Politics and Intsnnerance.

One of the most deplorablc effects Of a
political career in our country, is the
tendency to make druukards even Of
temperate men. Plunged suddenly into
vortex of dissipation treated, coarted,
fvttered and caressed, it requires stron-
ger head, and frmer will, than belong to
most politicians, to resist the temptations
that every where surround them.
The very accomplishments which 60 to
make successful public man tend to
his ruin Easy, engaging manners; a
free hearted, generous disposition; desire
to be popular with the masses; are

the vessel arrived at Demerara, where
Capt. S. purchased goats and sailed fOr
home, he taking the sole n,aternal care OF
his little charge. Every pleasant day he
walked the quarter deck with his baby in
arms, and when the weather vas too
rough for it to be exposed it was handled
in the cabin on the knee of some of the
crew. 1t became a great pet with the
men, SO much So that an order from the
captain to either Of them "to take care Of
the baby that day, was eagerly and quickly
obcyed. The prettiest sight he ever
beheld, says the Captain, was when the
vessel would be going under easy sail, in
pleasant weather, to see the hardy tars
gathered around the hammock in which
the baby lay, Chat for the occasion would
be swung from the windlass to the fore
mast,) and playing with its little fingers
and pressing its cheek to make it laugh.
Nothing would delight Jack more than to
have permission to take the little pet up
into the "top," where he would caress it
for hours.
After some thirty days the vessel ar
rived at New York, when the captain,
after laying Lis ship up snug, With his
baby in his aims, jumped into a carriage
and drove to his house. lie laid the
smiling infant in lis wife's lap. She mad

herself TIE idea of proposing to her sailor
husband TO take the little stranger back

sprightiiness and beauty SO rapidly that
il spite OF herself she found her heart

closely &. they could have had it been her

Ventilation.

"Why,' says Thickscull, "vhence
comes all this clamor about Ventilation ?
Ii so vital matter, why didn't the want
OF it kill them, I'd like to know? 1 mis-
trust it's one of the new tangled isms
and closely allied to Socialism and Inf
deity p
Most conservative Thickscull, your
toreiathers didnot thrive in the absence of
ventilation, but because they tad it. 1t is
precisely because We have all departed,
necessarily and irrevocably, from their
habits that special attention to ventilation
has become so necessary. They lived far
more In the open air and less in crowded
assenblages than the present generation
does; they sat around huge fire2laces which
voraciously sucked the vitiated air UP the
chimney. They slept oftenest in spacious
unpartitiohed chambers and garrets, whence
the stars were visible through the crevices
in the sides and roof. Such bedrooms
needed no ventilators-need none now.
The mischief is that you can not have
them, or will not sleep in them. The
Lospitable old fire place has been narrowed
and lowered, or has given place to steve
or furnace the bed room is ceiled and
papered the doors are listed, the floors
cauiked, and the modern house, though
in some respects more commodious and
comfortable, is far less healthful and in.
vigorating than those it has supplanted.
Hence the necessity for special regard to
ventilation.
There were novels and dens Of old,
where the poor herded in an atmosphere
fouler, if possible, than that of our modern
churches during service, and our mansions
on sOiree nights and from these Spotted
Fever, Black Death, Plague, and other
pestilences went forth to devastate the
world. If you want these results of the
wisdom of our ancestors back again, just
blunder on in defiance of the monitions of
science respecting respiration and air, and
you will probably be accommodated

A Beautiful Dresaat tc a Tyiis.

We saw, yesterday, Captain D. W.
;stannar, G: New York, shio;naster, who
has ploughe1 the briry ware Tor thirty or
forty years. Seeing iiim, brought to cur
recollection an incident Of his life, wi:ich
il well worth noting down. Some fifteen
years ago, while lie WAS voyag;ng from
Madeira to Denerara, having on board his
ship about 2G0 Portuguese cmi gr&nts, the
appearance OF little girl baby, about t,so
months old, filed the sailors eye, and
having no child Of Ills own, he determined
to buy, beg, borrow or steal this infant,
and present it to his wife, After strong
appeal to its mother, who had without this
one pretty large and we'll assorted stock
of children on hand, and promise to
adopt it, provide for and educate it as his
own, she gave it to him. The Captain
had the child taken into the cabin and
we'll scrubbed and secured, for it had as
all Portuguese children have, too much
real estate onits hands and body generally,
and had dresses made for it out Of the ships
berth curtains. 1t was taken to its mother
every for its natural nourishment until

What a man can live upon.

The vegetarians will ind an argument
for their antipathy TO flesh, in the result Of
some experiments made in the Glasgow
prison, where it was found that ten pers
sons gained four pound of flesh each id
two months, eating for breakfast eight
ounces of oatmeal made into porridge,
with pint of buttermilk for dinner
three pounds of boiled potatoes, with salt
for supper five ounces of oatmeal prrridgej
with one half pint of buttermilk, which
cost twopenos three farthihgs per day. Ten
others gained three and half pounds Of
Ae,h, eating six pounds OF baiiel potatoes
daily, taking nothing with them but salt;
Ten others eat the same amount OF por.
ridge and huttermilk without the potatoes,
az ths first ten but for dinner had soup
they lost one and quarter pounds o
flesh each and twenty others, who had
less potatoes, but half pound Of mea
for dinner, diminished 10 sire iikcwise'
From this, it world appear that potatoes
we're better diet than smaller qusni'ties Of
animal food, at least for persons IN con-
fnemsnt the meat eaters, II they had
been allowed ordinary exercise, which an
individual usually taxes wlfer in freeloa,y
might have exhibited very different
result. ----

CORRECTION OF MISrANEJ IN THE
PuLpTr.-A celebrated teacher once pre-
scribed to his theological pupils, "NereH
correct 40 error in the pulpit unless it be
either Aeresy or nonsense" We renlem-
Der hearing clergyman say in discourse,
blessed are the eyes which hear, and the
cars tina: sec What ye see" lie did not
correct himself, and every body perceived
it to be mere slip of the tongue. We
lately read in an exchange paper, that
"Mr. Imlach, late minister Of the Muir
house, near Dundee, was remarkable for
his absence of mind. In his prayer one
day he said, %, Lord bless all ranks
and degrees of persons, from the king on
the dunghill, to the beggar on the throne
Then recollecting himself, he added, Il
mean, from the beggar en- the throne, to
the king on the dunghill." We have
often heard men make their mistakes
worse BY attempting to correct them.
They blundered in their correction more
than in the original error.

TnE AGED PAsToR's DIsMlssIoN.-h
few days since an Ecclesiastical Council
convened at Sheffield, Mass, for the
purpose Of dissolving the pastoral relation
between the Rev. James Bradford, and
the Congregational Church and Society of
that place. OF this Council, the Rev. Dr..
Todd, Of Pittsfeld, was Moderator, and
the Rev. Mr.. Clark, of Egrsmont, was
Scribe. The grounds on which the expe-
diency Of this dissolution was placed were
solely and entirely the age and mfr
mites Of the pastor. The Council
deeply regretted that it had not occurred to
the people that it would have been more
honorable and becoming had they retained
the aged pastor and settled a colleague
with him-a measure seemingly connected
with good.
