SATURDAYS READINGS.

l. The following is part Of an ac-
count of the celebrated visit of Queen
Elizabeth to the castle of Leicester, in
Warwick, abridged from an Old work {:
At the the Queens entrance float
ing island was discerned upon the pool,
glittering with torches, on which sat
the lady Of the lake, attended by two
nymphs. Within the base court was
erected a magnificent bridge overwhich
her majestywas to pass. On eachside
stood columns with presents from the
gods. Silvanus offered her cage ofwild
fowl, Pomona different kinds of fruits,
Ceres gave corn, Neptune presented
sea fish, Mars the habiliments of war,
and Phebus all kinds ofmusical instru-
ments.

in those days were expert mythologists.

wisdom and independence. But alas!
those halcvon days we fear have depar-
ted forever, and but few beauties are
now found for alteration and love, but
such as resemble the baked monks OF
St. Bernard. Palpitations of the heart,
from other causes than love; short
breathing without amorous signs; con-
sumptions without colds; ricketty chill
dren without attention, and funerals
without number, are the daily results OF
the prevailing habit Of following the
miiliner's contracted patterns, and bow
ing at the shrine Of fashion. The COOK
braces her waist with leathern strap,

The degree ofill health, andbodily dis

males, solely originating in tight lacing,
is incalculable and still the custom IS
pursued with the most unaccouDtable
pertinacity; but when revolving fashion
and the good sense ofthe most interes'

A GOOD CONSCIENCE.

GOOD CQNSCIENCE.
An elegant and classical writer has
remarked that good conscience is to
the soul, what health is TO the body; it
preserves constant ease and security
within us, and more than countervails
all the calamities and affections which
can befall u.s." 1t is indeed agoni-
zing to any one holding pretensions to
a generous mind for the voice Of ca
lumny to assail his reputation and mis-
represent his best and purest motives;
but he cannot but find every thing con.
solitary in his being conscious that ne
deserved it not. 1t may be often the
case too, that the censures pronoun-
ced on US proceed from those who are
most ignorant, and who are destitute
of the means of forming correct judg-
ment. Some of the ancient Philoso-
pliers, however, have left on record an
admirable mode how to soften down
the detractions of malice, and to cause
the arrows thus levelled at reputa-
ton to fall harmless at our feet.
The dignifed and mild Socrates, al
ter his condemnation observed, that he
regarded truth and not censure, and
therefore felt no trouble at it, "because
he knew himself free from guilt. -
Thus was he SO we'll fortified in his in.
nocence, that the impotence OF evil
tongues passed BY him as the wind,
unexpected. Epictitus remarks, it
man speaks ill Of you, consider *heth-
er it is true; if so, reform, if not his
censures may effect you. F.
Anaximander was told, "that the
very boys laughed at his singing;" his
determination was to learn to sing bet,
ter. Plato was told that he had ene-
mics who daily spoke against him, he
replied st was no matter, will live SO
that none viii believe them"
On another occasion The same Phi
losopher, hearing that one whom he
considered friend had spoke against
him, replied"I am sure he must have
reason for it, or he would not have
done so.
Surely this is the way to disarm re-
proach of its sting, and prepare US fol
the great and only relief against cal
umny-a good concience.

DULL TIMES FOR DOCTORS.


This is the general complaint among
physicians. There is no prevailing
epidemic, and, what is better yet, there
is no prospect Of any. We have lately
been on a tour through the country,
and have taken particular pains to as
certain whether there is any thing like
a prospect of any prevailing disease,
the present season; but there is none.
Thus far, in town and country, there
never has been a.more general period
of health, in the United States, than
since the commencement OF 1925.
The Faculty say it is distressingly heal
thy!
We beg, however, not TO be under
stood that the work Of death has been
suspended. Oh no-people are dying
daily, as at former periods, by nearly
every SORT of i'll but venerable old age.
Men will drink more than is necessary,
notwithstanding the destruction It
makes with their constitutions, and
women cannot he fashionable without
being skewered up in whalchone. The
business Of quenching thirst makes
shocking destruction in the world;
still it is very ungenteel not to conform
to fashion-so many thousands OF new
drunkards are manufactured yearly,
who might otherwise be the first rate
of useful citizens. A medical gentle
man has been prophesying great NOR
tally, not long since, which will be ex-
clusively confined to young ladies. The
first approach Of this alarming malady
may be known by stertorous breathing
after the slightest exercise; sudden
fainting fits at church; pale face;
ard nothing at all like an appetite.
The sanative measures to be adopted
by those who may now be suffering
from the like eRbarrassments, consists
altogether in giving freedom to the res
piratory organs; and this can only be
done by wearing loose fowing dresses,
at the same time their stomachers are
used for heating bath, by 5 o'clock In
the morning.
How the times have changed within
few years There is now nothing
mere pleasant, nor more in vogue,
than TO be in ill health-because it
sounds well, and makes people talk;
so away they go 20 the springs, and
put their ankles out Of joint in waltz
ing, when in fact, at home, it required
a servant to draw their stockings on.
Health and happiness have been at war
ever since the Revolution; if one is sick,
why then there is leisure to enjoy
friends, visit Saratoga; Niagara, Mount
Holyoke, and forty other places. Red
cheeks, sound stomach, and industry,
are poor recommendations in wife
they are so masculine and pray what
is more vulgar; in any thing like a
man, than to hear him positively de-
clare, in the very face and eyes Of we'll
bred people, that he never had the
dyspepsia, when it is all the go! In
