Never go to France,
Unless you ktiow the lingo,
Ifyott do, like me
Yott’ll_i'epe_ut, by Jingo!
Staring like a fool
And silent as a mummy,
There [stood alone,
A nation with a duminy !
“ Chaises stand for chairs.
They christen letters “Billles.”
They call their mothers ‘mares,’
And all their daughters ‘fillies 1’
Strange it was to hear:
I’ll tell you what was a good'un;
They call their leather ‘qut-.cr,’
And all their slices are ‘wooden’.
Signs 1 had to make
For every little notion;
Liitibs all going. like
A telegraph in tiiotion:
For winel reel’d about,
To show my meaning fully.
And make a pair of horns,
To ask for ‘beef and bully.’
If I wanted bread,
My jaws I set :1 going;
And asked for new laid eggs,
By clapping hands, and cro'.viiig!
Ifl wislted a ride,
I'll tell you how I got it;
On my stick, astride,
I made believe to trot it!
MISCELLANY.
iii.-XRY LOVI‘-ILL.
It was in the leafy month of June, said
the siruiiget‘, as we sat l.(lgrl.hlf'I' in the coun-
try inn. waiting till the Stage coacli, in vrhicli
we had been O\'l"IIlIfl'l€(l, SIIOUIKI be i't-p:-iii‘ed,
on one of those calm crystal evenings only
seen in the S(tt)ll’ti'l'7l cliinates,thatl first
saw Mary Lovell. the youthful. be\\'ltcbin,q
Mary! I was introdu.'ed to her at a ball,
wlto-re miisic. flu.-ti-rd around, where the per-
ftimtsof fl0\\t’l'S lIll(‘i'lll]t.':1l|‘, &. where voices‘
sweeter than the note of the niglitiugalc, fill-
ed the soul with ccstncy. And the most
melodious of all voices nus that of M:iry.—
ii! I l0Vt(I her from the first iiioiucnt I
bcht-l.l her.
That night will live in my memor_v for
ever. Uni‘ be-arts soon grew closer, and err-
long She was leaning on my arm, llSlt'fll(lg
to my burning ivortls,for a strarige eloqui~rict-
bad sciz d inc. The merry laugh from the
gardcns reached out cars, and thither we
went. It was :1 glorious night. Tito labil-
scape was bathed in‘ the liquid light of the
silvt-r moon. not a shadow of floating cloud
or mist for a moment dimmed the splendor,
but like a bright creation from the pencil of
Cl rude, the garden lay bk'fol‘0 us. A river
flntv-.*(l below us, and catching the iwflectinn
from the trees its waves flung l.l1t'D a9_'t1lt1lnl0
our cars The air was mild and redolent
with petfuine. With a griitlcness which
scarcely lifted the sunny curls from l\‘l.ir_v’s
nr-ck, it funnt-d our temples, and tvafted thi-
breith of myi'i:ids of flowers iu'o our faces.
Think you not that I then ‘was lnippy _? 1
have ho.-ird the glowing words oftbe Orien--
t.-il Iiitprovisatore, I have dwelt €‘nl‘aplul‘cd
upon tho-ii‘ brilliant iinaginirigs, and (lft‘tlll'lt’(l
with them of llt-‘at-'t’l'}S and houris, tE.l my
leaping lit-art almost burst with ccstacy, bu‘:
still c-xperir-nct-d not the bcatituile with
which I listcnetl to the low, soft voice of
Mary L’l\'Ell. ‘he mother’s heart swells
deliglit as she first cal-‘hes the prattle of her
worshippt-d infant; the devotee.-‘s boso:n
glows as his excited iiiiagination pictures to
him the C0l’lSllmlll='Il.lOn of his long cherished
and loftiest (tSl}lt‘:1llt)nS-IJUI what are they
to the bliss of love?
Loni: and secretly I loved, but with a
natural diffitlrnce I barred my passion with
in my breast till it could no longer be con-
tained. At last it burst its confinement. and
I reveziled it. Agziiii it was on a festive oc-
c:tsiot‘i,—-in that very garden where I had
first learned to love. And it was I'(“CIj')l'0C‘I
led. My wildrst (ll"“fl.'t'lS were now realized.
The hand of :\l.ii'_v Love.-ll was now clasped
in mine; l1ei‘largt-,ilet-p blue eyes were
beaming love on me with it language before
whose power and eloquence words fall pow-
erless and |1l'll’ItPO.llll)g. I poured out my
beart’s burning contents into her ears—the
deep founts of her heart answered in her
cl1eeks—with every word her heart beat a
response, and the pressure of her band con-
firmrd it. This was rt rapturous moment——-
she l]‘ttl just ll{)l)lll‘Clt’tlPf.l the passion which
happiness. when a figure started up and
interrupted us. A moment satisfied me it
was Howard St. Iohn.
This man had long love-d Mary I_.ovell,
but his passion was not rcciprocated. The
gentle spirit of Mary shrank from his stern,
but impt-tuous n:itui'e. Rich and little used
to being thwarted in his desires. he had be-
come wayward and incapable of governin_g
himself in the least. Every person hadsub-
initted to his br-bests, till be imagined that
for him to speak was to be obeyed. He was
a creature ofthe most impetuous and uugov-
ernable passion, impulsive and quick in his
determiiiutions, and dreaded by all who knew
him.
It was this man who now so sudrlenly
placed himself before the object of my adora-
ticii. The fire of his dark eve flashed on
her, the curl of bis lip grew deeper, and the
scorn with which he gazed at her became
black and with:-ring in its expression.
Mary Lovell, spoke he, as he lolded his
arms.
Why are you not as is generally vour
wont among the dancers ? Here is no place
for one so lovely as you-—permit me to lead
you where men of rank and wealth may
gaze upon you and be enraptured.
Howard St. John. this gentleman will lead
me where you desire. spoke Mary Lovell.
recoiling from him like the sensitive plant
when touched by some rude hand.
And pray .-ir, who are you ? cried St.
.I.ilin q=iii'kly turning upon his heel, and
looking kt-crily in my face. The blood
tllflflnlfd into my teinples—witha scorn
equalling his own, Iscrutinized the dark
features of the intruder, and ‘threw back
ag.-iiii,his eagle gaz‘. The-re was a coliti-
ncss in my unstvt-r which astonislietl me,
knowing, as I did, Il'lt3.ltllpt‘IUOSl’._V of my
tetttper when arouse-d.

