From a Manuscript YoLunae Of Laconic'


BY REV. W. COTTON, Z. 6. n.
The destinies Of nation depend less
on the greatness of the few, than the
virtues or vices of the many. Eminent
individuals cast further the features of
her glory or shame, but the realities OF
her veal or wo lie in the great mass.
The curling tops of lofty waves are the
crest of the ocean, but from It's depths
flows the overpowering strength OF Its
tides.
A lady of fashion will sooner excuse
freedom, flowing from admiration,
than slight, resulting from Indifference
The first offence has the pleasing apollo
cv of her attractions; the last Is bold,and
without an alienation. But the mode
in which she disposes of the two only
shows that her love of admiration Is
stronger than her sense of proprlety-
He who maintains the right, though
countenanced by the few, and opposes
the wrong. though sanctioned By the
many. must forego all expectations oil
popularity till there shall be less TO cen
sure than applaud in human conduct
And when this is the case the millennium
VIII have dawned-
A young girl. scarcely yet awake te
the mysteries of her nature, and iutter
ing over the first demonstrations Of Love
is like child sporting on the ripping
strand of the sea, when high tide i
about coming IN.

The Old Clock.
"ilERE SHE GOES, THERE SHE GoES!'-
Some wears ago there came to this coun-
trya family from England, which set
tied on the upper part Of this island and.
opened a public house, among their chat
ties was an old family clock which they
priced more for its age than its actual
value, although it had told the hour for
years on years with the utmost com
mendable fidelity This clock is now
situated in one of the private parlours
Of the house, and many n time has been
the theme of remark in consequence of
ITS solemn and antique exterior.
A few days since, about dusk, a coup
ie Of mad wags drove up to the door Of
the hotel, seated in light and beautiful
wagon, drawn by superb bay horse.
They sprang out-ordered the ostler to
stable him for the night. Entering the
Motel they tossed off a glass of wine
piece bemothered a cigar, and directed
lhe landlord TO provide the best game

bath, even more than from warm bathing is found
ed on false analogy between It's effects and those
OF profuse perspiraion from exercise or illness
The latter weakens the body, and, by diminishing
the power OF reaction, renders 1t Susceptible of in
Jury rom sudden changes of temperature. But
the effect of the vapor-bath properly administered
is very different. When moi too warm or too
lOng continued, IT increases instead of exhausing
the strength, and by exciting the vital action Of
the skin gives rise 10 power of reaction which
enables 1t 10 resist cold better than before This
have heard many patients remark and the fact is
well eXempted in Russia and the north of Europe
where in The depth of winter II is not uncommon
for the natives 10 rush out Of vapor-bath and
roll themselves IN the snow, and be refreshed BY
dong so; whereas, were they 10 attempt such a
practice after severe perspiratIon from exercise
they would inevitably suffer. 1t is the previous
stimulus given TO the skin by the vapor- bath which
IS the real safeguard against the coldness of the
snow.
The vapor-ba,h is thus calculated to be exten-
sive useful, both as preSeIvatiYe and as rem
edlal agent. Many a cold and many rheumatic
attack arising from checked perspIration or long
exposure TO the weather might be nipped in the
