are by no means in healthy state In order 10 see the full effects of the habits above ailn- ded to, 1t is necessary to look at cases in
 winch they have been carried to an excessive degree. In npopuious towns there are oppor- tunitles of observing these effects on an extcn- siVe scale. The labouring classes, who are in general firm, robust men from the country. consume enormous quantities of beer, porter, and spirits, besides double the quantity of animal food the health requires. It is among these people that we see attacks of inAamatory disorders of the most violent kind. Such injuries which in others would be unimpOrtant, produce in them severe in hamation, the nature of which is always Obsti- nate and in it's termination frequently fatal. They live in fact on the brink of disease the slightest accident often carries them off, and if they escape casualties, their habits of living lead to a variety of diseases and premature dissolution; the majority not surviving the age of fifty.-Med.

From the Trenton Emporium. THE MEMORY OF FRIENDSHIP.

THE MEMORY OF FRIENDSHIP. Amid the deepest shades of gloom,
 That brood OCT life's decline, A vision rises from the tomb
 Lost friendship it is thine !- Thou comest like pilgrim grey. But light is round thy misty way,
 The light of early love When life was fresh and hope was high, And rainbows spahn'd the cloudless sky, And music filled the grove. 1t was joyous season. Mirth
 Fill'd up the laughing hours o then we never thought that earth
 Could nourish aught but flowers ARd oft when, in the still profound, We gaz'd upon the mountains round,
 Or trod the valley green Or mingled in the giddy rout, Till the far rocks sent back the shout,
 We deem that life had been, From ages past, a fairy dream
 OfunalIoy'd delight Der which young joys meridian beam
 Each day threw rays more bright. 1t was the summers calm-the bloom That clothes the flowers ere tempests come; The pause-when far and still, The cradled storm is lulPd to rest, And on the verdant valleys breast
 The dews their balm distil Once-'twas day as beautiful
 As ever knew the eastern cline, When flowers invited maids to cuI
 Them in their glorious prime l cast long ing, lingering look On the still vale and winding brook,
 And saw the laughing band Of merry school-mates gathering To the accustom'd sportive ring
 All sniling-hand in hand. My heart was light even then-I left
 My boyhOod's pleasant dome Nor knew till far, of friends bereft,
 How dear is home-sweet home But it was pleasant still, in dreams, To visit my own native streams-
 To join the good and gay To think how from the worlds rude blast should escape, and fly at last
 To home--to frienGs---for aye, Life had its troubles-I was worn
 With pain aud toll and care; MislOrtunes came-hut they were borne, And hope repelld dspar- At length the chain was broken-and sought once more my native land--
 My own sweet valley rangd- Its meads and brooks were still the same Twas to my home-my home-I came,
 But oh that home had chang'd! That gladsome band was scatter'd-gone-
 Over the worlds wide waste trimm'd our household fire alone, #
 The church yard had the rest stood upon the school-house green The place deserted long had been
 And, as weary pilgrim wends, He knows not whither-day by day, rov'd a-down life's dreary way,
 My all the memory of friends. -I D.

!Sheridan's Greek.-Lord Be!grave having clenched a speech in the House of Commons with Greek quotation, Sheridan, in reply, admitted the force of the quotation as far as it went, "but'' said he "had the Noble Lord proceeded little farther, and completed the passage, he would have seen that it applied the other way" Sheridan then spouted something, ore rOtundo, which had all the ais, ous, kon, and kous, that give the world assu- rance of Greek quotation; upon which Lord BeIgrave very promptly and handsome ly compimented the Hon. Member on his readiness of recollection, and frankly admit ted that the continuation of the passage had the tendency ascribed to it by Sheridan, and that he had overlooked it at the moment when he gave his quotation. On the break ing up of the House, Fox, piqued himself on having some Greek, went up to Sheridan and asked him, Sheridan, how came you to be so ready with. that passage it certainly is as you say, but was not aware of it before you quoted it." It is unnecessary to observe, that there was no Greek Gt QU in Sheridan's inn promptu!
 Panthers killed.-A Monticello, N. Y. date of 29th Dec. says:
 "TwO Partners, one measuring nine feet from the nose to the tip of the tail, the other smaller. were killed a short time since in the town of Bethel, about seven miles from this village, by MT. Nelson Crocker. They were two out of drove of nine, probably emigrating from our woods to a warmer eli mate. One of the remaining seven was bad ly wounded, but not so much so as to be ta- ken. Our hunters have pursued them, and will give good account of them.

I4itchfeld, Jan. II, 1897.

The following lines were written by the Hon. Henry St. George Tucker, of Virginia, on being requested to know why he had ceas- ed to court the poetic muse. Days of my youth, ye have gIided away, Hairs of my youth, ye are frosted and gray, Eyes ofmy youth, your keen sight is no more, Checks of my youth, ye are furrow'd all OCT, Strength of my youth. all your vgour is gone, Thoughts of my youth, your gay visions are

Free Living.-One of the most common causes of all violent disorders, is that which is popularly termed fullness of the vessels, or technically, plethoric condition of the sys- tenn, arising from errors in diet; from excess or imprudent indulgence in the quality or quantity of food and drink The indulgences produce and keep up an unnatural excitement,
 under whick accidental circumstances now
 readily occasion disease of an acute and infia-
 matory character. They also affect the or gans of digestion, which arc possessed of all
 most unive ersal sympathy, and by furnishing an excessive quantity of new supplies, over load the vascular system, bringing it into a
 state in which local disease may be very easi-
 ly produced; and instead of furnishing healthy
 nourishment, convey the seeds of disease over the whole body. Individuals are not aware of the tendency of the habits in which they daily indulge, until disease manifests itself in 1 various parts of the body. In the first instance too pIethoric condition is eVinced by in crease is bulk, and Aorid, or rather healthy appearance but if we investigate the matter l more closely. we shall find that such persons
