Aneodote Of Lord Byron.

Those who have heard anything of
the personal characteristics of Lord By
ron have heard of his extreme sensitive
ness regarding his personal appearance.
The slight defect of one of his feet was
a source of lifelong and painful annoy
ance. Personal cleanliness, even to the
very minutest particulars, he regarded
as a prime necessity. A speck of dirt
under a mans finger nail was. in his es-
timation, abominable; at all events, he
would not give his hand to such. 1t is
related OF the poet that once upon a
time some one informed him that Wal
ter Savage Landor intended to intro
duce him satirically into a new Imag-
mary Conversation, "-"If he does, !"
said Byron, 81 will certainly call him
out; and you can tell him so.'"-When
Landor heard this, he replied: -" Well,
1 had really no intention of showing up
his lordship in a" Conversation" but
now will. You may tell him that,
though he prides himself upon being a
good shot, 1 am a better. 1 will not
kill him, but 1 will either shoot off his
nose or an ear. will be sure to do it,
and 1 will do it too without harming an
other feature" This was told to Byron,
and it silenced him; for, though no
man feared death less, he had horror
of mutilation of his handsome face
which was more than mortal.

THE CHILD's BATH.-There is one i'm
portant point which is the question of
the day with mother and nurse, and
that is the morning bath. Let the
room be well warmed before the child
is taken out of bed, and let those who
think cold bath an absolute necessity
remember that, on q summer morning,
their children enjoy it; and if they keep
the temperature of the water the same
all the year round, that is, about'55 or
go degrees, they may obtain all the ben
eft possible. Let them think how un-
reasonable it is to take water not much
above freezing point, and attack the
nervous system, already depressed, by a
shock which is followed by a reaction
which requires the whole morning to
recover from. We have no hesitation in
recommending a warm bath, early in
the day, followed by a simple douche of
cold water. as far preferable to the cold
bath; or O warm bath at night, for the
sake of cleanliness, and none at all in
the morning. 1t may be taken as a rule
that, in the case of children, sudden
changes Of temperature are dangerous,
and that So to 60 degrees may be taken
as the safe average temperature in
which they should be constantly kept

snsltins Among The Indian.

The American Indian method oi
smelling precious metals was one Of the
most remarkable devices Of savage in
Renuity. Logan tells us that, havir z
first Followed out a fat stone in tie
form OF basin, they filed Il With char
coal, and upon this laid the nuggets Of
metal. A number Of Indians next sat
ell themselves in q circle around the
basin. each one having in his hands a
long reed pierced through it. entire
length and armed at one end with a
clay tube or pipe. Every thing being
ready. fire was applied 10 the charcoal,
and the whole mass instantly blown in
to a powerful heat. through the reeds,
the clay extremitles Of which were in
serted in the basin. while the Indians
blew through them upon the charcoal
with all their might, and with protract-
ed expiration. No ordinary lump Of
either gold or copper could long main
tain its solidity in such a crucible.
With this process the Indians could
easily produce any variety Of oanament
from those metals, using them either
alone or in alloy. This method was
known to have been in use among the
Indians who lived upon the gold-pro-
ducing lands of North Carolina, and
the same process must have been known
to the Cherokees. These chronicles
and traditions go to confirm what Law
son says, that the Indians, from time
immemorial, were acquainted with val
liable mines of gold and silver in
North Carolina.

AJEsr.-A jest may cut deeper than a
curse. Some men are so constituted
that they cannot take friendly joke in
the same light coin, and will requite it
with contumely and insult. Never ban
ter one of this class, or he will brood over
your bandinage long afterSou have for
gotten it, and it is not prudent to incur
any enmity for the sake of uttering q
smart double sntendrs or tart repartee.
Ridicule, at best, is a terrible weapon.
Satire, however, when leveled at social
foibles and political evils, has shamed
down more abuses than were ever abol-
ished by force or logic.
