MANNERS.

Attention to manners may not appear, at first
view. to have any connection with health. But
it is 80. All our habits of body and mind
are 80 intimately related, that their mutual influ-
ence is great, and not one of these habits can
be named that does not, directly or indirectly,
Affect the health. And I maintain that gentle
manly manners prevalent in good society are IA
vorable to health. speak not here of Chester
feldan niceness, nor of Chesterieldian absurd-
ties; but OF those fundamental rules of polite.
ness which regulate the conduct of gentle.
man. These principles dispose him to treat
others with urbanity, kindness and due respect !;
to make him extremely cautious of injuring
their feelings, diminishing their reputation, or
throwing obstacles in the way of their enjoy
ment. And on the contrary, it is a leading SUBJ
ject in all its intercourse with others, to make
them happy not, indeed, by any sacrifice of
truth or principle, but by exhibiting disposition
to befrend them; to overlook their minor fail
ings; and to give them credit for every virtue
which they really exhibit. Now, such treat
ment from our fellow men has powerful ten.
dency to buoy up the mind, and to make it cheer.
full; and thus to promote the health. And by
cultivating such feelings towards others, we
shall perceived happy reaction upon ourselves /;
contributing not little to bodily. as we'll as

REMEDY FOR CHINESE LYING.


A chinese silversmth to whom the English
gave the name of Tom Workwell, brought home
some silver spoons, as he called them, to cap
tain Of ship who had ordered them. The gen.
tleman suspecting his friend Tom had played
him trick common in China, of adding no small
quantity of tutenague to the usual proportion of
alloy, taxed him with the cheat, which he deni-
ed, with the strongest asseverations Of his nno-
cence. The Captain then told him he had brot
with him famous water, called lie water, which
being placed upon the tongue of person sus-
pected Of telling an!untruth, if the case were so,
burned hole; if otherwise, the party escaped
with honor and unhurt. Tom, thinking it a
trick, readily consented, upon which, with much
form, single drop Of aquafortis was put OH his
ton que =; he jumped about the room in violent
pain, crying out, "Very true, half tutenague,'
in hopes that confessing the fact might stop the
progress of the lie water, which, from the pair
he felt, he had some reason to believe possessed
the qualities ascribed to it. Several Europeans
who were present, and who had bought different
pieces Of plate from him, now put similar ques.
lions 10 him, and he confessed it had been his
constant and uniform practice to add very large
quantity of tutenague to every article made at
his shop, for which, during the continuance Of the
pain, he promised ample reparation.

otherwise to the Wing party. We welcome

THE QUAKER GIRL.
by MISS LESLIE.

'Mother,' said Clementine Selbury one
morning, as she stood near the window, ta-
king off her bonnet and cloak latter her return
from dancing-school, how should hate to
be quaker
Mrs. Selbury.-You express yourself with
far too much vehemence, Clementine. The
word hate is too strong to be used by young
girl, on any occasion whatever. But what
makes you think ofquakers just now! =
Clementine. because / this moment saw
Mrs. Doveridge pass by, leading little girl
in each hand, and her eldest daughter follow
ed her with two more, all on their way homo
from what they call Fifth day meeting
Now, should dislike to see my mother wear
stif1brown rattinet gown, plain book mus
lin handkerchief, with grey silk one pinned
over it, little tight cap without either lace
or ribbon, close black bonnet, and drab-
colored cloth cloak with narrow collar
Oh! how diherentfr from your beautiful French
silk coat, and your elegant hat trimmed with
blond and feathers.
Mrs. S.-Her eldest daughter Edith is GER
tainly very pretty girl.
Cit is a pity, then, that she should be
dsfgured with that brown cloth coat, and
that plain white silk bonnet. And then to
see all her younger sisters with the same sort
of brown cloth coats, and little Leghorn bon
nets without single bow on them-nothing
but band round the crown, and strings of
plain white ribbon. How can they bear to
be drest in such manner? How different
from me, in my white beaver bonnet, and
my pink merino cloak lined with white silk
What miserably dull life they must lead
To think that they have no music or dan
cling, no balls,-and that they never 60 to
the theatre. How l should dislike to live
with quakers (!
Mrs. ST. am afraid, Clementine, If your
prejudice against quakers is so great, you
must give up your expected visit to Philadel-
phia, notwithstanding that your father has al
most promised TO take you with him next
week, when he goes thither on business.
Cit would be dreadful to me to give up
my jaunt 10 Philadelphia. But cannot l be
there without living among quakersl am
sure all the people of Philadelphia are not
what they call Friends. ....,... 80,
Mrs. S.-When your father was last in
that city, his old acquaintance, Mr.. Ems
worth, (who is very plain quaker, and con-
forms in every respect to the primitive man
ners of his sect, made him promise TO bring
his eldest daughter with him the next time he
came to Philadelphia, and to allow her to
stay at his house. He wished your father
also to be his guest. but he prefers taking up
his residence at hotel, according to his usu-
al custon when he is from home. There
fore, il you go to Philadelphia at all, you'
place of abode must be at Mr. Emsworlh's
Citizen believe l would rather moi

Mrs. S.-Very well, your sister will be
happy to take your place.

been there in my life. Every one calls il

ORIGIN OF DISEASE.

