It is believed that, in Massachusetts alone, at least one thousand additional head of cattle will have to be sacrificed in a similar manner, and that it will require an appropriation of at least one hundred thousand dollars to meet the charges of the Commission. In view of the urgency of matters, an extra session of the Massachusetts Legislature has been called by Qovernor 13anks which has now under consideration the best mode of exterminating the disease. On the western line from Broolcfield to Ware the energetic measures adopted by tho Commissioners have proven very successful, but in other directions the disease is stoudily extending itself. Of the sixty cattle owned by Mr. Chcnery; thirty had died or had been summarily slaughtered, and it was thought advisable that the remaining thirty should be killed. To kill all the cattle within certain limits, or to isolate t!;em entirely from contact with all others,-appear to be the ouly available remedies proposed. Under more favorable conditions Dr. Loring, one of the Commissioners, was convinced that twenty percent, of all tho cases would prove fatal, and that under existing conditions, not more than ten cattle in every hundred head could be saved. Unfortunately, the disease is no longer confined to Massachusetts. In New Hampshire five cattle have already died of it, and as hundreds have already died of it, and as hundreds of others havebccn exposed to the contagion, the excitement among tho farmers of that region is very great. In New Jersey also it has broken out, on a farm near Newark, and on another near Chatham, eight miles from Morristown. But in both of tho latter instances, although some twenty or twenty-five head of cattle have died, the symptoms, as described, are rather such as are common to cases of acute pneumonia, and therefore, differ very materially from that typhoid form of the disease which has proven so fatal in Massachusetts. cattle, and the introduction of a disease which the efforts of wealthy graziers and agriculturalists, backed by the whole power of the Government have never yet succeeded in entirely expelling from the Is* land. The experience of those who have suffered from thiB cause should be a warning and a lesson to those to whota so terrible a malady is at present unknown. even now to assert that any house properly ventilated will bring as much more for it «s to cover twice the cost of such ventilation. The people are taking the advance, and the popular mind is getting so moved on this subject that the time is not distant when houses with the best means of ventilation will have substantial preference either in leasing or selling.

They are awkward, olowniah, tough. They feel timid, bashful, and selfrdistrMfc ful, the moment they are addreMed byu stranger, or appear in company.

Good mannet* are not learned so much as acquired by habit. They grow upon us by use. Wo must be courteous, agreeable, civil, kind getlemanly, and manly at home and then it will become a kind of second nature everywhere.

Delta, Leeds Co., Canada West. We advise all young people to aoquir« in early life the habit of using good language, both in speaking and writing, and to abandon asi early as possible any use of slang words, and phrazes. The longer they live the more difficult the acquisition of good language will be; and if the golden age of youth, the proper season for the acquisition of language be passed in its abuse, the unfortunate viotim of negleeted education is very jtrobably doomed to talk slang for life. Money is not necessary to procure education. Every man has it in his power. Ho has merely to use the language which he reads instead of the slang which he hears; to form his taate from the best speakers and poets of the country; to treasure up choice phrases in his memory and habituate himself to their use, avoiding at the same time that pedantic precision and bombast which show rather the weakness of a vain ambition than the polish of an educated mind.

