Dr. Johnson, passing away amid a tumult of uneasiness and fear, said to one who stood close beside his bed "God bless you, my dear " The celebrated Dr. Adams, rector of the High School of Edinburgh, in some moments of delirium preceding his d ath, whispered,- "It is growing dark, boys " stretchinc forth hia hand, " you may go I" Queen Elizabeth of England, dying on her royal couch, was heard to moan°out the heartrending words as she closed her eyes forevei, "All my possessions for one moment of time " But the noble Wesley simply ex- claimed, in calmness of spirit " The best of all is, God is with us." Poor Robert Bums, out of hrs head when he drew his last breath, cried "Oh, don't let the awk- ward squad fire over me " How curious, indeed, that.

It was a Christian philosopher like John Locke who exclaimed with his latest breath that solemn day.

The ruliijg passion may be said to have been still strong with Chesterfield when he passed away, for the last words he uttered were, " Give DaytoUes a chair " Did poor Cowper say anything before he died â€" he who had always dreaded even the thought of dying Wny, ^tii^d he sank to rest as peacefully as a littlchild.

Darwin sb*wr that thb oawmrdprofir^i the derelopment, or what may be described as the collective prosperity of the species, is brought about by over-nw^tipUoation, fol lowed by |b neoessary straggle for existiencie, in the course of which the iniefior or uueoit- able individuals are wee^ed out, and "the survival Q^ the fittest " necessarily follows these superior or more suitable specimens transmit more or Ie«8 of their advantages to their offspring, which, still multiplying ex- cessively, are again and again sinnlarly sift- ed and improv^ or developed in a bound- less course of forward evolntioo. In the earlier stages oi haraan existence, the fittest for survival were those whose brutal or physical energies best enabled them to struggle with the physical difficul- ties of their surrouiidings, .to subjugate the crudities of the primeval plains and forests to human requirements. The perpetual struggles of the different tribes gave the do- minion of the earth to those l^t Idble to ruls It the strongest and most violent hu- man animal was then the fittest, and he sur- vived accordingly. Then came another era of human effort gradually culminating in the present period, in this, mere muscular strength, brute phy- sical power, and mere animal energy have become less and leas dimanded, as we have, by the aid of physical science, imprisoned the physical forces of nature in our steam- boilers, batteries, ete., and have made them our slaves in lieu of human prisoners of war. The coarse, muscular, raving, yellow, fight- ing human animal that formerly led the war- dance, the hunt, and the battle, is no longer the fittest for survival, but is, on the contrary, daily becoming more and more out of his place. His priz^-fights, his dog-fights, his cockpits, and bull-baiting are practically abolished, his fox-hunting, bird-shooting are only carried on at great expense by a wealthy residuum^ and by damaging interference with civilized agri- culture. The unfitness of the remaining re- presentatives of the primeval savage is mani- fest, and their survival is purely prejudicial to the present interests and future progress of the race. Such being the case, we now require some means of eliminating these coarser, more brutal, or purely animal specimens of hu- manity, in order that there may be more room for the survival and multiplication of the more intellectual, more refined, and al- together distinctively human specimens. It is desirable that this should be effected by some natural or spontaneoue proceeding of self-extinction, performed by the animal specimens themselves. If this self-immola- tion can be a pr cess that is enjoyable in thiir own estimation, all the objections to it that might otherwise be suggested by our feelings of humanity are removed. Now, these conditions arc exactly fulfilled by the alcoholic drinks of the. present day when used for the purpose of obtaining in- toxication. â€" W.

Friends occasionally write us, saying their grounds comprise so many acres, ask us to furnish a plan by which they may lay them out to the best advantage. Some- times these requests are accompanied by a sketch of the grounds in their present condi- tion. While desirous ot aiding our readers in every practicable manner, we are obliged to decline all such requests, if for no other reason than that it is impossible lor us to give the needed time to even make gen ral suggestions in individual cases*. Even when a completo map is s nt us, it would require hours, if not days of careful consideration, to determine what seems to be the best plan' that it is impossible to give to any one sabr scriber. Besides, were we to publish a pUin suited to one particular place, it would be of little or no use upon any other, It is from the utter irrtpossibility of meeting such re- quests, that we decline them. There .ire several works upon the laying out of grounds, which discuss the general points to be observed. The best our friends can do 13, to study such works, and apply their teachings to their own places. We give here one general rulekj^/ be observed Make no road or path that is not needed, that does not lead to some point. Fix the points to be reached by roads or paths, and let these sweep by easy curves from place to place; There are m^ny cases in which a stiaight road is preferable io a curved one, if so, make it. Use common sense in laying out grounds, as in all other matters, and do no unmeaning work. Always make a map of the grounds as they now are, and a plan of tlie propoeed alterations, and work from •neasurement. Tne New Be^orter's Keport. The new reporter was sent to the school examination.

Goat Milk in London. Oiie of the most picturesque sights in the squalid back streets which lie betwe n Leicester Square end Lincoln's Inn Fields is something exceedingly primitive and even romantic in the Epectacle. The French peas- ant who owns the small flock of goats which supply many families with their morning's milk saunters slowly behind his docile herd. They know the sound as well as their owner and pick their way across tiie network of streets with the utmost familiarity nor do they neg^ct to pick up any vegetable gi^ttage that may be lying across their path, T^bsn he utears the house of a customer the goatheid pla^s on a pipe, supposed toresemble that|3 the mythotogical Pan, a pleasant aid evS poetic substitute for the melanch^ h'o#l of th^ native milkraaii.

Our Naples correspondent writes "The last house excavated at Pompeii in Isola V., Regione V^III., is of an anomalous kind. It id situated at the south side of the isola. Its construction is quite, unusual as it poss- esses no proper atirum. Ou entering the doorway you find on your right a small stove in the corner of the passage, and on the left is the kitchen proper from a room tor slaves. Then to the right is a row of columns, forming a triangular space, in the midst of which is the triclinium with the reclining bed foimed of masonry, and in the centre a cylindrical table covered with slabs of marble geometrically arranged. The wall paintings of this open sp:-ce are not cf great value there are heads of Medusa, hippogriffs, and fantastic birds. Return- ing into the passage there is on the left next to the kitohen an exedra, with walls ornaoiented with white and yellow squares, divided by columns, decorations, and fes- toons all in fresco. At the entrauee of this room are two strange figures on the left an infant surprised at the sight of a large rat isAiing from a trap, and on the right the same infant tryinc to catch the rat. On the left wall is a medallion with a small figure, two cupids and two flying geniuses, oue with a pastoral staff in the left hand and a bunch of grapes in the right, the other with a staff in the right hand and the other sup- porting a basket on the shoulder. The opposite wall is in a bad condition, so that nothing can be distinguished but the fairt traces of a similar medallion. This room was covered, and above it and the kitchen was a second story, to which access was had by a staircase at the end of the ground floor passage and by a similar passage above. Be- hind the exedra (always to the left of the passage) comes an inclosed garden. A window into this garden gave light to the stiircase. At the extreme end to the right 18 another small room, with a window ot^n- ing into the triclinium.
