Anger Dangerous.

Violent transports of feeling of any
kind sometimes kill, but the short
madness" of wrath, INDUCED with re-
straint. is doubtless the most harmful
and hazardous.
The Emperor Nelva diedof a violent
Excess of anger against A senator who
had offended him. Valentinian, the
first Roman Emperor of that name,
while reproaching with great passion
the deputies from the Quadi, a people
of Germany, burst a blood vessel, and
suddenly fell ~lifeless to the ground.
81 have seen," said TOurtellO, a
French medical writer, "twO women
perish, the n in commissions, at the
end of q hours, and the other Suffoca-
ted in two days, from giving them
selves up to the transports of fury"
The celebrated John Hunter fell a
sudden victim to a parOxysm Of this
passion. Mr.. Hunter, rs is familiar to
medical readers, was a man of extraOr-
binary genus, butt esubject of violent
anger, which, from the defect of early
moral culture, he had not learned to
control. Suffering during his latter
years. under a complaint of the heart,
his existence was i'm constant jeopardy
from ungoyernable temper: and he has
been heard to remark that "his life was
in the hands of any rascal who chose to
annoy him" Engaged one day in an
unpleasant alteration with his col
leagues in the board at st.
Georges Hospital, London, he was 10y
n of them peremptOrily cOntradicted;
he Immediately ceased speaking, hur-
ried into an adjoining room, and instant,
ly fell dead.
We pleasantly remember a good old
man who, like Surgeon Hunter, had for
many years been afflicted with a disOr-
der which made perfect calmneSs ne
cessary to his life. Many Il time we
have heard him say. "'Twont do for me
to get mad" One could not doubt that
the Christian spirit in the aged man
had much to do with his invariable good
humOr, but on the other hand, he was
certainly an example of character beau
titled and softened 10y a warning i'll
trinity.
Many afflicted with notifying weak
ness of a passionate temper have felt
tempted to envy others the physical
weakness that f0rbidS rage under fatal
penalty.
