It is doing wonders for Dyspeptics raring eases:of Debility, Emaciation, Nervous Dc eline,and Dyspeptic Consumption. supposed to be on the verge of the grave• The Scientific Evidence titian %%Ilich it is based, is In the highest degree curious triad remarkable. _ IMI Baron I.whig, in his celebrated work on Animal 4- nlmb:try, saya "An Artificial Digestive Pinld ana rrous to the Gastric Inks.. may be ti-adi4 prepared ).t.tlie mucous membrane of the stomach of the Calf n which various articles of food, aF meat' and eggs, will be softened,-nuanced,-and' digested. just In. the same manner as they would be in the tininanatomaeh.' 'Dr. Pereira, in his famous treatise on '"food and Dirt," published by Fowlers & Welis„N6w page 35, states the same great fact. and describes the method of preparation. There are few higher author'. E I tier, than Dr. Pereira Dr. Comte, Ins valuable writings onthe"Physiol• ney of Digestion," observes that 'a dinitinnion of the due quantity of the Ga-tric Juice is a prominent and all-prevailing rause of Dyspepsia:" and he Mates that "a distinguished pr s ofessor of medicine in London, whoavas severely aUlicted with this complaint, find ing everything else to flit, had recourse in the Caloric Juice.obtained from the- stomach of living animals, which proved completely suer-es:IUL" Dr. Graham, author offhe famous worst on "V,ege ta I.le Diet," says: ''it is a remarkable fact in physi- Anay, that the stomachs of animal.;,, macerated in water, impart to the timid the prdperty of dissolvins various articles of food; and of effecting a kind orate tificiai digestion of them in no wise differenkfrom he natural digestive process."

Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson College, elate. delphla, in his great work on human Physiology, de votes more than fitly pages to an exantination of this subject: His experiments with Dr. fleauniont.OU the Gastric Juice, obtained from theliving human stomach and from animals are well known. "in all cases."- he says; "digestion occurred as perfectly in thearti ficial as in the natural digestions." Dr. John W. Draner,Professor of Chemistry In the Medical College . of the University of New Itoilt; in Ills "Text Donk of Chemistry," page 3: 4 6, says: "ft has been a question whether artificial digestion could be performed—but it It 110111 , universally admitted that It may be."

All modern works on Chemistry, Materia Medica, and Physiology, and all good Medical Dictionaries, describe the character and properties of Pepsin, and state many interesting details respecting It.

These Faintiditfer from all others in the romitet they are not clays ; they teduire little nil, flow easily, and cover with a beerier body than white lead. They neither crack nor peel, and dry. readily, making an M ENAEL OP RTOXE, .COLORS.—We have seven different colors, v Iz-f— -three Browns, two Chocolates,lllack and Yellow, and by combination make every vat lety and shade of color. ,RODY.—These Paints arc superior in body (or covering property) to any yet discovered, and pound filr pound will cover double the surface of white lead, zinc, or other metallic Paints. • IRON.—To Iron they furnish a perfect protection against rust, for they contain no metal, which like white lead acts destructivelyon the iron; In fact this Paint makes Iron doubly valuable for building purpo ses. • .. • . BRICK WORT.—The y give to house walls a much heavier coating than other paints, and if sanding Is required, nothing holds so firmly or finishes so well with It. OLD ROOFS.—Give us a rotif,never so old and leaky, Silver's Mineral Paints will make It chekply riew - and more enduring than it ever was. SHIPS using this extraordinary Mineral as.we pre pare it for them, will be proof against the action of hot nuns, worms and salt water. CAPITALISTS and BUILDERS are invited to make strict scrutiny into the merits of these Paints. They will find a very great reduction might be made in the cost of painting. These Paints are purely mineral; all clays and other Impurities are washed out in pre paring them for the market. They cost but half the price of white lead, and the same quantity will corer twice the surface, and last six times as long, which in fact reduces the price to one twelfth. Climate has no effect on this Paint, and is equally valuable in the cold tnad.ls or sunny Florida. DIRECTIONS.—Use Linseed Oil, mix as thick as you can, and use as other paints.' Thee Paints need but little dryer, and for priming and second coating in rill housework they wilt be found far cheaper and, more durable than lead.

