Montesqatea, on the other hand, held th&t health purchased by rigorously watching over diet, was hut a tedious disease. But Walpole was nearly correct, while Montea- qnieu was .not very distant from tbe truth. Dieting, like other things, mnst be under¬ taken on common-sense principles; for, though there be multitudes of mad people "in the world, society generally is not to be pat apon the regime of "Bedlam."
We live, not by what we eat, but by what we digest; and what one man may digest, another woold die of attempting. Rules on this aubject are almost useless. Each man may soon learn the powera of his stomach, in health or disease, in this respeot; and thia ascertained, he has no more business to briDg on indigestion than he haa to get intox¬ icated or fall into debt. He who offends on these tbree points, deserves to forfeit stomach, btiad, and bis electoral franchise !

CHOICE OF A BirSTNESS.
Slant and buay competition. It ia, therefore, a subject of important consideration, in what direction tbe energies of youth may be turned to the best profit and advantage. The diffi¬ culties attending this inquiry are universally felt, and tlie choice of a buainess or profes¬ sion ia at thia period a theme of anxious con¬ sultation in many a family. The following remarka are offered in tbe hope that they may aaaiat tbe deliberations both of young men and of parents In this important matter. A young man*8 calling or occupation in Ufa ia determiued by a great variety of cir¬ cumstances. Sometimes tbere ia very little room for choice. For example, a son may succeed to a business made by the industry or skill of a father; or the assistance of relatives or the patronage «if frieuds may direct to a particular path iu life. But we are supposing a youth without any of these apecial advantages, having his own way to make in the world, and with nothing but bis own talents, strength, and industry to depend on. In thia case there are many things to be taken into account. There is the bodily health and constitution ; there is the mental capacity and education ; there Is uatural inclination and acquired taste, and other qualifications of a personal kind. It is a fatal mistake when a youth, either by his own choice, or by tbe advice (we shall not aay compulsion) of guardians, or parents, enters into an occupation for which be ia by nature or by circumstances unfitted. Yet this is a mistake constantly occurring, and attended with miserable consequences.— Strength, health, constitution of mind as well as of body, incltnatiou, taste, social position, and moral inflnencea, ought all, more or ess, to be taken into account iu determining the choice.
Besides these personal elements in .the in¬ quiry, there must be consideration of external circumstances depending on the particular state of society in certain places or times.— One branch of manual induatry, or one line of intellectual labor, may be aubject to com¬ petition BO excessive, tbat it would be unwise to enter upon the struggle except with quali¬ fications certain to command success, how¬ ever much the inclination might be biassed iu that directiotL In other departments, capital may be necessary, or patronage, or an introduction not dependent on personal merit or exertion. Iu different parts of the country tbe chances of obtaining employment vary, and there are some callings that cau be car¬ ried on best in certain localities, while others are in demand in every district. Those who are willing to emigrate to foreign lands, or to the colonies, may trnst to qualifications dif¬ ferent from what othera possess who are re¬ solved to remain at homi. All tbese points we merely hint at in this place, to show how much need there is for careful and judicious deliberation before choice is made. Previous to entering into details, we have a few sug¬ gestions to otTer, which are applicable to eve¬ ry case. From inattention to the points to which we are now going to refer, much injury thongh life is sustained.
The choice ahould not be made too early. Both in town aud country the hard require¬ ments of poverty compel many youths of tender years to begin betimes to earn their daily bread. We have nothing to say where the necessity for this exists, and a boy of
but there have been races and classea of men who have been heroes upon bread, fruit, and vegetables. The poor caunot live upon "cur¬ ry," it is trne; bat in England, with less driuk aud more vegetable food, they would be an improved race. Not that they could live like a Lazaroui, on macroni and the open air.. Layard says the Bedouin owes his health and strength to his spare diet. But eveu a Bedouin swallows lumps of butter till he becomes bilious; and were he to live in England instead of the desert, he would not keep up hia strength by living on tbe dishes which supported him in Arabia Felix. The golden rule is "moderation and regular¬ ity." He who transgresses the rule, will pay for it by present sulTering aud a "check" after Christmas.
