THE EMPRESS EUGINIE.

This curious communication comes from the Parisian correspondent of the London .Rllas.— -

" The speculation of the week has all been concerning probability (not the possi- bility) ofthe truth ofa most wonderful ru- mour which has been set afloat, and is dis- cussed with as much defence and opposition as though it were already officially confirm- ed. Tho first colouring given to the tale has been bestowed by the non-success of the journey to Compeigne, which was in- tended to rouse the Empress from the state of discouragement and apathy into which she had fallen, and which is beginning to give great uneasiness to those who love her, but which has failed in its object most com- pletely. First of all, the miserable state of the weather, which impresses a deeper gloom on that country than any other; than the souvenirs which the visit was intended to conjure, instead of producing the tender emotion, the birth of which the place had first borne witness, somehow seemed to awaken sentiments ofn totally different na- ture, and to increase the melancholy de- pression which has settled like the witches curse upon one who was not so very long ago the gayest being in the world. It seems, indeed, as ifthe spot were fatal to all mirth. The last visit in dismay, when Edgar Nay received the bullet intended forthe Empe- ror, and which has disabled himmscr since, and prevented his oflicinl nee at court till the other day, when th rush- ing at the horse which bore the press, tore open the wound scarce hcalo a yet, and left him nmre crippled than before.

e ,.

upon the Empress. her flight, which was once limited with bur ing desire to Spain and her mother's hous has now become an object of indifference. North, south, east, or west was said to be all alike to her, provided France he Iett be- hind. is ream of change has become one sole object of her life, and every other pursuit than that of preparation for depar- ture, has grown utterly distasteful. fur the truth. Now for the suppositions and deductions which have, as usual, been or- rayed ns realities by the very people from whom they first emanated. The Emperor, in order to dissipate the malady, which has laid such hold upon the very nerve and spirit of his lnir young wife, after calcula- ting and weighing in his tniod the various advantages to be obtained by a journey abroad, and rejecting the Rhine and other autumn sojourns, has at last hit upon the most wonderful stroke of policy hitherto in- vented by his hold and fertile brain, finer in its way than the coup d’clo!, more auda- cious than the Orleuns confiscation, more cunning than the escape from Ham, more self-reliant than the echuu_fl‘ourrees of Struts- burg or Boulogne, and more apparently im- possible of execution than his proclamation of the Empire. He proposes, in short, taking the Empress Eugenie to England, for the purpose of introducing her in person to his good friend, ally, and cousin, Queen Victoria! To describe the sensation which the announcement has created in certain re-unions would be utterly impossible. No one pauses to examine into its truth, so borne away are we all by the agitation and excitement of the moment, and the loudest discussions are carried on at every cafe and reading room concerning the effect this ex- traordinary incusitre will produce, before it is even certain that the thing has ever been contemplated. Above all, the indignation with which the rumour has been received by the English is the most -amusin to wit- ness. They cannot realise the lt'l(‘l| ofa visit of this nature, and desi note the step as one more extraordinary than any which has been taken yet."

TEMPERANCE A PART OI’ EDUCATION.

There are vast sums of money expended, and it great waste of time and labor, in hopeless efforts to reclaim the confirmed inebriate-—the thousands who have become fixed in their drinking habits—éwho have

rown grey in the use of ardent spirits.

hey tell yoti, they cannot do without it— that their teddy or their wine is as essential to them as their bread or their beef.

Now there is some truth in this plea; experience every day confirms it. Need we wonder at the fccble headway the cause of temperance is making? We have begun at the wrong end-—we are workin downwards, alas, to little purpose The isease lies at the root ofthe tree, and vain is it to I off the branches. It is the same with cr me. What a harvest is growing up in the children at the uncured for poor-—the deuilene of the dock, and the market-house, the little pil- fsrers that swarm like flies about the busy mart of commerce! In a few years behold the mature thief-the house-breaker-—tlie assassin at‘ our midnight walks! 0. yes. we

So_

have built fine prison-houses for them —-mas- sive and safe! But does that mend the mat- ter-—docs that cure the disease is vice less productive among us? Ask the records of the cous-t.s—-ask the daily items of our newspapers.

Btsrblessiiigs upoh some wise and good men, who have taken the initiatory steps in this needed reformation. Visit that plague- spot once of the city—the iniquitous Five Points, and see what they are doing there. Blessings upon the self-sacrificing men no women engaged in tli tnoble cause. They have struck at the , and ere many years roll over, we shall lbehold the healthy flourishing tree, Vlé and crime will be banished, and the prison-doors will grow

rusty.

