Kale and Ellen.
"What ntliffarenco thert, is iu children !"
thought I.
I was on my way to Brooklyn, with my
two little cousins, Kate and Ellen. Soon
•ufter we were seated in tile omnibus, a
poor woman entered, first lifting iu a little
.girl, and then leading a little boy, whom
we soon discovered to be blind. He was
about four years old, with soft white curls
and blue eyes, into which, alas, the glad
light entered not. His sister, some years
older, was a bright merry looking girl. It
was very pleasant to see her care for her
little blind brother.
The woman seated herself with her little
boy-in her lap ' and the little girl by her
side, between herself and my little friend
Kate.
New Kate was very nicely dressed, as
she very well knew. The poor little girl,
ac she at down, could not very easily a
void setting un Kate's cloak. My little
lady drew herself up vary haughtily, and
snatched her cloak away, as it was quite
too nice to be touched by a "beggar," as
she called the child. My attention was
arrested by this movement and I watched
Kate closely. Not a look did she give
the group, after her glance of curiosity'.—
She had nothing to do with them ! She

a nice ohiu.ehillas, at which she glanced

Look lof tender interest, "Cousin \larv,
that little boy is blind !" Tt was not long
before she was exchanging smiles with his
sister, whose bright blue eyes shone with
delight.
Ellen had a beautiful bunch of loses
front the green-house, which she was carry
ing to her little cousin Jane. I noticed
her repeated glances at it ; at last with a
eiuddeit resolution she whispered to me::
"Cousin Mary, wouldn't you give your
roses to that little boy, you know Jennie
can have some any time ?"
"Certainly, dear, if you wish to."
So Ellen slipped down from her seat,
and carefully placed her beautiful and fra
grant flowers in the hand of the little blind
boy. His sinter said to him
"A lady gives you the flowers. Willy."
How pleased and happy he looked ! nud
how sweetly he said "thank you:"
He could not see their delicate colors, but
he had not always been blind, as I learned
from his mother, and their fragrance

And was not Ellen happy too ? It was
something Kate could not understand. If
Ellen had received beautiful roses Or kind
looks, they would not haVe made her half
so happy as she always was when she
thought of these poor children.

liklhard Middleton, a • Britirh soldier,
once attended 'divine service with the rest
of his teginteni, is achiirch in Glasgow.—
Instead of pulling nut a Bible to find the
parson's text, ho spread a pack of cards be
fore him. This behaviour was observed
by the clergyman, and the sergeant of tho
company to which he belonged. The hit
ter ordered him to put up the cards, and
on his refusal, conducted him after service
before the Mayor and preferred a formal
complaint of Richard's indecent belie-
vtour.
" Well, soldier," said the Mayor, "what
excuse have you- to offer ? If you can
make an apology, it is well ; if not; you
shall he severely punished."
"Since your honor is no good," replied
Richard, "as to permit mo to speak for
myself ; an't please your worship, I have
been eight days on the march, with the
bare allowance of sixpence per day, and
I consequently could not have a Bible or,
any ether good book."' On saying this,
Richard drew out his pack of cards, and
presenting one of the aces to the Mayor,
continued his fuldress to the magistrate,
as follows
"When I see an ace, may it please your
honor., it reminds me that there is only
one God ; and when I look upon a two or
three spot, the former puts me in mind
of the Father and Son, and the latter, of
the Fattier, Son and Holy Ghost;
a
' four, of the four Evangelists, Mathew,
Mark, Luke end John; a five, thb five
virgins who were ordered to trim their
lamps, (there were ton, Indeed,) but
five, your worship may remember, were
wise, and five were foolish ; a six, that in
six days God created heaven and earth ;
a seven, that on the seventh d r ay he Vested
from all that he had made ; and eight, of
the eight righteous persons who were sa
ved from the deluge, viz : Noah and his
wife and threessons, and their wives ; a
nine, of the lepers cleansed by our Saviour,
(there wore too, but only one offered his
tribute of thanks;) and a ten, of the ten
commandments."
Richard thou took the knave, placed it
beside him, and passed on to the, queen,
i -
on which he observed, us follows:
"This queen reminds me of the Queen
of Sheba, who came from the uttermost
I parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of
Snlommi, as her companion the king does
of the great. King of Heaven, and of Kiug
;George the Second."
( "Well," returned the Mayer, "you have
' l , i eqll me a good description of all the
earls except the knave." .
i i "If your honor will not be angry with
mo," returned Richard, "I can give you
the same satisfaction ou that as on any in
Ithe park."
• "No"' said the Mayor.
"Well." reutnu•d the soldier, "the great
est knave I know is the sergeant who
brought the ht fore you."
"1 don't know," replied the Mayor,
"whether he be the greatest knave or not;
but I ani sure he is the greatest. fool."
The soldier then continued, as fol
lows :
"When I count the number of dote in
a pack of cards. there aro three hundred
and sixty-five—so many days are there in
a year. The cards in a pack are tifty•two
mauy weeks are there iu a ye r.--
Wheu I reckon how many tricks there are
iuipack, I find there are twelve—so tun
ny months in a year. So that a pack of
cards is both Bible and almanac, and prayer
book to me."
The mayor called, his servants, ordered
them to entertain the soldier well,, gave
him a piece of money, and said ho was the
cleverest fellow he ever heard in all his
life.
FILM. DEVOTION AND ITS REMIRD.--.
An old rag picker died in Paris, in a state
of the moat abject poverty. His only
relation was a niece. who lived as a ser.
vast with a greengrocer. The girl al
ways assisted her uncle us far as her slen
der means would permit. When she
learned of his death, which took place
suddenly, she was upon the point ofpar-

