ENGAGING MANNERs.-There are a thous-
and pretty engaging little ways, which ev-
cry person may put on, without running the
risk of being deemed either affected or top-
pish. The sweet smile; the quiet, cordial
bow, the earnest movement in addressing
friend, or more ESPECIALLY a stranger, whom
one way recommend to our good regards
the inc quring glance, the graceful attention
which is so captivating when with self pos
sesson-these will insure us the good re-
CARDS of even churl. Above all, there is a
certain softness of manner which should be
cultivated, and which, in either man or wo-
man, adds charm that almost entirely
compensates for lack of beauty The voice
can be modulated so to autonate, that it will
speak directly to the heart, and from that
elict an answer; and politcness may be made
essential to our nature. Neither is time
thrown away in attending to such things,
insignificant as they may seem to those who
engage in weighter matters.

permatorrEsna. OF local weakness

DR. L. J. CZAPKAY. Lecturer on the diseas-
~ es of women and children, and chief surgeon
of the Military Hospital of Pesth. Hungary
would call public attention to spermatorrhma, or
local weakness. There is not in the catalogue of
human maladies one more to be deprecated than
this, as well because of present distress as the ul
innate results. The tone of the system under its
influence is either impaired or entirely destroyed
and class OF symptoms superinduced that unfit
man Tor the performance of any of the ordinary
duties of life. The injuries done to the physical
part of the man are truly lamentable, but trilino
when compared to those of the censorum the
great nervous center. and to the nervous system
generally. This disease. which is too often con-
sequent upon that solitary vice. sef-abuse in
wolves pathological conditions beyond the COM
prehension of the unintiated, but which are well
understood by the regular practitioner. Among
the symptoms most conspicuous are the following:
Love OF solitude, aversion to business and socie-
ty. distressing timidity, nervous excitement from
slight causes, low spirits and lassitude dulness
OF apprehension, and misanthropy. These being
functional arrangements. are often the harbngers
of horrd organic LESSONS of the brain, which pro
duces fatulty, demcntia and death.
For the cure Of this and all kindred diseases
DR., H. j. Czapkay has established his Institute.
where al may rely with perfect confidence upon
that skill which long experience and thorough
devotion to his profession has given. Those who
suffer should call without delay and use the
means by which they may recupcrate and live.

The IRoN HoRsE.-Elhu Burrit, the
learned blacksmith, has better fancy of the
iron horse than any we remember to have
seen elsewhere. Thus he describes him:
love to see one OF these huge creatures,
with sinews of brass and muscles of iron,
srtut forth from his smoky stable, and salu-
ting the long train of cars with a dozen SON
orous puffs from his iron nostrls, fall gently
back into his harness.-There he stands
champing and foaming upon the iron track,
his great heart a furnace of glowing Goals;
his ymphatic blood is boiling in his veins;
the strength Of thousand horses is nerving
his sinews-he pants to be gone. He would
snake st. Peter across the Desert of Sa-
hara, if he could be fairly hitched to it; but
there is little sore-eyed tobacco-chewing
man in the saddle, who holds him in with
one finger, and can take away his breath in
moment, should he grow restiye or vicious.
am always deeply interested in this man,
beer med as he may be with coal diluted
with oil and steam, regard him as the ge-
MUS of the whole machinery, as the physi
cal mind of that huge steam-horse.
