EGYPTIAN MUMMIEs.

Mr.. Buckingham gives it ashis opin-
ion that there arc not less than one
hundred million of mumrnies entombed
in Egypt, and he describes three SIN
gular uses that are now made of them.
For Fuel--The peasantry of Egypt
procure them, break them in pieces,
and use them for fuel7-and as they
have little or no wood, those dead hu-
man bodies serve them in its stead
The resinous matter and spices which
were used in embalming them render
them quite inflammable, and the door
which is given out at the period OF bur-
ming, is said to be quite delightful.
For Medical purposes-ln most OF the
bodies there is found solid portions OF
the bitumen, or resinous drug which
was used in embalming. This is TAX
en- out of the bodies and sold in large
quantities to Merchants at Cairo, and
from thence it is sent to Portugal, ltaiys
France and England even, where it 10
pulverised by the apothecaries, done
up in small papers, and sold as a most
excellent drug to cure inward bruises.
And for this purpose hundreds OF
pounds of this stuff is eaten early, ia
ken from the inside Of Egyptian mum
mics. ts@
The other use made Of them is for
painting. A celebrated Painter in
England informed MIR. Buckingham
that the backbone Of the Egyptian
mummy. when it is ground sufficiently
fine, made the most excellent brown
color of ans material known.

how TO CHOOSE GOOD HUSBAND.

When you see young man OF mod
ett, respectful, retiring manners, not
given 10 pride, vanity, or fattery, he
will make good husband; for he will
be the same kind of a man towards his
wife after marriage that he was be-
lore.
When you see young man whose
manners are OF the boisterous and dis
gushing kind, with brass enough TO car
ry them any where, and vanity enough
to make every one inferior to himself
do not marry him, for he never will
make good husband.
When you see young man. who is
using his best endeavors to raise him
self from obscurity to credit, character
and aflluence. by his own merits, mar
ry him; he will make good husband
and worth having.
When you see a young man depend
ing solely for his reputation and stand
ing in society, upon the wealth of his
father or relations-don't marry him
for Gods sake, he will make poor
husband
When you see a young man one
half ofhi time employed in adjoining
his person or riding through the streets
in gigs, who leaves bis debts unpaid, al
though frequently demanded--nevel
marry him. for he willmak a very baC
husband.
When you see young man who ne
yer engages in any afrays or quarrel
by day, nor follies by night, and whose
general conduct is not of SO mean
character as to make him wish to con
ceal his name, he will certainly make
good husband.
When young man who is below
you in wealth, offers you marriage
don't deemit disgrace, but look int
his character; and if you find it to cor
respond with these directions, take
him, and you will get good husband.
Never make money an object ofmar
riage; for if you depend on it as a bal.
ance for the good. you will get poor
husband.
Lastly, examine into character con-
duct and motives, aud when you find
these good qualities in a young man,
then you may be sure he will make a
good husband.

ETERNITY.

That the conception of eternity ma,
be more distinct and affecting it is use
full to represent it as under some tenn
poral reSemblances that sensibly, though
not fully represent it. Suppose that
the vast ocean were distilled drop by
drop, how many millions of years were
required to empty it? Suppose this
great world in its full compass from one
pole to another, and from the top OF
the armament, to the bottom, were to
be filled with the smallest sand, but SO
slowly that every thousand years only
a single grain should be added, how
many millions would pass away before
it be filIed9 Ifthe immense supertices
of Heaven, wherein are innumcrable
stars, the least of which equals the mag
nitude of the earth, were filled with
figures of numbers without the least
space, and every figure signihed a mill
ion, what created mind could tell their
numbers, much less their valuea Hav-
ing these thoughts reply-thc sea will
be emptied drop by drop, the universe
filled with grain by grain, numbers
written IN the heavens will come to an
end, and how much Of eternity is then
spent7 nothing, fol still infinitely more
remains.

ANEcDoTE OF BRANr.

In Colonel Stones Life of Brant, is the
following interesting anecdote of that eel
ebrated Mohawk Chief. The incident
occurred while he was sojourning in Eng
land and mingling in the fashionable cir
cles of the Metropolis:
"During his stay in London, grand
fancy ball, or masquerade, was got up with
great splendar and numerously attended
by the nobility and gentry. Captain Brant,
at the instance of Earl Molra, was also,
present, richly dressed in the costume Of
his nation, wearing no mask, but painting
one half of his face.-His plumes nodded
in his cap as though the blood of humid
red Percies coursed through his veins,
and his tomahawk glistened in his girdle
like FURNISHED silver There was like
wise, in the gay and gallent throng, a
stately Turkish Diplomat Of rank, accom-
panied by two hours, whose attention was
particularly attracted by the grotesque
appearance of the chieftain's singular, and,
as he supposed fantastic attire. The pa
geant was as brilliant as the imagination
could desire; but among the whole mot
ley throng Of pilgrims and warriors, her
mits and shepherds, knights, damselS, and
gipsies, there was to the eye of the Mus
SULLIVAN, no character so picturesque and
striking as that of the Mohawk; which,
being natural, appeared to be the best
made up. He scrutinized the chief very
closely, and installing his rouge etnoir
complexion for painted visor, the Turk
took the liberty Of attempting to handle
his nose. Brant had, of course watched
the workings of his observation, and felt
in the humour Of little sport. No soon.
err, therefore, had the Hassan touched his
facial point of honor, under the mistaken
idea that it was of no better material thar
the parchment nose Of the Strasburgt
trumpeter, than the chieftain made the
hall resound with the appalling warhoop
and at the same instant the tomahawl
leaped from his girdle, and flashed arount
the astoundcd Mussulman's head, as though
bis good master, the Sultan in minute
more, would be relieved from any future

HOW AMAN FEELS WHEN ABOUT TO GET

HOW A MAN FEELS WHEN ABOUT TO GET
MARRIED.
It is said to be serious thing for a
girl to leave mama, and entrust herself
to the keeping of the man Of her heart.
No doubt it is so, but we propose to
show that even the sterner sex cannot
surrender up their singieness without
some misgiyings and trepidation.
In the first place, then, the victim Of
matrimony feels that he must surren-
der up the companions with whom he
has so long held close commandments
evenings, instead Of being spent at the
club or the gaming house, must be de
voted to charming youn creature,
whose guiltless heart must find very diff
ferent Instrumentation that to which
he has been accustomed. But this is
not all. lie knows that after he has
become bound In the silken cord DINA
trimony, he is no longer welcome visi-
tant in those circles where, while free,
wreathing smiles and glowing eyes
strove to wreath net for his feet.
He knows that while ''bachelor il
welcome wherever he goes" married
man is regarded as one dead-and
crossed off the books, no longer ''avail
able" to the fair, In addition to al
these unhappy circumstances, he has

A friend of ours suggests that here
after if s'young ladies" should discover
holes in their black silk stockings just

their mothers should be too conscien-

the Chapel Hill remedy, !. e. black the
