Trident Spirits. When ardent spirits
are taken into the stomach they cause If
ri!ation, which is evinced by warmth and
pain experienced in that organ and next
Inflammation of the delicate coats of Ibis
part, and, sometimes, gangrenes. They
act in the same manner as poisons. Be-
sides the local injury they produce, they
act OH the nerves of the stomach which
ruin to the brain; and, if taken in large
quantities, cause insensibility, stupor, r-
regular convulsive action, difficulty of
breathing, profound sleep, and, often, sud-
den death. The habitual use of ardent
spirits causes slow Inflammation of the
stomach and liver, which proceeds sieadi-
ly, but is often undiscovered till too late
for relief.-Lond. Med. e. Sa,rg. Jour.

Female Dgaulters.-Is has been the
practice in the post Office department to
appoint the wives of deceased possmas-
tiers as their successors, in those cases IN
which it was agreeable TO the people,
This practice has been in operation great
many years, and the number OF females
who have thus held office is quite large.
During all this time there has not occur
red a single instance of defalcation among
them. Though it is no compliment to a
person to be honest and faithful, (for this
is matter of duty yet it is especially ho-
norable to be so amid those times and
temptations in which many fall astray.-

the celebrated DIR. Samuel l.. MITCHELL
travelling in the stage and happening to
be the only passenger, was very sociable
with the driver, asking many questions,
some of which the driver considered ra-
Their philosophical, and not little puz-
cling. The knight of the whip, in turn,
put the following question to the learned
doctor: "Why, sir, do white sheep eat
moro than black sheep?" "Indeed," said
the doctor, ~ was not aware that they
did" The doctor was proceeding in a
very philosophical manner to account for
the difference, by supposing the white
sheep had less oil in their heeces than the
black sheep. "You are not right, sir,
said John. "Pray, my friend" said the
doctor, after few moments reflection,
can you tell :" 81 can, sir there are
more Of them"

aged AZ years, wife of j. Hatch, NJ. d., of thi.
place.
Death, to her, had no terrors. An abilinn
sense of her savour's presence, in whom she had
long trusted, cheercd her as she approached the
eternal world.
My heart is full of sorrow,
But cannot mourn for thee;
For know that thou art happy
And from every sorrow free.
Thy suiierings now are over,
And thy earthly labors done;
Thy pilgrimage is ended,
And the victory is won.
The storms of life are over,
Thou hast gained that peaceful shore
Where atiliction, pain, and sorrow
"Will be felt and feared no more"
No sin and no temptation
Ever reaches that abode:
There is never ending pleasure
In the kingdom of our God.
Thou hast left world of sorrow
Thou hast found place of rest,
Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the sorrowful arc best
Thou art with the hosts of heaven,
In their shining robes arraycd,
Where the righteous are rewarded
With a crown that will not fade.
We know that thou art happy,
And we do not mourn thy fate,
But we mourn for the bcreaved ones,
For their hearts are desolatc.
o.! heavily and deeply
On their hearts must fall the blow
That the tender wife and mother
Has so suddenly laid low.
We mourn for the bercavcd ones
For the husband left alone;
The dear companion of his youth,
His chidren's mother gone:
And for the orphan daughters left
Alone life's tide to stem:
The Father of the fathcress
Alone can comfort them. u.
