iVCISOE T uT ? A "PTY
A NEW THEORY OF DIETETICS.-Dr.
Erasmus Wilson, quite celebrated in
England, lias been lecturing very
extensively, and finally published
several lectures, to prove that the
great body of the yoting En gish
gentry are annually starred into im?
becility and death by the insufficient
quality of .their food. Breakfasts of j
tea and toast he does not approve of;
and for growing youth, instead of
meat once a day at dinner, he thinks
three times a day would be none too
much. Instead of a diet two-thirds
vegetable to one-third of animal food,
he would have it two-thirds animal to
one-third vegetable.
He speaks of this chiefly as a means
of preventing disease. The most
vital organs, apart from the digestive
tube, are, he says, the brain, the
lungs and the heart. If these are not
supplied with a sufficiency of whole?
some nutriment, there are always ele?
ments of disease enough lurking
round to attack and destroy them.
We all know, for instance, that the
best safeguard against most fevers and
miasmatic diseases is a vigorous state
of health; and in a Southern climate,
to KO out of doors before taking
breakfast, is, therefore, justly consi?
dered dangerous. In like manner, in
the North, where diseases of the lungs
prevail, cod liver oil, the richest
cream, and, indeed, a generous diet,
is generally the best medicine. Thc
muscular fibre of meat, rather than
the fat or a vegetable food, is thc
great secret of even thc Banting sys?
tem. Nor is there any doubt but
that the healthy action of thc brain
and heart depend on plenty of good
nutriment.
FEMALE SOCIETY. - We endorse
every word of John Randolph about
ladies' society. Read what he says,
young man, and act accordingly :
"You know my opinion of female
society. Without it we should degen?
erate into brutes. This observation
applies with tenfold force to young
men and those who are in the prime
of manhood. For, after a certain
time in fife, the literary man makes a
shift (a poor one, I grant) to do with?
out the society of ladies. To a young
man nothing is important as a spirit
of devotion (next to his Creator) to
some amiable woman, whose image
may occupy his heart, and guard it
from pollution, which besets it on all
sides. A man ought to choose a wife,
as Mrs. Primrose did her wedding
gown, for qualities that "wear well."
One thing at least is true-that if
matxumouy has its cares, celibacy has
no pleasures. A Newton or a more
eminent scholar may find enjoyment
in mere study, a man of literary taste
can receive in books a powerful
auxiliary, but a man must have a
bosom friend, and children around
him, to cherish and support the
dreariness of age."
THE FITNESS OF THINGS.-Did any?
body ever reflect how living in such
a country as Australia, for instance,
must upset all one's established ideas
about the. fituess of things ? What?
ever previous experience of the points
of the compass a man may have bad,
is hero reversed. The sun no longer
shines from the southern half of the
heavens, but from the northern. The
old rule in the school geographies,
.' Turn your face to the sun, and you
will have the West at your right hand,
and the East at your left," must be
expunged from Iiis memory. The
Australians go "down North" to spend
the winter, and come "up South"
during the hot summer mouths. The
first strawdiorries and early potatoes
come from "down North." The
needle of the compass points toward
tho South, and the North Star is no
longer a symbol of steadiness. In
short, the North and the South ex?
change places, and the Australian
poets must sing odes to "the sunny
North" und "tho icy South."
?
An inventor and engineer who re?
cently died in England, had collected
at his own residence a large number
of ingenious automatic devices. The
doors opened as you approached them
and closed after you had entered ;
the water came unbidden into the
basins ; when the gas was lighted the
shutters closed ; a self-acting ther?
mometer prevented the temperature
from rising or falling above or below
certain fixed points. Even the gates
of his stable yard opened of them?
selves when lie drove through, and
closed again without slamming.

once declared in Parliament: "Sir, I
would give up half-nay, thc whole of
the Constitution, to preserve tJie re?
