intercourse at the TabIe.

To meet at the breakfast-table, father,
mother, children, all well, ought to be a
happiness to any heart; it should be a
source of humble gratitude, and should
wake up the warmest feelings Of our ma
ture. Shame upon the contemplate and
iOw-bred ones, parent or child, that can
ever come to the breakfast-table where the
family have met in health, only to frown,
and whine, and growl, and fret. 1t is priaq
tacie evidence of mean, and groveling, and
selfish, and degraded nature wheresoever
the churl may have sprung. Nor is it less
reprehensble to make such exhibitions at
the tea-table, for before the morning comes
some of the circle may be stricken with
some deadly disease, to gather round that
table not again forever.
Children in good health, if left to them
selves at the table, become after a few
mouthfuls, garrulous and noisy, but if with
in at all reasonable or bearable bounds, it
is better to let them alone they eat less
because they do not eat so rapidly as if
compelled to keep silent, while the very ex-
hilaration Of spirits quickens the circula-
tion of the vital fluids, and energies diges-
lion and assimilation. The extremes of So
ciety curiously meet in this regard. The
tables of the rich and the mobiles of England
are models of mirth, wit and bonhommie /;
it takes hours to get through repast and
they live long. If any body will look in
upon the negroes of well-to-do family in
Kentucky while at their meals, they can
not but be impressed with the perfect
abandon of jabber, cachination and mirth I;
it seems as if they could talk all day, and
they live long 1t follows, then, that at the
family-table all should meet and do it hab-
itually, to make common interchange of
high-bred courtesies, of warm affections, Of
cheering mirthfulness, and that generosity
of nature which lifts us above the brutes
which perish, promOtiVe as these things are
Of good digestion, high health and long
life.--HaiFs journal of Health.

How In Take Life.

Take life like man. Take it just as it
was-as it is-an earnest, vital, essential
affair. Take it just as though you person
ally were born to the task Of performing a
merry part in it-as though the world has
waited for your coming. Take it as though
it was a grand opportunity to do and to
achieve to carry forward great and good
schemes; to help and cheer suffering
weary, it may be heart-brOken brother. The
fact is, life is underyalued by great ma
jority of mankind. 1t is not made half as
much of as should be the case. Where is the
man, or woman, who accomplishes one tithe
of what might be done? Who can not look
back upon opportunities lost plans achieved,
thoughts crushed, aspirations unfulflled,
and all caused from the lack Of the neces'
sary and possible effort.
If we knew better how to take and make
the most of life, it would be far better
than it is. Now and then man stands
aside from the crowd, labors earnestly,
steadfastly, confidently, and straightway
becomes famous for wisdom, intellect, skill,
greatness of some sort The world wonders,
admires, idolizes, and yet it only illustrates
what each maXdo if he takes hold of life
with purpose. If q man but says he will
and follows it up, there is nothing in reason
he may not expect to accomplish. There is
no magic, no miracle, no secret to him who
is brave in heart and determined in spirit.

PAPER DUTIES IN ENGLAND.-The bill abol-
ishing the paper duty in Great Britain went
into effect on the first of October. The man
ufacture of news and book paper is now free
OF duty, the same as in the United States.
The cost has been reduced something like
four cents on the pound and publishers of
newspapers are reducing their subscription
terms to something like the American stand
ard. Penny daily papers are starting up in
all the large towns, the penny being nearly
equal to two cents of our currency. The
weekly sheets are reducing their price The
Weekly Times, no relation of the Thunde eT,
announces that its circulation, since the re-
duction ofprice, on September !, to a penny,
has reached the enormous amount of three
hundred and fifty thousand copies. The
Weekly Times is radical paper strongly
Republican in its sentiments, and opposed to
the union of Church and State, and the sys.
tenn Of fprimOReDituTe and landed aristocracy
It advocates Manhood Suffrage" vote by
ballot and equal Parliamentary districts. Its
immense circulation, which is double that of
the New York Weeklu Tribune, shows how
wide'spI cad must be Republican ideas among
the masses of the English people.
Newspapers will multiply enormously in
England, in consequence of their future
cheapness, and the more they circulate the
more will liberal and democratic ideas be
diffused among the people.

TIE FooT OF A HoRsE.-The human hand
has often been taken to illustrate Divine
wisdom-and very we'll. But have you
ever examined your horses foot? 1t is
hardly less curious in its way. It's
parts are somewhat complicated, and yet
their design is simple and obvious The
hoof is not, as it appears to the careless eye,
mere lump of insensible bone fastened to
the leg by joint. 1t is made up of a series
of thin layers, or leaves of horn, about five
hundI ed in number, nicely fitted to each
other, and forming a lining to the foot it
SELF Then there are as many more layers
belonging to what is called the "cofin
bone," and fitted into this. These are elastic.
Take quire of paper and insert the leaves
one by one into those Of another quire,
and you will get some idea of the arrange
ment of the several layers. Now, the weight
of the horse les s on as many ella t c spring 8
as there are layers in his four feet-about
four thousand; and all this is contrived not
only for the easy conveyance of the horse s
own body, but for whatever burdens may be
laid upon him.

prIrInr QrnIIlIes Of women.

