"Fondly cherished y&ars ago,
Almost everybody has heard of the
wonderful walking leaves of Australia.
For a long-time after the discovery of
tliat islaqd many people really believed
that the.leaves of a certain -tree which
flourishes there could walk about upon
the ground. The story arose in this
wav : Some English sailors landed
upon the oast onedav, and after roam
ing about until they were tired; tliey
sat down under a tree to rest them
selves. A puff of wiud-camealong, and
blew off a showeY .of 'leaver,^i^Hch,

Some sharp climbing up the moun
tain, nearly a thousand feet, brought
me to the sulphur mines—a scene I
shall never lorget—a literal pool of fire
an f brimstone. Had Milton ever
visited the sulphur mountains of Ice-
hind, I could nave forgiven him his
description of the infernal regions.—
Here was a Uttlo bollow scooped out
of. the side of the monntain ; and all
over and through it, yellow sulphur,
burning hillocks of stone and clay,
and stifling sulphurous smoke. The
surface, too, was semiliquid—in fact,
as near.a literal lake of tire and brim-
tvpon the ground. --.atei Tt - was -mid-! stone as this world probably shows.—

4iie sailors oojisiderably. But tli if
surprise yY;ls much greater, as you
may \v.eU-suppose, when, after-a short
time/Ahey -saw fhe leayes crawling
.along upon tlie ground towards, the
truirk of the tree. They ran at once
for their vessel, without stopping to
examine into the matter at all, and set
-Sail away from-the land where every
^hing seemed to be bewitcired. f)ne
of the men saiu 'that lie ‘Expected
; every moment to-see the trees set to
and damce a jig.”
’ SahsequeiH explorations of Austra^
lia have taught us that these walking
.leaves are insects. They live upon
the trees. Their bodies are very thin
and flat, their, wings forming large
leaf-like organs. When they, are dis
turbed-their legs are folded away un
der their-bodies, leaving the shape ex
actly libe.a-h-iik with its-stem and all
complete. They are of a bright green
color.in the Summer, but they gradu
ally change in tlie Fall, witnthe leaves
to tlie brown offrost-bitteh vegetation.
When skaken from the tree they lie
for a fe w minutes upon the ground, as
though they were dead, but presently
they begin to crawl along towards the
tree, which they ascend again. They,
rarely use their wings, although they
arc pretty well supplied in this res

the bodv comparatively defenceless

is to act like ; a general,, who at the ap

.Ivis armvJn useless evolutions, so that
-when the battle came to be joined, bis
soldiers would b.e too fatighed to fight.
If one is forced to remain even in the
city, health may be preserved by
avoiding excess. Had the. persons
who died so suddenly in .New .York
and Philadelphia durirjg the l4st_.Su.m-

The 10 o’clock’train from Philadel
phia had arrived at Burlington on its
■-way to New York, somewhat behind
its us ia! time, ai d was obliged to wait
•there ten minutes for the 8 o-’clo.-k
train from New \ork, which was also
-behind time. Having waited the re
quired time it moved cautiously on its
way for about three miles, “when it
was dr covered that the ‘New \ ork
train had arrived first at the half-way
post, and was, by the rulfeVof tire roild
entitled to the track. It t'hen backed
at the rate of twenty miles per; hour,
when it came inlo collision, on acros-
sing, with the horss attacked to the
lightpleasuiewagon of-a Dr. ITeine-
ken, about half a mile from Burling
ton.' The horses were killed instan
taneously, one being thrown forty
yards from the track.
a fine pink or fresh colored clay ; and
ail over this I could see holes com
municating with the mighty laboratory
of natucc below ; and as the steam and
smoke came out of these holes, the
fine particles of sulphur seemed to be
brought up*to the surface. The clayey
ground where the sulphur lay was ia
most places soft, and- could not be
walked ovcf without the greatest dan
ger of sinking down through it, per
haps into the firey depths in the liow-
elsof the mountain. Indeed, it pos
sesses a kind of hoirible and fascina
ting interest. Around the edges and
in certain places the soil is hard, and
sorfte stones are seen where one can go
ia safety. By having a couple of
boards a man might walk all over the
ground. In some places the sulphur
was a foot thick, and as it gathered it
seemed to consolidate, and I found I
could break up large pieces, beautiful
ly crystalized. This sulphur appear-
ed-aboiit as pure as the sulphur sold
in the shops, but not as dense. It bad
dot half that strong odor that sulphur
and brimstone have in a prepared state.
These mines showed signs that they
had been worked, as some bits of
boards and planks lay about, and there
were some paths to be seen. The
sulphur is taken off the surface, and
then the ground is left for two or
three years lor it to collect again.—
fSulphur is so cheap, and these mines
arc so far from a seaport, yllavenfiord,
sQmetweiUy miles north, being, the
7,ot verv prolitable nor earned on to a
■rreat extent. There are 1 '' rW aul *
other sul
pliurmines in tlie north; son-e pro
ductive ones near Kravla mountain,
on itre-ghnron iT Mount Lake Myvaln.
The scene was horrible. The cars degenerated humanity.

The Wouiea of Aacient Thies.
Dr Befport in a course of clinical
lectures on the disease of women and
children, just issued, from the presa
says: •• .
“It was the pride of the ancrcnts to
impart to th>*ir children robust con
stitutions and enduring health; and
could a mother of those smsible times
again visit earth, look upon the pre»rnt
condition of society, anti witness its
fleets on the women of the present
veneration, she would indeed, think
That human nature has run its ooorse.
She would search in vain in our cay
cities for liaise who \vou!d remind her
of her own ruddv and vigorous daugh-
, ters ; and from the iullncss of her
j heart, she would drop a tear over poor
degenerated humanity. If the diseases
incident to woman be more frequent at
the present- time, than formerly—and
the fact no one will deny—the fre
quency is to be attributed to changes
in modes of life and education, and to
increase of nervous excitement, tbe
immediate effects of these changes.
“While I would not dcs*re to »e«
the females of*the present day *nb-
jected to the severe training impooed-
iicon fhe young gfrls among the an
cient Greeks, yet l would suggest that
a useful lesson might be learned from
reference to the discipline then exer
cised. History informs ns that the
Lacedmmonian father required of his
daughter to support the weight of
arms and cucounter the labors of war,
until the time of her marriage : and
Hippocrates observes that the girls of
Scythia were not permitted to fnany
until they had killed three men! In
those days, it is assorted, that hysteria
and other nervous.derangements were
not of frequent occurrence.
