DUST FLOATING In THE AIR.-Mr.
Pouchet finds that the dust floating in
the air contains the detritus Of the min
eral constituents of the globe, atoms Of
animals and plants, and the finest deb
ris of all the materials we make use Of.
But one item he especially points cut,
viz:-Wheat starch, which is invariably
found in dust, whether old or recent.
Surprised at the quantity of it present
among the aerial corpuscles, M. Pouch
ct investigated the dust Of all ages and
every locality ;and everywhere he found
this wheat starch present. 4 have
found the starch he says, 'in the most
inaccessible corners Of old Gothic
churches, mixed with dust blackend by
six or eight centuries of existence, |
have found it in the palaces and cans
of the Theblad, where it may have da-
ted from the time Of the Pharaohs I
have found it in the tympanum Of the ear
Of mummi6ed dog which found in q
subterranean temple Of Upper Egypt.
In all countries, in word, where wheat
forms the staple Of food, starch always
generates into the dust, and is met with
in greater or less quantities.-Medical
Times.

The Power OF MEMoRY.-The fol-
lowing notice Of a singular faculty
possessed by the great New England
rhetorician appears in Northern jour
nal:
ssAs was his custom in delivering
the Washington Oration,' MIR. Ever
EFT spoke the whole Of his late eulogy
on Webster without any notes whatev-
er. It is . most wonderful exhibition
Of the power Of the memory, and one
rarely, If ever, met with in conjunction
with such great mental power as dis
tinguishes Mr. Everett y
This extraordinary power of memo
ry enables Mr.. Everett to give to his
greater addresses all the exquisite fin
ish which the most sedulous care in
composing can bestow, while by long
practice he is enabled to impart quite
an air Of extemporaneous effusion to
the delivery Of fervors week, month,
or perhaps several years old.

SIMPLICITY OF DREss.-Prentice, OF
the Louisville Journal, speaks thus to
his readers
"Those who think that, in order to
dress well, it is necessary to dress ex-
travagantly and gaudily, make great
mistake. Nothing SO well becomes true
feminine beauty as simplicity. We
have seen many a remarkably line per-
son robbed Of its fine effect by being
over dressed. Nothing is more unbe-
coming than overloaded beauty. The
simplicity of the classic taste is seen in
the old statues and pictures, painted by
men Of very superior artistic genius.
In Athens the ladies were not gaudily
but simply arrayed, and We doubt
whether any ladies excited more admi-
ration. So, also, the noble old Roman
matrons, whose superb forms were
worthy Of them, were always very plain
" dressed. Fashion often presents the
lines Of the butterfly, but fashion is not
q classic goddess"

Thus Is L1FE.-If we die to-day.
the sun will shine as brightly and birds
sing - sweetly tomorrow. Business
will not be suspended moment, and
the great mass will not bestow a thought
upon our memories. Is he dead ? will
be the solemn inquiry Of the few as
they pass to their work. But no one
will miss Us except our immediate con-
nections, and in . short time they will
forget us, and laugh as merrlly as when
We sat beside them. Thus shall We all.
now active in life, pass away. Our
children crowd close behind US, and thew
will soon be gone. In q few years not
sliving being can say 81 remember
him r. We lived in another age, and
did business with those who slumber in
the tomb. Thus is life. How rapidly
it passssl-nson.

CURIOUS CALCULATION. "A French
man-none but Frenchman would
have done it-has taken the trouble to
calculate the portions Of q life really
employed in work Of any kind, and
this is the result: 81
He supposes his subject to be a hale,
vigorous man, Of u years Of age. 8
Allowing eight hours on an average
for Slept that deducts at once "a
years.
For dressing and undressing onrlsing
and going to bed, washing, shaving.
&c., half an hour daily, makes l 1.8
years.
Then two hours daily for meals, this
is an excess of one half for Americans,
who bolt food, count up six years.
Love making ! according to the cal
culation, will average one hour daily,
or three years.
For society, idling, theatres, gossip
ping, balls, play-three hours more
up to nine years.
Finally, the ordinary maladies of
childhood-the accidents and diseases
Of mature age like cause, will deduct
two hours on an average, making six
years.
So that, in conclusion, one hale,
hearty man Of Y years, has in fact not
been able to employ in the positive oc-
equations Of industry more than ~ IL
wears,

LAST Hours. the sound of the
.s'last hours thrills through my heart
I remember the last hour I spent with
my mother. All! how we'll 1t is
a,inted on my memory so Intellectually
that it will remain till my last hour shall
come. 1t was night. The moon was
shining beautifully bright into her
chamber. All around was quiet and
still. We talked Of loved ONES who had
departed from us and, as we each felt
that we were all that were left-that
one after another had left our family
circle, there was that feeling of SYM
pathy only felt between mother and
child. II was The last hour. The
morning sun shone upon her corpse,
beautiful in death, with the same sweet
smile resting on the features which had
bid me "Good night, child"
10 These "last hours" are the precious
gems Of memory. How they come to
the mind of the mother, who has watch
ed the s'last hour" over the lovely babe,
as the tondril by which it chung to reach
where it had dwelt so little, so very lit
tie while. v,r.
= And there is to be "last hour" to
us on earth but there is joyous
thought which consoles us, that the
''last hour" here opens to a first hour''
in bright, perfect eternity. Hope
bids the weeping mourners over the
''last hour'' Of loved ones to look for
ward to a meeting where no "last hour''
shall ever come.

How TO KEEP PooR.-Inyest all your
capital in land, and run in debt for
more. Hire money to stock your farm.
Have no faith in your own business,
and be always ready to sell out. Buy
mean COWS, spawned horses, poer oxen
and cheap tools. Use the oil Of the
hickory freely, whenever your oxen
need strength. It is cheaper than hay

pounds out ali the grubs. Never waste

Ia If you find a man disposed to
complain of the GOODNESS of the world
be sure he has never done anything to
warm it, but is personal lump in the
midst Of it. If you find man who
complains that the world is all base
and hollow, tap him and he will probably
sound base and hollow. a

SwEETHEARTs AND Wives. You
are I'll apt to complain (writes LADY
|addressing her own sex) that lovers,
whom they become husbands, cannot
unite the two characters. You lay this
mostly to the mems charge. Do you
think it is their fault entirely? l am
disposed to say no. l will tell you
why. Before marriage, you take the
greatest pains to elevate yourselves in
to goddesses, and desire to be worship

Happy the woman who has the wit
to contrive that, in her married life,
the same halo shall surround her in her
husbands eyes that existed before their

those cares and arts by which you won
the lover, causes commonly the early
enhancement of the husband.
How frequent is the spectacle of neat,
scrupulous maidens, who when they be-
come wives, neglect their personal ap-
pearance, and who, if asked why they
dose, would answer, 30, Pm married."
showing plainly that their care and trim
ness formed no part Of their natures,
but was trap, cage spread for the
sure destruction of men. Pretty Mrs.
Spider when your careful fne-spun
web caught the credulous fly, your OBJ
ject being effected, good-by to neatness,
good looks, care, and refinement.
What more had you in the world to do
Your unfortunate husband finds the
very qualities which most likely influ-
enced his choice have vanished, like
