Facts in Physiology.

A man is taller in the morning than

owing to the relaxation of the carriages.
The human brain is the twenty eighth OF
the body, but in the horse but a four
hundredth. Ten days per annum is the
average sickness of human life. About
the age of thirty six, the lean man gen
orally becomes fatter, and the fat man
leaner. Richter enurnerateS 600 distinct
species of disease in the eye. The pulse
Of children is 1870 in a minute at pu-
bcrty it is 80, and at sixty only 90 DR..
Lettom ascribed health and wealth TO
water; happiness to small beer, and all
diseases to the use Of spirits. Elephants
live for two hundred, three hundred, and
even four hundred years; healthy, full
grown elephant consumes thirty pounds
of grain per day. Bats in India are
called flying foxes, and measure six feet
from tip to tip. Sheep, in wild pastures,
practice self-defence by an array in which
rams stand foremost, in concert with
ewes, and the lambs in the centre of a
hollow square. Three Hudson's Bay
dogs draw a sledge loaded with three
hundred pounds, fifteen miles per day.

THE FADED BUD.

Spring had brought beauteous fow'r,
Which each fair one knew;
And watched it every hour,
As it leaved and grew.
Summer came-its bud was bright,
And the sunlight loved its hue;
And as the dew-drop in the moonlight
Sparkled, | watched it as it grew.
Now watch it, silent sleeping,
As its leaves 80 scattered lie,
And the stars seem with me weeping,
Whilst the tear-drops dim mine eye.
But each leaf, though now so faded,
Shall not e'er be cast away,
But by my deep sorrow shaded,
VIII be wept Ger each sad day.
Would you know this sweet buds name7
And why love its leaves so dear7
Why, when it died as soon asst came,
l should regret it with tear2
The bud was one Of FRIENDSHIP,
Cherish for awhile with love;
Aud though now its leaves are faded,
feel that time can ne er remove
My sorrow for its early death:
And SO l love, while earth is sleeping,
To remember its sweet breath,
And weep whilst stars are with me weeping

abolition State central committee several
places at which to speak in company -
On Saturday last they had meeting at
Lancaster, in that State. According ia
a correspondent Of the Ohio Statesman,
the two endeavored to do the thing up

lican party is really the old wing party
with another name, aud that wings ought
to take the lead OF it.
Stone, who was once a domoerat, con
tended that the present republican party
is the old locofoco party, to which ho
used to belong, and urged democrats to
take the lead Of it.

DEMocRAcY.-It worries the opposition
excessively that with all their intempe-
rate abuse and ingeniously invented mis-
representation, they cannot sever the
peoples attachment to tho democratic
party The reason of that fact is, how
ever, clearly perceptiblc to every Impair
tial mind. The American masses are
intelligent, grateful, and patriotic, and
they know that democracy means tue
SOVEREIGN PEOPLE, and that all its past
actions have been for the good of the
toiting millions, and not the aggrandize-
ment of the aristocratic few. Hence tho
poisoned arrows hurled from republican
bows fall harmless to the ground, because
the people remember that the same de-
scription of weapon was once aimed at "a

Mn. EprroR IL see Mr.. Scott hes responded
favoiebly to your call Tor his opinion in relation
to forming a District Agricultural Society,
holding its fairs alternately at Perrysbure and
Maumee City. As no specified extent of terri.
tory has been proposed from which to form this
" District Agricultural Association" propose
thvt It embraces south Of Perrysburg, Wood
aud Hancock counties, and about the same eI-
tent Of territory on the north thereby making
Perrysburg and Maumee the central points cl
said district.
1t may ho thought By some that Wood and
Lucas county embrace territory sufficiently
large Tor said assoca ton. But ii is confidently
claimed, in behalf Of this proposed Agricultural
Associa lion, that il would not interfere with ex-
isting county societies but on the contrary,
that it would build up and establish them. II
this be so, let us embrace least four counties in
this Agricultural District; thereby extending
the area Of its usefulness. by inlusing into the
County Societies greater cxcrtiou, energy aud
activity
But there is one difficulty TO be overcome in
carrying forward to successful operation this
agricultural enterprise. There is no Bank in
either Perlysburg or Maumec in which to de-
post the funds OF an Agricultural Society. In
this uge of progress, il would be absurd to 90
back TO the old way Of doing business, and pay
premiums promptly. How much more con.
venient and business like it is TO make bank
deposit" -,
Now, Mr.. Editor, If in your wisdom, you will
devise some plan by which the financial interests
of this proposed district association can be
managed without the interpostion of Bank
you will have removed one great difficulty, and q
speedy organization of District Agricultural
Association might be anticipated
Very truly yours, BACK SWAMI.
