During the winter of IBJ9 I became tired of the smoky atmosphere of London, and, indeed, of everything bearing the odor of “ Her’ Gra cious Majesty.” I longed to breathe, aa an Englishman might say, the air of that frivo lous French capital known upon maps and hand-books of travel a? Paris. My partial desire became a fact, through the instrumentality of my friend George Lester, who came into my sanctum one morning, ex claiming; *' Henry, if you do not take compassion and entice me from this pla*e, I shall become an in mate of one of those public institutions, known as lunatic asylums.” “ My dear fellow, what is the matter ?” “Do not ask me at present; only prove your friendship by packing your portmanteau and leaving London this very night.” “ Well, Mercury, whithef are you going to carry me ? Before I commence packing, I should like some information on' the subject; for I might prepare lor,the balmy breezes of Italy, and suddenly find I was jonjpeying to New Zealand.” ' ..‘‘Come, Henry, like a good fellow, be my comrade in this trip, as you have been in ma ny others. I am bound for Paris, but ehall stop en route at Brussels.” “ Bravo I” I cried, “ but, why this haste ?” He waived hie hand and said, “ Come, no excasee. 'Hcnry, for, if I breathe this air anoth er twenty— four hoars, I shall stifle.” - I saw that he was suffering from some in tense emotion : therefore, I said noti ing more, but began preparations for nur intended depart ure. A few hours after Lester had entered my chambers, we were traveling with due speed toward Dover. - About midnight we.discerned the white cliffs of the above menti >ned town, and a few minutes -sufficed to convey both baggage and travelers to one of those uncomfortable steam ers that cross tho.chunnel... " Tbe next morning we arrived ,at Ostend, where we, obtained breakfast, and improved our outward appearance by a fresh toilet. A few hours later found ua locked in a first-class carriage on our way to Russels. Oar journey between Ostend and Brussels had some picturesque scones to recommend it to the stranger. The trees were cut into, every imaginable shape. Occasionally we would whistle by a wind mill in the distance, and a peasant's but near, where parties of both sex were tilling the soil together. Agriculture is pursued to a great extent in Belgium. There are colleges where the arts of farming are (aught, and prizes awarded to those who raise the finest produc tions Late in'the afternoon we arrived at Brussels, and'drove to the Hotel de Ruse; having time to dress fur dinner, we concluded; la dine at the table d’hote. Obeying the summons of the gong, George Lester and myself found ourselves in a large dining-room. We were seated at the board, hut, alas ! for .out.ravenpus appe tites, .we could net eat the food placed before us, for it wasj cooked according to the fashion of the country, which is a mixture of German and French dishes, that are not palateable to English stomachs. If even we felt inclined to have partaken of the same, the obsequeous wi tters in attendance -would not have allowed us that privelege"; for, if you paused an instant in the modus-operandi of eating, your opiate was instantly exchanged for another, until it | appeared to me that I had twenty clean plates, and nothing to eat. Lester was amused at my vain efforts to dine. He asked me. if I wished myself in London, with an English dinner? | , 1 replied, “ I shall certainly starve if this is 1 a fair sample of meals to be had in this city.’* \ “ Come, Henry, I soe your case is desperate,; therefore we will go to John Saunders’, and | have something suitable to ynar appetite." “ And pray who is John'Sanders ?*’ I asked. “An Englishman,” replied George, “ who is making a fortune by giving islanders like | ourselves, something fit to eat." j George Lester was well acquainted with ; Brussels, having been some months there sev ei ul years previously. Upon arriving at the Rue’d Isabelle, a nar-' row back street, Lester conducted me ! into a i very modest-looking dwelling. Upon entering, ' I was agreeably surprised to find overling thoroughly English in their appointments.— . Lester informed mg that all the ihon vivanis of English society in Brussels met here, many fa king their meals here, in preference to the ho- • tels. ‘ “ - - ; ! While we were doing justioe to our nicely ■ prepared supper, several gentlemen entered, and took their seats directly opposite to where ; we were seated. The tallest of the party crossed over to onr table, bat in hand, saying, “ Es ; cnee me, gentlemen, I believe we have met be j fora ; your faces look familiar. Heasked us our ■ names:" As we gave them, he exclaimed, "Ah I | thought I was not mistaken, and grasping oar AGITATOR. jflUscellang. THE MEETING a true sToar. hands, he asked us if we bad forgotten Oxford.” “What! Lord Marsgate,” we both cried. ■“ The same, at your service.” After talking over by gone times. Lord Mara gate suddenly turned to tester, and said, “ or( * an< * Herbert are at present in rhis city, accompanied by their neice, who is the bright particular star of English society here; You must be acquainted with her, for her father, was pastor of the village church near my father's estate.” ' " “The lady's name,” said Lester, taming pale. ' _ “Miss Hellen Thorton," replied