We cannot judge from the exter nal who is the most West. It may be the beggar in the street, the hunger pinched needle-woman, the forsaken outcast, the doomed tailor, or the infidel dying of an in curable malady. Happiness of the mind— the kingdom of joy within. An apparent evil may be a joy in disguise. Our knowl edge is limited. What we decide upon hast ily it still undecided. All things are man tled with mystery. All wisdom casts differ ent shades when viewed from different points. All troth has paradoxical sides, AH minds have their fata morgana—their hazy atmos phere—their world of mental mirage. The deformed girl is sick now. Her sick ness is mortal. Before the spring months come, she will escape from her bodily prison, and that part which is immortal will be in the realm of her hopes. She has been cared for end made comfortable, so far as practical.— She will suffer no more from unkind treat ment.. I shall note her footsteps down' into the dust—not op to the clouds. She is re joined at the prospect of dissolution; Her faith may well cast shame on older poisons and deeper pretenders to piety. ' And the deformed girl has nothing to fear. She will pass joyful onto him whosaid, “SuA fer little children to comsunto roe.” It is not ollen that mirage is seen in tem perate climates unless upon deserts. But a recent instance of this phenomenon was Seen at Buffalo, upon Lake Brie, it is an optical illusion arising from an unequal refraction of the atmosphere it its lower strata,causing oh; jecis to be seen double, as if refleeted in a mirror or suspended in the air. In deserts cities, trees, and water frequently apper in (he distance, inviting (he weary, thirsty traveler to comfort and rest, but upon bis approach they melt into air end disappear from bit vis ion. In regard to the illusion upon Lake Erie, the Buffalo Democracy says: “A peculiar appearance was presented in the atmosphere over the lake on Saturday morning'' the like of which had never been noticed before by those accustomed to daily intercourse with all the beauties and tenon peculiar to oar waters. At an early hour, some gentlemen, looking out upon the bay, discovered the top hamper and loflier sails of a vessel apparently rising front (he surface of tbs water, the hull and towter mskt being en tirely invisible.

This lasted for about half an hour, and most of us bad returned to ibe shore and were dressing, when a new feature was given to the scene by one of the number saying that “he.was going to wash his shin,” Now, most of us bad worn (his peculiar garnjpu, two, three and four wqeks, andeome even longer, without their having been once washed, and there is on doubt of their needing it very much; for, mind you, the man in .those days who could afford two ahirts—whole shirts—was a curiosity. The idea, therefore, was.a good one, and many immediately began disrobing themselves again, and soon were as busy as washer* women, rubbing away like fulling-mills. As the pieces were finished they were hung in t he. sun on the limbs-of trees, er spread out on tbs grass. .Many were still engaged in their washing; some were stretched on the ground in deep sleep, some were wrestling, some jumping, some collected in knots,telling stories; near ly all naked as they were born.; in fact, as fellows could be, with one shirt,and that dry ing in the sun, and but a morsel in the knap sack, when we were startled—yee, indeed, really frightened—by a volley of musketry, the balls of which whistled by us, fortunate ly only making a few slight flesh wounds. The sound of musketry, although -it sur prised us at first, we were too much accus tomed lo bearing to remain long under a pan ic, so, the nest moment found each man in possession oMtis musket, and himself covered by a tree. We had not long to wait, before a large body of British broke through the un derbrush, which bad before concealed them, and rushed with fixed bayonets upon us. But their progress was suddenly checked by our fire, which laid a large number dead before ua. We bad no time lo reload, when the enemy again charged down upon us, and we were forced to give way. We ran some dis tance, reloaded and stood our ground. Up to this lime we had not thought of the condi tion we were io, when one of the officers cried out; "Boys will you lose your shirts 1” (then casting our eyes around quickly, we gave a shout, “Now for our shirts!’.’ and rushed forward like so many naked devils. Aaaoon os the British came to our view we poured in a well directed fire, and immedia tely charged with the bayonet, So suddenly. bad this movement been made that, supposing that we were still running the other way, they tyere completely surprised, and -then dime their time to run. .After them we shouted still with out new watchword “Shirts I” The officers of the enemy, having at length suc ceeded in securing the attention of the men, wheeled them and gave us a return fire, which killing as we supposed, seme of cur party, we again took to our heels; and the red-coats taking up. our cry of “Shirts I” came pell moll after us. Again we turnefinnd charged the British running, they in turn charging upon us, each party shouting “Skirts I’ 7 uni>l finally it became a regular “shirt-tail fight:’* At length becoming somewhat exasperated with the game, and constantly reminded of our shirts by the enemy screaming it io our ears, and, recollecting too, that we would cut a very aqtrrw figure returning to our quarters anas eutottet, Ore made one desperate charge; and finally succeeded in gaining the day by driving the British from the field, Seuerat of our party were wonuded but not kilted.- Not so with the British, Tho dead werescattered all over the little green space, aud through the woods, and putting on our garments, and leaving tbe.dead to be buried by their own people, vre took, .the circuitous route Which we had avoided in the mornmg.(foqr*y hay* ing been obliged to, fight a little haute) |pd reached foe camp about midnight, where we caused no foils merriment, and.,often after wards** we rawed , our adventure of foe "Chitt-foil fight.’* Was, Pakti!W¥<W advises all young pee* pie afflicted With preparatkm of the heart, to apply the cataract of mustard to draw out the information, and she says she neverknatron failure where this advice was followed. i !■ 111 tmr ~i~rn^rmf t -i I—w|a1 —w|a Cbildben, are raised in Japan with apul ley.

