ECONOMY.

II is not economy to keep a
cold house. Modern ways of
economizing fuel are SO many
and cheap, and it cost so little
more to make a'house tight than
it does to leave it open, that
cold feet, colds, inflammation-of
the lungs and twenty other dis
eases--to say nothing of the
discomfort endured-are paid
for too high, when their price
is a little neglect and want of
enterprise in fitting up an abode
to prevent them.
II is not economy TO half feed
sheep, cattle, swine, or horses
in winter. The food they con-
sumo is the fire that warns them.
If they do not have plenty, its
place must be supplied by the
fat they have laid up on their
bodies, in which case they will
become poor; and if they have
no fat laid up, they must suffer
terribly, if not perish.
III is not economy to keep ami
mails shelterless. They consume
a sixth more feed,sAeeze their
feet, ears, and noses, suffer great
lv, and are less likely to come
out healthy in the spring.
All kinds of tools are injur-
ed by exposure to the weather.
Wagons, wheel barrows. spades
hoes, ploughs, and every thing
else of the kind, should be hous-
ed before winter sets in.

The Dead Sea Erpsdiiion.-Ns copy
the following Interesting intelligence from
The Baltimore American of the 30lh ult.
From private letters which have been
shown to the editor OF the Boston Trans
cript, it appears that the Dead Sea explO-i'
ring party have successfully and sssislae-
torily completed their Task, and returned
to Jerusalem, where they were on The
| 10Th of May. They have sounded the
sea in all its parts, 10 the deplh OF 600 fa-
lhons, and found the bottom chrystalized
salt. The pesliienlisl effects attributed 10
the water, turns out 10 be iabulous.-----
Ducks were seen skimmipg over The sur-
face, and parlriLges aboulded along ths
shore. The party were upon The sea in
their boats or rncAmped on'ils borders for
some two months. and their researches
and estimates have been OF the most aLo-
rough and interesting character. ALI were.

being buffetted by the winds
he hauled up in the harbor o.
Tunis to await good weather
The collector of the port came
on board. Capt. Baculard rep
resented that he was freighted
for Canton, that he had nothing
to do with 'Tunis, and that he
only put in from distress OF
weather. But the collector ex.
hibited manifest necessity that
he should fork over. Capt. Ba-
culard did fork over, in a rage,
but instantly repaired to the
palace of the Bey, demanding
justice.
"Good Frank" said the Bey,
81 am your friend. God is great.
What the devil 90 you want OF
me ?"
"Highness," answered the
Captain, "your custom house
has robbed me. | have forked
over-fork back"
"Excellentindividual, in this
country, when we have the dust
we keep it. The original ac-
QUESTION is difficulty. To
fork back is a thing unknown to
Africa"
"But shall l not have jus
tice:"
"Certainly. Every one has
justice in Tunis. Will you have
it French or lunis fashion 7"
"Highness, | have had a law
suit or two in France. Justice in
French fashion,! God forbid"
"ButI don't press it on you,"
observed the Bey. "If YOU
choose the French after all, !
will speak TO your consul. He
loves justice, good man. Three
of my subjects applied to him
two years ago for immunity, and
they will get it next year, !
think, for he loves justice"
"French Justice never! give
me the Tunisian; ! am in a hur-
ry."
"Be itso, then. God is great, I"
said the Bey--"what is your
cargo ?"
"NIarseilles soap and twenty
thousand cotton caps"
"lt is we'll Go away and be
tranquil"
The Bey summoned the vi
zer.
"Vizer," said he, "there is no
God but God, and Mahomet is
the prophet. We love justice.
We love the Franks. Proclaim
that every Jew who appears to-
morrow out doors without a cot
ton cap will have a little trans
action to settle with me-"
There were twenty thousand
Jews in Tunis, and not one cot
ton cap in the place. They all
made their wills. But when
they learned through an officer
of the customs that Capt. Ba-
culard had lots of the desired
article, there was enough said
the Captain sold the invoice al
So the cap. He rushed to the
palace aud poured out his
thanks.
"Not so FAST" said the Bey

Nizer."
The Vizer appeared.

"that every Jew who keeps

plains that all the children in the public
schools in that city are overtasked, and
their studies are too complex and unattrac-

"Mr. George T. Combe, the Scotch
philosopher, used to say The whole course

Gir|hood, in Boston, instead of beng az

books or the piano. "Ms.es and young
ladies', therefore, are pale, feeble, slender.
sickly creatures, positively cheated out Of
the birrhrish, of good health, the choicest
of all temporal blessings. They are un-
fitted, BY a perverse plan Of education. for
the demands Of a variable climate and the
incidents and circumstances Of the social
relations. They are all mind, withou, q

lity of the fairesl flowers in this unnatural
cultivated garden of intellect, throughout
