on myself by the use Of the above most excellent Medicine

severely, afflicted with the Rheumatism have been frequenAy
rendered perfectly helpless, and in consequence con6n d 70
my bed, when il has required Two persons 10 move me, being
in such extreme pain; i have several times been under the
care Of the most eminent physicians, but procured only Tempo
rsry relief. I one day noticed The advertisement Of DR.. Jebbs
Linunent, with the testimonials accompany ing II, and was in
dured 10 try a bottle, which l used without much sensible bsR-
eft. l concluded, however, TO persevere, and bought another
bottle, and was greatly relieved, and by the use OF half ths
third bottle, was wholly cured, and have never since had q re-
turn Of the pain, which | had not been free from a month At .
time for thirty years, and II Is now mere than three yean sines

MISGEIEANE
FASCINATION.

Mr. Townserd,s a clergyman ofcxcel-
lent character aud considerable learning
gives u striking account OF power over
horses, o~btainodsby one james sullivan,
a native Of the county Of Cork. The
man, an awkward, ignorant rustic. OF she
tower class was BY profession a horse
branker; and generally nicknamed tar
whisperer, from, its being vulgarly sup
poscd that he obiaiaed his influence over
unruly horses by Shispsriny 10 them.-
The. actual secret ofhIs fascinating pow
er he kept entirely to himself; and Il
has died with him. His son, who ~ in
tho same occupations, knows nothing OF
il. II is well known that, however un-
broken or vicious a horse might be when
brought to him, IN the short space Of half
an hour, he became altogether passive
under his influence, and was not only
entirely gentle and tractable al the time,
but continued 50 10 a very considerable
dcgree-though always somewhat more
submissive to him than 10 the other peo-
pie. There was a little my stcry in his plan
but unquestionablys no deceit. Whe"
sent for, tn tame M unruIy horse, he or
dered the stable to be shut upon himself
and the sanimul alone and not to be open
ed till a given signal. This singular in
tercourse usually lasted about hall an
hour; no hustle was heard-no violence
seemed to be used: but when the door
was opened the horse was seen lying
down, aud the iascinator by his side play
ing with him as familiarly as # he had
been II puppy. ~'Ionce,' says MIR. Town
send, saw his skill tried on a horse that
could never before be brought to stand
for a smith 10 shoe him. Thc next day
after Sullivan had lectured him, | went
not without some incredibly to the smiths
shop, where, with many other curious
spectators, l was n eyewitness oil the
complete success OF his art; although
the animal was a troop-horse, and il hat
been naturally supposed that after reg''
mental discipline had failed, no other
would be found awaiting. l observedt tho
animal seemed afraid, whenever Suiii-
van either spoke ar looked at him.

HUMAN FOOD.

Man is omniverous to so great a de-
gree as to derive nOurishment from earth.
Geophagy is not always with him a symp-
tom of some morbid condition giving rise
to %depraved appc,ites; it is a constant
practice with all tribes, who may thus be
said to cheat their hunger, by filling
their stomachs with clay, or other min
eral substances impregnated with mag
nesia. Goorgi relates, that the Siberi.
ans, in times of scarcity, swallowed a
sort Of clayey earth. M. de Humboldt
says, that the Ottomaks, a people OF
Oronoka, swallow nearly a pound a day
of stony clay, after having slightly wsrm.
ed and moistenod it. The learned
traveller La Billadiere informs US, that
the cannibal inhabitants Of New Gale
donia eat n soft %steatite which is friable
and Of a green color. Lastly in some
negro populations, Mt Senegal, they usu-
ally cook their rice by mixing with it q
considerable quantity Of another species
Of steatife, which is white and u%nctuous,
and which supplies the place Of butter.
Amongst an European nation, where po-
litical %decrepitude seems TO renew the
barbarism of the first dawn Of social in
fancy, we find traces Of geophagy. Pr
mento, which, in a state Of powder, en-
ters INTO almost all the culinary prepa-
ra,ions in vogue in Span, is there COM
bined with a red ochre, called almagra,
brought from Almazaron, in the king
dom Of Murcla. There may be seen on
the stall Of almost all the shops, appear
ances Of a powder resembling ground
brick, and which a stranger would at
first suppose was intended to redden the
floor of the apartments, but which is
used to color and thicken c 1t
is more especially in those sorts Of sausa-
ges called norsiIlas and schorissas, which
form a considerable share of the COM
merce of Estromadura, that the almagro
enters in very large quantities, and suf-
iciently to Cypress the stomachs ofthosc
who are unaccustomed to il. (M. Bory
de 81. Vincent The inaccurncy ofthe
above statement lies merely in the in
duction, that the substances Of an earthly
nature, which arc. made constant
accompaniment of the food, thereby be-
come in themselves nutritive. Earthy or
saline matter may be absorbed into the
system, metallic salts and oxydes may
assist the secretory process, but they
never become assimilated, or are in
themselves capable of sustaining life.
Animal or vegetable matter alone can do
this.

