Care for Drunkennets. The late Earle of Pembroke, who had many good qualities, but always persisted inflexibly in his own opinion, which as well as his cenduct was often very singu lar, thought of an expedient to prevent the exhortations and importunities of those about him. This was to feign him self deaf; and under the preter.ce of hear ing very imperfectly, he would always form his answer not by what was really said to him, but by what he desired to have said. Among other servants was one who had lived with him from a child, and served him with great fidelity and affection, till at length be became hie coachman. This man by degrees got a habit of drinking, for which his lady often desired that he might be dismissed. My Lord always answered, "Yes, indeed, John is an excellent servant." "1 say," replied the lady, "that he's continually drunk, and desire that he may be turned away." "Aye," said his lordship, "he has lived with us from a child, and as you say, a trifle of wages should not part us." John, however, one evening, as he was driving from Kensington, overturned his lady in Hyde Park; she was not much hurt, but when she came home she began to rattle the earl. " Here," says she, "is that beast, John, so drunk, that he can scarce stand ; he has,overttirned the coach, and it he is not discharged may break our necks." "Aye," says my lord, "is poor John sick ? alas, I am very sorry for him." "I am complaining," says my lady; "that he is drunk, and has overturned me." "Ave," answered his lordship, "to be sure, Ge has behaved very well, and shall have proper advice." My lady, fludin ,, it hopeless to remon strate, went away in a pet ; and my lord having ordered John into his presence, addressed him very coolly in these words: "John, you know I have a regard for you, and as long as you behave well you shall be taken care of in -my family; my lady tells me you are taken ill, and in deed I see that you can hardly stand ; go to bed, and I will see that you have proper advice." John, being thus dismissed, was taken to bed, where, by his lordship's order, a large blister was put upon his heml, another between his shoulders, and six teen ounces of blood drawn from his arm. John found himself nest morning in a woeful plight, and was soon acquainted with the whole process, and the reasons upon which it was commenced. He had no remedy, however, but to submit ; for he would rather have incurred as many more blisters than lose his place. My lord sent very formally twice a day to know how hoUtri9 1111 A s,4lnonfla , grutulated my lady upon John s recovery, whom he directed to be fed only with water-gruel, and to . have 110 company but an old nurse. In about a week, John having constantly sent word that he wa well, my lord thought fit to understand the messenger, and said,"he was extreme lv glad to hear the fever had left him," Lind desired to see him. When John came in, "Well, John," said lie, "I hope this bout is over." " Ah, my lord." says John, "I humbly ask your lordship's pardon, and I promise never to commit the same fault again." " Aye, aye," says my lord, "you say right, nobody eau prevent sickness, and if you should be sick again, John, I shall see to it., though perhaps you would not complain, and promise you that you shall always have the same advice and the same attendance that you have had now." " God bless your lordship," says John, "I hope there will be no need." " Su do I, too, says his lordship, "but as long as you do your duty to me, I will do mine to you, never fear." John then withdrew, and so dreaded the discipline he had suffered, that he was never known to be drunk afterwards. Spiritualism Explained. A writer in "Once A Week" makes the following ingenious attempt to account for so-culled " spiritualistic" manifesta tions, as the result of ordinary physical causes: The phenomenon attributed to spiritu al agency are generally considered either mere tricks of legerdemain, or imaginary delusions which are unworthy of the con sideration of any serious thinker or man of science. The writer would beg leave to observe that he has good reasons for thinking that the so-called spiritual phe nomena are veritable facts, produced by natural causes which are but very imper fectly understood. Many diligent inves tigators of spiritual phenomena have been lead to think that they are produced by some powerful natural agent, distinct from electricity or magnetism, although somewhat allied to these forces. This powerful natural agent has been called the "odyllic forces." It is, probably, a peculiar manifestation of electro-maguetic force. • • Now, every human being is in himself a kind of electric battery. The different metals and acids in the body compose this battery. The mind or the will is the instrument which directs the force generated by the metals and acids. If the metals and the acids in the body be of a superior kind, and arranged in doe degree, and the mind be of a high order, the man is capable of sending a message to the remotest part of the earth, and maybe sure of receiving back the answer the counter-current.. This, I opine, is the true philosopy of spiritual- UM A gentleman, Biting in one of the boxes at the theatre, in company with a promin ent Congressman, not knowing who he