Phrenology. Phrenology ! the science once condemned and anathematized--the early advocates of which 'vere called apostates to God, and enemies of mankind--the science now es- tablished on a firm basis, and whose found- ers to-day are receiving the homage and admiration of balf a world--who can ex- ress the immense value it has been to Hitnnniey + or who shall say how 'much brighter it is destined to render the path- way of mortals, casting around it the light of joy, and the glorious halo of truth. In every Situation of life wherever human . beings mingle together--in the palace of the monarch, in the senate of nations, at the bar, or in the desk, on the farm: or in the workshop, in the school-room or by the fireside--Phrenology more than any other science is valuable to humanity. Other sciences may add to knowledge already gained, till one may in truth be said to be an accomplished scholar--a ready pupil of Earth's great and immortal, As- tronomy may unfold to you the glory of thagpenvend d show the magnificence and unbounded grandeur of the planetary system; Algebra, Geometry, and their branches, may teach you the laws of ma- thematies ; Chemistry may make you suc- cessful in analyzing different substances ; Botany will enable you to classify and arrange the blossoms that beautify the earth, and "ad infinitum," through the catalogue of sciences. But Phrenology opens to your view a broader, a vaster field. It shows you a grandeur that may be brighter than the stars--it teaches you a higher than a mathematical law--it makes you an analyst of a finer than a chemical substance--it enables you (if I may thus speak) to classify and arrange those crea- tions that will live when the flowers have yielded up their perfume and gone hack to enrich the dust from whence they came. It does all this and even more, for it unfolds to your view the good and bad of every human being you meet, it shows you the motiyes ftom which people act, and tells you the only way by which they can be influ- enced 5 it points out whom you may love and trust, and whispers of whom you should beware. Many there are who object to reading on, Phrenology, unless one can have time to devote to it, in order to become like its great and competent teachers; butas well might one object to a study of Astronomy because one could not be a Herschel. One who has but little truth, is better than one completely ignorant, and as all great truths develope slowly, a few leisure moments given to phrenological science, will prove of immense value to the student, if he reads with a determination to. improvye.-- "Phrenological Journal. Napoleon at Elba. Tn a few days the Emperor, eager to take possession of his future abode, was estab- lished, with his household, his guard, and his sister Pauline, in the buildings of. the ancient chateau and in the principal houses of the town. He hastened to order such erections and improvements to be made as might conduce to the comfort of him- self or his court, together with barracks for his 1,500 troops, He armed and re- viewed the militia of the island, and ani- mated them with some degree of military patriotism, as if he still wished to, keep up the game of sovereignty and love of country, He resumed the habits and surrounded himself with all the luxuries of French palaces, having, to. all appear ance, only changed his seat of Goyernment. This might have been, perhaps, from a de- sire to disarm the suspicions of Europe, from the very outset, by assuming the aspect of a happy ambition easily gratified by such trifles; or he mieht have felt suf- ficiently great within himself, to. preserve, without derision, the etiquette and vanity of a great empire on a desert rock of the Mediterranean; or, he might haye been acting, in conformity with his somewhat theatrical character, the comedy of power and royalty to the audience of his own followers and the Continent of Europe. The autumn of 1814 and the whole winter were passed in this manner by Napoleon; luxury mingling with simplicity, and fes- tivity with retirement in his residence. The wreck of his immense fortune, and the first instalments of the allowance se- cured to him by treaty, appeared to have been deyoted by him to the embellish- ment of the island, and to the acquisition of a small: fleet, destined, as he alleged, to the commercial and military service of his new subjects. To this flotilla he had given a flag as to a naval Power intended to maintain a position, and to make itself recognized and respected in the waters of the Mediterranean. Works of art, furniture, books, and the journals of Europe, arrived for him incessantly from Genoa, Leghorn, and Paris, The eyes of the world were upon this little island. English travelers, with whom curiosity is one of those pas- sions which neither distance nor national shyness can prevent the gratitication of, flocked from London, from Rome, from Naples, and from Tuscany, to gaze upon the man whose hatred had so long made their island tremble, and imprisoned Eng- land within the limits of its ocean, Neither upon the shores of Greece, of Asia, or of Htaly could they find any monument, or pare ti ota = ge as any ruin so imposing as this Prometheus of the West. They gloried in only having caught a glimpse of him;»and in their correspondence and their journals they hoisted of a word or gesture by which the hero, within his circle, might have repaid their importunate adulation. Lon- don and Paris resounded with the lightest step, and the most trifling word of Napoleon, who; on his part, affected to receive the' travellers with ease and grace, as one who had laid aside all arms and conquered all hatred, and who demanded nothing more in this world than an asylum in every heart, a favorable 'souvenir in all imagi- nations. Pauline Borwhese, the most beautiful and most worshipped woman of her time, had transferred her court and attracted her admirers to the island of Elba. She adorned the exile of her brother, eave life and soul to it, impassioned it with her charms, and made it touching by her fidelity to misfortune. She constituted the splendor and the grace, while she did the honor of his saleons. -- Concealing thus, under the guise of pleasure and of trivial eceupations, a more serious and political d-votion, she travelled, under the pretext of visiting her sisters and brothers, fiom Elba to Rome and Naples, and from Rome and Naples to Elba; an ambassa- dress without seeming importance, and free from suspicion, whose very volatility shielded her in the eyes of the Continent from all imputation of sinister intentions. -- Lumartine's History of the Restoration of Monarchy in France.

