WALKING.

Walking briskly, with an exciting object OF
pleasant intrest ahead, is the most health
full of all forms of exercise except that OF
encouragingly remunerative, steady labor
in the open air; and yet multitudes in the
city, whose health urgently require exer-
else, seldom walk when they can ride if the
distance is mile or more. 1t is worse in
the country, especially with the well-to-do;
horse Or carriage must be brought to the
door even if less distance have to be passed.
Under the conditions first named, walking
is bliss: it gives animation to the mind,
it WHITES the circulation, it paints the
checks and sparkles the eye, and wakes
up the whole being, physical, mental, and
moral.
We know family of children in this
city who, from the age of seven, had to
walk nearly two miles to school, winter
and summer; whether sleet, or storm, or
rain, Or burning sun, they made it an am
bition never tc stay from school on account
of the weather, and never to be "late;'
and one of them was heard to boast that in
seven years it had never been necessary
20 give an '.excuse p" for being one minute
behind the time, even although in winter
it was necessary to dress by gaslight
They did not average two days sickness in
a year, and later they thought nothing Of
walking twelve miles at a time in the
Swiss mountains. Sometimes they would
be caught in drenching rains, and wet to
the skin; on such occasions they made it
a point to do one thing-let it rain,-and
trudged on more vigorously until every
thread was dry before they reached home.
There is no unmedcinal remedy known
to men of more value in the prevention of
constipation than few miles joyous walk
ing, let one follow it up week-a walk of
two or three miles in the forenoon, and as
much in the afternoon-and, except in
rare cases, when a longer continuance may
be made, the result will be triumphant; and
yet nine persons out of ten would rather
give a dollar bottle for some nauseosu
drops or poisonous pills than take the
trouble to put in practice the natural rem
edy Of walking. Nor isthere an anodyne
among all the drugs in the world which is
the hundredth part so efficacious, in secur-
ing refreshing healthful, delicious, glorious
sleep, as judicious walk.

SWiftness of the Ostrich.

The bird most celebrated for f1eetness of
running is the ostrich, or bird camel Stru-
THO Camelus }, as it may well be named.
"What time she lifteth up herself on high"
says Job, ''she scorneth the horse and his
rider According to DR.. Shaw, the wings
serve her both for sails and oars, whilst
her feet, which have only two toes, and
are not unlike the camels' can bear fatigue.
Though the ostrich is universally admit
ed to 90 faster than the fleetest horse, yet
the Arabs on horseback centrive to run
these birds down, their feathers being valu-
able, and their flesh not to DO despised.
The best horses are trained for this chase.
When the hunter has started his game, he
puts his horse upon a gentle gallop, SO as
to keep the ostrich in sight, without COM
ing too near to alarm it and put it to its
full speed. Upon observing itself pursued,
therefore, it begins t o run at first but gen.
thy, its wings like two arms keeping alter
nate motion with it's feet. 1t seldom runs
in direct line; but, like the hare, doubles,
or rather courses in circular manner;
while the hunters, taking the diameter or
tracing smaller circle, meet the bird, at
unexpected turns, and with less fatigue to
the horse. This chase is often continued
for day or two, when the poor ostrich is
starved out and exhausted, and finding all
power of escape impossible, it endeavors to
hide itself from the enemies it cannot avoid,
running into some thicket, or burying its
head in the sand: the hunters then rush in
at full speed, and kill the bird with clubs,
lest the feathers should be soiled with
blood.

GAMING IN PARIS.

In Il book called "La Police de Paris
Devoice, " a curious sketch is given of the
origin of public gaming tables in the CAPT
tal and the corruption they encouIa aged.
They were first started by NJ. de Sartines,
Minister of Police under Louis XIV, whose
valet, the author takes occasion to inform
US, had 10, 000c. year. NJ. de Sartines
established these seductive caverns, as they
were called, on the specious pretex of as
sembling all cheyaliers d'industrie, SO that

chased the privilege of keeping these tri-
President d Aligre's lackey; Cardonne, a
washerwoman from Versailles, who was a
mother at thirteen years of age; Dufrenc,
flower girl from Lyons, and other ladies
Of the kind, who used to share the spoil
with the "executioners," as the sharpers
were then termed. There were fifteen of
these caverns in various quarters of Paris;
each tabe, "to give it an appearance of
respectfully, paid 3OO0f. per month to
the poor, and the houses were under the
control of a cashier.general called Gombeau.
Before these tripots had been long at work
ladies of every rank solicited the privilege
of setting up an establishment, and the
ambassador of Venice, taking advantage
of his invielability, kept a very productive
tripot in his private hotel. The working
class. adds the author, were received and
played in place appropriately called Fsn-
fer. The houses authorized by M. de Sar-
tines remained open till the Revolution,
and they were re-established by Napoleon,
for what purpose may be easily imagined.
That they improved the general morality
of the country in the days of Louis XIV is
very doubtful, notwithstanding that the
tables passed into the possession Of ladies
of rank who worked by means of agents

