.lohn Abernethy, '0Q'0“dIIO"‘IlIOIl eminent surgeons and lllcfllflildlitetu of the last century, seve- _rul V anecdotes are recorded. He was exti'clriitly'eecentric, or rather extreinc-

ly rngnly. .Ile acted and spolto always us” nature dictated, and not as custom ordained. To a rich valetudinarian gen- tleman he once said, "Live ona six- perice ti day, atid earn it ;” and to a lady of the of same species who offered him a fee’, he'said—" Madam, keep your money and buy a shipping rope." ‘When he loved he still continued to despise the forms with which society ever seeks to encutube‘r'tlie.sayin , and doings of men. Ho didnot waste his time in courting, nor did he prostrate himself, as is usually the case, before the relatives of his Eve. Helnet her in the street, revealed his affection for her, and offered her his hand. She accepted it, and he im- mediately gave -her a purse, with orders to furnish a housc.—Gilfillan’s‘ Gallery of Literary Portraits.

_Srnolting has a decided influence on the constitution. The two active princi- ples above referred to are present in to- bacco smoke, and of course are drawn into the mouth and throat, and, when the saliva is swallowed, find their way into the stonacli. If chemical experi- ment had not detected these principles in smoke, their effect on unaccustomed smokers-—siekness, giddiness, and faint- ness—would indicate their presence. Faiiitness, almost to death, has happened from an incautious first essay with a pipe ; and even old smokers have succumbed to an excessive amount of smoking. Two deaths are on record, one from smoking seventeen, and another from eighteen pipes.

“I experience a pleasure,” said the accomplished daughter of Baroti Cuvicr, “in reading the Bible, which I never felt before; it attracts and fixes me to an inconceivable degree, and I seek sincerely there, and only there, the truth. When I compare the calm and the peace which the smallest and most imperceptible grain of faith gives to the soul, with all that the world alone can give ofjoy or happi- ness, I feel that the least in the kingdom of heaven is a hundred times more bless- ed than the greatest and most elevated of the men of the world.”

Tm: ONLY Ouri.-—Ev'cry man believes the “only honest lawyer” to be his own—until the “ honest lawyer” has sent him in his bill of costs.

A witty lawyer once asked a boarding- house-lteeper the .following qucstion:—- “ r. , ifa man gives you 500 dol- lars to keep for him, and dies, what do you do for him? Do you pray for him?” “ No, sir,” he replied, “I pray for unotherlilre him.” '

An Irishman, on buying an alarm clock, observed that, as he loved to rise early, he had now only to pull the string and wake himself.

“ Ah I” said Seraphina Angelica, speaking on some subject in which her feelings were warmly enlisted, “ how gladly I would embrace an opportunity?” “would I were an opportunity!” inter- ruptod her bashful lover, who had been “comin to see her” for three months, and yet ad never summoned up courage to speak to the point before.

EATING.

We most firmly believe, that if‘ animals could speak, as Esop and other fabulists make thorn seem to do, they would declare man the most voracious animal in exist- ence. There is scarcely any living thing that flies in the air, swims in the sea, or moves on the land, that is not made to minister to his appetite. The Esquimauxl devour raw fish; the Tartars eat horse flesh; the South Sea Islanders are fond of dogs; the Africans relish ants and mon- lteys; the Chinese think rats, mice and eats, exquisite delicacies ; the polished Parisian is partial to frogs; the Italians regalc themselves with a jelly made of‘ vipers; the entrails of unipes are eaten with avidity uni us at nine sup era by all true opicnt-cs; while t e New ulundcr’s

favourite dish is a missionary.

Perhaps, if the aforsuid animals were cup- able of discrimination as well as speech, they would declare the Yankees the most voracious thuiily. And who that is fami- liar with hotel and steamboat life, would deny thh truth oftbo assertion? What vu- lorous treselter men we are, when, after Iinviug bun wih di kept back by bolts and bars and an horn of black waiters while the supper table is being set, we dash upon the ' welcome _ and burn, un jeldcs, qbd
