TUE COXING OF TIIE SPRING
I am looking: for the coming,
The eoming of the Spring;
Oh my heart with joy is swelling,
And gladness in It dwelling;
While I'm waiting for the coming,
The coming of the Spring.
I've been weary too, with muting,
Waiting for the Spring
When the birds shall tell their praises,
And with heavenly rapture sing
Of the presence of earth's fairest child,
The lovely blooming Spring.
0! how long must I be waiting,
For the coming of the Spring
. ".i/Iten the dowers smile with tearful eye
At their awakening
And the brooks shall dance So artily,
To welcome buck the Spring.
Cease, cease my heart thy
Thy pining for the spring!
For coon she'll come, and over all
Her fairest beauties fling,7
So I'm looking for the coming,
The coming of the Spring.

PHILOSOPHY OF A HML
LECITItg FOP. HIE LAMS . COLLEGE
What's in a kiss ? " demands a once
popular song„ ladies. •
There's no harm in a kiss. " replies a
self-responsive lyric. " 'Tis a pure pledge
of friendship to man."
The answer is vague, if not evasive. A
more definite: ie has been given by Baron
von Reichenbach, in a Bonk, whose tide must,
to most of those lips which lend the question
its interest, prove rather trying—"Physico-
Physiological - Researches on the Dynamics of
Magnetism, Electricity, Heat, Light, Crys
tallization and Chemism, in their Relations
of Vital Force. "
Von Reichenbach writes this book to prove
that he has discovered a new force or princi
ple in nature, similar to electricity, only im
mensely more subtle than the electric
This—what d've call it ?—the Baron calls Od.
Well he may, some of you will perhaps re
mark—judging merely from the sound of the
word. Others may suggest that the letters
should have been reversed, and that the Ott
is, properly speaking, a De. Od, according
to Baron von Reichenbacb, emanates from
everything in nature, more or less ; but espe
cially from magnets, crystals, the sun, moon,
and stars, and the tips of fingers. It is lu
minous in the dark to sensitive persons ; it
affects. their.nerves of touch ; and it is what
operates in animal magnetism. Besides es
caping from; the fingers' ends, it also issues
powerfully from the lips; and this brings' us
ta Von 'Reichenbach's theory of a kiss.
Punch quotes Dr. Ashburner's translation,
page 257, of, the treatise of the . astounding
Baron:
" We here arrive at a not uninteresting
explanation of a hitherto obscure matter—she
import of the kisi. The lips form one of the
foci of the- biod, and, the flames which our
poets describe,do actually blaze there * *
It may be asked, how can this agree with
the circumstance that the mouth is ad-nega
tive This, however, does harmonize very
well with the fact ; for the kissgives nothing
it - desires and -strives merely; , it sucks in
and sips. The kiss is, therefore, not a nega
tion, but a physical and moral negativity.
Biod, "ladies, means vital Od; the mei
merle influence, in fact. The somewhat/a
lions description.of a kiss, as being " not a
negation but a Physical and moral negativi
ty, " is simply as much as to say, that the
kiss is a decided fact ; but that the act of kiss
ing is not , conferring a favor, but taking a
liberty, which seems true.
Certainly, a genuine kiss isnot a negation,
but, on the contrary, a strong affirmation,
which the lips cannot express so forcibly by
'any articulate phrase- 7 " Je vow mine,
" Zoo moui sas agopo "---or ditto in plain
English.
But neither can a kiss be a " negativity. ".
in all cases—at least, according to the expe
rience of Afr. Punch. It may be so when
A snatches a kiss from B. Bpt if every kiss
is a negativity, when A and B kiss one
another at the same.moment, the kisses of
both are negativities. Now, negativity im
plies positivty. Therefore, if Ais kiSsea by
B, and B by 'A, at the same moment, their
kisses are both positivities, because they are
both negativities, which is absurd. If nega
tivity does not imply positivity, then, when
'A and B mutually kiss,: neither of the two
imparts any positive gratification to the othet,
which is still more absurd. And on the last
supposition, the answer to the question,
" What's in a kiss ? " would be, " Nothing
at all, " the-absurdity of which is sell-evident.
Baron von Reichenbach leaves reciprocity
out of the question, as if he had no idea of
it. His od theory of kissing shows that he
is little versed in the practice, which, it it
were all a "negativity," would be truly
bilious. There would be nothing more plea
sant in lovers' kisses than there is in kissing
the book to make an affidavit. The Baron
should try a few experiments relative to this
branch of his subject ; he had better come to
England at Christmas, _and perform them
under the mistletoe.—Punch.
POPULAR EDUCATION IN THE U.
The following is the opinion of an English
man on popular Education in the United
States. It is peculiarly apropos at this time,
just,upoa the eve of trial of our new Cheap
Postage regulation :
Mr Cobden,who is always happy in ilinstra
lion, was, on this subject, particularly in
structive at the- Leeds Mechanics' Institute
meeting, a few weeks since. " You have
heard," he said, " something about the state
of education in A.merica. The thing which
struck me most, in travelling through the
United States,-was the great elevation of the
mass of the people there•above the condition
of the same class of people in this country.—
Hear, hear. I say, if a man visits the
United States, and travels through that coun
try ; if he,leaves this land thinking himselfa
Deniocrat,hut is in reality something else,
•he Will come back from the United States a
real thorough Tory. He will fitid his , preju
dices and' susceptibilities so - shocked by the
rubbit3g of his elbow against the really me
chanicclass of that country, in the steam
boat, the railway carriage, and everywhere
else when he travels, that if he be a mere'
kid:glove Democrat,. and have no real sym
pathy with the mass of the people, he will
come back what he was in reality When he

