 CRIME AND CONSEQUENCE 
 
 '•The way of transgressors is hard." 
 
 The following production was put into my hands by a 
 Genlleman or Gcorgeiown. The writer kept a Schrol 
 not farfrotn that place, and was kiiown to some ol the 
 present Inhabilams. In a fit of despondency, brou;,'ht 
 on by drunkenness, he committed au'cide, by hun.'jing 
 himself 10 a tree in an adjoining wood, after leaving 
 ihe following note in his desk: — 
 
 " Afy conduct of Uitc. has hcen so bad, that I am 
 nshamcl to mcel mortal, more; I may lie found near Mor 
 hij'fi place, dead, as I hope to be. Faiewcll .' Heavens 
 bless you, and pardon me." 
 
 The Aiilhor wrote the lines following — which wiH 
 he found m the Pueni — and are very exiMcssive of his 
 tragic end — 
 
 " III meet the fate, to which nrj fully hurried, 
 Dieas a fool, and be by strangers buried."

 We arrived liure snfo the iiiiddlo of .\ugtist.

 be excellent lor whoftt, and all sorts o;i^raiii 
 and herbage. There are many orchards, which 
 produce very good apples, ami other fruils; 
 gooseberries, currents and sttaubcrries seem 
 to be natives of the Isln, as they are met every- 
 where in abundance. Governor I*alter.si)n and 
 his family arrived a few days after us; 1 have 
 seen him several times; ho seems j;ood natiirod, 
 and fit to Htrngglo with the dillicullies that 
 must attend tho settlement of such an infant 
 colony. 
 
 A man-of-war, called the IMormaid, touch- 
 ed here; the Captain has gut a lino Lot of 
 20,000 acres, which has the good remains of a 
 village upon it, withachurch; it was called 
 Prim by the French, but he intends to name 
 it IJelfast, alter a village in Ireland, ( men- 
 tion this circiimstaniio, as I landed on the .--pot, 
 and ate son)0 excellent fruits of his orchard, 
 which thou«5h overgrown wilh weeds, ])roducc 
 plenty, and there appear to be si.x or seven 
 Jiuiidrcd acres of clear land belonging to it: 
 The soil IS very deep in many places of the 
 Island, and must produce hemp and lla.x, but 
 nil looks forlorn, for want of cultivation ; how- 
 ever, the Island must soon wear a new face, 
 if the Proprietors do their duty. There are 
 about three-hundred Settlers come from Eng- 
 land and Scotland this summer; ihoso from 
 Scotland brought a Presbyterian Parson with 
 them, a very good sort ol a man. People that 
 come hither from Europe, should set out in 
 April, to have the summer before them, to 
 provide houses and stock for the winter, which 
 is now beginning to set in. 
 
 The Island is upwards of 100 iniles long, 
 and about oOor 10 broad, with many fine rivers 
 that intersect tho whijlo, and must make car- 
 riage easy. Hero I am told are no fogs, 
 as on the Continent, which is a good circum- 
 stance. I wish other people were animated 
 wilh the same spirit for Scltlumciits that lam; 
 il'lhnt were the case, I thinli ihis Island, in a 
 lery few years, would make a great figure in 
 the exports of corn, fish, pork, &.c. but am afraid 
 It will bo kept back by people at homo, «ho 
 liavo gut grants without intention of sellling 
 the lands. I am in treaty for half a lot, or 10- 
 ( 00 acres, and expect to get it cheaper than 
 ill had purchased in London. I now act wilh 
 my eyes open, kiiowiiij; the situation and ipia- 
 
 lity of th(- lands to be goo,!. Wc can iiavc 
 cattle, pigs, .sheep, and good stock from tho 
 Continent, at very easy Ivrms; tlnsc v/ho bring 
 outco.Trse wonlltMix, and other goods 111 for thi=i 
 climate, and an infant colony, must inidie groat 
 profit on them. I would not have peoplo 
 come wiihout some small property, or a know- 
 ledge of husliandry. lishcry, building, Smith's- 
 work, iie. Idle fdks will not do here. Fish, 
 is in ama/.ing plenty all round the Island; tho 
 cod lislii.-ry must be very valuable in time, but 
 my schema you know is farminir.

 The horizontal Sun, like an orb of iriollrti 
 gold, casts " a dim religious light" iipnn the 
 surpliccd \Voild; the beams lellected fmni 
 the da/./.liiig snow, fall upon the piir|)lo iiiij-ts, 
 which extuiids round the luarlh like a zone, and 
 in the midst tiie planet appears a fixed slud, 
 surpassing the ruby in brilliancy. 
 
 Now trees and shrubs are borno d I'vn with 
 sparkling congelations, and the coral clusters 
 of the hawlhorn an<l holly, are more splendid, 
 and oiler a ccdd cuiiscrvo tn the waiulciing 
 school-boy. 'J'he Huntsman is ieen riding to 
 covert in his scarlet livery, tlie gunner is heard 
 at intervals in tho uplands, and the courser 
 comes galloping down the liill-sido with his 
 hounds in full chase before him. The farmer's 
 boy, who is forced from his warm bed to imik 
 cows in a cold meadow, complains it's a "bui n • 
 ing" siiaiiie that he slinnld be obliged to go 
 starving by himself, while " their wench" lia.s 
 nothing else to do but make a fire and bod 
 tho tea-kettle. Now, iMrs. Jeramy Helklack, 
 properly so called, inasmuch as the unmention- 
 ahles are amongst her peculiar allributes, wak- 
 ed by the Mail-coach horn, sounding an Inlroit 
 to the day, ordeis her husband, poor fellow, to 
 just get uj) and loid; what sort of a morning 
 it is; and he i;liivering at the bare idco. a!- 
 fccts to be fast asleep, till a second suiiiin ms, 
 accoiTi[)ar.ied by tho heavy contact of ids wile's 
 heavy band, oblii;es him to paddle acr.i^s the 
 cold plaster floor; and the trees and (hitreli- 
 steeples, stars, spears and saws, w liich form ati 
 eleirant tapestry over the windows, seem to iin- 
 thorize the excuse that he " can't see, ' whi'o 
 shivering- over the dressie;;- table, he jioiir.- a 
 stream of visible breath on the (Vo/.cn iianc. 
 