was, entered into conversation with him ; and wing two ladies-,come into an op posite box, he turned to him, aud address ed him witb, "Pray, sir, can you inform me who is that ugly old that is just come in r "Oh," replied the Congress man, with great good humor,"that is my wife." "Sir, 1 ask you ten thousand par dons, I do not mean her, I mean that shocking monster who came in with her:" "That," he replied, "is my datiohter." The lesson thus severely taught was not likely to be soon forgotten. , WEDNESDAY__ SEPTEMBER 6, 1871. The Art of Employing Time. Adam Smith has shown, beyond all possibility of cavil, that a great many more pins can be made if the process rs divided among eighteen trades, than if each workman is obliged to make every pin from beginning to end himself. So too, a naturalist, who spends fear after year in the observation of red ants, Till be likely to learn far more of their nature and habits than could ever be known without making them the object of special study. There is a story told of a learned German professor who had given his whole life to the study - of the Greek arti cle, and who on his deathbed, warned his son to learn from his example, and not to flitter away his time in trying to master too extensive a subject; for he himself had failed in that way, whereas he might have accomplished something if he had confined his labors to the dative case.— Now it is no mean thing to accomplish something, and there is a deep delight in knowing that a thing done has been done well. Perhaps one is happier if, by dint of patient grubbing fur a lifetime, he finally gets to the bottom of one thing, than he would be if, like a swallow skim ming over a thousand meadows, he had been merely sipping the manifold sweets of nature, even though he should have sipped of them aIL We would not speak too positively on this point fur it is so msy to be wrong.— But in so far as we may speak, we will declare our conviction that there is a high er ideal than exclusive devotion to a single end, and that more happiness and the best social results are attainable by an harmonious developemeut of all our fac ulties, intellectual, moral, and ;esthetic. We believe that a state of society is de sirable, and we hope it is attainable, in which even a pointer of pins or the low liest of workers will, in addition to his routine of work (for we do not expect or desire to see division of labor discarded,) find both time and inclination to extend his thought over other fields. We feel that no man should, if lie can help it al low lkimself to be so absorbed in a single pursuit as to find no pleasure elsewhere, and thus dwarf the greater part of his nature. There is a joy in work, it is true if work be performed with heart and strength ; but there arc innumerable oth er joys of nature, which present them selves at unexpected moments in unex pected ways, and must be grasped at once or they are gone forever.—Exchange and Review. MEM " The wearied animal can proceed no further," said a doctor, as he stopped his horse at the turn-pike inn. lie entered the bar-room, inwardly cursing the roads, which prevented his reaching Salem be fore night, and seated himself by a blazing fire. 1,100m,y were his meu ta Lion s, w h len I f f ic two men, w lose atx,. at the_ entnrnc _o( turbed imagination pictures of fierce banditti. "Six hundred dollars," thought he, "shy did I bring it with me? and to proceed alone! But perhaps they may not be robbers ; perhaps they may not overtake me; at any rate I will proceed." After an inspiring draught the journey is recommenced, and tremblingly alive is the doctor to each little noise. Ha! a robber; and with the deadly weapon aimed at that head, which had so often directed the councils of thecommon wealth. And shall a life so preciots to the nation be sacrificed for a little pelf? No. "Take my money, but spare try life," exclaims the son of Galen, and cast his pocket book at the ruffian's feet. He waits not for reply, but applies the lash to the jaded steed. "Speed thee, Rozinante, and bear thy master far beyond the reach of dang er." The welcome glare of light soon flashes on the doctor's eyes. Assistance is procured, and'a full pursuit of the rob ber is commenced. They reach the scene of villain 7; and mu:strum horrendum! the terrine bandit still maintained his post; the weapon of death still extended, and the robber had not yet stopped to raise the booty which lay at his feet., A pump, with the handle frozen in a horiz ontal position, was found to have. been mistaken by the sapient doctor for a murderous highwayman! Preponderance of Youth in a State Prison. Writing of the lowa Penitentiary, a correspondent says : Men of fine ability, of manly charac ter, are easily discerned here as elsewhere. The visitor is amazed at the preponder ance of young men, not unf:equently of good parentage, but more commonly of that class who have given free scope to their passions for strong drink and its as sociations arc necessarily and inevitably dangerous. Men of professimal skill in burglary, gambling, and ill-fame, congre gate at the dens of strong drink, and by their artful graces win young men (bus) to join in their hilarities, and then adroit ly invite them into their little games. By this identical means