and persuasion, prevailed upon them to
endeavor to mitigate his sUtferings, and to
let the poor wretch die in peace, as the
injuries which he had already sustained
were sufficient Of themselves to occasion
death. At first they hesitated; but after
consulting some time among themselves,
they consented to 60 to the other side of
the island, where they would be secure
from observation, and unite him and put
something over him. When we had
reached that place, we lay upon our oars,
and set him loose; but the moment he felt
the fresh breeze, he tainted away. When
our time was expired, we again tied him
as before, to prevent the fury of the cap
tain for our lenity, and once more pulled
tor the passage on our way to the vessel.
On our arrival, his appearance was the
source of merriment to all on board, and
the captain asked ifhe had made any con-
tesslon. An answer in the negative gave
him evident disappointment, and he in
quired Of me whether | could cure him.
| told him he was dying. 'Then he shall
have more of it before he dies, cried the
monster, and directed the boat to be
moored within musket-shot in the bay
This having been done, he ordered six of
the crew to fire at him. The man fell,
and the boat was ordered alongside. The
poor wretch had only tainted; and when
they perceived that he breathed, pig of
iron was fastened round his neck, and he
was thrown into the sea. Thus ended |
a tragedy which, for the miseries inflicted |
On the victim, and for the wanton and
oarbarous depravity of his fend-like tor
mentors, never, perhaps, had its equal.

ly, the eminent writer on the brain, says,
in late clinical lecture on that frightful
and formidable nalady, softening of the
brain, Il would caution you, as students,
from excuses in the use of tobacco and
smoking, and l would advise you to disa-
buse your patients minds of the idea that
it is harmless. have had large expe-
rience of brain disease, and am satisfied
now that smokingis most noxious habit.
| know of no other one cause that tends
as much to bring on functional disease,
and through this, in the end, to lead to
organic diseases of the brain, as excessive
use of tobacco.

Oysters.

The first oyster faster is tboughtto to have
been bold man. This is said in igno-
rance of the legend which assigns the first
act of eating oysters to very natural
cause; and few are aware that we are in.
debted to one Of our most singular habits
for this great luxury.
tits related that man walking one day
BY the sea-shore, picked up one of these
savory blvalves, just as he was in the act
ofgaping. Observingtheextreme smooth
ness of the interior of the shell, be inserted
his fingers between them that he might
feel their shining surface, when suddenly
they closed upon the exploring digit with
a sensation less pleasurable than he anti
cipated. The prompt withdrawal of his
finger was scarcely more natural move
ment than its transfer to his mouth. 1t is
not very clear why people when they hurt
their fingers put them in their mouths, but
1t Is very certain that they do; and in this
case, the result was most fortunate. The
owner Of the finger tasted oyster juice for
the first time, rs the Chinaman in Elias
essay having burnt his finger, first tasted
The SAVIOR was delicious, he
had made great discovery, SO he picked
up the oyster, forced open the shells,
upon their contents, and soon
brought oyster eating into fashion; it has
never gone, and is never likely to go out.