 After breakfast, Dicky, '-uiih siii;nipr

 his way to school, with his Latin griiiiiniar in 
 one hand and a slice of bread and bii.u i in the 
 other, to cither of which ho ( ays bis cle\nM>-,

 finds it '' so nation cold," tliat he \a quite un- 
 ulilcd to learn tlic tvro first lines of his lesson, 
 and he pl-iys at "cocks and dollars" with Jim 
 Slack III a corner. The Waster stands before 
 the fire, like the Colossus of Rhodes, all the 
 morning, to the utter discomfiture of the boya 
 who grumble at the monopoly, and secretly tell 
 one another that they pay for the fire and 
 oiiyht to have the benefit of it. At length ho 
 savH, " you mayj,") boys," whereupon ensues 
 s.ich a paticriug of feet, shuttin/i: of boxes, and 
 Kciamblin^r for hats, as beats Milton's " busy 
 liuin ofiiiL'n" all to iiolhing, till they reach their 
 wonted slide in the yard, where they suddenly 
 Btop on discovering that " that skinny old crea- 
 ture. Bet Fifty the cook" has bestrewed it from 
 end to end with sand and cinders, frost strick- 
 en as it were, they stare at one another, and 
 look unutterable things at the aforesaid " skin- 
 ny old creature; till Jack Turbulent, ring-lead- 
 er-general of all the riots and rebellions, exc- 
 •■rates ' old Hetty cook,' w ith the fluency of a 
 parlour boarder, and hurls a well wrought 
 snow-ball at the Gorgon, who turns round^in 
 a passion to discover the delinquent, when her 
 pattens, unused to such quick rotatory motion, 
 slip from under her feet, and down topples slie| 
 to Iho delight of the urchins around her, who 
 drown her threats and cries in reiterated bursts 
 ol laughter. 
 
 Now, the Comet stage coach, boaling- alon"- 
 tlio russet-coloured roau, with a long train ("f 
 vapour from the horses' nostrils, looks really 
 like a comet. At the same time, Lubin, who 
 lias been sent to town by his Mistress wiih a 
 I'tter for the post ollice, and a strict injunction 
 to return .speedily, finds it impossible to pass the 
 lilacksmilii's shop where the bright sparks fly 
 liom the for.;o; and he determines, just to 
 stop and look at the bhix.n 'abii', which as he 
 Fays, 'raly does one's eyes good of a winter's 
 morning,' and then ho just blows the bellows 
 abii, and finds it so plensant to listen to the 
 •strokes of Vulcan's wit, and iiis sledgc-haniinor 
 allernalely, that he continues blowing up the

 occupied the same surface. While these are 
 describing innumerable circles, the sliding fra- 
 ternity in another part form parallel lines; each 
 of each class, vies with each other in feats of 
 activity, all enjoy the cxhillirating pastime, and 
 every face is illumined with cheerfulness, the 
 philosophic skater, big with theory convinced 
 as he tells every one h» meets, that the whole 
 art consists in merely in transferring the centre 
 of gravity from one foot to the other, boldly 
 essays a demonstration, and instantly transfers 
 it from both, so as to honor the frozen element 
 with a sudden salute from that part of the bodv 
 which usually gravitates on a chair; and the 
 wits compliment him on the superior know- 
 ledge by which he has broken the ice, and the 
 little lads run to sec 'what a big star the gen- 
 tleman has made, and think it must have hurt 
 him 'al)ove a- bit.' 
 
 IheditFerent canals are now frozen over, 
 and goods are conveyed by the stage waggon, 
 and 'it's a capital time for the turnpike3;^°and 
 those who can get brandy, drink it, and those 
 who can't drink ale; and those who arc unable 
 to procure cither, do much better without them. 
 And now Ladies have red noses, and tho 
 robin with his little head turned knowingly on 
 one side, presents his burning breast at the 
 parlour window, and seems to crave a dinner 
 from the noontids breakfast. In such a day, 
 the 'Son and Heir' of the gentleman retired 
 from business, bedizens the drawing-room, 
 with heavy loads of prickly evergreen; and 
 bronze candle bearers, porcelain figures, and 
 elegant chimney ornaments, look like prince 
 Malcolm's soldiers at I?iirnliam wood, or cho- 
 rister boys on a holy Thursday: and his 'Ma' 
 nearly falls into hvsierics on discovering the 
 miscliief; and his 'I»a' begins to scold him for 
 being so naughty; and the budding wit aski 
 as he runs out of the room, 'why, don't you 
 know that these are the holy-days? and his 
 Father relates the astonishing instance of 
 of early genius at every club, card party, or 
 vestry meeting for a month to come. Now all 
 the pumps are frozen, old men tumble down 
 on the flags, and ladies 'look blue' at their 
 lovers. Nov\,the merry growing bacchanal 
 begins to thaw himself with frequ-nl potations 
 of wine; bo.rle after bottle is sacrifice. I to the 
 heallli of his various friends, though Ins own 
 health i.i sacrificed in the ceremony; and the 
 glass that quads ' tho prosperity of llie Hritihh 
 constitution,' ruins his own. And now dandies

 Esquimaux Indians; and the fashionables of 
 the fair sex in white veils and swnnsdown

 FiouRATivr. Ar.iTii.Mmic on Cipiir.Ki.sfi. 
 Fiiitiralin .Irilliiiivlic is the method of count- 
 ing and recording numbers by means of little 
 crooked and straight marks called Fi^-iinn <>, 
 Chardrlcr^. Figurative Arithmetic is as great 
 an iiiiprnvoiiciil upon palpable aiitlimetic, as 
 alphabciic writing is upon the rude method of 
 Hieroglyphics or picture writing. 
 
 'I'hc first nine figures are culled Ihe nine 
 
 si^iiiliriiiit Jiv:ityc^ or di^ilH. 'I'hey are termed 
 
 siiinijicdiil because they .siguify .some number; 
 
 i and they are called di<j;il.^, from the I^utin word 
 
 i d'tixiliia, a linger; becaiiso peo]ile in the oii- 
 
 j gin of .society, used their fingers in counliii;;, 
 
 and these figures are now used instead, so tiiat 
 
 they now are as it were onr digit.s. 
 
 Although the cii)her is said to have no value, 
 that is, no sigullicaiit value, yet it is of essen- 
 tial service in keejiing the other- figures in 
 ihetl^proper places. The word cipher is derived 
 from the Arabic word (//')•, wiiicli means tu 
 "eiininerale." 
 
