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

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. 'A cock liveii for many
months upon this substance, and preserved i
its health- ?
" 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. The 1
first is, that variety, which is proverbially
charming, is in diet absolutely necessary; '
the second is, that concentrated food, f
such as jelly or strong soup, is to be used I

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

The last rays of the declining sun
shone through the lattice of the sick man's
room, lighting up nis pale features wflli a
jrim, unearthly aspect. 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.
" Have you made a clean breast my (
son,' said his confessor, "or is there some i
<in yet unropented of, that causes your
distress ? Speak, I entreat you, in peniLence
and truth, and hope to be forgiven." j
" There is one act of my past life," re- >
plied the guilty man, " that weighs heavy i
jii my conscience, and if it was not in j
iny power vet to make reparation for the j
:riinc, I should despair indeed. But as j
iiuo is still lett to make amends for a !

ray, pray. You see how much 1 conradict

" Of course, you didn't contradict me
it dinnertime: oh, no ! not you !"says the
gentleman. "Yes, I did," says the lady.
"Oh'you did? cries the gentleman;
> you admit that ?"
"If you call that contradiction, I do,"
he lady answere; " and I say again, Edyard,
that when you are wrong I will conradict

" Not my slave !" repeats the gentlcnan
bitterly; "and you still mean to say

here are fourteen doors, and no more."
" Well, then" cries the gentlemau, risng
in despair, and pacing the room with
upid strides, " this is enough to destroy a
nan's intellect and drive him mad !"

A LESSON TO YOUNG LADIES.
The eldest of two sisters was promised
y her father to a gentleman possessed
f a large estate. The day was appointed J
or the gentleman to make his visit, he t
laving not, as yet, seen either of them, 1
nd the ladies were informed of his
oming, that they might be prepared to J
cceive him. The ulKanced bride who j
kus the handsomest of the two, being deirous
to show her elegant shape and slen
maememBtaBesfX
tier waist to the best advantage, clot hod
herself iu a dross, which sate very tight
and close upon her, without anv lining or
facing of fur, though it was in winter,
and exceedingly cold. 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,.

A TRIPLE PUN.
Miss Edgeworth was one evening busy
writing beside her father when a servant

china cup, then turned on the boiling water
into the teapot, let it stand the lime
proper for infusion; put into other cups
their cream and sugar, pouring thereon?

omitted to putin the hyson, so that the
draught she now offered her parent was
very inilk-and-waterish indeed. "Were

nut remember the precise locality?there
sprouted into ex stence a very specimen ot an
enterprising Yankee. 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

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.

John, " { have sold slaves at auction, hut
