he covered the retreat of the British troops, at
Braddock’s defeat, and was appointed to the com
mand-in-chief of all the Virginia forces. John
Quincy Adam was appointed, by Waslriugton, in
1794, minister resident to the United Netherlands,
thus commencing his public life at the age of
twenty-seven. Napoleon, we believe, was only
twenty-seven when he led the army into Egypt.
Some of the poets that have been the pride of Eng
land. have commenced to write early in life. Some
few, however, have produced their best pieces in
old age. Cowper was fifty before lie obtained
any reputation as an author. Y'oung never wrote
anything that could be called poetry, till he was
over sixty, and was more than eighty when he
published his poem on ‘Resignation.’ Chaucer
wrote his best poetry after he was sixty. Pope
wrote at twelve years of age ; Cowley at fifteen;
Chatterton at eleven. Samuel Rogers was fixed
in his determination to become a poet, by a peru
sal of Beattie’s ‘Minstrel’ when only nine years of
age. Thomas Moore wrote poetry in his four
teenth year, which was published in the Dublin
Magazine. Campbell wrote his poem on the
‘Pleasures of Hope’ at twenty-one—the same age
at which Pope wrote his essay on ‘Criticism.’■—*
Shelly wrote at the age of fifteen, he produced his
wild atheistical poem, ‘Queen Mab.’ Keats pub
lished his ‘Endymion,’ in his twenty-second year.

beef as weighed at the butcher’s stall.
A pint ot white beans, weighing 1 pound, and
costing? cents,contains as much nutriment as 34
pounds of roast beef, costing 87^ cents. Of all the
articles that can be eaten, the cheapest are bread,
butter, molasses, beans and rice. A pound of
corn meal, (Indian) goes as far as a pound of floor;
so that fine family flour at $16 dollars a barrel,and
corn meal at 4 cents, the latter is just one half leas
expensive. It corn and wheat were ground, and
the whole product, brand and all made into bread,
15 per cent, of nutriment would be saved, with
much greater healthfulness. These are standard