The poor have health; the rich have delicacies. The rich hang themselves through fear of po- verty ; the poor (such as have always been poor) laugh and sing, and love their wives too well to put their necks into the noose. A Remarxaste Hex.--A gentleman of our acquaintance, in marketing a day or two since, bought from a waggon a hen of ordinary size and appearance, but the great weight of which excited his curiosity, and upon having it killed and cleaned, a re- markable fact was disclosed, and its extra- ordinary weight accounted for--the crea- ture was found to contain twenty-five eggs, eighteen of which were of full size, with yolks and whites although their shells were still soft: the remaining eight were of a yellow color, and varied in size from that of a hickory nut to that-of a cherry.

The law of California is no law with the miners." ; ta The people of the South cannot be participauts in Kossuth's missionary Republicanism. Their pursuits forbid. it; their institutions, safe only under the rule of a conservative policy, forbid it; and it will be an evil day when the contagion "of, this wild-fire takes effect among them.-- South Carolinian. | jie" Were it not for slavery in this country, IKossuth would have met with such a response as would haye driven the Russian Bear to his northern den, there to have remained harmless as a child and in- offensive as a lamb; but as it is, slavery curses every thing in our midst. Nothing of a national character goes out from us tliat is not contaminated by this accursed system. Not a man in the country who hasithe heart of a man, but fecls his nation's deep disgrace like a mountain weight upon his soul.

'There was apparently not the smallest reason to suppose that the omission was intentional, the young man having voluntarily explained that he was so taken with the sudden sight of the horses and uniforms in the cavalcade that he totally forgét everything else.

A person named George P rdom, some seven months ago went out shooting in the neighborhood of Whitby, in England, and whilst engaged in the diversion, his gun burst, hurting his arm severely, but not so badly as to disqualify him from his ordinary occupa- tions. A few days ago he arrived in Galt, and thinking he saw something extraordi- nary in his arm, he applied to Dr. Sea- gram, who on examining the limb, per- ceived that some hard substance was inserted between the muscles and the bone of hisarm. An operation was immediately resorted to, and in a few seconds a piece of the gun barrel, about an inch and a half long was extracted from the man's arm. The piece of iron so lone buritd in the arm of the sufferer, was of of a jageed and very unequal surface! but singular to state the man was never aware that it was driven into his arm, nor had he any idea that such a piece of hardware formed a portion of his carease, till Dr. Seagyam eut it out. The operation was-attended with yery little suffering, aid in an hour afterwards Mr. Purdom was in a condition to resume his business-- Galt.

Povurry axp Ecas.--I doa small busi- hess in raising and putting up garden seeds, and last fall a year ago, as I was cleaning out some red pepper seed in my back yard, I threw the shucks 'and chaff promiscnously about. I soon observed my hens picking them up and swallowing them with great avidity. They soon commenced laying egos, though they had laid none for a month before. I fed them regularly, two or three times a week, since then, with red pepper, and they have never yet stopped laying, Summer or winter, spring or fall, except while they were hatching their chickens; and lam confident, from more than a year's experience, that, by this me- thod, hets may be made to lay the year round.-- Dollar Newspaper.

Femjre Socreny. -- You know my opinion of female society; without it we should degenerate into brutes. This ob- servation applies,' with tenfold force, to young men, and those who are in the prime of manhood. For, after a certain time of life the literary man makes a shift. (a yery poor one I grant) to do without the society of ladies. 'Po a young man nothing is so important as a spirit of devotion (next to his Creator) to some amiable woman, whose image may occupy his heart, and euard it {rom the pollution that besets it on all sides. A man ought to' choose his wife as Mrs. Primrose did her weddine-gown, for quali- ties that will 'ear well." One thing is at Teast true, that ifmatrimony has its cares, evlibacy has no pleasures. A Newton ora mere scholar, may find enjoyment in study ; a man of literary taste can receive in books a powerful 'auxiliary ;'but a man must have a boson friend, and children around him, to cherish and support the dreariness of old age.-- John Randolph. it The Hon.
