BrownTilIelFeb.l5th,'59. . 3UAp.lst Miscellaneons. Tbe Yalae or Employment. Since both soul and body are made for exertion, there is nothing more conducive to cheerfulness, the result of their joint health, than fit employment.. Ahousp be reft of tenants goes to decay. A vehicle laid up without use rusts and moulders. A fine piece of machinery is never so safe, as when lubricated and raoYing. Body and soul made for perpetual activity, must work, and work together, in order to be in good condition. Of all engines, the human body is the most amazing. From the days of Socrates, as reported by Xe nophon, philosophy has been studying the mechanics, the chemistry, the vital force, the adaptions, the final causes of this structure: so wonderfully made. There are no steps forward to new principles in physics, in optics, in the growth of struc tures, which does not find itself anticipat ed by some marvelous realization of its idea in the human body. Considered as a working engine, there is none which works so cheaply, with so little waste, or so long, and which contains such provi sions for its own repair. How every sur vey of the skillful mechanism shows that it was made to move. Its central, propel ling engine, never stops, except in cases which cause instant dread of death. Heart, lungs and brains, play on through all the thousand nights of sleep. An in stinct of nature prompts the young to be in almost perpetual motion. Absolute rest there is none. And if, from necessity or choice, any approach to immobility be comes the habitude of body, as is the case in some sluggish and morbid natures, the result is leihargy and endless disturbance of the vital functions. This frame was made for labor. Equally true is this of the yet more subtle because spiritual part. Of a mind that does not think, no man can frame a notion. The human mind is made to be active. It is inquiring, and thirsty for knowlekge. Its active powers irresistab ly seek for some object on which to exert themselves. Healthful, moderate repose, chiefly by change of employment, isgo.od; but entire, continual, unbroken quiescence is misery. Never was there a more dire mistake than that of men who abandon the honest and useful business of life, un der the pretext of rest. Unless they have singular resources in science, literature, or philanthropy, they sink into lassitude, weary of the everlasting holiday, let their hearts corrode with sullen thoughts, and sometimes fall a prey to evil habits or premature dotage. Philosophy no less than religion, enjoins unless where in vincible necessities from infirmity or age clearly speak another language that we should live working, and die in the har ness. Hence the value of a trade or call ing, and of working at it. I believe it lengthens life. 1 believe it staves off tribes of maladies and conceits. Im a sure it promotes that spring and elevation of soul, without which life is a long disease. If you would find the most wretched man or woman in your neighborhood, look for the one who has nothing to do". Unless allowed to prescribe employment, even the best physician cannot cure the valetu dinary complainer. For after all has been said, employment begets cheerful ness ; and a "merry hearth doeth good like a medicine." A Lesson from Nature. The larger animals are never supported laterally ; their limbs are always in a po sition nearly vertical ; as we descend in the scale of size the lateral support be comes more frequent, till we lind the whole tribes cf insects resting on limbs almost horizontally. The slightest con sideration will convince any one that la teral or horizontal limbs would be quite inadequate to support the weight of the larger animals. Conceive a spider to in crease till his body weighed as much as that of a man, and then fancy one of us exhibiting feats of dexterity with such locomotive instruments as the spider would then possess! How interesting it is to compare the different animals, and to trace the gradu ai change of form which accompanies each increase of size ! In the smaller animals, the strength is, as it were, re dundant, and there is room for the display of the most elaborate ornament. How complex or how beautiful are the myriads of insects which float in the air, or which cluster on the foliage! Gradually the larger of these become more simple in their structure, their ornaments less pro fuse. The structure of the birds is simpler and more uniform, that of the quadruped still more so. As we approach the larger quadrupeds, ornament and then elegance disappear. This is the law in the works of nature, and this ought to be the law among the works of art. Among one class of animals, indeed, it may be said that this law is reversed. We have by no means a . general classifi cation of the fishes ; but among those with which we are acquainted, we do not perceive such a prodigious change of form. Here, however, . the animal has - not to support its own weight; and whatever in crease may take place in the size of the animal, a like increase take place in the buoj-ancy of the fluid in which