tTBEFoRE you go for an editor
young man, pause and take big think.
Do not rush into the editorial business
too hastily. Look around and see il
there is not an omnibus or some meat
cart to drive-some soil somewhere to
be tilled-or clerkship to be filed
anything that is reputable or healthy,
rather than going for an editor, which
is bad business at best. We are not
a horse, and consequently have not been
called upon to furnish the motive pow
er for threshing machine-but we fam
cy that the life of an editor who is
forced to write, whether he fseSs like it
or not, is much like that of the steed in
question If the yeas and neighs could
be obtained, we believe that the int6lli-
gent horse would decide that the
threshing machine is preferable to the
sanctum editorial. The editors work
is never done. He is drained inces-
sanity, and no wonder that he dries up
prematurely. Other people can attend
banquets, weddings, etc, visit halls of
dazzling light, get inehriated, break
windows, and enjoy themselves in a
variety of ways, but the editor cannot.
He must tenaciously stick to the quill
The press, like sick baby, must not
be left to run itself even for day, or
somebody Indignantly orders the carrier
boy to stop bringing that - paper.
There's nothing in it; l won't have
it in the house "--Artemus Ward.

EkeaO an Hour q. Day.

There was a lad who, at fourteen
was apprenticed to a soap-boiler. One
of his resolutions was to read an hour a
day, or at least at that rate, and he had
an old silver watch, left him by his un-
Gle, which he timed his reading by.
He stayed seven years with his master,
and said when he was twenty-one he
knew as much as the young squire did.
Now, let us see how much time he had
to read in, in seven years, at the rate of
an hour each day. 1t would be 1855
hours, which at the rate of eight read
ing hours per day, would be equal to
three hundred and ten days; equal to
lorty-fye weeks; nearly a years read
ing. That time spent in treasuring up
useful knowledge would pile up a very
large store, l am sure it is worth try
ing for. Try what you can do Begin
now. In after years you will look back
upon the task as the most pleasant and
profitable you ever performed.

Concerning Wan.

Wonders at home by familiGit,
cease to excite astonishment; but
thence it happens that many know but
little about the "house we live in"-the
human body. We look upon a house
from the outside, just as a whole or
unit, never thinking OF the many rooms
the curious passages, and the ingenious
internal arrangements of the house. or
OF the wonderful structure of the man,
the harmony and adaptation of all his
parts.
In the human skeleton, about the
time OF maturity, are 1G5 bones.
The muscles are about 500 in number.
The length of the alimentary canal is
about 32 feet.
The amount of blood in an adult
averages 80 pounds, or full one-ffth of
the entire weight.
The heart is six inches in length and
four inches in diameter, and beats sew
enty times per minute, 1920 times per
hour, 100, ,800per day, 36, TIP 900 times
per year, 2,565, 5,44O, 900 in three score
and ten, and at each beat two and half
ounces of blood are thrown out of it,
one hundred and seventy-fve ounces
per minute, six hundred and fifty-six
pounds per hour, seven and three
fourths tuns per day All the blood in
the body passes through the heart in
three minutes. This little organ by its
ceaseless industry,

The lungs will contain about one
gallon of air, at their usual degree oI
initiation. We breathe on an average
1900 times per hour, inhale GOO gallons
of air or 24,400 gallons per day. The
aggregate surface Of the air cells of the
lungs exceeds 10000 square inches, an
area very nearly equal to the floor of a
room twelve feet square.
The average weight of the brain of
an adult male is three pounds and eight
onnces, of female two pounds and
four ounces. The nerves are all con-
nected with it, directly y or by the spinal
marrow. These nerves, together with
their branches and minute ramifcations,
probably exceed O,00O,O00 in number,
forming "body guard" outnumbering
by far the greatest army ever marshal
ed
The skin is composed of three layers,
and varies from one-fourth to one
eighth of an inch in thickness. It's av-
erage area in an adult is estimated to
be 1000 square inches. The atmos-
pheric pressure being about fourteen
pounds to the square inch, person of
medium size is subjected to a pressure
of 10000 pounds. Pretty light hug.
Each square inch of skin contains
$500 sweating tubes, or perspiratory
pores, each of which may be likened to
a little drain-tile one-fourth of an inch
long, making an aggregate length of
the entire surface of the body of
201, 166 feet or a tile ditch for draining
the body almost forty miles long.

A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.-There is a
delightful tradition connected with the
site on which the temple of Solomon
was erected. 1t is said to have been
owned in common by two brothers,
one of whom had a family; the other
had none. On the spot was sown a
field of wheat. On the evening sue
ceeding the harvest, the wheat having
been gathered in separate shocks, the
elder brother said to his wife, "My
younger brother is unable to bear the
burden & heat of the day. Twill arise,
take off my shocks, and place them
with his without his knowledge" y
Judge of their mutual astonishment,
when on the following morning they
found their respective shocks undi-
minished. This course of events
transpired for several nights, when
each resolved, in his own mind, to
stand guard and solve the mystery
They did so when on the following
night, they met each other half way
between their respective shocks witt
their armsful. Upon ground hallow
cd with such associations as thesi
was the temple of Solomon erected
so spacious aud magnificent, the ad
miration of the world. Alas in thes'
days how many would sooner stea
their brothers whole shock than adj
to it a single sheaf. 20 l Aa

