A New Observation-Disclosures Of the
Missouri Compromise Voted Down.
W.oorrc-oy Ion Oe


Mr. Dunn offered a resolution, d~eclar-
lug,
1st. No one should be elected Speak.
er, who does not fully and heartily sym
psthize with 8 large majority Of the peo-
pie Of the country, for the restoration of
the Missouri Compromise, or who will
hesitate to exert himself for the restora-
ton Of that restriction.
I'd. The restriction should be restored
as a proper Indication of the wisdom,
patriotism, and plighted honor of the
great statesman who imposed it as the
necessary and certain means of reviving
harmony and concord among the states
of the Union.
Sd. Useless and factious agitation Of
the slavery question, in or out oil Con-
gress, is unwise and unjust in every other
section of the Union, but until the re-
striction is restored i. is indeed a solemn
duty we owe to the past, present and the
future. s esdily and firmly to persist in
the efforts to that end.
The first resolution was rejected by one
majority. The House is now voting on
the others.

How to Eat Wisely.


DR.. Hall, in his Journal, gives the following
advice:
'sNever sit down to table with anxious or
disturbed mind; better hundred fold lntermit
that meal, for then there will be that much
more food in the world for hungrier stomachs
than yours; and besides, eating under such cir
cumstance can only, and will always, prolong
and aggravate the condition of things.
9. Never sit down to meal after any intense
mental effort, for physical and mental injury
are inevitable, and no man has right to delib-
erately injure body, mind, or estate.
8. Never 60 to full table during bodily e1-
haustion-designated by some as being worn
out, tired to death, used up done over, and the
like. The wisest thing you can do under such
circumstances, is, to take cracker and cup OF
warm tea, either black or green, and no more.
In ten minutes you will feel degree of refresh
ment and lveliness which will be pleasantly sur
prising to you; not of the transient kind which
a glass of liquor affords, but permanent; for the
tea gives present stimulus and little strength,
and before it subsidies, nutriment begins to he
drawn from the sugar and cream and bread,
thus allowing the body gradually, and by safe
degrees, to regain its usual vigour. Then in
couple of hours, you may take a full meal, pro-
vided it does not bring it later, than two hours
before sun-down; if later, then take nothing for
that day in addition to the cracker and tea, and
the next day you will feel o freshness and vig-
or not recently known.
No reader will require to be advised second
time, who will make trial as above, while it
is fact of no unusual observation, among intel
ligent physicians, that eating heartily, and un-
der bodily exhaustion, is not unfrequently the
cause of alarming and painful illness, and some
times of sudden DEATH These things being so
let every family make it point to assemble a.
round the family board with kindly feelings,
with a cheerful humour, and courteous
spirit: and let that member of it be sent from
the table in disgrace who presumes to mar the
ought-to-be blest reunion, by sulen silence, or
impatient look, or angry tone, or complaining
tongue Eat in thankful gladness, or away with
YOU to the kitchen, you graceless churl, you I'M
grateful pestilent lout that you are! There was
grand and good philosophy in the old time GUS
tom of having buffoon or music at the dinner
table,"

A MARTYR OF SCIENCE. Ilnconl,
fifty years of age, originally from Constantine,
pie and man of letters, was recently 1ound
dead in Paris, in the modest lodgings which he
occupied. 1t was proved beyond doubt that ne
had died of starvation. 1t was not want, how
ever, that put an end to his existence, for at the
time of bis death, he enjoyed a very consider
able income; but absorbed by his love OF science,
he forgot that man has body no less than
soul to provide for, and would pass whole Gays
together without taking food.
His dead body was found extended on a pile
of books and manuscripts in every known !ansu-
ace under the sun. His lodgings were full OF
them. and in some of the rooms this babel OF
literature touched the ceiling. :,
He spoke twelve languages. and was well
skilled ' IN mapy more He had filled the highest
posts ~ of honor; rank and wealth were his, but
he had renounced everything from pure love of
science The state of disorderin which his rooms
were found is indescribable As for his personal
appearance, it was worse yet. His body was
completely emaciated;;
In the lodgings of the deceased were found a
great number of rare and curious objects; among
The objects most worthy of note was complete
collection of autographs of all the most distin-
gnisbed wits. savans, and men Of letters in Eu-
rome - Scientific american.

