"Tbey never loved as thou and I, Who vindicate tbe moral, Thnt aught whicb sweetens love can die In true love's lightest nuarrel." " It is certainly very disagreeable to lore another so much." This original remark was uttered as a stage aoliloquy, the little dressing or .sitting-room having no other occupant than the very pret¬ ty woman who laid down her book with a yawn, and took up her tidy in crotchet, lazi¬ ly netting a few stitches. To one wlto had never suffered from this excess of idolatry, it might he considered rather a singular com¬ plaint; but the case stood thus: Flora lias- tings had been a wife the very long timo of three months and a lialf. Uer wardrobe and house being in complete order, her husband very much at leisure in business, and with ample means, they had found nothing better to do than the modern and very selfi.-3h oc¬ cupation of " living for each other." That is, they had declined all party invitation af¬ ter the first gloBB of the bridal dress was dimmed, and when seen at all in public, were always together, she leaning on his arm with an enviable air or self satisfaction, looking up into his face with a most adoring glance whenever he chanced to speak, and he in turn bending down to catch her most trivial remark with a devotion that wonld have he- come a just-engaged lover. If at a concert he fanned her, ho supported her opera-glass, he cairied her hood and shawl. But even music, in which they both professed to he amateurs, seemed to have lost its accustom¬ ed charm, and they were certain to leave at the end of part first, no matter what were the attractions of the hill to less absorbed spectators. In short, everybody said—and everybody, ¦when turned gossip is not over civil or com¬ plimentary oftentimes—that " they are ma¬ king fools of themselves, aud it could not last forever." Some people are so envious of anything in which they do not share! They did not live in the city in the sum¬ mer season, but at Mr. Hastings' little coun¬ try house—large enough, however, to be thoroughly comfortable, and well fitted, and ^with a Iiead-servant who never bothered her mistress by asking instructions, wliich were sure to be comprehended in one sentence, " You know best, Margaret." So they lived an idle, fond, and. as they imagined, a per¬ fectly Iiappy life, with flowers which the gardener cultivated, and a little music, and tlie new books of the season. They did not invite any company to Brookside ; they did not wish any. Jlr. Hastings rode to town between nine and ten, returning by three, and from that time they were constantly to¬ gether, reading, w.ilking, or driving in the low carriage, one of their late acquisitions. At first they thought it delightful to sit to¬ gether on the veranda, Mr. Hastings enjoy¬ ing his after-dinner cigar and the newepaper. Flora with the last new novel and exquisite silver paper cutter, that had been one of the engagement presents. But they did not get on very well, there was so much talking to do between times, and at last they conceived ^ tho happy ide.% of reading aloud. Four whole days this liad been considered the heighth of enjoyment. They scarcely tasted the desert, so anxious were they to resume the thread of the story. Then the sewing- chair and the work basket table took their place outside the casement window, and Flora, with the prettiest and most becoming air of industry-, listening to Mr. Il.astings who sat with his feet supported at a consid erabJe .^ngle on the trellis of the porch, his chair artistically balanced, aud his head adorned by a broad-leaved straw hat, not be¬ cause he needed it, but Flora considered it particularly becoming to his dark, Spanish, melodramatic style of face and figure. And ih<-]i those little episodes of comment and criticsm, tbe Iiero and heroine being in all cases juiW^a .lud tested by their individu¬ al experience, and pronounced wanting, if tlio scales were not poibed to the most mi¬ nute equality. "A quarrel! My .lear Alfred, how can any woman speak unkiiidly to l,v;r husband ? I should be readv to bite my tougu.j pfl- jf j oould be guilty of it to you." '• My precious lovo would never thiuk of such a thing, I am sure. But all woiaun have not such angelie tempers, dearest." " Aud then some men are so provoking, not in the least like my Alfred. How did it ever, ever Iiappen you could caro for me ?" Considering Jliss Flora Willis was the pret¬ tiest, most admired, and wealthiest young lady of Mr. Hastings* acquaintance, it was rather singular. "Angel!" It was well the thickest of sweet-brier formed such a perfect screen, as the heavenly epithet was emphasized with a moat enraptured kiss. "How long have we been married love?" ^'mquired the angel, in the most captivatingly thoughtful mood, her hand looking so very white and small as it rested ou iiig jet black whisker. , , '* Three months, fourteen days and a half since I waa made so very, very happy. "And we love each other as dearly as ever. How strange?" " Yea, more dearly. And they told ua we should change." Such sarcastic repudiation of the charge as was conveyed iu that tone aud glance!— " They" would have been withered by it; even the blossoms of the sweet-brier shook and trembled "Yoa could not be unkind to your poor lit¬ tle Flora?" " Never, my own darling ! And she would not give her husband"— '* Never—never—never." The reader is lo suppose the blanks filled by an accompaniment between the murmur of an iEolian harp and the coo of the wood pidgeon. And so the poor book fell to the floor; and then it was too dark to see. A walk was proposed tlirough the shadedl ine.s, and when they returced. Flora was to weary to listen. The love quarrel iu the tale was left without denouement. Our actual lovers were so happy that they could aiford to lin¬ ger over it. So it hapjiened that the young wife was was reduced to tho occupations before de¬ scribed this warm summer afternoon. Her watch, again and again consulted, was held for iit least three quarters of an hour in her hand, the moments creeping by, and still Alfred had not come. She w«nt out on the veranda aud peered through the thickets of shubbery: but there was no sign of either horse or rider ; and while she stood there so disconsolately, she saw the book balf hid¬ den by the " Home Gazette," just as it had been dropped the uight before. "What could^eep Alfred so long?" They might have read several chapters before dinner, and found out how the quarrel was mado up. But the book must not lie there ; and as she stooped to raise it up tho leaves whirled over, open¬ ing most invitingly to chapter sixteenth.