Instances have oc. curred in the present Europettn military ope, rations, where lose of life has been ascribed lo the influence of air acted upon By rapidly moving balls. In the selge of Vera Cruz, Major Vinton was said to have been killed in' this manner, no injury existing apparently produced from contact with the missile By which he lost his Hie; and an instance is giv. en in the idtordsof military surgery of a boy who was carrying a sand-bog upon his head, from which it'was knocked byattvobty-fbur lb. shot; He fell ■ senseless j laborious res piration, dilated pupils, incessant nausea and weak alow pulse continued for 34 hours, at the end of which time convulsions recurred and be died. A more rational explanation exists than lo attribute these easey to the ef fect of condensed air. A cannon ball in the first part of ila course moves in a right line. When the impulse received from the explo sion of the powder commences to abate other influences begin to act. The resistance cf the atmosphere and (he attraction of (he earth causes the ball lo revolve opon its own axis in addition to its forward impulse. If, with diminished velocity and the consequent rota, ry motion, the bait strikes on object, it is not carried away, as would be the case in the more rapidly moving portion of its coarse; but, in consequence of the curvilinear move*' raent it bas acquired, (urns around the object struck, or rolls over it like a wheel passing over a resting substance in its path. The ef fect produced resembles (bat resulting from the fall, upon a diving part, of a ponderous body which is arrested in its descent beforait has proceeded far enough to crush the object beneath it sufficiently to inflict faint contusion. The head is obviously the part most suscepti ble of receiving such severe injury in the ab-' senco of outward marks of violence. Thai a ball can be turned from its course by comparatively trivial obstacles. is often shown. A trifling inequality of surface or difference of density is sufficient to cause great divergence. An instance is known where a bullet entered on the side of the head, passed around beneath the scalp and lei) out upon the opposite side, as though it had passed di rectly through the brain. In another instance a bullet stnick the “Adam’s apple,” passed entirely round the mck and lodged in the ori fice by which it entered. A soldier being struck in the right arm, the ball was found beneath the akin of the opposite (high; nod in another, who was wounded in the an kle when running, the bullet was found above the jroeo. A soldier at Waterloo received a maskel-ball upon the nose, which split open the sharp edge of the bone. A part of the bullet waa immediately extracted, and ns Con tinental troops sometimes fire split balls, the other part not being found, this waa supposed to be such an instance. The man died opon the tenth day from bleeding at thenose and mouth, and on dissection. fho missing portion of the ball wos discovered imbed ded,l»y the side of the jugular vein, which hod inflamed] and burst. At (he same battle a pocket, con J taining two five-franc pieces and two copper coins,.was driven into the owner’s leg, nod and extracted after some days. Three pie ces of coin were removed from the leg of a Hanoverian soldier five days after the bailie. As he bad neither money nor pocket, they evidently come from a cotnrad who was killed beside him. The pain from a gun-shot wdbnd is said not to be severe, but Mr. Guthrie, a distinguished British surgeon, who served through the Peninsular war, and was himself woondefl, slates it otherwise. The pain be affirms, is like a dead, heavy blow, and it causes great mental disturbance. Dkbau of a Qdakee Lady.— There is a beautiful story told of a pious Quaker- lady, who was much adicted to smoking tobacco.— She had indulged herself in this habit until it bad increased so much upon her that she not only smoked her pipe a large portion of the day, but frequently sat up in bed forthis pur. pose in the night. After one of those noctur nal entertainments rite jell asleep,and dreamed Sho dietlaod approachd heaven. Meeting an angel, she baked him' if ber'name was writ ten in the book of life. He disappeared, but replied on returning, that be could not find it. •H),” said she.‘‘do |ook again—it roust be there.” He eiaroined again,, but returned' | with a sorrowful itece, shying that it was not , there. “Do look once more l" The angel •wee moved to lean , by her entreaties, and Sgain left her to renew his search. After a long absence he came back, his face radiant with joy, and exclaimed, “We have found it! but it was so clouded with tobacco smoke that We could hardly see it I” Ttte good woman, upon .waking, immediately threw her pipe ayray t aed pever indulged insmokiog a grin.

