Extracts.
An Accomplishment.— The most singular spit iv the world is that of Count de Castel Maria, one of the most opulent loids of Treviso. Thii spit turns 130 different roasts at once, and plays twentyfour tunes, and whatever it plays corresponds to a certain degree of cooking, which is perfectly understood by the coolc. Thus a leg of mutton, a I' Anglaise, will be excellent at the twelfth air; a fowl, a la Flamande, will be full of gravy at tbe eighteenth, and so on. It would be difficult, perhaps, to carry farther the love of music and gornundiziug,— Ze Fuiet.
Sensation.— Innumerable facts ierve to convince us that the mind cannot attend to two or more sensations at the same time. " Hold your tongue," said a Frenchman, " you talk so that I cannot taste my meat." The Frenchman was right ; for attention to sound is not less necessary to full perception than a healthful state of the organg of sense.— Gregory's Nature.