The celebrated DR.. Abernethy said:
IL tell you honestly what think is the cause
Of the complicated malades of the human frame !;
it is their gormandzng and stuffing, and stimu-
latng the digestive organs to excess, thereby
producing nervous disorder and irritation. The
state Of their minds is another grand cause.-the
fdgeting and dscontenting themselves about
that which cannot be helped malignant pas.
sions and worldly cares pressing on the mind,
disturb the cerebral action, and do great deal
Of HARM" These are certainly excellent hints
for the present unsettled times.

WANTED, A GOvERNEss.

Wanted governess, genteel and steady, H..
Sweet tempered, and graceful, and forty about:
To superintenda juvenile lady,
Whose parents intend her next spring to 'comeout.'
She must be at small talk remarkably clever,
Be well-versed in gossip, and little light news,
And when she is called upon, talk on forever,
And never grow tired, and never refuse.
Modern languages too she must know them com
petely.
And epigrams make most brilliant and terse,
And when ordered must fill an album page neatly,
In exquisite prose, or in beautiful verse.
In music (of course) she must be a proficient
And meier have cold, when called on to sing
But must be at all seasons and hours efficient,
In a duet, or glee, or that kind of thing.
She must, too, design well, and draw most diynely
Paint fire. screens pretty, and knit silk purse
Carve small amber baskets, and ormolu finely,
And when her pupils are ill-act as nurse.
These gifts, and some more too tedious to mention,
The parents make sure in one lady TO meet,
And forty pounds yearly, it's their intention,
To give, and to board her, in Torrngton-

A HINT.

It is not the money earned that makes man
wealthy so much as what he saves from his earn
ings. A good and prudent husband makes de-
post of the fruits Of his labor with his best friend
and il that friend be not true to him, what has
be to bopei 1.-The dare not place confidence in
the companion Of his bosom, where is he to place
IL. A wife acts not for herself only, but she is
the agent Of many she loves. and she is bound
TO act for their good. not for her own gvatiica-
,ion. Her husbands good is the end to which
she should aim-his appreciation and love is her
reward.

new, and had only been brought home from
the weaver's few weeks before; and she
learned also that the cutting and sewing slips
of cloth was business that, like quilting. on
ly went ON in the summer, among metlodica(
people.
Clementine was again at loss, and no
one seemed disposed to CRAFTY her curiosity.
in spite Of the hints which she could not avoid
dropping. One morning, the father Of Mrs.
Ellsworth, a fine venerable looking old far
mer, arrived fromth country, and Lydia was
Immediately sent for to come down and sec
her grandfather Wilson. She came Instant
ly; the meeting was very affectonate on both
sides, land Clemen,ine, finding that ydia was
likely to remain some time in the parlor, de.
termined to avail herself Of an opportunity
she had long been watching for, aud, by slip.
ping into Lydia's room during her absence,
she hoped 10 be able to satisfy her curiosity.
She accordingly taking her book with her
as if she was going to read in her own apart
ment) glided on tiptoe into Lydia's room, and
looked about for some traces of her friends
mysterious occupation. She saw on the bed
new shirt, on which Lydia had evidently
been sewing the ruffle. The linen and CAM
brio were of the most exquisite fineness, the
shirt was made in the newest fashion, and the
frl had half dozen little tucks along the
edge, scarcely broader than thick thread
Of cotton. Nothing could surpass the exquis.
ite neatness of the work.
Clementine's perplexity was now greater
than ever. She knew that Mr.. Ellsworth
wore no rufTles on his shirts, neither did any
relations ofthe family and this shirt was ev-
identity not intended for poor person. She
knew not what 10 think. Why Lydia should
choose to occupy herself in this manner, and
with such unremtting industry,-why it
should be kept profound secret by the fam.
lily, was to Clemen,ine subject of the great.
est amazement.
She still held the shirt in her hand, when,
to her shame and confusion, the door opened,
and Lydia appeared. Clementine started.
F and let fall the shirt; and Lydia stood mo.
tonless with surprise that Clemenline's Gu.
rosty should have led her TO take such dis
honorable means to penetrate the secret, and
with regret that her little mystery shoule 10

r and Clementne hesitated, faltered, but could
frame no apology, and a, last burst into tears.
Lydia then advanced, took her hand, and

A RESULT OF THE EXPLORING ExPEprrros-
IAN important addition has been, or ultimately
will be, made to our collections, by the labors Of
the exploring expedition. The number Of live
plants brought home amounts to between two
hundred and three hundred species, among them
several new fruit trees from the East Indies,
The collection of seeds embraces many hund.
red knes, from all the various places where the
expedition touched, among them many of the
erlcas, from the Cape Of Good Hope, and the
splendid pinus Lambertiana and others, from The
Columbia river. The seeds were placed under
the direction Of the National Institute at Wash.
ington, and have been lib rally distributed bv
DR.. Pickering, the curator. For the growth Of
the live plants, green house, 90 feet long, has
been erected on the vacant ground in the rear
OF the Patent Office. Part OF this has been nar.
titioned of, as store or hot house for the trop.
ical plants and fruits. These, wher increa..6
will probably be distributed among the nurserv
men Of the country horticultural !Nseesirs
