GYMNASrICS IN SWEDISH SCHOOLS-Special
pains are taken in the public schools of Sweden
to develope the physical as we'll as the intellec-
tual powers of the pupils. The following ac-
count Is given OF the system which the Swedes
pursue
Every school building has its large high
room, with earthen or matted feor, and all sorts
OF implements for developing the muscles
ladders, poles, wooden horses, cross. bars up TO
the roof, jumping places, ropes for swinging,
knotted ropes for climbing, &c The scholars
are not allowed to exercise on what they wish.
but there is a regular scientifically arranged
system. They are trained in squads, and move
and march, sonnet mes to music, at the word of
command
At large public school in Stockholm, I saw
the lads In their noon lessons of gymnastics
The teacher gave the word, and dozen sprape
out toward tall pole with cross bars. and
ciambering up it, each hung with his legs
then. at the word all together dropped their
heads backward, and hung by the feet and
ankles, then again recovered themselves, and
let themselves down. Another party, one after
the other, squirmed up a naked mast; another
pulled themselves up hand over hand on a
knotted rope; others, in succession, pIayed
leap-frog over a wooden horse; then thew
marched to the beat Of the drum. The smaller
or weaker boys begin with the lowest grade of
exercise, and follow up, according to a scientific
system, arranged for health. They all seemed
to 90 into it with the greatest relish, and
showed we'll trained muscular power. I could
not but conclude that the superior phvsigne of
the Swedish men is not entirely due to climate.
hen will America learn that health and
strength have their unacceptable laws?''

CHsAP Ice HoUsE.-lt has been a preya
ent notion that ice houses must be made in the
earth-but wiser generation has discovered
that the heat Of the earth will consume ice
more rapidly than tho air. A writer in the
Agricultural, gives the following description of
one on his premises:
/ partitiOned of the northeast corner of m v
woodhouse, which opens to the west and is Is
feet wide. The ice roOm is about feet square:
is clspboarded on the studs on the north and
east, and lined on the inside, leaving the inch
space between empty. On the south is an inch
board partition. just tight enough to hold saw
dust. On the west slip in boards, like bars
to any height / wish To pile my ice, and leave
the upper part open, just as is convenient
This is my house
IS Into 1t, on the ground, put from to II
inches Of sawdust, theE put in my ice, one foo
from the partition on every side, packing ii q.
closely ss can, and in as large blocks as car
conveniently handle. 1 then fill the space.
next the partitions with sawdust, and a gooS
depth, (say one foot) over the top, and il ii
done for the year. :. ...--
have practised in this way for two year
past, and bad all wanted. for dairy and othe
uses, and to give to my neighbors, and ha,
plenty Of good ice left last week. "

The PLEASURES OF HEAVEN. Jeremy Tay.
Ior, speaking Of the widow of blacksmith, who
was constantly laboring to procure the neces-
saries of life, thus quantity portrays her char
acter: "Thus she lived, poor, patient and
resigned. Her heart was a passion flower,
bearing within it the crown of thorns and the
cross of Christ. Her ideas of heaven were few
and simple. She rejected the doctrine that it
was the place of constant activity and not of
repose, and believed that when she at length
reached it she would work no more, hut sit in q
clean white apron and sing psalms"

STARTLING DIscLosUREs.-The Cleveland

STARTLING DIscLosUREs.-The Cleveland
Herald of the oath, has the following:
For two years past, an honest Dutchman has
suspected his employer, Mr.. Nelson Hinkston
Of design to FIRE his buildings. Mr. Hink-
ston has heretofore borne an irreproachable
character, was a citizen in good standing, and
carried on an extensive shoe business was
aftiuent in circumstances, respected by his fell
low townsmen, and happy in his domestic rea-
hons. The Dutchman-we are sorry not to
know his name-has been keeping watch of
Mr. Hinckston's movements and thinking from
certain circumstances that the torch was about
to be applied to the block. communicated his
knowledge TO the others, and the Prosecutor of
summit county, Mr.. Mckinney took the mat
ter in hand.
The buildings owned by Mr. H. are in the
centre of large block of wooden structures,
and had be carried out his design, the confla-
grafton would have laid an important part of
the village in ashes. On an examination of the
premises, under the direction of the info ,mer
II was found that Mr.. Ii. had made his build
ing into a network of combustible material
from cellar to garret. He had bored holes in
the walls inserting small balls of waxed ends
enveloped in tissue paper, and he had connected
these from story to story, 50 as to thoroughly
IRE the Joists in the partitions and introduce
the flames under the plastering, and by all
imaginable contriyances, had he laid his dia-
bolicsl plads, 50 as to fash his whole building
into an instant blaze. Near this building, too
was his own family and that of brother. and
many others.
hen the plot was discovered, and the Dutch
man told Mr.. III how long and how faithfully
he had watched him, Mr. Hinkston made a
clean breast of the matter, and confessed that
1t was his design to fire his building, and thus
secure the insurance money. He said that two
or three times he had been upon the point of
touching of the train, but his heart failed him,
What inStigated him to the act he does not
KNOW, rs his circumstances easy, he being
worth sl5, over and above his debts, and
doing good business. His property has been
assigned for the benefit of his creditors, as Mr.
II was arrested and held to bail As there is no
offence by Ohio statute in setting fire to one,
own property, of course Mr.. u. could not be
held, and yesterday he was discharged by the
Probate Judge of Summit county

THE MORMON WAR SONG.

Ihe Mormons, it is said, will not fight but
run; at present, they are temporising and
managing at such a rate that 1t is difficult to
say what they will do. OF course, however,
when there is a question Of war in the land,
there will be plenty of frey heads ready to
cry, up the banners TO the outward walls and
die in the last ditch. small indication how
ever, that there are certain among the saints
who believe that most of the fighting will be
done directly by the Lord, is given in the mum
Der OF the Deseret News, of Nov. l1th, in
which We ind a curious sort of war song hymn
entitled /" The Rocky Mountains" by W. W.
Phelps, which goes to the very lively air of
Hey the bonnie breast knots"-a most extra.
ordinary tune for the subject. The Fl rst verse
is as follows:
The glory that to Abra'm shined,
Before he Christian word refined
The ancient gospel for mankind,
Shines through the Rocky Mountains.
CHoRUs-Hey the Rocky, no the Rocky,
Hey the Rocky Mountains
The sacred chambers Of the Lord,
Thi bulwa ks of Jehovah ;"
The concluding verses of this precious lyric
are characteristic Of Mormon literature as
well as inspiration
"Away there shines the Mormon lamp,
here many watch their country's camp,
And may he now and then scamp
That's herded at their pleasure
CHoRUs-Hey the Rocky, no the Rocky, &c.
When Japeth's hired servants come,
n thousand miles or more from home.
Their West Point science seemeth dumb
Where fire and straw translateth
CHoRus-Hey the Rocky, no the Rocky, &c.
The GENTLE wareth with his hands
The Mormon with his heart, and stands,
III pure. like gold for Gods commands;
And God doth fight his battle.
CHoRus-Hey the Rocky, no the Rocky, &c.
This poem appears at the head of the famed
Deseret News, and may be regarded as official.
The reader will agree with us that if the Nor
mons cannot fight better than they sing, the
United States troops will have but little to
dread for the epresent-Philadetphia Bulletin
