IDF SINGLE COPIES ONE CENT. CHARLES LAMB. An essayist in Harpers’ Magazine, writing of the humorists, says: Perhaps the most delightful and popular of this class is Charles Lamb—a man cosily do- mesticated by the heart's fireside of his read- ers. Such wit, such humor, such ii nation, such intelligence, such sentiment, such kindli- nesé, such heroism—all #0 quaintly mixed and mingled, and stuttering out in so freakish a fashion, and all blending so finely in that ex- uisite eccentric something which we call the a ter of Charles Lamb, make him the most lovable of writers and men. His essays—the gossip of created genius—are of a piece with the records of his life and conversation. Whether saluting his copy of Chapman’s ‘‘ Homer’’ with a kiss—or saying grace before reading Milton— or going to the thnatre to see his own farce act- ed, join in the hisses of the pit when it fails—or sagely wondering if the Ogles of Som- erset were not descendants of King Lear—r telling Barry Cornwall not to invite a lugubri- ous gentleman to dinner, because his face would eause a damp over a funeral—or giving as a reason why he did not leave off smoking, the difficulty of finding an equivalent vice—or striking into a hot controversy between Cole- ridge and Holeroft, as to whether man as he is, or man as he is to be, is preferable, and settling the dispute by saying, “give me a man as he is not to be’’—or doing some deed of kindness and love, with tearsin hiseyes and a punon his lips—he is always the same dear, strange, de- lightful companion and friend. He is never— the rogue—without a scrap of logic to astound common sense. “Mr. Lamb,” says the head clerk at the In- dia House, “ you come down very late in the morning'’’ “Yes, sir,’ Mr. Lamb replies, “bat ‘then, you know, I go home very early in the afternoon.”’ And then with what humorous extravagance he expresses his peevishness at being confined to a work, with curious inge- nuity running his malediction on commerce along all its lines of influence. ‘ Confusion blast all mercantile transactions, all traffic, exchange of commodities, intercourse between nations, all the co: uent civilization, and wealth and amity, and hok of society, and get- ting rid of prejudices, and knowledge of the face of the globe ; and rot all the firs of the for- est, that look so romantic alive, and die into desks.’ It is impossible to cheat this frolic- some humorist with any pretence, any exagge- rated sentiment, any of the do-m isms of well meaning moral feebleness. lady sends him “Celebs in search of a Wife,”’ for his pe- rusal and guidance. He returns it with his uartrain written on the fly leaf, expressing the slight disagreement between his views of matrimony those entertained by Miss Han- nah Moore '!— “If ever I marry a wife, I'll marry a landlord’s daughter, And sit in the bar all day, And drink cold brandy and water.’ If he thus slips out of controversy by making the broadest absurdities the vehicles of the fineet insight, his sense and enjoyment of ab- surdities in others rises to rupture. The non- sensical ingenuity of the pembiet in which his friend Capel Lofft took the ground that Na- poleon, while in the hands of the English, might sue out a writ of a habeas corpus, threw him into eestacies. And not only has he quibs and quirks and twisted words for all he sees and feels, but he has the pleasantest art of ma- king his very maladies interesting by transmu- ting them into jests. Out of thedarkest depths of the “‘ dismals”’ fly some of the happiest con- ceits. *‘* My bedfellows,’’ he writes to Woods- worth, ‘‘are cough and cramp. Wesleep three inabed”’ “ How is it.” he says, “ that I ean not get rid of this cold’ It can’t be froma lack of care. I have studiously been out all these rainy nights until twelve o'clock, have had my feet wet constantly, drank copiously of brandy to ally inflamation, and done every thing else to cure it, and yetit wont depart’’— a@ sage decision, worthy of that physician who told patient that if he had no serious draw- backs he would probably be worse in a week. To crown ail, and to make the character per- feet in its winning contradictions, there beats beneath the fantastic covering and incalcula- ble caprices of the humorist the best heart in the world, capable of courtesy, of friendship, of love, of heroic self-devotion and unostentatious self-sacrifice How ro Use Fevits.