— She could uot resist reading on* a few pages, still leaning over the railing of the veranda, and then, more absorbed, sat down on the little sewing choir, and finished the exciting acene. She did not recollect until then the strict agreement they had entered into, not to read this particular book separately ; but a chapter or two could make no possible dif- erenoe, sho thought, walking up and down the garden path, listening to every sound. It was full an hour beyond the usual time. What could have happened ? That horse, she was sure, was not to be trusted, and go¬ ing so near the railroad especially. Oh, how dreadfully it would be if he were brought home dead, or very much injured! How horrible to watch him suffer pain ! And that he was obliged to go down to those dread¬ ful wharves. Oh, if he was anything but a shipping merchant! She was kept in .such a constant fear of small pox, or typhus fever, or some other shocking disease, all so preva¬ lent this season. He must be ill: yes, he had complained of a headache this morning. If he did not come iu another quarter of an hour, she would certainly go to town in the eveuing train iu search of him. And then ahe imagined herself driving about in alfear- ful haste, in a very desolate looking cab, so infinitely wretched that the tears came into her eyes at the very thought. Imagine her joy, then, at the sound o^ horse's feet, just as the frantic resolution was taken ; aud she llew down to tho gato to meet Alfred just as lie dismounted to opon it, receiving as her reward for all her anxie¬ ties a shower of kisses and loving epithetsj with fond chidiugs for her unreasonable fears for his saft:ty. She forgot to inquire for the headache.— "Oh, wliat a warm, disagreeable, uncomfor- tal le day it had been! If people could only live without eating such days !" And yet tho two managed to make a very comfortable supper, in spite of heat and romance, witha plentiful dessert of strawberries and cream. It was later than their ordinary hour, so much so that it was nearly dark by the time Alfred's cigar was finished. Flora thought that ho was mnch longer than usual in smoking, and discovered, with some im¬ patience, that he had indulged himself in a second, a rather unusual and selfish pro¬ ceeding, she thought, considering he was so very late, whicli, by the way, was not yet accounted for. The "angel,' had managed to work herself into a slight nervous fever, with the heat and afternoon's restlessness. It even seemed possible for the instant that " the king could do wrong." However, the pouting lip was kissed into its full round¬ ness again, as tho unconscious offender pro¬ posed an adjournment to the dressing room, and lights. "Don't you think it rather too warm, dearest?" was the mild expostulation of the husband, as Flora prepared to make his knee her easy-chair as usual. They would never quarrel! Oh, no; they had not eveu disagreed as yet. Not a word was uttered iu reply ; but one weatherwise might havo dreaded the poten- tious silence, more than the most abrupt re¬ tort, as the injured wife deposited herself on the ottoman instead. After she had been worrying about him all the afternoon, too!— She was fairly sick with anxiety : aud this was all her thanks. "Aud now, what shall we do this evening, my precious ? Do you feel like singing to your husband?" Exerting herself to sing suoh an oppressive evening ? It was jnst as thoughtful aa men usually were. What a selfish, exacting, in¬ different race! "It was too hot!'* Well, men are mortal, and even thoy may feel startled at an abrupt answer to au ordi- diuary question. But perhaps ho had been mistaken; Flora certainly could not have used that tone to him. " Ferhaps my darling would rather havo me read to her ?"' My darling vouchsafed to hand the book, open at the close instead of the commence¬ ment of the sixteenth chapter. " Wo did not get quite so far as this. Let mo see—about half through, I think." " I finished it this afternoon." "Oh, Flora ! you rem«mher our agreement. How could you ?" " You did the same thing yesterday." " One little paragraph, when tho cook cal¬ led you, dear." "Well, I can't help it. You can read up to me." " What if I don't choose to ?" Alfred's toue was certainly approaching the key at which Flora maintained the quiet. There may have been an added sharp. " Yon can do as you please, my dear !" " It was uot so much the words as the emile of mock courtesy, aud tlie flash of her eyea as she rose and left him. She had not intended to speak so ; she could not tell what evil spirit possessed her; uor did she feel how much expression that single sen¬ tence conveyed nntil she heard— " I certainly shall, my love I" in a tone ho had never used before ; so firm, so compres- *od it seemed ; and he, too, deserted the cen¬ tre table, and went out into the night air. She thrtjw lierself ou the bed, intending at first to go back to his side in a moment and make it all up. But as she heard his retreat- mg footsteps, a new re=uive flashed through her mind. She would undress and pretend to he asleep when he came ; that would pun¬ ish him properly for attempting to resent anythmg she might say. It was scarcely au instant's work ; tho pile of snowy skirts the light lawn dress were crushed into a heedless mass of drapery, the little slippers flung care¬ lessly away; aud before Alfred could have reached the gate the white robed figure was resting as q.uiet and calm as if never disturb¬ ed by an angr/ and fretful emotion. One but no, whatever his intentions, he returned immediately, and sat down beneath the sha¬ ded light. Her heart throbbed with secret exultation ; hu evidently wished her to come baok and allow liim to read. He should try a little suspense. She glanced beneath the hand that concealed her face. Ue looked sad and troubled but had resuui«d hia book. Perhaps he thought she would return by the time the chapter was finished ; but would teach him a lesson ; he should ask forgive¬ ness, for he had spoken as crossly as herself. Ah, what had become of all the loving feais and anxieties of that little heart, the fund, restless yearnings of tho afternoon, when she tiioughtthat to see him safe and well again would be all she could ask of earthly happiness ?

