They wouldn't hare to work half so hard if you would. . Look at that showman' red face ; what makes him blush so, father? I don't know, my daughter, unless it is because he is a Good Templar who is on a strike, or about to join the larger beer drinkers' eight hour movement. His face looks like a piece of raw beef Yes, that's a fact, and come to think of it, that's why be walks up and down before the animal cages so as to make them hungry and keep them in good coudition. Look, Imogene, what an elegant shade of green on that parrot's tail ; I would give the world to have a dress of that shade, and gloves and parasol to. match. That's a pelican, dearest, that bird with the gaitor, in the little cage on your left. The thing that looks like a swelling, or as if it had the mumps, 'tis the pouch where it lays its eggs and carries its young until they are old enough to cut bait aud fish for themselves. How does it lay eggs in there? That's more than I know. Naturalists state tbat such is the fact, however, nd that, like the oppossum, it carries its young there until they can go it on their owu hook. I dou't believe you, Nathaniel, and I'm going to ask that showman. Mister, what is that bladder in under that bird's chin for ? That what's he uses as a life pre server, madam, when he is out fishing aud happens to wade into a deep hole that is over his head, which is not often, as yon will see by the length of them legs o' his'n.

' ; ' Living Thirty Years on Milk. ; - A letter froai Killiogley, Conn., to the Hartford Times, narrates the following : On a drive with some friends over Pomfret hills the other day we called on a singular character a man fifty years old,' who is deaf, dumb and blind. He was born deaf and blind. Whether be would have been dumb or not, if he had been blessed with sense of hearing, it is impossible to tell, but his glimmerings of intellect are evidently rather feeble. Where all the avenues of communication ! t . - 1. . V . I . 1 , , - n out me teues oi loucn are cioseu, it in tellect exists it will mauifest itself as in the case of Julia Brace.' This man is well developed, physically is of ordinary height, has a stout, thick oeck, and looks strong and robust; and here comes in an interesting fact for physiologists and those who make a study of health in connection with diet. . This man has never eaten anything but milk ; has never tasted water,- nor a particle of any tood but milk. Thirty years on clear milk, and with a neck like an ox and ap parently a muscular system to correspond, Can we say now that milk is for babes and calves onlv. and not for strong men ? This man had a full set of stronir double o teeth clear round,' and every one of them had to be pulled out as he tore his clothes to pieces with them. As he didn't need them to chew his milk with, he probably thought he must make some use of them, as they were evidently made for some thing, and his clothcS furnished excellent material on which to exercise them. 1 " Another peculiarity of this strange be ing is that through all bis Ions life he has chewed a rajj or rather, I should say, has gummed it since his strong teeth were taken from him. From infancy, his mother "has had' to place a rag iu his month as soon as he has taken his food. I asked her what he would do if she omitted it. She said he would jrive her no peace till she put it back. He dis tinguishes strangers from the neighbors and those who have visited him before. I took hold of his hand, and he took it in both of his aud seemed to be consider ing ; then passed his hand up the length of my arm, aud theu patted his bead and chest, and made a singular guttural noise. I'asked his mother what these manifesta tions indicated i She said , that was his way of expressing joy or showing that he was pleased. Ilia principal enjoyment gee in s to consist in having his mother get through with her work, and sit down by bis side. He has a swing in the room, in which he spends a good part of the time swing ing. Sometimes, when his mother steps out, he. will lock, the door so that she can't get back again, which shows that he hag some wit about him, or trickery at least. He is always very wakeful at night, and rouses lib mother out of bed many tiaies a night. She says she bus lived thus without a good, night's rest for thirty years, with the exceptiou of Saturday aud Suudy nights. , Evey Saturday night he calms down like a lamb, and keeps that night and all the Suuday alter tho strict letter of the old "Blue Laws" of Connecticut. I don't suppose he would venture to kiss his mother on tbat day. Evidently the spirit of Cotton Mather takes possession of him then aud rules triumphantly till Monday morning. A valvablc bed of coal has been dis covered iu Albany township, Berks coun- ty. A Clever Swindler. The following is from Mayer's as it wis' . . v Mexico As a certain learned Judge in Mexico, some time since, walked one mommr into court, he thought he would examine whether he was in time for business, and feeling for his repeater, found that it was not in ins pocket. , s " As, usual," said he; to a friend who accompanied; him, as he passed through the crowd near the door.'. 'as usual. I have again left my. watch at home under my pillow." 4IIe took ' nis" seat on the ' bench' nnrl thought no more of it. ,J " -i' ' '-' " : The court adjourned, and he returned home., j. As soon as he was quietly seated i his parlor; he bethought him of .his time piece, and turning to his wife, re quested her to send for it in their clum- I r. i uur. - "F,ut. mv dear. " said cbo ; "T Unt : u: tn " 1 J :r . i ihmn k "You sent it to me, my dear ? Certainly i not "Unquestionably," she replied, "and by the person you sent for it." 