POPULAR ERRORS.

The human body, IN our climate, IL al
ways much warner Than the atmosphere,
and is constantly throwing off heat. All
substances in respect of heat, are called
good and bad conductors. If we apply
our hand to the carpet it will appear toll
eraby warm, because ii is bad conduc-
tor aud takes no heat from us. If we
next touch the floor which is of wood.
and, therefore, although bad one, bet.
ter conductor than the carpet, il will ap
pear somewhat cold, as it takes some OF
the heat Of our hand away. Iron, all
metals (be'ng eminenlly good conductors
will abstract greater quantity Of heat
from us, so that when we came TO touch
that, it will appear very cold from the loss
Of heat which our body immedlatel. ex-
perionces. The same lallacious testimo-
ny Of the touch would induce us TO be-
lIeve that water is really much colder
than it is. When we take the cold bath,
VIC experience chilly sensation in pas
sing out Of the atmosphere into the wa
ter, although thermometer will tell us
that both are of the same temperature;
this IS because it has property peculiar
to itself by which it absoIbs and aud car
ries away whatever heat may be brought
in contact with ii, and which is equiva-
lent in its results 10 the property OF a con-
ductor, Thus it will appear tina, what
seems to be IA cold sensation received f. ON
other objects is, IN realty, nothing more
than the loss Of heat in touching them;
and thus it is evident tlat the author of the
universe formed our senses to answer the
ordinary purposes of life, and gave us i'll
tellect to correct their errors, and enables
US to apply them to higher and nobler
purposes of science DR.. Lardner.

SIX ATlNG.

Many accidents to skaters, from air holes
and thin ice. are recorded in the newspa>
pers, coupled with cautions to the iuven-

the fact of growing wiser by other peo-

tons have but little effect There is one
safeguard, however, which might easily
be resorted to on doubtful ice, that of car
ryng stout stick, about four or five feet
long, held horizontally in both hands,

THE ASS in THE LION IS SKIN.

An affair occurred few days ago in
one Of our fashionable streets, that has
occasioned no little merriment among
those TO whom the circumstances are
known. They are as follows:
A certain tail ,r in Maiden Lane was
paying his honorable addresses to
young lady of beauty, accomplishments
and expectations, and had reason TO con-
graduate himself on their reception, ill
he vas suddenly and totally eclipsed by
the mouslaches' and imperial Of a Young

the following cpistle:

AFFECTION OF SUAvITY.-Lacon says
there are some who affect want ofailec-
talion. and llatter themselves that they are
above flattery: they are proud of being
thought extremely humble, and would 90
round the world to punish those who
thought them capable of revenge; they are
so satisfied of the suavity of their own
temper that they would quarrel with their
dearest benefactor only for doubling it,
And yet SO very blind are all their ac-
quanlances to these their numerous quail
ifcations and merits, that the posscssors

too late, that they have lived in the world
without a single friend, and are about to

Our Parents.
w c. p.

Respect to aged parents we consider
one of the greatest virtues. There is no
period in life, when our fathers and mo-
theirs do not claim our attention, our love,
and our warmest affection. From youth
to manhood, from middle age to ripper
years, if our honored parents survive, II
should be our constant study how we can
best promote their welfare and happiness
and smooth the pillow Of their declining
years. Nothing better recommends an
individual, than his attention to his pa
rents. Permitting them to share in his
prosperity and his honors, without bur-
dening them with his perplexi'ies and tri-
ais, is a mark of true affection and will
be source of consolation through life.
There are such duliGul children; men
whose highest ambition seems TO be the
promotion of the happiness Of their faith
ers and mothers. They watch over them
with unwearlcd carc-supply them with
all their wants, and by their attention and
kindness, remove all care and sorrow from
their hearts On the contrary, there are
others who seem never to bcstow a
thought upon their parents, and to care
but little whether they are comfortably ST.
tuated or otherwise. BY their conduct,
they increase their cares, emblter their
lives, and bring their grey hairs with sor-
row to the grave. SrlIishness has steeled
their hearts to the whisperings OF affection,
and avarice denies to their parents those
favors which would materially assist
them in the downhill of life. Others too,
by course of pronigacy and vice, have
drained to the very dregs, their parents
cup of happiness, and made them anxious
for death to release them from their sul-
ferings. Oh +! how fearful must be the
doom Of those children, who have thus
embiltered the lives of their honored pa
rents! If there is 'word of woe,' be-
yond the precincts Of the tomb, surely they
cannot escape its horrors.
There can be no happier reflection,
than that derived from the thought of
having contributed all in our power to
the comfort and the happiness of our faith
ers and mothers. When called away
from our presence, as sooner or later thew
may be, the thought will be sweet, that
our efforts and our cares smoolhed their
decline Of life, SO that they departed in
comfort and peace. If it were otherwise
if we denied them what their circum-
stances or necessities required-and our
hearts were not like.ihe neither mill stone,
it must prove thorr in our flesh, to
sprinkle our days with sorrow and re-
greet.
Ye who are blest with parents now, be
careful of your treatment to them. Re
ceive mildly their reproofs, listen to their
counsels, ard obey them. If they are a.
ged and their days have dwindled to
SPAR think no care too great for you to
bestow upon them, no money loolishly
spent, that will purchase their comfort,
and no time thrown away, that is devoted
to their happiness. Honor. respect and
love them. Spare no efforts in their be-
half, and do nothing that will give th7m
