HUMAN GREATNESS.


Sir John Mason, privy counsellor to
Henry VII, spoke as follows, upon his
death bed:--
( have seen the most remarkable
things abroad, and been present at
most state transactions for thirty years.
After this experience, l have learned
this: that seriousness is most common
dable, temperance the best estate. =
Were to live again, would change
the court for. the cloister; my cprivy
councillors for the retirement of a her
init; and the whole time which I have
spent in the palace, for one hours
communion with God. ''s -
When / look upon the tombs of the
great, every emotion Of envy dies;
when | read the epithets of the beau
Itiful, every inordinate desire forsakes
me; when meet with the grief of pa
rents upon the tombstone, my hear,
melts with compassion; when see the
tombs of the parents themselves, l re,
fleet how vain it is to grieve. for those
whom we must quickly follow; when
see beings living by the side of those
that despise them-when behold RI
val wits placed side by side, or the ho-
Iy men who divided the world with
their contests and. Disputes, l reflect
with sorrow and establishment on the
frivolous competitions, fractions and
debates Of Mankind; when l read the
several dates of the tombs of whom
some died yesterday and some six
hundred years ago, am reminded Of
that day, when all mankind will be CO.

minute. We have known persons
after. severe exercise, experience the
same result. Sufficient particulars
have not yet reached US to enable US to
form correct opinion as TO the man
ner IN which these shocks are gwen -
The gymmotus, torpedo and silurus,
can unquestionably communicate an
electrical shock, but we know of no
well established case of human being
able do so.
From our personal knowledge, we
believe that persons may be sensible
sometimes on touching each other, of
the presence of electricity in them,
selves, and this by a sensation like
one produced by the pricking of PIN
Their difference of temperature at the
moment may sccount for it, and several
other accidental circumstances may
favor the production even of slight
spark. We fully believe this, for we
have seen it, but weare not yet prepar-
ed to think any man or woman can
knock over heavy sofa without some
muscular exertion. Psychologists tell
US that this electrical power is confined
to small number of animals, and those
of a low grade in the scale of organi-
cation.
1t is stated by some, also, that there
is an identity of animal heat with mus
cuiar exaction. !"
At present, however. we will dis
miss the case of Angelique as an ex-
traordinary one, requiring further testi-
mony before we can credit her electric
forces.
There are so many curious things
brought lately before the public, in
which the actors are illiterate and I'M
educated, that we may well pause be-.
fore we believe in their claims. SO
highly developed, says DR.. Metcalf, is
the organ Of wonder as compared with
the reasoning faculties, and in all ages
the masses of mankind have entertained
a profound reverence for what they did
not understand, as if simplicity were
not the highest attribute of excellence,
beauty, and truth. Il is also crafty
ing to the selfish pride of inferior
minds, to perceive that there are mys-
teries which reduce the loftiest intel
lects to an equality with their own.
With such persons, the simplicity of
discovery derogates from its impor-
lance; being apparently so clear and
obvious, that they only wonder how
it could have ever escaped themselves.
We>fnd in this explanation why so
many wonders are run after even in our
own enlightened day.-.N:: Y Tele-

ton, frequently fails, as the extreme
~ lndurate nature Of the integument
reslSts the action Of the moisture, and
thus lnsuies the loss Of vitality to the
seed. After immersion, pour off the
water, and introduce a sufficiency
of fine loan, ashes or plaster of Paris
to absorb the moisture, and facilitate
the operation of sowing. Some pre-
fer letting the seed remain in the loan

ate sowing, however, we consider as
much more judiclous, especially when
the seed is hnown to be good.

EDUCATION.
Every boy should have his head,
his heart and his hand educated. Let
this truth never be forgotten. BY the
proper education Of the head he will be
taught what is good and what is evil,
what is wise and what is foolish--what
is right and what is wrong. BY the
proper education of The heart, he will
be taught to'love what is good, wise
and right, and to hate what is evil,
foolish and wrong, and by the proper
education ofthe hand, he will be ena-
bled to supply his wants, to add to his
comforts, and to assist those around
him. ea.e.. q.
The highest objects of good educa-
tion are to reverence and to obey God,
and to love and serve mankind; every
thing that helps us in attaining these
objects is of value, and every thing that
binders us, is comparatively worthless.
When wisdom reigns in the head and
love in the heart, the head is ever rea
dy to do good: order and peace smile
around, and sin and sorrow are almos:
unknown. -Black,cood.
