THE LANGITAGE OS ANMAtS. Every variety of aniinated being possesses some means of iutelHgible commanication. Each creature—by pecaliar sounds or signs of correspondence—lias o language under- stood by ltd own kind, and sometimes learnt by others. EmotionB of cantion, affection and fear; of joy, gratitude and grief, are disclosed by simple tones of voice, or Ly impressive gestures, to signalize feelings, stricily com- probended and often answered. Insects and birds, flsh, and beasts, thns express them¬ selves—in distinct languages, signed, spoken and sung, seen, beard and fuU. want more rest, and that they ^11 not stir from the wallow, whilst the Indian uses every argument of voice, gesture, and emphasis Ue can command, as if speaking to his fellow man. It is astonishing in what fine condition the hogs submitted to this treatment reach a distant market. Diversities iu the tones, signs and manners of voice were recognixed in the writings of antiquity as a lauguage amoug .nimals and . is still so considered by all aboriginal people. '¦ , Such natural sounds or expressions in simple j notes of varied modulation, are almost as ' distinguishable byquick ears andobservation and patent study as if they were regulated ; by artidcial rules of grammar, syntax and j prosody.

Were we not possesed of an acute sense of pain, our feet might be crushed, onr hands lopped off, or any other member of the body destroyed, inasmuch as we shonld have no cognizance of any accident that might happen to tbem except throogh the medinm of the eyes, which could only warn ns of danger to a limited extent, because tbey can look in but out* direction at a time, and danger comes from all directions. The utility of tbe sense of physical pain is illustrated iu a most intep*»sting manner by the investigations and collations of science, of which we were recently reminded by read¬ ing an article on "T^e Sense of Pain in Man and Animals," in the London Quarterly Re¬ view. To illustrate the fatal effects of a sus¬ pension of this law of-our nature, the writer cites the case of a drover who went to sleep A PrenchmanVdog, like bis master, remains j ^^^ gy^t^j^es. This is proven by the different' on a winter's evening upon the platform ofa calm and unmoved under the most pressing invitations of the English tongue; yet the dog is not insensible to recognized signs ha has been accustomed to obey. An Arab horse, tanght lo regard the voice and the knee of bis rider, cannot readily be -controlled by bit aud rein, or by a langnage differing from tbat he has been taught to re¬ spect. Certaiu descriptions of birds imitate with great exactness the cries aud notes of others, while some are able to pronounce syllabic words, and appear to comprehend the peculiar significance of the mockery, tbe pantomime, or thu translation. In ari instance in which a hen was permit¬ ted to lay her eggs in a nest prepared in a family room, she hatched under constant in¬ spection; aud it was remarked-^be instant the chicks broke their shells, rejoicing tbeir mother with their talkative life, they com¬ prehended and obeyed her waruing voice. At her earliest note of alarm on the approach of a stranger, the liUle oues became silent, and at a'second (one concealed themselves be¬ neath her protecting feathers. If a hawk hovers over a farm-house, no matter what description of fowl first perceives the common enemy, an alarm note is com¬ municated, and proves, generally intelligible to every variety of poultry. Some fly for shelter while others prepare for a fight. Iu defence of their youug, the most gentle aud timid become brave, fierce, and vindictire. Upon certaiu occasions a false alarm id cre¬ ated by some other passing bird. As soon as this surprise is over the younger fowls plume themselves with an air of coquetry quite amusing, as they chatter over the incident, and their unnecessary fright. Certain notes of the voice, like figures of arithmetic, appear to be commonly under¬ stood, and are intelligible at once to every fowl, while it is indispensible for each tribe gradually to acquire the ordinary language of others. They do not, as n e say, instinctively apprehend. A common hen, in charge of a crop of young ducks is sometimes seen perched upon a rock or stump in a pond, or up to her knees in a running stream, with a frantic, but vaiu en¬ deavor to explain the dauger in which she supposes the ducklings to be, while her adopted little ones dive and paddle about in their natural element with an extacy of pleas¬ nre, strongly at variance with every argument she uses. By degrees hoth parties become reconciled from the inflnence of habit, in¬ creased Information and experience. They mutually langh and talk over the previous fancies of the elderly bird who has been brought up all her life entirely upou the land. Oue calm or boisterous signal note from a sentinel will alarm a flock of wild duckst turkeys, geese, crows, or black birds. A single cry of horror from acow explains to a whole herd there is blood on the ground, freah meat iu a smoke-house, or a green hide on tbe fence, while a peculiar snort from a horse will stampede a cavalcade. Guinea fowl's eggs are ofteu placed under a domestic hen, with some of her own pro¬ duction. When the young ones are hatched the guineas do not readily obey the voice of their foster parent Uke her own chicks, but are sure to learn her signals gradually by example of the others, wbo run wh'en she scratches the ground, and at once attend when she calls them to feed- It is curious to observe, at the same time, a disposition in the Guinea chicks to respect and listen to the peculiar languages and nat¬ ural address of grown up birds of their own kind, who occasionally interfere and attempt to entice them away, apparently abusing the character of their nurse. The little guineas alternately influenced by each, usually yield to the importunate demands ofthe .mpatient fester mother. In a mixed brood of guineas aud commou chicks, a mutual affectiou aud reliauce has been observed through after life. Under such circumstancea of early intercourse and education when a young rooster begins to crow and to fight, he is decidedly backed and assisted by the guinea fowls brought up with him from the same nest. They staud by aud cheer him on ; rush at his antagonist, and with shrill cries or idiomatic gesticulation exult at hia victorie.''. Curious svmpathies somelimes exist be¬ tween animals of distinct character.^, classes and races. An orphan chick who had lost its mother was dopted and nur-sed by a cat, whose kittens bad been prematurely drowned. They mutually restore 'ogether and comfort¬ ed one another with grateful affection.— When the bird grew up he was turned out of the house at night to roost ou a tree, while the oat was retained in doors to attend to other duties. The greetings on both sides were daily renewed with affectionate interest* each expressiug delight iu its own peculiar manner, each fondling the other. The cat rubbed ber fur against the rooster's legs, aud qnietly purred her good-morning, whilst the chicken gently peojced his ipelcome, accom¬ panied by a peculiar note. A cow has been known to desert her own kind to associate exclusively with a particu¬ lar sheep, who expressed a similar preference j for his Btranger. Horses and dogs ofton form friendships, and so do cats and dogs, some¬ times. The Southern Indians of America recognize domestic animals as reasonable creatures, and are very successful in their management of them. In driving hogs over the Andes a great de ai of ingenuity and patience are required, lo which, the Indians add very peculiar conver¬ sation. At the commencement of the pro¬ posed ascent, the animals find refreshing streams, from which they drink, then bathe, aad finidly lie down to wallow and to sleep. The Indiums always make a flre, smoke, cook snd take refreshment, but offer nona to their charge. The drivers, usually an Indian and and his wife, when they think the drove has sufficiently rested, move on in thia way. The woman holding a calabash containing grains of maize, mounts a pony bearing a sack filled with snoh provender. Sheadvan- cea in front, singing a dismal tune, snd sluk- ing the gourd (^ntaining the graiu, and at tlie same time caUing by name some favorite pig behind her. Thfl liimgry and petted hogs effect each sound causes to prevail in the con¬ duct of animals among each other. The special calls of a terrier dog, aware of the olosa concealment ofa rat, are as readily distinguished by otber dogs of that kiud as by men who notice their habits. Theacceuts aud note clearly vary if the terrier barks at a pig, a rabbit, a mau, a sheep, a cow, or other cattle. To those acquainted with thesa peculiari¬ ties it is not necessary to see who or what he is barking at. Attentive experience indicates at once wbat descriptiou of person or auimal he proclaims the approach of, by the accent and tone ofthe voice alone. A praotical fox-hunter owns a well trained houud, who alwaysybWouJs at the tail of his master's borse, when he takes the field while young, eager, inexperienced hounds examine the cover in advance, aud are some¬ times led astray by the scent of a rabbit, a squirrel, oppossum, wild turkey, orraccoou. The old houud seems perfectly iudifferent to their varied cries aud calls. But the moment auy oue dog ntters the decided, well-known peculiar note of "fox," the hitherto quiet hound is in earnest chase. He is thought to distinguish at once ihat special tone from every otherquita as readily as his master does. By a curiously arranged organization, tlie most simple notes of voice can be modulated or accentuated indefinitely. It is this characteristic which gives Harmony its charm and finish. Aided by signs and well established gestures, these sounds con¬ vey distinct emotions and intelligence, from and to what have been called mute or dumb animals. To their limited extent, the prin¬ ciples of action which rule and influence them may'prove the same with those which pro¬ duce the dialects of man, through distinct languages, quite as natural. In Spain large flocks of sheep are moved periodically, according to pasture and season. Sfany hundred lambs repose at once upon a hill side, while the ewes feed in their range. When a mother requires relief from the pressure of milk, she calls with peculiar into¬ nation of voice and listens for reply. An¬ swers are made by mauy hungry lambs, who perfectly understand the signal. Some strange ones run to her. She neglects, drives them, away, or avoids them. But the iustant the accordant voice of her own drowsy offspring meets her ear, she joyously advances to car¬ ess and feed it. At a distance, the voice alone is relied upon ; the decision is after¬ ward confirmed by other senses. Audrew Jackson, iu his youth, accompanied a party, some of whom wera European emi¬ grants, from South Carolina, to tbe new set tlemeuts on the Tennessee. In passing the Indian country, his practiced ear recognized cries like those of owls from different direc¬ tions. He qnietly roused up the camp. Some of the men, less experienced iu the woods, were annoyed by the interruption) aud expressed surprise that the General should be alarmed at the calls of night birds. The young woodsman calmly replied : "Oiuls do not answer one another in that way. The Indians thus approach and we mnst be pre¬ pared to prevent or repel an attack." Wild turkey shooters say they can distin¬ guish the natural cry of the hen, from tha artijicial call, nsed hy hunters, which often deceives the real bird, which hastily running up, is killed by "the Iyer in wait." Natural peculiarities iu men, similar to those of auimal instiuct, held in early ages to the contrivances and adoption of tbe same figures for language as arithmetical numbers, and for notes of music, all serving as conven- tioual conveniences, for distant countries and future intercomunications. The arrange¬ ments of our alphabetical signs, which ex¬ press sounds for distinct lauguage euables men to correspond with those only who bave received similar and equal instructions in the same language.

