Influence cf Music on Animalp, j Perhaps the most common exhi bition of the influence of music on nnimals is that witnessed in circus es anti other equestrian entertain ments, where the horse is effected in a lively and exhibiting manner by the performance of the band—often waltzing and prancing, and keeping perfect tone-with ihe music. Dogs are effected by music ; bui it is difficult to determine whether agreeably or otherwise. Many nat uralists believe it to be disagreeable to them, an opinion which is strong ly supported by the fact that, if left to their liberty, they generally lake flight with howls as soon as the mu sic readies their ears. They have been known to die when compelled to hear music for a considerable lime. Other quadrupeds, and also owls, have been known to die from the effect of music. Cats are said to mew loudly on hearing ihe sound of instruments, hut are more seldom and less pain fully effected tlnn dogs. On tin other hand it is well known thai many kinds of birds are effected in a very agreeable manner; often ap proaching as near as possible the instruments, or persons, and remain ing as long as the music combines, add then -flapping their v ings, as wo we should clap our hands, in appro bation of the performance. Many of trie wild animals are said to be loud of and even charmed by music; trie hunter s of the Tyrol and some parts of Germany often entice stags by singing, and the female deer by playing lne flute. Beavers and rats have been taught to dance the rope, keeping time to music. Among reptiles, the lizzard shows perhaps, the most susceptibility’ to musical influences; lying first on his back, and then on his side, and anon on his belly, as if desiring to expose every part of his body to the sonorous fluid which is so delightful to him. He appears to be very re fined in his taste ; soft voices and plaintive Household Mcdicim beint his favorites, and noisy mu- or whistling, and make com- jj KJlLJOttlS, Bay Rum and huups uiail I i kinds can be easily made for loss than half the usual rates, by means of Fielders Re ceipt.

Among the insects, spiders are found to be very fond of music; as soon as the sounds reach them, they descend along their web to the point nearest to that from which the mu sic originates, and there remains mo tionless as long as it continues. Prisoners sometimes tame them by Singiii panions of them. But perhaps the most remarkable influence of music on animals oc curred at a menagerie in Paris, a few years ago, when a concert was given, and two elephants were a- mong the auditors. The orchestra being out of sight, they could not perceive whence the harmony came. The first sensation was that of sur prise ; at one moment they gazed eagerly at the spectators; the nex: the} 7 ran at their keeper lo caress him, and seemed to inquire what the strange sounds meant ; but, at length, perceiving that nothing was amiss they gave themselves up to the impressions which the music communicated. Each new tune seemed to produce a change ot feel ing, causing their gestures and cries to assume an expression in accord ance with it. But it was still more remarkable that after a piece had G reene s dysiEpsia remedy, ai produced an agreeable effect upon safe, sure and speedy cure of that most .„ . » . t distressing of complaints ‘‘Dyspepsia,” put up j them, it it was incorrectly played, from an original recipe of Dr. Greene, Fort I they remained perfectly cold and Valley, Ga., by whom U lias been n»d , / with wonderful success.

Men who will stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth reels. Men who can tell the truth and look the world and the devil right in the eye. Men that neither flag nor flinch. Men who can have courage without shouting to it. Men in whom the courage of everlasting life runs deep and strong. Men too large for sectarian bonds. Men who do not cry ami cause their voices to be heard on ihe streets, but who will not fail nor be discouraged till judgment be set i.i the earth. Men who know their messages and tell it. Men who know their places and fill them. Men who iitiui! their own business. Men who will not lie. Men who are not too lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor. Men who are willing to eat what they have earned, and wear what they have paid for —Louisville Commerc l. — Ord Women.—I think old wo- ■nen—I don’t like the word “lady,’ because it does not mean anything uow-a days—are the most beautiful and lovable tilings in the world. They are so near Heaven that they cauh the glowand brightness which radiaie from the pearly gate and il luminate their faces. When ihe huir begins to silver, and the embers in the fire grow cold, and the sun has got so tar around in life’s horU zon that the present makes no shad ow, while the past stretches down the hillside to a little mound of earlli where we will rest fora season —a little mound not big enough to hold our corner lots, and marble fronts, and safes which we shall have to leave on the other side of t he hill, hut big enough, 1 trust, to hold our memories and fancies, our air castles and secrets ; and when the journey is nearly done, and the night is setting in, and the darkness be gins lo gather around us without any stars, and the birds sing low in the trees, and the flowers wither and die, and the music- we hear comes from afar, strangely sweet, like sounds coming over the water, and like liitlu children, we live within ourselves, and the world gradually recedes from us—then I should iike to be an old woman, full ol blessed memories and peaceful anticipations. “Sometime.”—it is the sweet, sweet song, warbled to and fio among the topmost boughs of the heart, and filling the whole air with such joy and gladness as the song of birds do when the summer morn ing comes out of darkness, and day is born on the mountains. We have all our possessions in the future which we call “sometime.” Beautiful flowers and singing birds are there, only our hands sel dom grasp the one, or our ears hear the other. But oh, reader, be of good cheer, for all the good there is a gol den “sometime ; ” when the hills and valleys are all passed ; when the wear and lever, the disappointment and sorrows of life arc over, then ihere is a place and the rest of God. Oh, homestead, over whose roof falls no shadows or even clouds; and over whose threshold the voice of sorrow is never heard; built upon eternal hills, and standing with thy spires and pinnacles of celest.al bcanty on high, those who love G. d, shall test under thy shadows, where ihere is no more sorrrow nor pain, nor the sound of weeping—“some time.”—Prentice.
