Health and Talent.

II isno exaggeration to say that health
is large ingredient in what the world
calls talent. A man without it may be
a giant i'm intellect, but his deeds will
be the deeds of dwarf. On the con-
trary, let him have a quick circulation.
a good digestion, the bulk, thews and
sinews of man and the alacrity, the
unthinking confidence inspired by these
and, though having but thimbleful of
brains, he will either blunder upon sue
cess or set failure at defiance. 1t is true,
especially in this country, that the num-
Der of centaurs in every community-Of
men in whom heroic intellects are allied
with bodily constitution as tough as
those of horses-is small; that, in gen.
eral, a man has reason to think himself
well off i'm the lottery of life if he draw
the prize of healthy stomach without
mind, or the prize of fine intellect
with crazy stomach. But of the two,
a weak mind, in Herculean frame is
better than giant mind in crazy con-
stitution.
A pound of energy, with an ounce of
talent, will achieve a greater result than
pound of talent with an ounce of
energy. The first requisite to success in
life is TO be a good animal. In any OF
the learned professions vigorous con-
stitution is equal to at leart fifty per cent.
more brain. Wit, judgment, imagina-
ton, all the qualities ofthe mind, attain
thereby force and splendor to which
they could never approach without it.
But intellect i'm weak body is ''like
gold in a spent swimmers pocket" A
mechanic may have tools of the sharpest
edge and highest polish; but what are
these without vigorous arm and
hand? OF what use is it that your mind
has become a vast granary of know
ledge if you have not strength to turn
the key?

Uses Of Grapes.

Men can live and work on grapes and
bread. The peasantry of France, Spain
and Italy make many satisfying meal
in this way, and the wholesOmeness OF
the diet there can be no donbt of. Med
ical men constantly recommend the use
of grapes for their patients.
Scarcely any plant can equal the vine
as regards the beauty of its leaves and
fruit. As covering for bare walls and
for affording shelter and shade, it is a
climber of the first rank. To sit under
ones own vine has i'm all ages been con-
sidered the acme of rural happiness-an
emblem of peace, a symbol of plenty,
and a picture of contentment. That
pleasure, though perhaps not in all its
fullness, may become the heritage of
thousands in these temperate climes.
Neither our latitude, nor leaden skies,
nor erratic climate forbid the growth
Of the grape vine throughout the larger
portion of the kingdom. In many dis
tricts its fruits will ripen more or less
perfectly. In almost all it would ripen
sufficiently to be useful for eating or
wine making. Even green grapes are
useful for conversion into vinegar, for
making tarts. or for wine. Ripe grapes
are universally esteemed. No one tires
of them. If any decline 10 eat their
own grapes, or grow more than they
need for home consumption, there is a
ready market in most neighborhoods
for grapes at from four-pence to a shil-
ling a pound, according TO quality.
Thus hourisbing vine on the gable
end or front of cottages might make OF
save the rent many times over. know
many cottage gardens in which the
vine or vines are not only ornaments
but the main source of profit. These
might be multiplied up and down the
country to infinity.-London Garden.

They formed small, crooked tubes ris-
ing to the height of several hundred
feet. April 2s. 1859. a whirlwind 30 feet
in diameter was observed turning a.
gainst the hands of q watch. On one
occasion newspaper was caught up by
a whirlwind to a height of about 200
feet, and there oscillated back and
fourth across the track for some time
while accompanying the onward move
ment of the column. Another day two
whirlwinds, within 80 yards of each
other were turning in opposite direc-
tiOns. June 5.a whirlwind about Is feet
in diameter crossed stream of water
without any apparent loss of force.
Again. whirlwind was observed to
pass through a battery of artillery of
brass guns, from one flank to the other
with no evidence of being affected by
the adventure. June 10, a whirlwind
was remarked that had several small
whirls spinning around on its circum-
ference. The whole together described
a circnit about 100 wards across. These
phenomena occurred at height of be-
tween 1000 and 5000 feet above the sea
where the dry atmosphere contained
little vapor to interfere with the action
of electricity.

