R. Young, of Truro, mentioned a very remarkable fact that had taken place at Cornwall : Two men were working together in a mine, and having prepared to blast the rock, and laid the train, the latter became by accident ignited. In a few moments a tremendous explosion, they knew, was in evitable, and the rock must be rent in a thousand pieces. On perceiving their , dan ger, they So' leaped into the backet, and called to the man on the surface to draw theca up. Ile endeavored to do so, but his arm was found too feeble to raise the hack- et while both the men were in it. What was to be done? The burning fuse, which could not be extinguished. was now within a few feet of the powder ; n moment or two, and the explosion must take place.— At this awfu: crisis, one of the wen ad dressing the other, said, "You shall live, and I will die ; for you are an impenitent sinner, au.l if you now die your soul will be lost ; but if I die. I know by the grace of the Lind Jeans Christ, I shall be taken' to.liiinself." And so sayikg, withoat wai- ' ting for a reply, he leaped out of the bucket and prayerfully waited the result. On the other reaclong the surface, he beat over the shaft to ascertain the fate of his coin pillion. At that moment a ten ezplo- : siou was heard ; a portion of the rock was thrown up, and smote him ou the forehead; leaving an indelliblc mark to rewind him of his danger and deliverance. But the man of God, when they value to search for him, was found arched over by the frag ments ofhrokeu rock-in the mire, unitijur- , ed. and rejoicing in the Lord. This mag nanimous miner exhibited in his act au a 'tomtit of disinterested love and charity which has seldotu been equalled and is ne- - vet. found but tai connection with the love of Christ. !lyre in none of that unholy da ring of which we have instances among the heroes of Greece and Rowe, who actuated solely by a love of notoriety, inflicted upon themselves tortures, and even death ; but that pure - Christian charity, which at all hazards, even at the sacrifice of life itself, seeks to save the immortal soul of man.— This is the kind of clarity we have this day to elicit, to strenfthen, and to direct, and without which it is impossible that the objects of nwsiouary euterrrise can ever be accomplished. It ben Is a man Rich. We are indebted to a friend in Wash ington Oily (says the Knickerbocker Mag aizided for the following very forcible illus tration of "What constituter Riches ?" The anecdote is entirely authentic. "To be rich." laid Mr. Marcy, our wor thy Secretary of Slate, "requires only a satisfactory condition of the mind. One man may be rich with a hundred dollars. while another in the possession of millions, way thick nimself poor ; and as the ne cessities of life Are enjoyed by each, it is evident the - man who is best satisfied with 1 his possessions is the richer." To illustrate the idea, Mr. Marcy related the following anecdote : When 1 was Governor of the State of New York. said he, I was called upon one forcing at my office by a rough specimen of a backwoodsman, who stalked in and commenced couversrtion by inquiring "if this was Mr. Marcy." I replied that that was my name, "Bill Marcy !" said he. I nodded as sent. 'gibed to lire in Southport, didn't ye ?" 1 answered in the affirmative. and be gan to feel a little curious to know who wV visitor was, and what he was driving "That's what I told 'em," cried the back-woodsman, bringing bis hand down on his thigh with tremendous force ; "I told them you was the sumo old Bill Marcy who used to live in Southport, but they woulda't believe, and I promised the nest time I came to Albany to come and see you and find out for *mitt. Why, you don't know me, don't you Bill ?" I didn't exactly like to ignore his ac quaintance altogether, but for the life of toe I couldn't recollect ever having seen him before, and so I replied he bad a fa miliar countenance, but I was not able to call him by name. "My name is Jack Smith," answered the backwoodsman; 6 , and we used to go to school together thirty years ago, in the lit tle red school house in old Southport.— Well, times has changed since then, and you have become a great man„and got rieh. I suppose !" I snook my head, and was going to oon tradiut that oxpressiou, when he broke in : "Oh !yes you are; t know you are rich ! no use denying it. You was Oetopiroller for a long time ; and tho uext we Muni of you you were Governor. You• must bare a heap of money. and I am. glad of it. glad to see you get along so Smart You was always a smart lad at school, and I knew you would come to something." I thanked him for his good wishes and opinion, but told Mm political life did not pay so well as be imagined. "I suppose," said I, "fortune has smiled upon yon since' you left South - port 1" "Oh I yes," said he, "I hain't got noth ing to complain of. I must say I've got along cight ma'am Yon see shortly after you left Southport, our whole family moved up iota the woods,and.l reckon our family cut 'doWa 'mere trees, and cleared more land. than,any, other in the whole State." "And you have made .a good thing of it How much do you coo4ider yourself worth r' asked, feeling a liftle outlaws to knol. what he cronsi4red a fortune, as he seemed so well satisfied*yrith his. • . , "Well," he repUted, 4.1 don't know ex. actly how ' much I'm worth.; but I dunk (ening' htening toimeelf up } if all my dente were paid.

