INHABITANTS OF THE HUMAN
BODY.

What think you reader, of your
body being planet, inhabited by liv-
ing races, as we inhabit the earth
Whatever may be your thoughts on
the subject,it is even so. Your body is
but a home for parasites, that crawl
over its surface, burrow beneath it's
skin, nestle in it's entrails, and riot
and propagate in their kind in every
corner of its frame. The sensation
in regard to trachina in swine flesh
has set the scientific to knocking
their heads together" and the result
is the following facts Parasites not
only inhabit the bodies of all animals
used by us as food, but they areblso
found in abundance in our own or
ganization. The species trachina spi-
rails, of which so much has been said,
and whose existence has been discov-
cred in pork, is, according to our best
anatomists, found in almost every
muscle of the human body. 1t lies
along the fibres of the muscles, en-
veloped in little cysts or sacs about
one-fourth of an inch in length. 1t
can be distinctly seen and examined
only by tho use of the microscope
Professor Wood, of Philadelphia
says: "No evidence has yet been
produced of any morbid influence ex-
erted by the trachina upon the sys-
tenn during life They have been
found in subjects carried off by sud-
den death (accident) and in the midst
of health" An English authority
says 1T is a notorious fact that
the numerous parasites do crawl over
our surface, burrow beneath our skin,
nestle in our entrails, and riot and
propagate their species in every cor
ner of onr fraU.e Nearly a score of
animals belonging to the interior of
the human body have been already
discovered and described, and scarce
ly tissue or an organ but is occa-
sionally profaned by their inroads. =
Each, also, has it's favorite or it's
special domicil. One species of stran-
gle chooses the heart for its dwelling
place, another inhabits the arteries,
a third the kidneys. Myriads of mi
mute worms lie coiled up in the vol
untary muscles, or in the arcolar It's
sue that connects the feshy fbres.-
The guinea worm and the Clique
bore through the skin and reside in
the sukiacent verticular membrane.
Hyatids invest various parts of the
body, but especially the liver and the
brain. A little fuke, in general ap-
pearance much like a founder, lives
stepped in gall in the hillary vessels.
If you squeeze from the skin of your
nose what is vulgarly called a mag.
got-the contents, namely one of the
hair follicles-it is ten to one that
you will find in that small sebacious
cylinder several animacula, exhibit
ing under the microscope a curious
and complicated structure. Even the
eye has its living inmates. With this
knowledge of our composition, it mat
ters but little how many entozoa we
consume, so long as we do not see
them it is nothing more than all
ages have done before us. We might
with as much propriety refuse to
drink water, which, however pure, is
fairly alive with animalculae, as to
refuse to eat meat because it exhibits
(under the microscopy entozoa."

only of the four skeletons from one

bones taken from other graves, were as
oerfect and sound as teeth could be-
not one single speck Of decay. either

the teeth, most of them were evidently

From the measurement and size of

muscular, we'll developed, and not less
than six feet in hight. The great qaes-
ton arises: Who were these men, and
at what age of the world did they live!
The rowing bands of red men of the
great Mississippi Valley, have left some
tradition or mark whereby their race
can be ascertained almost to certainty;
but in the case of these men of whom
write-their custom Of burial-the
charred human bones-charcoal and
ashes thrown into the bottom of the
grave as it were pillow for the head to
rest upon, is mode of performing the
last sad rites to frail humanity, that we
have no historical or traditional account
Of Possessing all the fond hopes and
desires that we have and enjoy, the fact
is obvious that a race of men have pass
ed away, leaving about their last resting
place, no signs, hieroglyphic, or work of

cepting the bony parts of their own

The people of Lafayette, Ind, had q
grand wood saving tournament for the
benefit Of the poor in that city, recently.
Four mines entered for the contest, as
follows: Young Mems Christian Assoz

nine Unknown (Fenian) nine and Ins
dependent nine. A big procession was
formed, headed by "a band of music,
which escort ed the four macs to the
wood piles which had been enclosed by
a high fence. The sawyers marched to
the place with their saws at what the
military call fright shoulder shift" Four
piles of wood were built, each contain
ing nine cords, and each g nine" attack
ing a pile. The time exhausted in saw
ing the wood, ranged between three and
four hours. A large crowd Of ladies
and gentlemen were present, cheering
the contestants in their labors. Besides
the thirty six cords of wood thus pro-
vided for the poor: over one hundred
dollars from other sources were realized.
The whole contest was one of the most
interesting and exciting character, and

to become popular institution in the

In reference to the manufacture Of
beet sugar, it appears that the average
production Of refined sugar per acre is
twice as great in France from beets as
it is in Louisiana from cane, and several
hundred pounds more than in Cuba.
That the beet-sugar manufacturers Of
France and 6 Germany, without protection
not only compete successfully in their
own countries with the sugar manufac-
turers of the world, but are enabled to
export large quantities to England, q
country that finds more than one sixth
of her consumption supplied by beet
sugar from the Continent. That sugar
can be produced in the West cheaper
from beets than it can be landed there
from any other part in the world, inclu-
ding Louisiana, where the crop is a
precarious one, seldom coming to full
maturity, owing to the shortness of the
season

