 wEich he made on the effects of in,emper. ] ance. upon different persons, he ,hicks the.
 following results clearly established. Those.
 wh" drink cider. wine, perry, brandy, and ci- ter brandy, present red, blotched and highly lnAamed surfaces. Those who drink gin be- come pale and d-hlitated. Those who drink rum show medium aspect. Hence he inlprs that, although alcohol is always the same. there is something combin-d with it which gives different character te its effects; that alcoholic liquors. from succulent fruits. such as grapes. apples. pears, and peaches, have a tendency towards the surface; that the juice rom the farinace0us seeds. as wheat, rye, S''"s ""tS "Uu cause recession Ot me fluid towards the hear. and that when alcOs h"l is derived from the hcrbage of plants, as the stalk of the sugar cane, it's effects are of the medium kind.-Orocle of Health.

He deprives himself fOf the neces- saries of life he fancics himself to be ind:- gent, and trembles with the apprehension that he may becorne still more SD by accident. He is even poorer than the beggar who sub. ssts upon aims. During his whole fife he has seen nothing but rent-rols, and deeds and mortgages.
