1t is a question between matrons and their
pretty daughters, discussed with more spirit
as the weather grows finer, whether exer-
else at home be not as beneficial as walking
in the open air. The elder dlsputants admits
the benefit of exercise, and do not condemn
a promenade at proper seasons and at suffi-
cient intervals, but inveigh severely against
the habit Of gadding. The young ladies'
contend that all the doctors pronounce walk
ing natural and salutary process, and assert
that they feel much refreshed and benefited
thereby. Reprobating as much as mothers
can, the practice among some girls OF lolter-
ing and lingering under the public gaze, we
must nevertheless, as it regards the question
of exercise abroad, side with the junior par
lty. Common sense, letting alone the doc
tors, teaches, that walking is both natural
and sautary, and from the same authority,
we may learn, that the clear air of heaven Is
preferable to the confined and often vitiated
atmosphere Of a dwelling. Il is not our pro-
vince to talk learnedly and physologically
about such matters; we only ask what i'm
parts to the village girl, the bloom and hardi
hood, superior to that known in a city? The
answer is obvious; it is the unconstrained
use of powers given her by nature. She is
into premature blossoms, and sustained by
artificial means the fragrance and beauty of
nature are around her, the pure air fans her,
the green earth is her support, and even the
cold dews and fros: invigorate and improve
her, she puts forth the bloom Of lovelness,
that is only heightened by the blast which
would blight the weaker flower.
The city maiden has not SO great advan-
tages, but it is proper that she should enjoy
those that do exist. Leaving her employment
which is usually sedentary, and therefore de-
Inands active exercise, she can find places
where the breeze sweeps over the country or
water, and is, perhaps, as heathful as could
be found far inland; and if she walk steadily
along, gradually increasing her pace, avoid
arranging too often stray ringlet with
white left hand, and Goes not stare, nor creep
with the slowness of a dandy, she will both
be benefited, and escape the title gadder.-|
But the belle who appears in a different dress
every day in the most crowded streets, calls
for patterns and drops them on the floor
lourishes her lily hand bedecked with bril-
liants-saunters struts, ambles, trips, mods
and gigges along, will by SO doing, gain nei-
ther health, admirati on, nora husband.

MISCELLANY.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE Brute CREATION.
1t has been much disputed whether the
brutes have any language whereby they can
express their minds to each other, or whether
all the noise they make consists only OF cries
inarticulate, and uninteligibe even to them
selves. We are, however, too little acquaint-
ed with the intellectual faculties Of these
creatures, to be able to determine this point.
Certain il is that their passions, when excited,
are very generally productive of some pecu-
liar CRY. but whether this be designed as an ex-
preston of the passions to others, or only
mechanical motion of the muscles Of the
larnyx occasioned by the passions, is what
we have no means of knowledge. We may,
indeed from analogy, conclude, with great
that some Of the cries ofbeasts are re-
ally EXPIRE Of their sentiments but wheth-
er one beast is capable Of forming design, 8;
communicating that design by any kind OF
language to others, is what we submit to the
Judgment of the reader, after giving the fol-
lowing instance, which, among others, is
brought as proof of it, by Father Bourgeant:
"a sparrow finding nest that martin had
Just built, standing very conveniently for him,
possessed himself of it. The martin, seeing
the usurper in her house, called strongly for
help to expel hin.-A thousand martins came
in full speed and attacked the sparrow; but
the latter being covered on both sides, and
presenting only his large beak at the entrance
of the nest, was invulnerable, and made the
boldest of them repent their temerty. After
a quarter of an hours combat, all the martins
The sparrow seemed to think
he had got the better, and the spectators
;udoed that the martins had abandoned their
undertaking. Not in the least. In a few
seconds they returned to the charge, and each
of them having produced little Of that tenn
pered earth with which they build their nests,
they all at once fell upon the sparrow and en-
closed him in the nest TO perish there, since
they could not drive him thence!" -.
Can il be imagined that the martins could
nave been able to hatch and concert the de-
,ian. all Of them together, without speaking
o each other, or without some medium
'quivalent to language3

RECIPES.

