Diet and Digestion* Our good neighbors the French, or rallier the philosophers among them, have asserted that the perfecting of man and hi* species depends upon attention to diet and digestion ; and, in a material point of view, they are not far wrong ; anil, indeed, in a non-material point of view, it may ho paid that the spirit,-without judgment, is very likely to bo exposed to indigestion ; and 1 t/irli?r*o 1 < J-V...UJ.O iuiii|iiei(* is 10 we prewrred to nn ill-digested erudition. Willi diet tlud patience, Walpole thought all tho diseases of man might be easily cured. Montesquieu, on the other hand, held that health purchased by rigorously watching over diet, waB but a> tedious difoaso. T3ut< , Walpole jRWorroet, wliilo Monies-1 k quieU,jMWB^HFvei y dihtant from the (uitli. other things, must be underon comuioii-seuse principles ; for, though there be multitudes of mad people j in the world, soci ty generally is not to be j put upon the regime of "Uedlam." We live, not by what we eat, but by what we digest; and what ono man may ' *- digest, another would di-j of attempting. I'ules on this subject are almost useless. | lllach man may soon learn the powers of his j ftomach, in health or disease, in this ivspcet; | and this ascertained, lie has no inoro busi- , . lietss to bring on indigestion than he has to j get intoxicated ur fall into debt. lie who offends on tlie^e three points, deserves to forfeit stomach, head, and his electoral franchise! Generally speaking, fat and spices resist the digestive power ; and too much nutritions food is the next evil to too little. Good j cookery, by developing flavor, increases the ! nutritiousness of food, which bad cookeiy ! would perhaps render indigestible. Hence, ! a good cook rises to the dignity of 'artist.'' j 1 He may rank with the chemists, if not with j the physicians. Animal food, of mild quality, is more di- j 1 gesttble than vegetable, and fresh meals arc j preferable to salted. In the latter, the tail ; is a different composition from that which is taken at iucals and which is iirdispetisa-. ble to health. Fish fills rather than feeds; but there are exceptions to this. Vegetables are accounted as doing Jit tie to maintain stamina; hut there have been races aod classes of men who have been heroes upon bread, fruit, and vegetables. The poor cannot live upon "curry," it is true ; but in England, with less drink and more vegetable food, they would be nn improved race, i - - - ixoMiianney coukl live 11k?; a Lazaroni, on r macaroni and tiie open air. Laynrd says the Bedouin owes his health and strength to his spare diet. But even a BeJouin swallows lumps of butter till he becomes bilious ; and were he to live in England instead of the desert, he would not keep up his strength by living on the dishes which supported him in Arabia Felix. The golden rule is "moderation and regularity." IIoN who transgresses the rule, will, pay for it by present sutTcrinc a "idiei-k" .*ifi<-r Plni?im:io O v??' .V.'iJMW# A fnl^c hunger ought not to be rooiIkmI, Tior a false thir>t to bo satis-lied ; for satisfaction here is only adding fuel to a fire that would otherwise go'out. On the other / hand, the bilious and sedentary man need not, be afraid of beer ; it is a belter stomachic than wine. For hiuri, and for nil lorils of that heritage of woe, a weak stomach, the common-sense system of cookery, as it is called, is most required. It is something between the hard, crude system of the English, and the juice-extracting method of the French; with a loaning, however, towards the latter, (with whom it is common to ro- 1 . - duc<^fooil to a condition of pulp.) l>nt uniting wllli it so much of tlie English custom as allows the- gelatinous matter to be retained, especially in the meats. "Festina leulc ^ is "Jjaiin de cuisine" for "Eatslowly," and it is of first-rate value. lie who does so, gives best chance for healthy chyle; and ' that wanting, I should like to know where the postprandial enjoyments wouliTbe.

Mordecai Paine, a saddler doing business in North NintIi street, w.w called home from his work-shop on Saturday morning, by a messenger who brought the melanehdlly intelligence that his wife, Barbara, bad taken arsenic fur the purpose of committing suicide, and was then at the point of death, lie hastened to her bedside, and found her in more agony ol muul than body. Site declared that there was something on her mind which she wished to confess to him before her departure, with the hope of obtaining his forgiveness. Mr. Pane, with great emotion, desired her to go# on with the disolo^tlje, addirfg that she might be of tiis forgiveness before she had made known her offense. "Ah, Mordeeai," said she, "you remember our large white pitcher was broken some time ago; I pretended to you that the cat broke it, but it was false, for I myself did it." """'Oh, my dear,'' said Mr. Pane, "don't concern yourself about snrli a trifle. 1 had forgotten the pitcher, ami it matters not how il was broken."

"1 could not leave the world with such a thing on my conscience," replied the fair penitent. "Goon, 20 on," cried Mr. Pane : 4'1 told that I could forgive von everything at such a time as this." Mrs. 1'.. resumed : "You remember our boarder. Simeon Drake, who ran up a bill f<?r six weeks, and then went olF in a hurry without paying a r?*nt. lie and I^had agreed to elope together ; but he changed his mind at the last moment, :ind ran away without me." "Fire and fury ! du you dare to tell me this?" cried Mordecai, in great excitement. ' But as you are dying, I won't reproach you. I'll leave you now to settle the af hiii- with your own eon*cienre." '"Slay and hi?ar one tiling more," cried the ivpciitant Barbara. "The dose I took Lliis morning was intended for you. I put it into your ?*ofl?e, but in my liurry to g<:l the tiling done, I gave you the wrong cup and took the right one myself. -The devel l!y away witli you, yon jade ?" roared Mordeeai, as lie flung himself out of the room. In the entry be met the apothecary who bad sold Mrs. P. the fatal powder. This medical tnau bad heard of the commo lion al Paine's house, and su>pccting the cause of it, lie came to administer hope and comfort to llio afflicted. "Don't bo alarmed, Mr. Pa lie," said lie ' the drug I sold your wife was nothing but magnesia. I judged that she wished lu destroy herself, and i tricked her in this way to save her life." *'Vou swindling rascal," shouted Pane, "how dare you cheat a customer in thai shameful manner, and obtain lier money on false pretence ! Begone J" And with this exclamation he violently, ejected the astonished apothecary from hi& front door.
