NERVOUS DISORDERS.

One of the most frequent complaints
of literary men is disorder OF the nery-
GUS system. Other men of sedentary ha-
bits are also liable to them. but iii less
degree. The solitary exercise Of the
MUD seems to nearly double the injury
which would result from mere contine-
ment. The best cure fer almost all aztec
tiocs Of the nerves is Tow generally ac-
knowledged 10 be physical hardshtps.
Something more is needful than pleasant
exercise, which, though it promotes the
circulation Of the blood, and other health
full functions, Is not calculated sufficient
" to blunt and harden tie senslb.itY,
which i'll nervous people Is too acute.
There is no disease. however, which
meets with SO little compassion and sym
pathy as a mere nervous disorder. Yet
they are the most difficult diseases IN the
whole catalogue Of durable complaints, TO
be managed by the physician or the patti
ent. And bow numerous are the instan-
ces in which the very profession by which
the patient earns his livelihood, and
which his INDECENT circumstances Will not
permit him TO relinquiob, is the cause OF
his disease. lie must, in this case, eIll-
er continue an invalid, or renounce his
only means Of obtaining subsistence.
That equivocaI state between actual
health aud acknowledged disease. which
seldom excites alarm, or. even compass
sion for the subject OF it, is often the most
truly calami:ous condition OF human lie.
IL pine," says Or. Johnson, in one o!
lis letters, .in the solitude OF sickness,
not bad enough to be pltied, and not welt
enough to be endured.'' Such is the feel
ing Of many patient, who aoors under
the Indebtedness of too much nervous
senslbliity and too little bodily Vlgor,
Johnson. it is said, was never SO great as
when he was gloomy. All his writings

johnson been & plougbman. his mind
would never have exhibited that energy,
or betrayed that imbecility, which were
his character sites. The very Efforts
which are used by student, during his
SOLITARY hours of confinement and study.
to acquire knowledge and strengthen his
mind for noble tasks, are the cause OF
that physical and nervous imbeclIlty with
which ne is SO often affected. Boston

bank.
Hodge expressed his wanderment at
the open jaws and sharp teeth of Mr..
Pike, aud was advised by the lawyer, to
put his finger in the ish's mouth, By way
of an experiment. g Noa. noa,' said
Hodge, shut he may just taxi a grip o
ny dogs tail, if he loike.' Suiting the
action TO the word, he inserted the tip ct
the dogs tail between the jaws of the
pike, which were instantly closed. A
way went the dog, and away went the
fish dangling to his tail, to the high graft
fication of the countrymen, and to the
dismay OF the cunning lawyer. The lat
ter raised shout of stop thief, and en-
treated Hodge to call back his dog +; but
calling was of no use, they were soon out
of sight; and the fish, irretrievably lost
to the quill-driver, was soon deposited
beneath the humble roof of the viIlager,
who left the lawyer endeavoring to catch
another fish, but not very well pleased at
being outwtted by rustic. who had thus
proved himself to be the ceyerer convey

INVENTION OF PAPER Paper is said
to have been invented by the Arabians,
about the year 706; and in the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries it was manufac.
tured 20 a considerable extent from cotton
and linen. II was worthy Of remark,
however, that although paper was manu-
featured as early as the beginning Of the
eighth century, no manuscript upon paper
is known to exist of an earlier date than
the year l270-parchment and vellum
we're probably preferred because they
were Of less destruciible quality. When
the ar, Of printing was discovered, paper
came into general use, because Of its
cheapness and superior adaptation to the
purpose Of printing. The long time which
elapsed before the introduction Of paper
