FAT AND LEAN PEOpLE.-It is a strik.
ing fact that most people want to weigh
more than they do, and measure their
health by their weight, as if man were .
pig, valuable in proportion to his heavil
ness. The racer is not fat, the plough
horse has but q moderate amount Of flesh.
Heavy men are not those whom exparif
enced contractors employ to build rail:
roads aud dig bitches. Thin men the
world over are the men for work for en-
durance, they are wiry and hardy; thin
people live the longest; the truth is, fat
is disease, and, as proof. fat people arc
never well day at time, and are not
suited for hard work. Still, there is
medium between being as fat as butter
ball and as thin and juicelcss as o rail-
For mere looks, moderate rotundity is
most desirable, at least, to have enough
flesh to cover all angularities. To &C.
complish this in the shortest time, man
should work but little, sleep great part
of the time, allow nothing to worry him,
keep always in joyous, laughing mood;
and live chiefly On albuminates, such Is
boiled cracked wheat, rye, oats, corn and
barley, with sweet milk, butter-milk and
meats. Sugar is the best fattcner known.

The North Pacific Railroad.

The President of the North Pacific
Railroad is now advertising for proposals
from contractors, for building the fifst
section of the track, 230 miles, extending
from the Dalles of the St. Louis river;
(Which is about twenty miles from Duluth,
at the head of Lake Supcrior,) to the
Western boundary Of Minnesota. Duluth;
has been designated aud finally settled
upon as the Eastern terminus of the North
Pacific Line. The managers Of the road,
however, have perfected arrangements for
giving this great continental route direct
connection with Chicago, thereby making
for that city the commercial exfrepoi for
the Northwest. Chicago will therefore
be the practical Eastern terminus Of tho
road. 1t is the determination Of the
managers to push the work of construc.
tion as rapidly as possible, and before the
present season is closed it may be reasona-
bly, expected that the first section will
have been completed. The total cost Of
the whole work has been estimated at
s120, 100000. We notice BY DIR 81:
Paul exchanges that Jay Cooke, who rep
resents the moneyed power, is about to
establish in that city, branch house, as a
disbursing Office for the Company The
Chicago Post, of a recent date, says the
plans of the projectors are on most ddui-
prehensive scale. For instance, a bu,
reau of emigration has been organized,
which will aim at nothing less than the
planting Of thrifty population along the
great part Of the entire line ImmigTa.
tion from Northern Europe will first be
employed in building the road, and will
then be encouraged to settle on the fich
farming lands of the company as perha-
nent residents. To this end farms, fur
nished with new frame dwellings, will be
sold to the working men at low rates and
on long time. ,,o;...

The Mormons,

In the Salt Lake Dcserct Ncms, of March
1st we find an ally written article under
the head of Peaceful Agencies" from
which we copy the following paragraphs:
If there is de>ire to win Us back
agaiu to that peculiar civilization, which
every true philanthropist in the world
mourns over, powder and bullets are not
very convincing reasons t" the mind. The

bc converted before its power, but free
soulcl men and women. W ho know truth
and appreciate it, would meet death with
u smile rather than give ur one principle
which Jehovah had implanted as Il truth
in their hearts.
There are thousands of men in the
Eastern States who can dcclam loudly
against the cnnrmitcs Of MormpniSm';
men whose profession it is t. teach their
fellows; white ncckcl, kid gloved men,
with hair parted il! the middle, who have
studied for years the science of converting
by verbal gas. Could they not be en-
ploycd as peaceful influence? Should
thcy come here as missionaries to convert
us, VIC would treat them kindly, gentle
men, more SO than they treated our mis-
sionarics in our ncishborlools and all
we ask of them is, if they cannot convert
us by showing us the fallacy Of our posi-
tion, that. If VIC overturn their arguments
and maintain the fa!lacy Of theirs, they
will have the manly candnr to confess their
errors and become preachers of the truth.
But, probably, this would be asking too
much of them'