As soou as king, and she put out hor arms to be sure that i lessons are learned—although in a superficial she was not dreaming still—that it was really so late. Her husband's pillow empty '. She thought of the lounge by the window in the dressing-room ; he certainly could not intend to sleep there, away from her, all uight. A grieved, sorrowful feeling took tho place of the first resentful thoughts; aud then pride came back again as a sound from the next room confirmed hersuspicions. It was her husband turning restlessly upon mauner—and recited, they are too seldom re¬ peated or recalled, and hence they soon slip from the mind, and the pupil is allowed to imbibe the notion that he studies only to re¬ cite, and not for the purpose of acquiring mental discipline and useful knowledge.— When all the lessons in one subject are thus dispatched, another is immediately introdu¬ ced, and thus the pupil is permilted to move rapidly forward, learning, reciting, and for¬ the lounge with a long sobbing sigh, as if getting lesson after lesson, This practice, proceed far in studea in that superficial man¬ ner so common in many schools.

The first impulse, to go to him, to kneel down aud wind her arms around him, and ask his forgiveness, was resisted. It ^as certainly unkind in him to go to sleep with¬ out kissing her good night ; she should have wakened if he had, aud then it would have boen all right. A long, rolliug crash of tliunder broke in upon her reverie ; the glare of lightning whicii accompanied it re¬ vealed the lounge and its occupant; aud theu came a deluge of rain, and she heard the wind beat down the shrubbery before the window. The casements were both open, the rain came drenching in upon the new Brussels carpet, the books upon the centre- table, her work basket ; and there was Al¬ fred, for whoso health she had been so anx¬ ious, exposed to the wind and dampness.— Should she go and close the casement ? Ko ! that might waken him, and he would think that she had given up to him ; besides, she shrank from crossing the rooms at midnight, lighted only by those lurid flashes in the black, angry heavens. Poor wretched little wife, miserable indeed, iu her self-torture, lying npon her " widowed marriage pillow,'' and listening with straining eyes to the crash of the storm without, and the heavy breathing of the sleeper near her! Harder than all to bear was the upbraiding con¬ science, and tho dreary loneliness of the empty room. But, with all this, she sank into a disturbed, unquiet sleep; and when she woke again,-the cold sickly daylight was stealing through the room. At first she could scarcely recollect what had happened ; but, aa she sat up leaning upon her elbow, she saw her ornaments thrown into confusion upon tho dressing table, her dress upon the carpet, Alfred's de¬ serted pillow, with the amooth fold of the liuen undistuabed, and there he was lying, breathing so heavily that her fears overcame her self-will, and she called him to her side. But there was no answer but a half- moan of paiu as he threw his arms out wild¬ ly as one iu delirium. She was at his side in a moment, lifting the damp masses of his hair, kissing his eyes, his feverish cheeks, calling him by every endearing namo ; hut the submission had come too late—he did not kuow her ; and though he opened his eyes, it was only to close them again, as if the light was painful, with au indistinct, incohe¬ rent mutter. She had never seen violent illness before; but she realized in a moment that the fever she had so dreaded was upon him. The headaches—and he had beeu de¬ tained in town only by a viait to hia physi¬ cian, which he did not like to explain to her, fearing to alarm his darling—had been the precursors of a threatening malady, which the heat aud sudden change of temperature, lying since midnight by the open window, had developed rapidly. The curtains, the couch, his clothes, his very hair, were drench¬ ed in the driving shower, through which he had slept heavily. Poor little wife! Indeed, fearfully pun¬ ished, as she .watched many a long day and lonely night ere reason returned; listening to hia beseeching tones, begging her not to turn from him, not to be angry at such a trifle, to kisa him once more. And ahe did rain tears and kisses upon his burning fore¬ head, his lips, hia hair, without hushing those pleading entreaties that almost broke her heart. It was a long, long trial; but reason came at last, and she sobbed with joy and thankfulness aa she had done with an¬ guish and remorse, when she caught the first conscious glance, so full of love for her, the first faint murmur, " My own, precious wife I" Henceforth they live more wisely; and years after, when the wife was tempted to give utterance to impatient moods, fretful and angry words died away on her lips, re¬ buked by the remembrance of that terrible agony, lest her husband should die with the words of forgiveness unspoken. lNFtrE.vcE.-j.—For weal or woe, how are they falling around our children, especially in largo cities, every hour of their existence, and how wide awake should every parental heart be to the direction of the character of thoso influences! A abort time since, one of our daily papers, in noticing the death of an individual, says. "He was a raan of un¬ doubted talent, and had he fallen under prop¬ er influences, might have achieved a repu¬ tation and secured a fortune ; as it was he died at forty-two, without character or mor¬ als, a drunkard, an outcast, and a forger." What were some of the malign influences which shaped tliis man's course for infamy who otherwise miglit have bopn a credit to the nation and an honor to his kind? The love of dress, the Ii>ve of drink, and the love of the drama. Foppery, brandy and the theatre were hia ruiu, as they have been the ruin of countless mulititudes before. And what were some of the "proper infiuences'^ which the notice above intimates would have worked out a different destiny?—the influ¬ ence of a home, madehappy in childhood, by parental unity andpiety—by aisterly purity end affection, and by suoh a remembrance of the sabbath day, as secures it to bo spent how important and useful in themselves although utterly at variance with all sound such studies may be ; they can be more ad- principles in the theory and art of teaching, ^antageously pursued at a future time." is fostered by the undue desire of parents "ThoroughnesB, therefore, thoroughness for for the rapid promotion of their children by ^-^^^ g^j.^ ^f knowledge, and still more for the the competition of schools, Jhe misguided gake of the habit, ahould, at all events, be enforced ; and a pupil ahould never be per- zeal of teachers, the importunity of scholars, and by the wish of all to make a display ou the occasion of a public examination or ex¬ hibition. Quiutiliau, more than eighteen hundred years ago, ceusured the practice of underta¬ king to teach the young too fast, aud com¬ pared it to undertaking to pour very fast into a narrow-necked bottle; and every enlighten¬ ed, skillful teacher, since that time, has cor¬ roborated the correctness of the censure.— There are certain principles in the theory and practice of teaching, so generally recognized mitted to leave any subject, until he can reach his arms quite around it, and cleuch hands on the opposite side." "It ia of far more consequence to give the mind a degree of power which it shall be able to apply to any future study wheu needed, than it is to store it with any conceivable amount of learning." The Guano Trade. The New York Evening Post furnishes by our leading educationalists, that they some interesting^factsjespecting the guano may be regarded as woll established maxims. ia the aanctuaries of religioa- Among these are the following: It is essential to the highest success in teaching, especially iu elementary schools, that whatever is taught shonld be impressed again and again upon the mind of the pupil, until it shall be thoroughly wrought into his ' understanding as well as his memory. For, whatever is worthy of being taught at all, is worthy of being taught accurately and thor¬ onghly ; and whatever is worthy of being , learned at all, is worthy of being learned per- ; fectly and remembered permanently,otherwise '¦ it should not be found among the appointed . studies of the school. i "The habit of forgetting aome things when j attention is turned to others, especially in ; the earlier stages of education, is so great an ! evil in itself, and so discouraging to the leam. er, that it is far preferable for him to know perfectly, aud retain easily and securely a part, than to have so many studies, that each, in turn, passes through the mind as clouds through the sky." The want of attention to this important principle, renders the knowl¬ edge acquired in school exceedingly insecure, causing many things to fade from the memo¬ ry in order to make room for others. Let the pupil, therefore, at the very commence¬ ment of his education, understand that he is to be benefited, mainly, by what he learns and remembera, aud not by what he learns and immediately forgets, and never allow him to think that he has learned a lesson perfectly till he can explain it clearly and intelligently to others, and readily recall it at any future time. Another principle equally inportant with the foregoing, is " to make sure of what haa been once learned, either by constantly re¬ viewing it, or by frequently using it in the subsequent part of the course, or both. It is alao essential that every review ahould be conducted in some new way, so that the same principle shall re-appear under ever- varying forma. The novelty of its new phases will keep up a.fresh interest in the mind." It is not essential to good education and proper mental discipline, that the field of study should be very large, but it is indis¬ pensable that every inch of it should be thoroughly cultivated; forthe reason that a few subjects, fundamental in their charac¬ ter, which are well understood aud fully di¬ gested, are of greater value than a large number hastily and superficially studied.— Not only is the effect upon the mind better but the value of the habit, as an aid to fu¬ ture acquisition, is vastly superior. If the first acquisition of the scholar be of a faulty character, all his subaequent acquisitions will, in all probability, bo equally so. In schools where education is estimated by the number of subjects studied, rather than by the amount of mental discipline secured, and the accuracy and security of the knowl¬ edge obtained, " the efibrt of the scholara seems to be, to store the memory with an immense mass of worda and sentences, which are to them little better than the words of a dead language, or with a great number of facts without underatauding their nature, lelationa, or uaea. The minds of such schol¬ ars are like furniture rooms, crammed with articles without utility or order. The acqui¬ sitions made are not deeply and securely fixed in the mind. The objects presented to view leave no distinct impression. They are not compared, classified, and arranged into a system ly tlie intellect of the pupil, and consequently the memory holds them by a sliglit tenure. Knowledge thus acquir¬ ed is too superficial to deserve the name, and rather injures than improves the mind. It tends tn weaken the uuder.-;tauding, to de¬ stroy itd soundness and integrity, and to ren¬ der it incapable of those decisive anil sure acts which are uecessary to command re¬ liance. What is chiefly to be aimed at in training this faculty, is to give it power and precision, so that it may be both effective and safe in its operations. Such a result can be produced only by patient, exact, and thorongh training, ''Systematic and efficient mental training is a primary object of education, to which the acquisition of knowledge ia but secon¬ dary. The latter ia, in the earlier stages of study, chiefly important as a means of men¬ tal discipline, having, at the aame time, a trua bat sabordinate valne." aome favorite pastime, whilst their merry voices keep good company with the minutes as they fly—no care there for the morrow— no shrinking from the ghost of the past!— Old Sol may get up when he pleases and go to sleep when he pleases ; twelve o'clock is ( Godden little ones," may you never realize twelve o'clock at night.