 In aritlunetical opcraliiins weii.^ethe Arabic 
 characters; and iu numbering chapters and 
 other simple diviiions, wo generally 'iso the 
 itoimin characters. In imitation ol'ihe iincicnl 
 masters of the world, wu use seven dili'erent 
 symbols in expressing numbers by Roman cha- 
 racters. They are letters ofthe alphabet— I 
 represciiliiig a one ; \', represent iiig live; X,' 
 ten; L, lilly; C, ii Inindrrd; Dor Ij, live hun- 
 dred, and .Al or CI3, a thousand. 
 I When any letter is fidlowed by another of 
 ; equal or less value, the expression denotes llio 
 ' sum of their separate values II, twri; CC, two 
 ! luiiidretl ; \'l , six : XII, twelve ; I.XX. 'event v 
 ! When a letter preceded one of greiit^ar the 
 j e.\prcssion denoted the diircrence oftheir sepa- 
 ; rate values, as IV', four; XL, forty; XC, 
 i ninety ;that is, 5 less I ; 50 less 10; loO Icjn 
 I 10. 'I'he utilily of using the Arabic character,

 THE DE'l^IJN OF AM TIIK * P A 11 CVLIPII, 
 
 Two travellers sat down to dine; the ono 
 had five loaves the other throe. A stran;:L'r 
 passiii:;- by, asked leave to eat with them, and 
 they hospitably agreed thereto. After dinnnr 
 tho Btranger laid down eight pieces of money 
 for his fare, and departed. The owner of tho 
 five loavQs took up live pieces, and leftthreo 
 for tho other, who insisted upon getting half 
 The case was brought helbro Ali Ibr his deci- 
 sion, and ho gave the follovr-ing judgment.' — 
 "F,et the owner of the five loaves take seven 
 pieces of money, and the other but one." And 
 this was tho e.Nsct proportion of what each lur- 
 nislicd for the stranger's ontcrtainmoiit, for, di- 
 viding each loaf into three shares the eight 
 loaves gnvn twenty-four .shares; and as tliuy 
 all fared alike, each person's proportion was a 
 third of tho whole, or eight shares. Thu slranir- 
 cr, therefore, ate seven sliarcs of the fivo 
 and only one share of the three loaves, and ^o 
 the Caliph divided the nionny between the 
 owners.

 There was onco a cortain man went to 
 a Dervice and proposed three questions. First 
 ly, why do they say that Ciod la omnipotent, I 
 do not see him in any place, show me where he 
 is? Secondly ,wliy is man punished for crimes, 
 flincc whatever ho does, proceeds from God.' 
 ^lan has no free will, for he cannot do any 
 thing contrary to the will of God, and if he iiad 
 power he would do every thing for his own 
 good. Thirdly, How can God punish Satan in 
 hell fire oince he ia formed of that element, and 
 what impression can fire make on itself. 
 
 The Dervice took up a clod of earth ,and 
 struck him on the head with it, the man went 
 to the Cadi and said, I proposed three ques- 
 tions to such a Dervice, who flung such a clod 
 of earth at me as haa made my head ache, the 
 Cadi having sent for the Dervice , asked why 
 did vou throw a clod of earth at his head? in- 
 stead of answering the ([uestion, the Dervice 
 replied, the clod of earth was an answer to the 
 speech, he says ho has a pain in his head , let 
 him show me where it is, and I will make God 
 visible to him, and why does he exhibit a com- 
 plaint to you against me, whatever I did was 
 the act of God, I did not strike him without the 
 will of God, and what power do I possess, and 
 as he is compounded of earth ,how can he suf- 
 fer pain from that element, the man was con- 
 founded, and the Cadi higlily pleased with the 
 answer. 
 
 The Liai- alarmed. — The Son of an old Far- 
 mer, by some chance or other, had travelled 
 through severol remote countries, and as it is 
 not uncommon in such cases, returning home 
 much richer in lies than in knowledge. A few 
 days after his arrival, he accompanied his Fa- 
 ther (a sensible shrewd old man) to a market 
 some distance from theVillage; it happened 
 that a mastiirdog passed that way, which as 
 soon as the Stripling beheld, "bless mo father" 
 cried he, "this dog puts me in mind of one I saw 
 in my travels, at least as large as the largest 
 oi our cart-horses", what you tell me replies 
 the father gravely, astonishes mo; but don't 
 imagine that in this country, we are wholly 
 without prodigies; by and by we shall come to 
 B bridge, which we shall be obliged to pass, and 
 which is much more extraordinary than the dog 
 of which you have been talking; They say it 
 is the work of a Witch, all I know of it is this, 
 that there is a stone in the middle of it against 
 which one is sure to stumble as he passes on 
 and break at lea«t a leg, if it so happens that 
 one has told a lie in the course of the day. The 
 youth was a little startled at this strangs ac- 
 count. "At wlint a rate you are walking', father ' 
 but to return to this dog, how large did I say ? 
 as your largest horseV Noy for that matter, I 
 believe 1 might be saying a little tuo much ; for 
 I recollect it was but six months old;— but I 
 C 
 
 would bo upon my oath that it wad as big at 
 a heifer. Here the story rested, till they were 
 a mile or two advanced on their way. The 
 young man was very far from being comforta- 
 ble. The fatal bridge appears at a di.s;aiice, 
 'Hear me' my dear father: indued the dog of 
 which I have been speaking, was very large 
 but perhaps not quite so large as a heifer; I am 
 sure however, it was larger than a calf" At 
 length they arrived at the font of the bridge, 
 The father passes on, without a word, the son 
 stops short. —"Ah! fiithoi" says he "you can- 
 not bo such a simpleton us to believe that I have 
 seen a dog of such a size; for einco I must 
 needs speak the truth, the dog I mention in my 
 travels was about as big as the dog we saw 
 an hour ago. 
 
 Inilian sa«;nAhj — An Indian returning homo 
 to his hilt one day, discovered tha' his veni- 
 son, which hud been hung up to dry, had been 
 stolen, and, arter making observation on the 
 spot, ho setofl'in quest of the thief, whom ho 
 tracked through the woods. While thus enga- 
 ged, he met some persons, whom ho asked if 
 they had seen a iilllt old wlvlc man with a shod 
 iXnn .accompanied by a snwll doa; whh a lioh 
 tail! They answered in the allirmative; and on 
 the Indian assuring them that the man thus de- 
 scribed had stolen his venison, they desired 
 to be informed how he was able to give such a 
 minute description of o person ho had never 
 seen. The Indian thus replied: " The thief I 
 know, is a /t/(/e man, by his having made a 
 pile of stones to stand upon, in order to reach 
 the venison from the height I hung it, standing 
 on the ground; that ho is an old man, I know 
 by his short steps, which 1 have traced over 
 the dead leaves in the woods; and that ho is a 
 white Tnan, I know by his turning out his toes 
 when he walks, which an Indian never does, 
 his gun I know to be short, by the mark the 
 muzzle made by rubbing the tree on which it 
 leaned; that his dog is small I know by his 
 tracks;and that he has a hob-iaW, 1 discover- 
 ed by the mark it made in the dust where he 
 was sitting at the time his njastor was taking 
 down the meat. 
 