Rum AND CRIME.-Rev. @. J. Garlic
ton, Chaplain of the States Prison at
Charlestown, we see, testified before
the legislative committee, that he had
conversed with 400 different men
who had been confined in the State S
Prison, and more than fifteen six
teenths of them said that liquor had
been instrumental in making them
commit crimes. Many came to him
when about to leave the prison, with
tears in their eyes, and said they al.
most feared to go out into the cities
where the sale of liquor was open
and temptation would be placed in
their path. He took vote short
time since, in the prison, and more
than 400 out of 600 persons voted il
favor of the prohibitory law. They
desire that it should be enforced, that
they may not be tempted to drink ano
through drink to commit other crimes
He thought the prison discipline was
beneficial to the prisoners. He woult
have the law rigidly enforced on al
the high and low, rich and poor. HI
would exclude the sale of it every

A CONFERENCE WITH CANNIBALS.-
Mr.. Charles Livingstone, British Con-
sui in the Blight of Biafra, has publish
ed an account Of a recent interview
with the King of the Okrika country,
with a view of STOPPING war between
that country and New Calabar-
Many chiefs were present. The
Kings audience chamber had no light
except through the doorway. The
narrative says:
MASSES of human skulls hang from
the walls and numerous rows of skulls
cover the roof of a sort of altar. In
front of this altar sat the jujuman
having a foot-stool of human skulls.
The Okrika had eaten the victims
whose skulls decorate the juju house.
The old man who accompanied US
spoke with evident gusto of the differ
ent cannibal feasts he had partaken
Of, and mentioned the parts of the hu-
man body which he considered the
sweetest.
Mr.. Livingstone discussed with them
terms Of peace, and it was finally
agreed that Fabia should send down
two Of his chiefs to meet the chiefs of
Bomy and Calabar, and settle the
differences.
The COnsula adds:
THE session lasted four hours and
half Never before in Africa have
| seen such powerful looking men as
the Okrika. | could not but admire
their physical strength. As they SET
before me chewing bits of chop stick
to clean their teeth, and gazing ear
nestly at me, the thought occasionally
flashed across my mind: Are these
cannibalS wondering how piece Of
roast Consul would taste, and which
would be most savory, cold Consul
or hot? On parting, Fabia made me
a present Of about a cart load of gigan
tic yams, two goats and fowl"

Beyond the River.

No mortal eye that land has seen
Beyond, beyond the river;
Its valleys and its hills so green,
Beyond, beyond the river.
Its shores are getting nearer,
The skies are growing clearer,
Each daJ it seemeth dearer,
Beyond, beyond the river.
CHORUS.
Its rage is almost over;
Wen anchor in the harbor soon,
In that land beyond the river.
No cankering care, no mortal strife,
Beyond, beyond the river;
But happy, never ending life,
Beyond, beyond the river.
Through the eternal hours,
Gods love in heavenly showers
Shall water faiths fair flowers,
Beyond, beyond the river.
That glorious day will ne'er be done,
Beyond, beyond the river.
When we've the crown and kingdom won,
Beyond, beyond the river.
There is eternal pleasure,
And joys that none can measure,
For those who have their treasure
Beyond, beyond the river.
When we shall stand on Zion's hill.
Beyond, beyond the river!
With endless bliss our hearts shall thrill
Beyond, beyond the river.
There angels bright are singing,
There golden harps are ringing,
We ne'er shall cease our singing
Beyond, beyond the river.

was, of course, astonished to find him.
self ushered into so large a gathering,
In which were some twenty ladies,
including the wife of his Excellency.
The Governor rose. took the man by
the hand, and spoke substantially as
follows:
"My friend, about twelve months
ago you We're committed to this pris-
on for five years for the alleged crime
of passing counterfeit money. Soon
after your incarceration circumstances
came to light tending to prove that,
although a counterfeit bill passed
through your hands, it was used by
you in an innocent manner, and that
you were unwittingly the dupe of a
scoundrel, who fed the State and has
never been arrested. | Immediately
ordered full investigation of your
case, and | am thoroughly convinced
that you are an innocent man and
serving out an unjust sentence. The
Constitution of the State gives me
the power to open the doors of this
prison; and in the lawful exercise of
that power | now grant you full
and free pardon. This very hour the
warden will relieve you of a convict S
uniform and give you citizens dress.
You have been a good man within
these walls, and while and my friends
here live, we will ever bear testimony
that your Imprisonment leaves no stain
upon your character. A dear wife
and loving sister have prayed for your
release. andI now restore you to their
hands, to be at once their comfort and
support"
As the Governor closed his re.
marks, the poor man, overjoyed with
happiness, trembled in every limb
and his face was wet with tears
Not person in the audience looked
unmoved upon the scene. All present
congratulated the prisoner upon his
release, and wished him happy and
prosperous future.

Courage, brother; do not stumble,
Though thy path be dark as night;
There's star to guide the humble;

And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely; strong or weary,

Some will flatter, some will slight,
Cease from man, and look above thee;