"Doesticks," recently, in the Mercury,
gave vent to the following atrocious senti-
timents, with whiclrwe have no sympathy
whatever Still there is little truth in
what "Doesticks" says;
The minute you give woman charge Of
any thing that will do any work, that very
minute that very woman begins TO drive
that working thing 10 its utmost capacity,
be il an animal or a machine; and the
chances are about equal that she'll drive
the animal to the verge Of quadruped
grave, or break the machine into shivered
splinters in the attempt to make 1t 10 three
days work in twelve hours.
Every person who has ever observed q
human female driving horse, will perfectly
sympathize with the idea here set forth.
Every woman who drives horse, not only
drives that horse to the top of his speed,
flogging him up hill and whipping him down
hill and thrashing him the full length of
every level, but she gives him q sound
trouncing every time he stops to drink, un-
der the wretched pretense that she is trying
to keep the flies off. Let woman, any
woman-for they are all alike on this sub
iect, and no one has any more sense than
any other one-understand that Flora Tenn
pie had trotted her mile in 2.l92, and let
that woman have Flora to drive for day,
and she'd fog the life out of the gallant bay
mare, if she don't keep up the speed for
twelve or fourteen hours day, and would,
the minute her speed fell short of twenty
five miles an hour, whip the blessed beauty
till she dropped down in her tracks.
If O woman owned Flora Temple she
wouldn't hesitate to match her to run b race
with an express train through q swampy
country, and would cut with q horsewhip,
the hide all off the little mare, if she didn't
distance the locomotive.
There never was woman yet who 'CouLd
or could drive a horse reasonably, and treat
him properly.

ORIGIN OF THE HAT.-We owe the hat, as
we owe most of our manufactures, to Asia.
1t was in Asia that men first learned the
art of felting wool, SO as to compose the sub
stratum of the fabric. Wool, SO long as it
contains the natural yolk or animal
grease, refuses to felt; that is, its ibers
will not mat together in compact and
close grained mass, such as constitutes felt.
When the yolk has been extracted by q
chemical process, the wool has tendency
to interlace its fbers, and to adhere firmly
to the union thus formed and from very
remote period this secret was possessed by
the Orientals. The hats which are con-
stantly alluded to in Scripture-those, for
instance, which were bound upon the heads
of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, when
they were cast into the Assyrian furnace
were genuine hats, but probably adorned
by turban cloths wound about them. l have
seen the self-same hats-tall, narrowy CYL
inders Of gray felt, surrounded by hand
kerchief or CLOTH on the heads Of the Jews
Of Asia. Nor was the use Of the hat He
brew monopoly. The Kurds, Persians, Ar
menians, and some tribes of Turks and
Tartars, wear the hat, as their fathers did
in Saladins day. The high lambs-wool
bonnet of the Persian is but brimless hat,
with nap of exaggerated roughness. The
HISTORIAN Christians of Kurdistan wear
hats almost exactly similar to battered
Irish caubeen, only of brown or dirty
white color. Throughout the East, the der
wishes and wandering fakirs may be known
by the tall, narrow hat of light-hued felt,
adorned by greasy rag and towering up
ward like chimney-pot.-ChamberS' Jour

NOVEL CURE FOR LoCKJAw.-A gentleman
of high standing, on whose Veracity we can
depend, relates an extraordinary instance of
a valuable mare of his recovering from con-
frmed tetanus, by having recourse TO means
we never heard of being adopted before. The
mare bad been docked; a few days after the
operation was performed symptoms OF lock-
jaw presented themselves. The best advice
was Immediately obtained, every remedy
inevitable. An idea Suggested itseiftt to the
lady Of the house, who is famed for the kind
and skilful way in which she dispenses med
icines especially to the poor of the surround
ing neghborhood, that sudden severe
shock might produce the effect of relaxing
the nerves and muscles, now strung to the
highest pitch, in the poor suffering brute. A
gun was loaded; the groom walked quietly
to the mares head, and discharged it close
to her ear. The mare reared suddenly up,
broke her halter, and fell backward; got up,
shook herself at once commenced eating,
perfectly recovered, is now alive, and has
bred two or three fine foas since.

