Constipation or Gostiveness.

No one of the many ills flesh is heir to- is so prevalent. so little understood and so much neg ected as Costiveness. Often originating in care essness, or sedentary habits; it is regarded as slight disorder of too little consequence to excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and companion of many of the most fatal and dangc- rous diseases, and unless early eradicated it will bring the sufferer to untimey grave. Among the lighter evils of which costiyencss is the usual attendant are Headache, Colic, Rheumatism Foul Breath, Plies and others of n like nature, while u long train of trightfu diseases such as Malignant tevers, Abcesses, Dysentary, Diarrhoa, Dyspep- sia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Palal, sis, Hysteria, fly poehondriasis Melancholy and Insanity, first indi- cate their presence in the system by this alarming symptom Not unfrequently the diseases name1 originate in Constipation, but take an independ- ent existence unless the cause is eradcated in an early stage. From all these considerations it iol- lows that the disorder should receive immediate attention whenever it occuis, and no person should neglect to get box of Cephalc Pills on the first appearance of the complaint, their tinnl1IalnG will expcl the insiduous approachs1

A STAGE-sTRU HIBERNIAN.-A son of the Elm erald Isle, who had previously been imbibing Us quebaugh, visited the Theatre a few evenings since He became much excited during the play, (which was Camille) and with his body, head, arms, feet and heart (or every Irishman has the latter arti- cle fully developed,) followed the actors through their various parts, manifestng his approba- tion and dsapprobation of the different actors by mods, braves, encores and groans. When the cur tain fell he began to entertain some of his neigh bors with Il criticism on the play, and becoming more and more excited, he exclaimed, $ this is the way it ought to be done," and rising to his feet in the midst of the audience he gave them his idea o the stage business belonging to the character of Armand. His gesticulaton was fine, at least so the audience thought for the thunders of applause which greeted his pantomimic representation was perfectly deafening. Our Irish friend perceiving he had made hit, bowed gracefully, and retired with an air, which would have well become the elder Booth It would be hardly necessary for us to say that We saw our Irishman to his home, where we left him endeavoring to strike the B from an i'm agined " Borga" over his front door.