There are few occurrences which are more calculated to excite grave alarm among the agriculturists and stock-breeders of the United States than the introduction into this country of an epidemical disease by which a million of cattle arc reported to die annually in Europe. In the fat pastures of Holland and the lush-green meadows of England and Ireland, Pleura-pneumonia. or the "lung epidemic"—asit is there commonly called—has of late years prevailed to a fearful extent, and has almost invariably proved fatal. This terrible disease was first brought into public notice in England a little uiore than a century ago, and so rapid was its progress that in two counties alone, over seventy thousand head of cattle died within the course of six months. The prompt measures whioh were taken by the Government to prevent the spread of the disease, by ordering the innnede Jia:e slaughter of all the cattle that were supposed to be infected or compromised, quelled tyfor a season, but did not entirely eradicate it. From that period until the present it has made its appearance at intervals of a few years, sometimes in a mild, but morn frequently in its most malignant form.— Formerly, experienced verterinary surgeons doubted whether it was contagious. This doubt has long since been dispelled, and it is now conceded not only that it is contagious, but that no remedial agent has been discovered which is of any service whatever in the case. In Holland this terrible distemper has for many years been more frequent than in England. The cattle epidemic, which, in 1847 swept off ninety-five out of every hundred head of ttock which were pastured in the valley of the ThnmC s and thi rty-fivc per cent, of the herds in the counties to which its ravages were restricted, was traced to importations from Holland. It broke out with such virulence in the latter country in 1859, that in forty-three villages alone, the number of cattle that died, or were killed in consequence, amounted to fourteen thousand. In this country the disease for whose suppression legislative action is invoked in the Eastern States, was totally unknown, except by name, until the month of May, 1859, when Mr. Chenery, of Belmont, North Brookfield, Massachusetts, imported four cows from Holland of a breed that had become celebrated for its milking qualities. On the voyage out these fell sick, and two of them on their 4irival at Boston were so feeble as to oblige the owner to procure a conveyance for the purpose of taking them from the wharf to Belmont.— Before the close of the month one of the eows died. Three days afterwards a second one died. Four weeks later a third died, leaving but one remaining, which is still alive. In the meantime, however, other cattle belonging to the fine herd owned by Mr Chenery, had taken the disease. It was not at first supposed to be contagious, and therefore the farmers and dairymen of the vic:nity experienced no very serious uneasiness until the distemper began to extend beyond the limits of the Belmont estate, and to affect large numbers of cattle in North Brookfield. Then it was that the nature of the dieeaso became more clearly apparent, and every means which could be devised to meet the emergency was promptly sought. Veterinary surgeons were at onee sent for. Those herds in which the epidemic had shown itself were at once secluded from eontaot with all others. Cattle known to be infected were killed without delay. Legislative assistance was asked, which was immediately granted, to the amount of ten thousand dollars. Twenty thousand dollars more wctb added by private subscription. Commissioners were appointed, who were charged with the duty of investigating the nature of the disease, »ho were clothed, at the same time, with full power to take whatever steps might teem necessary for the purpose of patting an effectual cheek upon its ravages. Under their direotions eight hundred and forty-two_cattle have been killed, and the amount already expended to remunerate tbe owners for the low they have sustained,1 Dr. F.

For the information of those who feel an interest in a subject which is engros-ing much attention at the Eastward, it may be proper to state what pleuro-pneumonia really is. Divested of all technical phraseology, it may be described as an inflamation of the membrane which envelopes the lungs and lines the cavity of the chest. On the walls of each cavity of the chest, the pleura cost ilia—as it is there called—is formed by h sheet of fine and clastic cellular tissue, loosely attached to the ribs, the intercostal muscle, and to other subjacent parts. On the exterior of tiie lung the plcuro-pulmonaris is composed of a thin superficial layer of fine cellular tissue, and a deeper layer of coarser fibrous tissue, which being very elastic, affords important assistance in the act of respiration. Between the two surfaces of tlio pleura which arc contiguous with each other—is a space that is culled the sac of . the pleura into which a small quantity of serous fluid is constantly secreted, that moistens the opposite surfaces of the lung and tho wail of the chest, and permits their free motion upon each other. The difficulty of detecting pleuro-pneumonia in its earlier stages is one of tho reasons why remedies which might prove serviceable have not been of any avail. At the first the animal droops a little and is feverish. but as it frequently regains temporarily its liveliness and its appetite, and shows outwardly all those signs which farmers ure accustomed to regard as- indicating recovery, suspicion as to tho true nature of the disease is in many instanoes completely lulled. After the lapse, however, of a short period a cough sets in; the appetite fails the breathing becomes painfully oppressed ; the eyes grow bright and watery; the mouth dry, and the breath h; t and fetid. Of eourse, the disease in this form is inevitably fatal. A poet mortem examination of cattle thus affected, disoloses the fact that the lungs have become "one mass of frothy, cheesy corruption." It is this, the worst and ftiost dangerous typo of the disease, that now enlists the attention of the Legislature of Massachusetts, assembled in extra session. Governor Banks very properly suggests that, in addition to authorizing the adoption of snch prompt measures as shall get rid of every vestige of the disease within the limits of the Stuto, a due regard for the safety of other States demands that all exports of cattle from Massachusetts, shall be for the present, prohibited. So fur, the advioe is good; but, indepently of any action which may be taken by Massachusetts, it is incumbent upon every State, which has heretofore been accustomed to draw supplies of cattle from Massachusetts, to peremptorily forbid any further import of tbeua until such time as all fear of the disease is at an end. Wo believe it has been determined by some of the Eastern States that no cattle-shows shall be held during the prevalence of the disease in that section of the Uniou; but if such shonld take place, it will become the impeartive duty of our stock breeders and owners of fine herds, who have been accustomed to forward choice specimens of improved breeds of cattle to distant points on exhibition, to peremptorily refuse to move theai beyond the limits of the State. It would be well, indeed, if some sort of quarantine regulations were established among the border States; and although we are comparatively remote from the present seat of the disease, yot if it should prove true that cattle in New Jersey have takeu the contagion, it can scarcely fail to spread into the adjacent State of Pennsylvania and when once there tbe health of oar own herds might speedily be compromised. No judioious precautions which may be taken at this time can, therefore, be called wholly vain or useless, for a very slight cause may give rise to a serious disaster.

