Our lean friends may be pleased to read the
following extract from Milengen's Curiositiei
Of Medical Experience.
"various expedients, in addition TO better
diet, have been resorted to, to restore lean per-
sons to better case; but amongst the most
singular we have on record, is that Of fiagella-
ton. Galen says, that horse dealers have been
observed to fatten horses for sale, by forging
them, an analogous method might be useful
with spare persons who wish TO become stout
er. He also mentions slaye-deaiers who EN-
ployed similar means. Suetoniu informs us
that Musa, the favorite physician Of Augustus,
used to fiistigate him, not only to cure him Of a
sciatica but TO keep him plump MeibomiuB
pretends that nurses whip little children to fat
ten them, that they may appear healthy and
chubby to their mothers. No doubt but hagel-
the surface and may thus tend to increase the
circulation and thus give tone to parts which
would otherwise be languid. With thisinten-
ton, urticatio, or whipping with nettles, has
been frequently used in medical purposes with
great advantage. Xenophon thawed his ffoz-
en- soldiers by fagellatlon." Ills
We should like to know how long 1t would
take to make Sir John Falstaff of Calvin Edison
by whipping. But let us hear DIR. Millengen
discourse on examples Of leanness.
ga remarkable case Of leanness is mention
ed by Lory, in priest who became SO thin and
dry in all his articulations that at least he was
unable to go through the celebration Of mass,
as his joints and spine would crack in SO loud
and strange manner, at every genuhexion,
that the faithful were terrified and the faithless
laughed. One of these miserable laths once
undertook long journey to consult a learned
physician on his sad case; and having begged
to know, in most piteous tone, tie cause Of
his desiccation, was favored with the following
luminous answer: Sir, there is predisposi-
tion in your constitution to keep you so. An
other meagre patient being told that the cele-
brated Hunter had fatteneda dog by removing
his spleen, exclaimed with deep sigh, 20, sir,
wish Mr.. Hunter had mine."

AN UNCoLoURED ACCOUNT OF CoLoURED
DuEL.-A duel between two darkies-a regu-
lar built affair, conducted according to the
most strict and punctillious provisions of the
code of honor, came off one morning last
week. The fight took place with pistols, of
the most approved fashion, at sunrise, on
a small branch of the Metairc road. We
do not know what the origin of the difficulty
was, except that one ofthe parties, to use the
phrase of one ofthe spectators, "was acrossed
in lub by de oder, and dat him hona must hab
satisfacshus." ~
We have learned, from one who was present
at the combat, the partculars as they trans
pred. They were substantially as follows:
After having taken their stands, one of the
seconds noticed that owing to their positions,
the sunbeams set his principal a-winking and
rolling his eyes. This was sufficient ground
for interfering, and he called out to the other
second, with

shun. It's agin de rules OBJ all de codes oh

"Yes, knows you did; but den fair Plays.

| composed upon, and lose allde advantage"
"Well, nigga, Use ITO notion too; Use JUS
| as good right to hab no notion as you is, and
'sists on settlIn' de matter Just as we is
and 10
AT this juncture friendly cloud settled the
matter at once, by stepping in between the sun
and the belfgerents. The two first causes
again took their positions, and, all the prelim-
naries being settled, eachSone took his pistol,
ready cooked, from his second. Both manifes-
ted tolerable degree of spunk, although a
blush paleness spread itself over their black
cheeks. The second who was to give out the
fatal order which might send them out Of this
world, now took his ground. Raising his
voice he begtn--
/ Gentlemen, you time am cum"
you ready? Fiah! one, two, tree"
! Bang, pop, went both pistols at once, ore
ball raising dust in the middle Of the road;
while the other took "slantindickular'' course
in among the bystanders, fortunatelyswithou
hitting any one. a-,.i Ss,s
| 1t was now time to lnterpose, and one of their
seconds set himself about it. After little
conversation, the challenged darky stepped
forward and said to his antagonist M
"Nigga, is you satisfed?' n,
i 81 is"
$50 is !, and I'se glad to get offsc. Next
time dey catches dis nigga out on sich a fool
ish exhibition as dis, dey'll hab to fatclf me,
dat dcy will, for sar,in." g,s
! "Dem's my sentiments ezackly," retortod
the other. "When de onmortal instrument OBJ
def went off, | declar' thought wss gone
child; but Use SO happy new; gosh, let's shake
hands aud go back to our abocations."
In five minutes time, all hands: enemies,
friends, darkies, whites and all: were on the
road home to work; perfectly satisfied with
the sports Of the morning.--.M o. P,cayunc.

They are generally very conceited conse-,

teach him to get up early, and to hiss at every
thing he brushes, rubs, or touchess AS the
leather breeches should be Kept for Sundays,
you must get him a pair of cord'roys and mind

lNcLEDoNs LAST soNa.--The last song le
ever sang was in the kitchen Of the Reindeer,
at Worcester. He had attended the glee.club
held at that house as usual but declined sing
ing, and left the room rather depressed inspi-
rits, and accidentally, in his way out, strolIed
INTO the kitchen, where, recovering his spirits,
and gathering the servants around him, he sang
them, Then farewell, my trim-built wllerrysV
in his most brilliant style; scarcely bad be nm
lshed it, however, when he lapsed into his pre-
vious gloom, Quilted the house, and, not many
days after, died. esf

A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.
A hundred years hence!
What a change will be made,
In politics, morals, 4..' .I..

In statesmen who wrangle
Or ride on the fence t....
How things will be altered
A hundred years hence.
The heads Of the ladies Is.
Such changes may find 81
We do not speak now
- OF mutation of mind-
From three bushel bonnets
To snug little hats,
The scoops, Navarinoes
The Gypsies and flats.
With furs and with rlbbands
With feathers and flowers
Some fashioned by artists,
Some plucked from the bowers,
But heads will be changed too.
In science. and sense,
Before we have numbered tn
A hundred years hence. &
Our laws will be then
Uncompulsory rules
Our prisons be changed
Into national Schools.
The pleasures of vice ..a
Are silly pretence,
And people will know it
A hundred years hence.
All vices will be seen,
When the people awake
To rise out of folly
'Tis all mistake!
The Lawyers and Doctors,
And ministers too;
Will have, am thinking,
But little to do.
Their careful attention
They then may bestow;
On raising potatoes
Or turnips you know,
Or any employment
They choose to commence,
For arts will be many
A hundred years hence.
And you and !, reader
Where shall we be found?
Can any one tell,
When that time will come round;
In transport of pleasure,
Or sorrow intense?
Well know more about it,
A hundred years hence.
