Great Eaters.

Great eaters never live long. A voraeous
appetite, SO far from being sign Of health,
is a certain indication Of disease. Some dys:
peptcs are always hungry; feel best when
then are eating, but as soon as they have
eaten they endure tolmenls so distressing in
their nature as TO make their unhappy vic
Tins wish for death The appetite of health
is that which inclines to eat moderately,
when eating time comes, and which when
satisfied leaves no unpleasant reminders
Multiudes measure their health by the
amount they can eat; and Of any ten per-
sons, nine are gralifed at an increase Of
weight, as if mere hulk were an index OF
health; when in reality, any excess Of fat
ness is, in proportion, decisive proof Of exist
ing disease, showing that the absolbents of
the system are too weak to discharge their
duty; and the tendency to fatness, to obesity,
increases until existence is burden, and
sudden death closes the history. Particular
inquiry will almost invariably elicit the fact
that fat persons, however rubicund and jolly,
are never well, and ye: they are envied.-
While great eaters never live to an old age,
and a'e never for single day without some
symptom" some feelings sufficiently disa-
greeable to attract the minds attention un,
pleasantly. small eaters, those who eat regu
lary OF plain food, usually have no spare
flesh" are wiry and enduring, and live to an
active old age. Remark kahle exemplifcalions
of these statements are found in the lives Of
the cenlenaIians Of a past age. Gaen, one
Of the most dis'iug ushed physicians among
the ancients, lived very sparingly after the
age of twenty eight, and died in his hundred
and forteth year. Ken,igern who never
tasted spirits or wine, and bad worked hard
all bis life reached lS5 years. Jenkins, a
poor Yorkshire fisherman. who lived on the
coarsest diet, was one hundred and sixty nine
years old when be died. Ola Pratt lived to
hundred and hfy-hree; his diet being
milk, cheese, whey, small beer and coarse
bread The tavorite food of Henry Francis
co, who lived to be one hundred and forty,
was tea, bread and butter and baked apples.
Ephraim Pratt, of Shutesbury, Mass, who
died aged one hundred and seventeen, lived
chiefly on milk and even that in small qnan.
thy; bis son Michael bv similar means, lived
to be l03 years old. Father Gull Melho-
dist clergyman, died last year OF The age o!
one hundred aud five, the main diet Of his
life having been sailed swine's flesh (bacon)
and bread made Of Indian meal. From these
statements, nine general readers out of ten,
will jump at The conclusion that milk is
healthy, as are baked apples and bacon
These conclusions do not legitimalely follow.
The only inference That car be safely drawn
ia from the only fact running through all
these caseslhat plain food and life Of
steady labor tend to a great age. We must
not expect to live long by doing any one
thing which an old man did and omit an
others, but by doing all he did, that is, work
steadily as well as eat mainly particular
diet. Halls Journal of Health.

Apple Champagne.

The following simple'ano cheap process of
making fair imitation of champagne wine
directly from apples, will doubtless be read
with interest by farmers and Others who may
have the necessary material in abundance:
The juice is pressed directly from sound
apples without previoos grinding, because
the brulslng Of the fruit, in short time. dis
colors the Juice, by exposure to the atmos
phere, as to prevent the practical working Of
the process, while the juice pressed from
sound apples is nearly as limpid as water
The Juice runs directly from the press into a
filter consisting Of a suitable box about a
foot deep 10y six inches square filled with a
mixture Of pulverized charcoal and clean
sand and gravel, about half and half. A
thin layer of straw is put into the box before
it is ied with the fillering material and the
bottom of the box is perforated with fine
holes. The juice passes through this filter
into bottles, which should he mmed lately
corked to exclude the atmosphere, which
gives it the appearance of the real cham
Iagne; and our informant, who has used The
process, assures us that the wine, after re.
naming ID the cellar awhile, presents the
action and flavor of the imported article,
with the advantage OF being much more
healthy beverage. while it does not exceed

For the purpose Of improving the finances
of the Asylum a Fair has been opened under
the auspices of the late managets, at Platl's

purpose, call upon prominent citizens for pe-

in most cases with eminent success.
But in one instance, Yesterday, these lady
