prived Of her senses. Her husband and

Of joy pervaded her bosom, and then rea-
son was gone forever. She never has
known them since, but sits on what she

waii their fate, wringing her hands and
moaning most pitiously; while every week

~ A gentleman, well qualified to pro
nounce an opinion on a question of the
kind, who has just returned from a tour o.
inspection in the United States, has de
clared that in some of the mills now il
operation in that country there are work
men who, on account of their superior in
1l telligence, skill, and knowledge Of the prin
ciples involved IN their labors and having
g. perhaps the advantage Of superior machines
are enabled to produce four times as many
goods as many ordinary workmen employed
in a similar manner in England. One con
sequence Of his statements has been, that O

CoRPuLENcE CRME.-Mr. Bruce, in his
Classic and Historic Portraits; speaks oi
the dangers Of becoming too fat in Sparta
1.-THE ancient Spartan paid as much at
tention to the rearing of men as cattle
breeders in modern England do to the
breeding of cattle. They took charge Of
the frmness and looseness Of mems flesh,
and regulated the degree of fatness to
which it was lawful, in free state, for any
citizen to extend bis body. Those who
dared TO grow too fat or too soft for mill
tary exercise and the service Of Sparta,
were soundly whipped. In one particular
instance, that Of Nauclis, the son of Poly
bus, the offender was brought before the
EphoEig at a meeting of the whole people Of
Sparta, at which his unlawful fatness was
publicly exposed, and he was threatened
with perpetual banishment if he did not
bring his body within the regular Spartan
compass, and give up his culpable mode Of
living, which was declared to be more wor-
Thy Of an Ionian than o son Of Lacede-

LIFE OF THE WEST PoINT CADET-He
sleeps in the barracks, in room with one
other; at FIVE o'clock in the morning in
summer, and at half past five in the win-
ter, the reveille awakens him; he immedi-
ately arises, doubles up his blankets and
mattress, and places them on the head Of
his iron bedstead; he studies until seven
O'Clock; at that hour the drum beats for
breakfast, and the cadets fall into ranks
and proceed to the mess hall. Twenty
minutes is the usual time spent at break
fast. Guard mounting takes place at hall
past seven, and twcnty-four are placed on
guard every day. At eight O'Clock the
bugle again sounds, the professors dismiss
their respective stations, the cadets form
ranks opposite the barracks and march to
dinner. Between eleven and one part OF
the cadets are occupied in riding, and 9th
ers in fencing, daily. After dinner they
from two to four they are employed in re-
citations. At four the bugle sounds, and
they 90 either to battalion or light artille-
ry drill. This exercise last an hour and a
half. After that they devote the time to
recreation and parade, which takes place
at sunset. After parade they form into
rank in front of the barracks, and the
names of the delinquents are read by an
officer of the cadets. Supper comes next,
and after supper recreation until eight o.
clock, when the bugle sounds to call to quar-
ters, and every cadet must be found in his
room within few minutes at study, and
must remain there thus employed until half
past nine. At half past nine the bugle
again sounds; this is called tattoo; and at
ten The drum taps, and every cadet must be
in bed, having his light extinguished, and
must remain there until morning. IT. du-
ring the night, the cadet is found to be alb
sent from his room. more than thirty min
utes, and does not give satisfactory ac-
count of himself, charges are preferred
against him, and he is court-martialled
The use of intoxicating drink and tobacco
is strictly prohibited; so are playing at
chess, wearing whiskers, and great many
other things The punishment to which ca
diets are liable, are privation Of recreation,
ETC., extra hours Of duty, reprimand, ar.
resi-, OF confinement to his room or tent

diets are encamped, and during the encamp-
ment the instruction is exclusively military
