How to Beeathe.— Civilized man is the only being that breathes through the mouth, which at once shows that it is an unnatural and acquired habit. The Tvild Indian would as soon think of eating with the nose as of breathing thus. The habit is usually acquired in childhood, and is generally the result of breathing impure aii\ It is then the fond mother should guard her offspring with watchful care against this insidious and deadly enemy of her child. Let her follow the example of the wild Indian mother, and give her child the pure air of heaven to breathe, and il perchance it opeDS its little mouth during sleep, let her gently press its lips together, until the habit of keeping them closed becomes fixed for life. The Gekman Empjbe. — The London correspondent of the Argus, writes as follows:- — From a recent work upon the German Court, we learn that the Imperial table is not lav ishly supplied with dainties. The Emperor is so parsimonious that persons asked to his private table, when Crown Prince, were obliged to dine beforehand, in order to make themselves sure of being satisfied, and matters are Dot much better even now. He delight3 to screw out of his private finances enough to cast a cannon or two yearly, and for this good purpose he curtails his wife's pin-money very considerably. She has nothing to buy even a present for a friend. It is certainly possible to be very powerful and also very contemptible. ),
