REMEDY FOR OFFENSIVE BREATHING.-If,
when the face is brought near another's, the
lips are kept firmly closed there is no bad
breath, that which comes from the nose being
not perceptbly disagreeable. Much of the
disagreeable odor of late meal may be avoid
ed if the teeth and mouth are we'll rnsed with
warm water, and the tooth brush is passed
across the back part of the tongue. In some
persons, a fetor of breath, and of the feet, al
ternate in Others, both are present at the
same time. A fetid effluvia arises usually, if
not always, from three causes first, it is hered-
ltary, being connected with scrofulous faint ;
second, it arises from want of personal clean
illness; third, it attends a dsordered stomach
The second and third suggest their own reme-
dies. The first is a grievous and Notifying
misfortune to all sensitive minds, but it may
be remeded to very considerable extent, by
persistent habits of strict personal cleanliness,
by large outdoor activities, personal regulari-
ties. and the temperate use plain substantial
food, carefully avoiding all gross and rancid
articles of diet, suet, cheese, pies, buildings,

MEN OF ONE BooK.-The ancients advised
students to read much, but not many books
There is maxim for persons TO beware of the
"Man of one book, and the record of the lives
of many eminent men show that they preserv-
ed an uninterrupted intercourse with some au-
thor. Thus the biographer of Sir William
Jones states that he invariably read through
every year the works of Cicero. Lord Clar-
endon constantly studied Livy and Tactus
Voltaire had usually on his table the Athalie
OF Racine, and the Petit Careme of Masson!
The tragedies of the one were the finest model
OF French verse, the sermons of the 9TH
er of French prose. Grotius had such taste
for Lucian, that he always carried pocket ed
ition about him. The favorite author of the
great Earl of Chatham was Barrow; on his
style he had formed his eloquence, and had
read his great master so constantly as to be
able to repeat his elaborate sermons from
memory. Lord Burleigh always carried Tul-
ly's Offices" in his pocket: Charles V. and
Bonaparte had MachiaveI frequently in their
hands; and Dayila was the perpetual study of
John Hampden, who seemed to have discover
ed in that historian of civil wars those which
he anticipated in the laud of his fathers

THREE PERSONS KILLED BY DoG.-The
journal de Charities, France, of recent date,
relates a terrible affair. Three mornings ago,
as little girl, ten years of age, was walking
by the side of road at Bonneval, she was sud
denly attacked by an enormous mastiff,
stranger to the village, and before her father,
who was near, could arrive, the dog, throwing
the child down, bit off her nose, and tore the
flesh from her cheeks, arms, and other parts of
her person.-Driven away by the man, the
dog little father on, attacked a boy, and tore
his face in a trightful manner. The animal
next attacked in succession several dogs, and
bit them severely. 1t then entered a wood
near Vieuvicq, in which a woman was at
work. and rushed on her, threw her down, and
lacerated her dreadfully. The flesh was torn
from dfferents parts of her person, leaving
her bones bare, her scalp was dragged off, and
her nose and cheek were eaten. A man hav-
ing come up the animal took to flight but
afterwards attacked, near Author, and rushed
in succession on four children, one the son of
n physician named Perier, tore flesh from their
faces and persons, and bit woman and SER
want girl The whole population of the town
were plunged into CONSERVATION but as night
had set in the dog disappeared. The next
morning a number of persons, armed with
guns, forks and scythes, went in search of the
animal, and having, after a while, found it sue
ceeded in shooting it dead. On examination,
1t turned out that the animal was not mad, but
had a long sharp nail driven into his nose and
the belief is that the pain which the nail occa-
stoned rendered it furious. OF the ten persons
attacked, three are already dead, and some of
the others are so fearfully injured that their
recovery is not probable. Although the ami
mai was not mad the persons bitten, have, by
way OF precaution, had their wounds cauter-
lied, and the dogs bitten have been killed.

MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF THE HINDoos.-
The Hindoo race is divided into four promi-
nent castles, the highest of which is the Brah"
min, constitutingA an hereditary priesthood.
Besides these, there are numerous lower castles
taking precedence according to their useful
ness. Thus, the blacksmith is of a higher
caste than the banker and goldsmith, though
a shoemaker is of low CASTE because leather
is unclean in the eye of Hindoo. There is
no more opprobrious title than "son of shoe
maker" Between these different castles there
must be no contact or even association. The
higher castles are defiled by such contact with
the lower. lntermarriages between them are
strictly forbidden.
Cleanliness, early rising, and silence during
meals, are especially binding on the Brahmin.
He can neither eatsnorApray till he has bathed
If he has contracted defement from contact
with one of lower caste, he must undergo
thorough ablution. She who enters her kitch-
en- before bathing must eat her own cooking
no one else will. The drinking vessel which
has acquired a stain from the lips must be
broken. Sunrise must not see Brahmin in
bed, or the fourteen generations of his ances-
tors will be punished in eternity. He who
speaks during meals must go without food for
twenty-four hours II once called for more

Children are contracted in marriage by their
parents, as early as the age of eight years.
Custom forbids all intercourse between them
till marriage, which always takes place before
the age of twelve. A girl of Twelve is called
can old maid" A man, with son of sixteen,
wishing to contract second marriage, would
be thought fit subject for an insane asylum.
Marriages are always celebrated at night.

A SHORT REVIEW OF JUDGE PAIsE's
SPEECH.

Having been among the number whose
good fortune it was, to hear the Speech p
Judge s. 0. Paine, made in the Court
House at Lancaster, on the evening of the
18th inst, in behalf cf the Republican
cause; and deening some portions Of the
same, sufficiently exceptionahle. to justify
criticism, | waive all apologies, and re-
view the Judges speech.

duction, "a long and eloquent homiIy, upon the
doctrine Of ..IrrepyesStble Conflict Z WHICH
he applied to all the antagonisms Of life,
and Of civil society. This occupied some
fifteen miDutos Of his speech. was well com
posed and gracefully devered, but, we
Feature e repiind the Judge, that ali the
importance Which thai peculiar form OF eY-
preston has. is derived from It's original ap-
I,Iics.tion by Coy. Seward, TO lie natural
antagonisn Of Libersg gnd Siarsrg. The
importance with which it was used, and
lalnpliiied by the Judge, therefore, tended
to render more inconsistent, his subsequent
Iposition--in placing as he did,. 1.-The doctrine
of protective tariff--in advance of that Of
H,msan Liberty. It pointed to self-cons
demnaton, and oratorical as it was, should
not have been used in such connection.
Next, the Judge spoke freely, and AZ
length, upon his personal position viii, ref
erence to the Republican Party briefly, as
follows LIST. That he wos not a Repab-
licant cd, That he esteemed the doctrine
