FLOEID.s TRAVEL.

The season in Florida has closed, and
the resorts of Northern travellers are
now deserted. The estimated amount Of
pleasure and health travel to that State
during the past Winter is estimated at
$4,000 persons, who are supposed to have
spent 100000 among the Floridians. 1t
is cheering to learn that the profitable
ness of Florida hotel keeping in the Win
ter season is attracting the attention Of @
class who know how to keep hotels, and
that the accommodations are likely to be
fuller and better next Winter. A new fea-
ture of the Florida travel this Winter has
been the large proportion of persons in
good health who have gone South for
pleasure, compared with those who have
gone for health. Until this year the in
valids have been in the majority, but it
was the other way during the past season.

Mr.. Charles Nordhoii is writing letters
on which the Chenango Telegraph gives the
following comment: "Our old friend Nord-

been there two weeks. Within few miles
of us reside a man and his wife, who lived
there ten years, and finally abandoned q
property worth $4,000 rather than further

constant dangerof assassination with which
they were surrounded. With all due re-

HARDENING THE CONSTITUTION.

Men talk about "hardening the constitu-
ton" and with that view. expose them
selves to summers suns and winters wind,
to strains and over efforts. and many un-
necessary hardships. To the same end,
Informed mothers souse their little infants
IN cold water day by day; their skin and
flesh and bodies are steadily growing
rougher and thinner, and weaker. until
slow fever, or water on the brain, or con-
sumption, carries them to the grave; and
then they administer to themselves the
semi-comfort and rather questionable con.
ISOLATION of its being mysterious dispon-
sation of nature. when, in fact, nature
works no miracle to couuteract our follies.
The best way We know of hardening the
constitution is to take good care of it;
for it is no more improved by harsh treat
ment than fine gnrncnt or new hat
is made better by being banged about.

TUE IRISH, MORALLY AND PuYSI.
CAIIY.

Interesting statistical reports have re-
Gently been published which bring into
comparison the different nationalities com-
posing the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland. In this the Irish APP
pear to n great advantage on two import
ant points-in respect to morality in the
relations between the two sexes. and in re-
spect to physical health and mortality
Scotland ID the best educated of the three
countries, England occupies the second
place in that respect, and Ireland the last.
But accorning to the reports for 1872,
Scotland has the greatest proportion of
illegitimate births, England less, but least
of all Ireland. Only two-ffths per cent.
of all the children born in ireland were
illegitimatc. The reputation of the
Irish as moral people is therefore well
founded.
The Irish. in spite Of the poverty of the
masses, seem to be the healthicst portion
of the people of the United Kingdom. In
England the proportion OF the deaths of
males under five years in 1872 WAS 4l.49
per cent, while in the same year in Ire
land it was 26.S2 per cent. OF those who
died during that year in ireland 3GS were
returned as persons over ninety-tiye years
of age. The number of deaths of males in
England during the same period was more
than five times us large us the total num-
of deaths in Ireland, but only lo5 were re-
turned as being ninety-tive years old and
upwards. This is pretty good showing
for the Irish people, and u strong testi-
mOnY iu their favor.

CURIOUS VEGETABLE LIFE.

There are many curious facts about
vegetable life. We can, for example, graft
the apricot on the plum, and the peach on
the apricot, and the almond on the peach,
and thus we may produce IL tree with
plum-roots and almond leaves. The wood
however of the stem will consist of four
distinct varieties, though formed from
one continuous layer. Below the almond
wood and bark we shall have perfect peach
wood and bark, then perfect apricot wood
and bark, and at the bottom plum-wood
and bark. In this curious instance we SEQ
the intimate correspondence between the
bark and the leaf, for if we should remove
the almond branches we might cause the
several sorts Of wood to develop buds and
leafy twigs each of its own kind. Each
section of the compound stem has it's seat
Of life in the cambium layer, and the cam
blum of each rcproluc,s cells of its own
species ont of common nutrient fluid.