The Fate or Rare Birds.

One Of the most tantalizing accidents
which can happen to an ornithologist i
when rare bird is eaten BY its captor
through ignorance of its value. Often
times this must occur, In out-of-the-way
districts, where all wild-fowl shot dur
ing Winter are indiscriminately called
ducks, and at once consigned to the cook.
We lately heard of case in point. The
Governor of one of England's smaller de-
Tendencies invited his Secretary, an ar
dent ornithOlogist, TO dinner. After the
game had been discussed, the latter
casually asked a few questions on the
birds he had just eaten, and was told by
the Governor that he did not know what
they were, but some Of their feathers
had been preserved. The poor Secre-
tary was broken hearted on inspecting
these. He had actually helped to eat
three of Pallas' sand grouse, for which
he would willingly have given half his
substance in order to add them to his
collection. The fate of rare birds is at
times even more sad than this Dwellers
i'm the midland counties must often have
listened with pleasure during the short
nights of June to the monotonous croak-
ing of the landrail from the uncut hay
beyond the garden. This bird is very
local. and is shot as a dainty morsel
whenever tits seen. Luckily like Words
worth's cuckoo, it has the nature more
Of "a wandering voice" than bird, and
for the most part easily escapes its pur-
suers when il is heard in an unusual
locality. The only nightingale which
we have ever known to appear in Devon
was not so fortunate. 1t was seen dur
ing the Summer of 1860 in the neighbor-
hood of ExmOuth, but was pelted to
death by the idle boys of the vicinity,
much as the Bacchantes of old tore Or
pheus to pieces. To know the common
birds Of district and TO become familiar
with their migrations, changes ofplum-
age, the reasons of their abundance or
scarcity in particular seasons. and the
like, is more rational and satisfactory
method of studying ornithology than
simply to hunt after rare specimens 1t
does not fall to every ones lot to secure
so rare bird as once happened to a
friend whowas shooting along the north
west coast of Caithness. The day was
bitterly cold and the snow falling fast
when he winged a wild duck and sud-
denly beheld what seemed an animated
mass of snow-hakes swoop down upon
and carry it off before his eyes. The
second barrel was fired and brought
down a fine specimen of the snowy owl
(Surnia Rgcted,) still clinging to the duck.
The two were stuffed and set up together,
forming an interesting memento of a
curious episode in an ordinary days
shOoting.-CorRhiH Magazine.

Love.

The love that survives the tomb (says
Irving) is the noblest attribute Of the
soul. IL ii has woes, it has likewise its
delights; and when the Overwhelming
burst of grief is lulled into the gentle
tear of recollection, then the sudden
anguish and ccnvuisive agony over the
present ruins of all We most loved and
softened away into pensiye meditations
of all that was in the days Of its lowell
ness. Who would root such q sorrow
from the heart? Though it may some
times throw a passing cloud over the
bright hour of gayety, or spread a
deeper sadness over the hours of gloom,
yet who would exchange it for the song
of pleasure or the burst OF revelry
No; there is voice from the tomb
sweeter than song; there is remem-
brance Of the dead TO which we turn
even from the charm of the living.

church down the mountain, and it is not
opened every Sunday, nor yet every
feast day. The village Is not Of much
size or importance, having neither priest
nor siadocs of its own. But it is COM
mon to the neighborhood that hamlets
should be strewn over the land, miles
away, sometimes, from the church and
the authorities. San Fedele Is not worse
OFF than others; indeed the possession
of an oratory, with saint and relics, is
rather an unusual honor, and if the
chapel Is rarely opened, it has at all
events ''piazetta" with stone benches,
where those may congregate for an eve-
ming chat who have not had time to re-
lax themselves by trip to the larger
village in the afternoon. Italians love

them abroad their character-so little
truly deserved-for curbless passion and
vindictively cruel propensities. They
are kindly people enough in their mu-
tual relations, and formed, indeed, by
their very nature for warm, social life,
they have need of a certain amount of
free neighborly Intercourse, such as a
quiet and colder temperament can
scarcely understand; and hence it is
that the life of an Italian community Is
to be learned in its open thoroughfares
rather than Its individual homes. as in
the comparative secretive life of nor