The duty of Directors!to levy the annual school tax, on or before the first Monday of May, is merely declaratory. If they neglect, or for any other cause do not levy the tax within the time Specified they may levy it at a future period, and a tax thug levied is as valid as if the ,letter of the law had been strictly (nine& To p rocure the 25 per cent allowed to non accepting districts by the act of 1848, it is necessary for the district claiming the same to make proof; of a satisfactory character to to the County Treasurer that it is embraced in and has complied with the provisions of that officer to deduct the per tentage from the amount paid in by such district for State purposes, and pay over the same to the dis trict collector, whose receipt therefor would be received as a proper voucher on settle ment of his account with the State Treast— rer. The act of 1843 embraced the School years 1848 and 1349. By the appropriation bill of 184 4 4 it was extended to the first of June 1850,1 by the act of 1850 to, the first of June 1841, and the act of 1851 to the first of June 1852. , The clause in reference to the discharge of a teacher, ip the blank agreement between Directors and teachers, printed in the pamph let copy of the school law, is intended mere ly to enable the Directors to terminate the agreement at the end of a month or quarter, and does not in any manner, qualify their duty to discharge a teacher at any time for incompetency, -cruelty, negligence or immor ality. Farming is not a taxable occupation.— Therefore, single freemen who are farmers are subject to - the minimum tax of fifty cis. All'real estate and other property is taxed separately from and in addition to offices and posts of profit, professions, tradeS and occu pations, or single freemen without occupa tion. If a Board or Directors fail to organize be cause no one of them can obtain a majority of votes for President,' it is such neglect of duty . as will justify the Court of Quarter Sessions, upon the complaint of six taxable citizens of the district, and upon due proof thereof, to declare their seats vacant and ap point others in their stead. When two Directors are to be elected, and three persons have an equal number of votes, there is no election, and such vacancies therefore exist as authorisei the Board to fill them by appointment until the next elec tion. If any citizens establish a school without the authority of the Directors, and it such school is not directly approved of by a ma jority of the Board of Wee - tors acting in their official capacity, the former cannot compel the district to pay the expenses of such school. The Superietendent has; requently decided that a committee elected in a district at any other time than that authorized by the school law, is illegal' and has no authority to act.— If persons thus elected do act, their action is illegal and not binding oh the sub-district, the Directors, or other individuals, but the Directors may afterwards approve their ac tion, in which case it is as binding upon the parties in interest as though the committee had been legally constituted. The act of Assembly prohibiting candi dates for certain offices from serving as offi cers of the erection does not apply to School Directors. MUSICAL EDUCATION IN GERMANY In visiting the schools at Schwalbach, the first room we came to was that of the girls, who were all learning Astronomy. A strange 1 preparation, thought I, for the alter-life of a Nassau female. Who would think that the walking masses, half grass, half women, one meets every day in the fields and lanes, would be able to tell whether the earth moved round the sun, or the sun r9und the earth, or if the moon were any bigger than their reaping hooks? We asked the master to allow us to hear them sing. Great was the delight of the little madchens when this request was made known ; there was an universal bright ening of faces and shuffling of leaves; the pedagogue took down an old violin from a peg where it hung, and accompanied their sweet voices in a pretty, simple air, which they sung in parts, and from the notes. The next room was lull of little boys be tween six and eight years of age. They sang a hymn for us, the simple words of which were very touching. As I stood behind one dear little fellow, " hardly higher than the table," I understood how it was that the Ger mans were a nation of musicians, and that, in listening to the rude song of the peasants at their work, the ear is never shocked by the drawling, untaught 'style of the same class of people in our country. From the time they are able to lisp they are made to Slog by note. My little friend in the ragged blouse, and all the other children, had the music, as well as the words they were sing ing, in their hands, written on sheets of pa per ; they followed the time •as correctly as possible, marking with their little fingers on the page the crotchets, quavers, rests, &c. s At Leipsic the most un-English traitl gath erea during, my speculations at the window this evening, was a group of little boys play ing in the grass-plot outside.

