"KEEp Your MOUTH SHUT. Never allow the
action of respiration to be carried on through
the mouth. The nasal passages are clearly the
medium through which respiration was by our
Creator designed to be carried on. God breath
ed into mans nostrils the breath OF llfe,n prey-
GUS to his becoming living creature. The dlf-
ference in the exhaustion of strength by long
walk with the mouth firmly closed, and resplra-
ton carried on through the mouth, is inconcelv-
able to those who have never tried the expert
ment. 1t is said that the habit of carrying on
the work of inspiration and expiration through
the mouth is the origin OF almost all diseases OF
the throat and lungs. CHI

A BEAUTIFUL ExTRAor-There lies in The
depth of every heart that dream of our youth,
and the chastened wish of manhood, which nei-
ther cares nor honor can ever extinguish-the
hope of one day resting from the pursuits which
absorb us; of interposing between old age and
the tomb, some tranquil interval of reflection,
when, with feelings not subdued, but softened,
with passions not exhausted, but mellowed, we
may look calmly on the past without regret, and
on the future without apprehension. But in the
tumult of the world, this vision forever recedes
as we approach it, the passions which have agi-
tated our life disturb our latest hours, and We 60
down to the tomb, like the sun in the ocean
with no gentle and gradual Withdrawing of the
light of life back to the source which gave it, but
snlen in its fiery glow long after it has lost its
power and its splendor.

NIcARAGUA.-As this country has for some
time past attracted much of the public attention,
and is likely to do so for some time to come, q
geographical description of it might be of inter-
est to many readers who meet every dsy with
newspaper accounts of events occurring there,
and we accordingly subjoin the following on the
subject from the Louisville Journal:
Nicaragua lies between the 10th and 10th
parallels of north latitude; it has an average
length of $50 miles to breadth of about 220,
consequently has an area of about $4,000 square
miles, which is about the size of the State of IL
linois One tenth part of the whole surface of
the State is covered by the Lake of Nicaragua,
which is ITO miles long with an average breadth
of 40 miles, and lies in the southwestern part
of the State, ten or twelve miles from the Paci
fc Coast. This lake receives great many small
streams of water, and discharges them again
through the river San Juan, pronounced San
Wan,) which, running from the southwestern
end OF the lake, after course of about 100 miles,
empties into the Caribbean Sea, at Punta Aren-
as, in the southeast corner OF the State. 1t was
at this point that Walker landed with $50 ofhis
military followers on the 25ti day of last month.
The river is deep, but narrow and crooked, anu
is navigable for small steam vessels from its
mouth to the lake. Nicaragua is bounded on
the south by Costa Rica, the most southern OF
the States of Central America on the north by
the State of Honduras east by the Caribbean
Sea; and west by the Pacific Ocean. 1t has a.
bout 800 miles of coast on either ocean. 1t was
on the southwestern side of the lake, and in
the vicinity OF Rivas and Grenada, that most of
Walkers military exploits were performed. .
Nicaragua has population Of 250, 900 in all,
counting the remnants of the Aboriginal tribes,
half-breeds, and Spanish of the last there are
but few, but they are in fact the strength of the
State, being mostly priests and officers of govern
ment and owners of the soil and masters of the
native population. Nowhere, perhaps on the
continent of America has the original population
reached SO great depth of human degradation
as in the Central American States. With no
prospect but extinction or the most abject sla-
very before them, they are indolent, vicious,
faithless, and filthy to the last degree, subsist-
ing on the spontaneous bounties of nature, and,
when this resource fails, on any description OF
ofal or garbage that presents itself to their de-
PRAYED palates. The climate is warm, and they
require but little clothing, and this little is so
filthy as to render the sight of them unbearably
loathsume. Whether Walkers success would
improve their moral or physical condition is a
fair subject for speculation"

AMERICANS AND SwIss.-We copy from the
Revenue de Geneve the following story
An American returning lately with his guide
from the glacier of the Rhone got into an alter
cation with him and struck him with his fist
The guide OF first did not seem to be offended,
but arriving at the village, he requested the A
merican to pay him thirty francs, if he did not
wish to be stoned by the inhabitants. What
could our Yankee do9 Resistance was impossl.
BILE; he would have been sacrificed. He asked
the guide if he would take another such blow tor
thirty.fve francs more. The guide willingly a.
greed and the powerful Yankee struck him
stunning blow of his fist, but the mountalneer
did not even frown, and the two gentlemen part
ed the best of friends

BUYING OFF A LovER-Two young gents in
Clarksvlle, Tenn, simultaneously fell in love
with the same young lady, and each enormously
supposing the other to be formidable rival,
both were exceedingly jealous In order to set
tie their claims without submitting them to the
lady herself, one of the gentlemen said to the
other-"Sir, will give you five hundred dollars
if you will retire from the field, or l will take
that amount ard back down." The gentleman
to whom the proposition was made accepted,
thus paying $500 for the chance of winning
lady's hand. This don't look like hard times, es-
pecally as courting is free thing.

