A fcac ,cords 10 Tea DlnkcYs-Remember
we do not ask you to abstain from your favorite
beverage, but would merely venture few re-
marks touching the tendency of the habit you
have acquired. In the first place, then, altho'
tea may sometimes operate as a cordial, by
reason Of its stimulating qualities, its uniform
tendency TO weaken the nerves and debilitate
the whole system, especially when taken very
warm, can never be doubted as the testimony
of eminent physicians puts the matter beyond
question. Many articles of food, while they
nourish the body tend also to impair the health
but it is the distinguishing characteristic of tea,
that although it produces a transient exhilera-
ton of the animal spirits it destroys the health
without affording the smallest degree Of nour-
ishment. Besides, there is nothing in the
taste of it which is really agreeable to the pal
ate. This may not hold true in every particu-
lar instance but in general, people are only
brought to relish it by considerable use. The
fondness which many persons have for tobacco
and opium, two of the most nauseous substan-
ces found in the whole garden of nature, is a
striking proof of this.
The use of strong coffee is likewise more
perncious than tea, and far more injurious to
health as it effects the nerves more sensibly.-
Its effects, to be sure, are not always imme-
diately perceptible, but in time it operates like
moderate poison, which infuses itself into the
blood, and by slow degrees stops up the springs
of life. The expense of these luxures is also
considerable for ones doctors bill generally
increases in proportion to their bills for tea and
coffee-whlle in their children they are nour-
ishing up puny race, unable either to culti
vate the earth or defend their country.

which rendered il absolutely necessary for the
Steamer j. w. Richmond. 10 suspend her trips,
between New York and this city, the Directors
felt themselves in duty to the stockholders
bound to withdraw her from the route. Ii is
true they had pledged themselves 10 run the ].
w. X. at 80 Tor cabin fare, so long as a peper-
Gus and discerning public would sustain them
in their operation. They have now to ac
knowledge with pride and satisfaction, that the
travelling public have thus far more than ex
ceeded their most sanguine expectations con-
sidering the circumstances under which the
j. w. r. has been placed for the last few
monhs.-But owing to the known intention Of
the Transportation Co. to force her from the
route. so freely expressed by running one of their
best boats on each of her regular days, at s, for
Cabin passage, she has not met that patronage
sufficient to remunerate the Company for their
risk and trouble. One object however in with
drawing her from the route, was to make such
arrangements, and put her in such order, as
would most conduce 10 the ease and convex
ience of the travelling public. They have now
the satisfaction Of informing the community
that she will resume her regular trips on Mon
day the 18th inst and they by their exertons
to please. confidently expect liberal share Of
patronage.

Remarkable Escape.-On the passage Of the
Ship Anaxander, from New Orleans to New
York. a young lad about fourteen years,
from naturally frolicksome and mischievous
disposition, became so troublesome in his
pranks, that it was threatened by the Captain
If they were continued, that he would confne
HIM in water cask. Our youngster took no
heed however, aud at his next offence was put
in the cask, which was headed up. leaving
large bung- hole for the admission Of air. That
night the ship encountered violent storm, and
in sudden lurch, the cask containing the boy,
rolled over into the sea. The circumstance
was not noticed by those on board. Fortunate
ly the cask struck bung up, and foated about
thirty hours, when it was thrown upon the
beach Of Cape st. Bias. Here the boy made
desperate efforts to extricate himself from his
prison without success, and in despair gave up
to die. Some cows however, stroIIing on the
beach, were attracted TO the cask, and in walking
around il, one Of the number, it being fly time,
switched her tail into the bung hole, which the
lad grasped with desperate resolution. The
COW beloved and set off for life, and after run
ming some two hundred yards with the cask,
struch it against log on the beach. and knock
ed it as we say, into cock'd hat. The boy thus
providentaly released was discovered by some
fishermen on the Point and taken iHto Apaach-
icola, where small collection being made for
him, he was enabled to proceed North by tho
way of Columbus.-.St. Joseph Times.
