We cull a tew qneatiots and their an swers from th& Sunday Tints and Mess enger: ' Question:?What diet ia moat healthy, and what would you recommend? Answer:?A plain nnd substantial one, omitting pastry, fresh cakes, new bread, Ire. Question:?Is coffee a slow poison, ns some persons sny. Answer:-?Not unless taken immoderate ly. Moderately imbibed it ia' a gentle stimulant and retards the destruction of the tissue?. With coffee, less solid food can be eaten. and' the usual health nr.d strength maintained. Question:?Does vinegar make h person thin, and is it uuhcnlthy? Answer:?The excessive use of vinegar will produce a variety of maladies, and of course leanness is an inevitable result of couHrmcd disease. Question:?Do you consider violin pl?y ingatt accomplishment? Lord Chesterfield, I believe, said not -rlnwrerj?It is nu accomplishment, of course, if the nrt be acquired in ft masterly manner. Ordinary violin playing is vulgar and little better than a nuisance. Lord Chesterfield i>? about as good authority in social matters, now, as Aristotle \s In philosophy. The principles of both are -behind the age." . . >VJwt effect,.if any, upon the system does a frecu** of lemous en use??. A son of miue is iniicfi addicted to'lhe eat ing of the same, and I fear lu effects upon : his health. Answer:?An over-use of acids of any kind is ns deleterious to the health as nu over-use of sweets] either tend to destroy the digestion. ' Question:?Whnt Ts your opinion of board ing schools for children? j4n*icrr.??As a general.thing, wo hare a^ poor opinion of,them.... Under the parents* eye, and;in tha associations of a:virtuous home, the child most truly developer both moralv and physically. Divorced from the hnppy and sacred influences of home, the worser Instincts of a child's nature are too apt to find free way,, and the Jftfflccn tions which should, and, supported )>y home influences, do control and repress them to become duU and cxert.no active. | ngency inthe early formation ofthcirchar aciir. Que*lion:?To whom is due the credit of! having first applied: steam power success- : fully to the propelling of vessels.? .1 awcer.*?The credit of priority in this i great work is now conceded to .Tatues I Watt. Robert Fulton, however, undoubt edly mndu the first practically successful application of steam power to the propul- I sion of vessels available for travel and 1 traflic. Question:?If two persons are married at j the age* of sixteen without the kuowledgc of their parents, can said parents separate.! them against their will, and if so, have! | they ony claim on 'each other? Antucer:?Marriage is civil contract by j i our lnw, and to make ?ny legal contract j | the. parties mnst be of full age. By the ; Statute females are not of age until their | eighteenth .year, nor men till their twenty- ! | first. Prior to those periods a parent owns 1 j the time of a child, and has an absoluto j right to dispose of it, as to him shall seem i ; fit. provided he requites nothing of the j child contrary to law or good morals; con seqneiitly parents causepanite minors who ; j have gone through the form of marriage, j Although, however, parents have a proper ty in their children until the attainment by them of their majority, the law, in the in terest of morality, bold* a marriage com pleted by minors to be valid and binding. Question:?Is there any good book pub lished which I could gain a knowledge of mercantile transac'tious? If so, iuform me the name Anstcir:?None that we know of, and if there were it would be practically useless Mercantile affairs must be learned by exT perience, and are best learned by begin ning as a shop-boy, and by diligence, hon esty. sobriety, and an intelligent use of circumstances and opportunity working up to the top of the ladder, and "bead of the firm." Question:?-Does starch whiten the skin, and is it injuriotis.to health ? Arutcer:?It temporarily whitens it, but many of the costuftics'arc ultimately in jurious because they fill up the pores of the skin and embarass the action of inten sive perspiration whieb keeps the skin soft aud healthy. A strange specimen of-the kirt<I,: known as the "Sea Horse," was canght in the Rappannnnock river, Va., a few weeks 'since. The creature is about five inches in lengthy has the b6dy.and,tail of a water dragon, and the well-formed neck'and head of a horse. Pins are in tbo place of ears upon the head, also along the . hack, and underneath :be t>elly... It is said to be the 'first of its kind ever caught in the waters of Virginia. U was.kppt.aUfe fpr three weeks, during whTeh tifflef'-ifr- showed a ficrce disposition, raising itself when an- , gered, and making a shorL shorting noise, somewhat similar to a horse. It has been placed in the Smithsonian Institute, at Wellington. for exlfibhion. :??7~r. Two young men undertook ttvsee which possessed the greatest internal capacity, and to test the matter agreed to eat raw clams, each to-eat until he could hold no more.