GUARD Your LANGUAGE. - Tnere is as
much connection between the words and the
thoughts as there is between the thoughts
ana the actions. The latter are not only the
expression OF the former, but they have a
power 70 react upon the soul and leave the
stain OF their corruption there. A young man
who allows himself to use one vulgar OF pro-
fame word has not only shown that there IL a
foul spot upon his mind, but, by the utter
snce Of that word, he extends that spot and
inhames it till by indulgence it will pollute
and ruin the whole soul. Be careful Of your
words as well as your thoughts. If you can
control the tongue, that no improper words
are pronounced by il, you will soon be able,
also to control the mind and save that from
corruption. You extinguish the FIRE by
smothering ii, or by preventing bad thoughts
bursting out in language. Never utter a
word anywhere which you would 10

C0tton.

The stimulating advices from Liverpool,
received during the week, have produced
better feeling in this market, and led to a
more active business at an advance of "a
cent. Holders generally manifest great con-
fdence in the article, and only sell when full
prices can be obtained.
The dullness in the market during the past
month has been chiefly owing to the absence
of any spinning demand, but this is now
springiDg up again, and prices are in the
ascendant. The Eastern mills are mostly
under contract, at remunerative prices.
The limited stocks of cotton now on hand
in this country, the rapid advance in Liver
pool, the uncertainty Of future supplies from
the South for many months to come, and the
great damage sustained by the growing crop
during the months of August and September,
all combine to warrant the impression that
cotton must rule very high during the COM
ing winter.
The late movement in Liverpool shows that
they are only just beginning to realizs the
true character of the war in this country.
The probability of cotton famine is becom-
ing rather too apparent for the Manchester
people, and they are beginning to urge the
prohibition of any further cotton export from
Liverpool, or else the establishment of an
export duty. 1t is, of course, i'm possible to
predict the course of the British Govern.
ment under such q peculiar juncture of
atfairs.
We know, however, that in 1857 the ex-
port Of breadstuffs was prohibited in France
under the fear OF bread famine, and a simi.
lar measure on the part of England to avert,
as far as possible, cotton famine, should not
occasion great surprise, when it is consid-
cred how vast are the interests depending
upon q supply of the raw material.
One thing is certain, that as long as cotton
is allowed to be exported freely to this coun.
try there will not be the shadow of pretext
for interfering with the blockade to get sup
plies from US. Some of the cotton lately
brought from Liverpool is already on the
way back again,-Nsa0 York E0eniag Post

A PATRIoTfC LADY.-At knitting circle
in East Boston, few evenings since, lady,
remarkable for the Vigor and variety of her
intellectual attainments, stated that she was
actively employed, during the greater part
Of our war with Great Britain, in knitting
stockings for soldiers. AS an instance Of
her application she related that, duriug three
months sben only knitted stocking every
day (of course emitting Sundays but carded
the wool and spun the yarn for it. She
also stated that from nine years of age until
she was married, she earned her own living,
and we may add that there are few ladies OF
her present age who enjoy as good health, or
have minds more richly stored with acquired
knowledge, although she has had the cares
and troubles incident to bringing up large
family.-Bostoa Traveller.

How the Spinning Jenny Received Its
Name.


How the Spinning Jenny Received Its
Name.
The following beautiful anecdote is re-
lated of Hargreaves, the inventor of the
Spinning Jenny:
The invention had long engaged his at
tention, when one day he was observed to
drop suddenly upon his knees and roll upon
the stone floor at full length. He lay with
his face toward the floor, and made lines
and circles with the end of burnt stick
Then he sat upon chair and placed his
head between his hands, his elbows on his
knees, and gazed intently on the floor;
then he sprang to his feet aud replied to
some feeble question of his wife-who had
not risen since the day she gave birth to a
little stranger-by o loud assurance that
he had it and taking her in his sturdy
arms in the blankets, the baby in her arms,
he lifted her out and held her over the black
drawings on the floor. These he explained,
and he Joined q small, hopeful, happy
laugh, with his high-toned assurance that
she should never again "play" and have
his loom standing for want of weft. She
asked some questions, which he answered
after seating her in the armchair, by lay
ing her spinning wheel on its back, the
horizontal spindle vertically, while he made
the wheel revolve, and drew rowing of
cotton from the spindle into an attenuated
thread. sour fortune is made" he said,
speaking of his drawings on the floor,
"What will you call it2" asked his wife
"Call It'll What an we call it after thy
SELF Jenny2 They called thee Spinning
Jenny afore l had thee, because thou
beat every lass in Stanchil Moor at the
wheel What if we call it Spinning
Jenny?"

ONE OF THE CITIES OF JAPAN-Ohinese
papers of July l3 contain an interesting ac-
count of an expedition through portion of
Japan by the British Minister and Neither
lands Consul General. The most interesting
feature OF the journey was their visit TO .--J
town OF Osaka and its port of Heogo Osaka
Is in the London and Paris of Japan, the seat
OF trade and luxury, an enormous town in
teIsected throughout with large canals, lined
with magnificent warehouses, and spanned
with iDnumerable bridges. Business and
