THE PHYSIOLOGY OF TEMPER.

lion shake like aspen leaves, and quail in
! the manner of Rip Van Wink!e. But wo
men generally have IN aimiablc temper
AnI, If, at any time, it should seem 9TH
cryiSe, the cause must be sought in some
Lcrv"us excitement or imitation, or in some
partial arrangement of function by Which
mentally or physically, or both, the health
is drcrioratr'l. 1t is only right to be char
table. While one deems his friend cold or
indifferent, hc may, ut the same time, be
Iah"'i''" under inIi<posi,ion, and What com
m"n'y is called rr"vi>hncSS, might often,
more property hc drSi yna,cd, in one form or
other, i'll health. \ sour temper often GETS
its vinegar from hiishtcd hopes, as Il cross
one from adverse circumstances, or u high
one from an accelerated pulse, while the
pulse Is "f fever heat. a bad temper is
made out Of Il good one, by exposure
to too much heat, rs the kccncst blalc

Temper COWS very high sometimes hv a
single impression on the auditory nerve.
1t sometimes has risen to Il dangerous
AMI even mur'lrrous point. As in the
Farcnhci, Thermometer, the are different de-
-rc">, sucl, us Zero and the boiling point,
with Il "rc"t many intermediate ones: so
In The temper. there is Il point which NAV
l." called apathy, with various "ra,l,tiuns to
the destructive point. There are many WAYS
Of '""''ng down, hu, iii the approximation TO
the highest point is attained, it is very l:rl
cool, ;" much 50. that not uncommonly !,
can 'nlv hc Iuemch"'l in blood. At much
Il lower than this extreme heat, it In, often
been known to be fatal The best WAY is
TO adj 10 more fuc and leave temper to
cool hy rotations. This takes place often
with surprising Iuicknc>s. \ scfl answer
'nay ;Iiay the rising heat Of the most vo-
lent temper, and a soothing application Is
that o! "rntlcnc>s, which, in most eases. has
powerful effect. Natural disposition or tenn
rcr'rcn,, has mach to do with tcmpcras well
AS til" s:atc OF health. 1t is not always the
quick tempered man that is the worst. The
resentment on his pant i, soonest ended, and
he larh"rs no more spleen; willie the cold
an calculating retains anger, and is too apt
to arcn=" IN imaginary wrong he broo,ls
over. All have t;,ilin. and impc,fcc,ions Of
Some kind; and it is worth while to avoid

.Sh'mp"tc IN Il rrun Itoo,u.-Tle New
York papers say that on Monday last, in
the Police Court ut brooklyn, an Irishman
was brong Int in sentence for some offence Of
which lie had been convicted. AS he stood
there among other prisoners awaiting scn-
'encc, 1t WAS noticed that the small pox was
breaking out upon linn with great virulencc.
Immediately Il general stampede took place,
the clerk turned Shastly pale, and leancl
out Of the window; the judge, thinking the
building waS about to tumble about his ears
tulnbrd out Of the window, after the CLERK,
while the deputy sheriff and some other
officers got out Of the WAY Of infection bv
climbing among the ra'lcrs. The Irishman
got out of doors and was told to scud and
never return. The extra judicial sentence
Fat availcd himself of, with due alacricv
The Court stood adjurncG that day, no one
vcnturny back into the rcom.

Corn an" Xogs.-E'rom carefully con-
Quoted experiments by different persons, it
has been nscerlaiued that one bushel Of
corn will make !. little over 10 l2 nouuds
OF pork-gross Taking the result as :, l,a-
sis. the following deductions are made
which all farmers will do well to Law by for
Il convenient rctercncc:-
w hen corn costs 25 Cts per Luslcl pork
costs 3 cts per pound. When corn costs
33 cts per bushcI, pork costs 4 cts per
pound.
When corn costs so cts per bushcl, pork
will cost . cts per pound.
10 -1sccrt"in Tie ,Sutc Of tic Luuqs.-
Icrsons desirous to ascertain the true state
OF theii lungs, are directed to draw in rs
much breath as they conveniently can ::
they are then to count as far as they arc
able, in slow and audible voice, without
drawing in more breath. TIE number of
seconds they can continue counting must he
carefully observed; in n consumptive the
time does not exceed ten, and is frequently
less than six seconds, in pIeu,isy and pneu-
monia it ranges from nine to four seconds.
When the lungs are in sound condition.
the time will range as high as from twenty
to thirty-five seconds.
