FAT MEN.

The following is an extract from the lectures OF
Rev. Henry Giles, now going through the press Of
Messrs. Ticknor, Reed & Fields, Boston,
There is something cordial in a Tat man. Every
body likes him, and he likes every body. Your
lshmaetes are, in truth, a bare-faced race; lank
tribe ale they-all skeleton and bile. Food does a
fat man good il clngs to him, it fructfes upon
him; he swells nobly out, and fills generousspace
in life. He is living, walking specimen Of graft
tude 10 the bounty of the earth, and the funess
thereof; an ihcarnate testimony against the vanity
Of care, radiant manifestation Of the wisdom Of
good humor. A fat man, therefore, almost in vir-
tue of being fat man, is per Sc popular man and
commonly he deserveshis popularity. In crowd
ed vehicle the fatiest man will ever be the first TO
make room Indeed, he feels half sorry for his size,
lest y 10 in the way Of others bat others would
not haye hin less than he is, for his humanity Is
usually commensurate with his bulk. A fat inah
has abundance Of rich juices. The hinges Of his
system are well oiled the springs of his being are
noiseless; and so he goes his way rejoicing m full
contentment and pacldlty.
A fat man feels his position solid in the world !;
he knows his being is coghizable: he knows he has
a marked place in the universe, and that he needs
no extraordinary pains to advertise mankind that he
is among them he knows that he is in no danger
of being overlooked. Your thin man is uncertain,
and therefore he is uneasy. He may vanish any
hour into nothing already he is almost a shadow,
and hence it Isl that he uses such aborious efforts
to convince you of his existence, TO persuade you
that he is actually something's that he is more than
an nonentity that he is positive Substance as well
as his corpulent fellow creature.
1t really does take deal of wrong to
make one hate fat man and if we are not always
SO cordial 50 thin man as we ought to be, Chris
tian charity should take into account the amount
Of prejudice which We have to overcome against his
thinness. A fat man is the nearest to that most
perfect Of figures, mathematical sphere; thin
man to that most limited Of conceivable dimensions,
q simple lille. fat man is being of harmonious
volume and holds relation to the material universe
in every direction thin man, in fact, is but the
continuation of a point

The wARIHEss OF DEER.--The deer is the
most acute animal we possess, and adopts the most
sagacous plans for the preservation ofits life When
it lies, satisfied that the wind will convey TO it an
intmation Of the approach of its pursuer, gazes in
another direction. II there are any wild birds such
as curews, in its vicinity, i, keeps its eye intently
fixed on them, convinced that they will give 1t
timely alarm. 1t selects its cover with thegreaest
caution, and invariably chooses an eminence from
which il can have view around. 1t recognizes
individuals, and permits The shepherd to approach
it. The stags at Tornapress will suffer the boy to
90 within 20 yards of them, but if attempted to
encroach upon them they were off at once. A poor
man who carries peats in a cree on his back here,
may 90 ''cheek by jowl" with them; but put on
his panner the other day and attempted to advance
and Immediately they sprung away like anieloPes.
An eminent deer stalker told me the other day of
plan one of his keepers adopted to kill d wary stag.
This animal had been known for years, and occu-
pied part of plain from which il could perceive the
smallest object at the distance of mile The keep
er cut thick bush, which he carried before him
as he crept, and commenced stalking at eight in the
morning but so gradually did he move forward that
it was live in the afternoon before he stood in trl.
ump with his foot on the anlered king. 81 never
felt so much for an inferior creature, said the gen.
tleman, ssas did for this deer. When came up
il was painting life away, with its large blue eyes
firmly fixed on its slayer. You would have thought,
that it was accusing itselfof simplicity in having
been so easily betrayed" ."-1nrersness Co'T.

afternoon, lat College Hall, the waking up of a young
lady of this city, mesmerized by Prof Rodgers, who
had been in the mesIneric sleep Of two weeks, dur
ing which time, we learn. she has been cured of
painful spinal affection. The uncle of the young
lady, Judge H, formerly Mayor Of Cincinnati,
corroborated the above statement. When walked
up the lady was asked how lung She thought she
had been asleep and replied about two hours. When
informed it was two weeks, she laughed and seemed
much astonshed, and stated that she was entirely
cured Of her disease.-Cin. Times.

THE RUSSIAN CONSPIRACY.

The ST. Petersburg journal of the 9th January
mentions the discovery ofa conspiracy by number
of persons including several officers, to overthrow
the Government. 1'he ringleaders, twenly-one in
number, were tried by court martial, and were found
guilty of an attempt to overthrow the Government,
TO subver religion, and to abolish all existing inst-
tutions, and were sentenced 10 be shot. The En-
peror, however, committed the punshment-we
will hardly say in nlercy-for the prisoners have
been deprived of their civil rights sentenced to hard
labor III the mines to work at the Notifications, or
to enter the army, after certain term of mprisOn-
ment The head of the conspiracy was very
Young man, Nicholas Kaschkine, who is described
as being an honorary councillor. Kaschkine's ia
ther it appears, is exile in Siberia and the En-
peror, supposng that this circumstance had occa-
stoned the sons rebellion, had him brought before
him. He was received with unl0oked-for kind
ness and affability, and the following meiodfahat
ic scene is said 10 have taken place:
'.You are young, M. Kaschkine, and you have
another still better excuse" said the nagnanmous
Emperor "Under the mask Of politics, you have
wished, suspect, 10 satisfy desire of vengeance
gard as iniquituus. The power which keeps him
in Siberia cannot be considered legitimate in the
ewes of a good son; and can comprehend the i'm
pIuutut pdooiou WiiiOH i'oo P"NS" w III "J o''uS
shall not, therefore, abuse the terrible right which
have over you and if your repentance suggests to
you any avowas which may render legitimate an
absolute pardon-f you make known the details Of
the conspiracy, the names Of your accomPlces, all
may yet be forgotten Your future career shall not
be stopped YOU shall be restored to liberty" &c.
"Sre,o interrupted M. Kaschkine, "do not proceed
any further and, above all things abandon your er
ror. No thought of vengeance inspired me with
the idea of putting an end to your domination. In
our family the condemnation of my father is regard
ed as title of honor. Personally, do not think
can do any thing to add to the honor Of our name it
were not by contributing to the annihation Of your
race and of your degrading authority" The con-
versation took place before witnesses, who uttered
an exclamation Of horror, whether real or Geigned
The Emperor affected the mos, perfect sang fiotd
"That youngman is madman," he said; :'il is not
dungeon, but madhouse that he merits" 1t is,
in fact, to madhouse that Kaschkine has been SENT
