FITZHUGH Sol was an honest, clever man [In all his intercourse with his friends and neighbors he would do what he conceived to be right and honest Unfortunately, however, he was not gifted with the mental power in an extraor- dinary manner. Sol was a member of the Methodist Church, and in his neighborhood there was a small school-house in which the Methodists held their different kinds of meet- ings, as class-meetings, prayer-meetings, &. Over the class of the members in that neigh borhood was placed a man who was a kind of religicus tyrant, who would enforce with a Shylock strictness the rules of his church. According to Sol’s account of the matter he held meetings three times a week ; and if the members failed to attend each meeting he would arraign them. and solemnly threaten to exfoliate them. He endeavored, by this means, to keep his flock together. But we will now let Sol tell, in his own way, how the Deacon’s strict rules operated on him and family : ‘“‘While we had meetings once a week,” said Sol,‘*I was happy, and Sally she was happy, and mychildren they was happy ; and [ loved Sally, and Sally loved me. But then Deacon F., he must have meetin’ three times aweek. I told him it was too often; he said it wasn’t, and that [ should come, and my wife and daughter they should come. So he interfered in my family, and told them they must come whether I wanted them or not; they went. Now it was too bad for a poor man like me to go to meetin’ three times a week. When we had meetin’s once a week my leather cost me three dollars a year, but when it was three times a week it cost me four dollars forty-seven cents and one-fourth' For my family wore out their shoes runnin’ to meetin’. A poor man can’t stand it. It’s not right for a man to interfere in another's family. It used to be they would de what I wanted them, but now they won't listen to me. “And the other day when I came home, don’t you believe Saily turned her back to me and wouldn't notice me! Oh! it nearly killed me, for I loved Sally. Now, whena stranger comes, and Sally cooks meat for sup- per, my children, from the littlest to the big- gest, will just pick up their forks and sock | them right into a piece of meat; and before the Deacon interfered in my family, they'd eat their mush and milk and goto bed. And | in the mornin’, when Sally cooks biscuit they'll, the first thing, snatch a biscuit in- THE WEEELY STAR.

Ina recently published work by Professor P. H Goase, we find the follow- ing as ee the manner in which © poor little hermit ¢: en se rab is sponged out of “A singular little creature, called the Her- mit Crab (pagwrus,) the hinder part of whose body is unprotected, except by a soft skin, is endgwed with an instinct which pts it to ceforth using it as a house. Species of sponge found on our coast (H. suberea,) of & cork substance, which grows on the surface ot similar shells, cverspreading and enveloping them; and it so happens that in the great majority of in- stances the § is found upon the individ- ual shelis inhabited by the Hermit. Grad- ually and insensibly the sponge grow er “the shell, and at length creeps round th of the lip, and begins to line the inside cvustant motion of the crab, who is very ac- tive, retards the growth for awhile, but event- ually the Sponge prevails, and the Hermit finding his premises becoming every day more and wore contracted, is at length compelled to seek another lodging.” Mr. Gosse says it is a remarkable charac- teristic of all the little water fleas which we see in every salt water pool, that they have but a single eye, which is generally of a ne crimson hue, sparkling like a little ruby, and is set in front of the head. Of the shark s nursery, Mr. Gosse says : “The mode by which the race of these for- midable creatures is continued, differing as it does so greatly from that of most other fishes, is exceedingly curious. The shark, instead of depositing some millions of eggs in a sea- son, like the cod or the herring, produces two eggs of a square or oblong form, the coat of which is composed of a tough horny sub- stance; each corner is prolonged into a ten- dril, of which the two which are next the tail of the enclosed fish are stronger and more prehensile than the other pair. The use of these tendrils appears to be their entangle- ment among the stalks of seaweeds, and the consequent mooring of the egg in a situation of protection and comparative security. Near the head there is aslitin the egg skin, through which the water enters for respiration, and another at the a Sore extremity by which it is discharged hat part of the skin which is stead of eatin’ corm-bread as they use to do And now I’m about out of wheat, when, i the fall I counted up and had plenty for breakfast the year round; and this is ail, *cause he interfered in my family. Now, | wasn’t that enough to make anybody lose his religion? And that’s not all «The other mornin’ I catched a turkey, and | was goin’ to bring itto townto buy some. coffee, and don’t you believe Sally screamed | out, ‘Put down that turkey; you'll have | everything on the place destroyed!’ Incourse, | I drapped it like a hot tater, ‘cause I loved | Sally. What wasI to do for coffee? Well, I put the bridle on old Rosum, and gota bushel of corn to come to town with; and Sally j come out and saw Rosum and the corn, and | hollored, ‘ What you goin’ todo?’ [told her | softly as I could, that I was goin’ to town to i got some coffee, and don’t you think Sally | made me hitch up Rosum, and said she was | goin’ herself, so she was! And I hitched up i Rosum, ’cause I loved Sally. But I thought | I’d kinder check her, so I pulls off my pants | and hands em to Sally, and told her she had better wear them. And my stars! if Sally didn’t take em and put ’em on! “Now what was I todo? Them was my over-alls, under-alls,andin-alls, Well, Sally | brought me an old, slim red striped linsey | dress—cuss the old thing—I can just see her | now shakin’ it at me had to put it on | And I had’nt mor'n gotit on, till I sees a! neighbor comin’. What must I do, thinks I | to myself. I run and jumpted into bed, and | begun to groan awful. Ile comes and says, | ‘Not well, Sol?’ ‘No,’ says I, ‘neighbor, ! not well.’ Mylittleimps of childer was settin’ round sniggerin and laughin’, and presently Bill say, ‘ Mam’s coat makes dad groan pow- erful!’ I jumped up—and who would’nt ‘— to whip Bill, before I thought. Neighbor} jumped up and stared at me, and no wonder, cause my coat hung right down, and didn’t | touch the floor by a toot and a half. I was a‘ sight, I tell you. And this was all ‘cause he | interfered in my family. Well, neighbor kin der compromised “tween me and Sally, and I | got my pants, but I guess I slept with them on for the next six months! “Well, Sally come onto town and got the | coffee, and what do you think she told the ; storekeeper? Why, not to credit me! I} come to town after a few days, and wanted to * buy some goods, and the storekeepers said | they reckoned 1 was broke, as my wife told | em not tocredit me. Thunderation, couldn’t Ta squashed her! I could’dt stand it any ! longer, I cut for aforrin country—and this | was all ‘cause he interfered in my family. ButI guess [ had’nt been gone long ’fore Sally writ to me, and said she loved me harder than ever she did. So I come home, and Sally did love me as she use to did, and I love Sally, and the childer they loved me and [I loved | them, and they eat their mush and corn bread, | and don’t wear out but three dollars worth of leather a year—and this is all ‘cause there’s no meetin’ three times a week, and nobody interferes in my family.’’—Spirit of the Times. CuiLpism Sincerity —A lady who was in the habit of dropping in at her neighbor's about meal time, in the hope of obtaining an invitation to partake with the family, was re- cently completely nonplussed by the unhesi- tating frankness of a child. Knowing that aneighbor’s supper hour was five, she called in about four, and settled her- self down for a long call. ‘It takes two to make a bargain,” and the lady honored with the call had no idea of giv- ing an invitation, if it was in her power to es- cape it. Accordingly the hour of five brought no indications of supper. Time wore on, the sun was near its setting, and still the same. A little girl, the daughter of the lady in ques- tion began to grow quite uneasy. At length, her mother having gone out for amoment, the visitor said— ‘‘ You must come over and see me, Mary, some time.’” 2 “No, L wont,”’ said the ehild. “Why not ?’” “Because I don’t like you.”” ‘But why don’t you like me?” “Because 1’m hungry, and want some tup- ” Tr. Per But,’’ said the visiter amazed, ‘I don’t prevent you having your supper, dol?” *« Yes you do,’’ said littie Mary. ‘Mother said she wouldn’t have vr deg till you were gone, if you staid till midnight.’’ In less than five minutes the visitor was marching out of the front door with a very red faee She hasn’t oalled to see little ary since. Little Mary, in her childish frankness has not yet learned the important lesson which after years will not fail to teach her, vie: that “« the truth, however excellent or desirable in itself, is not to be spoken at all times.’’ oe E> The young ladies of Lagro, Ind , hav- ing adopted a relation in temperance meet- ing not to receive the addresses of any young man addicted to cups, the young gentlemea publish a si with their proper names, stat they will not keep thecom- pany of young women who are members of this sogiety ! a ee ee eS NESSES near the head, is weaker and more easily ruptured than any other part; a provision for the easy exclusion of the animal, which takes place before the entire absorption of the vs- tellus or yolk of the egg, the remainder be- ing attached to the body of the young fish, enclosed ina capsule, which for awhile it carries about. The position of the animal, while within the egg, is with the head dou- bled back towards the tail, one very un- favorable for the process of breathing by internal gills, and hence there is an interest- ing provision made to meet the emergency. On each side 2 filament of the substance of the gills 5 apie from the gill-opening, containing vessels in which the blood is exposed to the action of the water. These processes are gradually absorbed after the fish is excluded, until which the internal gills are scarcely ca- pable of respiration. _ PRitosopry or Syeezixe.—A sneeze alwa: indicates that there is something wrong. It doos not occur in health unless some foreign agent irritates the membranes of the nasal passages, upon which the nervous fila- ments are distributed. In case of cold, or what is termed influenza, these are unduly excitable, and hence the repeated sneezings which then occur The nose receives three sots of nerves—the nerves of smell, those of feeling, and those of motion. The former communicates to the brain the edorous prop- erties of substances with they come in con- tact, in a diffused and concentrated state; the second communicates the impressions of touch; the third move the muscles of the nose—but the powers of these muscles are very limited. When a sneeze occurs, all these faculties are excited in a high degree. A grain of snuff excite the olfactory nerves, which despatch to the brain the intelligence that “Snuff has attacked the nostril!’? The brain instantly sends a mandate through the motor nerves to the muscles, saying, “Cast it out!’’ and the result is unmistakeable. So offensive is the enemy besieging the nos- trils held to be, that the nose is left to its own defense. It were too feeble to accomplish this. An allied army of muscles join in the rescue; nearly one half of the body arouses against the intruder ; from the muscles of the lips to those of the abdemen, all unite in the effort for the expulsion of the grain of enuff. Let us consider what vccurs in the instanta- neous operation. The lung becomes fully in- flated, the abdominal organs are preesed down- wards, and the veil of the palate drops down to form a barrier to the escape of air through the mouth, and now all the muscles which have relaxed for the purpose, contract simul- taneously, and foreed the compressed air from the lungs in a torrent out through the nasal passages, with the benevolent determination to sweep away the particle of snuff which has been causing irritation therein. Such, then, is the complicated action of a sneeze; and if the first effort does not succeed, then follows a second, a third, and a fourth ; and not until victory is achieved, do the army of defenders dissolve their eompact, and settle down inte the enjoyment of peace and oeenet This extract is from the Journal of Medical Reform. cays Mr. Littell, of the Living Age, published in New York, and is a little bit of philosophy “ not to be sneezed at. A Perr at Tom Caupse: the late Thomas Campbell, just printed, the deceased poet expresses himself as at his inability to dissover materials for a life of Mrs. Siddons, ‘‘ dear, good Mrs Siddons.”’” He writes : “She wasa very angel, but devils make better stuff for a biography than ls.

Nevertheless, there are some interest- ing particulars about her; her great gtand- uncle was executed for being a Catholic priest. I have some faint hopes of able to prove that he was even burntalive; but, unhappily that is not certain. Poor man! it would make no difference to him now by what death he died; but to me it would be most desirable, if possible, that he should have died by fire, for the sake of an exciting impression on my amiable readers.” —_ => First Love.—A Fact —Jerem: arrived at a period of life visa u wife would be quite a convenient uisition to his household. Accordingly he je some inquiries among his friends who would be a suitable person for him. ‘Alice Bradshaw will make you a good wife,” said a neighbor. « Well 1’ll take a look at her,” said Jeremy, as if he was about te view a piece of land or a horse Pursuant to this, he mounted his pony and rode straightway to the door of the damsel whom he had never seen.