Amusing Scene at Court.

An English journal reveals some amusing Incl
dents of the presentation of the Siamese Ambas
sadors to Queen Victoria: r lc7s1 a
The Queen and her Court were assembled in
state, and as soon as the door of the audience
chamber opened, the Ambassadors and Their
suite, eight persons in all, appeared. Having
made profound salaams, they threw themselves
on their hands and knees, and in compact body
went up the room on all-fours to the throne
The royal gravity was sorely tried by this pro-
ceeding but when the principal Ambassador,
increasing his prostrations, laid his chin on the
step of the throne, and in that attitude COM
menced TO read his address, the trial became
painful. The exit from the Queens presence
was accomplished by retrogade movement on
all-fours likewise, the Ambassadors keeping their
faces always to her Majesty. There was lun-
cheon served in one of the state apartments, in
the course of which their Siamese excellencies,
to the intense horror of the assembled court, lit
their pipes and began to blow comfortable
bly, and good naturedly laughed, and said moth
ing about it, notwithstanding her aversion to
the fragrance of the tobacco plant The Court
Journal says AT the dinner party given by
Her Majesty at Windsor Castle, to the Siamese
Ambassadors, fnya, Muntri, Cuoi, nangle, tne
first Ambassador, being of royal blood, occupied
the seat of honor close to the Queen, at the ta-
BILE. His excellency is no mean proficient in
English. The Queen entered into conversation
with the Ambassador, who, on the whole, ac-
quilted himself remarkably well. The Siamese
Ambassadors have received several small par
ties to breakfast at their hotel At these repasts
the Siamese do the honors with bonhommie.-
There is an idea that they are forbidden the use
of wine; this may be the case, bu they still take
care to provide it most hospitality for their
puests ,-...l..--.i Z. .l.. .,r .... .--. 4-.

POETRY.


Matrimony.
Matrimony is a nut
For every mans digestion;
When the shell, if fairly cracked,
Pop! goes the question:
Pretty girls will sigh and blush
Simper all they can, sir
Till, from out their pouting lips,
Pop goes the answer.
Cupid fans'the holy flame
Rankest kind of arson
When it gains certain height,
Popl goes the parson.
Quite through the honeymoon
Made ofrosy colors-
Into sundry dry goods tills,
Pop! goes the dollars.
When the;year has shown its tail,
Round the corner, (may be,)
Out upon the happy world,
Pop goes the DaDy.
Mother gives it catnip tea,
Father gives it brandy,
And adown its gastric tube,
Pop! goes the candy.
Madame lets her husband scold,
She must be the whipper;
And above the youngsters heels,
Pop! goes the slipper.
Bachelor who lives next door,
Stands it for season;
But, before the year is out,
Pop! goes his reason.
Maiden lady, up the stairs,
Stamps each moment faster,
Till, from the ceiling underneath,
Pop goes the plaster.
Dirty, ragged little boy,
Meath the window fingers;
Thumb applied unto his nose,
Pop! goes his fingers,
All around the neighborhood,
Such antics are enacted;
And while mamma is scolding him,
"Popr' goes distracted.

At sunset we reached Gaets. This place a.
bounds in historical interest, and it was here
that the Pope found refuge, when he fed from
the Republic in 1S49. Among the legends of
the place is one to the effect that he and the
King of Naples, who had come to visit him in
his exile went on board of an American frigate.
The commander welcomed them in these terms

ga Big GUN."-A monster mortar has been
tried at Woolwich, England, with 70 lbs. of
powder, though its full charge is 800 lbs. The
shell is one yard in diameter, and, unchanged as
it was in the experiment, it tore up stones, and
piled the earth as high as small house and fill
ed the air within radius of 200 yards with
earth, stones and roots of trees. The monster
is compounded of wrought and cast iron, in sep
arate pieces, tightly hooped together. AT the