Thia praiseworthy "Sleep Delicious.,,—What person of mature years cau look ou a sleeping child, and not envy the unconscious luxnry of that undis¬ turbed repose, especially if it is one's own child It is noue other thau a pure delight to the parental beholder. A lady correspondent writes: "From utter exhaustion, I slept all night like au infant. How ineffably soothiug and refreshing waa that sleep, three nights siuce. This power of resting, even for one brief ntght, encour¬ aged me greatly. -1 feel even now, wasted as I am, if I could only have refreshing sleep— if I could rest—I could get well." The excellent writer was suffering from no apecially dangerous or critical malady; but from a general derangement of the whole nervous system. The iucident is recorded for the purpose of briuging to the reader's mind the duty of habitual thankfulness for any ability he may have to go to bed, to fall asleep within ten minutes, and know nothing more until the gray morning breaks—a deep and warm gratitude shonld wellup coustanly from a loving heart to the Giver of all Good for the nnfelt bliss of a whole night's sleep. Some persons are put to sleep by haviug the soles of the feet rubbed gently with a soft, bare hand, wh^n opiates mado wild. We know of uo belter plan for securing good sleep to persous not apecially invalids than to observe the following: ' 1. Take a very light supper, not later than six P. M. 2.. Heat the bare feet before a fire, forthe laat fifteen minutes before bed-time. 3. Occnpy a large room", with a window or door partly open, aud the fire-place unclosed. 4. Go to bed at a regular hour. 5. Get np the moment of waking next morning, at whatever time that may be. 6. Do not on any • account sleep a moment in the day time. The reault of these observances will be, in all cases where there is not a serious disease of body or mind, that the person will, in a few days, go to sleep promptly, and wake the very moment that nature has had all the repose ueeded.—''HalPs Journal •What ia the reasou, said one Irishman lime-kiln with one leg resting npon the stones which had been i)iled up to burn during the night. That which was a gentle warmth when he lay down became a consuming fire before ha rose up. His foot was burnt off above the aukle, and when roused in^the moruing he pnt his stump to tbe grouud uuconuious of his misfortune, and the extremity crumbled iuto fragments. Whether he had been lulled into torpor by the carbonic acid driven off from the limestoue, or whatever else may have caused his insensibility, he felt no pain aud through this exemption from the lot of humanity expired a fortnight afterward in Bristol hospital. A laughable although not quite authentic corrobe ration of the case of the poor drover is furnished by the story told of a party of Ethiop's sons who, while sleep, ing with their feet clustered before a hot fire, were aroused by this startling exclamation of one of their number : *'WJaew ! whose heel's dat burning? Golly ! it's dis nigger's !" Sam¬ bo's sense of smell was stronger thau the sease of pain in his buruing pedal, and that useful member w-as saved by it. Witbout pain says the writer in the Quar- ^'terly, in the impetuosity of youth we shonld strike blows that wonld crush our hands, and break our arms ; we would take leaps that would discolate our limbs; and no longer taught by fatigue»that the muscles needed repose, we sbould contiuue our sports aud our walking tours till we h.id worn out the liriug tissue with the same nucousciouneaa that we now wear out our coats and shoes." The skin is the advanced guard througii which every injury to the other parts must make ils way. Forming our notions of pain, from what we feel at the surface, we imbibe the idea that the deeper the wound thegreat- er the suffering, but this is contrary to the fact. Tha snrgeon who uses the kuife in¬ foruis the patient that the worst is over when the skin is passed—severing that tis¬ sue being a mucli more painful operation thau cutting into the flesh, which is compar¬ atively insensible. The tenderness of the "skin, says Sir Charles Bell, affords a more effectual defence than if onr bodies were clothed with the hide of a rhinoceros." Besides the protection which it affords against occasional dangers, the skin acts aa a thermometer, to tell us whether the tem- , peratnre is suited to our organization, and warns us to shun extremes of heat or cold. It is the skin, also, which prompts the in" stiuctive restlessness that preserves the en¬ tire frame frotn decay. Unless we frequently changed the position ofthe body the circula¬ tion would become impeded, and disease produced. We canuot stand, sit or lie Itng in oue position, without being reminded by the sensations produced on our skin that the position must be ,shifted, else the fiow of hlood will be stopped aud paralysis ensue. In investigating the sensibility of differeut parts of the body to pain, experiments have shown that the tendons of the muscles, the ligaments which hold together the joints, the cartilages which act as a pad to the extremi¬ ties of the bones where they work npon oue another, feel neither cuts or burns. But if they are subjected to stretching, laceration or concussion, they raise the warning voice ofpaiu. Tlie reasou is obvious. The skin is the fence to the first class of evils, but its necessary suppleness is too gre-it to be a cheok upou the movemeuts which affect the carti¬ lages, ligaments aud tendons. Tbese are consequently made impatient of concussion, of tearing, and of-;tretching, that we might not leap from heights, ruu with violence, or twist our joints with a force iuconsiatent with the strength of the human fabric. The singular contrivaute which prevents our being choked while eating is thus noticed in the Quarterly: "Paley applauds the contrivance by which everything we eat and driak is madeto glide ou its road to the gullet, over the entrance to tbe wind-pipe without falling into it. A little moveable Ud, the epiglottis, which is Ufted up when we breathe, is pressed down upon the chink of the air passage by the weight of the food and the action of the muscles in swallowing it. Neither solids nor liquids, iu short, cau pass without shot¬ ting dowu the trap-door as they proceed. But tbis is only a part of the safe-guard. The slit at the top ofthe windpipe, which never closes entirely while we breathe, is endued with au acute sensibility to the slightest par¬ ticle of matter. The least thing whiuh touch¬ es the margin of the aperatnra causes its sides to come firmly together, .and tbe intruding body is stopped at the inlet. It is stopped, but, unless removed, must drop at the next inspiration into the lungs. To effect its ex¬ pulsion, the sensibility of the rim at the top of the windpipe actually puts into vehement action a whole olass of mnacles placed lower than its bottom, and which, compressing the chest over which they are distributed, drives out the air witha force that sweeps the offen¬ ding substances before it. The convulsive conghinga which arises when we are choked, is the energetic effort, of nature for our re. leif wheu anytbiug chances to have evaded the protective epiglottis. Yet this property, to which we are constantly owing our Uvea, is confined to a single spot iu our throats." It is a cnrious fact that the heart, whichjis so susceptible to tbe emotions of the mind, as pleasure, grief, &c., and to wound which, will instantly terminate life, is insensible to the touch. The famous Dr. Harvey exami¬ ned a nobleman of the Montgomerey family who, in consequence of an abcess, had a fis¬ tulous opening into the chest, throngh whicb the heart could he seen and handled. The great physlolpgist was astonished to find it insensible. The youug mau felt no sensa¬ tions when his heart was touched. Shielded 1 from physical violence by an outwork of bones, it is not invested with sensations which could have contributed nothing.to ita preservation. Phenomena fully as extraor- atrange to say, it is itaelf insensible to the wonnds wbich are torture to the akin, and which wounds the brain alone enables us to feel. *Itisas iuaeusible,' aays Sir Chariea Bell, 'as the leather of our shoe, and a piece may be cut off without interrupting the pa¬ tient in the aentenca that he is uttering,— Becanae the bone which envelopea it ia its pro¬ tection against injuries from wlthont, it has no perception of them when directed againat ita owu fabric, though it is at the aame time the aole sonrce of the pain whioh, those inju¬ ries inflict upon the other portiona of the syatem. But the skull is no defenae against the effecta of intemperance, or a vitiated at- moaphere, or too great mental toil. To theae consequently the aame brain, which has been created insensible to the cut of the kuife, is rendered fully alive, and giddiness, head¬ aches and apoplectic oppresaion give ample notice to ua to stop the evil, unless we ure prepared to pay the penalty. Since neither pain oan be felt, nor any. oth¬ er sense cau be exercised except through the medinm of the nerves, it is to theee we mnst trace the diversified impression of which the body is susceptible. It is here that Sir Charles Bell mada the beautiful discovery which entitles him to he ranked among the greatest physiologists the world haa produced. Pairs of nerves are given off from the apinal cord at short intervals along its entire length. Ramifying througout the body, they are the medinm of communication between the va¬ rious textures and the spine, and, by meana of the spine, with the brain. Eaoh nerve has two roots, which issue separately from the aide of the spinal cord, but almost immedi¬ ately coalesce and ruu together like a single cylinder. Sir Charles Bell detected the lead¬ ing fact, which has thrown such a flood of light upon tha nervous system, that one of these roots consisted exclusively of sensitive fibres, and its fellow entirely of fibres of mo¬ tiou. Irritate the root which emerges near¬ est to the back of the cord, aud the suffering ia iutense. Irritate the root wiiich comes out towards the front of the cord, and no pain whatever is felt, but irrepressible mus¬ cular movements are provoked. Again, di¬ vide the firat, which is called the posterior root, and tbe sensibility of the parts which it aupplies is destroyed, while the power of mo¬ tion remains complete. Divide the second or anterior root, and there is an end to motion in the parts to which its fibres lead, while the sensation continues as acute as ever.— The two sorts of'fibres which run together for a large portion of their length in a single oord, and whicb are apparently identical in structure, hava yet offices as diatiuot as see¬ ing and hearing, and which can be no more interchanged than we can hear with the eye or see with the ear." The object of the sense of pain is illustra¬ ted by all our organs of sense. The tongue judges of the temperature and taste of food, thus enabling us to reject what ia not proper to be taken into the stomach ; the olfactory nerves warn us of noisome and pestilential exhalations. Bad food aud noxious odors occasion bodily suffering just as surely as flesh wounds. Each sens» has it appropriate sphere, and isjandowed with a keen percep¬ tion of peculiar dangers. his own in that exclusive aenae which makes tion. If you cannot reaaon and persuade a him regardleaa of he feelings and enjoyment man into the truth, never attempt to force of his playmates.

