died wines which every Englishman has on
his table. The English in Hungary, too,
say it is impossible 10 that clear, oxygenated
climate, TO keep up their habits of beef eat
ing and drinking.
The first meal among the Hungarians is
taken al seven or eight in the morning, and
consists only of glass Of coffee with rich
milk and some meagre cuttings of cold toast
broken up and eaten in the coffee.
This is the universal breakfast of all
classes, except The poorest Bauer. Between
this aud the dinner at one or TWO, nothing
Is usually eaten or drank. The dinner, as |
have said, is long, with great variety of
dishes, not essentially differing from our
own, except that it is lighter, and a greater
use is made Of light wines. The meal is
always followed by cup Of coffee. The
only other meal is The supper a eight o'clock
IN the evenings long meal again, with
soup, fish, pudding and wine. Tea is very
little drank in the land sugar and sweet
ened articles, TOO, are seldom used.
Whit especial theory of diet, to draw
from all this, am at loss to determine
Sill, the facts may be useful TO some who
are investigating The matter. The principal
things, worthy of imitation, seem 10 be The
moderation and sociabillty of The meals, and
the distance OF time at which they are sepa-
rated--the last being, no doubt, very condu-
Give TO health. The principal cause of their
vigorous health and well formed bodies,
must he found, without doubt, in their open
air pursuits and manly exercises, TO which
they are ardently attached They are ma
tlon of herdsmen and farmers. and are en-
Joying the benefits of their pursuits.

Cowper's DiMdence.

Extreme diffidence is the iorerunner of a
mental arrangement. 1t is told of Cowper
who had The appointment Of reading clerk
10 The English House Of Lords that the idea
Of reading in public was the source Of such
terror and apprehension 10 him that he very
soon resigned The place, and had interest
enough TO exchange il for that of clerk Of the
journals, which was supposed TO need no at
tendance whatever; an unlucky dispute in
parliament, however, made it necessary for
him TO appear in his place. His terrors on
this occasion rose TO such an astonishing
height that they utterly overwhelmed his
prepare himself for the public duty by alten-
ding close at The Office for several months TO
examine the parliamentary journals, his ap-
plication was rendered useless by that excess
Of diffidence which made him conceive that
whatever knowledge he might previously ac
quire, il would all forsake him al the bar Of
the House. This distressing apprehension
increased to such degree as the time for
his appearance approached, that when the
day so much dreaded arrived he was unable
TO make the experiment The very friends
who called upon him for the purpose of at
tending him TO the House Of Lords acquies-
ced in the cruel necessity Of his relinquish-
ing the prospect Of station so severely for
mdable to frame of such singular sensibil-
ity. He said OF himself, that, when at West
minister school, he was never able to raise
his eyes above the shoe-buckles of the elder
boys who tyransed over him. This diff
dence in Cowper was allied 10 great ambi-
ton, and the struggle between two such OPP
ponenis produced the complete arrangement
i'm which he died.

The Wizard Hunter.

A Virginian thus speaks of The trick Of
an old hunter of the Blue Rinde:
One story that I have picked up here,
illustrates the character of an old hunter,
who lives upon one of the neighboring
mountains. For many years past he has
imposed upon the credulty of his more ig-
norant brethren Of the bush, by passing
himself off as n wizard, by which profess
sion he managed TO pick up good deal
of money. And the manner in which he
originally established his reputation, and
made himself the terror of the country,
was as follows:
A brother hunter came to him with his
rife, declaring that he had made many
shots at deer and other wild animals, but
that he never could hit any Of them, and
he therefore supposed it must be out of
order. The wizard examined the gun, and
perceiving at a glance that the sight was
only out Of place, he mysteriously shook
his head, and said that the gun had
spell upon it, which could not be removed
without the payment of three dollars. The
man paid the money, and was told 10 call
on the morrow. The sight was then fixed in
lis proper place, and when the man came
after his gun, lie gave il fair trial and
wizard then told The man that he must
perform another secret incarnation over the
gun, and that it would he ready 10 take
away in one hour, whereupon he retired
into a room alone, when he proceeded 10
load the gun with small charge of pow
der, using for wad a quantity Of soft puik-
and this charge lie continued TO repeat TIL
the barrel was filed within foot of the
muzzle. He now came forth 10 deliver the
gun into the hands of its owner, and while
giving him some particular directions as 10
how he must hold the gun, and prohibiting
him from looking behind him, while he
was TO hasten home with all possible de-
spaich, the wizard silly dropped coal of
fire into the rife, and The man disap-
peared. Hardly had he gone hundred
yards before bang went the old gun, and
the hunter was alarmed: few seconds
more, aud a second charge followed, and
he was asounded another brief period
elapsed, and still another report followed
and another, and still another, when the
poor hunter became almost frantic with
fear, and throwing the gun away, he ran
for his home with all speed, while nearly
every dozen PAGES that he accomplished, was
measured by the explosion OF the spell-bound
gun. OF course, the narrow escape which
he had made, was soon spread far and
wide, and the power as well as the wick
edness of the wizard, were universally ac-
knowledged.