Carl Schurz never had any Red Rcpiih licau tendencies at all. But if you call the earnest desire of * free and indepen dent mind to see the liberty of the Press, the freedom, of discussion, the right of every mau t.o nn impartial trial by jury, which, just now, are of no account in your Southern region, if you call any such'dc sires.andanyactions tending to the carrying out r.pi' the same, lied Republicanism, w by1 suppose, Carl-Shurz "was VRed-Re publican just us much as a certain squire of the name of George Washington, whom you surely remember although his teach ings and vital principles you uow fatally ignore nnd uracticallv despise i But, if you mean tljfak Ca^l S?nrz was of | | the Ultra-Socfttlrlf^ Communistic Repnbli- | | can strip*;, youftipjS that you don't know j |anything -nbout liim, And, arc merely a | blind partisan who. neither wishes to seek | i truth/iior, if broVghi beforo bis eyes, ac ! knowledges it. ' ! n Carl Shurz, while in Germany, and CarJ ! Snurz, while advocating Republican princi I pies here, sought""nor more nor less than : [ Washington-, Jefferson. Madison, and a host < of others, sought in this country eighty j years ago. Ehmest. Tiifc following beautiful descriptive pas- I , sage, occurs in a lecture recently deliv^ed by Mr. Dix, in New York, on the Andes Mountains, in South America : You'now beffin to ascend ttio mountains, ! whicli^Kmer, apps rtyitly < i n accessble 'ftbaye; | yoii. The mules tretnb!e as they strive to j keep their hold Oi^tbe'steepj tlropery soil. When you thus reach the Heart of the mountainous region, a wide "diversity of ! views expands before you. -There are; broad, green spaces where hrooks glide on as smoothly a*'in meadow# ; there are rushing torrents and roariug cascades.? On one side may be a green bill on which' flocks are grazing; on another you look ! down into dark, cavernous recesses. You | reach the summit of a monutain by narrow | path?, which frequently shut out the pros pect until you have/ gained 'til# very top, wtxen:you look down upon aspleudid nn?l immense extent- of fertile table land far below yon. You slowly descend, cross the table land, and ascend the mountains be yond. The scenery becomes wilier and mote Impressive,and vjiid contrasts strike - the observer at every turn. Ypu mHy^see Vicar you one mountain almost perfect in proportion; green:to the verv.fcaibifcltg'the keu, that it *eeins like the verfGlaht Pes-/ pair of mountains. Again you rfcacb green level spaces, covered with countless flowers;?for- at this elevation, the.floral wealth of lbe temperate iton? Fp embosom ed in the torrid xone itself. There also you < see humming birds,cnmsoned.'purple, gol- * den, green, glancipg about like prismatic rays* embodied in visible forms. Looking up, yon see the ^reaf tJbndor Wheeling io, fligbt from peak to peak. Suchartthe con trast* pfJthe AqdAS,44umralng-ibir^s ab(L condors; . hill-styes covered . Jfitji; sheep. J-ocky ridges, inaccessible to* map or beast;. brooks and torrents; tfje beauty of Eden, | the craggy.desolation of chaos. Here, the mountains subside into soft andujations, there the'ridges mw.colpssal and perpeu-. die alar, and along their edges raoS a line ? of snow,, like buraljibfil silver." Yon ; rpach drtngeroW :ra|fKia, aii4^*skiU. jour j eyes ^sryaaoerose tfceea, ufessing entirely ^ \ to tUe sure feeLof.the male. You arejnow i above all signs ot tropical vegetation. A lofty peak, rises directly above you. Bleary dazzling*now .covers it. As you lnoani, it gro.ws colder and colder.' Here, on the equator it tell', meu may freeze to death.-* Now it is too steep even for the mules of tbe.Ande*. Dismount, and.climb ns you can. The wind blows almost like a hnrri cane. You pant as .if you: could not breathe again. Tonch nt Inst the pore, bright, equatorial snow. Would you reach the very summit, which shines fur, far above you. in pure white? Yon cannot. The mouuUiu-top *is sacred frdm mortal touch. War's gorv feet never climbed so far. Angels of peace guard the top of the Andes. ? There is truce to all the rage of earth. During the middle ages an interval in every week was sacred from the assaults of foes. It was calltd the Truce of God. Xot for-lltree days in the week, but for countless ages, on these snowy summits of tho. Andes, far above a world all drenched in woe and guilt* shines, in pure white,' the holy triice of God.