it swims. Many of the smaller aquatic animals ex hibit the utmost simplicity of structure; but we know too little of the nature of their functions to draw any useful conclu sions from this fact. An editor always considers his room better than his company. A Dog-Story for the Holler-Days. The residents of North Water street, Geneva, N. Y., were afforded, no little amusement a few days since, by the inci dents narrated to us in substance as fol lows : A countryman, the owner of a large but usually good-natured dog, drove-in town on the day stated.' Near the rail road crossing on AVater 1 street, : "Tiger" fell into bad company, and a regular muss ensued. Taken suddenly, and almost un awares, the countryman's dog seemed hardly to comprehend whether it was a "free fight" in earnest, or only the rough sort of play of village "hounds," until he foui d himself in a "throat to mouth" con test with a regular fighting character, in the shape of a trained bull-dog, and get ting the worst of it. His master, howev er, by this time comprehended the nature of the muss, and springing from his wa gon, caught the bull-dog by his "narra tive" and endeavored to separate the com batants.' "Let that dog alone or I'll lam you ov er the head !" growled a rough and exci ted looking customer standing by, who proved to be the owner of the bull. "Oh, then, you want 'em to fight, do ye ?" ejaculated homespun, dropping the end ; and then, at the top of his voice, shouted, "Go in Tige !" And Tige did "go in." Instantly the tide of tattle was turned. Tige secured and was making good use of his vantage ground, when bull's owner suddenly be come converted to a peacemaker. Suiting the action to the idea, he made a feint to release his dog from the vice-like jaws of Tiger. "Let that dog alone, or I'll lam yoo over the head !" shouted the countryman; and he straigtened up and swelled out to such huge proportions that "Rock-street" desisted terror-stricken at the menace. Tiger pursued his work in hand until the piteous "ky-yi !" of his assailant seemed to produce pity in the dog's heart of the former, for he relaxed his hold and the latter slunk away, with the appear ance of three legs behind. As the countryman jumped into his wa gon he called out to bull-dog's master, "Whenever you want another fight, just say the word, as me and Tige allers tra vel together." Deal Gently. We pity the man or the woman who having been stunned by a great misfor tune staggers forth into the world unaided by any friendly arm, striving courageous ly to bear up without the sympathy which no human being can long exist and dis pense with, and yet cut off from seeking it, or even accepting it, should it come in their way, because explanation or confes sion would involve a sacnligious invasion of the heart's history. They only who have waded through deep waters of trou ble, alone know from the deprivation of it the might of human sympathy to roll off the surging billows. But pent up tears, suppressed groans, a fettered ton gue, a throbbing heart with ever an iron hand upon it, God pity such, for He alone knows what they suffer. And so, if we hear a petulant word or look upon an unsmiling face, or meet no grand response to our wayside mirth let us not condemn nor measure grudgingly our kindness even to such. Every heart knoweth its own bitterness, and we may all unconsciously, in our thoughtlessness, have ridden rough shod over some prostrate sufferer. . m . . A Lesson for Lazy WItcs. One day, a sturdy peasant was at work in the fields amidst a severe storm and rain, and went home in the evening thor oughly tired out, and drenched to the skin. He was met at the housedoor by his loving wife, who had been at home all day. "My dear." said she, "it has been rain ing so hard that I could not fetch water, so I have not been able to make you any dinner. As you. are already wet through, I shall be obliged to you to fetch me a couple of buckets of water; you cannot get any wetter." The argument was striking, he there fore took the buckets and fetched some water from the well, which was at a con siderable distance. On reaching his house he found his wife comfortably seated by the fire ; then lifting one bucket after the other, he poured both over his kind and considerate partner. "Now, wife," said he, "you are quite as wet as I am, so you may as well fetch water for yourself ; you can't get any wetter. Mixing up the Babies. The Weaverville (Cal.) Journal gives the following account of an affair which, however it may move the laughter of our reader, we fancy to have made , some of the " parties concerned "laugh on the wrong side of their mouths:" "Some time ago there was a dancing party given 'up north ;' most of the ladies present had little babies, whose noisy per versity required too much attention to permit the mothers to enjoy the dance. A number of gallant young men volunteered to watch the young ones while the parents indulged in a 'breakdown.' No sooner had they left the babies in charge of the mischievous devils, than they stripped the infants, changed their