the story of embline hay. 
[Concluded from page 92, present number.] 
“Yes, too proud to sell myself!” she replied 
icily, folding the light summer shawl around her 
shoulders, and tying her hat ribbons. Before he 
could detain her, she had gone out oyer the 
door-sill, goue from his sight, was lost to him 
forever! 
He clenched his bauds in fierce pain. Nothing 
had ever thwarted his will before, and now the 
crown-hope of his life was dashed. He walked 
the village pavement, watching the figure far 
ahead, like a sailor looking to a beacon-light. 
The man’s will was strong, was iron, but bis 
love was stronger tlmn life itself. He could not 
give her up. Ills monopolizing selfishness had 
appropriated her to himself as soon aa he be¬ 
came aware of loving, never dreaming she would 
repulse him. Yet do not judge him harshly. 
He never incant to tempt her with his fortune. 
He did not understand the delicate texture of a 
woman’s nature, and thought the Bums strong 
thrills that stirred his heart-ehords were tele¬ 
graphed to hers by their natural attraction. 
Believing this, the man thought he had only to 
offer Emkhxe Ray his hand and home, never 
realizing the delicacy of that wooing that must 
win a woman. Yet he was thoroughly a man, 
strong, noble, lofty-minded, and only embittered 
by his loneliness in the world, and the hypocrisy 
he had met. 
Emeuxe entered her home, tossing her wrap¬ 
pings aside, and closing the parlor door after 
her. She stood in the middle of the room, with 
hands crossed on her bosom, and looked around 
on the traces of his lost presence. Here a 
sketch that he had finished, there a lovely paint¬ 
ing all his own work, and fresh sheets of music 
scattered over the open piano. A vase of yes¬ 
terday’s roses stood on the little table, and their 
sweet breath entered her nostrils, making her 
grow faint. She started forward to snatch and 
trample them, the latest gift of the man she had 
fouud so base, when a quick, impetuous step in 
the hall arrested her motion. She stood still 
never t urning her head. 
ne crossed the room like one approaching a 
long toiled-for goal, and clasping her in his 
arms, burst out passionately, “Emelixe, my 
queen, my darling, I love you I” Holding her as 
caressingly us a younger lover could have douc, 
and looking into her hungrily-searching eyes, lie 
read his hope. “I was abrupt, rude,” he went 
on pleadingly, “ but my life experience has not 
been blessed with woman-sweetness like that of 
most other men, and I have grown cynical, en¬ 
casing myself in an armor of haughtiness to 
keep the world aloof. I have seen so much 
cupidity, so much of all that Is repulsive in wo¬ 
men, that my faith in them was well nigh gone. 
So I do not train my speech to he smooth and 
winning, to charm a feminine ear. I have pre¬ 
ferred to be uncouth in manners, abrupt in ex¬ 
pression. rather than that most contemptible of 
things, a lady’s man. But my whole heart pleads 
to you. I have walked alone so long. I wanted 
to'niake you my queen, my own, to place you in 
a position I know you can grace, and crown 
you with the holiest name out of heaven— wife.' 
But my rudeness drove you from me. Em ki.ine 
do you hute me¬ 
llow noble, how exalted he was in humility. 
His eyes beaming on her with star-like radiance, 
their keen, cold glance all changed to loving lire. 
She reached her arms up to his shoulders, and 
put up her mouth to meet Ills with woman-like 
reconciliation and tenderness. Ememne Kay 
forgot then that she was not "perfect in figure, 
and graceful in every movement.” She forgot 
that her lingers were not slender and rosy- 
pointed, for ho held them just as tight, lookiug 
into her sapphire eyes, and asking in a musical, 
thrilling voice: 
“And can this little girl give her eighteen 
years of tresh young life to a man of thirty ? 
Can she love such a misanthropic old bachelor?” 
Women know how to answer such delicate 
appeals. " If he would take her,” she 6aid, with 
pretty, timid humility. 
They were both the better for their misunder¬ 
standing. It gave them a clearer insight into 
each other’s natures than anything else could 
have done, and united them at last all the more 
closely. So that sweet August night they sat 
together in the girl’s little parlor, and laid their 
plana for the future. He was going back to the 
city to prepare a homo for the reception of his 
bride. The little house should not be sold, but 
Emellne should retain it, and they proposed 
corning back to visit the place every summer. 
"Every May, when the woods are like they 
were, when we first mot,” he said, with smiling 
eyes, smoothing Emei ink's glowing checks. 
