Animal and Vegetable Food.

II is amusing TO hear a nervous female,
whose daily exercise consists in going up
and down stairs two or three times a day,
and shopping once week, complain that
she cannot preserve her strength unless she
eats freely of some kind Of meat, and takes
twice daily her rotations Of strong coffee, to
say nothing of porter or wine sangaree.-
The same opinion prevails among all classes
Of our community A child lin the arms)
cannot, il is thought, thrive, unless il have
a leg Of chicken or piece Of bacon in its
fist 10 suck; boy or girl going to school
must be gorged with the most substantial
alment at dinner, and perhaps little less at
breakfast and supper. The child is crying
and screaming every hour in the day, and
has, after a while, commissions, or obstinate
diseases of the skin, or dropsy of the BRAIN
The little parsonage going to school com
plaas of head ache, is fretfu and unhappy,
and becomes pale and feeble. The poor
books are now blamed for the fault of the
dishes, and the school is given up. The
doctor is next consulted on the best means
ofrestoring strength TO the dear creature
that has lost his appetite, and can eat moth
ing but little cake or custard, or at most
some fat broth. Should he tell the fond
mother the unpalatable truth, and desire her
TO suspend the system of stuffing and allow
her child. for sole food, little bread and
milk, diluted with water, and daily exercise
in the open air, she will be heard exclaim-
ing in tone Of mingled establishment and
reproach, why, doctor would you starve
my child = For the information of all such
misguided persons, we would beg leave TO
state that the large majority of mankind do
not eat any animal food, or so sparingly,
and at such long intervals, that it cannot be
said 10 form their nourishment. Millions in
Asia are sustained by rice alone, with per-
haps little vegetable oil for seasoning. In
Italy, and southern Europe generally, bread
made Of wheat or Indian corn, with lettuce
and the like, naked with oil, constitutes the
food Of the most robust part Of its popula-
ton. The Lazzaroni Of Naples, with forms
so active and finely proportional, cannot
even calculate on this much; coarse bread
and potatoes are their chief reliance-their
drink Of luxury is a glass of iced water,
slightly acidulated. Thousands, we might
say millions, Of Irish see neither meat or
| fish from one weeks end to another; pota-
toes and oat meal are their articles Of food
If milk can be added, it is thought lux
ury; yet where shall we find more healthy
and robust population, or one more enduring
of bodily fatigue, and exhibiting more men,
tai vivacity What contrast between
these people, and the inhabitants of the ex-
IRENE north, the timid Laplanders, Esqui-
Inaux, Saimoideans, &C., whose food is al
mcst entirely animal

should not be allowed one look--one last
look-before they took him away and shut
him up forever7
Being made to understand, after time,
the necessity in such cases Of immediate
burial, she suffered the men to depart with
out farther remonstrance; but within the
next half hour she had quietly borrowed a
screw driver-shut herself into the room
Withdrawn every screw in the coffin lid
and gazed. Oh, who shall say with what
bitterness Of feeling upon the face with
in then fastening the lid down again, re-
manned tranquil, nay almost happy, in the
thought that her hand was the last that had
been laid upon his brow--her eye the very
last that had rested upon his features
After the funeral, when the few vauables
belonging 10 the deceased were collected to-
gether, she was asked whether she would
not wish 10 keep something in remembrance
Of him; and was told that she might take for
that purpose anything she pleased.
May Il-sure, then I'll take this, laying
her hand eagerly upon it. 1t was an old
handkerchief, soled and rumpled, which the
young man had worn around his neck dur
ing the last hours of his illness, and which,
in the hustle and confusion, had been left on
the bed just where it had been thrown after
the death.
The friends urged her to make another
choice, mo, she would have that, and on
ly that.
! They asked her TO take something in adj
dition, at all events something Of more val
ne.
NO, no-nothing but that--she wanted
nothing more
One gentleman pointed out the possible
danger of her selection, and warned her at
least not 10 hold it so near her person.
Bot by this time the poor girl had become
impatient at the opposition Its mine no,c
sure, sure may do what like with my
own
And with the words, the handkerchief
was drawn tightly round her throat, and the
two ends thrust deep within her bosom; and
one who stood nearest her could hear the
almost whispered words, He did me moth
ing but good in life and I'm sure he won't
hurt me now
1t is unnecessary TO say with what feelings
the relatives looked upon her when they
heard of her devotion to the lost son and
brother she was Immediately offered home
among them, but it was gratefully declined +;
her duty was accomplished, and she prefer
red returning to the lowly and selfdenying
course of life in which her lot was cast.-N

MOfTat's Vegetable Life Pills
and Phoenix Bitters.

