The food of man should be regulated, in its quality and quantity, by the seasons, or by the temperature of the climate in which he lives. In summer, and in the torrid climes, our diet should be principally vegetable, without stimuli, as it is milder and generally believed to preserve our juices from putrefaction. But our oriental epicures treat this rule with contempt; and look with disgust upon those dishes, which are not rendered stimulating by the highest seasoning. They contend, with some ingenuity, that benevolent nature has reared in these regions the pepper and spice trees, i for no other reason than to administer to the languid appetite of man. In winter, and in cold climates, an opposite regimen should be adopted. In youth, the appetite is generally more vigorous, and this for the wisest purpose; because then the body -not only demands food for its preservation, but its increase. In order to keep up this cause, habits of restlessness, and active amusement are implanted in the minds of the young; for in health, our appetite increases in proportion to the quantity of exercise we take. The shape of the stomach, its great capacity, and the habits of infants and animals, which do not cease to eat until that organ is filled, point out to us past until the appetite is sated, than to repeat it at intervals. These unsophisticated children of nature inculeate on as another rule, to give ourselves up to quiet and repose, after enjoying the pleasures of a simple or luxurious table. the moon the planets, fixed stars, eclipses, &c.

What is most surprising, is that the one face was male and the other female; and even the putting up of the hair was appropriate to the sexes: they were situated in the stone face to fuce. Reason and experience both teach us that our bodies are much more effectually nourished by moderate than • superfluous diet; for, as I have remarked above, the former, by demanding greater powers, and more gastric juice than the stomach can afford, clogs its action, - and deadens its vitality. Thus, from the sympathy which that organ exerts with the other parts of our frame, the whole system becomes deranged, and the most fatal consequences result to both body and mind. This, then, is the fate of the rich and luxurious; but the poor peasant, who has only the cravings of nature to supply, partakes of his humble fare with as much enjoyment as the epicure his forced dishes, and lives to a good old age in content and happiness. The one may be said to live well, but to live happily, never! Thus we see that the favourite maxim of Epicurus, the « summa voluptas nikil dolere,” may be turned' against himself, and that indulgent nature has balanced the joys of society in a manner which should be satisfactory to all.

The workmen of Mr. Stevens, surveyor, of Bury St. Edmunds, whilst raising gravel in the kill, near the Priory, discovered at a small depth from the surface of the earth, the skeletons of twenty-four human bodies, of rather gigantic size, but in every respect perfect. Numerous persons have been to view them, and it is supposed they are a part of the bodies slain in the bloody battle fought on that spot during the reign of Henry II. and when the differences existed between that Monarch and his son, when to aid the latter the Earl of Leicester was marching through Fornham, from Framlingham, with an immense army of Flemings (principally artificers and weavers), but were attacked by the King's troops, who dispersed them in an instant, put 10,000 of them to the sword, and took their commander prisoner. This engagement took place in the year 1174, upwards of 600 years since, and the teeth in these skeletons were found extremely white and perfect.

Notwithstanding the solemnity of the place, the gravity of the minister and his congregation were not proof against this attack, and it was some time before the former could so far recover from its ludicrous effect as to resume his discourse.