A WORD FOR THE LADIES. ; The Eoglish women are healthy in body, and, of course, in mind. Sickly sentimental ism, and a "rosewater philanthropy," which expends itself over French romances and arti ficial flowers, novo°. lot nor portion in their characters.. They are women ; add their chil dren are.worthy of them, for they are rosy cheeked,ot stout muscle and nimble gait,ol lino health and appetite. The reason of all this is that the English women exercise more in the open air than our women do. An'English wo man of refinement thinks nothineol walking •half . a dozen .miles nothing of riding on horseback twenty; nothing of leaping on the back I of a trusty animal and jumping hedges and ditches in pursuit of game. I remember once being at William and Mary Howitt's when some of them proposed that we should make a little lamily visit to Epping Forest, distant some four or five miles. The thought never entered my head that they proposed going on loot.: As we crossed over the threshold of the door I was I expecting the next moment to help the two ladies making our party into the carriage; but I saw no carriage; and when tolled where was the carriage, I got for a reply, f‘ We are going on foot, of course !" And so we walk ed all the way there, and rambled all the day long over the beautiful forest, and at night walked backed to " The Elms." I kept looking at the ladies while we were retura iog; expecting to see them - taint away, and fivally. when we all sat down on the green sward for a moment; I ventured very quietly to aslone.of them-- "Are you not very red I" I got fora replya merry ringing laugh and a "To be sure not; I could walk half a dozen miles farther yet!" When I got home, I was so fatigued as to be 'unable to stand without great pain and trouble, and was obliged to acknowledge that the En glish ladies were my superiors' in physical powers of endurance, I saw at once the se• cret of their glorious health, their buoyancy and flow of spirits. It was their habits of exercise our of doors. _ . I was once conversing with an English lady, who was near eighty years old—the mother of a distinguished writer—upon this capital habit of walking *lath the ladies of England have,- when she broke forth with ." When I was a young woman, and in the country, I used to walk ten miles to church on a Sunday morning, and back again after service !" Another cause of the bril liant health of English women is their nat ural love for horticultuie. An English lady is at home in her garden among the flowers, and I know of no more beautiful sight in the world than that of a fair, open-browed, rosy cheeked woman among a garden full of choice plants and gorgeous lowers. Talk of your ' merry creatures in hot drawing-rooms, " by the light of the chandelier " to the marines ! Here is beauty fresh from God's hand and Nature's—here are human flowers and those of Nature blooming together. THE LIPS. Leigh Hunt says of those'who have thin lips, and are not shrews or niggards,l must here give as my opinion, foundd on what I have observed, that lips become more or less contracted in the course of years, in proportion as they are accustomed to ex press good humor and generosity or peevish ness or a contracted mind. Remark the ef fect which a moment of ill-humor and grudg bigness has upon the lips, add judge what may be expected _ from an habitual series of such moments. Remark the reverse and Make a similar judgment. The mouth is the frankest part of the face : it can the least conceal its sensations. We can hide neither ill-temper with it nor good ; we may affect what we please, affectation will not help us in a wrong cause, it will only make our ob servers 'resent the endeavor to impose upon them. The mouth is the seat of one class of emotions as the eyes are of another; or, ra ther, it expresses the same emotions, but in greater detail, and with a more irrepressible tendency to be in motion. It is the region of smiles and dimples, and of trembling ten derness; of sharp-sorrow, of a full breath ing joy, of candor, of reserve, of a carking care, of a liberal sympathy. The mouth, out of its many sensibilities, may be fancied throwing up one great expression to the eyes —as many lights in aeity reflect a broad lus tre into the heavens ; on the other hand, the eyes may be supposed the chief movers, in fluencing, the smaller details of their compa nion, as heaven influences earth. The first cause of both is internal and deep, seated. THE SECRET " I noticed," said Franklin, " a mechanic among a number of others, at work on a house erected but a little way from my