In one month she tvould go forth from under 
the roof-tree that had sheltered her through 
years of joy and sorrow, and joining hands with 
the man to w hom her heart owned itsallegiauce, 
take up a new, perfect life. 
Sitting alouo by her room window late that 
night, the betrothed girl looked out on the Au¬ 
gust skies lull of moonlight and fleecy vapor, 
and thought over her whole life. How wonder¬ 
fully had Goo led her, curbing the restless na¬ 
ture with privations, crushing the stubborn 
heart with sorrow, till she was meet to be fash¬ 
ioned after His will. He had taken away her 
earthly loves and idols till there was none to de¬ 
file His temple. Aud now, thus early m life, 
He placed the seal of perfect womanhood upon 
her forehead, and crow ned her with the blessed¬ 
ness of love. 
Leaning over the sill, she reached her hands 
through the still air toward that sweet August 
heaven, whispering in the fulness 0 f her joy, 
"Mother, brother, I am very happy ! o Goo I 
thauk thee for the lessons Thou hast given that 
have shaped my life to its perfection!”

ITS CHEMICAL composition, its congeners and 
CAUSES OF VARIETIES. 
The very receut discoveries of the immense 
reservoirs in the earth producing Petroleum, 
and its extensive introduction, both in this 
country and in Europe, and in fact in every 
country of the globe, and that it should so long 
have rested undisturbed and unused as an illu¬ 
minating material, Is the snhjeet of wonder. 
In the condition of Asphaltum and Rock Oil, 
it was known in the earliest periods of antiquity, 
being used for embalming the dead, for patching 
the 6eams of boats, and for various other uses. 
In the East Indies it has been used in its crude 
state for lights, from the remotest periods: but 
it was a spontaneous surface production, and 
was never bored for, distilled or refined. 
It is chemically known as a hydro-carbon; 
that is, simply coal and hydrogen, (one of the 
constituents of water,) as are all oleagenous 
substances—resins, turpentine, alcohol, &c.— 
often combined with peculiar essential oils, and 
some amounts of accidental and adventitious 
substances. 
It is a fair presumption to infer Its line of 
descent, from its most fluid condition to its 
most concrete, simply from losing its most 
volatile parts as follows : — Beginuing with 
naptha, beuzone or benzile, kerosene, petro¬ 
leum, asphftltum, down to cannel coal as the 
base. All the upper series can be produced in 
the greatest perfection trom cannel coal, and 
the first kerosene that was ever used as now 
made, was the result of the distillation of this 
substance. 
That the petroleum of the wells should pro¬ 
duce precisely the same articles—kerosene, tar, 
parafine, benzole, &c.—as the distillation of 
coal, is very good evidence of their close con¬ 
nection and relationship. 
Asphaltmn is an indurated, hard material, can 
he quarried like slate, melts readily over the 
fire, and is a rich bituminous substance, found 
in large quantities on the shores oflakcs, in the 
islands of Barbadocs and Triuadad, and is simply 
deselcated or dried down petroleum. 
This article will be followed by a brief state¬ 
ment of theories to account for the cause, and 
origin of coal and the hydro-carbons of the 
wells, now creating a Petroleumocracy in the 
country. L. b. l.

REMEDY FOR SMALL POX. 
Editors Rural New- Yorker: —At a time 
like this, when rumors of the ravages of the 
small pox reach ns from every direction, it may 
not be Ufindvisable to call the attention of the 
public to a remedy for that disease. 
During It* prevalence in Galt, Canada West, 
a few years ago, (perhaps two years,) It was 
discovered that, a decoction of the root of 
the Pitcher plant was a cure. I am ignorant 
of the circumstances which led to its use. The 
first case in which it was tried was that of a young 
man who htul been given up to die. In less 
than twenty-four hours from bis first taking 
the Pitcher plant, he showed symptoms of recov¬ 
ery, and it was not long till the disease left him 
aud he recovered. In every case where it was 
tried, it proved an entire success. Taken in 
the earlier stages of the disease, it rendered it 
almost as light as the chicken pox; while, when 
taken freely by those who waited upon the sick, 
or were in other ways exposed, it acted as a pre¬ 
ventive. My informant said he did not know of 
a single case where it had been used with any but 
the best results. Usually, within a few hours 
after it was taken, the fever would begin to abate. 
Since its virtue has been known, it is kept iu 
tbe drug stores in that town. It grows in the 
marshes about Galt, aud in Halton county, Can¬ 
ada West, in Washington county. Pa., and in 
Genesee county, N. Y. I am a little at a loss 
as to the scientific name. Webster (page 141, 
Illustrated Dictionary,) describes the Pitcher 
plant under the name of NtpentAis distillatoria, 
and says it inhabits the wanner and damper 
parts of Asia. I am inclined to think that the 
plant iu question is the purpurea , 
often called Side-saddle plant, and Adam’s cup. 
