which desire briefly To notice, more on account Of
its Ironical and snccring illusions to thu " Hbcraty,

he has not yet learned the real object and necessity

that by way Of Nncty-six is the nearest route from

RUSSIA AND AMEErCA.-George Sanders, es1
the rejected United States Consul ut London
received lately, it is said, Il letter from dislin
guished Russian diplomatist, inimaling thai
England and France will soon become united RI
walls 10 the United States, and urging the latter
to join Russia against those two powers The
writer makes an adrot appeal TO the commercial
jeaousies of our country, and hints are held out
of the great service which Russia can render the
world by re.cstablishlng Polish independence,
and 10y checking the supremacy which England
is rapidly acquiring over other nations. lie also
says;
Russia is the best friend America has at this
moment, and America can help her in the work
Of regeneration. America has money, and Rus
sia Is in want of it; and no doubt Russia will be
glad TO contract debt with America at the rate
of six per cent-not by obtaining cash, but for
cash worth in ships, and the means Of keeping
up the war with those who oppose her. America
can bnid her ships to any extent. large and small,
and American ships can take out Russian seamen
for them, as passengers, and which neither France
nor England can prevent. England would break
with France tomorrow could she 90 back to her
original position with Russia /; but this she must
not be permitted to do. if the world has ruht to
be free She fears America, but she does not
respect her, and trust the people of the United
States are not blind to this fact and they never
had better opportunity than they have at
this moment to teach England to understand her
duty"

PALrITATIoN OF THE HEART CURED by
Soma WATEH.-A lady, about 10 years old,
had suffered Tor twelve years from periodical
attacks of palpitaiion Of the heart, so violent
as to shake the bed on which the patient. lay.
During one attack, feeling thirsty, she ex.
pressed a desire for some soda water. No
soor cr had she swallowed the first draught
whcah her pal ipita'inn left her, aud recnrred no
more until the period ui the next attack. As
snou as it itcommenced she sent for her medical
attendant, and told him what had occurred a
month previousl Y, and requested to be allowed
TO try the same remedy the second time.
lie consented, but wishing to ascertain which
of the ingredients Of the soda water had re.
Iieved the complaint, he gave her a dose of
the citric acid by itself.-,l'iis had no effect.
He then gave her dose of carbonate of soda,
which also failed. lie then mixed the pow.
ders, and gave her some ordinary soda water,
placing his hand at the same time on her heart
The moment she swallowed the first mouthfuI
the pal pilation ceased, aud recurred no more
for tha, time. From that period, whenever
the pal pitaton came on, she coald always
stop it by this simple remedy. 1t appears,
from the experiments made by medica men,
that carbonic acid was the active element in
relieving the complaint, because until the
gas was liberated by the mixture ofciiric acid
and the carhonat of soda, no benefit ac

PURE WATER THE REST DRIHK.-There
is no axiom of health more Just than that
men never have Il true appetite ill they
eat with relish any ordinary food" 1t is
told OF John Bales, who lived to the age OF
one hundred and twenty.cight, that his food
for the most part consisted of brown bread
and cheese, and his drink of water and milk.
lie had buried the town Of Northampton
twenty times over, excepting three or four,
and it is said strong drink killed them all.
Water maniiestly is the natural beverage of
all animals; whole nations as the Mahume.
tans and Hindoos, use it alone us a beverage
and, unlike other drink, it will not safe the
appetite, but the contrary; indeed. it was
observed by llypocrates. above two thousand
gears ago, that water drinkers have usually
keen appettes. 1t is huid that requires no
digestion, for it is unnecessary that it should
undergo any changes; it is the natural men
Strum that hnlds IN solution both what is
essential Tor The healthy functions Of the
body and what has become Il refuse, after
serving its destined office aud intention in
the animal kingdom. Water, therefore,
from its congenial qualities can never much
disturb the system; and when it does, it is
speedily expelled by natural outlets, the skin
and kidneys. 1t is told of Lord Fairfield
so well known for his habits of strict diSci.
plne and watchiulness, that his food was
vegetable, and his drink water, never induy.
ing himself in animal food or v inc. And
Sir John Sinclair, in his work on longevity
SAYS, in his account of Mary ChampbeiI
then aged one hundred and five, that she
preferred pure water to any other drink.