Cooks aud Cookery

The culinary art is as old as the hu-
man race. An early proof of the pro-
gress of the ancients in this particular
Is shown in the anecdote of the King OF
Bithynia, who, during an expedition
against the Sythians, was seized with a
violent longing for small fish called
Apply. His cook cut turnip into the
exact shape of the fish, fried it i'm oil,
salted, and powdered it with the grains
of dozen black poppies, and served it
before the king. As luxury and refine
ment spread from Asia into Europe, q
fasaidious taste in eating arose among
the Greeks, and with them all the re-
sources of the cook were called into
requisition. Cooks were hired or pur-
chased at enormous prices, those from
Sicily being particularly valued for their
great skill. At Athens the chief cook
not only inquired the number but the
quality of his guests, that he might adapt
the dishes to their various tastes.
Cooks have on various occasions been
handsomely rewarded by monarchs for
their skill in preparing various dishes.
Marc Antony presented cook with the
house of Roman citizen. William the
Conqucror granted the manor of Ad-
dington to Tezlin, his cook, because he
had prepared a dish of white soup which
especially pleased the royal palate.
Henry VIII raised a servant to consider
able dignity because he had taken care
TO have a roasted boar prepared for his
Majesty when Henry happened to be in
the humor of feasting on one.
Many contests have taken place among
cooks in which they have endeavored to
outdo each other in the variety and cost
illness of their dishes. Cookery as a
science has employed the talents of Lord
Bacon, Drs. Hunter, Kitchener, Count
Rumford, and many distinguished men
of France. NJ. Talleyrand, the Marquis
de Cussy, NJ. Brillat-Savarin, and others
have treated of it at length. They in
vented several dishes, many Of which
have since become famous. Upon the
subject of cookery the celebrated chief,
Louis Eustache Ude, says:
s'What science demands more study
than cookery? Every man is not born
with the qualifications necessary to con-
stitute a good cook. We see daily at
concerts and academies, young men and
women who display the greatest abili-
ties; but in our line, nothing but the
most cOnsummate experience can elevate
man to the rank of chief professor.
Cookery is an art appreciated by only a
very few individuals, and which re-
quires, in addition to most diligent and
studious application, no small share of
intellect and the strictest sObriety and
punctuality there are cooks, and cooks
as there are painters; the difficulty lies
in finding the perfect one; and l dare
assert, that the nobleman who has in his
service thorough good one, ought to be
as proud of the acquisition as of possess
ing in his gallery a genuine production
of the pencil of Rubens, Raphael, or
Titian'

Robert Gilmore was arrested for the
murder of Isaac Askew, and at the first
session Of the County Court was con-
victed and sentenced to death.
The evidencewas circumstantial, but
no doubt existed as to his guilt. He
confessed that he had moulded the mug

fired from gun into the earth, yet died
protesting his innocence of the murder.
A few days after the execution, a
body was found lodged in some bushes
that lined the San Leandro Creek, a
short distance from Gilmore's Ranch,
and was identified as that of the missing
miner.
Years after this occurrence, woman
laid on dying bed in Stockton, and

murder of the miner, whose assassin
was brought to punishment by means

Young in strange places, but the fol-
lowing facts seem to me most extraor-

Northwestern Railway, had constantly
noticed q rabbit passing to and fro on

where it came from, he examined
the locality, and discovered beneath a
railway sleeper a nest of four young
rabbits. He afterwards discovered
that whenever the parent rabbit left
her young she carefully closed the ap-
erture with sand and small stones.
During the day some dozens Of trains,