 The Monk .—From C.'olloquia et Meditationes 
 &C.M. Luther. A Monk who had introduced 
 himself to the bed side of a dying Nobleman, 
 who was at that time in a slate of insensibili- 
 ty, continued crying out, my Lord will you 
 make a grant of such and such a thing to our 
 Monastery: the sick man unabled to speak 
 nodded his head, the Monk turned round to 
 the Son who was standing in the room and 
 said, you nee, Sir, my Lord your Father, gives 
 his consent to my request, iho Son immediately

 siduities of the Monk by sending him with 
 great precipitalion out of the house.

 .Satan to iillliel to iho utl»imot,| that unfortii-

 inunicaled Ihe circiinistiiiictJ to n yoiirg physi-

 to devise some plan which would nt least ex- 
 cite tlio mcrrimeut of the grnvo Aliss llnne-

 character, and was easily induced to enter in- 
 to this wicked crusailo against the pence ef 
 Hachel.

 Rachel was a gii i of tender sensibilities

 to place it in tho precise position necessary 
 for tho successful accomplishment of the 
 work of which it was to "bo iho agniit; but 
 Dr. Calibon and nis titteiing female assistants 
 were not to bo discouraged by a little extra

 siuinncss I On the fitsl inlimation of Ihe realtiy of the 
 i;alainiiy, Iho conscience-smitten donor fled, and the 
 young ladies retired to li.eir chnmhers, in a stale of 
 mind not easily described. Mrs. Ilainswoitli; as it was 
 above intimated, suspected the truth of Ihe matter; and 
 iiowshocallud the servants and directed them to sum- 
 mon the young laJies into her presence. They did not 
 dare reluse.anJ it was nol long before they came trem-

 fell upon their knees in an agony of terror, and made 
 confession of their guilt. "Go immediatciy, " said Mrs.

 bon, " The servant obeyed, and the mistress continued, 
 addressing the young ladies, " you may retire — and 
 slec]i, if you can, " She then ordered ihe servants to 
 remove Racliel to her own apartmeni. The maniac at 
 first refused 10 accompany them, bui Mrs Hainsworih 
 spoke lo her in an auilionlative lone, u.irh did not fail 
 10 render hel perfectly passive. She va.s conveyed 10 
 Jlrs. Hainsworih's apartment, and placed In bed. In 
 the mean time, the servant sent to Dr ralilmn arriycd

 Mrs. Hainsworih went through tht piece with much 
 dillicully: and when she concluded, she buried her 
 lace in her bands; and wept like a child Rachel 
 had lisiened calmly, and sileiilly. until Ihe singer'.', voicx' 
 was hushed. She th n raised her head and spake, 
 wiih more appearance (d rationality than she had done 
 for several days. " How beaulifiil !" said slii>; " how 
 plaintive, nnd yet how sweet! Mrs Hainsworih, 1 shall

 poor unhappy worl.l,— u is full of sorrow and tears; but 
 in yonder heriven there are neiiher sorrows nor tears. 
 I am going hither very soon— something lells me I am. 
 
 Mrs. Hainsworih. I e.xpect lo see you in my Kather'.i

 been very kind to me— O ! yes. yon have been very ve- 
 ry kind, but why will you wrep sol', Mrs.Hninsworth, 
 seeing how greatly her ears allected the siillerer, sirove 
 hard 10 dry them. But she mghl have wepi on. The 
 invalid had uttered her last words- Mrs Hainsworih 
 looked upon her; but she was dead — yet the maniac's 
 smile was uion her lovely counten.ince!

 DI'.ITV iV.M. 
 There was one little Jem, 'tis repiMicd of iiim, 
 
 And must be to his lasting di.siimcc, 
 Thai he never was seen, with hands at all clean, 
 
 Nor yet ever clean wa« hii face. 
 His fricnils were much lnirt, to soe so murh dirt, 
 
 y\nd often ihcy mado him quite clt>a;T, 
 But all was in vain, licj;ot diriy again; 
 
 And not at all tit to be seen. 
 It gave him no jmin, to hear them comp'ain. 
 
 Nor hi.s own dirty clothes to survey, 
 His ii'.d'ilent mind, no pleasnro could lind, 
 
 Li tidy and wholesome array. 
 The idle and bad, like this little lad, 
 
 May love dirty ways to be sure, 
 But -roi>d boys are sren, to be decent and clean, 
 
 Although they are over so poor. 
 
 • V\ORKA\VAY. 
 
 I remember a lesson, which was not thrown away, 
 Learn betimes to be useful, don't lose too much timo in play. 
 
 Work away while youf able. 
 And to Sliced with your labour, make the most of to day. 
 What may hinder you to morrow, 'tis impossible to say, 
 
 Work away while your able. 
 In tho world would you prosjicr, (hen tliis co\inscl obey; 
 Out of debt is out of danger, and your creditors to pay. 
 
 THE CRUSl OF nREAn 
 I mnst not throw upon the floor, the crust I cannot eat: 
 For many little hungry ones, would think it quite a treat. 
 
 My parents labour very hard, to get mo wholesome food, 
 Tiien I ni i5t never wasto a hit, tliat would do others good. 
 For wilful waste makes woeful want, and I may live t» say, 
 Oii! how I wish i had th« bread, that uutc 1 ihry.v away.

 I'm a little husbandman. 
 Work and labour hard I can; 
 I'm U.1 happy all the day. 
 At my work as if 'twere play ; 
 Though I've nothing dot to wear, 
 Yet for that I do not care. 
 When to work I go along. 
 Singing loud my morning song; 
 With my wallet on my back, 
 Or my wagon-wheel to smack; 
 O! I'm as hajipy then, 
 As the idle gentlemen. 
 I've a hearty appetite, 
 And I soundly sleep at night; 
 Down I lie content and say, 
 I've been useful all the day,

 HEBREW MELODY. 
 Tho AsByrian carne down like the wolf on (ho fold, 
 And his cohorts were gmaining in purplo nnd gold; 
 And theshaen of their spears was like stars on tho soa, 
 When the bluo wave rolls nigiilly on deep Galileo. 
 I.iUo the leavns of tho forest when summer is green 
 That host with their banners at sunset were seen; 
 Liko the leaves, of the forest when niitiiinn linlli flown, 
 That host on tho morrow lay wiihcr'd and slrown. 
 
