the art of packing, illustrating to lhe last
extremity the economical problem of the
greatest possible number irt the smallest
possible space. Assuming- the area of
London to be nineteen squares miles, it
yields-ins a population on' each mile of
130,000 human creature, performing
within that stinted compass all the opera
tions of life and death, mixed up in fear

tal and mischievous, making loe, begging
alms, picking pockets, juggling, grinding
organs, rolling in carriages, exhibiting
happy families" in the streets, and re
turning at night in unspeakable misery at
home. This population is taken on an av-
erage of the whole surface, ilf we de
scend into the more denselyi inhabiied
quarters of the town we may f airly double
it ; fromhich estimate the reader is re
quested to draw a faint picture in his
thoughts of the condition of existence, re
spective of aircleanliness, bodand space.
in which some hundreds 'of thousands of
people,eat, drink, and die, jn London, from
one year's end to another. A quarter of
a million of souls subsisting within the
limits of a square mile is a spectacle of a
stand-up' .fight against nature, sbch as can
not be rendered very intelligible by de
scription. The magnitude of the wretch
edness baflles us. Individual suffering
makes a direct appeal to our sympathies,
while the sufferings of large masses are
somewhat vague. The mind can readily
admit a family group stricken on their
straw pallets by famine and disease, but
it cannot all at once tak'e in a whole dis
trict undergoing the slow agpnjes of defi
cient food and a foetid atmosphere. As
the numbers crowd uporyus, the dislinct
ness of the misery diminishes.
MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
Jones is in general a good hiisband and
a domestic man. Occasionally, however,
his convivial tastes betray him into ex
cesses which have subjected him more
than once to the discipline of Mrs. Jones.
A' few nights since he was invited to "par
ticipate" with a few frientls atiFlorence's
by way of celebrating a piece of good
luck which had befallen one of his neigh
bors. He did "participate" and to his ut
ter astonishment, when he rose to take his
leave, at the "wee short hour ayont the
twal," he found the largest brick in his hat
hre ever saw. Indeed, he was heard to re-
mark soliliqueutly. "I think, Mr. Jones,
) vvfi neverquite so tight before."
He reached his home finally, but by a
route which was anything but the short
est distance between two points, not. how.
ever, without having experienced very
considerable anxiety about the reception
which awaited him from Mrs. Jones. He
ws in luck that night, was Mr. Jones,
barring always his primal transgression:;
he got into his house, found hii way, into
his chamber without "waking a creature,
not even a mouse." jfter closing his
door.'ne cautiously paused to give thanks
for the "conscience undefiled; which se
cured to Mrs. Jones the sound and refresh
ing sleep which haupreventedlier taking
notice of his arrival. Being satisfied that
all was right, he proceeded, to remove his
integuments with as much despatch and
quiet as circumstances would permit, and
in the course of time sought the, vacant
place beside his slumbering consort. Af
ter resting a moment, and congratulating
himself that he waY in bed, and that his
wife did not know how long he had been
there, it occurred to hinrthal if he did not
change his position Mrs. Jones might de
tect from his breath that he had been in
dulging. To prevent such a catastrophe,
he resolved to turn over. He had about
half accomplished his purpose we are
now obliged to use the idiomatic language
of Mr. Jones himself, from whom we re
ceive this chapter of his domestic trials
"when Mrs. Jones riz right up; in the bed,
and, said she, in tones that scraped the
marrow all out of my bones, said she.
'Jones, you netf nt turn over, you re drunk
clean through' N. Y. Post.

SMALL POX IN M!ONTGQMERhT.
The, Alabama Jpttmat of the 25ib instant,
sa)s : 1 he Hoard of Health reports that no
new cases of SmalLPox has occurred since
the 9ib instant, and no Varioloid for the last
week. In fact, ihe epidemic, which was never
of fnuch importance from the first, Las ceased
here been vaccinated out." !
This is a very satisfactory demonstration of
the advantages and importance of vaccination
as a preventive against this loathsome disease.
The facility and rapidity of transportation by
means of steam from one extreme of the coun
try to another, and especially from the seaports
to the interior, render general vaccination a
mong the whole people much more necessary
now than any former period of our history.:
This fact is apparent from the appearance of
the disease in so many, and such remote sec
lions ol the country during the past (all and
winter, and should admonish all elates to pro
vide against its incursions; by the only preven
tive known to science vaccination. This is
easily performed, and is a tended with no dan
ger or sicktiess when the matter is obtained
from a healthy subject ; aijid as to its efficacy,
there is no doubt in every instance where it
takes properly. It is truej it is very difficult
to tell by observation, nay almost impossible
even by the most practiceiJ eye, whether the
ulcer formed on the arm is' a perfect orie, and
a sure preventive against the disease. It's ef
ficacy may, however, be easily and effectually
tested by re. vaccination, until it fails . to have
any effect, Or produce an ulcer. When this oc
curs, the subject may Xe considered as in no
danger of taking the disease, even though he
may be in the same room wilh and nurse a
patient with small pox.
That vaccination is thus efficacious is abun
dantly established by the progress and history
of small pox, from the time of the discovery,
and especially vindicated by a case which or
curred near Hamburg, South Carolina, last fall.
A gentleman, the head of ia family, who had
been imperfectly vaccinated, took small pox,
which proved to lie a very severe case, and al
though his wife and a family of several children,
wilh servants (all of whom had been vaccina
ted) remained in the same house and lot, and
nursed him during his illness, not one of them
took the disease, notwithstanding all wf re ex
posed to it. We mention this fact to remove
the doubts which niauyfeel as to the efficacy
of vaccination as a preventive, and the preju
dices indulged by others. Augusta Sentinel.

A SAD CONFESSION.
Not long since a wealthy merchant of one of our cit
ies poured into tbe ear of a valued firend his bitter com
plaints of the conduct of his two and only sons. 'My
life is rendered perfectly miserable by their reckless dis
sipation and shameless profligacy,' taid he. Thai friend
inquired of the merchant if he could bear plain dealing.
Yes,' was the rebly. i 'After whaf I have been made to
suffer by those of my own household, I feel that I can
bear anything from otbers.' The friend laid his band
kindly upon the merchant's shoulder, and inquired,
Where did your children learn to drink intoxicating
stimulants V In the most impassioned manner conceiv
able, the wretched man exclaimed, 'At my own table!
and, O, sir, ' said he, that reflection ia the most bitter J
drop in the draught lam compelled to drain.' Where
on earth, with all bis wealth, can that wretched father
now find happiness? I He has thoughtlessly made his
sons pass through the fire to oup American Molock,
and the scorched and blasted victims will, in all proba

guish while he MTe or go before him to dishonored