To be happy at home is tbe ultimate resnlt of all ambition—the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution. It is indeed at home that every man must be known by those who would make a juat estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and era- broidery are alike occaaioual, and the mind la often dresaed for ahow iu painted honor and fictitious benevolence. The less yott leave your childreu when yoa die, the more they will have twenty years afterwards. Wealth inherited should be the incentive to exertion. Inatead of that, "it is the title-deed to sloth." The only money that does a man good is what he earns him¬ self, A ready-made fortune, like ready- made clothes, aeldom fita the mau whocomea in posaeasion. Ambition, atimulatedby hope aud a half filled puree, has a power that will triumph over all difficulties, begiuning with the rich man'a contumely, aud leaving off with tbe envious man'a malice. The Family op Temperance.—Temperauce is the father of health, cheerfulness, and old age. Drunkenness has so large a family that wa cannot remember the names of one-half of them. However, disease, debt, dishonor, destruction,.and death, are among tbem— not the most hopeful houaehold in the world t Habty Jddgmest.—Be not hasty in draw¬ ing conclusions to the prejudice of another, before you form your opinion. Be perfectly satisfied ^yith the correctut-ss of your judg¬ ment. How many have heedlessly infused a drop of bitterness in the cup of one already ' overflowing with grief. plaything, while his young visitor ia allowed only the' poor privilege of looking on, and finally, perhapa, seas the toys all laid away iu a box or drawer, that no other hand may tonch them! It is a moat effectual way of teaching a child to be selfish. He learna that hia own gratification is paramount to that of every othar child, while no thought at all is given to making another child happy. How much more pleasing tbe sight ofa child who ia ready to share the " good time" with a companion, who cheerfully allows another to enjoy the toys with himaelf I How much more promising it is, too I Let him be taught to handle them with cara himself, and coun¬ sel his playmates to do the same; but never let him inaist on haviag all the aport to him¬ self, for this is selfish It is not well to allow such carelessness and auoh destruction of playthings ae we sometimes see, but eveu this is to be preferred to that aelfiah spirit which haa no deaire or purpose to administer to another's comfort. For one, we prefer to see toys dbshed to fragments, than that their use shonld hinder a kiud, generous spirit, whioh is one of the choicest and grandest de¬ velopments of humanity. The second way of cultivating selfishness in children is by teaching economy. Economy is a cardinal virtue, and wo can scarcely say too much iu its favor, where it is practised from proper motives. But some children ara taught to save their pennies without any reference to a proper use of them, in the way of benevolence. The Scriptures enjoin econ¬ omy for the sake of having more meana with which to do good. This is cultivating a be¬ nevolent spirit at the aame time that econom¬ ical habita ara formed. Such should be the instruction of the young. A wasteful, spend¬ thrift diaposition is extremely dangerous, though it is not half so coutemptibla as a penurious, selfish spirit. Tlierefore, children shonld learn to save their pennies, not so much for the sake of haviug 39 many dollars, by-and-bye, but iu orderto Roasesa tbe means pf blessing others. If they learn to save with no such purpose, they become avaricious and grasping. They see nothing in money to value but its amount- Their object ia to hoard. A little tin bank, with an opening for deposits but not for discounts, just suits their disposition. From year to year they wax worse and worse, grow tighter and tight¬ er, and when they become men and women, they recognize no duty to their sufferiug fel¬ lows, and hug their dollars with the grasp of miaers. One reason why, after so much preaching and writiug upon the subject, be¬ nevolence has uot attained to a higher stan¬ dard among adults is, because they were taught in childhood to get all they eould, and keep all they conld get. Let our children oonttnue to be taught in this way, and giving from principle will be as infrequent twenty years hence as uow. Or, if children use their pennies, but spend them only for confection ary or toys to gratify themselves, their case is not more flattering. For this is employing money for self-pleasure only, just as the gay young belle dashes out in silks aud plumes, and satiates her relish for balls audjiarties. The child gratifies his solfish feelings with sugar-stick and wooden carts, while the fash¬ ionable belle gratifies hers on a'grauder scale amid scenes of worldly pleasure—that is all the difference. The third way of teachingselfishness is, by bestowing too mnch attention upou children when they are very small. The general rule in some families is, that the older sons and daughters mnst yield to please the youngest. The baby must be gratified at any rate. If he wanta Nellie's doll or Billy'a ball, he must have it. It does no good for either Nellie or Billy to set up a plea on their own behalf, for " baby is the youngest, and mnst bo pleased." By the time he is three years old, he will uot take " no" for an answer. He has learued that self, although iu a baby-body, is number one, and must be regarded before others. So ha moves about, if not a genuine " lord of cre¬ ation," yet really lord of the family. Many a three-year-old controls tbe entire house¬ hold, father, mother, brothers, sisters, all.— Every member runs at his bidding, and bis " little wish" carries the day against all oth¬ ers. Is it strange that he becomes selfish? Doubtless many selfish meu and women were made so before they were three years of age. —r^Happy Home. to cry ont, upon seeing it, " How capitally it does hit Charles William Kenry Noodle," or "Icn't it suoh a nice fit for that dawdling Mushy Boah ?" 0 no, we utterly disclaim any auch intentiou, we only tbiuk it won't hurt some young men and others, to read it and inwardly digest it, that'a all.—Ed. A genius is usually understood to be a creature of such rare facility of miud that he can do any thing without labor. According to the popular notion, ha learna withont study, and knows withont learning. He is eloquent without preparation, exact without calculation, aud profound withont reflection. While ordinary men toil for knowledge by reading, by comparison, and by minute re¬ search, a genius is supposed to recive it as a mind receives dreams. His mind is like a vast cathedral; through wbose colored win of debt. West Lampeter, as aoon found herself in this condition, appointed eight mouths of school aud a salary of $30 per month. We are looking tbis year for others to follow her example. Most of tbe houses erected during the paat year manifest a liberal and enlightened policy on the part of Directors. There is, I believe, but one miserable exception to this remark. The house to which we refer, is built in the midat of a craggy, rocky ledge, with scarce a foot of ground visible, floor low, joists scarce seven feet high, walls as wet wheu I visited it aa wet blauketa.