 For tho angel of death spread hij wings on the blast, 
 And breuth'd on tho face of tho foo as ho pass'il. 
 And the eyes of the sleepers wa.x'd deadly and chill, 
 And thoir hearts but once heav'd and for overgrew still, 
 
 And there lay the steed with bis nostril all wide. 
 But through it ihero roll'd not the breath of his pride; 
 And tho fiam of his gasping lay white on tho turf. 
 And cold as tho spray of tho rock bealincr surf. 
 And there lay the rider distorted and pale, 
 Willi tho dew on his brow and the rust on his mail; 
 And tho tents were all silent, llie banners alone, 
 I'hc lunccs unl.ftcd, tho trumpets unblown. 
 And the widows of Asher ! re loud in their wail, 
 /villi i'a« iduis are btiiku iii liio leinpto oi iiaii. 
 And the might of the Gcntilo, unsmotc by tlio swiid,

 On the morning on which tin Lird removed 
 him, being at Breaklast, and hiving as he

 I think I am yet hungry, you may bring me 
 another Egg; but having tmned awhile he .said

 upon 
 
 he called for his IJible, n.id said; tur

 this was done he said, nosv n my finger upon

 said; Cod be with you my Child, I have break- 
 fasted wilh you, and shall gup with my Lord 
 Jesus this night, and so he gave up the Ghost. 
 Mr. Jhrveij .Jlitlhnr of the Mcdllaliona — 
 On the morning of his death, his Curate pay- 
 ing him a morning visit, Mr. llorvey, sitting 
 in an easy chair, for he was unabled to lie in 
 bed, said, "Sir, I cannot talk with you to day." 
 He complained much of a great inward con- 
 flict which he had; and, laving his hand on 
 
 his breast, said 
 
 Oh. 
 
 you do n 
 
 ot kno 
 
 great a conflict I have;" — and as ho apako, 
 his eyes wero constantly raisod towards hea- 
 ven, and his hands clasped in prayor. 
 Dr. Stonehouso came to liini about 3 hours be- 
 fore he o.f pired ,when lie expatiated on those 
 words: "All things are your's, life and death, 
 for yo arc Christ's." " Here," said he, is 
 the treasure of a Christian. Death is reckon- 
 ed amongst his inventory, and a noble trea- 
 sure it is. How thankful am I for death as 
 it is the passage through which 1 pass to the 
 Lord and giver of eternal lite; ar.d as it frees 
 mo from all this misery you now see me en- 
 dure, and which 1 am willing to endure, as 
 long as God seems fit: for 1 kiuiw he wi'l in 
 his own good time dismiss me from tho body. 
 These liglit alllictions are but for a moment, 
 and then comes an eternol weight ofglury. Oh

 "To live is Christ, but to die is gain." '

 Like a chord at its full stretch, it required 
 but the slightest force to break it, ho felt asHur- 
 ed that his Constitution had been irretiievab! v 
 ruined by Intemperance: that he was a worii 
 out .Wan, and that his mascular Tower was 
 gone, flashes before his eyes, palpitations and 
 
 anxieties hourly afllicted h 
 
 do you sup- 
 
 pose" he said with impatience that I wish I 
 Life? I havo grown heartily .sick of it, aid 
 should welcome 'he hour, I depart from it wny 
 should I regret it-' can it afl^ord me a ly plea- 
 sure? have I not enjoyed it to a surleit? few 
 Men can live faster than I did; I am literiilly 
 speaking a young old man, hardly arrived at 
 manhood, I had attained Iho Zonilh of l'"anie; 
 Pleasure 1 bave known under ovory f)rm in 
 wiiich it can present itself to mortals 1 havo 
 travelled, satisfied my curiosity , lost every il- 
 lusion: I havo exhausted all the nectar con- 
 tained in the Cup of Life; it is time to throw 
 the dregs away, but tho appreh«nsion ol two 
 Thing's haunt my mind, I picture myselfslovv- 
 ly expiring on a Hed of Torture, or tornii- 
 nating my days like Swift, a grinning Jdioi! 
 would to Heaven the day wero arrived, in 
 which sword in hand on a body of Turks, and 
 fighting like one weary of existence, I shall 
 meet immudutc painless death, the object of 
 i.iy wishes. 
 
 Wo shall not linger over, the rest of this 
 most painful picture; when the syintoms of 
 iinmediato danger began to show themselves; 
 Lord Byron requested Dr. Millingen to en- 
 quire in the Town, for i.ny very old and ugly 
 Witch, tho Doctor laughed, and he pioccedod 
 thus, with a serious air, never mind whether 
 I am superstitious or not, but I again inlreat of 
 you, to bring the most celebrated one there 
 is in order, that she may examine whether the 
 sudden loss of my health does not depend on 
 tho evil Eye, she may deriso some means to 
 dissolve the spell. 
 
 It appears that his mind was constantly 
 Inunted with the recollection, that his Greek 
 Expedition begun on a Friday; and a warning 
 fiiiit ho should beware of the 37ih. year, 
 which his iMother had received, when he was 
 in I it'ant, from an old Gyp'oy at Aberdeen; 
 his .)b«tinate refusal to be bled, soon made tin 
 Cuso liDpi loss, and in the agony of Death his

 Jes. What say'st thou, sinner? hast jhoii

 Jes. Hold, Justice, stay: .speak sinner,

 Sin. Nothing but mercy, mercy, Lord, 
 my state is miserably poor and desperntft; 
 I quite renounce myself, the world, and fleo

 Mt Daughter i:< the Faitu. 
 
 I rtccived your'a and read it with indignation; 
 ■nd sli.ill take the liUorty to answer in three |)ar- 
 tioulars. First I shall shew you the word oi'the 
 Lord. Seuandly, detect the hypocrisy of thy iieait; 
 and, Thirdly, t will shew you what will beiall you 
 in the latter daya. 
 
 The most Hitjh has noltisd up his children from 
 marryinu; but says, "marriage is honourable in all 
 kc." Tho blessed Saviour himself hi)noured a 
 wedding with his presence in Cana ofGallilee, 
 wrought his first iniracl* at it, and niatiii'ested 
 forth hi.s glory, iusomuch, that hisducipiss baliuv- 
 «d on him. 
 
 But God say " b« not unequally yoked with 
 L'nbeliover''s" If a womaH have a mind to marry, 
 siie IS at liberty to marry only in the Lord; mark 
 that; her liberty is limited — "to marry onlv in tha 
 Lord. I Cor. vii- :30." 
 