Go down to the bank and see if those notes were discounted! Did you buy that exchange? Hurry, hurry, aro the sounds that note twelve o'clock iu the counting house. Twelve o'clock, in the bank :—The discount clerk opens his ledger; a crowd of anxious applicants present their books ; and, mark their counten.ances as tliey turn to leave.— Ten thousand dollars to raise, and my offer¬ ing refused, sa.ys one—and off he goes to shin it. Ten, fifteen, thirty thousand, says another; well, I knew they had to do it—I owe them so much that they must keep me going. And so, on it runs, this man nervous¬ ly grasping his refused notes and anxiously debating with himself, as to how he may best meet his obligations for the day; the other speculating as to what may be the most profitable inve.itment of his plethoric bank account.

Tho guano islands (the Chinchas) are about one hundred miles north from Callao, the longest of the group being two miles in length and a quarter of a mile wide, and the J and its feeble cry—the attentive nurse, the least about a mile iu length by half a mile in width. There is but little guano on the largest island, while upon the smallest it is two hundred and fifty feet deep. There are often from three hundred to five hundred sail of vessels, generaly of large size, loading pleasant news that "he is born." The fer¬ vent prayer that the suu of his future may be as bright as that which greeted his birth. And thus it is! The culminary point of day, aud its step toward deolinement. With men, happinesa and inquietude jostle oue another. Death and birth are curtained in the bed, and rocked in the eradle. " Time will end our Hti>ry: But no lime, if we end well, will end our glory." at one time.. At the rate which guano ia now shipped from these islands, it will be ex¬ hausted in six to eight yerra. Twenty thou¬ sand tons are sometimes removed in a single day. There is on one of the islands a set¬ tlement of Chinese Coolies, who are employ- ! ed in digging the guano and loading the ves- I sels. A task is giveu them each day, and if the gang fail to get out the given number of j wagon loads, of two tons each a day, their i bondage is continued a longer period, to make up: so many mouths or daya being added as wagon loads are wanting. These coolies are cheated into the belief by mandarins, or knowing Chinamen, that they are to be shipped from China to California and the gold diggings, and are further de¬ ceived by the offer of a free passage. The shipmaster takea them to the Peruvian gov¬ ernment and sells them for a round sum in the shape of freight money, and they are sent to the guano islands for life or for a term of five to seven years. The Peruvians also send all their prisoners of State, some two or three hnndred, into the guano mines, where they are let out to work by day and confined by night. The gnano is hard and cau only be broken up with the pickaxe. It is then broken and shoveled into the wagons and rolled through the " shuters" to the vessels. There is no fresh water upon the i.slands, aud each ves¬ sel is required to carry a ton of water there for every hnndred tons burden of the ship_ The oldest captain in the fleet from each na. tion ia appointed Commodore, and hoists hia flag as such ou his ship, where all disputes are settled. Indeed the municipal laws of the islands and tho fleet are decidedly of Yankee origin. Says the Post: " The islands are about ten miles from the main land and are composed of new red sandstone. The guauo is not all bird dung, but is largely composed of the mud of the ocean; that brought from Peru, is ao, at least. When anchors are hoisted into the ship from the holding grounds of vessels along the Peruvian coasts, large quantities of mud, ofa greenish white colorare brought up, and this mud when dried makes guano equally good with the guano taken from the islands. The birds and seals come upon the islands when the people are not at work, but it does uot appear that their dung or decayed bodies are more than a foot deep on auy of the islands. The composition taken from the islands, called guano, is strat¬ ified, and lies iu the same form it did before it was lifted up from the bottom of the ocean. Our informant says that a geologi¬ cal examination of the islands will satisfy any man that the guano ships are bring¬ ing away from these islands a very differ¬ ent thing from the dung of birds or decom¬ posed animals. Gibbs & Bright, of Liverpool, have a leaae of the Guano Islands from the Peruvian government for five years, which expires in 1857, but hope to get their lease renewed. This house pays the Peruvian government about S4 50 a tou for the privilege of taking all the guano from the islands, the govern¬ ment furnishing the men to dig the guano. ^^ The prevailing fashion among the la¬ dies, which transposes an angel into amodel artist, is universally detested by every gen¬ tleman whose good opinion a lady should desire. It blunts the finer feelings of both sexes, and is a disadvantage to the one by destroying all room for imagination to the other. A round, plump, white arm ia beau¬ tiful, and may be admired with all proprie¬ ty ; but an arm shaped like a three-cornered flle, with red elbows, is not beautiful, and, in competition with a Spanish garrote, would stand uo chance of being elected to one's neok. A white, round neck, with an alabas¬ ter base, half-concealed by a coquettiah col¬ lar, ia the moat bewitching sight in the world; but a large expanse of bony shoulders, j—what did you do? TuE Farmer a Max of Taste.—But the far¬ mer of to-day should bo not only a thorough¬ ly educated man, aud possessed of sound ac¬ complishments, he should be pre-eminon'.ly a man of fine taste. He is an indweller of Nature's Temple, and is every where sur¬ rounded by the beautiful creations of art supreme. Here he may take lessons from the choicest pencillings of a perfect master. In matters of taste, order and neatness, tl.e American farmer need be second to none; and these qualifications should be manifest¬ ed in all hia operationa. When I aee a farm laid out without regard to order or system, the fields taking shape aa the convenience of the moment raigh'. dictate, I conclude that the owner has never studied taste or economy. When I see the fences of a farm overgrown with bushes, briara, weeds, etc., it is quite clear to me that the man who " stays" there has very little taste, so far as his business is concerned When in passing the domain of a large farmer, I find his spacious dwelliug and his extensive barns and stables, aide by side— door yard and barn yard in close juxtaposi¬ tion—the latter odoriferous of its fertillizing contents-—I at once see that with all his ac¬ quisitions, the proprietor has neglected to store his mind with a little humanizing taste —a few ideas and principles of order and propriety—which would have put his barns and stables, with all their unpleasant accom- paniameuts, back, iu rear of the dwellings, where they belong, giving the latter promi¬ nence and character, showing that the farmer and hia houaehold believe themselvea scpe- rior to the beasts of the stall, and are unwil¬ ling to live virtually iu their midst. When I see a yard overgrown with wild grass and weeds, tbe fence shabby, no flow¬ ers or trees about, I know at once that there is no taste thero, iu doors or out. blood, which, in a few hours becomes impure, and begins to generate disease in every fibre of the system—the whole machinery of the man beoomes at once disordered, and he ex¬ presses himself as ^'feeling miserable." The terrible effects of checked perspiration of a dog, who sweats only by his tongue, is evinced by his becoming "mad." The water runs in streams from a dog's mouth iu summer, if exercising freely. If it ceases to run, that is Hydrophobia. It has been asserted by a French Physician, that if a person suffering under Hydrophobia can be only made to per¬ spire freely, heis cured at once. It is famil¬ iar to the commonest observer, that in all or¬ dinary forms of disease, the patient begins to get better, the moment he begins to perspire, simply because the internal heat is passing off, and there is an outlet for the waste of the .system. Thus it is that one of the most im¬ portant means for curing all sickness, is bod¬ ily cleanliness, which is simply removing from the[mouths of theae littlo pores, that gum, and duat, and oil, which clog them up. Thus it is, also, that personal cleanlineas is one of the main elements of health ; thus it is, that filth and disease habitato together, the world over. There are two kinds of perapiration, sensi¬ ble aud insensible. When we see drops of water on the surface of tho body as the re¬ sult of exercise, or subsidence of fever, that is sensible perspiration, perspiration recog¬ nized by the sense of sight. But when per¬ spiration is so gentle that it cannot be de¬ tected in the shape of water-drops, wheu no moisture can by felt, when it is kuown to us only by a certain softness of the skin, that is insensible perspiration, aud is so gentle, that it may bo chocked to a very consi lerable ex¬ tent without special injury. But to use pop¬ ular language, which cannot bo mistaken, when a man is sweating freely, and it is sud¬ denly checked, and the sweat is not brought omt again in a very few moments, sudden and painful sitfkness is a vory certain result. What then checks perspiration ? A draft of air while we are at rest, after exercise, or getting the clothing wet and remaining at rest while it is so. Getting out of a warm bed and going to an opeu door or windowi has beeu the death of multitudes. A lady heard the cry of fire at midnight; it waa bitter cold; it was so near, the flames illuminated her chamber. She left the bed, hoisted the window, the cold wind chilled her in a momont. From that hour until her death, a qnarter of a century later, she never saw a well day. A youug lady went to a window in her night-clothes to look at something in the street, leaning her unprotected arms on the stoue window-sill, which was damp and cold. She became an invalid, and will re¬ main so for life. Sir Thomas Colby, being in a profuse sweat one uight, happened to remember that he had left the key of his wine cellar ou the parlor table, and fearing his aervanta might improve the inadvertence and drink some of his wine, he loft hia bed, walked down stairs, the sweating process was checked, ¦from which he died in a few days, leaving six millions dollars in the English funds.— His illness was so brief and violent that he had no opportunity to make his will, and his immense property was divided among five or six day laborers who were hia nearest rela¬ tions. The great practical lesson whicii we wish to impress upon the mind of the reader is this: When you are perspiring freely, keep I.v MOTio.v until you get to a good fire, or to some place where you are perfectly sheltered from any draft of air lohatever. ¦"KUct^ from Snnili Q» treat, .»pp"iil« tli« uow Cmrt H. of the alloy.