clothes, giving to one the apparel of another. The dance over, it was time to d home and the mothers hurriedly each took a baby, in the dress of her own, and started, some to their homes, ten or fifteen miles off, and were far on their way before day light. But the day following there was a prodigious row in that settlement, moth ers discovered that a single day had chan ged the sex of their babies; observation disclosed startling physiological phenome na, and then commenced some of the tall est female pedestrianism ; living miles apart, it required two days to unmix the babies, and as many mouths to restore the women to their naturally sweet dispo sitions. To this day it is unsafe for any of the baby mixers to venture within the territory." An Eloquent Extract Generation after generation, says a fine writer, have felt as we feel, and their lives were as active as our own.' They passed away like a vapor, while Nature wore the same aspect of beauty as when her creator commanded her to be. The heavens shall be as bright over our graves as they are now around our paths. The world will have the attractions for our off springs yet unborn that she had once for ourselves, and that she now has for our children. Yet a little while and all this will have happened. The throbbing heart will be stilled, and we shall be at rest. Our funeral will wind its way, and the prayers will be said, and our friende will all return, and we shall be left behind in silence and darkness for the worm. And it may be for a short time we shall be spoken of, but the things of life will creep in, and our names will soon be for gotten. Days will continue to move on, and laughter and song will be heard in the room in which we died ; and the eye that mourned for us will be dried ; and glisten again with joy; and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our names. Then shall we have become, in the touch ing language of the Psalmist, "forgotten and clean gone out of mind." Falling in Lotc with a Picture on a Banknote. An ardent young man in this city, says the Springfield Republican, who fell, in love some time since with the portrait of a woman on a bank bill, wrote to the cash ier of the bank to know whether it was a fanciful picture, or "the representation of a breathing woman." If the latter, he was resolved to have her or die in the at tempt. The cashier replied to him after a few days delay, which he hoped had not "tended unduly to aggravate the fierceness of his disorder," thus ; "I am unable to give you the abundant consolation of a letter of introduction to the original of the portrait, if it had an original, which I am not disposed to ques tion. My knowledge of her is quite scan ty and unsatisfactory. The story told by our engravers is, that she was a teacher in the school house in New York at the time of that cruel disaster a few years ago, when, upon a false alarm of fire, the children rushed down the stairway, which gave way, causing the death of a large number of the 'innocents.' Our heroine is said to have saved all her pupils by that presence of mind that shines in her face, and to have then leaped from a third-story window. Whether in so doing she broke both her legs, irreparably damaged her lovely nose, and forever dimmed one lus trous eye, I am not told. My own belief is that she came out unscathed and un harmed, and at once proceeded to Bradys who photographed her, and thus gave her unparalleled lineaments to immortality on a bank note. I am further inclined to the notion that shortly thereafter she married to the 'man of her choice,' (she never would do anything else,) and is now the happy mother of four 'small children and one at the breast.' Of course you'll take no stock in this theory of mine, and if you are bent on further investigation, I can only refer you to our engravers, who can possibly put you on the track. Go in and win, and be sure in such a happy consum mation to ask me to be there. If it calls me to Kamschatka I shall surely obey; indeed, were I not sufficiently blessed in the woman line, you would have received no reply at all to your inquiries." &c. We have been looking for a coroner's case of the dead body of an interesting young man "found drowned;" but be ing disappointed thus far, have concluded that our hero proposes to find consolation by joining in the sack race, or the strife for the greased pig on Hempden Park next Monday. m a . Character of a cook Sue makes hash of everything except mutton. We praise the cabbage for its heart, the cauliflower for its head. A philosopher resembles a cucumbef when most cut up he is perfectly cool. The man who trust to the last omnibus generally has to walk home. Begin life with but little show; you may increase it afterward. There are two sorts of police the de tective and defective. Fast men, like fast rivers, are general ly the shallowest. .' Among the advertisements in a late London paper, we read that "Two sisters want washing." , An afflicted friend says that 'he has found that undertaking in some cases pro ves to be decidedly orcr-taking.