Some time last summer, I saw, in a Philadelphia 
paper, a notice of some physician having used 
the root of that plant, in eases of small pox, 
with great success. 1 think he was in some of 
tile Eastern States. 
Mrs. Lincoln, in her Botany, says that this is 
"an herbaceous plant peculiar to marshes of 
North America.” Family undetermined. Lind- 
i.ey establishes a family Sormcenia, in which 
this is the only genus. He also thiuks it nearly 
related to the IMwmnr.r, or to whatever family 
the Dioiura maybe placed In, It is related to the 
family Nepenttetr. I regret that 1 cannot furnish 
you with either a specimen or a drawing of this 
plant. It belongs to Class All, Order 1. It is 
a pereunial. The leaves, shaped like a cup, 
grow directly from tbe ground. The. stem is a 
"scape,” growing to the height of one or two 
feet, and bearing one largo purple flower. It 
blooms in June. The calyx Js three or live 
leaved, and the corolla five petaled. 
1 am uot sufficiently acquainted with its prop¬ 
erties to give any reason for its efficacy, but I 
hope the attention of set entitle persons may be 
called to it. In every case where it was used 
in Galt, it entirely prevented "pitting.” These 
facts were related to me by a person of un¬ 
doubted veracity. M. A. Strang.

DO ANIMALS REASON T 
Do animals reason? I have no doubt that 
they do. They have memory certain. They 
can be instructed np to a certain point. What 
is called the "cunning of the fox” is nothing 
but his quick sagacity. A multitude of stories 
- even enough to make quite a volume—could 
be gathered illustrating the sagacity of the ele¬ 
phant, the horse, the dog, and other animals. 
Even the stupid " ass knoweth its master's crib.” 
A fox has been known—so I have been told—to 
carry off a small pig. In course of his way 
back to the woods he had to crosp a deep creek, 
setting up from the sea. He could jump over if 
himself. But could he jump over it with the 
pig in his mouth ? That w as the problem to be 
solved. He went off a little way aud came back 
with a knot, a piece of broken limb in bis mouth. 
It was jnst about as heavy as his pig-. “ Now,” 
says he, “if I can jump across the creek with 
this knot in mvrnouth, I also can with the pig.” 
In a moment he gave the leap aud over he went. 
He then laid down his knot, jumped back again, 
seized his pig, and stood a moment as if weigh¬ 
ing and comparing the two. He hesitated but 
a moment, when presto! he was over,—pig and 
all. Was this not reasoning and logic ? Could 
a philosopher or a divine have drawn a more 
acute inference ? 
A dog had been accused of killing sheep. He 
and his master were very fond of each other. It 
was a long time ere the owner could be made to 
believe the 111 report about his favorite. At last 
he was convinced that poor Rover was guilty. 
As he could not bear to kill him himself, he came 
into the room one morning and said, "Peter, 
you may take the dog after breakfast and shoot 
him. Mind and kill him dead.” The dog was 
in the room and heard It. Iu an instant he 
darted out of the room and was off in a straight 
line. No calling or shouting could cause him to 
turn his head. Straight as an arrow he shot 
across the lots and went out of sight. Everv 
hour they expected him back. At night he 
would certainly come. But no, he never re¬ 
turned ! Many months after this his master was 
riding in a wild, lonely place. Just as he came 
between the two banks through which the road 
had been cut, he saw poor Rover standing on one 
of the banks. His heart yearned towards his 
Old friend, and he spoke to him very kindly. 
But Rover’s heart was hardened. He gave one 
growl, snapped his teeth at his old master, and 
again scampered off at the top of his speed. 
His master never saw him again ! Unforgiving 
Rover! Thy memory was good, and thy will 
was strong, and thiue anger lasting. 
One more example. A neighbor of mine had 
a very knowing cat. Of course Tab was a very 
great favorite with all the family. At a time 
when Tab had a familj • k. as, , autiful kit- 
teus, too, and when aim us . : was too 
much for her to take hern, oru* f them 
•was given away to a n a'mor. i tti- kit was 
carried off iu a bask: n <1 warmly welcomed. 
In a day or two, t oX in i!. „ ued. in 
walked Mrs. Tab, vho 5 Uten and 
made off with it—so* ' _ i.i ,i t find her 
child. In about three weeks she came back 
again, tugging her kitten, and laying it down 
at the feet of the mistress of the house, seemed 
to say:—"Madame, this kit was too young 
when you took it before. It needed tny care. 