HosESTY A.VD Trdbt.—The foUowiag pleaa ant anecdote is from " Glances andOlimpes," a new book by Dr. Harriet K. Hunt, who was once a teacher in Boston :¦— A cousiu of mine in Charleston, having passed away, it becamo proper that I should attend her funeral. It was school afternoon; I did not dismiss the scholars, and as they disliked a monitor, I hit upon the following plan of leaving them :— I placed in the chair the large old-fashion¬ ed slate, (it had been my father'a,) wrote on it the names of the scholara in the order in which they sat; and arranged the needle¬ work and reading—for I always had some interesting work read aloud by some elder pupil every afternoon—aud then said, " Now, children, when the clock strikes five, leave your seats orderly, go to my chair, and place on the slate by each of your names a unit for good behavior, aud a cross for bad.— When I retnm I ahall anxiously look at the slate, and in the morning, when you are as¬ sembled, 1 will read the list, bnt I trust in you I" On my return I visited the t-chool-room aud found but one cross on the slate ; and that where I least expected it, appended to the name of a beantiful, open, bright, brave child, who then promised muck for the world —the (act of having rich parents being her greatest drawback. She was the last child in tha school I should have thought capable of any misconduct. Well, the next morning came : the liat was read, it proved truthful; I but wheu I came to thia name, I aaid, "My dear child, you mnst explain ; why ia thia ? Loo^ng up to me with those soulful eyes and speaking with a ! aoulfal tone, which ever made her an object ' of sacred interest, ahe replied, " I laughed I aloud, I laughed more than onoe; I couldn't ' help it, beoaaso a alate was keeping ^school 1" TuE Sailor axd tue Winow, or Notulno Lost by Kindness.—Nearly half a century ago, when a coach run daily between Glas¬ gow and Greenock, by Paisley, one forenoon, when a little past Bishopton, a lady in the eoach noticed a boy walking barefooted, seemingly tired, and atruggling with tender feet. She desired the coachman to take him up and give him a seat, and she would pay for it. When they arrived at the inu in Greenock she inquired of the boy what waa his object in coming up there. He said he wiahed to be a sailor, aud hoped some of the captains wonld engage him. Sho gave hira a half crown, wished him success, and charged him to behave well. Twenty years after this, the coach was re¬ turning to Glasgow in the afternoon, on the same road, Wheu near Bishopton, a sea cap¬ tain observed an old widow lady ou the road, walking very slowly, fatigued and weary.— He ordered the coachman to put her in the ooach, aa there was an empty seat, aud he would pay for her. Immediately after, whon changing the horses at Bishopton, the passengers wore sauntering about, except the captain aud tbe old lady, who remained in the coaeh. The lady thanked him for his kindly feeling to¬ wards her, aa she was now unable to pay for a seat. Ho said : "He always had sympathy for weary pedestrians, ainco he himself was iu that state when a boy, twenty yeara ago, near this very place, when a tender hearted lady ordered tho coachman to take him up, and paid for his seat." "Well do I remember that incident," said she. "1 am that lady, but my lot in life has changed. I was then independent. Now I am reduced to poverty, by the doings of a prodigal sou." "How happy am I," said the captain, "that I have been successfnl in my enterprise, and am returning home to live on my fortune; and from this day J shall bind myself and heirs to supply you with twenty-five pounds per aunum till your death." i^'" Tom," aaid aman to his friend,"! think it highly dangerona to keep the hilla of amall banka on hand now-a-daya," "Tim," anawered the other, "I find it more difficult than dangerona." ^^ Let honesty be aa the breath of thy soul, and never forget to have a penny when all thy ezpensea are enamerated and paid.

