The DANGERS OF BENzINE.-Our
lady readers, says the Journal Of Che
naistry, should be Informed that the
liquid called benEine, which they use
80 freely for removing grease and
stains from clothing, is worry dan
gerous article. It is one Of tho sub
stances distilled from petroleum, an d
is highly volatile, ibfammable, and,
when tho vapor is mixed with air. ex-
plosive. We have been much alarm
cd, upon visiting neigbbors and friends
in the evening, to observe a phial of
this fluid standing In close proximity
with lamp, or gas flame, aud the
odor pervading the room. A. very
small quantity is capable of doing ir.
reparable mischief: The contents Of
four-ounce phial, if overturned and
evaporized, would render the air of a
moderate-sized room explosive : or, if
ignitod, a whole family might be Sc
riously burned, or lese their hva from
it. 1t should never be used sin The Vi
oinity Of flame and it is important
to remember, that through the medi.
um of the escaping vapor, when the
phial is uncorked, fame will leap to It
through a space of several feet. Ben.
zine is often sold under various fanci.
ful names; and therefore, any article
procured from druggists for removing
oil or grsase'from fabrics should be
handled with tha utmost care. .aG.nL

VENTILATION.
u. II. TOLAND.

The great Importance of ventilation
in our sitting and sleeping rooms, in
our schools and public halls, is no,
sufficiently appreciated. 1t was well
set forth in recent lecture by Clev.
Gland professor. 1t is startling to
learn the amount of carbonic acid
emitted from tho lungs of one person,
or from single gas burner; enough
to poison tho whole atmosphere of a
good sized room in very brief peri.
cd of time. How many persons think
that winter temperature demands tho
exclusion Of fresh air to make their
apartments warm and comfortable,
whom the fact that in the cold season
we consume moro oxygen, and con-
sequently exhale q greater quantity of
the poisonous carbonic acid gas, should
lead to- directly opposite course. A
bedroom in winter requires more
ventilation than in summer, and the
non-observauce of this fact will req
dily account for the awful Diseases to
which frail humanity is subject.
We wonder If any of our readers
are aware of tho poisonous exhala-
tions incident to a congregation of
their "fellow citizens" in ball rooms
churches, and lecture halls. If they
have not fully considered the vast inn.
portance Of thorough ventilation, lot
them take these undeniable facts
home to their serious thoughts. A
person in health has eighteen breath
ings per minute, and thirty.five hogs
heads of air pass through the lungs in
twenty-four hours OF this, from
threo to five per ssat. or about two
and a half hogsheads is exhaled as
oarbonic acid gas, and thus one per.
son would render two or three hogs
heads of air unfit for breathing again
Let every person anxious for the pre-.
servation Of his health take care that
the windows of the dormitdries are
dropped a little, even during the win
ter nights. There is far loss danger
Of taking cold than there il, of inha-
ling the, noxious atmosphere, which
saps the health, undermines tho con.
stitution, and embitters life with suf-
fering and disease that might have
been avoided. ,... .n'r.t ,lI' Z,

THE STOMACH AND THE MIND.

Much OF our conduct depends, no doubt,
upon the character of the food we cat.
Perhaps, indeed, tho nature Of our meals
governs the nature of our impulses more
than we are inclined to. admit, because
none of us relish we'll the abandonment OF
our idea of FREQ agency. Bonaparte used
to attribute the loss of one OF his battles
to poor dinner, which, at the time, dis
turbed his digestion; how raany Of our
misjudgments-how many of our delibcr.
ate errors-how many of our uukiudncss.
es, our cruelties, our acts of thoughtlcss-
ness and recklesshess, may be actually
owing to cause of the same character 2
We eat something that derapges the con-
dl'ion OF the system. Through the stom.
ach nerve that arrangement Immediately
affects the brain. Moroseness succeeds
amiabillity; and under its influence we do
that which would shock our sensibility at
any other moment. Or perhaps q gastric
irregularity is the common result of an
over-indulgence in wholesome food, or a
moderate indulgence in unsuitable food.
The liver is afflicted. In this affliction tile
brain profoundly sympathizes. The tenn
per is soured; the understanding is mar.
towed; prejudices are strengthened; gen.
erous impulses are subdued; sel6shness,
originated BY physical disturbances, which
perpetually distract the minds attention.
becomes chronic mental disorder; the
feeling of charity dies out; we live for
ourselves alone; we have no care for olh.
ers. And all this change OF natu re is the
consequence Of an iniudicious diet.

In looks on the stage he would not
take the premium for the handsomost

the stage had the appearance of bee
ing a "cross" between the "get up"
of the immortal j. N. Free, wild

subject of my lecture is milk; upon
which there have been numerous es-
says written, and those who expect an
exhaustive treatise on the subject
will be disappointed. | like milk in
almost any form, but always prefer it
with-tho cream on." With that the
subject was exhausted, and Josh
went on to give, in his inimitable
style, the many Of his wise sayings
that have been offered from time to
time in the papers. Notwithstan ding
they were old they bore repeating by
Josh exceedingly we'll.
His idea that ho chad known a

johnson says, in his message,
respecting the public debt;
"Upon this statement of facts, it
would seem but just and equitable,
that the six per cent. interest now
paid by the Government, should be
applied to the reduction Of the prin-
eipal, in semi-annual installments;
which in sixteen years and eight
months would liquidatc the entire
debt. Six per cent. in gold, would,
at present rates, be equal to nine
per cent. in currency, and equiva-
lent to payment of the debt one
and a half times, in fraction less
than seventeen years. This, in
connection with all the other disad-
vOntages derived from this invest
mont, would afford to tho public
creditors a fair and liberal compen-
sdiion for the Stse of their capital,
and with this they should be salts
fed" He then adds, very signif-
cantly, this gentle intimation: "Thc
lessons of the past admonish the
lender, that it is not well to be
over anxious in exacting from the
borrower rigid compliance with the
letter of the bond"