But now it has grown up and can get along 
very well. You may now have it.” With that, 
Mrs. Tab walked off, leaving Uer kitten and never 
returning for it .—Rev. Dr. Todd. 
Sneezing. — Almost throughout Africa there 
is some superstition connected with this convul¬ 
sion. Iu Senaar, eourtiers turn the hack aud 
slap the right thigh. Old authors tell us that 
when the “King of Monoinotapa” sneezed, it 
became a national concern. Those nearest the 
royal person howled a salutation, which was 
taken up by the ante-chamber; and when the 
horrid cry ran through the palace, it was re¬ 
echoed by the whole city. In Europe the 
superstition is, that St. Gregory instituted a 
benediction upon the sneezer because during a 
certain pestilence the unseemly act was a fatal 
symptom.—A Mission to delete.

THE NEW SETTLEMENT OF MANAMUSXIN, 
IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, N. J. 
Withtn the last four years, three railroads, 
the " West Jersey,” the “Millville and Glass- 
boro,” and the “ Cape May and Millville” Road.-, 
have been laid in South New Jersey. By the 
construction of these railroads a large extent of 
territory, extremely favorable for agricultural 
purposes, has been opened to settlers who lmv<5 
been pouring in with almost unprecedented 
rapidity. A great impetus has been given to the 
growth of the towns along the lines of these 
roads, and new villages have sprung up, among 
which is the settlement of Manamuskin to which 
we now desire to invite the attention of tbe 
public. 
Adjacent, to the line of the Cape May and Mill¬ 
ville Railroad is a tract of land, containing 
twenty thousand acres, lying in a solid body, 
which it is proposed to. settle in a systematic 
and organized manner. The village, which is the 
centra of operations in the enterprise, is located 
two miles and a half from the railroad, upon the 
Manamuskin Creek, or River, at a point where 
two dams have beeu thrown across the stream, 
affording heavy water powers. On either side of 
the stream, parallel, and also at right angles, 
with it, run the wide village aveuues. Having 
thus, briefly, attempted to give a general Idea of 
the nature of the contemplated enterprise, we 
shall now proceed to consider, somewhat more 
in detail, the advantages connected with it. 
1st The Locality of Manamuskin is one of ex¬ 
traordinary convenience. Lying forty miles 
south of Philadelphia, and about the same dis¬ 
tance north of Cape Island, well known as one of 
the most delightful watering places in the United 
States, it is within two hours ride, by railroad, 
of either point. A person leaving Manamuskin 
in the morning, may pas3 seven or eight hours 
in Philadelphia, or, in the summer time, at the 
Sea side, and return home late in the afternoon 
of the same day. But, so far as its locality is 
concerned, the most striking advantage afforded 
by Manamuskin is its nearness to Philadelphia 
and New York Markets. Within a few hours 
the perishable productions of our soil, which are 
also the most profitable, such as berries, toma¬ 
toes, aud fruits in general, can be removed from 
the vines and trees and deposited fresh and 
sound in the markets of those cities. This 
proximity to New York and Philadelphia, iu 
connection with the peculiar adaptation of its 
soil to the growing of fruits and vegetables, 
renders Manamuskin an exceedingly desirable 
locality for the fruit grower and gardener. Trans¬ 
portation for tho productions of the soil may be 
bad either by railroad, as jnst mentioned, or by 
water. Three miles from the settlement are two 
schooner landings belonging to tbe tract, and 
five miles distant, upon Maurice River, is a port 
up to which vessels of four-hundred tons bur¬ 
den ascend. Five miles distant in another 
direction, at the head of the same Maurice River, 
and connected with Manamuskin by ra iroad is 
Millville, a town of remarkable thrift and enter¬ 
prise containing about five thousand inhabitants, 
where arc located some of the largest factories of 
Iron, Cotton and Glass that can be found iu the 
State. Tliis town of Millville Itself furnishes a 
a largo and convenient market for farm aud gar¬ 
den produce at city prices. Besides Millville, 
other villages and towns, containing from five 
hundred to six thousand inhabitants, arc thickly 
scattered throughout Cumberland county. In 
addition to the marketing facilities already 
alluded to, dealers in grain and produce visit us 
at our doors. 
2d. The Soil of the Manamuskin Tract, for the 
most part, consists of clay and sandy loams. 
