KEEP QUIET.

We give the following extract on this sub
jec from one of Dow, Jr's. eccentric Ser
MONS in the N. Y. Sunday Mercury:
"My hcarcrs-what "a happy state OF
mind is that Of perfect quieiness IL mean
as nearly perIect'as this Josllng world will
admit. How delicious, when our thoughts
lie swee,Iy reposing, all snnggled together. in
the bosom's warm nest, like lot of little
pigs in the straw, while the mother is away
How delightful, when all is peace and quiet
ness wilhin-when not breeze of envy,
Jealousy, anxiety, or fear, dislurbs the smooth
surface Of the souls silvery lake the gol.
den hucs of heaven are exhibited, and con.
tentment, likes swan, sits smoothing its feath-
ers by the margin
my dear friends-you all seek for quiet
and ye, You don't know how to obtain it,
You frighted it away in your eagerness to
grasp it; you become tired and weary in
running after ii; you grow feverish and
thirsty in your anxiety to search out we'll
springs of its refreshing waters and free your.
self in all manner Of ways, because your
porcupine will allow neither peace nor com.
fort to dwell within you.
"My hearers-the babe cries for quiet
the soldier fights for it, and you will fret fol
it.-Now, what is the use Of fretling? Tt
borrow the language of another, this is worle
of ups and downs, Of crosses and contradic
,ions. Every day turns up something tt
disturb the equanimity Of ones temper; bu
it is worse than useless to fret. Fretiing i
like caustic applied to a sore; il inAames
but never cures. A fretfu spirit is neve

And there was one passage Of his charity
that was perhaps a little unusual in hard
and very long winter, when wood was very
scarce at Boston, a man gave him private in
formation that needy person in The neigh.
borhood stole wood from his pile where.
upon the Governor, in seeming anger, did
reply Does he so7 III take a course
with him; so call the man TO me. III war
rant you Ill cure him OF stealing When
the man came, the Governor considering
that il he had stolen, It was more out Of ne.
cessity than disposition, said unto him,
Friend, ii is slvese winter, and doubt
nott on are but heanly provided for wood
wherefore | would have you supply your
self at my wood-pile ill this season be over.
And he then merrIly asked his friends
whether he had not eflecually cured this
man Of stealing bis wood"

nounced TO his readers, along with the no

ton the editorial management would be con-
fned 10 an assistant. Well, it turned out
that the assistant conlrived to please the
readers Of the Journal better than the chiel
himself, and they demanded his name. The
convalacent editor Informed them il would
be impossible for him to divulge the name
Of his aid camp, but tina, he would in the

TAKE CARE THAT YOUR STOCK IS NOT
ExPosED.-Llebeg, the celebrated German
chemist, asserts that sour clothing is TO be
considered in the light of an equivalent for a
certain amount OF food" In all situations
where the body is kept warm and comfor.
table by the protection of suitable garments,
the demand for food, in order to sustain the
natural functions of the system, will be less
than the protection is scanty, or but i'll. adap.
ted to subscrve the purpose for which it is
designed. Now this observation applies with
no less force to the management of domestic
animals than to the management of our.
selves and children. A COW, forced to stand
exposed TO the weather in inclement seasons.
to repose on the cold ground, or in barn or
howell where the piercing night blasts have
free access, necessarily requires larger
amount of food than one carefully sheltered
and provided with conference.-the stall and
bed. The difference in the amount Of food
consumed by animals treated in the different
styles above indicated, by actual and repeat.
ed experiments, is found to be from twenty.
five to one hundred per cent. 10 favor of the
latter But this is not all, exposure torpi.
hes and emascuatcs the system, paraIiZes
the functions of the stomach, and opens
door for the Introduction Of many a fearful
disease. An animal habituaIy exposed TO
cold, usually falls away. If COW, 4" she

CuRIous.-The Buffalo Medical Journal
says, that DR.. Beech of Gaines, n. Y, was
requested TO examine the body of a COW
that had died suddenly, without any appa-
rent disease, except being distressed for
breath for short time before she died. In
taking out the heart his finger was pricked
with wha, proved to be the point of a large
darning needle, that had entered the right
venlrcle just below the centre, had passed
directly through, and was fixed across rhe
left venlricle through the middle, with the
point sticking out on the left side quarter
of an inch. Dr.. Beech supposed that the
COW swallowed the needle at least two years
before, and that it had been r long time
in the substance Of the heart.

PROCESSION IN CAIR

MAhhlAOE IRoOESOlOLS l4N SEAiNO'
We were attracted by the sound of loud vol
ces in the street, accompanied by the roll of
music; these were the harbngers OF one act in
the drama of marriage procession, Three
brides elect were being conducted IN great
state to the bath, ceremony always observed
on the eve of wedding. The ladies seemed
very young, especially the one who walked
first; she could not have been more than nine
or ten years old. Nothing can be more whim-
steal than the loo, Too, cry of the women, in con-
junction with the monotonous sound OF the de-
rabooka, (derabukkah) all ment to be expressive
of ioy. In some instances the bride on her re-
turn from the bath is profusely sprinkled with
rose water; and incense, and various perfumes,
burning in silver censers, are carried before
her. About nine p. m. we again heard the
music and saw the youngest of the little brides
conducted to the bridegroom's house, where
she was to pass through the marriage ceremo-
NAL. Soon afteIward the other two passed,
making altogether very splendid pageant.
All the brides were Christians, which was
indicated by the absence of the gay party COL
ored canopy that is invariably carried over the
heads Of the Mahometans. 1t is the custom of
the Orientals here, whether Christian or Mus
sulman, to parade the principal street with a
slow pace, in leading "the destined one, amid
great reioicings, to the house of her future
husband. The face of the bride SO closely veil
ed; a rich scarlet shawl is thrown over her
head reaching to her feet, and quite conceal
ing her figure. To make her look tall, some
thing high is usually affixed to the head, which
deformity the Ipdian shawl covers; and then
surmounting the whole is head dress decorat'
ed with gold and jewels, sort of tiara, Oh
crown; this is often but loan. In addition te
these externals she is generally very richly at
tired. crowd of female relatives aud friend:
usually accompany the bride; one attendant
fans her, least she should faint in her smother
ed condition; another carries chair that sh'
may rest when fatigued; and Others SPRINKLE
her with costly perfumes, or strew the choices
flowers in her path.
We met bridal procession to-day, accom-
panied by the train of boy for circumcision
both ale frequently united, in order to enhance
the pomp and effect of the display. Judgin!
from her statue, the bride must have been
child; but she was quite concealed by the am
phtude of her rich and grotesque costume
The boys division was by far the most splendi
spectacle. He rode stately horse, we'll capa
