FRANCE. On Saturday the 29th, there was a grand military fete of in, entry into Paris of regiments from the Crimea. An t .mense crowd throiiged the streets and banners and Flumplial arches were abundant. 'I‘lie troops marched, amid the enthusiasm oftlie citizens, and tortned around tlte Column of July. The military consisted of the following regiineiits :—'l‘lie twentieth, thirty-iiinth, and fifteenth regiments of the lnie, who distiiigiiislied themselves at the Malakolf; the first Cliasseurs Zonaves, two regiments ot'Voltigeiirs and Artillery of the Guard two regiments of Grenadiers, and the Gens d’armerie oi the Guard.

The Emperor accompanied by Prince Napoleon rode to the Place de Bastile, and pronounced the following oratioti:

“Soi.uii-:its,—-I come to meet you, as formerly the Roman senate went to the gates of Rome to meet its victorious legions. I come to tell you that you have deserved well of your coiintry.—-My emotion is great; for the happiness of seeing you again is mingled with painful regrets for those who are no more, and with painful disapoiiitment that I was prevented tiiyself leading you to battle.

“Soldiers of the Guard as well as soldiers of the Line, you are welcotne—you, all of you, represent that Army of the East, whose cotirage and preseveraiice have once more gloriﬁed our eagles, and rcconquered for France the rank that is due to her. Your country is attentive to all that is passing in the East, and receives you with the tnore pride than she measures your deeds by the obstinate resistance of the enemy.

“I have recalled you, notwithstanding the war is not yet over, because it is just to relieve, in their turn, the regiments that have most suffered. Tlius, every man will be able to claim his share in glory, and the country,

which keeps tip a force of six hundred thousand men, .

interested that there should now be in France a nume- rous army, inured to war, and ready to march wherever ‘ it may be necessary. Preserve, then, your warlike habits, improve upon the experience you have ac uired; hold yourselves iii readiness to respond, if need e, to my call; but on this day forget the trials of'a soldiei"s lifc—thank God for having spared you, and march proud- ly amid your brethren in arms and fellow citizens, whose plaudits await you.’

The troops afterwards deﬁled before the Emperor and Empress, Marshals Magnaii and Canrobert, and the court. .

Every soldier in Paris received two francs grattiity. Admiral Lyons and General Marmara are in Paris.

f.‘Do you really believe, Dr. Johnson,” said a Lichﬁcld lad ,“ in the dead walking after death?” “ Madam,” sai‘ Johnson, “I have no doubt on the subject; I have heard the ‘ Dead March in Saul !’ ”

NAUTICAL Qui:nii:s.—Whether the white caps at sea are worn by the mermaids? Whether fog is mist when it is seen? Whether a ship is more intelligent when taught (taut)thsn otherwise? Whether a sail is necessarily crooked when it is “ bent?”

SOUND M1ixius.—Pay your debts, so that others can pay theirs. Quarrel with no man, and then no man will quarrel with you. Send your children constantly to school, and look in now and then yourself to see what they are doing there. Keep your children in at ni ht, for the evening air is bad for them. Feed your min as well as your body, for that, you know, must go into the scales at last.

Soiissonv complains that he has not the pleasure of Sal Volatile’s acquaintance; nor does he know whether Salt Peter is addicted to drinking.

‘A rouse COQUITTE. A friend asked it pretty little child of six years old,” Which do you love the best- your cat or your doll?” The little girl thought some time before answering, and then whispered in the ear of the questioner, “ I love my cat best, but, please, don't tell my doll !”

LAUGH on.—Lsugh on, and never mind the censure of cynics. Joy is one of the greatest panaccas of life. It bra_ces the nerves, makes the dance to pleasant music, and the very seal ring tignin,with harmonious sounds. It is the delight of the good, makes sunshine when there would be all fog and gloom, promotes domestic happiness, drives awa sorrow, and prepares the mind for the exigencies of the iituro ;.so laugh on, but laugh discreetly, and in due season; Eirliberant mirth does not become anyone.

HASZAR.D'S GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 2:»

How ENGLAND is W.umr:n.—ln noticing Lieutenant Maury’s “Physical Geography of the Sea,” an English Review thus illustrates the beneﬁt which the climate of England derives from the Gulf stream. Those who heard the lectures of Prof. Giiyct will read the extract with peculiar interest.

