The Dignity of Duiiness.

Cardinal Wiseman tells us very frankly that the
great principle of the dignity of duness is always
recognized and acted on by the gentlemen who
elect the Pope. Gravity, approaching to stolidity
-sowness OF motion, approaching to entire stand
ing still-are (as a general rule) requisite In the
human beings who succeed to the chair of st.
Peter. 1t has been insinuated that in the Church
of England similar characteristics are {at least
were) held essential in those who are made bishops
and, above all, archhishops You can never be
sure that man will not do wrong who ia likely to
do anything at all. But if it be perfectly aseer-
tanned that man will do nothing, you may be sat
| s6ed that he will do nothing wrong. This is one
consideration; but the further one Is the pure and
simple dignity OF dallness.
! Clergyman may look forward to bishoprie If
| he write books which are nnreadable but not if he
| write books which are readable. The chance OF
pr. Log is infinitely better than that of Mr.. Kings
ley. And nothing can be more certain than that
the principle of the dignity Of dnllness kept the
miter from the head of Sydney Smith. do not
mean to say that he was a suitable man to be
bishop. think he was not. But it was not
because of anything really uncercal about the
genial man that he was excluded. The people who
excluded him did not hesitate to appoint men
obnoxious to more serious charges than Sydney
Smith. But. then, whatever these men were or
were not, they were all dull. They wrote much
some of them; but nobody ever read what they
wrote.
But Sydney Smith was interesting. You could
read his writings with pleasure. He was mn
questlonaby the reverse OF dull, and therefore
certainly the reverse of dignifed, Through much
of his Inter life the same suspicion has, with mil
lions of safe. going folks, thrown shadow on Lord
Brougham. He was too lively. What he wrote
was too interesting. Solid old gentlemen feared
for his good sense. They thought they never could
be sure what he would do next. Even Lord st.
Leonards lost standing with many when he pub
lished his Hand Book on Property Law. A Lord
Chancellor writing book sold at railway stations,
and read with interest, too) in railway carriages
What was the world coming to? BUTT was quite
becoming in the great man to produce that ella
borate and authoritative work on Vendors and
Purchase, of which have often beheld the outside,
but never the inside.
And wherefore did the book beseem q chancel.
lor? Wherefore but because to the ordinary rea.
der It was heavy as lead Have not you. my read
er, often heard like criticism of Lord Gampbels
interesting volumes of the biography of his prede.
cessors? Very interesting very well written
much curious information; but not quite the thing
for the first man ON the Judicial bench of Britain
to write" Now upon what is this criticism found
ed but upon the grand principle that Iivelness and
interest do not become the composition of man
in important office; in brief that is not digni6ed
which is not dull,-[Frazer's Magazine.

Cats FREE FROM HEADAcHE.-Iti is quite wonder
ful to see a cat jump down heights. She never
seems to hurt herself or to feel giddy with the fall
she always falls On her feet and these are SO beau
tifuly padded that they seldom ever get broken.
never knew of a cat break ng its leg from an ac-
cident but in one instance, and that was French
cat which fell down stairs in the most stupid man
ner. Why does not the cat get headache after
her deep jumps? Why does she not get concussion
of the brain, as man dog would II he performed

GLOUCESTER FIsHERIEs.-At one time it was
feared that the Gloucester fisheries onId be very
unsuccessful the present season. as the early fares
successes of the feet have entirely changed the
face OF affairs, and the season OF 1850 will proba-
bly, be much better than those for several years
past. The product OF the Gloucester fisheries thia
year will doubtless surpass that of any previous
season. About one hundred vessels are still to
arrive from the bay. Should they average swo
hundred barrels each. (which s small estimate
they will bring in twenty thousand barrels OF mack

Power OF BlRD's SoNa.-When we hear the
song of soaring lark we may be sure that the
entire atmosphere between us and the bird is filed
with pulses or undnlations, or waves, as they are
often called, produced by the little songster' j
organ lof voice. This organ is vibrating instru-
ment, resembling in principle the reed of clario-
elevated to height Of five hundred feel in the air.
Before this is possible the bird must have agitated
sphere Of air one thousand feet in diameter-that
is to say, it must have communicated to sss tons
of air a motion sufficiently intense to be appre-
ciated by our organs of hearing.

LEGISLATIVE WIT.--While Tom Gorwin WAS 4
member of the General Assembly Of the State of
Ohio. he brought in a bill for the abolition Of pub
lie punishment at the whipping post. He made
speech thereon, to which an elderly member re-
piled as follows:
The gentleman is not as old as am, ana has
not seen much of the practical operation Of the
system Of punishment which lie desfes to abolish.