 There ar« biTt two fanailies in this world — the 
 children of God and tho children of the devil, if a 
 dauchtsr of God marries a son of Belial, sha makes 
 h<5r3elf a daughter-in-law to tho devil and by this 
 intamous step labours to bring about an affinity be- 
 tween the INIost High God, and Satan. 
 
 Wken God broufjht in his bill to the antedelu- 
 Tiaa world, unlawful marriages stood first in the 
 account. "Tha Sons of God saw the daughters of 
 men that they were fair; and they took them wivss 
 of such as they chose;" and by this they brought 
 on tha dreadful deluge: and you are going to jus- 
 tify them in your proceedings; and, by falling a 
 sacrifice t* their infKuations, you are endeavouring 
 to bring on tha final Conflagration. 
 All tlie plagues, persecutions, woes, and captivi- 
 ties that fsll to Israel's share in the land of Canaan, 
 began with these m'wcA marriages. God has set 
 the miserable match of Sampson as a caution to 
 every believer. But if thy afToctions ara saddled 
 upon an ass, tiiou wilt go on, howorer perverse thy 
 (iroccediiigs may bo, unless the drawn sword of 
 Cijd should appear in thy way. I have showed you 
 the word of the L )rd, which is the sword of the spi- 
 rit and if you rush upon the point of that sword, 
 ex|)ect to pierce yourselfthrough with many sorrows. 
 l,ot me dissect the hypocrisy of thy heart. V'ou 
 FRV he is a person of great property. This springs 
 t'ri);ii thecuised root of c ivetousness — "They that 
 will be rifh fall iute temptations and a snare, Stc." 
 
 As for his beauty, that is skin deep, and lays at 
 the mercy of a cold or fever. ,Iacob paid dear fur 
 this fading article, fourteen years hard labour, 
 rnan" cutting disappointments, and her beau'y was 
 hing balanced with u reproachful barrenness. -Vnd 
 Hs her beiiuty was a kind of rival to God. he per- 
 mitted Jacob iiiinseif to denounce her death in tiie 
 fiie ol'her uwii futher; " with whsinaoever th «u 
 
 I findest thy goils, let him not lira Gen xxxi. i'2 " 
 Jtschel had hid tham; and God took Jacob at his 
 word, and sent the first arrow of death to tiia 
 beautiful object. God likewisa tntangled her in 
 her own words. When she said to Jacol), giv6 nia 
 children or I die. God gave her a child, a Benoni; 
 a son of har sorrow, and she diad in bringing hint 
 forth. 
 
 "You verily believe that ho will bo convertrd 
 to God." Yes a likely matter, that God shouUl 
 convert a man to satisfy your desires, and nurse 
 your rebellion against his word. I know you wil 
 make a convert of him, rather than bo disappointed 
 "He goes with you to hear tlis gospel, and ;ip- 
 provesofit " No doubt ol" that ; and hts will aji- 
 ptar to get a "^roat deal ot' comfort iVoin it too, 
 while you ara parched at his right hand, 
 
 I will now shew you what will befall you in ffis 
 latter days. First you will not find Christ at tiio 
 wedding, yet you will not ba comfortless; tor yoor 
 comforts will spring from another quarter; a ul 
 while these last, you will hold up your head. 15 at 
 when tho honey month is oTcr, you will think abo ut 
 turning to your first husband again saying, it was 
 better with ma then than it is now. Hesca ii. "^ . 
 Bat tha Bible will appear a sealed book; tho intnr- 
 coufsa between God and your sorl will be barriul 
 up. many cutting reprools God will send you irom 
 the pulpct, which coiiscienca will ajiply to \our 
 case. These things will be the besinninj of soi- 
 raws with you fitiditi,' your soul bereft of the pre- 
 seace of God, and sinking iu distress under it Sa- 
 tan will begin to tempt you, conscience will acou-o 
 you, and God will I'rawn uiion you When this is 
 the case, you will naturally wither to all the charnw 
 of your husband, and be brought to hate him as llie 
 cause of y our soul's distress. 
 
 When your husband sees this, it will provoke him 
 to jealousy; your coldness will (|uicken his malice; 
 and the devil telling him that your rcli^jioii is th* 
 cause, he will then appear in liis proper colo.irs 
 cur.sc your prol'ession, and take up the cudgels 
 agaiaatyou; and then yau may expect to go ail tlia 
 rast of tho way with a corpse strapped at your ba-n , 
 I know this letter will not please yon; it is a purgu 
 fur your consciance; however you will seek coiin- 
 sel from some other prol'essor who will a|)prove ul' 
 vour measures, and then my luttcr will hava no 
 weight till alter the wadding is over. 
 
 1 do not e.vpect an answer to this, as it is si 
 
 wide to your purpisc. (Jit il' ever you s!iould wntts 
 
 i to ma again, i crave one liivour at' you. which is, 
 
 i that you will never more call ino your lather, or 
 
 I even owned that you were called under my mm- 
 
 listrv; for vour presuraptiaii m wedlock will be a 
 
 ' scandal even to a coal-hcaTer. Hemsmber you ara 
 
 a daughter of kJeth, as long as yen do well a:id I 
 
 will own Vk-o as long as you obay the wurd of God, 
 
 and no longer.

 'Tis midnight — On the globe dead slumber 
 And all is silence, in the hour ofsleep; sits, 
 Save whtM) the hollow {;ust that swells by tits,

 I waku alone to listen and to weep.

 And as still memory does h«r vigils keep.

 The stag, too, sinirled from the herd, where 
 Long he ranged, the branching monarch of 
 'J'ho shades, hefore the tempest drives. At 
 I'lrst ill s()eeil, he sprightly puts his faith ; 
 And roused by fear, gives all his swift aerial 
 Soul to (light; against the breeze he darts, 
 'I'liat way the more, to leave the lessening 
 Murderous cry behind: deception short! 
 'J'hougb fleeter than the winds blown o'er 
 Tno keen air'd m.iuntain by the north. 
 He trusts the thickets, glances through the 
 filadus and plunges deep into the wildest wood 
 It'alow, yet sure, adhesive to the track 
 Hut streaming, up behind him come again 
 'rii' inhuman rout, and from the shady depth 
 K.xpel him, circling through his every shiil. 
 He sweeps the forest oft; and sobbing sees 
 The glades, mild opening to the golden day; 
 VVheru m kind contest, with his bulling friends 
 He went to struggle, or his loves enjoy. 
 Olt III the full descendini" flood lie tries

 Olt seeks the herd: the watchful herd alarinM

 And pill., his last vvcak refuge to despair.