ScuooL Houses-—According to tbe instruc¬ tions received from the State Departmeut, during my visitation last year, I made a record of tlie School honses—size—material —coudition, &g., and from these data, graded them into three classes. No. 1 being the beat. No. 2 middling, and No. 3 unfit for use. In the first class we placed all houses of suf¬ ficieut size—built substantially aud durably and containing comfortable furniture within. In the second claaa we placed those that were rather small, or built on the aavlugplan too much, or in need of repair or internal re¬ modelling, or defective iu aome essential points, or badly furnished inaide, &c. Of course, we caunot detail all the particulars upon which our judgment was based, but the above are the principle. In the third class are put thoae that are unseaworthy iu every point—mere shells—uot fit for tho sojourn of children, and some not even fit for sheep tables. Of course, iu making out the tabubir statement below, we often fouud ourselves perplexed. Houses there are of almost in¬ finite variety, and sometimes it was difficult to determine on which side of our imaginary line a given house stood. Some houaea not widely difl'erent aro placed, for this cause, in diflerent classes. Generally, however, it will be found that we have strong y incliued to the side of leniency, and perhapa erred in thia direction. About seveuteen new houses have been erected during the past year One half of these are included in the tables; of the others, no record has yet been made.— With, these explanatory remarks, it is hoped thd subjoined statistics will be intelligible to all: DISTKICT5 FuUon LitUe Britain..