• Soy if he!goes there desirous really to ascer
tain whether the rieople"there are elevated
above'the working classes of all other places
in the world, he will come back delighted
with the social state ofAme 'rice. [Applause.]
What struck ine most of all was, that I did
not- find - in the New England States of Amer

of the Working, classes in our agricultural
and manufacturing : lOW - xis. Ileally they are

PRACTICAL PaiLo'sopnv.
The• Albany. Dutchman, in a Philosophical
reverie, renders himself responsible for the
following unfashionable doctrine :
I. So far as our experience goes, the world
is getting more and more atheistical every
day. Our 'churches may preach faith, but
they practice infidelity. Notwithstanding
the trust which they place in the Lord,
they seem to have still stronger confidence
in mechanics '
and would much rather trust
the safety of a Spire to a few yards of cop
per wire than all the prayers, that were ever
uttered. In our opinion. the , man who puts
up a lightning rod is as much guilty of athe
ism as Spinosa was."
" If you would make a good speed), be
on the oppoinion. There is a charm about
abuse that no other species of elbqtience can
even approach. Till Byron took to satire,
no one ever noticed him. Had Junius prais
ed the Duke of Grafton, instead of " lam
ming" him, his letters would never have
got beyond the newspapers they first appear
ed in. One of the best speeches made this
winter was that of Senator Carroll against
the Governor's Message, and all because it
is so interestingly malignant. Orations are
like oysters the more they are cayenned the
better they are relished."
Almost everybody has a hobby to . ride.
The statesmen of Massachusetts think 'fiat
the prosperity of the country depends on' the
tax on shirting. The iron-men of Pennsyl
vania, that it is closely identified with the
price of railroads'.and skillets. Abrowang,
on the contrary, attributes our progress to
the great rise that -took : place in the
Missis
sippi some fifteen.years -since, Previous to
that date, he says, torn Might be botight for
a shilling a bushel ; it, is now worth 50 cts.
You may smile 'm AbroWtine, and yet we
question whether he is much more crazy in
his notions than half our statesmen are.
" While some men seem born with fifty
sixes in their breeches, others appear to come
into the world with scaling-ladders in both
hands. The former may own gold mines
and still !:lie poor: while the others will be.
come distinguished, though their first climb
was over the fence of an alms-house." •
The greatest pleasure in the 3rld consists
in making other people envious. Who the
deuce would care for riches if he could not
make other people talk about them ! Miss
Fantadling wears a S5OO shawl, not because
it adds to either her comfort or contentment,
but solely because Mrs. Grundy will hate
her for it. Were there but one woman in
the world, she would dress in flannel spen
cers and wear thick boots.
The truths of Christianity once consisted
in visiting the sick and preaching without
salary. " At the present time, they consist in
visiting Europe and looking out for " num
ber one. "
" Of all parts of the body, " says Dr. Ro
bertson, " there is not. one Which ought to be
so carefully attended to as the feet. " Every
person knows from experience that colds and
many other diseases which proceed from the
same, are attributable to cold feet. The feet
are at such a distance from" the wheel at the
cistern " of the system, that the circulation
of the blood may be very easily checked there.
Yet, for all this, and although every person
- of common sense should be aware of the
'truth of what we have stated, there is no
part of the human body so much trifled with
as the feet. The young and would-begenteel
footed, cramp their toes and feet into thin
soled. bone-pinching boots and shoes, in order
to display neat feet, in the fashionable sense
of the term - . There is one great evil, against
which ever* person should be on their guard,
and it is one which" is not ,often guarded
against—we mean the changing of warm for
cohishoes or boots. A change is often made
from thick to thin soled shoes, without re
flecting upon the consequences which might
ensue. Iu cold weather boots and shoes of
good thick leather, both in soles and uppers,
should be worn by all'. Water-tights are not
good ,If they are air-tights also; India rubber
overshoes should neter be 'wort, 'except in
wet splashy weather,,and then nut very long
at once. It is hurtful to the feet to wear any
covering, that is air,tikht over them, and for
this reason India rubber should he wornies
seldom as possible. No , part of the body
should-he allowed to have a covering that en
tirely obstructs the passage of the carbonic
acid gas from the pores of the skid outwards.
and the moderate passage of air inwards. to
the skin. Life can be destr4ed in a very
short time, by entirely closing rtlp the pores
of the skin. Good warm stockings and thick'
soled boots and shoes are conservators of
health, and consequently .of human happi
ess.--Scientific American. . ,
Profaue swearing is' a ,vice so entirely
without excuse, so low, so vulgar, con
temptible and wicked, that it would be offer
ing an insult to our young readers to sup
pose them ever guilty.. of.it. ' But as this
senseless vice is yet too prevalent among the
extremely ignorant and abandoned, it is your
duty to instruct by the purity of your exam
ple, and as it occasionally disgraces the con
versation of a kw persons, whr*e character
in other respects 'might render their exam
ples dangerous to you, a few cautionary
.re
marks may not be improper.
The odious practice is :nconsistem with the
character of the good citizen, because it has
a direct tendency to defeat the administration
of justice and destroy the security of life,
liberty and property.
It is inconsistent with the character of the
patriot, because it tends to demoralize and'
degrade us as a nation, and prepare us to
pull -dowti the fair fabric of our freedom,
and yield our necks to the yoke of a"; tle' spot.
It is inconsistent with, the eharaetiti Or a
man of sense, for such a man will - `always
began to doubt whit is unnecessarily sworn
It is inconsistent with the character of a
gentleman, because it is adapted to the man
ners of the lo * *est and vulgar, and an insult
to every . conscientious man. -
It is inconsistent with the character of a,
man of truth, for he must ,doubt his own
word, who thinks it. requires to be confirmed
,with an oath.
It is inconsistentwith the character of a
man of any species of religion, or sense of
moral obligation; for he will continually ex
press his contempt for the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe, his Creator, preserver and ,
benefactor, and will leave his fellow-men
in quiet possession of their property, their
lives and - reputation, from motives on which
it iaimreasonable to place much reliance.
This vice is so_ totally _repugnant to the
Christian character that they are ,uuwilling
to be named together. A swtxtring,Chris

