A PROPHET WITHOUT Honor IN HIS OWN
COUNTRY.-The illustration Of this truth, is
thus presented by the Cincinnati Gasette.
Twenty years since, Mr. John Lea, when
the cholera first ragged in the West, vas an in
telligent observer Of its ravages. He found
that the mortality from that scourge Of our
race was limited to those who used limestone
water, and that rain water was a prophylactic
Of that disease. His theory originated here
in the West, and since 1882 be has promulga-
ted it in publications Of his own, in medical
journals, newspapers, in conversation. in eve-
ry way, possible yetit is doubted whether on
hundred persons in bis own city here, Of one
hundred and thirty thousand inhabitants,
have given credit to bis geological theory Of
cholera, or have practised upon it. He has
urged it upon our own Government, but with
out success. He has communicated it to sew
eral Of the European Governments, and with
better success we judge, than with his own
We find the following paragraph in cOnlmu-
nicatiOn from the correspondent Of the New
York Times, dated London, Sept. 17th
The report Of the French commission
says that it has been fully ascertained, both at
Paris and elsewhere, that rain water il pro.
phylactic Of cholera, and that the disease has
never proved an epidemic in any city where
rain water is exclusively used.

% An English paper mentions singular
manner Of recovering the body Of a persen
drowned. A labOrer was drowned at the Isle
of Wight, but it was known exactly where he
fell into the water. The circumstance being
made known to one Of the Coast Guard he
assured the bystanders that if the party was
droWnd in the neihgbOrhood he would discover
the body by means Of a new loaf Of bread, in
which should be deposited three ounces Of
quicksilver, when the loaf would float till it
rested over where the body might lay"
However extraordinary it may appear, the
experiment was tried, and on the loaf becoming
stationary. boathook was put overheard be-
meath it, and brought up the body The man
states that this is the fourth instance in which
the experiment has been tried by him with
success.

PRIM PEOPLE.-There is a set Of people,
says Dr. Chalmers. whom cannot bear the
pinks Of fashionable prOpriety-whose every
word is precise, and whose every movement is
unexceptionable; but who. though we'll versed
in all the categories Of polite behavior. have
not a particle Of soul or Of cordiality about
them. We allow that their manners may be
abundantly correct there may be elegance in
every gesture, and gracefulness in every pos
sitiOn not simile out Of place, and not step
that would not bear the measurement Of the
severest scrutiny. This is all very fine but
what want is the heart and the gaiety of social
intercourse-the frankness that spreads ease
and animation-the eye that speaks affability
to all, that chases timidity from every bosom,
and tells every man in the company to be
confident and happy. This is what conceive
to be the virtue Of the text, and not the sick
ening formality Of these who walk by rule, aud
and would reduce the whole Of human life to
a wire-bound system Of misery and constraint.

1[ Women have a much nicer sense Of
the beautiful than men. They are. by far,
the safer umpires in matters Of propricty and
grace. A mere school girl will be thinking
and writing about the beauty Of birds and
flowers, while her brother is robbing the nests
and destroying the flowers. Herein is a great
natural law, the sexes have each their relative
excellencies. and deficiencies, in the harmoni-
Gus union Of which lies al the wealth Of do
nestle happiness. There is no better test Of
moral excellence. ordinarily than the keen
ness Of ones love Of all that is beautiful -

pang Of Jealousy, when they see them too much

No wonder, either that it should be so, SO

to desert his business, to give up his books, to
abandon everything in short that is held most
