medical book We possessed was Bu-

The Nature of Fate,
EMERsoN's IDEA OF DESTINY,

From the advance sheets of Ralph
Waldo Emerson's new work, the '.Con-
duet of life, we clip the following re-
specting Fate:
"The book Of natvFe is the book Of
fate. She turns the gigantic pages
leaf after leaf--never returning one.
One leaf she lays down, a aaor Of gran
ite; then thossand ages, aud bed Of
coal thousand ages, and layer of
mari and mud vegetable forms appear,
her first mis- shapen amin ais, 20 pl vt,
trilobium, f.h thea saurians--lude
FORMS in which she has only blocked
her future stature, concealing under
these unwieldy monsters the fine type
of her coming king. The face Of the
planet cools and dries, the races NELL
crate, and man is born But when a
race has lived its term it comes no more
again.
The population Of the world is a con-
ditional population not the best, but
the best that could live now; and the
scale Of tribes, and the steadiness with
which victory adheres to one tribe, and
defeat to another, is as uniform as the
supcrposition Of strata. We knowthat
in history what weight belongs to race.
We see the English, French and Ger
man planting themselves on every shore
and market of America and Australia,
and monopolizing the commerce Of these
icountries. We follow the steps of the
Jew, Of the Indian, and Of the Negro.
We see how much will has been ex-
pended to extinguish the Jew, in vain.
Look at the unpalatable conclusions
Of Knox, in his Fragment Of Roses, a
rash and unsatisfactory writer, bus
charged with pungent and unforgetable
truths Mature respects race, and not
hyhrids 'Evry race has its own habitat.
Detatch a colony from the race, and il
deteriorates to the crab See heshades
Of the picture. The German and Irish
millions, like the Negro, have great
deal of guano in their destiny. They
are ferried over The AtlaGtc, and cart2d
over America, to ditch and to drudge,
and to make corn cheap, and then TO,
lie down prematurely to make spot Of
green grass on the prairie.
Fate is unpenetratcd causes. The
water browns ship and sailor. like q
grain Of dust. But learn to swim. trim
your bark, and the wave which drowned
it will be coven by it, and carry it like
its own foam, plume and power.
The cold is inconsiderate Of persons,
tingles your blood, freezes man like
dcw-drop. But learn to skate, and the
ice will give you graceful, sweet and
poetic notion The cold will brace
your limbs and make you foremost
among men of time. Cold and sea will
train an imperial Saxon race, which ma
ture cannot bear to lose, and, after coop
ing it up for thousand years in yonder
England, gives a hundred Englands a
hundred Mexicos. All tLe blood it
shall absorb and dominecr ard more
than Mexcos--thc secret of water and
steam, the spasms Of electricity, the
! ductility Of metals, the chariot Of the
air, the ruddered balloon are awaiting
you.

A Coop IDEA "A gentleman who
was travelling in Germany made the In
quiry in an important place in which he
happened to he on It the Sabbath, in
which church he would be likely to hear
the best music. The answer was. we
do not have any music in church" "
Somewhat surprised, he asked il no
hymns were sung. The person enquired
Of responded in the affirmative, but he
some how appeared to have no idea that
this was music it was religious exer-
else into which music came incidentally,
without doubt, bat in such subordin-
ate place as to be hardly regarded for
its own sake. This is the proper idea
in congregational singing. Muslc is
not the object, but devotion. Ike exer-
else must not be regarded as musical,
but religious. The most rhetorically
elegant prayers are not necessarily the
best by any means, but on the contrary,
the rhetoric may become positive him
drance. So with the singing Of hymns,
that manner which most effectually en-
cages the hearts Of the congregation is
best, though it may lack musical ele-
gance.

Behind the Scenes,

Long, long ago, had an aunt,
Who took me to the play
An act of kindness that | shan't
Forget for many a day.

And fancicd that it must be prime"

vcntured to express the same,
In quite a candid way,
And shocked my aunt--a proper dame,
Although she loved the play.
Twas just the moment when Macbeth
Whose voice rcsembled kean's)
Was perpetrating Duncan's Death
O. p. behind the scenes
recollect that evening yet,
And how my aunt was grieved;
And, oh, [ never can forget
The lecture | received.
Tt threw light upon the class
OF knowledge that one CLEANS,
Though being privileged to pass
His time behind the scenes.
The Columbinc I worshippod then
Was forty, should think;
NY count, the commonest Of men;
Ny villain, fond Of drink.
The fairies believed so fair,

The sort Of people should care

I cannot boast that enjoy
Those stage illusions sti}s;
I'm getting far too old boy
TO laugh or cry at VII.
And | can look with languid eye
On mimic kings and qcecnS,
And boast that nothing makes ne sigh

All, shallow boastings. false regrets
The world is but stage,
Where man, poor player, struts and fre'

And then leaps biindly, IN breath,
The space that interVenes
Between this stage career and death,
Who turks behind the scenes!

About Dogs.

There is great deal Of human nature
about dogs. AS a general thing, throw
out bone among them, ana the one
that gets it and holds it is the best fell
low. There are exceptions, however,
to this rule, though they may be rare
The other day a lavorlte, small dog, who
himself always takes up for the abused
party, especially if the party be small
child or a particular friend, was engag-
ed in polishing valuable bone for his
dinner, when another large dog came
and drove HIM away and took possession
Of the bone himself Another dog,
still larger than either, saw what was
going on. lie was particular friend
Of the small one in play. Hc came
leiaurely along, seized the intrader by
the back Of the neck and gave him a
most thorough shaking, and il that
way carried him off some distance and
dropped him. He Their returned and
took the bone, and deliberately laid it
down before the small dog, and those
who saw the performance will insist,
that, after makinga low and polite bow,
retired to distance till his small friend
had finished his repast. t.--Gazena Gazette.

A Judge and counsellor being upon
Indifferent terms client Of the coun-
sells made his appearance at the bar
with his jaw terribly swollen, the Judge
remarked, 'Mr., this client Of
yours would make an excellent counsel
lor, he's all jaw which set the court in
a roar of laughter at the counsellor.
On silence being restored, the counsel
lor then remarked
.sMy lord, ! think be would make a
better Judge, for his jaw is all on one
side.
The retort turned the laugh against
the Judge, and from that day they were
on the best terms Of friendship.

NEW French METHOD OF RENDER
ING A HORSE QUIET WHILE BEING SHoD
The head Of the animal being covered
SO that he cannot perceive what is going
on around him, and an assistant having
hold cf the bride, another person stands
in front, and orders the horse to lift his
left hind foot. In reply the horse most
probably begins to kick yioleatly. A
smart blow is then administered by the
person who has spoken, on his checks
with both hands-the hands instead of
being removed after the blows, being
strongly pressed on the checks. A new
order is given to lift the foot, and most
generally is again disobeyed, but less
energetically than at first. The blows
on the cheeks are repeated for the sec
ond time. At the third repetition, the
animal trembles all over, and resistance
being at an end, he is then shod as easily
as the quietest horse.
