The history of gas triatiufacture for illuminating pur- poses, possesses muCh interest in it- self. as showing the great benefits conferred by science, on the arts and domestic economy. In 1785, the preparation of gas for illumina- tion, destructive distillation of wood was suggested; and iii 1792 some buildings were illuminated by this gas in CornWaIl, England, and also in many other places. in 1805 some of the cotton mills in Manchester were illuminated; and this date may be taken as the beginning of gas lights for practical purposes, In less than half a cen- tury, therefore, this manufacture has-fffiined its present importance, and t’lie time is not very remote when the quantity mutually con- sumed in every civiliZed country shall be greatly increased. But turn to the greatest wonder of all, the electric telegraph. The lightenings are now become the messengers of titan. Electric cor- ifspondettce is spreading all over Europe, Asia and America. At this moment Paris, Vienna and Pitts- burgh, can carry on a fireside cor- respondent-e with London ; and perâ€" haps the day is not tar distant when New York and Calcutta shall be able to do the same. The invention of the Steam En- gine also has placed a wonderful power iii the hands of msn.-â€"â€" Stephenson, the inventor, first stated to the House omen- mans, that he hoped at some future Iday to travel with his engine at the rate of fifteen miles an hour he was laughed at, but they were scarcely zloiie laughing before they were traVelling at the rate ol thirty or forty miles an hour; and some lo- comotives can be made to go at the rate of sixty.

The invention of the Telescope has aided the astronomer greatly in his exploration of the starry hea. vens. It is difficult to determine to whom we are indebted for its con- struction, or what is the precise time of its invention. We do not know of any circumstances which would lead us to the conclusion that it was known to the ancients. Gal- lileo is supposed to have invented it, because he was the first who success- fully applisd it to astronomy.

Never stand still a moment out of doors, especially at street corners, after having walked even a short distance. Never ride near the open window ofa vehicle fora single halfminute, especially if it has been pressed by a walk; valuable lives have thus been lost or good health permanently destroyed. - Never wear India rubbers in cold dry weather. , Those who are easy chilled on go- ing out of doors, should have some cotton batting attached to the vest or outer garments, so as to protect the space betWesn the shoulder blades behind. the lungs being at- tached to the body at that point; a little there is worth five times the amount over the chest in front. Never begin a journey until breakâ€" fast has been eaten. ‘ After speaking, singing or preach- ing in a warm room in winter, do not leave it for at least ten minutes, and even then close the mouth, put on the gloves, Wrap up the neck, and put on a cloak or overcoat before passing out of the door ; the ne- glect of these has laid many a good and useful man in a premature grave. Never speak under a hoarseness, lespecnilly if it requires an effort, or gives a hurting or a painful feeling, for it often results in a permanent loss of voice, or long life of invalidism.

Take the year together, day and niglt‘aref about equal ; and were mankind’ within these latitudes to live accm’é’ ding to the laws of life and health in other directions, they would sleep while darkness is on the face of the face of the earth, and be active only during the period in which light was abundant. As a habit a fashion with our people, we sleep too little. It it! admitted by all those who are cums- patent to speak on the subject, that. the people of the United States, from day to day, not only do not get sufficient sleep, but they do not get sufficient rest. By the prepon- dei‘ance of the nervous over tlievi- tal temperament they need all the recuperating benefits which sleep can offer during each night as it passes. A far better rule would be to get at least eight hour’s sleep, and including sleep ten hours ofiu- cumbent rest. It is a sad mistake that some make, who suppose them- selves qualified to speak on the sub- ject, in affirming that persons of a. highly wrought n lrvous tompera-, merit, needâ€"oas compared with those of a more lympatic, or solid organi- zationâ€"Jess sleep. The truth is, that where power is expanded with great rapidity, by a constitutional law, it is regathered slowly; the reaction after a while demanding much more time for the gathering up of hen.r force. the the direct effort demands in expanding that force. Titus a man i f the nervous tempera- merit, after he has established a habit of overdoing, recovers from the elfect of such overaction much more slowly titan a man of different tern- perament would, if the balance be. tween his power to do and power to rest is destroyed. As between the nervous and the lymphatic tempera- ments, therefore, where excess of ‘work is demanded, it will always be seen that the close of the day’s la- bour, whether it has bten of muscle or thought, the man of nervous temâ€" perament who is tired finds it diffi- cult to fall to sleep, sleeps perturbed- ly, wakes up excitedly, and is more apt than otherwise to resort to stimu- lants to place himself in conditions of pleasurable activity. While the man of lympathic temperament, when tired falls asleep, sleeps soundly and uninterruptedly, and wakes Up in the morning a new man. The facts are against the theory that tier- vous tempera merits recuperate quick-v ly from the fatignes to which their possesors are subjected. Three- fourths of our drunkards are from the ranks of the men of nervou tem- perament. Almost all opiumâ€"eaters in our country-Head their name is legionâ€"are persons of the nervous or nervous-sanguine temperaments. Almost all the men in the country who become the victims of narcotic drug medication, are the nervous or nervous-sanguine t mperaments. That the very general habit of de- pendence upon stimulant-s, or stimulo narcotics, is almost entirely confined to persons of the nervous tempera- ment, shows that the taxations to which they subject themselves are not readily reacted from, and that under their methods of living they find it difficult to depend upon the natural force within to make good their losses within the time they al- lot for that purpose. The rule, there- fore, should be the other Way from that which it is supposed to be, name- ly, that persons of liiglily~wrought nervous organization need but little sleep. It should be the habit with such persons to sleep largely, and to insist upon such freedom from exeiw cise both of body and mind, and such external condition of repose, as gra‘ dually to bring the brain to acknow- ledge such relations to the general structure as will enable its various organs to become so refreshed that they may, when duty is resumed, perform it with accustomed yet heal- thy VigOUt‘.'â€"--D!‘. Jackson. We never respect persons who aim simply to amuse us. There is a vast difference between those we call amusing men and those --we de- nominate entertaining ; we laugh with the former and reflect with the latter. God never sends any angel to if. that a human soul but what another follows in its footsteps to heal and to bless. Creditors never annoy a titan as long as he is getting up in the world. A man of wealth only pays his butcher once ayear. Let bad luck overtake him, and his meat bill will Come in. every morning, as regular as breakfast and hungry children.