Willis, in bis Inst letter to the 'Home Journal, says the machine 4,to insert a pig .at one,end and grind out sausnges at the other," is really "slow" in comparison with the new invention for settiyg types? a visit to which was the object of one of his recent walks in New York; "Alden's type-setter not only can set types as Hist as eight men. brit distributes, or restores to their places," the same amount by the same process?an auto recuperation of outlay, which it is won drous to believe (tor an editor, nt least) may be a posstble^principle in Nature! "The type-setter is worked like a piano, by playing on keys?the mere touch on the key, for the letter a. for instance, be ing instead of the old fashion pf taking up that letter with the fingers, turning it right end up and right side front, and puiiiujt it into the Hue, to be adjusted with spaces. It Is a revolving table of brass?the ma chine?worked by the smallest steam power, and the cost is about fifteen hun dred dollars. It would 'clear itself,' of course, by the saving of labor, (to aayj nothing of the acceleiution of work to ! which speed is so necessary,) iu a very ; short time. Without going into a pnrtic ? ular description of the machinery, I may say, as one who has been a well-taughtj type setter himself, tbat it seemed to me j as the locomotive seems to the stage driver i or ns the steumboat 'to the 'paddler.of the j canoe?au impossible deaidcralum brought I miraculously to pass. "Perhaps the'most curiously ingenious part of. the invention is that which gives the compositor a chauce to scratch his head or indulge in a rover* , speak to his friend or. light bis .cigar, ^mend the gram mar or criticise the 'copy'?obviating, that is to say, the necessity of rigidly keeping up with the unvarying steam proposition of ?hc machine. This is done by u regis ter wheel, which makes signals for the lelr ters before they are.takcn, and winch ;vfUl | nllo\v as many ns sixty to accumulate be i fore thej* are disposed of, with no hind rance to the action of the machinery,? j > Gun Id anything be moraine a-brain turned into brass? "The inventor of this wonderful 'nflair,j Timothy Alden, was a practical printer; and to it devoted twenty years, dying, when he had nt last perfected it?his brain and nerves giving way to the'disease of over-concentration of thought and will.? How many men are victims, in these 'fast day*,' to this kind'tof overtasking! Yet Afden lived enough of a life, if measured by benefit to bis race. What were the eventles* centuries of Methuselah, (as a good to the world,) in comparison with the twenty year invention of the Massachusetts tvpe-setter?" I What It Costs to be Bighty-nlne Years Old. A correspondent of one of the western papers, who has read Grant ThOrburn's latest account of himself, wherein that active octogenarian expresses his delight at living to the age of eighty nine years, and enlarges npon the comfort he derives from the ?'sawing of stove wood," remon strates against such hilarious manifesta tions. He says: "In the first place, it is extremely ques tionable whether it is a good thing to be l eighty-nine years of nge under the most favorable circumstances. At that period of life yon have out lived all the friends of your youth and manhood, and ure solitary ? nvon amnnf? ...V. ? ?? ** ..... ..uuHg iuuoc nuu Miuvr yon perfectly I well. You belong to the past and have I nothing to do with the present. It is very J probable that you make yourself disagree able by declaring to the rising generations j n round you the excellence of the good old times. You aro garrulous and obstinate, and your opinions are tolerated rather than j respected. i "Mr. Thorburn says bis senses fail?j otherwise he is in good health, a*d mwi 1 stove-wood as comfortably as twenty -years i ago. It may be happiness to sin' stove- ! wood at eighty-nine; but we cannot with ' our present feelings regard it in that light, ! and if this is held out as an incentive to j long life, we think one would be willing to go a trifle earlier. uItissmall inducement to become eighty nine years old, to learn that Mr. Thorbnm has not had the rheumatism, the headache, ; or tbe toothache, when we learn also that j an octogenarian has "till twinges of tlint heart disease which afflicts the young. To lose the senses?not to see, bear or feel very heavenly', is bad?but not to have ou*lived the twinges alluded io, may welt make one pauso and think twice before be lives to be eighty-nine."
