Men without Hearts.

We sometimes meet with men who seem
to think that any indulgence in an affection
ate feeling is weakness. They will return
from journey, and greet their families with
distant dignity, and move among their
children with the cold and lofty splendour OF
an iceberg surrounded by It's broken frag-
ments There is hardly a more natural
sight on earth than one of these families
without heart A father had better extin.
guish boys eyes than take away his heart.
Who that has experienced the joys of friend
ship, and yaInes sympathy and affection.
would not rather loose all that is beautiful in
natures scenery than be robbed of the hid
den treasures of his heart? Cherish, then,
your hearts best affections. Indulge in the
warm and gushing emotions Of flial, pater-
nal and fraternal love. Miss MuLOch.

Passenger Postage-NeW Scheme.

Mr. Raphael Brandon, says al til
Fear Round, is the author of ne,
scheme Of railway organization, promis
ing results as wonderful as ever tn
street seller Of Bisnagar vaunted his car
pet 1t is simply au adaptation of 81
Rawiand Hills post Office scheme to rail
way passenger traffic. He proposes t
treat passenger like 4 letter, and scnC
him anywhere over The kingdom regard
less of distance, at fixed minimum
charge \ three penny stamp shall take
you, third class, any journey, in one di
rcctlon, you like to 90, whether from
Ludgate Hill to Sydenham, or from John
OGroat's to Lands End. If you prefer
second class you will take a six penny
stamp; if you will luxuriate in first class,
your postage will amount to one shilling.
This sounds as mad as the penny postage
innovation sounded at first But Mr., Bran
don quietly proceeds to argue in his
pamphlet that it would pay everybody,
shareholders, the public, and the Govern
ment, besides giving renewed impetus to
industry Of all sorts. The sum proposed
to be charged for passenger postage looks
ridiculously small. In reality it is not
SO much less than the average fare at pre-
sent paid for the average journey as might
be supposed. Iu 1868, in around nun
bers, 3,5O0,000 passenger trains ran over
7l,OOO,O 600 miles, carrying So, ,000,00
passengers. The traffic produced e14,-
S25,3Q2. This gives an average of near
ly p miles and IS passenger for each
train, which is about 3 Il passenger per
mile, giving an a, erAge of for fare, at re-
sent paid, average journey, Of lid, only.
Now, says Mr.. Brandon, give NE an uni
vcrsal Sd. fare everywhere, and I will
promise you six times the traffic, which
will give the united railway interest an
excess of G4,000,000 of receipts, with
very little, if any, addition to the expense
oficarrying On increased number of pas
scngers. But that is merely supposing
each person paid but 3D. 1t is calculat-
ed, however, that of the increased mum
bcs Of travellers one-seyenth would ride
first class at Is, and two-sevenths second
class at Cd. This would raise the annual
return to $32, 100000 for passengers
traffic, instead of $l4,750,OOO, as at pre-
sent Does some one say that the an
nalogy between carrying passenger and
carrying letter is false, because letter
is but half an ounce and passenger is
really meaty hundred weight? Which
is, BY far, the most expensive part of the
postal system? The transit Of letter or
its delivery? Its delivery. Granted,
then, that the transit of passenger is
something more expensive than that Of
letter, the passenger saves the most cost
y part Of the postal outlay, because he
delivers himself; the balance is therefore,
On the passengers side, for the addition
al expense of transit is nothing to the
saving in distribution and deisvery.

