TIE MOST WONDERFUL DISCOVERY OF
l. THE 10TH CENTURY.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1873-01-16

Nor TO BE FooLED-In Philadelphia
there lives doctor so lean that the sobrique,
of"Old Bones," is far from being misno
mer.
This doctor has a student, who attends
within while the doctor is out. Among the
fixtures of the Office is wired skeleton, SC
hung and adjusted that it will walk out Of
the cupboard where it is kept and 60 through
several grotesque antics.
One day youthful peddler with basket
of knicknacks presented himself. When told
that nothing in his line was wanted, the lit
tie rascal began to "talk back" in a most i'm
pudent manner, and was finally ordered tc
leave the Office.
This he refused to do, and thinking to scare
him, the student pulled string, and open
flew the door where the skeleton was hidden
and that emblem of death sprang out at the
boy, who, frightened half out of his wits
dropped his basket and scampered out of the
office, taking up position on the opposite
side of the street to await further events.
Just then the doctor, "Old Bones," came
from his study, and learning the cause of the
uproar, went to the door and motioned to the
boy to come and get his wares. "No you
don't" he called out, II know you, if you
have got your clothes on

THE INSTINCT OF ANIMALS.

When the word animal is used, it is gener-
ally designed to include all living creatures
except the human family. Man is an ami
NAL, for the word simply means a creature
that breathes or lives by breathing. The an
imal kingdom, that is, all animals except man,
is characterized by what is commonly. called
instincts. 1t is somewhat difficult to give a
clear and concise definition Of the word in
stinct. This, however, is matter not much
to be regretted, since every one understands
its import. Without aiming at absolute cor
rectness, instinct may be defined to be that
natural endowment that has been conferred
upon all animals which enables them to make
provisions for the wants of their nature. The
instincts of man are few and generally very
weak. The infant instinctively sucks and
swallows. These are perhaps the only two
things that it can do without the aid of in
structors, unless we reckon crying as an in
stinctive act. On the other hand, the beasts
and birds and fish, do every thing that they
do from simple instinct. 1t is wonderful the
amount of sagacity which some species Of an.
imals exhibit Many of them are splendid
architects The little bee constructs recep-
tacle for its honey which is wonderful for its
beauty, strength and economy. No human
being, however wise, can build honey comb
from the same material which the bee builds
it. To build its nest the bird needs no in
struction. The first birds nest was as beauti-
full as the last one. The first bee hive did its
work just as perfect as the last one There
is no improvement in instinct The creatures
that are governed by instinct alone never
learn anything from experience. They are as
wise and learned when first brought into ex-
istence as at any other period of their lives.
Governed by instinct, the lower order of
animals select the proper kind Of food neces-
sary for their sustenauce, and guided by the
same instinct, they reject that which is inju-
rious. Tanning or domesticating animals
seems to weaken the power and blunt the
acuteness of the instincts. It is with great
difficulty that wild animal is poisoned, but
tame animals are often poisoned. Instinct in
animals raises them in the scale of creation
above the vegetable kingdom and brings them
in close proximity to man.

DIFFERENT VIEWS.


1t is wonderful how strange things appear
when viewed from different points. A city,
when seen from d point from which it has
never been seen before, does not seem to be the
same place. So great is the difference of ap-
pearance that one scarcely recognizes his na'
tive village. The same thing is true concern
ing men. When we see man from one
point of view, we may discover many things
to disapprove; but if we would only suspend
our judgment until we have all opportunity
to view the individual from other points, we
might discover many things worthy of COM
mendation. 1t is dangerous to jump to con-
clusions. We must see the whole Of man
before we either cast him off as an enemy or
select him as a friend. We ought to know
the whole of mans creed and all its ten
denotes before we approve it or condemn it.
Men often wranglc and quarrel about words,
whilst their principles and practices are iden-
tical. Some of the most injurious lawsuits
have been entered into simply because the
parties did not understand each other. One
party looked at the case from one point of
view, and the other party saw it from a diff
ferent point. The same thing is true in re-
gard to mems religious notions. One an
nounces his creed in one way, and another, who
believes the same thing, announces his creed
in another way, and the result is that each con-
cludes that the other is heterodox in creed
and sinful in practice. The only real differ
ence between the individuals is, that they are
accustomed to see the same thing from different
points of the compass If both would 60 to
the same place and take look at the object
about which they contend, the strife would
soon, in most cases, end.

HABITS.


HABITS.
The word habit is derived from the Latin
word habeo, which literally signifies, II do"
By habit is meant that state or condition Of
the mind or body, which results from frequent
repetition of the same act. It is strange what
| power there is in habit. Dispositions or states
of the mind, wholly acquired by frequent rep
etition, become so strong that nothing but
death can overcome them. We might in
stance the habits of eating opium, chewing
and smoking tobacco, drinking Intoxicating
spirits, not to mention many other habits
equally rs strong and pernicious. When a
habit is once formed, be it good or bad, it be-
comes part and parcel of the individual who
contracts it. 1t is kind of parasitical
growth like mistletoe, which can only be des-
troyed by killing the trunk to which it is at
tached. Many of the habits into which we,
inadvertently as it were, fall, are pecuniarily
expensive, physically injurious and morally
degrading The habit of getting drunk is
very expensive a whole years labor is often
spent in one spree. 1t is physically ruinous.
1t exposes the body to danger in thousands of
ways, and scarcely anything can exceed the
moral degradation of a human being prostra-
ted by drink. Such scene beggars descrip-
ton.
The most important feature about habits is
that they are all, or nearly all, formed at an
early period of our life. In the first part of
our lives we econtract habits; and in the latter
part, we suffer the penalties or enjoy the re-
wards which these habits confer upon us.
After we arrive at the age Of forty, we form
but few if any habits. Perhaps the habits
which are to determine our destiny for time
and eternity, are all contracted whilst we are
comparatively young.

has- This is what usually comes of playing
with edged tools: A fellow thought he would
be smart, and just have a little fun with a
young lady whom he had visited two or three
times. He asked her what she would do if a
nice-looking young fellow asked her to marry
her. She smiled 50 gushingly, and looked
we'll, good enough to eat, but said nothing.
Then he inquired what she would say if he
asked her to marry him.
She threw her arms round him, and rushed
out of the room for her hat and shawl, to 20
to the lawyer; and in two days after the poor
fellow said he was never married so suddenly
in his life. Probably that was the nearest
she ever came to being asked, and she thought
fooling around with sentiment would be dan.