forty-five young men out of sixty in the Penitentiary of lowa assured me they had been led into the crimes for which they were incarcerated. In ;the Reform School are several children from nine to twelve years of age, who were instruments in the hands of expert criminals for the comrnissidir of high crimes. Their first lessons; are usually learned in the schools of vice open to free access in almost every community. Their parents, if living, are either drunkards, or regardless of the consequences of drink ing associations. I took an impartial rec ord of 260 convicts in relations to their habits of drinking liquors. Of them, 219 had been drinking men; 109 attributed their incarceration to the use .of liquors; 21 only had been total abstinence me i n. These were wholly of that class who are imprisoned for lighter crimes and short terms. A foreigner who heard of the Yankee propensity for bragging, thought he would beat the natives at their own game. See ing some very large watermelons on a market-woman's stand, he exclaimed, "What I don't you raise larger apples than these in America ?" The quick-witted woman immediately replied, "Anybody might know you're a foreigner; them 's currants !" The Festival of Juggernaut. Before closing my letter I .should like to give you a few notes of a critical visit which (paid this week to the great god Juggernaut, on the occasion of the draw ing of his canto the temple of his good friend and aril - mai gossip, Bachabulbub. Children had their merry-o-rounds, grown up people their "cheap Jacks" In dianized ; little groups of friends squatted together after the manner in Hyde Park after is review, or at Epsom before the event of the day, only hero the food was merely parched rice, with a few sweet meats, and the drink water. If I had to gauge 'Undo() morality by the festival of Juggernaut I would have rated it very much higher than many of our mission aries du. Of course, there is the god, al ways ugly, an utter absence of worship, and an abundance of amusement; only— will you believe it P—with readings from the great poem of Valmiki nearly always forming one of the chief features of the fun. Fancy Milton read as a part of the fun of an English fair! I scarcely ever saw a llindoo turn round in the street to look after a woman, native or fictitious coloring, that I think I may give you this little sketch as an illustration of a real fact in connection with' one of the oldest of llindoo institutions, and with the mor ality of the llindoos. I went as a critic purely, prepared, if anything, to be dis gusted. I saw almost the exact counter part of an English lair, with the excep tion of an entire absence of drinking booths and "people in drink." The drawing of the car is a mere matter of half au hour when the roads are hard; the Mela, or fair, will last all the week, at the end of which the god will return to his habitation, etc. Well, I did not see a semblance of immorality. The road was lined with huts fur two miles (I referred to a preliminary proceeding of a festival a week ago.) and it was crowded with peo ple. The great curse of the nation is caste; if that were broken, and woman placed on a right footing as the equal of men, I should not be surprised if the Ilindous sent over missionaries to Eng land to convince us that they are more moral than ourselves.—Calculla cur—Lon due Times. Tile Dry Rogan, Will Webster, of ono of our inland towns, sold as good a cup of ale as ever mantled in a beer-glass. Ile was a bread baker, and, as is common in-the country, ho also sold bread ; and it ssas as usual for working people to call for a penny loaf as a penny-worth of ale at his house. A man one day came for six penny loaves. Webster served him as he sat in the drinking room; and after they had been delivered to him, said: • " Master Webster, take one of your loaves back, I'll have but five, and bring me a penny-worth9 . l: alsAat; will make 'The ale was brought to him, and he gave a loaf for it, drank it, and called for another, and another, and another, until he had exchanged the six loaves for six penny-worths of ale; then rising up, said : " Mary must. do with brown bread, which I believe will be quite as good for health;" and was deliberately marching off, when the landlord desired to be paid. " Paid! for what ?" said the fellow. " For my bread," answered the land lord. " Your bread—have you not had it again ?" " Why, then, pay me for the ale," said the publican." I gave you bread for it," answered the defendant. "That's true," replied Boniface, "yet somehow, I think I'm cheated, but if you ever bother me so again, call me cat, that's all; you shall always pay for every thing as I bring it in." LAW QUERY. Upon what can the landlord bring his action ? The Pestilence Fly In Canada. Following on the Colorado beetle, the next infliction to note in the order of in sect life is the appearance of the "pesti lence fly." The arrival of this insect, which is rarely or never seen in ordinary years, is believed to be the forerunner of pestilence, and it is said that it was last noticed in great numbers in this latitude previous to the breaking oat of the cholera m 1854. The insect, specimens of which have been exhibited to us by a citizen who credits the supposition above