FROM THE FRENCH.
Many years since, when I was a young man
about twenty years of age. I used very frequent
ly to spend Sunday with my mother, who tesided
at Versailles, this being the only day of the
week on which I could leave Paris. I generally
walked as far as the Barriere, and thence I took
a seat in one of the public carriages to my mo
ther’s house. When I happened to be too early
for the diligence, 1 used to stop and converse
with a beggar, whose name was Anthony, and
who regularly took his station at the Barriere
de Passy, where, in a loud voice, he solicited , . , , , . . . , .
alms from every one who passed, with a degree 1 which, when hard pressed can Itirmsh withrn

At a meeting ol the Academy of Sciences at
Paris, on the 26th of December last, an interest
ing paper from Baron De Humboldt was read
reference to the contemplated Canal between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
He informs the Academy that the prep aratory
labors lor cutting a canal across the isthmus of
Panama are advancing rapidly. The commis
sion appointed by tiie govern neut of New (jren-
; ada, tor the construction of a canal to unite the
i wo oceans lias terminated his examination of the
localities, and has arrived at a r suit as fortunate
as it was unexpected. The chain o! the Cordil
leras does not extend, as was supposed, acruss
the isthmus; but on the contrary, a valiev very
favorable to the operation has been discovered.
The natural position of the waters is also favora
ble. Three rivers, over which an easy control
may be established, and which may be made
partially navigable, would be connected with the
canal. r I he excavations necessary would not
extend to more than 12A miles in length. The
fall may be regulated by four double locks, 133
feet in length ; and the total length of the ctu.al
will be 49 miles, with a width of 135 feet at the
surface, aud 55 at tlie base ; the depth will be -JO
teet. The canal thus executed will be naviga
ble by vessels of from 1000 to 1400 tons. Ac
cording to the estimate of M. .Morel, a French
Engineer, the total cost of this canal would be
only 14 millions of Irancs, including the pur-
chase of two steamers.

Social Affections of Animals.—A Professor, in

with au ulcer which no remedies could cure, and
so lie was left in the stjble to pine away and die.
It happened that a friend paid a visit to the own
er. and his horse was put into the same stable.—
I he sick horse appeared more cheerful, and
during the visit evidently grew better. When
the stranger horse was taken away, the sick one
drooped again. The owner had sagacity enough
to catch at the truth, and procured another
horse to keep permanent company with his own,
w hereupon the sick horse became better again,
and ultimately well.

One day the Captiin directed that one of lhe

pigs was seized for slaughter. The other, with