Butter.

e The Oldest mention Of butter (aud even
' that is an obscure one) is found in Hero
dotus, who says the Scythians ''stir the
: milk OF their mares, and separate that
which rises to the surface, as they consid-
r er 1t more delicious than that which re-
mains below it." This perhaps goes no
further than cream, but Hippocrates, who
wrote llp years before. Christ, and was
almost contemporary vito Heyodotus,
writes OF cream, that when it is violently
agitated, "the part, which is light. rises
to the surface and becomes what is called
butter The heavy and thick pars, which
remains below is kneeded aud dried, and
is known by the name Of hippace, The
whey or serum remains in the middle"
Here we have butter and cheese satisfac-
torily produced at least two thousand years
ago. But it does not appear from Hippo
crates, nor, indeed, from any of the ancient
writers who mention it, that butter was
ever used as an article of ordinary food--
That learned Greek physician speaks Of
its emollieut qualities and prescribcs it
externally as a medicine Strabo saws
that the Lusitanians used butter instea,!
OF oil and 41liaa mentions that the East
Indians aaointed the wounds Of their ele.-
plants with butter. Galcn writes that,
"ln cold countries, which do not produce
oil, butter is used in the baths" Pliny
recommends it to be rubbed over chil~
drens gums in teething, and also for ul-
GERS in the mouth Plutarch tells Us Of.
a Spartan lady who sGslled strongly of
butter, by whom it seems to have been
use as perfume or ointment. 1t IS
never mentioned by any Greek Or Roman
writer, as used in cookery, or ct the table.
The people Of Germany appear to have.
known the use of butter at very early
period, though how early is net known,
In that colder climate both butter and
cheese could readily be made and prescr-
we'd, while in Italy, Spain and other por-
tions of Southern Europe, they are not
even now largely produced. As subasi-
tute, the people Of those countries have
always been accustomed to the liberal use
of good oil, both for cooking purpose and
for the table. In the south Of France
butter is sold in the apothecay;es shops
tor medicinal purposes, and one Of stie
grievances recounted By traYlers in Spain
is that they can seldom meet with butter
In warm countries it is difficult to pre-
serve 1t for any length of time, aud it ap-
pears certain that the only butter the an
cient nations possessed was in an oily state
and almost liquid. The arabs are reput-
ed to be the greatest consumers Of butter
in tie world. a cup full of melted but
ter IS an ordinary morning drink among
all classes. BurckharGt, the Arabian.
travler, says that the appetite for it is un-
iversal, andthe poorest persons will svead
half their daily income IN order that they
may have butter at every meal. They
make it exclusively from the milk Of
sheep and goats, while other nations use
that of camels, mares and other animals

Interesting to SnOl.tsmen.

The Steele, of Paris, publishes an article
very interest ng 20 sportsmen, and states that
with Il very little care many accidents could
be avoided Out of one hundred cases Of a
double barrelled gun bursting, ninety-ive car
be traced to defects in the left barrel. The
reason is simply that the right barrel is mos,
frequently used and reloaded, perhaps, ten
times to the left one being discharged once.
Every time the righ. barrel is discharged
the gunpowder i'll the left is pulverised more
or less by the shock, which, therefore, leaves
space between the charge and the wadding
by settling. Naturally when the left barrel
is discharged il frequently explodes. These
accidents can be avoided by sending the ram
rod home with one or two smart blows into
the non-dischared barrel every time the 9TH
er is reloaded.

( Soon Rcbekah and her servants were

Abraham servant Here was a mark of
faith and love seldom cqualled in the an

She took last look at her native home

Weight of PeOple.

The average returns show that q citizen
of the world, on the first appearance in pub
lie, weighs about six pounds and half; a
hoy baby little more, and girl baby lit
tie less. Some very modest babies hardly
turn the scale with two pounds and a half,
while olher porteniious youngsters boast of
ten or eleven pounds. When Shvlock asked
for his ''pound.of flesh,' he asked for an G.
quivalent 10 4 little less than the sixth or
baby. How the tiny one grows during child
hood we need not trace hcre; but it may be
interesting 10 know that boys and girls Of
twelve years of age are nearly equal in
weight: at which limit males are heavier
than females Of The same age. Young men
Of twenty average n hundred and forty three
pnuads each, while the young women OF
twenty average one hundred and twenty
pounds Men reach their heaviest bulk at