Marsgate. ' “At what hotel are they stopping ?" exclaim ed Lester, who, in his agitation, arose and grasped Lord Marsgate's arm. Perceiving oar surprise, he resumed his seat. Lord Mars gate wrote the desired information on a card, and banded it to him. “Come 1 my friends, join our party, if yon do not feel too fatigued after your journey,” said Lord Marsgate. “We are going to have Roger in Robert le Diable.” We assented to this proposal. An introduc tion to the rest of the party ensued, and in a few moments we were in the Rue Royale, walk ing aeoludely along the broad pavement. I sur veyed its stately hotels and looked, with pleas ure, at the trees of the park. Well may Brus sels be named; “Le petite Paris,” for it resem bles its namesake in the gaiety of its masses that crowd to winter beneath its bine sky. Its boulevards, streets and churches have a deci dedly French air. The palace-of his Majesty King of Belgium, with numerous other build ings pertaining to the government, are built of white marble, which has a very chaste effect. The favorite palace of the king is some leagues Brussels, and is situated in the midst of fairy-like grounds. It is the same palaoe that ormerly belonged to the King of Holland, and was purchased by the Belgians for their, sov ereign. Arriving at- the opera bouse, we perceived, the gen-d’ armes dressed in dark green uni forms, and black hats with green plumes, pac ing before its doors. They carry a small mus ket, the weapon which they use to enforce or der. Ascending a flight of marble steps, we found onrselves in a large ball, which was beautifully decorated with statnes, bearing vasea with flowers. The portress showed us our box, and I became interested in the opera. I am an enthusiastic admirer of music, therefore my soul drank in the melody of. Mey erbeer’s magnificent Creation.” Roger faith fully justified all the reports I had beard of hie voice and exquisite acting. Imagination had loose rein as I gazed upon the scene called “Le Temptation." The curtain descending at the end of the act, restored my enraptured senses to surrounding objects. I turned to George, and said something about Roger’s fine voice; bat he was too abstracted to answer. One of our party rallied him upon looking at a certain box all the evening, where upon Lord Marsgate said, “Ah 1 Lester, do not lose your heart, for la belle Anglaise is as cold aa the Alpine heights.” Lord Marsgate directed my eye to Lord Her bert’s box, in which Miss Thornton sat. I,ne,v er beheld one that attracted my attention as quickly. Her light brown hair was simply rolled back from a white, intellectual brnw.— Gredin nose, small month and perfect chin and throat, were 'beautiful; but nature, by some strange caprice', had given her eyes as dark as.pildnigbt and eyebrows of tbo same col or. Thesp features, with her perfect blonde com plexion! gave to her beanty a style at once piquant find brilliant. Perhaps I appreciated her beauty all the more, viewing it, as I did, in the midst of unattractive faces; for the la dies of Flanders have no pretonlions to beanty. It may bo prejudice upon my part, bnt their faces have a crafty expression, particularly about the eye, which resembles the Chinese, and has the same cunning look. Their fea tures are generally coarse, figures stout, (with out the symmetry that the French have to such a remarkable degree), and their hands and feet very large. It is strange, but it has been remarked by travelers, how many deformed persons there are to he found in Brussels, especially among the aristocracy. Go‘ into the park on any pleasant Sunday, and you will be surprised to see the number of 'misshapen forms that throng its avenues. An English resident told me be thought it was the carelessness and cru elty of nurses to children during infancy, to gether with-the indifference of mothers, that caused so much-hnman misery. While I was moralizing, the anrtain rose up on the last act of the' opera, and I became all attention—so mnch so, that I did not miss Lester until our. party arose to go. I asked Lord Maragate where Georgs had gone, and he replied by pointing to the! box that con tained Miss Thornton. I looked and beheld George helping the lady to arrange her opera cloak. His face bad lost the haggard look it hod worn, and he seemed metamorphosed into a happy lover. Declining Lord Marsgate’s invitation to sup per, I returned to n>y hotel, and was soon locked in the embrace of Morpheas. The next morning when I. awoke I found a note from George, saying that he was going to accompany Miss Thornton in a drive some miles out of town, hut would be with me in the afternoon. Having the morning to myself, I bent my footsteps toward the Museum, a handsome building of white marble or granite, I have for gotten which. It contains one of the finest collections of paintings in Europe, having many of the original paintings of Michael Angelo, Reubens, Titens and many others whose names are enrolled in the temple of fame. Any one might spend a week, with pleasure and profit, viewing these great conceptions. The Museum contains, also, some master pie ces of sculpture, the most beautiful of which was a veiled face of the Madonna, which was so delicately carved that the marble seemed like a veil of the finest lace. There