RIAL ESTATE SpEcULArroys.-The New
York Times predicts that speculation in
real estate is brewing in that city, which
will probably send up the prices of real
estate TO a much higher point then they
have reached in many years, if not higher
than they have ever risen. Lots which sold
a, 5000 and $500 ten years ago. are now
selling at $1,000 and lots which could
have been purchased at $1,000 would now
be regarded as cheap at $4,000.

HeHQnly flower, too!'' But she yet said
nofnng, and the poor cripple felt sad,
thinking that she had offended Rose. At
last Rose said, ..No thank you !; I have all
those Of my own"
Her father had watched what passed anx-
iou6y, for he feared Rose would take the
Hoger.. But, instead Of that she moved up
to Mh, whispering, Papa, this little girl
loyes flowers may I give her mine ?"s He
smiled glad answer, and Rose carefully
tool up her nosegay and laid it on the child's
lap and then went back quietly to her papa.
The little. girl thanked Rose, but would only
take one or two.
Morton began to talk to her, and
found that she was going to her aunt's at
Leamington, as the doctor advised it; and
she thought that if she tried to make wax
flowers some Of the ladies might buy them,
for her mother was poor.
Bose never forgot the lesson she had
taught her, and was always after that kind
herself, and tried to make others so.

Do ANIMALS REASON ?-One pleasant day
last summer, says correspondent of the
Boston Post, a small party embarked in a
wherry to visit Russ's Island. In the boat
was a Newfoundland dog. AS soon as we
had disembarked, the dog observed at short
distance about dozen cows and an old lame
horse feeding, and accordingly rushed to-
wards them barking at the top of his voice.
This attack first startled the COWS, and they
began, to retreat with considerable speed.
The horse was selected as the main object of
his assault, and imped away as we'll as he
could. The cows huddled together in a
group, and passed around among each other
for a few minutes, apparently consulting on
what was best to be done. Finally they
came forward in body, covered the retreat
of the old horse, and took the van them
selves. They then moved deliberately to-
gether in line, with heads toward the
ground and horns presented to the dog, and
drove him back defeated At every sue
ceeding rally on his part, they continued to
repulse him until he abandoned his attacks.
and then retired to grassy spot to Craze as
before. These cows actually protected their
lame associate from the assaults of the noisy
invader.

REMEDY FOR SUNsrRoKE.-Dr. Dickson,
of London, who was formerly a medical Of
ficer in the British army, disapproves entire
ly of bleeding in cases Of sunstroke, but re-
lies upon ammonia, quinine. and alcoholic
stimulants, and the prompt application Of
cold water to the head This is upon the
principle that openings vein diminishes the
power of the heart, already deficient, while
the stimulants being diffusive in their char
acter, at once tend to give vitality to every
portion of the system, and restore the circu-
lation to the standard of health. Ammonia
is preferable to alcoholic stimulants, as,
while it is equally prompt and potent in its
action, It's application is not attended with
the injurious and sometimes fatal reaction
ary effects of spirits.

ROSE AND THE FLOWER.

Rose, my pet," said Mr. Morton to his
little girl, "why are you plucking so many
fowersY'
''To take to Leamipgton, papa. I am
sure aunt will like them, they are such
beauties
'sAunt has finer of her own, love-
''Then I may keep them for myself, may
I not? They will refresh us on the road. .
A kind smile said yes :" and happily did
little Rose spring in the car.
When they came to the station Rose saw
many people outside. Among them, were
some poor, wretched children, thin and dir
ty. They looked very hard at Rose and
her bright nosegay, and one of them at last
took courage to say, ''Please give me a
fower!'
Now she was often called kind little
girl, but this time, I am sorry to say, she
did not deserve the name for, thinking,
chow can [ give my pretty carnations tc
these dirty little creatures she ran after
her papa into the station.
At last the train went off; but Rose al.
though she had been busy watching the en-.
gines, could not make herself quite easy a.
bout her flowers and the poor children,
though she tried to excuse herself by think
ing, "Oh, they could never have taken care
Of them. SO it would have been no good tc
have given them away"
At the next station, there came into the
Car where Rose was, little cripple, who
looked pale and ill> Some one whom Rose
thought was her mother, stood outside, say.
ing, with tears,~s'Good bye! God bless
my poor child!'' and a lady came to the
window and gave her fower-a gerani-
um Such beautiful one! Roses ewes
were fixed on it directly. It seemed to
please the child too, for she said, .Thank
you. Miss Lucy. Oh it is prettyp'
!. The train started, and the child kept her
eyes, which were full Of tears, fixed on her
mother, till she could see her no more, and
then she looked at her flower so fondly, and
turned it every way, that she might see all
Not fof some time did she see Rose, who
was watching her earnestly.
''That lovely geranium !'' thought Rose !;
how much more beautiful than any of nv
fowersp' and she looked at her own now
despised nosegay.
At last they came to another station
The little cripple moved slowly to the other
end Of the seat, opposite Rose She bent
forward, and said, in pleasant voice, II
think you like my flower; do take it,
Rose blushed, for she did not know that her
looks told her wishes SO plainly. She
thought, "How good this poor child is -

THE HoNoRED GUEST.

