Saciv.l Lilicly ! 1 Vv’liv is it that so few was an«;ry that the world thought 50 too : tiie brlde};room looked sheepish, and kept his eyts fixed on the ground, w hile he rapjied his shoe with his cane, much to the discomliture of the |iidy, ^^ho^vas ciim|jelled to pul hersell for ward as he imng back, and to take his i arm instead of waiting to be led to the ultar. She could not conceal her moi- tiiicalion at the neglect she experienced, but she bridled, and tost aiui cast such bitter glances upon those wlio seemed disposeil to. smile, tlial all the pariv stood awe-struck : ami w hen the cere mony commenced, it was rather cin'ious to hear llie brkiegioom whispering his j)art of the service, while the sharp shrill voice of the bride was actually starting in the solemn silence of a large and nearly emjjty church, 'i'hc con trast between this antirpiated belle's yellow parcliment visage and her snowy drapery was so striking that it increas ed her ugliness. I could think of no thing but an Egyptian muntmy tricked out in w hite satin ; and there were some siv look? pnsseil amid the company when her rt'siless liery eyes were l«r a moment withdrawn, which .seemed to say that some ^such idea was gliding lliVough their brads. I suppose that she had a good deal of moiicy, for by the uoor lad's manner I any of hose who have abstnined entire ly‘from ardent si)irils, are ever torment ed by these complaints. Tell me why it is, that dyspeptics so generally recov er a healthful tone of the stomach, and a vigorous elasticity of muscle, in con sequence of resolutely refusing to resoit longer, for relief, to' thQse cauterizing stimulants. Fevers, moreover, arc supjio?cd, if 1 rightly understand reports, to originate in'a bad stale of the Stomach. Again, therelore, I w'ould gladly be inlormed, why is it that fever, when ejiidemic. whether by 'ryphus, or some other name designated, proves generally, so much more deadly lo habitual drinkeis of distilled lifi'iors, than to the aiistin- ent. I know that lliis is not perfectly iin- excejitionable. \ ictims are sometimes, though rarely, found among the most rigidly abstemious. But it is so nearly witluMit e.sception, as to have become ])roverbi'd. An epiilemic fever selects the intenijierate lor the inlliction ol its mortal strokes.