Why should we not, therefore, introduc Temperance in the school-room—in the pub- lic school—the high g:hool—the academy —the college? Temperance should be as much a study as history or mathematics.

There should be books specially prepared or it. The thousand advantages of absti- nence, and the myriad evils following from a contrary course should be fully and clearly set forth. Caleclsisnssshould be prepared by compctent minds, with simple and easy questions and answers for the very youngest scholars. Physiology, so much taught now, should go hand-in-hand with the study of Temperance. As the pupil advances he could be taught to see how that beautiful piece of mechanism, the human body, he- comes marred and disnt-dered—how insidu- ously the poison paves the way for death in a thousand forms!

0, there is work to be done here, for the rising generation; a world of work. VVho will set about it-—who will write the first

lass book on Temperance? Who will first incorporate the study of it as a branch ofa thorough English education.--Union flrls.

PHYSICAL RECREATION.

Bodily exercise is one of the most impor- tant means provided by nature for the maintninance of health, and in order to prove the advantages of exercise, we shall show what should be exercised, andthe modes by which it may be adopted.

The human body is in a reality a machine, the various parts of which are beautifully adapted to each so that if one suffers all must suffer. The bones and muscles are the parts on which motion most depends. There are 400 muscles in the body, each performing a specific duty.—They auist the tendons in keeping the bones in their places and put them into motion. Whether we run, walk or sit, or stoop, bond tbv head, arm or leg, or chew food, we may " said to open or shot a number of binge _ ‘ ball and socket joints. It is a pt-ovis' of nature that, to a certain extent, the more the muscles are exercised, the stronger do they become; hence mechanics, laborers, farmers and others, are stronger and more muscular than those whose lives are passed in easy, light, and professional dullel. Be- sides streugthenlng the limbs, muscular ex- ercise has a most beneficial influence on the circulation ofthe blood and on reapin- tion. The larger blood vessels are gener- ally placed deep among the muscles, con- sequently when the latter are put into mo- tlon,,the blood is driven through the arte- ries and the veins with greater rapidity than when there is no exercise; it is more completely purified, as the action of the in- seusible pen iration is promoted, which

thus diffuses a feeling of lightness and cheerfulness over body and mind. Recreation should be taken which will exercise alltlie muscles. Most of our city employers com el the workers to stand or sit in unnatura positions, using only a few of their muscles, while the others remain comparatively inactive. Tailors, sawyers, shoemakers, watchmakers, an many 0- thers, such as cotton-s inners, dress-mak- ere, present either aw ward movement in limbs or eyes, or are sickly or sallow look- ing. Such parties are commonly affected with indigestion, giddiness, headache, or diarrhaaa. erchants, storekeepers, lew- yers, writers, &c., pass weeks without ex- ercise in the open air, and when 0 porta- nity offers, they have lost the inclination. These parties suffer from indigestion, cos- tiveness, cancer of the stomach, and stag- nant circulation of the blood and all its attendant maladies. Now there is no re- medy for the evils referred to, but taking advantage ofthe ummer, and enjoying as much bodily exercise and out door recrea- tion as possible. It is quite a mistake to consider the labor ofthe day as equivalent to exercise. Work of any kind is a more routine process, carried on with but little variety of circumstances, and n more change of scene and air are beneficial. To derive the greatest amount of benefit from exercise, it shou be combined with amusement, and thus a botanic and rural hunt is both pleasurable and recreative. lfthis important fact was borne in mind b parents, teachers, and employers, mtich fewer would be the victims to liceutious- ness, drunkenness, and disease. Athletic sports, and out-of-door exercise of every description, are no less conducive to the perfect health of the young of both sexes. Wherever there is a physical depression, there must be it disposition to resort to mental, moral, or injurious physical stimu- lants.—Farmer and Mcchatsic.

BLESSINGS OF THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

There are some “ fanatical individuals -" who are continually moaning about the evils ofthe Liquor Traffic, and are endea- vouring to get a law passed to suppress it. Poor infatuated mortals! They would de- prive their fellow-creatures of the privilege ofgetting drunk! Infamous outrage on the rights of American citizens!-—Down with such odious doctrines! Give the people the right to get gloriously drunk when and where they please. Getting drunk hclps a man on so rapidly in the world, it renders his family so astonishingly happy, and raises him in the esteem of his fellow- men. Besides, Liquor helps digestiun—— can’! get along without it, unless the “lunatic ,-' wish to kill off the human family wi ‘_ dyspepsia!

hen tlior-‘e are the housewives who know how to serve? up rare dishes, are they to be deprived of the necessary ingredients to do it? Are the_people to be deprived of rich preserves, pies, &c., to please a few fana- tics? No! the Liquor traffic ferever! If people will get drunk constantly, it is no fault ofthe Liquor Traffic; ifthey couldn't get drunk perhaps they would do something worse. he iquor traflic is not to blame for the faults ofhumun nature, and that man is not capable of self-government. he would discountenance the Liquor Trallic after reading the following’! No sane person would wish to deprive mortals of such luxury, or put the etuffthat reduces our fellow-creatures to such a state he end their reach! It is related in the oily Times, the place described is the locality of Five Points.

