convinced. that the shocks he had re-
ceivei were owing to the electric state
OF the feathers in the bed, rs thew were
precisely similar to those he remember

MACHINE, or Leyden jar. Having thus
stated the facts, we request an explana-
tion OF them from some of our pbysico-

Secrets Of healM.--A fox-hunter can
get drunk every night in the year, and
{ yet live TO an old age; bat then he is
all exercise and no thought. A seden-
tary scholar shall not be able TO get
drunk once in the year with impunity !;
but he is all thought and no exercise.
Now, the greatest object is neither, TO
get drunk, nor TO be all exercise, nor all
thought, but TO enjoy all our pleasures
with sprightly reason. The four or
binary secrets of health are, early rising,
exercise, personal cleanliness, and the
rising from table with stomach unop-
pressed. There may be sorrows in
| spite of these, but they win be less with
them, and nobody can be truly comfort
able without them.
Il The duty Of forgiveness has appeared
to me not only imperative, bat 10 carry
with it an alleviating magnanimity, min
gled with the most soothing sensation.
In pardoning an injury, the heart dlIates,
ard our poor mansions OF clay seem to
be illuminated with the rays Of immor-
talily-we feel proud without intemper-
ance-humble without debasement : we
seem to borrow the intended injury:
and whilst we discharge a sacred duty
imposed upon US by the Most High, we
are paid hundred fold, by the feeling
that all within is peace, harmony, gentle
ness and love. To love the man who has
injured US, is still degree of elevation
above generous forgiveness: it's higher
step towards the regions of celestial re-
fulgence-a brighter jewel in the dia-
dem of perfection to which we aspire.
''That will break a proud mans
heart which will scarcely break hum
BILE mans sleeps aud it's certain that
many Of the troubles of life affe Il our
peace in exact proportion to the degree
of our pride or humility.
Virtue without talent, is coat of mail
without a sword--it may indeed defend the