A false hunger ought not to be soothed, nor a false thirst to be satisfied; for satisfac¬ tion here ia only adding fut>L to a fire tbat would otheiwiae go out. Ou the otber hand tbe bilious and sedentary man need not be afraid of beer ; it is a better stomachic than wine. For him and all the lords of that heritage of woe* a weak stomach, the com- mon;sen3e system of cookery, as it is called, is most required. It is something between the hard, crude aystem of the English, aud the juice-extracting method ofthe French; with a leaning, however, towards the latter, (with whom it is common to reduce food to a condition of pulp,) by uniting with it so much of the Engliah custom as allows the gelatinous matter to he retained, especially in the meats. "Festina lente," is "Laiin de cuisincj" for "Eat slowly," and it is of first- value. He who does so, gives best chance for healthy chyle; and that wanting, I should like to know wbere tbe post-prandial enjoy¬ ments would be. Withont it digestion is not; and when digestion is away, Death is always peering about to profit by his absence, "See to iti" as the Chinese "chop" says.
There are upwards of seventeen hundred works extant on the subject of diet and di¬ gestion. Sufferers may study the question till they are driven mad by doubt and dya¬ pepsia, and difference of opinions among the doctors. Fordyce saw no use iu the salvia, and Paris maintains that without it digestion is not. "Quot homines, tot senteniicB," is as applicable here as in every other vexed ques¬ tion. Bat Paria's book on Diet is the safest guide I kuow for a man who, being dyspeptic wanta to cure himself, or simply to discover the definement of his degree of suffering.— On the other hand, every mau may find oom¬ fort in reflection, that with early hours, abundant exercise, generous diet, but not too mnch of it, occupation—without which a worse devil than the former enters on pos¬ session of the victiq;!—dyspepsia cannot as¬ sume a chronic form. It may be a casual visitor, but it will be the easiest thing pos¬ sible to get rid of bim. But philosophy has eaid as much from tbe beginning, and yet dyspepsia prevails and physicians ride in carriages. Exactly I and why ? Because philosophers themselves, like the Stoio gen¬ tleman in Marmontel, after praising simplicity of living, sink to sleep, on heavy sappers and beds of down, with the suicidal remark, that ^'le luxe est unejolie chose."
We must neither act unreservedly on tbe dictum of books, nor copy slavishly the ex-
right feeling will gladly submit to toil, or give   amples of others, if we  wonld hava the di-
up prospects that he might bave after better scooling, if, by his early exertion, he can make the burden lighter for his parents, and bring hia share to the family resources.    In aome trades, it is also necessary for the ap¬ prenticeship to begin early.  Bu. where theie is no compulsion to  remove a youth from -home and from school, it is both unwise and unfair to hurry him into the business of life. If a boy is idle, or mischievous, or likely lo be spoiled by an indulgent mother, or led in¬ to evil by bad companions, the case becomes different; the sooner he  is set to work the better.   We are supposing now, however, a boy of average abilities aud disposition, with will as well as opportunities of improvement, "both bodily and mental    It ia ahort-aighted policy to thrusi such a boy prematurely into the world to begin to do for himself.    The health may be irrecoverably injured by labor beyond tbe strength in the years of early growth.   If there is no risk on that score there is the arrest laid on education at the very time when the mind is most capable of profiting by instruction received.   A   good ahooling is often a fortune in itslf, and will increase the chances of success in any walk of life.   Parents or guardians ought never to grudge the time~ given to general educatiom although the time may be thereby delayed for the special training required for a busi¬ ness or profession.   It ia true tbat where the love of knowledge exists, it will be cultivated under any circnmatancfts.   The great African explorer, Dr. Livingstone, has lately told how he used to read books, laid on the frame of the loom at which he worked; and history abounds in examples of tbe persnit of knowl edge under difficulties.   Bat wbere parents can, by tboughtfulneas and even by self- denial, extend the education of their children, it ia their wisdom as well as their duty to do so.   Money and time devoted to this are well laid oat. The greatest men have looked back with regret to the years of youth aa the sea- Bou for acquiring knowledge.   Sir  Walter Soott himself said he would give half his fame for learning which he might have ac¬ quired at BohooL- Apart from the special quali£caUou8 which give success in certain oallinga, every one understands the worth of a aensible, well-infdrmed man, and the possesaioa of this character very much de¬ pends'on the general education prevloufl to entering on a particular business or profes- ¦lon.

