Magliabecchi, the learned libi,rian to ithe
Duke of TuScany, -- on- the contrary, never
stirred abroad, but lived amidst books end
upon books. They were his bed, board, and
wastmg. He gassed eight-and-forty years
in their midst, only twice in the course of
his life venturing beyondthe walls of Flor

other time three and a half leagues, by order
of the Grand Duke. He was an extremely
frugal man, living upon eggs, bread and wa

Luther, when studying, always had i his
dog lying at his feet ; a dog he had brotight 1
from Wartburg, and of which be was very
fond.- An ivory , crucifix stood on tla table
before him, and the walls of his surly were
stuck round with caricatures of the Pope.—
He worked at his desk for days together
without going out ; but when fatigued, ;sad
the ideas began to stagnate in his brain; he
would take his flute or his guitar with him
into the porch, and there execute some mu
sical fantasy . . (for he was a skillful musician)
when the ideas would flow upon him as
fresh as flowers after summer's rain. - Mu
sic was his invariable'solace at such times.
Indeed Luther did not hesitate to say that,
after theology, music was the first of arta.—
" Music," said he, " is the art of the pro
phets ; it is the only other art which,like
theology, can calm the agitation of the tioul,
and put the Devil to flight." Next to music,
if not before it, Luther loved children Sand
flowers. That great gnarled man had a heart
as tender as a woman s.
Calvin studied in his bed. Every morning,.
at five or six o'clock, he had books, manu
scripts, and papers carried to him there and
he worked on for hours together. If he, bad
occasion to go out, on his return he undress
ed and went to bed again to continue, his
studies. In his later years he 'dictated his
writings ,to secretaries. He rarely corrected
anything. The sentences issued complete
from his mouth. If he felt his facility of
composition leaving him, he forthwith quit
ted his bed, gave up writin g and composing
and went about his out-door dutierotor tlays,
iteeks and months together. But as 'soon
as he felt the inspiration fall upon him again,
he went back to his bed, and - his secretary
set to work forthwith.

ROMAN. ATTACHMENT.
Amonm!theeat number of persons who
,
were proscri bedunder the second triumvir
ate of Bottle, were the celebrated Cicero and
his broth'er Quintus. - When the news of
the persetution was brought to 'them, they
endeavored to make their escape to Brutus
in Mac on. They travelled together for
some Unite, mutually condoling their bad
fortune; but, as their departure bad, been
very percipitate, and they were not furnish
ed with money and other necessaries for the ,
voyage, it was agreed that Cicero should
make what baste he could to the sea side to
secure their passage, and that Quintus should
return hoine to make more ample provision.
But as in#tost-houses there are as many in
formers as domestics, his return was imme
diately made known, and the house, in conse
quence, filled with soldiers and assassins.—
Quintus Ooncealed himself so effectually, the
soldiers could not find him. Enraged at their
disappointment, they put his son to tot ture,
in order to make him disclose the place of
his father's concealment ; filial affection was
proof in this young Roman against the ex
quisite torments. An, involuntary sigh, and
sometimes a deep groan, were all that could
be extorted from the generous youth. His
agonies were increased, but, with astonish
ing fortitude, he still persisted in his resolu
tion not! to betray his father. Quintus was
I not far off, and it may better be imagined
than it can be expressed, bow the heart of a
father must have been affected with the
sighs and groans of his son expiring in tor
ture to save his hie. He could bear it no
longer, but quitting the place of his conceal
ment, he presented himself to the assassins,
beseeching them with a flood of tears, to put
him to death, and dismiss the innocent child,
wlpse generous behaviour the triumvirs
thernselles,' if informed of the tact, would
judge worthy of the highest approbation and
re*ard. The inhuman monsters however;
unmoved by the tears of a son, answered
that both must die—the father because he
was prOscribed, and the son because he had
concealed his father. Upon this a new con
test of tenderness arose, who should die first,
which, however, the assassins soon decided
by beheading them both at the same time.
; THE KEY OF DEATH.
In. the colleciion of curiosities preserved in
the arsenal at Venice, there is a key,of which
the following singular tradition is related :
Abouf the year 1690, one of those danger
ous men, in whom extraordinary talent is the
only fearful source of crime and wickedness•
beyond ihat of ordinary men, came to estab
lish himself as a merchant or trader in •Ve
nice. he stranger, whose name was Ta
'
baldo, Ipcame enamored of the daughter of
an ancient house, already affianced to ano
ther. He demanded her in marriage, and
was of , course fejecreEnraged ...at this.
he studied how to be revenged. Prokindly I
skilled in the mechanical arts, he allowed
himself no rest until he had invented the
most formidable weapon which-could be im
agined.; This mita key of large siXe - , 'the
handle of which was so constructed that it
could be turned round with difficulty. When
turned, lit disclosed a spring, which, on pres
sure, ldunched from the other end a needle
or lancet, of such subtle fineness that -it en
tered into the flesh, and buried itself there
without leaving any external trace, Tabal
do wailed, in disguise, at the door of the
church in which the maiden whom he loired
was abut to receive the nuptial benediction.
The assassin sent the slender steel, unper
ceived,into the breast of the bridegroom.—
The wounded man /had no suspicion of in
jury, but seized will a sudden and sharp
pain in: the midst of the ceremony, he fain
ted, and was carried to his house amid the
lamentations of the bridal party. Vain was
the skill of the physicians, who could not di
vine the cam of his strange illness, and in
a few days be died.
Tabaldo again demanded the hand of the
maiden} of her parents, and received a second
refusal. They too perished miserably in a
few d,iys. The maiden, thus cruelly orphan
ed, had passed the first month of her mour
ning in a convent, when Tabaldo, hoping to
_ bend ti l er to his will, entreated to speak with
her at the gate. This she refused. Tabal
do, beilide himself with rage, determined to
wound her through the gate, and at last suc
ceedeCtr The obscurity of the place preven
ted hismovementfrom being discovered. The
maiden soon felt a pain in her brcast, and
uncovering it, she found it ;spotted with a
single' drop of blood. The pain gradually
increased ; and the surgeons who hastened to
her aslsistence, taught by the past, wasted no
time in conjecture but immediately cutting
deep into the wounded part, extracted the
needlo before any mortal mischief had com
menced, and thus saved the life of the young
lady. !, The visit of Tabaldo to the convent
caused suspicion to fall heavily upon him.—
Accordingly his dwelling was carefully sear
ched, and the infamous invention was found
in his possession. Tabaldo subsequently. per