riveted on him. He then began :
“My friends, it is a very painful, but a very nec
essary duty, fora minister of the gospel to reprove
vice, misconduct, and sin, wherever found; and
be assured I will not shrink from the duty on this
occasion.
“And i£w,” continued the speaker, pointing
with his finger, “that sandy-haired man sitting yon
der by the door, who got up and went out while
the brother was preaching, and staid out so long ;
who got Ms bpots full of mud, and came in and
stamped the mud oft* at the door, making such a
noise that nobody could hear the preacher—that
man thinks that I mean him.
“No w order that he thinks so. It is a disgrace
to the State that he should have grown up here add
have no b< ; ter manners. Now, my friend, I ad
vise you to go home, and learn to behave yourself
before you again come to the house of prayer. But
Ido not mean him.
“And now,” pointing again to his mark, “that
little girl about tbe middle of the floor—I should
judge her to be about sixteen years old—w ith flow
ers inside of her bonnet; she that 'vas gigg!in_
and chattering all the time the brother was preach
ing—she thinks that I mean her.
- “And she ought to think so. I am sorry for any
parents that have brought up a girl to her age
without teaching her to behave modesty and prop
erly ; they are to be pitied. Lirclegirl, you liave
disgraced your parents as well as yourself. But I
do nut mean her.
“And now, that man on the bench in the corner,
w ho is looking up as blight as if he had never
been asleep in Ins life, and never expected] to be,
but who was nodding, and bowing and snoring all
through ihe sermon—that man thinks that I mean
him.
“And, indeed, he may well think so. My friend,
the house of God is not intended for a place of
sleeping. When you want to take a nap, go home,
take off your clothes, and go to bed ; there is the
place to sleep, not in church. But I do not mean
him.”
And thus he went on, fixing his dark eye on
< acli uflender, fill lie.had pointed out nearly every
man, woman and child, \\ iio 'had. in any respect
deviated from strict propriety, ending each reproof
with “I do not mean him,” or, “I do not mean
her.”
Judge White, sitting on the front bench, just in
face of the preacher, was, all the time' enjoying the
fun wonderfully. He laughed, he rubbed his haiids,
he chewed his tobacco with the greatest vigor.—
As each new' offender was brought up, he chewed
more and more violently, till the floor before him
became a puddle. .
“Now,” said the preacher, drawing himself up
with a severe look, “I suppose you want to
know whom I do mean. I mean,” said he, point
ing his finger true as the needle to the pole—“I
mean that filthy tobacco chewer, sitting on the end
ol' the front seat. Look at those puddles on the
floor! A toad would be poisoned in them: and
think of the sisters’ dresses being dragged through
such pollution.”
Judge White’s laughter was checked as sudden
ly' as if a thunderbolt had fallen. Every eye in the
congregation was instantly fastened on him. He
has averred that lie never afterwards dared to
chew tobacco in church.
A Nouwegiam Dance.—Round the musician
tlie young men and maidens formed a ring and be
gan to dance. There was little, and that little was
in an undertone. They' went to work with the
utmost gravity and decorum. Scarcely’ a laugh
was heard—nothing approaching to a shout the
whole night—nevertheless, they enjoyed them-
'selves thoroughly ; I have no doubt whatever of
that. The nature of their dances was somewhat
incomprehensible. It seemed as if the chief object
of the young men was to exhibit their agitility’ by
every species of improintu bound and fling of
which the human frame is capable, including the
rather desperate feat of dashing themselves flat
upon the ground.
The principle care of the girls seemed to be to
keep out of the way of the men, and avoid being
killed by a frantic kick or felled by a random blow.
But the desperate feature in each dance did uot ap
pear at first. Every man began by seizing his part
ners hand, and dragging her round the circle, ev
er and anon twirling her round violently with one
arm and catching her round the waste with the
other, in order—as it appeared to me.—to save her
from an untimely end. To this treatment the fair
damsels submitted with pleased though bashful
looks. But soon the men flung them off, and went
at it entirely on their own account; yet they kept
up a sort of revolving course round their partners,
like satellites round their separate suns. Present
ly the satellites assumed soyie of the characteris
tics of the comet.
They rushed about the circle in wild eratic cour
ses ; they leaped into the air, and while in that
position slapped the soles of their feet with both
hands. Should any one deem this an easy feat
let them try it. Then they became a little more
sane, and a waltz, or something like it, was got
up. It was really’ pretty’, and some of the move
ments were graceful; but fhe wild spirit of the
glens re-entered the men suddenly. The females
were expelled from the ring altogether, and the
youths braced themselves for a little heavy work ;
they flung and hurled themselves about like mani
acs, stood on their heads and walked on their
hands—in short became a company of acrobats,
yet all ways kept up a sympathetic feeling for
time with the music-—Good Words.

Get Enough Sleep.—“We have often heard
young men remark, that four or five hours’ sleep
was-fl.ll they wanted, and all that the human sys
tem requred. The habit of going without suffi
cient sleep, is very injurious. Thousands, no
doubt, have permanently injured their health in
this way. We live in a fast age, when everybody
seems to be trj’ing to invert the order of nature.
If folks will persist in turning night into day, it is
not to be wondered at that few last out the allot
ted term of life. No matter what be a man’s occu
pation—physical or mental, or, like Othello's,
‘gone,’ and living in idleness—the constitution
cannot last depend upon it, without sufficiency of
regular, and refreshing sleep. John Hunter, the
great surgeon, died suddenly, of spasmodic affec
tion of the heart—a disease greatly encouraged by
want of sleep. In a just published volume, by a
medical man, there is one great lesson that hard
students, and literary men, may learn, and that is,
that Hunter probably killed himself, by taking too
little sleep. ‘Four hours’ rest at night, and one
after dinner, cannot be deemed sufficient to recruit
the exhausted poivers of body and mind.” Cer
tainly not, and the consequence was, that Hun
ter died early. If men will insist on cheating
sleep, her ‘twin sister, death will avenge the in
sult.”
Poison.—Hall’» Journal of Healt^ says if a per
son 8Wallow3 poison deliberately, or by chance,
instead of breaking out into multitudinous and in
coherent exclamations, dispatch some one for tha
doctor ; meanwhile, run to the kitchen, get a half
glass of water in any thing that is handy, put it in
to a teaspoonful of salt, and as much ground mus
tard, stir it an instant, catch a firm hold of the
persons uuse, the mouth will ^oon fly open—then
down with the mixture, and 'in a second or two
up will come the poison. Thus it will answer bet
ter in a large number of cases than anything else.
If, by this time the doctor has not arrived, make
the patient swallow the white of an egg followed
by a cup of strong coffee, as antidotes for any
poison that remains in the stomach, because these
purify a larger number of poisons than any other
accessible article.
Caution in Feeding Stock.—It will not do to
take a cow or a horse used to low food—for in
stance, picking up its food about a poor planta
tion—and for the sake of getting from them extra
quantities of milk or labor, to commence high
feeding suddenly.
Every one knows of horses being thus overfed
at the start, becoming seriously injured. We have
known milch cows thus nearly.ruined. Greedy of
the unaccustomed quantity of rich food, they over
feed, and the consequence is a flux or running off*
of the bowels, very difficult sometimes to cure.
Commence the increase in feeding all animals
gradually, and in a few days you can feed as high
as you like. This applies to animals of every de
scription.— Cultivator.
Never too old to Learn.—Socrates at an ex
treme age. learned to play on musical instruments.
Cato, at eighty years of age, thought proper to
learn the Greek language.
Plutarch, when between seventy’ and eighty,
commenced the study of Latin.
Bocacio was thirty-five y ears of age when he
commenced his studies in polite literature, yet lie

