Natural Resources of Egypt. Egypt has but a siuglo natural ro Bource-the Nile. There is no other river in the country; nor bas this ono a brauch or affluent between its mouth and tho Nubian desert. Besides tho almost shelterless date-palms, there aie no palms, the few wooded parks planted by order of Mehemet Ali, the ornamental trees of the cition, of which Caito and its Bubnrbs contain forty thousand, and the mulberry trees raised for silk-worms, scarcely deserving to bo mentioned in this connection. There is little or no rain, the agrioulturo of the country depending nlmost entirely upon tho ir rigating canals connected with the Nile. Egypt proper consists of Lower, Mid dle, and Upper Egypt. It contains ; 160,866,500 acres of area, and a popula- , tion, in 1871, of 5,203,405. The arable ( aroa of Egypt is confined substantially j to tho inundublo portion of tho Valley , of tho Nile As tho rivor closely hug? j tho hills and palisades on its^ right j bank, this area is noarly altogether on tho loft. In some plaoos the arabio lands aro cloven miles wido ; in others thoy dwindle to a mero Btrip of bank. For tho most part, howovor, this area ox tends westward from tho river about tivo to eight miles, whero it is termin ated by tho Libyan hills and doeort. Every year it ia oxtended by the riso of tho river upon its own bcd. This rise was found to be, at thc close of tho lnM, century, ^,960 inches per century. If tho ostimates worked by the kh?dive and his relatives, or tho nobles of his court, be deducted, there will not re main in Egypt over one-half an acre ot arable land to each person ; and even if the land nultivated at present were divided equally among all, there would still bo not over nine-tentliB of an aero per capita. Imagine how Bmall must be the portion of an Egyptian laborer who, if all the food products of that land were kept at home instead of be iog shipped abroad, as a large pur tion of them aro, wonld still possess but one-seventh tho heritage of an American or Englishman, and but one-fourth that of a Frenchman ! An Apparent Resurrection. Tho following is related by tho Augusta (Maine) Journal : " A young man in the town of Vas salboro, in this county, waB Buffering in the last Btages of consumption, tho disease which had insidiously and stealthily brought him to the verge of the grave. For Beveral weeks he had been entirely prostrate and unable to speak, even to articulate a syllable. He became so oppressed for breath that he compelled his attendants to raise the windows in his room, put out the fires, and resort to every means to obtain.fresh air. On the 13th inst, the young man died. Friendly hands pre pared tho poor, emaciated hody for the burial; but, jnst as tho attending friends were arranging the remains for the casket, there appeared unmistaka ble evidences of returning life in what had seemed to them an inanimate mass of olaj, and it was discovered that tho heart bad begun again-.ita. clow and measured palpitations, tho pulso lb rob bed, and the young man arose from "fltedea^rl^shrouds, opened his' month, and spoke in "clear and distinct words to those who: stood sppallod in the death chamber. Th* re was no huskiness in his voice, he appeared lively and active, said he >elt noe the slightest pain, but, to HBO his own language, " I feel just as well OP I over did." At his request the neighbors were all called in, who crowd ed the houso for hours, declaring that the recovery of the man waa equal to any miracle recorded in, the Scriptures. He told this startled assemblage of his friends and neighbors that, us he diod, all things seemed dark, but only for an instant ; his eyes snddenly opened to a now world, the real heaven, which had 1 been so many times in his thoughts and j had given him so muon comfort in bis , Inst week of pain and sorrow. He stood 1 upon an eminenco whioh overlooked a 1 vast aid beautiful plain ; the mngniQ- ' cont plain stretcho l farther than his enlarg? d vision could penetrate, and ? he described .it in language whiob, tc bis moral auditors seemed extravagant in the extreme. Bnt tho revivified life of tho yonng man was not to continue long. Before night ho again resigned himself to dei tb. Tho boev WAH kept a reasonable longth of timo and buried on Sunday last, tho funeral being large ly attonded." Pure Expression. ':? Every word that falls from tho lips of mothers and sisters o^pocially should be puro and concise and simple ; not poaris sn eh as fall from the lips of a princess, but sweet, good words, that little cbildron oan gather without fear of Boil, or any regret to pain through all thoir lifo. Children should bo tnught the frequent use of good, strong expres sive words--words that moan exactly what they should exnress in their proper places. If a child, or young person, bas a looso flung-togethor way of stringing words whon endeavoring to say something, ho should bo mado to " tty again" and soo if ho cannot do bettor. It is paiuf ni to hear many girls' talk. Tory begin with " My gracious!" and interlard it with "So sweet I" and " So queenly !' and so many phrases, that one is temp od to believe they have no training at all, or else their mothers are very, very foolish women. There is nothing more disgusting than the twoddle-of ill-bred girls; one is pro voked often into taking a paper and reading, and Jetting thom ripple and gurgle on, like brooks that flow they know not whither. My heart warms with love for sensible gills and pure boys, and, after all, if onr girls and boys ai e not this, I fear it is not our own fault-for this great trust rests in the heart and hands of the wemen of our land. If wo have a noble, useful purpose in life, wo shall infuse the right spirit into those around us. TflK art of voicing reeds, the most difficult and important in the manu facture of cabinet or parlor organ:, was invented by Mr. Enmone Ham lin, of the Mason & Hamlin Organ Co., iu 1849. Io ha? been universally adopted by American and largely by Earcpean makers, but none have at tained that high standard of excel lence in it whioh is reached in the Masw & Hamlin Cabinet Organs. ThiCT''; fact ii universally recognized by musicians. * CURIOUS AND SCIENTIFIC. BUDS do cn' form wholly from bark, nor lrom any special^ part of a plant, though, of conree, in