decrepitude Of thousand anxious hours

of Intellect the eternal glory Of this man
is that he used all the mind he had in
patient endeavors to fud out tile right
way, ever on tho watch TO keep out Of
his decision everything like bias or pre-
judice; never deciding till he had OK
haustcd every source Of elucidation
within his reach. Some questions he
| could not decide with his own mind. and
he knew he could not. In such cases
he bent all his powers to ascsrtaining
how the subject appeared to minds fitted
to grapple with it, and getting them to
view 1t without prejudice.

dowed, not sufficient unto himself, uol
indifferent to human rights, opinions aud

Of help, sought it where it alone was to
be found, in miadsafissed by nature and

BEAUTY OF Form DEPENDENT ON Sun.
LrGHT.-The correspondence between pert
lection of forms and heighnening O.
luminous intensity groves true in the hu-
man race as in others. K,thetics, agreet
ing with ethnography, demonstrate thas
light tends to develop the different part
OF the body in true and harmonious pro
portion. Humboldt, that nice observer
says, speaking of the Chaymas: The
men and women have very muscular bodies
but plump with rounded forms. 1t is need
less to add that have never seen a single
one with any natural deformity. | will
say the same Of so many thousands of Ca.
ribs, Muycas, Mexican and Peruvian ln.
dians, whom we have observed during five
years. These bodily deformites and mis-
growths are extremely rare in certain
races of men. especially among people who
have deep-colored skin" No doubt there
is great d ffi:u'ty in conceiving how ligh,
can model-can exert plastic power. Yet
rejecting on its tonic effect on the outer
tegument, and its general influence over
the functions, We may assign it the part o.
distributing the vital movement orderly
and harmoniousIy throughout the whole
of the organs. Men who live naked are
in perpetual bath of light. None of the
parts of their bodies Withdrawn from tht
vivifyiug action of solar radiation. Thence
follows an equilibrium which secures regu
larity in function and Development

How HUBER DISCOVERED TUE MARAUDING
HABIT OF ANrs.-He was walking in the
envlrons Of Geneva, between and 5
o'clock in the evening, when he saw a
regiment of great red ants crossing the
road. They marched in good order, with
a front of three or four inches, and in a
column eight or ten feet long. Huber fol-
lowed them, crossed hedge with them.
and found himself in meadow. The
high grass plainly hindered the march of
the army, yet it did not disband it had
its object, and reached it. This was the
nest OF another species of ants, blackish-
gray ones, whose hill rose in the grass 20
steps from the hedge. A few blacklist
gray ones were scattered about the hill ;
as soon as these perceived the enemy, they
darted upon the strangers, while others
hurry into the galleries to give the alarm.
The beseiged ants come out in a body.
The assailants dash upon them, and, after
a very short but very spirited struggles
drive the black-gray ones back to the bot
tom of their holes. One army corps
passes after them.into the galleries. while
other groups labor to make themselves an
opening, with their teeth, into the lateral
parts of the hill! They succeed, and the
remainder of the troop makes its way into
the beseiged city by the breach. Peter
Huber had seen battles and determinations
OF ants before this; he supposed they were
slaughterng each other In the depths OF
the caverns. What was his amazement
after three or four minutes, when he saw
the assaiIants issue hurriedIy forth again

The aggressors took exactly the same road
