ANIMAL DIET BAD FOIL CHILDREN.—On the subject
of giving ailinial f. aul to young children, the following
opinion of D-. CI :1 ke, Poysician in Ordinary to the Qaeen,
expresses tile views of most of the celebrated physicians:
—"'fliers is no greater error in the management ,f chil-
dren ilia,' that ot giving them animal diet very early. .y
persevering in the use of an over stimulating diet, the
digestive organs become irritated, and tie variaus secre-
tmns, miperliaiely connected wi,h, and necessary to dic-
tion, ar... diminished, especially the biliary see-
and consiipivion of the nowels, and canoe
dominal circulati 'n succeed. Children so fed

ion of Ult.. ab

moreover very liable to attacks from fever and infl trnma-
tion aff,eting particularly the muctini membranes; and
rneasleq, and the other diseases tricidelit to childhood, are
generally severe in tacit at.tack." In r,fereace ta thii last
remark, a diszi-gui,hcd med'cal gentleman mentioned to
us, that in families wh:ire children livtol on a simple diet,
without tea and coif- e, if they werc seized with rwasles,
hooping caugri, and s milar diseases, he newer called but
once, as he knew there ws no danger;

but that in fami-

lies where an oppo4ite e irxe wa; nurined, he akvays

ties, and his head was at last sliced from his lacerated
body. Such was the shocking result of the misciinduct of
his brother the Sardar Dost Mohammed Khan towards

SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING

—People and cattle in an

open and level part of the country are very liable to be
struck down, injured, or killed, during thunder st rms.
A few simple precautions may be the means of saving
lives. A person leading an animal with a meal chain, no
part of which is touching the ground, is in the mast dan-
gerous circumstances. If one be struck, the other will
rarely, perhaps never, escape. This was exemplified, near
the Bridge of Dee, in the case of an old woman and her
cow, some year or two ago. If part of the chain, the more
the better, be touching the ground, both person and ani-
mal may be struck and escape ii jury. The chain being
the better conductor, the discharee would pass through the
metal to the earth. In such circumstances, the best ar-
rangement, when danger is apprehended, would be to pass
the chain over the head of the person and the back of the
animal, and drive the iron pin at the end into the ground.
A person leading an animal with a rope is tolerably safe,
especially if the animal he large and horned, and the rope
quite dry. The chances of safety to the person would be
increased by wrapping a hit of cloth of a-1y kind (a nap-
kin, for example, and silk is the best) round the part of
the rope which is held in the persPn's hand. The two
persons who were leading the bull which was killed near
Rhynie lately, must have been isol ,ted by a rope of some
non-conducing substance. Had they been connected to
the animal by any conducting metal, no part of which was
touching the ground at the instant of the shock, their de-
struction woula have been as certain as that of the old
woman and the cow.—North of Scotland Gazelle.

AN Eernostesee---We read to a Brlgian journal,—
" The sale of the gallery of paintings of M. Van N., of
Brussels, who dieu 'n the course of the last month, is ad-
vertised. Th's celebrated amateur not otcly devoted his
life, but sacrificed the whole of his fortune, which origin-
ally produced him a revenue of 40,000 f. a year, to his pas-
sion for posses-ins the masterpieces of the greet Flemish
artists. Reduced by this to the want of even the neces-
saries of life, he could not be induced to part with even
one of his cherished treavures. At last an old sere -nt,
who continued to serve hitn without wages, converted the
gallery into a source for the maintenance of his master
and himself, by a; plying the gratuities given him for
showing the splendid collection to visitors in purchasing
food for them both. A few years ago the faithful and af-
fectionate old set cant died, and M. Van N., hopeless of
finding another upon the same teams, lock the office up-
on himself. When visitors came to view the gallery, he
put on the old livery, and attended them through it, dis-
playing a critical a. qu tintance with the merits of each
picture, that delighted all and astonished those who were
able to appreciate his erudition. Sometimes the visitors,
supposing him to be really the servant, would make the
master the subject of sarcastic observations, some calling
him an eccentric fool, and others a madman, and wonder-
ine that his friends did not have him declared a lunatic.
All this he listened to either with perfect indifference, or
making pallieting e,cuees as his old servant used to do,
and when their curiosity was satisfied, holding out his
band for the accustomed fee."
BEAUTY AND VANllY.—Angelina Luxrnore was born
and hred a beauty ! Every one understands what it is to
be born a beauty ; although some weeks (clay, months)
must elapse before even to the fondest eve and moat san-
guine heart the little wizen " wee thing." ked-faced.bald-
headed, flat-nosed, and old-looking, can give any great
promise of the charms which are to enchant the world,
still, undiscerned and undiscernible, the germ is there.
The mos" fatal and fascinating of gilts is enclosed in that
little bud. It will expand into a matchless flower, if born
a beauty ; if not, it may to outward view be an unsightly
weed ; but whatever its outward form, to it belong a
heart, a mind, a S9UL ; and therefore, hovvev.-r nurses
may triumph parents tejlice, and friends congratulate, we
pronounce it to he a fearful thing to be born a beauty, if,
as is too generally the case, that circumstance leads to tt e
being bred a beauty too! What is it, then, to be bred a
beauty ? Is it tent to he set apart from the cradle as a
priestess of vanity ? To be taught betimes to dwell and
poneer on those charms ell female educalien should induce
their possessor to forget ? Are not the advantages of a
face and form of mite rising loveliness frequently, by the
folly of those around, ruined by those sad and repelling
drawbacks, frivolity, egotism, and self-worship ? A;as!
alas! among the host of single women whom the coarse
world so harshly terms "old maids," how many owe their
joyless fate to that great but unsuspected enemy, their
beauty ! " She must have been a great beauty—what a
wonder she never got a husband!" In that common re-
mark cause and effect go hated in hand. She was a
beauty—she knew it—how could she but know what she
had heard from her cradle—what was repeated before she
knew the mencieg of the words—repeated, with many a
hug and exteting caress, by the proud and silly mother,
re-echoed by the sillier father, broadly asserted by the
nurse-maid with every new bit of finery, insinuated into
the little head with the first plume stuck bite) the white

beaver hat, and conveyed to the ale heart with the first
gaudy sash a d glittering necklace. Yes, that sad, sub-
dued, and disappointed " old maid," with whet the French
so graphically call " de si beaux testes," with such fine
features, such an air of command, and yet such a look of
desolation, but for her once brilliant beauty, she might
now be a toad and cherished wi'e, living her own youth
over again in that of her children, glorifying in her daugh-

larins and

her son's mat

tainments. There is nothing so unl9vely as selfishness,
and nothing, generally speaking, so selfish as a woman
bred a beau, v. No homage suffices—no cinquest contents
her. She cannot !lye ; and t hos., who cannot love cannot
long be l• ved : they way enthral the st n,es fora time, but
the heart they have so easily won they as easily lose.—