A PURELY vegetable and most mildly yet
IN efIectually operating medicine. is now ful-
y established upon the highest station IN pub,
lie estimation, by the sure ordeal oil universal
experience. The most respectable and scien-
tifc members of the medical profession who
have witnessed their prompt and astonishing
power in the most difficult and frightful cases
of scrofula and other destructive maladies that
can be found recorded in the annals of medical
science, have been compelled to surrender their
preiudices and have freely awarded to these
VEGErABLE LIFE MEDICINES the testimony
of their warm and full appreciation, in letters
now in the proprietor's possession. In add
ton to these, he has thousands OF certificates
from persons whom they have cured OF the
most obstinate and distressing bilious and hU-
err comp laints, jaundice, costtUeaess, piles,
rheumatism, erysipelGs, sigellings, ulcers, salt
rheum, leprosy, Uhsightly eruPtions Of me
skin. and fottlness of complexion, pains in the
head. side. back, limbs, organs and joints, fever
and ague, Intermittent and remittant teUers,
rheumatic colds and coughs, snciptent con-
SYMPTOMS, nervous and general debility, vast
ing away OF the flesh and loss Of appetite,
night s,oeats, gntgard fever, and dyspepsia,
with its frightul train Of suferngs. These
certificates all contain the names and residen-
ces of the writers, who, with the exception Of
some medical men, are the persons cured, and
whose testimony, therefore, can neither be de-
MED nor doubted. AS family medicines, indie
pendantly of their astonishing specific efficacy
IN remarkable and unusual cases, they cannot
be too highly recommended or too universally
kept on hand. No medicines at present known
have done so much good to mankind as these,
within the last few years; and certainly none
have been rewarded with more numerous and
authentic testimonials Of their invariable and
extensive efficacy. Prepared and sold, whole

A MARRIAGE PoRTIoN.-Allow me TO in
troduce simple story; though not new,
nevertheless interesting in its results. On
the margin of sunny Lake, lived farmer;
his shaded cottage was an object of pleasure
to the mariner of our island sea, and the trav-
eler could not refrain his commentator, as
he passed the well titled fields, rendered more
attractive by the pervading spirit of neatness
and order. A wife, with two daughters,
shared the labors and pleasures Of the farm
er. One hundred acres were the extent oil
the farm, and the farmers capital was lit
tie more than honesty, industry, and health.
| need not paint the family circle in its de-
voton to sacred duties, nor its daily toil-the
results will carry to every heart view OF
the path pursued. His eldest daughter mar
ried, and to her he gave one third of his
farm, as her marriage portion. Notwith-
standing this diminution of acres, he has
had the same quantity of products as former
ly. In due time his youngest daughter
married also, and he gave her one half of
what remained-and still the produce of his
farm was not diminished The secret was
easily discovered-he applied as much labor
and attention TO the remaining one third
part as he had been accustomed to give to
the first one hundred acres. Do you ask
how this rule applies to any of US? Let me
explain. We divide our labor over too
many acres TO afford sufficient culture to
each; and we neglect the aid of science
which teaches us to concentrate the various
means within our control, and their eco
nomical and appropriate application.

THE MAN WITH TIE INDIA RUBBsR PAN
TALooNs.-The following amusing para
graph is from late number ofthe Cincinna-
ii Enquirer -
There is something peculiarly pleasant
and agreeable in the sensation one feels on
putting on pair of India Rubber pants
They yield so readily to every motion of the
body and legs, and they are so cool that you
feel almost as if your extremties were denu-
ded. Those who have seen them must
have remarked the tenacity with which they
attempt to shrink into the smallest possible
compass, looking for all the world only large
enough for boy three years old, but when
tried, they easily accommodate themselves
to common sized men. Going up Main
street, few days ago, we observed man
with pair of the articles on. By some ac-
cident one Of the straps broke and the leg of
his pants commenced crawling up, until it
had assembled above the knee, in spite of all
his efforts to keep it down. His situation
was decidedly unpleasant, besides being pic
turesque, as he did not happen TO have on
any drawers, and the mirth Of the bystand-
ers at his misbap, exhibited itself in the
loudest shouts Of laughter. He took the
first shute in the shape of an alley close by,
and that was the last seen of him. We have
ever since entertained the impression that
India Rubber pants were dangerous and
rather Notifying things in the street, or in
ball room, particularly if the straps gave
way.

