There is an endless variety of tastes. Mems an
petites differ In every part of the globe: some are
cai""erous' some arc grahiVerous, some are both
some are neither. few wish for the general adon-
tlon OF vegetable diet, and argue that cabbages
and salads produce virtue and goodness others arc
more loudly eloquent in praise of animal food and
hnd patriotism IN round of beef, and valor in n
rump steak. But food has different effects in DIFF
ferent climates The respectable Gentoos live unoo
rice, and are eeminae fools the lower Irish starve
upon potatoes, and are murderous vasabonds.
Nothing is more true than the old pfoverb what
is one mans meat is anohers poison The Turks
chew opium, the Dutch tobacco. The Hamusb;ro
boor loves nothing like fat bacon, and the low
abominaes swine's flesh of every denomnation.
The Esquamaux cpicures mix saw-dust with their
tram oil. The Laplander find nothing so delicious
MS dish of fire bark and reindeer tallow. Some
japanese delight In ragout made of scraped whale
bone. Rotten eggs, in Cochin China, are eaten ne
delicacies South American tribe when denr;vod
OF fish by the inundaons of the Oronoko feed ON
balls OF peculiar nice unctious clay. The quar-
rymen OF hliih9nser spread similarly rich earth
upon their cakes, and eat with the gout of school
boy who puts sugar on his bread aud butter. Sir
John Franklin and his companions, in one of their
arcuc expeditions, made charming repast Of fried
bones and old shoes. The Chinese consider n GER

THE PRISONER FOR DEB
By JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Cast down, great God. the fanes
That, to unhallowed gains,
Round us have risen
Temples whose priesthood pore
Moses and Jesus DER,
Then bolt the poor mans prison
Pierpc
Look on him-through his dungeon-grate,
Feebly and cold the morning light
Comes stealing round him dim and late,
As lift loathed the sight,
Reclining on his strawy bed,
His hand upholds his dropping head
His bloodless cheek is scanned and hard,
Unshorn his gray, neglected beard
And DER his bony fingers flow
His long, dishevelled locks of snow
No grateful fire before him glows,
And yet the Winters breath is chill (:
And DER his hafclad person goes
The frequent ague thrill
Sent-save ever and anon,
A sound, half murmur and half groan,
Forces apart the painful grip
Ofthe old sufferers bearded lip:
o sad and crushing is the fate
Ofold age chained and desolate.
Just God why lies that old man there1
A murderer shares his prison bed,
Whose eyeballs, through his horrid hair,
Clean on him, fierce and red;
And the rude oath and heartlessJeer
Fall ever on his loathing ear,
And, or in wakefulness or sleep,
Nerve, flesh and fibre thrill and creep
Wheneer that ruflian's tossing limb,
Crimson with murder, touches him,
What has that gray-haired prisoner done7
Has murder stained his hands with gorer
Not so; his crimes fouler one:
God made the old man poor,
For this he shares felons cell
The fttest earthly type of Hell;
For ths-the boon for which he poured
His young blood on the invaders sword
And counted light the fearful cost
His blood-gained liberty is lost.
And so, for such place of rest,
Old prisoner, poured thy blood az rain
On Concord's field, and Bunker. crest,
And Saratogas plain1
Look forth, thou man Of many scars.
Through thy dim dungeons iron bars;
1t must be joy, in sooth to see
fon monument upreared to thoe-
Piled granite and prison cell
The land repays thy service well!
Go, ring the bells and fire the guns,
And fling the starry banner out;
Shout Frsedoml' till your Iisping ones
Give back their cradle-shout:
Let boastfil eloquenee declaim
OF honor, liberty and'ame;
Still let the poets strain be heard,
With glory for each second word.
And every thing with breath agree
To praise our glorious lbertyr
But wheu the patriot cannon jars
That prisons cold and gloomy wall
And through its CRATES the stripes and stars
Rise on the wind and fall
Think you that prisoners aged ear
Rejoices in the general cheer'
Think ye his dim and falling eye
Is kindled at your pagcantry1
Sorrowing of SOUL and chained of limb,
What is your carnival to hmr
Down with the iaD that binds him thus!
Unworthy freemen, let it find
No refuge from the witherng curse
OF God and humankind
Open the prisons living tomb,
And usher from its broodng gloom
The victims of your savage code,
TO the free sun and air of God,
Nor longer dare as crime to brand
The Christening of the Almighty's hand.

SPANISH ETIoUEPTE.-Philip the Third was
gravely seated by the ire-side; the fire maker Of
the court, had kindled so great quantity Of wood
that the monarch was nearly suffocated with heat
and has grandeur would not suffer him to rise from
the chair; the domestics could not presume to enter
the apartment, because it against the etiquette
AT length the Marquis dc Poat appeared, and the
hing ordered him to damp the fires but he excus-
ed himself; alleging that he was forbidden by the
etiquette to such function, for which the Duke
Ussnda ought to be called upon, as it was his bus
mess The Duke gone out the fire burnt
hercer; and the King endured it, rather than dero-
gate from his dignity. But his blood was heated to
such degree, that an crysipeIas of the head ap-
peared the next day, which, succeeded by n violent
iever, carried him off in I72I in the 24th year of
his age.
The palace was OH fire; a soldier, who knew the
hings sister was in her apartment, and must ine-
vItably have been consumed in a few moments by
The flames, at the risk of his life, rushed in, and
brought her highness safe in his arms but the
Spanish etiquette was here wofulIy broken into The
loyal soldier was brought to trial as it was imposs-
bile to deny that he had entered her apartment the
Judges condemned him to die The Spanish prin-
cess, however, condescended consideration of the
circumstance, to PARDON the soldier, and very be-
nevoently saved his life