The Love of Nature—It is strange to ob- seive the callousness of some meu before whom all the glories of heaven and earth paas in daily succession, witliout touching their heart, elevating their fancy, or leaving any dnrable remembrance, even of those who pretend to senaibility. How many are there to whom thi' lustre of the rising or set¬ ting sun, the sparkling concave of the mid¬ night sky, the mountain forest, tossing and roariug to the storm, or warbling with all the melodies of a summer evening; the sweet interchange of hill and dale, shade and sun¬ shine, grove, lawn and water which an exten¬ sive landscape offers to the vjew; the scene¬ ry of the ocean, so lovely, so majestic, and so tremendous, and the mauy pleasinK varle ties of the auimal and vegetable kingdom, could never afford so much real satisfaction as tlie steams and noise of a ball-room, the insipid fiddling aud squeaking of an opera, or the vexations and wrangling of a card-table! But aome minds there are of a difi'erent make who, even in the early part of life, receive from the contemplation of nature a species of delight, which they would hardly exchanee for any other; and who, as avarice and am¬ bition are not the infirmities of that period, would, with equal sincerity and rapture, ex¬ claim,— to another, that you and yonr wife are al* I dent upon the nerves, but aven the nervea do ways disagreeing ? « Because," replied Pat' I not givb rise to feeling, unless they are in "we are both of one mind—ahe wants to be ' connection with the brain. The nervona master, and so do I." "Regardlestof wriDglug or breaking a heart. Already to sorrow resigned!" ^^A witness in an Irish Court of Juatice, stated that he was suddenly roused from his slumbers by a hlow on his head. "And now did you find yoaraelfr" asked counsel.— chord which, in familiar language, ia oaUed l<*Fa8taaleep," replied the witness. " 1 cafe not fortune wbat you me deny ; You cannol rob me of free nature'o grace. You canoot Bhnt tte windows of the Bky, _ Through which Aurora ahowa her brightaning face; You cannot bar my constftnt feet to trace The wooda and laivne by living stream at ave." Such minds have alwaya in them the seeda of true taste, and frequently of imitative ge¬ nius. To a mind thus disposed uo part of creation ia indifferent. Iu the crowded city and howling wilderness, in the cultivated province and solitary isle, in the flowing lawn aod craggy mountain, in the murmur of tbe rivulet and in the uproar of the ocean, in the radiance of summer and gloom of winter, in the thunder of heaven and in the whisper of tho breeze, he still finds something to rouse or to soothe hia imagination, to draw forth hia affections or to employ hia understanding. And from every mental energy that ia not at¬ tended with pain, and even from some of those that are, as moderate terror and pity, a sound miud derives satisfaotiou : exercise being equally necessary to the body and aoul, and to both equally productive of health aud pleasure. This happy aensibility to the beauties of nature ahould be cherished in yonng persons. It engages them to contemplate the Creator in his wouderfnl works ; it purifies and har¬ monizes the aoul, aud preparea it for moral aud intellectual discipline; it aupplies a never-failing aonrce of amuaement; it con¬ tributes even to bodily health; and as a strict analogy subsists between material and moral beauty, it leads tfae heart by an easy transi¬ tion from the one to the other, and this re¬ commends nature for its transcendent loveli- neaa, and makes vice appear the object of contempt and abomination.—Beaiiie^ From the above it would appear that there are 191 School houses iu this county that subserve the purpose for which they were bnill, in all essential points. Most, perhaps all of theae, are built of brick or stoue, aud, without accident, will last for years. "We fiud also, that there are 161 houses that are defective and in part utifit for use. Mauy of this number alao are of brick, but were built in the days cf contracted ideaa. Their prin¬ cipal characteristics are small dimensions, low ceilings, high, small windows, and low doora. It will also be remarked that there are 47 pena, in which 2500 children are annually confined, in this couuty. These houses are but little better than nurseries of disease and premature death. Iu wet weather some of them hare in placea several inches of water on the floor. In the cold season the windows and walls and flooring all preaent openings of the most formidable kind, for the ingress of wind and snow. Mauy of these, it is true, are not owned by tho Districts, ouly rented, or used without charge. But this is uo ex¬ cuse. Directora have uo right to rent atablea for school houses, or to use pig pens, eveu if they can get them gratia. "We have always wondered at one strange incongruity presented in mauy parta of our county. Perhaps no couuty in the United States cau boast ofao many fine, comfortable and anbstautial residences—large barna and complete ont-buildings, as our own ; the iu¬ terior of these will compare favorably with the exterior, aud comforta aud convenieucea have giveu placo to luxuries iu mauy homes. No means are spared to complete tin- machi¬ nery of the farm or the facilities of the field operations- Accommodations for stock are carefully made and every care taken to pre¬ vent accident and secure growth. No portion of tbe atock of a farm suffers the least neg¬ lect. No stranger traveling through our couuty can .fail to observe the perfection at¬ tained in these respects. A p-rtinent in¬ quiry would be, "why this care—this toil, thia daily wearineaa ?" The natnral reply would be, "for my children"—good enough and a worthy end for which to labor; but if we examine moro closely we sball find the motive of action ia not always so uuselfiah. Whilat houaea and barns are built with lav¬ ish expenditure, a little contribution in the shape of school tax, for the building of a house for the children, calls forth the bitterest com¬ plaints. One man in thia couuty expended thonsanda of dollara to build a baru. The Problems—Answers and Solutions.

SoLOTiox OF PnoitLEM G.—The j respective times before the children become 21 is 4, 10 and 12 years. The intereat of one dollar for the reapfc- tive times is 20, 50 aud 6*0 cents. ' Hence 1-5, i and 3 5 of the priocipal now received is equal to the respective gain or in terest of the three sons at the age of 21. Tben G-5, 3-2 and S-5 of the principal novt received equals respectively the sum each receives at the-age of 21. If 6-5 of tbe principal now received by the oldest (or to be reserved for him) equals once what he received wheu 21, then 1-5 of what he now receives is equal to 1-G of what he receives wheu 21. And 5 6 which is what hp now receiveais equal to 5-6 of what he re¬ ceives when 21. Aud by a similar process of reasonin:; we find that 2-3 and 5-8 of what they receive when 21 equals wbfit they now aeceive—hence 5-6, 2*3 and 5 S of what they respectively receive when 21, equals what they now receive which is 515,100: Therefore 5-6 plus 2-3 plus 5-S or 20-24 plus 16 24 plus 15 24=^'51-24=5,100:1-24=«100:24 24=^2,400 each receives wheu 21. 20 24=2,000 the oldeat now receives. 16-24=^1,600 " next " 15-24==1,500 « youngest « " I.

EmotionB of cantion, affection and fear; of joy, gratitude and grief, are disclosed by simple tones of voice, or Ly impressive gestures, to signalize feelings, stricily com- probended and often answered. Insects and birds, flsh, and beasts, thns express them¬ selves—in distinct languages, signed, spoken and sung, seen, beard and fuU.

ttou of our bodies i indeed their preservation for any length of time would be impossible. Were we not possesed of an acute sense of pain, our feet might be crushed, onr hands lopped off, or any other member of the body destroyed, inasmuch as we shonld have no cognizance of any accident that might happen to tbem except throogh the medinm of the eyes, which could only warn ns of danger to a limited extent, because tbey can look in but out* direction at a time, and danger comes from all directions.
The utility of tbe sense of physical pain is illustrated iu a most intep*»sting manner by the investigations and collations of science, of which we were recently reminded by read¬ ing an article on "T^e Sense of Pain in Man and Animals," in the London Quarterly Re¬ view. To illustrate the fatal effects of a sus¬ pension of this law of-our nature, the writer cites the case of a drover who went to sleep
A PrenchmanVdog, like bis master, remains j ^^^ gy^t^j^es. This is proven by the different' on a winter's evening upon the platform ofa

