.4 ' 4 A , s ho a a me ut d -the war t h h oand of Napoleons a y ew-American officers partici- t a as te*ny battles ag Worth, ti SNiporhaps,insuch brilliant and ma ereus otories. Prominently distin guioheil in the wa- of 1812, thenin that Florida, then under Taylor at Mon 0 l Sand finally in the campaign pgamsatthe obty of Mexico, he ran a ca Ver alike fortunate and brilliant, and r! one in which glory and promotion fol- 11 lo*d hand in, hand. But alas just v hi'en the ar is'over, and the time has t come for him to repose on, his laurels, p he is cut off by an ignoble disease, in a b altiy frontier town. Such is human lifee _. Such is human life. Such is the end of earthly glory. Worth claims descent from one of the a earliest Puritan settlers. le was born In 1794, received a plain but substan- a ti1 education, and began life as a trad- h er's clerk in Hudson, New York. When h the war of 1812 broke out he entered the army as a private, but did not re- 6 main long in the ranks. A fellow e clerk, who had enlisted with him, hav ing been placed under arrest for some indiscretion, applied to Worth for ad vise, who undertook to write a petition for the delinquent, to the Colonel of the regiment. This officer happened Io be c Scott. Struck by the style and pen- u manship o~f the petition, he inquired the r name of the writer, and in the inter view that followed, wzs so pleased with I Worth's manners, and soldierly and 8 handsome person, that he appointed him his private secretary. Scott did not stop here. He procured for Worth a a commission as Lieutenant in the twenty third regiment; and the merits of the young subaltern, joined to some a good fortune, did the rest for his ad- c vancement. Worth rose rapidly, in- i .deed, during the war of 1812. At c Chippewa he disiinguished himself so c highly that he was breveted a Captain; at Lindy's Lane he won the rank of Major, and if peace had not .been de clared immediately afterward, he would doubtless have advanced still further. After the peace Worth was, for some time, superintendent of the West Point 1 -Military Academy. In 1821, after i the retirement of General Armistead, Worth succeeded to the chief command in Florida,* where he had been serving, as second: in rank, for about a year. Ambitious of distinction, he sought eve .ry opportunity to bring the Indians to action, and though often disappointed, finally succeeded. In recompense for .his gallantry on this occasion, Worth i was brevetted a brigadier general. I When a war with Mexico became I probable, he wvas detached to Corpus * Christi, to join Gen. Taylor: and re mained with the general until just be fore the battles of Palo Alto and Resan * -ca do la Palma. The cause of his leaving camp, as is well known, was a difference between him and Twigga, growing out of his brevet rank. He I hastened to Washington, intending to resign; but the war altered his decision, and cancelling his resignation, he hurri-t ed back to the army. Taylor, sympathizing with the feel mngs of Worth, who could not forgive himself for having missed the battles of the 8th and 9th of 'May, assigned to1 luhm, at Monterey, the task of carrying the heights of Saltillo road, with one division of the army, while, with the other, the comnmandier in chief advanced against the town1 from the Serralvo road. .This was, in fact, giving Worth an inde pendent command--for, after once sep-. arating, it was found impossible to keep up the com'nunications between the two dimsions of' the arm~y. - Worth-carried, in succession, the Va-1 rious forts commanding the Saltillo road --stormed the .Bishop's palace which overlooked the town---and pushing for ward through the s'iburbs, entered 'the streets, throwing shot and shiells and a carrying terror and dismay before him. *He was within a short distance of the n groat square when the town capitulated h to Taylor, penetrating to the plaza frorn the other side. For his exploits ata * Monterey Worth was breveted a Major ~ General. in His next great excploit was at Molinoe b del Rey, whore he carried the almost Impregnable works of the enemy, after a tremendous struggle, in which more 'lives were* lost, in proportion to the .Ambers engaged, than in any action ofr the war. t .Worth also fought with distinction at a! Cerro Gordo, at, Churubusco, and at the storming of the gates of Mexico. *He was, perhaps, after Taylor and n Scott, the most efficient--certainly the g most popular of the Generals in the w .war with Mexico. b . The, character of Worth may beiu sketch'ed in few words. He was brave ed sto a fault, sufficiently good as a tactici- th an,'chivalrous, of popular manners, of th, amposiieg presence, haughty, at timnes an W ad'' quire liad~hod iu'er at dismounte rn his hie s plumed hat on the point of hissword, d wavng it highoverhead led them istorm the Bisho' Castle. Siich les recall the P ds of old romaice SUGGESTIONS 1ON EAI Children should be taught touse the ft hand as well and as mtioh as the ght. In fants should be sponged writh cold ater every day. Infants should be car ed into Ve air every dyeof; th0 geason. funts shoulbe nprsed at regular inter. 