McO. of south Carolina was notorious foriis licen tious habits and for the absence of all preju dice against color. Some of bis children were not without traces of. (he extraordinary talent and brilliancy of their sire. One of them, born in his youth, as she grew up de veloped a strangeand fascinating beauty. Her, sparkling eye, her slight and gradpfiil figure a qoicknessand readiness*in conversation and an insinuating maoher, soon allured au ad mirer. A gentleman of Mobile purchased her—to gether with her mother, who was bought only for the sake of tho daughter—for seventeen hundred*dollars. That was at a time when the price of common slaves was much lower than it is now. fie onfqed a country seat in the vicinity of the city, where he had a wile and chiTdreo. The new, mulatto mistress he kept .id. the city. But soon the a Section at first ..divided cantered Wholly upon her. in stead of her being bia slave, he had become hen. At length he grew so enamored of her that ho gave himself tip entirely to the siogu, for infatuation and finally dipped with the beautiful mulatto—-she was but slightly tinged with color—leaving his wife and children. Southern people often laugh at what they consider , sqdeamishqess at the north upon such subjects. A few years since a great cry was raised about a public, man, who has since been President of the United States, for selling one of bis sons who was a stave. It was pronounced by his partisans a base libel A slave dealer who livedjn the immediate vi cinity of this told us that there could be no possibility of doubt about the pa ternity of the slave in question; that bp / sembled his father even more closely than did any of his whits sons. This same dealer said he had purchased not long before, from a northern man who was keeping a sort of seraglio in a slave state, an elegant mulatto servant at a mere nominal price, entirely on account of the mas. ter’s jealousy* of his attentions to one of his favorite mulatto mistresses. He took him to Louisiana and sold him at a very large ad vance. A Uoiled States Senator who was a promi nent advocate of the Fugitive Slave law Jilted out a son several years ago to commence life on bis own account in one of the Western States. For a servant he gave him a hair brother, and a most iahhCutand affectionate servant he was. But after a while the hah its of the young master got him into trouble.' Heplayed and drank. His money :waa a|l consumed. Then went hia hone and saddle. At last nothing was left but the slave. It Was hard to part with him, for the brother had a.real fondness for him; but he had a greater one for cards and dice. The slave was sold. ‘ He said he would never be the stave or another master. A penurious and cruel man .bought him. He ran and was soon captured. A second lime he esca ped, determined never again tofte taken alive. This time he succeeded, for the FogU live Slave law had not then goue into opera tion. Indeed, it is possible that this very in cident may have been m the honorable Sena tor’s mind when he so eloquently urged its enactment. • A ctEBexMAE who was in the habit of preaching in different parts of .the country, was not long since et an ion where he ob served a horse jocky trying to take id a sim ple gentleman, by imposing upon him a bro ken-winded bona for a sound one. The par son knew the bod character of the jockey, and taking the gentleman aside, told him to. be camiousof theperson he was dealing with. The gentleman finally declined, to purchase, and the jockey quite nettled, observed— “ Parson, I bad much rather bear you preach, thin see 'you privately interfere in bargains between man and man in this tray.” , “Well,” replied the parson, •*if you were where yob ought to have been Inst Sunday, yoii might have beard me preach.” n “Where.