TURNING THE TABLES.
A Vary singular experiment has just been
introduced to the notice of some of our young
follts,c, and the result are quite mysterious.
We will explain it, as seen in a dozen cases,
and leave it to our savans to explain the why
and 'wherefore. A common table, with a
smooth surface, is placed in the middle of
a room, and three, four, or half a' dozen
persons, according to the size of the table;
seat themselves around it. Each places his
rightihand with the palm down, flat on the
table; and leis his left hand on the right
handy of the person seated on his left—thus
forming a sort of chain, the left hand not
touching the table. In about 251 minutes
the table will begin to turn from! right to
lett, 'and will continue to do so, 'rip long as
the patties retain their hands in.: - the posi
tion unheated. This is no hoax: We have
seen!the thing done, under every precau
non to prevent trick, and always with the
same result. The table seems to move with
out any. volation of those around it, and
even' when a slight retrogade force is exer
ted. By pressing heavily upon the table,it
may be stopped. The reason of the mo
tion is what puzzles us. Is there a muscular
force unconsciously exerted: i r Electricity,
and all that sort of thing, seems out of the
queStion. Perhaps the spiritual rappers can
explain it. As a singular and amusing thing,
we Suggest the experiment to such of our
readers as are of "inquiring minds."—Read

The New York Tribune says :—Singnlar
results are obtained in this city from 'a very
simple application of the nervous fluid, ani

to brute matter. Let a party-of six or eight
persons sit around a common pine table for
twenty minutes to half an hour with the
palias of the hands flat on the top of the ta

conversation be suspended; but presently the
table becomes so charged with the mysteri

from it, push away your chairs, still holding

stops. This simple experiment may be easi•

with a table that is not too heavy, is pretty

AN ' ERECT POSITION.
A writer on• health very justly condemns
the habit of lounging, in which a large num
ber of persons indulge, as injurious' to health.
Ile says :—An erect bodily attitude •is of
vastly more importance.. to health, than peo
ple generally imagine. Crooked bodily, po
sitions,maintained for any length of time,
Are always injurious, whether in the sitting,
standing, or lying posture, whether sleeping
or walking. To sit with the body leaning
forward on the stomach, or to one side, with
the heels elevated to a level with the head,
is not only in bid taste, but exceedingly de•
trimental to health. It cramps the stomach,
presses the vital organs, interrupts the free •
motions of the chest, enfeebles the functions
of the abdominal and thoratic orgatie, and in
fact, unbalances the whole mdiscolar systerri.
