THE FORCE-OFAIABIL-L
ILLUSTRATED DY NUMEROUS EXAMPLES
The influence of habit extends far and • wide.
.It is observed in the vegetable world, prevails
among the lower creatures, and is of it
power in the human race. Plants beeottio
habituated to new climates and new soils, but
in general retain some habits which point out
their foreign origin, though flourishing at the
time usual in tly country to which they have
been removed. ltny plants'still•blossom, ac
cording to old habit, at the season for their
bloom in their native country—co we may thus
learn that fetch as flower twice with us are
natives of another land.
When we talk of training animals, it only
means that we are giving them habits which
ncodfOtl to us. It is,_ indeed, very.
wonderful that wo should be able tegive them
habits which are contrary to their nature.—
There is no animal with which man becomes
familiar that is not influenced by the habits
which be ludic - ea. Many surprising easesire
on record, and few have not witnessed it them- .
tellies, in the creatures they domesticate. 'Sire
have otirselica Aeon dogs who bad the habit of
_quitting the dining room the moment the din
ner was laid upon 'the _dining table, and who
never ittempled to follow .their owners on
Sunday, though eageito go out with them on
every other day. Nay, it is said that the in
itials in the: London Zoological Gardenti never
look fur food on Sunday, though impatient, for
it bn every other day at the acotistouted hours.
The appetite in all' creatures appears to be
under the influence of habit. Tho different
periods of tha day In which the various class
es of men feel the oravings of appetite and the
inclinatiesfer ; rest, hunger coming at the.ap
pointed-hour, and sleep. at the time fixed for
it, show how all our propensities are swayed
by habit:: The senses are in a remarkable
manner under its influence. The sight has,
been known to habituate itself to a portion of
light quite insufficient for unpracticed eyes.—
A prisoner confined in a cell, apparently dark
~ t o all others, was' enabled to 'distinguish the
minutest object about him by the light admit-
tad through a very slight chink in the wall.—
Sailors, in the habit. of exercising their sight
on distant objects, can discover what're Shea.
lutely invisible to common eyes. Indiaits, and
others in the habit of listening with attention,
lest they should be overtaken by danger, aro
; known to detect sounds which never roach un
practiced ears:
Habit will even in a manner subs'tituto one
sense for another. Those who have lost their
aigbt are often found singularly acute' in the
Beebe of hearing .and of A touch. The deaf
mutes are remarkable for their • keen and oh- .
servant °yea.. One limb le often known by
,habit to' supply ihe 'place of an injured one.—
. Whether .there be a tendency to uso,the right
hand more than the left; or whether it arise'
'from the earliest training, is a disputed point ;

CARLISLEI
starniinifY.',' It has been itscertalised that ow
infants and young children who are peculiarli
susceptible to the effects Of opium, and Whl
are liable to be poisoned by very smell daces}
may be habituated by degrees to' take larg I
quantites. It appears by a statement mad
by Mr Granger of England, in the report I i .
the Children's Employment Commisaion, tht.l
opium is administered in the factoty districts,
as soon after the birth as pnasible. The dos
is increased gradually, till the child takes fro!
fifteen to twenty drops of laudanumat °nisei
This is given,it for - the purpose of throwing i
into a lethargid 'Ettupisi—an' astonishing faed•
when' it is known that children of the BRIR•i
ago in health would be killed by five drops.
Habit not only reconciles to what is painful,
but often makes it necessary. Sir George
Staunton, when in India, Went to see a man
who had committed murder. In order to save
his life, and what Was more valuable, his caste,
lie CubMitied to the penalty of sleeping on a
bedstead for seven years, without any mattress
the whole surface of widish was etuddeAttith
points of iron resembling nails; but' so'
sharp as to penetrate the flesh.' It was in ths
fifth ' , Oar of his submission to this punishment
that Sir George saw him. His skin then ex
actly resembled the hide of-a-rbinoooros,--but.
Mori callous. On this miserable bed he could
lat• the time, from habit, sleep comfortably ;
Sind ho declared that he thought it probable
that, when released, ho would continue that
systeni from choice which he had been obliged
tdadept from necessity."
Most, people have a particular seat at the
table", and feel a little put out of their way if
placed in another. One, remarkable for hits
wit, being placed differently from usual at
dinner, disappointed a whole pompany; who
had been invited that they might be amused
with his agreeable sallies. He was moody and
dull,--and-might -not himself have-Amen-aware
of the cause whiCh made him - so uncomforte
ble.
Habit. oven asserts its influence in sleep.
Wben,morn out by fatigue and hardship, the
soldiers pursued their marches in Spain when
fact asleep, infantry and cavalry alike. The
little children empleied all 'day In a factory
continued to ply the busy task throughout
their slumbers at night.; the little fingers are
seen as if employed in the wheels with
the cotton. The rope-maker, who works inde
fatigably at his trade all day, continues to do'
so in hie sleep.
The habit of reflection which withdraws the
mind from the'passing scene is also wonderful
in its results. The answer of Domenichino,
when blamed for being so slow in finishing*n
pleturombioh'wan bespoken—" I am ceritibu
•ally painting it within- myself."—ieveali"
ones the :habit of man of genius. To this
power of following their pursuits internally,
we are indebted for the noblest discoveries and
happiest results. When Sir 'nano Newton was
asked how' he made his discoveries, be replied
—"By continually thinking of them."
There aro innumerable instances of habits
'continuing long after the causes from which
they were aeqiiiied had ceased to exist. Snuff
takers, whose habit is quite inveterate, can
almost always trace -its commencement to
some painful cause, Which, made it necee4ry
that they should keep awake. Two ladies that
we know often lamented their state-as eonfirr
ed snuff-takers. It was during a time of dis
turbance, when they expected that their house
would be attacked, that they took an occa
sional pincli,of snuff at night, that they might
not fall asleep— The number-of- pinches have
gralually increased. The 'country becanse
quiet, and the ladies oonfirmedsnuff-takers.
The. Spectator mentions that Dr. Plott, in
his 44 History of Staffordshire" tells us of an
idiot, that charioing to live within the sound of
a clock, and alWays amusing herself with count
ing the hours of the day whenever the clock
Struck, the clock having beet spoiled by neci
dent, the idiot continued to strike and count
the hours `without the help of it.
The importance of ieduelni good habits
among sucks are within our influence is too
evident to need enforcing. These we must
remember cannot be the result of set lessons,
but must be the growth 'of time., That the
mind 'should be given to elevated subjects,
usefui - occupations, and intelleetiial pursuits;
will go far to form an amiable character.—.
Those who fancy that evil habits eon.be
relin
quished at pleasure, are fatallymistaken. The
habit of swearing,.iftencs contracted, is rare
ly, if eve:r, given up. That of drinking, Which
in almost all iustances potties on:bydegrees, is
remarkable for its inveteracy. even in the
last stage of misery which it brings on—the
deleriutn tremens--there is an absolute nem :
eity for the permission of the indulgence to a
cm Mitt extent.

