1>IET. Of diet, considered in its general diviston.?.?It is almost unnecessary to state j that the best diet for man consists of a j mixture of animal and vegetable sub- | stances with one mineral?salt. A few whimsical persons have, in various ages, abstained from animal food; the most noted o! these was Pythagoras, who flourished about 500 years before Christ, and j trom whom the modem feeders on vege- j tables alone are generally called Py thagorcans. There is a Pythagorean sect in this country, and a Pythagorean cookerybook once fell into our hands; it permitted j the use of eggs and milk. In favor of animal diet, on the other } hand, in addition to scriptural authority, and the usage of all ages and countries, J ww may allege the structure of the human i body itself. We find that man not only resembles carnivorous as well as gramini-1 vorous animals in his teetk, but that bis J intestines form a mean between those oi the two classes; neither so long as those of the annuals destined to live ou vegetables alone, nor so short as those of beasts of prey. Too exclusive an animal diet renders poisons subject to violent induininatory attacks; and produces (as in the cise of butchers) that over-florid appearance which the superficial mistake for the hue of health, but which the discerning j know to be but one step, and scarcely one step, removed from disease. Too exelu sive a vegetable diet reduces the strength, . i and forms a race of men peculiarly lialde to be mown down bv low fevers, is must be confessed, however, that climate . modifies these rules considerably. Tae ! native of a warm and drv country will prosper on a diet which would hardly sus- j tain life in England; and .he coarser in- ! habitant ot the north is bench led by a quantity of animal food which would lit- | terly disorganize the more delicate struc- j ture of the Hindoo. Habit, too, must everywhere be taken into consideration, j Mr. Thackrah informs us, in his work on the diseases of artisans, that Irish recruits i often sutfer from the generous diet al-1 lo wed to soldiers; and they are so sensible j of the fact themselves, that when attacked j bv diseqse they say to the military sur- j goons, "Sir, its the mate that's killing! me." I Consequences of very injudicious dicf.? If we wish to know what are the results of the most injudicious uiet persevered in with the spirit of a martyr, we must not turn to the rich pies and champagne of the opulent epicure, nor to the tripe and : gin of the inhabitans of St. Hiles's, but j refer to the experiment tried upon hi* own person by a bold and ingenious phv- j sician of the last century?Dr. Stark.? i He began them in June. 1709, and they i terminated with his life in the foUowufg < February. In reading tne early life ofji those heroes whose exploits were destined ono day to surpass all that minstrels had > 6ung or poets imagined, we often find j that the zeal of the young aspirant was j inflamed to its highest pitcii by a recital j i of the deeds of his predecessors: and in i like manner Dr. Stark seems to have been ; i encouraged in his course by what he calls I " Facts relating to Diet," which are sufficiently interesting to justify us in quoting them. I 44 Dr. B. Franklin, of Philadelphia, informed me that he himself, when a journcymnn printer, lived a fortnight on bread j i a.id water, at the rate of 19 lbs. of bread per week, and that he found himself stout 1 and hearty with this diet. 44 He likewise told me that ho knew a gentl. man, who. having hecn taken by the Barbary corsairs, was employed to work in the quarries, and that the only , food allowed him was harlev, a certain quantity of which was put into his pock-J ets ?very morning ; water he tound al the j place of labor; his practice was. to rat e ' little naw and then, whilst at work, and having remained many years in slavery, he had acquired so far the habit of eating frequently and little at a time, that when he returned home his only food was gingerbread nnts, which he carried in his pocket, and of which he ate from time to time. 44 Bv Sir John Pringlc I was told that tii : ir.hahitants of Zcphaionia, during some parts of the year, live wholly on currants. He also s-nd that he knew a lady, now 90 years of age, who ate only the pure fat of meat. 44i learned from Dr. Mackenzie, that manv of the i>oor people near Inverness never took aav kind of animal food, not | even eggs, cheese, butter, or milk. ' "Mr. Hewson informed me that Mr. Orred, a surgeon at Chester, knew a ship's crew, who, being detained at sea * aftei all their provisions were consumed, lived, one part of them on tobacco, the other on sugar; and that the latter generally died of the scurvy, whilst the for. iner remained free from this disease, or soon r< covered. 