When a man lores a woman, before he tries to win her, he will have, if he Iovee her unselfishly and generously, many a doubt concerning bath her and himself.— In fact as I once read somewhere, "When a man truly loves a woman, he would not inirry her upon any account unless he was quite certain he was the best person aha could possibly mariy." But as soon as she loves him, and he knows it, and is certain that, however unworthy he may be, or however many faults she may possess—I never told you you were an angel, did I, little lady?—they have cast their lot together, chosen one another "For better, for wone" then the face of things is entirely changed.

" Nearly thirty years ago, ft widow ladv, of a noble and powerful Huguenot family residing in the south of France, placed her child with a gardener's wife, who was to uct as its filter-mother and nurse. One day, as the young heir was sporting beforo the door, and the gardener's child was lying on a bed in the cottage, the nnrj* heard the wheels of a carriage, and immediately suspected that the mother of her young chargc was coming to sec her son.— 1b her flurry, she snatched up the heir, but slipping, let him full upon a heap of stones, breaking his right arm and collarbone. In her terror, she rushed to her husband, who advised her to stow away the screaming victim Under the bed-clothos, and taking bis garments, he placed tbemon his own child, and boldly stood at the door to wait the Iiifly's coming. Contrary to the usual .casual glance given by her on her previous visits, the lady*moth«r was so struck at the change iu hor darling, to the loan, brown, hungry-looking babe which she beheld in the place of her otfn plump baby, that, vexed and exasperated beyond measure, she seized the ohild in her arms, and bade the postillion drive away. The gardener and his wife were terribly frightened, but decided to go the next day to the chateau and make an explanation. To their further consternation, they found on the next morning that the lady was gone, and had taken away the child. Years sped on, and the family did not return, while the ignorant cottagers, influenced by terror, never dared to stir in the matter, until the gardener's wife, on her death-bed, recently made a full confession. In the mean time, the cottager's child baa passed his life as u member of one of the noblest families of France, has been attached to an embassy, and now holds a desirable official position, while the real heir has spent his youth in discipline and privation as a soldier in Algeria.

There can be no greater blessing than to be born in the light and air of a cheerful, loving home. It not only ensures a happy childhood—if there be health and a good constitution—bub it almost makes ran a virtuous and happy manhood, and a fresh young heart in old age. I think it every parent's duty to try to make their children's childhood full of love and of childhood's proper joyousness; and I never see children destitue of them, through the poverty, faulty tempers, or wroog notions of their parents, without a heartache. Not that all the appliances whloh wealth ean boy and necessary to the free and happy unfolding of childhood in body, mind, or heart— quite otherwise, God be thanked; but children must at least have love inside the house, and fresh air and good play and some good companionship outside; other* wise young life runs the greatest danger in the world of Withering or growing stunted, pr sour and wrong, or, at best, prematurely old and turned inward on itself.
