THE ART OF HEALTH.-Walking is the
best possible exercise. Habituate yourself
to walking very far. The Europeans pride
themselves in havhg-ubdued The horse to
the use of man, but I doubt whether we
have not lost more than we have gained by
the use of this animal. No one thing has
occasioned so much degeneracy of the hu-
man body. An Indian goes on foot nearly
as far in day, for a long Journey, as an
enfeebled white does on his horse, and he
will tire the best horse A little walk of
half an hour in the morning, when you
first rise, is advisable. 1t shakes off sleep,
and produces other good effects IN the ami
NAL economy.

Forgery by a Dog.

- - - = Il
4 large dog had been accustomed to get
bits Of money from his master to go to a
meas stall to get his lunch of fresh meat =
One day when change was short, his mas
ter gave Growler piece of white paper on
which was an order for the meat. The dog
after much urging carried it 20 the staH and
received the meat, and for several days,
when, thinking one piece of paper was as
good as another, he would pick up pieces of
white paper and carry them to the stall with
out applying to his master. 1t was not
long before long bill came in from the
meat dealer, who had such confidence in
the dog that he did not think to look at the
paper, and the dog himself was very fat
No arrest was made, and the dog occupied
as respectable position in society as ever.

Lightning-rods on a Man.

There is most singular individual in the
Twentieth Ward, whose conduct on certain
occasions for the past two months has ere
ated no little surprise and amusement. He
has always been accounted a man of strong
common sense. Yet he has not ventured
into the street for many weeks, during a
rain-storm, without lightning-rod attach
ed to him. 1t is an iron rod about FIVE
feet in length, with trio of prongs at the
top, and so bent that it hangs or sits upon
the crown of his hat, where it Is fastened,
with the upper end rising some ten inches
above him !; and the rod running down his
back outside, icing held in its place by a
band about his waist. The lower end stands
out at an angle of forty degrees, like mon
keys tail, so as to convey the electric fluid
some distance should he be struck while
walking. On all other subjects of convers
alton he is sane, but when this lightning
rod subject is touched upon, he discourses
seriously upon, the necessity of such an ar
rangement whenever it rains, believing that
the air is then filed with electricity, wheth-
er it is : thunder storm or not.-N T.

: Tying her bonnet under her chm,
/. She tied her raven ringiets IN,
But not alone In the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
They were strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry and chill
And it blew the eurls a froiicsOme race,
All over the happy, peseh-eolored face,
Till. seolding and laughing, she tied them in,
Under heT beautiful dimpled chin.
And it blew a color, bright as the bloom
OF the pinkest fuschia's tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned romping curl,
Or, in tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill
Madder, merrier chiller still
The western wind blew down and played
The widest tricks with the little maid,
As, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
Oh, western wind, do you think it was fair
To play such trick with her floating hair?
To gladly, gleefuIiy do your hest
To blow her against the young mans breast,
Where he IS gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and her dimpled chin?
Oh, EIlery Vane, you little thought,
An hour ago, when you besOught
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.

DR.. Livingston's Escape from the Lion.
Starting and looking half round, saw the
lion just in the act of springing upon me-
1 was upon little height; he caught my
shoulder as he sprang, and we both came to
the ground together. Growing horribly
close to my ear, he shook me as a terrier
dog does rat. This shock produced stu
por similar TO that which seems to be felt by
a mouse after the first shake of the cat 1t
caused sort of dreaminess, in which there
was no sense of pain, nor feeling of terror,
though quite conscious Of all that was hap
pening. 1t was like what patients partially
under the influence of chloroform describe,
who see all the operation, but feel not the
knife. This singular condition was not the
result of any mental process. The shake
annihilated fear and allowed no sense of hor-
ror in looking round at the beast. This pc
culiar state is probably produced in all ami
mails killed by the carnivora; and if so, is a
merciful provision by our benevolent Crea-
tor for lessening the pain of death.
Turning round to relieve myself of the
weight, as he had one paw on the back OF
my head. saw his eyes directed towards
Mebalwe, who was trying to shoot him at a
distance of ten or fifteen yards. His gun,
a flint one, missed fire in both barrels; the
lion Immediately left me, and attacking
Movable, bit his thigh. Another man
whose life l had saved before, after he had
been tossed by buffalo, attempted to spear
the lion while he was biting Movable. He
left Movable and caught this man by the
shoulder, but at this moment the bullets he
had received took effect, and he fell down
dead. The whole was the work of few
minutes, and must have been his dying par
oxysm of rage. -e -
In order to take out the charm from him,
the Batakai on the following day made a
huge bonfire over the carcas, which was de-
clared to be the largest they had ever seen.
Besides crunching the bone into splinters.
he left eleven teeth wounds on the upper
part of my arm. A wound from this ami
mails tooth resembles gun-shot wound; il
is generally followed by a great deal of
sloughing, and discharges and pains are felt
periodically ever afterwards. I had on a
tartarn jacket on the occasion, and I believe
that it wiped off all the virus from the teeth
that pierced the flesh; for my two compan-
ions in this affray have suffered from the
peculiar pains, while l have escaped with
only the Inconvenience of false Joint in
the limb. The man whose shoulder was
wounded showed me his wound actually
burst forth afresh on the same month of the
following year. This curious point deserves
the attention of inquirers.
