1t is a law of organic life, tracea-
BILE from the lowest specim ems Of the
animal kingdom, through all the a5-
cending series, to the highest type
of the human being, that, III the as
cending scale, the softer and more
fluid tissues gain on the more dense
Al d solid; and that the cerebro.spi-
nal nerve tissues gains upon all other
tissues, Thus man, the crownirg
work of organic creation (tor tie
present at least has a brain sub
stance vastly dispropottionate TO
that of any animal, and the brain is
composed of only one part OF solid
matter to seven or eight Of fluid.
4 recognition Of this law leads us
to some very important practical
considerations. The capacity olany
animal or person to enjQy or suffer
is in the ratio Of the cerebral deyel-
opment. Hence a large animal with
powerful muscles may strug lie vio-
lently yet suffer little pain; while u
human being with weak muscles and
large "yitativene s, may suffer ,ex-
cruciating pain without manih.ting
much muscular effort
If this principle were understood,
those praiseworthy Societies for
The Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, might establish a branch OF
department for the benefit Of human
beings; for there is in every large
city in the world, more cruelty prac
ticed on human beings every day il
the year, than on all the animals il
all creation during the wholeye
Another lesson deducible from
these premises is the mis- aiken II
ton about orerworked brains, They
cannct be ovtrworkod, They sutfel
little "w NJ and tear" because of ex
ercisc. Being soft and almost fluid
and having no duties but thinking
and feeling, their motions are almost
as free and frictionless as the drops
OF water which may toss and tumble
forever without injury.
1t is the nutiitive system that is al

keep his vital machinery in order

The Law of Negligence.

In 1855, aninfant of six years had
his right loot crushed and mangled
while playing with other children on
a turn table belonging to the Sioux
CITY and Pacific rrilway, in the town
of Blair. 4 suit was brought by his
next friend, in the Circuit Court Of
the United States ut Omaha, for
damages. The jury, on the first tri-
al, disagree J; hut n second trial re-
suited, on the JJh inst, in verdict
for the plaintiff for $500. The
ground Of the action was, that it was
the duty OF tle defendant to keep
the turn table securely locked or as
tened 50 as to prevent it from bang
turned or played with by children,
or TO keep the sune guarded SO as to
prevent injuries such as befell the
plaintiff. 1t appeared on the first
trial that the turn table was con-
strurtcl and lett as all railways con-
struct and leave their turn tables
Judge Dillon instructed the jury that
/ ilthc company did not know, and had
no reason to suppose, that children
would to the turn table to play, or
had no reason to suppose ti,at if they
resorted there they would likely be
to get injured thereby, then a ver-
dict could not be found against the
| defendant. But, ii the defendant
did know, OF had good reason to be-
lieye, under the circumstances the
children of the place would resort to
the table to play, and if they would or
might be injured, then, if the defend
ant took no means to keep the chill
dren away, and no means to prevent
! the aecldent, defendant would be
guilty of negligence, and would be
answerable for damages caused to
children by such negligence. The
finding of the jury as above stated,
was that the company We're guilty Of
neglect, of want of due and proper
care in the construction Of machine
ry of a dangerous character, and SO
leaving it exposed that, as reasona-
ble men, the officers OF the road
ought to have seen that such acc.-
dents would occur.

Physiology.

A great deal more attention should
be paid to the study OF physo' ogy
by both men and women. If we had
less Latin and Greek in the schools
and more physiology, the world
would be better off. 1t is impossi.
BILE that the masses of men can be
healthy, and so moral and successful,
without some knowledge Of their
structure aud of its laws, which they
must obey or suffer. How can a
Young woman be called educated,
who is ignorant of physiology, of her
duties as a mother, of the divine art
Of nursing? How many men know
anything of the relations of the waste
and supply in the nervous economy;
Why, not one man in hundred
knows even what the stomach is
made for, and the other ninety nine
are constantly transgressing the
rules they have learned. We may
take the old parable of the apple in
the garden as an apt illustration
of the way mems stomacb'
make havoc with their moral sense
Not one man in hundred knows OF
suspects that God made the air to be
breathed. Every part Of his houst
may be reeking with miOsma, th'
cellar full of all evil, the partitions
clotted with dormant mischief, auC
he never dreams OF it, but goes OF
milling down his windows and list
ing his doors. If we could only SCI
the air we have once breathed over
Even the architects of our public halii
and churches have the cludest idea o
ventilation.

Drinking Habits in England.

Th- number of dram-shops and
drinking palaces are almost incredi'
bic. Taking the country through,
there is a dram shop to every forty
houses, and to every 200 Of the pop
ulation. This is as exact a5 statis-
tics. Besides this, most families
keep constantly on hand from the
wine merchants and brewers an
abundanc. OF private tipple. 1t is a
beor-swillin, nation. One has heard
that Away. but does not realize it
until he hers the everlasting Mag
ria OF yellow bitterness rolling down
the national throat. On all streets
servant gill5 are flying to and fro
from public houses with tneir Jugs OF
porter and ale. It IS no mild beyer-
age like the German lager, but strong
stuff that muddle- one in no time,
full Of al manner Of poison and mas
tiness. Charles Kingsley says that
it is common habit for the public
house keepers to buy one or two bar
rels Of beer Of the brewer, and then
to- dilute and doctor it into three
barrels for the popular stomach
What the internal structure OF an or
binary EnglIshman nay be, one
would not venture to guess. Not
only does he guzzle his beer, but he
has his wine whenever he can afford
it, and then he takes night cap OF
raw whissey or brandy before de-
parting to his nightly dreams, This
seems exaggerated, but it Is sober
fact. You 60 to the theatre, and be-
tween acts well attircd women i'll the
dress circle will take out a pocket
flask and refresh themselves with
| brandy or port You enter a rail
way carriage, and your yis-a-yis most
unblushingly takes her flask and
sucks her sherry before your eyes,
You are never invited out to dine,
or to an evening party, without hay-
| ing all the fiery furies thrust upon
you. Exceptions to this rule are
rare. the man who docs not drink
/ is voted a fanatic. There is no pub
/ Ii opinion IN favor of temperance,
as with us. Quite the coatrary.--
This is sufficiently evident from the
single fact over one hundred millions
OF pounds five bundled millions Of
dYllars are spent each year IN Eng
/ land for the fluid OF which saddens
| human life and inebrates the nation.
This is one OF the most violent con
tras between English life and our
own; this and its attendant poverty.
How little conscience or scruple eX-
Ists in this matter Of drinking here,
may appear from this inyariable Dab-
it of clergymen and ministers Of all
denomination to have wines and
spirits upon their tables; and your
correspondent has more than once
seen wine in more than one yestry
room after conference and other
weekday meetings for ref esEment
of the delegates and such as desired
freely to imbibe. Even the bishop
Of Manchester has, within few days
past, publicly confessed, last q 100

frcshes himselt after preaching With
