Ovtlwey in1Ae Wst.-It is a common practice out west, for persons w1ose en terprire ezeeeds their means, to settle on vacant government land, and make im provements, which, according to their no tions, give them a pre-emptive right. Quite numerous communities cnn be (btadi composed of thoe who have no other title to the land they occupy than the claim to this right. Among such this claim is gen eMtly recognized, and it not onfrequently sould for a valuable consideration. It, how ever, occasionally happens. that a man wishing to buy. goes to the Indt oflice and selects one of the tracts thus itmproved. Notee is given to the ag ofuhv oThe ait, and if he it unable to pay the price, the land is sold to the stranger. Custom re juires fie shall ray the former occupant the veto of his improvements, but no!-w compels tMm to do so, and in case he dues ont, he is apt to have an uncomfortable time of it. The settlers look upon him as their enemy. and treat him accordingly. Sometimes the settlers associate together for mutual sapport, and give waruing to alt those seeking to buy their lands of the reuatmtat tbey may expect. In the Mil waikie Coulntr-efebe 22d une., ue Sod the proceedings of a meeting of this class of people. from which we copy the follow ing in reference to those who buy land "in violation of the rights of the rightful clai man's thae~bn," as they eapress it.

Novels and the light aleb wbichahiasd in modern periodicals onstitute 1he literature or i lane number who look s farther than to the gratifica iou of the inoment; and are reluctant to wbmit io the labor if thinking The er lot of such habits is to dissipate the mind, and qualify b for no higber gitt than that o which it is thus eistemne.. No Infor nation is obtained, no just sentimenis ormed, so stores of knowledge laid up ror he practical usej of life. Fiiious sym pathy may be created. unreal scenes of ire familiarized, and the mind encouraged .o entertain dreams or fancy which never an he realized. But the mental faculties re not oniy wakeided for want of strong 'r food, but essentially vitiated. Such -eading, thercrnre, cannot le too strongly :eudcmned, as both worthless and perna :Ious. Sensatioas in a Trance.-The set isatiohs >f a seemingly dead perxin. while conAn 'i in the cotlin, are mnenlionied in the fol lowiny, case of trance : A young lady, at tedant on t':e Princess --. after hay ig been confined to her bed b r a great length of time with a violent nervou5s dis irder, was. a: last, to nll appeat.dsuce.. de prived of fife. ftr lips were quite pale. her face resembled the conreinance qf a lead person, and her body grew cold. She ras removed from siue room in which she ied, was laid in a coffin, awl the day of ler funeral Axed on. The day arrived, skS according to the eiistom of the con try, iuneral songs and hymns were sung before the door. Just as the people woMe about to nail dowa the lid of thse collin, a kind of per spirfian was observed to appear on the surface of her body. Is grew greater eve ry moment, and as last a DEfd of cnnvul stve motion was observed in stai hands and feot of the corpse. A few minutes alter, during which time fresh signs of returning life. appeared. she at once opened her yes, and Asteremd a most pitiable shriek. Physicians were quickly procured, and in the course of a few days she was consider ably restored, an-I is probably alive at this day. Toe description which she gave of her situation is extremely remarkable, and forms a curious and authentic addition to psychology. She said it seemed to her that she was really dead ; yet she was perfectly con scious of all that happened around ber in tisi dreadful at ate. She distinctly beanl her friends speaking atnd lamenting her death, at the side of her codin. She (gi;them put on the dead clothes and lay her in them. This feeling produced a mental anxiety which is indescrihbhe. She tried, to cry, buther soul was without power, and could not-act in her body. She had the contradictory feeling as if she were in the body, and yet not in it as one and the same time. It was egna~ly inpos sble for her to stretch out her arms, or to open her eyes, or to cry, avhough shecon tinually endeavored to do so. Theister nal angnish ofner nmnr as, hnwever, nm its tuostheight when the funeral hymns were begn to be song. and when the lid of the coffin was about to be nailed down. Te tboaght that she was to be buried, was the ote that gave activity to her mind and caused it to operate on her corporeal frame. SAasing the Beard.-Sbaving is one of the evils: whieb cevic life has subjected maadto; and we have now become accus tomed to 4id that we regard the wearing of a long board ms a very strong evidence of a man's insanity, or at least very great eceentricity. And yet, if a new edition of the Bible were to come not with elegant engraving', representing the patriarchs zi end the prophets, and our Saviour and the Evingelists without a beard. we should all be much shockesd at the seeming sacnr lege. Every intelligent mind that reflects on the subject. must soon he cennvinced ihat the true and full dignity of the mtale rorm in :he human species. requires the presence uif the full grown beard, and no physileogist can doubt that the habitual ihaving of the beard serves im sonic mea ure to ahreviate the period of his exist ine.-Srience of Life.