Re¬ peated admonitions of thia kind at length had the effect to induce the recruit to raise his head, at last, to a level with the .-netting suu, and the officer ordered him to keep it there.

The Burial of MoBes,
And he buried him In a valley la the land of Sloab, over BO-alnst Bethpeor; bnt no mau kuoweth of his sepulebro unto tliis day,—Deut. xxxlv. 6.
By Kebo'tj louely mountain,
Ou thia Fide Jordan's wave, In a rale la the land of Moah,
There liea a lonely grave, Aud do man dug that repulchro.
And no man saw It o'er; For tbe angolc of Qod upturned thu aod,
And l^d the d^ud man there.
That was tbe jminde^t fuucral
That ever passed on oartb. Hut no man beard tbo trampling
Or t^aw tho train go forth. K'oieelet'fily as Ihe d.iyliffbt
Ceiues when tbe night If< donf. And Ihc crimson plrea'k on ocean's check
Grows iuto the great suu!
^'ol?eIoE^ly ae the spring time
Her crowu of verdure wc»vo§, And all tbe trees on all the hills
(Ipeu their thousand leaven; So. without hound of music.
Or voice of them that wept. Silently down, from tbe mountain'^! crown.
The great proccF.Mon swept.
Perchance the bald old o.icI^.
On frey Hetlipcor's licight, Out of his rocky eyrie
Looited on the wondrous sight. Percbauce the linn talking
Slill fliuns the halluwed spot: Fer bea^t auJ bird have t^eeu and heard
That wliich man kuoweth not.
But wben Ibe warrior dlclh, ¦ Hi^ comrades lu the w.ir. With arin> revorhcd and muQlcd drum,
Follew ibo luneral car, Thev shew llie buunen' taken.
They tell l.Ic bailie.-, won. Aud after hltn lead his ma^terlcFS steed.

eveu in liis sleep he felt their estrangement. The first impulse, to go to him, to kneel down aud wind her arms around him, and ask his forgiveness, was resisted. It ^as certainly unkind in him to go to sleep with¬ out kissing her good night ; she should have wakened if he had, aud then it would have boen all right. A long, rolliug crash of tliunder broke in upon her reverie ; the glare of lightning whicii accompanied it re¬ vealed the lounge and its occupant; aud theu came a deluge of rain, and she heard the wind beat down the shrubbery before the window. The casements were both open, the rain came drenching in upon the new Brussels carpet, the books upon the centre- table, her work basket ; and there was Al¬ fred, for whoso health she had been so anx¬ ious, exposed to the wind and dampness.— Should she go and close the casement ? Ko ! that might waken him, and he would think that she had given up to him ; besides, she shrank from crossing the rooms at midnight, lighted only by those lurid flashes in the black, angry heavens. Poor wretched little wife, miserable indeed, iu her self-torture, lying npon her " widowed marriage pillow,'' and listening with straining eyes to the crash of the storm without, and the heavy breathing of the sleeper near her! Harder than all to bear was the upbraiding con¬ science, and tho dreary loneliness of the empty room. But, with all this, she sank into a disturbed, unquiet sleep; and when she woke again,-the cold sickly daylight was stealing through the room.
At first she could scarcely recollect what had happened ; but, aa she sat up leaning upon her elbow, she saw her ornaments thrown into confusion upon tho dressing table, her dress upon the carpet, Alfred's de¬ serted pillow, with the amooth fold of the liuen undistuabed, and there he was lying, breathing so heavily that her fears overcame her self-will, and she called him to her side. But there was no answer but a half- moan of paiu as he threw his arms out wild¬ ly as one iu delirium. She was at his side in a moment, lifting the damp masses of his hair, kissing his eyes, his feverish cheeks, calling him by every endearing namo ; hut the submission had come too late—he did not kuow her ; and though he opened his eyes, it was only to close them again, as if the light was painful, with au indistinct, incohe¬ rent mutter. She had never seen violent illness before; but she realized in a moment that the fever she had so dreaded was upon him. The headaches—and he had beeu de¬ tained in town only by a viait to hia physi¬ cian, which he did not like to explain to her, fearing to alarm his darling—had been the precursors of a threatening malady, which the heat aud sudden change of temperature, lying since midnight by the open window, had developed rapidly. The curtains, the couch, his clothes, his very hair, were drench¬ ed in the driving shower, through which he had slept heavily.
Poor little wife! Indeed, fearfully pun¬ ished, as she .watched many a long day and lonely night ere reason returned; listening to hia beseeching tones, begging her not to turn from him, not to be angry at such a trifle, to kisa him once more. And ahe did rain tears and kisses upon his burning fore¬ head, his lips, hia hair, without hushing those pleading entreaties that almost broke her heart. It was a long, long trial; but reason came at last, and she sobbed with joy and thankfulness aa she had done with an¬ guish and remorse, when she caught the first conscious glance, so full of love for her, the first faint murmur, " My own, precious wife I" Henceforth they live more wisely; and years after, when the wife was tempted to give utterance to impatient moods, fretful and angry words died away on her lips, re¬ buked by the remembrance of that terrible agony, lest her husband should die with the words of forgiveness unspoken.
lNFtrE.vcE.-j.—For weal or woe, how are they falling around our children, especially in largo cities, every hour of their existence, and how wide awake should every parental heart be to the direction of the character of thoso influences! A abort time since, one of our daily papers, in noticing the death of an individual, says. "He was a raan of un¬ doubted talent, and had he fallen under prop¬ er influences, might have achieved a repu¬ tation and secured a fortune ; as it was he died at forty-two, without character or mor¬ als, a drunkard, an outcast, and a forger."
What were some of the malign influences which shaped tliis man's course for infamy who otherwise miglit have bopn a credit to the nation and an honor to his kind? The love of dress, the Ii>ve of drink, and the love of the drama. Foppery, brandy and the theatre were hia ruiu, as they have been

