The earth is an old subject—we don't kijyw how -old, Wi w . men have endeav ored to ascertain its age in various ways, and have succeeded verv wed, only differ-' ing in tin ir calculations a few thousand! centuries or so. We Lave several reasons for writing up on tlii-earth, ihj principal one being tiie impeifeet facilities afforded for getting up on tiny o:lu-r plaqet to wiite, Nothing 1 prevents our writing upon the sun or the moon, except the difficulty of getting there I Ihe < arth is tiie tli'rd planet in older from '.he, sqn, and lie Digest within the I belt of the planetoids. We have wonder—j ed, sometimes, whv the* earth did nelt ail to Lersilf, being the Champion of ihe I uiveise.

Although millions of living crea tures sfake tin ir thirst dd y, the quantity of water has not been materially diminish ed for centuries past, at least not since tile introduction of wh >key shops, which prove a great saving of water, and are therefore of immense benefit to navigation.

Any r..ilr.ad uian will tell yon thai. The mean di.-tance from (lie earth to the sun is O3,U(jO.O00 miles, winch is no mean distance, either, when you try to walk it. Ihe earth moves round the sun from west to east, consuming 305 days and 0 hours in every revolution, travelling nights and Sundays. Joshua, it will he remem bered by some of our oldest citizens, once Commanded the sun to stand still, and she is slaiiditig, still. It ain't every fool of a planet that can get urouud the sun. The earth does it, however. She would get . around most anything. The earth turns upon its axis, making one revolution every twenty-four hours, except in Mi xtco—there they have a revolution two or three times a day. The earth and her axis were tiiick as peas together at one time, but one day the earth got down on her axis and fitruid on it. It is revolutions of the earth that make night and da), to everybody but printers and editors who work on morning papers— it is all day with them.

Improper modes of dress, whether ex cessive or inadequate, are fertile somces of disease, and also aggravate an abnormal | state of ihe system by whatever cause pro duced. If our desire "to keep the body warm, we overload it with layers of thick, closely woven fabiic, and thus promote an uudu'* heat at the surface, the effect is to suppress the action of the excretory glands and prevent a fiee perspiration. The vi tiated matter which is thus retained is re absorbed by the. skin and carried back in to tlie system, rendering the blood impure and deranging the delicate mechanism of the glandular structure. Air an 1 light are absolutely necessary for the healthy activi ty of the vesicles of the skin, and those ar ticles of clothing which prevent the admis sion of those two great vital * agents are P O entiiely unfit for use As a free circulation of the blood to all parts ot the human body is requisite to the enjoyment of pi rfe.ct health, so no part ol the bodv should be dressed in such a man ner as ;n the least to obstruct or retard its How. Tight boms, shoes or gloves are therefore detrimental. Gold extremities, painful humors, swellings and caltossilies ace generally the resu.ts of such ligatures. Insufficient clothing i< much worse than too much. The effi-ct of exposure to cold is the immediate contraction of the skin, which suspends the operation of the secre tory and excretory organs, and the matter winch shou.d he discharged from the sys tem is thrown back into the throat, longs or bowels, occasioning those forms of disease which are commonly called ' Cold,' "headache,' "catarrh," "diarrhoea," Ac. / A change of dress from thick to thin is not beneficial unless accompanied by a corresponding change in climate or tem perature, A fashionable lady after wear ing a thick high-necked dress all dav, w iill sout 'ttines array herself in some light, low in eked attire for an* evening paitv. .Buch an imprudent change has frequently been followed by a sudden death. Head cov. rings at the present day are evidently worn by ladies foi display, and not for comfort; ami we are not surprised when we hear this or that one complain ot •Such distress m the head," or "neuralgia.' A tp a fiord real pioti ctuin to the • ead, should l>e large chough to cover the gr-ater part ot it, ami at the same time be j coinfbrta >!y warm, but not so heavy as: to fatigue the .vcaier after half am hours use. ouian's lore, like the rose blossoming in the arid desert, spreads its rays over the barren plain of the htnqan heart, and while) all around it is black and desolate, it rises more strengthened from the absence of ev ery other charm. In no situation docs the love of woman appear more beautiful than tbat of wife ; parents, brethren and friends have claims upon the affections ; but tl.e love of a wife is of a distinct and different nature. A daughter may yield her life 10 the preservation of a parent, and a sister may deVote her-elf to a suffering brother ; but the feeling which induces her to this conduct are not such as those which lead a wife to follow the husband of her choice j thro, gh every pain aud peril that can be fall him ; to watch over him in d inger, t" cheer him in adversity, and ever remain unalterable at his side in the depths of ig nominy and shame. It is an heroic de votion which a woman displays in hei adlieraucc to the fortunes of a hapless hus band. When we behold her in her domes tic scenes, an intellectual, joy brightening the family circle with her endearment j, and loved for the extreme joy which that presence and those endearments are calcu ted to impart, we can scarcely credit that the fragile being, who seems to hold her existence by a thread, is capable of sup porting the extreme, of human suffering ; nay, when the heart of man sinks beueatn the weight of agony, tliut she shou'd main tain her pristine powers ofuelight, and, by her words of comfort and patience, lead the distracted sufferer to peace and re-ig- j nation.

And none so blest as the owl The owl is a game bunl ; he can whip anvthing that wears feathers —after dark. He is a wise burd, and hoots at most things. He is a solemn butd, a cross between a justice of the peace and a country super visor. He is a si iff burd, and sits up as st.ff as an exclamation point He is a luxurious burd, and fcedfi on spring chickens. lie is a long-lived burd, and never win known to take death natura'ly. lie is a hardy burd, and groze tuff bj bileing.
