The DEEusCopE small instrument has
lately made its appearance, which is said
will be Of great utility to designers and others
engaged in the ornamental and decorative
arts 1t is of French origin, and, as describ
ed, consists Of two slverized plates of great
reflective power, put together in a framework
of card board or wood, at an angle of 10 de-
grees. On being placed over asmall picture,
or design, of any kind, no matter how rough,
orwhether good or bad, the Debuscope, says
a cotemporary, will reflect the portion i'm
mediately under the eye, on all sides, form
ing the most beautiful and elaborate designs,
and, by being slowly moved over the picture.
will multiply new designs to any extent
No matter what the subject is on which the
instrument is placed, the result is marvel
lous there is produced from the most un-
likely objects, such as scraps OF paper hang
ings, bots of ink, leaves, flowers, bits Of lace,
&c., an endless series of new and really
beautiful designs. Although of the same
species, it possesses an advantage over our
old friend, the kaleidoscope. 1t gives the
design, and that in such manner that it
can be made stationary at pleasure, until
copied rs new patterns for draughtsmen.
calico printers, dyers, paper-hangers, paint
ers or others. Setting aside the utility alto
gethcr, it can be made the means of gratif
cation in the drawing-room, and will doubt
less assume its proper place, along with the
microscope and stereoscope, as source OF
amusement at once innocent and instructive"
Could not the patterns in some such instru-
ment, and even in the kaleidoscope itself,
suitably formed. be readily copied, and fixed
as photographs, by aid Of the camera?

MISCELLANEOUS READING.

At the late session of the French Academy.
the first prize OF virtue was conferred on the
Rev. John Bost, Protestant minister of
France. This prize originated with a cer-
Nj. Montyon, who left sum of money, the
interest of which is every year distributed by
the French Academy to such persons as
are known TO have performed distinguished
acts of self sacrifice and beneyolence. All
France IS summoned to this competition
This year one hundred and twelve memoirs
OF such acts OF virtue were sent up from fifty
eight different departments of the Empire
Twenty-one Of these obtained prizes The
first prize 5000 francs) was awarded to
jean Marc Bost Of La Force, in Dordogne.
And who is John Bost, and what has he
done to receive such signal honors? Here is
the simple story
John Bost is descended from Huguenot
family He cane to Paris in his youth, with
no higher aim than to cultivate himself in
art. An infant, abandoned by its mother,
fell under his notice. called out his charity,
and in effect changed his course of life. He
determined to study for the ministry. Be-
coming pastor at La Force, he soon added ex-
traordinary acts of charity to the regular du-
t!eS vi tue MINISTRY. LIS Hedus were sMaH
but his faith was great. Orphan girls were
the first objects of his beneyolence. At length
he founded an institution, called the Gospel
Family, for these poor girls, ,eighty-seven of
whom are now annually cared for, taught,
and saved by the Protestant pastor. Two
hundred have already gone out of the Cos
pei Family into active life. Adjoining the
orphan house is school for the poor children
Of the neighborhood.'
1t is for such benevolent labors that the
founder of the Gospel Family" has just re-
ceived the highest honor from the first litera-
ry tribunal of France.

Hood on Health.

Take precious care of your health
but how, us the housewife says, to make
it keep? Why, then, don't cure and
smoke-dry-it-or pickle it in everlasting
acids, like the Germans. Don't bury it
IN potato pit, like. the Irish. Don't
preserve it in spirits, like the barbarians.
Don't salt it down, like the Newfound-
landers. Don't pack it in ice, like Cap
tain Back. Don't parboil it, like goose
berries. Don't poland don't hang it,
A rope is bad Gordon santaire. -
Above ALL don't despond about it. Let
no anxiety "have thee on the hip."-
Consider your health as your best friend,
and think as well of it, in spite Of all its
foibles, as you can. For instance, never
dream, though you may have "clever
hack" of quick consumption, or indulge
in the Miltonian belief that you are 60
ing the pace. Never fancy every time
you cough, you are going to pot. Hold
up, as the shooter says, over the roughest
ground. Dependency, i'll hice case, is
the overweight that you may kick the
beam and bucket both at once. In short,
as with other cases, never meet trouble
half way, but let him have the whole
walk for his palms. though it should be a
Scotch mile and bittock. have even
known him to give up his visit in sight
of the house. Besides, the best fence
against care is "ha! haw wherefore
take care to have one all around you
whenever you can. Let your lungs
crow like chanticleer," and as like Ii
gamecock as possible. 1t expands the
chest, enlarges the heart, quickens the
circulation, and like trumpet, makes
the spirit dance"