um-aithly and furious nature which Chat‘-

Ithe coach had been iur-oiled and not a
:1 moment he disregard--d me.
M:-try I_.o-at-ll, spoke lie, I have loved you
long and ardently. Witt-n the world has

a monient they were bleached to Pariun

“Howard St. John, I [r/cc anal/utr."
St. John slowly raised his huutl and press-
ed it against his firehttal-—he closed his
ttycs and stztggi-red asjatttst :1 i.l't’C'—lllS breast
lieavctl with IIIP wil'lr=st throes, and his fict-
lost its color. It was but a nioitst-itt—-lilie
-the wild tigt-i‘ when she bcholds ht-.r offspriiig
about to be torn from her, St. John .~pl'21l}_'._I
from his leaning posture. Hts ashy lips
were firitily ('()tllpI't‘SSt'(.l against his closi—2.l
tccth—his eyes rm-e wild. and their expres
sion furious. The nrxt instant he lcttpl.
upon me almost before I suspt-men’ his pur-
pose, With it drawn pocniard in his h:md.—
The first intimation I had of his intention
was betratyrcl by the gleaming of the steel in
the mooitliglit.
Ila! he hiss:-d, h:iv.=- I been supplanted

ff.‘$ISl.llll(‘, for he had wound his arm tiy_2‘htly
around mo, and for the time I was !lt'ft’llC&’-
less, a bond caught his and arrested the
blow.
Quit-lr as liglitiiing, St. John, now trans-
ported by passion into a fIr.’ll(l, sprang on
.\I-try who bzil thus llllt-'l‘p0St‘tl, and, though
I dartel to l)t:‘l‘ side with equal speed, I was

A DOLLAR A DAY AND FOUND.

morning, with the inquiry ‘if he would like

. ‘Sure Sir, and it’s thatsrtme I'm looking
afther,’ said Paddy, in rich broguc, which
won upon the heart of him by whom he was
addressed, and who immi-diately replied, '1
she had so long cherished for me—h-=1‘ lips’
had just uttered the words which scaled myl _ . ,
'this.and my going home lorma./es will bother

of Erin. ‘as I livea good bit of away from
me day’s work, while an extra iiioutb at yer
honor’s table is nothing at all, I’ll just come
for a. dollar a day and you shall find me.’
This was agreed to; and as Pat had his
rent to pay the next day, and wanted some-
thing for the cliiltlers, the gcntleriiun paid
him four (loll irs on the spot. and the work
-was to commence the next day. The next
day, however, and the next, and than the
whole four days passed by, and Pat was nev-
er seen at the garden or the gate!
It might have been a month after the oc-
currence related took place, when the parties
meeting by accident in the street, Pat was
accosted by his fortner employer in an angry
tone. with
‘Well sir, and why did you not come to
work for me. according to your agreement ?’
‘Sure sir,’ said the Irishman. (with a re-
spectful twitch at the rim of his well worn
tile.) ‘its meself that was ready to do my
part of the bargain; but yer honor’s at fault

