The NECESSITY OF EXERcIsE-The benefits
of exercise 20 those whose occupation does not
lead them to make any physical exertion can
not be too highly estimated. The body must
undergo certain amount of fatigue to pre-
serve its natural strength, and maintain all the
muscles and organs in proper yigor. This ac-
tivity equalzes the circulation, and distributes
the blood more effectually through every part.
Cold feet, or chill anywhere, shows that the
circulation is languid there. The muscles dur
ing exercise, press on the veins, and help for
ward the currents by quickening every vessel
into activity. The valves in the heart are in
this way aided in the work of sending Oh this
stream, aud relieved of certain amount of
labor When exercise is neglected, the blood
gathers too much about this central region,
and the oppression about the heart, difficulty
of breathing, lowness Of spirits, anxiety and
heavinesS, numerous aches and stitches, are
evidences of this stagnation. People are afraid
to take exercise, because they fancy they want
breath and feel weak. But the very effort
would free the heart from this burden, by urg-
ing the blood forward to the extremties it
would case their breathing by liberating the
lungs from the same superabundance it would
make the frame feel active and light, as the
effect of equalized circulation and free action.

A "Cr" AT DEER HUNr.-A city buck,
of the Broadway order, went into the country
and they invited him to deer hunt He had
seen the antler's of deer, and had lively no.
tion of venison but he knew about as little of the
live animals as he did about the gun they gave
him. They placed him where the deer was to
pass, and told him to fire as soon as he saw
him. He stood and trembled Soon he heard
the baying of the hounds, and before long
there was a cracking of bushes, and magnifi
cent deer rushed by with immense antlers and
tail erect The city buck stood still and trem-
bled. The huntSman came up, and asked him
why he did shoot ? His lips trembled,
saw nothing but the devil go by with an arm
chair on his head and his handkerchief stick
ing out behind"

FIRE BR1cK-The materials requisite for
the manufacture of good fire brick are very
plentiful in the United States. There is an
abundance of fire clay, also kaolin, the result
Of the decomposition of feldspatl;c rock which
is very common between the Allegheny noun
tains and the shores of the Atlaptic and it
is more abundant in the Southern than in the
Eastern ard Northern States. In the region
of the western coal deposits, an abundance Of
slaty clay of good quality is found and fire
clay, in one other other form, abounds also in
the Western States. In this connection it
may be remarked, that when fire brick of f.
ner composition are required, its is necessary
that the materials shonld be ground fine
The quartz sand used to increase the refracto-
ry nature of the brick should be pure. The
clay thus mixed with quartz, or pure, is subject
ed to grinding, which should be done carefully
and thoroughly, that the brick may be com
pact. Carbon, in the form of graphite or an
thraete dust, or coke dust, if often mixed with
the clay from which cruciblcs are made M
Overman states, in his work on Metallurgy
that fire brick which are manufactured and US
ed on the spot do not require baking, but only
those which are TO be transported = Scientific

isfed till the goal of ambition is reached. To
such resolution. nothing is Impossible. Diff
culties that like impossible mountains loomed
up gloomily before, vanish before it, and even
sooner than hoped, the wished for end is at
tanned
deeds are better things than words are"
Gas and humbug may for a time gain the pub
lie ear and win the public favors, but sooner or
later the emptiness of the one, and the false
show of the other are betrayed, and he who
sought by these means to blind the public eye
and gain a fortune and name, is driven to his
proper level with Kisses of contempt He who
is ready and willing to act, can ever find an
appropriate sphere in which to exert his pow
ers. There is for each one his own appropri-
ate and fitting place, which, if he fail to fill,
society feels the loss aud suffers in consequence.
Let there be no idlers Let the artisans, the
business man, the professional man, discharge
faithfully and conscenciously his duty to the
community in which he lives. This would
form the great balance wheel of the social and
business world, and constitute one great safe
guard against those resolutions in the political
and financial affairs of country that tell with
such fearful effect on its prosperity.
He who is drone in society, consumer
but not producer, is clog hpcn the wheels
of its progress. Labor, intellectual or manual,
is the imperative duty of all. We owe it to
the world that nourishes our infancy, builds up
our manhood supports and endures our old
age; and at last buries our lifeless clay. The
impudent assertion that the world owes us a
living" is worthy a place only in the creed of
the highwayman who steals his way through
the world in the dark, and foots his bills with
the devil at last The world owes US nothing
but what we earn
As strangers we have emerged from the
mists of the eternity that is past, and COM
menced our journey Of three score years and
ten Furnished with no passports or through
tickets, we are in honor bound to work our
passage. Ceaseless activity alone can accom-
plish it, With rigorous exactness Is each debt
registered in the great Day Book above and
neither earthly riches nor fame can satisfy the
the demand or stave off the day of payment.
The pure gold of worthy deeds alone is le-
gal tender and none, in that great day of set
tlement, will stand before that bar more mis-
erably insolvent than he who floods this lower
world with a shinplaster currency of bombast
and prctence, but presents nothing at his coun-
ter to redeem it but brass" NJ.

