continually encountered with opportunities

out, in accordance with the annoying Gus.

fellow caught him by the arm, and clamor-

PREcocIoUs CHILDREp-A writer in Black
soood's Magazine has the following sensible
remarks upon the system of unnatural fore
ing many parents adopt in training their
children in order to crafty their own pride
with their preternatura displays of smart
ness:
elbow have heard you, Eusebips, pity
the poor children! remember you looking
at group of them, and rejecting, tFor Of

years of age, with book in its infant
hands, is fearful sight! 1t is too often the
death warrant, such as the condemned stu
pidity looks at--fatal, yet beyond his COM
prehension. What should child three
years old-nay, five or six years old-be
taught? Strong meats for weak digestions
make not bodily strength. Let there be
nursery tales and nursery rhymes. Iwould
say TO every parent, especially 10 every
mother, sing to your children; tell them
pleasant stories; if in the country, be not
too careful lest they get little dirt upon
their hands and clothes; each is very much
akin TO MS all, and in children's out.of-
door play soils them not inwardly. There
is in it kind of consanguinity between
all creatures; by it We touch upon

Dreams and Aspirations.

From the experience OF many observers,
and my own, (says DR.. Forbes Winslow, } it
seems evident that in all cases of incubus, a
disturbance of the circulation is the predis-
posing cause, and the dreamer thus affected
invariably seems TO lose all power over the
voluntary muscles, and this condition OF the
muscular system differs from others 10 be
subsequently indicated. And, further, we
make remark, that in true incubus the inter-
costal muscles are implicated, hence the im-
potent efforts of The dreamer 10 resist attacks,
and so forth. One example will suffice 10
illustrate the latter Abatement -
ia gentleman or our acquaintance, OF a
robust, active temperament, and well formed
head, dreamed that he saw low, dirty look.
ing boy open his bed room door, and in the
most impudent manner stare him in the
face, seemingly without needing that he was
wide awake; and from this circumstance he
became alarmed, from conviction that
there was some adult associate at the out.
side of The bedroom; that he attempted,
nevertheless, 10 speak 10 the intruder, but he
could not; and yet he saw. with sense Of
indignation, the juvenile thief open different
drawers, from one of which he extracted a
gold watch, and diamond studs and rings,
with handful Of notes and bag of sover-
eigns ; and after packing them up, deliber-
aiely, the delinquent came up TO his bedside,
aud with uiusr iupudcnt leer, uudded his
head, and said, s'Good night, old chap.n The
wrath OF the sleeper was SO great that he
tried hard to rise and seize the thief, but he
could not; he was equally impotent in the
attempt 10 throw something at him, or 10
make ary roise TO arouse his servants. Bu,
these efforts awoke him, lying upon his lei,

ply of blood, and TO an excessive supply Of

THE WORLD WITHIN.

Many tell Us Of The beauties
Ofthe world wherein we dwell;
OF the forest, rock and fountain,
Ofthe crystal light and dell,
OF The onward ties thai chain us
Wnh holy binding spell
OF the gentle word Of kindness,
That invite us-that is well.
Sill there's world of beauty
Lies hidden from the view
The sacred world within us,
With its varied shape and hue.
Who can rsad the happy spirit
Who can paint the pleasing scene?
Are not thoughts that thus inherit
Bfishnefr Than gems may SCENT
Have mol hopes more verdant foliage
Than the palm or forest tree?
Do not thoughts more gently ripple
Than peaceful mooo.lit seal
Though the storms of adverse fortune
On the outward world ma fTown,
Still the inward world may glisten
With a radiance all ifs own.
The rock msjestic towering,
The cavern-bounded shore,
Asy be matched in minds imagining
Till time shall be no more;
The oceans vast expansion,
With its faihomless abyss,
And treasures deeply hidden,
Are small compared this.
The minds insatiais longing s
endless motions rife,
Knows no ending or limit
Through the active path Of life;
Even then IFS powers expanding
When ebis word no more is seen,
Proves the beautiful enduring
OF the world that dweIIs within.

