And time stole wings to speed it.

The Passions and Affections.

The injuries to health by severe intelec-
tual exercises or irregular imagination, are
Of less account than those caused by ILL.,
managed affections and passions.--From
this source many diseases have their origin,
and powerful influence is always exerted on
the bodily health. Some Of the passions
have an exciting and others depressing
influence. the consequences of both being
equally burtful, as thes excitement Of the
former class is followed by corresponding
depression Of the nervous power. Anger,
for instance, when violent, amounting in it.
self almost to paroxysm Of disease, is sue
ceeded by exhaustion, as complete AS would
have been produced by long,contiuued an
noyance without the temporary ebullition
oftemper.-Care, sorrow, envy, avarice, am
bi'ion, and other "harpies Of the SOUL" prey
upon the vitals. TIE fever of speculation,
excited by covetousness is another mental
condition destructive TO health. The same
effect'is produced by private gambling as
by undue commercial speculation. The in.
fluence Of respondent fear, of disappointed
ambition of unrequitted love, and other
painful affections of the soul, is familiary
known. The disorders caused by them are
more heartfu! to the body, and more. hard
to be cured, than corporeal exertion, because
the latter are removed by sleep and rest,
which the former repel rather than Invite.
Tho most important functions of the body
are disordered, whep the passions have
undue'control. Digestion and nutrition
are first deranged, and if sleep is disturbed
as we'll as diet disordered, the vigor Of the
heart is diminished, the nerves enfeebled,
and the restorative processes Of the frame
1obstructed. With the decay of bodily
health the mental disorder increases, the
two mutually acting and sfeacting on each
other, till health is seriously injured. The
|immsdiate operation of the various passions
band affections differ mucb., but the general
effect on the constitution is the samsa .in
most cases. Excess, or. irregularity even,
Of 1heagreeable affections Of the SOUL, may
be detrimental to- health. Violenoe Of Joy