And what were some of the "proper infiuences'^ which the notice above intimates would have worked out a different destiny?—the influ¬ ence of a home, madehappy in childhood, by parental unity andpiety—by aisterly purity end affection, and by suoh a remembrance of the sabbath day, as secures it to bo spent

zeal of teachers, the importunity of scholars, and by the wish of all to make a display ou the occasion of a public examination or ex¬ hibition.
Quiutiliau, more than eighteen hundred years ago, ceusured the practice of underta¬ king to teach the young too fast, aud com¬ pared it to undertaking to pour very fast into a narrow-necked bottle; and every enlighten¬ ed, skillful teacher, since that time, has cor¬ roborated the correctness of the censure.— There are certain principles in the theory and practice of teaching, so generally recognized

"It ia of far more consequence to give the mind a degree of power which it shall be able to apply to any future study wheu needed, than it is to store it with any conceivable amount of learning."
The Guano Trade.
The New York Evening Post furnishes by our leading educationalists, that they some interesting^factsjespecting the guano may be regarded as woll established maxims.
ia the aanctuaries of religioa-
Among these are the following:
It is essential to the highest success in teaching, especially iu elementary schools, that whatever is taught shonld be impressed again and again upon the mind of the pupil, until it shall be thoroughly wrought into his ' understanding as well as his memory. For, whatever is worthy of being taught at all, is worthy of being taught accurately and thor¬ onghly ; and whatever is worthy of being , learned at all, is worthy of being learned per- ; fectly and remembered permanently,otherwise '¦ it should not be found among the appointed . studies of the school. i
"The habit of forgetting aome things when j attention is turned to others, especially in ; the earlier stages of education, is so great an ! evil in itself, and so discouraging to the leam. er, that it is far preferable for him to know perfectly, aud retain easily and securely a part, than to have so many studies, that each, in turn, passes through the mind as clouds through the sky." The want of attention to this important principle, renders the knowl¬ edge acquired in school exceedingly insecure, causing many things to fade from the memo¬ ry in order to make room for others. Let the pupil, therefore, at the very commence¬ ment of his education, understand that he is to be benefited, mainly, by what he learns and remembera, aud not by what he learns and immediately forgets, and never allow him to think that he has learned a lesson perfectly till he can explain it clearly and intelligently to others, and readily recall it at any future time.
Another principle equally inportant with the foregoing, is " to make sure of what haa been once learned, either by constantly re¬ viewing it, or by frequently using it in the subsequent part of the course, or both. It is alao essential that every review ahould be conducted in some new way, so that the same principle shall re-appear under ever- varying forma. The novelty of its new phases will keep up a.fresh interest in the mind."
It is not essential to good education and proper mental discipline, that the field of study should be very large, but it is indis¬ pensable that every inch of it should be thoroughly cultivated; forthe reason that a few subjects, fundamental in their charac¬ ter, which are well understood aud fully di¬ gested, are of greater value than a large number hastily and superficially studied.— Not only is the effect upon the mind better but the value of the habit, as an aid to fu¬ ture acquisition, is vastly superior. If the first acquisition of the scholar be of a faulty character, all his subaequent acquisitions will, in all probability, bo equally so.
In schools where education is estimated by the number of subjects studied, rather than by the amount of mental discipline secured, and the accuracy and security of the knowl¬ edge obtained, " the efibrt of the scholara seems to be, to store the memory with an immense mass of worda and sentences, which are to them little better than the words of a dead language, or with a great number of facts without underatauding their nature, lelationa, or uaea. The minds of such schol¬ ars are like furniture rooms, crammed with articles without utility or order. The acqui¬ sitions made are not deeply and securely fixed in the mind. The objects presented to view leave no distinct impression. They are not compared, classified, and arranged into a system ly tlie intellect of the pupil, and consequently the memory holds them by a sliglit tenure. Knowledge thus acquir¬ ed is too superficial to deserve the name, and rather injures than improves the mind. It tends tn weaken the uuder.-;tauding, to de¬ stroy itd soundness and integrity, and to ren¬ der it incapable of those decisive anil sure acts which are uecessary to command re¬ liance. What is chiefly to be aimed at in training this faculty, is to give it power and precision, so that it may be both effective and safe in its operations. Such a result can be produced only by patient, exact, and thorongh training,
''Systematic and efficient mental training is a primary object of education, to which the acquisition of knowledge ia but secon¬ dary. The latter ia, in the earlier stages of study, chiefly important as a means of men¬ tal discipline, having, at the aame time, a trua bat sabordinate valne."

But whilst the Lethe of repose and har¬ mony thus with bright surface rolls over the hour, beneath the bubbles and boils the turbulent current. The merchant, greedy o^ the prospect of gain, hurries his clerks. Are those bills of lading signed ? Has that order been filed ? Did you take up thoae notes ? Are thoae acconnts current made up ? Go down to the bank and see if those notes were discounted! Did you buy that exchange? Hurry, hurry, aro the sounds that note twelve o'clock iu the counting house.
Twelve o'clock, in the bank :—The discount clerk opens his ledger; a crowd of anxious applicants present their books ; and, mark their counten.ances as tliey turn to leave.— Ten thousand dollars to raise, and my offer¬ ing refused, sa.ys one—and off he goes to shin it. Ten, fifteen, thirty thousand, says another; well, I knew they had to do it—I owe them so much that they must keep me going. And so, on it runs, this man nervous¬ ly grasping his refused notes and anxiously debating with himself, as to how he may best meet his obligations for the day; the other speculating as to what may be the most profitable inve.itment of his plethoric bank account.

at one time.. At the rate which guano ia now
shipped from these islands, it will be ex¬ hausted in six to eight yerra. Twenty thou¬ sand tons are sometimes removed in a single
day. There is on one of the islands a set¬ tlement of Chinese Coolies, who are employ- ! ed in digging the guano and loading the ves- I sels. A task is giveu them each day, and if
the gang fail to get out the given number of j wagon loads, of two tons each a day, their i bondage is continued a longer period, to
make up: so many mouths or daya being
added as wagon loads are wanting. These coolies are cheated into the belief by
mandarins, or knowing Chinamen, that they
are to be shipped from China to California
and the gold diggings, and are further de¬ ceived by the offer of a free passage. The
shipmaster takea them to the Peruvian gov¬ ernment and sells them for a round sum in
the shape of freight money, and they are sent
to the guano islands for life or for a term of
five to seven years. The Peruvians also
send all their prisoners of State, some two
or three hnndred, into the guano mines,
where they are let out to work by day and
confined by night.