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.-T The
majority against this proposition in Ohio
at the late election, is upwards of $4,000.
The cause of this check to the hitherto
successful Republican, party in Ohio
may be attributed { u to the proposition
to enfranchise colored men (2) to the
disfranchisement of deserters, and (3l
to the unpopularity of Secretary McCul-
loch's financial policy, for which our
party is, unjustly, held responsible.
Business is dull times are hard; peo-
pie are complaining, not knowing exact
ly what ails them, and this operated
against the party in power. This delu-
sion will soon pass away. The Demo
Gratis make great promises, but they will
fail in their fullfllment. More than this,
they would, if placed in power, destroy
the credit of the Government and bring
wide spread disaster upon the coun-
try. Now that the excitement of
the campaign is over, Republicans who
left US temporarily will review their ac-
tion and return to the party that saved
the country. Ohio will give sweeping
majority fora Republican President next
year. But the friends of the cause must
work, and they cannot begin TOO soon.

On Wednesday last while the propeller
Equator was on her way from Buffalo to
Cleveland, when about fourteen miles
from Port Stanley, and some miles from
shore. q large buck was discovered
swimming in the lake. After dodg-
ing about for an hour, his antlered
highness was taken on board the
propeller alive. But he was not con-
tented in his new and unfamiliar quar-.
ters, and made it so lively for those on
board that they were obliged to kill him,
as the Trishman said, ITO save his life.'
The buck had been probably closely
pursued by hunters in Canada, and had
taken to the lake to save his venison.

The formation of our manners and
customs, our habits, and our opinions,
our knowledge of men and things con
nected with this life and the life to come,
may be regarded as the instruction nee
essary to proper Education Of the hu-
man the religious, physical and intel
lectual man. And, since the "greatest
study OF man is man. and since, also,
the developement and perpetuity of all
needed blessings depend on his Educa-
ton, it is strange, passing strange to US
when we look abroad on community and
note the Indifference to the cause mani
Tested by lawyers, doctors, priests, &c;
while it seems there are many of these
classes have no excuse for their indiffer-
ence unless it is that their humbuyery
can best be practiced among the ignorant
and less informed. The quack in medi-
cine may ever be found in the darkest
and most ignorant corners of the world,
seeking subjects for his imposition. If
physiology was taught in every family
and all made acquainted with the laws
of our physical being, we might "throw
physic to the dogs and bar out all
mountebanks from human society.
The lawyer who has little regard for
proper Education, may always be
found in the midst of sin, himself the
greatest sinner. Where whisky abounds
such lawyers much more abound: for they
know full well that the grogshops furn-
ish the crime and delinquincies that sus-
tain the p-ofession-hence they are op-
posed to Temperance, and every moral
reform. it may be set down as a fact,
that each bar is dependent upon the
other for a support
Among the ministers of the gospel
we find many true to God and humanity;
but there is class of those who minis
ter in sacred things, as false as false
can be. Such are controlled by ''bread
and butter" and if they ever say any
thing on the subject of reform, it is to
howl ont their execrations against the
true reformer, brand him with & 'infdei
ity.' and hedge up his way, and keep
the people gnotant Of truth and p:eju-
diced them against education. Others
there are, whose theology is so iiliberal
and repugnant to common sense, that,
shonld the laisy ever become intelligent
enough to. comprehend the enormities
of their crime they would revolt; hence,
we find such giving but little support to
the cause Of Education.
In this respect the politicians are not
less guilty. Many editors, legislators,
and governors of our States, are nothing
but political tricksters, and do al in
their power to prevent the people being

VALUE OF THE SABBATH.-A Amongst
the precious lessons conveyed in the
Masonic lectures, none is better impress
ed than that of the value of the Sabbath.
We therefore seize with avidity upon
whatever corroborates our position in
relation to it. The following, explain
ing the ply ysical value of the Sabbath, is
well put together for the readers of the
National Freemason:
L.. The simple rest from labor, by
which wearied bodily powers may be
restored, makes this institution beyond
estimate valuable. Week day efforts run
the machine down; the Sabbath winds
it up. as go
2. The reaction upon the body Of the
rested, refreshed and enlivened mental
powers which Sabbath rest secures, is
of great value to the physical system.L
g. The Cleanliness which well kept
Sabbath always brings, in connection
with changing of apparel, &c, is evi-
dently favorable to health and vigor.
4. The honored Sabbath powerfully re-
pulses every species of vicious indul-
gence, and favors all those virtuous hab-
its which SO strongly befriend mems
physical welfare.
5. The most satisfactory experiments
have shown that vastly greater amount
of physical labor can be accomplished
with the rest and refreshment of the Sab
bath than can be without it.
6. The same has been verified in ref
erence to laboring animals, such as
horses oxen, &c. Hence the laws of the
Sabbath expressly mentioning them,
'sThou, nor thy cattle
| T. Every species of human industry
is befriended by the Sabbath's regularity,
returning rest, restoring wasted powers,
invigorating wearied faculties, and put
ting the human engine in proper order
for the demands made upon it by the
succeeding labors OF the week.
Hence both the wisdom and beneyo-
lence of God beam forth in the institu-
ton of the Sabbath Hence, too, Sab
bath violation is wrong done to one of
the best friends Of the weary and suffer
ing inhabitants OF the world.