HUMAN ACTIVITY.

A man trained to violent exercise
from his childhood, is said to be capa-
BILE Of d~istancing the fleetest horses, and
of continuing his course when they give
up in WEAKNESS and exhaustion. His
muscular power is immense, as we see
daily proved by the weights raised with
ease by common porters. However,
the exeriions Of our ablest pedestrians
give but a faint idea of the full power
Of a practised runner. The couriers
OF Persia used regularly to traverse 80
leagues in the space of Ia hours; and
some natives Of Africa are reported able
to outstrip the Lion. The savages of
North America pursue the swiftest stays
with such rapidly as to weary and over
take them. They have been known to
travel over the most rugged aud painless
mountains, a distance Of II or IL hum
dred leagues in six weeks or two months.

N TO

The early instruction imbibcd from
a parents life, has the strongest inf1u-
ence in forming the future character
Before the mind is mature enough to
think for Itself, we look to those whom
nature has constituted our guardians, TO
correct and sanction our opinions. In
this way tho parental authority gains a
hold upon the mind Of children, that
never can be annihiIa;eG. And happy
indeed would it be if the result were al
ways the formation oc a noble and manly
character. Intelligent and we'll educa-
ted parents exert a glorious and bone
fetal power; but those who are darken-
ed by ignorance. aud chained by prejn-
Dice, transmit their intellectual qualities,
as well as personal features, to their un
fortunate descendants. When an in
structcr has to deal with the children of
such parents, he has a double difficulty
to encounter. He must meet the igno-
rance and obstinacy Of the one, and give
a right direction to the perverted pow
ers ufthe other. And after he has la
bored with all the assiduity Of ar almost
selEsacrificing zeal, he must consider it
an instance Of rare felicity 10 escape a
torrent Of bitter invective. How many
worthy instructors have had their peace
assailed by the unjust %reproaches Of dis
c~onlented parents? How many parents
have seen cause Of deep aud hearty re-
penisnce that they ever lent q credulous
ear to the complaints of boyish pettish-
ness! Have you a son? Beware how
you make the idle illusions Of an irrita-
ted temper, the ground Of serious accu-
sation against his Intellectual gnide. As
you value The Consciousness Of having
discharged your duty, as you regard the
future re~spectability Of your child; as
you would havo him improve the prec-
ious hours OF youth in gaining those ac-
QUESTIONS that are TO make him q wor-
thy and useful member Of society: be-
ware Of giving your parental coun,e-
nance TO his frivolous complaints. raAse

To MAKE A GOOD WIFE UNHAPPY.-"e
approhend that there are many husbands who
will read tho following with a blush.
See her as seldom as possible. II she
is warm-hcarted and cheerful in temper;
or il, after a days or weeks absence,
she meets you with a smiling face, and
in an afectionate manner. be sure TO
look colby upon her and answer her
with monosyllahIes. IL she fierce back
her tears aud is resolved to look cheer
full, sit down aud gape in her presence
ill she is fully convinced of your indif-
ference. Never think you have any
thing to do, to make her happy; but that
her happiness is TO flow from gratifying
your caprices; and when che has done
all u woman can do, be sure you do not
appear gratifed.-Never take az inter-
est in any of her pursuits; and il sbe asks
your sdvice, make her feel that she is
troublesome and impairment. lfshe at
tempts to rally you good humoredly, on
any of your peculinrities, never join in
the laugh but frown her into silence. If
she has faults, (which, without doubt she
will have, and perhaps may be ignorant
of,) never attempt with kindness to cor
rect them, but continually obarude upon
her ears, 'what a good wife Mr.. -
has, How happy Mr.. - is with
his wife.'-sThat any man would be
happy with such a wife, In company
never seem to Know you have a wife,
treat all her remarks with Indifference,
and be very affable and complaisant to
every other lady.--If you follow these
directions you may be certain Of an o.
bedient and a-heait broken WIFE.
