the 264th hour the eyes appear. At the 2ssth

the chest At the end of 355 hours the bill
frequently opens and shuts and at the end of
451 hours, or the eighteenth day, the first cry
of the chick is already heard; it afterwards
gets more strength and grows continually, till
at last it sets itself at liberty by opening the

are made by rule, and there is not one of them
without sufficient reason. No part of its body
could appear sooner or later without the
whole embryo suffering; and each of it's limbs
appears at the proper moment. How mani

able in the production of the animal-the work
of q Supreme Being!

dicrous representation, Durer has painted the

his scene of Peter denying Christ, represented
pipe of tobacco. Dutch painter, in o pic
tnre of the Wise Men worshiping the Holy
Child, has drawn one of them in large white
the act of presenting to the child model of o
Dutch man-of-war. In Dutch picture of
Abraham offering up his son, instead of the
patriarch's stretching forth his hand and
he is represented as using more effectual and
modern instrument; he is holding to Isaacs
head o blunderbuss. Berlin represents in pic
ture the Virgin and Child listening to violin;
and in another picture he has drawn King

Christ with St. Catherine "A French artist

LABOR Copuc1vE TO LONG L1FE.-In view
of the short duration of life entailed by some
occupations, it must be regarded as q consoI-
ing, yea, sublime fact, that labor in general
does not tend to shorten life but, on the con-
trary, by Strengthening health, lengthens life;
while, on the other hand, idleness and luxury
are productive Of the same results as the most
unhealthy occupations. DIR. Guy, an English
man, in calculating the average duration of
life in wealthy classes, arrived at the very SUR
higher the position in the sociM scale, the
more unlimited their means, the less the prob
ability of o long life. We have SO long been
accustomed to consider the possession of riches
as the best guarantee for physical welfare
that many viii be surprised to hear from Guy
that the probability of the duration of life
population, in the same degree as the beneficial
impulse for occupation is lacking. If . person
who, for q long time has lived in active life,
retires from business, it may be taken for
granted, with o probability of ten to one, that
he had seized the most effective means to
shorten his life.1 We may smile at the soap
maker who. after having formally retired from
business, went, nevertheless, on each day of
soap-b boiling in his workshop but it must also
be acknowledged that his instinct did not mis-
lead him. OF all conditions of life, fdleness Is
the hardest for nature to combat; and this is
especially true of persons who have accustom-
ed themselves to o busy life.
A SMALLPOX REsEDY.-A correspondent of
the Stockton (Cal) Herald writes as follows
81 herewith append recipe which has been
used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases.
It will prevent or cure the smallpox though
the pittihgs are filling. When Jenner first
discovered COW pox in England, the world of
science hurled an avalanche upon his head,
but when the most scientific school of medi-
cine in the world-that of Paris-published
this recipe as q panaccea for smallpox, it
passed UNDECIDED. 1t is as unfailing as fate,
and conquers in every instance. 1t is harm
less when taken by q well person. It will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as
have used it, and cured my children of scarlet
fever; here it is as have used it to cure
