1>IET. .It Of diet, considered in its general dims- n urns.?It is almost unnecessary to state that the best diet for man consists of a c mixture of animal ami vegetable sub- h stances with one mineral?salt. A few v whimsical persons have, in various ages, t absiained from animal food; the most o noted of these was Pythagoras, who flour- 1 isiied about 500 years before Christ, and o from whom the modern feeders on vege- t tables alone are generally called Pythago- I reuns. There is a Pythagorean sect in s this country, and a Pythagorean cookery- ,fc hook once fell into our hands; it permitted t; the use of eggs and milk. s In iavor of animal diet, on the other ji hainl, in addition to scriptural authority, ; v and the usage of all ages and countries, ; p ww may allude the structure of the human j hody itself. We Had that man not only }b resembles carnivorous as well as gramini- r vorous animals in his teeth, hut fchat ins ? intestines form a mean between those of l< the two classes; neither so long as those a of tiic annuals destined to live ou vegeta- b bles alone, nor so short as those of beasts a of prey. Too exclusive an animal diet c renders poisons subject to violent inflam- b tnatory attacks; and produces (as in the j L cise of butchers) that over-ilorid appear j I ance which the superHcial mistake lor the ' t hue of health, but which the discerning ; I know to be but one step, and scarcely one i t step, removed from disease. Too exclu ; d sive a vegetable diet reduces the strength. : ii * . ; r\ and forms a race of men peculiarly liable r to be mown down by low fevers. I: u must be confessed, however, that climate a modifies those rules considerably. Tae e native of a warm and dry country will I prosper on a diet which would hardly sua- r tain life in England; and .he coarser in- ! b liokitn nt wvf tliiA c k.\n.". h I lv*r O f\ uuutiu.'v ui iuu n uMiivn ? x' quantity of animal food which won id at- j 2 terly disorganize the more dedicate structure of the Hindoo.