 ON SEEING. 
 
 MnlcraU h'/r/t*— The eve cannot adjust itself 1 "' 'liferent distancesi—this range of accom- 
 
 perfectly, while it i<» exposed to the stimulus | '"oui*""" ai'iimishes gradually: till it fails al- 
 
 of surrounding Objects— a defence from the 
 
 intrusion of collateral rays will prevent tho 
 
 picture on the Retina being confused by those 
 
 adventitious rays which otherwise distract it, 
 
 and if those rays are admitted into the eye 
 
 most entirely, and those to whom it is given, 
 to continue to discern distant things distinctly, 
 have no loni,'er tho power of seeing distinct- 
 ly those which are near. 
 
 ihe first indication of tho eye beg-inning to 
 which come direct from the object under ex- I ^'^ i'npa'red by ago, is that when you wish 
 amination, it will make a much more vivid I '** '"''''"^ '"* ^'"'*" P""'' ""^ * P^"> o"" thread a 
 impression on the sigiit, which will be sharp- ' "cedic, &c. you are obliged to remove it fur- 
 ened and strengthened very much. I thcr from your eye than you have been accus- 
 
 The Pupil of the eye is larger when shaded''"'"'''^ '° '^°' and desire the aid of plenty of 
 by a Broad Bri'iimcd Mat— such as Coachmen i ''S'"' '^"'^ "" '"^okinL; at a near ob|ect, it be- 
 wear, who probably adopted this custom from I <=°'''°^ confused, and appears to h.ive a kind 
 
 ot mist before it, «nd the letters of a book, 
 run one into another, or appear double, iic. 
 
 If you obstinately strive against natitre, and 
 barbarously refuse your eyes that assistanuo 
 from art which will enable you to see willi 
 great case, but without which, you cannot hco 
 wiiiiout great diHiculty— You will act an ab- 
 surdly as if you refused to eat when luiiigry 
 or to sit down when you are tired — and will 
 soon strain and wo;iken your siglit, which will 
 receive, more injury in a few months by such 
 forced exertion, than it would m years, if as- 
 sisted by proper glasses which render vision 
 easy. 
 
 The common objection which people make 
 to put on spectacles, is,that,"if thoy once be- 
 gin to wear them, tiiey are afraiil they can 
 never leave them off ajjain" this is true 
 enonjib; — but why should thoy? if by such aid, 
 their siglit is relieved and preserved, and thoy 
 arc enabled to see easily and distinctly, anil 
 when thoy attempt to rend without, their eyoa 
 aclie, — their bead aclins, — and every bit ot' 
 'em aches. Dr. Kitclihier. 
 
 "The change in tho conformation of tho 
 eyes, which renders spectacles useful, seems 
 to be oneolthoso which N'ature has d.;stined 
 to take place at a particular period of life, and 
 to winch there is no gr.id mil approach through 
 the preceding course of lil'o. A person for in- 
 stance at 10, Hee;^ an (il))"ct distinctly, and 
 at tlie sumi; distiuicc that he did at -0. Wiipu 
 lie draws near to 0!). the ciiango I have spoken 
 ot", c iinmonly comes on unil oblig''s him in a 
 short time to wear ppfctaclcs. As he pro- 
 ceeds ho is under the necos-<ity of using others 
 of a higher power, but insti'ud ofsuppising 
 that his sight is priilua'ly becoming wor«e, 
 tVom a niuii':il process, bo nttrib ilos tiiu in- 
 cre ise of tli.j vbloct in it, to his too caily and 
 tVe(i;iont use of glasses. Upon the wholu, I 
 draw t!>is in.foretice from what has l.-eea Ktatnil 
 that no person wlios>' sii;lit hcfrins t'l grow long, 
 ought to bo i:) till' h'.ist |irovent(.il from enjoy- 
 ing tho immediate a>iv:>ni,»go which spectacles 
 will afl'ord liiin, by the I'cir ihiil they will ul- 
 tiinatoly injure bis oyes,"I/r fVclla. y|» r»»iur». 
 
 its advantages in sharpening their sight 
 Too much light is as prejudicial as too little, 
 light enough to illuminate the object, and to 
 make it easily and perfectly visible, is all 
 that is wanted: — on this occasion, tho Old 
 I'roverb, " Enough is as good as a Feast," 
 is quite true, — more is not only unnecessary, 
 but injurious, and will not only ovarstimulato 
 the eye and force the pupil to shut itself up, 
 but if continually so irritated, tho eye will 
 soon become as mucii inipaircd by such over- 
 stimulation, aathe stomach is by dram-drink- 
 ing 
 
 The proper way of defending the eyes from 
 too much light, is by preventing all that is 
 superfluous from entering- tlie room, by means 
 • !' blinds or shutters — thus, you may admit 
 •nly just such a degree of light as you find 
 most agreeable to tho eyes. 
 
 At Night — use a Uiiadino; C indlc^ih It with 
 R shade to shield the eye from the glare of 
 light, which is of greater assistance to the 
 sight than those who have not tried it can 
 imagine: — O.ie candle so shaded will enable 
 a person to see better than two without such 
 a shade. 
 
 The Optic Pupil inevitably adjusts itself 
 to the brightest object, which tiicrolore should 
 be til It wliich it is its businoss to attend to, — 
 not the fl ime of the candle, but the book you 
 are reading.

 On the Pi-escrvation of the Eijc. 
 
 The best P. un for the preservation of the 
 Kyes, jg not ta employ them in any work at 
 iiiijlit that gives tiiein trouble: — let nil btisi- 
 ness, whinh requires ititcnse attenti'in, such as 
 inendiiig l*ei)s, Stc. bi3 done by the better day. 
 
 At any age, tiio less tiie eyes are actively 
 employed at night the better-ai'tcr the labour.s 
 of the day, the eye p;irticipalC9 in tiiat lan- 
 guor whieii every other part of tive body .siilfers, 
 and the tone of the vistinl urguii is compara- 
 tively feeble, therefore : as much as pos- 
 sible, reading a small |;. or any business 
 ■wliich requires the eanu si exertion of the 
 eyes, and always use a ^shaded f.ight. 
 
 Over exercise of the eyes, will occasion a 
 temporary exhaustion of thein, just in lihe 
 luimner as over-exercise of the ]eg3 will disa- 
 ble a person, from walking with his wonted 
 energy; till rest restores vigour to him. 
 
