Dr, Livingstone's Discoveries In Africa. The discoveries of Dr. Livingstone in A6ica arc considered of great commercial value. He I lived with n tribe of Bcchuanns for eight,years, and, in co-operation with NW. Oswald discoier eel Lake Ngami. He traced, by himself the course of the great river Zambesi, in Eastern Africa, and extending two thousand miles. This immense stream, whose, discovery is the great fruit of the journey, is in itself an enigma without a parallel. But a small portion of itsl waters reach the seacoast. Like the Abgssini an Nile, it falls through a' basaltic cleft, near the middle of its course which reduces its bi milli from LOGO to 20 yards. Above these falls it spreads out periodically, into a great sea. filling hundreds of laternal channels ; below it is a tranquil stream of a tot dly different char acter. Its mouths seem to lyc closing. The southernmost was navigable when the Portu• gese firstparrived in the country. 300 years ago, but it has long since ceased to be practicable. The Quillimnne mouth has of late years been impassable, even fbr a canoe, from July to Feb ruary, and for 200 or 300 miles up the river na vigation is never attempted in the dry season. And in this very month of July, when the lower portion c f the river, after its .cpril freshets has sunk to a mere driblet, above the fills the river spreads out like a sea over hundreds of square 'miles. This widi frequent - cataracts, and the hostilitybf the natives, would seem to be an effectual barrier to the MO hopes of fat trade and filibustering in which English merchants 1 and journals aro now indulging. During this unprecedented encircle, alone and among savages, to whom a white face was a miracle, Dr. Living Stone teas compelled to struggle throug,h indeset ibal,le hardships. The hostility of the natives he conquered by his in- timate knowledge of their character and the Bechuana tongue, to which theirs is related.— Ire waded rivers and slept in the sponge and ooze of marshes, being often so drenched ns to be compelltd to turn his armpit into a watch pocket. His cattle were destroyed by the ter rible tsetse fly, and he was too poor to purchase a canoe. Lions were numerous, being wor shiped by many of the - tribes ns the receptacles of the departed souls of their chiefs ; danger ous, too, ns his cinched arm testifies. How- IMIS show and glitter, and ns much as $l5O had been given for an English rifle. On the arid platena of the interior tvater-melons supplied the place of water for some months of the year, as they do on the plains of Hungary in sum mer. A Quaker tribe, on the River Zanga, never have consumption, scrofula, hydropho bia, cholera, small pox, or measels. These ad vantages, however, are counterbalanced by the necessity of assiduous devotion to trade and raising children to make good their loss from the frequent inroads of their fighting neighbors. ____ How to Make a Fortune. Take earnestly hold of life, as capacitated for' and destined to a high and noble purpose.— Study closely the mind's bent for labor or a pro. fession. Adopt it early and pursue it steadily, never looking back to the turning furrow, but fOrward to the new ground that ever remains to be broken. Means and ways are abundant to every man's success, if will and action are rightly adapted to them. Our rich men and our great men have carved their paths to for• 'tune, and by this internal principle—a principle that cannot fail to reward its votary, if it be resolutely pursued. To sigh or repine over the' lack of inheritance,, instead of inheritance, is unmanly. Every man should strive to be crea tor instead of inheritor. He should bequeath instead of borrow. The human race, in this respect, want dignity and discipline. They ; prefer to wield the sword of valorous forefath ers to forging their own weapons. This is a mean and ignoble spirit. Let every man be conscious of the power in him and -the Provi dence over him, and fight his own battles with his own good lance. Let him feel that it is bet ter to earn a crust than to inherit coffers of gold. This spirit of self-nobility, when once learned, every man will discover within him self, under God, the elements and capacities df wealth. He will bo rich, : inestimably rich.in self•resources, and can lift his face proudly. I AM NOT FALSE.

Green Wood and Dry Wood A few calculations relative to the compara tive value of green and seasoned wood for fuel. may serve to remind those interested of the subject. Everybody knows that green wood is poor stuff t 3 kindle a fire with, though some con tend that it will keep up as well as seasoned if applied constantly. not suffering the Twat to go down. That is, if yin cap have a good fire to season it in, you can burn green wood as well But to the calculations : iek of green wood weighing one hundred when seasmed we ighs oily about ix pounds, or such is about the usual . ; , -e of wood used for fuel. In a seasoned nu have all the Nrorid—all that will sup unbustion—you only get rid of thirty unds of water. •, water will not burn, and if present in his to be converted into steam, at the ;e.of that fuel, and it will take four times h heat to make steam of water, as it will to bring it to the boiling point. Here at once the poor economy of using wood. have shown that abont one third of the of green wood is water—now, how barrels of water arc there in a cord of ? There are one bun fired and twenty cubic feet in a cord, which. allowing 7ths for vacant space between the sticks, seventy-seven feet of solid wood, one of which is water—equal to over six . of water in every cord of green wood. c heat required to evaporate this water, would bring thirty barrels to the boiling point. And this is not the only expense : if the wood was cut properly, piled, and seasoned in the woods, the cost of drawing would be nearly one third less. Any way you look at it, the econo my of burning green wood is more than ques tisnable. Every farmer should keep a stock of wood on hand, sufficiOnt to last one year at east.— And ho may look at the difference be ecr wood seasoned just enough, and under .co and that which has lain out of doors until the sap-wood has become rotten; and one half its value has been lost by exposure to the weather. —Agricultural Exchange. • Cold Regions Extending. It is well known as a matter of history, that when Greenland was discovered it possessed a much warmer climate than it does at present. The ice packs have been extending south from the polar regions for some centuries, and the north-east coasts of our continent are much cold er than they were three centuries ego. The cause of this is not well understood—the fact only is khown. It is believed by some persons that there is a great eddy in some parts of the polar ocean which sometimes changes its direc tion, and by drifting large icebergs from one place 'to another, changes the climate of those places where they are drifted, by the presence of such 'masses of ice diffusing their low tempera turn to great distances. In the month of July last, the White Sea was blocked up with huge mountains of ice, and the commerce of Archan gel stopped—something Which never happened before. In the Faroe Islands snow fell in the valleys in the middle of July, the like of which also never happened before. If this drift of ice continues regularly for a few seasons, the coasts of the White Sea will become as inhospitable as those of Greenland now are.—Sciatfifie American.

Dr. hail advices every person who gees out into the open air from a warm apartment, to keep the mouth shut while walking or ridirg. Ile says—" Before you leaVe the room, Lan Ile up well with gloves, cloak, and comforter : shut your mouth Wore you open the street door. and keep it resolutely closed until you have walked briskly for some ten tninutes tl.cn, if. you keep on walking or have reached your home, you may talk as much as yen please. :Not so doing many a heart once happy and yOung now lies in the church-yard, that might have been young and happy still. But how ? if you keep your mouth closed and walk rapidly, the air can only reach the 'lungs by a circuit of the nose and head, and bccomes, warmed before reaching the lungs, thus causing no derange. ment : but if you converse, large draughts of cold air dash directly in upon the lungs, chill ing the whole frame almost instantly. The brisk waking throws the blood to the surface of the body, thus keeping up a vigorous circu lation, making a cold impossible, if you don't get into a cold bcd too quickly after you get hoMe.