she had been long attached. The nup
tial day was fixed, but Susette had not

hastened to tell her lover that their mar
riage must be deferred, as she wanted the
price of her bridal finery to lay her
uncle decently in the grave. Her
mistress ridiculed the idea, and, ex
horted her to leave the old man to be be.
vied by charity. Susetto refused. The
consequence was a quarrel, in which the
young woman lost at once her place and
lover, who.sided with her mistress. She
hastened to the miserable garret where
her uncle had expired, and by the sacri
'fiee not only of the savings for her , wed-
ihng attire, but = of all her slender ward
robe, she bad , the old man decently inter

lone in her uncle's room, weeping bitterly,
when the master of the faithless, lover, a
young, good-looking man, entered. "So,
my good Susette, I find you have. lost,

Change of Climate.
History informs us that many of the
countries of Europe which now possess
I very mild winters - atone time' experienced
i severe cold during this season of the year.
The Tiber at Rome was, often frozen over,
and snow at one time lay for forty days in
that city. The Hexing Sea. was fro Zen
lover every winter during the time of Ovid.
and the rivers Rhine and Rhone used to
Ibe frozen so deep that the ice suotained
I loaded wagons. The waters of the Tiber.
Rhine and Rhone now flow freely every
winter; ice is unknown in ROme, and the
waves of the &mine dash their wintry
foam uncrystalized upon the rocks. Same
one has ascribed these climate changes to
agriculture, the cutting down of dense
forests, the exposure of the upturned soil
to the summer's sun, and the draining of
great marshes. Wo do . not believe that
such great changes could have been produ
' ced on the climate of any country by agri
culture, and we are certain that no such
theory can account for the contrary change
of climate, from warm to cold winters,
which history tolls us has taken place in
other countries than those named. Green
land received its name from the emerald.
herbage which' once clothed its valleys and
mountains; and its east coast, which is
,inaccessible on account of perpetual ice
I heaped upon its shores, was in the eleventh
century, the seat of flenrishing Scandina
vian colonies, all trace of which is now
lost. COld Labrador was named Vinland
by the Northmen who visited it A. D.
1000, and were charmed with its then mild
climate. _
The eause of these changes is an import
taut inquiry. A °pamphlet by John Mur
ray, civil engineer, has recently bean pub
lished in London, in which he endeavors
to attribute these changes of the climate
to the ohangeable_position of-the magnet
io poles. The magnetio Variation or de
clination of the needle is well known.
At the present time it amounts in London
to 23° west north, while in 1658 the line
of variation passed through England, and
then moved gradually - west until 1816.=
In that year a great removal of ice took,
`Place on the coast of Greenland. - Hence,
it is inferred that the cold meridian,
which now passes through Canada and Si
beria, may, at one time have passed through
Italy, - and that if the magndtio meridian
returns, as it is now doing, to its old lines
in Europe, Rome may once more see — her
Tiber frozen over, and tho merry Rhine
lander drive his team on the ice of his
classic river. Whether the changes of
the climate mentroited have been caused
by the change of the magnetic meridian or
not, we have too few facts bSfore us atpres
ent to decide conclusively ; but the, idea,
once spread atiroad, will ewe lead to such
investigations as will, no doubt, remove
every obscurity and settle the question.—