alect. Dante and Petrarch being tlie other two.

In Harmony with Nature.—A correspondent
of the Oregon Statesmen furnish the the following
valuable hint to the fidgety. We have no doubt
there 13 something in it, and that as a genera!
rule those who lie with their heads to the North
will sleep well, especially’ if under the influence of
a clear conscience and a light supper :
For the last two years J haVe 'been tin able to
sleep well during much of the time, on account of
nervousness during the night. About a mouth
ago my wife told me she had turned the head
of our bed to the north in accordance with a sug
gestion she had read, made by some old plriloso-
pher or doctor, who declared that, to “get in har
mony with.nature,” and facilitate the flow of elec
tricity through the system, people must sleep witli
their heads towards the magnetic pole. I laugh
ed at the idea, hut consented to the arrangement.
The result has been I liave slept like a log
ever since. Some, say they have cured the
nervous headache by it. It may do others no
good, but it will do them no -harm to try it.—
There certainly may be as much good philoso
phy in it as there is in the working of a forked
peach lfmb over a vein of water thirty feet under
ground. This was once accounted for by a scien
tific correspondent in one of the Patent office Reports
on the principle of electrical attraction. Be this
as it may, my wife is such a thorough convert to the
magnetic theory that she has turned all her beds so
as to head north. If this be realy a genuine dis
covery, what a world of misery’ it will save the
nervous and fidgety!
Employment of WoslEa ix France.—I am in
duced to say a word upon the very numerous em
ployments of females in France, which are not
open to them at home. The books of nine tenths
of tbs rr-toii stores in Paris.nr a kept by women.
I'do not remember a coffee house in tbe city tbe
counter of which is not presided over by a woman.
The box offices of the theatres are tended by wo
men—not only those of the evening, but those
open during the day for the sale of reserved pla
ces. The box-openers and audience-seekers are
women. And not only do women act as sellers
in such establishments as are naturally fitted for
them, but even in groceries, hardware shops, wood
yards, fruit shops, butcheries, etc. In these pla
ces the book-keeper is a women, fenced in and

The ticket sellers at the railway stations are prin
cipally women.
Women even guard the stations and some of tha
less frequented crossings. Women cry the rate
of exchange every afternoon after the Bourse
hours ; and more numbers of the newspapers are
disposed of by women than by men. I never
saw yet a newsboy in France. In the porters’
lodges in the city there are as many portresses as
portes, and a landlord would prefer to take for
this service a woman without a husband than a
man without a wife. Imsmall houses, where only
one person is required,™hat one person is a wo
man. Omnibus conductors submit their waybills
at the transfer offices to women for inspection and
ratification. Women let donkeys for rides at Mont
morency, and saddle them too. Women under
take the moving of furniture, agree with yon as to
the price, and yon find them quite as responsible
as men . There are other capacities in which wo
men are employed in France, which I trust and
believe would never be accepted by women at
home ; a brigade of street sweepers contains an
equal number of males and females.

Ploughing Milch Cows.—We learn that Capt.
James Henderson, of Jasper county, has accom
plished the task of ploughing milch cows. Ha
works gear upon them, like he would upon a horse,
or mule. Feeding them very well, they do their
work kindly, and give more milk, now, than they
did before he began to work them.—Countryman.