The political liberty of this country occasion
ally extracts from foreign observers the most
earnest admiration. The late Democratic de-
monstration in New York suggests the following
reflection to the Courier des Etats Unis:
"Apart from the material proportions, and the
details of the manifestation there was charac-
ter of grandeur and an impressive lesson in what
we saw on Tuesday evening, which it is impos-
sble for us to express. To see thousands of men
parading their banners through the streets of an
immense city, and opponents of every shade and
class, without the slightest interruption from
anybody-without their own enthusiasm degen-
Grating for moment into turbulent tyranny-it
was impossible to refrain from feeling profound
admiration for q country thus capable of under
standing and practising political liberty.

WASHINGTON AND THE CoRPoRAL.-During the
American Revolution it is said, the commander
of a little squad was giving orders to those un-
der him, relative to q log of timber which they
were endeavoring to raise up to the top OF some
military works they were repairing, The tim,
Der went up with difficulty, and on this account
the voice of the little great man was often heard,
in regular vociferations of "Heave away there
she goes! heave ho! heave!"
An officer, not in the military costume, was
passing and asked the commander why he dld
not take hold and render little aid. ;,
The latter, astonished, turned around with all
the pomp of an emperor, and said, Sir am a
Corporal" u,
not aware of that" and taking off his hat and aI
bowling, the officer said, 81 ask your pardon Mr
Corporal" and then dismounted, and lifted I'LL
the sweat stood in drops on his forehead.
When the work was finished, turning to the
commander, he said, Corporal, when you. have
another such job, and have not men sufhcienT, u,
send for your Commander-in-Chief, and l Will
come and help You a second time."
The Corporal was thunderstruck. IL was
Washington who thus addressed him.

Trying to Please Everybody.
HINTS TO EDITORS.
One reader cries, your strains too grave,
Too much morality you have,
Too much about religion;
Give me some witch and wizard tales,
Of slip-shod ghosts with fms and scales,
And feathers like pigeon.
love to read, another cries,
Those moustrous fashionable lies
In other words those novels,
Composed of kings, and priests, and lords,
Of border wars and gothic hordes,
What used to live in novels.
No, no, cries, one we've had enough
OF such confounded love-sick stuff,
To craze the fair creation:
Give us some recent foreign news,
OfRus,ians, Turks, the Poles or Jews,
Or any other nation.
The man of dull scholastic lore
Would like to see little more
OF first rate scraps of Latin;
The grocer fain would learn the price
OF tea and sugar, fruit and rice;
The draper, silk aud satin.
Another cries, want more fun,
witty anecdote or pun,
A rebus or riddle;
Some wish for parliamentary news,
And some, perhaps, of wiser views,
Would rather hear fiddle.
The critic too of classic skill,
Must dip in gall his gander gull,
And scrawl against the paper;
OF all the literary fools
Bred in our colleges and chools,
He cuts the greatest caper'
Another cries, want to see
Ajumbled up variety,
Variety in all things
A miscellaneous hodge-podge print,
Composed q only give the hint)
Ofmultifairous small things.
want some marriage news, says miss,
1t constitutes my higher bliss
To hear of weddings plenty;
For in time of general rain
None suffer from drought, tits plaini
At least not one in twenty.
want to hear of deaths, says one,
Ofpeople totally undone
By losses, fire or fever;
Another answers, full as wise,
I'd rather have the fall and rise
Ofraccoon skins and beaver.
Some signify a secret wish
For now and then favOrite dish
Ofpolitics to suit them;
But here we rest at perfect ease.
For should they swear the moon was cheese
We never should confute them.
Or grave or humorous, wild or tame,
Lofty or low, it's all the same,
Too naughty or too humble;
So, brother editors, pursue
The path that seems the best to you,
And let the grumblers grumble.

EATING Doe-At q recent political meeting
in Genoa Cayuga county, one of the speakers, a
butcher and market man, named Rogers, said a.
mong other things, ''your Col. Fremont ate dog !"
Whereupon voice replied, "he never ate half as
much dog as the most of the people in this
room!" "Prove it!" exclaimed the orator
Here well known man arose, and with VIC
tcrious smile rejoined, Il should not think you
would ask any proof of man who has made
sausages for you as long as have!" 1t is need
less to add that this was clincher, and that the
point of Mr.. Rogers speech was rather blunted.
