FRUIT AS AN ARTICLE OF FooD.-Were
we of the South, to cultivate and use fruit
more as standard article of food, instead
Of eating it Unfortunately between
meals, we should be healthier people.
We consume too much meat at our meals,
neglecting the fruits which benefcent
Providence has blessed us with. Were
we to breakfast on milk or coffe, with figs
and nutmeg or christina melons, dine on
such meats as the taste or purse will per-
init, with vegetables to match, and des.
sert Of watermelon, grapes, apples. pears,
peaches, &C., and sup on cup Of arc.
matte tea, with strawberries and cream,
we might dispense with the pastry cook
and the doctor, provided we would eat no
fruit between meals. 1t is not little as.
tonishing, that with the immense amount
of fruit produced at the South, it does not
diminish the consumption OF meat and
bread. There is no doub, but that the
summers Of the South would be the health
lest portion Of the year, were we only to
use fruit, as necessary article of food.
When we say fruit, we do not mean the
trash that stands for weeks on the truck.
s;er's stalls Of the cities; but that which
spicked fresh, every morning, from our
own vines and trees. Most Of our fruits
abound in sugar, which is nourishing cool
ing and healthy, whilst the meats consum-
ed, abound in oil, which is heating, stimu-
lating, and predisposing to fevers. Some
Of the healthiest people in the world live
inthe tropical regions, whose breakfast
consists Of oranges, pine-apples, figs or
bananas-dinner of melons and raisins-
supper of dried fruits, with tea or coffee.
They have learned to adapt their food to
the climate and the wise provisions Of
Providence, and when we do the the same,
we shall be healthier people.-Sol Of

The Targcdian Booth and the
Bible.

A friends tells us an anecdote Of Booth
the great tragedian, which we do not re-
collect having seen in print. 1t oscured
in the ra!my days OF his fame, before the
sparkle of his great mind had been dim

drink:
Booth and several friends had been in
vited TO dine, with an old gentleman in
Baltimore, Of distinguished kindness, ur-
baniiy and piety. The host. though dis
approving Of theatres and theatre going.
had heard so much of Booths remarkable
powers, that curiosity to see the man had
in this instance. overcome all his scruples
and ejudices.-After the entertainment
was over, lamps lighted, and the company
reseated in the drawing.room, some one
requested Booth. as particular favor, and
one whicha ali present would doubtless APP
preciate, to read aloud the Lold's Prayer.
Booth expressed his willingness to afford
them this qualification, and all eyes We're
turned expectantly upon him.
Booth rose sowly and revently from his
chair. II was wonderful to watch the play
ofemolions that conyulsed his countenance.
He became dea,hly pale, and his eyes
turned trembling upward, were wet with
tears. Asyet he had not spoken. The
silence could be felt. 1t became absolute.

Not voice was heard or a muscle moved
in his wrapt audience, until from a remote
corner of the room, a subdued sob was
heard, and the old gentleman, their host
stepped forward with streaming eyes and

So great was the effect produced, (says