'ihe person I seut for it? echoed the Judge... !, . ...... "Precisely, my dear, the very person you sent for it. You had not left home more than an hour when a well dassed man knocked at ' the doer and asked to see roe He broarrht one of the finest turkey3 I "ever saw, and said that on your way, to court you met'au Indian. with a number of fowls. Having, bought this one at a barcain. vou had triven him a ' C3 couple of reals to bring it home, with tho request that I would have it killed. and put to cool, as you intended to invite your brother judge to a dish of molle with you to-morrow., And "Oh, by the way, senorita, said he, 'his excellency the judge requested me to ask you to "ive yourself the trouble to go to your cham ber and take his watch from nnder the pillow, where be says he left it as usual, this morning, and send it to him by me.' ten oi course, mo quircdo, I did so. . "lou did !" said the judge. . "Certainly," said the lady. "Well," replied his honor, "all I can say to you, my dear, is that you are as zrcat a goose as tho bird is a turkey. You've been robbed, ! madame ; the man was a thtet ; 1 never sent for mv wateb you ve been imposed upon, and as ; a . . . . . ' necessary conseouence. the watch is lost forever." . . The trick. was a cunning one : and after a laugh, and the restoration of the Judge's good humor by a good dinner, it was resolved actually to have the turkey for to morrow's dinner, and his honor's brothers of the bench to enjoy so dear a morsel. 1 - ! - : 1 Accordingly, at the adjournment of the court next day, they all repaired to his dwelling, with appetites sharpened by the expectation oi a repast. Scarcely had they entered the house and exchanged the ordinary salutations, when the lady broke forth with congratul- ations to his honor upon the recovery of his stolen watch "How h:ippy I am, that the villian was apprehended," she said. "Apprehended !" exclaimed the Jude, with surprise. "You are talking riddles," replied be.-- "Explain yourself, my dear, I know nothing-of the, thief, watch, or conviction. . .n-. . -.; - "It can't be possible that I have been neain deceived," quoth the lady ; ""but this is the story : 'About ' one o'cock to day, a pale and rather interesting young gentleman, dressed in a seedy suit of black, came to the house in great haste almost out of breath. He said that he was just from court , that he was one of the clerks ; that the great villain who had the audacity to steal your honor's watch had just been arrested ; that the evidence wa3 nearlv perfect to convict bim and all that was re quired to complete it was the turkey. which must be brought into court, and for that he had been sent with a porter by your express orders." '.'And you gave it to him ?" lOf course I did. Who should have doubted him, or resisted tho orders of a judge." "Watch and turkey both gone ! Pray madame, what are we to do for a dinner ?" But the , lady had taken care of her guests, notwithstanding her simplicity, and the pary enjoyed both the joke aud their viands. . .. t WHAT WE BREATHE. A full seized man take3 into his lungs at each breath about a half a pint of air ; while in ther-5, all the life-nutriment is extracted from it; and, on its being scut out of the body, it is so entirely destitute of life uivin power, that if re breathed into the lungs again, without the admix ture of any pure air, the individual would suffocate, would dia in sixty seconds. As a man breathes about eighteen times a a minute, and a pint at each breath, lie m l consumes over two hogs heads of air every hour, or aoout sixteen hogsheads durin the eight hours of sleep ; that is, if a man were put . in a room, which would hold sixteen hogsheads of air, he would, dar ing eight hours sleep, extract from it every atom of life nutriment, and would die at the end of the eight hours, even if each breath could be kept to itself nro vided uo aircuuie in tho room from with out. a-.'j iEra,jWtf.ii. .j um jj jumm m What is Long; Island ? George Alfred Townscnd thus tersely answers the above question, in a recent letter to the Chicago Tribune : Long Island has land, harbors, resour ces, and capital enough to make a great maritime Republic. It is divided into only three counties, of i which Kings, the seat of-Brooklyn City, is only twelve miles by seven, and yet. contains 420,000 people; while Suffolk, which comprises two-thirds of the island, and is 100 miles by 20, contains only;45,000.., The middle county of Queens has 70,000 people.- The county, seats are Brooklyn, Hempstead and Riverhead. , Here, then, are 535,000 people, or more than in Arkansas, or Delaware, or Florida, or Kansas, or Minnesota, or Nebraska, or Nevada, or New Hampshire, or Oregon, or Rhode Island, or Vermont, or West Virginia. All our territories added togther do not equal the population of Long Island. . It A. 1 ' . ' t . is iwcivc, times greater m souis than Nevada, but it never expects to get even one United States Senator. The old eastern county of Suffolk has been fifty years doubling its inhabitants, Queens county twenty. Kings only twelve. ; In ; the first year of Washington's Presidency, Suffolk had thrice the population of! Kings, and one sixth more than Queens. I In fact, then had half as many people as New .York City and county. Long Island which propbly many people havo regard ed as . a sort of Cape Cod or Florida, is one eighth of the State of New York in men and women, and almost equal in population to Connecticut, which faces it across the Sound. The ridge of hills of Long Island dis tinguish it from low-lying peninsulas like New Jersey and Delaware ; it seems to have been broken from the solid land by an earthquak, and the ocean poured in the furrow of the earthquake to make the Sound ; for the rocks here are general ly identical with those on the opposite mainland. .The ends of the island are high and bold, 80; feet at Montauk, 200 near the narrows, and there are pinnacles of rock and turf 320 feet high, and of saud and rock higher than 100 feet. The ocean side of the island has a sound which is a miniature of that to the north, naviga ble for light-draught vessels, and protected troni the ocean by a bar of sand. Long Island is a fish shaped land, with its populous head stuck into New York city, one fluke of its tail at Montauk, 120 miles away to the notheast ; the other fluke, ravels out into Plum, Gull and Fisher's Islands.'