CONSUMPTION. in late number
OF Nicholas Nickleby, gives the following
description Of this sad disease, which is con-
stantly carrying sorrow and desolation into
thousands OF families in New England.
"There is dread disease, which so pre-
pares its victims, as it were, FOR death; which
so refnes it of its grosser aspect, and throws
around familiar looks, unearrhly indications
Of the coming change,-a dread disease, in
which the struggle between the soul and body
is so gradual, quiet and solemn, and the result
so sure, that day by day, and grain by grain,
the mortal part wastes and withers away, so
that the spirit grows light and sanguine with
its tightening load, and feeling Immortality at
hand, deems il but new term OF mortal life
Ia disease in which death and life are so
strangely blended, that death takes the glow
and hue of life, and life the gaunt and grisly
form Of death-a disease which medicine
never cured, wealth warded off, or poverty
could boast exemption from--which sometimes
moves in giant strides, and sometimes at a
tardy sluggish pace, but slow or quick, is ever
sure and certain.
