HABIT'. Dr. Plot, in his history of Stafford Staffordshire, - shire, Staffordshire, tells us of an ideot that lived within the sound of a clock, who was always amusing himself by counting the hours of the day, whenever it struck. The clock being spoiled, the ideot con continued - tinued continued to strike and count the time without it, in the same manner he did before. A hoy in Vermont accustomed t 6 working alone, was so prone to whistle whistleing, - ing, whistleing, that as soon as he was by himself, he unconsciously commenced. When asleep, the muscles of the mouth, chest, and lungs were so completely concate concatenated - nated concatenated in this association, he whistled with astonishing shrillness. A pale countenance, loss of appetite, and al almost - most almost total prostration of strength, con convinced - vinced convinced his mother it would end in death, if not speedily overcome ; which accomplished by placing him in the so society - ciety society ol another boy, who had orders to give him a blow as often as he began (6 whistle. An attorney insensibly contracted a habit of numbering his steps, when walk walking, - ing, walking, and, when in his office, of thinking how many paces distant were certain places in the neighbourhood. He found it nearly impossible to meditate on any other subject. He fancies a cure was effected by walking oyer a stream, on a pole, where he was sh imminentsdanger of being drowned. . A pious woman iu the eastern section of New Hampshire, who drew large quantities of water from a deep well, with a pole, was repeatedly otaerved, at her evening devotions, before the Bible, unconsciously moving her arose all the while, as lo drawing the bucket from the well.