“ Modern ingenuity has suggested a well known me- thod of warming buildings by means of hot water. Now, the Nortli-western parts of Europe are warmed, in an ex- actly similar inanner—by the Gulf stream. The torrid zone is the furnat-.e: the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, the boilers; the Gulf stream, the conducting pipe; from the bank of Newfoundland to the shores of Europe is the great hot air chamber, spread so as to presenta. large surface. Here the heat, conveyed into this warm air chamber of mid ocean, is taken up by the prevailing west winds, and dispensed over our oivn and other coun- tries, where it is so tiiuch required.

Such, in short, is the inﬂuence of the Gulfstream upon our climate, that Ireland is clothed in robes of evergreen grass; while in the very same latitude, on the American side of the Atlantic, is the frost bound coast of Labrador. In 1818, the harbour of St. John's Newfoundland, was closed with ice so late in the season as June ; yet the port of Liverpool, two degrees further north, has never been closed by frost in the severest winter. The Laplandcr cultivates barley in a latitude which in every other part of the world is doomed to perpetual sterility. The ben- eﬁt thus conferred on our country by the Gulf stream is a remarkable accident in our condition. It obviously de- pends upon the Gulf of Mexico continuing to be a gulf, which however, it might easily cease to be. A subsid- enco'of the lstlimus of Panama to the extent of a couple of hundred fcet—-and such subsidence has taken place in geological times all over the world——would allow the equa- torial current of the Atlantic to pass through into the Paci- ﬁc, instead of being reflected back to our coasts. Britain would then become a Labrador, and cease to be the seat of a numerous and powerful people.”

Tut-2 C0l..l.lF.ltY Vii.i.iicss IN THE Noiii'ii.—Outside is coal, dirt and gloom ; inside all is sprightly and showy, at least in the one best room, and in times of tidiness. The one best room on the ground floor commonly con- tains aii eight-day clock. a good mahogany chest of draw- ers, and a ﬁne four-post bedstead, perhaps with carved posts of old mahogany. A newly-married couple con- siders these articles as indispensable to matrimonial feli- city; and they will begin life witha debt incurred by these luxuries, which they dearly discharge by instalments. Good living is no rarity with these people. Coals are ob- tained for nothing, or a mere nominal charge, and large ﬁres glow in the cottages. In the ﬁne evenings of sum- mer and autumn, the visitors may watch dozens of pit- nieu wending their homeward way after work, disappear- ing into cottages,—then re-appearing with washed per- sons: and, having cast olf all marks and garments of blackness, forth they sally in cloth coats to a neighbour's cot, or not unfrequently to the Wesleyan chapel.

We were at a friend’s not long since, when a girl 0 two summers stood a full half hour by the wall in the evening, and grasped at the shadows, as our rocking chair cast them swaying before her—Eagerly the child would clutch them, as they glided from her hands, she would shout and laugh in her wild glee, till the room rang again. It was amusing to see the child, and pleasant to hear her laughter; but like a shadow, the reﬂection came, that it will be so through life. Hope will lure to reach for that which will elude the grasp, and at an age when disap- pointment will be deeper than now. We remembered one, too, himself a child of two summers, grasping at the smoke wreath from an extinguished candle, and his look of wonder as he found not the curling vapor in his palm. Life itself was but a smoke wreath to him, curling up- ward in beauty for a moment, and then vanishing from earth.—Cayuga Chief.

A sect calling themselves the “Wakemanites,” led" by a woman who appears to be mad, were in the habltof hold- -ing nightly meetings at the house of one Christopher Sly.

from the dead, and her, followers, about a dozen in num- ‘

At the examination, all the parties gave it full account of the particulars, with the utmost unconcern, being under the impression that they had acted perfectly right in put- ting the man to death.—al| of them appear to be insane. The widow Wakeman is 70 years old, has had [.7 child- ren, nine of whom are living, and has been a widow 30 years. She states, that her husband killed her—tliat,she was dead seven hours-—-that two angels raised her and took her to heaven where she saw all the di-.ad—-tlial on her return to earth, she saw her dead body lying there, and felt very bad, because she had got back to this wick- ed world, dtc. The whole account affords a horrid pic- ture of the pitiable state the human mind can assume while inﬂicted with derangement.—Ottawa Citizen.

A Dead Horse is worth 33!? 1-2 in New York. lira hide is sold to the tanncrs, his bones are burned and sold to the sugar reﬁners for reﬁning purposes, and to the far- mers for manure; his meat is pressed and the grease _is used by the soap and candle makers; while the entrails and remnants are fed to hogs. to make food_for home'cot_i- sumption. The average death of horses in that city is twenty-two daily!

The man who loses half an hour of time worth one shilling, and wears his wagon and team equal to two shillings more, by going over a long and rough road, to avoid a plank-road toll‘ of a sixpence, loses just twoiand sixpence by the operation.
