the contrast OF Jud gtpet Il, since Ut antlc-1
ipates reflection. It has often been
acknowledged that precipitation Of
thought as well as of speech entails
very fatal eguences;; and that the
mar who. through life, car wisely seer
clear ofathis double Inconvenience, de-
serves tho appel'ation Of happy. He
thinks, and thinks again, before she let's
his tongue fningle in the Aow of conser-
sation, and consults his inmost self ere
Ishe ventures to decide. He has also
learned byexperience, that a Natdralias
lits mask, Science its obseurities the
| Worldsits articles, and Merit Its enc.
mics; and, he consequently neyerd deter
mines, without having first deeply
searched into the matter. He lifts the
veil that nnfolds each object, and dis.
covers that itwould be madness to
Judge too harshly and at first sight.
What would the result be, if ne
trusted to our eyes only? Why, the
sun would be pronounced to turn
saround the earth, instead Of the latter
enclrcling the orb ofday.
The prejudices of a single mind can
easily be destroyed; but when they
have been reduced into egularsys
and found their way into social circles
formed to accredit them, there is no
remedy.
CONSOLATION Fcn GENIUS. Let no
man, who is in anything above his fcl.
llows. claim, as ofirigllt, to be valued or
understood; the yul gar great are com.
pretended or adorcd, because they are
lin realit yin the same moral plane wi,l,
/ those who admire; but lie who deserves
/ the higher reYerence, must himself con.
| vert the wotshipp The pure and
.Ilofty life;s the generous and tender use
fpfthe rare creative faculty; the brave
endurance Of neglect and riaicnlc; the
i 3atranse and cruel end of SO much gcni.
15ous and SO much pisiue--these are, the
lessons bgsMhich the ssmpathies ofinale
kind must be interested, and theisfacai
iItics educated, up to the love of such q
characterand the compreh eheiisieno Of such
an intelligence. Still the lovers and
scholars will be few: still the rewards ol
fame will be scanty :iiid ill-protionefl:
no accumulation of knoWle ge or. series
.of experiences can teach the meaning
Of genius to those who look fSr ii ir
additions and results, any moro than
i the numbers studied round a planets
i orhit could approach nearer #infnity

j thought must remain apart from the
world Of action, for, if they once coin
Ecided, the problem Of Life would be
i solved, and the hope, which We cal

i And therefore men

4 CHINESE METHOD OF CoLoRINt
\ HARM. Stanislaus Julien, th,
ilearned orientalist, has communicated
to the French Institute The Chimes,
method of coloring hnir. tits said tha
+ the Chinese have succeeded IN reachin.
and Transforming, BY es at lnsdi
cine and q peculiar diet, the lgRld
Which colors tho bilious system, and
giving to white orred hair a black tint,
which maintains itself during the con.
tinued growth. The coloring is pro.
dnced by means of certain substances
mixed with the food and drink. These
substances are not hurtful to the body,
having for basis and elements ferrugi.
Gus principles which are recommended
by physicians, and always succesfnlly
employed. M. Delay, who has writ
ten a treatise on this subject and pre-.
pared a formula of the means TO be em-
| ployed, says;
It is astonishing that the physiolo.
gists who have experimental and sue.
ceeded in coloring the bones Of living
animals, red, by making them eat aud
digest madder, have not thought Of
seeking inthe same way to color red
and white hair black. The hair and
the beard belong to vegetable life, and
are disposed to the same phenomena.
In fact, after q sufficient quantity Of
terruginous salts has been introduced
into the body, the circulation takes them
mp: the blood loade,l with these subslan.
css deposites them in the follicles Of tho
hair, which in tnrn, pours them into
the oil, saturated with iron, becomes
blpck,an the whole hair With ii.
