The Best He ConId Do.

As a general rule, newspapers, like
individuals, reluctantly acknowledge
that they have been wrong. They are
tenacious in the belief that, in the
constitutional aphOrism, 1.-THE King
can do no wrong" There is an anec-
dOte of an editor in one of the most
important provincial towns in Eng
land. He was seated at his desk, read
ing the letters received by that morn
ing's post, when an unannounced WISH
tor presented himself. ~ believe,
sir, that you conductthe-JourHdL?l
The reply was a nod Ofassent. "I am

was puzzled, but u~ndismayed: 1--WE
had the paragraph from our local re-
porter in your town, and have always
found him reliable and accurate"
The banker became more angry.
"Well, sir, you see that 1 am alive.
OF course, you will publish a contra
diction and apology in your next
numbers" 'I am afraid, my dear sir,
that this would violate our invariable
rule-which is, never to admit hal

Sorrow sobers us and makes the
mind congenial. And in sorrow we
love our friends more tenderly, and
the dead become more dear to u.s.
Aud just as the stars shine out at
night, so there are blessed faces that
look at us in our grief, though before
their features were fading from our
recollection. Suffering! Let no man
dread it too much, because it is good
for him to make sure of his being
immortal. 1t is not in the bright
day, but only in the solemn night,
that other worlds are to be seen shin
ing in their lone distance. And it is
in sorrow, the night of the soul, that
we see farthest, and know ourselves
natives of infinity, and sons and
daughters of the Most High.

The Man Who win Live Long.

Inc man VINO Will Live Long.
He has a proper and well-proportion-
ed stature, without, however, being too
tall. He is rather of the middle size,
and somewhat thick set. His COM
pleXion is not too fiorid; at any rate,
too much ruddiness in youth is seldom
assign of longevity. His hair approach
es to the fair rather than TO the black.
His skin is strong, but not rough.
His head is not too big he has large
veins in the extremities; his shoulders
are round rather than fiat his neck is
not too long his abdomen does not
project; his hands are large, but not
deeply cleft his foot is rather thick
than long (; and his legs are firm and
round. He has a broad, arehed chest,
a strong voice, and the faculty of re-
tanning his breath for a long time
without difficulty. There Is harmony
in all his parts. His senses are good,
but not too delicate. His pulse is slow
and regular. His stomach is excel
lent; his appetite good and digestion
easy. The joys of the table are not to
him of importance; they tune his
mind to serenity, and his soul par
takes in the pleasure which they COM
municate. He does not eat merely
for the sake of eating, but each meal
is an hour of daily festivity. He eats
slowly, and has not too much thirst ;
the latter being always a sign of rapid
self-consumption. He is serene, To-
quaciOus, active, susceptible of joy,
love and hope. but insensibIe 10 the
impressions of hatred, anger and av-
arice. His passions eve become
violent or destructive. If ever he
gives way to anger, he experiences
rather a useful glow of warmth, an ar
tiicial and gentle fever, without an
overlooking of the bile. He is fond
also of employment, particularly calm
meditation and agreeable speculations.
He is an Optimist, a friend to nature
and domestic felicity. He has no
thirst after honor or riches, and ban
ishes all thoughts of Tomorrow

THE
Short Lessons in Physiology.

4 man in good health will breathe
about eighteen times a minute. The
lungs of a man of average size, and In
| usual health when at rest. when nel-
Their expanded nor contracted, will
hold two hundred and ninety cubic
inches or n little less than a gallon of
air. Distended by ordinary breath
ing, they receive twenty inches more
three hundred and ten inches when
full. This twenty inches is the usual
extent of respiration. This is the
amount of air which the lungs need,
and which they receive at every in
spiration, when allowed freedom of
motion, eighteen times a minute, and
one thousand and eighty times an
hour.
About four cubic feet of air being
rendered by each person partially or
entirely useless for the purpose of pu-
rifying the blood and giving it new
life, it will, of course, be necessary
that we have 20 much new and fresh
air supplied every minute for each
one. The best authorities on the
subject of ventilation consider seven
feet as the least that should be sup
piled to each person in each minute of
life. A room sixteen feet square and
nine feet high will contain 1904 cubic
feet. This will be sufficient for four
persons less than an hour and a half
for ordinary day purposes. This
room, though not so large as some
that are inhabited by day or by night,
is yet as large as most and much larg-
er than many rooms so occupied. 1t
is esteemed a proper economy to have
small and tight parlors and sitting
rooms for the occupation of the fami-
lies during the day and evening, OH
an average these do not probably con-
tain more than LOO feet. If only
four persons inhabit one of these,
they would have air sufficient for less
than one hour. 1t is considered by
many a prudent architectural design
to have many and small sleeping
chambers. Many of these will not
contain more than 500 cubic feet, and
in such two persons sleep during the
night. Here is air enough to last two
persons a little more than half an
hour. SchOol-houses seem to be i'm
perfectly supplied with air as public
halls. 1t is rare that one enters a
school-room from the fresh air abroad,
after the scholars have been in a few
minutes without p~erceiving the foul
ness of the atmosphere within. A
room thirty feet square is ordinarily
supposed TO be large enough for eighty
ninety children, and if the room be
nine feet high, this will allow eighty
or ninety feet of air for every child,
which is sufficient for their breathing
or thirteen minutes. The Hall
Of the House of Representatives at
Jefferson City, is very imperfeetly
ventilated. Making al approximate
calculation it contains 10000 cubic
feet. 1t usually contains for five
hours each day about 200 persons
who exhaust the air in breathing in
exactly a half hour.

Father Williams, of Providence, is
sharp in retort. The other day he
and a Kitualist were in discussion,
when the latter defied the former to
point to a prayer mentioned in Scrip
ture that was not written. Father
Williams said: ''Can 1 ask you a
question ?" Certainly" was the
answer. "Tell me, them" said he,
"who held the candle when Jonah
prayed in the whales belly?"

In the Catholic Church at Seymour,
Conn.,, the other day, a pair were TO
be married, when in reply to the usu-
al inquiry of the priest, a young lady
arose from among the spectators and
forbade the bans. The priest inter-
viewing her, concluded not to marry
the couple, but, a few days after, per-
formed the ceremony between the
previous male candidate and the lady
who had interfered.