office, who always appeared to be in a merry hu mor, who had a kind word and a cheerful smile for every one he met., Let the day be ever so cold, gloomy, or sunless, a happy smile danced like a sunbeam on his cheerful countenance. Meeting hid one morning, I asked him to tell me the secret of his con stant happy flow of spirits." " No secret, Doctor," he-replied, " I have got one of the best of wives, and when I go to work, she always has a kind word of en couragement for me, and when I go home she meets me with a smile and a kiss; and then tea is sure to be ready, and she has done so many little things through the day to please me, that I cannot find it in my heart to speak an unkind word 'to anybody."— What an influence, then, bath woman. over the heart of man, to soften it, and make it the•fountain of cheerful and pure emotions. Speak gently, then, a happy smile and a kind word of greeting, after the toils of the day are over, cost nothing, and go, far toward making a home happy and peaceful. ijistorical. RESULTS FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS Berthold Schwartz% according to common report, having, in some of his experiments in alchemy, put into common mortar a mix ture of saltpetre and other combustible ma terials, accidentally dropped in a spark,when he was astonished to see the pestle fly off in to the air. This incident furnished two ideas —that of the increased power of gun pow der when confined, and that of its applicabil ity to the propulsion of heavy bodies. -These two simplelideas, carried out into practice, produced guns, large and small, and revolu tionized the entire system of war. The 'vibrations of the lid of an iron tea kettle gave the first hint of the expansive power of steam. This hint, followed out through innumerable experinients finally ended in the modern steam engine, which is fast revolutionizing the mode of both land and water carriage. The first idea of our modern railways—' and it is a very simple idea—came from a mine near Newcastle, England. The plan occurred to some one of ‘, laying rails of timber exactly straight and parallel ; and bulky carts were made with four rollers fit ting those rails, whereby the carriage was made sd easy, that one horse would draw four or five chaldrons of coal.". Thus coal was conveyed from the mines to the bank of the river Tyne. This mode was in practice in 1676: how much easlier, is not known to us, probably to-no one ; for, though a great idea, it was like most other great ideas, tho't of little account at the time of its origin.— Like Columbus' method of making an egg 'stand on the big end by jarring it so as to break the shell, it was thought to be too sim ple to deserve any praise. Neverthelesuit of this simple idea sprang one hundred and fifty years afterwards the modein railway. It had been noticed by chemists, that flame cannot be made to pass through 'a tube of small diameter. In the hands of Sir Hum phrey Davy, this fact,grew into the miners' safety lamp, which fias saved the lives of thousands, The magnet , had been for centuries a play ing thing in Europe. At last its property, when freely suspended, of taking a north and south : position was noticed, an applied to navigation. This resulted in the discove ry of America. The power of the sun's rays to discolor cer tain 'substances, had-long been known. In the hands of Daguerre, this great fact grew into .a most beautiful and perfect method of taking miniatures. From Volta's simple pile, to Morse's mag netic telegraph, what a stride! yet this stride is only the carrying out into practice of cer tam. very simple properties of galvanism and magnetism. So we might go on to enumerate the in stances in which a very simple idea has end ed in mighty results.—Ohio Observer. • PHILIP AND THE ARGIVE. Arcadius. an Argive, was incessantly mil ling at Philip of Macedon. Venturing once into the dominions of Philip, the courtiers reminded their prince that he had now an op portunity to punish Arcadius for his past in solence, and to put it out of his power to re poat them. The 'king, however, Instead of seizing the hostile stranger and putting him to death, dismissed him loaded with courte sies and kindness. Some time after Arcadi us' departure from Macedon, word was brought.that the king's , old enemy was be come D i rt' of his warmest friends, and did no thing but diffuse his praises wherever he went. On hearing this, Philip turned to his courtiers andasked, with a smile--4 , Am I not a better physician than you !" , A MEDICAL WRITER in England is endeavoring to prove that salt was the " for hidden fruit," and that if it was no longer used by the human- race, " their beauty, bodily perfection and power of mind " would exceed any era before known in the world. ..,- lritifititoritOtiti: - In external appearance and Construction of expressions, a liindoo ; letter is worthy of. no tice. It is written on ; plain-leaf, with an iron stile, four to six inches tong, and sharp pointed at the . end. In writing neither chair nor table is needed, the leaf being supported on the middle finger of the left hand, and kept steady with the rhamb and forefinger. The right hand does not, as with us, move along the surface,'but after finishin%,, a few words, the writer fixes the point of the iron in .the last letter. and pushes the leaf from right to left, so that he may finish his line. This becomes so easy by long, practice, that one often sees a ilindoo writing as he walks the streets. As this species of penmanship is but a kind of faint engraving, the strokes of whieh are indistinct, they make the char acter legible by besmearing the leaf with an ink-like fluid. A letter is generally finished on a single leaf, which is then enveloped in a second, whereon is written the address. In communicating the decease of- a relative, the custom is to singe thepoint of the leaf upon which the afflicting news is written. When a superior writes to an interior, he puts his own name before that of the person to whom he writes, and the reverse when he writes o a superior. NO.' 18. Recent arrivals from Europe bring some gratifying, results of curious experiments, which have been made at the London Poly technic Institution, to test the results of the recent invention of Dr. Bachoffner, which consists in the substitution of thin pieces of metal in the place of coals in' fire grates, which being acted upon by a small jet of gas immediately become red hot, and emit a prodigious degree of heat. The flame which, is produced by the gas, co-operating with the metaltc lumina?, gives the appearance of a brisk and cheerful coal fire, and can scarcely be distinguished from it. The heat can be regulated by turning the cock , Of the gas tube. There is nAleposit of soot, no smoke, or any of the annoyances which attend coal fires,and the gas can be extinguished instant ly, or the fire kept as low as may be conve nient. This useful invention is of general interest, and not only as affects private hons -es,,-but as affects manufactoies, and all pla ces where large fires are required, and by its adoption the use of enor ous chimneys might be dispensed with, as no smoke is ge nerated. The expense, with the gas now used for lighting, would render a fire on this new principle about the same expense Ili if coals were employed, but, where what is termed non-carbonized gas is employed, a great diminution of expense would be ob tained. A New Zealand chief, having been cony* ted by the powerful arguments of a mission ary, requested, after the meeting was over, to be admitted to the christian church. 41- ter a short conversation, the niissionary covered a serious obstacle in the path of the new convert—he was encumbered with nine wires. This objection was stated to him, and he was advised to retain one of them and make some suitable provision for - the others. Disappointed in his first efforts towards chris nanny, the aspirant for the church walked off with a thoughtful countenance, and was. not seen again for a month or more, when' he came again to the missionary, and with a joyful air, proclaimed himself a suitable can didate for admission to the church. " But your wives ?" said the clergyman. " Ah, me have only one wifaitiowi.' " What pro vision have you made for th 6 others?" "Ah, me make berry fine provision," said the con- Vert, smacking his lips,—" me eat the other eight !" Of 'utilise the church was too lull at that time.—Beston Carpet Bag. UINDOO LETTERS.

Not seldom have our hearts been pained to see your , men manifesting in the house of God a total want of that reverent -demeanor and attention to the service vhich.is befitting the audience-chamber of the Deity.

Man reaches his maximum of weight about the age,of 40, and he begins to waste in a sensible manner about the age of 60 ; at the age of SO he has lost 16 lbs. His height has also diminished about 2 7-10th inches:. Woman attains - her maximum of weight later than man ; she weighs the most about the age of 50 years. Setting out from about the age of 19. the development of her weight is nearly stationary until. the period of pro creation is passed. Her 'height diminishes in about the same ratio as man's.
