OUR COUNTRY.
BY GEORGE LUNT.


Our country right or wrong,
What manly heart can doubt,
That thus should swell the patriots song,
Thus ring the patriots shout;
Be but the foe arrayed,
And wars wild trumpet blown,
Cold were his heart who has not made
His Country's cause his own!
Though faction rule the halls,
Where nobler thoughts have swayed,
One sacred voice forever calls
The patriots heart and blade;
He, at his country's name,
Feels every pulse beat high,
Wreathes round her glory all his fame;
And loves for her to die!
Where'er her flag unrolled
Woos the saluting breeze,
filings Ger the plain its starry fold,
Or floats on stormy seas;
All dearest things are there,
All that makes life divine
Home, faith, the brave, the true, the fair,
Cling to the flaming sign.
Oh! is this thought dream?
Mo- by the gallant dead
Who sleep by hill, and plain, and stream,
Or deep in oceans bed;
By every sacred name,
BY every glorious song,
BY all we know and love Of fame;
Our Country, right or wrong!

present no phenomenon. -Four Of the
flee senses decide that they are good for
food This is sufficient-eat them
Here are some other berries. They
are beautiful in shape, bright in color
and very attractive. Handle them
they do not feel nice; smell them
they have not pleasant odor taste
them-they are very disagreeable---
Throw them away, they are not good
for food. Your jury Of senses have pro-
nounced upon them. Though all the
advocates and judges of diet in every
college in the world condemn, the for
mer takes them Though they all rec
commend, the latter rejects them.
Now, what says philosophy? BY the
most skillful means of research, she
examines and tests these berries, and
finds, after an age Of learned labor, that
those which please the senses, contain
the elements in the same combination
as they exist in our own bodies where
as, in those berries which our senses
reject, the elements are found to be in
very different combination, and are
therefore poison. One Of the old ada
ges long in use respecting sweetmeats is
the distich> "Taste and try before you
buy"
Apply this philosophic aphorism to
your food as we'll as to your candies,
and you may, if you please, look into
Leibig, Pereira, and Dalton afterward
for confirmation Of your conclusions.
Sense before science.
How do you know whether the meat
at the butchers, or the vegetables and
fruit at the green -grocers are good? Do
you call in some. learned doctor Of diet,
or elaborat0ly test the things by philos-
ophy and science You use your hands,
your eyes, your nose, and your tongue,
and by these you decide This is COM
sense-the use Of this sense is common.
But what Of all the substances which
we thus find to be food, shall we eat
now or at any other time? Is there
any rule for our selection Of food? ? Ono
Of the very surest and safest Of all rules
is this: : Take what you want if you can
get it. This is bounded by your appe-
tite on the one hand, and by your pos
session on the other.
Did you ever hear such monstrous
ignorance and error, as to trust to your
appetite alone for what you should eat?
So exclaims some determined dietary
doctor This doctrine is positively mur-
derous. It ought to be indicted.
Let US see how this dietary doctor
does when he dimes Does he consult
the appearance of his tongue, the state
OF his pulse, and the pathological con-
dition of his stomach? Observe him.
He is set down to one Of those feeds to
which he is occassionly invited, and he
takes Of that which is before him accor-
ding as he likes. The things he selects
by toste-their quantity by appetite.
Imagine yourself longing far beefsteak
and potatoes to recruit your worn limbs
and jaded brain, and you are persuaded
to substitute for them, mush and milk,
tea and toast, or even cakes and coffee,
and how would you feel? If you are
anything like ourselves, very much like
boiled turnip.
IF you want to try how you feel on
medical diet, live on it for couple Of
weeks, and then write an answer to this
article. A. Z. SMITH NJ. d.

"A German at Racine, who said
that be would give $40 every time tor

by the Sheriff who put him in the jail

The Sheriff told him he could come out

CONCLUDED


When an animal or vegetable is in
living state, the elements of which its
particles are composed are in the same
combination as those Of our bodies
When an animal or vegetable is dead,
the elements of which the particles are
composed are in very different combi
nation to those which compose our par
ticles, and cannot be transferred nor as
simulated. They are therefore poison
to US. The living human body when in
health and completeness, contains hair,
skin, bone, sristle, tendon, muscle, mem
brane, (serous and mucous,) fluids, as
blood, (arterial and venous,) serum mu-
Gus the fluids Of secretion and excretion,
gasses, oils, acids, salts, metals and
metalloids. Indeed, a complete and
healthy human being contains every ell
ement of the world in which it exists.
Water composes four-ffths Of our
bodies, ald therefore water abounds in
our food, whether animal or vegetable.
We drink it, we inhale it, and we absorb
it by the skin. We breathe and use
the air for food. as we'll as drink the
water for it. So we live, move, and
breathe in the midst of food. Some
persons have been Of opinion that the
air only furnishes the medium Of respi-
ration, and that no part Of the atmos-
phere is absorbed and assimilated. The
atmosphere is the greatest reservoir of
nitrogen for us, and nitrogen is the base
Of muscle.
Man possesses the faculty of appre-
| ciating the qualities and properties Of
every substance and clement in nature.
He could not do this unless he had some
Of every element in his nature. 1t is a
self evident proposition, that in the men
be the germs of the mental and moral
sciences or he never could develop
them. If musical thought and feeling
were not in our nature, how could the
science and art Of music be educed? If
iron were not part of our composition,
how could we appreciate the properties
and qualities Of iron IF the elements
of the rose were not in our nature, how
could we know the nature of the great
world without, unless we had the ele
ments Of that nature in our own little
world within? IF it be asked, How do
we obtain all these elements, we reply,
by being part Of the great whole. Light
contains the element Of every sort Of
matter, and we are the offspring Of light.
Both man and his food are marvels and
miracles But are there not many things
in nature which are not fit for food ?
And if so, how shall we know them
and avoid them? By our senses.
Look at that lump Of earth. Does it
appear inviting to the hand to feel it !?
Does it attract the nose by its odor, or
the tongue by its taste? You pass it
by unnoticed, and 60 on to that bramble-
bush whose berries, darkening in the
sun, attract you. They are pleasant to
eye, they are smooh to the touch, and
delicious to the taste. To the ear they
