CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE SEXEs.-
1t is a singular fact, says a writer in
one of our exchanges, that even after
death, nature respects the inherent mod
esty of woman, for when drowned she
floats on her face, and a drowned man
floats upon the back. The noblest part
of human being is the head but the
mans head is liable to badness wo-
mans is never bald. The mans face
is often made repulsive on account Of
a harsh growing beard, and SO covered
with sordid hairs, as something scarce
ly to be distinguished from the face Of
brute beast in a woman, on the
other hand, the face always remains
pure and decent. For this reason wo-
men were, by the laws of the twelve
tables, forbidden 10 rub their cheeks,
lest their hair should grow and obscure
their blushing modesty. But the most
evident proof Of the innate purity Of
the female sex is, that q woman having
once washed is clean, and if she wash a
second time will not soil the water; but
not so with mamie is never clean !;
though he should wash in ten successive
waters, he would cloud and infect them
all.

OUR BEST PARLoRs.-Don't keep a
solemn parlor, into which you go but
once month, with Your parson or sew
ing society. Hang around your walls
pictures which shall tell stories of mer-
cy, hope, courage, faith and charity
Make your living-room the largest and
most cheerful in the house. Let the
place be such that when your boy has
gone to dista'.t lands, or even when,
perhaps, he clings to a single plank in
the lonely waters of the wide ocean, the
thought of the still homestead shall
come across the desolation, bringing
always light, hope and love. Have no
dungeon about your house-no room
you never open-no blinds that are al
ways shut.-H Marvel.
SEEING AT CERTAIN DISTANCES
The earth being globular, at a certain
distance, even thong h our vision can
reach much further, its form prevents
US from seeing objects. 1t has been
calculated that at six hundred yards an
object one inch high can not be seen in
a straight line; at nine hundred yards,
two inches at fourteen hundred yards,
FIVE inches at one mile, eight inches !;
three miles, six feet. In leveling, it is
usual to allow the tenth Of an inch in
every two hundred yards-eight inches
in q mile, for convexity.

@-The following amusing lines, entitled
'Scene in a Western Court room' (says an
exchange) were sent to US by an esteemed
correspondent:
In far western town-so they tell me the tale
A shanty served both for a stable and jail
The Judge of the Court was man without guile,
Who carved up his justice in pretty good Style
The fact, Notwithstanding which can't be denied,
That he had the misfortune of being cross-eyed
In certain tough case he was charging the jury,
And working himself into an eloquent fury,
When voice in rough and a boisterous strain.
Shouted, go it, old gimlet-eyes! hit him again ~
"Who was that?" rocred the Judge, rather netted
no doubt
''Twas this hoss!' the culprit himself bawed out
The Judge struck his fist on the judicial table;
"Here sheriff." said he, "put that boss in the sta

FLIGHT OF PIGEONS. Pigeons have
been killed in the neighborhood of
New York, with their craws full of
rice, which they could only have pro-
cured in the fields Of Georgia and Car
DINA.
AS their power Of digestion is so
great that they will decompose food
entirely in IL hours, they must in this
case have travelled between three and
four hundred miles in six hours-an
average speed of about mile min
ute.
A velocity such as this would enable
one of these birds, were it so inclined,
to visit the European Continent in less
than three dsys.-.Audubon's .Ameri-
can Birds, Pol. l., page 319.