The oldest captain in the fleet from each na.
tion ia appointed Commodore, and hoists hia
flag as such ou his ship, where all disputes
are settled. Indeed the municipal laws of
the islands and tho fleet are decidedly of
Yankee origin. Says the Post:
" The islands are about ten miles from the
main land and are composed of new red
sandstone. The guauo is not all bird dung,
but is largely composed of the mud of the
ocean; that brought from Peru, is ao, at
least. When anchors are hoisted into the
ship from the holding grounds of vessels along the Peruvian coasts, large quantities of mud, ofa greenish white colorare brought up, and this mud when dried makes guano equally good with the guano taken from the islands. The birds and seals come upon the islands when the people are not at work, but it does uot appear that their dung or decayed bodies are more than a foot deep on auy of the islands. The composition taken from the islands, called guano, is strat¬ ified, and lies iu the same form it did before it was lifted up from the bottom of the ocean. Our informant says that a geologi¬ cal examination of the islands will satisfy any man that the guano ships are bring¬ ing away from these islands a very differ¬ ent thing from the dung of birds or decom¬ posed animals.
Gibbs & Bright, of Liverpool, have a leaae of the Guano Islands from the Peruvian government for five years, which expires in 1857, but hope to get their lease renewed. This house pays the Peruvian government about S4 50 a tou for the privilege of taking all the guano from the islands, the govern¬ ment furnishing the men to dig the guano.
^^ The prevailing fashion among the la¬ dies, which transposes an angel into amodel artist, is universally detested by every gen¬ tleman whose good opinion a lady should desire. It blunts the finer feelings of both sexes, and is a disadvantage to the one by destroying all room for imagination to the other. A round, plump, white arm ia beau¬ tiful, and may be admired with all proprie¬ ty ; but an arm shaped like a three-cornered flle, with red elbows, is not beautiful, and, in competition with a Spanish garrote, would stand uo chance of being elected to one's neok.

TuE Farmer a Max of Taste.—But the far¬ mer of to-day should bo not only a thorough¬ ly educated man, aud possessed of sound ac¬ complishments, he should be pre-eminon'.ly a man of fine taste. He is an indweller of Nature's Temple, and is every where sur¬ rounded by the beautiful creations of art supreme. Here he may take lessons from the choicest pencillings of a perfect master. In matters of taste, order and neatness, tl.e American farmer need be second to none; and these qualifications should be manifest¬ ed in all hia operationa.
When I aee a farm laid out without regard to order or system, the fields taking shape aa the convenience of the moment raigh'. dictate, I conclude that the owner has never studied taste or economy. When I see the fences of a farm overgrown with bushes, briara, weeds, etc., it is quite clear to me that the man who " stays" there has very little taste, so far as his business is concerned When in passing the domain of a large farmer, I find his spacious dwelliug and his extensive barns and stables, aide by side— door yard and barn yard in close juxtaposi¬ tion—the latter odoriferous of its fertillizing contents-—I at once see that with all his ac¬ quisitions, the proprietor has neglected to store his mind with a little humanizing taste —a few ideas and principles of order and propriety—which would have put his barns and stables, with all their unpleasant accom- paniameuts, back, iu rear of the dwellings, where they belong, giving the latter promi¬ nence and character, showing that the farmer and hia houaehold believe themselvea scpe- rior to the beasts of the stall, and are unwil¬ ling to live virtually iu their midst.
When I see a yard overgrown with wild grass and weeds, tbe fence shabby, no flow¬ ers or trees about, I know at once that there is no taste thero, iu doors or out.
blood, which, in a few hours becomes impure, and begins to generate disease in every fibre of the system—the whole machinery of the man beoomes at once disordered, and he ex¬ presses himself as ^'feeling miserable." The terrible effects of checked perspiration of a dog, who sweats only by his tongue, is evinced by his becoming "mad." The water runs in streams from a dog's mouth iu summer, if exercising freely. If it ceases to run, that is Hydrophobia. It has been asserted by a French Physician, that if a person suffering under Hydrophobia can be only made to per¬ spire freely, heis cured at once. It is famil¬ iar to the commonest observer, that in all or¬ dinary forms of disease, the patient begins to get better, the moment he begins to perspire, simply because the internal heat is passing off, and there is an outlet for the waste of the .system. Thus it is that one of the most im¬ portant means for curing all sickness, is bod¬ ily cleanliness, which is simply removing from the[mouths of theae littlo pores, that gum, and duat, and oil, which clog them up. Thus it is, also, that personal cleanlineas is one of the main elements of health ; thus it is, that filth and disease habitato together, the world over.
There are two kinds of perapiration, sensi¬ ble aud insensible. When we see drops of water on the surface of tho body as the re¬ sult of exercise, or subsidence of fever, that is sensible perspiration, perspiration recog¬ nized by the sense of sight. But when per¬ spiration is so gentle that it cannot be de¬ tected in the shape of water-drops, wheu no moisture can by felt, when it is kuown to us only by a certain softness of the skin, that is insensible perspiration, aud is so gentle, that it may bo chocked to a very consi lerable ex¬ tent without special injury. But to use pop¬ ular language, which cannot bo mistaken, when a man is sweating freely, and it is sud¬ denly checked, and the sweat is not brought omt again in a very few moments, sudden and painful sitfkness is a vory certain result.
What then checks perspiration ? A draft of air while we are at rest, after exercise, or getting the clothing wet and remaining at rest while it is so. Getting out of a warm bed and going to an opeu door or windowi has beeu the death of multitudes.
A lady heard the cry of fire at midnight; it waa bitter cold; it was so near, the flames illuminated her chamber. She left the bed, hoisted the window, the cold wind chilled her in a momont. From that hour until her death, a qnarter of a century later, she never saw a well day.
A youug lady went to a window in her night-clothes to look at something in the street, leaning her unprotected arms on the stoue window-sill, which was damp and cold. She became an invalid, and will re¬ main so for life.
Sir Thomas Colby, being in a profuse sweat one uight, happened to remember that he had left the key of his wine cellar ou the parlor table, and fearing his aervanta might improve the inadvertence and drink some of his wine, he loft hia bed, walked down stairs, the sweating process was checked, ¦from which he died in a few days, leaving six millions dollars in the English funds.— His illness was so brief and violent that he had no opportunity to make his will, and his immense property was divided among five or six day laborers who were hia nearest rela¬ tions.
The great practical lesson whicii we wish to impress upon the mind of the reader is this: When you are perspiring freely, keep I.v MOTio.v until you get to a good fire, or to some place where you are perfectly sheltered from any draft of air lohatever.