And pray how ?' asked the other.
']t’s yourself ’i|l not deny your honor

‘And didn’t I give you a dollar a day, and

‘Thrue for yoti; your honor did that same

In the first place he sboul-.l endeavor to
igive a clear cone:-piion of what the princi
‘pl! S of physiology were, that were lnvolvcd
in the f. ediug and growth of animals. Veg-
etablos, in their growth, derive all their food
from the mineral kingdom, principally from
the all‘, which had been called a gaseous
mineral; whilst zmiinuls d.~:i“:vc their princi-
pal nutriincnt directly from the vegetable
l(lng=.'l0"Il. Vt-gvtabl s i-flected many chem-
ictl chingcs in the food they took up, atti-
uials few. Gluten and nlbumr-n are the nu.
trirnt principles of plants, and in chemical
composition they are id.-ntical with thealbu-
men of the white of an egg, ofthe muscle of
an ox, or the blood of a sheep.
Plants, in fact, contain within them the
flesh of animals, and all lh.itat1ltnnloi'g:tni-
zition does in nutrition, is to put this flesh in
the right place. But aniinals teilte up with
their fool other constituents of plants which
i:-zmtain no nitrogen; such are starch, sugar,
gum, &.x.'. These are not nutritive princi-
ples; they do not assist in making the flesh
of aiiiutals; and when animals are fed on
these alone, they die. But animals possess
rt curtain degree of heat, and their bodies
have generally a teinperaturc above that of
the atmosphere——about 100 dcgrres of Pub-
renl1eit’s thermometer. \Vbe-nee than comrs
this heat? From the burning of the sugar,
starch. gum, &.C. The air that uuiiuals ex-
pire is carbonic acid, the very gas that is
produced by the burning of wood or char-
coal in a fire. Chnrcoil is carbon, and ani-
mals take in daily a large quantity of car-
bon iu their food.
bustion of this substance in the body that
produces animal beat. In hot countrics,att-
imals on this account take lt‘S$ carbon. The
food oftlie East Iitdian contains only about
I2 pct‘ cent. of carbon; whilst that of the
GiFt’t:'nlz1n(.lt’l‘ contains 70 per cent. The de-
praved taste of the Grecnlandcr, who drinks
train-oil anrl eats talloiv candles by the dozen
might be pitied or wontlcrvd at; but it is
necessary to his healthy t-xistcncc. Another
reason for animals acquiring carbonaceous
food in cold climates is, that the air is more
condensed, and the same measure contained
a greater quantity of oxygen, that gas being
the agent which, by uniting with the carbon
and forming carbonic acid, gave out the heat.
Strong exercise, also demands a large sup-
ply ofcatbonaceous food, on account of the
oxygen taken in during the hard breathing
thus produced. Oxygen when once taken
into the system. never escapes uncorttbincd,
and would destroy the whole fabric of the
body unless it fresh supply of material was
given.
I If it were not for some power or force
within the animal fabric, it would soon be-
come a prey to the chemical action of oxy-
gen. The force that withstands this action
is vitality-—a principle independent of the
mind, and which constantly opposesthe de-
structive chemical laws to which the body is
subject. Disease is the temporary ascendan-
cy- of the chemical over the vital force.——
Death is the victory of the chemical force.
A dead body exposed to the action ofoxygen
is soon resolved into its primitive elements-
carbon, hydrogen. and nitrogen. in the form
of carbonic acid, ammonia and water; and
these are the elements from which plants
again prepare materials for the living body.