gestion in a healthy condition. There is a self-monitor that may safely be consulted.— Of his existence there cau be no doubt; for every man who wakes with a headache most ungratefully blames that same monitory "self,"—Dr. Doran.
Random Reflectioss.—Next to that of um brellaa, the ownerahip of books is  perhaps tbe least respected.    Hence the philosophical thongh rude remark, that fools  lend books, and wise men borrow them.   The value of a " good thing " depends on him who utters it. The joke of the host is oertain to be laughed at; that of the poor relation Is scarcely even listened to.    My son, if thou wilt wear tight boots, there are three bad  things thou   wilt inevitably suffer ; namely, a bad corn, a bad gait, and a bad temper. When a man is so re^ duced that he has to pawn his ring, it may be safely inferred that he is hardly worth a rap.' It is the last air on the hurdy-gurdy  that gets tbe player's head broken.    How fleeting in the holidays is a leg of mutton 1   Still, a prelude of hard dumpling is an  antidote  to appetite.    It ia said that necessity knows no law.   This acconnta for people making auch a virtue of necessity.    My aon, when hack- men take the pledge, and the police will not take supper when on culinary duty ; when " genuine Havanas," are no longer grown in Connecticut,   nor " real Suffolk sausages " chopped and stuffed in Dogtown; when  an omnibus half empty goes the same pace as a full one; when ."original" American farces are no longer to be traced as adaptations from the French, and " Shakaperian" circus-clowns make jokes that one cau langh at; when the law of private property extends to umbrellas, and a case of confiscation may be dealt with as a theft; when a laundress gives up taking suns', and abstains for fonr aud twenty hours from touching anybody's gin-bottle ; when a bachelor in lodgings flnda a shirt   withoat  a button off, and haa his shaving-water brought without ringing more than twice for it; when tbe beef-eaters are all of  them confinned Vegetarians, and no aldermau will  take a second plate of turtle.   Then, 0 my sou, thou may'at chance to find a wife  who will no objeot to travel without eight and twenty packages, and who will show herself poaaes- aed of suoh angelic self-denial as even to re¬ fuse thy offer of a dress because ahe finds and confeas'ea that she doesn't want it.

Practical benevolence is a problem as yet not satisfaotorily solved. Ofthe the various ways of benefiting mankind, tbere is not one perhaps, upon whioh any very decided ma¬ jority of the race oould be fouud in approval, while many schemes, originating In the beat of motives aud designed to accomplish un qualified good, have proved, upon trial, effi- oientfor miachief. A man, moved by tbe tenderest oompaaalon, not unfreqnently com¬ mits an act whioh so far from conferring an advantage on the subject of it, places htm in a far worse oondition thau before. Among tha whimsical anecdotes of mendicity which they tell in Paris, there is one ludicreualy illustrative of the injury that may sometimes be wrought hy the performance of the great¬ est of all benefaotlona. Au eminent surgeon who had devoted himself to the atudy of the eye, and succeasfnlly treated many cases of loss of vision apparently hopeless, was ac¬ costed one day ou the Font Neuf with the customary supplication from a blind beggar of Pitiez le pauvre aveugle. Looking curi¬ ously into the sightless orbs of the man, the surgeon thought he saw the possibility of making him see. He begged permission to operate in the oaae, and, the %liud man con¬ senting, the cuticle was removed whioh shut out the external world from the retina, aud, after a few weeks spent in a darkened cham¬ ber, the beggar walked forth to behold for tbe first time tbe bright blue sky and the smiling fields, and all the thousand pretty sights of the gay capital of France. The surgeon went his way, rejoicing in the tri¬ umph of science and amply repaid for his efforts iu the couscioasness of having beeu the instrument of conferring an inestimable benefit upon an unfortunate fellow creature. Two or three months rolled by, and the sur¬ geon was visite<i one morning by an advocate, who announced civilly that he came on be¬ half of the blind bepgar of the Pont Neuf.— "Go your way," said the surgeon to the ad¬ vocate, " I wftot neither thanks nor remu¬ neration, the pleaaure of giving sight to a human being bas been to me a sufficient re¬ ward for my trouble " " Sir," said the advo¬ cate, " the case is very different; I come to demand for my client an annuity of three thousand franca a year!" The astonished man of science desired an explanation of this singular claim. "It ia sufficiently simple," replied the advocate, "when my client was blind, he realized 3,000f. annually by begging, but, in restoring him to sight, you have de¬ prived him of his means of livelihood, and it remains for you to make the proper amende."
