The Middlebury galaxy. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1848-1850, 1849-01-23
M1DMERI1RY VERMONT, TUESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 3d. 1910

Richmond, son Of the Duchess of Portsmouth.
Charles blessed them all, but spoke with peculiar
tenderness to Richmond. One-face which should
have been there was wanting. The eldest and
best beloved child was an exile and wander
err His name was not once mentioned by his
father.
During the night, Charles earnestly recon-
mcnded the Duchess of Portsmouth and her boy
to the care of James "And do not" he good-na-
turedly added, .'let poor Nelly starye." The
queen sent excuses for her absence by Halifax.
She said that she was too much disordered TO re
sumo her post by the couch, and implored par
don for any offence which she might unwittingly
have given. Ask pardon, poor woman !" cried
Charles Il ask hers with all my heart"
The morning light began to peep through the
windows of Whitehall; and Charles desired the
attendants to pull aside the curtains that he might
have one more look at the day. He remarked
that it was time to wind up a clock which stood
near his bed. These little circumstances were
long remembered, because they proved beyond
dispute that, when he declared himself 4 Roman
Catholic, he in full possession of his faculties
He apologized TO those who had stood around
him all night for the trouble which he had caused.
He had been, he said, most unconscionable time
diving; but he hoped that they would excuse It,
This was the last glimpse of that exquisite urban
itv, so often found potent to charm away he re-
sentiment of Justly inceIsed nation. Soon al
ter dawn the speech of the diving man failed Be-
fore ten his senses were gone. Great numbers
had repaired TO the churches at the hour OF morn
ing service. When the prayer for the king was
read loud groans and sobs showed how deepl!
his people felt for him. AT noon on Friday the
sixth of February he passed away without
struggle.

itudes, where the weather is milder, iari'
naceous food ripens, sheep and cattle are
reared for food, and mixed diet seems
best adapted to man. Accordingly we
find that the Scottish Highlander, subs
sisting on such food, exhibits the best spec
linen of physical organization.
Tn France. statistics show that the con-
sumption of beef, as all article OF iooo'
is ONLY one-sixth of what 1t is IN England
To proceed still farther south. it appears
that the Torrid Zones are not only poor
Iy adapted to the rearing Of animals TOR
food, but that the inhabitants of these re-
gions are healthy, vigorous, and active,
when living upon rice and other tropical
vegetables, and become sick, when obllg-
ed to live chiefly on animal diet.
From these facts, relative to man, may
we not reason analogically, and apply the
same principles to the feeding OF domes-
tic animals That beets and carrots are
but slightly nutritive-the former possess
ING IA and the latter 10 per cent. only
of nutritious substances too well
known to require mention while corn
contains 20, and beans % per cent. OF nu-
triment, and both are of highly stimu~
Iatinq nature. From hence we judge, that
grain, which is highly stimulating, should
compose, in part, the food of domestic
animals, during the severity Of mld>win-
ter; while roots, which are much less SO,
should be fed in the early and latter part
of winter, when the weather is more tenn
perate, and when the oxygen of the ats
mosphere has ceased TO make SO large
drafts upon the nervous and vital system.