TIE Boy AND THE DUKE.-An English
farmer was one day at work in his fields,
says the Christian Weekly, when he saw
party of huntsmen riding about his farm.
lie had one field that he was specially
anxious that they should not ride over, as
the crop was in a condition to be badly
injured by the tramp of the horses; so he
despatched one of his workmen to this field,
telling him to shut the gate and then keep
watch over it, and on no account to suffer
it to be opened. The boy went as he was
hidden, but was scarcely at his post before
the hunters came up, peremptorily ordering
the gate to be opened. This the boy
declined to do, stating the orders he had
received and his determination not to DISC
hey them. Threats and brides were offered
alike in vain. One after another came for
ward as spokesman but all with the same
result; the boy remained immovable in his
determination not to open the gate. After
a while one of noble presence advanced
and said in commanding tones: "My boy,
90 you KNOW me dln Juc Duke Oh w ell
lington, one not accustomed to be disobey-
ed; and command you to open that gate,
that and my friends may pass through"
The boy lifted his cap and stood uncovered
before the man whom England delighted
to honor, and then answered firmly: /" 1
am sure the Duke of Wellington would not
wish me to disobey orders. l must keep
this gate shut, nor allow any one to pass
but with my masters express permission"
Greatly pleased, the stern old warrior raised
his own hat and said: 81 honor the man
or boy who can be neither bribed nor
frightened into doing wrong. With an
army of such soldiers 1 could conquer not
only the French but the world" And
handing the boy glittering sovereign, the
old Duke put spurs to his horse and gall
loped away, while the boy ran off to his
work shouting at the top of his voice,
"Hurrah! hurrah! I've done what Napo-
leon couldn't do. I've kept out the Duke
of Wellington"

BRECON BRIDGE.
i. 7. PALGRAVE.

Breeon, built at the confluence of TIT
rivers Honddhu and Csk, has hence it
native name Aberhonddhu pronounced
4A5erhonndy). Llewelyu, the last independ
ent Prince of the Welsh, was killed il
Breconshire.
Low to himself beneath the sun,
While soft his dusky waters runs
With ripple calm as infants breath
An ancient song Usk murmureth
BY the bridge of Aberhouddhu.
IT is not of deeds of old, the song,
Llewelyn's fate, or Gwalia S wrong:
But how, while we have each our day
And then are not, he runs for aye.
He sees the baby dip its feet
Within his limpid waters sweet:
And hears when youth and passion speak
What smites with fire the maden's check
Then, manhood's colors tanned to gray,
With his fair child the father gay;
And then Old Age who creeps to view
The stream his feet in boyhood knew.
From days before the iron cry
OF Roman legions rent the sky,
Since man with wolf held savage strife,
Usk sees the flow and ebb of life.
AS mimic whirlpools on his face
Orb after orb, each other chase,
And CLEAN and intersect and die,
Our little circle eddy by.
But those fair waters run for aye,
While to himself, Where'er they stray,
AU footsteps lead at last to DEATH,
BY the bridge Of Aberhonddhu.

ere long size gate and little avenue,
Which indicated my vicinity to some place
of abode. After proceeding about three
hundred yards or so the wood became more
open, light appeared before me, and
found it to proceed from window on the
ground floor of little two-storied mansion
built entirely of wood. The sash, which
was divided in the middle, was unbolted,
and stood partially and most invitingly
open; and knowing how hospitable the
Nolwegiaus are, without troubling myself
to look for the entrance door, l stepped
over the low sill into the room (which was
tenantlessl, and looked about for bell
pull, forgetting that in that country, where
there are TO manteipieces, it is generally
to be found behind the door.
The floor was, of course, bare, and paint
cd brown; high German stove, like a
black iron pillar, stood in one corner on a
stone block;' the door, which evidently
communicated with some other apartment,
was constructed to open in the middle,
with one Of the quaint lever handles pecu-
liar to the country. The furniture was all

Of that morning, with meerschaum and

some one had recently quilted the room.
I had just taken in all these details by

A SWEARING CLERGYMAN.--A good
story is told of two prominent ministers
of Newport, the favorite New England
Summer resort, which is too good to be
lost. Rev. DR.. r., Of the Trnitarian
Congregational Church, and Rev. Mr..
b., Of the Unitarian, being on the best
of terms, were one day invited to dine
at the house of a mutual friend. Mr.. b.
for some reason failed to come, and some
one at the table took occasion to remark
upon his excellent qualities. " Yes"
said the doctor, " he is a very fine man ;
but isn't it pity he will swear?" "Mr.
Is. swear What do you mean?" was
the general exclamation from all sides.
" Mr.. b. is very fine man." persisted
the doctor, but | am sorry to say he
sometimes swears." Being pressed for
an explanation, he finally yielded. Some
time before, the two had been out fishing
together, and as the doctor stood on one
rock, he heard some conversation between
Mr.. Band Il fisherman, who were at a
little distance on an other. The fisher
man said, "I've got d good bite"
4" 50 hare l." answered Mr.. b. "You
see" persisted the doctor, "that though
Mr.. b. is very fine man, he will swear" Z"