Absurd as this story is, It may neverthe¬ less teach us that philanthropists sometimes err lu the administration of their charities and work evil results by meaus which com- uiend'themselves to universal approval.— Especially should we be disposed to queatiou the good which is likely to flow from eccen¬ tricities of benevolence. The day has passed by when a Lady Bountiful might di.stribute food and clothing indiscriminately to all ap¬ plicants with a hope of permanent advantage to the community, since for one deserving person who might apply, there would be probably a dozen idle and worthless vagrantsi to maintain whom iu their profligacy and an- thrift were au absolute evil.
Our readers have doubtless observed the accouuts which have appeared in the dally papera of the amiable project of Mr. Johu Washington Farmer, of 47 Ludlow street. New York, to feed the hungry of that I rge city "without money aud without price."— Whether Mr. John Washington Farmer is a gentleman who, Uke Sir Charles Coldstream, has exhausted all the resources of excite¬ ment, and is looking out for a "new sensaT tion," or whether he ia actuated by the nobler impulse of a sense of duty, tbere cau be no question that his " Free Dining Saloon" ia iu theory a very benevolent enterprise.— And without wishing to go behind the kind¬ ly act for a selfish motive, we are content to say that his scheme gives earnest of a most generous and sympathizing heart. But the ultimate advantage of it Is altogether another affair. We learu from our New York con¬ temporaries that the nu-.iber of persons who avail themaelves of Mr. Farmer's bounty has reached fifteen hundred, and is daily increa¬ sing, aa the fame of the " Free Dining Saloon" is spread abroad, and the excellence of its soups and sirloins ia established among all the dinnerlesB inhabitants of Manhattan Island. From 11 A. M. to 5 P. M. the hold- era-of tickets (which are gratuitously dis¬ tributed at the police stations) are entitled to allay their hunger at 47 Ludlow street, and between the hours of 12 snd 2 all corners are welcomed to the savory aalle-a-manger wbere the benignant Mr. Farmer presides ih person and hovers over the repast like some good fairy over the enchanted sappers of the land of dreams. We are disposed to think that "47 Ludlow street" will aoon be found too small to accommodate applicants for the free dinners and that the adjoining tenements of 45 and 49 will have to be added to its di¬ mensions unless some restrlcLion is placed upon the charity.
We should be glad to know how many of thoae fifteen hundred beneficiaries are de¬ serving of maintenance at the hands of our eccentric philanthropist. We hope Mr. Far¬ mer has instituted aome meaus of ascertain¬ ing what proportion of pickpockets, dilapi¬ dated "cracksmen," broken down burglars and collapsed receivers of stolen gooda, he has been paying to feed during the present season. Conld he make an accnrate clasifi- catioa of his guests according to worth aud absolute uecessity, he might be able to de¬ termine positively whether the ends of hu¬ manity would be served by bis keeping up the "Free Dining Saloon" for auother winter. As it is, while he may unquestionably derive some satisfaction from reflecting tbat be has saved some unfortunate fellow creature from starving, he canuot be sure that his benvo- lencb has not afterall been productive of evil.         *»ae»—•

Spfii^o Chickkss.—Are always in active demand from May to September, to tha vicin¬ ity of all our cities, aud the larger towns. Of course they are profitable to tbe farmers, aud small landholders and cottagers, who breed them. This is'a good month to set the hens, and batch them out. For this purpoae. a warm hen-houae, and coops in sunny places, are reqnired. Let the eggs be kept in a pro¬ per temperature, tlU the heu is ready to set on them. Thirteen ia the proper number for a clntch of chickens. When hatched, if milk ourda can be had, this is their best food. If not, soaked bread for the first few days, and after tbat, Indian meal well cooked, like mush for yonr own table. Raw m«il, wet up n the usual way, ia harsh and scouring for their delicate stomachs. When a few weeks old, chopped cabbage, and other tender vegeta¬ bles, are to be added, and sour milk is the very beat drink they can have.