An Arab horse, tanght lo regard the voice and the knee of bis rider, cannot readily be -controlled by bit aud rein, or by a langnage differing from tbat he has been taught to re¬ spect. Certaiu descriptions of birds imitate with great exactness the cries aud notes of others, while some are able to pronounce syllabic words, and appear to comprehend the peculiar significance of the mockery, tbe pantomime, or thu translation.
In ari instance in which a hen was permit¬ ted to lay her eggs in a nest prepared in a family room, she hatched under constant in¬ spection; aud it was remarked-^be instant the chicks broke their shells, rejoicing tbeir mother with their talkative life, they com¬ prehended and obeyed her waruing voice. At her earliest note of alarm on the approach of a stranger, the liUle oues became silent, and at a'second (one concealed themselves be¬ neath her protecting feathers.
If a hawk hovers over a farm-house, no matter what description of fowl first perceives the common enemy, an alarm note is com¬ municated, and proves, generally intelligible to every variety of poultry. Some fly for shelter while others prepare for a fight. Iu defence of their youug, the most gentle aud timid become brave, fierce, and vindictire.
Upon certaiu occasions a false alarm id cre¬ ated by some other passing bird. As soon as this surprise is over the younger fowls plume themselves with an air of coquetry quite amusing, as they chatter over the incident, and their unnecessary fright.
Certain notes of the voice, like figures of arithmetic, appear to be commonly under¬ stood, and are intelligible at once to every fowl, while it is indispensible for each tribe gradually to acquire the ordinary language of others. They do not, as n e say, instinctively apprehend.
A common hen, in charge of a crop of young ducks is sometimes seen perched upon a rock or stump in a pond, or up to her knees in a running stream, with a frantic, but vaiu en¬ deavor to explain the dauger in which she supposes the ducklings to be, while her adopted little ones dive and paddle about in their natural element with an extacy of pleas¬ nre, strongly at variance with every argument she uses. By degrees hoth parties become reconciled from the inflnence of habit, in¬ creased Information and experience. They mutually langh and talk over the previous fancies of the elderly bird who has been brought up all her life entirely upou the land. Oue calm or boisterous signal note from a sentinel will alarm a flock of wild duckst turkeys, geese, crows, or black birds. A single cry of horror from acow explains to a whole herd there is blood on the ground, freah meat iu a smoke-house, or a green hide on tbe fence, while a peculiar snort from a horse will stampede a cavalcade.
Guinea fowl's eggs are ofteu placed under a domestic hen, with some of her own pro¬ duction. When the young ones are hatched the guineas do not readily obey the voice of their foster parent Uke her own chicks, but are sure to learn her signals gradually by example of the others, wbo run wh'en she scratches the ground, and at once attend when she calls them to feed- It is curious to observe, at the same time, a disposition in the Guinea chicks to respect and listen to the peculiar languages and nat¬ ural address of grown up birds of their own kind, who occasionally interfere and attempt to entice them away, apparently abusing the character of their nurse. The little guineas alternately influenced by each, usually yield to the importunate demands ofthe .mpatient fester mother.
In a mixed brood of guineas aud commou chicks, a mutual affectiou aud reliauce has been observed through after life. Under such circumstancea of early intercourse and education when a young rooster begins to crow and to fight, he is decidedly backed and assisted by the guinea fowls brought up with him from the same nest. They staud by aud cheer him on ; rush at his antagonist, and with shrill cries or idiomatic gesticulation exult at hia victorie.''.
Curious svmpathies somelimes exist be¬ tween animals of distinct character.^, classes and races. An orphan chick who had lost its mother was dopted and nur-sed by a cat, whose kittens bad been prematurely drowned. They mutually restore 'ogether and comfort¬ ed one another with grateful affection.— When the bird grew up he was turned out of the house at night to roost ou a tree, while the oat was retained in doors to attend to other duties. The greetings on both sides were daily renewed with affectionate interest* each expressiug delight iu its own peculiar manner, each fondling the other. The cat rubbed ber fur against the rooster's legs, aud qnietly purred her good-morning, whilst the chicken gently peojced his ipelcome, accom¬ panied by a peculiar note.
A cow has been known to desert her own kind to associate exclusively with a particu¬ lar sheep, who expressed a similar preference j for his Btranger. Horses and dogs ofton form friendships, and so do cats and dogs, some¬ times.
The Southern Indians of America recognize domestic animals as reasonable creatures, and are very successful in their management of them.
In driving hogs over the Andes a great de ai of ingenuity and patience are required, lo which, the Indians add very peculiar conver¬ sation. At the commencement of the pro¬ posed ascent, the animals find refreshing streams, from which they drink, then bathe, aad finidly lie down to wallow and to sleep. The Indiums always make a flre, smoke, cook snd take refreshment, but offer nona to their charge. The drivers, usually an Indian and and his wife, when they think the drove has sufficiently rested, move on in thia way. The woman holding a calabash containing grains of maize, mounts a pony bearing a sack filled with snoh provender.

The special calls of a terrier dog, aware of the olosa concealment ofa rat, are as readily distinguished by otber dogs of that kiud as by men who notice their habits. Theacceuts aud note clearly vary if the terrier barks at a pig, a rabbit, a mau, a sheep, a cow, or other cattle.
To those acquainted with thesa peculiari¬ ties it is not necessary to see who or what he is barking at. Attentive experience indicates at once wbat descriptiou of person or auimal he proclaims the approach of, by the accent and tone ofthe voice alone.
A praotical fox-hunter owns a well trained houud, who alwaysybWouJs at the tail of his master's borse, when he takes the field while young, eager, inexperienced hounds examine the cover in advance, aud are some¬ times led astray by the scent of a rabbit, a squirrel, oppossum, wild turkey, orraccoou. The old houud seems perfectly iudifferent to their varied cries aud calls. But the moment auy oue dog ntters the decided, well-known peculiar note of "fox," the hitherto quiet hound is in earnest chase.
He is thought to distinguish at once ihat special tone from every otherquita as readily as his master does. By a curiously arranged organization, tlie most simple notes of voice can be modulated or accentuated indefinitely. It is this characteristic which gives Harmony its charm and finish. Aided by signs and well established gestures, these sounds con¬ vey distinct emotions and intelligence, from and to what have been called mute or dumb animals. To their limited extent, the prin¬ ciples of action which rule and influence them may'prove the same with those which pro¬ duce the dialects of man, through distinct languages, quite as natural.
In Spain large flocks of sheep are moved periodically, according to pasture and season. Sfany hundred lambs repose at once upon a hill side, while the ewes feed in their range. When a mother requires relief from the pressure of milk, she calls with peculiar into¬ nation of voice and listens for reply. An¬ swers are made by mauy hungry lambs, who perfectly understand the signal. Some strange ones run to her. She neglects, drives them, away, or avoids them. But the iustant the accordant voice of her own drowsy offspring meets her ear, she joyously advances to car¬ ess and feed it. At a distance, the voice alone is relied upon ; the decision is after¬ ward confirmed by other senses.
Audrew Jackson, iu his youth, accompanied a party, some of whom wera European emi¬ grants, from South Carolina, to tbe new set tlemeuts on the Tennessee. In passing the Indian country, his practiced ear recognized cries like those of owls from different direc¬ tions. He qnietly roused up the camp. Some of the men, less experienced iu the woods, were annoyed by the interruption) aud expressed surprise that the General should be alarmed at the calls of night birds. The young woodsman calmly replied : "Oiuls do not answer one another in that way. The Indians thus approach and we mnst be pre¬ pared to prevent or repel an attack."
Wild turkey shooters say they can distin¬ guish the natural cry of the hen, from tha artijicial call, nsed hy hunters, which often deceives the real bird, which hastily running up, is killed by "the Iyer in wait."
Natural peculiarities iu men, similar to those of auimal instiuct, held in early ages to the contrivances and adoption of tbe same figures for language as arithmetical numbers, and for notes of music, all serving as conven- tioual conveniences, for distant countries and future intercomunications.

