 FaUITs-We are iamiliarly acquainted with the prejudice existing against the free use of our domestic fruits, but much question whether they have ever operated 60 unfavOr- ably as is generally believed. It would be
 quite as philosophical to discard bread st0ffs. the various Iegnmin0ns productions of the gar den. and the meats offered in the market, as to intefdict the rich fruits which nature has
 scattered around us. fla careful register were
 made of all the deaths arising from excess in
 the eating these two species of food, it is quite
 probable as many would be found attrihnted FtO one cause as the other. Eating and drink ing have become altogether tnO artificial prO- pie consult their hooks Ofener tO discover how, when. and what sort Of meal should be
 taken. than they do tO ascertain the state of
 their finances. Life is thus reduced tO an un- gnatural scale, and the capacity of the stomach measured as tide waiter would gaage the dimensions nfa hogshead, instead of following 1 the simple indications of hunger, which makes
 no dangerous mistakes under ordinary cir cHmstances, in well regulated society. There 1 Is a vast difference between 'gorging beyond
 the ability of the stomach fO relieve itself. and
 satisfying the cravings af the appetite. Were
 an indiviiual never guilty of any excesses, he
 would be exempt from the penalty invariably
 imposed on the breach of any law Ofthe ani- maj economy.
 Instead, therefore, Of standing in any fear of general consumption of ripe fruits, we re- gard them as positively conducive to health. l The very maladies commonly assumed t0
 have their origin in a flee use Ot apples. peach es, cherFies. melons, and wild berries, have
 been quite as prevalent, if not equally destruc-
 tive. in seas0ns ofscarciiy. All naturalists will testify t0 the importance of the fruit sea son to the lower animals, particularly to birds.
 When there is a failure, or an insufficient sup
 ply, the fsathered tribes are less musical, less l numerous, and commence their migrations
 much earlier, than when amply supplied with the delicate nutrition designed for them at cer- tain periods of the evolving year. a,gfS&4i | In the scheme of created wisdom. the indi-