We wonld, by aU means, entrust the early chickens to woman's care. She seems to possess the necessary instincts—worth all the hoys and men in the country. We have known a Scotch, Dutch, or Irish washerwo¬ man's cottage, surrounded by a close wall, alive with early chickens, when the geutle^ man's and fanner's premises would scarce supply a fowl for the table before September. DouH keep the "big" breeds for "Spring chickens" either. A close, compact, early matured fowl is the thing for this purpose.— In most large towna a plump, fat chick, the size of a quail, wiU seU for aa much iu May or June, as a faU grown one wiU in October; and if they only know you have them, the tavern-keepers and peddlers will be after them every day in the week. To the habit these latter people have of confining them in close, filthy coops for days together, we enter onr protest. It poisons and defiles tbe taste of the flesh.   It makes them poor.

The following fine passage, from the pan of Dr. George Wilson, is a part of an article quoted by' Littell'a Living Age from the Ed¬ inburgh Kaaay's;'
" The living body of mau unites iu Itself the contrasted and apparently incompatible qualities, of great stability and gieat mobili¬ ty. It is so stable tbat it oau last for three score years aud teu; for a hundred or more ; maintaining Its aharply defined iudivldnality aU the time. It is so mobile ihat it does not consist of entirely the same particles during any two successive moments. The dead matter of the outer world, itis ever changing into its owu living sabstance ; and ita living substance it is ever changing into dead mat¬ ter, which, as alien to itaelf, It returns to the outer world. Like tbe heavenly bodies, it undergoes a series of secalar variations, which carry it with continual altering condi¬ tions throagh the several phases of embry¬ onic, infant, adult, and senile Ufe. Like cer¬ tain heavenly bodies, also, it describes a di¬ urnal revolution, knowing the alterations of sleep aud waking, hunger and satiety, activ¬ ity aud rest. The reproduction of its kind iuvolvea a peculiar series of complex changes especially in the maternal organism. Me¬ chanical injuries disabling or destroying or¬ gans and tissue require tbe manifestation of corresponding recuperative processes. Dis¬ ease, equally defacing and destructive, de¬ mands a countervailing, vis medicatrix to neutralize its violence ; or rather, disease is a battle between the orgauismal elementa which are quick at finding a casus belli, and are very rarely at perfect peace with each other. Everlasting change and yet fixity.— Unceasing struggle aud yet no schism. Civil war and yet no anarchy. Theae unlike cou- ditious are realized aud harmonized, every momeut, in our faarfully and wonderfully made bodies.
" If we reduce these apparent incompati- bles to their simplest expression, we shall perhaps find it in this. Physically, the human orgaui:im is an aggregation of solids and h'quid.s which are continually changing into each other; the solid melting Into the liquid, the liquid congealing into the solid, whilst both stand so related to the air whioh is the breath of life, that they are continaal- ly vaporising into gasses, aud gassea are con. tinually liquifying and solidifying Into them. When Hamlet exclaimed:
" * Ob ! th&t tbu too. too solid fle»h woald melt, Tbair, and ro»olve Itself into a dew'—
he was preferring a request whicb was grant¬ ed before it was preferred, and which is every moment receiving fulfillment in each of us. Blood is liqnified muscle, sinew, nerve, brain, and bone. Bone, brain, nerve, sinew, aud muscle are solidified blood; aud at every mo¬ ment flesh is becoming blood, and blood fleah. The current io onr veins is at once a river of the waters of llfej feeding ^and auatalnlag all that grows along Its shores, and a river of tbe waters of Lethe quenching iu oblivion everything that it touches. Like the Nile, or other great rivers of the world, it is at tbe same time weariug down hills, and building up coutinents; but with this difference, that whereaa the Nile is ouly destructive among the mountains of Abyssinia, and only con¬ structive in tbe plains of Egypt, the blood at every point in its course is simultaneously adding aud subtracting.
