TP HE circumstance of life presents 
nothing more miserable in prospect 
or painful in reality, than the surviving of 
the body after the departure of the intel- 
lect. 
In this particular it is especially provi- 
dential that blindness to the fuinre is given 
to man; for how could an individual live 
‘and enjoy life under the dreadful anticipa- 
tion that he should ere long eraw] upon the 
surface of the earth—the semblance rather 
than the substance of a living being,—a 
burthen, if not to himself, at least to those 
near to and about him. 
Some degree of apprehension in refe- 
rence to this result may, however, occa- 
sionally prove salutary in cansing us to 
shun those courses which naturally, if not 
necessarily, lead to it. 
A scene has but a few hours since passed 
before the observation of the present wii- 
ter calculated to give thought to the 
thoughtless, and to prove of more preven- 
tive efficacy than precept upon precept 
from the moralist, or denunciation after 
denunciation from the preacher—a scene 
to do justice to which would defy the pic- 
turesque force of even Irving’s phraseo- 
logy and manner—a scene which it 
were desirable should be witnessed by 
all the disciples of that delusive creed, 
“a short life anda merry one,” for those 
suicidical attempts at abridging existence 
which the sensualist avowedly makes often 
fail of their full effect, and instead of con- 
ducting their victim at once to the silence 
and repose of the grave, either open upon 
him a sad and dreary purgatory of power- 
less regret, or entomb his soul in the dust 
of his body a long, long time before the 
latter goes to its native dust of the earth, 
Oh! if any thing could stay the hand of 
mad intemperance, it would be the passing 
of some hours or days with the semi-vital 
half-conscious thing which intemperance 
has made. Bat the writer’s admonitions, 
should they be considered such, come, he 
is happy to say, too late. Whe habits of 
all classes of society (le asserts it in spite 
of vituperations to the contrary) have 
recently much improved, and the tone of 
nerve will be found to keep pace with the 
improved tone of morals and manners, 
The principal diseases of the present 
month have been, as was to be expected, 
biliows; some cases of cholera have proved 
exceedingly violent ; and the reporter sees 
daily cause for reiterating his recommenda- 
tion to attend at this season of the year to 
the slightest menaces of stomach or bowel 
disorders,
