A respectable writer gives the following description of the festival of Juggernaut: Loud were the shouts of triumph which greeted our ears as we approached the temple of Juggernaut Immense were the multitude that thronged around, and thousands would no more have been missed than a single grain from n handful of the finest sand, lu a few minutes' space, we stood in front of the idol, raised upon its enormdus car, and surrounded by a whole host of priests and devotees. The first sensations which I experienced on approaching it, were tho*e of horror and disgust; but, alas! how were these sensations in a tenfold degree increased before the ceremonies of ttiat day were past.

Music in Man.?The universal disposition of hiim.nn h.>in/rs. from the cradle to the deathbed, o ? to express their feeling in measured cadences of sound and action, proves that our bodies are constructed on musical principles, and that the ' harmonious working of their machinery depends on the movements of the several parts being timed to each other, and that the destruction of ' health, as regards both body and mind, may be well described n6 being out of tune. Our intellectual and mon?l vigor would be better sustained if we morepracticall}* studied the pro- ' priety of keeping the soul in harmony, by regulating the movements of the body; for we should thus see and feel that every affection which is not connected witft social enjoyment is also destructive of individual comforts, and that whatever tends to harmonise, als j tends to promote happiness and health. Sailing CiiuftCH?The Tlianieschurch mission Society have a vessel called the Swan, the employment of which is to sail from one shipcrowded locality to another on the busy river. 1 ' ?a* e -.1 i l A?\ nns snip is a large cuiier ui cwut iw mue burthen, ami 011 her bow is inscribed the words "Thames Church" and this truly noble vessel is in truth a cruising church for sailors. The object is to supply the different section of collier ships, which are compelled to lie for may days in the Reaches, with a pastor and a place of worship. The collier crews could pot go to church, and accordingly the church has gone to the colliers. The Thames chaplain is the Rev. VV. Holdomess, and his parsonage is the cabin of the Swan. Tho Rev.

The men who have rison to distinction are not those who wailed for oportunities to learn, they seized them at all times, and grew intelligent as they grow industrious # Electro Magnetism as a Motvie Power ?The import at question settled.?Prof. Page, in ihe lectures which he is now delivering be. fore the Smithsonian Institute, states that there j is no longer any doubt of the application ofthis power as a substitute for steam. He exhibited the most imposing experiments ever witnessed in this branch nf science. An immense bar nf iron, weighing one hundred and sixty pounds, was made to spring up and down, dancing like a leather in the air, without any visible support. The force operating upon this bar be stated to average three hundred pounds through ten inch es of its motion. He said he could raise this bar one hundred feet as readily as though ten inches, and he expected no difficulty in doing the same with a bar weighing one ton or a hundred tons. He could make a pile-driver or a furgc.hamrner with great simplicity, and could make an engine with a stroke of six, twelve, twenty, thirty or .any number o( feet. The most beautiful experiment we ever witnessed was the loud sound and brilliant flash Irom the galvanic spark, when produced near a certain point in his great magnet. Each snap was as loud as a pistol, and when he produced the same spark, at a little distance from this pnint, it made no noise at all. This recent discovery he stated to have a practical hearing upon the construction nf an electro mag.ietic engine. Truly, a great power ia here, and where is the limit to it ? He then exhibited his engine, of between four and five horse power, operated by a battery contained five horse power, operated by a battery contained within a space of three cubic feet. It looked very unlike a magnetic machine. It was a reciprocating engine oft wo feet stroke, and the whole, engine and battery, weighed about one ton. When the power was thrown on by the motion of a lever, the engine started off magnificently, making one hundred and fifteen strokes per minute ; though, when it drove a circular saw ten inches in diameter, tawing up hoards an inch and a quarter thick into laths the engine made hut eighty strokes per minute. There was a great aniiety on the part of the spectators to obtain specimens ofthese laths, to preserve as trophies of this great mechanical triumph. The force operating upon his magnetic cyh inder throughout the whole motion of two feet, was stated to he 600 pounds when the engine was moving very slowly ; but he had not been able to ascertain what the force was when the ncine was running at a working speed, though o U w . it was considerably less. The most important rnd interesting point, however, is the expense ?f the power. Professor Page stated that he tad reduced the cost so far, that it was less :han steam, under ttvmgfi mi ot i,.wtaa the cheapest steam engines. With all the imperfections of the engine, the consumption of three pounds of zinc per day would produce one horse power. The larger bis engines, (contrary to what has been known before,) the greater the economy. Professor Page was himself surprised at the result. There wore yet pntctical difficulties to4?e ovnrco.ue; ihe battery had yet to be improved; and it remained yet to try the experiment on a grander scale, to make a power of 100 horse, or more Truly the age is fraught with wonders, and we can now look forward with certainty to the lime when coal will be put to better use thau to hum, scald and destroy. __ Hints to Wives.?Never complain that your husband pores too much over the papers lo the exclusion oi that pleasing converso which - ? ; 1 ?:.l rv.??. you lormeny eojoyeu ?uu mm. vmi i muc the paper;don't give it to the children to tear; don't he. sulkey, when the boy leaves it at the door, hut take it in pleasantly and lay it down before your spouse.