Those wonderona crimson barks or wood- cell wh ch navigate the arteries are keen traders, aud follow the rule of the African rivers, where aales are effected only by bar¬ ter; but they add to thia rule one peculiar to themaelvea, which neither^ civilized nor aavage men care to follow, namely, that they give away new goods in exchange for old.— Here the traffickers ou the red river deposit fresh brain particles, to replace those which tbe immaterial spirit haa sacrificed to the expression of its thoughts. Jeremy Taylor taught a great physical trnth wheu he de¬ clared long ago, that "while we think a thought we die." The eloquent preacher saw death near us at avery moment, and nearer at each than at the moment before ; but death is in us at every moment, and it Is not merely whilst, but because we think a thought that we die. Alas I that we cannot be content with such Innocent self-slaughter, which the river of life forgives into resur¬ rection in every case as fast aa it ripples along. It cannot help ua, if we over think ourselves and die before our time, hut daring life its marluers deal in all vital wares. As fast as the blackamith waatea hia mnsclea by each blow, they barter againat the spent cordage of hia arm, new flesh-particles to make it strong aa before; they restore to its integrity the exhausted auditory nerve of the musician, give the painter a new retina, aud thH singer a uew tongue. Wherever, in a word, the million lamps of Ufe, which keep up Us flame at every point of the body, have burned to the socket, they are replaced by freshly trimmed ones; nor is it here as with the barter of Aladdin's lamp. The new lamp is in this case the magic one; the genie haa departed from the old."

Ghabactsr of the Age.—Were we required to characterize this age Of ours by auy aingle epithet, we should be tempted to call it, not an heroical, devotional, philosophical, or mor¬ al age, bnt above all others, the mechanical age. It is the age of machinery, in every outward and inward sense of that word; the age, which, with its whole undivided might, forwards, reaches and pi^ctises the great art of adapting meaus to ends. Nothing is now done directly, or by hand ; all ia by rule and oalculated contrivance. For the simplest operation some helps and accompaniments, some cunning abbreviating process ia iu rea¬ diness. Our old modes of exertion are all discredited and thrown aside. Un evrey hand the living artizan is driven from his workshop to make room for a speedier inanimate one.. Tbe shuttle drops from the fingers of the weaver, and falls into Iron fingers that ply it faster. Tha sailor furls his sail and lays down his oar, aud bids a strong iinwearied servant, on various wings, bear him through the waters. Meu have orosaed oceans by ateam ; the fire kiug has vialted the fabulous eaat, and the genius of the Cape, were there any Camoena now to sing it, has again been alarmed, and with far atranger thunders than GJama'a. There is no end to machinery.-.- Even the horse Is stripped of his harneas and finds a fleet firehorse yoked in his stead.— We hava an artist that hatches chickens by steam, the very brood-hen ia to be supersed¬ ed .' For all earthly and for some unearthly purpose, we have machines and mechanic furtherances; for mincing our oabbages—for casting ua iuto magnetia sleep. We remove mountains aud make saaa our amooth high¬ way ; nothing can resist ua. We war with rude nature; aud by our resistless engines come off always victorious and loaded with spoils.
What wonderful accessions have thua beeu made, and are atill making, to the physical power of mankind; how much better fed, clothed, lodged, and in all outward respects accommodated, men uow are, or might Im, by a given quantity of labor, is a grateful reflec¬ tion which forces itself ou every one. What changes, too, this addition of power Is intro. ducing into tlie social system, how wealth has more and more increased, and at the same time gathered itself more aud more into masses, strangely altering tbe old relations and increasing the distance between tbe rich aud the poor, will be a question for political economists, and a much more cumplex aud important one than any they have yet en¬ gaged with. Our true deity is mechanism* It has subdued external nature for ns, and we think it will do all other things. We are giauts in physical power; we aro Titans, tbat strive, by heaping mountain ou mouutaiu, to conquer heaven also.

