Ingenious Invention.

A mechanic, residing at Hulane, has
constructed little machine for the pur-
pose of wakening himself in the morning.
To Dutch clock in the kitchen he has
attached lever, from which a wire com
municates through the ceiling to the bed
room above, in which he has affixed his
novel invention. Having set the lever to
any hour at which he may wish to be a
wakened, when the time arrives it is re.
leased by the clock and the machinery up
stairs rings bell, and then strikes match
which lights an oil lamp. This lamp runs
upon four wheels. and is at the same in.
slant propelled through tin tube on a
miniture railway, about five feet long,
which is raised by small iron supporters a
few inches above the bedroom floor.
Near the end of the "line" is Iixc,, an
elevated iron stand, upon which small
tea kettle is placed. holding about pint,
and Immediately under ii, by the aid of a
spring, the lamp is stopped. and its flame
boils the water III the kettle in twenty min
utes, thus enabling him to take cup OF
tea or coffee prior to going to work. The
bell attached is so powerful that it awakes
his neighbor. and the machine altogether
is of very neat appearance, the mechan-
ism being of polished iron. The inventor
has made it during his leisure hours. and
has been about eighteen months bringing
it to state Of completion. He has also
combined economy with utility, as the
working of it does not cost more than a
pennu per reek!

The Art Of Health,

Walking is the best possible exercise.
Habituate yourself to walk far. The
Europeans value themselves on having
subdued the horse to the use of man, but
doubt whether we have not lost more than
We have gained by this animal, for no one
thing has occasioned so much degeneracy
of theI human body. An Indian goes on
foot nearly as far in day, for long
journey. as an enfeebled white does on
his horse. and will tire the best horse. A
little walk of half an hour in the morning,
when you first rise is advisable. II shakes
off sleep and produces other good effects
in the animal economy.

The FAMILY CIacLE.-A family is so.
ciety in miniature; home is its location;
woman its presiding spirit; whalever de-
stroys its primary features, must disturb
the tranquility of its JOYS, introduce evil
into its atmosphere of good, inflict misery,
not only on her. but on all its members.
and affect the whole community of which
it forms portion. The fountains of hap.
piness. thus rendered impure, send forth
their turbid waters TO lay waste the land.
Thus intimately is the family relation con.
nected with the progress of society.

1t was affecting to see how the mother
apes precipitated themselves down from
the old sunt trees and secured their young,
playing before our feet, behind the high
branches. and daring round the corner
until another malignant ball reached them
from behind, whereupon they let their
young fall from their arms, but the little
creatures clung firmly to the old one by
returning, climbing, and springing under
her belly They live together in families
OF several hundreds, and their territory is
very limited even in the forest, as myself
subsequently ascertained. Although they
fear the water very much, and do not
swim voluntarily. yet they always fed for
security to the high branches hanging over
the stream. and often fell in, whereupon
they, in spite of imminent danger, care
fully wiped their faces and tried to get the
water out Of their ears before they climbed
up into the trees. Such republic of apes
is really droll sight; coaxing, caressing,
and combing each other; plundering,
fighting, and tugging one another by the
ears; and, during all these important con-
Germs, Fastening every moment down to

themselves with hurried draught. in or
