or fall; into dccrcpitude and Weakness
What would seem to be demanded is-some-
thing that while it innocently amuses the
mind, will exercise the physical powers at
the same time. The boys have it exactly
upon the college green in playing ball and
a variety Of. other rsports., While they prac-
tice this vigorously, who ever heard Of one
Of them, having the blues or dyspepsia, or
indulgingin any secret aud horrid vices 3
And this is what the boy wants when he be-
comes man. This is what our grave NOR
chants and lawyers and preachers, and
shall we include editors 9-necd. 1t would
do them good, not "like medicine but
infinitely more than all the medicines in the
matcria medica. With creation like this
they might indeed "throw physic 10 the
dogs"
We do not suppose it is practicable to
realize this in large cities where it is chiefly
.quired, but if it could be, boon would
be conferred upon suffering humanity that
would oonbe felt. Some rich men in New
York, we are told, have had gymnasia con-
structed in their houses on purpose to meet
the necessity we have referred to. How
can the luxury be supplied to the multitude I?
In many off the cities in Europe this subject
has received the attention Of philosophic
men, and, to considerable extent, efforts
have been made to supply the dcsiderata
by public gymnasia, where the physical
system may unbend itself, where down-trod-
den nature may recupcrate, and obtain
again that natural equipoise necessary to its
harmonious and healthy existence. In this
country, however, we are in such hot haste
after the " almighty dollar" that we cast all
such matters to the winds, unless, indeed,
they can be made to "pay" handsome
per ccntage in solid cash, in which case we
ego in" with rush for them.
Let lis not be told that this is matter
Of little moment. How many of our mer-
chants can stand the close confinement of
their counting rooms uninterfuptedly for
even three or four years, without becoming
bankrupt in health, and being compelled to
leave all and take a voyage to Europe, or
somewhere else, to square up the sanitary
ledger, which, alas not unfrequently is
neglected SO long that all attempts to bring
order out Of chaos prove abortive. All this
might be avoided by a proper division Of
time into labor, rest and rational recreation.
business and health arc not incompatible.
The subject is deserving Of mature reflection.

FASHIONABLE SINS.

"An English clergyman" writing to the
Times, gives the following sketch of fash
ionabe life:
"Therc was six months ago a celebrated
shop called 'Harding's.'e Everybody about
town knew that fashionable resort in Pail
mall. From the Queen downwards, it was
the high place for high dress. True, the
prices were high likewise; but, then, as
the fair habitues were wont to say, 'You
know the workwomen are we'll paid, well
fed, well treated there is no slavery there.
Yet one day last November the house was
closed. How was this? An excellent con.
ncction, great reputation, an old established
house, with great capital originally to back
it, it had been losing money for years.
How could this be2 It was for this reason,
because these ladies -the highest and
fairest of the land--whose names figure in
endless charitable societies, who pay ho-
mage to Mrs. Beecher Stoge as the thorn,
in the side of slavery, and fall down and
worship Bishop. Lawnsleevcs as the recrea-
tor Of evangelical religion-because these
ladies would not pay their milliner's bills.
The Queen could set good example. She
could pay regularly every. quarter for what
abe required; but three. years at.soonest

