A WONDERFUL discovery hay recently been é made by Dr. Curtis of this city, in ihe treat- ment of Consumption, Asthma, and all diseases of the Lungs. We refer to DR CURTIS’S HYGE ANA. OR INHALING HYGEAN VAPOR AND CHERRY SYRUP.” With this new method, Dr. C. has restored many afflicted ones to health, as an evidence of which he has innumerable certificates Speaking of the treatment, a physician remarks, “It is evident that ichaling—constantly breathing an agreeable, healicg vapor—the medicinal properties must come in direct contact with the whole erial cavitie of the lungs, and thus escape the many and veried changes produced upon them when intro duced into the stomach, and subject to the process of digestion” The Hygena is for sale at all the Druggist’s throughuut the eountry.— N.

Prof. 8. Carrer writes us as follows: Gentlemen—I have recently had occasion to test your Cherry Syrup and Hygean Vapor, in a case of chronie sore throat, that had refused to yield to oth- er forms of treatment, and the result has satisfied me that, whatever may be the composition of your preparation, it is no imposition, but an excelient remedy. I wish, for the sake of the afilicted, that it might be brought within the reach of all. Dr Jouns, one of the most celebrated Physicians in New York writes as follows: fr. Coxtis—Dear Sir—Having witnessed the ex- cetient effects of your Hygeana or inhaling Hygean Vepor and Cherry Syrup, in case of Chronic Bron- chitis, and being much in favor of counter irritation in affections of the throat, Bronchial here ‘ can therefore cheerfully recommend your Medi- cated Apparatus as being the most convenient and effuctual mode Fag ing an ng of the kind [ have everseen.

We have, usually, one or two rooms | that are merely for show; a parlor, per- haps two, with folding doors between, that are only open for company, that are too nice for children to play in, too large to be warmed readily in winter; in short, like a dandy, tov nice for anything use- ful. And then, often, there is a part of the house unfinished, a large attic which might accommodate a whole family, oc- cupied now by a few old boxes of white beans, and a few buaches of catnip and pennyroyal, and some broken chairs and acradie. This upper story was proba- bly put on because you wanted a house as large as your neighbors. Now a house should, in some measure, fit a fam- ily, as a suit of clothes should fit an in- dividual. Although it is not, perhaps, always safe to count your children before they are born, and therefore the capacity of your house must often be by estima- tion, yet everywhere are houses geing up, with the perfect understanding that a considerable ele ot the room is to be useless, either kept for an annual party, or to remain unfinished. If we who plan and build such houses, would re- flect upon it fairly, we should see that no rational man would entertain for us any more respect for living in a house which we do not fill, than for wearing a suit of clothes made for a person of twice our size Let us have ‘a little house well filled,” with no spare room except a chamber for our friends, and no lumber room of a garret for ghosts, rats, and mice to in- habit. ‘The thousand dollars which even careful men generally expend in build- ing ‘“‘a house to live in,” merely to con- form to fashion, or an architectural whim, costs the poor wife and children many a lecture upon penny economy, which might otherwise have been spared. And when you have built or purchased a house too large for your wants, the evil has but commenced. Your large and numerous rooms require large and nu- merous carpets, and curtains, and sofas, |) and other adornings. But this is not :all, nor the worst of it. The house and the furniture must be taken off—swept and dusted daily, and scrubbed and : scoured Spring and Fall, when house- cleaning time comes round. . You must either pay for help to do all this, or what is perhaps more common, allow addition- rdens to fall on your wife, who has already a ceaseless round of cares. A Sensitive or even a just man should see that, in this land, where servants are an expensive lurury, at best, his wife have comfort and leisure, and a selfish man may soon learn that he cannot lead a peaceful “and happy life with a woman who is overrun with hard work and fam- ily cares. We think if our reader him- ulars named, he may fiad plenty of his neighbors to whom our remarks will apply. . And then, again, we are extravagant in our household furniture. The ladies must come in for a share of our iecture on this topic. The furniture of a house is mainly for use and comfort. Carpets and sofas and tables and chairs are chiefly designed to promote warmth and quiet and physical enjoyment in some way. A carpeted floor is warmer in win ter, and the children make less disturb- ance on it than bare boards; and besides, they require much less labor to keep them in nice order. Let comfort then be regarded, principally in selecting furni- ture. . . But a nice perception of the fitness o! things which is good taste—the faculty of producing harmony between the occu- pants of the house and the house itself, and between the house and the furniture and surroundiags—this is what you do not buy at the upholsterers, this is be- yond price, and a matter, madam, in which it is your province to excel. Let the furniture, say, as plain things can speak, this house is for the comfort of those who live inside of it and not for mere callers and strangers. ‘This carpet is not too good for the children to roll on, this arm chair will not be soiled by being occupied, and the bright sun-light may visit the inmates in the morning, bringing health and cheerfulness, with- out fear that it will fade the brilliant colors of the silk and velvet. If, when your house is built, and furnished, you have money to spare for articles of mere taste and luxury, the world is full of books and pictures, and a thousand other things, which will afford to a refined and cultivated ‘mind far mere rational enjoyment than a whole ware-house of gilded mahogany. On the whole, we think the ambition which is common among all classes, to live in large houses, elegantly furnished, is leading us daily into embarrassments and discomforts, which as a thoughtful rational people, we ought not longer to suffer. CHANGES OF CLIMATE. History informs us that many of the countries of Europe which now possess very mild winters, at one time expe- rienced severe cold during this season of the year. The ‘Liber at Rome was often frozen over, and snow at one time lay for forty days in that city. The Euxine Sea was frozen over every winter during the time of Ovid, and the rivers Rhine and Rhone used to be frozen so deep that the ice sustained loaded . The waters of the Tiber, Rhine and Rhone, now flow freely every winter ; ice is un- known in Rome, and the waves of the Euxine dash their wintry foam uncrys- talized upon the rocks. “Some one has ascribed these climate — to agri- culture; the cutting down of dense for- ests, the ure of the upturned soil to the summer's sun, and the draining of great marshes.

