There is noihIngQew, perhaps, in the

may be used in diet with due regard Cor
health. Few OF our own species have
ever made sugar exclusively their diet,
and we had comparatively but uncertain
evidences as to its effect. The only per.
son to our knowledge, who lived for any
great length OF time on sugar alone, was
the celebrated Bolivar, This great man
had by fatigue and privations, so injured
the tone Of his stomach, that he was una,
BILE at times to take any other food than
sugar which, in his case, was easy Of d..
geslion. We have heard it stated by his
personal friends, tina, in some OF his last
campaigns he would live for weeks to.

pure waters as liquid; but probably in
ninety cases out Of thousand, this diet
would haNe soon brought the person adop-
ting it TO The grave; for although the nu-
tritive powers of sugar are we'll known,
inasmuch as saccharne matter forms one
Of the basis of our sustenance, yet it is
equally true that, with many, the exces'
svc use of sugar brings on indigestion in
its worst forms. Where the digestion is
feeble, excess of nu,rmen,, instead OF
being absorbed generally in the system,
turns TO bile, and causes debility aud
wasting to high degree,
NJ. G. Chosat states that there are 9th
err substances, and milk particularly,
which some cases turn to fat, and this not
always OF he allhy kind, and in others
to bile, attended with diarrhea. 1t would
be we'll # some OF the medical profession
in this country would bear this important
fact in mind. A milk regimen is very

in cases of confirmed dyspepsia, with re-

mach Of the patient. They imagine that
they have accomplished every thing when
they have replaced heavy and Inflam-
mallory diet by milk, and do not reflect
that there are many stomachs which will

quen,ly is either an unhealthy obesity, or
a wasting Of the system by TOO great re-
taxation Of the bowels. VI. G. Chosat's

CAPITAL PuNIsHNENT.-There is much
excitement prevailing in Massachusetts
upon this subject. Petitions have been
received by the Legislature, numerously
signed By the most respectable ladies and
gentlemen. One of the petiti,ons we
give, for its very singular character. II
is said to have produced great sensa-
ton in the House. Ii was headed by the
Rev. CHARLES SeEAR of Boston and 1853
others, ladies' and gentlemen of the first
responsibility, from various parts OF the
commonwealth The Southron.

sets, earnestly entreat you Immediately
to abolish all laws of this Commonwealth,
which require the infliclion oil death as
penalty for crime.
Ii, however, such abolition shall be
deemed by you Inconsistent with the pub
lie welfare, and infringement of the law
of God, then we pray you D.

sheritis may be appointed execuiloners,

chaplain in legislative and military bodies
is too sacred to be conferred, without man.

however celebrated for piety and moral
worth, the learfuliy solemn work of put
ting an end to human life, and ushering
the soul of the criminal into the presence
of lis Judge, should be committed TO mono
other than ordained and consecrated
hands. ...

ship, such as may be selected by the cler-
ical exerulioner, that thus the whole
may witness them; instead
of being confined, as at present, to the
jail yards, where they can be seen but by
a smaller number Of persons, and those
not always of the class most likely TO be
bene6tted by beholding such scene,
This arrangement would seem TO accord
with the example of our fathers, who

To effect this each member is bound un-

from club in the South, where the

WALPoLs's LETTERS.-ln noticing on
Saturday the publication OF a new series
of the Letters of Horace Walpole--wri
ting Astounding in wit, intelligence, and
talent-we publish some few extracts
from those letters applicable to our own
country. The National lnteligencer, in
speaking of these letters, in connection
with Prescott's Conquest of Mexico
abundantly proves tina, Walpole in add
ton to his other talents was largely en-
dowed with the gilt of prophecy. TIL,

Upon the Sow and Pigs!

When down she went with all our hands,

The very place it tells;
Think it says twelve lathoms deep,
Clay bottom, mixed with shells.

They called the dog, they called the cat,
And little kitten, TOO,
And down they put the cod and sauce,

Puss never stood at crimps,
And munched the cod--and little kit
Quite Toasted on the shlimps.