THE STEAM ENGINE.
In that famous city which, at the mouth
of the mysterious Nile, still kept in green
remenabrance the name. of its Macedonian
founder, lived Him the astronomer, who
more than two thousand years ago wrote of
the discovery of a machine moveable by
the vapor of water. But while his words
unquestiOnably described an attainable mo
tion and an available foree, it was dutthtful
whether the idea ever reached, and certain
that it : did not " , survive an experimental
illustration of its p4s-ibls practicability ht
there) himself. It was not until! sixteen
centuries of the ChriStiaid Era bad gone by.
that they, found any furifter approximatiOo
to the idea of 'a steam engine, a claim to
invention having been made, although on:
warrantably so,. on behalf of a native of
France, who lived about the year 1615, and
it was not in reality until the felicitous And
momentous image of separate condensation
threw its image info the profound tuedita
tions of James NS' att that they could' ac
knowledge the mighty secret to have been
unveiled, emancipated, and vivified.
In 1836, Dr. Lardner had hesitated to
sanction Abe daring proposal of an unbroken
run across the Atlantic from Liverpool to
Ne* York, while at the same time, hesd
indulged in expectations of a speed of - 120
miles an hour being obtained by railways.
This conjectural celerity of transport had
never hitherto been approached, and it is
certainly not so very desirable, for, irrespec
tively of other considerations, the health of
the traveller, although insensible to such
effects at the time,' might sooner or later
testify that' the human body, with its solid
and at the same delicate structure, had not
been appointed to dart as the swallow, or to
project as the cannon ball. The steam en
gine, is in agriculture, in manufactures, in
commerce, and in the furrows of the Water
as of the land, in the mill upon the surface,
in the mine within the bowels of the earth,
in the arsenal where slumber the dark thun
derbolts of devastating war, in the printing
press, whence emanates the bright lightning
of intellectual strength, forging the heaviest
anchors, spinning the finest threads, cutting
the hardest granite, weaving the softest is
sue—this faithful, willing, and indefatigable
slave, through the watches of the night and
the glow 'of the day, executes the intermin
able tasks which our wants, our duties, our
desires, yea, our very hydra-headed caprice,
command it to Gordon.
PHENIONENA OP FLAME.
The' principal phenomena of [lame are
well exhibited by a large. gas-flame burning I
from a wide orifice. It presents a hollow i
cone, the heat and light of which are con
fined to its exterior surface. A cross .sec
tion of such a flame exhibits a ring of light .
enclosing, like a shell, a central uninflamed
core, out of which au inflammable vapor !
may be drawn by a tube inserteckinto it, and I
again kindled at the extremity o the tune.—
A flame may be very hot without being pro-
portionately luminous. The flame of hydro.
Fen, for instance, is scarcely visible in day- I
.fight, but its heat may he shown by placing i
in it a wire of platinum, Whlch immediately J
acquires a white heat, and emits abundance ;
of light. The light of all fhitm , i. of .im- i
ilar origin, and depends upon solid matter ~
igntted and rendered glowing by_ the heat of!
the flame. Thus, if magnesia, or lime, in l
fine powder, be projected into the flame of
hydrogen, the brightness of the flame is '
immediately increased. All common flames i
as those of coal-gas; wax and tallow-candles,
/cc., owe their brightness to minute particles
of charcoal. When flames are cooled, they j
are at the. same time extinguished. Hence a .
flame may. as it were, be cut in two by a
piece of wire gauze held horrizontally across
it. In this case the smoke, gas, or vapor
and charcoal,-go through but, being cooled
by their passage through the gauze, they
cannot inflame „'yet by applying a flame to 1
.thisS okeit may again •be - kindled. Thus I
the u er portion of the flame may be burti. '
ed, w ile the inflammation of the lower half
is prevented, by the interposed cooling medi- - s