A Cincinnati'editor says that men are more polite than women, and proceeds to . prove it in this wise : o'Not long since we had occasion to tide a short distance in one of our city omnibuses which was nearly filled with men. Soon it stopped, and a woman opened the door; instantly there was a move among the men : they crowd. ed together and a seat was furnished the I lady. After proceeding a square or two further, another lady wished, to get in ; as additional squeeze was made, and she I was accommodated with a seat. A simi lar application was again soon made, and a gentleman instantly gave up his seat and got on top. Another soon followed and another gentleman did likewise.— , Repeated instances like this occurred, iand the gentlemen, by crowding together. holding market baskets and children, accommodated every lady applicant, till we counted inside—men, women and children—nearly twenty persons. Then the number began to diminish ; men and children got out, and the omnibus was de ' cently filled with women. there being but • two men inside, and they at the further end, completely blocked in by market baskets. Arid now a woman opened the door ; not a lady stirred. "Can 1 have a ' seat," modestly asked the applicant. "I should like to see where you'd sit," said one lady. "Don't you see this 'bus is full ?" said another. "You ran stand,'• sneeringly said the thin!. "I can walk," replied the spunky applicant, and slam ming the door, off she. walked. Now. had the omnibus been full of men 'as it was of women, that lady would have been furnished a seat without a Murmur. But it is not:only in the omnibus that men show their superior politness overwomen. In a rainy day, if we met two men abreast on a crossing. one instantly steps behind ' the other, and gives you a passway. But if you meet two [wiles ten chances to one hut you will have to step into the mitd.--• In a crowded church, men will squeeze together to accommodate another man ; but ladies will spread themselves out, ere thst three or tour fill a pew, and not a inch will they move to accommodate ono of their own sex. So in railroad cars, and other places were men and women congre gate, and where the true disposition is in stinctiviy shown. We state these as gen . eral cases. There are exceptions, of course bat we merely wish to draw at 7 tenti nn to the general fact, that while a man's rudeness to a woman is so rare as to attract notsce when itoccurs, the rude.' news of a woman, towards a man, or to wards another roman, is so COM.IIOII as to be considered a matter of course. If, among other , Womans* Rights," which some ladies are now striving to obtain, they will engraft the right to be always • curteous and polite to each o:her, we men . will take care of ourselves, and them, too---God bless 'eat. With all their faults we love them still. The Philosophy of Sneezing• A sneeze always indicates .that there something wrong. It does t.ot occur in health unless some foreign agent irri tates the membranes of the nasal passages, upon which the nervous filaments are distributed. In case of cold, or what is termed influenza, these are unduly excit able, and hence the repeated sneezings which then occur. The nose receipts three sets of nerves—the nerves of smell. those of feeling, those of motion. The former communicate to the brain the o dorous properties of substances with which they come in contact, in a .diffused or concentrated state ; the second corn. naunicate the impressions of touch ; the third move the muscles of the nose, but the power of these muscles is very limited When a sneeze occurs all these facilities are excited in a high degree. A grunt of snuff excites the olfactory nerves, which dispatch to the brain the intelligence that ' "snuff has attacked the nostril !" The brain instantly sends a mandate through the nerves of motion to the intiscles, saying, "cast it out !"and the resnit is unmistake able. So offensive is the ,enemy besieg ing the nostril held to be. that the nose is not left to its own defence. It were too' frebleto accomplish this. An allied army of muscles joined in the rescue, nearly one 'half of the body arouses against the intruder ; from the muscles of the lips to those of the abdomen, all unite in the efforts for the expulsion of the grain of snuff. During this operation the; lungs become bully inflated, the abominal Organs are pressed downward, and the, veil of the palate drops down to forin a barrier to the escape of air through the mouth, and now all the muscles. which have relaxed for the purpose, contract simultaneously, and force the compressed air from the lungs in a torrent out through the nasal passages, with the benevolent determina tion to sweep away the particle of snuff which has been causing irritation therein. Such, then, is the complicated actiot of a sneeze ; and if the first does not succeed, then follows a second, a third, and a fourth ; and not until victors is achieved , , do the army of derlnderii dissolve their compact, and settle down - into the enjoy ment of peace and quietude.—Journal of Medical Reform.

It would not do—the marshal raised his cane and knocked the offending }Weed brim on the floor. Friend Coffin paitno amain - it to this, but remained motionless. In a lit tle while the marshal! remitted, pick up the has and handed it to,Bevitlvho'took no notice whatever of it, and the marshal deposited it on the table. But the mar shal was not at ease, and skortly after he returned, took the hat and placed it very gently on Levi's head, and 'the hum vre,stlw of Friend Coffin, he stood there with his hat on looking as 000lly on the proceedings as if nothing had ever occurred to disturb his equanimity.