NIAnTIAL OF THE UN/TKD STATHS.-
Xmong the Americana who attended the
late ball given at the Hotel de Ville. Pa-
ris, was Jack Spicer, of Kentucky.—
Jack rushed the dress somewhat strong,
and sported epaulette on his shoulders
!large enough to start four Major Generals
lin business. Jack was the observed of
all the observers, and' got mixed up with
a party !hat his friends could not account,
for. Wherever the martials of. France
woo, there went Jack ; and when the
marshals eat down, Jack did the same, al
ways taking the post of honor.. The
day after the ball Jack called on his old!
acquaintance, Mr. Mason, our Ministiti
to France, who started. up a little conveY!
sation, in the following manner:
"I hear, Jack, you-were at the ball last
night I"
"I was, sir, and had a high old time."
'Tor which you are indebted, ? sup•
pose, to the high old company you got
mixed up with t , By the way, how came
you associated with the marshals 1"
"How t by virtue of my office—they
were marshals of, France, while I am noth
ing else thati' a marshal of the Republic.
I showed my commission and .took post
accordingly."
"By right of, your office ; what do you
mean I"
"Read that and see." ~,
Here Jack presented Ur. Mason with
a whitey-brown paper. with a seal big
enough for a pound weight. •
What in the name of heaven is this I" ,
"My commission of , marshaP—l re
ceived it in 1850, when Issaisted in taking
the census in Frankfort."
"You don't mean to.eay that you travel
on this 1"
don't mean anything else. -That
makes me a 'marshal' of the Republic,
and I intend to pave the office duly hon.
ored." •
Mr. Mason allowed that Jack was•doing
a large business on a very small capital.
We should not wonder if the , reader did
the 'same. A census marshal of Frank.
fort mixing in with the marshals offranee
is certainly rushing matters in a tuannar
that requires as much brass as epaulettes.

At the present lime of high prices of
[all kinde of human food, it has ~been
thought advisable to lay before the public
in a plain and comprehensive form, the
comparative quantities of nutriment con
tained in the principal articles used as
food. The analyses have been obtained
from the works of the best and most cele
brated chemists.. It is proper to state that
the articles were all reduced toe perfotly
dry state by evaporating the water they
contained, and then subjecting them to
careful chemical analysis. The follow
ing table, divided 'into three parts, animal
foodr,vegetable food, and fruit, shows the
quantity of - nutritive matter and °twitter
in each article, and by comparing one ar
ticle with another, shows the comparative
value death as food. But as the elements
of nutrition are not of the same value, it
must not, be infercecl that, an wick.
that contains •a large quantity of •starch
for example. is more nutticious then
one that , contains a small ' quantity. of
Isnimal fibrin and no starch. . Both starch
and ,aninal fibrin ere elements of mini.
I *ion, but they. are-appropriated by Ottani
mal economy to very different purposes,
, the former to the formation of fat and an.
heat, and. thelatter to the supply of
all the tissues, bone, muscle!, dtc. The
two elements are required in very ditler-7
ant proportions also, in forming , food, and
hence bgeod,, (though, °men cannot live
upon' bread alone,”) with its 15. pounds
ff
of vegotoanirual matter, (gluten,} and,
50 pounds of starch, end • 35 .pountia;,
water, forms.. composition of nutriine ..,
I more nearly complete than; ; any' other
substance. Starch is required in ft tnschi;,
.larger proportion than gluten, in vegetit-';
blo nutriment, and is furnished , abundani z
ly in all kinds of grain, beans :and pours;
toes. if potatoes contained:a smell pro.
portion of gluten. say .5 pounds to , the 100
pounds; then their nutritive. property
would compare with that of wheat flour
'in the proportion of 221 to 00." That is,
potatoes would be worth just one quarter
as much by weight , as wheat lour. .But
as they contain,no gluten nor caseine. and
very little albumen, consequently little if
any of the elements of proteine, a larger
quantity of animal lood of some kind is
reqtaired,to be combined with them than, -
with bread,. in the lormation.of food:- ..,...