—To derive, from the employment of fruits and berries,all that health- ful and nutritive effect which belongs to their nature. we should— Ist. Use fruits that are ripe, fresh, perfect, raw. 2d. They should be used in their natural state, without sugar. cream, milk or any other item of food or drink. Sd. Fruits have their best effect when used in the early part of the day; hence we do not advise their employment at a later hour than the middle of the afternoon; not that, if per- fect and ripe, they may not be eaten largely by themselves, within two hours of bedtime, wit! advantage; but if the sourness or decay should happen to taint them, or any other liquor should inadvertently be largely drank after- ward, even cold water. acidity of the whole mass may follow, resulting ina night of dis- tress. So it is better not to run the risk. To derive a more decided medical effect, fruits should be largely eaten soon after rising in the morni and about midway between breakfast and dinner. An incalculable amount of sickness and suf- fering would be prevented every year if the whole class of desserts were swept from our tables during summer, an‘ fresh, ripe, perfect fruits and berries were substituted; while the amount of money that would be saved thereby, at the New York prices of fruits, would, in some families, amount to many dollars—enough to educate an orphan child or support a col- portera whole yearin some regions of our coun- try —Hall’s Journal of Health.

A Philadelphia journal in an article upon the Supernatural, refers to the famous apparition which is said to have appeared to Lord Lyttel- ton, and ascribes it, no doubt with good reason, to an excited imagination. There is another tale, reported by Lord Lbs elton (we mean, of course, the younger of that name) which shows the tendency in the minds of even the shrewdest men of the world to give @ respectful audience to the marvellous and sa- pernatural. It may be found in the twenty- first of Lord Lyttelton’s letters. He says, that in the early part of the life of ; one of his friends, he attended a hunt- ing club, when a well mounted stranger, of gen- teel address, joined the club, and rode with a degree of courage and address, that astonished everybody. The animal he rode is described as one of amazing powers and endurance; the hunts- man who was left far behind swore that the man and his herse were devils from hell. Af- ter the sport, he was invited to dinner, and as- tonished the company as much by his conversa- tional bowers and the elegance of his manners as by his equestrian powers. He was, says Lord Lyttelton, an orator, a poet, a painter, a musician, a lawyer, a divine: in short, he was everything, and the magic of his discourse kept the drowsy sportsmen awake long after their usual hour. At length they retired, but had searcely closed their eyes. when they were awakened by the most terrible shrieks, resound- ing through the house. Inquiring of the ser- vauts Lexy were told that these horrid sounds proceeded from the stranger's chamber; andon approaching his room, deeper groans of despair, and shriller shrieks of agony astonished and terrified them. After knocking at the door, he answered them as one just awaked from sleep, declared he had heard no noise, and in rather angry tone, desired not to be disturbed again. The company accordingly retired and had searee begun to communicate their sentiments to each other, when a repetition of the most hor- rid sounds broke in upon the conversation— * yells, screams, shrieks, which, from the hor- ror of thein, seemed to issue from the throats of damned and tortured spirits.” They immedi- ately followed the sounds and traced them to the stranger's chamber, the door of which they instantly batst open, and found him on his knees in bed, in the act of scourging himself with the most unrelenting severity, his body streaming with blood. “ On their seizing his hand to stop the strokes, he begged them in the most wringing tone of voice, as an act of mercy, that they would retire assuring them that the cause of their disturb- ance was over, and that in the morning he would acquaint them with the reasons of the terrible cries they had heard, and the melan- choly sight they saw. After a repetition of en- treaties, they retired ; and in the morniag some of them went to his chamber, but he was not there ; and on examining the bed. they found it to be one gore of blood. Upon further inquiry the groomsman said, as soon as it was light, the — came to the stable booted and spurred esired his horse might be immediately saddled and appeared to be extremely impatient till it was done, when he vaulted instantly into his saddle, and rode out of the yard at full speed. Servants were immediately dispatched into every part of the surrounding