a general way considerable regularity in fixed places. They come ont any where along a willow 6tem : and, although they appear in the apple from the axil of a leaf, they, are formed any-where along the surface of a root of an apple when ihey are propagated from the roots, 88 by nur serymen they often are. Again, in the horso-ohestnut a growth never appears except from an auxiliary or a terminal bend in ordinary cases; bnt if a branch bo cut off between the nodes no im mense number of young buds will ap pear from tho new cells which form the new layer of wood on tho exposed sur race. Some curious oases aro also re- : sorded by Dr. Masters, whero bads aro formed in tho pith of a potato.' In ;omo instances soveral small potatoes liave been found inside largo ones, from buds which have developod thore. EVERY action and emotion depletes tho physical system. Milk, tho first food absorbed by mon and animals, is tho only natnr?l mixture, containing all the elements of blood eave tho coloring. "Water constitutes three fonrths of tho body. To . work well, either physically or mentally, we must bo fed judiciously and thoroughly. Tho worker munt eat mixed-food. Food properly administered stimulates the systom as wine doon, only more natu rally. Tho long night hours empty tho stomach, deplete tho system, and chill tho body. On arising tho physical condition is low, and should be re cruited. If we IOBG time at carly morning in bringing the body up to its natural heat and ttrength, wo cannot regaia it during tho day. A healthy mai\ requires about ono pouud of nu triment per day to keBp him in good condition. "While a workingman would need daily fivo pounds of solid mixed food, two and a half would be enough for personB who lounge and sleep much. Icc In the Arctic Regions. The preciso object of tho Austrian Polar expedition was not particularly ihat of reaching high latitudes, but of exploring the large unknown Bea north of Siberia. For a year and a half the explorers had constant opportunities closely to observe the behavior and formation of the packed ice. The phe nomenon is instructive, as it is the same in the whole of the Arotio regions. With the exception of land-ice, which clings to the coasts and never reaches far out into the sea, all ice-icebergs as well as holds-is in constant motion, winter and summer; and this, as haB been shown, is through the influence of winds. The motion, however, is a different one almost with every field, and thus a certain pressure results wherever two fields touch; this natural ly lends to the breaking np of the fields, and the contraction of the ice, during sudden low temperature plays its part ia a similar way. If one c n?idera the great extent of fields, sometimes of many miles, and their enormous masses, one can easily imagine the colossal forces whioh are so'ive in these phe nomena, and the greatness of their ef foots. When two fields meet, a combat body to body ensueB, often lasting only a few mi ii ut OH, but sometimes even for days and weeks. Tho edges are then turned up on both sides, upwards and downwaids, an irregular wall of ice con sisting of wildly mixed blocks begins to build itself, the pressure increasi B more and more, masses of ice eight feet long and broad are lifted thirty to forty feet high, and then fall to make room for others. At last one of the fields begins to shift itself for some distance underneath the other one ; often they Beparate for a while, only to renew the straggle. But tho end of it always is that the intense cold unite's them all into one solid mr.su ; a singlo field re mits from tho two, and tho next storm ar quick chango of temperature cracks the new. field in some other direction, tho pieces renewing the old struggle. ThiB is tho erigin of tbo ice-fields, whioh are quito irregular above and below, sometimes only consisting of blocks that have frozen together, and tilling up the whole arctic region as eo : idled pack ice. Oon TEIJIJ-TAIJB LITS.-I have ob served that lips booome moro or less contracted in the course of years, in proportion as thoy are accustomed to express good humor and generosity, or peevishness and a contracted mind. Remark tho effect whioh a moment of ill-temper or grudgingness has upon the lips, and judge what may bo ex pected for an habitual series of such movements. Remark the reverse and make a similar judgment. The month is tho frankest part of the face; it can't in the leaf t conceal its sensations. We jan neither hide ill-temper with it, nor rood ; wo may affect what wo please, mt affectation will not help us. In a vrong causo it will only make our ob lervora resent the endeavor to impose tpon them. Tho month is tho seat of me ol ass of emotions, an the eyes are if another ; or, rather it expresses the ame emotions, bnt in greater detail, nd with a more irrepressible tendency o be in motion. It ir? thu region of miles and dimples, and of a trembling ocdernesB ; a sharp sorrow, or a full wreathing joy ; of candor, of reserve, f anxious care, or liberal sympathy. ?he month, out of its many sensibil ties, may be fancied throwing up one reat expression into the eye-ns many ightB in a city refleot a broad lustre ato tho heavens.-Leigh Hunt. MODEBN MEDIOAI. DIBCOVBBY.-It is humed that disease, with a few ex eptions, has been conquered by the CBearoh and intellect of enlightened nen; and yet a noted professor of New ?fork admits that "of all soiences, med cine is the most uncertain," and that 1 thousands are annually slaughtered n the sick room." Certain "schooJr" >f medicine are in existence, one of vlnch "makes the patient ill," in cr ier to claim a cure; and another ad ministers "sugar-coated bread pills," dying upon nature to effect her own ur es. Dr. J. Walker, of California, n old and respeoted pnysiotan, tried icth modes of treatment and both ailed, fie then appealed to nature's unitive -herbs; and now enjoys rug fed health. He bas given the benefit: if his discovery to the world, in the shape of Vinegar Bitters, and 6ince its introduction has sold a quantity almost large enough to make a small harbor, or to float the "Great Eas torn." Its curative properties are at tested by grateful thousands. The .? Housekeeper ?? ot our Health. Tho liver ia tho groat depurating or blood cleansing organ of tho system.