Mr. Thackrah informs us, in his work on j i< the diseases of artisans, that Irish recruits i t % I often sutfer from the generous diet al-1' lowed to soldiers; and they are ?o sensible j t of the fact themselves, that when attacked j p bv diseqse they say to the military sur- j s goons. ".Sir, it's the mute that's killing u me. I Consequences of very Injudicious die'.? 3 If we wish to know what are the results li of the most injudicious diet persevered in n with the spirit of a martyr, we must not a turn to the rich pies and champagne of e the opulent epicure, nor to the tripe and ! t< gin of the inhabitant of St. (Giles's, but v refer to the experiment tried upon his h own person by a bold and ingenious phv- h sician of the last century?Dr. Suirk.? ; v He began them in June. 1709, and they ia terminated with his life in the foUowiifg c February. In reading tne early life of in those heroes whose exploits were destined b one day to surpass all that minstrels had i ti sung or poets imagined, we often find | f that the zeal of the young aspirant was j f inflamed to its highest oitcli bv a recital u " 1 .1 of the deeds of his predecessors: attd in u like manner Dr. Stark seems to have been ! D encouraged in his course by what he calls I 44 Facts relating to Diet," which are sufti-; fi ciently interesting to justify us in quoting j tl them. | ft ?4Dr. B. Franklin, of Philadelphia, in- fi formed aie that he himself, when a journeyman printer, lived a fortnight on bread ! si a; 'atur, at the rate of 1(1 lbs. of bread I b pc week, and that lie found himself stout j o and hearty with this diet. j n * He likewise told me that ho knew a , gontl. man, who. having :>oeu takeu h\-' h the Barbery corsairs, was employed to " wt>rk in the quarries, and that the only i n food allowed him was harlev, a certain 11 quantity of which was put into his pockets every morning ; water he found at the v place of labor; his practice was. to eat c c little now and then, whilst at work, and n having remained many years in slavery, he had acquired so far the habit of eating ' frequently and little at a time, that when h he returned home his only food was gin- i ^ ? i *_ u L. " :_.i L . ?l gerurcau inns, wmrii nccuuieu in mis * ' pocket, and of which he ate from time to a time. h 44 Bv Sir John Pringlc I was told that \ a til: ir.hntutants of Zephalonia, during ~ some parts of the year, live wholly on currants. 11.; also snd thai he knew a lady, now 90 years of age, who ate only the mire fat of meat. ** I learned from Dr. Mackenzie, that 11 many of the poor people near Inverness * never took any kind of animal food, not even eggs, cheese, butter, or milk. ' 44 Mr. Hewson informed me that Mr. 11 Orred, a surgeon at Chester, knew a ^ ship's crew, wiio, being detained at sea aftei all their provisions were consumed. lived, one part of them on tobacco, the i4 other on sugar; and that the latter generally died of the scurvy, whilst the it* Jj in-.t remained free from this disease, or soon r> covered. { 44 Dr. Circlli says, that the Neapolitan j ^ physicians frequently allow their patients i. in fevers nothing hut water for 4 J days j t together. ! s < *' 44 Mr. Slingsbv has lived rnanv years on t| bread, m:lk, an i vegetables, without aui- ^ nial fi.<>d or wine ; he has excellent spirits. r i> very vigorous, and has been free froin tj the gout ever since he began this regi- a men. c 4t Dr. Knight has also lived many years y on a diet strictly vegetable, excepting t] eggs in puddings, milk with his tea and r( chocolate, and butter, lie finds wine e necessary to him. Since he lived mi this i j manner he has been free from the s g out.*" j These specimens of fantastic diet do j not require much commentary : currants t (/'. t. the small raisins of Zante) are , among the most indigestible articles, and in large quantities would produce violent diarrhoea; even a fever patient cannot j t. live on water alone for forty d.?y* ; and J ,i Iii i . itLLuawjygwwjBiHB. wm, rm obacco will dull the appetite, but not o lourish the body. , ir Let us now proceed to Dr. Stark's own fi xperiments. On the 24th of June he tl egan with a diet of bread and water, si which he had the fortitude to continue till . si he 26th of July, when he changed it for u >ne of bread, water, and sugar. On 'he o 1th of August,441 ate twenty four ounce* e f bread and sixteen ounces of sugar, but t| he last part of it with great abhorcnoe. ti now perceived small ulcers on the in- tl ide of my cheeks, particularly near a had p o ?th, in the lower jaw, of the right side ; w he gums of the upper jaw, of the same b ide, were swelled and red, and bled when s iressed with the finger; the right nostril tl rns also internally red or purple, and very n lainful*"?p. 102. e This diet was succeeded by one of tl read and water, with oil of olives. This |; educed him to such a state, that on the | ii Sth of September he was so weak and, i >w that he almost fainted in walking Ii .cross his room. His fourth diet was of c road, water, and milk ; his fifth of bread o rid water, with roasted goose. We then a oinc to diets of bread and water with u oiled beef; bread and water with sugar; c read with boiled beef and water; &c. &c Hie last mess hut once, which appears o have given the finishing stroke to )r. Slark's digestive organs, wearied hy he eccentricities of eight months, was a liet of bread or flour with honey, and s nfusion of tea or of rosemary. When r !> nr was used, it was made into a pud- k iug with the honey. The last diet was . f bread, Cheshire cheese, and infusion 11 f f rosemary. On the 18th of February, 1 )r. Stark took bread with infusion of osernary, but no cheese. On this day v is complaints became serious, and in spite >f good medical advice, he died oa the s Dr. Currie terminates the account of ^ >:ie of his experiments on cold bathing 1 villi the remark that the chief thing he named from it was. that it was not rashly I1 o he repeated ; we fear that the same 0 neluncholy lesson is almost the only 11 hing to be deduced from Dr. Stark's ex- c t"! erunenIs. They appear to have de- ' troved him hy causing an inflammation ( f the alimentary canal. ,l Nor arc tliese whimsical diets better uitcd for beast than for man, us appears e rom so:? of Majcndie's cruel experi- n umts:?" A dog fed upou white sugar t( nd water exclusively, appeared, for sevn or eight days, to thrive upon this stusenauee. He was lively,?ate and drank i-itii avidity. Towards the second week, s towever, he began to lose flesh, though is appetite continued good. In the third .. rwk lie lost his liveliness and appetite; 1 nd an ulcer formed in the middle of each ? ornca, which perforated it, and the' hu- a lours of the eye escaped: the animal c ecamc more and more feeble, and died 11 lie thirty.second day of the experiment, tosults nearly similar ensued with dogs w ed upon olive oil and distilled water, but ti io ulceration of the cornea took place ;? nd upon dogs fed with gurn, and with a utter. ? "A dog fed with white bread made rom pure wheat, and with water, died at ! M lie expiration of fifty days. Another, id exclusively on military biscuit, suf- tj Bred no alteration in its health. 44 Rabbits or guinea-pigs fed upon one * Libslancc only, as com, buy, barley, cab- * ' age, currois, &c., die with all viic.nparks f inanition, generally in the first fort- n "lit .lrnl .iiiiiiilimnii Ji in nor [ 1] "Ail ass Jed upon boiled rice died in I n fteen davs, having lattcrlv refused its ! d - * O * . onrishment. *A cock lived for many moths upon this substance, and preserved ii is health- p " Dogs fed exclusively with cheese, or t Mh hard e^gs, are found to live for a on-Mierable period ; but become feeble, neagrc, and lose their hair.*" We will conclude this account of inju. ions diet with two observations. The " irst is, that variety, which is proverbially harming, is in diet absolutely necessary; '' he second is, that concentrated food, uch as jelly or strong soup, is to be used f ut sparingly, as it is not very nourishing, a nrl is remarkably difficult of digestion. n * >1 ayoV Ph /Biology,* 2nd. edition, pp. 206-9. r( A Nice Distinction.?It once hap. toed unto me to be present in a school 8 a the " Old Country" where the |>edngo. ;ue thus addressed a rebellious pupil : a Atyourage and with your abilities you ught to be a pattern to the other boys, ii iistcad of which I ain obliged to make an ci xample of you"?and thereupon he i? Irrashed him soundly. tl A Yankee went into a bar room of a n >w Dutch tavern, and taking from his ' ockct a pen knife, stuck the point of it n one of the beams, which crossed the ^ entre of the room ; he then walked up to w he bar for a glass of sling which having >roeured he produced a shilling saying, S1 there landlord, place that shilling on hi lie floor directly under the knife rr o that the knife shall 'hit the nark, when it falls, and you shall H| iave the shilling."

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 by 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 Lr?cnd.

In the course of?much less than a quarter of a century, he found liunstdf in a highly flourishing condition. Being blessed with a stout p'lir of lungs and a very pleasing demeanor, he h id secured an auc?lOncr's appointment, in course of tunc, and had managed to do a first r ite business. After long absence from Ins native region, he found it convenient to visit the friends of his eatly days. Time had workel sad changes. l)uriug his absence, the new fangled doclfiue of abolitionism had beeD introduced, and lie found himself assailed, hy a multitude of persons, very auvious to gain in-~ formation in regard to the South. lie was persecuted- with aJJ sorts of enquiries, and on more than one occasion, was obliged to enter the lists in de fence of Southern mslitu tiuus.