is one charm to the ear of a stranger that is particularly pleasing. It is that chimes of jbells are so numerous that they are almost to be constantly beard. A good bellringer is sore of a high salary. Upon my return to the hotel, I found George waiting for me. He said, as I entered, “Well, now come 1 You think lam a strange being to bring you here from London almost by force; then immediately after our arrival, leave yon alone for the society of almost an apparent stranger; eh ?” “ Really, George,” I replied, “ I have not been thinking about the matter at all, bat have been spending a most delightful morning in the Museum.” ‘ Ah 1” laughed George Lester, “That is just like yon, with your Scotch nature, to abide ybur-tiroe for explanations; therefore, Henry, (his tone changing into one of deep feeling,) I shall tell you the secret that has made me wretched for the past year. My father, Sir Gilbert Lester, is a proud, eold man of the world, and has not any sympathy for those deep feelings which God gave to man to make him a better and nobler being than he otherwise could have been. “Miss Helen Thornton was bat a girl of eighteen when I returned from college, I shall not fatigue you by going into the details of a love story. In a word, I met, wooed and won der. I asked my father’s consent to oar union, bat be laughed at what be termed my boyish passion. I waited patiently, thinking, in time to win his consent; but in vain was my pa tience. He privately .obtained for her father a better living inWa north of England. I fol lowed her, and implored her to consent to a pri vate union. She refused, We parted. I traveled, and tried in vain to love other women. Her image was too firmly woven into my heart strings to banish it. Two years ago her father’ died, and her maternal nnole adopted her and made her his fntnre heiress. Some weeks ago I read the rumors of her marriage to Lord St. James in a newspaper ; therefore, I determined to coma to Brussels and Paris —for I knew she was sojourning in either city—and learn the truth from her lips. Well, little remains to be told. I found her the .same beautiful girl that I bad parted from, True to her early love, Henry, she has prom ised to be my wife, now that she is my equal in fortune. Her" nncla approves of bar choice, and talks of getting me into parliament.” ’ “Let me offer you my warmest congratulation, my dear fellow,” I cried, aa we shook hands. Some weeks afterward I officiated as George Lester's groomsman, and accompanied him as far as Paris, where the beauty of Mrs. Lester was sb much admired as it had been in Brtjssles. Aggregate L„bob op Mankind. —Along with the compassion that is excited by the list ening to a tale of want, there is apt to arise, at that time, a feeling of astonishment that such a thing should be in such a land as this. Perhaps, however, the true wonder is that half die before they have contributed an iota.to the world’s sustenance or their own. One-half of those who do not, os a general thing, contribute directly to the production of wealth. Of the men, many are sick, many are old, many are lazy, many are idle, many are wastefnl, many are parasites. Those who do work, and live to the age of three score years and ten, spend one-third of their lives in bed, one-twentietb at the table, one sixth in recreation. Much of their time is wasted in mistakes. Much of what they succeed in producing is swept away by fire and flobd. During half of the year na ture sleeps. ’ One harvest in five produces a failure. Onjljj a fraction of the earth’s surface, is capable of cultivation. A large part of the| production of luxuries, in repairing the dam-| ages of war, in preparing for future conflicts, in the transportation of produce, and in jour neys. Probably not more than one-tenth of the wbolo amount of human force is expended in earning the world’s daily bread. The standing marvel, therefore, of’society .is, not that any shopld snffer want, bat that there should be any who do not. Aems Lost ik Battle. —That a raw soldier, in the excitement and agitation of battle may fail to discharge his gun, and pat charge upon ohorge until it is loaded to bursting, is probable enough. But the extent to which this sort of blundering proceeds' is graater than most persons would suppose- In the annual report of the Chief of the Bureau of Ordinance of the Navy Department, it is stated; “On the field of Gettysburg there were 26,- 574 guns pioked up, and of these 24,000 were found to be loaded, and half of them were doable loaded. One fourth had from three to ten loads in, and many had five or six balls to one charge of-powder. 'ln some cases the powder was above the ball, in others the. cart ridges were not broken at the end, while in one musket twenty-three balls, sixty-two buckshot, and a quantity of powder were all mixed up together. A man who died at Salem, Conn., recently, by his own agreement, sold his body to a sur geon,in Boston for 31,000, the money to he appropriated to the aupport of his widowed mother and bis body to purposes of scientific investigation. His death was produced by an enormous tumor growing upon his back, larger than a bushel basket, and apparently nearly 100 pounds in weight. It has been growing for eight years. SoME newspaper wag tells a story of an old gentleman who'se-eight or ten clerks bored him continually with conundrums. Going home one evening, ha was a closed store by a countryman, who asked: “ Can you tell me, my friend, why this store is closed?” Go to tunder! ” cried he, “ with your conundrums, "(I’ve been bored to death with them these three weeks 1” Interesting Scene —At the New York Fair: Scene : Very pretty girl pinning a boqnet on young swell’s coat. .

