How TO PRESERVE HEALTH.-Medi-
cine will never remedy bad habits. 1t
is utterly futile to think of living in
gIuttony, intemperance and every ex-
cess, and keeping the body in health by
medicine. Indulgence of the appetite,
indiscriminate dosing and drugging,
have ruined the health and destroyed
the lives of more persons than famine
or pestilence. If you will take advice
you will become regular in your habits,
eat, and drink only wholesome things,
sleep on mattress, and retire and rise
very regularly. Make free use of wa
ter 10 purify the skin, and when sick
take counsel of the best physician you
know, and follow nature.
A GLORIOUS CHANGE.-Conversion
in the most glorious work of God. The
creation Of the sun is a very glorious
work when God first rolled him fam
ing along the sky, scattering out gold
en- blessings OH every shore. The
change in spring is very wonderful
when God makes the faded grass revive,
the dead trees put out green leaves, and
the flowers appear Oh the earth. But
far more glorious and wonderful is the
conversion of the soul 1t is the crea-
ton of sun that is to shine for eterni
,y; is the spring of the soul that shall
know 10 winter-the planting of tree
that shall bloom with eternal beauty in
the paradise of God !-M Cheyae.

PHENOMENA OF THE BRAlN.-One of
ahe most receivable things in the
nature of the brain is, that the organ of
sensation should itself be insensIbIe.
10 cut the brain gives no pain, yet in
the brain alone resides the power offeel,
ing pain in any other part of the body.
If the nerve which leads from it to the
injured part be divided, it becomes in
stantly unconscious of suffering. 1t is
only by communication with the brain
shat any kind of sensation is produced,
vet the organ itself is inscnsible. But
there is a circumstance more wonder
full still. The brain itself may be re-
moved, may be cut away down to the
corpus calasum, without destroying life.
The animal lives and performs all its
functions which are necessary for sim
ple vitality, but no longer has mind
it cannot think or feed it requires that
the food should be pushed down into
its stomach !; once there, it is digested,
the animal will even thrive and grow
dat. We infer therefore that the part Of
ahe brain, the convolutions, is simply
intended for the exercise of the intellec-
tual faculties, whether of the low degree
called instinct, or exalted kind best,w-
ed on man, the gift of reason.
WONDERS OF NArURE.-There is a
tree called the Manchanoel, in the
West Indies its appearance is very at
tractive, and the wood of it peculiarly
beautiful it bears kind Of apple, re-
sembling the golden pippin. This fruit
looks very tempting and smells very
fragrant, but to eat it is instant death,
and its sap or juice.so poisonous that if
a few drops oft fall on the skin, it raises
blisters and occasions great pain. The
Indians dip their arrows in its juice to
poison their enemies when they wound
them. Providence has so appointed it,
that one of those is never found, but
near it grows white wood, or fgtree,
the juice Of either of which, if APPLIED in
time, is remedy for the disease produc-
ed by the Manchanoel.
