The women OF Cypru..

The bewltching power attributed at this
day to the women Of Cyprus, is curious in
connection with the worship Of the sweet
goddess who called their isle her own; the
Cypriote is not, think, nearly so beautiful
in the face as the Ionian queens of Izmir.
but she is tall, and slightly fomed-there is
high-souled meaning and expression-a
seeming consciousness Of gentle empire

cred together under the head-dress) descends

braids; of all other women with Grecian
blood in their veins, the costume is gracious.

How vastly more strange aud extrava-
CANT looking truth is than hclionl Our Ed
inb,lrgh reviewers deemed il one Of the
griyest among the many grave offences Of
Wordsworth, that he should have made the
hero Of the Excursion a pedlar. What,
they ask, but the most wretched and pro-
voking perversity Of taste and judgment
could induce any one to place his chosen
advocate OF wisdom and virtue in so absurd
and fantastic a condition! Did MIR. Words
worth really imagine that his favorite doc
trines were likely to gain anything in poin,
Of effect or authority by being put into the
mouth Of person accustomed to higgle
about tape or brass sleeve-buttons? Or is
it not plain that, independent Of the ridi-
cule ana disgust which such personi6ca-
ton must give to many Of his readers its
adoption exposes bis work throughout to the
charge OF revolving incongruity, and utter
disregard Of probability or natureF If the
critics be thus severe on the mere choice OF
so humble hero, what would they not
have said had the poet ventured TO represent
his pedlar not only as wise and meditative
man, but also as an accomplished writer,
and successful cuitivator Of natural sci
ence-the author Of great national work,
eloquent as that OF Button, and incompara-
bly, more true in its facts and observationsl
Nay, what would they have said if, rising
to the extreme of extravaganza, he had ven-
tured to relate that the pedlar. having left
the magnificent work unfinished at his
death, an accomplished prince--the neph-
ew Of by far the most puissant monarch Of
modern times--tOok it up, and completed it
in volume, bearing honorable reference
and testimony, in almost every page, TO the
ability and singular fathfulness Of his hum
bier predecessor, the 'Wanderer.' And yet
this strange story, so full of revolving in
congnity, and utter disregard Of probability
or nature would be exactly that of the
Paisley pedlar, Alexander Wilson, the au-
thor OF the American Ornithology'-a
work completed by fervent admirer Of the
pedlar's genius, Prince Charles Lucien b.

ltr s.1L.liu, lacl OF the inhabitants OF
the ,livle northwest coast OF Boneo, eX-
tending from Datu to Malluda Bay, being
now so FAR weaned from their savage habits
as to ensure the personal safety Of any Eu-
ropean who may be thrown by shipwreck
or otherwise upon their shores, is the tri-
umpli which should ever stand the first
amongst the many which Mr.. Brooke has
achieved in that violent land; whilst the
knowledge that he has individually been the
means Of rescuing from state Of slavery
between twenty and thirty OF his own coun-
trymen, and other subjects Of his sovereign,
who, without the magic influence Of his
name would, to this day, have been groan-
ing beneath the yoke OF Bornean bondage,
must ever be to him source Of unbounded
qualification. In confirmation Of the knowl-
edge Of change in the state Of affairs in this
quarter, will observe, tina. not long before
Mr.. Brooke left Sarawak, large Ameri-
can ship was totally wrecked on some OF the
shoals off the South Natunas; and as this dis
aster occurred at the heightofthe violent mon-
soon, the boats Immediately bore up for the
Boneo coast, and, landing in safety. were
provided with native boats. with which they
crossed over to Singapore. Another great
benefit conferred on the commercial world,

Brooke in various parts Of his journal, we

Change OF Air.

An occasional change OF air may be said
to be almost necessary to the perfect we'll
being Of every man. The workman must
leave his workshop, the student his library,
and the lawyer his Office, or sooner or later
his health will pay the penalty; and this, no
matter how great his temperance in eating
and drinking-no matter how vigorously
and regularly he uses his lhnbs-no matter
how open, and dry, and free from sources
OF impurity may be the air Of the place in
which he is employed. In the slightest
cases OF impaired health, the sleeping in
the suburbs Of the town in which the life
is chiefly spent, or even the spending few
hours Of detached days in some accessible
rural district, at few miles distance from
the dwelling. may suffice to restore the
healthy balance Of the bodily functions,
and maintain the bodily machine in fit
state for its duties; or in cases of somewhat
more urgency, or Of somewhat more aggra-
waited character, more decided change Of
air, for even few days, once or twice a
year, may suffice TO adjust or restore the due
economy Of the generalization en- Di.

Dancing as an hxerei.e,

A few words may be offered in this place
in favor Of dancing as an exercise, and as a
school-room recreation. Exercising so
many muscles otherwise little used-exer-
cising them fully and duly and without vi
olence-exercising them to the cheering in
fiuence of music--exercising them in forms
of grace and beauty-dancing may be made
an important and valuable part of the phys
ical education, and as such should be spo-
ken Of, and promoted by the powerful
voice Of the medical public. The balanced
action of the opposing muscles, the active
use Of the different calculations, the extern
sive and varied action of the spinal mus
cles, effected by dancing, and the degree to
which the mental excitement produced by
II enables the exercise to be made use OF
without undue fatigue, are strong reasons
for so decided and favorable an opinion;
and this, without obtrusive interference with
opinions as to the propriety, or otherwise,
OF carrying the practice Of dancing to an ex-
cess in after-life, and making it the plea
for late hours, &c. Let people think as
they will Of public balls, or even of private
balls; with the conscientious opinions Of
others it is not my wish, nor intention to
interfere; but to dancing in the school,
room, or among the members of the family
circle, few will object; and it is not too
much to say that if dancing could be made
a daily, not nightly, exercise among the
people Of all classes, the healthiness and
tho A~nectation of life as wsll as its nan
pineSS, would be increased.-Robcrtson on

Iniudicisus Patronage.

Ii is very well to encourage young artists
'and young poets, provided that the encour.
agement be judiciously and temperately
rendered; but knowingly to raise hopes
which can never be realised is, at the best,
wantSr mockery. To extol beyond rea
son is often, in effect, to weaken the mo-
tives foiimprovement. How frequently are
men spoiled by false estimation of their
own abilities! We could point out in
stances inlthe present day Of persons refu.
sing to wotk because they have been dub
bed poets; we have known men who would
never handle the hoe, nor WELD the ham.
mer, nor throw the shuttle, because they
could spin rhymes; and we have seen the
hand that could pen a sonnet withheld in
contempt from the recording of ransac-
ton in business. NThese individuals revile
the world for troubles which they bring up
on themselves and their own driveling con-
duct ertirely hinders their advancement.
They are not alonet TO blame for their un.
fortunate position; fdg they have each in
turn been injured by adplation. To versify
with facility is an eiegant accomplishment;
to try tc, be true poet is noble ambition;
but the sweetest songs, and the Hottest ina
ginings, are not incompatible with hard
work performed by either hands OF brains.
As recreation, literature adds grace and
dignity to honest, independent industry; and
as profession, it offers career which may
be successfully pursued by those who have
the requisite Intellectual aptitude, and untir-
ing perseverance. But to make the love OF
literature a pretext for eating the bread Of
idleress is moral wrong, which deserves
unspariIlg censure.- -Shefield and Rother.