be 'over.
But the presence of mind and fortitude of

than in the instance which ocourred:ivhere the
Sierra Moreno rears its bend above:the dark

high. On this spot pere.hedlike no eagle's
nest is the seat of hospitality to b'e found.
The Count, who. is lord of the volleys below,
chooses here to affix his abode. Ire is fond of
field sports, and mountain scenery; to bring
down the haWli and falcon,..do wind the thicket
after the wolf and thefox, and to spring:from ,
rook to rook with giant bounds aftlii• the fleet
chamois; constituted the amusements of the
day. Ai _evening's elesoloopoLids door. to
the way-worn traveller, to - rouse the fire on the
hearth, and spread the table with plenty, were
his' predoininant delights. ''Tkiolfsinds have
tasted of his liberality, and wheekor-belvisited
the smiling fields below, the lispidge of chil
dren, the benedictions of the aged, proclaimed
his'passage.
Ho passed his life Without ostentation, and ,
bad not a male servant in his tetinue. One
little-gir i native of Estremadnra, aged nine
teen, was selected to attend upoti Its person,
and he treated her as Me own child. One eve
ping ho had been out late, and on bin return
ho threw himself upon a touch, aid sank into
repose.
Dorothea, aware that ho would not
,require
her assistance Any more, rotiretlie rest, and en
did all the servants. About one in the: morn
• ing, a banditti 'at the heed of rtni
dolphArsedaili, so long the terror of Spain ,
thundered at the gates of the chateau and soon
.buest them open. They tore the mehittls from
•
their beds, and 'with horrid imprecations made
them disclose where their little treasures were
deposited; and some they put to instant death.
The noise awakened the Count who rushed un
armedlnto the hall. Rodolph Vascalli seized
him by tho throat, and writ/ on rho point of
stabbirtg him, when Threaten, the little maid
of Estremadura, entered, bearing n'eatidle.—
.. -The robber started at seeing her, refrained
from hireidow, and loosened his grasp. The
fine form of Dorothea, robed. 2 in' 2,- flight attire,
appeared .as a beautiful vision, 'or -'"a spectre
from andther,6ncl a bettor world. The work
of death was going on at the extremity of the
ball, and over the marble floor streams of blood
flowed in torrents.
"Stop," said she, "the work of death, and
follow me; you want money, and I will con
. duct you where.it is to be had.":, - . "
• "What pledge have I (sr thy troth?" said
Rodolph, leaving hid hold of the Count.
• "The pledge of blood--the tie of nature—l
am thy only sister."
It was so: Rudolph with coMraCnding'7ol? o
ordered his band to desist front murder and re
tire, while he rompoliedthe Count to sit down
under a pledge - hot to rise until he bride him.
" Reeollecf," said he, "my sister, for such
thou art (however thou contest), I know no
ties but those that conntct me with my folloir
ere. I have Checked the stream of death only
to open the mine of gold."
;'Follow me," said Doreth ea, "and ou shall
have wealth beyond your hoped and wishes."
Slowly they winded up the Gothic staircase;
the moon alionp sickly through the arched and.
ivy covered 'windows ; no sound was heard
Cove that of the whispering wind ef. the night,
that appeared to mourn for those.lives that
had recently passed away. They reached the
summit of the eastern tower.
" I bear," said Rodolpb, "the murmuring of
my band, vho aro awaiting my arrival with
the booty."
"They shall hot long Ivolt-thee," said Doro-
thea, and at that moment they were at the
edge of the turret.
She dashed her light to the earth, and seiz
ing Rodolph by the eltirt i of his oalbrn, hurled
him from tbe. bottlethente. He fell amidst his I
followers, and his blood spurted in the eyes of
his murderous myrmidens, Aranzeinent seized
them alLi - 'Dorpthea hastily ring thebdil - that
communicated with the convent below, and

