Water, besides serving The purpose OF dllu-

and medium by which other substances are
kept in solution and conveyed from one part oil
The body 10 another, has also numenirlal pro-

If drank, is speedily absorbed by the veins, aud

food is introduced by the way OF the lacteals.
We have we'll authenticated cases OF persons
who have lived for length Of time entirely alb
stinenl from all customary alment, and whose
only drink was water. In the transactions OF
the Albany Institute" for 1880, DIR. McNaugh-
ION relates the case of man by the name OF
Reuben Kelsey, who lived on water alone Tor
fifty-imee days. For the first six weeks he
walked out every day, and sometimes spent a
great par, of the day in The woods Ills walk
was steady and firm, and his friends even re-
marked that his step had unusual elasticity
He shaved himself until about week before
his death, and was able TO sit up in his bed to

A Beautiful fragment.

To enter this world without welcome
to leave il without in adeu--to suffer.
aud be unequal 10 your sulIerings-tos stand
sad silent monument amid the Joys Of
others, which you cannot understand and
conceive OTTO carry within your bosom
the buried seeds of happiness which are
never TO grow-of intelligence which is
never to burst forth-of usefulness which
is never to germinate-to find even your
presence affective, whether you excite
compassion or horror-a whole existence
without one cheering sound-wi,hout one
welcome accent without one exhilerating
thought-without one recollection Of the
past--wthout one hope of the future
Oh what a cloud of wretchedness covers,
surrounds and overwhelms such a deplo-
rable victim Of sorrow
Now to throw over such benighted
being the sweet rays of intelligence-to
open the intellect, and let gush forth in
streams oflight and joy-,o arouse the af-
fections, that they may know and love
God, the givor of all things, who is NOR
cilul in all his chaStisements-to enlighten
the soul, that it may see its origin and
destlny-to cause them 10 smile, though
they cannot speak-ihe eye to glisten with
other emotions than those of sorrow-and
the mind to understand, although il cannot
hear.-Oh. what beautiful supplement TO
the beneyoence of Heaven How sweet
and soul-cheerng is the truth OF heaven.