MAN INDICTED FOR BURNING HIS House,
on complaint Of has OUn children! What
rifm will de- We learn from the Charles
town Aurora, that an unfortunate and dis
iressing case came before the Court at Con-
cord, last week, from the town of Wayand,
IN Middlesex county. A man was indicted
Tor burning hts house, on the complaint of
his own children, some of whom appeared
in Court to testify against him. 1t appear
ed that ne had been respectable man and
had brought up family Of children as well
as any other parent in the country, but
Rum had wrought its accursed effect upon
him, destroying the peace and comfort of
his family, and alternating the affections of
his children. While under the influence of
liquor, he had threatened to burn the house,
and said that he would as soon 90 TO Gaol
as not; but The crime, however could not be
made ont against him, and he was acquitted.
The chimney was proved to be defective, and
the fire was probably accidental but it was
affecting to see family, which but for the
effects of rum, might have been highly re-
spectacle and happy, thus broken up and
estranged, and the mans own children abso-
lutely endeavoring 10 send their aged parent
to the State Prison That rumshould thus
debase human nature and destroy the natu-
raj affections between the children and the
parent

LOrraine's Pills.

HNHESE Pills are now acknowledged by
n thousands that use them daily, TO be the
only medicine that fairly takes the BANNER
from all others. They cause no pain or unea
siness Of any kind in their operation, and re-
quire neither change of diet nor care of any
kind. This medicine has actually done Won
ders. II has established a reputation unrivall-
ed, on its own merits, without being pulled up
continually in the papers.
The attention Of the reader is respectfully
called to the following highly respectable noti-
ces of this invaluable and Incompatible med-
cine--and it will be seen its achievements are
most extraordinary, as daily experience speaks
more and more remarkable cures, where other
medicine had entirely failed Of giving even re-
lief -

New INVENTION Wonderful Engine.-A
London paper says that "a wonderful engine
has lately been constructed by Professor Rein
gale, who IS securing patents in every civilized
country. of the earth. The power, which is
self-produced in the engine, is obtained from
condensed air, which though easily manageable
begets an immense force; the present engine,
which stands on space not exceeing two feet
square, having power equal to five hundred
and sixty-eight horses. For pumping water
out of mines, il is gravely proposed to use 10,
600 OF 10000 horse power, in order to do the
work promptly. II is stated that, with the
present small engine, two hundred and twenty
tons can be propelled at the rate oftwenty-fve
to thirty miles per hour. The description of
the action Of the machine is very vague, but il
is said that several very eminent and scientific
men have examined il and expressed their as
constituent. Professor Faraday having seen
the drawing and heard the theory and practice
of this invention explained, complimented the
inventor by declaring, that he had discovered
perpetual motion Of the most terrific descrip-
ton.

The independent Frens,sry.

We are glad to see our democratic exchanges
again urging the adoption Of the Independent
Treasury system at the earliest practicable Pc
Iripd, The government must be separated from
the banks,and have the keeping offs own funds.
We had enough of the Bank Deposito system
long ago. We hope President Polk, as VIC have
mo doubt he will, strongly recommend the plan
in his first message, and that it will ho promptly
taken up by Congress, and carried through. We
wanted the thing adopted under Mr.. Van Buren's
administration the "Sub Treasury with legs,
claws, and all, as the Ghig papers used to have
Iit--and care not whothera word OF syllable is al

Yes! They may add the "seyen heads and

lcicnt book, into the bargain; all that will not
I''lrght us from our propriety." The Democratic
party have escaped from their leading strings
nursery tales and ghost stories have long since
ceased to huve any terror for them. There is
one amendment which we should like TO see ad-
ded 10 the Sub-Trcasury bill; and that is, the
privilege of receiving money on depositc and
giving certificate therefor, which certificate
could be transmitted to any distant city, the same
as draft or blll of exchange. Let this be done
and we should hear no more about the necessity
ofa United States Bank to oqualise the exchan-
ges. Il would be analogous to the power now
conferred upon Post Masters, against which no
one oblects.--U. S. Journal
