Eating.

hold. 4 COW eats but to sleep, and
sleeps but to eat; not content with
eating all day long, "twice it lays the
slain." and cats its dinner over again.
A whale swallows ten million of liv-
ing shrimps at draught; a nursing
canary bird eats it, own bulk in a day;
and caterpillar eats five hundred
times its weight before il lies down to
rise butterfly. The mite and the
maggot cat the very world in which
they live; they nestle and build in
their own roast beef; and the hyena,
for want Of better. eats himself. Yet
the maggot has not the govt, and the
whale Is not subject to sciatica, Nor
does Captain Lyon inform us that an
Esquimaux is tronbled with the tooth
ache, dyspepsia, or Mysteries, though
he eats ten pounds of seal. and drinks
a gallon of oil at meal, and though
his meal lasts as long as his meat. But
il eating is to produce diseases, which
