To study what one does, not love-
that is, to contend with ennui, weari-
ness and disgust, for good that we do
not desire; to lavish the talent that
we feel is created for something else,
in vain, on subject we fear that we
cannot succeed, is to withdraw so
much power from one where we could

An excited individual of the Dutch
persuasion rushed one day into the
Mayors Office, in city not over q
thousand miles in direct line south
eff Communipaw, and demanded an
interview with that worthy function
airy. He was told by Tom Brown that
the mayor was subjected to the ordi-

gone to dinner. = 8,

MISCELLANEOUS.
AYRE,s sARsAPARILLA
For Purifying The Blood.


The reputation this excellent medicine en-
joys, is derived from its cures, many ofwhch
are truly marvellous. Inveterate cases of
Scrofulous disease, where the system seemed
saturated with corruption, have been puri-
fed by it. Scrofulous affections and disor-
ders, which were aggravated by the scrofu-
loGs contamination until they were painful
" affecting, have been radically cured in
such great mum bers in almost every section
of the country, that the public scarcely need
to be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most de-
structivc enemies Ofour race. Often this IN
seen and unfelt tenant of the organism I'M
dermines the constitution, and invites the
attack of enfeebling ar d fatal diseases, with
out exciting q suspicion of its presence
Again, it seems to breed infection through
out the body, and then, on some favorab
occasion, rapidly develop into one or other
ofits hideOus forms, either on the surface or
among the vitals. In the latter, tubucles
may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it
shows its presence by eruptions on the skin,
or foul alterations on some part OF the body.
Hence the occasional use of g bottle of this
.Sar8apariIJG is advisable, even when no ae-
tive symptoms of disease appear. Persons
afflicted with the following complaints gene
rally find immediate relief, and, at length,
cure. by the use of this S-4RSA PARLLLA:

the more concealed forms as DysPeESiI, Dr0U-
81, Hear. Disease, FITS, EoateESy, 8elrdLgaG,
and the various Ulcer0us affections OF the
muscular and nervous systems.
Syphilis or PeHereIE and HercuTiaL DiSedS-

uuired for subduing these obstinate maladies
bv any medicine. But long continued use
Of this medicine will cure the complaint
Leuc0rrh0a or IVhteS, Uterme UIcerGtt0Rs,
and Female Diseases, are commonly soon re-
lieved and ultimately cured by its purifying
and lnvigorating effect. Minute directions
for each case are found in our Almanac, sup

The Louisville Journal says that a
workman in France has accidentally
discovered that varnish removes the
pain of q burn instantly. He burned
his hand and in his agony popped it
into a pot of varnish and was sgreea-
bly, surprised to fnd himself imms-
distsly relieved of all pain. Some
French chemists have been expert
mentiug successfully with salt as a
manure. Landberg, a German chem
list, says that artificial light contains
ninety per cent. Of calorifo rays,
while sun light contains only fifty
To this fact Re attributes the effect of
artificial light upon the eyes. An
English officer has discovered that
the West India "wheel bug" can
communicate an electric shock to the
flesh of the person it touches. A
coutrivance consisting of a fan at
lached to the fre-box of an engine,
so as to catch smoke and drive it
back into the furnace where il is con-
sumed, has been invented.

The atmosphere covers the earth
as an ocean, about fifty miles deep
A mans chest contains nearly two
hundred cubic inches of air, but 10
ordinary breathing he takes in at one
time, and sends out again, about
twenty cubic inches--the bulk of q
full sized orange, and he makes about
fifteen inspirations in a minute. He
vitiates, therefore, in 3 minute, about
the sixth part of cubic foot, but
which. mixing as it escapes with ma
ny times as much of the air around,
renders unfit for respiration three OF
four cubic feet. The removal of this
impure air, aud the supply in its
stead of fresh air, is accomplishe d
thus: The air which escapes from
the chest, being heated near the tenn
psAture of the living body, 900. and
being thereby dllated, is lighter,
bulk for bulk, than the surrounding
air at any ordinary temperature, it
therefore rises into the atmosphere
to be diffussd there, as oil set free
under water: rises. In both cases a
heavier fluid is in fact pushing up
and taking the place of lighter. In
aid of this process, come the greater
motions in the atmosphere called
winds, which mingle the whole, and
favor agencies which maintain the
general purity.

ARCHIMEDEs' LEVER.

The apothegm of Archlmedes-
'Give me lever long enough and
prop strong enough and will move the
World"-arose from his knowledge
of the possible effects of machinery,
and however it might astonish
Greek of his day, would now readily
be admitted as theoretically possible
as it is practically impossible; for,
according to DR.. Arnott, Archim edes
"wOuld have required to move with
the velocity of cannon ball for mill
ions of years to alter the position Of
the earth by small part of an inch.
This feat of Arohimedes is, in math-
smatical truth, performed by every
man who leaps from the ground, for
he kicks the world away from him
whenever he rises, and attracts it
again when he falls"

The most probable derivation Of
this phrase is that it comes from the
printing Office, and arose from the
fact that the p's and q's in Roman
type vary but slightly in form, and
that when reversed, as they necessa-
rily are in type, they are easily con-
founded by young compnsitors. An
other derivation refers it to the "ScoL"

Winter in Florida.

Walter Lyon, one of the publishers of
the Manitowoc Tribune, who went on a
visit to Florida several weeks ago, writes
letter to the Tribune, that he has come
to the conclusion to locate himself in St.
Augustine. His letter to the Tribune con-
tains many interesting facts respecting
the country We take an extract from his
letter Of date Dec IS.
est. Augustine will become as fashion
able as Saratoga, West Point and Newport
are for summer, and the climate can not
be eaualled. The air balny, fresh per
fumes sent hither and thither, on every
breeze-yet fresh and bracing. There be-
ing more or less wind every day, particu-
larly after o'clock a. H., thereby driving
off the oppressive heat which is found in
the interior. It is free from ague and fe-
yer scourges Of the valleys. The sum
mers being equally as healthy as the win
tiers, and not SO hot as other places, either
north OIL. south A stranger may ask what
has kept the country back that has suc
superior advantages. We answer slavery
We hope and trust that the monster has
blcd itself to death, and that st. Angus

turtles Of war, blood, and. above all, tho

The country abounds III wild game
bear, turkey, quail &c. and the ocean anC
inlets in All abundance of very fine fish
and biyalves, which can be caught anC
gathered at any and all seasons Of the year
AL that is wanted here is northern en-
crgy and immigration. There is plenty
of United States and State lands; some
within three miles of the town. Wanted
Yankees, Germans, Dutch, Danes, Norwe
gians, Irish, in tact any nation that will
work, and such as are daily filing up the
northwest, to settle here. They can raise
two and three crops per year and with
very much less labor than in the north
!; west all the cereals and vegetables that
grow nohth can be cultivated here in
winter and summer or both Those that
are not too lazy to work, are now luxuri-
| ating in green peas, cabbages, radishes,
parsnips &c. During the winter the town
is full of northern people, who come here
for the double purpose of enjoying the
balmy atmosphere which glides inapercep-
tibly from one season into the orther, and
to mvigorate their lungs, which in very
many cases the vicissitudes of northern
winters have very perceptibly deteriorat-
ed. Strangers from the north have just
began to arrive.
Before we came here, we were caution
ed over and over again about alligators.