cunitous ANTICIPATION
In the works of Roger Bacon. who wrote
in the= thirteenth century, may be found riot
only an evidence of the wizard Monk 's know
ledge of gunpowder, but also a curious an
ticipation Of the steamboat, locomotive en
gines on railroads, the diving-bell, and the
suspension bridge. He says Art has
its thunders more terrible than those of heav
en. A small quantity of matter produces
a horrible.. explosion, accompanied by a
bright light and this may be repeated sons
to destroy a city or entire battalions. Men
may construct' such machines that the great
est' vessels, directed by a single man, shall
cut throuifi" the rivers and-seas with more
rapidity than if they were propelled by row
ers ; chariots may' be constructed, which
without horses shill ruu with inconceivable
swiftness : - men . may conceive machines
which will • bear the . diver without danger,
to the depths of waters ; and they may
invent a multitude of other engines and use
instruments, such as bri4es that shall span
the broadest rivers without any intermediate
suppbrt."
INFLUENCE lOF :TIIE SUN,
The sun's rays, says Herschel, are the ult
mate source of almost evert• motion whieit
takes place on the earth's surface. By their
heal are produced all winds. By their viv 1-
fyidg action vegetables are elaborated from
inorganic matter, and become in turn the food
of animals and man, and the sources of those
great deposits laid up for human ose in the
coal strata. By them the waters of the sea
are made to circulate in vapors through the
air, and irrigate the hind, producing springs
and rivers ; and by them are produced all
disturbhnces of the cheinical equilibrium of
the elements of nature, which, by a series
of compositions and decompositions, give
rise to.new products, and originate .a transfer
of materials.
REMARKABLE MEMORY.

record of the power of memory is one rela

England, who wagered a crown howl of

It is unamiable. A fretting man or wo

if he diet sting, with or without provoca

he is lifted up the instant that his own lungs,
and those of the persons who raise him are
inflated with air. Thus, the heaviest person
in the party lies iloWn'optlia 'wo chairs, his
legs supported by one and his back by the
other. Four persons, one at each leg and
each shoulder, then try ; to raise. The per
son to be raised gives two signals by,clap
ping his hands._ At the first signal he and
the lifters draw alimg-fill breath and.when
the inhalation is completed, - or the.lungs
filled, the second signal is given for raising
him from the chairs: LTo his surprise and
that of his bearers he rises with the greatest
facility, as if no heavier than a feather!
