A Lizard in a Woman's Stomach Four
Years.

The Calais (Me.) Advertiser says that
young woman of the name of Sherwood
belonging TO ST George, n. b, who lived
as a domestic with Mr.. ). b. Pool, Of Ca
lais, about year ago complained OF a
living creature being in her stomach, and
applied to several physicians for medi-
cine to relieve her of it, but to no effect.
AT length it grew SO troublesome, and
had such facilitating effect upon her,
she gave up her place and went home to
die, as she fully expected; for to live in
such state she felt and knew was an i'm
possibility. After she got home DR.
Rouse was called, and after hearing her
story, left her powerful emetic with di-
rections how and when to take it. She
took the medicine as directed, and the
result was that lizard, about six inches
in length, was elected from her stomach.
When it fell into the howl, it is said, it
fairly bit at the sides of it, and jumped
out and ran along the floor till it was
killed by one Of the persons in attend
ance 1t had been in her stomach about
four years.

The Ladies and the President.

A pleasant scene was Witnessed at the
White House few days ago. A number
of young ladies, pupils of female in
stitute at Baltimore, of which Prof. N.
c. Brooks is principal, and representing
Maryland Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee
and other Southern States, visited Wash
ington expressly to pay their respects to
the President. They were most cordially
received, and Mr.. Brooks, on behalf of
the young ladies, addressed the Presi-
dent in neat little speech, assuring him
of their high admiration for his elevated
craftsmanship, and the grateful appre-
citation of his kind and conciliatory feel
ings towards that section of the country
from which they came, in his efforts for
the restoration of the Union. The Pres
ident kindly took each of the young Ia
dies by the hand, and expressed his graf.
ification at meeting them. He spoke OF
the benignant influence of women in
calming the present strife, and said he
considered their presence here as
cheering evidence that it was not impos-
sible to cement firmly the bonds OF the
Union The young ladies then withdrew,
much charmed with the affability of the
President They returned in the even
ing train to Baltimore.

Tbe Iovc.. FORM. or Animal Lie.

DIR. Stein, II German professor, has re-
Gently summed up the progress and at
tainment of knowledge as the 'infuso-
rial animals;'i or the lowest forms of an
imal life, such as are seen in liquids by
the help of the microscope. The con-
clusions nre adverse to the theory of
Darwin of the creation of animal life
from vegetable matter, and its steady
growth or development upward to the
highest forms of existence, even to man.
Dr.. Stein says all insuforia are supplied
with special inner propagating organs,
that it is incredible that they are created
in any other way, that they are only
brought forth in like forms of the
same species, that under no cir
cumstances are they developed from
inert matter, and that no human exPe-
ment9ver has or ever can produce the
simplest living atom. How the first
forms of each species are brought into
beinG-iS a secret that no science has yet
solved, and probably never can but it
has proved that all life comes from life,
and IL must be content with that achieve
ment. DR.. Stein reconciles hia conclu-
sions with the frequent phenomenon
that small animal life appears among
vegetable matter put inwaterj and even
in apparenuy.pu pure rain-water itself, by
stating that It has been discovered that
the infusorial animals have the capacity
of changing into a passive state and
sules, like iinfinlesima1 bits of vegeta-
Bile matter; aud IA this form are at
-tached to grass, earth, or other su bstaii-
ces, and go along with them into water,
or are washeGiinIo it, and being there
in are re-yivi6ed, and multiply. An
other pecuIiarity of these simple forms
OF animal life is that come, ifinot all of
them, are multiplied by dividing them
selves in two. Under the protection of
these antagonistic conclusions to the
5Dhrwinian theory, man may hold him
self in new self-respect, rs a distinct,
original crea1ion-''fn the very image of
;Goilt-and not a RECONSTRUCTED" !" over

How TO CONTROL THE LOWER Ma
rURn.-ssThe true heart Of moral culture
is to balance eGtravagant tendencies by
ouickening those which are lanSuid.
Growth is safer mems Of producing
harmonyith than repression" How often
have 1 felt and said this You cannot
descend to the regions of the lower, ma
ture, and wrestle with success there.
You must go above and fight them as
Perseus fought the dragon that would
have destroyed Andromeda, on wings
in the. air. The lower Is snbdued not
by repression, but by making 1t simply
an instrument of the higher. No fast
ing for instance, will make the soul
pure but noble attachment viii Keep
all base feelings in check, and ennoble
them. By the by, that is a better rem
edy than Cato's; that was the very es-
sefice of st. Paul's system that was the
