THE NEW ETHICS OF EATING

There has been recently established,
1--WE hope permanen, ly y in the city of New
York, "Revicw," conducted by the Rev.
G. s. Hervcy, formerly an orthodox Con
gregationaiSt, now an EpscopaIian minis
ter. We have not seen the work, bu, are
indebted to The New York American for
some specimens of the good principles
which 1t advocates, and the good taste
with which it is Conducted From tina,
paper the l4,h inst we learn that the
second number Of the Review has Just ap
pcarod and that one offs articles is a mos,
humorous and conclusive exposure of what
is called Dje,etc Charlaranry, or the
New Ethics Of Eating from which the
following extracts are glven- Boston Cour.
The World is pcopied by two classes Of
beings, which seem TO b. rs c0gnate aud
necessary 30 each other as male and female
Cha latans and dupes c"ls; by mutual de
pcndencC. There IS tact underSt andlpr,
thar whichever the one invcnls the other
mus, believe. All bills which the former
!
draws, the latter comes forward at once
and hoGors. One is Prospero, the other
his poor slave Caban. The charlatan
tricks himself out in mask, assumes q
deep. hollow voice, and struts upon the
STAGE while the dupe Sis gaping in the
pit, and takes every word that Drops from
rogues mouth for gospel truth and gcnu-
inc philosophy. II would really seem as
| if The the two parties had entered into
solemn compact, that wherever the one
exhibited as charIa,an, the other by an alb
sulu,c necessity, agrees to DO present as
Slmpleton. Let The rogue open shop to
dispense pills, the slmpleton, as soon as he
learns the fact, bleS to the place Of trade.
and. pouring down his pence on the coun-
ter, takes hls box of spec iics, and walks

To have the gospel preached to them.

The houselcss babe Of Bethlehem
These housncss babes hath hither led
To have his gospel preached to them,

These lambs Of thine, and help him stem
