Un the inferi or surace of the liver is it peculiar bladder. in which the bile is first preserved, being formned by the liver from the b~o-d. Thence it passes into the stomach and intestines. and regulates the indigestion. Thus we see when thei e is a deficieney of bile, the body is constaitlycostive. On the o;her hand, an overabundance of bile causes frequent nausea in the stomnachi; and of ten promotes very se% ere attacks of disease, which 'ometimes end in death. Fevers are always preceded by syinpitons of a disordered stomach; as are also scrofulous disorders, and all sympathetic functional. or ganic orfebrile diseases.

CHARACTER OF WASHl.rGTO.t The beautiful effusion which the reader will find below, is the production of the chaste and classic mind of the late venera ble and eistinguished Senator from Rhode Island, Mr. ilobbins, and was occasioned by the following circurmstauces; During tie Session of 1837-8, Mr.; Webster en tertnined a large party of friendsat diter; among them the venerable Senator we have named. The evening passed off wth much hilarity, enlivened with. wit and sentiment; bit during the greater part of the lime, Mr. Itobbint maitained that grave hut placiul silence which was his habil. While thus apparently abstracted, some one suddenly calleit on him for a toast, which call was seconded by the comipany. lie role, and in his surprtse asked ifihey were serious in makingsuch a dem-ta'd of so old a man ; and being as sured that they I erg, he said if they would suspend th,-ir hilarity for a f-w inoments, heI would give them a toast and preface it with a rew observations.