The following given on the au
thority of Di. Mancionol, of.Tielinst, well known
for his greattalents as a naturalist:—
o.A , gentleman with whom tlidoctor was ac.
quainted had a horse, which had been °beer.
'red to disengage his head from the halter, then
to open, the door of the stable, and go out in
the middle of the night only, and regale himself
upon corn inn field at a considerable distance.
Tlie horse returned to his stall before the brook.
of day, and had continued this practice for
some time without being deteoted. Ho adroit
ly opened the door, by drawing a string fasten
ed.to the latch, with his teeth: and, it is.said,
teat on returning to the stable, he shut the
door."
Between tho years of 1750 and 1760, a Scot
tish lawyer of eminence made a journey to
London. At that period ouch journeys were
usually performed on horseback, and the tray
yeller might either ride post, or if willing to
travel economically, he bought a horse and
sold him at the end of the jonrney. The gen
tleman above alluded to, who was a good judge
of horses, as well as an e'seellent horseman,
had chosen the latter mode of travelling; and
sold the steed on whiOh he,rode.from Scotlan.l.
as soon /IQ 11Q mixed. in_London—_With_a_view
to his return: he went to Smithfield to punimse
a horse. About dusk a handsome ono wee of
fered at so cheap a rate that lie was. led to
suspect that the animal was unsound, but as
he could discover no blemish, ho became the
purchaser. ,
. Next wonting he set out on his journey ;
hie horse had, excellent pncesG • and the few
first miles, while the road was well frequented,
our'lrovellCr spent 'in congrdiulating himself

other servant to take care of his horse, while
in their houses, but his dog Closer, to whom
he gave the reins in his mohth. The horse
stood very quietly, oven in that crowded city,
beside his friend the dog. When it happened

to the stable, accOmpanied by his dog, put the
bridle upon his horse, and giving the reins to
the former, desire him to take the animal to
the water. , They both.understood whet was

distant from the stable, and when the horse
hod quenched his thirst, both returned in the
same playful manner as they ha I gone out.
The -doctor frequently desired Cresol' to
make the horse leap over this stream, which
might be about. six feet broad ; the dog, by a
kind of bark, and leaping up to the horse's
head, intimated to him what ho wanted ; which
woe quickly understood; and cantered off,
preceded by Cresar, and took the leap in a neat
'and regular style. The dog was thep desired

latitudes, from summer to winter, are so
great, that we can have no conception of them

In the Madison .Indiana Daily .Arguty p of

"Our readers will probally all remember
the story of:the Norsiegiatt boy at,Ohicngo,
who woe drowned by some older boys because
he refused' to assist them in robbing an orchard.. .
Some of the papers at Chicago now raise doubts
as to the martyrdom. of the boy, and attempt
to-eccount for his death in acme other vrt. ,

heroism, of the kind imputed to the boy, do t es
not exist in the world at the present time.—
Such editors underrate humanity. A ease of
Morel heroism exceeding that imputed to Hnud
Iverson, occurred in Marquette county in this
State, a little over a year since, the facts of
which were esteblished by judicial investiga
tions, and were . related to us by Judge Leta
bee, who presided at the trial. A beautiful,
fair haired, blue-eyed boy about nine years of
age, woo taken from the Orphan Asylum in
Nlilwaukie and adopted by a resoectable far
mer of Marquette, a professor of religion end
a member of the B.ptist persuasion. A girl,
a little older than the boy, was also adopted
into the same family. Soon after these chil
dren were installed in their new borne the bog
discovered criminal conduct on the part of his
new mother which he fold the little girl, and
it thereby Clime to the ears of the woman;
site indignantly denied the story to the satin"
faction of her husband. and .insisted that the
boy should be whipped till he• confessed the
l'alseheed. The man—poor, weak bigot—him
celled by it sense of religious duty, proceeded
'to the task assigned him, by procuring a bun
dle of rods, stripping the child naked and
i uspending_hina by a cord to_the rafters_of the _
I louse, and whipping him at intervals for
ver two hours, till the blood ran through the
poor, making a pool upon the floor below;
topping only to restnnd interrogate the boy,
?'ad getting no other reply than 4 Pit, I told
l!ie truth—l cannot tell a lie;' the woman all
the.abile urging him to 'do his duty.' The