Both animala expanded their ears and list¬ ened, theu left their bath as the crowd ruahed toward them. The little one ran forward to¬ ward the end of the valley, but, seeing the men there, returned to hia dam. She placed herself ou the dauger side of her calf, and passed her proboscis over it again and again, as if to assure it of safety. She frequently looked back to the meu, who kept np an in¬ cessant shouting, singing, and piping ; then looked at her young one and ran after it, sometimna sideways, as if her feelings were divided between anxiety to protect her off¬ spring and deaire o reveuge the temerity of her persecutors. The meu kept about a hundred yards In her rear, and some that diatance from her flanka, and oonfinued thus until she waa obliged to cross a rivulet. The time spent iu descending aud getting up the oppoaite bauk allowed their ooming up tothe edge, and discharging their speara at about twent.y yarda distance. After the first dis¬ charge she appeared with her sides red with blood, and, beginning to flee for her own life, seemed to think no more of her young. I had previoiiBl7 sent off Sekwebu with orders to spare the calf. It went very fast, but neither young nor old ever enter into a gal¬ lop; their quickest pace ia only a sharp walk. Before Sekwebu could reach them, the calf sought refuge in the water, and waa killed. The pace of the dam gradually became slow¬ er.   She turned with a  shriek of rage, and
made a furious charge back among the men. They vanished at right angles to her course,
or sideways, and, as she ran straight on, she
went through the whole party, but came near
no oue except oue man who  wore a piece o^
cloth on his ahoulders.    Bright clothing ia
always dangerous in these cases. She charged
three or four  times, and, except in the first
instance, never went further thau 100 yards.
She often atood after she had crossed a rivu¬ let, aod faced  the men, though she received
fresh spears.    It was by this process of spear¬ ing and losa of blood that ahe was killed; for
at last, making a short charge, she staggered
round and sank down dead iu a kneeling pos¬ ture.   I did not see the nhole hunt, having
been tempted away by both sun aud moou
appearing  unclouded.     I   turned   from  the

Educational Hiou Pressdhb.—In con<- demning the nnrelaxing discipline to which our boys and girls are now aubjected, the Medical Circular says, the mind as well as the body la sure to suffer from it. Inatead of forcing as muoh instruction in a giv en time iuto tbe human brain aa its capacity aud powers of apprehension will receive, the tutor shoald consider that childhood is the appropriate time for the discipline of the body, for the consolidation of the bony fabrlo for the invigoration of the muscles, and the healthful developement of tbe glandular nutritive ayatem. Pure air, exercise, liberty and a eufficlency of good food are absolutely accessory to physical development ; to which we would add, moderate study, and a watch¬ ful encouragement of gay aud joyous emo- tioma. To enable us, however, to carry out auch a system as this, we must keep our children longer at school than is the present custom, so that we shall not be under the need of requiring one age to do the work of another. Time isau important element in training; and if we work against it, we put the faculties to an unnatural strain, which must be prodnctive of muoh unconsidered evil.
with a feeling ot sickness, and it was not re¬ lieved by the recollection that the ivory was mine, though that waa the case. I regretted to see them killed, and more especially the young oue, the meat not beiug at all neces¬ aary at the time ; bnt it Is right to a id that I did uot feel sick when my own blood was up tbe day before. We ought, perhaps, to judge those deeds more leniently in which we ourselves bave no temptation to engage. Had I not been previously guilty of doiug the very same thing, I might have prided myself on superior humanity when I experienced the nausea In viewing my men kill these two.
SOLDIER ANTS. I observed several regiments of black sol¬ dier-ants returning from the marauding ex¬ peditious. They are black with a slight tinge of gray, about half an inch in length, and on the time of march appearthreo or four abreast; when disturbed, they utter a distinct hissing or chirping aouud. They foUowa few leaders who never carry any thing, and they seem to be guided by a scent left on the path by the leaders: for, happening once to throw the water from my basin behind a bush where I was dreasing, It lighted on tbe path by wbich a regiment had passed before I began my toilette, and wheu they retumed they were totally at losa to find the way home, though they continued searching for it nearly half an hour. It was found, ouly by one making a long circuit round the wetted spot. The scent may have indicated also the propriety of their going in one direction only. If a handful of earth is thrown on the path at the middle of the regiment, either on its way bome or abroad, those behind it are complete¬ ly at loss as to tbeir farther progress. What it may be that guides them, they seem only to know that they are uot to return, for they come up to the handful of earth, but they will not cross It, though uot a quarter of an inch high. They whee round and regain their path again, but never think of retreat¬ ing to their nest, or the place where the have be»»n stealing. After a quarter of an hour's confusion and hissing, one may make a circuit of a foot rouud the earth, and soon all follcw in that roundabout way. Wben on their way to attack the abode of tbe white ants, the latter may be observed rushing abont in a state of great perturbation. The black leaders, diitinguiahed from the res* by their great size, especially iu the region of the sting, then seize the white ants one by one, and inflict a sting, which seems to ' iu- ject a portion of fluid similar in effect to chloroform, as it renders them insensible, but not dead, and only able to move on two front legs. As the leaders toss them on one side, the rank and file seize them and carry them off.
