HABIT a SECOND NATURE.

Nothing scarcely, contains more
sound truth than the old sdage,
habit is q second nature, and yet,
/ it is generally considered, that habits
are nothing more than mato ropeti-
tons contracted by usage.
{ How often we hear somo ere
thoughtlessly say, that is only a
habit Yes, it is only hsbit, and
our whole life nigh, ha sand to be
only a habir, for our every action
aud word, almost ia The result of
habits.
We accustom ourselves to a thing
which at first seems entirely contra
ry to our natures, or unpleasant to
our tastes, but soon IL becomes en
durable, then desirable, and at last it
becomes instiled within IA, and is
part Of our nature. Tins il is that
men become tobacco chewors, or
visitors of the bar rooms and gamb-
ling saloons /, is by habit that
men become wicked or mean, for no
one is born in such condition. The
boy utters his first oath with Gmidi-
ty, and sting Of conscience, but
soon, by continual repetition, II be,
comes natural, and he speaks it out
boldly, and without any remorse
whatever. The same is true with
regard to falsehoods Sadly we see,
ALMOST every day We live, the results
of evil habits. Men, who 10 their
boyhood were pure and spoiIess, aud
perhaps the pride of their parents
and friends, we see now sunk down
to the lowest depths of degradation
and debauchery, by habits formed
when young. Youth is the period
in which characters are generally
formed, and as the tree leans in pro-
portion as the shrub was bent, so do
we in after life act, as we were ac~
customed to DO in childhood. How
attentive then should the youth be in
forming those habits which are TO
follow him down to the grave, and
which are to give him position 10
life, or to exclude him from its So
ciety altogether }. d, M.

A BEAsT-rAmERs FATE.

One of the most intrepid wild
beast tanners n Europe, Karolyi, a
Magyar of colossal stature and extra
ordinary ply steal strength, has re-
Gently fallen a victim to dread
contingency of his perilous profess
sion. He was performing before
crowded audience in Madrid the 9th
err day one Of his sensation feats,
which consisted in allowing a huge
boa constructor, over tweny feet in
length, to eniold his body in its tre-
meudous coils, when suddenly a
piercing cry escaped him, which was
greeted by the public with round
of applause, under the supposition
that his utterance constituted part
of the performances. 1t proved, how
ever, to be the outcome of strong
mans death agony. The gigantic
snake had frightened its coils and
crushed poor Karolyi's life out of
him with one terrific sqeeze. AS
his head fell back and his eyes be-
came fixed in a CLASSY stare the
plaudits died away, and we're sue
ceeded by the stiffness of utter con-
ssernation. The snake aud its life-
less victim swayed for second or
two of mex pressibIe horror and then
toppIed over on the boards of the
stage, but the boa did not 10 the least
relax his grip upon the corpse, which
remained for moro than an hour i'm
prisoned in its hiJeous thraldom, no.
body daring to approach the 1.-the
monster, of whose powers such APP
palling proof had been given, At
length it occurred to one OF karolyis
attendants to place bowl OF milk in
a cage within sight of the mighty
serpent, which slowly unwound itself
from the dead body and gided into
ito den, rresistibly tempted thereto
by ito favorite daioly. A post NOR
tenn examination of the unfortunate
athletes remains discovered no few
err than eighty seven features of his
bones effected by the construction of
the serpent's coils. His death must
