The Doc BEFORE The MIRRoR.-Gotthol
had a little dog, which, when placed before
mirror, became instantly enraged and barked
at his image. He remarked on the occa-
sion: sin general. mirror serves as an ex-
element to self-love. whereas il stimulates
this dog to anger against itself. The animal
cannot conceive that the figure il sees is only
its rejection, but fancies that it is strange
dog. and therefore will not suffer it to ap-
proach its master. This may remind of
an infirmity of our depraved hearts. We Of
ten complain of others, aud take offense at
the things they do against us, without reflect
ing that. for the most part, the blame lies
with ourselves. Men behave iii to US, be-
cause we behave i'll to them. Our children
are forward because they have inherited and
learned forwardness from us. We are an
CRY with them yet they are our own image"

FACT FOR WORKMANSHIP is indeed fact
worthy of remark, and one that seems never
to have been noticed, that throughout the
whole animal creation, in every country and
cline of the earth, the most useful animals
that eat vegetable food work. The allpower
full elephant, and the patient untiring camel,
in the torrid zone; the horse, the OK, or the
donkey, in the temperate; and the reindeer
in the frigid zone, obtain all their muscular
power from natures simplest production-the
vegetable kingdom. But all the flesh eating
animals keep the rest of the animated crea-
tion in constant dread of them. They seldom
eat vegetable food until some other animal has
eaten ii first, and made it into flesh. Their
OWE flesh is unfit for other animals to eat, ,hav-
ing been itself made out of flesh, and is most
foul and offensive. Great strength, fieetness
of foot, usefulness, cleanliness, and docility
are then, always characteristic of vegetable
eaters.

WERE We to contrast the dignity of the two
nations, America and England, that of the lat
ter would be naturally lowered in the estima-
ton Of the reader. One simple fact will go
to show in what particular England differs
from us in her definition of the word dignity.
To sustain it's moral character, and with it the
throne, the poorer classes of the manufactur-
ing districts, and even many of a higher class
were actually robbed, and the bread taken out
of their mouths to pamper to the aristocracy.
Millions of pounds sterling were drained from
the laboring classes to lavish on the Prince of
Whales; and invest in Government stock for
him and his heirs forever 1t was during this
time, and even in the midst OF the lavish ex-
penditures, that the working classes called a.
loud for bread. Who responded to the call (?
Was il the Queen or her Parliament Oh
no. 1t was America, a nation which, accord
ing to their ideas, s'rds a thing Of the past. !"
1t was here we returned good for evil, and dis
played dignity which must have called up
blush on the cheek of England IS queen. But
monarchs have no souls, hence no emotions.

of nice bread crumbs to one quart of milk
one cup OF sugar, the yolks of eggs beaten,
the grated riDd. of lemon, a piece of butter
the size Of an egg. Bake until done but not
watery. Whip the whites of the eggs stiff,
and beat in teacupful of sugar in which is
stirred the juice of lemon. Spread over the
pudding layer of jelly or any sweetmeats you
prefer. Pour the whites Of the eggs over
this and replace in the oven and bake lightly.

The editor of the Scientific american who
has examined the Monitor Passaic, now un-
dergoing repairs at New York, says the trial
to which she was subjected during the attack
on Charleston, proves that our ron-clads are
impregnable. and that we may safely defy all
the English iron-clads and their armaments.
The Whitworth shot, or fac simiLes of them, in
majority of cases, struck sideways; they
reached the turret in all possible positions,
and show very poor shooting on the part of
the rebels. There is no indenta;ion on the
Passaic deeper than tea SANGER, and she was
the most injured OF the attacking feet except
the Keskuk, which was rot a monitor.