country, but not a single trace of him could be found; sucha aig had not been seen by any one, nor has nm since heard of."” Lord Lyttelton proceeds to state that the cir- cumstanses of this strange story were immedi- ately committed to writing, and signed by all who witnessed them, that the future credibility of any one, who should think proper to relate them, might be duly supported. Among those who witnessed it were some of the first men of England. e@ charm of this marvelous narrative, in which Lord Lyttelton, who could not believe Christianity, evidently suspected something su- pernatural, is somewhat dispelied by the fact that, about the date of the narrative, un Amer- ican gentleman by the name of Huger, of South Carolina, visited England, who was just such a person as described above, as fine a horseman, a man of very elegant manners and splendid wers of conversation, but who had the ugly bit of whipping himself in his sleep, precisely as described by Lord Lyttelton. BERANGER'S DEATH KEPT A SECRET BY THE FRENCH GOVERNUWENT. [From the Paris correspondence of National Era.] In my last, I stated that Beranger would not, in all probability, be among the living by the time my letter reached you; and scarcely had I mailed it, when he breathed his Inst. He died on Thursday, the 16th instant, at 5 o’clock, p. m.; and the evening papers were for- bidden to announce his death, and the numerous visitors calling daily at his residence were also kept ignorant of the fact. The Government fearing that the news of his decease might bring together a great concourse of people dis- ad to make public demonstrations of their (tig respect for the defunct, did not announce is death officially till the next morning, and then with the significant remark, ‘‘ That the Government had taken all necessary measures to suppress any tumultuous demonstration, and that no one would be allowed to take part in the funeral ceremony,except those to whom ecards of invitation would be sent.’’ : Notwithstanding a police regulation ‘to pre- vent burials before the lapse of twenty-four hours after death. poor Beranger was laid in his coffin and taken to his last resting-placo before he was even cold. The Emperor affected great regard for the national poet, and announced that he would defray the expenses of the tunc- ral; thereby giving himself the liberty to hurry those dangerous remains to the graye with Im- perial pomp, under the vigilant eye of thou- sands of policemen and scores of soldiers. At an early hour in the morning, small de- tachments of soldiers were seen in all parts of the city, advancing towards the Boulevart du Temple. Several regiments were drawn up in lines near the streets where the funeral procession was to pass, and the cemetery “ Pere la Chaise’ was strongly guarded. The splendid hearse was followed by bis two nephews—one a musician in the army, and the other a journeyman printer; an Imperial coach preceded others containin, the favored few invited to follow the remains the much-beloved poet to his last resting-place. Uuly four persons were permitted to accompa- ny the defunct to the vault; and scarcely was he deposited, when the doors of the vault were closed, and the procession ordered to return. Not a word was allowed to be said in memory of that good old man, lest the zephyrs might waft them over the walls of thecemetery, where crowds of persons, belonging to all ranks of so- ciety, were stationed, to pay a last tribute to their national poet and friend. The streets through which the funeral procession passed were filled with workmen and their wives, many of whom wore black. The windows were not only crowded to excess, but the roofs of the houses lining the way were also covered with people. waving wreathes of amaranths. Such was the admiration fur Beranger the poet for the Sap and old, the poet of the masses. The last slontion gare the most positive and satisfactory proof of the republican spirit of the Parisians, and consequently, the Government feared to allow a public expression of their lib- eral sentiments so soon after them, and, to pre- vent it, exposed their tottering weakness. The official organs announced that the Em- reas was to have visited the opera on the even- ing of Beranger's death, but, upon h ing of it she gave orders to have her box vacated. The Emperor is said to have been incognito. Great must have been his r Bef when the remains of that popular man were safely deposited under ground, and the crowd quietly dispersed. The whole proceeding appeared more like a public execution than a Christian burial.
