The learned Professor then adds that years after ward, when ho could have repaid the amount, he wrote to Humboldt, asking for " the privilege of remaining foreYer in his debt, knowing that the request would be more consonant to liia feelings thun the recovery of the money," and he adds, " I am now iu his debt" Cicero, in his " I>e Officii*,propound* some remarkable moral problems, such as is a man justified in raising piiees for corn upon a starving people and the like, but we do not think he considered Ono qnile so nice as this suggested by vac pooiry of Professor Agassis'* spirit. As Halt) n Humboldt distinctly made it a loan, it oocurs to u? that to have met the cane in a practical, financial spirit would have been the truer course. It is quite possible that Baron Humboldt might have designed, in case the amount should bo returned, to appropriate it to the uao of some other poor straggler in the realm of science?but the destiny of its office, so far as the real owner was concerned, was lost by the caprice of the Professor. Fact* about I.unrr.siYO. -Mr. Meriam, the "sage of Brooklyn "Heights," in a recent letter, says 1 "A few days since, a stranger accosted me in the street aud inquired if iron bedsteads were dangerous to sjeep upon during thunder storms. I said in reply, that 1 had never kno^A) a dentil by lightning on a bed resting on an iron bedstead, bnt we have recorded deaths hy lightning of persons reposing on feather beds on wooden bedsteads. " No case of denth has vel occurred to a tele graph operator- to persons on hoard of steamboat* or in railroad cars, or in iron vessels or iron building', or in vessels furnished with lightning conductors, and but four dentins in buildings furnished with lightning rods. Two persons have been killed by lightning while standing on the outside platform of railroad cars. "Many persons suffer greatly from fear daring thnnder storms, and that fear has, in two cases which have come to our knowledge, produced death. It Ivill bo a comfort to such to know the safety which railroad car*, steamboats, Iron vosacia, and vessels and buildings furnished with rods, afford during thnnder s'torrsi. Persons atruck down by lightning should he tlior ongitiy arencned With cold water.

Tho horses arc excellent, well* bread, hardy, active and courageous, The men are bold rid are good swordsiuen, and, better at ill, are the right weight, and are recruited in great part from two of the greatest equestrian nations in the World, the Poles and Hungarians. In her service the moustroiity ew often witncaaed in France, of a giant of two hundred pounds weight, laden with arms and aocoutretnents, astride of beast not much bigger than himself, is never wit ueeeed In short, the Auetriap uhlan or husaar is the model light-cavalry man of the world: small, light, wiry, active, Indefatigable, a rid or front his cradle, his bridle in his heels, and his hand, eye and heart on biseahre; indefatigable in the march, swift in the charge, everywhere bv tarns and nimli^ru !<>?< '? ?>? * # ??? v m v imhj W n i IIIU*I< wild that the Hungarian hussar, now tliat the Turkish spnhi ia a thing of the past, is the on)/ light cavalry, in fact the only cavalry in existence. Ilis cuts arc as fatal and sure as other men's thrusts. His horse is part of himself; riding or fighting are Ids pastime. In former days ho was the glory uud hoast of the Austrian nrmv. Those guy swarms of hardy little men winch it shot from its sides on the march were its surest aids in victory, its best safeguards in defeat. [AT T. Pot. Leaving Home.?I can conceive of no picture more interesting than ouo which might be drawn from a young man leaving the home of his childhood, the scene of all his early associations, to try his fortune in a distant country, setting opt alone for the " forest," A father on the decline, the down hill of life, gives his parting blessing, t ivoking the best gifts of heaven to rest on his beloved offspring, and to crown all his efforts with complete success. T' arsgusli from hie eyes, and the words are forbid utterance. A kind, affectionate mother is calling after him ss he is departing from the paternal abode, and with all the dangers to which lie Is shout to be exposed rushing into, and pressing upon her mind, she snys: " Uo, n?y son?-remember that there is a right and a wrong way." Her advice is brief. Language is inadequate to the expression of the feelings that there crowd on the uiind of the virtuous child. Kvery render has a case of tills kind, and tuay have been the subject of one ill saute respects similar. Here may be found eloqucuoe more touching to him to whom it is delivered, than the orations of Ciocro or Demosthenes. A woman's tears are her weakness and hsr strength. By thctn she persuades, rules and conquers. If they flow in copious showers when man would blush to own a moistening of the eye, they lutvo a power to control his actions in his sternest moments. There is in them a magic charm, which bends before it the strongest will more pliantly than the ozier sways to the blast. No trivial orridicnlous things are woman's tears. They have controlled the destinies of empires, and brought about results which nteel elad armies and thnndcring cannons were powerless to aecomplish. They have played no unimportant part in the world's history. Would thst we could say that they bad always flowed from a pure fountain, and that their intluenoe had been for the cause of racrcy, humanity and truth.?. But, alasl quite as much at the command of the base as of the good, they have too often plead lor tyranny and urged on to persecution. [Cru?ader. llow to m*ke Tea Properly.?Tlie proper way to make a cup of good tea ia a matter of oine importance, lite plan which I have practised for these twelve month* iathis: The tea pot ia at once filled Hp with boiling water; then the tea is put into the pot, and is allowed to btaud for five minutes before It U used. The leaves gradually absorb the water, and as gradually sink to the bottom *. the result is, that the tea leaves are not scalded, as they are when boiling water is poured over them, and you get all the Ifue flavor of the tea. In truth, much let* tea is required in this wny than under the old and common practice.?Ja*. Cuthel. . . ?? ?