Without theae black soldier-antsihe coun¬ try would be overrun by the white ants; they are ao extremely prolific, and nothing can exceed the energy with which tbey work. They perform a most important part iu the economy of nature by burying vegetable mat¬ ter as quickly beneath the soil as the feroci¬ ous red ant does dead animal snbstaucea.— Tbe white ant keeps geuerally out of sight, and works under galleries constructed by night to screen them from, the observation of birds. At some given signal, however, I never could ascertain what, they ruah ont by hundreds, and the sound of their mandibles cutting grass into lengths may be heard like a gentle wind murmuring throngh the leaves of the trees. They drag these pieces to the doors of their abodes, and after some hours toil leave off work, and many of the bits of grass may he aeen collected around tbe ori¬ fice. They aoutinn» out of sight for perhaps a month, but they are never idle. On one occasion, a good bundle of grass was laid down for my bed on a spot which was 'quite amooth and destitute of plants. The ants at once sounded the oall to a good 'supply of
cent visit to a farm In tbe neighborhood of Auburn, to witness a trial of mowers :
" Tbat bull was one of them. ' He was monarch' of all he could eat, chase, or gore. Being deeply interested in the apple crop, we wandered out of the field iu which the mowing was goiug on Into friend ShotwelPs orchard. Fat and handsome blood cows were lying about chewing their cuds, and utterly indifferent aa to what was golog on. We wandered on from tree to tree iu the large orchard; and, while critically examining some very fine fruit, were suddenly and rather unpleasantly startled from onr train of thought by the bellowing of Mr. Taurus, whose majesty bad beeu reclining, and of whose august presence we were unaware. He elevated bia tail, made the earth fiy with bis 'awful paws,' aud haviug thus luanife.'ft- ed his hoatllity, and given tone, if uot color to ills Idea that we were an interloper, made a plunge towarda us. A moment's view of onr autagoniat waa juat enough. His eyes fiaahed tire ; he roared like a'bullof Basban.i We did not at all fancy the atyle of hia horns; they were aa straight as needles and abont aa sharp. He exhibited unmistakable de^iirea to employ them upou us.
" Kn(!fwing that it was expected of us to repcrt the contest trial going on in another field, we remembered the prior and pressing interests of our friends, and set up a smart run. So did Mr. Bull. We scampered ; he scampered; he made * better time* tban we conld 'bottom out;' he gained on us rapidly; we could almoat feel his hot breath on the baok of our neck; it was neck or nothing; rail fence twenty rods off; bull within five rods; give np for 'goner;' no suoh thing; friendly apple tree with low branches ; clutch¬ ed two of them, and lifted our precious body into the tree; Taurus arrived just as we clear¬ ed tbe ground !
" Our enemy pawed around the tree ; bel¬ lowed after the manner of * Boanerges, the son of Thunder,' glared at us, aud finally walked off abont the distance of three trees. Thinking all was right, we slid down verti¬ cally, and 'put' for tbe crazy old rail fence.— The distance from tree to bull, and from tree to fence, was jnst abont an even thing. But our assailant saw tbe movement, aud at once again the chase was ahot one ; but thia time we distanced the ' hornod critter,' and, sca¬ ling the fence, landed in a field of rye at about the same moment our pursuer's horns stmck the top rails ofthe fence, and set them flying. Separated by the fence, we read the Bconndrel a lecture tbat we hope he will re¬ member to his last moments.