BILE to human ear, he gets up, walks out into
the long entry, and gives loud, sharp bark at
the outside door, and stands waiting the ap-
preaching step.
Soon satisfied that the new conner is friend
he retires again to his repose, and three OF four
boys that look as though they might be broth
ers to those already described, SO much are
they dressed alike, enter and draw around the
table with the others and the schoolmas,er-
These are from a neighboring farm, sons of a
widow, who have till now been so much enga-
ged with the labors of the farm, they have
been unable to attend the school in the day
time. but are determined to lose none of the
evening opportunities to keep along with their
class. These will make honest, intelligent, in
dustrious farmers. The old folks welcome them
heartily, and the young ones are all rejoiced at
their arrival. The old lady inquiries why in
the world their mother did not come along and
Mary, the kind-hearted Mary, is sorry to hear
that it is becau.e Sarah is not so well, and
mother is very bnsy getting their new clothes
done, so they can go to school as soon as they
finish picking apples.
JOHN says she, 'let us hurry and get
through our stent and we will go over to the
widows; and white l help her with sewing,
you shall read for the amusement of poor Sa-
rah, an hour or two.'

The Secret Of Luck"

Some persons appear to be always lucky
in whatever they undertake; but the reason
Of this is not hard to find, IT one searches
closely into their history. Generally speak
ing, your "lucky fellows" prove TO be those
persons who know what they are doing.
and how to do it in the right way. Their
luck comes to them because they work for
it; it is luck well earned. They put them
selves in the way Of it. They keep wide
awake, and are ever on the lookout. They
make the best Of every circumstance, and
every opportunity they possess, and always
stand ready for more. When a man does
thus much, and is honest, moral and temper
ate, depend on il, he meets with hard luck,
indeed if he does not get onward aud up
ward in the world. Rev. h. W. beecher
has some apt remarks on this very topic
which ! quote

Diet and Habits of the Hun
rarianS.

An intelligent correspondent Of "The In
dependent" giving an account of his obscr-
vations in Hungary, speaks of the uniformly
strong and athletic appearance Of its inhabl-
tanrs. He goes on TO speak of their habits
Of eating, as follows:
81 took considerable pains in Hungary to
notice the diet and habits of eating OF the
people, as connected with this remarkable
vigor of the race. hoping some useful facts
might he derived for Americans on the sub.
ject. This seemed moie desirable, as there
is no country of Europe so resembling our
own, or at least The Middle Sta-es OF our
own, 10 climate. The same extremes OF
heat and cold; the same sudden, violent
changes of temperature; the same clear,
stimulating atmosphere, which mark the
American climate, and distinguish il from
the usual European. There are districts in
Hungary which produce the most delicious
grapes and melons and peaches in the sum-
mer, which are buried in snow in winter,
precisely like the inland counties some years
in New York. And in travelling over the
best part of the land, l might have thought,
as far as productions were concerned, was
journeying through the plains of inner New
York or Pennsylvania; the only exception
being the rine. for the want oil which IN
America, am disposed to think the cause is
not to be sought in the climate.
In respect TO the habits Of the people, the
great peculiarity seemed to be their tenn per-
ance in eating and drinking, and at the same
time their making of the meals pleasant
social occasion, and not merely means of
filling up the stomachs. When | say they

perpetually ran against them, and for others.
One. with good profession, lost his luck in
the river, where he idled away his time fish
ing when he should have been in his office.
Another, with good trade, forever burnt up
his luck by his hot temper which provoked
all his EMPLOYERS 10 discharge him. Anoih-

BUSINESS. Another who steadily followed

ne lacked discretion. Hundreds luse their

by trusting fraudulent men: and bv disbon-
est gains. No man has good luck Who has
bad wife. never knew an early sss;nc.
Woodworking prudent man, careful Of his

Of bad luck. But when see talterdema-

Yachts with Wooden Sails.

Strange as this announcement may ap.
pear such things may daily be seen in Cowes
harbor. thanks to the talented builders and
rigee.s of the America We say riggers,
because, in spite Of what The writers in the
Times, Herald, dc., may say, we hold 10 our
original opinion, that ihscuttins and the set
Ting of the sails has as much 10 do with q
vessels fieetness as her hull. Our builders
and sailmakers are alive TO this fact, and
during the week the Whites and Ratsey have
been trying all sorts Of experiments. Hav-
ing the lines OF the far famed America, and
the little less celebrated Madeira Pack ct brig
Brilliant, they have constructed models Of
both, and schooner rugged them, a la Ameri-
ca, with wooden sails. They are each six
feet in length, and il surprises every one to
see how swiftly they cut along, and how
close they sail to the wind with the ,r wood

to suit the times, are daily witnesses Of the
different experiments. The sails are made