To take out iron mouids.-Hold the iron
moulds over the fumes Of boiling water for
some time, then pour on the spot little juice
Of sorrel, and little salt, and when the cloth
has thoroughly imbibed the juice, wash it
out in ley.
To remove grease and oil spots from silk and
other aticLes.-Put a small portion of the yolk
of an egg on the spot of grease; then put ov-
or the egg piece Of white linen; wet the
linen in boiling water, and keep rubbing it
with the hand. This process, repeated three
or four times will, in almost all cases, remove
the grease.
Paste for chopped hands.-Wash quarter
of pound of unsalted lard. first in common
and then in rose water, mixed with yoks of
two new laid eggs, and large spoonful of
honey. Add as much fine oatmeal, or al
mond paste, as will work it into paste.
To remope spots ink from linen.-Take a
mould candle or some very pure tallow, melt,
and dip the spotted part Of linen in the melt
ed tallow, then put it into the wash, when it
will become perfectly white. This given
from experience.

A SpRISe MoRNINs.-To walk abroad a.
mong rural scenery, on fine sunny morn
ing, is to ralnble in the temple Of the Deity,
and witness the creative process every day,
almost every hour, witnesses some change !:
buds, blossoms, leaves and flowers are woven
by unseen hands, painted by invisible artists,
and perfumed from "ylals full OF odors sweet"
we look upon them in the morning with
surprise and pleasure, while the first dew and
sunbeam are visiting them. What an admi-
rable and perfect taste must he have, who
performs all this There is no noise, no
useless display. The Creator therein teach
res modesty to his creatures. His goodness
is also visabe-the blossoms soon perish, but
their hue and fragrance are the breathings of
a benevolent mind. Look at the multitude
Of little heaps of sand, that lie in the path,
and suffer your eye to rest for moment up
on the busy and apparently happy insect that
brings out his grain ofsand. Nothing seems
too minute and insignificant for the Almigh-
ty to put his hand upon and invest with fac
ultes o: intelligence and happiness.-[ Bos-
ton Courier.

PUNcTUALITY.-The general character and
disposition of a person, may with almost alb
solute certainty, be estimated by the manne.
in which he acts, in regard to the little af-
fairs Of life. lie who is punctual to pay a
small debt, is trusted with a larger amount.
without reluctance or suspicion on the part
of the creditor. And as long as he maintains
spirit of punctuality to his engagements,
just so long he sustans faithful character,
and one in which the most implicit confidence
may, and will be reposed. This, though one
of the most excellent, is still one of the rar-
est pearls, that grace the lives of men. What
trait has been at the base of all the other
excellencies in the lives and characters of
those who have appeared in the front ranks
Of the good and great? Punctualty. This
is the very soul and life-spring of business
II is the support of social concord, and the
dependence and strength OF all our civil or
der and happiness. 1t is the cement Of polit-
ical union, and the strongest and only safe
guard of national peace and prosperity.

There is melancholy, no doubt by which
the intellect is expanded, while the heart is
made better; tempered sadness, a sober
earnestness which by occasionally recalling
us to the contemplation of an ideal world,
softens and refreshes those feelings which
habtual intercourse with society is apt to
harden. This is that melancholy which is
the true source of poetical inspiration be-
cause while it refines our feelings, and en-
larges the sphere Of our conceptions, it leaves
us as active as ever in the exercise Of our So
cial duties, and thus preserve that mental
equilibrium, that balance of the intellect, the
feelings, and the fancy, which is the charac-
teristic Of the highest order of genius. Very
different are its effects, when it is carried to
excess. Excessive melancholy, like exces-
sive levty, is selfish feeling. 1t renders us
solitary, suspicious, querulous and deadens
our sympathy for others, while it increases
our sensibility for ourselves. Those social
energies which should connect us with our
fellow men, grow indolent and dormant, the
active duties of life are forgotten in the pas
sive: gradually we lose our relish for the
common and natural feeling, the simple mirth
and tears that make up the mass of human
life, and learn to substitute glaring and dis
torted portraits, which are the reflection of
our own morbid pecuarities, for those sim
pier forms Of universal truth and beauty,
whic all hearts acknowledge at once and
admire. [.4non.