From our neighborhood the earliest fruits aud 
vegetables go to our great city markets, com¬ 
manding both on this account and by reason of 
their peculiarly fine quality, the highest prices. 
No finer corn can be raised anywhere than here. 
Sweet potatoes last year produced from two to 
four liuudred bushels to the acre, and sold at 
prices ranging from one dollar to two dollars 
per bushel according to the date of the sales. 
During the summer just passed, peach orchards 
upou the tract were loaded with fruit of a size, 
beauty and flavor never surpassed. The soil is 
likewise admirably adapted to the culture of 
strawberies, blackberries, melons, grapes and 
pears. Hops, sugar cane and tobacco, also 
thrive. Either the trucker or the large tanner 
will find soil upon the tract suited to his de¬ 
mands. 
3d. The Climate of the whole region of coun¬ 
try surrounding Manamuskin is peculiarly de¬ 
lightful. Having the same latitude as Baltimore 
and the District of Columbia, and lying upon 
the line which divides the Northern and South¬ 
ern sections of our country, it is free both from 
the extreme cold and extreme heat of those 
regions. The climate is further tempered by 
tbe Atlantic Ocean upou the east and the Dela¬ 
ware Bay upon the south west, so that very hot 
or very cold weather is seldom known for a 
longer space of time than a single week iu each 
summer and winter. The destructive floods 
and tempests which prevail in many localities 
are here unknown, and the out door work of 
the farmer can be carried on, almost without 
interruption, all the year round. For these and 
other local causes, those who have come into 
this section of country from distant parts, 
express themselves as enjoying unusual health, 
while many affirm that they have recovered from 
various troublesome and even lutut diseases of 
the North. Indeed, inflammatory and bilious 
diseases, which prevail so largely at the north 
aud west, are here almost entirely unknown. 
Upon the Manamuskin tract there are no 
swamps or bogs of stagnant water to produce 
malaria and endemic disease. 
4tb, The running streamsof the Manamuskin 
Tract constitute one of its most attractive fea¬ 
tures. The largest of these, the Manamuskin, 
which flows directly through tbe centre of the 
tract, having been, as already stated, dammed at 
tbe point where the village is located, spreads 
out into two beautiful sheets of water, one 
above the other, which afford heavy water pow¬ 
ers capable of propelling the most powerful 
machinery. Into the Manamuskin, and water¬ 
ing the various portions of the tract, flow 
several rapid, clear and living streams, whose 
water is remarkably clear, sweet and whole¬ 
some, rolling over bottoms oi bright pebble. 
Upon the banks of two of these, large cedar 
timber of one hundred years growth, covering 
in all, perhaps, one hundred and fifty acres of 
laud, is found, all of which is reserved as build¬ 
ing material for tbe use of settlers. In addition 
to the cedar, a large amount of heavy timber of 
other varieties is standing upon the tract. As a 
first class saw mill, with machinery for planing, 
and matching, will soon be running at one of 
the water powers, bills of lumber cau be sawed 
to order upon short notice. Upon the lower 
Jam a grist mill has already been erected. 
Building stone, and day, of the’ finest, quality for 
making Queens ware, and from which the best 
brick has been manufactured, are also to be 
found upou tbe tract In great abundance. 
The Manamuskin Tract, the largest, it is be¬ 
lieved, lying In a solid body in South New Jer¬ 
sey, with the advantages herein before briefly 
described, is now opened to the inspection of the 
public. Either the mechanic or the farmer may 
settle here both pleasantly and profitably. A 
neat and tastful church building belonging to 
the Methodist denomination, as well as a school 
house, has already been erected upon the village 
site. We have also a post office and daily mail. 
Deeds, warranting the lands bought free from all 
incumbrance, will be given to purchasers; and 
in order effectually to Insure to the community 
of Manamuskin, throughout all time, the bless¬ 
ings that attend upon temperance, a condition 
is Inserted iu the deeds that no intoxicating 
drinks shall ever be sold upon any portion 
of the premises conveyed by them. Upou a 
breach of this condition the premises revert to 
the grantors and to their heire, and by this 
means it. is believed that one village, at least, in 
New Jersey may be forever secured against the 
curse of a grog shop. Terms, 120 to $25 per 
acre, one fourth down, balance in four years. 
Persons wishing to visit the settlement, should 
buy their tickets for Manamuskin Station, either 
in Camden, or at the Cape May and Millville 
Rail Road Depot at the foot of Walnut Street, 
Philadelphia. 
Please send us a list of names, with the Post 
Office address, of such persons as you think 
would probably be interested in our enterprise, 
and we will send them Circulars. For further in¬
