MISCELLANEOUS. TIic lliuliclor IloitiPH of Kansas. Karly in ilie snrinir, several thousand excellent young; men, or unterjiri.itt and t. k'ljl, came to Kansas truiu iiolil.- iiioiivok. This was jokingly called tho I'urjxl lhtg emigration. js0i nuving tho enrunibraiiix' of lamilies, iliey moved readily to any pari of tho Territory, which suited their lancy, ana touli claims ana bellied down. If troubles came, they were on hand to sup ju e3 them, to that Kansas iniirlu no lonu- or clejiend vu Alisaouri for a posse to keep the peace. Wo havti tunny pleasant acquaintances union; tueso young men, and have fre quently met iheui in their Kansn! homes. One iv o met in the road about 70 miles from Lawrence. Ho insisted on our vis iting his cabin and inking dinner We gladly accompanied him. He had a beau tiful claim part limber and part prairie, with a creelc running through it, and a small pole cubin, without (ire place, stove or floor. The bed was u pile of hay in one comer on the ground, and an Indian blanket, which answered for a clouk by day, aud a bed cover by night. On introducing us into his cabin, he in vited us to tit down on his trunk, and ex cuse him while he " ran over to Jiui'i, and borrow a linle flour for dinner I am out," fcaia he. lie obtained the Hour and commenced making butler cukes, in the mean lime entertaining us with his new iiiode of life, and the jdeulures attending j it. lit the lirst place, the people were all free and equal, fat, ragged and buuey, ' and cared for nobody. He had not hud his clothes oil' for two weelu, and hud vi olated no custom or fuehion of the neigh borhood. He hud but two cooking uten sils a frying pan and cotlee pot. He did nut know what else he wanted, for he was perfectly happy. "1 akouLl like mails to come once in a while, though," uid he, " for we have had but one paper since we caine here, und that is aud old K. V. Tribuite, which we boys huve read through bo olien that we know it by heuri advertisement and all," After eating a hearty dinner, inudu sweet by hunger, we left, . wishing our friend heulih and prosjierity forever. He was u raiNTi H, a bcholur and a patriot . Fifty miles further on wo heard of our friend II. We had formerly known hurt as a tall, handsome, gentlemanly fallow, w itli dark curley hair, dark eyes, iho man iters of a Chesterliel 1, the learning of a Nholar, the skill of an artist. He played the violin to perfection, and was the cen ter of attraction and the soul of enjoy ment wherever he went. We had direc tions to his cabin, and drove up before the door and called out his name. He was lying yet rolled up iu bis blanket, ou J the door, which he had taken from its hinges and laid upon two chunks, for a bedstead. He roused up at our call, and on being joked about his bedstead, he gavo as a reason for this economy, that il was ""r " "d t" door was not J t0 UP t" 't!e 111 the logs, to he , 't it to this u. for the bake of lyinj up , i . , higher from tho ground. Wo made a long and pleasant visit here. Nriitinjr oiiraulf on the bed, we watched our friend get breakfast. Ho wua a cold water nmn, ao our repast here wns even more simple llinn ilie other. The only cooking uion sila nui a frying pun. Tho only article of diet wits batter rakes, mailt) of Hour nnd (urn meal, with butter nnd molasses. The lire plnro was four or five Moiies, out of door, where ilm lire was kept Wo took our tin plutca on our laps, nnd ulo n very pleasant breakfitt. Soon ufler this wan over, two young gentlemen, travelers, rode up and enquired for varmit i luiins. Ho replied that he rotild givo ilieni no antHfuotory information, the country being inoMlv taken up. Alter a little conversa tion, they left. " Did you not tell me, said we. "that thero were severul good claim near heref" "Yes, I did; bull niu keeping them for families.

Tli Col Inch m at Itomr. Tho Coliseum is ono of tho grandest ru ins in the world. It is one of those raro buildings whoso reality surpasses any en graving. Everybody knows tho form of it, but few cun rightly csliinato its ningnif cout proportions without seeing ii. Tho seals rose in tcrrnces four stories high; each story was about forty ft et high. In fact, tho height of tho outer wall was one hundred and fifty-seven foet. The arena wus two hundred and eighty-seven feet long by ono hundred and eighty foot wide. Including tho wall tho building rneastired six hundred and twenty feet by five hun dred and thirteen, being as usual, eliptical. Tho material was tho travertine atone, in large blocks, with which brick masonry is intermingled. Tho Mocks or stone woro not cemented together, hut were kept in ilieir'plaees by iron pins between each two blocks. I he walls have been defaced by holes iiindc to get out tltoso iron pins or bolts. Tho work of destruction on this, as on all other ruins, is arrested, and the pre sent Pope is doing all he can to preserve litem. Why lo no many C'lilldrrn Dir. It is a startling fact that very few peo pie are Pit to be parents. Every summer we are rendered inUncholly by the ter rible record of tho sad havoc deutlt makes among our little ones. These deaths are mainly attributed to tho heat. This is on ly nn indirect cause of the great mortality among our children. They do not get out-of-door exercise enough, particularly in tho winter litnc. The system of.koeping them mullled up beside red-hot stoves, in aparV incuts through which a breath of fresh air scarcely ever passes, during the cold sea son, predisposes them to disease, aud the moment tho weather changes, they sicken and die. Children are also permitted to eat an abundunco of candies, cakes, nnts and other trash, which should never find access to their stomuchs, and many parents allow their very young offspring the use of tea and colfee. Theso indulgences cre ate a morbid state of the system, which eventually produces severe sickness, and unless the constitution be particularly ro bust, and the medical treatment especially skillful, death winds up the alluir conclu sively. Again, children are not taught the value of frequent ablution. There are many children in this city who seldom or never feel water, excepting upon their tands, faces and feet. With enervated nerves, foul stomachs, and pores stopped up by impure exhalations, our children cannot be expected to thrive when the dog star rages. Life Illustrated. ' The N:ttssiTY or Exercise. Tho benefits of exercise to those whose occu pation docs not lead them to any physical exertion, cannot be loo highly estimated. The body must undergo a certain amount of fatigue to preserve its natural strength, and maintain all the muscles and organs in proper vigor. This activity equalizes the circulation, and distributes the blood more effectually throughout every part. Cold feet or a chill anywhere, shows that the circulation is languid there. The muscles during the exercise press on the veins and help forward the current by quickening every vessel into activity. The valves of the heart are in this ,way aided in the work of bending on this stream and relieved of a certain amount of labor. When exercise is neglected, the blood gathers to much around the central region, BrM tno oppression about the heart, difii. (hey fancy they want breath, and feel weak. , Hut the very effort would free the heart from this bu den, by urging the blood for ward to the extremities; it would ease their breathing by liberating the lungs from tho same super-abundance; it would make the frame active and light as the effect of equalized circulation and free action.
