InAdcl Inrnin,.

The editor Of the Fayetteville CdrOli1idn, tells
the following amusing incident in his expert
ence:
We were teaching an academy" down
in the wire grass country Of South Georgia soon
after we left college, and among the "higher
branches" taught In that institution" were the
rudimcnts of Astronomy, to which advanced
text book we had introduced class OF sand-hill
boys and gopher-trapping girls ranging in age
from fourteen to twenty years. A few reci!a-
tious confined principally to corrections Of mu-
tilated recommendations, "stairs, " "heavingli bud
dies" "the yeath, " 'comics," "planics," &c,
and we made to the advanced class' the start
ling and Incredible announcement that the sun
did not rise and set daily, that the revolution
Of the earth on its axis made night aad day, &c.
There we're few open cOuntenances in that gap
ing, wonder-stricken class, about then.
Next morning we we're waited on by grave
sage looking patron Of ours, who, with some as
perity of cOuntenance, aud as We imagined, con-
temptuous severity of expression, thus deliver
cd himself:
We've employ'd ye here to larn our young
'uns, haiut we ?" We assented to the propo-
stion.
"Well," continued he, whats all this riggy-
marole and astronamy and stuff about the sun
not settin aud rsin', and the yearth turnin' up
side down of night and sich like infidel talk
we've been fo0n' the skollards withY Now,
thought We, for triumph of science, a lighting
up his benighted understanding Inviting him
into the academy, we proceeded TO draw dia-
gram on the blackboard, for the purpose of IL
lustration. Now" said we, 1.-THE sun is ninety
FIVE millions Of miles from the earth, and"-
"Stopw cried he, show do you know that?
Who's been thar TO measure itf What survey
or's ever drug his chain over that route p
'Tain't So" In vain we assured him that sol
entno men had demonstrated it, and philoso-
piers proved il beyond doubt, and that all the
learned and eminent men in the world admit
ted and believed it.
"They don't know nothing about it," was his
dogmatic responss 'not bit more'n do, aud
they've never ben any closer to the sun than
hev. It's agin reason, sense. and scripter to
aay that the sun don't rise and set-for thar's a
text, which mabby you've seed; II you ever red
the bible, which / KANT scarcely believe you
ever did read it, saying from the the risn' OF
the sun to the going down thereof-and see
here young man, if you KANT teach the chill
daen better'n such fool talk and intideI argy-
ment, you mought as well look cut for Dooly
settlement whar ther amt no churches, and the
folks never heard Of the bible"
We caved. wiped out the diagram with our
left coat-tal, bowed out our indignant patron,
and the next morning the "stronamy" class
was advanced to Peter Parley's geography,
and the sun permitted to rise and set as usual
There's everything in admitting and denying
the premises.

DRINK LESS WITH YOUR MEAIs.-Many men
have relieved themselves Of dyspepsia, BY not
drinking, even water, during meals. No ami
NAL except man, ever drinks in connection with
his food. Man ought not to. Try this, dysPep-
tics; and you will not wash down mechanically,
what ought to be masticated, and ensaiivatsd,
before it is swallowed. A writer says:
When we are thirsty at our meals, or at 9TH
sr times, we should drink to allay such thirst
only. All solid food should be thoroughly
ground aud mixed with saliva in the mouth I'M
aided and undiluted by water or other drinks.
Rely upon 1t, the apparent necessity for drink
ing is mere habit, which we can correct at
will; and all who prize health at its full value,
will not consider its preservation or purchase
too high at cost Of attention TO go simple
matter.

A DEsTucTIvE ToRNADo.--A terrific whirlwinl
visited Lahaina, one Of the Sandwich Islands,
on the goth of February. It had been raining
very hard during the day, and the upper and
lower portion of the town was completely
flooded. The Honolulu Advertiser says:
The tornado came from the sea aud destroyed
two native houses, damaging the Kings Palace
now used as the Court House,) then coming
up town it swept everything with it until it
came to the Native Church Of Rev. d. Baldwin,
which 1t has made most perfect wreck, carry
ing away the roof, belfry, &c. 1t also struck
the house occupied by the U. S. Consul, A. G,
Chandler, Esq, and owned by bis HiGhness
Prince Lot Kamehameha, taking the roof COM
pletely of, and scattering it in all directions ;
some Of the shingles were picked up over q
quarter of mile from the house. From thence
it destroyed the houses of the natives quite up
to the mountains. The bread-fruit aud tutui
trees are completely wtenched off, leaving
nothing but the stumps standing. 1t then
changed its course and run along the edge Of
the mountain, destroying house, and prostra-
ting banana trees and grapevine arbors.-
There was a child killed, and one Kanaka
whose skin is completely taken of, as II he was
scaldsd. There are about forty houses destroy
ed, besides the crops of potatoes, psmpkins and
bananas, which are entirely swept away BY the
food. The Lahainaluna creek broke through
The stone wall on the Kaanapali side, aud swept
through Mala, carrying houses and everything
with 1t, and had it been anywhere else than in
this country, many lives would have been lest.
Many of the natives have their superstltiOus
ideas about these things, and say something 10
the matter, and this Is punishment, and that
some great calamity win happen before the
year Is ended.
