STRANGE CALcULArIoN-ToNs OF MEAT AND
DRINK USED BY ONE MAN-Some genious has
perpetrated the following calculation:
81 have been married 80 years, during which
time have received from the hands my wife three
cups of coffee each day, two in the morning and one
in the night, making about 5000 cups of a half
pint esch, nearly 10 barrels Of thirty gallons edch,
weighing II 500 lbs, nearly nine tons weight.
Yet from that period have scarcely varied in
weight myself from l60 lbs. 1t will therefore be
seen that have drank in coffee alone, 2lS times
my own weight. ! am moi much OF an eater, yet
presume have consumed about eighteen ounces
day, which makes 5,S06 lbs, or ten oxen. Offlour
have consumed in 50 years. about so barrels. For
20 years of this time, drank two wine glasses of
brandy each day. making 900 quarts. The ports
wine, Madeira, whskey punch, SC, am not able
TO count, but they not large. When we take
into account all the vegetables in addition, such as
potatoes, peas, asparagus, Strawberries, cherries;
pears, peaches, raisins, SC, the amount consumed
| by an individual is most enormous. Now my body
has been renewed more than four times in 50 years
and taking it for granted that the water of which
have drank more, acts merely as delutant, yet ia
ken together, concluded that have consumed in
80 years, about the weight Of 100 men of 100 H..

Elizabeth and the victories of Anne. But, in shap-

from the treasury or dimned with the blood of her
people Let hers be the gIoTes peace, ofindustry
OF commerce, and Of genius Of justice made more
accessible OF education made more universal of

kened nations the gores that arise from gratitude
Tor benefits conferred; and the blessing Of loyal
