Sense and Sensation. The greyhound runs by eyesight only, and It Is eve observe as a fact. The carrier pigeon 1 . les his two hundred and fifty miles homeward, I by eyesight, viz: from point to point of object which he has marked, but this is only our con jecture. The fierce dragon-fly, with twelve thousand lenses in his eyes, darts from angel to angel with the rapidity of a flashing sword, and as rapidly darts back—not turning in the air, but with a clash reversing the action of his four wings—the only known creature that possesses this faculty. His sight then, both forward and backward, must be proportionately rapid with hls wings, and instantaneously calculating the distance of objects, or he would dash himself to pieces. But in what conformation of his eye does this consist? No one can answer. A cloud of ten thousand gnats dances up and down in the son, the gnats being so close together that you can hardly see the ininutest interval between them, yet no one knocks another headlong upon' the grass, breaks a leg or a wing, long and deli cate as they are. Suddenly amidst your admira tion of this matchless dance, a peculiarly high shouldered vicious gnat, with long, pale, pend ent nose, darts out of the rising and falling cloud, and settling on your cheek inserts a poisonous sting. What possesses this little wretch to do this? Did he smell your blood in the mazy dance? No one knows. A four-horse coach tomes suddenly upona flock of geese on a narrow road, and drives straight through the middle of them. A goose was never yet fairly run over, nor a duck. They are under the very wheels and beefs and vet, somehow, they contrive to flap and waddle safely off. Habitually stupid, heavy and indolent, they are, nevertheless, equal to any emergency. Why does the lone wood pecker, when he descends his tree and goes to drink, stop several times on his way—listen and look round--before he takes his draught? No on 3 knows. How is it that the species of ant, which taken in battle by other ants to be made slaves, should be the black or the negro ant? No ant knows.--The .Poor Artist. Povierfal Reasoning. At a young men's debating society somewhere down in Indiana, the question for discussion was si Which is the greatest evil, a scolding wile, or a smokey chimney.. After the appointed die= patents had concluded the debate, a spectator rose and begged the privilege of ' , making a few remarks on the occasion." 'Permission being granted, he delivered himself in this way:--Mr. President, I've been almost mad a listening to the debate of these 'ere youngsters. They don't know nothing at all about the subject. What do they know about the evils of a scold ing wife? Wait till they have bad one for twenty years, and been hantritered, and jammed and slammed all the while, and wait till they've been scolded because the baby cried, because the lira would'nt burn, become the oven was too hot, because the cow kicked over the milk, be cause it rained, because the sun shined, because the hens didn't lay, because the butter would'nt come, because the old cat had kittens, because they come too soon for dinner, because they were one minute too late, because they sung, because they tore their strowsers, because they invited a neighbor woman to call again, because they got sick ; or because they uid anything else, no matter whether they conld'nt help it or not, or because they didn't do something else, no matter whether they could or not, before they talk about the evils of a scolding wife; why Mr. President, I'd rather hear the clatter of hammers and stones and twenty tin' gins and nine brass kettles, than the din, din, din, of the tongue of • scolding wife. Yes sir-ee, I would; to my mind, Mr. President, a emokey chimney is no more to be comparedto a scolding witb, than * little nigger is to a dark night." PRODUCTION OF GOLD AND SILVER IN 1649.—We have it from the best author ity that the miner. of Mexico produced forty millions in gold and silver during the last year, the mines of South Amer ica about twenty million's, those of Cali fornia about thirty, making altogether one hundred and forty millions of gold and silver added to the specie currency of the world in one year, and probably next year the addition will be,two !tun dred'inillions.

John Brown, of Haddington, the well-known author of the Self-Inter preting Bible, was a man of singular bashfulness. In token of the truth of this statement, it need only be stated that his courtship lasted seven years.— Six years end a half had passed away; and the reverend gentleman had got no further forward than he had been the first six days. This etate of things be came intolerable: A step ill advance must, be made, and Mr. Brown summon ed all his courage for the deed. "Janet," said he, as they sat in sol emn silence, "we've been acquainted now 19r six years an' mair, and I've ne'er got ten a kiss yet. n'ye think I 'night take one, my bonnie girl I" "Just as you like, John ; only be be coming and proper wi' it." "Surely, Jenne, we'll ask a bles sing." The blessing was asked, the kiss was taken, and the worthy divine, overpow ered with the blissful sensation, Most rapturously exclaimed : " Oh, woman ! but it is gude. We'll return thanks."

Alt these afilictions tricrented Vrith such violence, that on the 4th of January last I sent for my family physician. lie attended me faithfully, and prescribed every thing that medical skill could suggest, but without ef fect. t foliiia thyself gradually growing warier and my hopes of recovery lessening en my dis inercOsed. My cough became distressing ; my pains severe; and, extremely debilitated, r lost all ambition in life, and gave up to a melan choly dept ession. My physician examined me, arid informed me I had an aline s . o n the upper part of my liver and lower part Of one of my !Wigs. Notwithetanding all this chill, I grew iierree, brit with that tenacity with which we all cling to life„ I colichided to b eve nothing undone, and called in a consulting phyeiciati, Who frilly concurred with my own, and priolounced my Crier; en ex tremely crilical one. He thought I we's in im minent danger--saying my theme "was one the is seldom if ever cured." All this time I was err during sufferines that made life burdensome ; ci perieneing great pain in coughing; expectora ting from a pint to a quart of nnuceous flintier avert' 21 Miura, and gradually sinking tinder the weakning progress of my disease. At this siege of my Lines., my friends in Bristol suggested the use of Schneck's Pulinome Syrtip. but Im o .; ing the many expedients resorted to for the pur pose of draining money from the afflicted, I Bated. My friends, however," it uifting , I wan prevailed upon to try its virtues. I commar!eil taking the Syrup about the first of March, slid used several betties before I had any confidence in it. I then begin to experience a change far the better, and continued it till I had consumed ten bottles, when I was NO far relieved as to be able to visit Dr. Schneck in l'hiladelphis. Ile examined me, and pronounced my right lung at: leered, but in a healing con.litioh, He ' , corn .; mended the further use of the S 3 riip, which I continued till I consumed 15 bottles, and found myself once more restored to health. I fur ther arld,ihat the consulting physicla, neeirig the action of the medicine, fully approved its use. To giVe the reader some idea of the severity of nay ease, and the mind cure affecte d ay the Syrup, I will state that my usual sioight in health was 177 pounds, which wan finally re , d uced by my sulierings to but 121 pounds. Yet, on the first of this month, (Septernber,',, I weigh ed 174 pounds, thus gaining in a few months 53 pounds, and within three pouhds of my heaviest weight. It is not in my power to convey, in the hurt spites of this certificate, the convincing proofs of my remarkable cure, or the particulate of the ai,onixing afflictions through which I have 'passed ; but to those who will take the trouble to call on me, at 13ristol, opposite Pratt'. hotel, I shall take pleasure in detuiling l oci, particular. In conclusion, I deem it my duty td urge upon , covey person who cony have the pieinenitary symptoms of this fetal disunite, not to delay one hour, but to call upon Dr Schneck immediately.
