It was a "thussaith the Lord," and the sublime forms of angelic beings with mighty anus outstretched and robes dazzling as the light, read the vision.

A writer ill Blackwood speaks of Hunger us one of the beneficent vot terrible instincts, tho very tiro of life, underlying all impulse to labor?moving mi\n to noble activities by its imperious demand*?the motivo power ol tbo vast machinery of human action, and indispohsiblc to tho growth of civilization.? What is Hungor?what its causes and efforts? In one sense wo may all bo said to have known what Hunger is; in another sense no man can enlighten us : we have all felt, but Science as yet has been unable to furnish any sufficient explanation. Between tho gentle and agrcoble stimulus known asApnetiie, and the agony of Starvation, there ar" innnate gradations. Tho early stage? arc famitliar even to tho wealthy : but only the very I pour, or those win have uiidorgono exception ! ul calamities, such ns shipwreck and the liko know anything of tho latter stages. Wo a>l know what it is to be hungry ; but the terrible approaches .1' the protracted hunger are exceptional experiences. From material furnished by sad experiences, both familiar ami exceptional, I will endeavor to statu the capital phenomena and their causes. in every living organism there is an incessant and reciprocal activity of waste and repair. 'flic living fabric in tho very actions which constitutes its life, is momently yielding nit its particles of destruction, like the coal which is burned in the furnace: so much coal to so much heat, so much waste of tissue to so much vital activity. You ennnot wink your eye, move your linger,or think a thought but some minute particle of y?. ir substance must no m -niic.ou 111 doing so. Unless the coal which is burning be from time to time replaced, the tire soon smoulders, anil finally goes out; unless the substance of your body which is wasting he from timo to time furnished with fresh food, life flickers. And at last becomes extinct. llungor is tho instiac.t which teaches us to replenish the empty furnace. I5ut although the want of fond, necessary to repair the waste of life, is the primary cause of Hunger, it does not, as is often erroneously stated, in itsolf constitutes llun| ?-er. Tho absence of necessary food cause. ! i! o sensation, but it is not itself sensation, | may 1??- absent without any sensation, I such as we express by the word llungor, bo ; felt; as in tiie ease of insnue people, win, tiei|ue.n(ly subject themselves to prolonged abstinence from food, without any hungry cravings; and, in a lesser degree, it is famil iar to us all how any violent emotion of griei or,joy will completely destroy, not only the sbnso of Hunger, but our possibility of even swallowing the food which an hour before was eravingly desired. Further, it is known : that the fooling of Hunger may be allayed Ivy ujKuin, or cvru ny inorganic 8iii) J stances introduced into tho stomach, altho' \ none of those can supply the deficiency ol j food. Want of food is therefore the primary, i hut not the proximiito cuiisc of Hunger. Terrible are the aspects of starving men : and it i t well that we should know these a;peels, lost we lie the dupe of impostors, 01 confound the truly wretched with the professional mendicant. The first noticeable point is the excessive thinness of starving men, which is not the leanness of lean men, bul j manifests itself as uuuiistakeable emacitv j tion. The face is always lividly palp, the | cheeks are sunken, the j.vcs?oh! what au j III II1U l*> U> . lO li(J lUigOllVH i hy those who have once soon it: all the vi| tality of tho b>dy sooins eontoral there, in Co vorish brightness; tin; pupil is dilated, and tin* eyo is fixed in a wild Btalo wh'.oh is nov or veiled by tho winking lids. All move monts of tho body aro slow arid difficult: the hand trembles; the voice is feeble; intelli J pjcnce seoins gone : the wretched sufferers, \ when asked what they feel, have bul one an | s\vov, " We aro hungry." The sensation of Hunger is nt first rathei I asrreoable. but itnuieklv becomes unnleiuuin' if prolonged. Tho sense of kcon appetite i: delightful, but that "sinking in the stomach' which ensues, soon possos from an uneasy sensation into positive pain. The pain eooi becomes acute, ami if food bo stiil withheld wo feel as if the stomach were being torn b> pincers. A state of general exhaustion, l'e verishnoss. headache, light-headedness, offer flaming into madness, follows. The whole being seems possessed by one desire, before which even tho onergetio instinct ofnmtcrni ty lias been known to j^ivo way, and mother; hftvo disposed with their companions for thi flesh of their dead children. The effects of Thirst are first n dryness o the mouth, palate, and throat: the secretion! become lo--s copious ; tho mouth is covcrei \vit!i a thick ntucus, the ton^iie cleaves t? tlio palate, the voice becomes lmar.se. Tlior tlio eye; Hash lire, the breathing becomes dif flcult, ;i fevorish excitement often passin; into delirium, comes 011, sleep is fitful, am distressed by (Ironins like thoso of Tantalus Tho men shipwrecked in tlio Medusa dream constantly of shady ,woods and running streams. It is to bo noticed that tho se&sa I turn of Hurst >8 novor agreeable, no matte how slight it may be, and in this rosp :t ii unliko Hunger, which, in its incipient stnti ?f Appetito, is decidedly agreeable. The Ixi dies of those who have perished from Thirs dhow a great dryness of all tho tissues, i thickening of the humors, a certain degree o coagulation of the blood, numberless indica tion?i of inflammation, and sometime* gan crone of the p: i-.icipal viscera.
