Coffee and Milk.

DR.. D. 4. Caron, of Paris, has recent
ly been engaged in investigating the eff
feet of breakfasting on this favorite bev-
erage, aud from the results, he thinks he
is justified in asserting that most of the
nervous and allied disorders which effect
the large cities are traceable to this
source. He further informs US that
wheu coffee is mixed with milk, its nu-
tritious properties are neutrallzed be-
cause of its fermentation being retarded.
Coffee and milk in bottle were twenty
seven days before they began to docomr
pose, whilst milk and sugar were only
three days. 1t is evident that the astrin-
gent properties of the coffee hinder the
digestion of the milk and, at the same
time, the caffeine (or active principle of
Coffee is set free, aud acts on the mem-
brane of the stomach in the same manner
as vegetable alkalies, producing most dis
astrous consequences to the digestive ap-
paratus. He tried many experiments on
himself and friends, and found that in a
few hours the pulse was lowerd from 80
to 68, from that it went down to Sc,
when he took some food, and it immedi-
ately rose to -. He concludes by in
forming us that many cases of irritation,
nervousness and hystera have been en-
tirely cured by gentle course Of tonics,
and giving up the use Of coffee.

If the question be narrowed down to
Tea or no Tea," we advocate the weed.
The world viii be happier and healthier
by the moderate use of any of the China
teas, in their purity. than without them.
The imnloderate use of cold water is pref
judicial to health, whether as a drink or
layenent. aud so is the immoderate use
Of bread and butter. 1t is the argument
of fanatic to say, that because the ex-
cessiye use of anything is injurious, it
should therefore be discarded altogether.
Chemistry decides that the essential
elements of coffee and tea are identical,
and are nutritious. Tea is stimulans,
and SO is any other nutritive article. That
which imparts no stimulus is not fit for
food. An ordinary meal stimulates the
pulse to greater activity by FIVE or ten
per cent.
Tea. being used warm, and at meal
time, promotes digestion BY its warmth,
the same as does any other warm drink
would do.

The Poor Boy.

Don't be ashamed, my good lad if you
have patch on your elbow. II is no
mark of disgrace l. speaks well for your
industrious mother. For our part we
would rather see dozen patches on your
jacket than to hear one profane or vulgar
word escape your lips, or smell the fumes
of tobacco on your breath. No good boy
will shun you because YOU cannot dress
as well as your companions ; and IT bad
boy sometimes laughs at your appearance
say nothing, my good lad but walk on.
We know many rich and good man who
was once as poor as you. Fear God, my
boy, and if you are poor, but honest, you
will be respected great deal more than
if YOU were the son Of rich man and
were addicted to bad habits.

A GarrOter rlattened.

On Friday night last in New York, a
big, stout, well dressed young fellow un-
dertook to garrote Mr.. Alpha Child, by
sezing him round the neck, and deman-
ding his money. Mr., G. gave him s.,
all he had, when the fellow saatched Mr..
C. $ shawl and told him if he would walk
home quietly he would not harm him.
The fellow then commenced putting on
his gloves, when Mr. Child seized a
cane which he had under his arm, and
dealt him two powerful blows which laid
him flat on the sidewalk, and then selz
ing his shawl made his escape to the Sta
ton House, from which men were imme'
dately sent, but were unable to find the

Expanding the Chest.

Those of wealthy circumstances or who
pursue sedentary employments within
doors generally use their lungs but very
little, breathe but very little into their
chest, and thus independently of position
contract wretchedly narrow, small chest
and lay the foundation for the loss OF
health and beauty All this can be per-
fectly obyiated by little attention to the
manner of breathing Recolleet the lungs
are like bladder IN their construction,
and can be stretched open to double their
ordinary size, with perfect impunity from
consumption. The agent, aud the only
agent required, is the common air we
breathe, supposing, however, that no OBJ
stacle exists external to the chest, such
as lacing, or tying i. around with stays,
or tight dress, or having shoulders lay
upon it On rising in the morning,
place yourself in an erect posture, your
chest thrown back and shoulders entirely
off the chest now inhale or suck in all
the air you can, SO as to fill the chest to
the very bottom Of it, so that no more can
be got in now hold your breath and
throw your arms off behind, holding your
breath as long as you please Done in a

Inhospitnble Treatment,

The cause of this strange proceeding ia undoubtec

have been suspected, his object dstrusted, and his

denounced as an incendiary and burglar whilst
others have declared that he was a sham and hum
bug and that they could see through him with the
greatest ease. One class of writers have amused
themselves with his tail, asserting that 1t was
nothing but gas, whilst another have assailed his
head, declaring that it was nothing but a mass
meeting of scamps and scoundrels undergoing the
penalty of their crimes. We are not at all sur
prised therefore, that the comet having restricted
bis intercourse to select circle at the Observable

Another comet is on his way, however, much
larger than the one 80 stability treated; a comet
which has appeared twice before, at intervals OF