The excellent writer was suffering from no apecially dangerous or critical malady; but from a general derangement of the whole nervous system. The iucident is recorded for the purpose of briuging to the reader's mind the duty of habitual thankfulness for any ability he may have to go to bed, to fall asleep within ten minutes, and know nothing more until the gray morning breaks—a deep and warm gratitude shonld wellup coustanly from a loving heart to the Giver of all Good for the nnfelt bliss of a whole night's sleep. Some persons are put to sleep by haviug the soles of the feet rubbed gently with a soft, bare hand, wh^n opiates mado wild.
We know of uo belter plan for securing
good sleep to persous not apecially invalids
than to observe the following: '
1. Take a very light supper, not later than
six P. M.
2.. Heat the bare feet before a fire, forthe laat fifteen minutes before bed-time.
3. Occnpy a large room", with a window or door partly open, aud the fire-place unclosed.
4. Go to bed at a regular hour.
5. Get np the moment of waking next morning, at whatever time that may be.
6. Do not on any • account sleep a moment in the day time.
The reault of these observances will be, in all cases where there is not a serious disease of body or mind, that the person will, in a few days, go to sleep promptly, and wake the very moment that nature has had all the repose ueeded.—''HalPs Journal
•What ia the reasou, said one Irishman
lime-kiln with one leg resting npon the stones which had been i)iled up to burn during the night. That which was a gentle warmth when he lay down became a consuming fire before ha rose up. His foot was burnt off above the aukle, and when roused in^the moruing he pnt his stump to tbe grouud uuconuious of his misfortune, and the extremity crumbled iuto fragments. Whether he had been lulled into torpor by the carbonic acid driven off from the limestoue, or whatever else may have caused his insensibility, he felt no pain aud through this exemption from the lot of humanity expired a fortnight afterward in Bristol hospital. A laughable although not quite authentic corrobe ration of the case of the poor drover is furnished by the story told of a party of Ethiop's sons who, while sleep, ing with their feet clustered before a hot fire, were aroused by this startling exclamation of one of their number : *'WJaew ! whose heel's dat burning? Golly ! it's dis nigger's !" Sam¬ bo's sense of smell was stronger thau the sease of pain in his buruing pedal, and that useful member w-as saved by it.
Witbout pain says the writer in the Quar- ^'terly, in the impetuosity of youth we shonld strike blows that wonld crush our hands, and break our arms ; we would take leaps that would discolate our limbs; and no longer taught by fatigue»that the muscles needed repose, we sbould contiuue our sports aud our walking tours till we h.id worn out the liriug tissue with the same nucousciouneaa that we now wear out our coats and shoes."
The skin is the advanced guard througii which every injury to the other parts must make ils way. Forming our notions of pain, from what we feel at the surface, we imbibe the idea that the deeper the wound thegreat- er the suffering, but this is contrary to the fact. Tha snrgeon who uses the kuife in¬ foruis the patient that the worst is over when the skin is passed—severing that tis¬ sue being a mucli more painful operation thau cutting into the flesh, which is compar¬ atively insensible. The tenderness of the "skin, says Sir Charles Bell, affords a more effectual defence than if onr bodies were clothed with the hide of a rhinoceros."
Besides the protection which it affords against occasional dangers, the skin acts aa a thermometer, to tell us whether the tem- , peratnre is suited to our organization, and warns us to shun extremes of heat or cold. It is the skin, also, which prompts the in" stiuctive restlessness that preserves the en¬ tire frame frotn decay. Unless we frequently changed the position ofthe body the circula¬ tion would become impeded, and disease produced. We canuot stand, sit or lie Itng in oue position, without being reminded by the sensations produced on our skin that the position must be ,shifted, else the fiow of hlood will be stopped aud paralysis ensue.
In investigating the sensibility of differeut parts of the body to pain, experiments have shown that the tendons of the muscles, the ligaments which hold together the joints, the cartilages which act as a pad to the extremi¬ ties of the bones where they work npon oue another, feel neither cuts or burns. But if they are subjected to stretching, laceration or concussion, they raise the warning voice ofpaiu. Tlie reasou is obvious. The skin is the fence to the first class of evils, but its necessary suppleness is too gre-it to be a cheok upou the movemeuts which affect the carti¬ lages, ligaments aud tendons. Tbese are consequently made impatient of concussion, of tearing, and of-;tretching, that we might not leap from heights, ruu with violence, or twist our joints with a force iuconsiatent with the strength of the human fabric. The singular contrivaute which prevents our being choked while eating is thus noticed in the Quarterly:
"Paley applauds the contrivance by which everything we eat and driak is madeto glide ou its road to the gullet, over the entrance to tbe wind-pipe without falling into it. A little moveable Ud, the epiglottis, which is Ufted up when we breathe, is pressed down upon the chink of the air passage by the weight of the food and the action of the muscles in swallowing it. Neither solids nor liquids, iu short, cau pass without shot¬ ting dowu the trap-door as they proceed. But tbis is only a part of the safe-guard. The slit at the top ofthe windpipe, which never closes entirely while we breathe, is endued with au acute sensibility to the slightest par¬ ticle of matter. The least thing whiuh touch¬ es the margin of the aperatnra causes its sides to come firmly together, .and tbe intruding body is stopped at the inlet. It is stopped, but, unless removed, must drop at the next inspiration into the lungs. To effect its ex¬ pulsion, the sensibility of the rim at the top of the windpipe actually puts into vehement action a whole olass of mnacles placed lower than its bottom, and which, compressing the chest over which they are distributed, drives out the air witha force that sweeps the offen¬ ding substances before it. The convulsive conghinga which arises when we are choked, is the energetic effort, of nature for our re. leif wheu anytbiug chances to have evaded the protective epiglottis. Yet this property, to which we are constantly owing our Uvea, is confined to a single spot iu our throats."
It is a cnrious fact that the heart, whichjis so susceptible to tbe emotions of the mind, as pleasure, grief, &c., and to wound which, will instantly terminate life, is insensible to the touch. The famous Dr. Harvey exami¬ ned a nobleman of the Montgomerey family who, in consequence of an abcess, had a fis¬ tulous opening into the chest, throngh whicb the heart could he seen and handled. The great physlolpgist was astonished to find it insensible. The youug mau felt no sensa¬ tions when his heart was touched. Shielded 1 from physical violence by an outwork of bones, it is not invested with sensations which could have contributed nothing.to ita preservation. Phenomena fully as extraor-
atrange to say, it is itaelf insensible to the wonnds wbich are torture to the akin, and which wounds the brain alone enables us to feel. *Itisas iuaeusible,' aays Sir Chariea Bell, 'as the leather of our shoe, and a piece may be cut off without interrupting the pa¬ tient in the aentenca that he is uttering,— Becanae the bone which envelopea it ia its pro¬ tection against injuries from wlthont, it has no perception of them when directed againat ita owu fabric, though it is at the aame time the aole sonrce of the pain whioh, those inju¬ ries inflict upon the other portiona of the syatem. But the skull is no defenae against the effecta of intemperance, or a vitiated at- moaphere, or too great mental toil. To theae consequently the aame brain, which has been created insensible to the cut of the kuife, is rendered fully alive, and giddiness, head¬ aches and apoplectic oppresaion give ample notice to ua to stop the evil, unless we ure prepared to pay the penalty.
Since neither pain oan be felt, nor any. oth¬ er sense cau be exercised except through the medinm of the nerves, it is to theee we mnst trace the diversified impression of which the body is susceptible. It is here that Sir Charles Bell mada the beautiful discovery which entitles him to he ranked among the greatest physiologists the world haa produced. Pairs of nerves are given off from the apinal cord at short intervals along its entire length. Ramifying througout the body, they are the medinm of communication between the va¬ rious textures and the spine, and, by meana of the spine, with the brain. Eaoh nerve has two roots, which issue separately from the aide of the spinal cord, but almost immedi¬ ately coalesce and ruu together like a single cylinder. Sir Charles Bell detected the lead¬ ing fact, which has thrown such a flood of light upon tha nervous system, that one of these roots consisted exclusively of sensitive fibres, and its fellow entirely of fibres of mo¬ tiou. Irritate the root which emerges near¬ est to the back of the cord, aud the suffering ia iutense. Irritate the root wiiich comes out towards the front of the cord, and no pain whatever is felt, but irrepressible mus¬ cular movements are provoked. Again, di¬ vide the firat, which is called the posterior root, and tbe sensibility of the parts which it aupplies is destroyed, while the power of mo¬ tion remains complete. Divide the second or anterior root, and there is an end to motion in the parts to which its fibres lead, while the sensation continues as acute as ever.— The two sorts of'fibres which run together for a large portion of their length in a single oord, and whicb are apparently identical in structure, hava yet offices as diatiuot as see¬ ing and hearing, and which can be no more interchanged than we can hear with the eye or see with the ear."
The object of the sense of pain is illustra¬ ted by all our organs of sense. The tongue judges of the temperature and taste of food, thus enabling us to reject what ia not proper to be taken into the stomach ; the olfactory nerves warn us of noisome and pestilential exhalations. Bad food aud noxious odors occasion bodily suffering just as surely as flesh wounds. Each sens» has it appropriate sphere, and isjandowed with a keen percep¬ tion of peculiar dangers.