0s,,once n about hree, hours. From etime they are weaned 66ril they have mssed the first dentition, children should n fed on bread and milk. Coarse bread Is better for children than ne. Children should sleep in separate bedi, nd, where it is practicable, in: -separate )nms. and should not wear night.caps. . Children under seven years of -age Iould not be confined over six or seven nurs in the house, and that time should e broken by frequent recesses. From the time of the first to that of the icond dentitioh, children should be denl. d animal food. Children and young people must be iade to hold their heads up and shoulders ack, while sianding, sitting. and walk. ig. The best beds for children are of air, or in winter, of hair and cotton. - At proper times, and in proper places, hildren should be indulged in the free se of their limbs and lungs. A play som is a useful appendage to a house. . After the second dentition is passed, oung people may cat all kinds of whole. )me food. Young people should drink nly water. One pint of liquid to a per an a day, is sufficient for health; and iat should neither be hot nor very cold, nd should be taken at some interval after at ing. From one to one pound and a half of Dlid food, is sufficient for a person in the rdinary vocations of business. Persons a the sedentary employments should drop no.third of their food, and they will es. p dyspepsia. Young persons should walk at least wo hours a day, In the open air. Young ladies should be prevented from andaging the chest. Tie author has :nown three cases of insanity, terminating n death, which began in this practice. Every person, great and small, should rash all over in cold water every morn ng. *Reading aloud is conducive to health. The more clothing we wear, other hings being equal, the less food we need. Sleeping rooms should be furnished vith a fire-place, or some other mode of ,entilating besides the windows. The proper temperature of sleeping looms is from 55 to 00 degrees Farenheit. The temperature of a room warmed by n1 open fire place is sufficiently high for calthand comfort at 70 degrees Fah.; nut in a room wvarmed by an air-tighit tove, it needs to be at 75 degrees. A ir. ight stoves are not good for health unless he room is plentifully supplied by cracks ad crevices. Young people and others cannot read .nd study much by lamp-lighnt with impu 'ity. T'he best remedy for eye.s weakened y night use, is a fine stream of cold wva. Dr frequently applied to them. When eyes fuai biy age, the aid ofspcc. idles should be called in, instead of being eferred as long as possible.-Dr. War. en's Tract on Health. To REMOVE STUEtPs.-.-Procure a ry red elm lever, about twenty feet ng and about six to eight inches in Liameter; also, a good stout log chain, nith two yokes of oxen; this is all the iachinery necessary, except a good ox river. The mode of operation is thus: rrap the chain around the stump a lit le above thie ground, and make a log ich; lay the lever horizontally on the round, the large end next to the chain ad against the stump, make the loose nid of the chain fast to tbis end of the iver, drawing it tight against the stump ie cattle are hitched to the small end f the .lover, and driven around the bump in a circle, of which the lever is ie radius. One revolution of the oxen ound the stump will generally twist it ut of the ground, or loosen it so that it nay be hauled out by the oxen wheni itched to the log-chain around the amp. But should not the power of us machine be sufficient to move the ump, the side roots may be uncovered id cut partly off, and the stump will then more easily removed. By pursuing this plan in the spring the year, when the ground is loose d mellow, the stumps are more easily moved; and by perserving in this me od two or three years, your fields will Scleared of these obstructions to neat 4d economical farming. DRLL HIU5BDRIY.-It is a fact t generally alluded to, says a -distin ished English cultivator, that a field th a southern aspect, if rich, should drilled north and south; but if DRY, d in want of shade, it should be drill east and west.

John Bull knows how to hit thme right nail on the head, and howv many blows re. quired to drive it home, and at the moment it is required. For years Great Britain refused to alter her navigation laws, so as to admit other flags into her ports on equal looting with her owvn. At length < the reform is made and by our treaty the British flag in our ports has equal rights I -what will be the effect of this move. ment? Simply, that British bottoms will carry a considerable part of American trade, in consequence of their being able to sail their vessels much cheaper than weo can-labor being cheaper, seamlan's wa. go. cheaper, and, as the Navigation lawsa apply to all countries hav'ng treaties with b England the commerco of Great Britain, by this reform, will be considerably bene. fitted.