81 thought so," exclaimed Capt Wait,
ss he rubbed his hands in high glee !;
"there goes the Englishman's topsail to
the mast. Stand by to slip that cable the
moment give the order. Get those two
big rocks out of the boat and lay 'em down
under the quarter-rail."
The Yankees suppesition had proved
correct, for no sooner had the schooner
come into the wind. heeled over to the
starboard, and lain perfectly immovable
before this fresh breeze, than the officers
naturally supposed that she had run up
on rock, and instead of running their
own brig into the same danger, they had
hove to, and lowered a boat, into which
some fifteen men Immediately descended,
and put off for the unfortunate schooner.
Lift that heaviest rock up on to the
rail-" said Captain Wait, as the boat ap-
preached the sshooner's larboard quarter.
A block of granite weighing some eighty
pounds-a regular down-east boulder
was lifted to the rail, and two OF the men
stood by to throw it overheard. 1t was
now quite dusky, SO that those IN the ap-
preaching boat could not see distinctly
the nature of these minor movements on
the part of the Yankees.
"Hallo, Jonathan got into bad scrape,
haven't you?" hailed the officer of the
boat, as she began to round to under the
quarter.
"Darn it all-yes," roared Capt. Wait,
in perfect fury OF passion and chagrin.
"But eff hadn't run onto this cussed rock,
I'll be blarsted eff yeou'd ever ave ketched
us, you thunderin' old Britisher."
SWELL" returned the officer with
laugh, 81 am sorry for you, but we've got
You now, certain. Stand by with the
boat-hook forward"
The man with the boat-hook never
obeyed that order, for hardly had the
word escaped the officers mouth, when
plump smasn-oame the heavy rock, tear
ing and crashing through the bottom of
the boat.
"Let 90 that cabler' shouted Capt.
Wait, as he showed the helm hard a-star-
board. Haul over the iib. That's it;
now ease of the fore and main sheets"
The schooner paid off in an instant,
and with good full she darted off uader
cover Of two small islands, that stand be-
tween the Cape and Seguin, and which
protected her from the guns of the brig.
The last that our Yankee crew saw of
the boat that had been sent after them,
was just as she swamped, with the frantic
men still clinging to her sides, and in a
moment more, another boat come to her
assistance. The gloom, however, shut
ont further observation, and whether the
Englishmen were any of them drowned,
our heroes never knew. All they knew,
was, that their clipper schooner got safely
out to sea, and that they had caught ark
En0liSllnaan at FduN."

The Power of Courtesy.

There is much truth in the saying OF
celebrated Scottish Divine that, "the
power of diffosing happiness is not the
exclusive prerogative of the rich" All
individuals are capable of courtesy to
their fellows. The poorest man can give
cheer by his affection, OR make misery by
his hatred or contempt. Every individual
is dependant on another. A seeming
neglect, even from the lowest and most
contemplate of men, is sufficient to rufiie
the serenity of any ones peace and hap.
piness; and civil attention even from
the humblest of our race carries a gracious
and exhilirating influence with it. The
poorest have it in their power to give or
withhold kind or obliging expressions.
They have it in their power to give or
withhold the smiles of affection and sim
cerity of attachment, Let no individual
disregard the humble offerings ofpoverty.
The man of sentiment knows how to
value them, he holds them as the best
deeds of benefcence. They make light
the weary anxieties of this life, and carry
him on with a cheerful heart to the end
Of the journey.

SpECTAJ, NOTICE,


The American people are emphatically 60 fast
livers." The constant wear and tear of brain and
muscle brings on manv ailments, including dis
pepsia and all its attendant horrors, such as bill
dria and general debility of the whole system.
All persons thus afflicted need some gentle stimu-
lant which comprises medical properties and the
virtues of the best tonic. Such an article can be
found in ALIENS CONGRESS BITTERs. They are
not cheap Whiskey, but scientific combina-
