Dr. Edwards took a considerable number of frogs in this stale, and dividing them in'o two portions, placed them tinder water in similar circumstances, except that tho one portion was exposed to light, and the other was excluded from it. This difference had the very remarkable effect of retarding the transformation of the latter lo the state of perfect frog. Whilst the tadpoles in the light had undergone this change, several of thn-o in tho dark rntaitied their original form, but had greatly increased in size.

The following is an extract from n work now publishing in England, by Mr. Alison, it being a Himoiy of Europe, during the.French Revolution. "Tho end of thesame year witnessed the resignation of the presidency of the United Stat"cs of America by General Washington, and his voluntary retirement into private life. Modern history has not so spotless a character to commemoraic Invincible in resolution, firm in conduct, incorruptible in integrity, ho brought to the helm of a vic torious republic the simplicity and inno- f rural life : he wax lorccd into r.tniBshv circumstances, rather than led imn ii hv inclination, and prevailed over enemies rather by the wi.dom of his .lnsirrnn.and the perseverance of his charac ter, than any extraordinary genius for the art of war.

It appears lliaLthrec thousand years ago.

Tho number slain and murdered, as lar as we can ascertain is very little snort of a thousand. How far the pt-oplo of Texas acted prudently and judiciously to enter into this war wo will not inquire) jtist now. Should tho force of the enemy pro. vail in Texas, it is not unlikely they may be toined by a host of savages and rebellious negroes .' and we may ba involved in war and dreadful calamities.

When a person calls whose company is not desired, it is only ueceasary to lurn tho Plate, when the simple but significant, and often lying words, "not at home," is pre sented to the, eye of the applicant.

Decoration naturally comes after use ; we build our houses before wc deck them. But in the advancement of society there is a stage at which men always set a value upon ornament.

To mechanics and other working men, this subject is peculiarly interesting. Tho confinement of their daily toils creates Iho want ol just such relaxation and rclrcsli ment as hive been indicated. And let it bo remembered, that in our country, even the poor man should cultivate his taste, bo cause every poor man Iooks forward lo the time when ho shall be rich.

The Now Orleans Bee oftlic 23th has the following paragraph on the subject. "Formerly he tested the principle in many experiments made at the charity Hospital, which Mr. (now Dr.) Picton incorporated in a medical treatise for a graduate's diplo ma: and lately he liasprnvedin many caes sent to his own hospital--tho Franklin In firmary. Reasoning on the singular fact that the clad body never had pitted marks and that the exposed members generally had. he inferred that this originated from the want uf light, whoso effects on cutan eous diseases are already known. He sep aratcd one pari of tho body, on which ho allowed lho light to fall day and night, and had the superior members completely sha tied by rugs from its effects. 1 he conse quence was that tho exposed parts were strongly pitted on tho recovery of tho pa. tientu, whilo no marks remained on the parts shaded. This is a happy discovery, and doubly so when the same system being used will change a maltgnantstago into a mild. This has also been fully attested by Dr. Luzen burg's experiments. The learned doctor believes that diseas. es oT the eye might be similarly treated with equal success, and indeed most culan. eous diseases .- as their virulence is chiefly caused by the light the absonco or depriv. ation of which will obviate their malignancy and promote the utility of proper remedies. jACK50NVII.Lt".
