WASHINGTON, January 2l.-It is pretty
generally believed by members Of Con

dispose Of the fee system Of United State
Msrshals, clerks, and officers OF the United

ed one to the last House as the result OF
long investigation, and an effort was made
10 get il through by tacking it onto an
appropriation bill. Fortunately it was not
put on the proper bill-or maybe untortu-
aa,ely-and it was rejected By the Senate

Some OF the most enthusiastic support

Mistakes Of Life.

Somebody has condensed the mistakes
of life, and arrived at the conclusion
that there are fourteen of them. Most
people would say, if they tod the truth,
that there was no limit to the mistakes
Of life; that they were like the drops in
the ocean, or the sands of the shore in
number, but it is well to be accurate.
Here, then. are fourteen great mistakes.
sit is great mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and Judge
people accord ngly; to measure the en-
joyment of others by our own; to expect
uniformity Of opinion in this world; to
look for Judgment and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mould all dispo-
sitions alike; to yield to immaterial
trifes; to look for perfection in our own
actions; to worry ourselves and others
with what can not be remedied; not to
alleviate all that needs alienation as far
as lies in our power; not to make allow
ances for the inirmities of others; to
consider every thing impossible that we
can not perform; to believe only what
our finite minds can grasp; to expect to
be able to understand every thing

NATURES ECONOMY.
Wonderfully Displayed IN the Construe
., ton of the Human Frame.

Wonderfully Displayed IN the Construo'
ta- ton of the Human Frame.
We may see glimpses of the great sys
tenn of general regulation which guards
nature from overdrawing her accounts
in connection with the arrangement OF
living things. Not only in beings of
high degree, but in animals of low e.
tate, do we meet with illustrations OF
the economy of power and the saving
of needless expenditures Of force and
energy which dame nature practises.
The study of human anatomy, which,
of course, is one in many points with
the comparative science as applied to
lower life, reveals not few instructive
examples of this saving tendency in life's
ways. The human head, for example,
is nicely balanced on the spine. Com
pared with heads of lower type, this
equipose forms . prominent feature of
mans estate. The head mass of dog,
horse or elephant requires to be tied on,
as it were, to the spine. Ligaments
and muscular arrangements of complex
nature perform their part in securing
that the front extremity of these forms
should be safely adjusted But in man
there is an absence of effort apparent
in Natures ways of securing the desired
end. The erect posture, too, is adj
justed and arranged for on principles of
neat economy. The type of body is
the same as in lower life. Humanity
appears before us as modification, an
evolution; but in no sense new crea-
ton. Man rises from his ''forelegs'-
arms being identical, be it remarked,
with the anterior pair of limbs in lower
life-and speedily there ensues an
adaptation of means to ends, and all in
the direction of the economical CONVEX
sion of the lower to the higher type of
being. The head becomes balanced
and not secured. as we have seen, and
thus saving OF muscular power is en-.
tailed Adjustments of bones and
FONTS take place, and the muscles OF
one aspect say the front of the body,
counterbalance the action of those OF
the other aspect, the back; and between
the two diyerging tendencies the erect
position is maintan ned practically with
out effort. So also in the petty details
of the work nature has not been un-
mindful of her Saving clause" We
see this latter fact illustrated in the dis
position of the arrangements of foot
and heel. One may legitimately an
nounce that man owes much to his
head; but the truth is, he owes great
deal Of h mental comfort ant physical
economy to his heels. The heel bone
has become especially prominent in
man when compared with lower forms
of quadrupea life. 1t projects far be-
hind the mass of foot and leg, aad thus
forms stable fulcrunl of support
whereon the body may rest. Here,
again. economy of ways and means ia
illustrated. -Lonqnaan's Magazine.
