Our playhouse was burnt down, some time ago,
Without insurance. Twas famous blaze,
Fine fun for fremen, but dull sport for plays.

Such wARAI RECEPTION never met before
IT was &woful night for us and ours,
Worse than dry weather to the fields and flow

Happy as surgeons in the Tappan sea;
The morning-like the dove from Noah's ark,
As homeless, houseless, innocent as she.
But--tflanks to those who ever have been

so love the puhlick interest-when their own !;
Thanks to the men of talent aud Of trade,

Comes out clean-scour,d and brighter than the

Looks wisertha when young, and twice-as big;
As NJ. Van Beurer in the Senate Hall
Repairs the loss we met in Sanford's fall;
As the new Constitution will we're told,

So is our new house better than lis brother;
It's roof is painted yaIlower than the other;
1t is insur'd at three per cent. 'gainst fire,
And cost three times as much, and is six inch

And a new splendid carpet of green baize,
So that there nougbt remains to bid us reach

Whether for morals, charity, or eating;
A speech, the modern mode of winning hearts,
And power, and fame, in politicks and arts.

being the same, I drew flannel sleeve
over one of them next to the skin, and
wore it six weeks, in the months of July
and August: on Withdrawing the sleeve,
the difference in the appearance OF the
two arms was remarkable--the skin OF
the arm that had been env eloped in fan
mel, was pale, Aaccid and papillour, some
what resembling the skin of picked
fowl,* the muscles were softer, and less
| elastic than those of the other arm, which
was in every respect of healthy APP
pearance. On removing the flannel, the
flesh in few days recovered its natural
appearance.
The result of the above experiment,
gives only miniature view OF the ema-
ciating effect Of flannel, worn in contact
with the whole body for in this case be-
sides the primary effect it has has on the
skin itself, and the superficial muscles,
it has secondary effect, on the vitals;
especially on the stomach and lungs by
sympathy. The sympathy existing be-
tween the skin and those parts, is evinced
by the effect produced on t. EN- from va
rious applications made to the skin. To-
bacco leaves for example, applied to the
skin, affect the stomach SO much as to
produce vomiting; and to stop obstinate
vomiting, laudanum and other anodynes
are frequently applied to the skin over
the region Of the stomach, with the hap
piest effect. To prove the sympathy be-
tween the skin and lungs, IF such thing
is questioned) We need only refer to the
effects of flannel, which being worn next
to the skin, will generally in the course
of twenty hours loosen phlegm in the
lungs, and break cough.f fla RENE
dy has the power to effect such change,
as this in the lungs, it must, if long con-
tinued, without intermission, have the
effect gradually to deteriorate, and at last
to destroy the natural actions of the part,
unless the constitution opposed TO it, be
unusually robust.
l am very firmly of the opinion that
the increased number of deaths from con-
sumption, that we perceive in the lists of
mortality, is owing in great measure,
if not principally, to the abuse of the re-
medy in question.
| From the lists of mortality in seaport
towns, we perceive upou an average, that
about one third of the deaths are from
consumption; and a greater number to
the south than to the north. In former
times the converse of this has been al
ways remarked. Flannel, as remedy,
has been in use about twenty years; and
in winter has encourapId its abuse in
summer.
Almost any constitution may be ruin
ed, from the constant and ill-judged use
of medicines, taken inwardly, and the
same will, almost as certainly, though
more slowly, ensue from the abuse Of
outward remedies.