Greenland received its name from the emerald herbage which once clothed its valleysand mountains ; and its east coast, which is now inaccessible, on account of perpetual ice hea upon its shores, was. in the eleventh century, the seat of flourishing Scandinavian colonies, all trace of which is now lost. Cold Labra- dor was named Vinland by the North- men who visited it A. D. 1.000, and were charmed with its then mild climate. The cause of these changes is an im- portant inquiry. A pamphlet, by John Murray, civil engineer, has recently been published in London, in which he endea- vors to attribute these changes of the cli- mate to the changable position of the magnetic poles. The magnetic variation or declination of the needle is well known. At the present time it amounts in Lon- don to twenty-eight di e8 west north, while in 1658, the line of variation passed through England, and then moved grad- ually west until 1816. In that year a great removal of ice took place on the coast of Greenland ; hence it is inferred that the cold meridian now passes through Italy, and that if the magnetic meridi n returns, as it is now doing, to 1s old lines in Europe, Rome may once more see her Tiber frozen over, and the werry Rhinelander drive his team on the ice of his classic river. Whether the changes of the climate mentioned have been caused by the change of the mag- netic meridian or not, we have too few facts before us at present to decide con- clusively; but the idea, once spread abroad, will soon lead to such investiga- tion no doubt remove every ob- “ooo the question.—Scien- tific - CAPTAIN JOB. Captain Job was what is vulgarly known as a “‘ pig-headed man ;” nay, he was not only pig-headed, but exceeding- ly passjghate. The original Job was ail s, but our specimen boils all | a With rage—at least twenty-four ‘mes in every twenty-four hours. It could scarcely be said with propriet that his education had been maghonted. for he had received none to neglect. He could neither read nor could he write ; and what would have been very singular in any other less singular being, he was singularly proud of the want of knowl- edge, usually deemed of such importance. Job considered it as a proof of his exceed- ing cleverness that he had got on so well in the world, despite his defivicucics. As he bad many commissions to perform in the city, and also sold there, for account of whom it might concern, vast quanti- ues of poultry and country meats, moun- tains of oysters and clams, and great loads of hay and grain, it became neces- sary for him to keep some account of his various transactions; and accordingly he employed a system of hieroglyphics peculiarly his own, which, however, would have puzzled Champollion him- self. Dollars he designated by a large cipher, shillings by smaller ones, and the copper medallions of the Goddess of Liberty figured only as so many marks. His customers were represented b: some leading characteristic, mental, physical, or professional. A saw stood ior his friend the carpenter, a most em- phatic nose for one of his customers—a second Naso—and something like a clenched first was supposed to represent @ particularly pugnacious individual who deal. in clams. ‘The articles that he had bought or sold were entered in a like manner, and when Mary was at home to take down his rude accounts in @ more every-day man- ner, while they were yet fresh in his mind, all went well enough; but if she happened to be absent on his return, and the transactions of another voyage had driven those of the previous out of his head, sometimes ludicrous blunders would eccur. A man was once charged by him with the purchase of a couple of hoes and a rake, which he stoutly denied, and Job's litigious spirit would have soon involved the affair in the entanglements of the law, if the creditor's wife had not suggested that she had received two pipes and a loag comb about the time, and that these might possibly be the ar- ticles charged. $0 it proved to be, and Job. for once in his life, was forced to submit. Angcpote OF CHaNceLion Kenr.— The late Chancellor Kent was one of those men whose innate dignity enabled him to take in good part familiarity— the result of ignorance and accident. He was exceedingly fond of martial mu- sic; and hearing the drumsof a recruit- ing party who taken a station at the corner of the street beat a point of war, he walked out to listen to it nearer. In- sensibly he was whistling the burden of the tune, when the man of war accosted “You are fond of such music then, my fine T sell woes “Yes,” wag 5 “Well, then,” mf Sergeant Kite, “‘why not joinus?