“ During oiio of the oppressively warm days which we have endured oflate, the narrator was called to visit one of the dila- pidated and filthy habitetions of Cow Bay. He was informed that a corpse lay unshroud- ed in one ofthe upper rooms, and straight- way proceeded to ascerthin whether such was the case. The story was true, and the scene before him was such as to shock every human sensibility. The writer has witnessed the mangled bodies ofthe living and the dead, mingling, a homogenons mass, with broken cars and shattered ,.engines; has seen the writhings of the mortally scolded victims ofthe steam-boiler explosions again and again; has‘viewed, day after day, the scores ofthe dead that lay so long in an advanced state of decom- position on the river's shore "at Yonkers alter the burning of tlie steamer Hen Clay,—-but never has he witnessed, in a single scerie,_aught so sickening in all its variety as that which presented itself to the gentleman who gave us the description.

“ The building is fiVeat‘or¥eh in height, and its crumbling walls, [teen lrom the accumulation of noxious inpours, surround- ed near one hundred miserable creatures of crime and starvation.—The room in which the cor;-I0 lay is about twelve feet square, and in_ it twenty wretches, white gnd black, reside.

decaying for several days. There it lay in the corner of the room, a mass of cor ruption. Near to it were three females, one white and two coloured, sleeping the unrefreshing sleep of drunkenness. The others, maleand female, black and white, were sitting or lying upon the floor, and so stupified by ium, noxious vapours, and the intense heat, that when interrogated as to how long the corpse had lain in the room, they could not give an intelligible answer. The vvortliy young man was notwithstand- ing the poisonous condition of the atmos- phere, determined to accomplish that which e had so laudibly undertaken, and stepping carefully over the "living dead," he reached the corpse. It was that ofa white woman, ‘apparently about twenty-five years of age. She had doubtless been dead several days, for the form and features were discolored and distorted——so much so, that the body could not be identified. The taste that had been displayed in the dress than upon the body, ttllhou h much faded, betokcned that its now loot some occupant had not been reared in the dens offilth and infamy.

Our Kiss nsrons P.ut'ritvo.—A lady of fashion (the well known Mar-chioness of Finsbury) had been loitering for nearly In our in a. fashionable music-shop. She had purchased a copy of nearly every piece of music that had a sentimental tale. She had sent into her carriage a whole cantcrfury full of" Love" going through every mood ofthe feeling, past, present, or future, on was following their example, when sh paused upon the step, as if meditating whether she would take it, or some other step that was evidently turnin itself over mind. The shopmnn who he been some- what moved by the tender tone of voice in which she had asked him, “Wilt thou have me then as now?” watched her with anxiety that betrayed itself to plainly in the adjustment of his shirt-collar, and the ar- v-e of his hair. chioness seemed resolved. As with one bound she cleared the pavement and, breath- less pale, her auburn ringlets fluttering in the wind, stood once before the admiring shopman: “I had nearly forgotten” she said, in a voice that seemed to veil her blushing words—“Dear! dear! Icannot tell where my head is to-day. I have come back to ask you if by chance ere she paused, as i to take new courage, whilst the trembling shopmnn poised his two thumbs elegantly on the mahogany counter, and leant his body inquiringly for- ward. “You can give me one kiss before parting!” “Ma-a-a-a—d-a-ml” exclaimed the astonished shopmnn. “I want you,” repeated the Marcbioness, "to let me have one kiss before parting, if you please.” She raised her beautiful blue eyes full upon his. Springing over the counter, he seized hold of the Mnrchioness’s fair form, and, then and there, gave the kiss so earnestly begged for. To his great astonishment, the only return the Marchioness made was to give him a tremenduous box on the car. This was followed by a volley of blows dealt by her parasol over his head, that never ter- minated till the police came into the shop. The affair was carried to Bow Street, but was soon dismissed, upon it being explained that “One Kiss before ar-ting” was the title of a song, which the unsophisticated shopman, blissfully green from his native fields had never heard of before. It was a favorite joke with the old Duke to ask the Marchionees whenever she was at the piano ifshe would mind giving just “One Kiss before Parting.”