NO. 22. No single article of diet can for any length of time preserve the integrity of the animal frame, (including man as well as domestio ani mals.) Our readers may have beard of the experi ment made by Napoleon Bonaparte, which was that of trying to supply the nutritive wants of hie system by living on a concentrated prep aration of beef, in the form of jelly. He gave the article a fair trial, yet lost flesh and. his health became impaired; which .led him.to remark, that the stomach was a sort of mechan ical and chemical scavenger, and required a variety of food and rubbish, from which to sort and select the necessary element, for the renova tion of the tissues. Napoleon probably Selected jelly for the ex periment, as it was known to abound in four of the principle elements which compose the an imal fabric. When the “ Grahamitea” confined themselves to coase bread and water, they soon dwindled into walking skeletons; and they soon would have exterminated themselves, had they not added two very nutritious articles to their meagre bill of fare, viz; butter and milk; the latter furnished their systems with equivalents such as no Grahamites obtain from beef and mutton. , The staple article of food among the poor in China isi rice, and many of-them are so lank and lean that if a lighted candle eonldbe inser ted into the chest or abdoninal cavity of one of them, very respectable, living and walking lan terns might easily and quickly he constructed; all that saves each people from death by star vation in that they happen to catch astray dog, a pig, or a foreign rat, occasionally, on which they fare sumptuously, and bless their good luck. Experiments have been mads on dogs, by the celebrated Majendie; he proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that such animals could not live more than forty days when forced to sub sist on one single article of diet, no matter how much nutrition it migb contain. The Scotch are great consumers of oatmeal, which they cook in various ways; this article of food is not inferior to wheat, in flesh making principles, and we might naturally infer that an article of diet so valuable and r palatable ought to promote health and thus sustain life; but the very reveres is the case, for the great’ oatmeal consumers are the notorious subjects . of intestinal'concretions (or calculi) and in the * Edinburg Anatomical Museum can be seen a vast and valuable collection of intestinal calculi many of whom proved so many death warrants to confirmed oatmeal consumers. Dr. Carpenter, the eminent physiologist, says no fact is better established in dietetics than that of the impossibility of long sustaining life on a single alimentary principle. Neither pure albumen, fibrine, gelatine, gnm, starch, fat nor oil, taken alone, can serve for the due nutrition of the body. Thirds partly dns to their failing in supplying the waste of th« tissue, and partly to the fact that single ali mentary sabstances, long continued, excite such feelings of disgust that the animal experi mented on seems to the endurance of starvation than the the same. |Tho same is true of man. Many of onr read ers are aware that when a person baa been long confined to rny particular article of diet, a craving for something else is experienced; which craving few persona can resist. This teaohes ns, that in order to preserve the health of live stock, we most vary the diet, and not be over particular in our selection of the moat nutrioua articles, for as Napoleon says; the stomach requirs some “rubbish.” The internal surface of the stomach and bowels, re quire some stimuli or process of irritation, oc casionally, in order to davelope and seonre physiologioal action ; first in the stomach by sec uring a sufficient secretion of the gastric fluid ; which can only bo acomplished by feeding out hay, cut straw, oats and shorts. Secondly, the rongh particles of food acting as stimuli on the nmcons and absorbing surface of the intestines, augments the peristent action of the same, and excites absorption of that portion of the food which goes to make chjle and blood t so much for rough food. The stomach must be mads to labor hard for a living or it will become effem inate—its function will deteriorate. Boring my medical! career 1 have discovered that most dyspeptic subjects of the human fam ily date their terrible affliction from the mo ment that they refused to eat food, and then on the principles of ■aristocracy, and the usage of society, preferred to drag out a miserable. existence on dainty viands, which seldom if ever distended their stomachs to a healthy ca pacity.—[Prairie Farmer. The story goes that, when things were work ing so badly in the Shenandoah Talley, Sec retary Stanton applied to Gen. Grant for a remedy. “ Send me," says the Secretary,” the very best man you have got in the army.” Grant replied by sending Phil.
