THE RIGHT HAND.-Are we "right-
handed" as the result Of education or for
some other reason? A writer in Once a
Week thinks nature dictates the habit
He says:
Its universally goes far to prove that it
is instructive; for among existing nations
none seem to be gifted as were the Benja-
mites Of old.~ The left arm is the weaker,
but whether naturally or only from disuse
remains to be ascertained. 1t would ap-
pear that the difference Of strength ex.
tends to the organs of locomotion. When
we meet an obstacle in walking, it is easier
to turn to the right than to the left, as if
the right leg had the most power and free
dom Of motion; and it is said that if a man
lose himself on plain, without any guide
or landmark, he will, in his efforts to 20
straightforward, invariable bear to the
left, the dexter limb imperceptably taking
longer strides. Even left-handed man
uses his right manual for many purposes !;
aud right handed mortal has to train hard
to become ambidexterous, Only one sug-
gestion can we afford to account for the
general right-handedness; it is that ma
ture has designedly kept the working arm
away from the heart, that the violent ac-
tions of one may affect as little as possible
the delicate functions of the other.

SrANrtx's TREAsoN.-tt will be recol.
lected that SOME months ago there was /
controversy abodt the sentiments Of Mr..
Stanton at or about the time Of the break.
ing out Of the rebellion, relative to tAS
merits Of the issue between the North and
South. On the one hand it was alleged that
Mr.. Stanton *as in full sympathy with tho
Sodthsrners, that he said encouraging
words to certain U. s. military officer
who had determined to sspouse the South
,ern cause; that he enthusiastically in.
dorsed the course determined upon by ex.
Senator Brown, aud gave him God
speed as he left the United States Senate
to go the Southern Coufederacy, ETC. On
the other hand it was by the friends Of
Mr.. Stanton, but never by himself, denied
that he was in sympathy with the rebellion
at the commencement thereof etc. etc.
On this subject another and more perfect
proof has turned up. A letter is extaut
written by Mr. Stanton to gentleman in
the West, wherein the Carnot of the war
en- unqualified terms expresses his approx
al Of the stand taken by the South and his
sympathy with their struggle. The letter
is dated after he attack upon Sumpter
and after the date of the melee between the
Baltimoreans and members Of the Masss.
