THRILLING INciDENT.-At a te64-
perancc meeting in Philadelphia, some
years ago, a learned clergyman spoke in
favor Divine as drink; demonstrating
its use quite to his own satisfaction, to
be scriptural, gcntlemanly, and health
full. When he sat down, aplain eldet-
ly man rose, and asked leave to say q
few words. "A young friend Of mine
said he, 'who had long been Incorporate,
was at length prevailed on to the great
joy of his friends, to take the pledge of
e..iirc abstinence from all. that could
intoAicatc. He kept the pledge faith
fully forsome time, struggling with his
habit ftarfully, till one evening in So
ciul party. glasses Of wine were handed
around. They came to clergyman pre-
sent, who took a glass, saying few
words in vindica.ion of the pfactice.-
WELL thought the young man, if
clergyman can take wine, and justly it
so well, why not l? So he also took d
glass. 1t Instantly rekindled his fefy
and slumbcring appetite, and after
rapid downward course, he died Of de-
Iirium tremens-dieda racing madman.'
The old man paused for utterance,
and was just able to add, that young
man was my son, and the clergyman
was the Rev. Doctor who has just ad-
dressed the assembly,

WALK EREcT.-Walking erect not
only adds manliness Of appearance, but
develops the chest and promotes ting
general health in high degree, because
the lungs being relieved Of the pressure
made by having the head downward
and bending the chestliu; admit theaif
freely and fully down to the very botn
tom of the lungs. 1a {, 30 .a - :,
IAN effort of the mind is made tu
throw Tho shoulders back, q feeling Of
tiredness and awkwardness is soonlex-
pcrienced, or it is forgotten. The use
Of braces to hold up the body is neeesi
sarily pernicious; for there can can be
no brace which docs not press upon
some patt of the person 1note than is
natural, hence cannot fall to iinptas Id.
juriOusly the circulation of that part
But were there none of these objections
the brace would soon adapt itself to the
bodily position, like a hat, or shoe, or
new garment, and would cease to be a
brace. L"'.'''1'.
To maintain an erect position, Of fs.
coyor Il when lost in q manner which
is ut once natural easy, and efficient, it
is only necessary to walk hal'itually with
eyes fixed upon an object ahead a little
higher than your own-the caves Of
house, thetop Of mans hat, or simply
keep your chin q very little above ho-
rizontal line or it will answer to walk
With your hands behind you. 1feither
Of these things is done, the necessary,
easy, and legitimate effect is to relieve
the chest from pressure, the air gets in
more easily, dcvclopes more fully. aud
permcates the lungs more extensively,
causing more perfect publication of the
blood, iYparting higher health, more
color to the cheek, and compelling .
throwing out of the toes. To derive
the highest benefit from walking, hold
up that head, keep the mouth closed,
and move briskly. -.

Professor Loomis, of New Haven,
considers the earth q very unsafe place
to s,ay on any longer, from the fact that
the late volcanic manifestations have
been so general in their character, that
there is no longer any doubt about the
theory that all volcanoes have not a To-
cal, but general origin, in the central
liquid parts of our globe, where the
most intent heat prevails. Let him

SOMETHING CdMiNd.-TAe suns
atmosphere, Say the scientific men, is in
highly cncitcl condition. A column
of ma gne,ic lighl is shooting out further
from the solar sphere, and it is now
stretching ont 45,OOO,0Oo of miles
In other words, 1t has accomplished half
The distance brtwc.n US and the sun !!
The interesting question:, and one on
which perhaps tie do not wish any more
light of this character, is, How long
will it be before it finishes the rest Of
the distance and bridges the gigantic
chasm between the earth and the sun !?
Is it messenger sent out TO snatch us
IN AZ food for the insatiatc monster that
keeps himself warm by dcvonring plan
ct:, and whose fire. eating propcn>ities
this whole earth would satisfy for few
days only? If 80, how long will this
eaissary b, in reaching us and carrying
the gloLe away as if it were a gigantic
lump u. c"ul for II furnace ? This column
Of light at intervals indicates its ap.
pruch by alshing and corruscatins with
n
fresh brilIiancy. So decided are its CT
frc,s that two astronomers Zone at Lon
don. the other at Oxford, and neither
knowing the experiences of the ohcr,)
supposed that the dark. glass of their
telescope had been broken or put out