MORE FUSS THAN FEATHERS.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian had the
following good story among its police re-
ports:
AS Mrs. Esther stansbury, residing in
court running from Race, below Sixth street,
was about to bring bucket Of water from
the hydrant last night, sho found an old
basket suspended from the knob Of the
front door. Putting her hand into the
basket, she felt something alive and kicking
but so wrapped up in rags that no farther
discovery could be made without unwfap-
ping the object. A pieco of paper, folded
like letter, lay by the side Of the anima-
ted bundle. Mrs. Stansbury Immediately
returned into the house, and by tho light of
the lamp examined the billet. 1t was di-
rccted to her husband. She TREMENDOUSLY
broke the seal and read rs follows:
To John Stansbury-Sir: send you
the baby, which YOU will please take good
care of, and bring up right, so that it may
turn out to be better man than it's daddy.
Oh, Joseph what a sly old rake you are
Who would think that such a sober old
spindIeshanks could be such n tearing. down
sinner! The child is yours-you may
swear to that Look at tit is Joe
Stansbury all over. You deceived me
shamcfully, Joe-lctting on to be wild
over!
But do fathers duty by the young one,
and I'll forgive you.
"Iour heart-brollen NANCY"
"P. S.-Don't let that sharp-nosed wife
Of yours see this letter. Cannon her
with some kind of story about the
| baby. N"
Mr.. Stansbury was in the basement
kitchen quietly eating his supper, and little
imagining what a storm was brewing over
his head. The door of the kitchen was
violently thrown open, and his wife's voice
yelled out
stansbury, come up here, you william
Here's mess for you!"
The astonished Stansbury hastily obcyed
tho summons.
Don't YOU want to see Nancy, the
heart-broken Nancy 2" cried Mrs. Stans-
bury, when her guilty husband hobbled up
into the room.
"Nancy! what Nancy's that?' said
the sly old rogue i'll well-fcigned astonish-
ment.
"Why, Nancy, tho mother of this
baby that's been hung up at the door, Mr..
Stansbury! Oh, you look mighty innocent,
but just read this letter, and then look into
that basket! Don't DO afaid-it won't
bite; it's got no teeth, poor thing. You'll
know it; for, as the hussy says, it's just
like you, all orer. Please goodness, I'll ex-
pose you before everybody"
In less than five minutes, Mrs. STAINS
bury had collected room full of specta-
tors-half the inhabitants of the court-to
witness the process of unwrappng the
baby. Anxious expectation sat on every
countcnanc, as the jealous lady tore away
rag after rag from the body of the found
ling, the vigorous movement of which as
tonished everybody. "It is full of tho devil
already" said Mrs. S., "that shows it's his.
You'll soon SEQ that it is like him in
everything"
At last all tho swaddling clothes being
removed, out jumped the baby, and made
its escape through tho open door. 1t was
big tom cat!

Artifcial JeaOelty.-A very curious and
interesting report was presented to tho
French Academy sof. Science, a short time
since, by an ingenious mechancian, Mon
sieur Gaudin, on tho result of many years
experiments having for object the produc-
tion of all artificial precious stones. After
90 years. labor, Monsieur Gaudin has sue
ceeded i'm fabricating limitations Of jewels
so perfect as to deceive the most practiced
eye. The limitations Of the ruby-the
most precious of all stones-has reached
rare degree of beauty and utility; for it is
preferred ty competent watchmakers as
pivots for watches, to thefreal ruby, being
equally durable and much harder. Mon
sicur Gaudin hopes and expects to be able
to produce the ruby and sapphire of suffi-
cient size to lesassd in the manufacture of
chronometers sshas clocks. There are a
great many shops in Paris devoted entirely
to the sale of false jewels, the windows Of
which present as brilliant an appearance as
those of most magnificent 6youtiers. The
rarest designs and elegant mountings are
copied in theimitations. The'price Of each
of the stones prepared by Monsieur Gaudin
will not exceed franc lie will thus enable

THE Shifting Huse of Lie.-Life has,
for an observer, such quick succession Of
interesting and amusing adventure, that it
is almost inconceiyable he should ever feel
dull or weary Of it. No one day resembles
another. Every hour, every minute, opens
new stores to our experience, and new ex.
elements to our curiosity. We are always
on the eve and on the morrow of some
surprising event. Like the moth, we are
forever flying toward star, but with this
difference, that VIC attain it; and, if some.
times we find that the halo which we fan.
cied glory is but some deceiving mist, at
least we have learned a lesson. If we look
upon life merely as humble students, we
shall not feel any great bitterness at such
dsappointments. 1t is only when4we hug
our ignorance to our hearts, that we are,
and deserve to be, miserable; when we
embrace the cloud, that we lose the goddess.
But, if We open the eyes of the mind,
and determine to be neither wantonly stu.
pid nor inattentiye, an enchanted world be-
gins to rise from chaos. The aspect even
Of the room in which we sit grows lively
with thousand unsuspected cniosities.e
We discern that the mostsordi1ssy person
is invested with some n6ticeable character:
istic. If we deign to look for FIVE minutes
at any commonplace thing, We become
aware Of its peculiar beauty; and theresis,
not a bird that wings through the air, nor
a flower that blossoms in the garden, mot
an insect that crawls IN the depths 81. the