 WAT(;ir-.MAKEi'.s IvvGitWFiis, and those who 
 Br.i io ih.^ hithit of using Strong IM;ignilier«, 
 \'>ii;n ( 01 their eyes much less fatigued, il'the 
 ol)H'ets I if.'V examine were always placed at 
 «nce, atid kept atthe proper focus, this tivight 
 lie coii'rived very ea'sily, by tixmgilie magni- 
 (yiiig-ojass in the opening of the spnc.laele 
 liii'ne, or on a stand, w.ih an adjiistm nt I y a 
 T'>oih and riiiion t» bring it tu a distinct vi- 
 
 sion, nnd which would also' support the object 
 which might be fixed by' n simple apparatuB, 
 nnd so both (lie honds and the eye might work 
 nt ii with great ease and advantage to what 
 th«y do now w i rhout such holders, which in 
 fact would bepfi'ial to another pair of hands. 
 Nothing can be more detrimental to the or- 
 ga n of sight than the clumsy practice of Watch 
 makers holding a glass by squeezing the or- 
 bicularis muscle, — which cannot be done 
 without distorting, and distressing, nnd much 
 injuring the mechanism of the eye. 
 Fiom Rammazilni oi the Difrase.i of Tradesmen, 
 I would advise certain Workmen (such as 
 Engravers &.c.) not only to uie spectncleg 
 but to intermit from their work now and then 
 and rcfiesh their eyes by diversity of objects. 
 For we can't ima-ine how much the mobility 
 af the membranes of the eyea, and the na- 
 tive fluidity of the humours, is kept up by 
 viewing divers objects; some near at hand, 
 some remote, some directly, others obliquely; 
 and, in hnc, all manner of ways; for by this 
 means the natural disposition of the cyo is 
 preserved, so that the ball ia sometimes con- 
 tracted, and sometimes dilated; and the Crys- 
 talline Humour approaches more or less to 
 the I'upilia, according ad,th© remoteness or 
 nearness of tho object req-uires. Without thin 
 diversity ofaction, the eyes undergo the same 
 fate with the other parts, that by being Ion" 
 detained in one position, grow stiA'anll unlit 
 for motion'. 
 
 Onrco'linghy Camlh TJs^ht. rir, KItrhnrr 
 
 At night use a Reading Candlestick or 
 a T.amp with a shade to shield tho eye from 
 the glare of light; which is of much greater 
 assistance to tho sight than those who have 
 not tried it can imagine: —One candle so sha- 
 ded will enable a person to see better than 
 two v.'ithout such a sh-adc. 
 
 The optic nerve inevitably adpjsts itself to 
 the nenre.jt object, wliich therefore should be 
 that which it is its business to attend to, nn'^ 
 the f.iime of acandle, but the book you' are' 
 reading.

 Dr. IJrown, in his antiquities of the Jews, 
 says, "that in tho original institution of the 
 passover, there is no mention made of tho 
 drinkinfi of wine, but the .lews adopted it. 
 on the ground that the liquor wbicii cheered 
 the heart was proper to bo used at the com- 
 -mcmoralion of so great a dclive ar.co.' 
 
 From the whole of what has bean advanced, 
 
 we perceive, tbat total abstinence is not the 
 doctrine of Scripture; that Lh.e Hible is a mo- 
 deration book, and that the WortI of God «n- 
 joing the strictest teinperanoe, and prohibits 
 
 drunkenness in the most positive terms.

 The juice of the grape has no Alcohol in it 
 when first exprogsed, and before it becomes 
 fermented. By boiling it down, it is preserved 
 for any length of time, without fermentation 
 When newly pressed from the grape or 
 whon thus preserved, it is a safe, wholesome 
 and nourishing beverage. This drink is called 
 Ifiiu-, and so 13 the fermented juice of the 
 grape, named wine but a mere name, does I 
 not change the nature of a thing— Otherwise I

 Wo may consider broilinfj as a slight vari- 
 ntiun ol' the [»rocoM4 of roastin;;; bui though 
 they may appear to did'cr but little, there ia 
 u considerable diirurcnco in their eilocts. 
 
 In roasting and bakinfj it requires soino time 
 to form an incrustation on the surlaee of the 
 meat; but in broilini;, tlu? (|uick application 
 i>f a brisk heal very sp'.'cdily trees the outsidi" 
 liSros I'roiii 'heir watery luiecs, and a firm and 
 crisp coatin;; of libro and I'.it is .soon jiroduced. 
 
 This crusi presents a slroni; barrier against 
 tlic. escape nf ihb juices from iho interior, 
 which are suddenly exp.inded than in the slow- 
 vr |)roee89 of roaslin;;, and of course must pro- 
 duce a more violent scpcralion ut' the small 
 lihres from Iheir several liuiidles. These el- 
 J'ccts, however, an; chielly mechanical, for 
 there docs not appo ir to be ihe same chenii- 
 i:ui union of llie severii .su!)staiii;es as is obser- 
 ved ill roasting; and it is found tint liroiled 
 meat contains more uncoai.nilated alliuduii, 
 ^clalinc, anu oilier unconihined chemical prin- 
 ciples, than if it had been either roasled or 
 boiled. It is this that renders broiled meat 
 more juicy and sapid; while the more sudden 
 nnd viident rupture ol the libres, caused by the 
 rapid txpaohion of the lluids, must evidenily 
 render it ^fcatly more tender thiiii il'ihey had 
 been slowly and gradually s'jperated by roas- 
 ling or boiliii;^. 
 
 When we are asked tlii'roforo, what sorts 
 of meat are niiist lit lor bioilini;, <ve should 
 ¥av. ssucli as are tun dry%iul dehv.'ient in ulbu- 
 liien asi'J i/elatia" l''r r'>a*t'Mir — :uri'"iir which 
 maybe meiitio:i>'d ihu tl'sh ol'old animals, the 
 luiii:) uf l>c«i', \y\iic'.i ubjunJi in fibre; and 
 
 above all, (jame, and most sorts offish, siich 
 as trout, chur, mackerel, and lierrni;;.*, which 
 would be rendered too soft by boili njr, jnid bu 
 quite shrivelled by ronsliiii; or hakin;;. Huch 
 IIckIi (ii abounds in gelatine nnd watery juicoi 
 is not proper l<>r broiling; and, eonstquriiily, 
 lamb, veal, and hucUiutx-piir, fawn, and kid, 
 are much more adapted liir roaslin<;. 'J'ha 
 Haine may bu said of the part.i of animals, for 
 even the white and tendonous parts of the old- 
 er annuals shiiiild not bo lirmled, while Uia
