mr. Z. with an eye of affec tion, and, aa she was beautiful and fascina ting, he reciprocated. Manager DufTy thought it best for Z.'s health to send him on business for a few weeks to tho next town. Z. went with no very good grace.' A day or two after, a boy came upon the stage at rehearsal, and handed Duffy a note, tvho nut dancinir at the address, and pre suming it lo be wr him, opened it. To his surprise it was lrom tne laay to , repieie with protestations of aflection, informing him that she was not in the bill for that night, and asking him to be beneath her lat tice at nine in theevenin2,and manifest his presence by singing one verse of the Star Spangled Banner. Mr. Duffy immediately sent tbe note to &. at tne next town, ana calling his company together informed them that there would, be no performance that niKht, but all must report themselvfes to aid- him in a certain scheme. Long before 9 o'clock, the company were hidden in vari ous spots near the lady's house, and a reg imental band was stationed behind a thick clamp of trees. Presently, Z. approached.

It has also been conjectured that the Gulf stream, that mystery even yet to men of science, plays an immportant part in this matter, though whether as a cause or an effect remains to be determined. It is known that this current reaches to the shores of Spits bergen, and it has even been traced further north, as if whirling about the pole. The supposition is, therefore, that it circles around the Polar sea, re-entering lower lati tudes near Behring's Straits, and thence passing eastward along the northern shores of America. If the Gulf stream really cir cumnavigates the pole in this way, we have hit on the solution of the origin of that strange current, which set McClure east ward from Behring's Straits, and which bore De Haven, powerless, southward through Davis's Straits and.farinto the At lantic." " The subject is one to be decided by a careful array and analysis of facts. It richly deserves the notice of men of science. New York Sun. The Difference Robert Morris, the colored lawyer of Boston, bargained for a residence in Carysville, but the select white inhabitants of that locality remonstrated wiih the owner of the property, and pre vented him from making: the sale.
