From The Public Ledger.
aDIED OF EATING,

Such would be the verdict of coroner's
jury, in but too many cases, if coroner's ju-
ries sat upon all persons, whether dying by
accident or in bed. If, in less fruitful lands
people often die by famine, here we die Of
too much eating. In New England, il is pies
and sweet cake that kill; in the Middle
States it is a surfeit of good beef in the
South it is another Thing liz the West, still
another; everywhere it is too much eating
The evil would be less if we were a more
active people. II may seem strange TO ac-
cuse Americans of want OF activity; but
while they give the brains plenty to do, or
one sci of muscles, they neglect everything
else. The lawyer sticks TO his desk, the
minister to his study, the shoPkeeper 10 his
counter, the merchant TO his store. They
eat and work, but take no recreation. They
reduce themselves 10 mere money making
machines. They 60 one unvaIied round,
like horsesin a mill. 1t is wonderful, lhal
while living like hermits, yet gorgng like
fox-h hunters, they gradually lay the seeds Of
diseases, varying accordingly TO The profes.
sious they follow, ye, all originating in over
feeding, combined with neglect of exercise
1t is strange that they die oil too much cal.
ing?
The season has come when thousands oI
citizens go out Of town. Their osleuslble
object is the benefit of their health ye,
many will come back, in consequence oil
eXcesses, far worse than they went. For
tunately, in this age, excess in drinking is
less common than formerly, especially a.
mong those classes who are in The habit oil
annually going out of town; but the cognale
vice of excessive ealing, if anything, is on
the increase. Gentlemen devour incredible
amounts of oysters, eat lobster salad 10 g
miracle, indulge in terrapin without stint
IN word, over task their digestive organs
in every way, and thea express surprise .ha
that they have headaches, feel dull or are
laid up with positive Sickness. Ladies sur
felt themselves on pastry and cake; lake nc
exercise, except a bath, aud not always ever
that; and then wonder why the sea shore
the springs or the mountains do moi agree
with them, while they are gully Of TOO muct
eating.

In DEBT AND OUT OF DEBT.

OF what hideous progeny of i'll is debt the
father! What meanness, what invasion of
sel-respect, what cares, what trouble! How
in due season, it will carve the frank open
face into wrinkles; how, like knife, it will
stab tine honest heart How it has been
known 10 change a goodly face into mask
Of brass; how. with the "doomed custom"
of debt, has the man become the callous
trickster! A freedom Of debt and what nour-
ishing sweetness may be found in cold wa.
ter; what toohsomeness in dry crust; what
ambrosial nourishment in hard egg. Be sure
of ii, he who dimes out of debt, though his
meal be biscuit and an onion, dimes in
'the Appollo." And then for raiment-what
receipt be in your pocket! what Tyrian pu'-
pie is the faded waistcoat, the vest not owed
for! How glossy the wel-worn hal, il il cov-
or not the aching debtor! Next the home
sweets, the outdoor recreation of the free
man. The slreei.door falls moi knel on his
heart; the foot on the staircase, though he
live Oh the third pair, sends no spasm through
his anatomy; al ,he rap of his coor he can
crow forth, "come in" and his pulse still
| beat heallhfully, his heart no, sink into Ills
bowels. See him abroad. How he returns
look for look with any passenger, how lie
sauniers; how meeting an acquaintance he
stands and gossips?
But then this man knows mol debt that casts
! drug into the richest wine that makes the
food Of the gods unwholesome, indigestible,
lha, sprinkles the banquet of Luculus with
ashes, and drops SCOT into the soup of an Em-
peror; debt that like the moth makes value
less fnrs and velvsts-nclosng the weaver
in fostering prison, (ihe shirt Of Nessus was
shirt moi paid ior;) debt, that writes upon
| Irescoed walls The hand writing Of The allor-
ney, that puts voice of terror in the knock
er; that makes the heart quake at the haunt
ed fireside debt, that invisible demon that
| walks abroad with man, now quickening
his steps, now making him look on all sides
like haunted beast, and now bringing 10 his
face The hue of death as the unconscious pas
senger looks glaucirgly upon him. Poverty
is bitter draught, yet may and sometimes
will be gulped down. Though the drinker
maze wry faces, there may, after all, be
wholesome bitterness in the cup. But debt,
however courteously il be offered, is the cup
oil a syren, and the wine, spiced and delicious
| though il be, is poison. The man out OF debt
though with flaw in his jerkin,sa crack 10
his shoe leather, and hole in his hat, is still
the son Of liberty, free as The single lark a.
| boye him; but the debtor, though clothed in
the utmost bravery, what is he but serf out
| upon holy .day--a slave Ito be reclaimed
at any inslan. by his owner, The credtor.--
My son, if poor, see the wine running spring,
lei thy mouth water at leas, weeks rool,
think thread.bare coat the "only ware" }"
and acknowledge white washed garret the
| finest housing place for gentleman. Do
this, and flee from debt. So shall thy heart
be at peace, and the sheriff is confouuded.
