AT HOME. The highest style of being at
home grows out of special state of the
affections rather than of the intellect Who
has not met with individuals whose faces
would be passport to any society, and
whose manners, the unstudied and spontan-
eous expressions Of their inner selves, make
them welcome wherever they 90, and attract
unhounded confidence towards them in
whatever they undertake? They are frank
because they have nothing to conceal; aifa
BILE, because their naturet overflow with
benevolence; unaUrried, because they dread
nothing always at home, because they
cal ry within themselves that which can trust
to itself anywhere and everywhere purity
Of soul, with fitness Of health. Such are
our best guarantees for feeling at home in
all society to which duty takes us, and in
every occupation upon which it obliges us
to enter Tney who live least for them
selves are also the least embarrassed by
uncertainties.

The Uses OF ADvERsITy.-You wear out

visitors. You are exonerated from making
calls. Bores do not love you. Tax gather

avoid the nuisance of serving on juries.-
No one thinks of presenting you with tes-

You practice temperance. You swallow

ORIGIN of Cholera.

The report of an Egyptian Commission of
Inquiry rrofesses to have discovered what
biologists would term the matrix of the
cholera, and they certainly make out a very
good case in support of their hypothesis
They aver that it has its sources in that ster-
lie part Of Arabia, fanking the Red Sea,
called the Hedjuz, wherein stand the holy
cities of Mecca and Medina. The London
Court Journal gives the following facts eli
cited by their Investigations:
"'The annual pilgrimage to Mahomets
tomb congregates on this burning desert
eight hundred thousand pilgrims, who live
in the midst of the most ndescribable filth.
They die like rotten sheep, and are not even
buried, but shulIled under foot or so of
sand, which is easily blown Off the corpses.
Some two millions Of sheep are offered as
sacrifices, all the ofal of which is thrown
under the burning sun to help the miasma.
The pilgrims wear the same garments from
the beginning until the end Of their sacred
journey; and AS if this were not sufficient
help to originate and spread disease, the
clothes Of one who chances to die, no
matter Of what disease, are carefully preserv,
ed and distributed as memorials among the
relatives and friends.
Here we have at least all the predispos,
ing causes, according to the most logical
reasoning. for the institution and propaga-
ton Of cholera; but, in addition, we have
olso the vouched for fact that this year cho.
era did break out in this nest of putridity.
carried off one hundred thousand pilgrims
in the course of fortnight, and spread to
Egypt with the results. which everybody
knows. The Egyptian saaltarians argue
that here we have the nursery, the hot.bed
where the successive visitations of cholera
westward have been generated, and whence
they have been propagated and if obey viii
not succeed in earning universal belief We
can hardly find grounds for denying their
minor postulate, that here at least the pres
ent incursion Of cholera found its source