as1s..Well,0 said I, one fine morning last
week, 1 have the prospect of leisure af-
ternoon-a somewhat unusual thing to me
and, all being well, I will do a little need
fulshopping; call and pass an hour or two
with my old friend, Mrs. Ashburton, whom,
on account Of the dis nee, atenegleeted
of late; and then drop in and take friend
" cup of tea with my neice, Clara Whit
ford."5
Having completed my Household arrange
ments, l accordingly set out after an early
dinner, and, the shopping done, [ made my
first call. Mrs. Ashburton's warm welcome,
pleasant talk, and cheerful freside, would
have proved strong temptations to induce
me to accept her invitation to remain for
the evening, had I not felt anxious to see
my neice, whose residence was much nearer
my own.
On arriving at Clara's door I was little
surprised to see no light in the front part OF
the house. II am afraid they are not at
home," thought I, with regretful mental
glance backward at the pretty home picture
I had just left But was mistaken. A
servant came in answer to my ring at the
door-bell, and, ushuring me into the dining
room, lighted the gas and went to summon
her mistress. I had ample time to look a.
bout me before Clara made her appearance,
and could not help admiring the perfect or.
der and good taste which prevailed in both
the apartment and its furniture. was the
more pleased to note this, as my niece, wher
unmarried, did not promise to become very
notable housewife.
= I was beginning to tire Of waiting my
brisk walk over, felt chilly in the freless
room-when Clara entered, fastening lit.
tie article of dress, evidently just assumed
Her greeting was most cordial; and yet there
was shade Of regret in her tone, when, oul
first salutation over, she said:
ssWhy, my dear aunt, did you not let me
know you were coming, and I should have
been prepared to receive you?''
....,''S ''Surely. Clara" I replied, ''no prepara-
tion is needed before you can bestow cup Of
tea on so near a relation as am. Pray dc
not make my friendly call into acrimonious
visit, or shall be tempted to run away a.
gain, in place Of waiting until after tea,
and begging Mr.. Whitford's escort home" !"
.sS'' Pray, dear aunt, do not think Of such
q thlng. l WILL light this tlre In a moment,
and the room will soon be warm and COM

So saying. Clara went to apply light
between the bars of the CRATE, when I stop

.sThen, if SO aunt you will have to ex-
cuse me for taking you into the nursery. !"
Anywhere to warm fireside, Clara; but

..No aunt, he is here" replied niece, her
color rising as she spoke.

husbands liking for the company of his first

CANT but simple preparations for the repast.
Besides these, it was impossible not to feel
the thorough comfort difused around us.
.'My NIECE" said [ to Mrs. Ashburton,
''was afraid of causing you inconvenience
by coming unawares, and taking two places
at your tea table by Storm
A CHEEKY laugh from Mr.. Ashburton,
and bright smile from his wife, followed
my words. ssMrs Whitford," said the gen
tleman, 81 am the most fortunate fellow in
the world, for nothing ever causes my wife
Inconvenience. You understand me, dare
say-I mean none Of those domestic inva-
sions which are usdally expected to cause a
hustle. She has zpeculiar theory of her
own, which she most thoroughly reduces to
practice, consequently we are always able to
welcome friend, however unexpected the
guest may be-"
Clara blushed, and stammered few words
in reply; and perceiving her confusion, ]
changed the conversation
On our way home, after spending de
Ilightful evening, my niece was unusually
silent; but at length she asked if could
tell her what theory Mr.. Ashburton allud-
ed to when he said. Here she hes
itated.
Il understand you, Clara" I answered
''and [ can explain it in a few words"
Mrs. Ashburton says that, being sure oi
the daily presence of one guest at her table
whom she wishes to honor above all others
she always prepares for that one, and is O
course ready for any visitors, at any time.
"But 1 saw no guest besides ourselves

.'Did you not? And yet the person
alluded to was there"
"Where? whom do you mean? You are
jesting."
+ ssIndeed. my dear Clara, I am not. The
one whom Mrs. Ashburton considers worthy
of all honor is her husband. She says, anc
I think justly, that she should deem hel

Clara did not speak in reply; but w6ef

GENTLE WORDS.

A young rose in the sammer time,
., Issbeautiful to me,
And glorious the many stars
. That glimmer on the sea;
But gentle. words and loving hearts,
And hands to clasp my own,
Are better than the brightest flowers,
Or stars that ever shone
The sun may warm the grass to life,
The dew, the dropping flower,
And eyes grow bright and watch the light
Of autumn's opening hour;
But words that breathe of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time,
= And brighter than the dew.
It is not much the world can give;
- With all its subtle art,
And gold or gems are not the things
To satisfy the heart,
But, O, if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smile,
How beautiful is earth!

ARE THR Men OF THE SOUTH DEGENERA-
TING PHYSICALLY ?-Is a question which is
being determined by research, the inquisi-
ton having been commenced last fall. The
question was raised by the promulgation of
Northern theory, that the influences of
in the South had induced a special degene-
racy in the physical conformation of our men,
The system adopted has been to take the
average weight and stature at various mill
tary academies and medical colleges, and
the result is an entire refutation of the theo-
ry, and would be even more decidedly so
had any plan been devised and acted upon
for arriving at the average of the general
population, for students as class, necessa-
rily lack, from the manner of their lives, the
weight and development which follows from
active pursuit of the mechanic arts, agricul-
tural occupation, &c. The average height
of forty-two students of the University of
Louisiana, as furnished by DR.. Mott, was
feet 10aa inches, and their average weight
1454 pounds. Of108 students Of the Ten
nessee University, 5 #. 10 inches, weight
$50 pounds. Of rs students of Jefferson
Medical College, 5 #. 9 inches, weight 145
pounds. Of $50 students Virginia Militia
ry Institute, 5, #. 8 inches, weight 1414
pounds. From the above it will be obsery-
ed that the men of the Louisiana College
were the tallest, those of Tennessee Uniyer-
sity the lightest. We have no statistics OF
Northern men to compare with these, but
we doubt if any exhibit from those regions
would bear any favorable comparison with
the foregoing Mobile Register.
