Young as I am, I quit The stage"
DIED yesterday morning, after a a fitful
and verv lonely existence of eight months,
The New York CNIoN."- an innocent
brought into this c"W'l world by the office
holders of federal government, and bv
those who at the time OF its birth were, are
now, and ever will be, Office seekers.
Sicklv Mt its birth, ITS earliest nursing was
confidcd with great humanity, to an emil
nent practitioner, skilled in all the lore
both of Hebrew and Gentle Doctors, and
familiar with the political pharmacopia of
the Cnned States and the Barbarv powers.
But all would not do. The little patient
grew worse every dav. Doctors from
Washington were called in, who with one
accord pronounced the disease to be sheer
hunger. PAP was therefore administered
at first in liberal, and afterwards in the most
enormous quantities. Yet to no good pur-
pose. The more it devoured the more it
wanted, and what was very remarkable in
this extraordinary case, the more it swallow.
ed the poorer it grew. ....,...... u, .,
Dr.. Upshur, Dr.. Spencer, Dr.. Forward
DR.. Tyler, Dr.. Wickliffe-nay, all the Gov
eminent practitioners were incessant in
their labors, and a very large number of
their clerks were engaged night and dav in
the preparation of PAP, all of which was
gulped down as fast as it came. amid cries
for more. AT the end of about five months
the Rahbin first employed gave up the case
as hopeless, since hich time the little help
less thing has continued from day to day,
an object of wonder and commiseration-ot
wonder that SO small a being could hold SO
much PAP, and of commsoration at lis suf-
terings nevertheless, acute, mortal! Who
were its latest nurses we have never been
so happy as to know. Their practice. how.
ever was the same-PAP. PAP, PAP. On pap
it has lived, and on pap il has died too fee
bic during its whole existence to inhict a
scratch upon the face of its attendants.-
Yesterday morning it breathed its last and
as in life il never had a friend, SO in death
there is none to drop tear. IN. ........ a....
ARREST OF DIsTING UIsHED FoRGER. Our
readers will remember, no doubt, that in
January last the name of Simeon Draper, j.,
Auclloneer, Of the corner Of William and
Pine streets, New York was forged 10 three
several checks, to the amount Of $500, on
the Manhattan Bank, and the money obtain
ed, and genteel looking man named Nor.
riIl arrested and held to bail to answer as u
principal in the transaction. From testimo-
ny discovered subsequently, TO the arrest OF
Morrill,. there was probable cause at least to
believe that another gen.eelly dressed man,
named Franklin S. Byrne, was deeply con-
cerncd in the forgery, and efforts remade
to arrest him without effect, as he became
aware Of the intention of the officers, and
clndng their utmost vigilance, fled from
New York. ..,...'tr l.'.,

On DRINKING AT MEALS 1t is injurious to
drink much at meals. Those who take a
large quantity of liquids at dinner, generally
eat more than those who take less. The SEN
sa'ion ofthrst depends upon the quantity of
aqueous fluid circulating in the blood. 1t
has been found by psychologists that the
most severe thirst of animals is appeased by
injecting watery fluids into the blood. A mo-
derate quantity of liquid should be taken at
dinner too large portion acts injuriously
by diluting the gastric juice. Persons whose
diet is more animal than Vegetable. require
more liquid during their meals. Drinking
before meal is pernicious, whilst by drink
ing during meal the digestive process is
promoted. Those who eat fast require more
drink than do others; for. as DR.. Philips saws,