SELF-ApPREcrATIoN.-Dr. Holmes,
in the last Autocrat papers, says:
"Self- appreciation is slow and
gradual process. At first child thinks
he can do everything. / remember
when l thought I could lift . house if
1 only tried hard enough. So l began
with the hind wheel Of an old family
coach, built like that in which Lady
Bountiful carried little King Pippin, if
you happen to remember the illustra-
t,ons Of that story. I lifted with all
my might, and that pulled down with
ali its might. The planet beat. After
that, my ideas of the difference between
my will and my muscular strength were
more accurately defined. Then came
the illusion that l could 'lick,' serve
OUT or polish off, various small boys
who had been or might be obnoxious to
me. The event of the different 'set-tos'
to which this hypothesis led not uni
formly confirming it, another Limitation
of my possibilities was the consequence.
In this way I CROPPED along into q
knowledge of my physical relations to
the organic and inorganic universe.
"a man must be very stupid indeed,
If by the time he is fully ripened, he
does not know tolerably we'll what his
physical powers are. His weight, his
height, his general development, his
constitutional force, his good or i'll
looks, he has had time to find out and
he is fool if he does not carry q rea-
sonable consciousness of these condi-
tons with him always. 1t is a little
harder with the mind but some quail
ties are generally estimated fair enough
by their owners. Thus, man may be
trusted when he says he has q good o.
bad memory. Not so his opinion of
his own Judgment or Imagination. 1t
is only by very slow process that he
finds out how much or how little Of
these qualities he possesses. But it is
one of the blessed privileges Of grow
ing older, that we come to have much
clearer sense Of what we can do and
what we cannot, and settle down to our
work quietly, knowing what our tools
are and what we have to do with them. y

THE FALL OF QUEDEC.


Bourbon standard, floating high
Ger the towers Of proud Quebec,
Meath the autumn-tinted sky,
Dreaming not Of shame or wreck,
Ger the river, grandiy flowing,
Eiied banner Of the bravsi
Hsughtily thy shadow throwing,
Wanton Of the glittering wave.
What though all The serried heights
OF St. Lawrence rugged coast
Seem to mock as puny sieights
Hostile efforts Of host:
What though many q gloomy week
Albion's and Columbia q sons,
Daring conflict, vainly seek
Measure Of the Gallo guns.
Who're the nre Of valor dwslls
Mind refuses to suecumb,
Genius knows no obst acles
Saving but to overcome.
These shall do deed of might,
witnessed only OF the start,
In the silent dead Of night
They shall .oale these rocky bars
Banner tits the morn Of battle;
Look across on Abraham 3 plains
mid the crash and thunder rattle,
Who is it the contest gsins1
Wolfe lies bleeding, softly signing,
Viotory's wreath upon his brow,
And thine own Montcalm is DYING
Lilied banner where art thouf
Ensign all is lost fox thee,
Thou in very twain art rent,
And thine ancient chivalry
Abdicates q continent.
Banner dust must be thy bed,
Thine the last, the worst Of blows
Bend thy lily-drooping head
fearful to the weeping rose.

THE MARCH TO THE GRAVE IN 1858

THE MARCH TO THE GRAVE IN 1858.
What a mighty procession has been
moving towards the grave during the
past year! At the usual estimate,
since the first Of January, 1858, more
than Mirty.one million foe hundred
thousand! If the worlds population
have gone down to the grave. Place
them all III array and they will give a
moving column of more than thirteen
hundred to every mile of the circumfer-
ence Of the globe. What a spectacle,
as they move on, tramp, tramp, tramp;
the "Dead March" sounding in mourn
full cadence to their tread as they 60 on
to the silent aud inevitable shades -
Reader, thilk-we too are marching in
this solemn and unendina procession.

When all the maids within her house
Are walking in her shoes.

A correspondent Of the Boston Cou-
rier tells how Daniel Webster offered
himself to the woman Of his choice:
"Mr. Webster married the woman he
loved, and the twenty years which he
lived with her brought him to the me-
ridian Of his greatness. An anecdote
is current on this subject, which IS not
recorded in the books. Mr.. Webster
was becoming intimate with Miss Grace
Fletcher, when the skein Of silk getting
in knot, Mr.. Webster assisted In un-
raveling the snarl-then looking up to
Miss Grace, he said: I'VE have untied
knot; don't you think we could tie
one? p Grace was little embarrassed,
said not word, but in the course Of a
few minutes she tied a knot in piece
of tape and handed 1t to Mr.. w. This
piece Of tape, the thread of his domes-
tic joys, was found after the death Of
Mr.. Webster, preserved as one of his
most precious relics"