44 Dr. CireJIi says, that the Neapolitan ; ?U..?.n.anu rronnnntlv nllnU' thftir nuliontA I pilVdlViailO lit \J MillMJ v.. .?x . -.. in fevers nothing but water for 4J days together. 44 Mr. Slings'iy has lived many years on bread, milk, and vegetables, without auimal food or wine; he has excellent spirits, is very vigorous, and has been free from the gout ever since he began this regimen. 4 Dr. Knight has also lived many years on a diet strictly vegetable, excepting egg9 in puddings, milk with his tea and chocolate, and butter. He finds wine necessary to him. Since he lived in this * I manner ho has been free from the gout.*" ( These specimens of fantastic diet do not require much commentary : currants (i. e. tin? small raisins of Zante) are among the most indigestible articles, and in large quantities would produce violent diarrhoea; even a fever patient cannot live on water alone for forty J.iy* ; aud ? / * .Work*. |p 'J-2-3. \ tobacco will dull the appetite, but not r nourish the body. , ' Lot us now proceed to Dr. Stark's own f experiments. On the 24th of June lie t began with a diet of bread and water, s which he iiad the fortitude to continue til!, s the 26th of July, when lie changed it for 11 one of bread, water, and sugar. On 1 he c 11th of August, " I ate twenty four ounces c of bread and sixteen ounces of sugar, but t the last part of it with great abhorcnoe. t I now perceived small ulcers on the in- t side of inv cheeks, particularly near a bad j to >th, in the lower jaw, of the right side ; 1 the gums of the upper jaw, of the same 1 side, were swelled ami red, and bled when , pressed with the finger; the right nostril t was also internally red or purple, and very 1 painful*"?p. 102. ( This diet was succeeded by one of | bread and water, with oil of olives. This I reduced him to such a state, that on the J i 9th of September he was so weak and , 1 low that he- almost fainted in walking | across his room. His fourth diet was of < bread, water, and milk ; his fifth of bread < and water, with roasted goose. We then 1 come to diets of bread and water with < boiled beef; bread and water with sugar ; < bread with boiled beef and water; &c. &c Tbe last mess but once, which appears to have given the finishing stroke to T Dr. Shark's digestive organs, wearied by the eccentricities of eiirhl months, was a | diet of bread or flou: with honey, and ! infusion of tea or of rosemary. When 1 flour was used, it was made into a pud- j din-; with the honey. The last diet was \ of bread, Cheshire cheese, and infusion 1 of rosemary. On the iSth of February, Dr. Stark took bread with infusion of rosemary, but no cheese. On this day his complaints became serious, and in spite of good medical advice, he died oa the {4 23rd. I! Dr. Currie terminates the account of i * one of his experiments on cold bathing I ' with the remark that the chief thing he j learned from it was. that it was not rashly *j ' to he repeated ; we fear that the same j{ melancholy lesson is almost the only | 1 tiling to he deduced from Dr. Stark's ex- ( I poriinenls. They appear to have destroyed him by causing an inflammation ' of the alimentary canal. Nor are these whimsical diets better suited for beast than for man, as appears c from some of Majendie's cruel experiments:?"A dog fed upon white sugarj1 and water exclusively, appeared, for sevdii or eight days, to thrive upon this sostenance. He was lively,?ate and drank 1 with avidity. Towards the second week, s however, he began to lose flesh, though fus appetite continued good. In the third j week he lost his liveliness and appetite; ind an ulcer formed in the middle of each * mnicn, which perforated it, and the hu- n iiours of the eye escaped: the animal >ecame more and more feeble, and died j 1 :he thirty.second day of the experiment, j Results nearly similar ensued with dogs { v ed upon olive oil and distilled water, but 11 io ulceration of the cornea took place ;? j ind upon dogs fed with gum, and with a >uttcr. ? 44 A dog fed with white bread made e from pure wheat, and with water, died at t( he expiration of tifty days. Another, fed exclusively on military biscuit, sufierod no alteration in its health. 44 Rabbits or guinea-pigs fed upon one v iubsiunce only, ?is corn, hay, harley, cab. 1 )age, carrots, &c., die with all the, marks >f inanition, generally in the first fort- r night, and sometimes sooner. 1 "An ass fed upon boiled rice died in i fifteen days, havidg Iattcrlyv refused its ' c nourishment.