It is the burning or coin-l
l These facts will explain many facts known
the agricultuiists, and will assist him in
élftsllllllg more certainly many of the objects
fol his labors. It is very well known that
icattle do not I=.llif‘n so well in cold wcther as
gin hot. The reason is this: The fat is a
‘highly carboniz.-.~d substance, formcdby the‘
animal from its carbrmaccous food. In cold
_“'93llt€t’_. the carbon in this food is consumed
3_n liceptitg up the heat of th%anim:_il,. which
Its‘ at that se-i:s_oa more rapidly carried ofi'.—-
'l his lS also illustrated by an experiment
made by Lord Ducie at Whittield. One-~
hunilrcd sheep were placed in a shed and ate
:20 pounds of Si'.'t‘{lt=S each, per (lav ; anctber
hundred were placed in the open‘ air, and
ate 2:’) pounds of S\\’&‘Ll{'S per (lav: yet at the
cnd of a certain period the sheep which were
piotectetl, although they had a fifth less food
weighed 3 pouudsa head more than the
the unprotected sheep. The reason of this
is obvious: the exposed sheep lad their car-
bonaceous food consumed in keeping: up
their aui.-unl heat. Warmth is thus seen to
be an equivalent for food. This is also il-
lustratt-d by the fact, that two hives of bees
do not consume so much honey when togeth-
~er as when separate, on account of the
\\'i'Il'lYlll'l bi ing greater; and they have less
iocvasion for consuming the honey which is
their fuel. Cattle-, for the same reason.
thrive much bitter when kept warm, than
wltcn exposed to the cold. The cause of
animals getting fat is, that they take in
more carbonaceous food that: they requir'e
for prodticinq animal heat; the consequence
is, that it is deposited in the cellular tissue
in the form of fat. Fat is an unnatural pro-
duction, and its ztccuiitulution not necessary
for socuriiig the health ofthe body. ‘When
stored up, however it will servethc body for
keeping up its animal heat, and bv this
means, its life till it is all consumed. ‘An in-
stance is related of a at pig having been kept
without food lot‘ I00 days, having been kept
alive by its own f..t. Another element nec-
essary to be taken into consicleration in the
fattening ofanimals is motion or exercise.—-
Every acti-on of the bodi,r—nav, everv
tlioiiglitof the mind is attended with chemi-
cal change: a portion ol the deposited tis-
sites are thus beiiig constantly consumed.--—
t is on this account that when animals are
fattened, they are kept quiet and still. The
cruel pratjtict-. of fatze.-niitg geese by nailing’
their feet to the floor, and ofcooping pigeons
and chickens before they are killed, arises
from a knowlt-dge of this fact. When pri-
zes it are given by our agricultural societies
for fat, aurl not for symiur-try. animals were
strictly pi‘cvt=nli?(l from taking any exercise
at all. lvir. Cltildt-rs found that sheep which=
were kept quiet and warm, fattened much
faster than those. that were allowed the open
air and action. It is very difficult to fatten‘-
sliecp and oxen in July, on account of the
flies, which stingirtgthem, keep. them, in a
stzite ofconstetnt motion. The Cornish mi»-
nets. on account of the laborious nature of
their occupations, consume more food than
labor-its with lighter work. During the late
riots in IJtnC:l5l'tll'€ the poor unemployed op-
r,-rutives found out that exercise and cold made-
them hungry; accorditigly, they kept quiet
in bed. and lieaped upon themselves all the
covering they could find. Englisltmcn in
the Ens. ladies are obliged to take a great.
deal of exercise. because they will insist on’
leating an-.l drinking highly carbonized foods,
and the heat of the climate not allowing the
escape of much heat from the body, they are
obliged to take in by exercise the oxygen of
the air, in order to destroy the caibon which
would otherwise accumulate in the system,
and produce liver disease. In the Scotch
prisons, the quantity of food givrn to the pris-
oners is_ regulated by the kind of Work on
which the prisoners are engaged, the hard-
est work having the most food. The reason
of the flesh oftbc stag becoming putrid short-
ly after its death arises from the quantity of
oxygen which it takes into its system duiinm
the bard breathing of the chase. A huntezrpx
hate, for the same reason is as tender as one
that has been kept a fortnight after being
lsbot. The reason is the same. In both ca-
lst-s the action ofthe oxygen on the flesh pro.

on the same principle, was at one time ren-
dered more delicate by whipping the pig to
death. Epileptic fits produce great emacia-
tion on account ofthe violcutaction to tvhiclr
they expose the body. Lord Ducic has per-
formed some experiments highly illustrative
of the foregoing illustrative principles, and
which also indicated what might be expected
from their application to the practice of
grazing. lst. experiment. Five sheep were
fed in the open air between the 21st of Nov,