. A bay pierces between the uukes for more than thirty miles which is very broad and gusty, and nearly closed, midway in, by Shelter Island, which contains 8,000 acres of good land. Outside of this island is Gardiner's Bay ; inside are Pcconic Bays, great and nttie. , . : CARE OF HORSES. Ihe London Jtorsc Boole says : All horses must not be fed iu the same pro puriiouis, wiinout: rcgaru io ineir ages, their constitutions, and their work ; be cause the impropriety of such practice is self evident. Yet it is constantly done, aud is the basis oi diseases of every kind. Never use bad hay on account its cheapness, because there is no proper nourishment in it. . . Damaged corn is exceedingly . injur ious, it brings on inflammation of . the bowels and skin diseases. ' ' ' 't Chaff is better for old horses than hay, because they can chew and digest it bet ter. . . ; t . ; ; a - ;.,- Mix chaff with corn or beans, and do not give the latter alone, because it makes the horse chew his food more and digest it better. Hay or grass alone will not support a horse under hard work, because there is uot sufficient nutritive body in either. When a horse is worked hard, its food should, chiefly be oats if not worked hard, its food should chiefly be bay be cause oats supply more nourishment and flesh making material than any other kind of food : hay not so much. For a saddle or coach horse, half a peck of sound oats and eightceu pounds of good hay are sufficient. If the hay is not good, add a quarter of a peck more oats. A horse which works harder may have rather more of each ; one that works lit tle should have less. Back feeding is wasteful. The better plan is to Iced with chopped hay, from a manger, because the food i3 not then thrown about, and is more easily chewed and digested. Sprinkle the hay with water that baa salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasin" to the auimal s taste, and more easily di- ested. - A teaspoouful of salt iu a buck et of water is sufficient. i Oats should be bruised for an old horse. but not for a young one, because the for mer through age and defective teeth, can not chew them properly j the young horse cau uo. so, and they arc thus properly mixed with' the saliva and turned iuto wholesome nutriment.

How Gas is Made for Gas Lights. It must interest us to known the pfr ccss of making an article so extensively used in our cities, and we herewith pub lish a sort of gas catechism, which con veys a good ,deal of important "light" to the juvenile mind on this subject: . "How do they make gas ?" "First, they put about two bushels of bituminous coal in a long, air tight" re tort. This retort is heated red hot, and, of course, the coal is heated red hot, when the gas bursts out of it, : as you see it burst out of lumps of -coal when on tho parlor fire. The gas passes off through the pipes. A ton of coal will 'make 10, 000 cubic feet of gas. .The gas,- as it leaves the coal, is very impure." "How do they purify it?" "First, while hot, it is run off into an other building, then it is forced through long, perpendicular pipes, surrounded! with cold water. This cools the gas, when a good deal of tar condenses from it, aud runs down the bottom of the per pendicular pipes. This tar is ihe ordi nary tar which you see boiliog in tho streets for walks and roofs. "They now wash the ga3. They call it scrubbing it. "This is done by filling a large vesse?, which looks like a perpendicular steam boiler, half full of wood laid crosswise. Theu ten thousand streams of cold water arc spurted through this boiler. Through the mist and rain, aud betwecu the we5 sticks of wood, the ga3 passes, coming out washed and cleansed. The ammoniac condcuscs, joins the water and falls to the bottom." ' "What next?" "Well, next the gas is purified. It is passed through vats of lime and oxide of iron, which take out the carbolic acid and ammonia." "What next?" "The gas is now pure. It is passed! through the birr station meter, then through the mains and pipe3, till it reach es the gas jet in your room. Then it burns, while you all scold because it didVf burn better. - Men who win Women. God has so made the sexes that wo men, like children, cling to men lean upon them as though they were superior in mind and body.. They make them toe suns of their system, and they make their children revolve around them. Men aro godsif ' they but knew it, and women burn incense at their shrines. Women, therefore, who have good minds and pure hearts wanted men to lean upon. Think of their revcrenciug a drunkard, a liar or libertine. If a man would have a woman do him .homage, he must be manly in every sense ; a true gentleman, not after the Chesterfield school, but polite, becauso his heart is full of , kindness to all ; one who treats her. with respect, even defer ence, because she. is a woman ; who never condescends to say silly things to her; who brings her up to bis level, if his miud is above hers ; who is never oveY anxious, to please but always anxious to do right ;who has no time to be frivolous with her. Always dignified in speech and act; who never spends too much up on her; never yields to temptation, even if she puts it in his way; who is ambi tious to make his mark in the world, whether she encourages him or not; who is uevcr familiar with her to tho extent of being an adopted brother or cousin : who is not over-careful about dress r al ways pleasant and considerate, but al ways keeping his place of the man. the head, and never losing it.