" Dogs fed exclusively with cheese, or j w.th hard eggs, are found to live for a considerable period; but become feeble, meagre, and lose their We will conclude this account of injti. lious diet with two observations.

( A Nice Distinction.?It once hap. pened unto me to be present in u school I in the " Old Country" where the jiedngogue thus addressed a rebellious pupil : * At your age and with your abilities you ought to be a pattern to the other boys, i instead of which I am obliged to make an c example of you"?and thereupon he j thrashed him soundly. t A Yankee went into a bar room of a low Dulcii tavern, and taking from his pocket a pen knife, stuck the point of it in one of the beams, which crossed the ^ centre of the room ; he then walked up to v the bar for a glass of sling which having I . I ? procured ne produced a sniiung saying, ^ there landlord, place that shilling on h the Hour directly under the knife r so that the knife shall 'hit the mark, when it falls, and you shall a have the shilling." It cannot be done," j, replied the landlords, 4 no man can do that. Place the shilling there yourself, ^ ind if the knife hits it the first time, I ^ i:hargo yen nothing for your drink." The Yankee raised his glass to the knife so that the handle dipped in the liquor ; then ernoving the glass, a drop fell from the 1 3nd of the handle to the floor. On this ^ Irop he placed the shilling, and then striking the beam with bis hand, the jar Jctached the knife which fell on the shilling of course. 4 I know'd you be von tam Yankee,' said the Dutchman, * Now ? ine give vou von more drink besides that.' , D h Tight Lacing.?All the world has a- a greed to recognise the Mediccan Venus c as the unity of every perfection in the fe- r male torui.

The rolling of his restless eye, and the convulsive workings of his countenance, showed plainly that conscience, so long bound down, had burst her fetters, and was speaking ' with a voice louder than her wont.

The consequence was that she appeared pale and miserable, like one perishing with the severity of the weather: while her sister, who, regardless of her sliape, had attired herself rationally with thick garments lined with fur, looked warm and healthy, and ruddy as a rose. The gentleman was fascinated hy her who had the most health and >he most prudence; and having obtained the father's consent to the change, left the mortified sister to shiver in single blessedness.?A French Legend,.

One day, after he h;id arrived at years of discretion, < He " inadd tracks" for the region of the South. In the course of?much less than a quarter of a century, he found himself in a highly flourishing condition. Being blessed with a stout p.tir of lungs and a very pleasing demeanor, he h oi secured an aucioner's appointment, m course of tunc, and had managed to do a first rite business. After long absence from Ins native region, fie found it convenient to visit the friends of his eafiy days. Time had workel sad changes. Ourmg his absence, the new fangled doctrine of abolitionism had beeo introduced, and he found himself assailed, by a multitude of persons, very anxious to gain in. formation in regard to tin? douth. He was persecuted- with al! sorts of enquiries, and on more than one occasion, was obliged to enter the lists m defence of Southern inslitu Lions. Soon after his arrival at his early home, he ca'led to see an old antiquated aunt. She was the devoted disciple of every thing new. When the days of att'i inasonary commenced, fIic was an. i-mason; nay, she was > even the secretary of a M Fecial.* Anti-Masonic Society."

The whole town wcut crazy? all the old women an?J all the young woman commenced the war?against the South ami its institutions?there was not a petticoat in the region that failed to stand aghast at the very idea of slavery. An association was organized forthwith, and the old lady, of whom we speak, was elected as its President. 11 was after this occurrence that our New Orleans auctioneer called upon her. He reached out his hand, but, to his utter astonish, mem. the old lady refused lo touch it. "1 understand, John," said she, solemnly, "that you arc an auctioneer in Ihc South, and that you have sold slaves.? Touch not pitch, lest ye be deli leu, is the admonition." The auctioneer was puzzled, and was just about turning to leave the house in scorn, when the old lady spoke again. " Is the story true John ?" asked she. * Why, to tell the truth aunt/' said John, " { have sold slaves at auction, hut it is an absolute fact, that 1 never sold one in my life miilumt crying." "Is it possible!" exclaimed the old woman, lilting her spectacles to her forehead, "that you have so much sensibility!
