WealM Of Old Romans. debt
of a. Milo amounted to about $2S,OOO,-
600; Julius Caesar, when setting out for
SPAIN, is reported TO have said himself
that.he was 81 1000 900 worse than moth
ing. When he first entered Rome, after
crossing the Rubcon, he took from the
public treasury $500, 900, but at the end
OF the civil war put over Ss24, 1000 in
It. He purchased the friendship of Curio
with bribe of over ~, 500 900, and of
the Consul l.. Paulus with half that sum.
Crassus was worth in real estate over
$S,000,oOo, and abont as much in money,
furniture and slaves. Seneca was worth
over ss20,00O,0o0. Lentulus, the augur.
over $l6,000,OOo. Augustus raised, by
the testaments of his friends, nearly Sl6l,-
100000 Tiberius left at his death nearly
$lo9,ooo,ooo, which Caligula spent in
less than one year; and Vespasian, at his
accession, said that he required for the
support OF the State over Ssl ,614 ,0O0, 900.
Nevertheless, though greatly enriched
by conquests, imperial Rome never came
into the full Inheritance of the chief wealth
of the East, and the larger quantities of
the precious metals have remained ex--
cluded from the calculations Of ancient
historians.

.Uncducn.ed women.

:. Thesesis no sight SO truly pitiable as
that afforded by rising family of children
under the guardianship of an ignorant
mother, We would be understood by the
use of the term ignorant, as wishing to
convey the picture of a mother whose
meht of fashionable accomplishments to
the exclusion of solid mental culture and
aequirements. The woman who reigns
queen Of the ball room is very seldom
found capable of being the governess Of
her own children and the time spent at
soiree and routine Of visiting will be BIT
tcrly regretted when age brings exper-
fence and consequent remorse tor the evil
she has inflicted, and her. incapacity to
discharg- properly the interesting and i'm
portant duties OF her station,. when it was
her natural duty to be at once an instructor
and example. The, maiden who casts
aside her books for the2cotilion and her
household duties for the lascivious waltz,
will never win or deserve the love or es-
teem of a sensible man and should she
select partaer for life among her partners
in the dance, she will find, when it is too
late, that her choice has been unfortunate
as the place where she firs. attracted his
notice was injudicious We look with
pain upon that wife who enters upon her
second era with fashionable ideas of So
ciety. Her first era has been devoted to
the attainment of certain rules and sys-
TENS pardonable in the girl, certainly cen
surable in the wife, and criminal in the
mother. Gentlemen of good, sound sense,
never visit ball room for the purpose of
making conquest, but when they wish
to marry they search for wife in the
kitchen, and they generally get wife
not doll. Young ladies, take notice, and
give up these disgusting, immoral, and vi
cious Dances and help your mothers about
the house, sew buttons on your brotlier's
vest, and we warrent that you will get a
good husband, raise pretty and healthy
children, and be mourned when you die
the "happy death.'

u Rogers, the poet, used th tell n
story of the "body of malefactnr, who
was hanged in chains, disappearing in the
night. Nearly a fortnight afterwards it
was azain dangling in the air, and looked
as If fresh from the hands of the execu-
TONER. The man on the first occasion
was not quite dead. A farmer and his
son passing by heard his groan, took him
home and nursed bin. When he rccov--
cred they were awoke by noise and found
their guest at his old trade-packing up
every article of value in the house They
agreed that he would be better returned
to the place from whence he came, and
e-strangling him they put MIN back into
the iron case on the gibbet."

The Cron--irls AN article ON Winter
Birds, we find this defence of the crow
in AtlarkisSMon "He consumes in
the yeary yastquantities of grubs, worms,
and .IloSions vermin; he is valuable
scayenger, and clears the land of often
sive masses of deceased animal sub
stances; he hunts the grain fields, and
pulls out and devours the underground
caterpillars, whenever he perceives
the signs of their operations, as evinced
by the wilted stocks; he destroys mice,
young rats, lizards, and the serpent;
lastly, he is a volynteer sentinel about
the farm, and drives the hawk from its
enclosure, thus preventing greater mis-
chief than that Of which he himself is
guilty. 1t is chiefly during seed time
and harvest that the depredations of
the crow are Misunderstanding the
remainder of the year, we witness only

have written of birds, and | cannot
name an ornithologist who does not

Size Of The Human Race. The larg-
est circle of the terrestrial globe of uni
form temperature is the equator. Those
running parallel to this, as, for example,
the tropics, polar circles, etc, diminish as
they approa ch either pole. The stature
of the human race, especially hat of men,
Likewise lessons, though not to the same
extent at all, from the equatorial and
tropical regions toward the poles. In the
warm attitudes are found races of men Of
large dimensions dwindling in the cold
regions OF the high attitudes, so that it
may be affirmed that men grow tow in
proportion as the latitude is high
But women are more uniform in size
than men, being of nearly equal height
in places where men vary very much in
size. In regions where males are much
taller than the average, the women con-
tinue of about the same medium dmen-
sons.
The fact too appears from historic monu-
ments, that the size Of the race in general
has not varied from the earliest ages, and
that men and women are now of the
same dimensions as they were before the
period of Moses. This, we suppose, is
amply corroborated by the evidence afo
forded by the thousands ): of mummies.

separate and distinct. On the contrary, they
are completely intermingled Mr.. Green is as
much classical teacher as |; and / am as

R. II. EDDY, ESQ, BOSTON, SOLICITOR OF PA
TENTs.-There are few instances of more distin-
guished success in this country than has attended
the efforts of Mr. Eddy in this very difficult and
complex department of business and we take great
pleasure in recording the fact, that as Patent ator-
ney, he stands pre-eminent For more than twenty
years he has devoted his entire time and energies to
perfect himself in this department, and there is no
man equally competent to give advice TO inventors
touching the validity of claims and the patentability
of inventions. In prosecuting claims denied upon
imperfectly prepared specifications, he has been
particularly successful large part of his practice
being appeals in cases where patents have been
refused two and three times in consequence of in
experience and incompetency in preparing papers
We confidently recommend Mr. Eddy to all who
are in want OF any information on the subject and
can assure them that implicit reliance may be placed
in any statements he may make-Erchange.
