The custom Of kissing the ladies by their
relations and lovers, was originated by the
ancient Romans, not out of respect to the
fair, but to find by respiring their breath
whether they had been drinking wine,-a
crime that if thus detected disgraced any
ladies found guilty off and excluded them
from all elegant and virtuous circles OF
fashionable society,-and hence it became
an adge in Rome, to say that those females
who sacrifice to Bacchus, will as certainly
make their clandestine offerings at the altar
of Venus.
What philosophers those Romans were
kissing in the abstract, was nothing "a
them.-They found no pleasure in il. The
lips, where dwelt the loves, were so far as
any pleasurable sensation derived from
contact with them was concerned, on n par
with the lips of mummes.-They kissed
not as pleasure, but as a solemn duty, be.
cause they wished to ascertain whether the
fair sisterhood had been too free with the
bottle. Our word upon it, they made the
experiment many times during the twenty
four hours and we doubt not the Roman
madiens were so devoted in their support
of the doctrines of the Temperance Socie.
ties of those days, that they were always
ready TO be put to the test and prove by
osculatory demonstration adherence of

The OHcr.--The disposition of the otter
is singular and interesting. Their favorte
sport is sliding, and for this purpose, in
winter the highest ridge of snow is selec-
ted, 10 the top of whchthe offers scramble,
where, laying on the belly, with the fore
feet bent backwards, they give themselves
an impulse with the hind legs, and swiftly
glide head foremost down the declivitv,
sometimes for the distance of twenty yards.
This sport they continue apparently with
the keenest enjoyment, until fatigue or hun
ger induces them to desst In the sum-
mer this amusement is obtained by seIec-
ting spot where the river bank is sloping,
has clayey soil, and the water at its base
is Of considerable depth. The offers then
remove from the surface, for the breadth of
several feet, the sticks, roots, stones and
other distractions, and render the surface as
level as possible. They climb up the bank
Mt less precipitous spot, and starting from
the top, slip with velocity over the inclining
ground and plump into the water to a depth
proportioned to the weight and rapidity of
motion. After few slides, the surface of
the clay becomes very smooth and slippery
and the rapid succession of the sliders show
how much these animals are delighted by
the sport, as well as how capable they are
of performing actions which have no other
object than that of pleasure or diversion.

Ropldnd Hills resemblance TO Uhiiefeld
Whiteileld's jealous spirit exhausted all its
energies IN preaching; and his full dedca-
ton to God was honored by unbounded
success. The effect produced by his
sermons was understandable, arising in a
great degree from the most perfect forget
fnlness of SELF during the solemn moment
OF declaring the salvation that is in Christ
Jesus. His evident sincerity impressed
every nearer, and is said TO have forcibly
struck Lord Chesterfield, when he heard

sessed similar powers of eloquence, and
was actuated by the same selfdenying

to have been last in the same mould. His
doctrines, his preaching talents, his popular
lty, his want of any definite system, were
all Whitehead again. AT an early period,
Mr. Hill had the cordial support, and was
commended by Mr. Wesley. But when
these good men separated, Mr. Hill espous-

object of the author to makea treatise,
strictly practical, emitting nothing of i'm

or cXuaneous character.
As making the raw material into Sew

the Silk grower, all necessary information

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

In the management of domestic concerns order
and method should be observed, and all hurry and
confusion ought to be carefully avoided. five could
begin at the right end of the thing, it must be in the
morning of life; this is an essential point
Sleep should never be considered a luxury,
but only as a necessary refreshment to invgorate
the body and prepare il for further exertons There
fore the propricty and advantage of early rising
should be, by example and precept, fixed on the
youthful mind.
When these ideas are fixed, and the practice of
them have become habitual, business may be pur-
sued without anxiety, and scolding and hurrying
which tends to irritate the temper, avoided. by
pursuing this method, the numerous cares i'm far.
mcr's family are rendered easy and agreeable, and
to woman who has been properly instructed. and
who has knowledge Of her own concerns, it is a
source of peculiar satisfaction know that what she
requires of her domestcs, is consistent with the OBJ
legations they are under to her.
The mistress who treats them with mildness and
suitable attention, lis generally much better served
than she who treats them with hardness and severi-
y. Their love and attachment creates desire to
please, and these mutual interests contribute very
much to the quietude aud happiness Of al! around.
By this mode of procedure there is much time for
literary pursuits, which are highly important.
1t is from the MOTHER that the early education OF
children is mostly received. II is the example at
home that will educate them; your conversation,
the business they see you transact, the lkngs and

Snufers.-A gentleman travelling IN the interior of
Brazil put up for the night a farm house, fur
nished in the primitive style Of the country hut on
the table, in company with long tallow candle,
were placed handsome pair of plated shutters and
their stand, which he had, received as a present
from Rio Jnneiro. "What conveniences you in

" before received this pretty present, used after
taking off the candle snuff, to throw it about the
floor, or throw it, by chance, on the bench where
was sitting, or over my clothes but now, mark the
difference !" So saying, he pinched off the long
snuff between his thumb and finger, put it carefully
into the snuffers, and closed them up with look of
trium ph, at his highly amused spectator.