cited, is little less in size than the common house fly. It is jet black on the back and wings, the latter being round and short. The belly and under side of the wings are striped with yellow, while the legs are yellow, tipped with black near the feet. It is certainly an odd,lookiug insect, and one which we do not remember having seen before. It is found mingling with the common flies, and as it is represented to be quite common at present, those who are curious to examine the new corn er will have little difficulty in capturing specimens. As regards the supposition, or otherwise theory, that the appearance of this fly is an indicative of a pestilential season, we are not prepared to express an opinion. At ah events we shall give way to no alarming apprehensions until we have some assurance from the flies them selves on the subject.—ilamillon (C. 1r.,) ,Speclalor. AN EXTRAORDINILti Tun PIP,CS~A London watchmaker has constructed a gold hunting watch, in addition to being a timekeeper of the utmost precision, with chronometer adjustments, compen sation balance and cylindrical springs, exhibits on the dial plate the following different indications ;---First, the equation of the time; second, the moon's age; third, the months of the year; fourth, the day of the month; in addition to the hours, minutes and seconds, as an ordina ry watch. The mechanism is so contriv ed that any OLIO or the whole of the hands maybe set forward or backward at pleas ure without deranging the rest. Everyry• moment of this mechanical marvel is laid down in the strictest proportion and based upon calculations of an absolutely scien tific character, and the whole is within the compass of a pocket timekeeper. VOLUME A Father". Protest Against • , baling. "Yes, I've had a good many fights in my time," said old John Parkey, tenderly manipulating his dismantled nose; and its kind of queer, too, for when I was a boy the old man was always telling me better. He was a good man, and hated fighting.- When I would come home with my nose bleeding, or with my face scratched up, he used to call me out ibto the woodshed, and in a sorrowful and dis coura,,ed way say; `So, Johnny, you've had another fight' hey? How muuy times have I got to tell you how disgraceful and wicked it is for boys to fight? It was only yesterday that I talked to you an hour about the sin of fighting, and here you've beeu at it again. Who was it with this time? With Tommy Kelley, hey?

You're bound to disgrace us all by such wretched beha vior. You're determined never to be no body.

You palled out two or three handfuls of his hair? H'm I Did he squirm any ? Now, if you'd a give him one or two in the eye—but as I've told ye, many a time, fighting is poor business. Won't you— for your father's sake—won't you promise to try and remember that ? WM! John ny, how did it—ahem—which licked? You licked him! Sho! Really! Well, now, I hadn't any idea you could lick that Tommy Kelley! I don't believe John Bunyan at ten years old could have done it. Johnny, my boy, you con't think how I hate to have you fighting every day or two. I wouldn't have had him lick you for five, no, not for ten dollars! Now, son ny, go right in and wash up, and tell your mother to put a rag on your finger. And, Johnny, don't let the hear of your fighting avail].

A Saratoga correspondent writes thus: " A paper lies . before mo announcing the death of a once eminent clergyman. He died in an obscure village in Canada. He was settled in the City of New York. His society was - rich, large, and fashiona ble. He rode on the wave of popular fa vor. Crowds attended his ministry, and his pay was large. In the height of his populariity a letter was received by the principal warden of the church late one Saturday night, announcing his resigna tion, and saying that he had sailed for Europe that day. No reason was assign ed, and the parish were in a state of great excitement. After a time the pastor came back. His reasons for his course were stranger than his conduct. The principal one was that he was subject to black mail, and he could endure it no longer. He was soon settled in:an adjoining city, over an important charge. Hispopularity was renewed. But soon he left, went to Can ada, took the place of an assistant minis ter in a small charge, and there. ho died.

A French physician publishes a long dissertation on the advantages of crying and groaning in general; and' especially during surgical operations. • He contends that groaning and crying are two. grand operations by which nature allays anguish; that those patients who give way; to their natural feelings, more speedily recover from accidents andop6rations than those who suppose it unterthy a man to betray such symtoms of cowar di ce as either to to groan or cry. He tells of a man who .reduced his pulse from one hundred and , twenty-nix to sixty, in the course of a few liours,liy giving full vent to his emotions: If peo lle are at all unhappy about anything, et them go into their rooms and comfort themselves with a loud boo-boo, and they will feel a hundred per cent. better_ after ward. What is natural is nearly alWays useful ; and nothing can be more natural than the crying . of children when any thing occurs to give them either physical or mental sorrow.