The Norwegian and Swedish Lapps make
cheese of reindeer milk, and carefully save
for use all the whey, &c. They milk their
animals summer and winter, and freeze the
milk which is set apart foi cheese. The wo-
men consider this as a great luxury. It is
remarkable for its pleasant odor, and has a
ready sale in Norway at rather high price.
The Russian Larps have no idea OF making
cheese from their reindeer milk, although
the manufacture, beyond doubt, would be
of great advaniageto them. The milk is dis
tingnished for its excellent flavor in color

stage OF contraction is reached, a person
had better make his will, and all olher
necessary arrangements for an untimely
death.
1t just as easy TO have broad chest
and fully developed lungs as is 10 have
them contracted; yet there is only one way
given, "uuder heaven or among men,"
whereby this result may be attained, and
that is TO breathe properly. In the first
place, if you would do this, you must keep
erect, whether sitting or standing; and then
you must breathe fully-that is, you must
fill the lungs to their very bottom. Further
more, you should often give the lungs an
extra, strengthening, by throwing back your
arms and shoulders as far as possible, draw
ing in all the air you can, and then letting it
off by the slowest process. This invigorates
the whole system, and soon becomes luz
ury which one will not dispense with. tits
particularly necessary fol. persons of seden-
tary habits, such as clerks, shoemakers,
tailors, teachers, etc. These persons should
never allow themselves to sit in stopping
posture; and as often as every half hour
should get up and fill their lungs in the
manner just described.
There is style particularly common with
Young America, of sitting with the heels as
high or higher than the head. What is
more common than to see a man reading
his newspaper, or smoking cigar, with
his feet perched upon desk, or some OBJ
ject higher than his chair? The practice is
at once vulgar and mischievous, and, long
continued, can but result disastrously to ths
health.
The true position OF the body is indispens.
able. A person should make it matter of
serious and solemn duty not to get into the
habit of STOPPING. They can soon get ac-
customed 10 it, that it is as easy 10 stand
erect as TO bend. Those in the habit of
STOPPING may find it quite struggle 10 over
come it; but the reward will rickly repay
the labor. Not only should the STOPPING
posture be avoided through the day, but
also in bed. The position should be such
during sleep that the lungs will imbibe the
greatest possible quantity of air
This leads us TO remark upon the ventil-
alton of sleeping apartments. Itis an amaz-
ing fact that hundreds of families sleepwith-
out fresh air, carefully closing all the doors
and windows that can admit any, as though
it were an enemy against which they were
10 barricade their castles, instead of a. friend
without which they can not live. The air
of a bedroom is thus breathed over and
over again, till it becomes impure and un-
healthy; and by this means the system is
enervated, and disease is engendered.-
Dwellings should be built with an eye to
this important matter of ventilation; but
even where they are not, partial remedy
exists, for window can be raised, or a door
opened, or both.
These suggestions, as we have already
intimated, are of the simplest kind, which
every person can understand and adopt
Their importance can not be over-estims-
ted. The whole subject of physiology is
one of the greatest importance, and no man
should be ignorant in relation to the struc.
ture of his system and the proper use of its
functions--Lys Kiusirafsd.

BRrATHI Ne.-There are certain physiolog-
ical laws which, from their simplicity az
well as their importance, should be familiar
to every person. These principles can hard
ly be too often urged upon the attention of
the reading community; for it is a meian
choly fact that with all that has been writ
ten and said upon the subject of health,
there is widespread ignorance or indif-
ference in relation TO its preservation.
The process of breathing is very simple,
though the machinery by which it is per-
formed is complicated and wonderful. And
herein, at least, 'all men are created equal;1
neither can man boast in this respect over
the brutes beneath him, for all existence is
sustained by the same process. Here tho
prince and the beggar-the man of colossal
Intellect and the meanest insect, are upon
a common level.
Yet the art of breathing seems but ill
understood, or if understood but poorly pac-
ticed. Certain it is that thousands of peo-
pie of both sexes stop breathing altogether
long before they have lived 10 old age, for
the simple reason that they do not breathe
properly while they have chance Con-
sumption, asthma, and kindred disorders,
that count their victims by multitudes which
no man can number, result iaspumerous

relations, the brptes. Let children have a
free, open-air sport, and fear not though
they make acquaintance with the pigs, the
donkeys, and the chickens-they may form
worse friendships with wiser-looking ones;

importance that you should make your chil;