"Hdman Growth.—From the mechanism of a mite, to that of a man, there are inherent evidences of the same great Creating Mind— great in Wisdom, great in Power, and great in His Beneficence. Trees grow most in sum¬ mer-time, and so do men. In summer, there is warmth, relaxation, opening, budding out —there is growth; in wiater there is the struggle for life—the great manufactories of the system have lo do increased work, in order to keep the body warm. It is ofteu so cold in winter, that most of a farmer's tima during the day, is expended iu keeping np the fires. It is the same in the hnman body: extra labor must be done by the multitudi- uoiis workmen, whose bnsiness it is to keep the wheels of life iu motion- In winter, we can eat a fourth more, and require more sleep by a full hour, in the twenty-four. So that he who ia so systematic as to go to bed at the same hour, and leave it at the same hour, does a violence to hisconstitution, which will tell undeniably in the direction of debility and premature decay.

We all expand and grow iuto the likeness of our Great Father, iu propor¬ tion as charity keeps up tha warm summer tima in our hearts—while the snn light of a life that is pure and true, dispels the clouds and darkness of wrong-doiug, aud creates an atmosphere fit lor the breath of angels."— Hall's Journal of Health.
PnuDExcE.^The great end of prudence is to give cheerfulness to those Iionra which splendor cannot gild, and exhortation cannot exhilarate—those soft intervals of unbended amusement in which a man ahriuka to his natural dimenaions, and throws aside the ornaments or disguises which he feela in pri¬ vacy to be useless incumbrances, and to lose I all effect when they become familiar. To be happy at home is tbe ultimate resnlt of all ambition—the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution. It is indeed at home that every man must be known by those who would make a juat estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and era- broidery are alike occaaioual, and the mind la often dresaed for ahow iu painted honor and fictitious benevolence.
The less yott leave your childreu when yoa die, the more they will have twenty years afterwards. Wealth inherited should be the incentive to exertion.

plaything, while his young visitor ia allowed only the' poor privilege of looking on, and finally, perhapa, seas the toys all laid away iu a box or drawer, that no other hand may tonch them! It is a moat effectual way of teaching a child to be selfish. He learna that hia own gratification is paramount to that of every othar child, while no thought at all is given to making another child happy. How much more pleasing tbe sight ofa child who ia ready to share the " good time" with a companion, who cheerfully allows another to enjoy the toys with himaelf I How much more promising it is, too I Let him be taught to handle them with cara himself, and coun¬ sel his playmates to do the same; but never let him inaist on haviag all the aport to him¬ self, for this is selfish It is not well to allow such carelessness and auoh destruction of playthings ae we sometimes see, but eveu this is to be preferred to that aelfiah spirit which haa no deaire or purpose to administer to another's comfort. For one, we prefer to see toys dbshed to fragments, than that their use shonld hinder a kiud, generous spirit, whioh is one of the choicest and grandest de¬ velopments of humanity.
The second way of cultivating selfishness in children is by teaching economy. Economy is a cardinal virtue, and wo can scarcely say too much iu its favor, where it is practised from proper motives. But some children ara taught to save their pennies without any reference to a proper use of them, in the way of benevolence. The Scriptures enjoin econ¬ omy for the sake of having more meana with which to do good. This is cultivating a be¬ nevolent spirit at the aame time that econom¬ ical habita ara formed. Such should be the instruction of the young. A wasteful, spend¬ thrift diaposition is extremely dangerous, though it is not half so coutemptibla as a penurious, selfish spirit. Tlierefore, children shonld learn to save their pennies, not so much for the sake of haviug 39 many dollars, by-and-bye, but iu orderto Roasesa tbe means pf blessing others. If they learn to save with no such purpose, they become avaricious and grasping. They see nothing in money to value but its amount- Their object ia to hoard. A little tin bank, with an opening for deposits but not for discounts, just suits their disposition. From year to year they wax worse and worse, grow tighter and tight¬ er, and when they become men and women, they recognize no duty to their sufferiug fel¬ lows, and hug their dollars with the grasp of miaers. One reason why, after so much preaching and writiug upon the subject, be¬ nevolence has uot attained to a higher stan¬ dard among adults is, because they were taught in childhood to get all they eould, and keep all they conld get. Let our children oonttnue to be taught in this way, and giving from principle will be as infrequent twenty years hence as uow. Or, if children use their pennies, but spend them only for confection ary or toys to gratify themselves, their case is not more flattering. For this is employing money for self-pleasure only, just as the gay young belle dashes out in silks aud plumes, and satiates her relish for balls audjiarties. The child gratifies his solfish feelings with sugar-stick and wooden carts, while the fash¬ ionable belle gratifies hers on a'grauder scale amid scenes of worldly pleasure—that is all the difference.
The third way of teachingselfishness is, by bestowing too mnch attention upou children when they are very small. The general rule in some families is, that the older sons and daughters mnst yield to please the youngest. The baby must be gratified at any rate. If he wanta Nellie's doll or Billy'a ball, he must have it. It does no good for either Nellie or Billy to set up a plea on their own behalf, for " baby is the youngest, and mnst bo pleased." By the time he is three years old, he will uot take " no" for an answer. He has learued that self, although iu a baby-body, is number one, and must be regarded before others. So ha moves about, if not a genuine " lord of cre¬ ation," yet really lord of the family. Many a three-year-old controls tbe entire house¬ hold, father, mother, brothers, sisters, all.— Every member runs at his bidding, and bis " little wish" carries the day against all oth¬ ers. Is it strange that he becomes selfish? Doubtless many selfish meu and women were made so before they were three years of age. —r^Happy Home.

A genius is usually understood to be a creature of such rare facility of miud that he can do any thing without labor. According to the popular notion, ha learna withont study, and knows withont learning. He is eloquent without preparation, exact without calculation, aud profound withont reflection. While ordinary men toil for knowledge by reading, by comparison, and by minute re¬ search, a genius is supposed to recive it as a mind receives dreams. His mind is like a vast cathedral; through wbose colored win
of debt. West Lampeter, as aoon found herself in this condition, appointed eight mouths of school aud a salary of $30 per month. We are looking tbis year for others to follow her example.
Most of tbe houses erected during the paat year manifest a liberal and enlightened policy on the part of Directors. There is, I believe, but one miserable exception to this remark. The house to which we refer, is built in the midat of a craggy, rocky ledge, with scarce a foot of ground visible, floor low, joists scarce seven feet high, walls as wet wheu I visited it aa wet blauketa. Tho only redeeming fea¬ ture to me waa that it was not plastered above, aud thus the whole garret became a Tentilator; and the ouly plea urged by the Directors in extenuation of such a nuisance
