A man framed to violent exercise from his childhood, is said to be capable of dis tancin2 the Gre,est horses, and of c0ntinu- ing his course when they give up in weari- ness and exhaustion. His muscular pow CT is immense, as we see daily proved by the weights raised with ease by common porters. However, the exertions of onr pedestrians give but faint idea ot the full power of pract!Sed runner. The cour- icrs of Persia used regularly 10 traverse 30 leagues in the space of l4 hours; and ma ny natives of Africa are reported to be a. be to outs,rip the Lion. The savages of North America pursue the swiftest stags with such rapidity as to weary and overake them. They have been known to travel over the most rugged and painless mo,nt- aims, a distance of il or 1900 leagues in weeks or 2 months.

 SHUT THE DOOR !-Now that cold weather is coming in good earnest, and mountains begin to be white with snow, we beg leavesto renew our hint to those who have doors, to keep them shut, to save fuel, and make themselves comfortable. It is no trifling matter, when wood is dear and money scarce, 10 warm all out doors. bu. if you are resolved on warming the country at large, the better way will be to take your doors from their hinges, to pre- vent them from slaming by the rude north- casters, and lay them up safely till warm weather, when they may be needful as barrier against beetles, flies, mosquitoes. But if you would keep the frost without and comfort within, recollect this homely but useful maxim: II

 The hindmost shut the door;

 But, behind or before,

 Be sure tO shut the door.