THE HUMAN ,BRAfS.-The human brain is
an oval mass filling and fitting the interior
Of the skull, and consisting of two substances,
a gray, ash-coored, or cneritous portion, and
a white. fbrous, or medulary portion. 1t is
divided both in form and function into two
principal masses; called the cerebrum aud the
cerebellum.
The cerebrum is divided longitudinalIy into
two equal hen1ispheres, and each of these, in
its under surface, into three lobes. But the
most remarkable feature in the structure of the
cerebral globe is its numerous and complicated
convolutions, the furrows between which dip
deeply down into the brain. BY means of
these foldings the surface of the brain is great
ly increased and power gained with the ut
most economy of space for it is demonstra-
ted fact, that in proportion to the number and
depth of tEe'e convolutions is the mental force
" The minds revolvings," as Wilkenson beauti-
fully expresses it, are here represented in
moving spirals, and the subtitle insinuaton of
thought whose path is through all things, is
sues with power from the form of cerebral
screws. They print their shape and make
themselves room on the inside of the skull and
are the mcst irresistible things in the human
world" PhrenOlQgicat Alnlanae

"Fs GwINE TO PREPARE TO SHOUT. THE
Marion Ala) Commonwealth relates the fol-
lowing story =" For some time back the ne
groes of this place had a religious revival 60
ing on in the Methodist Church, and which,
we learn, has resulted in some good. The
other night ludicrons incident took place,
which for the time threatened to mar the en-
ioyment of the darkies. While everything
seemed to be going on to the entire satisfac-
tion of the leaders of the meeting, tall, black
looking son of A frica deliberately rose in the
congregation, and commenced pulling his coat
off, as if preparing either to thrash some other
darkey, or give the devil, if he were present,
the best fight he could, preparatory to closing
the meeting. All eyes were turned upon the
comical attitude Of the darkey, and some Of
the more timid began to fear that melee was
about to take place in the church. This, how
ever, was not the case, for our African con-
vert, rerceiving the stir that was being made,
and the apparent agitation of the whole assem-
bly,, heloed out at the top of his voice =
Egedering and sisters, don't be frightened /;
Use only gwine to prepare to shout !" and he
gave one of those unearthly yels which vibrat-
ed through the church, and shook the windows
as if the house were falling. The darkey had
to make tracks, Or, to use the language of
another darkey, was tumbled headforemost
right out of doors by some of the brethren D

JoYFrf. MEETING OF OID AcoUAIyrANcEs.-
Herr Driesbach, the lion-tamer, who few
years ago retired from the menagerie business
and devoted himself to farming in Wisconsin,
has lately visited his old companions, the lions,
tigers and leopards, at Dubuque, Iowa, where
the menagerie containing them was stopping.
The meeting was quite affecting. The lioness,
which was particular fayorite, caught sight
of him, and her eyes beamed with pleasure,
while her tail wagged a glad recognition. On
his coming up to her, she appeared frantic
with joy, and when he spoke to her and pre-
sented his face to the cage, she kissed him and
placed her paw in his hand with the air of an
intense affection. Indeed, while he was in her
presence, she could not control herself, but
would lick his hands while he attempted to pat
her, roll over, reach out her paws to him. and
then press her nose between the bars, as though
she would like to have had closer presence.
The other animals were equally afectionate.

SPORT AMONG FIFE PYRAMIDS.---W w h le sa
Con the summit of the Great Pyramid of Egypt
to rest our wearied limbs, the lively Bedouins,
anxious to make the most of our visit, planned
all sorts of exploits to be done for so much
money, when they found us decided in refusing
more backshesh. We had, in soft, or rath-
er tired moment, when half way up given
them two shillngs to each party. For two
shiings one man offered to run up the Great
Pyramid in five minutes, which no doubt lie
would have DONE We settled, however, that
for three shllings one should with in ten min
utes, descend from the top of the Great Pyra-
mid, where we were assembled, and reach the
summit of the adjacent Pyramid The instant
the bargain was made the man disappeared
over the corner next the second Pyramid and
| reached the dizzy edge just to see him trip
ping down with as much facility as if upon the
most graduated staircase His leaps were ir-
regular to suit the stone but, although s0me
of the steps were four and even FIVE feet high,
with occasional narrow lodges to alight upon
he took them all in the same flying style He
disappeared from view after one-fourth or SO
of the descent but within five minutes he
emerged upon the uneven ground between the
two Pyramids, running like some fattened in
sect beneath u.s. The ascent of the second
Pyramid seemed more difficult than that of
the first particularly on reaching the smooth
part near the top, where the Arab had several
times to run along the parallel edges of the
stones to find irregularities for his ascent
He took eleven minutes, however and his
ccuntrymen, who regarded the hands of watch
with some interest, remarked that was too fat,
and that others would do it in the time But
we were quite satisfied. W@tgarfs FidOria
